Wifi , v K 4 L A , IN yd V I 435- 9275 DEDICATION This Yearbook is dedicated to four very dear friends of the students of Edison Instituteg Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ford and Mr. and Mrs. Edsel Ford. It has been through their co- operation and interest that the activities and opportunities revealed in the following pages have been made possible. CUP I 3 FOREWORD IFE is a process of education. The result of that education is what we call expe- rience. Or, to say it another way, edu- cation is what remains with us as the essence of experience. The earth is the schoolroom in which the work is carried on. Whatever else we may call education, in whatever other schoolrooms it may be pursued, if it does not give experience or help us to analyze and prolit by experience, it is not education. In the Greenfield schools this is what we believe and this is what we seek. There are assembled here for the student's use com- plete displays of every practical art by which man has maintained his life in the world and refined it to higher usefulness and power. The first duty of every person is to maintain him- self 3 until he can do this intelligently there is little chance of his doing much for other people. The ideal of our schools is that, after our students have learned how to perform their individual part in the world, they may enlarge that part so that it may become beneficial to others. It is still true that the great majority of people must be helped, must be guided by others more experienced than themselves, must have their work developed for them out of someone else's vision, and must be direct- ed how to use their energies to their own highest advantage. We are hoping that the type of leader who can do these things for others may be developed in the Greenfield Schools. To this end we are providing opportunity for the development of well-rounded men and women. One who is to be of service in the world should attain growth on all sides of his or her being. Not only intellectual ability, but moral character and the social values are to be kept constantly in view. To create by thinking, and to re-create by playing, and to humanize ourselves by social contacts and understanding and tolerance and helpful- ness, come very near to summarizing the work of people in this life. The Greenfield student should carry cer- tain marks, born of his or her experiences and opportunities in these schools. There should be the mark of initiative-willingness and ability to tackle the problem, whatever it may be. There should be the mark of indus- try-sparing no effort to achieve the proper end because of our inherent belief that every effort which anyone makes yields an impor- tant result. There should be also the mark of discrimination, as of one who has learned to distinguish between the real values of life and the false ideas that delude so many people today. Any person who has these qualities of char- acter is an educated person. Education is not stuffing the mind, but learning how to use the mind. Study is like food-it should be the source of wholesome nourishment and reliable strength. If we study and work and respect the rights of others, nothing can prevent us being well-balanced young men and women. I I 5 MR. HENRY FORD Life is a process of education. The earth is the schoolroom. Every day with its task is our teacher. This is what we believe at Greenfield. 6 -GJ? . . . 9 2 - I A 44 l ' ,, . f . XL u I MKS. HENRY FORD Dmn Boys AND Guns.

They were setting out on a new adven- ture, they were going to school in anew way. This day marked the opening of the Scotch Settlement School in Greenfield Village. School was to be a place of mixed activities, a place where practical training and technical knowledge were to be blended in the hope of developing well-rounded men and women, ready to face life in all its reality. Education was to be given to these people in the midst of such historic surroundings the Lincoln Court House, Menlo Park, and other sacred relics of history in the actual making. It was to be ex- pected that these pupils should absorb from these buildings respect for the past that could not other- wise be acquired. School was called i11 the same building where years before Mr. Henry Ford had received his 17 early training. This was an inspiring thought to all. The students were divided into their respec- tive classes, which meant there would be four grades in the school, first through fourth. Mr. Earl Nelson conducted the classes. If one had peeked into the windows on a Friday after- noon he would have witnessed traditional spell- downs which have been continued through all the grades since. The boys and girls still cherish the dol- lar and half-dollar medals awarded at the end of each year for proficiency. The onlooker would also have been entertained by watching these first classes step out to perform the steps in their first quadrille or varsovienne. Mr. Benjamin ll. Lovett was the dance master. Mr. Lovett was also the director of the school system. Wednesday dancing classes are a vital part of the student's school life. After a very successful first year, the school con- tinued its growth. Miss Mildred Mason became instructor of the school on November 8, 1929, to replace Mr. Nelson. In 1930 the Town Hall School was opened with Miss Marguerite Greene as teacher. Eventually the classes were so divided that each school included the first six classes. In the same year, 1930, the Martha-Mary Chapel was opened to the students. A devotional service began each school day, and these services were conducted by the student body. This chapel was dedicated by Bishop Page, Bishop of the Episcopal diocese of Michigan. In 1934 the chapel services were broadcast over Station WJR, Detroit, and beginning October 24, 1935, the services were broadcast each Thursday morning over a nation- wide hook-up through the facilities of WJR over the Columbia Broadcasting System. With the close of school in 1931, Miss Mason and Miss Greene left the system and were replaced by Miss E. Lucile Webster at the Scotch Settle- ment School and Miss Ruby Mason at the Town Hall School. The fourth class of 1929 was now the sixth and oldest class in the system. However, this situation was changed in 1932 when an eighth class was added. These people are now seniors and the first class to be graduated from The Edison Institute. The year 1933 marked expansion in many ways. A new school was established to care for the ele- mentary classes, one, two, and three. This school first met in October, 1933, at Clinton Inn under the supervision of Mrs. Bernadine Cadaret. It re- mained at the Inn until Monday, November 12, 1934, when, the little children were transferred to the quaint McGuffey School which is a part of the historic group of buildings erected in the Village in honor of that great educator and author ofthe Eclectic Readers. This year also found the stu- dents busy practicing for the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta Pinafore under the direction of Mr. Robert Taylor. A course in sewing was begun in 1933 under Miss Loraine Bunge. This course has progressed rapidly under the supervision of first Miss Bunge, then Mrs. Chalmers, and at present Miss Edith Meyer. The Secretary House was converted into a girls' clubhouse in September, 1934. Miss Mar- garet Mackinnon was selected as the hostess and began the courses in homemaking. On January 1, 1935, Mrs. Agnes Elliott assumed the care of the house. Progress was evident in every move of the school system and by 1934 the various schools were offer- ing well-rounded courses in academic subjects, and, besides, the students were obtaining first-hand knowledge of how to do things by actual practice. Recreation in the form of horseback riding was added. -Captain Armstrong was brought in as riding master and has helped students to become good riders. On February 26, 1934, Edison Institute High School was opened and the eighth and ninth classes were moved up to Independence Hall. Mr. Herman Grophear was placed in charge of this group of twenty-one, teaching them all academic subjects. Shortly before the high school was estab- lished, on February 11 to be exact, publication of the school paper called the Herald was made. This paper is published every second Friday. In the fall of 1934 Miss Dorothy Trebilcock, now Mrs. Joseph Iseman, joined the high school teaching staff, taking over English and the social sciences. Mr. Robert Teeple, instructor at the Henry Ford Trade School, spent a half of each day at the high school giving instruction in mechanical drawing and drafting. The same year found the develop- ment of the music department with Mr. Harold Koch as supervisor and Mr. Robert Zahnow as assistant. Sports were also organized and Mr. Dall Hutchinson became the director. A new rec- reation building is the pride of all the Village stu- dents. When it is completed it will be one of the finest in the country. The Henry Ford Trade School offered possibili- ties of gaining industrial experience by teaching how to operate the various machines such as lathes, mills, shapers, drill presses, and by doing bench work. At first only the ninth and tenth classes were given this experience one day each Week, but later it was extended to other classes. In 1935, however, the boys were transferred from the Trade School and placed in the Engineering Laboratory, at Dearborn. Mr. Marvin Pushman was placed in charge of this industrial training in 1936, and Miss Irene Welsh took over the super- vision of the girls' practice in commercial office work at the same time. The high school has grown rapidly since its be- ginning in 1934. In 1935 Miss Betty Wallace was added to the faculty to teach biology and begin- ning commercial courses and Mr. Max Irland took charge of mathematical subjects and general sci- ence. In 1936 the faculty was further increased by the addition of Mr. William Russell, teaching junior high school social science and English. Mr. Mark Stroebel succeeded Mr. Teeple in the draft- ing department and also taught junior high school mathematics. Miss Margaret Schrubbe was hired to head the English department and Mrs. Helen Pletcher to teach advanced commercial work. With this large faculty many new subjects could be oHered the students. Radio work has always been a very interesting subject for students of the Edison Institute. This instruction is given by Mr. William Gassett of the Ford Motor Company. And so from the small group assembled in 1929, the school system has grown to include 189 pupils with a faculty of 18. It has thus been in existence eight years and has held to the early aim of giving boys and girls education through experience. 18 A MI ISTR T10 MR. HERMAN H. GROPHEAR MR. BENJAMIN B.

We, the students, are offered many opportuni- ties. It gives us a change from the daily routine of living. For myself, I have found the quaint old Village and its unique little buildings very enjoy- able and there is nothing I like better than spend- ing a few minutes each day exploring new and interesting sights. There are many hobbies of which boys as well as girls can partake, such as horseback riding, manual training, making pottery, and weaving. My particular field seems to be in the Carding Mill. I can safely say I believe I have learned something that will be of benefit to me in later years. In this way I think our school has not only given us an enjoyable pastime, but also practical expe- rience. ' EILEEN BARTH N my four and a half years at this school I am I sure I have accomplished a good deal more than I would have at any other school, because I've been near the buildings that at one time housed great men and women. Their lives seem to be a part of my education as it was very interesting to see what they had to work with, the kind of school they attended, and what they accomplished. I wouldn't have enjoyed living in that day and age after having all I have had now. At the Carding Mill I have been shown how the people of other generations made the material for their clothes. I have been instructed how to weave just as they did. I found it an easy task, but I suppose if I had lived in that time I wouldn't have enjoyed doing it half so much. Then there is the Suwanee boat that shows us how people had to travel long ago. Not so very far away from the Village the Ford boats steam up and down the river. Once more I have evidences of progress. I enjoy seeing all these symbols of the old and the new, and I know I have learned a great deal from such an environment. School at Edison Institute has been a combina- tion of study and play, and I shall look back on these years as some of the happiest in my life. MARJORIE SCOTT IN a school whose purpose is to discover and de- velop the interest of its students, I've been given the opportunity to start the thing that Iive been interested in ever since I was able to sit at the piano by myself. After I had grown older, and knew more about everything in general, I got a great deal of pleasure in listening to organs and symphony orchestras on the radio, and to our player piano at home. After I had been granted the privilege of attending this school, the first event of the school day was the chapel program every morning. It was during these services as I listened to the organ that I found the desire to see and play it, since I had so often listened to organs on the radio. From this I expressed my desire to take lessons on the organ, permission for which was very willingly granted. From then to now, I've been studying the organ. Lately, I have been taking lessons on the piano also, and have been studying composition theory. Of course, I have other interests, some of which are sound produced by electrical instruments, and acoustics, as far as musical sound is concerned along with high fidelity reproduction. This also takes in recording instru- ments, of which I plan to build one, since I have already built a high Hdelity reproducer and a solid walnut cabinet for it. Right at this time I'm work- ing on a dynamic recording head for cutting high fidelity records Cmagnetic heads being the only ones used nowj. I intend to follow it right through until it works. This school encourages all things such as these as well as giving all the help needed. All this has given me encouragement, and loads of experience, which I'll never forget. This also in- cludes the persons that make all this possible. J oHN WEEKS T seems to me that most of my time in school has I been occupied with trying to stretch the limited amount of spare time that I had to cover the ex- tensive number of things I wanted to do. Radio has claimed much of my time since I have been an active member of the radio club, and I also have found time for athletics, including football, bas- ketball, and track. I enjoyed singing with the chorus and working for two years with the Herald as sports editor. As to my future, I shall do a bit of farming this summer and take up metallurgy when I return to school.

Opportunity is everywhere, and if a person hap- pened to show a particular talent, such as, singing, radio, speech, etc., he was allowed a lot of time to improve himself as well as enjoy himself. We have had an unusual chance to study from books and get actual practice that will help us in later life. We have had social training and physical train- ing with dancing and horseback riding. I feel from my education right now that I could go out and safely hold down a job in an omce. My ambition is to be a radio singer and to be a good one. I have had a real opportunity to develop my voice in singing occasionally on the Thursday morning broadcasts and the great opportunity of singing on the Ford Sunday Evening Hour. I believe through my singing that I have learned how to face an audience with ease. The competi- tion I will have in singing will make me want to do better work each time I sing. MARGARET LEE Voommss THE benefits that I have derived from this school are numerous. In our chapel service every morning before our classes, I have overcome ex- cessive timidity before audiences. Three years on the Herald staff have given me the opportunity of writing many different types of news articles and the ability to express myself more clearly. Weav- ing, sewing, and art have all held very important positions in my high school years. As the secretary and chairman of the Edison Institute Council, I have received an invaluable course in parliamen- tary procedure and have learned to deal with stu- dent problems. Because of the practical application that has been given us in connection with all our studies, we are going out into the world with the actual working knowledge of all we have learned. Perhaps I might add that the fulillments of men's ambi- tions and achievements that lie all around us are a source of everlasting inspiration and a cause to make more than average endeavor to achieve our goal. IBABELLE C. GASSETT 'r gives me a great deal of pleasure to be a mem- I ber of the first graduating class of the Edison Institute High School. We have had a great many opportunities. We have learned by experience. We have not just had things explained to us, but we have tried these things out and really experimented by ourselves. Of the various activities that have been offered to me I enjoyed horseback riding along the bridle path in the Village perhaps the most of all. The drama class has been one of my favorites as has been the chorus class. I also liked to stay at the Secretary House. There I have gained a practical knowledge of the art of housekeeping. Being able to work at the oflice also appealed to me. It gave me a chance to see how the work was carried on and I received some profitable training. I know this experience is going to aid me when I decide my profession for later years. CORINNE Losxowsxm LL high schools should be established with one A purpose in mind-to teach the pupil, not the subjects. Also they should help him decide where his interest lies and then encourage him. He should be taught to use his hands as well as his mind, to develop his varied interests to a point where one is outstanding. The Edison Institute High School not only has shown me the work which I have found held my interest but also has allowed me to follow this interestg namely, chemistry. To me it opens a wide field of opportunity, and I like the work, which is the most important thing. Analytical chemistry is the work which I hope to follow in the future. I looked forward as all seniors did to our graduation, but I look forward even more to my future educa.- tion to be received right here at Edison Institute. ROBERT PIPER I THE SENIOR CLASS Qcontinued I FEEL that the type of education I have received at Edison Institute will be of direct benefit to me in later life. A combination of practical experi- ence and theoretical training is sure to result in preparing students for the occupations they will be interested in when they begin to earn their own living. WILBUR DONALDSON WHEN I received my invitation to attend the Edison Institute High School, I was glad of the chance but not over enthusiastic because I didn't fully realize the type of education that was to be offered me in this school. I soon discovered that along with the academic course there was a chance to develop my practical education through actual work on motors, bodies, and machining in the shop. This point, I believe, is the outstanding trait of our high school. Our training proceeds with an eye for the future. Among the more definite occupations We re- ceived training for are the following: chemical en- gineering, mechanical engineering, and radio and electrical engineering. There were a few side courses such as photography, and training for playing the organ. I was allowed to design and work on a Diesel motor. I am now trying 'to complete a small one- cylinder engine of the two-stroke cycle type. I think I have a better chance of succeeding in future life because of this practical education, for it has laid the foundation for my mechanical education. ROBERT WALKER I HAVE spent only three years of my high school here, but I have experienced something much different in this time from any other part of my school career. One of the first thrills I received was the rebuild- ing of my Model T. I started by taking the body off, then the motor, and overhauling the motor, scraping it down, reboring it, painting it, etc. Next the body was painted and the seats upholstered, then I installed the motor, replaced the body, and the car was all set to run. I have had some of the best experiences of my school life in the Model T. I went from there on to different machines, lathes, milling machines, grinders, etc. I was then able to make some little steam and gasoline engines. I perfected a steam engine. In my academic work I've had some very worthwhile experiences. FRANK CAMPSALL, J R. THE Edison Institute High School oHers varied opportunities to all types of students who at- tend. The textbook is not the only source of knowledge. Practical shop training is taught by acquainting the student, through the aid of the museum, with the various methods employed years ago, including the improvements made up to the present time. In the shop, the operation of complicated machines such as lathes, milling ma- chines, and grinders is taught. Other crafts are taught also. Woodworking, electrical applications, and a knowledge of steam and fuel burning engines are learned by working with them. There are many forms of recreation. Horseback riding, sports, and old-fashioned ,dancing are among them. Our radio club and photography combine education with recreation. The Secretary House offers social train- ing and a center for parties. The Martha-Mary chapel with its daily morning services and the dis- tinguished men and women whom we have heard there will leave lasting impressions. The influence of being daily in the atmosphere of the surroundings of Edison's achievements in Menlo Park, the Lincoln Court House, and Mr. Ford's shop on Bagley Avenue has been in itself an education to me.

MZAXAM4 THE SENIOR CLASS Qconcludedj I DEEM it a great honor to be one of the first grad- uates of the Edison Institute High School. It is the only school I have ever attended that has such an ideal environment. In addition, there have been many wonderful advantages and opportunities afforded us. I have tried to make use of as many of these advantages as I could. One of my greatest enjoyments is weaving, and I feel that I have gained a great deal in the art of weaving. Then, too, I have obtained knowledge from the Secretary House along the line of house- keeping. All in all, I think I have received something to be proud of and also something that I can look back upon in my future life. DOROTHY RICHARDSON DWING my four and one-half years in Edison Institute High School I have had the oppor- tunity to follow the Held I preferred. I was able to follow the field Of mechanics. My first step was in learning the scraping and the use of micrometers on brass block, and show- ing the necessary practice required and accuracy needed to make a precision block. My next step was in dismantling and assembling -a Model T Ford car. It was fun and also educational. I took steps in making a one-cylinder gas engine, and I learned that it is not so simple as it looks. There are quite a few parts and operations to do, and the making of the engine is interesting. It is these opportunities that I believe have given me a chance to broaden my knowledge, and give me a better idea as to what I may choose when deciding a career for my future life. KENNETH PETRAK IN my high school days in the Edison Institute I've found an education far better than I had expected. I've found it a pleasure to learn. The radio station and its equipment have given me an idea of what I may do in later life. Nothing has been put in the way of my learning all I can in radio. However, a high school education should be broad, so I spent the other part of my hours in the shop and in the various classrooms. WILLYS MCCLOUD IN a school which combines theoretical with prac- tical education, unusual opportunities are of- fered for the development of one's interests. I have gained knowledge from actual experience as well as from books. Knowledge gained in this fashion is more benencial and lasting. I enjoy riding and weaving. By being school librarian I have acquired a taste for good litera- ture and enjoy reading. In staying at the club- house I have assimilated, through practical expe- rience, a knowledge of cooking. These are only a few of the many activities in which I indulge. Be- ing in an environment such as this, one can't help learning and understanding the progress our civili- zation has made, and working so that we can do our part to make it progress further. DOROTHY CHUBBUCK THE JUNIOR CLASS HEN school began at Green- field Village eight years ago, a group of nine-year-olds proud- ly claimed the position of being the oldest class in the school. They were lofty fourth graders. They are now the junior class, and next year will mark the graduation of this first group. The class is small but has given many evidences of having those qual- ities so necessary for leadership. The eight boys are all great sport enthusi- asts and they form a very vital part of the varsity baseball, basketball, and football teams. The four girls are also athletes and show much ability on the basketball floor, on horse- back, and on the tennis courts. Po- tential musicians, dancers, and wri- ters are also active members of the eleventh class. The Herald is edited by one of the junior girls, Betty Hutchinson. Dramatic ability is very evident in the class and many impor- tant roles in school plays have been assigned to the members. The eleventh class students are among the leaders in the social life of the school. Clubhouse parties are well attended by them. They have offered many novel suggestions for peppy gatherings and their aid is often solicited because of so much originality. School projects are often headed by members of the class. The junior class is particularly proud of the museum project it com- pleted this year in which it traced the development of American manufac- turing after the year 1812. The stu- dents did this by furnishing a home of that period with as much Amer- ican-made furniture as possible. The class, in addition, traced the history of the growth of furniture. The class looks forward to the time when it becomes the oldest class again.

This class seems to have more horseback riders than any other. This is particularly true of the girls, who ride in the Vil- lage at their every Opportunity. The sophomores boast many clever pho- tographers, who spend their working days and spare time taking candid and formal pictures. Several Of the boys are musically inclined, and their assortment of instruments helps to form Our school orchestra. One of the projects of this class was the drawing and building of the Treasure Island that Stevenson im- mortalized. The students worked dili- gently at this task and upon Comple- tion, it was something worthwhile. The tenth class girls are particu- larly interested in the clubhouse and ORE CLASS its activities. Many of them stay one night every week. These girls have steadily improved in their attempts at mastering cookery, and now one should really taste their meals! This class has several people who are inter- ested in declamation and debates, and many of them show definite tal- ent in this direction. They have sev- eral important members On the H er- ald staff. There are students in this class who are excellent mathematicians and the boys show great interest in chemistry. The study and operation of radio appeals to the tenth class boys, and several of them have joined the Radio Club. Weaving is expertly done by many of the girls of the class. The most outstanding quality of this group is its enthusiasm to do things. They work well together and the result is that they are regarded as one of the most outstanding classes.

Needless to say they are a peppy group of boys and girls. The class boasts several good ath- letes and school spirit evinces that the entire group is athletically-mind- ed. The girls serve as excellent rooters for their boys and spur them on to victory. Dramatic ability is very evident in the freshman class. When occasions arise needing special speakers, the members of the ninth class are very often chosen to do this Work. A great number of these boys and girls have conducted radio programs, or have recited poems on these programs. A freshman girl, Mary Jean J orae, rep- resented the school in a recent speech demonstration for junior high schools in Dearborn. As a class perhaps the freshmen have not achieved prominence, but as individuals they have attracted a great deal of attention. When they become older and begin to assume more responsibilities, it seems certain that this individual prominence will be replaced by class prominence. KEY TO PICTURESVON OPPOSITE PAGE 1.

LYNN SMITH 34 THE EIGHTH CLASS LTHOUGH we have humorously tagged the eighth class the baby class, we must now qualify our statement, for they have indeed shown signs of growing up. A class that is the youngest in years often has a problem on its hands, when it is forced to buck against the remarks and attitudes of the older students. However, we respect these coming leaders, because they have shown consistent and noticeable im- provement in all their eHorts. In this, their first year of declama- tions, they displayed remarkable tal- ent and we were surprised at the ease with which they delivered their ora- tions. One can see that they are learning to cultivate poise and assur- ance already. The eighth class also has an able cartoonist amongst them, for one little lad made a clever draw- ing for the cover of a scandal sheet that we published. The older classes are not the only ones who have talent in vocal solos, for there is a young lady in this baby class, Catherine Miller, who has a charming voice, and many times she has been an indi- vidual performer on our broadcasts. This group of students recently fin- ished a project in connection with the Village and museum, where they completely furnished the little Log Cabin in the Village. The pupils made an extensive study and research into this matter, and are to be com- plimented for this work so well done. Many new things lie before the babes,', and if they continue to tackle their future problems as they have tackled the ones which con- fronted them this year, We can expect to hear big things about them.

WILBUR DONALDSON , K Iaclztor MRS. ISEMAN Admsor 40 EDI NSTIT TE COUNCIL nn COUNCIL was organized two years ago. It serves as an executive body for the school. At its regular meetings held weekly it has solved many school prob- lems and has handled whatever discipline problems eame before it with the seriousness and sincerity befit- ting such a group. One of the first aceomplishments of the Council this year was to draw up a constitution which was presented to the student body and ratified. Its organization consists of two representatives eleet- ed from each class in the high school. The council has been very aetive in promoting various activities in the sehoolg such as, organizing committees for the exhibits, arranging for the selection of the school ring, creating a Lost and Found Department. and performing many other functions with great ettieiency. The bulletin board in the upper corridor has been used to inform the students of the activities of the coun- eil and to keep them in touch with every move it has taken. The council has done very good work, and the entire student body respects its decisions. ISABELLE GASSET I' Chairman MR. RUSSELL A dvzsm' S'- +1 . -r . -M . f . . A, --uf. , JL. ,f....r.-J.

Harold Koch, music director of the school system. , .. ssl-, .411-E.. ., 42 MR. LOVETT OCIAL TRAINING and the ART of DANCING on the past eight years the students of the Edison Insti- tute have been enjoying an activ- ity wl1ich is an important part of their educational training. Be- sides furnishing them with health- ful exercise, dancing has supplied them with grace, poise, and that correct dcportment which is so essential in all their social con- tacts. The pupils are also taught how to hold their partners cor- rectly, and how to conduct tl1en1- selves in the best manner on the dance floor. Ballroom training is the foundation for all that is graceful, pleasing, and unaffected on social occasions. In other words, the student learns how to behave with ease, grace, and con- sideration for the feelings of oth- ers, which are the marks of every true lady and gentleman. This past year the older stu- MRS. LUV ETT dents have had the opportunity of giving demonstrations of their dances in various interchange pro- grams with other junior high schools in Dearborn, and a group of them also took part in a danc- ing exhibition at Fordson High School in the early part of May. 43 Not only have the students been getting a great deal of pleasure out of their dancing classes, but they have been learning some- thing that will be even more valu- able when they grow olderz some- thing which they will carry with them throughout their lives. Mr. and ltlrs. Benjamin B. Lovett have had the training of these children of the Edison Insti- tute schools since their inaugura- tion, and it nmst be a source of gratification to these instructors to see how far their pupils have advanced in physical graces and social accomplishments. Dancing is one of the constituents of a pleasing personality. if 41' J HERE are 64 members in the high school chorus. The students ffl! 9 J X X' :ff ft jf! J s Tfrom the ninth through the twelfth classes are included in this group. The chorus is an elective subject and its popularity is evident in the number which chose to join the class. The class is under the direction of Mr. Harold Koch with the assistance of Mr. Robert Zahnow. John Weeks, one of the senior boys, is the accompanist. The chorus has been singing at the different schools in Dearborn the past year in interchange programs. Here the members of the chorus have had an opportunity to observe other choruses and see the type of work they were doing. The chorus quite frequently sings at the chapel services and the student body is proud of its line work. It has been heard over some of our Thursday morning broadcasts, and its greatest experience was to serve as guest artist on the Ford Sunday Evening Hour on May 2. JOHN WEEKS MR. KOCH MR.

However, the main purpose of this house is not merely to act as a center for parties but also to serve as a place where home training would be practiced. The girls of Edison Institute are taught to cook, to budget money, to order and purchase supplies, to set tables with taste, and to act as charming hostesses. This is a very important part of the life of a woman, and, if she can perform the above duties with skill and charm, she will never have a moment of uneasiness v- . , - is Yr :R '- 5. 4 . rw , Q i Ll rf ' ' V, ff ..

It is upon these occasions that they receive their home training. The girls look forward to their stay for it is always a pleasant time for them. Mrs. Agnes Elliott is the hostess and supervisor. Many novel parties have been held at the Secretary House. Some start out as hay rides or roller skating parties, but always wind up at the Secretary House. Here the gatherings come to pleasant conclusions with the usual dancing and good food. A recent bicycle party at the clubhouse found many a younger brother and sister missing their vehicles, but smug in the promise of candy i or spending money for the temporary loan. 51 The scavenger hunt sent the boys and L girls all over Dearborn hunting for unusual 3 and, in cases, impossible objects. Mrs. Ray ,f Dahlinger has been very helpful in arrang- if ing these parties and has become a dear gs friend of the boys and girls because she is 1 always so willing to cooperate with them. i f . - . ..l.,,:I I A .

The paper is made up of material sent by the schools associated with Edison Institute, and is . ' - 1 edited by a stad of students from the high schoo .

Formerly they did their weaving in t.he Carding Mill, but last summer a new building was erected behind the Carding Mill. Every afternoon after school one will find some of the girls busy working on their looms. They select their own colors and designs. make their own warp up, and set up the looms. Most of the girls started out by making lunch- eon sets. They gave them away as gifts or, if they cared to, they left them in the Carding Mill to be sold to the visitors. They also made scarfs of gay colors, and table runners. Most of the girls made coverlets, or are busy working on them now. They also wove coat material. Young boys and girls of the Village have also become weaving enthusiasts, and it seems to us the children of olden times could not have done any better work. YVeaving has developed greatly in the past year, and many fine pieces of work were displayed at a recent school exhibit. hir.

ACH Thursday evening the Edison School gymnasium was used by the girls from the Edison Institute who had many enjoyable times play- ing basketball. Many girls attended so regularly that they were grouped into four separate teams. The girls elected four captains: Irene Stead, Dorothy Chubbuck, Barbara Shel- drick, and Betty Hutchinson. Each team selected the name of a bird for its team name. The Cardinals, Starlings, Orioles, and Bob O' Links were chosen for titles. The evenings were divided so that two games could be played. The season permitted each team to play a series of nine games. Good sportsmanship and team play were very apparent as the season progressed. The girls looked forward to each basketball night, and enjoyed the games very much. The season's high scorers were led by Dorothy Chubbuck and Mary Eleanor Ritenour who gathered a total of 99 points each. Dorothy Richardson a11d Jane Preston closely followed with 97 points apiece.
