Entrance of Freshmen into High School in August. 1934 High School started with fifty-nine freshmen trooping timidly through the halls, getting into the wrong classrooms, while the upper-classmen enjoyed our mistakes and embarrassment. Scene changes—Our class was organized with Mr. Cowles as class adviser, and the following officers presided: Maureen Munger, President: John Gable. Vice-president: William Jensen. Secretary: and Jack Corbin. Treasurer. This seemed to make us feel we were a part of the school, and assuming all the dignity it is possible for Freshmen, we went eagerly into the year's activities. Sub-title: Freshmen Party. Our costume party, which we sponsored in the spring, with the assistance of Mr. Cowles was a decided success. We completed the year feeling it a great success, and eagerly waited for the next reel in our high school career. Reel 2. Sophomores. With a few losses and a few gains in our cast of characters, we started in the fall of '35 as sophisticated sophomores. There was a noticeable change in all the members of the class. We acquired a great deal of dignity during the three months vacation, and it was then our turn to laugh at the mistakes of the Freshmen. Scene changes—Under the direction of Mr. Olendorf. we selected the following class officers who proved very efficient: Loraine Berger. President: Jack Corbin, Vice-president; Carroll Trom- mater, Secretary; and John Gable. Treasurer. Sub-title: Sophomore Party. The Sophomore party was our big event of the year. This was held in the spring and was successful. We felt this year had been a profitable and enjoyable one and we were ready to go on to the next reel of our high school life. Reel 3. We are Juniors. Looking through the ranks we found the members in our class had increased. We were the enthusiastic group of young men and women known as the Juniors. Scene changes—By the aid of our efficient adviser. Mr. Decker, we chose these officers to guide us: William Jensen. President; Donald Powers, Vice-president; Robert Walker, Secretary; and Elma Shull. Treasurer. Sub-title I. Junior Party. We opened the season with the Autumn Frolic, the first party of the year. Sub-title 2. Junior Play. The Last of the Ruthvens was given to help finance the banquet and J-Hop. Miss Elliot was director, and did much to make it a success. Sub-title 3. Junior-Senior Banquet. Under the supervision of Mr. Decker, we presented the Seniors with an outstanding banquet and hop. The banquet was given at the Masonic Temple and the J-Hop at the high school auditorium after the banquet. Reel 4. Seniors at last. We entered our final year, as the dignified Seniors of the class of 1938. Scene changes—Under the supervision of our principal, Mr. Dalman we organized with the following officers: Robert Walker. President: Barbara Kludy. Vice-president; Loraine Berger. Secretary; and Marjorie Trommater. Treasurer; with William Jensen as Editor-in-chief of Hartian; and Donald Powers as Business Manager. We also have a senior council appointed by our efficient president. Robert Walker. Sub-title I. Senior Party. With the auditorium decorated in blue, silver, white, and with a large well-decorated Christmas tree in the center of the room, we gave a Christmas party, one of the gayest of the year. Sub-title 2. Senior Play. Under the direction of Miss Reush, the senior play Seventeen was given. She selected a capable cast of characters and it was a decided success. Sub-title 3. We surprised the under-classmen one day by not arriving at school as we usually did. This was our skip day which was financed by the Hart High Banner, published by the Speech Class with the aid of Miss Elliot. We were royally entertained by the Juniors at the annual banquet and J-Hop. We feel that as we go Out of the Harbor, into Life's Sea we are much better prepared by having spent these four years at Hart High. 19 Top Row—Barbara Kludy, Marjorie Trommater. Mr. Dalman.

Senior Council Due to the success of the Senior Council last year it was decided that we should again have this organization. The members consisted of the class officers: Robert Walker, president: Barbara Kludy, vice-president; Loraine Berger, secretary; and Marjorie Trommater, treasurer. The President of our class also appointed five other members, namely: Lynn Sloan, Ruth Riddell, Garth Spitler, Myra Coleson, and Maureen Munger. The Senior Council met and acted as representatives of the class, making it unnecessary many times to call a meeting of the whole class. 20 UNDERCLASSMEN Top Row—Virgil Smith, Dick Stoneman, Ted Neiison, Frank Weirich.

In the spring we put on a costume party, which was a beautiful affair with everyone in their various costumes. After mastering one milestone of our high school life, we entered as Sophomores. The following officers were elected: President, Stanley Matulis: Vice-President, Muriel Martin: Treasurer, Margaret Cargill: Secretary, Charles Landon. Mr. Olendorf assisted us in giving a St. Patrick’s party on March 12, 1937. ' Upon entering as Juniors in the fall of ’'37,“ we found that our work had just begun. We elected the following officers to guide us through the year: President, Margaret Cargill: Vice-President, Charles Landon: Treasurer, Robert Tripp: Secretary, Bette Day. After obtaining enough money, we started the high school parties by giving a Fall Frolic. We gave Hold That Line, Jimmie, our Junior play, on December 14-15, 1937. Now we are working to raise enough money to sponsor the annual J-Hop, which we all hope will be a great success, on June 7. We greatly appreciate the help Mr. Decker has given us in this year's class work. BETTE DAY.

Freshmen Class History In September 1937, our group of 62 eager Freshmen entered high school with hopes running high for a happy and successful year. In October, Mr. Cowles, the class adviser, called a meeting for the election of officers. After a number of nominations for the various offices were made, the following were chosen: President, Richard Hutchinson: Vice-President, Donald May: Secretary, Jean Purdy: Treasurer, Oakley Wicks. During the year, many successful dance practices were held with Miss Childs officiating as dance instructress. These meetings were planned by the class for the benefit of those in the group who cared to learn how to dance. On April I, 1938, the Freshmen sponsored their annual spring party for the entire high school and faculty. We planned a gala affair and hope that everyone present had an enjoyable time. 24 JEAN PURDY.

Secretary CLYDE MURPHY, President LITERATURE Valedictory Recognizing the fact that this program presented this evening is the last one to be offered by us as a class of Hart High School, we are compelled to look at the future with a certain degree of seriousness and meditation. Upon receiving our diplomas tomorrow night the last bond connecting us to this school will be severed. We readily acknowledge that earning our diploma is only a small part of earning a place for ourselves in this world. Fully understanding that great problems are facing us in the near future, we hope to step out of our role as a high school student and into another role that will merit us a place among men. Before attaining any great heights we expect to trod upon the rocks strewn along the pathways of the lower levels. Dear parents, the knowledge of our indebtedness to you weighs heavily on our hearts. Although we will never be able to adequately repay you for the four years you sacrificed to present us an education, we want you to realize that we sincerely appreciate your efforts and promise to do all within our power to prove they were not in vain. Also we wish to express our deep gratitude to the faculty members who have so capably piloted us through the four years we have devoted to obtaining an education. Perhaps there were many times when it seemed to you that you couldn't endure us much longer. If we were instrumental in causing your grief, we want you to know that we are very sorry and that we are deeply grateful to you for the services you have performed for us. The time has come, fellow-graduates, when our ways must separate and our associations must be broken. Let us hope, however, that all of them will not be broken and that some friendships formed during our high school career will prove as lasting as the Rock of Gibraltar. WILLIAM JENSEN Salutation Tonight we have reached the climax of our high school life. It has seemed a short life filled with golden memories of the days when we played our games, studied our lessons, and enjoyed the companionship of fellow students. We have received honors which made us happy and disappointments which made us sad as we climbed those four steps—Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior. Class Night brings us to the top step, the summit of all our hopes and ambitions. For the past two years the Class of Nineteen Thirty-Eight has looked forward to this occasion, thinking we would address you from that huge stage which is being erected in the new gymnasium. Though our dream was not fulfilled, it is with glad hearts that we leave this opportunity to the underclassmen. We wish also, to express our profound appreciation for that monument of public spirit which has just one great end in view—to serve the boys and girls of Hart. We extend our most cordial greetings to each parent, teacher, and friend assembled here this evening. It has been your interest in our achievements which encouraged us in the past, and may that spirit of good will represented by your presence here tonight, inspire us to future success in life! We, the Class of Nineteen Thirty-Eight, salute you, and express our sincere hope that you will enjoy our last performance as high school students. 28 MAUREEN MUNGER Last Will and Testament of '38 Parents and friends of the deceased: We understand you have gathered for this very solemn occasion of hearing and seeing for the last time, the class of 1938.

In the spring of 1948 as we, Lynn Sloan and Robert Walker, were rummaging through the attic for our fishing tackle which we were going to use during our vacation from the strenuous duties of our business enterprises, we came across the 1938 edition of the Hartian.

Chorus: Dear Classmates all, farewell, farewell, And let no one forget The many joys the happy hours; We leave them with regret.

The band has been playing a grade of music equal to that of the largest high school bands in the state and has been playing it in masterly fashion. With its new uniforms, it is now also one of the best appearing bands in the state. All of the band members receive individual instruction at least once a week from Mr. Schestag. Some of the band's performances of this year have been at the Oceana County Fair, football games, Harvest Festival, the Annual Band Concert, Achievement Day at Shelby, West Shore Music Festival at Muskegon, Tulip Festival at Holland, Oceana County Music Festival, and the Memorial Day programs at Hart and Mears. 36 Top Row—Mr. Schestag, Evelyn North, Elma Shull.

Orchestra The musical organization which has shown perhaps the greatest progress this year is the school orchestra. The addition of several violins has given this group greater balance than it has had in previous years, and the music which it is playing has brought it up to a par with the orchestras of large schools. The orchestra has had two regular rehearsals each week this year, beside the individual instruction which each member has received each week from its director, Mr. John Schestag. The following engagements have been played this year: concert at the Methodist Church, Christmas program at school, the Annual Orchestra Concert, a banquet at Walkerville, and the West Shore Music Festival at Muskegon. 37 Top Row—Rose Kraus.

Girls' Glee Club Thirty girls under the direction of Miss Harriet Stout organized a Senior High Girls' Glee Club in October. The following officers were chosen: Marguerite Christian, president: Muriel Martin, secretary; and Dorothy Pugsley, treasurer. The Glee Club meets every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Doris Tyson accompanied the Glee Club until she moved from Hart. She was replaced by Jean Purdy. We sang twice at the Ladies' Auxiliary meetings at the Congregational Church, and at the County Teachers' Institute held in the High School Auditorium. The Orchestra and the Glee Club presented a Concert which proved very successful. On May I Oth the Glee Club will go to Grand Haven where they will join with several other Glee Clubs in a Music Festival. MURIEL MARTIN and DOROTHY PUGSLEY 38 Boys' Glee Club At the beginning of the school year there was no Boys’ Glee Club in our school, but through the effort of some of the boys enough interest was aroused to make such an organization possible. Miss Stout consented to direct the club. So one morning soon after Christmas a group of eager boys was found in the auditorium. They decided to meet twice a week, on Wednesday and Friday mornings at eight-thirty. They also decided they would sing a variety of music. During the rest of the year, an average of twenty boys were at rehearsals. During the time they had, considerable progress was made by the boys. The Glee Club was asked to sing at the Carnival, the Annual Music Festival held in Hart High School, and also the Father and Son Banquet which was held in April. A group of ten boys, mostly upperclassmen, journeyed to Grand Haven on the tenth of May and sang at the Choral Night of the West Shore Music Festival which was held there.

At the first meeting we elected our officers as follows: President—Helen Butler, Secretary— Louise Dillingham, Treasurer—Alice Jean Simon. We have had a very good attendance. There are twenty-one members in our Glee Club. Our music is unison and two-part songs. The organization is chiefly for training the girls for the Senior Girls Glee Club and also for the enjoyment of the music. The girls sang once for an assembly and have shown a great deal of interest. They should be commended on their fine work. Top Row—June Jeffries, Doris Howard, Louise Dillingham, Helen Butler, Miss Stout, Bernice Simon. Kathryn Taylor, Lucille Baker, Claire Ann Betts.

Rehearsing together each week, these people receive the valuable training of group playing, and when they show sufficient ability they are transferred into the senior groups. All members of the organization, ranging in age up from youngsters in the second grade, who are scarcely as big as their instruments, are having their first year's experience with their particular instruments. This group, in uniform, made its public appearance in the Orchestra-Glee Club concert last winter. F. F. A. German Band The school's newest musical group is the F. F. A. German Band, coached and directed by Mr. John Schestag. This band, consisting of nine F. F. A. members, was organized last winter, since which time regular rehearsals have been held during the noon hour. This new group has become popular, not only in Hart, but also in many of the neighboring communities, having played for the Carnival, the Farm Bureau, and the Crystal Lake, Carpenter, Sackrider, and Shaw schools. In appreciation of his services, the F. F. A. boys have made Mr. Schestag an honorary member of their organization. Dance Orchestra The High School Dance Orchestra has completed its third year of activities under the tutelage of Mr. James Benjamins, furnishing the music for the school matinee dances and junior high parties. This seven piece group had to do most of its rehearsing on evenings when no other activities interfered. In order to make up for the dancing its members miss while playing for school parties, the orchestra has traveled to Grand Rapids this year and last to dance to the music of two of the country's leading dance orchestras. 41 Calendar of Events 1937 - 1938 Sept. 17—Ployed first football game with Shelby, there.

Apple Judging As usual our apple judging team covered itself with glory at the annual State Apple Judging Contest held in the Civic Auditorium at Grand Rapids. Even though it didn't uphold our school tradition by taking first, it did the next best thing capturing second place. Twenty-five schools of Michigan entered teams in the contest, supervised by Bob Loree. Of these twenty-five Olivet placed first with a team score of 2,451.6. Hart ranked second with 2,397.5, Belding third with 2,298.2, and Buchanan fourth with 2,293.5 points. Matthew Davidson was high-scorer for the local team aggregating 826.2 points. Next in rank came Carl Schramm with 791.3, and third-highest scorer was Jesse Wygant garnering 780 points. The past records of Hart apple judging teams are very impressive. Contestants from our school have entered in eleven contests during the past twelve years. Six times the local boys came home the proud possessors of first place. In the remaining five contests the Hart team took second twice and third three times. With the promising material available for next year it is almost a certainty that our school will be as well represented as it has been in the past. 44 Top Row—Lovern Hipley.

A. boys, grain judging has developed to a plane equal to any other activity of this department. As all the other activities of this branch of the school, the grain judging team is efficiently coached by the agriculture instructor, Mr. Cowles. The team journeys to Michigan State College every year to attend the Junior Farmers Week Activities in the spring at which the judging is done. Besides judging and identifying numerous kinds of grains and other seeds, this year the plans are to compete in other lines such as potatoes, poultry, and stock. In addition to the contests, the boys attend the annual state convention of the F. F. A. Much time is spent exploring the college campus and taking in various other sights at our state Capitol. 45 Top Row—Lee Beadle. Don Wolf, Mr. Cowles, Burton Cargill. Rollo RoyUs, Herbert Zuhl.

The F. F. A. is an organization of farm boys taking agricultural courses in the Smith-Hughs department. The organization, with Mr. Cowles acting as adviser, has made much progress since 1933. The F. F. A. was organized in 1933 with Kenneth Kokx acting as president. Glen Trommater was president 34-35: Carl Hill 35-36: with 20 in the organization: Edgar Reeds 36-37, with 49 in the organization: and Matthew Davidson 37-38, with 48 in the club. Each year delegates are sent to the National Convention at Kansas City. Each member carries some sort of agricultural project, making a written report of it at the end of the year. The F. F. A. started their 37-38 year with a visit from a group of Future Farmers from Ohio. The next event was a trip to Lake City for the Potato Day held there. The boys saw much of interest in the modern ways of farming. This trip was taken instead of an annual project tour. The group also made three exhibits at the annual County Fair taking first, second, and third prizes. Besides the work carried on by the boys, they enjoyed such things as a radio, ping pong, and checkers. On February 23 the boys went to Montague to put on an initiation for them. 46 Safety Patrol The Safety Patrol is a service organization for the protection of the grade children while they are crossing the highway. It consists of seventh, eighth and ninth grade boys. There are 26 boys on the squad and the entire squad is divided into patrols with four boys in a patrol. These boys are on duty at the hours when the grade children are crossing the street going to and from school. The organization is sponsored by the Automobile Association of Michigan. This is a very worthy organization and the boys are doing a very fine piece of work. They are stationed on the corners of Johnson and State, Jefferson and State and Johnson and Courtland. The Lieutenants of the Patrols are: Junior Stoneman, Frank Polly, Tom Nobles, and Ralph King. Stanley Seelhoff is the Captain, and Mr. Snow is the adviser. The boys are on duty regardless of the weather: in rainy weather they may be seen with their white capes. In stormy weather with their ear muffs, mittens and jackets, they are always at their posts. These boys are doing their share in preventing accidents and should be commended on their faithful service.

Sophomore girls were given preference this year, although some junior and senior girls were enrolled. Junior High school girls had Home Economics twice a week throughout the year. There were approximately fifty girls in the Senior High School groups and fifty in the Junior High school group. Our enjoyable work was carried on under the direction of Mrs. James Benjamins, who before her marriage during the year was Miss Elizabeth Krum. In the fall each class helped to preserve foods to be used for hot lunches during the winter. Several weeks were spent in making aprons, head bands, and holders to be used later in our foods work. A few weeks before Christmas were devoted to the making of various types of Christmas gifts and candies. Several weeks following Christmas vacation were spent in the study of breakfasts, luncheons, and dinners, and the preparation of various foods connected with the unit. The study of clothing and making of spring clothes took up the latter part of the term. During the study of our foods unit we prepared and served a game supper in cooperation with the F. F. A. boys.

The aims and purpose of the Hi-Y are similar to that of Y. M. C. A. It differs from this organization in that its membership is made up of high school boys only. The Hi-Y Clubs are a National Organization with headquarters in Washington, D. C. The Hart Hi-Y Club was organized in the spring of 1937 with a charter membership of 18. Their first meetings were held in the park pavilion and the following officers were elected: Charles Landon, President: Donald Powers, Vice-President and Sergeant of Arms; Jack Mesick, Treasurer; David Sayles, Secretary. Shortly after the coming of summer vacation the meetings were resumed. A new club room was chosen. The new club room is located under Anderson's Pharmacy. It is composed of two rooms; recreation room and one to hold their meetings in. The recreation room has two ping-pong tables, portable billiard-table and card tables. The meeting room has a radio and magazine rack. Two initiations have been held which has brought the membership up to 39. The meetings are held every Monday night. The club room is open to members every day from four o'clock to ten at night and all day Saturday. The club has engaged in several public activities and plans to engage in more in the near future. The club hopes to be of service to the community as well as a pleasure to themselves. The local organization owes its foundation and growth to Kenneth Hodgers. He has given generously his time and energy and his interest in the boys has made the club a growing concern. DONALD POWERS Calendar of Events . .

Musical notes which were cleverly arranged dominated the auditorium. Entertainment during intermission was furnished by Bob Tripp and Charles Landon who raised quite a comment by playing on their sweet potatoes. The girls trio, composed of Nedra Dillingham, Maureen Munger and Elanora Durham sang two selections. Refreshments consisting of ice cream and wafers were served. An enjoyable evening was spent by all present. Senior Party The Seniors gave their annual party the night of December 17. A very unique decorative scheme was worked out. A huge spruce tree dripping with silver icicles and lighted with tiny blue bulbs was arranged in the center of the room. Blue streamers were draped about the lighting fixtures. The orchestra booth also was attractively decorated. Tinted pop corn balls and candy Santa Clauses were served during intermission at which time a group of Senior girls sang I Told Santa Claus to Bring Me You and John Sable recited in fine style The Night Before Christmas. An especially good time was reported by all. Sophomore Party The Big Apple season caught the Sophomores in the net. The auditorium was cleverly decorated carrying out a Big Apple theme. The Stony Lake Orchestra furnished the music. During the intermission all present were entertained with a novelty tap dance and a guitar solo. Refreshments consisting of ice cream and cookies were served. It was an enjoyable party to the end. Freshmen Party The Freshmen have promised the upper-classmen a gala affair. They are doing away with the old tradition of having a costume party and this year made it a dress-as-you-like-party. The decorations were in gay spring colors which added to the pleasing setting. The Jesters furnished the music, and everyone had a splendid evening. 52 Harvest Festival The annual Fall Harvest Festival conducted by the F. F. A. was successfully held on the evenings of November fourth and fifth. Many fine rural school displays were exhibited in the educational and general classes. First prizes were awarded to Sayles and Cedar Schools. Many individuals exhibited plates and other arrangements of apples, pears, corn, potatoes, squash, beans, and other crops. Awarded to John Gebhart was the sweepstake ribbon for the best plate of apples displayed at the show. In addition he had the honor to receive the most points based on the prize robbins he received of any of the contestants. The main event the first evening was a concert given by the Hart High School band. Under the direction of Mr. Schestag, this capable organization played several numbers. During a brief intermission the audience was entertained by some readings. At the Festival the second night the annual spelling contest was held. Contestants entered from Walkerville, Mears, and Hart schools. Nick Hadiaris of Hart won. Another feature of the evening was a one-act comedy, Queen Anne's Lace, put on by the Speech Class. The Festival was climaxed with the showing of two reels of interesting pictures. C. C. C. Entertainment Under the auspices of the Senior Class the Bitely C. C. C. Camp presented a variety program consisting of negro spirituals and excellent specialties such as trios, short skits and tap dancing. Assemblies On November 17 a special musical program was presented to the students under the supervision of Barbara Kludy. The selections were as follows: accordion solo by Mr. Schestag, violin solo by Abbie Gale Nelson, instrumental duet by Bob Tripp and Chuck Landon, songs by the trio, Maureen Munger, Elanora Durham, and Nedra Dillingham. On Wednesday, December 22, an appropriate Christmas assembly was given to the students of the high school by Miss Reusch and Mr. Cowles. The program consisted of a Tableau depicting the Christmas story while the orchestra under the direction of Mr. Schestag furnished music for the background. The students enjoyed a band and orchestra concert presented by these organizations under the direction of Mr. Schestag. The Hart High Banner . . . The Speech Class again undertook the project of publishing the school paper. The Hart High Banner had a weekly circulation of 250 copies, the money being used for Senior Skip Day. Miss Elliott, Mr. Dalman, and Mr. Benjamins were the faculty advisers. Robert Walker and Maureen Munger were chosen as Business Managers and the whole class made up the Editorial Board. 53 DOROTHY FULLER Seventeen SENIOR PLAY Willie Baxter, John Sable, feeling that he was totally dejected by everyone and fully misunderstood by his parents is extremely unhappy, mainly because he wants a dress suit. Lola Pratt, Ruth Riddell, a new arrival in the town and very attractive gains the admiration of Willie. This only tends to complicate his desire for a dress suit and the temptation becomes so great that he takes his father's suit and calls on Lola in fine style as a young man of seventeen should. The evening of Lola Pratt's departure, a farewell party is given. Willie arrives too late to arrange any dances with Lola thus leaving him in a pensive mood, which brought him to this conclusion: a dress suit isn't everything in life and he was ready to better himself and prepare for college the following year. The supporting cast includes: Florence Leicht, Elanora Durham, Elma Shull, Stella Bray, Maxine Kauffman, John Gable, Don Powers, Jack Corbin, Clifford Dillingham, William Rollins, David Fletcher, Jack Ferguson and Loraine Berger. Miss Cecile Ruesch, of the English and Latin Departments is acting as director. The proceeds are to go for publication of this year's Hartian.

The story centered about a college president, Charles Landon who because of his extreme bashfulness, almost loses his position. He, however, aided by his friend, a traveling salesman, Bob Tripp, battles and overcomes this malady just before the meeting of the annual election board. The president of the board, Ellis May, anxious to become the college president, induces his niece, Evelyn North, to take part in his plot to oust the present president of the college. The president of the board gains nothing, however by his fraudulence, but loses the respect of his friends as well as that of his niece. Of course, after various complications the inevitable result is reached, but the excellent acting of the whole cast helped to make it a success. There were a few distinct character parts well rendered: Hilda Shafer as the college cook, black as night: Nancy Corbin who played the laziest girl in college: and Muriel Martin and Stanley Matulis as college students. The play was directed by Miss Jane Elliot and proved a great success. Various committees assisting helped to attain the success. JUNIOR PLAY CAST Top Row—Hilda Shafer, Robert Tripp, Nancy Corbin.

The attractions being the side shows: Puppet Show. Ring a Duck, Dart Game. Pet Animal Show. Be Another Sucker, Movies, Professor Quizz, Hilarity Hall, and other concessions were Western Telegraph Service, Circus Capers, The Heidelberg Inn and the Eat Shop. The two main shows were: The Jolly Jester and Tice's Traversity Troupe. The coronation ceremony of the king. Bob Tripp, and queen, Ruth Riddell, was performed by George Powers. Members of the queen's court were: Maxine Kauffman, Lucille Frost. Muriel Martin, Elma Schull, Marjorie Trommater, Margaret Cargill, Betty Day, and Stella Bray. The Carnival proved a great success under the efficient management of Mr. Cowles. The proceeds are to be used for the band uniforms, athletic equipment, and pictures in the grade rooms. 56 ATHLETICS Nedra Dillingham, Lucille Frost, Ann Wietzke. Alice Jane Winget. Cheer-Leaders During the years '37 and '38 Hart took four new cheerleading fledglings under her wings. They are. left to right, Nedra Dillingham, Lucille Frost, Anne Wietzke, and Alice Jane Winget. These girls took up the torch in Nedra and Alice Jane’s sophomore year, Lucille and Anne being juniors. They have attended every football and basketball game this season to help push the team to victory. And how they did it. They planned and took charge of each pep meeting that was presented. Each pep meeting was enlivened by different novelties which the girls took the time and pains to perfect. Two special pep meetings were given in honor of the senior boys who have played their last football and basketball games for Hart High and are graduating this June. Next year they hope to do still better workouts, as they plan to continue on with the work in our new gym. 58 Football RESULTS OF 1937 SEASON Hart 6 ................... Shelby 0 Hart 7 ................. Ludington 38 Hart 0 ................. Montague 6 Hart 6 ................... Fremont 13 Hart 13 ................ Scottville 0 Hart 6 ............ North Muskegon 6 Hart 19 .................... Shelby 12 Hart High's gridiron team opened the 1937 football season under the tutelage of Mr. Olendorf and Mr. Brooks, Hart's new assistant coach. The nucleus of the team were seven lettermen from last season’s squad. After about two weeks of practice the boys journeyed to Shelby to engage last year's champions in a non-conference battle led by Wyckoff, freshman halfback. Our pass attack was too much for the Tigers to contend with and the Pirates came back to Hart on the right end of a 6-0 score. The next week we entertained Montague on our home field. The ground was wet and the boys were severely handicapped by the wet ball. Montague took advantage of a fumble in the last quarter to push over the only score of the game and win a 6-0 victory. Following this engagement the Pirates journeyed to Scottville where, after a hard fought battle we came off the field on the long end of a I 3-0 score. The following week Hart traveled to Ludington to play the large class B school. The Ludington team plainly out-classed our boys and although the team fought hard throughout the battle, they were forced to leave the field with the score 38-7 in favor of Ludington. We again took on a class B school, Fremont, a team whose goal line had not been crossed during the present season. In the first period, the Pirates pushed a touchdown across but missed the try for the point.

Basketball The Hart High Basketeers opened the past season facing the dismal prospect of not having a home game on the schedule due to the inability to use the gym which had been made into classrooms: but this did not thwart the team which developed into the best squad that Mr. Decker has coached while at Hart. The boys opened the season at Ludington and after a hard fight dropped a 37-24 game to the Orioles. The Scottville Spartans were then met and resulted in a Hart victory 19-17. The next game was with Whitehall, a great team this year, and the Pirates lost a 40-21 contest. In the fourth contest our boys met North Muskegon and were defeated 40-28. Then the first game with Shelby came. Our boys came from behind a 14-16 deficit in the third quarter to win by a 29-23 score. In the next four games our boys took Montague and Custer and lost to Scottville and Whitehall. Again we traveled to Shelby, who avenged their earlier season defeat at Hart's hands and took a 27-24 game. The rest of the season went quickly and the team lost two close games to Fremont and North Muskegon and took games from Hesperia and Montague. Then came the Tournament. The Pirates were hot and took Montague 26-21 and upset Scottville to win the District championship. The team then traveled to Grand Rapids to participate in the Regional Tournament and met East Grand Rapids the first night. Although our boys fought hard they were defeated by a score of 30-26 and consequently were eliminated. Mr. Decker and Mr. Brooks should be congratulated on the fine spirit developed among the boys this year. 60 Left to Right—Miss Childs. Nedra Dillingham, Dorothy Wood, Charlotte Chandler. Joan Peterson, Alice Jane Wmget, Bonnie Beadle. Girls' Inter-Class Basketball Girls' inter-class basketball was organized under the supervision of Miss Childs. Practice was held for one hour and a half each Tuesday and Friday after school. Basketball this year was played in two courts instead of three courts, as was played in the preceding years. In this style of basketball there are only six players, three guards and three forwards. The first part of the season was spent in drills and exercises. The latter part, practice games were held each night. At the end of the season a tournament was held consisting of the three classes, Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors with the Sophomores the victors. The first game was played between the Freshmen and Sophomores. The Sophomores winning 18-3. The next game was played between the Sophomores and Juniors. The Sophomores won this game by a score of 10-7. The members of the teams are as follows: Freshmen—Mona Mack, Captain; Kathleen Roche, Betty Jane Boty, Bobby Kokx, Dorothy Pugsley, Delores Jean Greiner, Lois Van Gilt. Sophomores—Eva Mae Hale, Joan Peterson, Rebecca Durham, Charlotte Chandler, Alice Winget, with Nedra Dillingham as captain. Juniors—Mamie Lorenz, Ann Wietzke, Lucille Frost, Nancy Corbin, Rosalyn Mack-son, Eunice Misner, Margaret Mitteer, and Jane Davidson as captain. 61 Baseball SPORTS SEASON OF 1937 The Hart High Pirates again proved to be one of the best baseball teams in Western Michigan on the basis of their work the past season when the boys won 4 and lost 3 games. The boys opened their season with New Era traveling to Hart for a practice game and our team took the wind out of their sails by a 18-0 rout. Next the Pirates traveled to Whitehall for a conference game and whipped the Vikings 17-3. For the next engagement, North Muskegon came to Hart and after a thrilling pitcher duel between Snyder of Hart and W. Bergren of the Norsemen the Pirates conquered, by a score of 2-0. The next game was played at Montague and the Pirates met with their first defeat of the season and went home with a 10-2 defeat in their season's record. The boys immediately offset that defeat by meeting Muskegon High at Hart and taking them down the line by a score of 7-3. For the last conference game of the season the Scottville Spartians came to Hart and after a wild and woolly game marked by plenty of errors, the Spartians emerged victorious, again with a 13-12 score. For the finals the Pirates traveled to Muskegon to meet the Big Reds and out of this contest came another brilliant pitchers battle between Nelson of Hart and Light of Muskegon which resulted in a 2-1 victory for the Big Reds.

It is fitting that space should be given here to tell of the exploits of Hart’s Junior team. The High School is pleased that the Junior High boys should have received such excellent training under such adverse playing conditions. The team had a very successful season playing forty-six games and winning thirty-two of them. They played against teams from 12 different towns; namely, Spring Lake, Mears, North Muskegon, Shelby, Whitehall, New Era, Pentwater, Walker-ville, Ludington, Newaygo, Hesperia, and Fremont. The squad was divided into three teams, one consisting of 5th and 6th grade boys, one of 7th grade boys and the last of boys from the 8th grade. This is the second year the boys have had a team. Last year they won 17 games while losing but I I. The boys expect to continue with their teams next year. The team members wish to thank I. B.

The Hart Pirates for the second consecufive year had an outstanding golf team which won the District Class C meet held at Big Rapids and placed 4th in the state meet at Grand Rapids. When the season rolled around and Mr. Snow issued a call for candidates the leading members were the lettermen of last year's team. T. Welsh, R. Dillingham, J. Corbin, and L. Berger. These boys again proved to be the cream of the candidates and when the first match was played these boys again made up the squad. The first match was with Muskegon on their home course. The Big Reds won by a good margin. Then the Pirates went to Fremont where they defeated the Packers by a wide margin. Next two games with Grand Haven were played and the Pirates took one, dropping the other at Grand Haven. For the last two engagements before the tournament Muskegon and Fremont were both invited to Hart and were defeated by our team. Tom Welsh played consistent golf throughout the season and was low man for the Hart squad. Although Welsh will be the only man to graduate, he will be sorely missed by both his team mates and his coach. New Auditorium-Gymnasium After years of anxious waiting and hoping the contracts for the new $50,000 Auditorium-Gymnasium were let. Fred Trier Construction Company of Saginaw was the low bidder on the general contract. The Board of Education, backed by the people of Hart, devoted a great deal of time to planning this new school addition, especially after the high school enrollment increased so rapidly in the last few years that Hart High School was almost in the B-class with an enrollment of almost the necessary 300. The contractors lost no time in getting started. Within a very short time after ground was first broken concrete was being poured for the foundation. The dimensions of the building are 94 feet by 80 feet and the construction will be entirely fire proof. The brick for the exterior will be a tan color. The interior will contain a basketball playing floor of 75 feet by 44 feet, with a stage 50 feet wide and 20 feet deep. A bleacher section opposite the stage will seat about 400 people. 700 or 800 people may be seated at basketball games and more than 1000 may be seated for group gatherings. The boys' and girls' locker rooms will be large and convenient. The Class of 1938 will not be able to graduate from this new building but are happy that underclassmen are so fortunate to have this new building for their use. 64 Football (Continued from page 59) third period, Fremont scored a touchdown and again in the same quarter intercepted a Hart pass and ran it across the goal for the winning score. Encouraged by former victories, we took on North Muskegon at Hart and surprised the mighty Norsemen by holding them to a 6-6 tie score. Hart scored its touchdown through its passing attack. In the last quarter, we had another chance to score when Stevens intercepted a Norse pass and ran it to the 30 yard line before caught. In the last quarter, North Muskegon had the ball on Hart's four yard line but could not score. The last game of the season was with Shelby on our home field. Hart got two breaks in the first period, one a fumble by Shelby and another by a blocked punt. Both were rapidly converted into touchdowns and again in the first half, Hart scored making the score 19-0. In the last quarter, Shelby made a belated effort to match the Pirates' score but fell short by one touchdown and went home on the short end of a 19-12 score. Hart had three men chosen on the All-Conference first team; namely, Spitler— end, Wolf—tackle, and Schultz—guard. Don Wolf was elected honorary captain for the past season. Men receiving varsity letters were: Ends—Spitler, Tate, Ducolon; Tackles—Wolf, Lurie and R. Dillingham: Guards—Schultz, Fletcher, Sayles, Tambling; Center—Weirich; Quarterback—Berger, Stevens; Halfback—Hart, Wyckoff, Butler; Fullback—Stover.
