DEDICATION To the generous persons and groups who have presented our school with gifts during the past yearsg this volume of the Salinean is dedicated with the hope that it might in a small way express our gratitude and appreciation THE SALINIAN of SALINE HIGH SCHOOL PUBLISHED BY The Journalism Club MANY PEOPLE HAVE COOPERATED IN THE IMPROVEMENT OF SCHOOL LAWNS The school lawn has been recently landscaped. The project was set up by the U iversity of Michigan landscape architect. Through the cooperation of friends of Mr. Hubert A. Bearss, super- intendent, nearly one thousand dollars worth of evergreens and shrubbery were given by an institution of the State of Michigan. The F.F.A. boys and instructor, Mr. Henry Burgess, did the work of planting the shrubs. Saline school student body has cooperated in an excellent manner in protecting the lawn, and the shrubbery. The elementary grades have kept the lawn free from papers and debris. The jun- or high schoo has helped with cutting the grass. The senior high school has helped the F.F.A. boys in taking care of the shrubbery and the main lawn. , fe .mt 3, , , X4 'v Hubert A. Bearee, Sup't. Univ.

The five succeed- ing years passed swiftly, and our teachers were: Mrs. Ambrose Ernst, Mrs. Arthur Lutz, Miss Mary Morden Miss Esther Bowen, and Mrs. Leonard Hutzel. In 1935, we timidly trooped upstairs to enter Junior High for our seventh and eighth grades. We were proud and happy to become members of the high school, although our position was merely that of freshmen. The Class of '38 had the privilege of initiating the largest freshman class ever in this school, the number at that time was 63. Our Sophomore year was rather uneventful, but Maurine Harwood brought honor to the class by winning the declamation contest, she also won the Junior and senior oration contests. Mr. Hazen Jewell was our class sponsor. We finally 'struck our stride' in our Junior year with two different sorts of entertainment. First, the Junior play, entitled nCrazy House' was presented. Members of the cast worked very hard to make the play a success. The second event, was the J-Hop. Mrs. Washburn, Mr. O'Bradovich and Mr. Harms cooperated with the Ju ior class in making the event a great success. The auditorium was decorated to represent Tara, the home of Scarlett O'Hara, from the movie nGone with the Wind'. Warren Rentschler was the president of this class. During this year B. Bamer and V. Jacobs of the class participated with one senior and one sophomore as a unit mile relay team which won the Class C trophy at Mt. Pleasant. This was the first trophy that the school had won in any sport. More boys from the Junior class participated in sports that year than from any other class and helped immensely in the winning of the Huron League All-Sports Trophy. We also won the intermural activities trophy which was presented to the school by Mrs. Unterkircher in memory of her late husband Doctor Unterkircher. we approached the climax of our school days when we entered the Senior class. The class officers for this year were: President, Maurine Harwood- Vice President, Ormond Jedeleg Secretary, Eileen Moehng and, Treasurer, George Clo- wacke. Mr. Hazen Jewell and Mr. Bearss were our class sponsors. Early in the year we decided to take a trip to Washington, D.C. and set our goal at S1000 to finance this trip. Our dreams will come true next week when we depart from Sa- line for Toledo from where we will take a train for the nation's capital. The chaperons accompanying us on this trip will be Mr. Hazen Jewell and Mrs. Wash- burn. To earn money for the trip we put on two senior plays, after game dances, numerous banquets, bake sales, collected paper, shined shoes, sponsored a movie at the local theater, sold magazine subscriptions, stationery, and Christmas cards and sponsored a Senior Prom. We wish to express our deeply felt appreciation to the Juniors for the splen did J-Hop put on in our behalf. Now our twelve years of study and preparation is resulting in graduation. We feel that we have earned permanent recognition by our leadership and coopera- tion with other groups. We are proud of our stick-to-it-tive-ness which is shown by the fact that 58 of the 63 have finished the task that they had begun.

As young people we go forward filled with optimism and constant strive to do new and better things. Do we want to the footsteps of someone else? No, we want to be original, ly impossible. The prayer in my heart as I come here today Egyptian scribe two thousand years before Christa 'Would I enthusiasm in our merely follow in to do the apparent- was recorded by an had phrases that are not known, utterances that are strange, a new language that hath not been used, free from repetition, not an utterance which hath grown stale, which men of old have spoken.' - Tonight marks the lau ching of our respective careers. Now we will have to decide what place we will fill in life, or, in other words where we shall anchor. This decision will be of the utmost importance to all of us. However, even though this decision may seem important, it is not as important as the way in which we carry out the chosen career. The true worth of every person is judged not by the field in which he works, but by the quantity and quality of work he does in that field. The educational opportunities which we have been privileged to enjoy are superior to those which any other generation in history ever even dreamed of. Many persons have made it possible for us to receive a thorough school training, and we are deeply indebted to them. At this time we wish to thank our parents for the many sacrifices they have made so that we might have a good education. Also, we wish to thank our teachers who have constantly instructed and guided us. Other persons or groups of persons who have aided us in every way possible are the school board and the community at large. To all of these we realize that we owe much, and we shall ever strive to repay them in the form of good citizenship. Today we are beset on all sides by hostile factions both within and with- out our country. Whether our country continues to thrive as a free and inde- pendent state, depends on the youth of today. For it is a well-known fact that out of our youth of today will come our leaders of tomorrow. To make sure that we will have competent and able leaders who will be able to suppress these hostile factions, the youth of today and tomorrow must be educated at all possi- ble cost. Over a hundred years ago our forefathers proved that they realized the necessity of education when they wrote in the Northwest Ordinance, the follow- ing sentences 'Religion, morality, and education being necessary to good gov- ernment and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged.' Today an education is even more necessary than it was then. It is almost impossible to find decent employment without having at least a high school ed- ucation. If I were a king or, to be more modern, a dictator, I would issue an Edict that would compel all young people to attend high school. I would also make it possible for any person, who wished to do so, to attend college. Another argument in behalf of education is that it is the only effective means of combating propaganda. Now, while wars are being fought all around us, the masses can easily be swayed by the use of propaganda. In totalitarian states, where education is suppressed, propaganda is the backbone of the coun- try. The dictator can, either through the press or by violent speeches given by himself persuade the people to adhere to his every wish. Do we want this to happen in the United States? If not, then we will have to continue and even enlarge our present educational set-up. Tonight as we launch in the hope of soon finding our life's occupation and then anchoring there, we must not lose sight of the importance of religion in the lives of every American. It is claimed by many statisticians that the moral character of Americans is sadly lacking in our present day and age. Valedictory Speech Con't. When we hear and read such statements we should take warning lest we be conquer ed like France. For it is a knows fact that the downfall of France was caused by the low moral character of French officials in both the army and in the gov- ernment. How can we, who are graduating from high school with the thought of doing everything possible to improve ourselves and our community, raise the moral standards of ourselves and our fellow citizens? The answer is to attend church regularly and also encourage our fellow men to do likewise. For it has long been known that religion and high moral standards go hand in hand. We, as graduates, are tonight lau ching upon our life careers. Whether we are successful or not depends entirely upon us. Although, we are not at pre- sent sure of complete success, we are sure that if education and religion are encouraged by all our democratic government will have nothing to fear from with in or from without. And as long as free, democratic government thrives in the United States the success of each and everyone of us will be assured. ------by Warren Rentschler 55 gf ELEVENTH GRADE First Row: A. Gable, V.

Jewell, our sponsors, helped us get acquainted, and we soon elected class officers. Before we knew it, we were sophomores and welcoming the new group of ugreenies' to the school. Mr. Bickel and Mrs. Dinelly acted as advisors for us. At last we arrived as upper classmen--the juniors of the school. Class officers were: President, Dot Little, Vice President, Bob Worden, Secretary, Mariann Baker, Treasurer, Doris Jean Davis, while Mr. O'Bradovich and Mrs. Wash- burn guided us as our sponsors. Our play 'The Haunted High Schooln, directed by Mrs. Lee, was a 'feather in our collective capsn. Financially, it made us S126 richer. This paved the way for the outstanding social event of the year, namely, the J-Hop. A tasty meal, beautiful decorations, the grand march, and our best beaus and girls helped make May 23 a perfect evening. And now we turn our eyes toward next year when we are the high and mighty seniors. Regretfully we say good-bye to our predecessors and wish them success and happiness. We hope that we can do credit to their example as well as earn recognition on our own merits. 1 is-....l,,,.., ,,.,f....,........ .W V 1 -.

Club has held very few meetings this year, its pre- sence and cooperation has been felt throughout the entire school. The first party held last fall was a chili con carne supper. Afterwards an evening of fun and games was immensely enjoyed in the gym. Contributions of the Club this year have been ten dollars for the P. A. system, a small Philco radio and a dining room table for the Homemaking depart- ment. The Club earned its money by running the Food Booth at the F.F.A. fair, by altering band uniforms, an by serving a banquet to the district Agriculture teachers. Another service given to the school was the mending of the baseball un orms. One of the high-lights of the season was the very successful presentation of the second annual style show. The seniors distinguished themselves as in- terior decorators by completely metamorphosing the teacher's room into a charm- ing restful place where teachers may relax or work. Who says the age of mira- cles is over? Congratulations to this whole group of future homemakers who are realizing and tackling cheerfully and earnestly their many problems!

The Saline High School Hornets did themselves proud by the type of football that was played the season of 1940. Competition was u usually keen. The Hor- nets while having a heavy team, were compelled to play schools with much larger enrollment. Coach CPennyJ Pentecost, himself a football athlete of real ability formerly with Adrian College, used all the football strategy that was possible to drill into the boys at a given time. Penny bears a reputation for fair play, and his beaming personality permeated into the personality of the players. Saline Hornets decisively defeated such strong teams as Du dee, Belle- ville, Romulus, and the Ann Arbor Reserves, they tied with Milan and Chelsea, and lost only two games, Roosevelt and Flat Rock. Captain Bernard Bamer proved to be worthy of the title bestowed upon him. He always came through in the pinches, was always a good sport, and proved to be a steadying factor to the other boys when the going got the toughest. The scores of the season's games are as follows: Hornets 7 Dundee O Hornets 25 Romulus 7 W 19 Clinton 6 ' 6 Flat Rock 20 ' 6 Roosevelt 20 W 7 Chelsea 7 W 19 Belleville 13 ' 32 A.A.

The team used all the old strategy of past seasons, and Penny taught them plenty of new tricks of the game. This strong team fought their way through tough competition. Their meritorius record of achievement is evidenced by the fact the team has made the best record in many a year. Out of 16 games, they were victors in 12 games. The team outdistanced everything in the Huron League, except the University High team. The team defeated everything in the district tournament except the University High team.
