F l 4 n The Industrial Arts Department offers three courses in shop work, Shop 1, Shop 2, and Farm Shop. Shop 1 and 2 cover mechanical drawing, woodwork, metalwork, electricity, and craftwork. Craftwork includes plastics, art metal, silver, leather, and carving. Farm Shop is a course in which the work is applied to the farm and farm life. It includes care and maintenance of tools, carpentry, ropework, metalwork, electricity, machine overhaul, and mechanics. Several improvements have been made in the shop this year making it a more efficient place to work. They include drawing tables, lockers, a sink with running water, a stockroom, storage cupboards, and a ramp which makes it possible to bring machinery etc., into the shop to work on. An important part of shopwork is the clean-up schedule. All the janitor work in the shop is done by the students. A rotating schedule provides each student with a specific clean-up job. This makes it possible to sweep the entire shop, put away all tools, and clean up the machines in just a few minutes. Most of the students in Shop 1 are Freshman, those is Shop 2 are Sophomores, and those in Farm Shop are Iuniors. Several girls enrolled in Shop 1 this year and have been very successful at this type of work. .. V .,, f 55 fwfr: Robert G. Hall Principal It has been our aim during your high school sojourn to provide you with the atmosphere and opportunities which will inspire each of you to make the most of your natural talents. Our interests will follow you as you proceed on your own, and we will be hoping sin- cerely for your success. Mr. Leonard Fessenden Mr. Albert Rose Many thanks to this pair whose efforts we appreciate. They were always willing to stay at rather late hours after our school functions and gave us a helping hand whenever we needed it. View of hall taken at 4 o'clock CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1936, six hardy pioneers, Peggy Ann Campbell, Dwight Hendricks, Bruce Lantzer, Edward Schneider, Ross Vallad, and Shirley Vipond started on their expedition to find the Golden Rewards of Education. Our leader for the first two years was Lucy Kneeland. This time was spent in rugged preparation for our expedition by running up and down the teeter-totter and throwing mudballs from the sand tables. In our second year of hardship, or First Grade, we were joined by another pioneer in the form of Betty Lewis. In our third year of wandering, or Second Grade, Miss Anne Makel took over the reins. Around the campfire, we were regaled with the adventurous tales of a funny cat named Funny. In the third grade the expedition was separated into Brownies and Fairies: the Fairies being the intel- ligent two thirds, and under the guidance of Miss Finety, and the Brownies CDwight and Rossi being the medi- ocre part of the class stayed behind in 3-B with Annie. In the Fourth Grade we were joyfully reunited. Under Miss Finety we had a whole year of learning to live like Indians in a teepee while the more civilized students lived under the library table. During this year a gap was filled in our wagon train when Goldie Prentice joined our party. Our experiences were just beginning when we were joined by Miss Makel and her rubber hose in the fifth grade. It was during this year that we were joined by Patty Thornburg and Duane Thomas. Many times we watched with horror as Patty, who was not as rugged as we, took a swig--of cod liver oil. In the sixth grade, we overtook A. C. Hansen who had been loitering along the trail. A.C., who was more worldly than we, showed us how to deposit our cuds in the inkwells. During this year the campfire got out of control and our dear wagon train burned. fyuk, yuk, that was a hot onelj After about a week of vacation our studies were resumed in the Ladies Aid Hall. This was a very de- llghtful experience for many of the pea-shooter enthusiasts because just across the street was the rear of the Kroger store where they could easily replenish their supply of ammunition with peas or beans which were un- fit for human consumption. As there was no water supply available we all carried our own. In the seventh grade we settled for one year in the town hall. We have many fond memories such as the aroma of limburger cheese roasting on the furnace. And also those many pleasant interruptions when the train would stop and let off steam beside our classroom window. Miss Elizabeth Banks proved to be a very good leader and showed tendencies for strong discipline. The next year we moved on, equipped with a new wagon train. We also lost Superintendent Woodly who was replaced with Mr. C. W. Clayton. We spent the eighth grade in the Home Economics room, again with Miss Banks as an instructor. Mrs. Bellinger tried to teach us English. Eugene Anderson and Donna Ball join- ed us that year. Then to the mutual satisfaction of both the teachers and ourselves we graduated from junior High. We entered our freshman year with a feeling of cockiness which after about two days changed to confused bewilderment. We survived the sophomore hazing. In Shop I, the feature attraction of the day, we learned all the angles and discussed most of the curves. Many of the members of Biology class lost their appitite for pork after the disection of a bloated pig. Our troop increased this year when we were joined by Nancy Aldridge, Nila Angell, Mary Ann Blair, Ieanne Carlisle, Robert Eckhardt, Alta Mae Groner, Joyce Golden, Wilda Hall, Louis Hayward, William Henschel, Nancy Isham, Robert Miller, lean McCoy, Rex Sieting, Alan Sieting, Law- erence Stebbins, Ioan Thorington, Marion Wesel, and Reatha Wonsey. We moved on. Two new members entered' our multitude, Al Brockway and Phyllis Blanchard. It was during our Sophomore year that we held our first dance. We made 37.00. We had a financially successful junior year under the guidance of Mrs. Clayton. One of the high-lights of the year was the beautiful junior Prom. This year Don Bonney and Frances Burnett joined us. We had a successful Junior Play 'They Gave Him a Co-ed . We had the experienced direction of Mrs. French. At the junior-Senior banquet we bade the Seniors of that year a fond farewell. At last we are SENIORS, Deo Gratiaisl The only addition to our class this year was Kenneth Bird. Our Senior year was spent in the hectic search of the almighty dollar. Mr. Richard La Mothe was our able advi- sor equipped with many original ideas. Our Senior Play 'The Big Potato , co-directed by Mr. La Mothe and Mr. Hall was a huge success and very funny. At date of writing we expect to go to Mackinac Island via boat from Detroit the middle of May. Our Baccalaureate Services will be held Sunday, May 22, 1949. Our Gradua- tion will take place the night of May 26, 1949. CLASS PROPHECY Hello---Operator? Give me Elm 703. Hello Mable? My dear, can you imagine? I just received a letter from EDWARD SCHNEIDER.
