Q, i if it A 1 ' Q President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Mary Congdon Harold Roberts Barbara Fausnaugh Betty Kleinhuizen When we first started high school iOur class of '41 l We never fully realized School life had just begun. We started having lots of fun Right from the very start. Now you know why lots of us Didn't turn out to be smart! We had a great big class The first year in T. R. l-ligh And when the faculty looked at us All they could say was- My! We had l72 members When we were in grade eight But next year we'd grown smaller Could it possibly have been fate? Oh! the next year we were Sophomores We had l35 in our class But it wosn't because they had such fun That the rest forgot to pass! OUR CLASS OF '41 Then came our year as Juniors And again our class was smallerg But for some unknown reason The students weren't much taller! And now this year we're Seniors And we hope we all get outg Even though term is near an end There yet may be some doubt! So keep your fingers crossed my friends And hope all of us make it Because if we stayed another year The faculty couldn't take it. So to all of you teachers Who have helped us through the years We know that when our class leaves here You won't shed any tears. Now we wish that in each class We had paid more attention- And if ever again there's a class like ours You teachers deserve a pension! ge six r seniors ABSHIRE, BETTY JANE Bets COLLEGE-COMMERCIAL A kindly smile to all she lent.

The youth of America must keep bright the light of democracy which makes America the Promised Land to pilgrims from across the seas. Foreigners who come to our country to live may become citizens of the United States after they have lived here the required num- ber of years and filed the necessary papers. But this, called naturalization, is not true Americanization. The task of youth today is to help these aliens to become true Americans with a full understanding of what that term means. Co- operation and friendship are necessary. to help the foreign born become American citi- zens. These people expect a great deal of us who are born American, Also, they have much to teach us. Some of them have known what it is to have no liberty, to be ruled by a des- pot, to have none of the rights which we Americans take so for granted. They can teach us, even as we teach them, to appre- ciate and appropriate the privileges and re- sponsibilities of our citizenship. We, the youth of today, must fulfill their expectations. We need you, whose minds and hearts are tem- pered by experience, to lead us, We must ask Divine help in this task. Even as our colonial forefathers prayed for aid and wisdom from God in forming and guiding the destinies of a new-born nation, so we, the youth of today, must implore Divine wisdom and guidance in piloting the Ship of State through the perilous times of present history. lf we are faithful in this Stewardship, then may we truly say, together with our new citizens: l pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. -MARY ALICE DELONG I page fifteen salutatory I PAN-AMERICANlSM Remember Latin-America! The cry goes out and resounds throughout the land. What do you know about the social and economic problems of your neighbors? l-low important are they to you? The future of the Americas may be determined by these decisions. The Latin-American nations have not been grateful to us for assuming the obligation of defending the Western l-lemisphere. But this resentment is rapidly being overcome. The Buenos Aires Conference in l936, attended by our president, did much to remove the sting of the Monroe Doctrine. Our intentions were further clarified at the i938 Lima Con- ference and the Havana Conference of l94O. Since 1935 no American marine has been stationed in any Latin American Country. The Platt Amendment has been abrogated. Panama, Columbia, and Venezuela have been raised to the ambassadorial status. Our Pres- ident and Secretary of State have won many friends by their sincerity and good will. Mex- ico's oil rights have been recognized and serious thought has been given to establish- ing naval bases in South America. Pan-Americanism is the policy of all Amer- ican governments to cooperate for their com- mon welfare and common interests. lts de- velopment is due to the development of these common interests. Trade is of prime importance. Due to the present world crisis it is of grave importance that the Americas increase their trade rela- tions, Agricultural experts are working with the people of five American Republics in an effort for such expansion. Plans are being laid to improve methods of cultivation of cacao, abaca, kapok, coconut char, and hardwoods. We have been buying copper and nitrates from Chile. Bolivia tin is being pushed and Brazilian rubber is now under investigation. The United States now imports only a certain amount of coffee from any given country, thus raising the price of it for the Brazilians. ge sixteen Loans are being granted to tide over the various Latin-American countries in connec- tion with deficiencies from the war and do make up for the present loss of markets which has created surpluses in many of the Repub- lics. The steel industry in Brazil is being built up by this program, Thus far thirty million dollars has been expended for loans. The people of the Americas are learning more about each other every day. Teachers and students are being exchanged. Travel in the Americas is replacing travel in Europe. Groups of club women are touring the South- ern Republics and two symphony orchestras are playing in the more sophisticated capi- tals. l-lollywood is playing an active part. Some pictures already undertaken are The Life of Simon Bolivar, Blood and Sand, They Met in Argentina, Rurales. Several pic- tures in the near future are scheduled to be photographed either in whole or in part in Central and South America. The three-thousand mile Pan-American l-lighway from the American border, through Mexico and Central America to Panama is an excellent project for materially cementing continental solidarity. ln addition to this Wil- liam S. Poley, Columbia's Broadcasting Presi- dent, took a seven weeks' trip through the southern continent and came back with a sixty-four station network that will soon start functioning. Done on individual initiative, backed with enterprise capital, Mr. Poley's achievement is the most effective private move made thus far to implement national policy against anti-democratic penetration south of the Rio Grande. The ideals of Pan-Americanism are not wholly realized, but we are definitely on the way. Latin-America cannot be forgotten. lt must be remembered! -ULAFERN LARRANCE. reflector EDUCATION IN AMERICA We in America have a right to be proud of our system of education M proud of the fact that here educational opportunities are provided for all. It is a fine feeling to know that we are taught honestly and by compe- tent instructors the many things which will help us to successfully take our places in the world. We owe a debt of gratitude to our ances- tors, who, because they realized the impor- tance of education, made possible the com- pleteness of our present American public school system. The foundation of this system was laid by the Massachusetts School Act of l647, This act provided for an elementary school to be established for every fifty fam- ilies, a grammar school for every hundred families, and the public schools to be support- ed by public taxation. Two famous colleges founded early during the settlement of our country were l-larvard, in l636, and Wlllam and Mary College, in l693. Truly the East set a fine example in educational standards, and the example was followed by the rest of the country. School expenses, though always a problem, have not stood in our way to a great extent, School funds were established when money from the sale of public lands was set aside for school purposes, and in i836 Congress estab- lished a permanent fund by distributing a treasury surplus among certain states. t r h s. I94I pa salutatory II We cannot really appreciate our educa- tional opportunities until we see what other countries have provided in this line. ln England education for the common peo- ple has not made much headway because of the conservatism of the people and the dom- ination of the aristocracy. l-lowever, the im- portance of popular education is now being realized. Technical training in England is provided by teacher's training schools, tech- ical schools, and universities, The most famous universities are located at Oxford, Cambridge, l.ondon, Manchester, and Bir- mingharp. France saw the necessity of popular edu- cation after the French Revolution and a fair educational system was set up. Should France now be forced to accept complete rule by Germany, her education would not suffer, for the German system is one of the finest. The strict compulsory school attendance law, rigidly enforced in Germany, causes there to be fewer illiterates in that country than in any other country in the wofld. l-lowever, there is one big defect in the German system. Thinking is allowed only as long as it is in accord with the policies of the government. We may envy the high degree to which education in Germany has been developed, But I think we all appreciate the fact that we have what is lacking there-freedom to use our education as we please, to proceed as we please in our chosen work. -ELEANOR DELONG ge sevente class prophecy Hello Central! Give me I-2-3-O Brighton Road. Hurry!!! lt's very important. Is that you, Jane? Well-this is Beverly. When did I arrive home? Oh, I flew home this afternoon and am going to stay for the holi- days. But listen, the reason I called was to ask you if you had heard the latest about Jeanne Fosdick. You know-Jeanne, the nurse they have had such a time with down in Ohio. Well, guess what she did? She pushed the wrong button in the elevator and she and her patient, Paul Sloan, who was to be discharged today, have been stuck in it for several days Yes, and Maxine Lance is simply furious. This is the fourth time she has been all ready to get married and then been left waiting at the church. I guess the minister, Ernest Cap- ron, has almost given up all hope of ever re- ceiving his SI98. Can they get them out? Really I don't know, but they've got two of the most expert people on the case.. Who are they? Certainly you remember that talkative chap, Jack Hughey. They say he's a super sleuth at getting people out of trouble. His assistant, Betty Hagenbuch, works out all the details for him. Are they that way about each other? To tell the truth, I haven't heard, but they say he has a black eye, if that means anything. What!! No! Really, I can't imagine Charles Henke teaching ballet. Why did he decide to do that?? Oh, he broke his leg trying to teach Rodney Everhart to jitterbug!! Now isn't that the limit!! They say that crazy scientist, Dick Schoch, has blown up his laboratory again. Thatmust be about the fifth time he's done it. You'd think that he and his assistant, Jim Niccum, would find the proper compounds for his new super bomb pretty soon. The way the papers talk, that old maid's home out on Flutter Street must be doing all right. The head of it, Mary Congdon, certain- ly is setting some pace with the bachelors. I just heard that Joyce Harding and Donna Lucas have enrolled. Isn't that shocking!!! Did you know of the mysterious disappear- ance of Harold Roberts? All Hollywood was shocked over it. It seems that one morning all the hotel could find was a pair of shoes in a bathtub. Charles Withers, the detective on the case, says he has some clues as the plug has come up missing. Confidentially, I have inside information from the hotel manager, Bob Stowe, that with all of Mr. Roberts' night life he wasn't surprised. You know of that famous psychiatrist, Pa- tricia Baum, don't you? Well, she's just had a serious breakdown. They say that she finally ge eighteen just gave up trying to diagnose the strange case of Pauline Patterson. What was the matter with her? Don't you remember? She's the girl who giggled,and giggIed,and giggled. I see that eminent newspaper writer, Luther Warner, got quite a story for himself the other day. He interviewed Shannon Cox, that revolutionist, who was caught throwing bombs at Bob Springer's palatial residence in Detroit. It seems that the bank, of which Bob is pres- ident, wouldn't lend her any money for her latest political campaign. Isn't that too bad? Yes, Shannon always said that Bob was ter- ribly cold.

Wildcats again for the second time in three years, charged cleanly into the title of l940 champs of the Southwestern Michigan I-ligh School Athletic Conference, commonly known as the Big Seven Confer- ence. All in all, the Wildcats won this honor by their sensational playing and their do or die spirit throughout the season. Our local eleven held the fine record of 5 wins, 2 ties, and but one loss, and that to the Grand Haven's Class A School. The season got off to a good start when the Wildcats defeated Coldwater, l9-6, in our first home game, which was played under lights before a near capacity crowd. lt was in the first half of playing that Roberts brought the ball from Coldwater's l0 yard line down to the 4 yard line. Then, as if in recognition, Captain Ike Sloan toted the ball over for the initial touchdown of the game, making the score 6-0. Then behind some of Roberts' outstanding blocking, Coney made a first down, Sloan stepped in and picked up l5 yards, Roberts, not to be out- done, toted the pigskin 25 yards, for a sen- sational touchdown. Along with a completed pass from Coney, Sloan's 25 yard run did the trick. The game ended l9-6. Next the locals played Grand Haven's Class A School. This was our only loss throughout the season. The Wildcats threat- ened twice, the first when Sloan, Roberts and Coney carried the pigskin to Grand Haven's one foot line behind exceptionally good in- terference. At their strategic point, we lost the ball on downs. Grand Haven kicked out. Coney received the ball on the 25 yard line and carried it safely down the field to the Grand Haven 3 yard line. But it just wasn't in the Wildcat's power to score. The game ended with Three Rivers on the short end of an l8-0 Grand Haven victory. Still smarting from their Grand Haven de- feat, the Wildcats faced the Dowagiac Chiefs, in what proved to be one of the hard- est and cleanest games of the season fthis might have been because of the fact that I' r h s. 1941 pa the game was played on Dads day, and all of the team members' Pops were sitting on the bench yelling for all their worthl it was Coney who saved the day, when he snared a runaway Chief toting the ball toward our goal. He went down on our 20-yard line under Coney's powerful tackle. Hughes did his bit when he made a 40-yard dash for the double- line, after receiving a pass from Coney, but he just didn't quite make it. The gun ended the game in a scoreless tie, 0-0. Next came State High, which went down under the Wildcats' drive to a score of 6-0. The game started off with a bang as State High's kick was returned by Barger, to the 35-yard line. Sloan then picked up l5 yards for a first down. lt was in that play that Sloan, Roberts, and Coney, again showed some beautiful team-work. State High step- ge thirty thr varsity football lC0NT'Dl ped in and got the ball and began a razzle dazzle with an aerial attack, which was stop- ped short again, and it was our ball. With l-lenke and the linemen paving the way by their excellent interference, Sloan, Roberts and Coney again began to gain yardage along with the new Coney-to-Hughes aerial offense. At the beginning of the second quarter the ball was on State High's lS-yard line as Coney brought it down to the one-foot line and then plowed over for the only touchdown of the game. The rest of the game was play- ed on pretty even terms and ended Three Rivers 6, State High 0. South Haven then took on the Wildcats in what was probably the first game of the sea- son that showed the Wildcats playing as a team should. Captain lke Sloan made both touchdowns, behind some of the best team cooperation yet witnessed, McCally kicked both points and the game ended I4-0. Buchanan came and went next under the superior Wildcats' power. Outside of Mc- Cally's beautiful field goal, which netted Three Rivers an unstable 3-0 lead, there wasn't much action in the first half. How- ever, in the third quarter things began to pop. The Wildcats drove down the field to Buchan- an's l'5-yard line, Buchanan intercepted a pass from Coney- and then fumbled a bad center as our' locals downed the runner be- hind the goal for a safety, score 5-0. This seemed to give the Wildcats their cue with Dal Ponte, and Lane in the back field and a good steady ploughing line, the Cats ad- vanced. Coney ran a sensational 40-yard for the first touchdown and lvlcCally's boot was good, making the score 12-0. After Buchanan punted to safety, T. R. recovered a Buchanan fumble on the enemy's lS-yard line. Then came a number of small gains for our locals after which Sloan took the ball around end for the second touchdown, score l8-0. Bu- chanan then failed to gain yardage and punt- ed, Lane received and ran the ball to their l0-yard line where Dal Ponte toted the pig- skin for the third touchdown, score now 24-0. From then on the teams fought in Buchanan's territory with the Wildcats doing a great deal of fumbling. Sloan then stepped in and ran 22 yards for the fourth and last touchdown as the game ended with a score of 30-0, a Three Rivers victory. Our old rival, Sturgis, stepped up next, but to their great surprise they went down under a i4-0 Wildcat victory. This was the first time since i934 that Three Rivers defeated Sturgis. lt was Ike Sloan who stood out in this game by some of the most outstanding playing ever witnessed in a number of years. He made almost impossible blocks, did vicious tackling and really gained yardage. Coney made the first touchdown in the first half with Captain Ike Sloan running his inter- ference in a 80-yard gallop to the pay station for the second touchdown. Fats McCally's educated toe kicked both extra points. The gun ended the game, in a l4-0 victory for the Wildcats. The annual Armistice Day Niles game came next. This game was played under al- most impossible football weather in which both teams had to buck a vicious gale. lt was this gale that forced both teams to play a defensive struggle. Although the Wildcats would rather have defeated Niles for the Big Seven Title, we captured the honor anyway, by holding Niles to a scoreless tie 0-0 game. This game not only bid farewell to football for the rest of the season, but also bid fare- well forever to high school football for five of our Senior men, who will be taken away be- cause of graduation. So we say goodby to the wonderful playing of Capt. lke Sloan, Charles Henke, Richard McCally, Bob Thomp- son and Dick Lane. T. R.

This game proved to be the turning point of the year for Three Rivers, when Sturgis took us in a l9-l3 vic- tory, The scrubs were overly confident during this contest and spotted Sturgis l2 points in the first quarter, which proved fatal even to the Wildkittens. Curtis and Springer made the Three Rivers touchdowns, with Springer making the extra point.

The team, fired by the fine spirit of Captain Bob Thompson, earned this title after they won ll and lost but 2 games throughout the year. The first game of the season was played against Buchanan. Our locals took the lead in the first quarter of the contest and held it to the closing gun. lt was Barger and Martin who stood out in the game. The first stage was slow and ended at the half with our boys in the lead ll-7. It wasn't until the final quarter that the Wildcats began spurting ahead, with Barger, Thompson and Fitch doing most of the scoring. The game ended in a 23-l7 Three Rivers victory. For the following game we went to Niles. This proved to be a sad affair with Three Rivers coming out on the short end of a 4l-3l Niles victory. Kalamazoo's State High come over next, to face the Three Rivers team that was still snorting from a defeat -results-the Wildcats won 29-23. Our locals took an early 6-O lead over the Kazoos, but soon had it whittled down so at the close of the first quarter the score stood lO-5 in favor of the Wildcats. The visitors tied the score l3-l3 in the second quarter, but Martin, center, put the Cots ahead again l4-l3. Although State High trailed close through the rest of the game, still they trailed. The gun ended the game with Kazoo trailing 29-23. Our local quintet turned the trick on Sturgis this season and defeated them 3l-27 in a ball game played the Wildcat way. Although it was a gloomy first half, ending with Three Rivers trailing l5-9, the locals came back in the second stanza, after Coach Pellegrom put Nyle Miller in, and took the game with a walk. lt was perhaps one of the smoothest and fastest played games of the year. But we won, with Miller, Martin, Carroll, and Fitch showing up in high score. The game ended 3l-27 in favor of Three Rivers. The next game, a win against Dowagiac, was a thriller diIler with Three Rivers squeezing out the winning point in the last few minutes of play. We failed to play our best in the first part of the game, and the second and third Quarters found us either try- ing desperately to catch up or to break a tie score. It wasn't until the last few minutes of play that Three Rivers came from a 23-2l under-dog score to break into a 26-23 lead at the end of the third quarter. lt was soon 26-all again and then jumped to a 27-27 tie. Miller gave the Cats a field goal and then Dawson lengthened the lead with a field goal 30-28. But the Chiefs wouldn't admit defeat, and made a free throw in the last minute and a half of beautiful stall play by our locals. When the gun sounded, it was a Three Rivers victory, 30-29. Next, the Wildcats had little trouble in defeating Coldwater, with an ovenivhelming 40-28 score. ln the initial quarter of the game the visitors held a 9-7 lead, with our locals having a hard time getting situated. It wasn't until the start of the second quarter that our Cots began showing some of the old Wildcat sport and wrested the 9-7 lead from Coldwater by scoring l6 points in the second quarter. From then on it was Three Rivers' game all the way. The game was muffed with personal fouls, our locals had 24 alone. Martin, who starred in this meet, scored I2 points. Three Rivers went to Kalamazoo next, to play a re- turn match with State High. lt was in this contest that the Wildcats grabbed the undisputed lead in the Big 7 basketball race, by defeating State High in a close 32-3l game. Jefferies kept Three Rivers ahead or even with State High in the first half while Miller and Sloan did the plugging for the second half. lt was tall Nyle Miller who saved the game for Three Rivers, by his quick thinking. With the score 31-30 in favor of Kazoo, and only a few minutes of play left, Martin attempted a free throw, missed, and then Nyle Miller took the ball off the backboard and turned it into a field goal. Game ended 32-3l with Miller, Jefferies and Carroll standing out. South Haven came to Three Rivers next, to face the wildest bunch of Wildcats of the season. Even though Three Rivers started slowly and kept just out of paws reach of South Haven, the outcome never seemed doubt- ful. lt was Martin and Fitch who led our cagey cagers to a victory with Martin's l'5 points and Fitch's 8 points. Game ended Three Rivers 42, and South Haven 27. Our Cats went to Coldwater next, where they de- feated the Coldwater Quintet by a 33-24 score. Carroll and Miller were high point men, scoring 22 points be- ge thirty-six tween them. Dowagiac came over here for their return match, and although the game wasn't as close as the first meet, it was still close all the way. With Fitch the local high point man, we took another rung on the Big 7 ladder, with a narrow 28-25 Three Rivers win. Buchanan was Three Rivers host for the next game, and went down under our superior power. lt was an- other Three Rivers victory 35-3l. Jefferies and Fitch were high point men of the game. Bad news came next. ln a return match with South Haven at South Haven, the Wildcats came out on the short end of a 29-20 South Haven victory. Niles then came to Three Rivers. This was the game of all games. Three Rivers had to win this one to gain the Big 7 Title. Niles defeated us in the preliminary game by a lO point margin-could we take them this time??? Not only could we, but Coach Pellegrom's Three Rivers Cats did-by a 33-26 score. Carroll was high point man. Three Rivers High under the able coaching of Coach Pellegrom, now, for the first time, holds two Big 7 Con- ference Titles. Three Rivres then went to the District Regional Tour- nament at St. Joe, where we lost a heartbreaking 22-2l game to South Haven. This closed the most successful basketball season of our school. So let's all say congratulations to Coach Pellegrom, Captain Bob Thompson and all members of the basketball squad!! reflector i basketball reserves Our Wildcat Basketball Reserves, under Coach King's fine coaching, won eight out of fourteen games. About sixty-tive men turned out tor the second team at the beginning of the year. This was a record turn-out for the last few years, Ot these sixty-tive, twenty of them finished the season. Ot the contested games of the season, the first Sturgis meet was by tar the most ex- citing and thrilling game of the year, Lee Crego not only made it exciting and thrill- ing, but also made it a Three Rivers victory. With the Wildcats trailing on a 20-15 score and but a minute and tive seconds of play, Crego made two buckets, one after the other. This put the score at 20-19, Sturgis' favor. Then with but tour seconds left, the ball was passed to Crego, who took a spot shot. The ball arched up in the air straight as a string for the loop and went through just as the gun ended the 21-20 Three Rivers victory.

We also had three men who placed high in the State Meet. They were l-larold Roberts, fourth in low hurdles, Johnny Carroll, and Paul Sloan, both tied for 2nd place in the pole vault. The annual inter-class meet was held at the beginning of the season, in which the Juniors came out in front with the winning score of 4lV2 points, winning by the half- point. The Sophomores and Seniors tied for second place with 4l points each while the Freshmen trailed behind with BVZ points. Our first dual meet was held April l9, against Niles, on our own track. Niles held us at an even score all through the game till the points set at 48-48. 1 With broad jump, the last event, Roberts came through in first place, jumping l9 feet, Gb inches, and Coney was second. This ended the most closely matched tournaments of the season, with Three Rivers on the long end out- pointing Niles 55-49. Next came Buchanan who went down under our supreme power, with a final score of 59-45. ln this meet, Pursley held two first places, the hundred yard dash, and 220 yard dash.

The high-jump was a three-way tie between Bar- ger of Three Rivers and Geisler and Doll of Dowagiac. ln this event the field record, 5 feet, 8 inches, was tied. Next as a more or less practice meet the track team of i940 met the track stars of yesterday in the Alumni meet. The Alumni stars didn't quite show up to the stars of today, and were beaten 74-34. Gn May l0, our track team went to Niles to compete in the Southwestern Michigan l-ligh School Conference meet, ln this meet we lost our first tournament of the season. Out of the Seven Conference Teams we placed 3rd on 28V2 points. Niles won off with first place on 35 points. The next and last meet of the season were the Regional Meets held at Kalamazoo on May l8, in which we grabbed off second place with 34 9!l0 points, Kalamazoo being first with 38h points. l-lowever, it was at this meet that seven of our local track stars qualified for the State Meet at Lansing. They were Ike Sloan, Robbie Roberts, Claus Purs- ley, Jim Curtis, Squirt Barger, Johnny Car- roll, and Don Coney. Jack l-lughey, who won a good second in the 440, was also taken along. May 25 was big day for the fellows men- tioned above, as it was the day of the State Meet.

The nineteenth to be exact, that the faculty of the Three Rivers schools presented their an- nual play, this one entitled Kind Lady, and under the direction of Miss Lillian Comar. lt was an unusual type of play. The setting was in the city of London, in the home of the Kind Lady, superbly played by Miss Kath- eryn Mardis. The clever crooks that nearly overcame the kind lady were splendidly por- trayed by Mr, Cecil DeLong and Mr. Edmund Blank. I The comedy of the play was capably han- dled by Mr. Donald King as the American bond salesman with his slang expressions and Mr. Blank with his tall stories. Outstanding in the play was Ada, the half- witted wife of one of the crooks. This part was magnificently played by Miss Elizabeth l-lalderman. The remaining characters of the cast, included Miss Jean Ellerby, Miss Gert- rude Brisbane, Mr. l-loward Dickie, Miss Elea- nor l-lansen, Miss Anna Luck, Mr. Grafton Thomas, and Miss Doris Kinsbury, all added to make the play such a successful perform- ance. The efficiency of the stage crew, headed by Mr-. l-larold Voorhees, helped make possible the smoothness with which the play was presented. page forty-two reflector senior PIGY 1 A three-act comedy, directed by Cecil D. DeLong and portrayed by a well-chosen cast, was presented in the l-l. S. Auditorium, Jan- uary 15, by 21 members of the Senior Class. The interest centered about the Wentworth family with Rodney Everhart in the title role, Problem Father , Betty Clayton, a level- headed young matron as his wife, Beverly Reed, his bright little daughter, and Ernest Capron, his good looking son. Father was determined that man should relax, return to his original posture for the sake af health, and it's this all fours busi- ness that upset the family. All these ex- periments that Mr. Wentworth tries are what makes him a truly Problem Father. l-le went all the way from making his family live on nuts ilike a squirrell to the wearing of Greek togas-and last it was the natural Pl pos- ture of manl Maxine Norton played the port of the sharp-witted mother-in-law, and the last of the household, but by no means the least, was the maid, Betty Kleinhuizen, with her nervous honking while she talked, her ludi- crous appearance, and everlasting threats of leaving. After hearing rumors about Mr. Went- worth's craziness, a trio of gum-chewing high school friends of the young daughter call to look over the situation, These girls, Mary Congdon, Joyce l-larding and Maxine Lance, helped considerably in turning this laugh- provoking comedy into such a howling success. One scene, the meeting of the Ladies' Sun- shine Club, Alton Rader, the learned doctor, was a guest speaker. lt was here that Beryl Thompson as Mrs. Powers starred as an et- fusive clubwoman. Johnny Powers, her son, was well portrayed by Chuck Withers, who plaed the part of Beverly's boy friend. The other club members werei Eleanor Spadafore, Dorothy Barrows, Ellen Weberg, Jayne Ander- sn, Betty l-logenbuch, Clara Polas, and Leola Eicholtz. Finally things were beyond endurance for the children, so they took the matter into their own hands and wired for their uncle, Dean Luther, to come and take the kinks out of fother. Along with the confusion of the uncle's ar- rival, Robert Stowe, a newspaper and book publisher, became sold on the relaxed pos- ture idea and called Mr. Wentworth and made him a most gratifying offer for his theories-to the amazement of the uncle. As a result, Dean, Robert, and Rodney were all seriously walking about on all fours-each with a different technique, when the family entered-from then on as the members went down on all fours, and the house was in gales ot laughter, but no one missed the last honk- honk of the maid as she pulled out on her own two feetl Penny Pringle Mark Pringle .

As usual the Band made everyone proud of them at the football and basketball games, adding much with snappy maneuvers and marches. But many other big events took place for this musical outfit this year. For the first time, boys from the bond entered solo and ensemble contests, Edward Linsley, Clyde Gotschall, George Jackson, Ernest Cap- ron, Henry l-lall, Jerry Baum, Robert Dott, and James l-lelmbrecht entered the district contest at Kalamazoo. The cornet trio and bass quartet also entered. All the soloists lwith the exception of Robert Dott and James . 1941 pa l-lelmbrechtJ went to the state contest at East Lansing. David Rea also went, and won a first division rating, making him eligible for the National Region lll contest at Flint, at which he was also given a high rating. The annual concert was one of the finest ever given by the band, and the seventy-five mem- bers of the Senior band and the thirty mem- bers of the Junior Band really did themselves proud. Nine boys, James Niccum, Richard Lutz, Boyd Graham, George Jackson, Ernest Copron, Marlon Gotschall, Robert Dott, Stan- ley Miller, and Wayne St. John attended the Niles band clinic, under the direction of Wil- liam D, Revelli, of the University of Michigan. Three Rivers was honored by having more first chair players in the clinic band than any other participating high school. They were: Stanley Miller, Wayne St. John, and George Jackson, The band entered the Dis- trict festival for the second year, and received a second division rating again, although they have shown much improvement over last year.

The HI-Y motto is: To'create, maintain and extend throughout the school and com- munity high standards of Christion charac- ter. The platform is: Clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship, and clean living. Meetings are held each Thursday in the homes of the boys, where they discuss the important topics of the evening. Once each month a special meeting is held at which the members hear a speaker. The HI-Y, besides helping the school, also helps other clubs of the city, On Christmas they helped the Goodfellows distribute food to the needy of the city. Other activities ore: Helping the Girl Reserves put on a joint dis- cussion, a father and son banquet in the spring, and school dances in the fall and spring. The club sent two representatives, Bob Thompson and Jack Hughey, to the state Hl-Y camp at Torch Lake, and sent five boys to the Older Boys' Conference at Muskegon this year.

This club was first started in the year 1929 when a group of girls decided to have a club for girls which would run parallel with that of the l-li-Y Club for boys, and for want of a name it became bet- ter known as the X.Y.Z. Club, having a total of fifteen members. Later the club chose the name of The Blue Triangle. The present name, Girl Reserves was adopted in 1930. The Girl Reserve Club is one of the largest, as well as one of the most active in school at the present time. The membership totals 45. The G. R. uniform is a blue skirt, a white blouse, and a blue neckerchief with the Girl Reserve emblem in the corner. That is where the name Blue Triangle first origi- nated. Each year two girls are selected to go to a camp, and this year the girls winning the honor were Betty Abshire and Dorothy Bar- rows. Two conferences were held this year, the first one during a week-end in the fall at Camp Chief Noonday located between Has- tings and Battle Creek, Mich. The girls repre- senting Three Rivers were: Betty Abshire, Joyce Bitner, Mary Congdon, Beverly Reed, Joyce l-larding, Jeanne Fosdick, and Doris Willemin. The second Conference was held at Flint, Michigan. Two delegates were chosen, Carol Bromley and Ruth Orr. The girls meet every Tuesday evening in the Social Room of the school-the meeting is opened by the club repeating the Lord's Prayer and the Girl Reserve Code, which fol- lows: As a Girl Reserve I will try to be: Gracious in manner lmpartial in judgment Ready for service Loyal to friends Reaching towards the best Ernest in purpose Seeing the beautiful Eager for knowledge Reverent to God Victorious over self Ever dependable Sincere at all times l will do my best to honor God, my Country, and my Community, to help other girls, and to be in all ways a loyal true member of the Girl Reserves. The club also entertains other Girl Reserve Clubs, has joint meetings with the l-li-Y Club, sponsors an all-school party, helps with wel- fare work, and the latter part of the school term they have what is called the Girl Re- serve Spring Formal, a dance which is held annually at the Country Club. The officers for this year were: President ................. Betty Abshire Vice-President . . . .... Eleanor Spadafore Secretary ...... ...... D oris Willemin Treasurer .... . . .

This club isn't all culinary, though, even if one would form such an opinion if they had visitors at one of the Varsity-Feeds, and when I say these fellows can really put food away and clean up a table, l don't mean when the meal is over! lt seems as though these fellows were always trying to out-eat the others, and believe me, we sure have some super champion eaters here, too. At one of these feeds is where the boys forget their manners and have one swell time among one bunch of swell fellows. They have a lot of high ideas, too, and by their living up to them they have resulted in having their club one of the most active in school. The motto of the club is To Raise and Preserve the l-ligh Standards of T. R. The membership qualifications are more strict than those of any other club, too.

Some of the most outstanding activities of the club this year was the sponsoring of the Dad's Day Football Banquet , helped new students get acquainted with the building when school began in September, and they usher and sell candy at basketball games in order to make money for those potluck sup- pers and their big spring picnic. The advisors of this club are Mr, Francis Pellegrom, Mrs Donald King, Mr. Grafton Thomas, and Mr. Lawrence Fleming - and with such men as advisors, how could these fellows help but be tops?

Miss Betty l-lanifen What a clubl What a group of girlsl Speaking of sportsters they're really it. The purpose of the club is to create an interest in sports among girls and promote self- participation. A wide variety of seasonal sports is rec- ognized in the hope that any girl with the faintest interest in athletics may find one ac- tivity to her liking. The girls engage in back- gammon, ping pong, baseball, volley ball, basketball, soccer, track, and many others. The members take part in sports not only because they enjoy it, but it also gives them an opportunity to earn awards through par- ticipation in activities which are not super- vised in school. t r h s. 1941 D0 The point system is used for earning a re ward in sports, and the points are accumula- ted from year to year. lt takes 500 points for a monogram, l,000 for a T. R., and i500 for a numeral. 2000 points get a T. R. with G. S. on it, 2500 get a T. R. with G. S. and a star on it. This year the club sponsored a party for the Varsity boys, and gave an all-school party on April 4. They also enjoy skating, bicycling, and swimming parties. At the close of the year, the entire organ- ization had a big banquet at which awards were presented to the girls, and the officers for the coming year were chosen. ge fifty thr manual arts This club is one of the most helpful as well Each year the club takes a trip to some as one of the oldest organizations in T, R. large, important and interesting manufac- l-ligh.

The choosing of this name was done by spon- soring a naming contest, and of the several names suggested, that of the Betty Lamp Club was selected, Martha Luther receiving the reward, a prize of one dollar. The club now has twenty-five members. The main features of the year have been the annual trip to either Chicago or Detroit, a May Morning Breakfast, entertaining other Home Ec, Clubs, the Fall Convention held in Detroit, and welfare work.

This musical sect, composed entirely of girls, is an integral cornerstone ot school ac- tivities in that it is one of the tevv clubs in our school which has an exclusive feminine membership. During the year they have sponsored an initiation, a Christmas Cantata, a post-game ge fiff y4six dance, appeared in our special assembly pro- grams, and have gone to Kalamazoo tor the May Festival. f , . The club now consists ot 4l members, and in spite ot the fact that several of the present members will leave school due to graduation, it promises to be a capable organization next year. For the capable directing of Miss White, the club wishes to thank her in appreciation for her making the club such a wonderful organization. reflector f.f.a.

Glenn Fetterhoff Monthly meetings were held, and this or- ganization has proved itself to be one of the most active in school. The Future Farmers of America is a national organization and was founded in l9l7 under the National Voca- tional Education Act, and hos been in our school since l929. This organization studies modern agricul- ture and new methods in this field, thus keep- ing abreast with the latest developments. Through their activity they have stimulated among the agricultural students an interest in their work which has also extended throughout the entire school. ln order to be- come a member of this club it is necessary to be enrolled in the Agricultural course, or taking related subjects. The present member- ship totals fifteen. This organization has several interesting activities, but being so numerous only the most outstanding will be stated here. The club president, Vernon Castle, was sent to the National FFA Convention at Kan- sas City this year, but the club as a whole at- tends the Livestock Show and enters the judging contest at Lansing. The senior mem- bers take a two week fishing trip in the Upper Peninsula every year. The growth and success of the club is largely due to the work of their advisor, Mr. Lillie, and he deserves great commendation for his efforts. trl1s.l94l a p ge fifty sev 7 TT f chronology MAY 6-Joan Payne, one of our dignified Seniors with the title of Miss Three Rivers, was chosen Blossom Queen of Michigan last night.
