It is still a pioneer, though now its de¬ velopment follows the mod¬ ern trend, and air travel promises to be the coming transportation. It is w i t h this in mind that the theme of the 1930 Pioneer was built around Dearborn’s air indus¬ try. Dearborn has ever been progressive and forward looking in its social, educa¬ tional and industrial life. This book aims to give a cross sec¬ tion of these three elements. Vi ' Tf « ?

In a few years, in fact, within the high school life of a number of our pre¬ sent students, Dearborn High School has grown from a compact, coherent group of 150 students to a school of 700. With this growth has come diver¬ sification of interests of students and teachers. The fine friendships be¬ tween student and student, and between faculty and students have been maintained with increasing difficulty. Individual incentive to excel and teacher guidance and encouragement are alike endanger¬ ed in a growing school. To these problems of growth the attention of our entire school has been centered during this year. With a view to guidance in choice of subjects and vocation each senior high school student is given at least one individual conference during the year at which time a tentative program for the rest of his school work is mapped out in the light of his present hopes and plans. Subsequent conferences will keep his program in time with his growing in¬ terests. But perhaps a greater work has been accomplished in making it pos¬ sible for individuals of varied abilities and interests to work side by side in the same classes and each accomplish his own aim and satisfy his own de¬ sires. This has come about through the increasing interest in experience with individualisation of instruction. In this field our faculty has shown a fine adaptability and great zeal. The number of teachers taking summer school and in-service classes has largely increased and with this additional inspiration has come finer educational practice and results. In promoting social understanding and unity among our students and fa¬ culty our school paper “The Orange and Black’’ and “The Pioneer” are filling a growing need. The intramural athletic program and the clubs also have increased in effectiveness. But perhaps the most significant factor in the growth of our social life is the success of our school parties. These have in¬ creased in both number and popularity. For the first time we have crowded the capacity of our auditorium and with fine orchestras these parties bid fair to be among our most valued traditions. Faculty members, in additin to the professional activity mentioned, have in many cases been connected with community activities as well, and their names are to be found on the rosters of service clubs, dramatic clubs and religious and social groups, thus connecting the community and the school in a closer relationship and breaking down any feeling that the school is an isolated unit. We feel then that this year has been a year of adjustment and growth into our larger responsibilities in a great and growing city. I ' ■ � . NX. . • - THE PIOMEEFC SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS James McLellan, President; Martin Strand, Vice-President; Malcolm Frutchey, Secretary; Roy Soper, Treasurer. Last year’s junior class officers were re-elected this year, although they hold different positions. James McLellan, senior president, was treasurer in his junior year. Martin Strand and Malcolm Frutchey hold the same offices this year as last, Martin vice-president and Malcolm, secretary. Roy Soper, junior president, was elected to the office of treasurer this term. James McLellan has been for two years the most efficient treasurer the school has had. He holds a state cross-country record and has been active in vars ity sports, dramatics and ha c been on the staff of the school publica¬ tions, the Orange and Black and the Pioneer. He also was a member of the debating team and belonged to the Hi-Y Club, and is a member of the Nation¬ al Honor Society. Martin Strand has been on the football and basketball teams, was in the cast of the high school and senior plays and is a member of the Hi-Y Club. Malcolm Frutchey, another member of the National Honor Society, is a member of the high school orchestra, glee club and has taken part in two operettas. He is also a Hi-Y member. Roy Soper, who fin¬ ished successfully the 1930 season as captain of the football team, was on the varsity basketball, baseball and tennis teams. The dependability of these members of the class is certainly proved by their re-election. The boys work well together and under their leadership the class earned the Washington trip fund and was successful in all its under¬ takings. It is believed that this is the first time in the history of the school that the same set of boys has served a class as officers two consecutive years. Three of the boys have been classmates for many years, having come up from the elementarv schools together, while the fourth, James McLellan. came to Dearborn as a freshman. THE P 1 O M E E Fk. .

There were so many promising young freshmen that the class was di¬ vided into three home rooms, Franklin Hall, Edison Hall and Hamilton Hall, the three being under the direction of Louis Meyers, Leith Wetzel and Clar¬ ence Brown, respectively. Rose Smoger was president of Franklin Hall, Mar¬ tin Strand, vice-president, Mildred Sautter, secretary and Mylon Sollinger, treasurer. Edna Miller became president of Edison Flail, Ruby Meyer, vice ' president, Thomas Johnston, secretary, and Isabella Johnston, tr easurer. The officers of Hamilton Hall were Malcolm Frutchey, president, Lola Fauser, vice-president, and Ruth Boldt, secretary-treasurer. During their freshman year, Edison Hall won the silver plaque for the best decorated booth in the 1927 carnival. Many of the boys earned their letters in track during this year, and the girls won the inter-cla,ss basketball championship, while the class was well represented in all the scholarship contests. The following September the class was divided in two groups under the direction of Anne Semans and Clarence Brown. The year started with a lively initiation of the freshmen. Later on the class acted as hosts at the Freshman Reception, and still later gave another dance in the form of a winter carnival. In their junior year, the class elected all boys for their officers, Roy Soper being president, Martin Strand, vice-president, Malcolm Frutchey, treasurer and James Mc- l.ellan, secretary. The J-Ffop was one of the most successful of recent years, and a Christmas bazaar was given as the first effort toward the Washington trip. This year Roy Soper was honored by being elected captain of the basketball team, on which sev¬ eral other juniors distinguished themselves. Lola Fauser sang the leading role in the annual operetta, while those students who went out for (Scholarship distinguished them¬ selves on the honor rolls and at the annual contests. As seniors, the class elected for officers JameiS McLellan, president, Martin Strand, vice-president, Malcolm Frutchey, secretary, and Roy Soper, treasurer. This year James McLellan broke the state record in cross country. George Hilton played the lead in “The Nervous Wreck,” the senior play, which was twice successfully presented in the auditorium. The Washington trip engaged the efforts of most of the 59 seniors who Avorked long and hard for this annual reward of the senior class. During itn course through high school, the class lost three members by death. Edgar Pert died in December, 1927. Richard Waldecker was the next to pas,s away, during his sophomore year. Sigrid Storen, a lively and lovable girl, died after a long illness in December, 1929. Her memory will ever be green in the hearts of her class¬ mates. Several members of the class have been married and out of the throng of fresh¬ men, 59 have survived to graduate, this being the largest class in the history of Dear¬ born High School.

Due to the large enrollment of the present junior class it was neces¬ sary to divide the home room into two groups, the girls under Mrs. Pletcher, and the boys under Mr. Greenland. In school athletics and activities the class of 1931 holds a prominent place. As sophomores they were awarded the trophy for interclass athletics. This year they are tied for the first place with the sophomores and seniors, having won first place in speedball, volleyball and cross country, second place in basketball, and third in indoor baseball. Katherine McGuire and Dorothy Sagar are two of the varsity cheer leaders. Ruth Hensick and George Eyster represented the class on the debating squad. Adams Hall captured the plaque given for the best decorated booth at the 1929 carnival. The year before they were awarded the prize for the best side-show. The J-Hop given in January was the most successful of any given in the history of Dearborn High School, both financially and socially. “The Charm School,” the first junior play to be given by this high school, was successfully put on by this class, Mary Jane Parsons playing the feminine lead, James Currie the male. A bake sale held at the Pioneer Meat Market brought a profit of thirty dollars. This active group of juniors is now devoting all its spare time toward swelling the Washington fund and everyone is looking forward to this annual event, the trip which every senior class enjoys.

The sophomore class has been very successful socially, scholastically, and financially this year. The class was divided in two groups again this year, the girls being under the direction of Mrs. Caris and Mr. Haight acting as sponsor for the boys. High standing in scholarship has been attained throughout the year as the sophomores were well represented on the honor roll as well as having had scholastic members sent to Mt. Pleasant who worthily upheld the repu¬ tation of the class. In athletics, the class has again distinguished itself. Last year the girls won the basketball championship and the boys received high honors in golf. This year the boys received first place in interclass basket¬ ball while the girls placed second. Track and speed ball have also been out¬ standing sports among this group. The class was inducted into its initial year of high school through a complimentary party given by the sophomores. Dearborn Hall also gave a dance at Christmas which was well attended both by students and alumni. One of the greatest accomplishments of the sophomores this year was the successful publishing of an issue of the Orange and Black. Mr. Green¬ land was the faculty adviser in charge of the enterprise. From the progress showed it seems that the weekly paper with the help of these ambitious students will be a great success next year. Not only Michigan students are represented in this class, but there are students from Ohio. Indiana, Missouri, Washington, Wisconsin, Canada, Scotland, and Sweden. t«V ;tvv iV ' VV. ' •? ' • ?

The ninth grade started its first year in high school with all the vigor and vim of true freshmen, the girls having a new adviser. Miss Skoog, and the boys still being under the fine directorship of Mr. Good. In athletics the boys ranked high, winning the interclass baseball as well as the interclass foul shooting championships. At the high school carnival in the fall of the year the boys provided for much of the hilarity of the people by having a very haphazard booth called “Noah’s Ark.” The large membership of the girls’ home room, totaling about 50 stu¬ dents, provides a competition among the students for the fulfilling of class officers and other high positions. This competition seems to give the class courage and determination to win. As a result of their striving they have the honor of being the basketball champions for 1930. The girls have also had the gayetv of freshmen at their meetings by having a tumbling team performance and by playing many games. When carnival time came the girls were in doubt as to what they would enter. After much consideration they decided to have a side show, and after untiring efforts of faithful members of the home room they made it a great success. The annual Freshman Frolic was a big event in the history of the class VA4-xs «v .mw -Vi ' ' .■ ms --: - ' THE PIONEER, SOPHOMORE CLASS (SECOND DIVISION) Kanclt, West, Woehlke. Ten B was organized in 1927. It is the first time in the history of Dear¬ born Higdi School that there has been a large enough group to graduate in January. This year there are 25 members, including the earnest group of officers, under the leadership of Miss Betts. For three years this inbe- tween class has had an active part in as many events as were possible. Each year they entered a booth in the carnival, having had a Treasure Chest in 1927, a Beauty Parlor in 1928 and a Novelty Booth in 1929. Because of the many dances given during the semester, the class was not able to give a Freshman Reception, but hope to give a Sophomore Dance next year. This group is credited with having permanent places on the football, track and baseball squads. Among the foremost athletes are: Kenneth Park- hurst, manager of the basketball team, and also on the football and base¬ ball teams; Jarvis Woehlke. who has places on both the track and football teams, and Cecil Hills and Harold Eicholtz on the baseball team. There are also some promising players on the second football team. A bake sale was sponsored by this class in February at the Pioneer Meat Market, which brought a profit of about ten dollars. This class is represented in the Orchestra, Band and Glee Club ,anh also has a high percentage on the Honor Roll and the Runner-up List. This group, being the only one besides the seniors to have the girls and boys in the same home room, has cooperation and through it has progressed rapidly since its organization.

The eighth grade has two of the largest home rooms, the girls’ ad¬ viser being Miss Jorgensen, and the boys being under the direction of Mr. Cook. Having learned parliamentary procedure, they now conduct their meetings accordingly. The boys, because of order in their meeting, have made many accom¬ plishments this year. Niel Wilkie and Jack Earl are classed as two suc¬ cessful program chairmen, having provided entertainment throughout the year. Neil sponsored an interesting program dealing mainly with magic. Besides musical programs in the home room, Mr. Cook has given several valuable talks, his last topic being “Preparing for College.” In sports the boys won the volleyball and soccer championship of the junior high school and in basketball they placed second. Much credit is due the athletic manager, Frank Koppitsch. At the high school carnival in the fall, Byrd Hall entered “The Mvstery House,” a booth that caused much excitement and laughter. The girls have the honor of being first on the list for having the least number of tardinesses for last semester. They were also high on the list in their attendance. Musical programs have likewise been the type of entertainment for the girls. They had recitations, violin, viola and cello solos. The home room gave in chapel an original dramatization of a play entitled “The Girls’ Boarding House.” A program consisting of readings, and musical selections was also successfully put on in chapel by members from both home rooms. With such a splendid record in two years, the future of this class is very promising. •� � .-. if... •.• ' vm - r •«� :- •«• w. THE P l O W E E _ ' . � . ' «: ' VA ' ii.

The initial year of this group of students, the girls under the super¬ vision of Miss Bunge, and the boys under the direction of Mr. Duke, was devoted to learning parliamentary procedure. Judging from their exception¬ al work they have spent their time profitably. A tumbling team composed of Woodrow Bannister, Miland Layer, Har¬ ry Bartel and George Levagood, gave a performance which was one of the major entertainments at the boys’ home room meetings. Mr. Duke also gave several interesting talks of a biological nature. Besides speeches, talks and games, William Brewer, president, told many stories and jokes to the great amusement of all. Th girls, besides their business meetings, have had several musical pro¬ grams. Using the system of appointing students to plan the program for the next month, every meeting of this class has been made a decided suc¬ cess. Betty Alderdyce and Eleanor Krumling showed their ability to sing popular songs, especially “My Sweeter Than Sweet,’’ at one of the meet¬ ings. Other talented students have sung songs and have given recitations and readings. The representatives, Irene Koehler, Betty Alderdyce and Gladys Hill, and the senator, Ivah Lewis, gave a very accurate account of their visit to the Fordson high school. Miss Bunge has found it a wise plan to read at each meeting the num¬ ber of absences and tardinesses. mm THE PIOMEEP . FOOTBALL Back Row: Black, Earl, Miller, Ross, Huss, Hansen, Woodburn, Villaire, Morris, Parkhurst.

The 1929 football season, while not a complete success, was neverthe¬ less quite satisfactory to the Pioneer fans. Out of a total of nine games the team won six and lost three. However, two of the contests were ex¬ tremely close ahd the other defeat had no bearing upon either the city or league title. The first annual Thanksgiving day football classic was held with Ford- son on the latter’s gridiron for the city championship. Dearborn came out on the short end of the 19 to 6 score, but the game was a bitter battle from whistle to whistle. Wilson, the Pioneer fullback, scored Dearborn’s solitary touchdown on a line plunge. Nor were the Orange and Black successful in capturing the league hon¬ ors. Although they defeated Plymouth, Northville, Farmington and Ypsilanti Roosevelt, they dropped a 6 to 0 game to Wayne and had to be content with second place. Wayne swept through its league schedule undefeated and thus annexed the coveted trophy. The Pioneers were able to trounce Rochester and Lincoln Park by the score of 7 to 0 in each game, but in their other contest with River Rouge they lost, 34 to 0. Captain Soper at quarterback, Hansen and Lucas at ends and Captain- Elect Villaire at guard were Dearborn’s All-League players. THE l oTi E E S CLASS LEADERS Back: Wilson, Johnston, Aldrich, Calder, Bryant, Bartel, Kohler, Rese, Simonds, Earl, Oldenberg. Middle: Bargert. Fisher, Moore, Stacey, Wyman, Sollinger, Strand, Schmidt, Rothfuss, Lewis, McEachern. Front: Ebling, Hagelthorne, Laird, Durham, Soper. Soper, Penhale, Levagood, Nichols. The class leaders compose a physical education group which was organ¬ ized in the fall of 1927 for the purpose of developing leaders in the gym¬ nasium classes and to further develop the gymnastic ability of the leaders themselves. The system worked out so well and the boys and Mr. Gillespie were so enthusiastic about it that an identical system was employed in Mrs. Smith’s classes for the girls. The class instructor chooses the leaders on the basis of special ability for apparatus work, leadership, dependability, interest, cleanliness, and in¬ dustry. The leaders meet in a special evening class with the instructor one night a week. At these sessions they are taught work on the mats, horse, parallel and horizontal bars, The knowledge and practice gained is then car¬ ried on to the daily gym classes where each leader is assigned to a group of boys for the purpose of teaching them what he has learned. This system teaches practical leadership and the boys get more out of their classes than if they were taught as a group by a single instructor. This year a contest has been established to pick the best class leader among the boys and girls. The best class leader in each class is selected by the class leaders themselves, the selection being based on ability, industry, leadership, attendance, advancement, knowledge of rules, responsibility, wil¬ lingness and deportment. The best of these three boy leaders is to be selected by Mr. McIntyre, and the best among the three girls by Mrs. Smith. The two winners will receive permanent loving cups. THE PIOMEEB- � .- - . BASKETBALL i Back Row: Soper, Hansen, Kandt, Hagelthorne, Wilson, McLellan. Front Row: Smith, Gearhart, Parkhurst, Krusell. Although not winning the league title in basketball this season, the Pioneer cage men had one of the best records in recent years. They accomplished this record by virtue of their outstanding victories over outside teams, both during the regular schedule and in state competition. The team was far from consistent, winning from strong foes one week and losing to weak adversaries the next. But taking the season as a whole the Orange and Black colors were never disgraced. The league schedule was rather disappointing, Dearborn dropping two games to Wayne, Class C regional winner and State semi-finalist, and a game apiece to Plymouth and Farmington. However they finished the year in second place with six victories and four defeats. Dearborn showed up much better against stronger competition, win¬ ning from Redford, Coldwater, University of Michigan High School, and River Rouge. In the previous year all of these teams expect River Rouge had administered defeats to the Pioneers. Coldwater later won the Regional championship and went to the State tournament. They dropped their only game of the year to Dearborn. However, Deajrborn lost in other outside games to Redford, Fordson twice, and Adrian. Dearborn placed second in the district championship to Fordson. Both teams went to the Regional and were eliminated in the semi-finals, Dear¬ born by Adrian and Fordson by Coldwater. Thus ended a strong year. Letters were awarded to Capt. Gearhart, Capt.-Elect Kandt, Monroe Wilson, James McLellan, Eric Hagelthorn, Sterling Smith, Melbourne Lake, and Don Krusell. THE P I O M E E Fs BASKETBALL (RESERVES) Zick, Smith, Ellstrom, Sollinger, Newell, Black, Earle. The second team enjoyed one of its best seasons. Out of a total of 16 contests they won 13 and dropped three. The three they lost were to Redford, Wayne, and Fordson. The Wayne defeat was their only league loss and so the mythical championship for the Suburban League second teams can be awarded to the Pioneers. This year’s team was composed mainly of small fast men. Their brand of offense was swift and sure and their five-man defense was accurate and complete. The games they did lose were by small margins after tough bat¬ tles and so much credit is due them. At one time in the middle of the season they had stretched their winning streak to nine straight games before they lost a close one to Fordson reserves. Such a record is to be admired and envied. Their first game of the year was with the Redford seconds in the Dear¬ born gym. Redford lost by a ten point margin. The Pioneer reserves then journeyed to Redford the next week and lost a heartbreaker to them. They also lost their next start to Wayne by a small margin. That was their last defeat for a long time. In their next nine games they won decisively from the second teams of Belleville, Coldwater, Plymouth, Farmington, Northville, Wayne, Belleville again, U. of M. High School, and Plymouth again. Then they dropped one to Fordson. After that they finished the season in a final blaze of strength by victories over Farmington and Northville. They also won a post-season contest with the Dearborn Merchants. .X. w-vvi■ -’� THE PIOKEEK. BOYS ' INTERCLASS BASKETBALL CHAMPS Lucas, It. Higgs, Hayes, Parkhurst, Woehlke. The struggle for interclass basketball superemacy this season was the strongest in recent years. All of the grades entered teams and com¬ petition was always fast and hard. The sophomores, ultimate winners of the championship, certainly had to work for their honors. Only after a long hard season did they finally end up at the top of the heap. The team that rep¬ resented them in most of their battles was composed of Ross Lucas, Jarvis Woehlke, Kenneth Parkhurst, Richard Higgs, Cleveland Hayes, and Neroy Anson. The interclaiss basketball games this year were interesting both to the spectators and the players themselves. The fun of the game as well a,s the glory of the class were all factors in fine sportsmanship showed at these contests. There is no question but that many of. the boys competing had never been actively engaged in any sport before and that they enjoyed the games well for that reason. In some of the games where older boys were opposed to the small¬ er fellows, the larger ones would spot the youngsters points in order to help their total score for the game and give them more of a chance. This donation would materially increase the interest in the game as it would make it more of a contest and give the younger players a fighting chance. While the older fellows invariably won, it is a matter of record that in one or two games the smaller team actually came off the floor victors due to the fact that the larger team had spotted them too large a margin. But that just helped along the interest of the games. ‘NWt. ' WS r i0 i w itv -X •. ' ■. ' V.‘Wy’� ' ' tW T H E P T O K E K GIRLS’ INTERCLASS BASKETBALL CHAMPS Hansen, Moon, Simmons, Ford, Maples, Stacey, Lewis, Fisher, Fllicott. The girls’ interclass basketball championship was won by the freshmen again this year. This makes the fourth successive year that the shield and medals have been given to the freshmen. The first game that the ninth grade played was with the tenth grade. They lost by a small score. This did not discourage them. Instead they worked harder than ever to get their signals, passes and free throws better and they certainly were successful because they won the rest of the games that they played. Toward the end of the season the tenth grade also lost a game and at the close of the basketball season the freshmen and sophomores were tied for first place. This tie game was played and proved to be the snappiest game of the year. When the final gong was sounded the freshmen were one basket ahead with a score of 13 to 11. Irene Hansen was an exceptionally good forward for her teaim, making thirty-two field goals and seven free shots during the season while Edith Ellicot was next high with seven field goals. Each member of the team and each substitute who played in at least three games was given a bronze medal. The shield bearing the names of these players hangs in the gym where all may see it. It is of a brilliant orange color lettered in black and each member of the team may well be proud of the fact that her name is upon this shield of honor. vS .-c H ;- ' .—. f n%r Va -X ' -- MCivvff v.-v- - -vJmw v:.

Middle Row : Lamke, Taft, Humphrey, Parrish, Lukens, Reese, Taylor, McLellan. Front Row: Brown, Hayes, Shepard, Emery, Sutherland, Johnson. Track had another successful season last year with victories in the League, Regional, and Fordson Invitational meets, and runner up in the state to Niles. Places were taken in both the indoor and outdoor Midwestern meets held at the University of Michigan. Dearborn also defeated Redford. the highly touted Detroit team, and held victories over all the League. Edwin Jackson, captain, hurdler, 220 yard man and broad jumper; Carl Thiel, giant shot putter, discus and javelin thrower, and Fred Shaw, low hurdler and sprinter formed the back-bone of the team. These three men could always be counted on and between them accounted for more than half of the team’s total points. They were sent to the national meet in Chicago and made a very creditable showing. Although Jackson put up his usual performance in the broad jump he fell back in the high hurdles and failed to place in either. Shaw drew the fastest heat in the low hurdles and was eliminated and although Thiel threw the javelin 165 feet and the discus 125 they were not far enough to place. Harry Hansen was elected captain for 1930. He will very ably fill Thiel’s place and in addition can high jump and pole vault, holding the league record in both. Eric Hagelthorn. half miler, will probably be taken out of this event and used in the hurdles, javelin and high jump. McLellan and Hayes, milers, Wilson, Woehlke and Gearhart in the field events and Hum¬ phry, a dash man, are the mainstays of the present team. THE PIONEER CROSS COUNTRY Back Row: Wetzel (coach), Newell, Hagelthorne, Anson. Front Row: Emery, McLellan, McGuire, Mayes. Of all the athletic activities in Dearborn High School, the cross country team has made the best record. Out of the four years since the sport was introduced here. Dearborn has won three consecutive state championships and the prospect of stretching the string of victories td four is very bright. This last year Dearborn had an exceptionally fine team. All six men on the first team were members of the previous year’s squad. Cleveland Hayes, who was elected Captain, ran consistently among the leaders. James McLellan, captain of the year before, set pace for the squad and usually managed to keep the lead. Eric Hagelthorn, captain-elect, always ran well although remarks about the unfair advantage of long legs were often heard. Bernard McGuire, Kenneth Emery and Philip Ne-well fought it out all season and they were rewarded with letters. The outlook for 1931 is good as all but two men will be back. There are McClellan and Newell. The important meets won were the city meet at Fordson, the regional at Fordson and the state meet at Ypsilanti which was won with 29, the low¬ est score in class B history. James McClellan took first place, establishing a new record for the two mile course, Hayes following in second place. Hagel¬ thorne was fifth. McGuire ninth and Emery twelfth. v Vl ' ■■•.■� ■ so;: V« t h e ” P I O W E E Ps. BASEBALL Back Row: Bowen, Worden, Havenstein, Tegge, Lucas, Sollinger, Bahn, Hell, Malvitz, Charney, H. Smith, Casteel. Middle Row: Schneider, Kandt, Pardo, Zick, Vartanian, Young, Black, Merritt, Losey, Front Row: Parkhurst, Petersen, Schroeder, Durham, Aldrich, Roeser, Zimmerman. With nine letter men back and a scjnad of 40 trying for positions on the first nine, the prospects of a successful year were good. The letter men are Elmer Havenstein, pitcher; Robert Bahn, first base; Dali Hutchin¬ son, Earl Lucas, Murray Merritt, Cecil Hills and Kenneth Parkhurst, all in the outfield. Melbourne Lake aind Ross Lucas, catcher and pitcher on the team of two years ago, are back and will probably make up the battery. Be¬ cause of the fact that the captain, Richard Anson, had to leave school, a new captain was elected and Lucas received that honor. Among- the new men who looked promising and who saw service are Mylon Sollinger at first base, David Kandt, second base ; George Worden, short stop, and Clarence Hunt, second base. Ross Lucas can also play third base and played that position part of the time. Mention must be made of Morris Earle, manager, who is doing a very good job. It was thought at the end of the season last year that baseball was a declining- sport, but from the outlook this year it seems to be the opposite in Dearborn. With the coming of Belleville into the league last fa,?l and the entry of Lincoln Park this spring the schedule had to be increased. Games are scheduled with both Fordson and Redford, schools which were defeated last year, and both contests were good as both Lordson and Redford have always been bitter rivals of Dearborn on the athletic field. THE P 1 O H E E FU GIRLS’ TUMBLING TEAM Ingersoll, Zook, Miles, Fitzwallace, Allen, Bleil, Cramer, Dawson, Eglestone, Martin (top), Parsons, Moon, Miller. Until recently not much attention ha‘ been given to tumbling for girls but it is being recognized as a valuable activity and each year interest is increasing and better teams are developed. Tumbling brings out suppleness rather than strength as the back, abdominal and shoulder muscles are all brought equally into use and there is an all around development of the bod y. Not only physically but psychologically tumbling is invaluable to the pupil as its accomplishments appeal to every active girl and there results from the physical ability to do sucessfully the feats an exhilaration, a self-satisfaction, and pride that not another gymnastic activity produces. It develops courage and initiative, perseverance and self-respect and one finds happiness pre¬ vailing as the result of a spontaneous activity. The team this year is composed of upper classmen who have advanced very rapidly. At the annual high school carnival in November, the team gave its first public demonstration. The girls were dressed in bright orange romper suits, and presented a ten minute program of difficult pyramids. The second appearance was in January when the team put on a chapel program for the senior high school. Each member of the team is proud of her ac¬ complishments. Mrs. Smith directs the activities of this group, and has done so for several years. The pyramid represented in the above picture is especially difficult, and the girls found it hard to hold the pose long enough for the picture to be taken. THE P I O M E E Pw QUILL AND SCROLL Back Row: Bryant, Martin (Adviser), Pcnhnie. Front Row: Keen, Black, Parsons. The Quill and Scroll is an international honorary society for high school journalists. It was founded by several of the outstanding newspaper lead¬ ers of the United States, to reward good creative writing in the high school. The organization is much on the order of the National Honor Society but is judged on the basis of journalism and scholarship only. This is the first year that Dearborn High School has had a chapter of the Quill and Scroll and its first five members, all juniors, were initiated into the organization in March. Mr. Hood gave an address in senior high chapel compimenting the students on their work and presented them with membership pins. The members are chosen for their outstanding work in journalism. They must be either juniors or seniors in high school, must be in the upper third of their class in scholarship, and be recommended by their adviser. Their work is sent in to the headquarters of the society and if approved, the students are made members. Dr. George H. Gallup, the national secretary-treasurer, after judging the samples of the work which were sent in, wrote: “I am sure those young jour¬ nalists are quite deserving of Quill and Scroll membership. Their work is of very high quality and their recommendations are perfectly satisfactory There must be a great deal of interest in journalism in your school.” Initiation for newly elected members will be held twice a year. Mr. Martin, Orange and Black adviser, is the adviser of this chapter of the Quill and Scroll. THE P VV � k ' ■ � ' l + � ! • ' ■ Vfe - ' V r.

Front Row: Derr, Howser (coach), McLellan. The proposition for debate in the high schools throughout the state was “Resolved: That a Judge or Board of Judges Should be Substituted for our Present Jury System in All State and Municipal Courts of Michigan.” Dearborn High School’s debating teams were not conspicuous by the brilliant successes which they brought to the school. The negative team, composed of Helen Derr, Ruth Hensick and George Eyster, was victorious over Plymouth, while the other preliminary league debates were lost to Riv¬ er Rouge, Ann Arbor and Birmingham. The Dearborn negative team enter¬ tained Plymouth and the affirmative team was host to Birmingham. The other two debates were at River Rouge and Ann Arbor, respectively. Had Dearborn’s record been closed with the four league debates little would have been accomplished. However, during the semester a total of fifteen debates was held. Every member of the squad was given the experience of debating in at least three debates with other schools. Many afternoons teams travelled to neighboring communities for practice debates. During the term Dearborn had two practices with Fordson, three with Red- ford, three with Royal Oak and one each with River Rouge, Detroit North¬ ern and Northwestern. These practices are of equal importance with the league debates as far as the benefits to the students are concerned. Honorable mention should be made for the superior attainments of Mal¬ colm Frutchey and Ruth Hensick, and with two such brilliant and experi¬ enced debaters as Helen Derr and Ruth Hensick the team of next year should bring honors to Dearborn High. .++ ' the piojntee:p GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB Back Row: Eglestone, Wessinger, McDonald, Dates, Fauser.

Johnston, Par- This year’s Girls’ Glee club is an unusual one in that it started out com¬ posed almost entirely of unexperienced girls. Only four of the members had seen experience in former years. However the new material was pronounced above the average by Miss McManus, faculty adviser, at the beginning of the year and the girls have shown decided progress in their work. I he Girls Glee Club took first place in the preliminaries of the state con¬ test last year and is entering the contest again this year. They will compete with other schools in the mixed chorus contest, the mixed chorus being- made o up of the boys’ and girls’ glee clubs combined. They will also compete as a girls’ club alone, and will have part in the Dearborn High School musical con¬ cert in the spring. The girls are under the direction of Miss McManus, the director of for¬ mer years, and Miss Halsey, a new teacher in the high school this year. The following officers were elected by the girls at the first of the year’: Isabella Johnston, president ; Iola Morningstar, librarian ; and Mary Jane Parsons, sec¬ retary. The mixed chorus meets twice a week under the direction of Mr. Greenland, the boys instructor, and the other three davs the clubs meet sep¬ arately. 1 he girls declare they enjoy the work and have received much ben- el it from it, and many of them are planning to join the ranks of singing again next year. ’•as ’ THE P ;-«wv4t � ¥ + •� tfV l O M E E Ps. BOYS’ GLEE CLUB Back Row: McGarvey, Strand, Gearhart, Huss, Paeschke, Henderson. Front Row: Sollinger, Frutchey, Greenland (Director) Trevarrow, Tegge. With Mr. Greenland directing, the Boys’ Glee Club completed one of the most successful seasons in its history. It gave several public perfor¬ mances and to climax the season participated in the spring concert with the Girls’ Glee Club and orchestra and entered the state music contest. At the beginning of the year the boys organized as a regular club with officers who served throughout the year. At the same time a cjuartet, con¬ sisting of Hazen McGarvey and James Trevarrow, first and second tenors, Martin Strand, first bass and George Gearhart, second bass, was formed. The cjuartet made several successful appearances at informal contests. The first public appearance of the glee club was at the annual fall meet¬ ing of the Wayne County League of Junior Voters. They next sang at the dedication of the Henry Ford School in Fordson. The latter program was especially pleasing to all who were in the audience. The club also sang at two of the fall assembly programs and at two during the winter. A mid¬ season party was given them at the home of Martin Strand and by request the Sieberling Singers sang a special number, “Trees”, for the boys. That enjoyable occasion was heartily appreciated and enjoyed. Although most of this year’s club are seniors, quite a nucleus of mem¬ bers are left for next year’s work. Mr. Greenland will undoubtedly lead the club again and another successful season is expected. r V -. ■ «, J� . • 4 • � .

The high school band is an important part of the musical training offered by the school. Organized in 1927 by Leith Wetzel, the band made the best progress it could under his leadership, but with math classes to teach as well, Mr. Wetzel was unable to devote as much time to music as was necessary, so Mr. Tiefenthal, the present leader , was engaged and entered upon his duties in the fall of 1927. Since then this group has made much progress, and in attractive uniforms, plays at many of the school func¬ tions, such as athletic games and chapel programs. This past year the band has played at all the home football games, and although the weather on Thanksgiving day was extremely cold, members played valiantly at the game with Fordson. The band also took part in the All-Dearborn Memorial Day parade, afterward marching to Northview cemetery for the memorial serv¬ ices there. This year new equipment was secured, in the shape of new horns and drums, increasing the efficiency of the group considerably. Mr. Tiefenthal spends much time on this important musical group, and as a result, it repre¬ sents the school in a gratifying manner. Girls as well as boys may become members, but the boys are in the majority and will probably continue to make up the greater part of the band. Each year the group takes part in the music contests at Ypsilanti. It also plays for various events in the community, and sometimes for high school plays. A steadily increasing interest in the organization, and a grad¬ ual building up of the band from its recent beginning, are noticeable. In time it is hoped that Dearborn will have one of the best high school bands in the state.

The high school orchestra has had a busy and successful year under the direction of Miss McManus, both in advancing the musical standards of the school, and in preparing to send representatives to the National Music Camp, following the custom established last year when Hazen McGarvey was chosen for this honor. Three representatives were chosen this year, Robert Black and Robert Zahnow, violins, and Mary Reinhart, flute. When the National Orchestra made its eastern trip in February, Hazen McGarvey accompanied it, while Miss McManus acted as hostess for the group. The Orchestra played in several large cities. At the preliminary high school music contest for class B schools of Southeastern Michigan, Dearborn’s orchest ra placed second, being defeated only by the national champion, Mt. Clemens. Considering that the orchestra is but six years old, this is an achievement worth mentioning. At this writ¬ ing, the group is preparing for the district contest, and high hopes are enter¬ tained for a good place. The instrumentation of the orchestra includes at present eight violins, three violas, three cellos, three string basses, one flute, three clari¬ nets, one bassoon, two trumpets, two French horns, two trombones, one tuba, four percussion and one accompanist. Miss McManus asked a number of the service clubs and other groups of the community this year to help raise the fund for the music camp scholar¬ ships, and met with a gratifying response from a number of them. The or¬ chestra members themselves helped in many ways to make the project a success. THE plokee:p • v; ' . .

Front Row: Frutchey, Huss, Wheeler, Strand, McKay, Henderson, Sturtz (Coach). An all-star cast presenting “Seventeen,” the all-school play, in the Dearborn High School auditorium the evening of October 24, added new laurels to the histrionic achievement of each talented member of the cast. The play, a four act comedy by Booth Tarkington, was a( success in every sense of the word. Much of the success can be attributed to the able way in which Miss Sturtz, a new director of plays in the school and a new teacher, brought the performers into line. Much also was due to the fine cooperation and interest displayed by the cast and all the students connected with the school. Four classes were represented, the seniors contributing more than half of the cast. “Seventeen,” a story of a seventeen year old boy his love affair, fun and worries, made an ideal high school play; one which many knew but one that everyone was eager to see. The leads were taken by Ileta Johnson and Martin Strand who por¬ trayed their parts fully as well as professionals and with the help of the rest of the cast, who were equally as pleasing, kept the big audience in hilarious laughter. The auditorium was packed to the limit in spite of the bad weather and the evening was considered well worth all the efforts put forth towalrd it. Mr. Vanek, Spencer Wilkie, Monroe Wilson, Austin Simonds, Norman Henderson, and Rose Smoger were responsible for the stage proper¬ ties. The music was furnished by the high school orchestra under the direc¬ tion of Miss McManus. THE P I O M E E P , SENIOR PLAY Back Row: McLellan, Frutchey, Strand, Sollinger, Gearhart, Wilson, Henderson, Black. Front Row: Wright, Zoock, Simpson. The senior play was this year under the direction of Miss Muriel Sturtz, English and drama teacher who joined the faculty in September. For this annual production, Owen Davis’s “The Nervous Wreck” was chosen, and the general opinion was that the performance in no way fell b elow the stand¬ ard set by previous senior classes. George Hilton, with the leading role, did exceptionally good work, with Rosemary Simpson playing opposite. The supporting cast, though portray¬ ing lesser roles, was excellent, and the combined efforts of all kept the audi¬ ences amused throughout the entire performances. As a new feature this year, two performances were scheduled, one in the afternoon, chiefly for high school students, the other in the evening for adults. In this way the limitations of the auditorium were overcome, and the earlier production enabled the actors to improve their technique where necessary. There was also some financial gain. Special scenery was needed for the play, and to meet its require¬ ments, arts students set to work and produced two artistic sets which were admired very much. Norman Henderson painted the back drop, a typical western scene, while the interior was cleverly done by Helen Zimmerman, it representing the interior of a log ranch house. Rose Smoger, chairman of the properties committee, assisted by Edna Miller and Roy Soper, as¬ sembled the numerous properties with care and good taste, while Evelyn Wright acted as prompter, this being the first year a student has acted in this capacity. The play this year represented a complete student production more closely than ever before, considering the building of scenery, prompting and other details. Financially it added a neat sum to the Washington fund. w- • � ••� ;• , .VV k w ' fcMfc THE PiOMEEP ' • ' � • •■ n w � w.-1 • v • r � ; ' ■ww -••• ' -«-v. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Frutchey, Simpson, Merryman, Miller, McLellan. At the final honor assembly last year two students, Edna Miller and Arvilda Merryman, having been chosen by a vote of the faculty as the out¬ standing students of the present senior class in character, scholarship, leader¬ ship and service, were initiated into the National Honor Society for Second¬ ary Schools. The program, a special ritual service used but once a year is one of dignity, beauty and impressiveness and showed to the entire student body the honor of election to the society. When, at the middle of this year it was again time to hold an initiation, the election committee, composed of five members of the faculty, chose Mal¬ colm Frutchey, Rosemary Simpson and James McLellan for membership. A musical reading by Edna Miller, accompanied on the piano by Miss Mc¬ Manus, formed part of the program. Mr. Adams made the presentation speech, complimenting the new members. This year the school chapter of the society was donated a plaque in¬ scribed with the emblem of the national society by the Orange and Black staff. It is made of bronze on a hard wood base. The local chapter has been organized for three years and has now a total of fifteen members with the June election yet to be held this year. At that time five percent of the junior class and five percent of the senior class will be admitted. All students who stand in the upper third of the class scholasticly are eligible for election. THE PIOKEEP JANITORS’ STAFF Back Row: Burt, Merryman, Hensch, Burt, Barrows Front Row: Jordan, Johnston, McGowan, Macpherson. In all the history of the high school this is the first time that a pic¬ ture of the custodian staff has been used in the year book. This small staff makes it possible for Dearborn High to maintain a reputation of being one of the cleanest schools in the city. The three women and three of the men, Donald Jordan, Mr. Burt and Mr. Barrows are directly responsible for the cleaning of the school, but the duty of keeping the building at the correct and even temperature belongs to Jock and Charlie. These two people are almost never seen around school and are not known to the students in general. Mr. Johnston is the chief engineer or head of the custodian staff of all the schools in the district. Few students realize or notice when they return to school after a vacation that all the floors in the sixty rooms and the three corridors have been scrubbed and waxed, every one of the twelve hundred chairs and every table moved and all the lights, windows and desks washed. Of course the boards are washed every day and each floor is swept. The gym, audi¬ torium and showers are kept in order by Mr. Burt. He must keep the floor of the gym in perfect condition for basketball games and ordinary classes. The chairs in the auditorium must be placed for each assembly and removed for every dance. Each member of the staff deserves much credit for his part in the neces¬ sary work and it is really remarkable that so small a staff can do all its work so efficiently and without interfering with classes or scarcely being seen at all. .•£■ ' • ’ -— ' .■ 1-+ r • ■-■■ n— ♦ .

Middle Row: Owen, Davis, Bryant, Haigh, Stutsman, McEachern, Nieman, Strand. Dasher, Ketchman. Front Row: Lucas, Lynch, Davis, McLeod, Eyster. The Student Council has never before been as active as this year. It is made up of a Senate and a House of Representatives, the Senate com¬ posed of two members from each home-room and the House, one representa¬ tive for each 15 students. The senators and representatives were elected at at the beginning- of the year in each home-room but neither house was or¬ ganized until the second semester. At that time, in February, officers were elected in each house and plans were made for their work for the rest of the year. The Student Council’s most outstanding work has been that of the school visitors. Students from Henry Ford, Fordson High, Lowrey, Oxford and Salina schools have visited Dearborn High School, and students of this school have visited them. The visitors compare Dearborn’s school with theirs and others and express their opinions of their hosts. They also give a report to their own student council. This plan has worked out very satisfactorily giving the students a chance to see other schools and obtain new ideas for their own. The Senate at one of its meetings took up the subject of activity credits for next year. Such credits were given in Dearborn High last year and previously, however, this year the idea was given up. A cheer leaders’ contest was put on in February by the council. Be¬ sides the selection of official cheer leaders, this contest airoused the stu¬ dent body’s interest in sports more than any other pep meeting of the year. The faculty advisers are Mr. Hood and Mrs. Pletcher. Officers of the Senate are: president. George Gearhart; secretary, Arvilda Merryman. Officers of the House: president, Edna Miller; secretary, Wayne Taft. THE P l O N E E FL, LATIN PAPER SWS V wu Back Row: Herron, Haigh, Riemer, Newell, Brugemann (adviser), Calder, Mc¬ Cracken, Bryant. Hamilton, LeMaster, Moore. Front Row: Saunders, Black, MacMullan, Littlefield Simonds, Fox, McEachern, Phillips, Simonds. For several years the Latin department has wanted to start a newspaper but until this year no one has had the necessary initiative and enthusiasm to undertake such an important project. Austin Simonds energetically presented the idea this year to a few of the older Latin students, and fired by the idea they decided to try it out. A staff of twelve members was chosen, and two reporters from each Latin class make the rest of the personnel The name chosen was “Tunc et Nunc” meaning “Then and Now.” This re¬ fers to events of ancient Rome, coupled with present day information of the Latin world and that of the high school. The first number of the paper was issued in December, it being a monthly, eight page edition. Fresh from the mimeograph, with drawings by its own art staff, the paper represented a welcome addition to the school publications. A small amount of advertis¬ ing was carried and there w ere a number of interesting articles by members of the various Latin groups. Later numbers fulfilled the promise of the first one, and it is hoped that the Latin paper will become one of the school insti¬ tutions. An exchange list with other schools was arranged, which proved helpful in learning what other schools were doing in the field. A subscription price of ten cents for seven issues is charged, and the number of subscribers was very encouraging. Faculty members were much in evidence among the sub¬ scribers, proving that their Latin training has not been forgotten. Alumni of the school have also subscribed. Latin papers provide an excellent project in mastery of this important language, wTile the group cooperation necessary provides good training for the contacts of life. THE PIOKEEP . r ig jfLM!VA«94«V! 3fc � • - TV. ' ' !-’ ' ■ m :iy. ' —Vlv- PIONEER Back Row: Thies, Henderson, Hagelthorne, Gearhart, McLellan, Merryman. Front Row: Smoger, Davis, Ochs, Parsons. Before the 1929 Pioneer was issued, the 1930 book was begun, with the appointment of Arvilda Merryman as editor-in-chief and James McLellan business manager. All contracts were let in the spring also, and when Sep¬ tember arrived, all was in readiness for the actual work. Even the scenic views for the front of the book had been taken in the spring, when the school was at its best. Incidentally, the picture of the pepperidge tree which graces this book has become famous, having been used for other purposes which placed it before the public. On account of the increased enrollment of the school, it was decided to print 400 copies of the Pioneer, an increase of 100 over the last year’s pro¬ duction. The issue sold rapidly, and as was the case last year, there were no extras. Many elements have been responsible for the excellence of the 1930 book. The editor and business manager worked long and tirelessly, often doing the work of others who failed to complete the work assigned to them. The business manager, on account of straitened business conditions, had an especially difficult task. Mr. Duane Salisbury of the Service Engraving Co. was exceptionally accommodating and helpful, as were the force of the Arthur Studio, photographers. Mr. Kronberg of the printing department gave in¬ valuable service. The art staff produced the best work yet used in a Dear¬ born annual. Thanks are due Miss Doerr, of the typing department, whose students typed much of the material. Mrs. Pletcher and Miss Hines were generous with advice and supervision. The Pioneer is entered in the contests of the National Scholastic Press Association, and the M. I. P. A., but at this writing, results have not been received. Work on the 1931 book has begun already. THE PI O N E E ORANGE AND BLACK Back Row: Simonds, Wessinger, Alexander, Davis, Keen, Thies, Penhale, Bryant, Littlefield, Parsons. Front Row: Sagar, Simonds, Gearhart, Martin, Black. The Orange and Black began the fall semester with a staff of eighteen people. Due to a restricted program and a low treasury, no conspicuous new features were attempted, but more emphasis than ever was placed on careful writing, a policy which resulted in the paper earning a first class honor rating in the contest of the National Press Association, with 870 points out of a possible thousand. Nine staff members represented the paper at the M. I. P. A. convention in Ann Arbor. There was one representative at the National Scholastic Press Association convention in Chicago, a new departure this year, and one at the convention of the Southeastern Michigan Journalists at Royal Oak. The paper became a member of the National association this year, also of Quill and Scroll, national journalistic group, of which a chapter was later installed in the school. In the last annual contest of the M. I. P. A., results of which were an¬ nounced too late to be included in the 1929 pioneer, the Orange and Black was awarded third place in its class. It is entered in this contest again this year, while the work of Mary Jane Parsons, second semester editor, was entered in the creative writing contest conducted by Quill and Scroll. At this writing, results of the contests have not been issued. During the first semester, the staff visited the plant of the Detroit News and the Ford News. An instructive trip through the Rouge plant of the Ford Motor Co. was also enjoyed. Members were present at the dedication of the Ambassador Bridge, linking the United States and Canada at Detroit. A feature of this term was the address given by Mr. W. A. Simonds, editor and author. During the second semester, the staff visited Henry Ford’s American Village. THE .•+ � .n- iv- n � iv.

Front Row: Schultz, Smith, Woolley, Plowfield (adviser), Boldt, Martin, Steinhauer The Dearborn High School libiary staff is composed of the Librarian and a group of pupils chosen from grades nine to twelve. The qualifications for a library staff member are a B average, willing¬ ness to do minor as well as desk work, and attendance at staff meeting once each week. The work is elective. Anyone wishing to join the library staff may do so, providing there is a vacancy, after consulting with the librarian. At first all members of the staff work as apprentices. That means that they must cut papers, mount pictures, paste books, mend and do any other necessary tasks about the library. During this apprenticeship, through the means of individualized lessons written by the librarian, they learn the system and organization of the library and are prepared to do desk work. For their efforts they receive Ft credit each semester. Those pupils who successfully do the apprentice work and wish to con¬ tinue as members of the staff may become assistants as soon as there is an opening. As assistants they do desk work, which consists of stamping and shelving books, filing cards and pictures and some reference work. They also receive Ft credit. Besides the regular staff, two people may work from 8:00 to 8:30 in the morning and three or four may work from 3 :40 to 4:30, receiving the regular library credit. Two or three people work at Garrison School library one period each. Miss Plowfield, the librarian, takes pride in developing an efficient and loyal staff, members of which cooperate with her in making the library a real workshop for students. iSBiia THE PIOMEEP • • ■«� ■� -� • JUNIOR PLAY Back Row: Davis, Miller, Bryant, Krusell, Robbins, Currie, Krueger, Taft, Hen- sick. Front Row: Black, Sagar, Parsons, Herron, Keen, McGuire, Littlefield. A junior play was a new departure in the school this year, but with a large class and the Washington trip work ahead, it was felt that an early start would be advisable. Under the direction of Miss Sturtz, drama and English teacher, “The Charm School” was chosen as the vehicle in which the juniors would make their bow to the public. Mary Jane Parsons portrayed very well the female lead, while James Currie did superior work as the youthful head of the school, a role especially difficult for him at the time because of his father’s serious illness. The re¬ mainder of the cast, chosen from boys and girls of the class, worked hard to make their first effort the success that it was. Following the example set by the seniors in their play, the juniors gave two performances also, one in the afternoon and one in the evening, and, like the seniors, enjoyed the advantages of this procedure both in conven¬ ience and revenue. Special scenery being needed, ambitious junior art students constructd their own, with Jean McKay as chairman. When she sprained her wrist before the work was finished, Helen Zimmerman, a senior, very kindly helped, and the result was attractive settings throughout. Betty Wallace and Harry Losey acted as properties committee with thoroughness and dispatch. The only accident to mar the play occurred in the painting of the scenery, when lane Thies fell from a ladder, and was liberally covered with green paint. Mr. Greenland, head of the English department, and Miss Sturtz coached the play. Each was presented with a gift at the performances. When the juniors begin work on their Washington trip in the fall, their treasury will already have a nest egg of no mean proportions. kx .p ' - ' vr- ' t, ' -: -i v w jw� i ■M w.r , . d � .‘W - 5 y THE PIOKEEP VAt-ae U■ tv ' t •«� j r, -M -«« .•-, v t.� . •- 5 ' Vji—• r«v-i-vv.-ti •;.

Front Row: Sagar, MacMullan, Black, Stutsman. These students sent to Mt. Pleasant in 1929 represent the first group of Mt. Pleasant delegates to have their picture in the annual. Last year Dearborn was tied for second place in the Vocational division of Class AB, obtaining 15 points, and made an average rating in the Academic division. These delegates placed as follows : Simonds, sixteenth in Latin I; Bryant, second in geometry; Riemer, fourth in algebra; Merryman, nineteenth in chemistry; Armstrong, first in typewriting I, and eighth in novice shorthand; Sagar, ninth in Latin I; Black, eleventh in algebra; Stutsman, third in biology. There were three other delegates whose pictures do not appear; Hoppin who obtained first place in typewriting II, and ninth in French; Greer, who placed twelfth in chemistry; and Miller who was twelfth on the list in geometry. Hoppin and Greer are graduates. For the last four years Dearborn High School has taken part in the annual scholastic contests held at Mt. Pleasant for Michigan high schools. Most of the delegates, having been chosen by elimination tests, have lived up to the loyalty of their subject. The last three years Dearborn hasn’t been represented in the Eng¬ lish contests but this year students are again being chosen to participate in this subject. Students are also now being selected to enter other subject con¬ tests in the fifth annual scholastic contests to be held at Central State Teachers College at Mt. Pleasant in May. Students sent to enter these contests not only have the honor of repre¬ senting their school, but, from the accounts of former trips, it seems quite evident they have very excellent times.

The Cosmopolitan Club was reorganized in September with Mr. Good acting as sponsor. At the first meeting the following officers were elected: president, Austin Simonds; vice-president, Ann Shelton; secretary, John Lukens; and treasurer, Donald Evans. Although the number of members was small, great interest was shown by everyone. Due to the fact that seven states, Idaho, Washington, Illinois, Mich¬ igan, Virginia, Florida and Georgia, and two foreign countries, Sweden and British Columbia, are represented in this group, very interesting programs, consisting of talks and pictures, have been given. Paul Denman, the ex¬ sailor boy, spoke about Florida and South America; Gunnar Hagelthorne pictured Sweden as it was ten years ago; Austin Simonds frequently re¬ ferred to his own favorite spot, Washington; Mr. Good talked about the topography, people, and schools of Virginia; Donald Evans made a 1 report on the cow boys of the Mid West; and John Lukens told the club about life in British Columbia. However, the high spot of all these talks was reached when Mr. Martin told an interesting tale of his trip to Mexico. Incidentally, roads, heat, the Rio Grande, and the people of this section of America were mentioned at various times, to say nothing of the_ jokes. The Carnival was a great success, and the Cosmopolitan Club did its share toward making it one. Under the leadership of Austi n Simonds, an attractive booth was decorated with purple crepe paper. T;7. i i � � - - THE PIOMEEIP FRENCH CLUB Back Row: Cripps, Bock, Hainline (adviser), Butts, Hell. Front Row : Patterson, .Coon, Merritt. Membership in this organization is open to all senior high school stu¬ dents who are studying at present, or who have at some previous time studied French. Its aim is to stimulate interest in this language and help its mem¬ bers to acquire a better understanding and speaking command of it. At the opening of the current school year a change was made in the activity of the club. It was converted into a French Game Club. French lotto, the game, and Yes and No”, are some of the interesting games played by the members of this organization. In previous years the activities were widely varied. Some of them were: discussing current events of France, singing and learning French songs, and writing and presenting French plays. Last year pictures concerning French places, people and literature were posted on the bulletin board in the room where the club met. In former years the club has taken an active part in presenting chapel programs. They also translated the Constitution of the United States into French. On one of the coldest nights of the winter season, the club members had a very enjoyable skating party at Ford’s Twin Lakes. They skated until it got too cold for them, and then went on to Miss Hainline’s apartment where they dined sumptuously on the justly famous waffles of their hostess’s mother. Miss Hainline is the club sponsor. THE � .V ' ••.� .. -.’wv- - P I O K E E GREGES FELICES Bark Row: McEachern, Anson, Caton, Newell, Krusell Front Row: Bruegeman (adviser). Maples, Dates, Lundquist, Johnson. Greges Felices, happy-go-lucky club of the Latin department, started off the year as an old established group, with the selection of the following officers 1 , Clarabelle Dates, Consul; Harold McEachern, Praetor; Margaret Culp, Quaestor and Koren Johnson, xA.edile. Much interest has been displayed in the work by the group this year. At the first meeting it was decided to build a Roman Forum as it appe ' ars today. NeRoy Anson made the foundation board and drew to scale dia¬ grams of the various buildings. Each member then carved from soap some part of the display, achieving a happy result. As their part of the Carnival, the club, uniting with members of their junior group, successfully constructed a Roman camp in winter. As a money maker, the project was a winner. December found the club lustily practising Christmas carols, which, according to their established custom, they sing in the residence section of Dearborn during holiday vacation. Two new songs were included in the carol repertoire this year. A special feature of February was a slide lecture on “Costumes in An¬ cient Drama” given by Mrs. Bruegeman, club adviser. Latin pins were bought this year following the custom. Clay modeling was attempted as an experiment. Many Latinized American games have been enjoyed by the club, and a literary meeting on Roman Education was a special feature in March. The combined groups contributed handcraft of various types to the Hobby Fair in April. The junior Greges Felices had for officers Leona Lewis, Consul; Glen Krusell, Praetor; Ingrid Lundquist, Aedile and Dan Caton. Quaestor. This group functions smoothly under the direction of its officers. THE PIOKEER. • ' ' � «■ ■ V wi, , - GIFT Front Row: Calder, Dapprich, Steve, Reeck, Wildfong. Back Row: Bunge (adviser), Condit, Bird, Theil, Strohm, Nieman. Miss Bunge is the sponsor of the Gift Club, a junior high organization which is now completing the second year of its existence. During its first year, this club was so popular, and its enrollment was so large, that the work was hampered in quantity and scope, but this difficulty was eliminated this year, by arranging for a smaller membership. It is now possible for the group to make more things, and as a result, there is more interest in the work, and a corresponding improvement in the articles made. The aim of the club is to interest girls—for it is a girls’ club exclusiv¬ ely—in various kinds of handcraft, so that they may spend their leisure time to good advantage. Among the varieties of work suitable for their purpose are embroidering, making silhouettes, hemstitching, crocheting, knitting, simple paper lampshades, handkerchiefs, applique work, and many other simple articles. Members are urged to do the things which they most enjoy. Most of them find that hemstitching towels pleases them more than any other form of work. Several students have attempted work of a more ambitious nature, and the work as a whole is considered worth while. Handwork articles are so expensive that many people do not feel that they can afford to buy them. In this club, by means of expert aiivice, the students may learn to make for themselves articles which otherwise would be costly. The opportunity for development of the creative instinct is excellent, and artistic talent is sometimes discovered where it is least expected. The club held a bunco party in February, celebrating St. Valentines Day. The following officers were elected at the first meeting of the year: Margaret Calder, president; Rachel Reech, vice-president; Adell Dapprich, secretary; and Surena Steve, treasurer. THE PIONEER HI-Y CLUB Back Row: Hood (adviser), Wilkie, McLellan, Pike, Newell, Hagelthome, Horne, Currie. Front Row: Henderson, Strand,, Frutchey, J. Trevarrow, Hilton. The Hi-Y clubs are high school clubs sponsored by the Y. M. C. A. with this purpose in mind ; “To create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character.” Their platform is; Clean living, clean speech, clean athletics, clean scholarship. The Dearborn Chapter was started in 1927 with Mr. Gillespie as sponsor. During the year 1928-1929 the club was inactive but was started again this year by Mr. Hood. Six students were selected by Mr. Hood in organizing the club. These six were James McLellan, Eric Hagelthorn, Martin Strand, George Hilton, Malcolm Frutchey and Philip Newell. The six chapter mem¬ bers made up a constitution and an initiation program and elected officers from among their number. James McLellan became president, Philip Newell vice-president, Mac Frutchey treasurer and Martin Strand secretary. When it was found later in the year, that Martin Strand could not attend all the meetings, Earl Trevarrow was chosen to fill his place as secretary. The ex¬ pansion program was immediately put into effect and the club is now made up of 15 members, the limit set by the constitution. The Older Boys’ Conference at Grand Rapids was looked forward to, but inability to make reservations caused the disappointment of the Dearborn delegation. Dinner meetings and initiations held by several Detroit clubs were visited by the six chapter members for the purpose of getting ideas for the club, and Jataes McLallan and Mr. Hood have attended several presi¬ dents’ suppers in Detroit. Meetings are held Tuesday at noon and problem discussions by mem¬ bers or a talk by an outside speaker make up the program. THE PIOMEEIV, •� ' •. v v sr- v - ■ ' t : f. Vvif ' 1 ' , ALPHA BETA TAU Back Row: Meyer (adviser), Hutchinson, Wilson, Kandt, Hansen, Krusell. Front Row: Plimely, Martin, Gearheart, Soper, Lucas. The Alpha Beta Tati is a new chib of 1929 and was organized primarily to benefit athletics. The opening sentence of the charter reads, “To regulate and control good sportsmanship in athletics.’’ The members of the club have, to the best of their ability, fulfilled this pledge. Among the first achievements of the club are the securing of outside speakers for the pep meetings which they conduct, erecting a new add more suitable score- board in the gymnasium and obtaining athletic banquets. Membership in the club, according to the provisions made in the char¬ ter shall consist of ten recognized members of the student body, five from the senior class, three from the junior class and two sophomores. At no time shall the membership exceed the quota of .ten and there shall be no freshman members. The officers, president, secretary and treasurer shall be elected from the senior group. The sponsor, perferably a member of the faculty interested in athletics, is provided for in the charter. Louis Meyer was unanimously acclaimed sponsor at the first of the year, while George Gearhart, Donald Martin and Roy Soper were elected presi¬ dent, secretary and treasurer respectively. The other two members of the senior class who will graduate in June are Monroe Wilson and Harry Hansen. These five seniors will select five more students who are qualified to join and these with the other five still identified with the club shall form the next year’s group. Athletics have advanced materially while this club has been in existence and much more should be accomplished next season. THE PIOMEEIF w i S� SJP3 AVIATION Back Row: Gilmaster, Riemer, Carnell, Twork, J. Trevarrow. Front Row: Vartan ian, Paeschke, Roberts (adviser), Hunt, Hayes. The D Hi Aero Club began in September with a definite objective in view, the construction of a glider. The necessary arrangements were made by the president and treasurer with Mr. Adams to obtain the parts which could not be made by the club. Mr. Adams decided that the club was capable of carrying the glider through to completion so the necessary funds were supplied by the School Board. Thus the club began its work and made rapid progress, reaching the goa. in the early spring. “Wings”, a club in Highland Park High School, was visited by all the members of the D Aero Club, for the purpose of comparing the two organ¬ izations and the work of each. The monthly meetings are devoted to the formation of a club consti¬ tution, which names the requirements for membership in the club. These re¬ quirements pertain to the members of the Junior High Aviation Club who are seriously interested in aeronautics and wish to obtain membership in the D Hi Aero Club. A rather complex organization has been adopted with a president, four vice-presidents, a secretary and a treasurer as officers. The four vice- presidents are in charge of model building, service section, study section and aims and objectives. The treasurer also acts as the purchasing agent and the inspector. Mr. Roberts efficiently directs the activities of the busy group. Officers: J. Trevarrow, president; first vice president in charge of Model Building, Mark Carnell; second vice president in charge of Service Section, Milton Paeschke; third vice president in charge of Study Section, Ajax Vartanian; fourth vice president in charge of Aims and Objectives, Cleveland Hayes; treasurer, purchasing agent and inspector, Clarence Hunt; secretary, Elmer Gilmaster. • ' vl- THE P I dTi E E fC SOCIAL SCIENCE CULB Back Row: Littlefield, Moses, Mathis, Abbott, Steinhauer. Front Row: Cook, Burwell, Brown (adviser), Lundquist, Malvitz. The Social Science Club was newly organized this yea|r. While it is small, having only ten members, it is expected that with the coming of the new semester in the fall it will rival any of the larger organizations of the school. The club fills a distinct need in the school. Its primary aim is to acquaint the student with the major social and economic problems to the end that such knowledge will make of the student a better citizen. The development of a spirit of civic consciousness, the creation of an intense interest in nation wide issues, is a major aim. The functions of banks, news¬ papers, and civic clubs of the community have received considerable atten¬ tion on the part of the club members. Representatives of these organizations as well as the faculty, have favored the club with informal talks at various meetings throughout the year. At these meetings it has been the aim of the club to give the widest possible opportunity to having an exchange of opinions, doubtful points in the speaker’s address explained, always to the end that his remarks and the discussions center around the theme of better ntizenship. The club is being directed by De Forrest Abbott, president, Helen Littlefied, secretary; and James Cook, treasurer. A small monthly sum is levied on each member to defray the cost of the annual picture, and to pay for a party the club is planning to have near the end of the semester, and which it is hoped will continue to be a yearly affair. « « ;..

Sollinger, Bartel, Ristow, Miller. The Kichlohe Campfire Girls, under the guardianship of Miss Doerr, started their second year with Ruthene Sollinger. president; Elsie Wyman, vice-president; Edna Bartel, treasurer; Margaret Owen, secretary; and Betty Hamilton, O. and B. reporter. Margaret Owen left campfire early in the year and Marion McCormick was elected secretary. The name chosen for the group, “Kichlohe,” stands for kindness, cheer¬ fulness, love and health. This organization aims to prepare the girls to meet responsibilities, and encourage them to create beauty about them in their homes and in themselves by the things they do for others. The girls have had a very busy as well as interesting season. It started by initiating the members of Mrs. Caris’ group. No casualties occurred ex¬ cept to Marjorie Robbins, who decided it was much safer to walk without being blindfolded. The next event was a Thanksgiving Ceremonial at which time the new members of this group and Mrs. Caris’ group were taken in as members. The Christmas party, held at the home of Edna Bartel, was enjoyed by all. Gifts were exchanged. On the coldest Saturday of the new year, several brave members of this group hiked with the Boy Scouts. ’Tis rumored the fire wouldn’t burn so the girls departed to their respective homes to cook breakfast. The members of this group with the members of Mrs. Caris’ group put on a typical Campfire assembly program on April 2. The latter part of the year was devoted to learning campfire songs, hiking, doing the requirements for the Firemaker and Woodgatherer Ranks, which were passed in May, and selling “donuts” to raise money for Camp Wathana. Several girls with Miss Doerr spent an enjoyable week at this camp last summer. r . B ;«vW: THE PIOWEEIP CAMP FIRE (MRS. CARIS) Back Row: Snell, Smith, Hill, Krumling, Manchester, Caris (adviser), Bassett, Moses, Rese, McKee. Front Row: Wheeler, Scallen, Spencer, Marshall, Lewis, Petersen, McEachern. The members of this Camp Fire group, headed by Mrs. Caris were initiated at the beginning of the year by Miss Doerr’s Camp Fire girls, con¬ sisting of eighth graders who had been in the organization before. In No¬ vember, the two groups had a joint ceremonial at which the seventh graders were taken into the ranks of Camp Fire as regular members. The club is an unusually active organization and the majority of them have passed the requirements for the first rank and are full fledged wood- gatherers. The group has one monthly meeting in school hours and one meeting a month outside of school. The meetings in school are spent in preparation for ranks besides each girl’s individual work outside of school. Many at¬ tractive bead head bands have been made which go nicely with the ceremonial gown that is obtained when a member becomes a Woodgatherer, and honor beads are handed out by the dozen at the ceremonial meetings. The first social gathering was one at Mrs. Caris’ apartment where they made candy for the crippled soldiers in Detroit. A craft party in January, a roller skating and theatre party in February were the other outside meet¬ ings. In addition to attending and having a part in the Birthday Council in Detroit and helping in the regular spring doughnut sale, the Camp Fire Girls put on a novel assembly program and sold magazines for their own general expenses. Officers of the club are: Marguerite Marshall, president; Barbara Smith, vice-president; Florence Spencer, secretary-treasurer; Vivian Scal¬ len, art chairman; and Iva Lewis, reporter. i.

Middle Row: Roper, Ainsworth, Morningstar, Harris, McGarvey, Currie, Simpson, Black. Front Row: McGuire, Smith, I osey, Zahnow, Henderson, Hoag. The Sinfonia is just ending- the first year of its existence, having been organized last September. Its membership is made up of students in all the senior high school music classes. It is a direct descendant of the old Orches¬ tra club, a group of orchestra members only, but this year it was felt that a general music club would make for greater unity and more efficient cooper¬ ation in both the department and the school. It can safely be said that it has proved itself to be a live organization, and has far surpassed its ancestor. There are 23 members in the club. At the beginning of the year the group was divided into committees of three, each committee being respons¬ ible for one monthly program. In this way each member of the club takes an active part in a program at some time during the year. Many good pro¬ grams have been put on. Early in the year the club voted to sponsor the National Orchestra camp scholarship, and since then members have worked hard to advance this worth¬ while project. A dance was given, and later a bake sale, both of which were profitable. One day in March the club members appeared in neat aprons, on which the public was invited to sew patches containing any sum of money it cared to donate. Soon the aprons began to show the effects of vigorous campaigning, and when the contest, for such it was, ended, a neat sum of money was added to the scholarship fund. Miss McManus is the sponsor of this active group, and guides its des¬ tinies in an enjoyable and profitable way. The team work showed by the club is commendable, proving that a high school club can pull together and have a serious purpose, while enjoying good times as well. Back Row: Simonds, Adair, McKay, Hines (adviser), Zimmerman, Straith, Showers. Front Row: Stobbe,, Dawson, Miles, Boldt, Jerencsik, MacMullan, Morris. This is the third year that the Art Club has been organized in Dear¬ born High School. The purpose of it is to give anyone who is interested in art an opportunity to do some art work and learn more about the particular branch in which he is interested. This year for the first time, a junior high club was organized. Their activities are much the same as those of the senior group. Miss Hines, art teacher, is sponsor of this organization. The officers are: Jane Jerencsik, president; John Downing, vice-president; and Catherine Boldt, secretary and treasurer. Special programs with either a speaker or a chalk talk have been fea¬ tured at monthly meetings. In the time remaining, the members work on batik, tie and dye, leather work, or lampshades. Those who were not inter¬ ested in any of these activities worked on sketching, water-coloring, pen and ink, or pencil work. Several times during the year the members have gone to the Art Mu¬ seum in Detroit, to see exhibits or hear lectures. A studio party was held at which both the decorations and the entertainment were quite “arty.” A theatre party and a wiener roast were also enjoyed by the members. A new development this year is the junior high art club composed of about 20 members. These students meet not only during the regular club period, but Mondays after school. They have divided the group into three parts, a leather group, a poster group and sketch group, and each works on that phase in which it is interested. The club is ambitious and forward look¬ ing. Payment of dues is insisted upon, and much work of high quality is accomplished. The afternoon meetings are not required, but are held at the request of the club members themselves. THE P 1 O M E E P- SPEECH GLUT Back Row: Howser (adviser), Wilson, Young, Carpenter, Hosmer. Front Row: Allen, Davis, Huss, Aldrich, Derr, Ellicott, Armstrong. The Speech Club for freshman students was organized for the first time last September. The following officers were elected: President, Frank Aldrich; vice president, Helen Derr; secretary, Ro- maine Huss; treasurer, Mary Jean Pardee. Inasmuch as three of the above officers were promoted to senior high school the 1 econd semester, other members were elected to fill vacancies. Frank Aldrich remained in the chair as president. New officers were vice-president, Richard Soper; secretary, Hal Wilson ; treasurer, Robert Hartley. The club enjoyed two theatre parties during the winter. In November, Miss Howser, the sponsor, chaperoned a group of students to see “The Miracle’’ at the Olympia and for variety the club decided to see “The Cocoa- nuts” at the Calvin in January. Romaine Huss entertained the club at a delightful party in February. . . The drama class presented the play “For Distinguished Service” for the March program much to the enjoyment of the club members. On the May program Miss Sturtz discussed the modern talkies and the drama. The club sponsored the freshman debate given in senior high school as¬ sembly in February. “Capital Punishment” was the topic debated by six freshman boys. Affirmative, Everett Durham, Clair Schroeder, Richard So¬ per; negative, Brenton McEachern, Philip Lynch and Frank Aldrich. On April 16th, three freshman debaters met the Harvey Lowry school team here in a clash on extra curricular activities. The Dearborn trio, com¬ posed of Barbara Strand, Philip Lynch and Frank Aldrich, upheld the neg¬ ative side of the question, “Resolved; That a student be allowed to participate in one activity only at a time.” The largest project undertaken by the club this year was the annual speech banquet held May 15th, in the high school cafeteria. W t ' V- - THE PIOWEEK, LITERARY CLUB Front Row: Smith, Derr, Adams, Plowfield (librarian), Brown, Ellicott, Smith. Back Row: Scott,, Penhale, Haigh, Hensick, Steinhauer, Benn, Woolley, Schultz. This unique club is another of the year’s new groups. It is very active, more so than most of the longer established organizations in the school. Its program has been a galaxy of interesting activities. Some very interesting speakers have been secured for the monthly meetings. Miss Clark, of the Dearborn Public Library, spoke on “The Anthology of Poetry.” She also discussed at some length a list of educa¬ tional and interesting books for girls, the boys, and for both. “Travel in Mexico” was the topic of Mr. Martin, faculty member, when he addressed this club. His talk was colorfully illustrated by snapshots and pictures. Miss Jorgenson told of her trip to Alaska and the sights and diversions which she enjoyed while there. There being so few members, only twelve, it was considered un¬ necessary to elect the usual four officers, so only a president was chosen. Ruth Boldt has filled this position creditably. Just before the Christmas holidays, the club held a bunco party, at the home of Alice Benn. On this occasion the rooms were attractively decorated in holiday colors and graced by a Christmas tree. The members presented Miss Plowfield, the sponsor, with some silverware. Fortunes were told, and prizes given to the winners at bunco, to a£ld to the pleasure of the entertainment. Also by the way of entertainment, the club attended a presentation of “The Miracle , during its run in Detroit. A basket of food and supplies was made up and given to a needy family at Christmas time. The second semester, this organization has purchased Literary Club pins, secured more speakers, and sponsored more parties. ' v HIKING CLUB Back Row — Left to Right: Allman, Knapp, Bryant, Davis, Strand, Simmons, Moore, Moon, Ford, McKay, Webster, Kidd, Schmidt, Rothfus, Peckinpaugh, Burns, Young, llal- lup, Mej er, Wheeler.

Third Row: Kirk, Alderyce, Lundkvist, Higgs, Remain, Coon, Zamanigian, I.ayher, Reid, Doolittle, Smith, Twork, Carnell, Fought, Owens, Taft, McKenzie, Dasher, Fair. Front Row: Miller, Cameron, Jackson, Maxwell, Allmand, McCans, Tinder, Johnson, Tavtigian, Storen, Saunders, Scott, Carpenter. The Hiking Club, the largest of this year’s groups, was organized in the fall, and had so many members that it was decided to divide it into three groups. Miss Doolittle sponsors the seventh grade, Mrs. Smith the eighth and Miss Reid the ninth. The clubs have one regular meeting and one party each month. In the fall officers were elected. For Miss Doolittle’s group the following people were chosen: Geraldine McCouns, president, and Eloise Rogers, secretary and treasurer. Francis Stacey is president in Miss Reid’s group, Gertrude Penhale, treasurer; Dorothy West, secretary; Betty Bryant, reporter, and Elizabeth Ford, chairman of the program committee. Mrs. Smith’s group elected the following officers: Doris McLeod, president; Shirley Dasher, sec¬ retary and treasurer; Barbara Strand, chairman of the program committee, and Marleah Webster, reporter. The Hiking Club has fulfilled its name by having many interesting hikes. A few girls go on ahead and blaze a trail which the others follow ' by identifying the signs. On these hikes new country has been explored and in¬ teresting places visited. The girls have learned signalling, calls and how to make a fire and cook their own meals out of doors. During the winter months, instead of hiking, the girls skated, coasted and held indoor parties,. As far as the good times are concerned, the club has been very successful. � U T H E P i 0 KJ- e E Pv. ‘ -• - -. ■ --TV$� � ' 5 • - yr .

The Commercial Club, one of the largest, peppiest and most interesting in the school has maintained its name of the club which “does things for another year. With Edna Miller as president, Isabella Johnston as vice-pres¬ ident, Arvilda Merrvman as secretary and Mae Smith treasurer the club has been run smoothly and has had many interesting, as well as educational pro¬ grams and also several successful parties. A custom of a yearly initiation was started last year and was carried out with a thrilling affair at the home of Bessie Hunt early this year. For the first time in history boys have been admitted to the club although they have failed to attend any of the outside parties. Names were drawn and the annual Christmas party went over with a pot luck banquet and exchange of gifts. Several of the girls attended the showing of “They Had To See Paris’’ at the Calvin theater after the dinner. Among the speakers at the regular meetings were Mr. Jesse Bol¬ linger, Mr. Cleary and Mr. Enrique Beeman. One of the most interesting, however, of the meetings was that taken charge of by Roberta Oster. Arvilda Merrvman and Mae Smith. The program included the reading of an imaginary diary which gave predictions of the future of the club members and a letter giving facts about people connected with the school, which happened 25 years ago. The program also included a reading by Roberta Oster. the piokee:f Va Xn v.-v- ■ ' ; -i -vm ■?.« j « � .. •, BOYS’ PHYSICAL ED CLUB Back Row: McIntyre (adviser), Young, Anderson, Street, Bartel, Davis, Johnson, Little. Front Row: Strand, Hagelthorne, Jones, Penhale, Johnson, Simonds, Zahnow, Robertson. From time to time it becomes necessary to inaugurate a new club to keep up with the expanding - policy of the school’s curriculum and enrollment. The formation of the Physical Education Club for boys was the result of such a neccessity. It was apparent that many of the junior high school students had interests closely allied with principles of the department of physical ed¬ ucation and to maintain their interests and to foster new ones was the pur¬ pose for the founding and organization of the Physical Education Club. The club was formally organized in September of the current school year and was composed of an active membership of about twenty-eight stu¬ dents of the seventh, eighth and ninth grades. The election of officers found the following vested with the authority and responsibility of the organization. Orlan Zahnow, president; David Penhale, vice-president; James Johnston, secretary; and Ford Simonds. treasurer. The activities of the club are in keeping with its purpose to carry over the objectives of physical education department in after school periods, to promote a fine type of sportsmanship within the school and to help in anv way possible the athletic program of Dearborn High, In fulfillment of these aims the club has sponsored a tumbling team among its members, put on an interesting program for junior high assembly, and a system of ushering at athletic contests was initiated by the members and was declared a decided success. It is hoped that this organization will carry on next year with all the enthusiasm and cooperation of the original membership. M— THE PIOMEEFk, 4 � , ' COLLEGE CLUB Back Row: Ross, Lake, Calder, Huss, Robbins, Taft, J. Miller, J. Phillips. Front Row: Grophear (adviser), Rumery, Stutsman, Stanard, Emery. The College Club has been one of the formost clubs in Dearborn High school for the past few years. The object of the club is to increase the high school student’s interest in college life. In carrying out this purpose, speak¬ ers from various professions have been obtained to tell about their college experiences. Herman H. Grophear, of the science deparment, has sup¬ ervised the college club activities for the last two years. His enthusiasm has inspired many with desire to attend college. Among the speakers on the program this year were Ellis Martin, who spoke on college experiences at the University of Michigan, and Dr. Earl Bloomer, who gave a profitable talk on the medical profession, on Harvard University and on Missouri State College, in which he compared the advan¬ tages of the eastern and western colleges. Rev. H. G. Stacy, of Christ church, gave an interesting talk on the opportunities in the ministry. William Halpin, former student of Dearborn High School, who is attending the Ohio State University, told of his experiences at college. One program was given by Mr. Grophear, who discussed some of the advantages and dis¬ advantages of teaching as a profession. After each speaker finished questions were asked by the club members and the topics were discussed. Joe Philips officiated as president and George Eyster was secretary and treasurer. Great interest is manifested among the members of the club for their anticipated college days. FORENSIC CONTESTS l Joe Miller, Evelyn Wright, Frank Aldrich. By process of elimination Evelyn Wright was declared high school or¬ ator, Frank Aldrich the declaimer and Joe Miller the extempore speaker. Evelyn Wright, giving a critical analysis of the unemployment problem, won from Joe Miller who, although writing an excellent oration, talked on a less timely subject. Evelyn’s oration wate well written and delivered in an oratorical style, and following the school contest, she won first place in the sub-district contest at Wayne, April 10. The school may be proud of the speech work which Evelyn has done as school declaimer, varsity debater and school orator. After eliminating 67 declaimers by a series of contests, five students, Barbara Strand, Elizabeth Ford, Robert Smith, Frank Aldrich and Helen Derr, competed before a junior assembly in March, when Frank was awarded first place and Helen Derr, last year’s champion, was declared second best by three outside judges. Dearborn High School entered the extempore speaking contest for the first time this year. The tendency is to get away from memorized speech and speak extemporaneously. From nine contestants Joe Miller was judged best. An extempore speaker must have a wealth of information at his finger tips and must be able to speak fluently and authoritatively. All speech contest work was under the direction of Miss Howser with the exception of the extempore contest, in which she was assisted by Mr. Brown. The faithful and energetic work of Miss Howser has laid a good foundation in speech work and the department this year is giving great promise of future triumphs. 1 - r ss VatX.
