TIME OUT FOR LUNCH PIONEER Hurrying feet hasten down the curved walk leading away from school when the lunch hour arrives. The girls in the picture no doubt have something interesting to tell as they traverse the way beneath the shady trees that are the pride and ornament of the school. In a half hour they will he hasten- ing back by the same route. NINETEEN HUNDRED THIRTY-SEVEN S3Ai Axxaa DEDICATION FOR The 1937 Pioneer is dedicated to Mrs. Betty Ives, who has earned the distinction by faithful, constant service. Not only has she performed her duties in school health, but she has quietly and unostentatiously acted as contact officer, student and home adviser, and friend to innumerable members of the school body, teachers as well as students. In offering this deserved tribute. The Pioneer wishes Mrs. Ives many more years of the service she has so generously given. FOREWORD Climaxing another year of activity in the school, the 1937 Pioneer makes its bow to an increased student body, under the sponsorship of the senior class. Its progress has been materially advanced by the gift of $10« from the January seniors, the first of its kind in the school's publications history. Other aid has been generously given in the form of work and interest, always powerful stimuli in producing the book. Acknowledgment is made to all those who have contributed to its success. It is the hands of many unseen workers that have made 1 he Pioneer possible, especially at the price level set by the first issue fifteen years ago. Our chief aim has been to produce a book that would be a worthy remembrance of the year’s work and play. How well we have succeeded is left to the reader’s judgment, as, with salutation and farewell, we place the book in his hand.

Students came to school in the evening instead of in daytime, and for the pleasure of visitors classes of a half school day were operated so that parents and other interested people could see how the school functioned and how their children and friends were taught. Hundreds of visitors thronged the halls and classrooms, and teachers had to perform miracles of management to accommodate students and audiences in the same room. Late comers had to stand, but nobody seemed to mind that, and pleased comments and expressions showed that the first Open House Night in the school’s history was a success. A special issue of The Observer, lavishly illustrated with classroom scenes, also commemorated the Education Week program. Copies were mailed to those who visited school Open House night as a souvenir of the occasion, and to aid in informing the public as to what schools were doing in various fields.

When the group was first organized, Mr. Maurice Rider was its sponsor. In its graduation year. Miss Jane Hicks and Mr. Alton Reeves were the guiding spirits. There were about 50 members originally, with Charles Helmrich as president. Its chief activity then was assisting with the sophomore dance. The following year a one-act play, “The Romancers”, was produced, and Shirley Bredlow and Bernard Carroll were admitted to the National Forensic League. In its junior year Douglas Wright became president, and the class arranged the J-Hop, also an amateur show managed by Gert Mauerhoff. The Junior-Senior Banquet was another activity. Members were prominent in oratory, music, art, and athletics. A second amateur show in the senior year was less successful financially, but netted $45, compared to $75 made on the first venture. The class sponsored the Christmas matinee dance, held its skip day, and gave its class day exercises at the Junior-Senior Banquet. During its career, several members of the class were elected to the school’s three honor societies. Its performance was above the average of January classes in all fields. 12-B HOMEROOM Back: Steward, Guion Front: Howard, Stacey, Blasko Under the sponsorship of Miss Ruth Dowe, Miss Louise Hainline and Mr. Stephen Vanek, the 12-Bh'tncrocm enjoyed a year of financial and social success. At the begin- ning of the yrar H d'cy Stacey was elected president: Jeanne Howard, vice-president; Beatrice Blasko. scc'etary; John Steward, treasurer; and Bill Guion, program chairman. Hedley Stacey has been president for two years. Both Jeanne Howard and Beatrice Blasko were class presidents during their sophomore year when homerooms were divided. During their four years the seniors sponsored several outstanding activities such as the “Killarney Kick”, the sophomore dance, the J-Hop, and the “Jinx Swing , which was given this year. The Tatterman Marionettes”, the traditional sponge dance, and the senior play, “Green Stockings”, were other major activities of the year. Several seniors have been outstanding since entering high school. Bernard Carroll deserves special mention for his oratorical achievements, Janet Bird, John Steward, and Marjorie Strand for speech activities and work in school plays. Bernard Rosalik and Wilson McEvoy participation in athletics. As freshmen the class numbered 126 and about 120 will graduate this year, the largest class ever to graduate from Dearborn High. 11-A HOMEROOM Wickens, Crowther. Jansson, M. Johnson Under the sponsorship of Mr. Harry Duke and Miss Mary Dietrich, the 11-A home- room put in a busy semester, adding over $21 to its treasury. Rather unusual is the fact that all the officers are girls. Mary Lois Johnson is presi- dent; Margareta Jansson, vice-president: Marion Crowther, secretary, and Wanda Wick- ens, treasurer. Giving a Junior-Senior Banquet to the mid-year seniors was one of their activities. It was held at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church January 26. Dick Moore was toastmaster and Mary Lois Johnson welcomed the seniors. Carrying out the theme of Longfellow’s “Tales of a Wayside Inn, they used the miniature log cabin school, given by the 1936 class, for decorating the speaker’s table. Mable Koppitsch, Constance Needham, Virginia Wilkie, and Wanda Wickens were committee heads. Combining with the 11-B homeroom, they gave the annual J-Hop. With a band from Cuba, decorations complemented the music with a thatched hut, palm trees, a glittering moon and lush grass. A grand march was held during intermission, and free ginger ale was served. Programs and tickets were printed on black cardboard with silver letters. Mildred Schneider, Rodney Louden, Joe Johnston, and Jean Calder had charge of the various committees, and over $140 was taken in. 11-B HOMEROOM Hack : Barr. R. Copp. R. Richardson. Porter. Kelley Front: J. Parker. Hain. Rogers. Boor Because the 11-B homeroom had over 150 members, it was necessary for it to have aii executive board besides the officers. President of the group is George Hain: vice- president. Donald Boor; secretary, Patricia Rogers; treasurer, James Parker, and pro- gram chairman, Robert Barr. Those on the executive board are Robert Copp. Robert Richardson, Howard Porter and Elton Kelly. Miss Muriel Wolkins and Mr. Floyd Haight are their sponsors. Their big event was the annual J-Hop which was given with the ll-A's. Profits were divided as to the number of persons in each homeroom, so the 11-B’s received $50.20 as their share. Much credit for its success was due to Robert Richardson, who designed all, and made most, of the decorations. Palm trees 10 feet high and two glittering J-Hop signs, nine and seven feet tall, were all created by his clever imagination. Arthur Quer- feld made the linoleum cut for the silver and black programs, and Ernest Helmrich helped to select the orchestra. Publicity cards seen all over Dearborn were the results of Jack Shaughnesy’s labors and the crowded dance floor was proof that Donald Reed is a good ticket salesman. Helen Sideras is homeroom representative for G. A. A. 10th GRADE HOMEROOM Hack: Timmons, W. Schmaltz, D. Wilson, Spratt, Emery Middle: X. Johnson, Ramsdell, B. Dick, Vicarv. Fischer, Cahow Front: M. Moore, Olds, V. Lewis, Wooton, DeYoung. Boss The 10th grade is divided into four groups. All 10-A students are in one homeroom under the supervision of Mrs. Veva Wood and Mr. Jack Rabe, while Mr. Albert Rider, Miss Ruth Reynolds and Miss Helene Wilson each sponsor a 10-B group. Officers for the 10-A homeroom are Dean Wilson, president: Bill Spratt, vice-president: Betty Hummel, secretary, and Carol Ann Fischer, treasurer. Mr. Rider's division of the 10-B class is presided over by Robert Cahow, with Charles Emery as vice-president: Margaret Boss as secretary, and Doris DeYoung, treasurer. Norman Johnson is presiden tof Miss Rey- nold’s homeroom, Ruth Olds, vice-president, and Vera Lewis, secretary-treasurer. Officers for Miss Wilson’s homeroom are: president, Jane Wooton; vice-president, O’Dell Tim- mons, secretary-treasurer, Bill Schmaltz. Program chairmen for all four groups are Har- riette Vicary, Barbara Ramsdell, and Mary Moore. The most successful activity of the year was the sophomore dance, called the Rein- deer Trot. It featured Earl Harger’s orchestra. The class also made money by selling candy bars at sports activities. One class party was held which was called Cupid's Turn- out, and nearly all of the 10th grade class was present. 9-B HOMEROOM Back: H. Fisher, E. Parker, R. Starck, M. Schumann, M. Stephens. Alcorn, Xoreen, B Waggener Front: Stobbe, B. Wood, J. Anderson, L. Youmans. J. MacKinnon, R. Hynett With 103 students entering high school in September, the 9-B s were divided into three groups. Those whose last names began with any letter from A through G were in a group sponsored by Mr. Frank McIntyre. Its officers were, president, Catherine Garrison: vice- president, Howard Fisher; secretary. Betty Jane Alcorn: treasurer, Janet Anderson, and pro-gram chairman, Joyce Grunda. In the second group, H through P, Robert Hynett was elected president; Elisha Parker, vice-president; Betty Norecn, secretary-treasurer, and John MacKinnon, pro- gram chairman. This group was under the guidance of Miss Mabel Pollakowski. In the group, P. through Z, of which Mr. Leon Wolcott was sponsor, Betty Ann Woods was president; Marvin Schumann, vice-president: Betty Waggener, secretary: Richard Read, treasurer, and Marjorie Stephens, program chairman. With the help of the 9-A’s, in March the 9-B’s put on the Colleen Capers just before St. Patrick’s Day. This was the first big dance attempted by the freshmen. At Christmas time Mr. Wolcott’s and Miss Pollakowski’s homerooms had a party together. 9A HOMEROOM Back: Mrs. Holt, sponsor, Salmonson. Mr. Gwinnell, sponsor Front: B. Grandy, Andrews, Craig Under the leadership of Mr. Russell Gwinnell and Mrs. Delcie Holt, the 9-A class has had a most successful year. The class, with 55 members, elected Keith Salmonson as its president; Doris Craig as vice-president; Marie Andrews, secretary; James Sagar. treas- urer; Kenneth Ferrell, boys’ athletic manager, and Doris Craig, girls’ athletic manager. Class meetings have been made up largely of discussion of coming activities and music furnished by school members. Bea Grandy was the program chairman. Early in De- cember, the class held an informal party in the auditorium. Nearly every member of the lass was present. The outstanding activity of the year was the Colleen Capers, the dance presented by 9-A class in conjunction with the 9-B class. The dance was held March 13 in the high school auditorium, with the High-Hatters furnishing the music. Mr. Gwinnell was in charge of ticket sales, and Mrs. Holt was faculty adviser of decorating. The decorations were in keeping with St. Patrick’s Day, the walls being adorned with shamrocks while in the middle of the floor was a wishing-well. VOCATIONAL HOMEROOM Back: M. Beddoes, Rhodes, Hoganson, Palmer, Sabon, R. Beems, Barrows, Tennant, Ditton, Van Eck, W. Beddoes Second: Meyers, Krueger, Bertram. Warren. Phipps, Dear, Burr, Butler, Ziegler, R. Lewis, Scallen Third: Keeney, Guffey, Dillingham, V. Beems, F. Earle, Ulch, Spencer, Tripod, R. Wagle, R. Warren, H. Sylvester Front: Jentz, Sturzenegger, Burry. D. Donaldson, Hughes, Dapprich, Tavtigian, Marks, J. Richardson, G. Beems, I. Miller. With 52 members in its homeroom this year, the vocational class continued to func- tion along the same lines as in previous years. Donald Dapprich was chosen to lead the homeroom, with Donald Marks as vice-president and Azad Tavtigian as secretary- treasurer. Under the supervision of Mr. Yanek. with the assistance of Mr. Ramsdell, they are taught practically all of the main subjects that are included in the curriculum of the high school as well as given vocational guidance in the field of mechanics. New courses added this year are a wood pattern making course and chemistry, the latter having been taken before, although not extensively. Trips were taken to the Detroit News and to the blast furnaces of the Ford Motor Company. Donald Marks was selected as editor of the Vocational News and Lloyd Tennant as his assistant, with William Beddoes as chief printer. They were well represented in the field of sports as Marks, Dapprich, and 1 ennant played varsity basketball, Scallen, Tennant. Ditton, and Spencer played varsity football Others competed in various sports. Donald Dapprich was also the first one ever to be elected to the National Honor Society from that class. AUTOGRAPHS SPORTS B-TEAM FOOTBALL Back: Mr. McIntyre, coach. Curtis. Dillingham. McWilliam, Lyman, T. O’Brien, C. Parham, A. Morse Middle: D. Wilson, Fitzpatrick. L. Youmans, Shaughnesy, E. Helmrich. Dunn Front: D. Rowe. R. Graham Football season opened this year with the introduction of a reserve team to supple- ment the varsity squad. It was organized with the same ideas as those held of the basket- ball reserve team. Because it is necessary to train hard and learn many fundamentals in football, this team was organized mainly for freshmen and sophomores who are the prospective varsity material. Not only do the younger boys learn the fundamentals, but they develop themselves so they will, when they are of varsity calibre, be accustomed to, and be able to meet, the physical tests which varsity football puts forth. The training was not all work and no play, however, as five games were scheduled with teams their size and strength. They won every one of the scheduled games, during which they compiled 137 points to their opponents’ six. While the Wayne varsity held the Dearborn varsity to a scoreless tie the reserves took their Zebra opponents to the tune of 53-0, and as both teams are the future varsity players, prospects are quite bright. During this season players who were not quite good enough for varsity competition developed a great deal and will play an important part in next year’s team. VARSITY BASKETBALL Back: L. Miller, W. Schmaltz, C. Breland. Albertson, Lyman, W. Beddoes, Spencer, E. Davis, D. Johnson, Osterstock. Buffenbarger Middle: McEvoy, Hain, Tennant, C. Helmrich. Whitfield, Boor. Marks, Mr. McIntyre, coach Front: Dapprich, M. Beddoes, Stacey Finishing fifth in the Twin Valley League, the Pioneer varsity basketball team closed a partly successful season, in spite of an unusually number of bad breaks. Out of ten league games, the Pioneers won three and lost seven for a final average of .300. Out of four non-league games, the varsity won one and lost three. Of the four regulars who should have returned at the first of the season, only Wilson McEvoy was on hand. Coach Frank McIntyre’s cagemen were broken up with injuries most of the season. He says, “With so many injuries occurring within a mere two weeks, the morale of the team was obviously shattered. However, the return of George Aldrich and Bob Albertson at the beginning of the second semester did much to rejuvenate the team.” Lack of height bothered the boys all season, but the team’s passing skill kept them a dangerous threat in the circuit. The big comeback of the season was the defeat of Plymouth I'ebruary 19. The Pioneer victory definitely eliminated Plymouth from first place in the league. The varsity reserve quintet, winning 11 out of 14 games, gives a bright picture of next year’s team. CROSS-COUNTRY Rack: Mr. Wetzel, coach, Gibbs, Breuer, Cahow, Kemp, Vartanian, Hamilton Front: York, Steward, Guion, Donaldson, J. Parker, P. Fox While the cross-country team this year was unable to uphold its record of previous years, it was able to furnish a fine competing team. As cross-countn and football are rival sports, it is rather difficult to obtain material for the former, for it is a sport that holds no glory for the winner, there being few spectators who care to wait until the end of a cross-country run to cheer the team. Beginning the season, Dearborn defeated River Rouge on the home course, giving a fine stare for the new year. Although the second meet was held at Ecorse, the harriers came away victorious. Ypsilanti was the only school to which Dearborn lost in a dual meet. The Annual Regional Meet was again conducted at Dearborn for the second con- secutive year. Dearborn placed second in it, being defeated by Ferndale. In the state run, held at Ypsilanti, the harriers placed sixth. For the last race of the year, Ypsilanti defeated Dearborn in the League Meet. Captain Donaldson set a record on the hilly course, 10:47, beating Alve Hayes’ record of 10:48, in 1934. There were six varsity letters awarded and one manager’s letter, also six reserve letters. David Donaldson, James York. James Parker, Paul Fox William Guion, and John Steward, received the varsity awards, while Jim Hamilton was given the manager’s letter. TRACK Back: J. Hamilton, Eyre, Sollingcr, Breuer, N.

N'ecly. D. Rowe, Cahow, Hughes. F. Parker I.ast vear the track team suffered its first serious setback in a number of years. Out of nine meets, two were won and seven lost, placing second in the Regionals, third in the League, and 26th in the State meets. Although the material for this year was all young, the coach had his hopes based mainly on the fact that in the following year they would come through with flying colors. There were 16 letters awarded to Meyers. Eldredge, Evans, McEvoy. Ormond, Don- aldson. Scallen, Eglestone, Johnson. Liddell. Rosalik. York. Krvnen. Bird. Fox. Richardson. Those receiving reserve letters were: Helmrich, Plummer, Ridley, Cable. Spencer, Gibbs, Eyre, Cahow, Rosalik, and Allen. Four junior high letters were given to Bernier, Hancock, Nieland, and Glotzhober. The highest number of points was acquired by Donald Meyers, who received 53.25, and was followed by David Eldredge, with 50.5. Donald Meyers was elected captam for the 1937 season, succeeding Harold Evans. Although there will be very few of the varsity members back on the squad for 1937, Coach Leith Wetzel is hoping for a successful year. Most of the meets will be changed as Dearborn High is now a class A school. As usual, the first two or three meets will be held indoors at Wyandotte and River Rouge. The first outdoor meet is with Ecorse, and will be held at Dearborn. B-TEAM BASKETBALL Back: B. Michelis, Stackman. Westbay, Stroud, Warner, Curtis Second: Mr. Rabe, coach, S. Hatch. Gibbs, Spratt, J. O’Brien, R. Graham. Dunn, Gates 1 bird: I. O’Brien, R. Beems, H. Dietrich, E. Helmrich, Hubbard, D. Wilson Front: E. Kelly, J. Richardson, L. Wright Since Coach Jack Rabe was added to the athletic staff of the high school, a B-team basketball club was formed this year. While Mr. Frank McIntyre coached the varsity team, the B-team went forward with their practising regularly, meeting nearly every afternoon after school. The group of boys was formed for after-school recreation rather than for hard competition with other schools. The group, averaging about 20 to 30 boys, was divided into three sections. The first was the freshman group, which played in the Dearborn Junior High School league. It also played the Ecorse high school freshmen. A freshman-sophomore group was formed for boys not so experienced as members of the junior-senior group. Members of the latter two groups played B-teams from high schools such as Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, Melvindale, Wayne, Edison Institute, Henry Ford Trade School, Hunter Intermediate of Detroit, and several others. Members of the team believe that they broke just about even in the number of games won and the number lost. Since most of the varsity boys will be graduated by January, 1938. many of the mem- bers will stand a good chance in making next year’s varsity team. VARISTY FOOTBALL Back: Mr. Rabe, coach, D. Johnson, H. Dietrich, R. Lewis, Lessel, Tennant, C. Youmans, M. Scallen. C. Helmrich Middle: Reinhart, J. Richardson. K. Kelley, Hubbard. Porter. Spencer. Buffenbarger Front: Rosalik, McEvoy, Boor L'nder a new coach, Mr. Jack Rabe, Dearborn High School’s 1936 football team placed second in league competition, winning three games, losing two, and tying three. The first game on the schedule was against their toughest opponents and winners in the league. River Rouge. They lost by a score of 20-0. The Pioneers’ defeat of Plymouth strength- ened their morale after tying Ecorse (in a wet kicking duel) and the alumni, the latter game being played to till an open date and serve as a practice game. They played a score- less tie with Wayne for the fourth consecutive year and trounced Ypsilanti. Dearborn was surprised by Lincoln Park in a 6-0 defeat, as it was the general consensus of opinion that Dearborn would win. They then went to Flint and beat the School of the Deaf on the latter’s field. This year Dearborn used the U. of M. type of offense and called signals, whereas last season the team gathered in a huddle before each play. Fred Reinhart, valuable guard, was lost to the team by a head injury received in the clash with Wayne. The less of George Aldrich, a backfield man ineligible for the se- mester, was also felt. Wilson McEvoy won the “most valuable player award given by the Dearborn Exchange Club. SENIOR GIRLS' BASKETBALL CHAMPIONS Hack: Mrs. Holt, coach. Champney. Rennick, Blanchard, Baden, Greenwald. S. Gehle C. Davis Front: Rosemary Dupure, Neely. Xeubert. M. Wurst. Rothfuss, P. Price. Landsberg For Hu -t . nd consecutive year the setiior girls. juniors of last year, have captured the title of champions. As for the second team, it also came out victorious, having lost one game to the 12th last year. The championship was won before two first team girls, Catherine Davis and Dorothy Greenwald. graduated in January. With Virginia Neely as manager, and Marilynn Rothfuss as captain, the two teams won every game. The hardest game, as might be expected, was not the championship game, but the one between the 10th vs. 12th first teams. In a one minute overtime, the 12th broke the tie and won with the score of 9-8. The teams were in this order: First team—Marilynn Rothfuss, jumping center; Vir- ginia Neely, running center; Barbara Rennick, Catherine Davis, forwards: Lois Champ- ney, Shirley Gehle. guards. Substitutes—Helen Baden, Rose Dupure, Dorothy Greenwald. Second team—Betty Forbes, jumping center; Phyllis Price, running center; Emma Neu- bert, Helen Dietrich, forwards, and Lillian Bernier. Virginia Rhodes, guards. Substitutes —Marian Wurst. Wilma Tattan. Lillian Landsberg. Final scores and days played for the first team are: December 8, 9 vs. 12, 18-2; Jan- uary 7. 10 vs. 12. 9-8: January 12, 11 vs. 12. 12-9. GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Rack : Craig, Crowther, Stephens, J. Davis, M. Flake, H. Sideras Front: Xeely, Mrs. Holt, sponsor. M. Johnson. Rennick, G. Abbott. Hansen Since Catherine Davis graduated in January. Barbara Rennick assumed the duties of president, with Mary Lois Johnson as vice-president and recorder of points. Other officers are Leona Hansen, secretary and baseball manager: and Gladys Abbott, treasurer and skating manager. Representatives from each homeroom are chosen to meet with the officers and form a board. Various representatives and their duties as managers arc Vir- ginia Xeely. basketball: Marian Crowther. archery: Helen Sideras, soccer: Jean Davis, golf: Doris Craig, volley ball: Marjorie Stephens, tennis: and Fern Cline, hiking. The organization is open to all girls in school, the only requirement being participa- tion in any sport offered by G. A. A.. Roth team games and individual sports arc offered for interclass competition, soccer, basketball, volley ball, and badminton being the sports offered by the organization so far this year. Baseball, tennis, and archcry have been planned for spring sports. A girl is able to earn some award each year, numerals, a small D. a large D. a gold pin, and each year the Dorothy Smith Memorial Cup is awarded to the most outstanding senior girl in sports. Social activies for the year have included a Mothers’ and Daughters’ Tea and a trip to the International Ice Revue. BASEBALL Hack: lavtigian, Solomon, E. Helmrich, Ross, O'Brien, McBain, Hubbard, King, W Schmaltz Middle: Buffenbarger, H. Rhodes, G. Dietrich. Palmer, Steward, Penny, John. Hain, Boor, Ktikalek. Porter. Front: Emery, Lessel, Albertson, Fitzpatrick, Cassini, Tennant, Marks, J. Richardson, V. Coffin With a moderate turnout including six of last year’s varsity players and nine reserves, the baseball team has, at this writing, prospects of a fruitful season. The 1936 team won the T. V. A. championship, but the best pitchers and catcher have gone. Don Boor, who finished first last season with a batting average of .400, is back, however, along with Bob Albertson, Jack Cassini, John Ross, Louis Fitzpatrick, and George Hain. Experience is an essential factor and the nine reserves, Jack O’Brien, John Steward, Arthur Lessel, William Schmaltz, Charles Emery, Jack Richardson, Don Marks, Lloyd Tennant, and Elton Kelley are welcomed by Coach McIntyre. Rather than elect a season captain, one will be chosen before each game as was done in football last fall. Spring came early this year, and the boys were able to practice outside the first week instead of in the gymnas- ium, as is usually done. There will be six home games and five games away. The schedule follows: April 23, Lincoln Park, here: April 27, Ann Arbor, there; May 4, Wayne, there; May 7, Ypsilanti, here; May 11, River Rouge, here; May 14, Plymouth, there; .May 18, Ecorse, here; May 21, Wayne, here; May 25, Ypsilanti, there; May 28, River Rouge, there; June 1, Plymouth, here; June 4, Ecorse, there. Open dates are now under consideration. TENNIS TEAM Back : Reinhart, N. Walker. Lyman, J. Johnston Front : Reed, H. Hayes, Eschelbach, Stacey, D. Dapprich Winning the T. V. A. championship in the second year of tennis organization here in school, the Orange and Black racqueteers brought to our showcases a handsome trophy. Starting in 1935, when the golf team was organized, they reached their peak last year. They are captained by Donald Eschelbach, who also led them the first year. Donald won the district and regional tournaments last year, but, through erroneous negotiations, did not go to the state tournament. He is back once more this year as team captain. Undefeated throughout five meets in the league, the team went to the district in which Donald was the only winner, the doubles team having been eliminated by River Rouge. Four of last year’s squad playing again this year are Eschelbach, Dapprich, Hayes and Lyman. Johnston, Reed, and Stacey are among the new recruits. It is conceded that this year’s team should be well in the running if doubles combi- nations can get that click. Eschelbach is still the best in the league and it is up to the rest to uphold their end of the squad. TUMBLING CLUB Back: Giamartin, M. Moore, DeYoung, Yicary. B. Hayes Front: Bryan. E. Moeckel, Lowe, G. Schroeder. Andrews. Flake. Tribby Although not a comparatively well-known organization, the Girls’ Tumbling Class I has been actively busy in its own small way. Meeting after school on the second and I fourth Monday of every month, the girls have indulged in such things as rolls, dives. I stomach balances, hand-knee balance, and have had fun working out various comic stunts, I such as the eskimo rolls, elephant walks, and others. A few pyramids have also been I attempted. Agility, flexibility, and grace in posture are some of the benefits acquired from this class. It is mentally helpful, too. It gives one self-confidence in oneself. As this is one of the activities that the G. A. A. sponsors, points are given to those I who join, just as for playing on a team in some other sport, 25 points for every enrolled girl each semester. The 20 girls who have faithfully attended the diving, rolling, stunting, tumbling ses- sions are: Charlotte Haybell, Mandy Flake. Gladys Schroeder, Doris DeYoung. Vera I Lewis, Margaret Hamilton. Adele Giamartin. Evelyn Edwards, Mary Moore. Marjorie Stephens, Doris Messenger. Janet Anderson. Harriette Vicary. Nadine Wison, Erica Moeckel. Margaret Andrews. Waneta Bryan, Barbara Hayes, Lorene Lowe, and Donna- belle Tribby. Mrs. Delcie Holt is the club sponsor. ACTIVITIES ORCHESTRA Violins: Mauerhoff, conccrtmaster. Hallup, Bowyer. H. Hayes, Forsberg, M.

Ludvik The orchestra’s most important performances were in the Christmas Concert given in the auditorium of Dearborn High School on December 18, in which it shared honors with the chorus, and in the Spring Concert. Background for the all-school and senior plays was provided by the school orchestra and both January and June seniors received their diplomas to its “Pomp and Circumstance.” It accompanied “Hollywood Bound , the light opera which was produced by the music department. There were 18 violins this year, a number which is more than it has had at any time during the past two years and this year’s new material was far superior to any of the preceding ones. The orchestra’s repertoire includes several symphonies, concert numbers, overtures and suites, in addition to much program music. Instrumentation has improved considerably and it is hoped that in a few years the instrumentation will be so arranged as to make a good balanced ensemble. After a successful year, in which it has appeared seven times in addition to numerous performances in assemblies, the orchestra can claim musical accomplishment. BAND Flutes: Houston, P.

Neely The band has improved much this year an das a result it has been playing much more difficult selections. Several members are taking private lessons from competent teachers. Last year there was only one trombone, baritone, and bass; now there are four trom- bones, two baritones, and three basses. A regular flute, oboe, and bassoon have also been added. This makes the band more complete and colorful. There are now 43 members. This fall it did considerable marching. It attended two outside football games and even marched in the rain at one. This is the first year the band has done anything like this and it did quite well. This year the Southeastern Michigan Band and Orchestra Association held its solo and ensemble festival at Dearborn High School. It was non-competitive as the students were rated superion, excellet, good, fair, and below average. Over 250 took part, about 16 being from Dearborn. Out of the 10 Dvaid MacFarland was the only person to get a first division; several placed third. SAXOPHONE TRIO Lessel. J. Lindenmuth, J. Parker The Sax Trio, sponsored by Mr. Albert Rider, is a comparatively new feature in the music department, but it has averaged more performances than any other group in the music field. It is composed of Arthur Lessel, tenor sax and director, Jane Lindenmuth, alto, and James Parker, alto. Betty W ood accompanies them at the piano. Their first appearance occurred at Dearborn High School, where they played on the Amateur Program. Becoming favorites that night, they have since played for home- rooms in the high school, and for programs at Greenfield Village, Oxford, and Tomlinson schools. They also have entertained lodges, clubs, and church functions in Dearborn throughout the year. The trio rated 3rd division in the Southeastern Michigan Band Associations, Solo and Ensemble Festival held in Dearborn High School, February 15. Arthur Lessel rated 2nd division in the solo contest. All three entered the solo contest at the State Festival at Ann Arbor, May 1. The Saxophone Trio has contributed much entertainment this year, and Mr. Albert Rider said he was pleased with the three who became such favorites in and out of school. BRASS QUARTET G. Ludvik, K. Bailey, Giles, D. MacFarland The Brass Quartet, under the supervision of Mr. Albert W. Rider, is one of the latest additions to the music department of Dearborn High School. It was organized in the fall of this school year to offer special training in small ensemble work for the better instru- mental players, as Mr. Rider believes this to be essential for a person to have a complete musical training. David MacFarland plays the baritone; Kelvin Bailey, first cornet; Melvin Giles, second cornet; and George Ludvik, the French horn. At present George is improving his musical abilities by studying with one of the horn players in the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Due to the fact that several of the students are seniors, Mr. Rider is planning on reorganizing the quartet and making it up of under classmen, preferably sophomores and juniors, who can carry on with their work in this capacity next year. This quartet has not had much outside work because of the lack of organization, al- though it has played for several club functions and school affairs. GIRLS SEXTET Dewar, Stewart, Lindenmuth, Winkle, Starck, K. Grandy, Helwig, Ruth McKee Having organized this year, the Girls’ Sextet is an ensemble which is new in Dearborn High School. It is comprised of six girls who have been prominent in the chorus. Myrtle Helwig and Betty Stewart are the first sopranos, Beulah Dewar, Jane Lindenmuth and Marjorie Winkel, second sopranos, while Dorothy Starck and Ruth McKee are altos. They are accompanied by Katherine Grandy. Rehearsals are held two or three nights of every week. Usually once every week, I the Girls’ Sextet has an opportunity to sing at some gathering of organizations. The Sextet has performed at various schools, community functions and at churches and lodge groups. Their largest audience was one of 500 people at a lodge meeting held in Dearborn High School. They have sung at 20 different meetings, with their total audiences being I approximately 2,000. Their repertoire consists of light music as well as pieces of a more classical form. I Both the Saxophone Trio and the Girls’ Sextet have proved the most popular among I first year ensembles. Having sung with other schools, the Girls’ Sextet has rendered some popular and I phasing programs. The Sextet is under the direction and supervision of Mr. Albert W. I Rider, the high school's musical director. CHORUS Back: Steffcs, Ainsworth, B. Anderson, Henderson, Donaldson, Sollinger, McEvoy, Starck, J. Osborne, Bufifenbarger Second: Sautter, Winkle, G. Ellstrom, M. Stephens, O. Ellstrom, Hayes, Guion, Hayward, Lessel, B. Minges, Hebestreit, McKenzie, Willett Third: Winkworth, B. Ditton, Ernest, D. Clark, Ekman, Saboley. Birchett. Ponsar, Hole, Fisher, A. Lepp, S. Dapprich, Lindenmuth Front: K. Grandy, Bedrosian, V. Cohn, M. Ludvik, Rice, B. Allmand, Stewart, B. Grandy, Helwig, R. Youmans, M. Jamieson, J. Wright, Ruth McKee, Dewar. Under the direction of Mr. Albert W. Rider for the second year, the chorus had an- other successful course of instruction. The first semester there were 56 members, but the second semester the total rose to 98. Only 34 of these were boys, but they did their work well in spite of the fact that they were outnumbered by girls. During the school year the chorus gave two outstanding performances. For the sec- ond year the Christmas Concert was given by the chorus with the assistance of the school orchestra, which is also under the direction of Mr. Rider. The concert is an annual event which has been well attended both years it has been presented. In the spring the operetta w'as given which was also received well by a full house. This year the presentation was “Hollywood Bound,’ a satire on life in the movie capital. It is a modern operetta written by Don Wilson. The chorus composed most of the cast, assisted by the orchestra and dancing class. Unusual sound effects were u„cd in the performance. At the Twin Valley Music Festival the chorus participated and also in the Inter- national Music Festival held at Orchestra Hall. SENIOR PLAY Back: Donaldson, Steward, N. Walker, Coffman, D. Johnson Front: Rothfuss. R. Youmans, Stacey, J. Bird. P. Price. “Green Stockings”, a three-act comedy, was chosen as the senior play this year and was directed by Mr. Alton Reeves. Two performances were given, one March 18, and the other March 19, making a profit of approximately $115. The plot centered around the English tradition of the oldest unmarried sister having to wear green stockings at the weddings of younger sisters. Celia, the eldest sister, has had to wear them twice. In the play, she is prevented from wearing a third pair by in- venting an imaginary lover, John Smith, who comes to life later in the play. Hedley Stacey played the leading male role as Smith and Janet Bird was Celia. Marilynn Rothfuss acted the part of Celia's sister, Madge, Ruth Youmans as Evelyn, and Phyllis Price as Phyllis, the youngest sister who was engaged to Robert Tarver, a character portrayed by Dewey Johnson. John Coffman acted as Admiral Grice and Neville Walker was Martin, the old family butler. The part of Willian Faraday, the father, was taken by John Steward with Clyde Ebling and David Donaldson acting as two young bachelors. Shirley Gehle won many laughs while acting as the humorous in- dividual, Aunt Ida. The elaborate setting arid costumes helped make the play an outstanding one. CLARINET QUARTET Meyers. Parker, Laird, Porter For the first time this year a clarinet quarter was organized. It is comp -ed of four junior members from the orchestra and band. Its purpose is to further the development of individual and small ensembles. This organization is made up of three B flat clarinets and one base clarinet. Joseph Laird is the first clarinetist and director: Russel Meyers the second clarinetist: F.lisha Parker third, and Howard Porter plays either the fourth or bass clarinet. Three members. Joseph Laird. Russell Meyers, and Howard Porter, were entered in the Southeastern Michigan Solo Contest. The quartet took third division in the en- semble events. Mr. Albert Rider, the music director, also entered the quartet in the Michigan State Solo and Ensemble Festival held at Ann Arbor May 1. This event is of- fered annually by the Michigan Band and Orchestra Association. Along with various other ensembles the quartet played at several civic clubs and for a few community organizations. The group was also one of the featured numbers in the spring band concert. Mr. Rider has aspirations that several more ensembles will be organized next year, for lie feels that individual instrumental work is of great value to musical students. QUILL AND SCROLL Hack: Rennick, Stacey, J. Bird Front: Spittle, Blasko, Hynett, M. Neisler, M. Johnson A charter was first received from the Quill and Scroll Society in the year 1929. It is an international honorary society for high school journalists and Mr. Ellis Martin is the adviser. Membership numbers about 87 boys and girls. One desiring membership must have taken the course offered in journalism, be either a junior or senior, be in the upper third of his class, and recommended by his adviser for superior work. Samples of writing such as editorials, feature stories, and news stories which have appeared in The Observer” are sent to national authorities and a project consisting of newspaper clippings must be submitted, with an explanatory article, to the adviser before admittance. Initiation into the Quill and Scroll Society takes place twice each year in June and January during honor assemblies. Pins and certificates are presented by Mr. Ray Adams to each student, girls receive corsages from the Observer staff and each member receives a year’s subscription to the “Quill and Scroll Magazine’.’ Last June 13 girls and one boy were admitted to the society and in January eight more students did the required work and gained membership into the Quill and Scroll. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Back: Miss Betts, founder, Stacey, Donaldson, D. Dapprich Front: V. Neely, Champney, J. Bird, Blasko Twice a year the impressive initiation ceremony of the Honor Society is watched hy members of the high school. Four members in caps and gowns, representing Leadership, Character. Service and Scholarship, unroll the scroll. After speeches are given by each of them and congratulations arc extended by the principal, the pledge is administered and initiates sign the roster. Dearborn High School’s chapter of the National Honor Society initiated eight students into its ranks at the Honor Assembly held May 27, 1936. Those admitted from the 12-A class were Robert and Donald Currie. Ruth Davis and James Laird. The three 12-B’s who signed the scroll were David Donaldson. Douglas Wright, and Lois Champney. Virginia Neely was elected from the 11-A class. Two girls and three boys entered the society in January. They were Janet Bird, Beatrice Blasko, Donald Dapprich, and Hedley Stacey from the 12-B, and Gert Mauer- hoff. a 12-A. With Jane Perry in charge, the anual banquet was given on March 5 in the school lobby. Dinner was served by Girl Reserves and Varsity Club members.

Each member is given a certain duty and the work is divided up so that each student has an opportunity to perform each one. Miss Jane Hicks has been in charge of the library for three years and has been assisted by Miss Eileen Wood for the last two. The staff learns how to mend the books in the library, how to number them and how to arrange them on the shelves. They also learn how to take care of the desk where books are checked out. Once a month the staff has a social meeting where a committee is chosen and enter- tainment is provided.

Some of the outstanding displays shown in the library the past year were of France, Germany, and South America.

ADVERTISING Train for Business The marked recovery in business is bringing new opportunities for young men and women who have supplemented their high school education with thorough specialized training. In a professional school of business training, such as ours, high school grad- uates can qualify for satisfactory employment by taking a Secretarial, Account- ing, Shorthand, Stenotype, or Business Administration Course. By maintaining service out of the ordinary, The Business Institute is today one of the outstanding business schools of America. A personal call is suggested as this is always the most satisfactory method of investigation.
