This is the first time that a daily class has been assigned to ready the Hart High Annual for the publishers. All work on the yearbook was doneduringclasstimeand under the direction of Mrs. Frost. In addition to the Hartian, the Journalism Class published the bi-monthly Pirate Main.” The entire school paper was written by the staff members and much valuable experience was gained. BOARD of EDUCATION Vivian Dorman, Trustee: Jack Corbin, Vice President: Neil Spitler, President: Don Weaver Treasurer; Ernest McCarty, Secretary: The leadership of all successful endeavors lies in those whose continual contributions of time, thought and ability are frequently unrecognized by the public. The Hart Board of Education is one such group. How many people would spend so much time and effort, almost entirely unrewarded? Each member is a very busy business man whose time and mind is occupied with personal affairs yet, he willingly devotes his abilities and time to the many problems connected with one of the largest businesses in the community--the school. Each year the student body is increasing and thus developing problems must be decided by this very capable panel of educated men. We, the graduating class of 1957, do wish to hereby raise a voice of appreciation in their behalf. We do thank you for all you have done for us. MR. FRED W. H.

HART SCHOOL TRANSPORTATION The Hart School began transporting pupils to and from school in the fall of 1945. In the beginning the seventh and eighth grades of die Cedar School were transported as that school was then overcrowded. Soon high school students from that area were riding also and with the route changed and lengthened, more students were accommodated. But there was only one bus used that first year. The following year two more were added and by the third year of operation, the entire area from which Hart High draws its students was being served. Some rural districts sent their seventh and eighth graders or their eighth graders in addition to their high school students. Now our buses also transport our own high school and grade children who live outside the corporate limits of Hart and at least a mile from school. Hart now has a fleet of seven buses, six on regular routes and one auxiliary bus. One other, the Mears bus, also transports the high school students of that district to Hart. Altogether there are more than 300 pupils being transported by bus to the Hart School. Tite buses leave for their morning runs soon after 7:00 o’clock which during the winter months is before daylight. They arrive at school at approximately 8:20 a.m. The routes average about 2G miles in length altho the longest one is about 31 miles long. The bus drivers are required to pass a physical examination for fitness eacli year. They are competent, careful drivers, dedicated to taking every precaution possible to prevent accidents. And Hart has an excellent record in that respect. There never has been anyone seriously injured in an accident. Marie G Shirley R Allen F Diana G. Chuck V Marilyn L. Joe L Seniors Jane K. Chuck C.

OUR CLASS HISTORY As proud graduates of gradeschool we migrated to the halls of Hart High School in September of 1953. There were 104 of us and we were known as the Frightened Frosh.” These unfamiliar faces gathered and elected the following officers for their Freshman year. President, Walter Urick; Vice-President, Dan Pearson; Secretary, Nancy Weirich; and Treasurer, Tom Lipski. Our unfortunate advisor was the one and only John Hoffman. We got up enough courage to throw a school party, ‘‘The Hobo-Hop.” The summer flew by and we plunged into the school year of 1954-55. Named to guide us were these “Big Wigs.” President, Dan Pearson; Vice-President, Gene Kokx; Secretary, Nancy Weirich; and Treasurer, Tom Lipski. Our class suffered a big drop-out and membership fell to 90. Mrs. Hill, our English n teacher, was our very capable class advisor. This year we presented the “Maypole Dance.” We also sponsored baked good sales and the ever-popular “Candy Sales.” Throughout the year many Sophomores took an active part in sports, dramatics, and many other activities. In the fall of 1955 we received our new class rings. We undertook the tasks of the coming year with great confidence. These students were carefully selected as Class Officers. President, Dan Pearson; Vice-President, Shirley Robinson; Secretary, Nancy Weirich; and Treasurer, Bill Yeager. For the third consecutive year Lowell Rinker was elected as Class Reporter. On November 18 we gave a Thanksgiving dance, the Cornstalk Stumble.” Before Christmas vacation the 78 members of our class were busy selling magazines, Christmas cards, and sponsoring a pancake supper at Katy’s Kitchen. We were guided through the year’s activities by Mrs. Frost and Mrs. Johnston. Winter melted into the spring of 1956 and we were busy at work on the Banquet and Prom. Our Junior-Senior Banquet came first. It was on April 12 and its theme Out of This World.” The committees planned and worked day and night to finish before June 5. They did a swell job and we all had a dreamy evening “Out of This World.” The summer of 1956 was spent earning money for our big year at H.H.S. At last we’re Seniors and we have reached the final step in our high school education. Named to lead us in our Senior year were these officers. President, Walt Urick; Vice-President, Herb Herrygers; Secretary, Nancy Weirich; and Treasurer, Bill Yeager. Our class advisors were Mr. Kreklow and Mr. Ellegood. Student Council Representatives were Richard Butler and Lowell Rinker. For the first time in four years our skit won first prize at the Halloween Party. We sponsored a very nice Christmas Dance on December 22. Throughout the first semester the 75 Seniors were busy talking about a skip trip. As the schooldays sped by we found ourselves busy in extra-curricular activities.

The club was divided into groups of five to learn to develop pictures and to get some experience in the use of the lab. The students were given tips on the use of dark room equipment. Discussions were held on filters, and taking color slides. The Camera Club sponsored an exhibit of 50 prize-winning pictures from Eastman Kodak’s National High School Photo contest. The Camera Club is planning to visit some other camera studios in Muskegon or elsewhere. The advisor and officers for 1956-57 were: Advisor .... President . . . Vice-President Secretary . . .

During the school year, 1956-1957, the chess club was introduced to Hart High School by its advisor, Mr. Shinn. As many of the members had never played chess before, the first part of the year was spent in learning and playing the game. The regular activity periods were quite short, so the members agreed to meet on alternate Tuesday nights. At the middle of the school year, after the members had learned the fundamentals of chess, a tournament was started consisting of a round robin wherein every participant played one game with every other entrant and a play-off of the top four was held to determine the chess champion. The chess club has provided a means for the students of Hart High to learn and play a game which requires little physical effort and will be a means of relaxing entertainment for the rest of their lives.

The Club met during the activity period every third week with 35 in attendance. Dr. Vannette, who is a qualified National Rifle Association rifle instructor, sponsored the club. The club followed the regular course of rifle instruction prescribed by the National Rifle Association. The National Association was organized in 1871 and is the oldest sportsman’s Organization in the United States. It is a non-profit, non-political, membership corporation. The Aim of this Club is four fold. 1. To enjoy fire arms as a sport. The personal satisfaction in target shooting cannot be compared with any other sport. This great American sport is personal and each may participate. 2. The proper handling of fire arms will reduce our hunting accidents which occur each year. Each member is taught the absolute necessity of making sure of the target before firing. 3. Safe and efficient use of fire arms is a matter of National Defense. This course will act as a preliminary training for military service. 4. We, as club members and those who follow, hope to generate enough interest in our community that some day we shall have a modern indoor range. STAMP CLUB LEFT TO RIGHT: P. Peacock, C.

PIRATES WIN CHAMPIONSHIP Hart’s 9-4 victory over Scott-ville Monday and Whitehall’s 15-1 defeat by North Muskegon gave the Pirates undisputed leadership in the league race and gave them their first championship since 1942. The Pirates blasted Scottville pitching for 10 hits in the season finale, including three extra-base by Jack Franklin, Clare Piper and Louis Griffin. Chuck Collard led the barage with three singles in four times at bat and Allen Flood had two hits. Back-to-back doubles by Franklin and Piper in the first inning produced a run and Louis Griffin brought Piper in with a sacrifice fly. Flood’s single, a walk, an error, and Griffin’s double produced two more in the second. Coi-lard singled to start the third and before the inning was over, a walk and two errors had accounted for three runs. The Hart nine capped the scoring in the seventh Collard and Ron Foster singled. A wild pitch and two infield outs produced two runs. Scottville picked up single runs in the first, second, fourth, and sixth inning. Clare Piper allowed but four hits in recording his sixth victory of the season. He struck out 12 batters while walking five. Jack Franklin made the play of the day with a leaping catch of a line drive to end the game. PIRATES WIN BASEBALL OPENER OVER MONTAGUE The Hart Pirates swamped Montague 11-0 Monday to win their first baseball game in two years. Claire Piper allowed but two hits and struck out 13 Montague batsmen in the course of the game. The hits came in the third and fourth innings on a ground ball into left field. Piper was in trouble only once. The Wildcats loaded the bases in the fourth on an error, single, and a walk but the inning ended when Hundquist lined to Brimmer. Allen Flood drove in the first Hart run in the second inning with a sharp single to left. Montague used three hurlers in trying to stop a five-run outburst in the fourth, the Pirates’ big inning. Bob Lewis and Louis Griffin accounted for four of the runs with two bascs-loaded singles. Flood singled home another in the seventh before Piper chased home the final two with a long double. The Pirates host North Muskegon this afternoon at 4:00 on the local athletic field. Hart 0105023 - 11 63 Montague 0000000-01 4 Winner—Piper Loser—Cedar quist BASEBALL SCORES THEY Montague 0 N.

It was their second win in a row and left them on top of the West Michigan league. The Pirates blasted Norsemen pitcher Ron Simonelli for six runs in the top of the first, but their bats were silent until Flood unloaded his blow in the seventh. Seven batters reached bases safely before Simonelli shut the door. Stan Griffin’s double and a single by Chuck Collard were the only hits in the inning, however. North Muskegon tied the score with a run in the first, two in the second, and three in the third before Clare Piper settled down to get the last twelve batters in a row. Last Thursday, the Pirates WE spotted Montague a 2-run lead and then jumped on Wildcat . . starter Arlan Cedarquist for five runs in the third. Singles by Chuck Brimmer, Bob Flannery, 12 and Allen Flood spurred the out- burst.
