These -facts, their causes and results give,.us the keys which will unlock the doors of, wider knowledge for ourselves and our fellow-men. s X X We realize that we are living in a new and East-movingtage which is beset with troubles of many kinds. But through'-all the 'panorama one fact -still holds truef-many of the Adiliiculties are but locks which can be opened by the proper keys. .The key of KINDNESS' and COURTESY opens the lockof personal and international friendshipg the key of KNOWLEDGE broadens our understanding of the modern world in which we live and leadsyus to the door unlocked by the key of SUCCESS. Other keys of PERSON- ALITY, HAPPINESS, COOPERATION, etc., have given us increased abilities and interests and improved attitudes. l lc L. f -,tg ,Q p . . I s .- s f .I ,lg u, I , . f 4. M.. 'fi . Z ' 32742:-A -We - , M, ' ugailgh e , OGOICAIIOH Always there are persons and places which seem to stand out in the memory of our school days. To us, one of these persons is Mr. Stanley Bussard in whose classroom we have sat and under whose coaching the boys have learned, not only to run and shoot but also to play the game fairly and for the sake of the game. Mr. Bussard, by his varying and unusual presentations ol the lessons in World History and United States History, has made these courses more interesting, more truly the living, historical materials which have served so great a role in the building of the world and the nation we live in. That he is a successful coach is proved by the accomplishments of his teams-basketball, cross country, and Held events in track. Not only do we honor and re- spect him, but the Board of Education has honored him by ap- pointing him Assistant Superintendent, the new position becom- ing effective the second semester. As a man, Mr. Bussard inspires us all with his quiet, consis- tent, courteous pursuit of his work and pleasures. He sets a high standard for himself and gets the same type of conduct from his students. Thus, to Mr. Stanley Bussard, who has given us help in using several KEYS to success and happiness, we dedicate this 1952 ECHO. 5 5 Q The central section of this building was erected in 1922, the north and south wings in 1935 and, 1939. Cafeteria, shop, music and classrooms have been added at the rear. And now the new gym is materializing. W. si , -:s ietf 'Wr'fff r ,,-, sfmf1ay.f: :sg -,fl-Wg ,, , K kkk.

STERLING LUND Treasurer PAUL McGRATH Boano of The Board of Education has jurisdiction for carrying out the state requirements for education and developing a program to meet the needs of all children and youth of school age within their district. Every citizen is a paying customer through direct and indirect taxationg every par- ent is a partner in the local school system. Each individual board member represents the biggest and most important business in the community. The powers of the Board include the setting up of the educational program-the subjects to be taught- and the standards which shall be maintained. In general, the Board determines the policies for operation and makes all decisions of a legal nature. These programs and policies are carried out by their executive officer, the superintena dent. In turn, the superintendent can recommend changes in the personnel, the program, and the policies to the Board for their consideration and adoption or rejection. The five men whose pictures appear on this page Pfesideflf Sggrglgry EZRA WV. PERRY eoucatlon constitute the Board of Education for the present school year. Regular meetings occur twice monthly, with special meetings being called whenever required. During the months when special business is crowding them-the building program, for example-they spend many extra hours visiting new buildings in other districts, conferring with architects, lawyers, and contractors, and checking on the progress of the construction. The present new addition was planned in 1946 with the hope that some method of financing would be provided in the near future. This was made possible when the Michigan people voted to liberalize the school bonding laws. In October, 1950, a 20-year bond issue providing 35345000.00 was voted by an overwhelming majority. Con- struction, started in March, 1951, is progressing nicely. The gymnasium will be used for commencement in june even though it will not be entirely completedg the entire addition will be ready before the opening of school in ASSISTANT SUDGRIHIZGUOGHII STANLEY A. BUSSARD B.A., Alma College M.A., University of Michigan September, 1952. Besides the gymnasium the project pro- vides three science classrooms, a photography laboratory and three elementary classrooms. The gymnasium is 110 feet square and has a play area ll0 by 58 feet. This will provide a regulation basketball court with plenty of room to spare for bleachers on the ends and sides, if necessary. The bleacher area on the east side is 96 feet long by 25 feet wide. This will be equipped with eleven-tier folding bleachers. The stage will also be equipped with sixty-four feet of eleven-tier folding bleach- ers. The total seating capacity will be between 1850 and 2000. A new modern type score board has been donated by the Class of 1946 and will be installed on the south wall. Four shower and locker rooms are included to pro- vide ample space for athletic teams. Dressing rooms for plays and operettas can be provided by portable screens or in nearby rooms. The spacious stage will be equipped with a velour curtain to be protected by a canvas curtain. The cyclo- UDGRIDTSGHOGHII ANTHONY J. BRENDEL B.S. Michigan Sfale College M.A., University of Michigan 1 rama will be of rep cloth. The stage lighting will be con- trolled by a portable control system which can be stored, when not in use, in a small room on the south end of the stage. The piano, the public address equipment, and the movie equipment will also be stored in this room, thus preventing tampering with this valuable equipment. This type of construction provides a very flexible gymnasium-auditorium. The stage is large enough to accommodate both our senior and junior bands at the same time. It will also take care of the voice groups of the high school and junior high school. The bleacher platform can be used for many other purposes when the bleachers are folded. Our science department will be furnished with the most modern chemistry and physics equipment and will make a greatly expanded science program possible. The additional elementary rooms will ease the crowded condi- tions in the upper elementary department. 9 HOWARD H. PEPPER 8.5. Central Mich.

W ...A VW, iii . . - mtsamv- ,gi Thirteen years have elapsed since a few of us first opened the door of the schoolhouse, with a birth certificate in one hand, to turn the key which opened the door of our school life. During this and the six following years, we found many additional keys, all of which may be called OPPORTUNITY because they gave us free en- trance to the varied experiences awaiting us in geography, language, mathematics, history, read- ing and several other Helds. The junior high school keys opened the door to the long view of high school activities. We could only stand and watch, in the open door, as the older students carried on their extracur- ricular privileges. Only classrooms and the be- ginners' band were open to us. But those years passed all too rapidlyg soon we were full-fledged ninth graders. How we dreaded the turning of the key INI- TIATIONl and the nightmare we expected to encounter within that door. Spectacular clothing and fixings further alarmed us. But we survived this ordeal and were then free to participate in the athletic and club programs. As further evidence of our use of the high ,school KEYS, we elected our first ofiicers: Mike McGrath to handle the master key, Dick Church- es as the second turner of the master key, and George johnson to wield the key to the diary and the money box. Later in the year we used the key of SOCIABILITY and entertained the sophomores. 146511101165 For our second year we chose the key handlers more quickly in order to get started behind the door marked INITIATION. Mike McGrath again manipulated the master key with Clayton Stone the alternate. Rosemary Davisson received the key to the record book and Mary jane Cour- ter the key to the money box. Because of our rough handling of the freshmen behind the ini- tiation door, we were forbidden to have more social activities as a class. Late in the year our money was the key which opened the jewel box containing our class rings. As juniors we used the key of CO-OPERA- TION to prove that our hearts were in the right place. Those elected to handle the keys with special care were Clayton Stone, Gretta Portz, Tom Boling, and Thespena Trouvos. Ideas for the j-Hop poured in from many sources, with Top Hat getting the open door. On February 13, 1951, the cafeteria was resplendent in top hats and canes. Almost as soon as this event was locked up, the junior play pushed itself through the key- hole- Best Foot Forward. As COIIIIIICIICCIIICHI, 1951 drew near, we decor- ated for both Baccalaureate and Graduation ser- vices. On Class Night, the 1951-ers challenged us in what they thought strong and unanswerable Six 1952 girls as they looked in 19-18. Can you recognize Marilyn Hatlield, Mary Kerr, Betty Baldwin, june Cook, and Belly Mzmconr? n g u terms. Politely, oh, yes, we have our key of COURTESY-we refuted every argument. At long last, the keys to Room 302 were turned over to our class sponsors, Mr. Koski and Mr. Summerer. Each day, with our heads in the sky and our chests out we greeted each other with Hi Seniorl A couple days of this and the teach- ers brought us back out of the clouds with as- signments, themes, and what have you. Deter- mined to start the year right, we elected officers to handle our affairs. The boys say the class meet- ing was held while they were at football practice, hence, Thespena Trouvos,- Margaret McGrath, Gretta Portz, and Doreen Pillow became the key wielders for our senior year. YVe who write this history ask if the boys could have done a better job. Before too long the ECHO list was tacked up, and we found Shirley Roberts, Beverly Dungey, and George johnson as our co-editors, and the duties allotted to many others. Since then, the Staff Tops have worked long and hard to get the materials together and off to the lithographer. October and November were busy months with play practice, property accumulations and stage construction for our second dramatic venture, What A Life, the story of Henry Aldrich and his knack for getting into trouble, QNot so differ- ent from the situation in which we find some of our own studentsj Money-making occupied our time and energies during the football season at the stand and at basketball games with the popcorn machine. Pro- fits from these and other sales are added to the ECHO income that we can sell the book to more students for less money than it actually costs. As the various problems of announcements, cards, caps and gowns, color, flower, motto. etc., arose, each was handled in our business-like man- ner. Early in the year we voted to take the same trip the Class of 1951 had taken-to Detroit by school bus, to Mackinac Island and Chicago on the S.S. North American, and back by boat to Holland, Michigan. This trip, paid for from our own pockets and the magazine money we earned fif we sold any the last two yearsy, took place May 25-28, a never-to-be forgotten four days: plenty of food, dancing, new friends, and new experiences. Mackinac Island's Surrey with the fringe on top doesn't look much like our motor cities. Some of us saw the scenery via bicycles- snow in sheltered corners, the natural bridge, forts and Grand Hotel, to mention only a few spots. Some of us were too tired to get to school o,n May 29 and all were happy to have May 30 off. The Baccalaureate service on Sunday, June 1, was the first meeting held in the new gymnasium. Were we the proud seniors to have this KEY turned for us! On june 3, we enjoyed our Class Night dinner prepared by our mothers and served by the junior girls. At 8:30 that same evening we gave the Class Night Program when we. chal- lenged the Juniors to do even half as well as we did in athletics, music and other fields. We poked fun at ourselves and, all in all, had a grand jolli- fication. The evening of June 5 was the most exciting time for the most of us and a proud evening for our parents. Near the end of the program Mr. Pepper presented each of us to Mr. Brendel, who gave us our diplomas, those KEYS for which we have worked so long, KEYS to open the doors to chosen careers, homemaker, job holder, college student. For the reality of what this represents, we have worked and waited long years.

The all-important J-Hop featured lfVilliam George and his or- chestra. The theme April In Paris was magnificently expressed with murals of Paris covering two walls and a sidewalk cafe along another wall.

They dreaded the initiation party provided for their hnal acceptance into high school by the Class of 1954, but lived to tell the tale another day. The hrst report cards convinced many that they did not have the easy spot they had at lirst kidded themselves into thinking. The fact that they have three homerooms has not mattered as they take over each other's homerooms and the connecting halls before nine o'clock. lVith this idea of unity they will be able to do things together, to make their presence felt in our school, to make a worthwhile contrie mution during the next three years in athletics, the band, the glee clubs, the Student Council, and in their academic classes.

N With George Johnson, Dick Frye, Dick Churches, and Bill Benson back from last year's team and Jim Denorish, Coach Bussard and the Bobcats had high hopes for the 1951-52 season. The Bobcats tuned up for the County League with six straight victories, two being impressive games over Owosso and St. Johns. The Owosso game was a hard fought game all the way as G.B. found their foes tall and good shots, In the fourth quarter the team was leading by five points when Mr. Bussard put Don Bingley in. Don came through 'with two quick baskets that were really needed and G.B. went on to win 49 to 40. johnson led the attack with 19 points. Against St. John's excellent defense, our boys just couldn't get started. The Clinton County boys were hot on their shots and G.B. was behind at halftime. Then Coach Bussard changed the style of play for the second half and Denorish, Benson, Johnson, and Frye each hit a quick basket to take the lead they never relinquished as they went on to win 48-38. Denorish set the pace with 14 points.

Tom Leavy showed what he was capable of by making four out of four shots and Darrell Ham also scored his first basket of the year to help the cause. The team ended the season with Flushing. Our boys were 10 points behind at the last quarter, Benson hit left and right hand shots and johnson, Denorish, and Frye hit to pull it out, 32-35. STATE TOURNAMENT GAMES On March 7 the Bobcats traveled to Mandeville to take on Fenton in the Hrst game of the District Tour- nament. Our boys beat Fenton but only after quite a scare as Fenton led at halftime, 21-19. Their second District game was with Bendle who had knocked off Flint Tech in their lirst game. G.B. jumped off to a They scored 14 G.B. never was flawless ball the points while holding Davison to 5. behind from that time on. Playing Bobcats copped tl1e Regional title as played uhis best game ot the year. Larry was shooting very well, intercepting passes, and, all in all, playing a wonderful game with Bill Benson who also had a good night. johnson and Denorish were the point getters with 15 and 14, respectively G.B. entered the State Quarterfinals a slight favorite over Grand Rapids Godwin Heights who had a fast break, rough bunch of boys with a platoon system. The Bobcats jumped to an early lead of 11-3 but were be- hind with two minutes left in the game 43-45. Then Frye was fouled and awarded two free throws. Dick stepped up and made both to tie the game. Then God- win made a free throw to put them back in the lead. 1Vith 45 seconds left jim Denorish hit a side bank shot to cop the victory, 47-46. Led by Denorish and Frye Larry Mancour WVe won the Quarter-Finals and a trip to jennison Fieldhouse. 26-15 halftime lead. Then in the third quarter Bendle couldn't miss and pulled within two points of us. But two quick baskets by Denorish and two by Frye put the boys back in a more comfortable lead. Led by Frye with 26 points, Grand Blanc won their second District title in a row. Then -it was off to the I.M.A. for the Regionals. G.B. drew Vassar and, playing just enough to win, the boys beat Vassar, 49-41. Davison had won their District games so it was Grand Blanc vs. Davison again, in the game of the year for our boys. Davison had height and lots of it and excellent shooting ability. Davison took a 14-12 leadg then in the second quarter the Cats came to life. the Bobcats were in the Semifinals at East Lansing l against Niles. Niles had been a strong tournament team as they had knocked off two of the leading teams in the State- Frye starts to the other end after making a free shot. St. Joseph and Holland Christian. G.B. .took a com- manding lead at the whistle that they never relinquish- ed. Led by johnson, Benson, and Frye with 17, 15, and 15 points, respectively, the Cats were in the finals as Benson played good offensive ball and Dick Churches played a good floor game. It was a crowded road leading to MSC. Saturday, March 22, as our boys were in the Class B finals against a good St. Andrew team from Detroit. They ll0t only had walked over 47 consecutive teams but also boasted an All-State center. The game was on even terms with Benson and johnson playing inspired ball. ln the third quarter St. Andrew hit four quick baskets and led as the fourth quarter came up, 38-31. Our boys 80 made the second team, and Benson rated a spot on the w1f. .m n Lots of players, but where's the ball? started whittling down the margin and were within live points when St. Andrew started a stall. Benson then stole the ball and drove in for a layup to narrow the gap to three points. ll'ith l0 seconds to play C.B. got the ball again but failed to score. l.ed by johnson and Benson the Bobcats gave St. Andrew the scare ol their lives as the lead changed hands twenty times and was tied seven, before they bowed out Al l-88 to take the State Class B Runners-up trophy. Grand Blanc linished the season with 20 victories and two defeats to complete a very successful season. 'l'he Bobcat point-getters were Frye 200, johnson 288, Denorish 222, and Benson 198. Johnson and Frye were awarded places on the All-County First team, Denorish All-Tourney second team. XVith Benson and Mancour, two regulars from this year's team, and Leavy, Angell, DeFrain, Bingley, and Clark back next year, Grand Blanc is hoping for and looking forward to another championship team.

It is the story of the complications which arise when one of the boys from Winsocki Boys' School invites a movie star to their prom. Thinking this will be a good publicity stunt, she accepts. Then his girl from home shows up on the scene to further the confusion. All of the other girls resent joy's presence because she monopolizes all the boys. Soon they begin scheming for ways of getting revenge. Of course. Dr. Reeher, the school principal, adds to the chaos when he walks in on the riotous situation but Gale joy soon calms him down hy showing him a romantic picture of themselves. In that way she gets back in good standing with the students and makes a happy departure. DUTCH ..... .... C layton Stone HUNK ..... ........ D arrell Ham GREEN ....... ....

The instrumental section of the Music De- partment has kept up its usual continuance of activities. To insure a large enrollment, be- ginners and cadet band members are recruited, trained and advanced to the Band as soon as there are vacancies and they are ready. Instru- ments, music, and training are offered free of charge to any student interested in band work. A goodly number of students buy their own in- struments later and continue in band work after graduation. Participation in the State Fair program again secured for us a trophy. The major activity in the fall was the marching at football games, with special formations rehearsed and exhibited botl1 at our own games and at the University of Michigan Stadium on October 13 and at Briggs Stadium for a Detroit Lions game on October 21. The band concluded this marching season with participation in the annual Flint Christmas Parade, November 30. The concert band begins its activities, fol- lowing the close of the football season each year, thus their programs both precede and fol- low the marching activities. Participation in the area music festivals and the state meeting bring highly prized evaluation and scores.

The 1952 Concert Season really began with the Christmas Concert on December 19. As a special feature of the program the guest soloist was Dr. David F. Machtel, who is a teacher of voice and directs the Men's Glee Club at Michi- gan State College. The band also played at the Spring Festival on May 2 and gave a special concert on May 13. The instrumental section of the Music De- partment has been very busy this school year. One of the first of many activities was the State Fair in Detroit. For this accomplishment our band brought back a trophy. The band has been active throughout the yeariin both Football and concert seasons. They had the pleasure of par- ticipating in the Band Day program at U. of M. with 95 other bands. Also they marched one Sunday for a Detroit l.ions football game in Briggs Stadium.

Letters are awarded to players in the major sports on both varsity and reserve teams, managers, cheerleaders, and for certain other accomplishments. This letter is highly prized and worn with justi- fiable pride by the winners because many hours of practice, training in self-control, and keeping eligibility rules have been in- volved in the earning.

These groups repre- sent a world'wide organization of women and girls of different ages, organizations, nationalities, races, and crceds. Together, Y-Teens seek to enrich their own lives and to do their share in building a better community. They are members of a fellowship of women and girls in 696 YM'.C.A.'s across the United States and in 64 countries of the world. Their purpose is To build a fellowship of women and girls devoted to a task of realizing in our common life those ideals of personal and social living to which we are committed by our faith as Christians. Goals are to grow as a person. to grow in friendship and in the love and knowledge of God. We have many short meetings at school and one wor- ship and social meeting a month. Membership is open to every school girl who believes in the purposes of improv- ing her own life, making her group a friendly and active one. participating in its program, and taking part in the national and international projects of her association. Mic are proud to say that we are part of the Young Women's Christian Association. Pulliam, Pond and Phillips decorating the Y-Teen bul letin board. 103 DHOITO GRADH ClUB Clifl Cummins ,. ,.,A.,.

C lerk The Grand Blanc chapter, Troupe 967, of The Na- tional Thespian Society began its year's activities by elect- ing officers from the previous year's membership. Since the group decided to hold its meetings in the homes of the various members, the Thespians enjoyed many instructive sessions in an informal and friendly atmosphere. One of the first activities of the year was the induction of the new members in the formal initiation ceremony which is used by all Thespian Troupes over the entire nation. A second ceremony during the spring of the year welcomed new members who had earned the necessary membership points in the 1951-1952 dramatic activities. The high point of the 'lbespians' year was the pro- duction of a UIIC-RCI play at Bay City. The Grand Blanc actors were invited to participate in it one-act play festival held at Handy High School in Bay City where their play was presented and evaluated in conjunction with produc- tions from other Michigan High Schools. 105 'YN lf?-N I THIRD ROW: Patricia Slater, Judith Nyman, Patricia Pope.

'Z' And here the line ends with Helen Murphy. When our famished appetites need replenish- ing after a morning of studying, the most popu- lar place in school is the cafeteria. Never has it failed us in supplying appetizing food in gen-- erous quantities. Of course, the department and rooms have grown smaller because we, the stu- dent body, have increased in number until we are served in three periods, on a staggered sche- dule. Too often to please the sixth hour diners, some of the choice foods have been devoured and we get the less tempting foods. Twelve thousand pounds of potatoes had to be peeled, 150,000 bottles of milk had to be handled, 50,000 sandwiches had to be made, mountains of dishes had to be washed. The cafeteria is a place to which we owe respect and appreciation for its share in helping us earn our diplomas. Mrs. Page. Mrs. Convis. Mrs. Maller. Mrs. Kraemer.

T ransportation In a school as large as ours, the Hrst consoli- dated school in Michigan, the responsibility of providing adequate and safe transportation for 1456 pupils is a heavy one. We take great pride in our fleet of 23 buses which Leslie Parker and George King, jr., keep in excellent running order. Others who share in carrying this re- sponsibility are the drivers who, in addition to their regulars runs, often take us on expeditions. 108 D mAln1TSUAnCG Our maintenance stall is always ready and willing to give us a helping hand. They try to keep our school looking clean and orderly at all times, to maintain adequate and even temp- eratures lor our comfort, to make ad- justments and repairs, and to help in emergencies.

Before school was out last year six people, Thespena Trouvos, Doreen Pillow, Shirley Roberts, Beverly Dungey, Norman Hardenburg, and Nelson Bradford were chosen to begin work on the ECHO. They held some meetings before summer vacation and a few meetings during the summer just to learn the funda- mentals of planning a yearbook and to look over old yearbooks and new samples to get ideas for the cover and theme for the 1952 ECHO. Soon after school started in September those six people and the class officers, with the aid of Mr. Pep- per, Miss Berdan, and our class sponsors, selected the ECHO staff. Shirley Roberts, Beverly Dungey, and George johnson were appointed Co-editors. Margaret McGrath, Marilyn Hatfield, Suzanne Kolbe, and Clay- ton Stone were assigned the duty of making up the Senior section. To handle the finances were Doreen Pillow as Business Manager and Norman Hardenburg and Bill Christman as Advertising Managers. Soon after, Joyce Henderson, Subscription Manager, and her committee began canvassing the various rooms for subscribers. After some discussion the Co-editors decided to build the book around the KEY as their theme. The next decision made was on the cover for which they had a special die made. In December pictures were taken and before these came back many an old yearbook was thoroughly studied and discussed in the search for new ideas. Eventually write-ups started coming in for checking and continued coming in until the dead-line, March 17. After that there was a lot of pasting to do. Our activities included a trip to the Edwards factory in Ann Arbor on March 29 to take a large package of material. Through the year we spent many hours in the press-room. Some were worried, some were hurried, some flurried, but all were happy. 117 - 3 Us Vice-Prcsiclcnl Arch places the j-hop crown on Queen Patricia Rccmls.
