Clarkston High School - Hilltopper Yearbook (Clarkston, MI)

Text from Pages 1 - 60 of the 1948 volume:

Cl-IS As the members of the Clarkston alumni go about their tasks in life, they will always remember the splendid grandeur and beauty of the Clarkston school. The building itself is a beautiful piece of architecture. Inside are many well-kept rooms. Among these are the Home Economics and the shop room, which contains the latest equipment. In the center of the I-I shaped building is the gym- nasium. This huge room is the pride and joy of the Clarkston stu- dents. It is a full two stories high and contains a balcony and a stage, besides a roomy basketball floor. The building is adorned with beautifully plammed landscaping. An athletic field can be seen nearby. There is no doubt that this struc- ture will be fondly remembered by all who attend Clarkston High. HILLTOPPER STAFF DEDICATION .... ADMINISTRATION . . FACULTY ...... SENIORS . . IUNIORS .....

You remember his witty re- marks as detective in Snafu, and father in The Groom Said No. PATRICIA I. COOPER Pat is one of the most helpful, cheerful and uncomplaining people in the senior class. No matter what goes wrong, she can always be counted on to maintain her cheerful disposi- tion. PAULINE HELEN BAKER Sweet Polly O'Bakle, who's not quite sure whether she's taking economics or not, is a buddy to all, and oh, .nat laugh. She's always glad when winter is over, it's so much easier to stand up. SHIRLEY ANNE CROSBY Entering Clarkston in her junior year, Shirley has since been a spark-plug for the student body. She long will be remembered for her rousing cheers and sparkling performance in the senior play. DONNA L. BEALS You can easily see why Donna was voted can- didate for queen. Her charm and catchy giggle will always be a cherished memory of high school. More than that, she's not a bad basketball player. SALLY ANN CURRY Sally played a very convincing Mrs. Garrett in Snaiu, the junior play. Her quick wit and jolly manner make her a favorite of the class. She can always be counted on for an appropriate commente KAROLINA ALICE BOLDT Pee Wee is really faithful to good ol' C. H. S. as you can see, She came back to us after a years absence, and we're certainly glad she did. Too bad though, boys, she s already hooked. FRANCES M. DAILY Frau, our little scholar, is quite an actress, playing the part of Madge in Snafu, and acting as student director for our senior play. She also takes a bow for writing news for the town paper. WILLIAM ROBERT CASKEY We understand that Bob is quite an outdoors- man, and trapper. We wonder if he catches his girls that way too. He was certainly in- dispensible as set-maker for our junior and senior class plays. RAYMOND DAY Daisy, usually quiet and reserved, showed us his other side during work on Snafu. He play- ed a pompous professor that left us rolling in the aisles. And later at the cast party he really let go. , 4055 'N fffif 10 FRANK DEVANEY Here's one fellow who's certainly been in there pitching as far as basketball goes, and he's manage to ,rack up a number of points for himself. He s an expert trapper too. WILLIAM HEALEY Bill seems to have found a better school in Clarkston. We're glad he decided to make the change. He doesn't take part in sports, but he enjoys watching them. A good spectator is lndispensible. CHARLES RICHARD DOYLE Here's a boy who's definitely talented. Dick's not only a great sports enthusiast, taking part in all five sports, but that boy can really dress. Maybe some day you'll be reading his sports colmnns. EDQVIUND IENKS Ed s one of those people who works hard at anything he does. He plays guard and tackle on the ootball team. Early in the spring you can see him dashing madly around the track getting into shape. 1oYcE Fosmck You don't have to see Joyce to know she's around, for no one could miss that mellow voice that became so famous as Aunt Emily and Mrs. Sorenson in the junior and sen- ior plays. JOAN JOHNSTON Io ------ an. Yep, there's our Ioanie, and if you are real nice to her maybe she'll knit something for you. Her smiling face and short curly blond hair are well known at C. H. S. HELEN FREY Helen came to us this year from Alpena, and we're certainly glad she did. Helen and her magic-symbols are a twice told tale around school and she sings like a lark in chorus too. MARIORY IONES Margie has been very active in basketball, but even more so in girls softball, so you ca.n easily see why she should be president of the G. A. A. We're sorry to say that she will be leaving us soon. GENE GREATHOUSE ' Mouse who starred in four sports will be best remembered for his .bullet-like basket- ball shooting. Also he made a good catcher for the baseball team even though he had a little trouble with pop ups. MARY KEELEAN If you've never seen a busy kid, take a look at Keelean here. What with having a job after school and dashing madly around collecting - various articles for the Hilltopper she still flashes a glowing smile. U! 11 MARILYN KENNEDY Marilyn is one of those seniors that keeps the school going. She has lots of pep and uses it to a good advantage. She did a swell job on the junior play and holds a first position on the basketball team. DONNA MC DERMOTT Donna is one of our promising senior athletes. She takes an interest in all sports, and accord- ing to reports does pretty well. You can tell that she's punctual, when bringing the absence report around. GERALD KIDDER Iere's wit and sense of humor have seen him through his days at CHS. A more likeable laughable person would be hard to find. He can be recognized by his frosted ski-boots and shining ickories. CHARLES MC GEE Clarkston 's gazelle boy proved' his worth throughout the school year despite his size. His light weight increased his speed so that he starred in football, basketball, and baseball. WAYNE LONGAIR Hartley , besides participating in four sports, was a star in Snafu. English students will re- call Pompeii Baltimore Iohnson's hectic exper- iences from Wayne's drawling lips. NOREEN MOORE Noreen 's part in the senior play was the envy of the senior class. She was her happy-go- lucky self as the sister of the ex G. I. She 's well known around school for her unusual grace and poise. WILLIAM O. LUDWIG Lud will be long remembered for his partici- pation in five sports. As Senator in the junior play he really speeded off some choicy bits of litg as president of the student council he did a masterful job. FRED MORTIMORE Mort, the sailor, is one of the few boys who can be classed under the tall, dark and ha.nd- dome category. He can tell many a tale of his seafar ng days, as he beats out a rhythm on the drums IO ANN MC CAFFREY Io Ann's likeable character and quiet disposi- tion make her a hit among her fellow students. She is attractive and neat and gets along well with all of her teachers. She just makes life worthwhile. IO ANN NORTON Here's a girl who's seen and not heard, and well remembered for it. Her quiet sincere smile is a blessing to all who gaze upon it, and we'll long think of her for it. 12 RONALD A. PEARSALL Here s a fellow who will never complain. Through all he comes up smiling. His beam- ing face can be seen greeting you as he,takes tickets at the Drayton Theater. Yes, he s a good friend to all. BARBARA RIOUX We can tell that Babs can stick to some- thing when we learn of her diligent scouting activities. She can really get aroxmd, and not only on a basketball floor. Babs is our sal- utatorian. MARY IO PETTENGILL The best things come in small packages and Josie is a good example alright. She kept A the class in order as president for four years and has been secretary in her senior year. ELLEN ROCKWELL Everybody knows and likes this little bundle of vim and vitality. She's short, it's true, but that doesn t hinder her, she can really handle the basketball during the girls games. RUBY LOU POTTER Ruby IS famous for those masterful oratlons she writes for English class. What about some hints, Ruby? She is one of those few lucky people who possess a rich sense of IVAN ROUSE The Jeff half of the comic duo is character- ized in Clarkston by Ivan. Sparky , his othe moniker, comes from his musical spark of gen- ius. All kidding aside, he can really handle a piano SHIRLEY POWELL We have our Pete Elliott ln Shirley Powell, the A number-one guard on our famous girl's basketball team. Shirley is one of those girls who are always as neat and clean as a pin. MARY R. SECAN Peachie came forth in beautiful form for both the jnmior and senior plays. Her artis- tic ability was shown in her colorful posters, and she lived up to her promise by being valedictorian. BETTYE RIEMENSCHNEIDER :hining blond hair and sharp attire mark this oyal senior. Her coming and going had us wondering: but now we are sure that Bettye ikes us ere, a.nd we're glad she came JACK SELBERG jack, better known as either 'Twinkle Toes, or ' Sleepy , gets night-life energy while sleeping through his favorite classes. Oh, yes, Twink plays a mean trumpet in the dance band. 13 BOB STITT Here's one fellow that ought to go to Holly- woodg right girls? Although Bo doesn't get alongt so wel in Chemistry class, he still hasn blown up the building. MARTIN I. WAGER Taxi is his pet cry as he bats about in the well known A' . His loveable personality and his ability to turn on a blush make him a fav- orite with all he meets. He is also class President. BARBARA TARLTON Barb, the half-day student, has a wide rang? of hobbies, and a flry temper. Her favorl hobby is men, and her pet aversion is band, although she plays a mean clarinet. BEVERLY WALSTEAD Although she is very quiet, Beverly is one of those people who makes friends easily. Her winning personality and her excelent schol- arship put her at the head of her class. BOB TRIM Don t let Bob s quiet, unassuming nature fool you, because when you get to know him he's full of fun, and considered tops by all. Bob was honored by being elected president of our first Varsity Club. RAT A. WATSON BS Trisha' did an outstanding job, this year, Mother in The Groom Said, Not, also being vice-president of her class and treasmer of the G. A. A. kept her unusually busy in her senior year. PAT I. WATSON Pat I. did an excelent job as Virgie, in the senior play, since she always works hard at anything she does., We'll always remember the good times we ve had at those swimming parties she gave.

We have sponsored many dances and have taken an active part in other school activities. Under our capable and well liked class advisor, Miss Mary Campbell, a clever play was produced called, Who Wouldn't be Crazy . Many elaborate plans have been made for our Junior-Senior Banquet which promises to be a success. Several of our juniors are outstanding in the field of music and sports while others excel in scholastics. We are very proud of our class and contrary to some reports, many think that it's one of the best. CLASS OF 1949 is lv ' ' HJ: ' zli... i. h i Qs- Top Row L. to R.--F. Tower, L. Masters, B. Fell, M.

Alene Richardson The Sophomore Class started their year by sponsoring the Ha1lowe'en dance, '.'The Harvest Moon Hop . Spike Masters and his band provided the music and it was a big success. - We ordered our class rings and received them before Christmas. They are quite plain, but everybody likes them. The boys were active in sports this year. There were two lettermen ln football, several in basketball and a few of the boys went out for baseball. For the carnival, the Sophomores had a Spook House, which drew a large crowd and seemed to scare everyone. Some of the members of the class also took part in the Athletic show and the plays. The Sophomores are finishing an eventful year and are looking forward to next year when they will be Juniors. CLASSOF I95O 1' Top Row L. to R.--C. Collins, G. McGee, R. Frazier, C. Morgan, D.

We gave the dance Snowman Shuffle on December 6, 1947, which was very successful. As the year changed the class changed sponsors. This time it was Miss Flynn from Normal College in Ypsilanti. We presented the Freshman Follies as our part of the school carnival and were pleased with the results. Amid parties, sports, and dances our class came through the year with fun and profit.

It was a great success due to the efforts of the Rotary Club and Council combined. Next was the New Year Eve's party with Spike Masters' Band, noise-makers, confetti and trimmings. A very enjoyable evening for all. The cloak room was given to the council for the All School Carnival with a very satisfactory profit. The Student Council of '48 tried its best to do the jobs set before it'. The job of faculty advisor to the Council was very capably filled by Mr. Laws. Ci-lA'l I'ERB OX STAFF Seated L. to R. -- B.

Suffering under the loss of several key musicians, Mr. Ladd, the director, came through with a small, but a snappy and well-balanced band. The concert was very successful under the circumstances and was enjoyed by every- body. CHORUS X First Row L. to R.--D. Wielder, I. Fuller, P. Riksen, L. Wilkinson, I. Norton, I. Clancy, D. Beals, B.

This year's C.H.S. chorus was quite ac- tive under the capable direction of our new director, Mr. Ladd. The chorus took part in the annual winter Band and Chorus concert for which they received quite favorable com- ment. The spring Ba.nd a.nd Chorus concert was even better, with the boy's quartet taking top honors. The operetta, also, was a great success. The choral group included fifty members, a.nd had a great deal of new music to work on during the year. mf? 34 BOY SCOUT S First Row L. to R.--Pete Thompson, Frank Keelean, Richard Huttenlocher, Danny Curry, Charles Robertson, Mike Thayer.

This has been our greatest season in the history of basketball of the Clarkston High School. We have been unbeaten in our league and have won the respect of many other teams in the county There are several reasons for this. The greatest is our coach, Ralph Doon Thayer. Without his understanding, his unfailing ability, his loyalty, and his spirit and pep, we could not possibly have a winning team in any field. Another asset is in the fact that we have had twelve able players, two complete teams. We have been known to win many a game in the last quarter be- cause we were never tired out. The players have worked as a team. They were a team. We are looking forward to greater seasons in this and other of the major sports.
