Everything but the essentials was cut out, but both students and faculty persisted, aided by that spirit of unity and self-sacrifice which always seems to come to the rescue of a community or a country in times of discouragement. ln l936, Mr. Whetstone took his place as the sixth principal since the founding of the school, bringing a store of new ideas, and a new era of development began. ln 1939, the much anticipated eleventh grade was added, and a new athletic field and clubhouse were completed. This year, to climax twenty-five years of growth and development, the first senior class took its place at the head of the school. Another first, the first yearbook, goes hand in hand with the first graduating class. The name, Periscope, originally adopted during the first World War, is revived during the present crisis. We have attempted to show you what goes on IN the COURSE of our academic activities and, OF CGURSE, the important extra-curricular events which have meant so much to us. Once again the guns of the world are booming. Under conditions similar to those of 1915, when the first class was inaugurated, the Grosse Pointe Country Day School is sending forth its first group of real grad- uates. This senior class, in publishing the Periscope, is not mourning La Derniere Classe, as others less fortunate are now doing, but is cele' brating Country Day's Silver lubilee. May those who follow uphold the standards and pride of the school and preserve its motto, Per Felicita- tem ad Victoriamf' ' s - Yartttfi Mlm Qrnille it '55 iw sniiililla A wx.

However, Miss Richardson has, in her quiet and efficient way, played a leading part in this school for the last sixteen years. Besides teaching Latin, she has ably directed the affairs of the Upper School, and has been largely responsible for the smooth continuance of school activities during difficult and discouraging times. Returning alumni invariably ask first for Miss Richardson, following a custom which promises to con- tinue for many years. Mr. Shover, who arrived at Country Day the year after Mr. Whetstone, has guided the Intermediate School with a firm but unobtrusive hand, and has co- operated with Miss Richardson and Mr. Whetstone to assure our school of a successful future.

President Kermit Morgan is THE class oiticerg lerre Sweeney is Gold team manager, Sally Watkins and Betty Claire Plagge- ineyer Are, from our grade, the two Student Councilorsy Kakkie Rosborough is Girls' Club Treasurer And Pen Pointe's editor: And Glee Club's president is Robert Taylor. And then there are those who distin- guish themselves in an athletic way, Like Franny Oberteufter and Bettey Sweeney, who on the varsity basket' ball team play: And Iohn Singer, and Kermit, and Bob who iuniorize the varsity football and varsity basketball teams. ln this case, the boys are better than the girls, it seems. And last, But not least, is Mademoiselle who homerooms our class, Who is a vivacious lady trom Reims, And who has not approved at all times ot Myrt's behavior, ie crainsw But, l forgot Ot Myrt, l have told you not. And l have told you that there were ten in our grade, And since that has been sade, l must explain that the tenth is Myrt, Expert, At getting into trouble, The double Of anyone in our grade who does wrong, Like skipping steps, running in halls, chewing gum, keeping a messy desk, or in study hall humming a song. But, it on Myrt, you want more dope, Buy our next year's Periscope.

' ' - 9' ' 41 i' i t 'k Grosse Pointe Country Day Schools varsity football team is now a recogx nized rival ot D.U.S., Detroit Country Day, Bloomfield High, Cranbrook, and New Baltimore High. One would need to have seen their games to com- prehend the indomitable and persistent spirit of this small squad of fourteen boys, which was so ably coached by Mr. Everhardus and captained by Chuck Cleats Bomont. The best example ot their fight and never die spirit was the game with Country Day's biggest rival, D.U.S. This is a game that neither D.U.S. nor G.P.C.D.S. will forget for many seasons to come. Aside from actual football games and practices, the boys enjoyed them- selves by attending dances held in the new clubhouse and by celebrating the close of the season with a banquet, which included guest speakers, movies, awards, and other typical festivities. Congratulations, boys and Coach Everhardus, on a successful and praises worthy season. NPZ ',AfPL The Varsity hockey team, directed hy Miss Austin, and led by lean Preble, the captain, played frequent qames with Grosse Pointe Convent, Lawrence Avenue Convent, Bloomfield Hills School, Kingswood, and Liqqett, liut the high point ot the season was the Private School Hockey Tournament held this year at Kinqswood. Three members of Country Days Varsity were picked for the All Star Team: Barbara Bayne, riqht inner, Nancy Brier, goalie, and lulie Harris, right fullback. Closing with the annual hockey banquet which featured awards, movies, and a ntenilier ot the All American Team as quest, the season, throuqli the ettorts ot Miss Austin and Miss Thomas, was well worth the time spent. ii i.., ni. bu ilitil Ililll. Any Monday or Wedriesday afternoon in the Upper Gyni ol the Coun- try Day School one may see the qirls energetically iiialcinq baskets, while on Tuesdays and Thursdays, while the girls practice technique in the Lower Gym, the boys impatiently take over. This year, although the girls have played enthusiastically with Kingswood, Liqqett, Lawrence Avenue, and Miss Newrnan's, the boys have had a niore successful season with D.U.S., Cranbrook, and Detroit Country Day, as well as several close qanies with the faculty. Cam i r fl 9' 'lv , I t 1 fb? A ,wf' s:n lm 3' 155' 's V s .X -3 4 A 1 During the winter nionths, the students of Grosse Pointe Country Day find fencing, bowling, and skating most popular. The fencing class, again instructed by Mrs. Lewis, was larger this year than ever before. A srnall tearn, selected from this group, crossed foils with tearns from several other schools. This winter a group of enthusiastic boys joined Mr. Werneken for frequent visits to a neareby bowling alley. Strikes and spares were increased daily, and the boys hope to forrn several competitive tearns next year. Witli the addition of a flood-lighted skating rink and a hill for tobogganing near the new clubhouse, winter sports took on a new importance this year. Many afternoons and evenings of skating or rollicking in the snow were cli- niaxed with a bit of relaxation and refreshment in the clubhouse. The Student Council of the Grosse Pointe Country Day School is fast be- coming a functioning body with real authority. This year, because there have been twelfth grade students on the Council, its prestige has been greatly advanced. The co-presidents, Agatha Greene and Alan Bodycombe, have both done outstanding work in acting as mediators between the student body and the faculty, and in making and enforcing laws of conduct around school. One of the most important achievements of the Council this year was the organiza, tion of a Court of Appeals which regulates differences between the students and faculty occurring as a result of the merit system. Other functions of the Council are the patrolling of the corridors and stairways, the supervision of study halls, the maintenance of the library, and the management of the Coin, munity Fund, Red Cross, and Christmas Seal drives. All of us thank Mr. Wetzel for his help in the Court of Appeals, Miss d'Avignon for her tireless work in the library, and last, but certainly not least, Miss Richardson for her constant and beneficial guidance. l.ll QTri-Star: Anne l'lMc'hvx, Blll Duffield, and Carrie Hubbell turn out some rush copy lor the TrifS!ur.

Carpenter the Tri-Star has proqreazaaorl from a simple minieoqraphed sheet, published first in December, l937, to a professionally linotyped newspaper with. pictures. Through the cofoperation of the members of the Enqlish classes, a systeni has been developed whereby the staff is always tiesixitwl of a larqe number of varied articles. A new opportunity for student literary talent was established this sprinq when the first Pen Pointe was published. This niaqa- zine constitutes the realization, throuqh efforts of the Encilish department and a qroup of interested students, of a lonqffelt need.

To round out our publication program we have attempted, throuqh our new yearbook, the Periscope, to record pictorially the various activities ot this school. Withotrt Mr. Carpenters une ending advice and aid in all details, and Miss d'Aviqnon's helptul suqqestions this book would not have been possible. We hope future classes will carry on this precedent with increasing success. I t l1I.I.l.l,l.ltIl Among the many features added to school life this year was the Glee Club, organized and instructed by Mr. Hanson and Madame Komarovsky. The boys and girls have met twice each week: once separately and once together. Besides getting a great deal of enjoyment, the members have all had some experience in part singing and have become acquainted with various new types of songs. The Glee Club, in addition to leading all the carols, sang three numbers at the Christmas Program and Will also take part in the commencement exercises. The interest shown by everyone this year has been more than enough to assure the Glee Club a regular place in each year's activities, and it is hoped that, in the future, the club will have more opportunities to perform in public. -.tw 'A X lwlxumx it ht vw 'kt B t, 1 4, 1- 1 llllkll i Aiiicuiiq this years iirsts, the orchestra takes its how.

Under the careful direction and guidance of Miss Spencer, the boys and girls have put on two successful shows and plan to have another this spring. The first of these, performed at Christmas, was a religious play, Dust of the Road, with Lorone Rickel, Barbara Barrows, Charles Searles, and Elizabeth Renfrew. The last play, Peter Goes to the Fair, was a musical comedy starring Dick DenUyl as Peter, lohn Sweeney, as Engels, the faithful butler, and Elaine Wallace as Alex, Peter's kangaroo. The stars were supported by a large cast. This year's success has paved the way for a growing interest in dramatics, and we look with confidence to the future success of the Dramatics Club. flnorone Hiclu-I qtvt-s ti vm but lluymq to Libby Rt-ntnfw .n 'Dust of thi' Roucif tm- Clin 'tmus pluy Hvodinq lf-tt to right, Dick De-nUyl sees the sights ot X Now York undur thu quid uncv of butler lohn Swen- ney while Gunthrctm Iorre and Bill Maxon, nn-wsboys, marvel ut thv mt-chunics of tin ultru modern cur.

Due to the lack ot tree time and darkroom space, the number of camera fans among the students is comparatively small. How- ever, those who participate are most enthusiastic workers. Among the photographic accomplishments of this year are the large, two- by-three feet, pictures ot athletic teams which were enlarged from small negatives under the direction of Mr. Nelson. Several of the student photographers have been experimenting with a new pro- cess tor color printing, but, as this is a long and tedious job, it has not yet become a perfected system.
