Hart High School - Hartian Yearbook (Hart, MI)

In the fail we started on this classic, the HARTIAN. Members of Helen Spitler's Homecoming court included Betsy Fuller, Karen Hill, and Sue Snellen-berger. Although our road-runner on the Senior float did not run away with honors, we were very proud of him. The float carried the football players' motto: Catch us if you Can. Snowflake Fantasy, a dance put on by the Seniors, highlighted the Christmas season. Bradley Clark and Shirley Brandel reigned over the Sweethearts' Ball as King and Queen. Then we ordered our announcements and name cards and were measured for our caps and gowns. The remaining months of our high school careers brought many banquets and the Junior-Senior Prom. Then, on June 3 we graduated. Four years of high school were behind us; years filled with friendships, hard work, fun, and even some disappointments. Before we realized it, our school years were only memories. Memories Girls in short skirts doing cartwheels and leading cheers for the local heroes; a football soaring through the air to cross the goal posts; the band playing Mr. Touchdown while little kids throw confetti over the crowd .... this is high school. Running down the halls to be first in the lunch line; fumbling with locker combinations between classes; nervously waiting for the grades of the last math test .... this is high school—four years spent in pursuit of an education and an identity; the time in which an adolescent becomes an adult. The thoughts of a freshman when he enters high school are centered on the day that he will be a senior, walking out of the door of his alma mater to conquer the world; and the wish of many a senior is to be a freshman again. For those who are near the completion of their high school careers, there may be regret at leaving the security of familiarity and facing the challenge of stepping into the world as an adult. The high school environment presents the opportunity to create new interests, form strong friendships, and become more familiar with one's self. These advantages are not easily forsaken for an unproven future. Football games and math tests, lunch lines and locker combinations are the souvenirs of a high school career. These will be the colorful memories of a time spent in developing character and identity, but in reality the foremost reason for attending school is to obtain an education. Knowledge is the cornerstone of success. The application of this knowledge will assure us of finding a place in this changing world as we make our contribution to society. In the four years of high school we have grown in knowledge and laid a firm foundation for the future.

Highlights In the fall of 1962, 115 frightened Freshmen entered the halls of the new Hart High School. It took us a while to get acquainted with each other and the school, but we soon felt at home. We elected the following class officers: President - Bob Hogarth Secretary - Helen Spitler Vice-President - Doug Dillingham Treasurer - Oscar Cavazos Student Council Representatives - Charlie Johnston, Barry Osborn Our first real project was constructing a float for the Homecoming activities: the theme was Hot off the Press. It didn't take top prize but we were pleased with our work. Helen Spitler represented our class on the Homecoming court. At the Sweethearts' Ball, Cathy Fenton and Bill Turner were our candidates for Queen and King. In April we put on the Twirp Dance entitled Young Lovers, and in May at the Junior-Senior Prom, Mardi Gras, Freshman servers paraded the gym as clowns and cigarette girls. We began our Sophomore year with the following class officers: President - Tom Fatseas Secretary - Cathy Fenton Vice-President - Eileen Carlson Treasurer - Stan Rickard Student Council Representatives - Barry Osborn, Doug Dillingham Our Homecoming float Toss 'Em Up, again was an also ran. Our representative on the Court was Eileen Carlson. We endeavored to raise money by selling fourth-rate candy for our first-rate prices—made a lot of money. Our Sweethearts' Ball candidates that year were Sue Snellenberger and Doug Dillingham. As the Beatles were all the rage that spring, the theme for the Sophomore party was naturally the Beatle Ball, featuring our own Beatles--Butch Butler, Barry Osborn, Terry Thompson, and Doug Dillingham. Also that spring, a group of Sophomores served at the Junior-Senior Banquet. Juniors! We had a busy year ahead of us. President - Helen Spitler Vice-President - Bradley Clark Student Council Representatives - The slate of officers for our Junior year was: Secretary - Lorna Holcomb Treasurer - Stan Rickard Doug Dillingham, Terry Thompson Our float at the Homecoming won second place with the theme Let's Compute Victory.

We planned the Junior-Senior Banquet around the theme Moonlight and Roses. Many feverish days and nights of hard work resulted in our spectacular prom Isle of Paradise. Seniors at last!
