Her friendliness and interest has long been appreciated. By way of this dedication we wish to sincerely thank Mrs. Marjorie Niehaus. fp-Qfllvfw The Class of '59 is the last class to graduate from these buildings as con- struction is under way for the new high school, Students look forward to class- es in the new building, but we will not soon forget the good times we have had here, We poked a lot of fun at our century old building, we grumbled about the long climb to study hall, we laughed when the floor shook and the lights swayed, we cheered at pep meetings and basketball games, and we crowded the halls before classes, We hope the years ahead in the new school will bring the memories and spirit we have shared together here. May the honor and respect won by Grass Lake High students in the past be part of the future. O gddftddf The Board of Education is in- terested in the successful func- tioning of the school, This year they have been busy with plans for the new high school, Other responsibilities include the school budget, teachers' contracts, taxation and trans- portation, As superintendent, Mr. George Long maintains school records, recommends school personnel, and obtains new equipment and repairs, The additional job of coping with the plans for the new high school was added to Mr. Long's responsibilities this year, SEATEDg George Long, Mrs, Beatrice Kavanaugh, Mrs, Leah Winters. STANDING: Leon Lockwood, Walter Kalmbach, Ca rl Maute, As principal, Mr, Overly has devoted his year to help- ing teachers, students, and personnel to have a more successful year. Setting up schedules, ironing out the many diffi- culties that arise, advising students, and making the school a better place in which to gain a better educa- tion are all part of his daily tasks, 74004 .rt , . ,.,.., K . .4 1 1, f- ..,.

Hops, the class projects, the pep meetings, and the laughter. But most of all we 'll remember our teachers and our classes, ' 'E . . . and our Junior High teachers - Mrs. Frary, Mrs. Osterman, Mrs, Cooper, and Mrs, Clark, W5 We'll recall our Junior High classes where we got our first glimpses of high school X1 cfm?

The Warriors met Michigan Center under the lights in a gridiron battle that ended in a 13-13 tie. During half time Queen Diane Wright was crowned, and she and the members of her court, Eunice Shepherd, Nancy O'Connor, Shirley Bower, Carol Willy, Karen Wright, and Lynnette Lantis, were presented.

The purpose of the student council is to encourage student initiative and responsibility: to promote the best interests of the school: to promote general activities of the school: to act as a student advisory board to the faculty and administration. The members of the 1958-59 student council worked toward this purpose. This year the council sponsored Freshman initiation, Homecoming, the sale of basketball buttons, assemblies, Pep Jug activities, dances after basketball games, and Sadie Hawkins week. Mrs. Carolyn Callendar was student council advisor. FIRST ROW: DeAnna Schittenhelm, Marjorie Wolfe, Barbara Anderson, President, Jana Loveland, Secretary, JoEllen Damaron.

Dm THE THREAD THAT RUNS SO TRUE In March the juniors presented the dramatization of Jesse Stuart's novel, The trials and tribulations of a young school master beginning his career in a country school posed an enjoyable comedy, FORENSICS A large number of students took part in the March forensic contests. The library, halls, and stairways found the contestants polishing up their entries for the judging, MOTHER IS A FRESHMAN N l The seniors' comedy was presented in November, A middle -aged mother, portrayed by Marjorie Wolfe, takes a scholarship at a small college so her daughter, Sally Earley, can continue her education. The dean, Jerry Middle- brook, insists she has some ulterior motive and tries to find an excuse to expel her, Kendall Cook as a zoology prof. and Norris Rowe as the campus wheel are romantically interested in mother and daughter respectively, The others in the cast make up the college students that seem to be interested in everything but education. Credit for the success of both plays goes to Mrs, Callendar, director, who also coached the forensic contestants, A ull f ll , I 'I' in MOTHER IS A FRESHMAN QWAMWSM Swim-SWLM Sham .m Sazmdag, EJILW, .mzmfw-JK az nam ffclhwli an dh eimxing Q naoo SJR 36:92 SJW!

Under the guidance of head coach Mirl Rosendale and assistant Carl Erickson, the Warriors compiled a 6-1-1 conference record, the finest ever attained by a Grass Lake team. Their spirited defense, which shut out six opponents, and a powerful offense led them to a second place finish in the Cascades Conference. The team selected Kendall Cook and Phil Willis as honorary co-captains. Robert Cooper and Ken Wright were voted most lmproved players for the season. The Warriors were honored to place guard Dick Beal and halfback Phil Willis on the All Conference offensive team with Kendall Cook, Tom Cooper, and Jerry Mid- dlebrook receiving honorable mention. Defensively, Dick Beal, Kendall Cook, and Phil Willis were selected, while Jerry Middlebrook received honorable mention. 1 'an 'V 3 :uw 1958 FOOTBALL SCORES CONFERENCE STANDINGS G, L, 25 0 G.

Verbecken, dfldffyg A young, determined Warrior basketball team coached by Carl Erickson and Mirl Rosendale lost many close games this season. They finished in a tie for fifth place as a result of inexperience. It is hoped that the undetclassmen gained valuable experience to raise them in the conference standings next year, The team was honored to place senior Jerry Middlebrook on the All-Con- ference Team for the third time. He led the league in scoring by averaging more than 25 points a game. i of A X FIRST ROW: D. Haselschwerdt, J. Alexander, E. Forner, D. Palmer D Dakin SECOND ROW: C. Strahan, R. Dowling, K.
