School is not considered a quiet place and by no means a solemn place. In this photograph, our photographer has captured Southwestern “at peace with the world.” No stu- dents are slamming her doors or abusing her insides. Twelve o’clock and all is well. 4 at S.W.HS. 5 September, 1959! A new month, a new year, and a brand new school with Hilmer Olson heading the administration. Mr. Olson was head of the committee that planned the facilities for the school. He also worked with the architect on design of the building and location of facilities. Mr. Olson has long been active in the Flint Public high schools. He began teaching at Flint Northern as an instructor of indus- trial arts. He was also in charge of the boys trade school at Northern High. In 1942, Mr. Olson left Northern to as- sume the position of principal at Flint Tech- nical High. He held this position until 1959 when Tech was absorbed. The students and administration of Tech authorized Mr. Ol- son to utilize their funds as he saw fit. He contributed all of this money to Southwest- ern High School. We, the staff of the Spectrum, in order to show our thanks for all he has done, dedi- cate our yearbook to the principal of our school, Hilmer Olson. 7 8 The faculty of Southwestern has contributed to the readi- ness of Southwestern students to assume their places in a job, a college, or a home. They have been helpful in handling and guiding students in their pro- grams of study. The understanding and pa- tience of these men and wom- en have given us a background of remarkable quality. We ap- preciate very much the ones who have helped us in our years at Southwestern. Administration Faculty Wheels Start to Roll at SWHS GARRET EBMEYER Deputy Principal When the bell rings at eight o’clock for the start of first hour, the student know it is time to go to work. There are some, though, who have started their work already. They are the people who make up the administrative staff. Principal Hilmer Olson and Deputy Principal Garret Ebmeyer share responsibility for the organization of the school and its activities. Dean of Students James Whittaker spends much time helping students with individual problems. He also works on the organization of school activities and athletics. Dean of Instruction Flora Fierstine helps students with the more personal problems. She also helps to plan the cal- endar for the activities of the different classes, clubs, and sports. Dean of Counseling Hulda Gibson helps the students with the planning of their studies for the school year. Miss Gibson also provides seniors with information about schol- arships and colleges, and she handles the intensive program. The House Counselors are also available to help students with the numerous problems of schedules and credits. Stu- dents in each of the three houses have two counselors to help them.

RICHARD HOAG B.A., U. of Michigan Chemistry, Physics Chemistry and Physics classes provide students with the tools to satisfy their curios- ity. Students of high school age are notorious for asking ques- tions like “how?” and “why?” Chemistry classes provide stu- dents with the answer to the first question, “how?” Organized experiments are performed by the students themselves, and they enjoy it thoroughly. Phys- ics provides the answer to the question “why?” Biology gives the students the inside story of how plants and animals live and work. This course helps them under- stand more about the living things of the world. ORLAN LEHMANN B.S., Taylor University Chemistry 19 Students from radio-TV class practice radio show for Mrs. Topolka.

The A Cappella Choir climaxed the year with its presentation of “The King and I.” The Drama Department also does its share with the produc- tions. Senior drama class pre- sented “The Egg and I” as their senior play. The drama classes gave others a chance to show their talent with the Talent Show in April.

These experiences, shared by students of the first graduating class to spend three years at Southwestern, helped prepare the class of '62 to face a new world. They now disperse to further their education or to begin earning wages. Though their pathways will diverge, their memories and loyalties will always remain with South- western. How many will we recognize in 1984? 31 Graduates Class Direction . . . Discussing, Deciding, Developing Southwestern’s first woman President, Sue Morris has held a class office for three years.

Carol Grooms and Lyn Schultz are ready to begin their piano duet. They have played the piano for a total of seventeen years. Another duet features Carol Knight and Ann Cascaddan on the flute. The third group is a cello trio with Jean Hackett, Evelyn Lampshire, and Linda Sells. Carolyn King, Sharon Williams, and Roxanne Surik model handmade fall outfits. Montage Introduces SW Talent A Montage, a combination of elements from several aspects of the arts arranged both to re- tain their individuality and to blend into a whole, is not a new work to Southwestern. Mr. Koskinen bought it to us last spring and hopes to bring it to us every spring. We have a great deal of secret talent in our ranks which a yearly Montage helps to discover. It brings art ap- preciation to Southwestern by bringing together in one pro- gram all the arts illustrated on these pages. Here, Sue Morris does a scene from the play Our Town. She portrays Emily, the young girl who has died at childbirth and who wishes to re- turn to life. After a polka, Cherry Coscia strikes an amateur pose which she hopes will one day be professional. Talented artist Truman Bryant paints many such pictures as the one he is working on, under the direction of art teacher Mr. Koskinen. 59 Sander’s Candy . . .

They frustrate their parents and teachers, but they will be the parents and teachers of the years to come; so let them have their fun. 73 Class of ’63 Nancy Taylor, who came here from Zimmerman, is Vice-Presi- dent, Treasurer of her class. She hopes to become a tea- cher, so she is on a college prep course with Junior College and U. of M. as possible col- lege choices. She feels her duty is to help the class and president plan good activities. Doug Fraser, a McKinley gradu- ate, is Presi- dent of the Junior class. He is on a col- lege preparatory course, hopes to go either to Wheaton College or U. of M., and plans to become a doctor. His projects included adding to the funds of the Junior class. Peggy Skaff, also from Zim- merman, is Secretary of the Junior class. As previous training, she served as House Representative last year. She is on a college prep course and plans to go to U. of M. in preparation for teaching mathe- matics. Always jabbering, Joking, jesting. Working, eating, Never resting.

Obviously every- one in the Junior class did because the sale was very successful. The students in first lunch hour (shown at left) crowded around the table, giving the im- pression that the fudge was almost gone and there might never be another sale. But, in spite of the crowd, there was plenty of fudge left for third lunch hour (shown above). Much preparation and good advertising accounted for the great profit made. Class of ’64 Cathey Dye, a past student of Zimmerman, is Vice-President, Treasurer of her class. Cathey is on a college prep course and hopes to attend Alma College, majoring in education. She feels it is her duty to help the class President and take over his duties when- ever necessary. Ron Mallory, a graduate of McKinley is President of the Sophomore class. He is on a col- lege preparatory course and plans to go to Junior College and then to a school of engineering. He has directed many projects in order to get his class off to a good start money- wise. Marsha Greshow, another past McKinley stu- dent, is Sec- retary of the Sophomore class. As previous training she has served for two years as secre- tary of her class. She is also on a col- lege prep course and plans to attend U. of M. with the goal of becoming a doctor. Enjoying silly, Simple smirking. Always helpful, Never shirking.

The play was about a city family with two teen-age daughters being abrupt- ly transferred into a “primitive” country scene. The picture shown is the cur- tain call, given in the old-fash- ioned kitchen set. Student actors, student audience, par- ents, and faculty enjoyed the production very much. First Homecoming % 3 --- Many of our students work late to put the finishing touches on our first Homecoming. The memories of the Homecoming will linger in the minds of the graduates forever. Diane Lokkins and past graduate Bob Berryman dance at our first Homecoming. 106 Big Success Judy and her escort Chuck Bauserman led off the first dance (shown at left). The song was “Misty,” played by Jim Rising’s band. Southwestern’s first homecoming was a big success. We were host to Arthur Hill, but in our great attempt the Lumberjacks outscored us by a few points. Past graduates were in- vited to our dance after the game. The highlight of the Homecoming was the crowning of our queen, Judy Bell. Bente Miller and Sue Retten- mund were the Senior princesses on Judy’s court; Junior princesses were Norma Carpenter and Marcy Stine; Sophomore princesses were Cathey Dye and Kathy Meadows.

PEP CLUB: The members of Southwestern Pep Club added spirit and color to our games. One of the many projects of the Club is making signs to encourage school spirit. Working late on a sign for the Southwestern vs. Northern game are Denise Southard (Pres.) Sheila McIntosh, John Culver, Michelle Whittaker, Linda Vincent, Ruth Skellenger, George Killeen, Sharon Manker, and Annette Nash. 108 Cheerleaders—Backbone Of School Spirit Sue Rettenmund (Sr.) Varsity Cherry Coscia (Sr.), Captain, 1 year J.V., 2 years Varsity years Judy Bell (Sr.), 1 year Varsity Gail Schluckbier (Sr.), 1 year J.V. 1 year Varsity Kathy Meadows (Soph.) 1 year Var- sity Marcy Stine (Jr.), 1 year Varsity Don Butkovich (Sr.), 2 years Varsity Southwestern’s cheerleaders are the best in the city and spend long hours in practice. Often having to take trips to away games presents problems, but our Colt cheerleaders “grin and bear it,” and travel with the teams throughout the state. Without our girls and boy, our games would seem rather cheerless and dull, because who else but our own cheerleaders could carry spirit as well. JUNIOR VARSITY: Nancy Hendershott, Sandy Newcombe, Linda Gilmour, Regina von jqi Schmeling Career Carnival Gives Vocation Ideas The Career Carnival has been held three years now, and has proved very successful. Displays were set up, and students from all over the area came to see them. Practically all vocations were represented by a booth with a person in that booth to help interested students. This year the Career Carnival was held in our Southwestern gym, and was a great aid to the undecided. For our own students, the whole school day was changed. Previously, the students had stated the vocations in which they were interested, and on Career Day they followed a schedule to in- form them on those vocations. Each classroom had a trained person who spoke to the students, showed movies, and had a question-and-answer period. Career Day was a rewarding experience for all — the speakers had a chance to further their own vocation, and the listeners had a chance to establish their aims for the future. 110 Bridge Club: Larry Smith, Dave Davis, Dave Philips, Walter Hamilton, Mike Parr, Lynnea Johnson, Sue Graham, Charles Oleszeki, Martin Panchula, Mrs. Calkins.

They also went away to Midland to give the Chernies a taste of what a good marching band could do and marched in downtown Flint during the Vet- erans’ Day Parade. All in all, we appreciate very much the con- tributions of our hard-working marching band. DRUM MAJOR: Jay Berthiaume 115 A CAPPELLA CHOIR: (first row) Judy Doods, Norma Bar- bee. Ann Bradley.

Southwestern’s Christmas Dance was a big hit this year. Past graduates were among the many couples who danced to the music of Gerald Wolburton’s band. Santa Claus (in the person of Mr. Boze) made a grand appearance, giving gaily decorated presents to a few well-known couples at the dance. Santa was assisted in his delightful task by Bill Tracy, who headed the decoration committee. The school dance area was beautifully decorated, with a winter scene mural, Christmas tree, the dance band, and Santa Claus’s sleigh. Our appreciation goes to all who helped make this event possible.

Whether winning or losing, the student body of Southwest- ern High School supports the athletic teams throughout the entire year. Sparked by this en- thusiasm and support of the entire school, the teams are eager to display their skills. Through the leadership of a fine coaching staff, Southwest- ern, in its first year of valley competition, has displayed the desire to reach new heights as a class A school. Although our teams were not always winning, the students, faculty, teams, coaches, managers, and parents helped to make the 61-62 ath- letic season a success.

With fifteen Sophomores on the 1961 team, five of the Varsity runners had no previous running experience. Twelve Varsity letters were awarded this year to Seniors Joel Florida, Chuck Decker, Phil Stinson, Bruce Teel, San- ders Morgan, and Sam Morgan; Juniors Roger Rice, Bruce Anderson, and John McGuire; Sophomores Jim Stewart, George Carlisle, and Tom Florida. Tom won the Individual Meet held at Kalamazoo and was the first boy in the state to do so. He was also elected the most valuable runner on the 1961 team. Through the combined efforts of Coach George LeBrasseur and his harriers, the Cross-Country team had a very impres- sive record for the 1961 season. With two first places and two second places in individual meets, we placed third in the Valley running against eight other teams, and fifth in the Regionals against seventeen other teams. Not qualifying for the State Team Meet, we had two boys qualify for the Indi- vidual State Meet. The Junior Varsity had a very good season with a 6-2 record. As most of these boys were Sophomores, we will be watching them again next season. Coach George LeBrasseur instructs his runners before a cross-country meet. 135 Cagers Plagued By Luck . . . Jim Yuille - Guard Ivan Ivanoff - Guard Dan Felt - Guard In their first year of Saginaw Valley competition, Southwestern’s Cagers experienced trouble on their home court enroute to a 6-11 final record. An opening game (65-61) loss to highly rated Jackson broke a 15 game home winning streak, and started a string of 5 defeats in our gym. Included in the home court loss skein were two hard-fought City-Series defeats to Central (60-51) and Northern (58-52). Luck continued to run low against the State’s top-ranked teams. The upset- minded Colts were beaten by a fourth quarter Sagi- naw surge (72-62). Pontiac Central also came back to defeat our scrappy Colts (56-54), on the Chiefs court. Fine individual performances by Jim Yuille and Carl Cmejrek highlighted the City Series games. Yuille, our 5’9” scoring leader, scored a City Series record of 30 points in our February 9 win over Flint Central. His record didn’t last long as Carl Cmejrek pumped in 33 points in our (80-61) loss to Flint Northern on February 20. Our Colt Cagers won their district tournament opener again Ainsworth (70-61), but couldn’t get past Beecher and ended the season with a (72-66) loss.

Golfers Expect Good Season Southwestern’s golf team of 1961 had another successful season, 15 wins and 2 losses. In the state regional tournament we finished in second pjace with sopho- more Paul Topolka tying for medalist honors. Other letter winners were Steve Braun, John Wetherbee, Jay Berthia- ume and Chuck Sipley. Southwestern tied for the Valley Championship with Central High School and also won the Owosso Invitational Golf Tournament for the second straight year. Our junior varsity golf team, under the able guidance of Mr. Potter, made up of Sophomores and juniors went un- defeated in 1961 for the second straight year. The only graduating senior from last year’s team was Chuck Sipley. With help from last year’s junior varsity team and tlje sophomores this year, South- western’s gplf team is looking forward to another, and even better, season than last year. Returning lettermen for the 1962 Golf team are John Wetherbee, Paul Topolka, Steve Braun, and Jay Berthiaume. These boys, along with re- turning J.V. lettermen, will make up the nucleus of the 1962 team. 144 Tennis team members for 1962 are (bot- tom) Charles Taylor, Larry Smith, Don McLeod, James Waike, Dennis Schempf (top) Chip Saltman, Rick Crooms, Don Gilmour, John Sklarow, Jerry Ball, Vaughn DeCrausaz, Mike Cheney, and Randy Reynolds. Returning Lettermen + Large Turnout = Better Record Coached by A1 Gricius, the tennis team proved to have a very good season as it finished with a 6-5 record. Finishing 5th in the Saginaw Valley and winning the Class A City title in two playoff matches were some of the highlights of the season. Out top winners for the 1961 season was sen- ior Ted Golden, who had a 7-3 over-all record. Following was senior Dennis Riker with a 7-4. Both were singles men. Top winners in doubles were Jerry Ball and Chip Saltman. Varsity letter winners were Dick Irwin, Den- nis Riker, Rick Crooms, Ted Golden, Chip Salt- man, John Goldner, Jerry Ball, Vaughn De- Crausza, and John Mitchell. Junior Varsity let- ter winners were—George Washburn, Randy Reynolds, and Mike Cheney. Returning lettermen for this years squad are Jerry Ball, Rick Crooms, Chip Saltman, and Vaughn DeCrausza. Other boys who will be an added asset to the squad are—Randy Rey- nolds, Mike Cheney, John Sklarow, and Dick Stone. Coach A1 Gricius expects Sophomores Tom Keim and Jim Waike to show some prom- ise. 1961 lettermen who are returning to starting berths for the 1962 season are Chip Saltman, Rick Crooms, Jerry Ball, and Vaughn De- Crausaz. 145 Track Season Proves To Be jf W — 3 A1 Talbot cleared IT while he was a junior to set a school record. As a senior, A1 will be a key figure in the 1962 field events for Southwestern. Leading the “pack” around a close turn in the mile is our Joe Florida in our dual meet with Northern. Our second season of track was very successful. We lost only three dual meets by very close scores. We were second in the valley, losing to Northern by 1.7 points. To rotind out the season, our Colts captured a second in the regional and a second in the state. In the 1961 season, the tracksters broke all school records but one. Some of the outstanding Seniors were Floyd Bates, who broke school records in high and low hurdles, high jump, and averaged close to 15 points per meet. Chester Harris, also a consistent point getter, set records in the 880 and the 440. Jim Cote was also a constant performer for the Colts in the 880 and the 440. Chester won the half at the State meet, while Jim placed third. Jim Bracy and Glen Ernest place first and second, re- spectively, in the 100 yd. dash during our April 4 meet with Walled Lake. 146 Eventful, Exciting Floyd Bates, a 1961 graduate, set school records in low hurdles, Northern’s Dalton Kimble leads Southwestern’s Glen high hurdles, and the high jump.

Under the direction of Coach Dick Leach, our Varsity Colts had an overall season re- cord of 13 wins and 3 losses. Desire, plus hard work, gave them their second consecutive City Series Championship. Joe Roberson’s Junior Var- sity Colts had a good season of 11 wins and 3 losses. Mr. Leace is expecting many J.V. boys to move up to Varsity for the 1962 season. Some of the highlights of the 1961 season are as follows: Bobby Reed’s two no hitters, one against Flint Northern and one against Owosso. He also set a school record with 8 wins and 77 strikeouts. Ano- ther fine pitching performance was given by Mike McFee in one of our games with Owosso. Merv Rettenmund led his teammates in hits, batting aver- age, runs scored, triples, stolen bases, and runs bat- ted in. George Skaff led the team in doubles, and was second in the all hitting department. As our first year in Saginaw Valley competition, we tied for second place. Many members of the 1961 team played on the Buick Colts, an American Legion team. As members of this team, they won the state American Legion Championship and went on to the Regional Tournaments in Princeton, Indiana, where they were defeated in the semi- finals. Eight returning lettermen led by Dick Shupe, Captain for the 1962 season, are Carl Cmejrek, Bobby Reed, Dan Felt, Jim Yuille, Carl Kowalcyk, Mike Bieto, and Roger Wozniak. 150 Although fooling around for the picture, the work of our managers should never be taken for granted. Being in charge of our team needs is a big responsibility and a job well done by our managers.

The equipment room is the “haunt” of our managers. Many hours are spent here as the managers prepare the equipment used by our athletic teams. Under the direction of Mr. Larry McGhan, these boys are train- ed to know the place for every piece of equipment required for the sport they manage. 151 Air Candid The candid section is a new idea dreamed up by the year- book staff. The thought stem- med from the popular television program, Candid Camera. In this relatively short section, it is our desire to capture people being themselves. When pic- tures are posed, people have a tendency to be nervous and look artificial. In a candid pic- ture, the victims are unaware that they are being photo- graphed; thus they are com- pletely relaxed. In this photo- graph, the spirit of Southwest- ern erupts as the Deep Har- mony Boys perform. We hope the student body enjoys this section as much as we enjoyed putting it together. 153 GULP! SLURP! Patty-cake Patty-cake” •MRS. TOP CAT' Taking time off from painting, dying, hammering, and cutting are the students working behind the scenery. Many stu- dents participated in the designing, painting, and building of scenery, for this year’s musical production: The King and I. Working, playing, laughing, and talk- ing—it all goes on backstage. Anytime it is quite possible to find someone tell- ing a good joke, or making a good joke, by hitting someone with a “paint brush,” full of paint. They all enjoy the working, and playing backstage. Mr. Koskinen, art advisor, is just as much fun as any student. For being a teacher—he’s a pretty swell guy, and all of his stage hands enjoy working with him. Bob Riederich, Ron Norton, Lannis Spencer (stage manager), Chuck Little, Janet Graham (art director), and Kay Ryland are discussing Tuptim’s Chair, designed and built by Chuck Little.

In Memoriam In memory of our friend, Jim Kadey, who passed away suddenly on March 30, 1962 at the age of 17. I, and the entire school body of Flint Southwestern High School, wish to express our heartfelt sympathy to Mr. and Mrs. Kadey and all the friends who mourned his loss. He has gone ahead, like one who finds A flower path that winds and winds Over the hills to a promised land. Where peace and comfort go hand in hand. Have we a right to wonder why He heard a call that has passed us by? Have we a cause for grief and woe Knowing that God has willed it so? No. He is happy waiting there Where the winds are soft and the skies are fair. How can we speak of him as dead When he has only gone ahead The blow was hard, the shock severe. We never thought his death so near; Only those who lost can tell The pain of parting without farewell. Just when your life was brightest. Just when your years were best, You were called from this world of sorrow To a home of eternal rest. 160 HOWARDS BROTHERS. Ami Arbor. Don Habkirk.
