Year after year producer ofa good choir, Victor Ulrich, deserves congratulations for one of the best choral groups the school has had. Under his direction the choir has attained the reputation of superior singing and is appreciated by its school and community alike. The excellence ofthe choir itself is evident in the A rating received at the Royal Oak district festival in the spring of '49. Since then the choir has appeared in many Christmas programs, broadcast over WCAR, and entertained at the Tuberculosis Sanitarium. Late in May the annual Spring concert will be presented with con- ductor Don Large, director of the WJR Accent On Youth program. The grand finale ofa grand season!

One of the most important organizations in our school is the band, a splendid musical group which functions throughout the year. The band not only participates in many important public events but also in con- certs and programs. That the band is a superior musical organization is evidenced by the first division ratings the band receives year after year in district and state festiva ls. Much credit is due director Arnold Berndt who has spent many hours drilling and instructing his students.

Baby, lt's Cold Outside, but Cul- len Grant and Judy Henderson manage to , keep warm. 7 ere .4 fo ,xdzuzia Everything from A to Z in the U.S.A. was the slogan for Azuza, this year's sparkling variety show. Do you remember it? lf you were in the cast, you'll remember a time when you were scared --that you'd forget your lines, or that you'd come on at the wrong moment. But if you were in the audience, you will re- member an evening of lidwt but satisfying entertainment. The house lights dimmed, and from behind the curtain came the musical strains of the Baldwin choir presenting the first act followed by a chorus line of Baldwin beau- ties. Act after act closed with laughter and applause only to give way to others. Orchids go to capable Miss Ruth Hull for tuming our talent into presentations almost professional in quality and making our school remembered for hit after hit. The colorful tumblers put the A in Azuza with their acrobatic feats. Buffy Cole, Sandra Henderson, Maria Rising, Sally Carrier, Jane McMillin,Mary Adams, Barb Wilson, Jean Matson, Nancy Mc- Call, Judy Henderson, Carlye Scott, and Martha Kraft. 005 I9 Every Main Street has its corner drugstore where Nr.

Contributing to the spiritof theYule- tide season, the speech classes pre- sented a series of Christmas radio plays.

COOPER Gi, O! ,Sfgoffd .TOE ROSS State champion in the 100 yard dash for the 1949 track team was speedy sprinter .Toe Ross, who stepped the century in :l0.4. He was also League and Regional champion in this event. Joe ran the first leg of the state champion 880 yard relay quartet. He wears a pair of track shoes handmade in London a generation ago and presented to hirn by Mr. Fred Zoellin, their owner and Birmingham's best track fan. Joe is a two- letter man on the 1950 squad. I9 9 Ckampiond Besides bringing the State Championship back to Birmingham after six years, the 1949 track team copped four lesser champ- ionship crowns including the Central Mich- iganRe1ays, the Regionals , the Easte rn Mich- igan League, and the Wayne Relays. The first encounter of the season was a triangular meet with Cranbrook and Hazel Park. Despite the cold, rain, wet track, and the fact that several seniors were still re- covering from the Washington trip, Birming- ham topped its opponents 73.2 points to 41.2 for Cranbrook and 22.6 for Hazel Park. Just three days later Port Huron trounced a crippled but overconfident Maple outfit 62.5 - 49.5.Couldbe the beating did the boys some good-they didn't lose another meet all season and scored 68.6 points to Port Huron's 43 in the League meet. The Maroons had little trouble with Roy- al Oak on the latter's so-so oval, finishing with 65.5 - 35.3 victory. Mt. Pleasant was the scene of the first big meet of the '49 campaign. Birmingham boys packed grips and headed north to defend their Central MichiganRelays Championship.

STANDING: Joe Ross, Eric Heizer, Tim Reed, Moc Booth. This meet was an afternoon-evening affair with half the events run off in 90 degree heat and the evening finals in 50 degree coolness. This was the most dramatic meet of the sea- son,with the Maples winning five of the even- ing's sevenevents to cop the championship and lug home the gorgeous trophy, four relay trophies, andthree meet records, besides de- fending a fourth in the shuttle hurdle relay. A little later the Maples easily won the Regionals at Ferndale, also qualifying 13 men for the State meet. That bright sunny day inMay Birmingham 's 13 qualifiers went to East Lansing for the State meet. Running on the superb Michigan State College track, the Maples not only em- erged as State champions but set a state re- cordfor the sprint medley relay at 2:33.4 and established new school records in the pole vault, the high hurdles, sprint medley, and 880 yard relays. They brought home three trophies and 16 medals, 11 of them gold. In .Tune the Mapleswon their third straight crown, their fourth of the conference. other league teams Eastern Michigan League in the five-year lifetirne They rolled over the five convincingly, beating determined Ferndale and avenging an earlyhseason dual meet l0SS to Port Huron. Again they accumulated trophies, records, and ribbons. 51 BOB FOLIN Bob Folin, star Maple sprinter for the past three seasons, ended his high school track careerby winning the state champion- ship in the 220 yard dash and anchoring the undefeated record-breaking 880 yard relay team. He also ran the fastest 220 leg on the state record-holding medley relay quartet. He spenthis lasttrack season as a 220 spec- ialist, running three 220's in every track meet. To break the monotony a little, he oc- casionally broad-jumped and ran the 100 yard dash. rms Eric Heizer, 4405 Jere McMillin, 2205 Bob Folin, 2201 Sandy Gruber, 440. THE SPRINT MEDLEY RELAY QUARTET This speedy quartet, put together by Coach Lloyd Cooper expressly for the State meet, not only won the championship by 15 yards but also established a new State and school record at 2:33.4. Form runner Eric Heizer sped aroundthe oval for the first 440, giving Jere McMillin a slender lead which the speedy big boy stretched a bit in his 220 to give lanky Bob Folin a half-dozen yards' start. The star 220 man's space-devouring strides more than doubled the lead, and the flying Sandy Gruber defended it to the tape for the most thrilling event of the day. The Maples still traveled the glory road by succe ssfully defending their championship in the Wayne Relays at Detroit Denby field. They placed at least two men in every event but the shot -put and added to the congestion in the trophy case. Versatile Rollie McGillis was elected team captain. He setanew record in the pole vault at 11 feet 6 inches, and the high hurdles in:15.5,besides running a leg on the record- breaking 880 yard relay quartet and on the record holding shuttle hurdles relay team. He won the Zoellin Memorial Award with 833 points for be st performance in the 1949 State meet. STATE EIGHT 'A little band of eight topnotch men brought the State championshipto Birming- ham . . .and preserved for another year the school's tradition of strong, winning track teams. In this group are three individual State champs: .Toe Ross in the 100 yard dashg Bob Folin in the 2205 and Rollie McGinnis in the pole vault. Add to these three Jere McMillin, and we have the great 880 relay quartet. Substitute Eric Heizer and Sandy Gruber for Ross and McGinnis, and we have the state record-holding sprint medley four. Other point winners are Mac Booth with 215.6 for third in the high hurdles and Tim Reed inthe high jurnpg McMillin took second second in the 220: McGinnis vault and second in the high inthe 1005 Ross firstinthe pole hurdles in :l5.5, with a, fractional place in the high jump. 1 fn- 3 ky XX JUmmmUm :-. 1.

The Maples were EasternMichigan League champions, regional champions, and runnerup to Holland in the state matches.

On their home course the Maples won four and lost only two on the long North Hills course. The Maples encountered one of the bet- ter Class A teams in the state when they met Royal Oak and suffered two defeats. Ron Israel, second man, posted the low score of the yeai-,a sparkling 77 in the second Royal Oak meet. The Regionals were played on the Atlas Hills course at Flint, a long and tough ter- rain, and the Maples posted 385, their high- est score of the year, in finishing third. Al Fremody's 94 led the team. The state matches at Kalamazoo were too tough for the squad, which finished seventh with358. Al Fremody and Larry Miller were top men with 88's. Port Huron's Black Hills was the site of the league meet, Birmingham placing third with 356 behind Ferndale and Port Huron, both of whom the Maroons had defeated ear- lier.

Coach John Simonds has done much to establish golf as a Birmingham school sport. One of his innovations was the intramural golf tournament. KCMQACLK The story of Birmingham's 1949 base- ball squad can be briefly surnmed up in the words 'a tough luck season . Although the team's spirit'was always a 'will to win , the breaks were not with the Maples. In league competition they won only two while losing eight to finish 'in the cellar , though four of the eight losses were by single runs. For the whole season the record is four wins and nine defeats. At Pierce Field Birmingham won one and lost five, the lone win being over Fern- dale with losses to Hazel Park, Port Hur- on, East Detroit, twice, and Mt. Clemens. In away games Birmingham Scored a second win over Ferndale and lost to Mt. Clemens, Hazel Park and Port Huron. Ina special challenge series with Cran- brook the locals won two out of three games played. The highlight of the series was Cap- tainClay .Toyce's 4-0 no-hit victory which set a school record. Coach Vincent Secontine mentored the diamond crew again but did not have the material nor the breaks to match the league standings of his two previous years.

Around 5 quartet of returning lettermen, a gym class find, and a legacyfrom the State champ track team, Coach J. .Tay Myers built his harrier outfit. Leading throughout the season was Dick Shallberg, who finished first or second in most of the dual runs and fourth in the State. Right on his heels was Eric Heizer, 440 man from the track squad. In the first meet of the '49 season the Maples met their only defeat of the season, taking a 52-19 trouncing from Royal Oak. This paid big dividends, howevergfor Coach Myers put his men on a gruelling four-miles-a-day training schedule which paid off in wins in remaining runs. eaifon QCD?

Outside the league, Birmingham defeated Dearborn and lost to Berkley and Royal Oak. A superb aerial running attack brought a 27-0 victory in the season opener againsta big but green Dearborn team. This decisive victory gave the Maples a little of the con- fidence they needed. Recalling their 31-6 defeat by the Maples in 1948 and determined to avenge it,Mt.Clemens outcharged the Naples but barely managed to tie 7-7, an intercepted pass and 98 yard run by halfback ChuckBa ker bringing the Maples even in the last few minutes.FullbackGeorge Landino's foot was broken, and he was lost to the team till the lost game of the season.

A vengeful Port Huron team dealt the Maples an 18-7 defeat, scoring on the very first play of the game and a- venging the 1948 defeat at the hands of Birmingham. Birmingham ran wild against an inexperienced team from Monroe Catholic Central,rolling up thetop-heavy score of 49-6. ln practice the Monday after this game left half- back Bud Boynton broke his collarbone and was lost for the season in another maior Maple casualty. A highly-rated Berkley team lived up to predictions by beating the cripple'd Maples 25-12.

Of the ten dual meets the Maroons came out on top in six, losing out to Mt. Clemens once, Pontiac once, and Ypsilanti Central twice.

But with only two lettermen able to play because of football injuries to Mac Booth and Bud Boynton, the Maples compiled a 15-5 win-lost record besides taking the district crown. At Mt. Clemens the Maples trounced EastDetroit49-ZZ and Mt.Clemens 47-39before losing to Port Huron 49-28 in the final contest of the pre-season Eastern Michigan League Tourney and finished sec- ond in League competition behind Port Huron for the regular season. League play was plagued with close viv- tories and narrow defeats for the Maples. One point wins ove r Hazel Park, Mt. C lemens and Port Huron, and a heart-breaking one- point loss to Mt. Clemens made league play the highlight of the season. The Maples gained their fifth straight district championship by defeating Clawson 70-Z3,Shrine 49-26, and Berkley in a close one 38-36. In regionalcompetition the Maples were cropped inthe first round by Detroit Nativity 50-37. e lm THE 1949-'50 CAGE SEASON Birmingham Opponent Score Pre -Season Tournament 49 East Detroit ZZ 47 Mt.

Commencement, January, 1950. eniom ana! ,llonord 67 Ae Wafionaf .Honor ociefy Twice a year the National Honor Society inducts new members. Students have a proud tilt to their heads and a happy smile on their faces as they go on stage in the National Honor Society Assembly to receive their certificates. The select few chosen for this high honor might be called the cream of the crop. They are usually respected, admired, and well known individuals because they are not only out- standing for scholarship but are also of high character, leadership, and service. This year members have taken on the added work of tutoring students who need help. Members this year are Mac Booth, Ed Matus, Ward Abbott, Roberta Connor, Virginia Dare, Stewart Peck, Dick Shallberg, .Tack Rue, Marilyn Begg, .Tim Buchanan, Charles Burnham, Charles Davies, Bob Ervin, Mary Halladay, Bob Hardy, and Marcia Loomis. 68 Qui! ann! Src!! The honor of being elected to Quill and Scroll, international honor society for high school journalists, is sought by many but won by few. Requirements include rank in the upper quarter of the class, distin- guished work on publications, and good character. Qualified students are recommended to Quill and Scroll at Medill School of Journalism, Northwestern University, and must be approved by the executive secretary of the society. Seniors elected this year are Virginia Dare and Martha Kraft. Students who have done excellent work on publications but lack a single one of the qualifications for recommendation to Quill and Scroll fsuch as length of service or top-quarter scholarship, are given the Publications Honor Award. Named for the award this year are Phil McNellis and Jack Shenefield. '..v....1.v ' ' 4 ,J 5 -il 4 ix ,f,,..m..?. , ,md I-X 0 mu 69 HONEST JOHN Natural leader, is a term synonymous with Jack Adams. In his time he has served as president of the band and orchestra, the Varsity Club, the January class of l95O, and the Black and White Club. Jack has also been actively engaged in almost every other school ac- tivity and organization except G.A.A. ! Unfortunately Jack received an injury early in his high school career which has kept him off the gridiron and basketball floor. However, in spite of this handicap, he has ral-led up an impressive athletic record with two letters in swimming and two in tennis. Jack's other activities were numerous and varied, but there's just enough room to say that both his teachers and his fellow students will long remember Jack Adams. HCL ..!46!Cll'l'l:i ac Mail. JOHNSON MEMORIAL WINNER Who's Who and Johnson Memorial are a lot to happen to one fellow, but Mac's the boy to merit honors and wear them well. For twenty years the best student-athlete has been named for the Johnson Memorial, highest honor the school affords. With a high B average, rank as valedictorian of his class, and a half-dozen letters to his credit, Nac richly deserves the honor. Though weighing only 145 pounds forhis six-foot-four frame, Mac was named best end in the League last fall. He was a sharp-shooter on the basketball team two sea- sons and, despite a broken shoulder, got in a few minutes as game captain for the big Port Huron fracas this year. Mac was one of the State Eight track stars who brought us the State championship. He is a fine high hurdler, a member of the record-holding shuttle hurdle relay team, and was a pole vaulter the 1948 season. In addition, Mac has been a leading school citizen: vice president of the Student Congress, president of the National Honor Society and Assembly Club, and a class officer. He is also one of the most popular boys in school. 434' SAY IT AGAIN Virginia Dare, better known to all ot us as Gee, will leave a record behind her not soon to be forgotten. Her scholarship is sufficient to arouse the praise and ad- miration ot all of us, but Gee is nota person outstanding in only one field. Name an activity in which girls have a part, and y0u'll find Virginia's name among the most active members. Topping her activities was her big iob as editor-in- chiet ot this i950 Piper, but no less valuable were her Contributions to Student Congress, the Assembly Club, and her class. Gee is a friendly, sincere person who is always ready to greet you with a broad smile and genuine hel lo. Anyone who meets Gee for the first time is immediately aware of her radiant personality. '1fUl.., irgin ia are O CAPTAIN, MY CAPTAIN I'II gettoworkonit, replies the voice from the other end of the telephone Iine, and the job is as good as done. In atI1Ietics, cIass activities, schoIarship, or just as a person, Bob Hardy's performance has been out- standing. Whenever the need for a reaI worker arises, you can always depend on some capable assistance from Bob. His willingness to work and do a good iob, combined with his exceptional Ieadership, has been noticed by his teIIow students who have honored him with such posi- tions as president of his iunior class, vice-president of the Student Congress, and captain of the footbaII team. Some prefer to think of Bob as an athlete, others as a leader, and stiII others as a student, but aII of us will remember Bob longest as the great guy he is. SNAP . . CRACKLE . . POP! Her color, vitality, and service make Sue Pomeroy a real Who's Who. Wherever there's Sue there's excitement. Her philosophy -do what you're told not to. Judge for yourself! She collects boys, food, and Stan Kenton rec - ords. Well remembered are her bright ideas, boundless energy and escapades - tender-wise, faculty-wise, and otherwise. Sue's service record is the longest and most varied in the senior class. She has not merely done a little bit in each field. Cf her six semesters in Congress, she served one as secretary, and during the others was a working member ot numerous committees. Her othermost important iobs were as delegate to five Eastern Michigan League Conferences and as chairman of publications for the Washington Group. I'I'l0l 0y 15504 .gjlraffgerg MR. PRESlDENT . . . As politician par excellence, Dick Shallberg has been thus addressed by most of the organizations in school. He is now an officer of the Black and White Club, the Assembly Club, and the Varsity Club, to mention a few. He is the first person since 1944 to have been twice- elected president of Student Congress. He was captain of the cross country team and holds the school course record Cll:U2 for two milesj. Minister of high finance, elder statesman of Baldwin, are other cognomens that fit him well. He is solid scholustically, too, standingin the top five per cent of his class. He's a really fine guy personally, as anyone in schoolwill say.Yes, Dick Shall- berg is a real Who's Who. anuary aaa of i950 Jack Adams Bud Carrick Helen Woolson .Tim Hogan Bill Downey Mac Booth Donna Puls Bud Boynton Betty Jean Roberts George Landino John Nicholas Shirley Quinn 76 Bob Be rg oine - , V M S 355' J X X ' 1. 7551!
