She stood by us through thick and thin, And she’ll do the same to you. She’s been fair and square in her dealings, She’s taught 11s 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, so we’re gay; To have such a staunch friend behind us Is the source of our pep and our play. It’s 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 HIGH SCHOOL ©ur § rlinnl A quickening pulse, A brightening eye, A feeling of loyalty that Reaches the sky.

With the atmosphere of the school room. With the memories of the ball-field; And of parties, plays and carnivals. We should answer, we should tell you From the lips of the Muse of History; Clio, as the ancients called her. Ye who love memories of your schoolmates, Love their foibles, tricks and make-up. Love to think back of the good times When you went to school together. Head this History lovingly set down here Of the Class of '24. Let us, before we begin this priceless memoir, for the sake of unity and co- herence, divide this History of the never-to-be-forgotten Senior Class into four dis- tinctive periods, namely; .Prehistoric, Ancient, Medieval and Modern. Of the first, commonly called the Freshman cycle, not much is known. Diligent historic research, however, has revealed a few important relics and hieroglyphics. These come in the form of desks with artistically cai-ved figures and names, memory books and note books, which indicate that the tribe had not, as yet, reached the “brain stage.” It was, in fact, a “brainless age.” The people of this race were wild and unrestrained and worked off their excess of “animal spirits” by holding a great many parties and playing on their fellows a superabundance of practical jokes. During the time of the second period we find that the tribe was progressing slowly but surely towards civilization, but they were still exceedingly superstitious. These superstitious manifestations were revealed by the conduct of this simple- minded people, for fearing a visitation of the wrath of those great deities (teach- ers), they behaved with an almost painful decorum and sacrificed their good times by fulniling the commands of the Higher Ups in improving their minds. However, this period was not wholly an age of darkness, for the great athletic contests, colorful and exotic carnivals and a few occasional parties which were held proved to be the silver lining in an otherwise dark cloud. Thus these individuals nved and learned, and we find in the pictures taken of them for the first High School Annual during the close of the Sophmorum period faint but unmistakable traces of intelligence. Their gigantic achievement in perfecting the Art of Excuse Making gives ample proof that these evolutions of their grey matter were genuine. The Juniorus Age, or the Medieval period, was one of great achievements and triumphs. We find the people at this t.me making rapid strides in mastering the mysteries and intricacies of book-lore, bortune smiled benignantly on the favored race and graciously granted them the honor of leading all the contending tribes in scholarship. At the beginning of this period we find traces of dissension between the powdered individuals, Genus Femina, and those belonging to the Genus Homo. However, fortunately coming to the wise conclusion that in union there is strength, they formed one great cL.n and elected Frank Mcintvre as Grand Chieftan, William Stein as his assistant, Mildred Scott as keeper of the Sacred Scroll, and Leonard Brownless as guardian of the precious metais. Later woman suffrage appeared on the horizon and Margaret Little became the Grand Chieftan. Thus they lived and waxed strong and self-reliant, sending some of their best boys and girls to repre- sent them in the field of SDort, and others into the realms of debating, singing, etc. Parties, banquets, carnivals, operettas and many other pleasant diversions claimed their attention, but sooth to say these brave people advanced ever upwards towards the goal for which they were contending. At last came the greatest of all ages, the Modern or Senior Age. We find the descend- ents of that famous Juniorus Era conducting themselves in the approved manner befitting the people who lived in this period. So one sees them holding conventions and nominating and electing, according to strict parliamentary rules. Leonard Hrownless as President. Margaret Little for Vice-President. William Stein as Official Secretary (which place was later taken bv barred Jenkins). and Lydia Rudolph as keeper of the Iron Men. Here again during this pe. iod various festivities and sports claimed their busy attentions and the Senior Prom and annual class play. I nder (over. which were included at this time, were pronounced to be “the .f?nas0.° However, the path of these people was not wholly a path of roses, for they ere threatened for quite a time by a hostile nation, the aggressive Faculty.

Before the novelty of the thing had worn off 1 noticed that we had arrived in the city of New ork in front of one of its largest theaters While watching the people that passed heneath us mv companion cal.ed my atten- tion to a young man who was just iu the act of passing through the door of the stage entrance. “Tint nerson M explained he. ‘‘is Henry Weiner, one of the worlds greatest tragedians todav It is said that he never smiles or laughs on the stage and that he keeps his audience in tears most of the time. Tonight he is to play Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet.’ ” Tompletely dazed and astonished. I thought over this piece of news until we found our- selves in the wild and wooly West, where 1 saw a lone and solitary horseman gallop down the road, armed to the teeth with blunderbuss and bowie knife. The sage enlightened me as to his identity. “That man.’’ he said, “used to be Farrel Jenkins, hut here he is known as ‘Hard-Boiled Jenks. the Terror of Seven Counties.’ ” 1 pondered over this calamity until we were in Hollywood. Here I saw Margaret Little acting the party of leading lady in that famous silent drama, “The Secrets of a Powder i nff “ John Lawther was diligently directing the masterpiece, and as we passed over them I noticed Mary Pickford. Gloria Swanson and many other famous “stars” standing on the side-lines gnashing their pearly teeth and green with envy. evt we entered a warm, luxuriant country where was situated that famous “Little Church Around the Corner.” and 1 saw Ellen Ketchum. a blushing brkle. come walking down the aisle with Harold Hoffer to the tune of “Here Comes the Bride. lu this same country I saw Harold Jackson and Iva Prehn sitting on a rustic bench in an ideal flowered garden bower. Harold had a guitar slung over his shoulder and a book of Hove Lyrics in his hand, while he whispered Sweet Nothings in Iva's ear. It was a pretty sight, but we did not linger. So the carpet bore us to a picturesque suburb called “Honey-Moon Colony.” Among the doll-like cottages I Saw two which were exactly alike and standing side by side. The two little cottages had garends in hack of them which were divided off by a low. white fence covered with morning-glories. Suddenly I was agreeably surprised to see Arline Burgeson and Herminia Blankertz talking, or rather gossiping, to each other over this pleasant barrier. Their kitchen doors, from which issued a pronounced odor of burning cake, were open, but Herminia and Arline were both too interested in their conversation to heed the forthcoming calamity. 1 learned that they had both managed to marry their ideal man. I smiled as we flew on and. seeing one who looked familiar, asked, “Who is that big, fair-haired Adonis over there?” “That individual,” was the reply, “has secured fame throughout the country for his clever and logical book entitled “The Fickleness and Cruelty of Blondes.” It is said that this Leonard Brownless has a thorough understanding of his subject, and in my estimation the book was the outcome of some of his experiences.” I signed and turned my eyes in another direction where, wonders upon wonders. I caught sight of William Switzer speaking before a mob of interested people who surrounded him. Never before in all my travels had I heard such an eloquent hurst of language as issued from his mouth. Ahmed A1 Kamel saw my astonishment and smiled. “Yes,” he said, “so goes the world in which the unexpected is almost hound to happen. That man is the famous soap-box ora- tor of the United States; he advocates the abolition of the lip-stick from the country and he is known to sway vast audiences to his point of view by his remarkable display of rhetoric; why, even the ffappiest of flappers are unwittingly drawn to his banners.” As we passed on I saw Harry Seigle and Leigh Jackson drive past in a high-powered motor. I learned from the sage that Harry was known as a second Ziegfleld and that his bevy of beauties outrivaled all that Ziegfleld ever hoped to direct. I was also made acquainted with the fact that Leigh was a second Paul Whiteman and that he furnished his Jazz Or- chestra to help make the performances of Seigle’s Follies” a howling success. While watching these two old school friends ride from sight I saw a well-tailored and severe looking business woman who was none other than Mildred Scott. While Mildred was in the act of passing into a large office building near-by, a so-called “cake-eater” had the audacity to address her. but to make a long story short, she gave him “one look” that froze the poor wretch, figuratively speaking, into an iceberg. Next I saw Robert Middlewood. well-dressed and debonair, walking down the sidew.alk. Before I could question my companion as to the nature of Bob’s business I received the knowledge that he was the well-dressed man who posed for the collar ads in the newspapers and magazines. Next I saw a stalwart, sun-burned man’s man appear on the scene whom I used to know as Frank McIntyre. There was a “devil-may-care” expression in his eyes as he swaggered down the street with a “come-what-may” air. “He,” said the philosopher, “is what you might call a ‘soldier of fortune.’ He is re- sponsible for the success of all the revolutions in the countries of South America; he is the possessor of hundreds of medals and swords which are the gifts of kings, presidents, em- perors. generals and various other great men. given to him for services rendered; he is. like the stormy petrel, always in the wake of trouble. Wherever there’s intrigue or diplomatic troubles he’s always on the job. Just now he is bound for the Windjammer Islands, for ru- mor has it that another great revolution is brewing in that vicinity.” “How romantic,” said I. “but who are those two good-looking young ladies walking about so excitedly as if they were looking for a needle in a hay-stack”? “Why,” was the answer, “they are Nora Lucas and Edna Eichstedt. who are looking for their ideal man, and if you ask my opinion of their gigantic undertaking I should answer that searching for an ideal is indeed like looking for a needle in a hay-stack. But look who approaches on the horizon,” said he. pointing: to none other than William Stein, “a veritable poll Quixote of modern make who is known for his chivalrous kindness in rescuing: fair dam- sels in distress, and if I am rot mistaken he will undertake to aid your two girl friends in their almost fruitless search.” As we flew on my companion informed me, to my great sorrow, that we were nearing the end of our trip, but that before we landed I could have the opportunity of seeing what had happened to Irene Habicht. Well, I did see Irene trip the light fantastic before a vast and charmed audience, a second Irene Castle, to say the least. While I gazed on this mar- velous spectacle 1 felt myself slipping off of the carpet, and before I could save myself I fell to the ground with a thump, back to the original spot from where 1 had started on that eventful trip with my strange companion, who had now mysteriously disappeared from sight. So. rising from my undignified position on the ground. I continued the none too even tenor of my way while marvelling over the things that had been revealed to me in regard to my schoolmates of the Senior Class of 1924. O All during their High School career the Juniors of 1924 have had one particular thing to their credit, and that one thing is originality. They were the first Sophomore class to combine with a Freshman class in giving a banquet to the High School, an event which has now become annual. However, they are glad to admit that Miss Betts and Mrs. Fletcher deserve the praise for that venture. This year they are at- tempting two more daring enterprises, chief of which is earning money for a Senior trip to Niagara Falls. This is something new in this High School, and they are very earnest in their attempt to make it a “go.” Some progress has been made so far and the campaign for money will be continued next year. The second of these undertakings is the Junior Hop. This, too, is an event new in the annals of Student Activities. Those that attended were very enthusiastic and generous in their praises regarding the en- joyable time which had been shown them. The Juniors planned and carried out a Hallowe’en party for the en- tire student body. The exciting trip through the gymnasium into the prettily decorated auditorium will be a never-forgotten one. Following the custom started by last year’s Juniors, a Junior-Senior party was given by them. From the Junior’s standpoint this occasion was very enjoyable, but to the Seniors it was a “howling” success, with decided emphasis on howling. The Juniors are now looking forward to a prosperous and gratifying Senior year, no longer to entertain but to be entertained. JUNIOR CLASS Tor Dm im e h� TT For i Dsfni T f ose Tjme To (Retire? (HlaHa of 192B When in September, 1923, our school bell tolled, forty-five cheer- ful (?) Sophomores entered the Dearborn High School to combat against the many tasks which they knew would soon confront them. The “Sophs,” beginning to lose the childish simplicity acquired in the Freshman year, realized that their greatest chance of success lay in electing “Deac” for President, Mildred Black for Vice-President, and Mildred Davenport to guard the treasury. The government under these three has been at all times exceptionally good. The “Sophs,” not to be eclipsed by either the Juniors or Seniors, decided to have the first “wiener” roast of the year. Wieners, pickles, frd in fact everything that tends to make a successful roast were there. Although we have been very quiet in the matter of parties com- pared to our Freshman year, we have lost nothing, but instead have gained more wisdom in technical things. We are represented in all athletics and social organizations and we won the pennant for the best booth at the Carnival. We also helped make a success of the second Annual High School Banquet, which was given for the first time in our Freshman year. The rest of the year we spent in trying to secure a place on the Honor Roll and raise the average of the Sophomore Class. SOPHOMORE CLASS (£la Ha nf 1 $27 OFFICERS President, James Scott Vice-President, .. Secretary and Treasurer, Adelaide Check —o — Listen, my children, and you shall hear The hectic tale of a great career. ’Twas the fifth of September, in twenty-three. When the Freshmen entered, and so you see, The High School will never forget that day and year. Nine Months and Three Weeks Later: “C. V. M.” said to the faculty, “If the Freshmen all pass By wisdom or luck, from the High School tonight, Hang a flag from the pole On the old High School tower: White if they pass, Red if they fail, And they, on the opposite street, will quail; Ready to faint or spread the news Whether they win or whether they lose. FRESHMAN CLASS (Eanmrnl The Carnival, which was initiated in 1921 and has since become an annual event, was given in the High School’s Gym and Auditorium in the early part of the school year, listed as the first big event of the High School. The gymnasium was similar to a circus, filled with booths and tents of all descriptions decked out with bunting of every color in the rain- bow. A great deal of ingenuity was used in arranging the booths and “stunts.” After an hour had been pleasantly spent in the gymnasium the crowd was admitted into the auditorium, where they were entertained for an hour by “stunts” performed by the various classes. The Freshmen, proud of the fact that they had mastered the alpha- bet at last, attempted to pass their knowledge on to someone else by representing the letters on the stage; the Sophomores impersonated va- rious advertisements seen in every-day life; the Juniors brought forth the “Family Album,” and the Seniors gave an exhibition of the talent in the class in so far as singing, dancing, and flirting is concerned. Senior Jirnm The Senior Prom, the second of its kind, was given in April in the High School auditorium and pronounced a grand success. A goodly number attended and everyone appeared to be having a good time. Excellent music was furnished by the Millard-Osborne orchestra. Danc- ing began at 8 and lasted until midnight. Pljijfiiral iEituratian The physical training classes are combining work and play to de- velop stronger and healthier bodies. Some days are spent in trapeze work and others in playing games. The girls have quite a notable base- ball team in practice and scheduled some games between the classes. Also some of the girls have been practicing running and jumping and will soon be prepared to compete with the boys. (Un' JJuntrrr The 1924 publication of The Pioneer marks the third anniversary of an annual year book for the Dearborn Public High Schools. When in 1922 the first edition made its appearance among the stu- dents it was hailed as a success, providing as it did, a means by which they might keep in touch with the pleasant memories of their school days through the numerous articles pertaining to organizations and ath- lectic activities, together with the photographs of the same. The suc- cess of the first edition led to making The Pioneer a permanent institu- tion of the school. The publishing and editing of The Pioneer is entrusted to a staff composed of students. The positions on the staff are honorary posts, calling for a high grade in scholastic standings and a recognized ability in journalistic duties. The inaugural number was under the editorship of Gladys Brock- miller and Forrest McGuigan, business manager. The ’23 Pioneer had at its head Zetta Forbes, Betty Pardee, assistant editor, and Martha Putzig, business manager. The present edition is being edited by Frank McIntyre; Lydia Rudolph, assistant editor; Betty Pardee, associate ed- itor, and Henry Wiener, business manager. The name, Pioneer, was adopted from the nickname applied to the athletic teams of the school by the Detroit Free Press. The 1924 staff wish to take this space in expressing their apprecia- tion to Mr. Millard, Miss Betts, Mrs. Gregory and Mrs. Pletcher for the help and suggestions received from them.

(©range an i Hark The Orange and Black is a bi-weekly publication full of student life and humor. % This wide-awake paper has already finished its fourth year. This periodical was started by a few wide-awake students four years ago un- der the supervision of Mr. Millard. Purely honorary at first, it has slowly developed into a journalism class of no mean ability. Members of this class are purely honorary—not all being accorded the privilige of membership. Scholars of high standing are given the preference and the lowest marks possible for membership are B’s. This is a practical course—and the valuable training gained in a class of this kind can not be underrated. Students write it from one end to the other. Advertising is taken care of by students. Students O. K. and reject write-ups. Make-up is given over to the students. This class is training school for newspaper men. You, merely as a student, would be unable to do this. Scholars of ability are given the task to insure its success. Though staff membership is honorary, students of ability along this line are encouraged and given all possible aid in writing contributions to the paper. This is an exclusive Dearborn High School feature. The staff, its advisers, and all aid deserves great credit for the ability in putting forth a school paper that ranks with the best of them. The Orange and Black is a member of the Michigan Interscholastic Associate Press, has a large exchange list and a large circulation for the size of the school staff.

Treasurer An average of 80 per cent is required to become a member, and each member receives % plus credit for taking part in the programs planned for the year. The meetings are held the first Monday evening of each month. These are well attended and an interesting program is given. Mrs. Beeman acts as faculty advisor, and we feel that her help has made this organization successful. Dramatics “The Poor Married Man,” a play given by the High School, was a great success. Proving the uselessness at times of mothers-in-law. Martha Putzig impersonated the affectionate money-seeking mother-in- law, showing remarkable talent. Betty Pardee, as “Zoie,” the fair heroine, won praise of the audience. Alan McLay as “Jup,” a very clever negro servant, although he kept everyone in a happy mood, even when the family was quarreling, breathed a sigh of relief when the bothersome mother-in-law left. Frank McIntyre, as Billy Blake, in the end won his heart’s desire, although he had considerable difficulty in doing so. William Stein as the wise Professor, the victim of the money-seeking widow, finally rid himself of both wife and mother-in-law and made a home for June, the bride of his choice. THE SENIOR PLAY “Under Cover,” the mystery play given by the Seniors, was some- thing quite different from anything that has been given before. A hu- morous strain helped to relieve the anxiety of the audience during the heroine’s attempt to keep her sister from the fate of a prisoner and the attempt of “R. J.” to detect the bribery going on in the government cus- toms office. Margaret Little and Frank McIntyre deserve praise for th'' excellent rendition of the leading parts. The characters were all well chosen and the play was enjoyed by an attentive audience. ©rijanizatiana Each succeeding school year brings with it the realization of the in- creasing importance school organizations hold in the life of the indi- vidual student. These associations, developing slowly but steadily, are among the prime factors that determine the success and standards of a High School. With this fact in mind, one cannot question the truth of the statement that Dearborn High, weighed in the balance, is not found wanting. A short review of the present organizations existing here today, therefore, will show in a measure the work that has been done during the past year in this connection. The Honorary Society, organized last year, is gradually increasing its membership and its purpose in fostering better scholarship among students has been crowned with a degree of success. Le Cercle Francais, with its business and social meetings, has found a great deal of popularity among its members. A study of French men of letters, presentations of French plays and conversational exercises in the French language were among the various activities that were in- dulged in by this group. The Student Council, made up of members from each class, has played an important part in school government. The Literary Society, organized in September, 1922, has been very successful in carrying out the purpose which brougt about its organi- zation.

In order to become a member one must have superior marks. The average must be at least 90 in all subjects for the semester. This society spurs the student on; gives him some more definite thing to work for. He not only has the glory of attaining the goal, but he is presented with a scholarship medal at the end of the second semester. There is a great deal of satisfaction in being able to show such a medal to parents and friends, and it is also a recompense for the long, hard hours spent in study when it would have been so much easier to “do something else.” It is the hope of the students, as well as of the faculty, that during the coming semesters there will be many more members added to the list. The members this semester are two Seniors and three Freshmen: L. Rudolph ........................ Senior 92.8 E. Jahr ......................... Freshman 91.6 E. Smith ........................

You have finished four of the most formative years of your lives; they have been exceedingly won- derful years to you, we know, for they were to us all. But do not look back upon them with regret that they are no more. The future is always a mystery to us, but should not be the cause of fear or dread, for there are many wonderful things ahead, things which will be more atune to your more mature years than high school experiences would be if they were to continue further. Many of us graduated years ago, and it has been of constant interest to us to see our school grow in number of pupils, courses, and buildings. You have had your domestic science, gymnasium, and French courses, as well as special art instruction, as well as many, many other things of which we knew nothing. All of this has been a source of satisfaction to us, for we like to feel that our school is keeping step with the schools of other places. We do not regret that we did not have these things, however, for our high school days were full, happy days, and what we lacked in finish we substituted by ingenuity. Can we ever forget the many innovations for which Mr. Salisbury was responsible? Where could you find a man like him; as ingenious with the hammer as the pen, and as handy with the rake and hoe as the ruler or compasses? Before his time, too, there were other worthy men at the head of our school who should, no doubt, be mentioned here, but they have all gone from us to other fields of endeavor; he alone has remained with us, our friend and inspiration. We hope it will not be out of place to pay a small tribute to him at this time. In the past our Alumni Association has not been the success that we wish it might have been. Many attempts at a permanent organization have been made and several failures have resulted. In June, 1921, however, we had a very suc- cessful meeting. In 1922 we were unfortunate in having a heavy rain on the night of the lawn party we had planned, which doubtless kept many at home. Last year we departed from our usual order and held a banquet in the M. E. Church dining room. There were sixty-four present and we had a real reunion. There was a most delicious dinner, spiced by excellent humor and good fellowship and followed by a program of toasts and songs. All declared it the best yet and plans were partly developed for this year’s affair. Upon looking back at last year’s affair, our only regret was that there were not more of the younger members with us. Nearly half of all our members had graduated within the last five years and most of that number lived in or near town, but not a third of those present were from that number. This is probably true of every Alumni, for things grow dearer to us, no doubt, when surrounded by the dim vale of time; nevertheless, it is a real misfortune to us, for we need the younger members badly. We need their spirit, their accomplishments, their ideas; every- thing else is changing, we must keep up with the times and to do so we need our younger members’ co-operation. And so, my dear Class of 1924, we, the Alumni, tike this opportunity to tell you of our hopes and to impress upon you how much we need you and how great our expectations are for you in the future. —KATHLEEN M. PARR, Sec’y of Alumni Class of 1923. iKrmrut nf Jfnuthall rasmt of The football season cf ’23 might be termed a successful failure. A success when reckoned by spirit and deter- mination, a failure if reckoned by the standard of games won and games lost. The season started off auspiciously enough; several vet- erans from the championship eleven of ’22, together with a host of light, inexperienced material answering the initial call for candidates for varsity practice on Ford Field Sep- tember 7. In the first two contests of the season the Orange and Black were easy victors. Hope for a repetition of last year’s success grew high when the fighting locals, by sheer grit, outplayed and outmaneuverecf the heavy St. Joseph team, which outweighed them 20 pounds to the man. At this time injuries and ineligibility cut inroads into the ranks of the squad. All hopes were blasted. From a team composed of seven veterans the strength dwindled to three. Coach Foy had his woi-k cut out for him, and credit should be given to a director who can and does instill a fighting spirit that never wavers, re- gardless of the score. Much can be said for a team which, regardless of score, weight or opposition, had such morale that it failed to retreat, but fought in defeat as in victory. Every season can not be a winning season, but every season can and should be a success. It is the losing season that makes a fellow appreciate a winning season. It can safely be said that the losing fighting team of ’23, the team that never retreated in victory or defeat, will be long remembered in glories of D. H. S.

S. this season has not been a decided success from the per- centage point of view—but for fight, good will, pep and enthusiasm there has been no season that can equal it. The fact that but few men from last year’s champion basketball team remained on the squad did not hinder Coach Foy from developing a fast going quintet from candidates who answered the inaugural call for basketball practice. The team was light and small—one of the smallest ever put on a court by Dearborn. Regardless of their size, the Dearborn Basketball Team of ’23 before the season was over became one of the best defensive teams in the State. Because of this lack of size they were handicapped on offense, and this feature in their early play remained the weak point throughout the season. Credit, however, is due the entire squad and Coach Foy for their true Dearborn fighting spirit, for their untiring energy and willingness, for their pep and last, but not least, for their ex- cellent sportsmanship. As last year they entered the District Tournament—came through with flying colors in the first game—faltered and were eliminated in the second after giving their opponents a “hard tussle.” Mrs. Pletcher, with but few veterans on the squad, developed a flashy passing offensive team which through lack of defensive strength—a prime factor in girls’ basketball—appeared only mediocre. This year, however, has been merely pre- paratory for next year. The axiom, “Experience is a dear teacher” did not fail in this case, and though gaining the necessary experience the team fell hard.

Our inter-class meet, held as our opening meet, was a big success. In this meet several men were brought to prominence. The class meet was again taken over by the Seniors by the stellar work of W. Switzer, McIntyre, Brownless, Jackson, Stein, Middleworth and Weiner. Following the Seniors came the Sophs, Juniors, Eighth grade and last named Freshman. Follow- ing the inter-class track meet a dual meet was held with the Wayne (both girls and boys) and in this meet Dearborn being successful against Coach Du Long’s “Spike-sters.” After this meet we attended the big meet of the year, and as the Annual goes to print it looks very much like a close battle between Plymouth, Redford and Dearborn. Wayne, Northville and Farmington are also picking up in their track interest. (hirin’ Our girls had no trouble in winning the Suburban League track meet held at Plymouth last year, and they are out working hard to repeat the same feat again this year. With such stars are Losey, Rudolph, McGarvey, Place, Burdeno, Check, Ford, Hoefler, Laflin, Jorgensen and many others, we are looking for them to re- peat. The Freshmen were winners of the inter-class track meet, with Sophs, Juniors and Seniors following in order. Our girls showed up very strong against Wayne in our dual meet, and we hope when the league meet is over that Coach Miss Dickenson and her hard working combination of tracksters will bring home another loving cup and their share of medals. We are expecting big results for several years from our girls’ track squad. (irark Seam First row top: Sloss, Neiiand, Furstenau, Cox, Scott, Young Stein.
