We, the members of this yearbook's staff, had not given this problem much thought until we faced the task this year. We found that it took a great deal of ideas, elbow grease, and burning the midnight oil. But in a greater sense it took a lot of working together-the working together of not only the Blue and Gold staff and the Senior class, but also the cooperation of the rest of the student body. We have found this factor, of working together, all important in helping us at those times when everything seems to go amiss and the book appeared to be only a disorganized mass of paper. But all of these hard- ships are forgotten when we realize what we have gained, including the ability to work with one another, to see on-e another's ideas, and to be able to put one's ideas into actions.

In the past forty-four years since 1914 the school has grown from its first humble dwellings in the Ferry Avenue home of its founder and present Headmaster, F. Alden Shaw, to a proposed ultra-modem building on the site of 13 Mile Road and Lahser. The first building, which was known as the Detroit Preparatory School, consisted of four students and one enterprising faculty member, Mr. Shaw, who had a dream. After several years there, the school moved to Euclid Avenue to start its moving career. A disaster then struck the world, World War I. The entire faculty, including Mr. Shaw, joined the armed services to repel the aggressors. After the Armistice, the school completely reorganized and started in Palmer Park, but the sale of this property made it necessary to return to Euclid Avenue. The present location, which was at that time in a very rural district, although it would not seem so now, was acquired in 1923 and at this time the name, The Detroit Country Day School, was adopted. .+ve ' Six DCDS - Ferry Avenue DCDS - Euclid Avenue The present Senior School building was first built, soon afterward, the Junior School portion, and, finally, when applicants exceeded the available facilities, the Primary grades' building was erected. The graduates of Country Day also have to be included in our school's history. Our Alumni and former students are now scattered far and wide through- out the world. We have representatives in most of the major professions, for example, finance, politics, governmental work, industry of all types, sports, radio and television, and medicine and law. Surely, then, this shows the quality of the products of Detroit Country Day better than anything else. Now the ground has been broken, the die has been cast, so to speak. We are now reaching towards the topmost ring in the school's success ladder. By August of this year, the new building will be completed on its thirty-three acre site at the new location. This site holds great promise for almost anything the school wants to do. The present plans include several football and baseball fields, possible skating rinks, and a golf practice range. This could be just the start. The road ahead for Country Day is open and the possibilities are unlimited. We have come a long way since that first building and the future is only limited by our own capacities. lhsignating Future Athletic Fields ' -- N--- '--- ---'--- f DEDICATION 4 As we remember in the past four years at Country Day, Mrs. Jean Remmert Foss has never once declined to help the members of this Senior class or any class, individually or collectively. Her main function in the school is as secretary which takes up most of her time, but whenever a moment is free and any person is in need of help, she is always there. In our Senior year more than in the past her help has been freely given whenever asked for. For this in itself we are forever grateful. This woman also seems to have a never ending storage of energy that keeps her at her duties where others, in our opinion, would stop. We of the Senior class and of The Blue and Gold firmly believe that the school is indeed fortunate in having her as secretary, and for her help to us, diligence in her duties at school, and particu- larly for her qualities as an admirable woman, we are proud to dedicate this edition of The Blue and Gold to Mrs. Jean Remmert Foss. , - 1.2. ..,.ssgv-:.1...-wh..-... -. :.,,1 , ..naLiS.xaz.,4s1.i..,....L... -44 Apfp Xi x5N X MR.

Don was a Co-captain on the football team and has participated in this sport ever since he was in the ninth grade, which was when he came to Country Day. Don's ability in the classroom, though not as well known as his achievements on the gridiron is recognized and respected. Don has helped a lot on the Blue and Gold even though he was not on the permanent staff. Don plans to enter the personnel field and we feel that he has the qualities of tenacity, tolerance, and balance that will carry him far, during and after college.

LAN BRESSLER Seventeen Mike adds the business touch to our class. He has been chosen business manager for the Blue and Gold, editor of the Yellow Jacket, and manager for the teams. These are no small jobs. but he has had time to get his homework done and also to partici- pate in almost all other school activities. He is the one who always says, get the ads , order the hot- dogs, or we can't afford it. Mike plays football, a bruising lineman, and he carries his own weight in basketball and baseball to the delight of the coaches. Mike's organizing ability can be seen by his taking over a sprawling Yellow Jacket Staff and manipulating it into the efficient working organiza- tion that it is today. This ability of Mike's to organize and also to get results will probably help him in his chosen career which is law, We feel that Mike will be a valuable addition to the Uni- versity of Michigan where he has been accepted. If you ever had occasion to wander into the lab at Country Day you might have found a rather tall fellow with horn-rimmed glasses working diligently. This would have to be Arthur Erhard, or, as he is known, '4Art.', Art can always be found in the lab either calculating Young's modulus by experimenta- tion or finding the reciprocal of the trig functions to the base e , Art and his constant companion, his slide rule, are usually to be found at similar tasks. He is the brain', of the class and is always answering the questions which have the rest of us stumped. But he has done more than add his in- tellectual qualitiesg Art has never failed to voice his witty comment at the opportune time. He has been on the Honor Society many times, worked on the Yellow Jacket, was secretary of the Prefect Board, and was elected editor of this yearls Blue and Gold. Art has chosen physics as his preference for a profession and we know that his abilities will prove this to be a wise choice. We are sure that Art will go far at the University of Michigan where he plans to go. Eighteen Activities Golf 4 Blue and Gold - Editor 4 Yellow Jacket 4 Prefect Board 4 D wuts BREAK Tennis anyone? Activities Track 4 Lab Technician 3, 4 Science Club 4 --r' l i Oli Mr. Doe. Nineteen Wally adds the international flavor to the soup, which is our class. He can speak German fluently, having spent two years over there, and his abilities in other languages are well known. He joined our ranks in the tenth grade and since then has proved a welcome addition. Wally is quiet and unassuming, but after being around him for a little while you begin to realize that Wally has an excellent under- standing of almost any subject. From languages to mathematics and from physics to chemistry can be brought forth at almost any given time by Wally in a class discussion on any subject to give it the much needed punch. Wally has the balanced personality that can laugh at anything that is humorous but yet he has the tenacity that makes him finish any task that he starts. This shows that Wally has the per- sonality that is necessary for success in this complex world of ours. Anyone entering Country Day's room 12 is likely to see a rather stout, not too bad looking, chap slouched over his book of Emerson's Essays trying to figure out who said what, and why. This would be a newcomer's first introduction to Bob Foss. Fearless, as he is called in lighter moments, is the kind of person no school can do without, stout as shown by his being a very good tackle on the Country Day Eleven, witty, as shown by his ap- preciation of a good joke, his stocking cap, and his over all disposition, and aggressive by his being head of photography for the Blue and Gold and sports editor for the Yellow Jacket. But in a larger sense he is the back bone of our class. He helps when help is needed, he is a part of almost every activity, yet still finds time for the elbow grease necessary to understand Emerson, Newton, and Kant. Bob will be a helpful and rewarding addition to Albion and we feel he will be a success in his chosen field of chemistry.

' YLORD With a roar, a cloud of smoke, and the squeal of tires, the big, beautiful, red, modified Mercury comes to a graceful halt and out slips Johnny Gay- lord. Johnny's main distinction, interest, and love is his car, be it rain, snow, or sleet the car will be washed, dried, and polished by Johnny himself. Johnny's abilities in other fields, besides autody- namics, are shown by his being circulation man- ager for the Yellow Jacket, a singer with the Glee Club, and his participation in track and baseball. Johnny has always been at odds with his books but he has had enough intestinal fortitude to, not only graduate, but also to win the esteem and respect of his teachers throughout the school. Johnny plans to go to Nichols Academy to study business administration, and we are certain he will be a success with his work. Twenty-one 50W-Q The narrator says, And he rode into the setting sun on his wonder horse, Moose, the curtain de- scends and out steps Bruce Hauser to receive the ovation of the seated multitude. Someone once said There's one in every crowd, and Bruce is the thespian in our crowd. Bruce is not only an actor in our annual play, but he also sings with the Glee Club, runs a little in track, is on the Prefect Board, and is the assistant editor for both the Blue and Gold and the Yellow Jacket. But while doing all this he still finds time to be one of the few senior class representatives on the Honor Society. Bruce plans to be a doctor, so we have heard ever since we can remember, and we feel that Bruce's chance of attaining this goal is excellent. This is because Bruce is not only smart , as has been shown by his membership on the Honor Society, but he has the well rounded personality, which includes being athletic, dramatic, and intellectual, a prerequisite of success in the world of today and tomorrow.

GY MCCARROLL Our class is mainly a sports', class, that is the majority of the class play, or participate in one or more of the leading sports and some in all three major sports. Dave McCarroll is one of the few who has won, or rather has earned, a letter in all three of the major sports. He is captain of the basketball team, a pitcher on the baseball team, and a driving halfback on Country Day's fighting elevenf' Dave is a competitor not only in sports but in anything he does, academic or extra cur- ricular. Dave not only likes sports but he had the necessary elbow grease to get on in his subjects in such a way that he has won the respect of all his friends, which are many. Dave came to Country Day in the eleventh grade and has added his Texas drawl and opinion to our class discussions on any- thing and everything. Dave plans to be an architect and he will, we feel, be a welcome addition to Albion, where he plans to go. Twenty three GARY GBSON lf somebody were to ask, How does it work? , the person to answer before the question stopped vibrat- ing would be Gary. If it moves, Gary usually knows why. This is because Gary, you would say, is inter- ested in motors, in fact, this seems to be his main hobby and interest. His car is a product of this interest-it is a 1953 modified, Kaiser, a real sharp', conveyance. Among other of Gary's likes are both swimming and golf, and these reflect Gary's what you would call, out-door-ness, for Gary likes anything that requires skill and this is what you need to play both golf and swim, and also is one of the basic requirements for taking a part a car. Among the other of Gary's characteristics is his level- headedness or rather his ability not to be swayed by an emotional argument or be carried away by some radical ideas. This gives a general picture of Gary's personality, which could best be described with the word moderation. This is because Gary never does anything too much, as exemplified by his di- versified activities, but hews a line straight down the middle.

SMITH Athletic, witty, and lastly epigrammatistic, all describe Dave Smith. He is one of, if not the, most popular guy in the senior class, and consequently has been chosen class president for the past two years. Smitty's laughter can be heard resounding through the hallowed halls of Country Day in uni- son with all who are around him at any given time, class or no class. But in a larger sense he is a competitor, as seen by his achievements in sports and his participation in various school activities. Dave has played in every major sport, almost every season and consequently received the annual Sports Trophy in his Junior year. In his Senior year he was chosen one of the football co-captains. Even so his golden bass can be heard in harmony in the Glee Club during its aftemoon and evening re- hearsals. Dave is also sports editor for the Blue and Gold and this experience will help him in his chosen field of journalism. The college that Dave chooses will receive a member whom they will be proud and pleased to have in their student body. Twenty-five A SENIOR'S DAY 8:30 finds the seniors en masse discussing the various activities and problems of the world. Upon reaching conclusions to these problems At 9:00 the seniors' first class is Government where learning with a little levity starts a typical day. assembly calls them to join the rest of the school and take part in the morning exercises. Twenty-six 10:30 is reached and an appreci- ated breather of 15 minutes is given for those who wish a little refreshment to sustain them until lunch. After munching At 9:45 the Seniors proceed to Physics where many interesting and informal discussions take place, and demonstrations of scientific phenomenon, prevalent in everyday life, are given daily. Twenty-seven on crackers, the Seniors go to English where grammar and English literature is taught with a Parisian flavor. After a mad dash through the school, Spanish class is reached, and for forty- five minutes el espanol is the ruler. while the rest of the Seniors, with courage and determination in their hearts walk into the den of advanced math. After Spanish, at 12:15, those who are not taking advanced math go to join some underclass- men for a period of genial study, Twenty-eight IHFECY SAKETV IECOID 1:00 sees the upper school, after a long tedious day of learning, getting nourishment deliciously prepared by the kitchen staff. 1:30 brings the Seniors fighting to get off school grounds for a breath of fresh air.

Thirty-one CLASS PROPHECY Editors note: While doing an unauthorized experiment the 12th grade physics class lost Tommy Doe in the 4th dimension and he came back before the experiment began with a New York Times Sunday Supplement dated June 14, 1967 and an article in it entitled, The Story That Couldn't Be Printedu, read as follows: The news went out three weeks ago, the situa- tion was bad, what could we have done? The Attack was evident. The whole world was in danger and for the first time all men worked together for the common goal of defeating The Attack. To go back for a moment for the history of this fateful hour in the history of man, we must start one year from today, June 14, 1967, to the time when life was first discovered on the moon and as the days went on it became evident that this life was capable of reason and that it was more intelligent than man for it was building what we would call a space gun aimed at the earth. What this moon life was planning was all too evident, for along with the gun, cataclysmic in dimensions, there were also evidences of space platforms capable of launching crafts at the earth. This is how it stood until a few days ago when it looked as if the construction was done and the moon-men would start launching missiles at the earth and send crafts carrying invaders. All looked dark until an aged, ex-educator from the West Coast came up with the idea that in order 'to solve this problem of defeating The Attack one would have to get together a group of the finest Thirty-two intellects in the world and give to their disposal all the facilities and resources that the world could offer. According to this same distinguished man the only group with these qualifications were, to his knowledge, the now legendary class of 1957 of Detroit Country Day School, where, incidently he had been headmaster until his retirement when he had moved to the West Coast to look for Uranium. The call went out all over the world, from Pakistan to Nairobi, from Lapland to Timbuck- too, the call was, Find the class of '57. The clues came in slowly at first, an empty beer bottle, a slide rule, and lastly the back right wheel skirt from a big, red car. From these few clues the F.B.I., the M.V.D., and the J.S.D., narrowed the search of three of the grads down until they located these first remnants of the illustrious ten. The empty beer can belonged to none other than Gary Rosenberger who, contrary to popular belief wasn't indulging on the side, but was doing research work at G.M.I. into the origin and characteristics of the collidal suspension of air in beer foam - a defense project. Gary was immediately taken off this project and put on the all important project of destroying the Moon Men as they had come to be called. The slide rule belonged to Dave Smith who was found at Monte Carlo trying to beat the roulette wheel. He started to work on the Moon Men with Gary. The right, rear, red skirt belonged to Wally Fengler who was grand Prix winner but was out of commission for the rest of this trying ordeal because he had been, not in an accident with his high powered Mercedes, but bitten by a mad dog, never fear he will recover. There, it seemed, was a dead end. Where were they? was asked all over the world. Then it came, the clue that broke the case a little further. Among the effects of Wally Fengler was found a small Black Book, and according to the inspec- tor from Scotland Yard, Wally Fengler was run- ning a numbers racket on the side, and in the book it was found the address of a certain J. H. This turned out to be none other than John Bruce Hauser, once world famous brain surgeon but now forgotten because his theory of the origin of the species being an ape was too far fetched. Bruce was found living in his laboratory working on his theories and he was persuaded to work on defeating The Attack with the other two of the elite. Here again the stone wall of ignorance was met and surpassed and the name and address of one more of the illustrious ten. It was Dave McCarroll. Upon graduation from Annapolis he had resigned and joined his brother in the Marines and had risen to the rank of Corporal with his brother's help, who was, in- cidently, an eight-star general. He was immediate- ly relieved of command and was put on the project of defeating The Attack which was getting closer every hour. The next Country Day Grad to be found was Bob Foss. After his graduation from Albion he had gone to the Olympics and won all the honors possible. He then went on to become a professional bouncer at the Flame Show Bar. Upon being asked to join the project he agreed because there was a certain blond on the outside whom he hadn't seen for 10 years and never seemed to have gotten her out of his mind. John Gaylord was the next grad to be found. After rhiny-mm leaving college he started out to control the horse and buggy industry because he knew that the world's oil supply would run out in 3.97 x 10- 2342 years and he had figured that the only means of conveyance would be the horse and buggy and that if he controlled this industry his fortune would be made. He drove 11 different cars so that he would use up his share of the available gasoline. He agreed to join the project because he was stone broke, all his money had been used in burning up fuel to hasten his fortune. Don Beaver was found largely through the efforts of a Mr. J. S. Doe, who, incidently, once was a teacher of Don's. We found Don because Don had not thrown a torn paper into the waste- paper basket and it was Mr. Doe's job to report people who didn't use the wastepaper baskets. Mike Bressler had become a lawyer but had returned to school, Bates, to study navigation because one of his teachers at C.D. had given him the basic principles and had awakened his natural skill in this complicated subject. Mike joined the Air Force but had been kicked out because he had set his compass wrong, by 5', on an important flight from Dallas to Nebraska. He then became a physics teacher and was found at the old C.D. building on West Seven Mile Road carrying the cube roots to infinity and then back. He agreed to help with the project because Boss Ket. was also on it. With this group working on the project it became an immediate success. We were ready for them but they didn't come. The well known astro-physicist, Arthur Erhard, who first sighted the Moon Men, had subsequently explained it by saying that his telescope had been set wrong, due to drunkeness and that he had actually seen 13 Mile Road and Lahser, that Paris Island of Michigan. Upon hearing this the illustrious group stoned poor Erhard and went back to their normal lives, except for Foss who was still looking for that blond. CLASS WILL We, the Seniors of 1957, being contrary to popular belief, in sound mind and body, do make and publish this, our last will and testament: Don Beaver leaves his scientific curiosity to Mr. Doe. Michael Bressler leaves his love for English 12 to anyone flamboyant enough to accept it and his ability to handle monetary matters to Mrs. Shaw. Arthur Erhard leaves his slide rule to Sam's marking ,system and his can-opener to Oscar. Wallace Fengler leaves his personality to his briefcase. Robert Foss leaves his barbells to Moyes and his stocking cap to Mr. Shaw. Johnny Gaylord leaves his car to posterity and his cashmere sweaters to Sam.

The squad which was small, was looked upon as being a doormat for the opponents. This was proved later on to be untrue. The first game with Park School of Indianapolis was played only three days after practice had begun. The team was green and Park easily won by the score of 31 to O. This was supposed to be a sad forecast for the future. The next game with Oak Park, a class A school, showed that the Country Day eleven had improved but that they didn't yet have that certain something to make a smooth running offense and a rock-like defense. The game was very evenly matched as shown by the 12 - 12 score. Country Day's twelve points were scored by Ron Gurdjian and Clark Montgomery. , Q1 MIKE BRESSLER DON MCCARROLL Tackle Quarterback F orty-five 5 Y its V BOB FOSS Tackle f . RON GURDJ IAN Halfback DAVE McCARROLL SHEIL SALASNEK Halfback End With two games under our belts and a great deal of marked improvements, the Country Day eleven came face to face with our arch rivals, Grosse Pointe University School. Grosse Pointe was quite up?' for this game since it meant they would take the Detroit Country Day School--Detroit University School trophy away from us if they could win. Their high hopes were crumpled by the precision offense and defense of the Yellowjackets and the trophy was won for the third straight year. The score that kept the trophy where it should be was 14 - 7 with Kramer and Don McCarro1l getting the precious points. Country Day played host to Maumee Valley Country Day for the third game of the season. Those who saw this game were thrilled by the hard charging line and hard running backfield that marched to a 20 - 7 win over the visitors. Scorers for Country Day were Montgomery and Kramer and Dave McCarroll. After two wins the team seemed to let down in the game with Huron - a very injurious let down to Country Day since it came in a crushing defeat of 27 - 6. The only bright spot in the game for Country Day was a beautiful 60 yard run by Clark Montgomery which set up CD,s only score. CLARK MONTGOMERY CRAIG SMITH Halfback TUCUB Forty-six JACK SHEA DAVE DERLETH Guard End The following week, as Fate would have it, Country Day met a very strong Bloomfield Hills team. The game was theirs completely except for a few moments when Dave McCarroll scored for Country Day. The final score was a depressing 41 to 6. After the Bloomfield defeat, the Yellowjackets resolved to win the next game. This resolution proved fatal to the school of Boy's Republic for the determined Country Day team rolled up 25 points to Boy's Republic's 12. Clark Montgomery, Ron Gurdjian and Dave McCarroll were the go-getters for Country Day. The next game with Riverview proved to be one of the most exciting games ever to be played on the Country Day field. This was the game that everyone thought could never be won by Country Day. Riverview had won 28 previous athletic contests from Country Day prior to this game. The Yellowjackets out- fought, outmaneuvered, and outplayed Riverview throughout the whole game. This was Country Day's game and not anything or anybody could have stopped them from winning. LYLE COLEMAN JAMIE MARTIN F ullback Center Forty-seven t CHARLES NATHANSON MIKE KUKES Halfback Tackie The final score will always be remembered - 14 to 13 - with Ron Gurdjian scoring 12 points for Country Day climaxed by Don McCarroll's point after touchdown in the last two minutes of the game. The last game of the season was played at Lee Thurston High, where, again, the Country Day team showed fight and courage. In the first half which ended 0-0, Country Day came very close to scoring several times, but that extra punch to get the ball over was lacking. The defensive game couldn't have been better in the first half of the game, highlights by the goal line stand put up by Country Day before the half ended. The second half was different as Country Day lost some of its go and Thurston gained some. Thurston capitalized on all the Country Day errors which resulted in a 30-0 score. The Blue and Gold salutes the 1956 football team and Coach Daniel Halling for a truly magnificent job and we seriously hope that the next season will be better yet. BILL JONES TOM DERLETI-I Guard Center Forty-eight VICTORY---CGUN TRY DAY STYLE We find a highly spirited C. D. team charging out of the locker room to the field for a short pregame warm-up. After warming up, the linemen get a little added blocking practice before the start of the game. Before the game starts, coaches Halling and Lobkovich have a alittle conference to plan stra- tegy and decide the start- ing line up Forty-nine 'F' l As the game progresses the opposition tries again around end and partially gains some ground, until a C. D. player brings him down after an ill- timed block. After the opening kick- off the opposition trying for a gain around end, is slowed up by a C. D. lineman, and seconds later the final stop is made A few of the ever present faculty look on with great interest and do a little sideline coaching among themselves. Fifty Late in the game a C. D. touchdown ties the score and the most important play is a try for extra point with a little over a minute to go. It is -- L. ll. A 53.2. ,sim - mn. 55 x.

This year coach Frank Micklus led his Reserve Football Team to an un- defeated season. This record was accomplished by a combined team effort on the part of all the players. As in all team sports, the players must work not as in- dividuals but must function together as a smoothly operating body. Such was the case with Micklus' Maraudersf' Of course, there were several players who did outstanding work and are probably slated for varsity work in the near future. Indeed the scores themselves seem to indicate the progress of the team. As the team performed easier, their opponents were defeated in a corresponding manner. They began by defeating Bloomfield by a score of 7 to 6. Then they downed Cranbrook 6 to 0. In the next two games the Reserves walked over G.P.U.S. by the scores of 30 to 0 and 26 to 7. Following this they defeated Bloomfield by a score of l8 to 6. The climax of the season then came when the Reserves, in the last game of the season, trounced Cranbrook by the score of 34 to 0. This culminated the weeks of hard practice. Later the finishing touch was put on the perfect season by the presentation of a football trophy to Coach Micklus by the Varsity team. The experience gained by these boys during the weeks of practice will aid them in future years. Fifty-two N , '3 T 2' .fl .Mp f.,, -LQ. 1m:fx UN 'M f , gg .

Consequently early in the season Coach Halling decided to start a complete rebuilding program even though he had to sacrifice somewhat in the winning column this year. The season started very well with CD trouncing Lam- phere 55 to 17. But the next game, in fact the next seven games, ended in defeat. Some of these games showed we were improving since we lost four of the games by less than six points. We lost to unbeaten Harper Woods by 54 points which was our worst defeat of the season, but this was only our third game. The game before was also a dismal defeat by 24 points to Riverview. GPUS suffered their first defeat by four points at our hands. We then met Harper Woods again and the results were disastrously similar to the first meeting--the score, 88 to 24! We won the next game with Calvary by the sizeable margin of eight points. The Yellow- jackets then went down to defeat at Fraser. In a rematch', with Huron we had a smashing victory by the indisputable margin of two points. We then journeyed down to Maumee, Ohio for a two day tournament. Unfortunately we lost both of these games, the first to Maumee and the second to GPUS. When we returned to Detroit we played GPUS for the last game in our gym and we won by I0 points. On March first the season ended at Riverview, losing to them badly, 66 to 30. In the first game of the District Tournament we beat St. Agnes easily by 27 points but our next opponent was St. Rose whom we played for The Trophy and lost by 20 points. We hope that this year's planning will bear fruit in the form of a championship team next year and it seems likely that it should.

Every April brings a new baseball season to Country Day, and a somewhat dismal outlook for the team. This year Coach Halling has had to do quite a bit of juggling of lineups and positions. This is due to the annual loss of players by way of gradua- tion and this year also due to several of the regulars moving to other cities. This year a possible build up season for next year could be expected since the squad is mostly composed of underclassmen. A close inspection of this year's team shows much talent that in future weeks will be brought out under the able coaching of Dan Halling. The schedule for this year's season is as follows: Harper Woods, Riverview, G.P.U.S., Huron, Maumee C.D., Harper Woods, G.P.U.S., Riverview, Huron. Due to an early deadline a resume of games cannot be given, but it is the firm belief of The Blue and Gold that this year's team will possibly find a winning season during the coming weeks.

The words that the above boys would like to be described as are, Future Varsity because that is what some of them are. There must be a team of this sort in any sport because it paves the way for graduation to the varsity team. This gives its members the needed game experience , practice, and the experience of working with others of their same age. All of these are necessary preliminaries for a member of any varsity team. The team is young, yet it is old in experience because most of the members were on last years team, which had a winning season. Playing such teams as Cranbrook, Bloomfield Hills, GPUS, we hope there will be a repetition of last year's season. Coached this year by Frank Micklus the team has shown great promise in practice but again due to an early deadline we cannot give the results of any of their games.

Last year the achievements of the squad were severely limited by the number of boys who participated, this year that situation seems to be remedied, since there was quite a number of track aspirants available when practice began. The team is coached this year by Dennis Wheeler from the University of Detroit. Dennie is a Junior and has coached at Redford St. Marys. There was another first this year, the team participated in the Class D Reginal Track Meets. This along with the league meet, and meets with G.P.U.S. and Maumee Valley Country Day, promised an interesting schedule. This year, as usual, the team will be aided by a few members of other squads, who also like to participate in track. Our boys have shown that they have the needed ability and fortitude, and with the proper conditioning and practice, the track team might do a very outstanding job this year.

Second Row.' DAVE DERLETH, BARRETT TODD, RODGER SKULLY, THOMAS GARNER, JAMES JOHNSTON. The golf team this year will reap the benefits of last years rebuilding program. Last year was without too many bright spots for the golf team but this year the team should have the individual smoothness and perfection necessary for Victory. This will be present because all the members have gotten their experience at the expense of last year and this year they are old hands . Starting practice early this year, the team's last year's members are showing quite an improvement over the past season. The Blue and Gold feels confident in it's belief that the golf team will have a very good season. They could possibly win the Class C-D championship which has not been won by any previous Country Day team. Unfortunately due to an early deadline, accounts of the matches cannot be given, but we are sure of success for them. Thus we can only visualize that the matches with such teams as: Bloomfield Hills High School, Ann Arbor Uni- versity School, Detroit Catholic Central, Grosse Pointe University School, can be. The first meet will take place with Bloomfield on April 19. This may seem to be rather early but due to the early practices the outcome will be to our advantage. The Blue and Gold wishes the 1957 golf team success. Sixty-six JON KINGSEPP JAMES JOHNSTON I 5 N.

This year the prefect board, composed of entirely new members, began to assume its rightful position as the voice of the student body. Perhaps the most significant achievement was the complete rewriting of the constitution. The old one was found to be entirely too inconsistent. It has now been changed so that not only have new improvements been added, but also the old parts have been restated so as to be clear tothe students and faculty alike. This was just the be- ginning. The board brought into use the lower court judical system for the students. This court, which is completely independent of the faculty, did a great deal towards the improvement of intra-school relations. The Prefects also organized a group of cheerleaders from Liggett School. After uniforms were purchased the girls began work and added the needed touch to the C.D. cheering section. By keeping in touch with Mr. Shaw the board was able to keep the students informed on the progress of the new school and was able to act as intermediary between student and faculty. We hope that future prefect boards will be able to pick up the ball and keep it rolling. Seventy DADS' CLUB L,J.y cw K! MR. RAYMOND SMITH President Ist. Vice President 2nd. Vice-President MR. THOMAS BEAVER MR. JOHN NOYES As in past years the Dad's Club has been one of the greatest supporters of our athletic program. At every athlet- ic contest there have always been several of our Dad's Club members cheering our teams on to victory. But this moral support is not the only aid rendered to the school by this club. It sponsored the annual Football Banquet, which, as always, was a tremendous success. Our toastmaster this year was the Honorable Judge Edwards who spoke on Father and Son Relations in Connection with Juvenile De- linquency. One of the guests was the head coach of spring sports at the University of Detroit, Pat Cavanaghg accom- panying him were several of the football players also from the U. of D. Whenever there was a deficit in transportation facilities to games, the Dadls Club was always there to help out in whatever was possible. But in a greater sense the Dad's Club is a coalition of the families of Country Day, this is what makes it different from all other clubs. For this support we are always grateful and we feel that in coming years the club will come to play an even more significant role in our various activities. MR.

This year as before, the Glee Club added one of the brightest musical notes to the school year. This year the Glee Club was almost entirely made up of new members. However the voices soon blended together under the able direction of Mr. Doe. Over the past four years the Glee Club has built up an extensive repertoire of popular songs and they added to it again this year. The Glee Club first performed this year at the Annual Football Banquet, and then at the Annual Spring Concert. This graduation will not take away as many voices as in previous years, and we know that with the present nucleus the Glee Club will grow in quantity and quality and will become an even greater merit for Country Day. Although there have been no future plans as yet, we hope that in the new school the music depart- ment will be extended and the Glee Club will play an even more important part.

When Michael Bressler took over the Editor's job on the Yellowjacket he knew that he was faced with an exceedingly difficult assignment. Not only did he himself have little experience in the field, but also, although it was heartingly large, his staff was for the most part inexperienced. Mike began work with his usual vigor. lt was found there was much talent among the reporters and soon they were welded into an .effective working organization. During the school year the staff put out the same number of issues as last year but these were all twice as large as any previous year's efforts. An extensive program was started this year to exchange our school newspaper with the newspapers of other schools not only in the Southwest Suburban League, but also with other Independent schools. In this way school relations are improvedg but more important an exchange of ideas on the contents and organization of the papers is created. We feel that the job done this year has been commendable and we hope that next year's editor will be able to carry on the tradition of ever improving the Yellowjacket. Seventy-three DEBATING TEAM Highland Park Oak Park Pershing Melvindale First Row, Left to Right: RAYMOND SOKOLOV, ROY GILBERT, JOHN BURNSIDE. Second Row: WILLIAM SMITH, ROBERT SACHS, COACH CHARLES MCANDREWS SEASON'S RECORD METROPOLITAN LEAGUE STATE LEAGUE WON LOST 1 1 Lakeview 1 1 Grosse Ile 2 0 St. Cyril 1 1 Huron This year the Debating Team of Country Day had a very successful season. Topnotch debating has always been synonymous with our school and this year proved to be no exception. Led by their coach, Charles P. McAndrews, they tied for the runner-up in the Southern Division in the Detroit Metropolitan League, and ended up with a 5 wins and 3 loss record. In the Michigan State League the team remained undefeated and then compiled an 8 win and 0 loss record. One of the most inspiring notes of the year occurred when Robert Sachs out-talked all other contenders and won the Free Press Extemporaneous Speaking Award which yielded a sizeable scholarship for him. Next on the schedule was the State Tourna- ment. Successfully passing through the preliminary rounds, the team entered the finals with very high hopes. The team, which is composed mostly of underclassmen has a very young but accomplished nucleus. With this able combination as a basis, the future for our debating young men should be very promising. Seventy-four WON LOST Orchestra -R Left to Right: Richard Poole, Jerry Chalmers, James Stone, Mr. Peach, James Tann. Part of our school's musical program is the orchestra. Every Friday they may be heard diligently practicing their repertoire. This year the orchestra con- sisting of Richard Poole, violing Jerry Chalmers, clarinet, James Tann, clarinet, James Stone, trombone, and directed by Mr. Everett Peach, piano, performed at the annual Spring Concert in conjunction with the Glee Club. The orchestra put a great deal of work into this program and came forth with a commendable per- formance. This was due in part to the players' past experience in playing before audiences. This function will prove very important for the players as they progress in the Musical World. For they will be able to perform with ease before any size audience. Many more concerts are planned for the future and with the continua- tion of their present rapid progress, the orchestra will continue to become an even greater asset to the music of Country Day. DRAMATICS Left to right, first row.' WENDY MARTIN, SANDRA WHITE, CAROLINE TUFFORD, DIANE FINKEL, JANE LEWIS.

And last night, dear friends, I stole a taxi and tried to kill myself. On this tragic note the curtain rang down this years dramatic production, Adam's Evening . Again, as in previous years, the play was av huge success. Directed this year by Mrs. Annette McKinnon and Mr. Paul Springer the dramatists worked diligently and came out with a sparkling play. Adams Evening was a delightful comedy about a poor henpecked husband's dilemma. After a wild ride with a crazy taxi driver bent on suicide and a beautiful young lady whom he had just met, Adam Adams had to explain to his wife about his whereabouts the previous night. He thought fast and told a story about a friend who had been with him in an accident that night and had been killed. Then his dominating mother- in-law sent flowers to the fictitious corpse. The action began when not only the woman, who was the family doctor's wife, but also the corpse and the crazy taxi driver showed up in Adam'-s home. Finally everything was straightened out after much hysteria. The actors were Bruce Hauser as Adam Adams, Caroline Tufford as Anna Adams, Sandra White as Mrs. Bean, David Smith as Elmer, Diane Finkel as Gertie, Jerome Johnston as Casper, Jane Lewis as Rosita, Sheil Salasnek as Dr. Fragoni, Wendy Martin as Mrs. Cokes, and Charles Nathanson as Mr. Cokes. All in all the night proved to be a complete success for the play. The Blue and Gold knows that the coming years will bring even better plays to Country Day. Seventy-six 1 qi x 5 x Honor Society First Row, Left to Right: PAUL ANTZE, GUS KOUNTOUPES, SAM KOUNTOUPES, NEIL SATOVSKY. HOWARD SHAPIRO, BRUCE TIMMONS. STEVEN SLOMAN. Second Row: ROBERT SACHS, THOMAS DERLETH, WILLIAM JONES, DENNIS ROOSA, WILLIAM OLMSTED. PHILIP MARTIN. Third Row: DAVID DERLETH. JEROME JOHNSTON, RAYMOND SOKOLOV, CHARLES NATHANSON, RODNEY FISK, PETER WILLIAMS, ARTHUR ERHARD, BRUCE HAUSER. In the scholastic world the Honor Society is the equal of the varsity letter in sports. In the sporting fields, a boy is given a varsity letter when he has ac- complished the mental and physical requirements necessary for the varsity team. A boy who is on the Honor Society has shown that he has high mental capacities. Detroit Country Day is a preparatory school. Its main function is to prepare boys for college and also later life. Therefore, naturally, the emphasis is on scholastic work. To attain the Honor Society a student must acquire an A or B in every subject. After his first time on the Society, a student is allowed to receive one C grade and still retain his honor status. With the high requirements that are maintained by Country Day to get on the Honor Society is not an easy feat. Therefore it is a privilege to be elected to this select group. Thus when one is elected to this group he knows that this is the recognition of the school given to a person who has achieved scholastic achievement of the highest order.

Curtayf Fuufmsyzph D 3 4 Robertah ru Cntol cn. There's satisfaction in meeting a challenge Working at Edison, there's challenge in the very air you breathe. It's logical. This is a growing company in a growing industry. And growth always creates problems. This is also a pioneering company, constantly challenging the accepted ways of doing things. Challenge, opportunity, progress . . . they're like steps. The steps that lead to a satisfactory career. And advancement within the company is the standard practice rather than the exception. We have heard it said that Edison is a good place to work. True! One of the reasons that makes it so-particularly for high school graduates entering the business world for the first time-is that Edison people are friendly, sympathetic and helpful. If you reside in metropolitan Detroit, we invite you to visit our Employ- ment Department, 2000 Second Avenue. Elsewhere, job application forms are available at any Edison customer oliice.
