On one side rose a steep and rocky mountain. For a long distance up its sides it was covered with luxuriant vegetation, but the peak was always white with snow and ice. When the sun had set to everything else and the valley was in darkness, his beams seemed to linger about its snow-capped peak, making it glisten and sparkle like a myriad of brilliant jewels. After the day ' s work, the people loved to sit in their doorways and watch the sun as it lit up the mountain top. It had been the custom for many years for the children of the village, at a certain age, to climb this mountain. Some of them went down the other side and continued on, while the rest returned to the village. Often travelers passing through the village, told ihem that their mountain was but a part of a great chain, that it was only a beginning and that others were larger and more beautiful. The parents of the children were anxious for them to make the ascent although they knew that some of the children would never return. Finally, one day, a number of the children decided to leave their homes to climb the mountain and go out into the great world beyond. The people of the village wished that the journey be accomplished with as few accidents as possible so they secured expert guides who had had a great deal of training for this work. They began their climb light-heartedly, but soon became tired, for the ascent in some places was very difficult. After resting they were refreshed and eager to continue on their way. After a few hours climbing they noticed that the air seemed cooler, that the flowers had disappeared, and that the trees were small and stunted. Soon snow and ice began to appear, and the climb- ing became more and more difficult and dangerous. Great cayons yawned be- fore them, the trails became so narrow and steep that an inch to right or left would plunge them hundreds of feet downward. Some of the little band be- came disheartened when they beheld these obstacles and did not care to go farther. The other members were even more anxious to reach the top. At last they stopped on the summit and gazed speechlessly at the scene laid out before them. In one direcion they could see their own little village, while in the opposite direction, they saw many mountain peaks rising out of the clouds, sparkling and glowing in the setting sun. Some were filled with a great desire to stand on the different peaks and to find out about the people who inhabited the valleys. Others, now that the top had been reached, were content and did not care to go farther. But the majority were determined to continue the journey. Our Senior Class has been like the children of the villagers in the peaceful valley. Our parents were anxious to have us climb the hills of knowledge to- ward the summit. The guides— our teachers— have helped us keep on the trail, avoiding gorges and crevasses. Some of the way has been steep and rugged. Snow and ice have often blocked our passage, but we have kept on until tonight, we stand on the summit of our first mountain, our high school Commencement. Different feelings mingle in our hearts, but most of all we are filled with thoughts of those who have assisted us in our work. To our parents and friends, who have sacrificed so much for us, who have been interested in our welfare, and who hcfve aided us in our several enter- prises, we extend our sincere gratitude and assure you that we shall never forget what you have done for us. To the Board of Education, who have provided for us competent instructors and the best equipment possible, and thus have shown a sincere interest in our welfare, we extend our heartiest gratitude. Teachers, our faithful and careful guides on this climb of ours, you who have endeavored so earnestly to keep us from falling into the crevasses of despair and disappointment, you will long be remembered, and our grateful thoughts will go with you through life. We of the class of 1950 realize that we have reached but the first summit and see others ahead. Although they are veiled with mist and fog, we shall go forward, facing a future of great uncertainty, but also of great possibilities. We make no promise of great fame or fortune, but we promise to do our best and work our hardest. We shall go into our new life without any delusions, striving to meet whatever the future holds for us. — Howard D. Hall 18 CLASS WILL We, the Class of 1950, do bequeath the following— To the Freshman Class we bequeath our ability to rise and shine every morning.

It was quite a large cast, 63 persons in all, but the production was a large one too. After the group picked out its star players, which were: Don Brown, Carole Welser, Jean Jacques, and Elda Jones, and supporting players, Norm Welser and Margaret Bridges, the directors, Mr. Jones and Miss Richmond, started us off on a rigid rehearsal. In our play we took part in many successful dances, and even selling refreshments at the games. The 1946-47 production was quite a success, but we were still quite inexperienced. The dramatic season closed for a 10 week rest but was scheduled to start rehearsals again in September 1947. Those ten weeks flew by, and before we knew it, we were again gathered, 49 strong, on the stage. Again our star players were chosen, and Bill Erdman Margaret Bridges, Jane Robb and Don Brown received the starring roles, with Elda Jones as supporting players, and Mr. Ketner and Mrs. Bradley as directors. This second production was quite a big one with the players taking part in many successful dances, and a very successful play, Margie ' s Kid Sister. Of course, that ten week rest again came speeding into view, and the dramatic season once more came to an end. We were getting a little more experience now and able to do more difficult productions. After that deserving 10 week rest we again gathered on stage. Our re- hearsals started in September 1948, and our cast had dwindled to 41 players. Our star players were again picked with Norm Welser, Bob Hamilton, Lois Henderson, and Carole Welser receiving the starring roles, and Charles Tripp and Helen Wood as supporting players. As we found out in past years that the season passes very fast, our directors, Mrs. Bradley and Mr. Murphy im- mediately put us to work. Of course our first big scene was of our Christmas Play, and following were the J-Hop and of course a very nice Jr. .Sr. Prom and Banquet. Before we knew it, that 10 weeks of rest were upon us again, but knowing that our biggest, most successful, but last year in the dramatic field was approaching, we gladly ' took advantage of it. Those 10 weeks passed so quickly, that it seemed like only yesterday we were saying our good-bys for those few weeks of vacation. In September 1949 we trouped together again for our last season together, and to present our final play. Our starring players for this last year were How- ard Hall, Bill Erdmann, Lois Henderson and Phyllis Schroeder, with Jim Beattie and Bob White as supporting players. Knowing what was ahead for us, our directors for this year, Mrs. Fullwood and Mr. Pfingst, immediately started us off on rehearsals. In our final production we reproduced scenes of the Mistletoe dance, the senior play, our senior trip on the South American to Chicago and Mackinaw Island, and of course those memorable nights, Baccalaureate and Commencement. These four years with the Half Century Dramatics group will long be remembered by all the members of the casts. We wish to thank our parents, directors, and supporters, who stood by us, and helped us to conquer the road to success. 20 Mjroucrvh PRESIDENT: VICE PRES: SECRETARY: TREASURER: STUDENT COUNCIL: Donald Erdman Bernie Mitchell Jean Kammer Shirley Smith Evelyn Hintzman Rita Hurlburt 21 HOMEROOM A ROW 1: Mr. Connors, P.

Mr. Connors is the lucky individual who holds the club over their little pointed heads. Some of the more conservative kids are Chet Kuberski, Shirley Smith, Chuck Beattie, and Mitzi Fairfield. These kids always seem to be on the run. Five of our cheerleaders are from this grade— namely Betty Lou Vogel, Dort Kammer, Pat Ogden, Phyllis Jolin and Mitzi Fairfield. In January 1950 the girls and boys picked sides and started their annual fight for freedom— that of the magazine sales. The losers were to give a dinner and dance at the high school. The girls won by about $70 and were eager to receive their end of the bargain. So the boys paid up with a super spaghetti dinner with pie a la mode for desert. The girls really were astonished to find out what good cooks the boys turned out to be. This eaaer section along with the other is looking forward to and planning for a big J-Hop this year. 22 HOMEROOM B ROW 1: B. Vogel, M. LeClare, D. Miller, P. Shaw, P. O ' Toole, S. Smith, P.

These up and coming Juniors, who will soon be Seniors, have Mrs. McCar- ron as one of their sponsors and as their homeroom teacher. Early in the school season the Juniors had a super bake sale at the Edison in Marine City. After one of the home football games they sponsored a slick after-game dance entitled the Junior Jump . As Thanksgiving approached these energetic students had another dance, which they called the Fowl Ball . The dance was topped off with the eager talent of these students— Benita Polio, Phyllis Jolin and Mitzi Fairfield in the Junior and Senior class. A chocolate turkey, the door prize, was won by Andy Friederichs. While the students and faculty prepared for the Christmas vacation, this Junior class entertained the student body with an assembly of two skits, which were written and acted by the 11th grade English classes. Some of the kids who are frequently found on the honor roll are Shirley Smith. Pat O ' Toole, Carol Henkelman, Donna Kaufman, Don Erdmann, and Gerald Burch. In this class are several star athletes, such as Bernie Mitchell, Chet Kuber- ski, Syd McLouth, Kenny Robinson, Jerry Burch, and Chuck Beattie. 23 CLASS OFFICERS PRESIDENT: VICE PRES: SECRETARY: TREASURER: STUDENT COUNCIL: Lyle Campbell Maxine Rahn Dick Wendt Janice Schaffer Marilyn Kaufman Eugene Bodinar 25 HOMEROOM A ROW 1: S.

These Sophomores along with the other half of the class had an orchestra dance, “The Sophomore Swing , featuring Tubby Tyler ' s orchestra. The school year was started out with a successful bake sale. A few of the sophomores are on the honor roll quite frequently. These in- dustrious studetns are: Gloria Berkowitz, Lois Biskner, Sylvia Buckler, Lyle Campbell, Gaylord Creedon, Delores Fritz, Valda Heine, Shirley Kornmeier, Shir- ty John, Dick Lardie, Gail McLean, Martha Palmer, Maxine Rahn, Janice Schaffer, Betty Varndell, Dick Wendt, and Norine Wissman. Besides participating in the regular class activities, the kids held a class meeting to make plans for a spelling bee with the boys against the girls. At the time this annual goes to press the bee has not been held, but the girls are very confident that they will win. Frequently this class is disturbed by the grunting and groaning from po- tential wrestlers, who are Eugene Bodinar, Chuck Hahn, and Delmar Beier. 26 HOMEROOM B ROW Is C. Pryce, J. Prater, J.

Among them was the wonderful hard-time party held last fall. This party started out with a scavenger hunt, and later the kids danced and had a lunch in the gym. There is a bunch of swell kids in the homeroom, and the soonsor, Mrs. Joachim, is swell, too. Some of the kids are little angels; others, little brats. During one of the marking periods this year Gloria Berkowitz, Delores Fritz, Norine Wissman, Maxine Rahn, and Gail McLean received all A report cards. Several of the students within the walls of Room 21 are eager bookworms. A few of the students also carry a supply of comic books and love stories around with them. A new classmate of this homeroom was received at the beginning of this year, 1950— Valda Heine, who came to us from Latvia. Several of the students in this class love biology. They like to sit and study the outside through the windows all hour.

Homeroom 9-A is governed by Miss Brown, who is teased constantly by her students in Room 6 about her hometown, Ishpeming. The Freshmen are a closely knit group of young ' uns and where you find one Freshman, you always see two, three, even four others. The Freshman Class is known to have many talented members. Among them are David Beattie, the mathematician; Carol Wenzel and Jerry Manuel, the sweet-voiced canaries; Jim White, the sound effects man; Bernie Elsholz, the Fisher Body Craftsman designer; Ronald Munson, the book authority; Roy- den Gilbert, the brilliant young pianist; Marsha Strong and Donna Scheldon, the tap dancers; Terry Holmes, the trumpet player; Kenneth Holmes and Sally McNiff, the class artists. And, of course, the hostess of the year is Geraldine Kruckenburg. During the school year the Freshies loyally support all games, dances, and other school functions. After winning games and successful dances the ninth graders jam Joe ' s place, where you ' ll find Barb Wendt, Carol Reichle, Val Smith, Phyllis Martell, Joyce McLeod, and others soaking up cokes and the current favorite, Muse, Music, Music . 30 • % HOMEROOM B ROW 1: J.

One of their spon- sors, Mr. Nowak, is sometimes called Al Jolson because of his superb perform- ance in the Civics Assembly last Thanksgiving. The Freshman class started out in M.C.H.S. very successfully. To date, the Freshies have had a bake sale, an after-game dance, and a big orchestral dance. In the three years ahead they plan to participate in more and more activities. In the skit, The Cute Family , produced by the English classes under Mrs. Hall ' s supervision, some of the Freshmen displayed a great acting ability. Frequently on the honor roll are David Beattie, George Butler, Dorrisanne Kaltz, William Osterland, Edward Rahn, Joan Richardson, Barbara Wendt, Carol Reichle, Marsha Strong, Arthur Butler, Madonna Dudley, Douglas Dueweke, Janet Hudson, Joanne Marsa, Nancy Segar, and Kate Kliemann. A lot of athletic aibility is coming up in this class, too.

Sixty-two kids made up our seventh grade this year and they are really a bunch of little eager beavers. It didn ' t take ihem long to get acquainted with the hustle and bustle of our school, and now they seem to be right in the swing under the leadership of Mr. Marsa, who rules Room 14. This year these 7th graders gave a very successful party to which the fifth, sixth, and eighth graders were invited. Everyone had a swell time. Their aim for the next few years is to make scads of money for their graduation. Already these under-classmen have had candy and bake sales as money making activities. Some of the kids who appear frequently on the honor roll are Carol Baker, Nancy Baker, Beverly Bibeau, Elmer Dewey, Laura Dietlin, Nancy Harper, Dennis Thompson, Carol Brenner, Mary Wyrembelski, and Lawrence Kaczperski. Plans were made on two plays to be given in the near future along with some dances. 35 38 FOOTBALL TEAM ROW 1: C. Hahn J. Lardie, B- Hamilton, J. Watson, B. White, N. Welser, C. Kuberski, J. Beattie.
