Foreword It is with pride that we edit The Crystal of '31 for those who are interested in the actirities of our High School. It is pub- lished with the intention that every one shall be represented. We hope that in the years to come the school will carry on this custom and publish The Crystal as we have followed the custom established by our predecessors four years ago.

From shore to shore we'll hear thy name, And we will hear thy call To help our boys to win this game, Rah! Rah! Rah! Sing a praise to thee, Oh Whitehall! The school that is so good and true, We'll aid thee on to victory, one and all, Oh, Whitehall, we will cheer for you! Z Class Poem Life is like a mighty ocean Upon which we drift away, We, like ships, are launched, not anchored, Rolling on from day to day. Maybe wrecked, and oft forgotten, Badly worn with life's hard knocks, Cast away from all its moorings, Maybe dashed upon the rocks. If you recognize a brother Pulling hard against the tide, Try to cheer him in his struggle In life's ocean, rough and wide. The wind may not be in his favor, 'Though your fortune brings success, And luck forgets about his labor, Help him! He will not protest. Don't think only of your sorrow When the clouds are overcast, Brighter days may come to-morrow And the tide will turn at last.

One thing is essential for the success of our school and that is a close relationship between school, home, and community. It is through the cooperation of parents, teachers, School Board, and pupils that we are able to make a success of our high school activities. These men have done their utmost to furnish a high type of instruction for Whitehall High School. To the Board of Education the students of Whitehall High School owe their sin- cerest thanks.

There has been more progress made during the last hundred years than there was from the days of Caesar to the beginning of the nineteenth century. There has been a complete transformation in every phase of life within the span of a single generation. The whole life of the human family has been transformed as much as the change from the oxcart to the express train and airplane. Young people who are starting the struggle of life now should realize that they are missing most of the real drudgery that characterized all ages prior to this one. American inventive genius has entered every field of human endeavor and has lightened the load in nearly every walk of life. Human hands and minds direct machinery and the forces supplied by nature furnish the power that drives it. Up to the beginning of the nineteenth century supersitition had such a strong hold on the human mind that inventions were almost synonymous with the black arts, and the struggling genius had not only to contend with the natural laws and the expected diliiculties that hedge the path of an inventor, but had also to over- come the far greater obstacles of ignorant fear and bigoted prejudice. When we consider these facts we cannot help but feel the great amount of progress that has been made in this short time. A labor-saving machine was looked upon askance as the enemy of the working man, and many an earnest inventor, after years of arduous thought and painstaking labor, saw his cherished model broken and his hopes for- ever blasted by the antagonism of his fellow-men. But with the twentieth century a new era dawned. The legitimate results of inventions have been realized in larger incomes, shorter hours of labor, and lives so much richer in health, comfort, happi- ness, and usefulness, that today the world delights in honoring such men as Thomas Edison, pioneer master electrician of the world. Our forefathers traveled into the western wilds on crooked trails cut through the forests, with all their possessions on oxcarts which moved a few miles a day. Today the United States air mail goes over the same territory on a regular schedule of more than a hundred miles an hour. A trip to Europe in the past meant several months of danger and distress. Today a passenger air ship sails around the world with relative safety. Two generations ago nearly every home was a miniature factory where cloth was woven and all the family garments were made. Rest or recreation were seldom thought of, for it required constant effort to keep the wolf from the door. Now steam driven machinery does the work of hundreds of hands while two-thirds of the day is spent in rest and pleasure. We have changed from the little red school house to the splendid educational institutions that we find in every city, village and country community. Every school has books prepared at great expense by the great educators of the world. So, my friends, we are glad that we begin our active careers in the light of the twentieth century. Young people with the proper training are forging ahead in every field of human endeavor. W'e expect to go out from this school and play honorable parts in whatever field we enter, realizing that we have come upon the scene at the most opportune time in the history of the world. Dorothea Erickson Page Fourteen I I l Whitehall High School T H E C R Y S T A L Nineteen Thirty-one Salu+a'I'ory FRIENDS: We, the class of 1931, are very happy to have you with us tonight, your pres- ence being necessary to make this a successful occasion. To you this is just another commencement program and has little significance, but to us it is an important event. For thirteen long years you, our teachers and parents, have cooperated success- fully to bring about this, one of our largest moments. It is you who have taught us the importance of an alert mind, a healthy body and a perfect attendance and we want to take this, our last opportunity to show our appreciation as a class. We are very sad as well as very happy tonight. We are happy because we have just com- pleted our flrst great task in life, and sad because this is our last gathering together as a class. This night marks the beginning of a new life for us. This is the springtime of our lives and we are like seeds which have been care- fully nurtured, trained and cared for by our parents and teachers, the gardeners. Now, in the springtime, we are ready to be transplanted into a big garden, the world. Great botanists, when they find a rare plant, shake all of the natural soil from its roots and transplant it in a foreign ground. T hey are then put to a test to see if they will thrive or die. We, too, are going to have everything changed for us. We are no longer going to have the help that we have been used to and we must learn to adapt ourselves to the change. So we, as well as these rare plants, are also put to that test. The question is XVill we survive? Equipped as we are with this wonderful start we are going out there and make of ourselves something you will be proud of. Until now we have had no real grave responsibilities to shoulder, but from now on, everything will be changed. Classmates, until now, we have not known the desolation in saying good-bye forever as a class. We have always assembled the next day to exchange some greet- ing or word of cheer. Tonight we are parting to meet as classmates no more. We must realize that we must work hard and be as successful in all our undertakings as we have been in getting the first part of our education. It will be hard, I know, but do not despair- as our motto says, we are 'launched but not anchored - so do not despair because we are only starting out. Let me quote the motto Dr. Collier gave us: Despair makes a despicable figure, and descends from a mean original. 'Tis the offspring of Fear, of Laziness, and Impatienceg it argues a defect of spirit and resolution, and oftimes of honesty too. Do not DESPAIR, even if you think you see your misfortune recorded in the Book of Fate, signed and sealed by Neces- sity. If we remember this and keep on trying we will surely succeed. Virginia Ralph Page Fifteen lVhilehall High School T H E C R Y S T A L Niueleen Thirty-one Class Prophecy In accordance with an old established custom of Whitehall High School, the class of 1931 wish to have its prophecy in the Crystal. I was willing but unlearned in fortelling the future and found it a difficult task until I espied some Gypsies at a tourist camp on U. S. 31, while returning home from school one day. These Gypsies migrate to northern haunts each year and I decided that they were just the ones to give me aid. I called at the camp and asked to see the fortune teller. I was shown to a small tent, where I found a Gypsy woman seated at a table playing solitaire, as I thought, but she was really studying the mysteries of the future. After I had crossed her palm with silver, I told her of the task which had been assigned to me. I gave her the list of my classmates and this in brief is what she said would happen to them in the next ten years: Hilda Mord will marry a widely known Eye, Ear, Nose, and Throat Specialist of New York City, after she had finished her nurse's training course. The Gypsy further prophecied that Dorothea Erickson would become Editor of one of the best periodicals ut she could not make it clear whether it was the At- lantic Monthly, Harper's XWeekly, or the Iconoclast. Arnold Bloomquist will study several years in various colleges and will be the man to convince the United States that they should join the League of Nations and also he is to be appointed United States Representative to the League. Mildred Webber is to be assistant secretary for the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Marvin Folkert. Here she began to have a difficult time in seeing the next one clearly. She spoke of the noise and din, and finally said that it was a drum. Then she said it was a young man drumming for a band, the National W. C. T. U. Band. Everett Allen had gained the height of his ambition. It was only after the king of spades had pressed forward for recognition that she disclosed the future of Russell Carignan whom she described as a tall, dignified man with a black mustache, goatee, and hair rampant. She said that he would be the head of the English department at Harvard University, having gained renown through his famous Ode To Holly. After shuffling the cards several times, another boy came forth for recognition. Ivan Houseman was to be catcher for one of the big league teams, but it was not just clear whether he would play for the Cubs or the Cardinals. He always wanted to make the Whitehall Tigers but he will have to get better than he is before that will happen. She further disclosed that Eugene Hughes will go to his fatherland, Ireland, and act as salesman for the Ford Motor Company of England. He will specialize in selling trucks to be used in hauling Irish potatoes. She also spoke of his freckles. The jack of Hearts, oh yes, Gordon Wight will be in California in partnershgp with Ziegfeld. His talent was discovered while playing a mouth-organ solo over WL . The United States Ambassador to Russia in ten years will be William Rager. He can speak Russian as fast and as well as he can speak English. Virginia Rolph will be a teacher of American Government in the Philippine Is- lands. She will not be married as yet but will have adopted a parrot and a cat. Lucile Pray has become the outstanding evangelist of the twentieth century. Little but mighty-that's Lucile-and the Pray missionary work is heard and read at the four corners of the earth. The name alone is enough to signify the ritious of her belief. The Horrisberger Mule and Donkey Ranch is located in the western part of Wyoming and to be sure it is the only one of its kind. They are doing a profitable business. It was here Some Where In Old XYfyoming originated. Marian jackson will be the head of the Nurses' Dental School located in the southern part of Whitehall, Michigan. I, Mae Berglund, she said, would take a nurses' course and would take care of a rich old lady. I was to become heir to her estate at her death. Page Sixteen -HQ, rf Whitehall High School T H E C R Y S T A L Nineteen Thirty-one Class Will The Senior Class of Whitehall High School being of sound mind and memory, and considering the uncertainty of this frail and transitory life, does therefore make, ordain, publish and declare this to be its last will and testament.

The Junior Class ITH a good intellectual, athletic, and social year just passed, the Class of 1932 has focused its attention on next fall when it will enroll for the last time in Whitehall High School. As prospective Seniors we are looking forward to the contributions we hope to make to school life as well as the attendant enjoyments and honors of a graduating class. We are happy that during the past year our class was ably represented in all extra-curricu- lar activities. Bertha King, Ann Brightwell, and Vera Havlik represented our class on school athletic teams in baseball, basketball, and track, Cornfield, Fechner, Funnell, Dahlstrom, W. Brightwell, and Mickelson were football regulars during the season last fall, and the same boys and Arthur Bloomquist were worthy members of the School and Reserve Basketball teams. ln forensics, Betty Blank, William Fechner ,and Richard Cogswell were letter winners. To the school band our contribution consisted of two saxophones, one sousaphone, two drums, three clarinets, two trombones, two mellophones, and two trumpets. Outstanding among the social events were the junior Card Party given on May 27 in the gymnasium and the junior-Senior Banquet at Murray's Inn on May 29. The former event at- tracted a large crowd of bridge, five hundred, and bunco players. The annual junior-Senior banquet was the crowning event of the year. Murray's Inn proved a splendid place for this event and a Muskegon orchestra enlivened the occasion. Following a long established precedent alumni and under classmen were invited to the dance following the dinner. Everyone declared the event a social event of pleasant memory. This year's class officers included: President ---- - Vera Havlik Vice President - Edward Dahlstrom Secretary ---- ---- B ertha King Treasurer ---- - - - Ann Brightwell Delegates lo Student Council Helen Langer and Robert Kassner Class Advisor - - - ---- Mrs. Dodge nnmn1yi1li111ll1H1wnw.nn...l,.l.n.

The Sophomore Class WO years ago when we entered High School we were a terrified bunch of little Freshmen. Although we were many and there is strength in numbers, we spent most of our time worrying about the dreaded initiation which was supposed to be given by our upper classmen. But as the days passed, however, we found that our fears were groundless as no initiation took place. In the natural course of events we Hnally outgrew the insignilicant title of Freshmen and inherited the momentous title of Sophomores. Soon after school began, we called a class meeting and elected the following officers: President --------- Kathleen Walter Vife President - - - - Ogden Huston Secretary and Treasurer ------ Lorraine Ahlstedt Delegates for Student Council - - Holly Fechner and Rex Funnell This year three new classmates have been added to our number: Robert Stauch, Marie Om- ness, and Virginia Swenson. Our class was well represented in both boys' and girls' athletics this year, having Raymond and Rex Funnell, Robert Stauch, Carl Cordell, Elliott Gibbs, Walter Houpt, Lawrence Pelon, Henry Loehr, Holly Fechner, Ruth Perkins, Arlyne Schneider, Jeanette Funnell, Virginia Swen- son, Marie Omness, Alice De XVitt, and Kathleen Walter on the different teams. Julia Austin was our representative on the debate squad. We feel that we have a right to be proud of all the members of our class who took part in these activities. Mr. Wolfe has been our class advisor and has helped us make our Sophomore year a suc- cessful one. We are now looking forward to entering Whitehall High School next year as juniors. . ,,,,,.,,,,.,.,,.........,,.,.,,,,.,,,..,,,,.,...,,.........,...

The Freshman Class UST as the year 1928 will go down in history as the year that Lindberg sent the message, We landed safely, the year 1930 will be a memorable one to the members of the Class of '34, because it marked the beginning of our flight toward higher education. We chose joyce Berglund as our leader this year, Paul Simonson for her assistant, Amy jean Holmblade to keep the records for this class, and Kenneth Connell as watch dog of the treasury. We also chose Martha Houpt and Charles Schecter to represent us in the Student Council. Under the leadership of these officers and with the aid of Mr. Folkert, our class advisor. we've tackled all our work with such zest that our superiors have expressed surprise. With just as much enthusiasm we have entered High School activities. Thirteen of our number have merrily made music in the Glee Clubs. In the bands our class is represented by four clarinets, three trumpets, a trombone, a saxophone. a sousaphone, and a flute. W'e had a half back and a sub on the football team, a guard, forward, and a sub on the second team in basketball, and two fielders on the baseball team. In girls' athletics we were represented by three members who were subs on the basketball team and two who were first team baseball members and received letters. We contributed two girls to the track team. We have given several programs before the High School assembly this year, and to enter- tain ourslves gave several parties. Altogether, this year has been a very pleasant one with a well balanced diet fwhich Mr. Friksen so painstakingly taught us was absolutely necessaryj of work and play.

The Eighth Grade HIS year we have a small grade of only nineteen, ten of whom have been together since they started school in 1923. We have tried to make up for our size by taking an active part in all of the school activities. In September we chose our officers for the year: President ---- i - - Helen Ahlstedt Vire President - - - ---- james Collier Secretary and Treasurer - - - - Maxon Esterdahl Student Council Repre.ve111a1iz'e.v - - june Peterson and Charles Laitsch During 1930-'51 our grade has been well represented in the Whitehall High School Band by two clarinet players, Clarence Mickelson and Merle Ackerman, two saxophone plavers, Charles Laitsch and james Collier, a trumpet, a drum, a baritone, and a mellophone played by Tony Havlik, Maxon Esterdahl, june Peterson, and Barbara Stierle, respectively. ln the junior Band we had john Fechner and john Keen. When the grade was called upon late in the second term to give a program before the High School, these band members formed an orchestra which presented a musical program. By selling candy at basketball games we were able to have several class parties, at Christ- mas time, on Valentine's day, and another later on in the year. We were forced to abandon our plans for a sleigh ride party because of the lack of snow. We have been as active in athletics as can be expected of a class of our size. The girls in our basketball team chose Mariam Marquardt for their captain. In the school tournament we lost to the seventh grade girls. There was no boys' basketball team due to the fact that there were not enough boys in our grade to make a full team. However, the boys turned out a strong baseball team which brought several victories to the Eighth Grade. Although we are few, we have managed to establish records in scholarship, athletics, and other activities which we hope to equal during our four vears in high school.

Band URING the season of 1930-'51 our band has accomplished a great deal, having furnished music for many activities, school and otherwise. To begin the season we gave, last summer, a series of Saturday night concerts in the business district of the town. On December 15 we gave our second official concert, this time in the Playhouse. This was of special importance because it was the first appearance of the band in its new, colorful, scarlet and white uniforms. The uniforms added to the appearance and confidence of the players, and helped make the concert a success. Soon after school started in the fall, the junior Band of thirty-one pieces was organized. As soon as anyone from this band has made enough progress to permit him to do more ad- vanced work, he is promoted to the Senior Band. Several junior Band members have already availed themselves of this privilege and are now playing in the Senior Band. Not all of the band's activities have been restricted to its own home town. Several trips, such as the excursion to Ludington to participate in their fourth of July celebration last year and the trip to Clarksville to help that city organize a band were enjoyed by the band members. On May 15 we went to Muskegon to play in the First Annual West Shore Music Festival held in the Central Campus auditorium. Besides playing several numbers alone, we performed in a massed band, composed of the Muskegon Heights, Grand Haven, Ludington, Muskegon, and Whitehall bands, under the direction of Professor Maddy of the University of Michigan. We went to Ludington on May 27 to play in their spring music festival. There we received good constructive criticism on our playing which will be very valuable to us in our work. The climax of our year, however, was the district tournament at Mt. Pleasant. Although we are a Class D band, we entered the Class C division and won first place from bands that had been organized longer than we had. This victory gave us the privilege of entering the state tourna- ment at East Lansing. We realize that we could not have had such a successful season without the help of Mr. Peterson and Miss Fessenden, and we wish to express our appreciation to them for their faith- ful work with us.

Glee Clubs HE Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs. under the direction of Miss Fessenden, have accomplished a great deal during the two semesters of 1930-'3l. Although the Girls' Glee Club is larger and has made more public appearances during the year than the Boys' Glee Club, both have accomplished much and made a good showing in the past year. We were unable to be represented in the State Contest at Kalamazoo this year because of the lack of finances. We hope, however, that next year we shall be in better financial circum- stances so that we can make the trip. The Girls' Glee Club has organized a Girls' Trio. We presented THE SUNBONNET GIRL as our operetta this year, with Virginia Rolph as Sunbonnet Sue and Robert Stauch as Bob Coleman. Carrie Nichols, Geraldine Hill, Kathleen Walters, Edward Dahlstrom, Earl Cornheld, Niels Mickelson, Richard Cogswell, June Dahlstrom, William Fechner, Lucile Pray, julia Austin, Mabelle Pray, and Ruth Perkins composed the rest of the cast. The story was of an orphaned daughter of musical parents who was taken in by a family who were mean to her. As the story goes on, she wins a scholarship by singing and falls in love with the young man who restores to her her rightful property. We can never forget what a good hen-pecked hus- band Edward Dahlstrom made, or what a good Mrs. Scroggs we had in Kathleen Walters. With Miss Fessenden back, and only a few seniors leaving us, we hope to make a fine record next year.

Debaiing HE debate question this year, Resolved, That the National Chain Grocery Stores oper- ating in the State of Michigan are Detrimental to the People of the State, aroused a great deal of interest. Nine people reported for the squad at the beginning of the season. Of these only one had previously taken part in a debate. Practice debate against Muskegon Heights. Muskegon Senior High, Ottawa Hills, and Creston helped a great deal to develop what at the beginning of the year was a very inexperi- enced squad. ln the first regular debate Whitehatll took the negative against Newaygo at Ne- waygo and came home with a 5 to 0 victory. At Hart, Whitehall won its second debate by the decision of a single judge. The first home debate brought the first defeat of the season--a split decision to Shelby. By defeating Ravenna 5 to 0 in the last preliminary, the home team gained a total of four- teen points. This enabled it to enter the elimination. Wlhitehall gained two split decisions at Scottville and Reed City, but in the third elimination debate lost to Coopersville by another split decision. The team has had a very successful season having won the trophy awarded by the Michigan State Debating League and The Detroit Free Press given to every school entering the elimina- tion. Whitehaill has gained a longer list of victories this year than have ever before been won in the history of the school. Six of the members of this year's squad attended the State finals at Ann Arbor. A trip through the State Capital, Michigan State College, The Industrial School for boys and the Michigan School for the Blind-- all in Lansing-were enjoyed on the way down. At Ann Arbor the group was the guest of the University. A fine Campus tour conducted by University of Michigan professors, a concert by the University of Michigan band, a baseball game between Michigan and Colgate. and the final championship debate between Flint Northern and Grand Rapids Union were high lights of the visit at the University. XVith five veterans back next year, Whiteliall hopes to go far in the elimination. Page Tbirli'-two fv -.

Girl Scouls On my honor I will try To do my duty to God and my country, To help other people at all times, And to obey the Girl Scout Laws. On October 29, 1930, the Girl Scouts were organized under Captain R. C. Stauch and Lieutenants Holmes, Fessenden, and MacDonald. The troops are divided into four patrols, the Starlets No. 1 with patrol leader Myrtle johnson, Eagles No. 2 under Frances Benjamin, Owlets No. 3 under Eleanor Svensson, and Bumble Bees under Arlyne Schneider. Each troop has a flag representing its name. As honor stars are earned by the troop they are placed on the flag. All the members of the troops but three have passed their tenderfoot tests and have earned their pins. We expect to have some Second Class Scouts soon. To be prepared - this is the motto and aim of every true Girl Scout. This organization has increased this year with much younger girls than ever before, but every girl has put forth every effort to further the ideals of young girlhood and to accomplish success. The Scouts were taken over by Captain G. Holmes and many good times were spent on hikes and parties. With the Hnancial success of selling candy at different occasions, the girls are looking forward to a week's camping trip. Captain Holmes and the Lieutenants, our capable advisors, have surely cooperated with the girls in keeping the Girl Scouts' Flag of Ambition flying.

Annual Siaff EEKS of constant effort, of madly rushing about, of burning the midnight oil, that is what the 1931 Crystal Staff has to offer along with the 1951 publication of the Crystal. Early in the Spring this group set to work to construct this last monument to Whitehall High School-the 1931 Crystal. It has meant cooperation and cleverness, persistence and pep, energy and enthusiasm, and a score of other attributes that only those who attempt such a pro- ject can realize. If this year's Crystal accomplishes the aim which the Staff has intended for it-a record of school friendships, activities, and ambitions - we shall feel that it has all been worth while.

Composed of two delegates from each class and their president, we feel that it has been a good representation of the student body. Th officers who were chosen last fall for 1930 and '51 were: Presidenl - Virginia Rolph Vice President Dorothea Erickson Secretary - Kathleen Walters Treasurer - - Helen Langer Among the objects which the Student Council has accomplished, it has devised a plan of student government which has been successfully operating during the year. Under this plan we elected Ivan Houseman as Lieutenant and Everett Allen, Captain, to keep order in and around the school building. These two officers, the President of the Studnt Council, and Mr. Eriksen, composed a committee which drew up the rules for the student body. Each year new policies are introduced into the school, and we hope that in the years to come the Student Council will bring about a better understanding and a bigger feeling of co- operation between the faculty and the students.

Football HE 1950 football squad which reported to Coach Wolfe was eager to fill the moleskins and appeared to be promising material and ready for rapid progress. The men receiving letters for the previous season who returned to the team this year were: Houseman, Wight, Cornfield, Fechner, Mickelson, Brightwell, Gibbs, and Houpt. For our opening game we invaded the Shelby gridiron, during which a cold rain pre- vailed, and we were defeated by a score of 25 to 0. After threshing out the mistakes and correcting the faults of the first game we romped over Ravenna, another Class C school, a week later on our own field. The score was 26 to 0. Due to the injuries received in these two games, our team was greatly weakened. Coach Wolfe had to change the team around considerably. lt was with this team that we attempted to check the powerful and undefeated Montague line-up a week later. We met with defeat in this game by a score of 54 to 0. The game at St. Mary's just a week later was really a closer game than one might judge from the first look at the score which was 19 to 0. The next game was with another parochial school, St. jeans, on our own field. The St. jeans' team came out victorious with a score of 13 to 0. On the following Friday we entertained the strong Muskegon Heights Reserve team here and were defeated again 15 to 0. The annual Armistice Day struggle with Montague was played on our own gridiron this year. We held the undisputed Class C State Champions to a score of 36 to 0. This game wound up our 1950 season. Whitehall placed Cornfield for the third consecutive year on the mythical all-county team and Houseman and Gibbs found positions on the second team.

Cartgnan, Houseman. and Allen, has enjoyed a long and successful season. The opening game was with Hart and it proved to be one of the biggest thrillers of the season. This game called for an overtime period as the score was 23 all when the regular time was up. During the extra period Hart sank one held goal and a free shot for three points, making the final score 26 to 23. After taking Hesperia into camp by a score of 20 to 10, we lost two games, one to Muske- gon Heights Reserves and the other to Fremont, the winners of the Class C district champion- ship. Coming back strong after the Christmas holidays we had five consecutive victories over Shelby, Hesperia, St. Mary's, Ravenna and Newaygo. After these games our luck changed and we fell beneath the onslaught of the St. Mary's and Shelby quintets. A week later we gave our old rival Montague a severe drubbing, 23 to 9. In the next two contests we lost to Fremont and Montague. The last two games on our schedule were with junior College Frosh and the Muskegon Heights Reserves. We defeated the junior College Frosh in one of th closest and most thrilling games of the season, but lost to the Heights Reserves. In the district tournament we defeated Pentwater and Hesperia and gained the champion- ship. This enabled us to go to the regional tournament at Grand Rapids where we won over Dimondale but lost to Middleville in the semi-finals.

Girls' Basltelball ACING a hard schedule with a small amount of veteran material, the Girls' Basketball Squad made a fine record in winning six and dropping but three contests. Any team that must face such powerful court squads as the Muskegon Reds and the 1950-'31 Montague combination had its job cut out for them! Custer came to Whitehall to open the season in December and presented a smooth-passing attack. The score was tied at half but in the second half the Red and White was not to be denied and made enough baskets to register a 16-ll victory. Ravenna was next on the local sextette's schedule but the inexperienced visiting team was no match for the Whitehall tossers and a 42-S victory was rolled up. The following Montague game, however, was a hard one. The Blue and White had a fast moving combination, and clever floor work. Montague scored heavily in the first half and coasted to a 23 to 7 victory. The Muskegon Reds, Whitehall's first class A opponent, was next on the local card. White- hall fought hard the first half and the score was close but Muskegon reserve strength began to wear down the Whitehall attack and the Big Reds won 45 to 28. St. Mary's was the next opponent and it proved but a practice game as Whitehall rolled up a 45 to 0 score. Earlier results were duplicated in four return games. Whitehall went down fighting to Montague in their second meeting by a 18 to 8 count. St. Mary's was defeated by a lop-sided score of 37 to 9. Ravenna girls cancelled due to illness and in the final the Whitehall squad beat the Custer Cardinals 23 to 8. Brightwell and King were the heavy scorers of the season. Walters, Brightwell and Fechner alternating at the pivot positions did fine work. Mord, Havlik and De Witt did most of the guard work and kept the oponent's score low. Good reserve strength consisting of Kinsey, Swenson, Schneider, Haupt and others saw much action. Much credit is due Coach Geraldine Holmes for the fighting spirit she installed into her team. Hilda Mortl is the only member of 1951 squad lost through graduation and next year's team should be even more formidable than the present one. iimm..4nw4,..l. .., l. l, Page F on y W'lJitelJall High Sfhool T H E C R Y S T A L Nineteen Tbirtyeone BOYS' RESERVES First Row: Paul Simonson, Raymond Funnell, Capt.

Second Row: Coach Folkert, Robert Stauch, Arthur Bloomquist, Reserves l:lE reserve squad of this season was built around the nucleus of of one veteran, Raymond Funnell, who played during the season of 1929-'50. Although handicapped by small play- ers, the squad won ten out of thirteen games, the defeats being administered by St. Mary's, Shelby, and Montague. The coaching of Mr. Folkert was responsible for this good record. The first eight games of the season were all victories for the local squad hut the first defeat was met in a game with St. lNIary's. Due to a small court, the locals were beaten by the Muskegon team. The following game with Shelby proved disastrous for the squad, but Mon- tague, the next opponent was taken into camp and the team was again in form. This game was followed by one with Fremont and the latter proved to be one of the greatest hazards to us, but this team was defeated after a spectacular overtime finish. The final game was with Montague. During the game, the squad put up a valiant hght but they were finally beaten hy one basket in the last few seconds of play.

' v-rv-v ,I I n Page Fifty-si - . 0 v Wbztehall Hugh School T H E C R Y S T A L Nineteen Tbzrty-one Girls' Spring Afhlefics UE to the unusual success of the Girls' Indoor-Outdoor Baseball season and the fine show- ing of the Whitehall Highschool track squad, it was deemed wise to devote one of these last pages of the 1951 Crystal to its recapitulation. Whitehall opened its season by meeting its transitional rival across the river and after an orgy of running that made the contest look like a track meet, the local lassies emerged on the long end of a 33-32 count. Whitehall's fielding was ragged but the local girls hit the ball with a vengeance. With the score tied and two out, Grayce Kinsey knocked a home run in the final inning that proved the winning run. In the next contest Ravenna came to Whitehall to present its claim to the county associ- ation title. Whitehall could do little with Ravenna's pitching in the early frames but finally found its batting eyes to down Ravenna 17-13 in a game that was close throughout. The local team travelled to Holton to win its third victory. Ann Brightwell's pitching baffled the Holton batters while her team mates were collecting and massing base hits and Whitehall came out on the end of a 15-4 count. The second Montague game was looked forward to keenly because of the close game in the opening encounter. Coach Holmes had her team keyed up for the event and no sooner was the first inning under way than base hits began bombarding from the Whitehall bats like shells on a besieged fortress! When the din of battle had subsided, Whitehall emerged the victory -- 45-ll. The home game with Holton was the fastest of the year. Whitehall scored eight runs in the first three innings but could. do little with the offerings of the Holton pitcher, the rest of the game. Whitehall won 11-3 to ring up its fifth consecutive victory. The second Ravenna game and the final one of the year was played as a climax to the track and field meet at Ravenna. The game was an important one in that a Ravenna victory would mean a tie for the championship in the county league. Fear of losing, however, was soon al- layed as the Whitehall girls plied their bats to say it with base hits. Again Ann Brightwell kept the opponents hits scattered while her teammates piled up an impressive lead. The Red and White won 27-9 to keep its slate for the season clean. Not only did the local lassies emerge from their 1931 season undefeated but for the second consecutive year they have copped the County League bunting. It is also a significant fact that of the squad of thirteen, Coach Holmes will lose but one through graduation. The batteries for all the games of the season were Ann and Norine Brightwell. Infiielders included Grayce Kin- sey and Kathleen Walter at first, Vera Havlik at second, Edith DeWitt and Lucile Pray at third and Captain Holly Fechner, Alice DeWitt and Jeanette Funnell at the shortstop posi- tions. In the outfield Arlyne Schneider, Ruth Perkins, Myrtle Johnson, and Harriet Snyder played. The team should be even more formidable next year than the past two seasons. - In the Spring Track Meet at Ravenna the girls amassed nineteen of Whitehall's forty-two points. In the fifty-yard dash Ann Brightwell beat Hunt and Dahl to take first place. In the high jump Kathleen Walter broke a county record when she cleared four feet three and a quarter inches to win first place. Alice De Witt trailed Sikkenga of Montague closely to take third place in this event. In the girls' broad jump and the baseball throw Ann Brightwell and Gertrude Smith of Montague played a neat Gaston and Alphonso stunt. Ann beat Gertrude in the broad jump when she cleared six feet eleven inches but Gertrude took first and Ann second in the baseball throw. Much credit is due Coach Holmes for the fighting of her teams.

His head sits on one end, and he sits on the other. There ain't no between to his toes, and he carries a toy balloon in his stomach to keep from sinking. The duck has only two legs, and they are set so far back on his running gear that they come durn near missing his body. Some ducks, when they git big, are called drakes. Drakes don't half to set her hatch- just loaf, go swimming, and eat. If I had to he a duck, I'd rather be a drake every time. Ducks don't give milk, but eggs-but as for me, give me liberty or give me death. TU? Bill F.: Do you girls really like con- ceited men better than the other kind? Marie O.: What other kind?
