Thirteen VALEDICTORY At this traditional time, we are inclined to reminisce upon the past with its years of strenuous labor and constant association with teachers and students. These have been the workshop days. But now we turn our minds toward the future with eagerness and yet with a certain sadness. Tonight we perform our ultimate exercises as a class. Tomorrow we scatter as seeds from the plant, to seek fertile land in which to start. We must grow. Paradoxically, we now commence and yet say Hfarewellf' With thoughts focused on our future our motto rings true, for Before us lies the timber, Let us build? Let us not remain in the darkened timbers of ignorance. When Emerson admonishes us to hitch ourselves to a star, he wishes to impress upon us the necessity of making perfection, in all of our efforts. In short, to strive, to seek, to find and not to yield. Education must never have any definite limits. We must not allow the delicate tool of learning to grow dull. One of the best and first lessons to be learned by a pupil in life is that each day he must utilize the knowledge gained heretofore, as a foundation for his future. The timber must have a foundation on which to rest soundly, practically and securely A good start is more education, for a university training is the ordinary means to a great but ordinary end. Nevertheless, when one ceases to be a Senior, he loses 99 per cent of his pretended wisdom and begins to know that he knows nothing in comparison, and therefore must study continuously. It is our challenge to conquer. The challenge is great, never before has there been a greater need for trained leadership- 'tGod give us men! A time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands, whom the lust of office does not kill, whom the spoils of office cannot buy. who possess opinions and a will. who have honor-men who will not lie. Men Men Men Men success, we indirectly delve into a very extensive term. But But speaking of let us just say, that success is inflective. It changes as the periods of time roll onward. Success in life is like tempering a hot iron, it must be struck when the time is correct, so that the proper perfection may be secured. If a man is working eagerly at his profession, which is suitable to his capacity, he is, what is commonly known as a success. Success is a matter of activity in society. It requires a very sound imagination and judgment. The same judgment as is imperative in the timber theme of our motto for we must judge our timber carefully. Success requires courage, initiative, resolution, faith, composure, and energy to explore and conquer. Life is in itself an exploration trip through the timberf' And even though it may prove unsuccessful, it presents a paradox: Shall life succeed in that it seems to fail. What we aspired to be and were not, shall comfort us? Success is extremely diversified. In life then let us heed our old class motto of 1937, 'fBefore Us Lies the Timber, Let Us Buildf, As the recently crowned king of England dedicated his LIFE to the service of the Empire, so let US dedicate our lives to the service of MANKIND. And now to you all, our beloved friends, the Class of 1937 bids farewell. We regret our high school days are marked at an end. God speed us and keep us in our journey. Here's luck and a cheer for all that waits before us! --WAYNE W. ELLIOTT .---1.----.Y-.1--1--1.,..1..,-,.11...--....-..-.....--nn!e ! ! SALUTATORY I I Fellow Classmates, Mr. Sawdon and members of the School Board, Teachers, Parents, and Friends of the Graduating Class: g Upon this momentous occasion fraught with so much sentiment, we, the members of the graduating class of '37 bring greetings to you all. To our parents in particular because this event marks the culminations of so many hopes and dreams, : cherished for many years. The complicated organization of our school life is not unlike that of a great hotel. If we think of our school board members as the owners of the hotel and 2 our superintendent as its general manager, then the students may perhaps be thought of as the hotel guests whose needs and wishes are attended to by the hotel officials-in other words-our teachers. 2 Few people choose to live permanently in a hotel. Few students would be satis- fied with a life of endless schooling. The hotel as well as the school represents a small cross-section of life, some business men, some common laborers. A school : represents the future doctors, teachers, and merchants who have not yet realized their ambitions. There is no room for the laggard in either the hotel lobby or the I school room for in each place he will be pushed aside by the more enterprising. I There is also a constant change-new people taking the places of those who leave. Tlhey are present for only a short time, living as transients in a world of constant I c ange. 2 We are standing at the threshold of a new life. We realize that we have only taken the first steps in the journey toward a complete education, but if those first steps I have taught us to avoid so many of the pitfalls that lie in the pathway of life, we 1 have accomplished much that will make our future progress easier. Let us look for the greater and nobler things in life! I -HAZEL MASTER -6- 1 CLASS HISTORY I I In the fan of good old '33 I Books, knowledge and learning did us callg I One hundred and thirty Freshies we I Wandering up and down the hall. We chose our officers as best we could I Green and despairing there we stood. I With dear Miss Yinger as our adviser, And guided by others along the way, : We conquered those who thought they were t'wiser Being proudly victorious on Folly Day. Gramp Kingsley was Frosh and Sophomore president : And a picnic each year was the crowning event. In '35 as Juniors we came, they say To these dear old halls of learning : Although sorely defeated at Folly Day Our hearts with hope continued burning. A desire to reach this year, perfection, : Made Margery Fritz president at time of election. And then on May the twenty-third Midst penthouse, skycrapers and starlit sky : The Junior-Senior banquet was served With a program and dancing the evening flew by. On Class Night and commencement with measured tread I The stately Seniors we proudly led. Each cherished thoughts in his mind When he would be a Senior the best of his kind. 2 Then back in the fall for the very last time We proved ourselves Seniors almost divine. Kindly Miss Bassett advised and planned 1 And Abie Elliott our president too. Under their skillful, guiding hand Our victories were many and failures few. 2 And wasn't that a jolly lark The hamburger fry we had at the park? As we needed funds for the Senior yearbook 1 4' ' ' 1' ' i'i1i1'i1'iii?1'1i 1'1ii 1 1-nuinliuoin Fourteen 4' a ! L ! .

The time flew fast much to our elation And soon we had to prepare for graduation. So pictures, cards, and invitations Were sent to favorite friends and relations. To some kind person, our thanks we extend For the twenty-five dollar gift he did send. I guess we'll never forget the day Before the sun had grown real bright We celebrated the coming of May, CSome celebrated the previous night.D g Abie Elliott, our president, earned the place of valedictorian And Hazel Masters, the rank of salutatorian. And what is so rare as a day in May When studious Seniors can legally skip With nothing but fun the whole long day Each one enjoying a wonderful trip. Then very much to our elation Each received his invitation To a delightful dance and banquet rare And Juniors and Seniors in their glory were there. And then gathering in the wits of the class- Am I half right? Cjust let that pass? We turned our minds, everyone To making our Class Night full of fun. Graduation exercises came in time, And we were the proudest in all the town To be marching down the line Dignified and learned in cap and gown. With diplomas in hand and knowledge in mind We bid you adieu with the following lines. You to the left and I to the right, For the ways of men must sever- And it well may be for a day and a night, And it well may be forever. But whether we meet or whether we part CFor our ways are past our knowingb, A pledge from the heart to its fellow heart On the ways we all are going! Here's luck! For we know not whcre we are going. -By LOUISE PIEPENBURG and HELEN JEAN MARSHALL CLASS PROPHECY Alth -M ager of a sawmill. ' gl?-ziiifs Aveii3lifSecr?eItary of Ariculture of United States.

Junior Class Officers ROBERT KLINGMAN President HORTENSE CORBETT Secretary DONALD McPEEK Treasurer Representatives in Student Council Edythe Hiscock Arlene Howe Donley Boyer JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET CRUISE When our dignified Seniors walked through the Gym door, they immediately found themselves upon the deck of a large ocean liner, with midnight blue sky overhead and a half-moon looking down. The walls formed South Sea Islands and the corners were filled with palm trees. Dinner was served at once, While hundreds of tiny ships-one at each place-made of an orange slice with three tiny sails, floated on a table of White, decorated with the Senior's crimson and gold. Then came the after-dinner speeches, and the floor show. After the floor show, was dancing in the perfect setting.-The deck of a ship, a blue sky and moon above, palm trees waving their great branches in the distance, and Swing music. All this made this Junior-Senior Banquet one of the most colorful ever given in our dear G. L. H. S. E E 5 , T . T 1 1 I . T - I T, I 1 1 i E 2 T T 5 I T Z I . .

HASTINGS The Comets, as the team was nick-named, opened against Hastings and lost by the score 13-0. The team showed promise of a good year. LAKE ODESSA Lake Odessa proved to be a stubborn foe but was defeated by the close score of 6-0. ST. JOHNS The Comets reached their scoring peak against a green St. Johns team, scoring a 19-0 triumph. Every man on the squad participated in this game. CHARLOTTE Charlotte, with their usual rugged play, downed the Comets 13-0. PORTLAND Poor head-work and many penalties marred hard-fought game with Portland. Grand Ledge gained many, many yards on long runs and sustained drives, but penalties kept them from winning by more than a 6-0 score. EAST LANSING East Lansing brought a fast, heady and rugged team to Grand Ledge and humbled our team 39-0. t Leighton was East Lansing's most versatile player, scoring four of his team's touchdowns. In this game Ken Waggott received a broken leg, Doug Aldrich a broken hand and torn intercostal muscles. Ivan Maguire also injured his shoulder, which bothered him for the remainder of the season. hirty-one -n-q..n-u,.--ni-,- ,l,. -2 -E .Y 1- --..E ,E - -,-:W I I+ I 1 , I ATHLETIC WRITE-UPS CContmuedJ I EATON RAPIDS The tall and lanky ends of Eaton Rapids proved to be the undoing of the Comets to a 19-0 tune. All touchdowns were scored on forward passes. HOWELL ' Grand Ledge journeyed to Howell and scored a well-earned 13-0 victory. Carroll Harrod showed some ability as a signal-caller in this game and converted 1 a double-wing back spinner into a touchdown. ' Bob Gates shook himself loose in the fourth quarter and ran 74 yards, on the - same kind of play, for another touchdown. - 1 MASON I The Comets at last came into their own, and played their smartest and hardest - game of the year against Mason. Scoring early in the first quarter on some splendid ball-carrying by Rich Dixon, and the blocking of his team-mates, the Ledgers went on to victory. I Protecting their 7-0 lead for three quarters, Mason finally pushed across a well- earned touchdown, but failed to convert the extra roint. 2 A 7-6 victory was brought back to Grand Ledge with much rejoicing. Winning five games and losing four gave our team a winning percentage - something it has not enjoyed in many seasons. With a number of letter-winners back for next year's team, members of the Comet squad are already looking forward to an undefeated 1937 season. i BASKETBALL 1 I Grand Ledge started the season with promise of a good year, having five letter winners of last year on the squad. - a s Prospects for next year look bright with such players as Klingman, Patriquin, Blough, Barker, Hayes and Dixon of the varsity returning. 2 The second team should produce good players in Briggs, Harrod, Workinger, Kwant, Bouck, Norton, and McNutt.

Sergeant-at-Arms Mr. Smyth is the Adviser The Varsity Club is an organization composed of high school boys who have Won their varsity letters. This group was banded together within the last year and has as its cause the defraying of expenses of fellow members that have been injured during games, while competing in high school athletic contests. The money that is received from the various things that are sponsored by the club will go to help strengthen it, and its purpose. At present it is using some of the money to buy pins for the members, so as to distinguish them from the rest of the student groups. This is the Hrst club of its kind, ever to be established in Grand Ledge High School. Every member is doing his part to make the Varsity Club the best of its kind, and to win the respect of the other students of the school for the organization. Mr. Sawdon is doing all that he can to help the Club, and to make it successful. There are now twenty-two enrolled members. All the men teachers of the school are held as honorary members. + ------------------------------- in Thlrtyseven 0 l t m 6 Z C 3 E Ll l 1 o E. 1. -... -1 A 'Q . Q ...

With a splendid choice of plays this year and unusual talent in our school, there have been two meritorious productions. On the evening of November 13, The Ghost Train chugged into the gray, weird, ghostly station constructed so effectively on our stage by a talented and ambitious stage crew. Then followed two hours of screams, laughs, and gasps as this mystery play, chock-full of action, humor, and creeps, carried along with its tension a large responsive audience. The realistic sound effects produced by an ingenious crew headed by Mr. Auble, helped create a ghostly atmosphere. Each character portrayal was splendid. Neil Towner, as the silly assj' Teddy Deakin, with a mastered English accent, and Jeanette Schavey as the spinster ladyn Miss Borne, kept the audience in gales of laughter. Helen Jean Marshall and Bud Wolf, the newly-weds, gave the play just enough of the romantic element. Agnes Wells and Donley Boyer, as the married-a-year couple gave artistic performances. Don Kingsley, the old station master, carried the mystery element of the first act in commendable manner. Erma Milks as Julia, the mystery woman, made the audience share the hysteria of the situation. Ted Maris and Wayne Elliott also gave excellent portrayals in their roles of doctor and racketeer. Mort Perrin as a detective, made complete the finished work of a splendid cast. After the presentation of so entertaining a farce, the choice for a second play was difficult. With great trepidation, Little Women was chosen. Miss Yinger arranged an adaptation from the book and after several weeks of eager try-outing a splendid cast was chosen. As if they had stepped from the pages of Louisa M. Alcott's novel, the little women appeared-Margery Fritz as Meg, Jeanette Schavey as Jo, Clarabelle Toaz as Beth, and Janet Doty as Amy. Each girl fitted perfectly and artistically interpreted her part. Erma Milks gave a beautiful por- trayal of Marmee. Gerald Hover played Mr. March in admirable fashion. As likeable as the Laurie of the book, Harry Brunger carried the male lead. Don Forward made Laurie's grandfather come to life in a most artistic interpretation. Louise Piepenburg made the few lines of Hannah tell. Robert Klingman gave a convincing portrayal of John Brooke. Who is she?l' came the whispers when Aunt March hobbled onto the stage. My own folks didn't recognize me, Kathryn Meier told us later. No wonder! Changed completely in looks and manner, Katherine gave us Aunt March in professional manner. Curtis Wheaton also did a piece of diflicult, but excellent acting. As Professor Bhaer, he spoke with a German accent, made love to Jo most effectively, and sang beautifully, surprising all with his accomplishment on the piano. There were others in the play, future material for high school dramatics. Little Katherine Holt and Stanley Robinson carried off honors as the twins of Meg and John. Much should be said concerning the staging and the costuming of this play. The art work done by Mrs. Thelma White and Helen Jean Marshall was praise- worthy. The changing of scenes in two minutes by a well-trained crew, headed by Don Kingsley and Mort Perrin, is worthy of comment. The costumes created by mothers of the cast were beautiful to see. CBeth West and Margaret Van Houten made the costumes of the tWins.D The Orchestra and A Cappella choir, directed by Miss Strong, gave just the right atmosphere to the play. In short, two packed houses on the evenings of April 1 and 2 were the most enthusiastic over Little Women. Perhaps the largest single factor in the success of this year's dramatic work was the fine directing done by Miss Eleanor Yinger. Miss Yinger possesses in high degree those prime qualities of a director-patience and resourcefulness. And she has in addition the rare ability to inspire the loyal and sustained efforts of all who are associated with her. The Dramatics Club wish to tender her their thanks and their sincere appreciation. Ni.,-.,,,,,-.-.111111....,.-11,-...1...11:,i1.-11invn,n.1n E e s E e . . U .

Although less than a year old, the band bravely donned uniforms in the fall and appeared at five football games, two of which were out of town. In November a Birthday Band Program was given which was well attended. The proceeds were used to buy our first baritone. During the basketball season the band fur- nished entertainment at a number of the pep meetings and games. One of the most thrilling experiences of the year was attending the great festival at Olivet where we played with ten other bands from this section, making about four hun- dred players altogether. In the spring another program in our own auditorium was given at which the progress which this group had made was shown. The Decoration Day parade was one of the last appearances of the band this school year. A new music group was formed in November-the A Cappella Choir-which won much favorable comment singing at the Christmas music program, for Little Women, and at the Baccalaureate service. Chief among the orchestra's activities were playing for the Christmas music pro- gram, for Little Women, and performing at the spring music program. Our other music groups are the Boys' Quartet, the Girls' Sextet, and the Girls' Glee Club, whose work was also demonstrated at the spring music program given during National Music Week in May. The music department is very proud to be in possession of many fine new in- struments which the school has bought for us, and which were badly needed to make our instrumentation somewhat near the average. The new instruments are two BB flat sousaphones, two E flat basses, one double bass, two baritones, one mellophone, and three snare drums. Many seniors have been active in the different music groups this year, and we are proud to have had them working with us. Senior members of the various groups are: Band-George Althouse, Cecil Gemmell, Jack Kingsley, Ted Maris, Norva Newcomb, Curtis Wheaton. Orchestra-Bernita Gates, Cecil Gemmell, Norva Newcomb, Margaret Van Houten. A Capella Choir-Cecil Gemmell, Helen Jean Marshall, Hazel Master, Erma Milks, Norva Newcomb, Jeanette Schavey, Curtis Wheaton Girls' Sextet-Helen Jean Marshall, Hazel Master, Erma Milks, Jeanette Schavey. Boys' Quartet-Cecil Gemmell, Ted Maris, Curtis Wheaton. Girls' Glee Club-Mildred Haueter Mention must also be made of the Junior High School music classes under the capable direction of Miss Mary Daniels, who presented a splendid Christmas can- tata at the December P. T. A. meeting. The music groups have completed a useful and happy year under the direction of Miss Mary Strong, and are looking forward to ways to be of service next year. 1:4 -M,-,,,,- - -... - - - - .. - - ... - .. - -.....-....-.m-.m- - -. - - - - - - - - - arty-three Bush, C.
