Mr. Henrx A8 CZLCDL Now We come to that learned group, the faculty. Many new faces and varied person- alities greeted us at the opening of school last September. A few - Mr. Donnelly, Mr. Baad, Mr. Tolly, and Miss Eiden -ef left us during the course of the year. Members of the faculty have sponsored school activities this year with their usual care and patience. During the school spirit campaign, the faculty put on an assembly seconding The Challenge presented by members of the student body the previous week. A never-to-be-forgotten skit was given by the teachers for public entertainment at the Sophomore Prom, when the poem, The Shooting of Dan McGrew was read and acted out in pantomime. We regret that some members of the faculty will not be with us again next year, but express our best wishes to the faculty of l9-43. page eight NICK'S IQOUM OF SLAVERY page nine MISS EFEICSONS TYPING ROOM STEVE PLUS LAB YIELDS CHEMISTRY PREPARING EOR SENIOR HIGH page seven MAI2TYS MATH CLASS page eieven FFF? - SPACE JJJJ - SPACE Seaicvza ni. 5 We :ii WWII ga S ' , o K XO Q9 page Faurteen V.

Mr. Cuniivliy, amor C4155 The seniors freshman year, under the fatherly guidance of their class adviser, Mr. Hohman, began their long trek toward graduation. In their first meeting they elected Carl Clark as their president, George Mains as vice president, Richard Ely as treasurer, and Valerie Levy as secretary. As freshmen they had begun to take greater part in the school activities, and made their first real appearance at the anual Sophomore Banquet The following year Mrs. Barron took over as their adviser. All of the class officers went to boys: Eddie Barber, president: George Mains, once again vice presidenty and Ber- nard Fansler, secretary and treasurer. Lloyd Worthington and Richard Ennis represented the class on the student council. This year they broke the twenty year old tradition of the Sophomore Banquet, and instead presented the Sophomore Spring Swing. They retain- ed the program of speakers and stunts given by each class, and secured Mrs, Samenen as Mistress of Ceremonies. Their theme was The Airplane Flight . Everyone had such a good time dancing to the music of Ted Wa'worth's band that they forgave them for jump- ing off the beaten track. X Mrs. Martinen had the thankless job of advising this class during their junior year. At the first class meeting they e'ected janet Cook presidenty Marilyn Stiles, vice president: Valerie Levy, secretaryp and Tlielrna English treasurer. Don Gemmill and lean Gelenius were the junior members of the student council. ln May they presented their junior play, Young April , under the direction of Mrs. Samenen. The Kiwanis Club helped them sell tickets and consequently they had a full house. They also entertained the seniors at the annual jr.-Sr. Reception. With decorations, the gymnasium was converted into a sidewalk cafe. Gene Nelson's band furnished music for dancing, and punch was served. At last they became the mighty seniors! Their class adviser, Mr. Baad, left to take a better position, and his sucessor, Mr. Connelly, was their adviser for the rest of the year. Marilyn Stiles became president this year with Marilyn jones as vice president. Tommy England, was elected secretary, and Cleo Winchell took the treasurer's job. The Student Council was renamed the student War Council, and their representatives, janet Cook and Clyde Stratton, were chosen president and vice president, respectively. Mr. Roach, the new dramatic coach, directed the senior play, entitled Remember the Day . lt made a real hit with the full house that attended it. They also enjoyed the traditional skip day, held on May 20th. Starting with an unusually large class, they lost several of their members to the armed forces of the nation. However, at graduation they were still one hundred strong. Now that they are departing, they leave all the honor and responsibility of the Maize and Blue of Hillsdale High to the classes which will follow them. May they always remember that H.l-LS. deserves only the best. page fifteen DONNA ALTFILLISH General Course5 G. R. l, 45 GAA l, Band l5 Tween Towers l, 45 Badminton l, 4.

With the o- pening of school, the luniors elected officers who were Ardis McNeil, president, Robert Caul- kins, vice-president, C. I. Howe, treasurerg angl Sarah Dimmers, secretary. Iohn Maclititchie and Doris Iennings were chosen student council members. Mr. Kerbawy served as class adviser. Many class activities have been chalked up, including two class parties, one in November and one in March. Both were very successful affairs. On April 30th, the class play, Don't Take My Penny, was presented to a full house. The Iuniors also won the inter-class contest coming in at the very last with over three thousand dollars Worth of stamps and bonds. The crowning glory was that big social event of the year, the Iunior-Senior Reception. This fine party, given to honor and say farewell to the Seniors, was one long to be re- membered. Summing it all up, an exceptionally fine year is behind the class of '44 and they are looking forward to their Senior days. page thirty-three Norma Bates.

An unusually large and spirited class, they have added to the student body in the Way or parties and inter-class CO ntests. As usual, the first duty of this class was to elect officers. At this meeting Tom Sawyer was elected presldent, LaVerne Giaque, vice-president, Ioan Dibble, secretary: and Martha Beck, treasurer. Mrs. Barron again acted as class adviser, keeping all Sophomores in tow. Three major events can be credited to this class, two parties and the famous Sopho- mores Spring Prom. Both of the parties Were very successful and were held in the lunior Music room with the usual games and refreshments. The Prom, general chairman Sally Douglass, was a party for the memory hook because of its clever stunts, speeches, and decorations. The class of '45 may indeed be proud of a fine year. page tliirty-seven -1 sw 5 l .V lii Qi 1-..: ' - Q . l 4 1' 4 Sli Y fl 5 '31 Q Q S? 1 DSE 5 fm K a Af' , ig in , X u E . .s 'ME A ' . . ' , 1 ,: .

JV85 l4fL6LlfL 01,555 The Iunior Hi's top class of active and popular freshmen selected Morris Finisy as their president for the school year. Dick Gettings provided the vice for the class as undezstudy to Morris. Betty Schmidt scribbled notes, officially termed minutes, acting as secretary. Counting her stocks of money was treasurer, Beverley Taylor. All these little boys and girls threw together the exciting and surprising class play Murder in Rehearsal . The play was the big thing in their year and set a precedent for future freshman classes. They did their share in the skit department for the Sophomore Prom. A radio pro- gram provided background for their performance. A couple of Friday night parties provided variety during the long spring months. Clev- erly decorated, Iunior High music room provided location for the success. Among other activities the freshmen participated in the scrap drive and contributed money for chorus robes. Furthermore, there was at least one freshman boy in each ath- letic activity! An energetic and resourceful class is on its way into a colorful career in Senior High. page Forty-one , '1-'2.

SST of f W ' A loyal and patriotic student council changed its name this year to the Student War Council, in order to be in accord with the times. The Council, made up of the presidents, Vice-presidents, and representatives of the senior high grades, got under way in their first meeting of the year by electing officers. Those students elected to the offices wereg pres- ident, lanet Cook: vice president, Clyde Stratton: secretary, Doris lenningsg and treasurer, LaVerne Giaque. With Mr. Henry as its adviser, the council started the year by promoting the scrap drive for the senior high school. A large scrap pile in front of the school house was the result of this enterprise. Following this the council boosted the victory book campaign by sponsoring an assem- bly, with an admission fee of one book. They used the slogan, The one you want to keep is the one to give. The students responded with a great many fine books for our fighting men. At the beginning of the new year, the council voted to push the sale of war stamps and bonds by staging a contest between the Sophomores, Iuniors, and Seniors. When the contest closed May 4, the losing grade was responsible for giving a party for the other two grades. The Seniors could not equal or surpass the flood of money that poured in from the Sophomores and Iuniorsp therefore a Victory party was given May Zl by the Seniors in honor of the winning grades. In the meantime, during April, another stamp contest was being waged by home rooms. The room having the lowest percentage of participation by the students in buying stamps and bonds was destined to give an assembly for the rest of the senior high. As a result of these contests the stamp and bond sales were boosted nearly eighty percent. In honor of the graduates of Hillsdale High who are in the armed service, an almost com- plete honor roll was made by members of the council. This honor roll, consisting of nearly one hundred and fifty names was published in the Tween Towers in the March issue. The Student War Council has devoted all its time to aiding the war effort. We hope our boys have received some of its benefits.. - page forty-eight k,ICt,'llND HHW-N. Lumberson. IC. Holmes, D. Smith, M. Finiry, B. WVooftm:.rn. J. Beck, lf'Ilt!7T IIUW-'XXI Setter.

This or- ganization is made up of four students from each qrade, who meet and solve some of the problems that come up during their school activities. Morris Finisey was made president: Betty lean Woodman, vice president, Dick Smith, secretary: and Betsy Friedrichs, treasurer. This qroup, under the direction of Mr, 2-lohrnan, has been extremely active the year for a new organization. They have not only qiven several parties, but also have sponsored a scrap drive. Prom this scrap they obtained a substantial amount of money and gener- ously donated S525.00 to the Red Cross and 525.00 to the U.S.O. The remaining amount was donated to the chorus in order to help buy their gowns. The Iun'or High Student Council has proven itself to be a fine organization and we hope it will continue to function for many years to come. page forty-nine THIRD llOWfI4. l'm-rrin, l'. Johnson, li.

CDF fi f Something new has been added to our list of extracurricular activities A Latin Club, Laticlave, to all past and present Latin students, was formed and organized in March. The members are the students of the class which meets second hour, and they have chosen Paul Coppeler, presidentg Nancy Farnsworth, vice president, and Ioan Dibble, sec- retary. Under the motto Those who do not advance, fall behind, the club chose the theme, Roman Life for their meetings this year. Using a system whereby every member had an opportunity to be a discussion leader. various students gave talks concerning customs of the ancient Romans. Meetings were held twice monthly under the advisership of Miss Hackett, Latin teacher. For the annual Latin Week in April the club gave the traditional Latin Assembly. Under the direction of various members, several skits and a Roman dance were presented. This enthusiastic Club is planning on sending in an application to be connected with the National Latin Headquarters for next year. Other plans for next year include dues for the members, consequently they will be able to be more active in school affairs. This club is different and definitely advancing, leaving no opportunity to fall behind. page FiFty C' C' ,JIM f!fLl 8 6l,l l4fL8I 5 Are you hungry? Do you long tor a nice, thick steak smothered in mushrooms? ? The Future Farmers to the rescue! But where are they? Oh, here they are-hidden down in Mr. Rawson's room and dreaming ot--blood! ' Dean Peacock was elected president ot this industrious organization with Don Gemmill as vice president. Carl Clark flourished the pen as secretary. Business with a capital B was the program forthe year. State reports, and business records were taken ott in due order.. Since all-county meetings were abolished due to qas rationing, the boys were confined to local chapter meetings but in order to keep up with the best methods ot farming, increased correspondence with other organizations became nec- essary. On the exhibition side ot farming, we iind grain and vegetable displays were pre- sented at the county fair in the tall by our Future Farmers. ln the sports world, a Future Farmers Backetball team gave stitt competition in this year's intramurals. New Future Farmers this year were Richard Strauss, Tom Bates, Richard Watkins, Dean Houghtby, Richard Scoville, lunior Hamm and Richard Sell. Striving for State Farmer's degree were Carl Clark, Dean Peacock, and Don Gemmill. To reach this goal, these boys must be in the upper 402 ot the class, and they should have 35250.00 Chow could they . . . hmmmmm?l saved tor or invested in livestock or equipment. Also, during the past two years they have had to produce a large number ot crops and livestock. tHope they keep on doing it, because l'm hungryll For the State Convention at East Lansing in April, Dean Peacock and Don Gemmill Cthose two get aroundll were chosen to attend. This increasingly important organization has plowed its way successfully through the past year leaving social activities to the starving and tended to business matters completely!

For the first time in its twenty six years of existence the club had a junior president. Former presidents have been seniors. Loralceth Moore held this office with Marilyn Stiles as vice president: Sally Chapman, secretary: Carol lean Storer, treasurer. Miss Laaninen and Miss Smith held sway as faculty advisers. The annual Freshman Party provided a means for getting acquainted with the new members. These new members attended separate meetings on Thursdays for several Weeks during the fall to learn the procedures of the club under the direction of Miss Laaninen aid Marilyn Stiles, preparatory to their initiation in November. Unexpectedly, the girls were notified to have the annual conference here, if possible, in November. It was possible! lean Gelenius was general chairman of the affair. Girls from Reading, Waldron, Litchfield and Coldwater attended this district conference. For Christmas the service department went into action! The senior girls sent boxes to boys in the service and the juniors furnished a basket for a needy family, the sophomores collected money for the Community Nursery School and the freshmen gave a party for underprivileged children. ln early February the Girl Reserve and Hi-Y co-operated in presenting the popular G.R.-Hi-Y formal. The party was held in the Iunior High music room and couples dan- ced to the smooth music of the Rhythm Masters. Katherine Rogers and Dick Scovill were co-chairmen of this annual occasion. The girl's fathers were next on the list of guests to be entertained. March i8 saw them escorting their dads to the Carl Bailey school for a banquet. Katherine Rogers was social chairman in charge of the proceedings and Hon. ludge Charles O. Arch was the speaker. Other spring events included election of next year's officers under a new system of election, the annual Mother-Daughter tea, and the traditional Senior Breakfast. One of the most important highlights of the second semester was the visit made by Miss Lazelle Alway of the national board of the Y.W.C.A. on April 28. Another eventful year can be chalked up to history and the girls are hoping to see just as successful a year beginning next fall. page Fifty-two L - The senior and junior boys gathered together, all on a Wednesday night . . Thus began this year's Hi-Y organization under the presidency of Curly Ennis with Bill Iohnson to substitute as vice-president when necessary. Gene Hale was there first semester to take the minutes and read 'em off at the next meeting while Bill Ford paid another kind of bills as treasurer. Mr. Samenen filled the job as group adviser. On November 4, initiation services were held for l9 new members after a co-opera- tive supper. The new initiates increased the membership to approximately 35 members. Later in the month the boys sponsored a pep session for the last football game of the sea- son with Vicksburg.. An Older Boys' Conference was held in Kalamazoo on December 4 and 5. I-Iillsdale's Hi-Y club was represented by two junior members, Frederick Greenley and lim Robison. In Ianuary the fellows combined with the Girl Reserves to hear Mrs. Preston Slosson's talk on family relationships. They also helped contribute the muscle, money, and co-op- eration necessary for putting on the traditional G.B.iHi-Y formal held on February 5. Dick Scoville was the Hi-Y chairman along with Katherine Bogers, G. B. chairman. Later in February the club had its mid-year election of officers. Don Van Arsdalen, senior, took over as president: Bob Isaacson, vice-president: Carl Clark, secretary, Doc Howe, treasurer, and lohn MacBitchie, serqeantot-arms. A membership drive occupied the club's efforts for the next month or two. The annual meeting of the Hi-Y of the southwestern section of Michigan was held in Battle Creek on April 26. Our local organization was represented by several of its mem-- hersg Bob Watkins, Bill Ford, Iohn MacBitchie, Don Van Arsdalen, Lloyd Worthington, Bob Caulkins and Dick Scovill. New methods of club management and programs were dis- cussed and brought back by the boys to be incorporated into next year's club. ln early May the club sponsored another assembly. Two Iapanese students attending Hillsdale Col- lege spoke about their experfences in the relocation camps and here at the college. They had previously talked to the boys at one of their meetings. The officers for next year were chosen in May, too. Dean Foulke will be presioentg Fred Greenley, vice-presidenty Charles Gregory, secretary: Paul Borton, treasurer: and Dick Scoville, sergeant-at-arms. SECOND IiflXYfL. Worthington, li. lsnfiwun. .l.

Living up to their title as Boosters, the members elected Carl Clark as presidentg Clyde Stratton, vice president Doris lennings, secretaryg and Onalee Townsend, treasurer. Miss Mary Alice Smith acted as iaculty adviser. ln early November,, the annual initiation banquet was held in the cafeteria. Mr. William Carmichael, Y.M.C.A. secretary was the speaker oi the evening, giving several new ideas as to what such a club could do tar the school. ln a lighter vein, he served as song leader. ln March, the results oi several weeks pl inning and work headed by Ioan Dibble were presented as the new and ver ydiiierent Variety Show . Under the direction oi Mr. Con- nelly, a grand combination oi old style talent and a running accompaniment by the mod- ern Rhythm Masters supplied the audience with an enjoyable evenings entertainment Sufficient profit was made irom the Variety Show to enable the club to contribute a sub- stantial amount to the Senior High Chorus for their long-awaited robes. Next year's club will have money to back them in planning definitely tor the publishing of a Hillsdale High School Handbook. This year has seen the return ot the Senior Booster Club to an active part in the school attairs, and we are sure everybody is happy about it. page Fifty-Pour CCUND ltUWfeM. Stratton, .l. lie-lenius.

Boosting scholarship and supporting worthwhile projects and programs form the policy of this organization. Vlfith the forty new members from the seventh grade who were initiated in February, the club's membership has been the largest in several years. The boys and girls have sponsored ice cream sales. Among their activities this year we find they started a bulletin board in the Iunior High library and sponsored an entertain- ing assembly by a chalk artist. Being of a generous nature, this organization contributed handsomely to the chorus for their robes, and bought ping-pong balls and phonograph records. I Socially their big event was an elaborate costume party held in the Iunior High music room. Varied entertainments and refreshments were on hand for the guests. A new type of club government was instituted with the formation of a Iunior High Booster Club Council. It consists of the Club officers and one representative from each home room thus making their influence felt by all students. Ending the year with Betty Iane Woodman as president, Shirley Scovill, vice president: Lillian Nordin, secretary: and Sarah lane Dohse, treasurer: the club is looking forward to a- nother profitable school term.

' z?...,,z The fall season opened for the band with fifty six would-be musicians and a new idea for a formation to give at one of the later football games. Under the direction of Mr. Rob- ert Lint a patriotic pageant was perfected and the boys and girls marched their feet off any to have the big night arrive .... but convoyed by rain! The band did one of the small- er formations from the whole and left the rest for some future band and football game! On November eleventh, the band participated in the Armistice Day assembly with guest speakers from the college and Fort Custer. Our annual Christmas concert occupied the time and labor of the band, orchestra, and chorus. ln spite of being last ibut not leastl, on the program, the band had a varied and exciting group of pieces. March of this year proved an important month in the career of the band. They played at the Army-Navy E presentation at the Allied Products. From this came outside publicity in a trade paper and other publications. This year the annual Music Festival has become another casualty of the war, in Mr. Lint's words. Consequently, for a spring program the three top musical organizations planned and presented a concert on May 27. This appearance was followed by the bands presence at the annual exhibit in Iune. During the year the band gave an assembly of light, entertaining music for the stu- dents' enjoyment. Another successful and colorful year has been filed away in the history annals of our popular band. page fifty-six OrcAe5f1f'a Composed of thirty four students, the orchestra made its first important appearance at the Senior Play on December 4, under the baton of Robert Lint. They played before tho curtain rose and in between acts. December twenty second saw their second appearance at the Christmas Concert. Opening the program they were led by Edwyn Hames of the college for the first number, At another point, they accompanied the chorus in America , a tone poem. An assembly was given by this organization in early April. The music was for enter- tainment purposes only and did its job well! At the last of this month, the orchestra play- ed for the lunior Play before the rise of the curtain and between acts. On May 27, they co-operated with the chorus and band to present a new and different Spring Concert. The most important number on the program was Ballad for Americans played and sung by the orchestra and chorus with Mr. Connelly as soloist. The baccalaureate and commencement exercises in Iune were set to music by the or- chestra. 'With their new uniforms in stock the orchestra has completed another successful and entertaining school year. FIRST VTlbLlNSfP. Fnnclter. R. Hamt-s. l . Hztlv, It. Ttzmulnll, M. Grey S. Dohse. N.

Cecilia Thomas and Dean Houghtby, Frankie and Iohnny, respec- tively, acted the plot in pantomime. This same program was presented to the Kiwanis one Tuesday noon. A Spring Concertesomething newlfrwas sponsored by the Kiwanis Club, and consis- ted of music from the chorus, band, and orchestra. After many months work on Ballad for Americans , the chorus, with Mr. Connelly as tenor soloist, sang this famous song, accom- panied by the orchestra. Another important achievement of this year's chorus was the obtaining of robes for future high school choruses. With the financial help from many other groups, the students were able to swing it and buy the long-awaited garments. Important progress has been made this year in the advancement of the chorus as an active musical..organization, and the members deserve a lot of credit. page Fifty-eight omior Cymrzfw Fifty four students from the eighth and ninth grades meet once a day in the lunior High music room under the direction of Miss Helen Garlington. This group composed the Iunior High Chorus, an experimental organization. This class deals with the changing voices of its members and proves that early ado- lescents can sing well without ruining their voices. These boys and girls will also provide feeder for the Senior High Chorus. Making their first appearance with the Senior Chorus on December 22, at the tradition- al Chrisimas Concert, the Iunior singers co-operated in singing America, a tone poem by Ernest Williams. Their solo debut came at the annual Pythian Sisters Convention in the spring at which time they were very Well received. The program was as follows: Brahms Evening Hymnf' Summertime, solo by Peggy Spiethp ln the Still of the Night g Ia Dany and Aloha Oe . This group will also have use of the robes obtained for the choruses this spring, having helped in the financial end of the deal! We are looking forward to the continuation of this plan of training adolescent singers. We hope to see them more often at our own school functlons. FUVRTH RUXY-R. Hhs-rlin, D. Lftnius, R.

Eagan fe Eight students congregated during first hour to constitute this year's debate class: Doc Howe, Lorabeth Moore, Harold Munn, Sarah Dimmers, Tom Sawyer, Sally Chap- man, Larry Miller, and Bob Caulkins. Under the coaching of Mr. Baad, the debaters fought over the question, Resolved: That a Federal World Government Should Be Estab- lished. Two men teams were the order of the day, as against last year's three men teams. Chosen to defend the affirmative in the firs Twin Valley debate league for the first tourn- and Sarah Dimmers worked together. Representing the negative from our school were Doc Howe and Sally Chapman. These two teams remained the same for the rest ot the semester. Our squad was host to members of the Twin Valley debate league for the first tourn- ament held on November 30th. The other schools participating were Albion, Marshall, and Coldwater. Beginning sucessfully, our teams placed second in the first round ot the tournament by winning two out of its four debates. The affirmative defeated its tradition- al opponents, Albion and competently eliminated Coldwater in their secon dtry. The neg- ative lost both their debates in close competition with Marshall and Coldwater. The judges were members of the Speech Department of Michigan State College. On January l6th, the second tournament was held in the Albion High School. The same four Iuniors represented Hillsdale. On this occasion the negative was victorious over Coldwater but were again defeated by the Marshall affirmative team. Our affirma- tive team was put out of the running by Albion and Marshall. A banquet was held in the cafeteria at Albion when the final debates were over. The final tournament ratings were Marshall, first, with eight victories out of eight, Albion, second, winning four out of eight debatesg Hlllsdale, third, losing five out of eight, and Coldwater, fourth, with one victory out of eight. page sixty C- 0l 8 VLJLCZS This year Hillsdale had an unusually sucessful forensic squad. In an assembly early in April, Sarah Dimmers did brilliantly in dramatic declamation with That They Might Be Saved. Mary Stearns turned out for ora tory and spoke about Education, the Weapon of Democracy. There were two oratorical contestants this year. Dick Luedernann gave The Union Soldier, and Susan Ray's speech was Don't Die On Third. These four stu- dents invaded Coldwater for the district contest. They returned home, a victorious crew. Sarah had talked her Way into first place in dramatic declamation. Mary and Dick followed in second place in oratory and oratorical declarnation respectively. Susan also participated. With top honors, Sarah moved to the regional contest held in Union City on May 6. Receiving the reward of a dictionary which is given to all district Winners, she placed third. Under the competent direction of Miss Mary Alice Smith, Hillsdale High School has had one of the most successful forensic squads in many years. SECOND ROVV-D. liueslemzmn. M. Steurn FIRST RUW-S.

The editors, reporters, and adviser of the Tower Guard have, to the best of their lability, published a paper with colorful, interesting news coverage for its many Iunior High readers. Heading the staff this year was Rowland Dow, who served as managing editor. O- leiha Bevin and Dick Gettings, handling the jobs of feature editor and sports editor respect- tively, did a splendid job in assisting. Dan Wheaton, an eighth grader, held the important post of news editor. Lillian Nordin and Nancy Lamberson held down the Personals and lakes columns, which added spice to the lunior High publication. Betty lane Woodinan inaugurated the Home Room column which was well liked by many of Tower Guard's readers. Dick Smith and lohn Greenley served throughout the year as business managers, and loan Haddix headed the circulation department. Faculty adviser was Mr. l. P. Roach, who besides doing a wonderful job in organizing the paper, led Tower Guards ambitious editors to North Adams on their bikes several times, for the purpose of Putting the paper together . All in all, the Tower Guard can be congratulated on having such a successful year and we wish them the same good fortune nextyear. page sixty-three 'hs The Three Musketeers JOHN Macpn-QHIE, C. J.

Miss Smith again served as faculty adviser. The results of an early fall meeting at editor Doc Howe's home found Lorabeth Moore and Iohn MacRttchi3 as assistant or associate editors. Goodness knows, poor Doc was going to need two in the months to come! News was gathered in by Marjorie Pino with the help of Fred Greenley and features were tossed helter-skelter by Sally Chapman and Charlotte Booth. Cnalee Townsend lcnew all and told all in the popular gossip col- umns and Martha Throne evaluated the choicest bits from outside papers. Sports editors were scarce and temperamental but Don VanArsdalen and Bob Morlock, who took over after Eddie Barber's departure for the army were here, there, and everywhere-happy as ever! Doris Iennings ended the year with Carl Rossetti as her fellow business manager, while Marjorie German replaced Iulia Popiel as circulation manager for the second sem- ester. Spectacular headlines and themes for the next issues became the specialties brewed by these strange people. The second issue was proof of this, as three editors soon found page sixty-six out! Having written and published a challenging editorial to the football team, they were the victims of the loud furor that followed. The following issues were less spectacular but were none-the-less interesting. Many were the Thursday evenings spent tearing the hair together to get some sort of edition ready for the printer on Friday-but the fun ot seeing it get through on time was Worth the struggle and the sleepless nights! The staff has worked hard in bringing the annual in on time, too. As have staffs in the past, We wanted to make this THE annual. We hope we have succeeded and that you like it.

I enior pfag The final dramatic accomplishment of the class of '43 was presented on December 4th, l942, when Remember the Day a romantic comedy, was enacted. Twenty five hand picked seniors played before a house filled to capacity. The early l9OU's was the time of this play and the trials and tribulations of Dewy Roberts was the plot. Don Holmes made his debut to the appreciative Hillsdale audience in the lead, While very able support was offered by Richard Curly Ennis and lean Gelenius, more experienced actors, The school- room scene was very authentic because an unused schoolhouse was vacated to furnish the properties includinq a row of those Well remembered country schoolhouse desks. Mr. losh Roach, head of the dramatic department, directed the production, assisted by Carl Rossetti as student director and other student committees. The unusally large cast was as follows:-First Bell Boy, Don Van Arsdaleng Second Bell Boy, Bill Ford, Nora Trinell, lean Geleniusy Flower Girl, Bernadette McDonough, Reporter, lack DeWaldg Dewy Roberts, Don Holmesg Kate Hill, Marilyn lanes, Tom, Bob Morlockg Steve, Bob Scholl: Ellen Talbot, Valerie Levy: Miss Price, Carol lean Storerg Dan Hopkins, Richard Ennisg Mr. Steele, Eddie Barberg Edith Phelps, lulia Hooverg Mrs. Roberts, Phyllis Smithg Charlie, Gene Haley Dorothy, Ruth Randall: Edqar, Carl Rossettip Mildred, Thelma England: lane, loyce Savaqeg Mr. Roberts, Lloyd WoiA'thinqtcnq Mr. Phelps, Cleo Vtfinchelly Miss Kline, Iris Traxlerp Anna, Gertrude Eosterg D.

All three acts took place in the Pringle living room, and this play showed the coming cnd going ot an average American Family. The play revolved about Penny and her de- sire to go to Hollywood. Many entangling and queer situations arose from this desired ca- reer. One particular incident to be remetnbe red was Paul Borton, disguised as Gloria Lovel, attempting to discourage Penny. A record time was taken for the audience to quiet down after his identity was discovered. The tempo was kept moving and thus carried the audience away with simple, laughable, sincere situations.

F. time jfe5 man pfay March l9, 1943-8 dclockfthe curtain rises and history is being made in H.H.S., for the Freshman Class is presenting its first play. This play, a mystery farce, entitled Mur- der In Rehearsal by Austin Goetz, was well cast, well acted, well directed, Well in fact it was super in all ways. It was unique in that it was two plays in one, and an interesting thing about it was that no one, even the cast seemed to know how it was going to come out until the very end. The play centered around a murder and the finding of the mur- derer. lt all ended, much to everyones surprise, by discovering that no one Was really killed but rather that the whole cast was rehearsing for a play the next night4thus cleverly solving what seemed insolvable. With splendid direction from Miss Garlington and technical advice from Mr. Iosh Roach the play was a huge success. Hal Co zzens acted as student director and the rest of the cast was as follows:-f lack Ellery, Royal Hames: Claudia Warren, Katherine Sherman: Mrs, Fiske, Marilyn Rooseg Mroton Hill, David Laniusg Harold Knight, Richard Gettingsp Chubby Forbes, Iames Coppelerg Trilby, Susan Ray: Sheriff Cullen, lack Garrett: Sheila Burnett, Ioanne Robison: Daffy Carmichael, Wayne Senerg Marge Penny, Marlynn Mur- ray, Bunkey Simms, Frances Carey: Stock Hilton, Robert Herman. Praises to a fine play and may this Freshman Class Play idea live for many years. page seventy-two 3,9 0l'1'L0l 8 POWL March 26, l943 found many H.H.S. students and faculty members dancing in the gym- nasium at the 26th annual Sophomore Prom. The traditional banquet was dispensed with again this year, but the usual Class stunts and speeches were given in the auditorium pre- ceding the dance. The class of '45 Chose the garden for its prom theme this year and carried it out both in speeches and decorations. As in the past each class and the faculty had a speaker and a stunt, Morris Finisy spoke for Freshmen on The Seed , Tom Sawyer represent- ed the Sophomores with The Root , Bob Caulkins talked on The Stem, for the Iuniors, and Don Holmes, senior, spoke on The Fruit . Miss Hackett speaking for the faculty gave a very clever original poem on The Gardenersf' After each speaker the class presented CI stunt. The prize was captured by the Iuniors who cleverly depicted a scene from Hitleris office. Another notable skit was the faculty, who hilariously showed the audience many hidden talents no one knew the teachers possesed. After the auditorium program the guests adjourned to the gymnasium that was corn- pletely transformed into a garden by clever decorations. Multicolored streamers served as a screen on the edge of the floor for tired dancers to rest behind. Tables and refresh- ments were near by for ones enjoyment. The Rhythm Masters furnished music for the dancers. Laurels to the Sophomore class and to Sally Douglas, general chairman, for such a fine all school formal. page seventy-three Dancin' to the tunes of The Masters Formal Extavaganza Mmm i ,X r..k7 A 1 , Q? 5 I - ..

This dance, one of the leading social event of the school year, was unusually well attended by both Girl Reserve and Hi-Y members. It is the only closed dance of the year. Entering through a heart shaped door the couples found a room so decorated with hearts and such that they felt sure that they had found Cupid's Dream- land. The theme, that of St. Valentine's Day, was carried out to the extent of having the punch served through a big red heart in the far end of the room which was tom open during intermission. Dances were kept by the use of dance programs with red hearts on them and the band played before a panel of red and white frills and miniature hearts. The Rhythm Masters made their first appearance at this formel and they were extremely well received. The high-light cf the evening was the grand march led by Curly Ennis and Lorabefh Moore, club presidents. Katherine Rogers and Dick Scovill were the co-general chairman of the dance and with the aid of effecient committees an A-l party was put on. Miss Smith, Mrs. Ford., Mr. Samenen, Mr. and Mrs. Katzenrneyer, Miss Hackett, and Miss Erickson were on hand to chaperon. Many confirm the fact that it was a formal to be remembered. omior - enior Qcelalfion As we go to press the Ir.-Sr. Reception is the next big event to come up, but a little sneak-preview was given us by Bob Caulki ns, general chairman. This is the most antic- ipated and elaborate affair of the year and annually each class attempts to outdo the previous class as far as decorations go. With much secrecy the theme is guarded and for days before the eventful night the gym is closed, locked and guarded better than a bank. This Reception sounds exciting and diffferent with the gym being transformed into a Spanish patio and a real honest tc: goodness fountain in the center. The orchestra will be Charlie Fletcher's band from lackson. The Spanish atmosphere will be carried out with lighting effects, costumes for the band-members, programs, and refreshments. All in all it will be an exciting evening when the Iuniors honor the Seniors. page seventy-Five l 5 E 1 l Y' Ye Olde Assembly Hall Must have been a good iolcel page seventy-six SECOND RUXV-Bob Scholl, Ulywle Davis, Curl Rossi-tti, LeVernv Giuuque.

And, now, my little jive morons, we have a swing band of our own! Such lovely music as those Rythm Masters give forth-loud or soft, smooth or hot, they have it right in stock! ln the middle of November Chuck Gregory organized the band and gave it financial backing with help from Mr. Lint of the music department. The fellows rehearsed faithful- ly in the bandroom until mid-Ianuary. At that time they made their first appearance in the lunior High music room to play for an audition for the G. R.-Hi-Y formal. They were accepted and on February 5, they played-but solid! I Their next important appearance turned out to be in the Variety Show on March l9. The band provided background music throughout the greater part of the show. Cne week later the boys came in on the down beat for the Sophomore Prom. ln between times the Parish Hall was the place to find the Rhythm Masters of a Saturday. Other towns have heard of our swing band. Consequently, North Adams, Hudson, and Addison have been left with musical memories of the Masters! . Backstage, difficulties were particularly acute in North Adams where the trombone section was hit hard! The first casualty happened to be a sick trombone player and to top things off the other player's horn came apart . . .! !That's life, though! In the beginning, as stated above, Chuck Gregory was the financial backer and lead- er, but after February 5, the outfit turned consolidated and elected Carl Rossetti as their di- rector, Chuck for business manager, and Clyde Davis to be librarian, that is, to dash a- round and collect the music and keep it on hand! This spring, however, Chuck resigned his post and Clyde moved in as his successor. Bob Scholl fell heir to the headaches of the librarian. We're all proud of this new and up-to-the-minute musical organization.

The Hillsdale High School Football 'team of 42 opened its grid season September l8th at Morenci, and was beaten by the score of l3 to 6. The loss of this first game set off a jinx among the team members and they were plagued with fumbles and intercepted pas- ses for practically all the rest of the season. This helped greatly in bringing about the toss of six of their eight games. A September 25th the Hornets traveled to Blissfield, where they were beaten by a score of 7 to 2. The Hornet's third defeat came a week later when they hit their traditional rival, Cold- water, and were defeated by the disheartening score of 25 to nothing. After this last set back the Hornets began to get desperate, so when they clashed with Hudson, October 9th they proved they still had plenty of what it takes by whipping titem 19 to 7. The next game was with Montpelier on Cctober l6, which turned to be highly unsuc- cessful for the Hornets, when they were beaten 25 to 6. The following week Michigan Center also cashed in on the Hornei's losing streak by a 20 to l2 victory. The next game was an exciting tilt with St. lohn's Military Academy. Hill:dale came out victorious in this game with a 25 to 7 score. The last game of the year was with Vicksburg. This tilt was another loss for the Hor- nets, when a score of 20 to 7 in favor of Vicksburg was turned in. page eighty 62-59-2l Hike! page eighty-one Hit 'em hard! ,Q YB ' -5 2 f.

The next week the Hornets were forced to chalk up another loss when Sturgis defeat- ed them 45 to 28, February 5th, clue to some brilliant shooting by Dean Foulke, the Hornets bagged Albion by the score of 39 to 28. On February 9th the Hornets forced the Adrian five to bow for the second time in the season when they defeated them 47 to 21. On the following week the Hornets played lonesville a second time, and much tc the surprise of all, were thoroughly trounced by the score of 33 to 25.

ZZWM Again this year the Hillsdale Hornets plzrced a strong nine in baseball competition. Led by Don Gemmill's and lack Keehn's pitching, the Hornets have had some thrilling games. With the bulk of the conference games yet to be played at this writing, prospectw are still good for a sucessful season in conference competition. The baseball team of 43 opened its season April 16th at Albion and were badly defeated by a score of 10 to l. Many of these runs were caused by errors on the part of the Hornets. On April 23rd the Hornets, after a rather one sided game, defeated the Coldwater Card- inals 7 to l. The next opposing team was Ionesville, Who fell to the Hornets 4 to 2 after being rained out in the fifth inning. The next game the Hornets played, was with Marshall, in which the Redskins thorough- ly trounced the Hillsdale nine by an 8 to 3 score. This game was played on the Hills- dale College diamond. The following game our boys played Coldwater for the second time, and, much to the surprise of all, were beaten by the Cardinals 9 to 5. ln this game Don Gemmill led the Hornet attack with four hits in four official times at the plate. A little later in the season the Sturgis Trojans invaded the Hornet home grounds and gave Hillsdale the Worst shellaclcing it had up to this time . The Trojans, going hog wild, drove out a 12 to 0 defeat to the amazed Hornets. page eighty-four lvl : pAg:5iCOL cjlifnwd At the beginning of the second semester, Mr. Davis announced the addition of a new course to our curriculum, physical fitness. This includes three days of gym work and two days of First Aid for the boys and two days each of gym and First Aid and a series of Everyday Living for the girls. Each student in H.H.S., with the exception of certain music students, is required to participate in this nation-wide program. Miss Murray and Mr. Wolfe, physical education directors and both graduates of Hills- dale College, have had charge of this program with Mrs. Wilbur Grommon and Mrs. W'm. Lint, volunteer First Aid teachers, each supplementing two days a week. An exhibition of the work of these classes was held on May 24th. Many things includ- ing DYramid building, relays, sunts, boxing and rope climbing were done by both boys and girls Showing their contribution to the war effort by keeping physically fit. This program has been well received by all concerned, and with the exception of a few accidents has progressed without mishap. With Mr. Davis, Miss Murray and Mr. Wolfe attended a demonstration of physical fitness in Ann Arbor and came back with many practical and interesting ideas. Although this is a war program devised to make better army material and prepare students for any unexpected accidents, still many feel the bene- fits received will warrant the carrying on of Physical Fitness in H.H.S.
