SENINUAL Croswell High School Annual of 1938 The Seninual is dedicated to Miss Marjorie Cline, who last year re- vived the idea of a sohool annual, which it had not had for several years.- This was so greatly ap- preciated that the Senior Sorosis has continued it this year. Miss Cline has left with us a memory of friendship and cheerfulness. She was liked by everyone who knew her.

Although there are two grades in our Junior High Sohool, it is diffioult to describe any activity or narrate any event without inoluding both grades beoause our parties, picnics, assemblies, speoial day programs, and athletio activities are with few excep- tions enjoyed as a group. It so happened this year that our Junior High boys' basket- ball team was made up of eighth grade boys with the exception of George Cudney, a seventh grade boy, who was used as a substitute in most of the games. We played two games with eaoh of these sohoolst Lexington, Marietta and Sandusky. One game with eaoh of these schools was played away and one here in our new gymnasium. Of the six games played we lost one. Sandusky oonquered us on their floor. Old Man Overconfidence beat us before we got there. The other five games were won by wide margins. After the regular season, we played the Freshmen and won the game by a wide margin. The starting team with few exceptions wasi Kersohenheiter, Levitt, Tisoh, Dundas, and Hunt. Emeigh and Gardner also started in some of the games. Those who served as substitutes and saw some action were Anderson, Cudney, Stover, Kanaby, Grout, Frenoh. The eighth grade girls with the aid of some from the seventh grade played two games with the Freshmen girls. They lost both of the games. The seoond game was lost by a very narrow margin so our girls felt much encouraged over it beoause they were playing against some of the regulars on the High Sohool girls’ team. 24 SerenM Grade First Row, Seated—Mary Jean Chadwiok, Marjorie Baer, Muriel Nunn, Gertrude Jaolcson, Theora Sponner, Wanda Sheldon, Wanda Stapleton, Seoond Row, Standing—Raymond Smith, William Foley, Robert Mills, Miss Phyllis Gibson, John Wede, Neil King, Roy Henderson. Third Row, Standing—Joe Kandler, George Cudney, Dean Branton. The Seventh Grade is one of the smallest groups that the Jun- ior High has had for the past few years, having only seventeen mem- bers. However, they seem to be an active olass in spite of this. A group of boys who were interested in oriminology formed a Law and Order Patrol for the purpose of studying the methods of criminals. The following officers were elected John Wede, Pres- ident, Muriel Nunn, Vioe-President, Mary Jean Chadwiok, Secretary, and Neil King, Treasurer. This Club has held two parties during the year. The first was a sleighing party. The members brought their sleighs and enjoyed Burrough's Hill to the fullest extent. George Cudney brought his outter and gave everyone a ride. After cold hands and feet began to be noticed, the boys and girls oame baok to the school and enjoyed hot ooooa and oookies. The seoond party was an evening affair and was held in the home eoonomios rooms. Duoking for apples, dropping clothespins in bottles, hunting oandy, and keeno were some of the activities en- joyed. The refreshments consisted of grape juioe, oookies, and ap- ples. Miss Wells and Miss Baldwin were guests at the party. This spring the olass held a roller skating party with every- one having their share of falls. When the pupils became tired, -they returned to the school where cocoa, oookies, and apples awaited them. The olass is looking forward to one more party before school closes. 25 ifan i or H $ More of the activities of the Seventh and Eighth Grade have been held jointly. One of our big social events of the year was the Halloween Masquerade party, which was held in the schoolhouse on the Friday night before Halloween. The first part of the even- ing was spent in trying to find out the identity of the masked in- dividuals. When we had satisfied our curiosity, everyone unmask- ed and we sat down to a potluok dinner. This was served in the dining hall on the basement floor. Sweet cider was the liquid re- freshment, but we will not state how many quarts or gallons were consumed. After supper we went to our new gymnasium and enjoyed games for the remainder of the evening. This was the first party ever held in the gym. At Christmas time the classes held their own parties, eaoh having a tree and exchanging presents. Then we both joined the high school for the assembly program. Our girls presented a shcrt play, the soene of which was laid in 2000 A. D. We agreed that this was one of the best parts of the entire program. When Valentine's Day arrived we celebrated it with another party. In order to promote the sentiment of the day we elected a King and a Queen of Hearts, who passed out the valentines that the pupils had brought. Clifford Levitt and Doris O'Connor as- sumed their duties in a very regal manner. The party was deemed a complete success when ioe oream and cake made by the seventh gr.v-le boys, appeared on the scene. In order to promote a feeling of loyalty and sportsmanship in the Junior High, two of the eighth grade girls, Jane Whitmore and Doris O'Connor took over the duties of oheer leaders for the basketball games. We held several pep meetings, and at one of these meetings we reoeived more ioe oream, this time made by the eighth grade boys. However, one freezer of this was slightly salty, some of the boys having mistaken the salt for the sugar. This spring the eighth grade civios class invited the seventh grade into their room to hear State Trooper Euguene McTaggart speak. He answered the extremely numerous questions the boys and girls asked about the duties of a state trooper. For example, he explained the training period, the use of handcuffs, tear gas bombs, guns, the types of oriminals encountered, petroling the highways, and many questions of a similar nature. Everyone was very reluotant to let him go. As this was one of the most inter- esting experiences the Junior High has had, we feel we have gained considerably by it. We are now looking forward to our Junior High pionio to be held the last week of sohool. We plan to have it as usual at the St. Clair County Park. Bathing, boating, ball games, and playing on the swings will be enjoyed and soon the forenoon will have slip- ped away. Then comes the big dinner with cakes, pies, jello and other delioacies which boys and girls utter their magic word of appetite over. After this, aoross the park to the roller skating rink idlere we skate until we are fatigued. We then oall it a day and journey home. 26 Stuc srif mciI President- - - Vioe-President Sec.-Treas.- - - Walter Curran Robert Benjamin - - -Doris Erbe First Row, Seated—Vance Lancaster, Don Des Jardins, Walter Curran Robert Benjamin, Betty MoDuff, Betty Griffith, Second Row, Standing—Roy Gibson, Leertus Tubbs, Mr. V.

The members are eleoted by the individual classes, usually one boy and one girl. The pres- ident and vice-president are elected by the student body and the secretary-treasurer by the Council. Their worlc is to make the rules and laws by whioh the students abide. At class meetings suggestions sometimes arise that oonoern the entire student body. The class representative then brings it up at the next oounoil meeting and it is voted upon, if it is car- ried, it is presented to Mr. Benjamin for his approval. This year the Counoil sponsored a high sohool fair in Decem- ber, an all sohool danoe and a faoulty play in March. They also arranged for the student body to have interchanging programs with adjacent schools. 28 Hi-Y President- - - Vice-President Sec.-Treas.- - Cook - - - - - Sponsor- - - - - Robert Benjamin - Don Des Jardins - - -Hiram Stover - -James Woodruff Mr. V.

The purpose of the Hi-Y Club is to create, maintain, and ex- tend, throughout the school and community, high standards of Chris- tian Character. The local Club, which is composed of twenty Juiicr and Senior boys, meets during the activity period onoe a week on Thursday and Friday of alternate weeks. A program of discussion on various timely topics is held, and men engaged in varied fields are invited in occasionally to share their knowledge with the boys. An evening meeting is held onoe every month and a supper is served furnished by the boys. The local organisation has been in existence as a Hi-Y Club for at least twelve years, and Mr. Downing has been its sponsor for the last eight years. During this time various olub tradi- tions have been built up, including the sending of the next year's newly elected officers to Camp Hayo-Went-Ha on Torch Lake. They here receive experience and training to help them carry out the year's program of activities. Mr. Downing—Didn't I tell you to notice when the soup boiled over? Jim Woodruff--! did.

The Home Economics Club has four principle objects—to fur- ther interest in home economics in the school, to advertise our sohool through home eoonomio projects, to broaden our own oon- oeption of home economics, and to have a good time. The Club has held some parties this year and has helped with the planning of the agriculture and home economics fair. Each year the Club sends two representatives to Camp Kitanniwa at Dowl- ing, Michigan. Wanted—A girl for bakery. Must come well-bred, be an early risei; born in the (y) east, a good mixer. She will get her dough every Saturday night. 30 Future Farmers President- - - Vice-President' Secretary- - - Treasurer- - - Reporter- - - Sponsor- - - - Goodwin Westbrook - Donald Randolph - Robert Garbutt - -James Merrill - - - -John Smith Mr. D.

Leading activities include a highly successful sugar beet project which reoeived a good deal of publicity, and the pro- motion of the first annual Croswell High School Community Fair. The Chapter's judging team won the livestock-judging con- test at the Sandusky fair and plans are being made for partici- pation in the Future Farmers Week Contests at East Lansing. The spring meeting of the Sanilao County F. F. A. is to be held under the auspioes of the local Chapter. Mr. Rieman--Terrible links, caddy.

This olub is conqaosed of any pupils in high school who wish to Join. Officers are eleoted at the first meeting after which meetings are held weekly at the high school building. It is a self-sustaining organization. The purpose of the olub is to give each member the funda- mentals of photography and to develop and print any piotures which members have taken. This year marked the first attempts to make enlargements or prints without the use of negetives. Many of the members can do some dark room work at home after learning from their work in the olub. It has proven a worth- while enterprise especially since photography has become suoh a popular hobby. John Gardner—Pop, I got in trouble at sohool today an' it's all your fault. Mr. Gardner—How's that, son? John—Remember I asked you how muoh $1,000,000 was? Mr. Gardner—Tea, I remember. John—Well, 'a heokuva lot isn't the right answer.

The letter winners this year include—four seniors—Hale, Des Jardins, Hunt, Stewart; one junior—Todd; three sophomores- Morris, Erbe, Bennett. With four letter men back and many good prospects, Cros- well's basketball team for 1939 should have a turn for the better. Chemist (to Don Des Jardins, who had been carried into his shop after an accident;—Yes sir, you had a rather bad smash, but I managed to bring you to. Don—I don't remember. Do you mind bringing me two more? 35 Although certain important factors relative to battery strength could not be determined at the beginning, the prospects for the baseball season were favorable. Of last year's regulars who remained, only Dane had pitch- ing experience. Hunt, Bennett and Randolph again competed for infield positions while Hale, Brown and Szczechura were avail- able for the outfield assignment. The back-stopping duties were in new hands. Coach Rieman found it necessary to replace such dependable performers as Des Jardins, Lendon, Don Brown, Kirkpatrick, Harold Clyne and Mortimer, who aided materially in the winning of games from several outstanding rivals last year, including Yale, Mar- lette, Sandusky and Carsonville. There is a tendency favoring the scheduling of more Lower Thumb schools, which should enhance the attractiveness of the home card game. The schedule is as follows: April 22 Marysville- ------------- here 26 Harbor Beach- ----------- -there 29 Brown City- ------------- here May 3 Lexington- there 10 Carsonville- ------------ there 13 Deckerville- -here 17 Yale- --------------- -there 20 Marlette- -------------- here 24 Peok----_----- here 27 Marysville- ------------ -there 30 Sandusky- ------------- -there June 7 Yale- - ------ - here TracK Coach King started training his track men in the technique of proper running. Although there were but two letter men from last year, Badgerow and Archer, there was a good showing from the following fellows: R. Todd, J. Stewart, B. Rexford, I. King, B. Bartley, J. Smith, J. Keglovitz, I. Westbrook, B. Benjamin, A. J. Deoker, J. Hale, G. Westbrook, B. Bennett, E. Clyne, A. Brown, J. Woodruff, J. Thuma, R. Morris, R. Erbe, G. Dundas, W. Sheldon, R. Gibson, V.

Jack Thuma—I'd love to, but I'm only here for a week. Naomi Hale—It was very kind of you to ask me to danoe. Art Brown—Don't mention it; it's a charity ball.

Mi es Frances Kime—Director The ohoral division of the music department has several or- ganizations of interest. Most of the students registered in this department are members of the mixed chorus which sponsored the op- eretta, Jerry of Jericho Road. This was the first high school operetta ever given in Croswell and was an artistic and financial success. The most sdeotive group is the robed a-cappella choir of 25 members. Their first performance was at the Sanilac County Teach- ers' Institute. A large number of the 8irls participate in the Glee Club. 38 Bane % Crchestnx First Row, Seated--Florence Bonura, Roberta Conlen, Patsy Burns, Marie Davison, Ruth Lindke, Iva King, Maxine Conoly, Marjorie Rae, Breta Loree.

The instrumental music department holds its classes on the stage in the new gymnasium two days each week. In the past it has been necessary to limit the size of the band and orchestra because of the small band room. The improved practice room has already resulted in a larger band and orchestra. The band has appeared at a number of important events in- cluding the dedication of the gymnasium, the sugar beet conven- tion, faoulty play, basketball games, and other occasions. The orchestra has appeared less often, but is larger and better than in previous years The big event of the year has been the Elkton Band and Or- chestra Festival. The Croswell band and orchestra have always appeared in this ranking high compared to the other schools. This year the first Sanilao County band and orchestra festival was held at Croswell. In the afternoon orchestras from Marlette, 9snr dusky, Deckerville, Peck and Croswell played. At the conclusion of this program a large county orchestra oonqposed of musicians from each school presented a short oonoert under the direction of Dr. W. W. Norton, Director of Community Musio in Flint. Bands from Marietta, Brown City, Sandusky, Deokerville, Carsonville and Croswell played in the evening. This was followed by numbers played by a large county band. 39 Editor in Chief- -------------- Josephine Jackson .............................................Miss Alice Wells First Row, Seated--Greta Westbrook, Robert Pearce, Alice Gal- braith, Oliver Force, Josephine Jackson, Doris Erbe, Donna Hurley, Robert Benjamin, Mabel Mortimer.

The sheriff comes and aside of surprising everyone is very little help in the solving of the mur- der. The solution of the murder is found when Jed Travis, appar- ently a crazy man, with the help of his wife investigates and proves that Miss Marvin's lawyer is the scoundrel.

A system of assistants was worked out so that at least two students are ohecking out books and magazines each hour. The assistants for this year are: Mabel Mortimer, Donald Shell, Delbert Farley, Jack Hale, Lucille Pabst, Bill Morris, Parry Baer, Betty McDuff, Bonnie Woodruff, Wallace Hunt, Ada Mc- Cully, Ruth Converse, Anna Adams, Dale Hawk, Ida Kirk, Greta Westbrook, Sylvia Allen, Della Bigger, Hazel Pomeroy, Ted Odium, Helen Lawry, and Catherine Johnston. Each assistant will reoeive one-half point credit for his work. We have purchased approximately sixty new volumes for the library this year, all of which give the students a wider and bet- ter choice both for reference and reports. 42 Jnufcgir ph S Af f G oJ w' ff Compliments of STATE BANK OF CROSWELL A.
