Cass City High School - Perannos Yearbook (Cass City, MI)

Text from Pages 1 - 80 of the 1950 volume:

We, the Senior Class of 1950, take pleasure in presenting this record of a crowning year at Cass City High School. Remember, gentle reader, it is beyond the ken of human knowledge to portray adequately in such limited space the varied activities of our school. When time has effaced from our minds the days spent here, these humble pages shall conjure up from our memories the events that have transpired in the twilight of yesterday, then we shall feel that our endeavors have not been in vain. PERANNOS Cass City High School Cass City, Michigan DEDICATION The class of 50 in token of our gratitude and respect do dedicate this volume of Perannos to Mrs. Zora Day. She has served faithfully and willingly in our school for twenty- nine years. She stands as a symbol of all that is fine and excellent in her chosen profession and as a citizen of her community. Now in the twilight of her teaching she may look back with pride and satisfaction upon her work at Cass City High School. 2 ADMINISTRATION Mr. Cameron Wallace, Mr. Frederick Pinney, Mr. Lester Ross. Mrs. Helen Baker, Mrs. Alice Donahue.

Especially to those oountry youngsters that oaroe so shyly to olass and were always going into the wrong room. It wasn’t long before we knew our way around and were having parties as often as our upper-olassraen. Boarding the rooket, there was a total of 76 students in the class. Our class advisor for the year was Mrs. Harold Oatley and our class offioers ware: Dean Fox- President, Joe Kilbourne-Vioe President, Josephine Oleski-Secretary, and Mary Jane Lessroan-Treasurer. After stopping off at a vaoation planet we again hopped into our rocket and started on our sophomore trip. We soon had our leaders selected. They were: Gil Sohwaderer-President, Jaok Bird-Vice President, Vivian Martin-Secretary, and Norbert Kapala-Treas- urer. Our class sponsor was Mr. Parker. We were moving faster now. We were taking off on the third lap of our journey. You guessed it. We were out of moneyti So-------------we put on the Junior Play, Almost Eighteen . Also to us fell the honor of giving the Seniors of ’49 their fare- well party, the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. Our theme was Good Luck ’49ers . Mr. Cardew was our advisor and our pilots were Nancy Schwaderer- Pre3ident, Janet Habicht-Vioe President, and Barbara Howarth-Seoretary, and Ken Brown-Treasurer. September of 1949-—seniors, at last, and we are climbing aboard our high school rocket for the last time. As, with any senior olass, we have to start facing some of those lasts --last game, last prom, etc. Mr. Holmberg acted as our sponsor and our olass offioers were: Gil Schwaderer-President, Fred Ross-Vice resident, Martha Martinek- Secretary, and Ken Brown-Treasurer. We have passed thru our last year of our high school career, which climaxed with a 4 day boat trip to Detroit, Toronto, and Niagara Falls. CLASS HISTORY Many of our original number have gone and those who have stayed with us are perhaps a little sad now to leave Cass City High School. Wo are somewhat frightened of what may be ahead of us, but we thank teachers, sponsors, and the many friends for making these four years the happiest, shortest, and most exciting in our lives. CLASS PROPHECY It is now tha year 1960, ten years sinoe the class of 50 left the steps of C.C.H.S. Sinoe that time I have visited eaoh one or tried to find out what they are doing now. would you like to hear about them? My first stop was on a farm east of Deford where I found Walt Rayl and Marilyn Bohr do- ing fine with a large herd of dairy oattle. While Marilyn was getting dinner for me, I picked up the paper and read where Bnaline Bullis and Ruth Bwald have just returned from South America whore they have been doing missionary work. After that wonderful dinner of Marilyn's, I went on into Caro to pay my phone bill and who do you suppose is the tele- phone operator? None other than Shirley Kritsman. Of course, being a telephone operator she hears the latest bits of information. She said, Just by accident, of course, I over heard Bob Mann accepting a job as Proffessor of English at the University of Michigan. I wasn't surprised to find out from Shirley that Anita Weatherhead ha3 now taken over her mothers beauty business and spends her days winding curls. Coming out of Caro I failed to 3top at a crossing and who do you suppose was hiding behind a bill board just waiting to give some one a ticket? None other than Ken Martin, (he seems to have used his si e to an advantage.) As I drove on through Romeo on my way to Detroit I found out that Martha Martinek has married and they now own a truck farm there. A little further on my way to Detroit, wondering whom I would meet next, I noticed the oars stopped up ahead and a band coming through. Who do you suppose was leading it? Melvina Chase — remember when she was majorette for Cass City? By the end of the day I was tired of my traveling and decided to see some of the night life of Detroit. I picked up a paper to see what there was to offer and notioed Nadine Weber's name billed as top singer at Club 84, but I decided to go dancing instead. Beoause it is so hard to find parking places I oalled a cab, and, as I got in, I was quite sur- prised to see Fred Strong driving it. When I finally got to the olub, the perky little hat check girl was none other than Joan Kanaby. I really wasn't too surprised to find Roger Parrish and his band playing there, but I was startled to hear a familar voioe say, May I take your order? and there in the traditional soup and fish of the head waiter stood Douglas Van Allen.. After a good night's sleep, I was ready to continue my searoh for my former olassmates. I wandered into the Woolworth 5 and 10 store just to look around and I notioed a large crowd near the back. I walked back to find Jim Baker taking pictures-2 for 25 or 3 for 35 , developed while you wait... step right up folks. Who's next? There didn't seem to be anyone else there I knew so I went on down to the J.L.Hudson company as I had heard that Mary Jane Lessman was a model there. I found her there and I also found Barbara Howarth working there as sales woman. She told me she had married Jaok Bird shortly after graduation and he was now doing well in a business of his own there in Detroit. Barbara also told me that she often sees Janet Habioht, who was teaching the 8th. grade at Royal Oak. It was about noon, so I dropped into Sanders for dinner; I was very much surprised to find Leona Whittaker and Margaret Peddie working there. You remember that Margaret and Marguerite Pawlowski were always good friends so I asked her if she ever saw Marguerite. She replied that Marguerite and Amelia Pena had gone into business as artists and were doing very well making oil portraits. ie CLASS PROPHECY CONTINUED I had heard that Betty «iciiiller was a psychologist so decided to look her up next ifor personal reasons only.j When I finally located her office, I found it was on the 8th floor so I took an elevator up. It was rather startling to hear What floor, please? coming from Jim Schad as I entered the elevator. I had a nice visit with Betty and when I asked her if she ever sees any of the class of BO she said, Oh I see Ferris Ware often. I suppose she meant only in his professional capacity as a comedian in one of the night clubs near her office. (The Arthur Godfrey type I understand.) Leaving Betty, I had just nicely stepped out on the sidewalk when whom should I see coming down the street but Shirley ’Watson and Bob Bader. She told me they had left their prosperous little farm for an all day shopping trip. When I inquired of Shirley about a few former class mates she replied the only one she knew was Ken Brown, tie is a preacher in a country church near her home. I continued on my way and a sign caught my eye, the R. and R. Detective Agency. (Ross and Roach) Right next door was a bar, and when I walked in I found Jim Wilson help- ing to furnish the music, Robert Wood setting up drinks, and Jim Turner and Norbert Kapala just sitting. When I was talking to Jim he told me that Gil Schwaderer has taken over his dad's gravel pit and is busy producing little cement blocks. As I left there and walked cn to catch a bus down town, I noticed Elaine Root's and Mildred Arnott's sign out as window decorators. While waiting for the bus I bought the Free Press, but nearly forgot to read it on the bus after I discovered Duane Rushlo was the driver. Recovering from my surprise, I started to look through the paper and read on the sports page that Joyce Fry and Nancy Schwaderer are on their way to the Olympics as track stars, still running things!I! I also noticed that Doris Franklin and Dean Karr are doing well and have bought a modest little bungalow in Highland Park. Leaving the bus, I started to look for a good movie. When I got there, I found Loyd Langmaid selling tickets, Betty Spencer selling popcorn, and Virginia Newton and Mary Lou Anderson as ushers. It was a good show and I had a wonderful seat so after the show, as there didn't seem to be anyone else in Detroit I knew, I decided to try and locate some that lived out of town. I found out from her mother that Beverly Evans is the private secretary of a large firm in Chicago. Coming through Frankenmuth, I saw that Roberta Hempton was selling Home Cooked Chicken Dinners. As it was near meal tine, I thought it would be nice to pay her a visit. Her meal was wonderful ard when I inquired of her about former class mates. She said that Milton Hnatiuk was working as a D.II.I. man (Dairy Herd Inspector) for the Nestle Co. She also said that Georgene Lowe has married Clare Brown and now holds large shares in the Bordens Milk Company. As I knew that Georgene had been friends with the Keller girls, I decided to look her up and see if she knew what they were doing. She said Rosalie is now married, living in Port Huron, and works as a secretary. Marion Keller has moved to Ubly, to be nearer her work. (Harry Grifka) I found out from Georgene also that Naomi Crison is a seamstress at Mt. Clemens. I had by this time found out all there was to know about my former classmates, except two of them so I came back to Cass City to see if I could look them up from there. I was sorry to see I had missed Josephine Oleski in xy tour around Cass City the first time. She has now married Steve Ziemba, and lives on a farm near here, and is raising future candidates for Homecoming Wueen. By inquiring of her parents I fo.und that Barbara Hill is now working as cashier for Sears and Roebuck in Bay City. Well I must get back to rr.y 29 kids!!!!!!

There are two stuuent libiarians every hour, also one during home room and one during noon hour. They assist the librarian by checking books, alphabetizing, filing cards, dusting shelves, stack reading and taking roll.

A representative from each of the six upper grades, home room presidents, presidents of school organiza- tions, and appointed members to the council attend the meeting. The presiding officer is the president of the high school, elected each May by the students. The meetings are held each week on Wednesdays. Our advisor is Mr. Holmberg; al- though different teachers are given the opportunity to sit in on the meetings. We ere given the opportunities of learning parlimentary procedure, intelligent voting, legislative debate, and cooperative action. The purpose of the council is to propose regulations for the conduct of the students, to inform the teachers and the public of the needs and wishes of the stu- dents, to provide for projects of interest, and to aid cooperation between students and teachers. Two Student Council sponsored parties have been given. Dance records have been purchased for the dances after games. Ve have sponsored an assembly every month. Two movies were shown and several speakers and musical assemblies were presented. The council sponsored Twirp season.

Kritzman, Mr. Ross After an absence of four years, debate was reintroduced in Cass City Eigh School this year as an extra-curricular activity. The negative viewpoint was upheld in the first debate by Helen Phetteplace and Bob Kitchen; and in the other three by Shirley Kritzman and Helen Phette- place. Bob Mann and Melva McConnell were the affirmative debaters. The first debate at Sandusky on November 11 was an even break with the affirmative team winning and the negative losing by a very close decision. Cn November 23 they had two sweeping victories from Caro but were overpowered by St. «Joseph of Bay City for a double loss on December 5. On January 6 the teams traveled to Mt. Morris; and dame fortune smiling on them again, they achieved two victories. By virtue of their winning five of the eight debates, Cass City qualified for the district finals. They traveled to Alma February 2 only to be over- powered by Elsie, the runner-up in the final championship debate. East Grand Rapids won the final debate from Elsie. Since it was impossible for all the students to participate in the league debates, they received some training in practice debates this year, and hope to make the first team next year. The team was presented with a plaque for entering the district finals. Seated L. to R.: M. McConnell, R. Keller, H. Phetteplace Standing L. to R.: B. Mann, Mr. Ross, li. Keller, S. Kritzman, 1.

First Year The Art Class of 1949 and 50 consists of two groups, first and second year, both years have Cone just about the same things: scenery paintings, still-life, stage bacK, posters, and soap carving. The first year nave had perspective drav ings, and the second had oils. Throughout the year the students have learned to use and take pride in their materials. They were enabled to use the mediums of charcoal, India inks, temperas, pastels, water color and oils. 42 BOCK WEEK CONTEST WINNERS Amelia Pena, second place, Marguerite Pawlcwski,first place COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT TYPING CUSS The typing class consists of 58 members and is divided into four groups. Here you see the students hard at work typing business letters. BOOKKEEPING CUSS The bookkeeping class with 34 members are starting their Dean Practice Sets. Another business course is business training, tought by Mr. Weatherhead. SHORTHAND CUSS The shorthand class is taking letter dictation. Miss Mitchell is the instructor for these three classes. 43 SCIENCE DEPARTMENT fg) CHEMISTRY 44 PHYSICS INDUSTRIAL ARTS DEPARTMENT The boys make up advanced shop, general shop, farm shop, shop IV, and mechanical drawing. The general shop is composed of mostly, freshmen and due to this fact is the largest of all the classes. The sophomore beys make up the farm shop. The Jr. and Sr. boys make up the advanced shop and mechanical drawing. The school has found this industrial arts department very helpful in making minor repairs and new equip- ment. The girls in shop seem to enjoy the last hour of the day very much. They like to show the boys the skill they really have. The girls make many useful articles such as: corner shelves, bread boards, lamps, and footstools. They are also very skillful in plastics and leather. J 45 FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA FIRST ROW: J.

We held our annual election in September of last year, and elected Uuane Rushlo as president, James Fox--vice president, Lee Hartel--secretary, Eugene Kloc—treasurer, Jesse Willerton—reporter, and Alfred Murray—sentinel. The FFA has had a very busy year. We attended a football game at Michigan State College in October. We held a Leadership Training Conference, which was attended by the other FFA organizations in this county, here in November. Three delegates to the National FFA Convention in Kansas City, Missouri were sent by our chapter. They were James Turner, James Schad, and Duane Rushlo. A basketball team was organized, and we played games with Elkton, Vassar, Union- ville, Fairgrove, Caro, Pigeon, and Mayville. The senior FFA boys attended a hockey game in Detroit, which we enjoyed very much. A large number of the members attended Farmer's Week at Michigan State College this year. We are now looking forward to a summer trip, and another busy year for 1950.

The new officers elected this year were president, Lee Martel; vice president, Ken Martin; secretary-treasurer, Fred Matthews. This association was organized in the fall of 1947 by Mr. fcaur, the agriculture teacher at that time. The purpose of this organization was to help the agriculture students get started in purebred swine. We began by purchasing two registered Hamp. gilts and two registered Duroc Jersey gilts. These original gilts cost the Junior Swine Breeders $25.00 a piece. One half of this money was furnished by the Future Farmers national fund. These four gilts were placed out on four individual F.F.A. members farms. These students were to feed and care for these pigs with the agree- ment that they would pay for the gilt by returning two gilts from the first litter. The organization now has seventeen members with a total of twenty one sows and gilts. We placed eight gilts out on farms this fall and have four to be given back in the spring. YOUNG FARMERS CLUB The young farmers club is a club for young men out of school under the age of 30. This class is not like a high school class. It is a group that gets together to dis- cuss problems that they may be having also for advice. This group has special speakers which helps them with their problems and also movies which are very helpful. The meetings have been well attended. They will be continued again next year. 47 FRONT ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: N. Graham, B. Wallace, D. Donahue, B. Leslie, J. Gallagher. SECOND ROW: D. Joos, A. Murray, M. Karr, B. Zinnecker. THIRD ROW: L.

We didn't do as well as we have done before, although Dick Joos took first in his class and came out for Grand Champion. All of the lambs were placed within the first 10.

It takes place in the living room of an ancient, pre- revolutionary war house in Connecticut. The Gage family has bought the house acknowledring the fact that the original owners have the legal right to live in the house if they ever return. The Gages feel cuite certain that these oeople, the Rockwoods, are dead since they have been gone for over six years. Hence Mrs. Gage remodels the old house as well as the antioues within. Then, as fate would have it, the Rockwoods, with their son Matt, return. Neither family is able to move because of the acute housing shortage. The Gages are a modern family with throe lively daughters, the eldest of which is engaged to George husted. The Rockwoods, on the other hand, are a not-quite-so-modern family and they def- initely do not believe in modern conveniences. The ensuing clash between the two families is something you just couldn't miss. 31 JR. SR. RANQUET 1949 Way 6th., introduced a new theme, Good Luck 49'ers for the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. Ken Brown led the 'hvestward' movement as our capable master of ceremonies, and had us back in the old Gold Rush days, in spirit at least. After the dinner, members of the junior class put on a very humorous skit centered around the Golden Nugget Cafe . At 9:30, dancing to the music of Joe Lavigne’s Orchestra climaxed one of the top social events of the year. 92 L. to R: H. Murphy, J. Kilbourne, E. Willorton, K. Murphy, b. Martus, E. Kilbourne, L.
