In this hook we are attempting to record the events of our last year so they may always remain vivid in our memories. Page Four Dedication The 1940 Senior Class wishes to dedicate its yearbook to Keith B. Odle,- a teacher who came to the school when we were Freshmen. He has by his untiring efforts aided us during all of our high school life. For three years he has been our class sponsor, and this year, in addi- tion to his other Senior activities, he has served as adviser to the Business Staff of the Blue and Gold. His amiable manner and genuine interest have made him a true friend of every member of our class. In Memoriam We do not applaud a fellow like this, but pay tribute to him with respectful silence. As we knew Jack Daane he was an unassuming fellow, intelligent, quiet, ambitious. He was a hard worker, liked baseball, and was in- terested in Boy Scout work. Jack was well liked and will he well remembered. Still ahve 1n our memories is the name of A1 Fortmo, who started high school with us.

Babcock and Mr. Olsen, Our Leaders Our two leaders manage our school with the greatest ability. To Mr. Babcock, our superintendent, we owe a debt of gratitude. During our entire school life from the time we toddled into kindergarten, through all our trials and vicissitudes, and down the rugged path of our school life, he has guided us. Mr. Olsen, our principal, has broken the path for us through our four years of High School. He has loyally supported every activity that would he helpful to the students and faculty. He has assisted many of us in making plans for the future. Page Tc Offices Keep School Running I was absent yesterday. May I please have an excuse? Miss Young and Mr. Olsen hear this every day. When we need advice we are free to go to either Miss Young or Mr. Olsen. Berclean Huitenga, Agnes Vander Ven, and Lillian Wiegerink keep our offices in working order. Berdean, the secretary to the Board of Education, is kept busy balancing the budget, paying bills, and simplifying the duties of club treas- urers by taking care of all Activity accounts. Agnes has a file of what each one of us is-or should be-doing and when, where, and why. Lillian has a triple sized job, serving as secre- tary to Mr. Bosworth, Mr. Hodges, and Mr. Harris in the Vocations office. Page Eleven Social Sciences Alcquaint Us With World Problems Then there was the map maker, who, when he made a mistake in drawing his map of Europe, waited until the European borders had changed so his work was correct. These Social Studies teachers are puzzling over the same problem and are wondering what the boundaries will eventually be. The Social Studies enable us to understand more thoroughly our ugovernment of the people, by the people, and for the people. Civics deals with our government and its operation. History reveals our progress and our past blunders, enabling us to interpret the present. In American Problems and Foreign Problems one becomes better acquainted with maga- zines, newspapers, and authors dealing with important situations confront- ing our nation and the world. These classes lead one to straighter thinking. Mr. Graybiel, Miss Campbell, Mr. Moore Mr. Cohrs, Miss Bell - Miss DeYoe, Miss Felzo, Miss Schutt, Miss Dykhuizen, Miss Freclericks Miss Hurst, Miss Butler English lnspires Us to Speak Fluently, Write Correctly, and to Enjoy Reading After the Revolt of the Mother, Mary White, lay down in a Terribly Strange Bed. On Lying Awalce at Night, she had an American Dream about Romeo and Juliet swimming the I'Iellespont-- No, these aren't the ravings of an insane person, they are only a few of the literary creations which the English classes study. Reading these inspires us to creative writing. Our ideas are expressed more clearly after studying grammar and composition. Unaccustomed as we are to public speaking, we over- come that after a year in Speech class. Plays, pantomimes, orations, declamations, parliamentary procedure, manners-all serve to give us poise, Page Thirteen Miss Young, Miss Fosler, Miss Bower Languages O er a Cultural Background Gallia est divisa in partes tres. A11 Latin students certainly recognize this as the beginning of Caesar's Gallic Wars. Latin is not a cleacl language. Everyday we use Latin derivatives in our vocabulary. Trente jours ont novembre, Arvil, juin, et septembreg De vingt-huit il en est un, Les autres en ont trente et un. Even though we learn that in the U. S. all the rest have 31-until we hear from Washington-what French student of Miss Bower's has not learnecl the little Verse? Page Fourrcm We Are Proud of Our Library Where can I find a book on the development of English Literature during the age of Queen Elizabeth? Many students ask the librarian questions such as the one above. She is faithful in her work securing the books that students request. The librarian and her assistants keep a careful check-up on all the books taken out. Approximately twenty-five books go out of the library each day. However, the books are constantly used in the library by the students during study halls and until the library closes at 4:30. We are fortunate in having an outstanding school library. Three hundred thirty-live new books were purchased in September, 1939. The library contains several sets of encyclo- peclias, dictionaries, and other reference books. It either takes or receives as gifts, fifty magazines. Some of these are for the Junior High, others are professional magazines for teachers. All the back issues are filed for reference work in the stack room. va- . .yr if l Mr. Holloway, Miss Fosler, Miss Hurst Mathematics Leads to Logical Thinking -b 1 Xf b2-ac X 2a - How many of you freshmen Algebra students remember this formula? Whether you remember or not, or even if you don't remember any specific thing, you learned the first year, you have accomplished some- thing-the art of clear thinking. Besides Algebra, Plane Geometry, advanced Algebra, Trigonometry, Solid Geometry, as well as Business Arithmetic, are offered in our school. High school mathematics develops our minds to become keener. In addition to being a good basis for a college education, it helps us in prac- tical applications of everyday life. Page Sixteen ge Sevcntee A Knowledge o f C hemistry, Biology or Physics Makes Us a Part of This Scientifc A ge Science is a broad field. Chemistry, biology and physics are closely related subjects, but they cover such a wide variety of scientific knowledge that they must he studied from different angles. In the biology classroom we study animals and plants- their classifications, life functions, and care. Chemistry lah is a busy place. Theory and experiment are carefully mixed, giving us definite proof that the 92 elements, matter, and energy really exist and-that the mole- cular and atomic theories have sound bases. The Physics laboratory polishes off our scientific studies with the principles of machines, heat, light, sound, magne- tism, and electricity. Here it is easy to understand the practicability of our experiments. Mr. Odle, Mr. Sanders, Mr. Thoma Miss Towers, Miss Shell W Home Economics and Personal Regime Stewed tomatoes? No, baked apples. Whatever it is, it smells tempting. After the fourth hour one may hear such conversation as students rush down to the Cafeteria. The food is pre- pared hy the second hour Home Ec. class. But alas! We are told not to concentrate our thoughts on our stomachs. Let's make something to wear-pretty silk, wool, or cotton dresses, suits, or play suits. They are all styled perfectly for the individual. Boys and girls both are offered the Personal Regime course. The purpose of this one semester subject is to help a student develop his personality and character, and instruct him in the art of proper grooming. Page Eighteen Page Nineteen Commercial Courses Train Expert Stenographers The constant patter of typewriters may be heard from morning 'til night in the typing room. After a course in typing, a student must obtain a minimum speed of thirty words per minute on three successive copies. In shorthand class, brief forms, special forms, and ordinary words are puzzling, but fun. At the end of the year, a student must be able to take dictation and transcribe accurately at least sixty words a minute. Commercial Arithmetic, Commercial Law, Bookkeeping, and Ad- vanced Stenography offer practical training for office work. Office Practice, a new course this year, gives the student individual and class experience in the uses of office equipment-Dictaphone, Mimeo- graph, Ditto, and Calculator-as well as Hling practice and textbook work in speed building. Miss Podhajski, Miss Covert, Miss Walters Mr. King, Mr. Arnold Plan Your Work, Then Work Your Plan By working with many kinds of tools on many opera- tions, a student specializing in industrial education has an opportunity to make a wise selection in choosing his per- manent vocation. Mechanical drawing is the universal language of indus- try. In the mechanical drawing room, the boys learn to know drawing tools, and apply their knowledge in making actual prints. The Shop gives the boys a chance to work with machines used in factories. They acquire practical experience and skill in woodworking, woodturning, metal work, machine lathes, electroplating, forging, foundry, welding, electricity, and printing. Page Twenty The Vocational Education Department Combines Apprentice Work and School The activities of this department, which is a part of the educational system of Grand Haven, was formed to answer a need which had developed in this and other communities throughout the countryg a need for skilled and trained workers in the various industries and business establishments. Through the establishment of Apprenticeship Training Programs young people who are desirous of becoming skilled in some occupation can, with the cooperation of the employers in this city, receive a very thorough training in their chosen work if the opportunity for training is present. Ir is another form of education to assist young people in a very definite field of endeavor and usefulness.

Those discords that resound through the halls during the day have a purpose. All that practicing of the Glee Club, Choir, Band, and Crchestra eventually results in harmony. Art has been extended to a two-year course because of the increased demand. In the studio at Central School the art students use as their medium of expression, show-card paints, water colors, crayons, charcoal, pencil, pen and ink, waterless paint, and chalks. The student art work is displayed at the annual Art Exhibit in May. Mr Holloway, Mr. Quackenbush Page Twenty-Two Miss Anderson, Mri Schaubel Athletics Make Us Physically Fit One, two, three, four-up, down-touch the floor. One, two- way clown. ' It's the freshmen and a few others who can exercise and relax one hour during the Clay while the rest of us have to sit in classes! Boys and girls under different supervisors have a few calisthenics at the beginning of their gym classes. Then they play a game of basketball, baseball, soccer, or volleyball. All the boys in high school are given an opportunity to participate in intramural sports. The more advanced athletes play on the Major League teams, while the rest of the boys are on the Minor League teams. Lawrence Schmidt's Wildcats won the tournament in the Major league. They also defeated the faculty in the annual post-season game. In the Minor league games, Louis Smith's team, The Rinlcy-clinlcs, won the title.

Our play, Arms and the Man, was credited as being one of the best acted plays ever put on in the high school even though the attendance was cut down by the Hu epidemic. The last big event of the year was the Junior-Senior Prom which was a great success. -Dear Diary: This year has been the best of all. One hundred fifty-six of us have survived and are graduating. Our play, Fashions,', an old-fashioned melodrama which we gave in December was one of the most successful ever presented. We sponsored a school party after the last football game which was greatly enjoyed by all who attended. As a fitting climax to this, our last year, were Senior Skip day, the Junior-Senior Prom, and most important of all, Graduation. -Elizabeth Hanson. Senior Play Drama! Melodrama!

When they left Harvard they took an Austin-Taxicab to the railroad station. The driver, Ralph Ambler, was a student working his way through. They took the Bethke-Boelens train to New York. On the train was Betty Baldus, Phyllis Balgoyen's hairdresser. Phyllis had just finished acting in a play based on Fay Kamphuis, novel. The talented critic was talking to her boss, Robert Mulder. Maryellen Lillie, the lawyer, and Virginia Pellegrom and Lorraine Colson, the two laboratory technicians, were chatting about their school days. Kirk Bloeser, the camera man, was on his way to New York to turn his pictures in to Associated Press. Muriel Ten Have, Phyllis Rescorla, Marjorie Emery and Helen Dornbos were on their way to New York to spend their summer vacation at the Fair. At Grand Central Station the porter, James Selig, carried their Smickler bags to a Parchart-Pellegrom taxi. Charles himself drove them to the Ritz where the doorman, Woodrow McCaleb, helped them out of the car. Francis Kisosondi greeted them at the desk and called Marvin Tans to show them to their rooms. The next day they were to take the Vander Molen-Van Wynen ship for the cruise. They checked out of the hotel built by the Bonny Contracting Co. and took a taxi to the dock. This time it was Earl who drove them. He took them down Fifth Avenue and they saw all the shops. The Eunice Millar Dress Shoppe, Gleason and Grubham Music Shop, Dorothy Swiftney and Ruth Swartz were advertising the latest styles in formals. Rayda Dykstra, Norma Jean Chapman, Evelyn De Vries and Mary Arkema and Evelyn Chittenden were on their way to work. The nationally known models, Eleanor Kruizenga, Mary Brown, and Angie Beukema, were on their way to the studio. When they reached the boat the steward, Bob Lulofs, greeted them as they walked up the gangplank made of De Boer's lumber. They met the Captain, Alvin Jacobson, and the First Mate, Warren Bolling. On the dock Cora Hey- bloom was checking up on Catherine Paas' luggage while the movie star herself talked to reporters, Marjorie Ernst, Maureen Norris, Jessie Olsen and Jack Fosheim. Jane Vender Veen, the singer, and her accompanist, Margaret Johnson, were coming up the gangplank. Jack Morrison, Glen Nygren, and Bill Oakes were on the way to South America to study engineering. Frances Crouse and Mildred Boomgard were going to continue a course in medicine in the other continent. John Meilinger was traveling to buy foods for his father's Grocery Syndicate and Ray Ott was to purchase goods for Reichardt's. Harold Gerber, Peter De Vries, James Duer, Jack Aldrich, and Erwin Weavers were going to the University of Brazil to play football. Their manager, Jack Voshel, was going with them. Rev. Hyfred Vander Veen was seen chatting with Harold Ver Berkmoes, the Conservation Officer. Just then the members of Robert Van Hoef's orchestra, who were to play on board ship, came aboard. Those in the orchestra were-singer, Doris Jean Bosch, Gordon Collins, violinist, Ervan Dornbos, clari- netist, Frances Vyn, pianist, Virginia Olson, novelty numbers, William Westhoff, vocalist, Bob Svoboda, saxaphonist. About this time the ship steamed out of the harbor. The next day they arrived in Havana, Cuba. They hired Carl Ackerman as their guide. They bought souvenirs from Audrey Van l lall's Souvenir Shop, and window shopped on the main street. Here they saw familiar names as, Hale's Sport Shop, Mar- garet Miller Yonkman Beauty Shoppe. As they walked by two operators, Dorothy Ver Hoeks and Jennie Waskin, were just coming out. The three Petersons, Albertha, Margaret and Ward, were running a Travel Bureau. Dona Lois Plumb and Jack Robinson painted the posters for them. In the Rose Drug Store they ordered a Schmitt malted milk. Two ambassadors, John Griffen and Chester Bolthuis, were arguing about foreign politics. Chester was the one who won the prize for the most beautiful garden in Cuba. While they were drinking their malteds, Elizabeth Hanson, the well-known Mathematician, came in with Edwin Burns. They seemed to be arguing about a mathematical error Ed had made. It was at this drugstore where they learned from the waitress, Betty Conant, about the tearoom run by Mildred Graf and Mary Ann Jonker. Later in the after- lContinued on page forty-sevenl Page Forty Six Class Prophecy CC011fifwfdD noon they had tea there. Among the waitresses were Frances Arbogast, Margaret Behm, Ruth Briegel, Agnes De Bruyn and Carol Dusterwinkle. Down the street from the tea room was a dress shop run by Gene Law and Norma Wilds. Betty Hascher and Catherine Hartman were telling Marie Linn what they wanted while Bettyjane Wilkinson rang up a sale from Joan Smith, the noted poetess. By this time the two decided to return to the ship. That night as the ship steamed farther north, the passengers enjoyed a dance and floor show. The following evening the ship docked in Rio de Janeiro. Ruth and Gene went ashore and saw a Van Beukering advertisement for a Pofahl Ice Skating performance at the Prelesnik building. The star, Charlotte Van Dyke, was just beginning her routine as our friends entered. They were shown to their seats by Jerome Schultz, Virginia Donner came around with Welling candy, Sluka gum and Roossien flowers. That night they met Hester Van Tol, the owner of the largest boardinghouse in Rio de Janeiro, and some of the roomers, Jean Hendricks, a brilliant executive, Edward Eckert, a retired guard oHicer, Evelyn Engel and Fern Fulk, who were taking advanced studies in the University of Rio de Janeiro. Jayne Gosen, Elaine Grunst, and Dorothea Green, three clerks in a downtown store, and Burdett Moritt and Frank Parcheta, two insurance salesmen. The next day the two travelers bought more souvenirs at the Maierhauser- Mieras Shop. They bought some Plutschouw paintings, a Nichols handmade bag, a handmade Snyder braided bag and a Ringleberg bracelet. Harold Ringold helped them carry their purchases to their ship. Before the boat left, a group ,of New York working girls came aboard, Eunice Holtrop, Emily Kadlec, Ruth Kraeger, Ruth Laman, Virginia McCarthy and Marcia McFall. When they left Rio de Janeiro for New York the next day a group of miners were on the dock waving good-bye, Virgil Morris, Howard Rossema, Franklin Scholte, William VanderSys, Peter Wiebenga, Howard Work- man, Fred Wuis, and James Yedinak. A few days later the passengers sighted the familiar Statue of Liberty. On the dock was Margaret Miner, Gene's secretary, to meet them. Mildred Neitring and Beulah Peck took time off from their lunch to meet their girl friends. When the two had passed the customs officers they again drove up Fifth Avenue. They noticed a few new shops: The Poel's Millinery, run by Caroline and Mary Ellen, was a very large establishmentg Geraldine Ruiter, Nina Schippers and Betty Schouten were busy waiting on the wealthy Marian Sickman and her able companion, Ruth Snoek. Adeline Swanson was walking down the avenue with Bernice Swartz looking for a drum majorette's outfit to wear to the Tubb- Vander Wal masquerade. Arlene Van Hall, the Tubbs secretary, stressed the masquerade part of the ball. Esther and Virginia Warber were going to attend as gypsies. Eva Strazanac, Irene Wiebenga, Alberta Zuidema and Barbara Clark were to be in the receiving line. -Mary Ann Jonker. Clagg CContinuedJ I, Lawrence Schmitt, will my basketball team to Coach Graybiel.

Junior Play The Junior Play was a farce entitled Q'What a Life, by Clifford Gold- smith. It was based on the trials of a problem child, Henry Aldrich, who is a character of a well-known radio serial. The part of the problem child was played by Clifford Pfaff, who spent most of his time in the principal's oflice. When he wasnit in the oH:1ce he lied, cribbed, fought, drew cari- catures of his teachers and collected old shoes.

A bit more self-confident group elected as their President, Finny Haley Vice-President, Wesley Browng Treasurer, John Zyslcg and Secretary, Helen Fisher. To represent our class of 196 members on the Student Council, we chose Bill Viening and Bud Norris. Miss Dylchuizen again assisted and advised us in our activities. We initiated the Freshmen into the social whirl of the school at a dance in the fall. Having finished another year in G. H. H.

The Council inaugurated a ul'li-days program, sponsored a Christmas dance, promoted Christmas hall decorations, and instigated a campaign for a new name for our school athletic teams. The Assembly and Social Committees of the Council have arranged working schedules for our assembly programs and social hours. This year the Student Council joined the district Inter-School Council. 0ur Representatives have contributed to the monthly discussions and have prohted from the advice they received from the other members. There are ten members in the Student Council: President ---- Alvin Jacobson Vice-President Edna Mary Jacobson Secretary - - Maryellen Lillie Treasurer ---- Bill Veining Don Austin, Craig Van Zanten, Carl Johnson, Bud Norris, Mildred Klempel, and Ted Rycenga. Page Sixty Social Hours Social hours have become increasingly popular and Well attended dur- ing the past year. The Swing Band was on hand to provide music at several parties. Enthusiasm for parties was aided and abetted by a series of instruc- tion classes and practice dances. Mr. Thoma was instrumental in keeping these going. Music was furnished by the latest records with the victrola and amplifier. The gym was beautifully decorated for the Christmas Ball, which honored last year's grads. Ir was a happy reunion. Another highlight of the year was the Home Ec Leap Year dance, when the boys got the breaks. Everyone had fun at the hobo party which was preceded by supper-box lunches that the girls brought. These, with several group and class parties, made the school social life of the year. I I .GRA WD H.

The paper was run on the scale of a large city newspaper, with reporters, press cards, and subscriptions. The Sand Dune was edited, and mim- eographed in the typing room, dis- tributed from there to both schools. Frequently, the paper had brightly colored sheets. Page Sixty Four Speech Club The Speech Club is composed of students interested in the speaking arts or any work connected with a stage performance. The meetings were held every third Tuesday night. A Christmas play, The Uninvited Guest, was presented by eight members of the club at the December meeting. Edna Mary Jacobson entertained the club at her home where we listened to the Town Meeting of the Air. The Speech Club put on a skit entitled Who Murdered Mr. Classical Music? at the Musical Revue held February 26. It was a comedy and proved to be a great source of entertainment. This was the only outside activity par- ticipated in by the club.

We have more members than in any previous year, one- hundred and fifteen. Because of the large number in the club, it was necessary to have two pictures taken. The meetings are held on the second Monday of each month. The main purpose of the club is to create fellowship among its members, and to get the girls interested in Home Economics. The officers are: Ruth Briegel - President Margaret Kieft Vice-President Ruth Kraeger - - Secretary Phyllis Rescorla ----- Treasurer Activities of the Year .. A potluck supper in October marked the first meeting of the club. At our November meeting the new members were initiated. At this meeting, we collected several baskets of food, which were distributed to those in need. In December, we had a Christmas party. We collected baskets of food and toys in order that we might do our share to help everyone have a Merry Christmas. The January meeting, we enjoyed an old-fashioned sleigh-ride. In February some very inter- esting movies of Grand Haven were shown. On March 9, the club sponsored a leap-year dance. The girls asked the boys, called for them, paid their way, did the cutting in while dancing, and even furnished the cars. A good time was had by all, especially the boys. In April a hard times party was held. We concluded our program for the year with a skating party in May. Girls' Athletic Association Page Sixty-Seven A11 of you, who wish to participate in girls' sports, are welcome to join with us in these activities which we, who are members, so thoroughly enjoy. Basketball, volley'ball and baseball are our spe- cialties. Competition is keen especially when a t0ur- nament is in progress. We sponsor candy sales throughout the year to pay for ,our letters awarded at the end of the year. Along with our athletics, we have enjoyed a combined hike and beach-roast and a sleigh-ride in January. We claim for our club the benefits of clean sports- manship, friendship, loyalty and co-operation, and the advantage ,of social contacts outside of the classroom. Our oflicers are: President - . - Peg Wilson Vice-President - Yvonne Fisher Secretary-Treasurer Beverly Fisher Sports Secretary - Virginia Olsen Athletic Director Miss Tekla Anderson Y ff 0, , ip JEZ f i ig ' l' ' ln Q l ,v LL ' 1 ai imliiii, f F A ::LgQ , 1 I i I t i illlli wr Ei E3 - sr,,s, 1 f up V i f X - a i F V ici i if F its F 541 G 'I F if. y E T i l 'sv Y Camp F ire Girls Unusual interest was shown in Camp Fire the past year and as a result our membership was doubled. As there were too many girls for Miss Podhajslcils group, a new one was organized, the Chickagami Group, under ' ' b ' h new the guardianship of Miss Covert. There are thirteen mem ers in t e group and eighteen in the old one. The Camp Fire Girls have followed their regular course of activities with the selling of hot dogs, frost bites, and candy bars, various hikes, ' h al business ties a week end at camp' the annual house party, t e usu Par 5 ' a and ceremonial meetings, and, not the least, a public council fire at which Miss Garvin, a field worker from National Headquarters, was a guest. We know that many a Camp Fire Girl in the future will recall pleasant h h ve had this past memories of the gatherings around the fire t at we a year. Page Six ty-Eight M. S. Gri n Last year, the Girl Scout Mariners were a new organization in the high school, but this year its place is firmly set in high school activities. A two-day canoe trip down the Grand River was the highlight of the GriHin's expedition last summer. A week-end Gam at Kalamazoo launched the fall term and was promptly followed up by a Penny Carnival, a sleigh-ride, and many trips to Muskegon to go swimming. The ship-room has been fixed up with real running lights and a ship's wheel. The Mariners are developing into real sailors, and soon this unique organization of she sailors will hold a real place in the water-activities of Grand Haven. Members of the GriHin,s Crew are: Skipper - - - Grace Johnston Mate Doris McCrea Yoeman Yvonne Fisher Scribe ---- Jean Mitchell Jean Cameron, Marjorie Meyers, Adeline Swansen, Doris Johnson, Pat Vander Veen, Helen Fisher, Elaine Aldrich, Jeannie Weaver. Page Sixty-Nine Tumbling Team The Tumbling Team was organized in 1938 by Mr. Schaubel. Ar that time, there were 25 to 30 out for places on the team, but it was cut down to nine. :Phe exhibitions of that year were very popular with everyone. In 1939 and , 40, theyiwesre very much in demand. The group performed in assemblies, at basketball games, and for outside invitations. The Team is attempting to raise money for suits. Some of the people who invited them to perform were kind enough to give contributions for the suits. P This year the team is composed of Bill Fischer, Jack Mead, Peter Bonny, Dan McFadden, Bob Tipsword, Richard Klempel, Eugene Darling, and Howard Ott. Se Rifle Club The Grand Haven Rifle Club was organized in 1938. It meets every Wednesday night from 7-9 in the basement of the Armory. Any student may become a member. The membership of the club this year was thirty members while the average attendance was about eighteen. The idea of the club is to learn how to shoot a rifie and try to better one's previous record. The club is a member of the National Rilie Associa- tion, and participated in two series of matches sponsored by the N. R. A. There were ten matches in both series. The club had demonstrations as to the proper handling and shooting of guns by officers of Company F and by State Trooper Lester Coykendall, who is known as a sharpshooter. Our officers were: President Jack Sweeny Vice-President - Pete DeWitt Secretary-Treasurer Woodrow McCaleb Range Officer Warren Bolling Instructor Kenneth A. King Page Seventy-One Hi-Y The Hi-Y club of 1939-40 took on one of the biggest jobs in many years. This was the selling of Shrine Circus tickets in Grand Haven. The members of the club entered into the selling with much enthusiasm and as a result the Hi-Y clubs in the future will be able to handle the ticket selling in Grand Haven. The Hi-Y club also furnished programs at the football games, sold coco-cola at the football and basketball games, checked at the plays and musical doings, and had two booths at the May Festival. The ambition of this year's club has been to furnish the school with a new trophy case. The district Hi-Y meeting was held at Grand Haven this year, and besides putting this on, the I-li-Y club also had beach roasts for the members, the custom for many years. The officers are: President - Vice-President Secretary - Treasurer Sponsor Other members are: Jack Aldrich Don Austin Bob Bowen Pete DeWitt jack Graham Eugene Hale Rodney Hale Carl Johnson 'Dean Misner Jack Morrison Pete Pulos Raymond Ott Joe Palmer Pete VandenBerg Gene Rothi Alvin Jacobson - Ed Burns Glen Nygren Mr. Moore Neil Vander-Noot Don VanBemmelen Bob Van Hoef Craig VanZanten Bill Viening Ed Weavers Page Seventy-Two Discussion lub In such history-making times as these, one finds it difficult to analyze and align events so that they can be made to show their true status. Con- troversial issues often come up and produce prejudices. Removal of prejudices and distorted truths is the purpose of the Discussion Club. There is a special need of a Discussion Club in school. It offers an opportunity for the continuous study of discussions of current affairs. Students who do not carry current affairs courses have an opportunity to discuss problems which are interesting to them. This continuance of study tends to make the student acquire the habit of maintaining an interest in public affairs after his school days are over. This club was organized by Miss Bell and Miss Hurst and the mem- bership consists of several people who have recently graduated and any students who were interested. Ir is one of the most informal clubs in our school, the members feeling free to come when they can to the Wednesday evening meetings. The club has discussed such widely known topics as Labor, the Church, foreign affairs and relations, war and its causes, peace and its defects. At some of the meeings, there were speakers who con- ducted discussions in their special fields. Page Seventy-Three Photography Club The photography club was formed this year under the leadership of Mr. Arnold, who is also interested in the increasing popular hobby. Ar our first meeting of the year we elected officers, and decided on dues for the year. Ar our meetings, our time was spent in studying picture composition and lenses. We also took group pictures, table tops, and scenic pictures which we developed, printed, and enlarged. We tried a new idea in our club this year and that was the handing out of assignments which were brought in at the next meeting and were judged. This idea worked very well. On April 1, we had the pleasure of seeing some colored i'shots which were taken by Mr. Arnold. We wish to express our thanks to Mr. Arnold for his leadership throughout the year.

Roberts, Stewart DeWitt, Don Trull, Harold Roossien. Page Seventy-Four Nature Club The club consists of the taxidermy and con- servation departments. Weekly field trips are made for purposes of conservation and observation of our wild-life. Feeding stations were established during the winter months and have proved suc- cessful. Observations have been aided by the use of the camera. At present, plans are being made to join the Nature Club with the 4-H Clubs of Ottawa county for the purpose of conserving our wild-life by es- tablishing feeding stations over the whole county next fall and winter. The taxidermy department has mounted a few specimens. Our sponsor is Mr. Odle.

He re- ceived All-Conference hon- orable mention, and was voted one of the best sports- men in Michigan, by the football officials of the state. Weavers-Two year letter winner and co-captain this year, Ed played a very good brand of football all season and has been named a tackle on the All-Confer- ence second team for two Gerber-Two year letter winner and star end. Gerb was one of the most out- standing defensive ends in the state this year, but his lack of showmanship on the field robbed him of an all- state berth. He was the best end Coach Graybiel has ever coached and was placed on the All-Confer- ence second team. years. PT? was 5- -Q9 Bartholmew Two year letter winner and one of the greatest fullbacks Grand Haven has ever known. In the Muskegon game he made most of the tackles and was the only spark of offense Grand Haven had. In that game he injured himself so badly that he was handicapped all the rest of the season, but still managed to get All-Confer- ence and All-State honor- able mention at the full- back post. Coach Graybiel-Coach Graybiel is a graduate of Central State Teachers College where he played varsity football for three years and built a reputation as a hard lighting guard and an accomplished place-kicker. He also had some good records as a coach after he left college, and we are sure he will come up with a winning team in the next two years. The record this year was only fair, but he adopted a plan of developing players for next year also. Page Seventy-Nine '1,. 4, ,.

' Football 1939 With the second new coach in two years and an array of seven lettermen, Grand Haven High School had only a mediocre season. Although Coach Edward Graybiel's team won only two games and tied two, promise of great teams in the future was shown. In Harold Gerber and Ed Bartholmew Grand Haven saw two players who can truly go down in Grand Haven's grid history. Montague 30-0 Grand Haven began her season against a weak Montague team and won handily 30-0. Grand Haven played well in the first half when Ed Barthoimsw and Pulos led four touchdown drives. Pulos set up one touchdown with a forty- four yard run-back of a kick. Bartholmew got loose for another thirty-three yard run besides scoring two touchdowns. Rothi went over for the fourth touchdown. In the second half Coach Graybiel gave his subs a chance and Grand Haven didn't score again until Przysucha caught a pass in the last minutes of the game for the touchdown. Three Rivers 6-6 Grand Haven's second game was against a tough Three Rivers team under their lights. Grand Haven wasted no time in making their touchdown. After receiving the kickoff .on the Grand Haven twenty-six yard line they marched fifty yards to the Three Rivers twenty-four yard line due to the Hne running of Bartholmew and Boomgaard. Here Grand Haven lost the ball but recovered it again on the three-yard line. Pulos then skirted their left end for the touch- down. Grand Haven had frequent chances to score in the second quarter but seemed to lack the punch necessary to score. Grand Haven held all of Three Rivers' thrusts until the last three minutes of play when Pursley passed from the Three Rivers thirty-yard line to the fifty where Potter took the ball and ran fContinued on next pagel Rothi-Three year let- Aldrich-Two year let- Peterson-Senior end er wnner and regular ter winner and star cen- who was kept out of ac- signal calling halfbaclc. ter. tion because of a leg in- jury for most of the year. Page Eighty .M . - A -W we, .1 .wa if al.U' Football 1939 the remaining distance to tie the score. Svoboda, Gerber, and Duer played fine defensive games. Bartholmew was outstanding in the backfield. Muskegon 0-28 Grand Haven took their worst beating of the season from the Big Reds at Muskegon. Muskegon found a hole in the center of the line and over-tackle for four touchdowns. As Muskegon smashed Grand Haven's line to ribbons the local offense was not to be found. Ed Bartholmew played an outstanding game at fullback, carrying the brunt of the offense and being the best on defense also. Throughout the game Bartholmew showed himself to be the outstanding man on the field and one of the state's best fullbacks. Gerber and Captain Jacobson played good games. ' Kalamazoo 14-13 Playing their best game of the season Grand Haven beat Kalamazoo in im- pressive style. After Kazoo scored a quick touchdown in the opening minutes of play, Grand Haven began to march. Bartholmew and Boomgaard alternated carrying the ball until the touchdown was made from the one-yard line. Weavers converted, tying the score. Again in the second half Kazoo took the lead when Kistler, being faced with a long loss, reversed his field and raced fifty-six yards for the touchdown. Gerber blocked the try for the extra point. Again Grand Haven put on a drive with Bartholmew, Boomgaard, and Pulos running and passing to the three-yard line. Here Grand Haven lost the ball but gained it back on the twenty-two. Pulos' pass to Gerber went for the touchdown. Weavers converted by place-kick for the winning point. Bartholmew's running with Boom- gaard was outstanding as was Pulos' passing to Gerber and Bergman.

Page Eighty-One Football 1939 gaard played most of the game covered with tape as both were injured the Saturday before. V Benton Harbor 6-18 Grand Haven journeyed to Benton Harbor to take on a strong Tiger team under their lights. Starting the game without Bartholmew and Boomgaard, Grand Haven had more misfortune when De Vries and Rothi were injured in the second quarter. Grand Haven did well in holding Benton Harbor to three touchdowns. In the last quarter in a driving rain, Svoboda broke through the Tiger line to block and kick and land it on the two-yard line. Morritt smashed it over for the only Grand Haven score. Gerber and Zuidema played outstand- ing defensive games while Przysucha's kicking was Grand Haven's only shining light. - Muskegon Heights 6-26 Muskegon Heights' Southwest conference champions next came to Grand Haven and inflicted a humbling defeat upon us, 26-6. After the Heights took a two touchdown lead in the Hrst quarter Grand Haven got its passingattack started. Boomgaard threw pass after pass to Jim Bergman until we had scored a touch- down just before the second half. Gerber and Bergman did most of the defense and offensive work while Boomgaard and Rothi did the heavy work in the backfield. Lansing Eastern 0-26 Lansing Eastern administered a crushing defeat to Grand Haven as we plaved our third game of the season under lights. Eastern was led by Earl Clark, All-State quarterback, who scored all their points.

Page Eighty Two Football 1939 a fumble on their thirty-yard line. Again in the fourth quarter Grand Haven advanced to their thirty-yard line on passes from Pulos to Bergman. Zuidema did some good defensive work for Grand Haven as did Gerber and Weavers. Pulos was Grand Haven's only offensive threat. Saint joseph 0-26 Grand Haven was again defeated by a fine passing team from St. Joseph. Passes netted them all four touchdowns and their extra point. Grand Haven's line was impenetrable throughout the game, but passes spelled defeat for us. Grand Haven's only thrill came on the opening kickoff when Pulos ran the ball back to the fifty-yard line where he was tackled by the only man between him and a touchdown. Hale and Przysucha's kicking was Grand Haven's only offense. Bergman, Gerber, and Peterson, the ends, were outstanding on a very strong line. Holland 0-0 With one of the largest crowds of the season on hand the annual Ottawa County Grid classic ended in a scoreless tie. Both teams had chances to score but fumbles cost Holland all their chances and penalties at important times cost Grand Haven their chances. Defensive play of Gerber, Pulos, Jacobson and Weavers was outstanding, while Boomgaard did well on offense. Van Hoef, an end, and two year letter winnerg Jim Duer, fullback who showed up well in the Holland gameg Svoboda, guard who played good ball at the first of the season, and Schmidt, Morrit, and Selig, all backlield men, have all played their last game for Grand Haven. Zuidema, promising Junior fullback, was unable to have his picture taken. H. Duer--Sophomore Ed johnson-Also a guard who showed up Sophomore guard who well this year. will be heard from next year. Page Eighty-Three Reserves Football Although the second -team didn't win all of their games this year, they did show fine spirit and speed, at times. Three of Coach Odle's players were good enough to be brought up to the first team during the season, where they played good football. Many other potential stars were developed including Jonker, and Zysk in the backfield. Jonker for his line bucking ability, and Zysk for his passing and running ability. On the line Rescorla, Skendrovic, VerBerkmoes, Smith and Ver-Plank looked very promising. Fritz Skendrovic is a fine kicker and is very fast, so the first team will be able to use him next year.

After a poor flrst half of the season Coach Cohrs started developinguhis team for next year. With this younger group of fellows the team began functioning well and they annexed the District Championship. One of the highlights of the season was the play of BillxViening, the Sophomore star, who led the team in scoring, making 117 points of the team's 341 total. Viening was the only Grand Haven player to be placed on the All-Conference team, and this was justly so as he was outstanding the whole season. Grand Haven started the season in impressive fashion by beating a strong Big Rapids team Z7-23. Free throwing meant the victory as Grand Haven made 13 free throws in 21 chances. Viening made 13 points and Tripp 7, to lead the locals. The next game was against an all-veteran Grand Rapids Christian team and the game wasn't even close as they won 33-17.

Ac no time did the Height's 'Conference Champions have more than a 4-point lead until the last minutes of play. Vyn with 6, and Jacobson with 5 points, led Grand I-Iaven's scoring. In one of the toughest games in years Muskegon used their famous stalling technique to good advantage as they won 21-17. At times the game got out of the officials, hands and the fans went wild. Tripp, shifted to forward, scored 6 points. Grand Haven journeyed to Holland and faced an all-veteran team. The Blue and Gold team weren't able to hit the basket and Holland won 25-14. Zeeman played fine defensive ball and also scored 4 points. At Benton Harbor, another of the thrilling games of the year was played. Grand Haven led the whole game up to the last quarter when Peckham scored many tip-in shots and won the game for Benton Harbor 36-33.

Starting the second round of Conference play at the Heights, Grand Haven was beaten 29-18. Grand Haven kept abreast of the Heights for the first half due to the fast play of Tripp, but the Champion Heights team pulled away in the second half. Viening made 7 points. Coach Cohrs started a new forward line against Muskegon but the Big Reds won out in a thrilling overtime, 23-21. With seconds to go DeWitt sank a long shot to tie the score 19-19, and send the game into an overtime. In the overtime Vyn made a quick basket and Grand Haven led 21-19, but Muskegon scored 4 more points to win 23-21. Grand Haven scored their first conference victory of the season by trouncing Holland 31-19. Holland lost key players at the half year and were no match for the fast Grand Haven play. Grand Haven played their worst defensive game of the year as Benton Harbor won 40-24. After keeping pace to Benton Harbor in the first half, Pjesky and Peckham scored point after point to win.

Grand Haven couldn't get started in the Big Western State Gym and closed their schedule in poor style. Viening made 6 points although injured. Grand Haven took the District Basketball Championship by beating Zeeland 25-19. Grand Haven played loose ball but was good enough to win. Zeeman and Viening led the team in scoring with 7 and 6 points. The First Regional game was played against Lowell and Grand Haven won 25-21. Viening scored 17 out of the 25 points, and Coach Cohrs was able to play his subs the last quarter. In the Regional title game against Grand Rapids Christian, Grand Haven was beaten 30-26. In a very close game, Grand Haven closed the season in line sty1e as the players played their best game of the year, when ' they threw a big scare into the fast Christian team.

Head Football Coach Graybiel had charge of the second team and he developed many good players. It was the first season in many years that the Reserves didn't have a winning percentage. This year's team won five games and lost seven, one of these losses being an overtime game at Muskegon Heights, and one of their wins being a thriller at Holland. Jonker and Rescorla looked very good at guards and should be useful to the first team in a couple of years as they are only Sophomores. Verplank showed plenty of fight at center, and Nedervelt and Sweeny at the forwards led the team in scoring. All three should be valuable next year.

Of these lettermen, Peterson and Burns are outfielders, Bartholmew a first baseman, Beekman a catcher, and Jim Duer a pitcher. Selig, a transfer student from Ohio, will also help the team. Workman, Jonker, Ennenga, Fisher, and Norris won minor letters last year and will be able to step into the spots vacated by last year's graduates. Last year's team finished the season with a record of eight victories, and four losses. Six of the victories were in succession. The last victory was against Muskegon Heights and Grand Haven won out by scoring five runs in the last inning to win 8-7. The last game of the season ,was a thriller with Muskegon edging Grand Haven out in extra innings, 2-1, although they only got two hits off the pitching of Johnny Thieler. Page Nmety-One 1 Tennis This year's tennis team will have an array of seven veteran players. These players include Van Hoef, Rod Hale, Tripp, Austin, E. Hale, Misner, and VanBemmelen, who will carry the main duties of the team. Due to the return of the many veterans, Grand Haven will be favored to win the Southwest Conference, Regional, and State Class B championships. Last year's team placed second in the conference with seven matches won and three lost. In the Region tournament Grand Haven won with four- teen points to the next team' s six and one-half. The singles and doubles finals contained all Grand Haven players. In the state Class A tournament Grand Haven finished in a tie for fourth place with two points.

Nygren and Morritt will also be back to fill in for the fourteen meet schedule Coach King has arranged. The team will play all the schoolsin the conference twice except Kalamazoo and Benton Harbor whom they will play once. Last year's team had a fair season winning six and losing five meets. Grand Haven placed high enough in the Regional tournament to qualify for the State Class A tournament, but they had little luck at Lansing where the meet was held.

The'Sophomores and Juniors who took English, History, and French were out there in the morning, while Freshmen classes in Algebra, Latin, and English were conducted in the afternoon. Mr. Graybiel, who had charge of the morning group, Mr. Moore, Miss Fredericks, Miss Bower, and Miss Hurst taught the Sophomores and Juniors while Miss Fosler and Miss Butler taught the Freshmen in the afternoon. , Sound-proof rooms made the Ferry building an ideal place for study. The overcrowded conditions of the school made assemblies a problem. However, the students enjoyed the break in their routine when they walked to and from assemblies. Page One H undred -One Page One Hundred-Two Music W rite-Up The music departments of our high school have progressed so far in the past year that we believe they are worthy of special recognition in our annual. Mr. Holloway is our new Band director and the Orchestra, Choir, and Glee Club are ably supervised by Mr. Quackenbush. Although the Band is smaller than in previous years, it is a moving group and we may expect great things from it in the future. During the football season the Band showed real spirit and was right there at every home game. After the football season was over, concentration in march- ing technique was shifted to the study of concert pieces in preparation for the West Shore Music Festival which is held every spring. Then the last ten weeks was given over to work on next year's football music. This year every member of the Band was expected to be a soloist, so he chose a difficult piece and worked on it all semester, playing it as part of his exam. Next year the Band hopes to sponsor two light concerts and four assembly programs. It also is planning to have a real outfit for football games. A new Band Club has been formed this year. The members are Band students, and its purpose is to develop a fuller understanding and appreciation of good music. The Senior Choir consists of forty members and meets every day for one period. It has furnished music for the Rotary Club, a regular Sunday morning church service, Tuesday Musicale, P. T. A. programs, and for many occasions in school. The group went to Grand Rapids March 30 to cake part in District 7 Michigan school vocal festival and to the West Shore Music Festival in Muskegon. Members of the choir sang in the Musical Revue and they give a concert with the Orchestra. Daily practice combined with outside appearances has brought about an experienced and well- fContinued on next pagej Pag One Hundred-Three Music Write-Up balanced choir. Pins were awarded to the singers but they had to qualify for them. The Glee Club is a group that is considered more of a class in voice instruction and is used to furnish talent for the Choir. The Orchestra is the largest in the history of our school, consisting of forty-two members. It has appeared at P. T. A. and various school func- tions. It went to Grand Rapids to District No. 7 Michigan Band and Orchestra Festival and served as hosts on Orchestra night for the West Shore Music Festival. The guest conductor was Mr. Fossenlcemper, mem- ber of the Detroit Symphony, and head of the Instrumental Music Depart- ment at Ypsilanti State Teachers College. Several members of the Orchestra are members of the West Shore Symphony Orchestra. Mr. Quackenbush believes that the Orchestra ranks well with orchestras of schools this size and probably has one of the most complete string sections. A recording machine was purchased and several recordings were made. The Swing Orchestra, which has several members of the high school orchestra in it, made a great showing at the Musical Revue. At first it was composed entirely of high school talent, but then more exper- ienced musicians were added, until now it really is a fine organization. By combining our local talent with some out-of-town performers, a very successful Musical Revue was put on under the direction of Mr. Quackenbush. A very large crowd attended, one of the largest to fill the auditorium. Much credit for the success of our musical organizations should be given to the Band Mothers and Orchestra Parents' clubs. They have worked hard to make money and further the interests of the Band and Orchestra. -Barbara Yonkman.

Advisory Periods This year each student was assigned a room for the Advisory Period. Here they discussed manners, their plans for the future, school spirit, and made plans for general school improvement. Several advisory groups have done a good job of sponsoring matinee dances. Mr. Odle's Junior group made a guide book for students enter- ing high school next year. Mr. Sanders and his Advisory group worked out a Lost and Found department, where books, mittens, fountain pens, and locker keys were claimed. Miss Frederick's room, in addition to spon- soring a matinee dance and pep assembly, took complete charge of a cam- paign to keep our drinking fountains clean. The Advisory Period was an experiment this year to see whether guidance groups could be successfully organized. The plan has worked very well.
