Marine City High School - Mariner Yearbook (Marine City, MI)

Text from Pages 1 - 52 of the 1943 volume:

MARINE CITY PUBLIC SCHOOLS MARINE CITY, MICHIGAN e die at Lon It is fitting and proper that the 1943 Annual be dedicated to our young men and no men in the service of their country. At the time of this writing the Public Schools of Marine City have one hundred and fifty former students in the armed forces. We also have several young men on the high seas sailing with the United States Merchant Marine. As we pay tribute to the young men and women who have left their homes, families and Jobs to serve their country, we might pause to reflect on the heritage they are so valiantly defending. We in the United States do not seek to impose our political, social or economic beliefs upon any other people, state or nation. We do insist however, on our right to defend those principles upon which our country was founded and developed. It is no empty statement that the philosophy of the Axis Powers is contrary to all that the United States stands for or will stand for in the future. Prom the Declaration of Independence to the Pour Freedoms the United States has constantly striven to protect the individual and minority groups. This principle has been a magnet to millions of downtrodden peoples of the Old World. Our Democracy is not perfect. We have made mistakes and probably will make many more in our efforts to build a nation based on freedom from want and fear, together with freedom of speech and religion. We want our country to be a place where the individual is free to develop his lawful talents to the greatest degree and to receive all possible encouragement to do so. We want our country to be a place where governmental restraint is at a minimum because the individual recognizes and assumes his obligations to society. We want our country to be a place where the competitive process in every field of human endeavour, professions, trades or government elevates the most capable man or woman to the top. Above all we want recognition given to the human rights and values of every individual or group, race or creed. Our country has a long, hard path to travel before we can hope to realize the many benefits to be derived from a society based on the above principles. However, we reaffirm them in the face of our enemies and gladly go forth to defend our beliefs against the foe. To the young men and women in the armed forces, the Board of Education, Faculty and Student Body of Marine City High School dedicate this volume and pray to Divine Providence to bring them safely home.

Armsbury, President Henry Lawrence, Vice-President Carl Smith, Trustee It is, I think, a great privilege that once a year we can offer to this community a life picture of high school activities. No institution can stand still in a moving world, and as v e cannot live in our dreams, we are lucky enough if we can give a sample of our best, if in our hearts we feel that it has been nobly done. The tie that binds, unites us with our youth and as work is our divine opportunity, this modest volume is presented as a token of the energy, ability, and enthusiasm of our young people, made possible by an earnest and thought- ful faculty.

New rules and regulations always prove to be confusing but were made clear by our ever helpful advisors. Our class officers were: President Pat Byrne Vice President Marion Densmore Secretary Herbert Robb Treasurer Jack Arnold Student Council Shirley Wood In our Sophomore year we were looking into the future and starting to work and plan for the day we were to be SENIORS. That year we gave several dances, with our Victory Dance celebrating the defeat of the St. Clair team in a county football game. Our first bake sales were also given during the year and proved to be quite successful. Those who led our class were: President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Student Council Clinton Shaw Shirley Wood Tom Corden James McKay Shirley Hart Soon came our Junior year with activities planned and running along smoothly. Then came the fatal December seventh! This caused a great change in our classes and social schedule. There was considerable debating about the annual J-Hop, which was finally given with grand re- sults, both socially and financially. Our year was made complete by giv- ing the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. Officers elected to head the class for that year were: President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Student Council Tom Corden Bob Cooper Marlon Densmore Loren Feagan Our Senior year at last! I! - and the year for which our class had anxiously awaited. We elected our officers at the close of our Junior year, so that we could get started toward earning funds for the many Senior activities scheduled, especially our Senior trip. The officers elected were: President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Student Council Jean DeLisle James Galvin Shirley Hart Ralph Mocock Mary Sue V esbrook 13 From the very beginning our class has been successful in all its undertakings, and this year has been no exception. The Hallowe’en Dance, v ith its witches and goblins, and the Mistletoe Dance, with REAL mistle- toe, were highly successllil, both socially and financially. During our moments of relaxation we have been busy selling magazine subscriptions and Christmas cards. Y:e also had several after-game dances and sold hot- dogs at football games. Our greatest events of this year have been the Senior Class Play, The Mad March Heirs , directed by Miss Purdy, Mrs. Wiltse and Mr. Pfingst, this being followed by our annual Carnival with all its rollicking merriment. The cast, directors, and student directors were invited to present the play to entertain the Detroit Edison Company men at their banquet in Port Huron This performance has added new laurels to our class. Through the four years of high school, we have had many outstanding athletes in such sports as football, basketball, and track Those who have earned letters are r Ralph Mocock, Edward VanZandt, James McKay, Harold Basney, Charles Anderson, Harvey Booth, James Galvin, Jack Arnold, and Willi an DeShon The cheerleaders representing the Seniors are Bernadette McDonald and Alvin Goulette, both having earned letters also Our choice of class colors : maroon and white. Our flower: the white rose. Although we are graduating from high school, we are all seek- ing new fields to conquer. Most of the boys will enter the Service and possibly a few of the girls. Our selection as a class motto is clearly understood and appropriate - Not finished, just beginning .

Many new worth-while projects have been introduced this year, such as: the Monitor system, which keeps an accurate check on the where- abouts of students during school session; the first social event of the terra. The Student SWIRL, a get- acquainted dance; our joint meeting with the Student Council at Port Huron Hi; establishing specific rules for ninth hour; the erection of a booth for the sale of Defense Stamps; an Honor Roll dedicated to friends and classmates in the Service, and a Popularity Contest, designed to increase our contribution to the Red Cross Attractive pins are being worn by the members for the first time since this student governing body was formed in our high school Yes, the Student Council plays an important part in our school life, and to those who carry on the fine principles it represents, we wish continued success M.

To elevate these objectives and hold them ever before the school as goals toward which all should strive, is the purpose of this Society. Our aim shall be to hold before the school such motives as shall induce others to aspire to scholarly habits, enlist- ing in worthy service and leading forward in all things that shall advance the welfare of the school. Each year a certain number of students from the eleventh and twelfth grades, who have been outstanding in scholarship, character, leader- ship and service, are nominated for election into the local chapter of this national organization. The Junior and Senior classes, as well as the Fac- ulty, vote on these candidates and to be chosen for membership is the high- est honor that can be awarded a Junior or Senior student in high school.

Catt To the readers of the Mariner fbr 1943: A custom, long neglected, is now revived, namely that of addressing a personal message from the Faculty Advisor of the publication to the possessors of the yearbook. In this case, I speak for the entire Mariner Staff. About the book itself: We are offering to you in these pages a. new ideal. Our conception of the task now completed has been this; to give you a record of the past school year free from all conventionality -- a book that looks past today into the future. How far we have succeeded in approximating this ideal is for you to judge, as the book and its future are yours. To the Staff: My sincerest thanks and appreciation. The Staff this year being extremely small, placed exceptional burdens on the shoulders of Mary Sue Wesbrook, Dorothy Scott, Betty Pearson, Irene Langell and Tom Carden. A toast then to the Mariner of 1943 - may it set the evolutionary march of its predecessors one step higher and be the start from which a line of distinguished successors will follow. R . M .

Our high school publication encourages composition and newspaper work, and, although this project was introduced into our high school system only four years ago, it has become increasingly popular with students, faculty and alumni Many new innovations appeared in the paper this year such as The Service Parade , about friends and classmates in the service of our country; the Inquiring Reporter , a column expressing personal opinions of students on various subjects pertaining to school life; the Log-Jam , a rambling item touching on a little bit of this and that, and activities connected with the war program, such as the Defense Bond sale campaign, the important contribution the Junior Red Cross has made, and the Physical Fitness program, designed to better prepare students for war time demands. Through the kind cooperation of the local merchants who pur- chase advertising space, publishing a pap er of this type is made possible. We are grateful for their assistance The Staff thanks all who have contributed toward the success of this student edition and it is their sincere wish that you who take over will - KEEP THE LOG ROLLING! 1 1 M.

Sills The Faculty Club meets In the fall of the year to welcome and help the teachers adjust themselves In our community. A picnic is the usual procedure, this year being held at the Clipper Club grounds, and plans are in progress for a spring social gathering in order to wish all teachers leaving good luck and success in their new positions. This year the major problem was, increased state aid for the schools in order that there may be an increase in teachers 1 salaries for the oncoming year. The organization Is interested in the creation of a better school system for Marine City. The meetings are devoted to the discussion of problems of bo th teacher and student nature, unity and co- operation being of outstanding importance to the system, as well as the organization. The club is fully aware of the task placed upon them in protecting the democratic way of life and are continually trying to tetter themselves. It is hoped that the seed that has been sown will continue to develop and hold to the course charted. R. M.

However, their first game proved a slight disappointment, with the Lakeshore, an out-of- county team defeating Marine City, 6-0.

The Wildcats, however, participated in fourteen games, losing five out of the ten county games and placing them fourth in the St. Clair County Basketball League for 1943. The team, coached by Mr. Catt, and captained by Jim McKay, with such strong support from the last year 1 pg 37 ' track Front Row: Lawrence DeCou, Peter Juep, William Daniels, Donald Meyer, Harold Basney, V alter Smith, Marvin Hintzman, Edward Fritz, Mervale Huston, Donald Basney, mgr.

' ' Footbo l (conc uc ad) This was a minor setback as the Wildcats strode ahead to tie three of the next four games - with Marysville, Richmond, and Yale, and taking the Algonac game by a 13-0 score In the remaining three games scheduled. Marine City suffered two defeats at the hands of the St. Stephens and St. Clair team — the first being played on the St. Stephens field at night in one of the moe t severe rainstorms of the year, the second, the deciding County Champions battle. The Wildcats finished up the season though by winning the M.C. - Holy Cross tilt 22-6. Although the team had one disadvantage of losing 12 lettermen through graduation, they managed to capture third place in the St. Clair County League, with Ralph Mocock and Joseph Valla obtaining berths on the All-HI County team selected. This year’s letter-winners are: Charles Anderson Jack Arnold Harold Basney Donald Bassett Harvey Booth La Verne Bradford Lawrence DeCou William DeShon Prank Filipkowski guard Albert Furtaw end James Galvin Louis Guyor center Harvey HIntzman tackle Marvin HIntzman manager Peter Juep Floyd Lyon 8 fullback Ralph Mocock tackle Edward VanZandt Joseph Valla fullback quarterback end end guard tackle guard halfback halfback tackle Two other boys deserving honorable mention are William Lutz, that speedy quarterback who carried the ball In so many games, and Jerry Boullier, end, who - due to a shoulder injury - had to forfeit any more football for the remainder of the season. Good luck to the coming 1943 team] Ji and to Mr. Robert Catt, who has been doing such a grand JobMl Ba kztba f (c one a d a d ) lineup - Mocock, Booth, VanZandt, Galvin, Boullier, and Tennant started out literally with a •bang , taking six county games successively - Holy Cross, St. Clair, St. Stephens, Algonac, Marysville, Holy Cross, before a series of mishaps occurred in which the next four games were captured by St. Stephens, St. Clair and Algonac respectively. In the February 23d game M. C. again came into their own defeating the Port Huron Reserves by a 28 - 23 score. This, however, was the last Wildcat victory of the season as the final game with Marysville, determining the Wildcat’s status in the County League race, proved a disappointment with the opponents nosing the M. C. team out of third place In the League. The Tournament game at St. Clair with .Yale, once more ending in defeat for M. C., eliminat- ed them from further participation in basketball for the remainder of the season. Illness handicapped Ralph Mocock in the late games but he displayed enougi ability in these games to be chosen, along with Jim Galvin, as players selected for the St. Clair County All-Hi Basketball Team. Other fellows receiving honorable mention” were Melvin Totzke and James McKay, ending his higi school basketball career, as did Mocock, VanZandt, Booth, and Galvin - all with fine records to their name. Letter Winners for this year’s LaVerne Bradford Roy Dawn Lawrence DeCou Jim Galvin basketball season are: Jim McKay Ralph Mocock Melvin Totzke Ed VanZandt Athletic Scholarships were awarded to Ralph Mocock, James Galvin, and Dave Klein for their athletic achievements throughout high school. Lots of luck to Bradford, Dawn, DeCou and Totzke, and to the rest of the fellows who will g out for basketball this coming year.
