J., I llllll if if 1 'llll It was inevitable that someday a song would be written which was symbolic of our high esteem for the Royal Oak High School. To us such a song has been given by a rather quiet, unassuming, but alway industrious man. He was first a student in this school and later became a mem- ber of its faculty. He pursues his everyday course in a methodical manner, asking little, but giving much from the endless resources of his mind. We, who have had him as a teacher, have gained, not only a very fine instructor, but a man who is always willing to be our friend and counselor whenever needed. The January class of 1942 is therefore proud to dedicate its Oak to Robert Dunn. '5Q'0QDQxNoe'llf H .

Since the election of the two boys and one girl, in the persons of Orin Ahl- strom, Allan Ash, and Barbara Wheatly, to successfully fill the office of presi- dent of this body, to the giving of an equally successful dance, o11e would gather that this body, seating boys and girls representing the various home- rooms, has been extremely busy and busiuesslike. ak Aside from the undertaking of the dance-a Hallowe'en party Cto keep rest- less residents of the school amusedj- these young people have met at frequent times to discuss and decide matters of importance and interest to their school and students. if Among the problems studied were such things as abolishing the eighth hour, a possible pre-Thanksgiving Game celebration, and student activity tickets. This gives you an idea of the type of subjects which the body capably under- took. They are assisted and counseled by Mr. Albert Bowles. It is also added that it is such bodies as these that give young people a clearer insight into the true meaning of democracy.

Their strictness and Hpol- ish seems to uchipi' a little after school hours, as we see above.

THA K GIVI G il X W X ,Ll Long after graduation is over, the alumni look back with pleasant memories to their senior days when they helped to put on the big dance of the year, the Annual Thanksgiving Alumni dance. This year, with the absence of Mr. George Dyer, who so capably supervises the dance dec- orations, a more difficult job than ever was carried out with the full cooperation of seniors and faculty to make one of the biggest and most successful events of the year for many of the alumni, faculty, and students in Royal Oak.

It is this spirit of showmanship that has given our band a well-earned reputation. Few high school bands attend football games at home and away with the regularity of the Royal Oak High School band. The one man responsible for this and to whom all the credit should go is Mr. W. J. Denman, the director. Since Mr. Denman came to this school in September, 1928, one of his main ambitions has been to turn out a good marching band each year. Then, when the season is over, to alter it quickly into a concert band. One of the difficulties with which a high school director is faced is producing volume on the field and the right difference for concert playing. During the last two years the band has attended the State contests and won Second divisional ratings. Mr. Denman expects better luck this year with a more seasoned organization. Within the last year a point system has been devised so that members may earn their letter for band. This system is, in some respects, similar to that used in awarding varsity letters in athletics and acts as an added incentive to the members. Ulf music be the food of love, play on . . . ,' Shakespeare Music is one of the most beautiful ways of expressing one's feelings. It was with this thought in mind that numerous students of our high school became members of one or an- other of the musical organizations here. They found that all composers - both great and small-had the same feeling inside of them as the average American school boy or girl - feelings of romance, adventure, patriotism, love, joy, sorrow, and fear. At no better time in the year can these emotions be appreciated than at Christmas. The A Cappella Choir and Girls' Choir helped make it a joyful season by carolling through the halls for the enjoyment of the faculty and student body. To make the festive atmosphere complete, the Choir and Girls' Glee Club joined their voices to the other two groups in presenting an inspiring Christmas Concert. The vocal department under the direction of Louise Knudson Reavely has progressed greatly during the past years. This semester James Caldwell, a graduate of ROHS assisted with the A Cappella Choir. Throughout the semester representatives of each of the four groups sang on programs of various community organizations including P.T.A. Radio Programs and Founders Day Din- ner. They also appeared at school functions such as: Senior Tea, Girls' Literary Club Tea, Library Tea, Convocation, Student Talent As- sembly, and Baccalaureate. The Boys' Quartet was one of the most out- standing groups of the semester. The har- mony created by Jack Dempster, LaVerne Nan- carrow, Glen Edwards and Bruce Flu was en- joyed by all. The A Cappella Choir had the honor of pre- senting the new school song to the student body -a privilege long to be remembered by all its members. A record of the song was made and sent to our fine friend, Mr. A. H. Upton. Plains for the future are great. Work has begun on an operetta to be presented next semester. sw ,X ? ,Qc 6 if Q' ,, .,::-'2:.. x ,ff YL .2- We A 6935 !54Px95 900 N? 51 M ffuf gg A9 5uN27b465 R Q OFRND ci-' ND' 'wgvlfe Www F' ASL F, qyffI1iHf5gffW1:sfE'i' Mg Wigan?

Taking these facts into consideration and stressing the fundamentals of football, Coach French went to work, and with the help of his new backfield mentor, James Pixley, turned in six wins to one loss making this year's eleven one of the best ever boasted by Royal Oak. A tie score with Fordson kept the Oaks from clinching second place in the Border Cities League. As a result they ended up tying Mt. Clemens for second place honors. Sparkled by a superb backfield composed of Bob Martin, Charles Knox, Bruce Flu, ii X 2 Y A , 4 my and Jack Shader, the Acorns started putting on the heat. Each game they improved, and the line, which started with just a bunch of boys, rounded up into a first 1-lass forward wall. ,lim Dallavo and Johnny Gauss were the spirited ones who enabled Don Jensen, ,lack Lester, Orin Alstrom, Bob Stauffer, Bob Groves, Howard Delevan and George Papageorge to work together and make the line the impassable steel barrier tllat kept the Oaks on top in most of the games. Bowling was only partially successful this year as eight teams were made up under ,lack Schmitt, secretary. The season is still going and will continue until spring. ..Ba4Aez'AaJl...5 The cross country team of 1941 was not the state championship team of the preceed ing year, but this was through no fault of Coach Robert Dunn. The team was handicapped by the lack of members to qualify in the meets, and because of this, the boys were only bl a e to come out with one win to three losses. Outstanding work was carried on by Bill Thomas and Jim Cibbard.

Thomas came through first in the State Meet while Gibhard showed his ability in the Flint Central and Regional Meets by not only winning, but breaking the records in each. The tennis team under their new coach, John Baldwin, showed promise for future vam- paigns by playing ten matches and coming out with five wins for an even .500 average. ' Members of the Girls, Athletic Association find themselves looking back over the events of their three to four years of high school. Those of you who have heard the clatter and clash of sticks and have seen the eleven feminine enthusiasts dashing about Cass Field on Tuesdays and Thursdays, in rain or shine, know that this was the Girls' Field Hockey Team out for a hard dayis practice. Captained by Shirley Wing, mid scratches and bruises, the girls won two games, tied one, and lost one during the 194-1 sea- son. Although graduation will take most of the varsity team, the exceptional coaching of Miss Emma Doerr will produce more winning teams in the future. wauww... .W1...gmwz WINTEQ. 7 , SPO?-TSX ' ,Xa B B During the winter months, basketballs, volleyballs, ping pong paddles, 9 and badminton birds struggle for supremacy in the laughter-filled air of the girls' gymnasium.

Officers of the Atwas Club are: President, Alger Zaphg Vice-president, Phil Roger, Secretary, Mary Belle Evans, Treasurer, Pat VanderVelde. This semester we have Miss Helen Knollenberg, who took over Miss Eli- zabeth Pike's work. The senior play this year, 6'June Mad was a huge success and was en- joyed greatly by the community. The story concerns Penny Wood fPhyllis Lanej and Chuck Harris KAI- ger Zaphl, the boy next door, as they go about the frequently difficult, but al- ways amusing business of growing up. W h e n Penny's Uncle Mervyn fBob Rossj only five years older than she, brings Roger Van Vleck Uack Angerj, a senior and a killer-diller, home from college, she forgets to be a man-hater and succumbs to an attack of calf love, which is ten degrees worse than measles. In her efforts to make herself attractive to the fascinating Roger, she almost dis- rupts two families, but the discovery that Roger is double-crossing Mervyn by trying to steal his girl CLeona Bailyj, brings her back to normal, and, incident- ally, to Chuck. Other parts were: Mrs. Wood Clrene Plattsj, Dr. Wood Uack Dempsterj, Milly Lou CV i r g i n i a Formazj, Mr. Harris CBob McDonaldQ, Effie QMari- on Billyardj, and Elmer fMarty Hanrahany. The cast of players and committees were chosen from members of the Atwas Club, bringing out excellent work and cooperation that is a credit to Royal Oak. The metal shop, under the instruction and guidance of Mr. Harold Mumbruc, served a two-fold purpose to the school and community. Besides the regular classes for high school students, a new innovation has been included, tllat of National Defense training for men during the evening. The metal shop, largest shop in school and under a new fluorescent lighting system has similar training for students and National Defense trainers that qualifies for immediate industrial placement. ln the wood shop classes, the stlldents have a new and more adeq- uately equipped shop in which to learn all the knowledge connected with tools and nlaterials available for their use. Some of the helps to be derived from woodworking c l a s s e s are guidance values, leisure time activity, tool knowledge and skills, and ap- preciation of a job well done. These are all of the negative value to so- ciety unless they are backed up by the proper attitude toward his fellow worker by the boy. So to this end Mr. Glen Hannan and his boys strive. The print shop is where the school has the majority of its printing done, such items as pink slips, etc. and the Acorn. Mr. Donald Cook directs and instructs his boys in the technique of operating and setting type and the various other skills and necessities involved in the operations of printing. In addition to these shops, Mr. Harold Anderson illltl Mr. 0. J. Flick- inger very capably give instruction in drafting as the basis for nmch knowledge and Inany ideas. In retrospect, we of the school are fortunate, indeed, to have such efficient and all inclusive shop departments and we should show our praise and gratitude in sonle small way. May this be our small token of the same. Sam! Spina' by Jack Gurche, class president School, and all the activities that accompany it, would be a partial failure without the unity of everyone involved. It is school spirit that spurs the team to victory, makes the social events a success, and in general, makes all un- dertakings easier. Lack of the ability to co- operate in a student makes the work harder for the teachers and the course less interesting to the pupil. In our last year of high school, with its in- creased activities, we graduates realized more than ever the value of whole-hearted coopera- tion and enthusiasm, not only from seniors, but from the school. We, the January class of 1942, sincerely hope that the students of the future will always strive to intensify this all-important ideal. I would like to take this oportunity to thank all members of my class for their fine co- operation and help, which has made our senior year one that will be long remembered by all those who are graduating. 14mfSzmzZwa2ff,ZafJymw1 if-,ar fwinqaafbeamf... fapawlqanpwzpwe if-k PEECH DEPARTME 'I' Royal Oak High School, a member of the Border Cities League, is noted for its fine speech work under the able direction of Miss Eva Moore, assisted by Miss Ruth L. Cowan. For tweny-one years, Royal Oak has won numerous plaques by taking first place in debate con- tests, a record of which to be proud. Students have taken debate work, graduated, and new students have stepped in to carry on in their places. From September, 1941, to January, 1942, the debating class was represented by fifteen students. October 3, 1941, there was at Royal Oak, a half day tournament in which 20 different Border Cities League teams competed, using 60 different debaters. On October 16, 1941, at Grosse Pointe, Royal Oak, Grosse Pointe, and Monroe compet- ed, with Violette Severance, negative, and Harry Landis, affirmative, representing Royal Oak. The affirmative team won. On October 30, Royal Oak was host to Monroe and Fordson. Harold Oldham, affirm- ative, and Werner Jessen, negative, representing Royal Oak. This debate was an Oregon style. This time the negative team captured the honors. November 6, Mt. Clemens played host with Wyandotte. Mt. Clemens and Royal Oak furnished the speakers. Virginia Rogers, affirmative, and Jean Engelhardt, negative, rep- resented Royal Oak, with the affirmative winning. On November 13, Mt. Clemens again entertained Royal Oak, and Monroe being the third school. Dwight Walsh, affirmative, and our smallest student, George Grantier, nega- tive, represented us, and the affirmative won. Royal Oak concluded its debating season by acting as host, for the second time during the season, by entertaining Mt. Clemens and Grosse Pointe on December 4. This debate was experimental. The members of the audience were allowed to ask any questions they wished of the speakers. The decision as to the winning team depended on the effectiveness of the answers by the two teams as well as their debate SPCBCIICS- Pfinfing by SCHOOL PUBLICATION 1 FI R E S I D E P SPECIALISTS , DETROIT I I G C U ' News and Pictures of all R.
