Jhe Statt Pne entu------ 1 S 5 Homen Hiqh School Homen, YYlichiqan FROM 1890 TO 1957 i. . tHji'ii N The Old High School, which was a land mark in Homer sixty years ago, remains as only a memory to all of us. Memories include the building, events, experiences, class pictures, copies of Trojans, and many other things that have significance far outside the realm of commercial prices. All these tokens of human interest were symbolized in what made up the old building. Volumes could be written on the history of the school since it was dedicated in 1890 and the final days of service rendered by the building in 1943. For three years the students of Homer High attended school in the Homer Library, Community House, Presbyterian and Methodist Churches, and the Webster building. In 1946 they started construction on a new building. It was a long and tedious process but they came up with a beautiful building. In March of 1947 they finally finished the first floor. The second was finished soon after and they started school that year in the new building. Since 1947 more construction has taken place on and around the school grounds. In the summer of 1951 a new gymnasium and four class rooms were added because of an addition of students attending school. We got along fine until 1956-57. The school house was so crowded we didn't know what to do. Finally in the fall of 1957 a new bandroom was completed and enjoyed by all. In the summer of the same year fourteen classrooms, a cafeteria and gymnasium were built to hold the six lower grades. This building was constructed directly in back of the original structure. ,3 , - w � jit .. • IS S'' k . . . ■Laytt'.g cornerstone The gymnasium built in 1951 Superintendent'n WleMaqe The foreword in the Trojan yearbook of 1943 contains these two sentences of prophetic importance. We dedicate this seventh edition of the Trojan to the Homer High School of the Future. We, with our poor .vision and our limited knowledge can in no way fulfil I what the future holds for our beloved school, but we have the faith to believe that from the ashes of the old building, a new and lovely structure will eventually arise, and that from the school of today will evolve a newer and better school of tomorrow. Now in 1957 we can say that the faith in the future exhibited by the 1943 Trojan staff was well founded in the confidence they had in their parents to provide good education for the children of Homer. The new high school they dreamed of has become a reality along with a new elementary school to go into operatior this fall. The foresight of the people of this district in building facilities for the education of their children so they in turn could build for a future is commendable. Homer High School since the days of the 1943 statement has raised its standards and qualified for North Central Association accreditation. Building an adequate educational program has involved not just the physical facilities but the upgrading of the teaching staff and establishing a curriculum varied enough to meet the needs of the pupils. Now in 1957 we again face difficult decisions concerning our schools. We have built facilities with brick and mortar, we have organized and established a curriculum recognized, now we must determine our willingness to provide adequate financial support to carry out the program of operation in such a way that the building of future citizens has the best chance of succeeding.

Our officers for our freshman year were Martha Steeby, president; Mildred Hartman, vice-president; Mike Bradley, secretary; and Joyce Michael, treasurer. That year, we were very ably represented on the Student Council by Nancy Blair and Laura Kirts. Our sponsors were Mrs. Miller and Mr. Erbisch. Shortly after the year began, there came an event that all of the sophomores had been anxiously awaiting. That event was the annual freshman initiation. We came to the evening initiation festivities in high style, wearing all of our clothes insideout and backwards. But it was all in good fun, and we survived without a scratch. September of 1954 saw us again returning to the halls of Homer High. We were then mighty sophomores. For that year, we picked the following as class officers: Joyce Michael, president; Helen Chamberlain, vice-president; Alma Til Ison, secretary; and Mildred Hartman, treasurer. Our representatives to the Student Council were Nancy Blair and Colleen Moor. As our sponsors, we chose Mr. Erbisch and Mr. Gustafson. This time when initiation rolled around, we were on the giving end and found it quite enjoyable. We gave the freshmen a very thorough going over. In April of that year we sponsored our first all school dance. The Spring Roundup. As our junior year began, we realized that we were already beginning our second half of high school. Our officers for the junior year were Mike Bradley, president; Blair Bascom, vice-president; Alma Til Ison, secretary; and Robert Chamberlain, treasurer. Mildred Hartman and Ervin Wood represented us on the Student Council, and our sponsors were Mr. Erbisch and Mr. Draime. Our junior year was a busy one. In the fall, we sponsored the annual Sadie Hawkins Dance. During the year, we ran half of the concession stands, sponsored bake sales, scrap and paper drives, and even sponsored one junk drive. In May of 1956, we honored the Class of '56 with the annual Jr.-Sr. Banquet and Prom. The theme of the prom was My Blue Heaven. It was greatly enjoyed by everyone that attended. When we enrolled last September, we realized that we were in the home-stretch of our high school careers. At last we were Seniors! The class officers for our final year were Robert Chamberlain, president; Mike Bradley, vice-president; Alma Til Ison, secretary; and Mildred Hartman and Nancy Blair, co-treasurers. Beverly Gregg and William Koons represented us on the Student Council. As our sponsors, we again chose Mr. Draime and Mr. Erbisch. After the first semester of this year, we found ourselves in the midst of a whirl of activities and plans for graduation. Before we realized it, our high school days were coming to a close. We finished our final year with the Jr.-Sr. Prom and our Senior Trip to Washington, D.C., New York City, and Niagara Falls. Now that we are saying farewell to old Homer High, we wish to express our utmost thanks to our sponsors, parents, and teachers, all of whom have given us that ever-welcome helping hand during the years we have spent in school. Bty YYlihe Bnadley Pno lhecif Clan ofc ’57 The scene is the train depot in Detroit, Michigan; the year is 1977. As we come in, we see Laura Kirts sitting on the bench near track 7 polishing a bridle. Approaching her, but not sure of who the other is, is Lorene McDowell. As they recognize each other, Lorene drops the manuscript she is carrying and the pages come out of their binding. As the two rush to pick up the pieces before the crowd tramples on them, we see that the manuscript is a history of the Class of 1957. Seeing as the train does not leave for another hour, the two sit down and start pouring over their classmates' present activities. The search for the Class of ‘57 began in New York City where Raymond Bender was discovered behind the wheel of his taxi cab. In Grand Central Station (it was with'great amazement that we learned this,) Jerry Gilbert is working as a dispatcher for the New York Central, keeping all the trains on schedule. Page number two holds another great surprise. Gerald Thurston's life-time occupation of winding the famous clock in Times Square. It was a visit to a recording studio that found Bruce Landis hard at work punching holes in the records. We were shocked to learn that Robert Winchell was running a bar in Jersey—a dairy-bar that is. As we turn to page three, our eyes lite up with surprise as we read that Martha Steeby was the President's nurse. (She also doubles as his caday.) It seems that this is no longer a man's world. We discovered proof of this statement when we learned of Helen Chamberlain's chosen vocation. She is one of West Virginia's best grease-monkies. More evidence to back up this statement is found when it is learned that Ken Davis is running a girls' boarding school. It was with ooh's and ah's that we looked upon page five. Here was a cover of the Actor's Fate and whose face did we find staring at us but Blair Bascom's. Reading on, we soon knew his story. Blair is serving as head drama coach at Steven's College for Women—his latest hit? Little Men. Everyone loves a circus. This is especially true of the Class of '57, because it is under the big top that three of its members can be found. Here circus lovers are thrilled and amazed at Gene Densmore's trained flees. We were in for a bigger surprise, however, in learning that the main attraction is Pat Willaert, and her trained elephants. Nancy Norton's headquarters are the main dressing tents. Here she trims the beards of the bearded ladies and massages the heads of the bald-headed clowns. Since clowns aren't the only ones who have bald heads, Rosalyn Betz is running a very successful business—an exclusive barber shop specializing in Yul Brynner hair cuts. When we turned to page twenty we looked twice before believing what we saw. Evelyn Bender as a famous model in a store selling clothes for tall girls? They say a woman's best friend is a diamond. If this be the case, Ruth Cortwright is probably the most popular gal west of the Rockies. Her talent is very rare—she mines and cuts these fabulous gems. Another gal owning her own factory is Mary Herrick. She manufactures heating pads for sore baseball players and their aching muscles. As page thirty-one was flipped, we found that Mildred Hartman has an interesting occupation. She works in an adhesive-tape factory where she plays their loyalty song, I'm Sticking With You. This page also held a clipping from a newspaper—a gossip column. Columnist Beverly Gregg gave us some interesting and amazing information. Alma TiNison is employed in a Chicago night club as a dancer and singer. , Glancing down further at the bottom of Beverly's column, we learn that Bill Koons is still living on the rruu or luvc. , Page forty-four gives us a feeling of pride and a little sorrow. Our own Mike Bradley, now a famous track star, had run the mile in 3.57 minutes. The only problem is that he has another sprained ankle. Two members of the '57 class have the nation's health on their minds. It is said that milk is the healthiest type of food, but that is just one man's opinion... Bob Chamberlain's. His statementisbiased, however, as he runs a diary farm. Turning to page forty-six, we see that milk-maid Nancy Blair agrees fullheartedly. Fred Butter's reducing salon has two regular customers so we learn. Both these gents perform services which left us wondering if our eyes were not deceiving us.. .Warner Green, who writes term-papers, and Bob Cascarelli who carries the title of Head Monk in California’s monastery. The next pages were a mystery story of great interest. There were three missing links in the class of 57. It was at this point that the new head of the F.B.I., Ruth Neitzke, was called in for help. It did not take long to uncover two of these—they were located just two jungles and one swamp apart. Deep in North Africa, Doyle Combs has set up an Arthur Murray Studio. If he is lucky, he gets a few customers before Bill Wood gets to them. Bill's profession? Shrinking heads for export to the U.S. (He's been in this line of work since he lost his dear wife, Gertrude.) ... _ . We know where the missing link is now. She is in the Detroit depot, but what is her story? Mrs. Laura Night'n'day and her faithless horse, Rusty, have been traveling back and forth from village to village taking care of people with in-grown toe-nails. i (7 0LAAx.au Lait Will and ‘Jentament We the Senior Class of nineteen hundred and fifty-seven, hereby, in sound mind and judgment, make and publish this to be our Last Will and Testament.

Ken Davis wills his ability to be a Romeo to Barbara Kubasky. To Bob Allen, Robert Chamberlain bequeaths his athletic ability. Rosalyn Betz wills her blushing ways to anyone not easily embarrassed.

To them the Senior Class wills its ability to face the responsibilities that it has faced and the class wishes the very best of luck to you. To Bill Erbisch, Pat Willaert bequeaths her slimness. Bill Koons bequeaths his boasting ability to Sidnee Sackett. Jerry Gilbert wills his ability to be late for everything, to anyone wishing to stay on good terms with the coaches for sports.

This, our Last Will and Testament, was signed, sealed and published by us, the Senior Class of nineteen hundred and fifty-seven.

'57 C aaa Poem Another year has come and gone, And standing here we pause To look back on the happy years. Before we leave these halls. For twelve short years we've wandered on Through grades, our goal afar; Then high school days brought to our gaze Commencement as a star. The way was harder, and harder still; Of words there seemed no end And yet we found Companionship And many a lasting friend. The lessons we have learned right here. Within these high school walls, Will go with us out in the world, and help us through life's squalls. by Warner Green And sometimes we shall see again A patient teacher's face As she kindly straightened out a kink And helped us in the race. Then always through the years to come These joys will have been ours, As much a part of youthful days As sunshine, birds and flowers. And richer all our lives shall be. Unselfish, glad and gay. For understanding that has come With teamwork every day. So as we pull for H.H.S. In story and in song. Let's get together on life's field And help the world along. 19 Would the Stainway he completed fion the Ueqinninq oft school? 3t wasn't. We ztanted anyway.

He attended Lincoln High School in Vincennes and then went to Battle Creek College. Mr. Draime landed his first coaching job in 1938 at Oaktown, Indiana which is onlv a few miles from Vincennes. His very first basketball season was a success with a final record of 18 wins and only 3 losses. In 1941 he joined the United States Army and served for four years. In 1949 Coach Draime came to Homer and has done an outstanding job. The records of his eight years of coaching at Homer are as follows: 1949-50 Won 0 Lost 16 Several close games. 1950-51 Won 6 Lost 8 Team beginning to shape up. 1951-52 Won 10 Lost 10 Beaten in finals of Districts. 1952-53 Won 10 Lost 4 First year in new gymnasium. 1953-54 Won 13 Lost 1 Conference champs. 1954-55 Won 9 Lost 5 Building for next season. 1955-56 Won 19 Lost 1 Undefeated season, then beaten in regionals. 1956-57 Won 9 Lost 5 Good team, but lacked height. Mr. Draime believes that his 7th and 8th grade basketball program has helped him develop his teams a great deal. , . . His idea of coaching is to win at least half of the games and more or less be on an even keel with the other teams and not necessarily be champions all the time. His teams have always had good character and have always tried to the best of their ability. Van'iitq Jeam FRIST ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: Dick Teinert. Mike Bradley. Bob Cascarelli.

Dowd, a charming middle-aged gentleman who sees and lives with Harvey, an unusual white rabbit who is six and one-one half feet tall, who dresses well and who talks with Elwood about beautiful women and other equally interesting subjects. The story is also about Veta, Elwood's sister who sees the rabbit often enough that she is almost committed to a rest home in place of Elwood. It is also a tale of a doctor who almost cures Elwood so that he can keep Harvey as a delightful companion for himself. The action of the play took place in a city in the Far West in the library of the old Dowd family mansion and the reception room of Chumley's Rest. What A Lite” December 10, 1957 The scene of the play takes place in the principal's office in Central High School. A large, heavy, oak-panelled room. Sunlight streams through a window. Under the window is an oak filing cabinet, on top of which rests a vase of yellow forsythia. The great portion of the play had to do with all the trouble that Henry Aldrich caused the school staff.

It was an exciting life, this moving from place to place; Dut it was not conducive to good schooling orpermanent friendships. The loss of two sisters in early infancy and of a seventeen year old brother left their mark on our lives. Our father's sudden death on the eve of what we thought was to be a very happy gathering for our parents—their golden wedding anniversary —left us stunned. After I graduated from the Soo High School, I followed my family to Ludington, where I attended Mason County Normal. For two years I taught all the grades in a large standard country school near Scott-ville. By then my family had moved to Spring Arbor where I went to teach all grades in the village school. From there I went to the Liberty School where I taught two years. In the meantime, I was attending summer schools and received my B.S. Degree from Michigan State Teachers College by taking extension classes, summer school work, workshops and a Kellogg Scholarship from Ohio State College at Columbus. Work was taken from Northwestern University, University of Michigan, Michigan State University, and a post graduate course at Greeley, Colorado. Hearing about a vacancy in Homer early in the year 1924, I came to Homer to make application. Superintendent Van Sickle started me on the round of seeing the school board members. I was greeted very graciously by that group of men whose only living member is Mr. Guy Putnam. On my new job, I spent my time with the fifth and sixth graders, following one class up through the seventh grade. Early one very cold morning, the fire bell rang. I got to school just in time to see my room go up in flames. There was some time of adjustment, listing our losses, gathering information for insurance purposes, and writing down the needs for the future. Then, we started half-day sessions for each grade. My first assignment under these new conditions was to teach in the small room of the Methodist Church basement. The next year I was asked to teach the seventh grade and work with the high school students in the public library. The same year I was requested to take over the first grade, which was in the Presbyterian Church, and in the afternoon work out a library program with over a dozen students as co-workers. Much planning and hard work were required for these changes. The next year I was transferred to the old kindergarten building which had escaped the ravages of fire. Here I taught the fifth and sixth grades. In addition to the regular classroom learning situation, we watched the construction of the new school. Along with the educational value we received from this contact with a new building, we endured the noise, confusion, and inconveniences, and even danger from falling trees and other debris. When the new building was completed, we were ready and happy to make the change from the old to the new. Even then, it was not all smooth sailing for the children from different district came in to work together—town children had to adjust to country childrens1 ideas and environmental backgrounds. Rules had to be made to fit the needs of a largenumber of children. This was a somewhat trying time for both teachers and children. Why worry about that now? Times have changed. In my room at the present time (1956-57), I have children of a number of my former students: Charles Bailey, Elizabeth Booth, Anna Estelle, Robert Folk, and Max Hyde. Miss Bessie Blair was my first high school principal in Homer, followed by Mr. Glenn Horton, Mrs. Inez Bridge Andrews, and the elementary principals—Miss Harriett Knapp, the late Mr. James McCully, Mr. Jay Kleinert, and Mr. Carl Stewart. Past and present superintendents at the helm during my teaching in Homer are: Mr. Clinton Whetstone, Mr. Carl Mays, Mr. L.M. Wade, and Mr. E.C. Highlund. A number of the Homerites with whom I have taught include the Cook Sisters, Mrs. Earl Schaberg, Mrs. Roland Reichow, Mrs. Howard Dye, Mrs. William Smith, Miss Bessie Blair, Mrs. Earl Jones, and Mrs. Forrest Potter. Living conditions have been very satisfactory. I was blessed with good homes while in this village. My hobbies are traveling (I have visited nineteen states and four provinces of Canada), taking my mother to visit relatives, reading, attending concerts and good plays, and watching television to keep up with my children at school. Now, as I am nearing the end of my teaching career, I feel that I have had bestowed upon me one of the greatest honors that any teacher could ever have, and I wonder what destinies will be inextricably linked with mine as children of future generations emerge from this building which will bear my name.
