VOLUME 4 1959 “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it will be opened.” EDSEL FORD HIGH SCHOOL DEARBORN, MICHIGAN This front view of the school has become symbolic of EF. Its arches are traditional themes, and the court has proved use- ful during warm weather. This is one of the two enclosed courts on the grounds of Edsel Ford. During the warmer season, this is a favorite short cut taken by students to classes.

Mr. Anthony J. Lawski, principal of Edsel Ford High School, has the responsibility of the building, the grounds, the students and the over-all educational pro- gram. He sees that the program is carried out and that necessary improvements are made. Teachers who secure a position on the staff are first screened by Mr. Lawski and are also under his supervision. To achieve the goal of a good school serving students and the community. Mr. Lawski and his staff constantly seek ideas for improving morale and a community spirit among students. Mr. Lawski also wishes students to assume more and more respsonsibilily as they go through high school, not only for their own conduct, but also in helping to govern the school community. Mr. Lawski has his BA degree from Michigan State Normal College and received his Masters' Degree at Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. In 1936. he came to Dearborn to teach social studies and guidance at Edison Junior High School. After teaching at Edison he moved to Dearborn High School where he taught social studies and psychology. He later became assistant in curriculum to Mr. Mills, Assistant Super- intendent in charge of the high schools and community college. Mr. Lawski was appointed chairman of the original EFHS curriculum planning group. He was then chosen to be principal of Edsel Ford High School because of his background and experience. Mr. Lawski's job can be summed up by saying that his responsibilities include the over seeing and manage- ment of the entire building and grounds, the selection and. working with teachers and other personnel in the building, assuming leadership in the improvement of the educational program, the interpretation and enforce- ment of all school policies, working with the superin- tendent and other central office personnel, working with the North Central Association and the University of Michigan to maintain the accredited position of the high school, working with parents, particularly in inter- preting school programs and policies for them. Much of his work is delegated to the two assistant principals and other personnel in the building, but he handles directly all matters of curriculum, matters having to do with school board and central office relations, teach- er relations and relations with the public. Maintenance, Staff At Edsel Ford Mr. Willard Thornley and Miss Peggy Neale talk over the schedul- ing of activities for next year. Mr. William Young, assistant principal, is in charge of student personnel work. As part of his responsibility he enforces school policy, rules and discipline. Among his many other duties, which are connected with student personnel work, are scheduling classes and keeping a record of individual attendance and tardiness. Mr. Young also works with the bus company on the bus schedules. Like the rest of the personnel at Edsel Ford, Mr. Young meets the parents of Edsel Ford’s students when it becomes necessary. He works with the various grade level counselors in performing his functions. Mr. Young attended Hillsdale College where he re- ceived his BS degree in psychology. He then went to the University of Michigan and received his ME degree. At the present time Mr. Young is attending Wayne State University where he is working toward a doctor's degree. Before going to the University of Chicago as one of the original members of the planning group of our curri- culum, Mr. Young taught at Fordson High School for three years. In 1955 he became assistant principal of EFHS. Mr. Young states, that what ever action he takes he aims at the best interests of the individual students and of the school as a whole. Mr. Willard Thornley, assistant principal, is in charge of general building management and student activities. He has the responsibility of arranging for furniture, equipment and supplies. He also schedules building facilities and assists with the budget. Securing substitute teachers also falls under his direction. Mr. Thornley sponsors the Student Council and supervises all club activities. He is also in charge of the daily bulletins. Mr. Thornley received his BA at Eastern Michigan and then received his MA at the University of Michigan. After finishing college he taught at Lake Shores High School, Edison Junior High School and Dearborn High School. After being part of the original planning group of our present curriculum, Mr. Thornley was appointed assistant Drincipal of Edsel Ford. Mr. William Young discusses with Kathryn Donegan her attend- nee record. 1 Art Teachers Help Pupils In Creative Work mmm Increasing the student’s ability to express himself in a creative manner and giving practical experience for future life are the purposes of the art department. Work- ing toward this end, clay, charcoal, copper, paint and wood are the basic tools used. Students who elect art as a class begin their art ex- perience with chalk, charcoal, paint, clay, wood blocks and wood. Art II presents students with problems of working with clay heads, enamel, ink and linoleum blocks. In the next year wood blocks, clay, silver and the soldering machine are used in their work. In still more advanced classes, pupils work with charcoal, paint, metal and photographic prints. Mrs. Marion Carson, department chairman, Mr. Robert Ferguson, Mr. Tom Hire and Mr. Richard Laing help students gain experience in creative art. These teachers teach both art electives and assist the F.nglish teachers in the humanities classes. Miss Carson helps students with their projects. Art teachers, Mr. Robert Ferguson, Mr. Tom Hire, Mr. Richard Laing and Miss Marion Carson, hold a conference. Miss Marion Carson gives advice to Betty Deck and Cecilia Bondy concerning their future art projects. Pupils Learn Job Training In Business Ed Student development of the proper skills and attitudes necessary in gaining adequate employ- ment in bookkeeping, clerical, retailing and steno- graphic fields upon graduation is the major aim of the Business education department. Training along the lines to which students are best suited, according to their abilities and de- sires, is afforded each student as a part of his class work. To prepare students for work after graduation, life-like situations are used. Students are given work and progress at their own speed. Another way students are able to obtain experience is through the co-op program, headed by Mr. Rich- ard Feusse, of the business education department. Mr. Bernard Barnett, Mr. Robert Evans, Mr. Richard Feusse, Mr. Neil Goodbred, Mr. Albert May, department chairman, Mr. Kenneth Ripple and Mr. Robert Young are the teachers in the business education department. Business administration instructors of Edsel Ford are: Mr. Kenneth Ripple, Mr. Robert Young. Mr. Richard Feusse, Mr. Alebrt May and Mr. Neil Goodbred. Mrs. Lois Denton takes over Mr. Albert May's, her critic, shorthand class. Driver Training Instructors Promote Safety Mr. William Levantrosser, Mr. Donald Rathbun. Mr. Norman Tomassini. Mr. Bernard Barnett. Mr. David Frye and Mr. Warren Rhodes check safety precautions in the car. Drivers’ education has for its purpose the training of good drivers by teaching the basic fundamentals ol good driving. These include both the physical and the mental aspects of operating an automobile. The physi- cal aspect emphasizes driving skills, control of the car and procedures in case of an emergency. Emotional stability, the ability to control one’s temper, and willing- ness to obey rules and regulations for safe driving are part of what is referred as the mental or psychological aspects of good driving. Edsel Ford was the first Dearborn school to have a drivers’ training area off the streets. That is, it was the first to have a special section for teaching of drivers' training instead of having to learn and practice on the side streets. The state of Michigan requires thirty hours of class work, ten hours of supervised instruction on the training area and one hour of supervised instruction on the road. Mr. David Frye, Mr. Warren Rhodes and Mr. Nor- man Tomassini are regular drivers’ education teachers, however, many other Edsel Ford teachers are qualified to teach in this area and help out when there is need for help. Such help is provided in the present semester by Mr. Bernard Barnett, Mr. Thomas Barrett, Mr. William Levantrosser and Mr. Donald Rathbun. Mr. Warren Rhodes teaching students how to handle cars skillfully. Foreign Languages Increase Understanding Miss Helene Wilson and Mr. Frank Damiano discuss new methods of teaching languages. Mr. James Ankenbrandt and Mrs. Mary Jane Smith listen to new language records. One of the objectives of the foreign lan- guage department is to prepare students for further language courses to be taken in col- lege. For those not continuing their language in college, knowledge of a foreign language may be helpful in related courses and for greater understanding of other peoples and their cultures. Four-semester courses in each of the four languages, French, German. Latin and Span- ish are offered at Edsel Ford. 12A’s are allowed to elect a course in conversational Spanish. This course was first offered in the spring of 1956. Edsel Ford has added another new staff member to the language department, Mr. James Ankenbrandt. The rest of the staff includes Mr. Frank Damiano, Mrs. Mary Jane Smith, Miss Helene Wilson, depart- ment chairman and Miss Virginia Waldinger. 11 Grade Level Counselors Mr. Herschel Wallace is the counselor for the 12B class. Guidance program at Edsel Ford High School is designed to cover the guidance needs of the students as comprehensively as possible. It provides for counselors to handle special problems of individuals; it also gives a place and time in the scheduling for group guidance. It recognizes the need in a larger high school for stu- dents to be recognized into relatively stable groups in which they can become well known by a single teacher and can identify themselves with their age-mates for supportive relationships. Groups of twenty-five or thirty students become known as human relations classes. Individual counseling situations grow out of the class work, but the basic purpose of the class work is to deal with the common or universal problems of high school youth. The aim of the guidance program is to develop understanding of basic conceptions and principals, which the students can apply to the solution of his own per- sonal problems. Human relations teachers consists of Mrs. Barbara Carr, Mrs. Jeanne Flegle, Miss Norma Haddad, Mr. Ford Haskins and Mr. Albert Layton. Other members of the department are Mrs. Almerene Kaufman, Mr. James Shader, Mr. Rudolph Skodack, Mr. Wallace Smith and Mr. Herschel Wallace, department chairman.

Mr. James Shader watches his human relations class. Through English Humanity Classes Mrs. Bessie Stuart instructs students in various communication forms. English humanities program at Edsel Ford High School is unique. It is a course which combines the three basic methods by which man communicates: music, literature and the visual arts. The course at- tempts to increase the students understanding of arts so that he might better understand what man has thought of, hoped for and dreamed of since his begin- ning. As a result of the instruction received in the course the student should be able to better appreciate the world in which he lives, and to develop a sense of values which will guide him in the art of living a mean- ingful and complete life. While achieving these im- portant purposes the program puts great emphasis on the development of basic communicatioin skills. A great deal of purposeful writing is done by students in which not only content, but grammar and punctuation are stressed. Six semesters of English humanities are required at Edsel Ford. Elective courses in the English field are also offered. These include journalism, play production and public speaking.

The courses are general in the beginning so as to give the students an opportunity to acquaint them- selves with the nature of the course and with the different tools used. However, as a stu- dent progresses in more advanced courses, the training becomes more specific in terms of skills and purposes. Courses in the six different areas are offer- ed in the industrial education department. They are auto mechanics, drafting, electri- city, metals, printing and woodworking. These electives meet the needs of students who are interested in them either vocation- ally or avocationally.

June Grads Enjoy Courts Yearly activities performed by seniors are the exchanging of name cards and pictures. Seniors enjoy a meal and have a period of relaxation at lunchtime in the cafeteria. One pleasant aspect of Edscl Ford’s atmosphere is the courts. Here senior classmates enjoy them after lunch. 58 June Grads Perform Last Minute Duties Seniors make a “clean sweep” before leaving. There’s everything here but the kitchen sink .... or is that here, too? This could get to be a habit! Well, pink always was my favorite color. Members of the '59 June graduating class view a poster for their April senior production. 59 “Knock, and it shall he opened unto you.” With this advice in mind, un- derclassmen make their way through two years of continual adjustment. It is during these two years that the bulk of high school knowledge is ab- sorbed. For one thing, underclass- men form their attitudes about life, education, and Edsel Ford almost entirely in this period of two years. Also, they learn the strategic im- portance of knowing when to resist, when to yield, and when to adapt. From these things, they begin to un- derstand the necessity of taking th first step throughout their edu- cation. Of greatest signi- ficance. however, is the underclassman's growing realization of his responsibilities as a student of Edsel Ford and as an in individual of mod ern society. 12B's Elect Officers, Acting as officers of the 12B class during the ’58-59 season were, left to right, Barbara Davey, treasurer.

Be strong therefore, and show thyself a man.” The factor that binds all of the many aspects of Edsel Ford’s program is school spirit. This spirit manifests itself in every competitive sport or activity that Edsel Ford undertakes. This element of school spirit increases with every victory and yet remains through every loss. Athletes, students, and spectators find sports an ejoyable, exciting means of expending extra energy and identifying them- selves with the school. In this particular phase of school life, every Edsel Ford student is involved in reaching a common goal, victory.

Just a few of these f aims are helping others, gaining more in I tensive knowledge of a particular subject, and ' increasing school spirit. Some clubs specialize in f just one of these objectives, while others carefully 1 combiii them. One of the more Uti portant functions of 1 school Httivities is giving each individual a chance to have [ some sort of special recognition or identification. This enables a student to explore more of his capabilities and interests. How- ' ever, the most significant function of sc: ool activities is helping stu- dents to undertake and uphold responsibilities.
