It is with this in mind that we proudly present the 1958 Cardinal Echo. The Yearbook Staff The 1958 Cardinal Echo is dedi- cated to our principal, Robert C. Nunn in grateful remembrance of his kindly, inspiring leadership. His patience, fair judgment, and wise decisions are acknowledged by students and faculty alike. We extend to him our sincere appreciation and the hope that he may continue to be our leader in many years to come. M . Wtfwilf Weeks of preparation by the Student Council, many cases of coke, the pa rade, yelling cheerleaders, the football team, the band, all the floats, and last but not least, our beautiful queen and her lovely attendants all went together to make a fabulous Homecoming night that will long be remembered. As you see above, Dennis Rappuhn is driving some of the cheerleaders in the new convertible. We recognize Georgette Avakian, Linda Weldon Nancy Mack, Marlene Mlchels, Gayle Soper and Barbara Yeager. While to the right, we see drum major, Charles Pruett, escorting lovely Marian Av akian who will be crowned Homecom ing Queen for 1957. To the left the newly crowned queen gathers much applause as the band plays Let Me Call You Sweetheart. Above, last year's queen, Ruth Danyo, stands be- hind Marion with her smile of approval, while the court looks on. They are left to right, Dorothy Miller, Celeste Molnar, Barbara Benson. Ruth, Elaine Adams, .Tudy Wilkens, and Anne Marie Romaine. The Senior Lounge is a congenial meeting place. Here, Kasper Ohan- nasian, Dennis Rappuhn, Anne Ro- maine, Harry Keramidas, Bill Parent, Ray Danyo, Barbe Yeager, Dick Davis, and Janet Savard enjoy exchanging conversation and reading the latest Cardinal Call. Eager to have their picture taken, lots of the boys in the first lunch period insisted on posing. They seem to be enjoying all the delicious cafe- teria food that was prepared by our excellent cook, Mrs. Fabian and her assistants. The hall monitor system plays an im- portant part at Melvindale High. It keeps the corridors clear of wandering students during class periods. Every teacher is issued a metal pass. Trying to get through the halls without one is almost impossible. The moni- tors record all the traffic in the halls throughout the day. Here we see Gordon Monroe checking the necessary information from Nancy Mack's pass. Below, Jim Chapo, Betty Varner Jim Herrera and Tom Gee are looklng through the picture catalogue at some of the previous graduating classes ' .1 6 5 3 Q J l r, 3 ' 6' AG akin? Mwwif: '+ f if V -' .

CHORUS Our chorus, under the direction of Miss Sue Sarbaugh, provides musical entertainment in various programs during the school year. At the present time, these students, Greg Goldsmith, Nancy Mack, Janet Savard, Marion Scott, Marlene Michels, Ray Maurer and Kasper Ohannasian, don't seem to envy Ray Danyo, who is able to drive his car to school every day. Leaving school at three, he finds he has a flat tire. ff I 5 3 ,..., EE: ai ..... in W li! T N X 'L' m 6 1 n,. ,.

Our Board of Education has the interests of all children at heart. They try to do all in their power to provide educational opportunities for every student. Our good school is the result of excellent co- operation, the administration, the teachers, and the students, working together toward ever improving conditions for all. dl L. t R. M .

Semperger Assistant Superintendent- Instruction and Special Services In the long road to achievement, we must all face dlscouragementg and the man who cannot meet and laugh it off cannot get very far. We must learn to accept lt as a part of one's daily, monthly and yearly diet. Dlscouragements pop up for all, ln every nook and cranny, and from every angle. Many successful men bump along from pillar to post for years, and then un- expectedly somethlng happens. They strike fire, find their rlght work, make some good connections, and from then on their fortunes turn upward. In the meantime, they make the best of what they have, 'eat crow' when necessary, plod along, pocketed at times, uncom- fortable, dlssatlsfled, and so on, but always with the spark of hope in their hearts and optimism ln their souls. They keep going chln up, ever on the alert for the breaks, and anxious to capitalize on every opportunity or turn ln the tide. We all cannot be wonders. We all have possibilities and limitations, but we can do our best. More cannot be expected of anyone. The careers of successful men begin and end ln problems and discourage- ments which must be surmounted. It may be ill health, poverty, lack of education, enemies, lack of opportuni- ties, business conditions, the wrong job, bad breaks, even bad luck, and what not. But usually they can all be met and mastered lf you have the right spirit, the splrlt that wlll not be downed and that realizes dlscouragements are always to be expected. fa If you have that spirit, you can scarcely ll. Wtlllam 0. Abdon Assistant Principal 16 Events of the past year have posed the greatest CHALLENGE to American high schools in their history. Many studies are being made and countless opinions expressed which are designed to guide the schools ln meeting this challenge. It is my belief that the answer to the CHALLENGE wlll depend, to some extent, on new techniques, courses of study, and more funds for education. However, to an even greater extent, the answer wllldepend on the amount of tntegrlty and stamina in- herent ln our young people. Wlll they be able to face the tougher courses, more study, and better physical conditioning demanded of them? There ls evidence that many of our students at Melvlndale High School are able and wllllng to put forth this vltal effort. Let us hope that all of our students and faculty wlll respond to these new CHAL- LENGES ln the best American tradition. Robert c. Nunn.

In Jan- uary the Squad lost Anne Marte Ro- malne and Barb Benson to graduation. Barbe Yeager, Nancy Mack, and Mar- lene Michels graduated in June. Betty Varner is the only returning Varsity Cheerleader. Below are the five Junior Varsity Cheerleaders: L. to R.: Linda Weldon, Jo Marchio, Bobbie Hand, Georgette Av- alclan, and Gayle Soper. Junior Varsity Cheerleaders are a part of the Varsity Squad. They lead cheers at all Junior Varsity football and basketball games and also fill in for the Varsity members on certain occasions.

All girls in grades 9A to 11B are eligible. They are taught two cheers which they prac- tice for about a month. Then the final tryouts are held with the cheerleaders and teachers participating in voting. The girls are judged on ability, voice, poise, appearance and personality. During the year the cheerleaders have practiced all summer long to be prepared- for the fall football games. They sponsor all the pep meetings, the Snake Dance before Homecoming and the Homecoming Dance which is one of the important affairs of the year. They also have an annual Christ- mas pajama party when they exchange gifts. For their fund raising project they sell pom-poms throughout the sports season. Each graduating senior receives twenty dollars which may be applied to the cost of her uniform.

Well d0ne, the lwireneuu U1 gruwun and of personal improvement are among the most important products of our work. Sometimes this is shown by our gleaming trophies for excellence in sports, or an A for that trouble- some term paper, or the development of special slcllls in any academic field. The serious faces of our graduates reflect accomplishment and a new awareness of the goals ahead. Sometimes we are discouraged. But the will to achieve pushes us ever on- ward. When graduation draws near we begin to look back on our experi- ences. Our perspective changes as we grow toward maturity. The happy memories always remain, while the sad ones lose some of their bittersweet quality and become less important. We remember when we worried. Some of us worried whether we would make the Honor Roll and some of us worried whether we would pass. Girls worried whether they would get invited to that special dance, and boys worried whether they would make the Varsity team. But now all is behind us. We are secure in our new achievement-- a high school diploma. As we look ahead toward tomorrow, we see some of us going on to college, business, trade schools, and some going immedi- ately to work. All of us are the better for having met the challenge of achieve- ment. Queen Joanne Nabozny and King Leon Leigh lead the dance. Almost Paradise, the theme of the 1957 Junior Prom, made a garden of Eden out of our gymnasium where this memora- event was held April 26. The paradise motif was em- phasized with banks of flowers, rocks, palms, large plants, chlrplng Love Birds and couples dancing to the music of the Dave Martin Orchestra. With his Princess, Dorothy Kozloskl Prince Jack Antosh pauses a moment to pose for the camera. The Royal Court included the King and Queen, Leon Leigh and Joanne Nabozny, from the June Class of 19585 and the Prince and Princess, .Tack An- tosh and Dorothy Kozloski, rep- resenting the January Class of 1959.

The plot centered about Caroline Keating, a successful mystery novelist, who had a most unusual family. Murder, scandal and family troubles inhabited Miss Keating's family home.

I TE NATION!-lL F, IPI 1 One of the many foreign dances demonstrated was this Czechoslovokian folk dance. March was an important month for the Language Department and the P.T.A. when they presented the International Fair. The first of its kind at Melvindale High School, the Fair strived to show the various cultures, races, and nationalities represented at Melvindale and how this international flavor has contributed so much to the democratic life of our school. Against a background of colorful costumes, worn by students representing their ancestors' homeland, was a display of articles from foreign countries. Various foods of different nationalities contributed by students and their parents, and colored slides of Hawaii completed the international picture. A special program in the auditorium which featured the chorus, a German band, and skits put on by the Latin, French, and Spanish Clubs climaxed this memorable event. Busily preparing scenery for the Fair in woodshop are Kasper O'hannisian, Ray Maurer, and Claude Walsh. 1 :- -mv '9NfbfEv'i'5' FH ,-., .N Im N Our school day is an ever changing experi- ence made up of many varied events--from social gatherings in the morning to boarding the buses in the afternoon. In the time between, there are opportunities for achievement, the privilege of research in the library, the challenge of cheerleading, or the success of a term paper. Then we have the sense of special achievement when we accomplish a difficult task such as the completion of a project in drafting or wood shop as shoum in the upper left.

The other loss came at the hands of a strong Allen Park squad in the first game of the year. After this defeat, the Cards rolled to three consecutive victories before losing to Ecorse. Then they finished strongly, winning their last four games to claim a share of the league crown. It was necessary for them to win their last two games in order to gain this tie and they did just that, beating Lowrey, 20-14. Ironlcally, the Rouge score was the same as the previous year. Captained by All-State end, Dick Heiden, and All-Area linemen, Tom Gee and Ken Renaud, our Cards allowed an average of one touchdown per game. fThls also included four shutouts.J This was Coach Dale Sawicki's first year as head coach, but, next year he faces an even tougher schedule. Beginning September, 1958, we join five Class A schools in the Huron-Rouge League, of which we will be the smallest. Of this Sawicki says, We will be the smallest school in the league but we hope to finish higher than last in the league standings. J. Antosh, A. Fast, R. White, R. Mejessi,G. Goldsmith, L.
