Despatching his men to investigate the disturbance, the leader sat impatiently on his (Varen) HORST listening absently to the morning song of the ROBBINS. Within a short time the WORTHY robbers brought before their captain a YOUNG (strom) man bestride a brindle-colored steed. The frightened RIDER was sternly questioned by the hostile chief. “AERT(s) thou beHOLDEN to ME(ad)? he asked. “Nay, I be but a poor man of ENGLISH blood from the north of FRANCE. My father was the (John)SON of a KING. I, the son of my father, have the name of Count SIMON DUDLEY of MEISENHEIMER. The FLOODS together with the GALES, which so but lately have devastated my estate, did so COUL(ier) the weather that a great FREES came upon the land making stiff even the GLOVE(r) of my most able laborer. For this reason, I did think it WURTH(ner) my while to journey here.” “What! Comest thou the LY(kens) upon me? shouted the outraged chieftain. “If I be not MARTIN STEVENS of HAMMARLE, I will fix thee to yonder POST(ema) and (De)PEELthe skin from off thy back. Come here, BLUNDELL, thou lazy knave, (Ri)DU(lis) you now ride to the small (Petti)GROVE beyond the (Van)BERG(en) of SLAGLE and make haste to tell that absent-minded fool of a KOKXcomb you will find there to fortify the WALS(worth) of our stronghold at REAMS, for a spy has come among us. CARTER DILLINGHAM, thou incompetent, bungling idiot, hast thou (Lam)BRIX in thy feet? FULL(er) well thou knowest that long since yonder crafty spy ought to have had his hands fast tied. Go to it; It be best we stop here by the River of the BEAMS till the morrow dawns. AMSTUTZ, HODGES, ALVESTEFFER, and SCHANER shall prepare the camp. And you, the rest of my noble bandits, gather about the wretch we have made captive. As the band obeyed their leader, the silent prisoner, though visibly frightened, lifted his head and prepared to speak. Please, oh illustrious sir, pardon my rashness; but I must speak and dispell from thy mind the faulty assumption that I be a spy. My father, CLARK AVERY, would shudder in his grave to see me here subject to the whim of a robber in the forest of KLUDY. “If thou shut not thy vile mouth, thy father shall see thee but not, I swear, in the forest of KLUDY; bellowed the enraged bandit. “By GRIGGS of EISENLOHR; the first chief of this band who stormed the town of GREINER, waking with a (Arm)STRONGblast of his HORN the tyrant BUCHNIUS, and killed (Mer)TEN of this province’s worst examples of manhood; I shall tear thy villainous tongue from out thy head; Quivering (Van)GlLLS of a catfish, WIL(helm) thou dare suggest that I will accept such insult?

Salutatory Parents, faculty, and friends, as a member of the Class of ’51 it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to our graduation exercises. We hope that you will have a pleasant evening. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank you for your help. We never would have completed high school and had such an enjoyable time while doing it without the aid of our parents and teachers. Though many of us plan to continue our education in higher institutions of learning, tonight marks a turning point in our lives. It is the end of one period and the beginning of another. The time has come for us, the fledglings, to leave our nests and try out our wings. Whether or not we will be successful is up to us. We are through asking for help, and from now on we will be on our own. Eldonna Meisenheimer Valedictory For the last time we of the Class of 51 are assembled as a group. For the first and last time we are graduating Seniors at Hart High School. We are finally where we have wanted to be for the last twelve years. We are not insensible to the assistance rendered us by our parents, teachers, board of education, and friends. Yet at the same time we recognize that which has been our chief support during all of these twelve years--faith. The faith of those nearest us that we could succeed. When we doubted our ability the most, it was they who trusted the were not for this trust I dare say many of us would not be in thepl ces we are in tonight. Leaving here we take that faith with us and assure ourselves as we do so that whether we reach success or not we Will have exhausted every legal means in attempting to reach it. In closing, I would like to thank, for myself and my fellow classmates, all those who have at any time in any small or large way helped this class during the time we have spent in this high school and to add a farewell.

THESPIANS The Thespians’ Club has grown to quite a large number this year with 35 active members. To become a Thespian, a student must have ten credit hours to his credit. Official initiation for the Hart Troupe No. 906 of the National Thespian Society were held on February 15, 1951. The President of the Thespian Club this year is Joanne Stevens; Vice-President, Phyllis Hodges; Secretary-Treasurer, Rose Buchnius; Club Reporter, Jack Wilhelm. The major project endorsed by the Thespian Club this year was the backing of the high school music show; “This is My Country”. The funds went toward the purchasing of a tape recorder. The Thespian’s aim is to better the standard of Dramatics iA Hart High School. Music Drama Show A new section of dramatics was introduced into Hart High School this year. The music and drama departments produced a musical show for a tape recorder benefit. “This is My Country” was given on February 24, 1951, at the Hart gymnasium. The show was the result of the students’ desire and will to produce a musical show for a change and to aid a good project. This show was a review of America in song and action, with the desire to impress upon the audience the need for protecting our rights and liberties that are our American heritages. Very good co-operation was given by all groups in the production of the show, the students had a vital sense of desire to make the show a big success. The groups working on the show were the Dramatics Club, Thespians, Ex Temp Speech Class, English Classes, Band, and both Choruses. The faculty advisors for this show were Mrs. Burmeister, and Mr. Hoek. 49 Debate Club STANDING: M. Horn, Mrs. Burmeister, J. Kludy, J. Stevens, V. Beam. SITTING: J. Christian. D. Lyons, S.

Debate Our class of nine students under the guidance of Barbara Burmeister, debate coach, started on the national debate topic Resolved that the American people should reject the Welfare State. We had several practice debates with different schools to get new ideas on the topic. Every debater participated in these debates as a chairman, timekeeper, or debater. We entered the State Forensic Contest again this year and are sad to say we won only two debates out of eight. Jack Christian, Ruth King, David Lyon, Jack Wilhelm, and Shirley Vavrina participated in all contest debates. The schools we debated in the contest debates were Ludington, Grand Rapids Kelloggsville, Grand Rapids Union, and Traverse City. 50 FIFTH ROW: FOURTH ROW: THIRD ROW: SECOND ROW: FRONT ROW: R.

Eight won first place and eight second place ratings. The first place winners entered the state contest in March. One of the highlights of the year is the annual trip to Big Rapids in May to play in the district mass band festival. The Junior and Senior Bands played at two band-parents meetings, and in the spring annual concert. March found us very excited and overjoyed with the anticipation of new uniforms which had been ordered. 53 Intra- Captain, R. Eisenlohr (missing), J. Alvesteffer, J. Vanderheuval, L. Gayle, J.

Senior Class Plays WE SHOOK THE FAMILY TREE A three-act comedy “We Shook the Family Tree was presented by the Senior Class on November 16 and 17. When Hildegard decides she isn’t going to be a wallflower anymore, trouble begins in the Dolson family. First Hildegard has her father called a drunkard, then she has her father’s love letters distributed all over town. To climax it all she finds herself compelled to go to the prom with short pants Freddy. In her efforts to get Freddy a pair of long pants, she only finds her troubles getting deeper. The play was a great success due to the untiring efforts of Mrs. Burmeister, the director; the stage crew, and cast. Junior Play Mystery and excitement were what we craved so for our Junior Play we chose the three-act mystery-comedy entitled, “Spooks and Spasms. City debutante, Carol Caloway, inherits a house that is said to be haunted and her little brother, Sidney wants to make their stay at the newly acquired home an exciting one. Rose Buchnius, John Dillingham, Alan Glover, Joan Stevens, Phyllis Hodges, Corkey Glover, Florence Avery, Doris Robbins, Harold France, Sue Smith, and Fred Holden did a swell job of portraying the characters of the story and the play was a howling success. 56 FOURTH ROW: THIRD ROW: SECOND ROW: FRONT ROW: C.

James Flood Sentinel...........................Gordon Glover The Hart Chapter of Future Farmers is quite proud of its achievements which were materialized this past year. Through the co-operative efforts of the chapter members many group projects were completed. During the fall months, we helped the farmers harvest their crops. Picking up apples and potatoes and pulling beans were some of the jobs undertaken. Between these group projects, 15,000 pine trees were planted to increase the tree population on our rapidly growing forest plantation north of town. The boys walked away with all of the first prizes in the swine division at the Oceana County Fair with three exhibits of 100 registered hogs. Some of the boys also exhibited at the Ludington Fair with very good results. During the football season, the boys ventured to Lansing to take in a Michigan State football game. A very good time was had by all. In February, the boys plunged into the task of preparing speeches, demonstrations, and parliamentary teams. The boys completely ran away with the “first” at the District contest and came home with good results from the Regional and State meets. We held our annual Father and Son Banquet the 5th of March. One hundred per cent of the chapter members and their fathers were present to hear Mr. Arthur Mauch, the guest speaker of the evening. Chapter Buys Tractor The Hart Chapter of Future Farmers is continuing to build up its physical strength. The boys have almost entirely finished their twenty-five hundred dollar cabin and now in search of another large group project have purchased a twelve-hundred dollar tractor. The tractor supplying the boys'needs is a ALLIS CHALMERS “C“, two years old. It has never been used much and is in A-l condition. A new cultivator and plow was also included with the tractor. The boys finally decided to select this particular tractor after looking over several other good buys in the surrounding area. The boys plan on mounting a weed sprayer on the tractor this summer and do custom spraying for the farmers in this community. The tractor will also be used on the F.F.A. forest plantation north of town to plow furrows in which to plant young pine trees. The buzzing of wood and hauling of logs are also some of the other jobs it will be used for. In the future it will be used for the harvest of Christmas trees and eventually for pulp wood. The boys may also plant several acres of crops this summer and work the acreage with the tractor in a co-operative basis. It is the unanimous agreement of the chapter members that this tractor will be a paying proposition as well as building up chapter co-operative standards and personal incentive. During the year we played many basketball and softball games with other chapters in this area. We sponsored a deer rifle raffle, operated a concession stand at all athletic events, and increased our swine rigg. We continued our point system, had four picnics during the summer and continued to decorate the interior of our cabin. We also purchased a tractor and presented one honor member pin to Mr. William Weaver. We had four state farmers this year. The lucky fellows were Max Kokx, Alan Glover, Harold France, and James Flood. Max Kokx and James Flood were elected Regional Officers. Alan Glover and James Flood were also presented with District Offices. Among our major plans for the future, a rifle range and shotgun shoot to be erected this summer on our plantation near the river bank are among the most important. It is the unanimous consent of the agriculture boys that their F.F.A. Chapter has accomplished more this year than ever before. The boys are very grateful for this to Mr. Tate, their instructor, for his splendid guidance and co-operative instruction. 59 ADULT EDUCATION PROGRAM The adult education program of Hart Public School was begun during the school year 1949-1950 after a survey followed by a general public meeting established the demand for classes at this level. The program was begun with an offering of typing and Spanish for a period of twelve weeks. During the last nine weeks of the school term a demonstration course in furniture repair and upholstering was made available. During the school year 1950-1951 courses were offered in typing I, typing II, bookkeeping, slipcover making, vocal music, sewing, ceramics, and photography. The program is directed by an adult education committee elected by the people interested in the program. This committee consisting of Mr. Fred hall, Chairman; Mr. Stewart Dillingham, Mr. Don Weaver, Mrs. Frances Melvin, and Miss Katherine Taylor, is responsible to the board of education. Mrs. Marguerite Tate was appointed to complete the unexpired term of Miss Katherine Taylor who rejoined the Waves. The adult education program makes it possible for those who were forced to discontinue their formal education to study in those fields of interest to them, either from the vocational or the avocational standpoint. HART VETERANS’ INSTITUTE The Hart Veterans' Institute has completed another successful year. The enrollment of our Institute is 109 young veteran farmers from all parts of Oceana County. The courses that have been taught the past year are Soils, Farm Crops, Animal Husbandry, Dairy, and Horticulture. We have had five full-time teachers that spend four hours a week in classes and two hours a week with each veteran on his home farm. The five veteran teachers at our Hart Veterans’ Institute are Donald Cargill, Robert Loew, Gilbert Smith, Winston Lewis, and Floyd Fox. We feel that after the first of July the number of veterans attending our Institute will decrease very rapidly, as we have now only a few veterans on our waiting list. This program has proven to be very successful in getting our farm boys, that were in World War II, established on a farm in Oceana County.
