Adams. The obstacles that have barred the way to progress in administrative organization, in pro- fessional loyalty, in teaching method, and in public confidence, have, through the past fifteen years, been steadily but surely surmounted, and with the same sincerity of motive, the same tenacity of pur- pose and the same quietness of execution with which the pioneers of old hewed down the forests to build a nation. No better educational pioneer than Superintendent Adams could have been chosen for this dedication. Foreword DEARBORN’S outstanding advance- ment in the educational field determined the theme for the 1932 Pioneer. An outstanding English de- partment. orchestra, hand, and chorus have all brought honor to the school, while an excellent commercial division prepares students for business positions on graduation. Special courses in the fore- front of educational advancement are included in the curriculum. All these factors justly entitle Dearborn to the title of educational pioneer. Acknowledgments are made to the art, print- ing. and typing departments, the photographers, engravers, binders, and all others whose work made this book possible. The scenic quotations were taken from Longfellow’s poems.

Albright Lawyer—Enrique Beeman FACULTY HISTORY The work of this school year has concerned itself largely with two aspects of school grov th. The first of these is growth in numbers. During the year an enrollment of 869 has been reached, an increase of 322 students from the 547 enrolled in 1928. To meet this increase Miss Re'd who form- erly- taught Art and Mathematics, was forcer! to devote her entire time to Mathematics, while the Art work was taken over by Mrs. Block, and Miss Mitchell came to us in December to work m Mathematics and assist with the Study Halls- Due also to the increase in enrollment which has now begun to crowd our building, the school day was lengthened and classes are now run through the noon period for senior high school students. Class sizes have increased and teachers’ work has multiplied here, as elsewhere, during the year as our contribution to the cause of economy in this trving time of financial depression. The other and more complex aspect of growth has to do with the development of new problems caused indirectly by- the numerical growth, such as the widening of the range of aptitudes and interests among the stu- dents. the growth of a need for organized educational guidance, the tend- ency to divide socially into smaller groups, the necessity for the school to make its influence permeate the community by more apd finer contacts and the need for forces of coherence among the faculty members. In the solving of these problems much progress has been made during the year. The ever widening range of interests and aptitudes of our students is being met bv enrichment of subject matter within the individual subjects and bv the development of new subjects and courses. Among these is the introduction of a class in Contemporary History, using newspapers as text material, and a class in Journalism preparing students for the laboratory- class which publishes the Orange nad Black. A third class of this nature is the course in Discussion and Debate. This course uses text material which brings up problems of vital and current interest—social, ethical and economic—which problems mav then be discussed freely and fully. Educational Guidance has been developed to keep pace with our growth through the development of a centralized system headed bv Miss Betts. The extra-curriculum program of clubs, athletics, and homerooms has this year expanded to meet the increased social needs of the school. The faculty of Dearborn High School has been for a long time rela- tively- stable and a majority of our teachers have been in Dearborn for many years and have become an integral part of the community. Their influence is each vear becoming increasingly felt in the churches and in the social and service clubs of the city-. A fine spirit of friendliness has been developed between the community and the faculty. Probably the most characteristic feature of our school is that feeling of fine friendship that exists between student and teacher and parent. The faculty, through advanced study in college and university, each vear becomes increasingly- better able to cope with the problems of edu- cationaj practice and theory- and in the faculty- meetings has developed technics in teaching students to study more effectively. Much time has also been spent in developing technics for character education. One of the programatic tests of a school’s success is the progress of its graduates in college- Dearborn High boasts of former students in col- leges from Washington to Massachusetts, students who are upholding the traditions of their high school education.

Secretary: Milton Parrish, Treasurer Outstanding in scholarship and football, William Higgs completed his fourth year of presidency of the 1932 graduating class in its six years in Dear- born High School, tieing with Forrest Fox for third place in the scholastic averages. After having plaved football four seasons and earned three letters he captained this vear’s football team. He was elected to the National Honor Society at the end of his junior year. He was a member of Alpha Beta Tau; took part in the one act play, “Thursday Evening- given by the drama class last year, and played in the senior production, “Merton of the Movies.” Proctor McGeachy, vice-president, was also outstanding in scholarship, rating seventh in the class. A member of the band and orchestra for four ears, his maj r interest was music. Proctor belonged to the Sinfonia Club in 1930. He started with the jazz orchestra organized by Ernest Kandt and Fred Boss in the fall of 1930, and continued in the one high school orchestra this year. The only sport in which he actively participated was cross country, for which he managed the team in 1930. while in 1931 he went out for the team. He was a Hi-Y member for two years. Marion Saunders was homeroom secretary in both her junior and senior years, and president of the girls in her freshman class. Her journalistic activ- ities have been noteworthy. After one semester of the O. B. she became a member of Quill and Scroll, and was appointed Assistant Editor of the Pioneer last year. She became editor this year. Marion was elected to the National Honor Society in her junior year, and was charter member of the Girl Re- serves. She was in “Minick”, took charge of the properties in “Merton of the Movies”, and supervised the Christmas welfare arrangements. Milton Parrish, treasurer, has strong musical inclinations, having been in the music department, with both band and orchestra, for four years. He belonged to the Sinfonia Club in 1931, and to the Aviation Club the year be- fore. For the past two years he has been a member of the House of Rep- resentatives. Marion is the only one of the four whose plans for the next few years are definite. She will enter the University of Michigan in the fall, prepara- tory to her aim of teaching English. Of the three boys, William and Proc- tor both hope to enter the University, William for the study of medicine and Proctor for the legal profession.

The class was divided into two groups alphabetical!}'. In 1929 the class was redivided. Mrs. Caris took charge of the girls’ group and Mr. Grophear, then a newcomer, took charge of the boys’ group. The sophomores started the social season for the class by giving a party for the freshmen. At Christmas time both groups joined in a Christmas party in the auditorium, with Mr. Grant acting as Santa Claus. The Fresh- man Frolic, in the guise of a St. Patrick's dance, was successful both finan- cially and socially. The girls carried off the sports honors in 1929 by win- ning the interclass basketball championship. At the Carnival the freshmen’s green and white decorated booth carried off the first prize. The sophomore year was successful socially, financially and scholastic- ally. Four members of the class were delegates to Mt. Pleasant. They were Chandler Simonds, Rebecca Stutsman. Earl Reimer, and Joyce Black. This year the girls changed places with the boys and let them carry off the sports honors, which they did by winning the interciass basketball cham- pionship. This was the first year that the sophomore English class published an issue of the Orange and Black. Mr. Greenland was the adviser and Jane Perry was the Editor-in-Chief. The undertaking was a success, and now is an annual occurrence. The cla,ss dance this year was a Christmas affair, which was, as usual, successful. Mrs. Caris and Mr. Haight acted as spon- sors for the class. In 1931 the highlight of the year was the J-Hop. The novel decora- tions of blue, black, and silver, with Little America as the background, helped greatlv in its success. Another social event was the Junior-Senior banquet at which the decorating was done in the Chinese motif. School honors were taken by Marion Saunders, and Rebecca Stutsman in being elected to the Quill and Scroll; Helen Derr, as a member of the National Forensic League; Marion Saunders, Mary Jean Pardee, William Higgs, and Earl Reimer in being made members of the National Honor So- city. Again, as in the freshman year, Mrs. Caris and Mr. Grophear made a satisfactory combination for the sponsorship of the class. The last year of high school for the Class of 1932 was a very eventful one. The Washington trip was more interesting than usual, due to the fact that displayed in the buildings of the capital of our country were many ex- cellent bi-centennial exhibitions. Mrs. Pletcher, iiss Plowfield, Mr. Martin, and Mr. Vanek acted as chaperons on the trip. Money was earned for the trip, which was taken in the early part of May. by giving dances, the Car- nival. and a very successful and popular play, called “Merton of the Movies,” in which Gordon Smith, the school tre surer, and Betty LeMaster took the leading roles. The usual school activities were participated in by the senior class. Outstanding in athletics were Earl Lucas. William Higgs, and Rus- sell Villaire. Toyce Black, Jane Perry, Robert Minks, and Gordon Smith added more laurels to the class by being elected into the National Honor Society, thus making a total of eight members that were able to successfully qualify for such an honor. Feme Brown and Mary Jean Pardee added more honors to the journalistic department, by being accepted into Quill and Scroll. In June, after the annual has been published, more members of the senior class will be elected into both of these honorary societies. This year the seniors were the guests of the juniors at the annual ban- quet. Following that came the final examinations, the last to be taken in Dearborn High School by the Class of 1932. Then came Baccalaureate. ( lass Day and Commencement. As a climax to the graduation exercises, there was the Alumni Banquet, the last link in the chain of happy high school days. DI«N€€R 11A HOMEROOM Back Row: Parkhurst, M. I.aird, R. Higgs Front Row: M. Sievcrt, M. Hoppin, Wilford, Woehlke, A. Reynolds The 11A homeroom is headed by Kenneth Parkhurst and Jerome Wil- ford. president and vice-president respectively. Althea Reynolds is secretary and [arvis Woehlke is treasurer for the class, which was organized in October under the guidance of Mr. Vanek. Mildred Sievert ajul Margaret Hoppin are the representatives and Millard Laird and Richard Higgs are the senators for the 37 members of the class. It was organized because the students are half a year ahead of the juniors and lack enough credits to par- ticipate in senior activities. During his high school career Kenneth Parkhurst has been active in basketball, football, and track. He was an Alpha Beta Tau and initiated into the HiY this year. Jerome Wilford has been outstanding in debating. Jarvis Woehlke is captain-elect for the ’33 football team. Althea Reynolds has played the piano for the dancing class and was elected to the Girl Re- serves this year Mildred Sievert is a reporter on the O. R. staff this semester. Millard Laird has placed in the band and orchestra, the dance orchestra, and is on the basketball team this year. Richard Higgs was on t e cross country team. Margaret Hoppin also worked as a reporter on the O. B. staff. The activities of the last year consisted of a dance and two bake sales early in the spring. The class hopes to present a senior play next fall. The group earned its Washington trip with 1932 seniors. This will be the first class in the history of the high school to hold its commencement exercises in January. Mr. Vanek went to Washington with the members who accompanied the 1932 class. 11 B HOMEROOM Back Row: Sutton, Schroeder, Durham Front Row: F. Aldrich, F. Stacey. K. Ford. Dasher. R. Smith The junior class, instead of being divided into two sections as was formerly done, was kept in one homeroom with Miss Howser and Mr. Meyer as sponsors. Frank Aldrich was chosen president. Arthur East, vice-president. Elizabeth Ford, secretary and F'verett Durham, treasurer, while Ralph Champnev and Hal Wilson represented the class in the senate. Those elected to the house of representatives were William Schroeder. Frances Stacey, Shirley Dasher. George David. Robert Smith. Ruth San- dusky, Robert Sutton and Donovan Merryman. Many juniors were prominent in activities througout the year. Wil- liam Lindenmuth took the lead in the school play “Old Man Minick,” while Barbara Strand and Ralph Hall were on the debating team and a large number of bovs earned their letters in sports. Programs were planned for the homeroom meetings and speakers were procured to enlighten the class in various subjects. When the juniors’ turn came to sponsor an assembly program, after much labor and practice, thev presented a series of short skits representing the various activities of the class. Ralph Champnev acted as chairman. After a committee selected a number of class rings the juniors decided that thev would prefer rings without the log cabin design that the pre- ceding classes have had. The members received their rings in February and were well pleased. I he principal junior activity of the year was the annual J-Hop. An efficient committee planned the dance and chose to have balloon decorations. Hv Steed and his Commodores furnished the music. The J-Hop both socially and financially was a success. One hundred couples attended and the juniors made a profit of $44.00. I he class hopes to carry its success on to its senior year. 193 2 DI N€€P 10 A HOMEROOM A % $ . ''«CSk Back Row: J. Johnston, R. Adair, Zahnow Front Row: R. Folger. B. Strand. E. Fair, M. I.undquist Robin Adair, president of the 10 A homeroom, filled hi position as class leader very successfully. Ruth bolder was chosen vice-president: Elizabeth Fair, secretary, and Edna Bartel, treasurer. Barbara Sira d. fames Johnston, and Mar git Lundquist represented the class in the House of Representatives and Orlen Zahnow was elected senator. The class ad- viser was Mrs. Helene Bruegemann. The class began its season by helping make the school carnival a success. The committee, consisting of Ruth Folger. Marion McCormick, Orlen Zahnow, and Vivienne Romaine planned a labryinth. It was at- tractivelv decorated with futuristic designs of flowers against a background of blue skv. The 10 A homeroom assisted in welfare work with Ruth Folger in charge. She succeded in collecting a good basket of food and clothing and a generous sum of money was given to Mrs. Ives for welfare. The class gave its annual sophomore dance in March with an original idea of decorating with funnv papers for the “Depression Drag.” An admission of 98 cents was charged to follow the depression scheme. Orlen Zahnow. Marion McCormick. Raul Major. Arvid Anderson, and Vivienne Romaine were in the orchestra. James Johnston was a member the Glee Club. Miriam Wright had a part in the all-school play, “Old Man Minick ” Several students were verv active in sports. Robin Adair played on the reserve basketball team ; Arvid Anderson participated in track ; Lyle Simons and Edna Bartel were on the girls’ basketball, volleyball, and base- ball teams. The homeroom closed its semester by presenting an assembly pro- gram for senior high students, which included selections In' the chorus, a scene from the senior play, and several musical numbers by teachers and students. 10 B HOMEROOM a. «. $ � Vo • , -ft A X ■I « a £ A HO r. + f m Ai ! 3? w MH « Back Row: Molby, Soderquist, Kresin.

Wilson Increased enrollment necessitated tire alphabetical division of the tenth grade into three groups. Mrs. Meyer is the adviser of the group from A to I, Miss Hainline from I to S, and Mr. Mitchell from S to Z. Naturally, the fir-d task of the group was to elect their officers. Mrs. Meyer’s group elected Sarah Bovill as president. Jack Earle as vice-presi- dent, Vicinia Bargert as secretary, and Geraldine Brooker as treasurer while Leona Bierma, Ruth Boelter, and Ben Hagelthorn were chosen as representatives. Miss Hainline’s group honored Clarence Kresin with the homeroom presidency, while William Newkirk was elected vice-president: Marjory Rothfuss, secretary; Virginia Penrod, treasurer; and Ralph Molby. Carl Roth, and Robert McCloud, representatives. The group under Mr. Mitchell made the following selections;Margaret Webber, president; Ford Simonds, vice-president; Elsie Wyman, secretary; Evelyn Wisman, treas- urer; and Kenneth Wilson. Charles Soderquist, and Elsie Wyman, repre- sentatives. Ruthene Sollinger and Joe Boyle were elected as the tenth grade’s two senators. Among the major activities of the groups during the year were their participation in the high school carnival, the annual party, and the annua’ dance. Each of the groups had a separate booth in the carnival, and Mrs. Meyer’s homeroom made a substantial profit on the sale of confetti, while Miss Hainline’s group entertained the crowd with a wild man from Borneo and a snake charmer. Mr- Mitchell’s homeroom sold caramel corn. The annual sophomore party was held early in the year. Committees chosen from the three homerooms met to lay plans for their annual dance, shortly before midsemester. The hatched the novel idea of having a De- pression Drag, as they called it. to which a couple would be granted ad- mision for the price of a Scotch bargain, 98 cents. Plans were formulated. Wilbur’s dance orchestra hired and the dance took place March 5. 193 2 DI� N€€R 9 A HOMEROOM Back Row : Kocher, B. Day, E. Pike Front Row: J. Cameron, Marshall, Snell The 9 A homeroom with Mr. Haight as adviser has 40 members en- rolled. The class is led by Edward Pike and James Anderson, president and vice-president. Jack Kocher and Henry Oelkers acted as secretary and treas- urer . Marguerite Marshall and William Day are representatives and Adele Snell and Woodrow Bannister senators, while Jean Cameron was elected to take care of publicity. The activities of the class are not as many as those of the senior high homerooms, but the members try to make their meetings interesting as well as profitable. The business is carried on at the beginning of the allotted time, after which the remainder of the period is given over to some speaker. Mr. Adams p-ave an interesting talk on colonial schools and their comparison to the schools of today. A talk on the scholastic side f entering the tenth grade was given bv Mr. Hood, which helped to encourage some of the mem- bers who receive low marks to keep on working. Burdette Johnson and William Schroeder gave a musical program with Rurdette playing the violin and William the accordion. In the fall the 9 A homeroom united with the other ninth grade home- rooms in giving the freshman dance. The music was furnished by one of Russ Morgan’s orchestras. As usual, the class was excited at the thrill of giving its first dance, and to add to their happiness the dance was a success. Mildred Wickens and Lillian Ridley are outstanding in scholarship. 9 B HOMEROOM Back Row: J. Ballard, G. Levagood, J. Bird, G. Mills, C. O'Brien, R. Stanard. F. Laird Front Row: C. Rhodes. M. Fnkalek. V. Scallen, F. Spencer, I. Lewis, M. Calder The 9 B class, due to the large enrollment of 125 students, ha$,been divided into three sections, which are under the supervision of Miss Bunge. Miss Reid, and Miss Wolkins. Jack Bird, Florence Spencer, and Gordon Mills served as presidents of the different sections. The other officers are vice-presidents, Betty Alderdyce and Richard Stanard; secretary-treasurers. Marian Fukalek. Aranka Keleman and Helen Peterson. The representatives of the class were Charles O’Brien. Vivian Scallen, (Mara Rhodes, Ivah Lewis, George Levagood. Francis Laird. James Ballard. Betty Alderdyce. and Margaret ( alder. The homeroom is represented in the senate by Frances Witek and Tack Bird. A Halloween play which proved a success was given in October. Those taking part in the performance were Aranka Keleman, Arlene Carnell, Margaret Calder, Kathleen McKee, Ivah Lewis, Billy Craig, John Bovill. James Ballard. Charles Smith, and Gordon Mills. There were three freshman debating teams, which consisted of Jean Sagar. Henrietta Bryant, and Jane Folger, Charles Smith. Phyllis Mc- Geachy, and Janice McCormick; Betty Craig, Jack Bird, and Vivian Scallen. The alternates for the teams were Wilbur Warner, Jack Herron, and Tames Ballard. Gordon Mills won the junior high school declamation contest and represented the junior high in the Dearborn and Twin Valley League con- tests. Iva Mae Robbins. Tack Bird, and John Bovill proved themselves worthy scholars- The main event of the year was the freshnnfan dance which netted the class a profit of $28.00. 193 2 DI N€€P 8 A HOMEROOM Back Row: W. Warner. O. Renz, R. Keen. B. Vervillc Front Row: P. McGeachy. R. Ford. J. Folger. .1. Sagar The eight A homeroom was sponsored by Mrs. Grafton, with a mem- bership of 42 members. The officers of the class are Phyllis McGeachy, pres- ident; Jane Folder, vice-president, and Jean Sagar, secretary. The group was represented in the Senate by Rylma Ford and Ottilie Renz, and in the House of Representatives bv Richard Keen. Wilbur Warner, and Betty Verville. An assembly program was put on in the form of a play entitled A Bad Girl.” The cast consisted of Jeanne Butts, Wilbur Warner, Laurabelle Kin- yon, Jean Sagar, Clare Jones, and Elmer Ellstrom. Before the final election of the present officers, the class held a politic- al campaign, for the election of its president. The candidates who ran for of- fice were Ted Oelkers, Jane Folger. Charles Lyman, Phyllis McGeachy, Vir- ginia Greenhoe, and Betty Verville. Each one of these had a campaign man- ager, who made many attractive posters and gave speeches before the home- room on their qualities and promises: This group also has parliamentary procedure, as do most all the home- rooms. with president assuming all responsibilities. The class meets daily for seven minutes each morning. Such matters as banking, and paying the dues to the Athletic Association, are also taken care of at these meetings. As the social activities of junior high homerooms are somewhat limited, this group didn’t participate in any outside activities. There are a number of people in this class who are high in scholarship and aVe on the honor roll or runner up lists every month. 8 B HOMEROOM Back Row: E. Smith, J. Eldredgc, H. McLain, J. Thompson, E. Lundquist, D. Currie Front Row: M. Vertrees, J. McCormick, E. I.aMarsh, Fryer, Abbott, C. McCarroll. This eighth grade homeroom was under the sponsorship of Mrs. Wood during the past vear. with an enrollment of 36 members. The officers of the group were Don Currie, president: Ruth Abbott, vice president: and Eliza- beth La Marsh, secretary. Eric Lundquist, and John Eldredge represented the class in the House of Representatives, while Josephine Fryer was the only senator of the class. The homeroom is conducted in the usual method used in most homerooms, which is parliamentary procedure, because it is the quickest and most effi- cient way of taking care of business during the short period of seven minutes. The group meets every morning, and on Monday mornings the minutes are given and other necessary reports, such as those from the Senate, by the var- ious students. A committee is chosen at the first of the week to plan the program for the coming week. Friday mornings are devoted to banking and the collection of athletic dues. A series of travel talks was given by the teachers and students about some of their trips. A number of the students took part in athletics on the girls’ and boys' interclass teams. The girls were Ruth Abbott, Catherine Davis, Muriel Bowyer, Britta Lundquist, and Jacqueline Carmer. Eric Lundquist was the only plaver of the boys. Although the group did not participate in any assembly program or hold many social times, they enjoyed a Halloween party, which was held in the evening in the gym, and at which only the members of the homeroom were present. 193 2 DI«N€€R 7 A HOMEROOM Back Row: R. Haskins, W. Cleveland, L. Haskins Front Row: B. Moore, H. Helmrich, C. Helmricli, R. Davis The 7 A homeroom has been progressing very rapidly under the spon- sorship of Miss Doolittle. At the beginning of the year the enrollment was not very large but during the second semester it has increased. Helen Has- kins was elected president and William Cleveland, secretary. They have no vice-president or treasurer. Barbara Moore and Ruth Davis were elected to the Senate and Helen Helmrich. Ruth Haskins, and Charles Helmrich acted as representatives. When in February they became 8 B’s they elected Dorothy Ponsar president and Charles Newkirk secretary. They kept the same senators and representatives. Like the other junior high homerooms they held their meetings for seven minutes before classes commenced. During this time they discussed citizenship and conduct in assembly and at basketball games. James Laird and Donald Marshall took part in the Washington play given by the history classes and sponsored by Miss Dietrich and Mr. Haight in commemoration of Washington’s Bi-centennial. At the annual high school carnival they had a booth, “Alexander Killed a Pig,’’which proved successful. A history contest with Dorothy Ponsar and Barbara Moore as opposing leaders was won by the former and Barbara as chairman gave a Christmas party to the winning side. About 50 per cent of the homeroom has a school bank account and they bring their deposits every Thursday morning. Many of them also belong to the Athletic Association and great interest has been derived by the students for athletics through the association. The homeroom has quite a high scholastic average with 14 receiving B certifiicates and two, A certificates. 7 li HOMEROOM Back Row: C. Ebling, D. Bird. M. Newell, E. Freeman. P. Fox, A. Higgs, H. Slacey, R. Neisler Front Row: Neely, M. Neisler, C. Rhodes, J. Bird, B. Young, M. Strand, M. Roth- fuss, L. Wyman The 7 B’s are divided into two groups. The A to M division is under the sponsorship of Miss Sturtz while Mrs. Caris has charge of those from N to Z. The president of the former group is Arthur Higgs, Eugene Freeman, is vice-president, while Paul Fox is secretary-treasurer. The officers of the latter group are Virginia Neely, president; Lorna Wyman, vice-president: Betty Young, secretary and Hedley Stacey, treasurer. The representatives of the whole group are Marcia Neisler, Marilyn Rothfuss, Richard Neisler, Betty Jane Forbes, Janet Bird, and Don Bird. Miles Newell and Clyde Ebling are senators. During the seven minute meetings, which are held before junior high students commence classes, the homerooms discussed conduct in assembly and citizenship talks were given by various members of the groups. Mrs. Caris’s division gave an animal show at which students brought small statues of animals. At the annual school carnival both homerooms fitted out booths for fortune telling, color blind testing and voice recording. Miss Sturtz’s group went on a toboggan party at Ford Field and en- joyed a weenie and marshmallow roast. A Christmas party was held in Room 330, and all members exchanged gifts. They furnished a Christmas basket of food and toys for a needy family, thus doing their bit of charity work. Both groups average high scholastically, while Marcia Neisler has had all A's on her report card for the year. 193 2 JhJDCfXU) DI N€€f) ATHLETIC CABINET Back Row: D. Hutchinson, E. Lucas, Gillespie, (faculty) Front Row: Grophear, (faculty), Smith, (faculty), M. Hamilton, F. Stacey, Mitchell, (faculty) To increase school spirit and make athletics in Dearborn High School self supporting are the chief aims of the newly organized Dearborn High School Athletic Association, which has as its controlling body the Athletic Cabinet. The idea of the association was originated by Mr. Mitchell, a new faculty member, early in the school year, and by the first part of December the plans were completed and a constitution drawn up and ratified by both the student council and the administration. After securing the approval of those groups, the association was opened to membership which met with favor among the students and at the present time its members number close to 350. Dali Hutchinson was elected as the organization’s first president, with Frances Stacey as vice-president, Marion Hamilton as secretary, and Earl Lucas as treasurer. These four people as student representatives, together with M_r. Hood as a representative of the adminstration, Mr. Gillespie and Mrs. Smith from the physical education department, and Mr. Mitchell as faculty manager of athletics, constitute what is known as the Athletic Cab- net. It is before this group that problems pertaining to the Athletic Asso- ciation and matters concerning school athletics are placed. Evidence to the effect that the association has in some way achieved its aims is found in the increased enthusiastic attendance at athletic con- tests and the fact that what was a deficit in the athletic fund was converted into a balance. CROSS COUNTRY Back Row: C. Hayes, W. Roeser, P. McGeadhy, T. Sellman, D. Roach, A. Sutherland Front Row: Wetzel, (coach), McCloud, D. Merrytnan, R. Bruce. A. Hayes V.

Although they were not able to do so, they achieved a successful season, as the winning of meets is not the most important accomplishment by which a team’s progress may be measured. Only two of last year’s regular varsity squad, Capt. Hayes and Don Roach, were back with the 1931 squad, but many reserves from the previous year were on hand to fill the vacancies. The loss of Hagelthorn and Emery brol e up the invincible “Big Three”, which was composed of Cleve Hayes in addition to the two mentioned. The most important meets of the season, the Ypsi Frosh. Fordson, State, and Regional, were lost. A new record was established in the Class B State Run, which shattered that which Dearborn had held until this year. June graduation will bring about the loss of C. Hayes, Roach, Suther- land, Sellman, and McGeachy. However, the juniors, sophomores and fresh- men will come forth next year with their representatives—Merryman and Roeser from the 11th; Bruce. Captain-elect, and McCloud from the 10th, and A. Hayes from the 9th. These five men, with the addition of one chosen from the reserves, jre expected to compose next season’s team. 193 2 DI N€€f) BASKETBALL Back Row: R. Giampney, R. Ellstrom, C.

Newell, K. Fremuth, R. Adair, J. Black, E. Lucas, R. Molby, B. Hagelthorn, R. Sutton The basketball season of 1931-32 proved to be a successful year for Dearborn High School. The team played sixteen scheduled games, winning ten and losing six. The suburban league race was interesting and a hard fought campaign on the part of various teams participating in the league. Dearborn gave a good account of herself by ending the league race in a tie for second with Farmington. The Regional Tournament showed the keen rivalry between the bas- ketball teams of our district. Dearborn reached the finals but was defeated in the last game with Catholic Central, by the score of 14-16, thereby failing to qualify for the State Tournament. The Dearborn High School reserve squad was one of the best reserve squads in the school history. The team, with a good deal of experienced material, won ten games and lost three. This is a remarkable record, con- sidering the number of games played with teams out of Dearborn's class. Ten varsity letters were awarded. Those receiving the awards were: ( o-captains Earl Lucas and John Black, Dali Hutchinson, Frank Koppitsch. Millard Laird. Ralph Ellstrom, Charles Sautter. Ralph Molby, Carl Smith, and Ford Simonds. The loss of Earl Lucas, John Black. Dali Hutchinson. Millard Laird, and Ralph Ellstrom will be felt greatly. However, with the returning veterans, and the excellent reserve material. Dearborn High School can look forward to a successful basketball season next year. F()( )TBALL Back Row: Vandercook, Durham, Forster, Gianis, Fast, Aldrich, Kandt, Stansfield, McF.achern, Miller, Lowry, Davis, Woehlke, Merritt, Pike, Johnson, Black, Hutchin- son, Smith, Villaire, Albertson, Morris, Hoppin Front Row: Martin, Cramer, Simonds, Champney, Higgs (captain), Simms, Ma- chine, Dolan, Soderquist. The Dearborn High School football team of 1931 had what may be termed a successful season. The team, under the direction of Captain Wil- liam Higgs, won four games, lost one, and tied two. Coach Gillespie started the year with a small group of veterans and a large amount of reserve material from 1930 and with the aid of his exper- ienced men he succeeded in turning out a strong and powerful eleven, which proved to be one of the leading Class B football teams in the state. The letter men of 1931 were Captain William Higgs, John Black, Rus- sell Villaire, Howard Dolan. Virgil Stansfield. Clifford Morris, Arthur Twork, Jarvis Woehlke. Harold McEachern. Kenneth Parkhurst, Dali Hutchinson! Glenn Miller, Murray Merritt, Charles Evans, Donald Pike, Charles Albert- son, and Carl Smith. Jarvis Woehlke, a veteran of three years, was chosen to captain the 1932 eleven. Russell Villaire. a tackle, and Jarvis Woehlke. captain-elect, received honorable mention on the all state football team. Dearborn’s schedule for 1931 was as follows: Plymouth, Wayne, North- ville. Fordson, Farmington, Flint School for Deaf, and Lincoln Park. In December a committee consisting of Murray Merritt, Glenn Miller and Karl Vandercook, was appointed to take charge of the annual football dance which was a social and financial success. A small profit was realized which was used to pay for injuries sustained by the various plavers partici- pating in the sport. 193 2 DI N€€D BASEBALL Back Row: R. Sutton, F. Woodburn, K. Colber, F. Aldrich, R. Moby, J. Snidow, E. Durham, E. Noland, M. Merritt, B. Johnson Middle Row: R. Reynolds, A. Bray, M. Laird. A. Stark, E. Havenstein, J. Bowen, P. Stark, E. Lucas, C. Smith Front Row: R. Adair, H. Dapprich, J. Maples, K. Schmockel, H. Petersen, J. Simms, D. Zimmerman The 19.12 season of baseball has started with a favorable outlook for the Dearborn High School nine. With the return of the nine veterans and a group of capable reserves, the team should complete the season with a very high percentage of games won. There will be a great deal of competi- tion for varsity positions taking place between the veterans and newcomers. Among the most promising new candidates are John Snidow, catcher; Carl Smith, pitcher: Millard Laird, infielder, and Jack Bowen, outfield. The returning veterans will be Captain Elmer Havenstein, Carl Schomekel, Cecil H 11s, Frank Aldrich, Harry Petersen. Joe Maples, Earl Lucas, Paul Stark, and Murray Merritt. The opening game was won from Melvindale and followed by a victory over Fordson in a game for exhibition. Bedford was defeated in the second scheduled game. The high light of the games won so far has been the excellent pitching of Elmer Havenstein combined with excellent support and good hitting. Coach Frank McIntyre is wejl pleased with the young and aggressive team and expects a very successful season. The school spirit has again been aroused and is now supporting the team whole heartedly and making it one of the leading sports in the school. TRACK Back Row: Wetzel (coach), E. Paul, Zahnow, McCloud. Fremuth, Stolte, A. Hayes, Roach, Sutherland, Bruce, C. Hayes. Brown, A. Stobbe Middle Row: Higgs. R. Champney. R. Smith, Ketchum, Woehlke. Cramer, Kandt. F. Stobbe, Forster Front Row: Stacey, Anderson. McGeachy, N. Lowry. Roescr, Scotten, Bannister, Straith, Kitson. Dearborn s track squad did not have as successful a season last year as it usually has had. The Regional meet was won by Dearborn, two new rec- ords being established by Woehlke and Hagelthorn. However, the team did not fare so well at the State Meet even though two third places and one fifth place were taken by Dearborn’s individual winners. The Suburban League Meet was also won by Dearborn. The season was started with 10 veteran men. Woehlke, Hayes, Roach, Carnell, McGuire, R. Higgs, R. Lowry, Sutherland, and Wilkie', who were captained by Eric Hagelthorn. The team was not especially successful in the dual meets, but it emerged winners of two of its most important meets, the Regional and the Suburban League. High point man for the season was Captain Hagelthorn with a total of 08' 2 points. Following him. but not very closely, were Woehlke and Roach, each having 78 and 38J4 points respectively. Eight varsity letters were awarded to men not having the required 10 points which are necessary to win a letter through competition in dual meets. However, any points scored in the important meets of the season entitle the winner of these points to a var- sity letter. Jarvis Woehlke was elected captain for the season of 1932 and will be backed up by a number of veteran varsity men, who will help Dearborn to uphold its reputation in the field of sport. DI N€€f) GIRLS’ TUM BUNG TEAM Back Row: Tags. Replosrle, Lab, Scott, Allen, Davis. Simmons Front Row: Sutherland, Morehouse, Bartel, Dolan, Rouse. The tumbling team although smaller than usual has main active stu- dents. The girls belonging to it are Edna Bartel, Bertha Morehouse, Marjorie Allen, Ruth Replogle, Etta Sutherland, Helen Davis. Eileen Dolan, Helen Scott. Marguerite Lab. Dorothy Tagg, and Christina Rouse. The first semester work consisted of forward and backward rolls, head and handstands, exercises on the horse and parallel bars. Time was also spent on building pyramids. The “kneeling fan pyramid’’ is illustrated in the pic- ture. Ruth Simmons, a member of previous classes, assisted in building the pyramid since twelve students were needed. The second semester class con- tinued to practice hand and head springs and learned new stunts of backrolls through head and ha,nd stands, the forward stomach roll, shoulder throw, the long and high dives, the snapup, and climbing rope Students have often wondered just what good these activities are to them besides enabling one to do fancy stunts for enjoyment. The object is to produce skill and to control the body, to correct and develop the) body, and it is valuable psychologically. Individual stunts bring out initiative! The patient trying for the desired goal is a training in perseverance, and with success they gain self-confidence. CLASS LEADERS Back Row: W. McCloud, Thompson, Frye, Bannister, H. Miller, H. McLain, C. Kop- pitsch, T. Frazer, D. Dapprich Middle Row: J. Sagar, Marks, C. Smith, F. Laird. K. Lundquist, E. Ellstrom. Nichols. S. Grisham, G. Aldrich, A. Higgs, Ebling, J. Folgcr Front Row: P. McGeachy, E. Dav,s. C. Straith, J. Creith, Kohler. A. Carnell, R. Davis, B. Moore, J. Folger, J. Schmidt, G. Haskins. The class leaders of the gym classes are those students best fitted to lead other students The are selected for their leaditship. character and ability to do the required work. The positions as class leaders are acquired by point; through a test. Those showing the best form in the stunts which are in the test are chosen to h ad the squad. This system of class leaders was first started five years ago by Coach Gillespie. This year’s gym classes are much larger than those of previous years, and the system of appointing class leaders has facilitated 'the teaching of classes because of the large number of students. Coach Frank McIntyre in- structs the leaders individually. After learning their various stunts well enough to enable them to demonstrate for others, they take charge of their respect- ive squads and proceed to direct them in the methods of performing what they themselves have already learned. There are approximately 10 students in each squad, and all of them are enabled to get individual instruction through this system of class leadership. A cup is given each year to those class leaders showing the greatest de- gree of ability, character, leadership, sportsmanship, and trustworthiness. The students who comprise the various gym classes vote on those who are to receive the honor of being elected class leaders. 1— Up in air 9—The famous festival 3—Old grad and new 2— From an old play S—Waiting E—Legal light N—Wolkins and Doolittle T—Class day. 1931 O—Josephine and Avis R—See the birdie S—1931 procession . —Betty Hamilton activ uid • • omneen HAND Back Row: G.

This year’s hand under the direction of Mr. Tiefenthal is the largest and the best that Dearborn High School has ever had. This is Mr. Tiofen- thal’s fourth year here as bandmsaster and in that time he has developed the present band of 54 pieces. This is an exceptional growth in numbers but is no greater than the advance in quality, for last year the band won the distinction of being the second best Class B high school band in the state. James Woodburn was chosen drum-major early in the year and has been successful with the marching band, which varies around 40 in number. This band played at several football games and displayed better style than in previous years. The engagements of the full band have included many assembly programs, the dedication of the Edison School, the senior play, and commencement. The officers for this year are Proctor McGeachy, assistant director; James Bolin, secretary-treasurer; William Lindenmuth, manager and Carl Vandercook, librarian. The main numbers included in the year’s work were “Light CavaJry” and “Poet and Peasant” overtures, by F. Von Suppe, “Overture from Villiam Tell”, by Rossini, Yelva Overture”, by Reissiger, “Overture Youth Triumph- ant”, by Henry Hadley, and rr tny other popular marches.

The orchestra as well as Miss McManus, instructor, held high hopes of winning the annual state contest in which they were so handicapped last year by Miss McManus’s illness, and were much disappointed when it was made known that they would not compete. At the 1931 district contest in Ypsilanti. Robert Zahnow, student director, filled the place of Miss McManus, and at the finals in Lansing Morris Goldenlnirgh. musical director of Western High School, Detroit, directed. Roth did well, for the short time th y worked with the group, by winning second in the district and third in the finals re- spectively. Though not attending the 1932 contests, the orchestra has worki d on the numbers from which the required pieces will be chosen. They are the first movement of Mozart’s “G Minor Symphony”, '‘Overture of the Magic Flute”, by Mozart, “Valse des Fleurs” from Tschaikowsky’s “Nut Cracker Suite”, and the “Peer Gynt Suite”, by Grieg. B: sides these they have studied L’Arlesienne Suite”, by Bizet. Ballet Egyptien”, by Luigini, Parade of the Woodt'n Soldiers’”, and Victor Herbert’s “American Fantasy”. Most of these and many others have been enjoyed at the orchestra’s appearances. It has played at the all-school and senior .plays, the dedication of the Edison School, at the Dearborn Inn for the community fund drive, and several other places. DI N€€R THE LATIN PAPER Back Row: Aldrich, Bruegemann Front Row: Dasher, M. Owen, J. (advh-er), Rlack. I links Under the efficient editorship of Robert Hitiks the high school Latin department’s publication. Tunc et Nunc, entered its third successful year of publication, and, according to the editor, the paper is gaining in popularity. Joyce Black and William Higgs were chosen from the advanced Latin Class as assistant editors. Reporters and typists were selected by the editing staff and the adviser to assist in the gathering and preparation of material for the paper. As in former years, the paper bears the name of Tunc et Nunc which in English, means then and now, and refers to the contents of the paper, which is made up of articles and stories on ancient Roman customs and events and on current news in the Latin world of today, together with information con- cerning the Latin students' activities. The very first edition of the paper was an eight page mimeographed monthly for which a small subscription fee was charged. The next year, however, the size of the paper was cut down, its appearance greatly im- proved, it was published semi-annually, printed by the school printing de- partment, and, what is more, the paper was free for the asking. This year’s issues retain the same characteristics as to size and appearance, and in sym- pathy with the current lull in trade, the paper is still free to those seeking it. The first issue was published in December, and the staff hopes to have the second ready in June. DEBATING TEAM Back Row: Hall Wilford Front Row: Strand, Hinks, Rhode . The question for all regular debates, as stated by the Michigan High School Debating Society was, “Resolved that the State of Michigan should enact legislation providing for compulsory unemployment insurance.” The members of Miss Sturt .’s discussion and debate class spent the first few we ks of school reading and assimilating material on the subject of unemployment. Those members of the class who wished to contest for place on the team participated in a tryout debate and the outstanding speak- ers were chosen to represent Dearborn. Barbara Strand, a veteran speaker from last year’s team, was chostn to speak first on the affirmative team; Ralph Hall a newcomer form Mis- souri, showed himself capable of good performance as second speaker; Robert Hinks. who debated last year from Sa{cnd Heart School of Dearborn, was named third, and the alternate position was given to Alice Rhodes. This team upheld the affirmative side of the quqstion against North- ville and emerged victorious. The same debaters were less fortunate in their next affirmative contest, when they lost the d cision of the judge. After Christmas vacation the Dearborn side changed to the negative and the personnel of the team was changed for the negative debates, Bar- bara Strand being replaced by Alice Rhodes and Ralph Hall by Jerome Wil- ford, while Robert Hinks retained his position. These debaters won from Lincoln Park and lost a close battle to St. Theresa, failing to qi alify for the elimination series and ending their season. During the year practice debates were held with schools in the met- ropolitan district to prepare the team for the league contests. DI«N€€Q LIBRARY STAFF Back Row: Alien, Holl'ngsworth, L. Roth, Pardee, Woolley, A. Dapprich Front Row: Garrison, F. Rrown. Bock. Plowfield (adviser), K. Stmard, Derr. A library Course is offered to students from the ninth grade t p. Stu- dents who take it work under the supervision of Miss Plowfield, the school librarian, and Lela Woolley, her assistant. When the student is taking this course for the first time, she becomes an apprentice and is required to work in the work room for one semester. Here she prepares herself and gains knowledge that enables her to progress to desk-duty during the second term. She learns how to bind books, prepare books for library use and file magazine articles, and cut out material from magazines, that will be of use in the different fields of training. The second semester the apprentice, with the librarian’s consent, takes care of the library desk. Here she charges out books to students and sup- ervises during the hour she is there, and also gives general information. Both boys and girls are encouraged to take the work if interested. Credits are given in the course as it is regarded as one of the subjects from which students may choose. Those who enter as apprentices receive activity credits, while academic credits are given to thosg who progress to library supervision and desk duty. A % credit is given to students working in the librarfy from 4:00 to 4:30. Miss Plowfield has arranged a series of tests and library lessons which the students must do in order to receive better grades. The one half hour meeting which the staff members had to attend once a week was discontinued this year, because some students leave at 3:00, while others leave at 4:00. ORANGE AND BLACK Back Row: Lynch. K. Moore, F. Stacey. Pardee. S. Bird. V. Brown, Sutton Front Row: M. Sagar, H. Davis, Hosmer, F. Brown, I. Mauerhoff, Hess. I he Orange and Mack staff published 16 copies of the paper during the first semester. The Christmas issue, with a cover designed in black and gold, earned many favorable comments. It contained an interview with Mr. Henry Ford, the only one he granted during that period, interesting letters from graduates, and linoleum cuts made by junior high school pupils. The first semester staff started with 16 members, later diminishing to 13. During the autumn the group visited Amherstburg, the oldest settlement in upper Canada. Captain Matthew Rlliott’s house, the place in which the Indian Chief. Techumseh. slept when he visited Captain Elliott, and Simon Girty’s grave, all of which are near Amhersthurg. Three members, Sylvia Bird, Mary Jean Pardee and Feme Brown, were recommended bv the adviser to the Quill and Scroll Society. All Orange and Black issues since Oct. 1 were entered in the All-American Critical Service. The second semester staff was entirely new except for two members, Vaughn Brown and Mary Jane Pardee, who were reappointed as business manager and editor, respectively. The other members are Kenneth Foust, assistant editor; Frank Aldrich, sports; Louise Roth, exchanges, and Joyce Black, circulation. The reporters are Betty Bryant, Don Simpson. Rirth Sandusky, Margaret Hoppin, Mildred Sievert, and Katheryn Watson. DI N€€R BOYS' CLEE CLUB Back Row: Hayes, D. Bock, J. Woodburn, A. Twork, Sellmau, R. Loudon Middle Row: Koch (adviser), M. Carnell, R. Ellstrom, Forbes, A. Lundquist, R. Kctchum, Hinks Front Row: S. Smith, McGuire, Johnston, MorrJS, G. Miller, Roach. The new interest in vocal music that has bqen stimulated in the last two years by Mr. Koch is very apparent in the Boys’ Glee Club, it having grown from a comparatively small organization to the present membership of 38. It has done much as a unit though its part in the mixed chorus is equally im- portant. The schedule is so arranged that both the Boys' and Girls’ Glee clubs have classes two days a week by themselves and three days together forming the chorus. Filling the engagements of the boys’ group and thost of the whole chorus has made the boys the busiest organization in the music department. They have filled many invitations, including programs for the Pontiac Ex- change Club, Presbyterian Church, meetings at the Dearborn Inn, and school assemblies, and in connection with the chorus have had many more. Three outstanding programs were given by the chorus. On Christmas Eve it sang an impressive midnight mass at Ypsilanti and later a progra,m at the Metho- dist Church in Ann Arbor. Mr. Koch and the chorus were honored March 19, in providing the background of the high school voices that assisted the Ypsi- lanti Normal Choir in presenting the “Passion of St. Matthew.” Mr. Koch worked in conjunction with Mr. Fredrick Alexander, director of the con- servatory of music at the Normal School, in presenting the chorale. Dearborn this vear did not compete in the annual district and state music contests, in both of which the ’31 Glee Club won first places. PIONEER STAFF Back Row: P. McGeachy, R. Champney, Frutchey Middle Row: Reimer, Durham, Aldrich, V. Brown, F. Fisher Front Row: Saunders, J. Black, J. Randazzo, Wendt, S. Bird, I. Mauerhoff, Hess.. With the appointment in the spring of Marion Saunders as editor and Vaughn Brown as business manager, plans for the 1932 Pioneer were under way before last year’s book was issued. Contracts, too, were let at that time, and with the appointment of the remaining staff members in the fall every- thing was set for actual work. “Dearborn,Pioneer in Education ’was the theme chosen for The Pioneer. An art staff composed of Fred Fisher as art editor. Damon Frutchey, and Grace Wendt immediately set to work and turned out some very excellent material for the book, which was dedicated to Mr. Adams. The business man- ager, Vaughn Brown, started work early and made a record which would have been admirable even in normal times. Some of the annual’s best pho- tography, a decided improvement over previous work, was done this year by the Arthur Studio. The photographic work itself was begun with the taking of the scenic views of the school and campus in the fall when they were at their prettiest. The first of the group pictures were efficiently taken in the fall, more being taken ip less time than in previous years. The remaining few groups were finished in April. But only through the careful work and cooper- ation of the adviser, the editor, the faculty, the photographers, the engravers, the printing department, the typing department, and of the entire staff is such a book as The Pioneer made possible. A copy of the annual was submitted to the National Critical Service, but the results of this are not known yet. A few changes are evident in this edition of The Pioneer. The most noticeable is the new style stiff cloth cover made up in school colors, which presents a pleasing appearance and a change from the old. Another is found in the addition of the Washington Bicentennial page, which is made up of pho- tographs of the Wainington pageant which was presented by the junior high under the direction of the history deparment. DI«N€€f) GIRLS' Gl.EE Cl.LH Bafck Row: R. Griffin. E. McDonald. Wright. M. Owen. Romaine, M. Haigh. S. Bovili, C. Dates, Mczey Middle Row: E. Standard, Dasher, E. Ford, I.. Roth, O. Haigh, B. Strand, U. Griffin. LeMaster, Edmunds Front Row: Bo’den, Nutt, Maples, V. Bargert, McManus, (director), V. Loudon, A. Fisher, P. Carnell, F. McComb. The Girls' Glee Club, which is under the direction of Miss McManus, was organized eight years ago. Each year it has become larger. There are 31 members, 17 of whom are new this year, while there were only 17 members last year. The Girls’ Glee Club has officers the same as any club. The officers are Clarabell Dates, president; Jane Perry, secretary-treasurer; Betty LeMaster and Sara Bovill, librarians. The Girls’ Glee Club and Boys’ Glee Club meet together on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays under the direction of Mr. Koch. On Tuesdays and Thursdays the groups meet separately. The girls have not sung out in public as much as usual this year because more time was spent on sight reading and vocal drill rather than on learning songs. They made their first appearance when they sang in senior high as- sembly in April . None of the music groups entered music contests this year. In the Mich- igan State Music Contest which the Girls’ Glee Club entered last year the group won second place at the preliminaries and third place at the state con- test. Unfortunatly, because of her illness. Miss McManus was not able to go to the contest with the group. A good Glee Club is expected next year, also, for only seven members will graduate this Tune. SENIOR PLAY Back Row: H. Smith, J. Cook, Reitner, R. Kllstrom, Greenland (director). Loudon. Hinks, W. Higgs, F. Lcvagood Front Row: C. Hayes, J. Rlack, M. Haigh, Pardee, F. Neisler, Perry, L. Roth, West. LeMaster, Merritt. “Merton of the Movies” was the senior production given in March under the direction of Mr. Greenland, aided by Miss Sturtz. Gordon Smith played the leading role of a small town boy who aspired to be a dramatic actor in Hollywood, but by accident became a slapstick comedy star. The large supporting cast consisted of Betty LeMaster. a movie double who guided Merton; Louise Roth, his small town sweetheart; Mary Jean Pardee, an actress; Mary Louise Haigh, a landlady in Hollywood; Joyce Black, a casting di- Gordon Smith rector; Dorothy West, a beautiful but dumb actress; James Cook. Merton’s employer in his home town; Robert Hinks, the part of a friend, which was played by Ralph Ellstrom in the afternoon; William Higgs, aln old and seasoned actor; Hardwick Smith, a loud director; Murray Mer- ritt. a studio employee; Cleveland Hayes, the slapstick comedy king; Robert Loudon, a handsome actor: Alex Sutherland, a rival producer: Earl Reimer. a cameraman, and Floyd Levagood. the musician. Marion Saunders had charge of the properties. Others on the commit- tee were Marion Hamilton. Josephine Randaz .o. and John Black. The extra scenery needed which consisted of a ship’s bow-, and shelves in a country store was painted as an art project by Lee Adair, Ingrid Hagel- thorn. Chandler Simonds, and Glen Miller. (ane Perry and Fanny Neisler prompted. Miss Betts and Mrs. Pletcher took care of the make-up. Vaughn Brown had charge of the publicity. DI N€€D NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Back Row: W. Higgs, Hinks, Reimer Front Row: Perry, Pardee, J. Black. Saunders. The first four members of this year’s class to be taken into the National Honor Society last June were Marion Saunders, Mary Jean Pardee, Earl Reimer, and William Higgs. They were chosen by the faculty as the outstand- ing in scholarship, leadership, service, and character. At the same time the last group from the 1931 graduating class, Betty Wallace, Dorothy Paterson, Tames Currie, and Gretchen Wessinger, were initiated. In February the four candidates were Jane Perry, Joyce Black, Gordon Smith, and Robert Hinks. Four more seniors and four juniors will be chosen for the June initiation, making 53 members in the Dearborn Chapter since the charter was granted in 1928. A new ritual was composed for the Dearborn High School ceremony which was first usecj a year ago. Four members in academic garb signifying the standards, character, scholarship, leadership, and service, recite respect- ively “If,” a guotation from the Bible, “Opportunity,” and “Abou Ben Ad- hem.” The candidates write their name on a parchment scroll with a quill. Mr. Hood gives the presentation speech. Miss Betts, the sponsor, is trying to obtain the signatures of all the early members. Alberta Stutsman, ’28, made sketches of the complete ritual so that it may be submitted to the officials for the National Honor Society Manual. QUILL AND SCROLL Back Row: Pardee, Bird Front Row: F. Brown, Saunders, Stutsman. Until the mid-semester election. Pioneer chapter the Quill and Scroll was believed to be the smallest in the country, consisting of two members. Marion Saunders and Rebecca Stutsman. Quill and Scroll is an international honorary society for high school journaiists. It was founded by several of the outstanding newspaper leaders of the United States, to reward good creative writing in high school. This is the third year Dearborn High has had a chapter of the Qull and Scroll, with Mr. Martin as the adviser. Feme Brown, Mary Jean Pardee and Sylvia Bird are the new members who were initiated into the chapter in an honor assembly at the end or the first semes- ter. The pins were presented by Mr. Hood, and the new members were pre- sented with bouquets of flowers by the Orange and Black. The requirements for the society are mainly that the students must be either juniors or seniors, in the upper third of their class, and be recommended by the adviser. They are also graded in character and scholarship, and the journalistic work done during the semester must be passed by the judges. The society, represented by Marion Saunders, takes care of the bulletin boards on the main floor. Many attractive and up-to-date articles and pic- tures have been posted. During the Washington Bicentennial celebration many pictures and articles illustrating his life were exhibited for the benefit of students. Many humorous snapshots from old Pioneers were also posted during the great rush while the senior pictures were being taken. Posters of coming events are also to be found there. At this writing it is believed that the June election of Quill and Scroll members will have the largest number of candidates that Dearborn has ever had. DI N€€f} ALL-SCHOOL PLAY Back Row: Lindemuth, Johnston, Simpson, Greenland (director), Le Master, H. Smith, J. Cook Front Row: Saunders, Moore, West, Roth, Pardee, O. HaiRh, J. Black, Stutsman. “Old Man Minick by Edna Kerber and George S. Kaufman was chosen as the all-school play which was given in November. This year there were two directors from the English department, Mr. Greenland and Mr. Rider, who were assisted hv the prompters, Retty Le Master, and Louise Roth. There was an all-star cast with the leads taken by William Lindenmuth as Old Man Minick”, Gordon Smith and Mary Jean Pardee as his son and daughter-in-law, who were well supported by Olive Haigh and James Johns- ton as Mrs. and Mr. Janies Corey, devoted friends of the younger Minicks. Also members of the same crowd were A1 and Marge Diamond, portrayed bv Hardwick Smith and Dorothy West, Old Man Minick” had some most amus- ing cronies by the name of Mr. Dietenhofer and Mr. Price, played by James Cook and Donald Simpson. In the second act Mrs. Minick entertained her club at home, the mem- bers of which were acted by Marion Saunders. Rebecca_Stutsman, Katherine Moore, and Joyce Black. Miriam Wright and Lillie Simms played the part of the maids who succeeded each other in the Minick household. The character of Minick, a lovable old man, was a most difficult one to portray, especially for a high school student, and was unusually well done. Bill deserves special credit. The hand played for the matinee performance and the orchestra in the evening. A profit of $150 was made. SENIOR DANCE ORCHESTRA Front Row: A. Bray, J. Black, A. Laura, H. Smith, P, McGeachy, R. Hinks. The dance orchestra, this year, proved to he one of the busiest and most successful organizations in the school. Its original object was that of playing for senior matinee dances, the individuals thereby partly earning their Wash- ington trips, but taking the dances out of the seniors’ hands, and many out- side engagements, turned their interest away from the matinees. However, in the latter part of the year, dances were given on an average of twice a month and the orchestra members profited towards their trips as they would have under senior sponsorship. They also played for the carnival dance, the annual Christmas party, given.the last day before Christmas vacation, and as- sembly programs. Through the appearances at school the group became known through- out the city. It played at many dances at the Maonic Temple, Oxford School, Oddfellows’ Hall, and at Wayne High School. Out of the 1931 orchestra, the first successful organization of its kind in the school, three members remained to continue the 1932 group: John Black, bass: Albert Bray, sax: and Proctor McGeachy, trumpet. The three new members, also seniors, are Robert Hinks, piano; Allison Laura, sax; and Hardwick Smith, drums. All of the members are prominent in the school music department as well as in their dance work. They are to be congratul- ated on the marked improvement they have made over the orchestra of 1931 and the many pleasurable dances they have made possible for the student body. ✓ DI«N€€R NATIONAL FORENSIC LEAGUE Back Row: Aldrich, R. Hall, Wilford, Hinks Front Row: Derr, Wyman, Howser (coach), A. Rhodes. A chapter of The National Forensic League, the honor society for high school speech workers, was organized here two years ago for the purpose of stimulating interest in dehate and oratory hy offering suitable recognition for successful participation in those activities. The league emblem, a key, is awarded to those who have obtained 10 points according to a complicated system of scoring for activity in the fields of debating, oratory, declamation and extempore speaking. The National Forensic League awards the right of wearing the key to debaters, just as the athlete receives a school letter for his efforts. The Dearborn chapter is now composed of eight active members, Bar- bara Strand, president; Helen Derr, secretary; Elsie Wyman. Alice Rhodes. Ralph Hall, Robert Hinks, Jerome Wilford and Frank Aldrich. Of this group Rhodes, Hinks and Hall, members of the debating team, were admitted this spring, while Wyman. Strand and Aldrich became members last year. Dor- othy Paterson, now a post-graduate, also earned her key last year. Helen Derr is the only charter member now attending Dearborn High School. When Dearborn petitioned for a charter in 1930. the chapter was composed of Ev- elyn Wright, ’30; Malcolm Frutchey, '30; James McLellan, ’30; Ruth Hensick, ’31 , and Helen Derr ’32. Evelyn Wright won the sub-district oratory two vears ago just as Robert Hinks did this year. When one is admitted to the National Forensic League with 10 points he automatical has the Degree of Merit. In order to keep the student inter- ested in forensic contests after he becomes a member, the league offers ad- vanced degrees to work for. crinariigatiaruL • DI� N€€R ALPHA BETA TAU Hack Row: R. Champnv.y, W. Newkirk, G. Worden. A. 1 work, H. Petersen Middle Row: G. Miller, K. Parkhur.-t, Foster, Morr s. Adair. Front Row: L. Meyer (adviser), J. Black, F. Aldr'ch, Hutchinson, E. I-ucas, Villaire, S. Smith. The Alpha Beta Tan, sponsored by Louis Meyer, mathematics teacher, has as its staff of officers only athletes. Dali Hutchinson, a member of the football, basketball, and tennis teams, is president. John Black acts as vice- president and is in the same three sports as the president. For secretary the club has Earl Lucas, who was captain of the 1931-2 basketball team and a member of the baseball team. The treasurer. Frank Aldrich, was a member of the football squad, but due to an injury received during the season he was unable to go out for basketball. When he fully recovered he became a mem- ber of the baseball squad. The club with its 15 members was organized three years ago as an athletic club and has since that time donated a score board to the gym and bought a ping pong table which is kept in school for tournaments. This year the club appointed members to find all likely candidates for their specific sport and to encourage them to keep up their studies thus eliminating as much as possible the number of ineligibles. The club aims to do something in the line of sports to help the school. A cheering section was tried at the basket- ball games, but the club could not carry it out because most of the members were on the basketball squad. Several parties were held by the club, one of which was at Dali Hutch- inson’s home. The club’%. annual dance could not he given in April because there were too many activities during that month. FRENCH CLUB Back Row: Hainl’ne (adviser). R. Hamilton. R t It fuss. A. Anderson, So:lin 'cr. M. Allen, E. Sutherland Front Row: Culp, Lyman, A. Abbot, Armstron Maucrhoff, M. Bitely. French plays a large part in our daily career. It was founded on the Latin of the Old Romans by the Northmen who invaded France in Chbrle- magne’s time. Before this time the kings had used the German language. It wias not until the end of the tenth century that “France had a French King.” Today French is an important language. French art and music are also in common use the world over. One becomes acquainted with reading and conversation. It is convenient to know the meaning of foreign words without having to go to the dictionary to look them up. The French Club helps students to become interested in this country. The group was not organized as a game club until three years ago. After all, one can become acquainted with French culture through amuse- ments. There are many games that the students play during their monthly meetings. Among them are “Jeu de Nombres” and “Loto . two games which help pupils to learn French numbers. Another is “Jeu des Heures”. which familiarizes one in telling time. Other amusements are Attx Quartre Coins”, and “Le Pani.er aux Fruits” which correspond to our English games “Pussy in the Corner” and “Basket Upset”. The sponsor of the “Le Cercle Francais” is Miss Louise Mainline. There are 13 members enrolled with Betty Hamilton, president; Alice Abbott, vice- president; Kathryn Lyman, secretary, and Margaret Culp, treasurer. D� N€€R SCKAP HOOK CLUB Back Row: Pinnow, M. Boyer, D. Wilson, J. Tliiede, L. Stra th. Kennedy, J. Camp- bell Front Row: L. Hcbestreit, R. Sievert, Barth, D. Roach, Edwards, V. Roescr, Wol- kins (adviser). The Scrap Book Club is sponsored by Miss Wolkins, with a membership of 18 students. The officers of the group are Shirley Gehle, president; Myrtle Helwig, vice-president, and Violet Roeser, secretary-treasurer. The club was organized the second semester of last year, with Laverne Straith, president; Dorothy Pinnow, vice-president, and Donna Mae Roach, secretary-treasurer. It is the first club of its kind in the high school, and is a junior high club. The object of the group is to put in permanent form pictures and clippings which the student wishes to save to make a scrap book. The most popular material used for the books is pictures of movie stars. However, there were some very unusual ones. Margaret Bowver made a scrap book of cartoons, and another member of the club made one of a collection of material for the advertisements of Campbell Soup. At the reg- ular monthly meetings, the members paste pictures in their book and work on covers for them. They intetid to make a display of the books at the end of the semester. A hike and a party, before school is out, are being planned, although prior to this, thev had not participated in many activities of this sort. Miss Wolkins, being interested in making scrap books, has made three, so far, and has enough material for more. The material is a collection of things valued by her. Her first scrap book covers her life in high school, the second, her first two years in college, and the third, her present life of teaching. The next scrap book she will make will be of the rest of her col- lege life, and the most valuable one of all will be the one of her Alaskan trip. LIBRARY CLUB Back Row: Ellicott, D.

The Library Club has grown front a membership of 12 to 26 in the three years of its existence under the sponsorship of Miss Plowfield. the school librarian. The organization has had many interesting activities. The meet- ings are held once a month and only students of senior high school are el- igible to become members. The club elected Feme Brown, president: Max- ine Hollingsworth, vice-president, and Marion Butts, secretary-treasurer. The object of the organization is to learn more about travel and im- portant current books fry discussion. Mr. Martin, a member of the faculty, spoke about his trip to Boston this summer, during one of the meetings. Another important project which the club has done every year and did again this year, is to donate two large baskets of food to needy families. Each member of the club contributes his share to fill the basket. The club has enjoyed two parties this year, a Halloween party at the home of Feme Brown, at which Valla Garrison, Ruth Griffin. Una B. Griffin. Lois Burgess, and June Evans, new members, were initiated, and a Christmas partv which was held in the library. Gifts were exchanged by the members and the club presented Miss Plowfield a lovely gift. During the second semester Maxine Hollingsworth was elected presi- dent of the club because Feme Brown, the former president, was initiated into the Girl Reserves. They also had outside speakers talk at their meet- ings on topics of literature and travel. 193 2 D� N€€[) HI-Y CLUB Back Row: Merritt. J. Woodburn. Laura. I). Pike, Sellnian, G. Smith. R. El'istrom. D. Roach Front Row. Koch (adviser), Parkhurst, C. Simonds, Bray. I links, R. Loudon, P. McGeachy, V. Brown, Durham. The Hi-Y, a branch of the Young Men’s Christian Association, continued this year as one of the most active organizations in Dearborn High School. The members not only met during the regular activity period, but held meet- ings the second and fourth Mondays of each month. Harold Koch, voice instructor, acted as faculty sponsor, while Gordon Smith was chosen president; Proctor McGeachy, vice-president: Vaughn Brown, secretary, and Kenneth Parkhurst, treasurer. The members also elected Donald Pike to act as sergeant-at-arms and Chandler Simonds as rec- reation comissioner. The new pledges for this vear. Everett Durham. Murray Merritt, Ralph Ellstrom. Robert Loudon, and Robert Hinks. underwent an informal initiation of several days’ duration, which ended in the formal ceremony at Mr. Koch’s home. After the initiation, a dinner dance was held at Northwood Inn to honor the new members. The Hi-Y Club enjoyed many activities throughout the year. A Hal- loween party proved to be successful. In the fall Mr. Koch acquired the use of a cottage on Silver Lake and the Hi-Y boys spent an eventful weekend there. Several stag parties were held in the winter and early spring at the home of Mr. Koch, while another enjoyable evening was spent at the Dearborn Inn. After supper the members held a ping pong tournament to decide who woidd represent the Hi-Y in a contest with the Alpha Beta Tau Club. The two organizations also competed with each other in bowling. The Hi-Y is now composed mainly of seniors, and new members must be admitted to form a nucleus for next year’s club. Plans are well under way for the admission and initiation of new pledges this spring. GIRL RESERVES Back Row: A. Rhodes, F. Stacey. Austin, M. Hamilton. West, I,. Roth, Par.lee, K. Moore, K. Watson Front Row: Soper, J. Lewis, Saunders, J. Black, McIntosh, B. Bryant. The Dearborn Chapter of the Girl Reserves was organized in February. 1931, with 20 charter members and Mrs. Fletcher, the adviser. At the end of the year there were 38 members, 12 of whom were this year’s seniors and four juniors. Last fall these girls started the year with Joyce Black, presi- dent ; Louise Roth, vice-president: Avis Soper, recording secretary; Dorothy West, corresponding secretary; Marion Hamilton, treasurer, and Mary Jean Pardee, inter-club councilor. The girls decided to have etiquette the theme of the monthly school meetings. Each month they held a social meeting also, one of which was a breakfast in the cafeteria. The first of February, 16 new members were taken into the club at a dinner held in the cafeteria. These girls are Annette Fisher, Carlys Wilkin- son. Althea Reynolds. Bertha Morehouse. Sylvia Bird. Feme Brown, Jane Perry, Fanny Neisler, Betty Hamilton, Hazel Rhodes, Margaret Owen. Rebec- ca Stutsman, Eleanor Stanard, Margaret Hoppin, Ruth Sandusky, and Clara- belle Dates. Harriette Hatch transferred from Iowa to the Dearborn Girl Re- serve Chapter. Another group of girls will be taken in at the end of the year. All the girls in the National Honor Society in the 1931 and 1932 classes have been Girl Reserves. Twelve wear Quill and Scroll pins. The four girls in the senior play last year were Girl Reserves, and four more took part this year. Nine of last year’s Pioneer staff belonged to the club and four of this year’s. Frances Bryant, who was salutatorian and received the highest honors cup in 1931, was a Girl Reserve as was Marion Davis, 1931 president. DI N€€D HOYS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLUB Back Row: Koppitsch, O.

Anderson. Van Steenis, E. Pike, G. Levagood, Lundquist, R. Neisler, D. Bird. Continuing into its third year of existence, the Hoys’ Physical Education Club remains one of the school’s largest and most popular junior high clubs for boys. Since the school enrollment was rapidly increasing and many junior high students were interested in pursuits closely following those of the phys- ical education department, it was thought advisable to establish a club. Con- sequently the Boys’ Physical Education Club was organized under the super- vision of Mr. McIntyre in September, 1929, for the purpose of furthering the ideas of thf physical education department and to develop sportsmanship and leadership in its members. In its first year the club was composed of twenty-eight active members from the junior high.. Last year the member- ship dropped somewhat and in this, its third year, the club has an enrollment of about thirty students. At their first meeting, the members reelected Carl Smith as their presi- dent, while Henrv McLain was elected vice-president: Richard Stanard, secretary, and George Levagood, treasurer. Besides the regular scheduled monthly meetings, the club holds many outside meetings and has had several parties at which everyone present had a good time. One of the group’s projects was the institution by club members of a system of ushering at athletic contests. This proved to be a success and a help. It is hoped that the club will continue its work. SINFONIA CLUB Back Row: A. Fisher, B. Strand, McKay, McGuire, W. Ochs, F. Levagood, M. Jones, E. McDonald, C. Dates Middle: G. Meyers, D. Black, Lindenniuth, Otis, Forbes, L. Hill, Hitter, Zahnow, M. Ware. Front: McCormick. Reinhart, Wright, McManus (adviser), Hinks, Romaine, F.Car- nell, V. Loudon, M. Fiske. The officers in charge of the club this year are Floyd Levagood, pres- ident and Bill Hitter, vice-president. Floyd and Bill both play violins in the first section of the orchestra. The two secretaries, Virginia Penrod and Betty LeMaster are in the high school chorus and the treasurer’s office is filled by Orlen Zahnow, a drummer in the orchestra. A program chairman is appointed each month by the officers, and he in turn selects his committee. It is the duty of this chairman to prepaire entertainment for the meeting of the month. The meetings are usually musical and the persons performing are from the school. If the chairman fails to prepare a program for his meet- ing. he is punished by the club. The Sinfonia Club was organized in 1928 by Miss McManus and a group of students interested in music. The word sinfonia means a harmony of tones. Thus the club aims to create harmony between the different music- al organizations and to have a better appreciation and sympathy for the music groups. The club also tries to obtain a broader and deeper knowledge of music. Each year the club, with the help of the orchestra, sends one or two pupils to the national orchestra camp. They are chosen from the high school orchestra by the music department and are voted on by members of the or- chestra. There will be but one student sent to camp this year. Evelyn Ains- worth will have the horior of representing Dearborn High School. The club raises money for sending the pupil to camp in many different ways. D� N€€R MIKING CLUB Back Row: M. Gardner, C.

The Hiking Club is divided into two groups, one under the supervision of Mrs. Smith and the other under the direction of Miss Doolittle. Mrs. Smith’s group has the greatest enrollment, with 28 members. Florence Spen- cer is the president: Aranka Keleman. vice-president: Rhunette Paul, secre- tarv . and Ruth Young, treasurer. Numerous hikes have been taken, which enable the girls to get better accpiainted with nature, and stimulate an appreciation of the out-of-doors. The club was organized in 1929, and has enabled the girls to earn points to- wards their “D’s”. For each mile hike five points toward a letter are given. They have taken numerous hikes and some of the girls have almost won their letters. Virginia Morehouse leads the list with 308 points towards her “D”, which is ecpial to 61 3-5 miles. Henrietta Bryant, Mauretta Bryant, and Rhunette Paul are next with 283 points or 56 3-5 miles. The third highest is Katherine Bolden with 228 points, or 45 3-5 miles. During the meetings held at the regular club period Mrs. Smith’s groups went on hikes or planned for parties. With Bertha Morehouse as leader, many of the girls spent their Saturday in hiking, on one occasion go- ing to Flat Rock. After returning from the trip, which registered 37 miles on the pedometer, the girls stopped at Ingeborg Mauerhoff’s home where they were served refreshments. The group visited Fordson High School another Saturday. Three girls blazed a trail on Van Born Road for a hike after school. They ate their supper in the woods before returning. The two groups work individually. ART CLUB Back Row: C. Davis, LaMarsh, Tcwsley, G. Mills, A. Carnell, Thiel, J. McEacliern, K. Luce, P. Barker, D. McEachern Middle Row: Lee Smith, J.

Eschelback, Whiting, Hatch (adviser), Wendt, B. Miller, V. Bargert, P. Meyers, B. Hagelthorn. The Senior High Art Club and the Junior High Art Club with Mrs Hatch as adviser inaugurated a new system this year by having their pictures taken as one group. Two presidents, Jane Perry and Jack Burwell, were elected for the senior high club. Betty Miller and Mary Ellen Brown were chosen secretary and treasurer respectively. The Junior High Art Club followed the example of the Senior High Club a'nd elected two presidents also. They were Dorothy McEachern and Ted Oelkers. Mildred Meddle was chosen secretary and John McEachern treas- urer. The clubs have meetings once every third week during club periods. Once a month the two clubs meet together from 7 o’clock to 8:30 o’clock in the art room. They have a regular business meeting during which the min- utes are read and old and new business is taken up. and then they are allowed to do as they please. Some work on leather craft and others draw. During the seasons in which the weather permits, the members of the clubs go on hikes to get subject matter for their sketches and other works of art. Parties are held at the homes of members at various times. Grace Wendt and Damon Frutchey have done creditable work on this year’s Pioneer in addition to the work Fred Fisher has accomplished in fur- nishing the sketches for the 1932 yearbook and those preceding it. Others of the club have exhibited material in the show cases at the main entrance. 193 2 D� N€€R GIRL SCOUTS, TROOP 1 Back Row: Taft, B. Owens, S. Bovili, M. Haigh, P. Snow, Marshall Middle Row: B.

The girls held a Halloween and a St. Patrick party and had an excellent time at a Valentine box social. The most enjoyed event was a week end trip to the Irish Hills last fall. Other events enjoyed by the girls were a tnlarsh- mallow roast, a pot luck supper at Ford Field, an overnight hike to River Rouge Park, a bicycle hike, a roller skating party and the annual overnight hike which this vear vas a gypsy trip . At Christmas time the troop sang Christmas carols around town. The girls have not only been active in a social way but have been active in welfare work also.

As is the subject of all Girl Scout Troops, the object of this group is to create a healthful character bulilding atmosphere for the present and to help prepare themselves to live better and fuller lives in the future. The girls have done this through a program of outdoor activities, household activties. and simple handicraft. The slogan of Girl Scouts is, “Do a Good Turn Daily” 3|nd the motto is, “Be prepared for all things at all times”. The emblem of the Girl Scout Troop is the goldenrod. The girls enjoyed many social times together. They held a dance this spring which was well attended. A good time was had at a marshmallow roast held in the woods near Edison School.

The girls passed their tenderfoot test and received their pins at a pro- gram held in the auditorum late in the fall. One of the most enjoyable times the troop had was at a Christmas party held at the home of Marjorie Strand. The evening was spent in playing games, after which a delicious lunch was served. To celebrate the two hundredth birthday anniversary of George Wash- ington the girls held a George Washington celebration in the auditorium in February. A short program, after which dixies were served, featured the celebration.

Sutherland, Johnston. D. Merryman, J. Little. The College Club, with an enrollment of 54 members, was the largest organization in school this year. It was supervised by Mr. Grophear and Mr. Martin. Clare Williams was elected president by the club members while Milton Parrish was chosen vice-president and Alex Sutherland was given the posi- tion of secretary-treasurer. The object of the club is to help and advise the student as to what col- lege he should attend and which one is best for the profession he wishes to enter. The object is also to let the student know something about college while he is still in high school and prepare him for what is expected of him in college. To bring out this point, outside speakers have been chosen by a program committee consisting of Edna Bartel, Elsie Wyman, Clare Wil- liams and Milton Parrish. A very interesting talk on the University of Mich- igan was given by Miss Olimpia LaMarca, a graduate of this school and of the university. She talked about the students' attitude toward college and of what is expected of the student in college. Mr. Brown, a faculty member, also spoke about the university while Mr. Martin spoke on colleges in general. The subjects were open to discussion after the speakers were through and great interest was shown by the members during the discussion. Slides of the University were obtained by Alex Sutherland and during one of the meetings Mr. Grophear explained them to the members. Rebecca Stutsman and Eleanor Stanard were the only members to leave the club in February because they were asked to join the Girl Reserves. 193 2 DI N€€R CAMPFIRE GIRLS Back Row: Warrick (guardian), Greenhoe, W. Miller, I. Lewis, B. Mller, K. Grandy, M. Derr, B. Dewar, Caris (guardian) Front Row: M. Smith, Merryman, Ristow, J. Robertson, Manchester, I. M. Robbins, V. Neeley,, N. Robertson. The Campfire Group is under the sponsorship of Mrs. Margaret M ar- rick and Mrs. Lorene Caris. Eighteen members are enrolled in the club with Ruth Manchester as president; Ivah Lewis as vice-president; Audrian Merry- man as secretary, and Virginia Neeley as treasures. The Campfire Group bases its activities largely upon the life and hab- its of the Indians. The bright flame with its background of brown symbolize its colors. The girls’ motto is “Wohelo” meaning work, health, and love. The seven laws which every member strives to obey are Seek Beauty, Give Service, Pursue Knowledge, Be Trustworthy, Hold on to Health, Glorify Work, and Be Happv. The campfire work is divided into seven parts, home, nature, camp, hand craft, health, business, and citizenship. This makes it possible for each girl to work on the subject in which she is most interested. Each craft has its particular bead and when a person earns an honor, a bead is presented tr her. during the ceremonial meetings. Parties, hikes, and outdoor cooking are some of the entertainments on the girls’ schedule. The group had a Halloween party at the home of Mrs. Warrick and a combined ceremonial meeting and Christmas party at Mrs. C aris’s home. A hard time party was arranged so the girls taking their Firemaker’s Test could serve a dinner to complete the rank. In order to acquaint and interest others in Campfire, Detroit head- quarters sent an executive to Dearborn to give them a training course. The sourse lasted through the winter and was given at the Dearborn High School. • • LOVERS OF THINGS WORTHWHILE- Will appreciate the majestic beauty and Sterling performance of the NEW FORD V-8 Original in design—modern—low priced to fit to- day’s pocketbook—We will be glad to arrange a demonstration for you.

The Work Goes On ■ | Educational requirements and limitations have sel- dom been so exacting as during the past year. In- creased enrollments, curtailed building appropria- tions, heavier pupil loads and diminishing funds have hampered administrators far and wide. ■ j During this period of stress and storm Dearborn High School has met the exigencies of the times with increased service, higher standards, greater cheerfulness, and a firmer resolve to ‘beat the depression.’ The school has responded liberally to requests for welfare work, and many individual demands upon teachers have been met as well. The teaching body has continued its participation in community activ- ities with more than customary willingness, while its purchasing power has been felt by Dearborn school projects is evidence of the high standard of efficiency maintained. From the highest administrative officer to the newest instructor, every effort has been made to return to the taxpayer the highest possible invest- ment on his school dollar.

Week after week it has carried to the homes of Dearborn the chronicles of educational and social activities in Dear- born High School, and to graduates it has been a con- necting link between the school they have left and the friends they once knew. The Orange and Black raises its own funds and pays its own expenses. A worthy activity is thus maintained at no expense to the taxpayers. A nominal subscription price of twenty-five cents a semester is charged to all but students. Townspeople who are interested in their school system are invited to subscribe. Subscribe Now!
