Throughout our high school career we have been fortunate in the many courses available to us, and for- tunate also in the teachers provided for us. Without their personal inter- est and willing assistance we would have been at a great disadvantage. Has OUR WORLD of Study here at Eaton Rapids High School trained us to become participating. constructive citizens in the world community? We who have benefited from the complete exposure to class work would emphatically answer Yes, New Principal Stresses Student Responsibility 2 27 Among their numerous other duties Mr Fransted and his secre tary Mrs Dons Squires are responsible for the records of 860 students The students and faculty of Eaton Raplds Hlgh school started the school year w1th a new prm Clpal Mr Richard Fransted, who came to us from Readmg, M1ch1gan Mr Fransted IS contmumg to stress the fact that each student is responsible for the develop ment of his own 1nd1v1dual tralts of worth self reliance loyalty and integrity To carry th1s out, students have been given the opportunity to prove their reliability by securing their own absence excuses Mr Fransted has set forth this specific goal for the htgh school students domg as good a job as possible in whatever task they set out to do 1n their world of school EIHHIFS Mrs Margie Converse assistant secretary tn the mam office has a variety of bookkeeping records to keep One of her daily dunes IS to check in the candy sales mo :ey with Jerry James student chairman of this activity Rev E A Kelford school attendance ofiicer calls at the principal s offices early each morning for hts datly assignment Mrs Marlon Hargrave who assists in the library in the afternoon spends her mornlngs as Mr Horns assistant in the guidance room Accumulatnve student records are in her keeping . .

The doors of science and math are open wide, but those who enter must be qualified. Students enter through the doors of general math and junior high science. Algebra, geometry, biology, physics and chemistry unravel further mysteries. It is hard to believe that here in high school we have only skimmed the surface. MR. T. ROY SOLDWISH. has a BS. degree from Bowling Green University and an M.A. from Michigan State University. He teaches junior high science and mathematics.

Our world has grown smaller through rapid means of communication. lt is essential that we learn to communicate accurately both in oral and written forms. Ellective communication promotes better understandingg to live together peacefully we need this understanding. We start early in school learning the funda- mentals of grammar and composition. This study and practice continues for the remainer of our school years. In addition, each year we are given a chance to become familiar with the great liter- ature of the world.

In a world of mounting scientific discoveries, intricate ma- chines, rush and tension, music can relax our minds. Art is a means of release, too. It can take many different forms. Often art students, with the help of the instructor, discover hidden talents. Physical education definitely has its place in our modern world. Mechanization will not replace a strong, healthy body. Physical fitness is of utmost importance to every citizen. Science has done a great deal for our health, but it hasn't replaced our need for individual exercise. MR.

Instruc tion in etiquette, entertaining, interior decorating food preparation, child care, home nursing, and sewing, are all included in today's homemakmg COUFSCS. The production of food and fiber is basic to progress in other fields of development. Our agri cultural courses strive to instruct young people about farming and related professions. Agricul ture students require many fields of study neces sary to meet the demands of our modern world Learning of the scientific feeding of livestock selecting types of farming suitable to the area experimentation with soils, and studying market ing factors prepare students to be producers of an abundance of agricultural products.

In keeping with our aim at education for the modern day, our school curriculum has expanded to include driver training as a required subject. Another addition has been the Co-op program. This program gives the student the opportunity to attend classes one-half the day, and to get on- the-job training the other, with credit for this work. Along with an expanded school comes the need for a larger staff of workers. Our janitors and bus drivers fill the major part of this need, but the students also help. Some work in the ollice and in the library as assistants, while others learn to run the movie projectors and other visual edu- cation equipment. .IANITORS Ford Bowman Howard Rouse BUS DRIVERS Kneeling: Paul Burkholder.

Par- ticipation in extracurricular activities and membership in school or- ganizations give us a chance to learn further, and to live and work co-operatively. The ability to do this will be necessary in the con- stantly contracting universe of affairs soon to become our responsibility.

Three Conservation Groups Include Many Students The conservation clubs represent a very large number of the students in our school system. The eighth grade alone has eighty members. There are three different groups: the seventh grade is spon- sored by Mr. Hopeg the eighth grade is sponsored by Mr. Baker and Mr. Franstedg the high school group is sponsored by Mr. Rich. The purpose of these clubs is to promote the conservation of natural resources and to learn firearm safety. Though most students believe that this is a boys, club, an increasing number of girls are joining the club each year. Four girls belong to the senior high Conservation Club. Here Dora Brown.

To carry out this goal the club instituted into their membership requirements a plan whereby each girl gives four hours of service to the community. Club activities began with the selling of candy to raise money to send two girls to the Mid- Winter Conference. This was followed by their annual Christmas Assembly and caroling at the local convalescent homes. Snowflake Symphony, the outstanding social event of the first semester, was given December 23 at the V.F.W. Home. Students and alumni danced to the music of Eldon Gates' orchestra as guests of the Y-Teens.

One of the outstanding services of the club is the annual presentation of the Thanksgiving As- sembly before the student body. Reverend Kime of the Congregational Church was the guest speaker. One of the many activities of the year was the selling of pens and pencils to raise money to send club representatives to the Twin Valley and Older Boys' Conferences, and to summer camp at Torch Lake. At official meetings speakers came in to discuss the services offered by business concerns and clubs around the community.

Junior Red Cross Is Good Will Ambassador The Junior Red Cross, under the direction of Mrs. Horn and Mrs. Maxey. is doing its part in encouraging world friendship by providing for M the depressed peoples of our world an almost endless list of good will services. For example, JRC members send gift boxes to our friends abroad and bring cheer to the local convalescent homes. The club has such a wonderful sense of co- operation that it must, indeed, have a feeling of last summer at J. R. C. Leadership Camp. satisfaction for doing such a fine job.

The Senior Band started the year with quite a few changes. With Mr. Mackie, the new direc- tor, and Dave Quimby, first drum major in many years, the band had a high step and a livelier spirit. During the marching season the band kept a fast pace, dancing the Charleston and doing fas- cinating formations, with the help of charts cre- ated by Mr. Mackie. The band was kept busy throughout the winter, with one public concert and the Christmas Sing. They gave a school concert enjoyed by faculty and students alike. Under the direction of the drum major the pep band added spirit to the bas- ketball games. Early in the spring the band started marching again. The prospect of a proposed summer trip made willing workers of the band members. The extra effort produced an improved band.

In Beginners' Band they leam the fundamentals of music. This is their first experience in playing with others. The next step upward is Junior Band. Here the music is more difficult and the competition stiffer. The young bandsmen learn and practice the fun- damentals of marching. Their musical skills are developed further. The Junior Band gave a con- cert for the P. T. A. They also marched in the Memorial Day parade. A group of vocalists, who met once each day, also experienced the satisfaction of becoming a musical unit capable of performing satisfactorily before the public.

September found the group organized into a staff which met as a class during fifth hour each day. The advertising and circulation campaigns kept the entire group busy while plans for the book were taking linal shape. Then the real work began. Each member ot' the stall' had his own special duties. but everyone, even the junior apprentices learned to do everything. All drew dummy pages. wrote copy. pasted pages. sold advertising and yearbooks. and were still on duty to distribute the 550 books on June 2.

Coach Van Meer had ample material for building a team. The result of six wins and two losses proves that he did a creditable job. achieving third place in the newly-formed West Central B League. Though the Asian Flu epidemic did hit Eaton Rapids. it did not bother the team to any great extent. There were very few games that had a starter out of the lineup with an injury or illness. The Greyhounds exploded in their first two encounters. downing the Leslie Blackhawks and St. Johns Red Wings by 39-6 and 38-6 counts. In the third encounter the picture changed as the Hounds squeezed past lonia I4-IZ on Brad Sage's extra points. passing to Peterson for the first and kicking the other. The next two games saw the locals go down to defeat at the hands of the Charlotte Orioles and the Belding Redskins, the teams that took first and second in the League. To round out the schedule the Hounds downed the Grand Ledge Comets. Hastings Saxons. and the Greenville Yellowjackets in that order. the Greenville game being played in a blinding snow storm.

Yes, this was an excited crowd who eagerly awaited the evenings activities. Tonight was an important night. The three previous games had gone in our favor, and now we were to meet un- defeated Charlotte.

The outcome?- A decided victory for the rival Orioles-27-6. True, this put a damper on the crowds spirits. but the bands efforts at half-time, in their per- formance of School Life, Then and Now, eased the pain of defeat somewhat. Afterwards, the crowded Homecoming Dance, held in the gym, which was gayly decorated to depict the colors and symbols of the West Central League schools, further helped to salve our wounded pride. ,Y 5' saf x' NWN V' .v ,.+ 'H ,NIJ J .LIL v Q . 1 K' I x an .

Inexperience and periodic letdown seemed to hamper the Grey- hounds. Winning only three games and losing others by very close scores was very disheartening to the squad. In our second game Charlotte defeated us by the narrow margin of three points. After losing the next two games we defeated St. Johns and then lonia. only to meet defeat at the hands of Grand Ledge by one point. One of our best games was the night we met a fired-up five at Hastings, who beat us by two points. Our third victory came when we defeated Grand Ledge in our next to the last game.

Doug Clark, Coach Emmer, Martin Lowery, Ron Elston, Neil Strang. Mitchell Richardson. With several seasoned sophomores on the team this year, the Reserve squad compiled a record of nine wins and six defeats. This is one of the best records Coach Emmer's Reserves have racked up since he has been Reserve coachn The Reserves might have had an even better record. but Dick Huntington and Jim Lane, the team captains, were elevated to Varsity status mid-way through the season. To gain more playing experience Dick returned to the Reserves toward the end of the season, bolstering the offense with his shooting ability. Next year's Varsity squad will certainly be given a big boost with the addition of these experienced Reserves.

The seventh and eighth grade teams went through a rough season this year. They chalked up one victory in twelve starts. This was a very decisive victory over Holt in which the seventh grade scored 27 points to Holt's 4. The eighth grade could not achieve a victory, though they did come within two points of their opponents in their last game with Holt. Though the win column was broken only once, these teams show great potential for future Var- sity and Reserve teams.

The cheerleading squad is an important group in influencing the school spirit and keeping team morale high. The squads this year were led by three head cheerleaders: Sharon Collins, Varsityg Paige Hasty, Reserveg and Kathy McHugh, Junior High. The cheerleaders were chosen at tryouts which were held several weeks before school was out last year. With the guidance and help of Miss Dutcher and Mr. Bredeweg, they have ful- filled the responsibility of putting on pep meet- ings and cheering at games.

A1 Preparation of a student for a full. well-rounded life in such a world as we are entering entails a great deal. It cannot all be done in the classroom. For that reason. a balanced school program, such as that of our Alma Mater, leaves some time for fun. We are taught to play as well as to work. And while we are enjoying ourselves. what goes on in the wider world? New drugs are compounded: the pole is successfully reachedg a satellite is tested. Does this mean we are wasting time? Perhaps, but all this is preparing us for the time when these world-shaking events will be in our hands. and we must be ready. Service 'W .fp Q While the nations have been building Sputniks and Explorers. ERHS has been building. too- the personalities of individuals. A step in this personality growth is service. the assuming of responsibility beyond the required amount.

QUILL AND SCROLL Rowe ! x Joanne Cheney, Barbara Rogers, wit I ' O C ci To wear the keystone and torch. symbolizing the qualities of the National Honor Society. is the highest achievement for a high school senior. The fifteen chosen, on the basis of their scholarship, leadership, character, and service, are fine ex- amples of today's youth, who are reaching toward the ultimate goal of becoming useful citizens in the world of tomorrow. Quill and Scroll, like the Honor Society, is not active, but merely an honorary organization. Its purpose is to give recognition to those who have shown scholastic and journalistic ability by giving of their time and service for the betterment of Eaton Rapids High School publications. Those wearing this pin are automatically members of thc international organization. Sue Sprague, Mrs. Rich, Jim OUR WORLD-Completed This has been our year of years-1958. And its significance? To those of us who are graduating it means the collection of memories, happy and sad, the closing of the door on our high school lives, the opening of the door to an uncertain future. Regardless of what the future holds for us, regardless of the discoveries and scientific data accumulated during IGY, regardless of the great changes which the future must hold for all of us throughout the world, OUR WORLD here in Eaton Rapids High School was a good one. It was filled with things that make a full and happy life for teen-agers, and we are grate- ful to all who helped make it so. As we close our book we wish to say to all of you, Goodbye, and thank you for OUR WORLD. Baldwin, Lynn Comps, Carl J. W www Foote, J. B., D.D.S. Grandy, Edward, D.C. Johnson, H. P., D.V.M. Lowery, G.
