Not pictured; Maynard Eberly, Trustee. The Board of Education is a group of men who have dedicated hours of work to the education of the community's youth. It is their planning which gives us the necessary improvements in our schools, the new buildings as they are needed, and an administration and faculty to carry out the philosophy of the Okemos school. These men play an important role by giving generously of their time throughout the year to carry out plans for our benefit and to help us attain our ideals. 6 Administration The superintendent and principal, together with the students of Okenios High School, are constantly working toward higher ideals.

Senior Class Fourteen of the forty-five students in the Senior Class started their school days at Okemos. The intervening years have been busy ones, full of work, play, and a great deal of learning. During the Freshman year they were under the leadership of class President, Bruce Robinson; Vice-president, Allan Houghton; Secretary, Jeanne Matthews; Treasurer, Marianne Bosworth; Student Representative Assembly members, Dick Barnard, Garth Richey, and Kay McNitt, and sponsors Mrs. Lamb and Mr. Arasim. Their money-making activities were magazine sales, selling at half of the games, and a Pasty Supper. On the social side, they were the guests of the sophomore class at the Freshmen Reception. The class leaders of the sophomore year were President, Allan Wells; Vice-president, Dick Barnard; Secretary, Kay McNitt; Treasurer, Carl Richey; and S.R.A. members, Taya de Martelly, Garth Richey, and Allan Houghton. The class gave a reception for the Freshmen class and had a class supper to plan the future years. Their money-making activities were selling at half of the games and a Pasty Supper. In that year and the succeeding ones the class sponsors were Mrs. Kelly and Mrs. Lamb. Their Junior year was an active one. The class officers were President, Allan Houghton; Vice-president, Allan Wells; Secretary, Diana McDonald; and Treasurer, Marianne Bosworth. S.R.A. members were Glen Gustafson, Taya de Martelly, and Garth Richey. Their money-making projects were a Pasty Supper, selling ice cream during the lunch hour, and the Junior Play, “The Bashful Bachelor,” under the direction of Miss Schram. They sponsored a scries of dancing lessons for the Juniors and Seniors and gave a Valentine dance, “Cupid's Caper,” with Fd Barry and his orchestra. One of their biggest social events was the Junior-Senior Prom, “Isle of Capri,” held in the Union Building at Michigan State College with the music of Tracy Halsey and his orchestra. The Senior year was a happy and successful one. The class officers were President, Allan Houghton; Vice-president, Gilbert Heilman; Secretary, Diana McDonald; and Treasurer, Imogene Shaull. S.R.A. members were Garth Richey, Taya de Martelly, Anne Warner, and Bruce Robinson. Their money-making activities were the Senior Play, “Are You Mr. Butterworth?”. directed by Miss Schram, and a Pasty Supper. Their social life was a very busy one. The Senior float in the Homecoming Parade won second prize. In the spring they were the guests of the Junior class at the Junior-Senior Prom. One of their happiest experiences was the Senior trip to Washington, D.C. They left the day after Baccalaureate and returned just in time for the big day - Commencement with Dr. Virgil Elliott as speaker. After many years, they have reached one of their first goals in life - graduation. Now they will go on to bigger and better things, some to college, some to special schools, and others directly into their field of work. Whatever their choice, may they aim high and have many more happy and successful years. Allan Houghton “Al” Drawing on my fine command of language, I said nothing. Class V. Pres. I. Pres. 3. 4 S. R.

Junior Class A ladder constructed to reach ideals is as hard to climb as a ladder reaching to the stars. Through hard work and study the Junior Class of Okemos is nearing the top. They started school with seventy members after losing eleven from last year. The class officers are Tony Brocci. President; Alice Burch, Vice-President; Bonnie Andrus, Secretary; and Jackie Paty, Treasurer. Representatives to the Student Representative Assembly were Dave Perfect, Jack Weiss, and Jim Kreider. The class began the year with a Halloween dance, ‘Goblin’s Frolic”, with Ed Berry’s band furnishing the music. It was enjoyed by approximately two hundred and fifty junior and senior high school students. In order to build up the class treasury ice-cream was sold twice a week at lunch time and the Junior Play, under the direction of Miss Sell ram, was presented. These things would not have been possible without the competent guidance and assistance of Mrs. Clemow and Mr. Kapella. Every Wednesday morning this year’s home room mothers, Mrs. Hathaway and Mrs. Kreider, took charge of banking for the senior trip. For many, the Junior-Senior Prom is the most remembered event of the year. It was held in the Union Building at Michigan State University. Music was furnished by Earl Henry's eight piece band. The Junior class feels assured that along with the coming of the Senior year will come the realization of their ideals. 31 Sharlcne Allen Carol Avery Bonnie Andrus Viola Backus Gary Baldwin John Bratzler JoAnn Bredahl Tony Brocci Alice Burch Gary Buttcrwick Jerry Cairns Maurine Cornelius Sandra Courtright Max Creaser Ruth Davidson Joey deMartelly Mary Ellen Eberly Anne Edwards Connie Emery Joe Ferrar Sondra Foote Jack Hagerman Arthur Ilakenen Marilyn Hammond Anne Hathaway Wayne Hawkins Gary Hodges Marilyn Hogle Sharon Hughes Lynne Johnson Elaine Kalush Jeanne Ratalenich Forest Kenworthy Ray Kimball Jim Kreider 32 Juniors Fat Lee Melissa Line Bob Lucks John Markwart Bob Maynard Nancy Miller Alice Mouser Danin Mund Josephine Nichols Linda Nicholson Zelma O’Conner Charlene Palmer Dorothy Pamment Jackie Paty Dave Perfect Betty Reinertsen Stuart Reuffer Mary Reynolds Moynette Reynolds Janice Sims Donna Smith Janet Solomon Carl Stanley Jerry Stevens Ed Thomas Jerry Van Atta Larry Voss Nancy Voss Carolyn Weber Cecilc Weinstein Jack Weiss Jim Whitmore Kim Wilkins Tim Willis Bill Woolsey Beverly Yeoman 33 Camera Shy - Sophomores!

Sophomore Class We never reach our ideals, whether of mental or moral improvement, hut the thought of them shows us our deficiencies, and spurs us on to higher and better things.” —Tryon Edwards Early in the fall the class of '58 gave a reception, “A Hunting We Will Go”, for the freshmen. For the Homecoming game they decorated a float, sponsored by Standard Block and Supply. “Silver Bells,” a Christmas semi-formal dance, was given for the entire high school, with music by Ed Berry’s band. Their main money-making project for the year was selling refreshments at the home football games and half of the basketball games. The sophomore class sponsors were Miss Schram and Mrs. Reed, and the homeroom mothers were Mrs. Ratermann and Mrs. Ellinwood. Their sixty-five members were capably led by class officers, Bob Butcher, President; David Cardone, Vice-president; Lynne Stuerhof, Secretary; and Nancy Hull, Treasurer. The S. R. A. representatives were Martha Parisian, Barbara Bell, and Steve Bosworth. They are looking forward to two more happy and successful years. 35 Committee Chairmen, Roberta Wight, Kay Bratzlcr.

In their first year of high school, the members of the Freshman Class, under the leadership of Jerry Mushy, President; Mary Madzia, Vice-President; I.eRoy Eicher, Secretary; Harold Spross, Treasurer; and their sponsors, Mrs. Lipkey, Mrs. Byington, and Mrs. Davis, have come a long way toward achieving the high ideals they have set for themselves. Freshmen were well represented in sports. Many boys played on the reserve football, basketball, and baseball teams. Five girls, Mary Madzia. Peggy Greer, Judy Hagerman, Diane Kclty, and Vicky Shick were reserve cheerleaders. In October the freshmen were entertained by the Sophomore Class at the traditional reception. In October also, they added to their treasury the twenty-five dollar first prize for the best homecoming float. Class dues and selling refreshments at half of the basketball and baseball games provided other funds. They're on the way with a good record behind them and a still better one waiting to be made next year! 39 Freshmen Tom Aaron Lee Anderson Christine Ashley Dianne Baker Carol Barnard Larry Beaman Richard Bennett Janet Blood Chuck Blowers Jim Brookland Alice Brooks Shirley Brooks Beverly Brumm A Sara Buehler Sharon Byingtoi Chuck Clausen Jerry Cohen Gary Cooper Boh Crafton Dave Davidson Bill DeLind k Mary Dreps Marjorie Donaldson Gary Dygert LeRoy Eicher Judy Ellison Nancy Farr Jim Flanders Mary Jean Fulghum Clayton Furgala Ronald Gates David Glynn Peggy Greer Judy Hagerman Paul Haller Howard Hatch Martha Hickey Don Hill Fred Hoffecker Judy Hogle Linda Hogle Carol Hoke Darlene Hughes 40 Freshmen Judith Hulkonen Jerry Husby Bill Johnson Jim Jones Tom Katalenich Diane Kelty Jim Kiger Kenneth Kimball Sue Krider Joe Luttrell Mary Madzia Meredith Marshall Terry Mar .en Jim McDivitt Tom McNitt Ken Miller Jim Morgan Carol Mund Carolyn Paty Donna Peterson Carol Price Arthur Reese Karen Reynolds Richard Rich Loren Roberts Bonnie Seeley Keith Shaull Marjorie Sheldon Sandra Shermer Vicky Shick Harold Spross Donna St. Charles Bob Stacv Karen Stefflre Bob Stetler Gale Stevens Sharon Stoneham Gary Taber Bill Tomlinson Bill Way Ron Whitmore Patty Zalewski Bob Zuver 41 A uMM Eighth Grade Kristin Airola Paul Ashley Sharon Bohstedt Janies Breckcnfeld Jean Bredahl Jerry Brinker ) ______________ John Brocci Kenneth Brown Margaret Buxton Martha Cardone Mary Cardone Roger Clough Marion Coleman Lottie Crafton Gary Crandall Roberta Darragh Gerald Davidson Bill Dawson Lee Decker Dick Deloof Mardell Dietz Judy Donaldson Robert Dorn Tom Dreps Daryl Drew Gerald Edgecomb Dennis Emery David Ewing Dorothy Eackler Dick Flanders Judy Foster YVaymon Fulghum Ann Grettenberger June Griggs 42 Steven Guernsey Toni Gunn John Gustafson Cheryl Hamner Danny Hickey Deborah llill Dale Hoke Sandra Hulkonen Danny Hynes Pat Johnson Eighth n Sharon Katalenich Don Kiger Arlene Kimball Linda Kughn Kathy Kulsea Mike Largent Judy Lawrence Gary Link Mike Luck Charles Martin Janet Martin Ann McNitt Mary Miller John Mitchell Dennis Morrill Nancy Moulton David Nelson Lee Newland Dianne Newman Larry Nicholson Joan Pamment Janet Patterson Julie Powell Sharon Prether Eighth Grade n Rick Pruim Bruce Reason Barbara Reuffer Shep Richard Rosalie Rickey Gary Roberts Evelyn Seeley Kermit Shaull Doug Shields Lynn Sich Beth Sims Laurel Snider George Stacy Pauline Stamback Alden Stampfly Jack Standen Seventh Grade Stanley Allen Russell Anion Jack Baldwin James Barlow Starr Bates Pat Beach Gerry Blomquist Joyce Bredahl Skip Brightninn Bill Brown Marjorie Buxton Penny Cameron Mike Chappell Topper Coats David Cohen Dan Conklin Corinne Corkrey Walter Cornell 44 Eighth Grade ndra Stevens Ernest Stith Richard Stokes Dianne Stratton Bob Stump Carolyn Thiel Ruth Ann Thomas Ronald L'nruh Cliff VanDeusen Barbara Wakeman Janice Weaver Jerry Wight Mary Wilkins David Wright Bob Yeoman Marlene Zoss Not Pictured: Susan Eon Seventh Grade Dick Courtright Darlene Dashner Barbara Delamarter Don Dickinson Diane Dietz Clyde Donaldson Elaine Dorn Dean Dudley Dennis Dudley George Dunkelberg Linda Ellimvood Penny Emery John Eackler Nancy Ferrar Donald Fulghum Susan Gray Mark Hadley 45 Seventh Grade David Halliday Robert Hatch Bob Heaps Marsha Hodge Ruth Hoke Roy Hoskin Kathleen Johnson Phil Johnson Sheila Johnson Bill Jones Janet Kalush Martha Kenworthy Arthur Kimball Jackie King Carolyn Kinney Judy Klotz Blaine Knowles Ron Ko .ma Dick Largent Judy Lawrence Brian Lawton Mary Louise Leininger Sue Longest Don Love Charles Lyons Andrea Maccardini Linda Marlatt Gerry Marshall Jonathan Marshall Suzanne Martin Wayne McLaughlin Lynn Miller Sue Miller James Moulton Nancie Murphy Jon Newman 46 Seventh Grade Tom Nothstinc Lee ParkImrst I)oug Patterson Carol Piper Ward Rathhonc Marion Raymer Sue Reed Allan Reese James Ren .

Football As a result of the 55 season the first Ingham County League Championship in twenty-seven years was brought home to Okemos. The team, with seniors making up the nucleus, played good ball all season. The capable co-captains, Dick Barnard and Bob Bell, led the team to a season's record ol six wins and two losses. Allan Wells was the team's scoring leader followed by Garth Richey, who was named on the Detroit Times All-State Honorable Mention Squad. Mr. Kiley's squad got off to a blazing start with a 52-14 victory over Bath. The Chiefs were never in trouble in the impressive showing. The triumph started a six game winning streak. An 18-0 win over our arch-rival Haslett followed as the team continued to roll. The next week Okemos crushed Stockbridgc 33-13, thanks to a terrific performance by Darvin Mund as he scored the Chief's first three touchdowns. Successive victories over Dansvillc and Leslie followed as the team was under full steam. A thriller with Williamston was next with the Chiefs gaining a 19-13 triumph. Holt ended our streak with a hard fought 6-0 victory. Okemos put up a good fight, but the break didn't go our way. A letdown against Fowlervillc followed with Okemos coming out on the short end of a 26-13 score. This year Okemos started a new reserve football program under the direction of two new coaches, Mr. Taylor and Mr. Richey. The reserve team finished with a 3 won and 4 lost record. There were many promising freshmen and sophomore players. 70 First Row: Rex Glynn, Al Wells. Henry Visger, Allan Houghton. Boh Bell. Dick Barnard, Dick Cooper, Jerry Hunter. Babe Bennett.

Garth Richey broke the school record in the low hurdles with a time of 21.8 seconds. In their next meet they continued winning by walloping Mason and Leslie 42 to 24 Vi to 70 Vi. Then they defeated Dansville and Haslett 6 to 58 Vi to 67 Vi. After winning the first three track meets, things got tough, and Okemos lost the last four meets. In the Ingham County League Track Meet, Okemos placed third with 65 Vi points, while Stockbridge, the winner, had 93 Vi points. In a meet with Resurrection, Okemos lost with 40 points to their opponent's 60 points. In a triangle meet, the final score was Grand Ledge 60, Resurrection 34 Z2, and Okemos 33 points. In the Ingham County League Track Meet. Dick Cooper, in the 440 yard dash, and Russell Roosa, in the broad jump, registered badly needed first places. Stuart Reuffer, Bob Babcock, Kim Wilkins, Dave Perfect, and Bob Butcher, made very good showings in their respective events. Bad luck plagued the team: the breaking of star performer Garth Richey's foot during the Mason Meet and the illness of pole-vaultcr Max Greaser during the Ingham County Meet were felt by everyone.

Led by senior ace pitcher and batter John Grettcnbcrger, the team tied with Haslett for the championship of Ingham County League with a 5 won and 1 lost record. This shining record was achieved despite a bad start as the Chiefs dropped a close decison to Haslett, 9-8. After this defeat, the team began to roll. Victories over Stock-bridge 6-1, Williamston 9-3, and Leslie 5-2 are proof of this. The Fowlervillc game was a thriller for Okemos fans as pitcher John Grettenbcrger turned in a no-hit, no-run performance while Okemos piled up 17 runs. A 13-9 triumph over Dansville closed out the season. Dick Cooper tied John Grettenbcrger for the team batting title with a .435 average. Bob Babcock was Okemos’ other starting pitcher as he turned in a 2 won and 1 lost record. 1956 BASEBALL SCHEDULE April 17 - Dansville - There April 27 - Fowlerville - Here April 20 - Leslie - Here May 1 - Haslett - There April 24 - Williamston - There May 4 - Stockbridge - Here First Row: Dick Cooper.
