Gaily bedecked in green and white capes, the members of the Ushers' Club form one of the school's most active service clubs. Organized in 1938 this group in the short span of three years has made itself an indispensable unit of the East Detroit High School. This has been made possible by a very cooperative group of students working under the close supervision of Sponsor Mrs. Rena Van Fleet and Head Usher Jack Landon. At any movie, play, dance, basketball game, wrestling meet, assembly, or pep meeting, the ushers are always on the job helping to make your visit more enjoyable. Members of the Ushers' Club must maintain a C average in their school studies in order to keep active membership.

As its name implies, the Library Club is composed of a group of students working in the library under the com- petent guidance of Mrs. Eva Hudgins, school librarian. The aim of this club is to serve the faculty and the student body by assisting them in locating books, maps and various other sources of reference material. In doing this type of work the members gain actual experience in the routine work necessary for maintaining a systematic, well-organized library. The student body of East Detroit High School should be very appreciative of this group of students who work so that your work will be made easier for you. DEBATE TEAM First Row: Helen Shokaluk, Meryl Smalstig, Ruth Wilde, William Ryan, Ralph Scott, Mr. George Moroz Coach. The East Detroit debaters started their season with bril- liant victories over Roseville and Melvindale, and the debate squad looked forward to a successful season. However, they suffered a setback at the hands of a strong South Lake High School team in their next debate, and dropped the final de- bate to Ann Arbor High School when a consolation decision was cast by the judge in favor of Ann Arbor. The brunt of the Shamrock debating was carried on by the veterans Ruth Wilde, Bill Ryan and Ralph Scott. A new-comer to debating, Helen Shokaluk, participated in two scheduled matches, and her work was invaluable in the first two vic- tories. Ruth Wilde, Ralph Scott, and Helen Shokaluk will be lost to the squad by virtue of graduation which leaves Bill Ryan as the only veteran debater around whom to build next year's squad.
