Mayville High School - Wildcat Yearbook (Mayville, MI)

Text from Pages 1 - 68 of the 1954 volume:

'DecUcattM, Mere words often fail to express the real feeling and appre ciation we hold for another person. The deeds one does in his work, however, are mate testimony of one's greatness. There are many great and everlasting things that Mr. Ewing has done for our school since his coming here in 1948. We shall not enumerate the many ways in which this is a better place to work and live as a result of his excellent administrative ability, but we can say that we, the Class of 1954 are very happy to dedicate this yearbook to Mr. G. L. Ewing for the magnificent job he has done for the students, the school, and the community. 20 fote 2 Taught to the tune of a hickory stick I was your bashful barefoot beau You were my gal in ca You wrote on my slate When we were a coupl MR.

One of the few bright spots was the naming of three Mayville players to the league All Star Team; Dick Smith FB, Jerry Broomfield E, and Ed Raymond T. The following boys were awarded varsity football letters; Jerry Broomfield, Dick Harris, Lloyd McLane, Ed Raymond, Jim Hart. Bob Wasielewski, Don Pregizer, Roger TerBusn. Dave Seddon, Jack White, Fred Werth, Dick Smith, Milan Ignotov, Larry Mathews, Cecil Ide, and Don Davidson. In a vote taken after the last game Ed Raymond was named the team's most valuable player by his teammates.

The rest of the squad was composed of the following: Roger TerBush, James Schlatt- man, Douglas Stout, Larry Mathews, Max Smith, Clare Bodeis, Jack Wright, William Sarles, Donald Davidson, Fred Werth, Ernest Bentley, Edward McLane and Jerry Reh. Promise of a successful season re- ceived a set back when mother nature sent us very poor baseball weath- er; Dick McNinch, regular short stop, dropped baseball and Ed McLane, a very promising sophomore left hander, severely injured his ankle. Making the best of available material and limited practice, the Wild- cats opened the season with a 6-2 victory over Vassar. Russ Torrey limited the Vulcans to 3 hits. Mayville dropped their second game to a strong North Branch team 8-0. Caro edged Mayville 6-5 in an extra inning thriller. Mayville defeated South Central conference foe Orton- ville 8-4. Games still to be played include contests with Imlay City, Lapeer, Millington and Fairgrove. Russel Tor rey, Junior right hander, is the mainstay of the pitching staff with Lloyd McLane and Jerry Reh assisting. The infield was composed of Roger TerBush, Jerry Broomfield, Ray Schlattman, Jim Hart and Lloyd McLane, with Jim Schlattman, Doug Stout and Larry Mathews filling capably when called upon. The following boys saw service in the outfield pastures: Milan Ignotov, Max Smith, Clare Bodeis, James Schlattman, Jack Wright, Bill Sarles, and Ernie Bentley. At this writing the hitting burden is being carried by Jerry Broomfield, Jim Hart, Milan Ignotov and Lloyd McLane. All of these lads have had at least 3 hits in the first 4 games.

This page sponsored by Fostoria Grain Company and A1 Warmbier 31 Mayville High School Wildcats started their second season in the South Central Conference in the favorite role to win the championship. The reason the coaches of Imlay City, Millington, North Branch, and Ortonville and the sports writers chose Mayville was because of the number of veterans returning. Topping the returning lettermen were Richard McNinch. All-Star conference forward; Raymond Schlattman, a fine set shooter; Donald Maiers, speedy guard; and Max Smith, a smooth ball handler. These five boys carried the burden during most of the sea- son in an excellent 15-3 record, going undefeated in the conference to win the championship and become the District Class C Champs. Playing key roles in several games were William Sarles and Roger Smith. In addition to these boys the successful season would never have materialized without Clare Bodies, Jerry Broomfield, Larry Mathews, Russell Torrey, Roger TerBush, Ernest Bentley, and Robert Robison. Leading the season McNinch, with Smith, 199 points; points and Ray Sch- Dick McNinch, May- been selected on th second year now. Ray Schlattman was selected by his teammates as the team's most valuable player for the season and was given honorable mention on the conference All-Star squad along with Dick Smith and Don Maiers. The Fireman honored the championship basketball squad with fine banquet in the High School gym on April 5th. con- scorers for were Dick 281 points; Dick Don Maiers, 122 lattman, 138 points, ville's leading scorer has ference All-Star team for the 32 0 - X ' -'- - H3 V«r‘ .

During the summer they held weekly outdoor concerts with practices on Monday and Thursday night. They also traveled to the Imlay City and De- troit State Fair. From the Detroit fair the band received a beautiful trophy. With the beginning of the school year the majorette elections were conducted. Roger Smith was appointed Drum Major. Madolin Robinson and Erlinda Titus were elected majorettes with Bonnie Ohmer appointed as mascot. The band livened up the half time of the football games with marching exhibition and tried encouraging the team with serenades from the bleachers. Evidently the serenades were to no avail. They also marched in the mass band exhibition at Uni- versity of Michigan. A Pep Band was chosen as follows: Coronet Baritone Bass Manager; Madolin Robinson Madolin Robinson Sharon Coxe Duane Robinson Clarinet Ray Brasier Alto Saxophone Drums Sue Maiers Trombone Ruth Vogt Bev Blackmore Judy Lynch Marilyn Walker Chuckie Hamilton Through the year the pep band participated in many activities. They were present at all home basketball games and also furnished dinner music for many of the local banquets and programs, among them the Father Son Banquet, F.F.A. banquet and also the Alumni Banquet. All in all it was a very nice year for this group of the band. ' To begin the concert season, sectional rehearsals were begun and tryouts conducted.

We played many different traditional Christmas carols and some favorite classic music, with a few novelty numbers. The annual district band festival was held at Mayville this year. Our band received a 1st at this contest and entering in the State Contest received a 2nd place rating. Immediately following this event was scheduled our annual spring concert which was very successful. As a climax to this year, the band banquet and the awards assembly was held. The award for the most improved musician was received by Nancy Morrison a Freshman and Elaine Sugden was elected most valuable Senior. Sandra Robinson a Junior and Marilyn Smith a Sophomore were awarded scholarships to summer music camps. The band received its medals including the district and state awards as well as the solo and ensemble medals. The people meeting the required standards were awarded band letters and the Seniors received the traditional senior awards. The whole year was very successful and 1 believe that all the band members benefited from the many activities. Sandra Robinson cutcC Front; C. Hamilton, B. Black- more. Second Row: J. Brasier, J.

Although we were a grade short of becoming High School students, we could get a quick preview of the many activities ahead. We chose as our class officers; President; Douglas Sherk, Vice President: Jack Fox, Secretary; Virginia Hare, Treasurer; Nancy Leach. Our class sponsor was Mr. Brosz, and we obtained a successful start in our High School career when we presented three one-act plays on March 19, 1950. They were: The Little Lamp Lighter , Alias Jeanetta . and Danger At The Door . At the close of this year, we tossed away our books, and waited eagerly for our Freshmen year to begin. NINTH GRADE In September of 1950, we enrolled at Mayville High as Green Freshmen . We had an enrollment of sixty- three students, and our class sponsor was again Mr. Brosz. Our class officers for the Freshmen year were: Presi- dent: Richard McNinch, Vice President: Yalon Harris, Secretary: Madolin Robinson, Treasurer: Jean Bacon. In October the Sophomores initiated us. Our biggest money-making project for the year was the magazine sales sponsored by the Curtis Publishing Company. Those who left our class during the year were: Jean Bacon, Betty Coral, Donald Freeland, Norma Gaborik, Mary Lois Lyman, Faye Osburn, Warren Phelps, Douglas Sherk, Frank Sholes, and Grace Taylor. When June rolled around, we gladly put away our books for another resting period. TENTH GRADE The Class of ’54 returned to the Halls of High enrolled as Sophomores in the fall of 1951. Our class officers for the year were: President: Jerry Broomfield, Vice President: Yalon Harris, Secretary: Elaine Grinnell, Treasurer: Gail Harmon. Our class sponsor was Robert Brunet. In October we initiated the Freshmen. The highlight of the season was the witnessing of the first football game on our athletic field. It was while we were enrolled as Sophomores that the newly-organized Student Council started. We chose Barbara Friday to represent our class. We sponsored the Bunny Hop , and the music was furnished by the Boudreau Brothers from Reese, Michigan. Those who left us during the year were: Donald Brown, Patricia Jacot, Charles Lockyer, Wanda Rich, Jacqueline Lyman, Douglas Richardson, Roberta Peet, Rex Stout, Mary Mulkeran, Myra Mulkeran. We ended the year by enjoying a picnic at Flint Park, Flint, Michigan. ELEVENTH GRADE In September, 1952, we were again standing on the threshold of education as we enrolled as Juniors. It was our first vear in the new addition of the school. Our sponsor was Robert Brunet. The students chose to head the class during the year were: President: Ann McSherry, Vice President; Yalon Harris, Secretary: Madolin Robinson, Treasurer: Margot Blackmore, Student Council Representative: Barbara Friday. This year was very prosperous and busy for us as Juniors. We began publishing the School Paper, and at Thanksgiving time we sponsored the Harvest Ball , with music furnished by the Saginaw High Dance Band. We also participated in the Freshman- Junior magazine sales. In April, 1953, we presented our Junior Play, Finders Creepers , which was a big suc- cess. In May we honored the Class of '53 by giving a Junior-Senior Banquet in their honor. The night after the banquet, we brought forth the social highlight of the year The Prom , The Lovliest Night Of The Year was our theme. Being Juniors meant electing a President of the Student Council from our class. From a field of four well-qualified candidates, we elected Milan Ignotov as President, and Madolin Robinson as Vice President. We then left behind us the halls of Mayville High, ending another chapter in the life of education put forth by a wonderful and deserving faculty and community. SENIOR CLASS In September, 1953, we finally enrolled at High as Seniors. The enrollment was complete with 43 students. We chose our class officers to guide us through our final year at Mayville High as follows: President; Raymond Schlattman, Vice-President: Nancy Leach, Secretary: Sue Graham, Treasurer: Margot Blackmore, Student Council Representative: Wayne Friday. Mr. Gohs was our class sponsor. During the first month of school we had our Senior pictures taken. In November we presented our Senior Play, Cheaper By The Dozen , which was very successful. We sponsored dances after the football and basketball games, and had charge of the candy sales. When January rolled around, we chose our annual staff, with Madolin Robinson as Editor-in-Chief, and Milan Ignotov as Assistant-Editor, and Sandra Bristol as Typist. In March we sponsored the Hillbilly Jamboree , from station WJR in Detroit. The class decided that we would go to New York City and Washington. D.C. on our Senior Trip. On May 13. the Juniors gave a banquet in our honor The next night. May 14. we danced to the music of Fred Gunsell’s Orchestra at the annual Junior-Senior Prom. We left Mayville on May 23, for our trip and went by bus to Detroit, where we boarded a tram and left for New York City, the largest city in the world, then on to the nation's capitol, Washington D.C. On Sunday, the 30th day of May, we filed into the auditorium to participate in one of the most cherished events of our High School career........the Baccalaureate. The highlight of our High School history came on June 3, 1954. On that night we walked slowly, yet proudly, to the stage in the auditorium of our fine school to receive our long-awaited diplomas. Perhaps as each one of us walked across the stage to receive our diploma, the rest of the class could see us whisper quietly good-by to the halls of education, good will, and friendship.....the halls of Mayville High School. Wayne Friday and Guy Leach 43 'Ti tCl s4 td feAfrutteitt We the Seniors of 1954 do hereby make and declare this our last will and testament. To the Juniors we bequeath Mr. Gohs office. We know you will be able to find as many uses for it as we did. To the Sophomores the joy and happiness we have experienced in our high school days. To the Freshmen we leave three more years in our beautiful halls of education. We know you will work as hard at learning as we did.

This makes our 20th one so far. Before we left we were leafing through my scrap-book to catch up on the events of our classmates of my acquaintances. Besides we had to pass the time while waiting for our respective husbands to arrive with the car and you know Men! One clipping that caught Barbara's eye was the one announcing the engagement and on coming marriage of Jerry Broomfield. You remember Jerry, the love-em-and-leave-em that's my motto, kid. He sure had us fooled. We didn't think he would ever get married, but he did. Now he has a wonderful wife and those three kids! Another startling article was the Grand Opening of Crosby's Dairy Bar. We could have understood a Brewery, but a Dairy Bar! Of course the Crosby we are speaking of is Charles Crosby better known as Chas., the life of all our parties. And when Gail Harmon made the headlines read Power's model has triplets, we were overjoyed for we thought she would never settle down and raise a family. The one that didn't surprise Barb in the least was when Milan became head professor of the General Motors' Tech, I won’t say I wasn't hoping for it but it was a surprise. When Miss Sue Graham, was crowned Miss Secretary of 1959 we weren't at all astonished for we all knew Sue would make a go of it in the business world. I beamed when we passed the birth announcements of my own two children, Ricki and Ginny Lynn. Jack Fox once known as the class flirt is better known as The Fox, writer of those famous mystery novels which you are probably familiar with. His style of writing is similar to that of the late Mickey Spilline. Ed Raymond, who was chosen as the best looking boy of our class, is now gracing movie theaters throughout the country with his handsome profile and masculine physique. Miss Barbara Friday's engagement to Italian Robert Russiti was in big headlines of an Italian newspaper. Barbara was visiting in Italy on her tour of Europe when she met Robert who was Editor of the newspaper in Rome. Barb and Bob have lived in the States for a number of years now and have 4 children, three boys and a girl. Ray Schlattman now is the successful farmer he had always hoped he would be. He supplies the milk for the Crosby Dairy. Richard Smith, remember the one who starred in most of the athletic events while in High School, just opened a new lumber company in Mayville. Guess whom he hired as his new secretary? Miss Sweet and Neat of '54 — Nancy Leach. Margie Blackmore, after going to college for two years, finally made up her mind to get married to Ronald Knoll. They are now living in Flint where Margie is leading a full life, teaching at Northern, keeping house, and keeping tabs on two healthy children. Clare Bodeis who had no ambition before leaving High School is now a Captain in the Foreign Legion. Fred and Aileen Just called to tell us they would be a little late and not to wait for them because one of the babies swallowed a safety pin. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hazen, the former June Duncan, attended the first service of Rev. Val Duncan at the Sec- ond Church in Rich. Donna Friday won a trip for two to the beautiful blue Hawaii. The trip was sponsored by the Wasieiewski tooth- pick corporation. Wayne Friday, former president of Silverwood Michigan, was elected Campaign manager of the Republican party for the fiscal year. Jerry Gouine has taken quite a load from Mr. Jones he is the new typing instructor at Mayville High School. Ironic isn't it that Elaine Grinnell who was voted as the girl with the best figure in '54 should end up as secretary to Mr. Powers of the Powers Modeling agency. Jim Hart, owner of the Katy-Did race track, who also owns his own string of thoroughbred horses, lost another purse when his horse Elastic was late again. Captain Dick McNinch, of the S S Marr was commended for his brave rescue of the ship Nautilas which was un- able to weather the rough sea. Captain McNinch managed to save the entire crew. George Leach, Motorcycle Cop, was transferred to a new post. His son, George III is following in his father’s footsteps as he has competed in several motorcycle races. Tressa JohnsonRN who is employed by Norman Kilmer, the new dentist in Silverwood, accidently gave a patient laughing gas instead of anesthesia. The patient exclaimed later that it was the first good laugh he had in years. Ann McSherry and Pat Nowland are swimming instructors at the local YWCA. Their swimming teams won State championship. The high dive championship is now held by Marie Teets, the daughter of Shirley and Duane Teets. Mr. and Mrs. Boyd Teeple and Mr. and Mrs. Herman Hormel announce the engagements of their daughters Margaret Ann Teeple and Elaine Hormel. A double wedding is planned for June 20. Mrs. Luman Barry, the former Madolin Robinson, was the first to enter her children in the Day Nursery founded by Elsie Richardson and Donna Klinesmith. Marg Weihl always had a secret ambition to be a famous Brain Surgeon. She never really dreamed she would one day be known through out the world for her outstanding work. We never thought, when Sandra Bristol came to Mayville, she would wind up being a farmers wife and a mother of two healthy children. Joyce Mclnally was voted the Best Dancer of '54. She is now an instructor at the Arthur Murray Dancing Studio in New York. David Seddon, the owner of the Seddon Sunnybrook Farms, has lost five head of young heifers to some unknown animal lurking in that vicinity. Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Salisbury and family have established permanent residence in West Haven, a new township in Lapeer County. Greta Stout is now a grandmother and Gerald is kept busy by his frisky grandson. Greta was the first of the class to become grandmother. AHHHHHHHH at last the men have arrived so now we will close the book of future events. 45 7 Se u vi 7 4 On May 23, thirty three happy and excited Seniors accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Tony Gohs left on a six day trip to New York City and Washington D.C. Leaving by train from Detroit Sunday afternoon we arrived at the famous Grand Central Station in New York on Monday morning. There a bus was waiting to take us to the Hotel New Yorker. After checking into the hotel the morning was free, many went shopping while others went sight seeing. In the afternoon a thirty-five mile sight seeing cruise was taken around Manhattan Island in a sight seeing yacht. Among the many things seen on this cruise were the Statue of Liberty. Brooklyn Navy Yards, United Nations Building, and the palisades. That evening we enjoyed a first run movie and a stage show at the Radio City Music Hall, then a walk down Broadway passing Times Square. Tuesday morning we went on another tour of upper and lower Manhattan. Among the various things seen on this tour were Grants Tomb, The Little Church around the Corner, The Bowery, Harlem, Wall Street, Central Park, Chinatown, Stork Club, Fulton Fish Market, and Macys. In the afternoon we boarded the train for Washington D.C. Upon arrival in Washington a bus took us to the Hotel Willard. That evening we dined at the Casino Royal, Washington’s finest night club. Later some of us enjoyed a bus tour of the illuminated buildings of the city. Wednesday morning was spent at the Capitol Building. Congressional Library, Supreme Court and White House. That afternoon we made short stops at the Jefferson and Lincoln Memorials, crossed over the Potomac River into Virginia to Arlington National Cemetery,liere we visited the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and witnessed the changing of the Guard. Then a beautiful drive to Alexandria, Virginia, one of the oldest settlements in United States, and on to Mount Vernon, home of George and Martha Washington. That evening was spent at Loews Capitol Theater. Thursday morning was free in which most of us went shopping. That afternoon we boarded the sight seeing bus where we visited the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, Washington Monument, and Smithsonian Institute. Our tour ended at the Union Station Depot where we boarded the train to bring us back to Michigan. We arrived in Detroit Friday morning at 8:15 A.M. There a Mayville bus picked us up and we returned home at 1 that afternoon. We were a group of tired but happy people, a trip none of us will ever forget.
