There was much shouting and yelling but it was decided we wanted a firm class advisor, as we wanted to start out on the right foot, so Mr. Arnott was elected. Some confused and uproarious minutes later the class officers had been elected: Bob Busch, president: Dorothy Artis, vice-presidentg David Quinn, Treasurer: and Claire Elsey, secretary. The honor of representing the fresh- men in the Student Council was given to Florence Heath and Ed Schten. After being trampled by the Sophomores and exhibited before the whole school, we were officially freshmen. In February, to celebrate the opening of the Ross Theater, we had a class party. After a pot luck dinner at the school we attended the first picture of the new theater. As freshmen we were too busy with our studies to sponsor any high school parties, how- ever, we attended most of the parties that were sponsored by the other classes. We celebrated the end of our freshman year by our annual school picnic at Gravel Lake. SOPHOMORE YEAR Upon returning the next fall as sophomores, Miss Lawhun was chosen as the lucky one to be our class advisor. With a little more order than was demonstrated in our Freshman year, Claire Elsey was elected as president, Jack Harris, vice-presidentg Lois Ann Cree, secretary, and Russell Morlan, treasurer. Again Florence Heath and Ed Schten were the chosen ones to represent our class in the Student Council. We discovered our class had lost four members: Betty Brown, Roger Smith, Vernon Schmidtendorff, Margaret Taylor and gained two new members, Lois Ann Cree, and Iona Farquhar. The first item on the calendar for our Sophomore year was to humble the cocky fresh- men, but we showed a little compassion towards them by giving a combined freshmen and sophomore party on the night of initiation. The next event was the annual Christrnas party, for which we and the Juniors combined forces and matched wits. It was a very nice party with a cotton snow man and a multi-colored ceiling. An experience we all remember is our serving at the Junior-Senior banquet. Wonder- ously there was no soup spilled down anybody's neck. The last event was the annual picnic at Gravel Lake. JUNIOR YEAR We returned to M. H. S. to take up our studies and activities much wiser and worldly as Juniors. At our first class meeting, which was conducted in a most parliamentry manner, Mr. Hungerford was selected as our class advisor. The class officers were: Russell Morlan, president, Iona Farquar, vice-president: Florence Heath, treasurer, and Evelyn Ritter, Sec- retary. Roger Anderson and Dorothy Artis were elected as Student Council representatives. Our class was one member smalle,r than the preceding year. Bob Busch had joined the Armed forces. Our 'first major undertaking of the year was a skating party at the Three Rivers Roller- skating rink, exclusively to Marcellians. Although there were quite a few black and blue r 'r :Wai . -,E , -1 tying! 3 1 HIS al' fi 'G - '33 1 M1 3. 5 9123 'ily' 3 :,l1'A' 5- .

The next event was the traditional Christmas party, which was given with the helping hand of Miss Mason and her Sophomores. The party was complete with sparkling snow- flakes, Christmas trees, games and a real, honest to goodness Santa Claus. It was a huge success. Soon after we returned from our Christmas vacation, we turned our efforts toward the Junior Play. Under the able direction of Miss Mason, we produced a hilarious comedy, Here Comes Charley on March 21, 1947. When the play was accomplished, the Junior-Senior prom was in the spotlight and all our thoughts were diverted in that direction. After much discussion a banquet was decided against. The Senior were rather indignant about it but we promised them a very lovely prom Our theme was Moonlight and Roses . Many eighth hours were spent in Mr. H's room making paper roses. The false ceiling was blue crepe paper, while the false walls were made of white crepe paper and sprinkled with red, pink and white roses. A grass carpet fell from the stage to the dance floor on which roses were pinned to spell out the words J-HOP. While we danced, our roses were slowly disappearing as souvenirs. We closed our Junior year by having the honor of walking with the Seniors at Baccalaureate. SENIOR YEAR For the last tirne we- began a school year at M. H. S. on September 2, 1947. We again choose Mr. Hungerford as our class advisor. Ed Schten was elected president: Eugene Beadle, vice-president: Evelyn Ritter, secretaryg and Juanita Hagan, treasurer. Nothing need be said of our class order, naturally it was perfection itself. Our class had dwindled from nineteen to fourteen members, since our Junior year. The members gone were: Jeanette Hulme, Florence Heath, Iona Farquhar, David Quinn and Lowell Drake. We had much to accomplish this year and we commenced with our Senior Play and Christrnas cards. We were very busy canvassing the town with Christmas cards and prac- ticing for our play, but we managed, with the help of Miss Elliott, Mr. Jensen, and Mr. Hungerford, to produce Plain Jane on schedule November the twenty-first. It was proven to be a great success. We also sold two hundred and seventy four boxes of Christrnas cards. We did not rest, however, when this was accomplished our next objective was our year- book, that was going to press in March and our bake sale in the month of February. On March tenth we sponsored an ice-cream social to help finance our Senior trip. For our Senior trip we chose a three day excursion to Mackinac Island aboard the S. S. Greater Detroit. On Friday, May 28, we drove to Chicago, where we boarded the ship to begin our three day cruise. The following day we arrived at Mackinac Island and had the afternoon to spend exploring the many points of interest. That night aboard the ship, there was dancing by moonlight, amateur shows, and other forms of entertainrnent. Sunday morning found us back in Chicago with the afternoon off to spend in sight-seeing there. Our Baccalaureate excercises were held Sunday, May 23, 1948, and our diplomas were issued to us Thursday, May 27, at the Hudson Memorial Building. And so ended our happy carefree days of high school, but just beginning, was the ad- ventures of our life ahead. un mn uni-:1mu1n1 .. 6 ----W----D-4 E A-G... ....L...r GLEE CLUB JUNIOR CLASS ul7a4xn1gvqm-14 nufaiiulxxhvni JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY After the shouting had been quieted from our first class meeting as freshmen, we discovered that we had elected Maybell Rieff, president, Jerry Adams, vice-presidentg Leo Schmidt, secretary, Merle Haas, treas- urerg Doris Weaver and Donald Kirby, Student Council representativesg and Mrs. Kirby as advisor. After being thoroughly punished by the venge- ful sophomores, we managed to put on an Easter Dance. As Sophomores we elected Miss Mason as class advisor and Frances Zaleski, June McNeal, Doris Weaver, and Lynn Shoemaker as president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer respectively. .Terry Adams and Ellen Weirich were elected as Student Council representatives. We in turn punished the freshmen one October night at the Community Building. We joined forces with the juniors to go caroling and to put on the Christmas Dance, which was called the Sno-Ball . When the election smoke cleared away last September, the boys found that they had finally won out with Jerry Adams as president and Leo Schmidt as vice-president. Joan Gyllstrom and Mary Rumsey were elected secretary and treasurer respectively. Joyce Jensen and Willard Robinson were chosen to represent our class in the Student Council with Miss Elliott elected as class advisor. The S64 question at our first regular class meeting was how were we to make money? It was finally decided we would sell coke at the football, basketball and baseball games. Everyone thought that it was a good idea, but few wanted to haul the stuff around or sell it. With the help of the sophomores, we sponsored the Christmas Dance, Winter Wonderland , which for the first tirne we had an orchestra. We also sponsored a Valentine Party in February. We have positive proof that the Junior class has the best cherry pie makers in school, since June McNeal, Sally Bainbridge, and Joyce Jensen came in first, second, and third in the school pie making contest. We were well represented in the county contest for June and Sally won second and third place in Dowagiac. During the year we lost Jean Wi.nter and David Landis, which left us the total of twenty-two members. The Junior class showed its pep as its members were found strongly represented in all the sporting and musical activities. As the Annual goes to press, preparations for the Junior Play, The Late Mr. Early , are far advanced and plans are being made for a success- ful Prom. 1 GUQQH SOPHOMORE CLASS ? 'ft FRESHMAN CLASS Qfifxh 4- fl' - . ii ,,,. ,f A s 4- nf SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1946 the school doors were opened to a group of young and green freshmen, which was now to start an experience in education that would last for four years. The class started by Choosing Miss Lawhun as its class advisor and as president, Marion Willisg vice-president, Martha Bainbridgeg secretary, Shirley Hagan, treasurer, Annabelle Thornburghg and Student Council representatives, Joan Waltz and Terry Quinn. The class of 50 finished the year by rejoicing at the fact that we were to be sophomores. The next fall the doors were now opened to us as sophomores, in fact twenty-five of us. The new class members were Ruth Brown, Lillian Zimmick, Gene Hartman, Richard Wyman, and James Snyder. During the past year we had lost Katherine Keller, Lejune Balog, Ellen Bent, and Charles Stell. As our class advisor for the present year, we chose Mr. Timm. Our class officers were president, Martha Bainbridge, vice-president, Bernadeen Swartz, secretary and treasurer, Lyle Mikel. Our representatives chosen for Student Council were Shirley Hagen and John Poulsen. With our help, the Juniors put on a very successful Christmas party. We then looked towards our class funds and thought they should be increased, so we put our heads together and decided to sell assorted cards which helped out in the job very nicely. Our class was well represented in the musical and sports fields. Thus ends the second chapter of colorful history of the class of 50 . pnlummvvm- ummm r-um wp-,,e - .,41.,,-- I., zu.

We selected Mrs. Kirby as our class advisor. Our officers were chosen at our first class meeting. For president, we elected Bill Bentg vice-president, Duane Rumseyg secretary, Joan Harris, treasurer, Elwyn Shugarsg Student Council representatives, Floyd Hering and Aurieta Wright. The traditional initiation came around in a few weeks and we were duly embarrassed and started on our way through high school. We sponsored a box social and twice as many boys attended as girls, so we came to the conclusion that the girls were a little shy. After the social, the freshmen put on a pantomime entitled The Ghost Walks . During the winter, when the weather was ideal for it, we had a sleigh ride and everybody had a good time. To further our finances a bit, we sold greeting cards. On April Z we invited the High School to drag out their old clothes and attend our Hard Times Party . -Wy s sw ' 545 f-W 'A f I .'f. n ,ima , ,J 44 V' we .gff F3 gf! x 5 fr . F h ,, .W E,, 5?

The team was greatly improved over last year's. Only two of last year's first stringers were lost. Due to the large number of men out for the sport the first string squad was increased to nine. The highlights of the year were the 62-Z3 win over Gobles and the 33-Z5 win over Climax, in which the Wildcats over came a 10 point Climax lead and went on to victory. ' The individual point totals for the year were as follows: Schmidt 136 points Skidmore 131 Kirby 77 Harris 46 Morlan 38 Schten 24 Rirnes 17 Poulson 10 Quinn 9 Dec.

They retained only two members of last year's squad. The freshmen, who came out for the team, advanced rapidly and by the end of the season no way resembled the raw youngsters, who had had their first taste of High School Basketball in November. The scoring totals for the regulars were as follows: Adams--79 Anderson--45 Harris--Z5 Robinson--Z0 Breseman--19 Beadle--10 FOOTBALL Marcellus again played six-man football this season. Due to the recurrence of the .injury he received last year, Chuck Skidmore had to discontinue his football after playing the first game. Bud Rimes filled in the quarterback position quite capably after this set back. The remaining starting line-up was as follows: Bob Hibbard and .Tack Harris, who alternated between halfback and endg Don Kirby, half- backg .Tack Hunt, center, and Leo Schmidt, end. The following boys were played as substitutions, Jirn Hunt, Bill Harris, Kenneth Artis, Duane Rumsey, Leroy Tirnrn, Terry Quinn, John Pletcher, and John Poulsen. Sept, 19 Marcellus Schoolc raft Sept.

This success was due to the fine guidance and coaching of Mrs. Jensen, and the undying spirit of the girls participating in the sport. The Kittens started their well played season with three tough wins over Bloomingdale, Edwardsburgh, and Climax, and finished with two more wins played in return games with Bloomingdale and Edwardsburgh. The only defeat suffered by the team was against Clirnax at Scotts and two practice games with Schoolcraft. The eight girls making up the team were as follows: Forwards, Lois Ann Cree, Frances Zaleski, Sally Bainbridge, and Martha Bainbridge, Guards, Jeanette Parmeter, Jean Williams, Joyce Jensen, and Juanita Hagan. The remaining girls of the squad were June McNeal, Shirley Hagan, Doris Weaver, and Viola Schoetzow. Frances Zaleski was high point for the year with eighty-seven points to her credit and was followed by Sally Bainbridge, who had racked up sixty-four points in the season. CHEERLEADERS This year's cheerleaders did a good job in keeping the crowd and team out with a high fighting spirit. The students are not always conscious of the hard efforts the cheerleaders must make to have a successful season. So it is hats-off to the peppy cheerleaders who planned and led all pep meetirigs held during the year, which included skits, pep talks, and new yells and routines: Lois Ann Cree, Frances Zaleski, June McNeal, Sally Bainbridge and Martha Bainbridge.

Matters are made funnier and more complicated by the fact that Brant Coleman fEugenel is married to Jenny Coleman QLois Ann Creej, the gold-digging maid. Parsons QBob I-Iibbardj doesn't know about this marriage and chases Jenny all through the play. Ellen Ryan QEvelyn Ritterj, the Irish cook, tries to influence Aunt Emma in favor of Rolfe Marsden CEd Schtenl. Howard Hack, is encouraged by his affectionate and ambitious mother fVaretta Copenhaverj. Brant's father, Clayton CChuck Skidmorej wants Brant to marry Jane but when he finds out about Jenny, he tries to buy her off. Rolfe finally gets the girl and everything comes out all right. x A4 ' 9 S x L x Ui,- TNIWBQ fi: ek QQ' w 5 + 2 L ' ' uf 'sbs Q , iw g . , , , , ' 'L , .QQ 1 , , ..A. ! Q 2 .Q .an .1 f .i .

No, not to see Santa Claus. He is on strike ever since Roger Anderson invented the Bouncy Bunny . This new toy znakes kiddies so happy that they bust their three-cornered pants four ways. We zoom out there in ten minutes in the 1958 rocket plane which is one of the many articles manu- factured in the factories of the fabulously rich Russell Morlan, who, reportedly, paid one third of the government's total expenses last year. He was quoted as saying, I would have had to pay it in income tax anyway. Here we are at Jack Harris' Tropical Ranch. The famous physicist, Juanita Hagan, discovered a way to tap the inner heat of the earth, so Jack Harris spent a few of the millions he had made in his world-wide mortuary chain. As we circle the ranch by air we see basking at the pool, Chuck Skidmore, quarterback and part owner of the World Champion Detroit Lions. Near him in a sun chair is La Verne Cremone, none other than Lois Ann Cree, the movie queen. Near her is Dorothy Artis, who invented the typo1ine regis ter , the business machine that has given secretaries up '-' -19 11,0 'L X fx 5 'N '1 Q3-Q a ,H L 'ri Qu , .V 9.

Off to the left a bit is Eugene Beadle with three of his five children. While directing the American Farm Bureau, Eugene bought one of the Utypoline registers for his secretary. Well, things happen fast. As we land we are met by Varetta Copenhaver, whose epic singing commercial for Sousy Dousy soap flakes was recently played in Carnegie Hall under the direction of the great conductor, Evelyn Ritter. Coming up from the rear are Bob I-Iibbard and Ed Schten, the greatest baseball battery of our tirnes. Later on we meet the remaining two guests of the fourteen whom .Tack has invited to his place for a week-long reunion. Claire Elsey and Pearl Smith who go under the trade name of Coil and Poi.1 run through one of their routines to get our reactions and we can see why they have been called the most famous comedy team since Max Baer and Slapsy Maxy Rosenbloom. Altogether it looks like there is a very enjoyable time in store for everybody. gl Q WILL OF THE CLASS OF 1948 We, the class of 194-8 of Marcellus High School, in fourteen individual and distinct parts, being about to pass out of the sphere of education, in full possession of a cramme ed mind, well trained memory, and almost superhuman understanding, hereby, herewith and heretofore declare this to be our last will and testament. We do, individually, bequeath the following: l, Roger AhCl91'S0n. leave my pleasing personality to Marian Willis. l, Dorothy Artis, leave my quiet way to Terry Quinn.

I, Claire Elsey, leave my excess pounds to Doris jean Weaver. l, juanita Hagan, leave my extraordinary typing speed and accuracy to june McNeal. l, jack Harris, leave my way with the women to Leroy Timm.

To our beloved Superintendent, Oliver H. Jensen, our sincere affection, our deepest reverence, our heartiest gratitude, and the whole unlimited wealth of our eternal memory. To the Marcellus High School, as a whole, our beautiful and inspiring picture. May it hang forever on the dear old wall. To Miss Lawhun, the balance of our class treasury, to be used in buying a magnifying glass, for inspecting the typewriting machine for any defects and dirt. To the Junior class, our Senior dignity. May they uphold it forever, with all serious- ness and gravity, endeavoring to realize its vast importance, in spite of their natural light- mindedness and irresponsibility. . To the Sophomore class, our firm friendship and understanding with the teachers. We hope they will always value it as highly as we have. To the Freshmen class, any stubs of pencils, erasers or scraps of paper that we may forgetfully leave behind us in the rush of gathering up our cherished treasures for the last time. To our class advisor, Mr. Hungerford, the profound admiration and ever-enduring friendship of the Class of 1948. Last comes the one thing hard for us to part with to our successors. We must leave our places in the hearts and thoughts of our Superintendent and teachers. They will love them, unworthy as we feel they are, even as they have loved USG they will Shvw them all the same tender kindness and attention that they have bestowed upon us and feel the same interest in their attempts and successes. We trust the Class of 1949 will appreciate all this as deeply as we have. T0 this document, we, the above said Senior Class of Marcellus High School, do here by attach our seal, on this twenty-seventh day of May, in the year of our Lord, one thous and, nine hundred and forty-eight.
