Time Marches On In September of 1944 fifteen of the seventy seniors who will graduate in June started on the road to education in the little white school in Okemos. As the years passed we increased our numbers and left the carefree days of the grades to enter the serious years of high school. During our Freshman year we were under the leadership of President, Stuart Reuffer; Vice-President, Jack Weiss; Secretary, Ruth Davidson; and Treasurer, Ed Thomas. In addition to the class officers we were carefully guided by our sponsors, Mrs. Clemow and Mr. Kapalla. In order to finance our operations we sold refreshments at the basketball and football games. The first of our successful dances was the Turkey Hop, with Jerry Warren's orchestra furnishing the musical background. Due to our success with our first dance we were encouraged to secure Jerry Warren's orchestra again in the spring for our Spring Serenade, which was equally profitable- Our Sophomore career had a fine start with the following officers: President, Jim Kreider; Vice-President, Jack Hagerman; Secretary, Elaine Kalush; and Treasurer, Tim Willis. We welcomed the Freshmen with a party and had a class supper in the school gym. We continued selling refreshments at the basketball and football games. We gave the Harvest Moon dance with music supplied by Earl Henry and his orchestra. To complete the dynamic Sophomore year we held a Sadie Hawkins record dance for the entire high school. We began our Junior year with Ed Berry's orches- tra supplying the music for another fabulous all-high party. Our class proved its dramatic ability by putting on our Junior Play, But Fair Tomorrow, under the direction of Miss Schram. The whole class made it an entertaining and worthwhile project. More additions to our class treasury were obtained through the sales of ice cream. The highlight of the school year was the Junior-Senior banquet and prom, held in the Union Building. Blue and silver place cards and programs carried out the theme Now Is The Hour. After a delicious dinner, we danced to the music of Earl Henry and his orchestra. The class officers for the Junior year were President, Tony Brocci; Vice-President, Alice Burch; Secretary, Bonnie Andrus; and Treasurer, Jackie Paty. The year went by swiftly and before we knew it we were Seniors. We began our last year in high school with a Homecoming Dance . Senior Class representatives Max Creaser and Connie Emery were chosen Homecoming King and Queen- Following the Homecoming ceremonies, we sorrowfully gave our last dance, a Halloween party held in the school gym, as students of Okemos High School. In the spring we were guests of the Juniors at the Junior-Senior Prom. Suddenly graduation was upon us with Baccalaureate Sunday and a week later the big day of Commencement with Dean Ernest O. Melby as our speaker. We express our gratitude to Mrs. Clemow and Mr. Kapalla, our high school sponsors. We hope that the future years will enable us to carry out the aims that we have set for ourselves. 1 7 John Bratzler Bratz Wise men for the most part are silent.

Okemos High has given us confidence that we can meet this challenge. Our problems at the present time are being solved with the help of our officers: President, Bob Butcher; Vice-President, Roger Shull; Secretary, Sue Telling; Treasurer, Nancy Hull; and our sponsors, Mrs. Reed and Mrs. Byington. We have many dates circled on our calendar signifying social events. Our Christmas Semi-Formal, Silver Bells , was held in the Gym with music supplied by Lorin Richtmeyer and his band. The Junior- Senior Prom was held in the Union Building at Michigan State University with Billy Richard's band supplying the music- Each of these activities will long be remembered as highlights of our Junior year. Our bank account has grown substantially as a result of ice cream sales every Tuesday and Thursday noon and the presentation of the traditional Junior play. The many memorable activities in which we have engaged as Juniors give promise for a bright and exciting future. •JC Ice Cream Sales Silver Bells Sheila Bates Barbara Bell Ron Berner Ethel Bickel Kay Bratzler Bob Butcher Jim Byington Dave Cardone Nancy Carter Juniors Nancy Chandler Bob Cooper Valada Courtright Sandy Crego Rosemarie Dashner Dick Dickinson Mary Louise Donaldson Sue Edwards Dave Ellinwood Hugh Farr Laura Gingery Eleanor Griggs John Haga Alan Harvey Nancy Henderson 1C Carol Hogle Case Hoonhout Nancy Hopkins Nancy Hull Dennis Jason Don Keck John Laird Jerry Largent Jim Larnard Charmaine Loudenslager Dorothy Nelson Douglas Nelson Juniors Martha Parisian Iris Jean Prentice Mary Ratermann Lora Rathbone Sara Jo Reed Dennis Rich Jim Scheidt Roger Shull Charles Sower Jean Sproul Lynne Stuerhof Jim Sylvester Sue Telling George Van Duesen Tom Wagner Ted Warner Ron Webster Roberta Wight ' Not Pictured: Jerry Cairns Jane Gifford 37 Cheese It!

We all enjoyed Ring Committee the Ladder working on our float for the Homecoming Parade; Diane Kelty represented our class in the queen's court. In the spring we gave a high school dance which was enjoyed by everyone. We were well represented in all school activities. Many of our boys went out for football, basketball, track, and baseball. Diane Kelty was on Varsity and Vicky Shick and Mary Madzia were on Reserve cheerleading squads. Keep your eye on this class! We have completed two successful years at Okemos High and we are looking forward to an even better future.

Even though we have taken only one step upward we think that we have made a fine beginning. Members of our class have participated in a number of activities. The girl chosen to represent us in the queen's court at Homecoming was Ann Grettenberger, and we were very proud of her. We held a class skating party at the Michigan State University ice rink on Thanksgiving eve and a good time was had by all I Putting on our first all-high dance, the Heart Hop, was fun. Valentine decorations added to the gayety of this record dance. At basketball games we sold refreshments to add to our treasury and credits. Our sponsors are Mrs. Kelly, Mr. Richey, Mr. Walbridge, and Mrs. Halliday. Jim Breckenfeld, Gary Roberts, and Don Kiger have served as our S.R.A. representatives.

S R A The principal purpose of the Student Representative Assembly is to establish a better relationship between the students, the faculty, and the administration. Just as important are the aims to create a greater sense of responsibility, leadership, and cooperation among ourselves and to promote the general welfare of Okemos High School. The S.R.A. has functioned smoothly and efficiently this year under the leadership of Jack Weiss, President; Jim Kreider, Vice-President; Barbara Bell, Secretary; Tony Brocci, Treasurer; and Mr. Baker and Mr. Arasim, Faculty Advisors. The S.R.A. this year, as in the past, has tried to promote better school spirit. Activities this year have been Homecoming, hobo day, shutterbug day, and clean-up day. The assembly, social, and publicity committees have aided in these projects. The members of the S.R.A. took a tour of the school during Education Week to see what improvements could be made. Their suggestions were then presented and discussed at the White House Conference on Education in which all members participated. The president and selected members attended Community Council meetings throughout the year. Jack Weiss, Jim Kreider, Barbara Bell, Mr. Baker and Mr. Arasim were this year's representatives to the State Student Council meeting in Ann Arbor. r a Who’s Who HONOR SOCIETY — Seated: Sara Jo Reed, Lynne Stuerhof, Kay Bratzler, Lynne Johnson, Jeanne Katalenich, Carol Hogle.
