Gwinn High School - Gwinner Yearbook (Gwinn, MI)

Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1965 volume:

.v y Schools are symbols of education. Just as the sun lights the earth, knowledge illumines the minds of students as they travel the road through high school. Sometimes darkness covers the scene almost as if everything were over, but education is continual. Though the road of formal education has already been traveled by many, the future roads still lie ahead. 1965 Gwinner Gwinn High School Gwinn, Michigan i Table of Contents ACTIVITIES....................7 ORGANIZATIONS...............-19 ATHLETICS....................33 ACADEMIC.....................45 ADMINISTRATION...............70 ADVERTISING..................76 2 Many Events Crowd School Roads Pathways twisted and turned throughout this past year. With the beginning of the school year, 761 students crowded the halls, their voices reflecting their eagerness and anticipation of another year of events. Assemblies and after-game dances ac- cented events as the days progressed into weeks, and the school year was well under way. On October 10, football fans were thrilled at the efforts put forth by the Mod- eltowners in their performance, crowning the Homecoming festivities. After the game, an evening was spent with fine mu- sic. On December 7-11, the annual School Spirit Week took place. It consists of Clash Day, Student Teacher Day, Wear What you Please Day. and School Color Day. As usual, the month of December held that certain quality known only to the Christmas season. The two weeks of vaca- tion gave everyone a chance to relax so he would come back to school refreshed and ready for work. After the rigorous schedule of exams, the students were then ready to begin a vig- orous second semester. ' On February 16-17, the Junior Play was held and it proved to be a great success. The play was directed by Mrs. Mullins, and was entitled, Spiral Staircase. The last three months of the school year sped rapidly by. In March the basketball tournaments were held. April brought a relaxing week of vacation. The Band Con- cert and Senior Play were the two most im- portanfevents in May. But for many, the Junior Prom held the most important posi- tion. June can almost be termed as a month for seniors. When Commencement oc- cured on June 10. it climaxed a year full of meaning and great importance. School Gives Students Part of Knowledge School provides the fuel for the Torch of Knowledge. Sometimes students must take time out to think of themselves and their future. Though much studying is done at school, work at home is another step along the road to wisdom. 4 Needed for the Long Road of Life School presents opportunities for students to assemble and learn about the people around them. Here Cheryl Chapman cooperates in an act with Mr. Otto Schmitt. Echoing and resounding through the halls of history are the words, Study! Learn! At an early age, the seed of knowledge is planted deep within the soul of young people. Slowly light is shed upon this seed, and it feels the questioning of a mind thirsty of knowl- edge. It blooms; it grows. As it grows, the person grows too - physically and mentally. He begins to travel the road to wisdom. The library, under the direction of Mrs. Flaherty, provides a quick learning of the ever-changing cycle of events in the world today. With Concentration Came . . . Activities 7 Homecoming 1964 MISS SALLY NORDEEN - 1964 HOMECOMING QUEEN Homecoming, October 10, 1964, was a major event in the extra curricular life of Gwinn High School. Weeks of preparation went into making floats, choosing the queen and her court, decorating the cafeteria for the Homecoming Dance, and, of course, practicing for the football game. The bonfires in the school parking lot Friday night started the Homecoming activ- ities. Saturday, before the game, the parade was held. At halftime the 1964 Home- coming Queen, Sally Nordeen, was introduced to the crowd. The sophomore's win- ning float, Sidetrack the Miners, vas announced at halftime, also. The Harvest Moon Dance brought an end to the eventful week. The only regret of the entire week was Gwinn's loss to Negaunee, 27-6. 8 Here Comes the Parade Queen Candidates (L to R) Joan Foress, Linda Bertag- noli, and Sally Nordeen smile at the crowds as they go by. The cheerleaders yell chants while riding down the street. The band led the way for the class floats. 9 Team captain Edd Topping leads the cheerleaders and his fellow teammates through the football. Senior class president, John Fallon, pre- sents the football to Ruth Antflink, sopho- more class president, for the winning float, Side-Track The Miners. 10 Before the Queen was announced, the candidates and the Queen's Court waited anxiously.

Mr. Zenti, physical education coordi- nator, is the director of this activity. Its members have worked after school many days this past year, in order to participate in its activities, such as performing at half time of one of the basketball games. This show was put on very well and thoroughly enjoyed. Although its membership is small, the tumbling team did a very good job and hope to achieve much more next year. Good Luck!' Members of the team are: Barbara La- Chance. Cheryl Chapman, Tom Strangi, Lloyd Salinas. BOTTOM: Lloyd Hagan, Joe Yahr, Shawn Germain, and Mr. Zenti. Others on the team that are not pic- tured are: Pam Fallon, Barbara Kovach, Judy Brown, Marvis Jensen, and Ray Yahr. Barbara LaChance makes Tumbling look easy in this picture.

Helen (Sandy Ritzke) talks to Mis. Warren (Marilyn Wolcott) who has been an invalid for many years. Helen served as a friendly compan- ion of Mrs. Warren. Professor Warren (Merlin Fahey) slips on his black gloves and gets ready to kill another imperfect girl. The professor's assistant, Stephen (Lowell Eas- ley), plays a game of chess with Mrs. Warren's nurse (Janice Elsberry) Helen weeps as she holds the body of Mrs. Warren, who dies of a heart attack after shooting her son.

Greg McBride and Frank McDonald got out their old blue jeans and sloppy sweatshirts for the Wear What You Please Day” during the School Spirit Week. Did Dixie Gibson oversleep, or is this just one of those Crazy Days. Mike Armatti and Gerald Charles take a break while finishing up the new props for the Junior Class Play. Student Activities Is it Jane or is it Tarzan? No. it is just Joe Cough- lin and Burt Muehrcke trying to look civilized dur- ing School Spirit Week. Crazy Hat Day proved to be a great success. Here Louie Hardin. Paula Shaw, Terry Richardson, and Bonnie Johnson display theirs. I should have been the F.T. A. $ UGLY MAN! The band performed at the home football games. Here they are shown formed in a jack o'lantern during the Cinderella show. They were also seen at home basketball games where they added much spirit. On December 17, they held a Christmas concert and in May the annual spring concert took place. The seniors were honored by a dinner with Mr. Del met, which was followed by an outing for the entire band. Congratulations on a fine year. 20 FRONT ROW: J. Caplett, M. Beltrame, C. Moss, E.

The goal was met by overwhelming success judging by the participation shown in the numerous projects and activities sponsored by the Student Council such as Homecoming, School Spirit Week, Save the Cnildren Bundle Days, and numerous assemblies. The council undertook many new activities during the year, in order to build up the treasury. Two were the Curtis Magazine Drive and Wear What You Please Day.

What Happened in ’64? Ron Price took over the quarterback duties from the injured Bruce Suar- dini. Here he gets instructions from Coach Johnson during a home game. The Modeltowners deserve each honor and reward they won in the 1964 football campaign. Success did not come easily and only through extra effort and per- sonal sacrifices were they able to hammer out a much improved 3-4-1 record. Reviewing highlights of the season, one is quickly reminded of the Stephenson victory at home, Ed Top- ping's record 96-yard run that won the Stephenson game, the goal line stands against Calumet and Ste- phenson, and Filizetti's 58-yard touchdown scamper on a pass interception at Gladstone. The Model- towners of '64 won more contests than any other grid team in Gwinn's brief football history. The defensive unit bolstered by Sheridan, Baumann, Filizetti, Jensen, Stephens, and Erickson, held oppo- nents to a GHS record low of 121 points. With Suar- dini and Price at the helm and sparked by the great running of Topping and Connors, the Modeltowners offense crossed enemy goals for 57 points. However, the real difference in the offensive threat must be credited to spirited and determined line play led by guards Morrison and Tindall teamed with tackles Mil- jour and Ussher and ends Moffat and Ketola. 38 . V. s Show Varsity Potential The 1964 Modeltowner J.V. football squad, which was the only team in the short J.V. foot- ball history at Gw inn to win a game, was coached by Robert Pelkie and Charles Gendron. The team's fantastic progress which was dis- played throughout the season, is an indication that the team itself was far better than their creditable 2-4-2 record shows. All the hard wqrk and effort put forth by the J.V. squad culminated in their two victories, one against Ishpeming and one against Bishop Baraga Central of Marquette. A congratulations is not only fitting ana prop- er for this fine team but also well deserved. Coaches Charles Gendron and Robert Pelkie, the pilots of this year's Junior Varsity squad were very well pleased with progress made throughout the sea- son.

Freshmen, sophomore, juniors, and seniors all await it with hope and fear. It is the division between adolescence and adulthood. It marks the beginning of a life on one's own. It tests our ability to use the tools of knowledge we have mastered. Graduation leaves behind a score of memories both pleas- ant and painful. Sadness and joy mingled as the long await- ed events draw near. We must leave behind the friends we’ve known and look forward to making new ones. We leave be- hind the carefree days in school to enter the mainstream of human activity, to make a place for ourselves in life. Our lives are ahead of us now.

A senior is a leader of the student body, someone who is responsible for his thoughts, and his words. He is facing the most important event is his young life: graduation. After graduation! the road of life becomes steeper and more rugged. The highway twists and turns, and and as the road climbs higher, some fall by the wayside and are unable to go on. Those who are strong - those who are ambitious - strive ever onward to the summit. They reach the pinnacle of life - success. At the moment, no one knows who the vanquished and the victors will be. It re- mains for the seniors of Gwinn to go on with their struggle, to scale the mountains and cross the valleys of the treacher- ous road of life. CHERYL UNDERWOOD 57 Class Grows From 31 to 102 Here is one of the two kindergarten sections taught by Mrs. Marie Sauer in 1952 that were the beginning of the Class of '65. In 1965 the tables that kindergarten graduates of '53 sat at were much high- er and somewhat newer. In September of 1952, 31 children started kindergarten at the old Gwinn High School. Mrs. Sauer had these youngsters in two sessions - one in the morning and one in the after- noon. When they reached sixth grade, new students started coming to school and the class moved to the clubhouse. As they grew up, the K. I. Sawyer Air Force Base brought them some new friends. Some of these new friends stayed, but far too many had to leave and others took their places. In their junior year, this class put on a successful play, Kissin Cousins and a prom, Moon River. As seniors, they put on another good play. The Class of '65 has 102 students. They will be the second class to graduate from the new school. In June, these 31 children and all their new ffiends will walk down the halls of Gwinn High School for the last time. Juniors One More Year, Then What? PRESIDENT Sandy Ritzke V. PRESIDENT Betty Jo Smith SECRETARY Donna Keskimaki The junior class has done various things this past year. For Homecoming juniors made a float for the parade and also made posters for the dance and then contributed to the bonfire. Aside from that, they held a pep assembly and a dance. The junior class play was a big success and the prom proved to be a wonderful occasion.

He is suspended halfway be- tween two mediums. He has lost much of the confusion and insecurity he possessed as a sophomore. He is accustomed to the pattern of high school and has established his goals and ambitions. Yet he lacks a certain intan- gible quality which marks a senior. His goals are closer than they were a year ago and yet they still are unreal and seemingly unrealizable. Before his wondering eyes stretches the final lap of the race - his senior year and and graduation. It is near and yet so far away. Still he is eager, as all youth, and confident in himself, his teachers and his advisors. His trust in others and himself will bring him safely to his final year and make it one of joy and learning. 62 Here Come the Sophomores The sophomores were a real going group this year. They started off the year just fine by taking first place in the float competition at the Home- coming. They decorated for the Homecoming Dance and did a beautiful job. After the Marquette game, they sponsored a dance which was the first real suc- cess of an after-game dance. The band, the Out- laws, was very good and enjoyed by all who attended. To raise money, the class had a bake sale and col- lected dues.
