These are the trademarks of our competent faculty. Although we sometimes criticize and argue, we know the teachers feel genuine concern for us, and try to help us prepare to meet the future. Without this thorough preparation, we could not walk confidently into the years ahead. Yes, they have all contributed to our appreciation of what a good education really means in this modern world.

Yes, good fun and exercise. But you know. there's still another point to be made-a goal to reach. We continually hear that cry for good sportsmanship. Win or lose, take it like a sport! Pyramids and tumbling exercises keep the boys in good condition. Social Stlldi6S -l Make Democracy Mean More What a wealth of knowledge we have at our disposal in the various branches of our social studies department! How fascinating is the study of our history. of our government and our democratic way of life. which we are so inclined to take for granted. We begin to realize how many freedoms we enjoy. and we discover how much toil, hardship. and heartaches our ancestors endured to gain for us all these privileges. When a student graduates from our high school, he goes forth into the world with a clear perception of his rights and privileges, and also his duties as an American citizen. .2 Part of the work in Government class includes a knowl- edge of current events, which are discussed once each week.

Develop Appreciation .Xi fish'- More than 14,000 volumes are available to the students, who nearly fill the library each hour of the day. The music and art departments give us an ap- preciation of the finer things of life. From the band room come the familiar birdlike sounds of the piccolo. the mellow note of the bari- tone, the sweet music of the clarinet, the boom- boom of the drum, and other various sounds which combine to form our fine band. In the glee club. we hear the sopranos, altos. tenors, and basses striving to improve their singing voices, and to blend them into harmonious melodies. We find a different kind of culture in the art room, where we learn to work with clay, to pro- portion correctly in drawing and painting, and to understand the language of artists. The library. too, presents a form of culture. Here we find all types of books, and with the help of our competent staff, we can obtain almost any information our hearts may desire.

A group of seniors get a glance at the new Eatonian, deli- vered immediately after the Move-Up assembly. As the class of 1957 looks back on the past four years of school, they see all of the memorable things that are now history. There are faded bits of paper. pressed flowers. newspaper clippings. all the many things that go with having fun. Among our memories we recall our class parties. two class plays. the Prom. the receiving of class rings. working on the Eatonian and the Senior Bark - all of this climaxed by our train trip to Chicago on May 31. Having fun, but still working for the school. members of the class have participated in all group activities. The boys have done their part in football. basketball. baseball. and track. Both boys and girls have participated in club work. vocal music and band. forensic contests. journal- istic activities. and cheerleading. Together the class worked. and during their senior year tried to set a good example for the underclassmen to follow. M9409 ARDY SLIPS, spot quizzes, lost books! Yes, we're the future gradu- ating classes of Eaton Rapids High School. We've a great deal to learn and many books to study before we can take our places as seniors, but we are getting there a year at a time. Important years, all of them.

In the fall there was the thrill of choosing and ordering class rings and still a bigger thrill when the rings finally came in December. The two big events of the year were the Junior- Senior Prom and the play. Everyone was busy working on the Prom which was held the evening of May 3. The play, Dr. Hudsonlr Secret Journal, was presented on April 4 and 5 by a cast of twenty. For the first time in many years a class made some important decisions in their junior year. They chose their class colors, mint green and white, their flower, a rose, and their motto, 'tNot merely to exist, but to amount to something in life. In readiness for their senior year, the juniors chose the photographer who will take the senior pictures. Filling their obligations during Com- mencement Week, decorating for class night and ushering concluded their activities.

Chief among their projects this year was the organization of student-controlled study halls. The systems of several other schools were studied dur- ing the first semester and a similar plan effected in our school during the second semester. A delegation was sent to the University of Michigan Student Council Day at Ann Arbor in October, and the entire Student Council received many helpful hints for next year at the Capital Circuit meeting of Councils at Charlotte in March. The Student Council, our school governing body, is the most important and necessary of all school organizations, and with it rests a great deal of responsibility. Because the size of the Council was reduced by having only the classes represented, it was able to function much more efficiently. Another change was made, so that more potential leaders will have an opportunity to become class officers or Student Council representatives.

Y-Teens, Hi-Y D The Y-Teens, as a service club, try to achieve their goal of helping the community in any way they can. One of their many goals this year was to admin- ister help to our own sick and needy. Toys and clothes were brought by many members to fill sev- eral baskets, later distributed in our community. In order to pay the final installment on their hos- pital pledge, the Y-Teens sold candy. The main social event sponsored by the Y-Teens was Candy Cane Lane, a semi-formal Christmas dance, chaperoned by the sponsors,Miss Mohney and Miss Yanke, and by Mr. Treadway. Under the supervision of Mr. Horn, the Hi-Y boys started the year right by sponsoring the an- nual Thanksgiving assembly program. In an effort to gain a better understanding of all religions, the boys held discussions on the various churches of the area. The pastors of several chur- ches spoke before the club explaining their beliefs. For recreation, twice a month the boys attend the Canteen. and on alternate weeks they play bas- ketball in the little gym. The boys sold magazines and school pens as their money-making projects.

The eighth grade. under the direction of Mr. Meyer. have had a skating party, an ice-fishing trip, archery contests. and a hunters' safety instruc- tion course. The seventh grade. directed by Mr. Hope. are learning the basic fundamentals of conservation. Their group activities have included a skating par- ty. movies. and a demonstration of archery equip- ment by John Miller from the Gamble store. shooting program.

A brand new organization was started this Year when the students who were interested in becoming teachers, formed a local organization of the Future Teachers of America, with Mrs. Mattson as the sponsor. Their purpose is to secure accurate information on vocational opportunities in education. They also study the qualities. traits, and aptitudes which are basic or related to successful teaching. During the year the group visited 21 college cam- pus. Several members attended the County F.T.A. dinner in April to become acquainted with other clubs and their work.

The Key Club is a service club. lts main goals are to improve and encourage leadership through respon- sibility. This year the Key Club, with Mr. Potts as the 'f A club sponsor. raised its membership to thirty-two. Q Q and started out the year by helping the teachers at 1' K the home football games. During the annual maga- zine sale the Key Club came out on top high A fx I1 seller, and with this money they paid off their ' if ? Sl80.00 pledge to the hospital. During january the Key Club set out March ' of Dimes Canisters and sold Blue Crutches for the polio drive.

VElI'Sity lub - Expands Any student having been awarded a varsity let- ter is eligible for membership in the Varsity Club. Its most important aims are to improve school spirit and to promote more interest in athletics. Mr. Van Meer and Mr. Schwab are the sponsors. Two changes in the rules governing the club were made this year. One was an improved awards sys- tem for the letterwinners, and another was a new ruling permitting all varsity letterwinners to wear their letters on white sweaters. The Varsity Club again sponsored the Homecom- ing Queen Ceremony and the annual Senior-lfaculty game. G. A .A. 1 Seeks Points The GA..-X. is the Girls Athletic Association. lt is sponsored by Mrs. Garbus and is limited to stu- dents in the tenth, eleventh. and twelfth grades who are eager to promote sportsmanship. One of the club's many goals is for girls to earn points toward honor awards given to them after attending meetings and participating in the many activities. When members of the G.A.A. graduate from high school, if they have accumulated 600 points, their names are signed to an honor scroll. Throughout the year the G.A.A. girls go bowling, hiking, ice-skating, and take part in other activi- ties. They also sponsor a school dance each year.

One of the - highlights of the season was a dance routine to ' 4'Blue Suede Shoes, which seemed to fit right in with the current rock 'n roll trend. Although the daily marching practice was hard work, it was all well worth the effort when the band marched on the field to the familiar strains of f'Yarsity.

The Pep band played at the home basketball games, adding that much-needed touch of spirit to the home crowd. Concert work continued until March, which was the month for the annual band concert. Even though its routine work is over, the band still manages to keep in practice with evening con- certs during the summer months. The Strawberry Festival, which is held annually on the Island. is sponsored by the Band Boosters. The year has been a very eventful one for the Eaton Rapids High School band. The participation of each band member, although it does require extra work and cooperation, proves to be a valuable ex- perience. r Sharon Leatherbery, Judy Moulton, head majorette, Gloria DcLano.

Young Bandsmen The Junior Band and the newly-formed Begin- ners' Band give young musicians experience for reaching higher goals. These musicians have already come a long way since they first decided they wanted to become band members. Chances are they didnt realize how difficult it would be to play an instrument, or the long hard hours of practice and the rliscouragement they would experience when they lose their chairs in tryouts. Although it is difficult to become band members. the rewards are great. They gain a sense of respon- sibility and the willingness to work with others. Most important of all. they learn that contributing to an organization is what brings real satisfaction.

Yes, Green Valley, a comedy-fantasy, was suc- cessfully produced by the Class of '57 on the eve- nings of November 15 and 16. A fantastic, impossible story presented itself when Tobias J. Everheel, a great landowner, tried to Hslickerw Eldon Berry out of his land in Green Valley. The Berry Ancestors came back to help Eldon, and from then on, a chain of incredible events carried the story along to a happy climax.

Thus the 1957 EATONIAN staff began to realize early in the year the amount of time and thought necessary for a successful yearbook. Two important changes have been effected this year in the yearbook staff organization. First. the members meet one hour each day as a regular class. which has cut down the amount of time needed out- side of school hours. Then, twelve juniors have worked with the staff in order to learn the funda- mentals of yearbook planning. Careful workers paste up pictures and copy to meet the four deadlines. ' 1' V ' 9 5 E' .

They Schwab. Standing: Coach Emmer, Coach Lewallen and Coach Fiegelson. The Greyhound football team, under a new coach, Raymond Van Meer, didnit fare too well this year. They won one game, lost six, and tied one. With only eight returning lettermen and five starting seniors, Coach Van Meer knew this would be a building year. Injuries also played their part in Eaton Rapids, fate. Early in the season it was discovered that the starting center, Larry Tidwell, would be lost for the remainder of the season with a back injury. , After the season had gotten under way, Bruce ' Conard and Dick Caterino suffered foot injuries which kept them out of two games. Later, in the Mason game, Caterino suffered a broken ankle and Jon Lane broke the crest of his hip bone, putting them both out of commission for the all-important Charlotte game. That left two of the five senior players to start in the annual battle for the Little Brown Jug. In the contest, Neil Strang suffered a hair-line fracture of the leg. Prospects in the new league next year look good with nineteen lettermen gaining valuable experience this year. - W t . if -li' are, seated : Coach Van Meer, and Coach Front Row: Bill Crandall, Manager.

Although the new coach, Mr. Lewallen, lost a number of his starting boys to the Varsity in mid- season, those that were left worked hard to gain grid experience for future varsity games. These Reserves showed plenty of spirit and determination. Their toughest game was with East Lansing, a team that is always hard to beat. The Pups lost 13 to 6, but fought until the final whistle. The junior High football team, coached this year by Mr. Fiegelson, played only one game. They won from St. Johns by a score of 13 to 7. Nearly sixty boys showed up the first day for practice, but the number decreased to thirty-tive. The experience gained by the players on any of the teams will train them in citizenship and human relations.

Aitken grabs the rebound from the Orioles. Captain Reese attempts to narrow the gap in the Char- lotte score. The Varsity basketball team won only three games this year. Two of those victories were non- conference games, leaving the Greyhound cagers in the conference cellar with only one league victory. The Greyhounds occasionally showed plenty of desire and teamwork, but they failed to have the necessary punch. One bright spot during the season was that sev- eral freshmen and sophomores played in Varsity games, giving them experience that should help them during their junior and senior years. Injuries weren't too hard on the team. although Dick Caterino was unable to play half the season because of a broken ankle suffered in football. Larry Tidwell also was out the entire season be- cause of a back injury. With freshmen and sophomores gaining experi- ence, basketball should show a bigger promise in the future.

The freshmen, playing as a unit, looked good in the two games they played, winning them both from Mason. The Reserves might have had a better season, but several of their players were promoted to the Varsity. The team as a whole had determination and spirit, which shows their willingness to play even though they do lose. FfU71fROTi'-' Phillip Mcliessy. Gene Holley, Jeff Sage Michael Harris, David Hillard.

Both teams played eight games. Though they did lose a majority of their games, both teams showed plenty of fighting determination that will help them in their Reserve and Varsity years.

The baseball team this year had only three re- turning lettermen, with the rest of the team com- posed mostly of freshmen and sophomores. At the time of this writing they had played and lost one game of a thirteen-game schedule. This year a new spring sport, golf, was intro- duced with Mr. Emmer as the coach. The team was formed late in the spring with about ten boys playing on the Bonnie View course. Interschool matches were played with: Charlotte, Mason, Ever- ett, and Holt.

Innelders get fundamentals from Coach Intramural Program Offers Variety Intramural sports are enjoyed by those who don't partcipate on varsity teams. Some of the sports offered for boys were basketball and soft- ball. For the girls it was basketball. tumbling. and softball. Volleyball and dancing were enjoyed by both.

Several girls are chosen early in the year to assist in the principals office one hour each day under Mrs. Squires' supervision. Ten students are named to serve as reeeptionists to greet visitors and keep the lower hall quiet during classes. These students are picked by the Student Council and are trained by Mr. Luce. Students volunteer to serve on the library staff, working as assistants to Miss Thompson one hour each day for one-fourth credit per semester. These students divide their time between the senior and junior libraries. OFFICE ASSISTANTS Janice Sprague, Mrs. Squires, Laura Treadway, Carol Clarke, Vivian Galusha, Mary Ann Kowalk.

And, finally, how could we get along without the maintenance staff, who take care of our buildings and furnishings, and are always ready to help us prepare for our school functions?
