 jj diecame S iiouLb Honor Roll We want to congratulate Mu members of the honor roll for their excellent work. True, they have worked hard but we’re sure it wasn’t all work. As they say “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” and to be sure this honor roll isn’t a dull looking group of students. They have taken part in a great deal of extra curricular activities. Some have participated in the band for four years, the choir, and debate. All of the clubs such as Science, G. A. A., Girl Reserves, Rural Student and Latin Hubs are represented. In other ways these students have taken active part in their class. They have helped to earn a great deal of the Senior Class Fund by taking part in the Junior and Senior plays, selling schedule pencils, and many other worth-while projects. It would be interesting to see what each one on the honor roll is planning to do after he graduates. Two of the girls plan to be nurses, one a dietitian, and the other a stenographer. Now for the boys; they plan to be teachers, engineers, chemical engineers, and one plans to go to Annapolis. This year as you see we have eleven on the honor roll instead of the usual ten. This is due to the tie for ninctli place. The honor roll is arrived at by an accurate method. Facli student’s marks are totaled up in the following manner: an “A” counts six points; “B” four; “C” two, and ‘‘I)” one. Land counts for the first two years. Those classes which do not meet five days a week such as chorus, and physical education do not count as much as the classes which meet five days. HONOR ROLL Front Row: A. Roat, 1). Mast, A. Hafcr, K. Heclit, N. Paris. Second Row: D. Smith, W. King, D. Weir, J. Case, D. Glasgow, D. Kane. 10

Senior Class History Another year finds another senior class ready to stride forth on the road of life. As wo look hack over our carefree youth in high school, we recall with pride the many achievements that our class has left on the annals of Sturgis High School. When we were in the ranks of the uninitiated Hunts, under Marian Woods as President, we were the usual hunch of bewildered “kids”. In contrast to that, we find a group of debonair, intelligent youth about to exit forever from these sheltering walls. As freshmen we saw many of our members in the hand, on various athletic squads, and in forensics. Under the able leadership of Dick Weir we ended our first year in Senior High School. Another money-making project that has been unique to our class is the selling of schedule pencils. It started in the sophomore year when we had Elaine Heelit as president. Not only the selling of schedule pencils, hut hake goods sales and other projects marked the beginning of our financial efforts. )ur Prom was disguised as a barnyard frolic. With “Spring Fever” for our junior class play, we had our first venture in acting. tinder Mrs. Seitz, Mrs. Watson, Mr. Nadeau, Mr. Grim, and Mr. (Carpenter as advisors we have devoted ourselves strenuously to money projects in anticipation of our senior trip. However, due to transportation difficulties, ours will he the first class for some years that has not taken a trip. With Martin Hostetler as President; Donald Kane, Vfiee-Prcsident; Mary Lou Com-menator, Treasurer; Mary Ann Fritz, Secretary; Terrance Kane and George Petselm-lat as Student Union Keproscnta lives we have enjoyed a most successful senior year. Giving Moliere’s old classical comedy “The Imaginary Invalid” as our Senior play, we introduced the costume play in our school. We seniors wish to express our thanks to the faculty of Sturgis High School for the many ways in which they have guided us during our sojourn in school. Alvia Hafer u
