In the years before high school, a person forms many of his values, standards, and goals; but it is through for- mal secondary schooling that the tenuous values are clearly defined, the false standards discarded, and the goals more closely ap- proached. So that every student may determine his own ideals, Edsel Ford High School's curriculum completes the process by giving the student the tools with which to apply his ideals and obtain his goals. Edsel Ford High School’s extra - cirricular activities, by offering contact with others in practical experi- ence, also help the student to form definite values and knowledge of his fellow man. Thus high school ed- ucation enables the student to know himself and lead a life based on what he be- lieves to be true and worth- while. His life has more meaning; and his destiny, when reached, is a surer and more satisfactory cli- max to his experience.

A vi V A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops. Henry Brooks Adams It is the duty and the challenge of the teacher to touch the minds of his stu- dents, not only with the facts of the sub- ject matter, but also with his personal values, standards, and ideals. Not all the students will let themselves be af- fected by this; but if a teacher can reach even one, his influence will extend throughout that person's life. And, if he happens to touch the mind of a very gifted person, one who will become a great statesman, philosopher, or writer, his values will be disseminated by that person throughout an entire society. This is true of any of the people who form the environment of a man who will leave his mark on the world; their influence on him will determine his effect on society. However, it is especially true of a teach- er; for his purpose is to guide the minds of young people in moral, ethical, and philosophical matters. It is the duty of teachers to make sure their values are sound, their standards just, and their ideals worthwhile. And it is the reward of teachers to realize that theirs is the power to inspire young minds to thoughts and deeds of honor and greatness. Mr. Anthony J. Lawski is Edsel Ford High School’s chief executive. PRINCIPALS MR. ANTHONY J. LAWSKI “Edsel Ford High School attempts to give our stu- dents a comprehensive program of studies, one that first meets the universal needs of all our young people, and second, one that provides for their individual needs and interests, both vocational and advocational.” These are the words of Edsel Ford’s principal, Mr. Anthony J. Lawski. As principal, his major duties are to carry out the policies of the Board of Education and the regulations of the superintendent and his staff, and to exercise over-all supervision of the school and its organization. Additional duties of Mr. Lawski include the follow- ing: providing leadership in curriculum improvement, selecting and supervising teachers and staff members, and dealing with colleges, universities, and accredit- ing agencies. Mr. Lawski has had extensive training and experi- ence in the field of education. He received his bach- elor’s degree at Michigan State Normal College and his master’s degree at Western Reserve University. He started teaching in Farmington; and in 1936 he came to Dearborn, where he taught at Edison Junior High School and Dearborn High School. He served as as- sistant in curriculum under Mr. Mills, assistant super- intendent of schools, who was in charge of the com- munity college and the high schools. From his chair- manship of the Edsel Ford High School curriculum study group, he became the principal of Edsel Ford in 1955. Commenting on the Edsel Ford Curriculum, Mr. Lawski said, “There is no question about the pro- gram’s success, but we will never be satisfied with any program. The world does not stand still, and we must change to keep up with it.” 6 MR. WILLARD THORNLEY The satisfaction of my job comes from being in a position to work with faculty, students, and school maintenance and to provide conditions such that boys and girls at Edsel Ford High School have the opportunity to obtain the very best high school education,” stated Mr. Willard Thomley, one of Edsel Ford’s Assistant Principals. A major part of Mr. Thornley's duties consists of working with the counselors enrolling and scheduling students. He also arranges for teacher substitutes and procures all school equipment and sup- plies. In addition to these tasks, Mr. Thomley prepares the school calendar of activities. In general, Mr. Thornley su- pervises all building management. Mr. Thomley received his M.A. at the University of Michigan. Before coming to Edsel Ford High School as one of the original planning group, he taught at St. Clair Shores High School, Edison Junior High School, and Dearborn High School. Mr. Thomley has served Edsel Ford as Assistant Principal since 1955. Mr. Willard Thomley is in the process of locating a substitute for an absent teacher. MR. ALBERT MAY “Edsel Ford kids are friendly, interest- ing, and easy to work with.” This is the opinion of Mr. Albert May, and he ought to know. Mr. May served as Assistant Principal in Mr. William Young’s absence. As Assistant Principal, Mr. May’s main job was student disci- pline. Students with an excessive number of tardies or absences and other students who become disciplinary problems come under Mr. May’s jurisdiction. His other duties include sponsoring the Student Council and supervising all stu- dent activities and home events. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Friday mornings, in the absence of a school nurse. Mr. May takes temperatures and sends ill students home. Before becoming Assistant Principal, Mr. May was a member of the Business Education Department. Commenting on his job, Mr. May said, “This job is never dull. Once in a while, I get discouraged; but if I help even one person, it makes the whole day worth- while.” Mr. Albert May and John Bray-man discuss John's attendance record. 7 Laurel Le Ferguson, Maureen Horrigan, Bob Major, Nancy Navarre, and Diane Rousku draw with India ink as Mr. Robert Ferguson looks In the art courses offered at Edsel Ford High School, the serious art student is given an opportunity to extend his artistic view- points by experimentation in the various art media. Step by step, he is guided into new art fields, such as charcoal drawing, clay model- ing, linoleum block printing, painting, and sculpture. The student is led from any pre- conceived notions about art to the considera- tion that there are viewpoints other than his own. The student also gets an opportunity to see whether or not he would like to make a career in art. Young people are encouraged to explore fully the many interesting fields that are open to the talented art student of today. The vocal section of the Music Department, under the direction of Mr. Phillip Mark, entertains the student body at the Thanksgiving Day assembly. MUSIC Mrs. Ruth Stolfo directs the cast of Gilbert and Sullivan's H.MS. Pinafore as the choir looks on. The Music Department offers the students at Edsel Ford High School not only a chance to de- velop their musical abilities but also an opportunity for wholesome enjoyment. Band is offered as a class at Edsel Ford, and it takes part in assem- blies and music programs. The band and the pep band perform during half-time intermissions at the football and basketball games. To students interested in vocal music, choir and ensemble are of- fered. Along with the knowledge of music absorbed by these music stu- dents during the year, they learn also to work cooperatively with one another and with their teachers. Mr. Eldon Scott. Edsel Ford's Kind and orchestra instructor, rehearses with the hand. 9 A bulletin board entitled “Teen Job Opportunities” is discussed by Mr. Bernard Barnett and Mr. Robert Evans. Mr Neil Goodbread and Mr. Robert Young, business education teachers, review the commercial curriculum. Barbara Davey hears an explanation of the co-op program from Mr. Richard Fcussc, business education teacher and work coordinator. BUSINESS EDUCATION Edsel Ford High School’s commercial department, in addition to developing necessary competence for jobs, also em- phasizes the development of desirable personal and social traits. Some of these attitudes developed through the Business Education Department are those of char- acter building and citizenship. One fea- ture of this department is that it prepares students for many types of jobs. Classes in business and personal use typing, bookkeeping, retailing, office ma- chines, and office practice are offered to the students interested in the commercial field. From these courses, students re- ceive not only business knowledge but also practice in spelling, punctuation, grammar, and arithmetic. The department is helpful to students, even after their graduation, through its program of locating jobs for graduates. Guidance counselors seated in the front row arc Mrs. Victoria Stock. Miss Norma Haddad, Mrs. Jan Flegle, Mrs. Barbara Carr, and Mrs. Almercne Kaufman. In the second row are Mr. Rudy Skodack, Mr. James Shader, Wallace Smith, Mr. Ford Haskins, and Mr. James Austin. GUIDANCE The Guidance Department at Edsel Ford is directly con- cerned with each student’s welfare. Students are bene- fited not only through the curriculum followed, but also by the understanding and in- dividual respect employed by their counselors. A typical field of study in the classes in human relations is that of mental states and processes in connection with human and animal behavior. This study is essential to a student’s un- derstanding of himself as well as others. In turn, this knowl- edge enables the young per- son to successfully adjust himself to his environment. The curriculum of this depart- ment includes a study of ca- reers as well as marriage and family living. In addition to this beneficial course of study, the counselors are always available to give of both time and effort in solving a stu- dent's problems. Mr. Wallace Smith, senior class counselor, assists Helen Buttigicg in deckling whether or not to make plans for college. Joan Buchholz is aided in her plans for the future by Mrs. Abncrcoc kuufiuan. HA chess counselor. Mr. Richard Laing and Mr. Martin Holtgrieve give advice to Art Humanities students who have designed and constructed small objects of wood Putting the finishing touches on these objects are Kathy Brown, Mary Jo Snelling, John O’Donnell, and David Niblo. Members of the English Humanities Department seated in the front row are Mrs. Louise Schlaff, Miss Jaylee Duke, Miss Evelyn Pugh, Mrs. Bessie Stuart, Mrs. Muriel Hunt, Miss Grace Kovatch, and Miss Gladys Carothers ENGLISH Grant Mackenzie explains the functions of the camera to Mr. Gordon Cochranes public speaking class. 12 Traditionally, an English course drills students in grammar, punctua- tion, and other techniques of writing. However, merely instructing students in the mechanics of a subject is not sufficient if they are to fully develop their intellectual abilities; equally im- portant is a thorough understanding of what is to be learned. Edsel Ford High School's English Humanities De- partment strives to impart to the young people of the school an under- standing and appreciation of litera- ture, music, and art, the forms which man uses to communicate his ideas. The students learn what these ideas are, the means by which they are com- municated, and why. Also, each is helped in deciding which of these ideas he will incorporate into the set of personal values which he is encour- aged to develop. As well as the required humanities course, the English department offers specialized courses on an elective basis. In journalism classes, the stu- dents become thoroughly acquainted with the form of writing used in news- paper work and put their knowledge to practical use by becoming contrib- uting members of the staffs of the Flight and the Bolt. Two semesters of training in effective oral communi- cation, or public speaking, are avail- ■able, too. Behind them are Mr. Patrick Daly, Mr. Harold King. Mr. Donald Lynch, Mr. Gordon Cochrane, Mr. Kichard Hespen, Mr. William Macintosh, and Mr. Martin Holt- grieve. Not pictured are Mr. Tex Walker and Mr. David Frye. HUMANITIES The study of subject and verb agreement brings Mary Hannah and John Hanson to the board to show Mrs. Bessie Stuart their answers. journalism 1 students learn to become intelligent con- sumers of mass media and study newspaper technique to become members of the school newspaper staff. Analyz- ing local and metropolitan newspapers are Sharon Sharpe. Suzanne Scarborough, Mrs. Louise Schlaff, advisor, Carole Graham. Joan Buchholz, Richard Cady, and Erin O'Connell. Mr. Tex Walker, Mr. William Macintosh, and Mrs. Muriel Hunt discuss the qualities of English Humanities papers. 13 Miss Virginia Waldinger helps Bob Simms and Barbara Shotwell put up a French bulletin board. Barbara Foss, Mary Munday, Judy Rogers, and Rick Stiver discuss the translation of a Latin sentence with Miss Helene Wilson. LANGUAGES Foreign languages are a necessary part of the Edsel Ford curriculum for two reasons. One, the study of languages is being required by an increasing number of colleges and universities. Two, knowledge of a language other than English gives a person a broader cultural background and helps him to understand another coun- try’s customs and people. Four languages are offered at Edsel Ford. French and Latin are taught for three years; German and Spanish, for two years. Supplementing the study of grammar and vocabulary, students exercise their linguistic skills by acting in plays and designing language bulletin boards. Latin students Gayle Ward, Jennie Milnes, and Mary Ann Gute- kunst put up a bulletin board under the supervision of Miss Grace Kachaturoff. 14 SCIENCE Edsel Ford High School is in the middle of a five- year experimental program in natural science. Its purpose is to acquaint the student with the laboratory sciences and to give him a more liberal education in the area of science by requiring studies in several fields rather than in one field exclusively. The student is required to take one semester each of biology, chem- istry, and physics; and then he may select one or more additional semesters from these. The student whose scientific interest lies in other fields may elect photography, horticulture, or geology- astronomy. Mr. Arthur Konarske explains the principles of electric current to Cary Craig and Kelly Big- liardl. The science teachers at Edsel Ford are Mr. Stanley Smith. Mr. Mark Boersma, Mr. Martin Erickson, and Mr. Arthur Konarske in the first row. and Mr. Ernest Burkinan. Mr. Stewart Gingrich, and Mr. Lee Bartlett in the second row. Not pictured are Mr. Ralph Cornell, Mr. Allan Dawson, Mr. Robert Hough, Mr. Roger Iddings. and Mr. Warren Rhodes. In a world of intercontinental missies, hydrogen bombs, and cold war, the only hope for peace is the development of a mutual understanding between the na- tions of the earth. The Social Studies Department of Edsel Ford High School strives to help students understand their own country's values and government, and then to apply their under- standing to other nations. The first course in the social studies sequence involves a study of a simple society such as the Andaman Islanders. Social studies 2 and 3 deal with American values, how they came into being, and the effects of the Industrial Revolution on life and values in the United States. The workings of democracy are investigated in Social Studies 4. Students learn about the dif- ferent branches of government and about their functions. In the last required class, an investigation of clear thinking and its application is made. Re- search papers are an important part of this class, preparing stu- dents for similar work in college. SOCIAL STUDIES The assembled social studies teachers of Edsel Ford are Mr. Robert Dalton, Mr. James Lehman, Miss Doris Doo- little, Mr. Richard Seavitt, Miss Grace Kachaturoff, ami Mrs. Shirley Tolan, Mr. William Levantrosser, with Judy Delya and Patrick Daly at the board, refers to the map in a discussion of democracy and capitalism.

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION The Industrial Education De- partment of Edsel Ford offers stu- dents practical courses that will benefit them after high school. These elective courses strive to guide those students who plan an industrial vocation. There are six fields of industrial education at Edsel Ford. They in- clude drafting, electricity, metal shop, auto shop, printing, and woodwork. As a student progresses in sequence in the area he has chosen, he gains a fuller under- standing of the demands of that field. In all areas the students may become more familiar with the common tools, procedures, and skills required in their vocational or avocational plans. MATHEMATICS Mathematics is a subject which en- ables a student to understand basic methods of solving problems. However, it also develops logical thinking by the process of problem solving. The purpose of the mathematics department at Edsel Ford High School is to provide training in both of these areas. The four semesters of algebra, three semesters of geometry, and one semester of trigonometry offered by the Edsel Ford Mathematics Department are se- quential in nature. Usually, a student takes two semesters of algebra in the ninth grade. In the tenth grade, he takes two semesters of plane geometry. Alge- bra 3 and solid geometry are taught in the eleventh grade; algebra 4 and trigo- nometry, in tbe twelfth grade. Edsel Ford's instructors in mathematics arc Mr. Joseph Diroff. Mrs. Patricia Major, and Mr. Russell Peterson in the front row. In the second row are Mr. Orlando Byers and Mr. Graham Porter. Mr. Diroff explains a geometrical construction to Jim Vanderstek. Hard working students in a math studs hall are observed by Mrs. Patricia Major. In the front row are Joe Fetes)a. OaJe Watts, and Ken Sarkozy 19 Judy McGuire and Fran Puggini entertain two young visitors in their class in child care. Learning the skills of sewing are Karen Washington, Karen Kuligow- ski, Gail Nizdil, and Barbara Black. HOMEMAKING Cooking, sewing, and taking care of small children are inseparable activities in one’s home and family life. Prac- tical experience, thorough understanding, and basic skills in each are the main objectives of Edsel Ford's Home- making Department. As a result, many students have found home economics courses invaluable. Family Foods offers the student an understanding of the nutritional needs of a family and also an introduction to-' some food programs operating outside the home. On the other hand. Family Clothing deals with an understanding of physical appearance and dress. Students in the Child Care classes are allowed to work with infants and, thus, obtain worthwhile experience in addition to information concerning the proper care of children. Any or all of these courses may prove beneficial to the future homemaker. The library offers opportunities for students to do recreational read- 20 NURSE Mrs. Dorothy Roan, Edsel Ford’s nurse, takes the temperature of Janet Tersinar. LIBRARY Edsel Ford High School’s library provides the facilities and atmosphere for students to study efficiently. Students, with the assistance of the librarians, the card catalogue, and the periodical guides, find a vast source of information and a collection of enjoyable fiction. In addi- tion, students find the use of the vocational files an added asset. Also available to them are the recording rooms, which can be used for either the study of music humanities or recreational enjoyment. ing and research work. 21 “Helping well people stay well” is Mrs. Dorothy Roan s job. Mrs. Roan is Edsel Ford’s school nurse. Her main job is to promote better health habits in students and to encourage student immunization for such diseases as small pox and polio. On the days that she is at Edsel Ford, Mondays, Thursdays, and Friday afternoons, she issues temporary gym excuses, sees that sick or injured students get home safely, and handles all emergency ac- cidents until they can be taken to a doctor. Mrs. Lucille Pcthel looks over new books in the library work room. Joy Rushlau checks out a book as Miss Betty Lee explains the procedure to Marilyn Miller. Dick Sligay and Mickey Fulkerson remove the baskets in which they keep their clothing for gym classes. The teachers in the boys’ physical education classes at Edsel Ford are Mr. Warren Rhodes, Mr. Fred Evans, Mr. William Kilpatrick, and Mr. John Davis. PHYSICAL EDUCATION Students at Edsel Ford High School find an outlet for their energy' through participation in various individ- ual and team sports in physical education classes. The staffs of both the boys’ and the girls' Physical Education Departments endeavor to promote physical and mental fitness. In addition to learning the fundamentals of health and hygiene, students are taught the importance of good sportsmanship, fair play, and school spirit. Friendly competition as well as muscular coordina- tion are stressed in the gym classes. Girls are offered this competition in such team sports as volleyball, soc- cer, and basketball. Individual sports such as golf, bowling, tennis, badminton, shuffleboard, ping pong, archery, and swimming also lead to the development of physical fitness. In the boys’ physical education classes, a wide variety of athletics is offered. The program is divided into three areas: fall, winter, and spring sports. During the fall, mental and physical fitness are promoted through participation in badminton, soccer, softball, football volleyball and swimming. When they have completed sports in this area, the boys begin the winter program, which consists of basketball, bowling, wrestling, ping pong, and indoor achievement tests. In the spring the emphasis is on golf, handball, horseshoes, softball ’ ten- nis, swimming, and track and field events. Charlene Coykendall takes her swimming suit from Miss Irma Calvisi, Miss Carole Cates, and Miss Connie Charles, instructors the drying room. of girls’ physical education classes, review the basketball procedure. Members of Edsel Ford High School's office staff contribute to the smooth operation of school affairs. Seated in front are Mrs. Dolores Blackburn Mrs. Wanda fiuska, and Mrs. Helen Hylton. Behind them stand Miss Peggy Neale, Mrs. Virginia Culmonc, and Mrs. Jean Weaver. SERVICE STAFFS The lunches at Edsel Ford High School have earned a reputation. This reputation is not only excellent, but it is well deserved. With the student in mind, popular dishes, such as hot dogs, hamburgers, and pizza are often served. Tile women who cook at Edsel Ford are Mrs. Ruth Burgess, Mrs. Mildred Bumick, Mrs. Eleanor Horvath, Mrs. Dolores Laurich, and Mrs. Ruth Millikin. Also on on the cafeteria staff are Mrs. Edith Moore, Mrs. Louella Smetana, Mrs. Frances Wagner, Mrs. Anna Wyn, and Mrs. Hilda Weiss. The manager must plan the work and the amount of food to be prepared, order provisions, keep the books, and help when needed in the lunch lines. These women prepare over three hundred plate lunches each school day. Another important group of employees at Edsel Ford are the custodians. Mr. A1 Snabes is the engineer and in charge of the other men. There are five other people working during the day: Mrs. Violet DeYoung, Mr. Vem Floyd, Mr. A1 Martinson, Mrs. Ann Nikola, and Mr. Carl Taylor. These are only a small portion of the staff. Most of the maintenance crew come in after school is dismissed to put the building in order after fifteen hundred people have cluttered it. Mr. Bill Black is the head of the night staff. Preparing for the noon rush are Mrs. Frances Wagner, Mrs. Mildred Burnick, sandwich maker, and Mrs. Ruth Burgess, pastry cook. Mrs. Elenor Horvath and Mrs. Dolores Launch, head cook, make grilled cheese sandwiches as Mis. LneiLa Smetana, the new manager, supervises. 23 “No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings. —William Blake It is the purpose of Edsel Ford High School to develop in young men and women two qualities, idealism and the ability to live up to ideals. The young men and women of the senior class have completed this process; for three years, they have been studying the facts and thoughts and philosophies which other men have discovered. From these, they are now able to institute their own stand- ards, values, and goals, to know what they consider important in life. For three years, these seniors have been taught —in language, mathematics, the sciences, the arts, the vocations—how to reason, communicate, and achieve. With this background, they are able to go on to accomplish the things which, to them, are important. When these seniors leave Edsel Ford High School, many of them will plan for ordinary, happy lives. However, some will have great dreams, perhaps idealistic ambitions of changing the world and bettering humanity. And, with the “wings” of self-reliance, understanding, and ability given to them in these three years of high school, no plan, no dream, no ideal will ever be out of their reach. jk : Vice President Betty Deck January Graduation from high school marks the end of one of the most important and exciting segments in the chain of life. Thus the graduating class of January, 1960, has experienced one such segment. Their three years at Edsel Ford will be remembered by them and those who knew them as a class. Even though theirs was a small group, they made many contributions to Edsel Ford. Their outstanding members helped lead school organiza- Barbara Davey Treasurer Kathy Worden raduates tions, support school spirit, participate in sports, and build the scholastic reputation of the school. This class gave spirit to the school as well as furnishing various ac- tivities such as two proms and Homecoming floats. They also sold Edsel Ford decals, book covers, senior pins, and refreshments at the games. An impression of this class will long remain at Edsel Ford and in the minds of its class members. Members of the 12A senior class gather with class council and advisor, Mrs. Almerene Kauf- man, to discuss final plans for the senior prom.

Memorable class projects, athletic events, scho- lastic competition, and outstanding individuals will be most vivid in the minds of these students. Planning for the Junior and Senior Proms, constructing two Homecoming floats, selling key chains, having a paper drive, and spon- soring a record hop were some of the most outstanding class projects. Being spectators and participating in Edsel Ford sports were very important to this class, too. This class was interested in school activities; but. more im- portantly, they absorbed the scholastic teachings from their high school education through their studies and diligent work at Edsel Ford.

SJ7; 3 • % 4 mm Man has come to realize the evils of ignorance and the blessings of wisdom. In order to avoid the former and secure the latter, he has instituted various forms of education to help him live success- fully in his environment. This education teaches a person to understand the peo- ple and phenomena which he finds in the world around him. Edsel Ford High School is an institution devoted to such education, and its students strive to gain formal learning to prepare themselves for what they are to learn from experi- ence during their lifetimes. The greater part of the student body of Edsel Ford High School is composed of those who have not yet completed their formal education. While these young people gain new knowledge, they also form a vital and significant part of their school. They participate in most of the school activities and help estab- lish the school’s future; therefore, the underclassmen deserve recognition and respect for being an essential part of the structure of Edsel Ford High School. •••'••SI!'!'

Their experiences both academic and extra-curricular, have in- creased their knowledge and ability to cope with life. Helping them on their way upward toward the goal of gradu- ation are their counselors, Miss Nonna Haddad, and Mrs. Vic- toria Stock. Always ready with a helping hand, the counselors have helped to plan schedules and settle personal problems. There are a total of six Human Relations classes in the 12B section. Officers of the class have done much to unite the class in their projects and class spirit. The class’s efforts were con- centrated mainly on the selling of Edsel Ford pennants and mak- ing a Homecoming float. 2. Bottom: R. Nadley, C. Raymond, F. 3. Bottom: C. Doming, N. Kish, G. Hartom.

They have finished four semesters at Edsel Ford High School and are now looking upward toward their senior year. The llA’s are divided into eleven groups of Human Relations classes. Conducting these classes and counsel- ing the students are Mrs. Jan Flegle, Mr. Ford Haskins, and Mr. Allan Dawson. The class’ projects for the year were the sale of Edsel Ford pins, a Homecoming float, a sponge dance, and the Junior From. Their float, which consisted of a mock graveyard ready for the burial of the opponents, won first place in the contest. Serving as 11A class officers were (top to bottom) John Waite, president; Eric Smith, vice-president; Karen Dayne, treasurer; and Toni Shubat, secretary. 2. Bottom: M. Burnett, C. Doster, C. Pet- 3.

The 11B class has completed the first three of these steps on the stairway of education and has only to complete three more. Under the guidance of Mr. James Shader, the 11H class counselor, the students in this grade level have planned their course of study at Edsel Ford and will soon start planning their futures. During the year, the 11B class has lH en quite active. Plans for the Jun- ior Prom were made in co-operation with the 11A class and carried out for this important function. Class elec- tions were also a part of the activities. Those competing for the posts as of- ficers and Executive Council members carried on vigorous campaigns by using posters and giving speeches at a special assembly. 3. Bottom: J. Kondziela, A.

On the second step of the stairway to graduation are the lOA’s who first entered Edsel Ford High School in September, 1959. In their first year, the class members have acquired a basic knowledge of the Edsel Ford curriculum on which they will build in the coming years. This year there were twelve sections of lOA’s, a total of 379 students. Counselors of the 10A class included Mrs. Barbara Carr, Mr. Ralph Cornell, Mr. Martin Erickson, and Mr. Har- old King. Also helping the stu- dents adjust in their first year of high school were Mrs. Victoria Stock, Mr. Richard Seavit, and Mr. Matthew Zipple. Although the 10th grade classes usually don't have any class projects or activities, the lOA’s started the year with an entry in the annual Homecom- ing float contest. Since then the officers have started to plan their future class projects. 1. Bottom: M. Korte, D. Hachem. J. Rob- 2. Bottom: K. Washington, M. Lowe, P. erts. Middle: D. Flaishans, B. Hultgren.

The members of this class have become acquainted with the school and with their fellow students. This in itself was a job because the 173 students came from three different junior high schools. Thomas Edison, O. L. Smith, and Woodworth. Under the guidance of counselors Mrs. Almerene Kaufman and Mr. Matthew Zipple, the class has organized for the coming years at Edsel Ford. Class elections were held soon after the class arrived at the school and a president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer were chosen. 3. Bottom: R. Spielman, R. Hayward, F. Anderson. Middle: J.

Just as a bow cannot remain strung tor a long period without breaking, so the student cannot stay forever doubler! over his texts without having his many ten- sions become the better of him. In order to develop the student physically, as well as mentally, competitive sports are of- fered to the students at Edsel Ford High School. Here, in these sports, the stu- dent gains a change of pace from the everyday routine of school life by ex- pending his energies in an acceptable and wholesome manner. In the sports, he also gains one of the prime necessities of the harmonious life—that of sports- manship. Therefore, while helping to teach the student to get along well with others, sports offer him a refuge from the strains of modem living.

FOOTBALL Much is expected of something which has formerly proved its worth. Such was the case with Edsel Ford’s Thunderbirds. Last season they were crowned the un- disputed league champions, and the fans again this year looked toward them for the coveted league crown and the shining record of triumphant games. Every other team in the Huron-Rouge V alley Conference also hoped to snatch the title, including last year’s big threat, Lincoln Park, which loomed this year more dangerous than ever. As in last year’s schedule, Lincoln Park was Edsel Ford’s last game; but in order to have a shot at the championship, the team had to win their other league games first. The team was off to a good start when a fired-up group of T-Birds, before a large home audience, gained control of the field and downed the Taylor Center Rams 19 to 6. Then came Edsel Ford’s cross-town rival, Fordson. The tables turned, and Edsel Ford slipped 20 to 12. Despite wetting the T-Birds feathers, the loss of the Fordson game was no handicap to the team; and the boys sprang back quickly to walk away with two more easy wins: Melvindale, by a score of 33 to 7, andYpsilanti, by a score of 38 to 0. The Ypsi rout greatly encouraged the team, as that was the home- coming game and a large crowd offered their support. The traditional game between the Thunderbirds and Dearborn High’s Pioneers ended, much to the school’s dismay, in a 14 to 14 tie. But, as the sun shines after a storm, the boys lashed back with an easy 33 to 6 win over non-league Roseville and a 33 to 0 win over Wayne. These victories then set the scene for the reckoning with Lincoln Park. Under the lights of the Railsplitter stadium, a large crowd saw the two teams tied 7 to 7 until, in the closing seconds of the game, Lincoln Park broke loose for a touchdown to win the game 13 to 7. This loss ended the T-Birds chances for the league crown and set them solidly in second place. A chilled squad of T-Birds waits out the anxious moments on the sidelines during the final game with Lincoln Park. The Edsel Ford varsity and junior varsity cheerleaders have completed another active year in supporting the 1959-60 football and basketball squads. Devoted to the job of transforming the crowd’s wild and unrestrained yelling and screaming into or- ganized cheers, the girls have done their usual loyal job, spur- ring the teams through very successful seasons. Both the varsity squad and the junior varsity cheerleaders held their peppy practices on Monday and Wednesday nights throughout the year Sponsored and instructed by Miss Carol Gates, the varsity cheerleaders consisted of (bot- tom to top in picture) Joan Lang, Linda Simon, Co-captain Linda Bensie, Co-captain Char- lotte Miller, Bonnie Dawson, Sue McFarlane, Marion Clark, and Mary Lou Adamson. FOOTBALL (Continued) Edsel Fords reserve football team started the 1959 season defending a two-year winning streak which started with a victory over Wayne near the end of the 1956 season. The gridmen remained on the path of victory by downing their first three opponents of the 1959 grid campaign. This record of victories was broken when the Thunderbirds were downed by Roseville in their fourth outing of the season. This was the first loss for the junior varsity in nineteen consecutive games. The T-Birds went on to finish out the season with a record of five victories, one loss, and one tie. In league action, the J-Vee’s scored victories over Lincoln Park, Melvindale, Wayne, Ypsilanti, and tied cross-town rival Dearborn High. Allen Park was downed in non-league action, but the T-Birds dropped their last non-league contest to Roseville. Coaches Vaskin Badalow and Dave Frye pointed out that the fine teamwork and good sportsmanship that were evident in this year’s squad were the key factors contributing to the J-Vee’s successful season.

Numerous floats were constructed and displayed for the occasion, and a performance by the band was given during half time at the football game. Jeff Longstreth displays his record-breaking form in the butterfly stroke. SWIMMING This year Edsel Ford’s swimming team, coached by Mr. Warren Rhodes and captained by Jeff Longstreth, had the responsibility of upholding the number two spot in the Huron-Rouge Valley League standing—a responsibilty which it won for itself last year and one which looked ever-easier this year due to the appearance of many new promising men on the team and not a single loss of manpower through mid-year graduations. Throughout the season, two things could plainly be seen, that Edsel Ford was upholding its responsibility with ease and that the many new men on the team were proving them- selves nobly. Although anxious moments were always present, the Edsel Ford swimmers continued through the season, breaking several records and, for the second year in succession, captured the second position in the league standing.

BASKETBALL Defending the Huron-Rouge Valley Conference basketball championship is a task for any league squad. Never in league history has any Huron-Rouge team been able to capture two titles in succession. Last season the Edsel Ford Thunderbirds were undisputed league champions, and this year fans looked forward to another successful season. However, five other squads were out to dethrone the T-Birds, including Lin- coln Park and Melvindale who rated as formidable challengers as the season opened. The defending champs got off on the right foot by downing Redford Union in their first home appearance of the year. The story changed, though, as the locals dropped their next three non-league games in succession. These defeats were at the hands of Pontiac Central, Hamtramck, and Ann Arbor. Melvindale, a title threat, met the T-Birds in the first league game of the year. Leading at half-time, the boys ran out of steam with about two minutes left in the game and were nosed out 65 to 62. This game seemed to turn the tide for Coach William Kilpatrick’s boys as the locals dropped two more league games to Lincoln Park and Dearborn, while downing Wayne and Ypsilanti in the first semester’s cage action. The Thunderbirds dropped two other league encounters and a non-league contest to Taylor Center before scoring a second decisive victory over Wayne. Cross-town rival. Dearborn High, hand- ed the T-Birds their sixth league loss of the season in one of the most exciting games of the year. The local cagers led throughout the contest only to be caught in the final minute of action and edged out in overtime. In the last game of the season, Ypsilanti handed the Thunder- birds their seventh defeat in ten out- ings. This loss left the T-Birds in fourth place in the league standings.

BASKETBALL (Continued) Displaying fine teamwork and good sportsmanship, the Edsel Ford reserve basketball squad complied a record of ten wins and five losses in completing a very successful season. In league action the J-Vee’s had seven wins against three losses; and in non-league action the boys had three wins and two defeats. Coached by Mr. Dave Frye, the junior varsity team defeated Redford Union, Hamtrack, and Ann Arbor, and dropped decisions to Pontiac and Taylor Center in non- league contests. In league play the T-Birds beat Ypsilanti and Lincoln Park twice each, and Dearborn, Melvindale and Wayne once. Highlighting the season was a thrilling victory over Dearborn High, before a jam-packed home crowd. This victory avenged an earlier defeat received at the hands of the Pioneers. Another exciting contest was the 54 to 53 loss handed the T-Birds by the Rams of Taylor Center. Games like this helped provide the fans with many exciting and enjoyable moments.

Against Huron-Rouge Valley League schools, the boys compiled a record of two wins and two losses; while in overall competition their score was five wins and eight losses. With several of last year’s wrestlers and many new boys, the team did very well for itself despite the loss of Captain Joe Sligay and Nathan Rowell through mid-year graduations. For the first three meets of the season, the boys were on home mats; but in spite of this fact, they lost to Farmington, Garden City, and Li- vonia Bentley. Then, luck followed the team for two meets. At Ann Arbor, the boys downed St. Thomas; and back home they pushed over league competitor, Melvindale. When Ann Arbor High traveled to our gym, the boys were vanquished again; and the same went for the following league meet at Ypsilanti High. After the Ypsi meet came another league school, Wayne, which the Thunderbirds overthrew only to lose the next two encounters to Allen Park and to our cross- town league rival, Dearborn High. Following the Pioneer duel came the boys' fourth win, in which Waterford became the vanquished. An away meet with Catholic Central was then lost by the T-Birds, but the boys finished the season with a win at Fordson. in one of the wrestling team's vigorous intra-squad scrim- mages.

CROSS-COUNTRY This year’s cross-country season was a mixture of joy and sorrow to Coach Fred Evans and the team. The varsity squad, with five wins and six losses, downed most of the non-league schools by wide margins. The league meets, however, proved to be rough, as Edsel Ford placed above only Melvindale in league standings. One of the joys highlighting this fall’s activites was Edsel Ford’s performace at the Thurston Invitationals. Competing with eleven other schools, the Thunderbirds missed first by two points, taking second and a runners-up trophy. With these results, Mr. Evans emphasized that success in cross-country depends on teamwork as in any other sport.

With twelve returning lettermen, Coach Fred Evans plans to gain strength as the team progresses in this springs meets. Of the ten meets, five will be with Huron-Rouge Valley League schools, while the others will be either non- league meets or multiple meets. Two of these multiple meets, the Huron Valley Relays at Eastern Michigan University and the Monroe Relays, are considered to be the high points of the year. 91 Dave Wisely slips over the bar in another successful pole vault attempt.

He be- lieves the boys out for the team show much promise. Returning to bolster Coach Davis's lineup will be five members of last year’s squad. Their talent and pre- vious experience will go a long way toward contrib- uting to a very successful campaign. Opening up the season with Allen Park, the Thunderbirds will engage in ten league games and three non-league contests. Highlighting the season will be two games with cham- pion Lincoln Park and a seven-inning contest with the Fordson Tractors on the T-Bird diamond. Dennis LaValley practices his drag bunting as George Hanoian catches.

The Pioneers have dominated tennis action in the Huron-Rouge Valley Conference competition for the past five years. This year’s challenging T-Bird squad includes seven returning lettermen who dropped only two league matches last season, both to Dearborn High. Also returning are a number of boys from last year's re- serve squad who will be making a bid to find a place on Coach Ralph Cor- nell’s ladder.

Although the program is primarily intended for those boys who are unable to participate in the interschool sports, many boys from both the reserve and varsity teams participate in intramurals while not out for a sport. The teams, organized and named by the boys themselves, are scheduled by the coach- es who are not coaching a team at the time. The boys playing intramural sports can be found, throughout the year, in such places as the gymnasium, the baseball fields, and the touch football fields. Coached by Mr. Russell Peterson, this year's tumbling team consists of Tom Rea, Denis Kallery, Bill Timmons, Mike Brundage, Steve Gautreau, and Dave Ware. Not in picture: John Madison. A game relying on teamwork, volleyball creates organization as well as excite- ment. Doug Balogh and Dave Sims stretch for a rebound in a boys' intramural basketball game. Playing at close quarters is frequent when both teams scramble for the ball under the basket. The tumbling team drills on one of their interesting exercises.

GIRLS' INTRA-MURALS The girls’ intramural program offered at Edsel Ford provides an opportunity for all girls to take part in various after-school sports. By participating in these wholesome activities, the girls are able to display their individual skills as well as learn sportsmanship and co-operation. In the fall, field hockey and volleyball, sports which require a great deal of co-operation, begin the season’s program. Basketball, ping pong, bad- minton, and shuffleboard are played in the winter and early spring. Tennis and softball end the season in late spring. Sponsoring this year’s intramural program are Miss Irma Calvisi, Miss Constance Charles, and Miss Carole Gates. A typical scene in the girls’ gym is seen as the balls come in thick and fast in attempts to knock over the pins. Shuffleboard. although not a very active game, is very popular among the girls. Scrambles for the ball are almost always present when the girls play basketball. FIELD HOCKEY CHAMPIONS—Front Row: Betty Corl, Jayne Neuman, Sue Cook. Lynn Berry, Carol Davis, Sandy Fisher.

He is born to hopes and aspirations as the sivirks fly upward. —Robert Southey. Each person determines what long- range goals he shall strive to reach during his lifetime. If he feels that the achieve- ment of his goals is absolutely essential to his personal satisfaction, as most people do, he will not be content to merely drift aimlessly through any of his extracurricular activities in high school. Instead, he will try to develop his abilities and all the facets of his per- sonality by participating earnestly and wholeheartedly in the various clubs and organizations offered by his school. Edsel Ford High School’s clubs are many and varied. Some augment the students’ studies in academic areas such as languages, science, and mathematics. Some organizations stress service or social development; others help the stu- dents to improve the spiritual aspect of their lives or their athletic ability and sportsmanship. The opportunity' to de- velop one’s talents and derive enjoyment from school sponsored clubs is an inte- gral part of the student’s experiences in high school, for he may join any of these numerous activities in order to bring himself closer to the accomplishment of his goals and the fulfillment of his dreams. STUDENT GOVERNMENT Edsel Ford’s Student Council consists of two houses, the Executive Council and the Student Assembly. Members of the Executive Council are elected by the various grade levels. The membership of the Student Assembly is composed of students elected from the Human Relations classes. The Edsel Ford Student Council has several significant purposes. First, the council aids the development of school spirit and student-faculty relationship by solving some problems that con- front the school. The council has the duty of promoting school activities. The Homecoming Dance is just one of the activities sponsored by the Student Council. Members of the council also participate in interschool relations. Many of the problems that face students today were discussed in the Inter-League Council and in the newly formed Regional Council. Student Council affords an opportunity for the development of leadership qualities. Jeff Lonstreth served as Executive Council Presi- dent; Diane Rowly assisted him as Vice-Presi- dent and as President of the Student Assembly. Other officers included Diane Nuznov, Council Secretary, and Gib Spaman, Council Treasurer. Rarbara Schelke was appointed Executive Council Stenographer, and Kathy Worden was chosen as Recording Secretary for the student Assembly. Mr. Albert May acted as sponsor of the Student Council.

BOLT Members of the Bolt staff, journalism, and printing classes, which are regular credit courses, work together to put out a paper of school news for the students of Edsel Ford. Mrs. Louise Schlaff, the sppnsor, is the new journalism instructor at Edsel Ford; and Mr. Leonard Stolfo is in charge of the print- ing classes. This year a new policy for the paper was put into effect which permits a greater variety of ma- terial to be published and a new style to be used. For the first time, the staff was aided by Journalism II classes; and the Bolt was not published at week- ly intervals, but only when there was sufficient news. Before it is possible to be- come a member of the Bolt staff, a student is required to take the Journalism I and II classes in which the basic prin- ciples of journalism are taught. The various editors are select- ed by the teacher-sponsor. Chris Grodzicki and Janet Carlson large photographs for the school pub- lication.

Standing behind and offering advice are Mr. Lee Bart- lett, Flight photographer, and Mr. Martin Holtgrieve, faculty advisor to Flight. FLIGHT The distribution of Edsel Ford High School’s yearbook, Flight, is a high point in the school year for most students. Its purpose is to give its readers as completely as possible a pictorial and editorial account of the school year at Edsel Ford. It also gives an opportunity' for expression of student talent and abilities. The Flight serves as a memory book by including as many events and students in it as possible. This year the staff of Flight de- cided to attempt a new format in- stead of the traditional lay-out. Some of the advantages sought in this new format were larger pic- tures and an increased number of pictures, making it possible to in- clude more students in pictures. Patterned after such large maga- zines as Life, the new lay-out allows more effective spacing of pictures and an informal page balance. Meeting with the photographer to discuss pictures needed in the Sports Section are Joyce Rembiesa; Chris Grodzicki, co-editor; Ken Sarkozy, co-editor; John Pahl; Fred Pfau, photographer; and Edie Balog.
