That fellow does things with a gleam in his eye. The sports, the features, and also the fun- Our Bucky tackles them one by one.

He's local! He's across the page! Why he's you-He's me -Bucky's all the rage! i101 Nx ,E wdy, folks S, 1 :S 1 fi a 1 1 1 4 I 4 I g ' B mF YN?Li A' ' v ' L ADMINISTRATICN ' f- 'i- T N r Q l u? 1 i' tml l li l KL: ly vi Whoa n look- RHR ing up to him. ' MR. EARL H. BABCOCK SEN IORS : A good business man always takes an inventory at the close of each year. From this inventory he is able to determine whether his venture will show a profit or loss. What would an inventory of your four years in High School reveal? Have you increased your knowledge and appreciation of life's programs? Have you acquired skills whereby you can better solve these problems? Have you made any lasting friendships? Don't overlook the value of a friend. It may be the most valuable and most lasting thing which you have acquired. This friend maybe a teacher, a classmate, a coach, or the janitor. I hope you are rich in friends. EARL H. BABCOCK I 141 a ,., . ,W - MR. GLENN H. OLSEN SEN IORS : Life is given to us to live. Within limits you can make of it what you will. It is too short to do everything - so choose you must. In making your choices, choose nothing less than the best in books, music, recreation, and friends. These can be a great influence on you in making your life better. i151 GLENN H.

Dornbos Board of Education The Board of Education is the supreme education authority for our local school system. Its members are elected for a four year term and serve without compen- sation. The Board's chief responsibility is to operate a school system, under state law, which will minister to the needs of the local school community. It is a policy making body. The administration and carrying out of these policies are entrusted to adminis- trators and teachers. The schools are especially fortunate here in Grand Haven in having these citizens who are willing to assume the responsibility of Board Members. U63 TEKLA ANDERSON B. S.

Although not accustomed to high school life, we got down to business and showed our good judgment by electing Mr. King our class sponsor, Craig Van Zanten, presi- dent, Yvonne Fisher, vice president, Cliff Pfaff, secretary, John Kieft, treasurer, Robert Meschke and Catherine Fett, student council representatives. That was the year we broke a record -more people attended our party for the sophomores than any other party. :re -If 1 Way back when-in 1938-39-we jumped out of the freshman hopper into official rank as sophomores. As sophs we chose Miss Fredericks, sponsor, Merle Lulofs, president, Yvonne Fisher, freelectedj vice president, John Kieft, treasurer, Sally Seifert, secretary, Craig Van Zanten and Cliff Pfaff, student council representa- tives. Will you ever forget that traveling assembly from Union High School? Wow! 1411912 Way back when - in 1939-40 - we were promoted to upperclassmen. Yes, sir, we were full fledged juniors now. Boy, did we feel important! Soon after school began, we organized as a functioning body and elected Mr. King and Mr. Schaubel, sponsors, Ed Bartholomew, president, Pete Pulos, vice president, Bob Tipsword, secretary, John Pryzsucha, treasurer, Edna-Mary Jacobson, Carl Johnson, and Craig Van Zanten, student council representatives. W'ith Cliff Pfaff taking the part of Henry Aldrich and Miss Felzo directing, we wowed 'emu - and incidentally packed them in both nights of our junior play, - XVhat a Life? The sportsmen of the class were practicing hard that year to enable our class to clean up all of the honors of the '40-41 season. All but one member of the basketball team were juniors. Two big ideas were developed that year: Get- Acquainted Week and the Bum's Dance. King Windy Bergman and Queen Vonnie Fisher presided over the dance, which proved to be the hit of the year. 83624 Well, here we are - up to the present school time when we were seniors - the greatest year. This year was a Htting climax for our high school days, During 1940-41 we broke a number of customs and started a number of fashions that we hope will be kept up by the classes which follow us. We started our campaign when we elected class officers. Instead of choosing a football player for president, we chose Robert Meschke, a lad prominent in extra- curricular affairs. We established a precedent fwhich even President Roosevelt fol- lowed, when we elected Yvonne Fisher vice president for a third term. Les Ennenga was elected secretary, Sally Seifert, treasurer, Howard Zuidema, Neil Vander Noot, and Peter DeWitt, student council representatives. The senior play, Pride and Prejudice, was a huge success, the Christmas Alumni Party for the Class of '40 was another unforgettable event. Our Prom and Skating Party were also well attended. Our basketball team: Gerry Zeeman, John Vyn, Dud Nedervelt, Waggy Wagenmaker, Howie Zuidema, and Bob Tripp, with the aid of Bill Viening, jr., took the Western Michigan Conference crown. We also inaugur- ated snake dances and a huge bonfire and sing last fall -which greatly aided our school spirit-ually. We should like to thank Miss Hurst and Mr. Odle, sponsors, Miss Felzo, di- rector of Pride and Prejudice , Miss Covert, Miss Dykhuisen, and Miss Butler for their help on the annual, and Miss Bell and Mr. Thoma for their helpful little hints. As we look back, we can't help but feel that the Class of '41 will be long re- membered for its accomplishments. i401 Class Will Betty Anderson, leave my typing ability to any willing student.

Sal Bob Von lack H31 ill IW Wil fltiliffllltl -Q .---K K-l K XMASI-IINGTQN, D. C., THURSDAY, JUNE 14, 1951 Price 5 Cents wt IN!XbtGtll-itil ni ROBERT The day is over. The new Presi- dent of the United States and Brit- ish Allied Countries took office this morning, followed by the most stu- pendous and colorful reception ever held in the White House, The Presiden't's personal secre- tary, Margaret Ann DeWitt, and your ownfeature writer, Bob Tripp, have covered this event from dawn to its joyous end tonight. Miss De VVitt, as you should know, writes that column, Margaret Muses, every day for the New York Sun, along with her other work as the right hand of the President. The world is at peace. The United States and Great Bri- tain, as the English-speaking peo- ples, have given to every country its freedom. To each also protec- tion for its ports. Armies and nav- ies are disbanded, we, and we alone, control the seas. After World 'War II, this calm and glad feeling is recognized as the only one we shall ever knowg and today we opened our hearts and homes that all might be here to share in this inaugur- ation. All peoples sent their chief execu- tives or ambassadors to the finale, to be received and made to feel a part of this great scheme. The builders, the brains, the helpers of our own country were there also. Of all that happened we shall try to tell you. Party Returns to White House After the solemn words of the inauguration were said, President Robert Meschke returned to the White House, talking and smiling with his two body-guards, Sherman Ver Plank, and Patil Van Gordt. They were greeted on the steps by Doris Vogel, snapping all pictures today for the Washington Ameri- cana. TRIPP and MARGARET DE WITT Once inside the portals, Miss Sylvia Breitels, with her customary bright smile, took the President to his personal party: Vice President, Yvonne Fishery Secretary, Leslie Ennengag Lois Eustace and Donald Moll. This group moved to the gold piano in the East Room, there to stand and wait for the presenta- tions and entertainment. During this pause, Catherine Fett and Richard Klotz played the ac- companiment while Dorothy Hol- man and Dorothy Brosseit sang All For One. CLyrics and music for this new song are by Teaphel McMahon.J Suddenly the room reverberated as the National Band, under the di- rection of Clifford Pfatf, rang out with The Blue and the Gold, a gesture to the President for his days at Grand Haven High. The band tuned to a lower pitch as Simon Peterson stepped forward to sound Assembly . . . and the wide doors opened upon the emissaries from the countries which were called foreign before this year of peace. Representatives Wisely Chosen England advanced first, which is only proper as she is our ally and sister country. England had chosen wisely her representatives: Ruth Kasperson, Patty Eskew and Vir- ginia Pahler, escorted by Robert Van Woerkom, Wayne Young, and Neil Vander Noot. These people spend so much time traveling on the Clipper ship between here and London' that they are familiar to all America. In the order given, these various countries sent their ambassadors and noted people, extending hands and greetings. From China-John Kieft, head of f44 l all oil industries thereg jean Emens, able correspondent for the Chicago Tribune, Patricia Koopman, head of all food supply for Chinag Ed Ver Berkmoes, leader with Madame Chiang Kai-shek of the Christian religion. China would not enjoy the financial success she does, were it not for the genius of Gertrude Moll. Miiss Moll carefully dresses in the colors of her adopted country, a nice gesture on her part. Then Greece. Pete Pulos, with his own secretary, Marian Andros. Mr. Pulos had with him his cabi- net from Athens: Kathleen Wash- am, Don VVelling, Charles W. Wid- man, and Sidney Shaver. Mr. Shaver has just completed the sup- ervision of the thru-way from Athens to Berlin, a real engineer- ing feat. Fashion Leader Comes From France Following came France, repre- sented by a girl whom we all knew would again make Paris the Fash- ion Center of the world: Margaret Van Leeuwen. Miss Van Leeuwen was striking in a tri-colored gown fthe colors of the old French Re- public.j She presented cards of her Cabinet, who were unable to arrive in time for the celebration because they were still on the Clipper. This party: Kathryn Kinsey, Mary Lou Tufts, Don De Bruyn, and Eileen Kieft. Sweden's emissaries, Edna-Mary Jacobson and Carl johnson, have done well. President Meschke laughingly gave them both hands with a special word which they alone heard. Miss Jacobson remind- ed the President that Sweden could not at this time spare Wallace Klempel, Chairman of Engineer- ing, they were also forced to leave behind Robert Skwark, Chairman THE VVASHINGTON AMERICANA of Electricity. The President en- deavored to conceal his disappoint- ment and accepted their credentials, turning to welcome Robert Yager from Mexico, William Swier from Argentina, Grace Barden from Panama, and Stuart De VVitt from Brazil. Each one in this Pan- American group had a small native gift for President Meschke. Russia took somewhat longer as Ambassadoress Harriet Peck was accompanied by William Beihl, Financial Headg Marian Vander Molen, T-lead of al-l-Child .Educa- tiong Robert Bowen, Chairman of Engineeringg Jack Graham, In- structor of Physics in the Moscow Universityg and, last but not least, Leon Ruiter, Co-ordinator of Foods and Drugs. It was magnificent to see the excitement this group caused-Russia free and independ- entl Japan came in close behind, a smaller, but still impressive group. Cornelia Klouw presented a tiny purse from her Consolidated Churches of the Orient. Her co- workers were introduced as Betty Rosema, Ethel Machek, Mildred Reenders, Edna Parchert, Judith Smith, and Alice Scott. These wo- men have endeared themselves to all the people of the Far East. Their shining lives are retiected in their smiles. Germany's Group is Largest By far the largest group now moved forward, the body from Ger- many. lt is right that they should be named in order, as you will read these names more and more from now on. Germany headed her delegation with John Szymas, Chairman of Labor: Jane Van Herwynen, repre- sentative of all women's groups: and Charles Holzinger, Chairman of Engineers, with his aides, Clif- ford Van Burgel, Morton Jacobs, and Maude Spencer. John Vyn came next with his personal secre- tary, Genevieve Cook. Mr. Vyn is in charge of all news syndicates in Europe for the New York Sun. Germany outdid herself in plan- ning the Olympic Games for Ber- lin. She had a few of her feature players to present at this time: Bob Tipsvvord, Dudlev Nedervelt, Jack Robinson, and Howard Zuidemag and the lovely women, not only famous in sports but holding key positions in health, education, and women's groups: Margaret Roos- sien, Ruth VanderZwaag, Margaret Klintworth, Betty Beekman, Elean- or Hinkle, Dolores Van Hall, and the star of European stage and screen, Virginia Draa. From the land of the Midnight Sun - Norway - Stuart McMillan reported with Betty Kieft, Mildred Hascher, and Betty Jeanne Ander- song Denmark, with Elsie Bramer and Bertha Hodalg while The Netherlands sent Willine Friet- chen, Robert Ennenga, Betty De Graff, Betty Brosseit, Lorraine Van Beukering, and Harlan Hocken- braugh, all bearing tiny tulip plants aH woodeihoes. TlTese meimTers moved on to find seats for the main entertainment. VVhile small groups were standing around conversing, Peter Kemme rang the huge silver gong, the signal for the various branches of the United States bod- ies to be presented. Nation's Leaders Are Outstanding Slowly Jack Sweeney advanced nrst, as Chairman of all Political Parties, Hanked on each side by F. B. I. men Gerald Zeeman and Craig Van Zanten. Holding a position of reknown for his ability in dispers-. ing subversive activities, Mr. Van Zanten also is well known for his pen and ink sketches and carica- tures that appear daily in the St. Louis Globe, Democrat paper. Next came the Chief Draftsman of the Nation, Peter De VVitt, who has just completed the Housing Plan on the West Coast. He was accom- panied by his staff: Louis Kossuth, Raymond Arend, and Mike Hro- metz. Representatives of the Bureau of Engraving and the Bureau of Li- braries came together, Ruth and Esther VViegerink and Pearl Rance for the former, and Sarah Jane Bennett, Betty Fett, Lois Nietering, and Helen Rose for the latter. The Pure Food and Drug Asso- ciation has able Thomas Koetsier at the head. This is a huge under- taking as the work includes super- vision of all Army and Navy sup- plies. Mr. Koetsier has chosen his staff well: General Don Rosso, Colonel John Meilinger, Lt. Col. George Wills, Major L. D. Smith, and Major Robert Schmitt. In the civilian branch of the Food and Drug unit we find Minnie Schouten, Marion Sheffield, Margaret Kieft, Dolores Borchers, Betty Conner, and Agnes Brown. The educational system now used here is the finest ever known, and the President has made appoint- ments to this group that prove his E451 insight in the field of learning. The Chief of Staff for all public schools is none other than our own Shirley Tinholt, a scholar if there ever was one. Miss Tinholt conferred a new degree upon President Meschke, C. C. of S. CChief Commander of Schools.J She was followed by her cohorts: Avis Van Bemelen, his- tory, Bob Van Horssen, dramatic artsg Anthonia Kadlec, home eco- nomics: Evelyn Vander Zwaag, languageg Arlene Beekman and Herbert Van Burgel, English: Ade- line Karwacki, short story writingg DOHfV3H Bemmelen, arts and deco- rations, Cliff Walsh, paintings and art appreciation, CMr. VValsh pre- sented the President with a minia- ture of the White Housej Varied Entertainment Furnished The band played softly at this point, and Peter Kemme again rang the gong, the signal that the show would start. All found seats and waited-but not for long. Almost at once the curtains opened to ad- mit Carol Baughn, internationally famous for her pantomimes. Miss Baughn always dresses faultlesslyg she is gowned exclusively by Ber- nice Holziuger, originator of Fash- ions First. Miss Holzinger's un- ufual designs are the criterion of a l. The applause had hardly died when the Seven Sisters entered to put on their famous play, National News, the record-breaking comedy that has had a three-year run on Broadway. Miss Sally Seifert di- rects and manages her sisters in this play, and each one was dressed in the colors of the various coun- tries represented there. VVe recog- nized the sisters as Margaret Schultz, Alice Brook, Mariorie Arend, Evelyn Cook, Dolores Fish- er, Amy Bolles, and Helyn En- nenga. The excerpt from their play was followed by the intricate tap- dancing of Una Mae Michael. Helene Daane, Patricia Bissell, Betty Beernink, Beatrice Cordes, and Laraine Cook followed, singing the new song, Poppies of Peace, accompanied by John Gronevelt bearing replicas of the Flags of the Nations in his arms. The band be- gan The Star Spangled Banner and every voice-we mean every- one-joined in the impressive finale of song. This scene will be etched in the memory of all there. and the thought that so many of us spent our high school days togetheg too, made it magnificent and sublime. gl fi N57 j f x, 1' , , xl 1 EM wp UNIO Qs L9 Lg!

This year membership was determined in three ways: by tryout, by the number of times a person had appeared in the class plays, and by the work a person had done backstage. The meetings were held every third Tuesday, and special meetings were called when necessary. The club presented several programs for the Woman's Club. A successful year was closed with the election of new officers. W'e sin- cerely hope that next year will prove to be as successful as this year has. OFFICERS President - ---- Robert Meschke Vice-president - - Peggy Wilson Secretary and Treasurer - Sylvia Breitels Faculty Adviser - - - Miss Felzo i653 Senior Play Flushed with the success of their Junior Play, What a Life, the Class of '41 attempted a more difficult production for their Senior Play. They chose Pride and Prejudice,', an old-fashioned comedy in three acts, written by Jane Austen. This play, presented on November 7 and 8, related the troubles with which an English mother is confronted when she attempts to arrange the betrothal of her three lovely daughters. Mr. Collins, Mrs. Bennet, and Lydia Bennet were the chief sources of humor. Miss Felzo was assisted by Margaret Ann De Witt as student director. Because of excellent acting and directing, the production drew a capacity crowd.

This year, for the first time, each pupil was given a chance to make a solo recording of his voice. During the past year, the choir provided music for evening services of the First Reformed Church of Spring Lake and the Second Reformed Church of Grand Haven, for P. T. A. programs and the Tuesday Musical, and took part in the West Shore Festival at Muskegon. At Christmas, it broadcast a program in cooperation with the junior Chamber of Commerce. During National Music Week, it presented The Rose Maiden by Cowen, with guest soloist and or- chestra accompaniment. At the end of the year, awards were given to those members who qualified for them. OFFICERS President - - - - Teaphel McMahon Vice Presideni - Donald Nagtzaam Secretary - - Dorothy Brosseit Treasurer - - Dick Klotz T683 High School Orchestra The orchestra, composed of 46 members, competed in the District Festival at North Muskegon, in the State Festival at Lansing, and attended the May Festival at Muskegon Heights. Besides playing for assemblies, school activities, and outside organizations, they accompanied the choir in presenting Rose Maiden by Cowen. At the end of each year, awards are given to the members of the orchestra. The most valuable senior member is presented with a gold key. If there is no outstanding senior, the award is not presented. OFFICERS President - - - - Gordon Collins Vice President - - Doris johnson Business Manager - - Dean Misner Secretary and Treasurer - - Marilyn Mead If69l The Band Under the leadership of Mr. Holloway, the band completed a tough sche- dule of both marching and concert work. During the first semester, the band was active with presentations at the football games. At the same time, the band was participating in many political parades, on non-partisan basis. During the year, the band gave three full assemblies and two concerts. They also participated in the District Festival at North Muskegon where they received a third division rating. Participation in the West Shore Festival com- pleted an active concert season. We feel that the band was given that certain touch of class by a special group of majorettes, who added glamor to the affairs with their exotic move- ments.

Holloway The Band Club was organized in january, 1940, by two members of the high school band, Perry DeLille and Harold Fisher. The club did not do very much that season, but plans were made for the next year's club. The second year of the band club has been successful. We adopted a constitu- tion, drawn up by Mr. Holloway, at the beginning of the year. In October 1940, we had a Ha1lowe'en party at which time cider and doughnuts were served from the money we received in club dues. In March, the club sponsored an assembly in which the high school choir and band took part. The organization is independent of the band.

On Christmas, we brought gifts for poor children. We opened the year with a pot-luck dinner. During the year, we had a Christ- mas party, a sleigh ride, and learned to square dance. In February we sponsored a patriotic dance. We closed the year in customary fashion-by a picnic.

This group includes the following: Marion Shoemaker, jack Harper, Dorothy Kuhnle, Leta Owens, Lois Austin, Lois Nyland, jim Bosma, Dick Lasko, james Blok, and Joe Schornagle. f79l The Discussion Club The Discussion Club was organized for' students interested in studying the problems of the World. It is a very informal organization in which no officers are elected and no roll is taken. The discussions are under the excellent guidance of Miss Bell and Miss Hurst. This year the Discussion Club has been very fortunate in having some unusual speakers. The members thoroughly enjoyed a talk by Mr. Wolf, who has visited South America several timesg a talk by Miss Randalls on her experiences in Mexicog and an informal discussion with Mr. McCall and Mr. Schaafsma from the Grand Haven Tribune.

The Buccaneers did well against fellow class B schools, but they could not match the powers of the larger ones. Many of tl1e regulars will be back next year, and we are looking iforward to a great team in 1041 Grand Grand Grand Grand Grand Grand Grand Grand Grand Haven Haven Haven Haven Haven Haven Haven Haven Haven SCORES i841 Ludington Three Rivers Muskegon Kalamazoo Benton Harbor Muskegon Heights Ottawa Hills St. joseph Holland GRAND HAVEN 6 - LUDINGTON 0 Grand Haven opened her 1940 schedule by playing Ludington under lights at Ludington's fine field. The first half was a see-saw punting battle with neither team getting anywhere on the offensive. In the second half, however, Grand Haven opened her attack and scored on a pass from Skendrovic to Bergman. The attempt was missed, and the score remained 6-0 after the Buccaneers had successfully stopped several thrusts by the Ludington team. Lulofs and Skendrovic in the backfield, and Berg- man and Captain Duer in the line were outstanding for Grand Haven. g W gg GRAND HAVEN 18-THREE RIVERS 0 An air-minded Grand Haven team had no difficulty in downing Three Rivers on the Grand Haven field after Lulofs had passed to Bergman on the two yard line. Lulofs went over for the first touchdown. The second scoring came on an 80-yard march with Bergman throw- ing passes and Lulofs, Zuidema, and Skendrovic crush- ing the line. Lulofs finally went over again. After Berg- man had taken a forty yard pass from Skendrovic, Sken- drovic went four yards for the last counter. The nearest Three Rivers came to scoring was when Captain Sloan intercepted a pass and ran to the one-yard line. There the Grand Haven line held. a 'Q ft ft, C851 GRAND HAVEN 0-MUSKEGON 6 After getting six first downs to Muskegon's one, Grand Haven finally lost out to the Big Reds, who made good their one drive. A quick kick by For- ton, which went out o'f bounds on the Buccaneers' 3-yard line, set up the Muskegon score. A high- light of the game came when Finny Hale of Grand Haven made a kick which was good for 70 yards. Bergman's uncanny passes again thrilled the crowd. Pat McFadden, Ed Johnson, and Captain Duer showed up well on defense. GRAND HAVEN 6 - KALAMAZOO 7 After outplaying Kalamazoo during most of the game, Grand Haven came out on the short end of a 7-6 score. Kalamazoo scored in the first seven minutes with Miller and Kistler toting the ball. From then on it was Grand Haven's game. The Buccaneers made 18 first downs to Kalamazoois 8. After a 61-yard march, Lulofs scored from the 3- yard line. In the fourth period Grand Haven made another drive but was stopped on the 9-yard line. Lulofs and Norm Skendrovic played good games. 11861 GRAND HAVEN 0 - BENTON HARBOR 19 Grand I-laven's next opponent was the strong Benton Harbor team. Although Benton Harbor won 19-0, the game was much closer than the score would indicate. Four times the Buccaneers were stopped deep in enemy territory. The outstanding play of the game was the 85-yard runback on an intercepted pass, Buckner of Benton Harbor did the running. Grand Haven's passing, Lulofs and Skendrovic to Bergman and Zuidema, proved very successful and was constantly a threat to the other team. Throughout the game, Bergman caught many seemingly impossible passes. GRAND HAVEN O - MUSKEGON HEIGHTS 18 The great advantage in weight and power of Heights' Tigers was too much for the Bucks, and they went down on the small end of an 18-0 score. The pass com- bination of Mortenson to Smith and the line bucking of Hendricks were more than 'Grand HHV-Efl could hRdle. OuEanding fETGrand EEven wer?Zuidema Ed Lulofs in the backlieldg and Duer, Bergman, and Verplank in the line. Veining also did some nice punting for Grand Haven. GRAND HAVEN 14 - OTTAWA HILLS 13 In a very close game, Grand Haven came from behind twice to beat Grand Rapids' Ottawa 14-13. In the first minute of play, Grant of Ottawa ran back a punt 75 yards to score for Ottawa. Before the first quarter ended, however, Sken- drovic went over from the 2-yard line after he had recovered a fumble on the Ottawa 55-yard line. Lulofs then plunged over for the winning point after Ottawa had scored her second touchdown by passing. Grand Haven found a weak spot in the Ottawa line which paved the way to a touchdown. Skendrovic went over. GRAND HAVEN 0-ST. JOSEPH 16 Grand Haven was defeated at St. Joe under lights, mainly because St. joseph cashed in on many breaks. Many times after a Grand Haven drive had gotten under way, a fumble stopped it. An intercepted pass, a poor kick, and a lield goal set up the St. joseph score. Several times Lulofs and Skendrovic looked good on long gains, but each time a fumble or an intercepted pass ended the threat. Bergman played well on the line 'for Grand Haven. . I GRAND HAVEN 6 - HOLLAND 19 - The football season ended with Grand I-Iaven's los- ing to Holland in the annual Ottawa County Cham- pionship with a 55-mile-an-hour wind hampering play. A rejuvenated Holland team played an intelligent game and won on their own field. Grand Haven's score came when Verplank blocked a punt on the Holland 20-yard line and recovered it in the end zone.

This years Reserves, as the above scores indicate, had momentary lapses in their defense. However, considering the season as a whole and the lack of experience in football, the boys earned a lot of credit and respect from fans and opponents alike. Outstanding in the work of the team throughout the season were: Bob Bennett, captain and a good smashing fullback and line backer, Don Nagtzaam, a good heady quarterback and accurate passer, Paul De Witt, halfbackg John Pelton, a hard-hitting tackler and line backerg Jim Wessel, tackle, Walter Bruhn, tackleg and Gale Bolt- house, a long, accurate punter and a good pass receiver.

As this conference is made up of all class A schools except Grand Haven, this was quite an accomplishment. Grand Haven easily took the District Class B Title and was slated to go far in the state tournament. In the first regional game, however, Grand Haven couldn't get started and was upset in an overtime game with Manistee by the score of 26-22. At a meeting of the sports writers of the conference, Grand Haven was honored by being voted unanimously as having the best pair of guards in the conference. Grand Haven also placed three men on the all conference team: Veining as forward, Zeeman as guard, and Vyn was given honorable mention. Every Grand Haven player had his name on some coach's list, but these three stood out. GRAND HAVEN 28 - CRESTON 23 Grand Haven opened the basketball season this year in an impressive way by beating G. R. Creston 28-25. Substituting a great deal in order to see what the boys could do, Coach Cohrs discovered that he had several fine players. Zuidema made 7 pointsg and Veining, Tripp, and Wagenmaker made 6 each. Vyn and Zeeman also showed up well at guard, blocking many shots, GRAND HAVEN 33 - GRAND RAPIDS CHRISTIAN 22 Grand Haven won a decisive victory over Grand Rapids Christian in the second game of the year. The score was 33-22. After Christian had taken an early lead, the Buccaneers hit their stride, and the Grand Rapids City Champs were easily overtaken. Veining, with 12 points, and Zuidema, with 11 points, led the scoring for Grand Haven. GRAND HAVEN 24 - BIG RAPIDS 20 After trailing most of the game, Grand Haven finally won out over a surpris- ingly strong Big Rapids team 24-20. The Buccaneers just couldn't seem to get started, but, as Veining pumped in 11 points in the last half, they finally came out on top. f90l GRAND HAVEN 57-ZEELAND 19 After being scared by Big Rapids, Grand Haven took no chances in beating Zeeland by a 37-19 score, After a close first quarter, the Buccaneers stepped out into the lead and were never seriously threatened. Veining again led the scoring with 12 points and was ably assisted by Tripp's and Zuidema's 8 and 6 points respectively. ' GRAND HAVEN 26 - KALAMAZOO 20 Playing their first conference game, Grand Haven won its fifth consecutive vic- tory by beating Kalamazoo Central, 26-20. Led by Captain Veining, who scored 12 points, 8 of them on free throws, the Buccaneers rolled up a large early lead, and Kazoo was never within 5 points of Grand Haven. GRAND HAVEN 24--MUSKEGON HEIGHTS 25 In a hair-raising game Grand Haven lost to the Muskegon Heights Tigers, last yearis conference champs, with a score 25-24. After holding an 18-10 lead mid-way in the third quarter, the Buccaneers bogged down, and the Heights won on a free throw in the closing seconds of the game. Vyn made 8 points. Zeemanls playing at guard was outstanding. GRAND HAVEN 28 -HOLLAND 51 Grand Haven, hampered by sickness, lost its second game with Holland, 51-28. In the close, rough game, Grand Haven couldn't hit the basket when they needed points, consequently we lost to the underdog Holland team. Veining made 8 points, and Wfagenmaker made 6. GRAND HAVEN 40- BENTON HARBOR 54 Grand Haven proved they were back in form by beating a strong Benton Harbor team, 40-54. The Havenites, by pouring shots into the basket from all points on the floor, established a 16-7 lead in the first quarter. At the beginning of the second half, the score was 24 all. Grand Haven then went to work and scored 6 points in about 30 seconds, after that Benton Harbor could not touch the Cohrsmen. Veining led the scoring with 15 points. Tripp and Zuidema made 8 points each and Zeeman made 6. The defense playing of Vyn and Zeeman was very good. C911 GRAND HAVEN 29 - MUSKEGON 26 Grand Haven's next game was with the Muskegon Big Reds on Grand Haven's floor, The Buccaneers, who were slow at getting started, trailed 7-1 at the end of the first quarter. However, mid-way in the fourth quarter, due to the fine work of Tripp and Veining who scored 10 and 8 points respectively, Grand Haven took the lead which they held for the rest of the game. Vyn and Zeeman, as always, played well at guard. GRAND HAVEN 33 - KALAMAZOO 22 After a slow start, the Buccaneers defeated the Maroon Giants of Kalamazoo by a score of 35-22. This game gave Grand Haven 4 wins against 2 defeats in the strong Southwest conference league. Zuidema and Veining tied for high scoring honors with 10 points apiece. GRAND HAVEN 23 -MUSKEGON HEIGHTS 24 QOvertimej With Tripp and Veining our of the game because of injuries, Grand Haven lost to a strong Muskegon Heights team in a wild, overtime game by a score of 24-23. The scores were never more than 3 points apart at any time, and at the end of the game the score was 21 all, thus necessitating an overtime. In the overtime, Muskegon Heights made 1 basket and 1 free throw against 2 free throws of Grand Haven. Wfagenmaker made 7 points of the 25. Zeeman played well on defense. GRAND HAVEN 47 - HOLLAND 28 Playing their final home game, the Buccaneers easily defeated Holland by a 47- 28 score. It seemed as though the substitutes could score points at will. It was in this game that Dud Nedervelt proved his worth by scoring 14 points. Although Bill Veining was in only half a game, he scored 11 points. T921 GRAND HAVEN 25 - BENTON HARBOR 51 Although playing a fast Benton Harbor team, Grand Haven was never more than 2 points behind until the fourth quarter when Benton Harbor scored several quick points, which helped them win the game. It was the outstanding playing of Vyn and Zeeman at guard which kept Grand Haven in the running. GRAND HAVEN 30-MUSKEGON 26 This game will long be remembered because it is the first time Grand Haven has ever beaten Muskegon High on Muskcgon's floor. It was in the second quarter that Grand Haven took the lead, and from there on Muskegon could not catch up with the Buccaneers, The shots were made from all over the floor. Veining played a good game, making 15 of the 30 points. Vyn and Zeeman played bang up games at guard. DISTRICT TOURNAMENT GRAND HAVEN 23 - ZEELAND 10 After taking a 10-0 lead at the end of the first quarter, Grand Haven defeated the Zeeland chicks 23-10 in what was considered one of the easiest games of the year. Vyn made the first basket and ended as high man with 6 points, Nedervelt was not far behind with 5. REGIONAL TOURNAMENT GRAND HAVEN 22 - MANISTEE 26 fovertimej Going into what was thought to be a pushover game, Grand Haven was elimi- nated from the Regional Tournament in an overtime upset by Manistee. The Buc- caneers were slow to get started in the first half and trailed by a score of 8-2. How- ever, in the last half, Grand Haven scored the 20 points which tied the score at 22 at the end of the game. In the overtime Manistee made two baskets while Grand Haven made none. This was the last game for Vyn, Zuidema, Tripp, Nedervelt, Wagenmaker, and DeWitt, but Veining, Yonker, and Rescorla will be available next year.

FEBRUARY 22 - George Washington was born to- day, So a dance was in the air. Our paqiotic feelings soaredg It rea ly was quite rare! ,gft 5- MARCH 13 and 14- Stage Door, a play about Broad- Way, Came to Grand Haven High. It had the usual two-night rung It was swell-and that's no lie. MARCH 17 - Crime doesn't pay, in the as- sembly, We heard the captain shout. 'Cause the lie detector'll get you, If you don't watch out! MARCH 21 - Spring is sprung, The grass is rizz. I wonder where The robins is! MARCH 26- Miss Tower's class in Personal Regime Gave a lovely Senior tea. Besides the eats, there was music, too, It was nice as it could be. MARCH 26 - Oh day of woe and misery, The Senior write-ups met their doom, But Miss Covert's and Miss But- ler's help Chased away the gloom. APRIL 1- Everyone was so surprised With the Annual Board at school. We had a circus in the gym, And that's no April Fool! APRIL 4 - The Barn was packed with people tonightg The Havenite put on the show. What we suffered afterwards, Oh gee, you'll never know! APRIL 25 - i The BUl'11,S Ball came again this year, With a darling king and queen. Some of the outfits at the dance, The like you've never seen. JUNE 7 -- We Seniors are on our way out, The days are going fast. The junior-Senior Prom tonight, Was for us the last. JUNE 12 - Four years for most, and more for some, Have, oh, so quickly gone. Now comes the Seniors' day of daze, They're old grads from now on. Books and lessons all forgot, Hooray, hooray, we're free! Twelve whole weeks of summer fun, That's the life for me! lf l Knew Then What l Know Now TOP PICTURE-Alice Brook, Helen Rose, Sally Seifert, Lois Nietering, Marian Sickman, Judy Smith, Patty Eskew, Bernice Holzinger, Jean Mitchell, Sylvia Breitels.

Here are manufactured soda fountains, ice cream freezers, ice cream cabinets and frosted food cabinets. The Bastian-Blessing Company was organ- ized just 55 years ago with a personnel of less than 50. By adhering to a high standard of quality, modern manufacturing methods and fairness to customers and employees, the company has had a steady growth until today there are over 900 employees on its payroll in both plants. just as our company has had an oppor- tunity to grow in this free country of ours, so each one of you will have the same oppor- tunity as you are starting in your own chosen field of activity. By all means, be men and women of high principles, May this free nation of ours remain a free country for centuries to come. 9-1 Gd- X.. Q55 3-470 Q' eg E47 SW' ' E-. - Su?
