The World is still in a chaotic condition. Some of you will soon be in the Armed Forces. Some of you who had planned on going on to school to prepare for a professional career must de- fer your training. These are disappointments that come because of our being at War. I know that you will meet the challenge of the times. Also that you will find your place in the War effort and at its conclusion you will still achieve your ambition. Should you feel the need of additional training or counseling, feel free to come back to your High School for help. EARL H. BABCOCK, Superinte1zde1zt if 141 I ,, TO THE STUDENT BODY: Our experiences in the first two and one-half years of War have taught us that there is no substitute for a Well trained per- son either in the armed forces or on the home front. Our leaders, both military and civil, have said time and again the schools can contribute most to the War effort by training students in the fundamentals Your high school is the best place for you to secure this basic training. As good Americans, you people who have the chance to be in school next year are obligated to make the most of your opportunity. GLENN H. OLSEN, Principal f15l , . e. - ' ' 1 1 :.,.N.f'gj:,',, . .

Secretary to Mr. Babcock Secretary to Mr. Babcock I think that after school all day, QI guess Pd better add a groan . . The one thing that Pd like to have Is just some time to call my own. Most teachers, funrelenting souls!D Three hours of homework gently fling. Now that's all right, but don't they know Three more will do the very thing? I ask you now, what can I do, When 'cause of homework I'm in deep? It seems I just can't make it clear That sometimes even I must sleep! So why can't teachers, usually nice, fAt least, I find that is the rulel Just let up some on work at home, And let us come to school for school! i201 1 gi' ig 9 ,C ,f wifi-NS Before leaving our alma mater, We, the senior class, who constitute the class of nineteen hundred and forty-four, Wish to say farewell to all that We are leaving be- hind and to express our gratitude for the happy times We have spent together. We are not saying good-bye, but farewell 1 which means fare-thee-Well, until We meet again - and implies that the people ex- changing Words of parting are really asking each other to be careful of their health, of their Wealth, and all other things that per- tain to good living -- till they meet again. We entered our school life in a peaceful Worldg We are emerging into a War-torn one. Some of the friendships We have formed Will be broken by the conflict in the World, but the memories of the four years of our high school life will endure forever. fFareWell - fare-thee-Well., f22l 179 RQf'on mms We mcg,-, 6 f smili- kJ Oc , .Qi 5 - 'Q - --' . - Q -- 1 ..-Q 'e '- 'Q 'w.,...

Steak C361 4-genial: 01644 September 2, 1940 was our first day of high school. There were never more greener, more wide-eyed frosh than we. All of us were scared, but we liked it. Much of the awesome newness wore off, however, when the entire high school was given name placards to wear. Wfe made friends through the placards, but we made even more at the party the sophomores gave for us. During our first year, Mr. Sanders, chairman of freshmen advisors, reminded us that our class would have expenses. Heeding this advice, we held rag and metal drives that enabled us to pay our bills and establish a reserve fund. Robert Dane was our first presidentg Bob Bennett, vice president: Don Nagt- zaam, secretaryg and Gale Bolthouse, treasurer, Our student council representatives were Ralph Bolhouse and Betty Lou Heuer. In our sophomore year we gave an all school party and replenished our treasury with the proceeds of a second rag drive. December 7, 1941, marked our entrance into the war. As a result, za new interest was taken in math and science courses, and the boys began to plan their futures in one of the branches of the armed service. Bob Bennett was our class president, Betty Owens, vice president, Don Nagt- zaam, secretary, and Geraldine Duer, treasurer. The council representatives were Ralph Bolhouse, Betty Lou Heuer, john Niemazyk, Don Constant, and Bernice Olson. 1943 . . . At last we were upper classmenf' No longer were we looked upon as the young and stupid of the high school. Nearly everyone in school had a job that year, and pockets jingled with newly earned wealth. Our junior play was june Mad, starring Bernice Olson as Penny, and John Kistler as Chuck. Betty Lou Heuer was the student director. It was grand fun working on the production which drew capacity audiences both nights, XY'e also gave the Junior-Senior Prom. It was a great deal of work to sandwx ich the decoration of the gym between exams. but on the night of the Prom we knew that it had been well-worth the trouble. Our junior class officers were Gale Bolthouse, president, Bob Ducey, vice presidentg Don Naztzaam, secretary, and Don Constant, treasurer. Our student council members were Gene Westerhof, Betty Lou Heuer, and Robert Rescorla. FinaHy afux three years of 'book larninu and fun, me achieved the peak of our high school ambitions. We were SENIORSI XVatch on the Rhine, our senior play, starred Betty Owens, Ellis Kammeraad, and Betty Lou Heuer. 194-4 marked the founding of the Saturday Nite Club, under the sponsorship of Mr. Thoma. The seniors were very active in the organization of this weekly event Gene Westerhof was our president, Gunhild johnson, vice president, Don Nagtzaam, secretary, and Gale Bolthouse, treasurer. Ralph Bolhouse was elected president of the student council. The other representatives were Pauline Viening, Virginia Swartz, and Betty Lou Heuer. The junior-Senior Prom and Senior Skip Day were the last social events before the final, and the biggest event in our high school life-graduation. The juniors gave us a grand prom that we'll remember always. Senior Skip Day was fun, too. We relaxed and enjoyed our last fling before receiving our diplomas when we vvould be expected uto act our agef' XVe all take with us memories of happy events that took place throughout our four years E371 Senicvz Blau Wi!!

Many say the sophomore year in high school is the most diflicult, but you have not let this stand in your Way toward success. You still have two more years to go, but have patience, restless sophomores, and you will Hnd that the Wait was Worth while. The years you have left may seem long and dreary and never-ending at times, but We advise you to forge ahead and not to let obstacles stand in your Way. N81 QATIQN 8 Wgne.

J ' Q if 4' -rr To the freshmen Who constitute the class of nineteen hundrd and forty-seven, We, the class of '44, leave the same bit of advice that We left to the juniors and sophomores. You have a long and a rough road to travel before you will be ready to join the ranks of the alumni of Grand Haven High. We cannot foretell your destinies anymore than We can foretell our own, but be patient and someday you will reap the reward. You are inexperiencedg you may need a compass to direct you along the right paths during the coming three years. If you have patience and ambition, you Will succeed.

After we had become acquainted, we elected Jack Paterek, our class presidentg Martin Rothi, our vice presidentg Mary Harbeck, our secretaryg and jack Westerhof, our treasurer. We sold frostbites at the junior Play and conducted a collection of waste paper within the school during the winter and spring. Wfhen we see the names of freshmen on the reserve football and basketball teams, on the reporter list of the Havenite, on the membership list of many clubs, and on the honor roll each month, we feel that as a class we've made a fairly good start. 11561 c 2' . , - I , L ill ' - 1. -LJ 5 S 7. - . 1 - '- - 1 ' -ff X- e ' 4 .I M , I . , X ' Charles Anderson - june Barnes - Cleone Barnett - Robert Beckett- Don Berg Lois Blanchard - Phyllis Bogart - Don Bolling - C. nl.

Activities afford re- laxation and amusement after tedious hours of concentration. Through the many extra- curricular activities, new friendships are formed, new amusements are enjoyed. One is able to meet both teachers and fellow students on a different basis from that in the classroom. Activities teach qualities of leadership, responsibility, and cooperation that will prove very valuable as the stu- dents take their places in the world. Every- one should participate in some extra-cur- ricular activities. 11621 5, S 72 YV '--xx-A ffggfi xg -Y XS 4' ., A I.. Y , 'Q' '71 G ','f:. '.

Music studied is of the chamber music variety and is excellent for the development of tone and technique in the individual player. This is shown by the fact that there are seven players who are regular members of the West Shore Symphony Orchestra. As mem- bers of the Symphony, these students are privileged to work with such world famous musicians as Rudolph Ganz, Percy Grainger, and other great artists who appear as soloists with the Symphony.

Workiilg with a wealth of material, but plagued by injuries, the boys turned in a very creditable season. The highlights of the season were many. Knocking off Muskegon Heights was perhaps the proudest day in the Buc- caneer's season. By really turning it on in the first part of the game, the Bucs coasted to a victory. An- Qaolfdall 4041 7mm fCOIlfi71llEdJ other happy moment came in the Holland game. Turn- ing on the most spectacular and the flashiest playing ever seen by Grand Haven fans, the Bucs walloped the Dutchmen. In the other games, the Bucs didnt do so well. One thing they can be given credit for is a fight- ing spirit. lf you ask any of the other teams in the conference whom they had to fear most, they will answer, Grand Haven. Though out-scored, the Bucs were never out-fought. Con- sidering that Grand Haven plays Class A schools and is in a Class A conference, they had a very successful season.

As co- captain of the Buccaneers, Gale was one of the spark plugs of the team. With only a year's sig- nal calling experience, Gale called plays with the strategy of a professional. Wfhenever G. H. needed yardage, he was the boy who came through. DON NAGTZAAM: End-Senior. Don was one of the co-captains. Continually plagued by a head injury, Don turned in performances that were envied by many other ends in the confer- ence. This being his third year in varsity com- petition, he fell in line very nicely with Mr. Bosworth's new line of play. The Bolthouse to Nagtzaam combination was a continual threat to all opposition. GEORGE PULOS: Center-Senior. George is the second of two three year men. The play- ing of the mighty Greek in the Muskegon game was a spectacle to behold. Holding down the center job is commendable. but holding that down and keeping the team going is really a big job. George did both nicely. JOHN NIEMASZYK: Bark-Senior. johnny could really sling those passes when he didn't have amnesia Besides being a great passer, Johnny could also run from that wingback posi- tion. The highlights of quite a few of the games came when he threw long passes to either one of the ends. DON CONSTANT: Bark-Senior. Another of the injured, Don, ran off quite a few yards. The Ludington game was about his best. Al- though this was his first year out. Don made the varsity. He could always be counted on to turn in a good performance, BOB RESCORLA: Tackle-Senior. Belong- ing to the beef trust, Bob used his weight to his advantage in many games. The determination to win being always present, he opened the lines up on many of the plays. HARRY VAN OORDT: End-Senior. Though injured, Harry caught passes that looked like sure misses. With a six foot four reach and weight to back it up, he made many half backs look silly. JOHN HEUER: Tackle. I'm writing these articles. I am a senior and a two year man. RALPH BOLHOUSE: Tackle-Senior. An- other of the beef trust variety was Ralph Bol- house. In spite of this being his first year out, he turned in excellent games. In the Holland game, he had things on his side of the line just the way he wanted them. 701102 Who fn Zlaazfdall fclllliilllllfdj BOB HOOD: Center-fznlior. Holding down the center and quarterback jobs was Bob's chore. Although small, Hood was one of the scrappiest of the team. Next year the pivot position will be adequately taken care of. ETTRAL MORRIT: Tackle-Sopb. In spite of being only a sophomore, Ettral showed up well. His hard hitting and quick thinking should make him show up very well in the next two years. Ettral is a large boy and will fall in well with Mr. Bosworth's play next year. BOB HOLZINGER: Back-Senior. Although Bob was kept out of a few games because of a knee injury, he played the rest very well. He was the fastest man on the team and so gained many yards for the Bucs. JOHN VAN STRATT: Bacle -Soplf. Al- though only a sophomore this year, john saw quite a bit of action. lf he is back next year and has the same qualifications he had this year, he should really go to town. Good luck, john. LLOYD BROXVN: Glldflf--S6l1i07'. Lloyd was the smallest man on the team, but he packed an awful bigpunch. He was in on every play and was a strong man behind the forward wall. GEORGE BENNETT: Glldfd-Ill7li0l'. in his Hrst year of varsity competition, George turned in good performances, Although light, he has the punch of a two-hundred pounder. He should be the nucleus around which next year's team will be built. ART HANSON: Bark-Sopb. Though lack- ing in experience, Art never lacked the deter- mination to fight and win. Big things are ex- pected of him next year. LEN FRANCE: Gzmrd-fzuzior. Small, but oh boy! If one woke up on the ground, he knew it must have been France that hit you. Playing beautifully this year, Len should do even better next year. LA VERN BOEVE: Back-Sopb. Playing back is a job that Bones handled very well in any ball game. He should go to town next year. DON SIEFERT: Tackle-Senior. Being one of the beef trust, Don packed a lot of power, especially in the Mt. Pleasant game. In this, his only year on the varsity, he showed up well. GORDON BOELENS: End-Scfzior. Drafted from last year's second team, Gord proved that he could catch just about any pass that was thrown, era no Scoreg Ha- ffConstant venites, Run. 378 Yards From Scrlmnjage A by TED QRYQENGA Some 17 odrli G1-and Haven High :hool seniors--the .exaqt number -ing' up to Uncle Sam-:put on Ep' flnal.perfo1'n1ance in Blue Gold football toes Saturday 'ternnoh again n hapless Hole .nd elewrx an n the final gun- uilllddbbv. l B woth' -ry over ' it 'val couiityl Vals.

Buccaneers started the 1945-1944 basketball season with eight letter-men. 'Wfhen Louis Meyers was drafted and Harry Van Oordt decided not to play, the team suffered a severe loss. However, local fans still continued to say that the team was headed for a very successful season. The boys started off with a bang with three straight victories over Zeeland, Christian, and Muskegon-St. Joseph. The overtime victory over Christian was probably more outstanding than it first appeared since Christian went on to win the Grand Rapid's city championship, and then hit the semi-finals in the class B tour- nament. Later in the season our basketeers, with one victory in the tournament over God- win Heights, met Christian again but lost this time due largely to a Christian player named George XVorst. The rest of the games were played in the tough Southwestern conference. Here, the team was not so fortunate and won only two out of ten games. This record doesn't look so depress- ing when you consider that two of these losses were in overtime. The 46-23 victory over Muskegon was the best game of them all. All through this game, the team played almost faultless ball. This fact combined with our brilliant shooting proved too much for the Big Reds. Although G. H, didn't place any boys on the all conference team, the boys played the type of ball that usually wins those positions. Capt. Nagtzaam led the team in scoring with well over a hundred points and was closely followed by Don Constant. All of the members of the team will be lost through graduation except Hood, Boeve, and Van Strattg but these boys, with some of the boys from our fine reserve squad, should hold the key to a good season for 1944-1945. 7Ufm'4 who in B DON CONSTANT: Senior'-Forward. Don is one of the two three year men on the team. He has been one of the main scoring threats of the Blue and Gold all year. DON NAGTZAAM: Senior-Center. Don is the other three year man on the team. He is the nucleus around which Coach Cohrs has built his last three teams. Don, in holding down the difficult center shot, has been the leading scorer and best defensive player on the team. GENE XWESTERHOF: Senior-Guard. Gene has been one of the best defensive players on the team. His consistent good playing at guard has been a big factor in every Buc victory. GALE BOLTHOUSE: Senior-Gzmrd. Gale left football togs for basketball, and he has done right well. His calmness and clean play will be missed. BOB CASEMIER: Senior-Foruvzrrz'-Ceuter. Gump has been one of the spark plugs of the team. His spark won the Benton Harbor game. Next year's team will miss his excellent rebound playing. BOB HOOD: fzuzior-Gzmrd. Bob was pro- moted to the first team after the Muskegon game. He has done evcellent rebound work and has been the work horse of the team. He will fit in well on the 1944-45 team. LAVERNE BOEVE: Sophomore. Laverne can play any position. He is a scrapper and has made the difference between victory and defeat in many a close game. He will be returning next year, and Buc fans will be looking forward to his leading the team to a good season. JOHN VAN STRATT: Sopbomore-Forward. John is the only other sophomore on the team. He is a little inexperienced right now, but in another year, fans will, no doubt, find John one of the best players on the team. ibalf 3's'fart 'gratlwred geight ale St Vs 51.25-uxeaelve qulnrer E Beals Fo mer H C Y Xfayrslilf E1 Tou Lalmch Last Half Rall 39 to 343 All-Star y Casemiers 43 to 221.
