Text from Pages 1 - 128 of the 1961 volume:

— — — — — — a — Ypsilanti High School Ypsilanti, Michigan The Y.H.S. Yearbook is sponsored by the Ypsilanti High School Student Council. This year certainly went fast, And for some it will sadly be their last. How keen the competition was In fall, winter, and spring sports, And showed the spirit and fight That every boy put forth. Songs from the choir, marches From the corps and band Brought many a loud cheering, Clapping hand. The activities and clubs brought Much enjoyment too, They made all the hardships of homework Worth living through. The teachers aided us in many A different way, Made our lives exciting and Work seem like play. The sophomores, juniors, and seniors Got along so very well, And will always remember each other As “‘pretty swell.’ These thoughts will last through many A frosty December, Because | can look back and say How well these things... . | REMEMBER - iia 2 ae a3 33 5 a3 5 iad TABLES OF CONTENTS DIVISION Student Life Boys’ Sports Girls’ Sports Organizations Administration and Faculty Underclassmen DEDICATION This has been a year in which many high honors have been received by some of our athletic teams, musical organizations and other groups. Ypsilanti High School is proud of the State Championship honors which were won by our wrestling team and the cross-country team. Also, we are justly proud of ithe highest ratings received by our Concert Band and A’ Cappella Choir. Extra effort on the part of students, teachers, and coaches have result- ed in these honors. In the fields of speech, dramatics, journalism, and other scholastic activities, our students have been a credit to our school. Teamwork of adminis- tration, students, and faculty fostered a climate in which good work has been accomplished. We, therefore, dedicate this yearbook to all students and teachers who have done their best to bring honor to our school. The Y.H.S.

Victory Eludes Braves Five Quarterback Bob Arvin and fullback Joe Arcure demonstrate one of the handoffs that they worked so well under game pressure. Captain Bill Madden (75) pursues the Ann Arbor ball carrier. The Braves’ 1960 football season was ‘‘almost’’ a success. Ypsilanti High lost four games by the narrow margin of one touchdown, while a fifth game ended in a tie score. In the season’s debut, the Braves looked terrific in pouncing a strong Romulus team 39-0. Unfortunately, the team was not abl e to regain its early form as it met suc- cessively stronger teams. The squad, ably coached by Mr. Robert Moffett and his assistants, Mr. Dale Nicholas and Mr. Karl Elliot, met some of the top ranked teams in the state including Battle Creek, Ann Arbor, and Lincoin Park. The Melvindale game, last of the season, was a good example of the teams desire to win and the bad breaks that plagued them all season. Near the end of the fourth quarter, the score was 0-0 in a hotly contested battle when Ypsi suddenly drove 30 yards for a touchdown. However, the play was called back and the ball was taken over by the opposition who was able to score in the closing minutes to win 6—0 — and so went the luck of the Braves in 1960.

The 1960 record of the Reserve Football team, un- fortunately, does not show the long hours and hard work that these fellows put into the sport. Every night after school, under the able coaching of Tim Sihert and Ken fundamentals of football. Throughout the season, signs of progress were definitely noticed. Many of these players will be welcome additions to the varsity next year. Unlike most schools in our area who have had highly advanced junior high school football programs for several years, we are just beginning our program. Thus, for the time being, the junior varsity must concern itself with learning the basic rules of the game and prepare them- selves for the future victories that are sure to come tc such a hard-working group. Team Effort Wins State Championship Randolph Brewer, Kyle Freeman, John Husted, Ronnie Gillum, Ernie Gillum, Bob Goosby, Ron Allen, Coach Richard Lee. Co-captains Ronnie and Ernie Gillum proudly dis- play the regional and state trophies which were won by the hard working cross-country team. Mr. Lee the team's able coach brought his team up to form for the big one, the State meet. The cross country team climaxed its season this year by outdistancing several strong teams and captur- ing the all-important State Championship. Co-captain Ron Gillum led the Braves by placing 13th and was followed closely by Randolph Brewer, Co-captain Ernie Gillum, Ron Allen, and John Husted. Coach Lee’s Harriers had a few problems during the duel meet season and wound up 2nd place in the league standings. The Braves, however, made a strong surge during the latter part of the season to win the Thurston Invitational, Regional, and most important, the highly prized State Championship.

(Second row): Co-Captain, Bob Arvin, Joe lum, Bill Bedford, Allan Bastian, Dennis Mannisto, John Cur- Arcure, Don Harrison, Ken Walker, Co-Captain Norman Taylor. The Ypsilanti High School Wrestling team out- distanced all their opponents in winning the State Championship by a margin of twenty points. Mr. Waterman s grapplers entered the tournament as underdags to a powerful team from Lansing Sexton; however, Ypsi made such a tremendous showing that the title was virtually sewed up at the conclusion of the semi-final matches. Ypsi scored a total of 68 points, Lansing Eastern 48, and Lansing Sexton 47. ‘ Mr. Waterman brought his team through an out- standing dual meet season by winning fifteen contests and losing only one (Lansing Sexton, 25-23). In addition to the dual meet record, the wrestlers also won the Huron Rouge League Championship ond the Regional Championship. The wrestling championship, plus the Cross Country Title, which was won last fall, combine to make this year, 1960-61, the greatest year, $ A N _ h sportswise, that Ypsilanti High has ever had. Bob.

During the 1960-61 season, six varsity records fell. Jim Seitz, butterfly; Dick Greene, breast- stroke and individual medley; Dennis Deck, 200- yard and 400-yard freestyle; and the medley relay team set new varsity records. These outstanding performances indicated that this year’s team was one of the best in the school’s history. Co-Captain, Jim Seitz, surges home in his top event, the butterfly. Jim also placed in the State Meet. This year’s swimming team, under the able guid- ance of Coach Ron Munson, was tied for first in the League dual meet competition and was barely nosed out by Edsel Ford for the League Championship, First row: Ivory Oliver, Roger Rendell, Julius Helm, Roy Com- Second row: James Williams, Roland Smith, Mike Bass, stock, John Weston, Kyle Freeman, Coach, Dale Nicholas.

Under the tutoring of Mr. Dale Nicholas, the team turned in many great performances, but was un- able to maintain a consistent pace. Coach Nich- olas is in his first year as head coach at Ypsi High. Roy Comstock, a senior, was high point man for the year and a consistent high scorer. Three sophomores, Mike Bass, Leo Kinsel, and Tom Hall, turned in some good performances for the Braves. Coach Nicholas feels that these boys will form the nucleus of future teams. ; Four members of the team are shown in the center of the court. Seniors Roy Com- stock, Julius Helm, and Roland Smith along with Kyle Freeman, a junior, formed part of the starting line-up for much of the season.

The reserve had to over come the the loss of the outstanding sophomore players to the varsity. Coach Tom Sibert drilled his boys into a well- knit team so that in the latter parts of the sea- sons the Reserves were really hot. In fact, this team which lost to Ann Arbor early in the season came back to beat them in an exciting re-match, With this kind of material coming up, Ypsilanti should soon have an outstanding basketball team.

Some of the team members worked through the winter months and their efforts have been ably demonstrated by some of the outstanding times that have been turned in during the winter season. Mr. Richard Lee, veteran track coach, assembled one of the best 880-yd. relay teams in this section of the country. The relay team made an excellent show- ing at the Mansfield (Ohio) Relays. The Braves scourged the Huron-Rouge League with sprinters Ray Patterson, and Ivory Oliver, and quarter-milers Mickey Greer and Frank Sayre. The thinclads were red-hot in the Regional Meet and one of the outstanding teams in the perenially strong State Meet. Mickey Greer demonstrates a “blindpass”” to Frank Sayre. This was the technique used on the 880-yd relay team. (Front row, | to r): Mgr. Chuck Ash, Dave Blackmere, Ron Keeter, Coach Bob Moffetr. (Third row): Phil Hagood, Tom Hoffman, Capt.

Bob Varsity Produces Top Athletes After trying for the Huron-Rouge League championship last spring, the Varsity team showed real promise for another successful year. With thirteen lettermen returning, the team looked strong as it won its first three games, including a coveted 10-3 victory over Ann Arbor. The fine coaching of head coach, Bob Moffett, coupled with the desire and alertness of the team mem- bers, produced a team of which Ypsi High can really be proud. Co-Captain Wayne Parsons catches as Julius Helm faces the opposing pitcher. Coach Munson gives Dan Britton a few pointers as Gary Stout bats. Leo Kinsel has just pitched one of his outstanding games for the reserves. Reserves Activities Important (Front row, | to r): Ben Burgin, Bob Cain, Ron Seamans, Vic Casselberry,Ken Cunningham.

Everyone ended up with sev- eral aches and pains never had before, but contented minds after losing a few of those extra pounds. Jackie Julien shows underclassmen how its done! That last breath! SPRING’S HERE FOR G. A. C. Everything went to the birds, or “bird- ies’ so to speak, when badminton got started. This was one sport where no one’s eyes wandered at passers-by. Every girl became a skilled marksman and couldhit a bull’s eye with their “‘birdies”’ and rackets. “A bird flew...” Baseballs were flying every which way in Prospect Park when our girls’ got behind the bats Everyone had a great time getting dirt into their tender hands, and yelling at the top of their lungs. There It Goes! ORGANIZATIONS AND CLUBS Student Council Made Year Outstanding The student council has had a very active year. One of their main projects was the purchase of a new flag for the school. The annual sucker sale to ‘‘Help Lick Polio’, and a dance to raise money for the Cancer Fund were held. The council sponsors all activities in the school including the school publica- tions, speech and dramatic activities, the clubs, and our annual magazine sale. The members are elected each year in the spring. The Y.H.S. council participates in a league council four times in which the various school problems are are discussed. Phyllis Baker was the league council’s secretary this year. Miss Murray works hard as advisor. The new flag is put up for the first time. i} The students receive awards for magazine sole.

All School Play Provides The three weirdies Carolyn Schindler, Margie Hronek, Steve Taylor — provided a humorous surprise. ; ; ; | Pat et Sys St Se Those who were not able to see this year’s all-school play missed one of the most unusual plays ever to be presented at Y.H.S. The ‘‘Ghoul-Friend’’ was an intri- guing mixture of humor and mystery. It all starts when the lovely and legendary Marina suddenly comes wander- ing from the bottom of the lake one night. This and the appearance of the three wierdies is just too much for the hilariously superstitious maid, Daphne. Bad goes to worse until the ‘‘Monster of Lonesome Lake” is finally captured, A matinee performance was presented to the East and West Junior High Schools. Their reaction and the reac- tion of the high school audience was a true indication of the success of the play which was produced under the direction of Miss Iseminger and the production staff.

Y. HH. 8S. Seniors Produce The audience enjoyed a delightful comedy which was produced by the class of 61. Carolyn Shindler played the wide-eyed husband — seeking just-out-of-college career girl who tries to meet all of the qualifications for 3ruce Doll who played the can’t-take-life-or-girls-seri- ously younger brother of Bob Arvin who played the stiff- necked all-business head of animportant Madison Avenue advertising agency. The play livened up as the career went after the business man much to the dismay of sev- eral, rather skeptical girls who had already tried it.

The members of Thespians this year produced the All-School Play, and the Senior Play. They also helped with the assembly skits and any make-up that had to be done for them. Some of the members also helped with the productions of the Ypsilanti Players. as bookholders, on make-up, and on other crews. The Thespians held two formal initiations during the year; one in the winter, and one in the spring. It is required that each person have a total of 100 hours of work on the school productions before he can join. The best Thespian awards were presented to Olivia Sample and Jerry Anderson. These were given to the Thespians with the largest number of honor points. a |. ¢ 8 a (Front row): Sue Brose, Olivia Sample, (Vice-Presi- Jerry Deck, Bob ickering, Regina D'Amico, Kevin dent); Rosalie Berry, (President); Dale Blakemore, Gralton, Diane Slough, Marggy Rulon, Ray Bates, (Secretary); Maggie Steel, (Treasurer); Miss !semin- Jim Goodsman.

Every Monday night, the Junior Engineering Tech- nical Society met to discuss and work on their var- ious science projects. Each boy was free to work on the thing which most interested him. Some of these projects include an electronic computor, an elec- tronic bass fiddle,1 pulse jet engine, and a negative ion generator. The boys visited the Arial labs in Ann Arbor where they watched aviation research. They also saw the Enrico-Fermi Reactor in Monroe. The club is open to anyone including girls wh would be called missles instead of jets.

(Third The Honor Society, composed of the school’s most NATIONAL intelligent and active members, selected their program for the year as ‘‘Service to Others.’’ Each member was expected to give service to the school at all times. As a club, they accomplished much toward their goal. The assembly for the United Fund Drive was sponsored by the Honor Society and was a great success. As another part of their program, the society sponsored some of the noon dime dances. Proceeds were given to the polio fund. After all the work was done, the club took time off to see ‘‘Music Man”’ in Detroit. In May, everyone helped out to make a progressive dinner a memorable ex- perience. Led by Mrs. Lockwood, the society contributed a lot of time and effort for the school and community. (Fron t row): Maggie Steele, Shirley Mongiat, Dale Blakemore, Thorold.

The French Club members enjoyed a ry} Christmas dance party. The French Club had one major change this year in that the members had to ‘‘try out.’’ Stories in French were given to each person according to his ability. Then questions, about the story, were asked in French by Miss Slade, the advisor, and the student had to respond in French. The club saw several movies on not only France but the rest of Europe. Several lectures were given by foreign students. This was enjoyed tremendously by the club members. The club’s annual Christmas party was a gala affair with French Bingo and Dancing. Prizes were given to the winners. The annual French Club dance was sponsored by the Frenchmen who decorated the gym in a French theme. Naturellement!

The Spanish Club provided an opportunity for in- creased knowledge of the Spanish language and custums. The members studied the different Fiestas of the Span- ish and actually observed the Christmas Fiesta in a modified way. All except the religious customs of the holiday were carried out. Pan-American Week was observed by the members through displays which were set up by and for the stu- dents. The club earned money by selling candy. The program of the club was enhanced by various speakers who had traveled to Spain or South America. Miss Jacobs included pictures with her talk on Portugal and Majorca which gave members an opportunity to see the countries and ask questions about them. -_ . ; N , tar Mai Cc. v° Pia oe (Front row): Ivy Usher, Carol Mills, Ruth Ann Borton, Sharon Yager, Dennis Parker.

Later, approximately forty of the girls became cadet teachers at the various schools in the community. Here they received actual experience and helpful guidance in teaching methods. This club is open to all and provides an excellent opportunity for students interested in teaching. To the pleasure of all the students, the club sponsor- ed noon hour dances and the Valentine’s Dance, which provided many hours of enjoyment. Several students attended a workshop at the Univer- sity of Detroit and at Eastern Michigan University. Also two members attended the Representative Assembly at Saint Mary’s Lake. Here the state officers were selected and the following year’s program was planned. At the end of the year, a dinner was held honoring the depart- ing Seniors.

Speakers from different churches spoke to the members. More talks given also by several missionaries included facts about the work and life of a missionary and the people with whom they worked. One program consisted entirely of music. Students brought their favorite reli- gious records to be enjoyed by all. Another activity was a visit to the Howard Street Mission in Detroit which gave the members an invaluable experience. Several panel discussions were held. One in partic- ular gave students a chance to express their beliefs and fo share their difficulties. The club met once a week at noon, and being interdenominational, everyone was invited.

Over a two-day period, students from high schools all over the state tried to solve the problems of the nations of the world in a mock United Nations session. Some of the questions considered were those of enlarging the Security Council, the Congo situation, and aid to underdeveloped coun- tries. After a banquet, everyone attended a fun-nite at which they played volleyball, golf, badminton and a variety of other sports. A dance was held afterwards. They returned with a wonderful experience behind them. Dr. Jorge Andrade, from Venezuela fascinated the members at one of their regular meetings, with a talk about his native country.

F.H.A. provided opportunities for students to have additional experiences in planning and carrying out activities related to homemaking. Some of the goals strived for are to encourage democ- racy in home and community life, to work for good home and family life for all, to foster the development of creative leadership in home and community life, to pro- vide wholesome individual and group recreation, to fur- ther interest in Home Economics. As a money-making project, the club held a bake sale which proved very successful. The girls carried on a very worthwhile Home Safety Program which would be valuable to anyone. Another important service pro- vided by the club was the maintenance of the paper machines in the halls for two months. A very nice Christmas Party provided the members with an enjoyable holiday festivity. Any person is eligible for membership that is either taking homemaking or that has had it previously. School's Top Athletes Make Up Varsity Club A s one of their projects, the Y.H.S. Varsity Club took films of all this year’s sports activities and spliced them together to make one continuous movie. This is the first time that anything like this has been done. Sergeant-at-Arms, Jim Seitz, had a rough time keeping all those boys quiet at meetings, but one thing in his favor was that everytime a person talked out of turn a five cent fine had to be paid. These guys don’t fool around! The members also enjoyed a Fun Nite with the G.A.C. as their guests. After the sports, everyone danced. Believe it or not these fellows are actually good at not only volleyball, but badminton too! The Fun Nite brought them down to the girl’s level of sports but they seemed to enjoy it all.

Quill and Scroll is an honorary society for those students who have excelled in journalistic effort. One must be at least a junior and in the upper third of his class. Some of the aims of the society are to inspire the members to greater effort, obtains greater recognition of journalism work on the part of students, school officials, and com- munity, and brings the student and instructor into contact with staffs all over the country and throughout the world. Members of the Quill and Scroll bring to the students of Y.H.S. a fine newspaper and yearbook. Miriam Peters and Dale Blake- more plan the initiation this spring.

They also participated in several local parades during the year including the Memorial Day Parade which was the last appearance for the senior members of the Corps. The 3rd Annual Senior Banquet was the initial Winter social activity held near Christmas. The Junior and Sophomore members presented a program of sing- ing and other entertainment. Then they gave each of the Senior girls a humorous gift to remember their four years in the corps.

After an exciting busy week at Interlochen learning new marching technics, the band displayed their talents at the half-time and pre-game football shows. The band also added zest and color to local parades. Thirteen events won ‘‘superior”’ ratirigs in the District Solo and Ensemble contest. The concert band set a new record by receiving four ‘‘superior’’ ratings in the District Band Contest. These are both unusual but well earned accompli sh- ments. The season reached its peak with the presentation of the Annual Spring Concert. The Military Ball high-lighted the soc ial activities; held at East Junior High on Janvu- ary 26, it was a great success.

As freshmen, we were led by Miss Teressa Lemmon, our class ad- visor; during our sophomore year we found our leadership in Mr. William Dusbiber; and in our junior year we were helped by the Assistant Principal, Mr. Hodley Cox; during our concluding year of high school, Mr. Leland Randall was our senior class advisor. During our high school days, the ‘‘Class of 1961’’ actively participated in the Student Council, as its officers and representatives. We are proud of the many boys who have taken an increasing interest in sports, and the large number who were members of varsity teams. We have all taken interest in the numerous extra curricular activities, including: interclass sports, Sem staff, language clubs, the All School Plays, debate, Forensics, writing con- tests, Thespians, Quill and Scroll, National Honor Society, Yearbook staff, JETS Club, Future Teachers of Amer- ica, Future Homemakers of America, and many others. In the field of music, our class has been represented in the A'Cappella Choir, Girls’ Glee, the Ypsilanti High School Marching Band, the Ypsi-Aires, commonly referred to as the “‘Dance Band, and the Girls’ Drum and Bugle Corps. Each year for homecoming our class has taken an active interest and have been represented by a float. As sophomores, we received third place; as juniors, we received second place; and as seniors, we were awarded first prize. We the “Class of 1961” are proud to say we attended Ypsilanti High School, and Ypsilanti High School is proud to have graduated such outstanding students, athletes, and citizens. ADAMICK, STEPHEN T.
