We know through our high school years we have no been the brightest class in school and at times the going has be m rather rough. We have added many gray hairs to the heads of the faculty and have caused a lot of worry and wonder, but we managed to get through somehow, and here we are on the verge of graduation. It s been a tough grind, but we finally made it, although not without the help of others. The faculty, school board and townspeople have all done a grand job in helping us along, and we wish to thank them. We sincerely hope that, somehow, we may be able tc do as much for future students as has been done for us. 5 tt Elder.

The Marine City Football Team, otherwise known as the Wildcats, came out on top this year for the first time in eighteen seasons, and became the St. Clair County Champions, a title they well deserved. In 1940, it will be recalled that the Mariners lost the championship in that vital game with St. Stephens by a close margin. This year they walked over practically all comers, being trained to win by their coach, Mr. Catt, and the line-coack, Mr. Gingrich. The Wildcats first game was played with an out-of-county school. New Haven, here in Marine City at Ward Cottrell Park. Before this game the Wildcats had been beaten by New Haven each year of the four they had been playing. New Haven scored only once in this game, that being in the first quarter. After this DeCou took the ball over for a touchdown twice in succession, and Arnold also earned one during the last quarter. The final score was Marine City, 18; New Haven, 6. On September 28 the Mariners played another out-of-county game at Oxford with the Oxford High School. The Mariners scored their first and only touchdown in the first quarter. The second quarter Oxford scored thirteen points, and in the last half they scored six more giving them the victory, 31-6.

(Continued on page 20 ) 19 FOOTBALL (concluded) Marine City’s first county game was witn laie on October 3. Neither team scored during the first quarter, but in the second, Flemming took the ball over on an end-run play for a touchdown. Lyons made the extra point with a placement kick. There was no scoring by either team in the third quarter. In the fourth Yale made 13 points, making their progress mainly by a series of end-run plays. With a score of 13-7, this was the only game the Wildcats lost in county competition. St. Clair, Marine City’s age-old rival, was the first to go down be- fore the Wildcats in a county game. With no score furing the first half, the Wildcats cooked up a touchdown by an over-the-goal -1 ine pass in the third and another by DeCou in the fourth. Score 12-0. For the first time in the lives of the Wildcats, they played under lights in a game with St. Stephens on October 15. This was a very close game, both teams about equally matched. Although handicapped by being unused to playing at night under lights, the Wildcats won with a score of 20-12. Marysville, on October 24, faced the same fate as St. Clair and St. Stephens. With the first quarter scoreless, Marysville in the second quarter received a punt and took the ball over for a touchdown. No score again in the third, but in the fourth Arnold received a punt and ran it over for a touchdown. Lyons made a good kick for the extra point. This put the Wildcats in the lead which they held until the end of the game. Final score 7-6. Algonac was the last game on October 31. As usual, whenever was had played a home game, it was a rainy day. This wetness, however, did not stop our DeCou When the score was tied at 6-6, and a fine rain was falling, he plunged desperately across Algonac’ s goal with the winning touchdown. The final score was 12-6. That was the game that made Marine City the new County Champions. Marine City received the trophy from St. Stephens, the school that won it last year. The Wildcats won four and lost one county game. Yale, the runner-up, won three, lost one, and tied one. DeCou, Flemming, Arnold, and Barber received special mention for being an excellent backfield, while players such as L u tz, Bassett, Beattie, Britz, Elder, and Lyons did an excellent job on the line. BASKETBALL (concluded) DeCou, with three returning letter winners - Jim Beattie, Clayton Flemming, and Don Browning - took the floor against Marysville to open the league race. The pressure of being County Champions proved too much for the boys in the early stages of the season because the Wildcats went down to defeat at the hands of Marysville, Algonac, Yale, and St. Clair losing four of their first six games, but winning over Richmond and St. Stephens • Injuries beset some of the regulars at this time, and it was necessary to advance Ralph Mocock to a regular guard position and shift Flemming to a forward. This proved to be the spark needed as the Wildcats went on to win over Holy Cross, Marysville, Algonac, Richmond, Yale, St. Stephens, St„ Clair and Memphis to finish the season as Co-County Champions. This gave them a column of ten victories and four defeats for the season’s play. The outstanding achievement of the year wa 3 the defeat handed St. Clair in the championship game by the score of 26 to 17. Jay DeCou was high scorer of the year. Clayton Flemming turned in some exceptional work at forward to stamp himself as one of the best players to wear the orange and black for Marine City High. Mocock and Arnold did a fine job on defense. Nichol and Browning held down the other forward position in grand style. Other letter winners who played their parts well are: Ed Van Zant, James McKay, Wilfred Cohrs and Jack Barber. With McKay, Booth Van Zant and Mocock back for another year, we have high hopes of a very haonv season in 1942-1943. 20 Front Row: Wilber Smith, Lawrence Taylor, Roy Dawn, Walter Smith, John Holland Second Row: Lewis Lozon, Dale Lelchty, Fred Schneider, Lawrence DeCou, Linus Llebaert, Mr. Gingrich. The little Kittens had a specially good year this year in basket ball by defeating Algonac four times and losing none. In the class tournaments they beat the seventh grade in their first game. After the seniors defeated the Juniors, the Kittens triumphed over them 39 to 27. , . , Dawn was high point man, making 38 points against Algonac, and 24 in the tournament. The second team won 3 and lost 1 in its series. Mr. Gingrich was their coach, and he did a fine job coaching them to victory. First Team Second Team L. DeCou J. Holland F. Schneider R. Dawn L.

The Marine City High School Track Team has finished one of the most successful seasons In the history of the school. Coach Pflngst took over the helm In 1938, and since that time his teams have won 14 duel meets and lost 5. This year the team came through to win the county championship out- scoring Algonac, the second place team, 95 to 29. Marine City won their second successive regional track championship in Femdale. DeCou won four first places. Other place winners were Valla, Sayers, Flemming, Mocock, Boulller, H. Hlntzman, Basney, Bean, Nichol, Jenkins, Klein, Audette, Elder, and Cohrs. In the River Rouge Invitational Meet at Ann Arbor — DeCou, Nichol, Boulller, Mocock, and Bean made a fine showing. At the Central Michigan Relays at Mt. Pleasant, Marine City took a second place from a field of twenty-three schools. DeCou set an all class state record In the pole vault of 11«7 , and the mile relay team of Flemming, Basney, Mocock and Sayers set a record In the fast time the state Meet at Lansing, Marine City took a third place with Imlay City and randvllle ahead of them. Jay DeCou set a state record in the pole vault at ll 7j . Other point winners In the State Meet were: Bean, Sayers, Flemming, and Valla.

This is the highest of honors to be given to a student in high school. The present membership of the Society is forty- two girls, and twenty-seven boys Merle Scheibner 21 SPEECH Mr. R. Beauchamp, Scott Elder, Mary Sue Wesbrook, Robert Bean RESOLVED”: That every able-bodied male citizen in the United States should be required to have one year of full-time military training before attaining our present draft age. The above was the question discussed this season throughout the various schools in the debating league, and, due to history-making events that happened in such rapid succession, the issue proved to be a very difficult one for debating before the schedule was completed. Our first encounter was with the St. Clair Shores team, who won the decision. However, our visit to Cranbrook School, Bloomfield Hills, proved a glorious victory for the home team as the opponents previously had a record of being practically unbeatable. Our last discussion was with the Rochester High team, where we lost by only a slight margin. Although two remaining debates were scheduled, it was considered advisable by some of the schools competing to cancel the future dates, due to war conditions. Our local team consisted of Coach Mr. Robert Beauchamp, Robert Bean, Scott Elder, and Mary Sue Wesbrook.

The fifty-five mixed voices of our Marine City High School Glee Club, under the fine direction of Miss Ardath Johnson, have had a very full schedule this year. One of the high points of this year was their Christmas Pageant, directed by Miss Johnson and Mr. Beauchamp, Another outstanding event was the Voice Festival given in Port Huron April 21, Eight Glee Clubs, about seven hundred students, from St, Clair County combined under the direction of a well-known musician. This year the guest conductor was Harold Tallman, of Wayne University, During the year the Glee Club students have given concerts for the Tuesday Musical, the Lions Club, and the Rotary Club. In May they gave a Spring Concert in which every one was invited to attend. They also supplied all music for the commencement exercises.

Teachout The Girls Athletic Association was started in 1939 under the direction of Miss Doris Teachout. It is a self-supporting organization in which each girl contributes monthly dues to pay for the awards. It was started because the girls had no opportunity to earn letters and trophies for their efforts. A point system was organized to enable girls to receive points thoughout the year by participating in gym classes, tournaments, volley ball, basketball, baseball and bowling. The juniors and seniors have the same opportunity as the seventh, eighth, ninth, and the tenth grades. The Girls Athletic Association sponsors the following activities: Kopper Kanters, May Day Dance, All Tournaments, Cheer Leaders, and the Banquet which is held at the end of the school year to present the awards. 32 VARSITY CLUB President Vice-Fresident Secretary- Treasurer Jack Barber Clayton Flemming Donald Newell Front How: Floyd Lyons, Donald Bassett, Jack Barber, Clayton Flemming, Donald Newell, Jay DeCou Second How: David Barringer, Alvin Goulette, Marvin Hintzman, Brenwood Arnold, Fred Meyer, Mr. R.

The Log Staff is made up of high school students who are interested in writing and journalistic work. These students, together with their advisors, are largely responsible for the work and output of the by- monthly Log . For the last three years the Log has been successful, and heartily enjoyed by the students, faculty and alumni of Marine City High School. This year the Log has been improved by new additions and pictures. Many of these improvments are due to the help given by numerous merchants and individuals through their subscriptions and advertising. We hope this important enterprise shall continue to be a permanent factor in our school s activities. 36 TIP-TOPPERS Leader Mrs. G. Hazlitt President Mary Smith Secretary- Treasurer Arlene Hoshal Front Row: Mrs. G. Hazlitt, Mary Smith, Gloria Garlock, Betty Lou Christy Second Row: Mary Lou Fast, Corrine Frothingham, Wilma Phillips, Rose Mary Walton, Arlene Hoahal, Myrtle Erdbecker, Marilyn Lara. The Tip-Toppers is a club organized by seventeen girls of the Sophomore class. This club was organized because of the lack of any Sophomore girls’ club, and it would not have been possible without the able assistance or Mrs. Hazlitt, sponsor of the club. The aim of the club is to reach the top. The club has been organized since November, and during that time they have had three parties — Christmas, Hallowe’en, and a box social. The Tip-Toppers have not had a very active part in school activi- ties, but it is evident that in the following years they will contri- bute to the betterment of their club, and in so doing, help the school as well.

The December meeting of the club was a Christmas dinner entertaining the Board of Education. In June a dinner was given honoring Superintendent Floyd Boughner who retired after seventeen years of service in our schools. 37 ( 2 . alendai IQ4I 42 September - 3- tt 19- if 26- October 3- w 9- if 10- w 15- m 24- tt 31- November 4- tf 7- ti 17- tt 18- if 19- tt 20- tt 28- December 5- tt 12- tt 16- it 19- tt 24- January 5- tt 9- tt 12- tt 16- n 20- tt 23- tr 28- tt 29- February 3- « 5- tt 6- tt 13- tt 17- tt 20 tt 24 March 5- tt 9 n 13 tt 20 tt 25 tt 27 tt 30 •School opened •Football - New Haven (here) All Hi-Dance sponsored bv Student Council •Football - Oxford (there) •Football - ' Yale (there) •Lyceum Program •Football - St. Clair (here) Hi-Y Girls Dance •Football - St. Stephens (there) •Football - Marysville (there) Sodality Dance -Football - Algonac (here) Senior Hallowe en Dance -Mrs. Wilson - Red Cross -Varsity Dance -Co-Athletic Meeting at Marysville -Lyceum Program -Hi-Y Dance -Thanksgiving Vacation begins -Junior Dance -Dasketball - Marysville (here) Sophomore Dance -Basketball - Algonac (there) -Basketball - Richmond, (there) -Senior Dance -Christmas Vacation -School begins second semester -Basketball - Yale (here) -Athletic Banquet -Basketball - St. Stephens (here) Senior Dance -Basketball - St. Clair (there) -Basketball - Holy Cross Holy Cross G.A.A.
