It Is time to sit down and look back over the past four years filled with happy days of fun and frolic, sweat and toll; but four years well-spent Ahl yes, we were small and meek children, labeled as 1946 Fifty-one children were to form the smallest cog In a little wheel of that so essential machine which is the basis of this modern world---education After many false starts and stops, we were finally organized and on our way When the joys of the first few days were over. It v as made very clear to us by the upper classmen, that we were Just little frogs in a big puddle. Washing hot lunch dishes, serving at the Jun- ior-Senior Banquet, initiation, and countless other small jobs no one else was anxious to do were just reminders of that fact. However, no life Is worth living without a little fun, so we were given parties and had the privilege of attending the Junior-Senior Prom. We were conscientious little workers, and, like the bee busily storing winter honey in a comb, we were likewise saving and storing what little money we could make in our treasury. It was disheartening and discouraging, to say the least, for our treasury put one in mind of an empty dresser drawer with a few unstrung beads bouncing about inside. But, we struggled through those two unforgettable semesters, and, by the fall of 1947, the little wheel in the big machine had made a complete turn, and we found ourselves glorious Sophomores.

Some of us were chosen for very exciting parts in the current school play, One Mad Night Some of our boys made the varsity basketball, football, and baseball teams. The long awaited day finally arrived when we were decorated with the 1950 class ring and we were undisputedly accepted as upperclassmen. As the year rolled on, money seeped in from various sources; Class dues, game sale and bake sales made the empty dresser drawer, called our treasury, not so empty any more. The final exams were crammed for, hopefully passed, and, it seemed like no time at all until we were being addressed as Juniors. Work, work, and more work was the theme of our story that year, and each student had a heavier load to carry. Some fellow members v ere lost to other schools, and others wanted a head start at seeking their fortunes in the world by entering into various Jobs. But, just the same, our class progressed • Formal dresses and good suits were brought out of mothballs, and polished Junior Play 3 Senior Play 4 FFA 2-3-4 Junior Play 3 Secretary 3-4 Student Council 3 Librarian 4 Treasurer 1-4 Annual Staff 4 Glee Club Band 1.

No more upper classmen looking down their noses at our little misbehaviors, for we were Seniors, Now we were big frogs in a little puddle. The Senior Play, Grandad Steps Out, was a grand success. Our skip day and the four year dream to come true at last (Our Senior trip to Mackinaw via Lake Michigan) will be memories never to be forgotten. But there is also a serious side we Seniors must look upon with a sober face. Now at last we are at the end of a road. But will the super- highway ahead be rougher, or smoother, than the one we have just passed over? That is one question which we are all eager to find out in the years lying ahead.

It was a not-too-prosperous one for the Deckervllle Eagles, who ended the season In fourth place. Most of the team was Inexperienced and there were many days of hard practice before the coach felt that the team was ready to play against an opponent. The Eagles fought hard and managed to win 3 of the 7 games. Four of the games were played at home, and the only night games were at Yale and Croswell. The weather proved a good ally except for the game at Croswell which was played In a snowstorm on a muddy field EECKERVILLB - 7 N, BRANCH - 0 The Eagles defeated North Branch 7-0 In a surprise opener The game was close until the second half, when Ward Hillman ran 53 yards for a touchdown, with Jack Gough kicking the extra point The ball was on the ground most of the way, but one pass thrown and completed for 15 yards. North Branch threatened In the last quarter, but the Eagles kept them from scoring. DECKERVILIiS - 21 UBLY - 0 The first half was a scoreless game, but In the third quarter Deckervllle began rolling. Tom Walker made the first touchdown followed by another made by Frank O'Mara, with Gough kicking the extra points. Ubly started to get rolling In the last quarter, but lost the ball to the Eagles. Bud Merrlman went across for the third touchdown, with Gough scoring the extra point. The final score-- 21—0 EECKERVILLB - 0 SANDCJSKY - 19 Sandusky was forced to play one of Its hardest games against the Eagles In a somewhat surprising game for the highly-rated Sandusklans. The second quarter was exciting, when Sandusky Intercepted a pass and went for the first touchdown. This was shortly followed by another. In the third quarter their third touobdown was made after Laeder set up the play for Van Nest.

Two more were made in the third and one in the final quarter Yale made 13 first downs to Deckerville s 3 DECKERVILLE - 12 MARLETTE - 8 Deckerville edged out Marlette in the biggest Mid-Thumb upset this year. Every score was set up by a recovered fumble or an Intercepted pass. In the first period Dick Theobald caught a fumble and went to Marlette s 40, where Morauski and Hillman marched down field with Walker taking it across. In the second period Marlette made a 2 point safety from a fumble by Bud Merriman. The second half the tide turned and Marlette made a touchdown with the extra point bouncing off the goal post In the final quarter Wayne Duncan inter- cepted a pass, and Morauski zigzagged 55 yards to score the final touchdown.

VILLE 21 YALE 29 DECKERVILLE 21 YALE 64 The basketball team got off to a comparatively slow start, but steadily im- proved. There were only two experienced first team players from the preceding year, Don Forrester and Wayne Duncan. We also had a new coach, and the players had to get used to him and his method of playing basketball. The team reached its highest peak just before the Christmas vacation, when they beat Croswell by a score of 36 to 28. Afterwards, the boys seemed to have lost all of their spirit. They bowed to Marlette oy a score of 66 to 35. The team beat Carson- ville, but then bowed to Yale and Sandusky. The boys practiced often and hard, and fought for every game win or lose. Wayne Duncan, Don Forrester, Roger Pattullo, Jack Gough, and Dan Morauski made the first string and held them through the complete season. Don Forrester was the high scorer for the season with 144 points, an average of 9 points per game. Wayne Duncan followed with 126 points. Jack Gough with 110 points, Roger Pattullo with 101 points, and Dan Morauski with 90 points. Frank 0 Mara, Tom Walker, Max Fockler, Dick Theobald, Keith Smith, Norman Rickett. and Ward Hillman filled in the rest of the first team. These boys made stiff competition for the first five, and they had to work to keep their positions. Keith Smith finished the last half of the season on the Junior Varsity, but was promoted to the first team just before the tournament along with Dale Pearson. Bud Merriman and Bill Lichter served as managers. SECOND TEAM The second team basketball squad consisted primarily of Sophomores and Freshmen. Inexperienced to start with, the boys won only three games, but they practiced hard and improved steadily throughout the season. Dale Pearson was high point man with a total of 67. Don Lenk and Norman Rickett followed with 32 points each. Others were Roger Noble, 30 points; Keith Smith, 29; Don Anders or 28; Don DeLon 25; and Ward Hillman, 23 DECKERVTLLE 13 SANDUSKY 53 DECKERVTLLE 16 SANDUSKY 41 DECKERVILLE 22 HARBOR BEACH 52 DECKERVTLIE 10 PECK 28 DEuKKRVILLE 29 CARSONVTLLE 5 DECKERVTLLE 19 NORTH BRANCH 23 DECKER VTLLE 18 NORTH BRANCH 17 DECKERVTLLE 21 CROSWELL 22 DBCKERVTLLE 25 CROSWELL 34 DECKER VILLE 23 MARLETTE 55 DECKKKVILLE 36 MARLETTE 52 DECKERVTLLE 19 PECK 29 DECKERVI TUE 21 CARSONVTLLE 10 DECkKR V1T.TE 26 BROWN CITY 45 DECKER VTLLE 16 TALE 32 DECKERVTLLE 32 TALE 43 Row Is MacDonald, Wadsworth, Dutchar, Whelan, Brady, Anderson, Poterek, Lenk, Trepkoski, Coach Krawczak.

Donna Burgess came out as high scorer with 46 points. Pat Wadsworth had 29; Shirley McConnachie, 24; Lois Gough, 23; Maxine Russell, 12; and Lucille Anderson and Joyce Maynard had 7 points each. The girls that will be leaving the team this yearare Lois Gough, Shirley McConnachiq Maxine Russell, Lillian, Rich, Joyce Anderson, Joyce Maynard, Sally Reid, and Gloria Hoffman. The season opener was with Sandusky. The girls felt keenly about losing this one because of the great rivalry between the two schools. Ardis Kipp scored 20 of the 22 points for Sandusky. The scores 11-22. The Brown City game boosted the Deckerville morale, as it was their first victory of the season. The score: 39-8. The Croswell girls defeated Deckerville after a hard fought game. This made it two years in a row for Croswell. The score: 25-6. The girls came back with a victory against Carsonville. After a slow start, Shirley McConnachie and Donna Burgess took six points apiece. The score: 26-6. The girls then journeyed over to Sandusky with a determination to score a win. They concentrated on trying to prevent Ardis Kipp from shooting. In the process, all of the guards but two were called out on fouls. The score: 14-26 This can be called one of the most exciting games of the season, be- cause the score kept changing hands. The Deckerville girls all were big smiles when the game ended with Deck- erville one point in the lead. The score: 19-18, ending Croswell's streak. The game with Ruth was unusual in that It was played with a double drib- ble the first half, and a continuous dribble the second half. Deckerville was ahead until the last 30 seconds, when Ruth made one more basket to come out one point ahead. The score was finally: 13-14. In the quickest game they ever played, Deckerville beat Carsonville when the game was called at the end of the first quarter due to road con- ditions. The score: 2-1.

SAND The senior band, oompoaed of forty-five members is making ever-increasing progress under the direction of Mr Adrian S Hurley Through the hard work of all the band members and the greatly'appreciated help from the various women's clubs of Deok- erville, the band has finally been able to purchase new band and majorette uniforms They really look quite snappy now They have really done their part toward the entertainment of the spectators at home basketball and football juries. They marched at Croswell at a night game and also Journeyed to Port Huron to play in the Sperry Santa Claus parade. The band went to Cass City to a district music festival in March They also had a spring concert in April.

This year s Beginner and Junior Band consists of thirty members. Many of these will be entering the Senior Band next year. The raijorettes have performed on many occasions this school year. They have done their part in leading the band at all of the home football g mes, and they also journeyed to Port Huron with the band to participate in the Sperry Santa Claus parade. This was quite an important event because it was their first chance to show off their new white satin uniforms. Since Christmas the girls have twirled at some of the home basketball games, and a special feature one evening was a performance on roller skates. In March they participated in the Festival at Cass City. Smith Nauman Srock Lank M A J LIBRARY a 1 Arr The Library Staff is an organization supervised by Mr. Fleck, consisting of fourteen students.
