PRESENTING. . . v THE I 50ti. HI-LIFE II 1917 ■ 1967 | Greenville 1 Senior High School Greenville, Michigan ft David McGowan Darwin Sampson Editor Advisor FOREWORD The Hi-Life staff of 1967 has unearthed two important discoveries; one, the publication of the first Greenville High School yearbook, and the other a former Greenville High School graduate. The first CHS yearbook was published in 1917, ironically the same year that none other than Rip I an Winkle graduated from Greenville Union High. Shortly after commencement exercises Rip went hunting near the old school in the wooded area which was then called Possum Holler. After an unsuccessful morning Rip sat down upon a knoll to rest and fell into what proved to be a very long sleep. Iwakened at the sound of the victory cannon hcarlding a GHS touchdown on October 7, 1967, Rip, because of his long beard, rusty gun, and ragged clothes, determined that he had slept those fifty years. Recause this year is the fifieth anniversary of our Hi-Life and because Rip I an Winkle was a 1917 graduate with unparalleled knowledge of that year, he, with the help of our artists, will recreate the scenes that appropriately divide the sections of our Hi-Life. Speaking for the entire 1967 Hi-Life staff, I hope that each of you will discover our unique 50th anniversary yearbook to be a special and fitting commemorative oj a special and fitting year.

HE’LL SHOW YOU THE WAY. DEDICATION 1967 Mrs. Highfield at age one Mrs. Highfield at age five. The dedication is one of the most important parts of a yearbook. We, the 1967 Hi-Life staff, feel that the person who receives the dedication should be worthy and deserving of it in all respects. It was with this attitude that we chose Mrs. Marjorie Highfield as our candidate. One of Mrs. Highfield's most definite contributions is that of taking time to talk with individual students and helping them in whatever ways possible, whether it be school work, personal problems, or just problems in general. Most students know that her door is always open. Mrs. Highfield was born in Grand Haven, Michigan, to Mr. and Mrs. Elio Emery. Upon graduation from Grand Haven High School she enrolled in Hope College, Holland, Michigan, and graduated v ith a B. A. degree in 1944. She then attended the University of Michigan and graduated in 1945 with a Masters degree. 6 Mrs. Highfield In September of that same year, she came to Greenville Junior Hiqh as a history teacher. At this time she married Mr. Jack Highfield, yet continued her teaching career. Mr. Highfield is a pharmacist at the Highfield Drug Co. and has been an active participant in school and community affairs. Mr. and Mrs. Highfield are members of the Congregational Church in Greenville and have one son, Michael, who is presently a student at the University of Michigan. In her years of teaching at Greenville, Mrs. Highfield has given tirelessly of her time in many ways. In 1947 she was advisor of the school yearbook. In addition to her regular teaching duties, she was very instrumental in starting the first GHS Honor Society. She advised the Society for several years. Although she originally taught history, Mrs. Highfield is presently teaching English, particularly composition courses at high school level. The composition courses were set up and paced by Mrs. Highfield. She was also one of the promoters of Greenville's fine new English curriculum. It is clear by now that Greenville High School has been very lucky to have Mrs. Highfield on its educational staff and so the 1967 Hi-Life staff, in the name of the school, takes this opportunity to extend to you, Mrs. Highfield, our earnest appreciation and gratitude.

THE SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS OF 1967 CLASS FLOWER - Rose CLASS COLORS — Honolulu Blue and Silver CLASS MOTTO - OUR GLORY CONSISTS NOT IN NEVER FALLING, BUT IN RISING EACH TIME WE FALL. DAVE JENSEN MIKE BLANDING Student Council Repre- Student Council Representative sentative Seniors in the days of Rip Van Winkle had school work relatively different from what we have today. Also there were not as many extracurricular activities in which to become involved. Today Seniors are required to take certain courses and have a certain number of credits before they are eligible to graduate. The advances which have come to our society have also influenced the courses which G.H.S. now has to offer. Who knows what change the next fifty years will bring to G.H.S.? 24 Bruce E.

Because of this goal, they have found themselves in a variety of activities, such as selling candy after school, sponsoring car washes, and shoveling sidewalks. We wish these fearless Romans the best of luck in the conquering of their goal...................... Entertainment, Roman Style, with Spartans in the background. The language of the Romans may be dead, but their banquets certaintly arc ‘not. This can be witnessed by the annual appearance of the “Roman Banquet” in the G.H.5. cafeteria. Each year, the Eatin Club pre pares and presents this event, with French Club members acting as slaves. This page presents a picture summary of this immortal event. A relaxing dinner.

If you answered the above question yes, you probably have not noticed the approximately 6000 copies of the G. H.S. Spotlight floating around the halls this year. On the other hcnd, if you are not blind, you probcbly have noticed them, maybe even bought one, maybe even read one, or part of one. If you are among the latter of this group, you you are among the fortunate who can appreciate a really great paper. Not only does the Spotlight keep the students informed of the activities of their school, but also grants the opportunity to the students to express their opinions and talents. WHO IS IT? This handsome looking group could often be seen running around in the halls sixth hour, not to mention frequent appearances in the library, the art room, down-town to advertisers, or in practically any place where news might possibly 126 lurk. They also could be found in room 139, composing, typing, copywriting, and making layouts until all hours of the night. (For answer see next page). WHO WAS IT? 1 Pat, Nona, and Pam making layouts.

He exists in the rr.inds of thousand.' from coast to coast, and will continue todo.;o as long as the theme Progress. remains dear to the hearts of Americans. But to picture him as v e like to think of him for our own generations, the old Sleepyhead needed to be redone again to lead readers through the 1967 Hi-Life. Laureen Gillis did the job for us. From her pencil came the character of Rip Van Winkle as we know today; and also from Laureen’s pencil came the recognizable features that appeared for Rip page after page. He always looks like Our Rip. Laureen is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Gillis. She is a senior this year, and has been interested in Art every since her freshman year when she began work in Mr. Blinn's room. She said she had no previous experience with cartooning, but we think she has a fine talent in this field. Laureen expects to attend Kendall School of Design in Grand Rapids next fall and will study advertising design. The Hi-Life Staff wishes her the best, and thanks her for doing a dandy job. Rip thanks her, too. She brought him back to life again in 1967 - the 50th Anniversary of the GHS Hi-Life. Upper Left: Coach Williams demonstrates championship form during the donkey basketball game.

VARSITY VICTORS Under the adept coaching of Ed Heiby and Jim Watson, the Jackets have compiled their greatest football season in 11 years. And, as a whole, this year’s team was very young, composed of many juniors and several sophomores. From the opening game. Coach Heiby pinned his hopes on Sophomore quarterback Ed Barnwell who proved himself one of the finest prospects at GHS in many years. As a result, this year’s team scored 162 points and allowed 125 which is a great improvement over last year’s team which scored 91 and gave up 91. High scorers for this year are Roman Barnwell, 43 points, Frank Gibson, 31 and Gary Sewell, 24. Defensively, Sewell and Del Cory led pass interceptions with three each. After compiling a 5-3-1 record, the Jackets are considered to be a football threat for many years. The five GHS players named to the West Central Conference all-star team are Ed Perdue, Roman Barnwell, Gary Sewell, Chuck Grow, and Dick Sowerby. It is evident that the 1966 football season has brought great pride and admiration back to Greenville sports. Greenville retains possession of the American Legion Trophy after a hard-fought tie game with Belding. 134 Co-captains Paul Christiansen and Dick Sowerby discuss the Strategy with Coach Heiby and Coach Watson for the Belding game.

J.V. FOOTBALL This year’s J.V. squad compiled a fine 6—1 record as they scored at least 18 points per game with the exception of one game. They also were tough on defense, allowing only one opponent to score more than 14 points and posted two shutouts. Mike Nelson stood out as the offensive workhorse. He tied with halfback Al Colby for top scoring honors with 53 points. GREENVILLE 28 GREENVILLE 32 GREENVILLE 39 GREENVILLE 18 GREENVILLE 27 GREENVILLE 6 GREENVILLE 18 BELDING 13 ST.

After a rather uneventful season last year, the team came up with an extra-ordinarily successful season, suffering only seven defeats, six of which came in the State Finals. In dual records this year, the Harriers went undefeated, 8 wins and 0 losses.. In other events, the team captured the Conference and Regional Championships. They also showed a fine performance at the Lowell Invitational meet held at Fallsburg Park. In this race, the Harriers captured second place, beating 19 rivals. On November 12, seven representatives of the team travelled to Ypsilanti for the State Finals meet. These seven runners gave Greenville a seventh place rating in the State. Of these team members, the five who placed were Bob Faber, Bruce Bond, Jim Whitten, Dave Soule, and Tom Senko. With a little bit of hard work on the part of the team as a whole, Coach Seaver can expect an equally fine or perhaps better team next year.

VARSITY BASKETBALL The 1966 67 basketball season proved to be one of great ups and downs. Throughout the season, the Jackets would seem to be very impressive one night and then, in the next game, nothing would seem to go right. However, the team fought hard to throw off the losing streak and showed much determination and enthusiasm in spite of several close losses. This strong will-to-win finally paid off in the tournaments where the Jackets proved they were a strong team to reckon with. They won their first two games against Cedar Springs and Central Montcalm due to the strong individual performances of Dave Skinner and Gary Sewell and the overall excellent team work. In the District Championship against Belding, the Jackets showed great spirit and drive, but lost the game in the final closing seconds. Outstanding individual performers include: Seniors Gary Sewell, Del Cory and Dave Skinner; Junior Paul Bidstrup; Sophomores, Dave Vanderlip and A1 Colby. Seniors who will be missed next year include: Mike Delp, Joe Kulas, Skinner, Cory and Sewell. However, next year we can expect much help from Sophomores Mike Nelson, Vanderlip and Colby.

Two of last year's seven returning lettermen were unable to finish the season because of injuries, and three of the remaining five w'ere in the lower weight classes. Next year, however, there will be eight returning lettermen evenly divided between upper and lower weights.

The G.H.S. thinclads scored a total of 33 points, including a record breaking mile run by Bob Faber in 4:36.1. A total of 10 youths won medals for their individual efforts in the meet. Another new record was set last year by John Large who pole-vaulted ll’lO”. At the annual spring sports banquet Coaches Ed Heiby and Tom Seaver made several awards for outstanding trackmen. The following trackmen received trophies: Rick Williams, most Valuable Player: Bob Faber, Most Outstanding Performance; Freshman Al Colby, Outstanding Underclassman. Dave Jensen was awarded the Golden Shoe for most points scored with 76. This year the team has great depth due to an increase in returning lettermen: Al Brown, half-mile and mile relay. Al Colby, hurdles and 880 relay; Paul Molter, 440 and relays; Paul Bidstrup, hurdles and high jump; Bob Faber, mile and mile relay; Jim W'hitten, mile; Dave Jensen, dashes and 880 relay, and Dave Skinner, dashes.

They work vigorously and cheerfully to maintain a high level of school spirit. During the week, the cheerleaders practice the many chants and acrobatics involved in their spirit-lifting process.. The girls spend much time making hall posters, preparing the order of events for pep assemblies, and designing their own skits. Several times this year, the school spirit at G.H.S. has been rather low. But these girls were determined to raise the faltering school spirit to new heights. They designed new cheers and worked even harder to provide the excitement and pep needed to spark our athletic teams. As much as anyone appreciates a good athletic contest, it can safely be affirmed that there would be something missing in G.H.S. sports without the smiling and beaming cheerleaders.

H. S. The objectives of this class are concerned with assisting and developing an understanding of the art of Drama both as a performer and as a spectator. The class has studied lighting and make-up techniques and prepared the sets for the plays produced by the school. CLASS Watch that first step Drama Students busy at work Time out in drama class 167 DEBATE GHS has a debate team. Although some students realize this, they do not understand what a a debate is. A debate is a pro and con argument conducted under pre-determined rules. It differs from a discussion, in which the goal is to find a common truth, because it has two sides opposing each other and striving to prove the other side a fallacy. The two opposing sides are called the affirmative and the negative. The affirmative team supports the proposition which is to be proven and the negative team opposes this proposition. The proposition that the affirmative supported this year was resolved: That the foreign — aid program of the United States should be limited to non-military assistance, which means that the United States must abandon the present policies of military aid and achieve goals through other methods. The negative tecsn disproved this proposition and defended the present conditions of military aid. The affirmative and the negative teams accomplished their aims not by using their own opinions, but by citing those opinions of accepted or reputable authorities in quote. 168 FORENSICS FRONT ROW: Mr. Hawey , B.

SALES AGENCY RIP S HISTORV OF GHS The Union High School as it looked in 1907. Note the beautiful grounds. 200 A rear view of the Union High School. Note the fire escape at the left of the picture. During one of the last 1967 Hi-Life meetings, the staff and Rip Van Winkle decided that perhaps everyone would be interested in finding out or recalling exactly what Greenville High School was like in 1917. Therefore, with the help of Rip and the 1917 Hi-Life, we will create a true picture of GHS 1917 style. Greenville’s first real high school and, for that matter,Rip’s too, was the Union High School. The three-storied white brick building (pictured on the opposite page) was built in 1869 at the cost of $30,000. The school was said to be a thing of beauty both inside and out. The magnificent grounds and the building were maintained by only one janitor. The Union School was the pride of the city, but unfortunately it perished by fire in 1911. Great interest surrounded the fine structure built to replace the old Union School.. Its corner stone was laid in 1912 with impressive ceremonies. In 1913, commencement exercises were held in its fine auditorium. The $100,000 building was one of the most modern in design of any in the state. It boasted of noiseless floors, excellent lighting, good ventilation and indoor toilet facilities. The structure rests directly at the south end of Franklin Street. This was the same site on which the Union School stood before its destruction. A total of 215 students were enrolled when the High School first opened. The students were offered a choice of several courses. A college-preparatory course offered Latin, French and German. A commercial course offered bookkeeping, pennmanship, typewriting and stenography. Work in algebra, geometry and trigonometry were offered; the history classes were many, but all well taught; a course in agriculture was provided and a course in mechanical drawing. Sewing classes attracted the girls and manual training was offered to both boys and girls. Classes in orchestra music and vocal chorus were also under way. A High School Senate offered the boys a chance for oratory and argument and a literary club fulfilled the same office for the girls. A system of school banking throughout all grades attempted to teach common business rules and saving- The class of ’17 had 41 members. Though 41 members is a seemingly small class to us, it was rather large and quite active for those days. Among their activities was a Halloween party, a tug of war and a sack rush. The Tyro, a little paper edited by the members of the High School, was published and well received by the public. A Junior-Senior picnic was planned, but was held in the gym because of rain. GHS athletics in 1917 consisted of football, baseball, track, and girls’ and boys’ basketball. Football was taken up in the fall of ’17 for the first time in several years. Considering the fact that the team was late in organizing and that the boys were new to the game, a great deal was accomplished. The team played four games, winning one and losing the others by a small margin. The basketball team boasted 8 members. They ended the season quite well, winning 14 out of 18 games. Greenville’s highest scoring game was 54 points while their lowest was 2 points. The spring sports, track and baseball, had good material and played a good season. Altogether, the little school community was a busy place. The new building was the scene of many lectures and club meetings making it a community center as well as a school. UNION SOMOOL, GREENVILLE. MI0H. «, CO, PW«. W.WAVKM, Hfc 301 201 QUOTES AND NOTES Foreward hi presenting this, the first year book of Greenville High School, the staff has endeavored to produce a publication of which we may all be proud. The purpose of this Hi-Life is to portray a clear-cut and vivid picture of the past ycar's activities, both in work and in pi ax. So, if in future year's, it serves to call up memories of old friends and happy hours spent in the G.H.S., the editors max feel that they have been true to the trust placed in them, and so may each succeeding Year Hook be better than the last. Seniors Seniors: What a feeling when one thinks of not taking one's place among the rest next fall. What a vacant place the school life will leave in our lives. Just as we arc about to leave it all, and break the old ties, we realize how much it has all meant to us, and we can, for the first time, understand the emotions of the successful graduates who come back and give us little talks. I feel-ing of gratitude to those who have made it possible for us to go this far in our education comes over us, and we go out from the Greenville High School highly resolved that their efforts shall not be in vain. The present Junior High School as it looked in its early days. 202 FROM THE 1917 HI-LIFE The 1917 Class Motto Sincerity - Honor — Service Faculty Breaks The faculty, though ’most always right, sometimes says things that are really a fright. These slips of the tongue recorded below, The unintentional breaks of our faculty show. Mr. Paine (in Chemistry) “If anything should go wrong in this experiment, we and the laboratory with us, might be blown sky high. Will the class please come a little closer so that you may be able to follow me. Miss Fish (in English Lit.) “When was the Revival of Learning?” No one answered. Miss Fish “The night before the last exam.” The 1917 Class Colors Red and White and Blue Jokes Teacher to Student: “Do you agree with him Wally?” Wally: “Why, yes, if the rest of the class does.” Waiter: “Milk or water, sir?” Customer: “Just a minute, let me guess.” Teacher (Looking at report card) “Is this your daddy’s signature?” Student: “As near as I can get it.” Customer to waiter: “How did I order my eggs?” Waiter: “You were none too polite about it.” Boy to Girl: “ There has been something trembling on my lips for weeks.” Girl: “I know, why don’t you shave it off?” 2: f 15003 High School Building.
