With this horizon in view, the class of '38, for your future enjoyment, brings forth this fourteenth edition of the Pines We have followed the theme of football in this issue since We believe 1938 to be Buchanan's climactic year in football achievement.

And then it spread-that world of ours- But still so small and safe, Across the iloor and through the hall. And then one day it grew a bit: A path led straight down to the gate Across the orchard to the brook, A bird flew screaming through the air, A finny splash in rippled sun. Weary feet went plodding home, The world was great but we were content, For now we-'d seen it all. There came a day-we went to school, Strange and fearful The world appeared. But from that day-a new world sprang, One to be conquered And one to be known. Proud and gay those years fled past, Strong young feet that knew the way. Surely a world would see our stride And welcome us with outstretched arms When we had reached the twelve years' end, For then we'd learned it all. But now we stand at the outer gate Ready for work, Ready for life. And somehow the world has grown over night To a world of terror And lonely space. A Weary wail from proud young hearts, Heads bowed so low in humble fear, For now we know-there is so much to learn. l21l L22 .f 'zacficfioni 'tom montana James Snider Marshal CDippyJ Doak is going to be an artist, and as his subject he'll probably draw advertisements for bathing suits. Jerry White and Milly Miller are going to originate a new kind of Apache dance which will be a cross between a Sioux ghost dance and a Cheyenne death song. It's sure to stun the critics one way or the other. Burrel Weaver, also known as4 Squirrely, Snipe, Hammer-head, is said iby Smithyto be a lady's man. It's a pretty safe bet that Weaver'll be a life guard in the Hawaiian Islands. Earl fRomeoJ Stevens, better known as Twinkletoes -that battering ram of the football team-muscle-bound, idol of all women, and he-man of the basketball team-is gonna' catch the first freight headed for Hollywood to take the place of Clark Gablefin the hearts of bQll.ons of feminine admirers. fIncidentally, Steve paid me good money for this.J Kenneth C2nd classl Metzger has got a lot of work ahead of him. Bein' sym- pathetic and soft-hearted, he's decided to clean up the slums of New York. Jack iBar-rooml Banke is air-minded, or you d think so if you heard the answers he gives in English class. As a transport pilot he'll be flyin' from New York to Los Angeles. Ruth iLog-rolerl Willsey is a pretty good clerkg but, not likin' indoor work, she'll be a lumber jack. Ruth iShock-proofl Beardsley will be climbin' telegraph poles for an electric company. If your lights go out, don't blame it on to Beardsley, because she under- stands electricity and doesn't make any errors. Lawrence CI-Iigh-pressurel Zupke is in the milk business, but bein' smart and not cravin' hard work, he figures that being a salesman is pretty soft. His technique will probably resemble that of Elmer Blirt, but he'll sell more stuff with less soft soap. Lane fCross-cutj Dalenberg is pretty handy among tools and spends most of his time in the shop. He oughta' be a good carpenter. Rex fFleetfootJ Shreve claims he's gonna' be a skater-most any night you can see him practicin' for the 1980 Olympics. He's been skatin' since boyhood, and hes gonna' turn professional. After an argument with Kenneth Jesse, you might figure he's got a bad dis- position-with little sympathy for anybody. But this attitude isn't even skin deep or it doesn't last long. Jess is soft-hearted-at times he's plumb motherly. For this reason he has chosen his life work as a nurse. Don iBox-carl Beck is going to be a traveler. I-Ie'll probably be traveling as a first-class passenger on a freight train. 'lhe reason for this is to break the monotony of the gentler methods of travel. Joe tCoyo.tel March is gonna' go west and go gopherin' around the hills to see what gold he can find. As a prospector, I think hell be unrivalled. I've seen him look all day for a book, that Sam McCormick had, untli he found it under a desk. Ben fDead Eyel Harvel is sure handy with a rubber band. I be,ieve he can shoot a spit-wad through a four inch block of wood. Anyhow, he drew blood on the back of Mose Bachman's neck. Because of this unusual gift of making hi-powered ammunition, he'll be a munitions manufacturer. If Chester fBlackjackJ Borst traded voices with a bull-frog, the change wouldn't be noticeable. By this, I don't mean that he croaksg but his voice resembles the buglin' of a bull elk-can be heard for miles on a clear day and rings like a guitar. As a public speaker and guitar player he won't even need an electric amplifier. If everybody's voice was like Chester's, the makers of electric amplifiers would have to go out of business. Hank CCOnversationalJ Knapp can talk the arms off a dead man. Because of this unusual trait he'll be a barber. Right now, he can give you a haircut that'll make an Injun's scalp-lock look like a last year's bird's nest. Mary Mae Dreitzler isn't a noise-maker like Mose Bachman, but she's gonna' work in a broadcasting studio to produce the sound eiects. She'll pound on a rack with a hammer for the sound of Mose gettin' hit on the head with a spit-wad. Keith fCharlie Chanl Dalrymple doesn't read detective stories for nothing. He'll be a railroad bull to keep travelers from using the freights. As he's a friend of Beck, Keith will probably over-look him. Beck would be covered with so much grease and dirt from ridin' the rods that it'd be pretty hard to tell him from part of the running gear anyway. Dorothy Harroff is gettin' a lot of secretarial experience from Mr. Moore. She'll keep at this business and be a stenographer and secretary for some politician. Maxine Shaffer bein' the quiet, bashful type, will either be a chorus girl or work in a night club. Wanda Walter is an undersized proposition, but size nor weight don't count now- a-days. She'll be broadcastin' over the radio as a homemaker. Mary Hamilton is going to be an air-hostess. This job ought to appeal to her as she likes airplanes. Bessie Crothers is going to be a college coed. She'll stay in her freshman year for the first sixteen years. Agnes Kovich will be elected as a supreme court judge. She'll find a way to arbitrate and avoid the supreme court battles that are now becoming so popular, Carol Sebasty will be a farmer. She'll probably be a champion corn-shucker after farmin' awhile. John fStarJ Schultz is a noisy gent, and he's got a yell that sounds like the death groan of a prairie hen. Right now he's a sports reporter, and he'll probably keep it up. George fFearlessJ Burgoyne is an outdoor man, preferring hunting and fishing to school work. He'll be an explorer and hunter in Africa. With his rabbit-huntin' back- ground he oughta' make a second Frank Buck. Mildred fTalkativeJ Hartline has got a voice and imagination suitable fo-r a social welfare worker. In this work she will be touring the country and makin' big speeches. Olen fToadJ Smith in his writings has stated that, as a boy, he was fond of mak- ing mud pies, But time has changed him, and today his cookin' ability is rather doubtful. He's the Tizzy Lish of the home ec, class, but as his knowledge as a chef is limited to cake and candy, he'll be a weight-lifter. Richard QPeteJ Donley is to football the same as Tizzy Lish is to the cookin' world. Pete claims he's gonna' be a football coach, and if his team plays anything like Pete, it ought to win a game more than once every four years. Phyllis QSocialiteJ Lamb has always wanted to be a talented entertainer. For this very good reason, she will become a snake-charmer in Ringling Brothers Circus. Robert CDocJ Russell has always been a cut-upg therefore hes gonna' be a sur- geon. He'll invent medicines that'll kill or cure instantly so as to save unnecessary pain and sufferini This sympathetic man has always been soft-hearted, and he'l1 be a boon to suffering mankind. Beverly CEmotionalJ Koons is a 20th century writer of English class drama, and makes Shakespeare appear about as talented as Tarzan of the apes. Beverly won't con- fine her work to the English class, though, and we'll soon be reading her Shake- spearian drama out of a true story magazine. Carol fRemorsefulJ Kobe can draw like mustard plaster. She's a candid artist, drawin' almost everything. Of course, artists have to have models, and it looks like Earl Stevens and Hairless Joe Bainton have already landed the job. Before long these famous profiles will be seen in all the leading magazines advertising Cocomalt and Killum's Canned Beans. Richard CPlayboyJ Walkden has always had a winnin' way with wimmin'. He's gonna' be a traveling ag. teacher as he likes a change in the scenery and likes to take in new territory, Dale fLoverJ Lyon is going to be a government laborer, operatin' in the Ken- tucky Mountains as a revenuer. He'll be surprised and delighted when he runs onto his old friend Ivan CStill-waterl Price who will be in the brewery business in some isolated spot in them there mountains. George fPeter Arnoj Riley is gifted with the ability to draw cartoons. He has cultivated this unusual talent by drawing these humorous cartoons in classrooms and study-halls. He passes these pictures down the -aisle, in the raw. Of course every- body adds a few more lines and wise-cracks: and by the time they get back to George, those cartoons are the finished product. George will be cartoonin' for all the high quality magazines and a few funny papers. Mabel Bennitt is going to work in a pattern factory. CI could use that old joke C?J about bein' a cut-up but reckon's hadn't better.J Virginia Lolmaugh is going to be a model and, of course, will pose several times for that famous cartoonist, George Riley, who will use these pictures for magazine covers. Virginia Frame has always had a wish to be entertaining. She'l1 be a bearded lady in a circus. Rieta Brewer has chosen a profession that's a little under-estimated by most school children. She's going to be a school-marm, Margarete Haas is going to make a dictionary that'l1 beat Sam Johnson's or Webster's. It'll include all the words in the dictionary today and a lot more throwed in. Iris Dalrymple likes the work of an interior decorator. She'll be a paper hanger. Virginia Sanford likes music. She'll be a trumpeter in Bessie Harroff's orchestra. After her marriage to Dick f,PythagorasJ Austin, Caroline Webb will be a secre- tary and housekeeper for this great mathematician, Evelyn Wallquist has been taking shop and likes the subject. She'll be a brick- layer. Clifford fC0ld Chisell Keller will be a big league baseball player. Bein' Heaven's gift to women he oughta' draw quite a crowd on ladies' day. Daisy Reamer will be a lot faster than Gypsy Rose Lee. Shell only have her beat by about three words per minute but that's enough, because Gypsy will be a fast typist by that time. Marne t'Pep Trapp's gonna' be a chef. Anyhow he's got a goodrstart. He can cook more with a can-opener than anybody else can with complete kitchen equipment. Pep baked a birthday cake once that just about ruined his reputation as a cook. At first glance one might take Dick Austin for a musician or a bookworm, but he has more under his hat than hair, He'll invent a method that will revolutionize the solution of algebra problems.

The show that I saw struck me as rather unusual. I liked it though because I understood it. At least I think that I understood it. I'll tell you about it- This show was the story of a group of children. It pictured how they grew up and how each followed his or her way through the foundation of his life. This made it interesting-and different. But, I'm getting ahead of my story. The first part of the movie showed the little group wandering into school for the first time. This was in September, 1926. They were really a bewildered group as they viewed this complex thing called school for the very first time. After this, and for the following twelve years, each arose, washed fmore or lessj, ate breakfast, and started for were drivenl off to school. This seemed quite amusing. Then, a little further along, our group was found to be in the higher grades. Their talents were much improved. Quite so. For by now they could throw blackboard erasers quite far-and quite straight. But, they were headed for bigger things. Next, our group was shown entering junior high, and then came an- other big change. Out of the single classroom and into the great expan- sive halls they went. CAnd they usually went in the wrong direction.J It was no uncommon sight to see a small group peering into the window of a classroom door where they were supposed to be, but weren't. But despite the perplexing situations, our group wandered still more amazed into high school. The last part of this movie showed the little group all grown up. Now they were dignified f?l seniors. Only at times were they the noisy, rowdy group that entered school these few long years ago. They were go- ing to graduate, but they weren't as anxious to leave school as they thought they were. This is the part of school that each member of the group would hold forever dear in his heart. And what treasured memories the good times of that last year would be a few years from now. And even though there was hard work, they would always look upon these school years as a good time, forgetting the hardships which they encountered. Lastly, as the picture faded, I saw them leaving school. They were leaving behind the part of their lives which they loved so well. But that school will be with them always. It was a good show.--You should have seen it- U55 6755515129 Ssafion J UNIORS SOPHOMORE-S FRESHMEN EIGHTH GRADE SEVENTH GRADE -,H-1..1...-..11111111-..-1-,.,,- i251 l26l cmiofz Cyan cbfiifot Rex Hungerford Three years ago under the banner of the mighty freshmen We, the members of the junior class, entered into an era of enlightenment propos- ed to last four years and to better adapt us to our future livelihoods. With this proposal before us We chose Mrs. Weaver, Bill Strayer, Louis Pascoe, and Bob Habicht to take up the duties of faculty adviser, president, vice- president, and secretary-treasurer. We conceded a large portion of our extra-curricular activities to ath- letics, the music department, and various clubs. The following year, having found we had received promotion to the rank of sophomores, We selected John Miller, Bill Strayer, Rex Proud, Bob I-Iabicht, and Louis Pascoe as faculty adviser, president, vice-presi- dent, and secretary and treasurer. Again we were Well represented in distinctive clubs, musical organi- zations, and sports. We were moved to grave sorrow by the death of Marie Rudoni, a Well-known and beloved member of the class. And so this is the reputation we had Won when we appointed Helen Krebs, Martha Trapp, Robert Wesner, and Rex Proud as faculty adviser, president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer to carry on the splendid leadership rendered us in the past. Up to date We have continued our activities in the realm of extra- curricula.

We begin our freshman year with flying colors and elected Johanna Burks as president of the class, William Gregory as vice-president, Betty Ryan, secretary, and Virginia Arnold, treasurer, with Mrs. Weaver as adviser. Most of our time was spent in study that year, although our class did contribute to many of the school activities and had a great deal of influence over the social hours held last year. In this, our sophomore year, we realized that we must now begin to work in earnest, so we elected the following oflicers for the class: presi- dent, Robert Fairmang vice-president, Marion Hansen, secretary, William Ednieg treasurer, Lee Topashg and Mr. Langer as adviser. This year the sophomores really stepped out and took their place in the high school doings, contributing to the Latin Club, Future Farm- ers, glee club, band, orchestra, dance band, Library Club, G. A. A., Booster Club, football, basketball, track, and debating. There are two cheer lead- ers who are regulars this year contributing to the cause of good old Pepology. There were also two very successful high school parties sponsored by the sophomore class. We now feel that we will be able to Hnish our two remaining years of high school life prosperouslyg and we all know that when our life as a class is over, we shall go forth in different paths, and no matter which path we choose to follow, it will depend upon us alone whether or not we make successful use of the training we received at The School of the Pines.

The members study journalism and have the opportunity to practice real journalistic work by having their work proof-read, cor- rected, and published for the public. The Microphone is a column liked by all students. The staff is made up of amateurs who are willing to work to keep the column alive with jokes, acts, and news about school activities and students. Miss Cernahan sponsors this activity. Wafmatian Lifgtaty Ooiafy The Velmarian Literary Society is organized each year by the senior English class. This is one of the busiest, most progressive organizations that under-class men look forward to joining. President Keith Dalrymple conducts the business meetings held every third Friday. After the business meeting is over, a program consisting of the reading of original stories or poems, debating, singing, book report- ing, or some interesting feature is held. One of the outstanding duties of the club is to encourage students in creative writing. Each year prizes are awarded to students of the seventh grade through the twelfth, winning first place in the fields of short story, essay, poetry, and one-act play. To finance the awards, mem- bers write and present three one-act plays before the high school audience. The oiiicers are: president, Keith Dalrympleg vice-president, Carol Kobe, secretary, Beverly Koons, treasurer, George Riley, and literary critic, Earl Stevens. Mrs. Velma Dunbar is the sponsor. l39l E401 gufufzs Bendigo 'za 1 No, we're not pessimisticg we're just preparing for the future. We consider ourselves very modern.

President George Burgoyne takes charge of the business work of the club and is assisted by vice-president Harold Hittle and secretary Ben Harvel. Miss Krebs is the adviser. ffffc4. A club that is probably known better throughout the county than in its own high school is the Future Farmers' Association. Winning first prizes in a county apple judging contest, they went to a state contest where they then carried away the fourth prize ribbon. Under Supervisor Clarence Langer and the officers President James Hemminger, Vice-presi- dent Raymond DeWitt, Secretary Bob Best, and Treasurer Glen Sult, the club proves ambitious, prosperous, and successful. Bob Olsen, the club reporter, states that the club's greatest glory is the winning of all basketball games played with visiting F. F.

Each schoolls team debated the others twice, both negatively and affirmatively, using the question: Resolved that the several states should adopt the unicameral system of legislation. Richard Austin, Charles Bainton, Richard Habicht, and Fred Ket- chum debated negativelyg and Rex Proud, Jack Banke, Jack Morris, and Eleanor Naugle argued affirmatively. The team reported five losses but Won a decision over Benton Har- bor. Mr. Elbers is the coach. 'llaflm CLE Martha Trapp Tickets, please. Thank you, Sir. Right this way, Sir. These are but a few of the phrases used by the colorful usher club girls as they render their services at all the performances held at the high school throughout the year. The members are chosen from the junior and senior class girls, and selection is made according to courtesy, willingness, and popularity. The oficers chosen this year were: president, Shirley Trappg head- usher, Agnes Kovichg secretary-treasurer, Martha Trappg and Lucille Quade is the adviser of this useful club. l43l l44l U65 3004551 Catherine Wynn The Booster Club was organized by the high school home economics girls this year for two main purposes: the first, to create school spiritg and second, to become better home makers. The oiiicers of the club are: President--Donna Smith. Vice-president-Geraldine Reamer. Secretary-Eleanor Naugle. Treasurer-Elayne Blaney. Some of our activities of the year were to attend all the football and basketball games in a group. Also we are proud to have our own cheer leader, Lillian Fabiano, who was very successful and increased the school spirit. Before the football games, we made our B. H. S. pennants. At Thanksgiving we gave two baskets to two needy families. Each month we had some social activity. At Christmas time we held a white elephant party. We celebrated St. Valentine's Day with a party. Also we attend- ed several shows in a group. This school year ended very successfully for the first year of the Booster Club under the direction of our home economics teacher, Miss Krebs. lpigfzaty Wanda Wideman The Library Club was organized at the beginning of the year by Miss Luella Cernahan, a new English instructor. Several freshmen and sopho- mores have joined the club to fill the vacancies of former members. There are thirteen ambitious students who take charge of the work in the library during various hours of the day. The officers of our club are: c ' President-Frederick Manning.

This is sponsored by the national honorary classics fraternity, Eta Sigma Phi, of the University of Chicago. In our meetings we have reports from Johnston's PRIVATE LIFE OF THE ROMANS. We have taken our name, Legio Decima, the names of the officers, and constitution of the club from the manual put out by the New York University, Washington Square, New York City. The ofiicers of the Latin Club are: Consul, Lester Hanover, pro-consul, Richard Hayden, scribe, William Ednie. lvcqfgcinca fzcuzccziae Beverly Koons The French student says, Le Francaise l'apres-midi. Nous manger- cns. Nous prondrons le the' et les petits gateauxf' The English student says, Those lucky kids in French Club, I wish I were a member. I could eat, too. However, the French Club does not consist wholly of indulging in food. That is only a minor part. An extensive study of historical back- ground, the presentation of French stories written by notable French authors, the group reading of the monthly Le Petit Journal: all of which play an important part in the social meeting of the society. The organization owes its success to Le Directeur, Mrs. Weaver, and the officers: president, Sidney Deming, vice-president, George Riley, secretary and treasurer, Earl Stevens. We, the French students of today, leave a motto for the future: Hold fast to that which is good, and Le Francaise est tres bon. Au Revoir. i471 48 acuffy Qfay The Late Christopher Bean On November 19, 1937 a creditable piece of comic work was staged in the high school auditorium. The faculty presented their annual play. The play concerns the Hagget family in distress. The once peaceful home be- comes an uproar when they discover that an old artist, Christopher Bean, who had roomed at their home and had died several years previous to the present time, is now hailed as a renowed painterq and his work and any information concerning him is :ought by the excited world. Mr. and Mrs. Hagget tJoseph Hyink and Sarah Quickell realizing their po:sib1e wealth become hard, selfish, and ill-tempered. All seems well for the family except that Abby, the maid, tEunice Millerl holds the paintings in her power and refuses to give them to anyone. After plotting, bribery, and attempt- ed robbery the family finds all their work was in vain for Abby annonuces that she had been married to Bean, so lawfully she is the owner of the paintings. The play was very capably directed by Velma Dunbar, assisted by Helen Krebs. Other cast members were: Paul Moore, John Elbers, Earl Rizor, Virginia Pel- hank, Ruth Rutledge, and Clarence Langer. 512601 fpfaff The Nut Farm May 13, 1938 the seniors presented the play The Nut Farm, the title of which explains the play. The son-in-law, Bob Bent thlarl Stevensj is informed by the son, Willie CJohn Fulksj to come to California to buy a farm. The play opens with the scene in California some weeks after they have arrived. While Bob is looking for a suitable farm, his wife Helen tBeverly Koonsj meets a shyster movie director who says she is the new Swanson. With flattery and smooth talk the director Mr. Holliday fRobert Russell? persuades Bob to invest his money in the picture that will star his wife. Much against Wi1lie's wishes he does. Willie, seeing through Holliday's plans of getting Bob's money, upsets them when he is offered, under He1en's wishes, the task of directing the play. He turns the once tragic drama into a comedy, and the play is supposed to be a terrible flop, Willie won't dare come home, Mr. Holliday disappearsg and the family decides to go back to Newark, New Jersey. About that time one of Mr. Holliday's men comes and offers Bob five thousand dollars for his share in the play. Mr. Holliday stops that by offering ten thousand, but Willie saves the fortune of the Bent family by announcing that the picture has been a success and Bob has made eighty thousand dollars. Immediately Helen plans for her next picture while the exhausted family fall hopelessly on the sofa. Other characters are: Carol Kobe, Gerald White, Sidney Deming, Richard Aus- tin, Caroline Webb. John Elbers was the director, assisted by Phyllis Lamb. Luzioz ggfay Adam and Eva February 17, 1938 the junior class presented the play Adam and Eva. The footlights flickered, the orchestra stopped, the curtain rose before a full house and the show went on! Mr, King fDe Los Watson? seriously leaves his rich money-hungry family to go on a business trip to South America. His business manager, Adam Smith tRex Hungerfordl, is left in charge of his home and daughters. His duty is to keep the girls from spending too much money and keep the younger daughter, Eva fRuth Jean Haslettl, from marrying Lord Andrew Gordon fPhil Pierceb. While the father is absent, a report is made to the family that the family millions are lost, so they become domestic and move to a chicken farm. The new father keeps both promisesg and when Mr. King returns, he finds no bills and his daughter promised to Mr. Adam Smith, Other cast members were: Ruby Hall, Raymond DeWitt, Mary Garoutte, Karol Dunlap, William Strayer, and Winston Sands. Miss MacNeil was the director. 'ZCLHZCL l49l s. 3 is J' X . HN-,af sw? 'gig 3, T if T12-Q Qs? Q x , ! , jd W Tx - m5 It ,. x.

Q A BAND Maroon and white are the colors -and maroon and white are their colors, too. Arrayed in shiney new uniforms and carrying fine instru- ments, they opened each football game and filled the gymnasium with school songs during the basketball season. They stood as a body on the bleachers and encouraged the players with faithful yells. They made up the nucleus of the cheering section. Many thanks go to them for their spirit and help in making this a successful year. Mr. Robinson is their leader. GLEE CLUB M-m-m-m and then they break out into a beautiful melody. Their voices can be heard three times a week under the direction of Mr. Robin- son. In the fall they took part in a musical program sponsored by their director. This included solos, quartets, and group singing. In the spring, March 21, their voices mingled with those of members of neighboring clubs at a Glee Club Festival held at Watervliet, Michigan. ORCHESTRA The orchestra of Buchanan High School is an organization that has served the school for many years. Through graduation many members are lost but always Mr. Robinson, the director, trains some one to lill the vacant places. From the seventh grade to the twelfth, musicians come to join this club. With the work of Shubert, Beethoven, and Wagner they introduce the plays presented during the year and play between acts. Their instru- ments send forth the beautiful compositions of those famous men. They also serve the school on various occasions throughout the year. l51l E521 DANCE. ORCHESTRA This is the second year the present dance orchestra is performing its duties, and what could be better than the way they perform them? At each social hour or high school dance, arrayed in white dinner jackets, the members open the party with the theme song, Satan Takes a Holiday, which is quickly followed by other popular swing tunes. The social hours and dances are con- sidered the greatest out-of-school activities where friends are found and minds and bodies are rested after a day's work. If this is true, we can thank this orchestra for the 'successful relaxation hours. Mr. Robinson is director, and much praise goes to him and his players for the many hours spent in preparation for such entertainment as they present. VELMARIAN LITERARY SGCIETY PLAYS February 11, 1938 the Velmarian Literary Society presented their three original one-act plays and one radio play bcfore the high school audience. The plays were humorous comedies. Mildred I-Iartline's The Main support kept them laughing .The main character CKeith Dalrymplel refuses to dance with his girl friend because he has a headache, but he really suffers from a broken suspender. He reveals this only to his best friend 1George Rileyl who consents to help him by lending him his belt. In the struggle to get it on, Keith breaks the buckle, and so both boys complain of Uheadachesf' After much coaxing the girls suggest aspirin as a remedy. The boys then put aside all embarrassment and ask for safety pins. The Two Dollar Scheme, also written by Mildred, was a humorous presentation of the Ikey story about the boy tJohn Fulksj complaining of a toothache, the mother qMildred Hartlinel calling the dentist and the father fRichard Austinl who must pay the bills, suggesting the doorknob solution. This ends in the father losing his eighth tooth, the son's tooth falling out, and the dentist being paid with no service rendered. John Fulks wrote Refuge The scene took place in an old building during the war. Two reporters lDa1e Lyon and Jerry Whitel seek refuge in this building where two lovers lie dead on the iloor. A wounded soldier CEarl Stevensj enters, After they take care of the wound, the three go to get food. When they come back from the bombardment that is going on outside of the building, they iind the two corpses seated at the table and through conversation with them discover that they are all dead. Jerry White with the aid of Dale Lyon presented Jerry's radio play Over the Bounding Main or I've got a. Gal in Kansas City. This took place on a ship that was slowly sinking and burning. They exclaimed how beautiful the life boats looked as they went up into flame and how terrible the masts sounded when they fell. The captain Uerryj announces that he will retireg and if anything happens, to be sure to call him as he wishes to miss nothing. By the time the audience thinks every one is crazy, a boy announces: Eight bells and all is well. Ociaff! JUNIQR-SENIOR PROM An event that took weeks of hard labor and resulted in three hours of enjoyment and a life long memory was the Junior-Senior Prom of 1937. With green and yellow crepe paper, grass, limbs of trees, and a con- structed cottage, we turned the once cold, crude gymnasium into a warm, welcoming southern home. With soft music the gay couples in colorful formals danced in a tulip enclosed terrace until twelve o'clock. Good-byes were then said, and the juniors had ended an event never to be enjoyed again. The seniors went away from their last high school dance. The doors were locked, grass, paper, and branches removed, but the memory remains, the scenes and feelings cling to our mind. SENIOR DANCE The seniors gave the first dance held in September. Ah! a shiney hall with beautiful ladies in swishy dresses, gallant men in full dress suits, and an orchestra sending forth romantic music! No, a high school gym with a lovely stag line in skirts and blouses, handsome boys in football sweaters and no orchestra. No orchestra '? No, the seniors had a better idea. They had a radio. The tickets were made, soldg the time came for the dance to begin and the radio re- fused to provide music for the guests. I seeg so they gave them back their money and all went home. Oh, no, not the seniors. They started an old victrolag and while the guests danced to When I Grow Too Old to Dream, some boys borrowed a radio from a faithful, local merchant. Then, by a coast to coast net- work, the dance was again begun with all the best of orchestras from Hollywood to New York. L54 SOPI-IOMORE DANCE The sophomores thought how wonderful it would be to have a dance out under the stars, to have a fairy orchestra in a distance sending forth soft, sweet music, to have a clear smooth iloor to glide lightly over and sway to the mellow sounds. They dreamed of pole lights, tender music, and happy dancers. With skillful hands for toilsome hours they turned their dream into a reality. Paper stars glistened in the pale lighted gym- nasium, and the high school orchestra filled the room with tender music. It was believed to be one of the most joyous dances held during the year, and only happy students departed at twelve. SENIOR BANQUET After the football team ended the undefeated football season, the seniors rewarded them with a banquet. By candle light, with footballs sur- rounded by chrysanthemums as centerpieces, and with plenty of delicious food the dinner turned out a great success. Shirley Trapp was toast mis- tress and short but snappy speeches were given by several players. Coach John Miller spoke concerning next year's team. Mildred Hartline, to change the subject, gave a hilarious talk on Pains-in-the-neck. No one went home hungry or regretting his evening spent at the dinner. l LLHZO 'Z LEAVE IT TO DON Don Jerue: Say, did you see a dog go by here? Stranger: A Chow dog? . J.: No, a terrier.

He had watched his football students grow together as a unit, and he knew that this was to be a winning year. A championship team, however, with no defeat was unheard of at Buchanan, and he held little hope of producing one so soon. Nevertheless as the season progressed, he foresaw just that: a championship team. He told his regu- lars: Beck and Jerue, ends, iJerue became ineligible after the Niles game and Doak replaced him.b McCormick and Simpson, tackles, Weaver and Hamilton, guards, Bainton, center, Smith and Leiter, halfbacks, and Donley and Stevens, quarterback and fullback respectively as well as the second stringers: Price and Bachman, ends, Heckathorne and Sult, tackles, Rotzien and Walkden, guards, Ingleright, center, Trapp and Morris, halfbacks, Lyon and Dalrymple, quarterback and fullback respec- fContinued on page 629 'f BASKETBALL Keith Dalrymple Twelve days after the close of the football season, Buchanan was scheduled to meet her first basketball opponent. This was quite an assignment for John Miller and his varsity members: Don Beck, Earl Stevens, Olen Smith, Burrell Weaver, Rich- ard Donley, Marne Trapp, Keith Dalrymple, Dale Simpson, Dale Leiter, Robert Wes- ner, and Matthew Rauch, but they immediately went to work and after nine practice sessions, donned the silks against Berrien Springs for the first tilt of the season. In the first game Buchanan's ball handling was quite ragged, but the old fighting spirit which prevailed in football carried them through to a victory. Final score: Buchanan, 203 Berrien Springs, 15. At Niles the following week we were defeated 25-21, however we displayed an improved brand of ball. Dowagiac came to town Friday, December 10, and absorbed a sound beating, 36-17. By this time the Buchanan hoopsters had hit their stride. Stevensville, many times class HD champs, proved to be tough competition on their own floor, but Dale Whirlwind Leiter came through for us with a basket in the last six seconds. Score: Buchanan 25, Stevensville 23. Following one battle after another, the HBucks squared off against the in- vading Three Oaks t'Acorns' 'and beat them in a hard fought battle, 21-19. LContinued on page 625 61' I 62 BASKETBALL-Continued Back on the home iioor, the high riding New Buffalo quintet gave us our second setback. They beat us 26 to 20. Against Bridgman we settled an old score: they beat us twice last season, but this time the tables were turned. They went home on the short end of a 29-18 score. B. H. S. again won from Three Oaks 39-17. The return game with Dowagiac wasn't exactly a repetition of the first, but we did beat them 35-22. The following Friday Niles came to Buchanan raring to go. They beat us with a smooth, fast-breaking offense 40-29 . Now la taste of Indiana basketball. The New Carlisle Tigers fell before the Bucks on their own court 32-29. B. H. S. proved its superiority over Bridgman when they beat them a second time. Final score: Buchanan 39, Bridgman 12. The last game of the season was played at Berrien Springs and the Bucks were unpleasantly surprised when Berrien handed them the short end of a 22-20 score. In the tournament this year, Buchanan was beaten in the finals by Niles. The score was 32-24 Niles. And so ends this '3.-'38 basketball season. Six seniors who will be lost to next year's squad by graduation join me in saying, Good luck to Coach Miller and the next year's team. FOOTBALL-Continued tively that we had an undefeated season right in our laps and all we had to do was grab on to it. Well, you know the answer. The season's outcome was history. The team romped over the remaining opponents, apparently with ease, and gained the dis- tinction of being the only Buchanan Team ever to complete the football season undefeated. The first game was with Watervliet, and it was the only blemish on our other- wise spotless record. Buchanan outplayed them from start to finish in a downpour of rain, but the final score indicated a tie, 6 to 6. The next week the Bucks met Cassopoliis on the latter's field and gave them a drubbing 32 to 0. Coach Miller used 25 men in the last half and still the massacre continued. The final whistle brought the only relief to the battered Cass eleven. On to Paw Paw and victory number two. The Buck machine started to click in the last half, and the result was a sound shellacking for the Paw Paw team. Fifteen subs 'saw action in this game, thus saving our opponents further embarrassment. The final score read: Buchanan 35-Paw Paw 6. At home for the first time, the Buchanan team defeated its old rival, Niles, by a margin of nineteen points. Niles ball toters found the Buchanan line impenetrable, and it wasn't until Coach Miller inserted his 'second line that they were able to score their lone touchdown. Final score: Buchanan 26-Niles 7. Back on the road and victory number four. The Bucks journeyed to Stude- baker Park, South Bend, where they met Catholic High. The game as the score in- dicated turned out to be another breather for Buchanan. Final score: Buchanan 28- Catholic High 0. Next in line was South Haven. The Havenites came to Buchanan determined to win but all that was changed. She went home on the short end of a 6 to 0 score. Onward to Dowagiac and the flood ligh-ts. This was Buchanan's first game under the lights and she unquestionably proved her superiority over the Dowagiac opposi- tion. Coach Miller inserted his shock troop in the last half, and they carried on with colors flying high. Final score Buchanan 34-Dowagiac 0. Now the real test of the season, Kalamazoo's Western State High School foot- ball team. Western outweighed us at least ten pounds per man, but this matter was trivial, When the 'smoke of the long battle cleared away, we saw the score board very clearly. It read Buchanan 6-Western State 0. And so it was that Buchanan began and ended this 1937-38 football season. So long, fellows we'll be seeing you. POLISH Shirley Trapp Today I polished furniture!

A red head on the sofa is like padding your football suit with gun cotton. f H2O and HZSO4 are examples of things that look alike on the sur- ace.

The sea gull that wheeled and cried above by head was a better fisherman than I, but could he have been as happy as I? My canoe drifted, I didn't care where. The fishing rod that lay across my lap was often forgotten as I sat and thought. Thoughts of things and places that some day I'd see, but not now. As time passed, I grew a little hungry, only a little. I debated, for I knew there were sandwiches in the bow of the canoe, good sand- wiches too for my mother had made them. Yet to move might be to break the spell for I knew not why I was happy. A little hungry, a little sleepy, but oh so happy. Yet there were sandwiches in the bow of the canoe, good sandwiches too, for my mother had made them. IVIY EXPERIENCE WITH NATURE Keith Dalrymple To-night I stand looking out of my window towards-well toward the Great Beyond. A beautiful picture flashes against my brain, and I mechanically develop it.-Yet I cannot reproduce it.-I know not what it is. I see a tall straight body with long arms pointing skyward amidst a green ocean. Man says this tall body is a tree, and the green ocean is a field of grass. But who is man? What is he? To-day,-well, he's Jack. To-morrow,-well, it says here that he was a good fellow, his name was Jack. Q 5 Q if y 'Amar FISITORS B,?E.E I0 SURE, 66 STRUC-CLE FDR EXISTENCE. Richard Walkden While perched on a mossy stone by the rippling stream, I watched a glossy frog come sliding toward me. This is the life, I thought. If I could only be a frog. What a wonderful life with nothing to co but eat and sleep on the mossy bank of the stream! The bank would make a wonderful home for a personage of this size and a cool place during the sultry days of the summer. He would have a great flower garden of his own made of the small for-get-me-nots and drooping dandelions which were about to give up the struggle of life and make seeds for another generation. At this very moment his sticky tongue shot out and retrieved a buzzing fly from the petal of a near-by wild iiower. How easy it seemed to sit and wait for your food to come to you instead of going in search of it as the pickerel was doing in the silent water below. Again I thought how nice it would be to live as a frog, but not for long. Out of the darkness of the near-by weeds slipped a slimy silent creature, the water snake. With easy movement it slid toward the unknowing victim. The frog, sensing danger, gave a mighty jumpg but alas, the fate was the same. The Iiashy game fish gave a swish of his tail and a flip of his finsg then was seen no more. The flowers still bloomed cn the river bank, and I still sat thinking, thinking how glad I was that it was he instead of I who went to that watery grave without even the wild flowers to mark the spot.

In my hand was a heavy piece of white paper with a ribbon fastened secure.y about it. It was my diploma, res, I had earned it and worked hard for it too, but somehow, I don't know why, I just didn't want it. lt made me grow sick to think of leaving B. H. S. I sat down in a chair that was there in the locker room and began Ito think. I thought of the fellows and the things we used to do. Why I remember my first var- sity ro-otball game as if it were yesterday. I ran up to the referee and reported and then trotted over to our team. One of the fellows asked me if I was excited. No, I said, not a bit. Well, he said, how about undoubling those fists? Relax, kid, you aren't going to kill anybody on the first play. 'rhat was ad I needed, just a few words from a team-mate calmed me down, and after that, I wasn t a bit excited. As I sat there, I could visualize a certain party night. Gee, our senior class used to put on some parties. We didn't plan things out very well, but we always had a lot of fun dressed up old hats and school sweaters with light corduroy pants for con- trast. I remember how a gang of us always gathered in a corner and sang songsg it didn't make any difference what we sang, just as long as it was something. And after that we used to argue over who had the next dance with the belle of the school. Just little things like that, but we came prepared for fun, and by golly we had it. Gosh, I always have to laugh when I think of the bunch of practical jokers we had in school. Remember the time a gang of fellows locked the door on Mr. Moore and a group of teachers at a faculty meeting? Why, if he ever found out who did that, he wouldmhe would fall through the iioor, Gee, but wasn't it fun to see them come sliding down the fire escape, and it was more exciting than ever when Mr. Langer started down. He got his pants caught when he was about half way down, and all you could hear was his yelling something about getting his pants torn to bits. He wasn't even going to come out of the chute until he heard Joe Hyink round the first curve directly back of him, and then it was too late. They had a big pile up at the bottom, and were their faces red? And how, especially Kel1ey's. This was a celebration, and I don't mean perhaps. We certainly let Niles know that we knew how to throw tomatoes as Well as play football. Boy, did we paint that town red? I'll say we did. Why Niles looked like a cyclone had hit it. They must have had vegetables three times a day for a week to consume all of that stuff. Brr! why must I think of this prank? We almost got in jail. Turning in false fire alarms, whether at school or not, is against the law. It was lucky for us that we were friends of the chief-of-police. Gee,wouldn't we look pretty though in the city jug? This really stirred up some action around school. It even broke up the decid- ing game of the annual Miller-Flenar checker board contest. Al claims Doc was so frightened that he jumped up and knocked all the checkers on the floor, Yes, Yes, Yes, what didn't we do? I guess We were little devils. Imagine touch- ing off home made gun powder in the chemistry lab! I guess that causedf Hey fellows, hey gang, come here, look. Well, I'll be. Dalrymple has gone to 'sleep again. Oh, oh, excuse me, fellows. I guess I dropped off to sleep for a second. Yeah, I guess you did. Come on, you big lug, we have a lot of celebrating to do. We all got our diplomas.
