TO Mr. Ernest E. Walborn, whose kindly interest and untiring efforts have done much to advance the cause of education in the Dearborn schools, we dedicate tlrs 1928 issue of the Pioneer as a mark of appreciation and gratitude. Foreword TO crystallize the memories of a happy and profitable year, and to combine those precious crystals in the space of one brief volume, is a difficult task. The Pioneer staff has approached this task with a complete realization of all the elements in- volved, and out of the vast amount of material has endeavored to select for permanent record only those features which are outstanding, and which truly reflect the varying phases of stu- dent life in Dearborn High School. The completed work is placed before its readers with the earnest hope that the staff has succeeded in realizing its aims, and that each passing year will make this volume more precious to its owners, in whatever fields they may adventure.

NINETEEN-TWENTY EIGHT Class History Full many, many moons ago Our seniors were not wise, nd e’en against the sophs, their foe, Thej' knew not how to rise, Till Mr. Wagoner, of that land Took pity on their plight. And joined the poor defenseless band, To teach them how to fight. They sought for one who’d serve them well, To lead in their parade; To Helen Yates the office fell. With Soper as her aid. And now that they had nought to fear, They gave a dance one day. And from the carnival that year The banner took away. As sophomores they were more bold, And their malicious fun Oft made new freshies’ blood run cold, For mercy they showed none. Their leader then was Doris Fryer; Their soph year flowed along. With scarce a thing to raise their ire— Their life was like a song. When juniors, Soper led the gang; He was excelled by none. At dances two their laughter rang. In sports they always won. In fact, they always set the pace. For. at the carnival. They won this time a second place, An honor not too small. As seniors now they’re at their best With Washington in view, They scarcely ever stop to rest. They have so much to do. Their bank account is swelling fair, They watch as it grows; Of dignity they’ve much to spare. Their wisdom overflows. For feeds and fun their fame has spread Throughout the country wide. For Soper still is at their head. With Hal Young at his side. One time they followed drama’s lore. And gave The Goose Hangs High;” And now when graduation’s o’er, They’ll leave us with a sigh.

Its colors are green and white, and its motto is “With malice toward none, with charity for all. The group started the year off in the right way by taking part in as many activities as possible. At the high school carnival, the House of Lin- coln.’ with its log cabin and sturdy pioneers, won first place among the booths. Soon after this a most enjoyable and successful dance was given. During the Christmas season, the class showed its charitable instincts by collecting a sum of money for the unfortunate. A few weeks after the holidays, the organization was successful in hold- ing the best dance of the year. The decorations surpassed any of the affairs previously given. During the autumn, members of the house participated in. “Dulcy”, high school play, and in February they took part in “H. M. S. Pina- fore”, the annual opperetta. The House of Lincoln has also been active in sports. Besides having r boys’ and girls’ basketball team, it also had an interesting indoor baseball team and track team. Several juniors competed in varsity sports. They won the cup awarded in the intramural contest.

It was named after Mr. Millard, principal of the high school, and its motto is “Excelsior.” Its colors are blue and white. The home room started its activities during the year 1927-8 with a helter-skelter initiation of the freshmen. The battle waged fiercely and the honors were divided between the sophs, who lost their precocious dignity, and the frisky freshmen, who certainly were promising scrappers. Following this day of war came the freshmen introduction at which func- tion the sophomores played host, and peace was restored between the parties of the first and second parts. The home room took an active part in the annual carnival. Its booth was successful, financially and otherwise. It also, with Betsy Ross, put on the the winter carnival on Dec. 17. This was a prominent event, with decora- tions in keeping with the Christmas season- 1 he Society Serenaders kept the company stepping gaily until midnight. Of course the room gave a basket to the needy at Christmas time, and on the morning of the day school broke up for the holidays, open house was kept. A partv, with dancing to music furnished by their own orchestra, proved to be a delightful innovation. The House of Millard has a class basketball team for both boys and girls.

They had a home- made candy booth in 1926 and a fish pond in 1927. In a contest between the boys and girls for the payment of dues, the boys won and the girls gave them a hamburger roast on October, 5, 1927. at Ford Field. In scholarship.

The annual freshman frolic, a sucessful event, was given in February. This was the outstanding event of the year. At the carnival in the fall it avc us a fiendish glee to outshine the other home rooms and organizations by having our Chamber of Horrors carry off the prize for the best side show. Consequently we won the prize pennant. We were represented in the Student Council by Senator Thomas Mac- Kenzie and Representatives Jean McKay, Dorothy Sagar and Mary Jane Par- sons. Miss Peters, who heads the group, was elected an honorary member of the Four Horsemen.

The name of the home room was adapted from that of Columbus, the bold and daring discoverer of the new world. It is the hope of the members that they, too. may discover new worlds during their high school careers. The room organized in 1927. They have two Senators who are Dorothy West and Gertrude Penhale, and two Representatives who are Marion Hamilton and Donald Simpson. The room took part in the annual carnival last fall, their contribution being a treasure chest. This was in the form of a pirate chest and was guarded by two boys in true pirate garb. Though but a short time in the high school, the class hopes and expects to build a thriving career and to take an ever increasing part in the life of the school.

Likewise, the aim of this group is success. Although they have been organized but a few months, they have made an attempt to learn some of the things that make life worth while. The motto of this home room is. “If at first you don’t succeed, try. try again”. The colors are red and white, which stand for courage and pur- ity, and have been an inspiration to do better work at all times. The officers of this group are active and progressive, and deserve much credit for the success of the group. Though there are no outstanding feats to record, due to the short time the room has been organized, it is hoped that in time the class will be able to take its place among the most active in the school.

We have done several things to live up to our Roman name. Aside from the frieze of Apollo and his chariot, we have twelve tablets each bearing a law, corresponding to the twelve tables which we make our ideal. As to activities, Ben Hur room has given two wiener roasts for its members. It also took part in the carnival. It has had a coasting party at the Ford Field and a skating party. To celebrate Christmas, gifts were ex- changed. The room had a Christmas tree, a Santa Claus, frost bites ’n every- thing. Ben Hur room has a good academic record and is not far behind in ath- letics. Many students of the room have taken part in the band and orchestra. We have sent flowers to express our sympathy with some of the pupils in whose families death has occurred. Inspired by a talk made in chapel by one of the teachers, the students made out schedules of their study periods and the studies they did during each period.

Roth eight grade home rooms again met for a frolic at Christmas time with a Santa Claus, Christmas tree, presents, frost bites and even white rats. The carnival this year was a great success as far as King Arthur's part was concerned. Earl Lucas starred as judge and Carl Dapprich as head cop. Floyd Levagood was the chief decorator of the jail.

Ten letter men from last year reported. Unfortunately, however, at the start Carl Arndt, captain, was declared ineligible for scholastic rea- sons. Ralph Dapprich. who was chosen to succeed him turned out to be one of the best fighting captains ever selected, which offset that reverse. The next set-back came when Fred Shaw, left halfback, broke his collar bone ten days after school started, which put him out of the game for the season. It took the squad some t ine to gel acquainted with the new director of athletics. Colonel Gillespie, but there was a good spirit from the start, and at the first game which was with Plymouth, the boys won by a score of 19-0. When they went to Wayne, however, they were not so successful. The score was 6-0 in favor of Wayne. Northville, undefeated throughout the season sent the team home with a score of 36-0. Farmington and Ypsilanti-Roosevelt bowed to the Dearborn squad, with respective scores of 7-0 and 20-19. The school finished third in the league. Nine letter men are expected back next year. Carl Thiel has been chosen captain.

From the team that took third place in 1927 race only four members arc available for competition. In this quartette are McKay and Dapprich. They should be the ranking battery in league circles this year, together with Howard Stanton, one of the best hitters of 1927, and Ross Lucas, flashy guardian of third base. A large amount of new material is expected to answer the first call for candidates and with prospect of filling positions the fight should be an interesting one.

It would probably he safe enough to say that very few students outside of the eighteen elected to represent their respective home rooms have more than a vague idea of what it is all about. The duty of the Senate as a whole is to care for the financial affairs of the school, passing on all hills and attending to the paying of them. The Senate must pass on all acts made by the Hi use o’f Representatives, having the power to return them if not to its liking. So far this year the Senate has not passeri any important hills. The ath- letic constitution has been discussed, amended and discussed again, but at this writing has not been passed.

NINETEEN-TWENTY EIGHT ORANGE AND I’,LACK STAKE' Standing Sitting Charles Norris Harry Young Clyde Ziegler Fred Shaw Charles Painter Helen Hoppin Elinore MacKinzie Ellis Martin—Faculty Adviser Evelyn Buferd The Orange and Black started the year by increasing the size of the high school paper and by reducing the subscription price. With the financial condition of the paper firmly established, it has been possible to include features heretofore thought too expensive, and the paper has become not only larger, but more attractive as well. Cooperation with the arts department has resulted in many excellent drawings and linoleum cuts being printed, while the higher classes in English have furnished superior examples of composition, both prose and poetry. The new office of the Orange and Black is located on the first floor, next door, where convenient, to the printing office. Here the grist of news is ground out on the new typwriter acquired this year, and immediately handed in next door, where it is soon placed in type. The aim of the staff this year has been a larger and less expensive paper, and closer connection between the school and the home. It has also at- tempted to unity the school system in a journalistic way, by devoting a page to news notes from the other schools. The accomplishment of these aims however, is not the ultimate purpose of the staff. Evrv year it hopes to de- velop new aims which will advance the paper and the Dearborn school system to higher levels of excellence. THE PIONEER NINETEEN-TWENTY EIGHT DEMATING TEAM Standing Seated Alberta Stutsman Henrietta Howser— Coach Doris Fryer Arnold Soper Edith Thomas— Alternate Although few people were aware of the fact, Dearborn High School had a debating team which was enrolled in the Michigan High School Debating League. Two hundred forty schools throughout the state, supervised by Professor G. E. Densmore of the University of Michigan, met in debate on the question: “Resolved, That the direct primary system of nominating candidates for public office should he abandoned from the United States. The team members, Doris Fryer, Alberta Stutsman, Arnold Soper, and Wil- liam Halpin, worked very hard and conscientiously under the direction of Miss Henrietta Howser. Dearborn upheld the negative side of the question at Ypsilantj, December 8. 1927. Arnold, Doris and Bill were victorious, the judges giving Dearborn a 2-1 decision. The team returned from this battle full of pep and enthusiasm for the rest of the sason. The second debate was won by default, when Dearborn’s opponent was kind enough to drop out of the league. All went well until Christmas vacation, when Dearborn was changed to the affirmative side of the question. Work began anew. Edith Thomas was substituted for William Halpin. The third debate was held at Royal Oak, January 12, where the Dearborn team, composed of Doris, Albert and Arnold, met defeat. The fourth and last debate was held in Dearborn January 27, 1928. It was unfortunate that this was the only league debate held in the city. At this time River Rouge walked away with the laurels. Arnold was not at his best because of heavy outside work and illness. The River Rouge trio was set for the victory. This ended the debating season.

Meeting’ at odd moments, usually before school in the morning, and. as a result, always suffering from lack of full attendance, it was forced to get along as well as it could. Under such circumstances, it is to be wondered that the club accomplished as much as it did. Nevertheless, there was always a good spirit in the club, and the old bodys like to recall the glee club activ- ities of other years. This year for the first time the club has been made part of the regular curriculum, with a daily hour of meeting provided for within the regular school day- three times a week as a separate organization, and twice a week in conjunction with its sister organization, the Girls’ Glee Club. (t is needless to say that the change has meant a great deal to both clubs. Bi the boys’ group. ore of the first evidences of the superiority of the new arrangement was the enthusiastic reception which greeted them in their chapel presentat'on. Throughout the year they have been welcome additions to three programs. The important part they’ took in “H. M. S. Pina- fore. the school operetta, is also a matter of history. The splendid chorus singing which was a feature of this operetta set a standard which future glee clubs will find hard to meet. At this writing the boys are hard at work on their assigned composition for the state contest in May. They have high hopes of making a creditable showing at this contest.

Since September the following work has been accomplished: The War March of the Priests” from Athaliab by Mendelssohn. “Chinese Love Song” from Po Ling and Ming Toy by Friml. “Spanish dance No. 4 by Moskowsky, “Raymond” Overture by Thomas, such light opera selections as High Jinks”, The Fortune Teller” and “The Desert Song” and finally the complete score of the opera “Pinafore which is no mean accomplishment for the average professional orchestra. At present they are at work on “Valse Triste” by Sibelius .“Largo” from Dvorak’s New world symphony and the “Ethiopain Dance” from Delibes’ Sylvia Ballet. There is a remarkable spirit shown in the orchestra; good fellowship, group pride, respect for leaders and aspiration toward leadership which is en- couraged and rewarded as players gain in ability and experience. In 1926-7 we had two members, Rosemary Simpson and Robert Zahnow in the State High School Orchestra and this year we have the following five violinists in the Detroit All City Orchestra: Robert Zahnow, Carl Taylor, Robert Black, Rosemary Simpson and Floyd Levagood.

If you wish to get up in the world, join the Dearborn Aeronautical Club. Archibald Black, one of the foremost aeronautical authorities in this country, recently said that the greatest need in aviation was the education of the present younger generation, which will provide 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 to keep abreast of the rapid progress made in this field. In Detroit a national organization has been formed, known as the Air- plane Model League of America, sponsored by the American Boy Magazine and the Detroit News. This organization now has over fifteen thousand mem- bers throughout the United States and Canada. The extent of the interest shown in the Dearborn Aeronautical Club is demonstrated by the fact that the club has grown from a membership of twenty to over a hundred and fif- ty boys since its organization. Several appropriate pictures have been presented to the club and may be seen on the walls of Room 207. The club aims to follow the new spirit of modern youth, as exemplified by Colonel Charles Lindbergh.

Work was begun on the year book as early as possible, after the staff was named, and a number of time and labor saving devices were employed which made the work move faster this year than ever before. An added con- venience this year was the inclusion of Miss Hines, line arts teacher, in the staff. The labor of supervision was thus divided three-fold, since heretofore there had been but two supervisors, business and literary. Stall members have worked diligently and thoroughly am! a fine spirit of cooperation has made the work unusually pleasant and fruitful. Prepar- ation of the 1928 annual has been a rich experience for all who participated. THE PIONEER NINETEEN-TWENTY EIGHT Autographs THE PIONEER.
