THE EDITORS OF THE HARTIAN OF 1945 HAVE INCORPORATED HEREIN THOSE THINGS WHICH THEY HOPE WILL PROVE TO BE A TRULY VIVID REMINDER OF THE DAYS WE SPENT TOGETHER AT IIART HIGH SCHOOL. THE SEPARATE PATHS OF THE SENIORS OF ’45 HAVE CONVERGED HERE AT HART HIGH AND FOR FOUR EVENTFUL YEARS WE HAVE TRAVELED THE: SAME PATH. NOW—AS OUR LIFE’S WORK TAKES US OUT INTO THIS WORLD WE ARE AGAIN SEPARATED. THESE DAYS SHALL EXIST ONLY IN THE MEMORIES OF THOSE WHO LIVED THEM AND IN THE PAGES OF THIS HARTIAN.

DON’T LOOK NOW Don’t Look Now was the title of the annual Junior play which was held in late November. It dealt mainly with the Sherman family, their friends and neighbors, the visit of Mrs. Sherman’s rich cousin, a hold-up and robbery. Mr. Sherman’s worries as chief of police, and even the arrival of a common bum — which add up to spell TROUBLE for the Shermans, and lots of laughs for the audience.

Front Row: Marie Zalis, Leolah Ruggles, David Greiner, Shirlee Schlee, Joe Milder, Anna Ridulis. Not in picture, Loretta Ziegler. The plav. Bringing Up Father, follows the cartoon closely. The cast is as follows: Maggie Mahoney—Loretta Ziegler; Jiggs—Joe Milder; Patricia—Leolah Ruggles; Dinty Moore— Walter Churchill; Oswald—Harold Sauser; Mrs. Spaulding Underdunk—Beverly Sittser: Larry O'Donnel—David Greiner; Hope Wharton—Anna Ridulis; Annabel 1 Rose—Betty Jean Hopkins; Rose Adrienne—Marjorie Schrump; Sally Forth—Marie Zalis; Count Pierre Castillian—Don Schaner. Maggie Mahoney insists to be called Margaret, has insisted that Jiggs moves to New York where Patsy may enter society and marry a title. The opening of the play takes place in a mansion on Riverside Drive. Maggie believes she has a voice and goes out of town to appear at a concert. Jiggs seizes this opportunity to have a good time and drifts down to the poorer part of New York. He is attracted by a sign announcing a Labor Meeting and goes up. Because he is attired in a silk hat and tails the laborers mistake him for a capitalist and knock him out. Dazed, he stumbles into a cab and is driven home. He crawls behind a screen and sleeps. Maggie appears unexpectedly the following morning and discovers Jiggs snoring in the drawing room while she is entertaining one of her wealthy friends. To her discomfort, she discovers a girl’s slipper and compact in Jigg’s coat pocket and inside the compact is a note. Jiggs is entirely innocent but appearances are against him. To add to this Dinty Moore arrives from Dubuque, bent on hiring an attractive girl to take back home with him to make candy for a chain of candy stores. When the first applicant arrives the battle is on. Bringing Up Father” needs no introduction. They’ll scream, they’ll love it — just as we do when we read the famous cartoon. { 16} _______________________ The Hartian CARNIVAL OF 45 King Harold Sauser Queen Beverly Sillser The carnival, held April 6th and 7th, was ruled over by King Harold Sauser and Queen Beverly Sittser. Mrs. Van Domelen and Mrs. Hannigan were the directors of the Main Show and most people agreed that it was the prettiest and in general, one of the best main shows ever given. Each class worked hard on their individual shows, which added much more enjoyment to the carnival. Train Bearers: Janet Skinner and Karen Spencer. Geraldine Glover. Florence Trombley, Maxine Greiner.

Front Row: Joyce Hansen, Marjorie Schrump, John Riley, Marilyn Churchill. The adoption of student government was one of the highlights of High School this year. The Junior classes in American history, under the supervision of Mrs. Frost, w'ere responsible for drawing up a constitution. On January 16th, the constitution was brought before the student body to be explained and approved. On the following day the students voted to accept student government under the constitution as written. After allowing several days for the signing of petitions, the voting for president and vice-president of the student government took place. Tom Greiner, Senior, was elected President and Marjorie Flint, Junior, Vice-president. On January 23rd class elections of judges and representatives were held. The judges elected were Walt Churchill, Marjorie Schrump, Seniors; Joyce Hansen, John Riley, Juniors; Marilyn Churchill, Jack Gamble, Sophomores; Fred Riley, Bill Brusstar, Freshmen. The representatives: Joe Milder, Catherine Schaner, Harold Sauser, Seniors; Don Hansen, Duane Bright, McKinley Schrumpf, Doug Gale, Juniors; Pat McClen-nan, Robert John Birke, Betty Sauser, Alan Stover, Sophomores; Dan Sayles, Judy Singer, Marvin Hipley, Edward Lorenz, Freshmen. £24} The Hartian ENTERS HART HIGH . . . . Monitors were picked from all four classes and Don Schaner was appointed head monitor. At this point student government really started to function. .Monitors took over the job of keeping peace in the halls and Study Hall. The Student Council passed a number of good laws and the monitors enforced them. Lawbreakers were given a court summons to appear before the Court, where, if proven guilty, they received a sentence. Almost everybody at once co-operated with the Court and willingly carried out their sentences. The first two court sessions were held in the Movie Room. Dcfendents and witnesses were excused from classes to attend court and the Study Hall furnished interested spectators. Because everybody was interested in seeing the court conducted, the third session was held before the student body in the Study Hall. It proved to be an extremely interesting session. Although there have been many rough edges in its beginning, student government now seems firmly established at Hart High and the students are getting valuable training in the principles of our democracy.

The Hartian FOOTBALL ’44 The pre-season predictions seemed very well fulfilled as Montague came through to win the conference title. The Hart Pirates were no pushover for any of the teams in spite of their fourth place standing at the end of the season. The games in order as played follow: The first game as usual was with St. Mary here. The Hart team show'ed that it had a tight defense. St. Mary scored on one end run, and then again on another play of the same type, but otherwise were bottled up all during the game by a strong Hart line. St. Mary presented an equally tough line which kept our backs from scoring. On the evening of October 6th, a spirited Scottville team came to Hart to be defeated by the score of 7 to 0. Scottville threatened in the last quarter, but was unable to score. Jack Evans plunged over from the first yard line to score the only touchdown of the game. Nothing went right for the Hart team as Montague handed us our first conference defeat. The Wildcats used a hard running attack, and received the first break of the game as Stevens’ fourth down kick was blocked by one of his own men. Our team just couldn’t seem to get going as Montague handed us an 18 to 0 defeat. Neither Hart nor Whitehall could gain consistently on offense, and a very interesting game was played between the 30 yard lines. Stevens got off a beautiful 60 yard punt in the second quarter to keep Whitehall in the hole until the half time had ended. It was not until the last quarter that any drive on offensive was shown by either team, but neither could score as both bogged down when near the goal line. Evans and Birke did the best ball carrying with all the line men turning in excellent performances. A very' fitting description cf the next game would be Fremont Avenges 1943 Hart Defeat.” The Fremont team was just a little too smooth in running out of the T formation for Han to cope with, although the game was closer than the score 31 to 0 would indicate. Lankhorst. the much talked about fullback, did it again, as he went over for two touchdowns; Gotschall passed for the other three. The game started out good for our side with Birke running for 57 yards before being pulled down by Clemens. Fumbles and penalties caused us to be stopped when in critical spots. The score did not justify the Hart team, which battled on Fremont territory a lot of the time. To be beaten in the last quarter by a team you have outplayed the other three quarters is a hard pill to swallow, but nevertheless such was the case as N. Muskegon defeated Hart 13 to 0. Although outweighed, the Hart team was never outclassed. In the third period a bad pass from center caused our drive to be stopped on the 13 yard line. Hart played fine defensive ball. No season would be complete if you did not see the annual Hart vs. Shelby game. Shelby had not defeated Hart in a football game since 1936, so why let them start this year? This was the attitude the Hart boys took as they rolled up a 12 to 0 score against a strong Shelby squad. The Hart offense was clicking this game, and Shelby could not stop it. Birke circled end for 39 yards for the first Hart score. Evans drove over from the one yard line to account for the other Hart score. Evans, Birke and Stevens carried the mail for Hart. And so this football season is past, For many of us it was the last. And now we go into a world not unknown, For into manhood we have grown. To all our rivals we say, Be of good cheer,” For Hart will try again next year. £31] The Hartian Varsity Football Lineup: R. End, Tom Dillingham; R. Tackle, Reynolds Jonassen; R.

TEAM WINS TOURNAMENT Girls basketball was organized under the supervision of Mrs. Olendorf. A team composed of Juniors and Seniors were the winners of the Tournaments. This team consisted of Catherine Schaner, Captain, Marguerite Lathrop, Marva Martin, Virginia Fish, Betty Brimmer, Joyce Hansen and Beverly Ewing. The Sophomore team consisted of Captain Marilyn Churchill, Carol Stevens, Connie Stevens, Pat Loree, Joyce Doering, Beverly Straley, Marvel Shell and Marleen Simon.

The score for the two games were: Juniors and Seniors 52; Freshmen 0. Juniors and Seniors 28; Sophomores 12. £ 33 ] The Hartian___ BASKETBALL The Pirates of this season were either very good or else very poor. The season’s record will verify this for we won 7 and lost 8 games. Also we finished third in the Conference standings. As usual we started the season by playing St. Simon; after a slow start we beat them by a score of 45 to 25. Stevens made 16 and Birke 7 to lead the scoring. Next we took on North Muskegon whom we defeated 28 to 24. Stevens lead with 25 points. We then traveled to Whitehall, and beat the Vikings by the score of 41 to 32. Stevens with 23 lead the scoring and Evans played brilliant defensive ball. The Pirates then went to Fremont and took a 43 to 33 beating. This was a good game as all Hart-Fremont games are. During the Chris:mas holidays we took on Pent-water and won, 51 to 24. Right after school started we went to Manistee, and were beaten soundly to the tune of 45 to 19. They were just too tall. We then went to North Muskegon and played the best game of the year there and beat them 41 to 35. Stevens lead with 15 points. Montague came to Hart and we put on a poor exhibition and were beaten 29 to 23. Shelby came to Hart in one of the highlight games of the year and the Tigers won their first game in 7 years, by the score of 32 to 27. Whitehall gained revenge on us next. They beat us 31 to 30. This was another poor exhibition. We finally snapped out of our slump by beating Scottville up there 44 to 33. Stevens with 18 and Evans with 16 points lead the scoring. Fremont really drubbed us on the return engagement, taking us by the score of 52 to 20. They played very smooth and we couldn’t catch up.

In the last game of the season we went to Montague and were handicapped by the small floor and the sharp eye of the Montague boys. They beat us 38 to 16. In the tournament Shelby made it three straight by beating us 49 to 26. This was the last year for 4 seniors, Evans, Stevens, Hill and Wilson, also one boy who is going into the Service, Max Scheiren. The Second team had a successful season, winning 10 out of 15 games. Well, the team all worked hard and with the returning veterans next year, Hansen, Riley, Birke, Dillingham, and Highland, they should do a lot of damage. Members of the second team who will beat out for varsity competition next year are: Littiebrant, Dawson, Lewis, Gowell, Stover, Hodges, Riley, Jonassen, Lorenz, Keck, and Jim Scheiren.

Greiner's farm in Crystal Township to pick up potatoes and make money to be used on skip day. Thirty-two of those ambitious seniors were glad to get out of school and do some real work for a change. Most of the girls of the class went out to work that day and even Beverly Sittser and Loretta Zeigler came dressed as farmers and ready to work. Long before Joe Gamble got the truck out of the garage to haul the seniors to their day’s drudgery, Tom Greiner was out in the field digging the spuds out of their frost-crusted beds. Before any of the workers came, though, old mother sun had warmed the dirt and dried the vines of the frosty dew. Tom was just cussing at a stone caught in his automatic pitch fork when Don Schaner came to work. Due to the fact that Don was the first one there and also being a native of the potato business, he was appointed straw-boss. It was his job to introduce the new farmers” to the objects called potatoes and to tell them how to distinguish the spuds from rocks which were also plentiful on the Greiner farm. About the middle of the morning the victims began to arrive at the scene of their day’s work. Gamble’s truck came rolling into the field, badly overloaded and speeding like a turtle. Close behind the truck came Hugh Loree with his Ford.” Shirley Schlee came a little later all alone in a big car. Max Trommater had said that he was coming but nobody had seen anything of him yet that morning, rhe workers swarmed into the field like bees and, despite Don’s frantic efforts, some of C3H} The Hartian FOR SKIP DAY the girls insisted on picking up the stones and leaving the potatoes. Just when everyone had gotten to work Max came — better late than never. The art of standing on your feet and bending down to the ground where the potatoes were proved too hard for many and they were soon seen crawling on their hands and knees. Noon came much later than most of us wished but we were all glad when the dinner gong rang. Most of the mumbling heard during the noon hour was due to the fact that water and milk were the only things that could be found to drink. Before going back to work as many as could piled into Hugh's car and went to the metropolis of Crystal for a few bottles of pop. We had just nicely gone back to work when Mr. Purdy came out to take a picture. Bob Straley was so ambitious that it was hard to get him to stop long enough to have the picture taken. Bob picked 125 bushels for the high record w'ith a close race for the record at the other end between Beverly S. and Walt C. who picked up nearly 15 bushels together in the afternoon. At five o’clock the boys who were helping haul the spuds to the storage were too tired to haul any more so everybody had to quit. A total of 1,560 bushels were picked up and the boys who helped haul had worked a total of 25 hours. A total of SI08.60 was earned. Mr. Greiner paid 6 cents a bushel and 60 cents an hour. A week later Catherine Schaner and some of the other girls were still groaning about their aches and pains from picking up potatoes. 09} The Martian PHYSICS CLASS Instructed by Professor J. Horn Brr-ring — the tardy bell. Five minutes later Doug Gale, Tom Greiner and Joe Gamble slip in through the lab door while P. J.” is holding the other door open looking for those darn guys that can’t ever get here on time.” After a little persuasion with his four-foot yardstick, the class settles down in their seats. That is, all but Walt Churchill, who is back in the corner feeding bird-shot to Mr. Horn’s prize aquarium of goldfish. Keith Wilson: Oh Mr. Horn, I’ve got a math problem here for you — two bits says you can’t work it.” Mr. Horn digs deep in his pocket and discovers that’s the one with the hole in it. He finds a quarter in the other one and slaps it down on the table. Before Wilson has time to open his mouth (it was closed) Glenn Streit hands him a court summons for gambling on school premises. After tearing it up and stuffing it down Glenn’s throat, he reads the problem: If it takes a 4 months old woodpecker with a rubber bill 9 months, and 13 days to peck a hole through a cypress log that is large enough to make 117 shingles, and it takes 165 shingles to make a bundle worth 93c, how long will it take a cross-eyed grasshopper with a cork leg to kick all the seeds out of a dillpickle?” By this time Mr. Horn has retrieved his quarter and has it safely back in his good pocket. After the exercises are corrected and grades taken for the day, the class discusses the questions. Dorothy Bedell takes the first one: If you were alone on a desert island, how would you tell which way is north?” After much serious thought and counting on her fingers, she comes to the conclusion. I would wait until the noon whistle blew, then look at my shadow. It would point straight north.” Doug Gale: Moron, there aren’t any whistles blowing on a desert island. You look at the moss on the trees — it grows on the north side.” You’re all wrong,” says Mr. Horn. The answer book says, 'Look at your compass’.” Puck Stevens reads the next one: If the north pole of a bar magnet will pick up 7 tacks and the south pole will pick up 5 tacks and together they pick up 11 tacks, how many tacks can a bowlegged potato bug pick up in 3 hours and 45 minutes with a wind blowing from the southeast at av elocity of 11.3 m.p.h.?” Since Puck had been out with Margie Schrump the night before, his mind was a little dull and he was unable to recall enough of his fifth-grade arithmetic to solve the problem. As no one else knew the answer and Dave Greiner said it would take him at least 6 minutes to work it out on the slide rule, Mr. Horn reaches for the answer book. Look in Drip bead’s International Encyclopedia, 8th edition, book 7, chapter ( section 5, page 4, column 3.” This book is now' obsolete but can be obtained from the INFIRMARY, Traverse City, Michigan!” By now there are only a few minutes left and Mr. Horn has a few experiments he wishes to show the class, so we leave the rest of the questions for the next day. Mr. Horn succeeds in floating a couple of pith-balls a short distance above the exter- {40} The Hartian nal surface of a positively charged chromium cylinder charged by induction from a vulcanite rod rubbed with the hide of a cat. Gordon Hill: Mr. Horn, you’d make a good magician.” A voice in the back of the room (Joe Milder): Yes, any thing but a teacher.” Milder is heading for the nearest door when Mr. Horn calls him back. Pardon me, Mr. Horn, I thought I heard the bell ring. It did ring, but come back here. I haven’t given you your assignment yet.” After he tells us to read the next chapter and do the first 5 problems at the end, the class makes a mad rush for the door, leaving Mr. Horn in a state of mental rheumatism. We extend our sympathy to the 6th hour chemistry class. THE MOVIE ROOM Bock Row: Dan Savles, Charles Schmitts, William Brusstar. Froul Row: Jack Bristle, Norman Wurthner. The theater is situated in the old Agriculture room in tire b .scment. It opened with the showing of The Land of Ghengis Khan” on November 2, 1944. The theater can seat 75 students. Also the theater can show slides as well as morion pictures. The theater was set up by Dan Savles, Bill Brusster, Norman Wurther, Charles Schmitt, and Mr. Horn. Most of the pictures were for individual classes and a few for assemblies. Some of the most interesting pictures were: Man Without a Country.” Symphony of Young America,” Music of Youth,” Recreation of Independence” and many others. Operators are Charles Schmitts, Jack Bristle, Dan Sayies, Bill Brusstar and Norman Wurthner. {41} The Hartian SECOND PERIOD GYM CLASS Maybe you would like to know just what the boys say and do during our famed gym class. Things usually start out with a Bang! as somebody lets go with a shoe aimed at someone else who has his back turned. About this time Olie comes in to break up our little fun. He grabs the door knob just to find that someone has put some stinkin’ liniment” on it; he settles this account with the one who he finds out did it. Then Olie tosses out a few of the old basketballs (just to get us dressed faster). We go upstairs and proceed to start a little game of what some people call basketball, although our aim is knock h---out of the guy with the ball. Glenn Streit’s team is usually way ahead as Ollie comes up to put us through our paces (incidentally Glenn keeps score; say now, maybe that’s why we never win). Then the shrill shriek of a whistle and all motion with the basketball is to stop; but Churchill lakes an extra shot anyway, and Olie saw him. Churchill was a nice fellow, too bad. On your back, feet this way, is the command given by the bald-headed man with the bay window. Naturally no one disobeys as we all w'ant to have the bones of our bodies remain intact. Then comes the worst, as we are to act as if we are riding a bicycle upside down. As Max Trommater makes a crack about how he isn’t going anywhere very fast Olie comes over and kicks him between the handlebars and the fenders. After this and a few other muscle builders” we are ready for climbing the rope. The first thing to try to do is to find an excuse, but since none is acceptable, we perform this laborious task. We finish up our exercises with a little mat work. First comes tumbling. One fellow goes over, two fellows go over, then comes Albert Macy. Albert went over, all right, but missed the mat and landed with his head on the floor. You’ll have to come back and fix the dent you made in the floor,” says Olie as he motions Albert out of the way. It is all ended with six laps around the gym. Now don’t get us wrong; we don’t mean we have to lick up anything. All we have to do is run around the gym six times. We’re lucky Olie is a teacher and can’t count over four, we cheat him out of more running that way. Well, so ends a perfect gym class day as Mr. Olendorf boots Tom Greiner between the second and third laps. {42) Top Row: Joe Gamble, Glenn Streit, Tom Greiner. Middle: Joe Gamble, Tom Greiner, Botom: Max Trommater, Tom Greiner. The Hartian INTERNATIONAL GOVERNMENT CLASS At 8:45 the class begins to sift into the classrocm. At 8:50 Olie begins to take roll. As usual Wilson and Stevens are heme sleeping but outside of these two everyone is presenr. The class begins and Olie decides that it is too blamed hot in here” and opens up a few windows. The fact that it is ten below zero outside has no bearing on the matter — Olie is too hot. It is now 9:00, so in walks Wilson with a white excuse. Immediately Olie rolls forth with a five minute oration about what would happen if he was the principal. Everybody silently thanks God that he isn’t. It’s 9:05, the class begins to settle down. In fact a few have gone to sleep. Olie discovers that Milder is snoozing, so he asks him a question that Joe Wouldn’t have known even if he was awake. Joe stammers around and finally ends up asking Olie if there is any basketball practice this morning. Olie puts a mark in his little green book which means that Milder is due to take a beating during gym class. The first question asked by Olie is What is the capital of Turkey?” Milder raises his hand and says, Athens,” which is wrong. The next question is, Name the capital of Italy.” Again Milder answers Athens. Wrong. So Olie asks for the capital of Greece. Milder remains silent. Suddenly from the rear of the room a peal of laughter is emitted. Sittser just caught on to a joke told to her the day before. This delays class considerably. Now it’s 9:30 and since the frost is an inch thick on the students in the first two rows, Olie decides it’s cool enough and closes the windows. Then the three-minute bell rings — my how time does fly. Olie gives us the next assignment and we’re through for another day. HOLLAND HOP The one outstanding event of the year which probably causes more excitement and longing is the Junior-Senior banquet and J-Hop. This combined evening affair was named the Holland Hop this year and fulfilled all the previous anticipations. The Dutch theme was carried out in the decorations, menu cards in Dutch, place cards and souvenirs. The banquet was held in the Masonic Hall. Rev. Fr. Sydlowski gave the invocation; the welcome by Lenore Peterson, the Junior President; the response by Jean Kennedy, the Senior President; a short inspiring address on Character” by George W. Powers. In the Gym amidst the windmills, stone-outlined paths, wooden shoes and tulips and to the merry tunes by the Roger Dancz Orchestra the guests danced the Wooden Shoe Shuttle, the Windmill Whirl, the Canal Glide, the Hans an’ Gretel Slide, etc. At the midnight hour the party dispersed, feeling that the entire evening had been one of real pleasure to add to the happy school memories of the year. {43} The Hartian____________ .

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY The Freshman class this year is composed of some fifty-six members, many of whom live in the country and are experiencing their first year in Hart High School. At the beginning of the year we were given six subjects from which we were to choose four which we desired to take. These subjects were English, Literature, Biology, Algebra, Latin, Civics, Vocations, and Mechanical Drawing. In Literature we have been reading short stories and essays, instructed by Mrs. VanDomelen. The biology class was fortunate this year in having preserved animals for dissection. Although this did not at first appeal to the more squeamish members of the class, it provided valuable information in the anatomy of the various animals, fish, and insects we dissected. We have also studied all animals and nearly all plants. This class is instructed by Professor Horn. The other classes are Algebra, taught by Mrs. Hill, and Mrs. Hannigan; Latin, taught by Mrs. Burdick; Mechanical Drawing, instructed by Mr. Snow; and Civics and Vocations taught by Mrs. VanDomelen.

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY The Freshmen Class began with a large sum of ninety pupils. The country students were sort of shy and lost at first, but it wasn’t long before they overcame this. Mr. Horn was our advisor and we have a fine co-operative class. The first thing we did was to choose our class leaders for the year: Leonard Amstutz. President; Charles Schmitts, Vice President; Julia Balavitch, Treasurer; Betty Sauser, Secretary. The show Horn’s Corn, which the Freshmen put on at the Carnival went over with a big bang. The Freshmen have helped considerably conducting the Friday night recreational center called Fun Fest. We arrived at school again now as Sophomores with a group of sixty-seven silly, sophisticated, but smart (?) students. A small class, we became still smaller when four left during the year. At class elections we elected W allace Reid as our President; Dorothy Avery, Secretary; and Julie Balavitch, Treasurer. Dorothy Avery resigned later on account of being a Junior now and Alice Buchnius was elected secretary in her place. In full swing we entered in the Carnival. The name of our show was On the Air, and it was a success. We had our Annual school party which was enjoyed by the whole High School.

They elected class officers; winning candidates were Wilma Beadle, President; Dan Highland, Vice-President; Carol Taylor, Secretary; Richard Hinchman, Treasurer. Later, under the supervision of Mrs. Hannigan, class advisor, they put on a Carnival side show, Corny Capers, which was a great success. They also sponsored a high school party later in the spring. Two years ago, as Sophomores, they started the school by again electing class officers. Those chosen were President, Betty Zalis; Vice-President, Max Scheiern; Secretary, Hugh Loree; Treasurer, Don Hansen. Immediately following they opened the school’s social life with the Sadie Hawkin’s Jamboree, annual Sophomore party, under the direction of their class advisor, Miss Woldt. Spring again found them putting on a Carnival side-show, Katy’s Kafe, with Mrs. Hannigan assisting the students. This past year, united as Juniors, they chose class officers for a third time, Max Scheiern, President; Marjorie Flint, Vice-President; Don Hansen, Secretary, Lyle Converse, Treasurer; with Miss Dodge as class advisor. It was their job to sponsor dime dances and this they did successfully. They also sold Christmas and Greeting Cards and participated in the Magazine Sales, at the same time working hard to make the Junior Play, Don’t Look Now, a success. It proved just that, thanks to Mrs. Burdick’s able supervision. In January, they elected representatives and judges to serve in the Student Council and the Student Court. Representatives were Don Hansen, McKinley Schrumpf, Douglas Gale. Judges — Joyce Hansen and John Riley. Lenore Peterson was the newly elected Vice-President. On March 9th, they held the first high school party of the year. This year, for the first time, guests were admitted with special permission. The gym was decorated to represent the seasons of the year. A gay-nineties melodrama in pantomine was given during the intermission. Both the skit and refreshments were enjoyed by all. The J-Hop, which we sponsored in May, will be found elsewhere in the book. CLASS OFFICERS a: a a Pres.

Our first step was our Freshman year at Hart High in 1941-42. The class officers were: President, Puck” Stevens; Vice President, Jo Ann Leemhius; Treasurer, Joe Gamble; and Secretary, Loretta Ziegler. In the spring we gave the All-School Party. The next step was our Sophomore year, and was under the supervision of Mr. Decker. The first meeting of the year was for the election of officers. Those elected were: Robert Straley, President; Joe Gamble, Vice President; Helen Osten-Sacken, Secretary; and David Greiner, Treasurer. We ended our year with a party, April Antics” for the entire school. Yes, Juniors we were and had made it to the third step, which contained many important events. Our leaders for that year: Joe Gamble, President; Catherine Schaner, Vice President; Betty Jean Hopkins, Secretary; and Robert Straley, Treasurer. Some of the activities we had were: Junior Play, Oh, My Stars”; sideshow at the carnival, called Styles of the Miles”; selling Christmas cards; and dances after the football and basketball games. We gave the seniors a farewell with Floral Fantasy,” one of the best J-Hops ever given. Now we have reached our fourth step, loosing some of the boys from our class to the armed forces, leaving 41 graduates standing on the top step. Our leaders through our Senior year were: President, Jean Kennedy; Vice President, Jack Evans; Treasurer, Loretta Ziegler, and Secretary, Leolah Ruggles. Ways for raising money were picking up potatoes, putting on the Christmas dance, the Senior Play, Bringing Up Father,” and the St. Patrick’s dance. We owe Mrs. Frost a great deal for the guidance and understanding she has given us in helping us up the steps.

In the crystal we saw ourselves on a trip about the United States, traveling from city to city and then back to the home town of our Alma Mater where we visited with our friends. We were very proud at what we saw, and so shall hereby give you an inside view of the class of ’45 five years hence: We started our trip by traveling around Chicago, and upon seeing the new ”Flame-Glo” Lipstick Laboratory, we entered and whom should we see but our chemist, Walt Churchill. Also while in Chicago we went shopping at Speigel’s Clothing Store and imagine our surprise when we saw Harold Sauser in — of all places — the Better Fitting Corset department. He’s floor-walker. Our next stop was New York City. While walking down Broadway we came face to face with the year’s most popular Cover Girl, Helen Osten-Sacken, cute as ever. And whom do you think we met on Fifth Avenue? None other than Naomi Lydens. She told me that she’s still seeking a secretary's position, you know — the kind that sits more often on the boss’s lap than on her own chair. On our stop-over in Washington, D. C., we met Richard Greiner who was on his way to an important meeting with General MacArthur, but stopped long enough to say, Hello and discuss the weather. Later on we met Don Schaner. He’s replaced J. Edgar Hoover as head of the F. B. I. Returning to Chicago by plane we met some of our friends. Keith Wilson is Master of Ceremonies for the Dye’n Shine Shoe Polish. Joe Gamble was on the plane, too. It seems he’s about to reach his heart’s desire. In the near future he expects to be promoted to the position of Admiral in the U. S. Navy. We also saw Jack Evans, who’s fast becoming the second Lou Gehrig of the Yankee Team. On Michigan Avenue in Chicago we met Gordon Hill. He’d just received his P. F. C. stripes and was in his Seventh Heaven. While visiting a night club one evening we met Florence Trombley and a host of her friends. I was told she’s L Sapiens Femma” of Cafe Society. Oh yes! While visiting one of Chicago’s hospital’s — just a friendly visit, I assure you — we met Marjorie Schrump. As head nurse of the third floor she has the blood pressure rising in all of her men patients. It’s that charming smile. In San Francisco we met Bob Stralcy, and 1 can tell you; he’s upholding the Navy tradition — a girl in every port. We saw Marva Martin too. Tonight she is attending the promotion of her husband from Captain to Major in the Marine Air Corps. Was she thrilled! We had a glimpse of Betty English who soon leaves for India where she will be a Medical Missionary. While driving across the Golden Gate Bridge, we thought we saw someone familiar and stopped. Sure enough! It was David Greiner. He’s a Construction Engineer and was giving the bridge a thorough-goingover. We were dashing around Hollywood and met Beverly Sittser. Golly! She’s starred again with Fred Astaire in their latest picture Dancing on a Star” — and how! Imagine whom we saw in Reno? None other than Maude Weirich. It’s her second trip. She’s as devilish now as she was while a Senior back at Hart High. During our sojourn in Battle Creek we stopped in at the Percy Jones Hospital. There we met the head nurse. Marguerite Lathrop. She had-a lot of work on her The Hartian CLASS PROPHECY desk — plus her fan mail (as usual)—but quit her work long enough to chat over old times with us. While strolling around Michigan State’s Campus we met their star cheerleader, Marie Zalis. She’s really the Cheerleader. We also found out that a classmate of yore, Jean Kennedy, is their Chemistry teacher. Conversing with her were Anna Ridulis, leading diectician at Michigan State, and Marie Peterson. Marie really has a chance to display her talents for she’s leader of Michigan’s Debate Team. While in Benton Harbor we met Hugh Loree. Now he can let his whiskers grow, as he’s assistant to Queen Mary and King Ben of the House of David. Imagine while driving through Ferry to see Loretta Ziegler walking down the street with a redhead hanging on to each hand. Should have expected it, shouldn’t we? On beholding the sight we stopped at the store there and who but Catherine Schaner stood behind the counter. Lyle was there too, so we know it was permanent. Stopping at our former rival, Shelby, we met several friends. Betty Van Tassel and Harold Gibbs came out of the furniture store with a big smile on their faces. They’re buying for their new home. Shirlee Schlee was in her car calling Wayne a so and so because he couldn’t find a baby buggy large enough to hold their quadruplets. He has decided to make one. We’re on the last lap of our journey now. Upon passing the Hawley fruit farm we saw' Max Trommater in the yard. When asked the meaning he explained that he and Bill Simon are Co-operators of it. Incidentally, they are doing very good. Home at last and w'e find the town some changed. For instance, we walk into a store and the first thing we see is Joe Milder; guess C. D. B. has retired. Betty Jean Hopkins comes in and introduces herself as Mrs. Gowell.” Reckon we all know who the boss is. She gave us some of the news of the town. I.eolah Ruggles and Gene are happily settled in Crystal Valley where she spends her time helping her little Boundy’s” over life’s bumps. Lllen Lydens has her sailor home for keeps plus the ring to match her diamond. Deloris Love met that handsome sailor she w'as writing to, who’s been stationed in the Marianas. They left a short time before for their honeymoon. Naturally w'e visited our Alma Mater. Imagine our surprise at finding Virginia Fish here as Physical Education teacher. Charles Stevens keeps her company. He’s taken over Ollie’s job as athletic coach of Hart High. We see that a couple new stores have sprung up in Hart. One is the Sock’em and Sack’em Pool Room. Needless to say Glenn Srreit is the proprietor. The other is a beauty parlor where Dorothy Bedell is boss w'hile A1 is away at work. As we left her shop we met Jacqueline Halberg. It seems she’s home on a visit from Benton Harbor while her husband finishes up some business in Chicago. He’s a relative of the Vanderbilts. Can you feature this? We met Ralph Peacock and he told us he’s just taken out a life insurance policy. About time, too. Remember his coasting at 100 m. p. h.? Anyway he took us northeast of Hart, where we visited Tom Greiner and Marilyn Churchill’s farm. They’re coming right along in the world. Well, classmates, you have just read what we saw in the Crystal and we hope you are pleased and that success accompanies each of you in your future activities.

Tonight marks the end of our high school days and wt are happy to have all of you here for various reasons. It is only natural that the people responsible for our education should witness our commencement. We welcome you, our parents, who have so earnestly guided us and impressed upon us the need for a high school education. It has been due to your untiring efforts that many of our class have remained with us to graduate tonight. We welcome you, our teachers, who have withstood our pranks and joking and assisted us in our studies, often when we could not see any sense in the work we were doing or realize its importance. We extend our welcome to you as taxpayers, for we realize it is through the school taxes you have paid that we have been offered the opportunity of these four years at Hart High. In appreciation of your interest in the school, which has meant so much to every one of us, we wish you all a pleasant evening. Joe Gamble VALEDICTORY We, the seniors of 1945, have reached the climax of our high school life. It seems only yesterday that we enrolled as freshmen, standing in awe of the mighty seniors As sophomores we felt quite grownup as we viewed the mere freshmen.” Our busy junior year passed swiftly, but still graduation seemed in the far-distant future. That our senior year has come and gone is incredible. In our hearts there lies the feeling of sadness which always exists when loved ones are separated. But such is the fabric of life, woven and interwoven with separations. As swiftly rushing water flows ever faster as it approaches the brink, so must we make each swiftly passing minute count toward making our lives honorable and worthwhile before we reach the chasm between this world and the unknown. You — our parents, teachers, and friends — have given us a foundation upon which we may build our lives righteously. The rest is up to us. For twelve years, you — our dear parents — have gisen us, often by self-denial and sacrifice, the opportunity of securing an education. You — our teachers — have worked arduously to teach us, and your guidance and counsel have been invaluable. You have set us commendable examples to follow. To our parents and our teachers we owe a debt of gratitude we can never fully repay, but we want you to know that we deeply appreciate all that you have done for us. To you — the people of this community — we owe a debt of gratitude for providing the facilities by which we obtained our education, and for your loyal support of our school activities. We are also indebted to our underclassmen. We have enjoyed our association with you and regret that they have come to an end. You have played a definite part in the school spirit, and thoughts of you will linger in the memories of our high school days. Fellowclassmates, this is our last participation in any event as a class. We will now each go our own separate way, each to follow his own life’s pattern. Let us keep in mind our class motto— We are architects of Fate, building on the walls of Time.” Through the efforts of you — our parents, teachers, and friends — and by Divine Providence, we now possess the implements with w'hich we may build our future. We stand on the threshold of a great adventure. No one knows what the future holds. Undoubtedly, all of us shall meet disappointments, but we will rise above them, stronger because of them. The lives of people who have become immortal through the service they have rendered their fellow-men give us an incentive to aim for the higher things in life. To us, the world seems within our grasp; nothing seems really impossible. We are inspired to climb to far-off heights. We have the high ambitions and the dauntless enthusiasm, the intense eagerness and the zeal of youth. Because youth is like that, it gives hope and promise. We will meet life’s challenge with the indomitable courage of youth. We have a great task ahead of us, but we will not fail!

The staff worked very well together and turned out many excellent editions. The paper was issued bi-weekly at a cost of three cents per copy and approximately one hundred dollars were earned by the class for the year. In the publications besides the regular articles were many cleverly written interesting features and articles, some informative and some educational. In March the Seniors edited an issue for fun, as they hadn’t done so yet. With Walt Churchill as Editor and Harold Sauser as Assistant Editor, they published a very interesting Banner much enjoyed by all. Fun Fest The Fun Fest, which was started last year, was continued during the summer months, and almost every Friday night of the school month on which there was no game. Fun Fests are usally well attended by students of our school as well as a few from other communities. There are all types of recreation provided, including dancing, table tennis, darts, checkers, carroms, and other games. An admission fee of five cents is charged, and as often as possible soft drinks are sold. The success of the Fun Fest is shown by the attendance of the students, and it is certainly a worthwhile addition to our community. New Record Set In Magazine Sales The all-school magazine campaign conducted this year netted S491.57, the largest amount ever earned. This was the fifth annual campaign. The money earned was put into war bonds to be used at a later date. The prize given to the classroom with the greatest number of sales was a theater party. The people of this community use this opportunity to buy their magazines through the school, realizing they are helping the school and thereby helping the whole community. Season’s Sensations The Junior Party, which was named Season’s Sensations, was held in the high school gymnasium Friday night, March 9th. The party started at 8:00 and ended at 12:00. One corner of the gymnasium was decorated like winter, having a snowman, and thin ice signs. The other side had a beautiful arbor on which were many colorful flowers. Dancing was enjoyed because of many new records. The Grand March was led by Bettv Zalis and Max Scheiern. After this refreshments of fruit punch, cheese crackers, and cookies were served. The skit, Evil Overcome, was very amusing. £78} The Hartian ADVERTISERS The Senior Class of 1945 wishes to express its appreciation to making this Hartian of 1945 one of the best.
