Our America is a great and successful nation, successful in business, successful in industrial and cultural growth, successful in obtaining high living standards. Can our educational develop- ment keep pace with these swiftly moving de- velopments so that the creative power and the ingenuity which fostered our greatness may be perpetuated? The continuation of our greatness depends on the way our citizens and our citizens-to-be are educated. As we continue to create and progress our society becomes more complex. The education of our young people becomes more difficult and more demanding. It required more time, more equipment, more and better trained personnel to meet the needs. A hundred years ago when the successful mastery of the three R's was all that was needed to meet the competition in life, education was a simple matter and could be obtained in a few years. Today many years of school attendance is necessary and more and more young citizens are meeting the challenge by attending school Greatness in our America was not obtained by maintaining a status quo. A changing dynamic society demands change. Our schools in the past have been the leaders in our changing society. The American people have wisely and generously invested parts of their earnings in education far beyond the contribution of other nations, and well have they been repaid. It has always been the belief of the great majority of our people that the destinies of our country can most successfully be fulfilled through education of all the people. A great part of our responsibilities as American citizens of a great nation lies in the support of our schools. Leo L. Jensen COMPLIMENTS OF SALINE HATCHERY COMPLIMENTS OF FOSTER 0.

Cruiser as seventh graders. Full of pep and vigor the deck scrubbers were 34 strong with Miss McLaren as Chief Officer. The crew consisted of: N. Faust, B. Begole, M. Guenther, R. Menzel, H. Graf, L. Finch, C. Hinderer, J. McCoy, L. Weidmayer, J. Cook, G. Swovland, N. Jantz, D. Bredernitz, M. Murray, J. White, J. Hocking, M. Doubleday, M. Tower, K. Beasley, M. Brandt, V. Corl, J. Patrick, R. Miller, K. Braun, B. Tower, B. Leutheuser, P. Rogers, B. Sevey, N. Woods, S. Sanderson, R. Finkbeiner, E. Moehn, D. Elfring, and K. Howell. Our first experience in working as a crew was organizing our booth at the fair selling pop and candy bars, and baiting the hooks in the fish pond. We also had many class parties which kept Miss McLaren on the go to keep track of us. As our chief officer instructed us to move our little crew to the next cabin, we were excited about having many newcomers. F. Hilge, H. Hanson, D. Marion, B. Kreager, J. Bennett, C. Feeman, E. Meske, C. Englehart, and M. Luckhardt took anchor in our cabin. But we were unhappy to find we had lost R. Menzel, M. Doubleday, J. Patrick, and K. Howell. Already thinking of our Senior trip, we began working hard to make money. It was fun making candy to sell at noon to the other students and it also built up our treasury. To add a little fun to our toil, we had a roller skating party. Miss McLaren worked just as hard as we did and was al- ways ready for fun. We all loved her and wondered how she put up with us. In the fall of '49 we proudly marched to school as the mighty Freshmen. We found our total enrollment had reached 62. Those who joined us were: E. Rogers, J. Hoeft, L. Hafemeister, M. Clouse, I. Trinkle, D. Klumpp, L. Drake, M. Butler, J. Gleason, J. Braun, W. Rhoades, A. Gilbert, J. Klumpp, G. Burns, E. Cammet, D. Hoeft, K. Burmeister, J. James, J. Graf, R. Shaun, C. Apple- gate, R. Menzel, D. Elfring, and B. Strickland. The crew was made fewer in number by G. Swovland, K. Beasley, B. Kreager, R. Shaun, and C. Applegate leaving. We started out the year's activities by having a big Halloween party in the barn of one of our classmates, John McCoy. With a hayloft above, holding many surprises, we kept Miss McLaren on the go climbing up and down after us. This year marked the beginning of our annual talent show, in which the talent was chosen only from our class. This was our big project to help earn money for the Senior trip. Still energetic and full of pep, we entered Senior High. This.year D. Hoeft, M. Butler, S. Shultz, C. Feeman, P. Hopp, R. Shaun, C. Applegate, J. Bennett, and V. Corl left us. Farewell parties were given for J. Bennett, B. Strickland, S. Shultz, and V. Corl. We were lucky to have a booth at the fair donated to us, so we could have a fish pond and sell home-made candy. Our partnership with the Seniors in helping put on the Christmas dance entitled The Holly Hop did not prove to be very successful. Again we sold home-made fudge to the students as a money making project. We also presented another talent show, but this time dis- played talent from grades 7-12, and awarded prizes for the most talented. We were happy to find this highly successful. With class parties scattered through our activities, who could ask for a more eventful year. The beginning of our Junior year found us with a class of- 49 students. The activities, that we as Juniors, were credited with were first, the football concessions in the fall. We also served the Milk Producers Banquet and Rotary Dinner which both proved to be successful. Oh, yes, then came the Junior Play Men Are Like Streetcars. This project helped us to get better acquainted with our classmates, while at the same time, it also put money in our treasury. Before the year had passed we managed to squeeze in a Talent Show. When the year was nearly at an end, we found that there were 46 left in our class. Patricia Rogers, Beverly Sevey, and Marlou Luckhardt had left us. In returning for our last year, we were unhappy to find that we were minus a sponser. Miss McLaren, who had worked with us and also enjoyed our fun since the seventh grade, did not return to enjoy the final goal we had worked for. Sitting in her place was Mrs. Haswell, who willingly gives her time and effort, to help us prepare for the final goal. In our Senior year we were joined by three newcomers: Jim Jacobs, John Robson, and Paul Harbecke, We were very proud to have as one of our classmates, Paul Harbecke, a German ex- change student, whom we all love and admire. We have enjoyed listening to his many intriguing experiences and interesting details about his native country. This was a busy year in reaching the final goal, which was making that last dollar for the Senior trip. Our class enjoyed a field trip down to the First National Bank in Detroit, accompanied by Mr. Ford and Mr. Kaarsberg. We will always remember Mr. Ford's warning: Remember, Seniors, not over 50! As we take our last stride down the halls of Saline High, we look back on our Freshmen, Sophomore, and Junior years with pleasure, and wish all the fun we have had to the Seniors of the futureg ln hopes that they find it as thrilling as we did. 18 5. l Clay 'ZUJI We the Class of '53, being of sound body and mind f?J, do hereby bequeath our many talents and shortcomings to the remaining students of Saline High School.

HORNET CAPTAIN'S LOG Date: June 4, 1963 Latitude: 410 N Genoa, Italy Longitude: 140 E Weather: Fair and clear Seas: Calm Winds: South-southeast Today we docked in Genoa, Italy, where we took on board the eminent MRS. MILDRED HASWELL and her husband, Max. Mrs. Haswell is now re- tired from her teaching duties at Saline High and is residing in sunny Italy, where she is successfully reviving the latin language. Mr. and Mrs. Haswell were the guests of honor at the Captain's Ball. They are to remain on board in a special suite decorated by the most sought-after interior decorator in the world, LOIS FINCH, who was also in charge of the decorations for the ball. Helping her was her able assistant and art advisor, EUNICE MESKE. The entirety of this Mediterranean cruise was sponsored and financed for the members of the Class of '53 by EDWARD CAMMET, sole owner and stockholder in the multi-million dollar Cammet Enterprises of Saline, which started out specializing in making holes for doughnuts. Edward sent his fleet of company helicopters to pick up the members of the class and transport them to the ship. The ball featured many members of the Class of '53 who are now promi- nent in the entertainment field. The music was furnished by HAFEMEISTER'S Sweet Serenaders. Featured in this band were BARB BEGOLE, swing pianist, and ELTON MOEHN, trombonist. Elton, after graduating, went to the Chinese Conservatory of Music CSing Singh, where he graduated with high honors. The vocalist was NANCY WOODS, successor to Pearl Baily. Larry's fan club mem bership has risen to the astounding figure of 4,000,000--the girls all say he's dreamy. The feature act of the floor show was DOROTHY MARION and JOHN ROBSON, a Hollywood dance team, who are currently cast in Mr. and Mrs. Taptoes. The producer of the show, LAYVERNE DRAKE, was also present on board. Layverne's current flame in Hollywood is Marilyn Monroe. He has the reputation of a second Valentino. Following these famous dancers RON FINKBEINER, comedian extraordinary, who has a greater following than any other comedian in the world, took the stage. He just looks at you and you have to laugh, especially whenfhe sings his famous theme song, I'm Bashful. The delicious banquet for the huge ball was prepared under the direction of Chef BOB TOWER. The meal was served under the watchful eyes of the head waitress of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, BETTY ALBER. After the dancing started, I looked around the ballroom to see who I could find from the Class of '53. Over in one corner in a heated discussion were JOHN BRAUN, mad scientist from the University of Bridgewater, now engaged in research on the Frankenstein monster, who just recently invented chlorophyll for skunks, and LARRY WIEDMAYER, successor to Einstein. Larry is the discoverer of the very important formula B + E2 + F : C + OW, and also chairman of the Hydrotelactomicradic Research Department of the University of Michigan. Seated very close, almost too close for comfort, to Larry and John were KENNETH BURMEISTER, GEORGE BURNS, and JOHN MARION. These three joined together just after graduation and bought up all the farms surrounding Saline in a seven mile radius and incorporated them into one. Seated with these cow tycoons was KELVEN BRAUN, the head of the Department of Agri- culture, and JIM GLEASON, Macon cattle baron, who has cornered the world's market of purple cows. 20 Wandering around, I spied a large crowd and the great attraction I found to be the punch bowl. On one side of it stood JIM COOK, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, who has just declared the law of Supremum Feminae unconstitutional, DAVID BREDERNITZ, famous statesman, who recently talked the Russian Delegation out of three Russian satalites and the paper Pravda, and internationally famous PAUL HARBECKE, who has covered practically every country in the world on his bicycle tours. In a group right next to them stood JACKIE HOEFT and CARLENE HINDERER, now very prominent in the high social groups of Saline. They were talking to JEAN and DARLENE KLUMPP of Klumpp and Klumpp Hatcheries who invented a hen that lays six eggs per day, only gold on one side. That was enough for me, so I left then and there. My, but that punch was strong! The dance floor was very crowded and dancing were many notables from the Class of '53. There were JOHN McCOY, president of General Motors, specializing in the manufacture of Super Hot Rods, and MARJORIE TOWER, his head test driver. It was plain to see Marjorie couldn't leave her work the way she was wheeling John around. Dancing also, were RICHARD MILLER and his wife. Richard is acting as ship doctor on this cruise and last year discovered the complete cure for Quitcherbelliachen. Gliding around the floor was JIM JACOBS, jet ace and first man to shoot down a flying saucer, and his partner, FAY HILGE, who got married right after she graduated and is the Mother of the Year for 1963. SHIRLEY SANDERSON was seen danc- ing with her husband. They moved to the twin cities and lo and behold, they had twins. I hope they never move to the Thousand Islands! It seemed to me that all the class wasn't inside, but out on the deck I found the others. JOE GRAF was running around the deck getting in condition for the record for the 1 yard dash with a time of .0001 second. Over by the rail discussing management problems were BOB LEUTHEUSER, owner of the former Hilton chain of hotels, CALVIN ENGLEHART, general manager of all the Kroger stores in the United States, who commutes between his mansion overlooking the Saline River and his headquarters in Cincinnati, and MARIAN GUENTHER, vice president of the Kresge Company. Reclining on some deck chairs, taking in the soft evening breezes, were ELAINE ROGERS, famed beautician, who has invented a tonic for baby girls that guarantees them lifetime natural curls, ALICE GILBERT, who had just been chosen Mrs. America of 1963, MARILYN MURRAY, missionary to the Gigchagoomie tribe of Southern Africa, WILMA RI-IOADES, who now owns and operates the Macon Express Limited, running twice daily between Saline and Macon, and HELEN GRAF, public relations director for Larry Hafemeister's renowned band. A little eavesdropping found the topic of discussion to be the good CPD old days in dear old S. H. S. .Standing by the rail, looking somewhat pale, was RHEA MENZEL, first woman Governor of the State of Michigan. She was talking over plans for installing a system of super eight-laned highways throughout the state with her Road Commissioner, HAROLD HANSON. Our chief mechanic NELSON JANTZ, reports everything is in good order for embarkation tomorrow morning. We shall weigh anchor at 0800. Signed DOUGLAS ELFRING Captain, S. S.

Again the time has come to pass When one more group gets its degree And turns its prow to life's rough sea. As from the harbor we set sail, We hope fair winds will e'er prevail. We know not now what course we'll take. Our only hope ........ success we'll make. For some the way will e'er be wild, While others find it always mild. But as we roll our ship along, Saline High's mem'ries will still be strong. The fun we've had ...... the things we've learned Were worth the midnight oil we burned. But all these things are ln our past. The day has come ...... we leave at last! Now as we turn to say Good-bye With hearts so brave and heads held high, We face each little joy and sorrow With but one thought ....... Now comes Tomorrowl By Lois Finch Dorothy Marion Alice Gilbert Clan Song Tune - Halls of Ivy Words - Nancy Woods, John Robson Oh, we love this school, our dear school, Which we must leave tonight, And we will have fond memories, Tho we'll travel far from sight. As we leave the halls of Saline High, All our voices bid farewell, To our teachers and our classmates, Whom we all love so well. Tonight our hearts are sad, As we linger here awhile, For soon we'll all depart With trying smiles. With everyone on his way, Facing the fugure brave and true, We leave dear Saline Highj' And bid adieul 0, we love this school, our dear school, Which we must leave tonight, And we will have fond memories, Tho we be far from sight. 24 Hugo . .

From this group will return 23 lettermen for next year's campaign. This indicates the rebuilding program which took place this year with 13 freshmen and sophomores handling offensive and defen- sive duties this year. The inexperienced and green Hornets won 3 and lost 5. The team was impressive and showed amazing superiority in overall statistics for the year. Saline made 108 first downs to the opponents 84, and Saline made 1708 total yardage to the opponents 1261 yards. The next few years look very promising for Saline football and big things are expected from the young Hornets by Coach Padjen. This year's team finished in 4th place with Dundee--next year's League favorite. The standout performers in the backfield were Joe Graf, Richard Miller, Ron Finkbeiner, Vern Drake, Charlie Steiner, and Afred Gross. In the line the standouts were Dick Weidmayer, Dick Gonser, Larry Weidmayer, Jim Gleason, Jim Cook, Tom Simpson, Mouse Miller, and Silas Woods. Other boys that performed admirably were Melvin Roehm, Ken Rogers, Jim Jacobs, Paul Harbecke, Ken Burmeister, Arnold Girbach, Mike Anderson, Rich Hoeft, Jack Losee, Wayne Luckhardt, Earl Culliton, Jim Goebel, Ron Desbrough, Jim Rhoades, Allen Rentschler, Roland Guenther, Kit Young, and Jim England. For their outstanding play for the season, Joe Graf, Richard Miller, and Dick Weidmayer were considered for all-state honors.

The basketball team made a splendid showing despite the preseason forecast of being rated 5th in the league by the experts. This years team proved to be a high scoring team, as well as one of the top teams in the league and in this area. The Hornet team was a contender all the way for the title by playing the toughest schedule of any league member, and in so doing beat the better teams in the league. Only a couple cold nights kept the Hornets from a repeat performance for the title. Saline narrowly missed taking the Saline invitational Basketball Tourney by losing to the championship team by one point in the last second of play. In this tourney the Hornets made a fine showing and won 3rd place honors. This team consisted of 5 seniors, 4 juniors, and 2 sophomores which means that good ex- perienced men will return for next years campaign, along with a promising group from the fresh- men-sophomore team. The play of Seniors Ron Finkbeiner, Richard Miller, James Cook, Doug Elfring, and Ken Burmeister was outstanding. The play of Juniors Earl Feldkamp, Walfred Larson, Dick Wiedmayer and Jerry Miller merits much praise as did the play of Charlie Steiner, and Jim Goebel. The Hornets are expected to make a strong showing in the State District Tournaments and bring to the end another successful year of basketball to Saline High School under Coach Padjen.

Mr. Hill did a fine job in coaching this year's Little Hornets. CONGRATULATIONS Congratulations as you leave your High School To THE CLASS OF ,,53,, days behind.

Coach Padjen's trackless wonders brought prestige and honor to Saline by the impressive ac- complishments it made throughout the state. The mighty Hornet cindermen were entered in all the larger meets in the state and made a notable showing by winning numerous individual titles, many trophies, and team trophies, as well as establishing a few new records. The most notable accomplishment was the winning of 3rd place honors in the River Rouge Relays, the largest indoor meet in the United States. In this meet Saline narrlowly missed first place honors after leading going into the last event. The outstanding performers were Jerry Gonser, the State Mile Champion, Howard' Braun, one of the State's finer 880 men, Egon Gross, German exchange student and fine 440 man, Joe Graf, one of the state's finer sprinters, and 60 Yard Dash Champion, Don Feldkamp, fine 880 man and sprinter, and Wayne Luckhardt, sprinter. The winning relay teams of Braun, Graf, Luckhardt, Gross and Braun, Gonser, Gross, and Feldkamp will be long remembered in Saline. To supplement the loss of Seniors Gonser, Braun, Gross, and Feldkamp, Saline has fine new prospects in Dave Giltrow, Don Thompson, Arnold Girbach, Dick Gonser, Kelven Braun, Tom Simpson, Ron Finch, Lewis O'Mara, and Melvin Roehm.

Saline fielded a green and inexperienced nine and managed to win but one of the 12 games. This young team was a definite improvement over last year's nine and the prospects look better for this year.
