Using aptitude, interest, attd maturity tests wlticlt tlte stttdettt ltas takett as a basis, tlte counselor is able to point Olll tlte vocation which is best sttited for tlte stttdettt. lnfortnation on scholarships, schools, and lees, was givett to stttdettts who wish to ettter college or traittittg schools. 'l'he greatest bettelit ol tlte guidance cottrse for tlte studettt is tlte provision ol' a reliable, trttstwortlty adult with whom lte can lreely discttss any problem which tnay be troubling ltittt.

I.an- sayittg tlte word yes, then tltat is defective speech. Classes are one halli hour long attd they meet twice a week. Boys and girls meet with classtttates about their own age attd grade so tltat eaclt person will get many turns to talk and work on improving his speech. 'l'het'e are only ten pupils in eaclt class. Speech tltat is easy to ttttderstattd attd does ttot draw nttdtte attention to itself or the speaker is tlte goal of tlte speech correctiottist lor tlte boys and girls itt her classes: attd success is tlte goal of those sixty boys and girls, who twice weekly pttt down tlteir books and pencils attd lor a hall'-hour work diligently on talking better. f,Xl'l' Ilu- l11111111s llllll 1'11lw ol sclumol liln- c'o11u-s llu- school lilc- lo lu- ll1i11l4i11g ol gol1l. lllSll'2lll llllN XYLIQUII lllllll ol SlllLlK'lllS. 1-1u'l1 clan lJk'I1l o11 1u-1'- clans is c'l11111gi11g l1-o111 1111-1'o111'i11g lIlItlL'llL'lllNx 1l111N lDl'lll1lllllg 11s llllllli' i11 llllllsx gold 1-11sl1. blllllhl' i11 llllilil lllllC'll'l'gl'lJllIl S1-1-l4i11g lo 1-s111l1lisl1 llIL'lIlNl'lX't'5 llu- lK'1lll, llu- 'lik-IN, 1111- llllkllllg llu'i1' gold Zlllllllvl lylllillllllg' lllllllg lil'L'IJlIlg llu-i1' lu-zulw 11l1ox1- Ilu- Nlll llu- l11151l1- ol ilu- SL'lll1Jl' lL'1ll' llllll 1111- c'o111i11g vim' llliii' ol Sfllllfll 1u'lix'i1ic-s, 1111- llu- lllt'llIlJk'l'N ol llu llll'l0lIN l1'11111 Il1l'I1lll1L'x0l 1-cl1u'11lio11.

These students, from grades nine to twelve, have been selected by audition or talent. On the night of February 24 the girls again don- ned their rainbow-colored formals and the boys, their best suits. This was the night of the all im- 'portant Musical Review. There was a new attrac- tion in it this year, a chorus line of dancing dollies. In the spring, sixty glee club members went to the annual Berrien County Vocal Festival at St. Joe. It was fun but a lot of hard work too. Special numbers were given throughout the year for various clubs and organizations. Also a jaunt to Niles to take part in an exchange assembly was on the program for the year.

To prevent possible wastage of valuable paper, the Buckhorn was sold on a subscription basis. In cooperation with the Student Council, a subscription-selling con- test was held in November which proved ellective by inciting interest in the school paper and the sale ol' nearly three hundred subscriptions. The Buckhorn Staff sponsored a Sadie Hawkins Dance on November lei that was successful in both attendance and cooperation of the students in cele- brating the evening in the usual Sadie Hawkins manner, that is, the girls asked the boys for the dates and assumed masculine duties the entire evening.

Mr. Bixby QKenneth Heezenl had lived all his lile in a country town: recently he has come into a considerable amount ol' money and has moved to the city with his wife QVirginia Morelockj and daughter Betty Qqlanice Rizorj. XVhen the curtain opens, all is in readiness for Betty's birthday party. Mrs. Bixby has invited Archie Pomeroy Qfieorge Marshj because his family has both money and social standing which Mrs. Bixby believes are neces- sary. Betty, however, does not like Archie and in turn invites Elmer Hicks QBill Fairmanj, a child- hood lriend who is a typical country boy. During the party a gzune called Murder is played and Betty's birthday present is stolen. Mr. Beevy fLeRoy Smithj, the detectire, and Andrew Grimes Q.-Xrthur Blakey, who claims to be a detective, try to solre the case. Suspicion is shifted to first one guest and then another. Ruth Adams Q-Iacky Starkj, Helen Maxwell fSharon Davisj, Marjorie Mlhite Qhdwina Trappj, and Alice Burke fhlanette Hawkinsj take the parts ol' Betty's girl friends. Howard Xvells, a boy friend, is played by John Hamilton. Marie, the maid, is Gretchen Horst and Binks, the butler, .lim Martin. The play is brought to a happy ending, for not only is the mystery solved and the necklace restored but Mrs. Bixby realizes through it all the worth of true friendship and that social standing is not everything after all.

Www There are many times during the year when the treasure is close. And to each individual there is a separate thrill of achievement when the goal is reached and the golden wisdom pocketed within the mind for use in future years. The attainment of such a goal is often exempli- fied in a medal, an award, a letter, a hand shake. That is why each year an hour is set aside to honor such students as have earned an award in some field. This assembly is an essentially bright spot in every year of hard work. For within it is the record of all things well done. Here, as much as it is within our power, we pay tribute to fine students, artists, good people, and outstanding achievers. One of the oldest traditions still continued in our program is the seventeen-year-old practice of pre- sentation of bronze medals by the Velmarian Liter- ary Society to students whose work won first prizes in the creative writing contest which they sponsor annually. The names of these winners were not yet available when this book went to press. Awards were made for poetry, essay, short-story, and one-act play to groups of seventh-eighth graders, ninth- tenth, and eleventh-twelfth. The coveted bronze plaque was then awarded to the person in the upper four grades who, in the opinion of the judges, ex- celled in creative writing. The V. F. W. Auxiliary sponsored an essay con- test. First prize of ten dollars, second prize of six and third prize of four were awarded to Delores Myers, Carol Covert, and Sharon Davis respectively for their essays on My Part in America's Future. The D. A. R. award for active participation in school and local activities was won by Carol Covert early in the year and was presented at this time. Carol attended a state convention for the winners of these citizenship awards and competed with others for state honors. The senior student winning the D. A. R. award for excellence in history was Richard Brewer. The Latin Club presented awards for outstanding Latin students to Dora Lee Kohn, Lee Roti, and Barbara Chilson. Each band member who had completed his first year of varsity band was awarded a letter. Members who had already received letters were given stripes and service bars. Seniors who had made a record of dependable service during their years of high school were presented with small gold lyre pins. Those awarded these pins were: Carol Covert, Sharon Davis, Barbara Dokey, Gervin Keefer, Elizabeth Kline, Virginia Morelock, Barbara Reed, Janice Rizor, Joan Samson, Jacky Stark, Barbara Swem, and Marilyn Cease. This year the Bausch and Lomb award for out- standing work in the field of science was presented to Donald Upham. Awards for consistant work were presented to Carol Covert, Gretchen Horst, Wanda Nadrakowski, and Edwina Trapp by the Annual Staff. This year's valedictorian was presented with a year's subscription to Reader's Digest. The Buckhorn presented awards for work well done to: Delores Myers, Edwina Trapp, Monna Smedley, Carolyn Grime, and Wanita Ott. Each year several boys are sent to Boys' State by the American Legion, Optimist Club, Lions Club, and the P. T. A. This year Joe Huebner, Graydon Heim, Jim Merrifield, Bob Gamble, and LaVonne Zelmer went to Boys' State. Wayne Mann was chosen alternate. The American Legion sent Mary Ann Hagley to Girls' State. This year, as last, the Castle civic award was pre- sented to the high school student ranking highest in scholarship, extra currcular activities, improve- ment, dependability, and citizenship. The winner of this trophy had not yet been chosen when this book was published. Last year the award was made to Betty Rifenberg. Senior students who have attained an average of B or better during their four years of high school were presented with scholarship medals. These honor students were: Donald Upham - Valedictorian Gretchen Hfjrst Salutatorians Sharon Davis Carol Bouws Marilyn Cease Carol Covert Janette Hawkins Kenneth Heezen Bonnie Houswerth Richard Miller Delores Myers XVanda Nadratowski Mary Ellen Pierce Barbara Reed Janice Rizor Charlotte Ross Pauline Stretch Edwina Trapp 'P :- O I Under the able direction of Ralph Robinson, the high school's musical director, the music revue was presented on February 211, I9-19. After a warming up number, 'WVashington Post March, for tl1e band, the show opened with a con- densed version of Bridagoon by the glee club and band. Following this was a glee club number of the Fred Waring arrangement of All the Things You Are. Pat Quinn sang the Italian Street Song followed by Alice Blue Gown as an encore num- ber. ln the show were two vaudeville skits featuring Roger NVissler, Dale XVllllLllllS, and Marilyn Hewitt. In the first skit Marilyn and Dale sang All Alone and ln the Good Old Summer Time. Roger and Dale did an amusing act by harmonizing to Caro' lina in the Morning and My lVild Irish Rose. By the Waters of Minnetonka featured the girls' trio composed of Phyllis Becker, alto: Barbara Reed, second soprano: and Pat Quinn, first soprano. They were accompanied by Carol Covert on the piano and Dora Lee Kolm with a flute obligato. Supplying a few laughs to this portion of the pro- gram along with some close harmony, was the boys' quartet featuring Clinten Spaulding, Dale Williams, LaVonne Zelmer, and Duane Fletcher. The hill billy band, composed of Carol Covert, Barbara QAcej Zelmer, Betty fCactus Slugj Kline, LaVonne fGene Autreyj Zelmer, Kenny QPappyj Heezen, and Marlene fKrupaj Keen then added more laughs to the show. Carol Covert then took over, accompanied by the band, to play the first movement of Grieg's Piano Concerto. After this the baton class went into action fol- lowed by a baton solo by Pat Sparks, the teacher of the class. Dora Lee Kohn and Bonnie Poorman presented a French horn, flute duet. Duane Fletcher sang the spiritual, Old Man River, and Figaro was sung by Truman Schrag. Dale lVilliams, in his show stealing impersonation of Al jolson, then took the spot light for a few numbers and with the song Swanee introduced Marilyn Hewitt, Maxine Heiermann, Waiva Lenox, Barbara Arnold, Dolores Hines, Violet Pelley, janet Beck, and Yvetta Bowling, the dancing chorus, and Phyllis Becker in an acrobatic-tap number, and the glee club. The glee club sang the beautiful Lost Chord and America the Beautiful accompanied by the band as the finale. The crowd that attended this two hour show was a record breaker in the history of the music revue. 'A' 'A' 'lr 'A' 'k 'A' The annual F.F.A. Fair was sponsored by the F.F.A. and Mr. Ellis May, agriculture teacher. The judges for the agricultural and home economics entries were Mr. A. H.

Unscored upon until the sixth game ol the season, the Buck grid eleven went undefeated through the entire season. Although undefeated. the game with St. -loseph, played in inud and a downpour of rain ended in a ti-6 tie. The Burk inaehine relied on precision timing and sharp block- ing in its offense: and the defense, the best in the state, being scored on only twice, held together by a group oi boys that loved to play the gzune ol' loot- ball. The quirk maneuvers ol' the T-formation, zu last-charging line, and a swilt baeklield lelt nothing to chance. The football squad ol l8 was, without a doubt, the best, so lar, in all the years of lillfllllllilll High School. The Big Seven championship, the seeond straight, was eopped by the Bileks.

Unexpectedly the plea was well responded tog and so, after some weeding out, we found eight returning lettermen and an extremely good outlook towards a successful season. The list of the returning letter- men included: Bill Lovelady, Kenny Ehlert, Roger Mfissler, Dale Rifenberg, Bill Fairman, Dick Miller, Ken Heezen, and LeRoy Smith. Lettermen this year were: jim Topash, Don Matthews, john Hamil- ton, and Art Blake-twelve confident lads. On our first cage contest the Buck squad traveled to the South Haven court and found that they were not yet converted from football. They returned with spinning heads and on the short end of a 40-15 score. In the next engagement we found the Bucks on the Three Rivers Wildcat's hardwood as they came back from the previous week to soundly trounce the 'Cats 49-36. Then, an old, old rival whom the Bucks have wanted to beat over a period of five long years. Result-surprise: Bucks 35, St. joe 33. Next Buchanan played host to the State High quintet from Kalamazoo. They sent them home crying over being on the short end of a close 36-35 score. For number five the Bucks journeyed to Niles to break the seven game winning streak boasted by the Vikings. Score: Bucks 51, Vikings 44. Berrien Springs was the next victim of the white- hot Bucks as they were completely and unmerci- fully smothered 59-27. At Dowagiac, Buchanan almost lost hold of its first place notch as she slipped to the Chiefs 39-37. A non-league contest with the State High club that had been postponed from last season proved favorable to the Bucks as they increased their record to seven in a row. The score was 38-35. The Bucks had a chance for that all important first spot when they were hosts to South Haven. The . nn-1-14-..p,n , .. . , i 1 qi is c'fc f- ' V result, saddening but true, was the Rams 56, the Bucks 39. Buchanan quickly regained face and came back again to best the sagging Three Rivers lot, 51-26. On the next Friday the Bucks made their way to the town of the big bad Bears and got them- selves lost completely in their huge gym. St. Joe Bears 53, Buchanan Bucks 29. Ouch! That one hurt. The Bridgman Bees came to town and, contrary to other years, we sent them back home on the low end of a 50-30 score. A On the next engagement the Bucks journeyed to Kalamazoo to tangle with State High. Results proved it was a tangle - a bad one. State High 48, Bucks 34. Next in line came that old rival, Niles, again. They invaded the local gym and gained revenge from the previous tilt. A thrilling game until the very last! Score, 36-31. Berrien Springs found it impossible to outperform the Bucks, even though they were playing on their newly built hardwood. The Bucks outshined them 49-37 as Rifenberg tossed in 22 points. For the final schedule game the Bucks met Do- wagiac on the home floor and bowed out with a victory smile. Why not grin? The score was 51-32. This victory left the Bucks in a third place tie with St. Joseph in the conference standings. Tournament time found Buchanan drawing Do- wagiac, They had a somewhat difficult time scalp- ing these Chieftainsg but when the final gun was fired, the Bucks had a victory under their belts. It has been many and many days since the locals took a tournament game. The night of the district finals the Bucks met St. Joseph, who, two nights before, outlasted the Niles Vikings. Buchanan was knocked down and out, but good, as the Bears clawed them over to win 43-31. Prospects look very favorable for next year's cage team. I only hope they will result in being as good as they look. S3 ff ,gf V X155 Og- 1 Q I 1 A LAM.. 4- Q -2+ 1 LJ fxijf . , ' - ' -' Y. , 75 ' , 1 ffl' .

U Q, - . . Q 'iff ' 1 , v 1 fcontinued from page 665 Kalamazoo to venture into conference competition. It proved to be very tough that afternoon, but a couple of passes pulled us through and we walked away with a 12-0 decision. By now a little more confident, we greeted the Rams of South Haven on Memorial Field. Yet undefeated on the home field since its completion, we kept the record intact by blanking out the South Haven club 20-0. Next came what might be called our breathers. Although the score, 25-0, indicates a very one-sided game, it took more than a little bit of work to gather up twenty-hve points. Niles vs. Buchanan! This was figured to be a toss-up because of the close rivalry of the two clubs. It took but a minute to determine who would emerge the victors in that contest. We had waited a long time for that one and it wasn't going to slip by. It didn't. The score was 39-0, leaning toward Buchanan. A week and a half later we faced our first of three games that proved to be the toughest games of our schedule. Three Rivers, arriving in a bus bedecked with Beat Buchanan signs and having a record of one tie and no losses, was out to take over first place of the Big 7. The Wildcats scored first and they missed the extra point to take a 6-0 lead. This was the hrst time the Buchanan eleven had ever been scored upon in '48. The Bucks rushed back to score and it stood 6-6. The deciding point of the game was then tallied on a fake-placement pass play. It was good and the Bucks led 7-6. Both teams fought hard in the second half but neither could score and the outcome was 7-6. Dowagiac followed and fell to the Bucks 13-0, after giving us the scare of our lives. The last game of the season, played at St. Joe, was for the championship of the Southwestern Mich- igan Class B conference. St. Joe, tied but once in conference play, could take first place with a win onlyg whereas the Bucks, undefeated and untied, could take the crown with either a win or a tie. It was a nice, cool, rainy evening. The mud was four inches deep both on the ground and on the partici- pants. The Bears scored first but missed the point and we bounced right back to score but also missed the point. After their first score the boys from St. Joe cou1dn't move an inch and even though we edged the goal line quite a few more times, we couldn't pull the ball across. But the tie was good enough to lead us to our second straight Big 7 championship. In a post season choice, the Bucks placed live boys on the all-conference team to show why the Buchanan club had its most successful. season in the history of Buchanan High School dur-' ing the year 1948. 666666 By the courtesy of the Wheeler Publishing Com- pany, Chicago, copies of many cuts for this book were made from The Rush for Gold written by Frank Lee Beals and illustrated by jack Merri- weather. ,,. ,4. , ,,.
