Way back in 1936, four happy little souls came skipping up the walk leading to Clarkston's great Institution of Learning. These merry little souls were Johnny Adams, Imogene Potter, Spence Butters, and Mary Porritt. Through the first year of school they struggled, learning to draw, color and sing. Poor little ole Imogene always had to be tied to her chair when she ate her lunch so she wouldn't run all over the room talking to her little boy-friends. The first grade was spent learning reading and writing and the A.B.C.’s. In the second grade quiet little Mary Lee Volberding joined the class. Everything went well until the third grade when Floyd Towers, Dave Leak, Le Roy Johnson, and little Dave Yoh joined the class. This is the year that Dave Leak, not yet acquainted as to where the facilities of the school were located, embarrassed himself by living up to his name ---Leak. Remember David? And Dave Yoh was a regular little Romeo to all the little Juliets. To the fourth grade was added Patsy Riksen. Between Mrs. Beardsley’s stiff rules, Mary, Pat and Imogene always managed to have their daily squabbles. The class will never forget the time Imogene stuck up for Mary, and cut a hole in Pat’s new red sweater. The only addition to our class in the fifth grade was our brand new, good looking teacher, Miss Fisher. You can be sure that all the boys were on their best behavior. This was the year that the boys challenged the sixth grade to a hot game of baseball. At one o'clock the game was tied but all the players fought to the end until Miss Fisher came running out and broke up the game. In the sixth grade, just as little Lord Fauntleroy (Spence Butters) was enchanting all the little ladies with his violin he left us and moved to New York. By this time several little romances were beginning to bloom. Some of these were Floyd and Mary, Imogene and Dave Leak, Mary Lee and Dave Yoh, John and Mary Lou Gunter, while poor little Le Roy just sat and looked on. Often times these gruesome little twosomes could be seen enjoying the movies. Our heroes, the safety patrol boys, always looked forward to that baseball game which they saw for their courageous services throughout the year. Then came the seventh grade. Great day of days, for we were now junior high school students.The re were several new students joining us this year. These were Regina Jennings, Janet Keelean, Don Dubats, Albert Beni, Phyllis Weyer, Dave Saxman, Barbara Warden and Lois Baynes. By this time we were becomingquite a big class. All of us remember the home room period when teachers and students combined chased each other over and under tables to their hearts delight. Slowly we proceeded another step and upon entering the eighth grade Spence Butters came back to join our class. Everyone studied like good boys and girls this year looking for the day they would receive their Eighth Grade Diplomas. On this day the boys wore their best suits and the girls their new summer dresses. A very nice program was planned with the parents attending. Mr. Brablec presented us with our diplomas. When we entered the ninth grade we really thought we were getting up in the world. We picked up a few more students. They were Geraldine Fuller, Dorman and Joan Clancy, Spike Masters, Dan Keating, Joan Gorman and Richard Allen. Most of these new students came from Waterford and Drayton. This year we sponsored our first dance which was called the “Freshman Frappe. H Under the guidance of Miss Margaret Kloock, this dance proved to be a great success. Our class officers this year were-Joan Gorman, President; Regina Jennings,Vice-President; Mary Nell Brooks, Secretary; and Richard Allen, Treasurer. The year passed quickly and soon we were Sophomores . . . Additions were Bob Fell, Lolita Wilkinson, Dorothy Curry, Nelvin Miller, and Yvonne Thayer. Class Officers were-Spike Masters, President; Phyllis Weyer, Vice-President; Joan Gorman, Secretary; and Floyd Tower, Treasurer. Events of the year were the successful Halloween Dance which we sponsored and our lending a helping hand to the Seniors at their Jr.-Sr. Banquet ... we served, and then, ah! that party at Joan Gorman’s! Upon becoming Juniors, Alan and Don Healy, Gilbert Wells, Pat Doyle, Joe Sutton and Nancy Cogger, joined our fast-climbing ranks. Officers this year were-John Adams, President; Bob Fell, Vice-President; Regina Jennings, Secretary; and Floyd Tower, Treasurer. Our capable class sponsor, Miss Mary Campbell, guided us through a very successful year. She also directed our play, “Who Wouldn’t Be Crazy? which was enjoyed by all. Also, we gave a very successful banquet for the Class of ’48, thus bidding them farewell. At last! Our goal has been reached. We are now the mighty Seniors of ’49, alias the “49ers. To complete our class we were joined by Jim Baker, Bernita Mills, Barbara Baker, and Millie Abbott. The first event of the year was our play, Three Days of Gracie’’ which was a huge success under the direction of Miss Carey and Miss Bennett. Our next great accomplishment was the Harvest Home Supper and Bazaar which raised our funds considerably. On March 25 everyone enjoyed themselves at the Annual Senior Prom which was very gay and carried out a southern theme. All of us ate heartily at the Junior-Senior Banquet and had a wonderful time at the dance afterwards. Finally, the day for our trip rolled around and we were all very excited. A grand time was enjoyed by all on our visit to many of the high-lights in Washington and we were sorry to have to come home, for we knew what was waiting for us. Final exams. However, we all passed and then the day came we had been waiting for, for 13 years. Graduation. As each of us received our long-awaited diplomas, we recalled all the many events that had come down with us through the years. It was a happy but reminiscent group that passed, for the last time as a class, through the portals of our Clarkston High School, into the big world awaiting them. 13 (fluents 1.

B A $ i A BASEBALL SUMMARY FOR 48 SEASON The Clarkston wolves opened the season with Detroit Country Day. Country Day scored on several errors in the first innings of the game. However, Clarkston played tight ball from this point on, came to life with a run burst, but still fell one run short to lose 7 to 6. The next game the wolves traveled to Waterford and defeated them, 5 to 2. Both teams played errorless ball and this game was just a matter of who could hit. The next game with Log Cabin the wolves’ mighty sluggers seemed to have little trouble with Cabin pitcher and came out with a 6 to 3 decision. The following game the wolves traveledto Auburn Heights. In the earlyinnings the Clarkston batters had trouble with the opposing pitcher who threw a wide hook. They soon found, however, that he could not control this very well, and that it was the only thing he had and came out with a 5 to 2 decision for Clarkston. Big Beaver traveled to Clarkston to challangethe wolves who were leading their respective league. Beaver pitched a little southpaw that the Clarkston batters seemed to like and they slammed out a 13 to 1 decision over him. Clarkstonnow startingits second run through the league schedule, traveled to Log Cabin.
