Lower' left: the Colleixizite numbers. Dancing, singing, skits, pretty girls, and handsome boys all did their hit to make the annual Junior Revue of 19,12 a great success. The credit for a fine piece of work is due to Mr. jay Rens, class advisor, Miss Lois Conrad, dramatics advisor, and to the enthusiastic ettorts of Emily jean johnson and Shirley Keller, who so willingly taught the students the dance routines. The junior Revue consisted of comedies, drama, dancing and songs by Creston's octet. Outstanding among the dance numbers were some spe- cialty acts by Emily Johnson and Bud Collins, lim Huls- apple and Keitha Harmon, Pearl Banks, Virginia Fleming, and Shirley Keller. Other popular numbers were Goofy Gobs, Irish Wasliwomen, Collegiates, Daisy, and Mami- ettes, which was given by a group of boys. The skits consisted ot such numbers as Ministrellets and Love Lyric, which was dramatized by speaking only letters of the alphabet. Other skits were the Clow XX!orm and Bachelors Dream.

In early April, Nobel Cain, the famous con- ductor, whose many songs are used as a part of the choir's repertoire, visited a choir re- hearsal the second hour and spoke to us about music. At the end of the semester the choir mem- bers were presented with choir pins, according to how long they had been in the choir. Plc! Rim' l: lf. Vhilpotl. S. CulQn1nn. ll.

Une-acl Plays The Dramatics classes this year presented their one-act plays during the fourth and hfth hours for the enjoyment of the students and parents. Miss Conrad directed all three presentations. One play was presented each week. The first production, Georgie-Porgief' a story of the trouble connected with being a teen age youngster, starred Dick Simmons, De- lores Burniewicz, and Maxine Evans. Next, the one-act play, was given, in which Eleanor De Vries, james Hulsapple, Bob Thiebout, and Bob Sage played. This farce was a laughter-provoking tale of spiritualism. The last play, His First Shave, was a story of Derek Morton, Isadore Kleiman, who was played by his sister Clara, Barbara Balbach, and his parents, Vivian Dent and Herb Butterheld, much to the amusement of his girl friend, planet, Donna Mulder. These presentations were fully enjoyed by all their audiences, and once more served their purpose of earning enough money to produce Gloria. The cooperation of all the drainatics classes made this year's one-act plays as suc- cessful as any of the previous years' presenta- tions in spite of dilliculties due to the war effort.

Page 6 5 Debate and Forensics In a wartime change from the usual debat- ing setup, the Creston debaters engaged in competition only with city schools, and ex- perimented with different forms of speaking contests. The first competition was a panel discus- sion with Union on the question of post-war organization. Next a cross question debate with Central was held on the same subject. For the third contest the question was whether or not football should be abolished for the duration of the war, and Ottawa was the opposition. The last contest was with South, and the subject was on the merits of a parliamentary form of government. This year in Forensics, Creston had an exceptional year, taking three firsts and three seconds. In the oratory contest, Arvin Wells won first place and Leatrice Dupler won second. ln the oratorical declamation Jeanne Livingston was first and Elaine Dryer sec- ond. ln the extempore contest, Charles Day won first place, Vivian Dent took second place in dramatic declamation, and lsadore Kleiman, Creston's other entrant, won third place in extempore speech. ,ws in Recl Cross Club The Creston Red Cross Club has been exceedingly busy during 1943, trying to help in the war effort. Because of the necessity there were two Red Cross Membership drives this year, instead of the usual one. The members of the club have been busy mak- ing game-boards, scrapbooks, and slippers for soldiers, collecting and filling friendship boxes, which were sent across to our allied nationsg selling cookies, from which the proceeds went to fur- nish a recreation room for the soldiers, and they also sponsored a war bond and stamp drive in order to purchase several Block Busters, ln addition to these were their social activities.

Amicltia The members of the Amicitia Club, whose name translated from the Latin means friendship, and their sponsor, Miss Margaret Appelt, made scrap- books which they gave to St, john's Orphanage. Their special Christmas contribution to the school was a well-decorated Christmas tree, that delighted the students and teachers who saw it in the front hall. Ire cream sales conducted by the club were sucf cessful with the students. Witlm the money earned from these sales, the club plans to present the school with some needed improvement. New members elected by the old members were initiated February the 18th, a day hlled with memories of lollipops and pigtails.

Hi-Y Club The purpose of the Hi-Y is to create, maintain. and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian characterfl Working from this motto, the Creston Hi-Y en- joyed one of the most active years in school history. An intramural sports tournament was held for club members with contests in free throw and badminton. The basketball team finished in second place in the Y.M.C.A. league. Revenue measures of the club were selling paddle pops at all home basketball games, sponsoring co-ed nights at the Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A., and an ice cream sandwich sale. The Hi-Y, in conjunction with the Footlights club. sponsored a pep assembly for the Catholic Central football game. Skits and a guest speaker featured the program. The annual Hi-Y-Girl Reserves spreads were held in October and May at the Y.XV.C.A. and the H'.M.C1.A. Ending the year with a surplus in the treasury, the club gave twenty dollars to the Red Cross Wglr sub- scription drive, and the remainder went to have the showers in the boys' locker room repaired. The club sent representatives to the West Michi' gan Hi-Y conference at Grand Haven in April, and the year's activities were ended with a wienie roast held in May.

The Bear quintet rode along on a string of three consecutive wins until they met defeat at the hands of a hustling Union five. Pre-season favorites to cop the city crown, the North End boys finished the season in third place. Witli the Hilltoppers from the Central and the Redhawks from Union, the only teams to successfully defeat the Bears in both encounters with them, the Creston live composed the satisfying record of eight wins and tive defeats which Have them one of the best seasons in many years. 21 Using a fast break and controlling the back boards with their height, the Creston quintet coasted along at the top of the heap. The climax came as the Bears met the Wilcl- cats from Davis Tech in the game that might have given the North-enders the championship. However, the Tech team humbled the Bears by a slim 18-15 margin in one of the slowest games of the season. The tall, scrappy Creston five captained by Gerald Roberts and jack jones played hard, fast basl-:etball in every game and helped revive interest in a sport that has been lagging for many years at Creston. This scrappy bunch may be proud of the spirit they gave to Creston basketball. Pier 90 Row 1: L. Soper, B. Van Luyn, G. Roberts, N. Stuits, D. Smith, D. Friebur1.rei'.

Baseball With a late start because of the cold weather, the base- ball team began practice at Briggs field in quest of diamond glory, as nine lettermen returned to form the nucleus of the 1945 squad. It seems the baseballers were title bound as they were called the power house team of the city. The Polar Bears opened the season by pounding out a 19-1 victory over Union. This massacre was followed quickly by wins over Ottawa, South, Tech, and Christian, and all by large margins. With the air-tight pitching of Captain Bill VanLuyn and Hugh Terpenning, and the fancy fieldings, hard- hitting support of the team, the Creston nine was one of the classiest in the league. Coach Schrump's team appeared to be championship bound with power and pitching galore. At the time the Saga went to press, the team was unde- feated, and boasted a string of eleven consecutive wins.

Track Creston's Polar Bear thinclads took to the cinder paths at the opening of the 1943 track season to defend their dual and Regional Championships. Six veterans, led by Co-cap- tains Ken Ripma and Don Newberry, an- swered Coach Mart Van XVingen's first call for track aspirants. Witli about forty boys to start with, Coach Van Wingen picked a squad which swamped Catholic and Central and appears to be able to retain the track crown. The Creston squad is well balanced and in Ripma, McGee, Calkins, and Newberry, has four point win- ners deluxe. Uncle Sam's army affected the track team immensely, as it took Dick Bresnahan, Bob Simon and john Hendrikse, all letter winners from the dashes, hurdles, and half-mile.
