COUNTY NORMAL HISTORY Oceana County Normal began September 3, 1934 with eleven students from Oceana County. During the week our number increased to sixteen, representing seven townships. Hart, El-bridg, Otto, Leavitt, Crystal, Shelby and Clay-banks, and six schools, Hart, Shelby, New Era, Muskegon Heights, Walkerville, and Montague. At our first business meeting we elected the following officers: President, June Durham; vice-president, Evelyn Schroeder; secretary, Stephanie Bovid; treasurer, Walter VanderWall. Under the supervision of the following instructors, Mr. H. H. Shinn, Superintendent; Miss Isabelle, Becker, Principal; Miss Anna B. Kant ., Critic; Miss Harriet Stout, Art and Music, we completed the requirements of the course satisfactorily with no one dropping out. On January 3, we sponsored a moving picture lecture, “Our Winter Flight to Isle Royale”, by Ben East, to help pay our expenses for the annual County Normal trip. With the money we made from this and the generous gift from the Board of Education, we were able to go on March 14-15 to Rural Progress Day in Kalamazoo, and the Kellogg factory and Ann J. Kellogg School in Battle Creek. We also participated in the All-School Carnival, enjoyed a roast on the dunes, a pot-luck supper, a Christmas party, several picnics at nearby lakes and last but not least our last day celebration at (aldington. With the official recognition of our completion of the course on May 29, we felt that our year s work not only had been worthwhile, but also enjoyable.

THE HARTIAN, 1935 • Valedictory Parents, Teachers, Board of Education, Friends, and Classmates: Tomorrow night, we the class of ’35 shall receive those documents which will end our high-school career, our diplomas. They will represent the goal which we have striven for twelve years to attain. Tonight, however, we have done our best to make merry with will, giftatory. history, prophecy, poem and song. Now we wish to express our gratitude and appreciation to all who have helped us throughout our school life. We can never fully repay you, our parents, for all you have done for us. We do realize the struggles and sacrifices you have made to give us an education. We want you to know that we deeply apreciate your efforts and that we shall do our best to prove that we deserve your many sacrifices. Members of the faculty, through your untiring assistance we have overcome the many obstacles and solved the difficult problems which lay before us. We offer sincere thanks, not only to you teachers who have helped us in our later years; but also to those who first started us in our school life. Many of them have gone away from here, but some still remain. Members of the school board, we wish to express our deep obligation to you for the interest you have taken in us. You have carefully provided us with the best teachers enabling us to have the cooperation of the most efficient and capable ones. You have also greatly helped in our athletic affairs; for all of which we again thank you. Now, classmates, we must say farewell. We have reached the end of our journey together. During that journey we have formed many friendships. Some of them will live through everyday contact; but many, due to the distance that parts us, will live only as cherished memories. But no matter how far apart we may drift, I hope we shall always be bound by a common tic, the love of Hart High School. A tie that wears more strong than years. Whatever road we’re taking.” And so, classmates, farewell. —Bertha Springstcad Salutation In behalf of the Senior (’lass of ’35 I welcome you to join us in this happy event. Tomorrow night we shall receive our diplomas. To most of us that will be a sad occasion. Soon we will lift our anchors and set sail on the voyage of life. Soon some will achieve higher goals in the more advanced schools of learning; while others will enter business; some will be employed in the trades; while others will be satisfied with their present attainments. But tonight we are not going to be sad but joyous. We wish to express our gratitude to our parents, our teachers, the school board, and the taxpayers who have so nobly and generously assisted us through our grade and high school life. We have tried hard to make our work a success. During the past four years we have mourned the departure of some of our classmates who have gone to other schools, or who for per- sonal reasons have found it necessary to leave school altogether: We have welcomed new stu- dents who have joined us. We have helped further student-government and school-citizenship by cooperating with the teachers and the school. Some of our class have excelled in scholarship, some in music, while others have achieved high standing in athletics. We hope we have left the school a little better than we found it. This year we are celebrating the tercentenary of secondary education in America. We feel a debt of gratitude to the Bostonians who started the first so-called grammar school, and to all the people through the many years who furthered secondary education. We realize that we owe much to those pioneers who have made free high school education possible for us. Again we thank you for your help, and we welcome you to this occasion. —Lois Moore Page Thirty
