CLASS HISTORY As we Seniors jrepare to leave uorastock Tublic School, we are inclined to think of other years spent with- in the walls of C.h.S. ±he time is going very fast, and we will soon be another class that has attended Comstock and graduated. Before we make room for the other classes that are moving up, we would like to have you go back with us to what only seems like a few years. It was a day of mixed emotions for the mothers, children, and the teacher, Miss Mary Cnenney, when we began our venture of schooling. Of our graduating class the following people began there schooling heres Ar.eta Bowen, Mary Clark, Marilyn £oy, Charles Fullmer, Gloria Hill, Rosemary LaLere, Dolores Ledbetter, Rodney Leversee, Ray kitscher, Bruce Tiellington, Julia Williams, Gib Thomas, Jack Walker, Ralph Zendt, Clyde Sherwood, LOUiie Shrout, Lucille Taylor and Joe Nuyen. 1 am sure they all remember the day Neta Bowen brought her white rat. Our first and second grade was divided quite confusingly. Our teachers were either Miss Grace Cramer for first and second grade, kiss Ruth Fahrney first grade, and kiss Donna Rippie second grade. The third grade was divided between Mrs. Ethel Fitzgerald and Miss Carolyn Classman. This was the first class to put on the pickaninny show in the carnival. The class members also put on a Dutch Play. In the fall of 1940 this class entered the platoon. We had kiss Josephine Leenhouts, krs. Sheldon, Mrs. Rains, krs. Ritchie, Miss MacLennan, and Miss Smith. They taught fourth, fifth, and sixth grades. We were taught nature study, music, and took part in gym besides the usual reading, writing, and arithmetic. In the seventh grade we met Mr. kurrey. It was his first year at Coastock. We were a fun loving class. kr. Hoehne was our home room teacher in the eight grade. We had several private class parties. With nine years of successui school life behind us forty-five eager little freshmen were under the care of kiss Dorothy kohney. From year to year our forces were strengthed by these additions. Mary Barnes, Carolyn Corstange, Albert Langerveld, June Snail, Dan Stevens, Leone Cramer, Harry Gregg, Jim McBain, and Rarcalyn Wnitney. We selected class officers as follows: George Braymer, president; Clyde Sherwood, vice- president; Gib Thomas, treasurer; and Ralph Zsndt, secretary. With slightly nore confidence and several ideas to enliven the little party we were planning for the freshmen, we entered tenth grade, kr. kurrey was our class acivisor after returning from serving in the Army. Our officers were Clyde Sherwood, president, ack Walker, vice-president, Rosemary LaMere, secretary, Mary Clark, treasurer. Charles Collins became a member of our class then. The Juniors were very active under Mr. Murrey. We presented a ecuple of ordinal dances, which we called Hobo Dance and the Gay Ninety Dance. On May 14 we entertained the class of 48 at the annual Junior and Senior banquet, held at the Columbia hotel. The proa was held immediately afterwards. Our class officers were Clyde Sherwood, president; Gib Thomas, vice-president; Louise Shrout, secretary; Dolores Ledbetter, treasurer. New students were Grace Carter, Martha Y.illiaas, and Lewie Kaninta. That year we presented Pulling the Curtain as our Junior Play. As the Class of 49 takes its place on the stage it will also be the last time it will participate together to make class history. Our two dances were called 49er Dance and Springtime Serenade; both were ery successful. We sold concessions and novelties to raise money for our trip to Chicago. Mr. and Mrs. Murrey accompanied us on the excursion. The Mysterious Traveling Bag was the name of our Senior Play. The officers for this year were Rod Leversee, president; Mary Clark, vice-president; Betty Sans, secretary; Joan Siegfried, treasurer. Ke enjoyed our prom and banquet on May 13. Ralph Dansby joined us just in time to graduate with us. Scliool was dismissed, ar.d the Seniors leave their history behind. By Joan Siegfried CLASS POEM By Julia til Haas You all know that we're not angels, Our halos just couldn't be seen, But just to see what we were like, You can look behind the screen. Dee is the one who's a diller, She's made many a boy look twice, To her, some guys are wonderful, But some she tninks are mice. Goof has to keep family tradition, In keeping his name at the top, And to see him at the very last, Aould make our spirits drop. Mary Clark's a little tot, She couldn't be much smaller, But if she's ever told you off, I'll oet she seemed 10 feet taller. Jim U. is really tall, He nearly reaches the ceiling, Is it the height, or pretty girls, That makes his head go reeling. Bruce W. is not lazy, I've often heard his sap , But if you have to work all night, You huve to sleep all day. Betty was our secretary, She's about the best we've had, And she's sure make � trood one, For some intelligent lad. Mary B. is quite the girl, With her flashing eyes. But, with her the guys are late, She already has her guy. Louie Kaminga is that blond, And high with us he rates, His laughter and his gayety, Will win him many dates. Gib Thomas is the lucky guy, Who takes things as they come, And for this special recipe, Ask Gib—he's not so dumb. A1 and June, one summer night, Fialked by the light of the moon, They walked along the side of a lake, While A1 crooned softly to June. Marilyn has had many parts, On stage playing opposite C.C. Was this just coincidence, Or was it meant to be. Clyde sure mangled that car of his. He fixeu it himself in two weeks, He says that it's in A-l shape, But I'll bet the dem thing leaks. Carolyn has a cheerful laugh, It rings out loud and clear, And maybe she doesn't know it, But when she's around no time is drear. Danny Stevens is tfco silent type. But with us he is tops, He does one thing and starts another, To rest—he never stops. Many people I know have said, That Charlie C. is quiet, But I'm sure if we could see his brain, What we'd see would start a riot. Ray Mitscher, now, with his antics, At these we must hot scoff, But we wish he's go on the radio, So that we could turn him off. Gloria has a heart of gold, In helping out she's a pal, She's always willing to see things through,. That is Gloria—she's our gal. Joe is really some pitcher, He's got a furious wing, But can he strike 'em out? Well—that's another thing. Mitzi's the girl with the jet black hair, Her lips are red, her eyes are brown, With her pleasing personality, She really goes to town. Pee Wee and Jack were going to a dance, In Walker's Ford V-8, They rode for a while and the car broke down, And so to the dance they were late. Karthc Combs is short and sweet, Her voice we shall remember. Her laughing ways and smiling face, Will be memories that are tender. Leone's a sad figure, With her pretty hair of red, For she has just sad memories, Of many, lovers,,now dead.. Ralph Dansby is quite the card, With his phony bashfuf ways. But if you talk with him you'll find, He has done plenty ir. his days. Chuck F, you know, is the fellow, Who gets things done in e hurry, But milec away you'll want to be, When he is in a fury. Louise Shrout likes Jack Hudson, His ring on her finger we see, It's going to be her hafpy day, When he sings Oh, Promise Le . Another good sport is Harry Gregg, On him we can rely, We'll have fond memories of him, When he bids us good-by. Rodney and Grace went for a ride, In a beautiful pea green boat, Grace got mad, and broke Red's heart, And left him along to float. Bud, as Aneta has often said, Spends all of his time playing poker, But when it comes to winning, He never holds the joker. Joan Siegfried, as you can see, Has an ambition to be Mrs. Nuyen, She's made a hit with Joe and now. We'll see the results of her trying. Lucy Taylor is the real poet, Of our talented class, But you never would think it, Ao look at this shy young lass. Hr. Murrey was our teacher, He meant more to us than we knew, He did more for us than anyone. We'll realize this now he 3 through. It'8 now good-by to the teachers, And so long to student friends. We must now go and fill our place. In the world, as our last school day ends. CLASS PROPHECY By Lewis Kaminga As I look into the future to the year nineteen hundred and fifty-nine, I see a great future for some of the students of the class of nineteen hundred and forty- nine. If you happen to pick up a telephone and hear a sweet pleasant voice say number please, you can tell that it belongs to June Small or Grace Carter both operators at Michigan Bell. Rod Levt.rsee can be found in Grace's yard sitting in his new Cadillac. You see Rod is a very successful bandleader and currently engaged at the Club Hollywood. Rod has two capable and up and coming singers in Al Langerveld and Betty Sans. The star drummer for Rud and his music killers is none other than Charlie Fullmer. Nest in the Crystal Ball we see Lew Kaminga as usual in the principal's office, only now he is behind the desk. Another classmate who graduated with him is Marilyn Coy who is now teaching the second grade. Jim Stuut is still affiliated with the school too. He is the cnief broompusher or chief janitor for the entire school. Aneta Bowen and Bud Brayraer are happily waiting for the-«right minister to come along and murrey them. Joe Nuyen and Jo Siegfried are in a successful business. Joe is the barber end Jo is the manicurist in his shop. Louise Shrout has a very nice business, you just have to call her or go up and ee her and tell all your troubles to her. She listens carefully and then gives you id. her opinion of what to Jo. fcarcaljn Whitn can be fount! in almost any city. She is with the circu3 and ' employed as the fat woman. The next person that droj} ed down is f.ary Clark, she is running an elevator in the Empire State building. If you turn on your radio and hear a sweet ; leasant voice coming from the loud- speaker it can be easily identifies as i..itzi Lai ere. She is or.c of the few wcaen dice Jockeyu that has ca !.our network show. Cib Tito mas is a successful srortswriter for the Kalamazoo Gazette, and also has the Job of writing a daily feature sport column in all of the leading paters.

The story of the j. lay centered around the Whitaker family and the activ- ities of its members and their friends.

Bernard Barber was at the helm. The first nine they faced was Kellogg. The ’•Colts had been able to practice only once before this game. The game itself was marred in errors by both teams. After seven inn- ings of loosely played ball, Comstock emerged victorious with a score of 14 to 13. Nuyen was the winning pitcher. The Colts with one win under their belts, they journeyed to Mattawan where they defeated them 6 to 5. Nuyen truning in a masterful two hit game. Nest on their list was Plainwell, whom they whipped 11 to 1. Their batting was keyed for this game, as they out hit them 10 to 3, Nuyen, who pitched, had the situatipn well in hand from the start to the finish. Now it was Portage's turn to take a whipping, and it was a real defeat too, because Comstock won by the score-of 18 to 4. Comstock didn't need to swing because they were issued 20 walks behing five hits. Bill Sullivan did a grand job of pitching. Next was the biggest game of the year with Comstock beating Vicksburg 4 to 0. Joe Nuyen did a magnificient $ob of pitching, for he allowed only 2 hits. The greatest help came from a well balanced defensive team, which went through the game without a single error. This victory game us at least a tie for the championship. The last game of the year was with Galesbnrg, who Comstock defeated 8 to 6. Bill Sullivan was the pitcher. With this victory, they won the K. V. A. Championship and finished the year undefeated. It was the only team to go through the season undefeated in eight years. The players that are leaving our team ares catcher, Sherm Ledbetter; shortstop, Walt Jennings, third baseman,and pitcher, Bill Sullivan, first baseman, Charles Fullmer; center fielder, Dan Stevens; andlinfielder, Russ Kerrill. BOY'S TENNIS Uhder the able coaching of Mr. Murrey, the boy's tennis team had a very successful year. They were defeated only once during the season and that was by a powerful St. Augustine team. The Colts were undefeated in league play and also won the K.V.A. Tournment. Mr. Murrey is looking forward to another successful season as he had 7 lettermen returning this year. They are: Earl Hoehne, A1 Langerveld, Rod Leversee, Ted liacPherson, Dale Slater, and Keith Bunting. Their record for last year is as follows: WE THEY Augusta 3 0 Schoolcraft 2 1 Kellogg 3 1 Vicksburg 4 0 Galesburg 4 0 Plainwell 4 0 Schoolcraft 2 1 St. Augustine 1 4 TRACK Comstock's track Learn was coached by Paul Van ort last year. The Colts put up good competition und pulled up fourth ih the standings, while Plaiflwell copped the K.V.A. track trophy.
