Rah! 17 Class History ln the year of 1937 we began a new life when we started school. Miss Bush was our teacher. The next year we began studying our alphabet and numbers. Soon we were on our way to the second grade, doing quite a bit of reading and a few numerical problems. As the third grade approached us we were beginning to get the feeling of school. We had parties and added new students and friends to our class. When we were in the fourth grade we studied hard, thinking about all the years yet to come. The fifth grade was another year of study and the work was harder. As we neared the sixth grade we were all hoping we'd get through ok, so next year we'd be in the other big building. We were divided into two groups. The teachers were Mrs. Warner and Mrs. Cooper. Most all the country schools consolidated this year and many newcomers were brought to us. Then we were in the seventh grade. We had several different teachers now. The building inside was new to most of us. We got to go to Pep Meetings and became more interested in all sports. The eighth grade was our last year of grade school, and everyone just waited until next year to come. Finally we were Freshmen. It came slow and went fast for most of us. We had one or two school dances. As Sophomores we had a few more dances. Most of us managed to do our best in subjects and sportsmanship. When we were Juniors we presented a play called A Date With Judy . Most of the fellows that went out for football, basketball, or track had either received their lst, Znd, or 3rd letter awards. We also received our class rings which is a cherished possession to most of us. . The J-I-lop was also a big event. Now as Seniors we've broken one link in our big chain. We will graduate from a fine high school. Only a very few roads have been explored by us, all as students. Now as individuals we all must find an occupation which will help us to succeed in our adult life. 18 I.

On my way to the bus station in Charlevoix, I met Patricia Murray arguing with Mr. Coleman-what about? ? ? still trying to prove that name Murray is Irish instead of Scotch. Boarding the bus I met Charles Rose, who had just arrived home from a teacher's convention and was hurrying to his prinicpal's office at C.H.S. when seated on the bus I noticed Thelma Smith, who was on her way to Bay Shore to compete for the contest of Beeman's Pepsin Chewing Gum. When nearing Petoskey I noticed on a sign that Sue LaBlance is now co-owner of the Portland Cement Company. Finishing my morning sleep I woke up in Toronto, I bought a paper and I noticed a new published book on the stand. It was the Drost Easy Shorthand Method , written by none other than Bonnie. Catching the river boat, I was soon in Detroit-passing a barber shop to catch a bus, I heard a commotion to satisfy my curiosity I went in and found the former Sara Coleman teaching her twelve children to beconie Barbers. Getting settled on the bus I found time to glance at my newspaper. The headlines were surprising!! Allan L011iS61l2 just inherited 5999399.99 U bet he's looking for the other pennyl. While looking at Aunt Jenny's Lovelorn column written by our old friend, Marian Seymour, we arrived in Cleveland. . 1 Barnum, Bailey and Ringling Bros. being in town, I thought I would attend while waiting for my plane to New York, I had a few minutes to talk with Ron Wojan who is working there as the Tallest Midget . Arriving in New York, I stopped at a terminal to get a cup of coffee, while waiting for my plane to Washington D.C. to my surprise I sat next to Greg Bryan who is still looking for a Rich Widow . My plane being held up for several hours in Washington D.C. l spent my time at the Library of Congress. While there I met Chet McFarland. Who is trying hard to find a flaw in the Constitution. Having arrived in San Antonio, Texas I met a friend, who informed me that Bill Wallace is now a trap- pist monk. Reading a paper on my way to Rio de Janiero, I noticed that Viola Andersen is now owner of a Baby-Sitting Society in Veracruz, Mexico. In Rio de Janiero I met Fritz Allard. I asked him what he was doing lately, he replied Oh, am still looking for the Flying Dutchman. Catching a plane for Casblanca, I heard rumors that Beverly Cunningham has become famous for her hunting expeditions in the Congo. From Casablanca I took a ship to Monte Carlo . Later arriving in Athens, Greece I saw Joyce Murray, who is now making her living by sponge-diving. On my way to Switzerland, I read in the paper that Don Hardy was now a famous Taxidermist in Rome, Italy. Arriving in Lake Geneva, I could see from the plane, Joyce McGhan's little house on the top of the Alps, and when reading the morning paper over my breakfast, I saw Bill Ward is now a snail-fish tycoon at Lake Geneva. There was also an item about Joan I-Iess's show. She is working on a show boat in Vienna, Austria. The Black Forest in Germany was our next stop. There I heard Donna Farmer owned a famous old castle and was living in it--with all her servant's. Stopping at Holland on account of bad weather I decided to buy some famous cheese, and to my amazement I found Rheta Boss selling Dutch Cheese. Having spent a rough day on the English Channel I finally arrived at London and met George VerWys crawling around the docks behind barrels. I asked him what he was doing and his reply was, l'm number 1 snooper for Scotland Yard. He also told me Elaine Russel was a major in the W.A.S.P. in England and that Joseph Z0 Buchfinek had just invented a car that will run on water. Having heard so much about Scotland from Mr. Coleman I thought I would take a look around, I arrived at Aberdeen and decided to walk down town. On my way I saw a sign advertising Take a Finnish Bath in Scotland. It was owned by none other than Dale Suomela. Stopping into see him for a few minutes he gave me the latest news. He said Beverly Stroud was gathering heather on the highland of Scotland. On my way to Moscow, Russia I read in the paper that the McFarland twins were running a Finnish Restaurant. Arriving, I decided to take in a movie and found that Donna Armstrong was running a Drive-In-Theater. The next day eating my dinner at Hong Kong, China, I found Freda Taylor to be the hostess. While eating I visited with Velma May who was on her way to Manchuria as a missionary. She told me that Luanna Bambach was also serving as missionary in Singapore. Flying to Hawaii l purchased some bake goods and found they were made by Shirlee Clement, who is famous for her bake goods there. Arriving in Alaska the following day, I attended a beauty contest and when I left, Virginia Taylor was running for Hi-Society Queen in Eskimo Village. She told me she had heard that Howard Campbell was proprietor of the Always Cold Milk Company at the North Pole. Being tired of the cold weather I decided to go back to the U.S. We docked at San Francisco, when I met Joan Mathews, she said she was busy trying to keep her twins from getting sea sick . Deciding to have a look at Hollywood, I met several people whoml knew. Colleen Reed has now become famous and also is now signing her name for Ipana Tooth Paste advertisement. Al Ranger, who is trying to gain Al .Tolson's fame, Dwight Smith, who is playing 3rd clarinet in Spike .Tones Band. Donna Everts, who is Opera Singer for Metro-Goldwyn Mayer. Joan Lewis, who had joined up as the Marx's Brothers Sister and became very well known. I also met Harold Hamlin who is playing Superman for Walt Disney. Having seen enough of Hollywood I grabbed a paper and headed for Iowa. I read in the paper that Ron Cunningham is No. I Casanova in Reno. Also Gleneen Pemberton has started quite a Dude Ranch in Colorado. In Iowa I met Wilma Thorp who is the secretary of the wonder of the Korny Korn Flakes Company. When I arrived in Chicago I went into a restaurant and met Tom Donaldson. He said he had become a member of the Polar Bare Club. He also said that Nuel Johnson was running .Tohnson's Hot Rod shop in Kokong, Indiana. Headed for home we had a stop-rest in Grand Rapids where I found Betty Warner working for the Reconstruction Fender Corporation. When almost home we stopped in lronton where I met Charles Fairbanks, I asked him how he was and he said In the Dough--up to my elbows. He asked if I had seen .Tim Bowman who was married to May and living in East Jordon. Arriving home at last I met Rosanna Gillespie who is still trying to invent a silencer for the diesel so she can sleep at night. Home safe and sound I looked through my little telescope and whom did I see but Sam Hamilton, Town Crier in Tartarus yelling All's Well in Hades.

Again, as it was in the last five years, these words were echoed throughout the northland. The mighty Red Rayders of Charlevoix, had smashed their way to a perfect season, with seven straight games. These seven wins, plus the others racked up in the last five years gave Charlevoix a 41 game streak without a loss, and including two ties with East Jordan with whom we shared the championship in 1948 and 1949. When the season started, prospects for the Rayders were good, as eleven lettermen were returning. But their work was cut out for them, for we had a new Coach, Del Terrill, and he brought with him the T-formation which was totally new to the Rayders. In the early days of September there were two practice ses- sions a day, and after a couple of weeks the Rayders were shaping up fast. They then had a practice scrimmage with Traverse City and lost by three touchdowns to one, but they made many mistakes, and other ragged play had to be ironed out. As we approached our first game with Grayling, prospects for the Reds were bright, but Grayling was considered a potential darkhorse in the league race. This was soon settled as Charlevoix ran over the Grayling team 33-6 with Greg Bryan, speedy left halfback, showing the way with three touchdowns. Our next game was with the traditional rival, Boyne City. Boyne looked tough as they had downed Pellston easily, but the Rayders again smashed to an easy victory 31-0, with Don Hardy, hard driving fullback, contributing three scores. Charlevoix's hopes were high, but our next game was with East Jordan, who were thought at that time to be our toughest rivals, as they had tied us for the championship two years previously. Although this game was played under black skies, and on a very soft field, which was constantly pelted with driving rain, the Rayders proved superior as they drove to a touchdown in each half to win 13-0. Although overconfidence was now a chief worry, the next game with Gaylord looked easy. Charlevoix started slow, failing to make good yardage in the first two series of downs, but then struck hard and fast to win 59-6. In this game everyone saw action as seven men shared in the scoring. Our next game with Harbor Springs, proved to be very easy as the Rayders took it easy on Harbor and won 52-12. But this game showed a definite weakness in the Rayders pass-defense, which was one of the strong points of our next rival Pellston. Pellston had improved fast and loomed as the team which might break the Rayders win streak. They came to Charlevoix definitely prepared for the game, as they struck fast for a touchdown, after the Rayders had fumbled a few plays after the kickoff. The Rayders then settled down and battled their way to a score, but Pellston scored again also, and led 12-6 at the half. This score stood until late in the third period when the Reds drove over to tie the score 12-12. Then late in the last quarter, Charlevoix tried a long pass on the fourth down, thrown by Fairbanks and caught by Cunningham for the game -clincher, and this battle ended 18:12. Charlevoix's whole team was great, as was Don Hardy who drove over for our first two tallies. Mancelona our last opponent, fielded a young team, but were still dangerous. lt was a cold day, and although the Reds weren't at their best, they won easily 26-O with Cunningham scoring three touchdowns on runs of over 50 yards each. This final game climaxed a very successful season. Charlevoix was rated second best class C team in the state by the Associated Press and fourth best by the Detroit Free Press. Coach Terrill in his first year as varsity coach did a great job, carrying on a tradition of Championship teams. 33 , t Av 'v ' R88 'vs gg g ,bf Xml . W' I, 'E .

Fourteen Seniors will graduate, including eleven lettermen from the 1949 team. Of these fourteen players, there is one center, three guards, three tackles, two ends, three halfbacks, one fullback, and one quarterback. Fritz Allard, tackle, was used mainly as a defensive tackle this year, where he stood out with hard charging and good tackling. Greg Bryan, left halfback, played his first season of varsity football for Charievoix, and with his speed was always a dangerous scoring threat on oreakaway plays. Jim Bowman, center, was outstanding all year on offense and defense, in playing his second year as first string center. From 015 linebacker position he got many of the team's tackles, Howard Campbell, guard, was used mostly on offense, and although light, he always managed to hold his own in every game. Ron Cunningham, right halfback, was leading scorer of the team, and was always a threat with his fast, tricky running, and pass receiving. Torn Donaldson, halfback, was used mostly on defense, but did still manage to see quite a bit of action on offense at either halfoack position. 1 Charles Fairbanks, end, slaying his third year as a first stringer was always an offensive threat with his pass receiving and passing Harold Hamlin, end, did not see a great deal of action, but was one of the most improved players on the team at the end of the year. Don Hardy, fullback, was great all year Wltfl his hard running and timel assino and also stood out as a defensive end, breaking up play after play in every game. Alan Louiselle, Y P Q' tackle, ended two years as a first string lineman at guard and tackle. Dale Suomela, guard, was shifted there from fullback in 1949 And due to his speed he was used mostly on offense, leading tne plays from the running . . . . .. . d d guard position. Bill Wallace, quarterback, directed the team well all during the season and DIS passing ad e tt k B'll Ward uard layed both on offense and defense another constant threat to the Rayder's offensive a ac . 1 , g , p all season, and climaxed his second season as a first string lineman. Ron Wojan, tackle, played his first sea son of football for Charlevoix, but learned fast and at the end of the year was a good addition to Rayder's for- ward wall, Some of these players will probably continue playing footba in co ege, o 3 for their part in the history of football at Charlevoix, for their part in extending Charlevoix's unbeaten streak for fortyfone games, and for winning another conference championship, the sixth consecutive, for tHE Re ll ' ll ' ut the f shall be well remembered Rayders of Charlevoix High. 34 I Varsity aria 4 iq A, -:AT ., V - ,, ,, ..x4 , W 'vs-. x 4.171- fi rm . 2. f'JL , 34,11 .4 4 f 'I Yk' 40, YZU, Second Team A .par E 'ff .1 4- 5 A: . v .

The team also received strength when Ron Wojon moved to Charlevoix from Cleveland, Ohio. The Rayders started things out in impressive fashion by down- ing Harbor Springs 55-31, who they also soundly defeated in their second meeting 68-36. Charlevoix followed this first victory by trouncing Gaylord 59-36. Gaylord proved tougher on their home floor but were subdued 48-35. The third game on the Charlevoix schedule brought traditional rivals Boyne City and Charlevoix together., Boyne led throughout the game but a determined Rayder rally eked out a 39-37 victory. It looked like Boyne was going to turn the tables and come from behind to win, but after leading by sizable margins throughout the game, the Rayders had to be satisfied with a 51-49 victory. Next East Jordan, conference champs of the previous year bowed 38-35 in a hard fought contest. The Jordanites, however, came back the second time to administer Charlevoix its only defeat, 38-40, in one of the Rayder's poorest showings of the year. Charlevoix continued its six year mastery over Petoskey by trouncing them twice by 60-38 and 70-50 scores. This was also true of Mancelona who also went down twice before the Rayder onslaught, 75-38 and 72-34. Charlevoix's seventh and final games were with Pellston who was soundly trounced both times by scores of 71-37 and 62-39. Playing only fourteen games they still managed to amass a total of 813 points against 534 for their opponents. This total of points scored was good for a 58 point offensive average, which is a school record The previous school record of 795 points scored for one season of regular play was made during the 1948-1949 season. Four of the graduating Seniors, Hardy, Smith, Fairbanks and Wallace also played on this team. Graduating players have taken part in winning two District crowns .and one Regional championship, and if they keep on playing as they have during this season should add further laurels to their team and school. It's without doubt that Coach Del Terrill will surely miss such graduating mainstays as Charles Fairbanks, Bill Wallace, Don Hardy, Tom Donaldson, Ron Wojan, Dwight Smith, Ron Cunningham, and Jim Bowman. Only Charles Krahnke, Norm Ketchman, Dean Boss, and Bud Barber will be returning for next year's varsity. This year's conference championship was a fitting climax to the basketball careers of the Seniors. During the 1948-1949 season they finished second to Boyne City but went on to defeat Boyne in the Regionals, and then went on to lose in the quarter-finals of the State Tournament to Negaunee, who came down from the upper-penninsula, by a score of 30-37. Last year the Rayders finished in third behind East Jordan and Boyne City. They went on to win their District Tournament and then lost a heart-breaker to Boyne, 38-39, in the finals of the Regional Tournament. Twice in the last three years the Rayders have been voted by Northern Michigan sports fans the top team in the North and the name of Charlevoix has consistently appeared in the top ten in the state. So it's with regret but also with luck that we say good-bye to these graduating Seniors of the Class of 1951. 36 Rayder Greats -W' ' X 1, -'v-was A fa JIM BOWMAN RON CUNNINGHAM Has won two letters in basketball I I ' -A-ISO Willllfl' Of WVU 100'-'l'S.

Q 37 Varsity 114 Y Second Team H L A 38 'is Track These are the boys who have put Charlevoix on me map as having a great track team: the fellows who work long and hard at just one thingy that is, to be better than their opponents. Charlevoix teams are known all over the state for good sportsmanship and fight. Our team this year has a great many Seniors on the squad, all of them better than average. Miss- ing from the team this year .Tim Jolliffe, .Tack Dodge, Mike Bergeon, George Haggard, Charles Cross, Don Gill, and Red Foster. The loss of the boys will leave the weight of this year team on the Seniors coming up. Last year the team won the District meet but lost out to Reed City by four points in the Regional. The fellows that went to the State meet in East Lansing made a good showing, although getting only ten points. This year we have meets with Ellsworth, Central Lake, Petoskey, Grayling, Harbor Springs, and East Jordan. Then in May we attend the Central Michigan Relays, where we al- ways get a few points. The District meet is next. Charlevoix has won this fourteen years in a row, starting in 1938. With two weeks left in the month we travel to Cadillac for the Regional meet which we have won ten times. Finally the big event of the season: The State Meet. On the next page you will see the Seniors who are to make Charlevoix a powerhouse again this year of 1951.
