For the seniors, this is a cli- max to their high school experiences, one which will never be forgotten, one that is older than the school itself, the one which the faculty and the student body hope always to continiue. In 1915, forty-five seniors earned 255000 toward making the trip pos- sible: while the record year of 1940 saw 319,441 earned by 475 boys and girls. To Miss Lou Babcock, assistant principal, who has long had charge of this huge undertaking, the senior class and the school at large owe a debt of gratitude for its very great success.

You as a son, and we as a classmate, but he was a fellow who Could stand a lot of knowing, and a fellow not easily forgotten. Now the time is gone for knowing. Now only remembering is possible. And Jerry will be remembered. Don't you think for a minute that he won'tl We cannot forget .Ierry's good nature, his class spirit, or tIerry's Jeanne. 'We will always think of him as he was in high school, quick on the trigger for fun and laughs and friends. There were mighty few activities which he didn't show up in somewhere. He was welcome everywhere. too. and that's the way we remember him. YVe're glad about one thing-that none of us. not even Jerry himself realized that his life was so fragile a thing. The knowledge, either for him or for us. that he was living on borrowed time, would have been too dark a shadow to be bearable. Death is not a fact that often comes close to young people like us. We are glad that it came for him with no suffering and no fear. He finished, and finished well. one part of liv- ing. graduated with a line record. He had a good job that he liked. He was happy. This is Consolation. But there is still sadness and still empti- ness for you and for us. On Class Day he was crowned King of the Gangfy NVe think that's a pretty important title.

Their venture was such a success that the following class determined to visit the capital also. 'l'hough both classes and trip have expanded, the ery is still On to XVashington.'l The tradition is actually older than the school build- ing. XVhile the latter is celebrating its twenty-filth anniversary this year, the trip is celebrating its twenty- ninth, having begun while high school classes still met in the Ferris building. Nothing is quite so exciting as the eventful morning when, alter at year ol' parties and teas, everything is ready, and bag in hand the senior boards the train. The next six days are filled with events he'll never forget. N Following the lilteen hour ride to the capital, the class goes directly to the lamous XVillard Hotel, which is their home in XVashington. The next two days are lilled with sight seeing-Mt. Vernon, Alexandria, the Capitol building, where Congress meets, the Library ol' Congress, Mount St. Alban's Cathedral, and Arling- ton Cemetery, where many national heroes are bttried. Returning to Wfaslrington, the seniors are taken directly to the boat which carries them to Norfolk. Virginia. Sightseeing buses then convey the party to Jamestown, our first settlement, Yorktown, where we won our freedom, and the reconstructed town of XVilliamsburg. Back in lVashington the next morning the seniors visit the Bureau olf Printing and Engraving, the X'VZlSll- ington Monument, the Pan American Building, and the Old National Museum. The party is then transferred to the Union Station in XVashington, whence they leave lor the return trip home.

This quartet of ollieers was completed by Andrew 'l'hotnp' son and Reggie Clubb, who aeted as secretary and treasurer respectively.

Aluniors were orl' to a rous- ing start with the So Long, Seniors dance they gave in honor of that class. Bob Zemer, Bob Meek, Audrey Hughes, and Bill Decker, class oilieers, took charge of junior affairs. Cooperating with the IIA's on the So Long, Sen' iors dance was the llli class of which Allen Brett is president. Other oilieers are Kenneth Hlandel, Jayne Klees, and .lane Harrison. This group visualize a bright future for their class. Jane Harrison, Jayne Klees, Kenneth Wandel, and Allen Brett are taking seriously their responsibilities as officers of the llB's. 35 hese officers led the january 1940 sophs through their first -ar in high school.

Robert Rodgers and Eugene Callaghan originated this movement to bring the sophomore class into the limelight of school activities.

Alter a stall' had been chosen lrom among members ol' the class, the Soph Soap was born, its slogan being, 'ASmall, But Ambitious. As I0-B's these ven- tutesome newcomers plll out two issues at two cents a copy. On becoming 10-A's they asked the cooperation ol' the new I0-B's and made the paper an all-sopho- more project, containing news of both classes. 'l'wo issues were sold at fic a copy. Members ol' the stall' for both terms included. in addition to the ollicers: Louise Bushnell, littgene Cal- laghan, Delphine Halm, Frances Reid, Bob Rodgers. and Beryl lVhite. Circulation staff consisted ol' Zel- phia Nasser, Pearl 'l'alerico, 'l'helma XVheeler. Dick l.utey, Shirley Davies, .lane Harrison, Beverly Stan- ley, Chester XXV.-lls, 'l'om Robberson, and Daisy Sly- held. lVhen in I0-B. the class sponsored an afternoon dance for all students, and in the I0-A, a get-au quainted dance for sophomores. Because they charged only a penny and gave away lree lollipops, they appropriately named their IO-A affair, Penny Pop l'rance. Red and white, selected by the ollicers as class colors. were used as the theme ol' this dance. As a mixer each student was given the name ol' a movie star or prom- inent character. and thus they were paired ofl' lor one 36 Lewis Knickerbocker, senior president, congratulates the tenth-grade officers on their election.

Publicity. in the lorni of posters for all these sophoniore projects, including Soph Soap, and hoth dances, was under the leadership of Pat Jones. Xl'ith brushes, soap, and a pail ol' water, ntetnhers of the class set out, on -fan. lil, ISHI, to wash the Polar Bear. However, despite the hearty efforts of the scruhbers, the Polar Bear reniains the satire shade as before his hath, as apparent at the unveil- ing ccreinonies held the next day. 'l'he unveiling played second fiddle, how- ever, to the presentation ol' two large Anrer- ican flags to the school hy Charles lVeikel on hehalf of the class ol' january, 1913. These flags, purchased as a gilt to the school with profits from the Soph Soap and dances, were placed hehind the Polar Bear at hoth sides in holders which had held flags during the XVorld lVar. XVith this, the sophomores ended their first year in Senior High and looked for- ward to new activities in their junior year. , New class officers were .Xllen Brett, presi- dent: Kenneth XX'andel, vice president: -lane Harrison, treasurer. and -fayne Klees. , secretary. t A group of stttdents who had lortnerly worked on Soph Soap staff started a U'ashington Trip project hy forining a players' guild to present fairy: tales lor the grade schools. 'l'heir first performance was at Ferris School where they gave Helga and the XVhite Peacock. Money niade front tickets sold will go into the XYashington Trip fund.

DURING THE PAST quarter century enthusiasm for extra-curricular activities, so essential for a well rounded out program, has been much in evidence at Highland Park. Back in the early days, debating teams seriously discussed woman suffrage, one-cent letter postage, and bird plumage on women's hats. The results of the beauty and popularity contests were eagerly awaited by the school at large. As times change, new clubs are formed to meet new inter- estsg but the HQPS4 and Hi-Y are still carrying on, each claiming recognition as the oldest club. The Carnival, All-School Comedy, and Christmas pag- eant are looked forward to with great eagerness every year. Perhaps the students of 1966 will be participating in the 'KOn to Mars and the Be Forever Young clubs.

PULL Mos'1't:Nt.stTAl.ol the many activities that the Student Association carried on in the course of tl1e year, was the mock presidential election, held in early Novem- ber. lt was very well supervised and run oil with the elliciency of a real contest. Results in this mock election were, with the excep- tion of one ollice. just as the real election tttrned Olll. Roosevelt and XVallace ran away with the Republican team ol' XYillkie and McNary. lNlurray VanXN'agoner swept past ex-governor Dickinson, but Fitz- gerald triumphed over Vanden- berg in the sentorial race. Other state oilicers voted upon were lieutenant governor, secretary ol' state, secretary of the treasury, commissioner of highways, and superintendent ol' public instruc- tion. Ten days before the election. students came to the auditorium from their social science classes to register. Teachers had previously instructed the students how to register and vote to facilitate the handling ol' 2,000 pupils. On the day ol' the election, classes were called every hour ol the day. There were three pre- cincts, one in the physics room. one in the auditorium, and the last in the Spccirlfor ollice. Booths borrowed from the city were used. lVhen a pupil entered the precinct, he filled out an application for a ballot. The handwriting on the registration card and that on the application were checked. If they matched, a numbered ballot was given the voter. Alter voting l1e handed the folded ballot to the inspector, and it was deposited in the ballot box. Chairmen ol' the three precincts were Leslie Honey- cutt. Gurdon Pullord, and Nora Altman. Lee Omans was laculty head. 43 Girls' Club members are fgulbered al the lop! Ann Donnelly Gladys Wilkenson, Ulaine Hornby, Marjorie Badge.

Last fall when the Renclerk Digest put out its Spanish edition, the club members promptly bought two subscriptions to be sent to South America-one to a student and the other to a teacher. Picnics at Palmer Park during the l'all and spring, supper meetings in the winter, and a banquet consti- tute the club's activities. This organization assisted at the Senior Carnival by selling novelties and llowers.

Started in l92ti by C. E. .-Xltetiburg, science instruc- tor, the Biology Club has ever since boasted a varied range of activities. Included are spreads, trips, and panel discussions. Dr. H. F. Zangerl, a Swiss scientist, was one ol' the outstanding speakers of the year. The only requirement for entrance is an interest in biology. Au interest in history holds the group of girls to- gether who comprise the Clio Club. Greenheld Vil- lage, among other points ol' interest, was visited by these energetic young women.

TE -PI EXPERTS SECUNIJ ONLY to baseball as a national sport, bowling has increased by leaps and bounds in recent years. Having had its beginning in places where no Indy would be seen, it has advanced to large, clean recrea- tion centers where every one is welcome. Highland Park High School has two bowling clubs, a boys' and a girls'. The boys' club was organized about six years ago under the direction ol Basil Hause, commercial teacher. In previous years they met teams from other schools. This year they have teams of hve which play against each other, and every boy keeps a continuous record of his games. They bowl once a week at the Highland Park Recreation Center on Lallelle Avenue. Each bowling ball weighs about sixteen pounds. A perfect. games is three hundred points.

The girls, not wanting the boys to be too many jumps ahead of them, started a girls' bowling club last fall with Anna Heavens, then a 1013, at the head. There are now about forty girls in the club, who bowl every week at the Highland Park Recreation Center. They had teams of four with two spares who played against each other, but the girls decided it would be more lun to bowl individually. Girls, balls are slightly lighter than those the boys use, and their scores range from one hundred nine- teen points downward. Mrs. Enid Button ol the com- mercial department sponsors the club and meetings are conducted very informally with Irene Moy as president, Connie Brott as vice president, and Marie Schell as secretary-treasurer. The boys and girls have never bowled against each other, mostly because the girls say they don't want to be beaten too badly.

In the second round of the contest sponsored by the University of Michigan Forensic Association, George Bushnell repeated his victory of last year by again winning first place in extcmporaneous speaking in the sub-district contest. Jeanne Van llevort took second place in declamations. Lucille Sims represented Highland Park in drama- tic reading, the new division, with her selection The Higltwaynianu by Alfred Noyes. She took the dic- tionary in the sub-district contest. The dcclamation division, which requires memoriz- ing a part of a famous speech and the oratorical divi- sion, which calls for the writing of one's own speech, were the divisions in which Highland Park first took part in the speech held. Extemporaneous speaking was added some years later. This requires tl1e ability to prepare a talk in a limited time on a subject selected by a committee. This spring, Highland Park was represented for the first time in dramatic reading. In this division, the participants give poems, essays, and parts of plays in a dramatic fashion. Active members of the debate team, under the coaching of Robert Reinhart of the English depart- ment, were Nora Altman, Charles Raymond. Evelyn Mutcrsbaugh, Alex Trout, Robert Zemer, Charles lVeikel, jack Macllonald, and Norman Hlelch. This energetic team debated with other schools through- out the first semester, won few victories, but learned much.

The band, whose services include civic' parades, such as the Clean-up, Paint-up, Fix-up, clrive, cledi- cation exercises. strappy martial music on the gridiron, and on the basketball courts, and Thanksgiving par- ades. seeks to build, and succeeds in building, musi- ciians. Biggest event ol' the year is the annual spring con- cert. presented by the band and orchestra. Other acti- vities include indoor concerts, playing at pep meetings, and social events, such as tl1e All-School Comedy. and thc- senior play. The band every year turns out winners in the dis- trict. state. and national festivals. Students who placed this year in the coveted lirst division were as Iiollowsz Roy Rowland. cornet: Charles Sitnonian. trombone: Howard Fetherston. llute: lileanor Brown, violin: l.uc'ille Sims. llute: .Xnn lfetherston, oboe: Reuben Avesian. violin: Robert Tink, bassoon: .Iohn XX'ortlc-y. drums: and .Iaines Appleman. drums.

These awards were presented at Mich- igan State College in East Lansing. 58 The orchestra, which was founded in order to as- sist the school in social events, has grown through the years front 12 to 44 members. The banquet group, a subsidiary of the orchestra, is frequently called upon to play at luncheons and club meetings. They special- ize in clinner and incidental music. Reuben Avesian and Elaine Rathbun are student directors of the ban- quet. orchestra. The band originated many years ago when P. D. Miller, Philip XN'ollf. and Roy Vfaite, music: teachers. felt the need for such an organization. A class in band music tc-clniiclue was begun, which taught. scales, har- mony. and l'ormations. X'Vade XV. Crillith became di- rector ancl instructor in l9f37. The band 1llC11llDCl'S wear smart blue and white uniforms with gold stripes and braid. This uniform was adopted hve years ago.

Under the leadership of Mr. Prakken and Miss Babcock the faculty has enlarged from 44 persons in 1915 to a present 86: and meanwhile the school has main- tained a notable educational record, thanks largely to their sense of the greatness of the teaching pro- fession, and their dedication to the search for truth. Determined that the standards of teaching shall be ever conducted in a spirit dedicated to the American VVay of Life, the faculty at Highland Park High looks forward to the next glorious quarter century. ln his oHice, W'il- liam Prakken, principal, who commands a com- plete knowledge and understanding of Senior High, is ever ready to give advice. FHIE DLY DVISEHS Hiram..-xNn PARK HIGH Scnool. has always carried Ollt an advisory program far in advance ol the average school, Zlllll now a new plan is inaugurated. For the purpose of aiding each student in selecting his lile work, special classes meet once a week: this period is called simply guidance, 'lihe plan is new and un- tried, but is expected to increase in scope during the coming year. Back ol' many projects to help the pupil in his pres- ent life and future plans is found the principal. Wlil- liam Prakken, Aiding him in his work are the coun- selors, Miss Lou Babcock falso assistant principalj, Miss Isabel Macllonald and Luke Shannon.

Miss Babcock, counselor for the seniors, also has the task of helping the VVashington-workers in mat- ters of varying importance. The lad 'way behind in hours, and the lass Wondering what to wear on the long-awaited journey, are given equal attention. Mrs. Eva XVillis is in charge of student employment, and although she does her teaching in Junior College, nevertheless she fills a very important advisory role in Senior High. Through her efforts many a job-seeker has found part-time or steady employment, either while he is a student in school or when he graduates. Mrs. Willis finds jobs for students and Dick Guregian and Keith Pillsbury are busy looking up class schedules graduates alike. while Frances Thompson seeks counsel of Miss Babcock. 62 . 9 -.

Familar words aren't they? lVhat an important part the science of mathematics plays in these defense industries. How could they forge ahead with rapid strides were it not for this science? How could it keep up the rapid pace? Mathe- matics is essential to defense! But it is just as necessary to the average man or woman. Bank books, accounts, and the budget all depend on math. One never knows when it will come in handy. So students cover blackboards and reams of paper with digits and equations and plane figures, learning to solve the problems that will be so vital to them individually or nationally. Experiment, mother of science, is carried on as James Clark- son and Bob Caras work on a chemistry exercise. William Brown demonstrates a math problem on the black- board. SIIIE IIE BICHIND Tutti cztoslgn DOORS of the science lab busy minds are doing their best to figure out diflicult prob- lems in chemistry, biology, and physics. They work with technical equipment to prove this or that, but seldom do they realize the priceless training they are receiving, training that may result in their lile's work. The demand for trained scientists increases day after day and all scientilic-minded Highland Parkers are preparing to meet it by getting practical training in their particular line. Physics classes, for instance, spend part of their time ttsing electrical equipment and instruments designed to prove various laws. while the chemistry group studies with the aid of the test tttbe and biology students are shown concrete examples of their work, either by drawings or models.

The department does have, though, a ditto machine, twelve comptometers, a large adding machine and two hundred typewriters. The teachers in the department are especially fitted to teach subjects as they have all done othce work at some time. For those students who don't want advice on business, but just want to learn to type, there is a special personal typing class lasting half a semester which requires no set amount of work, nor does it give any credit. Practical advice is given to advanced stenography students in a secretarial training class, which comes closer to real ollicc work than any other.

ST DIES HISTCJRY USED TO BE memorizing dates and learning facts about war after war but in recent years it has changed considerably. Now the Highland Park his- tory department is endeavoring to prepare students for the present and future as well as for the past. One of the interesting classes is called government service and taught by Miss Therese Kneip. All oppor- tunities for students in government service through civil service, patronage, and election are looked up. They study the government set-up in a n1ore informal and individual manner than in other classes. This class is offered once a year, the second semester lor the 12-A's. Students are recommended because of their ability, interest, and possibility that they might want to enter government service. As far as it is known this is the only class of its order offered in the Detroit Metropolitan Area. The economics course used to have a traditional division of consumption, production, and exchange. Now Lee Omans and Mrs. Ella Culver try to give stu- dents an idea of the work being done by the govern- ment and something of the problems they are likely to meet when they graduate from high school. Em- phasis is placed on the consumer's point of view. The students discuss public utilities, the farming situation, capital, the Hoover and Roosevelt administrations, and why national defense is likely to bring inflation. Information is gathered from government bulletins that have to do with consumers research, consumer's union reports, the Family Dollar, a journal of con- sun1er's economics, and the newspapers. The class is college preparatory and open to the 12-A's. Latin American history is a recent addition to the social science. As our relations with South America Don Decker is student chairman for discussion of weekly news events. become closer our interests in South America are keener. For this reason the class taught by Mrs. Cath- erine Chewning was organized. It is offered to the twelfth graders the first semester of each year. The conditions and the way people live are brought out in sociology, taught by Mrs. Marjorie Cosgrove. It is for the l2-B's and gives college credit. The class that commercial and general students take is modern problems. Other classes are United States history for the eleventh graders which begins with the founding of America, world history, and general history for those who are enrolled in general or commercial courses. In all classes either the VVf's'kly News Reviezv or the f11l'1r'ri1'm1 Of1sr'rzfr'r is subscribed to by the students to help them keep up with present day affairs. Mrs. Mary Miss Therese Lee R.

English, public speaking, or dramatics? That is the question. For the really gifted, creative writing is offered in the ll-A. But let the common person bewareg this is a stiff course. He must be capable of turning out stacks of poetry, biographies, stories, ad inhnzfttnn be- fore he tackles this one. As for those taking ll-A English, they learn to use the Readers' Guide and other reference material in finding information on such subjects as vocations, school problems and world affairs. Except for the four-year Latin student, lit is com- pulsory for every twelfth grader. This world litera- ture covers literature of every age and country. lfVhile studying plays, the classes may hear Macbeth from records owned by the school, and later on they listen to contemporary authors reading their own poems from another set of records. Epics and essays are also read and closely analyzed. Other courses are radio script writing, acting and announcing, and penmanship, reading and corrective English. Some of .hese are substituted for Englishg others are electives. AN UAEE THE wAvE OF SOUTH AMERICAN interest has brought a new group of students into the Spanish classes this past year, and the two Spanish I classes are filled to overflowing. A few of the more ambitious beginners are writing to students living in South America. This custom greatly heightens interest in the Spanish work. French classes carry out the policy of the language department to acquaint pupils with the culture and civilization of the different countries, by occasionally singing the Marsellaise at the start of the day's les- son. In Latin, the writings of Caesar are found to be ad- mirably suited to the present day, especially those passages dealing with the warring habits of the Ger- mans. The Virgil class of seventeen members Qonly one boyfj thoroughly enjoy translating the story of Aeneas, and his attempts to find the destined site for the founding of the Roman race. Marjorie Parinenter, Bruce Henry, Doris Koranda and Jerry Finney discuss each other's compositions in creative writing. The three departments, Spanish, French and Latin, work together to publish a language magazine. Last year this project was a great success, even living up to its advance publicity. It furnishes everyone a chance to test his skill in the language he is valiantly trying to learn. Stories foriginal, of coursej , crossword puzzles, articles on customs of the far-away countries, and ter- ribly humorous poems on the difficulty of telling mas- culine from feminine, future from imperfect, are all printed in the booklet, which comes out in the spring. Editors from every class meet during the semester to develop the magazine. Norman Welch and Pearl Talerico demonstrate the use of the foil to provide understanding of a French play about duelling.

PHYSICAL EDUC TIIJ Sosnc Pl'1Ol'I.li THINK physical education is just physical education, year in, year out, with no change, but they are wrong. In the last few decades a trend has been creeping in which has meant a change in equipment, teaching methods, and the way people exercise. This trend is a transition from formal to inlormal physical edttcation. In the gymnasium ol' yesterday the gymnasts could be seen doing endless calisthenics. Today calisthenics, though used, are not stressed nearly to the same de- gree as they were, because the physical education de- partment is trying to show that exercising can be varied through games and that these games are lun, can double as a hobby, and are stimulating to the mind as well as being muscle developers. Highland Park students have a large choice of games to learn. There is equipment for tennis, bas- ketball, hockey, bowling, volleyball, baseball, golf, badminton and archery. 'l'he swimming pool makes possible instruction in swinnning and lile-saving. For developing muscles to social advantage, both modern and early American dancing are taught. Also, any- one needing special help in posture is enrolled in an orthopedic class. Here are future bookbinders. A new trade course has at- tracted a number of students this year.

The Highland Avenue project is designed to train girls for future homemaking as part ol a family, employing art and science in furnish- ing and decorating a real house. Cafeteria classes cover merchandising, cashiering, cost control, research. The third new idea-boys as well as girls at nursery school-is intended to help them become better parents by actual experience in a laboratory. Regular home' making classes have been broadened to study the so- cial conditions, as well as the sewing and cooking. necessary to make a home. for homemaking house at 140 Highland. MUSIC YIAHERE is A two-fold purpose at work in the music de- partment. One is to train young people as group musiciansg the other is to broaden the knowledge ol those people who haven't the talent to become musi- cians in order that they may appreciate the musicians' work. Instrumental instruction may be had in every orchestral instrument, first through technique study and then through training by sections ffor example, the stringsj, which culminates in orchestra member- ship. In vocal training one sings in a group, and then, if he desires special training as a soloist, he may enter the voice culture class. For anyone with creative abil- ity there is also a class in musical composition. Roy M. Wade W. Miss Madge Parsons, head Griliith Quigley 7' , f 4 -+221 -.

PHUVING BHUUN A S'l'UD1iN'l' Port. would undoubtedly eliminate mid- semester and final examinations. Yet many who had voted against exams would, after tl1e hrst year of cola lege, wonder and complain at the stiffness of the bluebook. This was the experience of the faculty of twenty years ago, before exams were instituted. Students and parents thought too much depended on an hour's test, that the strain on nerves did not result in a fair paper. These claims, thought the faculty, were well founded. But former students, then in college, did wonder at the bluebook's importance, did wish they had had experience in writing these tests in high school. Since then, students have overcome their nerves, generally kept with or above the average marking percentages for the country. Seniors are excused from their last Hnals because of confusion caused by the l'Vashington trip, gradua- tion, and college entrance exams. This leaves eleven testing periods during the high school life, which has proved to be ample practice for the college bluebook or civil service examination. Seats are assigned in advance by classroom teachers and papers distributed upon desks before the ex- aminees are admitted to the room. In an amazingly short time each student finds his place and falls to work. Only a few forget seat-numbers or End them- selves in the wrong place. 71 X -f v , a , s AN fn 1 fa-15 ., 1 1' .gazimi Y-'R -L f :fs 'F-Z -A.

I THE TAN XVINNING 'rutc E.-xs'r Lt-1At:t't-1 'l'l'l'l,lC and barely being nosed ottt ol' the city title were the accomplislnnents ol' the 1940 edition ol the Highland Park swimming team, ttnder the expert tutelage oli their new coach, N. R. Menold. Undeleated during the last three years, they were Iinally halted in their winning streak at Southeastern, when the Alungaleers took the last relay to win 37 to 34. Gerald Dilloe, ol' Southeastern, was responsible lor the defeat with an upset victory in the 100-yard free style. Despite this defeat the Parkers bottnded back to win the East League title with a margin ol' four points. In tl1e city meet, however, the l'arkers'. relay weak- ness showed, and Northwestern barely won Sl to 250. Climaxing their high school swimming careers, Gur- don Pullord and Pat Hayes were undefeated in their specialties. Pulford in the 220-yard free style and Hayes in the 100-yard breast stroke. lncidentally Hayes unolhcially broke the city record in his event, with a little of one minttte, six and fottr tenths sec- onds. His time, however, will 1101 enter the record books because it was not made in the city meet. During the Christtnas holidays, those members olf the team that could afford the money, accompanied by Coach Menold attended the International Aquatic Forum at lfort Lauderdale, Florida. The boys had a line time, and this excursion will no doubt be a yearly affair. Illustrating winning form are Gurdon Pulford and Pat Hayes, Coach Menold lends a helping hand. as he puts a finishing mainstays of the swimming squad. touch on his natators.

WITH EHAMPIIJ 5 HERl'I'S vottk cn.-xNc1-2 to give a cheer, H. 1'.! Your girls' swimming team has won every one of its meets this season: of course you know that this feat makes the Parker team undefeated for nine consecutive years. To start the season Southeastern and Northern are easily beaten in the home pool. The following week the Blue and XVhite surprisingly defeats the Cass team in its own pool. The Cass tanksters are considered quite superior because they include in their ranks three state champions. Meeting Northwestern in their pool and Redford in a home meet, they conquer each. So ends the sched- uled season. But lo! A message comes from Southwestern. They have heard of Highland l'ark's prowess and challenge their skill. So, trembling, the Parkers advance, en- counter the foe, and-conquer! Yes, by a margin of ten points Southwestern is Ollf-swlllll, the last possible challenger to the mythical city championship elim- inated. Captain Ellen Montgomery led her team by winning the diving in every meet, and being beaten only once in the 50 and 25-yard freestyle. All winter the pool record for -10-yard backstroke has been hotly contested by Clara Schallis and lietty Lord. At, present Betty is the record-holder with: 28.1 seconds. Dot Blasius, another outstanding back- stroker, now has the best time for 20-yard backstroke with: l2.Al seconds. SUMMARY H.I'. Opp. H.l'.

N THE Tllllllli BECAUSE OF THE COIWBINED EFFORTS of Coaches Chap- pell and Dyer, and also because of the abundant wealth of new material, the '41 thinclads have ceased to be the only sport that Highland Park was ashamed of, and have reached a new high standard which makes them a power to be reckoned with in the future. Meeting Miller in their hrst meet, the Parker thin- clads swept the relays, the 30-yard dash, the 220, 440, 880, and one mile runs to win with ease. ln the second and IHOSK exciting meet against Per- shing, the locals lost by only a few points. In this meet, Robertson set a new track record for the 220- yard dash. Placing sixth in the relays of the city semi-hnals, al- though no great feat, illustrated vividly that the Park- ers were on the way up, as they had never participated before. The Parker tracksters are divided into two sections: one the indoor track squad, and the other the outdoor team. The indoor thinclads are under the tutelage of Coach Chappell and must be content with the in- door track and the hrst floor corridor for their run- ways. Dwight Dyer coaches the outdoor squad, which practices at Wallace Field on the cinder track. Among the several factors hampering the track squads are the lack of adequate space and equipment and the poor condition of the track. However, more than half the varsity are returning next year, and with these the coaches hope for a very commendable team. Above: Scott goes over the top for Highland Park.

X'Vhen tl1e Polar Bear went to press, there were Hve 1natches remaining unplayed and therefore unreported. Returning from last year's squad were Glen Enos, Don McKay, a11d Jack Schuele to form a nucleus for this year's team. The rest of tl1e regular squad was made up of Bill Riggle, Bill Cosgrove, and Pete Cope- land. Although they lost the first match to a nationally rated Hamtramck squad by the score of 5-0, they in turn bounded back to defeat the Pershing Tin Hats by the same score. They next trounced Denby, losing only one of the Hve matches. In the last contest before the deadline they beat an inferior Cass Tech aggregation, 5-0, to post up three wins against one loss. WITH DIVIJT IIIEEEHS TJIVOT-DIGGISRS, as the yearbook went to press had won four 1natches while losing three. The team is made up of four players, namely: Bill Oberfelder, Bob Clark, Avery Jackson, and Jerry Finney. Unveiling against Hamtramck they won their initial match impressively. However, they lost their next three matches to Denby, Pershing, and Cass Tech, some being close scores. The golfers won their next two matches from East- ern and Miller by forfeit. This brought the Parkers up to a .500 average for the season. Playing Southeastern in the next match, the Parkers won 7-5, paced by Avery jackson, who carded an 81. This score was the lowest turned in by any Parker this year. Scores of the Northeastern and Northern matches came too late for publication. Still on the schedule for the Parkers is the city n1eet which usually takes place in the first or second week in June. 85 N THE Ill!-XMIJNIJ THE PARKER DIAMOND sQUAD, after reaching the semi- finals last year, were destined by the expert-expecters not to be so good this year and, consequently, were not doped to qualify in city competition. However, Coach Steamer Horning rounded up and molded a team that had, up to the yearbook deadline, easily defeated the six opponents it had met. Returning with only six veterans from last season's squad, the nine was whipped into shape and be- came one of the better teams in Highland Park fhistory. Among the six returning were three pitchers: Ted Gray, Lefty x'VlSCf111Z1H, and Harold Gelslighterg one infielder, Bill Young, one catcher, Syd Bone, and one outfielder, Angelo Coratti. Because of bad spring weather, the squad didn't get out into the open until only a couple of weeks before the first game. More than one hundred boys tried out, and fifteen made the grade. One of the first moves was to take Bone from behind the bat and put him on hrst base. The other infielders are Leonis, Young, and Pardon. Making up the outheld are Burt, Coratti, and Dickinson. Opening the season with Northeastern, the Parkers Players with championship aspirations are as follows: fleft row, top to bottomb Webster, Burdick, Coratti, Lionis, Dick- inson, Gray, fright row, top to bottomj Gelslighter, Wiser- man, Young, Baker, Burt.

Pitching for the Parkers was Ted Gray, who had the spectators in the over- packed crowd wondering whether they were fortunate enough to be able to watch a no-hit game. The Fal- cons got but one hit, a scratch single to left after two were out in the Hfth. Gray WCIII on to strike out ten batsmen in the six innings he worked. Hal Gelslighter pitched the last inning and was touched for a home- run. The score at the end of the game was 6-l. Bill Pardon led the Parker attack with three of the six hits they got. Playing Northern in the second game of the season the nine scored nine runs in the fourth inning and went on to win easily by the score of 9-1. Again Ted Gray twirled and allowed only four hits. Dave Dick- inson hit the only home-run in this game. Next 011 the schedule came Hamtramck, who went down before Gray fagainj by the score of ll-l. At last the daily newspapers rightfully labeled him one of the league's most consistent hurlers. The Parkers went into first place with Denby after beating Pershing 6-5 at l'Vallace Field. Besides run- ning wild on the bases, stealing third and home in succession, Anchor Coratti drove in the winning run., Although Gray didn't start the game, he won in a relief role, coming to the aid of Lefty VViser- man in time to pull the game out of the hre. Next on the schedule came the most crucial game of the season, the opponents being the Denby Tars, who had also played four games without a defeat. Again throwing Ted Gray into the fray, the Parkers eeked out an 8-6 victory and. went into the lead by Lefty Gray, mainstay of the pitching staff, about to fog one by the batter. 0116 game. Leading the attack on the offensive was Bill Pardon, who had three hits, a double and two singles. Denby used three pitchers trying to stifle the attack, while Ted pitched his usual consistent game. The Parkers leaped further into the lead by beating Cass Tech the next day by the score of 6-3. Instead of pitching Gray, Steamer Horning trusted in the sturdy arm of Lefty Wfiserman. It looked bad for the locals at the start as the first three Tech men walked. However, Mfiserman came to the rescue and saved the game for the Parkers. Although the PoI.AR BEAR went to press too soon for final results, the indications were that the Park- ers would soon add another to their long list of cham- pionship squads in various sports.
