Good evening, folks, this is Glen Noble broadcast- ing aboard Frank Houser's luxurious yacht The Oak celebrating the 10th anniversary of that well known 1936 June graduating class of the Royal Oak High School. The orchestra, dressed in very becoming ma- roon uniforms, under the leadership of Bud Brossard, familiarly known as Brossard and his Buddies, is seated on a floating golden dias whipping up the strains of Classmates on Parade. Kenneth Haith is at the piano with Richard Ball doing his best at the tuba. Richard Hefferan is playing the drums, and there is Ricardo Landersowski and his violin. The crowd is milling in now. My, what a fine crowd. The odor of the maroon petunias and the golden daffodils, the lapping of the waves, the lights in the distance, the twinkle of the stars, and the light of the bright moon through the window with the soft wind brings the holiday atmosphere to this great occasion. The charming Newport socialite, Doris Reid, is graciously greeting the guests. While the guests are chattering and being seated, let's take a trip to the kitchen where Wilbur Westen- hofer, the chef is seeing that Ed Saulnier, the Chief Cook and Bottle Washer, is really washing the bottles. Back into the main dining hall, we find the waiters, Fr-eggl-I-igon, Bjidillawson, Ing-sBEnkert, and Henry Hubbell, seating thergtresfs. Ah, but look who is arriving now, no one but that famous snake charmer, Mary Gilliam, escorted by Bob Gear. Coming in with them is Marguerite Adams with Clar , and there is Dorothy Goode with Don Branch. Dorothy is wearing her famous imita- tion pearl necklace which she inherited from her great aunt. From my position I can see Mrs. Beth Chap- man Giddings Irwin Moore with Kenneth Ayton, the play boy. trying to persuade Dorothy Lumsden and Wayne Wolcott to join them at their table. Just stepping in the doorway is that well-known Smith family Barbara, Hadley, Peter, Robert, and Virginia. They do look bright and happy. One girl certainly wasn't enough for Norris 4TarzanJ Dyet who has brought both old girl friends, Helen Freeman and Marybelle Hoffmeister. The entrance of the heavyweight boxing champ, Joe C. Rogers, and his bodyguard, Burdette Campbell, has caused a slight revolution with Erna Kuehn, the PAGE FIFTEEN famous Hollywood actress arriving with her new lead- ing man, Dick Stout. How proud I am to be one of this class! Miss Kuehn will be soon seen with Mr. Stout in their new picture, Love's Last Call. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Gulian fthe former Eileen Bowerl have taken a table with the Stanley Browns-Mrs. Brown being the former Wanda Hancock. Now Martin and Tillie Kohn, joint owners of the Ritzy Ritz depart- hent stores in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Paris, and Royal Oak, are chatting with Mavis Mitch- ell and Jane Miller, missionaries on furlough from China. The well-known under-cover girls of the B. B- B. B. Secret Society, Grace Baldwin, Betty Bassett, Donna Beyette, and Barbara Backus, are quietly hav- ing a cocktail at the bar. Helen Hilliard and Jack Dempsey with Marie Burdge and Leroy Hansen have just arrived. Helen has been awarded the title as the best-dressed woman in America. Among those on the dance floor, I see the sociol- ogist, Wayne Rairbairn, and his wife, Dorothy Jame- song Joe Finnell with his very chic French wife: John White, the cartoonist, and his wife, Rita Liskeg Fred Porter, New York's well-known horse dealer, and his wife, Marian Noleng Bill Landstrom, astronomer, with wife, Ruth Fraser, Wilson Cudworth and wife, Norma Frinckeg those hard-hitting Tigers and their wives are having a swirl, Pete Ganich and Hazel Leachg Ed Gerhardt and Gertrude Van Esleyg Robert Dundas, proprietor of Soggy Bread Co. is skimming over the floor with his wife, Mildred Psenicka. The winners of the latest marathon dance held at Les Werner's Amusement Park are Marjorie Wooden and Leroy Tree. Forming a stag line on the right is the very hand- some and eligible Bob Brooks, the garter king, the fascinating Charles Buck, undertakerg the Oxford val- edictorian graduate, Garrett Mouw, looking very bored: the salty sea-captain, Joe J. Rogers, and his gobs, Malcolm Shellington, Robert Snow, and Ed Uhler are receiving more than their share of pretty smiles from the girls. The traveling salesmen, Don Giddings and Harold Furman, are swopping stories in the center of the Hoorg Earl Watch, the warden of Sing Sing Prison has an eye for ally the balloonists, Cecil Luttenbacker and Edward Langley complete the stag line. Stuart Ries is working as a potter in the New York Pottery Co. Richard Childs has gone in for a pro- fessorship at Yale. Gerald Irwin has made use of THE OAK . his southern drawl, and is appearing in amateur units in the United States and Europe. Unconventional though it may be, on the left is the unusual girls stag line consisting of the school teachers, Mary Jean Moss and Jeanne MacKenzieg the owners of the Uhley Veterinary Hospital, Helen and Luellag Winifred Gardner, imitator of babies over Station WEXLg Louise Theobald, practicing medicine in Boston, with a very fine business at thatg Jeannette Hanchett, president of the Woman's Feder- ated Clubs of America, in a devine gold evening gown, Genevieve Spalding, the novelist who has been awarded the Noble prize for her book The Last Cur- tain g Teresa, Tasch, the sculpturistg Barbara Mat- tingly, the artist: Betty Turner the evangelist, Cor- inne Larime, a social worker in the slums of Chicagog the jazz lyric writer, Audrey Morrisong Eloise Pugsley, owner of a large chicken farm in the hills of New Hampshire, assisted by John Malinoski and Jeanne Rorickg Geraldine Schroff, owner of a pet shopg and Melva Silvey and Gloria Voebel, proprietresses of a nudist colony in the South Sea Islands. The Anderson team, Lorraine and Dorothy, are the owners of the Can't Tell It From Your Own estab- lishment which guarantees natural-like blond hair. Dorothy Crysler is the matron of the Ethiopean Orphanage. Edith Elrod has taken the position of converting the S. S. Kresge Stores as positions for girls instead of jobs. Dorothea Hoemke is the seam- stress for Shirley Temple frocks, which are still on the market. Clarence Fry, who is owner of the Fry Circus, has entered accompanied with his troupe: the sword swal- lower, Bill Fraser, the lion trainer, Eleanor Eckel, and can she train lions? And how! Why not? The aerial perfomers consist of Lois Fraser, Rosemary Garrison, Doris Gildner and Lillian Sorenson, the fortune teller, Jewel Schiebold, dressed in red and orangeg and the barker, Bill Place, which ends the circus. But who has arrived! None other than Jim Moore, Royal Oak's leading dog catcher, all decked out in high hat and tails, white carnation, spats, and cane! England is well represented with the arrival of La-dy Bertha Haley in the comp:ny of the Duke and Duchess, the Earl Dendels, the duchess being the for- mer Marjorie Gowatch. Ethel Gnass, who follows the royal family, has come with her husband, a Harvard graduate. She has settled down to a simple life in the country raising triplets, Faith, Hope, and Charity. Doris Wreggit, the rag rug heiress, with lorgnette and all, has arrived with John Jacob Astor IV. The women from the W. C. T. U., Betty Tuller, Margaret McGuire, Catherine McLay, and Franccs Swindell have shocked expressions at the appearance of the cigarette girls, Eleanor Filsinger, Agness Jen- nings, Maxine Holbrook, Mildred Adams and Char- lotte Krause. Mary Pearson, who married her old flame iguess Q who?J is selling magazines in the Michigan Terminal Station to help out the family finances, has arrived with Mildred Lechesfske, who has a beauty parlor in the Woolworth Building assisted by Jean Rutledge, and Elsie Marshall. Ramona Nass has taken up flying. and is an air hostess on a twenty-four hour trans- atlantic line from Royal Oak to London. Frederic Donaldson has arrived accompanied by his wife, Vel- va Weese. The new long distance swimming champion, Eve- lyn Glass, can be seen with her competitor, Rosella Greenbaum in the company of Charles Durst, a west- ern rancher, and his wife, Helen Haskins. Our other new champions present this evening are Florence Kanarske, Geraldine Kennedy, and Margarst Qott, the Round-the-World Roller Skate champs. .Ethel Nordin, the reporter for the Acorn Gazette, has just given me the latest news of the day. It has been reported that Bob Hengel had threat- ened to commit suicide if Bettiejane Tait married Charles Hepler, but she fooled them both and mar- ried Jack Parent. Charles went back to his first love Ellen Kcnnard-and Bob Hengel went- home to his wife, Marian White, and kiddies. Also, Virginia Groth has been found to be the other woman in the Morag Ferguson-Fred Linscheid divorce case. According to the press, Genevieve Townsend, an old classmate, is very busy helping her uncle put over the Townsend plan with all its intricities. I believe that the last to arrive before we begin with the program are the diplomats of the group, the Congresswomen Joyce Standing and Cleo Upton: the presidential candidates, Harry Warren, Republi- can, and Roy Rutledge, Democrat accompanied by the President of the United States, a. All stand, please. Following closely behind are the G- Men, , Gordon Gilbert, and ! I wonder if they are really as ferocious as they look. fPss-s-tl And now for the event of the evening,-the pro- gram consisting entirely of the stage and screen, and night club entertainers of Our Class. And now asthe -well, for heaven's sake-Surprise! Surprise!! SUR- PRISE! Classmates, if it isn't Miss Catherine Gunn and Mr. George Dyer, former senior advisors. Such a change, I could hardly recognize them. Miss Gunn is using a gilded cane and leaning quite heavily. Her step is slow, her greeting weak. Mr. Dyer, minus his mustache and somewhat thin- ner, is escorting Miss Gunn. He has on a large purple checked suit with a green tie. Such a reception they are getting! Now, since the excitement has settled down, and Miss Gunn and Mr. Dyer have been escorted to seats of honor-we'll really begin. The lights are being dimmed, and the yacht is leaving port,-pulling out to sea. Two pages whom we recognize as Violet Henrie and Richard Hooper are passing out programs for the evenings entertainment. The program is as follows: PAGE SIXTEEN CLASS REU IO June 16, IQ46 PRESENTING- THE RHUMBA TEAM .............................. , ....

P403 TWENTWFOUR f E' W Fw A 'C WT II W I GIRLS' LITERARY CLUB This semester, because of the fact that only a very few were lost by graduation, only six new members were taken in. As usual, both a formal and an informal initiation were held in the cafeteria followed by a dinner. Under the chairmanship of Erla Smith the club gave a lovely tea in the gymnasium for the mothers. Perhaps one of the most inter- esting meetings this semester was enjoyed by the 44 members when Mrs. J. H. Tracey gave a book re- view of If I Had Four Apples one of the year's best sellers. Her vivid portrayal of all the characters made it seem as if one actually knew them. The Girls' Lit club is known for its delightful annual spring dance, and this year was no exception. Barbara Backus was general chair- man and all committees worked hard to make it a success, and to all who attended it certainly was. Baskets were distributed to needy families during the holidays. TRAVEL CLUB Formed to enable high school students to become familiar with industries in this vicinity, the Travel club has sponsored many trips -this semester. Among lthe places visited were the Ford Motor Company, Detroit Edison, U. S. Rubber Company, National Bisquit Company, and the University cam- pus at Ann Arbor. Officers elected to direct the club activities include Guy Warner, president: Donald Branch, vice- presidentg Louise Theobald, secre- tary: Kenneth Ayton, treasurer: Margaret Cook, historian. Miss Sanderson is sponsor of the group, which is composed of 50 members. A banquet was the major social activity of the year, and the annual boat trip to be held after the close of school will attract many students. I-Il-Y CLUB The Hi-Y Club has just completed a most successful year. In the past inactivity on the part of the club has been caused by poor attendance at -meetings. This year, 1-however, PAGE TWENTY-SEVEN a new rule has been passed which brought the members out to meet- ings. Much of the credit for the suc- cess is due to the enthusiastic leadership of the president. It sponsored two all-school parties with the Royal Oak club: brought Mr. Grayearth, the Sioux Indian, to speak before a school assembly: subscribed to Mr. Grayea.rth's workg and attended numerous city and district Hi-Y meetings. With the RO club, the printing of swimming and basket ball schedules was sponsored. A word of credit should also go to the speaker's committee, to whom we are indebted for bringing Rev. Davidson, Mr. Grayearth, and others. - HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The Home Economics club of the Royal Oak High school was organ- ized in 1933 under the direction of Miss Mary Moore, home economics teacher. There were twelve members when the club was first organized and there are twenty-eight at the pres- ent time. One of the clubs annual events is the Mother's Day Tea at which the members entertain their mothers. The members of the club must each earn 50 points to receive a club pin, and abide by the club aims which are Service, Co-opera- tion, and Home Making. The present oiTicers are Helen Hilliard, president: Dorothy Goode, vice-president, Marjorie Eckert, secretary: Dorothy Davis, treasurerg Darel Holmes, publicity chairman. T. 1.i GLEE CLUBS The glee clubs are a part of the regular curriculum of the Royal Oak High school, open to any pupil with the love of music and ability to sing. The boys' club meets daily sixth hour and the girls' club meets daily seventh ho1u'. Both clubs have been under the direction of Miss Esther Mary Atkinson for the past two years during which time they have presented many in- teresting and varied programs. In November the student body . THE OAK W8.S 8I1t8l't8.ll'lEd by all unusual Thanksgiving assembly at which the combined boys' and girls' clubs presented three new school songs and two new yells which were car- ried out effectively with bright col- ored flags, hats, and sweaters. At Christmas time the music de- partment presented its annual con- cert assisted by the High School orchesrta and the Junior High School glee clubs. Two perform- ances of this program were given, one for the parents and one for the students. At Easter time the combined clubs sang the cantata The Cru- cifixion by John Stainer. This beautiful piece of work was given as an Easter service and was re- ligiously carried out by lighting effects and choir robes. The Grin- nell Music House kindly lent the school an electric organ to be used at this performance. Within the larger group are many smaller groups such as quartettes, trios and sextettes which have made a name for themselves by singing at many places around Roy- al Oak. They have sung at many of the school assemblies and been well received by the student body. The clubs plan to present more performances this spring in their own inimitable way. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Light is the symbol of truth. This is the motto of the National Honor Society. The emblem of the chapter ls the flaming torch which is the sym- bol of light borne into the dark places. Just as the Indian, in pri- mitive days, lighted his torch to en- able him to find his way through the dark forest, so must they who seek truth light the torch of knowl- edge. This society strives not only for a. high scholastic rating among stu- dents, but also for the developments of fine character, leadership, and service. Students from the 11A, 12B, and 12A classes are elected to the society on a basis of the above points. The organization serves our school by sponsoring paid assem- blies and supervising the flower fund. Flowers are sent to students THE OAK . f who have been ill for a long period. Each year the honor society holds a banquet for those students who have performed services of value to the school. .This is the greatest single event of the National Honor Society year. K New members are elected each semester, and are initiated in an impressive, formal ceremony pre- sented before the 9th grade group. FRENCH CLUB The French club has had a very enjoyable semester, and the 27 members feel that they have learn- ed a great deal more about France than can be obtained in classes. The custom of initiation of new members was carried out in a very amusing meeting both for the ini- tiates and the old members. In order that all members might become better acquainted, a social meeting in the form of an imagin- ery trip through France was held in Miss Friedrich's home soon after the new members joined the club. The club sent two members to the play Cyrano de Bergerac, and at a meeting Miss Pike very kindly read a scene from that famous play which enabled us to understand and appreciate it all the better. The University of Michigan loan- ed the French club some slides of France, and these provided a very interesting and worth-while meet- ing. In co-operation with the Latin club, the French club published the Francais-Latina. LATIN CLUB The Latin club was founded by Miss Hallet, the teacher of Latin at the high school in 1920. It is the second oldest club in the school. Although this clubis not a serv- ice club in the strictest sense of the word. it performs a very Worth- while service because its main pur- pose is to create and inspire a love. and interest for the Latin classes. Among the many activities of the club is the bi-ennial Roman ban- quet, the last one of which was enjoyed by nearly two hundred peo- ple. The club has a Saturnalia cel- ebration and publishes the Fran- cais-Latina with the co-operation of the French club. A social meet- ing is held -every month. .This club has an active member- ship of nfty. The officers are: Con- stance La Due, president: Ethel K i m m e l, vice-presidentg Walter Wrigley, secretaryg Peggy Seabright, treasurer. The sponsor is Mrs. Land. FORESTRY CLUB The Forestry club was organized in 1927. It progressed under the sponsorship of Mr. Tenhave until the summer of 1930, when due to the depression the club went out of existence for three yearsp' In the ll of 1933 an energetic group per- suaded Mr. Tenhave to again in- corporate the club. When the club was reorganized, work began on the second constitution which was adopted in March, 1935. Only two charter members are left, Alex Col- lins, president, and Dick Childs, vice-president. Two weeks before Christmas last semester the club had a scavanger hunt at John Tieman's home. Later in the season the club went out to Norman Hopkin's for a sledding party followed by a hot dog roast. The club spent February lst and 2nd at the Highland State Park cabin at Highland, Mich., under the direc- tion of o committee composed of Alex Collins, Hank Gruenwald, Herb Childs, and Donald Coates. In the early part of March the club fed about two hundred pounds of corn to the birds in Cunningham Park. This semester the club intends to start work on a nature trail around the boundary of Cunningham Park in addition to tending the ever- greens and hardwoods which we planted in our nursery at 12 Mile and Campbell roads last fall. Stan- ley Brown, Bob Whittaker, and Cris Sigardson are making preliminary arrangements for the Cunningham Park project. Before the club starts work on the nature trail, We intend to visit the nature trail in Hiver Rouge Park and to purchase tools to aid in the Work. The club is go- ing to Lansing to attend a meeting of the Michigan State College For- estry club. ATWAS CLUB The Atwas club was organized in February, 1928, under the adviser- ship of 'the late Miss Mildred Pahl. 'Iiren Miss Sarah MacFadden spon- sored the club. Miss Elizabeth Pike has been club director since. 'The past dramatic programs have been very successful. Q ' The club does not hesitate to ad- ' t that the spring dramatics sea- son has been excellent. The mid- year play, Sun-Up, was a great success, though the club had never produced this type of play before. The housexwas filled both nights as the curtain rose for the senior play, 'iSpooks. Whether it was the thrills or the acting in is difficult to decide but it didn't take long to realize that the play scored a hit with Mary Gilliam, Virginia Tracey, Fred Hil- ton, Mac Hobart, Erna Kuehn, Lloyd Newman, Gerald Irwin, and Jane Brandt as seniors in the cast. The theater party of club mem- bers who saw Cyrano de Bergerac, starring Walter Hampden, unani- mously agreed that it Was' an un- usual opportunity and not to be missed. n G. A. A. The Girls' Athletic Association had its origin back in 1929 when few girls who were interested in ath- letics desired to form a board which would control the growing interest in the girls' sports program. ' Before the G. A. A. was organized each class was represented by one team. The captains of these teams met monthly at a luncheon. Final- ly in 1929 they drew up a consti- tution and adopted a point system in which a girl could 'work for her letter. The new constitution .pro- vided for two representatives from each class which controlled the ac- tivities of the girls. ,V In 1935 the constitution was amended to permit every girl who earned an R. O. to become a mem- ber of the club. During this year the club' has sponsored two, All-School parties- and its acclaimable anual co-ed party at which the girls of 'the school dress in costume and vie for prizes. Q V These parties are sponsored 1 for the purpose of providing the organ- ization with .enough money- -with PAGE. TWENTY-EIGHT which to buy the girls' athletic awards and such sport equipment as the school is unable to furnish. These letters are presented at the anual athletic breakfast. This year the club has bought new ping-pong tables for use in the gymnasium. The present officers are: Jane Watkins, presidentg Doris Harms, secretary, and Helen Smith, treas- urer. The girls' athletic department has been very happy to welcome Miss Emma Doerr as assistant gymnastic instructor. WASHINGTON CLUB The Washington club was first originated by a group of seniors of the 1920 class discussing among themselves the possibility of going to Niagara Falls. Mr. Geo. A. Don- dero had just finished addressing the members of the school one day when a few of the seniors happen- ed to mention their vague idea of going to the Falls. Why stop there? he asked them. Go on to Washington. Miss Edith L. Crane, principal of the high school at that time, took over the sponsorship of the group and helped them plan ways and means of earning their way. In order to do this, the seniors started a cafeteria in the foods room of the home economics department in the Junior High building. The group then became known as the Wash- ington club with the slogan earn- ing our way to Washington. The activities of the club gradually in- creased until it was reorganized in 1926 and the set up was similar to what it is now. The present ad- visers, Miss Catherine M. Gunn and Mr. Geo. W. Dyer, were given the leadership of the club at this time. During the years 1929-32 the group included New York in their trip. But due to the depression and the difficulties found in earning the extra money, this has been aban- doned. The itinerary now includes a trip by boat to Buialo, train from there to Washington, three days sight seeing around the Capital, then home via the same route. The trip lasts five days and has always been taken after June grad- PAGE TWEN'TY-NINE uation. So in view of the fact that June is a hot month and the school administration is hoping for a ten month school term, in 1937 the trip will probably be taken during spring vacation. i...i., . R. 0. CLUB The R. O. club is one of the most active clubs in the school. Last fall the club reached its heights when it sponsored several fine activities. One of the most important was the football banquet honoring the All- State football team. In co-opera- tion with the Hi-Y club several All- School parties were sponsored. In the past the R.O. club has do- nated money towards the comple- tion of the murals being painted in the auditorium. Among the other things the club has been doing is raising money for the athletic fund for injured players engaging in the sports at the high school. Next fall the club is planning to put on a benefit dance the night of the Ferndale football game. This money will go towards the doctor's fund to take care of the injured. The club for a number of years has been under the successful lead- ership of Burrows Rathsburg. This year he has been ably assisted by Wesley Nott, swimming coach. The officers this last semester were: Jim Moore, president, Bur- dette Campbell, vice-presidentg Don Giddings, secretary: Joe C. Rogers, treasurer. COMMERCIAL CLUB In 1932 some of the commercial students of the school wanted a Commercial Club. Upon their own initiative they organized, and under the direction of Agnes Schreiner fclass of June, '32J drew up a con- stitution. Miss Hazel Geer was asked to be the adviser and in Jan- uary the first meeting was held. The club's purpose is better to prepare ourselves for business, to broaden our knowledge, to obtain and retain high scholastic standing in the commercial field, and to pro- mote a closer spirit of co-opera- tion in the commercial department. The programs of the club are var- ied. During the present year there have been speakers who have given . THE OAK the members practical suggestions and information relative to busi- ness. Also there have been demon- strations of office machines. Parli- amentary procedure is studied at the beginning of each semester so that new members may participate correctly in the business meetings. The initiation party was a very suc- cessful affair. In June, 1934, the first party for the alumni was given and since then the alumni have been entertained every year. This gathering is now looked forward to as the outstanding social event of the club. l i REBATE CLUB The Debate club was organized in the school year of 1921-22 and from it the members of the debate team were chosen. The team has parti- cipated every year in the prelimin- ary debates and nine times in the eliminations. In 1928-29 season, the team won the state championship and the following year were in the semi-finals. The championship team was composed of Dorothy Davis, John Lederle, and Edward Aldinger. This year the team was broken by graduation. The new team, com- posed of Robert Oesterlee, Dorothy Miller, and Elizabeth Tuller, won three out of four of the preliminary debates. These people received a small gold medal from the Detroit Free Press, and the school received a large plaque for the participation in the elimination debate. At the conclusion of the league season, the debate club sponsored a series of inter-class debates for the 9th and 10th grade English classes. In these debates 85 students par- ticipated. , '! 'E LIBRARY STAFF The school library is pre-emin- ently a service department in the school, the center of reference and reading activities for all classes. A great deal of detailed and routine work must be accomplished daily in order to maintain the efficiency of a library-much more than a li- brarian can take care of alone. It was with this purpose of helpful service to the librarian, teachers and students of this school that the Library staff was organized 11 years l THE OAK . ago Uanuary, 19259 when a little band of five volunteer library help- ers began their library activities. Since then the staff has grown from five to thirty and increased its ef- ficiency and the activities under- taken. The purpose of the club is to pro- mote a feeling of co-operation and good-fellowship among its members. Class training in library methods and practical work in the library provide an education, not only through study, but also through re- sponsibility and service. In recent years the staff has been organized into a club including staff members and library monitors which meets each month to take care of club business and provide social good times. Most of the club's business is transacted in meetings of the staff cabinet,consisting of the club officers and junior and senior staff repre- sentatives. The most outstanding undertaking of the club this year has been to establish a library gift fund which we hope will be permanent. New and attractive bookplates, de- signed by the art department, will be used in all books given to the library. Social activities of the club includ- ed a Millionaire's Party at Jane Pet- .- house, a delightful St. Patrick's Day party at Sarah Hauke's. and the informal initiation of the twenty-two members of the training class at the home of Doris Codling. These new members were formally received into the club at a very impressive cere- mony in May at which time they re- peated their pledge and were pre- sented with their library staff pins. The Library staff also entertained the faculty at a very beautiful spring tea in April with Miss Claire San-d- ers, executive secretary of the De- troit Council of Youth Service, as the speaker of the afternoon. This organization is very ably sponsored by Miss Helen E. Camp- bell, librarian. The officers for Jan- uary to June, 1936, were: president, Ethel Benson, vice-president, Jane Pettitg secretary, Sarah Haukeg treasurer, Guy Warner, historian, Normaleen Richardson, senior rep- representative. Alf tr u d a Bell, and junior representative, Doreen Voiles- The Library Lines column in the Acorn and all club publicity were written by Normaleen Rich- ardson and Alftruda Bell. BAND The first Royal Oak High School band was organized in 1925 under the direction of Russel Brumbaugh, with eleven members. In 1926 the following instruments were bought: string bass, bass drum and a brass tuba. In the fall of 1926 Mr. Brum- baugh was succeeded by Mr. Fred- rick Green. The band increased to about eighteen pieces. In 1927 the present high school was built and Mr. W. J. Denman was chosen as the new director of music. In a very short time the mem- bership increased to thirty. New instruments were purchased to fill up the growing ranks. An entire new musical library was purchased, gradually increasing the caliber of the music. In 1929 the band began playing for football and basket ball games and other school functions. Uni- forms were acquired in the spring of 1930. Standards have been constantly rising from the time of organiza- tion. Under Mr. Denman's direc- tion the band first started playing Class C numbers. The band now plays Class A numbers. Last summer the band entered the Michigan band festival, for the first time and carried away the highest honors. Mr. Denman expects the band to very soon increase to sixty mem- bers with full symphonic instru- mentation. Mr. Denman is a grad- uate of the New England Conser- vatory of Music in Bostong four years member of the New England Conservatory Symphony Orchestrag one year member of the Harvard University Symphony Orchestra, one year with the Royal Scotch Highlanders' Concert Band, two years with the 115th U. S. Infantry Bandg and graduate in education at New York University. At the present time the band has a fairly well-balanced instrumenta- tion of thirty-six. MARIONETTE CLUB The Marionette club is just now beginning to get to work on its puppets. The club was organized on Wednesday, May 13, with about ifteen members. The officers are as follows: President, Fred Hiltong vice-pres- ident, Richard Flug secretary, Chris Montrossg treasurer, Louise Theo- bald. Meetings are held every Fri- day afternoon in the art room. The members of the club are build- ing their own stage, setting, and puppets. The two plays which they are now working on are The Mer- chant of Venice, and Poor Mad- alina. Other stage committees are to be elected, CHOICE NUTS FROM THE OAK TREE By Squjrrely Oddities of some of the wormier ones. 1 1 1 Fred Donaldson-The poor boy tl.1I'I1S gI'BEI1 when he SESS 8 WOITIRII. 1 it -lr John White-Trying to live in the same room with himself, pretty crowded. 1 1 1 John White-He never cracks a smile. ll 1 1 Jim Thorburn-A little loud and forced but effective.

It was appropri- In reviewing the sports achieve- ment of Royal Oak High during the past semester, we are endeavoring to make a more interesting and ately decided that the captains of the teams would be the ones to write the record of their particular sport. Of course a word must be added about the undefeated and untied football team, even if that was not included in this semester's sports. The team completed its greatest season to tie for the state cham- pionship. This was mostly due to the work of Jim Moore, captain and quarter back: Joe C. Rogers, end, chosen as one of the two best in the state, Don Giddings, half backg Dick Hefferan, guard: and the other seniors who made the season so successful. BASKET BALL We then come to the basketball season and hear from Co-Captain Al Holcomb, who collaborated with James Thorburn, another regular on this story. Al says, Royal Oak High Schoo1's basketball quintet, -under Coach John J. Baldwinsdirection, had for the second year in succession one of the best teams in the history of the school. Led by Captain Norton, the first semester team compiled the im- pressive record of 7 wins and two losses. Crippled by the loss of the 3 scoring aces, Finch, Norton, and Hallock, the second semester team composed of the veteran Co-Cap- tains, Al Holcomb and Don Gid- dings, plus five first semester re- serves, Shaw, Furman, Thorburn, Brooks and Rogers, went on to make an equally impressive record of 4 wins and 1 loss. The new combination lost a heart- breaker to Fordson 21-19 to start out the new semester. Wyandotte was the first victory in a string of four that the Acorns compiled to close the season. Holcomb was high with 8 points. St. Mary's of Royal Oak was the next easy vic- tory for the Oaks. Shaw was high man with 8 points. Thorburn PAGE THIRTY-THREE ATHLETICS Yea! White! Yea! Blue! Yea! Team! We're proud of you! next with 5. St. Mary's were out- classed from start to finish by the far superior Oaks. The score was 29-20. East Detroit was the next scalp the Oaks collected by a score of 31-13. Brooks dropped 5 long tosses to lead the scoring. The Oaks ended one of the most brilliant season's in the school's history by trimming Mt. Clemens 29-17. The Oaks were outclassed by Pontiac in the regionals to the tune the game for Pontiac and Holcomb oi' 28-16. Stafford was the star of was best for Royal Oak. SWIMMING Then w.e come to a candidate for the honor of being the smallest captain of a varsity sport in the high school, that is Jhon White of the swimming team. John may be small, but his opponents in the 220 yard event were even smaller than he when he finished trim- ming them. He says, The 1935-36 swimming season has introduced the first local splashes since 1932- 33 season when that team did con- siderably better than the new in- experienced squad. Winning only half the meets, hats off to Mt. Clemens, Fordson and Pontiac, the team was con- sidered lucky. It was not the mere good fortune that carried the Natators to victory tsuch as it was? but their constant hard work and the able leadership of Coach Wes Nott who took over one wild bunch of kids. Frederic Donaldson, who was an outstanding swimmer this season. had some practice in Detroit schools. Placing third in the fifty yard free style at the State Swim- ming Meet, he held the only points taken by the Acorn Next year and the should develope fins Dave Mathews, Bill water beaters. year to follow and scales on Burgess, Bud Le Roy and Jack Frazer, who has done all right by himself the past season. Promising young swimmers who should swim circles arounnd competitors before they gra-duate next year. are Richird Flu, Jerry Thompson and Bud Mc Donald, breast strokers. . THE OAK BASEBALL Edward Gerhardt, for three years regular short stop on the baseball team, was the next captain to be interviewed. Although Ed is a base- baller with par excellence, he was rather reluctant in giving this story, because of his masculine shyness. Ed says, Our season to date has won 5 and lost 3, and 2 have been postponed. The first game was with Hazel Park, whom we should have easily defeated, and we were beaten by a score of 4 to 2. In a two-game series, we next defeated Pontiac by a score of 5 to 4 and then a week later defeat- ed them by the score of 10 to 8 to complete the slam. Birmingham and Dearborn were our next victims. Both were shut- outs, and we scored 6 runs against Birmingham and 7 against Dear- born, as Pete Ganish, our number one pitcher, turned in a perfect game with no runs, no hits, and no walks to his credit. Because of numerous errors, Ferndale then eeked out a 2 to 1 victory in spite of the fine hurling by Morris Kirkwood. We split a two-game series with the Fordson tractors losing the first game 4 to 8 and coming back to win the second 3 to 2 the next week. Contests yet to be played at the date of this writing are: May 23-Fern-dale. May 26-St. Mary's of O. L. May 27-Birmingham. June 2-St. Mary's of R. O. We are depending on the pitch- ing arms of Pete Ganich, Bob Brooks, Bob Bubb, and Morris Kirk- wood to bring us through this last series. Seniors to be lost by gradu- ation are: Don Giddings, Harry Warren, all the first string pitchers, and Burdette Campbell. They will be ably replaced by Ed Shaw, Bud Chamberlain, Connely G i d d in g s, Walter Joyce, Jerry Hughes, and an ambitious and capable group of un- der-classmenf' Al THE OAK . TENNIS Although the tennis team has no captain, Clark Kellogg, number one man was approached and said, The less said about the tennis squad, the better. We have lost all our meets this year, but the squad has been improving. The regulars who worked hard in spite of defeat were Leroy Tree, Hadley Smith, B. Bee- man, Ingvald Brenkart, and Rich- ard Childs. We are confidant that the team will make a better record next year because of improvement of reserves. GOLF The golfers had a very successful season winning three, tying two, and losing one. Bob Marshall, captain of the team says, We started the season by winning the first of a two-game se- ries with Birmingham, 9w to 2M, they later tied us 6 to 6. Mount Clements was beaten and tied by a score of 8 to 4 and 6 to 6, respectively. Pontiac handed us the only de- feat of the season, 8 to 4, after we had set them down 8Vl to Sw. Other members of the first team are Gilbert Hessel, Jack McGill, Wayne Fairbwin, and Walt Wrig- ley. Next year McGill, Wrigley, and two reserves, Jim Anderson, and Kenneth Julian will be back. TRACK Joe C. Roger, captain of track and an all-around athlete was next interviewed. He spoke about the splendid team which won the re- gional this year. Joe says, This track season of '36 has been an ex- ceptionally good one for Royal Oak because of the return of a great many veterans, and a well balanc- ed team. After winning four out of five regular meets twinning from Mount Clemens, Algonac, Ferndale, Fordson, and Wyandotte, and los- ing to Birmingham by 1 1-3 pointsl, the season was climaxed by RO's victory at the Ferndale regional. The individuals who were the point getters CMoore and Rog- ers amassing the most pointsl are as follows: high hurdle - Rogers, Semraug 100-Moore, Galbrath, and Currieg 220-Moore, Galbrathg low hurdles - Rogers, Meehan, mile- Northway, Hogan, Charltong half- mile-Floria, Hilliard, 440-White, Gormang high jump - Rogers, Webbg pole vault-Webby shot put -Angleson, Heffran, Holcomb: broad-jump - Currie, Moore, Gor- man: relay - Moore, White Currie, Galbreth, Meehan, Rogers. Royal Oak also has seven men who have qualified for entry in the state meet at Grand Rapids May May 23. They are: Moore, Rogers, Currie, Floria, White, Angleson, and Heffran. This rounds out the best track season Royal Oak has had for a. good many years. G'i1'l's Sports Having captured all the fall hon- ors hockey, swimming, and volley- ball, the Red Streaks, the 12A team, continued their rampage through the winter season and came through With flying colors. The Red Streaks met some keen competition in the basket ball tour- nament. The Frogs, last year's winners, with 25 points, were nosed out by the Red Streaks with 27 points, who won the Dorothy Cow- en Memorial trophy. The physical education depart- ment this semester sponsored an entirely new kind of program called Twenty Froggies Went to School. Miss MacArdle wrote and directed it. The pageant was held in the pool, and consisted of swimming, dancing and music. But, I must add that as this goes to press, the champion Red Streaks have been defeated in both of their baseball games. The graduating Red Streaks team will continue success and honors to the 9th grade Red Streaks. i HE WI-I0 LAUGHS.
