t £x Libris ”39 H A R Nancy Corbin, Editor Bob Tripp, Business Manager Howard Dalman, Adviser Published by the Senior Class Hart High School Hart, Michigan T I A N Too low they build who build beneath the stars. To the underclassmen in appreciation of the cooperation given us by them in all of the activities that we promoted, and remindful of the many acts of kindness and consideration that they have shown us which have made our year as Seniors a happy one, we the class of 1939 sincerely dedicate this Hartian. f 0 fi f 0 fi D As Seniors, we realize that, though having reached the first step in our climb to success we still have many difficulties and hardships ahead of us. In the annuals of other years, our progress has been recorded as Junior High, Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors. Now that we are Seniors we, in turn, publish an annual to record the climax of our high school life, and also the progress of the underclassmen. We hope that they will, as we did from others, get inspiration from this Hartian to work for bigger things. We hope they will look back with pride at the record of their past progress, and look forward with anticipation to the time when they reach their objective. We want this to be an incentive to them to aim for the higher things in life, and not be content until they get them. The easy road is the one that winds back and forth on the flat plain, but leads nowhere. The rough, bumpy road is the one that goes over the top and leads to success. Our hope is that you will take the bumpy road, take the big things to work for, and take the harder but better way to do things. Aim high and build to meet those aims, as a mountain climber is content only when he reaches the peak. It is with this purpose in mind that we publish this 1939 edition of the Hartian. page six Dedication Music Foreword Organizations Hartian Staff Society Faculty Athletics Seniors Humor Classes Advertising Literary Board of Education Ralph Dukes President George W.

We chose for our leaders: Nancy Corbin, Presi- dent; Rex Snider, Vice-president; LaVem Lipps, Treasurer; and Margaret Cargill, Secretary. Mr. Cowles was our efficient class advisor. In the early spring, we entertained the faculty, high school students, and our parents with a costume party. As Sophomores, with a few less than the first year, we managed to begin another year. Our officers were: Stanley Matulis, President; Muriel Martin, Vice-president; Margaret Cargill, Treasurer; Charles London, Secretary, and Mr. Olendorf as our class advisor. ( On March 12, 1936, we had a Saint Patrick's Party. In our Junior year with an increase in our class number we succeeded in keeping on the road to happiness and prosperity. Our officers were: Margaret Cargill, President; Charles London, Vice-president; Robert Tripp, Treasurer; and Bette Day, Secretary. We had as our class advisor Mr. Decker. We put on the first party of the year, the Fall Frolic. The Junior play was put on the nights of December 14, and 15, 1937. Hold That Line Jimmy was a great success because of the efforts of the cast and the director, Miss Elliot. We sponsored the J-Hop on June 7, 1938. The banquet was held at the Methodist church while the dance was in the high school auditorium. Everyone reported a very good time. As Seniors, the number to graduate was sixty-eight. We had the pleasure to be the first to graduate from our new gymnasium. Our leaders for the year were: Ellis May, President; Esther Zuhl, Vice-president; LaVem Hipley, Secretary; Charles London, Treasurer; and Nancy Corbin as Editor-in-Chief of the Hartian with Robert Tripp as Business Manager. The Senior Class was missing from school one day. That must have been Skip Day which was financed by the Hart High Banner published by the Speech Class under the supervision of Miss Gibson. We enjoyed the Annual Banquet and J-Hop given us by the Junior Class. Our play Spring Fever, was given under the direction of Miss Reusch and proved to be a great success. After our four years spent at Hart High, ter suited for the trials of life. we feel that we are much bet-LaVem Hipley pa fie twenty-one SENIOR COUNCIL Government of the People B«IK now: Margaret Cargill.

La Vern Hiplcyr The Senior Council was first established in 1936 to take the place of the Student Council which was the tradition at that time. We thought that since it had proved to be successful that we would try it again this year. The Council consists of our class officers: Ellis May, President; Esther Zuhl, Vice President; Charles Landon, Treasurer; LaVern Hipley, Secretary; and five other members appointed by our President. The other members are. Mark Sargent. Geraldine Walker, Arthur Olsen, Margaret Cargill, and Muriel Martin. The purpose of the Council is to find new projects for the Seniors to work on to earn more money. The Council has proved successful this year and will probably be tried again next year. fiafie twenty-txco unDtflCLflssmtn JUNIORS On the Verge R k row. hit to right: Mr. Decker, Class Advisor; Lester Wye Hoff. |ohn Mafuiis, Bernie Barclay.

With the help of Mr. Glenn Cowles, our adviser, we sponsored the annual spring party on April 1st. This year as Sophomores our class decreased to sixty. We elected as officers: President, Pauline Grate; Vice-president, Willard Tate; Secretary, Dorothy Pugsley; Treasurer, Hugh Sargent. February 3, we gave a Valentine Party. During the intermission the faculty presented a very interesting take off on some of the pupils. A box of candy was given as a door prize to John Matulis who held the lucky number. page twenty-fire In September, 1938, our group of ninety-six Freshmen started what looked to be a very promising year of fellowship. In October, Miss Greene, the class advisor, called a meeting for the election of class officers. After a number of nominations for the various offices were made, the following were chosen: President, Harrison Gale; Vice-president, Alice Jean Simon; Treasurer, Gene Timmons; Secretary, Wanda Berger. 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 cf those in the group interested in learning how to dance. On March 31, 1939, the Freshmen sponsored their annual spring party for the entire high school and faculty. An interesting time for everyone was planned and it was apparent that everyone present spent a pleasant evening. Wanda Berger, Secretary.

After the passing of a few weeks of school, the following officers were elected: Roy Vannette of New Era, president; Lois Veenstra of Fremont, Vice-president; Barbara Kludy of Hart, Secretary; Doris Seaver of Montague, treasurer. These officers filled their positions competently and directed the class with a great deal of ability. The various schools represented here are as follows: Shelby, four; Wal-kerville, two; Hart, nine; Hesperia, one; Montague, two; Pentwater, one; Fremont, one. Although the work was new we have enjoyed teaching very much. We have the first, fourth, and sixth grades to teach. Miss Landon, the critic teacher, gave us invaluable guidance in starting teaching for the first time and carrying on after the first start was made. We are also indebted to Miss Stout for the excellent art and music training she gave us. While our Normal teacher, Miss Becker, spent several weeks in Florida during the winter, her place was filled by Mrs. Snow. Even though she was here but a short time we learned to like her very much. During the time that she was with us, we had a pot luck party. The decorations for the party were in honor of St. Valentine. We are all looking forward to a splendid skip-day trip and to graduation on the twenty-fourth of May with the hope that we shall be teaching next year. pa ye t iccnty-eigh t LITERATURE Valedictory Tomorrow night we will have reached the threshold of a great adventure towards which we have been striving for four long, yet seemingly short years. It is not through our efforts alone, however, that we have at last reached the climax of our high school education. We sincerely want to thank our parents for the advice and encouragement they have given us, and for the sacrifices they have made in order that we might graduate. Without their kindly guidance and friendship, we would all have faltered at the bottom of the ladder. As it is, we have climbed steadily upward until we reached the top. What lies beyond is hazy and uncertain. We are very grateful to the teachers for the cooperation and friendship they have given, and we are deeply indebted to the school board, the townspeople of Hart, and all others who made it possible for us to graduate in this splendid new auditorium. We are about to advance into a new realm. We leave behind our school day memories and the security that comes from being among friends. We are going forth into an unknown world. We will meet new friends, perform new duties, and see new places. We will often yearn for the pleasant scenes of our own community and the good times of our high school days, but we will not sorrow to have left them behind. We will use them as an incentive to higher things, that people of this town may say proudly—“That person graduated from Hart High School. May we all be able to achieve success that will place us among the noted, and, may we each work to make this world a better place for our posterity. Edgar Guest expresses in four lines the thought I would like to leave with you tonight. “The things are mighty few in earth That wishes can attain; Whate'er we want of any worth We've got to work to gain. —Nancy Corbin Salutatory- in behalf of the class of 1939 it is with great Dleasure that I extend a cordial greeting to all those gathered here tonight. To us your presence signifies the true love and loyal friendship bestowed upon us by our parents, teachers, and friends. For a long time it has been the hope of the graduating class to hold their commencement exercises in this new building. At last our dreams have been fulfilled and we are proud and happy to be the first to do so. We think it is fitting, therefore, to salute all those whose untiring efforts have made this beautiful structure possible for the students of Hart High School. To our parents we pay special tribute for their many encouraging words and their acts of self-denial by which they have provided the means for our advancement. Without them, our efforts during the past four years would have been of no avail. We are also greatly indebted to our teachers. They have not only set us good examples of kindness and patience, but they have proved to be sincere and unforgetable friends as well. We hope that they, as well as our many other friends, will be proud of us in years to come as we will be to have attended Hart High School. And so, it is with pleasant memories of our high school life and with bright hopes for the future that we again bid you a most cordial welcome.

Although our school orchestra did not have many opportunities to perform in public this year, it was one of the best ever to represent the Hart School. Mr. John Schestag, director, limited the brass and wood-winds to a minimum and the addition of several stringed instruments brought about an excellent balance among the twenty-six pieces. The orchestra furnished music for a Sunday evening concert at the Methodist Church, for a Veterans of Foreign Wars program, for Achievement Day, and for the Senior Play. The highlight in the year for the orchestra came when it entertained the orchestras of the West Shore Music Festival. The orchestras of Muskegon, Muskegon Heights, and Grand Haven were our guests. Approximately one hundred sixty musicians participated in this program. The select orchestra of eighty pieces was the favorite of the evening. Mr. Schestag was chairman of this outstanding event.

The addition of two girl drum majors, Dorothy Pugsiey and Alice Jane Winget, besides the boy drum major, Burton Cargill (all three having snappy, new uniforms), has greatly furthered the attractive appearance of our organization. Under Mr. John Schestag's competent direction, the band has played for football games, not only those at Hart, but also those in which Hart played at Shelby and North Muskegon, for pep meetings and other assemblies, and for basketball games. Other musical events in which the band tcok part include the County May Festival at Hart and the West Shore Music Festival at Muskegon. They will also play for the Hart Homecoming July 2-4. Members of the band, as well as the orchestra, are given the opportunity to take private lessons from Mr. Schestag during the school day. This expert instruction helps to make real musicians out of those who are vitally interested in music. Strike Up the Band Standing: Alice lane Winget.

The arrangement consisted of that of a standard German Band which has five pieces including two clarinets, one trumpet, one trombone, and a sousa-phone. The German Band played at the Congregational Church, an assembly program, and the Carnival. They have progressed rapidly this year and look for more success in the coming years.

Robert Bruckm.in. This year the team was very successful. They took first place at the Apple Judging Contest held in the Civic Auditorium at Grand Rapids, and were awarded a plaque. Twenty schools participated in the contest this year. Hart, Bangor, Sparta, and Shelby placed first, second, third, and fourth respectively. Rollo Royle made the highest individual score of the Hart team and also of the State His score of 892 out of a possible 1,000 was followed up by John Matulis, 813.9, and Lawrence Kelly, 813.6, making a total team score of 2519.5. For the highest score Rollo Royle was presented with a Life Membership to the Michigan State Horticulture Society by the Secretary of the Future Farmers of America, Mr. E. E. Gallup. In the past twelve years Hart has made seven first places. We are looking forward to another successful year in the contest. • ft rh six A group of F. F. A. boys journeyed to East Lansing May 4-5, 1939 to attend the State Future Farmers' Week. Grain judging includes: potato, stock, and grain identification and placing. Delegates from the Hart F. F. A. chapter attended the annual meeting of the State officers and members. Some of the boys found time to inspect the Capitol and the city of Lansing. Burton F. J. Cargill GRAIN JUDGING Grain—the Staff of Life page forty-seven The F. F. A. is a school organization consisting of boys interested in agriculture. It is required that each boy carry a project and an agricultural subject. Under the capable leadership of our president, Ellis May, and aided by Jack Trommater, vice president; Burton Cargill, secretary; James Hill, treasurer; Lavern Hipley, reporter; and Mr. Pesek, adult advisor; we progressed very rapidly. Meetings were held every first and third Tuesday of the month using a formal procedure. The activities include such as these: Hunt Supper in the fail, sponsoring a Harvest Festival, Fish Supper in the spring, a Summer Trip which last year was 2,000 miles long and took in six states: Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Illinois. It lasted seven days. Basketball also was enjoyed by the members and the team played Montague and Shelby. The organization was represented in various events by Martin Misevic, Burton Cargill, and Robert Bruckman, who went to Cadillac for judging, identifying, and grading potatoes; by Rollo Royle, John Matulis, and Lawrence Kelly at Grand Rapids for judging and identifying apples where they placed first with a score of 2,519.5 out of 3,000. Rollo Royle got the highest score of any individual in the state with 892 out of 1,000. In the last twelve years seven first places have been won. Boys represent Hart High in Lansing in May for grain, stock, and potato judging. Representatives are sent to the State and the National Conventions of the F. F. A. held at Lansing and Kansas City. Ellis May and Lavern Hipley were representatives at Kansas in October, 1938. This year a district organization was formed with Shelby and Montague. This entitles us to receive state funds, sponsor district festivals and judging events. Ellis May and Burton Cargill received offices, vice president and reporter, respectively. The F. F. A. boys aided by Mr. Pesek have well carried out our motto, Learning to do and doing to leam. Burton F. J.

Mr. Snow The Safety Patrol organization, sponsored by the Automobile Association of Michigan, has done a fine piece of work this year in protecting the grade children while crossing the streets near the school. The sixteen boys divided into ten patrols and directed by their capable adviser, Mr. Snow, deserve a great deal of credit. The lieutenants of the patrols for last year were: Paul Johnson, Joe Mack, and Walter Hansen; and the captain, Richard Grate. The boys are on duty in the morning before school is called, at noons, and again when school is dismissed for the day. They alternate positions so there will be some one on duty whenever the children are crossing the streets, to and from school. Regardless of the weather; rain, snow, or shine, the boys never fail to be at their posts. fuiffe fortif-nine HOME ECONOMICS If She Could Only Cook Standing, iiit to mciir: Lotlcma Corlis.

The Sophomore girls were again given preference, but some Junior and Senior girls were enrolled. The Junior High students hold class twice a week. The approximate number of Junior High and Senior High students combined is thirty. The work in this department is carried out under the supervision of Miss Edith Rich. In the fall, the Senior High group studied home furnishings. Later, the class started the making of woolen dresses. A short time before Christmas, the time was devoted to making different Christmas gifts. In the class, work consists of preparing foods, of spring garments.

The following officers were lected to take the helm: Bob Tripp, president; Frank Weirich, vice president; Jack Mesick, treasurer; and Mark Sargent, secretary. Later in the year Fred Stevens was chosen secretary because Mark could not ge to the meetings. We had meetings every week and now and then a social gathering. The club was fortunate enough to send its officers to the State Hi-Y conference held in Grand Rapids. We gave our annual Thanksgiving dance and the Father and Son banquet; both were very successful.

The question for debate: Resolved, that the United States should form an alliance with Great Britain, was very interesting and formed a base for some very exciting debates. The club visited a debate tournament in Lansing, entered one in Ionia, and had several practice debates with Ludington, Custer, and Muskegon Central. The affirmative team composed of Edward Hawley, Dick Hutchinson, and Margaret Nichols, defeated Montague but Whitefall forfeited their debate to them. Scottville won over the negative team, Bonnie Beadle, Ward Nelsen and lone Wood, but their spirits rose when they defeated the strong North Muskegon team with Nick Hadiaris debating in Ward's place. The team took second place in the conference league and then the elimination team, Edward Hawley, Ned Hadiaris, and lone Wood, defeated Custer in their first elimination debate but lost to Mesick in the second. All members were presnted with debating keys and the school, with a fine wall plaque from the Detroit Free Press. lone Wood futfjc liflij-li'u JUNIOR PARTY The first party in the new gym was given by the Juniors on December 26. Flowers were used as decorations on the stage and along the walls. During the intermission paddle-pops were served. Music was furnished by the Stoney Lake Orchestra. A good time was enjoyed by all. SENIOR PARTY The Seniors gave their annual party December 16. The gym was beautifully decorated with evergreen branches and a large Christmas tree covered with brightly colored lights and tinsel was placed in the center of the floor. The grand march was led by Gerry Walker and Chuck London around the Christmas tree, after which refreshments consisting of ice cream and cookies were served. The trio offered several selections at that time. SOPHOMORE PARTY On February 3, the Sophomores gave a Valentine Swing at which a large box of candy was given away. The music, consisting of the newest popular tunes, was furnished by our new sound system. The entertainment which was furnished by the teachers was composed of hilarious imitations of certain students. FRESHMAN PARTY The Freshman party was given March 31. The gym was cleverly decorated. Ice cream and wafers were served during intermission, and musical selections were then presented. puye fifty-four HARVEST FESTIVAL The annual Fall Harvest Festival conducted by the F. F. A. was successfully held on the evenings of November 9 and 10. Many fine rural displays were exhibited in the educational and general classes. First prizes were awarded to Smith Comers and Reed schools. Many individuals exhibited plates and other arrangements of apples, pears, com, potatoes, squash, pumpkins, beans and other crops. Awarded to Herbert Zuhl was the sweepstake ribbon for the best plate of. apples displayed at the show. Burton Cargill had the honor to receive the most points based on the prize ribbons. The main event of the first evening was the annual spelling contest, in which only the rural schools entered. The prize went to the Houlk school. Another feature of the evening was a one-act comedy, Prose Preferred, put on by the speech class. The climax of the evening was the showing of two reels of interesting pictures. The main event of the second 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 two reels of interesting pictures. ASSEMBLIES On December 9 the entire school was entertained in the new gym by a magician. He performed many amazing acts which were enjoyed by everyone. On December 21 a Christmas assembly was sponsored by the Freshman Class and supervised by Miss Mildred Green. Music was furnished by a mixed Glee Club directed by Miss Harriet Stout. Miss Stout also led the entire assembly in singing some Christmas carols. A three-act play entitled A Touch of Christmas, was presented by members of the Freshman Class including: Norwood Wicks, Louise Bray, Barbara Fuller, Bette Monton, Gene Timmons, Tom Foster, Betty Verschueren, Joan Brandel, and Bert Momingstar. The band presented a concert under the direction of Mr. Schestag. Members of the speech class entertained the high school on April 6 with a mock broadcast. They displayed great talent. HART HIGH BANNER The Speech Class again undertook the project of publishing the school paper. The Hart High Banner” had a bi-weekly circulation of 225 copies, the money being used for Senior Skip Day. Miss Gibson was faculty advisor. Nancy Corbin was editor and the whole class made up the Editorial Board. page fifty-five SENIOR PLAY w Spring Fever Standing. left to right: lames Stover. Nancy Corbin. |o« Verse hueren.

Mrs. Spangler keeps a rooming house at Brookfield College, and she says, I never know if they're in or out. They come and go so fast you couldn't keep track of them if you were a paid spy. That's more than true on the day before commencement; for in addition to her regular college-boy roomers, their girls keep popping in and out, a few parents and an aunt show up, and the Prexy and Professor Bean find occasion to call several times. And things happen! Spring fever has hit Brookfield. Says Ed, I wish college was always like this. So do we! We've had one evening of spring fever, and we think it's swell! Miss Cecile Reusch, of the English and Latin Departments acted as director.

Willie has interests of his own and these do not include working. Mother Heller (Hannah Fuller) has one ambition and that is to get her daughter, Louise (Lola Mae Fuller), married. When Charles Grant (Garth Masse) appears on the scene, she is assured her ambition is about to be realized Complications arise, however, and it takes the appearance of Mother Grant (Dorothy Wood) and little brother Herbert (Christian Jensen) to finally arrange a happy conclusion. Little sister, Annabelle (Bonnie Beadle), furnished a great deal of the comedy. Miss Calahan (Joan Petersen) also added her bit of humor. The play proved a great success due to the cooperation of the entire cast and the capable director, Miss Vaughn. page fifty-seven CARNIVAL Queen's Court I.mt to Rk.iit: Heibcrt Zuhl. herald; Joan Stevens, Cyril F.rdman, Margaret Mincer.

William Dillingham Coach Olie Olendorf began his eleventh year as a football coach of Hart High with a new assistant, Louis Miesch. The loss of nine lettermen and Mr. Brooks of last year hampered the coach somewhat. However, he soon discovered valuable material among substitutes, reserves, and new men. It may be said that Hart High passed a very successful season considering the amount of green material that Ollie had to whip up into a winning eleven. The trouble seemed that there was not enough reserve material that knew enough about the game so as to act as replacements. The last game with Shelby proved the battle of the season. Out of the 14 games played, our victories exceeded our defeats. We won ten and lost four games. Season Record H. H. S. Opponents H. H. S.

Much praise must be given ''Deck'' for the successful team; also to Mr. Snow and the townspeople for the new gym and their support throughout the season.

Dan Hadiaris, Keith Erdman, and BrBuce Bates also played well, showing plenty of that scrappy fighting spirit so much desired in any athletic.

At the end of the season a tournament was held between the Freshmen, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes. The result of the games in the final elimination was a victory by the Juniors over the Seniors. This was the second consecutive tournament victory for the Juniors. The score was 16-10.

Mr. Olendorf has proved to be a very capable coach. In the last nine years the Hart team has won thirty-four and lost sixteen games. After a late start this year's season went very well. Mr. Brooks, who is now coaching at Howell, was a very efficient assistant. His loss is felt in all sports and school activities. This coming season is already under way and Olie promises a very successful season. With the loss of only one varsity man, Spitler, it seems that we sure have a good chance at the cup. The '39 season boasts a nine game schedule. '38 Record Whitehall H. H. S. 12 Opp. 2 N. Muskegon 2 10 St. Joseph 3 4 Montague 4 5 St. Joseph 6 3 N.

Betty Ver-schueren, a newcomer added color and action to many of our yells. The presence of our cheer leaders was noticed and appreciated at every game, out of town and at home. The girls made a special effort toward having interesting pep meetings so as to enthuse our students to back our teams. Many novelty pep meetings were planned by them and enjoyed by us in our new gymnasium. New yells led in a new way, after many hours of hard practice, made each and every pep meeting and game interesting and different. Our girls did everything in their power to help better the school's sportsmanship and further the students interest in the basketball and football games. TOURNAMENT This year the tournament began with much enthusiasm on the part of the student body and following. The team also entered with vim, vigor, and determination. The District Tournament was held at Fremont this year. Seeing that we were promoted to a class B school, we had to play Fremont High for District Championship. We won. The team fared better this year in the Regional Tournaments at Grand Rapids than ever before. The first game was with Fennville in which our team made a nice showing winning easily. The second for Regional Championship was played with that tough Grand Rapids team. The Pirates did not give up trying until the last gun but were defeated. Basketball Tournament Record H. H. S.

However, a renewal of interest was shown in the team of '39 which has several place winners in it. Mr. Meisch says that with more husky boys who live clean lives, have strong courage, and a keen competitive spirit, there will be much doing in the various meets. Under the capable coaching of Louis Meisch, a new-comer to Hart everyone predicts that this year Hart will have a winning group. Track Meets May 3—Triangle meet with Grant, Hart, and Shelby.
