Frost 5 0761007 . . . With the sincere hope that all will derive some pleasure or fond memory from it, we, the Seniors of 1947, present this, our Hartian. We have attempted to recapture in these pages some of the treasured moments that we have shared together in Hart High School. Whether in actual study, participating in activities, or even just attending parties and games, we have enjoyed such good times that they have left their mark of pleasure in our hearts. We are all about to choose our own pattern around which we shall build our lives. Regardless of what course we choose, the v many friends we have made here shall always hold their own definite place in it. The valuable assistance obtained through our faculty will be a constant reminder to perform all our tasks to the best of our ability and will help us to cut a clearer and smoother pattern. Mindful of these facts, we are now confident that we are ready to begin the long and tedious climb on the road to success. . This book is a record of our activities. In criticising it, speak softly, for it is the echo of our part in school life. In praising it, speak loudly, for it is Hart High School upon which you bestow tribute. 4 +1 Fourth Row: Alan Stover, Richard Scofield, Douglas McLouth, Wallace Reid, Mrs. Frost.

In recognition of their many achievements and constant high standing in the West Michigan Con- ference, We Seniors of 1947 take pride in dedicating this, our Hartian, to the Athletes, past and present, of Hart High School. The Pirates have had continual success in all phases of athletics and are worthy of a great deal of honor. We are sure that the boys of future teams will succeed in keeping this reputation, and therefore, we are confident that Hart High will always hold its Athletes in as high esteem as that which motivated this dedication. 6 BOARD OF EDUCATION GEORGE POWERS DR. HENRY STEVENS We wish to express our deep appreciation to the group who have worked unselfishly that we, the students of Hart Public Schools, might have the best educational facilities and the most enjoyment possible.

Our class officers were Bruno Misevic, presi- dent, Ronnie Cihak, vice-president, Marian Kludy, secretary, and Tom McMyler, treasurer. The main highlights of that year were the class party, The Sadie Hawkin's Day Dance and our carnival show, The Mysterious Notefi As Sophomores, our class diminished to 49, we elected Brad Smith, president, Elaine Peterson, vice-president, Helen Westlund, secretary, and Dorothy Beam, treasurer. This year we were busier as we had to put out the Banner. Our class party was The Shamrock Shag and our carnival show a humorous pantomime, And The Lamp Went Out. Our junior year was busy but we enjoyed it all. The biggest event was our play The Doctor In Spite of Himself. Our Junior class oHicers were Elaine Peterson, president, Fred Riley, vice-president, Marilyn Peacock, secretary, and Marvin Hipley, treasurer. The J-Hop this year was a big success.

Wfe began the year by electing class officers: Leonard Amstutz, President, Charles Schmitts, Vice President, Betty Sauser, Secretary, and julia Balavitch, Treasurer. Our carnival g side show Horns Corn was a big success. i Wallace Reid, President, Robert john Birke, Vice President, Alice Buchnius, g Secretary, and julia Balavitch, Treasurer, served as our Sophomore officers. In this year we were in charge of the Banner, with Marilyn Churchill as Editor. Our carnival side show On the Air was again a big success. Our annual school party The Sock Hop was well attended and as the name applies, the students danced in their stocking feet. Our Junior year again began with the usual procedure of electing officers. Pat McClennan was President, Ted Hodges, Vice President, Marilyn Churchill, Secretary, and Alan Stover, Treasurer. Our most difficult problem was that of CCorzti1men' on following page?

We accomplished it, however, by selling Christmas cards, sponsoring dime dances after the games, and the Junior play. Incidentally, the play, under the able direction of Mrs. Burdick, was one of the best, and took in more money than any other play ever presented at Hart High. Our class rings were chosen unanimously from various selections, and were quite different from those of previous years. The main event of that year was the Banquet and j-Hop, Twilight Fantasy, the most beautiful and successful prom presented here in many years. Miss Elise Dodge was the class advisor. September 1946 found us at an all time high- Seniors We began in the custo- mary way by electing officers. Still having financial difficulties, we found it necessary to pick up potatoes at Burt Greiner's. We sponsored both a Thanksgiving and Christmas dance, Don Greisback and his orchestra providing the music. Early in 1947, we labored long and hard on the Hartian in an attempt to make it a successful book. March and April found us working just as hard on the Senior play, Best Yearsf and May found us journeying on our skip day. Baccalaureate, our final I-Hop, and then Commencement itself rushed upon us rapidly, and soon the Senior Class of '47 had passed forever from the halls of Hart High. 26 COLORS Green 49 Szlver FLOWERS Wlozte Roses There are occasions in the life of every person which are eagerly anticipated and because, of their importance to him, are never completely forgotten. Tonight is such an occasion for the Senior Class of 1947. To us, graduation means the climax of many years of hard work, striving to achieve our goal. We shall take great pride in this achievement. We realize, however, that by no means was this accomplished independently. We have received valuable aid from our teachers, parents, and friends, who have been actively interested in seeing us reach our goal. Our teachers have spent a great deal of time and patience with us. They have offered advice, besides practical knowledge in the regular courses, and enjoyment in extra-curri- cular activities. Our parents have encouraged and backed us continually. Without their understand- ing and support we would have been lost. They have been more than wonderful to us. Whatever we, as part of the school have sponsored, the people of Hart and the sur- rounding communities have quickly responded by co-operating in every instance. They realize the importance of experience in a variety of activities and have provided us with these opportunities. Our debt to all those who have helped us is immense. The only means we have of repaying our obligations is to enter our new world courageously and strive for success and the realization of our ambitions. In this way we can show our gratitude and appreciation because we know it is what they want. To our parents, the faculty,.board of directors, business men, and residents of both Hart and the surrounding communities, we say thank you with a deep sincerity. Many community factors combine to form a richness in our lives that we seldom pause to realize or appreciate. Only when some event occurs that breaks this accustomed security do we recognize its true value. The activities, parties, and programs that we participated in in high school have been some of the most enjoyable moments we shall know. They are past now, but we are happy to have their memories. Our class has been together a long time and shared many experiences which have been invaluable. Now we have come to a parting of the ways. Perhaps never again will we be together as a class and we shall eventually lose complete contact with some indi- viduals. We shall look forward, however, to the future with high hopes and the optimism of youth. While we are being honored tonight for our achievements, still commencement means the beginning of a new life. As we step forward into this new life, our confidence in our training, the high courage of youth, and our dreams of expected success fill us with a high determination to overcome any obstacles and to joyously assume any new responsi- bilities of the future. Tonight, our graduation night, we realize more than ever the truth of our motto, In ourselves our future lies. - MARILYN CHURCHILL 1.41.- Parents, Friends, and members of the Faculty: On behalf of this graduating class of nineteen hundred and forty seven, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to our commencement exercises. It is our sincere desire that you will enjoy the evening. Four years ago this Senior Class set sail on a great voyage-a voyage on the Sea of Knowledge. It was with great anticipation and self-confidence that we boarded our imma- culate steamship-H. H. S. However, as we sailed onward, we realized that we hadnit foreseen all the obstacles that we might encounter. There were many times when the going proved rough and a few, losing their self-confidence, found it necessary to leave us at dif- ferent ports along the way. Most of us, however, being determined to reach our destination combatted the obstacles, and when the waves became rough, we just clung to the rails and cried, Sail On! . All of you have played a definite part in making this voyage possible, for without your valuable assistance and countless sacrifices many of us would have remained behind. Therefore, it is only fitting and proper that you are present tonight to share with us our honors in this happy occasion. You see us now gathered together on deck, waiting to receive our citations for the achievements made during our four year cruise. The termination of these four years, marks the end of our voyage, for tonight we shall drop anchor and come ashore. Our hearts are filled with happiness and gratitude as we see you before us-watching our ship come in. In a very short time we will take the last steps of this voyage-across the gangplank which leads to our diplomas. We are both grateful and proud to have you, who contributed and sacrificed so much, present with us tonight to participate in this important event of our lives. - BE'1'rY SAUSER 27 N N CD I I U I-IJ I- SAYING ORITE V FA ACTIVI TE I VOR FA CKS LA POSSESSES LLED CA NAME C .-. 28 C ?

How different everything looked! Many of the names on the stores had changed, and we were won- dering what had become of this business man and then another. It frequently is hard to remember that other things have changed as much or more than we have since our high school days. Much to our delight we met Bessie Wilde who has been content to continue working at Edson's Ice Cream Store since Norwood Wicks is now owner. Bessie is extremely happy as she waits on the high school kids, and has made a hobby of collecting news items about the class of 1947. These are the startling but happily-received facts which she gave us: We were not surprised to hear that Gloria Abbott is happily married as she was one of the first of our class to wear the diamond. Lucky girl! The old steadies, Leonard and Lois, were married as soon as she graduated and are living in Hart. He is a full-fledged partner of his father-in-law, doing a large amount of busi- ness in the Standard Oil service. julia Balavitch is lecturing on Family Life in Mars. It seems that her husband has made several exploring trips there and she accompanied him on one of them. just imagine! How thrilling! Were you scared to fly so high, Julia? You recall Charles Bovid, our veteran? He is now a gold prospector in Alaska. We understand that he is very suc- cessful and an outstanding authority in that field. Bob Birke is now, just what you might expect, coach of Hart High School. The very latest is that he is considering the organization of a Girls' basketball team. Lucky girls! Why couldn't we have had that break? Mentioning school, Bessie went on to say that Irene Bray has taken over Miss Dodge's place as commercial teacher. Suppose she has a microscope to find every error and erasure mark as Miss Dodge did? Oh, what a job to get a perfect paper! Poor Alice Buchnius. Her husband died recently, but she is continuing to live in their beautiful penthouse in New York City. Betty jane Budde has her own dress designing shop in Paris. Did you see the picture of her latest creation in the Banner ? The former Esther Carter and her husband, Graydon, are making their home in the Windy City. Both are much taken up with inventing a new type of lens for cameras that will take lover's pictures in the dark. Oh, Oh! Another diamond wearer in our Senior days was Ethelyn Campbell who is happily settled in her new home near the corner of Peach and Main and is busy raising several little DuMonts. The Hart journal for that day had an article about our Marilyn Churchill. She has continued being so smart and brainy, is teaching in the University of Michigan, and now has her name in the latest edition of the Who's Who as the world's most intelligent person. Another very quiet member of our Class has developed into the leader of an orchestra-an all male orchestra at that. Can you imagine Beverly Corliss doing that? Wonder why her favorite theme song is I Wish I Were Single Again ? Be careful of what you tell over the telephone for Joyce Doering is a Hello girl and what she doesn't know just hasn't happened, so the report is. Another happily married member of our group is Doris Farmer who lives with her husband and mother-in-law in Mears. Doris, using her cooking ability, caters for parties at the Dunes. We hear that Leona Frost has accepted a position as music teacher in Shelby. We wonder what the big attraction there is. Jack Gamble, according to Gallup's Poll, has just been elected God's gift to the Women. Some girl will be lucky to have such a man. How did he ever escape this long? One of the successful potato growers in Oceana County is Burton Greiner, who is also as successful as a family man. Do you suppose Hart Seniors are still picking up potatoes for him? Oh, will I ever forget my lame back? Robert Halladay is traveling through the country as a representative of the Fuller Brush Company. He is very congenial and well liked by every one. Bessie said that her old classmate, Germaine Hammerle, is now Floorlady at the Stokely Factory in Hart. The report is. that she is very strict with the high school students that work there. It must be that she has forgotten her school days. If in need of any advice ask Ted Hodges, who has just finished his college course at Western Michigan and is start- ing a law practice here. Marvel of Marvels! How does he keep it together? Ted Jeffries is still running around town in his old car! He wanted to drive to South America, but after his trip to Alaska he was afraid that it wouldn't hold up. Janey Jenkins, who has been in China for several years as a missionary, has just returned to the United States with her husband and eight adopted children. How does tiny janey ever do it? Reynolds jonassen has taken over his father's office and is now looking into all the girls' eyes. Lucky Man! I bet I can tell you some news. Did you know that Neven Lipps and Marian Purdy are in Hollywood? Their latest picture is entitled This Life Of Ours. Can you imagine them in a place where they couldn't talk? Must watch when the picture comes this way so I can see these famous class- mates. ' Marilynn Littiebrant is taking care of all the little jail birds. The Littiebrants like to keep the work in the family. Pat Loree is now Superintendent of the Oceana Hospital. All the boys seem to be sick lately. Could it be because of the nice superintendent? How about it, Pat? Did you hear that Pat McClennan had fallen heir to some money- the whole sum of One Hundred dollars! She has decided to spend the rest of her life traveling on that amount. She prefers Florida weather to that of Michigan. Poor Douglas McLouth. He is still in Trig class making up work. Seems like Mr. Shinn would take pity and pass him. After all, ten years of trig is a long time. Who would have ever guessed that Raymond Mitchell is in Hollywood as a stand-in for Van johnson while he is in Europe? Bernard Peters is the new Oceana County Road Commis- sioner. I wonder if he gives the school kids a vacation by not keeping the roads plowed out? Wallace Reid was voted The most Gorgeous Hunk of Man in the United States, and still unmarried. Can you feature that? Donald Riebe, our other veteran, is an engineer in Central America. lt seems that he is not satished with the way the Panama Canal was constructed, so is building one of his own. It will probably be known as the Eighth Wonder of the World. Manley Robinson has been appointed ambassador to Rus- sia. His quietness and deliberateness should be an aid in making friends with those people. The wedding bells rang last month for Betty Sauser who has just retired from her position as head of a beauty school in Grand Rapids. She says, I want to settle down. We have often wondered just how Rip Van Winkle looked after his nap. Now we know, for Richard Scofield, who started to hitch-hike to California May 29, 1947, has just reached Los Angeles. It seems that when he reached the Rockies he became tired and slept for nine years. Jim Scheiern is manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Sup- pose we hold a class reunion during the World Series and make him give us passes to all the games. How about it, jim? Charles, as we expected, is owner of the Schmitts' Funeral Home. He is running competition to his old boss, Harry Brokering and is showing Harry a pretty hard time. Shirley Shigley has just acquired a position as cooking instructor at the University of Michigan. Could it be be- cause of her ability to bake cherry pies? Do you remember that Marleen Simon always said that CConlinued on page 413 Gloria Abbott Gloria Pint-sized, dark, quiet. J-Hop Committee 3.

CAROL STEVENS IRENE BRAY MQM P R O P H E C Y CContinued from page 29D she wanted to be a dental hygienist? She soon decided to go on with the training and is now a full-fledged dentist. Would you believe the fact that she has ruined the business of Drs. Worthy and Stevens by getting all their men patients The drilling doesn't seem to hurt so much with that so-called woman's touch. Beverly Smith is modeling bathing suits in New York City. She says she always was good at figures. Alan Stover is a member of the United States Senate. He must have developed his argumentive powers. Oh, Bessie, where are our Twins? Do you remember how they could yell as cheerleaders? Carol is part owner of Mears since her husband, Bill, is mayor of that large UD city. Connie is working for the F. B. I. She always was good at tracking down men. No class would be quite complete without an author and we find that Joyce VanTassel has become ours. She has chosen her home town for the color and locale of her newest book, A Tree Grows in Mears. What is the matter with the Class of 1947? Here we are almost at the end of our group and only one farmer-when we all like to eat so well. We learn, however, that Mary Ellen Walker has taken over the management of her father's farm and is the best apple grower in Western Michigan. Norman Wurthner who was always going to do some great thing has accomplished his desire, as he wears the uni- form of a Four-Star General with headquarters in Washing- ton, D. C. He is continually besieged with autograph fans as he was in High School. Erwin Youngstrom is now the Frank Sinatra of 1957. The girls swoon, while he croons. We aren't so sure that it's because he is so good. Lucile Zwinger has reached her high school ambition and has recently been established as a medical missionary in India. How little we thought or realized back on our graduation day that our classmates would be doing so many different things or would become so famous in ten years! LUCILE ZWINGER CLASS WILL Be it remembered the Class of l947 , being of sound mind and judgment, but knowing the uncertainties of this life, does hereby make, execute, and declare this to be its last will and testament. This is to say we do give, devise, and bequeath our property and talents as follows: To the faculty, we will great pleasure by having peace and tranquility when we have walked out with our diplomas. To the incoming Freshmen, we leave some of the beams of our radiant faces so there will be some brightness in the school. To the Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors of 48 we be- queath our ability of getting around. We also leave our dignity that they may acquire the same high place in the esteem of the faculty that we have always held. After having been sick for four years with a disease which was very helpful to him and being willing to help a friend, Neven Lipps wills his sickness called Sleepitus to Reginald Madison. It being my wish that this school should not loose by my graduation, I, Norman Wurthner, will my Army suits and flying ability to Bernard Golland. I, Alan Stover, will my address book to Wayne Russell. I, Charlie Schmitts, will my speaking abilities to Brad Smith, so he may become as famous as Abraham Lincoln. I, Janey Jenkins, will my dazzling spirit in playing the trumpet to Lawrence Schlee, so he may be as good as I am. Having made an extensive use of my strange power which I have over men, I, Gloria Abbott, desire to leave said power to Micky Lambrix, in the hope that she will use it advan- tageously. Having noticed that he is rather a bashful chap, I, Ted Hodges, will my many and various experiences to Don McClennan. I, Ethelyn Campbell, hereby will my job as a soda jerk to Peggy Lipps. I, Marleen Simon, will my extensive knowledge of every- thing in general to Fred Riley hoping that the results will make Fred a man of the world. I, Beverly Smith, will my uncanny art for saying things backward to Ruth Hawley. Shirley Shigley leaves her giggles to make life cheery after she's gone. I, Bob Halladay, having no further use for my middle name, Waldo, do hereby willingly pass it on to Mr. Olen- Eilorf, thus making his full name Jasper Peter Waldo Olen- orf. Having been burdened with my maidenly blushes for the four years of my High School life, I, Manley Robinson, do will them to Dick Curtis. I, Dale Gowell, having a big chest and shoulders, hereby will them to Royce Griffen. I, Jack Gamble, will my truck to Judy Singer so she won't have such a difficult time walking to school. I, Leona Frost, hereby will said musical ability to Nancy Lee Hanks, hoping she will have as great a success as I did. I, Doris Farmer, leave my collection of men to Maxine Lambrix. All I can wear is one diamond at a time! Having known all the town gossip so long, I, Joyce Doer- ing, will my job as telephone operator to Dot Beam. I, Wally Reid, hereby leave said charm and handsomeness to the Junior boys so they can give the girls a big thrill. Betty Budde wills her car to Rose Hale so she doesn't have to hitch hike home every nite with a different salesman. Bessie Wilde wills some of her humor to Thelma House- man. Beverly Corliss hereby wills her Home Ec. Class to any unfortunate underclassman who will accept it. Marion Purdy wills her Pontiac to Joyce Robbins so she will keep the roads clear to Ludington. Being desirious that someone other than myself be blessed with such a dazzling pepsodent smile such as I have, I, Pat McClennan, bequeath my smile to Bruno Mesivic. As gentlemen are said to prefer blonds, I, Alice Buchnius, will my blond tresses to Joyce Schaner. I, Marilyn Litriebrant, will my artistic ability to Marvin Hipley. He seems to have quite a bit of ability in some lines. I, Jim Scheiern, will my girl friend, so the rest of the underclassmen have a chance when I leave this lovely den of iniquity. I, Ervin Youngstrom, will said height to Jerry Spencer so he can look people straight in the eye. I, Lucile Zwinger, will my sweet little voice to Lois Staf- ford. I, Bob Birke, will my athletic ability and physique to Jimmy Greiner. I, Donald Riebe, leave my discharge button to Delmar Kokx. We know he will take good advantage of it. I, Betty Sauser, leave my pickle station to the Juniors so they can have as good times there as the Seniors did. I, Connie Stevens, will my vim, vigor, and vitality to Marilyn Peacock. Joyce Van Tassel would just like to leave. Mary Ellen Walker leaves her seat in the back row in Gov't. class to anyone lucky enough to possess power to obtain it. I, Carol Stevens, leave my ability to Cheerlead to Martha Mack, to keep good will in the Brubaker family. I, Marilyn Churchill, will my scholastic standard to Ed Lorenz, so he will be eligible for sports. The Junior Class should try to make an effort, anyway, to keep up with the Senior Class of 47 in sports. Having tried several remedies unsuccessfully, I, Ray Mitchell, take this opportunity to get rid of my freckles by willing them to Chester Walker to add to his. I, Doug McLouth, will my wavy, red locks to Gravel Gertie,' so that in the future she will not have to spend her money on peroxide. I, Richard Scofield, leave my Lincoln Zephyr to any rich person who can afford to buy new tires each week. I, Irene Bray, being of sound mind CI hopeb will my figure to Marj. Hawley, not that she needs it. I, Bernard Peters, will my intellectual capacity to Dan Sayles. I, Esther Carter, hereby will my quiet, tranquil disposition to Kathleen Greiner, so that the rest of the pupils can have peace and solitude in the Study Halls. I, Burton Greiner, will my potato patch to the future Seniors. Of course I'm going to plant the potatoes a little deeper in the ground, so good luck! I, Reynolds Jonassen, hereby will my physique to Jack Osten-Sacken so he can treat the women rough-they love it. Having been in school so regularly, Theodore Jeffries de- cided to leave his good attendance record to Bruce Scofield. I, Germaine Hammerle, hereby leave my jewelry to Esther Gilliland. As Pat Loree finds little time to ride horses any more, she wishes to leave her riding habit to Shirley Lyons. I, Leonard Amstutz, will my car to my girl friend so she can get around as much as she did when I was in school. I, Julia Balavitch, will my said Domestic ability to Sue Lipski, we know she's the type. I, the Great Charles Bovid, hereby announcing the late catastrophe of having a dent in my 1947 car, wish to discard it, and thus will it to Rodney Mead. We do hereby appoint Shirley Shigley executor of this, our last will and testament, and in testimony thre- of, we have hereunto set our hand and seal, this twenty-eighth day of May in the year one thousand nine hundred and forty-seven.

The first building stood just south of the present Hart cemetery but was used for the year 1868 only. In 1869 a wooden structure about 40 ft. by 80 ft. was built on the corner of johnson and State Streets facing north where the present building now stands. Following this a long wooden primary department was built on the southwest corner of the same block. Most of this lot was enclosed by a sturdy wooden fence and the trees around this vicinity had just been planted. Mr. M. H. Brooks and Mrs. T. J. Gurney were the first teachers in the high school and Miss Etta Van Winckle was leader of the primary department. In 1878 the school was graded and a course of study in English was mapped out conforming, in the main, to the requirements of the colleges of the state. The intermediate grades were on the first floor of the large building and the high school on the upper fioor. Each floor had one large room occupying perhaps three-fourths of the space. The stairway was in the front of the building and the high school had a small room adjoining in the front also. The school was heated in the wintertime by wood stoves, while kerosene lamps provided the artificial lighting. By this time Miss Maggie Palmiter taught the primary grades and Mr. F. E. Young taught many years as Superin- tendent. His desk, somewhat elevated, was at the front of the high school room. There was no Principal, but a similar position was usually held by a woman called the Assistant. This person taught in the small room adjoining the high room. The pupils had desks assigned to them with no particular grouping or grade arrangement. When one of the teachers taught a class, he or she would ring a bell and call the name of the class or subject and the students of this class would promptly march up and sit in seats at the front of the room or in the small room as the case might be. Not considering the blackboards on the walls, the slates and slate pencils were the principal means of writing except when practicing penmanshipg when they used what was called Spencerian pens and paper for class uniformity and convenience. Punishment back at this time was either standing face to the wall or else being taken into the little room and severely switched. Switches were seldom scarce as willow bushes grew abundantly across the street to the west of the school where, incidentally, the Superintendent also lived for a number of years. Extra-curricular activities were few. junior and Senior class plays were presented. Baseball was played by some school boys against teams from other town schools, but it was independent of school. Basketball was hardly thought of, but soccer-football and baseball were popular games on the playground. In the wintertime skating took place on the pond just west of the school. The walk in front of the school was a board one which became very slippery during the winter and thus afforded much sliding for the pupils. During the year 1918 considerable time and thought was given to choosing a name for the school annual. Finally the name, The Hartian, was selected and the class hoped that this might prove to be a permanent name. The principal, Mr. Samuel P. Savage, should be mentioned in connection with this decision. This year Hart High won nine Basket- ball games out of fourteen and thus won its first basketball trophy, a pennant. Athletics started this year with military training. This and the lack of men soon forced the aband- onment of football. Football season of 1919 was a very poor one for Hart which won only one game that season against an overpowered Alma eleven. That season's basketball team clicked all the while and had a very successful year. They won games by margins such as 66 to 5 over Pentwater and 49 to 8 over Walkerville. The train served as means of transportation. The tournament was held in Mt. Pleasant with thirty-five teams participating. Croswell was our first victim. We won two out of three games at the tournament. This same year an interclass tournament was played for the benefit of the amusement of the town people. One of the most celebrated athletic events of these early days was the annual inter-class tug-of-war held each spring. Each of the two teams were placed on opposite sides of Hart River and the losers were in for a good ducking. During the years 1920 and 1921 football and basketball under the coaching of Carl Spitler were played with average success. Chet Mack and Carson McMillian were the main- stays of these years. In 1922 Mr. Rakestraw took the helm in football and Mr. Turk in basketball. Games with Alma, South Haven, Muskegon, Ludington and Manistee were successfully played by Hart. The cagers maintained this high standard the following season under the coaching of Mr. Olin, winning games from Muskegon Heights, Catholic Central of Grand Rapids, Manistee and Ludington. Field hockey was introduced this year. Although girls intramural basketball was maintained since 1920 through 1929, 1923 was the first year that girls were allowed to participate in any out-door athletics. Baseball was reintro- duced in 1924 and track started in 1925. 1926 brought forth one of the best baseball teams in the history of Hart High, while football took a slump for a couple of years and basketball remained about a fifty-fifty through 1929. In the fall of 1928 Jasper Olendorf came to Hart from Western State Teachers College to begin a commendable nineteen years of athletic direction. He took over football in '28 and in '29 he added baseball and basketball to his coaching responsibilties. Tennis was added to the list of sports in 1928 and proved to be popular and successful. 1929 brought forth another good baseball team and an excellent track team. The track team journeyed to the regional meet at Cadillac where it made a fine showing by winning second place. Coach Cowles and three members of his team, Shrogren, Walsworth, and Hawley, went to Lans- ing where they placed sixth out of forty teams. During 1930 jasper Olendorf coached the teams through football, basketball and baseball to a quite successful season in all three sports, although a little more outstanding in basketball. In the same year Glenn Cowles lead the track team through to third place in the regional state meet. The outstanding athlete of the year was Neil Spitler. Hart dropped low in football in 1931, but made a success- ful season in basketball by winning the Maseana Cup. The baseball teams made good. Again under the splendid guid- ance of Cowles Hart easily won the Maseana track meet and placed third in the regional at Cadillac. During the next two years under Mr. Olendorf's well known guidance Hart won the Western Michigan Confer- ence in football and had an average season in all of the other sports. The 1934 football team won six games and lost two to keen competition. Hart only won one game in basketball but gave all the rest a very tough time. Once more Glenn Cowles turned out one of his speedy track teams and won the Western Michigan Conference Track meet against very tough competition. Hart during the year 1935 had very good seasons in foot- ball and baseball under Coach Olendorf, but the slump in basketball continued. We placed second in the track meet. Hard luck struck the football team in 1936 when nearly all the games were lost. Baseball had an even score in wins and loses. This year Lawrence Decker came to Hart to coach basketball and had a fairly good season. Cowles turned out another one of his good track teams. In 1937 Hart was still having hard luck with her football team, but improved over the last year by winning one, tieing one and losing tive, but Mr. Olendorf evened up the score in baseball with only one lost during the season. Still under the direction of Mr. Decker Hart dropped down in basket- ball with the cagers only winning one game that year. The track team had a fine season. Golf under the guidance of Snow, inter-class tennis and ping-pong were new sports a e . Hart had fair success in all sports during 1938 and placed fourth in the State meet in golf. This year showed consider- able interest in girls' inter-class basketball. Garth Spitler was Hart's outstanding athlete this year. The 1940 football eleven had a fairly successful time. This year they played their first game under the lights at Manistee. Fred Stevens, an outstanding player and star in fConlinued on page 621 Jasper Olendorf Mr. jasper Olendorf, better known as Olie to his friends, came to Hart High School in 1928. For the following nineteen years he has coached football. He had the ability to inspire a fighting spirit and a determination to win in the team members which meant many victories in this sport. From 1928 to 1935 and from 1940 to 1947 he was also the basketball coach. Instill- ing in the players the fact that no game is won until the final whistle has been blown frequently helped to pile up the number of victories for Hart High. Mr. Olendorf is a three-sport man, as in addition to the football and basketball, he has directed baseball for the nineteen years. While we do not hear so much about our high school baseball, still our teams have done their part in maintaining our school's place in this sport. Under Olie's directorship the following conference trophies have been won by the Pirates: Football in 1930, '32, '33, '34 and 19465 Basketball in 1930, '31, '38, '39, '40, 41, '43 and 1946, and also the tournament trophy in 1940 and 1943g Baseball in 1934, '35, '36, '40, '41 and 1942. Mr. Olendorf has always insisted on clean, square playing and good sportsmanship under all conditions. Teams which hold and exhibit these qualities always win , regard- less of what figures the scoreboard may indicate. Not only the Athletes but all members of the Student Body and Faculty unite in wishing him much success as he leaves the teaching profession to enter the business world. 46 rq no W ,pt ., A , q,iA At,AA A.

BASEBALL TEAM The Pirates started the 1947 baseball year with seven varsity members back from last year. The boys were a little rusty but with somem practice and some good coaching, under Mr. Olendorf, they came out close to the top. Coach Olendorf's early choice for starting positions were: Lewis, pitchingg Hodges, Catching, Curtis on first baseg McClennan on second base, Liesburg at short-stop, Gowell on third base, Lorenze, left field, Robinson, M., center field, and G.

TRACK The Pirate track team was led this year by able Coach Stewart Gingrich. They opened their season with a dual meet with the Ludingron Orieles, in which we were defeated 22 to 79. On May 3, the team journeyed to Mt. Pleasant to participate in the Central Michigan Relays, along side 73 other class C schools. Hart entered three events, placed seventh in the medley relay and fifth in the hundred yard dash. The Pirates had a meet with Shelby the following week in which we were defeated 62 to 41. On May 20th, they finished the season at the West Michigan Conference Meet, placing third behind North Muskegon and Shelby. Bob Birke was the Pirate dash man, while Hodges and Madison were valuable assets to the team at the half-mile and 440-yard posts. 53 Right out in front of our marching band, to lead the parade, are six young ladies with plenty of sparkle. They are our majorettes: Marleen Simon, Shirley Shigley, Marian Purdy, Sue Lipski, Carolyn Greiner, and Mary Shinn. The girls did a fine job this year, and are looking forward to new uniforms next year. 44.1-k.-l The Pep Department did a line job this year. Our cheerleaders were Connie and Carol Stevens, Joyce Shaner, and Marcile Gray. The girls were right out in front to lead the student body in yells for the Pirates. They also added a number of new yells to the collection. We are sorry to lose Connie and Carol, but we will always remember the Twins as two cheerleaders with plenty of energy for Hart lligh. 54 we-'N J N.

He found a band of twenty-one members and an orchestra of twelve. The band uniforms were old, and the school music department was pretty low. But Mr. Schestag stepped right in and in a very short time had a band of fifty-five members, all clad in new red and white uniforms. Under his leadership the Hart High School band and orchestra have served this community many times by playing for parades, Decoration Days, County Fairs, and at other community gatherings. They have also played at North Muskegon, Ludington and Whitehall for local celebrations and contests there. In 1938, 1940 and 1942 the Band took part in the contests at the Tulip Festival in Holland, each year winning an award. Several trips have been made to Big Rapids to play in district festivals. The war and lack of transportation facilities have curtailed all this type of music activityg but we are hoping that they may soon be resumed. Words cannot express what Mr. Schestag has meant to the school and community, and especially to the students who have been privileged to study music under him. He has not only taught music to his students, but has been personally interested in them, and a friend to each. We shall surely miss Mr. Schestag in Hart High School, but we wish him plenty of happiness and success in his new undertaking.

The band has had a very successful year, under the able direction of John Schestag. Early in the fall, the future looked rather bad for the band. A large number had graduated from the group the preceeding May, and there were plenty of vacancies to be filled. But new members stepped in and the music department gave enjoyment, besides musical edu- cation, to all who participated. The band gave a concert in the spring and presented to the public an evening of musical entertainment. Both band and orchestra members wish to express their appreciation to john Schestag. He has been not only our director, but a personal friend to each one of us. T,g,.... The Orchestra, consisting of nineteen members, has had a very successful year. It played at the junior Play, Christmas program, Senior Play and had a part in the Spring Concert. Students who participated in the orchestra had a chance to become familiar with a type of music entirely different from that of the band. It also gave the students who played stringed instruments an opportunity to play with a group. Sldildiflgf Mr. Schestag, Marian Kludy, Norman Holden, Germaine Hammerle.

I I HISTORY OF HART HIGH SCHOOL KContinued from page 601 . sports, was one of the best sparkplugs of the team. The sea- son ended with a tie at Shelby. The year was exceptionally fine in basketball, winning fourteen games and losing two including the tournament. The strong and powerful team rolled over most of the opponents with ease and won the chance to play in Grand Rapids, only to lose. The last several seasons in all sports have seen Hart win its fair share or more of the games played. Walt Hansen, Stan Kapulack, Stan Riley, McKinley Schrumpf, Don Hansen, Bob Birke and others have all contributed much to Hart's athletic glories. Under the splendid coaching of jasper Olendorf his teams in Basketball won thirteen conference championships and lost three. As the theme of this Hartian is athletics, this brief history summarizes some of the highlights in sports of the past and perhaps another year other phases and points of interest of Hart High could well be written.
