The first thing we did to start off our career was to elect Dick Lee president. To assist Dick, Sal Gibb was elected vice president: Dorothy Brown, secretary-treas- urer: Shirley Town, girl representative: and Tom Maher, boy representative. Ah, yes, with these hands leading us, how could we go astray??? CWe're still wondering our- selves.j The first big social event that we freshmen had was a prominent part in the Home- coming. For this gala affair we were sup- posed to choose one of our many outstanding beauties to represent the freshman class in the Queen's court. Of course it was a difficult job to make our choice but Sal Gibb came out with top honors, and she did O.K. at that. The time was coming when we were really going to show the school what smart little freshmen are made of, by throwing a party. Right now we will stop and tell you that that was the first defeat of the freshman class. lt wasn't our fault Chonest, we triedj but we just couldn't sell enough tickets for our dance. Well, there wasn't too much we could do but accept defeat proudly, and vow to do better next year. SOPHOMORE YEAR Still green, but now we can say that there is one class that is just a little bit greener. Ah, sophomores!! We really think that life's wonderful. Just like last year, again we're going down to the auditorium to cast a vote for our class officials. Ah, each year we get more involved in politics. We elected Johnny English as president: Lloyd Friedle, our vice president: Jo Bendon, secretary-treasurer: Kay Morris, girl representative, and Dick Lee. boy representative. Ah, what a class. This year we were bound to go places Cand that we didj. Cf course, by this time Homecoming was old stuff to us, so we chose Bonnie Klingbail to represent us in the Queen's court. My, oh my, that court certainly had some beau- ties who really dazzled us. Homecoming sure is wonderful!!! Do you remember the Soph Star Stam- pede ? No wonder you do, for that was one of the best parties in 1944, and, nat- urally it was given by the Sophomore class. For weeks the kids were running around get- ting everything in readiness for the big Ranch affair. Bruce Hinkle and his Al- manians furnished the music for the gala affair, and during the intermission some of 30 the sophomores showed what talent they had to offer. Four of the outstanding entertain- ers for the evening were Jo Bendon, Lloyd Eriedle, Ann Stanford and Cliff Hilderly. who sang their original composition, The Soph Star Stampede. We now felt that we had proven to the upperclassmen that we, too, were capable of showing others a good time as well as having one ourselves. Well, by now the flowers are coming out and it is the end of another school year. The spring fever has come and gone, and as we write our exams we dream of the Wonderful time that we'll have next year. JUNIOR YEAR At last!! We are now considered UPPER- CLASSMEN, and what a thrill. Now we can look down upon the green freshmen in sheer pity. About the first thing we did after spending a wonderful summer was to truck to the auditorium and elect Jim Adams president of our class. Dick Haley was our vice president, and again Jo Bendon was Secretary-treasurer, but Mary Clulo was elected to the position when Jo went to Texas. Bonnie Klingbail and Willie Gay were our gifl and boy representatives, respec- tively. We chose Dorothy Burke to represent us in the Queen's court that reigned over the Homecoming festivities. February Fantasy was the dance that everyone was talking about and, naturally, it was sponsored by the Junior class. Of course, being big Juniors, it was our year to fete the outgoing seniors at a party, and that we did. It was really a super dance, too. Elmer Bierman and his orchestra played out at the Country Club for the gala affair which was really something for the Seniors to remember. Ah, yes, our Junior year is over, and we leave the institution of learning with hopes that we will be able to act as dignified as all Seniors SENIOR YEAR Shhh, genius at work. Now we're Seniors. and after three years of having our fun we've settled down and are now in the classifica- tion of persons commonly known as Eager Beavers. We started our political campaign by electing Willie Gay, president: Jake Frue- hauf, vice president: Mary Clulo, girl repre- sentative, and Bud Davis, boy representative. Sally Gibb was chosen to fill Mary Besha- toor's place as secretary-treasurer. This year the Senior class sponsored the Homecoming festivities, and Iva June Howe was chosen from the class to reign as Varsity Queen, while Doris Bowen was the other class rep- should. The I946 Vic resentative. After a glorious football victory over Owosso, we all attended the Homecom- ing dance which featured Bob Spencer and his orchestra. Ah, a glorious day, and to think that it would be our last Homecoming. Well, after the gay festivities we again set- tled down to our studies. Shirley Town was chosen by the Senior students and teachers to be the D.A.R. rep- resentative. This award was given on the basis of scholastic record, leadership ability. and personality. Now Commencement week, and gradu- ation. Four years we've spent here, and now we will leave these halls behind and face life. Historically yours, PAT IRISH MARY CLULO KATE MORRIS CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of 1946, do will and bequeath the following liabilities to the contemporary underclassmen: Bill Sirrine leaves his Shadow to Stretch Lee.

Reporter About Town Well, yesterday the old reporter dropped in on Mr. and Mrs. Fred Piegols and the twins. Mrs., Piegols is the former Bev Twinning. When asked how they were going to spend their summer, the Piegols informed me that they would spend a .quiet KH summer at home. Down at the Community Cen- ter things are really popping lately. Marjory Pope and Geraldine Peter- man are teaching some kind of les- sons but, because of the crowd, I couldn't get close enough to see what it was all about.

The cause of the hre is uncertain, but it is be- lieved that Ed Wenglikowski. head of the chemistry department, was demonstrating to his class the im- portance of fire protection when the accident occurred. The High School was unprepared to meet the emergency, according to Jce Morrison, fire inspector. Mor- rison says he discovered that the tire alarm system was not working because it had been worn out by practice drills. It was impossible for Principal Dale Rogers to tele- phone the fire department because Betty Murphy, the oflice girl, was busy conversing with Curtis Thay- er. So our gallant principal, taking it upon himself to save lVl.H.S.. ran all the way up town to the fire department, shouting, 'APire, fire, fire! Upon arriving at the fire, Fire- men John English.

Missing-Jim Adamsx. letter Winners. Football Season-l945 Cn August 30, 1945, Stanley J. Kuick took over the reins of Midland High's foot- ball team, being greeted by 50 prospective players. Numbered among them were eight lettermen and two letter winners from Flint Northern, Don Kuick and Nate Howison. Coach Kuick and his assistant, Ray Patter- son, were faced with the toughest schedule Midland ever had. As the Chemics approached their first game not much was expected from them but a cer- tain spirit was apparent. They then steam- rollered over Saginaw S.S.P.P., 35-0, to open the season. The Parochials put up little re- sistance, as Midland scored at will, not having to punt once during the game. They then met Alpena on Midland's field and defeated them, 20-12. This was the only time that the Wildcats were defeated or scored against in their season. 52 The following week Owosso came to Midland and were defeated, l3-0. Midland started to show signs of a great aerial attack as both touchdowns were scored on passes. In this game Jim Adams received a slight concussion on the opening kickoff and was available for only limited duty throughout the remainder of the season. The Chemics traveled to Mt. Pleasant for a game under the lights where their aerial show tabbed them as one of the better teams in the state. Completing seven passes in J row before failing to connect, the Chemics were on the long end of a 20-6 score at the end of the first quarter. This ended the scoring until the fourth quarter when Mc- Candless, following Mt. Pleasant's second score, lofted his third touchdown pass of the game, two to Bradley and one to LaFore. Kuick's pass to Bradley accounted for the other score, 27-13. The 1946 Vic Front row, left to right-R. Patterson. coach: B. Inman, D. Owen, L. Shangle, C. Hopper, J. Sullivan, G. Inman, J. Conboy, E.

Football Season-l945 After a week's layoff, Midland moved into Bay City Central's stadium where they trounced the Wolves, 25-0, in another night game. McCandless led the scoring with two touchdowns and a pass to Bradley for an- other but was overshadowed by Kuick's 51- yard open field dash for the fourth T.D. The victorious Chemics then went to Sagi- naw Eastern for the third night game of the season. Don Kuick played his best game of the season, figuring in three of the touch- downs and kicking four extra points. The feature of this game was the superb playing of Midland's two ends, Howison and Brad- ley. Besides consistently smashing Saginaw interference and still hauling down the ball carrier, they each scored, Howison's coming on a 50-yard end around, and Bradley's on a pass from Kuick. The scoring was climaxed The 1946 Vic by Kuick's 30-yard pass to Jim Adams who raced into the end zone. This ended the scoring for the game and left the final count at 28-0. The next week Alma came to Midland with a record of having beaten the Chemics by one point in each of the past three seasons. The Chemics were determined that one point would not separate the two teams this year. That the Chemics saw to this was evident in the score, 54-19. This ended the first unde- feated season for Midland since 1932. They were rated sixth in the state among Class A schools, with Kuick making second team All-State, and McCandless, Bradley, and Howison making Honorable Mention. The highest honor the team could bestow went rightfully to Nate Howison when he was elected honorary captain. 53 Reserve Football Team Back row, left to right-Hal Purves, Ward Sanford, Jack Robertson, William Kartz, Bruce Coin, Robert Clark, Robert Carrier, William Churchheld, Cecil LaMee.

The next game of the year was played on the home court against Alpena. Midland was able to collect its second consecutive win by a score of 27-14. The Chemic quintet suffered its first de- feat from Arthur Hill. This game was played on a foreign court which had the new kidney-shaped backboards. These facts made it difficult for our boys to hit the mesh. The final score was 42-30. The Lansing Sexton team came to Mid- lagd for the next game. This strong team gave the Chemics too much opposition: how- ever, it was a very close game. The final decision of 29-24 Went to Sexton. In the fifth game of the season the Chemics traveled to Bay City and met defeat by a score of 44-29. The Barclaymen came back to down Owosso on the Trojans' court, 41-25: then Alpena met our team for the second time and lost to us by the score of 47-30. The 1946 Vic The undefeated Alma team was our next victory, and the Panthers bowed to a 36-27 score. Owosso came back looking for revenge but was sent back with another defeat pinned to them when the Chemics toppled them over. 58-23. The Mt. Pleasant Oilers played on our court for the next game and were swamped by the M.H.S. quintet, 68-21. Coming from behind in the last quarter, the Chemics nosed out Alma with a 40-37 score on the Alma court. The Chemics then went to Lansing and lost a second time by a score of 44-23. A crippled Chemic team met the Bay City Wolves here but won by a score of 40-29. The Arthur Hill Lumberjacks traveled here but went home with a defeat tacked to them when the Chemics spurred in the last quarter to win, 46-39. In the last game of the season the Mt. Pleasant Oilers met defeat again, with the Chemics winning, 37-22, to raise their sea- son's total to ll wins and 4 losses. In the regional tournament the Chemics defeated the Bay City Wolves in the semi- finals, 38-22, but lost in the finals to Arthur Hill, 48-32. 57 V-f .iewkm T l Standing-J. LaMott, G.

The season's opening game with Saginaw High was a defeat for Midland, 6 to 5, even though Midland was leading in the last inning, 5 to 3. Inexperi- ence was the reason for this defeat. A week later Midland again lost by one run, 3 to 2, at Pinconning. Here again lack of experience showed up, allowing Pinconning to score three runs on one hit. In the first home game Midland came through with a 5-to-4 victory over Saginaw High. The lack of misplays in this game showed how much the Chemics had improved since the beginning of the season. Five more varsity games are still to be played. Two with Saginaw Arthur Hill, two with Mt. Pleasant, and one with Pinconning. A clean sweep of these games will again prove that Midland has one of the good teams in the state. 58 The 1946 Vic First row-B. Moe, J. Allswede. J. Archer, J. Ducham, J. Fruehauf, B. Bloomfield. D.

The first thing the staff did was to sell subscription tickets which enabled each student to receive all 16 issues of the Vic which appeared on every other Friday during the school year. All pictures published in the paper were taken by the staff's own photogra- phers, Frances Milks and Morris Courtright, who were trained by Mr. Harold Tweedie. Throughout the year the paper exchanged publications with 14 other schools in Michigan and were kept on file to be read by the students in M.H.S. The Vic was entirely self-supported by the selling of subscriptions and advertisements which is very unusual for a school paper, since it cost S45 an issue to be printed. February l, after the Mt. Pleasant basketball game, the staff gave a dance called the Hubba Hop, for which Jimmy Dobson's orchestra of Bay City played. Approximately two hundred dollars was made at this dance to which the Mt. Pleasant students were invited. Editor Dolores Howard, who graduated in January and left in the early part of February, was replaced by Sue Johnstone, a senior, and the former business manager of the paper. The 1946 Vic lie .'

It is the Council's duty to pass all regulations for school parties, assemblies, and activities. The Council also tries to promote good feelings between the students, faculty, and other schools. This year the Council started the year OH by presenting a memorial service for Edwin G. Huff, our late principal. They also sponsored the yearly magazine drive, sold booster pins, sold hot dogs at the Alma football game, set up the Edwin G. Huff Memorial Loan Fund, established a system for clearing money- making concessions, and presented Dr. Harlen Tarbell, world-famous magician. Each year the Student Council sets up all party dates for the school dances, and purchases the honor and band awards that are given out each spring. Bonnie Klingbail, the elected secretary, was unable to continue her duties as secretary the last semester because she worked mornings. She was replaced by Lois McMillan.

A record crowd of over 500 people were present. Two hundred of these were freshmen who came as guests and joined the festivities of the first party of the year. The cabinet returned from a week at Camp Hayowent-ha filled with ideas for the coming year which included a plan for bringing Dr. Glen Fry to our school. In early November he came and the entire student body was calling it the school's best assembly. He also remained in the evening to be the speaker at the Father-and-Son Banquet. The Hi-Y sponsored two chapel services: one at the Thanksgiving season, and one during the Holy Week. Soft, sweet music, dim lights, and a quiet, balmy, spring atmosphere all added to make the fifth annual Hi-Y Spring Party a real high light in the social calendar of M.H.S. April came along, and with it came the Hi'Y Minstrel Show, giving a fine evening of entertainment of the Southern folklore. Also included in the program were some excellent speakers. social meetings, Union Church services, and recreational meetings. This year's officers are: President .,.......,.... ,..,. .
