1 MR RIEMAN We, the Seniors, dedicate the annual of forty-n'ne to Mr. Don Rieman. During the two years he has been sponsor of the class of forty-nine, Mr. Riemun has assisted us very much. Helping enormously with the planning of dances, parties, sale of magazines and cards, Mr. Rieman gave us some timely advice. No matter what the project was, he supported us in it. As sponsor Mr. Rieman has brought much encouragosior.t to our class. Our thanks goes to him in his great work as teacher and sponsor. ’.Ye hope we will see him teaching for another twenty-six years. innrTx uuyu o� • ynr All n ?«w j«o'|; S ) . % a-te dyf.

The seventh and eighth grales elect one representative from each class to represent the Junior H i gh • The Student Council of nineteen forty-eight and forty-nine has had two ad- visors, due to the fact that Mr. Liddicoat, the Council s first advisor received a Job as commissioner of schools for Tuscola County. Before he left he appointed Mr. Cooper as his successor. The Student Council has been very active in sponsoring dances, assemblies, and other student activities. Raising money for relief drives such as the Polio Fund and a White Christmas, in which the student body donated canned goods to the people in need, were sponsored by the Student Council. The council also tries to encourage respect for the teachers among the student body, and to build up school spirit for all school activities. The words sportsmanship and citizenship in work and activities are emphasized by the Stuient Council, and the Council hopes that more ideas dealing with the school will be suggested by the students in the coming years. 10 Betty Lou Babcock Vocal 1; Class Treasurer 2, 4.

Chapter No. 51 of the Future Farmers of America at Croswell-Lexington has eighty-five members. There were many very good exhibits at the annual Free Fair held in the gym last fall. The rural schools also took part in this fair. A parent-son banquet was held April 27 in the gym to help the parents learn more about vocational agriculture. The Future Farmers sold Wolverine Hybrid Seed Corn the past year to farmers in this vicinity. The students got a commission for every bushel they sold. Station V.TTH in January broadcast an interview with the club officers, Mr. Rieman and several members.

Inner Willie played by Dick Fuller fixed everything up or so he said. Willie took Carol to the dance and everybody was happy. The supporting cast was Shirley Oliver, Ileen Erbe, Sylvia McLane, Ann McCardle, Barbara Bertich, Marion Kittle, Mary Ann Lieber, Jim Foster, and Lionel Nadjkovic• Miss Nugent as director of the play and Mr. Rieman as adviser did a splendid job.

The cast included 15 members, six boys and nine girls. Jimmie Hunter and Hank Robbins steal the show as they are always finding something to get into. To help things out, Jimmie’s parents go on a few days visit. Miss Sheldon, who is to speak at the Woman's Club, arrives unexpectedly due to Jimmie's not mailing a letter for his mother. When the Hunters return home, they find a most unwelcome sight, due to the fact that an auction sale has been held during their absence. The cast did a very fine job.

The second team didn’t play many rames this year but next season should be a full one for that team. Dear Seniors, Just a note of remembrance to remind you what your class participated in during its four years of progress. September of 1945 was an exciting year for us. We en- tered school as freshmen, frightened at almost every move the upperclassmen would make. As school went on during the month of October, of the same year, we had a little get-to- gether called initiation. The purpose of this was to get acquainted with the members of our class. As the days went on we slowly moved into our Sophomore year, leaving two more years of Joy and carefree fun. Re- member when we planned ahayride, but unfortunately it rained. So a dance was held in the gym. The money we rave for the hayride was put into the treasury as part of our class dues. The school term that year seemed very long because we didn't participate in many activities. All we could look forward to that year was our Junior year, which finally did arrive. Oh Boy I What a year. First one thing then another; selling of magazines came first. The sale was bated on a different principle. The whole student body had an oppor- tunity to sell magazines although fifty per-cent of the pro- fit went to the class of forty-nine. Our rings came next. Some of the class wore their own, while others gave theirs to a porsonal friend. The rinrs were purchased from the Balfour Company, Attleboro, Massachusetts. The big event of the year was the Junior play Cyclone Sally. It proved to be a big success. The last activity of the year was the Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet. This occasion didn't prove successful financially, although it's a pleasure to say we didn't mind the loss because an enjoyable time was had by all. Next came the best, the worst, the happiest, the saddest year of our venture through school. The activities that year were selling of Christmas cards, Senior play, Senior dances, a supper sponsored by our class, and Junior-Senior Prom which the Junior class sponsored. Our sorrow In leaving school is because we are deeply devoted to our classmates, teachers, and others who are attending this school. So Seniors let us not forget to wish all those remaining in school, all the fun and enjoyment that goes hand in hand with their school days. Best of Luck Forty-niners
