Morrice High School - Oriola Yearbook (Morrice, MI)

Text from Pages 1 - 78 of the 1949 volume:

DICATION We dedicate this our first Annual to S. A. Shufelt In honor of Z5 years of service in the Morrice Consolidated School Z 4 IN APPRECIATION This little boy, Dennis Wood, symbolizes the lower grades in Morrice Consolidated High School. A school wouldn't be a very lively and happy in- stitution without the happy shining faces and warm appealing personalities of the little boys and girls. You never go down the halls but what some small child calls out Hi Mary or Hello Bob to you. You can appreciate the feeling the little folks give you when they always speak. You cannot really appreciate this feeling until they grow up or are absent from your daily environment. They are thankful for every little thing you do for them and try to show it to you in so many ways that they are impossible to na.me. All of the high school students are very grateful for the privileges of having the grade children present to brighten up our halls. 3 Gnf V2 h S S RH RUF-'E LE 6 gi?

IZ SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Freshxnan Year As we were inexperienced in the ways of high school students when we came to Morrice High School, the Sophomore Class had a hilarious time initiating us. After embarrassing us beyond existence and laughing at us the Sophomore Class tried to get back into our good graces by giving the Sophomore Swing in our honor. Eventually we forgave them for initiation day, and soon we were fiendishly plotting what we were going to do to those poor Freshmen next year. The rest of the year continued along as usual, scattered with a few parties, basketball, football, and baseball gannes. To help us get through our first eventful high school year was Miss Rassler, our class sponsor. Sophomore Year We carne to school as Sophomores, with enormous ideas as to what we were going to do with those new Freshmen. Also we thought we were quite impressive to the Freshmen since we knew our way around and were acquainted with nearly everyone in the school. After initiation we did as our predecessors had done and got back in the good grace of the shy Freshrnen by giving the Sophomore Scuffle in their honor. Next to become better acquainted with our classmates, we planned a roller skating party to the Palamar in Lansing. Since the girls in our class were rather talented, many of them had leading parts in the operetta-- Pirates of Penzance --the school gave, under the direction of Mrs. Manning. Our Sophomore Class sponsor was Mrs. Elizebeth Johnson. Junior Year Before we had rather disregarded the financial status of our treasury, but when we discovered that we were responsible for the production of a prom for those fiendish creatures who had treated us so inconsiderately when we were shy little Freshmen, we began to get busy. Our first profitable feat was a bake sale. Since it turned out very successfully we started on another project--our traditional Junior Play. We chose a mystery Spooky Tavern to display our drarnatic talent, with the aid of our sponsors, Mr. and Mrs. Schaadt. Everyone studied his part continuouslyg and finally the night we produced our finished product, the audience nearly had heart failure at the scares we gave them. Having collected enough profit from attempts at money raising we proceeded to plan the most eventful party of the year, the Junior-Senior Prom. The prom had a Dutch theme and the gymnasiuxn was gaily decorated with tulips and a wind mill. Our theme song was An Old Dutch Garden. The Seniors seemed to enjoy our prom and we were very proud of it too. Senior Year Perhaps our Senior year was the most memorable one of all. We started on our Senior Play, Free Advice, which was a comedy under the direction of Mrs. Mary Lou Fedosky, it was given on November 12, 1948, and it was a huge success. During our spare time between the larger events we went to the basketball games, parties, theater parties, and roller skating. Cruising Lake Superior and entering Sault Locks was the Senior trip chosen by the majority of the class. We hope to have a very enjoyable time and we leave for Detroit and our trip the day after school is closed. As it is the custom for Seniors to have their physiognomies printed on pieces of paper, we elected Craine Studios in Detoit to take our Senior pictures. They did a very satisfactory job and we received our finished pictures in time for Christmas. We also ordered our caps and gowns for graduation day. As we go out into the world for ourselves we shall have these memories of our high school years to accompany us. 1949 Senior Schedule Baccalaureate ------------- May Z9, 1949 Graduation ---- -------- J une 1, 1949 Alumni ----- ---June 11, 1949 13, SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of '49, hereby declare this to be our last will and testament.

While on our travels around the various counties of Michigan, we, by the most fortunate chance, happened to visit Madam ZaZa, who with the aid of her crystal ball, related the following prophecies about each one of us. Norman Hoag will go to college and after graduation will settle on a farm in the North. Ed. Lezovich, after tearing himself away from his interests in Perry, will graduate from M. S. C. and establish a nationwide business of peddling alarm clocks.

Nita Buzek will become a nursef I Marilyn Mumma will become a nurse and charm all of the patients with her big eyes.

APPRECIATION The Senior boys wish to thank Mr. Schaadt, a fine coach and an all around fine fellow, for the splendid job of directing and teaching them the fundamentals of athletics and good sportsmanship. Although they have won and lost games, as all teams do, they were taught to be strong in victory, but stronger when defeat was staring them in the face. They were taught to take it on the chin, to congratulate the opponent for his victory, and to profit by mistakes: so that the next time they might not be caught off guard. Only a fine coach could do such a splendid job. The Senior boys thank you, Mr. Schaadt, and appreciate your guidance. THE SENIOR BOYS OF M. H.

This paper was started by a group of Freshman girls who were in the sewing class. Someone sug- gested that we have a school paper and everyone was very much interested. Since the girls were in the sewing class, they decided to name the paper, The So and Sew News. The reward for their efforts cgi'- -w student body liked and accepted their paper. The second year the staff decided to change the narne of the paper to The Morrice Trumpeteer. Duri- ing the sarne year the-Eafper entered the 1947 T. B. contest to do its bit toward fighting the dreadful White Plague. The Trumpeteer was very much honored to win both .Eze and national awards. These awards are very precious to the whole staff. This year we have a much larger staff: each member is making a real effort to maintain a high standard of journhlism. The paper is very well liked and has become a necessity in and out of school life. 48 rumpeteer- Slug at work THE FIRST PAPER STAFF MORRICE TRUMPETEER STAFF Editor ----------- Joan Brown Assistant Editor ----- Catherine Evanchick Artists ----------- Christine Pavlica, Doris Schaufele, Joyce DeFrenn, Sandra Davis, Margo Hoeppner Sports Editor ------ Treasurer -------- Star Reporter ---- Reporters --------- Circulation Manager As sistants -------- Advis or -------- Jack Short, Charles Church Patricia Keyes Anita Buzek Wilma Lewis, Patsy Saska, Gloria Tribley Rosemary Lindquist Mary Martin, Rose O'Connor Charlene Ward Mrs. Harkey 49 X BELOW: Mrs. Hnrkey, Advllor SE NIOR B AND We consist of fifteen instruments and five majorettes.

Throughout the year they have made numerous public appearances--the Senior Play, Women's Club, Ilmior Play, and May Festival. Also they have partici- pated in many of the school assemblies. In behalf of the students who take glee club and the ones who enjoy the glee clubs performances we would like to express our appreciation to Mrs. Fedosky for the wonderful work she has accomplished.

The Morrice F. F. A. Chapter 127 has twenty-one members, eight of whom are Chapter Farmers. During the year we have purchased new equipment for our degree work and plan to sell seeds this spring to enlarge our treasury. In order to keep abreast of new labor saving devices and approved farming prac- tices we have taken eight field trips as follows: 1. Robert Booth's farm to study the construction of a buck rake and grain elevator. Z. La Matt Myers farm to see a gutter cleaner in action. 3. Charles Sayles farm to look over a new shop built by Richard and Henry. 4. St. Johns F. F. A. fat stock show and auction. 5. Laurence Tyrrel1's farm to survey the remodeled dairy barn and new milk house. 6. The Wolverine Seed Corn Factory to inspect the grading, drying, and packaging of hybrid seed corn. 7. The Leslie Cannady farm to see hybrid seed corn growing. 8. Michigan State College for Farmer's Week. Other activities of our Chapter were our own Greenhand Initiation, a fish and game supper, a chapter degree initiation at Durand, and the Leadership Conference at Owosso. Two of our members, Henry Sayles and John Tyrrell went to the National F. F. A. Convention of Kansas City in November and two members to the State F. F. A. Convention at M. S. C. in March. This spring we started a registered swine raising project for the purpose of providing members with better quality hogs on their home farms and to raise money for our Chapter. Marvin Witters had the first sow.

Among their musical numbers are a few selections such as these: Oh, What A Beautiful Morning ' Make Believe Smoke Gets in Your Eyes All the Things You Are Stout Hearted Men. At Christmas tirne the boys took a very active part in our Christrnas Musical Dale Judd, Robert Tillson, and Dale Wood sang We Three Kings of Orient Are in a trio. Dale Wood and Bob Tillson also sang Oh Come All Ye Faithful. HOLAE NURSING The high school girls of 1947-1949 were very fortunate in being offered a course in home nursing with Mrs. James Wood, R. N. as the instructor. The course began early in October and ended in February with a total of thirty lessons. The first half of the course dealt with common illnesses, diseases, medicines and first aid. The second half was concerned with motherhood, the new baby, and the care of the pre-school child. A visit to Edward W. Sparrow Hospital was arranged for February ll, which proved to be very instructive and worth-while. 61 X JUNIOR RED CROSS BACK ROW: Left to Right, Mrs. Muy Hukey, Carolyn Ari, Will!!

The officers are: President, Marguerite Scollon: Vice-President, Mildred Bowles, Secretary, Shirley Serviceg Treasurer, Shirley Hoag: and Reporters, Dolores Gilbert and Shirley Service. The Home Economic girls wear red and black on Friday. These are the club colors and we wear them or pay a fine. The fine is one cent. Every time one violates the laws of behavior of our club a spotter, funknownl reports us to the class and we are fined two cents this time. At the end of the first semester, many of the girls completed an apron. Shirley Service finished her apron first. The second semester we made cotton dresses, blouses and skirts. We have been making cloth toys for youngsters in the hospitals. They are sanitary and serviceable as they are covered with plastic. LATIN I During the first year of Latin, the class learned to do many things. The soap carving project was well-done and many interesting carvings were made, such as, the royal chair, the coliseum, the aqueducts, Roman Churches, homes, horsemen, and many public buildings. Some members of the class used molding clay and made books, plaques and figures. These were exhibited many times, and contributions for the bulletin board included maps, themes, news articles, pictures, poem, etc. During the Christmas Season the class sang the Christmas Carols in Latin which were greatly enjoyed by the entire school group. LATIN Il Our first year class numbered twenty students--due to Seniors who found conflicts our nunrxber changed the second year. Betty Tyrrell, Katherine Evanchick, and Anita Buzek were three Senior girls who found it impossible to continue with us the second year. However, we added a nu.mber, as Leo Haggerty canxe and joined our class thus making our number sixteen during the second year. During this year we held a Roman Banquet which was very much appreciated and enjoyed as the Roman food was excellent. The food served was olives, salted nuts, sandwiches, fruits, sweets and drink, Each member at the banquet furnished his own pillow and reclined while eating. Pictures were taken by John Tyrrell. Leo Haggerty came dressed as the early Roman with his toga which created more in- terest. Our translations during the second year of work consisted of Caesar's Gallic Wars, Roman History, Stories, poem, dialogues, and plays. 63 BACK ROW: FRONT ROW : HOMEMAKING ll un to num.
