Text from Pages 1 - 44 of the 1938 volume:

The T roja n PUBLISHED BY the JOURNALISM CLUB of H0M2R HIGH SCHOOL To Mr. Clinton F. Whetstone, Superintendent, advisor, and friend, this, the second volume of The Trojan, is gratefully dedicated. 1938 Just as it takes A heap o livin in a house to make a home , it also takes a heap o orkln' a building to make It a school. So our building, through its long period of service to the Community has become a school whose memories and associations have become integrally entwined in the personality of the many men and women who have come within its ever widening, sphere of influence . Charles Alexander.or Charley as he is usually called, has come to be as closely associated with Homer High School as the seats, the desks, and the very stones of the building itself. It would indeed be difficult to imagine what our school would be without his efficient care and infectious booming laugh echoing through the hallways faculty G.

The members of the council are representatives from the three upper classes and each home room. There is a total of 16 members. The officers of the council are elected by the members of the organization at the beginning of the school year. The President is then elected by petition circulated throughout the student body. The officers for the first semester were as follows: President-----------Ralph Smith, Jr. Vice-President-----Marion Smith Secretary—-— ———Olen Face Treasurer-------——Wm. Barnes The officers for the second semester were: President----------Warren Vincent Vice-President-----Marion Smith Secretary-—-—-—--Olen Face Treasurer----------Roscoe Baker Because the term of office had expired for Wm. Barnes at the close of the first semester, his office was filled by Roscoe Baker. Warren Vincent was elected President at the beginning of the second semester and his term of office will expire at the end of a year. The council has undertaken many responsibilities in the past year. Each of the All- School parties was under direction of the student council. The council arranged the assembly programs, established a Lost and Found Bureau, and also selected a committee to take charge of the bulletin boards. The most Important undertaking of the council was that of setting up a system of honor points for all activities of the school, besides 'iving points for the various classes. The points will be iven to all participants in the various activities and will be used in determining the honor stucents for the year. This system has not reached perfec- tion but as the student council continues in the years to come, a system of honor points for students activities will reach its highest standard. The Student Council of Homer High will continue to meet the needs of a student government by abiding by the written constitution and with the supervision of Superintendent C. F. Whetstone. 5 Back Row: Eugene Whitcomb. Lawrence Eoyd, Jack Houghton, Munro Tasker, Olen Face, Ralph Brand, Charles Bailey.

JOURNALISM CLUB During the school year of 1937-53, the Journalism Club published ten Issues of the Homer High Headlight, containing class news, home room news, club news, social notes, departmental news, sports write-ups, poems, calendar, features of various kinds, and ads. They also published a twelve-page rep book of school songs and yells both old and new. Aside from the work of publishing the Headlight, the biggest piece of work undertaken by the group was the publishing of the second annual, The Trojan for 1938.

A short time later the class met and chose Robert Dishaw president and Mr. Harry Running class advisor. We also selected our class colors, green and white, and our banner. A few weeks after school started the Sophomores challenged the Freshmen to a tug-of-war at the lower mill. Encouraged by the yells of the girls and the dreadfully cold water, they succeeded in dousing the Sophomores twice. That evening our friendly enemies repaid us at the reception by making us bow down to them and taking the Freshman oath. Later on they served us homemade ice-cream and cake. We had one party during the first semester in Room H. It was an over-crowded party with sixty-five present. Our second party was held in the Community House the last semester, our class being the first to hold a party in the new building. In our Sophomore year we chose Eva Rising as our President and Ml88 Towne as our new class advisor. The third week of school we challenged the Freshmen to a tug-of-war. Our boys weren't so fortunate this year, as they were pulled through once, but we didn't feel so badly after seeing the Freshmen on initiation day. That same evening we gave them a reception at the Community House. One cold, snowy day about two-thirds of our class, accompanied by Miss Towne, ventured out to Brown's hill to enjoy the sliding. A few minor casualties resulted, but did not dampen our enthusiasm. In the spring we drove over to Swain's Lake for a swim and a picnic supper. The water was rather chilly but a few were brave enough to venture In. It was a fine party, even if a little wet, and we will never forget or regret it. By the time we came back to school in 1936 we began to feel very important because we were now in our Junior year. Miss Towne remained our class advisor this year and we chose Merrill Amsler, president. One evening after a basketball game we gathered in the Kindergarten Room for a social party. Dancing and games provided the entertainment. Refreshments of homemade ice-cream and wafers were served later in the evening. Shortly after the holidays, we chose our Junior Play, The Big Front . Miss Towne was the director. The next important event was the Senior Prom, on April 16, to which we were all invited. In May we gave the Seniors a reception at the Community House. The ceiling was decorated In class colors with fernery and colored lamps surrounding the room A floor show was given and the rest of the evening was spent in dancing. The big moment for which we had been waiting had arrived at last. We were SENIORS!I We again elected Merrill Amsler president, and Mr. Whetstone became our class advisor. One snowy day we decided to have a sliding party at Brown's Hill. After the party we went to Shirley Foley's home for hot cocoa and sandwiches. Mr. and Mrs. Whetstone chaperoned us. Before the holidays, rehearsals had begun on our Senior Play, Shirtsleeves . It was presented February 2 and 3 at the Coznnunity House, to a large and enthusiastic audience. Plans are all completed for the Senior Prom which will be held May 13. We are eagerly looking forward to the Junior-Senior Reception, Skip Day and Commencement. We are to wear caps and gowns at our connnencement activities. Some of the day« spent in dear old Homer High were not so happy, but we all deeply regret leaving It. Of the sixty members who started together four short years ago, there are only thirty-nine left to go forth and carry out our motto, We finish, to beg in• 12 Back Row: Robert Cock, Max King, Norman Payne, Fred Heaton, Warren Putnam, Olen Face, Katherine Thompson, Advisor Norman Cobb, Ronald Buskirk.

Absent: Earl Thompson JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY In September, 1935, our High School career started with 45 people. We elected Ruth Penoyar--President, Fred Heaton--Vice President, Warren Vincent--Secretary, Warren Putnam--Treasurer. In our Freshman year, the main events were the Tug of War , in which we were defeated, and the Reception which was given to us by the Sophomores. We selected Crimson and Cream as our class colors and bought the class banner. In April, the Freshmen enjoyed a Pot-Luck party at the School House. As Sophomores we had 35 members. Our class officers were: President—Warren Vincent, Vice President—Elizabeth Parker, Secretary—Olen Face, Treasurer—Ronald Buskirk. We challenged the Freshmen to a Tug of War , and although they won over us we remained in good spirit and gave them a Reception. We had one class party which was held at the school house. Class officers for the Junior year were elected as follows: President--Olen Face, Vice President-Warren Vincent, Secretary— Elizabeth Parker, Treasurer—Robert Warner. This year our number has dwindled to 29 members. In December, at the School House we held our one and only class party of the year. In the same aforementioned month the majority of the class bought class rings. The first all-school party, which was also held in December, we as a class, had charge of. In March we presented the play The Poor Rich, which was a big success. The leads were played by Eva Sweet and Ronald Buskirk, who were ably supported by Olen Face, Mary Benham, Juanita Mills, Shirley Smith, Fred Heaton, Warren Vincent, Warren Putnam, and Virginia Cunningham. The next important event of the year was the Senior Prcan, to which many of the Juniors were invited and greatly enjoyed. The high light of the season was the reception which we presented to the Seniors, the third day of June. Fine decorations, a good program and dancing with the delightful accompaniment of Morris Styles Orchestra were to be had at this gala occasion. After this affair we participated in the graduation exercises and are anxiously awaiting our Senior year. 15 Back row: Charles Rising, Duane Anderson, Lawrence Boyd, Marvin Wade, Stanley Osborn, Eugene Whitcomb, Robert Dawson, Perry Phillips, Robert McAdam, George Booth.

Absent:Janet Howe, Frank Mench SOPHOMORE CLASS It was on the morning of September 8, 1936 that a proud, (though maybe green) group of Freshmen appeared at Homer High School. At an early date these new-comers received a challenge for a tug-of-war from the Sophomore Class. The Freshmen gladly accepted the challenge and when the crucial night arrived succeeded in pulling the dignified Sophomores through the river for the second time and were thus declared the victors. And were they proud 11 Later they were initiated by the Sophomores and felt that at last they were an important part of the High School. After many days, the Freshmen of 1936 were given a reception by said Sophomore Class. This proved to be worth Waiting for, in spite of the lact that the Sophomores put them all through their paces during the evening. On December 9, 1936 the Freshmen and Juniors Jointly sponsored an All-School Party at the Community House. Later in the spring of 1937, the Freshmen had a class party at the High School. Games and refreshments were enjoyed during the evening and the opinion was quite generally expressed that their first class party was very much of a success• Other things accomplished during the first year were: An active part in the school Carnival at which they had a shooting gallery and a weight guessing contest, and a page in the Trojan of which they were Justly proud. And thus ended the first chapter. In the fall of 1937, the class of 1940, no longer Freshmen, Immediately began planning what awful things they could do to the new Freshmen. Among these awful things was a Tug-of-War resulting in a good bath for each Freshmen lad, a reception and an initiation. For the initiation the Freshmen were turned into very good-looking brides and the girls too, were very attractively dressed for the one whctle day. In addition to their noble efforts to keep the Freshmen from growing up too fast, the Sophomores again helped to publish the Annual and this year were given the entire responsibility of one All-School Party on the night of January 19. This was an especially enjoyable affair since it came in the middle of semester test week. 14 And thus endeth the second chapter L A Back row: Elwood Brand, Richard Bender, Stanley Carrick, Carl Mench, Ivan Fast, Clayton Robison, Robert Anderson, LeRoy Clutter, Maurice Benham.

FRESHV.EN CLASS The Freshmen elected the following officers at their first class meeting Sept. 22: President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Class Advisor Clayton Robison Renny Cutcher Nancy Cunningham Dorothy Smith Miss Helen Wells The first great event in the high school life of the Freshmen occurred on October 11, when the Sophomore-Freshmen tug-of-war was held at the lower mill. The Sophomores won the event by a very close margin. October 14, was formal Initiation day at school. The boys were dressed as blushing brides. Each carried a beautiful bouquet of autumn flowers. The girls wore their dresses backwards, painted their initials on their cheeks, wore mens hose and hats and carried their books in pails. October 15, the Sophomores gave the Freshmen a reception at the Community House. Here each Freshmen was required to put on an individual and amusing stunt. Dancing and refreshments were enjoyed after the program. Twenty seven Freshmen enjoyed a roller skating party at Hemlock Beach on March 9. Spills .ere the order of the day but everyone seemed to have a g ood time. The last All-School Party w s sponsored by the Freshmen en. May 6. Decorations were carried out In the class colors, blue and white. Music was furnished by the High School Orchestra for dancing. Clayton Robison was General Chairman for the party and assisting him were: Fanneta Frederick, Carl Mench, Renny Cutcher, and Dorothy Smith. 15 EIGHTH GRADE Back Row: Richard Bartlett, Dean Chapman, 3cb Schaberg, Beryl Blue, Joy Moor, Mildred Lerberg, Harold Salmon, Bob Davie, Roger Huston, Mr. Needham-Class Advisor.

Barring injuries it would have of been even more impressive, We were without the services of our all conference half back, Ralph Brand, for three games, and he was not at his best for two of the other games. Howard Hepler, was also an all conference selection, being picked at right end. Our Seasons Records Homer 6 Homer 19 Homer 32 Homer 13 Homer 6 Homer 7 Homer 7 Homer 6 Homer 25 Total 12l Letter Winners: Capt. Brand, Hepler, Baker, R. Smith, Barnes, Larder, Taylor, Amsler, Yost, R. Cook, B. Cook, Buskirk(Capt.Elect), S. Jarosz, Hakes, J. Jarosz, M. Smith, Linton, E. Bran1., Rising, and Grialey. Eleven of these boys are seniors, and although a great many of them were not regulars their loss is going to be greatly felt next Fall. The passing combination of Hepler to Brand, with which we got away with so much, probably will not be equalled in some years to come. Our football team gave the fams all they could ask for in power plays with Baker hitting the line, passes with Hepler, and Brand1s long spectacular runs. During the season, Capt. Brand ran four punts back for touchdowns. Short dashes by Pee Wee Smith, the giant of the back-field, weight 117 pounds in uniform and Junior Smith1s quarter back sneaks with Buck , R. Cook, and Gridley clearing the way were also power plays. Fuzzy Amsler, with his great defensive line play,was a stand out in the line. The Jarosz brothers gave fine demonstrations of end play. The utility player was Chas. Rising, having been used at End, Half-back, and Guard. The tfiole squad gave a very good demonstration and played good balL Despite the loss of these seniors we expect to have another good team next fall. Albion Res. 0 Quincy 0 Litchfield 0 Athens 6 Reading 7 Bronson 19 Bellevue 12 Union City 0 Tekonsha 0 Total TT 18 BASKETBALL The prospects at the beginning of the season were not very bright our having lost two players, one moving away and the other by ineligibility. This seemed to ruin any chances of a winning team. We started our season by losing our first two games, then they boys hit their stride and started hitting the basket. The highlight of the season was breaking the jinx Reading had held over Homer for twelve years. A great second half rally gave Homer a 20 to 23 victory. The next outstanding game was our return game with Quincy Quincy built up a 17 to 8 lead at the half only to have Homer come from behind and defeat them 26 to 23. Our second team compiled a great record in winning twelve out of 13 games, and as these boys are all under class men, we are expecting them to give a good account of themselves next season.

BASEBALL Baseball practice started the last of March with six lettermen available. Dale Fast, Catcher; Russ Maurer, Pitcher; Howard Hepler, Outfielder; Ralph brand. Shortstop; Clarke Baker, Outfielder; Jim Linton, and Harold Burns, Infielders. With the start of practice, some changes have been made, Hepler was made into a first baseman, and Blondie Brand,because of his speed, has been Riven the center field Job. The squad consists of Hepler, Jarosz, Linton, Nowlin, M. Smith, Maurer, Fast, Baker, R. Smith, Burns, Payne, B. Cook, Putnam(Mgr.), Heaton, B. Nowlin, D. Cook, and Carrick.

The big weakness this year appears to be the lack of hitting. However, we expect to make up somewhat in our defensive ability. With Russ Maurer carrying the most of the pitching burden, and Dale Fast behind the plate, we think we have the best battery in the Conference. This year s infield and outfield is the best defense that we have had in the last few years. Homer has long been noted for her baseball teams and we hope to have another team that will uphold the baseball reputation of our high school. 20 Back row: Norman Payne, Biwood Brand, Bill Barnes, Warren Putnam mgr., Lawrence Boyd, Merrill Amsler.

TRACK Track at Homer High School has gradually been growing for the past four years until we find a squad of eighteen boys working out dally, this spring. Among these boys we find two outstanding track men, Blon-dyn Brand In the high and low hurdles and Erwin Grldley In the mile run. Blondy was In the finals of both events at the State Meet In East Lansing last spring, and we expect him to win both of these events In the State Meet this year. Erwin took second at the regional at Kalamazoo last spring and ran a good race at the State Meet. We are planning on Grid” setting up a few new records In his speciality, the mile run, this season. Other boys we are planning on are Stanley Jarosz In the dashes and relay race; Charles Rising in the high Jump, low hurdles, and broad Jump; Howard Hepler in the 440; Clarke Baker in the half mile, and Fred Heaton In the shot put. This year looks like the year that Homer should break the Jinx, as we have been runner up for the championship every year since the Little C Track and Field Meet has been held. Last year we were nosed out of the Championship by a single point. This year is the year, unless injuries or sickness should hamper us. Track is one of the finest of sports. In that each boy competes against the other boys. In each event it gives an opportunity for individual performance with all working for one purpose, that of scoring enough points for a team victory. It is in this sport that individual responsibility shows up the best. A boy must be at his best to defeat the rest of the competitors in his event or events. The big meets for the season are: May 21 Regional Meet at Kalamazoo May 28 State Meet at Bast Lansing June 3 Little C Conference Meet at Union City 21 22 HOY.Eh HIGH SCHOOL BAUD The High School Band was organized in nineteen hundred thlrtysix, with twenty eight members, under the direction of Mr. Conway Peters, director of the Albion College Band and Orchestra, and Miss Joan Weimer. The Band meets every Tuesday and Thursday, with Mr. Peters coming here every Tuesday. The band has improved in several different ways over last year: not only in the tone and sound, but also in the increase of membership. At the beginning of the year the members were given emblems by the American Legion. These are worn on the left sleeve of their orange sweaters. The uniform consists of white sleeks, orange sweaters, and white, and orange bend caps. The Band has made several appearances, including the football and basketball games, the Parents Instutite and the Annual Concert, which was given on the fourteenth of April. The proceeds of this concert are to be used for more equipment for the band. Since we are losing several members by graduation, the other members are now starting a campaign to bring mere members into the band next year. The membership goad has been set at fifty.

The Orchestra, under the direction of Miss Joan Weimer, has made several public appearances this year. Among them have been appearances at the local Methodist Church, at Clarendon Church in October, for the Monday Club in March, between acts at both performances of the Senior play, at the All-School Christinas Party, and at the Annual Band Conceit in April. Although many of the violinists were only beginners, the type of music played by the Orchestra, has been of the best. The most outstanding event of the year, ius the accompaniment played by the Orchestra, for the High School Operetta, The Mikado . This meant much hard work and many long hours of practice, but was well worth the effort, inasmuch as it added to the performance of the Glee Club, and at the same time gave the Orchestra some fine experience. For this production Miss Helen Wells p.ayed the piano. Of the seventeen members of the Orchestra, seven are Seniors, which leaves ten members as the foundation on which to build the Orchestra next year, it -s hoped that by next year, the string section of the Orchestra will be greatly enlarged .

THE HOMER PLANE AND SQUARE 4-H CLUB For the second consecutive year Homer High School had for one of its selective activities, 4-H Handicraft. At the beginning of 1938, ten boys enrolled in this organization to make up one of the many 4-H clubs in the state. At the organization meeting the following officers were elected: President: Warren Vincent Vice-President: Maurice Benham Secretary and Treasurer: Robert Dawson It was decided to name the club the Homer Plane and Square Club, which has a two-fold meaning. The plane and square are very essential tools in wood-working and the members of the club could be called both plain and square. The year was spent in work on the wood projects, ' hey were completed by March 22, when they were exhibited at the local Achievement Day held at the Community House. On March 31, the same articles were exhibited at the school house in Marshall at the Calhoun County Achievement Day. At this time the winners of the higher awards were selected. Munro Tasker and Maurice Benham both won places on the county honor roll. Munro Tasker,for his contributions to a 4-H project, was awarded a trip to 4-H Club Week, held in East Lansing the first week of July. At this time approximately eight hundred 4-H club members of the state come together to spend a week in fun and learning. The Flane and Square Club of Homer has made many accomplishments under the leadership of Mr. Kruger of the faculty. 29 Back row: George Booth, Robert Edwards, Miss Carmichael, Olen Pace, Varren Putnam.

Front row: Virginia Bender, Janet Howe, end Doris Grimes. During the school year of 1S37-38 the speech department carried on a very active program. Our first tournament was held in December. It was a disappointment, lor we won one but lest the other. From December to the middle of January, more time was spent and more practice debates scheduled, for, to place first it was necessary to win the last two debates. January the 13th, the debate squad returned from Albion with the trophy and the right to enter the State Eliminations. We met Coldwater and were defeated, as Prof. Robinson said, in a very close debate . We look ahead to next year, hoping we can repeat this year's performance.

F-CLIB The F-Club was first organized in 1929 by Faul Davis, the athletic director. It prospered for a few years but gradually, as other coaches 'are, it was dropped. In the school year of 1935-36, it was reorganized under the direction of George Needhar, the present coach and athletic director. Stuart Rule was chosen President and Gerald Shaffer was Secretary and Treasurer. A constitution was drawn up which stated the aims of the H-Club. It provided for the election of officers each year, anA set the rules for the earning of athletic letters. In order to qualify for the H-Club a boy must win an E in one of the four major sports: football, bas- ketball, baseball or track. After a boy has won his letter he is subject to the initiation which is provided for in the constitution. One of the social functions Is the annual stag party for the Initiation of new members. In 1938 the election was held and Fred Heaton was elected President and Erwin Oridley was elected Secretary and Treasurer. The qualifications for which a letter is awarded in football, basketball, baseball, and track are as follows: for football you must play eight quarters, basketball twelve quarters, baseball twelve Innings, and for track you must take one firBt place or make five points. Anyone who quits the squad of other than for injury must sacrifice all honors or av ards he has won in that sport for the year. The purpose of the H-Club is to have cleaner and better sports, to enliven Interests In these sports and, to create a feeling of good will between the competing schools. 33 SHIRT SLEEVES Senior Class Play Back Row: Director—Mr. Whetstone, Auctioneer--Rlchard Cook, Richard Crandall-Charles Bailey, Porter-Robert Larder, Elmer-William Barnes, Porter-Teddy Taylor.
