VALEDICTORY 6 Valedictory A wind came up out of the sea And said , “0 mists , make room for me” It hailed the ships , and cried , “SffiV 0 7, l e mariners , fAe n g i is gone” — H. W. Longfellow. Thus the poet pictures a sunrise on the ocean. The ships are in the harbor ready to set sail. We are in the harbor, too, waiting for the dawn. The sunrise which we perceive is less glorious than the one we have been anticipating during our four years of earnest endeavor, for a misty sky obscures our future. Still we realize that we have arrived at the dawn of our life’s work. No longer shall we be so carefully shel- tered by teachers and parents. We must shoulder our own responsi- bilities. Today our activities as a class cease; tomorrow we work as individuals. We do not feel, however, that this is a time of parting. We hope that our paths may meet in business associations which will be as pleasant as those in the class room have been. May our spirit of co-operation be strengthened rather than weakened as we go forward. These misty skies which we face are only temporary. However, we cannot ignore present conditions. Our forefathers accomplished much in spite of great handicaps. They overcame the darkness caused by night-fall; we must overcome the darkness which is due to the industrial and financial crisis that envelopes the earth. Let us accomplish our task in such a way as to verify our motto, “Sunrise not sunset ' so that the sun may seem to shine more brightly after this period of storm and stress. We have already secured much of the equipment which we are to use during our life. We have acquired the fundamental learning which will enable us to take up our duties in the business world or secure for us the entrance into a higher institution of learning. We have, also, formed social contacts, strengthened friendship and built character during these pleasant years in high school. Our success will be determined not simply by our preparation. The person with the best equipment may fail if he does not use it properly. It will be the effort which we put forth that will determine the winner. Perhaps we are now able to perceive the necessity of storms. Vege- tation cannot exist without a certain amount of rain; nor would human initiative and energy thrive if one knew the future would always lead to an easy, sunny pat h. In the history of our country depressions have been periodical. They are only periods of adjustment in the world of industry. When the former conditions of prosperity return, a greater degree of learning will doubtless be in demand. So even though our hands may be idle temporarily, we must strive to keep our minds con- structively employed in order to meet the highest possible requirements. To our faculty we wish to offer our gratitude for their untiring efforts in preparing us for this event. To our parents we express our thanks for the sacrifices they have made in our behalf. To the individual members of this graduating class we express the hope that our com- mencement will truly prove a sunrise, not a sunset. Nina VanValkenburgh. SALUTATORY 7 Salutatory Recognition, happiness, success — they stand outlined like three tall elm trees against an eastern sky when the greyness is slipping away from a spring dawn and the morning sun is sending its first rays over the edge of the world. They tower straight and firm, the three landmarks toward which we instinctively set our footsteps. During the past four years we have met success and failure; we have merited praise and reproach. If during these months we have gathered a few of the fundamentals of living, our time has been well spent. Graduation is not the achievement day that tradition has made it appear. We have not reached the final goal post; we are merely approach- ing the start of a race for which we have been preparing. We have come to the point where we must pause momentarily to make a brief resume of what we have done and to weigh the value of our preliminary achievements. It is for us to determine what we have that is worthy to be taken with us into the future and what will merely encumber us if we do not discard it. At times some of us have failed — miserably and completely. Our whole efforts have been directed along the wrong paths, and the things toward which we should have striven have been lost. But it is not what we have done that matters; those failures are a part of the past. We must turn our minds to the future and make it a success. When the school doors close behind us, they do not terminate the period in which criticism and classification are meted out to us. The rating that our teachers can no longer give us will be replaced by the ready judgment of our fellow men. They, like our teachers, will decide to whom shall go the praise and honors that are th eirs to give and will publish them abroad so that all may know who has made his life worth while. As yet we have done nothing but try to feel out for ourselves the ways of living. Now we are ready to begin our careers, and we must make a good beginning and must have the right aim. The praise of public opinion is sweet to taste, but too much of it is apt to spoil our intellectual impetuosity and to lessen our capacity for the things that have earned praise. Invariably the worth acknowledged by the few is overlooked by the many, but it is the only recognition really deserving of the name. It is for us to go forth to seek that which will make our lives and the lives of those about us richer and fuller. Choose to do what you enjoy, make the doing of it more important than any glory it can bring, and you will travel surely and safely up the road to true recognition, happi- ness, and success. Ella McIntyre. 8 SPORTS SPORTS Football Displaying their usual scrap and ability to “take it” the Red-White football team led by Captain Tom Woodward, finished the season with an envious record of seven wins and one loss. Coach Brick Fowler was greeted in September by ninety candidates reporting for practice, including six letter men. From this promising squad Coach Fowler and Willard Blackney built up a fine varsity squad averaging 165 pounds, and a better-than-average reserve team. The varsity squad, one of the finest in our school’s history, rolled up 153 points to a hard-earned 34 by the opposition. The locals only loss was a heartbreaking scrap to Mount Clemens, ancient rivals and unde- feated Class B state champs. On Friday, December 9, sixteen members of the squad were presented with letters at a noon pep meeting. Those receiving monograms were: Campbell Donaghy Emerich Lambert Woodward Buntrock Smith Murray Isabel McCabe Platzer Hayzlett Young Hayzley Willis Zeulkee, Manager Later the team elected Robert Isabel and Booker Hayzley as Co- Captains to guide their destinies in the 1933 season. Summary 41 Algonac 0 0 Mount Clemens - 12 7 Birmingham 3 15 Royal Oak - 0 38 Pontiac - 0 26 Fordson - 6 1 3 Ferndale 6 13 Flint School for Deaf 7 Basketball Coach Brick Fowler in the past has had a habit of producing great teams, and the Port Huron High basketball machine of ' 32 and ’33 was no exception. Brick developed from a squad of fine veteran letter win- ners and a group of promising youngsters a team to be proud of. The Red-Whites, led by Co-Captains Dan Smith and Alex Emerich, turned in a fine record of ten wins and six losses. Although the loss of Crawford, Smith and Ling at Midyear Graduation hit the team hard, the vacancies were ably filled and the locals went on into the Regional tournament, the winning of which it narrowly lost by a one point loss to a rejuvenated Royal Oak quintet. This year’s outfit was supported by one of Assistant Coach Blackney’s usual peppy squads of reserves, who gave the varsity plenty of competi- tion in practice and completed a creditable record of their own. SPORTS 9 Players winning the coveted varsity P. H. were Co-Captains Smith and Emerich, Jim Crawford, Norm Ling. A1 Millett. Dave McCollough, John Robinson, Howard Myron, Alan Brown.

Mr. Paulson was in charge. The first half of the schedule resulted in a championship for the 1 2A’s, as the older boys eas ily outclassed the others. The second half was all I 1 A, and these boys came through to victory. A feature of the first half schedule was an all star team chosen by Mr. Paulson. These boys played the reserves in a preliminary to a varsity game, taking the scrubs by a one sided score. Much interest has been shown in this intra-mural sport and it is hoped to be as successful in the future as it has been in the past. Track Coach Brick Fowler celebrated the beginning of his third season as track coach of P. H. H. S. when he greeted thirty candidates for the team on Roosevelt field early in April The group included nine letter- men who came out again this year ready for battle: “Speed” Campbell. Ralph Vos, “Stu” McCabe, Ernie Nagle, Oscar Hayslette, Harold Durrant, Louis Bond, “Book” Hazely, and Louie Linteau. Several 1 0 SPORTS speedy newcomers gave further strength to the squad, while many of last year’s team who didn’t get quite the number of specified points to win a monogram were out there plugging and expect to receive a coveted P. H. this year. The squad holds wins over Marine City, St. Clair and Algonac. but were on the small end of a dual meet with Royal Oak and triangular meet with Mount Clemens and Pontiac, who tied for first place. The Red-Whites are favored over Croswell in the last meet of the season. Many of the athletes of the team were almost sure point winners this season, coming through with points in nearly every meet. “Stu Mc- Cabe and Oscar Hayslett were at top shot-putting form at the close of the season, both men breaking forty-three feet. Campbell in the quarter mile, Hayzley in the high jump, Linteau in the mile and Durrant in the sprints, scored in nearly every meet. Several Roosevelt track records were broken this year, including the mark for the hundred yard dash, 120 high hurdles, 440 yard dash and 880 yard dash. Five men on the squad are to take part in the regional meet at Ypsilanti. They are: Linteau, Capt. McCabe, Campbell, Durrant. and Hayslette. Jack MacDonald was this year’s efficient manager. Baseball Forty candidates for the baseball team greeted Coach Willard Blackney this spring when the first call of the diamond was sounded. This year’s squad was a team of veterans who went places, as nine letter winners were back on the job. They were: Ernie Willis, Art May, “Lefty O’Neil, “Haze” Moran, “Book” Hayzley, Ed. Buntrock. “Cud Patterson, Milky Crawford, and “Vic Sari. However, there were several fast stepping youngsters out who saw battle during the season and will win monograms. The team faced real competition which included Pontiac, Royal Oak, Fordson, Adrian, and St. Stephen’s, but the Red-White sluggers de- pended upon experience and hurling ability to carry them through a successful season.

The first brackets were rapidly filled and a second tournament was necessitated. Thirty people entered the first tournament and twenty- four entered the second, showing that a high interest in the ancient sport exists among the student body. One feature of the tournament was the number of girls entered in the tournament, as the playoffs gave evidence of many future Lenglens and Moodys in the tourney. At this writing, the only finished bracket, 1 1th grade, was won by Gar Henry in straight sets from Verlin Treend. The other winners will be decided and an all-school champ will be chosen. Interclass Softball Mr. Paulson and Mr. Sommer are piloting the interclass softball league this year to a successful close. The Sophomores are showing class in this sport and both 1 OB and 10A at this writing are undefeated. All games are played on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school on the Tech diamond. The managers of the teams are: 12A E. Millet 1 IB S. Parent 12B R. Donaghy 10A H. Ailio 1 1 A E. Ailio 10B R. Morris Cheerleaders This year’s squad of cheerleaders was the largest and one of the best in the school’s history. Five veterans and eight recruits saw regular service at varsity games and pep meetings, two of the recruits coming through to win letters for their first year’s work. The squad this year inaugurated locally the idea of putting on comedy stunts at half time of the varsity basketball games. They also ran the book exchange in September and January, the profit of which was used for expenses and new equipment. They also led Red-White fans’ root- ing at out of town games. The squad, at an informal presentation of letters to six of the leaders, elected Steve Allen and Bill Brahany as co-captains for the 1933-34 athletic season. The leaders were: Steve Allen. Howard Ailio, Virgil Billings, John Busby, Clarence Brandenburg, Norman Barnes. Jack Davis. Jack Lloyd, Alex MacCreadie, Bill Stapleford, Bob Van Slambrouck, Jack Frost, and Bill Brahany. ORGANIZATIONS 12 ORGANIZATIONS National Honor Society The Port Huron Chapter of the National Honor Society has been active for many years. The society stands for superiority in scholarship, leadership, character, and service. In December, 1932, twelve new members were elected to the society. These were Ella McIntyre, Mary Slutsky, Norman Barnes, Enid Paige, Stewart McCabe, Isabel Cochrane, Kenneth Furman, Charlotte Hamil- ton. Jean West, Ruth Campbell, Vera Patterson, and Dorothy Kopal- nick. Formal initiation ceremonies were held on the evening of January 9, 1933. The active members, Alan Brown, Kate Davie, James Crawford, and Thomas Parent initiated the new members. Music was played by Mr. Hess and two of his pupils. Reverend Jonathan Turner later gave an inspiring talk. On the evening of May 17, five new members were elected to the society. These were Betty Daly. Gladys Clark, Frances Stallbuck. Nina Van Vankenburgh, and Mary Paige. This society is a worthy one because it represents such high ideals, and it is to be hoped that the society will continue to be as active as it has been this year. Student Council Early in the first semester of the school year the Student Council held the class elections. The council then held elections within itself and elected Jack Davis. President. Headed by him. the council carried on through the semester with the ease that becomes such a body.

The authors cleverly portray what a young automobile salesman with “ideas would do upon inheriting a young ladies boarding school. Complications arise in the Charm School when one of the students falls in love with the youthful principal. Things are finally straightened out when the young man decides to return to the automobile business and wait until the young lady reaches the maturity age.

First is the Alla Cappella Choir, a group of sixty boys and girls who have been singing together for two years. They meet ninth hour every day. This group furnishes music for baccalaureate services, graduation exercises, and other special occasions. They took part in the Bach Festival at Ypsilanti in 1932 and in 1933, and have appeared before the Port Huron Musicale, Ladies’ Library, and other local organizations. Gordon Glover is president of the choir; Helen Taylor, secretary; Harvey Shell, treasurer; and Emil Steinhaus, librarian. The organization next in importance to the choir is the class known as Vocal I. This group meets daily and serves as a feeder for the choir, the members who make good being transferred into the choir at the beginning of the year. There is an enrollment of 65 this semester. Be- sides being a preparatory class, they also have appeared on programs in special numbers. Eligibility for this class consists of one year’s previous training either in Junior High Glee Clubs or in the High School Chorus. The Chorus has a membership of 250. The only requirement for membership is a love for music and willingness to work. This group ORGANIZATIONS 15 meets once a week, Wednesday noon. Two public concerts were given this year, one at Christmas and one in May. The chorus also partici- pated in the County Festival at Algonac. Most of the choir and Vocal I members also belong to the Chorus. The fourth musical group — the Girls’ Ensemble, composed of Wini- fred Short, Edith Meinhardt, and Enid Paige, sopranos, Helen Taylor and Margaret Hyde, second sopranos, and Margaret Moore and Beatrice Foster, altos. This group has a varied repertoire and has appeared on many occasions both for school and outside affairs. The vocal department has financed all its activities for the year including the trips to Algonac and Ypsilanti. The annual choir banquet was held Wednesday, May 11th. Guests were Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Packard, Mr. and Mrs. A. Ross MacLaren, Miss Edna Fraser, Miss Marjorie Browne, Miss M. Jean Ross, Miss Laura Moore, and Miss Alvena Seibert. A dinner in honor of Mr. Frederick Alexander was held March 16th, on the occasion of his visit here in preparation for the Bach Festival. Modern Literature Club The Modern Literature Club was organized in the fall of 1932. The purpose of this club is to make a study of the works of the modern and living authors. The members were divided into groups according to the type of literature on which each preferred to work. At each meeting a special type was discussed under the leadership of a group chairman. The officers for the first semester were as follows: President - ELLA McIntyre Vice-President - - - MARGARET MOORE Secretary - ARTHUR Howe The officers for the second semester were: President - GLADYS CLARKE Vice-President - - - DORIS WARREN Secretary - MARY PAIGE Library Club The Library Club, under the direction of Miss Hilton, met in the school library Tuesday afternoons after school. Every other Tuesday reports on subjects relating to libraries and library work were given by the members of the club. The alternate Tuesdays the students who joined the club in September received instruction in the routine work of the library and the use of reference books. Special activities of the club included planning and carrying out the observance of Good Book Week and special bulletin board displays in the library arranged by members. ORGANIZATIONS 16 French Club The Port Huron High School French classes under the supervision of Miss Virginia Everham, faculty adviser, organized a French Club in September. The following officers were elected for the year: President Vice-President Secretary T reasurer Reporter Kate Davie Norman Barnes Rosemary Kesl Elwood Redmond Vera Patterson Meetings were held in Room 206 every second week. Formal initia- tion was held the second meeting of the club and later in the semester interesting programs were presented by members. The object of this organization was to aid French students to speak the language more fluently and to interest students in the customs of that country. Spanish Club The High School Spanish Club reorganized under the direction of Mr. Guerra. At an election the following officers were chosen: President - - - NlNA VAN VALKENBURG Vice-President - - KENNETH FURMAN Secretary - - - ETHEL HULL Initiation party for new members was held in the high school audi- torium. The club held bi-weekly meetings at which programs were presented and Spanish songs were sung. Miss Daisy Hudson, from Buenos Aires, addressed the club at one meeting. The club has made plans for a picnic May 29. German Club The German Club is one of the most interesting organizations in the Port Huron High School. Its aim is to encourage the use of the German language outside of classes and to acquaint the members with new social and political terms used at the meetings. Bruno Appel was president of the fall organization of the club. Wesley Kemp was vice-president: Dorothy Kopolnick, secretary and treasurer; Ruth Wollen, chairman of the program committee, and Evangeline Fraser-Lee, editor of the “Schulbeabachter.’ the only club paper published in this school. The club made a study of famous German composers and their works. At the beginning of the January semester the club reorganized and another election was held. Dorothy Kopalnick was elected president: Dorothy Klaas, vice-president: Helen Klaas, treasurer and secretary; Evelyn Scheiman, chairman of the program committee; Eugene Wilton, ORGANIZATIONS 1 7 chairman of the business committee, and Robert Neuman, editor of the paper. Due to the serious illness of Miss Rothman, the club adviser, it was decided that the annual spring picnic would not be held. On May 9, the club adjourned for the year. Civics The civics classes of the first semester held an essay and an oratorical contest. All members of the civics classes prepared either an essay or an oration on the subject of “International Peace. Clarence Fountain won a medal for his essay on Cannon Internationale. Isabel Cochrane won the medal for the oratorical contest. Dramatics Club The Dramatics Club, under the leadership of Miss Leona M. Hill, enjoyed one of its most successful years with a membership of 115 pupils. William Mann was unanimously elected president for the second consecutive time. Bertram North was elected vice-president, and Kenneth Furman, secretary. Many humorous skits and programs were presented at the regular weekly programs during the year. Among these, a comical version of a medicine show was probably the best. Norman Barnes, Jack Davis, Bertram North, William Mann, and Howard Ailio took part in this program. To carry out the annual custom, four plays were presented to the public. They were as follows: “Babbitt ' s Boy, di- rected by Kenneth Furman; “A Proposal Under Difficulties, Esther Berryman, director; “The Kleptomaniac, Ruby Durette, director; and “Sauce for the Gosling. directed by Dorothy Weichsler. The plays were a success and closed the year for the club satisfactorily. Gavel Club The Forum Club was reorganized this year under the name of the Gavel Club. Miss Etta Reid was the faculty adviser, and the officers elected were: President - CHARLOTTE HAMILTON Vice-President - EARL AlLIO Secretary - KENNETH FURMAN Bi-weekly meetings were held at which several debates, as well as many interesting talks on civic problems, were given. Debating The question used by the interscholastic debaters this year was, “Resolved, That the State of Michigan should adopt a state income 1 8 ORGANIZATIONS tax.” Those who represented Port Huron in their debates with other schools were: Gordon Glover Doris Warren Earl Ailio Art Howe Dale Ormston There were four debates: Wyandotte, Ferndale. Pontiac, and Royal Oak. Embroidery Club There are about twenty-five members in the club. Thirteen interest- ing meetings were held this semester. The two outstanding reports were one on wool by Eva Clifford, and one on Period Furniture by Ivernia Zimmer. In this latter report a complete description of the furniture in the White House was included. The officers of the club were: President, Beatrice Willis: Vice- President, Jean Pickard: Secretary and Treasurer. Mary Cowan; Pro- gram Chairman, Kathleen Alloway; and members of the committee were: Ruth Lewis. Marion Sischo, and Lenora Lane.
