The Science and Math Club strives to encourage students who are interested in the areas of science and math to work on various types of science projects. Two students entered the Kalam- azoo County Science Fair as a result.

Two other projects in- cluded a secretarial pool and the pub- lishment of a directory for Combstock area business placements. Ralph Cramer, Alan Dowdy, Linda Steinman, Marie Roschek, Patsy Buchman. Library Staff At the begining of school 1,200, books still needed to be shelved. While 3,700 were to be put on these shelves through out the year. Thus a staff is badly needed by the librarian, Miss Brown. The stu- dents were taught how to process, stamp, and shelve books. The experience proved to be of value in library use and in functions of any library upkeep. L to R: M. McNutt, K. Hcnsen, L. Randall, I. Staten, W. Carman, G. DeMink, S. Hcnscn, R. Conard, J.

These students went out to area elementary schools to help teach- ers with paper work, prepare bulletin boards, and participate in activities. Mostly, too, their job was to help the under-achievers and with any other wise problems. It is hoped that cadet teachers will continue. Office Staff Students who work in the office are a blessing to Mrs. Kirby and Mrs. Vande Bos. These students do ennum- erable jobs the two secretaries hardly have time for in the short school days. Running errand, passes, materials, and looking up names arc many of the tedious time consuming jobs. Spanish Spanish also serves the approximately same purpose as the French club, with the exception of language. The club members also are in the process of making plans to raise enough money to send two students of Comstock High School to Mexico during the summer. The club sponsored a school dance as one of their projects to raise money. Ever)’ year for the past two years the club has sent a student to Mexico for a short period of time during the summer. Their ambitions are high and rich with fine backing. French L to R: W. Carman, L. Denruyier, I). Hilton, B. Long- acre, H. Nash, R. Poe, S. Metendorp, A. White, S. Bal- lard, M. Kelley, R. Schmiclc, E. White, M. McKinscy. Promotion of better understanding of the French language and of the french customs, is the main purpose of this club. Of a few things the club has done is songs in french, such as the French National Anthem. The club also sponsored a dance as a funds raising proj- ect. Also every year camps for french students are set up. This club can prepare or help prepare a Comstock student to go to one of these camps. L to R: M. Philipp, M. Shaw, L. Havens, C. Dietz, C. Harrison, L. Chase, D. Campbell, S. Lane, L. Lever- see, J. Boven, J. DeMink, S. Gainder, T. Newlan, L. Ubbes. With the promotion of French and Spanish in Comstock the American Field Service is to create a better understanding and better relationship between our country and foreign countries. The AFS club has a foreign student attend our school every year. With us this year is Mary Streatfield from England. Their project is by far not an easy one. The projects this year have included concessions and the selling of malts during the lunch hours. The goals of the previous clubs have been high and this years club has by far done just as a surpassing job. 14 American Field Service L to R: M. McNutt. M. Spaeth, J. Strublc, M. Streatfield, L. Dietz, G. DeMink, Miss Brown, S. Burrows, B. Wilson, M. Pickett, E. Clapp, W. Walker. Clubs even went as far as to enter floats in “68” homecomings. This page is dedicated to all those faculty members who took their free time and gave it to sponsor the many clubs of Comstock High. More events and fun were created by “68 V’ clubs, but without those ad- visors it would never have been possible. Our appreciation is ex- tended to them. The crowd came and the dance began on into the night. Well who said it was easy working in clubs? They sang to perfection, they sang until soreness. 15 Comstock High School Choir Kay Gren sings for the student body. The Sound of Music was the pride and joy of Mr. Smith and the choir group. Of the many things that the choir did was to travel to Western Michigan Uni- versity and sing as well as to many area high schools. The musical was extended three days over its sched- uled time with a full house all five days. Eur. Seminar U.S. Seminar Front L to R; R. Bowman, B. Dunlap. I). Wickline, J. Pickett, J. Ubbes, C. Kraft. J. Paulsen, T. Carlton, P. Kranshaar, G. Sharrod L to R: D. Campbell, B. Blankenburg, Mr. Berg- strom, L. Stienman, L. Havens, L. Chase, K. Smith, D. Webster. Every club has its purpose and the purpose of the European Seminar is to in- cline a student toward a field of history and research the specific area in depth. Such areas was in the Reforma- tion, the Industrial Revolu- tion, and the good and bad repraissions of Imperialism in Europe. Also a term pa- per is required. Study of American development in depth and specific areas in the United States History were the main aims of the U.S. Seminar. The Seminar students are required to do research reading and a term paper at the close of the year. From L to R: J. Petto, S. Jacobs, S. Petto, M. Spaeth, R. Biester, B. Moll, S. Buttler, B.

Well let me sec I’ve played What da ya mean you think I'm the villain? Harvey and The Crucibles were both plays put on by the Thespians in the 1967-68 high school year at Comstock. Many of the members were not on the stage but had a great deal to do with those on the stage each night. The makeup, costumes, stage settings, and the lightings are just a few of the many things the members did to put on the plays. And these are the cooling off moments before the curtains. 17 T h H C e i o g m h s t o c k Dick blows the horn which will carry him far. The Majorettes of the Comstock High Band of Blue. Every school has its mu- sical talent put to use. Well, Comstock is by far no ex- ception. The Band of Blue is traditionally the most ac- tive group in the school. The band worked like one big family to achieve the goal as the first place taker in its division and to give pride to Comstock High School. The band members all had their special talents for the many divisions of the band. An opportunity for those of concert band tal- ents, pep band talents, and marching band talents were offered. 18 And here's the band in full, giving a concert to the public. Who me? I’m off key? Are you sure it’s not him? Here’s the Man who’s heading it ail. 19 The talent showed from all their work. Forensics L to R: L. Denruyter, J. VanBruggen. L. Oman, L. Dietz, B. Blankenburg, J. Nicklin, S. San- ford, B. Holt, M. Wester, C. Jacobs, G. Dziewicke, R. Smith, M. Hines, S. Petto, M. Ander- son, J. Meints, B. Terburg, H. Pratt, A. Pacic, P. Staten, D. Kneer, D. Webster, L. Kraft, S. Sparrow. H. Morrison, L. Havens. Advisor: Mrs. Root. A Forensics club gives its mem- bers the chance and the experi- ence to speak in front of a group and be judged on his performance in contrast to other speakers. The speakers are divided up into dif- ferent categories of speakers; Serious Interpretation and Hu- morous, Extemporary, Radio, Plays or Group plays, Group Readings, and many others. Brenda Terburg placed third in the regional competition in Cold- water, in the humorous reading category. Chess Club They say the game of chess is easy to play once one learns to play it. Well, come into the room of chess players and try your amateur skills against these practiced amateurs. Chess is by far one of the hardest games to learn. Tom Carleton is the Vice-Chairman and Glen Sharrod is the Chairman. If one wishes to play his hand in the game, all he has to do is report to a designated room and be mentally prepared for a challenge. This club gives anyone a chance to practice and learn the game of chess. Debate L to R: S. Sanford, L. Dietz. B. Blankenburg, J. Nicklin, B Holt, M. Wes- 20 ter. B. Terburg, C. Jacobs, G. Dziewicki, R. Smith. P. Staten, M. Hines, D. Webster, L. Kraft, S. Sparrow, H. Morrison, L. Havens. Absent from picture: B. Dcmarest, B. Morrison. L to R: T. Carleton, G. Sharrod, S. Whittaker, P. Kraush. D. Wicklinc, J. Ubbcs, C. Pharnum, W. Carman, K. Travis, J. Price. For the first time in the Comstock system an actual Debate class was formed. The students didn’t have to use up all their spare time finding evi- dence for their debate but did it in an instructed class. The young class didn't fare well in the Wolverine Con- ference, but looks forward to success next year. L to R: L. Honicutt, J. CofTman, V. Cole, D. Porter, D. Rodgers, V. Brimingham, K. Dowdy, C. Klein, Miss Mott, S. Schabeeb, M. Command, G. Savage, L. Havens. Careers in nursing and in similar areas are growing ever)' day in need for more trained people. These twelve girls have been working at Gorgess Hospital as candy stripers two hours a week. They are ex- pected to go to an orientation given by Miss Mott twice a year. If any interest is about you in nursing look into the FNA and FHM see just what they can offer you. The ex- perience is beyond value. l FT A L to R: L. Blum, S. l.ane, S. Fisher, L. Havens, L. Chase, M. Phillip, L. Dietz. K. Fisher. M. Vandcrkley, L. Oman. M. Sparks, L. Kolodczieck. Bettering the understanding of the problems of being a teacher is probably one of the best clubs any school can start. With this ideal, the club ex- tends out to that of cadet- teaching at area schools. Thus it creates pre-professional experience for the high school student. L to R: D. Porter. B. Fields. L. Staneszek. P. Bvrd, J. Coffman, L. Honicutt. Few people really can sew well today. The emphasis on home economics has de- creased with the times. But the FHM gives opportunity to those interested students in just more than sewing, cooking, and house upkeep methods. This year they make Easter baskets for the children's hospitals. Also the group made gifts and baskets for the State Hospital for Thanksgiving, Christ- mas, and for Easter. DECA Distributive Education Clubs of Amer- ica is a youth organization that works through the school to introduce the stu- dents to careers in marketing. Mr. Lcb- sack, sponsor of D.E.C.A., introduced to Comstock the wide range of activities of this club. They’ve opened a new, fully stocked school store and have set up vari- ous window displays throughout the year. President Mike Redmond. Vice-President Mary Webb, Secretary Karen Weirs and Treasurer Diane Fellows have worked hard to produce an excellent club. Truth For Youth L to R: I). Horton. J. Turner. C. Lovins, S. Hill, C.

This was the work of the Auto Body Club. Fenders were replaced, dents were banged out, and entire cars were repainted by these hard working young men. Mr. Bill Lounsberry of Galesburg worked hard advis- ing these boys two nights weekly for rewarding results. 22 Pep Club Students worked hard to back the club in its purposes of the year. Many .students worked independently which showed the ever increasing enthusiasm this year. Sportsman- ship and spirit grew to unbelievable and welcomed heights. An excellent year resulted from the work of the club. L to R: C. Lewis. I) Henscn, J. Courtier. J. Price. C. Smith. K. I.amere, L. Oman. L. Leversce, H. Roschek. M VandcrKIcy. J. House. H.

Spirit builds Go-Power! A step toward victory. Reporter at work. YVe can all be proud of the fully ac- complished Round-Up staff led by Jim Van Den Bos. It's a group who, through hard work, set a goal and accomplished it through volunteer work. Many late nights were spent rewriting, setting copy, and typing to meet that ever constant deadline. It was hard work and a job done well. Round-Up Staff L to R (up): K. kisher, A. Gleason. P. DcHollandcr, P. Hamilton. L ( ray, B. Sanford, J Butler, I,. Kolodziec yk. S. Fisher, K. Christenson. B.

From the Girls’ Athletic Association, a strictly all female club became the Co-educational Recreation Association. Many more ac- tivities were possible because of the change and hard work of its members. Modern Dance L. to R: S. Sanford. K. Dowdy, W. Walker, Mrs. Callahan. D. Kneer, J. Price, J. VanBruggen, A.

This year the Varsity Club has been working hard to pro- duce a “Varsity Room” out of the wrestling room. Here meetings can be held and pictures of past teams and records can be hung. One decision made by the club was to award lapel pins to senior members. A special award for a special club members. Miss Brown, eating again! Workers of the Corral toiled many days away to produce the yearbook. Sue Sanford, editor and chief worker produced the book with assistance from co-editor Jayne Chris- man and members of the Corral staff. Lay- out, copy, captions and photography took up countless hours of work. Jane Wilson and Ralph Wallace are to be congratulated on the hard work taken to produce the pictorial history of the school year. G-o-o-o, work! Jack Price—Bus. Manager: Yeah who sez it’s easy? Comstock can be proud of the spirit developed in the entire school. Students worked hard to back the cheerleaders and improve spirit. Football Homecoming showed the hard work of the cheerleaders with its evident success. Thank-you girls! Left to right; S. Henson. A. Torian, K. Smith, J. Monnier, S. King. K. Henson, and M. Pickett.

Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. Small acclaim is given to the student who stands, before his entrance on the stage, biting his nails and thinking hard of the lines hc?s to say. Comstock missed the thrill of the band follies last year due to the lack of facilities, time, and advisors. Plays were few and far apart. But this year the fruits of labor were reaped with the op- portunities given with a new' environment. The hours of study lost, the hours of fretting over lines one can never remember, the hours of preparations, and the hours of sleep lost are for- gotten once the curtain opens and the audience gives its ova- tion of approval. 27 Announcer Bob Stroud is content, while a group of “onlooker’s listen. “Happening ’68” went ail-out to entertain not only Comstock but two area schools, Fort Custer Children’s Home, and the Veter- an’s Hospital. The theatre was filled to capacity as the chorus line started the show with a dance to “Hello Dolly.” Throughout the show very talented acts were presented. Singers, instrumen- talists, dancers, twirlers and actors were featured. Again Mr. Kulesa did an excellent job. The Band members excelled in this group. He is one who really understands. I'm sick, sick, sick of this rabbit! Madam could I sell you some instant rabbit killer? There, there, it’s not that bad. Jim, you don’t really want us to go, do you? Suddenly little white rabbits ap- peared all over Comstock. They were out to find Harvey the lead of the fall play. S. Petto as Elwood P. Dowd, Harvey’s friend, brought him to the public. J. Strublc as Veta Louise, B. Dcmarest as Myrtle Mae, C. Horton as Nurse Kelly, T. Conor as the doctor along with J. Wright, J. Courter, D. Reed, B. Bushhouse and R. Knolle were surprised to meet the rabbit. J. Jackson and P. DeHollander did a fine job directing. From my calcula tions. . . Now, you won’t believe this but, he wears a tie, too! You don’t really use this, do you? 29 “Over hill over dale we will hit the dusty trail They sung their hearts out and warmed those of others. Everyone has their problems. “Woopie! lYou’re not in straight lines yet.' Wake up world!! Undoubtly the high-lite of the year was the choirs’ presentation of Rodgers and Hammersteins “The Sound of Music.” The show broke all attendances records and had to be extended to seven nights, to accommodate the box office response. The SOUND OF MUSIC is the true story of the Trapp family singers and featured Jan House and Jim Srachangast as Maria and Captain George Von Trapp. The choir was assisted by five Comstock Elementary stu- dents portraying the children of the Von Trapps. This fine production was under the direction of Mr. Jerry Smith. It’s OK Jim, keep singing For Greg—it never stops going. Are you sure you want to grow up and be a folk singer? Oh please Jan, let me have a break “Hi Hitler,” maybe. Now children . The “Pied Piper” is at it again. That’s right Jan. THE CRUCIBLE CAST IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE Betty Parris Jane Wilson Rev. S.

Danforth Don Reed Sarah Good Jann Struble Hopkins Rick DeWard Extra-long hours of work plus an excellent cast equals one super magnificent play. That was the formula that made the Thespian spring play, the Crucible. Advisor Mrs. Bonnie Root put in unbeliev- ably long hours along with twenty-one members of the cast to produce a difficult but rewarding production. Student director Jane VanBruggen helped trying hard to get everything just right, with great success, too! The cast must be praised for it’s hard work and terrific results. Mem- bers in the play were, for the most part, first-time actors and gave the play a fresh chance for new ideas and interpretations. Scenery and props were a trouble along with proper costuming but in the end set manager Jim Petto managed exact copies of the original broadway stage play. The result? A truly memorable play. 32 Go, Man, Go! CHS brawn overcomes all Only the athlete knows the hope, the joy, the excitement, and the achievement of all their goals. Comstock had a great deal to be proud of this athletic season. The odds were harsh in any hopeful victor)'. But our athletic determination and effort left even the defeated a small victor)'. The hours of work and sweat paid in final tribute to all their efforts in the way they played a truely tremendous season. Each student involved in this years athletic program towered over all defeats with knowing he gave all his determination in a fighting cause. And this style? . incredible The first football homecoming at Comstock High School was indeed a great success. Floats could be entered from any club as well as the classes, which added to the highlights of the evening. The proud class of '68 took the float division. A cool night was in store for all spectators but upon the presentation of Pat Bennett as Queen and Dave Sparks as King many still chose to suffer. Of events held was carna- tion day, stuffed animal day, slack day, team honor day and banner day raised the schools spirit. Every school needs a victory wagon, which the juniors gave. The dreams of many became Pat 's reality as home coming queen. The Homecoming court L to R Brad Wilson. Mel Pickett, Gary Zandt. Sherrine Hensen, Dave Sparks. Pat Bennentt. Mary Streatfield. Gary DeMink, Jane Chrisman. Skip Burrows Sherrine accompanied by Gary. Skip rides with Jane Upon the entrance into the Wolverine Conference the Colts knew they had a tough job cut out for them. It was a hard sea- son for the Colts but the team never gave up on their effort or their spirit. With only three re- turning seniors to the team for the 1967 season the team had little real experience to the guide the new varsity players by. With the little experience the Colts had they did a job to be very proud of no matter what the score of any of the games were. The team received new uni- forms plus had a new field to play the season on. The effort and determination was of tribute to show their appreciation. Mr. Paprannic, J. Sarckengast, I). Reed. G.

Only a willing young person can develope that be- cause he must have determination and the spirit to do it with little incentive from someone else. The Freshmen and Reserve teams have to have just that and a little more with the tough Wolverine Conference that they must face. But they can only work for the time when they will lead Comstock High School into the limelight of vic- tory and the top team of the Confer- ence. As most young teams the score are not kept because the scores don’t count as much as the experience and the training will give the players. Of course the score counts but is of little difference when it comes down to the final results. 37 Front L to R: S. Sparks, A. White, E. Corradini, G. Wright, G. Burnett, B. Johnson, I). Cole, C.

The student body cast their ballots to bring Mike Bott and Sherine Henson to the height of their Bas- ketball Homecoming King and Queen for 1968. Sherine was supported by a court of Jane Chrisman, Mel Pickett, Pam DeHollander, and Jane Van- Bruggen. The courts escorts were Gary Zandt, Skip Burrows, Norm Hoke, and Gary DcMink. The Ju- nior class were the bearers of all the homecoming arrangements and activities. Meeting many obstacles and a great deal of confusion the Juniors job was a compliment to their efforts.

CHS Scores A new school, a new season, and a just newly acquired conference league, had its odds of victory and defeat for the Colts with a season conference record of six wins and twelve losses, the fact of difficulties showed. But this failed to dampen the spirit of the mighty Colts. For, Mike Bott went out and set an all time scoring record and led in the Greater Kalamazoo Conference scoring. He later was chosen for the Greater Kalamazoo All-Star team. But it took team work to give Mike his opportunity. That team had a share in everything Mike received for his accomplishment. The crowds never gave up on the Colts as the Colts never gave up hope upon any type of victory. Once in the tournaments and two thrilling games had put us on the threshold of a Bruce eyes the Basket? regional victory, fate put its icy hand out for a crush- ing blow to the fans but even worse to the hard work- ing Colts. This ended the season. Randy’s ability grew with the growth of the season. Reserve boys names Reserve boys names. Always experience seems to be the winning factor in any atheletic contest. Thus the basketball players of Com- stock get just that. The reserves are on the verge of evolving into the varsity material and being at the peak of their ability. Scores aren’t kept at the re- serves game of at the freshmen games because the purpose of the teams is not to win but to get that invaluable ex- perience that always seems to keep the team sharp and away from the losing boners that splash the game. Stratagy and think work are put to the final tests while on the reserve teams. Here they must apply the methods, the pat- terns, the team work, and they are forced to think while in action. But don’t think sportsmanship escapes the scene because it’s the most important lesson.

The Comstock High fresh- man basketball team is just that. The promise of these young prospective athele- tics is promising to the future years and games. Mr. Hunt did, and has always done, a fine job with the freshmen who want to play basketball. The tremendous amount of boys who come out in the freshmen year is great compared to the varsity teams. The experience and playing these players gain tell the tale of their future in basketball. Mr. Hunt does a fine job in giving encourage- ment to these boys and developes the fine team they are. This year the young Colts came out in the finals of the basketball tour- nament of 1967-1968 season. They were a tought team to beat and never gave up in defeat or gave up in spirit. They will prove to be a strong team in the years to come in the Wolverine Conference. It was a good year with a good closing. Front L to R: Mr. Hunt, D. Jackson, J. Morford, R. Franks, M. Johnson, K.

Ann Torian set spirit afire for the Comstock Colts. Opportunity plucked the strings of new ways for Comstock’s student body. The season of sports rang with a yell for spirit and to support those who strived and drove under the odds of defeat and victory. The atmosphere of a new school, new uniforms, and room seldom experience by Comstock stu- dents, turned their heads to pride and awareness of their needs for new goals. The striving to obtain a goal of ath- letic sportsmanship was obtained in- deed by a very proud student body of ideals. ..........And the people.......poured in and . . . and in .......and ....

The boys went into a season of 10 w ins and 4 losses and 1 tie. Mr. Papranic and Mr. Pickett coached the team to their success. Glen Thomas, Don Reed, and Steve Smith were all strong wrestlers who went on to the regionals wrestling tournaments. Glen Thomas went to become the state champion in his weight division. The team did a tremendous job and are well prepared for the coming season. A strong group of boys are well deserving of recogni- tion of their feat this year. Front L to R: J. Dunlap, G. Nikitas, J.

Upon the open the 1968 season the Com- stock High School baseball team had to fight the odds of fate of few seniors and few experienced players. Thus the season came to a close with a total of four wins and fourteen losses. 1968 Scores Comstock 4 Vicksburg 5 Comstock 3 Vicksburg 6 Comstock 1 Christian 2 Comstock 0 South Haven 1 Comstock 1 South Haven 5 Comstock 2 Three Rivers 3 Comstock 4 Galesburg-Augusta 16 Comstock 5 Allegan 4 Comstock 5 Allegan 2 Comstock 8 Gull Lake 4 Comstock 1 Paw Paw 2 Comstock 4 Paw Paw 0 Comstock 3 Otsego 5 Comstock 1 Parchment 8 Comstock 0 Plainwell 3 Comstock 2 Plainwell 7 Comstock 3 Pennfield 4 Comstock 1 Hackett 10 The Comstock Colts watched closely and worked hard 44 The moment of truth comes at a tense second only.

The Baseball reserve team of Comstock has shown the determi- nation to be an outstanding team in the future for the Comstock Colts to look forward to. They are the development of experience and hard work to create a winning team for the Comstock expectant specta- tors. V A serve that wins The tennis picture was not available for such a deser- ving team. But in honor of the team the half page is dedi- cated to the team. The boys worked hard to achieve the many victorys they walked away with under the coaching of Mr. Lance. Tennis called for long hours of work on the just in practice every night from the time school was out til approximately 5:30 every night. They ran, practiced, practiced, ran, and practiced some more. The moment of telling always showed the results of such dedication to the sport of tennis. Fop, and any other thing you can think of! Terry hurries to stop his opponent at all costs Every year a team works for a better and more victorious season than before. The girls this year did exactly that. With only two losses, which occurred in their last two games, the girls still took first place in the league. They are now the proud holders of the league trophy. This is the second time the varsity has held first place, but last time they had to share it with another team. The girls did a fine job and obtained a rare goal which will have to be de- fended by the next year’s team. I. to R: C. Klien, S. Wellington, B. Terberg, E. Howard, D. Kay, Miss Ashby (Coach), S.

A reserve team such as this are the makings of a fine varsity, not only as a team but in spirit. Their record was nearly in half, with wins and losses the same. Their record stood as follows: Comstock V.S. Vicksburg 16-10; Comstock V.S. Climax 30-20; Comstock V.S. Pcnnifield 5-19; Comstock V.S. Climax 11-10; Comstock V.S. Battle Creek Central 13-38.

This year showed little success in the scores but showed a larger gain in the prospects for next season. Sounds familiar to hear this type of state- ment does it? Well take a look at the number of freshmen, sophomores, and juniors on the team. You'll only find three seniors which the team will lose. Among the school records broken there was Reggie Franks in the half mile, Bob Smith in the 440, Bill Page in the low hurdles, Jan Norwood in the shot put, and Steve Weaver in the pole vault. All to prove an exciting new season ahead. Back Row: Miss Ashby, Judy DcMink, Denise Hansen, Sherry Wellington, Brenda McQueer, Mary Fool, Wendy Vandcr Wheclc, Karen Wilson. Sherri Butler.

Unfortunately only twelve girls can play in a match. But this didn’t dampen the spirit of any of the girls. Most of the girls stuck with the team throughout the year. The team didn’t win any matches but was a very close contender in all their matches. Mary Streatfield, our foreign exchange student was the number one single’s player for the team. Awards were given to Mary Streatfield for most valuable player; to Sue Sanford for most dedicated player; to Mary Pool and Wendy VanderWheelc for sportsmanship; and to Sandy Wellington for most improvement. 48 Back Row: Miss Ashby, Wcndi Walker, Chcri Jacobs, Wendie Vanderwhcele, Mary Pool, Sandi Law, Diana Kino, Front Row: Jane VanBruggen, Sandy Wellington, Karen W'ilson, Sherri Butler.

These days its hard to find a young person who will run for miles and en- dure it and then return to do it again. The work is hard and long with little success for a young team with little experience and know how. They worked hard with little victory and lots of defeats. But they stuck it out and hope to return to victory. The style, thought, and the swing. Mr. Dieutch, D. Kennedy, D. Vincent, J. Glover, M. McQuire, I). Kloosterman. R. Kissenger, J. Price, I). Czuk. Style, form, and concentration, is the name of the game in golf. Prac- tice is the main part of the success of this team. The boys under the super- vision of instructor Mr. Duietch de- veloped into a fine team which will be hard to beat in the Conference in the coming season. Dance in the Comstock High 1967- 1968 year added the needed zest and relief of an every day routine school program. The yearbook staff was the starting gun to the dances with the “Last Chance” dance, sponsored by the Spanish club, as the finish line of the year. A Battle of the Bands was featured at Comstock with a psycho- delic touch for more of what anyone was looking for. The highlights of the year brought the Valentine Formal and the Junior-Senior Prom into the spot light. 1'he student council did an excellent job in the creation of the Valentine Formal. The Valentine For- mal left it up to the girls to invite the boys of their choice, while the Junior- Senior Prom reversed to the norms of society and continued the tradition of invitation by the boy to the girl. The many dances were for the pur- pose of fund raising projects for the many clubs in the Comstock High school system. 50 Ah. yes. food for all and for all . . . lots of calories. The masses gathered for the big wing ding! All dancers begin some- where, no matter what grade or age. Comstock High had its large share of dances to ex- ercise the skill of dance style, new or old. Serious or just fun- ning, there was sure to be a dance to fit all desires and moods. As the year passed more dances were created and more dancers developed and flooded the floor. Well I certainly did get ringcrcd for this! They danced all nite, well maybe not. To be or noc to be is the question 52 Some guys it takes awhile. to be picked. Which is the refresher5 . Punch or girl5 Even some of the faculty got imo the picture With every year the last formal dance holds its magic touch for all, boy or girl, faculty or chaperones. The Junior-Senior Formal was just that magic touch. The decora- tions were quickly consumed by memory hunters, but indeed that is what such a dance is for. 53 Yes, Ladies and Gentleman, this is Mary Streatfield. The 1967-1968 high school year found Comstock High the humble host of England’s for- eign exchange student Mary Streatfield. Mary won over the student body with her warm personality and her enchanting accent. With tennis an English game Mary was on the girls team as well as on the track team, hockey team, basketball team, and active in the pep club and the AFS. Mary also had the privilege of being in the Sound Of Music. Ah, and here is our English artist hard at work. Comstock endowed Mary as whe to awed Comstock. MATTHEW J. ANDERSON RANDOLPH E.

These people strived for four years to achieve a rank in the top ten per cent. They had to hold a high grade level throughout their four years in High School that would average in the top percentage of their class. They indeed attained a standard envied by every senior. These students are indeed a credit to Comstock High School. 81 82 Enthusiasm and attentiveness marks a senior. Some days just get you down. Leadership, scholarship, and sportsmanship were all endowed in this senior class of 1968. Yes, they were the trail breakers in the new Comstock High School. Some may doubt their contribution but the senior won’t faulter on such whispers of doubt. Their deter- mination to cope with society will be tested and met head on as every young person must. Look out, these seniors aren't to be trusted. Senior officers L to R: Mary Sparks, Jim VanDen Bos, Sherrinc Henson, Pat Bennett. Well, every senior had their talent. Even once in awhile some of them studied Food plus people equaled joy or contentment. Matt Anderson gives a lifting speech to senior class. With every year a new group of young people enters societies bounds. CHS gives its contribution with a more than willing group of young people.

This years Freshmen of ‘68’ added great character and flavor to Comstock. Maybe some brows were raised, but little real harm was ever done. Their cares of the future are distant, but yet they found occasions to study and appear sober or a little serious. Some moments are few, but not for- gotten. 107 Cheers to all and to all give CHEER! The moments of silence and moments of thought. And here’s the gang of all trades and , well you name it. The wondering eye. 108 A kind heart yet a strong impact. He has a “nice”. Mr. B. Brown E M U. W.S.U. B.S. M.A. E D S. Principal The Comstock faculty of ’68' deserves more recogni- tion than any organization could hope to give to such a great faculty. A good deal of time above and beyond the bounds of teaching was dedicated by the faculty to affiliate Comstock High with the North Central Acredation. The school stands to applaud such a de- serving staff. The job of preparing young people for an adult life is far beyond the concepts of those young people who are under their guidcncc. Indeed this faculty has done its job well under the confusion and handicaps they have functioned under. Mrs. B. Kirby Office Secretary Mr. R. Bunce W.M.U. TRINITY UNIV. SOPHIA UNIV. B.B.A. M.A. Asst.

Weaver is the new assistent to Ruhs, speaks with Sparks. Front L to R: G. Long (Supt), L. Ruhs (Asst. Supt), L. Sparks (V. Pres, of board of Ed.), B Churchill, W. Wallace, R Moberg, B I lostelle, R Weaver, A Trimpe (Secretary), R Dowd (Pres, of board of Ed.). These arc the board of education members who decide if there is enough snow to close school every year. 116 Here’s the team that put in long, hard hours. These two men were responsible for the organization to bring Com- stock the North Central Accredi- tation. On the preceding page are the board members whom were also involved in the complex prepara- tion to qualify Comstock High School for North Central Accredi- tation. Indeed it was an honorable job well done. Their work was nearly done. The victory was one of many dreams achieved by few. The student council of Comstock From L to R Front row: I). Sparks. J.

Streatfield, S. Petto. Every year a new group is in charge of the governing of the Comstock High School student body. This year the student council decided to make a few alterations in the constitution. The first presentation to the student body brought a rejection, but on the second try with a few alterations to the new con- stitution the student body accepted it with an over- whelming vote. The student council body conducted a student council exchange day and worked on the bread lift. Also on the student council agenda was the preparation of the Valentines Dance. As the year drew to an end the council evaluated itself as a fairly well done job for the 1968 school year. V. Metcalf lakes a moment for fun. N. Eggleston served the food as fast as she could but well............ W. Thomas and J. Emmons examine the food situation. C. Sparks kneads the dough and cooks and serves and......... These are the people who prepare the food for the tummy and who remove the profanity from the wall for the innocent souls. They planned the week’s menu and the week’s clean was left to the janitors. Many hours were spent into the night preparing for the next active day. They cleaned up what we left and tried to satisfy the appetites of some nine- hundred students every day of the week. But in the whole they did an excellent job which few take time to consider or really stop to think of the time and preparation it took on their part to create such a well done job.
