Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1933 volume:

PUBLISHED f PPIUTED n i i i « d i HIC h si I m PEAPBCIDM M I € H 0 C iv IN J T the the HE 1933 Pioneer is dedicated to I larry A. Salisbury, who for many years has been teacher, counsellor and friend to youth of the City of Dearborn. During days that have seen the school advance in numbers and opportunities, he has pursued his accustomed way, never late and seldom absent, constant and unvaried. His life is no less an example than his work; he is univer- sally respected and admired in all his con- tacts as believing in and practicing himself the doctrine of hard work as life’s greatest aid to happiness. The Pioneer congratulates Mr. Salisbury on his long and honorable record, and wishes him many years of happiness and continued usefulness. F €)IP EW€R I N a somewhat lighter vein is this year’s Pioneer, having cast aside the more ser- ious themes of previous years for one deal- ing with the things we do today, contempor- ary life and education. In keeping with the times, as it is the custom of everyone io search for humor in the midst of hardship, so it is with the Pioneer, which in a year of de- pression has shown a sudden humorous trend and an inclination to poke fun at students and faculty, something which the dignity of for- mer years has not permitted. Because of unusual financial cond:tions ex- isting this year, every possible effort to re- trench has been made. It is because of this that a few features have been omitted from the book, and that it has been restricted to the senior high school alone. Acknowledgments are made to the art. printing and typing departments, the photo- graphers, engravers, and binders, who, with an unusually fine spirit of co-operation, have made this book possible. The captions in the scenic section are from the poems of Alfred Tennyson. 41 rt iis FACULTY SENIORS HOUSES SPORTS ACTIVITIES ORGANIZATIONS ADVERTISING Following’ Through the porch Who shall Gaze upon My palace With Unblinded Kves The folded Leaf Was green and broad 1 built it Firm The rock Rose Clear k F AC U L T Y RAY H.

Miss Skoog was sponsor of the girls and Mr. Good had charge of the bovs. During this year the boys won tin interclass basketball and foul shooting championship, while the girls did their part by becoming the basketball cham- pions for 1930. At the carnival the boys had a very haphazard booth called “Noah's Ark. The annual Freshman Frolic completed the year’s activities. In 1930 the class became the largest sophomore organization in the history of the school. The 192 members were divided into three groups under the sponsorship of Miss Betts, Miss Howser and Mr. Wetzel. The year began with a party for sophomores only, but the big event was, of course, the Sophomore Dance at which spring decorations were used. The girls performed an unusual feat for the year when they won the interclass volley ball and basketball championship a second time. Barbara Strand and Frank Aldrich upheld the honor of the class on the debating team, and became members in the Forensic League. 8arba-a had the feminine lead in the all- school play, Daddy Longlegs.” and Frank was prominent in oratory, in addition to their other activities Instead of being divided in the junior year, the class was kept in one homeroom with Miss Howser and Mr. Meyers as sponsors. This year the class also received honors, for William Lindenmuth was chosen for the leading role in the all-school play, “Old Man Minick,” and Barbara Strand and Ralph Hall were on the debating team. Barbara Strand and Frank Aldrich were elected to the National Honor Society and Sylvia Bird, Frank Aldrich, Kenneth Foust, Ruth Sandusky and Betty Bryant were chosen by Quill and Scroll. In sports, the boys won the interclass track meet. After much deliberation, the class decided to abandon the former custom of getting log cabin rings: and choose one with a modernistic design instead. The J-Hop, with bright ballon decorations, was the principal junior activity of the year. One hundred couples attended, and the class made a profit of $44.00. Later came the junior-senior banquet, done in a skyscraper motif. With Miss Howser and Mr. Klliott as advisers, and Frank Aldrich, president. Ralph Champney, vice-president, Betty Ford, secretary, and F.verett Durham, treasurer, the class began its last year of high school. During the fall and winter, many members worked hard to obtain the required number of hours for the annual Washington trip, but in the spring the class voted unanimously, after much careful discussion, to return to the students the money for that part of their trip which they had earned. Money had been earned by giving dances and the carnival, which was attended by an extraordinary large crowd, and the class had planned to make more by giving the play “Grumpy” in which Frank Aldrich had the male lead and Hazel Rhodes and Barbara Strand shared the feminine. Bill Schroeder won honor for the class bv getting one of the leads in the all-school play, “The Family Upstairs,” and Everett Durham. Ruth Sandusky, Katherine Moore, 'Iliam Schroeder, and Orlen Zahnow added more laurels by being elected to the National Honor Society. Katherine Moore and Shirley Dasher became members of the l orensic League while Arthur Stobbe successfully qualified for Quill and Stroll. Both the National Honor Society and Quill and Scroll will receive more members of the senior class in June. After the final exams came the annual senior prom, for seniors alone this year, the sen- ior vesper service, class day and commencement. Then 93 more students left Dearborn High for the serious business of life. 12B HOMEROOM G. Wilson. B. Fair. E. Bartel, O. Zahnow With the election of Orlen Zahnow, president, Glen Wilson, vice-president. Alice Abbott, secretary, and Edna Bartel, treasurer, the 12B class, then the llA’s, inaugurated the school year of 1932-’33. ,At the first of the semester there were 35 members and this number remained intact until Januarv when Beth Fair chose to enter a June graduating class. Due to the small size and the inability of in-between homerooms to make reservations this group has had but few major activities. The two main ones have been a winter junior-senior banquet for the January graduates and ush- ering at the January commencements. The junior-senior banquet was held Jan. 25 in the Presbyterian Church amid gay decorations of blue and silver which matched the place cards of blue cardboard with silver lettering. Those on the committee were Dolly Ellstrom, Beth Fair. Ruth Swanlger, Arvid Anderson, Robin Adair, and Karl Vander- cook. The commencement exercises and baccalaureate services were also under the supervision of the junior class. Edna Bartel, Elva McDonald, Alice Ab- bott, Dolly Ellstrom. Irene Hanson, and Hester Easton were the students who made the plans and ushered at commencement- The same boys who served on the banquet committee worked with the girls. Talks by faculty members were feature parts of the monthly homeroom meetings- Miss Wolkins gave an interesting talk on her trip to Alaska, and Mr. Martin gave the class members many hints for the proposed Washington trip in addition to an account of his own travels in Mexico. Several honors were won by class members in both sports and scholar- ship. Orlen Zahnow carried off the highest honors in the class by being elect- ed to the National Honor Society in the June group. 11A HOMEROOM Back row: F. Simonds, C. Kresin, K. Fremuth Front row: S. Bovili, E. Wyman, R. Sollinger, M. Rothfuss, M. Webber Margaret Webber and Clarence Kresin were presidents of the junior homerooms, sponsored by Mr. Duke and Mrs. Meyer, respectively, since the large enrollment, 125, necessitated a division of the class. Other officers in Mr. Duke’s homeroom were Ruthene Sollinger, vice-president; Marjorie Rothfuss, secretary: Elsie Wyman, treasurer: and Ford Simonds, represent- ative. Those of Mrs. Meyers were secretary, Sally Bovill; treasurer. Walter Kftson; and representative, Karl Fremuth, Robert McCloud represented both homerooms in the senate. Besides being presidents of the junior home rooms, Margaret was promin- ent in journalism and Clarence was active in debate and oration. Ruthene Sollinger, vice-president, had the position of taking charge of all home- room programs during the year. A committee incuding Virginia Penrod, Marjorie Rothfuss. Walter Kitson. Leona Bierma, Charles Sautter and Kenneth Law, chose the junior rings, which are unique because of the modernistic design. Mr. Duke’s homeroom had the distinction of presenting one of the best assembly programs given in senior high assembly. Erwin Otis directed the play “Thank You. Doctor,” in which Elsie Wyman played the leading lady and Charlotte Schmidt, Ford Simonds, Erwin Otis and Robert McCloud made up the cast. The juniors lived up to their reputation of originality in decorating their J-Hop in the hues of the rainbow. Having made a profit of $40, the committee, Margaret Webber, Kathryn Owen, Erwin Otis. Marjorie Rothfuss. Kenneth Law, Ford Simonds, Leona Bierma. Dorothy Bassett, Sally Bovill. Anne Cantwell, Ruthene Sollinger and Clarence Kresin. felt very proud. The juniors were the hosts of the seniors at the annual Junior-Senior Banquet. Becauste of financial conditions a vote was taken in order to see if a banquet might be given. Only 50 juniors were able to contribute money aand so the banquet was not an elaborate affair. 1 IB HOMEROOM E. Davis, R. Abrams, W. Sheldon Under the careful guidance of Mr. Haight, history teacher, who success- fully led this same group last year, and with Robert Abrams occupying the president’s chair, the 11B homeroom has quite successfully steered its course through another year in Dearborn High School. Dale Gardner filling the office of vice-president. Edward Pike that of treasurer, and Evelyn Davis that of secretary, completed the officers who strove to make the homeroom activities enjoyable ones. William Sheldon was chosen to represent the group in the House of Representatives. However, they were not represent- ed in the Senate. George Simmons managed the interclass sports for the group to its satisfaction. Joining with the three sophomore homerooms for the sophomore dance, decorated in Christmas fashion, a Christina s tree in the center with red and green streamers draped from it. and with music furnished by Rob Cruzet’s Cotton Club orchestra, they did their share of putting it over. A profit of about $18 was realized, which the four homerooms shared. Neil Paeschke, Edward Pike and Pauline Dewyer composed the committee which helped in getting the auditorium ready for the dance. Running a booth of their own at the carnival in which they sold frozen pop. they sold out everything and then helped others with their sales. They made about a five dollar profit. George Simmons, Evelyn Davis, Edward Pike, and Jane Creith were active in constructing and operating their stand. After their business meetings they had several interesting programs, at which Mr. Rider’s poetry reading and William Schroeder’s accordion music were featured. Margaret Lloyd. Mary Pace. Lillian Ridley, and Peggy Snow were out- standing in scholarship. This group has shown a marked increase in membership, there now being 70 members, an increase of 30 from last year. 10A HOMEROOM Back row: G. Levagoocl, J. Bird, G. Mills, K. Smith, L. Jones Front row: L. Burgess, M. Heddle, K. Spencer, V. Scallen, E. Miller Because this class is so large there are three homerooms which work in conjunction on important activities. Miss Hainline is adviser of the first 50 students whose last names begin with “A” through H.” [ack Bird is pres- ident. Richard Dickason is vice-president. Lois Burgess is secretary, and William Craig is treasurer. Miss Mitchell is adviser of the 30 pupils whose last names begin with J” through “Me.” This is Gordon Mill’s second year in the president’s chair; Francis Laird is vice-president, and Evelyn Miller secretary-treasurer. Mr. Gwinnell is adviser of the last 50 members of the class, and since only two officers act in this homeroom, they have elected only a president, who is Karl Smith, and a secretary, Florence Spencer. The only activity in which all the homerooms acted together, with the assistance of the 11B homeroom, then the 10A. the class put on the Sopho- more Dance. A large and well decorated Christmas ttee stood in the middle of the floor and plenty of the proverbial mistletoe hung conveniently above. The music was furnished by the Cotton Picker’s Club orchestra. The net profit of $18 was put in a collective fund for the. whole class. The com- mittee for the dance was composed of Betty Jo Alderdyce, Duane Dates. Gordon Mills, Virginia Loudon, Ivah Lew’s, and Frances Rousseau. Miss Hainline’s and Miss Mitchell’s homerooms had a booth together in the carnival, at which they sold candied apples and pop-corn. I he public took a fancy to their wares and they found that the demand was muefh greater than the supply. Unfortunately, the money, estimated to be approximately $7 or $8. was stolen. Mr. Gwinnell’s homeroom had a magician’s booth. 10! � HOMEROOM M. Sandusky, J. Folger, J. Butts, F. Olsen The 10B group, with Miss Wolkins as its sponsor, left the junior for the senior high school in January, increasing its membership to 59. Its first duty was to elect a new set of officers, who are Vyrena Batchelor, president; Finn Olsen, vice-president; Betty Verville. secretary-treasurer; and Jean Butts, student council member. These succeeded the former officers, Margaret Sandusky, president; Finn Olsen, vice-president; Jane Folger, secretary- treasurer; and Jean Butts, student council member. One of the high spots in its history was the winning of the plaque for this year’s best junior high assembly program, which celebrated Columbus Day. Tableaux showing the life of Columbus were presented. In these, the part of the chief character was taken by George Ebling, and those of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella by Finn Olsen and Rylma Ford. Short talks bv Jane Folger and Margaret Sandusky and a recitation by Jean Sagar were other features. Phyllis McGeachy did the announcing, and a number of other stu- dents were active on committees. Another important event was the Freshman Dance. Although they were no longer freshmen, the class participated in it because none was given last fall. The affair occurred in March and was largely attended. At the annual carnival, the class entertained with a haunted house, of which Robert Wagle and Clemens Glotzhober were in charge. Other activ- ities included a Christmas party, at Which the junior high school orchestra played, and interesting homeroom programs. At the latter. Miss Betts and Barbara Strand spoke on the National Honor Society. In scholarship the group ranks high, and a large number of students make the honor roll every month. Many of the girls are prominent in athletics and have won letters. They won the interclass basketball championship as freshmen last semester. FOOTBALL Back row: YV. Cramer, j. Simms R. Adair, G. Lera703d, K. Smith, G. Di -is, G. Glani .Middle row: J. Downing (manager), D. Black, C. Soderquist, R. Champnry, F. SimonJc, F. Aldrich. M. Jones, H. Wilson, K. Vandercook (manager) Front row: D. Kandt, C. Albertson, W. Young. J. Hopp'n, C. Sautter, J. Woehlke, A. Kerry Although the football team did not finish the season with a winning per- centage, it did well considering the misfortune which befell it. The record shows that Dearborn won two games out of eilght played, but the six lost were not dropped without a struggle. The Pioneers started impressively, winning from Ypsilanti and Lincoln Park on successive Fridays. Then a series of mishaps sapped the strength of the squad. Bill Cramer, flashy halfback, suffered a hip injury which caused him to withdraw from competition for the remainder of the season; Kari Smith missed several games because of a sprained ankle, and a broken; nose hampered Charles Albertson, reliable tackle. With these men on the injured list, Dcarbor was nosed out by Ecorsc 8-6. After this setback the Pioneers lost games to River Rouge, Wayne, Birming- ham, Plymouth, and Fordson. River Rouge and Birmingham, two of the strongest teams in Michigan piled up overwhelming scores, but Wavne and Fordson, rivals of long standing, were able to barely eke out victories over the Dearborn team, 6-0 and 12-6 respectivly. At a banquet held after the Fordson game Charles Albertson and C harles Soderquist, both tackles, were elected co-captains to succeed Jarvis Woehlke. Varsity letters were awarded to Robin Adair, Charles Albertson and Charles Aldrich, Billy Cramer, Ralph Champney, George Gianis, James Hoppin, Burdette Johnson, David Kandt, Allen Kerry, Kenneth Parkhurst, Jack Simms, Ford Simonds, Charles Soderquist, Karl Smith. Hal Wilson, Jarvis Woehlke, and Watson Young. The recipients of reserve awards were David Black, Duane Dates, Milton Jones. Philip Lynch, George Levagood, Edward Pike. Alfred Rozanowski. Mention must be made of the efficient service of the managers, Karl Vandercook. Everett Durham, and John Downing, and of Clyde Ziegler, an alumnus who assisted the coach. CROSS COUNTRY Rack row: K. Law (manager), L. Bingham. R. Whitney, P. Major. J. Newel!, K. Foust, A. Stobbe Front row: A. East. R. Bruce (captain). L. Wetzel (coach). W. Scotten, VV. Roeser “A fair season,” says Mr. Wetzel. We p aced second in the regional and defeated Plymouth, Ypsilanti, Birmingham, Ecorse, River Rouge, and we lost only to Wayne, winner of the regional, ana Lansing Eastern. The state meet was not held thi year because of financial conditions. The races in which the Pioneers were victorious meant overwhelming defeat to their rivals, while the races they lost were hard fought. Wayne won by the score of 26-29.” The strain undergone in a cross-country race is not generally known and for informing purposes this may be said: Running two and one-tenth miles at a regular mile pace affects one greatly, and boys who go out for this sport and stay out for it deserve a maximum amount of credit. Each one of them has a lot of grit and a fighting heart. Arthur P'ast. who has been out for both foot- ball and cross-country, claims that the latter is harder because of the strain one undergoes, and the vitality it takes to endure the long distance without the least bit of rest that may be taken in a football or basketball game. Varsity letters were awarded to Captain Bruce, Captain-elect Scotten. East, foremost runner on the team. Roeser and Newell, veterans. Bingham and Major, who made good their first year out for the sport, and to Whitney. Stobbe and Foust, who have faithfully competed for the past three vears. The return of Captain-elect Scotten. ex-Captain Bruce. Lloyd Bingham and Paul Major promises four strong runners for next year’s team and the reserve team should provide men for the remaining two places. Mr. Wetzel will make no statement concerning the coming season but he will, as usual, do all in his power to help the boys to develop themselves into better runners. ALP 11A BETA TAU Back row: R. Adair, R. Molby, H. Petersen, D. Kandt, C. Soderquist, C. Albertson, J. Snidow, K. Smith, J. Forster Front row: C. Sautter, R. Champney, J. Woehlke. G. Davis, L. Meyers (sponsor), R. Greenwald, A. Twork, C. Morris, F. Aldrich The Alpha Beta Tail, sponsored by Louis Meyer, mathematics teacher, is now in its fourth year of successful operation. The chief aim of the club is to increase interest in all sports and to keep its members eligible for athletic competition. Members of the club, 18 in number, are nearly all varsity letter men. The boys become members usually because of their potential varsity ability. The president, Ralph Champney, is a three sport man, playing on football, basket- ball, and track teams. Jarvis Woehlke, vice-president, who left school in January, wa’s a member of the fodtball and track squads, and, during the 1932 season, captain of both. Following Woehlke’s departure Charles Sautter was elected to the vice-presidency. He is also a three sport man playing on football, basketball, and track squads. Ralph Molbv, secretary-treasurer, is a two sport man, playing basketball and baseball. Because boys injured in athetic competition have to pay their own doctor bills, the Alpha Beita Tau took charge of raising an “injured athlete’s fund.” This was done by selling candy, pop, and hot doigs at all athletic contests. Be- tween $30 and $35 was made, which was used to pay for such injuries as broken noses, wrenched backs and wrenched knees. This year the club will give a cup to the most promising athlete in junior high at the June honor assembly. The boy receiving the cup will be the first holder, as the idea orinirated this year. Many donations have been made by the club toward increasing interest in sports. Among these are a scoreboard and ping-ponfc table for the gym. So- cial activities are also on the- club schedule, three parties having already been given, while the annual club dance will be given at ‘the end of the vear. BASKETBALL Back row: R. Adair, S.

Sutton (manager) Front row: R. Molby, K. Fremutb, J. Forster, C. Sautter. F. Koppitsch, C. Soderquist. C. Roth. M. Schroeder, F. Simonds Dearborn Hiigh School had a fairly successful basketball season for 1932- ’33, tieing with Plymouth and Ypsilanti for second place in the Twin Valley Athletic association- Upsets marked the schedules of many teams during the season, two of these being the defeat of Wayne and River Rouge in close con- tests atter having defeated Dearborn in preceding games. The season started early in November and ended in March. A total num- ber of 14 scheduled games were played of which eight were league games. Dear! orn won only four of the league games but still tied for second as other teams in the league won only as many. Of the four scheduled non- league games Dearborn won one defeating Lincoln Park. The other three were lost to class A schools, Fordson, Birmingham, and Wyandotte. The result of the team’s entering the Regional tournament at Fordson was not successful, since Dearborn was defeated by Holy Redeemer, winner of the Regional, in the first game, by a score of 18-27. Over half of their games were won by the second team to complete a suc- cessful season. Those they did lose were lost by very small margins. Many of their games had to be finished by playing one or more overtime periods. The members of the reserve squad are nearly all sophomores, and so have two years of competition ahead of them. They will also furnish good var- sity material and make the struggle for varsity positions much harder in the coming season. Varsitv letters were received by seven members of the squad: Captain Frank Koopitsch. Charles Sautter, Charles Albertson, Karl Smith. Ford Simonds, Carl Roth, and Ralph Molhv. All. with the exception of Roth and Albertson were varsity men last year, and all have another vear of com- petition yet. ATHLETIC CABINET Back row: F. McIntyre (faculty). J. Johnston. E. Lundquist. Front row: K. Moore, R. Sandusky. L. Mitchell (faculty), Mrs. Smith (faculty), H. Grophear (faculty) Two years ago the Dearborn High School Athletic Association was merely an idea. Mr. Mitchell’s idea. One year ago, as a reality, it converted the deficit in the athletic department’s treasury into a balance, and this year, with its membership almost doubled and a treasury well able to carry the athletic department through its program next year, it has succeeded in its purpose of exciting school spirit and putting sports on a self-supporting Irasis. Largely responsible for this success is the Athletic Cabinet made up of the popularly elected student officers, who were Jimmie Johnston, president: Erir Lundquist. wee-president; Katherine Moore, secretary; and Ruth Sandusky, treasurer. Faculty members include Mr. Mitchell, faculty man- ager of Athletics: Mr. Grophear, representative of the administration; and Mrs. Smith and Mr. McIntyre, of the physical education department. This body sponsored the campaign for new members last fall and more recently has extended membership in the organization to all junior high school stu- dent ; in Wert Dearborn. Tt is also the duty of the group to collect dues and distribute athletic tickets. Tn this work Grace Wendt. Lyle Simmons. Ruth Simmons, and Irene Riggs voluntarily offered their assistance to the cabinet. Dus are five cents weekly or $1.20 a semester. Students who are not mem- bers of the association are obliged to pay the customary 25 cents for admiss- ion to games.- A majority of the students have realized the economic value of the organization and have become members. Tt will be necessary to hold a new election for officers in the fall as three members. Tames Tohnston, Katherine Moore, and Ruth Sandusky are lea- ing school in Tune with the graduating class. CROSS COUNTRY CLUB Back row: R. Bruce, L. Bingham, K. I.aw, A. Hayes, A. Stobbe, VV. Roeser, R. Clarke Front row: A. Fast, K. Foust. W. Scotten, L. Wetzel (coach), R. Whitney, P. Major, J. Bird The Cross Country Club under the sponsorship of Mr. Wetzel, mathematics instructor and track and cross-country coach, is an infant organization, this being the first year of activity. The first purpose of the club is to promote a greater interest in cross- country running. The second is to discuss certain phases of long distance run- ning and to improve the performance of the members. '1 hese discussions have been very helpful to the running members. Arthur East, a senior and president, has played football and is a valuable member of the track squad as well as number one man on the cross-country team. The two remaining officers. Wallace Scotten. vice-president, who was captain of this year’s cross-country team and also a half-miler on the track squad, and Ronald Rruce, secretary treasurer, who is an ex-captain of the cross-country team and a member of the track team, are both juniors- This organization has 18 members, all either members or aspirants for the track team and cross-country squad. To become eligible for club member- ship an applicant must practice cross-country in the fall as a member of either the varsity or the reserve team. Tf a standing member of the club fails in his studies and becomes scholastically ineligible, or if he refuses to turn out for the sport during one season he is automatically dropped. In this way an increased incentive for better grades is promoted. The club constituton was formulated by a committee, and was presented to the club members by Wallace Scotten, vice-president and chairman of the committee. Si ce its adoption the members have continued their discussions concerning long distance running. BASEBALL Back row: T. Shaughnessy (manager), J. Maples, F. Adrich, K. Smith, P. Starck, J. Bovili. P. Chilkowitz, D. Black. F. Ferguson (manager) Front row: R. Lange, B. Jones, E. Earle, G. Levagood, H. McLean, W. Warner, C. Schmoekel (captain), D. Wisman, M. Jones, J. Kulas, T. Koval At the opening of the 1933 baseball season, Coach Frank McIntyre looks with favorable aspect upon Dearborn’s success during the season. With the return of seven veterans, capable reserve material, and a group of newcomers to Dearborn High’s ranks, the team should come out of the season with a high percentage of games won. There promises to be a great deal of competition between veterans and newcomers for all positions on the field. The infield, composed of four year veterans, and George Levagood, and Henry McLean flanking the veteran Paul Starck in the outfield, is likely to give Coach McIntyre a hard hitting and good defensive team. Other additions to the team which have helped are Julius Lulas, and John Bovili, outfield. Pete Chilkewitz, a newcomer, has been added to the pitching staff, which of- fers a good substitute for the veteran Karl Smith. The catching again is held up by Dearborn’s star performer. Carl Schmoekel. Dearborn has won three games and lost one. The outstanding features of the games won was Dearborn’s victory over Plymouth, which was the first defeat handed them in seventeen consecutive games. Lincoln Park was the only victor over Dearborn. The game went into extra innings and ended up 2 to 1. Dearborn, however, was without the services of Harry Petersen and Frank Aldrich, two mainstays of the team- Royal Oak. Plymouth, and Fordson have yet to be played on the schedule. Coach McIntyre is well pleased with the club and expects to win the re- mainder of the games to be played. TRACK Back row: R. Clarke, B. Nichols, C. Glotzhober. J. Forster, J. Newell. W. Young, P. Major. K. Foust, N. Lowry, W. Kitson, J. Bird, W. Scotten, L. Bingham, R. McCloud, W. Ware Front row: O. Zahnow, W. Roeser, R. Bruce, A. Stobbe, K. Fremuth, L .Jones, A. Fast, R. Whitney, W. Cramer, C. Soderquist, J. Olsen, F. Koppitsch, L. Wetzel (coach), K. Law (manager) Second in the league, second in the regional and third in the state meet That is Dearborn’s track record for last year. The results are “fair”, accord- ing to Mr. Wetzel, and he looks eagerly toward the 1933 season, hoping that his boys will better their standing of last year. In dual meets Dearborn lost to River Rouge, 65 to 39; they defeated Ecorse. 79 to 25, Ypsilanti was vanquished, 62 to 42, and Plymouth was conquered in the last dual meet of the season, 80 to 24- In the lone triangular mfeet of the year for Dearborn, Wyandotte and Wayne were badly beaten. The score was as follows: Dearborn 66 1-2, Wyandotte 39 1-2 and Wayne 24. River Rouge, winner of the regional and league titles, was the only team to conquer Dearborn in regular meets. The Pioneers finshed second to them in both the league and the regional, but defeated them in the state meet where the boys took third place, finishing behind St. Joseph and Dowagiac. A total of 18 varsity letters was awarded to Captain Woehlke, Roach. Bannister, Kandt, C. Hayes, C. Hills, A. Sutherland, Cramer. Whit- ney, R. McCloud, W. Scotten, Fremuth, Bruce, Kitson, A. Stobbe, W. Roes- er. N. Lowry, and F. Koppitsch. Dearborn’s team should be strong on the track in the spring of 1933, but the loss of Jarvis Woehlke takes away a great1 deal of Its strength in the field. Billy Cramer, senior, was chosen to lead the team this year. He suffered an injury during football season that was a hindrance to him in the hurdles, at which he stars, but an optimistic outlook is held for him and he hopes to score many points for Dearborn in the coming meets as this account goes to press. Many of the returning reserves should strengthen the varsity squad this year, and help is expec'ted from them. A few of these fellows are Zahnow, A. Hayes, B. Smith and Stacey. There is a possibility for some of the other bovs who have not been mentioned to make good. TUMBLING TEAM Tcp row: K. Tavlor. B. Smith, H. Gillen Bottom row: M. Dawson, M. Allen, I. Lewis, E. Sutherland, R. Simmons, H. Davis, J. Creith, L. Simmons, C. Rouse, F. Randazzo, H. Reeck With 16 members, the girls’ tumbling team for this year contains more stu- dents than it has for some time. Those participating are Marjorie Allen, Jane Creith. Helen Davis. Mildred Dawson, Helen Gillen, Ivah Lewis, Frances Randazzo, Helen Reeck. Christine Rouse, Mildred Sievert, Lyle Simmons. Ruth Simmons, Barbara Smith, Etta Sutherland, Catherine Taylor, and Adeline Weiss. The course was divided into a number of units which were assigned to dif- ferent months. During the first month the girls worked on exercises on the horse- The second one was taken up with stunts on the parallel bars, while the third was devoted to mat exercises- All participants were required to do head and hand stands, to perform forward and backward rolls and cartwheels, and to take several steps on their hands. During the fourth month all kinds of pyramids were practiced, and in the fifth, original ones were made up and built. Each girl worked out her own, assigned the places in it to the members of the class, and then directed its buildinlg. At the end of the month a vote was taken and the three best ones were selected. The authors of these were Frances Randazzo, Mildred Siev- ert. and Etta Sutherland. The one illustrated here is that of Mildred Sievert. which was selected as the best one. The same type of work was done the second semester. I he benefits of such a class to the girls are numerous. The exercises build up the muscles and aid in' the coordination. Those who are participating are also enabled to gain through the work the satisfaction and self-confidence which comes as a result of accomplishing something. Self-testing is en- couraged and through such projects as the makinlg-up and directing of pyra- mid leadership is stressed. AC T II VI T IE GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB Back row: T. Ferguson, D. Reese, V.

Mc- Manus, has 40 members, being the largest since it organization nine years ago. Clarabell Dates is president of the club, Betty Alderdyce is secretary: Lois Nutt. Sara Bovill and Elva McDonald are librarians. Although the girls only meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays, they have made remarkable progress in being able to prepare selections to sing at public ap- pearances- On Mondays. Wednesdays and Fridays, they meet with the Boys’ Glee Club under the direction of Mr. Koch. None of the music groups entered music contests this year as was the case last year, but the girls sang three selections over station WWJ on March 2, during the Michigan Education Association program. One of the high spots of the year was the sending of nine girls to Grand Rapids during April 22-26. They were sent as delegates to the North Central Chorus for the North Central National Musical Superintendents’ Conference. The nine were chosen for their loyalty, musicianship and vocal excellence. The Girls’ Glee Club had an important part in the senior high music festival in May sponsored by the music department under the direction of Miss Mc- Manus. Once a month for their monthly grade, the girls prepare a solo to sing. No popular songs are ever sung. The numbers are chosen from the sacred, classi- cal and semi-classical groups. Miss McManus said, ‘T think solo sinking is the best thing my girls could do. Tt makes them utterly conscious of every detail in singing.” Enunciation, pronunciation, diction, quality, poise, and breath-control are the factors considered in the marking of the solo. The girls’ voices are strengthened and voice quality is improved and made richer by this practice. BOYS’ GLEE CLUB Back row: M. Merritt, D. Dates. R. Champney, G. Gianis, J. Johnston, P. Major, J.

Ferguson, J. Wiford. R. I.oudon. B. Johnson Singing at many notable gatherings, the Hoys’ Glee Club has put itself in the public eye as a desirable organization. During the year it sang on the Secretary Hawkins program over station WWJ, and on the Michigan Education Association program over WJR, in the fall at the Robert Burns School and the Coolidge High School, and several times before the Oxford Parent Teachers Association. One of the best opportunities occurred when it gave a vocal demonstration before the music section of the Michigan Education Association at the Statler Hotel. October 28. From the members of the Glee Club, an octet, composed of Robert Loudon and James Johnston, first tenors; Ralph Champney and Francis Woodburn, second tenors; Robert Ketchum and Orlen Zahnow, baritones, with Burdette Johnson and Duane Dates alternating; and Donald Bock and James Wood- burn, basses with William Schroeder and Robert Smith alternating, was form- ed. This group made several public appearances accompanied by Mrs. Aileen Mears. who also accompanies the Glee Club on its appearances in public. “God So Loved the World” from the cantata. “Crufixon” by Stainer; Rles- sed Host” by Greig; “Song of Death” by Bach; “On the Sea” by Buck: “Sleepy Hollow Tune”; and “The Sleiigh” by Kountz: “A-sleep in the Deep by Petrie “The Hunter’s Loud Halloo” by O’Hara; and “Stars of the Sum- mer Night by Woodbury: are some of the well known works members stud- ied while they also sang several other compositions of lesser importance. Most of the 34 members of the Glee Club belonig to the mixed chorus, de- spite the fact that an arrangement was made this year whereby a student may take Glee Club without taking chorus. The Glee Club practices twice a week and the chorus practices on the other three days. ORCHESTRA Back row: W. Ware. D. Yoakum, M. Schrocler, C. Schroeder, P. Hitter, M. McCorm- ick. U. Mauerhoff W.

Fe 1 - an 1 t’ e string quartette over CKLW, Feb. 19. when performing before this association. The officers, who take charge of orchestra meetings, were William Hitter, president: George Meyers, treasurer; and Vivian Romaine. secretary. whiH William Hitter was concertmaster. with the responsibility of training t e second violin section. George Meyers was assistant conce- tmaster. The orchestra has been divided into three smaller groups which were glad to serve civic organizations. Claire Schroeder. Marguerite Marshall. William Hitter, George Meyers, Arvid Anderson. Marion McCormick. Robert Gray. Everett Durham, Norman Wallace. Waren Ochs. Orlen Zahnow. and Sara McKay composed the small orchestra: William Hitter. George Meyers. Ev- elyn Ainsworth, and Donald Simpson, the string quartette ; and Marion Mc- Cormick. Bill Hitter. George Meyers, and Marguerite Marshall, the dinner ensemble,' The dinner ensemble played before the Players Guild. Nov. 19. and the string quartette appeared at the Junior-Senior banquet. Jan. 25. Because of good work and future possibilities. Bill Hitter. George Meyers, and Sara McKay were recommended for the North Central Orchestra which appeared in conjunction with the North Central Music Supervisors conference at Grand Rapids. April 22-26. There were 46 members this year, a decrease of five over last year’s group. HAND Back row: R. Clark, N. Paeschke, J. K'ocher, D. Gaton, M. Laird, J. Bird Third row: R. Currie, W. Elmer, F.

McCloud With a full membership of 48 student instrumentalists, the Dearborn High School band, under the direction of Mr. Tiefenthal, started practice a week after school began, in September. Due to the time necessary for fall classifications, it could not be immediately ascertained how many were to be in the band, and this, along with the time neccessarv for acquiring and charging instruments, was responsibe for the short delay. Many activities both inside and outside of school were taken part in by this organization. Between acts of the afternoon performance of the senior play. “Grumpy,” the band offered several selections to give stage hands time to change scenery. As was the usual custom, the group, in conjunction with many other organizations, took part in the annual Decoration Day parade at Fordson. This was the last and most important activity of the season. Practice is held in the auditorium during second hour every day. A handi- cap is placed on the band every Tuesday and Thursday, because of the fact that some of the members are also in the orchestra, and must practice with it on these days. Several students own their instruments, but those who do not are furnish- ed theirs at a slight rental fee. A five dollar deposit is placed with Miss Mc- Manus at the beginning of the year, half of which is returned at 'the end of the year. No decrease in number is expected next fall, because only a few of the members are graduating seniors, and some of these are contemnlating tak- ing a nost-graduate course. LATIN PAPER STAFF Back row: R. Sandusky E. I-Tubbert, D. Bas ett Front row: S. Bird, H. Bruegemann (adviser), B. Roberts The Staff of Tunc et Nunc, the biannual paper published by Latin students, includes Sylvia Bird, editor, Betty Roberts and Ruth Sandusky, associate edi- tors, Dorothy Bassett and Ethlyn Hubbert, typists, and Mrs. Bruegemann, adviser. Material for the paper is written by Latin students, and shows remarkable originality and instructiveness. In the December issue. 1932, mythology is traced from ancient Rome’s seven-headed hydra, slain by Hercules, to an eight headed dragon-centipede, slain by Susanee, sometimes referred to as the Japanese IJerseus. Written by Sylvia Bird. Latin 7, this article on Roman and Japanese mythology presents another link between ancient Rome and today. Besides jokes and puns, several stories written in Latin appeared in this issue. Wallace Scotten. Latin T. and Margaret Sandusky, also Latin I. con- tributed articles of this nature. A Swedish recipe submitted by Gunnar Hag- elthorne. an alumnus, described a noon day meal. It consisted of ham, salted 14 days in brine: 2 1-2 pounds of salt, 3 pounds of sugar, 12 quarts of water. I teaspoon of saltpetre. Emperor Titus’ bath house is described in the, plav “Iter ad Thermas,” written by John Bovill, Latin 3. The building was the most gorgeous of all Roman baths, and in one room, the tepedarium, there were 10,000 diamonds and rubies used as ornaments, and the floor was the purest marble inlaid with a tnosiac picture done by a Greek artist. As the author of the play writes “even Caesar woud be able to relax both mind and body amidst such splendor.” The staff for this languaige publication is chosen each semester from the better students in the I-atin class. It is an interesting observation that nearly all students on the Tunc et Nunc staff stand high in all other classes. DEBATING TEAM Rack row: J. Wilford. F. Aldrich, C. Kresin Front row: S. Dasher, F„ Evans, M. Stirtz (adviser). B. Strand, K. Moore Carrying off second place and entering the state elimination series for the first time in the schoo’s history, the Dearborn debating team, coached by Miss Sturtz, finished its first year of competition in the Twin Valley Activ- ity Association with credit. The subject chosen for all the high schools n t' e state was: “Resolved, that the State of Michigan shoud adopt an inc one tax.” Dearborn won four and lost two league debates with a percentage of 67. which was surpassed only by that of Plymouth. Although no class in debating was held, all senior high students were fre° to try out for the team, and a number did so. Barbara Strand. Shirley Dasher- Elizabeth Evans, Katherine Moore. Frank Aldrich, Clarence Kresin. and Ter- ome Wilford were chosen as Dearborn’s representatives. Of these only Bar- bara. Frank, and Jerome had had experience. Frank. Clarence, and Jerome upheld the negative side in the first debate but were defeated by Plymouth. The second, in which Dearborn also had the neg- ative. was lost to River Rouge, the members of the team remaining the same except for the substitution of Barbara for Frank. In the third contest Dearborn was more fortunate and won over Fcorse with an affirmative team consisting of Shirley Dasher- Katherine Moore, and Frank Aldrich. Barbara Strand. Elizabeth Evans, and Clarence Kresin then took the affirmative side and succeeded against Ypsilanti. To wind up the league season. Dearborn won two debates from Lincoln Park on the same day with a negative team consisting of Barlxara Strand. Clarence KresiV. and Terome Wiford. and an affirmative one of Shirley Dash- er. Katherine Moore, and Frank Aldrich. Bcause of this victory Dearborn was able to enter the state elimination series, in which it was dfeated by Pontiac ■in the first debate. Several social gatherings after debates were enjoyed greatly by the members of 'the team. ALL SCHOOL PLAY Back row: J. Wilford, YV. Schroeder, M. Rider (director), E. Otis, W. McDonald Front row: M. Strand, V. Loudon, E. Wyman, F. Stacey, M. Hoppin, E. Ford, O. Haigh Well given, the fall play, “The Family Upstairs,” by Harry Delf, gave Dearborn High many brilliant actors. The leads were taken by William Schroeder, as the hero Charles, and opposite him the pretty heroine, Louise, was played by Virginia Loudon. The remainder of the cas't were Margaret Hoppin as the nagging mother. Jerome Wilford, the consoling father, Erwin Otis, the young brother who furnished much amusement. Marjorie Strand a piano playing sister who was always striking a discord. Elsie Wytnan, the gossipy dress maker. Frances Stacey, lovely mother of the hero, and William McDonald, the hero’s small brother. The plot of the play was cleverly worked out. The young heroine finds herself unable to bring any young men home because her mother nags her saying, How nice that young fellow would be to marry!” When at last Charles visits Louise the mother makes such a pretense of being rfch that Charles does not have the heart to ask Louise to marry him. Louise, portrayed bv the skillful acting of Virginia Loudon, wins Charles back by revealing the truth. Mr. Rider. English teacher and play coach, directed the play and helped the actors’ talent remarkably well. Assisting the players were Elizabeth Ford and Olive Haigh. who acted as prompters. Senior girls acting as ushers were Sara McKay, Eileen Coon, Vivian Romaine- Ingeborg Mauerhauff, Rachel Reeck. Frieda Niemann, Ruth Simmons, Grace Wendt, and Eleanor Thoma. Members of the senior class who acted as properties committee were Lyle Simmons, Betty Hamilton. James Johnston. Burdette Johnson, and Nelson Lowry. Although only two performances were given, one in the afternoon and the other in the evening, the play made a profit of $50.72. LIBRARY STAFF Back row: L. Snitns, E. Thoma, R. Szymanisk, L.

Rawson Because the picture for the Pioneer was taken before the staff members for the second semester had been selected, several of the staff are not in it. They are Clarabelle Dats, Helen Gates, Laura B. Kinyon, Willa Shuell, Gret- chen Wessinger and Laura Huss. Although the library course is elective, students who do not have B aver- ages or above are asked not to choose it. Those taking library work this year are required to hand in one written assignment a month, which requires look- ing up the subject matter in reference books. Other work which the staff does includes putting the pictures in order, filing cards, clipping and filing newspaper articles, mounting pictures and changing out books, along with desk duty. Mrs. Jack does most of the reference work, “because” she says, “it is too difficult for those with so little training.” Several post graduates are takingdhe course as part of college preparation. Regular students receive 1-4 credit a semester. In spite of the fact that no books except those containing the necessary reference material for debating, and the new history courses have been pur- chased. there is a large increase in the demand for non-fiction, credit read- ing books and for magazines, especially among history and creative writing students. Eleanor Thoma is in charge of the magazines, and a staff member stays in Roam 228 all second hour, because all the issues of the magazines since 1926 must be filed and kept in order. Also, magazine covers have been stapled on to prevent them from tearing so easily. Over night books, which formerly could be taken out only at four o’clock can now be taken out at three o’clock to accommodate students who go home at that time. FORENSIC LEAGUE Back row: J. Wilford, F. Aldrich, C. Kresin Front row: S. Dasher, E. Evans, Howser (coach), M. Sturtz (coach), B. Strand, K. Moore, E.

Taylor Front row: K. Moore, O. Haigh B. Strand, R. Sandusky, M. Owen, M. Hoppin. H. Rhodes Although the depression was responsible for some changes, the size of the Orange and Black and the number of issues printed was practically the same as that of last year. Many interviews were printed, some of which were with iliiam Allen White, Bing Crosby and Dr. Krumling, a medical missionary in China. The theme of the Christmas issue, which was the largest of the year, was carried out with Paul Bunyan stories. James Stevens, author of two volumes of Paul Bunyan stories, sent a greeting to the staff for the issue. The other Bunyan stories were written by reporters on timely and school events. Al- berta Stutsman, ’28. did a Bunyan illustration for the cover. Ruth Sandusky was first semester editor with Katherine Moore assistant editor. Kennleth Foust and Wesley Roeser made up the business staff, Arthur Stobbe and Robert Whitney wrote the sports, while Margaret Hoppin and Betty Bryant took care of circulation. Aijthur Stobbe and Margaret Hoppin were elected to the Quill and Scroll Society the first semester. The second semester staff was new except for Margaret Owen. Hazel Rhodes, Arthur Stobbe and Barbara Strand. Arthur was chosen editor by the group, which never before had electd its own editor. Erwin Otis was appointed assistant editor, Allen Kerry was sports writer in conjunction with the editor. Ingeborg Matterhoff had charge of circula- tion. while Margaret Owen and Barbara Strand were the business managers. It was the first timte that girls had ever held that position. The reporters were Shirley Dasher. Muriel Hess. Margaret Webber. Katheryn Owen. Hazel Rhodes. Marjorie Rothfuss. Charlotte Schmidt. Ruthene Sollinger and Gretchen Wessinger SENIOR PLAY Rack row: F.

Tlioma “Grumpy.” a four act play by Horace Hodges and T. Wigney Percival. was chosen for the annual senior play because it afforded opportunity for good acting for a cast of 14 characters. The play was produced under the direction of Mr. Rider. Frank Aldrich played the title role of an elderly English crim- inal lawyer who apparenti) is feeble and unobservant but is really clever enough to outwit a jewel thief and regain a stolen diamond. Many amusing situations arise between the irritable old man and his timid servants and re- latives. The supporting cast consisted of William Schroeder as Ernest, Grumpy’s provincial nephew who has a diamond, entrusted to him by his firm, stolen from his person; Barbara Strand as Virginia, devoted grand-daughter of the old man and the object of his nephew’s affections: Hazel Rhodes as alternate to Virginia: Ralph Champney as Mr. Jarvis, a slick jewel thief who tries to run away with both the diamond and Virginia; Francis Woodburn as Rud- dock. Grumpy’s loyal valet: Wesley Roeser as Keble. Mr. Jarvis’ valet who has designs on Susan, played by Ruth Sandusky, who is a timid maid of Grumpy’s household: Donovan Merryman as Dr. McClaren, a dignified physi- cian : Frances Stacey as his talkative wife: James Hoppin as Wolfe, a Jewish second-hand dealer who is a friend of Jarvis; and Ingeborg Mauerhoff and Eleanor Thoma. who played the parts of the maids, Merridew and Dawson, respectively. Hazel Rhodes played the part of Virginia in the afternoon and Barbara Strand in the evening. Lyle Simmons and Betty Roberts prompted, while a committee, composed of Ruth Folger. chairman. James Johnston, Kenneth Foust, David Black. Katherine Moore, and Shirley Dasher, was in charge of .the properties. Miss Betts and Mrs. Pletcher took care of the make up for the characters. PIONEER STAFF Back row: E. Durham. F. Aldrich K. Foust. E. Otis, K. Fremuth Front row: M. Webber, K. Moore. M. Rothfuss, C. Schmidt. K. Owen, R. Sandusky, M. Owen. S. Dasher “Contemporary Life and Education” was the theme selected for the 1933 Pioneer. The staff could not have had a more interesting or fitting subjects to work with, for life today may he treated with a greater degree of familiar- ity than the ponderous subjects of past year. . Rut in a more serious m 'od than ever before, because of financial conditions, Kenneth Foust, editor. Mar garet Webber, assistant editor, Damon Frutchey. art editor. Mr. Martin, ad- viser, began their work on the annual, which is dedicated to Mr. Salisbury. Only about $50 was gained in advertising, even though EvereStt Durham business manager, worked diligently. That meant that the Pioneer was chief- ly paid for by the quantity of books sold. Financial conditions also caused the type of binding used, and the hank holiday caused a late start in printing. It is unusual that the staff is composed of eight juniors: Margaret Webber. Sally Bovill, Karl Fremuth. Erwin Otis. Kathryn Owen. Marjorie Rothfuss. Charlotte Schmidt, and Ford Simonds; and eight seniors: Kenneth Foust. Ev- erett Durham, Frank Aldrich. Shirley Dasher. Damon Frutchey. Katherine Moore Margaret Owen and Ruth Sandusky. Usually the staff is made up chiefly of seniors. The humorous cartoons drawn by Damon Frutchey and the modfernistic lettering, done by Wallace Scotten. give the pages a pleasing ieffect. The Ar- thur Studio again did excellent work in photography, with engraving by The Service Engraving Co. The first annual was published 11 years ago. in 1922. I his year there wert 300 copies printed. 275 of which were for sale at thfe price of $1.25 a copy. With only 275 for sale, only those who put their orders in early wfcre able to procure a book. When the 1932 Pioneer was submitted to the National Critical Service it rated second class, which corresponds to a C grade. It is doubtful whether this year’s annual will be submitted. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Rack row: E. Durham. F. Aldriclu W. Schroeder, O. Zahnow Front row: B. Strand. R. Sandusky, K. Moore Following a new plan, which was first used in the winter installation of Xational Honor Society members, students and teachers both were allowed to vote for June candidates. In senior high homerooms each class member was given a slip with the names of prospective candidates who were schol- astically eligible for initiation. Votes were then cast, (grading the qualities of character, scholarship, and leadership. Oift of those voted upon 15% may be chosen from thp 12A class, 10% from the 12B class, and 5% from the 11A class. Faculty choices were also made and compared with the student selec- tions. An approximately parallel vote was the result in both cases where this system was used. A total of five members from the present June graduating class and one from the, 12B group has been chosen in the past two elections. Barbara Strand and Frank Aldrich, seniors, were elected in June, 1952, group, along with Rebecca Stutsman and Proctor McGeachy. now alumni. Ruth Sandusky. Katherine Moore, William Schroeder, and Everett Durham, seniors, were elected in February, at the same time as Orlen Zahnow. junior. The group now in complete membership numbers 61, and it is expected that the coming installation will raise the number into the seventies. A new ritual, which was inaugurated in 1932. will be used this year for June installation ceremonies. Four members in caps and gowns representing the four standards. Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and Servicfe. recite re- spectively “If,” a quotation from the Bible, “Opportunity, ’ and “Abou Ben Adhem.” The candidates then receive the quill and sign their names to a parchment scroll, which is capable of receiving many more names in future years. Mr. Hood gives the oath of 'the society, which is repeated by the candidates, and then presents to them a membership pin. QUILL AND SCROLL Back row: F. Aldrich, K. Foust, A. Stobbe Front row: S. Bird. R. Sandusky. B. Bryant Quill and Scroll is an international honorary society whtch was founded several years ago to reward creative writing of high school students. Ruth Sandusky, Frank Aldrich, Betty Bryant, Joyce Black and Kenneth Foust were taken into the society at the June. 1932 election, ami at the mid- year honor assembly. Margaret Hoppin and Arthur Stobbe were initiated into the chapter. This is ithe fourth year Dearborn High School has had a Pioneer Chapter of the society with Mr- Martin as adviser. Thirty Dearborn High students are now members. Requirements for recommendation are that the candidate must be in the upper third of his class during the semester recommended, must be either a junior or senior and be highly recommended by the adviser for outstanding work in school publication. Character is also required for membership. Work of previous candidates has been outstanding, and every piece of writing submitted to the national secretary treasurer has been highly praised. For recommendation of new members in the June election a new require- ment. set by the adviser, is to be met. A project pertaining in some way to journalistic writing must be made by students wishing to join the chapter. Many interesting pieces of work are nearly completed. Some candidates are collecting instructive cartoons, others, daily newspaper columns, editor- ials. feature stories, news stories, and poems, from which material a theme is to be written concerning each project. In previous years it has been the duty of the society to take care of the arrangement of the bulletin boards on the main floor. Pins are presented to the new members of the honor assemblies, Mr. Adams making'the presentation at the June election, and Mr. Hood, for those initiat- ed at the January or mid-year honor assembly. According to custom, the Orange and Black presents each new girl member with a corsage bouquet. Ten girls have been recommended for election this term.

Pace Orlen Zahnow, who is a member of the orchestra, band and mixed chorus, is president of the Sinfonia Club for this year, and his executive committee is made up of William Hitter, vice president; Sara McKay, secretary, and George Meyers, treasurer. For the monthly programs, which are usually musical, a different chairman is appointed bv the officers, and he selects as many members as he wishes to serve with him. The February program proved unique and interesting. A radio theme song contest was given with Miriam Wright playing theme songs and members guessing which radi ostar they represented. Those who have acted as chairmen at monthly meetings are Marion McCormick, for the month of October; William Ware, November; Virginia Loudon, December: Miriam Wright, January: William Hitter, February; George Meyers, March; Sarah McKay, April: and Miss McManus, supervisor, for the month of May. Two bake sales have been given during the year, one in October and one in November, for the purpose of raising funds to pay off the indebtedness to the National Orchestra Camp. Due to financial difficulties no students were able to represent Dearborn High at the camp as in previous years. Tn 1931 Robert Black and Robert Zahnow obtained scholarships to the camp, and Evelyn Ainsworth attended in 1932. Miss McManus organized the club five years ago for students interested in music, in order to sponsor a scholarship to the National Orchestra Camp, to do something constructive for the school and to enlarge the appreciation of and sympathy of other organizations than their iwn. Sinfonia, which means harmony of sounds, is a fitting and proper name for this club, as one of the objects is to create harmony and understanding between the different musical organizations of the school. The present enrollment is 25. which is a decrease of seven members from that of last semester. HI-Y CLUB Back row: II. Wilson, M. Merritt, J. John-ton, O. Zahnovv. E. Otis. G. Gianis. F.

Harold Koch, voice instructor, continued his work as faculty sponsor while Kenneth Parkhurst was chosen president: Everett Durham vice-president: Frank Aldrich, secretary : and Jerome Wilford, treasurer. The club also elect- ed Rill Schroeder to act as sergeant-at-arms and Everett Durham as recreation commissioner to supplement his post as vice-president. Tn the fall 11 pledges underwent the informal initiation of several days' duration, which terminated in a formal initiation and dinner at the Dearborn Inn to weclome the new members. The club carried on numerous worthwhile activities throughout the year. Several meetings were spent in organized discussions of moral and social problems. The First Annual Hi-Y Father and Son Banquet was held at the Evangelical Church, where an excellent dinner and program were enjoyed. Rev- William Shaw of Ypsilanti delivered the principal address, on the value of an organization such as the Hi-Y. Among the stag parties held during the year, two were outstanding. An enjoyable weekend was spent at a cottaige of Silver Lake in the early fall and a party was held in honor of Murray Merritt who moved to California after two years’ service in Hi-Y. The latter party was held in Ypsilanti where the members played games at the Masonic Temple and enjoyed refreshments at the home of Mr. Koch’s parents. Hi-Y activities, however, were not restricted to social events. There was rivalry with the Alpha Beta Tau Club continued in ping pong, bowling, and basketball. COMMERCIAL CLUB Back row: P.

Alderdyce It has been the aim of the Commercial Club this year to make the monthly school meetings enjoyable as well as helpful to its members, who are girls primarily interested in commercial work. One of the most entertaining pro- grams was presented at the February meeting when Margaret Calder related Her experiences in Turkey. Another occurred in March when Mr. Martin spoke on the advisibility of being prepared for any emergency, and another in April with Mr- Hood as the speaker, with “The Perfect Secretary” as his topic. The club, as usual, has been socially active. In October the rew members were officially made a part of the organization at the initiation party held at the home of Dorothy T,agg. Calesta Bearup was chairman of the affair, with Marleah Webster. Geraldine Brooker. and Cora Hosmer to assist her. At Christmas time the girls filled a basket with food and presented it to a needy family. A shower was given in behalf of Dorothv Tagg Williams soon after her marriage. Alice Taylor being chairman of the committee in charge. A week-end party is always the high light of the social year. At this writ- ing it is not certain where the party will take place. Last year it was held at Mandon Labe. Last September the following officrs were elected; Dorothy Tagg. pres- ident; Geraldine Brooker. vice-president: Beth Fair, secretary: and Alice Taylor, treasurer. It was ncessary. however, for the club members to elect a new leader when Dorothy Tagg left school after her marriage. Betty Hinks was selected to finish out the school year as president.

Dearborn sent Katherine Moore, Ruth Folger. Frances Stacey, and Ruth Sandusky to the conference with the understanding that they would bring back helpful suggestions for carrying on the activities of the coming vear and draw the Dearborn organization closer within the friendly circle of Girl Reserves all over the world. Miss Stille and Miss Frazier, of the Detroit Y. W. C. A., by their speeches at the club’s monthly school meetings, having developed a feeling of “be- longing” among the girls. In connection with Dearborn’s relations with other chapters is the annual Girl Reserve party. a Tea Dansant this year, which the club attended in a body at the Detroit “Y on March 11. Thirteen new members were admitted into the club at a pot-luck initiation dinner held in the cafeteria on January 10. making the membership larger than it has ever been before- Other social activities include three house parties sponsored by Mrs. Pletcher, adviser, Betty Bryant, and Frances Stacey, and a bridge party under the chairmanship of Betty Hamilton, which was given in the auditorium January 17 to raise money for charily. Officers of the past year have been Ruth Sandusky, president: Frances Stacey, vice-president: Betty Bryant, recording secretary: Bettv Mamilton. corresponding secretary: Ruth Folger, 'treasurer: and Margaret Webber, in- ter-club councilor.

It was not until three years ago that the purpose was changed. To become familiar with French culture through amusements is the only purpose now- Only those having had French may join the organization, and this year the group is composed of all second year students. The business of the meeting is carried out in French, each student being called by the French form of her name for roll-call, and the minutes being read in French. The sponsor of the club is Miss Hainline. The president is Alice Abbott; vice-president, Margaret Lloyd; secretary, Ingeborg Mauerhoff; and treasur- er, Marguerite Wyckoff. With only six in the club, it is interesting to know that the vice-president was born in England and the secretary in Germany. Miss Hainline entertained the members and their friends at her home where they played cards, worked jig-saw puzzles and danced. This was the only social activity of the year. 4H CLUB Back row: V.

Some of the unique social activities which this group enjoyed during the year w'ere a Hallow'e’en party, taffy pull, toboggan party, theatre party and pot luck supper. However, the biggest event of the year came on April 8 when all the 4-H Clubs of Wayne County held their achievement day at Dearborn High in the auditorium and gymnasium. The Dearborn group assisted Miss Margaret Eckheart in serving the noon luncheon. Jean Loftus and Ruth Manchester w ere the only twro girls from this group to display their work: Jean had completed the fourth year’s w'ork. consisting of a dress and silk undergarments which she made, and matching hat. shoes and hose which she selected.

A gypsy hike was taken in the fall- Hiring a horse and wagon, the girls walked for 17 1-2 miles to the state park near Trenton, Michigan, and spent the night there, cooking their meals and steeping out-of-doors. The following day they hiked back. At the home of Barbara Smith, a dinner party was given. Kach girl irtvited a boy to accompany her. They played games and ate a big dinner which the (girls prepared themselves. Sally Bovill gave a dinner for all the troop mem- bers at her home in the fall, and MildiJed Wickens entertained them with a Halloween party. Many of the girls have passed the motorist badge, and during evening meetings (every Wednesday evening the troop meets from 7 to 8:30 o’clock) they work on first class badge work and various other badges. Two meetings were held in the high school cafeteria, and the girls cooked their supper to pass part qf their cook’s badge. One evening meeting was held at the home of Miss Clara Snow, when several scouts prepared a lunch as part of their hostess badge- Electrician, Health Winner and Homemaker badges were among the others which the girls worked on. Two swimming parties were held at Webster Hall, Detroit, where several girls passed their first class swimming, which is 50 yards, or part of athlete’s badge. During the spring the troop enjoyed a week-end at Evelyn Davis’s cottage. The patrol leaders and assistant patrol leaders are, for Patrol I, Sally Bovill and Marguerite Lab; Patrol 2, Jean Cameron and Jane Creith; Patrol 3, Marcella Lucas and Marguerite Marshall.

Wooley (assistant librarian) Under the sponsorship of Mrs. Jack, school librarian, the Library Club has grown from a membership of 12 to 30 in the four years it has been in ex- istence- During the past year many interesting times have been had by the members. Contrary to previous years, the members of the club this year did not pay dtfes. Each person paid for his own way to, or for, whatever they decided to do. Each month they enjoyed a party at the home of one of the members, and they had theatre parties at both the Bonstelle and Schubert-Detroit theatres. To interest mmbers in travel books has been the object of the organiza- tion during the past year. Several speakers who have been in parts of United States and Europe gave talks on their experiences. Margaret Calder spoke on Russia: Mr. Martin ave an account of his experiences in New England: Mrs. Caris told of her fishing trips in Canada: Miss Wolkins spoke on Alaska; and Mrs. Bruegemann and Mr. Rider also related some of their travel exper- iences. During the monthly club meetings members played librarv games which helped to create an interest in both books and their authors. As in other years, each tnembre of the club donated something for a bas- ket of food for a needy family. The basket contained enough food for a Thanksigiving dinner and staple groceries for two or three weeks longer. The club has enjoyed two special parties this year, a Hallow'een party in the home of Frieda Niemann and a Christmas party at Lela Woolev’s home. Irene Hansen is president, and Ann Cantwell secretary and treasurer. SENIOR HIGH ART CLUB Back row: J. Ballard, G. Miller, F. Ferguson, E. Hubbert, 1. Corrigan. D. McEachern, A. MacKinnon, B.

Francis The Senior High Art Club, supervised by Mrs. Hatch, has had a variety of experiences during the past year. At one of the programs Paul Honore, Detroit artist, spoke on the concep- tion of art. He inspired many of the young artists by telling them that “Any- one can draw, anyone can learn to draw.” He displayed a book illustrated with wood cuts as he talked. The club usually has two evening meetings a month, during which they work on all sorts of crafts, such as sketching, painting pictures and leather craft. The latter has proven most popular with the club members. Among other activities, they had an ice skating party this winter, and a social party, held in the school auditorium, which included dancing, games and a general good time- In the spring there were out-of-door sketching parties, when members took their lunches and spent fhe day sketching. Lambert Aneron, from the Seven Arts Acedemy, a new organization in Detroit, demonstrated sketching to the club, using colored chalk on the black- board. A lady who accompanied him showed how rug weaving was done. Donald Ebling is the president of the club. The vice-president is James Smart: secretary, Grace Wendt: and treasurer, Floyde Ferguson. Two com- mittees are chosen to manage the meetings, a social committee and a pro- gram committee. The former is made up of Dorothy McEachern, Floyd Fer- guson, Gail Reese, and Gerald Miller. The latter consists of Arvid Anderson. Jean Corrigan. Geneviev Francis, and Eugene Allmendinger. The members hope, by belonging to the club, to make the most of the ar- tistic talent they possess. From the work that has been put forth, they feel tney have accomplished a great deal with the time spent.
