As is true of most freshman classes, we took many things for granted and certainly found out, to our sorrow, that that is the wrong attitude. During that school year our class con- tributed Bob Stephens and Harry Nederlander to the Middler football, baseball, and basketball teams of that year and was the only undefeat- ed team in the school. Howard Crawford received his letter for varsity football. The following year the class returned intact. Howard Crawford again received his letter for football, being a great help to the team. The basketball team received a serious blow when Robert Harris broke his ankle in the Hudson gameg but, nevertheless, the team continued to fight and won its share of games. One of our members, Harry Ned- erlander, was high point man for the squad that year. In baseball, Bob Stephens played second base and Harry N ederlander shortstop regu- larly. On Commencement day Bob Stephens and Harry Nederlander received honors in Scholarship. In the fall of 1932 our group came back to the school without loss in numbers, except that we missed Bob Stephens and added George Gagnier and Burnette Stephenson. The latter two proved very valu- able to the football team as well as strong assets to the school. Craw- ford played well in the line, while Nederlander managed to squeeze through with a letter. The basketball season was fairly successful, partly because of the excellent playing of Burnette Stephenson and Harry Nederlander. The highlight of the season occurred at Cran- brook, when our boys came within one point of defeating the highly touted five from Bloomfield. When spring rolled around, the baseball prospects were not very bright, but the steady playing on the part of George Gagnier, Burnette Stephenson, and Harry Nederlander inspir- ed the rest of the team, and, as a result, we had a very successful sea- son. As a matter of information, Howard Crawford was elected cap- tain of the football team: Harry Nederlander, the basketball team, and George Gagnier the baseball team. This year Howard Crawford and Harry Nederlander received scholastic honors. September 1933! Seniors, at last! And, boy, it's not bad at all. The class returned for the third time since its entrance without a loss in membership.

The football season was quite successful, a large part of which success can be. attributed to the fine playing of George Gag- nier, Captain Crawford, Burnette Stephenson, and Harry Nederland- er. As has been true in previous years, the outstanding date on the football schedule was the D. U. S. game, which, for the third consecu- tive year, ended in a scoreless tie. The basketball team had just a fair season, the brightest spot on the schedule being the defeat that we in- flicted on the very strong Lake View aggregation. For the first time in the history of the school, a dance was given by the seniors. This event was held at the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club and proved to be a very successful affair. We, the class of 1934, sin- cerely hope that this event may become a tradition of the school. J une-examinations, commencement, diplomas, and we're all through! We have our regrets in leaving the old familiar scenes, but We look forward to the new places with confidence and assurance. ooogfoo wig llrwszkljstwlrwltwlll AseXllsrS!,l:e!jeMjs:!l115 l1eSU1rX!l1Mj1M1:MjlrB11eB!24nX!1sr3!jffX!!feklI-ex Page Twenty-four
