The club has originated from the Student Government system of the school. The Monitors act as policemen in the school because our Student Body is so large that it is necessary to have trafiic laws. these being enforced by the Monitors. The Monitors engaged in several trips and programs during the spring. 1 IVIONITORS CLUB lfirst lion' Nl. llrown, N. 'l'hnmais. ll. Marlin, .l. I-zilnlvle.

The Legislative Assembly One of the most important branches of Grand Ledge High Schoo1's present system of student government is the Legislative Assembly. It is in this legislative body that all bills for rules of conduct and other necessary regulations are originated. Since this year saw the introduction of a brand new constitution and an original system of government designed by the students themselves, the Legislative Assembly found itself faced with a huge task. However. in a few weeks the legislature had things well under control. They had passed bills regarding hall conduct, conduct in the gym. and in the cafeteria, a system of rules for tardiness and absences, and other necessary regulations. Our Legislative Body is unusual in that it is unicam- eral. Two members are elected from the required sections of each class, giving a total of thirty-four representatives. Mrs. Piepenburg, Miss Chase, Mr. Bollinger, and Miss Fuller served as advisers to the Legislature. Edwin Green, the vice-president of the cabinet. was Speaker of the House.

One from each class and three teachers chosen by the Legislature. It calls its meetings once a week, usually on Tuesday. The members this year are as follows: Jerry Anderson has held the position of Chief Justice, and Mary Scott, that of Clerk. The fol- lowing were justices: Lois Burley, Mary Heath Brainard, Weldon Faull, Floyd Figg, and Mary Lou Nott. The chief purpose of their meetings is to try cases arrested by the Monitors and sentence them. Upon a third indictment for the same charge a person is sent to the Supreme Court. This Court consists of five elected members. Three are from the Senior Class, and two from the Junior Class. The three senior members are John Fitzgerald, Robert Shearer, and Kendall Smith, The junior members are Robert Cain and Ladd Hamilton. Together with Mr. Sawdon they deal with cases beyond control of the Law Court. We feel that our court system has been very successful this year. Student Cabinet OFFICERS Presimlent - ---- Edwaril Ilnuck Vice-President ---- lflilwin Green Secretary - - Ili-tty Niles Treasurer ------ .lo Ann 'llmz The Student Cabinet consists of a repre- sentative group of students from the various classes. The Student Cabinet with The Legisla- tive Assembly, the Court, and Monitor system ac- complished much in furthering our Student Gov- ernment. Edward Bouck was elected President of the school and Edwin Green was elected Vice-Presi' dent, thus, he was automatically the speaker of the Legislative Assembly. The Cabinet this year has made no attempt whatsoever to make money as has been the cus- tom in the past. Our chief aim was to get the Student Government going in full swing. We also made the calendar for the school year. The Student Cabinet wishes to thank the student body, Mr. Sawdon, and faculty for help- ing carry on the system of Student Self-Govern- ment. - Calendar of Events - ---iii?

A. is composed of boys who have completed one semester of ninth grade shop. The boys have their meetings en Monday nights, but due to the fact that the Navy has called on us to make model airplanes we also meet on Wednesdays and Thursdays. During the ycar we have sponsored a dance and have been swimming several timesg we also had several pot- luck slippers, at one of which we had initiation. We think that our success is due to Mr. Faull who is so willing to help us at all times. F. C. A. 'll in How li. I'n-nfin-lil. R llouuli. S. IH-ters, l . Dany t--ii.

Higgs, Ledge Newspaper Staff This year's Ledge with John Fitzgerald as editor, has striven to achieve real journalistic principles and techniques. Twice this year, the Ledge staff has put out the largest Ledge ever published during it's fifteen-year existence - a feat accomplished only by close cooperation by the whole staff. During the entire year, over 400 separate articles were published. The eventful year of 1941-'42 has given re- porters on the Ledge chances for varied types of reporting, ranging from theatrical criticisms and reviews to accounts of air-raid drills and Civilian Defense activities. all of which serve to give students a broad foundation in journalism if they intend to continue in this line of endeavor. Studies of papers issued by other schools have given varied ideas to reporters and a delega- tion attended the Michigan State College high school newspaper clinic in the fall to discuss prob- lems with high school groups from all over the state. In all. it has been a very successful year for the stall' and has been a good experience for all of us. Librarians OFFICERS President ----- lizirbnra Rm-ynzilils Vice-President - - lfiuniee Ayers Secretary - .lean Farrier Treasurer - Gloria Miller The Library Club, which was organized this year under the supervision of Miss Biggs, has for its aim: better organization of the library, getting more and better books across to the students. and helping others find needed reference material. Members of the library class helped to recatalog the high school library and all helped in reorgan- izing the library. We librarians have learned many new things about library work in our weekly classes with Miss Biggs as our instructor. We learned the Dewey decimal system, card filing. and care of books. During the year we have enjoyed a few social events. such as weiner roasts and skating parties. We also Visited the Michigan State Col- lege Library and the Eastern High School Library in Lansing.

Miss Lois Burley. The main project of the year was the production of a three act comedy. Nous Verrons , entirely in the French language. The play was first presented in East Lansing at the high school auditorium. The play was next presented at Grand Ledge before an assembly of the senior high school. The company next journeyed to Eastern auditorium in Lan- sing where they played to a large audience. The group subscribed to the French newspaper Ameriquc . and copies were always eagerly awaited to be read and translated. Though the membership has been small this year, the members feel that they have had a very enjoyable and profitable year. At the end of the year. Bob Cain, Tom Clark and Bill Carter were taken ID as henorary members. in view of the parts which they played in the production of Nous Verrons . 1210 FRENCH CLUB Top Rmv It.

The main feature of the Choir was the Choral Concert held January 14. 1942. We all agree that they showed very good team work. Girls' Glee Club The Girls' Glee Club is a new organization this year, made up of first sopranos, second sopranos, and first and second altos. They meet twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays. The girls have made appearances at High School Concerts. The group has had compli- ments and criticisms which helped them very much. We hope the girls will continue in their success. -.J vs 1 . me 11 'P X . if! S Io- LT. STEVE SZASZ Stove, who loft LIS just lgoforc basket- ball st-ason was ovvr, is now stationvd at Ft.

Grand Ledge Wins Undisputed Championship Comets Complete First The Grand Ledge football team, this year, under the able direction of Coach Steve Szasz, completed the first undefeated season in the history of Grand Ledge High School. The Comets opened the season with a hard fought victory over Hastings. The teams were quite evenly matched and played on equal terms until the last quarter when Grand Ledge suc- ceeded in pushing the ball over and converting the point to make the IZSI Un defeated Season score 7-0, which later proved to be the Hnal count. Grand Ledge then traveled to St. johns to defeat the Red Wings, win- ning again by a 7-0 score. A speedy St. Johns baclcfield and over-confi- dence on the part of the Comets nearly cost them the game. Grand Ledge made their first ap- pearance on Battery Field by upsetting a favored Marshall eleven l4-0. This made the third consecutive game in which the Comets goal line had not been crossed. ln the next game, Eaton Rapids proved to be the first team to cross the Comets goal line, however, Grand Ledge over-powered the trouble- some Cardinals by a score of I9-6. Ac Charlotte, Grand Ledge held a tricky Oriole backfield to one touch- down while making two for them- selves. The result was Grand Ledge I4, Charlotte 6. ln the next game at Everett, the Comets failed to cash in on their scor- ing opportunities and so had to be satisfied with a 0-0 deadlock with this strong Lansing team. Grand Ledge made it I2 games in a row without a defeat by beating Howell next 7-0, at Battery Field in a sea of mud, FIRST TEAM Mason was the next team to fall before the Blue and Cold. Again Grand Ledge battled through a mud- hole to gain a I2-7 victory. ln the season's wind-up, the Comets went on a field day to whip a help- less lonia squad by a 55-0 score. This victory gave Grand Ledge a string of I4 games without defeat during the past two years. The Comets not only completed the first undefeated season in the his- tory of the school, but also won their Hrst undisputed championship. The success of the team in scoring I34 points to their opponents' I9, was not only due to the teamwork of the players but also to the Fine coaching of Steve Szasz who made the team what it was.

Although the record is not so impressive this year, Grand Ledge had a young fighting team, which will continue to improve. Another bright indication for future Cornet basketball is the record of the second team. Nine wins against hve losses gave The Little Comets one of their best seasons in recent years.

Sports In War Time are recognized as a necessary part of our way of life and our fellows at Grand Ledge High School have shown us what clean sportsmanship and excellence in athletics really are. There is no need to recount the details of the triumphant football season, nor of the fine basketball record. The baseball team, under Ernie McBride, and the track team, coached by Russell Fowler, made fine records this spring, and Grand Ledge High School can proudly take its hat off to our boys who brought our school such honors in FOOTBALL ....

E L. -,L 'E --7 :Q If CLASS FLOWER-American Beauty Rose CLASS MOTTO- Keep 'Em Flying CLASS COLORS-Blue and White A History of the Senior Class The Seniors of '42 made their debut into the social life of our high school, as a class, on the evening of October IS, i938 fcan't you picture our sophisticated seniors as naive little freshmen? - it really isn't so difficultl, when they were entertained by the Sophomore class of that year at a l-lallowe'en party. The party was held at Fitzgerald Park fthen Riverside Parkl, where the pavilian was all dolled-up with cornstalks, pumpkins, etc. There was plenty of dancing, for- tune--telling, cider and doughnuts, and we went home feeling that we had been royally welcomed to Grand Ledge High School. Obviously this kind welcome ex- tended to the class of '42 in their fresh- man year was not forgotten, for as Sopho- mores they sponsored a party for the Freshmen of that year, which was at- tended by a remarkably large crowd and was pronounced a huge success. Occasional parties or get-togethers at the park marked our first two years in high school. Undoubtedly, the model scholars were primarily occupied with their studies. fNo smiles, pleasel. But in our junior year came the Big Event, the junior-Senior Banquet. The class, not at all behind times, chose for their theme a military-patriotic motif. 59 The decorations and favors suggested various phases of army and navy life, and the crowning high-light of the party was the immense and beautiful American Hag, which formed the entire ceiling of the gym. Who can tell which of the many happenings of our Senior year we will remember' fifty years from now? Will we have visions of frenzied students tearing their hair over chemistry, civics, last--minute book reports, etc.? More probably it will be memories of the Senior Prom fone of the nicest, mo.t tastefully decorated, and well-at- tended dances ever held while we were in high school, or the May Breakfast 1 the fun of Senior Skip Day, or the strain of graduation week, that will bring back more vividly our high school life. It might even be the worries and the laughs which came to us while putting out this darned Annual fof which we are rather proud, neverthelessI or the shock of seeing many of our pals and cronies leav- ing to serve in the armed forces of our country, when we at last realized that Uwe were in it. At any rate, one thing is certain: all the friendships we have formed and experiences we have enjoyed during our high school years, are well worth re- membering.

Annual Staff Though the number on the production staff of the Annual has been considerably less this year than in previous years, close cooperation has been in evidence during all the months of work. Headed by the editorial staff, John Fitzgerald, Edris Austin, Betty Niles and Duaine Goodsell, the staff was a close-knit, smooth-working organization. The advertising was handled by Dorotha Iianis, assisted by Betty Niles, Eleanor Feyerabend, Jo Anne O'Connor and Betty Reynolds. Ed Bouck and Jerry Anderson very cap- ably edited the sports section as Brigetta Gehlhaar and Helen Martin did in the music section. Maxine Kingsley handled all of the club write-ups and social activities. Kendall Smith, edited draniatics: Harry Kcnipf, informal snapshots: and Mary Alexander, publicity. Jean Gamble. Shirley Reed and Alex Funtukis produced the clever gifta- tory and the typing was done by a committee headed by Nelya Thomas. assisted by Edris Austin. Lorraine Morris. and Betty Pearson. Mary Biergans. as treasurer of the Class handled the deposits and payments for the Annuals. Producing the Annual is an experience that none of the stall' will ever forget and lessons learned through doing it I will last through the years. llfi Editorial Staff When the Editorial Staff took the reins of the Annual this year, they realized their responsibility and also the size of the task which faced theni in trying to produce an Annual in war times, This year's Ledge combines all of the better features of Annuals of pref vious years plus several new features. Two new departures were the cover and the four-color Hag print opposite the dedication. The Editorial Staff hopes that they have pleased you with this Annual and that they have set a standard for the staffs of Ledges to be produced in coming years. V ale dietary Mary Alexander With the advent of spring 'come also spring's many well-loved institutions - its flowers, its warm rains, and its unbelievably green grass. But far more important this year to our present Senior Class are the institutions which we are observing during our last few days in school-those of Baccalaureate, Class Night and Commencement. These days and these customs are foremost in our minds at present, and we, being the graduating class, are important in them. We are not important merely because we shall soon be receiving our diplomas. Even the fact that we have attained certain goals for which we have been striving since our entrance into kindergarten is, though of con- siderable influence, not the sole cause of our consequence at this time. For this yearls seniors differ from the classes preceding them in that they comprise the first class in many years to be graduated from this high school while our own country is at war. The adjustments which the members of any graduating class must make in order to fit themselves into an adult society are over- whelming, but the adjustments required of youth today in a world of misery and sorrow, hate and disillusionment, present even greater difficulties. We are the testing ground which will determine whether or not these adjust- ments can be made satisfactorily and whether or not the gauche but awe-inspiring power of youth can surmount the obstacles which the world presents to it today. In this lies our primary importance. As our civilization becomes more and more chaotic, the adjustments which we must make to it become proportionately difficult. Many of us are filled with indecision as to exactly what is the right thing for us to do now that we are leaving high school, and those of us who are fortunate enough to have made up our minds to some degree may be forced to abandon carefully-laid plans for an existence highly distasteful to us. Youth has seen so much insecurity, so many evidences of unhappiness - they have even witnessed what seemed to them the out- right triumph of wrong over right. Can we blame them for their doubts or their fears? There is an instability about the world today which bewilders youth. They are a prey to disillusionment. Their aims, their goals - their very purpose in life elude them. ,Moreover, they are faced with the respon- sibility of making many sacrifices which, a few years ago, they would never have con- templated. Never before has it been so diffi- cult and yet so necessary for youth to realize its obligations to society. The tragedy of the bewilderment or the mere unthinking purpose- lessness of some of us is heightened since as future citizens of a democracy - or a govern- ment which at least approaches a true democ- racy more closely than that of any other na- tion in the world -- we shall soon be forming the policy of our country: we shall be mak- ing the decisions of our nation. We must have in our minds a clear understanding of the stan- 14 dards and principles which will guide us in making our decisions wisely and with dis- crimination. If our education during these past years has been formed to meet these situa- tions, our difficulties will be remarkably de- creased. If it has not, we must then trust to a faith in our own strength and an inherent be- lief in what is right to overcome the obstacles before us. There are children starving for want of food and sunshine in the city slums. There are families always used to poverty who have suddenly ibeen given more money than they know the value of and so spend it foolishly and cause only more sadness and poverty. There are young men and women with a great deal of natural ability who may never have the opportunity to use their talents for the benefit of anyone. Everywhere throughout the world we find evidences of graft and corruption. We can do something about these things. No longer may we throw the responsibility upon someone else. We cannot say, We are merely a handful of seniors from a small, mid- western town. Of what importance are we in shaping world events? But put together all the seniors from all the small, mid-western towns, and you've got something that's hard to beat! We are not unimportant. More and more young men and women in the high schools and colleges of the United States are realizing that a great responsibility rests upon their shoulders. They must carry on more effectively than ever before the tradi- tions fostered so many years ago by America's first settlers and patriots, and yet not allow these traditions to blind them to the ever-ac- celerating changes which are occurring in the world about us. In this responsibility we have an unlimited share. The United States has by far the greatest total intelligence, energy. and ingenuity among its young people, of any country in the world. A cross-section of these qualities is to be found in the class which will graduate tomorrow evening. And after graduation, when we actually begin our lives more or less on our own, it will be our job to use every talent we have to better ourselves and to improve the world in the things which we, as citizens of a democracy, represent. Life has never before offered so difficult a challenge to us. But on the other hand, youth has never been so ready and so capable of meeting life's challenge, since we well know that our future successes will be all the more dear to us for our having overcome difficulties to attain them. We know, too, that a world with obstacles Land problems for us is not a world to be bitter about, but a world to re- joice in, for it gives youth the greatest oppor- tunity of all - the chance to show another generation what can be done towards straight- ening things out. There is more opportunity now for improv- ing ourselves and the .state of mankind than ever before. Let us seize this opportunity and in years to come let us use all our concen- trated abilities to make the' most of it. Salutatgry Bans Austin Fellow Classmates, Mr. and Mrs. Sawdon, the Board of Education, Parents and Friends: l am speaking tonight for the graduating class of l942. This is an important event in our nearly ended high school career. We cordially greet you-you who have so greatly helped us to realize this achievement. We wish to say that we appreciate your help, for without it we would not have been able to obtain the education which is so essential for youth today. Of course, many of us will continue our education, and many will enter upon the careers for which they have been fitting themselves through their carefully planned high school schedules. Others may require some time to experiment in var'ous fields of work before they find the one suited to their personalities and abilities. ln all our years in school, both grades and high school, we have been looking forward to tomorrow with hope and yearning, dreaming of the success which we desire. During the last three years, since we were Freshmen, we have been thinking about it more and more. Now the FUTURE means more to us than at any other time. Graduation has fcome to us at a difficult time. Our country is at war. We know what that means, for we are American youth, American citizens, and our friends may feel that their confidence in us will be fulfilled. We will do our utmost to keep democracy on top. We have made many friends while here in school. This close association with all types of people has developed our personalities and characters, and helped us to become better citizens. Many of the friend- ships will continue throughout the years: others will be memories, which will be pleasantly renewed when we think back to the activities of our high school days. We sincerely hope we can carry out the plans and faith that you have in us. We are looking forward to Utomorrowu. We pledge our best efforts to fulfill the destiny which the future has in store for us. 14-Il INVENT ORY Alexander, Mary Anderson, Jerry Atwell, Wilma Austin, Edris Baker, Robert Barnhart, Stanley Benjamin, Donovan Benjamin, Kenneth Biergans, Mary Margaret Bouck, Edward Briggs, Janette Congdon, Dale Corwin, Shirley Curtis, Margaret Deneweth, Bertha Deuel, Albert Dhaene, Virginia Dixon, Ralph Giftatory-Bottle of Thompson's Milk.

Once again it is the duty of the editor to write an appreciation to the Annual Staff and members of the faculty for their help an-d cooperation in putting the Annual out. I do not feel that I can mention any specific names without doing an injustice to others who have worked so long and faithfully. Putting out the Annual this year has not been easy, priorities have interceded in many instances in paper, covers, developer for pictures and printing plates, making us accept many sacrifices which were never necessary before, and out of it all has come the 1942 Ledge - our first War Annual . Whether there will be an Annual next year or not we cannot sa but , Y- W9 feel that this Annual is the best that could be produced with the dihiicult con- ditions which we worked under. Once more, I want to say thanks to the Editorial Staff an-d to the Annual Staff, to Mr. Sawdon and the faculty. Without your help this Annual would not have been possible. -JOHN W.
