This witty, intellectual jack-of-all-trades has returned to the local scene after an absence of two years which he spent gain- ing the right to be called Doctor. Dockstader was born in Arizona He offers two reasons for this 1 he wanted to be a westerner and 2 his mother hap pened to be there Due to illness in the family he was forced to move to Callfor ma where he shed his Indian s braids and reluctantly accepted the advantages of modern civilization Like many native Americans he proved to be a natural athlete in high school lettering in football and track He also became interested in Scout work and was named Boy Scout of the Year when he had scarcely over 90 merit badges It will be of some encouragement to the Doctor s Spanish classes to know that he did not care for the academic routine during his high school days and the only thing that kept him at his books was the pressure of two very determined aunts The Chief s main problem was English but by the time he had hnrshed college he had picked up a dozen different languages including apanese and Chinese He became inter ested rn the oriental dialects during a pre college venture to Hawaii where he noticed the striking similarity between them and the Indian tongues When he returned to the U S he entered Los Angeles unror College and after proving to himself that he had mastered his English difficulties he en roled as a history and Spanish major at Arizona State College where he made honors the football team a BA and an M A Affel' he completed tl'l1S PIIHSE of l'l1S mercial artist newspaperman public school teacher museum staff member, and finally 1n 1944 he hung his hat in a second floor Page apartment During hrs first five years here he served as a htstory and silver smithmg teacher riflery and wrestling coach and also left his mark for 11.1, fred Doc rladcr Ph D payer amid' a portion 0 ln: Indian doll collectron Crane plvolo apprehending wrong doers with the use of such Indian lore as running down the halls with one shoe off to give the impres sion of somebody walking In the spring of 1949 he bade farewell to Cranbrook to attend the American Culture department of Western Reserve University, where he received much praise for his Ph D thesis on Hopi Indian culture fAny day now he might be seen setting up a booth out side of the Assembly Hall to sell copies of volumenous work While working on his final paper he found time to continue his favorite hobby of silver smithing and acquired a first prize in the 1950 exhibition of the Cleveland Museum of Art for his silverwork The only thing that kept lum from capturing this coveted award the next year was a rule prohibiting any contestant from tak 1ng the top honors twrce so he settled for a second prize rn IQSI He returned to Cranbrook rhrs fall to take up the duties of an ethnoligist one who is engaged in the study of man his origin distribution peculiar characteris tics etc Noah Webster at the Institute of Science and part time Spanish master a Cranbrook Boys interested in American culture or for that matter practically anything else will find a haven in Dr Dockstaders first floor Page apartment P E C K S SLACKS Flannels and Gaberclrnes SWEATERS Slrp overs and Cardigans Phone MI 4 7724 Brrmrngham M I N T S IC E C R E A M I360 S Woodward Brrmrngham RECORDS ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES I62 Wesf Maple Ave Brrmrngham PHOTOGRAPHIC SUPPLIES BIRMINGHAM CAMERA SHOP I68 So Woodward Ave MI 4 05I0 KK 17 :re :re :re v' I' I ' . 4 , . , . . q U . . . , .

2 -..THEcRANE1-- Solufion of Sunday Service Problem ls Up To The Sfudenf After one month of late church services and the recent two weeks of early but drastically shortened chapel programs, the Church Cabinet is turn- ing to the students for recommendations for correction of this yearfs mixup in locations and times. The problem is this: last yearfs early', services, pre- ferred by the majority of students and held most often, have been replaced so far by a Hfamilyn service for residents of this area excluding the Cran- brook Institutions. This means that if Cranbrookians are to meet their Sab- bath obligations at Christ Church, they must attend the 11:00 A.M. service. For various obscure reasons this later service is often considered unpopular However, the Cabinet has recently developed the recent 9 30 chapel pro grams as a solution, these have aroused considerable comment pro and con Those who argue for this latter measure claim that it shortens otherwise dull services and allows sermons more of an interest to local age groups Those condeming the chapel programs state that the services are too short, that b placing them more on the scale of our week day services, they create much less religious atmosphere than that generated at Christ Church Another possibility too is that of afternoon and vesper services However, it goes without saying that these may prove undesirable for it appears to be a local axiom that the later the service, the more unpopular With all these possible solutions in mind, the Cabinet will soon distribute a poll to the student body, asking its preference in these matters It is vital that the right decision be reached, the outcome will directly affect you By wise thought in these matters, a f much more congenial situation may be established Lower School News PRO and CON as told' to polfer Frank Hur: Boosted by a 9 1 victory over Brook side s varsity squad the soccer team trav eled to Littlefield Playground to meet Peters of Birmingham Scoring in the hrst few minutes of play the iunior Cranes gained a lead which they never relinquished In the last half they added an insurance tally Don Twyman finished off two beautiful aggressive plays executed by the whole front line who received the balls from the backs Sig Snyder s defensive work played an important part in the victory Showing marked strength on offense the football team won its first contest with Detroit Country Day by a score of 27 6 Touchdowns were made in both quarters of the first half and again in the final period when the visitors scored in the closing minutes of the game The team appeared to have a strong ground attack but seemed to be weak in pass defense ohn Nagy was high scorer and leading ground garner scoring three of the four touchdowns with Tom Schad scoring the remaining tally Signal caller AI Butzel and runner Mike O Hara also aided the team to their decisive victory Playing their best game of the season the midget booters lost to the Oakmont Bluelackets a team rated second in the league by a score of 43 Behind by a score of 3 o the fast breaking line scored one in the last seconds of the half and two in quick succession during the third See LOWER SCHOOL NEWS col 3 uestion What do you thmle o Stu dent Servicer held zn the Chapel?
