TME J P I • N E E R. C O I� YRIG H T 19 3 4 By Margaret Webber and Eleanor Bowyer Printed ami Published in Dearborn High School Dearborn, Michigan I O N E E R Tlie 1934 graduating class dedicates this number of the Pioneer to Dorothy Smith, who has for 13 years guided the girls of Dearborn High School through the mazes of physical educa- tion, during which time she has earned the respect and admira- tion of all by reason of her fairness, industry, sense of duty, and ability to play the game. The class wishes her many more years of fruitful labor in her chosen field.

We had lost the seventh grade and a large part of the eighth grade. In addition many tui- tion students had been excluded- But a gloom was thrown over the year by the fact that twelve of those teachers who left in June were not with us again for the new year. The cheerful, understanding word from Helen Fletcher, the smiling greeting of John Tiefenthal. and the congenial presence of ten others were missing from the office and corridors. There was one new teacher, Mr. Black. The assignment of classes and their sizes, clubs, assemblies. Orange and Black, Pioneer. Washington Trip all gave rise to many questions- However, through the earnest cooperation of all, both students and faculty, organization was completed, students classified and classes well under way by the end of the first week. Teacher loads were increased and classes were much larger. Due to the necessity of doing ten month’s work in nine months and to the increased load of teachers, the activity program was greatly cur- tailed and the school clubs largely discontinued. Zero hour classes were also discontinued- Through the splendid spirit of the Senior Class the publishing of a Pioneer was made possible by the class giving up the Washington Trip. A group of students volunteered with Mr. Martin’s assistance to continue the Orange and Black and the Board of Education provided a printer in Mr. Cross who has kept up the work of that department. The usual professional activities of the faculty such as attending summer school and extension classes, participating in programs of the professional clubs and associations; and writing have perforce given way to evenings spent in “looking oVer papers’’ due to larger classes and insufficient salaries. The faculty is justly proud of the spirit with which both students and teachers attempted to meet the problem of the times. That the sacrifice has brought financial results to the district none can doubt. A budget has been balanced. It is to be hoped that not too many children have lost an incentive and an inspiration to a higher and fuller life- And it is the earnest hope of all that the time will soon come again when the education of children can be put ahead of expediency.

Bird, W. Sheldon, E. Pike, K. Smith. Front: Tullius, Cameron Manchester, Folger, Lewis, Abrams. Because of conditions under which this Pioneer was published this year it was necessary for the 11A and 12B homeroom picture to be taken together. Jean Cameron headed the 12B group, with William Sheldon, vice-president; Thomas Shaughnessy, secretary; Robert Ketchum, treasurer; and Edward Pike, representative. Mr. McCallister is the adviser of this 12B group. This homeroom gave a junior-senior banquet to the mid-year seniors of 1934. Elizabeth Evans was general chairman for the banquet, which was held at the Baptist Church on January 21. Edward Pike had a role’in the all-school play The Jade Necklace , and Elizabeth Evans was on the debating team. There are two 11A homerooms. The group from A through H has as its adviser. Miss Dietrich. The president is Jackson Bird: Robert Abrams, vice- president; Ivah Lewis, secretary; William Craig, treasurer; and Jane Folger, representative. The other 11A homeroom elected Karl Smith president. Other officers are Robert Tullius, vice-president: Ruth Manchester, secretary-treasurer; and Charles O’Brien, representative. The homeroom adviser of this grou'p is Mr. Gwinnell. All three homerooms combined to make the J-Hcfp the most unique dance ever held at Dearborn High School. Silver notes hung from a low ceiling of blue. Murals representing popular musical pieces lined the walls of the auditorium. Music was furnished by Ray Gorrell and Del Delbridge. Chairmen of committees were as follows: Leon Jones, decorating: Edward Pike, orchestra: Barbara Smith, publicity: DuWayne Lockmiller, tickets; and George Simmons, checkroom. A grand march, led by Karl Smith and Angeline Taft was a novel feature of the J-Hop. SOPHOMORE HOMEROOMS Back: Moore, J. Eldredge, C. Koppitsoh, O’Brien. Elphick. Front: Thompson, Ainsworth, Fryer, Butts, E. Smith, Kallachow. Divided into four groups, the sophomore class, under its sponsors Miss Doolittle. Miss Hainline, Mr. McIntyre and Mr. Mitchell, is completing its first year in senior high school. The 10A group, under Mr. McIntyre, chose Finn Olsen as their president at an early election. Later Jean Butts was chosen for president, Finn having resigned. W alter Ainsworth is vice- president and Orson Hughes, secretary- treasurer. I he first 10B group, whise initials are A through G, is under the sponsor- ship of Miss Hainline. John Eklridge is president; Lloyd Elphick, vice- president; and Josephine Fryer, secretary-treasurer. Donald Brian represents the 35 members in the student council. Each meeting a committee prepares a program ; these will he voted upon to find the best. Miss Doolittle is sponsor of the second group, containing 26 members whose initials are G through M. Of this group Clarence Koppitsch is president; Edward Kellachow. vice-president; Charlotte McCarroll. secretary-treasur- er. Eric Lundquest. who had represented them in the student council, has left and a new representative will he elected. Henry McLean is ht ad of a committee which takes care of programs for the homeroom meetings. Of those whose initials are N through Z. Mr. Mitchell is sponsor. There are 42 pupils in t,-,is group. Jack I hompsoti fills the president’s chair; Roger Ridley is vice-president: Elwin Smith, secretary; and James W’ilford, treas- urer. Am Muriel ' icary represents the homeroom in the student council. During the discussion on a standard emblem suitable for the school and to he used on the senior rings, Roger Ridley. Gordon Brown, Kathleen Hogu and yrena Batchelor represented the sophomore homerooms. I he annual sophomore dance has not yet taken place. Chatlotte Mc- ( arroll. Ruth Abbott. Alice Sautter and Jack Thompson have charge of the preparations. FRESHMAN HOMEROOMS Back: Johnson, Stacey, Guion, Hclmrich, H. Young. Front: Wilson, Laird, Strand, J. Howard, R. Davis, Eliason. Under the supervision of Miss Howser. Mr. Rider and Mr. Duke, the fresh- man class is divided into three groups. The officers of Miss Houser's homeroom are; President, Harold Young, who deserves special mention for presiding so ably over this unusually large group; vice-president, Hedley Stacey; secretary, Marjory Strand; treasurer, Delores Wilson; Representative, Virginia Neely. This homeroom was very active as a group, as well as having several outstanding individual members. In the freshman declamation contest. Marjory Strand was the winner, while Nan Robertson took second (place. Marjory also competed in the Twin V al- ley Activity Association contest and the City of Dearborn declamation con- test. John Steward. Mary Smith, and Delores Wilson took pa rt in junior high debates. Max Scallen was athletic manager for the freshman boys. This group also presented a variety assembly program in March. The pur- pose of the assembly was to promote school spirit, and the program consisted of a pep talk by Nan Robertson, Marjory Strand s declamation, a talk by Hedley Stacey, a skit from the senior play, and a freshman skit enacted by Robert Van Kck, Richard Moore, Miles Newell. V illvs McCloud, Mary Smith, Harold Young, and Marilyn Rothfuss. Virginia Neely was general chairman and announcer. Leading Mr. Duke’s homeroom are: President. Jean Howard: vice-presi- dent, Billy Guion: secretary, Virginia Laird: treasurer, Dewey Johnson. Janet Bird, Edith Evans, and Donald Ebling took part in junior high debates, and the homeroom presented an assembly program during the lirst semester. The third group, under the direction of Mr. Rider, is led by: President, Charles Hclmrich; vice-president. Ruth Davis: and secretary, Doris Eliason. Tn Februarv. the people in this homeroom became scjphomores, and on the Sophomore Dance committee are Helen Hclmrich and Ruth Davis. Tn sports the freshman girls were champions in volleyball and runners up in three court basketball, while the boys were champions in football and runners up in basketball. Although the freshmen were unable to have their class dance this year, they are planning a class party in the spring. VARSITY FOOTBALL Back: Sheldon, Levagood, Jones, Kerry, Wilkinson, Baden. Middle: Lynch, Wassman, Young, Olsen, Koppitsch, B. Jones, Pike, Abrams. Front: Nichols, McLean. Gianis, Albertson. Sodorquist, Sautter, Adair, Cordner, McEvoy. Dearborn emerged from its second year of competition in the Twin Valley Athletic Association, by winning one game and tying two out of seven games played. The Pioreeis were under the direction of Coach Milton Wagner, who taught the Notre Dame style of play. This type of play was new and it proved a difficult system to learn for the cleat-footed lads. However, with the return of six veterans, sufficient reserve material, and a host of favorable new members, the squad fought hard, only to lose the first two games to Wyandotte and Plymouth by the close scores of 7-6 and 14-0 respectively. They next met their long standing rivals, Wayne, and tied the game 6-6. Then the following week. Dearborn experienced its only victory, winning from Ypsilanti 6-0. After this inspiring success, they were swamped by the strong down river team. River Rouge, who later won the league champion- ship. After this severe trouncing the squad recuperated, as shown bv the tied score with Ecorse. another strong team from the down river section. Lincoln Park came forth on the top of a 12-0 score in Dearborn's final con- test. The football team played with six former varsity lettermen. Reserve ma- terial consisted of only two members. However, the new contestants con- stituted the much needed material for the remainder. The lack of interest and school spirit displayed throughout the season proved an unconquerable foe for the football team. The result of this should be seriously considered by Dearborn High Students. Varsitv letters were awarded to the following: Robin Adair, Charles Al- bertson. co-captain; Charles Soderquist. co-captain; Philip Baden, John Cordner. Milton Jones. Allen Kerry, Frank Koppitsch. G orge Levagood. Wilson McEvoy. John Olsen. Edward Pike. Charles Sautter. Robert Tullius. Henrv Wassman. Gordon Wilkinson. Watson Young. Henry McLean, and Byron Nichols. Thos who received reserve awards were: Charles Beers, Bruce Jones. Fred Wilson. Clarence Koppitsch. Harry Yert, and Edward Kallachow. Phili]) Lynch. Robert Abrams, and John AUmand deserve due credit as managers of the team. CROSS COUNTRY TEAM Back: Wetzel (coach), Scotten. J. Bird, Dickason. L. Jones, Simmons, Law. Front: White, Bingham, Bruce, Hayes, Evans, Major. Cross-country at Dearborn High tends to be a rival sport of football and for this reason all obtainable material for a team must be those who are not more interested in the latter sport. In spite of this fact, Coach Wetzel’s team did splendidly last season during which they won all their dual meets except one, in which Ecorse proved the better team. At the Regional meet they made a record place, being once more beaten by Ecorse. This was not, however, sufficient proof to the Dearborn men that Ecorse had the better of the two teams, so in the last meet of the season on Dearborn s own course, the Twin Valley League meet was held. On a Saturday morning during a blizzard which had already made a deep layer of snow on the ground, the teams of the League came together to decide as to the final victor. Ecorse, Vavne, River Rouge, and Dearborn men all hopeful of taking first place. Wayne, with the help of their yet undefeated man, Sanderson, hoped to win. In fact, as Coach Wetzel is quoted as saying before the start. “It’s anyone's meet. Dearborn was the winner, with almost twice as many points as the second team, which was that of W ayne. Alve Hayes was first man to finish, beating Sanderson of W ayne who was running his last meet in high school athletics. At the time of the presentation of letters Coach Wetzel said that he called this team the W onder I earn , because he always wondered who would fin- ish tiist. It happened that almost every one of the men who received varsity letters, at some time or another during the season.finished first of the team in meets. W allace Scotten was captain of the group and the other members who received letters were Alve Hayes. Leon Jones and Paul Major. Re- serve letters were awarded to George Simmons, Ronald Bruce, Harold Evans and Russell Nixon. Lloyd Bingham was elected captain for next year. TRACK TEAM Back: Forster, Wales, Olsen, Koppitsch, Sheldon, L. Jones, Pike, Simmons. Middle: Wetzel (coach), Glotzhober McCloud, Bingham, Scotten, Bird. Evans, Eldridge, Dickason, Law. Front: White. Donaldson. Cordner, Sautter, Soderquist. Kitson, Wilkinson, Thompson, Ware, Fremuth. The 1933 track team won the Twin Valley League Championship, pi act d second in the Regional meet, and third in the State meet. Birmingham beat Dearborn in the Regional meet and Birmingham and Niles beat Dearborn in the State meet at Lansing. Captain Cramer was the high point man of the season with a to'tal of 85 points. Those to win their events in the State meet were: Cramer, 220 yard low hurdles: and Koppitsch. shot put. The scores of the State meet are: Birmingham, 34 points: Niles, 22 points: and Dearborn. 17 points. Dearborn only ran one out-class meet this season. Dearborn had an indoor meet with Wyandotte and was defeated by a score of 58jZ - 55. Dearborn also lost a meet to Birmingham to the tune of 57 to 28. Bir- mingham, although not in T. Y. A. A. League, is in the same class as is Dearborn. Dearborn lost only these two dual meets. The Twin Valley Athletic Association is composed of Dearborn, Wa’vne, Ypsilanti. Ecorse, River Rouge, and Plymouth. Dearborn defeated all of these t -ams three times. Once in the dual meets, once in the League meet, and in the Regional meet. Captain Cramer was not able to compete in the first part of the season due to a wrenched back. The squad this year is the largest dv r to represent Dearborn High School. Frank Koppitsch, a shot putter, was elected captain by the letter winners. Veterans expected to carry out the high standards set this year are: Kop- pitsch. Scotten. McCloud. Fremuth, Kitson, Ware, and Soderquist. Among the new-comers John Olsen. Leon Jones. Lloyd Bingham. Alve Haves and Tack Bird, seem to have very promising futures in track. Although Mr. Wetzel, track coach, expects a very good season next spring, the graduating veterans, Arthur East. Capt. Cramer. Robert Whitney, Arthur Stobbe. Orlen Zahnow and Wesley Roeser will be greatly missed as point-winners. VARSITY AND RESERVE BASKETBALL Back: Nichols, Tullius, Aldrich, Schroeder, Koppitsch, Roth, Kitson. Ellstrom, McLean. Middle: Van Steenis, Adair, Law, Smart, Fremuth, F. Laird, Levagood, Oldenburg. Front: McIntyre (coach), Albertson, C. O'Brien, Sautter, Soderquist, Wilkinson, K. Smith, Cordner, R. Smith. The Dearborn High School basketball varsity squad, during its second year of competition in the Twin Valley Athletic Association, attained second plac . and defeated the league leaders. Wayne, in both of the scheduled con- tests. Out of thirteen games on the calendar. Dearborn n tted eight victories and let slip five. Th? home team earned a total of 265 joints: their opponents obtaining only 236. The number of field goals for the varsity was 116; for the rivals 83. The participants on the varsities of former years, who returned for com- petitive action were: Charles Albertson, Carl Roth, Frank Koppitsch, Charles Sautter, and Captain Karl Smith. The latter was ineligible during the first half of the season. Among others who have seen previous action ar : George Levagood. Robin Adair. Charles Soderquist, Walter Kitson, and Myron Schroeder. Th: high scoring honors belong to Frank Koppitsch, with 69 points, while Gordon Wilkinson followed closely with 66. Although the second team did not acquire as many points as the exper- ienced varsity squad, they manag:d to lead their opponents by nine points; Dearborn having a total of 188 points, and their rivals attaining 179. The Dearborn reserves won six games, lost five, and tied two. The re- serve material consisted mainlv of new, activ enthusiasts. Members of of this squad are nearly all sophomores, and so hove two years of competition in front of them. When the league schedule ended. Coach McIntyre selected a squad of 12 members, and traveled with them, as in former years, to the Regional Tour- nament at Fordson High School. The outcome was not successful, as Dear- born was beaten by River Rouge, by a score of 18 - 13. This result was not expected, as earlier in the season Dearborn won one game easily, and lost another to River Rouge by the score of 26 - 25. Varsitv letters were awarded to the following; Albertson. Wilkinson, Kop- pitsch. Sautter. Roth. Fremuth. Cordner. Sod rquist, Levagood, Kitson Smith and McLean. VARSITY CLUB Back: Soderquist, Wilkinson, Kerry, Albertson. Middle: Grophear (adviser), Fremuth, Tullius, Grisham, Pike, Adair, Sautter, L. Jones. Front: Molby, McLean, Levagood, Olsen, Koppitsch, Sheldon, Smith, M. Jones. Members of the Varsity Club, as it has been re-named, and which was formerly the Alpha Beta Tan, have reorganized under a new constitution. Mr. Grophear, former assistant principal, was sponsor until his resignation to accept a post in the Greenfield Village Schools, at which time Mr. Challis became the adviser. Only Dearborn High boys are eligible to membership, and except for the original 20 members all must be holders of varsity letters in some athletic activity of the school. No more and no less than 20 mem- bers may be included at one time. The constitution sets forth certain rules and objectives which tend to make the club an asset to the school in that they see that only worthy athletes wear Dearborn’s varsity emblem. Promotion of sports, the sponsoring of at least one school dance each year, and character-building among their members are additional objectives of importance in the club. Election of officers at the time of their reorganization made Karl Fremuth president: Charles Soderquist, vice-president: and Ralph Molby. secretary- treasurer. The officers will hold their positions for the school year of 1933- 34. Meetings will be held twice a month, once every other week. New members are elected to the club by a majority vote. Amendments to the constitution are mad. by a two-thirds majority vote of the members, and th'e present constitution will be in effect until June, 1938. Violation of any of the rules of this constitution by any member is punishable by his resignation and the turning in of his membership pin. From now. the Varsity Club will do its part to see that Dearborn High has the finest athletic teams in the country. BASEBALL Back: Tullius, Sheldon, Kerry, M. Jones, Frye, Kulas. Middle: Kallachow, Aldrich, Maples, Smart, Smith, J. White, Levagood, Hughes, F. Laird. Front: Bovili, B. Jones, C. O’Brien, McLean, Sautter. Soderquist, Wilkinson, Shaugh- nessy, R. Smith, Wassman. Although the Dearborn High baseball team did not capture the title last season. the crack of the bat sounded often enough to gain it a moderate per- centage of the games played. 1 he team brought home four victories out of seven games, which ga6e it a .57143 average. Competition between veterans and newcomers proved to be a great factor in attaining positions o:i the field during the foregoing season. The fact that only a few experienced players are returning this year, will undoubtedly increase the competitive spirit to an even greater degree. Among those whose loss will be felt deeply by the team are Paul Starck, a valuable outfielder, who held the highest batting average by rising far above the 300 mark: ex-Captain Carl Schmoekel. Dearborn’s outstanding backstop, who. for a period of three years proved a great asset to the team; and Frank Aldrich, who contributed unsurpassed service to the infield. With a promising squad of 36. Coach McIntyre is looking forward to a very successful season. Only six games are definitely scheduled. Two games each are to be played with the following schools: Lincoln Park, Roval Oak. and Fordson. In all probability, other games will be played with Melvindale, MacKenzie, Pershing, and Southwestern, as negotiations for them are now in progress. Among those who have previously played and have returned are: Carl Smith, the pitching star: Peter Chilkewitz; and Henry Wassman. also competing for fhe pitching position, and who may offer good substitution for Smith: Georg Levagood. Milton Jones. Joseph Maples, and Ted Kowal. Donald Bock and William Day are the managers of the team. GIRLS’ TUMBLING TEAM Top: C. Taylor, H. Davis, J. Solomon, N. Solomon, F. Randazzo. Bottom: E. Simmons, C. Yetka, C. Dietrich, Zink, D. Wood, Batchelor, D. Manser, Folger. The pyramid chosen by the girls’ tumbling team for this year’s Pioneer picture is a combination of several commonly constructed ones. While the center portion of the pyramid is generally composed of two or four persons, this pyramid employs a center section of five in order to accommodate the add numbered group. There are 15 members in the class, one less than that of last year. They are Elaine Simmons, Carolyn Zink, Catherine Yetka, Vyrcna Batchelor. Dorothy Wood. Jennie Solomon. Jane Folger and Nellie Solomon, with Ruth Simmons, HeLn Davis and Marjorie Allen hack as post- graduates. The course of instruction followed was similar to that of previous years. Exercise on the horse occupied the first month, stunts on the parallel bars the second, mat exercises the third and pyramid the fourth month of the first semester. During the fifth month, each girl designed an original pyra- mid, assigned places, and directed its building. The second semester consists largely of mat work. At the end of the term each member must be able to execute a head spring, handspring, back- ward roll through a hand stand, backward roll to a head stand, shoulder throw, a long dive over at least three people, a high dive, snap-up and a forward chest roll. TlYe ability to climb up one rope, cross over and down the next rope is also required. Mat work is practiced three days one week and two days the next, the alternate days being devoted to volleyball, basket- ball, baseball or tennis. Tumbling makes for an all-round development of the body, and is an in- valuable asset to corrective classes, particularly the rolling exercises. Though it is a muscular activity, there is little strain entailed as individuals are working together. BAND Back: Baden, Wallace, Young, Schroeder, C. O’Brien, Ware, D. Black, N. Petrak. Middle: Black (Teacher), Ziegler, D. Donaldson, Laird, Sullivan, Sponenburgh, Newkirk, Ludvik, Freeman, Hagelthorne, Riter.our. Front: J. Bird, Michelis, Walker, D. Brvant, M. Laird, M. Bowver. Like other musical organizations this year, the band has been smaller too. the school enrollment having been somewhat smaller than that of previous years. Mr. Black assumed charge of the group, having returned from his studies at the University of Michigan to take the place of John Tiefenthal. band instructor for the past six years, who is now on leave o,f absence. After only two weeks of practice, the band [played at the meeting of the Junior Citizenship Club- “Considering the fact that it had only been prac- ticing for two weeks, the band performed very well,” said Mr. Black. The St. Lawrence Waterway parade in Detroit next claimed the musician- ship of the youthful performers, and. as always, they responded well. This was their first marching. Only those who have marched can appreciate the difficulty of the process, especially for young people. Mr- Black was pleased with their success- Something of an innovation this year, the band played at all the home football games, besides playing at many of the basketball games in order to give that extra bit of excitement. Music at the games is always appre- ciated. It also shared with the orchestra the playing at both the senior and the all-school plays. Altogether, the group had plenty of experience in ap- pearing before the public, experience highly desirable in accustoming young performers to playing under varied circumstances, and in developing that savoir faire so necessary in the musical field. When asked for a few remarks for publication in the Pioneer, Mr. Black said, in part. “The band had a very successful year. The future looks very bright. Verv few seniors are in the band so that the present membership will be intact for next year,” ORCHESTRA Back: Hitter, Meyers, Anderson, O’Brien, Schroeder, Baden, D. Black, Donaldson. Second: Ware, Glozthober, Wallace, Young, Smart, Sponenburgh, Laird, Ritenour, Fox. Third : D. Bryant, K. Wilson, Rawlings, Coleman. Front: Fiske, L. Smith, Marshall, D. Wilson, J. Bowyer, H. Scott. Wisman, Smart, Knipp, Bowyer. Although not so large as those of former years, the orchestra under the leadership of Miss McManus- worked diligently. It consisted of about 30 members, among them three post-graduates and six seniors. According to custom, the group has played in public a number of times as well as for various school affairs- Among the latter were the, two plays,, the all-school and the senior, it being the custom for the band a id orchestra each to play for one of the two performances of each play. In December the group played for the American Legion and in January for the mid-year graduation exercises. Playing for extra activities keeps the members busy practicing. During the second semester members played at the Oxford School, and later in the term the orchestra acted as the accompaniment for the ambitious cantata. I Hear America Singing.” by Whitman and Gaul, given by the mixed chorus. Several individual members have played in outside programs, among them Louise Smith, harpist, who has played in many of the churches and schools in Dearborn and at the Unitarian Church in Farmington. Bill Hitter, violinist, has also done solo work in Farmington. A small group of orchestra members is known as the High School Ensemble. Among the compositions studied this year are the following: “Merry Wives of Windsor”, Nicolai: “Adoration”, Borowski; “Yalse Triste”. Si- belius; and “ March Militaire”, Saint-Saens. CHORUS Back: J. Allmand, P. Major, Pike, Sheldon, Bock, Anderson, Gianis, Littie, Hughes F. Wilson. Middle: Black (teacher), G. Miller, Taylor, Manchester, McDonald, Starck, Frances, Fiske, Hollowed. Front: Huebner, Scallen, Spencer, Haigh, Easton, Straith, Penrod, Ristow, Lindenmuth. Throughout a year of optimism and pessimism combined, and in spite of discouraging factors, the mixed chorus has gone its way, winning laurels to itself by reason of its carrying on in spite of difficulities. The chorus is composed of the two glee clubs, and has had an average mem- bership this year of approximately 30. It meets three times a week- The membership was somewhat larger in the second semester, with girls pre- dominating. The repertoire has been a varied one- extended to include all types of music from the strict classic to the semi-popular- The major work has been the ambitious cantata “I Hear America Singing.” words by Walt Whitman, the poet, and music by Harvey Gaul. It is a work that will never be forgotten. The chorus has made a number of public appearances. These include singing at educational mass meetings, and at the senior vesper services, where their singing was admired. Robert Black. ’31, left his studies at the University of Michigan to come back to his Alma Mater and direct both the Boys’ Glee Club and chorus. “The chorus” he says, “looks at the future with much optimism. The or- ganization has improved 100 per cent since the first of the year-” This is a fine record, since this is Mr. Black’s first teaching experience. Following is a partial list of composition learned by the chorus under Mr. Black’s direction; “Send Out Thy Light”, Gounod; The Lost Chord”, Sul- livan ; “Sanctus”, from the “Mass in B, Minor”, Bach; and “Crossing the Bar” Barnby. Since the membership to be lost by graduation will be small, the outlook for next year’s chorus is extremely bright. BOYS’ GLEE CLUB Back. Major. W. Sheldon, Bock. Anderson, Hughes. Hollowell. Front: Black (teacher), G. Miller, J. Allmand. Pike, Gianis, J. Little, F. Wilson. The voice groups began the season with a new instructor. Robert Black, ’31. who had been studying at the University of Michigan for two years- He was employed to replace Harold Koch, now pursuing advanced studies in music at the University. Mr. Black had the advantage of knowing the ground and was not long in getting into the swing of the work. Since many of last year s boys graduated, the group for the current year was smaller, there being 12 in the club. According to their teacher, there will be fewer voices lost this year by graduation and he declares that everything Points to a promising future. The chief difficulty has been lack of proper balance, to overcome which every resource available has been called upon. The boys meet twice a week alone and three days with the Girls' Glee Club, the two forming the mixed chorus. Although there have been fewer public appearances this year, because, no doubt, financial conditions have curtailed social activities in the comnuin- ty, the boys have sung at a number of public, gatherings, including the Ma- sonic lodge. Dearborn has always prided itself on its high school musical facilities, especially where public appearance are concerned, and the value of musical training is clearly apparent to those citizens who have had the opportunity of hearing the boys' group perform, even under the handicap of improper balance. I he major work of the year has been a rather ambitious one. Walt Whit- man's stirring cantata I Hear America Singing,” in conjunction with the girls’ group. Whitman's work seems especially appropriate to our present civilization, the words couched in strong, vigorous language, hopeful and optimistic, the music adapted to the virile thought of the poet. Scarcely any other work is so likely to inspire students in the formative period, and to impress upon them the true greatness of the American civilization- Dearborn is fortunate that its music program has not been doomed as a “fad or frill,” as he been the case in so manv communities. ORANT,E AND BLACK STAFF Hack: Ridley. K. P.i.wyer, Sn; vv, Stolte, Ka:t, Freniuth, MacKinnon, Koehler Larsen. Front: Lucas, Webber, Owen, Rothfuss, Sollinger, Marshall, Schmidt, Bierma. Due to curtailment of the teaching staff, no class in Orange and Black was offered the first semester. Later on, because of numerous student requests for a school paper. Mr. Hood made a study of the possibilities of reviving the Orange and Black and concluded that the project would he feasible if enough students were willing to undertake it as an extra-curricular subject. A group of former journalism and Orange and Black students agreed to the plan and. under the supervision of Mr. Martin, work was immediately begun on the first issue, which appeared on Nov. 10. 1933. The new ar- rangement provided for a bi-weekly rather than weekly publication and regular staff meeting only twice a week- Editor Margaret Webber, assistant Kathryn Owen, business managers William Stolte and Ruthene Sollinger. sports editor Karl Fremuth, and cir- culation managers Irene Koehler and Agnes McKinnon composed the per- sonel. The reporters were Charlotte Schmidt. Eleanor Bowyer. Marguerite Marshall, Leona Bierma. Charlotte Larsen. Marjorie Rothfuss. Marcella Lucas. Sally Bovill, Peggy Snow, Lillian Ridley. Arthur East, and Allen Kerry. Provision for the regular course in Orange and Black was made in the second semester curriculum. This gave the staff a chance to compete for Quill and Scroll honors and also to receive scholastic credit for their work. It is unique that this second semester staff consisted entirely of girls, for the, first time in the history of the paper. Many of the girls had previously served on the staffs of former years. Kathryn Owen was editor, with Ruthene Sollinger as her assistant. Char- lotte Schmidt and Elsie Wyman were business managers. Marjorie Rothfuss was sports editor, while circulation was in charge of Marguerite Marshall Eleanor Bowyer. Charlotte Larsen. Marcella Lucas. Peggy Snow. Lillian Ridley. Jean Bowyer. and Margaret Webber were the reporters. LIBRARY STAFF Back: Vanderhoof, Landsberg, Hansen, Straubel, Robbins, Shuell, Sowle, Garrison Randazzo. Front: Grandy, Rhodes, Johnson, Cantwell, Jack (librarian), Husse, Thiede, Van Loon Woolley (assistant librarian). Due to the ban on junior high and C students having been removed the library class has increased. Where there was one assistant for each hour before, Mrs. Jack now has two and some hours three helping her. There are 22 taking the course this semester, and. although boys may elect it, the class happens to be strictly composed of girls. This is the seventh year Mrs. Jack has taught the library course in the Dearborn High School. Since only one outside assignment a month is given, students receive just 1-4 credit a semester. Mrs. Jack has compiled a booklet containing information on how to file cards, charge books, use the references and lile. all of which are taught in the course. Students use it as their text-book. Mending books, filing magazines and pictures, alphabeting cards, keeping attendance records and desk duty compose the daily routine. Since there are two or more students in the library at a time, it is necessary for them to alternate on desk duty. Beginners are employed in the work room for the first semester where they learn the fundamentals. Looking up interesting displays for the center show table in the library is an interesting part of the course. Mrs. Bruegeman contributed the dis- play of Roman homes and stages by the students of her Latin classes: Mr. Martin, a collection of Mexican curios; and. Mr. Duke, a novel display of stuffed birds, mounted insects, and preserved snakes. Many students take advantage of the library, keeping it full every hour. There is a shortage of American history material, but no new books of any kind have been bought- There are no newspapers this year and only half as many magazines. GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB Back: Scailcn, Spencer, Manchester, Penrod, Ilaigli, McDonald, Starck. Front: Frances: Huebner, Easton, Lindenmuth, Ristow, Straith, Fiske. 4- This year’s Girls’ Glee Club has been far superior to any group so far in respect to individual musicianship, cooperation and spirit, It included 16 girl. Margaret Fiske acted as head librarian for the first term and Virginia Penrod as secretary. Ruth Manchester and Florence Spencer filled the positions, respectively, the second semester. Following is a partial list of compositions learned: “How Can I Leave Thee” (Folk Song): “A Nocturne” by Protheroe; “In the Garden of My Heart”; “Song of India”; “Morning”; “Pakoble the Rose” (Indian Folk). The Girls’ Glee Club is part of the mixed chorus and the chorus songs are partially learned during the Glee Chib hour. The major work for the year is the cantata I Hear America Singing,” by Harvey Gaul and Walt Whitman Last year Olive Haigh represented the group in both the State Chorus and the North Central Chorus. This year the following girls will be given the privilege of attending the All-State Chorus at the Interlochen National Camp: Laverne Straith. Dorothy Lindenmuth. Sally Bovili� Florence Spencer, sopranos ; and Olive Haigh, alto. The Club put on a Christmas program at the Baptist Church. The out- standing features of the program were a solo. “The Rosary”, by Hester Easton, and a solo by Laverne Straith. “Christmas Song. One of the most successful programs was that sung at the January commencement. Each month the girls arc required to sing a solo, Which g'ives them practice and poise. The factors that are taken into consideration in grading their solos are tonation, tempo, classification, phrasing and memorization. Miss McManus, who directs the group, says that she has had more pleasure in teaching this year’s group than those of former years. Back: Mauerhoof, Fremuth, Rothfuss. Front: Owen, Sollinger, Schmidt, Webber. Quill and Scroll is an international honorary society for student journalists, and Dearborn High School received its charter in 1929, with Mr. Martin as adviser. Since that time 40 boys and girls have been admitted to the chapter for their outstanding work on the Orange and Black. Requirements for aspirants to the society include character and versatility in writing, the candidate submitting before the national committee, examples of news stories, feature stories, and editorials, which he has had pub- lished in his school paper. Mr. Martin has added another requirement for Dearborn journalists- Each one saves, over a period of several months, clippings of some newspaper feature in which he is especially interested, such as poetry, cartoons, columns or editorials. At the end of the semester the clippings are collected in book form, accompanied by a short essay, and handed in to Mr. Martin. All prospective members must be juniors or seniors, and have at least one semester of work on their school publication to their credit. Dearborn's standard has always been highly praised by the national secretary-treasurer. In June, 1933, 10 girls were initiated into Quill and Scroll at the annual honor assembly. These people were: Ruthene Sollinger, Kathryn Owen, Marjorie Rothfuss, Charlotte Schmidt, Margaret Webber, Ingeborg Mauer- hoff, Shirley Dasher, Katherine Moore, and Margaret Owen. At the mid- semester honor assembly no new members were taken in. due to the fact that during the first semester, the Orange and Black was issued by a volunteer staff, and under conditions which made outstanding writing im- possible. However, Karl Fremuth. sports editor, of the first semester paper, became a member and received his pin because of his commendable work during this period. This semester several members of the Orange and Black staff have com- pleted projects, and done the required type and amotfnt of writing, so that once more there will be a Quill and Scroll initiation ceremony at the 'June honor assembly. ALL SCHOOL PLAY Back: McCloud, P.ke, Otis. Front: Lucas, Sagar, McKay, Rider (director), Bovill, Webber. The Jade Necklace”, by Marion Short was a three-act comedy, selected for the annual all-school play by Mr. Rider and approved by Mr. Hood and Miss Mitchell. The cast included Sally Bovill, as Margery Moreland; Margaret Webber. Doris Lee: Edward Pike. Biff Moreland, a breezy boy; Jean Sagar. Julianna Banks; Erwin Otis, Bert Hawtrey. a fascinating man of the world; Robert McCloud. Dick Sylvester; Marcella Lucas. Hetty, an absent-minded servant girl: and Sara McKay. Mrs. Lee, the attractive step-mother. The action revolved about the disappearance of a jade necklace at Doris Lee’s party. Who was the thief? It couldn’t have been sweet, sensible Margie; nor honest Dick Sylvester; Julianna really wouldn’t take it although she threatened to; Biff Moreland, a little too impetuous to he a thief; Bert Hawtrey. too much of a sophisticate to stoop to jewel thieving; Hetty, too absent-minded; Mrs. Lee. too fond of her daughter to make off with her inheritance; and Doris would not make off with her own necklace. Everyone was suspected and all (played a part in unravelling the crime of :the semi- mystery with its interwoven romance- Marguerite Marshall and Arthur East acted as prompters. The properties committee was composed of Kathryn Owen, Charlotte Schmidt. Jean Robert- son- Orlen Zahnow, and Walter Kitson. Senior girls acting as ushers were Virginia Bargert. Margaret Higgs. Dollie Manser, and Mildred Wickens. In the afternoon, music was furnished by the Dearborn High School Band under the direction of Mr. Robert Black, and at the evening performance the high school orchestra played under the direction of Miss Beatrice Mc- Manus. Although the play was given only twice, once in the afternoon and once in the evening, the play was a financial success, making a profit of $78, which was $36 more than the all-school play made last yeaij. Clarence Kresin was business manager. SENIOR PLAY Back: Law, Soderquist, Hall, Fremutli. Front: Lynch, Wyman, Whitehead, Schmidt, Marshall, Kresin. The Enemy”, a four-act play by Charming Pollock was chosen this year for the senior play because the director, Mr. Rider, felt that the cast of nine characters and he would be doing their part in staving off another world war. The two outstanding roles were carried by Charlotte Schmidt, as Pauli, a young wife and mother who becomes a widow and childless because of the war. and Clarence Kresin. as Dr. Arndt, an elderly professor who is the father of Pauli; he loses his chair at the university because of his paci- fist views. The supporting cast consisted of Ralph Hall as Carl Behrendt, the husband of Pauli and who is the son of August Behrendt. a blusteVjng fellow who profits by catastrophes of war. well portrayed by Charles Soderquist. Mar- guerite Marshall portrayed the part of Mizzi Winkelman, a gay and happy wife who grows bitter after the war wrecks her life and her husband’s; Fritz Winkelman played by Karl Fremuth portrayed the part of a promising young journalist who goes off to war and returns in a crazed condition. Kurt, the six year old son of the Winkelmans’ was taken by John Lee W bite- head a sixth grade student of the Garrison School. Bruce Gordon was con- vincingly played by Kenneth Law as an Englishman caught in antagonistic territory at the outbreak of the war, but returning at the close of the war. as an old friend. Jan, portrayed by Philip Lynch, breaks the news of Carl's death. Baruska. the maid of the Arndt family, and who profits by the war prices was portrayed by Elsie Wyman- Marjorie Rothfuss and Betty Miller prompted. A committee composed of Lillian Ridlev, chairman; Peggy Snow, Jean Gition. Walter Kitson. Kathryn Owen, and Jean Robertson secured properties which fitted the setting re- quirements exceptionally well. Stage managers were Wallace Scotten, Otlen Zahnow, Willis Bredlow, and Paul Major. Miss Betts had charge of the make-ifp of the cast and Margaret W ebber took charge of all financial problems. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Rack: Law, Kresin, Zahnow. Front: Webber, Bovill, Wright, Mauerhoof. Under the supervision of Miss Retts, Mathematics teacher, the National Honor Society has for many years been an established institution in Dear- born High School, holding an impressive initiation ceremony at each honor assembly, at which times, those who are already members, dressed in caps and gowns, deliver inspirational poems and administer the pledge to the new members, who then sign the scroll and receive their pins. To add one’s name to the 85 already on the scroll belonging to the National To add one’s name to the 86 already on the scroll belonging to the National Honor Society is the aim of almost every pupil of the Dearborn High School and has been for the past eight years. At the last election, held in February, Sally Bovill, Kenneth Law and Robin Adair, all seniors, won the honor. In June. Miriam Wright, Ingeborg Mauerhoff, Frances Stacey and Arthur Stobbe, who are now alumni, were elected with Margaret Webber and Clar- ence Kresin, seniors. To be chosen one must he in the upper 1-3 of his class in scholarship, must rank high in character, service and leadership Only 11A and senior class members are eligible. Of the 11A 5 per cent may be elected, of the 12B 10 per cent and of the 12A 15 per, cent- The maximum allowed has never been elected. Before the semi-annual honor assemblies ballots are passed out among the seniors and teachers with the possible candidates’ names on them. Teachers’ and seniors’ votes usually correspond. When the school was opened in 1926 Dearborn was admitted as a chapter of the National Honor Society, before that our school had been too small. In many schools those of the society form a club with helping other students as their aim. The honor of belonging, and of being elected is more import- ant, however, and we do not have any such club organized in the school. A plan was proposed to put the scroll in a show case in the main corridor so that all might see the signatures of those belonging and so that it might be an inspiration to others- This plan, however, was not carried out. PIONEER STAFF Back: Molby, Dickason, Bird. Front: McKinnon, E. Bowyer, Penrod, Marshall, Webber. This year s Pioneer was made possible by the senior class, which, when it discovered there were insufficient funds in the treasury to finance the usual senior Washington trip, devoted the entire sum to the publication of the annual. Since this money represented only about one-half the sum necessary for this project, a series of activities were planned, the proceeds going to the Pioneer fund. These activities included a dance, a benefit bridge party, an auction of goods left over from last s ear’s senior sales, the collection and sale of old newspapers, and a play, “The Enemy’’, by Channing Pollock. With the financial factor thus provided for, attention was directed to the book itself, which is dedicated to Mrs. Smith, girls' physical education in- structor. Margaret Webber, capably assisted by Agnes McKinnon, has done her usual excellent work in editing this Pioneer. As business manager, Eleanor Bowyer has proven herself very capable. Those who contributed articles are Marguerite Marshall, Virginia Penrod, Ralph Molby, Jack Bird. Richard Dickason and Leona Bierma. Credit for the excellent art work goes to Wal- lace Scotten. The Arthur Studios again did the photography work with engraving by the Service Engraving Company. This is the twelfth annual to be published and printed by Dearborn High School students. The 1934 Pioneer costs $1 a copy and it will not be sub- mitted to the National Critical Service for a rating. The last available rating is that of 1932, in which year it was ajudged second-class or C grade. The design of this year book is simple, embellishments being few, the scenics and photography being the sole decorations except for the art work on the division pages. DEBATING TEAM AND FORENSIC LEAGUE Back: E. Evans, E. Wyman. Front: J. Sagar, J. Bird, C. Kresin, P. McGeachy. The 1933 debate team broke even this year, winning two out of the four debates entered. The question this year was: Resolved, that the federal government should own and control all radio broadcasting Stations in the United States. In the negative debates Dearborn won against Lincoln Park and lost to River Rouge- The negative squad was composed of Phyllis Mc- Geachey, Elizabeth Evans, and Clarence Kresin. In the affirmative Debates Dearborn won from Ypsilanti and lost to Ply- mouth. Affirmative debaters were Margaret Higgs, Elizabeth Evans, Jean Sa'gar. Jack Bird and Clarence Kresin- Much credit is due Miss Howser for her diligent work with this gVoup. Elizabeth Evans, Jean Sagar, and Phyllis McGeachy assisted Miss Howser in coaching three freshman debating teams. Besides debating Clarence Kresin represented Dearborn High School in the Washington Oratorical contest. Clarence was awarded second place after a very close decision. Marjorie Strand won first place in the freshman declamation contest in the Twin Valley Activity Association and the City of Dearborn contest. Clarence Kresin in oratory, Bernard Carroll in declamation and Kenneth Law in extempore speaking represented Dearborn in the Michigan High School Forensic Association contest and together with Marjorie Strand par- ticipated in the National Forensic League Tournament. A gift from the Kiwanis Club in 1929 made it possible to organize a local chapter of the National Forensic League to promote interscholastic contests in debating, Oratory, declamation and extempore speaking. Points are awarded for various activities in the speech field. Clarence Kresin, presi- dent of the local chqjiter, had the highest number of points this year. Miss Howser was faculty adviser and coach of all forensic activities. RGANIZATIONS SUB-DEB CLUB Back: Taft, E. Wyman, B. Miller, Snow, Rothfuss, C. Schmidt, Marshall, Robertson, Manser. Front: Smith, Ridley, Penrod, Bartel, Sollinger, Webber, Lucas, Ristow, Sheldon. Although the Sub-Deb Club lias no sponsor it has come through its first year very successfully- Margaret Webber and Charlotte Schmidt drew up the plans during the summer and the girls organized the club on September 20- 1933. Officers were elected. Charlotte Schmidt and Margaret Webber were elected co- presidents: Marjorie Rothfuss, corresponding secretary: Marcella Lucas, recording secretary; and Ruthene Sollinger, treasurer. With Kathryn Owen as chairman, a constitution was drawn up and formally approved by all mem- bers. Their motto First weigh; then venture”, was selected from a group comprised by a committee with Marguerite Marshall as chairman. Some form of etiquette was discussed at each meeting, such as: polite- ness in conversation, dancing, dining, and playing. Football and basketball rules and plays were explained by Ruthene Sollinger. Many girls submitted various individual problems for discussion, and one evening was devoted to bettering a few of the girls’ coiffures. Meetings were held on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month at the homes of the girls. Their first party was an outstanding event. Eighteen couples dressed iu every conceivable sort of costume, enjoyed a Hallowe’en party at the home of Louise Smith- A formal New Year’s party was held in the recreation room at the Fort Dearborn Lodge under the supervision of Betty Sheldon. T hey were chap- eroned by Mr. and Mrs. William Conrad. Among their activities in March were a St. Patrick’s party at the home of Edna Bartel, a tea for their mothers, at which each girl displayed some garment she had made for herself.

After reorganizing in January the Dearborn Chapter of Girl Reserves, with the help of their advisers Miss Marianne Kruke and Miss Xelda Distin. held many interesting and delightful meetings. Miss Sue Stille and Miss Hendricks of the Detroit Y. W. C. A., came out from Detroit the evening of their reorganization and submitted helpful plans for creating interest in the club. Officers were all reelected but for the office of vice-president. The officers were Elsie Wyman, president; Virginia Penrod, vice-president; Marjorie Rothfuss. recording secretary; Betty Miller, corresponding secretary; Charlotte Schmidt, treasurer: and Kathryn Owen, inter-club councilor. These with the advisers and standing committee chairmen Marguerite Marshall, social; Marcella Lucas, program; Charlotte Schmidt, finance: Helen Davis, ring: and Angeline Taft, publicity, comprised the cabinet of the club. This year marked the beginning of admitting all junior and senior girls interested in the organization; formerly girls were elected into membership of the club. Ten new members were taken into the club at a pot-luck initiation dinner held in the high school cafeteria, under Elsie Wyman as chairman, in De- cember- Their period of activity began immediately after the reorganization. A delightful tea was held at the home of Miss Kruke. Mrs. Asa Stutsman spoke on a subject well known to her, that of world friendship and peace. Following a short discu'ssion a social hour was held in which tea and cookies were served. Other activities included a party at the home of Helen Jackson, a meeting at Miss Krukc’s home, at which her sister. Miss Margaret Kruke told of Girl Reserve and Y. W. C. A. activities in Syria. Miss Stille came out regularly f'rom Detroit to help with plans- At Easter time the girls sold Sanders’ Easter chocolates to pay for their Pioneer pic- ture. HI-Y CLUB Back: Scotten. Law, C. Kresin, Roth, R. Ketchum, Kitson. Front: Otis, Zahnow, Oldenburg, Gianis, Bock, East. Hi-Y is a branch of the Young Men’s Christian Association. The club at- tempted to uphold the fine standards set by the 1933 organization. Club meetings were held on the first and third Thursdays of each month up to March, and then the meetings were transferred to the school, which is more centrally located and affords a better meeting place. Harold Koch, though living in Ypsilanti, has continued his work as sponsor of the club. In the fall election. Orlen Zahnow was chosen president; Ford Simnods, vice-president; Clarence Kresin, secretary; and Erwin Otis, treas- urer. Wallace Scotten had charge of social functions and Art East was elected to act as sergeant-at-arms, whose duty it is to preserve order at the meetings. Due to Art’s graduation in February, Howard. Oldenburg was elected to take his place- In the spring ten pledges underwent the formal and informal initiation, to be duly enrolled in the organization. The pledges who were taken in were John Olsen. Finn Olsen, Ralph Smith, Charles O’Brien, Leon Jones, Gerald Losev, Robert Abrams, Duane Dates, Theodore Oelkers, and Charles Smith. In the fall of 1933 a joint dance was given by theVarsity Club and Hi-Y. It was a financial success and the profits were divided between the two clubs. A friendly rivalry has existed between these two clubs for some years, since their organization, in fact. The rivalry continued in ping-pong and basketball. The monthly activities included a stag party given at the Masonic Temple in Ypsilanti, and an alumni dinner at the Dearborn Inn which was made a success through the assistance of a committee consisting of Donald Bock, Howard Oldenburg, Carl Roth and Proctor McGeachy. The annual dinner dance was held at the Charles McKenny Hall in Ypsilanti April 14, being the largest and most important of the social events given during the year. Much discussion and planning were necessary in order to make the affair a social and financial success. Kenneth Law was in charge of the arrangements- SCIENCE CLUB Back: Gwinnell (adviser), Freeman, Baker, Cleveland, Laird, Meyers. Front: Donaldson, Bunting, Ridley, W. McCloud, C. Smith, D. Bird. In order that students of Dearborn High who are interested in science, and wish to learn more than is taught in the regular physics and chemistry courses, may obtain additional knowledge in these lines, the Science Club has been organized under the supervision of Mr. Gwinnell, who is a teacher of chemistry in the school. Promotion of science is the chief aim of the organization and their discussions cover the branches of science which are connected with physics and chemistry, and in this way the club is not organ- ized as a rival to the other science club which devotes itself entirely to bio- logical science. Officers who were chosen by a popular vote of the club members are: Charles Smith, president; David Donaldson, vice-president; and Eugene Freeman, secretary-treasurer. Various activities with which the members have been entertained took place at their regular meetings. Experiments halving to do with physical or chemical science were made by members as demonstrations to the rest of the club. Several interesting talks were given by their adviser, Mr. Gwin- nell- Practical Uses and basic principles of the photoelectric cell were ex- plained by a professor from the University of Detroit in a lecture which he gave before the club. As an outside trip, the club went to the Cranbrook observatory in its pur- suit of further knowledge in the field of astronomy. Motion pictures also helped to illustrate modern scientific knowledge as used in the commercial world. Boys interested in science as a hobby did quite a little work in carrying out the purpose of the club in the promotion of science and in making the organization a success, and as a whole, the members of the club believe that their knowledge has been increased to a great extent and that their spirit of fellowship in the field of science has given them something of still greater value. • i 1 i i i i ne c 5 SERVICE ENGRAVING COMPANY f i and its affiliated organizations m CJ)etroit 0 1 is staffed and equipped io assist 1 ! i in the preparation and production of ffjearhoohcs designed 1 to accent originality, imagination and expert handling, more than is customary m i cJludent (dJiihhcalions i 1 i !
