5 ! J J I f v W .1 1 TheI955 COLUMBIAN Columbiaville High School Columbiaville, Michigan The Columbiaville-Otisville-Otter Lake School Reorganization Project Story For many years the towns of Colurnbiaville, Otisville, and Otter Lake: and their rural districts have wanted to unite their districts into one big school district in which a high school would be built to give the pupils a better education, better facilities, and a wider variety of subjects to choose from. The new school would give a complete program of agriculture, industrial arts, home economics, and college preparatory courses. The people were looking for a school that would be one of the best and most modern of any school in either Genesee or Lapeer Counties. On October 23, 1954, the people from the town and rural districts voted whether to re- organize and build a new school. They voted an emphatic Yes. On December 11, 1954, an election was held to determine the new Board of Education. Elected were: Archie Hunter of Otter Lake: Arthur Elliott from the Genesee Rural Dis- tricts: Elma Blue of Columbiavilleg Clyde Ross of the Lapeer Rura1,Districts: and Lawrence Lyon of Otisville..The new Board formed all the districts into one known as District No. 21. A contest was started to decide upon the name of the new school. The Board-will select the name and a 525.00 United States Savings Bond will go to the one submitting it. The Board received applications from candidates for the new Superintendent's position. Chosen was Mr. Dalton Coe.. Mr. Coe?was born in Lapeer County and graduated from Otter Lake High School. Upon graduation, he attended the Lapeer County Normal School. From there he went to Michigan Normal College to receive his Bachelor of Science Degree, and the University of Michigan, where he received his Master's Degree. He was Principal at Farmington and Milford, and has been Superintendent at Three Oaks since 1950. Mr. Coe is married and has four children. Although we are sorry to see Columbiaville High School pass out of existence, we are happy that the people of District No. 21 have taken a stride forward for the education of their children. t Q' SCHOOL, BOARD LEFT TO RIGHT: L. Lyon. A. Elliott, E. Blueg A. Hunter, C. Ron N 'Mr. Dalton Coe. Superintendent We, the Senior Class of 1955 dedicate our Columbian to Mr. Percy Shunck-- , , --better known to the students and citiaens of Columbiaville as Pete. Mr. Shunck was 'born in Oscoda, Michigan on October 30,l883, the son of Dr. and Mrs. J. D. Shunck. When he was about a year old his family moved to Trinidad, Colorado where his father pursued his profession of dentistry. The family moved back to Michigan two years later and settled in Bay City where Pete attended School. After he had finished school, his adventures took him to the Great Lakes where he sailed on Lake ships for about fifteen years. In 1913, he moved to Florida and lived there until 19l6. When the First World War broke out, he enlisted in the United States Navy. After his discharge, he again went back to the Great Lakes. With the Depression of 1929, he came to Columbiaville and worked at the local woolen mill as a weaver. This was his occupation until 1936, when he became employed at Columbia- ville High School as custodian. He stayed with us until he retired at the end of the school year of 1954. Many students, past and present, will always remember him as the kind and helpful man he is. ,He has helped many a student to find his way in the world with his keen knowledge of children. It is a great pleasure to dedicate our Columbian to this man.

Last of all came Baccalaureate, Class Night, and then the great day of Commencement. Our happy days at Columbiaville High School were over. Class Will We, the Senior Class of One Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifty-Five, being of sound mind and joyous memory after these last four strenuous and hard years.: and realizing that we are about to pass through the portals into the land of tomorrow, do hereby make this as our last and best will and testament, revoking any and all former wills by us at any time heretofore made. The Senior Class leaves to the Faculty of Columbiaville High School our great in- telligence. From experience we know that they will need it, for we know it has been a hard task to keep all of the students in step. To the Junior Class we leave our now empty treasury book and hope that next year you can build up as high an account as we did this year, so that you will be able to go on a short trip, maybe to Potter's Lake, for a day or two. To the Sophomore Class, the Seniors will their orderly classes so that hereafter the Sophomores will be able to get something accomplished in them. To the Freshman Class, the Seniors will their utmost sympathy, honesty, brains, and quietness, as we know they will need all of them to get along with the teachers next year.

Class Prophecy As I sat in front of the fireplace smoking my pipe with my two Great Danes beside me, I began to wonder if the rest of my classmates had faired as well as I. I guess 100 acres of Florida shore 'line would be called doing well. I decided that I would start calling them. First of all, I called Charlene Matzenbach who was living with her Five Star General husband, Kenneth, a career man in the infan- try. could only talk to her a few minutes, because in Fort Knox the time of the calls are limited. She told me that Mr. and Mrs. Bill Kreger had been to visit them last week, and I could get in touch with them at the luxurious Hotel Fontainbleau at Miami. I then called Miami and talked to Bill. He said that he and Barb were sailing to Europe to see June Forrest. Bill was anxious to get back to Michigan and the Michigan Lumber Company of which he was now sole owner. I then tried to contact June Forrest in France. While I was waiting for my connection I picked up the paper and much to my surprise read where Glenn Chapman had tried to land on the North Pole with his E-106 Hydrogen plane and came down in Africa. He was going so fast and had such a tail wind that the first thing he knew he was in Africa. Just then the phone rang and a sweet voice with a very French accent greeted me. It was June Forrest DuPont. We talked only a short time as she had to take the King and Queen of England for a ride in her ocean liner yacht. My next call was to Africa and Glenn Chapman. He said that he had seen Clinton Crum setting up the first prefabricated city for the North Pole. Glenn said I could con- tact Clint at Clintville, North Pole. He also told me that Jerry Miner was a mechanic for the Russian Government. A call to Moscow, Russia, was next on my list, but before I could put it through, I was surprised by a phone call from Clinton Crum. I talked to Clint for quite awhile about old times, his wife, and his two sets of twins: and then he asked me if I remembered Ellen Covey. It seems she was going to do all the house work for the city he was setting up. I asked Clint to bring Ellen to the phone. I found out that she was married and had five children--all boys. She also told me that Ron Myers had spent so much time working on Wayne Co11ier's car in his Senior year that he had gone into the repair business and now owned 1,000 car repair and muffler shops all over the U.S. My following conversation was with .Terry Miner in Moscow. He said it was O. K. to talk but we had to be careful what we talked about or he might be liquidated. I told him Wayne Collier had taken to automobile racing and was favored at the big 500 mile track at Indianapolis in the 2,500 mile race next Sunday. Then we were suddenly disconnected. The next voice that greeted me said, Ron Myers, owner of Myers' Muffless Muf- flers. Ron informed me that he had made a Million dollars on his invention and expected much more. I told him my invention of a Fordillac car had been prosperous for me, too. I then said good-by to Ron. I began thinking how well all my classmates had done. Then, as though he were very far away, I could hear Mayne calling me. He was trying to get me awake sol could go on the Senior Trip with the rest of the class.
