Ex LIBRIS FOREWORD OUR NATION IS NOW FIGHTING A GREAT WAR. BUT IN THIS ENORMOUS TASK OUR LEADERS WORK NOT ALONE. EVERY GROUP, EVERY SECT, AND EVERY INDIVIDUAL IS GIVING THEM AID AND SUPPORT. THE AMERICAN SCHOOL, THAT GREAT INSTITUTION WHICH COULD NOT FLOURISH AS IT DOES EXCEPT IN A DEMOCRACY, UNITES WITH THE REST TO DO ITS PART. WE, THEREFORE, PLAN THE HARTIAN FOR 1942 EVER MINDFUL THAT, IN THE IMMORTAL WORDS OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN, “----THIS GOVERN- MENT OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, AND FOR THE PEOPLE, SHALL SHALL NOT PERISH FROM THE EARTH.” Ji pi edge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all” THE HART IAN o f 19 4 2 Published by the Senior Class of Hart High School Hart, Michigan Barbara Fuller____ Richard Birke_____ George Kyncl______ Howard Dalman ..... ... Editor Business Manager Advertising Manager --------------Adviser [3] [4] BOOK I the STUDENTS Whereas a democracy is based on certain ideal principles, not the least of which recognizes that even the least are as important as the greatest in terms of equal opportunities, freedom, and happiness, we list the lowly seventh graders first, followed by the other grades in ascending order. Even the haughty seniors must take their places in turn. On the premise then, that the schools play such an important part in the life of this great democracy it is fitting that we base our theme on the familiar slogan. We take the liberty to substitute “students” for “people” not because the word “people” docs net pertain to those in school but because the word “students” limits the meaning to those in school.

A boy scout for his country, A classmate in his school, A friend to all who knew him. His motto, The Golden Rule. We miss his cheerful smile. His absence makes us sad, But our memory glows brightly Of this kind and cheerful lad. —Wanda Berger In memory of Frank Dillingham Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Dillingham, who was born March 16, 1924; and who passed away at his home on May 5, 1938, while in the ninth grade, we, the class of '42, dedicate this portion of our yearbook. Junior will always remain in our memories as a boy whose trust in human nature, love of outdoor life, sweetness of disposition and whose joy in living could be outranked by no one. Junior found and made happiness wherever he was and in whatever he did. His happy carefree presence is missed by all who knew him. [20] COUNTY NORMAL The year 1941-42 for Oceana County Normal began with an enrollment of twenty. Officers elected were: President, Dorcas Hogston; Vice President, Margaret Nichols; Secretary, Ixona Hux; Treasurer, Aubrey Weirich. The students were from Muskegon, Rothbury, New Era, Shelby, Hesperia, and Hart. The teachers were: Miss Pearl C. Bigge, Miss Loretta Locher, Mr. Leonard Peterson, Mears. Earned by each student were: Red Cross First Aid, Teachers Palmer Method Penmanship, and State Teacher’s Certificates. The social calendar was a full one. The first big event was the “Teacher’s Institute,” with a schedule very similar to that of a State Institute. The “Show Boat,” a variety program, was presented for the public on February 3, 1942. Mothers of the children in the Training Room were hostesses at a tea given for the students. Another event looked forward to by the group took place on March 20, when they visited the rural schools in the County. To end the year the group went to Chicago on “Skip Day.” Thus ended the year with hopes for a successful teaching career. Top Row: Shirlee Kenstner. Wanda Heistund. Edith Mittccr, Phyllis Wieber.

A wide range of activities, including music, dramatics, journalism, and athletics, are undertaken by the students.

Danny Highland Who comprehends his trust, and to the same Keeps faithful tcith a sint lcncss of aim. —William Wordsworth. Safety Patrol 1 he Safety Patrol was organized at the beginning of the year under the direction of Mr. Snow with Marland Littiebrant as captain and Danny Highland as Lieutenant. The members of the Safety Patrol were selected from the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades. Even as young as they are they learn to accept and to carry out responsibility. Theirs is the important task of protecting the children of our school while crossing the streets. Their presence on the street corners makes us more safety conscious. In all kinds of weather, rain or shine, you will find them standing faithfully at their posts. In cold weather they will be bundled up to withstand the blizzards, in rainy weather they don their white raincoats and caps. This organization, probably more than any ; other, will uncover the good qualities of a boy. Those who are not willing to serve soon drop out, but those who have what it takes arc faithful in fulfilling their duty throughout the year. We want them to know we appreciate their services.

Fanny Schramm “The debating -activities of Hart High School arc just another example of what is being done in the school to prepare the students for a life in a democratic society, for here the students learn how to analyze the important questions facing the country today, and learn how to express their own personal opinion which is vital in the operation of a true democracy” —George Kyncl. Debate i With his ranks riddled by the graduation of all of the members of last year’s semi-finalist squad, and with only one experienced debater left, Coach Shinn and his green squad marched on to another successful season which will Ik written in the annals of the school's history. Since the West Michigan Conference Debate League was dissolved, the Hart orators entered into the Preliminary Series sponsored by the State Forensic Association. Here they met tougher competition than they had expected and lost their first debate to an experienced Grant team. Then the team got its bearings and defeated Whitehall and Grant in the next two debates. The last debate was won from Greenville by forfeit, thus giving the Hart team a record of three victories against one defeat, entitling them to a University of Michigan Wall Plaque Trophy, which is the fourth won by the school in as many years. At the State Elimination Tourney held at Cirant, they defeated Grant again, but lost to a strong Wyoming Park team. Those who earned their keys for having taken part in at least one of the Preliminary debates are: Freshmen, Bob Straley and Mary Leisenring; Sophomore, Pat Coulier; Juniors, Martha Ann Hawley and Jeanne Northrup; Seniors, Evelyn Fetters, and George Kyncl. With such a fine crop coming up, Mr. Shinn is assured of a fine debate team in the future. [29] Top Row: Mr. Eggert. Harold Tate. Bill Leslie. Boyd Trommnter, Puul Bolavitch. Mitchell Levan- dowski.

Proceeds earned will be used to pay for the lights at the football field and for Midwest Assemblies next year. Wanda Berger [39] 1401 “A study of the history of athletics in the secondary schools shows that it found its place as the result of a desire and an urge in the hoys and girls themselres for physical activity and expression, and not as a result of the wisdom and planning of educators.

[47J DEDICATION As graduation approaches, the Seniors look back over those years in high school, remembering. One person in particular will be remembered for the many friends he has among the senior class. To let Mr. Lawrence Decker know a little of our appreciation for his help and comradeship we, the class of 1942, dedicate this our Hartian to him. We are happy to have had him as our science teacher, we appreciate all that he has done for us as our basketball coach. [48] BOOK III Many factors must be considered in evaluating the school. Facilities which require careful planning must be arranged by the community and the State for the students. Undoubtedly the most important factor in a good school is the classroom teacher, for the teacher is the heart of the school. The duty of the administration is to serve so that the learning process can function most efficiently. The board of education is established to carry out the wishes of the people of the community in the policies of the school. Tlie buildings make it possible for us to have schools as we know them. All of these are for the students. [49] FACULTY MR. HUBERT SHINN Hart High School A. B.

THIfiTy-SIX WEEKS of fun flfiD Seniors End High School Career The Seniors have had an eventful four years of parties, plays, elections, ami other education. As Freshmen in 1938 39, the class of ninety-six students elected as their officers: President, Harrison Gale; Vice-President. Alice Jean Simon; Secretary, Gene Timmons; Treasurer, Wanda Berger. They gave the Spring All-School Party in March. In 1939 the class assembled as Sophomores with eighty-nine members. Election was held electing Her-slid Lurie, President: Louise Dillingham, Vice-President: Leonora Decker, Treasurer; and Helen Butler, Secretary. 'I he class entertained in March with a St. Patrick’s Party. The class began its Junior year in the fall of 1940 with an enrollment of ninety, and Mr. Malette as class adviser. At their first class meeting officers were chosen for the year; President, Barbara Fuller; Vice-President Tom Nobles; Treasurer, George Kyncl; and Secretary, Theda Cummins. Aunt Susie Shoots the Works, a mystery farce was the Junior Play presented on November 19. Miss Phyllis Gibson capably directed the play and it was a tremendous success. In the spring the class planned the Junior-Senior Banquet and Dance with a southern theme; it was named The Cotton Hall. This year the Seniors chose as leaders: President, Jean Hill; Vice-President. Stan SeelhofT: Secretary, Louise Bray; Treasurer, Tom Nobles; Barbara Fuller as editor of the Haitian. and George Kyncl as Advertising Manager of the Hartian. Events of the year were the Senior party, “Snow Flurries,” and the Senior play The Nutt Family,” a farce. Miss Mabel Vaughn capably directed the play and it proved a success. Class Song Time was when we were kids on the school yard swings. Now we’ve received graduation rings, And start our life anew, Time was when we were freshmen and wondered how, We’d ever get to l.e seniors now. When we were in Hart High. Picnic and school plays and planning on skip days, And hoping for fun. Contests and debates and maybe some new dates, And now that all these are done. Seniors every tomorrow will he complete. If all our mem'ries are half as sweet, As all our time was then. Leonora Decker •Jean Hill (Music to “Time Was”) Juniors Excel in School Activities The Junior class with the guidance of Mr. Malette has completed a year of successful events. In September, shortly after school began, nominations were filed for class election and the campaign Ih� -gan. Officers chosen at the election were: President, Jeanne Northrup; Vice-President, Martha Ann Hawley; Secretary, Jeanette Peacock: and Treasurer. Dick Grate. The Football Fling, a unique title for an enjoyable party, was planned by the class. The class chose as their play. Laughing Has. a hilarious comedy which proved itself a successful, entertaining play. The main event of the year was the Junior-Senior Banquet and Dance. The Juniors decided upon a Hawaiian theme and named it Aloha Oe. ALOHA OE This year the Juniors hade farewell to their upperclassmen, those dignified Seniors, with leis, palm trees, and life-savers. The Junior-Senior Prom, an event anxiously awaited by all, was Hawaiian, with a ship leaving these beautiful islands. A banquet was held at the Congregational Church at 0:30. The Sophomores served the delicious meal. Following this, a toast was given to the Juniors by the Senior Class President, Jean Hill; and Jeanne Northrup, Junior Class President, gave a toast to the Seniors. In the gym a few hours later, everyone was dancing under silvery stars and the soft rays of a beautiful Hawaiian moon. Music was furnished by Frank Lockage and his orchestra. And so, Aloha Oe.” Seniors. Junior High Hoopsters The “Kindergarten” squad showed plenty of scrappy fighting spirit by winning six games, losing two, and finishing second in the Conference.

Salute to Our School Still the schoolhouse stands in the very same place, A white brick building with a happy welcome face. The green doors are flung open wide As we step from the warmth within to the cold outside. With memories taking command of our heart and happiness in our eyes. YVe stand a moment gazing back. how quickly school days My! Each will choose his path, then plod his way. But halting a moment we turn and say: “In our heart will always remain the picture of our school, Our own dear Alma Mater, whose law was the Golden Rule. When the curtains of lifetime are closing, ami God pins them with a star We’ll remember you, dear friends and teachers, no matter where you are. We chose for our class colors, the famous Red, White ami Blue. Red. f°r pure blooded Patriots; White as a friendly hue: Blue, for true Americans with never a waver.

((Continued on page 7.' ) [58] Valedictory A forest far-reaching, peaceful and cool Stands silently waiting at the hush in the air The trees hy the breeze swayed gently, so gently Receives from the wind a seedling laid there. Cleansed by the rain, falling softly from Heaven. Surrounded hy friends, strong, straight, and true. Warmed by the sun shining brightly, so brightly That seed growing bravely reaches upward to blue. We are each a tree in the Forest of Life And like a tree we slowly grow tall. Strong we must he, courageous, sincere, Always loyal in our trust, in our living ne’er small. But we need something more than just an ideal. We need strong hands and kind to guide us always. And Barents, you are like the tall trees in the forest. Sheltering and steadfast all through the days. Ajs a tree has the sun to strengthen its limbs We have you, Teachers, to give us this: Answers for our problems, sympathy, and patience. So we may sincerely say, “What a Friend a Teacher is.” Barents and Teachers, our loyal thank's accept For the truly great gifts you have rendered, And may we prove ourselves worthy of these As we live our lives strongly and never surrender. Ours is the challenge to go forth in life. To conquer it, to glory in the strength of it. Fellow Students, shall we fail to prove ourselves worthy? Their pride will go with us, their hopes we shall covet. Our time spent here was not wasted, nor vain. Regrets we leave behind us, new hopes we now create. Games we’ve played squarely; achievements won fairly; And now in parting we say, “What a joy to graduate.” —Barbara Fuller Salutatory Address Parentis Teachers, Taxpayers, and Other Friends: We welcome you here this evening to partake with us in a great celebration. a celebration which is yours as much as ours. It is a celebration marking the climax of twelve years of your efforts to provide us with an education so that we might become I letter citizens of a land where a government of the people, by the people, and for the people has not perished from the earth. For twelve years you. our parents, by your sweat and toil, and by your kindly counsel, gave us the means and the incentive to secure that education. For twelve years you, our teachers, withstood our pranks and follies and gave us that education which our parents desired us to have. For twelve years you, tlie taxpayers, dug deep in your pockets to provide us with the facilities by which we could secure that education. For twelve years you. the businessmen, have cooperated with us so that our many enterprises could become a success. Without the cooperation of each and every one of you, the attainment of our goal would have been impossible. There are no words in the English language which can express our sincere and heartfelt appreciation. There is not much for us to say, but there is a lot for us to do. We know what lies ahead. We know that there shall he no victory without labor. You have given us tl� o tools, it is up to us to help finish the job. —George K ifn cl Band The band this year gained twelve and lost twenty members.

Girls' Glee Club The Girls’ Glee Club, under the direction of Miss Stephanie Ryznar, has had a successful year. Tryouts were held shortly after school started and alxmt forty were admitted to the organization. Thirty-six finished the year and received credit. Officers chosen for the year were: President, Barbara Lathrop; Secretary. Bernadette Ziegler; Treasurer. Betty Rider; and Librarian, Joan Braudel. The Glee Club sang at the Oceana Teachers Institute. Rotary Club, Commencement Exercises, and gave a concert in May. Because of the many activities crowded into the year, it has decided to just give a concert and omit the operetta. Girls' Quartette The Girls’ Quartette, a new musical group, was added this year. Under the direction of Miss Ryznar it is composed of Alice Simon. Ruth Jean Moore, Anita Shogren. ami Bernice Simon. It was decided to have a quartette instead of trio, for variety. The quartette has proved itself as successful as the trio. They have sung at the Rotary Club. Hospital Auxiliary Meeting, Christmas Chocolate. High School Program, and Woman's Club. Many selections were sung by the quartette, among which are: Molly Malone; Elmer’s Tune, Sophisticated Swing, Blue Skies, Any Bonds Today, Rosary, and London-derry. The quartette is an excellent combination of voices and was enjoyed by its audiences.
