In 1949, as a group of fifty-two somewhat inquisitive and frightened students, we met in the study hall to begin our Fresh- man year Our class advisor was Mr. Dimmick, the Principal. The highlight of the year was the long dreaded day when we were to be initiated. We were proud of Nancy Cranna who was elected from our class as queen in the football king and queen contest held for the high school. Our activities consisted of two parties, one a hayride, and the other a class party in the gym. John Bredy was the leader for the class with the assistance of Joanne McConnechie. Beverly Baumeister kept the records and Margaret DeOuvara held our money. Gerry Lawler and Pat Wadsworth represented our class on the Student Council. Forty-nine members began our second Joanne McConnachle Jo Better late than never.■ Basketball 3-4 Senior Play 4 Cheerleader 2-3-4 Class President 4 Vice President 1 Glee Club 4 Band 1-2- 4 Annual Staff 3-4 Geraldine lawler Garry I giggle, giggle as I go.

Six are on the first team and four on the second team. These girls have done a fine Job of creating school spirit and have helped to get bigger attendance at the games. After one year of cheerleading on the first team, each girl receives her megaphone for a Job well done. In November, each school In Michigan was invited to represent their cheerleaders at the University of Michigan's stadium. This year two of the ten girls went to Ann Arbor to be shown certain arts of cheerleading from the U. of M. cheerleaders. Each and everyone of these girls has done her part and the four girls who are graduating this year hope that there will be Just as many girls to follow In their steps to make this important activity more outstanding.

Deckervllle--54 Carsonvllle--29 This game was played at home with Gerry Lawler and Pat Wadsworth each making 11 points and Jean Wallace from Carsonvllle had 11 points, also.

Students In the tenth, eleventh and twelfth grades serve as assistants on the School's library staff. One librarian Is on duty each hour, and during periods when the number of students using the library warrants the services, two li- brarian are available. Reference material and magazines may be charged out for use In the study Row Is hall for one period. Books Row 2s may be charged out for a period of two weeks unless they are designated as over- night or three day books. Overdue books have a fine of two cents a day. One fic- tion and one reference book may be charged out at a time During the summer the teachers worked very hard remodeling the library for the benefit of the students. The walls of the study hall were painted light blue so It would be easier on the eyes when reading or studying. Many books were brought in from rural schools to enlarge the library and new books were added. A committee composed of Mrs. Hawkins, Mrs. Spence, Mrs. Fleck, Mr. Russell, and Mr. Durand picked out new books for the library. Mrs. Hawkins Is in charge of the library. W. Graves, S. Dawson, t.

This year about 35 girls signed up for glee club and also the 7th and 8th grade vocal became a re- quired subject. As a result Interest and knowledge of singing is being brought to pre high school students. The girls’ chorus made a fine contribution to both the Christmas and spring band concerts. Besides these appearances they pre- sented a Christmas pro- gram for the county meeting of the Eastern Star which was held in Deckerville this year. The chorus was also invited to help with the program of the Federation of Women’s Club at their spring meeting which was held in Deckerville. For the first time the members of various school choral groups of the county met at Croswell to participate in a County Choral Festival. This proved very instructive as well as enjoyable for all the members participating. Beverly Barker and Johanna Taylor are the two office student secre- taries this year. The girls are getting practical business experience by working in the office two periods ecch day. Their various duties are typing, recording absence and tardi- ness, making announcements to classes and to faculty members, answering telephone, taking messages, and learning to file.

Lawler, Motes, Blanchard, Brabant Senior yiia oretteJ Despite the losses suffered by the band from graduation and moving awayj the 1951 marching season found the band with a larg- er enrollment than the proceeding year With the purchase of six new uniforms we were able to march forty-two members. Highlights of the formations used by the band at local football games were the lighted pumpkin and witch, and a novelty marching routine. These two were especial- ly well received and helped spark the football season. The only game away from home at which the band marched was the Croswell-Lexington game, which was, as usual, a cold snowy one. The Sperry Parade, held in Port Huron, brought to a close a very busy and enjoy- able marching season for the band. The Annual Christmas Concert put on by the band and Chorus, coming as it did at a very busy and snowy season, was not too well attended. On February 11 the band made its way to Marietta where the annual Sanilac County Band Festival was held this year. A total of 346 band members from all the schools of the county were in attendance. Everyone felt that the time was well spent, both from the standpoint of enjoyment and education. A mid-winter concert by the band that featured mostly various forms of marches was fairly well attended. The Spring concert by the band and chorus highlighted the concert season and brought to a close another busy and profitable year.

The officers for this year ares President, Peter Molsejenko; Vice President, Donald Anderson; Secretary and Treasurer, Dale Decker. Mr. Turco and Mr. Felt are the club advisors. The club's projects for the year consisted of selling re- freshments, sponsoring dances, and other social functions with the proceeds going toward ath- letic equipment. The purpose of the organization is to build school spirit in relation to the various sports, through social functions. The purpose of the Journal- ism Class is to develop the writing skills of the student. In so doing, promptness, ac- curacy, and initiative are also developed. This year seventeen stu- dents compose our class. We are kept quite busy putting out a nine-page weekly paper. Gerry Lawler was elected edi- tor, Pete Molsejenko assistant editor and Jerry Vogelel is our cover artist. Keith Smith and Ralph Dutcher are our sports editors; Joyce Williamson is a very able fashion editor; Daralene Judd and Jessie Mae Bowling ponder over the girls' basketball box scores; Cath- erine Handley manages the Elts 0' News column, while Joyce Hirzke and Beverly Bau- meister do the feature arti- cles.

It has indirectly helped to fur- nish entertainment at noon for all students. Boys’ and girls’ volleyball teams compete on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fri- days. Dancing, and ping-pong furnish the entertainment on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Vol- leyball and ping-pong tourna- ments were also held in the spring. Many free educational films were shown throughout the year and six full length movies were shown at a cost of only 10 cents per student. Perhaps those most enjoyed were Sit- ting Pretty and Hopalong Cassidy. Row 1: Day, Darabos, Horton, Jones, Caaeron, Caswell, Row 2: Mrs. Owin, 0.

A big improvement to the school is the new cafeteria which was made from the old furnace room, commercial room, and coal room of last year. It has been refinished and redecorated for all the children of both buildings to use. The walls are painted grey with red trim. New tables have been placed in the cafeteria and arranged for the students’ enjoyment. At the entrance door the students get their trays and proceed along the counter picking up their food. At the end of the counter the cashier sits • The kitchen consists of three gas stoves, cupboards, electric mixer, supply table, sinks, and a dish washer. The menus are made up by Mrs. Hawkins. Mrs. Gwin and Mrs. Wallace Dun- can are the cooks. Miss Stone, the Home Economics teacher, assists the stu- dents in getting their lunches. The cafeteria is a great improvement, for it is the first time in many years that the students have not had to carry their trays to the study hall to eat. McLean, Scott, Qough, Ritchie, Mrs. Duncan.
