Dearborn High School - Pioneer Yearbook (Dearborn, MI)

Text from Pages 1 - 122 of the 1956 volume:

Dearborn High School... an automobile .. . totally different and yet strikingly similar ... the Pioneer staff chose for its theme the comparison of the school to a car for several reasons . . . one of them being that in this way we can give a salute to Dearborn, the city of automobiles . . . another being that we can salute our school which is in its closing days as a high school ... a third reason being that by use of this theme we can salute each important factor and phase of school life ... the faculty, like the steering mechanism of a car, guides and directs . . . the clubs and activities, like the engine and accelerator, provide power . . . sports, like the wheels, supply motion . . . the underclassmen, like the frame of an auto, support the structure of the school . . . and the seniors, like the headlights, search the road ahead . . . With this explanation we invite you to read and enjoy the 1956 Pioneer . . . 5 Here they are . . . our faculty whom we can liken to that intricate mechanism of a car, the steering gear . . . they serve as guides seeking to equip us with the proper facilities so that we may be better qualified to steer our own courses . . . we thank them for using their advanced education and knowledge of our personalities to channel each of us to a suc- cessful life . . . We Salute Our Administration And Counselors, Mr. Olsen For the past 21 years Mr. Otto Olsen has been the principal at Dearborn High School. He earned his A.B. at Central Michi- gan Teachers College and received his M.A. at the University of Wisconsin where he majored in school administration. As principal, Mr. Olsen feels his most important duty is the supervision of instruction within the school. Mr. Olsen is the chairman of the General Planning Commit- tee for the new Dearborn High School. It is the job of his committee to determine the necessities of a new high school such as educational programs, types of equipment, and sizes of rooms. Miss Betts Miss Amy Betts has watched the school grow from 65 to 1800 and has always noticed the fine relationship between the students and teachers. This is something you don't find in every school, commented Miss Betts. Miss Betts arrived at Dearborn in 1919. Her career at DHS began by teaching mathematics and has progressed to her present position as assistant principal in charge of scheduling. She acquired her B.A. at Hillsdale and her M.A. degree at University of Michigan. Mr. Challis Mr. Dean Challis arrived at Dearborn High in 1934 and has since become the assistant principal in charge of attendance. He received his B.A. at Michigan State Normal College and his M.A. at the Univer- sity of Michigan. Before becoming assistant principal, Mr. Challis taught physics, science, and photography. He presently sponsors the Student Council and the hall monitors. When the new Dearborn High is completed, Mr. Challis will assume there his present position at DHS. 8 Mr. Anderson Mr. Rex Anderson is now counseling both June graduates and sophomores. He received his A.B. from Alma College and is presently working for his Master's degree which he will receive in June from the University of Michigan. Before coming to Dearborn High, Mr. Anderson taught at Manistee where he was head football coach. During his seventeen years at DHS he has taught shop and coached sports of which football is his favorite. For relaxation Mr. Anderson enjoys an occasional' day of trout fishing. Mr. Hamilton Mr. Garold Hamilton arrived at Dearborn fifteen years ago after receiving his A.B. and M.A. degrees from the University of Michigan. By traveling with a dance band around the country, Mr. Hamilton was able to work his way through college. He still loves music and considers almost any kind of music worth listening to. Mr. Hamilton is presently teaching world history and offering his advice to the June graduates and the new sophomores. Who Steered Us Skillfully Toward Our Goals Miss Guldner Miss Yetieve Guldner, the counselor for the Jan- uary graduates, earned her Bachelors and Masters degrees at the University of Kansas and Michigan State University, respectively. Miss Guldner has had a long and full teaching career. It began at a country school in Pratt, Kan- sas, and later she moved to Lawrence, Kansas. The classes she has taught at Dearborn High include American and world history, reading, and civics. 9 . .. Our Teachers Of English And Foreign Language, Jan Hicks Foreign Language A.B.

Schuchard, Exchange Students Lulu Unnbom Margret Schuchard, Dearborn High's German exchange student arrived in America last summer. She previously attended Wilhelm-Raabe-Schule, Dearborn's sister school in Lueneburg, Germany. The State Department sponsored her trip. Margret's activities at school have included Record Review, Student Council, and Driver Education. She is interested in literature, music, and many other hobbies. Margret lived with two families while attending Dearborn High. During the first semester she lived at the home of another student, Renie Levitte, and the second semester was spent in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Kehl. Since her home in Germany is strategically located near the Iron Curtain, Margret has insight into the two kinds of government, democracy and dictatorship. On this subject she stated, I like being in the United States because I can study your Democratic theory, which is held as an ideal for the world. American Field Service sponsored Lulu Unnbom's trip to Dearborn from her home in Vaasa, Finland. At her school in Finland, Svenska Flicklyceet, Lulu enjoyed taking a variety of subjects such as English and several other languages, which have helped her in traveling. Lulu plays the piano and guitar, and has entertained at various meetings and school assemblies with her musical ability. Because of her interesting life in Finland, Lulu has also been guest speaker at the meetings of various organizations in the Detroit area. Student Council, Y-Teens, Choir and several other clubs constitute Lulu's extra-curricular activities. Lulu s American family, Mr. and Mrs. Esch, had previous experiences with exchange students, for their daughter, Doris, spent the sum- mer of 1954 in Europe under a similar program. When asked for an opinion of America, Lulu replied, I like the people best. I think you are so wonderful and so friendly.'

Chapel Services, once held only before Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter, became so popular two years ago that they were held weekly. This custom has continued with a service being presented each Wednesday morning in the First Presbyterian Church by the members of Dearborn High's Hi-Y and Y-Teen chapters. Each week different students present the opening and closing prayers, the scriptures, and the sermon. These nondenominational services are open to all, and they continue to be carried out enthusiastically and with respect. Special music is provided by the music department of our school and adds to the relligious atmosphere. The services are held to promote a Christian spirit in school life. Hi-Y members help to make up the John Behan and Donna Lossing par- congregation. ticipate in one of the weekly services. Students leave chapel to reach homerooms on time each Wednesday. 41 Record Review, Forensic Society Promote Hobbies Record Review Record Review is an organization of students interested in music.

Un- der the leadership of the new varsity coach, Harold Manley, the locals toppled River Rouge, 14-6, and Ecorse, 14-12, in succession. Gaining experience for the team, if not many wins, Bob Livingston and Bob Pond captained the squad to three victories which were overshadowed by six defeats. John Covert, guard, was elected to a first berth on the all-city squad by one of the Dearborn newspapers. Craig VanSciever's quarterbacking netted the Pioneers an average of 6.6 yards per attempt. At their end-of-the-season ban- quet at the Colonial House the Pioneers elected Doug Coats and Gary Jennings to lead the '56 team. More promising was the winning season garnered by the reserves. Captained by center Jere Chapman, they defeated Hamtramck, Lincoln Park, Melvindale, and Wayne. They also tied Edsel Ford and River Rouge. Ecorse and Catholic Cen- tral took the only games from the reserves. Jim Collier, half- back, scored 24 points, and Fred Mitchell, playing tackle, received the most valuable reserve player award.

Under Evelyn's leadership Barbara Andrzejewski, Carolyn Borth, Joyce DeWitt, Carol Ference, Diane Lienau, Barbara Roffina, and Sue Stinson led the cheers at all the football and basketball games. Besides making yell books, the girls put on three pep assemblies and a snake dance for the students. Working hard, the yell leaders made new motions to practically all the cheers besides making up their original Harvard cheer. Another new idea was special pins for each chearleader. Cheerleaders are picked each spring by representatives from all the school clubs and the graduating cheerleaders. The choice is based on ability to cheer, pleasing personality, school spirit, and genuine interest in the position. 52 Homecoming Features Parade, Court, And Dance Homecoming court end escorts: left to right.

Drop- ping their first games to Grosse Pointe and Jackson, Dearborn came home to edge out Ecorse in the final minutes, 55-52. Two weeks later Melvindale took the last minute edge away from the quintet and handed them a 38-42 defeat. Melvindale repeated the feat a month later only by a closer margin, 43-45, mak- ing it Dearborn s seventh defeat in eleven tries. Dearborn pulled three more victories out of their last five games and lost a one-point thriller to Edsel Ford that could have put the Huron-Rouge crown on the Pioneers. This defeat put the locals in a posi- tion where they had to defeat Wayne on March 2 in order to hold on to second place. They did it, but it was a real battle as the score proves, 59-57.

A strong Lincoln Park team proved the big block to the Dearborn team as it defeated the Pioneers twice in the regular season and again in the league meet at Edsel Ford. Dearborn only lost that league meet by a close call in the last event. As a season total coach John Errante led his team to six victories with only four defeats marking the record. Eighteen boys were awarded their varsity letters, and what makes next season look very promising is that ten of the boys will be returning next season to form the nucleus of the 1956-57 Dbrn. 55 Ypsilanti 32 team.

Dearborn had only one returning pitcher to depend on for the Pioneer throwing, that was Craig VanSciever. With the support of captain Brian Bennett's strong hitting the Pioneers started off the season in fine fashion as they downed their first three opponents. As the weather changed in May. so went the Dearborn squad's luck. In between heavy rainstorms, tornadoes and intermittent floodings of Ford Field the Pioneers found a barrier of losses blocking the extension of their win column. This year's squad was predominantly heavy with juniors and sophomores. Coach Schroeter started two new hurlers, sophomores Bob Winkworth and Pat Wyka. Wink- worth dropped his first battle to a strong Cranbrook team, while Wyka saw service mostly as a reliefer. Row I: Geoffrey Williamson. Otto DePaulis. Frank Kutney. Larry Potok. Steve Nash.

Reserves Junior Varsity After the low enlistment of only twenty boys last year, Coach Frank Navarre was surprised when over fifty boys turned out for cross country training last fall. Even more of a surprise was the fact that they came up with one of the few winning sea- sons, four wins,, two defeats, and one tie. To top off their season, the squad came through with a fourth in the regionals and went on to the state meet. Dearborn’s varsity started their season by promptly tromping Edsel Ford and Belle- ville, but were stopped short by a strong Lincoln Park team and Ypsi. They had an unusual lie with the Oaks and rounded off the year with two more victories. Record V. Dbn.

To promote an interest in sports is the ulti- mate purpose of the Girls' Athletic Associa- tion. The GAA is open to any girl in the school if she has a genuine interest in intramural sports and has participated in them. To be- come a member of the GAA. a girl must have earned a certain number of points. To remain a member of the club, she must earn a set num- ber of points each semester. To its members the GAA provides an op- portunity for good sportsmanship, friendli- ness, fellowship, leadership, and health. Team work is developed by field hockey, volleyball, basketball, and baseball, while individual com- petition is acquired in ping pong, badminton, and tennis. By participating in bowling or swimming a girl is enlarging her scope of inter- est. Each semester the club holds a formal initia- tion for the new members. The following week the semi-annual banquet is held, in which the Juniors Loft to right. Row I: Dorothy Zabinski. Barb Roffina, Kay Woodward. Marilyn Craig. Bonita Boky. Row 2: Joyce Beal.

GAA has also sponsored a weekly play- night. a float in the Homecoming parade, and combined with the Booster Club to present the Scarecrow Scamper last fall. Awards range from class numerals to the gold pin. Numerals are presented to anyone having earned 350 points. The next step is the small D , received only after a girl has 750 points. With 1200 points a girl is eligible for a large D . The most sought after and envied award is the gold pin. Only after earn- ing 1600 points, which takes three or four years of hard work, can a girl win it. Highest award in the club is the Dorothy Dickinson Smith Memorial Trophy. This is pre- sented to the outstanding senior girl of GAA after the club has voted by secret ballot.

We. the January class of 1956, have many memories of our years at Dearborn High, from the time all our class arrived at DHS in 1953 to our graduation. Our tenth grade year was filled with fun, English, parties, world history, dances. Our junior year brought the J-Hop, American history, and more parties. We will remember our senior play, Blithe Spirit, our senior girls' Sponge Dance, Pink Mist, and our fun-filled senior year. Jim Healy led our class as president and di- rected preparations for our closing weeks' activi- ties—honors assembly, baccalaureate, the Prom at Lovette Hall, and graduation itself. Senior speakers Mary Ann Konkel, Fran Roach, and Bette Lynn Tomola carried out the theme of the pro- gram, Preparation for Life. Now as alumni we look back on our years at Dearborn High, some of the best of our lives. Ever since our first days at Dearborn High back in 1952 and 1953, preceding classes have been advising us, the June class of 1956, as to the things we should do and say in our closing days at DHS. Acting in our usual fashion, how- ever, we are going to disregard all, and simply reminisce over all the never-to-be-forgotten events of our high school days. It is certain that we shall never forget that first day in the auditorium when Mr. Challis tried to tell us not to be afraid to ask questions of anyone when we got lost. . . then all the crazy answers we received from the upperclassmen when we did find courage enough to ask . . . Andy's study halls, which were always loads of fun, BUT very quiet . . . our first dance in the I OB . . . the inevitable gym classes . . . the tardy slips of pink . .. our J-Hop . . . the parting of the ways with the Edsel Ford half of our class . . . the senior girls' sponge dance, The Silver Bell cCdAA 56, • • Mffft otcC t c € ctCc 2'6,t John Albert Patricia Abar Allmen Allor Track Track Varsity Club Treas.

Lois Kratt kept the minutes of the meetings, while Fran Roach filled the role of treasurer. Vice president, Carole Pietrzyk, took over Jim's duties in his absence. Purpose of the Senior Council is to represent the whole class in planning class activities. They selected the date of the Prom, found a suitable place to hold it, and submitted tentative choices of class colors and songs for their classmates. The class then voted on the proposed selections. In this election silver and blue were selected as the class colors, and Love Is A Many Splendored Thing was chosen as the class song. Council members were chosen in I2A home- rooms in September, with each homeroom elect- ing one representative. The members attended all meetings and reported on any important busi- ness in their homerooms. treasurer January Senior Council Row I: Bette Lynn Tomole.

Elected representatives from the homerooms were Ginny Emmert, Sam Hall, Dottie Lawrence, Patty Sue McGuigan and Bill Sutcliffe from the I2B groups, and Alice Harrison and Barb Roffina from the I IA sections. Faculty advisors Mrs. Johnson, Mr. Lossing, Mr. McIntyre, and Mrs. Watson helped guide the group as they made their plans. It was the job of this Council to act as the motor of the class in encouraging class spirit and interest. The members planned and saw that the plans for the money making project were carried out. They supervised selling at the games by each homeroom and worked out plans for the Senior Prom, June 8. Sue Hanrahan secretary June Senior Council Row I: Sue Hanrahan. Bill Anderson. Adam Hardie.
