£et Tfo s4eCmct 7t Let us admit it fairly as high school Seniors should: We've had no end of lessons, and they’ve done us no end of good. We entered as timid Freshmen, wc leave as graduates bold. And we find it hard to realize the knowledge our young heads hold. We've had our foolish notions knocked higher than Franklin's kite; Our minds have been made over, and we know it served us right. We’ve spent four years in labor hard to prove the fact once more. That life is quite confused, and two and two are seldom four. We’re crammed to the brim with learning, and now we must turn it to use. And if one of us is a failure, he hasn’t a single excuse. The more we work and the less we talk the better results we shall get, For we've had four years of training; it may make us successes yet. Let us admit it fairly as high school Seniors should: We’re proud of Mayville High School; it's done us a lot of good. Memories of 53 Published by the Class of 1953 of ‘DecUcatton 7o 7 aienti. 7 02( Juy H TOe ove We dedicate our lives. We dedicate our whole selves, not that part which we can give most freely. We express gratefulness for the tender care during our young lives. We remember the useless moments of indecision solved by parental love. We give thankfulness for the security of a home to which we return. We dedicate unselfish guidance to the ultimate goal of successful a- chievement and happiness. We dedicate our waste of those things which our loved ones have spent years to achieve for us. We dedicate these failures because we remember them and in years to come we will try to do better. It is to the parents who loved us, helped, punished, and struggled for us that we dedicate these things. We tie our failures with a word. We tie our failures with know- ledge. We can only say that now we know, then we didn't To our parents we dedicate each page of learning here at school. 2 From kindergarten days - one has many teachers. As the years roll on - they blend and fade into a hazy background - many are forgotten entirely - some are a faint memory - but an occasional one remains brilliantly etched in your memory for the lessons taught - the hope instilled and the ideals im- pressed into your consciousness. Such a teacher is Miss Eva McRoy, our first teacher in May- ville Public Schools. Her warm understanding - her insistence upon learning the rules - the lessons she taught us - things not found in books - have made her one of our best loved teachers. To her honor we dedicate our annual, Memories of '53 . 3 ? zcaCt t BACK ROW Mrs. J. England Mr. D. England Voc. Home Ec. Social Science Special Certificate -- Special Certificate — M.S.C. M.S.C.

We were a huge group of greenies, sixty-nine in all, tip-toeing through the upper hall amid the gazes of upperclassmen. Mr. Bentley was appointed our sponsor. The first intelligent thing we did after our enrollment was to elect our class officers. They were as follows: President - Morley TerBush, Vice President - Gerald Stout, Secretary - Helen Vogt, Treasurer - Shirley Weiler. Then the sophomores came up with a fantastic idea - our initiation. They rounded up all but a few of us timid freshies in the gym - called off our names as if we were prisoners and dealt out our sentences. Thus we be- came full fledged members of Mayville High School. In view of the fact that we were well broken in, we gave a thank you party for the sophomore class later in the year. The summer flew, and before we knew it old Father Time had brought us around toSeptember 1950 - our sophomore year. We came back, thirty- five in number, feeling quite secure, having survived one year at May- ville. We were blessed with two sponsors, Mr. Humiston and Mr. Bent- ley. Our first task was to hold a grand election for our officers, and those elected were: President - Richard Bertrand, Vice President - Donald Taylor, Secretary - Mary K. Fox, Treasurer - Shirley Weiler. We immediately began making plans for the big event of our lives - the freshmen initiation. The freshmen were co-operative, and everyone had a good time. Realizing that some day most of us would become seniors, we began thinking about funds for our trip. After giving it much thought, we decided on a bake sale which was a success. The second venture in our fund raising campaign was a skating party in May. Later in the year, we gathered to order our long awaited class rings. Thirty-three of us returned as juniors in the fall of 1951. After careful consideration Mr. Humiston consented to sponsor our class. We held a meeting to select our officers, the following were elected: President - Barbara Gohs, Vice President - Beverly Duncan, Secretary - Helen Vogt, Treasurer - Mary K. Fox. The treasurer's report showed that our funds were low, so we put our heads together and began to think of ways to earn some more money. Our first event was a talent show which was a success. Much of our credit belonged to Mr. Gohs for his help. It has always been acustom in the past for the juniors to present a play, so we decided to follow through with this custom. After careful consideration we selected Calling All Carrs . We practiced faithfully nearly every night and thanks to the help of Mr. Humiston, Miss Kingsland, and Mr. Brosz, our play which was presented April 16 and 17, was a success. After the play, we gave a roller skating party and began plans for the annual banquet and prom. Our theme was Old Mexico and much time was spent preparing so that we would be remembered as good hosts to the graduating class of 1952. With the selection of Larry Lumley, Kenneth McNinch, Mary K.Fox, and Mary Lou Lobdell to lead the seniors in for Commencement, our junior year was brought to a close. 12 Here we were at last . . . the long awaited year had come with thirty-two of us entering as proud seniors. Three dropped out during our last year. Our class officers were: President - Larry Lumley, Vice President - Gerald Stout, Secretary - Geraldine Spaven, Treasurer - Beverly Dun- can. Senior pictures were taken on October second, and soon after we chose our senior play and cast, ,fRest Assured . It was presented on Decem- ber fifth and sixth, and thanks to the able directors, Mr. Brosz, and Mr. Humston it was a big hit. More funds were needed for our trip, so we worked at numerous things such as selling stationery, sponsored a roller skating party, held a local talent show, put on a bake sale, and hired Pie Plant Pete and Bashful Joe from radio station W.J.R.,who helped us present our second talent show. On March 13, we sponsored a St. Patricks Ball, in honor of the basket- ball team. To raise funds for the memorial which we are leaving the school in memory of our class, we held a box social and raffle. By now everyone was excited about the trip which was to take us through Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, Washington D. C. and down the Maryland waters. It was a wonderful six day trip and we all returned happy but tired. We then settled back and watched the junior class make preparations for our banquet and prom. After the banquet and prom, we realized that our days at Mayville High were coming to a close. After our caps and gowns arrived, we displayed them proudly. On May 31, we attended Baccalaureate, and on June 4 we entered the school for the last time as students. With the presentation of our di- plomas it brought to a close our happy days at Mayville High School. 4 info Sixtef-t6su One day I was writing a letter to Gerry Spaven, now known as Mrs. Rex Hare. Rex became a very prosperous salesman in Ohio. The doorbell rang, so I dragged myself to the door. I open- ed it, and to my amazement, there stood Frank McMullen, the new mail man. Of course we recalled old schoolday memories, and soon he handed me a special delivery letter. 1 thanked him and found upon reading it that it was from the governor of New York, Kenton Colling. The letter stated that I had won the Super Suds Contest , and had received the title Miss Dishwater. My prize was a trip to New York. Since the letter had been delayed, the date for my departure was today. I lived all alone so there were no arrangements to be made. I immediately began packing, ate my lunch and called a taxi to take me to the station. It was a good thing 1 wasn't in a hurry, because it was a half hour before the taxi arrived. The taxi driver hurried out to take my bags and to my surprise, it was an old school pal, Donald Titus. At the end of the journey, I asked how much I owed him. He said since I was such a good friend, he would just skip that. I walked over to the ticket office to buy my ticket. The face at the window looked familiar, and I soon found out that it was none other than John Hendricks. John said he had been working here since his marriage. I heard the train whistle, so I bade John good-by. I boarded the train and after much confusion I found a seat. I must have dozed off, for when I awoke it was dark, and I was hungry. I found the dining room, however, there was only one empty table occupied by a man. I sat down and it was indeed a surprise whenl realized it was my old friend� Dick Bertrand. Dick said he was a salesman for Swift and Company. We rode together until my arrival in New York. I left the train, called a taxi to drive me to the hotel. I went in, walked up to the desk, was registering, when I thought I recognized a voice. I looked around and found it was none other than Roy Shaver. I asked Roy what he was doing in New York, and soon found out he owned the hotel. He also said that he had recently married Lois McMullen. As I was signing my name. I noticed that Darlene Zassa was also registered here. I had read about her. and often wondered what she looked like. Later when I went into the lounge to rest, I noticed a girl come in who reminded me of Barbara Gohs. I walked over to her and asked her if she was Barbara Gohs. She said her name was now Darlene Zassa. a big celebrity. Later I found out she had been divorced twice, and planning for the third. As it was getting late, I bade her good-by, and went toward my room. On the way I met the chamber maid in the corridor. She too, looked familiar, so I began a conversation. To my surprise, it was Jeanette Fritz, Jeanette had married Roger, who was making a career of the army. After we finished, I went to bed to get some sleep for the long day ahead. 1 arose at 8:00 the next morning, went to breakfast, where I met the governor. He took me to the Naval Base, and while there I ran into Harold Sarles, whohad become a very successful Cap- tain. I left the base and was escorted to a T. V, program. The name of it was Ladies Day. Inside I was amazed to see Kenneth McNinch, announcer. My next event of the day was dinner at the White Club. I was astonished to find that my waitress was another school friend, Berniece Sebert. Berniece said she had married Harland. who was still in the army. In our conversation, I asked her who owned this well known club. She told me Margaret White did and she invited me in the office to see her. Since I had a movie scheduled at 8:00, I was unable to spare the time. While in the movie. I became puzzled, as I thought I recognized the star of the show. Later I found out from my escort that it was Bud Nickert, who had taken the place of Robert Michum. This ended the second day in New York. The next morning, I arose, ate breakfast, and strolled down to the airport, as I had heard that a plane from Paris was landing with racks of new fashions aboard. The stewardess smiled, and I recognized her as Ann McNinch. There was also another celebrity. Helen Vogt, who had just returned from Paris. I returned to the hotel to pack my clothes and retire for the night. I arose at 7:00 and called a taxi to drive me to the station, where I took the 8:30 train home. Upon arriving, I found the plants dead, and the cat half starved. There were several newspapers at the door, so I opened them. I noticed that Mr. and Mrs. Forrest Lobdell (Mary Lou Mathews) had just returned from Canada, where they had been visiting relatives. It also said that Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Stout were visiting parents near May ville. The front page picture was none other than Morley TerBush, who had been selected Farmer of the Year.” I heard a truck drive up, so I went to the door. It was the milkman, Richard Bodies. He said he bought the business from Robert Hazen, who had just been married to Violet, and they were going to California for the winter. I awoke late the next morning, and was eating breakfast, when the mailman came. I opened the letters, and among them found an announcement for Mary K. Fox's wedding. Mary K. was marrying A1 Titus. I felt a little bit washed out after my trip to New York so I decided to have my hair styled for the wedding. There was a new beauty shoppe in town, so I decided to try it. Upon entering, I saw Beverly Duncan, and Shirley Weiler.who I found out later, owned the shoppe. I had my hair done, and while walking home, I saw in one of the store windows that Professor Larry Lumley was to speak in the school auditorium that night. Later at home with the cat at my feet, and the evening drawing to a close, I noticed that Jim Harmon had returned from Korea. I dozed off sincerely believing that the Class of '53 had done very well for themselves. 14 By Janet Marr l Z4t 2{SiCl utd ?e4tawe tt We the Senior Class of 1953 possessing a high intellectual standing and a generous love for our fellow men, do hereby make this our last will of all possessions, valuable or worthless, large or small.

However, as the season progressed, our hopes were lost, as Jack Fox who was high scorer of the 1952 season, was injured in an automobile accident, and Richard Smith was slowly recovering from football injuries. With this handicap we lost three out of the first five games. After this slow beginning, the Wildcats improved with Harold Sarles, Ray Schlattman, Dick McNinch, Don Maiers, and Dick Smith scoring high to carry us through the season with seven straight victories. As a result of a drop in our shooting average, we lost four of the last four games. During the regular season Mayville lost ten games and won six, finishing third in the newly organized South Central Conference, Captain Harold Sarles was selected as the team's most valuable player, Dick McNinch was the high scorer, and was selected to the league all-star team. Dick Smith and Harold Sarles re- ceived honorable mention. STANDING: LEFT TO RIGHT: Marilyn Smith, Sandra Robinson. SITTING: LEFT TO RIGHT: Kay O’Neil.

We arrived in Charlottesville about 11:00 a.m. o’clock, Tuesday, checked our baggage and lunched at the Montecello Hotel. Here we visited Ash Lawn, the home of James Monroe, Montecello, the home of Thomas Jefferson, and toured the campus of the Uni- versity of Virginia. Next, we boarded a bus expecting to ride the Sky Line drive on top of the Blue Ridge, but due to rain and a dense fog we were forced to take the valley drive to Washington, after dining at the Fanarama Inn. We arrived in Washington about 8:30 p.m., and were assigned our rooms at the Annapolis Hotel. At 8:30 the next morning, Wednesday, we boarded our bus for a sight seeing tour. We first visited the imposing Washington Monument, then the beautiful Jefferson Memorial, and the grand Lincoln Memorial. Next came per- haps, the most thrilling of all our sights, the wonderful Arlington Cemetery. Here we visited the Home of Lee, the Tomb of the Civil War Unknown dead, the Ampitheater where is located the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and witnessed the changing of the Guard; then the field of the dead with its 96,000 graves. Next we toured Alex- andria lunching at the Old Club, Washington's favorite eating place, The Masonic Memorial to Washington, and Christs Church where General Washington, worshiped. Next we visited the National Shrine, Mount Vernon, the home of Washington. After seeing the home, the tomb and the grounds we left far Washington. On the way back we stopped at the National Air Port and saw planes of all types landing and taking off. That evening we dined at the Casino Royal Club. Thursday we toured the city, visiting the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, Pan American Union, The National Museum. The White House, The Library of Congress, and the Capitol, where we had our pictures taken. The afternoon was free and was spent by the students in various ways. At 8:00 that evening we took a moonlight cruise on the Potomac, stopping at an amusement park and arriving back about 11:00 o'clock. At 10:30 Friday we boarded our train for home arriving in Detroit at 7:30 Saturday morning. It was a most inspiring and educational trip. Your conduct and behavior was beyond reproach. Of all the trips I have taken with Seniors, yours was the best conducted and smoothest I have ever taken.
