Cladd Jvlid tory Portrayed as meek little Freshmen, we entered into Stambaugh High school in the fall of 1948. At the beginning of our Freshmen year we were quite disturbed and confused by the changing of classes, the ringing of bells, and the idea of having new teachers for each class. After a few weeks we settled down and finally elected our class officers. The class chose: Stanley Holme- President, Jean Bezzi-Vice President, and hhriam Melchiori-Secretary-Tressurer. Our first class meeting was called for the purpose of teaching us parliamentary procedure. Plans were proposed for a Freshmen party at our next class meeting. This event turned out to be successful, except for a few unlucky incidents, the best remembered being the time John Parrotta spilled apple cider on M s. Waite's dress. The party proved to be the most outstanding activity of our Freshmen year. After a joyous vacation, we came back in high spirits and elected Donald Sartorslli-President, Russell Goodhall-Vice President, Marion Jurecic- Secretary, and Nancy Miatech-Treasurer. We lost two of our classmates, Carol Elgetti and Larry Johnson. Filling their vacancies were Verna Tervo of Iron Belt, Wisconsin, Lucille Warmington of Iron River, and Arlen Mattson of Bates. Some of our classmates were members of the football team which won the Menominee Range and Upper Peninsula Championship, Some also were participants in the basketball squad which won the Menominee Range Co-Championship. Our Junior year began with the election of David Anderson-President, Donald Halverson-Vice President, Grace Erickson-Secretary, and Edna Eckerberg-Treasurer. The first business undertaken by the class was to choose the patterns for our class rings and then order them. we found, to our dismay, then they arrived, that most of us had made the common mistake of ordering too large a ring. As in prior years, sports played an important and interesting part in our student life. The football and basketball teams did a fine job in upholding the honor of the school. The inevitable problem of raising money faced us early in the school year and we decided to sell Christmas cards to relieve the financial strain. The outstanding affair of our Junior year was the Prom. For our theme we selected 'A Dreamer's Holiday', and the gym was attractively decorated with a star-studded heaven, tulips,and a wishing well. We will never forget the thief who stole our pennies from the wishing well. The case still remains unsolved. The leaders of the Grand March for the occasion were David Anderson as king, and Donna Hebert as queen. All was s colorful and joyous affair. The thrill of our Junior year was Class Day, when we juniors moved to the front row to take the seats of our fellow Seniors. Finally we had reached our goal as Seniors! As we approached our senior year, we realized that we were now on the last lap of our journey through school. Our attention, much as in prior years, was centered on the election of our class officers. Reliability and efficiency were the two qualities which were necessary in choosing our candidates. After much debating, we finally chose as officers Arvis Rhino-President, Lowell Lepisto-Vice President, Joan Savage-Treasurer, and Phyllis Nowicki-Secretary. Losing Lucille warmington from our class roll Joan Tamminen of Newberry, Michigan was taken in her vacant space. Finishing the season as Upper Peninsula and Menominee Range Champions, we were proud of our football team, and especially because some of the boys from our class had helped to make this success possible. Deciding at our first class meeting to raise money for our treasury by selling magazines, we elected as our business manager for the sales campaign Chester Busakowski, better known to his classmates as 'Big Chiefn. The team captains for the event were: Donald Halverson, Stanley Holme, Grace Erickson, and most important, the leader of the winning team, Mariam Melchiori. Following our Christmas vacation, we had our graduation pictures taken. Most of us found the results to be satisfactory. we, as Seniors of 1952.now wait anxiously for activities which make graduadion a happy time -Class Day, Awards Day, Baccalaureate Service, the Senior Banquet,and last, but far from least, the long-awaited graduation night. We will never forget our four pleasant years in high school. The embarrassing and happy moments, ws well as the more serious ones, make up the memories that we will take with us. We have had our share of knowledge and joy, and now are on our way. Colm' green and ,filwr ,FIoWe1 Y4llow ye -'me htillfor ,n0t'fvrfdme. Page Seventeen
