Mr. McGrath has lived in Grand Blanc eight years and is Superintendent of the Experi- mental Manufacturing Department at Buick. He graduated from General Motors Tech. His daughter Margaret is enrolled in Flint Junior College and his sons Paul Jr. and Patrick attend Grand Blanc. Board of Mr. Lund, President and Manager of the Genesee Finance Inc. of Flint, has lived in the Grand Blanc School District since 1940. He attended the University of Michigan and has one daughter, Lea Gail, who is now in the fifth grade. Dr. Morrison is a practicing physician and surgeon in Grand Blanc, where he has lived since 1948. He graduated from the University of lllinois and Hahnemann Medical College of Philadelphia and has four children: John, Mark, Charles, and Brenda. .A Education Mr. Miekka, President of the Board of Edu- cation, is Superintendent of the Jig and Fix- ture Department at Fisher Body. His daughter Shirley is a sophomore, and his son Richard and daughter June are attending the Univer- sity of Michigan. The school board members are the men behind the scenes. They have worked long, hard hours this past year in order that our school and community might be improved. Many Wednesday evenings have been spent here at school by these men, and the meetings often last long past midnight. One evidence of their careful planning is the new building which is being used this year for the first time. We seniors are proud to learn our physics and chemistry in the new labs and attend assemblies and basketball Mr. Perry is an assistant vice-president in charge of the Charge-O-Matic Department of The Citizens Commercial and Savings Bank. He holds a graduate's certificate from the American Institute of Banking. His daughters, Judith and Barbara, attend Grand Blanc High School. games in the new gymnasium. One of their most recent projects is the new elementary school which will soon be built near Whigville. The site has been chosen, the property purchased, and the plans for the building nearly completed. At the time of writing this article, plans for publicity and a bond election are under discussion. The Class of '53 would like to express its appreciation to the Board of Education for their active interest in the welfare of the young people of our community. M. Besides being Mr. Brendel's secretary, Lor- raine Parker also is bookkeeper for the Board of Education. , ,,Qk4-Agn If MR. ANTHONY J. BRENDEL, Superintendent The business affairs of our school receive the concentrated attention of Mr. Anthony J. Brendel, who has been superintendent at Grand Blanc since l935. Necessitated by a rapidly growing enrollment, five building pro- jects have increased our classrooms from Z8 to 56. Often, then, during Mr. Brendel's ten- ure, ECHOES of a straining steam shovel have reverberated through the school, and as we, the alumni, gaze at our magnificent new gym- nasium, we will remember it as one of Grand Blanc's great accomplishments during Mr. Brendells administration. l2 .-4' MR STANLEY A. BUSSARD, Assistant Superintendent Every other Tuesday night, the cries of the square dance caller ECHO throughout the building. This is part of the Adult Education Program which is but one of the accomplish- ments ot Assistant Superintendent, Stanley A. Bussard. ln the one and a halt years since he assumed this position, he has spent many hours at his desk and around the building, planning for an improved curriculum. As we hear these ECHOES reverberate in our gym- nasium, we will think of him. 'l3 Mrs. Leona Flory, who is Mr. Bussard'S secretary, also acts as the school's recep- tionist. MR. HOWARD H. PEPPER, Principal ln this picture, the serious expression in Mr. Howard H. Pepper's eyes is tempered with humor around the mouth. This composite is typical of the character and conduct of our beloved principal. News of his presence in a general vicinity travels fast, and upon his arrival, ECHOES of disquieted voices are quick to fade, which illustrates his excellent com- mand of discipline. His counsel, impartiality, dependability, and genuine love for his job and his students make him an inspiration and a guiding ECHO for all.

LOWER RIGHT: Our smiling president informs us that we will have some free time during our Senior Trip to Washington, 53 i ECHOES of the Past Freshman: This was the year the high school was hon- ored by OUR entrance into their midst. lOr so we thought.l Then came the day when we learned that the upperclassmen's smiles were not friendly but smiles of gleeful expectation. The day for our initiation had arrived! The Sophomores took us in hand and gave us an initiation that set the whole school to buzzing. Later in the year we showed our delight l?l by giving them a return party. The rest of the year was spent in trying to get back our self- respect. Our efforts that year were guided by spon- sors Miss Rempel and Mr. White: Class Presi- dent, Larry Mancourg Vice-president, Harold Dunkel, Secretary, Jerry Matthews, and Treas- urer, Nancy Rupp. Sophomore: After surviving our freshman year we were waiting for the next year's crop of lowly fresh- men lour inferiorsl. However, it was sug- gested lby H. H. P. himselfl that we take it a little easy on the Frosh. Therefore, we accom- modatingly gave them an initiation that con- sisted of a movie and refreshments. Later in the year the choosing and ordering of our class rings took up much of our time. Many of these rings changed hands before the owners had time to sit in class and admire them as most of the other students did. This spring another thing of great import- ance to most of the students occurred-the construction of a new gymnasium and class rooms. Marring the events of that year, however, was the death of Jim Snowball, one of our best-liked classmates. As a tribute to him the Sophomore Class attended his funeral as a group. Miss Dowd, our sponsor, aided the following officers in their duties: Harold Dunkel, Pres- identg Richard Wilcox, Vice-president: Peggy Day, Secretary: and Arthur Arch, Treasurer. Junior: After our return to the grind, things ran smoothly as everyone got used to school for another year. The J-Hop was our first big class activity of the year. It was a big success with April in Paris as the theme. Meanwhile, our basketball team, with several Juniors hold- ing prominent positions, swept through the district and regional tournaments only to be beaten by a close margin in the State Finals by Detroit St. Andrew. Early in May we put on our Junior Play entitled January Thaw, which had everyone laughing from start to fin- ish. We closed the social events of the year with a Junior-Senior Picnic as a farewell to the Seniors. That spring our new and nearly completed gymnasium was used by the Class of i952 for their graduation exercises. President, Bill Brandag Vice-president, Ar- thur Archg Secretary, Barbara Perry, and Treasurer, Lola Holleman were aided by our sponsors, Mr. Packard and Mr. Almquist. Senior: This year started out like any other except that we were now SENlORSl The ECHO staff was chosen, headed by Gary Anderson and Marilyn Pasche with Miss Berdan as adviser. We had our pictures taken-then waited for the gruesome results. lDo we look like that?l Career Day at Mandeville High School, with many colleges represented, was very informa- tive and helpful. During this period we also decided on the class colors, motto, flower, and the color of the graduation gowns. After the Christmas Vacation we ordered our announce- ments and name cards. Then came the Senior Play, Mr. Barry's Etchings, which was a rousing success. Our time was then occupied with following our basketball team which brought fame to Grand Blanc High School by advancing to the State semi-finals for the third straight year. Our spring was then filled with the Senior Prom, Senior Skip Day, and Senior Trip, which we were very fortunate in taking to Washington, D. C. Returning to school from the trip we spent our last few days at Grand Blanc High School in taking tests, attending the Class Night program, and Baccalaureate. Commencement, June ll, l953, closed our high school career at Grand Blanc High School. Our sponsors during this important year were Miss Berdan and Mr. Summerer. They directed the efforts of the following officers: President, Jim Angell, Vice-president, Tom Leavy, Secretary, Barbara Perry: and Treasurer, Joyce Reed. 50 PEGGY JANE DAY CARY D.

At the district contest, held at Dye School, the A Cappella walked off with excellent ratings, which qualified them for state competition at Michigan State College. There again they were rated very highly, The Red Mill, a Victor Herbert produc- tion, was the name of the light opera given by the A Cappella, the biggest event of their year. With the extensive costumes and scenery shipped in from the producing company, this program will be remembered by all the students for many years. The last appearance of the Choir was at the l9'53 Commencement exercises, a perfect ending for a busy year. A Cappella Double Quartette C. Leavy, C. Anderson, J. Jeffers, J. Ang ell, A. Longroy.

The two-mile course, over fields, up and down hills, and through chilly water was the test for the six Bobcat runners. The key scorer for the team was Dick Stiff who con- tinued to run up the score as pace-setter for the team- a repeat performance. Grand Blanc finished its season with the county meet at Flint Central's Dort Field where Stiff again gave a good account of himself, placing ninth. The letter winners were Jim Davisson, Darwin Frost, Bob Jensen, Dick Stiff, John Wright, and Norbert Wuest.

Varsity Football Holly I3 - Grand Blanc l2 Lady Luck had her back turned on the Bob- cats on September 9, as they opened the sea- son by losing to Holly by one point. Mancour's passes to Benson and Kirby were not enough as both conversions failed. Kirby's 75 yard print return for a T.D. was nullified by a pen- a ty. Davison l3 - Grand Blanc 20 As abruptly as a gun ends a game, Larry Mancour's first pass, in the opening seconds of our game with Davison on September 26, was pulled in by Kirby for an 80 yard T.D. jaunt. G.B.'s additional tallies by Mancour and Hal Hinton gave the boys the lead which they never lost. Beecher 26 - Grand Blanc 6 The Bobcats hosted the league-leading Buc- caneers October 3 only to be crushed by the Buc's one-man backfield. Jim Angell scored our lone marker in the second quarter as he powered over from the 30 yard line. An un- ruly crowd caused the game to be halted in the final quarter. Kearsley Zl - Grand Blanc i4 An evenly fought and sportsmanlike battle between the air-minded Bobcats and the hard- running attack of Kearsley ended with G.B. having lost in the final 30 seconds. One of Mancour's many completed passes found Ben- son in the end zoneg another pass set up our other tally. A sad October l0 for G.B.H.S. Tech 0 - Grand Blanc 26 Gillespie, Kirby, and Jeffers all scored touchdowns via Mancour's accurate passing against Technical High on October l5. Grand Blanc had no trouble stopping Tech's offense and breaking through their defense. The fourth T.D. was executed by Kirby's scatback run- ning. Harold Johnson and Chuck Myers ac- counted for our two conversions. Mt. Morris 6 - Grand Blanc O As the game between these teams pro- gressed, it was clear that the battle was a test of defenses. Almost the entire game was played within the 30 yard markers, but in the second quarter Mt. Morris's Bob Wolf re- turned a Grand Blanc punt 80 yards for the only touchdown of the game.

Fenton l3 - Grand Blanc 26 Larry Mancour and Company hosted the Fenton Tigers on Alumni Field, October 3l. The contest was a thriller for both sides as the teams have been close rivals for many years. The players on both sides were keyed high for the game and never once gave up fighting. As the first half ended, Fenton led by 7 points, but George Kirby took the second half kickoff and sprinted 85 yards to knot the score at 7-7. Fenton's Don Alchin scored on an intercepted pass and again put the Tigers back in the lead. But a Mancour-to-Angell pass put G.B. within one point of Fenton as the fourth quarter started. Gillespie powered over from the five and Angell snagged another Mancour pass to finally put the game on ice. Flushing O - Grand Blanc I3 Grand Blanc unleashed its passing power again as Larry Mancour tossed to Benson for 40 and 35 yard touchdowns on a cold Novem- ber 7. The G.B. defensive team played their best game of the season against one of the heaviest lines in the county. G.B. stopped Flushing cold on four of the Raider's power plays within our own lO yard line. Clio l3 -- Grand Blanc 20 The final game was rated our best game of the year, as the Bobcats ran past Clio on our own field November I4. Clio, defending champs, scored twice in the first quarter to give them a l3-O lead. No scoring was done in the second stanza and the first half ended with G.B. still behind. In the second half things began to happen very fast. The Bob- cats had a new team after Tom Ward fired up the seniors on the first string. Gillespie re- turned a punt 90 yards to Clio's five yard line behind some very good blocking, and Angell took it over. DeFrain scored in the last quar- ter by catching an Angell pass. Clio's offense was stopped and Gillespie won the game by snagging a Mancour pass in the remaining minutes. 105 i n VARSITY FOOTBALL Although this year's team, comprised of 22 returning lettermen, was light, it overcame this weakness by its over-all speed, poise, and experience. Our clockwork quarterbacks, Larry Mancour and Joe DeFrain, kept the ends and backs busy with their passing ability. The line- men also played their part of the game, either opening holes in the line or protecting the passers behind them. The ability of the team was revealed when twelve OB. players were mentioned on the All-County line-ups. Larry Mancour, Emerson Stilwell, Robert McWain, and William Branda Reserve were picked for the first squad. Charles Rich- ardson, Richard Matznick, Ray Carey, Lynn Nagel, Roy Shabel, Marvin Hardenburg, James Jeffers, Jim Angell, and Tom Leavy received honorable mention. Letter-winners were senior co-captains Mancour, Hinton, and Richardson. Other sen- iors who received letters were Angell, Ben- son, Bissonette, Branda, DeFrain, Dunkel, Har- denburg, Jeffers, Jones, Kilgore, C. Leavy, T. Leavy, McWain, Matznick, Myers, Nagel, Pearson, Schabelg juniors Carey, Coon, For- bush, Gillespie, Kirby, and Stilwell. FootbaH FOURTH ROW: R. Banfield, L. Morse, R. Keyes, F. Harris, R.

The Hornets outplayed the 'Cats throughout the tussle, and held our quin- tet to one of their lower scores. The next game was with Owosso, in which the Bobcats' claws were razor-sharp and out to draw blood. They did. They whipped Owosso, a Class A team, by 6 points. Grand Blanc easily rolled over St. John's, winning 59 to 40, but was knocked off by a fast-breaking St. Matt's team. A newcomer to the Class B schools, Holly, fell to Grand Blanc, losing by I I points. Bendle and Davison also submitted timidly to our cagers, by 62 to 4l and 65 to 52 scores respectively. Next in sight was one of the stronger teams of the county loop, Beecher. The contest was evenly played throughout, with the lead changing hands I5 times. Going into the fourth quarter the score stood at 4l - 4l, and was tied 6 times during that quarter. Up to the final minutes of the game, it could have gone either way, but the Bucs pulled away to win 67 to 62. The boys were pointing for revenge in the next game with Kearsley. Their hopes were fulfilled as they beat them by 8 points. The next four opponents were St. Mike's, Flint Tech., Mt. Morris, and Fenton. They all fell by slashing scores to our 'Cats, 6l to 56, 49 to 35, 77 to 55, and 83 to 57 respectively. The 'IO7 Basketball Flushing Raiders were hosted by our boys and l,4OO screeching fans in our new gym for the game that meant the league championship for either team. The end of the first stanza saw the Bobcats hold a mere one point lead. In the latter part of the second period the Varsity came to life and pushed out ahead 26 to l9. In the third quarter Grand Blanc lost its lead and was on the short end of a 32 to 3l score as the quarter drew to a close. With a one point lead and a few seconds remaining in the contest, Flushing stalled the ball, was fouled, and sank a free throw as the final whistle blew. Clio, the last league game of the season, felt the wallop of the Bobcats as they were drubbed by a 7l to 53 score. Looks as if Leavy disagrees with the referce J' fi X, G' L ,EU WX' N -17, Q H.

Tillotson breaks fingernail on rim . . . but gets rebound. Shooting at a .354 clip the Bobcat play- makers defeated Davison in the opening round of District play. The fact that the Cardinals tried to jam the center with a zone defense gave Mancour a chance to direct plays with ease, in addition to collecting l l points. Jenson with 7, Angell with 8, DeFrain with 9, Man- cour with l l, and Benson with 2l points gave the 'Cats good scoring balance. Grand Blanc led throughout the game and just waited to spring upon the boys from Lapeer the follow- ing night. They did spring but with just enough power as the game went into overtime. After a free throw by Benson, Lapeer started a stall, but Angell forced a jump-ball and Grand Blanc got possession. Mancour whipped the ball to Benson and he dumped in the winning bucket. In the third game in a row, the Bobcats powered to a 6l to 45 decision over Fenton. At the end of the first half, Grand Blanc led Fenton by only 5 points. But as the game pro- gressed, our boys consistently splashed the nets for the District championship for the third consecutive year. ln the first round of Regional play, Grand Blanc drew Cass City, one of the State's lead- ing contenders. The first half was played on even terms. As the third stanza drew to a close, Cass City held a lO-point lead. DeFrain, throughout the game, constantly pecked away at the hoop for 6 field goals and 2 free throws for his best showing in tournament play. In the fourth quarter, our boys out-scored Cass City 2l to l3. Angell, in the final minutes of play, dropped in a lay-up and a bucket from outcourt to give the Bobcats a three point lead kept by an outstanding stall of the ball.

G-K 'I 5 lg-,'1 T iv 5 of Tech, was basket for basket and as the sec- ond frame drew to a close, the Grand Blanc cagers led 21 to 18. It was the 23-point third quarter that put the game on ice for the Bob- cats. With startling accuracy, Mancour kept the hoops red hot by hitting 8 buckets in 14 tries for a sizzling .571 average. This victory was a much deserved win for a very tired bunch of Bobcats. The loot for that night was a 62 to 51 win -and the Regional trophy. The Quarter-final game with Utica was won by everybody who made a freethrow or a bas- ket, but the credit must go mainly to Larry Mancour and Bill Benson because it was Lar- ry's brilliant passing that got the ball to Benson in time for him to make the game-winning basket while the clock showed but 1 second left. The score was tied 8 times and the lead changed hands on eleven occasions. In the last four minutes, the score was knotted twice and the lead changed 8 times. Utica started strong and the Bobcats were behind nine points dur- ing the first quarter. But in the second stanza our boys began to hit the meshes and outscored Utica 21-10. The third period ended with Grand Blanc on the top end of the 49 to 44 score. ln the last four minutes it was Benson's four field goals and Mancour's superior ball handling that put the game in the Bobcats' paws. The final score was 58 to 59. Two days later for the third year in a row, our cagers visited Lansing to participate in the State Semi-finals. This contest was against Tillotson plus four other boys from Ludington. The outcome of the game was apparent after the first half, as the Cats were down by 16 points at that point of the game. The third quarter was Grand Blanc's down- fall. Our boys didn't make a basket and scored only four free throws. Grand Blanc's shooting average of .224 was the poorest in the tourna- ments. The Bobcats took only 49 shots during the game and made eleven. The final score was 55 to 37. ln the last three years the Grand Blanc teams have won 58 of the 66 games played, three District Championships, three Regional Championships, three Quarter-Finals, and one Semi-Final game. This is surely a record of which the coach, the players, and the school may well be proud. FREE THROWS 22 Games 1. Mancour .691 l 56 - 811 2. DeFrain .559 l 52 - 931 3. Benson .554 ll27 ' 2291 4.
