Ok Me H Ua n Carl Hallenius applies the fin- ishing touches to the make-up of a cast member. CARL HALLENIUS The following students tribute in memorium appeared in the NEW MOON: Carl J. Hallenius was a man who taught English, a man who devoted his whole life to teaching. He never married; he lived alone in his apartment on Cedar Street. Here was a quiet man who won a bronze star for bravery during World War II. Here was a well-read, well-dressed man who built tourist cabins in his home town, Gaylord, Michigan. This man, who directed the school plays since 1949, was studying under a carpen- ter in his spare time to have the skill for building his cabins where he had planned to retire. This was a man who went to several universities, receiving his A.B. degree from Central Michigan College, and who had a hobby of cooking. He had charge of the NEW MOON from 1948 till 1953. He was a man who had traveled to Europe in the summer of 1955, planning to re-visit next summer, and worked at Falvey ' s Clothing Store when he was not traveling. This man didn ' t let enough of his perso nality show through his cover of shy reserve. He had his own quiet humor, and was an interesting conversationalist. He never indulged in gossip or pettiness. The school will miss his friendly ways, his gentlemanly man- ners, and his contributions to the school system. Mr. Hallenius loved the fields and woods of Gaylord, Michigan.
