Clarkston High School - Hilltopper Yearbook (Clarkston, MI)

Text from Pages 1 - 68 of the 1946 volume:

The schools of Clarkston have had a long and varied history during which they have progressed from private institutions to our present school system. The first public school was located on the west shore of Park Lake. This building gradually became too small to meet the needs of the community 30 in 1911 a larger building was erected on the same site. This school had six classrooms and eight teachers. When this building proved to be no longer adequate the property was sold to Henry Ford and the present school property on East Church Street was acquired. The new building was erected and Mr. D. M. Winn served as superintendent. The first class to graduate from the new building was the class of 1931. The present school employs fifteen teachers and serves about six hundred students. Since 1944 Mr. Carl Brablec has served as superintendent and Mr. Wallace Ridgley as principal. Under their administration the school has increased its enrollment and added numerous courses. To CARL BRABLEC whose pleasant smile and friendly advice have helped so many students we sincerely and respectfully dedicate this 1946 HILLTOPPER conums DEDICATION ADMINISTRATION FACULTY SOPHOMORES FRESHMEN JR.

In him we find a good example of responsibility, well taken. MRS. WILLIAM VLIET Principal Her earnestness and endeavor in her work are something to be copied. She has manifested a human interest in each individual student and her thoroughness and attention to detail have helped them get the most out of each day's school.

Achievements of the class were emphasized in the class roll, the will, the prophecy, and like senior activities. Today there is a democratic tendency to forget class barriers and to record a review of the school as a whole. The object of the HILLTOPPER staff of 1946 has been to produce an annual that will give all students attending school this year a means of cherishing the rich memories of their school life. -fflCULTy • LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT Miss Mary Campbell • HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT Miss Margaret Klook • SCIENCE DEPARTMENT Miss Patricia Niblack Mr. Harold Lamb • SOCIAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT Mr. Carl Brablec Mr. Wallace Ridgley Miss Edna Bierlein • COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT Mr. Ralph Thayer • PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Mr. Ralph Thayer Miss Rosemary Ward • MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT Mrs. W.

Without pupils a school is useless. The growth of students should be physical, mental, and moral. Under Xfre leadership of Mrs. Vliet and her staff the grade school is helping each pupil to do Just that. Each class has its own library and supplies to help provide conditions for mental growth and development of the boys and girls. A gym program has been worked out for the grade children to keep them physically sound and also to furnish relaxation from academic activities. Thus we find our pupils growing into young men and women with well-rounded personalities. SIUD£HT council OFFICERS • Wallace A.

He's a swell all around good sport. He will surely be missed during next year's sport season. Nice work, FrankJ •WALT LaPLANTE—cocaptain with Prank, showed plenty of fight out there on the field. Walt, a scholar, a gentlemen and an athlete, should be a success in whatever he undertakes. fOOHML SCORES OF THE 1945 SEASON • Opponents Clarkston Goodrich 0 32 Log Cabin 6 6 Bloomfield Hills 0 34 Auburn Heights 6 26 Linden 0 18 Lake Orion 6 14 Crash right through that Line is jtfst what the gridmen did. Our strong, conditioned eleven won five games and tied one. The past season’s schedule was the hardest yet attempted, but the WOLVES, led by Co-captains Ronk and LaPlante, handled the situation well and surprised many of our supposedly stronger opponents. Doc Thayer deserves much credit for the fine performance his team turned in. mm Walt LaPlante Glenn Davison Bill Sharp Frank Ronk Basil Ash Harold Smith Bill Wyckoff Kenneth Craft Don Smith Ralph Eaton raws Bob Stitt Bruce Watson Dean Anderson Frank DeVaney David Leak Richard Allen John Adams Wayne Longair Bill Ludwig Charles McGee If scores were the only important things in an athletic season, the basketball campaign would be considered unsuccessful. Experienced fans, however, know that the score book does not tell the whole story. Handicapped chiefly by lack of height, our team showed the Clarkston spirit nevertheless and played ball to the very end. While these fellows proved that they could take it” like good sports; they also demonstrated that they could give it. Even in the face of defeats, such players as Tink Ronk, Walt LaPlante, Bill Sharp, Glenn Davison, and Bill Wychoff were outstanding and contributed much to the morale of the team. Next season will find us with a number of experienced players but for this year our satisfaction lay in the sport and the spirit of the team. MKHll In spring a young man's fancy turns to thought of baseball. This year, nine lettermen are returning to the team, along with many promising newcomers. As the HILLTOPPER goes to press, the 1946 season has not yet begun, so we present last year's schedule which is very 3imiliar to the present one.

They have worked to establish the ideal of sports for sports' sake since they do not work for letters. Their theory is that the enjoyment and proficiency in the sport is enough reward. Next season will find them, as experienced players, a real threat to their opponents. SCHOOL MM SEPTEMBER September 5—School opens and everyone's glad to be back.
