Class of 1937s Good morning, teacher. Louis: What's so good about it? Teacher: We will now begin our history lesson. Gerald, will you give the events of September and October, 193 7 Gerald: On September 15 we had a grand time at our wienie roast at Marquette Woods. October 3T we had our freshman Hallowe'en party at Eileen Yasdick's home Boy! We sure did have the fun that night. We let our wild, untamed spirits run loose and scared the day-lights out of every witch and ghost within the Stevensville limits. Teacher: Now, Phyllis, will you continue and give the names of all who were present during the freshman assembly in 193 47 Phyllis: Those present were: Joe Bartak, Maynard Bodjack, harry Edmonson, Margaret Elavsky, Charles Engler, Lee Gast, Gerald Howard, Martin Mischke, Raymond Reznicek, Louis Seely, Eileen Yasdick, and myself. Teacher: Correct. Louis, will you name the class officers of that year? Louis: Gerald Howard was president; Raymond Reznioek, vioe pres- ident; and Phyllis Wickwire, secretary and treasurer. Teacher: Who were the members of the faculty, Raymond? Raymond: Miss Knode, Mrs. Myers, and Mr. Shearer. Teacher: Were there any other events? Charles Engler: Yes. We had a Christmas party at school, we visited the Millburg fish hatcheries, we had a hotdog booth at the P.T.A. Carnival, and we completed our first year in high school with a joyous picnic at Indian Lake. Teacher: We covered that year nicely and we will begin with 1935. Will you start us off with the events, Louis? Louis: During our sophomore year we gave a minstrel show and sun English play. We traveled to Chicago and visited the World’s Fair. We also had a Christmas party and a St. Patrick’s par- ty. We had a farewell theater party for Martin Mischke as he left us to go to Edwardsburg. Raymond: Louis forgot to mention our trip to the Field Museum in Chicago. We had a little trouble getting Louis out for the caretakers thought he was a mummy. Teaoher: Charles Getz, will you give the roll call for the class in 1955? Charles G: Well, some of our friends left us, but we got two new members. Our class members were Maynard Bodjack, Harry Edmon- son, Charles Engler, Gerald Howard, Martin Mischke, Nina Moore, Raymond Reznicek, Louis Seely, Phyllis Wiokwire, and nyself. Gerald: Our class officers of that year were: president, Gerald Howard; vice president, Raymond Reznicek; secretary and trea- surer, Phyllis Wickwire. Teacher: Who were the faculty members? Charles E: There was a slight change in the faculty. Miss Knode left us to be married and Miss Larkin took her place, but the (continued on page 28) 6 CLASS PROPHECY Herein is given the prophecy for each member of the class of 1937 as prophesied by the class. There are only six of which only one is a girl so ladies first. Phyllis Wickwire is expected to become a housewife, and when and if she and her hubbie agree to disagree, she will become a reporter on the SONSET AND EVENING GAZETTE as the result of her experience on the CARDINAL staff. Charles Gets is the man from Texas. He resigned as an old cow-hand and expects to become one of the Future Farmers of Amer- ica or a clarinet player in Wayne King's orchestra. We hope some one will warn Wayne for Gets is quite a blower. Next is Louis Seely who is seldom seen or heard—at the right time. He is going to be a movie actor, Joe E. Brown III, or a ball player on the Cubs' team. Then there is little Raymond Resnicek who is the dark haired gentleman of the class. He is reported to be fond of blondes as well as brunettes. Ressie expects to become a clerk in a Royal Blue Store, but, if he gets fired, he wants to become a G-man. Last but not least is Gerald Howard, the mathematician. Canary expects to become a trombone player in Guy Lombardo's orchestra or a basketball coach at Yale University. Oh, yes! There's Charles Engler. We almost forgot him be- cause he's so quiet and studious in contrast to the rest of us that we seldom know he is around. But, nevertheless, he is ex- pected to beoome a shoemaker. It is possible that Chuck will be a harmonica player on Pappy Cheshire's program whioh is heard over WBBM every afternoon except Sunday. That's all six and as you read the prophecy ten years from now, we wonder how close we have missed. If they don't become what we have prophesied, we all hope that they may beoome, at least, happy and worthy citizens. CLASS SONG Tune: WHEN MY DREAMBOAT COMES HOME Now our school days are o'er With our friends we'll be no more; Our dear old olass is now leaving Our S.H.S. forever more. Down life's highway we'll roam To make Success our very own. We shall remember forever Pals and teachers of yore. 7 Phyllis Wickwire, '37 Marie Schramm, '38 Seated left to right: Edgar Mischke, Franklin Gaul, Robert Sohoenfelder, Marshall Fritz, and Alvin Kolberg Standing: Mrs. Myers, Geraldine Spear, Marie Schramm, Lorraine Selig, Evelyn Maffei, and Mr. Shearer Last row: Victor Haka and Elaine Spitzer J UNIOR Name Nickname Marshall Fritz Fritz Franklin Gaul Pickle Victor Haka Vic Alvin Kolberg Prince Evelyn Maffei Eve Edgar Mieohke Bud Robert Sohoenfelder Shoney Marie Schramm Minnie Lorraine Selig Lorry Geraldine Spear Jerry Elaine Spitzer Spitz CLASS Hobby Destiny Traveling A spoke in the wheel of fortune Model T's Ford salesman Alone Loafer Bragging Traveling sales' man Being good Nurse Sporta Secret service agent Girls Married man Giggling Actress Singing Business woman Shows Violinist Dancing Noted doctor 8 Seated left to right: Ott, Essig, Spitzer, Gaul, Krajacio, E.

Quardokus, Mrs. Smith GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM Only one victory was acquired in spite of courageous effort during the girls' basketball season this year. They played six games - two each with Colcma, New Troy, and the alumnae. Their one victory was over the alumnae with a score of 16 to 15. There will be only one girl missing in next year's line-up, Phyllis Wickwire, so a stronger team is expected. There was no organized girls' team last year. The regular line-up was as follows: forwards, Caroline Bod- jack, Irene Siewert, and Ann Krajacic; guards, Phyllis Wickwire, Geraldine Spear, and Katherine Krajaoic. Alternative positions were ably filled by Evelyn Totzke, Rayella Davis, and Claire Quardokus who played guard; Evelyn Schneider who played center; and Jane Quardokus who played forward. The girls designed and made atrractive uniforms of cardinal red with their names on the legs of the shorts etched in black. Mrs. Smith and Miss Howard were the girls' coaches. 18 Seated left to right: Hope Anderson, Mrs. Myers, and Ruth Wishart Standing: Sophia DeMorrow, Helen Zick, Clara Hoge, and Loretta Zick CHAMPIONS This team held county championship from 1920 to 192U. In this period it won two games of a three game series against Deoatur in a contest for Southern Michigan championship with the unusual scores of 7 to 6 and 2 to 0. They never were defeated by a county team in this period. The line-up was as follows: left forward, Hope Anderson; right forward, Ruth Wishart; right guard, Helen Zick; left guard, Sophia DeMorrow; jumping center, Clara Hoge; and side oenter, Loretta Zick. Mrs. Myers was coach. At this time there was no new school building and, as the old school building had no gymnasium, they played in the township hall and always drew a capaoity crowd. In those days basketball tournaments were not organised as they are now. There were no preliminary tournaments in whioh contestants were eliminated. Also no trophies were awarded. Since that time some changes have taken place. Hope Ander- son is now Mrs. Gus Jasper of Stevensville, Sophia DeMorrow is now Mrs. Ralph Klackle of Bridgman, Helen Zick is Mrs. Nelson Miles of Holland, Clara Hoge is Mrs. Warren Schaffer of Baroda, and Loretta Zick is Mrs. Robert Coe of Chicago. 19 Seated: Friesl, Schoenfelder, M.

They met twice a week for the purpose of vocal training. MalHwg great progress this year, the second year they have had music in school the girls were able to give and make a success of an operetta, THE LOVE PIRATES OF HAWAII, and to furnish entertainment for many school and church programs. The senior girls met at the homes of the members semi-monthly when reports were given relative to the origin and perfection of music. These meetings were designed to develop musio apprecia- tion for which the time in school was not sufficient. Dues were collected amounting to twenty-five cents a year for the purpose of buying sheet music for class work. The officers for the senior club which was made up of any high school girls interested in music were: Phyllis Wickwire, president; Rae Marie Mongreig, vice president; Geraldine Spear, secretary and treasurer. The junior club was made up sixth, seventh, and eighth grade girls. Their officers were: Dorothy Fiedler, president; and Bonnie Greiffendorf, secretary and treasurer. 20 Loft to rights Dorothy Schoenfelder, Rae Uario Mongreig, Mrs Jefferis, Charles Gets, Arnold Gets, Prank Cupp, Goraid Hoimrd, Myron Cupp, Geraldine Spear, Evelyn Totzke; Prof. F. C, Null, and Mrs. Myers at the piano ORCHESTRA The orohestra was started in the latter part of September undor the supervision of Fredorio C. Null of Benton Harbor The oost of the weekly lessons was shared by the members None of the members had training previous to the organisa- tion of the orohestra upon the instruments they selected The instruments in the organisation are as follows: violins played by Evelyn Totske, Geraldine Spear, Rae Marie Mongreig, Dorothy Sohoenfelder, and Mrs. William Jefferis; trombones by Gerald Howard and Myron Cupp, olarinet by Charles Gets, oornet by Arnold Gets, and drums by Frank Cupp. The weekly lesson involves group work with the strings followed by study with the entire orohestra This is followed by a lesson with the brass and woodwind instruments Because of the length of time required to learn string instruments, the oroh- estra made only one publio appearance this year - at the basket- ball banquet - but will be able to make more appearances next year. 21 LOVE PIRATES OF HAWAII, an operetta, was presented by the glee clubs and music classes December 17, 193 . The money secured was used for a new piano. The scenes were laid in a girls seminary in Hawaii where Dorothy (jane Quardokus) is the only American girl among a group of rich Hawaiian girls. Billy Wood (Oliver Siewert), her sweet- heart, wants to see her, but it is quite impossible with Miss Primer (Marie Schramm) watching the girls continuously. Billy sends a letter saying he will dres6 as a pirate. How- ever the letter falls into the hands of Miss Primer and Dorothy knows nothing of his plans. Complications enter the plot when a band of real pirates (lead by James Carr) invade the seminary. Miss Primer, thinking they are just make believe pirates, puts them to work in the kitchen. Billy arrives on the soene with agents from America and thus saves all from disaster. Miss Pri- mer ha8 fallen in love with the pirate chief and saves him from being taken by the agents after he has promised to remain true to her and give up his life as a pirate. The final scene finds everyone happy and contented. Besides the principal characters whose names were given there was a girls chorus of twenty voices including Mary Dehring Evelyn DeMorrow, Dorothy Fiedler, Dorothy Schoenfelder, Norma Siewert, Francis Wickwire, Maxine Bujaok, Katherine Krajacic, Claire Quardokus, Evelyn Schneider, Evelyn Totike, M«rrial Bod- jack, Bernice Gaul, Ann Krajacic, Rae Marie llongreig, LaVerne Reimer, Irene Siewert, Esther Spitter, Geraldine Spear, and Phy- llis Wickwire. The pirates consisted of Leon Mielke, Bino DaDan Ralph Kolberg, Richard Frits, George Kibby, Joe Bodjack, Austin Cupp, Robert Jeffry, and Arthur Raab. The soldiers included Godron Ott, Frank Krajacic, Raymond Engler, Thomas Wach, Tony DaDan, and Charles Huscher. Mrs. Myers, music instructor, was director of the operetta. 22 Seatedi Geraldine Spear, Gerald Howard, Phyllis Wickwire, Louis Seely, Mary Ann Bodjaok Standings Raymond Reznicek, Charles Getz, Mrs. Myers, Charles Engler, Marie Schramm SENIOR PLAY A RUN FOR HER MONEY, a comedy in three acts by Edward E. Kidder, was presented by the senior class of 1937 on February 5 Berinda Meeker (Geraldine Spear) must be married by six o’clock on her nineteenth birthday, or she must forfeit thirty thousand dollars inherited from her father to her grasping Uncle Gideon (Charles Getz). Berinda escapes from her uncle and hides with her elder sister, Corinna Meeker (Phyllis Wickwire). Matters are complicated when Berinda’s lover, Ned Bailey (Gerald Howard), disappears. The fun begins when Corinna’s matrimonial advertise- ment for Ned is answered by Detective Blake Hayden (Louis Seely) who is employed by Gideon Warren to bring back Berinda. Corinna plays upon his belief that Adelaide (Mary Ann Bodjack), the town cut-up, is Berinda, and he takes her back to her uncle. Berinda and Corinna, in their mad flight from Hayden whom, they fear, will soon discover his mistake, run into Ned who is in the hands of a forceful widow (Marie Schramm). A negro porter, Sam, (Charles Engler), and a comical justice of the peace, Dilly, (Raymond Reznicek) help to heighten the comedy. Of course everything ends happily for everyone except Uncle Gideon. Ned and Berinda are married in time to inherit the mon- ey and Corinna and Blake plan to follow suit. Sinoe the senior class consisted of only six students, Geraldine Spear and Marie Schramm from the junior class and Mary Ann Bodjack from the class of ’36 were chosen to assist the sen- iors. Mr8. Myers directed the play. 23 Seated: Kuball, G. Bodjaok, R. Siewert, Markwald, Huscher, Hueb- ner, Baugher, Geipel Seoond row: L. MieIke, E. Siewert, Wiaoh, N. Ott, M. Ott, Kraja- oio, T.

The junior girls group was organized as a I4H Club and fulfilled the requirements of i|H work. Each girl made a towel, apron, dress, underwear, and shorts which are judged on achievement day. The officers for the junior girls' club are: president, Marie Davis; vice- president, Dorothy Fiedler; secretary and treasurer, Dorothy Schoenfelder; advisers. Miss Winifred Howard and Mrs. Zita Jefferis. The high school girls changed their organization about the middle of the year so that they were no longer affiliated with the I4H work because, instead of making the articles required for )|H work, they wanted to learn other things as crocheting, knit- ting, embroidering, as well as sewing since the latter is taught in high school, hey called their new organization the Cardinal Sorority and elected Rayella Davis president, Rae Marie Mongreig vice president, and Jane Quardokus secretary and treasurer. Mrs. Zita Jefferis is their adviser. 25 Seated: G. Mielke, Engler, A. Cupp, Carr, F. Cupp, and A. DaDan. Second row: Schulz, Jeffery, L. Mielke, Wach, E. Siewert, Baugh- er, M. Ott, N.

Louis: Then we took over the duty of publishing the CARDINAL, our school paper under the direotion of Miss Larkin. At the PTA Carnival we had a popcorn booth and we had a picnic at Indian Lake the last day of school. Phyllis: Teacher, we were state ohampions for basketball in Class D that year, and two of the members of the team were our class mates. Gerald Howard and Raymond Reznioek. Gerald: Yah. and remember that when we got home after winning the ohampionship. somebody had broken into our school and robbed the safe of a lot of money. Raymond: Yes. but some women put on a banquet for the team and gave the proceeds to the senior class and some of the other organizations that had had money stolen. Teacher: Yes, that was an exoiting year, but what happened the junior year? Charles G: We gave a play and a minstrel show; we had a junior- senior theater party, and had a grand time at the Hallowe'en and Christmas parties. We reoeived our class rings, and we sold home-made oandy at the PTA Carnival. A commercial course mis established, also, and Uiss Muskin was the teaoher. Teacher: Who were the members of the junior class that year? Raymond: They were Charles Engler, Charles Getz, Gerald Howard, Raymond Reznioek, Louis Seely, Nina Moore, and Phyllis Wick- wire. Teaoher: Who held the olass offices? Charles E: Phyllis Wiokwire was olass president, Nina Moore vice president, and Louis Seely secretary and treasurer. Gerald: Teaoher, we nearly forgot the biggest event. We were state ohamps for a second time in basketball. This time there were three on the team from our olass: Rezzie, Louie, and I.
