DONALD 'I'H:momAN Pffbfixfzm' by THE CLASS OF 1947 GRAND BLANC TOWNSHIP UNIT HIGH SCHOQL Grand Blanc, Michigan 47 1 THEN On these pages are reproduced two of the 446 pages in the His- tory of Genesee County, Michigan, published in Philadelphia in 1879. This home, known by our grandparents and greatgrandpar- ents, if they were residents of the community, stood on a knoll-now cut away-just west of Davis Street and faced the Grand Blanc Road, then called Center Street. Majestic pines and flower gardens, old-time hospitality and friend- liness charmed both the local people and the passer-by. t 3 orewom' SINCE THE FOUNDING of Graw Blaw in 1823 many changes have taken place. From an Indian Trail, our main street has developed into a modern up- to-date highway, scarcely wide enough to handle the traffic between Detroit and The Straits. Our town has grown from a settlement of four homes scattered over several square miles, yet neighbors in 1823, to a municipality of 1,012 and a township population of 6,716. The Iirst post oflice wassbuilt in 1826 and the nrst church in July, 1833. By 1835 the population of fifty persons could patronize the drug store, two general stores, a farm implement store, a grist-mill, post office, and school. Our original business district is gradually expanding to the north, and live churches within the city limits call us to services each Sunday. Since the establishment of Grand Blanc School in 1830 it has grown from a small one room building to a Class B School with an enrollment of 1,511. Our name Grand Blanc was originated as in the poem which follows: Captain was the Hrst man Who there a settlement began, 'Tis seventy or sixty years Since he that region did explore. When iirst he settled there 'twas then Near 20 miles from more white men. The name of the place was then 'Graw Blawf For as Frenchman passed the place they saw A big white man who there resided, And that circumstance a name provided. The Frenchman wrote the name 'Grand Blanc,' It was so pronounced by every Yank. 4 YDea'z'cafz'071 TO ARTHUR SHERWQOD We dedi- cate our 1947 ECHO , His under- standing of and patience with our foi- bles, his ever-dependable helping hand, and his fair-mindedness have earned our deep respect, With his jolly smile, friendly joking manner and spirit of co- operation he has won our friendship and loyalty. No matter how taxing his work, no matter how late the hour or how stormy the day, Mr. Sherwood gives us a cheery Good Morning as he stands on the street making it safe for us to cross. As chief of the Maintenance Staff, he carries on his dtities toward making our school a more enjoyable place to come to each day. 5 J An early one-room building.

BOARD of EDUCATION HAROLD ANDERSON KENNETH HARRIS HOWARD CLINE KENNETH MYERS IN TIMES OF STRESS and strain it is doubly necessary that the oH'icial representatives of the people of Grand Blanc Township fulfill their duties With even greater foresight and integrity than normally. The members of our Board of Education have shown themselves to be execu- tives of knowledge and skill Who endeavor to play square with persons, institutions and activi- ties With which they make contact-men of balanced judgment, vision, and courage, conse- ARTHUR TORREY crated to high ideals, Willing to sacriiice, if neces- sary, to attain the goals toward which they strive-for us. I The realization of advancement, as achieved over a period of years, is one result of the work of these industrious and understanding ollicials. Student pep and vitality, increased enroll- ment, and unusual weather conditions have cre- ated various problems for our Board to consider with utmost Wisdom and diplomacy. ANTHONY BRENDEL Superz'f1fe7m'e71f t MR. BRENDEIQS realization of the necessity for maintaining an upward trend has helped all of us as we progressed through our years of schooling. In the changing and widening of activities it can easily he seen that he is constantly thinking of the well-being of the students. His depth of culture, fineness of ideals, and expression of friendship have stimulated stead- fast loyalty in the enrollees of our high school. He always gives us his best today that we may have a worthwhile tomorrow, He has offered us a heritage rich with the fruit of thought, work, and devotion. HOWARD H. PEPPER 791471 czpaz I THQ? OUR PRINCIPAL, Mr, Pepper, will always remain tous one who has been outstanding in his manner of helping and working with us. His faithfulness to his task makes each of us feel that he is watching to see that we are not going astray. He is with us in our pleasures as well as in our studies. The thought of his untiring patience and effort in guiding us onto the right road to the future awakens us and quickensiour own steps toward the goals he has helped us set. 9 W, V Top Row Robert Harvey, Social Studies, Coaching V Frances Lyons, History Dorothy Webster, English Mary Gainor, Science Vertical Hazel Dowd, Social Studies, Coaching Howard Pepper, Principal Marjorie Shoup, Commercial Bottom Row Lewis Wallace, Civics, Music V Marijane Ochs, Homemaking S Howard Loomis, L Commercial, Coaching Mabel Moore, , Jr. High History 10 Top Row Harriet Smocke, English Joseph J ewett, Agriculture Bernice Berdan, English Donald Batchelor, Science, Coaching Vertical Patricia McClear, English John Busch, Music Ethel Pepper, Mathematics Bottom Row Fay Rempel, Mathematics Hugo Lahti, Science Edith Johnston, English 'Leo Flory, Shop 11 ea 1.

The history of English Literature, from way back when the Venerable Bede, Caedmon, and Cynewulf were heroes of the day, has been covered in the classes of Miss Webster. Stories, poetry, essays, etc., written by Amer- icans, with the early heritage of our English ancestors and theme writing were also taught to Juniors by Miss Webster. The Sophomores went bravely on under Miss Smocke, studying grammar, Ivanhoe, The Merchant of Venice, memorizing and giving a declamation in class, As You Like lt, and more grammar. Freshmen had grammar, Treasure Island, grammar, Silas Mar- ner, and more grammar. Business English is an elective course which gives a thorough review of fundamentals, as well as the basic forms for letters and reports. Speech is a second semester elective open to upper classmen. MATHEMATICS-l'Goolgols and GoogolpleXes wore on the minds of the trigonometry and solid geom- etry students, until they began to carry numbers of three digits to enormous powers--result: much wasted time, paper, and energy with invariably incorrect answers. Moral-use logarithms and a slide rule. Basic principles of plane geometry-such as the if and then theory have been a task of the geometry class --if they would do assignments before class, then they would learn something. Elementary Algebra is and always will be a riddle to the unwary who fail to keep up to date on that elusive X and its partners y and UZ . There will be many a problem in unsuspected places, Kids, and it really pays to know. SOCIAL SCIENCES-A liberal education is based on an understanding of modern institutions and the forces that make up society. This knowledge cannot be built up unless we know how our institutions were evolved. The Global War in which we have been engaged during much of our high school years put a new stress on a knowledge of history. Names of far-away places and important people are prominent in the headlines. The classes in Social Studies, World History, Amer- ican History, Civics, and Economics open up a wealth of interests and information to the students. To those taking World History and who revel in the ancient ruins of Greece and Rome terms like ancient, medieval, and modern periods and the Fertile Crescent no longer remain Greek to them. American History classes follow the development of our country and trace the trends to the present decade with the political, industrial, and racial problems within our borders and the international rami- iications. Civics acquaints us with the wheels of govern- ment and indicates our responsibility as citizens-to-be. The science of the conditions and laws which affect the production, distribution, and consumption of wealth in the forms of food, clothing, automobiles, and so on, is taught in Economics. If the lessons learned here are car- ried out, the problems crippling our return to normalcy may be speeded up and maintained. .13 THE LIBRARY-The Library Class serves the student body at the window, handing out the reference material requested and issuing books for outside reading to the inquirer. Each member of the group acts as librarian one period a day. In addition, there is a weekly meeting for discussion of problems and instruction in Library Science. New editions of standard encyclopedias and diction- aries are purchased regularly, fiction, biography, and reference materials are kept as up-to-date as possible, with requests for special information given every con- sideration. Larger quarters will make our service much more efficient when these are available, but this is still a dream. HOME ECONOMICS-Several girls gain added train- ing in Home Economics and give service to the school through work in the cafeteria. Not all the duties are con- cerned with dishes, the bane of most girls' existence. They aid in the preparation and serving of desserts, salads, and sandwiches, they prepare the trays for grade rooms: and they preside over the cash boxes where the trays are checked and milk and potato chips are sold. Classes in sewing and home-planning do just those things. From the simplest beginnings of learning to make straight seams with even stitches, to hem so the stitches will not show, to make, mend and remodel clothing the girls progress until they can well be proud of the objects of their work-a dress or suit exhibited in the style show. The home-planning group makes a detailed study of the kitchen and then of other rooms in the home. Con- venience, beauty, and ease in caring for the room are problems to be worked out, Often a girl takes a portion of her own home as her special interest and plans its improvement. Home Ec. 3 includes the study of the family and how to make the life of each member a vital part of the group. Personal care, personality development and dating are also parts of the course. 14 In these days when we can not yet get all the in- gredients of our recipes in the lavish quantities of the past, it is very helpful for our Home Ec. girls to have the scientific knowledge provided in their course, The enticing odors emanating from Room lO9 assure' the student body that food is about ready to eat-and no chance of getting it. Even the examinations are not so bad because an important part is the preparation and serving of a meal, And only the select few have the opportunity to eat this food. VOCATIONAL-That Shop courses are not all shav- ings and sawdust is attested by the echoes of hammers, power-saws, oxyacetylene and electric welding apparatus and the general clatter and clamor in any well-ordered Industrial Arts setup. There are quiet activities here in the Mechanical Drawing hour. Farm Shop boys keep the room well cluttered with machinery needing repairs or paint jobs before next year's farming operations begin. Mr. Plory, assisted by student shop-foremen, keeps order in the midst of this seeming chaos, AGRICULTURE-One of the objectives of an Agri- cultural School is to serve the agriculture of the District. No small part of the income of many of our families comes from dairy herds, poultry flocks, herds of meat animals, and products of the gardens and fields. This department has regular classes for students and evening classes for adults. ln addition, a number of special meet- ings with outside speakers and demonstrations give the newest information. SCIENCE-There is no room that rivals the Labora- tory when it comes to odors. ln addition to the prepara- tion of hydrogen sulfide fthe familiar rotten egg odorj, and chlorine Cthat piercing, nose and throat irritating aromaj they also make Cha, ha, hal laughing gas Cha, ha, ha, haj. But not all the concoctions are evil-smelling and some are even pleasant, flowt like perfumes. Rumors of work on cosmetics have come to our ears, but no tangible evidence, 15 SCIENCE-Brainbusters for the Physics students are learning the how come and why for of our work- ing world. Mrs. Gainor has also explained that a block and tackle is used somewhere else besides on a football Held. Atomic twins, triplets, and quads came in for their share of discussion by Mr. Lahti, and the study of heat -product, ice cream. Formulas for just about every physics process have proved the value of considerable knowledge of both algebra and geometry. And to top it off radar and electronics get a bit of time and gray matter exercise. GENERAL SCIENCE-General Science is just what the name indicates, but it does much for the interested student by opening up the various fields of science which can be explored further. Biology reveals the nature of the living things of the Universe and the marvels to be seen in a microscope. COMMERCIAL-The Commercial Department under Mr. Loomis and Mrs. Shoup trains students in typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, and business economics. lVIpe od ujr yo, r gpt sz: hppf, rm yp vp yp u jr c tst 7?-- Shucksl I hit the wrong keys AGAIN . Such are the trials and tribulations of the typing students. But some of the hardy souls, take a second semester before going on to the class in Stenography-doodling that really has meaning. By this time the students begin to realize the import- ance of their instruction in meticulous detail for many are able to step into a worthwhile job in an office or to earn their way through college by doing stenographic work. Every student in school should take bookkeeping for the simple reason that he will need this information and a systematic method for keeping his own records. There's an income tax blank ahead! And some pitfalls for the unwary can be avoided if the facts of Business Economics are heeded in later years. Latin I and II and Spanish I have enrolled about ninety students who plan to have a language minor for college entrance. The former clears up many a difliculty in English grammar and vocabulary work, and acquaints the persevering with the stories of the Argonauts and Caesar's 'Gallic War. Spanish I will be followed by Spanish Il, with the aim of acquiring a fluency in Si, senor, adios and other common expressions along with songs, interesting customs, and historical facts about Spain and Mexico, 16 vi if , ,f ,f x vb Www, W ,f -1 N , , ,.,,. Q, fm I L. .f ' lg jlfomemiv . .. Once upon a time throughout the country, the Class of '47 was coming into existence. Now there are seventy-live students graduating this June: of these only twenty began in the first grade at Grand Blanc. ln the third grade Bill Wadsworth came to school without his shoes one day and in the fourth grade John Partenio, Pete Schabel, and Bill Wads- worth got their mouths washed out with some nice, clean soap! lsn't that Bill a rascal? But we had a lot of fun also, with all kinds of parties, hikes, and classroom pranks. With quite a struggle and a few apples for the teacher, we gracefully emerged into Jr. High! Gee, look kids-we're in with all the big shots now! This was our first taste of High School life and boy, did we love it. Before we knew it, we were there at last-in Senior High! And the first thing those mean Sophomores did was to initiate us darling, inno- cent, little Freshmen! We A'Ladies and Gents had to suffer through long underwear, full skirts, sloppy boots and lipstick all over our faces! Our class officers were as follows: Tom McLean, presi- dent: Dolores Siminiski, vice-presidentg and Jack Murchie as both secretary and treasurer. While growing older and having gained a little more knowledge, we became Sophomores. And the first thing we did was to get revenge upon the new and helpless Freshmen, That's the custom, and oh brother, what fun! Jack Murchie plunged into the presidents position: John Partenio took over the vice-president's dutiesg Carl LePage carried the pen- cil as secretary: and Maribeth Myers held the bag as treasurer. The next to the last-our precious Junior year! It came in with a BANG-and continued that way most of the year. Our prom, the Rose Garden Hop, in February was very successful. Then our Junior play, Galloping Ghosts, was a money raiser as well as a hair raiser. The Junior-Senior party we gave for our superiors was one of the big events of the year. The class officers were president, Robert Roy Cfirst semesterl, William Wadsworth Csecond semesterjg vice-president, William Wads- worth ffirst semesterl, Jack Murchie Csecond se- mesterj : secretary, Nan Burren: treasurer, Leo McGrath. And now at last-the big shots! We came back in September with swelled heads and bulging pock- ets, which incidentally, soon deflated after we had paid all the expenses of being Seniors . . . With Bill Wadsworth back in the presidents chair and John Partenio, vice-president: Nan Burren, secre- taryg and Leo McGrath, treasurer: we plunged into our activities with gobs of vigor and vitality. r In the Hrst half of our great year we kept up the Qld tradition of selling nourishment at the football games to all Grand Blanc's ardent fans! Also, pro- grams at all the games, T-shirts, pencils, and pins helped us to raise money that was badly needed! During the year we also enjoyed scads of Friday night dances, among which were the Highlight Club dance, Christmas Victory Ball, Valen- tine Partyf' and Waistline Dance, with everyone paying a penny an inch. Boy, did the Plumpies suffer. Miss Berdan directed our Senior play, 'fThe Bright Penny, presented December 13, 1946. lt was a comedy in three acts and really kept the crowds rolling in the aisles! Then our ECHO work started, one of the big jobs of the year-Carolyn Denorish was made the big chief, and her assistants, so it says here, were Betty Tomblinson and Leo McGrath fsee what we meanj ! Don Thoroman was made Business Man- ager: Maxine Rayner was also up among the big- shots with subscription management and selling her special job: Nan Burren headed the committee for the sale of advertising. After much persuasion and our faithful promise to be good, we said farewell to the less fortunate, and left on a wonderful boat trip May 1 l, for three super days. We felt we were definitely important, being the first class in nine years to have this privi- lege. We came back home with memories galore to write in our diaries and 'fmulti to remember for a long time. And now as our year drew to a close, Bacca- laureate struck us suddenly with the sudden realiza- tion that our Senior year was almost over. On Class Night we all gained ten pounds over the scrump- tious dinner our Mommies fixed us and then we had oodles of laughs over the jokes and gifts we got. Then the following night our Senior year was brought to a close by Commencement, l l TO OUR SPONSOR In parting, We, the class of '47, Wish to express our gratitude to Miss Berdan for her untiring efforts in helping us with our ECHO and other senior activi- ties. Under her guidance We have brought our most difficult and yet most enjoyable year to a close. In our estimation, no one will ever equal Miss Berdan in leadership and understanding. We take this opportun- ity to give her our thanks and appreciation for all she has done. 19 Sembr Offers WILLIAM S. WADSWORTH Riley God save the King.

FOOTBALL THE BOBCATS, under Coach Don Batche- lor, started out their season by playing a most successful game with Holly, which they won 20 to 0. Fourteen lettermen made a fine nucleus around which to build a strong squad -Wadsworth, Partenio, Crickmore and Murchie in the backfield, Swartz, Marx, ends, Corlew, Teer, tackles, Sifferman, Du- prey, Miller, Emery, and Polzin, guards: and Brochu at center. The Clio game, won 10 to 7, was rather uneventful-just getting a start against oppo- sition, The worst mauling of the season was given us by Fenton 26 to 0. We won by the narrow margin of one point from Flushing 7 to 6. Next we got revenge on Davison for our crushing defeat by Fenton with the long end of the 28 to 0 score, We also sent Beecher home with no score, ours being 20. But the most appreciated victory was the Thanksgiv- ing Day defeat of Bendle, on their own field. 41 to 7. This was especially sweet because we had done the same thing last year. The County Championship Team can see their picture in a beautiful trophy frame every day as an aid to remembering the hard-earned glory. Jack Murchie, who scored 54 points, was selected for the All-County team the second straight year: Clarence Duprey, our fine tackle, was also selected for this team, Jack Swartz, our only casualty-laid up with a bad ankle, made the second team. Bill Wads- worth received honorable mention. Letter winners were Dave Brochu, Bud Corlew, Cletus Crickmore, Jim Conquest, El- ton Carnes, Clarence Duprey, Don Emery, Bob Finelly, Bob Harper, Dick Harwick, Bud Marx, Jack Murchie, Don Miller, John Par- tenio, Dwaine Polzin, Joel Rosedahl, J.

Coach Howdy Loomis with Mr. Harvey as a new assistant started the new year with twenty-nine Freshmen and Sophomores. Did you ever stop to think how important the Reserve team actually is? Here the boys learn the fundamentals of football, ideas of teamwork on both offense and defense, here they get their training for the Varsity team. As the Varsity players graduate or leave school for other reasons the Reserve fellows have a chance to shine, The boys had good luck this year, winning seven games, losing two, and tying one. Three of these important games were played under the lights. September 23 September 30 October 7 October 14 October 21 Jctober 28 November 4 November l l November l7 November 26 Gb.

Phil Satkowiak was given much praise for pitching 17 innings against Beecher while al- lowing but one hit: however, we lost the game l-0. With all but two regulars coming back next year, we hope they can put more games in the winning column, instead of los- ing them by l or 2 runs. George Jaksa finished his fourth year of baseball at Grand Blanc-a sport in which he was a standout every season.

CROSS COUNTRY WITH A FEW LADS interested in continu- ing the two-mile race called Cross Country, Coach Loomis laid out the path fit was scarcely more than thisb and clocked his speedsters. The edge was taken off this com- petitive sport by the greater interest in our fine football team. Returning lettermen were John Sifferman, John Partenio, and Eugene Brothers, with Eugene as captain of the team. Eive meets were scheduled for this year but both Central and Northern cancelled theirs with Grand Blanc. We lost three dual meets and placed eleventh in the State Meet at Ypsilanti. The following boys received letters: Jack Swartz, John Partenio, Eugene Brothers, J. W. Sifferman, Dick l-larwick, Ron Weir, and Jim King.

THE BOYS of the basketball squad and Coach Loomis can well be proud of the record they made-winning the District Tourna- ment and playing Birmingham in the Re- gional. They had some tough luck with Fen- ton and Flushing, causing them to lose the games by two points, and the county cham- pionship. Highlights of the season included smashing victories over Bendle and Kearsley by 52-16 and 53-15: our third victory in four years over Davison, and of course the Hrst District Championship in thirteen years. The Bobcats averaged 41 points a game dur- ing the regular season, holding their oppo- nents to a 23-point average, both records being the best in the school's history. The season record of 14 won and 4 lost was the best since 1934. There were six boys who returned to the squad from last year, John Partenio, Bill Wadsworth, Jack Swartz, Dave Brochu, Cle- tus Crickmore, and Carl LePage, LePage was lost by mid-term graduation, and Dick Har- wick moved up to fill his place in admirable fashion. Other members of the squad included Williams and Schabel from last year's reserves and Finelly and Rupp, newcomers. One of our boys, John Partenio, broke the school record for scoring with 221 points in 14 games, an average of 16 points a game. His free throw average for the season was out- standing, with 76 scored out of 112 for 6812. Letter winners were John Partenio, Carl Le- Page, Bill Wadsworth, Cletus Crickmore, Jack Swartz, Dave Brochu, Dick Harwick, Ken Williams, Bob Finelly, Pete Schabel, and Don Rupp. o,B. opp. Dec. 10-Here Hoover 37 35 Dec, 17-There Linden 44 10 Jan. 7-There Williamston 30 18 Jan, 10-There Penton 26 28 Jan. 26-Here Utley 26 15 Jan. 17-Here Flushing 32 34 Jan. 24-There Clio 63 28 Jan. 28-Ther-e Flint Tech 30 34 Jan. 31-Here Bendle 52 16 Feb. 7--Here Davison 33 30 Feb. 1 1-Here Goodrich 43 21 Feb. 14-There Beecher 46 22 Feb. 18-Here Kearsley 53 15 Feb. 21-Here Swartz Creek 51 19 Feb, 28-Thgre Mt, Morris I 614 352 District Tournament Mar, 7-There Lapeer 40 21 Mar, 8-Lapeer Caro 29 28 Regional Tournament Mar. 13-Ferndale Birmingham 18 27 RESERVE BASKETBALL THE GRAND BLANC Reserves started their season off with a new coach, who helped them to their first three victories.

However they took the practice gradually, got over their soreness and walked away with sec- ond place honors at the Genesee County Track meet at Flint Central, May 31. The re- turning lettermen were Marian Perry, Grace Stewart, Janice Kipp, Pearl Jensen, and Pat Wood. Marian Perry, Grace Stewart, Yvonne Mooney, Janice Kipp, Pearl Jensen, Betty Russell, and Pat Wood won letters.

It was pretty cold practicing, rainy and windy, too, so the girls didn't fare too well. However, we're sure Miss Dowd will have some hard working girls back to try to get some victories, next spring.

However, because they were upset by Davison and tied Kearsley, they had to settle for second place. All the games were real thrillers and their opponents fought hard but could not quite overcome our winning gals, All of Coach Dowd's team will be back next year except Roberta Perry and Maribeth Myers, The letter winners were Marian Perry, Janice Kipp, Lucetria Rose, Joanne Chalker, Phyllis Blakeslee, Phyllis Crickmore, Mari- beth Myers, Roberta Perry, Yvonne Mooney, Pearl Jensen, Carolyn Page, and Carmaletta Murphy.

Loomis THE STUDENT COUNCIL sponsored the penny collection again this year, the money being taken up once a Week and turned in to the Red Cross. The Beecher game was set aside for our Homecoming game, This being our first Homecoming in a number of years, the Stu- dent Council Went out in a big Way to make it a success. Election of a queen and her court was held, each homeroom selecting a candi- date and the study body voting for their favorite who should reign as queen. Joanne Chalker was elected queen and Carolyn De- norish, Violet Twiss, Jean Warner, Beverly DuPraW, Jacqueline Kalbfleisch, Joann Ol- cott, and Dolores Sanders were members of her court. These attra.ctive girls rode on a decorative float which all the Student Council members helped to decorate. One of the largest crowds of the year turned out for Homecoming and saw our boys play a marvelous game, Work is continuing on the public address system with negotiations under Way for a larger and more complete unit. JR. STATE POLICE President ,, , 'Treasurer Captain.- Lieutenants er,, .- Sergeants, -. Advisor ,,ss.s THE GRAND BLANC School Building is situated on one of the busiest highways in the United States, and also is dangerously close to the heavy lines of trallic. For this reason and because some of our pupils must cross this highway on their way to and from school it has been thought wise to have an active or- ganization to check on this aspect of our school-life. The boys have badges and white canvas Sam Brown belts to identify them and rain hats and capes for stormy weather. They have a short school of instruction and are occasionally inspected by a State Police officer.

These Jr. Policemen have been really active. They had theater parties at the Centre The- ater in Grand Blanc and the Garden Theater in Flint, This winter they had extra-super ice, so they couldn't pass up having a skating party, too. Of course, no organization can ever go by Valentine's Day without having a party, and these boys were no exception, as they had a wonderful time. When the weather and the backyard gravel settled, these fellows had a bang-up marble tournament. FOURTH ROW: R. Benson, J. Denorish, C. Richardson, T, Leavy, B. Lendenschmiclt. E. Couch, H. Dunkel.

M iss Johnston, Miss Webster THE Y-TEENS Cformerly known as the Girl Reservesj began this year's activities with a combined business and social meeting in the recreation room of President Pat Gundry's home, The first topic of discussion concerned the activities of the group with the resulting decision that they take up some which were put aside for the duration. In this way, it was hoped to create and maintain a greater degree of interest in the individual members. Because of the already large membership, acceptance of new members was postponed until late in the year. Unhappily, the impressive recognition ceremony and the dignified initiation would, of necessity, be omitted. A good old Halloween party was held in Yvonne Mooney's barn in October. Many of the superstitions and customs were observed with all the screams and thrills. Pearl's ghost wasn't very scary but it surely was noisy. Re- freshments of doughnuts, apples and cider were served. The Y-Teens decided to collect old toys to HX for the needy children at Christmas time. Boxes were placed around the halls and a very good collection of badly broken toys was received, But the girls didn't mind because they had it all planned for the Hi-Y boys. They were very nice girls and invited the Hi-Y boys for a party held in the shopg but the trick of it was, they couldn't Cat until they had helped mend and paint the toys. I guess the boys didn't mind, either. The big event of the year, the Valentine party at which the Grand Blanc girls were hostesses to Hi-Y boys of Davison, Flint Tech, Kearsley, Fenton, Holly and our own G.B. Hi-Y. This has become a somewhat tra- ditional event in the County and is a pleas- urable anticipation as well as a pleasant memory. VVilma Schollard and Donna Hilliker at- tended a week-end Y-Teen conference at Owosso, on February 14. They reported an interesting and enjoyable time, with ideas ga- lore for club service to others. One result of this conference was the pledging of S50 for the purchase of food and clothing for needy children overseas. As an added help in this project they collected clothing, towels, and other common necessities for shipment over- seas. These girls were certainly busy, just as they had planned.

There must be a greater interest in homemak- ing, for a large number of girls were at the tea, The girls were then initiated into the club at a dignified initiation ceremony held in the gym. Refreshments were served after the rites. The F. H. A. girls picked a parliamentary procedure team and began conducting their meetings according to parliamentary rules. Three girls studied the rules and demon- strated the method for the benefit of the other irls. g In October came the annual F. H. A,-F. F. A. pheasant feast. This is the dinner for which the E. P. A. boys kill the game and the P, H, A. girls prepare it. There must have been an alarming shortage of pheasants this year Cso it was reported by the boysj because more chicken Was fried than pheasant, The Whole high school was disturbed by a copious flow of saliva in each mouth when the odors of frying pheasants permeated the halls and classrooms, And how envious the Houtsidersn were of the delectable food! In December a business meeting was held at which the activities for the rest of the year were planned. In January the big event was the toboggan party at Peabody Hill and to which the girls invited F. F. A. boys. Everyone had a superb time considering that only one toboggan came back whole and some of the members arrived as others were leaving. In February the P. H. A, girls of other schools in the county were invited by the Grand Blanc girls for a Valentines party held in the cafeteria. They played games, and re- freshments of ice cream and cake were served. In March the annual P. H. A.-F. F. A. banquet was held in the cafeteria With the parents of the boys and girls as guests. For the April meeting, Mrs. Hay, from the county extension office, gave a very interesting speech. The last meeting was held at Copneconic Lake in the form of a picnic with food and laughter enough for all, IIITII ROW H Kunze D Peterman, R, Weir, T. McLean, D, Polzin, J. Partenio, K.

Members brought their own negatives and did their own printing. Jim Cech helped the club with a number of problems and explained the use of many of the chemicals used in printing pictures. He also took portrait pictures of all the Club members. The purchase of a speed-graphic camera to be used in taking pictures of our various activities is the next project to be completed. April was the month chosen for their party in the cafeteria. Dancing, ping pong, and eats assured a wonderful time for all attending, The Club also took orders for the J-Hop pic' tures taken by Mr. Allen and Mr. Turner. 54 THE VARSITY CLUB THE VARSITY CLUB is composed of all students Who are awarded letters in any ath- letic activity, which includes Football, Boys' and Girls' Basketball, Boys' and Girls' Track, Cross Country, Cheerleading, Baseball, and Softball. Because most of the Varsity Club members were active in the many other branches of school extra-curricular life, it was difficult for this organization to find a time to meet regu- larly. Consequently the club was inactive for a greater part of the year. It is hoped that this difficulty can be overcome next year, and the club may again take up its position as a vital part of the school activities. FOURTH ROW: J, Sifferman, J, Conquest, J. Swartz, P.

M r, Lahti THE SCIENCE CLUB was organized a year ago for the students who Want to do addi- tional study in chemistry, The purpose of this club is to develop the scientiiic talent of its members and to create a greater interest in sci- ence within the community. To make the meetings more interesting, demonstrations were given at each meeting by one or two of the members. Each had a turn at giving a demonstration on what he was most inter- ested in. These were on such topics as the boil- ing of ether, air suction, electricity, photo- electric cells, and gas. At the I, M. A, Audi- torium in October the members attended a demonstration given on science in general and brought back good reports. Samples have been received every month over a period of nine months on Things of Science : samples of different gums, Woods, and sugars. An inter esting trip was taken through the Buick Motor Division: the final assembly line Coth- erwise known as the Wolf linej seemed most enthralling. Another trip Was planned through the Dow Chemical Plant at Midland but because of unpredictable weather was can- celed, The formal name for this club is Sci- ence Club of Grand Blanc but for a pet name the very dignilied Atom Krackersn was chosen, Three other trips were planned which included a Held trip, a trip through the Flint Journal, and a trip through the Aluminum Factory of Flint. Near the end of the year each member of the Atom Kracker Science Club prepared and gave a demonstration on a special interest. HI-Y President .v.. .. Vice-president . ., Secretary. -.

Because of the lack of efficient leaders, the troop dwindled to a small group and finally was discontinued altogether. The troop committee, after locating some prospective leaders, arranged for a course in Scout leadership to be offered to all men who were interested in being scoutmasters, As a result of this effort, Work in reorganization is going ahead. Mr. Milton Ward and Mr. K. B. Davis have taken the troop at the Congre- gational Church, and Mr. R. H. Benedict, Mr. F. I. Gilson, Jr, and Mr. Beach are getting started at the Methodist Church. The Explorer Post for Scouts of fifteen years or more is beginning to beam again. The Post has many dreams of adventurous canoe trips on Northern rivers, and also of camps in the Wilds of the Woods.'Every Scout has a position to fill in the post, The Explorers planned and pushed through to a successful annual Troop Court of Honor held in May. These wideawake older teen-age boys are earnestly looking for a Scoutmaster to aid them and on whose judgment and loyalty they may depend. By the time this book is published, he may have been discovered. Joel Rosedahl, David Brochu, Ronald Weir, George Stout, Richard Thrall FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA CF. F.

PROGRAM is divided into several sections, which are co-operative, schol- arship, leadership, community service, conduct of meeting, earnings and savings, recreation, general and supplementary practices. Co-operatives-Our young farmers planted and harvested six kinds of hybrid corn, which they entered in a district crop show, placed third among nineteen schools, and earned SB165.00. With their profit they purchased a registered Duroc boar and generously gave five registered pigs to the Freshmen, Naturally, after this back-breaking work, they deserved a little recreation and decided on an F. F. A. and F. H. A. Pheasant Feed. Snapshots of all their projects are kept neatly in a scrapbook. Leadership-The initiation for the Green Hands and Chapter Farmers was great fun for the F. F. A. They also sponsored a family banquet, at which the parents finally got a break. The 4-H leaders entered several con- tests, one of which was the Best Chapter Contest and were rated 6th of 200 Chapters, others were the State Parliamentary, Demon- stration, and Speaking Contest. Tom Mc- Lean was the representative in Public Speak- ing, winning both the District and the Re- gional Contests but failing to place in the State Contest, David Forbush, Larry Gilles- pie, Alfred Richards, and Tom McLean were awarded State Farmer Degrees at Michigan State College. Community Service-Our ambitious and con- servative young farmers conducted a Pest Eradication Contest, tested live dairy herds for mastitis, dipped 500 sheep and lambs, culled six flocks of poultry, and last but not least purchased trees to be planted on surrounding waste land. They also conducted a fox hunt and were successful in bagging one. Recreation-This is one line of work they really like. Our future farmers went to North- port for five days and you can imagine the good time they had. They enjoyed their bas- ketball and softball teams and also managed to purchase sweaters, cameras and cattle clippers. Approximately 357,000 were earned by car- rying through three projects. This is quite a sum of cash. I think you will agree with me in saying that this organization is really worth- while. FOURTH ROXV1 E. Carnes, P. Rhoades. G. Alward. J. Taylor, R. Pillen, XV. Shanks.

After Tea for Two comes 'iGolden Slumbersn now June Is Bustin' Out All Over . The music room certainly has been crowded every Monday and Friday ninth hour, for over sixty girls joined the Glee Club this year. Mr. Wallace withstood the teasing about his harem of siXty Women, until he left in Feb- ruary. Mr. Busch rules the harem now. It still remains to be seen, or heard, as to what attracted so many girls. Whether they really Wanted to sing or get out of home room, or maybe it was because of the director, or the new music, Sweet and Lovely, As Time Goes By, 'Golden Slumbersf' and Tutu Maramban. Mr. Wallace Worked very hard with the girls trying to get them to sound just so. When he left in February Mr. Busch took over. The battles he had over the time and trying to make them sing the words as if they meant something! Gradually the girls got into the mood for singing. The Monday and Fri- day rehearsals were aided and abetted by sec- tional rehearsals before school, Mr, Busch entered the Glee Club in the District Contest at Flint Central, April 12. In this contest they sang The Prayer from Han- sel and Gretel and Golden Slurnbersn. A CAPPELLA CHOIR WITH MR. WALLACE back to direct vocal music and many former choir members on hand, only a few places were available for those who wanted to join their voices. in stately music. Mr. Wallace began working immediately on the State Festival music, Break Forth, O Beautious Heavenly Light, 'ABattle of Jericho, The One Hundred Fif- tieth Psalm, Adoramus Te, and HCanticle of Peace . All these were memorized and sung without accompaniment. Practice hours were Tuesdays and Thursdays the ninth hour, and Wednesday before school, At Christmas time the choir sang at an as- sembly and for P. T. A., using two of the Festival numbers and Silent Night, Rose- mary Green as obligato soloist. The piece liked best by the audiences was 'KClose As Pages in a Book from the Broadway musical Up in Central Park . Mr. Busch took up the baton when Mr. Wallace left the first of February, though he says he is an instrumentalist, not a vocalist. Everyone made theslight but necessary ad- justments so the work goes merrily on. The climax of the year's work was par- ticipation in the District Concert held April IZ, at Flint Central, the choir singing Ador- amus Te and Cherubim Song . On April I2 the A Cappella Choir entered the District Choir Contest at Flint, receiving a first place rating. The State Contest was at East Lansing, May lO, just too late for the results to be reported here. FIFTH ROXV: I. Townsend, F. Hallmark, G. Stout, XV. Latreille, Mr. XV.xllace, Mr. Busch. M. Dove. R.

F erris Hallmark UNDER THE BATON of Mr. John Busch, the band is making noteworthy progress in musicianship. Thorough drill in the tech- niques of playing each instrument has been given the various choirs of the band and to individuals in special lessons. During the football season the band thrilled the spectators with their peppy play- ing, fiashy drills, and formations, The band also played at pep meetings and home basket- ball games. Two trips to Ann Arbor took band members to a University of Michigan football game on November I6 and to the Mid-Western Music Conference on January II to hear the Mid-Winter Concert of the U. of M, Band in Hill Auditorium. On March 13, solo and ensemble groups went to Fenton to play for an adjudicator sent by the University Music Department. Each person and group was rated on tone, time, and interpretation and given a rating from 1 to 5. The trumpet trio, brass sextette, clarinet quartette, and June Benedict, for her French horn solo were awarded l's: Marilyn Northrup and Jeanne Kolbe, flutists, Geor- gianna King, Ina Miller, Jeanne Lyons, Ann Cummings, clarinetists, and Leslie Kolbe, trombone player, received 2's: Ramona Lackie and Marjorie Tomblinson, clarinetists, 3's3 all this among the twenty-live attending from here and the hundred or more from other schools. Band members participated in the State Music Festival at Ann Arbor on April I7 and 18, The Music Department has sponsored a Donkey Basketball game and the Magazine Sales Campaign as means of earning money toward the new uniforms so eagerly awaited. A uniform-benefit program was given in con- nection with the Centre Theatre in early May and a spring concert in the gymnasium closed this part of their activities. As a purely enjoy- able event for the community the duo-piano concert by Joyce Sette, '45, and Arthur Kat- terjohn, '47, was presented on February 27. Both Mr. Wallace and Mr. Busch contributed to the program. ,wwf A. Johnson, J. Kolbe, M. Northrup, Flutes. D. Mancour, L. Kolbe, K. Shimmons, R. Soderquist, Trombones G. Henry, J. Miekka, M.

Although Geraldine did not appear in the cast, this apparition had everyone sitting on the edge of his chair, Miss Barton, who had raised her orphaned nieces and nephews, was beginning to worry about her financial standing, lest Pat's and Phil's college education would be slighted. She and Aunt Melinda remembered grand- father Barton had hidden gold somewhere in the house but they did not know where. She Hnally consented to let Dick bring a clairvoyant, really a tough waitress, with him to hold a seance, with hopes of finding the gold. Dick hid a generous amount of gold for the clair- voyant to find but this was removed by Pat, Phil, and Steve because of a conversation they overheard. A seance is conducted but no gold is found. Albert gets away with the bag but Steve catches him, only to End rocks instead of gold. Everyone was a little down- hearted except Marie who kept things going with her idle chatter, even when the gold goes out in the clutches of Albert. However, everything ends happily-with Madame Dupre' and Albert making their get-away without gold and the real fortune being found when scatterbrained Marie picks up a bag dislodged during the rumpus, SECOND ROW: D, Yager, J.

Q K, OUR ENGINEER and janitorial staff has a variety of jobs: to keep the boilers perking, keep the sidewalks clear of snow, sweep and mop our rooms and halls, clean up spilled ink, saw open stubborn locks, repair furniture and plumbing, replace window panes, and any number of other odd-jobs becoming neces- sary throughout the year. Upon these men and women falls the re- sponsibility of bringing our students to the building and returning them to their homes. With as many as sixty rollicking children in a bus, the task becomes more diliicult even though each child has his seat. The Seventeen buses cover thirty-seven square miles each day in twenty-nine trips from and to the school- house. We wish to add a word of appreciation to both these groups for their earnest efforts to- ward our education. F.. FIFTH ROW: W. Wadsworth, R. Benedict, J. Swartz. G, Stout, R. Rhoades. A.

THE ECHO STAFF OH, MY aching back, gee, this chair is getting hard, got anything else to be typed? Oh, not that. These are only a few of the many expressions you heard float- ing around at ECI-IO staff meetings. Everything started out very peacefully, of course, as We all were thrilled when We were given our individual assignments. But, when it came to doing the Write-ups it was a dif- ferent story. It's fun, but a lot of work- good hard work-and you get so tired of sit- ting and thinking, you run out of ideas, be- fore you know it you are so tired you are silly, and you think your brain will never function properly again. At long last our yearbook was finished and off to the presses by the first part of April. Due to the fact that our order for covers was placed in May the usual cover trouble was eliminated. Everything has gone off with- out a hitch, thanks to Miss Berdan's patient and apt guidance, This ECI-IO is sure to be the best yet and will be forever cherished by the Class of '47, We wish for succeeding classes the joy and satisfaction gained from putting out their re- spective editions of THE ECHO, Whose first edition came off the press in 1923, a paper-covered book. Issues following through the years have grown in size with the school, and should continue to grow and improve. 81 , Chess . , . Ben and Betty--any old month . . . Just looking on . . .
