Pepper, the one person who has DONE the most for the students of Grand Blanc High School for 28 years, we pay our highest tribute. During his long period of service to the young people of this community, as High School principal, students have been guided and inspired by him. Again, during our senior year, Mr. Pepper has proved his ability as Administrative Assistant. And to him the alumni return with friendly greetings, for words of advice, or to report their progress and successes in the world. In appreciation for his friendliness, sympathy, loyalty, and heart-warming sincerity, we DO dedicate this 1954 ECHO to our former principal, Mr. Howard H. Pepper. F oofewoofd By the time this book is in your hands, 118 people will have accomplished a truly great job. The class of 1954 will have graduated from Grand Blanc High School and thus will have received an education more complete than that of any previous generation. In this, the 1954 ECHO, we present a review of the activities of the school year,-what has been DOING in the classes, the clubs, and in all the athletics. You will see what the faculty and administration of are school are DOING to produce better citizens . . . citizens who will some day be DOING great things for our country and world. oin Administration Because of their patience, experience, and knowledge we shall be able take our place in the world and do more eupnbly the many tasks which will be set before us.

Pepper accomplishing many tasks. Duties pertaining to transportation, maintenance, cafeteria, and the purchasing of textbooks come under his supervision. As Director of Adult Education, Mr. Pepper has maintained and increased the interest of the school patrons in academic, vocational, and recreational activities. In addition to these specific duties, Mr. Pepper DOES many things in Public Relations and in assuming somewhat routine chores previously handled by the Superintendent.

Superintendent As our superintendent, Mr. Anthony Brendel has the important responsibility of managing the business affairs of an ever-growing school system. Conferring with the architects and the lawyer on plans for the new school and interviewing candidates for teaching positions - DOING these tasks and many others make up Mr. Brendel's job. He has also been an active member of the M.E.A. for thirty-two years and for the past live years has served on its Board of Directors. Moreover, his inter- ests in the school personnel has not been lost in the . welter of business detail, for he maintains an active interest in the personal problems of everyone. ANTHONY BRENDEL fPrincipal L3 1.7 Working an eight-hour school day and many more hours, evenings and week-ends, Mr. Stanley A. Bussard, as principal of our high school, has proved himself a capable, efficient, and faithful administrator. His sincere interest in the students and their DOINGS has been demonstrated many times this year. Signing excuses and making announcements are just a few of his routine duties. He also holds interviews with stu- dents, parcnts, teachers and salesmen on a wide var- iety of subjects. DOING all these jobs skillfully indi- cates the ability of our principal. sTAN1-1zvA Bus ARD 9 .4 Board of Education J ,. .J .. PAUL Mc GRATH V EZR .X WV. PERRY j.

Aside from his work and personal avocations, he is an active worker in the Grand Blanc Men's Club and the Boy Scout program. The Grand Blanc fire siren sets Mr. McGrath into motion as a hre-fighter. The Mc- Grath family home is at 5078 Perry Road, east of the school area. Mr. Perry is a native son and a graduate of Flint Central High School and the American Institute of Banking. 1-Ie is a man whose integrity brings prestige to any organization or project in which he works. ln addition to being secretary oi the Board of Education he is the president ol the l-'lint lfarmers Club, and a member of the Board ol County Commissioners. His home is at 5159 S. Genesee Road. Dr. Murphy was graduated from St. Michael's High School of Flint and the Kirksville College of Osteopathy and Surgery, Kirksville, Missouri, he has done post-graduate work at Michigan State College and the University of Michigan. He is a member of the Rotary Club, and the Elks, and is a State Examiner for the Michigan State Athletic Board of Control.

HOWVELL, SR All of us are proud of .the five men who are the present members of our Board of Education. Each is a busy man in his own field, yet he gives to the connnunity and its younger generation many hours of what could be time for recreation, travel, and leisure to be with and enjoy his family. The job is not a nine and three-quarters month job but one continuing throughout the Iifty-two weeks of the year. In our rapidly growing community the build- ing program takes many hours for conferences, inspection trips, and local meetings. But when a task is completed the residents of the district know it has been well done, be it the task of VVILLIAM H. MORRISON, M. D planning the budget, the erection of an addition or an entirely new building, or the hiring of the faculty members for the succeeding year. Before this 1954 ECHO is distributed the contracts for the VVhigvi1le Elementary Building will be let and, we hope, the construction work will be under way. But even these twenty rooms will be overflowing by the fall of 1955, when the building is expected to be ready. A myriad of details on diverse subjects receive the necessary attention ol these versatile men,-an engineer, a banker,a business man and two physicians. To each of you we say, Thank you for everything.

The students find an outlet for their boundless energy and also achieve a team spirit which improves the whole school. Future school teams will show the effect of this expanded supervision of sports activities. During the past year a square dancing class has been added which makes for a well-balanced physical education system. Grand Blanc has one of the best programs to be offered anywhere and since it is backed by everyone in the high school, it is marked for a great future. ,ii . ,.

But behind these energetic workers have been our even more energetic sponsors, Miss Berdan and Mr. Brosz. It was through their leadership that we were able to accomplish our aims. They were always on hand to give encouragement when it was needed. The amount of time they have given to us and the patience they have displayed are astounding to the one hundred and seventeen seniors.

Though we possessed a natural fear of initiation, our fears were soon dispelled for the event took place without any unfortunate tragedies. NN-'ith Mr. Carey and Mr. Packard as class sponsors, we elected Dick Keast, Monte Wilson, Judie Kipp, and Marlene Pound to lead us through the rest ol' our year. .L Mr. Packm Mr. Koski, and the boys who served punch an among pse who enjoyed the J-Hop. Our first anticipated duty as Sophomores was to initiate the lowly Freshmen, a job we did with pleasure. Our officers, Melvin Ervin, Dick Keast, Alta Jensen, and Barbara Schlaud, selected designs from which we ordered and later re- ceived our class rings. As most classes do, we believed ours was extraordinary. XVl1en Jerome Gillespie was elected president ol the Student Council, we were, indeed,the exalted Sophomores. Miss Dowd and Mr. Grosskoph were our patient sponsors. Students like doing the Bunny Hop at a Senior spon- sored dance. 48 It's going to he an especially good batch of popcorn this time. We commenced our Junior year by electing Byers Howell, Allan Longroy, Barbara Schlaud, and Marlene Pound as class officers. Front the many suggestions we had for the theme for tl1e J-Hop, we decided upon Penthouse Serenade. Everyone let loose with his own personal touches of modern art. YVe worked hard and long, but the night of the dance made up for our labors, for we had produced a huge success. Later in April the Junior Play, Rehearsal for Death was presented, with Mr. Packard directing. Everyone concerned gave a sigh ol relief when the final curtain fell. Our class sponsors for that memorable year were Mrs. Packard, Mr. Packard, Mr. Koski, and Mr. Kerensky. Finally the glorious day arrived when we could say We are Seniors. The enchantment was shattered when Miss Berdan and Mr. Brosz informed us that we had to work hard in order to bring credit to that name. With Jim Mayo, Seniors sit two-in-a-seat in homeroom. 449 ing Rudie Cope, business chairman, is kept busy with pencil selling. Barbara Burek, Janet Nylander, and Joy Branda as class oflicers, we started on our numerous money-making projects. lVe sold paper, pencils, and Little Major in school, and we 1llllSUl,t forget the Senior concession stand. Anyone who has worked in it, certainly won't. lVl1en Marlene Pound and Ron Brewer were named co-editors, long, tedious hours of toil began on the ECHO. Thanks to Mr. Packard, our Senior play, a comedy entitled Dear Ruth, was a huge suc- cess. Our last dance, the Senior Prom, really started our graduation activities. On May 21 the class departed on the long awaited Senior trip. After four days of excitement on the S.S. South American, at Mackinac Island. and in Chicago, we were ready to return to Grand Blanc and exams. Our Hnal week began on a serious note 4 f gg Even the Seniors patronize the Senior stand at basketball games. with Baccalaureate on June 6. After the delicious class dinner on June 8, we had an evening of nonsense and hilarity, exchanging jokes and slams with the juniors.

Doris McBride Ray Carey Dick Still Rellearsnl For Death, by George Batson, takes place on the auditorium stage in a small mid- western city where a civic theatre group is using local talent to present a thrilling melodrama. Stella Carlisle, one ol the later summer roses, has been imported to play the stellar role. A note which threatens the direst of consequences for the whole C2lSt if the play is produced reaches the directress, Eve XVestman, a rather harried young school teacher. The plot progresses rapidly through two romances, two successful murders, one attempted murder, and numerous other in- volvements to a suspenseful climax. Eventually the villain, previously unsuspected, is exposed and virtue triumphs in the end. 74 X 1. ,I But you just could not have done it.

The scene opens in the living room of the Wilkins home, Kew Gardens, Long Island, in late summer, 1944. The daughters of the family, Ruth and Miriam, and their various suitors hold the attention of the audience. Miriam's letters, signed with her older sister's name, have brought Lt. William Seawright to see Ruth. Ruth, en- gaged to a middle-aged banker, tries to let the soldier down easily, but finds herself falling in love with him. During a lover's quarrel Bill's sister and the Sergeant enter, to further compli- cate and confuse thc plot. 75 STANDING: Bob Warren, jerry Matthews, Charles Richardson, Bob McWain, Peggy Day, Coy Thomason, Carol Barker, Myrna Page.

The Red Mill is the story of two Americans, Con Kidder QTom Leavyj and Kid Conner ltlim Angell, who become stranded at an inn in a small village in Holland. After being caught by the Burgomaster fCalvin Leavyj and Franz, the sheriff Qjerry Matthews, , as they tried to escape without paying their bill, they were put to work for the innkeeper QBob Mclvainj . 76 The two Americans contrive a scheme to save the Burgomastefs daughter, Gretchen fPeggy Dayj , from a distasteful marriage with the Gov- ernor QCoy Thomasonj. Bertha fCarol Barkerj , the Burgomaster's sister, aids Gretchen in her escape. A romance between Con and Tina flvlyrna Pagej , the innkeeper's daughter, adds to the gaiety of the Operetta. The rest of the choir made up the various choruses. 01.71 Athletics DOING our best in whatever we strive for has taught us that to be a good loser is as important as to be a good winner.

Although the 1954 varsity football team had a record of only 3 wins to 6 losses, it does not mean that the boys were not out there doing their best. They practiced very hard and fought until the final gun of every game. Coach VVard had only seven lettermen returning and this inexpcrience seemed to be the downfall of the 1954 Bobcat team. Nevertheless, Grand Blanc produced some outstanding players. George Kir- by was honored on the defensive All-County team and Jerome Gillespie and Jim Rogers re- ceived Honorable Mention. This year's letter winners were: SENIORS: HOLLY 26 GRAND BLANC 14 On Sept. 18, Grand Blanc was host to a strong Holly team. Senior George Kirby showed he hadn't lost any of his talents, when he took a pass from Don Gratsch for one touchdown and scored on an end run for another. Dick Reider kicked both extra points. However, Holly had the edge in experience and outplayed the Bob- cats, as the score shows. J. Gillespie, E. Stilwell and R. Carey, Co-Cap- tainsg D. Makela, L. Forbush, G. Kirby, R. Miller, L.

Eickg SOPHOMORES: D. Gratsch, Richardson, R. Banheld, and F. Har- ris. The fourteen underclass lettermen have hopes that the experience gained in this year's team will make them the nucleus of a powerful Grand Blanc eleven in the 1954 season. DAVISON 0 GRAND BLANC 12 vVith more defensive plays and a little ex- perience under their belts, Grand Blanc showed Davison they had lost their hrst-game jitters as Kirby and Gillespie both ran for touchdowns. Davison was in scoring position several times, but could not break up the Bobcat defense. 83 Stillwell charges up to help teammates tackle the Kearsley runner. BEECHER 12 GRAND BLANC 6 The Beecher game was a tough one for the Bobcats to lose. After Jerome Gillespie had bulled his way over from the 5 in the second quarter, Grand Blanc was out in front 6-0. But late in the game the Bobcat defense weakened and the Buccaneers scored two touchdowns, the second in the last two minutes of the game. FLINT TECH 31 GRAND BLANC 14 Grand Blanc was favored over Flint Tech in this game, but the bright lights of Atwood Stadium got in their eyes and they took quite on an end a beating. Grand Blanc scored hrst run of 25 yards by George Kirby and, after Tech scored, the Bobcats SCIlt Gillespie sweeping up the middle for 9 yards and a touchdown. From then on it was all Tech.

KEARSLEY 0 GRAND BLANC I2 On Oct. 8, Grand Blanc's guest was a team picked early in the season as a good one for the championship. But the Bobcats seemed full of Ere after losing the heartbreaker to Beecher and took the sting out of the Kearsley Hornets. Once again it was Kirby and Gillespie scoring for Grand Blanc. MT. MORRIS 27 GRAND GLANC 0 Bill Yates, Mt. Morris ace quarterback, led his team on a rampage against our Bobcats. Grand Blanc could not Gnd a hole in Mt. Mor- ris' defense, which had not been scored on all season, and the Panther team dominated the whole game. Mt. Morris scored three touchdowns in the hrst half and one in the second half to give the Bobcats a crushing defeat. FLUSHING 12 GRAND BLANC 20 Jerome Gillespie raced 30 yards for the Hrst Bobcat touchdown, and, in the second half, Frank Harris scored his first varsity touchdown by crashing over from the 5. Reider's conversions were good. The Homecoming game was then highlighted by Kirby's fancy 65 yard sprint for Grand Blane's last score. Flushing saved them- selves from being skunked by scoring twice in the last quarter. Gillespie scores for Grand Blanc. FENTON 31 GRAND BLANC 13 The Bobcats were greatly handieaped by having to play most of the game without halft- bztctks George Kirby and Jerome Gillespie. Bob Miller, who played lmlfbnek, scored the first touchdown, :md Pete Stableford scored between the Fenton touchdowns. Diek Reider kicked the extra point. CSCTUC Gillespie looks for a good hole as Kirby lends his interference. CLIO 20 GRAND BLANC 6 The lust game of the season was a sad Hnale for the Bobcats. Although our defense stopped the running of Clio's big fullback, Chuck Robey, the offense could not get going. Not until the last quarter did Miller Gnd the range with one of his tosses to Gillespie for the 6 pointer. Football THIRD ROW: Mr. Seymour, H. Green. D. Relyen, M. Crawford, R. Frank, I.. Hinkley, B.

Although the l953-54 basketball season did not produce many wins for Grand Blane's Varsity team, the Bobcats kept up a spirit of good sportsmanship and high morale throughout the season. Because they did keep lighting, they chalked up two victories against league oppon- ents. The wins were scored against Mt. Morris in a A17-E55 tilt and against Clio in 1149-41 decision. 'l'he Bobcats started the season with only two returning letter-winners, Bob Jensen and Louis Malik, and a new coach, Mr. George Dunn. It X wild scramble for the ball by Gillespie. Boyce, Snyder, .md an opponent. was mainly because of this inexperience that Grand Blanc's i953-5-I team did not match the records ol' previous Bobcat teams. This year's letterhwinners were Louis Malik, Bob Jensen, Bob Snyder, Douglas Boyce, Jerry Peters, Jerome Gillespie, Eugene Davidson, John Bingley, Don Gratsch, Bob Banlield, and Sam Conrter. Since the last live ol' these boys will be back next year, Grand Blanc has hopes ol regaining her place in the basketball world. .X beautiful push-shot by Jensen.

Student otmcil CJD What flavor will you have? The Student Council has continued some projects of previous years,-lunch hour entertain- ment, assemblies, and dances. The hall traffic has been improved by enforcing one-way travel on stairs. A campaign for greater use of waste baskets showed results in cleaner floors. New projects included the purchase of a system of microphones for the stage of the new gym and a larger, improved popcorn machine. The microphones have proved to be of great value to speakers, play casts, and music groups and also the audiences. Almost everyone attend- ing basketball games has enjoyed the hot, tasty popcorn made by the seniors. A and B honor rolls have been prepared and published in the school paper under the supervision of the Student Council. ,wmv The smile of the happy queen of Homecoming Alta Jensen. .V Q7'fSf2afGfwM K X Some of Greenland's wildlife., Viewing the display after an assembly.

It is a symbol of hard work, worry, and thought. But of even more importance is the purpose of this book - to record the DOINGS of the school year. This 1954 ECHO will be one of the prominent links in the chain of memories tying our future lives to our past. An idle moment or a bit of news prompts one to pick up this book for refreshing the memory of a long forgotten face or incident, or for reminiscing - recalling and reliving class- room expcriences and for the many wonderful DOINGS within the protective walks of Grand Blanc High School. Thus the ECHO becomes a real, tangible section of our lives. Echo Staff S 5 5 , X so . 93 wp si., S, -Q ye! 0 '57 .-.in - , S f ' ,in M, W 1. wb v. . . as ff , , , ... Spf ff 5 . i ,Q ' ' I-FF.
