Coldwater High School - Cardinal Yearbook (Coldwater, MI)

Text from Pages 1 - 58 of the 1937 volume:

IN MEMORIAM Rex Waldren 1919-1957 We,the membersof the Annual Staff, affectionately pay tribute in this Dia- mond Jubilee Cardinal to the memory of our friend and schoolmate, Rex Waldren. Few students in four short years have established themselvesas firmly in the affections of his associates as did Rex Waldren. His gallant battle for twelve long weeks in the hospital was an inspiration to all who knew him. In spite of his affliction he was always as happy and cheerful as when he was in good health. Rex was born March l, l9l9,in Ovid Township. In l9Z2 he became a Fresh- man in Coldwater High School. During his high school career he became active in the High School Band and Hi-Y Club. He was elected to the National Quill and Scroll Society and appointed Editor-in- Chief of the Cardinal. WTO live in hearts we leave behind, Is not to die.W gl l, 17, 1 - T H E C A R D I N A L 1 June 1, 1937 Published by the students of Coldwater High School in commemoration of the Seventy-fifth Anniversary of the Coldwater High School, Coldwater, Michigan. 4 T H E C A R D I N A L PREFACE In the year 1862, a small group of far-sighted men and women founded an educational institution which has grown throughout the century into the Cold- water High School we know today. In this year of 1957 we are directing our thoughts over those seventy five years, in a celebration of progress and achievement. The Staff of the 1937 CARDINAL pre- sents this book to the students, fa- culty, and alumni of Coldwater High School, with the sincere hope that it records a true picture of its traf dition. T H E C A R D I N A L DEDICATION We, the Annual Staff, in behalf of the Students and Faculty of Coldwater High School dedicate this Cardinal to Robert E. Sharer Who explained truths, and facts, and laws, Who taught us education's trend, Who, Cmost important of all elsei, Is more than a teacher. He is a friend. 4 REX WALDHEN LELAND VANCE CHARLES KING-ZSLEY HA THEHINE BAL L Robin T Mix EDWIN ELLIGET Cf1.z3Ef2 T C. CLARKE ALICE Wu. TEH C A R D I N A L S T A F F When the Staff for the first annual in Coldwater High School in fifteen years was organized in February, Rex Waldren was chosen Editor-in-Chief. Unfortunately, plans were hardly launched when he was stricken with pneumonia and confined to the hospital for three months. In his absense Charles Kingsley was elected Acting Editor-in-Chief and continued in this capacity until the annual was completed. The Business Manager was Lee Vance. Lee had charge of financing the annual which was done by subscriptions and advertisements. He was ably assisted by Katherine Ball, Robert Mix, Alice Walters, and Gilbert Clarke. Edwin Elliget was Art Editor. When Robert Mix withdrew from High School to accept employment, Doris Addicks completed the work of preparing all copy for the printer.

One of the most important changes the Junior class has brought about this year is a plan for preparing for the Senior Washington trip. Usually the expense is put off until the last six months and then there is a scramble to get enough money. Under the new plan, the Junior class has a regular bank day. Each Tuesday the Juniors deposit what they can toward the trip and the small amounts total about 30.00 dollars deposited every week by the whole Junior class. On April 50, the Junior play was presented to a good audience. This play was directed by Miss Marian Mc Lean. The play title was, NYours Truly, Wi1lie.H The annual Junior Senior Prom. was given by the Juniors on May 14. The party consisted of a banquet, entertainment, games, and danc- ing. T H E C A R D I N A L GLASS OF 1989 The officers for the Sophomore Class this year are, President, William Hilborgs Vice president, Raymond Myersg Secretary and Treasurer combined, Hylen Travers. The major event of the year was a Christmas party, on December 23rd. The party con- sisted of a program of entertainment in the auditorium and then dancing in the gym. The four Sophomore home rooms have been enjoying the very active work of planning assemblies. T H E C A R D I N A L CLASS OF 1940 The 9th grade is just like the 7th and 8th except in one respect, instead of having three home rooms the 9th grade is divided into 4 rooms with 4 supervisors and four repre- sentatives in the council. The four teachers assigned to the home rooms are Miss Gretchen Schultz, Miss Edna Terpening, Mr. Kermit Dennis, and Mr. Lloyd Latchaw. The four repre- sentatives in the student council are, Wayne Archer, Rosella Wheeler, Mary Ellen Snyder, and Margaret Miller. Like the other Junior high grades, the 9th grade had one major party of the year. This party was held one April 9th, and through the efforts of all four of the home rooms turned out to be a gala affair. There was the usual banquet and after this entertainment, dancing and games in the gym T H E C A R D I N A L CLASS OF 1941 The Sth grade is made up of three home rooms each with a teacher assigned as supervisor and with a representative from each room in the student council. The three teachers having charge of the Sth grade home rooms are, Miss Evelyn Squire, Miss Bernice Lazenby, and Mr. Kenneth Kline. The three representatives in the student council are, Jim Murray, Billy Monday, and Dick Kerr. The first semester the 8th grade used the UC.H period the same as the rest, then at the start of the second semester the Junior high school being dissatisfied with the C. period as it was set up changed it. The program now in all three grades was to have several groups each with a different hobby or activity on which they concentrated. Some of the choices were dramatics, model building, gardening, sewing, and dancing. On April 16, the 8th grade had the major party of the year, all three home rooms cooper- ating to make it possible. T H E C L R D I N A L CLASS OF 1942 Each of the grades in the Junior High School is divided into home rooms, with the repre- sentation in the student council of one person from each room. The 7th grade is divided into three home rooms under the supervision of Miss Rose Slee, Mr. Donald Bauer, and Miss Mel- issa Semelroth. The three representatives in the Junior high student council from the 7th grade are, Pauline Gilfillen, Charles Gray, and John Woodward. The UC.W periods the first semester were devoted to Safty Education two days out of the week, on Monday, anything that they wanted to do, on Wednesday, Moving pictures, and on Fridays, a Junior high assembly. The Major event of the year for the 7th grade was the party, on April 23, made pos- sible through the combined efforts of the three home rooms. Y -- - -- 24 T H E C A R D I N A L To commemorate the seventy-fifth birthday was held consisting of a banquet and a program which was of food. W . sw, fal?g4, as 52 fa-:Qi DIAMOND JUBILEE of the Coldwater High School a Diamond Jubilee of speakers, songs and stunts. The banquet held in the gym was made possible by each home room contributing a certain amount After the meal each Home Room sang a song and gave its yell. Next on the program was a speech of welcome by John T. Symons, followed by a short talk, composed of reminiscence by Mr. A. J. Pratt, President of the Board of Education. The highlight of the afternoon was a speech by Dr. Eugene B. Elliott, the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. This program was followed by a joint convocation of Junior and Senior High School in the Roosevelt School by Hutchins, S. Smith: Bowerman: Auditorium. The program was varied. The High School Song, History of our High John Van Akeng songs by the Michigan Corn Huskers, Bill Davis, Holland Fenner, Lee and John Herlg the Tumbling Team, Osborn, Dorrance, Belger, Cofer, M.

The goals of the nresent Student Council were to clear up the school debt, which was made up of the athletic debt and the moving picture machine, to have assemblies every week and exchange assemblies with different towns in the county. It was also proposed to have matinee dances every week. The school debt has been almost taken care of by the school Circus of last November. The Student Council also invited several prominent people for an all day discussion with the ltudents. - V An after game dance was arranged in cooperation with the Board of Education.

The council has revised the hall monitor system in the Junior High until it is now highly systemitized and efficient. It sponsored the program of special activities in the nC.H periods such as, social dancing, gardening, fancy work, model building, and dramaticln 1 T H E C A R D I N A L MIRROR STAFF Standing, left to right - Edna Eggleston, feature editor, first semester, Robert Mix, sports editor, first semester: Lois Tase, feature editor, second semester: Seated, left to right, Robert Belger, editor-in-chief, first semester: Harold Klink, sports editor, second semester: Philip Dorrance, editor-in-chief, second semester.

The Hi-Y Club of Coldwater High School originated December 7, 1920, when the first mem- bers were initiated by the Hillsdale Hi-Y. The first leader was Lester O. Good. The Hi-Y is a division of the Y. M. C. A. The motto is Clean Speech, Clean Scholarship, Clean Athletics, and Clean Living. The officers for this year are: Bill Williams, Fresidentg Roy Linton, Vice-presidentg Ross Bowerman, Treasurer, and Howard Titus, Secretary. Outstanding among this years activities was the sending of eleven delegates to the Older Boy's Conference which was held at Pontiac in December, and the sending of twenty delegates to the Conference on Religion held at Hillsdale. Other activities were, a party at Bob Shaw's house, the initiation of the Junior High Torch Club, and the annual Campfire at Rose Lake, where the officers turned their duties over to the newly elected officers.

The Junior Hi-Y officers of this year are, Daniel Wood, Presidentg Jack Bowerman, Vice- president: Charles Swihart, Secretary, John Van Aken, Treasurer: Dan Hard, Dick Maxfield, Mark VanAken, and Joe Cook, Councilman. This fall eighteen of the.Junior High boys were initiated into the club, by the Senior Hi-Y. Later on in the season The Senior and Junior Hi-Y Clubs, were together again for a doughnut supper. An important part of the Clubs activities is formed by a congenial party on the second Sunday of every month at the home of one of the boys. Like the Senior Hi-Y, the Juniors were represented at the Older Boy's Conference at Pontiac. They sent Two boys, Dan Hard and Oliver Marion. T H E C A R D I N A L GLEE CLUB The Senior High glee club has been in existence for several years, but only in the last two has it become very active. It was started about five years ago by Mr. W. Leslie Williams a former high school faculty member. For the last two years, however, Miss Mae Lindenman has been its director. In the last two years they have put on two operettas and sponsored several other pro- grams. The first operetta was one written by Edward Bradley and Don Wilson entitled UTune inn. The second was the one given this year called UTrial By Juryu, by the famous team of Gilbert and Sullivan. The proceeds of all these undertakings were spent for the purchase of new robes for the organization. They have been worn in several public appearances and have always been very impressing. These robes are of wine red silk with a white satin stole. T H E C A R D I N A L TUMBLING CLUB Top row, left to right, Bob Belger, Morris Smith, Philip Dorrance, Dick Osborn, Art Kofer. Bottom row, left to right, Arline Pasque, Joy Moody, Mr. Russel Green, Sumner Smith, June Sissem. This tumbling team was started last year, by Mr. Green, purely as a means of recreation. It was revived again this year to take part in the school circus. As Philip Dorrance and Dick Osborn were the only veterans left over from last year, the bulk of the team were entirely new at the sport. In spite of this handicap, the team progressed rapidly and was one of the star attractions of the school circus. The team has made trips to Ypsilanti and Notre Dame, in search of perfection in tumbling. Here they sam tumbling at its best and were helped to iron out the many kinks that were bothering them. Their routine now numbers almost 30 different tricks and present an almost professional appearance. Mr. Green says that tumbling will be continued. Tumbling will always remain entirely ex- tra-curricular and no letters will be given for it. T H E C A R D I N A L F. F. A. CLUB The Coldwater Chapter of the National Future Farmers of America was organized in 1934. Only rural boys may join. In order to become a Future Fanmer, each boy is required to have twenty-five dollars in the bank under his own name or its equivalent in property. Ee must also have completed successfully a year in agriculture, be enrolled in an agriculture class and complete a project each year. Since organizing, the club has been active. The boys formed a basketball team and played with the teams from Chapters in neighboring towns. This year they sent their president, Homer Moore, to the National F. F. A. Convention at St. Louis. Mr. Lloyd Latchaw, the agriculture teacher, is leader and advisor of the club. Delmer Haynes was elected vice-president: Clarence Woods, secretary: Lyle Tase, treasurer: and Milo Stolp, reporter. T H E C A R D I N A L GIRL RESERVES The officers are, President, Doris Addicksg Vice-President, Mary Givang Secretary and Treasurer, Jean Benedict. The Com ittee heads are, Social, Eleanor Wilburg Program, Barbara Watsong Food, Elinor Kirkpatrick: Finance, Betty Wiseg Welfare, Dorothy Dibbertg Music, Alice Walters: Initiation, Melissa Martin. At the beginning of the school year a new system was tried by dividing the girls into different hobby groups two out of four nights of the month. However the girls didn't like this so they soon changed back to all meeting together. The biggest event of the year was the state conference at Lansing which Mavis Wood and Doris Addicks attended. There have been several parties this year for girls themselves. They have also contributed thanksgiving baskets to the poor people of the town.

The Debate team finished one of the most successful seasons of the last several years this year. They won six out of ten decision debates and entered twenty non-decision debates. They won third nlace in the Twin Valley Conference, which gave them a chance to enter the State tournament. In the Conference at Kalamazoo, our team won three out of their four debates In the State tournament, we won from Quincy and then were beaten and eliminated by Britton. For getting into the State tournament our school received a wooden placque. In years before debate teams from this school have won one of these. In addition to the placque, each debater receives a small lapel button to wear.

Bottom row, left to right, Katherine Ball, Eleanor Lowry, Margaret Hillborg, Doris Addicks, Alice Wingard, Arline Belger, Beatrice Waggener. Much to the disfavor of both, Elaine Ellis and Felix Mudge were engaged by their parents to each other practically before they were born. In the first few minutes of his stay at the Ellis home Felix discovers that Elaine is the girl with whose face he fell in love when he saw it on a magazine cover. Knowing that, as Felix Mudge, Elaine will never love him, he changes places with a friend of his. After many riotous complications, one of which is the arrest of Felix on a charge of bigamy, he discloses his true identity and all ends well for those concerned. The proceeds of this production went to the students who planned to take the Washington trip in June.

The Orchestra was started about ll years ago. It was organized by Miss Rose Stef- faniak as an extra-curricular activity. It was a small group and practiced entirely out- side of school. After about a year of work under Miss Steffaniak, the group was taken over by Mr. Fay Jucket. He had it about four years in all and in 1929 the Orchestra was made a part of the school curriculum and partial credit was given to members. After Mr. Jucket, the organization was under the instruction of Mr. Richards. Mr. Richards was here for one year, was then succeeded by Mr. Byron Stroup. Mr. Stroup has taught this course ever since. The Orchestra has played for three major events this year. They are in order, the Senior play, the Style Show, and the annual Band and Orchestra concert.

Mr. Charles F. Hamilton, the Superintendent of schools started it, with Mr. Fay Jucket as Director. Mr. Jucket was suc- ceeded by Mr. Richards and then the present teacher Mr. Byron Stroup took over the instruc- tion. The highlight of this year for the band, has been the purchasing of new uniforms. The money for the uniforms has been earned principally by the band, and the Coldwater Rotary club, with help from many other organizations in Coldwater. Besides playing in the annual band and orchestra concert the band has played for all the football games. Mr. D. D. Bryan was elected Business manager this year and Jim Tompkins was elected drum major.

Although better than last year, our football team suffered another disasterous season with a total of two victories out of eight games. The following are the scores in order, Coldwater 7, Jackson 32: Coldwater O, Dowagiac 19 Coldwater 7, Marshall 53: Coldwater O, Albion 25: Coldwater 6, Adrian O3 Coldwater 12, Hills- dale 6: Coldwater O, Sturgis 20. Ed Stretz was elected Honorary Captain of the 1936 Football team. Ed was a senior, and has played football for three years, winning three varsity letters. Stretz was also elected all-conference tackle and had honorary mention on the all-state team. Forty-nine boys received letters this year, eighteen of these being varsity. T H E C A R D I N A L BASKETBALL TEAM One of the fastest and most brilliant basketball teams we have had in many years finished this year tied with the Marshall Redskins for second place, in the Twin Valley Conference. The scores of the Conference games that were playedg Coldwater 31-Adrian 17, Coldwater 23 Sturgis 27, Goldwater 37-Hillsdale 23, Coldwater 46-Lakeview ll, Coldwater 18-Marshall 17, Coldwater 25-Adrian 21, Coldwater 36-Albion 38, Coldwater 19-Sturgis 40, Coldwater 32-Lake- view 23, Coldwater 28-Hillsdale 20, Coldwater 27-Marshall 20. Besides the Conference games we played two games with Battle Creek, losing the first 25-31 and winning the second 35-27. The team won the Class B. District Tournament Championship by defeating Hillsdale 33-19. We entered the regional tournament, defeating East Lansing 35-30, but our hopes were blasted when the Marshall Redskins, defeated us 20-25, which automatically dropped us from the champ- ionship race. Harold Klink and Bob Shaw played their last game for Coldwater in this game at Albion. B A S E B A L L T E A M First Row--H. Hauska, H. Greenich, C. Sanders, L. Wood, P. Weaver, C. Wheeler, H.

For the fourth successive season, Coldwater High School has sponsored interscholastic baseball as a major sport. The present season is the first in which the Twin Valley Con- ference has openly recognized baseball as a conference sport. During the past two years the High School Association has been purchasing equipment until at present eighteen boys are completely outfitted for baseball. The start of the present season was disappointing because the continued wet weather caused the postponement of the first three games. However, the team, once it got under way, acquitted itself very well. Ten games were played: two each with Albion, Marshall, Adrian, Sturgis, and Hillsdale High Schools. Mr. Donald Bauer acted as Coach and was ably assisted by Mr. Grigg. T R A C K T E A M First How--W. Wood, C. Vinton, R. Bowerman, B. O'Neil, B. Simonds, R. Fenner. Second Row--M. Smith, P. Weaver, W. Treat, C. Wheeler, S. Smith, Mr. Green. Although only a few boys responded to Coach Russell Green's appeal for track men, the track team participated in more meets than any Cardinal track team has in ten years. The Cardinal Thinclads competed in track and field meets at Marshall High School, Albion College, Three Rivers High School, Union City High School, and Howe Military School For the first time in many years the Coldwater High School track team boasted brand new track suits of white, trimmed in Cardinal red. Coach Green began coaching track in Coldwater High School ten years ago. One of his first track men was LeRoy Potter, who for many years held undisputed state and national records in the mile run. T E N N I S T E A M First Row--F. Weeks, H. Wingard, C. Kingsley, D. Davis, P. Dorrance, R. Shaw. Second Row--W. Marothy, J. VanAken, N. Moore, F. Speaker, H. Woodward, M. VanAken. Because Coldwater High School was fortunate for the first time in history in having five brand new macadam tennis courts, the Twin Valley Conference Tennis Tournaments were held in Coldwater on May 15. Five conference schools participated. In addition to the Conference Tournaments, the Cardinal Tennis Players competed against Battle Creek, Howe Military Academy, and Sturgis High School, in dual meets. It is hoped that another year the High School may be able to sponsor both a girls' and a boys' interscholastic tennis squad. Coach Fred Weeks will make initial preparations for this next September with a well-planned Intramural Tennis Tournament. A . 44' W 4' 11 Q Y -' , mf. ii xv ,.
