On September 7, 1949, Hastings High came alive once more. After a short summer of idle- ness she was all decked out in new paint to greet the shining faces of 603 students, a record enroll- ment. New to H.H.S., besides the “freshies,” were five faculty members: Mrs. Williams, Miss J. Smith, Miss Y. Smith, Mr. Hulbert, and Mr. Withers. It wasn’t long before the old brain factory was rolling again. Coach Hanson’s Saxon gridmen, who had begun practicing a week before, were becoming accustomed to their lot, de- termined to do their best for Hastings High. The seventy-five member band, under the direction of Lewis Hine, would be led this year by Arkie Meinert, as soon as a long enough uniform could be obtained. As September rolled into October, Stan Pierce was elected captain of the football squad. Also about this time the pheasant hunters began look- ing foreward to October IS, for on that day they could go hunting without facing the dreaded blue slip on their return. The Saxon football team won cheers as they chalked up the first win ol the season over the Grand Ledge Comets. On October 16, Miss Julia Smith and Myrna Knowles simultaniously gave a sigh of relief, for they had been working their heads to the bone over the “Spotlight” since September. Now it was over, and a credit to those who gave their time and talentf?). As October gave way to November, football gave way to basketball. Bob Bradford was destined to become captain of the varsity quintet. The Ag-He departments were also busy, for they were to hold the annual open house on November 12. Pat Davis and Bernard Neubert were chair- men of the fair. Not to be outdone the music department presented the fall concert of Novem- ber 19, with glee clubs, choir, and band partici- pating. The next night was the first school party, presented by the F.A.A. So for all social pur- poses, fall danced out of the picture at the Autumn Swirl.
