Thanks To The Merchants

We'd hate to think what would happen to our paper if it wasn't for the Merchants of Harbor Springs. Whenever we need sup­port, who do we go to? The Mer­chants! They always help us and haven't let us down. Now let's not let them down, Kids! Let's give them ,all the !business, we can.

Gals, have you snagged a date? That all important Sadie Hawkins Dance is coming up November 12.

Dig out the cider jugs, the corn cob pipes, and the old rags for the costume.. We hear there is to be a prize for the best costume, an ORJCHiiDSTRA for square­dancin.g . and sm-oo-th, new rec­ords for round-dancing.

Sadie Hawkins Week !begins November 6. All dates that week · are to be by invitation by the girls. Vegetable corsages are in order for the dance. Any stray carrots or parsley makes for the corsage.

A program committee: Duane Rhine, Sally Powers, Louise Han­cock, Warren Haven, Pat Mar­shall, Dick Melching-is in charge of entertainment.

Tickets will <be sold in advance: 50c for couples, 3·5c for stags. See you at 8:00 sharp.

Drum Majorettes? lby Linda Thornton

We call them "drum majorettes'' but we never see them with a drum. Nevertheless, this group of girls still march in front of our school band. :Most of the girls have been in training for two years and are just beginning their advance work in t wirling their batons.

The girls who are "drum maj­orettes" are: Lynn Dee Wells, Mary Lowry, Sue Ellen Langar­den, Rhae Kleinhenz, Judy Mit­chell, Sharon Wilson, Sally P ifer, Betty Radle, Annita Pontius.

Mr. Clark tells us the gir ls will probably 1be at the /basketball games, but a plan has not yet 'been set up to decide w hat they will do. Mr. Clark also hinted that some good news is to be ex­pected soon, which will please the girls and the townspeople. We don't have any idea what it is but we hope it is good.

Keep up the good work, girls, we hope to see you at the bas­ketball games.

"Those Good Old Days"

by Linda Thornton

Throughout the year, members of the Journalism and Speech Class are required to interview several people as part of their course in Journalism. Mel John­ston, Bernie Kaltz and Burt Lamkin presented ·us with our first victim, Mr. Erwin, who kindly consented to leave his work to come to school to be in­terviewed by our inquiring re­porters.

Since all three of the reporters are on the football team, it was only natural that they should ask aJbout football. Mr. Erwin told us about the first football team that Harbor Springs had. It seems that there were only two players who had ever seen a football be­fore. There /Were no forward passes and very few rules. The cheerleaders were musclemen who came to see that the game was all fair and square (in their favor). The only two games they played that season were with Pe­toskey and Mancelona.

M~. Erwl.n's grandfather came to Harbor Springs to settle, along with other Civil War Veterans,

.Spnngs was very marme con- 1 scious in the early . days. There Activities were two lumber mills and most of the trading was done .by wat­er. Eleven passenger tboats came into Harbor Springs every day. The early buildings downto.wn were built up off of the streets because the area was very damp and swampy. Harbor Point was open for a longer period of time and the casino was the center of most of the activity The farm people had to provide .their own amusement, but the townfolk had quite a few types of entertain­ment, such as skating, ice horse races, sliding down Judd Hill, ski races and ice cream and cake so­cials, which were quite the thing in those days.

We hope Mr. Erwin enjoyed the interview as much as we did, and thank Bernie, Mel and Burt for 'bringing M~. Erwin to school to talk to us.

Have you noticed the specimen in some of the boxes along the back wall of the Biology room? In the first .box there is a small animal called a Hamster. Al­though he bites he is quite harm­less. This animal is found in parts of Europe and Western Asia. He belongs to Frank Granstra. Frank raises Hamsters as a hobby and has ·several.

In the next ·box is the skin of a lizard. The lizard, so it seems, had got tired of his skin and of living in the box, so has taken a walk and not returned. If any­one in school finds a lizard walk­ing around, would you please re­turn it to the Biology room.

There is also a lbalanced aquar­ium and different kinds of plants.

We hope that the Biology class will be able to !bring more of these. plants and animals to school for the whole student body to see.

"In The Good Old Summer Time"

·By Bernie Kaltz Last summer I spent a good

share of my time working at the Harbor .Sp11ings Dairy. My job started June ao,th and lasted un­til Sept. 13th.

Every morning, Sundays in­cluded, I would crawl out of bed between 6:<10 and 6:30 am and hurry to the dairy, load the wag­on, and get under way for Har­bor ~oint. What a schedule!

Bill Perry was my assistant, or maY'be it was the other way a­round. As third helper we had a very "gentle", I use the word advisedly, horse named Prince. On several occasions Prince be­came distuPbed and ran away, once wrecking a buck-board and spilling all the milk. He didn't cry over the spilt milk either.

The entire :mute of Harbor Point and Glenn Drive took us

four hours. We had sixteen cases of emp:ty milk bottles to return and unload at the dairy, then take P r ince to the barn-before we could go to lunch.

Every fourth day I got dish­pan hands from washing ·bottles. The bottles were put in the wash­er which had an endless chain that took out the clean ones. One could easily fall asleep watching the endless amount of dirty bot­tles go in and clean ones come out. There were at least 100 cases.

While the work wasn't hard, there was a sameness to it and I welcomed that afternoon off when I could go to the lbeach for a swim.

8th grade girls-Speech is sil­ver, but minding ones own busi­ness is 1·8-karat.
