It is only through the cooperation of the association that this yearbook is possible. We are convinced that the future of Ypsilanti High School will be bright, for it is in the hands of an association with high hopes and ideals. AMministration and Faculty Mr. Norris G. Wiltse, Principal of Ypsilanti High School introduced Dr. Paul Emerich, the new superintendent, to the students, The administrators and faculty of the Ypsilanti High School offer leadership, guidance and en— couragement to all students. It is their aim to provide the best possible educational opportuni- ties which help assure success in life. Kesponsibility Rests With Chem The responsibility of maintaining adequate educational facilities, a competent staff of teachers, and an up to standard curriculum rests with the Board of Education. Planning for the educational needs of boys and girls in Ypsilanti takes a great deal of time and effort. The board serves without pay: there reward is the satis- faction which comes from the knowledge of a job well done. During the present school year two new junior high schools have been completed and work has been done to improve the high school building. Under the leadership of the new superintendent, Dr. Emerich, plans are being made to insure good education for students of the Ypsilanti Public Schools. ‘a Dr. Paul Emerich, Superintendent Front row (Left to right)-Mr. Richard Burlingame, Trustee; Mrs. Second row (Left to right)-Mr. Frederick J.

The years went by slowly at first, but the last few years of school passed rapidly. Finally they became seniors and members of the largest class to graduate from Ypsilanti High School and the first class to graduate under the new three year high school organization. They have succeeded in numerous things during their high school years, bringing forth many intelligent students, many capable athletes, and many leaders in other school activities.

The Juniors are hoping for the day when they will be Seniors of Ypsilanti High School. During the school year they have given more serious thought to their future than any other time in their school life. However the Juniors have entered whole heartedly into all the activi- ties of the school. Three officers of the Student Council, are members of the class of ‘ 61.’’ Along with the seniors, the juniors helped sponsor the Sophomore Reception, and the Senior Farewell was presented with the aid of the Sophomores. The success of the J. Hop can be credited to this class of 1961. The Juniors are rightfully proud of their class because of its accomplishment.

The Sophomore class has much of which to be proud. This class was not only classified as the largest in the senior high school, but many of its students ranked high in sports and other extra-curriculas acti- vities. Several of the sophomore boys have made varsity squads and the girls have done very well in interclass sports. The class will also be the first class to completely go through the senior high school under the new organization.

The Junior float, ‘‘Braves Ride the Rails,’’ won second place, as the Ypsi Express rolled over the Railsplitters. The Sophomores were awarded third place, with ‘‘Beat- Neck.’’ Bobby England is beating out a winning rhythm on the bongo drums.

Desire Ju Winning Fiual Game PP EF ws = Football Season Record For 1959 OPPONENT YPSILANTI Lansing Eastern 2 0 = Dearborn 2 7 Battle Creek Edsel Ford Lincoln Park Wayne Ann Arbor Melvindale The 1959 Campaign of the Ypsilanti Braves, while not successful in the line of victories, was in the development of teamwork. Many things hampered the bid of our new head coach, Mr. Bob Moffett, in his bid for a winning season. The injury jinks was ever present throughout the season and for the most part involved key players. Despite this, the hard work of the team throughout the season paid off in the final game with a decisive 32-0 victory over Melvindale. This win climaxed a 17 game losing streak for the braves and should be a good starting point for the 1960 campaign. Special thanks goes to Mr. Miller and Mr. Nicholas, assistant coaches for this season along with Mr. Elliot who gave time to help the team as the line coach.

Despite this the team worked hard throughout the year in an attempt to build good varsity prospects for next year. Most of the players showed improvement as the season progressed and many showed varsity ability. The little braves did not stand out in the winning col- umn, but did carry out their responsibility of train- ing future prospects for our following campaigns. The team worked hard throughout the season and all of this hard work paid off in the final game. Here, the little braves turned back the Melvindale team by a demanding 22-0 victory. The reserves were fortunate this season in having such fine coaching on the part of Carl Krieger and Tom Sibert. Many thanks goes to them for their time and effort spent.

The 1959 campaign for the Ypsi High Harriers proved to be very successful under the leadership of head coach, Mr. Lee, and cap- tain, Pat Mc Donald. The Harriers were undefeated in duel meet competition with a string of nine successive victories this season. Along with the duel meets, the Braves were entered in the Albion College Invitational which included twenty schools. The Braves finished on top with a comfortable margin of 65 points ahead of the third place team, Birmingham. In the regionals Ypsi again finished on top, this time with a margin of 48 points over Dear- born. In the state meet the Braves’ winning streak was stopped, but they still brought home a very honorable third place. The very outstanding running of Levi Hardwick was evident as he set three different course records this season. The success of this years team can be credited to a well balanced group of determined, hard workers.

Little Braves Learn Cricks of the Crade The 1959-60 campaign of the little braves was not successful in the winning column, but was important because of the experience and game knowledge acquired by these future varsity prospects. The Reserve Team this year was headed by a new coach, Mr. Nicholas. Coach Nicholas, along with the members of the team worked very hard throughout the season to build a better and stronger team. This was evident because of the improvements shown by the team as the season progressed. It seemed that in each game the little braves were trying harder and harder to win. This was displayed by their improved scoring and ball handling. In the latter part of the season the margins of the opposition soon found out that the points they wanted they were going to have to work for. The members of this year’s reserve team have learned and have been taught very helpful information which should be of great value to them when they make their bid for a varsity position.

The track team this year consisted of many returning letter- men and showed good promise of another successful season. The braves displayed their power to each opponent and finished on top in every duel meet except one. It was expected that the team would keep up this pace throughout the remainder of the season. The Braves, at present, are undefeated in league competition and they are assured of one of the top spots in the league. This season the team was under the leadership of a new head coach, Carl Krieger, who is a very fine trackman himself and had worked very hard in building a very fine squad.

This was evident in their firs nine games when the Braves were undefeated in all nine starts. This year, it was predicted that this team would complete the season with one of the best records.

The little braves have started their campaign victoriously with wins over Wayne and Romulus. The team is working very hard with the main purpose in mind of building future varsity ball players. The season schedule for this year will consist of eight ball games, which will give the players a chance to show their desire and improvements necessary for a good player. The good start by the little braves indicates that this will proba- ably be one of the best of seasons. Coach Nicholas approves of the showing made by the team in his first year as reserve coach.
