Despite many handicaps and great difficulties in its publication it is our earnest desire to have the annual serve to bring pleasant thoughts or recall happy memories. With the fulfillment of this purpose we will regret neither time nor effort spent to make this the best book possible. There are places where we have sacrificed art in an effort to make each individual or group more outstanding. Joan Rupprecht Editor, Eyrie Staff Table of Contents .. FOREWORD as DEDICATION .

ADVERTISEMENTS c c quce RESETS Through our high school careers we have watched the Eagle become a tradition, The fine record our school has compiled under the Eagle banner has been broad in scope - honors have been taken in the field of sports and academic endeavor. Our record shows that we as students have taken the Eagle and what it stands for to heart. Thus, it becomes the inspiration, the strength -------- Dedication The theme of the yearbook of 1960 is symbolic representative of Frankenmuth High School, the strong, sturdy, striking American Eagle, Thus, in dedicating the Eyrie to the Eagle we dedicate it to all students of the Frankenmuth school system past and present. Board of Education Nineteen sixty marks the last year that the Frankenmuth Public Schools will operate with a five-man board of education, Under a new law becoming effective, a new board will consist of seven members.

Objectives include: a program which will allow the student to develop his potentialities to the fullest, toknowthe culture of our nation and its methods of government. Board members have been in accord with the idea that it is important to develop socially and physically, as well as mentally to produce a worthwhile citizen.

The afternoon agenda was filled with a choice of many activities, including; horseback riding, bicycle riding, carriage trips, swimming, and walking to the many points of interest on the Island. At 5:00 the exhausted seniors and Sponsors left the Island, returning to Frankenmuth at 12:00, thus completing their last fun-filled day as a class, a Commencement After four arduous years 104 students graduated from Frankenmuth High School on the evening of June 8, The beautiful, clear evening marked the second consecutive year the program took place under the stars. The solemn procession filed across the field before a stadium filled with interested relatives and friends. Members of the faculty in the colorful gowns and cowls completed the pro- cession and headed the recessional. Led by Carl Nordstrom the school band played Pomp and Circumstance for the affair. Richard Schluckbier sang the class song You'll Never Walk Alone, accompanied by Richard Neuchterlein at the organ. Commencement speaker was Dr, Robert Lusk. (Explanation of pictures, see page 83). and Baccalaureate Seniors and faculty gathered at the old Lutheran Museum on June 5 to form the processional for the Baccalaureate or spirit- ual ceremony of their graduation exercises. The service included music and a clear-cut talk to the class by the Reverend Carl Mehlberg, pastor of St. Lorenz Lutheran Church, (See page 83 for picture explanation), Valedictorian Address Greetings; Parents, Faculty Members and Friends. It is my pleasure to come before you tonight as a repre- sentative of my class, a fact which I deem an honor. I have chosen to talk about symbols since we live in a world of sym- bols. Uncle Sam, the old gentleman with the goatee and red, white and blue garb is a symbol of these United States--a single musical note reminds us of past pleasure or future anticipation of music. I could go on and talk about symbols and their connotations all evening, however, I have selected one in particular and that is our strong, sturdy, striking American Eagle. As most of you know this same Eagle is the official emblem, the proudly worn emblem, of Frankenmuth High School. This insignia is more than just something to put on football jerseys or to use as a mascot for our athletic teams; it represents the bravery, courage, and strength for which Eagles are known, Rulers of men down through the ages--the RomanCaesars, the German Emperors, and later the Czarist Russia, and Napoleonic France each chose the Eagle as the symbol or emblem of state. In 1787 our own new nation took as its emblem the bald Eagle which remains as its symbol or insignia tothis day. We find it everywhere in all shapes and sizes, gracing our coins, topping our buildings of state and in im- portant military identifications, Americans have always re- spected and honored it because of the high ideals for which it stands. The class of 1960 first came in close contact with the Eagle emblem when we entered Frankenmuth High School as Freshmen, four long or short years ago. Our enrollment mark- ed the first year that F.H.S was a full four year High School ready to complete activities for the first graduation class. Throughout our high school careers we have watchedthe Eagle become a tradition. The fine record our school has compiled under the Eagle banner has been broad in scope - honors have been taken in the field of sports and academic endeavor. Our record shows that we, as students, have taken the Eagle and what it stands for to heart. Thus, it becomes the inspiration, the strength, for other walks of life, which we will encounter now as we leave the Eyrie, the nest of the Eagle. This insignia will help us in the future for just as the eagle soars to lofty heights in the sky so we can set our sights high to achieve our goals in life. When the going gets rough and which it most likely will, we can always look back tothe Frankenmuth Eagle and use its attributes, namely courage, strength, and power to see us through the future, We speak of the future, but how can we know what the world has in store for us within the coming years? The cold war with the Communistic nations, with its ever increasing insidious pushing, leaves us with an insecure feeling co-existence 1s just a word. Also, the mushrooming of knowledge within the last ten years plus the exploration of space proves to us that life will become more complex as the years roll by. To combat and adjust to these rising conditions, we have, but, to follow our motto, In Ourselves Our Future Lies, This well-known slogan was selected by the class of 1960 as our motto in the hope that it would help us to extend ourselves to the fullest to attain our goals. Certainly, such great Americans as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Abraham Lincoln could not have succeeded in building the United States into one of the greatest nations in the world without this fundamental faith in themselves and a greater faith in God. While it is true our future lies within ourselves we know too, we can achieve only with an open mind, our faith in God and the help of those about us. We draw knowledge from our homes, our church, our teachers, our surroundings, and then seek from within ourselves to understand and to plan. We are here tonight with a greater understanding of our future problems because of the interest, the inspiration, the co- operation, the understanding and the help of our teachers, our families and our experience. We have assembled this knowledge in varied degrees by our own ability to fit the material within ourselves. Thus, to our teachers our class now pays a tribute along with a word of praise to the administrators and board of education for making our curriculum the criteria of the Eagle, strong and worthy. - Thank you. And now to you my classmates-- Tonight marks the end of our high school career. Our tasks, activities, and joys are ended, and all that remains to us are the memories and the friendships. The small unpleasantnesses which might have occurred have passed i nto forgetfulness. We are now taking our last good look at Frankenmuth High School, The grind of daily lessons, the tasks imposed, the years of homework are behind us. Throughthe regret of leaving here, never to be together as a body again, there shines a joy of accomplishment, a forward look and an anticipation of the future. Our education together with our energy and per- severance will not allow us to fade into a life of the mediocre. Remembering our motto 'In Ourselves Our Future Lies we thank our parents and friends for the wonderful incentive offered and in the name of our class I bid you all a sincere farewell as the class of 1960 marches forward. Salutatorian Address Parents, Faculty, Classmates, and Honored Guests The close of this year will be a most memorable occasion to us since it is graduation night. We have all been looking forward to this occasion with much anticipation since the day when we first entered high school. We think of this as the end of the road, but it isn't really the end of the road but the beginning of life under altogether different circumstances. Up to the present time, our parents and our teachers have helped us, telling us what to do and what not to do, but now we must strike out for ourselves. We are deeply grateful to our parents, our teachers, our church, and our community for their contribution in helping us achieve our goal. For without their help and guidance we would not be here tonight. We salute you for your never failing encouragements, guidance, and efforts to help us through these past years.

Junior Class History Four exciting years of high school opened for the class of '61 on September 3, 1957. An initiation by the sophomores gave the 130 members of the class their first taste of the grand whirl of school activities. No outside activities were sponsored by the class during their first year. The big project for the sophomore year was a work day held in the spring of the year. The '59-'60 school year was an eventful year for the class who now numbered 110. Class members proved to be ready and willing to work as they labored to raise funds for putting on the Junior-Senior Dinner-Dance, First on the schedule of activities was a work day, followed by a car wash, an Italian spaghetti dinner, and the Krazy Karnival, an annual project of the Junior Class. The juniors closed the year with sponsorship ofan outstanding Prom. The class, led by Lewis Simpson, transformed the gym into a beautiful Oriental Garden, complete with pagodas, Japanese lanterns and a bubbling fountain. . Aldrich . Andrews . Baker .

Loesel, М, Schutt, The Yearbook Staff Speaks: Since the Eyrie was scheduled for fall distribution, much of the work was completed as the end of the school year approached. A yearbook is, for the most part, a book of memories of high school days; thus, material in this book covers spring sports activities, a short record: of the Junior-Senior Prom, the largest social event of the year; and relates a record for students of that epoch-making cross over the threshold of the close local work of getting a diploma into the world of higher education and activities of the world in general. The gra- duating class of 1960 is typical of the thousands of students who have emerged from school all over these United States. May they meet the requirements of the future and bear always in themselves the wonder of our working democracy, seeking to uphold its honor and pre- serve its integrity. With Best Wishes, Joan Rupprecht, Editor At this time special mention is made of the fine photographic work of Tom Leach, senior; Len Felgner, junior; and Peter Henseler, exchange student, senior class. Each has given untiringly of his time, energy and know-how in the dark room, | Special mention is made of the fine work of Joan Rupprecht, junior, whose power of organi- zation of material and hours of typing are evident in the completed project. Lastly, we wish to acknowledge the wonderful financial help of our advertisers, without whose generous assistance the yearbook would not have been possible. We ask our students to bear in mind the members of industry and businesses of Frankenmuth who have supported the Eyrie and to realize, too, that small town industry and business is the backbone of our nation, Advisor - Margret Y, Willis 1 q | l {| 1 i 1 When the going gets rough, we can always look back to the Frankenmuth Eagle and use its attributes, namely courage, strength, and power to see us through the future.
