We hope you are farcing well in our absence, and will continue to be the outstanding school that you were when we left. We are glad to say that each and every one of us is gainfully employed, and properly carrying on through the ability and training that was developed in us during our High School career. We have heard well of your achievements this past year and are proud of you because of them. Our class members have been out of school a year, and they have been face to face with the proposition of finding and filling a position. We find that what is needed is an excellent training along some line. The daily march of our nations business needs and demands men and women of outstanding achievement and ambition. Because of this, our bit of advice to you is: Take advantage of your opportunity to the fullest extent, and when you are handed your diploma, lx able to look back and say, “I have received with an open-mind the best Com- stock High can give; ami I am ready now to pass on to bigger things.” Sometimes we are led to believe that the fun we receive from our school life is the es- sential derivative, but actual investigation shows that the people appointed to any positions are those who posses a wealth of knowledge. We are convinced that the way this can be attained is through conscientious study. We hope you can use these bits of truth that we have discovered, but it has been said that, “experience is the best teacher.” You, too, will have many of the same problems that we have had, when you have com- pleted your work at Comstock High; and your ability to solve these problems will depend on your own preparation and achievements.

HOWARD MONTAGUE .}rcat thoughts like great deeds need no trumpet. VALEDICTORY Howard Montague “Good Work Brings the Greatest Happiness. Ladies and Gentlemen: Finishing high school at the present time, we are very fortunate to have had the benefit of a good system of education. Every city. town, or community in America has good schools placing within the reach of all the advantages of public school education. The world’s progress is accomplished, not by steady, stately strides, but by leaps and bounds, separated by periods of comparative quiet and apparent retrogression. In the same manner development of our educational system has taken place. Periods of greatest business activity usually have been followed, only several years later, by educational progress. It is our good fortune to have gone through high school during one of these periods of educational progress. As the result of modern ideas of education our time in school has been well adapted to the things that will best enable us to advance along lines which will ultimately bring happiness into the work we find ourselves doing. Instead of making the pupils fit the courses, the courses have been made to fit the pupils. Because we have been permitted to select in part our studies, we have spent part of our time working at things in which we have had a vital personal interest entirely apart from their educational value. Everywhere today there are people who apparently have the idea that the world owes them a living, and they are out to collect it. They have no notion to carry on any useful occupation while they are going through life. Properly planned education should stimulate every person in doing some kind of work which is of the most interest to that individual. Happiness through work is the creed of our time. Everyone wants work now. The more work, the more happiness; the better work, the more happiness. Our present system of education has taught us that in position there is wealth and that in work there is dignity; furthermore, the better work people do the happier they are while doing it. In the Atlantic Ocean there is a stream flowing from the Gulf of Mexico northward. If we cast a bottle into that stream near the coast of Florida it would probably eventually reach England; but several years would have passed before it got there, and no one could tell what part of the British Isles it would reach. A steamer, directed by the intelligence of a trained mind, can make the same voyage in a week. The steamer is like the man who knows definitely what he wants in life and goes steadily in that direction, something the drifting bottle or a man of indecision could never do. With the closing of this occasion today we cease to exist as a high school class and it becomes my duty to say farewell. We say farewell to the Board of Education which has so ably directed the school system. To the members of the faculty we say farewell. They have been our good friends as well as our instructors. To our parents we do not say farewell, but we wish to thank them for making possible for us a good public school education. Classmates, we may say farewell, but there is no farewell among us. As we go our different ways in our lives to come, we will always be held together by the common pos- session of the principles ami ideals taught in this school.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1932. fifty very frightened freshies ascended the steps of the greatly re- nowned Comstock High School and decorated the assembly with bright-colored dresses and shirts, and fifty very white faces. The first thing this great class did was to elect its class officers. They were as fol- lows. President. David Parsons; Vice-president, L. G. Morrison; Secretary and Treasurer, Leone Logsdon. The second Friday after the beginning of school our very confident freshmen boys pulled the over-confident sophomores through the cool waters of tlie pond. At the end of the week during which the freside girls suffered through their initiation, the sophomores gave us a reception at which we were decidedly the under-dogs. After coming through our first year with very few scratches, we ascended the golden ladder of educatkm with a much smaller class than when we started. Again we were successful winners of the great annual tug-of-war, giving the freshics a cool though unappreciated ducking in the pond. This year our class officers were: Presklent, Helen Dunlap; Vice-President, Wilma Slager; Secretary and Treasurer, June Giddings. One of our girls. Pauline Kakabaker, was crowned Carnival Queen at the annual School Carnival. In the year 1934, a worldly-wise class of dignified Juniors seated themselves in a very self-satisfied manner among the upper-classmen. Our class officers this year were: President, Denman Smith; Vice-President, David Parsons; Secretary and Treasurer, Pauline Kakabaker. Again one of our girls. Helen Dunlap, became Carnival Queen. Our Junior Play, “Romance A I-a Mode,” went over with a big bang. During our three years in high school we have been well represented in athletics by the following: L. G. Morrison. Denman Smith, Russell Noble, Kenneth Robb, Pauline Kakabaker, Helen Dunlap, Virginia Wilson. David Parsons, Harriet House, and Charles Sutton. Now we are looking forward to our last year in good old Comstock High. We feel that we have done our share so far, but perhaps, we can do better next year, when we seat ourselves in “Loafers Row’ and rule over our inferior under-classmen.

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY One clear September morn in 1933 about thirty green freshies came trailing into the assembly hall. Shortly after the beginning of school we held a class meeting in which the following officers were chosen: Maynard Douglas..............................................President Perley Willett .........................................Vice-President Betty Heckema. ..............................................Secretary Thelma Palmer ...............................................Treasurer We chose Mr. Hochne as our class advisor. The Sophomores soon set about the task of initiating us. At the annual tug-of-war our boys were overwhelmed by the Sophomore boys. This was followed bv the Freshman reception at which we were duly initiated. Most of the boys and girls in our class went out for basketball. A few of the boys also went out for football and baseball. Near the end of the first semester Mary and Wesley White joined our class. At the end of the year we discarded our green color and became sophisticated Sophomores. 1 his fall our class with the exception of Maynard Douglas returned, a more experienced group than we had been at that time a year before. Donald Heystek and Nellie Merchant joined our class and again we started the year with an election of officers which were as fol- lows : Frances Brennan ............................................President Jack Bellisle ....................................... Vice-President Betty Heckema ............................................. Secretary Nellie Merchant ............................................Treasurer As it is customary for the Sophomores to do, we set about initiating the Frcshies. We defeated the Freshie boys in the tug-of-war, and then began the plans for a reception. The reception soon took place (which greatly relieved the Freshies). When the time for the carnival arrived, we divided our class into two sides and tried to defeat one another in the sale of tickets. The sides were led by Frances Brennan and Wendell Petto. Wendell’s side was the winner. We celebrated this with an enjoyable theater party to which we invited the Freshman class. I 14] Rack Row—Nickolas Blaauw, Jack Vernay.

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY Of the forty-four giggling girls and bashful boys that compose our intelligent Fresh- man class this year, twenty have been class mates since they entered school. Several mem- bers have graduated to our class from the Sophomore group, and othirs have joined us along the way. The joy of our boys upon entering high school was dampened somewhat by a thorough wetting in the pond the day of the “Tug of War.” The “Sophfemmes” did a rather neat job of making our fair sex look utterly silly and exceedingly undignified during initiation week. We have all recovered however, and we are now in splendid physical health. Wc have been well represented in extra-curricular activities. We have had eight big, brawny individuals on the football squad (subs mostly), and four men on the second basket- ball team. We were represented in football by Baker. Foster, ami Schippers, and in basket- ball our heros were Blaauw, Smith and Waldo. Sanded, Schippers, and Waldo were our home run hitters on the base ball team. Our patch-ball team goes better unmentioiKd. The fair sex of the Freshies have stood out, too. Thelma Browers, our silver-tongued orator-ess, won by sheer eloquence the first place in the Sub-District Declamation Contest. The Amazons to receive honorable awards in basketball were Betty Bunting, Maxine West- brook, Katherine Whipple, Dorothy Dunlap, and Phyllis Miller. Whipple and Dunlap played an outstanding game in basketball. Miss Miller who is gifted with a long reach and legs built for sprinting dragged down a position on the tennis doubles. Our class president, Mr. Deane Alvinius Foster, has proved himself an abb manager. The Treasurer has managed to scrape together our class dues, and this same gifted young lady. Miss Mary Deloras Combs, by name, managed to steal the lead in the Operetta. Frank Waldo, another golden-voiced freshman played the leading part opposite her. I 15 | Back Row—Beverley Angell.

EXPERIENCES OF THE EIGHTH GRADE OF 1934-35 On September 10, 1934 the ex-seventh grade, the future ninth grade, and the eighth grade beginners laden with books hurried into the eighth grade room with here a “hello” and there a “hi.’ Amid hustling and bustling seats were chosen only to be changed a little later. As the year slowly progressed, school was good for some, fair for others, and terrible for the rest. Finally preparations and ticket selling for the school carnival came around. The eighth grade ran away with the honors of ticket selling. It took a successful part in the carnival with the playlet, “Billy’s Coming.” For the annual Junior Play “Romance la Mode” in December, we solo more tickets than any other group. At this time everyone went home with a happy heart for the Christmas vacation; but everyone returned with a lowered spirit because they dreaded the semester examinations. Our joyful spirits came back to us after examinations, and we braced our selves for the coming semester. I hen along came the lamiliar disease “Heart I rouble” put on by the Senior class. Again we defeated all other classes in the sale of tickets. We were given a weenie roast in honor of our success. After three more months of enduring work, birds began to sing, flowers began to bloom, and wc were let out for spring vacation. 1 he end of the year drew nigh and final preparations began and ended. We spent the last day of our eighth grade year at an enjoyable picnic at Kellogg’s in Battle Creek. I 16] Hack Row—Mary Belle Starncr.

SEVENTH GRADE With much wonderment and anticipation 60 new 7th graders arrived at the high school building, our new home, this fall. Were we going to like it up here? What would be the difference in our classes, our teachers? It was only a short time until we felt quite a part of this institution on the hill and our shyness left us. It was almost like rising from servant to host. We feel more grown up and dignified. It is all up to us now how far we will go. One affair has tumbled on after another and the year has sped by. Ticket selling cam- paigns created a most pleasing and yet thoroughly competitive spirit between the seventh and eighth grades. The very eccentric clock in our room provoked us many times by its refusal to give us any idea of the passage of time. But time did pass and things have happened which bear noting. Raymond Leversee won first prize with one of his bird houses, and already a bluebird seems to be preparing for his home. Betty Savage brought the first white violets. The cleverness of Clyde Wells makes him bigger than he is, while John (Buttercup) Shearer retains his miniature form. Mrs. Webb enjoys giving us such extraordinarily large words that we wonder if it isn’t just to see what tongue-twisters we can conquer. Work ami pleasure have spread themselves out over the year, and we have been working hard to pass in our subjects. This year has been an especially happy one for us because we have enjoyed sharing the privileges and advantages that are extended to members of a high school group. I 17] C.H. ACTIVITIES Gate-keeper (to Cornelius Smith, entering picnic grounds) : One dollar for the car. Smittv: Sold ! Mr. Noble: My shirts laugh at wear and tjar. Mr. Agnew: Yes, I notice their sides are splitting. Duke Bellisle (To Goof Allen, who is running back a punt) : Come on, you fool, the cameras are over this way! Famous last words: But Mr. Agnew, I didn't know I'd need a slip for that! 1 18] BOY SCOUTS SENIOR GIRLS JUNIOR GIRLS BROWNIES 12.3 I SALUTATORY Lucille Kline “Intangible Values” As we con before you today, candidates for graduation from Comstock High School, we are confronted with many questions. One of these questions is: “What are the most important things in the life we have ahead of us?” There are those who contend that it is the material things, the perishable things, that are most important. We are wondering if it might not he that the most important things in life are our ideals, our souls, our thoughts, our dreams. They are the imperishable. They cannot be taken away from us. They are the things which will determine whether or not we are happy. The axiom that the thought is father to the act is generally accepted. Without dreams there would he no progress and no great joy in life. They take us out of the perplexing problems of the day ami carry us on the wings of hope into the future where we see great things for ourselves. Several years ago graduates from high school had something sound upon which to stand. Then the economic system was not rocking with change. Theirs was a secure, comfortable future, to which to look forward. We are not so certain today as to whether we will go to college or into business enter- prises. Some of us have not prepared for business, believing college to be assured. Others of us who have enrolled in business courses are well aware of the difficulty of finding a position. We have few assets and many liabilities. We have our health, and youth, and now a high school education. We owe a large debt to you, our parents, to future families, to the community, and to coming generations. The establishment of a sound economic system is essential to the welfare of all of us. Musing seniors, curious underclassmen, cynical graduates, come to us asking the same old question, “What are you going to do when you are out of school?” This we cannot answer; although, within a short time we will he out on our own, dependent upon ourselves and required to make decisions for ourselves concerning our own lives. Until recently we looked forward to many things. The last few years have brought many changes in the picture of life ahead of us. We have learned that material hopes can- not always withstand the uncertain storms of changing times out of which we could he certain to emerge with only the intangible values of life. Some people appear prone to pity us although we do not want it. We are well aware that we ara not the first generation to face a bleak future. We realize and appreciate the situation of which we find ourselves a part. We are truly thankful that our eyes have been opened- in time to make us aware of the “Intangible Values” that exist in the world of today.

These arc the values to which the American, high school is devot.d. With an enrollment of six million young men and women the high school is rapidly be- coming a service to all American youth. The school provides wholesome activities for young people who are no long r needed in industry and agriculture. Wise parents have made it possible for their sons and daughters to spend their time in high school preparing for the best possible start in life. Never before until America took this course has it be n possible for the son or daughter of the average family to enjoy the broader opportunity which the American high school gives. A high school education is as necessary today as was an elementary school education a short while ago. The American high school is the people’s college, maintained by all and for all, the mainstay of self-government, and the surest guarantee of our liberties. There will Iv great opportunities in the years ahead for men and women with sound personal habits, disciplined minds, and trained skills. Let us provide the best possible free high schools for all. hat we put into the lives of our sons and daughters will come out in the life of America. Let us cherish ami improve our school. C.H.S. ALUMNI The first alumni of our school was formed in 1909 and continued until 1918. A renewed interest brought about the present organization in 1931 and this year they are meeting for the fifth time. The membership at present is 228 and with the addition of this year’s class the membership will come to the 250 mark. Plans at this writing are complete for the annual banquet to be held at the Methodist Episcopal Church Saturday evening, June 6, followed with a social gathering at the Odd Fellow’s Hall. NINTH ANNUAL CARNIVAL Friday evening, the second of November, occurred the favorite event of many of our pupils and patrons when our ninth annual carnival opened its doors to the merry-making, rol- licking, and the joy-jamboree soon got under way. Helen Dunlap was elected Carnival Queen in a spirited cont.-st involving Harrietanna Beitie. Nellie Merchant, Thelma Palmer, Gertrude Rice, Frances Miller and Lucille Klin.. The free acts were carried on with greater snap and interest than before and the different entertainments were gloriously new and the evening from beginning to end was filled with loads of frivolous frolic and thrills. FATHER-SON, MOTHER-DAUGHTER BANQUETS Two outstanding banquets were held during the year. The first, Father-Son banquet, was held at the church Friday evening, February 15. when one hundred and sixty men and boys enjoyed a “fine” dinner served by the ladies of the church and with Paul Griswold as toast- master, ami a wall balanced program was enjoyed. The mothers and daughters gathered at the church hriday evening, May 10, and with Mrs. Josie Montague as toastmaster and a pro- gram of merit followed a dinner served by the men and boys of the community.

They started the season with a new combination in both the backfield and the line. Captain Bellislc, after having starred for the locals in the first three games, was injured in the fourth, and was out for the duration of the season. Allen, however, competently filled his shoes, and piloted the team like a veteran during the remaining games. Richard Boven, brawny end, had the honor of being picked for the All-Southwestern Michigan Class C Football team. We regret his loss through graduation, and also the loss of Moberg. Allen. Heystek, Gallagher. Dean. Bellislc, Winterburn, and Whipple, besides some reliable substitutes. The credit for the successful season should be divided among many boys. Boven, Gallagher, Dean, Foster. Robb, Morrison, and Heystek made out the line, while Moberg, Allen. Bcllisle. and Smith clicked smoothly in the backfield. Baker and Whipple also saw a great deal of service in the backfield. while White, R. Whipple. Schippers, and Parsons were of ter seen in the line.

After losing the first game, the Comstock quintet won six games in a row. Among the victims were Kellogg. Mattawan, Augusta, Portage, and Richland. Comstock was runner-up in the county tournament. They were defeated by Galesburg, 20 to 17, after having downed Portage and Richland in the playoffs. All three tournament games were extremely close. Captain Moberg was outstanding throughout the season in both offensive and defensive work, while Bellisle, Boven, Heystek, and Skelton formed the rest of a wJl-balanced team. Miller, Noble, and Smith also saw quite a lot of service. Comstock met St. Augustine in the regional tournament and w.re defeated by the score of 21-27. Moberg starred for Comstock while Mandjiak and Rizzo won the game for the Greenclads. Moberg and Bellisle, guards, had the honor of being chosen on the All-County Basket- ball Team.

There were many candidates out for each position but after a period of keen competition the squad was reduced to about eighteen members. Although four heavy sluggers were lost through graduation, the team has been replenished by reserves who have been tilling their places very nicely. In the opening game, the Noblemen looked auspicious by defeating Galesburg 15 to 0, but due to an error in making out the eligibility list. Comstock was forced to forfeit. The next three games were won easily but Augusta gave Comstock much more opposition. R. Heystek. Willett, and Waldo were outstanding for their excellent work on the mound while Bellisle gave the pitchers a good target from behind the plate. Burkhead. D. Heystek, Schip- pers, and Moberg made up a lively infield. Skelton. Sutton, Boven, and Sandell showed lots of speed in the outfield. T he team s ability to hit in a pinch was most instrumental in making this a successful season.

The class composition was on “Kings. and this is what one boy wrote: “The most powerful king on earth is Wor-king; the laziest, is Shir-king; one of the worst kings, Smo-king; the wittiest, Jo-king; the quietest, Thin-king; the thirstiest, Drin-king; the slyest, Win-king; and the noisiest, Tal-king. Mrs. Webb: “Do you know Lincoln’s Gettysburg address? G. Ray: Why, he lived in Washington.” Mrs. Noble: “Give a sentence using the word bewitches.” L. G.— Go ahead—I’ll bewitches in a minute! The teacher was giving a lesson on “snow. As you walk out on a cold winter day and look around, what do we see oil every hand?” he inquired. “Gloves,” answered the red-haired boy in the rear seat. 136] Mr. Raymond C.

If you’d have it lead the rest. Help it grow! When there’s anything to do. Let others count on you. You’ll feel good when it’s through— Don’t you know. If you’re used to giving knocks, Change your style; Throw bouquets instead of rocks For awhile. Let the other fellow roast. Shun him as you would a ghost; Meet his banter with a boast. And a smile. When a member from afar Comes along. Tell him who and what you are— Make it strong; He a Booster—that’s the stuff— Don’t just belong!
