Armsbury, Henry Lawerenoe Things do not happen in this world, they are brought about, and labor is the foundation of all prosperity. It has been with interest and concern that we have followed the class of f 48 through the grades and up to the parting of the ways . They have met their problems with ambition, with courage, and with character, and aided by the co-operation of a patient, thoughtful and seasoned faculty, the fruits of their labor are here presented with the deepest respect and esteem, because it is the result of their own effort.

PRESIDENT ADDRESS We are on the threshold of an event which we have looked forward to for many months. This night repre its the fullfillment of an ideal which has guided us during our school days. We are thankful that we have had the perseverence to study and work for the completion of our course. We, the class of nineteen hundred forty eight, wish to extend a cordial welcune to you, our parents, teachers, classmates, and friends, to these graduation exercises. It may be true that we were not the most outstanding class in every field that has ever experienced this happy moment of graduation, but we have accomplished more than average success In our class and extra curricular activities. As far as winning trophies is concerned, our athletes have not been eminent. Nevertheless they have tried sport- manship, and their exceptional drive made them a group of athletes that any class can be proud of. This may be shown by the selection of some of our classmates for positions on the All-County basketball and football teams. The coaches who made this possible In our respective high school years were: Mr. Pfingst, Mr. Dresser, Mr. Ketner, and Mr. Murphy. We have found through our four years of high school training that cooperation, deep, heartfelt cooperation, is indeed a vital factor in the success of a class. We have held this as our byword In all our class activities, and as a result they have all been auspicious. It has been said that nobody admires a quitter. The man who keeps on trying, even when he has a wonderful reason for quitting, evokes our admiration. Everybody Is for him. His exploit gives us an added reason for bravery--for perseverance against odds. A great man once said, Tell me your loyalties, arri I can tell you what you are. What we do when we are depressed gives a strong clue to what we are. Our graduation at this time is a result of perseverence in study. May we continue to persevere in the larger loyalties of the school of life. In looking back over our high school (Continued on the next page) 13 years, may traditional events stand out as ones of gratification: the blithe J-Hop, accenting spring; the Junior-Senior Banquet, with Bill ead as toastmaster and a host of fine speakers; the memorable Prom; the gay Senior Carnival, an evening of ecstasy for all; the Mistletoe Dance, with the selection of the king and queen of the school as the feature attraction; the Senior Play, the production of which would have been impossible had it not been for the skillful and able direction, the cooperation, and patience of Mrs. Fullwood and Mr, Pfingst, for which we owe many thanks. And then came our most ex- citing moment, the one thing that will remain the most vivid in our minds, the Senior Trip. Yes, these felicitous moments are now over and our high school days are now in tne past and what lies before us can only be determined by our own toil and self-denial, by sacrifice, aspiration, heroic work, and unfailing courage. I believe our motto: Not finished, just beginning, is explanatory in itself, and if we are but strong enough to push open the door of opportunity and then enter and take possession, the conclusion to this motto will be fulfilled. And so we are prepared to leave our high school and may we at this time thank you, our parents, teachers, friends, and especially our sponsors, Mr. Pfingst aad Mrs, Fullwood; and now, the class of f 48 bids you all a long, a lasting;, and friendly farewell. DON SCHCJTT PRES. CLASS HISTORY , _ , A large crowd, consisting of parents, teachers, and students, was gathered for the first game for the class of ' 43. Penants, show- ing that we were from M.C.H.S. and the class of f 43, were proudly waved high as we looked down the long, hard field of battle at our goal post, gaily decorated, in maroon and white. We had 60 eligible players at the beginning of the game, and we were coached that first quarter by Mr. Marsa and Miss Ruotsala. Francis Tyler was the big cap- tain of our Freshmen squad, with Don Shutt , Maikon Jones, Mary Morrison, Bemie Waelens, and Bob Wood as his chief suppoMp s. WittfN c bake sale and two record dances, we made our first small gai rt down the field. After a quick shower and pep talk by our coaches Mrs . Bradley and Mr. Plummer, we were back to the grind for the second period. In- spired by the success of our first orchestral dance, we gave another dance and bake sale, thus gaining a first down. Our captain this per- iod was Jack DeLisle, with Bill Read, Lois Blythe, Dorothy Genshow, Bernie Waelens, and Francis Tyler as team mates. At this point in the game, we were at the fifty yard line and our goal didn’t look too far off — although we knew the last half would be rugged. Because of penalties or report cards, there were only 54 members of the team left for the third quarter. Well rested from the half, we were determined to do something this quarter towards reaching our goal. Our team was captained by Dick Walsh with Don Schutt, Lois Blythe, Elaine Turnbull, Bernie Waelens, and Terry Foltanovich making the sensational passes and runs. Our coaches for this quarter were Miss Bruce and Miss Norrington. Our kick-off was good, and giving an orchestral dance and selling personal stationary we completed a second down. Our next major drive was toward the J-Hop, the biggest dance of the year. The field was cleared for action, and choosing Spring as the theme for the J-Hop, we made it a big sucess. Being driven on by our success, we gave the Jr. and Sr. Banquet and Prom, thus reach- ing the seventy-five yard line and ending the quarter. A determined team marched on the field for the fourth and last quarter. Our captain was Don Schutt, and his able assistants were Fred McLouth, Dorothy Genshow, Elaine Turnbull, Terry Foltanovich, and Bernie Waelens. Our first play of the final period was our Senior Carnival. It was given the 1st of November and was declared a huge success. Our next gains were made by selling Christmas Cards, giving the annual Mistletoe Dance , and selling Greeting Cards. Our successful Senior Play, A Date With Judy , was given the 13th and 19th of March. Next we got in a huddle to decide upon our Senior Trip. A four day cruise on the Noronlc to Mackinaw Island was our choice and the date was 14 the 24th of May. And now as we stand on the 5-yard line, we see before us the goal that we have had in mind for four active periods — Our struggles, our gains, our ups and our downs will be reflected in the diploma that waits for us at the Maroon and White goal-post. The fight is almost over, and we shall soon chalk up a victory for our side. The game will be finished-yet beginning for us will be the life schedule for which we 1 11 need all the skill, exdurance, and initiative we’ve cultivated in our four long periods. Our thanks to you Mrs. Fullwood and Mr. Pfingst for coaching us in this last significant period, and to our parents, faculty, and friends, for your loyal and encouraging support in this victorious march down the field- r When the last whistle blows, this football game will be recorded in the annals of M.C. High. And may the annals say that, we fought the good fight. SENIOR CLASS PLAY The Senior Class of 48 presented their Senior Play, A DATE WITH JUDY , the 13th and 19th of March. It was under the direction of Mr. Ralph Pfingst and Mrs • Louise Fullwood and was declared a huge success. The play cast Included: Judy Foster, a teen age miss-TERRY FOL- TANOVICH: elvin Foster, her father-BOB LANGELL; Dora Foster, her mother- AUDREY MILLER; Randolph Foster, her younger brother-DON SCHUTT; Hannah, the maid-BETTY MCNIFF; Barabara Winsocket, Judy ! s friend-JERRY GREGORY; Oogie Pringle, the man in Judy’s life-BUB FISHER; Mitze Hoffman, another of Judy’s friend -LOIS BLYTHE; Mr. Mart indale, a theatrical producer- BILL READ; Mrs . Hotchkiss, the laundry woman -ELAINE TURNBULL; Elois Hotch- kiss, her daughter, who elocutes- JANE SHEARER; Mrs. Shultzharamer , of the P .T. A. -VIRGINIA BUCKLER; Rexford Meredith O’Connor, a new boy in town-FRED MC LOUTH; Susie, Rex’s kid s is ter -CATHERINE KREUSEL. The story opens with Judy determined to beat the slacks off Tootsie Whiteman by soliciting contributions to the Community Relief Fund-the winner to be Queen and lead the grand march at the school dance. Soliciting is too slow, however, and she enters a whole raft of con- tests, as a means of raising some quick money-using her parent’s names. The results are disastrous. Judy’s father wins honorable mention In a nation-wide contest for the most klssable lips. But Judy is not one to give up easily. She tries her hand at writing and concocts a True Confession script gets mixed up with Mrs. Foster’s speech to the P.T.A., and when she is unable to give the speech herself, it is read for her. Judy’, meanwhile, has been trying to Interest a theatrical producer in giving her and Mitze jobs as actresses. They even d o a scene from the high school spring play for the astonished producer. In the midst of their act, Mrs. Schlutzhammer sweeps in, waving the Confession Manus-cript and demanding that Mrs. Foster resign from the P. T. A. They’ll have no bigamist In their organization! On top of this, Oogie barges in -and tells Judy he’s tired of waiting for her to make up her mind. He’s accepted Tootsie ' Whiteman’s invitation to the dance. Judy prac- tically dissolves in tears. Life has reached tragic proportions for Judy, but before the evening is over she almost makes a new conquest, is mixed up in a near elopement-and, finally, In a last minute mad rush, goes to the dance with Oogie. And, believe it or not, she Is crowned Queen, too, as Tootsie has a bad case of the hives. Charlotte Carman was in charge of advertising and Con Cohrs handled the tickets. The student directors were Jean Hedt and Dorothy Genshow with Dorothy Ann Snyder as property manager. The stage man- agers Ken Davidson, Larry Lang, and Francis Tyler did an excellent job with the lights, sound effects, and other chores. The programs were under the supervision of Bob Langell. Between acts, Catherine Kreusel sang Easter Parade , and Elease Easterling sang Now is the Hour.

In the first game against Lakeshore the Orange and Black looked like a veterans ' team. Contin- ually they stopped Lakeshore from even moving the ball across the ten second line and time after time they stalled the ball to go racing down the floor to sink a dog shot. As the game drew nearer the ending whistle, and Lakeshore became hurried to get into the game, these tactics of M.C. became even more pronounced. The game ended with the Wildcats on the long end of a 33-24 score. DeLisle led the Mariners with 10 points. This was a non-county game. The second game of the season, also non-county, was play- ed on the Jefferson Street Cym court.

Coach Ketner, our head basketball and assistant football coach, was new, however, to the boys, but through his friendly fashion he was soon known. Under their keen management Marine City managed to take second place honors in the St. Clair County League.

The Student Council of M. � C.� H. � S.� is composed of three representatives of each class from the seventh through the twelfth grades. In accordance with its constitution, the purpose of this or- ganization is to better the welfare of the student body in bringing the school bigger and better assemblies and keeping the school in excellent condition. This year the council sponsored dances, assemblies, and a scrap drive which helped pay for new stage curtains for the Jefferson StreetGym. The Student Council also had four pictures framed for the school. Our thanks to the Student Council this year for its help in ironing out school problems and may it continue to be successful throughout the coming years. 42 GIRLS ' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION First Row: Mary Ellen Le Clare, Lois Henderson, Ann Hurlburt, Roma Endres, Norma Heath, Charlotte Segar, Agnes Korpak, Carol Langell , Mitzi Fairfield, Pat Ogden, Rita Hurlburt, Donna Kaufman.

The Monitor System was organized in 1943 by Mrs. Lillian Keith, faculty advisor of the Student Council. The Student Council members participate in the system as hall monitors. Some students, who have free periods, are also asked to take monitor duty. It is their duty to check all student hall passes. The monitor T s willingness to cooperate to the fullest extent has added much to the success of this system. The Monitor System has proved its value many times, and under the fine direction of Miss Brown, it has ably assisted the faculty through- out this school year. This enables the school to keep a complete record of the student 1 s location during school hours.

In 1928 Marine City High School acquired a chapter of the National Honor Society. This Society recognizes four qualities: Scholar- ship, Character, Leadership, and Service as the most essential in a fine citizen. In order to promote these qualities it recognizes students who excel in them and accepts th6m as members of the society. Every year ten per cent of the Juniors and fifteen per cent of the Seniors, who are made eligible by their scholarship, and the faculty. The ones receiving the highest ratings are awarded membership to the society, one of the highest honors conferred upon a high school student. The National Athletic Scholarship Society is limited to boys earning an athletic letter in a major sport end whose scholastic average for three consecutive semesters is higher than the average of the school. These boys are chosen by the members of the coaching staff and school administration and are those who have exemplified the highest citizenship and sportsmanship on the athletic field and in every day life. 43 Front Row: BAND Carol Reichle, Valerie Smith.

It is under the leadership of Mr. Plummer. The members participated in many activities where they played and marched, such as: Memorial Day, The Mardi Gras, Sperry’s Santa Claus Parade, and the Teacher’s Institute.

The score was 5 all at the end of the first quarter, but K.C.H.S. made 3 points to the Blue and White’s 3 in the second quarter and maintained a lead the rest of the game. McLouth made 11 points in helping the Wildcats to a 22-13 victory. On February 3rd the Mariners lost their second game to St. Stephens in a close one 33-27. The ' Wildcats rant the show in the first half, outscoring and out playing them. The third quarter was dif- ferent though, and when the quarter ended, it was M.C. 17 St. Stephens 23. Each scored 10 points in the fourth period. Christensen led the way with 7 points. The next game with Marysville featured fast passing and good shooting on Marysville’s part. The Wildcats played good ball in the first half but were jinxed by bad shooting and thus unable to match a high powered Blue and White five. The Mariners took many good shots from the field but missed too regularly to maintain and even s tanding. The whistle sounded with the Orange and Black on the bottom — the score 60-21. Richmond trucked to M.C. for the next one and walked away the winners 33-20. The same old jinx of not being able to hit the basket tailed us again, and if games were won on good shots missed then the Oranged and Black would have been the victors. This game showed a loose defense and fast break with both teams taking many shots but Richmond hitting a lot better percentage. The Wildcats came to life in their next game against Holy Cross. The Mariners took the lead in the first quarter on a 7 to 3 score and maintained a comfortable lead through the rest of the game. With Kaufman, McLouth, DeLisle, and Christensen contributing 10,9,6, and 6 points respectively the Mariners were able to conquer Holy Cross by the score of 39-23. Our second game with St. Clair was a replica of the first- only the score was not as close. Both teams were out with an extra special effort to win and the game was fast and rough all the way through. This can be vouched for by the number of foul 3 committed, 33, to be exact. St. Clair attempted 22 and made 13 while Marine ity attempted 16 and made 5. The free throws again made the big difference in the win and loss column, for the Wildcats out scored the Red and Blue from the field 12- 11. Kaufman was high point man for the Mariners with 11 points. The final score was Marine City 29, St. Clair 35. The Orange and Black played their last county game on Ward Cottrell court against the Algonace Muskrats. This game drew the biggest crowd of the season. The first quarter was played on even terms with both teams scoring 9 points. The second quarter was a little different though, and our Wildcats made 13 points to Algonac’s 5 to walk into the dressing room at the half leading 22-14. Algonac came back strong in the third and fourth quarters to score 11 in both while the Orange and Black were pumping in 9 and 10. The Wildcats showed their best form of the season in beating the Muskrats 36 to 34. Kaufman made an effort and came through with 14 points for the winners Bill Read made the All-County second team and Jack DeLisle made honorable mention. Five members of the team are graduating this ' year; Fred McLouth, Delbert Kaufman, Jack DeLisle, Bill Read, and Francis Tyler. We wish to extend the best of luck to next year’s team and hope that they might come out on top.
