To these who have made our school years a lilting melody which will long be remembered, we dedicate this annual.

L. OATLEY President THE BOARD OF EDUCATION Working hand in hand with the faculty, the board has worked to develop the talents and personality of every student. This is often a difficult and thankless job. We are indeed grateful to this group of prominent St. Johns' citizens who so unselfishly give their time that our school system may become a better educa- tional institution. MRS. IRENE DEWITT Treasurer The most difficult problems on the frontiers of ignorance for young people to solve are the problems of human understandings. Here at Rodney B. Wilson High School we expect that the agencies of our educational system will give at least an introduction to the best available solutions to these problems and make it pos- sible for every individual to become the very best citizen in our democracy that he or she is capable of becoming. BENNIE POCIUS, B. S., M. A. Principal I want to congratulate the members of the Class of 1950 for their fine Annual. I am sure it will be enjoyed by the students and by the people inter- ested in you. It carries on the fine tradition estab- lished by previous classes. The publishing of an Annual is one of many activi- ties provided on the curriculum for the students of this school. In a recent survey, graduates of this school were asked what they would do to make their training more valuable if they were to attend high school again. They stressed two things: 1, They would enter into more activities because this would give them an opportunity to devel- op better leadership qualities and thereby be- come more successful. 2. They should be compelled to'study and work harder and thereby develop a better back- ground of information to help them through- out life. Both of these things involve work. Work and more work seems to be the key to success. During your high school career we hope we have given you the training necessary to help you be successful. I hope you will carry on the tradition of success as shown by former students graduating from the St. Johns Public Schools. J. IVAN NIERGARTH, B. S., M. A.

CLASS HISTORY Remember when - we were the Mighty Freshman and everyone thought it was a fascinating rhythm. However, before the first week was over with its grand confusion of schedules and rooms, each one thought, I need some- one to watch over me! We depended on Bromley Hunt to lead us. The school days of our sophomore year were filled with nothing more than studies. We were just drifting down the river of golden dreams but just for fun we had a Soc Hop and a freshmen initiation. Duane Smith was our leader that year. A happy time was had by all who came to Candy Land , our J-Hop. Don Tatroe's Orchestra was a big attraction among the colorful background of assorted candies. Going on down memory lane, our first stage production was Dear Ruth which turned out to be a real hit. Dick Hodge wielded our class gavel. Everything they said came true, this is our year. Led by Jane Spousta we've worked hard to make our senior year one to be remembered. The sen- ior play jane Eyre was a dramatic success. The Senior Prom was another of our big events to be well remembered. It's hard to realize that we've come to the end of our high school career. When we leave the dear old high school And face the world alone, We'll think oi days we've spent here As the best We've ever known. 16 1, .-Jw!! ,Y in Xi BILL ALLISON gn gn Have you tried.

VanElfg, 7-rlergflftl easllfe r E TIME NOW, NOW, NOW IS TH With years of work and much anticipation behind them, our Juniors are almost ready to claim the dignified title of Seniors . They have had a great deal of fun as under- classmen but still, it will be kind of nice for a change to be the leaders of our school. Their two outstanding school activities during their year as juniors have been a most successful J-Hop and their junior play, Tiger House. The play was a mystery comedy in three acts. Their record so far, scholastically, as members of school clubs and the Student Council, and as participants in school activities, marks them as promising and capable leaders. They may be expected to be well worthy of their responsible title and to set a good example for the underclassmen. 33 1. . - , r Ig fl? 1 all M , f , 1' gr -..

They are always ready to join in the fun of a school dance or any activity that is being planned. Their most distinguished achievement this year has been the part they played in the magazine campaign by coming out ahead of the other classes. Other activities they sponsored were their roller skat- ing party and their spring square dance. 37 ,els '.7 , ' T '1 1 im, F 'a Eitifhkfgi Q ' 2: - ' t i f M y --1' A . Q - . at f.

This adequately describes the spirit of the ninth graders, better known as Freshies . Although registration into high school, with its filling out of various forms and schedules left them somewhat bewildered, they quickly rallied and by the time the Sophs got around to formally intitiating themg they were already full fledged members of the high school-in spirit anyway. They put most of the other classes to shame with their high rate of sales in the magazine. campaign and the way they turned out in full force for football games, basket- ball games, and all other school activities. The whole school can be proud of these Freshmen who represent an introduction of newer ideas and more spirit into school life. Rodney B. has another reason also for appreciation of this class-it is the largest Freshman class in the history of Wilson High. 41 -ar, usiif in if ' 'ff , . r 3 1,7 fr P , .

After the long hard practices and polishing up dress re- hearsals, one would never know that this was most of the casts' first experience in the art of acting. The very attractive setting built by Marvel Zimmerman proved a fitting and appropriate background for an excellent play. 54 Senior Play Jane Eyrew, a more serious drama, was en- thusiastically received by near capacity crowds last November 17, 18. The cast all agreed that under the fine di- rection of Miss Helene Burns, putting on a play was a lot of fun and their efforts were well worth while. Although it was a serious play and far from the general run of comedies, the audience greatly approved. A lot of credit goes to the people behind the scenes and to Chuck Hasselback for the very realistic setting. Without these people and their work Jane Eyre would not have been the suc- cess it was.

As we entered the gym the music of Don Tatroe's orchestra swelled from the green velvet, silver-ribboned candy box, the main attraction of the decora- tions. Across from the orchestra was a lounge fenced by large gum drops, life savers, candy corn, and candy hearts. The walls were covered by different candies designating different holi- day times of the year. The song Candy was used by the orchestra as the theme song for the occasion and everyone was regretful when the last strains of the music faded. The thought of this memorable event will ever remain in the minds of those who attended. 56 Z' X I . 'W isbn-an - fr Homecoming The 1949 Homecoming provided fun and thrills for everyone. Many out-of- towners gathered here for the occasion. Mary Lou Henning, a senior, was chosen queen of the event by the student body. Her court consisted of Nanette Stockwell, representing the junior class, Shirley Clark the sophomore class, and Mary Ann De- Fouw the freshman class. .Sn exciting game with Belding high school proved victorious for the St. Johns Red Wings. Following the game two priz- es, a radio and a car, were raffled off. Wil1ies Wagon , a 1927 Auburn car, was won by Gary Cockran of rural St. Johns. The G. E. radio was won by Mr. Vern Mosher. After the game an evening of dancing was enjoyed by everyone. ZMMFZM? X. KL I I o - A fm! l 4 ' v ' 9 N : 6' I 'Ay l . ' all I I '- 5 Z N E S 4 2 - Z 3 i 3 5 4 5 , Z I 5 '7 . 1 . :ffg F, L ,- ' .

The 71 students are put through their paces by high-stepping drum majorette Judy Hughes and four strutting baton twirlers, Marilyn McMichels, Janice Hughes, Reva Rinckey, and Joyce Schuster. 76 tx -milf awk, P103 ,,4f, :N Y GQ' r' .1 A 1- 4? wk yqxx 1 lx Sv W, at if A ' Q QQ.. fy 5 K if X A x X sv'Rl , x Q 5- .

They have studied a wide repertoire of songs, both sacred and secular. Kathryn Summers and Ardene Deibert have been the accompanists for the entire year. Although at times the rehearsals seemed tiresome, the mem- bers of the chorus were faithful. The noticeable approval of the programs erased the memory of the tiresome rehearsals. The chorus made several appearances this year. A Christ- mas program and the operetta My Wild Rose was given. The chorus sang for Baccalaureate and for various church do- ings. Several members went to the Solo Festival in Lansing. All of these things have helped to make this a successful year for the chorus. L Q?

It has traveled to: Alma, Fowler, Ithaca, Ovid, Carson City, and other places playing for everything from J-Hops to hard time dances. Under the capable direction of Mr. john Adams it is the best that Rodney B. has seen in a long time.

They also compiled a composite score of 237 points against 19 points. This gave the Wings Coach Carey deserves a good deal of the credit for sharpening a rugged team to a keen edge of ability. In return it paid off highly with the reward of the West Central League Championship and a high rating throughout the state. All who watched this the finest of fine football teams, wish to thank each and every man who helped make this a year to remember for many years to come. w X f 0 o 0 o I N I4 U Q: a good margin in just about every game played. 5 l 85 ,Hx is 9, 'buf' eg i W Si?

Second row: Mr. Carey, Alan Smith, Gerald Benedict, George Black, David Conklin, William Nobis. Basketball A very successful season was completed this year by the St. Johns cagers who won twelve and lost but five games. They were in the race for the West Central League championship all through the season. They lost out to Greenville in the last game of play for conference championship, which put them in second place in league standings. This is the first time in the history of the league that St. johns was battling for part of the league title. One of the greatest accomplishments of the season was the victory over Alma in a regular scheduled game. A bad break came in the latter part of the season when Dale Knight, the regular center, got knocked out of the lineup due to a knee injury. Although the loss of Knight put the fire out, the Redwings played their hearts out and lost four heart breakers including the district tournament which was played on Lansing East- ern's floor. Hot, Hot, Hot. Oh, brother, those little wings. In one game they led Ionia 40-3 at the half.

In the last two years fourteen boys were sent to the state finals, on the Michigan State track at East Lansing. The Redwings have been very strong in the relays, and with a regular relay man back for each spot, they should go to State finals again this year. BOWLING LEAGUE Every Monday night after school Hick's bowling alley is filled with high school bowl- ing enthusiasts. The leagues bowl under the supervision of Miss Helene Burns at reduced rates. The main purposes of the league are to provide a healthful sport for the students and to prepare them for bowling in the future. BOXING Boxing is one of the new hobbies which has been enjoyed by many students in the last two years. It was started by the Junior Chamber of Commerce. Last year students had regular boxing matches at Lansing in the Golden Gloves and rated high considering the experience they had. BASEBALL Because of the publishing deadline of the annual, it is impossible to say much about our 1950 baseball team. Last year was the first Redwing Club in several years. With little or no experience the team won only one league game, but lost some heart-breakers. This year there will be a letter man for al- most every position, and the boys should do much better than last season.

Under the direction of Miss Irene Heemstra, the cheer leaders have done a great job plan- ning pep meetings and leading cheers to keep the teams encouraged. In becoming a cheer leader you must try out in front of a board of judges composed of Miss Heemstra and four other faculty members. The cheer leaders are divided into tvqo groups, one the senior cheerleaders, made up of the four who have been in the longest. They are: Judy Culver, Dick Root, Marlene Goff, and Margaret Graham. The senior cheer leaders chose as their head Margaret Graham. The jun- ior cheer leaders are: Mary Hopko, Mary Hefty, Delores Stephens, and Marquita Studer. Their leader is Delores Stephens. To receive a letter a cheer leader must be active for at least two years. 92 RESERVE FOOTBALL Due to a strong line and a hard running back- field, the St. Johns reserve team completed a very successful season. The only black mark on the little wings' record was a 7-0 defeat at the hands of a strong Fowler varsity. There are several boys ready to take over the vacant spots in the varsity next year. FRESHMAN FOOTBALL Something new has been added this fall, with Coach Duane VanDuzen polishing up a very snappy Freshman eleven. Although they lost only two games, the boys picked up many pointers which will help them in future years. First row: Richard Hasselback, Keith Tiedt, Bruce Fitzpatrick, George Black, Wayne Buehler, Clifford Smith Second row: Bruce Woodbury, Wayne Beaufore, David Wakefield, David LeDuke, Richard Walker Allen Tiedt Keith Barrett. Third row: Norman Woodbury, Mark Eaton, jim McNutt, Stanley Purvis, David Price, Dick Burns. Fourth row: Duane Van Duzen, Coach, Bill Karber, Neil Van Epps, Gary Smith, Gorden Mills, Gorden Matter. School athletic teams are definitely a part of the school curriculum here at St. johns high. We in the Athletic Department are continually striving to make each boy who participates in the athletic activities a more capable individual so that he will be better fitted to take his place in society. He learns how to work with other people, how to take defeat as well as victory. He learns that it takes a lot of hard work, time and effort in order to gain his goal. All of these are true of life after he graduates and thus we are glad to help form the foundation which an individual should have in order to live in this fine democratic nation of ours. 93 01. jQLQ,Qe .gif l,A W. up W I 'Lf 'ii wail' .JA 1 J ! -ul 'Mt- 93 H A N K' ,wh , 4 S3 sw? 5- 1 , 4 .f - 3 x 1 LY: , 'Cixi WI 1' I 'A VA., Q34 ,M I ' --mrx.
