Thornapple Kellogg High School - Trojan Yearbook (Middleville, MI)

Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1963 volume:

As the days pass and we draw closer to the year's end, we scan once again the calendar of that wonderful year— 1963. September brought the opening day of school and with it the knowledge that we were SENIORS—there was no one higher than we--we had only ourselves to look up to. As we flip the pages of Octo- ber and November, we recall the football games on crisp, clear nights and especially the homecoming game with Gloria as queen. November was also salesmen's month--cards and maga- zines. December recalls the sweat and frenzy of basketball, the glamor of the Christmas dance. January and February envision lots of snow vaca- tion and numberless cases of the sniffles and flu, but basketball zoomed into March with the challenge of the Regionals. As the days passed inexorably, we learned and had fun working on the TRUMPET and TROJAN. We experienced Govern- ment Day, Career Night, and Lansing day. The last day of April saw sixty-two Seniors off to our nation's capital. Reverend Bates' suggestion of three basic philosophies we may choose from and Mr. Guy VanderJagt's inspiring address are part of our memories of May,— graduation month. Graduation means that we are about to enter the adult world—never again can we go back to the hurly, burly of high school. That wonderful year is tinged with sadness now as it fades into a melange of memories. Never again will we pass from class to class, cheer our teams on to victory, have those wonderful gab-fests--we are Seniors only once! staff co-editors ............marcia solomon judy raber sharon kotesky seniors................carolyn mesecar mary alice bender underclassmen.......... alyce raver joanne walton susan fox personnel.............. elaine misak carol maichele photography............terry finkbeiner john myers art....................pamela hinklin business managers . • robin barrons and deloris wamer organizations patrick norman literary ..............jenny Steiner judi park advertising............rogers gordon peter privert james verlinde athletics .............david leney paul van weelden typing.................elaine misak kathy sharp table of contents title page.................... 1 theme....................... 2-3 dedication.................... 4 personnel ..................5-12 seniors ...................13-24 underclassmen..............25-40 activities...............41 -84 advertising................85-96 mrs. palmer The 1963 Trojan Staff is proud to dedicate this yearbook to Mrs. Elizabeth Palmer. Mrs. Palmer owns a favorite spot in the hearts of the members of this staff not only because of her great service, but also because she has been our class adviser. She is an example of unselfish devotion to teaching and a teacher who has a constant interest in her students as individuals. Mrs. Palmer devotes much of her time to the production of the TRUMPET as well as the TROJAN, and truly deserves this recognition for a task well done. 4 SUPERINTENDENT EARL VANSICKLE--B.S., Western Michigan University; M.A. Uni- versity of Michigan.

Mrs. Neva Kenyon, who assisted in the Principal's office, borrowed the tele- phone while looking over the new ar- rangement. Mrs. Lucille McIntyre was the new assistant in the Bookstore and downstairs office. She kept the stu- dents happy with her pithy, humorous signs. Mrs. Mary Tolan replaced Mrs. Dora White as head librarian at TK. Mrs. Tolan manages the Thomapple-Kellogg School and Community Library, as well as buying and processing the books for all three libraries. We were sorry to lose Mr. Glenn Holtz, who, after a year and a half at TK, left teaching to sell band instruments. 11 The pause that refreshes--cooks Tillie Finkbeiner, manager, Sheila Arentz and Mrs. Warner checked out Marian Cook, Oretta Warner, Pearl Betts and Jessie Carter. the hundreds of students who went through the line every day. their job — a good meal, a clean school, and a safe ride Custodians Elmer Wheeler and Charlie Townsend Custodians Hazel Wheeler and Eltha Nichols, though were always helpful to faculty and students.

The Class of '63 was a livewire class whose mem- bers always had their hands and heads busy with a project. In their freshman year they put on a min- strel show which was such a success, the exchange assembly adopted the idea for its annual show. Then in their junior year, they broke all records for magazine sales. As Seniors they worked madly to make money for their extensive trip to Gettysburg, Washington, and Williamsburg. On the whole, the class had a good sense of humor that was evident in all they did. Moreover, they had their share of academic students with a fair representation of boys in the Top Ten. MRS.

After opening victories against Richland and Lake, our team fell in succession to Pennfield, Wayland, and Caledonia. The team rallied somewhat after these defeats and finished the season with a 3 win, 4 loss, and 1 tie record. We were privileged to have our fine quarterback George Featherly selected as All-Bar-Ken-All quarterback and Gary Thaler as All-Bar-Ken-All guard. We also placed three men on the second squad and one man on honorable mention. There is one thing that should be pointed out in favor of our team: we were unde- feated against Class C teams and held Gary Rugg, Pennfields's All- State fullback scoreless. All in all, we should be very proud of our gridiron heroes. THEY SCORE BOX WE 6 . . . . . Richland . . . 7 0 . . . . . . Lake Odessa. . . . . . 6 14 ... . . . Pennfield .... . . . 6 14 ... . . .

What was the Coach telling George? the junior varsity pleased too High in number, but low on experience, the Reserve team started their season. Their schedule was rough, but hopes were high as they tied for the League championship. They compiled a 4 won, 2 lost overall record, promising a bright future for football in our school.

Presenting the Homecoming Queen and her court: Freshman Peggy McKeown, Sophomore Linda Thaler, Queen Gloria Leigh, Senior Carolyn Mesecar, and Jun- ior Joan Williams. His counterpart, George Featherly, honors Senior Representative Carolyn Mesecar. This year the Pep Club put special effort into the Home- coming festivities, the theme being AUTUMN LEAVES. The half-time of the Middleville vs. Caledonia game provided an excellent time for the pre- sentation of the Homecoming Queen and her court. The award offered for the best decorated car which carried the girls was won by the Freshman class, although all the cars were beautiful. Middleville's losing the game did not dampen the spirit of the crowd for the dance. A throne in the center of the gym was the main attraction. It was a leaf-studded castle for the queen to seek refuge in when beguiled by eager dance offers. Music furnished by Bill Merchant of WGRD was the final ingredient of a night that added pleasant memories to THAT WONDERFUL YEAR. Paul Van Weelden blocks Caledonia!

Besides meeting with Principal Kitch during Monday noon hours, the club also planned to visit Central, Western, and Eastern Michigan Uni- versities. Whenever substitute teachers were not available, the club members were allowed to supervise classes.

The club was divided into two parts, as there were two classes. Early in the year both classes ordered their club pins. In March they began working toward their annual French Club banquet. Among their projects were a bake sale and a concession stand. On April 18 they held the banquet at Gull Harbor Inn Because the second year class finished their textbook early, they read a small French book, LE PETIT PRINCE (THE LITTLE PRINCE).

Rog Gordon and Pete Privert sold advertising, Pam Hinklin was art editor, Terry Finkbeiner took pictures, Jim Verlinde was the clever composer of Nosy Nostrillo, Jim Rozell was our competent sports writer, and Bob Miller, Peter Moore and Ted Weidman were reporters and editorial writers on the Trumpet staff. Getting out the TRUMPET and doing the TROJAN were two rather big orders for the Senior English class. This year they decided to try to put out a paper approximately every week, shorter but more up-to-date, and succeeded in producing 24 issues. Since the staff was a revolving one, everyone wrote an occasional article, though some people gradually fell into certain routine reportorial jobs. Sharon regularly did Know-Your- Seniors, Kathy, FFA-FHA; Judi and Susan, Latin and French Clubs; Jim Verlinde, Nosy Nostrillo; Jim Rozell, sports; Deloris, band; Marcia, annual; Judy, Pep Club and cheerleaders. The writing of editorials, miscellaneous items, and specials was generally divided among the rest of the class. Special thanks should go to Pat Wieringa and Jean Stager of Typing II for doing the stencils, Sally Stanton for distributing, Mr. Peterson for running off the stencils, and Mrs. Palmer for general management. we loved the trumpet JoAnne Walton, Susan Fox, and Alyce Raver, were editors of the underclassman section while Sharon Kotesky and Marcia Solomon were co-editors-in-chief. 60 Terry DuPont and Ed Streeter wrote for the paper, Paul Van Weelden and Dave Leney were athletic editors of the Trojan, Judi Park and Jenny Steiner were literary editors, and Deloris Warner, Pat Norman, and Robin Barrons were business managers. Robin and Dee also did the layouts of the organizations. Kathy Sharp (absent) was a typist. The TROJAN staff was composed of all but six members of the class. Beginning the year with an annual party the first week of school, distributing free yearbooks to merchants and soliciting new advertising, getting a new contract with American Yearbook Company, taking Senior pictures, then pictures of underclassman and clubs, working out the ladder diagram and the dummy for the allotted 96 pages, choosing a theme and a staff, doing layouts, taking pictures and more pictures, selling more ads, taking subscriptions, and meeting deadlines—these were the varied tasks of the annual staff. doing the trojan Judy Raber was the third co-editor, Elaine Misak and Carol Maichele were editors of the personnel section, and Mary Alice Bender and Carolyn Mesecar were editors of the Senior section. Elaine also did considerable typing. John Myers, a Junior, was an invaluable addition to the staff as a photographer. 61 TENTH ROW: J. Woodmansee, J. Curtis, G. Wheeler, J. Park, M. Chapman, M.

Rogers Gordon, Mary Hollister, Patrick Norman and JoAnne Walton were the Senior members of NHS who conducted the ceremony. Mary lighted the green candle as part of the introductory ritual. Robin Barrons and Marcia Solomon were among the five Seniors elected. We're sure Marcia was surprised.

Jana signed the roster as Mary witnessed—another ritual. Anne was a thrilled and deserving choice. A humorous note in a solemn ceremony--Gary was gleeful as he turned the pages of Mrs. Palmer's music. Betty doesn't relax with all the problems that island living brings, although Don is an understanding husband. Are the distractions drawing Don to seek the companionship of attractive widow Mrs. Leslie Arnold? Claud knows. onions in the stew is a senior hit in spite of the unco- operative weather Nieces Dotty and Joesy add 1 the gaiety or is it pandemon ium? . u. Often in the stew are Betty MacDonald, (Marcia Solomon), her husband Don (Jim Rozell), older daughter Anne (M. Hollister), and younger daughter Joan (M. Bender). We meet them moving into their new home on an isolated island. Howard (P. Privert) Anne's boy- friend from the city, is helping them unpack. Events begin happening immediately. Betty misplaces their meal, and their washing ma- chine floats away with the tide. They soon receive a visit from Claire Fessenden (C. Maichele), a neighbor, and Roger (J. Jerkatis), who becomes Anne's local steady. Next we find the MacDonalds in the midst of winter, snowed in with very little heat and with faulty plumbing. Betty engages a number of plumbers: Mrs. Watson's Harry (P. Norman), New Motor Marvin (R. Gordon), and Mr. and Mrs. Curtis (Ed Streeter and B. Kelly). Time flies. Spring brings new problems. Joan always sees the gloomy side of This ii things! Grovel Leslie Arnold (G. Leigh), a charming widow, and her pretty niece Margo (C. Mesecar) bring distraction to Don and Claude (Jim Verlinde), Joan's steady. The arrival of many guests while the family is trying to sell the house to welfare worker Miss Garvey (S. Kotesky) compounds the hilarious situation. Joan's friends Bee Gee (K. Sharp), Salsie (J. Raber), and Kitsie (J. Steiner), arrive for a slumber party expecting to invite boys. Distant relatives Lyda (A. Raver) and Jim (Tom Wieringa) come with daughters Dotty (M. Gray) and Joesy (Anne Lopez). Phil (R. Baker) and Delia (Sue Fox) Murray drop in on Don and Betty. To culminate the chaos, the plumbing is still faulty, bumblebees are in the eaves, and a friend of Don's is on the roof watching seals. In spite of harrassments, each member of the family discovers that the others really like island life, and they decide to stay. Anne forgets to be gloomy as her boy friend Roger, creates one more ridiculous situation A slumber party with guests Bee Gee, Salsie, and Kitsie adds to the mass confusion. Before the opening curtain, Gayle, Jean, and George were made up by Tena, Linda, and Mary Vicki concentrated on Gary, Carol (Linda Mugridge), Wilma (Sue Miller) and Adele (Pat Wieringa) are the three daughters of a community- minded widow, Mrs. Claire Sutton (Tena Frank), who are left to the care of their mother's private secretary. The 8th secretary is about to arrive and the girls plan to subject her to their commands as they have done with the other secretaries. But Henrietta (Barb Thompson) has other plans for them. The Suttons also have trouble keeping their maids. The first one, Maggie (Gayle Allison) quits just as Henrietta and her finance Ray Taylor (Rich Robertson) arrive. She tries to warn the new secretary of what's ahead, but Henrietta likes to find things out for herself. About the first time the Coke Set (Jean Stager, Janet Linderman, Joan Williams, Vicki Strumberger, Ellen Champan, and A1 Blain) headed by Ding (Bill Lewis) and Dong (John Newman) arrive, she begins to see part of the picture. henrietta the eighth Not on stage at the moment— Lizzie, Mary K., Ellen and Jean, members of the Coke Set. Henrietta the Eighth (Barb) kept her handsome finance, Ray Taylor (Rich), in the background most of the time. As the play opened, obstreperous Wilma (Sue) kept us wondering about her artistic talents. Courageous Linda stepped in at Anne, who played the last minute to play another Lizzie was the sec- spoiled daughter, Carol. Her ond maid to quit, boy friend was good-natured Baldy (Cary). The second maid Lizzy (Anne Griffeth) encounters all three of the girls' boy friends, Pizzy Lucus (Bob Hummell), Baggy Pants Baldwin (Gary Thaler), and Jimmy Howard (George Fiala). This is enough to send poor, nervous Lizzy on her way. As she puts it, They frighten me! But the third maid, Martha (Carolyn Dykstra) gets to meet Annabelle Mason (Millie Gronewold) whois trying to undermine Mrs. Sutton for a coveted position on the Parole Board of the Juvenile Court. She does this by trying to get Jimmy (George Fiala) to take Adele (Pat Wieringa) to the Rodeo Road house, the biggest dive in town. But Jimmy pulls through and reveals Annabelle for the disreputable person she is. At this time it is discovered that Henerietta Carver is really the famous novelist Henrietta Hall and and that she has just come to study the life of civic-minded woman such as Mrs. Sutton and to study what happened to the family of this person. It is shown clearly that the mother really doesn't know her girls. The story closes with Mrs. Sutton getting to know, at long last, her own three daughters. was the junior smash hit april 4 and 6 They were all import ant--cast and committees.

Mr. Guy VanderJagt spoke humorously on what graduation means to dad, the teachers, the student, etc. and inspiringly of the future. He stressed first expecting the unexpected or being equal to life's challenges and adventures. His second point was the importance of service, while for a third thought he developed the idea of making God first in one's life; one's neighbor second, and oneself third.

The museum will become a division of the Boyne City Railroad and will only assist in supervising restoration of railroad equipment by the Railroad. Is this 1925 or 1962? This photo was taken in May, 1962, on the Boyne City Railroad showing a 4-6-0 type steam locomotive on a tryout run between Boyne City and Boyne Falls, Michigan. The following day the Interstate Com merce Commission grounded any further use of this locomotive due to needed repairs. After a search for over six months, parts were found for the repairs to be made. This set us back over one year in our activities. DEAD MAN'S CUT Crash and boom of the thundering stack, Roar of the drivers' roll, Grind and growl of straining track, Crackle of blazing coal— They sing a song of the glowering signal lights That flash from green to red As we rip a path through the rain and the night While the white headlight beam streams ahead. It's a wild, sweet song they sing, And I slam my window shut As around a grinding curve we swing, For we're nearing Dead Man's Cut. Dead Man's Cut, where an engineer died, And a conductor and the fireman, too; For the whole dam hill came down in a slide And buried an engine crew. And their ghosts are out on a night like this When the sleet and the wind and the rain, Lash the steel with a screaming hiss And the rods clash a mad refrain. Dead Man's Cut! The mist rolls thick. Was that a flash of red? I fling my engine window open, quick And God! There's a rock slide ahead! Charles R.
