Ban Durlng this year probably no one group in our school has con tributed so much toward real school spirit as the band Under the baton of Mr Charles Yates the band has more than kept up its previously fine reputatron as a school morale builder Despite the complaints of Mr Frank Reed who declares every time the strains of a saxophone float into B 18 that he would like to see th music department moved across the street the students have enloyed the spirited atmosphere produced by our talented mus1c1ans They showed themselves versatile in the regular band activities of g1v1ng rousing assemblies for the Junior highs and AAHS enter taimng at such community functions as P T A meetings the Decor ation Day Parade and summer concerts and being a real source of pep at athletic contests Who can forget the band in full array at the basketball games? Something new was added this year when the band chartered a bus so that they could go and play at Lansing at the Sexton game As rewards for thetr efforts some band members won ratings in the music festival held at River Rouge These winners lncluded Davld Hlldinaer first in piano IoAnn Lyons third in flute Ann Emenck third in piano and Charles Meyers first in drum solo A good share of the credit for such a successful year is due to the skill of the officers Io Ann Lyons president Margaret Alex ander secretary Bud Marshall treasurer Ann Emerlck and Ioyce Alexander librarians and B1ll Penn student conductor The first semester was cllmaxed by a hayr1de that was a hay rlde and the second by a picnic at Whitmore Lake two dates which were constdered very special by band members 28 BAND Row 1 Ann Emenck Frank Teachout Edwin Taylor Dale Bock Florence Brtston Stephen Wood IoAnn Lyons How2 Gilbert Whltney Dan Dow Lyle Laughlin Iacqueline Mathews Eleanor Iaeger Ioyce Alexander Virginia Groomes Fred Thomas Alice Kaercher George Fisher Eliot Bird Charles Downer Row 3 Charles Meyers Robert Elliot Arthur McFadden Donald Otto Ioe Pryor Iames Baker Lots Lancaster Robert Maten Don Perkms Robert Wark Wal ter Schmid Margaret Alexander Row 4 David Hildxnger Pauline Pratt Betty Studenmater M Yates tBatonl PEP SQUAD Row 1 Darwin Woods Deana Lahde Marian Weinman Carol Kimpton MaryBelle Iames Wm nie Duckek Barbara Shankland Phyllis Hahn at football games, or the powerful pep band with its stirring effect Ly1e Stringer, 'David Schneideri - I , Y.

Football This year's varsity football team improved steadily throughout the season and came out on the long end of a string of victories. The team made their debut with Flint Central and bowed after a very hard fought battle The following week they traveled to Saginaw where Lady Luck befriended the Pioneers in a real heart breaker which was played in the rain and mud The next battle was with Ferndale and we more than avenged the defeat of last year From that game on until the final gun went off at the end of the season the boys in purple and white proved that they were fighting P10 neers The only really close game was with Lansing Eastern when the first team had to put their all in 1t to eke out a five point margin Four championship teams during the past six years' Thats the record Kip Taylor and Dobbre Drake have established in th halls of fame at Ann Arbor High Kip has signed a contract with Syracuse University and will help Clarence Munn who is from the University of Michigan coach football there It is with sincere regret that we bid him farewell and we want to assure him that his able work will linger long in our memories Kips place as head foot ball coach will be capably filled by Dobbie in the future This 1S no easy job but if there is anyone who has the ability it s Dobbie Four regulars Ed Gillespie LeRoy Etzel Hoy Weber and George Hilla were given berths on the All Five A team Gillespie and Etzel were also given honorable mention of some of the coveted state teams For the first time in the history of Ann Arbor High School the Pioneers placed five men 1n the All City Football team These all stars were Etzel Weber Koehler Hrlla and the flashy halfback and captain of this year s Five A champs Hank Platt Don Schneider was elected captain to lead our team to glory next year SCHEDULE Ann Arbor Flint Central Seprerrrber 2 1945 Ann Arbor Saginaw Arthur Hill September 2 1945 Ann Arbor Ferndale October 1945 Ann Arbor Lansing Sexton October 1945 Ann Arbor Battle Creek October 1945 Ann Arbor Lansing Eastern October 1945 Ann Arbor Iackson November 9 1845 FOOTBALL-'First Team Row 1 Dick Wagner, Dick Free' land, Don Schneider, Ed Gillespie, George Henry, Monte Hopkins, Dale Schroen, Walter Koehler, Roy Weber, Nuel Smock.
