Pour years ago when we entered high school we envied the upperclassmen's superiority and dreamed of the night we would take the Senior's place on this platform, but the task, which ap- peared so pleasant years ago, is met with many regrets tonight. We have spent important years of our lives here, and as we appear before you this evening we cannot refrain from expressing our deep sense of obligation which rests upon us. We cannot take leave of these familiar walls and sever the pleasant associations which have bound us together here, without acknowledging the debt of gratitude we owe to our parents and to our teachers. We appreciate the self sacrifice and personal de- nials you have undertaken in order that we might obtain our high school education. Although we have often tried your patience and waylaid your plans by our heedlessness, your labors have been an impressing, power- ful influence on our lives. We not only thank the teachers which are present tonight, but all the teachers who have watched over and guided us throughout our school career. Little commonplace incidents will long be clasped in our minds—they will hold a strange fascination for us because we dwell upon them as souveniers of departed friends. As we turn away never more to be called upon, never more to listen, laugh or think with you, the goodbye which we voice to you is indeed grateful and sincere. As in every group there will be the leaders and the followers, the happy-go-lucky, and the serious; also, the adventurers, and the physi- cal laborers. Each will take his place in the world and decide whatever problems arise. If his problems are difficult and his decisions are unwise he had only himself to blame, for few will lend a helping hand. His future is his own problem and if he fails to handle it wisely his life becomes dull and uninteresting. He is then classed among the group of mis-fits and cast aside—his ability unpracticed and wasted. CLASSMATES! This hallowed place holds us as its own for the last time tonight. Never again will we meet as we are now. Unspeakable memories fill our hearts. The pleasant scenes which are fast fading behind us pause to hold our view once more. The message which they send us falls richly upon each heart. If it is true that everyone who has made the acquaintance of a judicious and sympathizing friend has doubled his mental resources, we are an invincible company. We have long been fellow-students together and let us not cease to be fellow- students together and let us not cease to be fellow-students as we go out to our work. If we are true workers we shall together study the problems which confront us and shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart, we will work them into perfection. The clear duty of educated men and of every man is to form wise judgment and to follow our judgment as close- ly as possible in order to obtain the better things in life. We go, therefore, into a field of golden harvest—let us go with earnest feel- ing. But do not underestimate the value of this hour. Ties beyond all measure of value are being severed forever, they may not concern others, but they are ours. The day when these ties were formed in drawing to evening, the twilight deepens into shadow and every thought and impulse Is a memory and an anticipation. So, farewell, and as the word of severance parts us, let us go out to our labor, resolved each one, to play the part of the scholar and the man. Page Twelve Tamarack Pour years ago this class of 1940 began its high school career as timid Freshmen. We chose the following class officers for our Freshmen year: President, Gordon Van Ocker; Vice President, Neta Mae Hillman; Secretary, Doris Carpenter; Treasurer, Raymond Christensen; Sponsor, Mr. Ferris. The first event of the year was our initiation sponsored by the Sophomore class of 1936-37. It was met with cheers from the Sopho- mores, but ah, the poor FreshmenJ In December we had a class party in the high school gymnasium. Although the night was stormy, there was quite a crowd gathered to enjoy the evening of fun and enjoy- ment. In May came the biggest event of the season—the eighth grade banquet sponsored by the Freshmen Class. Everyone present enjoyed the dinner and the program which was given afterwards. The next year our social life really began, for we had two class parties. The first one was spent in initiating the Freshmen and af- terwards serving cider and doughnuts. At our other party we played games and enjoyed entertainment. The officers for this year were as follows: President, Russel Rasmussen; Vice President, Alice Petersen; Secretary, Lewis Durling; Treasurer, Harold Fitzner; Sponsor, Mr. Dale Anderson. Now, one more step and we were Juniors. The officers for this year were as follows: President, Jack Stout; Vice President, Raymond Christensen; Secretary, Bette Smith; Treasurer, Gordon Van Ocker; Sponsor, Miss Pillsbury. One of the outstanding events was the re- ceiving of our class rings, which gave us a feeling of superiority ov- er the lower classmen. Nevertheless, we still looked forward to next year when we would be seniors. The grandest event of the season was the banquet. We gave this in honor of the Seniors, who showed their appreciation by inviting us to march with them at Baccalaureate. When school opened this year we were known as seniors, perhaps not so dignified as led to believe, but, nevertheless, seniors. We elected the following officers for the year: President, N. H. Young- man, Vice President, Doris Cross; Treasurer, Jeanette Petersen; Sec- retary, Geneveive Nielsen; Sponsor, Mr. Kos. The first real event of this year took place in November. Every senior turned out to take his or her turn in front of the camera. The first party of the season was a victory dance after the Edmore—Lake- view Football game. Our next party was a dance for which Cecil Gates’ Orchestra played. Now we are all looking forward to the Senior Play. We also are looking forward to graduation, but there will always be a secret long- ing in our hearts for dear old Lakeview High.

On a bright sunny morning of September, 1937, there were fifty students standing around wonder- ing what to do next, where they should sit, and into which room they should go. In our first class meeting we elected our class officers for the freshmen year: President— Paul Gaffield, Vice President— Burnadean Houghton, Secretary— Kenneth Bucholtz, and Treasurer— Lloyd Mills. During the year we wez e ini- tiated by the Sophomores. In May we gave a banquet to the eighth graders of both town and country schools. It was one of the larg- est banquets ever held here. The next year our social life consisted of class parties. We also did a little initiating for the interest of the freshmen. Our class officers for the Sophomore year were: President— Burnadean Houghton, Vice Presi- dent—Oliver Bucholtz, Secretary —Dorothea Jorgensen, Treasurer— Russell Hansen. Our sponsor, Mr. Dale Anderson, resigned in Jan� uary, and Mr. R. D. Simmons was hired to fill the vacancy and to become our sponsor. This year we are Juniors and it seems that our three years of high school life have flown by. At present we are working hard to make the Junior Play go over as big as our other events. Our class officers for this year are: President—Barbara Johnson, Vice President—Oliver Bucholtz, Sec- retary—Dorothea Jorgensen, and Treasurer—Lossie Staffen. Our sponsor for this year is Miss Pillsbury. -Burnadean Houghton Tamarack Page Fifteen -(Left to Right) - Top Rot; - Stephens Andrews Kohler Socket Johnson Hillnah Main Miller Selesky Badge Holman McCarabridge Midlam Chipman.

Our first class meeting was called to elect offi- cers. This was under supervision of Miss Leone Willison our class sponsor. We elected the follow- ing officers: President—Robert Abbey, Vice President—Lloyd Ste- wart, Secretary—Beverly Hyatt, Treasurer—Scharlene Baker. We had two class parties in our freshmen year. The first was a Halloween party and the second was a skating party held on Tama- rack Lake. We elected Scharlene Baker as our Queen for the Carni- val. We took second place. Next year we hope to take first place. September 7, 1939, found a year before Sophisticated Sopho- mores. At our arrival on the first day we found plenty of op- portunity to work. Our first class meeting was called by Mr. Simmons, our class sponsor. The following officers were elected: President—Lavon Lebeck, Vice- President—Gene Jeppesen, Secre- tary—Beverly Hyatt, Treasurer— Melvin Holmes. We were not allowed to ini- tiate the freshmen this year be- cause of the way it was held last year. During the year we held three parties, two closed and one all-school-party. In all, our year has been very successful. Page Sixteen Tamarack (L. to R.) - Top Row - Hall Have Pea3ley Mahlich Larson Kill Pull Bollinger Rasmussen Blumberg Kohler Main.

How- ever a few of our number became discouraged and left us. There were five in all: Lorna and Clyle Beemer, Mildred Marshall, Carl Wal- cutt, and Deloria Green, whom we hope to have back with us soon. In our first class meeting we elected the following officers: President — Robert Youngman, Vice President — James Charnley, Treasurer — Donna Jean Abbey, Secretary ______ Vivian Charnley, Class Reporter — Deloria Green, and Sponsor — Mr. Fleck. This spring we are planning the annual eighth grade banquet for all eighth graders in and around Lakeview. We hope to be able to give them as nice a banquet as the classof last year gave us. We all hope that school will continue to be as pleasant to us as it has been so far and that our fifty-two will stick together until graduation.

Wedderbum Treasurer Lyle De Bois Lakeview High was well represented last Spring in the great American game of baseball. After a slow start, the team got into stride for the County games and managed to win a three way tie for County Championship with Stanton and Carson City. Lack of time and the end of the school year made it impossible to play off the tie. However we are now the possessors of a beautiful trophy. The first three games were lost to opponents because of better team play by our opposition. However, the last five games proved our ability to be classed as a championship team. With the majority of last years team back this spring, Lakeview has high hopes to be the lone champions this year.

'V' Kos Bucholtz Kohl Stanton Van Ocker Fitzner O'Malley Schwandt Rasmussen Stout Baird Christensen Skutt During the year of 1939, Mrs. Switzer as Coach of the girls' baseball team, had a very good year. They overshadowed their opponents with 154 runs to their 42; 14 home runs to 1; and had the comparatively few strike outs of 18 to their opponents 36. Kathryn Ward, Jeanette Petersen, Lorna Hunsicker, and Helena Fitzner were the outstanding players. The team usually lined up as follows: catcher. Hazel Sherman; pitcher, Lorna Hun- sicker; first base, Jeanette Petersen; second base, Kathryn Ward; third base, Erma Kappe; shortstops, Margaret Manley and Reta Rasmus- sen; fielders, Helena Fitzner, Pearl Welsh and Geneveive Nielsen.

The schedule included two Class A schools, a Class B , and five Class C's . Against such competition we did not expect to win too many games, but as much enjoyment and spirit of fair play can be gained from defeat as from victory. Lakeview had a large number of re- cruits out for the team but size and lack of experienced players was a big handicap. Because of the bus system the practice time has been reduced which hurt the playing effic- iency. This problem will be solved in another year. The future looks brighter along the football line and great hopes are held forth for next year.

Coaches—O'Malley Anderson The fall of 1939 found the girls, last year's champions, eager to get out there and win as they did a year ago. Mrs. Switzer, their very capable coach, who has worked with many champion teams be- fore, drilled and groomed the girls for the coming season. The result was, as could be expected, the winning of the championship—Helena Fitzner was the high scorer of the year. The girls have made the splendid record of losing only six games in four years. The forwards of this year's team were: Helena Fitzner, Eris Abbey, Jeanette Petersen, Erma Kappe, Pearl Welsh, Reta Rasmussen, and Scharleen Baker, the guards: Hazel Sherman, Burnadean Houghton, Margaret Manley, Erma Kappe, Grace Carr, Mary Lee Saxton, and Phyllis Nielsen.

Only two regulars were back from last year's team, so some positions had to be filled with new material. Many promising boys were found among the prospects, but lack of experience account- ed for only a fair season. The high light was the 25 to 14 victory over Carson City—the only defeat handed them in the county race. Our opponents averaged 25 points per game while we av- eraged 22, giving indication that all games were even and hard fought. Donald Stevens was the offensive star of the season, scoring 116 points, while Captain Rasmussen sparked the team on defense.

The aim of a reserve basketball team is to give experience to new men and lay a foundation for a better first team. Some of the team members improved so rapidly that they were promoted to the first team and did creditable work for the remainder of the season. The boys worked hard, had plenty of fight, and looked good in games in which they were defeated. Another year should see many of these boys playing on the first team.

A. groups, assembly programs here and away, basketball and football games, the Big Rapids festival, and the Decoration day parade. Another year we hope to have a rental system installed so that any person can join the band with only a small rental charge. Our goal is to be second to none in class C schools in our state. It is a privilege to belong to the band. For the past three years Mr, J. Hollenbeck has been our director.

This year the club did not attempt an operetta because of expense, but did sing carols at Christmas time for the Garden Club, and took part in a music concert held on one nite of the F. F. A. Fair. Some of the Juniors in the club furnish- ed the music between acts of the Junior Play. Anyone who can sing is welcome. We give one-fourth credit to anyone taking Glee Club.

There are approximately sev- enty Coys in the Lakeview F.F.A. chapter. Raymond Christensen is president, Russel Hansen is Vice President, Jack Stout is secre- tary, Russel Rasmussen is trea- surer, and Junior Jeppeson is re- porter. At the first regular meeting in the fall about twenty-two boys were initiated into the F.F.A. as green-hands. At the next meeting twenty-four green-hands were ad- vanced to the F. F. A. degree. The County Grain judging contest held at Carson City, Jan- uary twenty-sixth, was won by our local chapter. On March Fifteenth the par- ent-son banquet was held. Approx- imately two-hundred were present at this affair. Livestock, dairy, poultry, grain, potatoes, and farm manage- ment teams were trained and sent to the Junior Farmer's Week con- test held at Michigan State col- lege the first week in May. The results have not been made yet. An educational item of im- portance was the trip taken by five boys to the International Livestock Show at Chicago early in December.

The Home Ec. club began this year with a membership of seventy five. They elected the following officers: Presi- dent—Jeanette Petersen, Vice President—Hazel Sherman, Sec- retary--Helena Fitzner, Treasurer—Burnadean Houghton, Re- porter—Reta Rasmussen, and Sponsor—Hiss Leone Willison. We joined the Michigan and American Home Ec. Clubs. During the year we held three parties. The biggest was the Leaping Lena's Party, when we entertained the F.F.A. teachers and other gentlemen friends. At our other guest party we entertained the Morley Club. Through out the year we had several activities. We sold chocolate milk and pop during the noon hours and at the bas- ketball games, packed Christmas baskets, and furnished cur- tains for the Red Cross and Home Ec. rooms. The club also started a cafeteria in which hot lunches were served each noon. We arranged a flower show exhibit and won a certificate award. In all we have had a very good year.

Fut- ure Teacher'3 of America, sponsor- ed by the National Education As- sociation, is an organization of students who expect to choose teaching as their life profession. Lakeview's chapter is advised by Miss Willison and Mrs. Baker. County School Commissioner, Mr. Herold Rader, was instrumental in the organizing of this group last fall. At that time, Lakeview was one of the first five groups or- ganized in Michigan, and was the largest in Montcalm County. The name chosen was The Eu- gene B. Elliott Clubb , and the following were chosen as officers: President—Helena Fitzner; Vice- President—Marian Stimer; Secre- tary—Dorothea Jorgensen; Treas- urer--Eva Dawes; Song Leader--Hel- ena Fitzner; Librarian—Lewis Dur- ling. Although smaller than many of the high school organizations the Future Teachers have been quite an active group. Besides the regular meetings, the following activities may be credited to Lakeview's F. T. A.: helped with an assembly at the Montcalm County Normal F. T. A.; sponsored a Christmas party for the local teachers; had charge of a high school assembly at Lake- view High; conducted a survey of likes and dislikes among local students for teachers in general; and have been available all year for substitute work in the absence of local teachers. One more ac- tivity tentatively planned is an all-day trip to a Teacher's col- lege for information regarding the teaching profession.

This group has been divided into 4 patrols having the following leaders: Max Wedderburn, S. B. Cantrell, Bob Abbey, and Walter Wagner. Senior Patrol Leader is N. H. Youngman. The Scouts have had a very good year with the assist- ance of local men. The committee was as follows: Scout Mas- ter, Walter Moore; Assistant Scout Masters, Vaughn Cantwell, Dr. Gregg, and Mr. Hollenbeck. We have four buses this year, which cover an area of approximately ten miles on each side of Lakeview. Most of the pupils are entered in high school, but there are a few grade students making a total of 295. We haven't missed a day of school this year due to bad roads or weather conditions. Our buses are used for ath- letic and educational trips. They are also available to ru- ral districts for similar trips.

Dr. Baker Page Thirty-six Tamarack Sa otHcoi Richard and Emily Early have un- willingly deprived their four child- ren, Dick, a senior medical student, Hope, a social worker in Chicago, and Bob and Mary, high school junior and senior, of many opportunities to think and act for themselves. Even- tually their rebellion ceases to be inward. Dick precipitates a crisis by asking for money to marry Jenny Malloy and as a result of the argu- ment, Emily and Richard start on a world cruise. CHINA BLUE EYES by Carl Webster Pierce, a comedy of youth in three acts, was presented by the Junior Class February 22, 1940. The story of the play is based upon a very hu- man but humorus tale of a feud be- tween two adolescent brothers. Their parents do not see eye to eye with them and consequently a great deal of misunderstanding takes place. Final- ly all is well and peace reigns to the satisfaction of all concerned. The travelers are scarcely on their way when Delphie is taken seri- ously ill. Bob and his pal. Buzz Daily, become involved in a damage suit, Dick and Jenny are forced to come home, and Mary, much to Randy's disgust, gets a crushanan older fel- low, Jack. The young people find that life is real and earnest, and that being FOOT-LOOSE has its dis- advantages. But they prove themselves capable of meeting life's problems. When they return home Emily and Rich- ard realize that the children benefit from having to make decisions for themselves.

F. A. play was given November 10, 1939. The produc- tion was a domestic comedy entitled Everybody Works But Father , and was under direction of Miss Pillsbury. It was a decidedly modern play, fill- ed with bright lines and funny situa- tions. The cast did justice to the various character roles and played to an audience of about, 500 people. The Harvest Ball was held Novem- ber 22, 1939. The main part of the evening was enjoyed by dancing; how- ever, such entertainments as a log sawing contest, turkey raffle, etc. added greatly in attracting a large Lakeview High's Athletic Carni- val, sponsored by Athletic Director, R. E. O'Malley, occurredFriday even- ing March 29. Such attractions as Beano, Cake Walk, Fish Pond, Rou- lette, Doll and Fiesta Set Raffles, dancing, eats, and the crowning of Carnival Queen, Miss Genevieve Niel- sen, contributed equally in enter- taining the record-shattering crowd.
