As the school days began again, we who were once Fresh- men found ourselves advanced a grade farther and anticipated the day that we could initiate the new members of the Fresh- man class. We first had to settle the matter of our class officers so we elected the following: Bill Kerrigan, President; Mary Ann Dunn, Vice-President; Betty Babcock, Secretary; Joan Dimmick, Treasurer. Nyla Schoettle and Bill O'Connor were elected to the Student Council. f«|( Srvenlffn When it came time to choose our initiation committee, we had many volunteers for every thing. The committee foi initiating the girls was: Joan Dimmick, Charlotte Evinski and liary Ann Dunn. The committee for the boys was: Bill Kerrigan, Vernon Wixson and Arnold Kettlewell. The food committee was Ileen Erbe, Bill Benjamin and Barbara Bertick. Each person of the class had a part in it. A lot of fun was had by all. When nominations for Football Queen were being made we choose Mary Ann Dunn to be the candidate for our class. We were the class whose candidate was elected, and she was crown- ed at the home coming game. We had a class meeting to discuss lighting the football field. Our class decided to give a hundred dollars during our Senior Year. 3RD ROW: Jim Watson, Vernon Wixson, Bill O'Connor, Jim Webster, Ken Mitchell, Bill Kerrigan, Lionel Nadjkovic, George Moran, Tom Robinson. 2ND ROW: Arnold Kettlewell, Jim Robinson, Frank Meddaugh, Ronald Stone, Karl Krumming, Sylvia McLane, Leola Lamb, Adrian Ryan, Shirley Oliver, Mr. Wark. 1ST ROW: Janette Willis, Eleanor Miller, Ann McCardle, Nyla Schoettle, Helen Yost, Ann Shoe, Audrey Westley, Betty Wurmlinger, Mary Ann Leber, Marion Kittle.

VTith a membership greatly increased through the exten- sion of the agriculture course to include freshmen, the chapter has engaged in a number of interesting group activi- ties . Beginning with the harvest of the group project of sugar beets soon after school opened, the chapter carried on with sponsorship of the School and Community Fair, with a hybrid seed corn sale campaign and with various other activities. Pins denoting membership in the Green Hand and Chapter Farmer degrees were purchased,and at this writing plans were under way for the purchase of distinctive F. F. A. Jackets, partly with chapter funds. The chapter this year adopted the special award plan for Senior Class Ag students offered by the Ee Kalb Agricul- tural Association. Each year the outstanding Senior is to receive a medal and have his name engraved on a ten-year plaque to be kept permanently in the Ag department classroom.

The Croswell Pioneers started the 1946 football season, under a new manager. Coach Gleason's vacancy, as everyone knows,was filled in very well by our new coach,John Holodnick, assisted by Mr. Cooper. The team had trouble getting the ball rolling in our first game at Harbor Beach with the game ending in a six to six tie. The second game was at Marlette under lights with the Red Raiders running away with us by a score of eighteen to six, with Dale (Mouse) Miller of Marlette, the star of the game. Yale traveled to Croswell on October 16 to take an easy game, thirteen to zero, although Croswell out-played Yale. Pur Thirty-seven - «ii y ju ail Od the unscored Sandusky team, coached by Matt Gleason (our previous coach), the Pioneers really gave them a rough- ing up by a score of nineteen to zero. Our home-coming game was with Brown City, played under a drizzling rain and a field of mud. Queen Mary Ann Dunn, sent her knights out into the field of battle. The knights were gallant and successful, as they won the game by a nine- teen to six score. In the last game at Deckerville the Pioneers won by a score of seven to zero. The Pioneers ended the season with a tic for second place with Sandusky,while Marlette and Yale were tied for first place. The football season was brought to a close at a foot- ball banquet held in Marlette. The following Croswell boys received positions on the first and second team or honorable mention: 'Robert Ellis, Wayne Clarkson, Robert Lindke, Robert Cutler, Max Boyes, George Gray, and Herbert Thibdaue. 3RD ROW: Mr. Holodnick, Wellington Spenser, Bill Hebei, Leo Koppel, Floran Gordon, Tom Robinson, Kerb Parker, Eugene Baird. 2ND ROW: Stafford Jolley, Bill Dorlin, Henry Matthews, Russ Whitemcre, John Pfieffer, Stan French, Eugene Tucker, James Webst©r 1ST ROW: Dwight little, Frank Keller, Charles McCulley, Herb Quandt, Herald Stover, Jim Wilber, Don Thibdaue, Charles West.

The Pioneers started the 1946-19 7 seasonwlth a trimming of 37-23 by Deckerville. In a non-league game with the Harbor Beach O.L.L.E., the Pioneers were unable to shake off their first defeat and lost by a score of 22-17. They were rid of the jinx in time to beat Brown City, 24-22. The Pioneer center, Bob Lindke, was back in the line-up after an injury which kept him out of the first two games. The over-powering Marlette Raiders showered the team with baskets running up a score of 55-23. The former Croswell coach, Lfatt Gleason and his team from Sandusky got their revenge for an earlier defeat P r Thirty wn In football by taking the Pioneers 47-28.
