Corunna High School - Sphix Yearbook (Corunna, MI)

Text from Pages 1 - 80 of the 1952 volume:

1 1952 doreword ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We should like to express our thanks to the three faculty members who so freely gave their time and work to this An- nual: Miss Gorman, for guiding and directing us in our write- ups; Mr. Stull, for allowing us to work during school and proof-reading the copies; Mr. Lubbers, for his encourage- ment and advice. We praise the excellent work of the House of Annuals in printing and publishing this copy of the Sphinx . We also extend our thanks to the H. A. Powell Studios for their ex- cellent pictures. Very special vote of thanks goes to all the merchants and businessmen whose advertisement guaranteed our financial success. 2 --THE STAFF-- j£)edica tion We, the students of Corunna High School, with deepest sympathy iand respect would like to dedicate this 1952 volume of the Sphinx to Attorney James Allan Quayle. Attorney Quayle was prominent in all civic affairs, and was, at the time of his death, City Attorney of Corunna. Aside from his profession, Mr. Quayle was very active in educational circles and in fraternal organizations. He served twelve years on the Cor- unna Board of Education, holding the offices of President and Secretary- Treasurer. He also was Presidentof the County Board of Education in 1951. While amember of the Board, he was noted for being a strong advocate of decentralization and believed that the community's responsibility was to maintain th eir own school and often took issue with those who were attempt- ing to consolidate the local districts into large centrally controlled units. In fraternal organizations he was a member of Corunna Lodge No. 115, F. A. M.; the Corunna Chapter No. 33, R. A. M.; Owosso Commandery No. 49, Knights Templar; and the Elf Khurofeh Temple at Saginaw. Corunna High School may be proud of this graduate, and present-day students may look upon his life as an example of fine Christian living. 3 innua BACK ROW - LEFT TO RIGHT: B. Schooley, M. McLane, J.

C. R. Lubbers, Ralph Stull, Miss Gorman A MESSAGE TO THE SENIORS For a dozen years you have been training in the skills for the building of a successful life. We of the faculty wish that each of you might have the privilege of continuing your educa- tion in some college or University, but, from here on, for some of you it will be self-education, if you continue to growmentally. Good books, poems and magazines can lift one to wider horizons or help weather difficult times. Words have power, words are ideas. Ideas move the world. Ideas can move you. Through ignoble words we m ay trudge the gutters, or through noble words tread the high places of thee arth or universe. The choice is yours. The best of luck and may success be yours! Mr. R. L. Stull PRINCIPAL Commencement is but a few weeks away. Many friendships will be brok- en; there are many farewells to be said. This parting may appear to be pleasant but do you realize that many of you will never meet again as you venture out on life's pathways? May I urge each of you to become the better men and women of to- morrow. Mr. C. R. Lubbers SUPERINTENDENT At last the time has come when you are completing your high school edu- cation. Perhaps most of you will never opena school book again--you are now graduating from high school. Remember, your education is not completed; it is only begun. Have you appreciated your high school days? They were the best days of your life--and gone, never to return. We are told that opportunity raps at every door at least once. Are you prepared to accept this opportunity when it comes to you? Perhaps you will have to answer, Sorry, I am not prepared; pass on to another. What about your high school preparation when the time was right? Was it be- cause you felt that it would require a little more effort than you wanted to put forth? Are you going to let a few difficult tasks hluff your way a- long--but what have some of the rest of you done? Never be afraid to do a little more than is required of you. Some of you plan to improve your education to prepare for your life work. You will all find that the world is in greater need today of brother- hood, tolerance, unselfishness and men and women of per sonal'integrity. 5 3 acu Ity, BACK ROW - LEFT TO RIGHT: Mrs. White, Mrs. Wager, Mrs. Morrison, Miss Woods, Mr. Buursma, Mrs. Akins, Mr. Kapenga, Mrs. Mumby, Mrs. Radosevic, Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Caylor, Miss Meyer.

There were thirty- seven of us at the time but now there are only thirty. We were a little scared atfirst, but after the Student Council initiated us, we thought we could face almost anything. Our Class officers that year were: President, Nelita Sut- ton; Vice-President, Bob Striggow; Secretary, Billie Schooley; Treasurer, Doris Lake. Mr. Lancaster was our Class Advisor. Most of us ca me from Junior High, although some came from the country schools. Among the parties which we had that year was the Freshman Dance given in our honor by the Student Council. As Sophomores, we elected the following Class officers: President, Jane Watson; Vice-President, Doris Lake; Secretary, Jerry Bouck; Treas - urer, Duane Hayes. Miss Woods was our Class Advisor. Everyone had a good time at the hayride sponsored by our Class. On Marchl7 we held a dance, Shamrock Shuffle , which was a great success. In our Junior year our Class officers were: President, Jerry Lubbers; Vice-President, Jerry Bouck; Secretary, Dale Bouck; Treasurer, Bob Strig- gow. Our Class Advisor that year was Mr. Dennis. V e sold candy five days a week and also at our home games. Our Junior Play, The Adorable Imp , was a great success. Now we are Seniors and this has been a very busy year. Under the dir- ection of Miss Gorman and Mrs. Akins we gave our Senior Play, entitled A Date with Judy , which was a great success. We sold pop, potato chips, hotdogs, and popcorn at all our home games. We also sponsored dances after the home games. Again this year Mr. Dennis is our Class Advisor. Our officers are: President, Jim Koyne; Vice-President, Jerry Bouck; Secretary, Jane Wat- son; Treasurer, Jerry Lubbers.

A DATE WITH JUDY' Judy is determined to beat the slacks off Tootsie Whiteman by so- liciting contributions to the Com- munity Relief Fund--the winner to be Queen and lead the grand march at the school dance. Judy and her friend Barbara try to think of every possible way to get contributions. But solicit- ing is too slow, however, and Judy enters a whole raft of contests, as a means of raising some quick money- using her parent's names. The re- sults are disastrous. Judy's father wins honorable mention in a nation- wide contest for the most kissable lips . But Judy is not one to give up easily. She tries her hand at writing and concocts a true confession story entitled, I Am A Bigamist . Unfortunately, the true confession script gets mixed up with Mrs. ter's spee hto the P.T.A., and wheu she is unable to give the spee her- self, itis read for her. Judy, an - while, has been trying to erest a theatrical producer, Mr. Mai tindale, in giving her and Mitzi jobs as ac- tresses. They even do a scene from the high school Spring play for the as- tonished producer. In the midst of their act,Mrs. Shultzhammer sweeps in, waving the confession man- uscript and demanding thai Mrs. Foster resign from the P.T.A. They will have no bigamist in their organ- ization! Then Mrs. Hotchkiss and her daughter burst in and wants her daughter to elocute for Mr. Martin- dale. On top of this, Oogie barges Continued on Page 45 21 i uniorA BACK ROW: R. Morden, D. Hein, R.

Corunna won 6 games, tied one, and lost one, which we think is a good record for any school. The 'Green' Cavaliers took on Class B Imlay City for the first game and out-fcughtthem for victory. Durand was the third stumbling block and only the die hard spirit that is Corunna's saved Corunna from defeat, by scoring in the closing seconds of the gahne. A pass interception by Chesan- ing, delivered the coupe de grace to Corunna, leaving the cup still in the Indians' hands. Ovid gave the Cavaliers' line a chance to show their power, when within the two yard line Corunna held Ovid for 6 down, before Ovid was able to score. Next Elsie tried to use new strategy by letting us run for seven touch-do ns hop' lg that we would be too tired then to stop them. (It didn't work.) Parents' night was observed at the Owosso St. Paul's game.

Ovid Next year we hope to have another good team, for we lose only 4 out of the starting line-up. The football team was honored by the C.H.S. Athletic Association at a banquet, with Michigan State's Coach Clarence 1 Biggie Munn as speaker. Later Munn showed pictures of the Notre Dame vs. State Game. 38 SECOND ROW: J. Bouck, G. Taylor, M.

In this season Corunna to- taled 1077 points to their opponents' 792, making an average of 53 points per game to their opponents' 39. Sickness haunted the conference teams, and we believe that this was the reason for our only conference loss. For the first time in many years Corunna won a basketball game by fo rfeit, thus lowering the average of points per game. As usual, all teams have their off nights, and Cor- unna was no exception, but the nights that they were on made up for this. Corunna tied with Durand for the conference trophy, and went on to beat Durand in the District Tourna- ment in Owosso, for the District Cup. Againfor the second time in the his- tory of Corunna, the Cavaliers won their first game of the regional tour- ney play, but were beaten out by the powerful St. Louis team in the sec- ond game. Top scorers were Jerry Lubbers with 340 points; Dale Bouck with 328 points; and Harold Taylor with 126 points, giving 17, 16, and 11 point average respectively. Thus ended the season, for a well-coached and highly spirited team. We would like to thank the Athletic Association at this time, for the many times that they treated the basketball team. We feel that things like this bring a closer relation be- tween team members and their dir- ectors. 39 THIRD ROW: B. Hawkins, P. Narango, C. Crowt, B. Thayer, T. Keuchman, M. Ber- ry, C . F ernette.

He's ac- cepted Tootsie Whiteman's invitation to the dance. Judy practically dis- solves in tears. Life has reached tragic proportions for Judy--but be- fore the evening is over she almost makes a new conquest, is mixed up in a near elopement with Rex O'Con- ner, his girl and his kid-sister, Suzie, who came along--and, finally, in a last-minute mad rush, goes to the dance with Oogie. Hannah, the maid brings in the beautiful dress which Judy is to wear. And believe it or not, she is crowned Queen, too, in place of Tootsie! Randolf, Judy's kid brother, adds a laugh in every line. This is as heart-warming and laughable a comedy as you will ever want to see._______________ Continued from Page 24 SOPHOMORES Treasurer, Buster Spaniola. Our Advisor, Mr. Buursma. Our Class membership has dwind- led from the high of 52 in our Fresh- man year to 40 in this our Junior year. We have but one more year of our vim and vigor to give to Corunna High. Our activities have kept us busy with a very willing membership to help. We have given two very successful dances, sold refreshments at the games, and are selling personal sta- tionery and shirts with the school name on them. We are planning to give a pancake supper, and bake sales in the near future. Our Class play is being looked forward to by all. Class officers are: President Dick Cooper; Vice-President, Char- lie Crowe; Secretary, Janet Walker; Treasurer, David Morris. Class Advisor, Mr. Buursma. Continued from Page 25 JUNIORS Our Freshman year got off to a flying start with the traditional initiation day and the election of Class officers. They were as follows: President, Alice Price; Vice-President, Harold Taylor; Secre- tary, Gerald Taylor; Treasurer, Ned Lake. Our Advisor for the next four years is Mr. Paul Akins. During the year we had a dance and roller skating parties, which were huge successes. The Class of '5 4 came back in the fall to settle down to the second year of High School. Elections were held and officers appointed for the year are as follows: President, Melvin Berry; Vice- President, L arry Flagg; Secretary Sharlyn Roberts; Treasurer, Joanne Serson. We had one new student at the start of the second semester, Rivis Tual. The year's activities consisted of: A dance, movies and a popularity contest in which Sophomore boys sponsored the different girls throughout the High School. The winners were as follows: first place, Alice Price; second place, Marie Flynn; third place, Jane Watson. We prospered by ali of them. Continued from Page 41 BASEBALL Baseball, in Corunna High, has not been as interesting to the students as football or basketball. Most likely it is because Corunna has always been on the winning side in these two sports. Last year, under the fine coaching of Supt. Lubbers, the team opened the season by beating Ovid 13-3. Then they dropped the remaining six. These last six games were all very close, four of. which were lost by one run. This year, all but three of the start- ing nine will be back, and we hope to turn in a much better record. The baseball team this year is coached by Ray Dennis. TRACK Track has been, and §till is, the leading Spring sport in Corunna. We feel that a good track team means a better football team next season. Last year, Corunna had a fairly good season, and is expected to be one of top teams in the conference this year. John Buursma is the coach this year. 46 47 SNAPS 1. Those new uniforms look sharp. 2.
