Lapeer High School - Pantherscope Yearbook (Lapeer, MI)

Text from Pages 1 - 90 of the 1929 volume:

FOREWORD It is with a feeling of considerable pride that we offer to you this, the 1929 volume of the La Pierre. May it perpetuate the memory of a very pleasant school year. (2 • The 1929 b PIERRE Published by The Class of 1929 LAPEER HIGH SCHOOL PAGE THREE -+■ V w 0- that in a town the size of Lapeer, and in a school the size of ours, the Annual could hardly expect to be a financial success. After consideration we have decided that the La Pierre is worth the time and expense necessary to publish it, but we have also taken pains to solicit in such a way as to prevent the criticism of former years. The time comes when every student must prepare to leave the school. It is not until then that he begins to realize what is being done for him by those who make a High School possible—by the taxpayer who expects no immediate return for his money but who is thinking in terms of posterity—by the members of the School Board who are contributing to the school much more that the citizens—by the faculty who are in close contact with the student and hence, contribute not only by helping to interpret the textbooks, but also, by giving inspiration—being critics—personalities to whom the student may turn in developing the fullest interpretation of life. To these, when we think of it, we owe a debt which we cannot hope to pay. It is a debt which is not to be repaid because it was not given in such a manner as to be repayable. To me there comes the feeling that the only way we are expected to make recompense is to DEDICATION In Recognition of Their Efforts in Behalf of Lapeer High School, We Dedicate This Annual to MR. AND MRS. JOHN F. YAEGER As a Token of Our Respect and Appreciation PAGE SEVEN Dr. W. J. KAY A. C. HOLLAND Dr. H. B. ZEMMER E. T. DESJARDINS E. T. WHITE E. L. PADDISON KIRK WHITE PAGE EIGHT X school inspectors, two of whom are elected each year for a three-year term, together with the mayor, comprise the Board of Education of the school district of the City of Lapeer. This Board has a separate and distinct corporate identity and is charged with the government and administration of all schools in the district together with the expenditure of all moneys raised or received, from whatever source, for school purposes. The Board serves without any remuneration. The Board of Education meets regularly once a month on the second Friday of the month and in addition special meetings are held as the need may arise. In order to make the work more effective the Board is divided into three committees, Buildings and Grounds, Finance and Supplies and Teachers and it is through these committees that the largest part of the business of the school is transacted. The present Board has seen the Lapeer High School almost double in enrollment. The Junior High School organized, new departments added, and the erection of one of the finest and most modern high school buildings in the state. The Board tries at all times not to be influenced by individual opinions or criticisms but to act for the good of the greatest number in its relations with parents, teachers and pupils. Made up of men from different walks of life and with different ideas and beliefs—politics, partianship or personal prejudices have never entered its deliberations. If this Board has had any measure of success it may be attributed largely to the harmonious relations existing among its members. PAGE NINE PAGE ELEVEN E. E.

PAGE TWENTY-SEVEN Class History Perhaps some of you remember the Class of ’26 was the first to successfully edit an Annual. It was very auspicious to note that in the Will” the Verdant Freshies” were bequeathed nothing more sarcastic than the best wishes of the Seniors for in their estimation, were we to continue our present success, we would rise to fame similar to that of Julius Caesar and the Duke of Wellington. And my friends we are a Ver’ry remarkable Class.” To delve back in the Dark Ages—in our Freshman year we were the largest class ever to enroll. We were exceedingly meek creatures and astounded every one by winning the Class Rush. In fact the class of ’28 never got over it! Our Inter-Class Boys’ team won all but one game; we took part in the Glee Club Minstrel Show and Public Speaking Contests. So we passed on to our second year well content with the applause of the multitudes. On September 21st of the following year the Class organized with John Roberts and Miss Pacholke as President and Sponsor. We started our hale and hearty and won this year’s Class Rush. We have so many famous athletes and their doing are so numerous it might be well to begin to enumerate their activities right now. In his Freshman year, Roberts won a basketball and football letter. This year both Roberts and Bentley took basketball and football letters and John had the additional honor of being presented with the Leland Baird Memorial Cup. Others of our class were represented on our football and basketball teams. We won a state contest in Declamation and had an active member on the debate squad. And so another school year closed. The next year Jim Bentley, a popular student, was elected president and M iss Lindsey, sponsor. John Roberts led the varsity basketball team, as well as partaking in football and track. Jim Bentley skipped lightly betw'een athletics and junior play practice. The Whole Town’s Talking” was wisely selected and ably directed by Miss Lindsey and the class is grateful to the entire cast as well as to the ticket, program and advertising committees. The play was even more successful than the preceding year and one of the most unique J-Hops was the reward of the Juniors. Here aga.n the whole class is to be complimented on its cooperation and Mr. Taylor especially for his capable management of the astounding number of details connected with it. Some of our members were interested in oratory and debating and others took up glee club, orchestra and band work; some of the participants going beyond local prominence and winning honors in district and state. We Juniors furnished a Student Council President as well as slinging out a few athletes for mythical tournament teams all over the state. We kept the Leland Baird Cup in our midst, other classes being unable to wrest it from our favored hands. Athleticly and Scholasticiy, we were Rah! Rah! Rah!—but Socially we were wrecks. The Senior officer election was identical with that of last year's but Mr. Beach was gladly welcomed as sponsor. At a January class meeting the Annual Staff members were elected, the class realizing the time and work which must be spent to produce an Annual worthy of our aspirations. PAGE TWENTY-EIGHT February 28, and March 1, we put on a moving picture at the Lyric and it was most successful. Once more a Student Council President was elected from our ranks and again we soared in athletics, public speaking and music. Bentley was captain of the football team—Hagenmeister, Roberts, Cooper, Taylor and other seniors making a formidable array. The first three were elected on the mythical all Tri-County Football Team, and Bentley was further honored by being placed on the Mythical all Tournament Basketball Team. The Debating Team, two of which were seniors, made the eliminations and were awarded a handsome wall plaque. Wm. Boger, also went out for oratory and won the school championship. The latter part of the school year was spent in carefully preparing this Annual of which this History is so minor a part. Class of ’29—Farewell. Class Will Attention, all ye fellow students! May it be remembered that we, the celebrated class of nineteen hundred and twenty-nine, being of sound mind and memory, do hereby make, execute, and declare this to be our last will and testament. To the class of nineteen thirty we leave the task of making the fifth La Pierre.” To the Sophomore class we bequeath our honorable dignity, because we think they might be able to use it. To the Freshies we leave the ability to make their succeeding years in high school as eventful as ours. To Mr. and Mrs. Slater we bequeath all wads of gum found underneath desks and chairs; also, all rubbish from our lockers. Jim Bentley bequeaths his quiet and intelligent manner to Enoch White. Sheldon Winslow, our physical giant, bequeaths his Physical Culture Booklets to Frank B. Kellogg and Dick Belz. Marcia Cary, our silver tongued orator, leaves her speaking ability to James Warren McMullen. Leona Smith and Harriet Green bequeath the first two chairs in the clarinet section to Don Harrison and Dutch Holland. Don Spencer leaves a few of his late hours to Twila Thompson. Russel West endows his constancy on Wayne VanWagoner. Grant Carter and Walt. Bard bequeath their ability to get excused absence slips to Vaughn Harris and Ray Eastman. Ted Shepherd leaves his love for art to Dick Beardsley. Floyd Spencer leaves half of his fast growing beard to Ed Belz, as he has enough for both. Forrest Laidler, after laboring for many long years to perfect his blond curls, regretfully leaves them to Margaret Murrey. Whitey Calvin Cliff bequeaths his timid spirit to Ralph Patten. Little Elaine Hayden leaves her Self Reliance” to Helen Metheney. PAGE TWENTY-NINE — To any girl who is in the habit of walking home, Harold Kingsbury bequeaths his bicycle. Art Cooper bequeaths his can of hair grease to his brother, Howard. Lillian Harvey declares that she is three pounds overweight and so she leaves the surplus to Joyce VanWagoner. Marjorie Belle Kerr leaves her luxurious curls to her sister, Vera. John Roberts would leave his stature to Cal Gillette, but knowing from past experiences that he would not take advantage of it, he leaves it to Bernard Farrington. Bill Boger bequeaths his Palm Olive complexion to Francis Thorne. Robert Hungerford leaves the rest of his correspondence course on How to Become a Husband in Six Weeks” to Raymond Torrey. Junior Laughlin leaves a handful of I. O. U’s to Roy Stiles. Carl Kurtz and Don Vanderlip bequeath their splendid attendance records to Bill Carpenter and Carl Taylor. Marvin Jarvis and Raymond Williams leave their mathematical domes to Stan Harbron and Paul Dugan. Marguerite Tallieu bequeathes her snapping eyes to any Junior girl who needs them in her business. Lucelia Gerwolds leaves her hostility toward men to Verena Ward and Thelma Kelly. Bernice Stone and Gerald Titsworth, our Romeo and Juliet do bequeath their enduring affections for each other to Jean Taylor and Ferris Kerkau. Kenneth Gardner and Dwain Stier leave their leather-bound library on How to Conquer the Sheep-tick” to Robert Drainer and John Wallace. Mary Running, from much experience, has developed an extreme dislike for those of the opposite sex and wishes to pass this on to Marion Scholtz. Rex Chapin bequeaths his sophisticated dignity to Ed Spaulding. Hazel Gordon leaves her ability to write A” contracts to Josephine Kitchen-master. Lillian Nass bequeaths her claims on Dick Belz to almost any one. Pete Hagemeister bequeaths his winning smile to that Lum girl.” Max Daniels, having long since known How to drive with one hand” leaves Jim Walker the art, as he thinks Jim will need it. Winifred McDonald bequeaths her Venus like figure to Ruth Donaldson. Gladys Maccomber bequeaths her gum chewing perfection to Florence Beattie. Adele Metheney leaves her Prom-Trotting Technique to Kenneth Stanton. Bill Murray leaves his track shoes and all paraphernalia to Irene Rossman, knowing they will be of unestimable value. Norma Pearce bequeaths her potato-peeling perfection to the Sullivan Twins. Madeline Peaslee bequeaths her gift of gab to Thelma Smith. Bernice Porrit leaves her last year’s income to the Juniors to help them on to Washington. Stanley Scannel leaves his studious looks to Earl Hauxwell. Myrtle Lucas leaves her place on the honor roll to Leslie Inman. And I, to express my magnificent kindliness, towards those who, I fear, will be inclined to persecute me after hearing the reading of this will, do hereby bequeath to them all of my commendable qualities. I hope they feel only gratitude, for this gift is of inestimable value. In conclusion we, the Senior Class of Lapeer High School, hereunto set our hand and seal this year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-nine. Witnesses: Leander Beach Carl B.

At the September election of officers the follow- N ing were selected: Thelma Smith, president; Wayne Van Wagoner, vice-president; IK Alice Anderson, secretary; Miriam Warren, treasurer; F. B. Kllogg, 1 1B presi- II dent; Josephine Beckman, 11B vice-president; Ruth Nicholson, 11B secretary and i treasurer. Blue and white were adopted as class colors and On to Washington” f for our slogan. Early in the fall we received our class rings. 1 We take great pride in our interclass basketball teams, especially the girls’ team which won the cup. Our class is well represented in all school activities such as football, basketball, baseball, track, the musical organizations, dramatics, debating, honor roll, and various clubs. During the year we have held bake sales, suppers and sponsored a successful pennyweek to earn money for our Washington Trip” to be taken in our Senior year. It is with deep regret we mention the death of two of our classmates—John Basco and Genevieve Jarvis. Our Junior Play, Charley’s Aunt,” was a great success due to the efforts of the entire class and especially to the advertising chairman, Dick Beardsley; the program chairman, Lawrence Burt; the properties chairman,' Helen Slater; and the ticket chairman, Miriam Warren. In expression of their gratitude to Mr. Smith, the director, the class presented him with twenty-five dollars in gold. We are making big plans for a gorgeous Junior Prom.

With this in view, we have tried to keep up the interest shown by producing an Annual which we hope will meet with your approval. It has taken lots of hard work and no less time to gather the material given on these pages, but if in so doing we have created more interest and more pride in these things that pertain to Lapeer High School, we will consider our time and our work well spent.

The Home Economics Club of 1928-29 has twenty-four members who have been willing workers for their club and school. In the fall they served the football banquet, later they had a tea for the mothers and friends of the girls in the group, and early this spring a dinner was served for the Rotary Club members and their wives. The usual Home Economics-Agricultural banquet had to be given up because of the difficulty in obtaining speakers and a suitable date. The club has also made a number of things for the reception room and dining room of the department and hopes to be able to have them completely furnished next year. The goal of the club is to establish a scholarship fund for the girl receiving the highest grades in Home Economics. The members are: Ruth Carter Violet Russell Vena Stier Ella Hammond, President Merla Harsh, Sponsor Ruth Nicholson, Secretary Polly Keith Beatrice West, Treasurer Georgene Walker Catherine Goward Carmine Riker Fern Cool Mary Carter Wilma Relitz Pauline Allen Eleanor Capeling Aileen Allen Neva Stroup Maxiam Schultz Bernice Stone Floy Edwards Mabelle McGeachy Rita Robinet Olga Williams Zola Bird PAGE FORTY-SEVEN Shorthand and Typing Contest The Typewriting and Shorthand Contest was held at Lapeer, April 27, 1929.

Of the 264 teams in the league this year we won a place among the sixteen best. From a squad of nine Marcia Cary, Enoch White and William Boger were selected to represent our school in its Forensic activities this year. After losing the first debate to Caro by a 2-1 decision a unanimous decision was won from Vasscar and Durand and in the fourth debate Lapeer’s old rival, Oxford, was defeated by a 2-1 decision. As a result of these debates Lapeer was chosen as one of the sixty-four schools in the state having the highest number of points and was therefore qualified to debate in the elimination contests. The team was also awarded a wall plaque by the Detroit Free Press. The first two elimination debates were won from Flushing and Port Austin by unanimous decisions by the third one resulted in a 2-1 decision for Armada and thus the debating season ended. Besides these regular league debates the debators took part in a number of practice debates. In their search for material they visited libraries in Flint, Detroit, and the University of Michigan. One member of the debating team, William Boger, represented the school in the sub-district oratorical contest and tied for third place with his oration, America in Aviation.” Our declaimer, Georgene Walker, won second place in the subdistrict declamation contest. PAGE FORTY-NINE The Radio Club The Lapeer High School Radio Club began its fourth year with only eight of its old members back. In spite of this disadvantage, the club has been very successful. The new members have shown much interest and have each constructed a one tube set through the use of a Schematic diagram. The club has completely revised the five tube Browning-Drake receiver and brought it up to 1929 standards. With the new members showing an interest together with their experience this year in building a set, the members plan to make much faster progress in the future. Next year the club hopes to enter into short-wave receiving and transmitting as this is the work that the majority of persons interested in radio are doing. The president, Mr. Hungerford, has constructed a complete transmitting and receiving outfit and although he has not yet obtained an amateur’s license he expects to in the near future. The officers and members are as follows: Robert Hungerford President Owen Laughlin Vice-President Ralph Patten Arthur Cooper Ted Shepherd Kenneth Gardner Norval Smith Earl Harbron Edwin Spaulding Hollis Sanborn Fred Conley Wilbur Younker Walter Taylor Kenneth Harbron PAGE FIFTY The Agricultural Club The Agriculture Club this year was not so successful as it might have been, due to starting late in the school year. But when the first meeting was called to order there were as many present as had attended regularly last year. The The Agriculture Club interests the students who are talcing the agriculture course, but others may join. It works some very interesting experiments and many subjects are discussed in each meeting. The members of the club are: Lyle Jones Fayette Baldwin Howard Werner Ronald Clute Maurice Scrimiger Lyle Goodrich Max Salmond Bernard Gormley Leo Allen PAGE FIFTY-ONE The Art Club In September of 1928 the Art Club began its course in efficient art work. The first meeting was held September 27. Immediately we began a vigorous campaign for raising funds. Our aim, to purchase art pictures for the grades, was successfully carried out by giving the Spring Carnival” March 22. Linder the sponsorship of Mrs. Kay the members have been very loyal and have contributed much of their time and effort to cooperate in carrying out their projects. The social program has been followed by having a Halloween party at Hunter’s Creek Hall and a sleigh ride party with Marian Schultz as hostess. The officers of the club are: Roger Walker, president; Marguerite Tallieu, vice-president, and Myrtle Lucas, secretary-treasurer. The following students are actively interested in the club affairs: Leona Burt Ruth Carter Floy Edwards Hazel Gordon Agnes Knoche Lena Lynch Myrtle Lucas Lillian Nass Alice Patten Clyde Raymond Marian Scholtz Vena Stier Bernice Stone Neva Stroup Elizabeth Sullivan Margaret Sullivan Marguerite Tallieu Roger Walker Evelyn Watson Beatrice West Carl Taylor PAGE FIFTY TWO ✓ i' The Science Club The Science Club was organized in September, 1925. Since then a constitution has been made and revised. This year two groups, the Junior Science Club and the Senior Science Club, were organized because of the large membership. Both clubs are working to enlarge upon, and to make better known the High School Museum. This year the Senior Club is giving honor badges to the three most distinguished members. The club sponsored by Miss Brooker has the following members: Senior Club Pauline Appleman Julia Barber Josephine Beckman Marion Bacon Florence Beattie Norman Carter Ronald Clute Dorothy Cummings George Duncan Ray Eastman Doris Henry Evelyn June Lyle Jones Thelma Knoche Marian Lucas Marguerite Lynk Glee Milliken Erna Nielson Alice Patten Lillian Pratt C.

PAGE FIFTY-FOUR The Stage Crew The Stage Club was organized five years ago, for the purpose of operating scenery and stage equipment for all plays, assemblies and moving pictures. The audience very rarely thinks of the work done by the stage crew.” Little do they realize that the success of the performance often depends on the alertness, accuracy, dependability and frequently the strength of the boys back in the wings,” who have been trained to handle every possible detail necessary to the smooth running of business. It is here that Cooperation Spells Success.” The following are members of the club: W. Bard E. Harbron C. Taylor F. Baldwin L. Jones B. Gormley B. Carpenter A. Jarvis Movie Operators F. Conley R. Nelson J. Roberts R. Eastman C. Patton C. Laughlin K. Gardner N. Smith F. Spencer F. Goodrich A. Stringer L. Inman K. Harbron L. Fleming PAGE FIFTY-FIVE SPORTS The Leland Baird Memorial To perpetuate the memory of one who excelled in both scholarship and athletics at Lapeer High School this silver loving cup was presented by John F. Yaeger in 1924. Every year at graduation time this cup is presented to the best athlete with the highest scholastic standing. It is the greatest honor that may be received by an athlete in this school, and should be the goal of every boy who represents this school in athletics. Five have been awarded the cup thus far: Paul Moon ____________________1924 John D. Donaldson ___________ 1925 Colburn Potter 1926 John Roberts _______________ 1927 James Bentley _______________ 1928 PAGE FIFTY-EIGHT The Kirk White Memorial Another cup which should ever stand in honor of the heroic manner in which one boy played football for Lapeer High School is the Kirk White Memorial Trophy. Each year at the football banquet, the members of the team of 1922, on which Kirk White played, award this trophy to the player who has been most Football In the fall of 1928, a large squad turned out at the call of the coaches, John F. Yaeger and Kenneth Kerr. A few days later the squad was whipped into fighting condition, anxiously awaiting the first game. The team was not made up of large players, but the lack of size was counteracted by speed and aggressiveness. The season is generally considered to be successful, the only defeats being at Saginaw, after a great battle, and at Rochester. As a grand finale to this season, Imlay City was downed by the highest score of recent years. In spite of the fact that she lost only one game in the Tri-County League, Lapeer was rated fourth place. Five Lapeer players were chosen for the all Tri-County Team: John Roberts, Howard Cooper, Wayne Van Wagoner, Linwood Hagemeister and James Bentley. The squad consisted of: James Bentley, Captain Grant Carter Linwood Hagemeister Owen Laughlin Richard Beardsley Floyd Spencer John Roberts Wayne Van Wagoner Paul Dugan Fredolph Fisher Earl Harbron Ralph Patten Richard Bclz Tom Raymond Bill Carpenter Gerald Doclcham Clifford Taylor Benjamin Dunlap Howard Cooper Ted Shepherd William Murray Fayette Baldwin DeVere Lynk Ferris Kerkeu The Lapeer ______________________ 31 Lapeer____________— 13 Lapeer — 13 Lapeer — ---------------------- 25 Lapeer . _ ______________12 Lapeer __ --------------------- 7 Lapeer 12 Lapeer 0 Lapeer___________________________ 20 Record Hadley 6 Vassar___________________________0 Saginaw_________________________19 Richmond________________________ 0 Rochester .--15 St. Michaels____________________ 7 Grand Blanc ____________________ 0 Oxford 0 Imlay City_______________________0 Athletic Board of Control The jurisdiction of the Athletic Board covers the fields supervised by coaches acting independently, and by standing and special committees.

PAGE SIXTY-ONE Boys Basket Ball Close upon the heels of the football season came the first basketball practice. From the world of material a team was formed which finished the season with few defeats, and tied for the Tri-County Championship with Imlay City. In addition to the first team there was the B” squad which lost only one game and won second place in the County League. It was in the middle of the season that Mr. Yaeger resigned and the new coach, Mr. Hutchins, came to fill the position. The Junior High squad this year, under Coach Murray, was the best ever produced. It lost one of the five scheduled games. The first week in March the district tournament representing the D” and C” classes was held here for the fourth consecutive year. It was attended by great crowds of visitors and local people. Lapeer was eliminated in the semifinals. North Branch won the class D” title and St. Michaels of Flint, who also succeeded in winning the Regional Tournament and being runners-up at Detroit, won the class C” title.

In 1928 the Boys Basketball Team brought home the Tri-County Championship. The Track Team won the Tri-County Meet and also the District Meet. The Girls Basketball Team of ’26 won the Thumb Championship. In 1927 the Baseball Team, although handicapped, tied for the County Championship. The Football Team won the Class C State Championship in ’26 and has marched to victory over Imlay City for four years. The team of ’26 also tied Saginaw Eastern. The Leland Baird Memorial Cup and the Kirk White Memorial are proudly exhibited in memory of two of Lapeer High School’s best athletes. Space will not permit enumeration of all the trophies and awards of which the school proudly boasts. PAGE SIXTY-FOUR Base Ball Baseball, although it is not popular with the students of Lapeer, is gradually growing to prominence as a sport. One thing that has served to stimulate student interest in baseball, following the school motto, Athletics for all,” is the interclass baseball schedule. In 1928, Coach Beauchamp developed from the large squad that reported a team which won the majority of the games played.

It has attempted to uphold the spirit of the school by participating in the activities of the same throughout the year. For the first time in its history, it has had the privilege of rehearsing regularly during school hours. The membership has increased considerably. At the present time there are forty-two members. Throughout the year the band has given assembly programs. Some were given by the entire band while others were given by ensembles composed of band members. These ensembles have been called on a great deal to assist in programs at the churches, at social functions in the city, and at the school as well. The band played at all the football games and most of the basketball games this year. Following the basketball season it gave concerts at Otter Lake and Lum. These concerts gave the people of the county a chance to hear the band and also gave us a source for earning money. As a result, the band has secured a number of new instruments. Preparing for and entering the State Band Contest, which was held at East Lansing May second and third, was the band’s most interesting project. Before the contest the School Board presented the band with capes. This is the greatest reward that the band has ever received and we wish to extend our appreciation for the same. The band is justly proud of its director, Mr. Weidemaier, and under his capable leadership it has made a very noticable improvement. Mr. Torrey, private instructor, has taken a great interest in the welfare of the band. Both have done a great deal to make the band the successful organization that it is today.

The importance of this organization cannot easily be overlooked. The success of the Senior Band depends largely upon the interest in the Junior Band, for out of the good raw material usually comes the best product. The members of the band, as a whole, under the leadership of Mr. Weidimaier, feel that their progress this year is more marked than that of the years before. They have played in a few assemblies and are putting in an hour’s practice every day at home. The regular meeting occurs on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:00 to 5:00 P. M.

Cooper: No, this is one of my off seasons.” and Yon Here’s where I cut the young dog off without a cent,” chuckled Brier Rabbit, as he jumped across a stream. You’ll have to hand it to him!” remarked the football fan as Art Cooper dropped a forward pass. She laid the still, white form beside those that had gone before. No groan no sign from her.
