‘ih = 72 SF = = |Z a = iki’ Ypsilanti High ost Class of 1958 Spirit of 5 § We as Seniors wish to dedicate our yearbook to the Spirit of ’58, who exempli- fies certain characteristics of our class and school. The characteristics which we have chosen are friendship, loyalty, and dependability. We are proud of the friendship and loyalty among our classmates and we feel the dependability in each one of them helps to form the foundation for our many clubs and organizations. For these reasons our book is dedicated to you, Spirit of ’58. Mr. Clyde Budd, Trustee; Mrs. Bradley M. Harris, Trustee; Mr. Amos Washington, Trustee; Mr. Frederick J. Peters, Jr., President; Mr. Hugh K, Adams, Secretary; Dr. Arold W. Brown, Vice-President; and Mrs. Beth W. Milford, Treasurer. The Board of Education spends countless hours making the policies under which the schools in our system operate. Selling bonds, building new schools, acquiring qualified staff members, planning new im- provements and finding adequate financ es for our local school operations combine to keep our board constantly challenged and always busy. Theirs is a payless and sometimes thankless job which is done willingly and unselfishly that Ypsilanti boys and girls may enjoy the best in free public education. Mr. Evart W.

Our classmates and instructors Will not fade from heart nor mind; Throughout our last four years They’ve remained both loyal and kind. Our graduation day will find us Well learned in every role: College, business, marriage,---- No matter what may be our goal. We shall stand tall and proud, Towering over those who hate. Always, we shall keep that pride Of belonging to the class of ’58. Our class will aid America’s future And strive to keep it free; We shall persevere and be alert; And honor God on bended knee. And so we must depart From the ones who’ve grown so dear; From the vast halls of learning, From the heart of our youthful years. Tom R. Falandysz J. Mike Davison Friday, June 13, 1985, we are in the passenger space ship commuting between the planet earth and the moon. Among the first people to go to the moon are JOHN ALD- RIDGE, CHANSIE BARNES, PAT EBELER, CAROLINE LEIGH, CHARLES MORRIS, LILA OAKS, KATIE RILEY and J. MIKE DAVISON. The people responsible for making this trip possible are the famous scientists such as MIKE HOPEWELL, MIKE BURNS, and DAROLD RORABACHER, KATIE RILEY and J. MIKE DAVISON are overheard reminising about the good old days back at Ypsilanti High School. K- Ihear you’re a designer in the bathing suit business with GRETCHEN ANDREE, JANE BAKER, DOROTHY BRUSHABER as your models with NANCY BEVANS as your top performer. I also hear that JUDY HARNER models once in a while when she isn’t Searchin’’. J- lunderstand you and PRISCILLA BLAIN are working for High Orchard Farms, it seems as though you got your experience back in high school. K- What do you think of the new top song ‘‘I’m Just An Old Heartbreaker’’ by BILL GARNER and his Green Martians? J- Ya, lunderstand that BILL SCOVILL plays trombone, DICK BUSHONG plays piano, BOB REIMAN and DICK SMITH on the cornet, with ED WILSON and TOM HUNT on the drums. I am not sure but I think it is in the universal top ten. K- lalso understand that JUDY STEVENS brought back that old favorite ‘‘Available’’. J- Katie, I was reading that MYRA ASHBY stepped out in front of a car it seems as though she misplaced her glasses. K- BILL SANTROCK, WALTER BLANCHARD, and JIM ROOF got a thirty dollar ticket for parking in a restricted area on Mars. J- JUDY FREEMAN and LLOYD BOWDEN have built a house in the middle of Ballard Street. K- Why there, Mike? J- Well, it seems as though they were getting too many parking tickets. K- Oh! Isee. I remember those two. You remember SHELLEY FERRIS and GENE WELPER don’t you. J- Yea. K- They are in Florida now and GENE runs a trained alligator aquarium with SHELLEY as his top trainer. J- You remember that old favorite T.V. program ‘‘What’s My Line’’ the new panel is from the great class of 1958. The celebraties on the panel are BRENDA ALLISON, CONNIE ANDERSON, SHIRLEY PRIVITT, TOM FORSYTH, and PAT GILBERT with GEORGE BOBBITT as the M.C. K- E. L. WEATHER, DALE WILLIAMS, GORDEN WORTLEY, JAMES WREN and LARRY WILLIAMS are on that new shock thriller ‘‘Beat The Rap’’ program with STEVE FLETCHER and BOB HUSTED as J-Men. J- Yes, it is based on true life experiences of DICK KIESSEL, GARY DAPPRICH, DICK HANSEN, NEIL YOUNG, and GARRIE YATES, K- HAZEL PACE is the director of an all girls ‘‘Be Bop’’ choir with featured guest soloist such as BRENDA WYNN, JANET WILSON, BARB KNOX, FRIEDA and DONNA JONES, and SHARRON SIBSON. J- Yes, Isn’t it nice. SUE YEDLEY is her organist (she took private lessons). TOM 64 FALANDYSZ has just put into poetry LYNN HUNAWILL’S latest book based on her ex- periences at dear old YHS entitled ‘‘101 Different Reasons On Why Go Steady’’. K- Yes. PAT HALL has just finished her book ‘‘101 Different Reasons On Why Not Go Steady.’’ J- JOHN ENGEL and DAVID BROOKS have a church of their own now with DANE DIXON, LARRY DECK, JOE COOK, ETTA BOW, LILLIAN BOW, JAMES NEWELL, BETTY PATTON, and PAUL McCOLLOUGH in the church choir which is under the direction of JOE MATTAROLO and BERNARD ENSIGN. K- PHYLLIS WORDEN has her own ‘‘Lonely Hearts Club’’ with JENEEN PITMAN, PAM REYNOLDS, BOB HOWARD, KAROL KAUTZ, and GORDON JOHNSON as her best customers. J- There is a club for old married couples; the members are: AUBREY ANDERSON HARRIS, SHIRLEY ROACH, RAMONA KELLEY, PAULA HUSTON, and FRED PATTER- SON. K- Did you know ROCHELLE KETCHPAW is the women’s champion wrestler; she took her lessons in high school from BILL DAPPRICH. That reminds me, BILL SPRAGUE is the wrestling coach at YHS along with teaching Civics and Economics on the side. J- JOE VIGO has his own garbage concern with ERIC THERKELSON, RAY DRUM- WRIGHT, and MILTON WEBB as his chief helpers.

Class Will by Benny Brose We, the members of the class of nineteen hundred and fifty-eight, of Ypsilanti High School, graduating on Friday the thirteenth of June, being of age and in sound and sane mental condition, do hereby establish and ordain this legal document as the written instrument of our last will and testament. To the Juniors, with whom we have had such a close ; acquaintance, we leave the privilege of establishing another outstanding graduating class, and we hope that you have as . wa much enjoyment in your senior year as we have had in ours. We further bequeath to the Juniors the Senior assembly seats, and the privilege of being dismissed from the auditorium before other students. To you also goes next year’s Senior Play, yearbook, and the other class activities. Next year, as Seniors, you have inherited the responsibility of being school leaders in all fields of endeavor and also the due re- spect from all students that go with being a Senior. To the Sophomores we leave all of our scholastic and literary achievements to equal and sur- pass. We also bequeath to you our athletic records; the ones to maintain and the mediocre ones to improve. To those in your class who have successfully surmounted the scholastic barriers of this year, we leave the traditional privilege of expressing complete dissatisfaction with the styling and color of next years Senior fads. To all underclassmen we leave our great school spirit, good sportsmanship, and the privilege of entering into the Senior Division and attending the forthcoming activities; in particular, the Sophomore Reception, the ‘‘J’? Hop, and the Senior Farewell. We also bequeath to the under- classmen the opportunity of carrying out a long-time Senior project—replacing the wearisome stairways with modern escalators. To our athletic coaches we leave our trophies, accomplishments, and crying towels. We Sen- iors will never forget the experiences that we have had in sports and thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. We leave to that beloved container, the wastebasket, all of our old homework papers, stale gum, and the school’s red tape that we all get caught in at one time or another. To the administration and faculty, to whom we owe everything we have accomplished through- out high school, we leave our undying gratitude. To our homeroom teachers, Mr. Waterman, Mr. Lee, Miss Iseminger, Mr. Sinden, Miss Cro- thers, Miss Lidke, and Mr. Helvey, we leave a new stack of blue excuses, because you always seem to be running out, and a recording of the famous words of a homeroom teacher, ‘‘Please be quiet during announcements.’’ We really appreciate the kindness and understanding that you have given us during our senior year. To our parents, whose leadership, counsel, love, and money, we made good use of throughout school, we leave to you, who are the greatest people in the world, these words from the bottom of our hearts, ‘ Thank you’’. To the science laboratory and the students who, so unselfishly leave the doors open so that the whole school can benefit from the rottenage odor of hydrogen sulfide, we leave, for the labora- tory, a large bottle of perfumed deodorant. To Mr. Randall, our class advisor, and Miss Iseminger, who made possible a great Senior Play, we leave a long list of pleasant memories. We sincerely appreciate your time and hard work and may future graduating classes enjoy working with you as much as we have. To our librarians we leave a huge sign with these symbolic words, ‘‘Don’t talk in the library and never do anything but library work.”’ We hereby appoint the administration, namely, Mr. Ardis, Mr. Wiltse, Mr. Joslyn, and Mr. Goodsman as the chief administrators of this, our last will and testament. It is your responsi- bility to see that all wishes, desires, and mandates of the foregoing written instrument are carried out to the best of your ability. We fully proclaim that this written instrument shall and will be our legally written last will and testament in witness thereof on the thirteenth day of June, nineteen hundred and fifty-eight. The Senior Class Witness by - Ruth Crothers Leland Randall Chea History by ORATOR Jackie Lamson Judy Harner Experience is the essence of wisdom. Experience is history. The numerous clubs, organi- zations in our school, and the winning of many honors offered to us which we have encountered in the past four years will have a great influence on our lives. When we entered the ninth grade in 1954, we got off to a fine start by electing William Sco- vill, Bill Odegard, Lynn Culler, and Jackie Lamson as our class officers and had as our advisor, Miss Neville. There were many clubs to join and I can assure you our class participated in all those which were available to ninth graders. Shelley Ferris starred in the all-school play ‘‘The Little Dog Laughed.’’ The following girls were chosen as members in the Girls’ Drum and Bugle Corps—Jane Baker, Dorothy, Darnell, Katie Riley, Rochelle Ketchpaw, Pat Hall, Jackie Lamson, Pam Reynolds, Donna Le Master, Diann Walker, Myra Ashby, Sue Yedley, Carol Keeney, and Paula Huston. Nineteen boys were active in the Marching Band. We had sixty-six boys go- ing out for the various sports. And so began the history of the Class of 1958. Eugene Welper, George Beaudette, Harriet Cogswell, and Pat Hall acted as our class officers in our sophomore year. Mr. Dusbiber did an excellent job as our class advisor. We were of- ficially accepted into the Senior Division when we were given a reception in our honor. This year we won first place in the float contest. Eugene Welper, Diann Walker, and Sue Yedley were elected to the high positions of president, secretary, and treasurer of the Student Council re- spectively. Shelley Ferris starred in the all-school play ‘‘Our Hearts Were Young and Gay.”’ Two Seniors were accepted into National Thespian Society and Ruby Oliver placed second in the District Declamation Speech Contest. We were very proud of the splendid records our boys were making in sports; sixty-three boys participated in the various athletic activities. Wayne Tye was elected as captain of the baseball team and Benny Brose was elected co-captain of the tennis team. Bill Sprague took second place in the State meet in Wrestling. Wayne Tye, William Dapprich, Jackie Lamson, and Rochelle Ketchpaw were our Junior class officers. Mr. Cox was our advisor. Aubrey Anderson Harris and Eugene Welper had leading roles in the all-school play ‘‘Father Knows Best.’’ This year we had many juniors added to the National Thespian Society and Quill and Scroll. Benny Brose, Dorothy Brushaber, Mike Burns, Robert Reiman, Darold Rorabacher, Eric Therkelsen, Diann Walker, Eugene Welper, and Sue Yedley were admitted into the National Honor Society in our Junior year. Eugene Welper was again elected president of the Student Council and Benny Brose was elected vice president. Judy Harner placed second in the Interpretive Reading Contest and Katie Riley took first place in the Humorous Speech Contest. We had sixty boys participating in sports and the following were eleéted to captaincy of the different sports for the coming year—Benny Brose, tennis; Bill Sprague, wrestling and cross country; Dick Smith, swimming; Howard Smith, track; Mike Hope- well and Howard Smith, football. Bill Sprague succeeded again in taking second place in the state wrestling meet. Finally the long awaited day arrived—we entered our Senior year! This year was to be the busiest and most honorable year we were to experience. Mr. Leland Randall was our advisor and during our Senior year exhibited his many capabilities and wonderful personality. John Engel called many class meetings and Bill Dapprich, Diann Walker, and Sue Yedley aided him. Dorothy Darnell did a marvelous job editing the yearbook and was assisted by Donna Le Master and Phyllis Worden. Dorothy Darnell was the worthy recipient of the DAR award. Miss Madge Iseminger did a great job directing our Senior Play‘‘You Can’t Take It With You’’, starring Judy Lathers, Benny Brose, Shelley Ferris, and Mike Burns. Forty-four Seniors were initiated into the Na- tional Thespian Society. Several Seniors sang in the A Capella Choir and the double octette. National Honor Society accepted more members of the great class of 1958 as did Quill and Scroll. Our class had Jackie Lamson heading the Girls’ Drum and Bugle Corps and Bob Howard leading the Ypsilanti High School Marching Band. Judy Harner placed first in the Interpretive Reading Contest and Katie Riley took third place in the Dramatic Speech Contest. Seventy boys went out for sports. Bill Dapprich brought home a second place state wrestling medal. Gary Dapprich also placed in the state wrestling meet. Our class won again, the float contest. Highest honors went to valedictorian Darold Rorahacher, Mike Burns, Mike Hopewell and Salutatorian Sharon Hutchins, As we look back on all the honors our class has won and the various activities we have par- ticipated in, we are proud and deeply grateful to be members of this great class. This is only the beginnning of the history of our class; for soon we will be applying our knowledge to achieve greater honors and attain higher goals, for we—the class of 1958—are stepping out into the world. Shite lory by Sharon Hutchins Members of the faculty, parents, and friends: In the name of the graduation class of nineteen hundred and fifty-eight, I welcome you. This is indeed a great occasion in our lives. It is a pleasure to have our parents and friends here as our guests. We wish to thank you for your encouragement, guidance, and understanding throughout the years. It is you, our parents and teachers, who have made this occasion possible. We have come to the first big step of our lives. Yesterday, we were children; tomor- row, we will be considered adults. We can now see the many sacrifices you, our parents and teachers, must have endured so that we could attain this goal. For four years we have studied hard to meet the high requirements of our school. We have tried to earn high grades and honors. In the past four years we have also been laying the foundation of our lives and of our future. We are now entering adulthood with confidence and a set of values by which to live. We sincerely hope that tonight you are feeling proud and satisfied that your efforts to give us the proper training, opportunities, examples, and character have not been in vain. While we must admit that we were not always ready, will- ing, and eager to learn, tonight we feel a deep sense of satisfaction as graduation draws near. Many of us for the first time are realizing the value of our high school education. Good moral character, personal efficiency, good habits, and a love for our neighbor and for God are a few basic fundamentals necessary to make our life worthwhile and prosper- ous. To build a life around these fundamentals is often difficult, but Iam sure every one of us will come to know these fundamentals as the steps on which we must climb to achieve our goals in the future years. In a few years the members of our class will be scattered throughout this country and other countries, but Iam sure that wherever we are, the memories of our high school days will live with us forever, and you, our parents, teachers, friends, and classmates will always be a part of those cherished memories. We sincerely hope that our future activities may bring honor to our class and a feeling of satisfaction to our beloved parents. From the bottom of our hearts we say, ‘ Thanks, Mom and Dad.’’ tz. 55 e™ tion By Judy Harner Parents, members of the faculty, and friends: There is a special class of people in the world, which includes all those males and females between the ages of twelve and twenty. The name given to this group is—teenagers. You become a member on your 13th birthday and depart on your 20th. The intervening years leave an indelible impression upon you. Whether you make the transition from one phase of your life to another successfully, is dependent upon the help and understanding you receive during the years when you are a teenager. During these years teenagers pass through many stages, beginning with giggling girls tottering around on their first pair of high heels and blushing boys stumbling awkwardly around the dance floor. Eventually the girls and boys vanish, however, and in their place 72 you have poised young women and confident young men. The change has taken place grad- ually, in spite of many obstacles encountered along the way. The years when you are a teenager are filled with excitement and frantic activity, but they are also difficult years, fraught with turmoil, disappointments, and sometimes the feeling that no one really understands you or cares about you, Many make mistakes, but with the guidance and support of their parents, teachers, and associates, they overcome their problems; indeed, they benefit from them. Others make mistakes and, lacking guidance and assistance, they cannot surmount their problems, but sink deeper and deeper into a tragic whirlpool of trouble and misunderstanding. You read about them in the newspapers. The majority of teenagers you don’t read about nearly as often. They’re the ones that go to the football games in the fall and root for their team . . . they’re at the J-Hop... they work on the school paper . . . maybe they participate in sports . . . march in the band . . . belong to a debate team . . . are members of Junior Achievement. . . are home- room officers . . . or maybe student directors for a play. It is these people who should receive the publicity; these teenagers and the hardworking people who support their ac- tivities and offer assistance and guidance. And when they are no longer teenagers, when they prepare to step across the. line into an adult world it is you, their parents, teachers, and friends who must recognize them as equals and pass on to them the cloak of responsibility which they will wear the rest of their lives. You have watched them grow-up—and I think, if you listen closely, you can hear them saying ‘‘Thank you, and God bless you.’’ Un ledictory by Mike Hopewell Parents, faculty, and friends of the class of ’58: Since there are three valedictorians this year, the subject of the valedictory— The Spirit of ’58—will be divided into three parts: loyalty, friendliness, and dependability. Loyalty has been defined as fidelity to a superior, or to duty, love, a cause, a princi- ple. ° People are continually searching for something in which to pledge their allegiance and place their loyalty. Life without loyalty is life without purpose and life without purpose is hollow—mean- ingless. Loyalty creates courage, determination, industry, and obediance. In the formation and development of this great nation, the watchword has been loyalty. It has resounded from those bleak hills of a winter in Valley Forge . . . from a tall, gaunt man, fusing one nation out of two causes by the strength of his determination and loyalty to purpose . . . to a bloody hill in a far away land where our young men proved their loy- alty with the supreme sacrifice. Loyalty has carried us through the trails of both war and peace and it will be the determining factor in our future. Loyalty is the backbone of every organization—of every undertaking. Loyalty has been a prime factor in the accomplishments of this group being honored here tonight. 73 As we, the Senior Class, look back on an enjoyable past and forward into an uncertain future, we realize that the future of each individual here will be determined to a great extent by the principles he chooses and by the degree with which he remains loyal to them, for loyalty gives purpose to each and every life. te ledictory by Darold Rorabacher Seniors, faculty, and friends: Another part of the spirit of the class of 1958 is its friendliness. In recent years machines have become more and more important. They have elimi- nated a great deal of work, both mental and physical. It is easy to see that machines are an essential part of our economy. However, people are still unique; for, though ma- chines can ‘‘think’’ faster, lift heavier loads, and do things with more accuracy, there is no machine yet invented which is capable of being friendly. Machines make possible a world with a high standard of living. Friendliness makes the world bearable. What a dreary place we would live in if we, and the people about us, were not friendly. Today, we often take friendliness from others for granted. We show, and we expect a friendly attitude from all the people we come in contact with. And just as the lack of friendliness makes a dreary world, the abundance of friendliness makes our world a happier, more pleasant place in which to live. Ypsilanti High School has always been a friendly school and I feel that the class of 1958 has proven to be an exceptionally friendly class. Our friendliness has shown up in the cooperation and teamwork in our sports and speech activities; we have shown our friendship to visiting schools; we have used our friendship to create smooth-running clubs and an efficient Student Council; our friendliness has shown itself in our classes and class meetings. This friendly attitude has added to the joy we received from our high school experi- ences. But it will not end here. It will help us in the days to come—in our neighbor- hoods, in our jobs, in our families, in all our relations with other people. And even more important, friendliness will help the torn and battered world into which we are now en- tering; for friendliness leads to the things this world needs most: sincerity, understand- ing, trust, and cooperation. Valedictory by Michael Burns Tonight you have heard two of the emblematic qualities of the Class of 1958, loyalty and friendship. Both of these are important facets in the character of high school youth. I speak on the third quality which adds immeasurably to each of these characteristics—the quality of dependability. For how many of us can consider one loyal to a cause or a trust if he is not dependable in the execution of such actions as his loyalty demands? How can we accept as a trusted friend a person upon whom we cannot depend? Dependability goes hand in hand with these other qualities which distinguish the Class of ’58, and yet it stands along as a separate and distinct mark of a good citizen. Is dependability an accepted trademark of youth? Not in the eyes of some. We hear daily of the condemnation of youth, particularly those of our own age, for their independa- bility. We stand accused of being undependable in the fulfillment of duties and responsi- bilities to our nation, to others, and to ourselves. We hear of the lazy teenagers, the ones idling through high school, and those violating our legal statutes. Their exploits are bannered across the newspapers. A good many people don’t read about the group of high school carolers singing at the hospital, the club of boys working for increased automobile safety, or the many boys and girls who represent their schools proudly in the various fields of extracurricular achievement. The undependable youth is publicized while the responsi- bile youth remains almost anonymous. You, our parents and friends, have believed in us and have taken a sincere interest in us. To those parents, teachers, and friends who have given us understanding, sympathy, counsel, and faith when we needed it most, we will forever be indebted. Particularly be- cause of their faith, we realize that our age does not have to apologize for the actions of a small minority. We can remain proud of our generation. Each of us has experienced and increased feeling of self-respect tnrough your trust in us. We can never fully repay you for the assistance which we have received throughout these years, although we have tried to show our appreciation by our dependability. This class record of trustworthiness in the community is an admirable one. You know of many instances of this; but there are also the countless unspoken of times when our class has recognized the great dependability of a fellow student. There is a distinct challenge and duty facing the youth of our generation in the tension- filled world of today. You can rest assured that we will respond to this challenge as Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote... So night is grandeur to our dust, So near is God to man. When Duty whispers low, ‘Thou must’ The youth replies, ‘I can.’ ”’ And so the Class of 1958 says farewell. For though we leave our world of the past with feelings of sadness and fond regret, we have learned well the paramount lessons of loyalty, friendship, and dependability and we greet our world of the future with anticipation and enthusiasm. “I’ve been noticing all evening how pleasant and charming she is to everyone. I’m told her name is Betty, and she works for the telephone com- pany. Will you introduce me?” Yes, Betty, through day-to-day training on her telephone job, has gained a great deal of poise and confidence—real assets to an attrac- tive, winning personality. When she started her job, Betty had no experience in telephone work. “There’s a girl I'd like to meet” But she was trained with other be- ginners by Michigan Bell’s friendly, understanding supervisors. Today Betty’s proud of her work; enjoys a fine salary, regular wage increases, and many new friends. What more could any girl ask in a job? Why not get in touch with us now? We'll be happy to tell you more about the variety of interesting telephone jobs from which you can choose. We'll be looking for you! MICHIGAN BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY A Good Place to Work 323 E.
