Sturgis High School - Sturgensian Yearbook (Sturgis, MI)

Text from Pages 1 - 192 of the 1962 volume:

Farewell I The day has come when the old Central High building is no longer our high school. An era has ended to make way for a new one; never again will things be the same. For five days a week, for thirty-six weeks a year, for four years we students have come through the double doors that are her entrances. Sometimes we have dreaded coming, sometimes have looked forward to attending certain classes. Nevertheless, we have hung coats in her cloak rooms and walked down her broad halls; the same halls that hold many of our memories. We removed books from desks that bear the marks of our use and sharpened pencils at our favorite” pencil sharp- 2 or s.h.s. eners. We talked to friends we made within her walls, friends that we may rarely see once we leave her shelter. We pushed our way through the double doors of G.S.R.; the varnish has turned color under the repeated pressure of millions of hands, hun¬ dreds of times a day. We attended classes in rooms that we will always remember for the teachers we had in them and the incidents that occurred there. Everywhere we go in S.H.S. we meet our memories: in the halls, and the classrooms, sitting at desks and in the balcony of the gym, attending games and dances. We will miss you, Central High School. c faculty Sen i srs Under cl Assneii ivmtr higVi Activities Spirts Pair mis 4 The Class of 1962 Proudly Dedicates Yearbook to: f Mrs. Helen Bitner v Fir your outstanding teaching ability, for your understanding and humor that made dtir high school years more enjoyable, for the fun-filled memorizing of Antony’s speech, Friends, Romans, Countrymen,” and Brutus’ There is a Tide in the Affairs of Men” from JULIUS CAESAR, and for memorable class periods, for $j£ur many years of service to the sophomore classes of S.H.S., and for your continuing interest in us as we grow, we will always remember you. For these and innumerable other reasons, the Class of 1962 is proud to dedicate our Sturgensian to you, Mrs. Helen Bitner. 5 ■■ Left to right: Dorthea Colman, J. Earl Millett, Otto Goethals, George Abel, Richard Freeman, Harold Young, Ernest Schaeffer. The Board of Education As President of the Board of Education, it is my pleasure on behalf of the Board, to wish the Class of 1962 success in the future and to congratulate the Seniors upon their graduation. You soon will be faced with many responsibilities in a rapidly changing world, and it is the hope of all Board members that you have learned through your school training to assume these responsibilities. We sincerely want to wish each of you the best of luck in the future. Richard Freeman President of the Board of Education 6 A recognized person in the halls of S.H.S. is our superintendent, Warren J. Fudge. Working with the Board of Education and directing the Sturgis Public Schools keeps his schedule very active. Administration Tap, tap, tap! Mr. Robert Miller has given the students of S.H.S. over thirty years of loyal sendee, and is now in his twelfth year as principal. Daily, he deals with stu¬ dent problems, aids school activities, and retains a fine blend of authority and understanding. 8 ‘ The superintendent’s office is always kept at its best with the efficient help of Mrs. John Quirin, Miss Barbara Lutz, and Mrs. Herbert Magnus. Mr. Miller’s secretary, Mrs. Dorothy Freeland, can be found making out absence or tardy slips, ad¬ vising students on extracurricular activities, or helping them with their class schedule. She is truly a friend of every student at S.H.S. These are seven men whose work can be seen anywhere in Sturgis High School. They are the maintenance staff com¬ posed of, FRONT ROW: Earl Armin- trout, Homer Tobias, Walter Falken- stein. BACK ROW: William Long, Herbert McLauchlin, Chester Casner, Ora Fennel. The Senior Class wishes to express their appreciation to these men for a job well done. ALTA G. ANDERSON, BS Shorthand, Typewriting MARY O.

We had sponsored the an¬ nual Homecoming, a Government Day, a Senior Play, and several dances just like any other class. And we had managed to live through Mr. Peck’s infamous tests, which was nothing really unique— though we thought so at the time. But our class was something more than this—something special. For, as the class of 1962, we were the last class to graduate from the Old Sturgis High School.

Instead of the regular class officers, each of the seven sections elected its own representative. The representa¬ tives were: Dale Barnell, Larry Bayer, Ralph Burkhead, Mike Doubt, Darlene Gose, Tom Reed, and Mike Sayers. These representatives carried out their duties with the aid of the following class sponsors: Mr. Robert Finlay, Chairman; Mrs. Mona Reick; Mr. Roger Bates; Mr. Jack Grant; Mr. Harold McElhaney; and Mrs. Lenore Moss. These eighth graders showed great enthusiasm which will be of help to them in the future. Many members of the Junior Band are looking forward to becoming members of the Senior Band next year. Others are hoping to participate in sports or other activities. 62 Viva Asbury Lewis Ash Brenda Ball Alan Bare Mike Bargo Dale Barnell Harold Barrett Linda Basinger Larry Bayer Robert Beardsley George Beckwith David Bell Corinne Berger , Barbara Blanchard Jack Blanchard Tom Blodgett Laura Bordner Phyllis Bowsher Donna Brandeberry Robert Bressler Jean Broadwell Fern Brock Alice Brooks Tim Brown ¥ ¥ -4 Brenda Brownridge Audrey Broyhill Harry Brunn Ralph Burkhead Pamela Butz SueAnn Carpenter Donna Chapman Harold Christner Milvin Clouse Sandra Coleman Edna Collins Dianna Cote Holton Cowan James Cramer Susan Darnell Irene Darrach Marcia Deisch Jerry Dell I Linda Deter Diane Dilley Mary Dobberteen Michael Doubt Elizabeth Eckhardt Susan Embler Cathye Emery Dianne Fennell Janice Fennell Janet Ferrell Dave Field Franklin Fisher Jim Fisk Cheryl Francis Deborah Frays Alice Fry David Fry Janice Fry Judy Fuller Steven Gadol Clifford Gary Linda Gerren Kathryn Gilchrist Lola Goodpaster Darlene Gose Carol Grabe Warren Greenwood Larry Hahn Verda Hanna Douglas Harker Greg Harker Linda Harker Judy Hart Annita Hawkins Sally Hawver Myron Hayden Susan Hays Susan Heichel David Hentzell Randall Hess Cynthia Hilton Carolyn Holsinger 64 Linda Hooley Cindy Hopkins Dop Horton Diann Hotovy Judith Hubbard Meredith Hunt Ronnie Jackson Kenneth Jacobson Cheryl Jones Barbara Jordan Marilyn Jordan Mary Kane Scott Kerchner Dane Kime Roger Kinsey Walter Kinsey Larry Kline Greg Krock Kristin Krull Susan Lang Gail Large Vickie Leister Rita Lewis Beth Lingg Karl Littman Sandra Longhenry Kent Loomis Charles Lorich Colleen Lower Cynthia Lung Alma Lykins Robert Machan Dan Magnus Victoria Mandigo Marilee Marshall Stephanie McBride Judith McEllenie Joe McMillin Delora Miller Edith Miller Jerri Miller Linda Miller £ 4 Ron Milligan Marcia Mingus Sharon Neastine Jo Ann Newman Darlene Nolan Larry Nusbaum Joyce Owens Larry Pagles Pearl Pagles Gregory ' Peck Steven Penner Betty Persons William Pierson Jane Pilkenton Debra Poynter Paul Pursel Kathy Reddy Sue Reed I -4 -4 Tom Reed Michael Reeg William Richards Jerry Richardson Martha Riley Carolyn Roberts Joan Robinson Larry Roe Janet Royer Richard Runyan Karen Sachse Connie Sadewasser Michael Sayers Susan Schaeffer Sandra Scheetz John Schmidt Don Schoenouer Susan Schoettler Mike Sharick Rita Sheets Brent Shemberger Jim Sidener Leonard Southwick Janice Sparks 66 Mary Spearow Art Spinney John Sponsel Sally Sprecken Jack Sprowl Jim Stambough Susan Stark Delores Stewart James Swarts Melvin Swihart Michael Taylor Virgil Taylor Phillip Tolsma Charles Tuttle Christine VanAlmen Mary VanZile Reggie Walker Helen Wallace Kenneth Walsh Charles Walters Jerry Ware Diana Werkhaven Linda Werner Harry West -4 4 - ► -4 ► David White Patti White Karen Wiles Judy Will Dean Williams Dennis Williams William Woods Kip Yoder Michael Yoder Sandra Yunker Terry Zimmerman MISSING Dan Baldwin Cheryl Carney Judy Deroshia James Emsing David Ettinger Lester Ettinger Fred Flowers Kenneth Griffith Susan Hart Donald Hawver Patsy Humphries William Lock Kenny Maples Royce McCullough Charles Miller Greg Penchoen Diane Ritter Robert Robinson Linda Schroeder Geraldine Siebert Geraldine Slone Danny Tozer Cheryl Troyer Alan Weske Larry Yerrick 67 Left to right: Guy Remenap, Bill Welty, Carol Kronberg, Sam Lytle, Jerry Girton, Michael Allison, and Bill Eckhardt.

The class was divided into seven sections each of which elected one representative instead of the usual class officers. These representatives were: Michael Allison, Bill Eckhardt, Carol Kronberg, Sam Lytle, Guy Remenap, Jerry Girton, and Bill Welty. Aiding these representatives were the following sponsors: Mrs. Gladys Girton, Chairman; Mr. Frank Tufts; Mr. Schuyler Pletcher; Mrs. Mildred Huff; Miss Mary Anderson; and Mrs. Gloriann Poljak. 68 1 1 Stephen Adams Stephen Allen Michael Allison Craig Anderson Nancy Arver Robert Atwater Howard Avildsen David Baldwin James Ballard Mike Barnell Richard Batten Ronald Bauman Susan Bauman Carolyn Beers Jane Benson JoAnne Bercaw John Blassuis Ray Boes Jackie Borden Arthur Bowman Marcia Brewington Joanne Brown Virginia Burke David Button ◄ Larry Camburn David Campbell Marjorie Carr Pat Casey Sandra Chaff Donald Cherrington Roger Childs Kristine Christensen Chappy Cleveland Twila Cline Virginia Close Sue Cobbs Nina Cowan Frances Cullifer Jeffrey Currier Andrew Darragh Marcia DeWitt Jack Dillon Susan Doenges Karen Donaldson Gaylord Dunafin Bill Eckhardt Bruce Ehret Jerry Fair John Fair Brian Fiebelkorn Barbara Fiegel Mary Fink Leon Fraim Pamela Fraylick Cynthia Frazier Mary Fredenburg Richard Frost Sally Fry Fay Furniss Judy Gerren 4 - 4 ◄ 4 Dixie Good Joy Grate Marcinda Griffith Susan Griffith Chris Haack Connie Hack Carleen Hanshue Charlotte Hardesty John Harrelson Betsy Harris Janet Harter Linda Haskins John Hershey Robert Hibbard Walter Hiemstra Robert Holt James Holtz Cheryl Holzaepfel Bill Hopping Norman Horning Sue Houghtaling Pat Hutchison Steve Irelan Dixie Jacobs 70 1 Mary Jenner David Johnson Carol Jokela Kathleen Jones William Jourdan Kay Kasdorf Nicholas Kendall Wendy Kerchner Myron Kielkopf Nancy Kimball Tami Kirkpatrick Janice Kitchen Jodie Kline James Klinefelter Karen Knapp Terry Koehl Donald Kroll Carol Kronberg JoAnn Kuhl Barry Lahmeyer Charles Leister Mark Lindman Tim Littman Guyn Logan ► 4 Nancy Lovelace Richard Lung Dorothy Mann Julie Marshall Daniel Martin Dennis Matthes Douglas Matthes Toni Mayer Paulette McElmurry Phyllis Merchant Richard Messner James Miller Terry Milligan Gloria Mishler Diana Mitchell John Moss Mark Meyers Marvin Meyers 4 Vicki Meyers Jean Neamen Susan Nelson Gary Nolan Kent Norris Ray Notestine Mary O’Dell David Ott Sharon Overholt Charlene Patrick William Patterson Connie Persing Linda Pfenning Robert Pinney Sherry Poley Robert Potts Kenneth Probts Larry Rayner 72 Guy Remenap Jon Rhoads Tom Richards Reba Richardson Mary Rickett Norma Rickett Shirley Rider Gayle Rifenburg Paul Rogers Jean Rommel Lin da Rosson Jill Royer Janet Royeton Sue Saddison Terry Saddison Byron Samuels Kathy Schmick Sandra Schmidt Carol Schraeder Michael Schragg Regina Schrock Anna Schwartz Candyce Sharp Sharon Shears James Shoulders JoAnn Sidener Shirley Sidener Gale Sites Richard Sleeper Roger Smith Donald Smoker Linda Somes Byron Sowers Steve Spade Kathy Stark Carol Stevens Carl Stuart David Studeman Jerold Summey Danial Sweeney Howard Terrell Teresa Ulmer Phillip Vanek Phyllis Vanek Cindy VanPelt Dianne Wagner Cynthia Walworth Adelia Weaver Susan Weisheit Bill Welty Joan Wenger Robert West Annie Laurie Wheat Wayne Wiard Steve Williams Bobby Wilson Pamela Wilson Cheryl Wolf Susan Wooton Kent Wright Raymond Miller Terri Magnus Bonita Pfenning Victoria Six ■ - P |9RRR| H| - wl UTi ■Ik; fhfeJ - r w c3 jf l| P JfW |f, | ' m JlfcA : ‘ flPw jg ®.

The band has received First Division ratings in Marching Contests for more than twenty years; the Concert Band has brought home Firsts in Class A division for the past five years. But this year the band was chosen to represent Michi¬ gan in a National Marching Competition in Mason City, Iowa. For this event, which is to publicize the premier of Meredith Wilson’s THE MUSIC MAN, one band from each state was chosen. Any high school band was eligible to apply for the contest to be held in Mason City on June 19, 1962. For the judging of this contest, the bands will do a great deal of street marching while judges among the crowd will judge the bands on neat¬ ness, straight lines, general appearance, showmanship, and audience re¬ action. Five bands will be chosen in this manner who will then present shows such as are given during football games for the final selection. The Sturgis band started work on both their marching and their show early in the New Year. Other activities participated in by the busy band members included the usual halftime shows at football games, pep bands that played for pep rallys and for basketball games, marching in various parades, All Stars Band Festival held in Albion, the annual District Solo and Ensemble Con¬ test in February followed by the State contest for those receiving First Divisions, The District and State Band and Orchestra Contests, the annual Spring Concert in the Auditorium, and the climatic Band Bust in May. Sturgis is proud of its fine band and excellent director and hopes it con¬ tinues in its outstanding work. MR.

Beginning Band The Beginning Band is made up of seventh graders and rehearses fifth hour every day. This band usually does not perform in public, but it did appear in a combined concert with the Junior Band in October. The majority of these band members take private lessons; thus, they are fine examples of a future industrious band. 78 Choruses The Senior Chorus this year was somewhat smaller than in previous years. Although they lost a number of ex¬ perienced voices in graduation, they were fortunate in having a fairly large number of boys with which to work and balance the group. Because of the smallness, the entire senior chorus was also the robed A Cappella Choir. As a group, the chorus participated in the Thanksgiving and Easter assemblies and the Twelfth Annual Christmas Concert with the band. In April they traveled to Kalamazoo for the annual Spring Chorus Festival held in the Field House at Western Michigan University. In May they held their annual Spring Concert in the gym. Officers elected in December were: president, Connie Fahmeyer; vice-president, Cindy Speicher; secretary, Mary Brubaker; and treasurer, Fois Peerbolte. This year marks the end of Mr. Casner’s twelfth year as director of the choruses. There were 15 seniors in this year’s chorus, of whom had been singing with Mr. Casner for six years, since the seventh grade. These graduating seniors were: Sylvia Meyers, Barbette Firth, Jane Casner, Mary Brubaker, Diane Bixler, and Margaret Wolfe. The Girls’ Choir, consisting of freshmen and sophomore girls met twice a week. Their work was mainly in prepara¬ tion for the senior chorus. This gave them individual and small group experience. They participated in the Christ¬ mas Concert and the Spring Concert held in May. There were approximately sixty-five seventh and eighth graders in this year’s Jr. High Choir. Because of their large number they had to meet separately but together participated in their assemblies in the gym, the Christmas and Spring Concerts.

Reports of club activities, sports, student of the week, alumni news, and other articles con¬ tributed to making the paper a big success. Tom Barrett was editor of the paper and Mr. Turley Tudor was faculty assistant. Other members of the staff were Karen Holshuh, Toodie Finlay, Jane Casner, Sylvia Meyers, Elizabeth Foster, Mary Brubaker, Mary Washington, Sue Hunsberger, Elaine Kunzie, Nancy Mercer, Trudy Blanchard, Kay Forrest, Barb Crossman, Priscilla Cashour, Charlyn Martel, Ruth Riley, John Williamson, Carol Bayer, David Schwartz, Penny Pursel, Fran Lough, Barb Kronberg, Cindy Speicher, Donna Bonfiglio, Eileen Tibbott, Kathy Marshall, Jeanette Blaskie, Myrna Dougan, Jim De Haven, Karen Anderson, and Barbette Firth. Tom Barrett, Editor; Mr. Tudor, advisor; and Karen Holshuh, assistant Editor discuss plans for the Trojan Times. 83 I Ruth Ann McKale, assistant editor; and Jim DeHaven, business manager. Turley Tudor, advisor Sturgensian Staff RUTH RILEY, EDITOR The Sturgensian staff, with advisor Turley Tudor, met early in the year to set up a staff and start work on the new yearbook. Ruth Riley was editor, and Jim DeHaven, business manager. The other associate editors on the staff were Judy Childs with copy writers Joanne Yoder, Jim DeHaven, Sue Hunsberger, Judi Miller, Grover Young, Ruth Riley, and Ruth Ann McKale; Joanne Yoder, production manager; John Williamson, layouts; Gib LeRoque, sports; Kem Upham, art; Grover Young, headlines; Lissa Brebner, pictures, with assist¬ ants Jane Casner, Mary Brubaker, Pam Braham, and Louise Garnett; Karen Anderson, ads; and John Lichty, sales manager. The members of the ad staff who sold ads near the beginning of the year were: Mary Wash¬ ington, Eileen Tibbott, Priscilla Cashour, Karen Grosky, Bob Keim, Roger .Baker, Barb Firth, June Hawkins, Sue Hunsberger, Judi Miller, and Kathy Marshall. Typists were Elizabeth Foster, Janice Blood, and Sue Huns¬ berger. The yearbook staff planned the yearbook and hurried to meet its first deadline in November. Inexperience showed in some of the mistakes made, so—to prevent this next year—three juniors joined our staff. Mary Sheldon and Peg Felt worked with the production staff while Paul Roe learned something about the business end of the yearbook. The first deadline was met and, after some indecision, the cover was chosen. From there until the last deadline was met, things went quite smoothly, though it is hoped that next year’s staff won’t make the same mistakes that held this yearbook back. All in all, the 1962 Sturgensian staff is proud of its effort. Particularly commendable was the industry of those people who did jobs other than the ones assigned to them. The work of these people and others plus the patronage of local businessmen has made the 1962 Stur¬ gensian the book it is. 84 ■ SEATED, left to right: John Williamson, Grover Young, John Lichty.

Junior Classical League The Junior Classical League, in its second year at Sturgis High School, is a national and world-wide organization. All Latin II and III students belong, making approximately 90 members. The meetings, held during regular class periods, are presented by the students themselves. Activities this year have included reports on Roman cooking, the excavating of Pompeii, and listening to Spanish and Italian language records. Each class elected its own officers. In the spring the students eagerly prepared for the annual Latin Festival by making posters and Roman costumes. Latin Day brings out the Roman in us. 86 1 fflSSS 1 — gjjg im tSI y?mm 13! k rJJ MmHfMrJhT j v Ml JLmh arJBir 1 jkfl French Club This year the French Club is divided into First and Second year French.

Orators Gain Experience The debate team, coached by Mr. Johnson, was kept busy preparing for matches held on the issue Resolved that the federal government should equalize educational opportunities by means of grants to the state for public elementary and secondary education.” Extensive re¬ search and concentration on an effective ' presentation was necessary to support their theories. Success was measured by the Twin Valley Record of three wins, two losses, and three splits. The negative team had an over¬ all record of nine wins and six losses; the affirmative won six and lost nine. Members of this excellent debate team were: Barbette Firth, Coral Fry, Sue Cleveland, Rick Field, Dan Kellay, Bill Ayres, Tom Thomas, Candy Schoenherr, and Doug Meyers. There was also a large turnout for the annual foren¬ sics contest held in the spring. Twenty-four students en¬ tered in the five divisions: Interpretive Reading, Humor¬ ous, Original Oratory, Declamation, and Extemporane¬ ous Speaking. The winners from the local contest en¬ tered the district contest. The Happiest Millionaire,” a two act comedy by Kyle Crichton, was presented by the Junior class of 1961 on April 21 and 22. Under the direction of Mr. Larry Patterson and Mr. Hugh Tyler and along with Mr. Elmer Craig, the technical director, the play was a great success. The action of the play takes place between September 1916 and June 1917, in the Biddle home, 2104 Walnut Street, Philadelphia. The story is settled around Mr. Biddle, a millionaire, who likes alligators and boxing. Things get rather funny and complicated when Mr. Biddle discovers that his daughter is going to marry a little pip¬ squeak called Angier. However, Angier proves his worth to Mr. Biddle and all ends happily. “The Happiest Millionaire” CAST Emma ....... Elizabeth Foster Mary Brubaker John Lawless .... . . .

The play is a three act comedy written by James Thurber and Elliot Nugent. The story was centered around Tommy and Ellen Turner. Tommy wanted to read a controversial” letter by Vanzetti to his composition class. Joe Ferguson, Ellen’s old flame, came home and tried to steal Ellen. Tommy and Joe eventually end up in a fist fight. Tommy refused to deny that he will read the Vanzetti letter and decided to stand on his principles of freedom of ideas. Ellen then realized that he was a pretty good example of the male animal, and stood by him. The play proceeded smoothly under the direction of Mr. Larry Patterson and Mr. Hugh Tyler, faculty directors, and Mr. Elmer Craig, technical director. Due to their work and the work of the cast and numerous committees, the presentation was a great success and will long be remembered.

The highlight of the evening was the crowning of Queen Kem Upham by Steve Eckert, President of the Junior Class. Seated on her throne, the Queen was surrounded by her court of Jane Casner, Myrna Dou- gan, Toodie Finlay, Kay Forrest, Barbara Kronberg, and Pam Millett. Refreshments of cookies, candy, and punch were served throughout the evening on a tablecloth decorated with fish designs. hi 92 Homecoming The senior class, the Varsity Club, and the Cheer¬ leaders were co-sponsors this year of the seventh annual homecoming. The pre-game ceremonies were highlighted when Sturgis came through with a 26-18 victory over the Hillsdale Hornets. Kemlyn Upham, chosen by the senior class, reigned as queen of the evening. Jane Casner, Harriet Finlay, Kay Forrest, and Pam Millett served on her court. The girls rode onto the football field in three con¬ vertibles. Escorting the girls were: Brenn Arklie, Roger Baker, Bob Keim, Gilbert LeRoque, Jim Misner, and Grover Young. The cars came to a halt in front of the east stands as the band played A Prettty Girl Is Like A Melody.” Jim DeHaven, president of the senior class, crowned Kem with a tiara of pink roses and pre¬ sented her with a bouquet of red roses. After the game, Queen Kem and her court reigned at the Homecoming Dance. Bud Doty’s Orchestra pro¬ vided the music, and punch was served during the evening. 93 FIRST ROW: Rosemary Bradley, Alice Townsend, Joanne Tongiani, Jane Wagner, Judi Miller, Judy Childs, Sue Hunsburger, Connie Lahmeyer, Lo Esa Borkowski, Penny Pursel, and Mary Brubaker.

Dances were also sponsored by the club to finance its various projects throughout the year. Pep rallies demon¬ strated a united effort of all the students attending S.H.S. in the support of Trojan teams. The club advisors were Mr. Oom and Mr. Myers, mem¬ bers of the faculty at Sturgis High School. This year’s officers were Vernon VanWhy, president; Barb Crossman, vice-president; Pam Braham, secretary; Kem Upham, treasurer; Cindy Speicher, social chairman. Linda Hetzler, Sue Horning, Dorthy Littlefield, Thayma Darby, Pa m Millett, and Kay Forrest. Cheerleaders Show Fine Spirit Brilliant new uniforms, rousing new cheers, and two new varsity cheerleaders contributed to school spirit and the success of the cheerleaders. Under the supervision of Mrs. Cripe, the varsity cheerleaders ranked number five in a group of sixty squads at a clinic held at Western Michigan University. Their tumbling ability was proclaimed outstanding. The Cheerleaders sponsored their annual tennis court dance, pep rallies, snake dances, and buses for out of town football games. Officers for the year were Kay Forrest, captain; Thayma Darby, co-captain; and Pam Millett, secretary and treasurer. The varsity cheerleaders were Kay Forrest, Pam Millett, Thayma Darby, Sue Horning, Dorthy L ittlefield, and Linda Hetzler. Reserve cheerleaders were Barbara Gooden, captain; Becky Hudson, Mary McCarthy, Judy Cook, Martha Emch, and Julia Tongiani. 100 101 G.A.A. Boasts Huge Under the able supervision of Mrs. Cripe, GAA has seen another successful year. Promoting good sportsmanship and teamwork, GAA plays a large part in the development of its members. First on the list of activities was the annual Freshman initiation with a WKMI Record Hop on Oct. 7. A bake sale was also part of the initiation. The yearly Soc k Hop was held Feb. 10, and put all the girls hard at work creating new ideas for decorating socks. March 17 dated the traditional Sweetheart Swing which has always been an important social event at SHS. The year’s activities ended with a banquet where awards were presented.

Varsity Club The 1961-62 Varsity Club consisted of 40 members. Coach Pierce and Coach Maher acted as advisors. Officers of the club were elected as follows: President, Tom Werner; Vice-President, Joe Welty; Secretary-Treasurer, Dan Evert; Sergeant-at-Arms, Steve Pal¬ mer. During the summer, the organization’s activities included a car wash and the sponsor¬ ing of a dance. One of the biggest fund-raising activities was selling programs at each home football and basketball game. Members acted as hosts at basketball games, showing the reserve patrons to their seats. The club raffled off the football used in the Home¬ coming game, which was autographed by the members of the football squad. Funds from these activities will be used for the purchasing of new equipment for the new high school and for the club’s annual Chicago trip. 104 i Left to right, FRONT: Dave Hearld, Rob Addison, Dave Wegner, Rick Fisher, Bob Johnson, Tom Werner, Joe Welty, Mike Ash, Steve Palmer, Jim Gushwa.

The season was begun by crushing Bronson 40 to 0. We then lost a tough one to Albion, 6 to 0. We were within a few yards of the goal several times, but failed to cash in on any points. After being defeated by Battle Creek Central, the Trojans made a comeback with victories over Kalamazoo Central and Marshall. Three Rivers had a successful homecoming— beating us 20 to 0. The Trojans then returned and de¬ feated Hillsdale 26 to 18 at our own homecoming. The last game of the season was lost to Coldwater 18 to 7. The overall performance of the players is shown by the number of Trojans on the All-Conference team: Dave Hecht, defensive end, was placed on the All-Con¬ ference Defense team. Tom Werner was chosen All- Conference quarterback, and Mike Lukomski, a Junior, All-Conference offensive tackle. Mike Ash was olaced x as Conference halfback and Joe Welty Conference half¬ back. Welty led both the Trojans and the conference in scoring. Often outweighed, the varsity showed great deter¬ mination this year, particularly in the Kalamazoo Cen¬ tral game. Coach Pierce expects a slightly larger line next season. Sturgis placed fourth in the Twin Valley with a conference record of 2 wins and 3 losses.

Frosh Have Rough Time Reduced in power by the injuries of key personnel, the inexperienced Frosh squad completed its season with a single victory, five losses, and one tie record. Coach Dillon feels that this is a better team than their record indicates. The line has good size but lacks the speed which will develop as the players progress. Coach Dillon believes also that there are some fine members here who might develop into fine future football men.

STEVE ECKERT, Captain Varsity Wins Twin MANAGERS: Jim Bontrager and Gary DeVries Valley Championship The terms Sturgis Trojans and the ’6l-’62 Twin Val¬ ley Champions are synonymous. Yes, congratulations, team, for making this a season to be proud of. In con¬ ference play, the Varsity concluded with 9 wins and 1 loss. The squad opened the season with a demoralizing defeat by a high-rated Bronson club. At our next ap¬ pearance, we trounced Lakeview 51 to 38 for our first victory. Revitalized by this win, Coach Dillon’s squad sailed on, defeated only by Hillsdale for the remainder of the season. Of the eleven players, five will graduate: Captain Steve Eckert was the team’s leading scorer as well as Conference scoring champion. This was Steve’s fourth year on Varsity. He was on all-conference two years in a row. Steve Palmer, second year on Varsity, was one of the team’s fastest players. This tremendous speed coupled with ' determination made him a valuable man to have on the team. Ed Johnsonbaugh spent his second year on Varsity. Ed added more spirit to the team than any one player. He gave encouragement to each mem¬ ber. Coach Dillon described Ed as an excellent man to have on the squad.” Another graduating senior is Mike Ash. Mike, a forward, completed his second year on Varsity. Possessing a phenomenal jumping ability, he always came through in a pinch. Tom Werner played guard and forward during his second Varsity year. Tom was hampered by an injury in the early part of the season but came back to reveal some nice ballhandling and shooting ability. We had some mighty important sophomores and jun¬ iors on the squad too. Tom Gerow led the conference in rebounding. By next season, he should completely dominate the backboards. Keith Thomas, 1st Varsity, who showed talent at the backboards, possesses a great deal of potential and should develop into an outstanding ballhandler with a little experience. Wayne Keyser completed h is first year on Varsity as a guard. Wayne showed excellent shooting ability and proved to be a real hustler. Sophomore John Johnsonbaugh proved to be an asset in the rebounding field. John has a lot of natural talent and should be able to develop into an outstanding player in the coming years. Tom. Dillon, a sophomore, was second in the team’s scoring. Tom dis¬ played tremendous ballhandling ability and could al¬ ways be counted on in a tight situation. Forward Jim Royer, a junior, was usually one of the starting five. He was and should be a real threat to opposing teams. 114 STEVE PALMER 5’9”; 138 lb:; 12th.

Reserves Spark at Mid-Season The Reserve basketball squad pulled through the year with a 5 win, 5 loss conference record. They got off to a slow start, losing 6 of their first eight games. The club showed improvement towards the middle of the season, how¬ ever, and made a wonderful comeback taking five of the remaining seven.

Despite this fact, the season revealed some bright prospective ballhandlers. The seventh grade team had a somewhat more suc¬ cessful showing with 5 wins, 4 losses. Both teams were under the excellent guidance of Coach Bates. A new addition to the Sturgis High School basketball world this year was the formation of a Frosh squad. The freshmen, under the direction of Coach Bernie Oom, played a 14 game schedule with surrounding schools. They had a 5 win, 8 loss record.

This is the best showing by a Trojan wrestling squad since 1951, when a 6 win, 2 loss season was recorded. The team, consisting of 10 freshmen, 21 sophomores, 12 juniors, and only 4 seniors was a very young and aggressive one. The seniors on the team were, Roger Baker, Rick Fisher, Co-Captain, Vern Van Why, and Dave Wegner. There will be ten returning lettermen next year. Some outstanding performances were shown by: Charlie Gustafson with a 12-1-1, Mike Bordner with a 7-1, Bob Schoenherr with a 10-2, Vernon VanWhy with a 12-2, Marc Yunker with a 10-3 and Tom Hanna who came through with a 9-4.

Weight training has been scheduled at Sturgis High School for two years. Unlike the other athletic activities, weight training is carried on throughout the year. Those out for training range in age from seventh graders to seniors. The boys train for an hour after school three days out of the week. During the year as many as 110 boys take part in the training course. Due to this large turnout, Coach Bond found it necessary to em¬ ploy Larry Crites as an assistant. Weight training is quite different from other athletic activities. Coach Bond defined it as mind against iron.’’ This is a fitting definition; for in training the competition exists between an athlete’s fortitude and a hunk of iron. There is nothing spectacular about working out with weights, and it is very easy for a trainer to become bored with this activity. If one is able to stick to his guns” however, training can be very rewarding. It is valuable to those who are trying to keep in shape between the seasonal sports. Those who work out with weights prior to trying out for a sport usually make the team. Ninety-eight per cent of the trainers show a definite physical improvement. It is interesting to note that the scholastic records of those boys in training improve in many cases after they start training.

The purpose ' of this activity, which is under the excellent supervision of Mrs. Helen Cripe, is to develop flexibility and coordination. The 18 girls participating this year practiced for at least a half an hour each noon during the winter months. During that time they worked to per¬ fect variations of handstands, handsprings, headstands, single, double, and triple rolls, balances, pyramids, and many new stunts. The climax of almost three months’ work was a half-time performance at the Loy Norrix basket¬ ball game on March second. MRS.

Four Sturgis men were on the 1961 All Conference Team. These outstanding players were: Ron Kreps, pitcher; Mike Darby, infielder; Ted Lindman, outfielder; and Steve Eckert, infielder. This was Eckert’s second year on All Conference. An outstanding pitcher, Ron Kreps, achieved the praisable record of three victories and only one defeat.

This is more than any previous Trojan squad has completed. The squad established a praisable record due to the re¬ sults of these meets. Three school records were bettered by Bob Large, Doug Grabe, and Vic Willsey in the mile relay with a 3 : 29 . 2 ; Joe Welty, Doug Grabe, Jim Royer, and Mike Ash in the 440 yard dash in 46 seconds flat; Dave Hecht, Mike Ash, Doug Grabe, and Joe Welty in the sprint-relay medley with a 2:50.0. Mike Ash was the leading scorer with l62y 2 points. Hecht was second, piling up 67 I 2 points. Hecht also qualified for the State Meet but failed to place. The Team took part in the Mansfield Relays at Mansfield, Ohio, one of the largest meets in the country. The squad was unsuccessful in ob¬ taining points, however this is not too surprising since there were some 1400 participants. Sturgis placed 8 th in the Regionals at Kalamazoo, and came in 6 th at the Twin Valley. The Trojans also ended up 8 th at the Albion Relays and 5th at the Portage Relays. Coach Grant looks forward to an equally successful squad in ’62 since this team consisted of several sophomores and juniors.

State Champions! Yes, congratulations to the 1961 State Tennis Champions. Who? Why our Trojans of course. For the first time in the team’s history, the Tro¬ jans acquired the honorable title of State Champs. As for the Regionals in Kalamazoo—the outcome was the same—victory for S.H.S.! The Sturgis Netters finished second to East Lansing; however, in the Twin Valley Conference tournament at Adrian. One of the two de¬ feats of the team was lost to East Lansing also, with the narrow score of 2-1. Alan Kelly and Jim Howard were the Twin Valley doubles champions and State doubles champions. David Hearld resides as the Regional singles champion. The tennis squad lost five lettermen: Jim Howard, Alan Kelly, Harvey Jannotta, Dennis McCarthy, and Larry Patrick. The squad positions were as follows: first singles, Jim Howard; second singles, Alan Kelly; third singles, David Hearld; fourth singles, Alan Ayres; first doubles, Harve Jannotta and Tom Werner; second doubles; Denny Me Carthy and Larry Patrick; third doubles, Ron Kerscher and Richard Quinn. Kay Forrest and Lissa Brebner are two girls who have done well in Tennis. Together they were runners-up in the state doubles competition, and Kay was runner-up in the singles. They have also placed highly in other states. Perhaps the greatest honor was Kay’s being a member of the Junior Whiteman Cup Team for Southwestern Michigan last sum¬ mer. These girls have certainly been a credit to Sturgis. 127 Golfers Battle Links Very Successful” describes the Sturgis Trojan Golf team. The squad’s excellent record of nine wins, five losses and one tie, confirms this statement. The Trojan strokers finished third in the Twin Valley and qualified for the State Meet at Battle Creek, by placing second in the Regionals. Bob Johnston, Jim Boyden, Bob Schoen- herr, and Steve Palmer made up the four who usually started for the team. Johnston, who completed his third year with the team, finished second in Regional competi¬ tion with a 79. Bob Schoenherr returned for his second year as a member of the team. Coach Dillon is looking forward to another fine season since this squad consisted entirely of underclassmen who will return to try to du¬ plicate or better this season’s showing.

With this in mind, we wish to gratefully acknowledge the help of: Those teachers and the school secretaries who offered friendly advice and were un¬ derstanding when our school work was a little late. And our patrons who placed advertise¬ ments in our yearbook, thus making it pos¬ sible. Mr. Roy Niles, who, with Mrs. Niles, handled all our photography and printed all our pictures. Mr. Turley B. Tudor, who, as our friend and advisor, helped us over many crises and rough spots.” 176 The 1962 STURGENSIAN staff thanks you all for your cooperation and help. 4 h ■
