Their leader- ship is assurance of a rich and varied curriculum, excellent equipment: ambitious, seeking students: happy teachers: and a continuing interest in all of us and our affairs. They have even bigger and better plans whose realization awaits only the completion of the magnificent new Birmingham High School. MR. ROSS A. WAGNER With the assistance of Ann Borchert, Mr. Cooper reviews a list of absentees. As assistant principal, Mr. Cooper has organized an efficient and effective daily attendance system that discourages un- necessary absences. Always ready with the soft shoulder' and the ample crying towel are Mrs. Darling and Mr. Goodrich, our counsel- ors. To get anything accomplished despite constant interruptions demands effici- ent organization of office routine. The answer: here are secretaries Dolores Banwart and Edith Delevan. ll ll l , ll K 4234 is ggi? x is 14 A if l W ad Silence! Genius at work!

Largely due to the capable leadership of president Ioe Bachman, the first semester Congress was an exceptionally successful and efficient organization. Nancy Wilson, secretary: Chuck Ganley, treasurer: and Ronnie Phillips, vice president, were other officers. One of the highlights of the fall term was the Eastern Michigan Conference, to which we had the privilege of playing host.

Who behind the scenes is responsible for these good programs? Not just one or two people. but our Assembly Club, under direction of Miss Allen, faculty adviser and driving force along with presi- dents Les Colbert and Art Fairbanks. This is one club that has contributed a great deal to the school by breaking the monotony oi the week. Featured programs of the year were Burl Ives, the Wayiaring Stranger: Dr. Franz Pol- gar, the mental telepathist: Leonard Stanley's Trio: and scientist Dr. Luther Gable. It was an amazing coincidence that on the very moming of General MacArthur's dismissal, Harry Whang, native Korean. presented a most interesting and informative assembly on the Korean situation. Also still remembered is the wonderful movie, Kcrrambi. Tying assemblies in with the trend of the times and meeting general interest in aviation. Lieu- tenant Housman told us about the life oi a jet pilot. Two student-participation assemblies- Christmas and Easter-were most impressive. Responsible for sale of candy, notebook paper. and pencils during lunch period are members of Assembly Club. Meetings are held twice a month at homes ot members. .73f.S.2 The Birmingham band, under the excellent direc- tion ot Amold W. Berndt, has followed tradition in giving superior performances in all of its activities. The varsity show, sports events, swing out, gradua- tion, parades, and various other programs were made more complete and colorful by the presence of the band. School lite would be drab without it. Only through long hours oi diligent practice have the 37 band members and their directors been able to accomplish such an impressive record. Congratulations, Band, you deserve a lot oi credit.

Adding that finishing touch to as- semblies, the choir also sang for church service groups, radio broadcasts, and the Christmas and Easter observances. The choir always ranks high in the Spring Festival, and this year again came home with a superior rating. In May the 80 voices blended in a presentation of the annual spring concert. An excellent singing group comparable to those always pros duced by Mr. Ulrich, this choir's work is high school choral music at its best.

With only four wins as against five losses, the Maples slipped to fourth place in Eastem Michigan League standings, leading only Ferndale and Hazel Park. But despite a mediocre rec- ord, there were two bright spots which compensated to a large extent for less for- tunate occasions. The Maples defeated arch rival Ferndale 31-0 on the Railsplitters' own field for the second victory for the Maroons in the last dozen years of meetings be- tween the two schools. Hold- ing Ferndale to a meager 56 yards, the Maroons rolled up an impressive 286 for their biggest total of the year. The second and most thrill- ing spot was the return of the Little Brown Iug to the Birmingham trophy case, this ci GORDON SHIRA ART FAIRBANKS JOHN DONNELLY , pq...,.. lr' K-f CHUCK WOOD at X I nuf? f'? DON HALPIN CHUCK TYSON time after only a year's ab- sence. Playing inspired foot- ball, the team gave the whole town something to be thank- ful for in that Turkey Day game, defeating Royal Oak 13-6. In his four years at Bir- mingham, Coach Secontine has tied Royal Oak once, lost once and won twice for the best record a Maple coach has ever compiled. Playing on a muddy field, the Maples displayed grim determination to salvage their season. Flyweight halfback Don Halpin at 130 pounds dripping wet outstepped the big boys to score both Maple touchdowns, one on an end run and the other on a spec- tacular juggler's catch of an end zone pass. Sparked by the play of Don Davis, end: Iohn Burton and Iohn Donnelly, guards: and big Ierry Tewilliager, tackle, the Maple line func- tioned creditably most of the season. In the backfield Cap- tain Shira at fullback was the morale builder of the team. Iunior halfback Tom Tracy, next year's captain-elect, came through with the best individual performance of the season. In tour games his yardage was greater than the combined total of the other teams. He was named to the All-State second team. Besides Tracy, Coach Sec- ontine will have Stu Schei- fele and Bill Dodds back at quarterback and sophomore Gordon Mutch at fullback. Although in only a few games because of an injury in the opener, Scheifele led the squad in passing with 212 yards an average gain of 17.68 yards per try, while Dodds had 108 yards and an average of 12. ln if IERRY TEWILLIAGER Q-Ol 'Ti GEORGE BOSWORTH it BUD KRAUS S-X '1-S-r.. ,si .iff , .

The squad placed sixth in the state meet on the frigid Ypsilanti course in November. With a trio of returning lettermen and a like number of distance runners from last spring's track team, Coach I. lay Myers had a satisfactory nucleus about which to build his team. Pacing the squad in dual and League com- Wwnww petition was Bob Pope, who at the state meet was elected captain, an honor he de- served. In the Hazel Park meet Bob set a new school record for the Cranbrook and Lincoln course, covering the route in l0:54.0. For the first time in the sport's history, a banquet was given in honor of the team, awards presented and recognition accorded. Letters were awarded to Ted Averill, Bill Bemdt, Charlie Harris, Carver Hendrix, Roy Home, Tom Lenane, Stuart Leslie, Ronnie Phillips, Captain Bob Pope, George Rockwell, and Ronnie Thompson.

The Maples crowned their season by copping the Eastern Michigan League championship for the third con- secutive year. Considering that a local flu epidemic struck just before the League and State meets, and that pool repairs made the start of practice late, the Maples' good record is even more remarkable. The team had not been expected to touch last year's season record. The twin defeats were at the hands of Pontiac and Ferndale. However, the early-season loss to Ferndale was avenged later when the Railsplitters were nosed out 43-41 here, and again in the thrill- ling League meet 70-66 in the Femdale pool. Don Goldsmith, ace 200 yard freestyler, was elected captain. Out of a possible 150 points in his three years of competition, Corky amassed 146. The 200 yard freestyle relay quartet, with vary- ing personnel but usually Fremody, Ioslyn, New- man and Osterbeck, broke records in almost every meet and was the deciding factor in dual and League meets. Coach I. Iay Myers has not only taken three League championships in three years but has also won the same number in cross country, a record of six crowns in half as many years, and one that should stand a long time.

Outstanding, at least in the players' opin- ion, was the three-day road trip taken by Coach Cooper and 12 varsity players. Leav- ing the day before Christmas vacation began, the Maples opened their season against Grand Rapids Union: after playing on equal terms for three quarters, Birmingham lost the game 45-52. The next night the Maples en- countered Greenville, Coach Cooper's old home town, and had little difficulty in win- ning 67-52. Thereafter the Maples experienced a hot and cold season with 12 wins as against six losses. But they managed to rewrite the rec- ord books in virtually every scoring depart- ment. Lanky Barry Wall won a place for him- self in the Hall of Fame by establishing a trio of new records. His 291 points for the 15 games of the regular season surpassed Chuck Murray's 223 for the same number of games in 1947: and his total of 335 for 18 eclipsed Chuck's 274 in 21 games. Barry also set a new individual single-game scoring record when he made 35 points against East Detroit to top the old mark of 32 set by Iohn McDonald against Rochester in 1939. He also managed to stand second in freethrow ac- curacy with a .670 percentage. Still another mark was set when the Map- les trounced Redford Union 87-38 for a new team single-game scoring record, smashing the old one by an even dozen points. The old mark of 75 was set against Rochester in 1939. Records back to 1918 are not available, but it is safe to say that the 1951 Maples were one of the highest scoring teams in the history of the school. In Eastern Michigan League competition the Maroons won seven and lost three, finish- ing second behind co-champions Ferndale and Port Huron. Ferndale was the only team to beat the Maroons twice, taking the first game here 53-42 and the second on their own floor 49-38. Highlighting League play, however, was the Maples' 51-42 victory over Port Huron on the Big Bed's own floor, followed by a 72-42 win over East Detroit in the last game for the mid-year graduating seniors George Clarke, Paul Phillips, and Bill Wilkinson. The Maples lost one more League game, a 40-48 loss to Port Huron here. Opening the tournament play with a 54-27 victory over Berkley, the Maples went on to defeat a good Clawson team 42-31 to cop their seventh District championship in as many years. Drawing a bye in the first round of the Regional tournament at Pontiac, the flu-ridden Maples were eliminated in the sec- ond round by Farmington 63-48. In recognition of his aggressive, out-to-win play throughout the season, Don Halpin was elected captain of the squad. The Tiger was second to Wall in total number of points scored with 141 in 13 games. Because of in- juries, he did not get into the Grand Rapids Union and BHS Alumni games. He finished fourth in freethrow accuracy with .538. Tom Tracy was winner of the Birmingham ireethrow award with a .707 percentage, the highest in the life of the award which was established in 1946. The members of the varsity squad, many of whom had played together since the fourth grade, who ended their high school playing days were seniors Barry Wall, Don Halpin, Art Fairbanks, Tom McKinley, Matt Malarney, Ierry Pike, Barry Harper, Ioe O'- Connor and Dave Hunt. The reserves' season under Coach Bob Ny- quist was a fairly successful one. They won 12 and lost three. From their ranks must come almost the entire Maple varsity next year since Tom Tracy and Stuart Scheifele are the only veterans who are holdovers from the 1951 team. FRONT ROW: B. Deloria. K.

Clemens 55- 54 there. They lost to Ferndale for the first time in years, getting a 40-69 beating. Though the Maples were defending cham- pions in the Central Michigan Relays at Mt. Pleasant, they were able to do no better than fourth place. Due to tremendous loss by graduation of the 1949 stars, this was not a big surprise. The Regionals were run off at Ferndale, and again the Maples were defending cham- pions. This time they managed to repeat, taking six of 13 first places. Dash man Ioe Ross scooted the 100 yards in :l0.2, tying the school record. He also won the 200 yard dash in 12l.3. lYes, it's 200 at Ferndale, not 64400 2201 Eric Heizer took the 440, and Howie Liverance won the gold medal in the high jump. Birmingham also won both the 880 and the medley relays in good times. But most remarkable in this team's story was the State Meet. Iust three boys combined their talents to win second place for the Maples. Sprinter Ioe Ross took both the 100 and the 220 for an even dozen points: Eric Heizer won a rugged 440 for six: and Howie Liverance made the biggest 1X3 point in his- tory to put the runnerup spot on ice for his team, which added up to 18-1X3 points to edge out Plymouth by just that fraction! Howie later tied the school's high jump rec- ord at six feet-a record that had stood since 1933. He did this at the Wayne Relays--an- other meet in which the Maples could not successfully defend their championship of 1949. 2444771441 A three-year man, Ioe tallied more points than any other man on the team. He was state champion in the 100 as a junior, and was the only double winner in Class B in 1950's state meet when he took both the century and the 220 crowns. He was unde- feated in both these events in the 1950 season. He ran on the 1949 state championship 880 yard relay team which holds the school record. In the Regionals he stepped the 100 in :10.2 to tie the school record set in 1933. He made 12 of those 18-1f3 points that gave his school the runnerup place in the state meet. He is attending Michigan State College and should make good. HOWARD LIVERANCE I -v IOE ROSS WW It was lucky for Birmingham when Howie decided to come out for track, a senior in his first season! Besides taking firsts in many dual meets and in the regionals, he wangled a third of a point in the high jump in the state meet to make all the difference between the runnerup spot and third-place Plymouth. the biggest 1f3 on record. But Howie really came into his own at the Wayne Relays when he topped the bar at six feet to tie the record set by Rex Oberbeck in 1933 and never since threatened. Howie is a student at the Univer- sity of Michigan, where he played freshman basketball and plans to go out for track. 61 new ff. QUARTER-MILER A stick1er for a rugged training pro- gram and proof that it paid off, Eric was the best 440 man in Michigan last year. His careful, skilled conditioning in tough practice sessions, his study of his event, and his flaming competitive spirit made him a topnotch track man. His state cham- pionship in the 440 won him the Zoellin Memorial Award-and a more rugged race for it has never been recorded. Eric is a student at Michigan State College. He should make the team event in fast com- petition. COACH COOPER Birmingham has an age-old tradition of superb track and field teams that have gained the school statewide recognition. Coach Cooper has ably carried on that tradition, coming to Birmingham in 1943- '44. In 1948 his track squad was runnerup for the state championship: in 1949 his team won the crown, and in 1950 again was runnerup. 5164 Www l 'ilfm FRONT ROW: T. Tracy, T. Maxwell, Captain D. Mott, K.

Win- ning only one out of nine scheduled games. the Maples finished in the Eastem Michigan League cellar for the second straight year. The Maples scored their lone win at home against Port Huron 6-0. An unusual double play when the Maroons had the bases loaded let Mt. Clemens edge Birmingham 2-l. In a pitchers' duel between Tom Tracy and Rufe Beardsley, Cranbrook iced a 4-3 game by stealing home in the tenth inning. The Mintling memorial award for most valuable player went to Paul Phillips, who had clouted out a .321 batting average. Coach Vincent Secontine piloted the team. and Dick Mott, third sacker, was elected captain. SEASON RECORD BIRMINGHAM OPPONENT Op. SCORE 1 2 Cranbrook 6 Port Huron 0 Z East Detroit 7 1 Mt.

In seven dual matches the Maples were unbeaten in League en- counters but lost twice to Cranbrook. Led by Captain Phil Savage with first place honors in singles, Birmingham won the East- ern Michigan League tennis championship forthe second consecutive year. The doubles finals was an all-Birmingham event, with the duo Roger Beebe and George Bosworth gain- ing first place over Bill Wilkinson and Woody Dare. The Maples also won the state regionals championship for the second straight year, with Savage runnenrp in the singles and Beebe and Bosworth again edging Wilkinson and Dare in the doubles playoff. These five players went to the state finals, where Bir-- mingham finished fourth behind the alert play of Wilkinson and Dare. Coach Harold Newcomb successfully com- pleted his third season as Maple tennis men- tor. Lettermen for 1950 were Roger Beebe, Captain Phil Savage, Rich Spademan, Pete Trees, and Bill Wilkinson.

The quartet started with six straight wins, the first two played in rain and snow. Against Mt. Cle- mens the boys turned in a brilliant 325 total, 14 strokes lower than the winning score in the 1949 state meet. Pontiac snapped the Maple's winning streak at North Hills: with the Maples six up at the end of the first nine, the boys blew up and dropped 19 strokes to the Chiefs in the second round. A satisfying victory was that over Shrine, later Class B state champs, by a score of 330 to 333. Chuck Olin's 74 was the lowest ever posted by a Maple over a par 70 course. In the regionals at Flint the quartet posted 359, good enough for the championship. But in the state meet at Port Huron, the Maples finished out of the money. The Maples topped their season by win- ning the Eastern Michigan League crown which had been held by Port Huron three years. So the season shows eight wins, one defeat in dual matches, with a League and a Regional championship. Much credit goes to Coach Iohn Simonds. KNEELING: Captain R. Israel. A. Fremody, S.

Semi-an- nually members are chosen on the basis of character, leadership, scholar- ship, and service. The national constitu- tion stipulates that only 15 per cent of the senior and five per cent of the junior class may be elected. Members may compete for a 400 dollar scholarship to any- accredited college in the United States. For the first time a Baldwin stu- dent, George Bosworth, took the com- petitive examination for the scholar- ships: he received one of the highest scores in the nation.

Election to Quill and Scroll, interna- tional honor society for high school journalists, is one of the highest honors attainable in any high school. Coming as a fitting climax to years of service, effort, and distinguished work on pub- lications, election to this society is something to which many aspire but few attain. Recommendations are made by the faculty adviser in charge of publications to the Society headquar- ters at Northwestern University, where final selection is made. A gold key is the insignia of membership. This year there are five persons who earned election to Quill and Scroll. They are Robin Renfrew, Ann Morrow, Criss Adams, Barbara Stradinger, and Bill Aikens. Mary Lou Gregory received the Baldwin Publications Award. S t 't 'Q Rightfully considered the highest honor conferred by the school, the Iohnson Mem- orial Award has as its 1951 recipient one of the most versatile men to appear on the scene in some time.

A starter on both the football and basket- ' ffwmd Www ball squads as a junior, Art's sports record goes all the way back to his sophomore year when he earned his track letter as a miler and broad jumper. He has accumu- lated seven varsity letters, an enviable rec- ord in itself. Besides his athletics and good average scholarship, Art has made time to serve the school in many extra-curricular capacities. Besides serving in lesser offices, Art was president of the Assembly Club and of his social club and was active in Student Con- gress. 4-'A' KK! X l S ,, I 5. ' tsl .',,if,,l. t .ar ,. v3,,ex,k ' 2 ,f '.L'f i. ! , Ask anyone who is tops in musical ability in our school. The answer will always be Ronnie Phillips. Ronnie has compiled an en- viable record at district and state festivals. His real passion for music should make him an excellent music teacher. While Ronnie has rigidly followed his mu- sical career, he made himself known in other school activities. Leadership is an important trait, and Ronnie has proved he has this vital quality, serving as an officer in all four of his high school classes as freshman and I sophomore treasurer and junior president. He is vice president of his graduating class, and he served in that office in Student Congress. He has contributed to sports not only as a participant but also as a willing adviser. He is interested in the progress of others because he is a team player, not an individual star. Ronnie has earned three letters in cross- country and three in track. Above all, Bonnie still flashes that friendly smile which has made him one of the most popular boys in school. Personality plus! A trite phrase, perhaps but an apt one for Ann Morrow, Who's Who material since the day she entered high school. Anne literally sang her way into the hearts of Baldwin students with solo and choir since sophomore days. She is now a member of the Don Large Youth Chorus on WIR. Her professional performance as Emily in Our Town proved her acting ability in a dramatic role. As co-editor of this Piper with three years' service on the staff, she had a job requiring responsibility, patience, and industry. Ann handled it so well, she's earned Quill and Scroll for distinguished work. Ann also was elected to National Honor Society in her junior year. As a cheerleader she proved her versatility and sparkle.

With his natural ease in handling people and, probably more important, his almost fanatical desire to serve and serve well, Ioe has earned the place he holds among the Greats of Baldwin. Known for his modest smile and engaging manner, Ioe has at one time or another been the work horse of nearly every organization in school. As president of Student Congress, he earned a reputation for efficiency and de- pendability that was augmented by his fine job as president of the 1951 Washington Group. Ioe served in Assembly Club three years. A combination of activities and brains made him a natural for the National Honor Society. But ability to wield a gavel is just one of his many talents. A fine hurdler, he earned his track letter as a junior, and skiing is a favor- ite sport. Ioe's sincerity has earned the respect of everyone. Any job worth doing at all is worth doing well, is loe's philosophy, and he has sold us all on this principle. 775644 2.1.2, Marilyn I-Iart's eighteenth birthday was a never to be forgotten day. She received the D.A.R. Award and a twenty five dollar check as runner up in the state Good Citizen Con- test. To top the day she received notice that she had won a renewable yearly scholar- ship to Michigan State, the college of her choice. Marvelous ability as a public speaker, Student Congress, Assembly Club, and Na- tional Honor Society Membership-these are some rungs on her ladder to success. She was the second girl ever to be nominated for the presidency of Student Congress and ably served a term as president of C.T.A. Besides her many school activities, Marilyn's salesmanship is demonstrated at Campbell's Village Store every afternoon. Sincerity, graciousness, a ready smile, and a sparkling personality remarkable for poise: these are Marilyn's chief attributes. al'-mv '?'k .yn X 73 ff 'HL' Qczc6-up ZZ- 7mdee Leader, student, statesman: Combine these with cr few more attributes, cmd you have cr jack-of-all-trades who masters them all. Throughout the past three years Bill has proved himself one of the most conscientious and ability-laden members of his class. Whether he was presiding over Congress as its president, handling the finances of the Assembly Club and publications, writing the football and basketball stories, or compiling a scholastic record wananting membership in the National Honor Society and Quill and Scroll, Bill proved his versatility and worth. When the time came to elect members of the senior class to a place in Who's Who, Aik was a logical recipient of an honor just de- served. ,-Q 1 ft! -I 'fzedtqziacw Daw' With the winning smile and sparkling brown eyes, Robin Renfrew captivated our school from the day she entered its doors. Ftobin's lively enthusiasm has animated most realms of school life, for her interested par- ticipation includes almost every activity. Into her capable hands have fallen many demanding responsibilities. Co-editor of this '51 Piper, she also worked for Assembly Club and Student Congress, even serving a term as Eastern Michigan Conference secretary. Maple teams are cheered by Robin wearing her cheerleader letter. An unbeatable combination of beauty and brains, Robin is one of the three senior queens, and made both National Honor Society and Quill and Scroll. 64444 af 1951 Bill Lanham Paul Phillips Charles Iohnson Norma Sarasin Adelaide Mitchell Louis Cunniff Frank Poole Donna Alstrorn loyce Bilodeau Bill Wilkinson X Iohn Donnelly Donna Abbott lanice Porter Herberi Hopkins Marilyn Begg Harry Groves Bill Powers Tom Bell Q l , l A 1 ,F is sl, M . .nf -n il., ,fiery sf 'hm fe . nuff 4.35 4' K .. . .ff , J' J CLASS OF IANUARY 1951 Officers of the last midyear class to graduate from Birmingham schools were Paul Phillips vice president Donna Abbott, secretary: Ioyce Bilodeau, treasurer: Bill Wilkinson, president It is hoped that the Ianuary and Iune clas- ses of 1951 will be the last to graduate from old Baldwin, which will then become an elementary school, while the high school will move to the magnificent new building.

Ad- vice being the cheapest-and most plentiful- of all commodities, it is seldom refused under any circumstance. But just watch the face of an oldster when he catches some youngster off guard. He beams as he expounds, grimaces. as he preaches, scowls as he becomes sage, yet through it all you can see that his enjoyment is supreme. lust twenty-five years ago-and that will clas- sify me as an oldster at once-I was caught in a predictament suffered at some time or other by all students. I was unprepared. And when the dignified judge, who was teaching a class in the law of evidence, called upon me to recite the facts and conclusions of a certain case, I was forced to tell him of my state of unpre- paredness. Looking down from the raised plat- form on which he sat, peering over the top of his quaint half-moon glasses, the kindly judge asked just why we weren't ready. We told him we just didn't have time, which was very likely the whole truth. He then stood up, pushed back his chair, shook back his heavy white hair from his fore- head, and replied: Young man, you have noth- ing but time. And as the years have sped past one by one, ten by ten, I have often thought of the very fine advice I once received from the old judge. For, as young people, we literally have noth- ing but time. We have time, when life is young, to dream dreams, to make plans, to prepare our- selves, to learn to think, to become kindly, to make a great foundation upon which our future lives can be built. When we're young we have time to meet the great thinkers, the great poets. the great leaders, through the medium of good books. When we're young we have the time to hear music clearly, we have time to become enraptured with color-whether from an artist's brush or in Nature. When we're young we have time to leam to love our fellow man. We have time to be cour- teous and kind, to live a part of our lives for others. We then have time to remember and cultivate all of these little niceties of demeanor and character which make for a truly fine per- son. Youth has everything, except experience. But experience is not always valuable: quite often it is not. For experience is often nothing more than the vain repetition of those things which are wrong in the first place. Older people are often like the golfer who would stop his slice. Hour after hour he practiced, only to make his slice more acute. For the golfer, thinking that practice makes perfect, did not seem to realize that practice makes perfect only what we prac- tice. So no advice will we give you graduates of the class 1951. You have everything needed to make our world and our country better. Most especially, you have time. Time is your most valued asset: the gold in Fort Knox is not worth as much. What you do with your time, that pre- cious asset of yours, will determine for you- and perhaps others-just what kind of a life you build and what kind of country we'll have for posterity. I pray you, use that time well. For this too will pass, and the sands of the desert will cover even your tracks. I 0 95 WMM CLEANERS 1456 S.
