COPYRIGHT Ann Muriei Vicary Margaret Bowyer 1936 PIONEER DEDICATION DEDICATION For eleven years Veva Wood has labored to instil in the minds of young girls the need for comfort and beauty in their homes, their dress and their daily lives. She has aided them in solving problems that confront every home maker, problems that are of vital importance in maintaining the balance and happiness of life within the home. With her help girls are able to practice the fundamentals of home making in all its phases, and they leave her department knowing how to go about managing homes of their own when the time comes for them to do so. It is in recognition of long service that the 1936 Pioneer is dedicated to her. with the hope that it will mean to her what public applause means for showier achievements. FOREWORD During the depression the voice of The Pioneer re- mained mute, hut now that affairs arc approaching their normal swing, once more we become vocal and greet our readers as in days of vore. The 1936 Pioneer is again sponsored by the Class of 1936, who have contributed not only money toward its pub- lication. but., enthusiasm. sympathy and assistance in every possible way. The depression taught us how to obtain a greater degree of interest from our student group, that is, by having the seniors sponsor the book and defray a part of its expense. We are grateful to all those who have helped us with The Pioneer, among them being individual seniors, the office practice class, printer, engraver, photographer and binder. We can only function with the aid of many people, and certainly cooperation this year has been of the finest type. As the book comes into your hands after our months of labor, we send it with many good wishes, and the hope that it will prove, in after years, a valuable souvenir of your school life during the year 1936.

In the morning members of the homeroom disappeared from view, and the general opinion is that they enjoyed a good sleep. Early in the afternoon they met at school and drove to Detroit where they enjoyed a theater party at the Fox, after which they had dinner at a Giinese tea garden nearby, returning home early. Miss Pollakowski and Mr. Martin, sponsors of the homeroom, were guests of the class, and declared that they were in favor of skip days of this sort.

With 125 students enrolled, it was neces- sary to divide the class in three homerooms, with Miss Bunge, Miss Reid, and Miss Wolkins, supervisors. There were three debating teams in this class. A Hallowe’en play was given in assembly by the homeroom, Margaret Calder playing a part. The main event of the year was the Fresh- man Dance which netted $28 Of this class Francis Laird. Margaret Calder, and Betty Joe Alderdyce were class rep- resentatives. Because the sophomore class was large, also, there were three homerooms again. Miss Mainline, Miss Mitchell, and Mr. Gwinnell, supervisors. The main event of the year was the Sophomore Dance given with the assistance of the 11 B homeroom. A net profit of $18 was put into a collective treasury. In the junior year, with Miss Knight and Miss Polla- kowski as supervisors, the group gave the Thanksgiving assembly program, at the close of which Don Moore read President Roosevelt's Thanksgiving Proclamation. The Junior-Senior banquet was held at Christ Church. The senior year has been uneventful. A Christmas matinee dance netted $4.73 from the selling of ginger ale, no charge being made for the dance. Green and white were chosen as the class colors. Annual skip day was January 8 in the form of a theatre and dinner pa tyCharles John- son was elected to the National Honor Society, and Clemens Glotzhober received the Salisbury cup for attendance, and also ws elected to the National Honor Society. Dean W. W. hitehouse of Albion College was speaker at Commencement on January 23 in the school auditorium. Rev. Medley Stacey delivered the invocation. Principal Carl Hood gave a short talk, and Supt. Rav H. Adams gave out the diplomas 12 A CLASS OFFICERS Back: Donald Moore, Finn Olsen, Theodore Oelkers Front: Clemens Glotzhober, Betty Jo Alderdyce, Charles Johnson 1 12 11 EXECUTIVE BOARD Back: Donald Bryant, Don Currie, Jack Thompson, Roger Ridley, George Elding Front: Margaret Sandusky, Phyllis McGeachy, Jo Fryer. Ann Vicary 1 2B HOMEROOM Acting as advisers for the senior homeroom, which held its meetings in the auditorium, were Miss Doolittle and Mr. Challis. Candidates for class officers were selected by a nominating committee and those elected were: Jack Thomp- son, president; Jo Fryer, vice-president; Phyllis McGcachy, secretary; Ann Vicary, treasurer. Each of the officers is a member of the National Honor Society. Jack Thompson was sophomore class president, Jo Fryer has been class secretary every year except this, Phyllis McGeachy has held class offices and was editor of the Observer the first semester, and Ann Vicary was freshman class president. Roger Ridley, Don Currie, Don Bryant, George Elding, and Margaret Sandusky comprised the class executive committee, and most of the preliminary plans for activities were formed by them. Edward Kellachow was the senior representative on the all-school assembly committee. Numerous activities were entered into by the 12 A class. “Death Takes A Holiday”, in which Roger Ridley and Ann Vicary held the leads, was the senior play. A mid-winter dance, a magician show, a marionette show, and the “Pinch Penny Prom” were the year’s major events. Plans for Friday matinee dances and for the annual Senior Prom were discussed. Tickets for the all-school play were sold by members of the class and the Pioneer was partly financed with money from the senior treasury. Exactly 100 students made up the group. There were 52 girls and 48 boys. Activities of the year were expected to make the treas- | urv’s total about $300.00. The class began its year with a balance of $31.81 from 1935. Money raised by the “Pinch Penny Prom” amounted to $96.14. the largest amount any one activity netted the seniors, although everything under- taken was a financial, as well as a social success. -PIONEER 11 A HOMEROOM Lntler the able sponsorship of Miss Hicks and Mr. Maurice Rider, the 11 A homeroom enjoyed a semester of social and financial success. At the election of officers, T)ouglas Wright was chosen president, Lois Champney, vice-president, Agnes Gilchrist, secretary and Marie Cable treasurer. Myrtle Hehvig and David Donaldson filled the respective offices of assembly and program chairman. Social activities of the class began with a party held in the cafeteria for the purpose of better acquainting the , members. The 11 A’s also arranged the Junior-Senior banquet, of which David Donaldson had charge. Work on the J-Hop, which soon followed the banquet, was heartily joined in by both junior homerooms and a generous portion of the profit went to the Janu ary class of 1937. Following a brief period of inactivity, arrangements for what was probably the most successful undertaking of the year were begun. Gert Mauerhoff assumed the respon- sibility for the immense task of organizing the Amateur Show. The reception accorded this program exceeded all expecta- tions and swelled the class treasury considerably. Plans to hold a similar entertainment in the fall are being formulated. In addition, a trip to Bob-Lo with transportation expenses paid is a feature the homeroom will execute in the near future. Among those who displayed outstanding ability in some activity is Bernard Carroll who distinguished himself by winning the Washington Oratorial Cup permanently for D. H. S. Myrtle Helwig showed vocal aptitude by capturing the feminine lead in the operetta “An Old Spanish Custom”. David Donaldson, who captains this year's cross-country squad, created favorable comment with his scientific work. Gert Mauerhoff was chosen concertmaster of the school orchestra, while Myrtle Meng received recognition for her artistic achievements. 11 A CLASS OFFICERS Back: Marie Cable, David Donaldson, Myrtle Helwig Front: Lois Champney, Douglas Wright, Agnes Gilchrist 11 15 CLASS OFFICERS Back: Donald Bird, Hedley Stacey Front: Barbara Rennick. Muriel Spittle, Janet Bird 11 B HOMEROOM The 11 B group was undivided, and was sponsored by Miss Mainline and Mr. McCallister. Hedley Stacey was elected president, with Donald Bird, vice-president: Muriel Spittle, secretary: and Janet Bird, treasurer. Edith Evans acted as program chairman and John Steward was a member of the assembly committee. Barbara Rcnnick was chosen to be a representative to the Girls’ Ath- letic Association. The J-Hop, held January 25. was a big success, with Russ Armstrong’s Columbians furnishing the music. The decorations were of red, silver, and black: with programs passed out by Barbara Schneider and a grand march as feature during the evening. Although the money made at the event was divided with the 11A homeroom, the 11 B’s had a profit of $13. Guests were Mayor and Mrs. J. L. Carey, Mr. and Mrs. O. I.. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Adams, Mr. and Mrs. O. C Hood, and Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Schneider. Janet Bird. Edith Evans, and John Steward had the honor of being on the varsity debate team, with John and Edith representing the school in the roundtable discussions held in the Twin Valley League. Wilson McEvoy was elected captain of the 1935-36 foot- ball team. George Aldrich will be the captain of the 1936-37 basketball team. He was also voted to the second team of the all-star Twin Valley basketball team. Both George and Wilson were members of the 11 B homeroom. After the J-Hop, members made plans for the Junior- Senior banquet, an annual affair, to be held in May or June. In March, Mr. McCallister left school and the group had to have a new- sponsor to assist Miss Mainline for the rest of the year. PIONEER 1 OA HOMEROOM With the entire 55 members of the 10A in one home- room, the group lias ben endeavoring to make the most it can for the lack of enthusiasm displayed by class mem- bers. The homeroom, being a mid-semester class, has been unfortunate in not being able to be in on class dances given at the school. Several parties were planned, but only one became a reality. Class officers were elected last semester, but Donald Boor, who was elected class president, dropped back a half grade and George Osterstock was chosen in his place. Other officers of the homeroom were vice-president, Margareta Jansson. secretary, George Haiti, and treasurer, Robert Barr. There were several programs given during the semester with Ann Miller as program chairman. The homeroom, being a mid-semester, did not get in on the annual sophomore dance but will join in on the J-Hop next semester. The 10A interclass basketball team was well up in the race for the interclass championship and developed several players of repute. Several members of the class were quite prominent in sports, as George Haiti played basketball on the high school team and both George Main and George Osterstock were regulars on the Varsity baseball, which is quite unusual for boys in their sophomore year. Robert Barr is a’so quite adept in track. Not having taken pa-t in many school events this semester, members are looking forward to having a much better time next year. 10 A CLASS OFFICERS Back: Robert Barr, George Haiti Front: Margaret Jansson, Donald Boor, Ann Miller 10 B C LASS OFFICERS Back: Harmon Hitt, Howard Porter, Robert Copp, Rob Ricbardson.

This year’s sophomore class has been active in providing itself with amusement. Sophomores have had about five dances on Friday nights, lasting from eight to ten. Parties have been quite popular with the 10 B homerooms. Hallow- e’en was the occasion for one of the first parties. At Christ- mas, the sophomores entertained the faculty at a Christmas party. St. Valentine’s day was also celebrated by a party. Parties having been such a success, the homerooms are planning a picnic at Walled Lake in June. The 10 B class has an outstanding scholarship record. Though Patricia MacFarland is the only one with an “A” average, there is a high percentage of “B” averages with several on the verge of an “A’' average. Gladys Abbott, Gloria Roberts, and Marion Law brought further credit to their homerooms in assisting in the presen- tation of ‘‘Huckleberry Finn”. PIONEER FRESHMAN HOMEROOM This year’s freshman class was divided into four groups. The advisers for the 9B homeroom were Miss Wilson. Mr. A. W. Rider, and Miss Reynolds.

This year, since the class has been enlarged to fifty members, the boys had two teachers. Mr. Vanek still teaches the machine shop practice. Mr. Menge taught the studies, printing, math, English, and social science, and Mr. Van Valkenburg took his place the latter part of the year. Two new studies were added to the list, drafting and photography, the latter under the sponsorship of Mr. Gwinnell. This class created quite a large interest in the vocational room. Twelve boys at one time were allowed to take the course for a period of five weeks. The boys made dark rooms .n their own homes, and also ma !e print boxes a d tock. developed, and printed pictures at home Kenneth Adams took an unusually fine picture of the shaper, one of the machines, and developed and printed it. It was printed in “The Observer”. Among the trips taken, which are a part of the boys’ education, were those to the Ford factory, G aham Pa ge Motor. Parke Davis Company, and The Echo Plating Works. The class newspaper. “Vocational News” was edited by Wilford DuChene. Robert Wagle assisted him. and the chief printer was William Beddoes. SPORTS ------------------------P I 0 N E E R--------------------- BASKETBALL Finishing fourth in the Twin Valley Basketball League, the Dearborn High School Varsity closed a fairly successful season after winning four and losing six of ten hard fought games. Led by Captain John Cord tier and Co-Captain Rimer Ellstrom, was only eligible for half the season, the Pioneers won four games by good teamwork and lost four Of the four non-league games Dearborn won two and lost two. Losing a game to Birmingham, 13-14. and losing a game to their city rivals Fordson High, a class A school. 10-16, the Pioneers picked up and beat Lincoln Park, 19-15, and East Detroit, a good team in the Detroit League, 12-11. Qualifying for the Regionals at Fordson by beating Ecorse, 19-15, Dearborn just missed getting a trophy by dropping a hard fought battle to Birmingham, 25-26. The P . nee s met St. Theresa, a powerful team from Detroit, in the Regionals and lost. 14-18. The team from Detroit wen ' n to win the Class B championship of Michigan. The reserves with fellows of only one year’s and less expedience held their own very well against all opponents b winning eight rames and losing six. Coach McIntyre expects that an where from two to four of the reserves will be capable T holding down jobs on the varsity squad next season. The members of this year’s Varsity Squad were Captain Cordner, Co-Captain Ellstrom. George Aldrich. Arthur Higgs, Wi so ' McEvoy. Henry McLean, Donald Boor, Kenneth Twork. Louis Ketchum, Edward Kellachow. Charles Helm- rich. and Donald Dapprich. BASKETBALL Back: Bill Schmaltz. Ralph Frost, Gerald Marks, Donald Dapprich Middle: Clemens Ziegler. Donald Allen.

The team won two games, tied one, and lost five. The first game of the season was played against Flat Rock, with Flat Rock winning by a score of 6-0, but due to the fact that Flat Rock has been the champion of its league for the past few years, and that it made its only touchdown by virtue of an intercepted forward pass, the Dearborn rooters did not take this defeat seriously. However, it seemed to discourage the players, and they lost three consecutive games to Ypsilanti, River Rouge, and Plymouth respectively. At this point the team began to hit its stride and tied Wayne, and beat Lincoln Park and Flint. The game with Flint was especially impressive in that Flint is regarded as being a strong team. Dearborn won, 33-7. Seven players were accorded special honors. Ben Rosalik was chosen as tackle on the all-league first team; John Cordner at end, and Wilson McEvoy at tackle were chosen on the second team, and Elton Kelley, George Aldrich, Henry McLean, and Rex Frye received honorable mention at fullback, halfback, quarterback, and center respectively. Varsity letters were awarded to the following: Wilson McEvoy, captain, Ben Rosalik, Robert Blanchard, John Cordner, Rex Frye. Weston Spencer, Charles Flake, Harvey Gould. Henry McLean, George Aldrich, Edward Kellachow, Donald Boor, Elton Kelley, and Charles Helmrich. The captain of next year’s team will be chosen by Coach McIntyre before each game. GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION While girls’ athletic instructor last spring, Miss Knight organized the Girls’ Athletic Association, and the work has been carried on by Mrs. Delcie Holt, the present gym teacher. At the time of organization officers were elected whose duties would begin the following semester. The club is open to all girls. The only requirement for active membership is participation in some sport offered by the G. A. A. Under the new point system points earned for taking part in sports may be carried over from year to year making it possible to earn some award each year and a “D” before graduation. Among the awards offered are class numerals, letters, gold pins, and each semester the Dorothy Smith Memorial Cup to the most outstanding girl in sports. Officers chosen in the spring were Catherine Davis, president; Jeanne Howard, vice-president and recorder of points: Ann Muriel Vivarv, secretary and tennis manager: Josephine Fryer, treasurer and volleyball manager. A rep- resentative from each grade was chosen to meet with the officers and form a board. Members of the board and their duties as managers of various sports are: Jean Davis, golf; Leona Hansen, baseball: Gladys Abbott, hockey: Mary Lois Johnson, Barbara Rennick, basketball: Avanelle Pio, swimming; Ruth Davis, badminton: Margaret Calder, track. Basketball and volleyball are the sports offered by the G. A. A. for interclass competition so far. At this writing, baseball, tennis, track and archery have been planned as spring sports.

Mr. Wetzel Harold Evans, Roy Liddell, Paul Fox CROSS-COUNTRY TEAM Cross-country, as a sport, is gaining in popularity in this region, and, consequently, competition is becoming much keener. A team of today must be much stronger than a team of four years ago. That is, to win the meets it must be stronger. Records show that the Dearborn team this year was a better group of runners. Beginning the season by defeating Ypsilanti and Wayne in a triangular meet gave the Dearborn harriers a good start. A week later River Rouge was outrun on its home course. At Ypsilanti, Dearborn and Ypsi tied for first place in a triangular meet in which Wayne came out at the wrong end of the score. With Evans and Hughey taking first and second respectively. Dearborn won the League meet, defeating five teams, and the Regional meet, out- running six. In the State meet Xiles vanquished a Dear- born team for the second year in succession. Cross-country was introduced into Dearborn High School ten years ago. In that time Dearborn has won the League Championship three times and taken second once. The teams representing the school have won three Regional Championships, tied for first once, and taken second place three times. In the State meets Dearborn has, indeed, an enviable record, winning the State Championship four times and taking a second place twice. There have been four League meets, seven Rebional meets, and nine State meets. Orson Hughes, captain, Harold Evans, Roy Liddel. David Donaldson, Richard Moore, Paul Fox, Clemens Glotz- hober, Roger Ridley, and Robert White received varsity letters this year, while reserve letters were awarded to Robert Cahow and Ralph Blackwell. PIONEER BASEBALL Nearly 60 boys came out for baseball this year, which is a great many more than usual, but the squad is steadily being cut so that when the playing season arrives it will total about 25. They will play a total of 16 games this year and due to the shortened school term from three to five each weeks. Of the sixteen games eight will be with Class B schools and eight with Class A. This is the first year that all the Twin Valley schools are represented by a baseball team, which means that it is the first year for a Twin Valley Championship. The schedule was as follows: Melvindale. April 9; Ypsilanti. April 17; River Rouge. April 20. There were three games all in one week. Royal Oak. May 1; Ypsilanti. May 5; Ferndale, May 8. Again there were three games in a week. River Rouge. May 12; Plymouth. May 15; Wayne. May 16; Lincoln Park. May 18; Royal Oak. May 19. There were five games in this week. Wayne, May 26; Lincoln Park, May 29; Ferndale, May 30. There were three games in four days. The schedule shows that the games are bunched into groups, meaning that the team will have to work hard with eight home games, and eight games away, and not much rest.

S3111A113 V PIONEER BAND Although a large percentage of the hand was in- experienced. members have covered a great deal of terri- tory in learning fundamentals, technical studies, intonation, and rhythm work. The woodwinds and brasses from the band have been playing with the orchestra at special rehearsals and at the Christmas Concert. The first annual band concert was given March 20, and at that time two cellos and three string basses helped to make it a symphonic concert band. The program consisted of “Salutation”, March by Seitz; “Bohemian Girl”, an Opera Selection by Balfe, in which there were three well known selections, I Dreamt I Dwelt in Marble Halls”, “Then You’ll Remember Me”, and “The Heart Bowed Down”; “Visions”, a horn trio by Hayes, in which the horns participating were Donald Bryant, first horn. George Ludvik, second horn, and George Fiske. third horn; “Weber Suite”, the parts of which were. “March of the Peasants”, and “Huntsmen’s Chorus”, from the Opera “Der Frei- schutz” and the theme from the “Invitation to the Dance”; “Our Director , March by Bigelow, “Melody Parade”, by DeLamater; “Saskatchewan”, Overture by Holmes; “Gaiety Polka”, a Cornet Solo by Hartley, in which Kelvin Bailey was the soloist; “Wedgewood Blue”, Intermezzo by Ketel- bey; “Merry Widow”, Selection from the operetta by Lehar (the selections played were “Vilia”, “Maxims”, the “Merry Widow Waltz”, “I Love You So”, and the March “Women”) ; “Cabins”, an American Rhapsody by Gillette; and “Military Escort”, March by Fillmore.

Rider, and the greater part of the first semester was consumed in adopting the new methods and making various changes. A successful Christmas Concert was presented with the chorus, followed by a party for all the participants. The next semester included two big features. First of these was the accompaniment of the chorus for the first big production attempted by the music department, an operetta “The Old Spanish Cusaom”. The second hig event was the final public appearance of the orchestra in the First Annual Music Review, in which the orchestra was featured for the major portion of the program. The orchestra had a choice library this year. It also played at various school and community functions. A string quartette was formed from the organization. It was composed of Gert Mauerhoff. first violin, Margaret Bowyer. second violin, Clifford Wilkie, viola, and Donald Marshall, ’cello. It played at such places as the Junior- Senior banquet and the Honor Assembly. The orchestra had three of its members placed in the Southeastern Michigan Band and Orchestra Association. Margaret Bowyer in the violin section. Gert Mauerhoff in the viola, and Donald Marshall in the ’cello. CHORUS PIONEER From the beginning of the school year the chorus started out with much enthusiasm and active spirit, the enrollment numbering approximately 60 the first semester and 100 the second. Practically all members were new and without experience. At Christmas this newly trained chorus sang an entire program A Capella, which is considered an accomplishment for new high school students. It met with much approval both on the part of students and adults, proof of which was the overcrowded auditorium and the dead silence which was prevalent during the rendition of the numbers. This was the first of what is to be an annual event. Included were Christmas carols of various origin, such as Russian, Bohemian, Czechoslovakian. English, and American. Another annual event which also was presented for the first time this year was The Crucifixion, a Sacred Cantata by Stainer, with high school students doing all the solos.

Fordson and Dearborn High had each won the cup twice and Bernard’s oration entitled “America’s Guarantee” assured Dearborn of permanent possession of the trophy. The debate team, vastly handicapped by the illness of its coach Miss Olympia LaMarea, engaged in a series of ten debates, two each with River Rouge, Lincoln Park, Ecorse, Ypsilanti and Plymouth. The affirmative, composed of Robrt Copp, Joseph Laird, and Bernard Carroll, and the negative made up of Edith Evans, Douglas Wright and John Stewart, debated the question, “Resolved: That the several nations should make a government monopoly of the manu- facture and sale of all combat instruments of war.” Al- though it was not until the season had begun that the squad received actual coaching from Mr. Willis of Wayne Uni- versity and Mrs. Keyes, the team did well enough to win five of their ten debates. Janet Bird did excellent work as a substitute, as did Virginia Laird, while Helen Baden and Lillian Landsberg efficiently managed the group. Through the efforts of Mr. Hood and Miss LaMarca, a new speech program called the Symposium Round Table was introduced into the Twin Valley League. Edith Evans and John Steward were the regular speakers, and Lillian Landsberg ably substituted. In the spring tryouts for the sub-district contest at Ypsilanti, Bernard Carroll was chosen orator, Donald Currie as extempore speaker and Robert Copp as tenth grade declaimed Jane Wooton. declaimer. was chosen from the ninth grade to represent Dearborn in the city contest. PIONEER LIBRARY STAFF Miss Jane Hicks has been librarian at tlie school for two years, and Miss Ei.een W ood assisted her this year. The l.bra-y staff consisted of twenty girls the first semester, the number dropping to nineteen this term. W’ork in the library is div.ded into work in the library room and in the work room, and desk work. The work in the work room consists of mend ng bock . preparing new books for the shelves, and filing clippings. Students have regular assignments which are due weekly. 1 hey are given one hour a week during class time to work on their assignments. The beginners’ class meets on Thursday, and the advanced group on Wednesday. All duties in the library have been divided so that each girl has an opportunity to perform each duty. Many attractive displays were arranged on the display table this year, including Valentine. Scotch. Mexican. Hal- lowe’en and St. Patrick exhibits. Among the new magazines now found in the library are W’orld Youth. Popular Aviation, Building America. Harper’s, and the Herald from Greenfield Village. The most popular magazine among the boys is the American Boy magazine, and Popular Aviation magazine rates second. The Dearborn Press is sent weekly free of charge. The January, graduating class presented the library with Cruden’s Complete Concordance to the Bible, Columbia Encyclopedia in one volume, and Hat. Drink and Be Wary. Superintendent R. H. Adams has been very kind in con- tributing books on education. LIBRARY STAFF Back: Muriel Law. Virginia Wilkie, Adele Snell. Gail Reese Middle: Betty Allmand. Dorothy McPherson.

Jim Wilford became his understudy, and‘spent practically all of his time learning his part and rehearsing so that he would be ready in an emergency. Bill, however, took the part, and made a success of it. Other members of the cast were Donald Marshall; who was Tom Sawyer; Shirley Bredlow. Aunt Polly; Betty Hummel. Ruth Watson, her sister; Gert Mauerhoff. John Finn; Betty Jean Stewart, Melba White, the colored maid; Gladys Ab- bott, Mary Jane, niece of Polly and Ruth Watson; Charles Johnson, Fred Raymond, the great lover; Marion Law, Clara Woppinger, the town gossip: and Gloria Roberts, Amy Woppinger, her sister. Patricia Graham was stage manager; Bruce Anderson, the stage electrician; and Margaret Bowver and Constance Xeedham were prompters. Ruth Davis, VaLaura Ernest, Lillian Landsberg, Muriel Law, Trula Sideras, and MUriel Spittle were on the properties committee. Miss Amy Betts applied make-up, Mr. M. L. Rider directed, and Miss Wolkins, Miss Doolittle, and Miss Hicks aided in choosing the cast. The senior class sold tickets and made a clear profit of $42.20. with a like sum for the play fund and general fund. Members of the cast and supporting committee supplied the costumes so that there was hardly any expense. PIONEER QUILL AND SCROLL In the year 1929, Dearborn High S bool received its charter for a chapter of Quill and Scroll, an international honorary society for high school journalists. Mr. Martin became the adviser, and from time on under his sponsor- ship more than 65 hoys and girls have gained membership in the organization for their outstanding work on The Orange and Black and Observer staffs. Membership in the society, is achieved by filling the constitutional requirements of being a junior or senior and in the upper third of one’s class, and being recommended hv the adviser for superior work in some phase of jour- nalistic work. In Dearborn, aspirants to the society must submit to national authorities samples of their writing, such as a news story, feature story or editorial, which has been printed in the high school publication. In addition they must submit a project consisting of clippings and an ex- planatory essay dealing with some journalistic feature of interest found in ouc of the newspapers. Formal initiation of new members takes place at honor assembly at which time Mr. Hood presents gold pins and the girls receive corsages from The Observer staff. Mem- bership also entitles them to a year’s subscription of the Quill and Scroll magazine. In June 1935. Jane Creith, Jane Folger. Jane Schmidt, Margaret Sandusky, Phyllis McGeachv. Phyllis Barker, Harold Vartanian, Rylma Ford. Ottilie Renz, Helen Peter- sen and Kathleen McKee were initiated. Marjorie Haydon, Jeannette Sherwood, and Gwendolyn McKee were taken in at the semi-annual assembly in January. QUILL AND SCROLL Back: Phyllis GcGeachv.

PIONEER STAFF This year’s Pioneer has been dedicated to Mrs. Veva Wood of the home economics department. Mrs. Wood has been a member of the Dearborn High faculty for a period of 11 years. The present senior class contributed a sum of money as sponsors of The Pioneer, to aid in meeting the cost of the year book. The rest was furnished through the efforts of Margaret Bowyer. business manager, plus the returns which were received from actual Pioneer sales and photo- graphy. Ann Muriel Vicary. of the senior homeroom, was editor- in-chief of the Pioneer, with Beatrice Blasko, a junior, assisting her. Each year an outstanding member of the junior class is selected to act as assistant editor so that he may possibly succeed to the editor’s position when he becomes a senior. Other members of the Pioneer staff who contributed original articles for the book are Donald Bryant, George Ebling. Donald Marshall, Roger Ridley, Shirley Bredlow, Doris Burk, Josephine Fryer. Marjorie Haydon, Katherine Morse. Phyllis McGeachy. Margaret Sandusky, Jean Smart, Margaret Vertrees, and Jane Schmidt, representing the senior class; and Medley Stacey, Ellen Hynett, Barbara Rennick. Marcia Neisler, Janet Bird.

Martin, English teacher, was adviser of the annual. -----------------------------PI 0 N E E R---------------------------- SENIOR PLAY “Death Takes a Holiday,” by Alberta Casella was pres- ented for the senior play this year, and directed by Mr. Maurice Rider. The play required unusual scenic effect and a versatile cast. The cast included Rosalie Francis as Cora, the maid: James Laird, the butler, Fedele: Robert Currie as rich Duke Lambert; Josephine Fryer. Duchess Stephanie, the Duke's wife; Elaine Simmons, Alda, and Margaret Sandusky por- t-aying Rhoda Fenton, two girls easily fascinated; Shirley Bredlow as Princess of San Luca, an elderly lady; Jack Thompson, Baron Cesarea. a retired statesman of great age; James Wilford, Eric Fenton, Rhoda’s brother; Donald Currie, Corrado, son of Duke Lambert, enamored of Grazia; Ann Vicarv, who played the feminine lead of Grazia. the dreamy, ethereal girl, and Roger Ridley in a difficult dual role as Prince Sirki. of Vitalba Alexandri, and Death. Death, at the end of a mystifying day, appeared sud- denly at the castle of Duke Lambert, telling the duke he was taking a holiday of three days, and would visit the duke and his family, masquerading as Prince Sirki. as he had unfortunately prevented the prince from making his visit. He swore the duke secrecy, and three trying days followed with Alda, Rhoda, and Grazia all falling in love with the prince. Only Grazia stood the supreme test, being borne out by Death in his true garb, while the family and her lover begged her to stay. Patricia Graham acted as stage manager. Rodger Ketch- man. electrician, Ruth Abbott and Katharine Morse, promp- ters. Properties were taken care of by Ruth Wood and Virginia Howard. Phyllis McGeachv and Rosetta Long were in charge of stage effects. SENIOR PLAY Back: Margaret Sandusky. Elaine Simmons, Ruth Abbott.

Every year an impressive in tiation ceremony is held at the honor assemblies. At this time, four of those who are already members, dressed in caps and gowns and representing Character. Leadership, Scholarship, and Service, deliver poems appropriate to these filial ties. Following this the new members take the pledge, sign the roster and receive their pins. The roster now contains 89 names of students of the school who have proved themselves outstanding in the four qualities mentioned above. In June. 1935, Jane Schmidt, Margaret Sandusky. Ann Vicary. Josephine Fryer, Phyllis McGeachy. Finn Olson, Jack Thompson, and Donald Bryant, then llA’s. were awarded this honor. At the last election held in January, Ruth Abbot. Shirley Bredlow, Clemens Glotzhober, Charles Johnson, and Roger Ridley won the honor. To add one’s name to this scroll of honor students it s necessary to be in the upper third of the class in scholar- ship, and to rank in the other three qualities mentioned. Only members of the 11A and senior class are eligible. From the 11A five per cent may be elected, from the 12 B 10 per cent, and from the 12A 15 per cent. In order to choose members, both teachers and students vote by ballot on the candidates. This year 80 people attended a dinner of the National Honor Society given at Ten Eyck Inn. The occasion was an outstanding one, and a Board of Directors was chosen of one person from each year to carry on the idea. Those chosen were Edna Smith Cosbcy, Alberta Stutsman, Charles Palmer, Malcolm Frutchcy, Gretchen Wessinger. Jane Perry. Frank Aldrich, Kenneth Law. Ursula Mauerhoff, and Finn Olsen. ---------------------------PIONEER------------------------------- THE OBSERVER STAFF With an unusually small stall, the weekly publication of Dearborn High began the semester under a new name.

Law ROMAN BANQUET For the first time since the depression Latin students resumed the custom of an annual banquet in the Roman style, but this year’s was the most ambitious ever attempted. Members of the art and commercial departments collabo- rated in the preparations, the former with decorative panels apprcpriate to the period, the latter with souvenir programs in the form of ancient scrolls. The affair was held in the school cafeteria Friday evening. March 13, not far from the famous Ides of March, a-d was open only to members of the Latin groups, al- though others were invited for the speech that came later. Tables were arranged in the classic style, with guests re- clining, served by fellow students with food approximating Roman delicacies, even to mixed wine, grape juice sub- stituting for the more powerful vintage of the ancients. The color scheme of the setting was in red, black and yellow. The speaker was Prof. Bruno Meinecke of the Uni- versity of Michigan, whose discourse, concerning music among the Greeks and Romans, was illustrated with slides and violin selections. Assisting Miss Wilson. Latin teacher, who directed the affair, were Miss Hicks, librarian, and Mrs. Holt, physical education teacher. Their combined efforts, with those of Latin students, made the affair one long to be remembered. Mr. Challis took photographs of the event, one of which is here reproduced through the efforts of The Pioneer staff, wh’ch. although the book was already planned, so re-ar- ranged the layout as to include this account. ORGANIZATIONS SENIOR COMMERCIAL CLUB For the purpose of bringing commercial students into direct contact with business men and various business in- stitutions. the Senior Commercial Club was reorganized early in the fall and open to eleventh and twelfth grade pupils who at some time were in commercial classes. In the second semester of 1935 the Commercial Club was due to a growing membership, divided into two groups, junior and senior. Previous to this time the club was in one section. Advisers for the senior section were Miss Mitchell and Miss Pollakowski. Approximately 26 girls have joined the club this year, and officers were elected at the first business meeting. Ruth Davis was chosen president; Patricia Mara, vice-president: and Virginia Rhodes, secretary- treasurer. Katherine Morse was appointed program chair- man. These officers served all year. At an early meeting the club's constitution, prepared by Miss Pollakowski. Margaret Meakin. Gertrude Bowler, and Jean Smart, was read Included in it were the club’s name, a ms, membership requirements, officers, announcement of dues, uniform dates of future meetings, duties of officers, and a statement making the constitution subject to re- vision when the girls should see fit. Two meetings a month were held, one as a social gathering and the other for business purposes. Dues of 50 cents a semester were charged. Among the year’s events were a theater party, a dancing party, a spelling bee. and a pot luck dinner. The spelling bee which was held at the home of Bettv Jo Aderdyce.l was won by Betty Forbes who was presented with a bottle of bath salts. SENIOR COMMERCIAL CLUB Back: Virginia Howard.

The junior group is under the leadership of Miss Dietrich and Miss Reynolds. The Junior Commercial Club is open to all ninth and tenth grade com- mercial students. Officers for the first semester of this year were Mar- gareta Jansson. president; Donald Hunt, vice-president; and Adele Giamartin, secretary-treasurer. This semester Donald Hunt was elected president; Adele Giamartin. vice- president; and Betty Jane Hummel, secretary-treasurer. Thirty-five people have membership in the club, twenty-five girls and ten boys. At the end of last semester a party was given which consisted of a visit to the WJR radio station in the Fisher Building in Detroit, luncheon, and a movie, “Mutiny on the Bounty”. One activity of the club is the selling of candy at basketball and football games. The dues of five cents a meeting, plus the money made by selling candy, nets enough money to pay the costs of all trips and parties. Some of the places of interest which the club has visited are the telephone exchange. Western Union in Detroit, business offices, and the Dearborn Press Office. Reports of the trips are sometimes presented in the commercial classes. ----------------------------P IONE ER------------------------------ LATIN CLUB Bearing the name Semper Fidelis, the Latin Club has been an active group in the high school for several years. At the first business meeting fifty-two members signed the scroll. Meetings are held every third Wednesday of the school month, generally in the auditorium of the school. Programs have been varied in character. Last September a get-together was held at Ford Field in the form of a pot luck supper. This was followed by games and dancing in the school auditorium. At the first regular meeting the Orac’e of Delphi was modernized by the members. Anyone was permitted to ask questions of the Oracle. A Roman banquet which was held :n March was unique. It was held in the high school cafeteria in true Roman style with the advanced Latin students reclining w’hile eating. The decorations consisted of copies of colored plates of Pompeian wall paintings, the colors used being black, red. green, and yellow. The speaker for the evening was Prof. Bruno Meinecke of Ann A-bor. whose subject was “Ancient Music Among the Greeks and Romans.” He illustrated his speech by slides and viol'n music. Officers who were elected at the first 1 m sine is • meeting are: James Laird and Flaine Dick, consuls. Jo eph Laird, praetor, Beatrice Blasko, aedile, and Mary Lois Johnson, quaestor.

Vir- ginia Howard, social functions, Beatrice Blasko. devotionals, Ruth Davis, ring committee, and Margaret Sandusky, pub- lic tv. Jeanne Howard and Ruth Davis attended the ring ceremonial at the Central Y. W. C. A. They learned what a Girl Reserve must do to earn an official ring, and re- ported to their home organization. Official Girl Reserve colors are blue and white. There is also a regulation uniform, but none of the Dearborn girls wear it. Most of the members, however, ordered club pins at the beginning of the year. The big event of the season was the Girl Reserves dance, given May 16. It was rather novel in that any girl com’ng to the affair acted as escort for the evening, inviting her own partner. ------------PIONEER----- HI-Y ith Mr. Harold Koch as sponsor. Hi-Y boys carried on their activities tor the year. Mr.Koch has been sponsor of the c!ub for six years, although for the last three he has not been a teacher in Dearborn High School. Members of the club who were e ectcd iTic••■•s !i;t June and who carried out their duties this year were a k Thompson, president: Ted Oelkcrs, vice-president; John Hebestreit. secretary; Donald Bryant, treasurer: and Ed- ward Luce, sergeant-at-arms. Roger Ridley and Lee Smith ended the year in the offices of secretary and vice-president respectively, due to the graduation of Ted Oelkers and John Hebestreit. Eight new members were admitted in January: Donald Bird. Elwin Smith. Edward Kcllachow. Robert B anchard. Robert and Donald Currie. John Coffman and George Aid- rich. The Hi-Y Open Pa-ty, first activtitv of the years, was a success both socially and financially. With Bernard Stead- miller supplying the music, about 75 couples, including many alumni, attended. In celebration of the fifth year of organization the club gave a dinner for alumni at the Farm Cupboard. Plymouth. December 27. Novel ideas were car- ried out in the'setting of the annual dinner dance at Charles McKenny Hall. Ypsilanti, February 22. Tables for four were placed arc und the dance floor giving the effect of a cabaret. A vase at each table contained two roses which were sup- plied for each couple. Moe and Carter furnished the muse, and time was allowed between courses for dancing. Meetings are he’d on the first and third Wednesday of the nv'iith. The club is discussing the admission of new members n June. HI-Y CLUB Back : Den s Hglestone. Lee Smith. Finn Olsen. Roger Ridley Front: Edward Luce. Don Bryant.

John Cordner was elected president; Rex Frye, vice- president : and Don Boor, secretary-treasurer. A group of 12 boys was admitted to the club soon after school began to rep'ace those who graduated the preceding June. Those admitted were George Aldrich. Donald Boor. Donald Dapp- rich. Harold Evans, Charles Flake. Rex Frye. Edward Kella- cliow. Henry McLean. George Osterstock. Bernard Rosalik. Hedley Stacey and Jack Thompson. A.party was given after the in Cation. In January five more boys were accepted to become members in place of the January graduates. They were George Main, Charles Helmrich. Milton Jones. Elton Kelley and Bob White. A donkey basketball game proved to be a successful venture. The Varsity boys made a clear profit of $39 on the well-attended game. Another activity was a party given February 7 for both old and new members. Exactly 100 pins made of wood in the shape of a dog were sold for 10 cents each by the members. A profit of $3 was realized. At this writing, they plan to order 200 more pins. Of these 100 will he similar to those sold before, and the other 100 will represent the log cabin symbolic of the school. As a service to the school, the Varsity Club wishes to raise enough money to pay half of the cost of an electric scoreboard to be used in the gym. Meetings have been held regularly throughout the year on the first and third Mondays of each month. ----------------------------------P I 0 N E E R--------------------- GIRL SCOUTS, TROOP II The Girl Scouts Troop II was organized under the leadership of Mrs. A. V. Verville in 1929. This year Miss Gatchell. captain, and Miss Porter, lieutenant, took over the direction of the troop when Mrs. Verville. after six years of faithful work, moved to Washington, D. C. With an enrollment of only 13 girls, the troop was divided into two patrols this year with Josephine Fryer and Ann Vicary as patrol leaders. Phyllis McGeachy was troop scribe. Ann Vicary and Phyllis McGeachy are the only ones now in the troop who have passed the First Class Badge and all the others who have been in more than a year are Second Class Scouts. In June last year. Jane Folger, who is now attending college, received the Golden Eaglet Pin. Josephine Fryer and Phyllis McGeachy have had perfect attendance records and the average attendance of the other records and the average attendance of the other first mem- first members is 90 per cent. In the early part of the year many enjoyable meetings and overnight parties were held in the “Little Scout House” at Ford Field, but this pride and joy of the Scouts was destroyed by fire in the winter, so all are looking forward to the building of a new structure in the future. Other activities indulged in during the year were the cookie sale, making children’s dresses for relief work, theater part es, wiener roasts, handicraft work, and athletic nights in the gvmnasium.

At the first business meeting of the year, the group decided to limit the membership to fifteen with the dues twenty-five cents a month, and to hold two meetings monthly, one business and the other social, at the homes of the members. The club received its constitution, by-laws, and re- gistration material from Miss Elizabeth Woodward, editor of the sub-deb page of the Ladies Home Journal. Its aim is purely social, and the girls have tried to plan instructive as well as entertaining meetings. The following officers were elected: Ruth Wood, presi- dent, Rosetta Sowle, vice-president, Virginia Howard, cor- responding secretary, Virginia Laird, recording secretary, and Jeanne Howard, treasurer. Miss Eileen Wood is the sponsor of this group. Since Sub-Deb is primarily a social club, its program of activities has been rather full. The group opened the year with a theater party. The picture selected was Hands Across the Table”, a romantic comedy featuring Carole Lombard and Fred Mac Murray, at the Michigan Theater, The social meeting in December was an old-fashioned hay ride. The girls returned to Patricia Mara's house where they played games and had refreshments. A roller-skating party was held at the popular rink in East Dearborn. The group is looking forward to a week-end party at a summer cottage when the weather is suitable. A party for the Sub-Debs who will graduate in June is being planned. SCIENCE PIONEER----------------------------------- CLUB 'I lie Science Club started the activities of the year by electing a committee for the purpose of drafting a con- stitution. As the club was already a year old. and this had not been attended to, it was thought necessary. The com- mittee met with the sponsor, Mr. Gwinnetl. and drew up a satisfactory constitution which was unanimously accepted by the club. Fleet ons were held, and the following officers were elected: James Laird, president. David Donaldson, vice- president, Charles Johnson, secretary-treasurer. Meetings were held every other week, and dues of five cents a meeting were charged. An initiation was held and five new members were accepted by the club. The initiation provided a very il.orough test of the chemical knowledge possessed by the candidates. A formal ceremony was followed by a fire-side party. The main features of the program for the year were the trips. The club again visited the Ford Factory and saw niarv part that had not been visited the year before. Several members vis ted the new building of the WJR broadcasting station. The Gas Plant and the Clinton Woolen Mill we e also visited. Members had the good fortune to have the mysteries of a Tessla Coil explained to them. Kveryone in the club s fully satisfied with what the group has done, livery member was willing to cooperate, and many more places of interest would have been visited if there had been adequate transportation.
