These members of the Board of Education of the Homer Community School have accomplished much but they also have a lot of nard work ahead. A milestone was reached in the progress of the new school at the time of the Comer Stone ceremony October 27,1947. Mr. Guy Putnam, veteran of more than twenty years service on the School Board, handed the copper document box to the president, Mr. V’.illiam R. Smith, who sealed it in the stone. Not only are its members leading and directing Homer Community Schools, but their plans for laying a sound foundation for the education of the future students of the Homer Community School are taking form as the new school nears completion.

BOLTS AND NUTS The Class of 47 chose for their annual play, Bolts and Nuts, by Jay Tobias. After much hard and faithful work, the Seniors presented their play before a capacity audience on the two consecutive evenings, November 21 and 22. The story took place in the dismal, old mansion which Rebecca Bolt had inherited from her brother. Because Miss Bolt s hobby was psychoanalysis, she turned the old house into a sanitarium. After the patients had arrived, they lost no time in starting to search for the hidden money of Benjamin Bolt, Do you remember the amazing situations this brought about I and Just before the last curtain went down how everything turned out the way we hoped it would?

TZI 1 R n TZI T_T TZ I- T T LI 1 JILL I Here we have a map of the Air Trail and Airports of the earth dated twenty years from now. An opportune find since our class expects of us these wise words of foretelling; let us spread it out here and see if we can find the landing place of everyone of the thirty-one seniors who are soon to take off on this flight out into the world. Here is the air trail that LLOYD KROUL took. Rather erratic, as is Lloyd s pitching , but he made a smooth landing right is the middle of a dairy farm in Wisconsin on which he is still living happily; and here is the trail that Betty SAPFORD made, she crashed right into a beauty shop on Fifth Avenue, gotouthar comb and curlers, and went to work. She now owns not only that beauty shop but a whole string of them from coast to coast--allwith a clientele of our very best people. We see that OPAL SMITH took over the Job of Mr. Rowland who had been the instructor of the Homer High School Band the past twenty years. CHESTER YOST? Where is he? Bud, who was to win fame with the fastest flight around the world-------must be somewhere away off----well, look at this I------Bud never got any farther than across the street, where he gives cut-rate haircuts. He has brushed up on his old gift of conversation. JOHN AND JOAN SMITH?-----Sure enough, made the first twin flight across the Atlantic and when they stepped from their twin planes in Amsterdam, the whole world took them to its fickle heart as its latest hero and heroine. We hear that Doctor ROYCE ADAMS cured a girl who hiccoughed fifty-nine days. He told her one of his favorite mystery stories. Where did MARGARET KING land? here she is I And here is DOROTHY CHAMBERLAIN. They must have taken back the inseparableness from Beulah and Bertha, for here they are gossiping over the back fence------married, of course, to a pair of bro- thers by the name of KENKETO AND VERNON KEMPTON. Oh, here is LOIS GRIDLEY teaching in the University of Michigan. Here are the trails of NORMAN MAUER, PAULINE MILLER, AND LAWRENCE DENSMORE crossing and recrossing. As they say, not words but deeds are to be their watchword after commencement--and so it appears. Norman invented agadget for controlling weather for fliers. Lawrence is president of the Airways Company that uses Norman’s invention, and he is responsible for the great fleets of mammoth passenger planes which go anywhere in the world. Pauline is a stewardess on one of Norman’s airliners and vouches for the workability of the Norman Weathermaker. We hear that umpire BILL AKINS is in the hospital from the effects of pop bottles he met while trying to umpire a big league ball game. JOANNE LEE landed in Washington D. C., to reform the world through all the ambassadors thereof and thereat, but it appears, Jo finally consented to constrain her reforming zeal to but one--the ambassador from Sweden who is big, blond, and VERY personable. Oh well, if the world loses in Joanne an A-l reformer, the white-haired boy from abroad gained a first-class wife. MADELINE HOLBROOK found a body in a morgue identified as MARIAN ESTELLE. Foul play is suspected as the victim carried a large sum of money. It seem after all CLARENCE WILSON couldn’t get away from the collecting mania and landed himself a Job collecting taxes. Where are you, FRANCIS AKINS? Where is good old generous Francis who gave his old watch away before he'd gotten a new one. Here you are-------squinting down at every courthouse you fly over to see tl e time of day, as you fly across the continent. I hear your company considers you their super-modem salesman. CHARLOTTE WESTBROOK AND BEVERLY EASTON are running a hamburger shop in the alum district of Chicago. THE TROJAfl 21 MARIE CLARKE Is still Marie Clarke, teacher in the public schools of Homer, looks as though she 11 remain Miss Clarke to the end of her pensioned days. Sure enough, JERRY WARNER landed in his fatherb bank, but so firmly had his baritone habit grown upon him in school, he soon commenced crooning over WSYR on Mondays--then Mondays and Wednesdays—and then Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays— then----well, until he had to drop the Job at the bank because broadcasting took all his time. It's a hundred percent more profitable too, than cashing checks. DONA BUTLER? Yes, I see she made her landing right in the middle of the darkest heathens. She flies home for week ends. And so you, BOB MICKLE AND RENNIE SWOPE, married damsels to whom you had entrusted your hearts and affections while in high school and are living happily ever after with no budget bothers, since the two of you are picking dollars off tomato bushes, black berry bushes, currant bushes, and grapevines for the largest canning concern in the United States. AUDREY WONDERS realized her ambition and changed her name to Mrs. Frank Sinatra. An international beauty contest for the title of Miss World is being held in Paris this week. I see LYLE TUC-K is one of the Judges. I also see JOYCE MICKLE, who has already won the Miss America contest, is a contestant. It's a foregone conclusion Joyce, you'll get the world title if Lyle can sway the other Judges. Good luck Lyle! And where am I?---Why, this miserable map 111--1 see myself In my old school helmet again. I will not look closer----Fold that thing up and put it away I the: trojan I- T o IZ � _ J ! i zi TiT II 19 We, the member of the SENIOR CLASS OF HOMER HIGH, being of sound mind and more than average mentality, do hereby bequeath and bestow all our worldly goods (Including aU our knowledge gained through serious effort to those who are about to take up the Journey which we have Just completed, the following bequests: ITEM I Bequest to the Faculty To the FACULTY we hereby bequeath the responsibility of teaching t?he class of 48 the ABC s.

H.H.S., that is where we have been for four years and where we have mastered each lesson and learned every rule. Pour years ago there were more than fifty of us. We demonstrated our enormous strength by pulling the Sophomores through the river twice. The Sophomores remembered us with an initiation and reception party. We are quite proud of the record we made that year for the sale of war stamps and bonds. Our Freshmen class lea ders were president, James Court; vice president, Carroll Avery; secretary, Dorothy Chamberlain; and treasurer, Joyce Mickle. Our able class advisors were Miss Hossman and Miss Detrich. As Sophomores we organized with forty-five members. With our superior strength we pulled the Freshies through the river. Our girls bowed to our underclassmen in the softball game. We were pleased to initiate the Freahraen and welcome them with a party. In March we sponsored al all-school party which we called the Green-Eyed Jump. We were led that year by George Bradley, President; Marian Estelle, Vice President; Dick Jones, Secretary; and Beverly Easton, Treasurer. Lyle Tuck and Lloyd Kroul were our Student Council Representatives. The class was sponsored that year by Miss Goodell. As Freshmen and Sophomores we had our good times, but as Juniors our social life broadened out. We found it the custom for the Juniors to compliment the Seniors with a prom. We early in the year planned a series of endeavors to earn money. We sponsored a bake goods sale and a St. Patrick's dance. Concessions at the games and the sale of T-shirts were very prosperous undertakings too. Those dramatically inclined put on a play which added a nice sum to our balance in the bank. Those who participated in The Howling Success were Lois Gridley, Wilda Karns, John Smith, Rennie Swope, Marian Estelle, Norman Maurer, Pauline Miller, Dorine Dack, Beverly Easton, Lyle Tuck and Lloyd Kroul. Our decorations for the Junior Prom carried out the theme, Wish You Well. A wishing well centered the gym, and other good luck effects completed the decorations. Souvenirs were miniature horseshoes. The leaders for our Junior jear were president, Joyce Mickle; vice president, Lyle Tuck; secretary, Rennie rcpe and treasurer, Joan Smith. Our Student Council Representative were Marian Estelle and John Smith. Miss Evans was our class advisor. Now to note the activities of the Senior year—the most important year in our school history. The Senior play, Bolts and Nuts, was the first major event. Its stars were Beverly Easton, Marian Estelle, Rennie Swope, Jerry Warner, Betty Safford, Charlotte Westbrook, Kenneth Kempton, Chester Yost, Bill Akins, lyle Tuck, Joyce Mickle, John Smith and Opal Smith. At Christmas we entertained with a dance. Kie gym was gaily decorated with seasonal effects. There was appropriate music and a sketch based on The Old Lamplighter. Lois Gridley was selected by the class and the faculty as the worthy recipient of the D. A. R. award. In January, Rennie Swope and Lyle Tuck were chosen to take the Pepsi-Cola Scholarship Test. Class honors were announced on March 20; the highest ranking students were Rennie Swope, Vernon Kempton,Kenneth Kempton Lois Gridley, and Lyle Tuck. Throughout the year our thoughts were filled with such weighty problems as class flowers, mottoes, pictures, caps and gowns, parties, invitations and other commencement particulars. These activities were led by our class officers: President, Rennie Swope; Vice President, Bob Mickle; Secretary, Charlotte Westbrook; and Treasurer, Chester Yost. Miss Evans was again our able advisor. Early in May, the Junior class honored us with their prom. Our Senior trip was planned for May 14 to 17. We enjoyed a boat ride from Holland to Chicago, Baccalaureate services were held at the Methodist Church on May 18, with Rev. Lowry as the speaker and Dr. Prentice officiating. May 20 was the date set for Class Night. Rennie Swope gave the Valedictory and Vernon Kempton the Salutatory at Commencement on May 22. The Commencement address was given by Dr. Roberts of Hillsdale• We’ve Jumped the last hurdle, and made the last grade. We, the graduating class of 1947, have at last attained our first major goal. 22 THE TROJAN T i 1 T TT T I-1 T n T I T T z� i i j u i i i i u n i Fellow Class Mates, Parents, Teachers, and Friends: First I wish to express for the class of '46 our appreciation for the interest you have shown by coming to this class night program. As our parents and friends you have watched us for several years while we have _ _ . . 19 4 6 grown up through elementary school. Junior high school, and now we are finally at this last part of our senior year. You of course know that this is a happy event for us. W© are happy and proud to have achieved this goal, and are glad to have you here with us as we celebrate the accomplishment. Whatever success we enjoy, it has been partly because of your efforts and your help. We wish to express our sincere appreciation for the opportunity that has been ours. As you listen to this program being presented by the members of the class, you wffl. see that we have had a lot of fun during our Journey through high school. But we hope you will be convinced of the fact also that we have not missed the purpose of school. a We know that this graduation does not mark the end of our education. Some will not go further in formal classes, and some may-but each of us will probably face much more real education in the future than ire have experienced so far. This next part of our education may be learning to do some definite Job____it may mean learning a new trade, or becoming more skilled in a trade or business in life; but for each there is much ahead we are sura Whatever our place in life, our public school training will improve our opportunity. Again, for the class, I wish to express appreciation for our opportunities. We hope you enjoy the program we have prepared for your entertainment May I at this time extend a hearty welcome to this class night event. lu„JLLL'Ai,, 2£l • • l“� T U 1 1 n TZ« TT li n i T f J___ i_____I 1 I. BUILDINC THE PEACE Parents, friends, and fellow classmates, it is a pleasure to be privileged to try to put into words for the class of 46 the aim, purpose, and ideals that we feel in our hearts. As you know, our motto is: Before us lies the timber, let us build. We are here tonight to dedicate ourselves to this purpose. The purpose of helping b.jild out erf the chaos of the war Just won, a lasting peace. The war is won it is true, but the peace is yet to be own. It is quite a different thing to win the peace than it is to win 1946 the war. V.ar is destructive. Peace is constructive. Our parents, our friends, our brothers, and our sisters have prepared the way for us. Our grandparents and great-grandparents have planted the seeds of freedom and Justice, and the brotherhood of man in the heart of our country. There it has grown. It has passed through years of hardships and years of prosperity. It has weathered the storms of life. These blessings we have inherited, and to them we must add. We must take the opportunities presented to us and help make a peace that shall be unbroken by war between nations. Some of our parents, friends, brothers and sisters have fiven their lives to end this war. Each of us has done his part whether on the attle front or on the home front, giving blood or gathering paper, tin, or scrap iron. Each of us must do his part as we did in war, by making sure there is freedom for everyone, by obtaining it for those brought before the courts, and last but not least, and the one that I consider the most important, the living together of all men in a brotherhood of love, of tolerance, and of fellowship. It may not be accomplished in our time. The task will be passed on to those of you who will graduate next year, and in many years to come. Let us dedicate ourselves this day to help make a peace that shall not tolerate war. Some of the timbers have been cut and hewn, but still others have not. We must set to work to seek the best of these remaining timbers and cut and hewn them into logs which will help to make the foundation and structure for peace. We entered school as small children to learn to read and write and do our arithmetic problems. We emerge from school with much more than that. We emerge with the knowledge that v.e have accumulated during our twelve years of school. Most important of these is that we have learned to think for ourselves, to reason things out, to search for the truth. W'e thank the men and women that have made it possible for us to attend school. We may be considered as young timber. Our parents, our friends, and our teachers have sheltered and helped us; and protected us; have started us growing in the right direction. It is now time for us to be self dependent. We are no longer sheltered as we were. We stand as a group of young people on the threshold of life. It is in our hands to build our lives and our characters so that they may stand as straight and tall as the giant redwoods, that our lives may be worth while. We are now about to graduate from high school. We have been approved by our parents and our teachers as having the knowledge to go out into the world and begin to take our places among the men and women who strive to make this a lasting peace. Appropriately the night on which we graduate is called Commencement, because we are beginning our lives. We look back and recall the good times we had. We look ahead and see work, hardships, and problems. But we look forward also to pleasure in successes and accomplishments. W’e look forward to our e-merging as men and women. We are resolved to do all we can to the best of our ability to help make this a better place in whichi to live, a better place in THE TBft.IflN 11 which to bring up our children. We are not all going to take the same vocation. Some of us will go to college to continue our scholastic careers. Some will serve in the armed forces. Some will ply the trade of their fathers and mothers. While others may reach out into the unknown and untried fields of science and research. But whatever we do after we take our places in the world as men and women here will be one aim uppermost in our hearts and minds. To achieve what those before us have started. Plans for the foundation of world peace have already been drawn and the digging started. We shall do our best to make sure that our share of the world progresses. If only the foundation is completed in our time we will have helped to accomplish something. We, the outgoing Senior Class of 194 pledge ourselves and our efforts to take up the tools laid down by those who have gone before us, and help build from the timber to the best of our ability, a better world and a lasting peace. In closing I would like to quote the words of R. L. Sharpe: Isnft it strange That princes and kings. And clowns that caper In sawdust rings. And common people Like you and me, Are builders of Eternity? Each is given a bag of tools, A shapeless mass, A book of rules. And each must make-Ere life is flown, A stumbling block Or a stepping stone. T_T ill T T U I I ill T ill _I i ri 1—1 u n 11 i Homer High School is proud of its recent capable graduates, the Alumni of 1946. A check on their activities has revealed this information. Bruce Hicks, Roger Poole, and William (Bill) Snyder head the list. They are serving in the Armed Forces. We think Albion College should feel honored with our two highest scholars of last year, Betty Jean Lynn and Lawrence Wade. Bob Jones College, Cleveland, Tennessee is honored withDarell Koons, and Argubright's Business College with Harriet Howe. Five members have chosen to walk down the aisle. Mabel Tobey has become Mrs. Duane Butler; Priscilla Roseman is Mrs. Emerson Hildebrant; and Helen Smith is now Mrs. James Avery. Jeane Folk has become the bride of Harry Cutcher Jr., also of the class of '46. The Alumni of 46 is quite well represented in neighboring communities.
