Our iourney is finished, we have reached our goal, Graduation ie . ln i948 we entered our plane scheduled for a cruise over uncharted regions. We had as officers: Pilot, Sixto Olivo, Co-pilot, Joe McCorry, Chief Mechanic, John Cassidy, Purser, Joan Watkins, Representatives, Bob De Main and Susan Petsnick, and Navigators, Eileen Smocke and Yeoman Pe Long. We feared destruction in the air pockets near lnitiation Island, but we averted this disaster, which wasn't as bad as we had anticipated, and we continued our iourney. The following year, l949, we again entered the ship intent upon exploring further the region known as Knowledge. As Sophomores we had as officers: Pilot, Joe Mc Corry, Co-pilot, SixtoOlivo, Chief Mechanic, Joyce Whiteman, Purser, Joan Watkins, Representative, Bob De Main, Navigators, Mary Welsh and Yeoman Pe Long. This year, in order to earn money for our Senior Voyage, we sponsored several fudge sales. We had our first party at Collins' Roller Rink. ln a contest among the squadrons of the four classes in high school for student day, we selected as our candidates Superintendent, Ken Lee, Principal, Frank StapletSn, Secretary, Betty Kaake, Janitors, Jim Schirmer and Doug Maison. Ourlast project this year was the decoration of the gym for Baccalaurate and Commencement. We did not have any trouble with our engine nor did any other catastrophe befall us. ln l95O we embarked upon our th-ird voyage in the quest forEducation. ln this year we chose: Pilot, Don Wittrig, Co-pilot, Margaret Strump, Chief Mechanic, Joyce Whiteman, Purser, Joan Watkins, Repre- sentative, Arn Godo, and Navigators, Carolyn King and Peter Skeberdis. For the second time we neared initiation lsland and we stopped long enough to sponsor a baby parade for the class of l954. We ordered our class rings from the Terryberry Company of Grand Rapids. For the King and Queen of Football we selected as candidates, Joyce Whiteman and Joe Mc Corry. Our point system was estab- lished, and we started to work. We sold advertising for football and basketball programs, made and sold pompons for games, had fudge sales, candy sales and sponsored a Miss and Mr. Basketball con- test. Our own two contestants Margaret Strump and Arn Godo took the honors. For student day our candidates were: Superintendent, Joe Mc Corry, Principal, Bob De Main, Secretary, Joy Snyder and Joan Watkins, Janitors, Ken Lee and Duane Lo Bair. Our Junior Play, 'Meet Me ln St. Louis, was presented the evenings of April 5 and 6. The cast consisted of: Mr. Smith-- Don Wittrig lda Boothby--Joy Snyder Mrs. Smith - - Peggy Stenzel Luci Ile Pentrard - - Joyce Whiteman Rose Smith . .

Music was supplied by Chester Cosavage. Thus it was that our last year came and we proceeded to secure for ourselves a much better knowl- edge ofthe unknown. We chose for our last hop, l95l, Pilot,Don Wittrig, Co-pilot, Ken Lee, Chief Mechanic, Joy Snyder, Purser, Joan Watkins, Representative, Arn Godo, and Navigators, Joanne Olmsted and Richard Wheeler. Our candidates for King and Queen of Football were Ken Lee and Lois Sisson. Powell Studios took our Senior Pictures, they were delivered to us on November 26. We sponsored paper drives, A Christmas Ball, Bake Sales, sold Christmas cards and wrappings, magazines, and advertising for basketball programs. ,continued on page 18 Q 17 For our Senior Play we presented another costume play, 'Turn Back The Clock.

We left, May I9, on our Senior trip and arrived back in Detroit on the 22nd after spending three very enioyable days in New York. A train took us through Canada and we arrived at Grand Central Station early the second day. During our stay in New ork, we stayed at the Hotel Park Sheraton. Our sight-seeing tour took us to Manhattan, Chinatown, The Bowery, Site of the U.N., Cathedrals, Harlem, Greenwich, and Broadway The next day everyone enioyed the trip around Manhattan on a sight-seeing yacht. Our Senior trip was truly the highlight of the year. It is with great regret that we say good-bye to I.C.H.S., our good ship which has borne us up so faithfully. We have received our honorable discharge papers and our four years' cruise is almost over. PROPHECY Dear Diary, I have looked forward to this day for so long. It seemed good to see the old gang again. Ac- cording to previous plans, I picked up Joyce Whiteman at the Art Institute where her latest paint- ing of 'An Arabian Landscape' was being exhibited and Marlene Jahn at her new bowling alley. It appeared to be quite a place. I'n1 sorry I didn't have time to look it over. We headed due North on Van Dyke which has now been developed into an eight-lane highway. I was told that it had been constructed by the Robert Bade and Almon Brandt Construction Company. On the outskirts of Detroit we stopped to see an accident which had just occured. Who should we find in the driver's seat, but Rheta Bicknell being accompanied to the Lapeer vs. Imlay City game by Doris Powers. It was at this time that a grease smeared mechanic walked up to offer his services. It was none other than Tom Draves. He agreed to take care of the remains of the car before he, too, left for Imlay City with his wife, Marilyn and their nine children. Just as I was about to leave with two additional passengers, Doris and Rheta, who should appear on the scene but that Irish Cop, flate as everi Joe McCorry. After a half hour of ques- tioning we finally got the cause and result of the accident through Joe's head. He then agreed to escort us to Imlay City. Joe climbed ohto his motorcycle and with a screech of the siren we were off. We traveled at a very good speed. We were doing IIS mph, but we must take into con- sideration that John MacDonald makes these cars, and you know how fast Johnny always was. 18 About five miles out of lmlay City, we noticed Joe trying to direct our attention to a large red and purple sign. On it in huge letters were the words Honest Andrews for Bigger and Better Cars. He is probably still trying to sell those cars he had while he was in high school. Then we saw Sollman's Acres' --the biggest bean farm in Michigan. His inspiration to take up bean farming came to him one Friday afternoon in U.S. History class. As we drove over the hill a gigantic sign met our eyes. In shocking pink were the words 'Stern and Cassidy's Mellon Plantation. CWatermelon that isll Rheta mentioned that she heard the football team was eating up all their profit. As we drew near to lmlay we noticed a plane was circling over. the town. We.w0r1deI'eCl if it could possibly be Joan Watkins back from her hop around the world. Doris said that there was a piece in the paper about the invisible island she had sighted off the Florida coast. Driving on, Marlene asked if we had heard the latest news on Martha Bode. 'We were very surprised when she told us that ,she had at last found the slight flaw in Einstein s theory of relativity after twenty years of research. lt seemed good to turn down Third Street again and see the familiar places. On oneiside of the telephone poles was a notice stating that Barbara Dewey WGS YUHHIHQ for Pffrs' 93.2 She had been trying for three terms now, but hasn't done any better than her Uncle om I twenty years ago. As my Cadillac sped past the main intersection we thought we recognized the brawny figure of Bob Ellis, who has taken Lex Barker's place as Tarzan in the movies and with him was Danger- out Don Deming now wrestling on T. V. It was time to eat lunch so we dropped into the Kup Kaake Tea Room, owned and managed by Patty and Betty. We ate dinner with Frank Berlinger, Bill Warner and Tom Kalisz, who told us of their daring exploits in deepest Africa where they have spent the last six months hunting wild elephants. After lunch we started for the game by way of Almont Avenue. lt was here that we met Arn Godo, who is now working in Fort Knox as a doorman. lt seems funny that Arn should have a Cadillac and a diamond ring. As we entered the gate at Schirmer Stadium, there stood two intellectual looking women, yes, it was none other than Mary Burger and Leola Clemens, now professors at Yale. l heard later that Jim acquired the money to donate the stadium from his very profitable Billiard Hall. As we proceeded to find our seats who should we run into but Ken Lee and AI Lindke, who had iust returned from Siberia. They had tried to make a retreat from women. Seems they still have as much trouble with them as they had in school. An elderly gent dusted off our seats and handed us our programs. He looked very familiar and it was Joyce who first realized that he was the old brain of the class, Don Wittrig. Don told us that there were still several class members around town. He pointed out the four Cheer- leaders on the field and said that they were Doug Mai son's daughters, and Duane LaBair's boy is the fullback on the team this year. Don said that he had received a letter from Pete Russell who was sorry that he and Earl Colburn couldn't come because they were in charge of filling in the Grand Canyon as a safety measure for the government. fcontinued on page 20 J 19 As we were sitting in the stands we noticed a crowd of people on the field. After the crowd disappeared we saw that the attraction had been Lorna Williams and Joyce Jager, who are on the U.S. Olympic Team. lt looked as if the girls were getting writer's cramp from sign- ing autographs. For pre-game entertainment the Duckworth Trio sange, The Varsity Drag. Following the musicwas an interview of Beverly Miles, noted author, whose most recent book is 'The Private Life of Mary West, now one of the current names in the movie world. Next to be interviewed was Mary Ann Trowbridge, now representing the U.S. in the United Nations. The Russians iust can't see eye to eye with Mary Ann. Along came Marvin Gleasure and sat right in back of us. He told us that Dave Herbert, Leon Boruszko, and himself had iust returned from taking the census in the Anartic. A very dashing character passed in front of the stands. It was none other than Dean Weaver, iust back from a tour of the milinery markets in Paris. l wonder if he got any new ideas for his ladies' hats? Sitting a few rows over was the noted playwrite, Ula McLean, whose current hit is, To Throw Beans or Not to Throw Beans. lt stars that great actress of stage and screen, Patricia Taack. Sitting with Ula was that beach-wear model from Florida, Wanda Baker. Although the football game had been very exciting, we had missed most of it renewing old acquaintances. The final score was Lapeer 6, lmlay City 47 at the whistle. Margaret Strump came iust as we were leaving. She is now the owner of the Strump chain of 5 and l0gt stores in the U.S. Upon leaving the game we stopped in at the Dragomon Convalescent Home for aged baseball players. Florence told us that she had received a letter from Peg Stenzel today. Poor Peg had been trying to swim the English Channel for the last ten years but she hasn't made it yet. That evening we attended the Pro-game Banquet. As we sat down at the honored guests' table we saw that Mr. and Mrs. Bob Wheeler were seated across from us. They told us that they were expecting to meet Lois Sisson and John Nickora. Lois is playing the part of Helen Trent on the radio show and John is on the 'flust Plain Bill' program. Through the door came a very familiar figure, but none of us could quite recall the name. Then Marlene realized that it was Joy Snyder. That brown hair fooled us. With Joy were Mr. and Mrs. Jack Halstead. They left all the kids with Nicolyn Makedonsky, who has the Sitting Service in lmlay. lt was at this time that the dinner was served. At our table serving was Virginia Whittkopf and Ellaine Eddy. Boiled lobster was the main course prepared by the skilled hands of John Sohlden. After the delightful dinner Frank Stapleton, the prominent banker of the town, introduced the main speaker of the evening. lt was Lois Dowling, who spoke on the variation of the T forma- tion and single wing. It had been a big day so everyone said goodbye and started for home. The next home- coming game will not be held until l985, but l can wait. Bob DeMain Marlene Jahn Joyce Whiteman CLASS WILL We, the Senior class of the lmlay City High School County of Lapeer, State of Michigan, being of sound mind and body, this twenty-eighth day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and fi fty-two, do hereby make and declare this to be our last will and testament.

Our first main event of this year was the initiation of the Freshmen. There was a parade from which was chosen the most original, the funniest, the least dressed, and the most dressed. Amovie was made of this parade. After a Truth and Consequences Show , refreshments were served. This was followed by a dance in honor of the Freshmen.

The American History class won, so the Sophomores gave a party for us. Mr. Powers and Mr. Cooper were in charge of these proiects. The class officers met with representatives from different ring companies to determine from which company we would buy our class ring. The class decided that we buy from the Josten Company of Milwaukee.

Under the guidance of our sponsors, Miss Warra and Mr. Roland, our class has participated in various activities.

This being very successful, we began our money making projects of this year. With the approach of the School Fair the Sophomore English classes challenged the Junior History classes to a contest to see who could prepare the best exhibit suitable to their classes. 26 SODHOUIORES Back Row: Richard Upleger, Roger Reed, D' k C b II J h W' I B b h ' Weyer, Steve Parnicky, Bruce Upleger, Charlfs H3iril,pTT:m' Rgmiilnelegenccolnd oRovSvcf '3lbbnLee BUVQGSSI Elaine Felton, Barbara Crawford, Marilyn Raetz, Mildred Gibbard Virginia Ellis Beverly Harrison, Judy Yntema, Sandra Ward, Yvonne Spencer.

Parva Sed Potens Latin Club The members of this year's Latin Club included Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen, all under the supervision of our sponsor, Miss Waara. Some of our many activities were, the initiation of new members, seeing the stage play Guys and Dolls, and our Roman Banquet. We had many money-making proiects, so that we could keep our treasury supplied with at least a few pennies. We held our meetings once a month, with the exception of special meetings, had regular dues to pay, and all in all had a lot of fun. The only requirement you must have in order to join the Latin Club is that you must have had Latin at one time, or are now taking it. x X ' JOUl2l1AllSl11 ClLlB tt 'JD 10,3 qs Back row: Ruth Knight, Dick Muir--Sports Editor, Jim Newcombe, Charles Kaake--Business Manager, Jaan Cavanaugh, Anna Repits.

At the beginning of the school year, l.C.l'l.S. had no newspaper, no staff, and no sponsor. ln a short time, however, this situation was altered and Mr. Roland assumed the responsibility ofa school paper. The first thing the staff undertook was to find a new name. The Gladiator was substituted for 'Spartan Spark. Another outstanding change in our paper was the linotype instead ofthe mimeographed copy. By having the lmlay City Times print the paper, it was possible to have pictures and cartoons. With this added expense of printing and still selling a nickel paper, it was necessary to solicit ads from the local merchants. vanslty clus Back row: Don Showler, Bob De Main, Jim Newcomb Dean Weaver Lee Weyer Dou Maison D' k M ' Steve Parnicky Bill Warner, Tom Kalisz Second row' Jack Stovel Dick U I 9 ' lc ' uw' ' , ' ' pl , G ld St , D k C - gall, RonFMarshall, Ken Lee, AI Llndke,.Pete Russell, Jesse Torres, Bob Edflgjds, Dbchny Fibrga, lsussamp CZSLIE- Jfogtrrow: Eob Coenen, Fred lrish, Joe.

FOOTBALL Frequent iniuries seriously handicapped the Spartans united efforts for a succes f I s u season in the won and lost column. Fortunately the success of a season warrants more than victories and this is where the capability of our boys emerged supreme. The attitude displayed by them in school as well as upon the playing field can only be equaled and never surpassed With sportsman- h s ip as their guiding light, they religiously battled each game with everything in their power. Individual efforts gained notable acclaim for the following players. Doug Maison Co-Captain elect and an all-conference selection as quarterback. Frank Stapleton Co-Captain and all-conference selection as tackle.

When the records of this season's team are compared to past achievements, it will be justifiable to rate them as one of the school's best. Lacking the height of past years this club relied upon spirit and aggressiveness to achieve its successes. Supplying the backbone of the squad, Doug Maison established an all time scoring record with his supreme efforts. Capably supporting him in the point column was Joe McCorry who also tallied over the coveted 200 mark. Outstanding floor play was displayed by seniors Bob DeMain, Dean Weaver, and Arnold Godo. Prospects for a good club next year were evidenced through perform- ances of several under-classmen. The High School records ofthe seniors: F.G. F.T.M. F.T. Ave. P.F.
