THE 1961 CHARHIAN V EDITOR.................................................................Ron Johnson BUSINESS MANAGER..............................................Sue Hutchens ADVISOR.................................................. Cynthia Mitchell PRESENTS A YEAR IN CHARLOTTE HIGH Charlotte, Michigan . ... Its Friendliness .... ----Activities.... .... And New Ideas .... SCHOOL THESE ARE THE ACTIVITIES Throughout the school year at Charlotte High School, every student had the opportunity to participate in numerous activities. Whether he was a seventh grader or a senior, he soon found that he could keep himself busy with extracurricular events. For instance, there were the seventh and eighth grade dances and parties for the Junior High students. For the Senior High there were various clubs, the football and basketball homecomings, the Junior Play, and the Junior-Senior Prom. During the noon hour students could dance in the girls' gym, play a rough game of basketball in the boys' gym, tangle in a battle of wits in a chess game, or join in on a fast paced ping pong game in the study hall. No student ever needed to feel there was nothing to do. All he had to do was Ipok around, and he would find a multitude of activities to enter into. 5 THIS IS THE FRIENDLINESS Charlotte High School was considered to be a very friendly school by all who entered its doors. New students who came to C.H.S. found it easy to get acquainted with the student body and teachers. The student body was always ready and willing to make friends with these new students and help them to feel right at home. The teachers would give individual in- struction to new and old students alike, helping them with any problem they had in their particular classes. There was always a spirit of friendliness in the extracurricular activities. It was present at all our athletic events. There was a determination to win, but there was also a feeling of friend- liness toward our rivals, win or lose. Our school supported friendlier relationships between the various other schools in our league by taking part in the Inter-league Student Council meet- ings. The spirit of friendliness at our assemblies and special programs was deeply appreciated by the guest speakers. There was also a deep feeling of friendliness among the students towards each other. It was evident in the halls, club meetings, and in general throughout the school building wherever students were present. The administration, the teachers, and the student body, all had a part in giving C.H.S. the reputation of being a friendly school. 7 Every year Charlotte High School has sought for new ideas and new activities. For several years, the high school has had a new scheduling system, having five seventy minute classes, four a day, to provide more uninterrupted class time. Also, this school was one of the first of its size to have a completely equipped indoor swimming pool. This year is no exception to the past. The Charlotte High School had a large part in helping out with the National Emergency Alarm Repeater (NEAR) Tests. Two other firsts for this year were the addition of stu- dent bowling leagues in the athletic program and the early morning classes held at 7:30 A.M. This high school has progressed with new ideas in the past, in the present, and will continue on in the future. TABLE OF CONTENTS ACADEMIC . .Page 12 to 45 SCHOOL LIFE . . Page 46 to 79 ATHLETICS .

Although Mr. Westaway taught chemistry and science at Char- lotte High School for only two years, he made many friends among the students and the teachers. His interest in the stu- dent body was both professional and personal. He was sincere, understanding, and Concerned for the student and his welfare. Mr. Westaway was also inter- ested in the welfare of the faculty, being active in the Mich- igan Education Association and serving as treasurer of the Char- lotte Education Association. He will long be remembered by the students and faculty of Char- lotte High School for his humor, his friendliness, and his efforts to encourage and instruct others. 11 12 .... THE ACADEMIC ACTIV The high academic standards set by the administration are constantly maintained by each class as is evidenced by the large numbers in the graduating classes of Char- lotte High School. The quintessence of our school, administrators, faculty, office staff, cooks, custodians, and bus drivers, help to achieve a school life that is pleasant as well as educational. Through the co-or- dinated efforts of these people, we find that Charlotte High School transforms cap- able students into responsible and intelligent young adults who are ready to face the realities of maintaining our democracy. If School And Community Unite The Board of Education had many duties, which included the hiring of teachers, providing enough school mate- rials for the year, determining the cur- riculum and securing funds for the educational program. The members of the board were pres- ident, Frank Morgan; secretary, Bart Rypstra; treasurer, Lyman Chamberlain; trustee, Harold Weaver; trustee, Sam Combs; trustee. Bud Squibb; trustee, Bruce Bryan; and superintendent, Clark Muma. Our Educational Leaders MR. JOHN B. SMITH University of Michigan, M.A. Eastern Michigan University Principal MR. JARVIS C.

Our office staff kept busy registering students and scheduling classes. Effi- ciently, they kept financial records for clubs and school activities besides running the book store. They helped the teachers and students by dupli- cating materials and co-operating when needed. The cooks of Charlotte High School gave the students of CHS well-balanced meals every day with a wide variety of foods. They started early every morning, preparing the lunches for the students and teachers, and after the lunch hour was over, they washed dishes and cleaned up the kitchen. COOKS: Blanche Stevens, Arabel Krebs. Missing from the picture are Marjorie Saurer, Irene Smith. Are Rendered By These People The bus drivers ran their routes faithfully every morning and night. They also helped out in the transporting of football and basketball players, students, and the band to and from games. They helped out when a bus was needed for field trips to plays, art exhibits, and other educational programs. The janitors of Charlotte High School kept very busy by doing many jobs, such as sweeping and waxing the floors, maintain- ing the class rooms, emptying the many trash baskets, and by doing the many repair jobs which came up throughout the year.

We Ceam Our Realizing that a complete understand- ing of English is essential, the English teachers of Charlotte High School were very concerned about the students' achievements. They helped the students not only to improve their reading and writing abilities, but also to understand and to logically organize their ideas and opinions. The controlled reading program, which was given to the freshmen, sopho- mores, and juniors, was also helpful to the students as it increased their reading speed plus it raised their percentage of comprehension. During the first semester, Mrs. Mitchell's 2nd hour Comp class learned the techniques of writing compositions. The joke's on you, Mr. McCabe! {language Waiting patiently for the home room bell, Mr. Mack's 7th grade English class worked industriously on their spelling. Second hour found Mr. Dickinson's 9th grade English class reading from their Practical English magazines. Mrs. Fisher's classes learned the correct way to write business and friendly letters. Miss Giar's sophomore class learned new vocabulary. Social studies is, as the name implies, the study of the components of our society, geography, economics, government, etc. or the history of how our society evolved to its present stage and what influences keep it there or cause it to continue evolving. The social studies department of Charlotte High School gave all of the twelve hundred students in her six grades of junior and senior high the opportunity to learn about and appreciate more about our country, its political and historical landmarks and characteristics, as well as the geography, economics, and history of the rest of planet Earth. The increasing importance of international politics and the increasing importance of understanding the political and economical problems of the other peoples of the world necessitated more and more emphasis on social studies in high school. yesterday 28 Quiet!

Bugs, Bunsen Burners, and Barometers 30 The science department hopes to meet the needs of all ts proselytes in Charlotte High School. General survey courses in the seventh and eighth grades prepare pros- pective scholars for the specific offerings in biology, chem- istry, and physics in senior high to help make the students understand the everyday problems and the fast growing Atomic Age. Watch out, it might explode! Mother Mraim 31 Work, work, and more work! Various Sized Math Mathematics, the manipulation of num- bers, is an integral part of such things as nuclear physics, without which man could not have progressed as far as he has. The value of transferring ideas and thoughts is recognized by the emphasis placed on lan- guage, the means by which we communicate. As English is important in our daily lives as a means of communicating, so mathematics, the language of science, is important for further- ing research. In Charlotte High School the mathematics department stimulates and edu- cates the minds of our students, helping in- sure the continuation of man's progress by giving the means of scientific communication. 32 The students in Mr. Gobel's trigonometry class anticipate the next day's lesson with assurance. Classes Junction Smoothly All students (except Bill LeSeney) listened carefully as Mr. Stall gave instructions for the next day's assignment. 33 Spanish students listened weekly to their lessons on tape. Phyllis Shepard looked at a French menu while Jerry Parr wai take her order. foreigners Converse at Class Kendezvous First year Latin students were busy translating a story. The Spanish and French and Latin classes were very well taught and enjoyed by the students. The students take Latin in school because it is a great help in the future in medicine and helps them to spell and understand their English better. Students take Spanish and French to learn about our southern and overseas neighbors. They learn the language and customs of these countries. Many students will visit one of these countries in their lifetime in which this knowl- edge will help. This will also help to create better feelings among nations by knowing and understanding their other problems as well as their own. Sandra Packard, Roxanne Landers, and Lonna Mclane were busy oil painting out-of-doors scenes. Under Miss Reed's supervision, the art classes obtained the skill of working with water colors, leather, models, and the different materials used when sculpturing or working with ceramics. They also studied the different types of designs, periods of art, and lettering.

Musical Zalent Js High in Cadet Maud During class time the Cadet Band practiced and marched under the direction of Mr. Herbert Phillips. They also practiced to improve individually on their own time. The Cadet Band played in many of the concerts given during the year. This all prepared them for the Senior Band. 38 Vocal groups J equire Musical Experience The Chorus classes, directed by Mr. Darrell Cook, produced several musical programs for the school and parents of Charlotte. They presented an annual Christmas concert, a spring show, and a musical assembly for the student body. Even with all the hard work they do, they enjoyed it very much. Charhian Staff Presents ''61 Annual Staff members were busy preparing copy and scheduling pictures. The '61 Charhian staff worked under the direction of Ron Johnson, the edilbr of the '61 book, who planned with the staff to portray school memories in the yearbook. The senior section of the '61 Charhian was under the direction of Sandra Stanke and Janet Keeney. Kayleen Thorburn and Dave Curtice handled the underclass section of the yearbook. The advertising section was under the leadership of Susie Clough and Marcia Baird, who sold ads to support the yearbook. Rick Munger and Fritz Cook super- vised the sports section. The school life section worked on the many different school functions under the direction of Alice Wyble and Wilma Baas. The financial rec- ords were kept by Sue Hutchens and Linda Wythe. The academic section was conducted by Nancy Vaughn and Steve Mogdis, who dealt with the classes at C.H.S. 40 journalism Class Produces Weekly Chronicle The class of '61 has turned out many excellent students. Some of these were part of the '60 and '61 journalism class. While writing for the school paper, they criticized and commented on the many school activities, which they did quite well. An annual event for the journalism class was the Journalism Carnival. This was a big success with the proceeds going to pay for the Orange and Black. The journalism class consisting of Darlene Cotsman, Rebecca Bly, Elaine Marple, Rowena Wotring, Roger Lavengood, Dave Fhaner, Sally Sattler, Kathy Noah, John Cove, Ruth Ronning, and Margie Sassaman edited the school paper weekly. 41 The boys started their first projects under the supervision of Mr. Lawrence Vandentak. m The boys were busy domg their projects with Mr. Don Smith's assistance. Qrease Monkeys, Pencil Pushers, and Zhumb Mailers, Obtain Valuable Experience The students in shop classes begin with general shop, where they learn the fundamentals of wood and metal working. Steel making, iron smelting, and using the lathe are just a few of the numerous activities experienced in Machine Shop I. Shop safety is also stressed in the course. Machine Shop II consists of a review and continua- tion of all subjects covered in Machine Shop I. Size description (dimensioning) and solution of geometric problems, such as bisecting and figure construction, are a few of the important aspects studied in Mechanical Drawing I. The introduction to Mechanical Drawing II is spent reviewing and concentrating on an intensive study of all material covered in Mechanical Draw- ing I. Working drawings in detail, pictorial draw- ings, surface development, and architectural draw- ing are only a few of the subjects covered in this class. Charlotte High School's agricultural department was in full swing this year, carrying on many different activities including assembling a new corn picker, taking care of an animal on their farm, and growing crops such as corn, wheat or oats. The varied projects which were performed by the boys will be a great help to them in their future farming experiences. Modem Methods Prepare Our farmers The boys assembled their new corn picker. 43 Judy DeFrates and Donna White worked on their sewing projects. In the sewing division of the economics class, students learn not only to work with materials but learn about the material itself. By the end of the year they have advanced from making simple aprons to making a new spring suit. These girls listened to a lecture on nutritional value. Good ?ood and Stylish Clothes Result Horn Homemaking Did you ever wonder what that delicious aroma was that came floating down the hall? That was the home economic cooking class, cooking their dinners, breakfasts, lunches or other delicacies. Besides learning how to cook, the girls were taught about nutritional value, meal planning and many other areas which are helpful to future homemakers. 44 While the gym classes were busy learning co-ordination by swimming, playing football, basketball, soccer, volleyball, and many other sports, the driver training classes were exercising their minds while learning co-ordination between mind and action. Both classes are important in the development of co-ordination of mind and body. Driver training students were taught the skills of driving through actual experience. Dennis Papoi demonstrates one of the many drills used in gym class to develop co-ordination. 45 .... THE EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES The doors of Charlotte High School never seem to close even after the final bell rings. Here, teachers often return to catch up on correcting papers or marking cards. Here also, the many clubs and organizations of C.H.S. assemble on their various meeting nights. Teachers returning to put in extra hours of work exemplify the devotion of educators to their task of imparting knowl- edge to the coming generation of leaders. Extracurricular activities in the school rep- resent the important social aspect of Ameri- can secondary education. I Boys' State delegates were: Ron Johnson, Bob Keeney, Tom Fogle, Dave Lord, Ron Haskins, Jim Wietzke, Neil Benson, Mike lahr.

Participate in (government Wolverine Boys' State was held last June on the campus of Michigan State University. Boys' State gave its delegates the opportunity to practice self government on the city, county, and state level. The representatives from Charlotte took part in elections, attended discussion groups, and heard important speakers. The overall purpose of this American Legion sponsored Boys' State is the build- ing of character and leadership in Michigan's youth. Camp Every was the setting for Rotary Camp last June. Sponsored by International Rotary, this camp was developed to promote leadership and better citizenship. Those attending heard from various speakers and participated in many sports while they were there. Sponsored by the American Legion, Girls' State took place on the University of Michigan campus, and trained Michigan's young women in the work- ings of democracy. Girls' State citizens also had the opportunity to attend occupational seminars to aid them in their decisions on lifetime vocations. The girls from Charlotte gained much in theory and practice at Girls' State and with their male counter- parts we can rely on the predominance of America in democracy's camp in years to come. 49 Hillsdale Was Zhe Scene Of Model U.H- This year, as it has for the past twelve years, Hillsdale College played host to MUNA, Model United Nations Assembly. This assembly, composed of Hillsdale College students and high school students from all over the state of Michigan, was the midget counter- part of the United Nations in New York City, the organ of world peace and stability. Presenting proposals, debat- ing points of international import. Those students who attended the two day session became well versed in affairs of the world. The representatives from the junior dass, Dave Love, Don Carr, Dick Watson, Windy Morse, Wilma Baas, Joan Vrogindewey, discussed the problems of Tunisia and Polland, which they represented, before going to MUNA. Mr. Richard Hall, their advisor, and David Lord worked out last minute details connected with the trip to Hillsdale. 50 Magazine Sales Challenge {juniors The first project of the junior class of 1960-1961, as it has been with junior classes for several years past, was the junior magazine sales. Held for the purpose of raising funds for the Junior-Senior Prom, the juniors' sale grossed more money than did last year's juniors, but netted less. Although this latter fact caused the juniors some concern, they used their ingenuity, rather than funds to pro- duce the prom. Bob Saurer, Wilma Baas, Claudia Skelley, Jerry Zimmerman, Jamie Tuckey, and Steve Mogdis efficiently ran the production end of the junior magazine sales. Linda Summerix, Carol Smith, Janette Landis, and Dick Watson received recognition in this year's junior magazine sales by selling more magazines than their classmates. Bill LeSeney looked on as Bob Saurers marked the total amount of the junior magazine sales. 51 Zke Cime Broadway- Before the curtain rose on another Junior Play, a committee of that class was found ''gobbing makeup on their fellow students.

Written by Robert E. Sherwood, it was a serious play, containing light touches of comedy and political overtones. The major portion of the play dealt with Abe Lincoln's life during his sen- atorial race, his campaign for presi- dency, and his Electoral College elec- tion. Although it did not prove to be ex- tremely profitable, there were many who participated in its production, and who derived enjoyment from the play. Wendell Esch proved his ability to portray Abraham Lincoln, especially in his dynamic inauguration speech.

Fritz Cook and Carol Bursley were selected from the junior class. Reigned Homecoming V Carol Peterson and Carl Youngs represented the sophomore class at the Homecoming. The 1960-1961 Football homecoming was ad- ministered by the senior class. Centered around the theme, America the Beautiful. This year's homecoming was the first since the idea was formulated that floats weren't built by the classes to celebrate the occasion. Traditionally the king and queen of homecoming have been crowned at the game, but due to rain, the coronation was postponed until the postgame dance. Designed as an honor to alumni of Charlotte High School, those returning from college and work were able for a short time to return to high school days and friends not often seen. Nancy Lewellyn and John Nelson were the freshman class's representatives. Zee Zappers Zwirl Zo Zop Zen Many delightfully dirty decorated socks attended the annual Turkey Trot. After the Friday night basketball games, many students attended the after-game dances. Sophisticated Sandy and Dubious Dave posed for a picture before leaving for the annual Sadie Hawkins Dance. Students Dabble ]n Activities galore Every noon hour students of CHS flocked to the gym to join friends for an half-hour of dancing. The absence of snow did not stop the annual job of selling Christmas trees by the F.F.A. boys. Mr. E. Thompson, who presented the assembly on glass blowing, displayed the technique connected with the art of glass blowing. Tuesdays Were Set Js dor „ Gabor Pusztaszeri, the Exchange Student from Switzerland, presented an assembly on customs of his country. Charlotte High School hosted several paid assemblies and witnessed numerous intramural assemblies during the course of the year. These assemblies were designed to add to the knowledge of the students as well as to be entertaining. The nature of these assemblies ranged from vocal music to glassblowing in an attempt to insure the satisfaction of the numerous interests of the entire school body. Duanne Benson, Tom Fogle, and Tony Fogle displayed fheir singing ability in the chorus assembly. One of the most important things in any school is school and team spirit. The latter is an internal force within a team which spurs it on to victory, the former is the enthusiasm of the crowd which shows their support and approval of the team. Pep meetings were held on Fridays for home games, giving the students a chance to charge the team with spark to do their best and gain a victory at the game that night. Many of the pep assemblies were unusual as the above picture would indicate. Energy + Variety — Successful Pep Assemblies The students quickly took their seats, anticipating an excellent pep assembly whenever a home game was to be held. Queen Karen Scott Sweetheart Queens basketball This year's Sweetheart Queens reigned over the Charlotte-lonia game and dance. Appearing at the half-time, Queen Judy was crowned by Captain-of-the-night Don Carr. Chosen by the freshman class was Cessily Wotring, followed by Caryl Jones, the sopho- more representative, and Karen Scott, the choice of the junior class.

The Science Club became active under the direction of Mr. Glen- wood McNeil and Mr. Peter Lowe. This club helped pro- mote interest in Science and provided facilities for people who were interested in this field. Tom Fullerton, Phyllis Shephard, Joan Saums, Don Stiver. Revived uA Joan Vrogindewey, Marcia Black Phillip Keeny, Rowena Wotring, Ron Haskins, Ron Johnson A much less familiar activity here at Charlotte was the Forensics pro- gram which took place in the early spring. Participating in five different fields, a contest was held at C.H.S. on March 2nd. The win- ners were: Declamation; Phyllis Shephard, first, Tom Fullerton, second. Humorous reading; Don Stiver, first, Joan Saums, second, Interpretive reading; Joan Vrogin- dewey, first, Marcia Black, second, Oration; Ron Haskins, first, Ron Johnson, second, Extempore speaking; Rowena Wotring, first, Phillip Keeny, second. 65 Jean Muir, Marcia Baird, Joan Vrogendewey, and Wilma Baas listened intently to the speaker of the day. Honorary and The Charlotte Chapter of the National Honor Society was established here two years ago. Its members must be students in good standing with 3.5 averages or over, and have been active in at least one extra- curricular activity each year in high school. The purpose of this organization is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, stim- ulate a desire to render development of character in students in Charlotte High School. This year, under the guidance of Mrs. Eretha Woodard, for their annual project they chose to sponsor a Westaway Me- morial Scholarship Fund. This is a fund of $100 which would go to a senior who could meet the qualifications, and is in memory of Mr. Alwyn Westaway, our late chemistry teacher. To raise money for this, they received the proceeds of the Turkey Trot, and also sponsored a car wash. The members felt they accomplished a great deal this year. Neil Benson, the president, spoke to Sally Settler, Dick Watson, and Wilma Baas as they plan for their car wash. 66 w Scholars journalists The purpose of this honorary society is to encourage and reward individual achievements in journalism and allied fields. To be a member, a student must be a junior or a senior in the upper third of his class. He must have done some superior work in some phase of journalism or some school publications work, and must be recommended by Mrs. Cynthia Mitchell, the publications advisor. With the cooperation of the English department, the Quill and Scroll mem- bers edited two booklets of the best literary works of the students of Char- lotte High School. Rick Munger industriously worked to improve the Quill and Scroll society. Here we found Mrs. Mitchell, Ron Johnson, and Rick Munger discussing the past year's activities of Quill and Scroll. Pedagogy Cearnedby teachers of tomorrow Members of the Future Teachers' Club pictured are: Sandra Gauntz, Wilma Baas, Reyes Smith, Janice Driscal, Carol Smith, Dale McClintock, Ruth Ronning, Don Bracy, Phillip Keeny, Tom Fullerton. Discussing the problems of teaching were Sandra Gauntz, Mr. Bartilson, the speaker of the evening, Tom Fullerton, and Don Bracy. Future Teachers' Association, a fairly new organization, completed another successful year in becoming acquainted with the pur- pose and techniques of teaching. The pur- pose of the club is to strengthen faculty- student relationships and instill the desire to go on to higher education. This year, for the first time, the members had several service projects among which they practiced teaching and helped teachers. At one meet- ing a panel of teacheft was invited and they told their different views on college and teaching. The club is very grateful for the competence and help of their advisor, Mr. Henry Jarabek. 68 mmam Bottom row: Dale Murray, Jim Murray, Shirley Morris, Sue Murray, Dixie Rogers, Martha Smith, Frieda Shumaker, Miss Prohaska.

Bible Club Inspires fellowship The Bible Club, under the direction of Miss Jean Prohaska, inspires students to become more conscious of the religious aspect of life. They learn to better understand the BIBLE and the other facets of religious and moral life. A great scholar once said that learning should consist of three things: morals, religion, and book learning, so it is most fitting that Char- lotte High School students can derive their moral and religious teachings through being a member of the Bible Club. Miss Bernadine Hoffman, a missionary from Africa, spoke one noon hour to the Bible Club, telling about her work. 69 Every Monday during homeroom, the Library Club met to explore the many wonders of books. This literary organization is under the capable direc- tion of Mrs. Mildred lauch, whose ex- perience in this field proved to be a great asset to its members. The pur- pose of the club is to inspire students in the field of literature. In their cur- riculum, the members learned to help others find information in the library, and to become better citizens. Each member devoted one hour of his class time to work in the library. Many students used the resource material offered by the library. jCibrarians Ceam Citerature Left: Becky Bly, Dick Newcomber, Emerson Ray, Bill Brenton, Jack Curtice, Ted Collins, Lowell Nash, Don Bracy.

Shutter-Mugs Have Sventful year One of Camera Club's many field trips. The Camera Club's purpose is to stimulate interest in photography and develop any talent that the members may have in that field. One of their new projects, which they undertook this year, was taking pictures for the CHAR- HIAN and the ORANGE AND BLACK. To further their interest in photography, they went on many field trips. Included among these were hikes, a trip to Holland, and a trip to the Free Press Photo Show in Detroit. Taking pic- tures at night was a novel experience for most of the members. The Charlotte Chapter of this organization is the largest of its kind in Michi- gan. In the perplexing world of film chemistry, Mr. George Appleton, their capable advisor, was always ready and willing to help. 71 The purpose of the Spanish Club is to acquaint the students who take Spanish with the costumes of Spain and Spanish America. Miss Dorothy Hughs, the advisor, accompanied the club on their trips to the annual Spanish Festival at the University of Michigan. They also held a Parents' Night when the members put on skits to show the value of taking Spanish. A banquet was given and the alumni of Los Amigos were invited.

Established to pro- mote opportunities in expressing talents in the field of entertainment, the Vaudvillens put forth much effort this year. Concentrating these efforts to their main project, an assembly in the spring. The results were very rewarding. On a more relaxed atmos- phere, they dined out one May Sunday.

Jootlighteers Dramatics Footlighteers held their tryouts early in the year and brought in a maximum of new members. They then embarked upon a year of study in the various facets of the theater as a preparation for their annual Drama Night, which is presented in the spring. They also attended a Drama Day at a college campus and entertained at the school board dinner. Under the direction of Mrs. JoAnn Doud, their advisor, the members of Foot- lighteers managed to carry through with all the dignity and tradition of the theater, while deriving a maximum of enjoyment and self-satisfaction.

The advisors of the club are Mrs. Mary Edgar and Miss Jean Prohaska. The purpose of this organization is to develop interest and leadership in homemaking as a possible career. They gain valuable experience in the basics: cooking, sewing, and wash- ing, and they also became skilled at home decoration, party decoration, and child care. Taking part in the formal initiation are old and new members. Below are Donna Baker, Shirley Clark, and Marlene Root at the formal initiation.

Ckarlaquettes Splash Zhrough Another year Pictured are Gayanne Cook, Linda Mauney, and Marcia Jones showing the new members swimming routines. The Charlaquettes, under the friendly and competent advice of Miss Nancy Wild, ex- perienced a splashing good year. This year, as in the past, they presented their annual swim show. Although this entailed a great deal of hard work and co-operation on the part of the girls, they had a lot of fun doing it. Going to a trampoline center was one activity in which they participated besides swimming. Through these activities they fulfilled their purpose, which is to develop leadership and co-oper- ation. 78 Front row: Carol Granger, Nancy Nesman, Linda Mishler, Donis Sinclair, Connie Shumaker, Karen Scott, Joan Vrogindewey.

Through this very active Girls' Athletic Association girls widen their interest and skill in a variety of competitive sports which include: archery, basketball, volley- ball, softball, and bowling. They also en- joyed many other activities, such as swim- ming, horseback riding, and having a slum- ber party. The purpose of the club is to promote good sportsmanship and the de- sire to compete and win. At the close of the year, awards were given to girls who achieved the goals set up by the club. 79 80 ----THE ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES There are a great variety of sports offered at Charlotte High School which make it possible for almost any student to par- ticipate. The boys on the different teams learn to work well in a unit, and get a feel- ing of achievement when the time comes when they receive their sports letter. The cheerleaders play an important part also. It is their responsibility to lead the spectators in cheers to inspire the team to keep playing at their best. All in all, the athletic program is a vital part of the CHS educational system. Orioles ’ football Rocky Smith, number 44, carried the ball for a long gain with the help of Jim Rose, number 42. The team of 1960 turned in the most successful sea- son in three years. They finished fourth in West Cen- tral B League conference with a good three win—four loss record. The Oriole coach, Rodrick Halstead, said he was proud of the eight senior boys. He also com- mented on how the team spirit had risen in the past few years. Assistant coaches Glenn Briggs and Dallas Stall were instrumental in developing a strong line and backfield, along with performing their other numerous duties. All in all, the Orioles should be commended on their fine season. Rick Munger, number 27, led through the hole as Jamie Tuckey, number 12, ran off tackle. 82 Bottom row: Gary Holben, Chuck Kiplinger, Gary Rochester, Mike Larsen, Gerald Fetterman, Jamie Tuckey, Fritz Cook, Bill Rose, Ted Myers, Burley Wellman.

Although the win-loss record of the Junior Varsity and Freshman teams wasn't really too successful, they reached a far better goal. This goal was gaining experience and knowledge of the game of football which they will use in future years as varsity players for C.H.S. The Junior Varsity coach, William Taft, should be congratulated on the fine training he gave to the Little Orioles. Norman Dunham, serving as Freshman coach for his first year at Charlotte, did an outstanding job in teaching the Frosh the funda- mentals of this great game.

Metens Spark Cross Country Zeaiu Cross-country, the fast upcoming sport across the United States, is rapid- ly becoming a very popular sport here at Charlotte. Charlotte High School is very for- tunate to have on its fine team Mike Martens. Mike is one of the outstand- ing runners in the whole state of Mich- igan. He finished as the number one runner in our conference, the third best in the regionals, and fifth in the state meet. Mr. Henry Jarabek, the cross-country coach, said he was pleased to see such a large turn-out for the team this year and was in hopes that such a large participation would continue. 86 ThrOUgh h Mike M tens “©ve o into Client Wrestling becomes Popular in Charlotte Wrestling, another one of the new sports here at Charlotte, is becoming very popular all over the state, because of its all around athletic appeal. Wrestling is a sport where you can show your own cleverness, speed and brute strength. Of all the athletics you could participate in, wrestling is the most strenuous; being in top-flight condition is the best asset for a wrestler. Mr. William Taft said that this year's team showed much desire, but lack of ex- perience hurt them considerably. He said that next year's team would also be young, but would have some experience to back them. He was pleased with the performance of Bill Brenton, who was the top wrestler in his weight class in the entire league.

The Charlotte Orioles surprised most of the people in the West Central B League Area, by finishing as one of the top three teams in our conference. The Oriole cagers were picked by the experts to finish in last place, but the sharp shooting and outstanding rebounding of Wayne Brown led the squad to many upsets. Mr. Halstad said he was very pleased with the boys who made up the team this past year. Because of the fact that there were no seniors, seven juniors, five sophomores and one freshman, he said next year's team should be one of the best in the league. 24, Wayne Brown is shown here shooting a jump shot, with Jim McGlaughlin 34 looking on.

Zke fj, unior Varsity Shows Spirit The little Orioles didn't win a tremendous number of games this past year, but a reason could be that their team was probably the youngest of any in the league. According to the reports from coach Norman Dunham, Jim Perry and Gerald Fetterman should be pretty good material for the varsity in future years. Mr. Dunham commented on his year by saying that he never had a group of harder working boys, and even though they lost a little more than a coach may desire, he said his team fought hard until the final buzzer. This showed up in the scores where they were never really downed by a large margin.

Playing for the first time as an organ- ized team, the seventh grade ended up by winning three and losing five. While their record isn't outstanding, the team- showed great strides in learning the game of basketball. The seventh grade is the first year that boys participate in any organized sport in Charlotte. The players this year have gained a foundation for all of the sports they will participate in throughout high school. The team showed great ability to work together and to learn the fun- damentals of basketball. Despite the win and loss record, the seventh grade team had a good season and there will be many good prospects for future teams. Eighth graders Have Winning Season The eighth grade basketball team turned in a record of five wins and three losses. Some of their losses came at the hands of schools with a much larger en- rollment and even these losses were very close games. Mr. Eldred Toutant said he has high hopes for this team in future years, as a championship varsity squad. Bottom row: Jim Pentecost, Mike Harvey, Dave Cove.

Cheerleaders School This year was no exception to any of the past in the respect that the cheer- leaders gave their support to our team. Not only did they plan all pep assem- blies, but gave much more of their time to inventing new cheers and new ways of doing old ones. The captain of the cheerleaders for this year was Brenda Hopkins. Brenda is a senior who has shown an outstanding knack of leadership and ability to organ- ize. Miss Nancy Wild was their superior and advisor. According to the reports from the girls on the cheerleading squad their high standards of cheering could only be kept through her guidance. Janet Putman, Judy Hielse, Sue Simpsdn, Joanne Schofield, Linda Page, Linda Bartlett, Carol Mikesell Stimulate Spirit The Junior Varsity Cheerleaders worked very hard this year. The girls were very ingenious thinking up skits for the pep meetings. During the Junior High pep meetings the cheerleaders led the students in many cheers, some of which they made up themselves. In the Senior High pep meetings they would lead a few cheers with the varsity. On the day of the games there were always signs up throughout the school promoting the spirit of the school, which the cheer- leaders had put up the night before.

CiHkmen Show Jmprovement The golf team started out practicing while there was still snow on the ground. The sport of golf has been in Charlotte for many years, but only in the last few years has there been a large amount of interest in golf. Most often golf is con- sidered a gentleman's sport in which there is a friendly relation between the players while they compare. Although the golf team didn't have any golfers that were consistantly par shooters, the team was made up of a group of players that were capable of shooting fine golf. 97 baseball Zops Spring Sports Baseball, the king of all spring sports, was in high gear as will be shown on these fol- lowing pages. A large turn-out, for the team was shown this year, compared to that in past years. The Orioles were a young team again this year, but they were an experienced one. They were led by such able seniors as Roger Laven- good, Dale McClintock, Roger Green, Ron Haskins, Jordan Odell, and Mike Lahr. They also had some young prospects that showed promises of developing into solid baseball players. They were juniors Wayne Brown, Paul Whitney, Jamie Tuckey, Fritz Cook, John Bly, and Mike DeFrates. Jamie Tuckey demonstrated a slide into base while Fritz Cook put a tag on him. Gerald Fetterman and Burley Wellman demonstrated a reaction drill. 98 Bottom row: Manager W. Otto, F. Weiting, J.

This year CHS started a new confer- ence sport, tennis, coached by Mr. Robert Piersma. Tennis, just as any conference sport, had a regular schedule about the same length as the baseball and the track sea- son. A conference match consists of four single and three double matches, with about sixteen boys on a team. CHS was one of the few West Central B League schools that hadn't participated in con- ference tennis. Although high school tennis is an or- ganized sport, it has the advantages of an individual sport in that it can be played during the summer and fall as well as in the spring months. Coach Piersma showed Jim Hayes the proper grip on the racket. Cock of Experience Minders Zraek While the 1961 track team was lacking in seniors, the under- classmen helped the team greatly. Experience was the greatest thing lacking this year, but Mr. Halstad had fine success in coaching the individual trackmen to help them to perform to their fullest extent. Charlotte had some superior boys in some events—Mike Mar- tens, who was always pushing toward the school record in the mile, and Rocky Smith, a senior, who will be missed very much in the 220 and 100 yard dash. Although the track team has many inexperienced underclass- men, Mr. Halstad said The 1962 track team should be a much better team and the following year they should be a contender for the conference title. At left Mike Martens trained for the mile. At bottom coach Halstad showed boys proper start.

Each year is a plateau to be achieved, a challenge to be met by the students in their striving for knowledge. Underclassmen were confronted with more work and study than ever before, but, like- wise, they were allowed greater social opportunities. .... THE UNDERCLASSMEN President Stan Brenton, Vice President Danny Cowden, and Secretary- treasurer Carey Sassaman enjoyed a game of checkers at 7th grade camp. Zomorrow Ceaders Upon entering junior high school, members of the same class were brought together from the various elementary schools and united for the first time in one group within one school. This gathering together marked the beginning of the long road to higher education as well as the path to a rewarding social life. In an educational sense, seventh graders have had a taste of seventh grade geography and co-ed gym. Of more lasting remembrance, however, are the memories of the good times they had at seventh grade camp. 106 Marcia Andrews David Appleton Dianna Aseltine Karen Aumick Esther Baker Sherry Barnard Jeffery Barnett Madaleine Barnett Dorothy Bartlett Ann Bartolacci Cheryl Benson Maynard Bishop Kristene Bosworth Danny Boughton Bettie Bovill Michael Bowen Phillip Boyd David Branch Sharon Brandon Stanley Brenton Terry Briggs Bill Brown Dan Bryan Dennis Burger Vevia Bursley Larry Burt Rosalie Carter David Chapman Linda Cherry Gary Clark Bill Clay Ricky Collins Sandra Cooper Randy Combs Danny Cowden Sharon Crandall Bob Cribb Carrol Crozier Linda Davis Cheryl DeFrates James Dillinger Mike Domangue James DuBois Paul Dunning Thomas Dutcher Charla Eaton Linda Eldridge Gary Emede Tommy Emery Sheila Everett Mary Fairchile Karen Feasal Wendy Fenning Linda Flo Joyce Foote Sue Force 107 The big day finally arrived!

The Junior High basketball team played a vigorious game against Eaton Rapids. Noon dancing is enjoyed by many students at Charlotte High. School Salt Mines. On the stairway to success were president Dick Lux; vice-president Jackie Bruce; secretary Bill McCurdy; and treasurer Carl Peterson, looking happily at the past. “High School” Reckons 8th graders Eighth graders have become quite accustomed to working hard and having bigger assignments since they entered junior high school; likewise, eighth graders have become slightly sophisticated, and the initial thrill of being in with the older kids has worn off for most of them. This year was devoted to polishing up the last portion of their elementary education, for soon they would be entering senior high school and the path to graduation. Even more than in seventh grade, social life played an important role in building the character of our eighth graders, but essentially the all important goal of obtaining their diploma stood foremost in their minds. 112 Robert Aardema Jeanne Allen Vernerd Andrews Patricia Armstrong Jeanne Arthur Christy Baird Ernest Baker Nicky Bashkirew Carol Barrus Bill Bartlett Connie Bartlett Mike Bartlett Duane Baxter Patricia Bearup Brenda Beck Ronnie Bell Margaret Black Mark Bobier Patrick Boyd Linda Bowes Patricia Bracy Jim Braden Linda Bradley Chuck Brandon Alice Brown Jackie Bruce Bob Buffenbarger Bill Butler Julie Butler Adonna Burgess Sharon Buxton Jack Cahill William Carney Diana Coats Carroll Cole Janet Cole Patty Constable Dave Cove Garry Craven Ron Davis Rebecca Day Linda Dean Richard Dean Dewey Decker Wanda Dillinger David Dimond Pamela Domangue Dianne Dreger 113 Thomas Eaton Dick Elcoate Everett Eldridge Edward Elies Robert Ellison Tom Emery Joe Everett Sue Farlin Charlene Fezatte Susan Fhaner Jane Fletcher Ellen Flory Douglas Flower Richard Fogle Edward Folsom Linda Foster Cerel Fritz James Garrison The eighth grade Student Council members, Mark Bobier, Mike Harvey, Judy Match, Michelle Wilmore, and Patty Bearup, worked out of council as well as in council.

Challenged by flew experiences Challenged by many new activities, the freshmen began the year facing new problems and new experiences. They were faced with the decision of choosing their respective courses, which each student did with considerable thought. The ninth graders discovered the importance of citizenship as they were accepted by the upperclassmen. As the class ended its first year in high school, its members looked hopefully toward three more suc- cessful and happy years at Charlotte High School. The following officers who led their fellow students through a successful year are: Sam Beglin, president; Kurby Morgan, vice-president; Cessily Wotring, sec- retary; Harold Saunders, treasurer. 119 Leon Humphrey Janice Johnson Terry Keefus Joyce King Doug Klont Norma Byrd Sue Cagle Charles Carr Martha Carr Jim Case Margaret Casey Sue Cheney Don Clark Douglas Clark Scott Clemence Diana Cobb Gary Cogswell Judy Cole Mary Conard Roxanne Cooper Daisy Cox Diane Crandall Lillian Davis Terry Davis Lynda Day John Dean Carolyn DeFrates Raymond DePuy Karen Deuel Ruth Dygert Susan Dykhouse Jack Eaton Karen Esch Carol Fisher Jean Forell Cheri Fox Sharon Fox David Gilding Charlotte Goodrich Diana Graham Robert Granger Janet Green Jean Greenfield Arthur Griffith Forrest Gunnison Daniel Haigh Mary Halbeisen Jeanne Hall Sharon Halsey Edna Hamilton Lynette Hause Susan Haysmer Larry Helser Donna Hout Ronda Hout Marsha Howe Dave Hoyt Patricia Huber Judy Hulse Top row: Patricia Kruger, David Lake, Sally Landers, Michael Lansing, Shirley Lantz, Roger Latchaw, Sharon Lavengood, David Lawhead, Dan LeClair, and Roger Leik.

Freshmen have emerged from elementary school and are looking forward to the several remaining years of their secondary education. Juniors and seniors are on the down hill run and are almost out into the adult world or are about to embark on a course of still higher education in college. Sophomores, however, are still gaining poise socially and knowledge mentally before their debut as elite juniors. The leadership for the sophomore class was comprised of Linda Mauney, president; Ron Moore, vice-president; Judy Kuehn, secretary; and Connie Bursley, treasurer. 124 ‘Junior X ear Activities Darwin Alldaffer Steve Allen Alice Anderson John Anderson Linda Arpino Doyle Baker Barbara Barnhill Thomas Bartlett LaRae Beck Duane Benson Raymond Black Larry Bodell Albert Borgman Cheryl Bowser Bill Braden John Brandon Terry Brock Bill Brown Mary Jo Brown Sherry Bruce Patti Bryan Sylvia Bryan Bonnie Bryner Shirley Bryner Joe Burger Doug Burnett Connie Bursley Linda Burton Glenna Butler Sherry Butler Susan Callender Lydia Cardenas Helen Carter Judy Class Brenda Clay Richard Cole Gary Collier Russell Conklin Karen Cooley William Cooper Joyce Cornelius Evonne Cotsman Paula Cronheim Dorothy Crozier Carole Curtis Kay Curtner Terrill Dean Shirley Densmore Anita Dickinson 125 Keneth Ditchfield Bonnie Donnelly Penny DuBois Neil Dygert Jimmy Eaton JoAnne Elies Cheryl Emede Gerold Fetterman Robert Fullerton Tom Fullerton Joe Gardner Tom Garrison Roger Gater Sandra Gauntz Linda Gierke Wilma Gierke Dennis Gierzak Diane Gillett Diane Gonser Norman Graham Steve Graham Duane Greenfield Jane Gregg Carolyn Griest Jolene Griffin Marilyn Grill Charles Grundstrom Kenneth Gullett John Halbeisen Dennis Hale Mike Haley Ellen Hall Laura Hamilton Ron Hammond Michael Hill Dale Hitchcock Roberta Hoag Ruth Hoedeman Mike Hokanson Gordon Holben Harold Holcomb Robert Hood Dianne Howard Rodney Hoyt Thomas Huver Patricia Hyde John Jane Linda Johnson Caryl Jones Fred Kelley Jane Kelley Margaret Kilpatrick Patricia King Bruce Kiplinger Harold Kiplinger Bill Klei Sandra Kloko Judy Kuehn Barbara Lake Sally Lake Charlene Lamie Darlene Lamie Mike Larsen Stephen Latchaw Helen Leik Mary Jane Loomis Nancy Lord Robert Lord Alvin McCulloch Penny McGaw Hair combed?

How- ever, the magazine sales, in addition, played a big part in the events that they participated in. Hours of long work teamed with co-operation were the prime assets of the Junior class which helped to bring about a successful year. Thus, the juniors completed a year that will profit them in their challenging year ahead. They experienced excep- tionally strong leadership under Steve AAogdis, pres- ident; Jamie Tuckey, vice-president; Carol Bursley, secretary; Claudia Skelly, treasurer. 130 John Adams Wilma Baas Douglas Badgley Marcia Baird Tom Barrett Roy Bartlett Gary Baxter Robert Betts Anthony Binkowski Nancy Bird Pat Bishop John Bly Sandra Bollman Sarah Braatz Lynnwood Bracy Terry Brickley Wayne Brown Art Bryan Carol Bursley Donna Bush Doras Bush Juniors listened attentively to the magazine representative ex- plain the best procedure for selling magazines.

Finding the specific heat of copper was an interesting and perplexing physics experiment. Gabor usually headed for the high school at about 8 o'clock each morning. Below: Gabor enjoyed working with his fellow students in all his classes. Qabor Pusztaszeri Born in Budapest, Hungary, Gabor Pusztaszeri lived with his parents and two older brothers in Lusanne, Switz- erland, (on Lake Geneva) until last year when he was brought to the United States by the local Rotary Club. Because Gabor's previous twelve years of study were devoted to classical subjects such as philosophy, physics, chemistry, history, math, and languages, and since there were no extra-curricular activities, his spare time was spent with school work (and enjoying Switzerland's great out-of-doors). While living here in Charlotte, Gabor was part of the Dr. William Byland family, and, of course, attended Charlotte High School. Gabor easily became accustomed to the pattern of life in Charlotte, and al- though attending school throughout the week, he had many opportunities to take small vacations (into Northern Michigan for example) and participate in numerous extra- curricular club and civic activities. When Gabor returns to Switzerland, he will be going back to still further study since he is planning to follow a vocation in medicine. An active part was played by Gabor in the 3rd hour government class's United Nations Assembly. 139 .... THE SENIORS OF 61 As Spring marks the beginning of new life, so the end of each school year signifies the commencement of something at once wonderful yet frightening to seniors, seem- ing independence. Until now seniors were watched and directed by parent and teacher. Now, they became forced to follow their own desires. Now, they became dependent on themselves for their livelihood and turned either to jobs in the outside world or began a period of higher training directed toward that same end. 140 Susie Clough and Carol Granger spent their time industriously studying as they awaited and anticipated graduation. As the seniors embarked upon their last year of high school, they were not only concentrating on graduating, but they were preparing for their futures. For some the day of graduation would be the closing of one door, secondary education, and the opening of another as they proceeded to college or other insti- tutions of higher learning. Marriage, jobs, or serving in the ranks of America's armed services provided attractive futures for others of our graduating class. No matter what the specific plans of our seniors were they were all headed from the nar- row world in which they had been protected by parent and teacher into the world of competition and reality, the world of experience. 'Destination-. World of Many of the seniors were undecided as to what they would do upon graduation, so the guidance department provided a complete and in- teresting program of aptitude tests and gave willingly of their time to help those who were uncertain. Linda Hopkins, Alice Wy- ble, John Powers, and Sharon Pekrul were among those who participated in one of these tests, the Michigan State Employment Service- General Aptitude Test Bat- tery. 142 Bub Briggs, President; Don Stiver, Vice-president; Sandy Stanke, Secretary; and Nancy Vaughn, Treasurer, were the officers chosen by the graduating class of 1961 to guide them through their last year to graduation. Experience From home to grade school, from grade school to high school, from high school into the world, a steady ascendance from plateau to plateau until the summit of man's life is reached. Each man's sum- mit is different, but we all begin at the same place and pass over the same, pri- mary stages. Each class of seniors achieves a plateau. Where they will go individ- ually is left to fate. Only their own industry and de- termination can change that fate. 143 DARREL RICHARD ALLDAFFER Vaudvillens, 1,2,3,4; Prom Decoration Committee 3; Class Assembly 1.
