Charlotte High School - Delphian Yearbook (Charlotte, MI)

Text from Pages 1 - 192 of the 1957 volume:

The 1957 Yearbook Staff takes great pleasure in presenting the I Charlotte High School, Charlotte, Michigan We proudly dedicate this book A mailbox stands in front of a small white house in a subdivision of Charlotte. The name on the mailbox is Davis; the people inside the house could be found sitting in the warmth and comfort of a small invit- ing living room. We should know these people, for they know us very well. Mrs. Davis is a quiet, humble woman who is a firm supporter of her husband’s beliefs and Christian ideals. Her smiling encouragement tells us better than words how very welcome we are. The strength in the handclasp of Mr. Davis seems to convey the strength of the man. We are seated, made to feel at home, and our conversation begins. There is a question we have been wanting to ask about the generosity of these people. What was the reason for making the Natatorium pos- sible? But Mr. Davis seems to sense it and answers it for us. We still don’t feel as if we’ve given anything,” he says. “It was an investment in the future.” Such faith in youth gives the lie to screaming headlines that herald youth’s degeneration. Our minds, our souls, our moral fortitude thrive on the nourishment this faith gives. The youth of Charlotte gladly accept Mr. and Mrs. Dorr C. Davis’s challenge, You’ll make the world a better place to live in than we have,” and with pride we sincerely dedicate the 1957 Charhian to them, and ourselves to the fulfillment of their faith. 2 This then is the Natatorium, modern, beautiful, a place for learning, fun, and health. Undoubtedly, the knowledge of water safety lifesaving ability, and swim- ming skills learned in this pool will save lives and make available to many, who might have never enjoyed the sport, the exhilarating fun of swimming. We thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Davis, for this pool and the inspiration ol your faith in us. It was June of ’56 when the Charhian Staff sat down to outline the 1957 yearbook. First of many problems that arose was how the story of a year's events could best be related. The staff had a thousand watt inspiration. At least I thought so since it concerned me. After considerable discus- sion they petitioned me, Charlotte High School, to write their story for them. Wise kids, these, and I smiled inside. To be sure that the staff had thought the subject through, I asked them. “Why do you want a mass of metal, cold stone, and wood to tell such a warm human story?’’ “Cold stone and wood!” they cried indig- nantly. “We love you. To us you’re the best school in the world. You may not ‘live,’ in the usual sense of the word, but you are the only one who is in a position to see and understand us. The story of a school year is your story too, and you should be the one to tell it.” Reflecting on their sentiments, I con- sented. So here’s the 1956-57 story, as I see it more, feel its pulse, and know that this life is mine. I’d like to tell it chrono- logically, so that you can see a panorama of the events just as they happened. 0 o O 0 0 0 o o 0 t o o o o o o o The dance was over, homeward bound at last. It was a nice dance, lots of fun. Dances, parties, dates, all of these were an important part of school life. Before I plunge into the rest of this story, I’d like to present a little more detailed foreword. I suppose a lot of people think of a school as a place strictly for academic learning, but that isn’t so, at least not any more. Educa- tors believe that there is more to knowledge than an under- standing of the three R’s. Students need to know how to get along with other people and themselves. 6 Athletics—young men trained themselves to be physically coordinated, learned how to win and lose. For hours every night after school they work- ed to improve themselves. What they learned about cooperation, courage, and loyalty, were rewards that would last a lifetime. A club or class play is, for those who participate, and many do, an event never to be forgotten. To learn to know, understand, and act like a completely different person is a challenging and stimulating experience to be remembered a lifetime. Academic life to some students, per- haps, might be slightly de-emphasized, but it would always be the most important part of school. Here, was the greatest challenge, a challenge for teacher and for pupil. 9 c V � . — ■ Spring was here at last, well almost here. I wonder what it was about the fifty-five degree temperature—the same weather that would have sent people scurrying for warmth and shelter the fall before, that now caused stu- ents to venture coatless into the cold where they stood sniffing the air with a certain awe-inspired reaction? Per- haps spring was a fortune teller, telling of things past and exciting events to be. The past had meant a long winter of devotion to studies for some, of an attempt to get by for some, and of sticking to the grind for most. At times it was exciting when new truths were discovered and new facts learned. Always student and fellow students labored in like atmos- phere to make June be for them a time of accomplish- ment. For my underclassmen the spring meant complet- ing subjects and summarizing accomplishments. For my seniors these final events, recorded chrono- logically in the pages that follow by the Charhian staff, included the really big things of the year—Junior-Senior Prom, honor assembly, and graduation. Outside the cabin to show that ‘'crime didn’t pay,” gathered this sad group at the week’s end, for the last rites of their friend, bottom row: Marilyn Varner, Mary Esther King, Signia Young, Becky Ray; top row: Donis lauch, Mrs. Greer, advisor, Anita Brown, Jackie Pniden, Sue Staron. Service clubs In June, these girls, Judy Ster rett, Phyllis Van Vleck, Barbara Pickell, and Marie Archer, went to Girls’ State for a week packed full of learning and fun. The funda- mentals of government were taught to them by experience. backed students for summer camps Some students “played” more ser- ious roles by accepting the responsi- bilities and challenges of summer camps. These people would be more valuable leaders of school activities when they returned in the fall. Dennis Kloko and David Hoedeman, two of the represent- atives at Boys’ State, were buy- ing some new clothes at New- berry’s for their exciting and fun-filled week. This summer, these young men were chosen by the various service clubs to represent them at Boys’ State and Rotary Camp to learn how our government is run. Bottom row, left to right: Michael Reed and Ted Johnson were sent by the Rotary to Boys’ State: David Hoedeman was sent to Boys’ State by the Lions Club: Stanley Smith was sent to Boys’ State by the American Legion; Richard Wilkinson was sent by the Kiwanis to Boys’ State. Top row, left to right: Paul Kays was chosen by the J.C.C. to qo to Boys’ State; David Smith and Gary Carothers were picked by the Rotary Club to go to Rotary Camp; Charles Young went to Boys’ State and was sent by the Lions Club; Paul Potter was sent to Boys’ State by the American Legion; Dennis Kloko was chosen by the Kiwanis to go to Boys’ State. Demonstrating strokes and practicing them these six girls find the water extremely refreshing. Here’s where my story be- gan. “Kids” and “oldsters” alike were resting up from the “rigors” of winter work, swimming at the beaches, dancing at the tennis courts, loading up the family car, working at summer jobs, and traveling on the highways of America. One of the many pastimes enjoyed was her ever faithful Ford. Miss Al- fredson, my art teacher, made sure everything was in order for a week-end trip. One of the many pas- times enjoyed by every- one during the summer is swimming. This could be a picture of Duck Lake, Lake Michigan, or a lake anywhere in the United States. As the vacation season drew near, thoughts turned to trips. Donls, Doris, and Mrs. lauch liked the looks of the beautiful new Fords at VAN SICKLE ROWLAND FORD. 15 The Eaton County 4-H Fair gave all C.H.S. students a chance to see each other after a summer of separation and to discuss how much they were going to hate going back to school. The midway presented an interesting picture at night. Fair, football, and 4-H, last week’s fling Although thev’re just over the fence, the foot- ball players did- n’t have their minds on the fair; the first week of practice was a hard one. 16 With school days drawing near there was still time for the fun and excitement of the county fair. Many stu- dents were active contribu- tors and many more were exuberant funseekers daring the inventors to make a ride they couldn’t take. Oh ... . such is youth! 17 The new addition, “New” was the password for the first day of school; new faces, new teachers, and new friends crowded the halls which were shining in their fresh coats of wax and paint. The smell of wax filled the air; laughter rang once again through halls which had stood silent for three months, and the tension of doing new and different things filled the air. ■■■■■■■ Mr. Powell, hand director, in- spected the band room in the new addition as it neared completion. “Natatorium. Yes, that’s what you call a “fancy name for a swimming pool. It has been worth its full value and will be for many years to follow. No, I haven't blown my top . The roof just hasn’t been put on my new swimming pool. The week before school was probably the only time that the locker rooms were dry; after school started constant use kept them from beinn so. before, after, and This is just one of the new class rooms. All we need now are some chairs and students. “One, two, three, go.” They’re off and swimming. The swimming pool, one of the latest newcomers to Charlotte high, gave a much needed opportunity for instruction and experience in swimming. It s hard to visualize that soon were added to this scene, ranges, a dishwasher, a dutch oven, and a disposal. Students later learned to use the new cooking equipment to turn out foods with delicious odors to tantalize passersby. 19 during construction The pool was ready by last Fall and these workmen were partly responsible for meeting the dead- line. Educators prepared for returning scholars (Above) Mr. St. Johns, Mr. J. B. Smith, principal, Mr. King, and Mr. Bellinger were discussing problems that concerned activities of last Fall. (Below) The Board of Education consisted of Mrs. W. A. Vance, Mr. Clifford Smith, Mr. Clark Muma, Mr. William Otto, Mr. Harold Weaver, and Mr. Lyman Chamberlain, who carefully laid plans for a successful school year. 20 While the students were enjoying their last few days of “freedom,” reception com- mittees of faculty and janitors were pre- paring my “hallowed halls for returning scholars. 21 It felt good to be lived in again; the school, which had so long been like a tomb, again rang with 1 a u g h t er and the slamming of locker doors. The smiling faces and carefree laughter e x p r e s sed the hopes for a full and instructive year to come. After you finally figured out your com- bination, It was fun to see what surprises your locker held for you. Welcome back ’ school had started 22 Jack King and llene Rice left the bus well prepared for the first day of school with books and lunch. Joyce Ernsberger and Jim Roiter came to McNAMARA’S DRUG STORE for school supplies and became attracted by the fine disday of records. Lynn Smith, the Mayor, wel- comed the student body back and started the first day of school rolling. 23 Mr. Cronheim, eighth grade science teacher, performed one of his many “slightly messy” experiments for his science class. Mr. Flower spent most of the first day of class explaining some of the basic safety rules to be observed when using some of the highly complex machines. Miss Marx directed the girls’ physical education classes and G.A.A. Mr. Piersma, new in 1957, taught commercial subjects and expected to coach tennis in the spring. Mr. Engleman, Mechan- ical Drawing I and II teacher, looked over a blueprint prepared by one of his second year students. 24 Students and profs fl got acquainted The start of the fall term found Mr. Gobel busy with athletic work. Here he issued lockers to the football team. Mr. Strait, math and algebra teacher, looked on as his class began pre- paring their next day’s assignment. 25 Fall elections found fine officers The class officers for the twelfth grade were: President John Crissman, Vice President Karen Keehne, Secretary Joyce Ellison. Treasurer (not pictured) Eldon Wright. The eighth grade class officers are: Rickey Monger, President; Rocky Smith, Vice Presi- dent; Nancy Vaughn, Secretary; and David Tuckey, Treasurer. As different groups of students began to function as classes, they placed the responsibility of running their class in the hands of their elect- ed officers. From the twelfth grade to the eighth grade, the class officers made plans for the coming year; dances, parties, and financial affairs poured through the minds of these able students. 26 The Junior class officers are: David Myers, President; Signia Young, Secretary; Doris lauch, Treasurer; and Russell Barnhill, Vice President. The ninth grade class officers are: Morey Kayes. President; Kent Bostwick, Treasurer; Sue Parr, Secretary; and Jimmy Halbeisen, Vice President. The tenth grade class officers are: Rosalie Steffes, Secretary; Phil Masters, Vice Presi- dent: Karl Kardel, Treasurer; and Larry Tanner, President. Mr. Wotring and Paul Potter working together, and with the staff, made me extremely proud of being your school.

Plays, precision, Pedwins,” make top teams When autumn came, two hard working groups took the field to do the practicing necessary to make an un- defeated football team and a nationally recognized band. In the upper right hand corner, the band is in one of its many long hours of prac- tice. Under the direction of Mr. Powell, this organization, with its unusual and interest- ing halftime show, provided extra pleasure for the foot- ball fans. On the opposite page an action shot of the Hastings game shows Bob Bemis (75), who threw the initial block that let Gene Montgomery (48), gain yardage, making the difference between a win and a loss. A strong mind and body seem to be the values re- ceived from hard work. Congratulations to the Seniors from “MURRAY CART' RIGHT SHOES” located between the banks. Seventh graders spent The big event of the seventh grade was its trip to Yankee Springs Camp. There, the students learned to co-operate, to live out of doors, and to become more acquainted with the teachers. The seventh graders, having oc- cupied the new addition to the high school, had at their disposal more opportunities and advantages than they had had in the old seventh grade classrooms. Being together in the same building for the first time, they became more united as a class. i? -v -V Chuck Walter Wilma Atkins Arnst Baas Douglas Marcia Tommy Bob Nancy John Badgley Baird Barrett Betts Bird Bly Joe Mary Jane Terry Wayne Arthur Donna Doras Jim Don Boyer Brandon Brickley Brown Bryan Bush Bush Butler Carr Judy Jane Judy Bob Janice Dorothy LaVern Carol Ann Patricia Case Cheney Childs Coffey Cole Collins Cook Coplin Cotton 32 marvelous week at camp (Left) The small group that Mrs. Fisher was In charge of had a lot of fun on their nature hikes.

Coach Henry “Hank” Jarabek entered his fourth season this year of coaching C.H.S. Harriers. With one returning letterman, his team spent the season gaining experi- ence. They won two of their five dual meets, both from St. Johns. They attended two invitational meets, at Hastings and Albion. The team placed third in the Capital Circuit and fourth in the Regional. Arnie Martinez, a Junior, had the best running time of 11:05 for a two mile course. Lind Samis had the next best time of 11:08. Running third was Rodney Rodgers with 11:14. Next year Coach Jarabek is looking for- ward to a better season as he will have five returning lettermen. Bottom row: R. Barnard. A. Martinez, L. Samia, J. Smith. Top row: Coach Henry Jarabek, R.

The eighth graders had many things to look forward to, for they were on the threshold of their four high school years. The advice of the teachers helped the students to be- gin thinking about their careers or professions. This line was very familiar to everyone who had his picture taken.

Coach, Walter Wilson's careful observations helped the “Little Orioles” to have a winning season. 46 Little Orioles won mythical crown Coach Elmer Rose, a graduate of Olivet College, gave a fine performance his first year in Charlotte as Junior Varsity coach. His team won six of their eight games. Walter Wilson, assistant coach for the past three years, helped by coaching the Little Oriole linemen. Losing the first game of the season to Nashville by one point, (14-13), the J.V. team went on to win six out of the next seven games. The Little Orioles beat all of the Capital Circuit J.V. teams they played: Holt, Grand Ledge, Mason, and Eaton Rapids. Coach Rose devised new strategy to win over Grand Ledge 20 19. Bottom row: J.

Upon their shoulders fell the respon- sibilities of running a large school plant. Reflected in the administration of the Char- lotte schools is the fair play and sound busi- ness and management practices that have made the Charlotte public school system one of the most outstanding in this area. Keeping the superintendent’s office in order were Mrs. Fisher and Mr. Kennan.

The coronation of the Queens took p’ace during the halftime ceremonies of the Eaton Rapids-Charlotte football game. Each queen selected from her class an escort. John Crissman, Senior; Jack Smith, Junior; David Papoi, Sophomore; Jerry Fox, Freshman; and Jim Roiter, Eighth Grade, were chosen. The Senior Class and the Student Council worked together in sponsoring the dance after the game, which over 500 students and alumni attended. During the half of the Eaton Rapids-Charlotte football game, John Crissman, Senior Class Pres- ident, crowned Queen Barbara with the help of crown bearer Barbara Putman. 49 Cheerleaders prophesy funeral for failing Greyhounds f Mr. Eaton Rapids hung in the C.H.S. study hall reminding stu- dents to back-up the team at the game.

After attending a Cheerleaders camp at Walden Woods, Hartland, Michigan, and a convention at Jack- son the squad returned with new cheers and revisions for old on,es, to add spice to the school spirit. To Miss Marx, their advisor, and the cheerleaders should go a vote of thanks from the teams and student body. Julie Sassaman, served well as a substitute. At 3:30 the students poured out of their class to follow the pep band to the auditorium for the Eaton Rapids pep rally. 50 Barb Carr, Homecoming Queen, laid a C.H.8. pom-pom on “Mr. Eaton Rapit”’ grave as Julie Ster- rett (left), and Penny Francis (right), do the mock mourning.

Under Coaches Malcolm Gobel and Dallas Stall the Charlotte Orioles won the Capital Circuit title. This combination has been coaching Oriole teams since 1946, and has the record of 59 won, 25 lost, and 5 tied. This year the team had an eight game, undefeated season. Mr. Gobel’s backfield scored 175 points, and made a total yardage of slightly less than a mile and a half. Coach Stall’s line held their opponents to a total of 50 points and about an eighth (1004 ft.) of our yardage. Charlotte’s co-captains were chosen to the All-state Class B team. Lee Hall, who was the starting right tackle, was given a first team berth. He also kicked the extra points making 19 of 25. Tom Dewey was given honorabe mention for the second year in a row.

Striving always to do their best, these students had excelled in making their organizations, and Char- lotte High School as a whole, widely known and resnected throughout Michigan.

Band members enjoyed themselves with jokes, talking, and the delicious dinner (soon to be served). The football boys, David Myers, Jim Fletcher, Tom Dewey, and Coach Stall, Illustrated that they had appetites to match their abilities. 54 Halloween was fun Whether they wore costumes or ordinary dress, everyone had fun at the annual Halloween dance which was sponsored by the Junior Chamber of Com mecce These squaws, Dixie Houghton and Tina Moore, had a “heap good time” at the Halloween dance, and they won third place for their costumes too. 55 But winter brought more than just physical changes. The other changes possibly weren’t as dynamic or dramatic, but to me they were more gratifying. For, of those thousand students who had walked so haphazardly to school three months before, a large majority had found a definite reward for their efforts. I can’t begin to list the tremendous range of these rewards, but suffice it to say that they range from meet- ing a new friend, through academic achievement, to being elected class president. A lot of things had happened, and best of all, my students were growing, physically, mentally, and emotionally. You’ll be interested to note how busy everyone is from now on to the end of the year. That’s one more reason I like recording events in the order in which they happen; it gives some idea of what a busy and sometimes confused life those school people lead. The crisp bright days of fall became colder and colder. And then one day pupils looked out my windows and beheld the first flakes of snow drifting reluctantly to the ground. This sight immediately brought general exclamations which succeeded in disturbing many a class. Teach- ers quietly asked distracted students if this was the first snowfall they had ever seen. After this statement, often as not, the teacher would lean back in his chair and stare thoughtfully at the descending swirls. No, to look at them and the hypnotic effect of a few frozen bits of water vapor, you’d think that no one in Michigan had ever seen snow. Of course, I thought I looked quite handsome in my tailormade white dinner jacket which was so well designed that it often brought admiring comments from passers-by. But, after the first few lacy flakes, there were the more practical problems, such as: shoveling cars out of snowdrifts, clean- ing walks, caring for the ice rink, throwing snowballs, and thawing out after a brisk walk. 57 Mr. Bogner, Mrs. Perlot, and Mis9 Wick talked over the problems that confront language teachers. Teachers, Students greatest blessing Mrs. Petersen Tucker who was one of the new teachers at C.H.S. had a full schedule of eighth grade English. 58 Hidden by the jokes and snide remarks was a deep respect for the high school teachers. All the stu- dents realized that a school, no mat- ter how large, modern or imposing, would be nothing without a good faculty. Charlotte High School is doubly blessed with a modern, up-to- date building, and an excellent and exceptional faculty.

Seitz, Marion Marsh, Vicke Preston, Sue I SPEAK FOR DEMOCRACY “As I look out over the bay through the mist on a cold, crisp day, I wonder and think of what I have symbolized for millions of American and foreign people. Is it liberty? Is it freedom? Is it peace? Is it democracy? Yes, I have stood for all of these things and many more. I am the symbol of the American heritage. On my head I wear a crown with seven rays, each pointing toward the sky. Each one of my rays symbolizes a part of the democracy I stand for. My first ray is symbolic of our freedom to travel. I have seen visitors from Alaska to Mexicio and from almost every country, but v.he happy and free people are the ones from a democracy. My second ray symbolizes the freedom of worship. Our church doors are open and ready for any person who wishes to enter. Have you ever stopped to think as you entered the door of a school what a wonderful privilege we have? The freedom of education is my third ray. 1st place. The freedom of press is my fourth ray. We can have almost any- thing we wish printed in the papers. We have many different ways of communicating with other people. Communication is my fifth ray. My sixth ray is the freedom of speech. We, as members of a democ- racy, can make speeches on radio or in front of a group of people and express our own thoughts. Freedom of speech is very important in my democracy. My last ray is represented by the privilege we have in our homes. No one may enter our homes without a search warrant. In our homes we can depend on having enough to eat. You might have guessed who I am because my torch towers over my head as a symbol of my seven rays combined. I am the Statue of Liberty and I stand for peace: I stand for freedom; I stand for liberty. Yes, I stand for democracy in the free United States of America.” Sines they had frequently been in the library seeking information the Charhian Staff thought it would be the ideal place to ha«e the winners’ pictures taken. Art Mikesell, fourth place; Shelby Yerkes, second place; Shirley White, sixth place; Marie Archer, fifth place; and Richard Wilkinson, third place. 62 Turkey sandwiches and worn-out socks invariably re- minded nostalgic students of the fun they had at the Tur- key Trot.

This scene in the St. Mary’s Churchyard was a beautiful reminder of the rea meaning of Christmas. Faith played a big part in the student’s life during the Yule tide and all through the year. 73 Happy New Year! Happy Birthday!

Leila Gene Cooley and Philip Haysmer trying to free themselves from the confetti •treat deal of fun but little success. 74 Chuck Noah, had a Ring out the old, ring in the new. As the confetti flew and the bells rang out every- one paused to make his resolutions for the coming year; for students it probably meant a resolution to try harder to avail themselves of the opportunities that are of- fered at Charlotte High School, not only in facilities, but also in teachers, courses, and opportunities for self ex- pression. Jerry Michael and Bob Fisher looked over some games at Behrens Rowe’s for their New Year’s Eve party, as Mr. Rowe looks on. Luada Wythe and Joanne Van Goethem were buying formals at RICHEY'S, on Main Street, fnr a New Year’s party. 75 Just as a rise in city taxes or the election of a new mayor affected our lives, so did the events of the world. The free world was jolted into re- alizing the true picture of Commu- nism, and Britain and France were strangled by a lack of oil; all these events greatly altered our lives. President Eisenhower was re- elected U. S. chief executive by a landslide.

S. movie queen, Grace Kelly, and Prince Rainier of Monaco were united in marriage in a beautiful ceremony. Michigan undertook construction of the world's largest bridge, which will connect the lower and upper peninsulas. Probably many of us and our children will never have the thrill of riding the ferry. As the clock ticked away the last few minutes of the life of 1956, vague visions of the year’s happenings clouded our minds. Things which af- fected our lives filled our minds, and with the smallness of the world, these happenings were numerous. New classrooms made study fun Rooms like these were scattered throughout the new part of the building. The new home-ec. kitchen proved to be an inviting place for the girls to cook. In the new band room, Mr. Powell, band director, stopped the band to explain a measure in the piece that was played at the Dis- trict Band Contest. 80 Library Club and library flourished Helping themselves and others, the Li- brary Club was con- sidered as one of the indispensable organs of the high school. This group was al- ways ready to extend a helping hand to those seeking use of the facilities of the library. Under the confident supervision of Mrs. Iauch both the library and the Libra- ry Club flourished. While they gave a helping hand in the library, the librarians enriched their lives with a thorough un- derstanding of the workings of the li- brary.

While semester exams were an exasperation to some, many faced them with the knowledge that they had a semester of hard work and sound instruction behind them. For most students, exams meant an amount of reveiw; for the teachers, a day of correcting exams.

Gary Carothers was elected by the student body as the first judge in C.H.S. history. He chose as his recorder, Judy Marlowe. Meeting every Mon- day at different hours, the court tried those people who committed misdemeanors during school hours. These people, if found guilty by a jury of students, were given penalties such as writing themes, keeping the school clean, and being barred from school functions. For wrestling in the hall Dave Love had to write a two-page essay. 93 Freshmen enjoyed new variety of classes President Morey Kays conducted many class meetings such as this to organize the class for the year. The Freshmen had many oppor- tunities to look forward to, and dur- ing that year, they started to think about their careers.

N. drew young people with new ideas The Model United Nations, which convened at Hillsdale, was attended by six Charlotte students. This ac- tivity gave a few students a chance to take part in a United Nations ses- sion in which the different schools represented different countries. These students, through this activity, gained an idea of the workings of this world body, and in turn they brought back these ideas to the students of their respective schools where their experiences were bene- ficial to all their fellow students. Selected from the senior class to attend M. U. N. were: On the left, Paul Potter, Denny Kloko, and Sue Elies. On the right, selections from the junior class were Judy Thurow, Dan Carpenter, and Dave Myers. The students manage their own meetings at M. U. N. Here they are electing the President of the General Assembly and the rapporteurs for the committee sessions. Each candidate made a one- minute speech telling why he wanted the office. Every school represented a country at M. U. N. and every student spoke up for what his country stood for. 102 Lentin services high spot of year for Bible Club Bottom � cw: Miss Sanders; President Vesta Bracy; Vice President Jerry Weils; Secretary Catherine Sargent; Treasurer Marylee Wells; Song, lender Darrell Clements; Pianist Mary Esther King.

Crops were harvested and some fall plowing had been done. The grand drape on summer’s stage was slowly “ringing down.” Scenes of recreation areas, of resorts, and of vacations were being stored away in memories to be brought back only for brief moments in conversation around the fall campfire after a hayride. Fall came slowly and my “kids,” reluctantly at first, turned their minds like the changing seasons to other things: like fall clothes, old and new friends, and yes, even books. The first day of school was “orderly confusion.” Be- tween hurried and happy hello’s students always went speed- ily from one scheduled task to another—some bouncing, some scurrying, some even scooting. Registering, renting lockers, buying books, and attend- ing a full schedule of classes were tasks all packed into that nine o’clock to three-thirty Tuesday. Things had set- tled down by the next day and the school year had begun. When I was a young school building I was sure that youth’s exhuberance would become very tiring in a short time. After twenty-one years I have discovered that youth- ful zest for life is much like a dangerous germ. Modern technology, psychology, and medical science have neither the ability nor the will to discover a preventative for this germ. People have a way of transmitting this disease from one to another and some who are unaware of their infection are quite happily swept along in the current of fast chang- ing moods and emotions which are symptoms of the sickness. I strongly suspect that teachers have been badly bitten by the bug and therefore choose to identify themselves with this troubling bubbling group of young people. I see this book, then, as telling the story of CHS youth just as it happened to them, through one year of this joyful epidemic, from the opening day of school till gradu- ation. Naturally enough, I want to begin with the fall and end with the highpoint of the year in the spring. I realize that this isn’t the normal way for telling the story in a year book, but I hope you’ll like my method—because it is different. Reigning over the 1957 Journalism Carnival were Penny Franci ., Queen, and Eldon Wright, King. The Queen and King's court members were Jon Callender, Barb Chamberlain, Stanley Wheaton, Rosalie Stctfes, Rocky Smith, Bonnie Brandon, Bob Rowe, and Donna Bush. Beautiful, biggest, and best Carnival held Russell Barnhill made the girls sigh when he sang Old Shep during the main show. Some of the men teachers gave the students a chance for re- venge. Mr. Stall was waiting for the wet sponge at one of the con- cessions at the Journalism carnival. Bottom row: Phyllis Van Vleck, Eleaine Hine. Joy Smith, and Judy Marlowe, president.

With 20 players and 6 re- turning letter men to give experience the C.H.S. base- ball team looked forward to a good season. Last year the team came in 2nd behind the Mason Bulldogs. With a new batting machine Coach Stall hoped to improve the Oriole batting. For the first time in three years Coach Stall entered the team in a tournament at Battle Creek. A Bottom row: N. Wenger, T.

Coach Gobel, who has coach- ed track for 22 years at Char- lotte, said, “In a couple of years we will be strong again.” There were six returning letter winners: Dick Rohlfs, David Myers, Rodney Rogers, Rob Bemis, Barry Class, and Arnie Martinez. Coach Gobel gave Barry Class a few starting pointers that shaved seconds off his time. 109 Organizations dedicated to the future The Future Farmers of America, through their many activities, gave prospective farmers a chance to study and analyze farming systems and methods. Projects and field trips gave these stu- dents a chance to see and be- come acquainted with prac- tical applications of farming methods and ideas. At Fowler’s, the Chev- rolet and Oldsmoblle dealer In Charlotte, Ken Briggs, John Scheib and Buddy Rhines looked over the 1957 Chevrolet. “What a car!” seemed to be their general consension.

Allan Up- right is rising for “Questions” dur- ing one of the meetings. Student coun- cils from schools in the capitoi cir- cuit met at C.H.8. to discuss student courts, assem- blies, activities, and get new Ideas on how to handle general high school prob- lems.

This team was expected to have a good year. Other members of the team were: Fresh- men Herb Black and Doug Kahl; Sophomore Jack Ix ng; Juniors, Les- ter Myers, Bill Lundeen, and Jerry Wells, missing from the picture. 118 Coach Lane had to remind John Sterrett to always keep his eye on the ball. J. V.’s unbeaten in ’56, expected tough season With a turnout of thirty, Coach Elmer Rose wished for a good season. Last year the J.V.’s went undefeated in six games.

The girls looked over some of the many bargains at Carter's Foodliner and settled on these things which were just what they wanted for their lunch. The high quality and standard of music set by the band in Michigan had made them a nationally known group which again filled the auditorium to capacity with music lovers. The house lights dimmed, the curtain opened, and the director, Mr. Robert Powell, took the stand; the band snapped to atten- tion, and the audience settled back for an evening of enjoyment. The Band Bounce, which was probably the best attended af- fair in Charlotte, symbolized the high re- gard in which the band was held by the citizens of this community. , Harshey, Sandra Anderson, Sally Carothers, Siflnia Young, Charlotte alette Rose, Ellen Fenn, Lois Saums, Sally Lange.

Field trips presented many opportunities for students of Charlotte High School to in- crease the fullness of their courses. Many of the teach- ers felt that field trips were an opportunity for the added advantage of on the spot ex- perience. Whether in history, biology, or agriculture, many advantages can be derived from a field trip. On the return trip the busses turned the corner from Bostwick onto Lawrence and the biology students were interested in the steady business of the neat COMMUNITY OIL STATION which was conveniently located there.

The Vaudviilens, established to give a chance for the use of talents in not only acting, but also in such things as dancing and music, offered many opportunities for expression in these fields. Under the guidance of Mr. Bartlett, this new group pro- vided enjoyment for others, and gave themselves an opportunity to express their talents. Bottom row: Mary Jean Martens, Joyce Stall, Ann Clements. Top row: Judy Thurow, and Mr. Bartlett, advisor, were planning for the forensic contests which the Vaudevillens sponsored in the spring. Vaudevillens, Judy and John Thurow, liked to eat at DICK’S RESTAU- RANT on the corner of Washington Street and Lawrence Avenue. They were served by Rose Ann Flath. At the cash regis ter Carol Jean Leik and Carol Clever recorded a sale. 124 Hard work in class- es and loyalty to their departments and clubs brought well deserved recognition to these students selected by their fellow students and faculty in the spring of 1957. These awards were given at the Honor Assembly which rep- resented one of the most exciting events of the year since the r e c i p i e nts’ names were not revealed un- til the actual presen- tation of awards.

Popular periodicals, play, and prom kept Juniors busy The Junior class had a very suc- cessful and profitable year, for there were many projects which kept them busy. The year started with the Junior Magazine Sale, which increas- ed their treasury for the prom in the spring. Under the able direction of Mr. Wotring, the annual Junior Play was added to the list of great C.H.S. productions. And, of course, the Junior-Senior Prom was the high- light of the year. The Junior class presented “The Fool” by Channlng Pollock. “When you worked, you had enough to eat didn’t you?” Robert Adams Sara Alcantar Darlene Baker David Barnaby Russ Barnhill Martha Bartlett Ken Baxter Bob Eleanor Bemis Bennett Judy Karen Irene Vesta Sally Carroll Sharon Joy Judy Bennett Bonham Bowman Bracy Brandon Briggs Brown Brummette Bryan Dan Mary Anne Merry Sue Ted Bucky Ann Carol Carpenter Carr Catron Chamberlain Chamberlain Claflin Clark Clement� Clever Philip Cecil Gene Marian Rosemary Larry Bev Doug Harold Conklin Cook Cooley Copenhaver Cotsman Davis DeFrates DeFrates DeHaven 126 Mary Jack Carole Dornan Emery Ernsberger Leroy Jim Karl Fetterman Fletcher Forell JoAnn Judie John Fox Francis Freeman Jerry Mike Archie Sharon Phillis Stella Paul John Dennis Fuller Garvey Gonser Goodrich Granger Gregg Haist Haley Hall Gary Halsey Joann Hamilton Kenneth Mary Anne Dale Harris Healey Hice Elaine Mary Earl Sharon Hine Hollandsworth Hooghouse Housler Judie Steve Doris Dick Hunter Hyde lauch Johnson Erwin Sandy Betty Phyllis Doyal Jones Kane Kelley Kilpatrick Kimmell Bob Dianne Jack Kimmel King King Jerry Goodkind, Dave Myers scorns Daniel Gilchrist, Dan Margaret Roger Linda Carpenter, for living a life like Christ.

In it the important events which happened between spring vacation and graduation, for the first time became part of the annual. Many answered call Unbeaten in ’56 Dropped one in '57 With the first touch of spring in the air, notices began to appear on the bulletin boards encouraging interested boys to join spring sports teams. Though these sports did not offer the spectator appeal of foot- ball and basketball, more boys participated than at any other time of year. J.V.

The team completed one of the best years In Its excellent history. Just barely clearing the bar, a CHS pole vaulter kept in the running. Anxiously watching Coach Lane add up the scores are Doug Kahl, John Sterrett, Jack Long, Herb Black, Dick McKenzie, and Bill Lundeen.

Oriole sluggers found that their winning ability came in streaks, and that they couldn’t quite sustain their drives long enough to bring home a title. Two games were lost in extra innings and a total of three games were lost by one run. The season was a rugged one, and occa- sionally, as Mr. Stall so aptly put it, “Times were tough.” Coach Stall watched his team in action as weeks of training were put to the acid I ■ test. • • • 31 most VARSITY BASEBALL SCHEDULE April 9 Everett 1 CHS 9 May 3 Everett 5 CHS 4 April 17 Eaton Rapids 2 CHS 4 May 7 Eaton Rapids 6 CHS 13 April 18 Holt 1 CHS 11 May 14 Holt 0 CHS 4 April 23 Howell 6 CHS 3 May 20 Howell 4 CHS 5 April 26 Mason 1 CHS 0 May 21 Mason 2 CHS 1 April 30 Grand Ledge 11 CHS 5 May 24 Grand Ledge 6 CHS 4 Jim Fletcher (left) flashed many a sign to Charlotte pitchers during the course of the season. Tom Dewey (right), when he wasn’t pitching, played third even though it was necessary to watch an opponent legging it for home on occasions. 4 Oriole speed-merchants turned out an impressive record of victories during the ’57 season. They came within four and one-half points of snagging first place in the Capital Circuit but had to be satisfied with second place. Rodney Rodgers beat his own high jump record setting a new school record, and in the .John Rob Relays, Rodney Rodgers, Greg Allen Dave Myers, and John Criss- man teamed up to set a new track record in the Shuttle Hurdles. The track season could certainly be termed a success. Rodney Rodgers did a lot of valuable running and jumping for Charlotte’s track team during the spring of ’57. . . . but not quite . . . Track provided a rigid test of each man's endurance, both physical and mental. Two good examples of this were (left) Arnie Martinez, who struck grimly to the lead man in the mile run, and (right) Dave Myers, who poured his last ounce of energy into a winning effort In 440, collapsing as he finished. Eclipsed at Holland Other band activities Events during the month of May kept the band active right up to the time of graduation. Cold windy weather put the damper on for many of the social activities when the band was enter- tained May 3, by the members of the Ludington high school band. Friday night’s exchange concert was a suc- cess but the beach parties had to be officially called off. Unofficially, some nearly froze. Weather for the picnic on Saturday was somewhat more cooperative. At the Holland Tulip Festival on May 18, competition was stiffer than usual because the band was entered in Class A for the first time. Never- theless, perfection, as always, earned them a first division. ‘ ten ... shun. We’re ready for inspec- tion, sir.” And so it was at the Holland Tulip Festival. Majorettes Judy Bennett, Barb Car r, Rosalie Steffes, and Drum Major Denny Kloko set the pattern for the high stepping Oriole band. A Rec” staff planned Busy summer Recreation director, Mr. Eldred Toutant had to start early in the second semester to plan for an ex- tensive summer recreation program which seemed to get bigger and better each year. This community project began June 10 and concluded August 2. Year by year there has been in- creased interest in tennis and golf, and this year instruction in these two areas was given before school was out. Ranging from kindergarteners to adults, people participated in softball, swimming, tennis, golf, teen-age dances, afternoon playground activ- ities for grade school children and even a summer reading nrogram. These activities are administered by a recreation council, thirteen paid staff members and a host of volun- teer leaders. “The stroke and the follow through are Important to your success as a tennis player,” Mr. Robert Piersma explained to Susan Dygart, Doras Bush, and Joy Lee M o rto n Margaret Frey, Nancy Gobel, Ann Day, Barbara Lavengood, Bob Fisher, Loy Nash. David Fahner, Clifford Smith, Tom Pabst. Victor Cook, Marsha Jones, and Mary Marten, got an early start on the summer recreation program by receiving instruction from Mr. Robert Engelman. Barnhill and Bennett sweep elections By using the voting machines-for the election, the results could be determined much sooner. Nearly ninety per cent of the students turned out for the election. The election for mayor and secretary was a very exciting part of the school year. For about three weeks some of the best signs and posters the school had ever seen were all over the hallways. The primaries started the real campaign- ing and there, Dave Myers and Russ Barnhill defeated Dianne King and Alan Upright for the race to the mayor’s position. The caucus, where all the candidates and their supporters expressed their views on school government was enjoyed by everyone. The next day Russ Barnhill defeated Dave Myers to become the new mayor of Char- lotte High School. In the race for secretary, both Judy Overmyer and Bev Pickell were defeated by Judy Bennett. The new mayor of Charlotte High School, Russ Barnhill and his campaign manager, Dan Carpenter, saw their efforts end in victory. Judy Bennett, the new secretary of C.H.S.. and her campaign manager, Marian Whitinger, had many things to plan for their cam- paign. Below is the chorus they used in the caucus. Bev. Picked, center, seemed to be very busy planning her campaign with her managers, Cathy Atkins and Barb Picked. Candidate Dave and his campaign manager, Chuck Huber, were doing some last minute planning for the caucus when this picture was snapped. The largest campaign sign In the history of the school belonged to Dave Myers. This sign was two and a half stories long and had over seven hundred students’ names on it. Fred Hooghouse Under the direction of Mr. Darrell Cook assisted by David Lahr, the chorus and its accompanist, Mrs. Lyman Chamberlain, presented in the best tradition of light opera the ever delightful H. M. S. Pinafore by Gilbert and Sullivan, on May 24 in the high school auditorium. H. M. S. Pinafore Lives up to tradition CAST Sir Joseph Porter ..................... Arthur Mikesell Capt.

Facing reality, Josephine, the captain’s daughter, agreed that she could not marry Ralph because he was only a common sea- man. Little Buttercup saved the day by baring the secret that she made a mistake 10 . . to be here dedicated to the unfinished task . . . Many changes have been wrought during the 181 years since the na- tion was “conceived in liberty” to 1957 when the United States Su- preme Court reaffirmed “the propo- sition that all men are created equal.” It was fitting that a young man should have the opportunity to re- mind the community by reciting the Gettysburg Address at Memorial Day services that protecting freedom remains an unfinished task. Perhaps it was significant that President Eisenhower, who worked hard for civil rights, selected a farm home near Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. David Smith knew the seriousness of Abraham Lincoln's immortal words as they were spoken at the dedication of the cemetery at Gettysburg. 11 It looks like the camera man may have caught Toastmaster, Bill Wall hatching up a joke with Russ Barnhill; they were notorious” for such things. Others at this end of the head table were Rev. Varner, Mr. Eugene Strait, Juniod class advisor, and Mrs. Strait, and Mr. Don Smith, Senior class advisor. PROGRAMME Invocation - Rev. B. Varner Master of Ceremonies - - Bill Wall Welcome - - Russ Barnhill Response - - Mike Reed Speaker - Rev. P. Glotfelty Benediction - Rev. B. Varner Life was gay In Shangri-La Delicious food, pretty girls, hand- some fellows, and interesting enter- tainment all added up to the Junior- Senior banquet and dance given an- nually by the Juniors in honor of the Seniors. After the banquet at the Masonic Temple, everyone went back to the school gym where an exotic oriental theme was complemented by the smooth strains of Bernie Cummins' band. Refreshments were served to the already overstuffed people, and everyone thought they would bust”! 12 “Look! There are really fish in the pool!” exclaimed Cathy Atkins to Anselmo Rodriguez at the prom. Behind them can be seen the pagoda, part of the prom's decorations. All the committees were satisfied that this prom was the best ever. Even after the prom some found fun in wiener roasts, open houses and early, early morning breakfasts. David Myers. Junior class president, and John Crissman, Senior class president, gave the words of Rev. Philip Glotfelty, the banquet speaker, the serious thought they deserved. Mike Reed, who gave the speech of response at the banquet, switched from formal clothes and speeches to casuals and wiener sticks. Gary Carothers. Ingrid Stein, and Mary Carr, who have changed their formal attire also, hope that the sticks meet with Mike's approval. 13 Seniors sent forth with God s blessing Faith and religion being integral parts of the American way of life, graduation week began, as was the custom, with the Baccalaureate Service. Dr. M. Putnam McKay, Th.D., vicar of the Episcopal church, conducted the service and delivered the sermon entitled, “Pure Religion.” On this Sunday evening, June 2, 1957, the Seniors were escorted into the high school auditorium, where the Bible Club had arranged an altar, candles, and flowers, by Juniors: Signia Young, Russell Barnhill, Doris Iauch and David Myers, class of- ficers. An amused Senator Potter (seated at he center) had cause for his levity—this as a grand night for the Smiths. Prin- ipal John B. Smith (seated at the left) matched Mr. Clifford Smith, President of he Board of Education, present his son, )avid, with his diploma. Following were Uoria Baker Smith, Lynn Smith and itan Smith (not pictured). Potter proposed Atoms for peace Graduation, June 6, 1957, climaxed four short years of high school. Giv- ing an important address on the peaceful use of atomic energy, the Honorable Charles Potter, Michigan senator, let the Seniors, their rela- tives and friends know their respon- sibilities in a new and exciting world. On the next and last page of this supplement appear the names of the merchants who congratulated the graduates and helped to make this addendum to the yearbook possible. The Charhian staff thanks them. When this last page is closed and made part of the 1957 Charhian. Editor Paul Potter and the staff will have said good-bye to a happy, fruit- ful, and eventful year. This book began with a dedication to two fine Godfearing people, Mr. and Mrs. Dorr Davis, and ended with the hopes of Senator Potter that atoms would be used for peace. This then was the warm human story told by the school in which most of these events took place. They shook hands, Superintendent Clark Muma and Senator Charles Potter, and were glad that the busy senator could come to Charlotte to participate in the 1957 graduation exercises. The high school athletic field took on a note of beauty and dignity for this occasion. Girls in the concert band wore formals and the boys wore white dinner jackets; semi-formally dressed Juniors sat behind the Seniors in their traditional blue caps and gowns. Paul Potter, Charles Porter, Larry Lowe. Stan Smith, Mike Reed and Gary Carothers. all honor students, have re- linquished their caps and gowns and retained only the white tassels and diplomas as mementos and well deserved certificates of their achievements. Other members of their class similarly bid adieu to CHS.
