We have tried to pattern our book in the style of those popular and ever-handy almanacs of old, without which no household was complete in the days of our ancestors. We hope you will not find this arrangement too confusing, but if difficulty should be experienced in finding certain persons, refer to our table of contents. May you find as much pleasure in reliving the past year month by month, as you leaf through the pages, as We had in arranging this material for you in the order of its happening.

CARLETON PERRY Y In sincere appreciation for his cooperation and understanding during the first three years of our high school career, we, the graduating class, respectfully dedicate this 1949 annual to Mr. Carleton Perry. Mr. Perry is one of the veteran teachers on the faculty of Sturgis High School, having served 18 years as a classroom teacher and as principal for nine years. We as a class have always considered him a most valuable friend and will always keep a warm spot in our hearts for him. 5 Nqr, t fKpofl'S S turgensian Staff lt takys courage to be different and we as a class have never lacked this quality. That accounts for the fact that we have given you a new and entirely different book. There will be surprises for you from the first page to the last All pleasant, we hope. Uon't fail to read the table of contents introducing each section, for these are the sign posts to show you the way. On those pages you will find those choice bits of information which through the years have made the Ahnanac such popular reading, lfollow our weather forecasts for each monthg be mindful of the birthday reading we have given youg meet some of the new constellations in our heavensg enjoy the good natured ribbing we have given some of your classmatesg check to see how good a Poor Richardl' our jingle jangle Xormie is, and last but not least meet some of your pals right on the pages of our advertisfng.

May the north star guide them and turn their steps to high school next year. Many interesting facts concerning this class have presented themselves. They have the unique distinction of going places and doing things as a class. Each year the group takes a trip to Chicago, the benefits of which are far-reaching. More classes should follow their example of doing things together. Through the years the class will no doubt like to remember that Bill Wlheeler was known as the class clown, Don Noel and Harold Frohriep as the heavenly twins, Jane Gallup as the best cook, Nancy Schipper, the best seamstresss, Paul Giffen, the mathematical wizard, Marilyn Reed, the A hoarder, Martha Perry, the nicest disposition, jenva Dolamore, Elizabeth Hoenecke, and Gloria Gilbert. the prize winning whisperers. The tallest and shortest boy combi- nation any 8th grade class can boast of will be found in Baby jay Lego, 4- ft. 7V4 inches, and joe XVinger, 5 ft 113A inches. The stars also predict that this class boasts raw material from which basketball stars are made, to date Dana Lunger and joe NVinger. Vndoubtedly, the most interesting person in this class is Valentina Trehearne, who came to Sturgis from Latvia just a little over two years ago, and in this short period of time has mastered the English language and the first eight grades of school, Apologies for missing pictures.

Drama Club The Dramatic Club was established four years ago to further the interest in all phases of dramatics, and also to provide entertainment for the school and community. The club has about 5ll or oil active members and tries to meet every two weeks. Klany things were accomplished this year ln tht- fall the group went to Battle Creek to see l Remember Ixlillllilll and later traveled to lflkhart to see two Shakespearean plays, 'l'aming of the Shrew and llIid-Summer Nightls Dream . They gave a Christmas play for an assembly entitled VVhy the Chimes Rangl' and also presented two one act plays for the VVomen's Club, Present Day Courtship , and Perchance to Dreamn. The Dramatic Club, to the members, means much more than just dues and parties. It means the theatre and all that goes with loving the stage. It is the excitement before curtain time, or the slamming of a door during a love scene, the hurry in the make-up room, the panic when you have a two minute change and lose a shoe. It is the ringing of the chimes in the wrong place and having to hold the door shut because it is warped, These are the things they will always remember. 42 Miss Florence lluizenga Miss Betty XVhitelock D1 ECTORS N By t . what ti DRAMA SNAPS Lfpper left: Foreground: Marv Heaton directing ,lane Bandholtz and Grace Prestidge in the pantomime The Light House Keeper as fellow club mates act as critics.

Student Council President .... ..... - -- ..... Bob Freeman Vice-President --- .... ..... - -Paul Scheetz A government of the students, by the students, and for the students is that which is invested in the Student Council. The organization consists of 12 members, two from each class, elected at the be- ginning of the school year. The activities of the Council have grown smaller, though more intense, during the past two years. This year, instead of sponsoring parties and dances, the Council has made trade assemblies its objective. Last year we traded assemblies with Cold- Secretary ..................... Lois Danneberg Sponsor ...... ........... M r. Snow water. This year, with student cooperation, we ex- changed assemblies with both Coldwater and Bronson. The assemblies consisted of local talent chosen by the Council. Anyone was eligible and the assemblies were successful. The Student Council also became a member of the Twin-Valley Association of Student Councils. The meeting was held in Albion and the two-year members of the Council represented Sturgis High School.

The Future Homemakers of America is a national organization for girls studying homemaking in high school. The Sturgis Chapter has a club mother as well as a sponsor. Their duties are to attend meetings. offer suggestions, and accompany members on trips. This year's sponsor and club mother are bliss Doris Pettyjohn and Mrs. Bramley, There are four degrees which a member may obtain by passing certain tests. They are-Junior Homemaker, State Homemaker, Chapter Home- maker, and National Homemaker. When a member has earned one hundred points, through attending meetings, acting on committees and outside activities pertaining to homemaking, she receives an attractive pin. This pin is octagon in the form of a house upheld by the hands of a boy and girl. After each of the four degrees has been achieved, she is awarded an additional symbol which is attached to the pin by a chain. The F.H.A. began this year's activities with initiation of new members in October, The formal part of the initiation was held at Camp Fort Hill, and consisted of a pot luck dinner and a candle light ceremony. That day at school the girls wore roasting. aprons and carried brooms or some other household implement for their informal initiation. Also in October, the club attended the regional convention in Kalamazoo. The number of clubs in this region is about sixty. At this convention they were entertained by a style show at the Kalamazoo Civic Theater. The style show was presented by Simplicity Pattern Company with models from New York. As a perfect ending for the month of October, the club had a rummage sale, the proceeds of which were 5540.00 In November the girls entertained the Three Rivers F.H.A. The theme of the program was Your Manxiers are Showing and included movies, book reviews and several skits showing the right and wrong in etiquette. An outstanding event in january was the Snow- flake Ball which the club sponsored, in cooperation with the Varsity Club. The grand climax of these activities was the state convention which was held this year in East Lansing March 24 and 25, and Ma1'lene Kisseberth and Grace Prestidge were named delegates. 4 ..

Laying aside all joking this is a remarkable class in many other ways. Dick Brubaker, Bill Holtz, Lois Sherry, Janice Bothamley, Nancy Niles, and Lois Shook were the six top ranking students at the end of the first semester. The class boasts of several students with artistic ability, who, if they continue in this field, may be promising artists in the future. Lois Sherry, John Sturgis, Jocelyn Kemble, and the Lewis Twins. In the culinary arts, Janice Bothamley took an all-county honor and a chance to enter the state cherry pie baking contest which has a trip to Wash- ington in the offing. Best of luck to our Janice. Top notcher musicians, vocally speaking, are Don Lytle whose rendition of Old Man River is tops with us, and Jack Frohriep, who has the coveted honor of the lead in our operetta. Pat Wallick Clemens is starring in Here Comes the Bride . Dick is a lucky man. Howard King is a mighty nice red-headed boy to knowg Jim Bogart is the boy with the most pleasing personality and winning smile. Joyce Stutz, Lois Danneberg, and Florence Studeman are considered Jthe most conscientious workers. It would be hard to find two girls more dependable or sweeter than Barbara Wright or Nancy Kruger. ff J Gerry Parks and Nurse Ardis VanPopel by M fi alylfifdjfre Junior Class inseparablesg for poise and person- ! uf' ality the vote goes to Grace Prestidge and Jocelyn ffff Afilj' 'V mbleg and Dave Finch, Dean Sidener, Bob Jones, ,fi J f'fJ!

Valedictory To the public we are probably just another senior class that is graduating. It is nothing new, for seniors graduate every year. But to us of the senior class of '49 graduation is the stepping stone to actual life. We've studied and pondered over the secrets of nature, the hardships that others have had in life, the problems of higher math, and most of all, we've learned how to get along with each other. Every little step in our ladder of learning was put there for a definite reason. It was to prepare us for what we would meet in the actual practice of living. Our high school days are a vast collection of experiences and memories. Upon graduating we leave behind experiences which we never again will go through. We might now be glad over the fact that we're at last free from books and teachers, but within a few years or even months we'll be remi- niscing about those Friday night games, Saturday night dances, those Monday AM classes and all the many other events which make our schooldays our best days. We youth are a peculiar lot We try to evade any possible work or responsibility in connec- tion with school and then in a few years we'll sit and wonder why we never made better use of our time. Only the stars know what the future holds in store for us. Each graduating class has its problems and every year they seem to be more difficult than the last. But somehow these problems are met and each senior finds his or her place in society. As each one of us walks across the stage and receives his diploma, who knows you may be looking at a future president, another Einstein, or Shake- speare, or Edison, or Chopin, but whether common laborer or President, each will find his place in the world. One would be useless without the other. Our biggest job is to be good citizens and take the responsibilities which will be ours, taking pride in whatever we undertake to do. Education never ceases. Once you've graduated that doesn't mean you can say good-bye to books forever. Learning is a continuous process. What we've learned in the grades, in junior high, and in senior high is very little compared to the knowledge we'll gain in future years. School has just set the stage. Now it is up to each of us to play his part. VVe are all embodied with the spirit of Ulysses, that great old Trojan war hero, into whose mouth Alfred Tennyson has put these words which I quote as the message I wish to leave with you, since it so aptly expresses our feelings and reactions at this time of our graduation. All times I have enjoyed- Much have I seen and known- Yet I cannot rest from travel, I will drink life to the lees. I am a part of all that I have met. Yet all experience is an arch where through, Gleams that untraveled world, Whose margin fades, Forever and forever when I move. How dull it is to pause, To make an end and not to Shine in use l- Life piled on life were all too little. Push off, my classmates, and sitting well in order smite The sounding furrowsg- To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. -Ray Dresser Salutatory How perfectly John Milton has expressed the position of seniors in his words, Tomorrow to fresh woods and pastures new. Having finished our high school education, we are no-W ready to enter the fields and pastures of adult life which are entirely new to us A feeling of expectancy and enthusiasm fills us as we step into our future life. We have before us such an abundance of careers that many of us will have difficulty choosing the one in which we will be happiest and most successful. We will be anxious to know what the stars hold in store for us as we journey along the path of our choice. If we were to look into a telescope for a glimpse into the future, we would see that some of us will travel the long path of the Milky Way to the final goal of success. This path is not an easy one to follow. The innumerable stars along the way will make our travel difficult and strive to distract us, but some of us will reach the deserved goal of success with a deep sense of victory. We can also see that the vast majority of us will follow the course of the faithful North Star. Our pathway will be straight and definite. We will reach our height early and remain in our desired position of security. Perhaps some of us will find ourselves in a position to guide and direct others into the right course, as the North Star so often does Regardless of the occupation we choose for our future we can be sure that the final results will be comparable to the efforts expended. We have the excellent background of a high school education be- hind us in addition to an abundance of memories. Some of us plan to continue our education, but others have completed their background work. We are all stepping into fields and pastures which are entirely new and different, but with determination and ambition we will find our places in some phase of adult life and strive for the utmost that the stars hold for us. -Mary Lee Funk Class History Sept. 1. 1945 to Iune 1, 1946 The class of '49 had a roster of 115 promising students. They fully enjoyed all the new opportuni- ties which high school life offered. There were more freshmen on reserve teams than there had been in some years. The year's business was poor but we elected the following officers for the task of handling what there was: President, R. Freeman, Vice President, Grace Griffisg Secretary, Mary Dana Huntley, Treasurer, Betty Wright, Jim Holt and Doug Mowry, Student Council. Sept. 1. 1946 to Iune 1. 1947 We reached our peak in membership as sopho- mores. We had 120 enrolled in the class. This year saw Alan Freeland, Bob Brown, Jack Lint, LaDonna Baylor, Beryl King, and Jim Holt as our officers. At the expense of our flattened treasury we kept the sophomore tradition of having a prom. A little profit was made from selling candy, pop and Trojan Stickers at the Reserve games. Sept. 1. 1947 to Iune 1, 1948 Action was the motto of 116 juniors in '47 and '48 Our officers really proved their ability in this year, for at the beginning of the year our bank balance was standing in the red. But by the end of the year, we had 548722. These officers were: Ben Persing, Presidentg R. Dresser, Vice President, Alan Freeland, Secretary, Treasurer, jack Lintg Bob Freeman and Beryl King, Student Council representatives. April 30, 1948-8 P.M. You Can't Take it With You , was presented to an overflow crowd, and won immediate acclaim. May 22. 1948-9-12 P.M. Our J-Hop, Heaven Sentu, was enjoyed by all who attended. The Walls were decorated with blue paper and starsg over head were clouds of spun glassy and along the sides were lawn furniture and small shrubs. It was hard work for all involved but we were justly rewarded for our efforts. Certainly we wouldn't have had it any other way. Sept. 1, 1948 to Iune 3, 1949 This year completes our almanac for the class of '4-9. It has been a thrilling episode for all those taking part in the activities provided. October: This month provided us with time to elect our officers. A heated campaign raged throughout the school and the final ballot showed the following as winners: Ray Dresser, Presidentg Mary Dana Huntley, Vice President, Beryl King, Secretary, Marion Smoker, Treasurer, Bob Freeman and Paul Scheetz, President and Vice President of the Student Council respectively. Nov. 19. 1948 The Senior Class showed their talents once more in he presentation of Out of the Frying Pan by Francis Swann. It was well received by an enthusi- astic audience. The winter and spring months were occupied by a continuation of activities including: dancing after games, parties, and all the things that go with preparation for graduation-announcements, name cards, caps and gowns, Sturgensian, and last but not least, passing Mr. Peck's class. More special activities for Seniors completed our springtime festivities. These included the Senior Banquet and Senior Skip Day , both of which will live long in the memories of the '49ers. LOOKING TO THE FUTURE Iune 3. 1949 On this Friday of June in the year 1949, ninety seniors will put forth eager hands for the diplomas which represent twelve long years of work on the road to an education. Iune 4 to Iune 8, 1949 The Senior Trip, an event of lasting significance at the end of which high school life of all '49ers will be over.
