STUDENT COUNCIL After very stiff campaigning on the part of the four upper classes, omcers were elected to govern the council through the sixth year of its existence. George Purcell, senior, was elected president, for the second consecutive year, Tom VVilson and Bob lldiller, senior and junior candidates, were chosen as vice-presidents as a result of a tie, Eugene lVIoushey, freshman candidate, was made secretary-treasurer. The intramural sports, school union, exchange assemblies, and school service com- mission were again taken over by the council. Several new features marked its program this year. lklarshall entertained the Twin-Valley school councils at a banquet January sixth, to which Albion, Lakeview, Sturgis, and Adrian sent representatives. Representatives from the M. H. S. council went to the eighth district meeting of the Nlichigan Education Association, on March 13. ln lllay, representatives again attended a meeting at Kalamazoo, sponsored by Kalamazoo College. lllr. Rose acted as adviser to this legislature. PAGE TEN NI N UCDUIS AW rg Z THE DIAL HALL OFFAME J. Ruddock M. Maurer B. Harrison T. Wilson R. Van Voorhees S. Udell G. Purcell J. Smith A Personality, character, scholarship, and worth-while activity marked these students for the Marshall High School Hall of Fame, and their selection was by unanimous decision of the faculty committee. Jeanne Ruddock, endowed with unusual ingenuity and clever ideas, was business manager of this ANNUAL. For the last two years she handled the business manager's post for G. A. A. She headed the J-Hop decorations committee in '37, and has been active in dramatics and club work. Her academic record is decidedly superior. Max Maurer, blessed with great personal popularity among faculty and classmates, was president of the Class of '38, and ranked first in scholarship. He has contributed to both sports and cultural programs of the school. As a freshman, he was secretary-treasurer of the student council, and held the same odice for his class during his sophomore and junior years. The DIAL was published under his editorship in '37-'38. Barbara Harrison has helped engineer nearly every social and group activity of organizations to which she belonged. She was secretary-treasurer of the G. A. A. in '36-'37. and president in '37-'38. She served as assistant head usher her junior year, and head usher in '37-'38. The student-union chairmanship fell to her for two years, as well as membership in that group in her freshman and sophomore years. She acted as vice president of the sophomore class, secretary-treasurer of the art club, and art editor of the bi-monthly DIAL tnewspaperl. Her scholarship rates excellent. Thomas 1Tommyj Wilson, vice-president of the student council, served the junior class as president, and was the sophomore candidate for council secretarv-treasurer, He has two years of football, four of basket- ball, and two of baseball on his sports record. As associate editor of the ANNUAL, he worked extremely well. His scholarship is far above the average of those athletically inclined, and his fitness for a college career is undisputed, Robert lScodei Van Voorhees, editor-in-chief of the ANNUAL. has an enviable record in dignity of character and in scholarship attainment. His ability and interest in science are notable. The Science Club made him their president. He was vice president of the newly-created Hi-Y Club. Susan Udell, vice-president of the senior class and a natural leader, spent three successful years on the debate squad. helpinir to bring many victories to Marshall. She entered the declamataory contest as a sophomore: won the oratorical contest as a junior, and was president of the Speech Club her junior year. As a senior, she was vice president of the G. A. A. The D. A. R. selected her to represent Marshall at its state-get-together of candidates for a Washington trip. She is a close second to Max in the Field of scholarship. George Purcell, president of the Student Council during '36-'37 and '37-'38, has an enviable record. He was president of his freshman and sophomore class, and captain of the football and basketball teams of '37-'38g won the Cup in '37 for putting Marshall on the map : attained honorab'e mention three straight years for all-state football and two years for basketball. He has four years to his credit in these two sports. and in baseball. His scholarship record is near the top. and his popularity with the students immense. Jayne Smith is among the select in scholarship, having won the medal awarded the best Enelish student in 1937. She was secretary-treasurer of the Science Club, of the G. A. A.. and of the Senior c'ass of 1937- 1938. She served as exchange editor. sports writer, and on exchange assemblies for the DIAL. Her constant activitv in all organizations and athletics throughout the four years was enthusiastic and commendable. The wide range of club and sports activities of this group is on record beside their names in the ensuing senior class pages. PAGE TWE LVE u THE DIAL Louesa Alexander James J. Baker Russ M.

CLASS HISTORY As fearless, big, brave, bold freshmen, over one hundred forty strong, the class of '38 entered this institution of education. Boy, are we ever grown up! We really didn't need any sponsor Cwe could take care of ourselvesjg but we finally condescended to elect lkliss Jean VVhiteley and hir. H. H. Harrison. However, we were no trouble, no indeed! VVe elected the biggest of Mus big guysf' George Purcell, presidentg Fairy Gauss, vice-presidentg and Joyce Bemis, secretary-treasurer. Clt kept her on the go to keep account of our vast amount of dough.j ln the fall we threw a Bowery Party, more fun! Highly successfulf' everyone said. VVhen Student Council election came around we put up Nlax Maurer, who was electedajust like that-secretary-quite an honor for a freshman. as as 46 + an are VVhen we came back as sophomores we felt much, much, wiser, and say, did those freshmen look green! To advise us this year, we elected Jean Whiteley and Bruce Gray. Due to the fact that George Purcell had proved an excellent president, we re- elected himg with Barbara Harrison, vice-president, and llflax Maurer, secretary. This year part of the sophomore English classes dramatized and presented Silas' Mnrner'. The annual class party took place in a gay Cabaret with a floor show, et al. The year closed with the trip to Greenfield Village. Entering the junior year, the class found that many more responsibilities rested upon its shoulders. As counselors, we chose Mrs. Parry and lVIr. Fuog. To guide the class, we chose Tom VVilson, with Gail Reincke, vice-presidentg and Max llaurer, secretary. This year the juniors were victorious in student council election, George Purcell winning the presidential oflice over the senior candidate. Following the lvlarshall-Albion game, the juniors sponsored an Armistice football dance. In the middle of the year we found ourselves in a dilemma. The entire class wanted to produce a play, but there were no teachers free to direct it. At last we secured Miss Ethlyn Sexton of Olivet and produced Just Out of College, a crazy comedy, full of laughs. ln the spring when everyone was singing, Sweet Lei-Lonif and Blllf' Hawaii, the seniors and juniors were dancing in the same atmosphere at the J-Hop. One of the big victories of the year was the annual tug-of-war, when the juniors pulled the seniors into the creek - the first time in years! The senior year started off auspiciously and we elected lVIax lylaurer, presidentg Susan Udell, vice-presidentg and Jayne Smith, secretary. For guardians, we re-elected lblrs. Parry and hir. Fuog. The results of the student council election showed both the senior candidates victorious! George Purcell was re-elected presidentg and Tom Wilson, co-vice-presi- dent with Robert Bliller, a junior. The Senior Memorial committee, headed by Fairy Gauss, got busy and decided upon the giftg and Max Maurer presented the gift, sound-movie equipment and public address system, at an assembly. ln the winter the class presented fl rwurder Har Bern Arranged. This play, directed by Mrs. Murray, was unusually good and unusually difficult. In the spring the Seniors enjoyed a picnic at Pine Lake with the faculty as their dinner guests. Near the last of the year we find our class noted for its family atmosphere, several girls are already married. Long may these highlights of ,38 remain in our memories.

Van Voorhees, SENIOR PLAY A Murder Has Been Arranged ln a setting depicting a deserted theatre stage, A hlurder Has Been Arrzingedfl the senior play, was performed with such uncanny effectiveness, February tenth, that it held the audience spellbound and sent many a chill shivering down spines. This, the first attempt by a high school class of lllarshall to present a heavy murder mystery, was a spooky success. llflrs. VVragg, a Cockney cook played hy Jayne Smith, gave the play comedy relief. The frightened secretary, lVIiss Groze, was portrayed by Jeanne Ruddock. Lady Beatrice Jasper, the lovely young wife of Sir Charles Jasper, was enacted hy Christa Costman. Helen Bolinger characterized lylrs. Arthur, Lady jasper's overly-ambitious mother. James North was dramatized by Richard Huggett. George Purcell died well as Sir Charles Jasper. Robert Van Voorhees played the villainous part of lylaurice llflullens. The mysterious woman was very effectively done hy Esther Rich, while XVayne Bradley, in the role of Cavendish, led the orchestra. The play was well performed under the guidance of hlrs. Bess lllurray and with the kind assistance of lllr. Jenvey and his ahle musicians. James Baker and James Smyth, property men, took care of the special lighting, and hlargaret Kraushaar and Bruce Bushre handled the prompting and the found effects. Barbara Harrison and Elaine Bordeaux were in charge of costumes and make-up. lliiss Thomas and her advanced sewing class made the effective costumes. PAGE TWENTY-SEVEN -I THE DIAL J- HOP, 1937 Swaying palms, leis, surf boards, flowers, vines, grass skirts, fish nets, a grass hut, a distant sail boat, and a large Hawaiian moon - all lent atmosphere to the Hawaiian setting carried out by the class of '38, at the 1937 Junior-Senior Hop. Johnny Dexterls orchestra occupied the middle of the gym under a large palm tree, and the couples danced around them. The floor show consisted of: a group of Hawaiian guitar players, tap dancing, and singing. Refreshments of iee-cream and cookies were served. 'lihe Grand lllarch was lcd by llr. and lllrs.

Committee heads for the reception were: Jeanne Ruddock, decorations, Joyce Bemis, refreshments, Fairy Gauss, orchestrag Susan Udell, enter- tainment, Barbara Harrison, games, Helen Bolinger, programs. After three hours of Hlllarshall High School Gone Hawaiian the couples, to the strains of Aloha, pushed off for lands of further adventure. PAGE TWENTY-EIGHT THE DIAL Top Row: J. Reid, C.

Bess lllurray, to develop a nose for newsfl the '38 journalism class set out for Hscoopsf' To edit the bi-monthly, the class selected lllax lllaurer and his able associate editor, lllarguerite Shaw. This proved to be a wise forward step. Other staff heads were: Barbara Harrison, art editor, Jayne Smith, exchange editor, and lwartens llflueller, printer. Football assignments went to John NIcCallum and Jayne Smith. Nlartens Muel- ler reported all the basket-ball games from the press box. All three did pr0fCSSi0I1Hl work at these posts. VVe learned to rush assignments to reach the deadline, to make original leads, to cut and cut some more, and, last but not least, not to use Write expressions. By the end of the school year the class will have published seventeen issues of the DIAL. Nlany are its faults and virtues, but we hope that you have enjoyed it While we gained experience. On hlarch 25 hlrs. Bflurray and the journalism class motored to Ann Arbor and visited the rllivlzigan Daily and the Ann ,lrlwr Nfunv. The trip was profitable and U16 class gained invaluable experience. The Annual staff included: Robert VanVoorhees, editor-in-chief, Tom VVilson, associate editor, Jeanne Ruddock, business managerg and Christa Costman, art editor. During the year the dramatics class presented three series of plays for the benefit of the Annual, and so, thanks to them, we have four extra pages. VVe are grateful to hir. H. H. Harrison for his helpful suggestions concerning the Annual, and to Nliss Burgett and lllarian lllurray for their assistance in the art work in this book, the latter having executed the frontespieces. This class has been complimented on its harmony and smooth-Working set-up. VVe only hope that this cooperation has made for a better book. PAGE TWENTY-NINE 4 Ucf ,Wiz 5 S.

This comedy centered around Herbert Kalness and his long-suffering family, who constantly heard of his success as a self-made man. Mrs. Kalness, in true housewifely fashion, objected to having a highly polished cuspidor and a crayon portrait of Grandpa Kalness in her parlor. The Kzllness children all had modern ideas to which their father vigorously objected. All worked out for the best, when Herbert invited some plain folks for a plain meal and got just what he asked for, including a centerpiece of celery, a cotton table cloth, and a most ill-mannered family. VVhen ordered to state the meaning of such actions, Nlrs. Kalness announced that she was leaving Herbert. He, realizing the error of his ways, reformed, and the family was reconciled.

FOOTBALL Playing its hardest schedule in years, Nlarshall High finished a successful football season November ll by defeating its traditional rival, Albion, by the same score as that by which they beat us a year ago, 7-6. This win enabled us to bring the H. C. Brooks Perennial Trophy hack to lklarshall, where we hope it remains for a few years. The Redskins started the season with seven lettermen: Captain Purcell, Bushre, C. Coleman, Wheeler, Evans, Hazel, Chapman. Thus Coach Carr's outlook for a successful season seemed bright. On September l7, the first game of the '37 campaign, we journeyed to Battle Creek and took it on the nose from our class A rivals to the tune of 13-0. On September 24, Coach Carr's boys invaded Adrian and defeated the Nlapleleafs for the fourth consecutive year, 20-6. On October 2, the Flint Central Indians, another Class A aggregation, came into town and displayed some real power in setting our Redskins back, 20-0. On October 8, the Reds went to Coldwater to play the Cardinals under flood- lights. The game was hard fought with lklarshall emerging victors, 6-0. ln the next two games, the Redskins ran into some tough competition in the Twin-Valley race and were defeated by Sturgis, 7-0, and by Hillsdale, 9-7. On November 5, however, the boys from lylarshall nearly redeemed themselves when the highly touted St. Augustine team of Kalamazoo invaded lylarshall and defeated us by only 20-13. St. Augustine scored 20 points in the second quarter and were held score- less the rest of the game. Coach Carr's proteges really showed that they could play football in the last half by scoring 13 points. In the conference standings, lk-'larshall finished second with three wins and two defeats. Four boys from lVIarshall: C. Coleman, R. Coleman, G. Purcell, and J. Hazel were honored by positions on the All-Twin-Valley team selected by the coaches. Further honors were given these boys by honorable mention on Richard E. Remington's All-State Team, selected annually. PAGE FORTY-THREE THE DIAL Top Row: Carr tccachh, C. Clayborn, H. Lower, R.

TWIN VALLEY CHAMPS Rolling up the best record ever accredited to any Kedskin team, the l937-38 squad won I5 out of I7 QJHIIOS. The last five of these, four of which Marshall won, were in state tournaments. The Redskins started their regular season by defeating both Hillsdale and Lakeview before Christmas vacation. Upon returning to school in January, the squad played host to Adrian and Sturgis, defeating each quintet, the latter by one point only. Journeying to Coldwater and Albion, the Marshallites handed still more defeats to these strong rivals. At home again for games with Lakeview and Hillsdale on the second round, the home town boys repeated their early season feats without apparent difticulty. Albion invaded the home fort, but was entirely unsuccessful in routing the natives. Playing what proved to be their best game of the year, the Redskins trounf-ed the Adrian Maple Leafs on their own floor, a feat accomplished only once by a local team. As did Napoleon, Marshall met her VVaterloo. Sturgis, in the role of Duke of Welling- ton, handed the Reds their first defeat in eleven starts. After tasting' this by-no-means delicious fruit, the Redskins defeated the next four of their next tive foes. This group consisted ot' Albion, Coldwater, Hastings, Plymouth, and Flint St. Michael. The latter defeated M. H. S. in Grand Rapids. Having defeated them twice in Twin Valley competition, Marshall had no ditliculty in defeating Albion, Coldwater, and Hastings. Plymouth, having been taken out of compe- tition by the locals before, fought gamely to prevent a duplication. After a close score for three quarters, the Reds pulled out in front and clinched their final game in the last few minutes. The following evening the Reds attacked St. Nlichrlel in Grand Rapids, and were thrashed in a counter-attack staged by the rangy Flint team. Although Pate was cruel in depriving Marshall of the State Championship, the record rolled up by the 1937-'38 quintet was the best ever amassed by an M. H. S. team, and much credit is due the boys and their coach. This squad that the Messrs. Carr and Gray, coach and assistant respectively, trained to such perfection, consisted of six seniors, three juniors, and one sophomore. The seniors were: Capt. George Purcell, Tom VVilson, Bruce Bushre, Max Maurer, Charles Coleman, and Charles Clayborn. The junior group consisted of: Fred Kahler, Harold Lower, and Robert Miller. Les Hayes was the only sophomore representative. The Reserve squad, without which no team can hope to win, had a successful year, topping seven out of eleven foes. The outlook for next year's team looks exceedingly bright, as four regulars will be back, to say nothing of the fine reserves that will be avnilable. Kahler will he captain in '38-'39, PAGE FORTY-FOUR THE DIAL SKILL! TEAM WORK! ATTAINMENT!

TRACK Marshall, with an able coach and fine material, entered its fifth successive year of Twin-Valley track competition with new enthusiasm. In the Hrst meet of the season, held at our new athletic field April 28, Albion defeated the lVIarshall tracksters by a 59 to 35 count. The defeat was largely due to lVIarshall's having no entries in the high jump or pole vault events. On Nlay -I-, the Homer High School thin-clads invaded our new field, for a practice meet, defeating us 502 to -l-02. This prepared our squad for the big event of the year: the Twin-Valley meet, held here lllay l-l in an all-day drizzle. Charles Coleman splashed his way to victory in the 880 dash, finishing forty yards ahead of his nearest contender. His brother, Roosevelt Coleman, also took first in the 100 and 220 yard events, Billy lWcKinstry placed third in the mile rung and the relay team, composed of VV. Barnes, A. Nletzger, A. lNlcPherson, and R. Coleman, won second place honors in that event. R. Coleman placed third in the broad jump. C. Coleman, in the high jump, tied with Cheek and Hunt to total NIarshall's points to 202 and give them last place. Adrian took first place with 3223 points, Albion second with 23Lf, points, and Coldwater third with 23 points. Lakeview, Sturgis, and Hillsdale did not participate in the meet. The other local tracksters who did not win honors, but competed in this meet, were Joe Schroeder, in the low hurdles, Harlan Sholes, in the -I-405 and James Baker, in the half mile. The season was well rounded out with the Coleman brothers and Billy lNlcKinstry competing in the regional meet held at Kalamazoo, Nlay 21. PAGE FORTY-SEVEN THE DIAL 1G. A. A.

After a hectic day of proposing, singing, and giving definitions, the tired pledges shakily assembled for a banquet where the diplomas and numerals were presented. Dancing concluded the occasion. At a Spanish fiesta, the lovely maids and their handsome escorts swayed to the music of llflorris Style's Albion College Orchestra, April 22-namely, the annual spring formal. This crowded year closed with the annual spring breakfast, June 10, when the new officers were installed, and letters presented to deserving members. In order to be a G. A. A. member, one has to uphold a HC average through the high school course, and earn one hundred points through any sports. To remain a regular member, one has to earn one hundred points every year, fifty preceeding the spring formal, and pay annual dues. The awards are based on the following required points: 100 points, numerals, 500 points, small l'lW g 1000 points, large block 'llllug and for the highest award, 2000 points, a pin. Besides being socially engaged, and furnishing well balanced sport activities, the organization has continued to promote the spirit of sportsmanship, and to heighten interest in girls' athletics. PAGE FORTY-NINE T H E D I A L INTRAMURAL SPORTS Intramural sports, first introduced into the High School in 1932, are for the purpose of giving athletic participation to otherwise inactive students. BASKETBALL Basketball games were played each noon under the supervision of Mr. Carr and the managership of G. Purcell and M. Maurer. These lasted during the winter months, having six-minute quarters. The Junior High is divided into nine teams, three in each grade, each team playing every other team once. The same procedure is followed in the Senior High, the games being played after the completion of the Junior High schedule. The winning team in the Junior High was the 9-3, consisting of: R. Reed, D. Smith, J. Paxton, W. Morse, C. O'Leary, H. Groesbeck, and D. Roepke. The Senior High champions were the 12-1, made up of: Hazel, M. Smith, VV. Coleman, L. Rushford, J. Wing, and sl. Baker. INTERCLASS BASKETBALL The basketball season was climaxed with the victory of the seniors over the freshmen, lblarch 2-l-, by a 28-17 score. This victory was the third time the class of '38 had captured the class championship in the same number of years. ln two preceding games, the freshmen had walked away with the sophomores, 31--l-, on llflarch 223 and the seniors took a thriller from the juniors, 23-22, March 23. SOFTBALL lnterclass softball again opened the spring athletic program of hi. H. S. A team representing each class played six games, two against each opposing class. The sophomores finished the season on top of the league with four wins, one tie, and one loss. The juniors secured second placeg the seniors, third, and the freshmen were consigned to the cellar. The games moved along smoothly under the managership of Fred f'Slugger Kahler. TUG OF WAR This annual spring classic takes place each year the last week in hlay, at Rice Creek. ln 1937 the juniors pulled the seniors in for the first time since 1926, and the second time in the history of our school, while, in 1938, tradition held its own and the same class won, though this time as seniors.

Max Packard has acted as president, Xiary Chapin, secretary, Billy Collins, business manager, Morris Stulberg, librarian, and VValter Heidenreich, assistant librarian. The band stimulated enthusiasm with peppy music at the football and basketball games, and attended the tournament games at Albion. They have played at several pep assemblies and Music Boosters' meetings, and cooperated with all city activities throughout the year. The band's goal and ambition has been obtaining sufficient funds to purchase uniforms. They had several benefit programs in this cause, and the lllusic Boosters, Club has loyally promoted it.

Other oflicers were: lllorris Stulberg, librariang and Lucille Curry, assistant librarian. The orchestra has played on several extra-school programs and has provided delightful music at the junior and senior plays, the operetta, and a series of dramatics class plays. The ensemble, composed of Lucille Curry, piano, Natalie Oversmith, lluteg lllax Packard, clarinet, Mary Elizabeth lVlcKinstry and Douglas Packard, violins, have made appearances at several organizational functions and assemblies.

HIGH SCHOOL CHOIR Something new and something different seems to have been the motto of the llflarshall High School Choir this year. After uniting the boys' and girls' glee clubs into one large choir, Mr. Jenvey was able to meet them every day in the week. Under this new arrangement, the choir furthered their talents in music and received more credit. The membership has greatly increased since the first of the year. Earl Abendshein was elected presidentg lllary Chapin, secretary, Alberta Peck, business managerg VVayne Bradley, librarian, and Gwen Guile, assistant librarian- to perform the tasks connected with these ol'Hces for the choir. Nlr. Jenvey and the choir furnished entertainment on these various occasions during the year: Eckford Grange, Legion Supper, Teachers' Institute, Brooks hie- morial llflissionary Society, W. E. L. L. Radio Station, Rotary Club, Nlusic Boosters' Club, rural party, exchange assemblies, Christmas carols at the llflethodist Church, and for the assembly.

Theral Herrick joined the faculty as debate coach. The 1937-38 season opened with twenty-six students eager to argue the state question: Resolved that the several states should adopt a unicameral form of legisla- turefl This squad was reduced to twelve within a few weeks. This squad participated in one hundred nineteen debates and won twenty-two out of twenty-seven judged contests. They also enjoyed about forty trips during the year. The squad's first conquest was in the Twin Valley, from which they emerged with four victories and no defeats, for first place. In state competition Marshall defeated Plainwell, East Lansing, and Paw Paw, but alas, Big Rapids doomed Marshall in the quarter-finals by a Z-1 decision. Marshall received a wall plaque given by the Detroit Free Press to the teams which enter state debating competition. Susan Udell, Billy 1N'IcKinstry, and Joe Schroeder also received individual awards from the Free Press. On April 29, the debaters attended the state championship debate at Hill Audi- torium in Ann Arbor. Big Rapids was awarded a unanimous decision over the affirmative team of Flint Central. With all of the squad members having their letters this season, the 1938-39 season should prove as successful as this year with nine of the squad returning. The 1938 season has been ltlarshallls most successful year. Perhaps the horse shoe which accompanied the team to the crucial contests had something to do with the achievements.

Speech Club has for the third year proved a success, with lylr. Theral Herrick as sponsor. The fundamental purpose of this club is to promote better public speaking by sponsoring speech activities in our school. The speech club sponsored the following activities this year: Debate: Twenty-six students went out for debating, with a squad of twelve chosen.

Others participating in the local contest were: lX'Iartha lvlore, lVilma Loh, Douglas Packard, and Richard Hale: chosen from a total of twenty-one students out for this activity. Marshall won the Twin Valley Championship in all speech activities, with a total score of twelve points out of a possible fourteen. This total consists of: debate, 5: declamation, 2: oratory, 2, and extempore, 3. As a result of this victory, the RI. H. S. Speech Club brought home the 1937-38 Twin Valley Championship cup. The school and all those who have been active in speech activities owe a vote of thanks to lklr. Theral Herrick for his brilliant work of coaching the speech department.

ART CLUB President-Owen Gaskill Vice President - Billy lVIcKinstry Secretary-Treasurer 7 Helen Schnaitman The Art Club again weathered the hard knocks of a typical school year and suc- ceeded in mixing both business and pleasure to good advantage. The club's season was officially opened with a rip-roaring initiation which brought in fourteen budding Raphaels to swell its diminishing ranks. Under the inspiring influence of the sponsor, lN'Iiss Elizabeth liurgett, the Art Club wended their way through the NI. H. S. corridors, caroling to call the school to the annual Christmas Assembly. Another worthwhile project sponsored by this enterprising association was the rotating art exhibit. All the Twin Valley schools participated in this plan, each com- posing an exhibit which was sent to every school, where it remained a week for in- spection. On llflay 21 the group visited the art centers of Detroit. Here's to the Art Club and may it continue to be an active figure in our school organization. PAGE FIFTY-EIGHT THE DIAL Top Row: D.

Fuog, is afliliated with the Y. lN'I. C. A., and is composed of boys from grades 9 through 12. The first meeting saw Robert lViiller elected president, with Robert Van Voorhees, Charles Clayborn and Harold Lower vice-president, treasurer, and secretary, respectively. At the second meeting the State Hi-Y Constitution was approved and adopted. Their next get-to-gether con- sisted of a sortie to Battle Creek, where they enjoyed a talk by Dr. Samuel Grafflin, and later a swim followed by a basketball game, which Nlarshall lost by one basket. Numerous similar jaunts came later at monthly intervals. Keeping up their good work, the Hi-Y was largely responsible for bringing Dr. James Naismith, the founder of basketball, to speak at an assembly here.

This is an all-year program, open to juniors, seniors, and people out of school who are sixteen years of age or over, whereby the members attend school regularly each morning, and Work outside at other periods. This plan of apprenticeship training is a cooperative arrangement between the school and business concerns of the community to assist young persons to learn a trade, occupation, or business. The length of an apprenticeship varies with the trade or occupation for which the training is given. ln all cases a minimum period of 2,000 clock hours of combined school and work experiences is required. VVith the consent of the employer, all apprentices are given a probationary period of from six weeks to three months. according to the length of the apprenticeship. The apprentice has the status of a non-competitive worker, neither displacing nor substituting for a regular worker. The apprentice must be paid while employed. The apprentice will be granted a trade diploma upon satisfactory completion of his apprenticeship. The diploma is granted jointly by the State Board of Control for Vocational Education and the local school board. The regular high school diploma will also be granted to those who complete the required work. Due to his constant work and unusual ability as an organizer, Nlr. Harrison has made the 1937-38 year successful beyond hope, and plans for 1938-39 are already operating. At the present time there are twenty-two apprentices, seventeen boys and live girls, on the program. Of these four are juniors, seven seniors, and eleven post gradu- ates. These students are placed in sixteen different trades. PAGE SIXTY-FIVE THE DIAL HIGH SCHOOL BOOSTERS Patronize These Loyal Merchants and Professional Men AUTOMOBILE AGENCIES GROCERS C. M.
