I HE IONEER. PUBLISHED BY THE Dearborn High School DEARBORN. MICH. 1923 As an expression of our appre- ciation for service in the. Dear- born Public Schools for over a decade, for sincere interest in school activities, for uprightness of character, and for Christian citizenship, we dedicate The Pioneer of 1923 to H. A. Salisbury, teacher and friend. ■A FOREWORD To present the life of Dearborn High School; to lion'or the good fellowship between the faculty and the student body; to make this a book of memories— this has been our aim. Insofar as we have suc- ceeded, we owe a debt of gratitude to those who have made it possible to publish this year-book.

She stood by us througn thick and thin, And she'll do the same for you. She’s been fair and square in her dealings. She’s taught us the right thing to do, We’ll endeavor in all of our dealings, To be just as square and as true. In gymnasium or any activities, On campus or athletic field. She meets all opponents in friendship. But never an inch does she yield, She’s sure of support so she’s confident. We’re sure of her help, , j we’re gay; To have such a staunch friend behind us. Is the source of our pep and our play; Its alike both in tasks and in pleasure. In class rooms, assembly or games. She’s a comrade and helper and shares alike. In either our praise or our blames. In all of our trials and endeavors. If we hit a big bump and then stop. And we’re all discouraged and done for, And there seems nothing for us to do. There’s a feel of a friendly hand on your arm. And then ’fore you know it, you’re through. Now, Our School never turns her back when you’re downed. She isn’t that kind of a sport. In some way or other, a way will be found. She’s a pal, good and true, the right sort. —ELLA THOMAS, ’25. Siutrit nf Eiutratton Dr. E. F. Fisher...............................President Mr. S. D.

Then thirty Freshmen left home plate with the determination to reach first base. They had to play against Science, Literature, Mathematics, Latin, Music and Art. The battle promised to be a very difficult one, but there were people to cheer for both sides. Who would win? Advancement was slow but without fail the thirty reached first base. The second lap of the journey was not so hard. The players, fought against the same with the exception of Caeser, which was substituted for Latin I. This new player on the opposing team was a “Star,” but the Sophs were determined to win. Several parties were held and the team did not lose its pep during the entire year. By June, 1921, they had reached second base. At this stage of the game the team was strengthened by the addition of several new players. These were Wellman 1’ippenger, Donald Cameron, Har- old Hofifer, Walter Griffith and Walter Kruke. As Juniors they started into the game with enthusiasm. The officers of the Sophomore year had been so efficient and proved such help in strategic points of the game that they were kept for another year. In fact the Junior class showed much more pep than the seniors and was considered one of the liveliest classes in school. The out- standing feature of this inning was the play “Miss Somebody Else” which was very successfully staged. A big obstacle in the form of semester examinations presented itself at the end of the year. A few made third easily, but several others took a long slide. With third base reached, we were ready for the home stretch. This, in spite of ninth hour grammar class, proved the best inning of all and each player distinguished himself in his own way. Milt made everyone envious of his prowess in athletics. Gladys always preferred an alumni party. Harold Hoffer proved that he could tell the absolute truth for twenty-four hours. Helen surpassed everyone in her Prima Donna roll. Russel Smith won the title, “The Lady’s Man.” Westbrook is better known as “Rudolph Vaselino” or “Steve Himself.” At the end of the first semester Kruke and Wittersheim contemplated going into the grocery business, but changed their minds. Fern succeeded in vamping all the men. Wellman entertained the students many times by displaying his vocal talent in chapel. Griffith spent most of his time trying to find someone who couldn’t tell the truth. Victoria could always be found in the Prin. office. Zetta was our candy maker. If a maid is wanted, we recommend Henrietta. During leap year Wm. Tw'ork kept the girls lined up asking him to dance. Daniel Lamet received the nickname “Darwin.” Hans was always the girls’ favorite at the coasting parties and Harold Putzig the leading man at the skating rink. Ruth Haigh proved to all that domestic art was her constant thought. As for me I learned the knack of ringing doorbells while selling tickets for the Basket Ball Movie. Thus, the game was finished and although there is a feeling of regret, still we are glad to have won, and ready to challenge the bigger league—Life. MINNIE PO1.1 .AKOWSKI. £ ntior (Elaiiii !|3rflj.iiinui As I sat in my room on my twenty-ninth birthday anniversary wishing that I might draw aside the curtain that hides from us the future in order that T might know what it held for me, 1 was seized with the sudden desire to visit a soothsayer. Hastily donning my wraps I passed out into the street and j down it a block or two where 1 had seen a poster, “Your Future Revealed.” I knocked at the door. Imagine my surprise when Lucille Dunn met me. I was overjoyed to see her. In the course of the conversation which followed I asked i her if she had heard from any other of the members of our class. She solemnly j beckoned me to a mysterious looking cauldron in the next room and told me to j look inside. For the next hour I saw a series of scenes and faces that com- • pletely dazed me. The first picture was a beautifully furnished drawing room where Victoria Larson seemed to be the center of attraction. The scene lasted only a moment and the next was of an entirely different character—Zetta Forbes, in cap and j apron, standing over a steaming vat of tomato soup. A dance hall next at- ! tracted my attention. Couples were gracefully swaying to the count of the j director. Bill Twork, and 1 was surprised to recognize Russel Smith as the ; leader of the orchestra. The next scene was of a quiet country town. The church bells were ringing and people were gathering at the little white church on the hill. I was watching the crowd with mild curiosity when suddenly my ' curiosity turned to interest, for I recognized Harold HofFer. By his side walked a black haired lady who had an unmistakable air of Ypsilantian culture about her. A slight change of scene, I gazed into the interior of the church. The preacher was Hans Hansen and the choir leader was Walter Kruke. A 'i shifting of scenes! This one was laid in Ann Arbor. Among the ropes and swings at the top of a big gymnasium was Westbrook Ruddock doing a stunt which required a great deal of skill. On inquiry 1 learned that Ruth Haigh was Women's Physical Director in the same college. The “New Detroit’' next attracted my attention. People were crowded into the theater and I fol- lowed the crowd. Two figures were gracefully gliding across the floor. J Imagine my amazement when I recognized the dancers as our class mates, 1 Fern Adams and Harold Putzig. In another picture I saw Helen Brockm Her living happily with her husband and three children in the suburbs of Chicago and across the street from her I discovered Charles Wittersheim enjoying domestic bliss in the fullest sense with his wife and twelve children. “J. W. Brown—Undertaker and Funeral Director”—next met my gaze. Standing in the doorway waiting for her husband (Mr. Brown) was Henrietta Sylvester. 3 In front of the undertaker’s apartment was a hugh push cart loaded with an kinds of fruit. The owner? Wellman Pippenger. Next I saw a comfortable bachelor’s apartment. Seated in an easy chair with his feet propped up on a footstool was Milton Wagner. The apartment across the hall differed slightly. I Bird cages, cats and dogs adorned this one. Sitting in a very straight backed chair holding a cat in her arms was our friend Minnie. Perhaps the bachelor often called on Minnie—who knows? The next two pictures surprised me greatly. The first was Walter Griffith as a professor of chemistry and the other was Daniel Lamet as President of the United States. This was all. The cauldron revealed no more. I thanked my friend, the soothsayer, for her kindness and went home feeling that my life beside the lives of my classmates had been a complete failure. I resolved to do some- thing, but what I resolved to do and how I carried it out does not belong in this issue. GLADYS BROCK MILLKK. (Elasa of 1U24 In September, 1922, the Junior Class joyously (?) entered our so-called Temple of Learning thirty strong. After a few days of ‘‘settling down” and organizing classes, pandemonium predominating, a class meeting was called for the purpose of electing officers. Despite a few minor difficulties the unani- mous vote of the class for President was Frank McIntyre; for Vice-President, the dark haired, vivacious Margaret Little; for Secretary, the dependable Mil- dred Scott, and for Treasurer, the grinning and honest “Hank,” alias Henry, Wiener. Compared to their Freshman and Sophomore years, the Juniors did not hold many parties, but “still waters run deep,” you know, and although silent as the Sphinx for quite a time, the students of the class were working. Haughtily disregarding the frivolities which the other classes were indulging in, they toiled diligently in order that their class might head the list in scholarship. The class as a whole was very well represented in school activities. Their “Midget” stunt at the annual High School carnival met with such success that they had to respond to an encore. The first of December it was necessary to elect new officers, at which time Margaret Little was chosen President; William Stein, Vice-President; Mil- dred Scott, Secretary, and Leonard Brownless, Treasurer. These officers carried the burden the remainder of the year. In conclusion it might well be said that the Juniors aimed to bring their class to the front, and although they have undoubtedly succeeded they hope to do still better in their Senior year. JUNIOR CLASS (Class of U135 In 1921 a band of fifty-five Freshmen entered High School. At our first meeting we elected Harold Carnell, President; Charlotte Rudolph, Secretary, and William Pfeiffer, Treasurer. It was during our freshman year that the High School held its first Carnival, at which our class had a booth and gave a little play called “Borrowing Trouble.” This year thirty-four of us returned as Sophomores to increase our knowl- edge and renew our activities. Our officers elected for the year are: Charlotte Rudolph, President; Brayton Bounker, Vice-President; Martha Putzig, Secre- tary, and Paul Minnis, Treasurer. For our stunt at the carnival this year we took the audience on a “ Trip Around the World,” entertaining them with the various gay costumes of the different countries. Our class is well represented in Glee Club, Campfire, Student Council. Orchestra, Football, Basket Ball, Orange and Black Staff, and the Pioneer Staff. Though we have tried this year to show our school loyalty, we shall endeavor next year to be the best junior class yet. SOPHOMORE CLASS (ttlafis iif 1326 When the school bell called us to our activities last September there were forty-five freshmen enrolled, all of whom were anxious to have a try at High School. Immediately after we had settled down our first class meeting was called and three officers elected: President, Frederick Burch; Vice-Presi- j dent, Russel Stiers, and Secretary and Treasurer, Neta (ireenwald. Every one looked upon us “freshies” as greenhorns, but all were cpiite j surprised when Mr. Millard put the averages on the board for the first month. The Freshies led the Honor Roll. We are not a quiet bunch by any means, at least you wouldn’t think so if you could hear us during a quiet study period, i We took an active part in the Carnival. We had a booth and sold ice cream, pop, candy, etc. And that’s not all we did—we taught the audience its ■ A-B-C’s. The Freshmen Class is well represented in all High School activities. Early in the year we won the football game from the sophomores by a score of 12 to 0. It was a great game between arguments. Coach Foy refereed the game. Never before in the history of our High School has there been a more in- dustrious and enthusiastic Freshmen Class. In fact we will be quite melan- choly at the end of the year when we are given our cards telling us that we| are sophomores. Most Freshmen are not so proud of their name and rank- hut we?—Well, look us over! ! ! FRESHMAN CLASS Artimttea The outside activities of the students of Dearborn High School play no small part in their educational training. To discuss one’s beliefs with his fellow students, to feel his responsibilities as well as one’s own, to work beside him in the laboratory or to strive against him on the athletic field—these are the experiences and associations which help to broaden a student as well as make his school life more interesting. The students of D. H. find ample opportunity to develop this side of their educational training in the various music and literary clubs, parties, social times, etc., under student management. ijtitjli rlimil (£antiual The second Annual Carnival put on by the High School for the benefit of the Athletic Association was a bigger success than last year. There were for- tune tellers of every description, side shows and museums which furnished the amusement of the evening, while refreshments of all kinds were near at hand. The program was very unusual and well given. The freshmen pre- sented the “A-B-C” of School Activities, which proved to be as interesting as the “Trip Around the World” conducted by the Sophomores; and it would be difficult to decide which was the better rendered, the Musical Comedy, “The Midgets,” given by the Juniors, or Grand Opera presented by the Seniors. “Hank s” genial smile won the Juniors the most applause, but, perhaps, the lack of applause for the Seniors was due to the fact that the audience wasn’t able to appreciate grand opera. £ nttnr Prom. The Senior Prom given between semesters, to which the students, teachers and alumni were invited, was a very enjoyable affair. It is hoped that this may prove only a beginning and the Senior Prom may be an annual party toward which we will all look forward. piitjairal araintng The work of the physical training classes has proved much more of a pleasure than a duty. Both boys and girls look forward to the day when they can spend two hours in the gymnasium in exercise and play. Work on hori-■ zontal bars, traveling rings, swings, ropes, etc., has proved so beneficial that all the girls now boast of their “muscle” and “strength.” (Earniual CEnmmittrrfi Miss Simmons - -- -- -- - General Manager Miss Sharp - -- -- -- -- Business Manager Miss Betts - - - - Chairman Program Committee Mr. Millard ----- Chairman Booth Committee ( ntrral (Cnmmittmi Seniors—Zetta Forbes, Daniel Lamet Juniors—Leonard Brownless, Ellen Ketchum.

All boys in high school are required to take four complete semesters of physical training during their four years of work, and this is very important, as no student is allowed to graduate without this requirement. The work varies in its progress from general floor work; that is, set- ting-up exercises, marching and squad movements, to finished parallel bar work, horse and buck, ropes and rings. Along with all this we are trying to do all we can toward corrective work and examination of all students. 3. ORANGr Published Bi-Mon Tb’E riJi a BLACK VOL. 3. NO. 10.

H. S. in the past. Last year a feeble attempt was made to organize a public speaking class and to de- velop a debating team, but for some reason neither was a success. This year, under the efficient direction of Mrs. Beeman, both have reached a certain degree of success. Unusual interest has been shown in public speaking and much enthusiasm has been aroused. The work carried on by the class has been the subject of many discussions. Originality is encouraged in the preparation of speeches and conversations of all sorts. Readings, declamations and orations have been committed to memory. Along with its other work the class has attempted to debate on the leading questions of the day. The work in debating, however, has been confined mostly to students out- side of the Public Speaking class. Two teams were organized, an affirmative and a negative, each debating the question of the St. Lawrence Waterway with teams from other schools. All in all, the teams, while they did not always win the debate, were suc- cessful, and with the experience gained this year we hope and expect a win- ning team next year. Dearborn High School also sent representatives to the District Declama- tory and Oratorical Contest. Mildred Davenport represented us in Declama- tion and Lydia Rudolph in Oratory. JJublir £ praktti0 (Hlasa Public speaking has increased in popularity since the beginning of the year and now the class boasts of fourteen members, Evelyn Wiegand, Helen Bolz and Hermina Blankertz having entered at the beginning of the Second Semester. iflrnthrrB Mrs. Beeman.

They are among the prime factors which offer a great part of the needed educational training to the dili- gent, enthusiastic, and wide-awake student. Whether it be indirectly or di- rectly, it may well be said that these organizations which have recentiv grown up like mushrooms—if one may be permitted to use the expression—give the individual something which will prove to be of vast importance to him in later life when he plays his part as a true citizen of our great and wonderful United States. They increase his school loyalty and enthusiasm, and make him realize the benefit of successful co-operation; they give him a feeling of self-reliance when he learns that the success of a certain project, organization, or enterprise depends upon him as well as upon others, and also an insight into the value of entering whole-heartedly into the spirit of a thing. Besides the social experiences many other interests arc encouraged under student management. The Student Council, the Campfire Girls, the Honorary Society, and the brench Club or Le Cercle Francais present to the students ample opportunity for the development of his character, both socially and educationally. The Student Council which was organized about two years ago has emphatically proved that it was one of the prime factors in our school activi- ties. The Representatives efficiently and expertly handle the work to which they have been elected by the student body as a whole. Meetings are held, important problems pertaining1 to the betterment of the school are discussed, and resolutions and rules are adopted according to parliamentary law which convincingly prove the value of Dearborn High School’s democratic form of government. And it can be said that this organization, under the leadership of Mr. Millard, has passed through the most interesting and varied career of its existence. The Honor Society was just recently organized with the purpose of re- warding good scholarship and encouraging better work. It is accomplishing its purpose, for the students seem to be slowly but surely determined to win the honor of belonging. Le Cercle Francais, an organization to which the French students belong, has proved to be highly popular and beneficial. At its monthly meetings they become acquainted with customs of French authors and artists. At these meet- ings one hears a conglomeration of French and English, but these “would be” Frenchmen with their “Parle vous’s” and “Oui-la-la’s,” enjoy themselves to the utmost. In summarizing, little need be said, outside of the fact that these organiza- tions which have been mentioned above play a leading part in our Dearborn High, with which it would be extremely uninteresting to be without. Honorary Swirtij At the beginning of this school year, at a faculty meeting, our Superiors all assembled in one room, came to the conclusion that Dearborn High School, as a whole, had great possibilities. Our athletic record, for the past few years, was found to be one which any school would be proud to look back upon; our social record was up to the standard; co-operation existed between the mem- bers of the various classes; and school spirit was present in abundance. One thing, though, the Superiors decided we lacked and that was competition in the class rooms. And so our present plan of scholarship competition was de- cided upon, signed by the members of the faculty and lawfully recorded in the “Book.” A special session of chapel was called and the “bill” was read before the Assembly. The Assembly approved and the “bill” became a law. The plan produced a very noticeable change in the attitude in our class rooms. Students now realized that there was a specified goal toward which to guide their efforts and diligent studying and working was the daily routine of the members of our school. The number of names on the Honor Roll was increased every month. Competition slowly made itself felt in the class rooms and students became rivals of one another in regard to class room duties. Our Scholarship system embraces an “Honor Society.” Students receiving a B plus average in every subject for one semester thereby become members of this Society. If the B plus average is continued throughout a second semes- ter a student receives a bronze membership pin in recognition of the honor. A B plus average for the whole High School career of a student entitles him to a gold membership pin. Briefly, this is our scholarship system. During the past year it has been but an experiment, for never before had the Dearborn High School students worked so hard for proficiency in scholarship. The experi- ment worked out very successfully. The standard of our Scholarship has been raised and although it was found at the end of the first semester that onl three were entitled to membership in the Honor Society, yet the general standard is higher than in previous years. W e are proud of the fact that our High School has adopted this plan ot awarding honors for betterment of our scholarship. It is now up to us, the students of the school, to place the standard high. Let’s do our part. Let’s better our athletics, better our school spirit, but, above all, strive for the dis- tinction of belonging to the Honor Society. Let’s make our school the best all-round school in the State of Michigan. Members Gladys Brockmiller Florence Pingston Florise Jorgensen Freshman Freshman Senior - The foundation of Camp Fire is the home. Fire, the symbol of the home and hearth, appears in the name of the organization. The home is built around life; the feeling of protection, the companionship around the table, the love of family and friend. The tasks of home making should be kept from becoming drudgery, and this Camp Fire does for its girls. The work of the home is dignified and made interesting by being made worthy of recognition and praise when it is well done. Camp Fire strives to make the every day task contribute to the joy of living. To this end there are seven points of law to follow, namely: “Seek Beauty,” which means all things that go to make life beautiful and worth while; “Give Service,” which includes patriotism and training for citizenship as well as service that will benefit those around us; “Pursue Knowledge,” which aims to develop the mind to grasp and meet the problems of the day; “Be Trustworthy,” which emphasizes honesty to our- selves and those with whom we are associated; “Hold on to Health,” which is necessarv to our well being; “Glorify Work,” which means “to do” to the best of our ability with a willing heart, and “Be Happy,” which comes to all who follow the points of the law. The seven points in a girl’s education which the Camp Fire program stresses, represent those things which have always been and always will be most important and significant in a girl’s and woman’s life: the home, health, outdoor life, citizenship, the making of beautiful objects with the hands, a knowledge of nature and of earning one’s daily bread. Camp Fire aims to train girls to meet the responsibilities of life easily and with understanding. The work and ideals of Camp Fire Girls had its direct origin in the home, and later in the private camp of Dr. and Mrs. Halsey Gulick, on Lake Sebago, Maine. Here, for a number of years. Dr. and Mrs. Gulick, with the desire to meet the needs of their own daughters and their friends, worked out the be- ginnings of what was later, with some modifications, accepted as the ritual and form of the Camp Fire Girls. The name of their camp, “Wohelo”—which had been formed from the first two letters of each of the three words, “Work,” “Health” and “Love,” became the watchword of the new organization, char- tered March 17, 1912. Four years later, on March 31, a small group of nine girls organized the first local Camp Fire, to be known officially as the Detroit Arsenal Camp Fire, commemorating the fact that the school they attended had been built from the bricks of the old Detroit Arsenal. We enter upon our seventh year, with a membership of about sixty, including active members, alumnae and former students of Dearborn High School:— Our great fire is always burning, Sending forth its cheery ray, And its light a flaming banner Lighting up the magic way. So we’re always just as ready Serving as in days gone by. For we’re full of vim and spirit, Camp Fire Girls of Dearborn High. .

It has not only brought the two classes together for a social time but has proved an educational factor as well. The classes have studied the works of noted French authors and artists and customs of the country, thus making the class room work more interesting.

We wish to take this opportunity to congratulate the school board and faculty on the outstanding, resultant success their unflagging efforts have wrought in the last few years, in the way of additional new buildings, and athletic and social facilities; all of which raise the standards of educational value and mark its stamp upon the growing community. Class of 1923—Your school days arc rapidly drawing to a close, and due, not only to vour individual efforts, but to the splendid co-operation of the faculty, you are leav- ing Dearborn High School equipped with the mental tools necessary for the vocations or further schooling upon which you are about to engage. The remembrances and fruits of these foi r years of effort, with its vastly superior advantages over the facilities of those who have gone before, should be to you a constant spur towards higher accom- plishments in order that the reflection of your further activities in life might be a credit to the school and to the untiring efforts of the faculty. You owe a debt to those who have made it possible for you to graduate, a debt to succeed—each success being your signal mark of appreciation. YVc also wish to congratulate the students as a body on this second annual and to thank them for the portion allotted for our use. We who have left our school years behind rs arc not willing to be forgotten so soon, for our school days are treasured among our fondest memories. The accomplishments of the alumni have not been commensurate with its abilities as an organization. Individual successes in business and school life, as well as in the late war, will bear this out. Let us get together this year and keep our Alumni Association in act and further its activities so that its advantages will be equal to that which the younger graduates have a right to expect. An annual dance, an annual banquet to the graduates, and annual athletic competition between the school teams and the old grads have all been suggested and are all worthy of serious consideration. We ask that our present officers take these things into consideration and take some action on any or all of them as they see fit. We hope it will be this year. We ask in closing that the Alumni of this and the last few preceding years put their shoulders to the wheel and give us the benefit of their more recent experiences in school life under the modern system. The new school spirit which has been created by development of what we know is the finest educational plant of its kind, is necessary to help put the Alumni Association on a better basis. Such an organization keeps us in touch with the old school, the new ways, and makes us better citizens. We thank you, DEARBORN HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI. «I mw m • • • • • • • ■« • • • $§ £ Athletics in Dearborn High School during the past two years has been shooting forward by leaps and bounds and today is in a nourishing conditi n. Last year, due to the building of one of the most pretentious gymnasiums in the state, several new sports were inaugurated. The old sports, combining with the new, have formed a foundation of rock upon which we have built up our athletic prestige. A few years ago Dearborn athletics were little known, but today, so rapid has been their development and to such an extern, that Dearborn now ranks as one of the leading Class C schools in the State.

Under the expert coaching of Wm. Foy the Orange and Black went through the season with eight victo- ries and one defeat. The call for candidates brought forth a quick re- sponse. Seven letter men were found available as well as an abundance of inexperienced material. The outlook was considered fair. From this rather uncer- tain foundation an aggregation was developed whose aggressiveness and fighting spirit won the respect and admiration of all whom they played. When the whistle blew at the end of the first game it was seen by all that Dearborn had a well balanced team from which much could be expected. How well the team lived up to these expectations can be seen by the final results, when, after a hard struggle, Dearborn was able to lay claim to State honors. But that which we desired most, the silver loving cup, given for supremacy in the League, is at last among our trophies. For two successive years Dear- born has had her hands reaching for the cup, but always slipped at a critical time, when a victory was most needed. Now that we have gained the cup we have hopes of keeping it, and promise for the future to give all contenders hard, fair struggle for it. Dearborn, 52; Ford City, 0. Dearborn, 21 ; Bedford, 6.

THE FOOTBALL SQUAD SUnnmt of HaafedhaU Season Taking into consideration the fact that this is but the second year of actual compe- tition in tiiis sport, the performance of both boys’ and girls’ teams was beyond predic- tion. With but one letter man remaining from last year, Coach Foy whipped into shape from rather uncertain material a fast going quintet that showed teams, supposed to be of better calibre, that Dearborn had a hard- fighting defensive and offensive team. With the teams in the league being more equally matched than ever before, Dearborn took second place after a brilliant start and a faltering finish. They entered the tourna- ment at Ypsilanti with twenty-seven other teams from the district and took runner-up position, thus gaining a privilege accorded to only eight teams in the state, that of entering the State Finals at Ann Arbor. Dearborn has the distinction of a place on each of the Mythical All-State First and Second teams. Wagner has the honor of Running Guard position on the All-State First team and Burch (Captain of next year’s five) the position of Forward on the All-State Second team. The girls’ coach, Mrs. Fletcher, was quite as successful with the girls’ team. With but three veterans from last year’s team available as a nucleus, she developed a fast, hard-working sextet of accurate passers and uncanny shooting ability that rivaled the boys in fighting spirit, tying for second place in the league after remaining a greater part of the season in a triple tie for first honors. Both teams have been an honor and a credit to this institution. The basket ball teams this year have really put Dearborn on the map in regard to athletics. Both have been able to overcome stiff opposition. These teams of fighters have prepared the way up the ladder of “Athletic Supremacy” by making Dearborn one of the factors to be reckoned with in the future as well as to inspire the teams that are to come with that remembrance of their glory and achievement.

The thin-clads of this year are out to equal or break the record made last year. Placing second in the state meet at Lansing last year, the team thought they had established a record that would last for a good many years, but from the performances so far this year that record is “doomed” to be broken. While Dearborn lost its mainstay through graduation, there are several good men left to fill the gap.and if the present indications hold true Dearborn Will have a well-balanced team, with men good enough to place in every event.
