K nqwsawfiavm www The good name of Baldwin High School is not dependent upon individuals who have entered its doors. lt is a composite of the success of many stu, dents who have contributed their best over the years, in the activities of the school. Talent has been diversified in every entering class. Some have achieved athletic success while others have won academic honors in competitive examinations. Unusual ability has been demon- strated in Dramatics, School Assemblies, Publica- tions, and civic responsibilities. There are two points of view which must prevail if Baldwin is to continue her progress, or even achieve greater success. ln the first place, students must make sure that everyone is given a chance to contribute in some way to the life of Baldwin. This does not mean that leadership cannot continue in the hands of those capable of it. lt does mean that a search for the ways and means of discovering in- terest and abilities will be devised so that EVERY student will be drawn into some activity, and have a sense of belonging to the school. This responsibility is not solely placed on the leaders of the school. Students must develop a willingness to enter into the spirit of the school-to become a part of the activities in any role which may be necessary to make the program a success. The second point of view is that of attitude, which, as much as contribution of talent, is necessary to the success of the school. Every student should pre- serve a friendly, cooperative attitude at all costs if the atmosphere of Baldwin is to be conducive to rich participation by each member of the school. The merging of these two factors results in the teamwork which is necessary in that segment of society housed within the walls of Baldwin lligh School. Truly, it is a cross-section of life as it will be carried on in any other institution. For every ball carrier there must be blocking and interference --a determination for the school to win, supported by organized cheers from the sidelines, and the emo- tional tingle of music which brings every person to his feet as the Alma Mater is played by the band. Every student must make his contribution in terms of his abilities and interests. The degree to which this fundamental principle is applied will mark the development of a sense of pride in the accomplish- ments of his school. A good school is a team work proposition and the spirit of Baldwin must not only be preserved but fostered so that students will anticipate it before en- tering her halls, and treasure it in their hearts for long years after their graduation. Dwight B. Ireland Superintendent of Schools Une ecwiniae For five years I have. been associated with Bald- win High School. They have been exceedingly in- teresting years because they have been spent in working with an enthusiastic and challenging stu- dent body. If I were asked to describe them, I could tell the story well in two words -- busy and happy. This year, as one of the five, can truly be classed as one of the most interesting. A fine spirit has pre- vailed in the student body and the good name of Baldwin has risen to new heights. In activities and in the classroom this student body has demonstrat- ed that it is constituted of a group of young people who have faith in the future. Their sincere enthusi- asm is evidence of the fact that for them lite is ever an unfolding, enriching experience. As the principal of the school I have felt a grave responsibility to exercise constructive leadership trying always to help them acquire perspective which will enable them to live the good life as citi- zens in a free democratic society. Ross A. Wagner, Principal Baldwin High School Meei0m... The versatile members of the English department combine their ability to make English live with their unusual interest in school life. Assembled to discuss mutual problems are Dorothy Perry, lanet Bainbridge, Mary Hart- wick, Vida McGii'iin, and Dorothy Allen. Besides the difficult job of pounding in cases and endings, these members of the foreign language department all take part in directing our school plays. Ianet Bainbridge, supervision of make- up: Ruth Hull, director, and Lydia Ha- bib, properties. Some of our most interesting courses are taken in Hill School.

Posing in front of school are front row: Hank Price, Charlie Thomas, lim Ensign, back row: Pat Shiner, Betty Whitelaw, Sarah Breitenstein, Sherrill Wil- liams, Mary Grosvenor, and G e r r y W o o l e y, dynamic Maple cheerleaders. nge! MII Teamwork certainly made itself apparent in Nov- ember with the momentous doin's leading up to and including the Turkey Day football game. The Whole thing began when Frank Whitney, athletic director, presented to the journalism class an idea that had been brewing in his mind for some time. This was all that was needed to set the machinery in motion. Immediately the j o u r n a l i s m c l a s s accepted the responsibility of the entire campaign: and with Dick Stoll as chairman and Get That jug as the slogan, the wheels began to turn. With all the secrecy of a spy ring, the group worked underground in preparation for its first planned move. About two weeks before the game, little maple leaf stickers with Get That jug printed on them began appearing on the Windshields of faculty automobiles. Later every student was isf sued a sticker to put on his notebook, car or locker. Soon, the school's blackboards were covered with Get That jug written in every language from Russian to Latin. The public address announce- ments began and ended with the slogan, and Miss McGiffin had her students write it on all their papers. Meanwhile other committees were organizing as integral parts of the whole promotion campaign. The assembly club, working hand-in-hand with the journalism class, formed a joint committee to pre- pare and carry out the annual exchange assembly with Royal Oak. lim Ensign was put in charge of this group, and he organized it into two temporary groups: a script committee composed of himself, Dick Adams, Iim McCall, Tom Mills, jo Laucomer, Nancy Guest, janet Fishack, john Chantler, Cora Mack, Barb Kelley, Dick Stoll, and john Parsons: e Ma, and a sound effects committee with Phil Allen, Henry Muller, Ann Lundberg, and Sis Hanna. The main portion of the exchange assembly was de- voted to the radio play dealing with the Whistler, a ring of Communist spies, The Little Brown lug, and the captains of the Birmingham and Royal Oak football teams. Those in the cast were lim Ensign, lo Laucomer, Cora Mack, lohn Sheldon, Tom Mills, Bob Saffell, lim McCall, and George Burdick. Before it was taken to Royal Oak, the assembly was tried out on the home audience and proved hilarious. Monday prior to the game the campaign reached a crescendo. ln the trophy case were miniature editions of The lug to be awarded the players, managers, and coach when they returned victorious. Tuesday morning found a 'large canvas banner in front of school with Get That lug painted on it in huge letters. In the afternoon Royal Oak students brought their exchange program, and it was very interesting to contrast the two schools' assemblies. Wednesday the enthusiasm of the students cul- minated in the big pep rally at the Birmingham Theatre. This also had been well organized with the cheerleading squad, the Varsity Club, and Howard C. Holah, manager of the theatre, working together to produce a program to be remembered. With lim Ensign as the emcee, the rally consisted of a few remarks by Mr. Wagner, Captain George Burdick, Coach Secontine and several former Maroon captains. Following the movie Perils of Pauline, the mob of students filed out filled with rousing enthusiasm for the next day's game. GET THAT IUG IN '48l Another phase of the vigorous beforerqame activ- ities was the Whistler assembly taken to Royal Oak as an exchange assembly. Participating are Iim Ensign, Kokie Mack, lo Laucomer, lohn Sheldon, and lim McCall. The climax is reached and spirit mounts high when the big day finally comes and Birmingham and Royal Oak fans watch their teams anxiously. fa 1 s......i m':, ..,.:J: wwmtfx.. A 5V1: '4.Kf:., to -, sv: .Ji 5 rl ah rx -at mu Stuafemf The meeting will come to order! As the sharp ring of the presidential gavel fills the air, these four words set in mo- tion the wheels of Baldwin's legislative machinery. Discussion is brewing. What will Student Congress do now? This is a logical question inasmuch as the policy makers have engaged in so many activities during the past year that it is nearly impossible to prognos- ticate what project they will undertake next. ln the spring session the first object of enthusiasm was to capture the city hall for a day. There was no stopping these civic-minded Baldwinites. Their zeal for Civic Control Day not only made the project a huge success but also resulted in stirring up the interest of the townspeople in the annual municipal election. The Saturday excursion to Port Hur- on's league conference on better inter-- school relations did not extend the local congressmen. The Baldwin sol- ons very ably managed to monopolize the meeting, much to the distress of their dismayed adviser. This was only the beginning. The outgrowth of the conference was the birth of the Eastern Michigan Congress of Student Govern- ments. Yes, the Maples naturally as- sumed the lead in promoting this or- ganization. When the last days of May were rolling by, it was the unanimous deci- sion of the exhausted Baldwinites to reward their semesters efforts with a gay --and might we add, slightly ex- travagant - banquet. Devon Gables Serving Congress as officers this vear were Steve Campbell, Virginia Beinhart, lim McCall, Tom Mills, Phyl- lis Morse, ferry Yates and Gerry Hughes. Ricky Cunningham, lohn Parsons, Bob Beals, Larry Young, and Neil Stoll stack the many sacks collected on Bun- dle Day to await the pick-up truck. What would Baldwin do without Eve- lyn Horne, Sally Howard, Sally Smith and Bill Reid to brighten up the halls with their clever bulletin boards? 6 was the placeg the sky was the limit. As burdened waiters served the varied courses, the legislators read a special edition of the Baldwin Blast, en- gaged in heated debates, delivered disparaging orations, and reviewed the semesters accomplishments. As the school doors opened again in the fall, President Gerry Hughes and his reiuvenated Congress promoted one of the best field days in the history of Baldwin. A locomotive headed the parade and the students followed, garbed in the traditional red, blue, and green. The cheerleaders went wild as the class champions tilted on the field of battle. Who won? Well, that is a touchy question: but ask a junior maybe he will tell. Bundle Dayl No, it is not the laun- dry many just Student Congress col- lecting old clothes for the people of Europe. Were they successful? lt was all one could do to keep the clothes on his back from going abroad. But this wasn't the end. The representatives immediately set out to collect some 4,000 cans of food to feed these starve ing millions. These are a few of the activities chosen at random. lf only there were space, we could go on to tell of the first E M. C. S. conference, the Pagan Prom, granting concessions, the Bed Cross drive, revising the constitution, and much more. There is no end. Boy, what a year, and what a Student Con- gress! Wlfhen comes such another? lt's a bonnie candidate these laddies are rooting for. Doc Plant, lim Lurkins, Gene Hasse, and Don Wilson take the spotlight during the Congress cam- paign assembly. Birmingham went over the top again on the Can Drive. At the beginning ot the long line waiting to put their contri- butions on the tables are Kay Hall, Helen Hemming, and George Allen. Planning the Birmingham meeting of the Eastern Michigan Congress of Stu' dent Governments for October l8, 1947, are Fred Mallender, lim Milldebrandt, lerry Yates, Dick Adams and Virginia Carter. '7 Look out, here they come! This is a shout that is likely to be heard around 8:10 from a member of the usual morning congregation in front of Baldwin. He is referring, of course, to the almost continuous parade of students' vehicles of various shapes, sizes, and ages going by from then till just before the last bell-or maybe a minute or so after. Most interesting are the old jalopies dating from World War 1 tthe owners must be mechanical geni- uses to keep them runningl and the new '47 and '48 CCHS. Butch Page is lucky if he can make it up the incline to the parking lot in his 1917 T convertible. The 1925 T sedans of Hank Price and Warren Frayne are almost equally antiquated animated collections of junk. Zlniamiecf Bringing the students back,to modern times are such cars as Kern McKay's '47 Packard convertible and Al Wa.gner's Futuramic Olds. lf a student isn't careful, he is likely to miss seeing Bevan Allen's and Bud Carrick's Crosleys as they slide unobtrus' ively by behind the sleek sedans. In the spring and fall, motorcycles and motor scooters come by with a deafening roar, carrying Bob Pivitt, Bill Power, and Bill Humphries, among others. The variety is inexhaustible but space is not--so the miscellany can't be recounted here. Students who aren't lucky enough to drive cars drive with their fathers on the way to work, and there are those courageous lads and lasses who must rely solely on their two good feet. 26444104 In the spring a young man's iancy .ightly turns to thoughts of love, and it looks as if this saying applies to Ftollie McGinnis and Ginny Schaffer. Sipping sodas and holding hands :re just as much a part of school as studying itself. Marty Miller, Lee flanson, Ed Smith, and Lois Davison seem to be enjoying their sodas and each other. Whether it's carrying books or polish- ng shoes, sophomore pledges do rush Iround. Those caught in the act are Dan McGaffy, Ken Babcock, lohn Darsons, Herb Strassler, and Bill Wil- cinson. 5,1 Www me ,a , lohn Lurlcins is using the Michigan snow to good advantage, but Mary Ann Rainey is getting the raw end oi the deal.

Waiting for a shove to send them whizzing down the hill are Nan Mosby, Torn Seaholm, 'Tirn Reed, lim Helmrich and Mary Kemp. gm Aimwywk L , k,h V , . i f- , t ,l N if L ' Q L iv 553: E, X A, g ifgww 3 ll P f A if i Y rf , w Q 'Q K 5 1 - ' 'F 2 -MP3 5 ,D hi Q yr Q . i , , N vvwstlef 5' y if . fwtvjzli if it , .w ' Q0-,,. dr' Reiqwi 1494604 Proving that chivalry isn't dead, Bob Hcrrcling lcrces Icmice F1ernington's skates.

Gulping down the last drip of a melting cone, Mary Halladay and Dick Shallberg are found just outside the Portals to Success. Spending their noonhour in the usual hard fought game of ping-pong we find Don McConkie and George York. A pleasant way of spending the time off between ll:30 and 12:30 is enjoying one of the various mov- ies. Watching are Carol Miller, Mizzi Gilman, and Dwight Egbert. After rushing madly uptown to be sure of a seat, Pete Plumstead and Margie Vose at last relax at the counter while their soup is cooling. Qual Eefaaaioal Displaying one of her many talents, Boots Parks blows a bubble. Deciding on Whether to raise his het, Dave Wil' liams hesitates to wonder what cards are held by Bill Lewellen, Ed Matus, and Dick Murray. Marlene Barnes, Betty Conrad, Norma Lee Kass, Margie Wilson, and Carolyn Abbott, all agree they will Work long and hard to complete their knitting tor the men in their lives MMM This year's play was the smashing Broadway success Dear Ruth, by Norman Krasna, and it gave Birming- ham audiences two hilarious evenings. The play was under the direction of Miss Ruth Hull, long noted for her com- petent direction of school plays. Who can forget the jittery Albert and Bill, the wolf in 1ieutenant's uniform? Much credit is also due the other players, who spent long hours in prac- tice after school and eagerly studied their lines in dread of the great one- cent-fine-per-line! Varied properties also created a problem. How does one get enough lilacs to fill a stage or make a huge package of crackerjack look convinc- ing? These were just a few of the problems of the property committee and then, to top it all, what is stage liquor? All this goes to show that a school play isn't all glory and gumdrops by any means. Laurels are also due to Iudy Pardee, student director, who performed a very competent and reliable job. Getting back to the play. To those who didn't see it, Dear Ruth is a warm-hearted, feather-light comedy, de- lineating the trials of a girl subjected to a whirlwind courtship by an Air Force lieutenant to whom her younger sister wrote amorous letters-and what letters! Ruth is happily oblivious of this fact, is concerned at the time with a mild lover of her own: but when the lieutenant returns from overseas, he makes a beeline for her home. Varied complications arise, too numerous to mention, but in the end Bill gets the girl. Scene fqqain As tar as popular songs go, one will sit back and remember that the hit tune of 1948, I'm Looking Over a Four-Leaf Clover was number one on that year's hit parade. There are many of us, however, who don't know that song was a hit when our daddies went to College and that it used to be a big minstrel show. What better idea than to plan an all- ooy show around the theme of banios, :Jurnt cork, and So'th'n moonlight? This filled the bill with Gerry Hughes, and ne passed the idea on to the boys hemselves. The idea was to have the show as :rn assembly. At the first presentation ,t met with such wild approval that ,here was demand for the show as a 'egular night performance with admis- sion. It was sponsored by the 1948 Nashington Group which sold tickets o defray individual expenses. After long, hard practice, the show vas ready for the public. Miss Dorothy Xllen certainly deserves orchids for ter competent direction of the dusky ribe, as does Victor Ulrich for his ex- :ellent musical assistance. The show had all the traditional :onqs, dances, endmen jokes, and rappings of minstrelsy showed up vith a sparkle to the music of Clitt Dixon and his banjo to put a foot tap- aing note into the gay show.

Swimmers, position-get set-go was the now familiar phrase added to the GAA vocabulary. A swimming team was a new addition to the GAA this year. The project is still developing but the team pitched in with zest and won the first two meets with Pontiac. Every Tuesday night found Sally Buck, Betty Whitelaw, Carolyn Abbott, Beverly Yates, Mary Kemp, Betsy Drake, and Nancy Beck engaged in doing laps or trying to drown a fellow team member. An annual event is the Sharks' water carnival which combined this year with the boys' brand nev swim team to stage a show. Sally Bucks was presi- dent of the Sharks. . Another of the new activities which the GAA spon- sored was the girls' club basketball games. Two preliminary sets of games were played before the finals when Tiara Club won over Y-Teens. .

Glzanyeofpace With an exciting flourish of trumpets the Field Day parade started its march down the street. First came the band wearing any old thing. Then marched the mighty seniors in their traditional red and white garb and Choo Choo '48. The mightier juniors, their ranks a solid mass of blue and white, came next. Bringing up the rear the supposedly timid sophomores strutted their green and white. As the motley crew approached the tall gray fence of Pierce Field, a wave of excitement rushed over the weary paraders. The seniors were smug with the thought of their usual victory, but the jun- iors were sure that the tables were going to be turned. The sophomores were confident of third place, of course. The stands were filled, the flag was raised and the voice announcing the first event was heard over the public address system. At one end of the field the contestants gathered for the starting gun. Nervous- ness spread over the expectant students. One hour and each class would know its fate. One after an- other the games were run off: the classes cheered their entrants on. The end of the contests came nearer and the crowd became noisier. The last race was finished and a complete silence descended while the judges tabulated the points. The scores were announced and the seniors hung their heads. The victorious cheers of the juniors drowned out everything, for they had won Field Day for the first time in 15 years. Following as a poor second were the seniors, and the sophomores had their expected third place. fl' 765424 a Bcuaf! Highlights of the Baldwin Marching Band season were the two formations, Uncle Tom's Cabin on the home field, and the Band Fight at Royal Oak at the Turkey Day game. These formations showed the public something of the co-operation that is needed to make a band click. The students are grateful to the band for its support at home baskets ball and football games. The band program this year as usual was packed with such activities as swing-out and graduation, playing on Hallowe'en, Memorial Day, and'Christ- mas Eve. The annual concert and band festivals take their places on the agenda, too. The last time the band went to the district festi- val at Fordson High School it received a second division in concert playing and a first division in sight reading. This made the group one of only two class B bands to qualify for the state festival -from our district. The band was not able to go, how- ever, as a result of the conflicting dates of the fes- tival and spring vacation. First row: S: Quinn, R. Connor, L. Henshaw, D. Reed, H. Strasler, I. Rue, I.

This organization grew until it became necessary to have it divided into sixth and seventh hour classes with a total enrollment oi 80 members. The most outstanding appearances of the year were the three broadcasts over station WCAR. Two of these concerts were given during the Christmas season and one in March. Victor Ulrich, director, is very competent and highly trained. After receiving his Bachelor of Sci- ence degree from South Dakota State College he came to the University of Michigan where he re- ceived his Master of Music degree in 1938. Last summer Mr. Ulrich attended Fred Waring's work shop in Pennsylvania and observed the Pennsyl- vanians in intensive rehearsals. Members of the choir are C. Abbott, W. Abbott, B. Ackerman, A.

A new deal for Birmingham football came when Vincent Secontine was appointed coach of the squad. A graduate of the University of Michigan, Coach Secontine had coached for a short while at Kiski Prep School in Pennsylvania. In college Coach Secontine had played right tackle behind the great All American Al Wistert, and he continued his football in the Army until a serious shoulder injury forced him to the sidelines. Coach Secontine was faced with a serious prob- lem this fall with but four experienced players re- turning from last year's team. He immediately switched the team from a T formation into the pow- erful single wing used by Fritz Crisler at Michigan. Soon after practice started, fate dealt a hard blow to the team when Dick Adams, one of the few let- termen and only veteran quarterback, injured his shoulder and was lost to the team for the entire season. Despite all these handicaps, the team steadily improved. The boys lost their first two games only because of lack of experience not through any slack- ening effort. The Maples reached their peak when they held Port Huron, league champion and one of the two or three best teams in the state, to the sec- ond lowest score the Big Red had all season fBerk- ley having held the Blue Water team to a 7-6 scorel. With a three-weeks' layoff between the Highland Park and Royal Oak games, the boys got a short Pr. j4 M Me p,,,,f,,,,f ww 616014411 femdz rest. Vfhen practice resumed, it was noticed that the team had lost much of its finesse and co-ordi- nation. Coach Secontine had a problem in trying to bring the team back to its midseason form. That he was able to do it was proved by the showing Birmingham made against Royal Oak, holding the much heavier and more experienced Acorns to a scoreless tie. Many players from this year's squad will respond to Coach Secontine's call next September. Among these will be Clayton loyce, captain of the '48 squad. Clayton's work this season was recognized when he was given honorable mention on the All State team. Other lettermen back along the forward wall in- clude Lee Hanson, Rollie McGinnis, and Ken Mac- Oueen at ends: Dale Pearson at tackle: and Bob Hardy at guard. Backfield veterans who are ex- pected to return to the Maple gridiron are 'Walt Bodle, Colin Campbell, Earl Carten, and Dick Mur ray. First Row: K. MacOueen, B. Roualet, D. Purton, D. Groves, W.

Coach I. I. Myers was new this year, and this was the first time he had undertaken a running team. With the help of seven returning lettermen he had little trouble in getting the team into shape. Iim Anderson was by far the best runner of the year, finishing second in the state meet and running first in all duo meets except the Royal Oak one. He was elected captain of the team following the state meet.

Before the state meet the team went to Ypsilanti to run over the state course against the Michigan State Teachers' College freshman team. Although the team was defeated, Iim Anderson took first place. The last dual meet of the season was held at Lin- coln Park. Here Iim Anderson set a new record at 10:02 for the course, but Birmingham lost 27-28. XY-Y. X,-gratuaffzy E S by gfqyq 55514 f ,ft M 2 v..1f.-Ii Eqwayoff As in the political field, so it is in athletics. At the end of four years we make a summary of the accomplishments. The beginning of the 1947-48 bas- ketball season initiated Lloyd A. Cooper's fifth sea- son as basketball coach in Birmingham. Coach Cooper invented Cooper's Tether Tennis which lack Dempsey said was one of the best games for relaxation and keeping the minds of the men off the war. Probably his greatest asset as a coach is his abil- ity to develop good basketball players, for exam- ple, he took Bog Reynolds out of a gym class and made him into a very good shot and excellent ball handler. Coach Cooper's greatest accomplishment was the developing of Chuck Murray into an all- state player and beyond doubt Birmingham's great- est. ln his four years as coach of Birmingham teams, Coach Cooper has established a record of 58 wins and 29 losses. Playing in the state tournaments all four years, his teams have won four district and one regional championship and they have gone to the quarter-finals once. He started his coaching job the year before the Eastern Michigan League was estab- lished, and Birmingham has won the league cham- pionship once and taken a second place and a third. On his arrival in Birmingham he started basket- ball in the grade schools in hopes of having a better ball team in the future. -its ffgf X . in Coach Lloyd A. Cooper Top row: B. Saffell, C. Ioyce, D.

Considered at first a green team with little ex- perience, the '47-'48 Birmingham cagers finished the season with a most successful record under their belts. Starting early, the Maple squad journeyed to Lincoln Park for a pre-season tourney, where they trounced Melvindale 37-27. The next night River Rouge dealt the Maroons their first defeat 45-30. Birmingham placed second in the Eastern Michi- gan League race, losing two games to the league title holders, Port Huron, 30-29, 29-225 and one to Ferndale 34-22. A well coordinated Maroon zone stopped Royal Oak cold and Birmingham presented the Acorns with a 36-24 defeat to help avenge the 0-0 football tie. Seeking revenge for last year's shellacking, the Birmingham quintet lashed out at Dearborn, van- quishing the Pioneers 41-37. Wins over the Alumni and a weak Flint-Beecher outfit added two more triumphs to the record. Meeting little competition in the district tourney, Birmingham romped over Berkley 36-277 and the next night, with the whole squad hitting, the Maples steamrolled Clawson 53-24. An of-f night proved fatal as River Rouge con- quered the Maples in the second round of the re- gional battle 39-33. The Maroons' main weapon was theifast break offense and the fact that four regulars ended the season within seven points of each other: Folin 110, Littleson 108, Murray 106, and McCall 103. The grant total was l4 Wins and five defeats. Genome! Rosie Littleson set up the plays and with an amazing change of pace wheeled by many an op- ponent for precious buckets. Another play maker and long shot-artist was Jimmy Anderson, who also proved mighty valuable on defense. Despite an ankle injury, Bobby Folin became high point man for the year and the main candidate for the Zoellin freethrow trophy. Speedy dash man Dick Murray was the spearhead of the Maples' fast break and no mean long shot himself. The majority of the squad will be back next year, and Pat Wall is no exception. Pat consistently con- trolled both banks and played every position on the team. Bob Saifell, who suffered an appendectomy, was a stalwart on defense and used a good long shot to advantage. Mac Booth, shifty forward, was laid up during the tourney with scarlet fever. Alternating from center to forward, Duke Layland used his height to advantage. Skip Halpin showed a great deal of promise for next year with his sharp- shooting. Bill Downey, rugged reserve star, came up to play in the last of the varsity encounters along with scrappy Clay loyce. 1948 Seaman flecaad Birmingham Opponent Pre-Christmas Toumey 37 Melvindale 27 30 River Rouge 45 Regular Season 32 Alumni 18 39 Flint Beecher 27 22 Ferndale 34 48 Mt.

Building up a team from scratch, the tankers nevertheless turned in a good season's record. Under the eagle-eye of their capable coach, I. I. Myers, the Maples beat Hazel Park 45-39 and were runners up to Mt. Clemens in the league meet at the Bathers' pool February 26. This was the first league swim meet. Birmingham also entered the state meet Starting with kneebends, pushups, situps, and leg lifts, as conditioners, the next thing on the docket was to swim 30 or 40 lengths of the pool with their specialty stroke. The rest of the practice was spent in practicing turns, starts, and racing dives. All boys who placed in the league meet were given letters: and since Birmingham did so very well, l6 boys will get the monograms. Of these, 13 will be back next year. The letter winners are Gene Walrath, Steve Camp- bell, Don McClelland, Neil Stoll, Bob Webster, Ted Harper, Larry Miller, Dick Helgeson, Iack Adams, Carson Dalton, Dick Dean, Iack Goodwin, Bob 'Woodruff Lee Hanson, Frank Weaver, and Chuck Marshall. The dirty job of being manager and servant was Iohn Fricker's. He did a very good job and re- ceived his first manager's letter. Top row D Greig B Gouldman I Beresford G Meyrlck, VV. Abbott, L.

Ninety aspiring athletes, including ten lettermen, answered Coach Lloyd Cooper's call for recruits. After'but a Week of practice, some of the veterans traveled to the River Rouge Invitationals at the Uni- versity of Michigan's Yost Field House. The Maple squad's most outstanding performance was turned in by Bill Hickman who, after receiving the baton in twelfth place on the anchor leg of the medley relay, moved up and took the lead, only to be taken by a foot at the finish.

Pleasant, the mile relay team composed of lack Phister, Chuck Murray, lack McBride, and Duane Murphy won a distinctive golden winged foot trophy for placing first. After winning decisive victories over Port Huron, Cranbrook, Hazel Park, and Royal Oak, the Maroons entered the regional meet at Wines Field at Ann Arbor. In a drenching rain and numbing wind, the Maples ran away with 26 medals and qualified 15 men for the state meet in all but one event. In the State meet at Michigan State College the next Saturday, Birmingham finished sixth, with lack Phister and Dick Groves taking state championships. Phister flew the 440 in :50.9 tying the state record and setting a new school mark. For this perform- ance he was awarded for the second year the Bucky Zoellin Memorial trophy. This award, giv- en annually in memory of Bucky Zoellin, Birming- ham track star of 1943-1945, is given on the basis oi points for performance at the state track meet. Dick Groves heaved the shot 46 feet, ten inches to top the B putters of Michigan. Medley relay: P51-Xbbrecht, B. Shallberq, l. Car- son, I. McBride. Wd 1947 Seann '7aacA Recafu! Early in Iune the Maples romped to victory in the Eastern Michigan League meet at Hazel Park, tak- ing six firsts and breaking four records. Dick Groves' heave of 47 feet, 6V2 inches established a new league record, as did Chuck Murray's 5 foot 7 inch high jump. The 880 relay team composed oi Dick Murray, Bob Polin, Chuck Murray, and lack Phister: and the medley relay quartet of Iack McBride, Bill Shallberg, lim Carson and Pete Ab- brecht also established new league marks. To climax the season, the mile relay team com- peted in the University of Western Ontario Relays at London, Ontario, placing third with a time of 3:4O.8. Iac Phister was elected captain of the squad. Let- ters were awarded to Pete Abbrecht, George Allen, lim Anderson, lim Carson, Earl Carten, Bob Folin, lack Goodwin, Dick Groves, Sandy Gruber, Bill Hickman, Bob Littleson, lack McBride, Duane Murphy, Chuck Murray, Dick Murray, Hugh Quinn, Bill Shallberg, Rodney Smith, Stan Smith, Harry Sugden, Bud Worde, Dwight Egbert, and Richard Blaisus, managers.

X, ,YQ ti Prospects for this year's version of the Birmingham diamond dusters are considered fair with ll return- ing lettermen, or better than one for every position because .last year's team was composed mostly ot juniors, with Captain Bill Kindley, Chester Myron and lack Filkins the only senior regulars. Adding to the high hopes of fans, the team has had a full summer of American Legion baseball. This adds both interest and experience. Suffering from lack of experience, the Maples tied for fourth and fifth places with Mt. Clemens last season. The record stood at two wins and six loss- es in league competition, With Wins over Crcmbrook by Al Monrroy 2-U and Walled Lake 6-3 with Dick Blauman on the mound. Hampered by Wet grounds and generally poor weather conditions, the Maples had a hard time completing their 12 game schedule. This year the infield was resurfaced, and most home games are played in the latter part of May and the first of Iune. With the addition of a fence admission is now charged, and more care is used in keeping the field in condition. Birmingham Opponents 2 Cranbrook O 6 Walled Lake 3 3 Ferndale 9 O Ferndale 8 13 Mt.

It opened the sea- son by defeating Pontiac and lost only to Royal Oak. ln competition with Eastern Michigan League schools, Birmingham stood out as the season's top team, beating traditionally unbeatable Ferndale twice. Always the scoring was fast and close, but the squad, paced by Captain Ralph Dunbar, came through. At the end of the League season, Birming- ham was undefeated and was awarded the trophy. Dick Adams, '46 captain, was first man in the singles division for the season and finished with one of the team's best records. In second place, Harris Iackson played a fast game that often was the deciding factor in a meet. Although it was his only year in Birmingham Frank Lyndall was Ct great asset to the team with his steady dependable game. The pride of Birmingham's tennis squad was the doubles team of Iohn Bones and Dave Ballentine. This duo won all scheduled meets. At the regional tournament in Monroe, Birmingham was up against its toughest competition. For two days every squad member played his hardest and Birmingham took second place out of six, being defeated only by Ypsilanti Central. In the classroom as well as on the court, the team led the way with the highest scholastic average of any athletic squad. For these accomplishments the boys were highly complimented by the whole school. Birmingham Opponents 7 Pontiac O 4 Ferndale 3 3 Mt. Clemens 2 4 Port Huron 1 4 Cranbrook 3 4 Ferndale 2 4 Mt.

Yes, George is one of the main cogs that keeps school rolling. im Swap: i 41014 Versatility is the word for lim Ensign. He leaves his name in the annals of Baldwin as an entertain- er, a leader, a worker, and an excellent student. Although he is school and Piper photographer, president of the Iune '48 class, male lead in Dear Ruth, was vice-president of the Assembly Club, and president of the '48 Washington group, he doesn't gait - ifgxl Mm lag in scholarship, tor he is a rnernber ot the Nations al Honor Society. During football season, lim held down two jobs, cheerleading and reporting over the public address system. As endman in Darktown Follies, he proved an outstanding comedian. Few of us will forget the boy with the how tie and the camera. Qzcinqzn in A leader in many fields-yes and a good one, too --is resourceful Gerry Hughes. He proved his creat- ive ability in many ways, distinquishinq himseli in Iunior Miss, Snafu, Kind Lady, and the Variety Show. GMM ,aufw the flag He was president of the Iunior Defense Council and of Student Congress. He was associate editor of the 1947 Piper and made Quill and Scroll.

She Worked on the Field Day committee, decoration committee for the Pagan Prom, publicity for Showboat cmd participated in our Variety Show. She also served on Student Congress and as its secretary for one semester. Giner's biggest job, handled so capably, is that ot co-editor of this Piper. She was also a delegate to the Eastern Michigan Congress and the Michigan Conference of A and B class schools. Giner was elected to Quill and Scroll and is a member of the National Honor Society. Those who know her realize what a great gal she is. Good luck to you, Ginerl is Naiianal Alanna Since the first chapter of the National Honor So- ciety was founded in Birmingham, selection for this organization has been an honor toward which many students strive. Members are chosen each semester by the faculty. Election of members was made on a point basis this year, a student having to be voted upon by at least five teachers. Ratings were as follows: Scholarship: 3.0 to 3.2, six pointsg 3.3 to 3.4, nine pointsp 3.5 to 4, twelve points: leadership and serv- ice: exceptional, nine pointsp good, six points, weak, three pointsg character: integrity, unquestionably honest, tive points: dishonest, minus five points: citi- zenship, three or two points: emotional control, three, two, one points. Several new features were added to the induc- tion ceremony. The stage setting by Hank Price consisted of an enlarged National Honor Society symbol, through which the members stepped. A review of the history of the club was given by George Allen. He recalled that the club was or- ganized in l93l and that 329 Baldwin students have been honored by membership. Another departure from the past was a talk by Polly Hanson, a graduate member now a sopho- more at the University of Michigan. She talked on the ideals of the National Honor Society. All members participated in the ceremony. Nor- man Goddard, president, was presiding officerp Clif- ford Dunn, vice-president, played a piano solog Lora Thurston, secretary, was escortp Bill Hickman, treas- urer, talked on character: Dick Adams, leadership: lim Ensign, servicep Hank Price, scholarship: Bill Robertson was an escort, and Dick Stoll was herald. lnducted into the society were lim Anderson, Ann Lundberg, Pete Abbrecht, Nancy Fisher, Eloise Fowl- er, Shirley Green, Bill Hickman, Sally Howard, Fred Mallender, Sally Smith, Mary Stringer, Virginia Reinhart, Mary Ann Wilkinson, Dave Williams, and lerry Yates. This year the society has tried to be more active in its service to the school. A scrap-paper drive to keep the halls clean was sponsored. The slogan, Get in the scrap was used for the campaign. The National Honor Society was responsible also for obtaining much needed pencil sharpeners for the study hall. Officers for the spring semester were lim Ander- son, presidentg George Allen, vice-presidentg Ann Lundberg, secretary, and Pete Abbrecht, treasurer. Quillamfgmoll Qne of the most highly specialized honors that can come to a Birmingham senior is that of election to Quill and Scroll, international honor society for high school journalists. Each year only a few merit this award, local requirements for which are very high. To be eligible for recommendation for Quill and Scroll, a student must be a senior in the top quar- ter of his class. He must have done distinguished work on high school publications -two years on one statt or one year on several staffs. Included may be work on editorial, sales, advertising, or busi- ness divisions of the Piper, football programs, or other publications: newswriting for the Birmingham Eccentric is also considered. Samples of the pub- lished work of editors, newswriters, etc., must be submitted along with recommendations. Qualified candidates are recommended by Pub- lications advisers to the headquarters of the society at the Medill School of lournalism at Northwestern University. Here the executive secretary of the so- ciety makes the final choice. Those recommended from Birmingham in 1948 were Pete Abbrecht, sports editor of the Piper, sports reporter for the Eccentric, and editor of Birmingham copy and pictures for the Royal Oak football pro- gram: George Allen, member of the advertising and business staffs of the 1947 Piper and business man- ager of the 1948 volume and of four football pro- grams: Gerry Hughes, associate editor of the 1947 Piper and sports news and feature writer for the Birmingham Eccentric: Virginia Reinhart, co-editor of the 1948 Piper and editorial staff member of the 1946 and 1947 books: Dick Stoll, assistant advertis- ing manager of the 1947 Piper and advertising man- ager of the 1948 Piper and four football programs. Publications Honor Award is a comparatively new and unknown honor. It was established to give rec- ognition to those students who do distinguished work on publication but who lack a single one of the qualifications essential for recommendation to Quill and Scrollp i.e., they may not have served as long a time or may not be in the upper quarter of the graduating class. Named for the Honor Award this year were leannot Barnes and Barbara Kelley, co-editors of the 1948 Piper and editorial staff mem- bers of the 1947 books and Ianet Fishack, sales manager of the 1948 Piper and co-sales manager of the football programs. All three were also news- writers for the Birmingham Eccentric. Quill and Scroll has its own trust fund estab- lished by the charter members for this oldest Bir- mingham honor society established in 1929-1930. From this fund dues of new members are paid and gold keys purchased. Publications Honor Award also has a distinctive pin of original design, the die for which is owned by Baldwin Publications. ln the picture are Pete Abbrecht, George Allen, Dick Stoll, Virginia Reinhart, leannot Barnes, Ianet Eishack, and Barbara Kelley. M 61446 Under new officers and adviser, the Baldwin Var- sity Club is on the way up. ln the driver's seat is Dick Groves, assisted by vice-president lim Ander- son. Colin Campbell records the minutes and Don McConkie guards the funds while George Allen is historian. Many ideas are being incorporated into Varsity Club procedure by Coach Vincent Secontine with an eye to making this organization the most respect- ed in the school. In addition to its regular duties consisting of main' taining the trophy case and Iohnson Memorial and supervising the Thanksgiving game pep rally, it will have additional activities such as helping at football and basketball games. The club sponsored a Varsity Club-Faculty bas- ketball game and planned intramural boxing and wrestling. Formal initiations were revived and the project of raising money to buy a movie camera for athletics adopted. Respect for lettermen will be increased by stiffen- ing the requirements for winning a letter and only those members who are active and helpful to the club will be allowed to participate. The main activity which is almost as old as the club itself is supervision of the traditional football game with Royal Oak. The Varsity Club keeps stu- dents in order as they march to the pep rally at the Birmingham Theatre and members act as ushers when the students get inside. The club's duties in relation to the trophy cases consist of seeing that the trophies are neatly arranged, and that they are inscribed and repaired. il, '7fze Senicwi of 7948 Dick Adams, president Gerry Hughes, treasurer 'L 5 3 v 'U' , rrr A is A 3 2 , XM Mary Ann Wilkinson, secretary A Bob Gellatly, vice-president Nancy Bell Norman Goddard Dick Groves Laura Lou Raymond ' Yvonne Engel A Iirn Milldebrandt MCIIY Ann Hatos 'lifts Peter Terres ' ai -: L . mf Q, ,. , . .
