Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1953 volume:

1953 REFLECTOR THEME Fair Edition Sandwich High School, over thirty years in this present building with the gargoyle faces overlooking the entrance . . . many years before in the old Northside school on the second floor, even as far back as 1876 . . . In those early days many students came into school with horse and buggy . . . it was a privilege to get an education. And, it was a treat to attend the Chautauqua meetings, the medicine shows, and the FAIR. The FAIR, like the institution of higher education, was an integral part of Sandwich Community life. It began as an established occurrence about 1881, and since then old and young from all around have come to the FAIR . . . each fall. It is part of Sandwich home town” just as the yearbook, The REFLECTOR, is a part of each year's school life to students and townspeople.

Let's also understand the fact. MR. GRAF— Remember, it's not how much you take from your school, home, or church . . . it's how much you put into the organizations to make them better homes, schools, and churches.” MRS. LINDNER— What is the hardest task in the world? To think! Emerson MISS BAUNER— For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” Mark 8:36 MRS. ELDRIDGh— Look forward, not backward.” MR. ALEXANDER— You get out of something only what you put into it.” MISS HITEMAN— My advice to the seniors is . . . to study and practice the goodness of life, the beauty of art, arid the meaning of music.” MR. ERRION— Let's all follow the golden rule.” MR. MOLINARI— Watch your opportunity.” Aertius MR. DAVIS— It's not the whistling that makes the locomotive go, it's the silent steam.” MRS. STOUT— 'Be content but never satisfied with your lot .. . irriporve it.” MISS OLSON— Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of. Benjamin Franklin MR. EADE— Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap.” MR. FERDEN— Be strong! We are not to play, to dream, to drift: We have hard work to do and loads to lift; Shun not the struggle: face it . . . tis God’s gift. Be strong! Be strong!” MR. PARRY— The fox who cannot reach the grapes, says they are not ripe. The indifferent musician who cannot play his part says it is trite.

The Future Farmers of America is a national organization of farm boys who study vocational agriculture in high school and there are local, state and national organizations. The Sandwich Chapter received its charter in 1929 but long before that they were organized in i what was called The Agriculture Club. The purpose of the organization is to pro-| mote the interests of the boys by stressing cooperation, scholarship, recreation, community service, leadership and supervised farming. Money making projects are held during the year to finance the purchase of F.F.A clothing, jewelry or for trips or banquets. The F.F.A. sponsors such things as judging contests, pub-1 lie speaking and parliamentary procedure contests, shows, and fairs. Each boy has his own particular project or projects on his home farm where he has the opportunity to put into practice the things which he learns in school. The boys here like the projects of hogs, beef calves, dairy calves, sheep, and corn the best. In 1951-52 they made a profit of $5580 from their projects and more of the boys showed their hogs and calves at the fairs last year than usual. Showing at the Sectional F.F.A. Fair, The Sandwich Fair or the Junior Fair were: Steve Wutzke, Earl Baucum, Roger Denman, Richard Johnson, Jerry Halford, Jerry Olson, Gene Olson, Bill Kuppler and Wayne Knights. All won prizes but two were outstanding. Steve Wutzke, Earl Baucum, Roger Denman and Richard Johnson entered their best gilts in a SCHOOL EXHIBIT which had to be 5 gilts shown by 3 or more boys from one school, they took first place for Sandwich in this class and won the banner which was offered.

The purpose of their organization is to make better homemakers and citizens. Learn parliamentary procedure, leadership, and how to get along with others. The Woman's Building reminds all F.H.A. girls of the Homemakers’ place in the Community. There are informative talks by women who are accomplished in their fields. This helps to improve members' homes, personal appearances, and give them opportun.ties for more hobbies. During the year parties, money making projects, and helping hand projects are planned. A mother and daughter banquet brings the F.H.A. year to a close in the spring. J. Abens B. Ammons A. Anderson L. Anderson P. Barrows M Bowker N. Brimicombe P. Casey P. Carlson N.

Once a member of G.A.A. she may wt rk to earn her school letter by physical soundness, sports, posture, and fair play, all of which build cleaner and healthier minds and bodies. In working for letters, she will become better acquainted and learn the meaning of sportsmanship . . . she doesn’t have to be a star, all she has to do is co-operate. £?hnson uf n C°Pp er uPp er I, John Alumnus, hereby promise to abide by the Latin Club Constitution; to keep my class work equal to the best of my ability; to participate fully in the activities of the club. This I pledge keeping in mind my responsibility, and the honor bestowed upon me as a Latin Club Member. COMING UP! SANDSCRIPT The purpose of the Sand-script is to act as a public relations instrument between the school and the public. The students on the Sand-script Staff present their school news through the local newspaper. Through their publication activities they become a moving, vital force in their surroundings. They learn to observe critically, to inquire and to narrate. For perhaps the first time in their school career, the students write because they have something significant to say. It’s much different from preparing just another composition for teacher. STAFF—Editor, Sharon Lett; Asst.

Debate Coach, T. R. Davis; Varsity Debaters: Affirmative, Quendred Wutzke and Jo Harriet Nesmith. Negative, Ray Jackson and Halsten Shurson. Debate question this year is, resolved the Atlantic Pact Nations should form a federation. This is a very heavy question demanding almost constant reading. The study concerns itself with military preparations, economic problems, and foreign affairs. A good debater must be familiar with current history and the problems of foreign trade and exchange, particularly as they influence the economic life of the nations of the world. In addition to participation in the usual invitational tournaments the varsity met the other fifteen schools in the Metropolitan Debate Union, on both -sides of the question. Against these larger schools Sandwich has continued to maintain a very creditable record. The frosh-soph. groups entered several invitational tournaments and received much valuable training for the coming years.

BONJOUR MES AMIS, This year the French class revived the French Club. There are five girls in the club and Mrs. Lindner is the adviser. With dues collected at each meeting, the girls financed a trip to Chicago in the spring. They ate dinner in a French res-tuarant and then attended a show afterwards. The girls hold a lucheon meeting every two weeks and spend the time singing French songs, playing French games, and corresponding with French girls. Bien sincerement.

The report was that he had saved the life of a beautiful and titled Frenchwoman. His mother, Pat Jensen, gave the story to the papers with her own additions and his sister, Carol Larson, Grace, began to worry because she knew he couldn't swim. Mile.

Second row: Tom Malone, Mel Williams, Don Vermeland, Tom Bowker, Dick Serby, Sid Allen, Deck Wesson. These are the boys that will not be playing football anymore. They all tried their best, but it just wasn't good enough. It was a bad year all around. Tom Bowker was laid up with a broken ankle, plus his operation. Deck Wesson was out of play for a little while, but he was back in action as quick as possible. The Senior players also felt the loss of Fritz Rud when his hip was injured. It was hard luck for this year, but the boys were out there trying just as they were in the championship years. Front row: Coach Molinari, D. Anderson, D. Beecher, J. Beardsely, E. Morel, Z. Eisner.
