As we attend school we are inspired by those around us. Growth comes from our ability to see this op- portunity and learn from it. Our development begins in elementary school where character and personality are emphasized instead of studies. Elementary school gives way to another growth-physical development. In junior high school, tomboys begin to act like ladies, voices change and dating begins. These thirteen and fourteen year olds look up to high school students to find the right way to act. When high school is reached, the final stage of development begins, that of mental growth. Studies gain prominence as students prepare for the adult world beyond high school. Growth is a continuous process throughout our lives. The following pages are a record of one segment of our development and growth. 1' , In I, ,J W' . ,A '. . .

Or, at least, that's why Mom says I have to go to school. Kindergarten doesn't seem to teach me very much. I've gone for almost a week now and our class must be behind. We haven't learned any- thing about reading or writing or even printing. Of course, playing house and singing new songs is fun! One thing I'll have to give Mrs. Buck- ley credit for-she did teach ustop lights. Before we had stop lights I wasn't really sure whether you went on the green or red light. Now I know! Mom is very happy about my progress. She told Dad, one night when I was sup- posed to be asleep, that I am sociable now. My new friend Linda doesn't think I'm sociable but she likes me anyway. dministration Prepares for New School Mr' Kelsey Morgan, Trustee?

This year, school board, adminis- tration, and faculty worked together to solve the many problems of constructing a new high school. It was an opportunity for all to make bene- ficial curriculum and equipment changes. Each worked towards an up-to-date, improved high school while keeping thrift in mind. The respon- sibility of carrying out the wishes of towns- people and faculty was a large one. Planning and working together towards a common goal developed unity between faculty, administra- tion, and school board. if inf 5 .V F , . . if ff' T if t N ' i l t ' M. Dr. Alton W. Cowan, Ed.

Mr. Horn and Mrs. Allswede help students with personal and scholastic problems. Any student who has a problem is welcomed at either office. There a counselor will talk to him, help him understand what is causing his problem and what he can do to solve it. Falling marks may well be raised in the process. Counselors do a service not only to their school system, but to every student who walks into their office. Mrs. Eva Smith, Mrs. Marion Hargrave, and Mrs. Doris Squires take a break from their secretarial duties to discuss common problems. Counselors' ffices pen To ll -aff ...cw flrs. Judy Allswede, B,A.

Improves Communication Knowledge is passed on through talking and writing. Skill in these two subjects is essential before any student can learn. Eleven, twelve for many, years of schooling include English. Verbs, diagramming and book reports may not seem important to English students, but it is through these that all English teachers acquaint their charges with grammar and composition. Some poise in public speaking must be acquired, and speaking in front of English class may be the only way for many. Individual, creative work is encouraged through composition. Eng- lish is our language, without skill in its use, no person can survive in his job or social life. l all. 44. Mrs. Florence Maxey, A.B. Washington Universityg Jr. High English and History.

Without a basic understanding of our country's history in relation to the world, they will not be able to make our country strong in the future. Candidates must be seen objectively before a proper choice can be made. History teaches many things, but above all it prepares. The terms U.N., Common Market, and Senate Investigating Committee, don't mean much until one understands the struggles that established and maintained each. Social Stud- ies, World History, U.S. History, U.S. Govern- ment and International Problems are the courses our school offers. These demonstrate and explain America's past and present. We learn how difficult it was to break England's bonds, how bloody it was too maintain our free- dom, not only from George III but from Hitler. Not until we understand how much our coun- try has meant to others do we appreciate what it should mean to us. Struggles against Krush- chev and Castro take on importance, and Com- munism becomes a personal threat. History Students Gain ...ii KX A. I ,f A Q he Mr. C-harles Mikkelsen, A.B.

Perhaps this is what Science teaches. Electricity, automobiles, and nuclear bombs weren't accidents. Future in- ventions won't be either. Biology begins to dig into the miracle of life. Chemistry explains theories and scientific prin- ciples of chemical experiments. Physics looks to physical principles such as levers and electricity. .Nb These courses may excite some to scientific careers, but for others it increases awareness. Curiosity is deepened or perhaps reawakened as desires to understand are encouraged. Yi 4 I . X 5. kj' il ' '2 ff 1 'f 1 X N- Mr. .Roy Soldwish, B.S.

Mr. Placzek shows two students their mistakes. Slide rules, triangles and X's become tools through which calculations can be acquired. Not many will become mathematicians but basic ideas will stick. Such things as trigonomethic functions may be forgotten as soon as possible but how many housewives need to be able to figure the cosine of a right triangle in their grocery lists? Then too, every person, no matter what his profession, needs to discipline to see a problem through to its solution. Geometry, Al- gebra and Trigonometry are important then, whether their students are to become engineers or mothers. .. 4 ,,,,a M S wifi Mr. William Williams, A.B., M.A. Michigan State Uni- versityg Algebra I and II, and Advanced Math.

Business education at Eaton Rapids enables students to gain the fundamentals of secretarial work-shorthand. typing, and bookkeeping-and the operation of business machines. From here a graduate may continue his training in college or secure a paying job as a secretary. With the increase in business today, opportunities are infinite for the well- trained student.

In Eaton Rapids, children are exposed to music and art in the elementary grades. If a definite interest is shown, instruction can be continued through junior high and high school in the fields of vocal and instrumental music, and all forms of art.

This was not a club as no business meet- ings were held. Students began by reading plays to familiarize themselves with acting. Some of these were taped for elementary children to hear. Most of the time was spent preparing two one- act plays, a farce and a drama, which were pre- sented to the student body in March. The success of this new group has been through hard work and interest in acting. Slade, Judy Sheldon, Carole White, Jon Babcock, Bruce Nettleman.

Numbers were an advantage because many more activities and events could be held than would have been possible with a smaller group. Eaton Rapids was canvassed twice by this club, once for the muscular dystrophy drive, and once for the chocolate candy drive to raise money for next year's foreign student. A tied score was the result when Y-Teen Strippers challenged Key Club boys to a basketball game. Traditionally, this group spon- sors a semi-formal dance near Christmas time. This year Babes in Toyland was the theme with Danny Gofi's orchestra supplying music. Other events included a splash party at Lansing's Y.W.C.A., constructing Easter baskets for needy families, and giving a program of music for the aged at the Eaton County Home for the Aged. Mrs. Krumm and Mrs. Pincoe helped advise the girls this year. Key Club, Y-Teens Combine Fun With Service New members are initiated into the Key Club.

FFA boys achieve these aims by running the club and its projects independently with advice from Mr. Burkholder. Swine C0-op was a new project this year. Feeder pigs were bought and fed with funds raised by selling shares to club members and faculty. After six months the pigs were sold and the shares paid back with a profit. One-hundred chicks were raised, too. These were barbecued and sold to our community in the spring. A school dance and seed sales added funds. The club was able to host a Parent-Son Banquet and go to an M.S.U. football game. Next year, FFA will operate their own land laboratory on grounds behind the new school.

With five games in a row, the pres- sure was never relieved. The band performed various precision drills, dance steps, and music ranging from swinging My Gal Sal to majestic Might and Majesty. No sooner had football season ended when the band performed as a concert organization for the Armistice Day Assembly. Three weeks later a concert of Christmas music was given along with the M.S.U. Bell Ringers in the Tuesday Musical's Christmas Sing. With all pressing commitments eliminated everyone concentrated on music for the Mid-win- ter and Spring Concerts. During this time many band members participated in the solo and en- semble contest, resulting in mulch improvement of the band's quality and musicianship.

Band and Junior Band is a training ground for young musicians where members learn the essentials of good musicianship and fine performance. Throughout the year performances are given, the P.T.A. Concert, Mid-winter and Spring Con- certs, a Christmas program for elementary chil- dren, and marching in the Memorial Day Parade. Junior Band members are promoted to Senior Band when they have learned music funda- mentals. Our high school chorus added twenty new members this year. Mr. Koyl directed the group in noon hour practice sessions and in many performances. During the year he often used personal demonstrations to show members the right way. The added membership enabled the chorus to try out several new techniques, one of which was a number accompanied by a portion of the Senior Band.

Then it was practically an engagement, now it's just an under- stood agreement to go out with each other every week. If I didn't go steady, I'd have no one. I'd probably end up by doing homework on Saturday night! School's interesting this year, but not that interesting! If there wasn't so much homework I might even like it. Our teachers do load it on, but they know what they're doing-I guess. Junior high basketball and football get lots of recruits. No wonder-every boy likes sports-especially playing.

Wayland pro- vided Eaton Rapids with its first win in two years. Eaton Rapids came close to winning several others. St. John's beat our Ntoothless hounds by just two points. Charlotte won by a larger margin, but she was outrun in yard- age 351 to 174. Injury was a handicap our team had to over- comeg in two games our total squad numbered sixteen. In another game they numbered only seventeen. Fewer players meant team mem- bers played for longer periods of time. Eaton Rapids broke four school passing records while depending heavily on passing offense for yard gainage. Improvement over the 1961 season wasn't hard to find. Next year, Coach Koch can ex- pect several more games in our win column. He'll have a bigger squad, several letter win- ners, and a new league.

Eaton Rapids hosted the second annual Grey- hound Invitational with over two hundred boys from the Central Michigan area competing. At the state regionals held at Grand Rapids, Eaton Rapids came in sixth in the twenty-three team meet.

L Class A harriers start their two mile run at the Grey hound Invitational Crosscountry hleet. We finally won a game! The tennis team trains new members. Underclassmen I'm a Sophomore! Somehow, that doesn't seem so great anymore. Every- one certainly has wised up! This is the year they think about college. It strikes them that if they keep failing courses, or even getting C s and D s, they'll never make it to Michigan State University. Couples still go steady, but they find time to do homework. World History, French II, and Geometry require a lot of home- work at that! I think we're more independent this year. We're beginning to realize that not even parents make right decisions all the time. All of us want to form our own opinions, but it's hard. I know we're cau- tious. Because we are cautious we seem slow. We're feeling our way. We think that if we aim ourselves in the right direc- tion we'll end up there. Next year, we will be upperclassmen in a new school.

Proud Juniors display their rings. Juniors discovered exactly what the word busy meant. More demands were made on everyone as class projects increased and studies became more difficult. The juniors chose class rings which finally arrived in December. A class play, The Doctor In Spite Of Himself, was presented in the spring. Highlight of the year was planning and decorating the Junior-Senior Prom held in May. As their final responsibility, the eleventh grade formed the traditional arch on class night and ushered for Baccalaureate and Commencement. Next year comes more responsibilities plus the distinction of being first to graduate from our new high school. 83 Dennis performs valuable services for the football game. With graduation set as a goal, the sopho- mores continued their educational growth. Se- rious study began in each student's interest field. Extracurricular activities increased as stu- dents broadened their outlooks. The class treas- ury increased from money earned at concessions after games. As the year closed, the sophomores aided graduation exercises by decorating for Baccalaureate. 84 Row One: Jackie Byron, Norma Hicks, Marty David- son, Louise DeWaters, Martha Appleby, Janet Harris.

New experiences broadened the outlook of the freshmen. For them, this year was a first for sponsoring concessions at athletic events and at- tending high school activities and dances. For their beginning year of high school, ninth graders were extremely active in sports, clubs, and music. Each high school class is different, and We expect these freshmen to set new records for pep and vitality. 87 Beginners no longer, the eighth grade set the example for younger students. Studies became more a part of their life as they settled down to Junior High routine. Extra-curricular activities such as sports, clubs, and music groups- were an important part of every eighth graders day. Junior High parties provided the necessary training ground for social graces and manners each person must know before entering high school activities.

They learned the easiest way to get through crowded halls, work stubborn locks on lockers, and that one must run to get from third floor to the West Building in five minutes. Social events included Junior High dances and roller skating parties. Students were brought in contact with their fellow classmates whom they would be with the rest of their school days. These youngsters showed much interest in ath- letics and music by active participation in all available activities. 90 Seated: Stanley Letts, Laurence McNamara, Herb Milbourn, Bill Lahre, Rex Tyler, John Janecke, Bill Minnich.

Next year we'll start all over again, some of us as college freshmen, others as apprentices in large corpora- tions. Everything has to be crowded into this last year. Club activities, varsity games, and dances are heavily spiced with Seniors. Even studies become important! Not because Weire afraid we'll fail, but because we honestly realize how much we'll de- pend on our high school learning next year. Trigonometry, Probs., and Physics seem more difiicult than any other sub- ject ever has. I Wonder if time will ever be as im- portant as it is now. We get closer and closer to graduation. We crowd as much in as we can, soon we'll be on our own. Our friends of the last thirteen years Won't be around any longer. We're sad and yet Weire anxious.
