As Today we do our class work, participate in activities, serve our school, and make lasting friendships, we also live along the way. Follow- up studies show that for seventy per cent of us, college amen: 12...- lies ahead. About twenty-three per cent will go im- mediately into iobs. Afew will enter the Service of our Country. The Tomorrow we dream of and plan for will be ours if we work and prepare for it Today. All our lives New Horizons lie ahead - inviting, challenging, rewarding. ...Z ...await . 5 3 WU 3 We study , , . and learn to con- cemrafe. Good study habits wil never come amiss.

Service to your fellowman, unselfishness, integrity, and co-operative effort are qualities in which your teachers have trained you for your future careers. Leaving school, you begin in earnest to learn the weight of things for your- self. The burdens of responsibility now shift rapidly from the shoulders of your parents and teachers to your own, Do not be content with mediocrity. Strive to do the work assigned to you with your best effort, so that each step forward will find you better prepared and bring you closer to your ultimate goal and a broader, richer horizon, John L. Scolaro, BHS l938. 9 LOOKING AHEAD TOWARD A HOME Marruage and a home of one s own are essentual ungreduents to successful homemakung But the success or faulure of homemakung depends upon the use made of these ungreduents They should be well blended wuth several others lusted here and the blendung should be done by both partners un the marruage Here are the essentuals Loyalty to each other, to your chuldren to your fruends to your commu nuty, and to your Country 2 Co operatuon lount effort un famuly actuvutues each takung an unterest un the other s effort and achuevements Cheerfulness un the face of dusappountment or musfortune 4 Respect for each other always In short, the use of the Golden Rule us the funest unsur ance ofa successful home Ruth Navun Taylor BHS l94O GETTING ALONG WITH PEOPLE As your hugh school days become memorues of pleasant experuences and fond fruendshups, look to the future to see what ut has to offer Whether college or an ummeduate 'ob us your chouce, a vast sea of unfamuluar faces awauts you Meet these new unduvuduals wuth an anxuous hand, yet remaun suncere Extend yourself to the utmost un cordualuty stull do not forsake your untegruty In short, make the most of these potentual fruendshups For as they have proved unvaluable un the past, they hold the key to the happuness and success of the future Charles Murray, BHS I947 LIVING ALONG THE WAY A wuse phulosopher once saud, You cannot st p unto the same stream twuce He meant that nothlng stands stall, that the same opportunuty never knocks twuce, and that what we don t do today doesn t get done Somethung to thunk about as we lu e along the way It us too bad for anyone to belueve he us goung to start luvung when he graduates from hugh school, or college, or gets out of the Army, or funds a mate The choucest person learns to luve along the way, enloyung the fun, and the excutemcnt and the wonder of Iufe s heughts and depths God must have a sense of humor to make us the way we are Let s make the most of ut Reverend John Bathgate BHS l94O SENSE OF ACCOMPLISHME NT As Commencement tume draws near, we have a feelung of mungled sadness and regret We hope we are equupped to meet Lufe, but we also belueve that we have accomplushed somethung un our three years un hugh school The honors receuved by many of us are, We know, only recognutuon of somethung we already have We belueve that most of us have not thought too much about Tomorrow lufe has been so very unterestung challengung and unspurung Today We have worked studued, planned, and had fun together What better way us there to spend three gloruous years?

Berndt, has distinguished itself both as a marching and concert musical organization. Since it is the city's onlyband, its activities included playing for football and basketball games, leading the students on Field Day and at the Royal Oak pep rally at the theatre, and marching in the traditional Hallowe'en and Memorial Day parades. Although it qualified to take part in the state festival by taking a superior rating at its district festival, it did not participate because of dates conflicting with spring vacation. Solos and ensembles by members of the group made a fine showing at their district and state festivals. Flute: John Boulton, Sandra Puls, Ann Ruttledge, Lelia Barber. game!

Not much mysti- fied by the intricate-looking mechanism are Gordon Sweeney, Sim Thoms, Tom Kaiser, Paul Ayers, Carl Bartelson, Louis Garner and Gary Ginther. Crowded to capacity are the mechanical drawing classes. Most of the students are those interested in architecture and en- gineering. Occasionally a few girls en- roll. Engrossed in their work are Bob Lowell, Bob Mange, John Boise, Roger Hood, Bob Selvidge, and Tom Rickelman. Working with crystal stencils, heavy duplicator paper, and other superior sup- plies bought at the Birmingham Office Supply Company gives excellent training for good jobs, and the office machines course teaches the girls skills, speed, and efficiency, Working in the office ma- chines room are Violet Macdonald, Mar- garet Carter, fviarion Finney, Pat Halpin and Elizabeth Carter. With the new facilities in the retailing room, students have a better chance to gain experience in off-the-job related lines, such as window-trimming. Evelyn Simancelc, Barbara Webster, George Moody and Ronald Anderson are taking their turn at arranging and planning a store window display. Operating the presses in the new print shop are Jon Jahn and Lee Heimbeclc. The Future Nurses' Club is made up of girls who know exactly what they want to do beyond high school. Organized last fall under the guidance of a member from the University of Michigan, the girls elected Anne Macdonald president and set up a program of activities. Besides study- ing their occupation, the girls have made bibs, scrapboolcs, toys and layettes. The little apartment in the new school is both beautiful and entirely practical, modern in decor and equipment. ' ddaawzfmzdd ' 32 1 '.

We know now what they mean. lt was with a mixture of ioy and regret that students pack- ed up and bade farewell to Ol' Baldwin. A tear and a sigh and a lingering goodbye may be the sentiments of Mildred Rawlings and Betty Gravlin as they survey the empty shelves in the art room. A BIG job for a little car! Harvey Peters and Eric Davison are iust back from raiding the grocery stores to get quantities of cartons to pack up and move Publications to the new high school. Here they are unloading the first instalment. The maintenance men worked overtime toget Baldwin students and teach- ers all moved and settled in time to usher in the second semester. M men William Jehbicka, Harry Williams, Sam Marshall and George Harding -- and another big load in the making. ts! 3- RQ.. gi.- L.. 43 A very specual round of applause to Carol Hogshead, associate editor and Carol Marean edutor an chnef for theur careful supervusron and effucrent organnzatuon of thus year s Puper staff Without their ambition, lndustry, and leadership this yearbook would Well, utwould not have been' Working on copy wnth the editors to beat that ever rnsustent deadline are seated Barb Neal Bruce Carlusle, Carol Hogshead, associate edntor VIFQIUIO Robertson Barbara Blgge Sylvla Chalk Judy Shores, and Lando Loomus sfandmg are Carol Marean, edrtor nn chief Duck Emery sports edrtor and Erlc Davnson, assocaate sports edu or 1 1 Sue Jones, Paper advertusung manager glves last mnnute lnstructuons to ad SOlICIfOfS Jane Boyd Marelyn Robertson Janet Wasson Bll Chapel, Fred Roeben Arlyn Bader, Carolyn Bryant, Duck Young, Alice Harabeduan, Carol Hogshead, Jocelyn Watt Bull Hayes, Nancy Davlson, ShlrleyAbbott Linda Landsnaes Joanne Pedcler, Rosemary Hacks Dianne Hendershott Vnrglnna Wagner Nancy Atchley, and Carol McClelland Standlng un the background us Gwen Steele lt takes money to do anything un these days of nnflatnon And to do the Pnper takes a plutocratuc bank account Responsible for gettlng the shekels together rnthe l95l 52 year are Vrrglnla Robert son sales manager Jack Goodman, busuness manager Sue Jones, advertising manager and Blll Chapel assustant ad 'nanager 1 I I 1 l I I I I I .

Steering the hazardous financial course are Jan Wasson, assistant ad man- ager- Bill Chapel, ad manager' and Jack Goodman, business manager. Only the little staff of a dozen or so eligible for Journalism ll can possibly realize the tremendous amount of work that went into the publishing of the High- lander this year, even bi-weekly, and they themselves would be appalled at the number of man-hours spent in planning, writing, typing, l BM-ing , setting heads and ads, making cartoons, pasting up, distributing, and mailing the paper - IF they ever had time to figure them up! The first ones didn't look too good - to anyone but the staff, which knew the effort they cost. But skill came event- ually.

Crowning his prep school career was his unanimous selection to the all-Eastern Michigan League, all-Suburban, all-Eastern, and every recognized all-State team. The Associated Press picked him as the top high school football player in the state. He was also chosen to Scholastic Magazine's All-American high school team. Tom's record for the past football season is, phenomenal. He carried the ball lO4 times, picking up 964 yards for an average of 9.27 yards per try. His l54 points on 22 touch- downs and 22 extra points was the highest scoring total in the state. He also did most of the team's punting, averaging 35.86 yards on 22 kicks, some of which were intentionally short for direction. Of even greater importance, however, is the fact that Tom, as captain of the team, was a real leader and a true sports- man. His outstanding play and fighting spirit inspired the team to put forth its greatest effort. In spite of the many honors heaped upon him, Tom remained modest and unassum- ing, always ready to give credit to his teammates. On and off the field he conducted himself according to the highest ideals of sportsmanship Tom is Birmingham s most versatile athlete When he grad uates, he will have earned three letters each in football, basketball, and baseball, and one in track H is a f e guard and play maker on the basketball team and is regarded by bag league scouts as an excellent baseball prospect ln recognition of his feats on the gridiron Tom s number 20 lersey was permanently retired by the school He graduates In June leaving a matchless athletic record Backfield Coach John Petrakas, Line Coach Lewis arry Reserve Coach Kermit Ambrose Head Coach Vincent Secontlne 58 vi .1 4 In! , . . . . . .

Wewczlcfcfg Name a iob you want done, from the smallest to the largest, from the shortest tothe longest, from the easiest to the hardest-you'll find that Stu Scheifele is the man to do it. Stu has won a great deal of respect from his fellow students in every field. Need a man on your athletic team? A golfer, per- haps? Aquarterback? Or perhaps a keen competitor in basketball? Stu is the man to answer your call. He has distinguished himself in allthese sports. He quarter- backed the football team to its most successful season since '39, He was one of the fightingest guards our basketball team ever had. He was appropriately known by players and fans as Mr. Swish. The team members proved Stu's importance whentheyelected him captain. Again as captain, Stu is one of our finest golfers. With that record he rates tops. Need a scholar? Again Stu can answer your call with an excellent scholastic record. Stu has a straight A average with only one B marring his record. That record speaks for itself. In recognition of his athletic and scholastic attain- ments, Stu was named to the most coveted award a student athlete can receive, the Johnson Memorial Plaque. Need a leader for an extra-curricular activity? Stu's the manl ln this field Stu again proved his leadership in a memorable fashion. His service record includes such activities as important committees in Congress, president of the Assembly Club, president of Black and White Club, and president of the Honor Society, iust to mention a few. With this record we feel that Stu has established him- self in every field as a most versatile, well-rounded student, who is truly an outstanding Who's Who. 88 -. . . 5 . 3, I L - . gf-'f5,,fs .+ ' ,ah 'T -s 4 M: .1 'v , 6, J 1. -:fa . 4 -. ini ef 4' Ti 'av ! V . ,466 Zwwyiddwq-' All-league, all-state, all-America,all-everything! That just about tells the story of the feats of Tom Tracy, the greatest all-around athlete ever to perform for Birmingham High School. Tom has earned widest recognition in football, but he plays almost any sport with outstanding skill. His amazing versatility has earned him ten varsity letters, three each in football, basketball, and baseball, and one in track. On the football field, Tom does everything but take tickets . During the past season he established one of the most brilliant records in the history of Michigan high school football. He made everybody's all-state team and was chosen to Scholastic Magazine's and the American Coaches' Association all-American teams. The Associated Press named him the outstanding high school player in Michigan, and the United Press named him all state unanimously. 89 Tom is regarded by maior league scouts as an excel- lent baseball prospect. Last summer he worked out with the Detroit Tigers and plans to do so again this year. The New York Giants have been watching his progress for years. Because of his amazing co-ordination, Tom can play almost any sport. He was an all-league basketball player and received all-state honorable mention as a sophomore. Aside from his athletic ability, however,Tom is an all-'round swell guy. He has served on Student Con- gress, is a member of DJFR social club, and is popular with his fellow students. He is a real Who's Who, and has earned his place in the annals of Birmingham High School. 6264606 706344 ' The girl with a smile- One that's tops, 'tis true- ls this one we've chosen For our own Who's Who! The girl who has won that place in the hearts ofall of us is Claire Anderson. Who can ever forget CIaire's winning smile and interested participation in almost every activity in school? Many responsibilities have fallen to Claire's capable hands. Chairman of the service committee in Congress, she was responsible for the splendid iob done in painting the jugs for the football players. Claire was also a member of the Assembly Club, contributing much to its successful programs. Her active interest in school government was shown by her ready participation in Congress activities. As treasurer of Congress, Claire earned a reputation for dependability and efficiency, augmented by her splen- did iob as president of C T A and as secretary of her sophomore class. Claire was also one of the seven commissioners that took over the city on Civic Control Day. Elected .to the National Honor Society in her iunior year, Claire again showed her versatility. In spite of er studies and her many school activities, Claire finds time to demonstrate her remarkable salesmanship at Jacobson's. With her poise, personality, and versatility, Claire will surely succeed in life and will always have a smiling hello for everyone. Sincerity, dependability, and her innate friendliness go hand in hand to help us remember the girl with the winning smile. 90 45' , l 5059 Hlc z E 1 Widmofg' ' ' Marc Joslyn is the perfect example of a well-rounded high school graduate. As a politician, as a leader, as an athlete, or as a student, Marc excels in each field. Probably the best-liked boy in school, Marc was sure to lead by a wide margin in any balloting. He was elected president of Student Congress twice, president of his junior class, president of the i952 Washington Group, and president of Spanish Club. He was also elected Mayor of Birmingham for Civic Control Day. Marc is a natural leader. His iob as junior president was outstanding. The Congress presidency gave him his real chance to show his stuff. His administration was both constructive and creative, his prolific mind gave birth to new ideas, and he had the drive to carry things through. ln almost every organization in school Marc 91 could be found bringing projects to successful con- c lusions . Marc was also one of Birmingham's outstanding ath- letes. He was the best center the football team has had since Harold Watts played back in the early 4O's. Marc was the toughest linebacker behind one of the toughest lines the Maples ever had. In swimming it was the same story, only here it was Captain Marc Joslyn. Marc holds school records 'in three events. He won the first Goldsmith Trophy as the valuable swimmer figured through an obiective point system. He came within one point of leading the f'Y1OSl' team to a state championship. Besides all these attributes Marc is a truly great guy. Who's Who was made for people like Marc, the school will not soon forget his touch. ,I 99 ...ith If you notice a group convulsed with laughter and from the center you hear Bennett Cerf's jokes told in a Herb Shriner manner, crowd in--it's Newman. lf you see some advisors in a serious huddle and a friendly voice among them says, OK, l'll take care of it --it's Newman. If you hear a raucous voice echoing through the halls in imitation of Johnny Ray singing a South African folk song--it's Newman. Jim is entertainer, worker, athlete, and the friend- liest guy you could ever hope to meet. We knew Jim was destined for Who's Who all the time--didn't he inherit Joe Bachman's car? President of the senior class, president ofhis freshman A 1'C'V1 -S' G31 1 ff! 5 0 -1- vs 6' NIC Q' ,Q 1 Fs 00956 'fs T1C mam class, treasurer of his sophomore class, president of his social club, co-chairman of Civic Control Day, chair- man of committees for Congress work, and countless other iobs have been ably filled-jby Newman. Track, swimming, and football letters, a member of the 1951 state championship sprint medley relay team, a member of the 1952 championship freestyle relay team, all state honorable mention in football-- these prove Newman an unusual and versatile athlete. Trite phrases and worn out superlatives could be used to describe Jim. They would be dimmed by his bril- liance and provide only a lackluster picture. Let it suffice to say that for a true friend, a fine athlete, a talented leader--seek no further: it's Newman. 92 bl UN Wim Wemnq WW Name an activity in which girls have a part, and you will find Sandra one of the most enthusiastic and ener- getic ofworkers. She has made a record at Birmingham High School that will long be remembered. Inthe writing field the name of Sandra Puls has twice appeared on winning entries. She won a trip to New York for the United Nation Institute with her paper on Youth for Understanding. Her editorial written for the Torch Drive entitled The Flame of Hope won first place locally and was printed in Detroit and Pontiac newspapers. Sandra is probably best known for her leadership and good citizenship. Her ideas have been contributed many times in Student Congress, and she served as treasurer for one term. Her high school life of service was crowned when she was awarded the D. A. R. Good Citizenship Award. Another evidence of Sandra's versatility is her talent as a public speaker. She won the Hearst Oratorical Contest and worked in contest speaking and debate, besides giving the message at the Easter Sunrise Service on the Washington Trip. Sandra is also well known for her hard work in the Assembly Club, GAA, and the Birmingham High School Band. Along with her many activities, she has main- tained a high scholastic average and ranks in the top tenth of her class. Sandra's sparkling eyes and sense of humor reveal her bubbling vitality and radiant personality. She igq friend to all and is always willing to accept another job. gem 015 Lee Bertling James Newman William DeLoria Nancy Morse Suzanne Jones Carol Marean Rnchard Emery Eric Davison Marc Joslyn Russell Sanders Sara Dunn Carol Hogshead Jack Goodman Sandra Puls Claure Anderson Ned Sharples Wllllam Chapel Sodney McNary Martha Brown Charlotte Schwnmmer Joanne Greuner Stuart Schenfele Tom Tracy 94 em 0,4 52 David Bowen Nancy Atchley Mary Adams Ruchcrd Armbrust Borbara Bartelson Wullnam Anderson Carole Burlchenser Bradford Barr E l uzabeth Carter Margaret Carter Wnlllam Berndt Gaul Burlangame Rosemary Bedard Robert Campbell John Bosley Arlynn Bader James Beckman Carolyn Bryant Dwight Babcock Susan Anderson Ted Averill Ronald Anderson Mary Chritton Jack Beardsley 95 Tis. of 52 Julian Chalk Sally Cutter Ncrcy Cl mger James Fremont Dole Chrysler Nancy Davuson Richard Clark Donna Crouse B onnue Dayton Brant Cramer Patrlcua Cunmff Don Dlclclnson Charles Dare Joy De Vaney Clark Harris Phyllls Cox Andy Dennison Ruth Dombrowskn Isabel Delghton John Hardxn Bruce Duncan Wallnam Dodds Gaul Greng Dudley Chapman 96 I E ' . .

The press likes to call them nears of the futurefl Thousands of people have flocked to see them, and the question most often asked is, VVhen will you build cars like these for the public? Well, the answer is . . . they aren't intended to show exactly what future cars will be like. They were built and rebuilt over a period of several years, to give our engineers and designers the chance to test fresh and forward ideas, and get these ideas beyond the blueprint and laboratory stage. You never know, till you get ideas to the point where you can road-test them and let folks look at them, how practical they'll be . . . and how the public will take to them. We can promise you that, as time goes on, some of these far-in-advance features will begin to appear on cars in regular production. XN'e say that because it has happened before. Many of today's commonplace features on General Motors cars came right out of 'gtriesn like these in early years. In other words . . . Le Sabre and XP-300 are the latest examples of GM's continuous striving to develop higher levels of motor- car power, driving ease, comfort and safety. Th Top lllll'S wulld hy I First drop of rain falling on a sensitized spot between l,e Sabre seats starts lll4'CiliHllNlll which raises and locks top, rolls up side windows, XP-300 has steering post adjustable to driver's height-and St'illS which are adjust- able up and down, forward and backward, and whose contour backs ran be moved forward at belt line to ease back-strain on long drives. Both have built-in jacks on each wheel for easyitire changing. Typical of the many GM engineering experiments in these cars-to advance even further passenger comfort and driving ease.
