One: To provide in pictures and words, a permanent record of events for the memory Two: To give to those deserving, recognition for work well done, and also to recognize all students Three: To exhibit journalistic and artistic talents Four: To present an accurate picture of student life of that year Student Of e Active at Z S One of the most important parts of an education is learning to get along with others, or social development. At Richmond High, student social activ- ities play an important part in each day's life, whether they be spontaneous discussions at noon hour or well planned plays and activ- ities. Students study together, decorate to- gether, or are just plain together. All of this activity helps the students to grow, not only mentally but emotionally. Though knowl- edge learned in studies is very useful, the memories of the student life will keep echo- ing through the years. Student Cife Mas Many dorms Jt Js Seen Everywhere Students use the library as a place to study at noon or during the day. The library is a helpful place to students dur- ing life at R.H.S. The Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem start off each day at R.H.S. Here, students rise to hear our country's song. at K.H.S. Cife In the Classroom Freshman students get used to tests like this one in Freshman English. Typing class calls for precision and accuracy. Energetic students like Dave Hill are always eager for help from Mrs. Mathiak. Government takes a lot of studying, and these seniors look like they are hard at work. Mr. Roos occasionally gives them an R and R day to help them along, or perhaps they will have a trial to learn about our court system. In all classes at Richmond students learn a variety of things. Their scope of learning stretches, as our pictures show, from English fundamentals to the commercial arts. “Qndiron Qhry” Proves to Homecoming 1962 Left to Right: Dennis Pentzein, Fresh.; Jim Stern.

Not Pictured: COLETTE MACKLEY JAMES THORNE A Senior's ’Diary Sept. 5 Struggled through registration. Strange feeling has been with me all day. Have visions of books, teachers, and lessons haunting me the rest of the year. Sept. 6 Alas! Miserable day! Unfortunate me! School starts! Sept. 14 First football game--with Romeo. We lost! Looks like another fruit- less year, in more ways than one. Latest crush was holding hands with my best friend. Sept. 17 Had senior pictures taken. To girls before me, photographer said, Oh what a pretty face. To me he said, Oh what an unusual face!' Oct. 11 Hurrah! No school today and tomorrow. Teachers are at Institute learning how to stay smarter than we students. Oct. 15 Measured for caps and gowns. Almost hung myself on tape measure. Have visions of how delightful I shall look on graduation night! Oct. 17 Voted today for Homecoming Queen. Am sure that my beauty, per- sonality, and other obvious talents influenced many voters. Oct. 24 Report cards came out. Just can't go home. Hope park benches aren't filled. Oct. 25 Name not on Honor Roll. Obviously a printing error. Oct. 26 Homecoming game. The candidates’ radiant beauty outshown the team. We lost. So did I. Oct. 27 Coronation is huge success! Mariane Mantay is Queen and Keith Potter is King. Nov. 2 Last football game. We beat Yale. Feel sure we could have won all season if other teams hadn’t been so good! Nov. 6 Got senior pictures. Look like dead duck in last stages of decompo- sition. Nov. 13 P. T.A. Open House. Ushered. Feet hurt from walking. Ears ache from harsh words of parents. Nov. 21 Thanksgiving vacation begins. Just think, four whole days to do nothing but sleep. Nov. 26 I'm so tired. Did nothing but party all during vacation. Can't wait till Christmas vacation to sleep. Nov. 30 First basketball game--Chippewa Valley. We won. Just know we'll go all the way this year. Nov. 31 Last night of All School Play-- Our Town. Have crush on the young kid--Bruce, I think his name is. Dec. 8 Drove parents to the polls to vote Yes on millage increase. Also was very generous and drove neighbor, too. He voted No. We lost. Dec. 13 No school. Teachers are having conferences with parents. Played deathly ill, but mother insisted on leaving me while she talked with teachers. Mother just came home. I am sick. Dec. 17 Choir concert. Am convinced I should be a Metropolitan Opera star! Dec. 21 Faculty Appreciation Day. Presented teachers with flowers. Wish Mr. Roos’s carnation had been blue to match his eyes! Dec. 22 Hurrah! No school for two weeks! Just think no gnawing teachers. Can just relax. Dec. 31 Whee! ! Jan. 1 Ouch! Jan. 2 Thank goodness I can get back to school tomorrow! I'm even tired of sleeping. Besides, I've missed those sweet, generous teachers-- and all the boys. Jan. 3 Back to the same old grind. Can't wait till semester break. I need a vacation! Jan. 17 Was late to class today. Had to get an excuse from the office. There is absolutely no tolerance in this school! Jan. 22 Crammed for exams. Head is bursting with knowledge. Jan. 26 J-Hop. I looked radiant. Can't understand how Junior girls kept evening gowns up without straps or sleeves. This taxes my imagina- tion! Jan. 28 Saw Mr. Rop in the hall today. He has a black eye. Just can't un- derstand how a shy man like him could have such a mark of distinc- tion! Jan. 30 Got report card. Head is splitting from Mother’s yelling. Feb. 5 Faculty pictures for Echo came today. Mr. Rop is a gas! He insists on a retake. Feb. 15 Yearbook staff politely threatens students with knives to buy yearbooks. Must remember to bring my money tomorrow. Feb. 23 Drove parents to the polls again. Was not so generous today. We still lost. Feb. 24 Watched glowing seniors on Quiz ’em on the Air. Flame not as bright as I had hoped. They lost--probably stage struck. March 7 Basketball tournament. We beat Armada. Am hoarse from shriek- ing cheers wildly. March 9 Second game of tournament. B-E-A-T Capac, are we wonderful! Are we superb! Are we colossal! We lost. March 13 Report cards. Must conclude, diary, for awhile and use the time for study or will grace these halls next year. March 17 Deadline for final copy of yearbook. Am convinced it will be the best ever. April 13 Am going on Senior Trip. Just know I'll have a ball! April 16 Am on Senior Trip. Haven't had time to write. No sleep for two nights. Probably will fall asleep in Senate tomorrow. April 17 Was unable to sleep in Senate. Surrounded by too many handsome beasts. April 18 Went to zoo. Can't think who that one big ape reminded me of. April 22 Wore my Easter outfit to school. Saw two others like it. Was so sure it was an original. May 11 Choir concert. I was great! Expect to hear from the Met any day. May 18 Junior-Senior Banquet. Acted like a perfect lady. Didn’t even crunch celery. Got date for the prom. May 28 Shopped for new evening gown for the prom. Got one. Look unbear- ably beautiful in it. June 1 Prom. Lost shoes twice while dancing. Finally took them off. Re- turned home in the wee hours of the morning. Attempted to crawl through window and got stuck. Tore my gown. Had to be rescued. June 7 Step-up Day. Wore out five handkerchiefs. June 8 Crammed for exams. Head once again bursting with knowledge. June 9 Baccalaureate service. Just can't believe big day almost here. June 10 Am exempt from exams. Have no further use for knowledge. June 12 Had terrible nightmare. Kept hearing voices going, Whew! Whew! Whew! May I have your attention, please?” June 13 Commencement. House filled with proud relatives. Today I am a graduate—No longer a Senior. June 14 Drove past school today. Wish now I'd stayed home. Will probably not find time to write anymore, Dear Diary, . . . am making great plans for the future. J Picture for the Diary Coronation night. Can you ever forget the '63 Coronation? Can you forget your date or flowers. Queen Mariane and King Keith, or the un- successful attempt at cascading balloons?

Class History As we, the class of 1963, look back over our years in high school, we find that we have had many enjoyable and sometimes, unhappy experiences. Our journey through these four years of high school is comparable to the journey which one of the United States astronauts has made into space. The first step in this journey is the take-off. We, as freshmen, took-off for high school in September 1959. The persons who ignited the fuel for this take-off were: Mariane Mantay, president; Milton Fistler, secretary, Colette Shrader, vice-president; and Mary Lou Hartway, treasurer. The managers of this event were our advisors, Mr. Jenkins and Coach Dame. The most important part of our take-off was Freshman Initiation, which was held October 16. None of us will ever forget seeing the boys wearing make-up and one high heel and buckle boot, or the girls wearing their father's shoes and not having their hair combed after washing it the night before. On October 23 we enjoyed our first Homecoming celebration. Mariane Mantay and John Holmes were our representatives on the Homecoming court. Green as we were to life at R. H.S., we soon entered in by helping with the move to the new high school, holding a paper drive, and selling stationery. As a climax to the take-off we spent a very enjoyable day at Metropolitan Beach on our class picnic. After getting a good start on our journey, we were able to leave behind one part of our rocket and enter into the second stage of the trip. Helping us to continue our journey were; Ken Rasmussen, president; Linda Mabley, vice-president; Judy Orris, secretary; and Sharon Gramzow, treasurer. Our leaders for this were Mr. Bowman and Mr. Beardsley. This time it was our turn to initiate the freshmen into high school, and we really enjoyed making up for all of the tricks that were played on us. Soon the time for the Coronation Ball rolled around again. Our representatives for our sophomore year were Linda Mabley and Jerry Papuga. In November we chose the style of our class rings, and on the day that they arrived, we proudly showed everyone, (especially the freshmen), that we were now approaching our years as upperclassmen. Our final get-together for our Sophomore year was held at Lakeside Park on a cold, rainy day. As we entered our Junior year, we left the second stage of our rocket behind and started toward our final goal. The persons who handled the controls for this third stage were Milton Fistler, president; Harvey Brown, vice-president; Jill Fryer, secretary; and Mariane Mantay, treasurer. The advisors for this part of our journey were Mr. Brown and Mr. Bowman. Fall brought football games, and for the Homecoming game we chose Mary Lou Almstadt and Harvey Brown as our representatives. On February 3, we experienced the fun and work of holding a prom. The theme for our J-Hop was Winter Magic. Throughout the evening we danced around a huge snowman placed in the middle of our winter scene and enjoyed refreshments in our ski lodge. This prom will be remembered as one of the most unforgettable moments of our high school years. (Who could ever forget the number of napkins we used in our deco- rations!) In May we presented the Junior play, Our Three Girls, at the Roosevelt Civic Auditorium. Ken Rasmussen, Jim Ferguson, and Tom Marker provided many laughs as Our Three Girls. As we approached our final step of our journey through high school, we entertained the class of 1962 at the annual Junior-Senior Banquet. Our banquet was held at Sid's in Algonac. At this banquet the members of the Junior class who were selected as mem- bers of the National Honor Society were announced, and we were very pleased to find that we had ten members of our class represented. As always, the year had to end, and this time we spent our last days at Ipperwash Beach in Canada. In September of 1962 we began our final step in our journey through high school. The year began with the taking of senior pictures, and almost everyone was happy with the results. Guiding our rocket on its last step were Tom Marker, president; Keith Potter, vice- president; Janice Krause, secretary; and Marilyn Gramzow, treasurer. Aiding us on our jobs were Mrs. Ferguson and Mr. Brown. Chosen as Homecoming King and Queen were Mariane Mantay and Keith Potter. Other members of the court were: Sharon Gramzow, Mary Lou Almstadt, Ed Stern and Ed Riggs. The Coronation Ball, sponsored by the Senior Class was held October 27. The theme for the dance was Gridiron Glories. The decorations were centered around a football field. As usual, something had to go wrong. This time the balloons wouldn't fall from the ceiling during the crowning. This final year of our journey involved many expenses, and to earn money to pay for the various activities, we sold magazines, held a bake sale and a chili supper, and sponsored the carnival. To climax our journey through high school, we enjoyed ourselves on the Senior trip, and at the Junior-Senior Banquet and Senior Prom. As we, the class of 1963, now complete our trip, we can look forward to a bright future, just as astronauts look hopefully into the wide world of outer space. Throughout high school we have had our moments of work and play, disappointments and rewards; and each one has been very valuable to us. We hope that each class which follows us can experience the same type of fun and work as they travel on their journeys. This group of Seniors and their dates seem to be enjoying the J-Hop of 1963, one of the many activities of their four years of high school. Prophecy Looking into the future, in the year 1973, we see some of the members of the great class of '63 assembled at ROD DELANY'S bachelor apartment in California for another of Rod's great parties. As we scan the room we see VERNAMAE BRINCEFIELD, now a top obstetrician, and KEN RASMUSSEN, her head nurse, at her side. Talking to them are MARILYN GRIFFIN and her husband LEE. They are making their fourth appointment with Vernamae. We see Marilyn’s cousin, SHARON, dancing cheek to cheek with her Marine hus- band who is on leave. MARY ALMSTADT has flown over to the party from her beach hut in Hawaii, where she lives with her husband and six kids. Mary Lou is talking to her best friend MARY WEINERT about some of the great times they had back at R. H. S. It took us a • while to finally recognize Mary Weinert. She had fulfilled her threat and dyed her hair black. We are astounded to find four beatniks sitting on the floor in the corner. Upon closer inspection, we recognize them to be our old classmates LORNA BAITENGER, LEORA FISTLER, KATHY RYALL, and MADELYNN DUPREE. They are discussing their newly rented Greenwich Village apartment. We notice that JOHN HOLMES looks quite happy tonight. Could it be that he has finally persuaded Castro to join forces with him? Looking about us, we notice that there are many from that great class of '63 who have attained stardom. HARVEY BROWN is now a professional basketball player for the Harlem Globe Trotters. JIM HEINRICH has changed his name to William Tell and has his own TV show. RON STAHL is Lloyd Bridges's understudy on the Sea Hunt program. SUE GUTT has finally fulfilled high school prophecies and become Suzie Wong. BERTIE LYNCH is a nationally known columnist, and has taken over for Dear Abby. BEV HILL is now the star of the top rated TV show, The Beverly Hillbillies. BONNIE TROMBLEY and EUNA MAE BUCKNER are both top models in their fields. Bonnie models for Vogue, and Euna Mae models children's clothes for Sears and Roebuck. JIM FER- GUSON is now Richmond's most popular candidate for Mr. America. MILTON FIST- LER has astounded the nation and has even beaten Bobby Kennedy's record for being the youngest Attorney General in history. RICHARD FISTLER is no longer the slow-moving guy we knew him as. He now holds the U. S. Olympic record in the 100 yard dash. Richard's wife Pat and their two kids attend every track meet and cheer him on. SANDY MUDGE is married to Fred and is also a TV star. She left rehearsals of her latest play to attend the party. She is playing Goldilocks on The Shirley Temple Theater. We recently read about DAVE HILL in the newspapers. He was the first man in history to cross Niagara Falls on a tight rope, on his motorcycle. RON KAATZ is a famous artist painting pictures on Kellogg cereal boxes. Ron is talking to two other Kellogg employ- ees. RON CAMPAU works in the advertising department. He writes corn flake adver- tisements. BOB GARDINER pops sugar in the Sugar Pops Department. We hear a bit of music coming from the corner, and find FRAN RILEY and her combo accompanying star opera singer MARY HART WAY. In another part of the room we hear EDDIE RIGGS telling some of the boys about his business. It seems he owns a string of Playboy night clubs. JANICE KRAUSE is his head Bunny girl. CAROL WORMSBACHER is his star bubble dancer, and ELAINE CLANCY is head chef at his best club. There are many successful business men and women from our great class, though not quite as successful as Eddie. TOM DICKENSON is half owner of Lady Clairol Hair- coloring Company. KEN FELIX and CORBETT HAMPTON are partners in the You Fix It - We'll Wreck It garage. ED HARM now owns his old stomping ground. The Thrift- way. JOHN RODZOS is a well-to-do dairy farmer. JIM PAEHLIG is part owner of Vic Tanny and Jim Paehlig, Inc. After his experience as President of the Senior Class, Tom Marker is now President of Winton, Inc. TERRY KRUM is head of his own company, Krummy Kookies. LARRY KAATZ is managing the Memphis Hotel. JOE SZYSKA has his own truck farm. JIM THORNE has taken over his father’s barber shop. JANET WAG- NER is now the owner of the Richmond Drive-In. ED STERN, after marrying Lois, is raising 300 cows and 5 kids. JIM SCHULTZ owns his own Texaco. That car bug BOB LOBERT owns his own used car lot. MARLENE OBERLIESON and GERRY GEIRKE are still good friends and partners in a party store in Marine City. MARV BAUMAN'S business is giving the old Co-op a bit of competition. RON BOUCHER owns a plush establishment entitled Boucher's Billiards. We discover that we even have a few persons well known in the educational field at the party. DENNIS DRIEM is the most absent-minded professor on the Michigan State campus. After being voted class pest, LARRY JOHNSON has continued his fine record and graduated at the head of his class at U. of M. MICKEY SAMOLEJ is head Polish in- terpreter at the United Nations. WALTER FORSEILLES has just received his Master’s De- gree in English from U. of M. We find LYLE BERKEY in the kitchen surrounded by glasses. He is trying to break his record for drinking the most water. Another record holder is SANDY UPLEGER. She writes faster backwards than anyone known. ORVILLE VANMARTER holds the record for twisting the longest. Many of the girls from the class of ’63 are living quiet, peaceable lives with their husbands. KAREN FISTLER and BRENDA STERN are neighbors in Memphis. MARILYN BLACK is living in New York with her husband, and ANNA MAE DONOVAN and her hus- band have just returned from Marilyn’s. They were Godparents for Marilyn's third child. BARBARA CHALTRON is touring Europe with her husband. KAREN DALRICK is now Mrs. Marv Sebastian and is substitute teaching after her latest little bundle of joy has arrived. JILL FRYER, proving O. G. Fitzgerald wrong, is now happily married to Bob. ALAN and SHARON JENKINS still live in Richmond. Sharon has taken over her mother-in-law’s job as secretary at R. H. S. , and Alan is now head custodian. JUDI ORRIS is also working at R. H. S. She is teaching English to the class of ’73. We see STAN NEWMAN talking to RANDY RUSS. Stan is telling Randy about his new '73 Corvair, and Randy is telling him about his fascinating work. It seems he has replaced Bucky Beaver in the Ipana Ads. In another part of Rod’s apartment we see old friends DENNIS DALRICK and ED SCHADE. Dennie now is a successful rancher in Arizona, and Ed has replaced Yul Brynner. It seems that some talent scout saw him way back in '63 when he, Keith, and Eddie shaved their heads. Another of classmates was discovered while in high school. Somehow the ad- vertising department of Maidenform heard of DON LUCAS'S great song and hired him immediately. The late for everything kids, MARLANE MANTAY and KEITH POTTER are ex- pected shortly. Mariane now owns Marlane's Pastry Shop and Keith coaches basketball at R. H.S. We see a handsome guy who seems to be the life of the party. Why it’s BYRON DALKERT. He’s no longer the shy, backward guy we knew him as. He’s now Ameri- ca's most eligible bachelor. There are a few who couldn't attend Rod's party. It seems CHRIS HENSCH is on her honeymoon in Europe. She was a C. P. A. for five years and has just eloped with her millionaire boss. CHRIS RAU is also touring Europe. She's a fat lady in the circus. ED ROBERTS hasn't been seen for nine years. The teachers at R. H. S. requested that he be sent into orbit. No one has seen JERRY PAPUGA lately either. It appears he became so frustrated with his women problems that he has joined a monastery. JANICE SUTTON is in Paris, a famous hairdresser for French Countesses. We hear that JERRY STRUTZ has wound up on skid row, ’’ after trying to figure the odds on roulette. COLETTE MACKLEY couldn't make the party because Mike, following in his mother’s footsteps, is in the national spelling bee finals. Having enjoyed the very successful party at Rod’s we must now return to the present and anxiously await for that year of 1973. TAYLOR PUBLISHING COMPANY
