Dearborn High School - Pioneer Yearbook (Dearborn, MI)

Text from Pages 1 - 72 of the 1943 volume:

MEMORIES OF THE WAR YEAR...... Scenes Cc cun pus Remember the bonfire pep rally before the tra- ditional Wayne game? The huge burning D sym- bolized the flaming victory over our biggest rival. Remember the crowds that lined the fenct eagerly awaiting the kickoff of the last garni of the football season? Remember how bond sales and the Cross? we went over the top in many campaigns for the Red f emembi emember the hard fought battles of each game for a championship while the crowd looked on excitedly? 2 We are just another senior class leaving the grounds of Dearborn High School. There will be other classes following us but we will not be forgotten. We have left behind us a book containing a record of all events of the past year. In future years each page will recall to mind faces and thoughts that have slowly slipped away. Because of war restrictions on various materials the annual of this year probably took more time in planning and anticipating than the other Pioneers to this date. The members of the senior class who have put forth their effort to produce the 1943 Pioneer will now be rewarded in the satisfaction and enjoyment of the following pages. $member the anxious waiting for the rtain to rise on the thrilling drama of � play season? Remember the formal dances with the victory corsages and gala decorations? Remember the informal initiations where proposals of marriage and chewing tobacco were a common sight? nember how by the last year you jy got to know your teachers and found were nice people after all? I ember the long hours you put in t those A's (?) on your report card? Remember the gray hairs you acquired worrying over the financial end of your yearbook? 3 PRIN. OTTD H. OLSEN In spite of the numerous difficulties which arose from overcrowded condi- tions and scarcity of materials, as well as a depleted faculty, Prin. Otto H. Olsen has endeavored to make our high school life as normal and pleas- ant as possible in these war years. For this effort, he earns our gratitude. A graduate of Central State Teach- ers' College, Mr. Olsen received his Master's Degree from the University of Wisconsin. Coming to Dearborn from Reed City, Michigan, in 1936, Prin. Olsen assumed his present office. SUPT. RAY H. ARAM! Supt. Ray H. Adams has continue! to give unending service to the schoj and community, in spite of the tryinj conditions of the times. Although finJ ing teachers to fill vacancies creata by the war effort, and securing su| plies and materials has become i$ creasingly difficult, Supt. Adams ha proved his ability by maintaining tn school's high scholastic rating and fin reputation under the additional bu; dens of overcrowded conditions an uncertain future. BOARD OF EDUCATION Paul D. Cahow, President; Robert Shoens, Vice President; Roy D. Renton, Secretar Fred J. Jolly, Treasurer; Harry Fenske, Trustee. 4 The Senior Class of '43 pre- sents the following pictures in the hope of prolonging pleasant memories of our class and fac- ulty. As you look at each pic- ture and chuckle, recalling each one's faults and peculiarities, keep a kind heart—be sure to remember their virtues, too. As you glance through the faculty's pictures, remember—it's the bite and not the bark that really counts. It is our hope that this Pioneer is a true picture of life at Dear- born High School. If you remem- ber the furrowed senior brows during the year, you know we tried. We hope we have suc- ceeded. d DEARBORN HIG Leo Alilunas Kale Anderson Wahl Marjorie Avalon Lee Bartlett Erdine Baumann Amy Betts Marian Carson Dean Challis Jessie Church John Dalrymple Doris Doolittle Harry Duke Margaret Gardner Gordon Grant Russell Gwinnell Floyd Haight Mary Haight Louise Hainline Ford Haskins Elmer Hess Jane Hicks Betty Ives Edythe Brenner Johnson Warren Ketcham Amanda Koehler Susie Lewis Mildred Manning 6 C H D D L FACULTY Frank McIntyre Mildred Mitchell Phebe Mitchell Rachel Morris Audrey Muller Harold Myler Marian Nims Evelyn Pugh Jack Rabe Clifford Reincke Josephine Renski Ruth Reynolds Mabel Rider Clyde Roberts Marion Russell Eileen Simpson Willard Thornley Harold VandenBosch Stephen Vanek Hope van Landegend Anna von Tobel Leith Wetzel Helene Wilson Leon Wolcott Muriel Wolkins Delia Woodhuli Anne Zanolll No Pictures For: Ellis Martin, Lucie Thomas, lames Scott. 7 Baumann, Oliver -Commercial Club, German Club.

Of course, many things were altered by the chaotic world conditions. With transportation difficult, the increasing scarcity of certain materials, and a gen- eral reduction in the amount spent for selfish amusement, social events became more func- tional and excessive expendi- tures for decorations, tickets, and programs were curtailed. Benefit dances were held for service men and 'Warsages'' were in evidence at many eve- ning gatherings. The social training gained from these experiences, as well as the poise and responsibility they developed, make them a valuable part of education, and serve to supplement the purely academic side of high school life. l ememLr . . . THE SERAP DRIVE Remember ... the hectic weeks of rationing when lost citizens strolled through the corridors and teach- ers grappled with complicated rationing problems in their service to the war effort. .(1). .our snappy! flag-swinging majorettes leading the band down the field at the half of a hard-fought football game . .(2). .and how could anyone forget the enormous1 piles of scrap on the front lawn, and the rivalry be- tween teams which resulted in a senior-sophomore victory?.. (3). Remember the Service Flag in the main lobby, which grew by leaps and bounds, here displayed by Marilyn Miller and John Houston. .(4) . .and students' first aid classes which aided na- tional defense by training many for emergency service, under the direction of Mrs. Betty Ives, school nurse. .(5). Events like these made every student realize that he was part of a new era, and stimulated the first serious thoughts concerning the war. 22 EHVICE FLAG, AND RATIONING 23 l emember ...THE BAND, 24 Remember . . . the spring band concert—the Rec Cross Assembly at the Calvin Theater last fall foi the Scrap Drive—and the music for the draftees-] the strutting majorettes who proudly led the band as they marched through complicated formations a! the half of football games—and the snappy orange and black uniforms in which the band marched, These are but a few of the activities and memories stimulated by the band this year. Remember . . . the orchestra's smooth strains at plays, graduation exercises and Christmas Program —the chorus at the unforgettable Messiah. This hai been a busy and successful year for the Music dd partment, which is under the able direction of Mr. Elmer Hess. The additional burdens of doing the work formerly handled by two teachers, Mr. Ketch- am and Mr. Rider, who are both in the service of the nation's armed forces, add to the credit deserved by our new music director. HDHUS AND DHCHESTHA 25 Remember SENIOR PRDM, Remember... the numerous dances in the 1942-43 social season? They ran the gauntlet from the very formal Senior Prom to the well-attended matinee dances, at which jive addicts had their fling. Due to war conditions decorations at all dances were curtailed, but necessity proved to be the true mother of invention, and many ingenious ideas were carried out. Because of difficulties in trans- portation, the J-Hop of the class of '44 differed from last year's by being held in the school auditorium. Popular local dance orchestras furnished music at many dances, while at others, tunes of national dance idols poured from the nickleodeon to delight couples on the crowded floor. 1. The annual J-Hop. Notice the decorative palms behind the band. This dance was particularly outstanding because of unique decorations. 2. This picture was snapped at one of the matinee dances. The Activity Board made it a policy to hold one after- school dance per week. 3. A snapshot of the Annual D, sponsored by the Varsity Club. 4. One of the senior record dances. Take a glimpse at that look of peaceful bliss on Bob Hix's face. 5. Another picture of the Annual D showing three football stars and their dancing partners. Guess who they are. 6. Margaret Wallace and Bob Gregory seemed to be enjoying themselves when this shot was taken. Who's Frank Abar dancing with? 7. A snap of the Grandstand Stomp sponsored by the Hi-Y Club. 26 -HOP A IV D MATINEES 27 Remember S. SEVEN SISTERS, Remember . . . Seven Sisters, the fall all-schoolj play; Mumbo Jumbo, given by the English Clubs;] and Ever Since Eve, spring all-school play. These! productions were the high points of the 1942-43 dramatic season. Seven Sisters, with Harriet An] derson and Jack Beauchamp provided unique] entertainment because of unusual setting and cosh turning. The melodrama, Mumbo Jumbo, which] featured Jack Hamilton, Betty Jo McGuire, and Tom Dore in leading roles, afforded thrills as well as laughs to a receptive audience. Miss Delia Wood- hull and Miss Margaret Gardner directed the play. The high school comedy, Ever Since Eve, was dis] tinguished by having the leading parts double cast., Bill Mara and Tom Lindenmuth shared the maid lead, playing opposite Marilyn Ford and Joan’ Southard. Miss Jessie Church can be credited; with the success of both all-school plays. Her direc-i tion was supplemented by the efforts of the play production classes, Miss Marian Carson and her art classes, and the Service Club. 1. A brilliantly costumed scene from Seven Sisters.'' Notice] Lee Beck's mournful expression in his suit of armor, and] Roy Bradstrum's scepter, crown, and mustache. An exciting scene from Mumbo Jumbo, in which Rod- ney Linton and Margaret Eschbach, as the sheriffs of two neighboring counties, decide under whose jurisdiction the recently committed murder falls. Bob Taylor is the victim in this backstage scene preceding! the production of Seven Sisters. Marjorie Clay as the mother, and Roger Harvey as her daughter's fiance, in His First Dress Suit, a play pre-i sented at assembly by Play Production classes. And here's John Houston in His First Dress Suit. Ben Holder and Miss Church discuss the setting of Severa Sisters. 2. 3.

The key agency in generating more school spirit is the School Council. As a class A school Dearborn has come up every year with a better than average team in all competitive sports. Dearborn is in the Twin Valley Athletic Association which in- cludes Wayne, Plymouth, Ecorse, River Rouge, and Ypsi- lanti. Even though school buses could not be used this year be- cause of gas rationing, our ath- letes have, by one way or another, arranged to get to the different towns to engage in sports. The girls participate in intra- mural sports only. Their most important sports are field hock- ey, basketball, and baseball. New baskets have been placed in the auditorium so the girls may have their own basketball floor. Gym classes, under the direc- tion of Mr. McIntyre, have reor- ganized as part of the war effort. Every boy and girl, unless proved physically unfit, takes gym five hours a week. d I emember . . . D U R TURF The Pioneer football team tied for the Twin Valley title with Ecorse. Last year it was a three-way tie. Mr. Rabe found a new, hard driving back in Jack Walsh. Because of a shoulder injury Jack was un- able to pass the ball during the Ecorse game which had a lot to do with our one and only loss. Of our eight opponents only Ecorse, Ypsilanti and Birmingham were able to score against our team Bill Clements, right guard, was chosen the mos valuable player because of his hard tackling and superb offensive play. Dwain Wagner was choseij captain. Our forward wall averaged 185 lbs., which is ex tremely heavy for a high school squad. Scores: We They Birmingham 20 6 Melvindale 13 0 Plymouth 13 0 Lincoln Park 20 0 Wayne 7 0 Ecorse 0 13 Ypsilanti 20 6 East Detroit 13 0 32 R I U M P H S . . .

After beating them by a tight game of 31-30, we lost Wiseley, Linton, Gregory and Wagner in the January graduating class. Then the Red Raiders proved too much for us in the next con- test to beat us by a score of 36-25. All told we lost but three games while winning nine. In the regionals held at Fordson High we picked Ford Trade School for our first game and beat them 23-18, only to lose to Ann Arbor in our last game 36-27. Fordson then played them in the playoff and Ann Arbor took the regional crown 36-22. Bob Gregory was first semester captain and Doane Chaddock took over for the last semester. Bob Hix has been chosen for next year's captain.

THE CAMERA CATCHES HEARBORN ATHLETES IIV ACTIUN . . . 37 }fs.emem.l er ... TRACK. ..TE Remember the 1943 track season? The defending T.V.A. League champions had lost several of their veterans due to graduation, but they still had many good runners, and a wealth of new boys showed much promise. Remember how the tennis team survived the diffi- culties of World War II? Despite priorities affecting the rubber supply, both balls and sneakers were j available. Due to transportation barriers, the T.V.A.! League was abolished. Tennis matches included: Ford Trade, Ann Arbor, Ypsi, and River Rouge. Remember how the Cross Country team won the T.V.A. League Meet? Led by Captain Harold Deni- son, the harriers terminated a successful season when they galloped home with the league cham- pionship at Ypsi on October 31. Their schedule was: Birmingham here, lost 32-25; Ypsi there, won 21-40; Lincoln Park there, lost 30-28; River Rouge here, won 16-45; Wayne here, won 23- 35. State Meet, Ypsi, 8th place; League Meet, Ypsi, 1st place. With many veterans returning, the Baseball team looked ahead to a successful season. The team's schedule included games with Ecorse, River Rouge, Plymouth, and Wayne. 38 S...CROSS COUNTRY...

Jack was expected to contribute much to this year's team. Fred Filer clears the bamboo rod in the pole vault. Dearborn was weak in this event last year, but Fred is hoping to remedy the situation. Cross-country Captain Harold Denison races along the last stretch of the two-mile course followed by Thomas of Wayne. Two miles is an awful long way to run as can be seen by the strained look on Harold's face. Roger Harvey practices a back-hand volley. Roger was a good doubles” man. Bob Hix and Scott McCleary break the tape in the hundred-yard dash. Bob was a veteran of last year, while Scott was a newcomer with plenty of fire and promise. IS O D CROSS COUNTRY 41 t ememLer D U H Remember . . . the six-man field hockey teams that were formed this year because girls' inter- scholastic sports were eliminated? Teams consisted of three girls in the line, one halfback, one fullback, and a goalie. Pat Peitz's and Catherine Houston's teams were tied during the entire season. In the championship game Pat's team lost to Catherine's team by one point. After the game, Mrs. Russell had a supper for the two teams at her home. Remember . . . the new baskets that were put in the auditorium to make it possible for girls to play basketball without interfering with boys' practices?: Every grade had two teams, each composed of 10 girls. The players were chosen after tryouts were held for a week. Girls not on the class teams played in a mixed league. The seniors and sophomores were tied from the first round until the last when the seniors lost to the juniors and the sophomores took the champion-i ship.

More time on the part ol the instructors was taken, consequently all extra curricular sports activities were handled by thi Girls' Athletic Association. Ping pong, badmintd baseball and bowling tournaments were the mol important sports. Baseball was patterned after basketball in th j each class had two varsity teams. Interest in pinj pong and badminton definitely increased with i and 45 girls participating in each respectively. Marie Manco captained the winning bowlini team of Margaret Berggren, Hermina Paeschke Marcelaine Pearce, Faye Kloenhamer, and Mar garet Bullock and they received the awards at thi third annual banquet held at Brierdene's. Gym classes were organized with 12 minutes day and one hour a week devoted to calisthenid Obstacle courses, hikes of two miles, and relays I various types accounted for the remainder of thi period. 44 I N T D N AND PING PDNG Cathy Houston competing in badminton.

How can you forget the many posters which lined the halls and stairways from September to June? The sponsors of these activities were the organized language, sports, Red Cross, and Christian groups of the school. In this war year, every club has sponsored at least one project contributing directly to the war effort, aside from their regular functions. Banded to- gether in a common interest, these groups offer extra-curricu- lar activities, both social and academic. Supplementing the more formal education and rounding out high school life, the clubs have completely ful- filled their promise. -K OBSERVER 1ST HOW—M. Miller—Ass'l Ed., H. Hosmer—Ed., H.

S.'s weekly publication was continued under difficulty in this war year. Due to inability to print The Observer as a unit, it was posted in the main lobby. Overlooking the disadvantages, this method had the advantage of news being published as it occured, instead of collecting until printing time. Under the able advisership of Ellis R. Martin, The Observer has proved itself invincible. Remember the All-School Play, '43, pep rallies, cheerleaders, and war stamp blackout days? Re- member, too, the All-School Mixer, Red Cross Ben- efit of '42, juke box dances during lunch hours of '41-'42, and the fun every one had working cross- word puzzles in the library? The Service Club deserves credit for them all. The club has been under the leadership of Mr. VandenBosch, and the Misses M. Mitchell and Hicks, since Sept. '41, when it was chartered to foster school spirit and render service. Truly a ''service'' club, it has had but one outing for its members, a picnic at Rouge Park in the spring of '42. 48 THE HANGING OBSERVER THE SUSPENSE OF ELEETIDN DAY! l GWiefVlher Activity Tickets ... those little white pieces of cardboard which admitted you to the football and basketball games, class dances and parties, All-School mixers and plays, matinee dances, and almost anything which took place in this good old high school... six dollars worth for only two ... Godsend to hard-pressed, limp bill- folds? Activity Board, we thank you! The Board was established in '39 and is made up of Mr. Reincke, Miss P. Mitchell, Miss Reynolds and one student member elected from each class by their fellow classmates. Remember the evening sessions of the Senate when student affairs were discussed: when the Senators debated on club initiations and finally handed down the decision that hereafter informal initiations should be of a more conservative na- ture—putting an end to the rouge and lipstick— garlic and perfume for boys—and many peculiar innovations and stunts that girls had been sub- jected to? Remember the dances promoted by the council, especially the Homecoming Dance, when Wayne High students were our guests? Remember how in spring the politicians came out to mount the stump to campaign for election? The halls were filled with posters and we stood in long lines to vote for next year's leaders who will carry on. -K ACTIVITY BOARD 1ST ROW—J. Wesner, R. Aus- tin, D. Boor, H. Fenske, B. Bristol, E.

You had a good time wearing those sailor, hats and falling overboard. It was an annual dance sponsored by the Sr. Girl Reserves. You won't forget, girls, the party and hayride you had with the HiY's as guests. You helped the war program also, making bandages, joke scrapbooks, and donations to the Red Cross. You followed your theme Forward Today For the Future under the sponsorship of Miss Phebe Mitchell. Remember the novel Lemon-aid Dance spon- sored by the Jr. Girl Reserves? Its lemon shaped posters and clever decorations netted fifty dollars for the Servicemen's Club of Dearborn. Remem- ber, too, the button drive and the projects under- taken by the club for the Red Cross and Visiting Nurses Association. These peppy freshmen and sophomore girls, sponsored by Mrs. Muller and Miss Gardner, have a reputation for doing a bang- up job of whatever they undertake. SR. GIRL RESERVES 1ST ROW—I. Gottman, V.

The club is under the supervision of Mrs. Mor- ris and Mrs. Wahl. 51 DDR PART IN THE WAR l efVienibcr the bowling bees every Tues- day night—and those discouraging low scores, those definitely surprising high games? Remem- ber the annual G.A.A. banquet when Cathy Hous- ton's hockey team received awards, and several of the girls received D's for having high point averages in athletic activities? The group is di- rected by Mrs. Marion Russell. Requirements for membership include loyalty, honor, and good sportsmanship. Remember the ambitious lads who pulled old car bodies out of the Rouge River for their class scrap pile, (seniors-sophomores won) and students struggling to their first hour classes under piles of Reader's Digests? Remember too, the ash tray collection and knitting squares for afghans? The teachers couldn't say much about students knit- ting during classes for fear of being accused of sabotage. The Jr. Red Cross Council sponsored these drives. The Council was formed here in '42, and is under the leadership of Miss Marian Nims. Remember The Runaways of St. Agil, the movie everyone (including French students) under- stood only by reading the English captions? And remember Mr. Martin's amusing talk on his trip through France at the First Annual French Ban- quet? It was the result of the French Club's hard work. La Societe was begun in '41, succeeding an earlier club which died in '39. Its aims are to further interest in French and to give students a wider knowledge of customs and way of life of the French people. -x G.A.A. 1ST ROW—V. Abbott, M. Ad ams, S. Walborn, I. Milne. C.

The Pioneer Chapter of the Hi Y which rep- resents the Young Men's Christian Association in Dearborn High, was reorganized under the direc- tion of Mr. Charles Wesley in 1942, and later Mr. Alfred Ballentine became their sponsor. They were responsible for the Grandstand Stomp and the 'Shoe Shortage Shuffle, presented this year. The club's membership numbers thirty boys. Remember those gay weeks of Varsity Club initiations? The club is made up of varsity letter men who have earned a major letter in basketball, football, baseball, cross-country, track, and tennis. They sponsor during the year the semi-formal An- nual D, the sale of tickets for all home football and basketball games. Led by their president and sponsor, Mr. James Scott, the club had a member- ship of 25 boys this year, the largest the club has ever had. Their two informal initiations are held every winter and spring and provide amusement throughout the school. INITIATIONS! THOSE SEMPER FIDELIS 1ST ROW—S. Black, C. Otis B. J. McGuire, B. Stuart, M.

Alien f emhow the members of the Sem- per Fidelis, by playing games with a Latin basis, seeing slide pictures of Roman ruins, and partici- pating in Latin plays, not only gained valuable classical background, but also had a highly inter- esting and amusing time doing so? Under the guidance of the Misses von Tobel and van Landegend, a number of outside activi- ties were included: a joint Christmas party with the Junior Classical League, in which they presented the Roman play Saturnalia, a Roman style show complete with narrator and authentic costumes, presented at D.H.S. and also at the April meeting of the Junior Classical League Institute, which in- cluded schools of District I of the M.E.A. Remember the quotation The members of the Junior Classical League covenant to hand on the torch of classical civilization in the modern world,' which serves to explain the purpose of the Junior Classical League, whose sponsor is Miss Wilson? Since a majority of the members were study- ing Vergil, they wrote, directed, and performed two English plays based on the Aeneid. The final performance was given at the April meeting of the Junior Classical League Institute. A jentaculum (breakfast) and two prandic (luncheons) gladdened the hearts and filled the stomachs of the members during the second se- mester. 54 ROMAN COSTUME BANQUETS OUR ACCOMPLISHED LINGUISTS WGItiernbeP the Hallowe'en Costume Ball, which the Jr. English Club sponsored, and the prizes for the funniest and most original costumes ... the Christmas party at which the new members were initiated . . . the work with the Sr. English Club in Mumbo Jumbo?

That assembly was truly representative of the Spanish Club's interests, and was equally entertaining for the entire student body. Remem- ber, too, the work and time it took to organize the Spanish Club, making it the only new club of the year. Those long debates on a suitable name, El Ateneo Espanol finally winning out . . . Miss Wil- son's talk on Mexico and the pictures she showed . . . and the Book and Magazine Drive in March were only a few of the activities which made the club's first year both pleasant and successful. Remember the strains of the song Ich Weisz Nicht Was Soil Es Bedeuten. . . from Die Lore- lei that poured forth through the closed doors of Room 310, home of the German Club? Remember how members of the German Club spoke of Mr. Bartlett's interesting talk about his trip to Germany in the summer of 1936? Members of the club, under the sponsorship of Miss von Tobel spoke broad-mindedly about the German language and people. Some of them may be in Germany after the war helping bring about a democratic peace among European na- tions. With this point of view their study of the German language holds a significant meaning. ■H JR. ENGLISH CLUB 1ST ROW—F. Gamble, B. Ar- rants, R. Williams—Treas., H. fenske—V.P., C. Houston- Pres., D.
