During the past year the Board of Education has been extremely energetic in coping with certain difficult problems that have arisen. Much credit should be given the School Board and the Superintendent of Schools for their success in reducing the cost of education and at the same time maintaining the high standards and reputation of the Hastings Public Schools. Due to the financial conditions this year it was necessary to take measures of strict economy. The school budget has been reduced S20,()()() for the year 1932-33. The Board of Education has co-operated faithfully and well with all community and school projects. Mrs. Emmy Keller and Mrs. Nora Heath have served for 12 years. Mr. C. W. Wespinter and Mr. ('has. Potts have been on the Board of Educa- tion for 5 years. Mr. A. Lynn Brown, the newest member, has been serving for the past 2 years. 1 10 I FORTNIGHT ANNUAL School Administration [ in Front Row, left to right: Miss E. Ucald, Miss V. Reynolds, Miss M.

Coach Hawthorne was handicapped by the lack of veterans, but he speedily developed the squad into a fast and hard-hitting team. The Varsity team won three Conference games and took third place in the Little Seven. One thing that characterized this year’s team was the indomitable fighting spirit that lasted until the final whistle blew. With thirteen letter men back new year, the prospects of a winning team are exceptionally bright. The following men won Varsity H’s: Boyes, Bishop, Chase, Cogswell, F. Cronk, R. Cronk, Finstrom, Furrow, Howard, Hewitt, James, Karmes, Keller, R. Kelly, Kennedy, Lechleitner, Sheffield, Snyder, Townsend, and Zerbel. Positions Ends—Lechleitner, Kennedy, Howard. Tackles—Chase, R.

The Varsity Basketball team started the season by losing to St. Phillips of Battle Creek. The opener was lost by a two point margin, and from then on hard luck trailed the squad. Ineligibilities and injuries forced several of the first string play- ers to the side-lines and necessitated the working out of new scoring combinations. Hastings closed the season at the Regional Tournament at Union High School in Grand Rapids. In the first round of tournament play, Hastings defeated the fast Ionia team, only to be vanquished in the second round by Greenville. The Hastings Reserves showed unusual strength this year, losing but one game in their entire schedule. Varsity H’s were awarded to the following players: McMillan, Kennedy, Raidt, Karmes, Howard, Boyes, James, Adair, Lechleitner and Snyder. Positions Forwards—Boyes, Karmes, Lechleitner, Howard.

Hastings made its bid for state honors in Class B schools this year by winning the Little Seven Conference championship at the Michigan State College Athletic field. East Lansing, Michigan. The final score showed a total of 47 points for the Hastings thin clads; Howell, .47. Charlotte, 47, and Grand Ledge, 11. In the initial meets of the season, Hastings won second place in a triangular con- test between Grand Rapids Union, Allegan and Hastings. Grand Rapids garnered the greater number of points for the day. The local tracksters vanquished Lake- view High School of Battle Creek and also outpointed the Ionia squad, taking first place on both days. The Hastings boys took seven firsts at Ionia, and nine out of of ten first places in the Lakeview meet. Events Mile—Gardner, Larabee. Half Mile—R.

The girls’ physical education department outlined an extensive intramural pro- gram in whch all classes participated. Each class played six full games, and the finish of the tournament showed two teams, the Freshmen and the Juniors, tied for first honors. The Seniors won second place, and the Sophomores trailed in the league. The desire to stimulate a healthy interest in sports has started school-wide con- tests in girls’ athletics, in which the results have been extremely gratifying. The fact that the Freshmen class equalled the Juniors gives evidence that a good foundation is being constructed in the grades. The captains of the respective teams were: Freshmen, Winona Brooks: Sopho- mores, Alice Fingleton; Juniors, Charlotte Hubbard; Seniors, Charlotte Bessmer.

Representatives from all the school organizations, the assistant principal, the dean of girls, the four class presidents, an adviser appointed from each class, the director of physical education have composed the council in previous years. This year the director of physical education for girls was added to the council members. As is customary, the council has sponsored the Spotlight , a mixer, and all High School party which took the place of the usual Four Class party, Clean-up Day, and the Water Carnival. No High School Banquet was held. Many of the contests the H. H. S. usually enters, were eliminated this year. Fortnight Stall’ c1 During the past year the Journalism Class, under the supervision of Mr. Harold Logan, has published the school paper aixl the year book. An effort has been made to make the course as practical as possible. At the beginning of each semester editors for the various departments are chosen. The news editor assigns articles for the ensuing issue, the editor-in-chief makes up the dummy, the advertising manager arranges the advertisements in a uniform manner, and the rest of the staff act as assistants. Originality is encouraged. Special sections are devoted to features, and all High School students are given the opportunity to contribute to the publication. Work is usually begun on the Fortnight Annual late in November and is completed in June. The class endeavors to give an accurate account of all school events through the medium of the paper. Great care is exercised in arranging and writing material properly, and through the past years the efforts of the organization have received honors from the National Scholastic Press Association and the Michigan Interscholastic Press Association. Second honors among Class C papers went to the Fortnight this year. The publication missed first place in the state by three points. The final count for the winners was 82 while Hastings followed closely with a rating of 79. FORTNIGHT ANNUAL Bovs’ Union Council First Row, left to right: G. Dewey, J. Stakelv, Mr. Becker adviser, R.

It is composed of representatives from football, basketball, track, Hi-Y, Congress, Safety Patrol, and one from each class. The President, Vice-President, and Sergeant- at-Arms are elected in the fall. This council plans the boys’ assemblies for each month, and in May it entertains the boys from schools which Hastings has met in basketball and football. They also entertain the girls once during the year. The representatives from each class give one program, and the Vice-President is chairman of the program. This year the council planned and presented some very good entertainments which all the boys have enjoyed and will remember for years to come. Girls’ League Board President Sarah Gillespie Vice-President Blanche Springer Secretary Maxine Webster Treasurer Barbara Johnson Representative to Faculty-Student Council Sarah Gillespie The Girls' League includes in its membership, every girl in the high school. Each of the four classes is represented on the Executive Board which meets every alternate Thursday. Four units, the Vocational, the Entertainment, the Social Service, and the Athletic, carry on the work of the organization. A party welcoming the Freshmen girls was held in the fall, and a costume party in the winter for all girls proved successful. A fifty-dollar scholarship was awarded to a very worthy girl who wished to attend college. Cake sales were held at various times during the year, and also a Christmas card sale. Each month, an educational assembly program was presented for the girls. The boys were guests of the League at an enterainment given last April.

[54] Orchestra Under the careful direction of Mr. Overley, the High School Orchestra, in its two years of revised organization, has advanced to the position of a valuable and efficient musical unit in the school's curriculum. Directing under the handicap of a minimum number of players, Mr. Overley has provided a noteworthy amount of entertainment at several school functions and has given the players themselves excellent instruction in orchestra work. Members of the orchestra are also to be complimented on their co-operation which has made this work possible.

Lacking the enthusiasm desired, the C lub was dissolved the second semester but will l e organized again in September, enrollment permitting. The Boys’ Glee Club together with the Girls’ successfully staged the operetta “Pepita.” I he ( lub, although in the process of making for a number of years, was not in the form of an organization until a year ago. Miss Frances Hunter is to be congratu- lated for her work in directing the Club in the last two years. Officers for the past year were: President ... Collier Rearick Vice-President .... Donald Goucher Secretary and Treasurer Leo Tift Saft ty Patrol Captain .................. Roy Finstrom Lieutenant.......................................Russell Zerbel Faculty Adviser—Mr. Yerrol Conklin. Through the noteworthy supervision of the Safety Patrol, a system of traffic and fire drill regulation has been established in the school. Since its organization in 1928, through the auspices of the Detroit Automobile Club, the Safety Patrol has carried on its annual program very successfully. Much credit for this work should be given to Mr. Conklin, who has taken charge, and also to the boys who have co-operated with him. 157| 5 First Row, left to right: B. Reickord, B. Karines, B.

I 58 ) FORTNIGHT ANNUAL Dramatic Club Pre ident Vice-President Secretary and t reasurer Faculty Student Council Representative Thomas Myers Maxine Henton Virginia Potts Lloyd Cogswell The play's the thing! That is what the Dramatic Club thinks- —to study as much as they can about the theatre, its history and actors. This year they have experi- mented somewhat in the making of masks, having made several foundation masks. They hope to continue with them until the fundamentals are acquired. For two club meetings, one-act plays have been read, and stage settings of each worked out and discussed by the club. April 15th the club presented two one-act plays. Lady Gregory’s “Rising of the Moon” and Constance D'Arcy Mackay’s “The Prince of Court Painters” for the Women's Club. Girls Glee Club President Secretary Treasurer Librarians Emma Chandler Virginia Potts Helen Clark Helen An gel I, Jean Stedge Under the direction of Miss Hunter, the High School Girls’ Glee ( lub has pro- gressed rapidly.

Oratory, Declamation ami Extempore Speaking I eft to right: Irene Jones, Mr. Becker coach, Melvin Jacobs. This year the debate squad of fifteen members, five of whom were not taking class work, had numerous discussions on two subjects: “Resolved, that the State of Michigan should enact legislation providing for a sys- tem of Compulsory Unemployment Insurance. Resolved, that the Volstead Act should be modified to allow light wines and beer.” In the State League the question of Unemployment Insurance was used. Here the debaters met Eaton Rapids, Grand Rapids Central, Marshall, Grand Rapids Ottawa. The first of these encounters was won by the decision of an expert judge, the second was lost by a two to one decision, and the others were won by the same kind of decision. This entitled Hastings to enter the State Elimination Contest where they de- feated Kalamazoo Central, but were finally conquered by Zeeland High School. Because of their success in entering the eliminations, the debaters were awarded a wall plaque by the Detroit Free Press. The squad also joined the Grand River Valley League, a new league. Here they met Belding, Greenville, and Ionia, each twice on the opposite side of the Unem- ployment Insurance Question. They were scheduled to meet Lowell and I ake Odessa, but the former dropped out of the league, and the latter refused to debate the Prohi- bition question. The debaters gave several audience-decision debates on both questions at local schools, churches, and clubs. At the end of the season, the squad and the alumni debaters were invited to a debate recognition banquet. At the banquet, Vernon Wininger, Jeanne Cincebeaux, Irene Jones, Lillian Tolhurst, Herbert Cooper, Melvin Jacobs, Nelson Gardner, and Hubert Follick were given first year awards, Roy Heath and Irene Cooper were given second year awards, and Helen Weaver was given a fourth year award. These were newly designed in the form of pins and guards or charms and were given be- cause of service to the squad and participation in debates. Oratory, Declamation and Extempore Speaking The Declamation Contest was w:on by Irene Jones, with Herbert Cooper, last year’s winner, running a close second. Her declamation was U. S. No. 9653. Melvin Jacobs took first place in Oratory w ith his oration, “Washington Speaks.” These two speakers went to Grand Rapids to participate in the sub-district con- test. There, with Grand Rapids South, Central, Creston, Union, and Eastern Highs, and Grandville, Sparta, Lowell, and Caledonia as opponents, Irene tied for third place, and Melvin took fifth place against the same opponents with the exception of Sparta. Melvin, also, wron the school Extempore Speaking Contest. He represented Hastings in an invitational contest of ten counties, sponsored by the Western State Teachers College at Kalamazoo, May 14. Here he and Mr. Becker were guests at the annual debate banquet. | bl ] Autographs 163) FORTNIGHT ANNUAL Autographs
