We hope that we have accomplished our aim. We feel that this Tattler Will not only bring back memories of your high school days, but that it will remind you of what is perhaps the greatest thing in our life time-the end of World War ll. But springing from this great conflict comes our own big task, which is winning the peace. We will start now with the first peace-time Tattler in four years. We hope you like it!

A graduate of Western Michigan College of Education, Mr. Gebloy accepted his first teaching position here in the fall of 1928 and has remained a member of the Niles High School faculty. Printing, machine shop, wood shop, and mechanical drawing are his specialties: in fact, he was the first to teach printing in Niles High School. At the present time he is teaching machine shop. In his eighteen years here he has interested many boys in mechanical trades. This has helped them in some cases to choose their life's work. ln addition to his work in regular classes, he had charge of the War Training Pro- gram, and thus helped prepare men for industrial jobs during the war emergency. . It is in recognition of the inspiration which Mr. Gebby has given to gradu- ates of our school, that the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty-six dedicates its yearbook. 4 f , v f f X2 KW 1 ' x! , 4 V I A fl!

The band started the school year by marching and playing at six of the home football games. It then continued its rapid pace by playing at several of the business men's clubs. On March 22 it entered the District Festival at Kalamazoo and received a first division rating. This entitled it to enter the State Festival on April l3 in East Lansing. As We go to press the band has just returned with a second division rating. ln this Festival only two of twenty-seven Class B bands received first division ratings, while more than half received third and fourth division ratings. This was the first time in many years that the band had entered either a District or State Festival. The trip was made possible by the Instru- mental Music League, which is made up of parents of members of the band and other interested citizens. On April 4th and Sth the band presented the 22nd Annual Band Bounce fsee page 691. The officers of the band are Leonard Corey, Presidentp Bill Hahn, Vice-president: and Delcie Iohnson, Secretary. 40 THE CHOIR Sixth Row: Donna Mittan, Marjorie Ann Young, Barbara lohnson, loan Carlson, Anne Kompass, Eugene Fender, Charles Geishert, Bill Brown, Stephen Peterson, Mary Alice Wolf, Marilyn Moore, Betty Geishert, Idarnae Gillette Fifth Row: Peggy Kuebli, Barbara Van Tuyl, Phyllis Cochran, Ioyce Clark, Ronald Gosline, Charles Eden, Roger Garst, Norman Cross, Dorothy Anderson, Barbara Smith, Mary Bunbury, Marion Walker Fourth Row: Mary lane Gay, Mary lane Frucci, Kathryn Rogers, Norma lean SalisbuIYt lames Gil' lette, lohn Kasler, Stanley Radewald, Herbert Young, Rosemary Whiteside, Thera Kerr, Ioan Kerr, Dorothy McCormick Third Row: Marilyn Bailey, Vivian Cochran, Sara Ricks, lohn Gillespie, lack Parker, Harold Kauf- man, Dale Foster, Doris Eggleston, Ethel Eldridge, Beverly Wellingham, Marilyn Handshaw Second Row: Helen Kizer, Barbara Calder, Ianice Kelley, Patricia Matthews, Richard Hart, Garland Stanley, Ioseph Funk, Thomas Sctrratore, Marcie Whiteside, Mary Wetmore, Ianyce Miars First Row: Lillian Merritt, Hannah Paddock, Donald Burbank, David Graham, Elaine Rutherford, Mr, Flora, Russell Shoemaker, Raymond Hochmuth, Nona Leuders, Ioan Cogswell, Mary Lou Smith, Gladys Howell The Choir was under the direction of Mr. George Flora this year.

A great deal of time was devoted to preparing the musical comedy Words and Music which was given fanuary 31 and February l. The main event of the year was the Vocal Festival held in St. loseph on March 27. The choir also gave several concerts before the various clubs and groups of Niles. The choir has done a fine job this year. lts membership reached about sixty-five students who came to school an hour early three mornings a week for practices. Next year it will miss Elaine Rutherford, who has been accompan- ist for several years. Also appearing with the choir have been two small groups who should be commended for their work-the girls' sextet and the boys' octet. The officers of the choir, were Stanley Radewald, president: lda Gillette, Vice-president: Rosemary Whiteside, secretary: and Herbert Young, treasurer. 41 GIRLS' GLEE CLUB Sixth Row: Lou Ellen Thompson, Patricia Steigely, Sue Reum, Dorothy Schanbacher, Mary Alice Wolf, Mary Linsenmier, Eunice Cox, Betty Geishert, Doris Fitz Fifth Row: Kathryn Rogers, Alyce Gano, Mary Lou Merritt, Evelyn Burge, Ioyce Clark, Betty Lou Worm, Marilyn Moore, Christina Iohnson, Ioan Geiger, Betty Luke Fourth Row: Thera Kerr, Iudy Babbitt, Mildred Knapp, Irene Greichen, Frances Snouwaert, Florence Malsch, Mary Ellen Vore, Iosephine McKienzie, Arlene Hibnar, Mary lane Frucci, Lillian Merritt Third Row: Rosemary Whiteside, Frances Cain, Iewel Crouch, Betty Wages, Phyllis Cochran, Virginia Hunt, Gladys Howell, Betty McBride, Irene Schadler, Iacqueline Anderson Second Row: Marilyn Handshaw, Flora Riddle, Eloise Briggs, Ioan Hoffman, Ida Gillette, Marjorie Ann Young, Irene I-lipshier, Doris Hulett, Vivian Williams, Mary lane GGY, Ienny Thomas First Row: Mary Ann Beehler, Marjorie Arlene Young, Mary Burdue, Phyllis Berry, Peggy Kuebli, Elaine Rutherford, Mr. Flora, Norma Mitchell, Marilyn Bailey, Barbara Williams, Dorothy Lundberg 42 BOYS' GLEE CLUB Fourth Row: Iames Hunziker, Edward Wandrey, Richard Wedel, Eugene Fender, Stephen Peterson, Roy Gulhranson, Robert Turner, Hugh Anderson, Ronald Gosline, lack Shrider Third Row: Theodore Lundqren, Norman Arnold, Francis Norris, Iames Gillette, Herbert Young, Stanley Radewald, Roger Garst, Charles Eden, Charles Bath, Ioseph Grathwohl Second Row: James King, Dale Foster, Albert Conover, Norman Cross, Garland Stanley, Thomas Sarratore, William Laqoni, Joseph Funk, Harold Kaufman First Row: Rex McCombs, Robert Adler, Richard Hart, Chester Stokely, Elaine Rutherford, Mr. Flora lack Parker, lohn Kasler, Raymond Hochmuth, Russell Shoemaker 43 OCTET AND SEXTET Second Row: Donald Burbank, Ray I-lochmuth, Richard Hart, lames Gillette, Garland Stanley, Charles Eden, Iohn Kasler, Russell Shoemaker First Row: Mr. Flora, Betty Geishert, Barbara Calder, Dorothy Anderson, Marion Walker, Thera Kerr, Doris Eggleston The octet and the sextet have been very active this year.

They have also appeared with the choir in the Christmas program and the concert at the Presbyterian Church. Mr. Flora has done a fine job of making these picked groups really out- standing. They have put in many hours of practice before and after school to make their groups so excellent. Elaine Rutherford and Mr. Flora did a good job accompanying these groups. 44 ORCHESTRA Fourth Row: Bob Smith, Verlin Davis, Terrence Newton, Bill Rogers, Isabelle Hill, Sylvia Carlson, Norman Mead Third Row: Beverly Short, Charles Bath, Burton Hurlhutt, Pauline Hoisington, Dick Liebertrau, Eddie Iames, lack Woods, Virginia Ward Second Row: Gloria Baird, Marilyn Rubin, Delcie Iohnson, Marion VValker, Dick Rhodes, Gordon Burnett, Beatrice Grinage First Row: Harold Deutscher, Dolores Deutscher, Mr. Maikowski, Arthur Jaeger, Ioan Seeberger, Katherine Flick The orchestra's first public appearance this year was at the lunior Play, Spring Green. Throughout the winter the orchestra was dormant, but with the coming of spring, they traveled with the band to Kalamazoo for the District Festival, where they received a third division rating for their playing. Although last year the orchestra did not play for the Band Bounce, this year they appeared in the production. Playing at the Commencement exercises rounded out their program for the year. The orchestra this year was made up of both lunior and Senior High School players, and held its rehearsals before school in the morning. It has done exceptionally Well this year despite cc late start and a lack of players for stringed instruments. Under the fine direction of Walter Maikowski, the or- chestra has made progress in musicianship and interest in music. 45 STUDENT COUNCIL Fourth Row: lames Nishawaki, Charles Geishert, Robert Wylie, Robert Norris, lames Green, DeWitt Shrider, lames Moemke, lack Shrider, Charles Bath, Duane Kimball, lohn Kasler Third Row: Duane Ullrey, Richard Barron, lerry Mace, Garland Stanley, Betty Crouch, Sally Burris, Marjorie Cusick, Donald Burbank, Roger Tibbs, Roger Garst Second Row: Mr. Marks, Marjorie Ann Young, Marilyn McCoy, Mary Ann Harlan, Audrey Leiting, Nancy Shannon, Marcia Whiteside, Iean Peters, Norma lean Lunn, Shirley Lambiotte, layne Griffee First Row: Ruby Britton, Doris Gunder, Anne Kompass, Thera Kerr, Charles Eden, Edward Martin, Harold Kaufman, Rosemary Whiteside.

This organization was a temporary one, set up to lay the foundation for a permanent council. The Student Council was established, as usual, by request of the pupils. The Council sponsored dances after the basketball games, and also set up a Building and Grounds Committee. lt helped to determine a permanent place to put the War Memorial plaque. The members took care of Tattler sales for their advisories. The 1946 Student Council hopes that the foundation they have laid for the future Councils will guide new students through a better high school career. 46 G. A. A.

During the past year they met on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school. They participated in soccer, speedball, basketball, bowling, volley ball, and softball. Their business meetings were held on the first Friday noon of each month. Included in their program were hayrides, hikes, swimming parties, and bicycle jaunts. This year's initiation was held in Ianuary when they conferred memberships on thirty-six girls. Girls who have amassed 600 points receive numeralsy 1200, their minor N, and l600, their major N. The most outstanding point accumulation on record was made by their l945 president, Eleanor Yaw, who had well over 1600 points at the end of her junior year. The members of the G. A. A. are indebted to Miss Sprague, who has so ably and untiringly sponsored their club during the past three years. 47 T HE USHERS' CLUB Second Row: Charlotte Marrs, Mary Catherine Bechtel, Doris Gunder, Mildred Knapp. lean Peters, Patricia Matthews, Ioan Cogswell First Row: loyce Miars, lclarnae Gillette, Charlene Basso, Norma Webber, lean Weist, Ianyce Miars The Ushers' Club, made up of volunteer workers under the direction of Mr. Whitwam, has done a very fine job this year. Acting as head usher is Charlene Basso. The ushers are on hand an hour before the program starts, getting things ready. Athletic events, plays, and teachers' forums are the chief activities the club ushers for. This year the club also made the Red Cross collections at our local theaters. The duties of the girls range from taking tickets, passing out programs, showing people to their seats, to taking care of the coat roorn at the games. These girls have given up rnuch for their Work, and are entitled to the group trip to Chicago, which is being planned. Thanks and good luck to you, Ushers, you've done a swell job. 48 BLEACHER SQUAD and GAME AS SISTANTS Sixth Row: Allen Brooks, Bill Brown, Fred Eaton, lack Davis, lack Geary, E. I.

As mention on page 48, the ushers must be on duty an hour before all school games. Along with these girls, there are ticket takers, ticket sellers, door watchers, dressing room assistants, and many others, who must be on duty early and stay until all the fans have left. In addition to this group is a squad of boys who relinquish their gym class time to put up the bleachers for basketball games and take them down on the Saturdays following the games. We would like to express our thanks to these people for all the fine work they have done to make the sports events run as smoothly as possible. 49 GIRLS' OFFICIALS CLUB Irene Greichen, Elda Mae Yaw, Grace Singer, Kathryn Rodgers, Barbara Simpson, Ruth Welsh, Ruth Linsenmier, Eleanor Yaw, Betty Donley, Margaret Mead, Norma Stafford, Betty lean McGrew, Miss Sprague Under the capable leadership of Miss Sprague, the Girls' Offficials Club is completing its first year of sports officiating. Through weekly meetings the fifteen members are instructed by Miss Sprague in the officiating and coaching of girls' sports. These lessons are put into practice during gym periods when the club members assist her in the refereeing and coaching of soccer, speedball, basketball, softball, and volleyball. The return of ten undergraduate members next year insures the establishment of this organization as an important per- manent factor of the physical education department. , so I-Il-Y Sixth Row: lack Young, Robert Myers, Robert Lamherton, William Brown, Charles Geishert, Dale Hauch, Roger Garst, Leonard Corey, Edward Martin, Garland Stanley, William Rogers Filth Row: Tilden Weist, Kenneth Rutherford, lack Geary, Iohn Daron, Charles Eden, Charles Van Arman, lames Gillette, Lyle Daley, Ronald Gosline Fourth Row: ,Terry Mace, lack Riqhter, E.

The Hi-Y is a Y. M. C. A. sponsored club for high school boys. Hi-Y was first organized in the spring of '45, but it didn't get rolling until the fall of '45. lt is all one big club with four chapters. The chapters are the Vikings, Royal, Wolverines, and the Big Four. Since the clubs are so new, they are still under the close scrutiny of the Y. M. C. A. Secretary, Mr. Harold Baker. Recently the Viking chapter set up a new school paper, the Viking Press, in an effort to bring Hi-Y even closer to the school, Hi-Y groups are a Wonderful opportunity for the boys of the school to get together and do constructive things for the school and community, and also to have enjoyment as a group. We hope that the Hi-Y will continue to grow, and in turn, be able to do more for our high school. 5l TRI-I-ll-Y Fifth Row: Mary Alice Wolf, Betty Brumtield, Norma Stafford, Patricia Righter, Marion Walker, Winifred Anderson, Betty Wages, Norma lean Lunn, Ethel Eldridge, Marie l-loven, Shirley Cooper, Anne Kompass, Barbara Smith, Dorothy McCormick Fourth Row: Frances Stratton, Delores Merrill, Nancy Robinson, Susanne Bauer, Wanda Weaver, Phyllis Russell, Verda Wilcox, Marjorie Cusick, Ioan Hoffman, Peggy Dickeson, lean Siebert, Georgiana Timm, Ioan Kerr, Sally Burris Third Row: Shirley Lambiotte, Adamureene Hassinger, Evelyn Burge, Mary lane Frucci, layne Griffee, Delcie Iohnson, Marjorie Ann Young, Ida Mae Gillette, Audrey Leiting, Beverly Schmidt, Donna Smith, Dorothy Anderson, Shirley Bedinger, lane McVeigh Second row: Phyllis Wilken, loan Weist, Betty Luke, Gloria Baird, Sally Roberts, Ienny Thomas, Mary Burdue, Beverly Hanct, Vivian Williams, Barbara Williams, Betty Lundberg, Norma Bates, Carolyn Gulbranson First Row: Christina Iohnson, Doris Hulett, Irene Hipshier, Betty Hahn, Miss Finkel, Miss Parker, Mary Lou Merritt, Beverly Ewert, Jacqueline Anderson, Evelyn McLaughlin The Tri-Hi-Y are rather new organizations in Niles. They were started by the Y. M. C. A. about a year ago and are now under the direction of Harold Baker. F our clubs were organized during the first year-the Alpha Thy, the Teenettes, the Potawotomies, and the Otokywas. The purpose of the organiza- tion is: To create, maintain, and extend throughout school and community high standards of Christian character. Programs, including religious, social, educational, and recreational activi- ties, are planned by the club officers with the help of the advisors. Over sixty girls are now in the membership of these clubs. After graduation, however, the senior girls' club, Alpha Thy, will be dissolved, and another club made up of younger girls will take its place. In this way the organization in Niles will continue to grow and progress for years to come. 52 PROTECTOR OPERATORS Left to Right: james Burnham, Daniel Parsons, lack Kirkendall, lack Crouch, Murl Lindsey, Gary Huber, Mr. Rasmussen, Fred Koontz, Ronald Grafe, Robert Grahl, Gene Balknap The projector operators were useful this year in showinq films to individual classes in the projection room and at auditorium programs, They also showed several movies to outside groups such as downtown clubs and Parent-Teacher Associations. Only boys with above average :grades are accepted as pro- jector operators since the time it takes comes out of study halls.

They developed as the season progressed and in their final few games were as good as any team in the conference with the possible exception of St. loseph. The team opened the season against South Bend Catholic and battled them to a scoreless tie. They were then routed by a strong South Bend Central Catholic, l9 to O. ln our first conference game we met and defeated South Haven. After this came a speedy Buchanan team and a strong, hard charging St. loseph club. We were defeated by both of these teams. Mr. Ham then conceived the idea of moving Hradel from end to fullback. We then defeated the last three teams, Dowagiac, State High, and Three Rivers, in short order. The offensive leader this year was Shorty Coleman, but he was ably supported by loe Funk, Tom Sarratore, Norm Arnold, Fred Cribbs, and later by Bill Hradel. ln the line, Captain Bob Burge was a boulder on defense as were Bill Barthel, Dick Mitchell, Dave Korman, and Len Corey. Eugene Ieep Gorton played an outstanding game at end both on offense and defense. All in all this was a very successful season for our Viking footballers. t 57 THE SQUAD Name Weight Height Pos. ikNorm Arnold 145 5' 9 HB 'l'Bi1l Barthel 220 5' 10 T Richard Block 212 5' 11 G George Boller 155 5' 9 E lack Bunbury 175 ,5' 11 G il'Bob Burge lCapt.l 160 5' 10' C iGene Cannady 150 5' 9 C 'kArt Coleman 150 5' 7 HB 'FA1 Conover 160 5' 11 G 'kLeonard Corey 165 5' 10 T iFred Cribbs 160 5' 10' FB -'Ioe Funk 145 5' 9 QB Roger Garst 160 5' 11 FB 'ltEugene Gorton 175 5' 11 E 'FDick Graham 155 5' 10' G Bill Hahn 145 5' 7 OB Don Hessey 145 5' 6 G ?Bill Hradel 170 6' E Tom Kennedy 170 6' T Duane Kimball 159 5' 7 G 'kDave Korman 169 5' 9 G Tom Knoll 140 5' ll HB i?Henry Martin 144 5' 5 G Frank Miller 220 5' 10 T Dick Mitchell 180 5' 11 T Iack Phillabaum 148 5' 7 C Earl Pollock 130 5' 5 QB i'Boyd Prater 150 5' 9 E '3Tom Sarratore 160 5' 9 FB 'Flack Shrider 141 5' 9 QB ikPaul Winquist 155 6' FB itVerlin Zimmerman 164 6' l T 'li Indicates Seniors THE FOOTBALL BANOUET The 8th Annual Testimonial Banquet given by the Exchange Club to the 1945 football squad was held December 5, 1946 in the dining room of the Four Flags Hotel.

The season opened at South Haven where both our varsity and reserve teams were victorious. The team then stumped and had a 1osing streak of three games before Whipping Buchanan. After 1osing a c1ose one and winning a close one they again s1umped. At the conc1usion of the season they had a four game winning streak before being knocked out of the tournament by the State Class B. champions, St. Ioe. F our boys from this year's varsity will be back next year a1ong with severa1 coming up from the reserve squad. Those returning wi11 be Tom Knott, Dick Mitche11, Chuck Eden, and lack Voge1sang.

We have also resumed baseball for the first time since 1923. The turn out for these sports was good, and We are confident that the 1946 season will be an excellent one for all spring sports. The lack of coaches has been the worst drawback in the Whole setup, but that will be ironed out. Also, no baseball games Will be played at Niles this year because of the lack of diamond facilities.

EVER SINCE EVE This comedy of youth is the mirthful story of Susan Blake, career girl, and the troubles which beset those two loyal musketeers, lohnny Clover and Spud Erwin, Editor and Business Manager of the Preston High School Pen- guin, when Susan high-pressures herself into the position of Assistant Editor. Susan-always with the best possible intentions-almost bankrupts the Penguin, shakes the friendship of the musketeers, and gives them both the measles. When her innocent enthusiasm involves all three in an illegal pin- ball game, which almost lands them all in jail, Iohnny's mother steps in and saves the day, not only for the young people, but also for the high school principal and the pretty journalism teacher, Whose lives have been disrupted by Susan. Lucybelle Lee, the Southern Menace almost ruins Susan's love life, but in this situation also Susan proves her ability to get her man. The play was directed by Mrs. Iohn Bacon and Mrs. Charles Garns. 66 IUNIOR PLAY THE CAST Standing: Arlene Cox, Dale Hauch, Miss Pearson, Ioan Carlson, lack Bunbury, Anne Kompass, Betty McGrew, Merrilyn Havens, Iames Bennett, Charles Eden, Donald Snyder, lane McVeigh.

SPRING GREEN On December l3th and l4th the funior Class presented a three act comedy, Spring Green. The play, written by Florence Ryerson and Colin Clements, was directed by Miss Mary lane Pearson with loan Carlson and Merrilyn Havens acting as prompters. The play revolves around the Cassell family, their friends, and their troubles. Early in the play, Maior Michael Todd arrives at the Cassell home with his son, Newton. Newton is shy, reserved, and lacking in confidence. His only ambition in life is the scientific breeding of earthworms. Newton does not make a very strking impression on Tony Cassell or Pinkie or Bing or Dunk or any of the boys or grls he comes in contact with, until Eula, a striking red head, comes to town. This perks up his interest, and consequently, leads him into trouble, He almost loses his earthworms along with a citation from the Government. With the help of his friends the play ends with everyone happy. 67 GYM SHOW The Zlst Annual Gym Show was splendidly presented this year by the members of the physical education department: Mr. Whitwam, Miss Sprague, Mr. Ham, and Miss Snyder. Outstanding acts were Senior Girls' Marching, the ever popular Tumbling Sixteen, Square Dance by tenth grade girls and boys, and, of course, the Competition. This year the senior team, captained by Norm Arnold, defeated the lunior team, captained by Duane Kimball, by a score of l4 to 9. However, the winner wasn't decided until the 3-point tug-of-war, since the score stood ll to 9 in favor of the Seniors, at the end of the individual combats. By winning the cowbell again this year, the Class of '46 becomes the first to win it two consecutive years since the Class of '4l. THE PAYYOFF 68 TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL BAND BOUNCE Lou Thompson Thera Kerr lean Weist APRIL 4 AND 5, 1946 This year's Band Bounce proved to be one of the best ever presented by our Band. Great improvement could be noted in their playing ability and attitude, and the three numbers played at the District Festival were exception- ally well played. Thursday night the adult crowd heard a saxaphone quartet and a brass quartet from Elkhart High School play several selections. This year Mr. Bacon had the pleasure of presenting Thera Kerr as our l946 Melody Oueen. The court included Lou Thompson and lean Weist.

This year the choir gave a musical comedy, WORDS AND MUSlC, lanuary 31 and February l. The scene is Barton College, where the annual operetta is written by the dean of dramatic art. The dean is indisposed with the measles this year, so Dean Highnote, head of the music department and dean of women and Dean Longword, head of the English department and dean of men have consented to collaborate on the production, A mutual admiration has inspired the two deans to do their best work. Dean Longword discovers that he knows nothing more modern than Shakespeare, so lohn, his secretary, offers to send his ideas to a friend in New York. Similarly, Dean I-lighnote knows nothing more modern than Bach, so her secretary, Mary, is going to have the musical score composed by a friend in New York. When the manuscripts are returned they are given to President Fussbutton before the Deans have a chance to read them. The faculty and the students meet to approve the operetta, which is jazzy and modern, to the joy of the students and the amazement of the faculty. Iohn and Mary admit they have written the operetta, and the committee agrees to let the operetta be produced, so everything ends happily. 70 WI-lO'S WI-IO IN SE NICB HIGH SCI-IDOL Most popular Best looking Best dancer Most likely to succeed Biqqest bluffer Most devoted couple Best athlete Most musical Best looking Most popular Biqqest assignment giver Iewel Crouch . .

The Seventh Grade this year lost all six games. Although at times they played fair basketball, they were unlucky most of the season. The Eighth Grade fared better, and the team developed as the season advanced. They Won tour out of six games played. The Ninth Grade played outstanding ball. They lost only one game of their seven and this was to a much larger and more experienced team.
