Now the history of the Class of Seven and Twenty of the High School of the City of Dearborn, County of Wayne. State of Michigan, is in this wise: In the beginning, in the three and twentieth year of our Lord in the ninth month, and on the fifth day of the month, there entered into this Land of Learning 90 seekers of knowledge. Now it so happened that this land was ruled over by one known as Cecil Vernon Millard, a ruler of much vision and greatly beloved by every citizen of the land. Freshman and Senior alike; and at the beginning of this year he spake unto them, saying: Go. gather ye in a body and organize yourself into a class, that ye may gain in strength, and that your courage may wax strong! As he spake unto them so was it done, and they selected their wisest ones to be their leaders: James Scott for president, and Adelaide Check for Secre- tary and Treasurer. Chapter II. Now it came to pass at the beginning of the second year that a new band of youths did come up from the adjoining territory, and the Class of Seven and Twenty, in the new dignity of their promotion, remembered the days of their own greenness; and as the Sophomores of their day had done unto them, even so did they do unto these new Freshmen, and did show no mercy unto their sufferings. And as the class did journey through the land, behold, there was a youth who had strayed far from the company with which he had set forth, and was sorrowful. And as the members of the class did look upon him and recognize a leader and an athlete, their hearts were stirred in pity, and did open wide unto him that he should be gathered in. And they set him aside to become a future Football Captain and Speaker of the House. The leaders selected for this year were: President, Ona Wittersheim; Vice President, Fay Nemethy; Secretary'. Edna Smith, and Treasurer, James Scott. Chapter III. And in the third y ear the instructors announced to all the sojourners in the Land of Learning that once more should they band themselves together and take upon themselves the name of a man or woman whose ideals would be their ideals and whose achievements would be reflected in the achievements of the class. And the Class of Twenty and Seven, having thought lengthily and weightily upon the subject, did select as their patron saint the same ( Veil V. Millard, who had first banded them together, and with much pride did call themselves the “House of Millard,” under the leadership of Florence Losev and Fay Nemethy, President; Irving Sisson, Vice President; Edna Smith and Eva Jahr, Secretaries, and James Scott, Treasurer. It was also in this y'ear that the wanderers in the land became tired of their beloved but inadequate lodgings and did repair themselves to a new place of H C PIONEER residence, a place of modern invention, in which they did clatter about as small beans in a great measure. Chapter IN'. Now this the fourth year in the history of this great House of Millard has been one of much hard labor and little resting by the wayside, for the people have been preparing for their final departure from the land. And the leaders for this year were James Scott, President: Faye Nemethy. Vice President: Edna Smith, Secretary: Mary Louise Losev, iieauirer. A great cry went up from the throats of the Class: Lo! if it doth appear that we are to he graduated after many days, there is much need of many dollars to provide the myrrh and frankincense thereof. And is it not Iit that we go on a trip to some far off land of Education in order to prepare us for our departure into the cold world?” Thinking these th tigs, the Class made a feast to which the public was hid- den that money might he brought into the treasury and the coffers be filled. And behold, it did likewise come to pass, a little later, that the Class did de- sire histrionic glory and did present to the people a great play, wherein each did act what he was not. And they did choose to enact. “She Stoops to Con- quer. written long ago by one Oliver Goldsmith, with a cast consisting en- tirely of females. And the day arrived on which they were to take their departure for the land of Washington. And they left accompanied by Miss Amy Betts and Mr. Cecil V. Millard, to see things which the strange land was reputed to con- tain. And one week later they returned full of joy and much knowledge. So the whole number at the end of this fourth year is 45. And it has come to pass that of 90 that entered this land in three and twenty only 45 will de- part, for verily, verily. I say unto you, that broad is the gate, and wide is the way that leadeth to High School and many there be that go in thereat: hut straight is the gate and narrow is the way that leadeth to graduation, and few there he that find it. Four years hath the House of Millard sojourned in the land and gathered the fruits from the Tree of Knowledge. But it is written: In the day when ye shall have eaten of all these fruits, ye shall surely be driven forth from the land.” Now. I say unto you. the must depart hence, to go each a separate way. to lands they know not of; to do. they know not what. THE P I O N E E WEBSTER HALE FIRST ROW: L. Hoerup. M. Hansen, A. Soper, H.

Arnold Soper Vice President ....................................... Helen Yates Secretary . Fletcher Cox Treasurer Charles Munroe At the first of the year the Junior class was divided into two home rooms. Jeanne D’ Arc and Webster Hall. Owing to the small membership in each of these, it was voted to consolidate them into one, Webster Hall, under the guidance of Mrs. Helen Fletcher. The class was well represented in athletics, especially in interclass basket- ball. '1'he junior boys took first honors, while the girls won second place. Early in the beginning of the year we staged a Hallowe’en dance with ex- cellent results. The first annual Junior Bazaar was later held, leaving a tra- ditional activity for the following classes. The Juniors tied for second place for the best decorated booth in the An- nual Carnival. To raise money for our Washington trip next year the Junior boys are col- lecting and selling old newspapers and magazines. With the same end in view the class as a whole presented the first annual Junior Entertainment in March. ■ r £ PIONEER HOUSE OF a )OLIDGE FIRST ROW: H. Thiesen, L. Durham, R. Dapprich, F. Dohn, A.

Vice President Secretary-T reastirer Doris Dean Edwin Jackson Elsie Henrykofsky The Betsy Ross home room has progressed quite extensively in the past year. It has tried to get pictures and other things to decorate the room with which in some way bring out the meaning of Betsy Ross. One thing that this home room can be proud of is a flag made on the same pattern as the one which Betsy Ross first made. This flag was made by several girls. About the middle of December, 1926, the House of Lincoln proposed giv- ing a Sophomore dance, and asked the Betsy Ross home room to help them make it a success. The resulting “Pirate Prance” was the most successful dance of the year. After this dance the House of Lincoln and the Betsy Ross home room combined into one home room under the one name of the House of Lincoln. H E P I O N E E HOUSE OF LINCOLN SITTING: L. Pillsbury R.

Elizabeth Szabo Secretary Louise Nemethy Treasurer Junior Rothfuss The House of Lincoln is part of the class of '29. The name was selected in 1926 and will he carried on until graduation. The motto chosen by the class was Lincoln’s own well known motto: “With malice toward none, and charity toward all.” The aim of this group of students is to sincerely and conscientiously up- hold the principles and ideals of the school and to co-operate with other stu- dents and the faculty. The class colors which were selected during the Freshmen year are green and white. p I 'THE o N E E FL- UAS! IIW,TON MALI. SITTING: S. Schultz, V. Scott, H. McGarvey, A. Showers, VV. Horne, C.

George Borden, Willard Walker, Clyde Ziegler, Kenneth Hoganson, Carl Thiel and Fred Shaw are members of this team. Richard Parker upholds us in basketball, and we were represented in football by George Borden, Fred Shaw and Carl Thiel. Washingtonians feel very proud of the fact that they edited the first home room paper. The name of this is “The Cherry Tree,” and the first edition came out February 15, 1927. We sincerely hope that future Washingtonians will carry on our ideas and traditions. PIONEER- FRANKLIN HALL FIRST ROW: A. Vartarian, F. Woodward, V. Robertson, C. Taylor, R. Sautter, K. Young, M.

Rose Smoger, “Jimmy” Strand, Mylon Sollinger were in the dancing choruses. Rosemary Simpson and Carl Taylor fiddled in the orchestra. One shadow cast on Franklin Hall was the death of Edgar Pert. Usually some gain comes with every loss, and such it is in this case, for two new freshmen later enrolled in Franklin Hall: “Doots” Richard, a former inhabi- tant of Dearborn, and “Abie” Zimmerman from Wayne.

The concession was a reproduction of an Eskimo igloo, the idea and the product of Thomas Johnston and Mr. Leith Wetzel. During the first few months of school, Edison Hall was busy with elec- tions, especially of senators and representatives. Arvilda Merryman and Ed- na Miller received the latter honor, but none of the Edison Hall nominees reached the senate. Although the rest of the year held no outstanding excitement, Edison Hall carried through its routine with spirit and sociability. Its members regret to leave the home room in which they have enjoyed so much valuable fun. HAMILTON IIAIJ. SITTING: H. Hood, C. Bird, R. Black, E. Illossingham, R. Carlton, D. Armstrong, E.

In track Nehi and Jack Calder have already won their letters and are the mainstay of the present team.

Important events of our career include the general seventh and eighth grade party and pot-luck supper in October, the carnival in November, an exchange at Christmas time, and a coasting party in January. The second semester found us more serious minded. Tests covering facts of school life visited us every Thursday. A thrift campaign, a contest be- tween the knights and ladies came next in importance.

But Tommy Reynolds, our athlete bold, with Hazel Maahs, have taken hold To steer us safely through the year. Many a word might we say here About Milton, Hardwick. Proctor, Marion, but space forbids 11s to more than mention ’em. A frolic and pot-luck supper good, which would have pleased bold Robin Hood, W ith the carnival booth did keep us plenty busy, though our motto is “Festina Lente”. Our code, while written on wooden tablets, is up-to-date and proper in habits. And if you ask us what makes us so wise, it’s the Apollo fieze in front of our eyes. SCHOLARSHIP TEAM SITTING: C.

A team comprising the twelve most scholastic students in Dearborn High School will he sent to Mt. Pleasant to enter the scholarship tournament to he held May 20 and 21. A competent and well trained student will he entered in every branch of study and some events will find more than one Dearborn entrant striving for possession of the medals. The team has been very carefully and diligently coached, and hopes have been expressed for the triumphant return with the cup. For we cannot tarry here. We must march, my darlings, we must hear the brunt of danger, We the youthful sinewy races, all the rest on us depend. Pioneers ! O. pioneers ! The Year in Sports In a t'ull account of athletic achievement for 1926-27 every Pioneer varsity, second team and class aggregation finds occasion for pride, and reason for satisfaction for holding unsullied the sportsmanly traditions of Dearborn High. The football varsity and reserves, with the new minor sport of cross-coun- try running, quickened the pulse of D. H. S. in the fall. Despite inexperienced material, the Pioneer grid varsity, led by Capt. Irving Sisson, striking its true stride in mid-season, ended as runners-up in the Suburban league. A 19 to 6 victory over Wayne, the eventual champions, a drubbing to Farmington, and a 1.5 to 15 game with Detroit Northwestern stand out in the season in which the Pioneers scored 85 to their opponents’ 67. Fall sports concluded with the Reserve gridders leading their opponents 104 to 7. and with the cross- country team victors over Pontiac and Redford, while being close losers to Ann Arbor and in the state meet, under the captaincy of Lester Wiener. Pros- pects for next fall appear even rosier, with the election as football captain of Carl Arndt, who with Edgar Proctor, was placed on the All-League eleven. Basketball began most favorably with victories over Cass Tech and Ford- son. Loss of Capt. Edgar Proctor, Irving Sisson and Lynn Engle, through the M. I. A. A. age ruling, prevented the varsity from maintaining its early season form, although it won its share of victories and the district tourna- ment. Richard Parker was elected captain for 1927-28. Much interest was displayed in basketball this year, and, in a stubbornly contested fight, the junior boys and senior girls emerged triumphant. With the spring, baseball and track began activities. The latter is enjoy- ing a strong come-back this season, and the former shows great promise. Baseball is led by J. Stanton; track by E. Hayes, whose teammates have already brought back a cup and several medals from the indoor meets. At the moment it appears that D. H. S. will have a lively and successful spring also in the minor sports of tennis and golf, as well as the major athletics of track and baseball. FOOTBALL VARSITS FIRST ROW: C. Thiel. R. Stanton, G.

Motto: “If you wish to get up in the world, join the Dearborn Aeronautical Club Archibald Hlack, one of the foremost aeronautical authorities in this country, recently stated that the greatest need in aviation was the education of the present younger generation, who will become our future pilots, air- craft manufacturers, and engineers. The Dearborn Aeronautical Club was formed in order to give the boys and girls of Dearborn High School an op- portunity to study aeronautics in a general way, and keep abreast of the rapid progress made in this field. In the near future a Detroit organization plans a national association of these clubs, and the Dearborn Aeronautical Club is one of the first of its kind in the country, if not the first. The extent of the interest shown is demonstrated by the fact that the club has sixty-five members out of a stu- dent body of less than five hundred pupils. PIONEER MATH CLUB FIRST ROW: E.

The Pioneer staff of 1927 wishes at the same time to acknowledge at least a portion of its indebted- ness to others. We desire to thank Mr. William Kronberg of the printing department for many invaluable suggestions and hours of painstaking labor in making The Pioneer of 1927 the typographically artistic book that you see. We would also acknowledge to Alberta Stutsman, William Stein and George Wootton our appreciation of their drawings, the classes decoration, the activities design and the cartoon of famous clubmen, respectively. To Malcolm Slayton we are indebted for earnest effort in providing pic- tures, especially action photographs, for the snapshot pages. A deep obligation is felt toward Kathryn Brown, which will he under- stood upon reading the Senior History, which she wrote. Also we thank Messrs. Frank McIntyre. William Foy and Leith Wetzel for providing the material for The Year in Sports. And, finally, we want heartily to thank Mr. Traubel of Camden. N.

Monroe Blvd. i L j ) PROGRESSIVE EDUCATION IA ODERN education is a matter of keeping abreast of progress. This morn- ’ n8 the means of training youths for life are already a step ahead of where they were when the sun rose yesterday. Tomorrow they must be still farther on. LONG stride it was from the little white school house to an edifice like Dearborn High School with its gymnasium, auditorium and cafeteria, its shiningly equipped laboratories, its humming shops. A great step it was from a few stern pedagogs to a staff of 33 specialists, each attempting to impart the romance and the uses of his subject to a share of some 400 pupils in hour- ly periods once a day. And a mighty advance was it from mere reading, 'rit- ing and rithmetic to the present varied curriculum of courses, preparing either for college, a career in business, or a place in the trades, as ambition may direct. ET “How dull it is to pause, to make an end, to rust unburnished, not ' to shine in use.” This year D. H. S. has attained the highest ranking accorded by the University of Michigan to high schools. It has also gained admittance to the exacting North Central Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges. Not only may its graduates be welcomed by any higher insti- tution in Michigan, but also by any in the Middle West. Every opportunity of equipment, instruction, courses, scholarship—and the guarantee of keeping abreast with the ever-advancing standards of Twentieth Century life and ed- ucation—are offered at the people’s college” of Dearborn— DEARBORN HIGH SCHOOL CECIL V.
