KENNETH RYAN BOWDEN ACTIVITIES Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4 Class Vice-Pres. 4 Every week-day morning, near Birmingham, approximately seven miles away from our hallowed halls, an immacu' lately groomed young man carefully carries a note book and a collection of fantastically clean school books out to an equally clean car. He takes a last look at his hair in the rear view mirror, whips out his comb to return a few errant spears into place, and heads for Country Day. No more than seven minutes later this same lad will be in the D.C.D.S. parking lot, and, after again consulting the mirror for any un-groomed locks, heads towards the doors of the fount of knowledge. Of course, the boy is Ken Bowden. Ken's reputation in the fields of dress, orderliness, and driving are well known throughout the school, but he has distinguished himself in other ways. After recovering from a severe attack of polio two summers ago, he has gone on to render yeoman service on the pitching mound for the Country Day nine . His popularity with his classmates is evidenced by his position as Vice-President of the Senior Class. Ken plans to enter General Motors' Technical School in the Fall, and with his qualities of neatness and organization, we know he will go far.

ALAN EDWARD BETHUNE ACTIVITIES Redford High School 1, 2, 3 Baseball 4 Glee Club 4 Honor Society 4 Al is the johnny-comevlately of the senior class, having transferred this year from Redford High School. However, n the short time he has been here at D.C.D., he has proved himself to be an excellent student making the Honor Society throughout the entire year. Al also has had time to participate in extra-curricular activities. He has been 1 big help in the endeavor to form a Glee Club. On the athletic side, Al has been counted upon to provide the baseball :eam with some extra strength. Al is the type of fellow who puts forth the utmost cooperation no matter what the situation. We are sorry that he did not come to D.C.D. sooner, as he undoubtedly would have been a big asset to the vell-being of the class. Al plans to attend Wayne University, where he will study pre-dentistry. We all wish him lots mf luck, knowing that he will succeed in all his hopes. I 3 Say !

PAUL GRAN GER BROWN ELL I ACTIVITIES Football 3, 4 Basketball 3 Baseball 3 Golf 4 Glee Club 4 D-Club 3, 4 Blue and Gold 4 Petey Boy , as he is known amongst us seniors, joined our brotherhood in the sixth grade. Since then Pete has excelled in living it up in the classroom . You can always hear Pete say, Man is this thing undemocratic? , or Boy did I ever get rooked? . Seriously, however, Pete has done quite well in the classroom and equally well on the athletic field. Pete played Varsity football for the past two seasons and proved himself as an invaluable member of the team. He also contributed largely to the efforts of the basketball and baseball teams, winning letters in both sports. One of Pete's favorite hobbies, about which we hear for twelve months of the year, is sailing, and from all indi- cations he is a very adept sailor. He furthers his cause by participating in the Coast Guard Reserve. Pete plans to make his next stop Denison University, where he expects to study pre-medicine. With Pete's very pleasing way and his wholehearted cooperation with his classmates he should be very successful in later years. All right who hocked my glasses Possible? -, 15 -
