THE CARDINAL CASTELLAN OF 1933 l.I.ovu Tuovms. El.l.r:N H.-x.ANEl.A. JUNE Hosucu. lVlAYNARll Hui.:-iv. PRESIDENT? MESSAGE January, 1 933 ur: memhers of our class now hegin to realize what graduation from high school means. For the past four years most of us have heen together in Thomas M. Cooley High School, although many have come from other secondary institutions of learning. During these more or less well-filled semesters we have felt safe and secure but now there is an impending feeling of lonesomeness and helplessness as we look into the future. We are sure, however, that our learning and preparations will support, us in later life, especially in the realms of higher education. We know that we will be called upon to lead our lives as good citizens, and in this undertaking there will be no failures. With our mem- orial to the school we have meagerly attempted to pay our debts of gratitude. Therefore, we, the January graduates of l933, passing our ideals and traditions on to the following graduating classes, wish to express and extend our gratitude and thanks to all those who have helped and endeavored to make our high school life the happiest and most productive period of our careers.

THE CARDINAL CASTELLAN OF 1933 JANUARY CLA SS HISTORY ANUARY 12 was the climax of four years of companionship, effort, hard work, and pleasure for the two hundred and thirty two graduates of the Class of January, 1933. The class was first organized as 12B's in March, 1932. Thomas McGibbon was elected president, Jack Cox vice-president, June Hosier, secretary, and Lloyd Thom- as treasurer. Selection of the 12B cabinet immediately followed the selection of officers. Thus the January, 1933 class was first organized under the capable super- vision of its sponsors: Mr. Emmons, Mrs. Snider, Mr. Allman, Mr. Fraser, Miss Reed, Miss Wilk, and Mr. Little. Four events of primary importance were undertaken by the class during its 12B semester. The first was the 12B play, A Full House, presented in the audi- torium on the evenings of April 29 and 30. All members of the cast and even the hard working director, Mrs. A. Fry, survived the arduous ordeal of play prac- tice and the production was pronounced a success. The second event of the season was the 12B dance held in the gymnasium on a Friday afternoon late in May. A picnic at Twin Beach Country Club was the third function of the 12B class. The fourth and crowning event of the semes- ter, however, was the luncheon given by the 12B,s for the 12A's following the graduation exercises on June 23. The luncheon and program was followed by dancing in the gymnasium. Organized as the 12A Class the follow- ing October the class chose these officers: Maynard Bailey, president, June Hosier, vice-president, Ellen Haanela, secretary' and Lloyd Thomas, treasurer. 1 Two social functions and the tradition- al 12A Day were sponsored by the class. November 18, a tea dance was given at the Birmingham Golf Club and on Janu- ary 16 a dance was held in the gymnasium for the 12A's. December 20 was the day appointed for 12A Day. During the entire day all teachers' positions were held by 12A's. Late in the afternoon on the same day a surprise party was given for the class, the faculty assuming the role of kids and vociferously cheering their teachers.', The most important and outstanding day of the semester, however, was January 12. Commencement exercises were held in the auditorium at ten o'clock. The Reverend Widdifield of St. Paul's Episcopal Church delivered the invoca- tion and Dr. Charles McKenny, President of the Michigan State Normal College gave the address. Diplomas were pre- sented by Mr. Emmons assisted by Mr. Nielsen. Fourteen members of the class were graduated with magna cum laude honors and twenty received cum laude honors. Thomas McGibbon received the Hi-Y plaque for general leadership in school activities. The University of Michigan plaque, awarded for excellence in leadership, scholarship, and athletics, was given to Lloyd Thomas. James Allen and Sally Nelson were given medals for outstanding work in the music depart- ment. Following graduation the class was entertained at luncheon by the 12B's and in the afternoon a dance was given in the gymnasium. And so ended the history of the Class of January, 1933.
