1940 PIONEER An Informal Picture Rook of School Life at Dearborn High School Printed by Dearborn Mu.ii .School Pres r V- OXSTRL( I El) in 1920 to house a niaximum of 750 students, the school building became inadequate for the 1100-odd pupils who crowded its halls last year. Construction was started in the summer on a wing at the north end of the building, which was occupied at the beginning of second semester. The school district provided 55 percent of the cost, the PWA the remainder. Costs totaled over S93.000. of which nearly $21,000 was spent for equipment. The wing, pictured at left, matches the rest of the building, having been provided for in the original plans. It houses vocational, com- mercial. and art units, with a few rooms for other work. DeARIjORX High School has a well administered health pro- gram in which Mrs. Betty Ives, school nurse, takes an active part. Here she is shown giving vision tests. Von Pirquet tests and others are also given, insuring ample protection for the health of all students. LARCiii and completely equipped Commercial Department offers business training for a large number of students. Here Miss Lewis supervises a bookkeeping group. RS. RIDER dictates to a busy shorthand class. NiNETY-TWO typewriters in use all day offer excellent train- ing for office practice. A xaCIUAL office practice is given in a room equipped with the latest machines for that type of work. BUSY group of student writers prepare copy for The Observer, school paper, which is distributed free to students, and all teachers throughout the system. The paper is self-supporting and annually wins recommendations in national ratings. Miss AW' MILLER, a graduate of the school, supervises the distribution of and takes care of the thousands of text books which are supplied free of charge. Student supplies are sold under her direction. UITABLE equipment and careful teaching enc on rages students with artistic ability to express themselves. X RAWIXG, the plastic arts, and jewelry making are a few of the branches taught in the art department. I' the right, orchestra members await the starting baton. There is also a band that plays at football games and public functions, and several smaller instrumental groups. A COMPREHENSIVE music program trains students in vocal and intrumental expression. At the left a chorus group is being put through its paces. ThH Vocational Department offers training leading' to jobs in the mechanical field. Above, Mr. Harold Myler directs scholastic training. l elo v, a group in the wood shop. MkM BERS of' the chemistry class busily measure for an import- ant experiment. Some of these people will pursue scientific work in college, others will apply their training in the home or in commer- cial fields. T ... „ ................................ A. HE Science Department provides training in the fields of bi- ology. physics, chemistry, geography, and photograph)'. The pho- tography class illustrated below has attracted numbers of students for several years and is increasingly popular. .A BUMPER freshman class of 400. together with a greatly in- creased general enrollment, made re-arrangement of study halls a necessity. Above is shown a corner of the freshman study hall, which is crowded all day long. Sophomores have a study hall to themselves, also, while upper-classmen, 11th and 12th grades, are combined in study arrangements. A SPACIOUS and attractive library under supervision all clay offers material for work and play. Here students may check data for their various classes or may chose instructive reading for worth- while leisure. HYSICAL Education is necessary for all students at certain re- quired periods. Above, a freshman group play volley ball. Below, a lively class of girls begins a dance routine. Football occupies the center of attention in the autumn months. Here are informal shots of two games taken by Mr. Challis, sports photographer. 3 ASKETBALL claims interest as football ends. Lively contests are waged on the school floor and in neighboring gyms. No avenging furies are these, but enthusiastic cheerleaders. Athletic heroes are spurred to action by organized yells led by the fairer sex. Q IXCE many graduates embrace matrimony, interest in home training is strong and well directed. In a suite of rooms especially arranged and equipped, both boys and girls learn the household arts by actual practice. Personal appearance and the art of getting along with others are also stressed. s IAL training’ is encouraged by means of formal and informal dances and parties, some of them seasonal, others group efforts, in which students share the work and enjoy the fun. Not infrequently administrative officers and their wives act as chaperons. AUTOGRAPHS Saretta Adams, Fred Arndt, Margaret Barnhous, Robert Black. James Bristol, Xaomi Brothers, Bernard Bushaw.
