Presenting A World Within A World' 1974 Hi-Life Greenville High School 111 North Hillcrest Greenville, Michigan 48838 im Moore, Editor John Larsen, Adviser Like the church and the steeple, this is our world, and these are our people. Our world is different from any other. We have a different environment and different people. It's a complex world in which many things take place. The greatest of these is an everlasting friendship. Sometimes the whole world goes out on you, and it's at those times that a real friend steps in. It may be just a smile, but when it comes from deep inside, it can heal a depressed or broken heart. 2 Within A World 3 A World... You have to really work to accomplish your goals || and sometimes the boredom syndrome strikes. But a new day will dawn and the sun will shine in— with the newness of life, and the thirst for a new way. New reflections begin to show. And sometimes just having someone there, who really cares, you get so high on love you feel you could fly. Then you decide that our world is not such a bad place after all. 4 Worth Living In 5 Social Studies Department Where Students Expand Their World Next year, Civics 12 will be dropped from the Social Studies curriculum and Anthropology and Current Events will fill in the space left by this elimination.

Crown 58-52 Boy's intramurals finished a rousing season with Adam's Eve scoring a 58-52 championship victory over Nelson's Knockers.

John Adams and Brady Nelson each had comments after John's team beat out Brady's for the I.M. crown. John said, We played 'team ball while Brady explained, Intramurals shows guys how to work together. Our overall record was a result of good team effort. These comments show that intramurals teach the same good points that varsity sports do. These are teamwork, good sportsmanship, and a desire to stay healthy and in good shape. The annual all-star game was played in February this year. The Gold League, led by Tom Hawes and Joe Schrader, defeated the Purple League, led by Steve Sims, and Glen Rittenger, by a score of 50-45.

No doubt about it. The frosh Jackets started the year with highest hopes and won their first two games. Then, they were beset by injuries, and they lost the next three games. “Our confidence was down with those injuries and it was slow in coming back ' Kraai said. But it did come back for the last game of the year and the frosh finished 3-3. Kraai listed Pat Antcliff, Don Sherrick, and Steve LeDoux as high prospects for future years. There was one more comment on the freshman team by Coach Kraai. “This group of boys was a real good bunch. They were very coachable and should go far in upcoming years.

Basketball team won more games this year than any other J.V. team in the history of this school. What was the secret of their success? Coach Kent Ingles said that their winning formula came from a mixture of two main ingredients—teamwork and hustle. When one of the guys would have a bad game, someone else would work twice as hard to compensate for it. Also, they were never afraid to get in there and fight for the ball. They were the best grubbers I ever had. Top Left: 1973 J.V.

The season started out with the Jackets going 2-2 in their first four games. After that they just couldn't seem to get it together and they won only twice more during the regular season. As bleak as the regular season may have been, the district playoffs brought an about-face. They upset Hastings, 73-66, and then they went on to defeat Belding 69-67. They couldn't keep the Cinderella dream alive though, and lost in the District finals to Lakewood, 68-43. Yellow Jacket cagers honored at this year's banquet were: All-conference honorable mention. Best Defensive Player, and Most Valuable Player, Terry Acker; Most Improved Player, Scott Chandler; Hustle Award, Jim Laurent; and Sixth Man Award, Paul Jones.

The season record was 13-1, their only loss was that to Mt. Pleasant, who was the number one wrestling team in the state. As a team, the varsity compiled a total of six trophies, broke many individual records, defeated Belding without the opponent's scoring, beat Lowell for the first time ever, and had three wrestlers make it to the State meet at Western Michigan University. Al Vos, Senior, ended his high school wrestling career by taking the Class B 185 pound State champtionship. Vos is the second GHS wrestler to take a first place state title. The first was Don Korson in 1970. Bill Palmer, Junior, took fifth place at the state meet at 119 pounds. Harry King, Junior, qualified for State, but lost two out of three matches. A lot of records were broken this year but the pinning time of Senior Joe Vos will be hard to break. Vos pinned his opponent in eight seconds. The Outstanding Wrestler Award went to the State champ, Vos. Randy Strouse, Sophomore, took the Larsen Competitive Award and Dan Bissell, Junior, took the Most Improved Award. 90 Greenville Varsity Wrestling Opponent 49 Central Montcalm 6 23 Mt.

Ski Club Holds Annual Ski Trip At Crystal Mountain Highlighting another successful year for the Ski Club was the annual ski trip held at Crystal Mountain. This was the first year the Ski Club had been to Crystal Mountain and everyone seemed to enjoy the change of pace. Starting in the summer, Ski Club cleared the Tower Mountain area of all debris that accumulated. Then after the first snowfall, the skiers had a meeting to sharpen their skis and talk over things they would like to do during the year. This year Ski Club chose to participate in a money raising project so that the cost for the annual trip was not as expensive, as it had been in other years. Their project was selling candy and with the money they raised from this, they paid for their bus fare for the ski trip. Most of the Ski Club was active, except for a few snurfers who were just learning to ski this year.

Sometimes you can Ride the bench just to rest, or when your team is winning, to give the second string a chance to play. It covers injured players to having a bad game, to being ineligible. Real bench riding is when you're not as good as the rest of the team. You go through the same hard practice every day, giving of yourself, both mentally and physically, to be able to walk out on the field and beat the other team. As you sit on that pine bench with your head hung low, you try to give your support to your teammates. But it just makes you feel hollow inside. So hollow that sometimes it builds to the point that you'd rather ride pine bleachers. 96 Left: The deep feeling inside Dennis Krick, Junior, shows itself in silence. Top Right: Caren Nielsen, Junior, and Lori Jorgensen, Senior, talk over team strategy before they go back into play.

Far Left: Bob Kropewnicki, Junior, rides the bench temporarily trying to psych himself up for the next quarter of play. Bottom Right: Coaches Taylor and Ingles and team watch in hopes that Greenville can pull this close one out. 97 Seniors The Senior Class Officers for 1973-74 are: Rocky Snow, President; John Adams, Vice-President; Judy VanHarn, Secretary; and Terry Clark, Treasurer. Cherish yesterday, dream tomorrow, live today. With this motto in mind, the seniors will have a lot to look back on from their last year at GHS. Bobby socks and greasy hair started off the year for the seniors as they sponsored a 50's dance. Shortly afterward Homecoming arrived and, following the tradition, the senior float came in first. A modified rock tape for GHS was paid for in part by the senior class and money was also given to the Dean Scholten family who lost their home to a fire. Graduation remained in the minds of the seniors throughout the year as they ordered caps, gowns, jewelry and announcements. Last day of school for the seniors was May 24, with graduation following on June 2.

The student body at GHS requested six extra minutes to be added to each lunch hour so the students and faculty as well, could more easily finish their lunch and have a few minutes just to relax and finish up extra work before going back to classes. This problem was handled by the board and administration by moving the ala carte line over to the concession stand. This was done so the regular hot lunch program could have two lines in which to operate from, thus shortening the lines. The length of time standing in line seemed to be the major complaint of the student body. In a survey conducted through the Student Council and Mr. Cushman, it was pointed out that those who carried their lunches were the major complainers and they felt that they did not have adequate time in which to finish their lunch. 155 156 Top Row: Mr. Richard Diehl, Mr. Paul Engel and Mrs. Gail Ford.

The Closet is a part of the GATEWAY program in which student-listeners are made available to the student body. The Closet was designed as a place where a student can go to talk if he has a problem that he might feel uncomfortable talking to the adult counselors about. The listeners are trained to listen and not to advise. If they were advising, then they are not doing their job. The student-listeners received rigorous training on understanding themselves as well as understanding others. After all, before you can understand someone else, you must be able to understand yourself first.

Vogue Services Weitzel Frye, Attorneys Acknowledgements For some of us this world is readily coming to an end. The yearbook will be one way that each of us has to remember our time here. The task of producing the book would have been impossible without the time, interest, effort and cooperation of many other people in addition to the regular staff members. We give special appreciation for patience and understanding to Mr. John Larsen. He has been more than an adviser—he's been a friend; a vital friend we couldn't have done without. Members of the 1974 HI-LIFE Staff are also indebted to Helmut's who not only took all senior pictures, but also took many group shots; and to our printer, Greenville Printing Company, for aid and assistance in producing this book. In addition, we would like to thank the Spotlight Staff for their help in writing copy, and to all the people who gave up their session to work in the darkroom. The members of the HI-LIFE Staff are especially grateful for the cooperation of the students and faculty members who were inconvenienced many times when pictures needed to be taken or information was needed to write copy. This is the end of this world, but it's the start of a new and beautiful world we're about to see and enjoy. 'fy)6+ JLS Editor 185
