Out of the student body was chosen a group to act as monitors. This group is headed each year by the vice-president of the Student Council. Monitors are im- portant in keeping order in the corridors, welcoming visitors, and helping new students. For the second year, the Student Council staged a magazine sale. A large part of the proceeds went into the fund which will be used to enlarge our football stadi- um. The remainder will be used to purchase -a camera for the journalism depart- ment. Prizes were awarded to high salesmen in both junior and senior high. Each year the Student Council appoints a committee to plan the Honor Banquet. Only students maintaining grades no lower than a B together with those who have made special 'achievements in athletics or other organizations during the year are privileged to attend. The appointment of representatives to the Border Cities League meetings is another responsibility of Student Council. The MHS students who were elected officers of the League were: Pete Becker, vice-president, Whit Gray, secretary, and Dorothy Smetana, treasurer. Other representatives were appointed to attend various youth conferences and programs throughout the state. Contributions of Student Council funds were made this year to the blind children of Europe and the March of Dimes. These funds also made possible the sponsoring of the annual Sadie Hawkins Dance. The officers, who were advised by Miss Dorothy W-ood, elected by MHS students, and served throughout the year were: John Kemmerling, president, Dick Waltz, vice-president, Dorothy Smetana, secretary, and Shirley Anderson, treasurer. ..4..

Ron Marten, John Kressbach. Dan Mon-in. Ron Haveraneck, Waynn Yoas As in previous years, the business staff was the fiscal agent for the student body. This is one of the few schools in Michigan that has an organization of this type. The boys who belong to the staff are able to gain experience in handling money and dealing with people. The staff's main duty consists of collecting money and keeping records for the Student Association. Each member has at least one homeroom which he checks during the third hour. He collects and counts the money and then turns it over to another boy to check. As a homeroom turns in its money a boy crosses it off the list. This is completed by fourth hourg a boy then delivers the money to one of the banks in town. Checking and copying the homeroom records for the Student Association is also part of their job. Along with this goes the collecting of tickets at various school functions, such as football and basketball games, swimming meets, the plays, the operetta, and several special assemblies held during the course of the school year. Following the athletic events, the tickets are sorted and returned to the home- rooms along with the weekly Lotus Leaf tickets. Throughout the year the business staff also collected money for the Red Cross, the Community Chest, and the Senior Issue. Fourteen members of the business staff will graduate this year. They will be replaced next fall by junior boys who are able to meet the specifications. This year the business staff is headed by Bill Kaper, manager. He is aided by Don Medley, assistant manager. Mr. Lawrence Alto is the director. -5- Lotus Leaf First row: Don Atkinson, George Tiegs, Pele Becker, Jean Rosenbalrn, Francella Edmondson, Dolly Cohn, Sally Kohler, Joanne Chanady, Joe Sterling.

This year it was decided that the Lotus Leaf staff should follow a new system. In former years no academic credit was given to the staffg consequently all work on the paper had to be done outside of school hours. Starting in September of 1949 the staff became a class and now they receive full credit. This system has given the staff an opportunity to institute a new policy. It gave them a ch-ance to talk over the needed improvements. This year they have tried to make the paper be an influence upon the students and to bring to light con- troversial questions. To try to make the paper representative of the whole school, the staff has given the student a chance to voice his ideas in Writer of the Week, K'Letters to the Editor, and The Questionnaire. These human interest features tend to make a wider reading public and to let the student speak through the staff to the other students. This year the paper shied away from the light, social articles and brought forth a junior high column and editorials from the entire staff. The editorials were dis- cussed and points agreed upon before they were published. Not only has the reading material been changed, but also the general make-up has been streamlined. This included freak headlines, original art work, more white space, and movement of the name plate. The Lotus Leaf has been under the direction of Pete Becker, editor-in-chiefg Sally Kohler, Jean Rosenbalm and George Tiegs, page editorsg Francella Edmonson, Dotty Cohn, Don Atkinson and Jo Chanady, assistant editorsg Joe Sterling, pho- tographerg Carl Herkimer, assistant photographerg Julia Gibson, art editorg Carey May, circulation managerg and Miss Veronica Larson, faculty adviser. To become a reporter each student had to have eight articles or 25 printed inches and two humorous featurettes. All 23 students of the beginning journalism class became reporters during the year. -5- Senior Issue First row: Pat Shauf, Joe Sterling, Paula Kessel, Vernon Lapps, Katherine Zeisler.

A class period, academic credit, modernistic make-up, and a new and different cover have been factors in the experiment with this year's Senior Issue. It was decided at the end of last year to give this publication a class period so that the staff could work as a unit and have an opportunity to express and edit their ideas. Many changes have been made in this year's make-up. By reducing the amount of writing and having more pictures, the book is following the yearbook style intro- duced last year. Placing the senior section at the back and putting all activities in a directory are in keeping wih the modern trend. A white padded cover completes the look of this year's Senior Issue. For the first time a sales campaign was conducted by the staff. As a result of this campaign the students of Monroe High School were able to receive a 72 page book. The campaign not only depended upon the support of seniors or senior high, but upon junior high as well. This support of junior high enables them to have a section of their own. The staff of the Senior Issue was composed of thirteen members, each contri- buting his share to the book. This group, responsible for the publication of the 1950 Senior Issue, was headed by Pat Shauf, editor-in-chief. Assistant editors were Barbara Paxson and Paula Kessel. The remainder of the staff was composed of: Katherine Zeisler and Janice Everett, activities editors, Don Wilson, sports editor, Shirley Robinson, copy editor, Pat Birch, make-up editor, Vernon Lapps, business manager, Charles Zanes, circulation manager, Joe Sterling, chief photographer, and George Stoner and Carl Herkimer, assistant photographers. The staff was guided by their adviser, Miss Veronica Larson. The sports editor was taken ill second semester and at the time of the group picture was home in bed. This is the reason for the individual picture of him. -7- Monitors First row: Delores Kolino. Lea Velva Davis. Pat Perhatch, Connie Hubbard, Ruth Fulkeraon, Faye Waddell, Mary Mahn.

This important group of students was chosen to serve MHS throughout the year by learning good citizenship and transferring this knowledge to the other students. The main duty of a monitor is to prevent any unnecessary noise or disturbance in the halls. Welcoming the many visitors and businessmen who come here is next in importance. They also help new students who are unaccustomed to the ways of MHS and have questions to ask. This year the new plan of locking all doors except the main entrance after sixth hour was inaugurated. Its purpose was to see that no one wh-o would create a disturbance entered the school, The monitor system was headed by Dick Waltz, the vice-president of Student Councilg advised by Miss Dorothy Woody and maintained by the following captains: Ruth Fulkerson, Pat Perhatch, Lena Wurster, Dick Fulkerson, Erna Ehman and Jean Waitman.

Boots Club, Business Officials of Tomorrowf' afiiliated with the Retailing and Ofiice Club of Michigan, had a membership of 85 this year. This included ap- proximately 32 per cent of the Senior class, students in cooperative retailing and ofiice training courses. At the delegates conference in Battle Creek, Jo Schudel was elected state vice- president of the ofiice training division. Thirty Michigan schools, with a club membership of about 1200, were represented at this conference. Monroe club members also attended the state convention held at Western Michigan College in Kalamazoo. Social and business meetings included a picnic, a Christmas party, a bake-sale, and tours of local industries. This year for the first time the members decided to buy individual state club pins. Activities for the year were directed by the officers: Earl Pierce, president: Georgetta Myers, vice-president, Lenore Wilhelm, secretary, Doris Knapp, treasurer, and Miss Leone Cadwallader and Mr. A.

Because there was a need for a group of girls who would serve as ushers for school and community affairs, the Ushers' Club was first organized in October of 1934. The Ushers' Club has 24 members, 12 seniors and 12 juniors. They are chosen by the senior ushers in the junior year and may continue their membership through the senior year. ln order to meet requirements the girls must be poised, courteous, helpful, and have the time to give to the organization. There has been greater opportunity this year for the ushers to be more active. They sold programs at the football games and ushered for the Parent-Teacher con- ferences, the Thalian play, The Man Who Came to Dinner, Christmas Vesper Services, the four Community Concerts, two plays sponsored by the American Association of University Women, the series of Travelogue Talks, sponsored by the Kiwanians, and Civic choir and orchestra presentation of Handel's Messiah, Senior members with other senior girls also ushered for the senior play, R. U. R. The main purpose of the club is to be of service to the public. When on duty the ushers are expected to give out programs, find seats for the public, and run errands that may be asked of them. There is no special costume. They dress either in formals or dress clothes, whatever the occasion requires. This year the Ushers' Club has been under the leadership of Joanne Hendry, president: and Katherine Zeisler, secretary, with Miss Clara Marsh as faculty adviser. Because the club is only for serving the public they have no treasury and do not give social events, .-10.- Library Club First row: Miss Barth, Mary Musulln, Marge McIntyre, Pearl Reinhardt, Barbara Shipman, Marilyn Uhle, Janet Knopf.

The purpose of the Library Club is to encourage student interest and better student relationship in the library, and to give library assistants a better chance to become acquainted and to do things together. This year the club consisted of all the student library assistants. The girls planned a picnic in the fall to begin the school year. In November they had a well-planned book week program when they read and talked about different prize books of the year. A Christmas party in December, initiations in February and March, a spring party, and a picnic completed the social activities. After returning from a library convention, Miss Barth told the girls about the International Youth Library that was being organized in Munich, Germany. They became sufliciently interested in the project to have two fudge sales, one in late November, and one in early December, with the result that they obtained enough money to present the new library with a one-year subscription to the magazine Seventeen At the beginning of the school year, the club was divided into committees, each member on at least one committee. The program and the refreshment com- mittees took charge of the monthly meetings. The card committee sent cards to those members who were ill and flowers to those in special events. This committee was in charge of the Book Week activities. The 'art committee consisted of those girls who were interested in art. They have done almost all of the art work found in the library, including such things as posters, constructed in accordance with the season, bulletin board displays, and signs. This year's corps of oflicers included: Pearl Reinhardt, president, Marilyn Uhl'e, vice-president, Barbara Shipman, secretary, and Janet Knopf, treasurer. Miss Esther Barth was the f-aculty adviser. ...ll- Thalian Club Thalian Club members produced the play The Man Who Came to Dinner early in Decembcr.

This year the orchestra, with many new members, worked hard the first part of the year preparing various selections. The group then played for the Thalian Club play, The Man Who Came to Dinner, in December. Soon after that the orchestra played before and after the performance of Separate Rooms, a play sponsored by the American Association of University Women. The ensemble also played for the Senior Play, HR. U. R., and for the Clare Tree Major production, Toby Tyler. When the MHS choir, under the direction of Mr. Walter Jones, gave the operetta, The Chimes of Normandy, in May, the orchestra accompanied the singers. Plans are now being made for the Instrumental Varieties of 1950 which will be held late in May. The orchestra will have a large part in this production. The group also plans to play for the service on Baccalaureate Sunday. The music played by the orchestra is principally classical, but some semi- classical has been done. This year for the first time novelty numbers were played, The Syncopated Clock and The Cat and the Fiddle, a phoolish phantasy. were two favorites, Parents of the students in the orchestra are members of the Parents of Instru- mental Musicians, a group interesed in sponsoring and furthering improvement of instrumental music in MHS. These parents, in order to raise money, sponsored a concession at the football games, bake sales, two dances, and have asked for a concession at the county fair. Plans are being made to have ice cream socials also. The various activities of the orchestra, both school and civic, were directed by the officers and Mr. Frank Taylor. Serving as officers were: Maryann Kleitz, presidentg Mark Sisinyak, vice-presidentg Mary Lou Doederlein, secretaryg and Pauline Albright, treasurer. ...141 Dance Bond This year the dance band activities were started by a visit from David Gorn- ston, New York publisher, conductor, and composer. He visited the boppers' class early in October. Dancers at the school Halloween Dance were accompanied by the dance bancl. The band also entertained Lincoln Junior High students in November. The first dance band assembly of the year was given in conjunction with the Senior Issue staff. While records supposedly spun, the band played various se- lections. Senior Issue commercials were given between the numbers, both instru- mental and vocal. In April, a second assembly, with a different theme, was presented. During the course of the year, the boppers played for noon dancing, before and after both school and civic programs given in the auditorium, and for two dances given by the Parents of Instrumental Musicians. They also played for the Sadie Hawkins Dance and the Jean Jump. As the Senior Issue goes to press, plans are being made to present, in May, the Instrumental Varieties of 1950. Mr. Frank Taylor is in charge of all dance band activities. First picture: Vernon Lapps. Mr. Frank Taylor, Charles Ellison, Jack Kozlowski, Bill Wood. Second picture: Joe Smeltzer.

With the motto of Lest We Forget and the colors of Lotus yellow and green, the Monroe County Junior Historical Society is nearing the end of its second year. This club, which is affiliated with the Monroe County Historical Society and the Historical Society of Michigan, has done many things this year. Under the guidance of the officers and various committees, the society has had something different at each meeting. The first meeting in October was their annual birthday party, which was fol- lowed by a guest speaker in November. In December was the Christmas Tea, which mothers, members of the County Historical Society and a representative from thc State society attended. The events of the early part of the new year were a movie on Michigan in January, a Valentine party in February, a book review in March, and a meal with the Monroe County Historical Society at their annual dinner in April. During May, the society took a trip to Ann Arbor to visit the William Clements Library, the University Museum, and the Michigan Historical Collections. An election of ofiicers was also held in May. A picnic, to which all new prospective members will be invited, is being planned for June. The second Tuesday of every month, from seven to nine, the meetings of this organization are held. To carry on the meetings are the officers and the thirty-seven members. This year's slate of officers consists of: Janice Hunt, president, Marjorie Mclntyre, vice-president, Sydney Pyle, secretary-treasurerg and Kay Williams, historian. The sponsor, Mrs. Mildred McMichael, has received commendation for her work with this group, and under her leadership the society hopes to become still bigger and better. -2 2... jfnaugfc.

The opening encounter was an impressive 7-6 victory over Trenton. As the score indicates, it was a Hne show of defense by both squads. Tom Yinger made a 40-yard run for the Monroe score. A spot pass from Freeman Stickney to Sid Beau- regard provided the margin of the extra point. The next six games were not as bright, as the eleven sagged in consecutive de- feats. In two of these contests the breaks made the difference, as the Trojans out- played their opponents. The success of the season was established in the Adrian game. The Trojans defeated the Maple Leafs in a real thriller, 19-18. Yinger went over from the two for the first score. A completed pass, Stickney to Dick Fulkerson, made the all im- portant point. Yinger and Fulkerson made the other touchdowns. Bill Burkett captained the team and John Kohler was named most valuable. Prospects for next year are very bright. The gridders have a returning letter- man at every position except center. Captain-elect Ron Haveraneck leads this aggregation. The boys awarded varsity M's were: Captain Bill Burkett, John Kohler, Bill Land, Freeman Stickney, Dick Waltz, Dick Fulkerson, Don Siebarth, Ron Siebarth, Phil Douglas, George Tiegs, Richard Rhoades, Dale Klemz, Doug Liedel, Dale Hop- pert, Alan Knowles, Mike Voggenreiter, Vernon Lapps, and Wilburn Sutton, seniorsg Captain-elect Ron Haveraneck, Harry Hall, Art Price, Sid Beauregard, Tom Yinger, Bill Jarvis, Sherman Amolsch, and Doug Spencer, juniorsg Mark Sisinyak, sopho- more.

Coach Eugene Davis led the basketballers to a winning season and a second place linish in the BCL, establishing this squad as one of the outstanding teams in Monroe's history. Dick Fulkerson, who captained the team and was named most valuable, broke his own season scoring record by swishing 234 points through the nets. Dick also set a high school record of 507 points. To add to his honors, Fulkerson was chosen to the All-State third team. The other members proved to be outstanding either defensively or offensively. Sid Beauregard controlled the backboards well all year. Barney Kaiser found the range at midseason and hit the hoop consistently throughout the remaining games. Frank Barron and Gene McDaniel were instrumental in working the ball in, and both played excellent defensive games. Part of the team's success was due to greater reserve strength. Second team members could be used more than in previous seasons. Bill Land, Don Whited, Don Ethridge, Bill Burkett, Bob Woodward and Nick Basile all had their moments of glory. Exciting Trojan victories were: the Wyandotte game, when Gene McDaniel's two free throws gave Monroe a 36-34 victory, the game in which the cagers slipped by Highland Park 41-40 with all the players making a good showingg and Bob Wood- ward's sparking the team to victory over Fordson 35-29 in his first varsity game. Varsity letters were awarded to Dick Fulkerson, Frank Barron, Bill Land, Sid Beauregard, Marvin Kaiser, Don Whited, Don Ethridge, Bill Burkett, Bob Wood- ward, Nick Basile and Gene McDaniel. -41- GAA First row: Nancy Maupin.

This year the champions of the Night Recreation Girls' Basketball League were all members of the Senior Girls, Athletic Association. These girls received a dif- ferent award this year. In place of giving a medal to the winners, an emblem was given to them. As we go to press, the members of GAA are planning to have a Play Day at Navarre Field in May. To this event all Border City League schools in addition to Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor are invited. The day's program will consist of a track meet in the morning at Navarre Field, a recreation period of volley ball, badminton, swimming, and other activities following lunch, and softball games in the afternoon. In case of rain the entire program will be held indoors. The annual Jean Jump is planned for the month of May. Mr. Frank Taylor and the MHS Dance Band are to furnish the music. The County Track meet is to be held in May with the GAA girls acting as oflicials for the girls' activities. The contestants are local winners in the county and at this meet county champions are decided. The association is headed by Pat Venzke, presidentg Janet Allen, vice-presidentg Dolly Rorkc, secretaryg Dolores Lillevig, treasurerg and Pat Farner, business manager.

The chief accomplish- ment was the joint purchase of two popcorn machines in union with the Student Council. The sale of popcorn, candy and programs at the basketball games aided in boosting the treasury. The sale of pins during football season was another club project. The members found a very suitable method of disposing of some of their hard earned cash. In the future the club will give a block M to all first time letter winners. The hilarious contests of swimmers versus cagers, sponsored by the M Club, were two comedies of thrills. The Davis team was victorious in the cage contest in spite of their great handicap-boxing gloves were worn. The Waters team won in the pool. To even this contest the swimmers wore sweatshirts and overalls. The highlight of the swimming meet was the diving Cexcuse me, this event is better known as the comedy of errorsj. The result was a six-way tie for first place. The credit for the cl'ub's success lies in the cooperation the officers received from all of the members. Everyone aided in the sale of pins and in numerous other activi- ties. The ofiiccrs were: Bill Burkett, president, Marvin Kaiser, vice-president: and Dale Hoppert, secretary-treasurer.

This year the cheerleaders tried to stress even more the idea of School Spirit. The girls tried everything they could think of, and finally, at the Grosse Pointe game, had it! Mr. B. M. Hellenberg was adviser to the cheerleaders this year for the first time. Baseball Coach Eugene Davis and Captain Freeman Stickney led the squad to two wins to begin the season.

The tennis team, under the direction of Coach Fielden Tambling, rolled to four consecutive wins to get the season under way. The team has few returning letter- men and a rough schedule but hopes to win a majority of their matches. Track Coach Richard Waters informs us that the outcome of the track season depends almost entirely on the ability of untried material to round into shape quickly. Be- cause of the bad weather at the beginning of the season, for the most part the early victories will go to the teams with the most veterans. The Trojans looked good in their opener, however, as captain Don Ethridge led the boys to an 84-25 win over River Rouge. slr? row: Gene Clute, Lewis Cross. Carl Elsenhauer, Bill Heck. Arden Krug.

The natators finished with a record of nine wins, two losses and two tie meets. This placed the Trojans in third place in Border Cities competition. Dan Morrin, Don Atkinson and Phil Wood established themselves as record- breakers. This trio set the medley relay record at 1:10.3. By the close of the season Morrin had lowered the 40-yard free style record to 18.3 seconds, and he became the third Monroe swimmer to swim the 100-yard free style in fifty-five seconds. At- kinson, in lowering the 100-yard back stroke record to l:03.5, broke the poo1's oldest record. It had been set by Carl Yentz sixteen years ago. The Trojans finished seventh in the state meet. Dan Morrin captured a first in the 50-yard free style and a third in the 100-yard free style. Jim Moody, who per- formed capably all season, was a very close second in the diving. Don Atkinson finished fourth in the backstroke to round out the Monroe scoring. A star-studded alumni squad with numerous: swimming veterans subdued the high school team 48-36. Don Jennings captained the squad. Don Atkinson was voted most valuable. The varsity letter winners are: Don Jennings, Dan Morrin, Don Atkinson, Dan Leabu, Phil Wood, Earl Hollingsworth, Jim Moody, Jim Barron, Gene Davenport, Jim Johnson, Aaron Lutz, Jerry Gray and Chuck Kane.
