THE HCQJNHZGAN ..wMzaef4uw4W:m.. pwmhaf A., . . THE SENIOR CLASS of IONIA HIGH SCHOOL IONIA, MICHIGAN MCMXLVIII wi ow, wow of Me adm Our age has been called the age of science. Discoveries and inventions, sudden and startling in their effects, are constantly changing the patterns of our lives. Until We, as students, have learned a little of the scientific approach, how painstaking and precise the processes leading to discoveries must be, We cannot grasp the meaning of these changes. THIS OUR WORLD OF THE FUTURE. With the help of the teachers of the science department all of us have taken our first steps towards understanding laboratory methods. These teachers have introduced us to the basic principles of scientific think- ing. Because even this small beginning of understanding Will enable us to meet the experiences of life with clearer eyes and surer balance, We grate- fully dedicate this issue of the Annual to the teachers of the science depart- ment. 2 cm -W. 5 X.

Our lonia High School would be lost without the keen art of our workers serving as janitors, ticket salesmen, and cooks. Alex Marchbanks has been custodian for twen- ty-six years, substituting in grade schools when needed. He does most ot the general repair work and works the year around. The watering system and heating plant of the high school are ably managed by the engineer, Clarence Speckin, For the past tour years he has kept the students and the faculty comfortable. He has had the help ot his son, Clair Speckin, tor the last year and a half. Clair Speckin can also be found doing many other necessities around the school. The well-balanced meals are planned by the dietician, Mrs. Belva Smith and are cooked by Mrs. Elliott Chadwick, Mrs. Lawrence Reister and Mrs. Ioseph Roush. There were about 135 students served lunch per day. In charge ot the lunch tickets is Mrs. Cornell, and her ticket salesmen are: Ioan Peabody, Honor Williams, Doris McCord and Lois Otto while Ioan Font took the tickets in the cafeteria.

We, the Senior Class of Ionia High School, City of Ionia, State of Michigan, having suffered this endless grind for four years Without protest, do hereby publish and ordain this, our last will and testament, while we are still of sound mind. ARTICLE I We, the Senior Class, do leave to the Board of Education, the new junior high building to complete and manage. We regret that we shall not be around to assist. ARTICLE Il To the Faculty we leave the credit of our fine record and the underclassmen to watch over. ARTICLE III To the junior class we leave our outstanding popularity, for we know that our passing will bring great sadness to their hearts. To the sophomores and freshmen we leave our dependability and sense of humor, the latter to be used when in the presence of upperclassmen. ARTICLE IV fPersonal Bequestsl I, Lorana Kauffman, do leave the worry of meeting the Spot- light deadline to Rus Gregory. May he carry on with a strong frame of mind, nerves of iron, and plenty of food on Thrusday nights. We, Ioyce Winchell and Carol Youngs, do leave our ability to be late to Senior English to anyone who can invent a slower walking pace than we did. We don't believe it can be done. I, Don Martin, do leave my ability to blow, horns and other- wise, to Rus Scholtens and Gary Moore. It'll take them both.

ANNUAL STAFF Annual For no man can tell what the future holds Abut your '48 IONIAN staff tried its best, and proudly presents its visions of the World of the l:'uturel Production got underway early in December when the staff members were selected. Immediately, a theme was chosen, and soon members were deeply engrossed in completing dummies, shooting people cmd familiar places, and selling ads and annuals. An assembly, Annual Alley, was presented in March to officially start the sale of annuals. The talents of an appropriated 'Senior Trio, along with a short skit and sales talks, combined to lend an air of success to the occasion. To our advisers, the faculty, Mr, Henry MacDonough, and to the businessmen who purchased advertisements, we wish to extend our deepest appreciation. Thank you alll Editor-in-chief . . .

Here we are at the dedication of lonia as the capitol of Michigan, which makes this year of l965 a memorable year to the people of this community. As we heard one old-timer say, We haven't had so much excitement around these parts since Green- ville grew beardsl Our first stop in our little tour of the city is, of course, at the new Capitol Building which was de- signed by Ralph Nelson and built by the Robert Montgomery Construction Company in what used to be the Meijer's Store parking lot. Also inspecting the new building is Willet Holcomb, owner of the Holcomb Steamship lines, and Richard Kenyon, founder of the Kenyon School for Young Gentlemen. ln one of the upper halls we find quite a literary discussion going on among Nancy Hilton, a promi- nent clubwoman who writes for Vogue, Mademoi- selle and I-larpies Bazaar, Lois Otto, author of the book of poems Leaves of Alfalfa, Ioan Higbee, the Hollywood columnist, and Lorana Kauffman, editor of the popular magazine, Fake Love Tales. We next go to the new lonia Sports Arena where we see such prominent sports personalities as Don Kohloff, Head Coach at Yale, Hugh Hodges, bantam- weight boxing champion, lohn Martin, guard for the Chicago Bears, lack Horrocks, who broke the lUU- yard dash record, Ruth Perrien, writer of track sto- ries, Bob Hodson, manager of the Detroit Tigers, and LaVern Raab, coach at Notre Dame. Now we find ourselves at the monument erected by the Automobile Club of Michigan to Iim Lewis for perfecting a new glass which is as strong as steel, and paving our Main Street with it. We can't make out all the words from here, but the biggest is S-M-O-O-T-H. Among the people inspecting the new monument are Doctor Charles Langdon, who developed a new type of painless dentistry in which teeth are filled by atomics, Don Martin, ambassador to Great Britain, Earl Nelson, the explorer who trap- ped and brought home the rare tree-dwelling ele- phant from wildest Africa, Ioyce Winchell, Principal of Greenville High School, and Don Wolfert, head of General Motors. Dropping into Edington's Elite Eatery, which is owned and managed by Nancy Edington, we are greeted by Chris Harder, the singer who replaced Vaughn Monroe, and Wesley Christensen, the great scientist who was the first man to land on Mars. While talking, we discover that this restaurant was heated by a system of atomic heating which was created by loyce Schied. We are next entertained by the floor show which is being staged by Elizabeth Grieve, the star of the great stage show Andante, Ioan Patrick, star of the movie Queens Row which was directed by Lois Warner, and the orchestra of Floyd Kenney, who has combined the bands of Woody Herman and Stan Kenton. As we watch the floor show we notice at neighboring tables, such celebrities as Mary Io Dodes, the mayer of Green- ville, Ianice Hackett, the chief stockholder at Gibson Corporation, Bob Scholtens, owner of the Northern Union Telegraph Company, and Margaret Strand, president of the Muscians' Union.

The first sight that greets our eyes is the Marsh Automobile Plant where David Marsh manufactures his Model T's which he sells to high school and col- lege students. Among the people inspecting the new line are Iohn Moore, the man who took lohnny Weismuller's place in the Tarzan series, Patricia Lazarus, who made a fortune of selling electric fans to Eskimos, lack Bales, who won the Pulitzer prize for the great book Thrilling Sport's Stories, Ilene Fuller, chief accountant for Hansmobile Corporation, Mary Barton, inventor of a diaper with built-in safety pins, Betty Collins, a famous dress designer, Nancy Carroll, owner of the chain of Carroll Beauty Shops, Dorothy Eddy, who is teaching a Iudo class at lonia High School, Clarabelle Bennett, owner of Ye Olde Fashion Shop, and Garold Galloway, manager of the local Walblue Drug Store.

This huge collection of buildings up ahead is the Hull stockyards run by Don Hull. There he is talking to Arden Petersen, the gentleman farmer who wrote the book Forever Ayrshire. Speaking of Petersons, there are the two Peterson girls, lane, who invented an easy chair that takes care of your every need, and lean, who has invented a machine to push those buttons. We see that Scoutmaster Richard Peabody is dis- playing his 150 merit badges for the occasion. Some of the people standing near him are lack Wilcox, first man to reach the center of the earth, Carroll Stanton, Indianapolis speedway champion, Celia Moon, writer of all ten songs on last week's Hit Parade, George Totten, Manager of Totten's Fly- ing Circus, Oren Shattuck, inventor of an atom- powered submarine, and Margie Thomas, who be- came rich when she discovered Uranium in her back yard.

After two weeks of practice the Bulldogs journeyed to Lowell for the opening game of the season in which Baab made a spectacular sixty-five yard run for the first touchdown. The Blue and White next played host to a highly favored Charlotte team. Three plays after the first scrimmage the Eaton County eleven were never in the game. Charlotte left the field, a thoroughly beaten team to the tune of l3-O. The Belding Redskins came to town the following week. They brought along their usual jinx, but the nights of hard practice payed off for the Bulldogs, and at the final whistle the score was lonia l3, Belding O. Then came St. lohns, and although they were outweighed the lonia eleven couldn't be denied victory. St. lohns went home on the short end of a 24-O score. lonia took an undefeated, unscored-upon team to Grand Haven, but couldn't stop the hardf charging Haven crew, and were defeated by the score of l8-6. Still smarting from the Grand Haven defeat, lonia went to Hastings and romped over the Saxons to the tune of l8-U. Reed City next came to lonia for the final game of the season. The Bull- Hike!

When the final gun sound- ed the score was Greenville 20, lonia O, The Bulldogs record for the season was six wins and two losses. A lot of credit for these vic- tories goes to Coach Newell, the High School Band, and the students and townspeople who cheered them on. Principal letter winners were: K. Gierman, D. Durkee, M.

In the tournament opener lonia overpowered Lowell to the tune of 41-20, but bowed to Green- ville the following weekend by the score of 35-30. With but one regular back from his basketball squad last year, Coach Newell put together a bunch of scrappy boys who made their opponents work for every point they made. Bulldog center, Bob Hodson, played a bangup game at the pivot spot all year long, as did forward Gordy Van- Houghton, who was one of the leading scorers in Bob Hudson I ' is ' Ionia 23..

Ionia ended up third in the conference, behind Greenville and Hastings. The Bulldogs lost two tough games to Greenville by just a couple of points each game, with the lack of accurate foul shooting artists their main downfall.

As the result of Mr. Shutes' ingenuity the band made formations at every football game that made the mouths of the spectators stand open in awe. Some of these outstanding formations were the Peg O' My Heart, the lrish eyes, and the circus merry-go- round. Lights on each player's cap gave an added touch to the half-time performances. Be- sides performing at the games, the band gave the MR. SHUTES AND BAND OFFICERS R. Scholtens, D. Martin, Mr. Shutes, J. Hijzbee, S. LQVallcy Bam! Bulldogs a royal send-off at many a football pep meeting. In appreciation of the fine job the band had done, the Band Boosters Club gave a dinner dance for band members and guests on lanu- ary l9.

The most outstanding event of the year was the annual Winter Concert given on March 12 at the Ietterson Gym. The band har- monized on such pieces as Student Prince, High Vision Overture, and a new novelty num- ber, School Days. The fourteen clarinets, ten trumpets, three flutes, one oboe, one bassoon, five French horns, six saxophones, eight trombones, three basses, and six percussion gave the band an unusually good balance. The band traveled to Grand Rapids April 3, for the District Band Festival and received a very high rating. On May l, the concert band played at the State Festival at East Lansing. A small, picked band played at all graduation activities in the spring. First Row: M. Strand, J. Morris, M. Stoll, Nelson Shutes, P. Seidelman, L. Hiler, C. Hilton. Second Row: G. Galloway, R.

Current Events once a week indoctrinate new history into the classroom. The second semester found the American His- tory students writing term reports while suffering from bad cases of spring fever. Mr. Warmbrunn's World History classes also study current events and try to bring happenings in history closer by noting first their causes and origins and then by tracing their effects. 4 ln a changing world, much more emphasis is being placed on the social studies. Mrs. Gould in her geography, social science, and history classes tries to bring out the relationship between social problems of the world in relation to the course of study. The World Geography class, new this year, and planned as an introduction to history, is taught with the idea of putting the whole world within the students' grasp. Through new arrange- ments of the classroom and manner of teaching and learning in Mrs. Goulds classes the student is urged to speak for himself and to subject his opinions and ideas for class discussion, thus moulding fuller, more socially-minded person- alities. amf Gwen works. ciology class. see how Civics really The social problems of our environment and th e relationship of every one as an indi vidual personality in it are discussed in the so L' 9e4 Languages, Latin and Spanish being the two taught, fall into the college preparatory classifi- cation, Their prime objective is to enrich the everyday language and vocabulary, and to en- able the student to use his vocabulary to better advantage. The first year Latin students toil through noun declensions and verb conjugations. Hercules and Caesar open their realms to the ambitious second year students. Use of Latin in everyday affairs is shown through the Latin newspapers which are taken by the second-year students. Latin week posters and crossword puzzles also make learning .E much more enjoyable. With special empha- sis on conversation, in- voking much vocabu- lary and pronunciation drill, a small class di- rected by Miss Argyle struggled through first year Spanish. Interest was heightened by much study of the cul- ture, life, and customs of Spanish America, more particularly Mexi- co. Along with the spe- cial studies and reports on Mexico as it was in the past and is today, the class also enjoyed talks on Mexico pre- sented by several speakers, Besides the projects already named the class made notebooks and posters, and plan- ned and prepared a Spanish-style meal. Color movies of Mexico were also shown. Mama 7fzeafzy A class of fifteen boys and girls were taught the technique, mechanics and style of music in a theory class instructed by Mr. Shutes. With the fundamentals and drudgery out of the way in the first semester, the students found their time much more enjoyably occupied with a study of the classics, particularly symphonies, concerts, and other orchestral works applying the knowl- edge they had already learned. Jfame Zcanomioi Dreaming of homes of their own, the girls en- rolled in the Home Economics courses find work in preparation of food, sewing, and home appre- ciation extremely interesting. They demonstrate their abilities, and often display garments, and other articles made by them in the show case in the lower hall. The delicious odors circulating about the halls give indications of their progress, domestically speaking. A new course has been added to this depart- ment designed for advance home economics stu- dents. Known as Effective Living, it is taught by Horne Economics instructor, Miss Snow. The course teaches good grooming, manners, and public relations, helping the girls to prepare for situations such as they will meet in the future. vqgaicuilme With fifty-two boys enrolled in his three agri- culture classes, Mr. Haslick finds much to keep busy. The ninth and tenth grade boys are en- grossed in the study of Farm Crops in relation to their adaptability to local soils and conditions. An eye to the future, these boys also learn how to conserve the fertility of soil through the study of Soil Management. Iunior and senior boys with profits and losses in mind keep accurate account records in connection with their Farm Manage- ment course. Field trips and demonstrations are a pleasant way of learning and add much to these courses. 32,91 1-:wh-'H I sr, . A 9 ,0,,,.1-v' fncfuihial and Weil' fnifiluie The industrial arts department, under the superf vision of Mr. Moore and Mr. Witherspoon, offers four years of drawing, and rnany boys take ad- vantage of this opportunity for training to become future draftsmen and architects. A general shop class, for eleventh and twelfth grade students, looth girls and boys, is offered, as is a farm shop for tenth graders who are taking an agricultural course. This year a new course is loeing offered in rnae chine shop. This two-hour class helps to train boys for work as machinists, including rnuch actual work, drawing, and reading work plans, The Veterans' institute is a night school spon- sored by the Board of Education for veterans who wish to take training for vocations and trades under the G, l. Bill of Rights, The veterans rneet for their various classes in the high school build- ing every Monday night. At present eighty veter- ans are enrolled in the institute. Training that will be invaluable in the busi- ness world - might well be the motto of the com- mercial studies. This department, under the direc- tion of Miss Krueger and Mr. Addison, is training the future secretaries, acountants. Already, many girls, after much hard work and practice, are holding part time office jobs. Speed and accuracy are the two elements of great importance to all short-hand students. Prac- tice sets, using business papers to make the situ- ation near an actual one as possible, highlight the course in bookkeeping. '7q7u7z9 Endless drills and lessons fill the hours for the typing students dur- ing the first year when desirable techniques of speed and accuracy a r e developed. The second year students find the monotony lift- ed. Various projects such as cutting stencils, and the making of poetry booklets at Christmas time, with all the designs and poems being done on the type- writer, account for this. Bufiinaifi '71zainin9 Annually, freshmen enroll in their first commer- cial class, business training, which provides a general background for the highly specialized methods in modern business. The second course, business arithmetic, provides a knowledge of those fundamentals of arithmetic so vital to the success of the worker in business and industry. The sub- ject matter is so varied that the student, whether freshman or senior, finds it interesting. Three classes a day are offered daily each semester, of which two are taught by Mrs. Cornell, and one by Mr. Morrall. Mrs. l-feitrnan, who teaches the freshmen, stresses oral English and tries to stimulate general reading interest through a study of all literature types. Tenth grade English, under the direction of Mr. Thompson, Miss Argyle and Mr. Smith, includes much written work, culminating in a lengthy term report at the end of the semester. The sophomores study American Literature, and the juniors find Modern World Literature very interesting. The seniors, in preparation for college, pursue a course in English classics, along with college pre- paratory grammar, under the guiding hand of Mrs. Smith. spud, The speech depart- ment, headed by Merle Smith found expression in many types of speech work. Dramatic readings, one-act plays, voice recordings were among these. Besides those already named, general speaking situ- ations are invoked, and the students learn how to use informative, demonstrative, persua- sive and entertaining speeches. T h r o u g h these widely diversified types of speech work the students become more poised and self confident, and they de- velop more desirable speech habits enabling them to feel secure in the complex society in which they are grow- .Ei Methaafa Last fall a new course, library methods, was in- stituted into the high school cirriculum under the direction of librarian, Thomas E. Davies. This course was designed to present to the students all the various types of reference material and how to locate that reference material in the li- brary. Held every school day at the Hall-Fowler Memorial Library, the students have three hours of practical work during which time they check books in and out at the circulation desk, replace index cards, shelve the books that are returned and complete other duties. The two hours remain- ing in the week are spent on class work. ing up. Angles, square root, and equationsj these are the details that oc- cupy the minds of the math students. Alge- bra, Geometry, Solid Geometry, Advanced Algebra and Physics constitute subjects taught in the mathe- matics department of lonia High School. Teachers, Mr. Wiles and Mr. Morrall, place much stress on accura- cy, and seek to build a usuable fund of in- formation, of invaluable aid to the student in future occupations. Their studies are the bases upon which all modern scientific dis- coveries are founded. College preparatory lflaifzenzalfioi Science students diligently pur- sue at least two of these subjects 'in anticipation of advanced collegiate work. The science course in lonia High School is designed to provide an organized wealth of material dealing with the phenomena of na- ture. This is accom- plished through such courses as general science, which acts as a preview to biology, chemistry and physics. These subjects attempt to explain the observed and experimental facts in terms of generaliza- tions known as laws, For with an early scien- tific understanding of life comes a life of more abundance and depth.

U14 fbaje W' fa fudqn The main event of the year was the three act play put on by the club. lt was a hilarious com- edy called NA Date With ludyf' given in the Elks Temple auditorium in December. The members of the cast and the student director loanne Patrick worked six long weeks on it before they presented it to the public. grwfffifffi When the first i'Spotlight appeared September l5, fourteen veteran junior journalists welcomed the new faculty sponsor Barbara Argyle. Early in October, and again in February, hopeful cubs were added to the staff, which made this year's group one of the largest staffs in its history. Each Monday noon the members met to receive assignments fo r the following week's four- columns of news. Proofreading at the Sentinel called upon two Spotlighters to trot down Union Hill each Monday. The typists and staff members beat the deadline on Thursdays. Three social highlights marked important events for the staff. A chicken dinner at Christmas time, supervised by Rus Gregory, was long remem- bered, as were the St. Patricks party in March, and the annual lune picnic at Bertha Brock Park. Ruth Stencel's sincere editorial urging support of the March of Dimes merited the attention of the local drive chairman, Frank C. lanes, who com- mended her fine article. Medals were awarded to some staff members for excellence in journalism at the spring award assembly. Spoilzghi Stag Editor-ln-Chief ....,...........
