®lje H0empl|ian 1976 In honor of our Bicentennial, the yearbook staff is dedicating this publication to our Heritage. Past iSruieuis: Have you ever thought about how far reaching the consequences of a local meeting can be. Memphis High School exists because of the first organized meeting of taxpayers living in Richmond Township, held April 1 7, 1 844. At this particular meeting, they had voted to hold classes in a building just south of the All Saints Church. The building on this location was probably built before 1 844 and used as a school by private citizens of Memphis. The teacher was a Mr. Bird. In the fall of 1 857, this school was moved to the corner of Bordman and Belle River Roads. Later, a second school was built adjacent to this for the ed- ucation of older students. This school was well- known as the “South School.” In the fall of 1849 the Riley Township school district was organized. In 1851 a school was built on the lot directly across from the United Methodist Church on Maple Street. It was known as the “North School.” In 1863, the two districts combined and in 1866 built the “Union School” on the site of the old high school on Potter Street. It was a rather large edifice, consisting of two rooms on the main floor and two rooms on the second. The chemical lab in this school was in a cloakroom under the stairway. The rest rooms w ere roughly 30 feet away from the school. In 1883, Thomas Clegg built his car. It was the first car built in Michigan. If it had not blown up be- tween Lambs and Masters Roads on its return trip from Emmett, Memphis could have been the car capital of the world. In 1888, Memphis graduated one Adrian Joyce who founded the Glidden Paint Company. The 1880 graduating class consisted of three per- sons. In 1898, graduation requirements were changed from completing ten grades to completing twelve grades. Union School Original School fUempliis Community §djools In 1911, the people of Memphis felt that they needed a new school. The old Union School was then removed and a new one erected in 1913. It was to be an up-to-date building in every respect: electric lights and heated indoor bathrooms. Around this time, the junior class was obligated to take the senior class somewhere, usually on a pic- nic. One year the juniors took the seniors on a three- day trip to Niagara Falls. This started the tradition of the junior class sponsoring the senior prom. In 1920 the Memphis Boys’ Basketball Team won district honors. Through the years 1923, 1924, and 1925, the Memphis Girls’ Basketball Team was beaten only three times. During these years the sport was played in a barn. 1913 §rliool Building In 1954 the Elementary School was built in a field on the west edge of town. In 1966, the present high school was erected along side ot the Elememtary School. This was to be a very commodious building with rooms for every subject. When it came time to move, the students massed and did the moving t hem- selves. Present {Building To Dream the Impossible Dream Does it Sound That Good Mr. Swain?

The Senior Class of the Mempliis High School have won for themselves renown as actors and actresses. Their first attempt was “The Crazy Idea given in February, 1910. This was a success finan- cially as well as otherwise. (Prgamiattmt §tufcent Student Congress improved student life in several areas this year. The first activity was Homecomming Week, tradi- tionally organized by Student Congress. This year brought many changes and additions to the “Spirit Week schedule, which was extended to include class competition in a tug of war, tricycle race, egg throw, sack race, wheel barrow race, and to cap it off a powderpuff football game. The dance was semi-formal and stag. It involved more students than ever be- fore. The custom of electing a homecoming king was reinstat- Congress ed. The float and hall competition remained. Other activities were as follows: Several Band dances have been held, buses to games were sponsored, and a solution to the smoking problem was attempted. President Larry Morris, advisor Mr. Hopp, the other officers, and other members combined to make this an effective year for Student Congress and to improve Student rights in M. H. S.

Memphis High School Band finds its roots in a small ensemble formed in 1S23 consisting of three people. This group grew into the first orchestra under the direction of A. E. Basncy throughout the late 1920’s and early 1930’s. Our first marching band made its appearance in the late 30’s with Mr. A.J. Bourroughs as its iofo , ;. i forms ’ con , sistin g °f a cape and hat were purchased by the school in 1942. The Instrumental music program flourished in the early forties boasting an orchestra of nearly eighty players, complete with strings. A rapid succession of new directors highlighted the fifties and sixties until the band was discontinued in 1967 Our present organization was formed in 1969 with 22 members. $floui . . . We have a senior high band numbering 40 players, a junior high band numbering 45 players, and a jazz band of 20 players, complete with new uniforms.

The Debate program has been steadily building. In addition to an improved league record, they went to District competition for the first time. Memphis was represented by affirmative speakers Jim Chism and Penny Moran, and negative speakers Michele Wendling and Phillis LeTarte. Jim Chism was second in total speaker points in district competition, which made him eligible for the John S. Knight Free Press Scholarship Contest. Michele Wendling received a trophy for finishing third in the speaker points average ratings for league competition. Uebate Jflaslfback 1926 . . .

We were off to a fast start with two victories but had to settle for an overall record of four wins and Five losses. Through several trying situations 1 believe the cream of the crop rose above to make the season a success and allow us to take a step further in establishing our overall football program. Discipline is THE important ingredient in any team endeavior and our young men, who chose to finish a project they began, did just that with a season ending triumph over a state rated football team. This year’s team provides solid groundwork for our entire football program because of the trials that were endured and the many opponents (not only opposing team) that were conquered. The individuals that made up our team were the reason our season was a Fine one. Performance comes from the heart and our young men who took part in our big last game win gave us great feelings in preparing for the 1976 football season. Mr. Eugene F.

At year’s end the record stood at 1-13. The 75 season should prove to be more rewarding with experience returning. This past golf season was a very en- joyable and rewarding one. A season that established a school record of a low total score of 165 and individual low record score of a par 36 fired by Wally Sinda.

Under Mrs. Jef- fery the Varsity Honeybees had a very successful season in 1975. For the fourth year in a row they were undefeated in league play and also took the Class “C” District champion- ship. The Honeybees outscored there opponents on the aver- age of 38 points per game. Their record for the last four years stands at 66 wins against 9 losses. Their success can be attributed especially to the determination and desire each and every player on the team showed during games and at practice.

I am challenged by the opportunity of rebuilding a basketball program, which has been down in recent years. Last year’s team, coached by Mr. La- Fave made some strong steps in the right direction.

I firmly believe the important things is not where we are now, but in what direc- tion we are moving. basketball JR ash bark 1353 As winter began to spread its commanding grip on dear old Memphis High, there were twenty- eight boys who faithfully reported for basketball to attempt to build a successful team from the re- mains of last year’s unsuccessful squad.

In addition to winning 4 dual meets, the team finished 3rd in the Almont Tournamnnt, 3rd in the League, and 2nd at the Regionals. The wrestlers collected 19 medals including 2 first place golds for League champions; Randy Peters at 1 26 lbs. and Dick Johnson at 145 lbs. Tom Semos took the 2nd place silver at the League, while Russell Cook, Bryon Peters, Mike Bishop and Donald Blake captured the 3rd place bronze medals. Memphis qualified five wrestlers to compete for the State Championship. They are Ed Winters, Randy Peters, Dick Johnson, Tom Semos, and Don Blake. This year’s squad was captained by Donald Blake and the 1975-76 most valuable wrestler, Randy Peters. Next year’s team promises to be even stronger in its 3rd year of com- petition.

These students participated in extracurricular activities and carried the academic program of the average senior. Martin Serre, on the left of the above picture, lived with the Donald Cum- mings family. He is originally from Mery sur Oise, France. Oscar Clement, on the right, stayed with the Rae Schott family. His home is Osomo, Chile. The Youth for Understanding program sponsored these two students. The goal of the program is to let foreign students have the experience of living in average American homes. The two students have made an important addition to Memphis High School, and we have enjoyed having them. Our school was enlivened because of these students and we would like to express our appreciation for their visit. — RICHIE BAILEY PAM BARTMANSKI BONNIE BURNS 6S JOE C1ARAMELLA MARLENE DUB IK AS 66 TIM EVANS ROSEMARY GRACE 67 GARY JUIP ANNE LA FONTAINE 68 JOE LASKOWSKI ROBERT MCDOWELL KATHY MCMANN DIANE MCNUTT 69 JEANNIE MCNUTT DENISE MEADE DEBBIE MILLER DONNA MORAN KEN MENTZ BRAD MORGAN GEORGE MORGAN LARRY MORRIS 70 CAROL NOWAKOWSKI BOBBIE JEAN PALING AL PHILLIPS 71 CINDY ROSS WALLY SIND A 72 KELVIN SPENS RAY WALTERS DEBBIE STANLEY ANTOINETTE TORELLO KATE WESSEL 73 ifuniors Treas.

He then went on to receive his Masters Degree in 1959, and a Specialist Degree in School Administration from Eastern Michigan Uni- versity in 1966. He would now like to extend this message to the Class of ’76. “You and the nation have one thing in common: you are going to celebrate an anniversary together. Our nation’s bicentennial celebration has no greater importance in your personal life than the knowledge that you have completed requirements for graduation from high school. My hopes for you are that it is just the first step in a very successful personal life. Mr. Russell Mr. Keasling has a Bachelors of Arts Degree which he received from Roberts Wesleyan College. He received his Masters Degree from the State University of New York at Brockport. He would like to extend to the seniors of ’76 his wishes for the future. “Through many efforts we at Memphis High School have tried to prepare and guide you for your future. Now it becomes your responsibility to seek those experiences, through your own efforts, which will give you a fulfilled and rewarding life. During the past two years, I have come to know you much better and have thoroughly enjoyed working with you and your class. With each of you goes my heartfelt wishes for a most successful future.” Mr. Keasling Administrative Assistant: Dave Wade Title One: Nina Powers, Jim Rhodes Superintendent’s Secre- tary: Debbie West- rick Business Secretary: Louise Eldred High School Secretary: Sue Hadden High School Secre- tary: Linda Berlinger 97 MR.

The days of the wooden and steel vaults have passed away and the everlasting waterproof and air tight cement burial vaults have come into use. They are far superior to the old wooden boxes and to the steel vaults. They are the only vaults that will resist water and the only ones that will keep ghouls from breaking it open. A vault wholly of steel has proved unsatisfactory as they will rust while the INTERLOCKING STEEL REINFORCED CEMENT BURIAL VAULT is as lasting as the hills and at the same time its cost will not preclude its use for every burial. It is not only just as good but better than any vault of any material that has heretofore been produced as it is airtight and keeps out moisture, ver- min, roots of trees, and is certainly desireable as a place in which the remains of friends and relatives are to rest. Manufactured in three sizes, weights running from fifteen to twenty-four hundred pounds. If you want the best, purchase the INTERLOCKING VAULT from your undertaker.
