A Bit of Plagiarism From Our STUDENTS' DIQRIES SEPTEMBER, 1936 A great personality was added to our school faculty this year, someone that we will probably never forget, it's the new band director-Mr. William Stewart. OCTOBER 1, 1937 Something to look forward to, some- thing a great many of us were worried about, yes, it was announced today that the school would aid graduates seek- ing positions. NOVEMBER 19, 1939 Tonight we attended the first Vesper Service which was given at the Campus Auditorium. The program was awfully interesting with hymns, community singing, and band selections. MAY 12, 1937 Today marked a great day in the history of our band, for today it com- peted with other Michigan high school bands at the Tulip Festival in Holland. It was great excitement when they won superior rating, second division. And were we proud of them! FEBRUARY 4, 1938 This semester five new practical courses were offered to us. Included were: Consumers Science, Consumers Economics, Problems III, American Literature, and Office Practice. When we graduate, we might know something. MARCH 4, 1938 Today we followed the debate team to Kalamazoo. Of course we had no doubts in our minds as to who would come home with the honors. And as we had predicted, we won. Miss Hes- ling, our debate coach, also did a bit of vanquishing, and it was the debate coach of the opposition. For she came back to Muskegon as Mrs. Charles Hampton. MARCH 18, 1938 We had a big day today, diary. We tried out our new ping pong tables that the Student Council bought, some pretty good players were discovered, too. MARCH 30, 1938 Yesterday was an exciting one. It seemed that everyone was at the mass 111eeting at Hackley Park. It was only Hb0llI bums' day but caused quite a row. Approximately two-thirds of our student body was there. And then today, almost everyone celebrated the privilege of tl1is momentous occasion by wearing Sunday Best, corsages, and carrying canes. Thus bums' day was transformed into Ushieks' day. Even the faculty members participated. MAY 19, 1938 The band won more honors, this time, higher superior rating, first divi- sion, at Holland. JUNE 4, 1938 The ideal of 111any students was finally realized by tl1e offering of out- door summer courses to the summer school students. It should prove to be fun. sEP'1'EMB1s1t 16, 1938 Today we had a record sale of activ- ity tickets far surpassing those of previous years. Maybe we still have a little school spirit left. Nov1LMBER 4, I938 Our colleague, Maurice Lee, was llillllffd to head the new Camera Club. Hope we get some new candid shots 11ow. MEMOS-1938 Mr. Young organized the Town Meeti11g Discussion group this year. Before and after each air program of the same name, the club discusses the same topic taken up. Fred McMahon was probably one of the most active members of the club from our class. Mr. Gilsdorf did some pretty good work with his dancing school. He had some good helpers in Mearl Peterson, Maurice Lee, and Katherine Bourdon. 21

FEBRUARY 3, 1939 Work was i11 tl1e offing today Wllell Ardath Purdy and Maurice Lee were named co-chairinan for tl1e Senior Re- ception. - 1939 - FEBRUARY 24, 1939 12B class meeting today. Lots was accomplished for a change, jim Fitz- gerald was named president of the class. MARCH 30, 1939 I just found out today that we made some money on our Senior Reception. We're about the first class that really made money on their reception. It was a big success with an Hawaiian at' mosphere prevailing. APRIL, 1939 In the School Musizmrz, one of the best national magazines, there was an article about the excellent work our band has done at all the football games. The article was by Mr. Stew- art. There were lots of pictures of tl1e best band formations, too. MAY 2, 1939 Lots of the pr0blem's students made believe they ran the citv today. Among the many were: jim Fitzgerald. Kate Bourdon, Bob Tupes, Dale johnson, Ben Fles, Virginia Arnson, Ardath Purdy, and Doris Banline. MAY 20, 1939 We thought the band was good last year, but this year we tied with Benton Harbor, which holds the cl1ampio11sl1ip. VVe received the highest honor: Highly Superior Rating, at H0lla11d. JUNE 16, 1939 Sounds like we will have some good assemblies this year. There will be an air stewardess, a cowboy, an authority on television, and an adventurer. JULY, 1939 Mr. Stewart was given the opportun- ity to tell Northwestern University all about our grand band. YVe're pretty proud of both Mr. Stewart and the band. 22 SEPTEMBER 10, 1939 jim Fitzgerald took over another term as president of ot1r class. Jim Bultema. vice-president, Mary Alice Graves, secretary: Bob Vanderlaan, treasurer, Fred McMahon, Student Council representative, and Dorothy Kirk and Ben Fles, sergeants-at-arms. s131f'rEM1a1iR 29, 1939 X'Vinst0n Leppert, one of our best Zllld l1l0St popular classmates, was elected Student Council president. Our class contains quite a bit of the best grain of the school. He'll probably do lots for the school too. NOVEMBER 20, 1939 Awhile back Miss Ellis became ill and we so miss her. Because she probably w0n't be back for the rest of the se- mester, we elected Miss Raue to replace her. Miss Ellis is honorary adviser, though, and we are keeping Mr. Young. DECEMBER 2, 1939 Our band made its debut today in Iowa on the screen. The Iowans were much interested in Mr. Stewart's little talk about the band and the motion pictures of its different formations. DECEMBER 18, 1939 Class has decided that since we have so m11ch money on hand we might as well spend it. So-the banquet will be .sans cost! It must be about the first time in the history ol' our school that that ever happened. Another innova- tio11 by our class is the new book di- ploma. 'I'hey'll probably be in blue and gold to carry out the class colors. Oh, another thing, as we have all the money we might as well put it to good use, so we're going to put it in a fund towards lighting the football field. JANUARY 25, 1940 Lots of the best band members will be lost when graduation rolls around. They are: Kathleen Grandjean, Robert Shipman, Dorothy Wfarnock, Aaron Jones, and Mfillie Rayford. We're going to feel awfully lost upon leaving school. After three years of it, it has come to be more than a habit-maybe a tra- dition.
