It may he the footpath to greater achievements as the player on a home town team can become an all state star. It brings thrills with winnings, discouragement with defeat. The real ability of our 1947 team is not told in victories and defeats, but in the alert co-op- erative spirit in which it has been attained. The 1947 Wilsonian staff pre- sents to you Willie and Sonia who will act as your guides throughout this book. Although you may not recognize them, they have been our constant companions the last four years. Dedication During the past four years we, the class of '47, have striven faithfully to attain the standard of education designed to prepare us to more ca- pably serve the needs of youth. It is only through the assistance and co-operation of the superintendent, principal, and associates that we were able to reach this goal. We are especially grateful to Miss Hazel Bloss who unceasingly de- voted her time and effort to the success of this publication. And to her we respectfully dedicate our 1947 Wilsonian. My MAXWELL SMITH President GERALD R. DANLEY Vice President GLENN OSGOOD Secretary HARRY HULSE Treasurer CLEMENT M. l'UNG Trustee 4 r Owners The owners of our. mighty team are the Board of Education who are business men of our town. Even with our successful team the owners have problems and difficulties to wrangle with. We admire the effort and forti- tude they have put forth in su- pervising-and improving our school. Coaches The most important individual of a football team is the coach, por- trayed by Superintendent J. Ivan Niergarth, a most virtuous and ca- pable man. Running parallel with the formation and operation of the various organizations with which Coach Niergarth has been identified is a long history of achievements - much too long to mention. As assistant coach, Bennie Pocuis has co-ordinated with the coach in developing our team into a smooth- running aggregation. Yet with all his various duties he was never too busy to discuss our personal problems. We W Vyffxffff WW IVAN NIERGARTH B. S., M. A. BENNIE POCUIS B. S., M.

However there were a few who seemed to sense, at that early age, what the next twelve years had in store. . As eighth graders our chief characteristic was generosity, to the extent that we donated our entire treasury to the honor roll fund, a good example of pre-high school precocity. Bob Clark was the first to wield the gavel as class president. When our freshman year rolled around, the new rural students felt the awe and fear that the town students had experienced the previous year, a feeling that always accompanies entering a new phase of school. As ninth graders we entered witl1 zest and zeal into the politics and activities of our school under the leadership of Bob Hulse. The war didn't affect our class, as a whole, very much - we were always short of men! And as sophomores we had made our presence known to the school -no class obscurity for us! Don French was drafted into the presidency that year. I Ah! our junior year. We will always be thankful for that week off in which we constructed our ingenious masterpiece, the Ringling Rendezvous, said to have been one of the best Hops in Rodney B's history. VVe ven- tured onto the stage with our presentation of Seven Keys to Baldpatef' john Hopko took over the class l'Vhite House. Our senior year started off with spirit. Three of our members, Hopko, French, and Hulse, were put on the Western League football team. We elected Bob Hulse into presidential office for a second term. The senior play, Arsenic and Qld Lace , was hilarious and well received as we anticipated. We began to realize that we had a life ahead outside of Rodney B. - college or whatP?P So with these questions in our minds we went on with the traditional senior activities-banquet, senior prom, and finally Commencement. lt is difficult to realize that we have completed our high school career.

The continual process of absorbing knowledge might be- come boring if it were not for the spice and variety extra-curricular activities lend. Some enjoy active participation while others get an equal thrill out of being spectators. VVe are glad that our school has so many organizations in which we can take part. Oftentimes taking an active part in the game means the expenditure of time and energy, but, in future years when we are thinking of high school days, the things that will be foremost in our memory will be the part we played in the game.

A faculty committee chooses new members by the fol- lowing qualifications: scholarship, leadership, character, and service. These members, five per cent of the juniors and fifteen per cent of the seniors, are chosen from the upper third of the respective classes. To the ninety-six girls and fifty-four boys previously admitted to this society six seniors: Ruth Catton, Wilbur Frayer, Helen Martus, Phyllis Nuechterlein, Mary Puetz, Patricia Slifeg and four juniors: Mei Lou Foo, Betty f-Q, Bailey, Robert Hulse, and Xvayne Swartz- 6- ' endruber were admitted. Sl: all A scholarship fund provides for annual awards of ten dollars to a member of each of the lower classes, and twenty dollars to IH a senior. Last year the recipients were: yi y Shirley Osgood, senior, Robert Hulse, jun- L iorg Marilyn Nuechterlein, sophomore, and Dean Wakefield, freshman. The local chapter of the American Le- gion gives an award to a boy and girl of the eighth grade at the Awards Assembly. Fielding Finch and Kathryn Summers re- ceived this award last spring.

Student Advisory Committee One of the most active bodies in the high school is the Student Advi- sory Committee, which has been organized for five years. It was established to interest the students in school government and promote a better under- standin between students, facultv, and administration. S , Members of the committee are a boy and girl representative from each class, elected at the class elections in the fall- the junior and sen- ior class vice presidents, and a faculty advisor representing each class. This group sponsors the annual Football Dance and Banquet, Magazine Sales, Friday night dances, and deals with all matters brought up in school concerning the students. The officers for the year were: president, Daniel Mclsaughling vice president, Theresa Eiselerg secretary-treasurer, Nancy Black. 55 .

They meet every other Friday and are under the direction of Miss Bloss. This year the club members, who call themselves The '1'wt-mieth Century Ro- mans, have affiliated with the Junior Classical League. This League is a na- tional organization. Two years ago a new scholarship award was given for excellence in Latin. Those receiving it last year were june Anderson, Stella Conklin, Marilyn Nuechterlein, and Joyce Sievert. It is in the form of a cer- tificate and is presented at the annual Awards Assembly. The Latin Clubbers make themselves useful by selling concessions at the basket- ball games. The club this year was under the guid- ance of Dean Mfakefield, Consul, Helen DuBois, Senatorg Louise Fitch, Scriptorg Lois Nuechterlein, Quaestorg Jean Root, Praedicatorg and Priscilla Robinson, Ae- dille. The insignia of the club is a torch sur- rounded with laurel leaves and the motto is, Latin, the Light of Languages. Writers Club A popular organization in our school is the Writers Club, directed by Mrs. Stage. To enter one must compose a theme, poem, or story which will meet certain specified standards. To hold permanent membership something must be contributed once a month. Meetings are held bi-weekly in the school library. Manu- scripts are read, discussed, and criticized. All members participate in a constructive manner. The dynamic new school newspaper, The Atom, is published by the club. This marks the initial endeavor for recognition by this club. The staff is limited to the fifteen active club members who all contribute to the paper's success. There are three officers this year: president, Joyce Gif- ford, vice-president, Mary Lou Judd, and secretary, Mei Lou Foo. nf?-x .K eff l X Tj A- ' 5 7 A First Row: Mary Lou Judd, Joyce Gifford, Mrs. Stage, Mei Lou Foo, June Anderson.

The only way in which a boy may become eligible for membership is to first earn an athletic let- ter in one of the high school's organized sports. Fourteen new members were admitted and initiated at the close of the football season, bringing this year's membership up to one of the largest ever. The new members are: Ron Brookens, Larry Worrall, Bill Black, Dick Nickelson, Tom Richards, Raymond Pease, Gerry Schoen- dorf, Dale Knight, Leonard Puetz, Adam Bailey, Bill Shipley, Carl Rosekrans, Dan McLaughlin, and Bill Burnham. This year's officers are: co-presidents, John Hopko and Keith Jolly, and secretary-treasurer, L. Wager.

Science Club Last spring a few enterprizing boys formed a Photography Club on the completion of a new dark room. This year the club was reorganized as a Science Club under Mr. Naldrett's direction. The club, consisting of the six charter members-Robert Clark, Robert Graham, Richard Nickelson, Daniel McLaughlin, Charles 'I'eske, and Gerald Struck - opened its ranks to new members. livery prospective member was required to submit an essay on the cur- rent project, Photography. Nineteen' were chosen for membership. Each charter member was then given the responsibility of instructing three or four of the new membcrsin developing, printing, and enlarging. The officers elected were: president, Robert Clark, vice president, Glenn Osgoodg secretary, Patri- cia Underhill, and treasurer, Robert Graham. The club plans to meet twice a month with some of tl1e meetings being social meetings. Each month the club will conduct a picture of the month cone test among its members with a final contest at the close of school for the prize picture of the year. 39 DARK ROOM Cv , realy First Row: Jo Anne Stevens, Ann Payne, Rose Koshko, Joanne Worrall, Joan Mosne.

Because of the tremendous success of last year's Mardi Gras, the club has made the sponsoring of this celebration an annual tradition. Another custom is planning and executing a Christmas program for the occupants of the Infirmary. 4 This year the club has as its members two of the Regional officers: Priscilla Rob- inson, vice president, and Donna Hamble- ton, treasurer.

Future Farmers The Future Farmers of America is a national organization of farm boys enrolled in Vocational Agriculture. The present membership of fifty-five is the largest in the history of our local chapter. 5 U During 1946 Agricultural students, as part of their work, conducted over one hundred and twenty-one farm projects. This is an increase of ten over the record number of one hundred eleven in 1945. The farming interests of the members include common types of crops and livestock gi found in the comnmnity --thirty-two in dairying, ten in sugar beets, ten in beans, and thirteen in poultry flocks.

Senior Play The successful stage production, Arsenic and Old Lace by Joseph Kesselring, was presented by the senior class on the eve- nings of November 21 and 22. The two merry old aunts, who put their victims out of their misery by giving them elderberry wine with arsenic, were played by Barbara Belknap and Betty Bailey. Mortimer Brewster, the nephew, was played by Bob Hulse opposite Nancy Rand as Elaine Harper, the lIliI'llSICT'S daughter. They enacted some interesting and comical love scenes. Daniel McLaughlin as Teddy Brew- ster, who believed he was Theodore Roosevelt, had the auditorium shak- ing with his Chargel Richard Nickelson played the dignified Rev- erend Dr. Harper. Gerald Struck as Jonathon Brew- ster, the rather wacky brother of et:-Q G Mortimer and Teddy, and VVilliam yqff 069 Shipley as Dr. Einstein, his hideous 'tx f sidekick, portrayed some laughably grim horror scenes. -f 2 L.

This was done as training for class officers. club ollicers, and lor everyone so that he would know how to proceed in a meeting ol' any type in later life. The recording machine was put to much use with each student recording his voice three times during the year and then analyzing the records to check on improvement. Many things have had to be crowded into one year, but there is a possi- bility that this course will be extended into a two year course in the hope that the work may he covered more thoroughly. The members ol' the senior and junior play casts are in the process of lorming a dramatics society. These people will act as a nuclear group during the formative stage and others will be admitted upon application. The group will be divided according to the varied interests ol' the members. There will likely be work done in dramatics, make up, stage design, costumes, and stage building. The purpose of the club is to provide activity lor those who are interested in these fields and to better the quality ol' amateur dramatics in the school. The junior play, Almost Eighteen, was presented March I3 and l4.

The editorial staff-Joyce Sievert, Violet Ormston, Robert Clark, Nancy Rand, and Duane Miller- stayed after hours in huddles with Miss Bloss reading and re-writing the copy that literary editors - Joyce Gifford and Norma Tiedt-and other members supplied. All this time business managers, Catherine Harris and Danny McLaughlin, combed Clinton Avenue, pleading for advertisements for the book. To illus- trate their success, the money was hauled in by wagon. Sports editor Bob Hulse, while recuperating from the flu, dashed off' 2,000 words or so on our athletic events. The art work poured in-in small dribbles, and the editors of this department- Marilyn Clark and Mei Lou Foo - staggered home hours after fx:-7 school, bleary-eyed from mounting and drawing pictures. Qu- Charles Teske, Gerald Struck, and Bob Graham plowed through school events with their trusty cameras and at times were rewarded with good pictures. Marietta Emmons, our bookkeeper, peered from behind CX stacks of money, gleefully counting the silver. After the pre- ff'l72,Xj liminary work was completed. typists Virginia Pearson, Lois Nobis, and Elizabeth Young kept the lights burning long hours while they pounded the keys. Our efficient but harassed advisor was, after the book was sent in, carried out on a stretcher. 2X . The League Q Nz f.,. X Nb . M X 'T XF X! cc. 6. L c. fa lyx y Rx Lfiffywp X x!

Varsity Football With six lettermen among the seventy enthusiastic boys who turned out for September practice, prospects looked bright for the coming season. But Lady Luck soon gave everyone to know that she did not intend to shower her affections on our Redwings. Although the Wings tremendously outgained Ovid in the first game of the year, the Romans capitolized on several breaks and won, 7-0. A 26-13 defeat at the hands of Grand Ledge followed, but St. Johns produced their best passing attack in several years. A powerful Alma eleven trounced the X'Vin'gs, 25-0. The breaks continued to go against St. johns and they were edged, l2-6 by Ionia, and l4-7 by Belding. Captain Keith jolly led the Redwings from his half-back position in making these games close. A classy Greenville eleven spelled another St. Johns defeat, as their backs slipped through the Wings defense for three long scoring runs, winning, 24-0. The game with Hastings was played in a sea of mud. Hastings proved to be the better mudders and came out on top, 13-6. In our traditional clash with Ithaca, the Mfings finally emerged victors. A Tom Richards to Alden Knight pass was good for a St. Johns touchdown, and john Hopko circled right end for the all important extra point as St. Iohns won, 7-6. l Coach Young deserves and should receive much credit for his fine efforts. Although beaten seven times, the Wings were edged statistically only twice. Inexperience was largely responsible for their lack of scoring punch. With seven linemen and three backs returning again next year the team should be given the necessary experience. The ten returning lettermen are: Gerald Schoendorf, VVilliam Black, James Redfern, Adam Bailey, Tom Richards, Dale Knight, X'Villiam Burnham, Harry Smith, Fred C. Green, and Alden Knight. The graduating lettermen are: End, Daniel McLaughlin, Tackle, Robert Hulse, Guards, Donald French, Leonard Puetz, Carl Rosekransg Center, Dick Nickelsong Backs, Captain Keith Jolly, john Hopko, L.

He has undertaken the task of developing a winning quintet, something which St. johns has not possessed for several years. His job was made somewhat easier by the return of six lettermen of last year's squad and by the addition ol' Ron Brookens, guard transferee from Mt. Pleasant. Coach Wirick's debut was spoiled as a severe flu epidemic hit St. .Iohns and put several team members on the sick list. The team is just beginning to hit peak strength and can be counted on as a definite threat for the remainder of the season. Tl1e last two games played before the annual went to press were heartbreakers. The Xvings were handed a last minute, 35-34, defeat by Grand Ledge and lost an overtime game to Ionia, 31-29. -lim Retlfern, elongated center, has been the main Redwing scoring threat thus far, but the rest of the boys sharpened their shooting eyes. The reserve team, coached by Chalmer Young, entered Wlest Central League competition this year for the first time. It was also hard hit by the flu bug and got off to a slow start, but the boys showed great promise as they handed Grand Ledge a decisive overtime defeat. 52 First Rout: Marilyn Clark, Marcia Moore, Dorothy Stefiens. Second Rout: Margaret Graham, Avis Hefty, Priscilla Robinson. Cheerleaders This energetic group of girls has urged us on to success at both foot- ball and basketball games. They are always present at pep meetings to raise our spirits with vigorous motions and well worked out cheers. The cheerleaders are selected by tryouts. The senior members of this squad are Marilyn Clark and Dorothy Steffens. Marcia Moore is a junior, with one more year of service ahead. The three new members are Margaret Graham, Priscilla Robinson, and Avis Hefty. For two years of active service they receive a cheerleader's letter.
