The physical fitness program inaugurated several semesters ago is conducted outdoors dur- ing the fine weather of the fall months. During inclement weather, the classes move into the school corridors and health education rooms, and there under the competent guidance of the health instructors, students can be seen executing the connnands to the tune of One, two, three, four,- one, two, three, four, Boxing, tumbling and combative games are also part of the program. ln addition to the health program for all, com- petitive sports have been maintained. Pershing had the best cross country team in the history of the school, taking the East League championship and placing third in the city meet. With two Vet- erans from last year, the golf team under the guid- ance of Coach Kolodziejski finished third in the city. This is the best Pershing has done in the past tive years. The reserve football team, coached by Mr. Kol- odzieislci iinished the season with four victories against one defeat. We can truly say that Per- shing has had one of the best allearound athletic seasons for many years. FS-.,.,,,, GMU' Span!! The girls' golf team resumed play this fall after the summer vacation. New additions to the team were Marilyn McGee, lulia Alcini, and Shirley Dempsey. Bodil Ree and Eileen Swanson, the only two players of the spring team, returned eager to take part in the fall sport. They received letters for golf. The fall sports were well attended this year with over 35 girls participating in field hockey and a large number in golf. Many girls were awarded letters for their outstand- ing ability in one of these sports. Among those who received letters for field hockey are Minnie Allison, Charlotte Chomis, Martha Hass, Pauline Legg, Sophie Levonick, Marge Percival, Sally Watkins, and Lillian Zezula. L Miss Prottengeier, the new hockey coach, and Marjorie Percival, the varsity captain, turned out a splendid team this fall despite the fact that many of their players graduated last spring. ln three starts the team defeated Northeastern by a score of l-O, tied with Miller, and lost to Denby in a very close game. All the hockeyettes are looking forward to an outstanding team next fall under their new captain, Sally Watkins. qfockey ,s 1-wan, 1 Wm AFM E 3421 3 'Qs fzygff 'c.gg.f : i ,i if f ,X A Q as .

As a result of this, the instrumental department had the largest enrollment of all times. The band, which played at all of the home football games and the Hamtramck CHORUS '7faeq Sing aaa Wicloaq game, is the best marching band that Pershing ever had. Mr. Iewell said that the choir is the finest one he has had. As proof of this statement the choir sang as a final selec- tion to the Christmas Program, Pred Earing's stirring arrangement of The Battle Hymn of the Republic. The girls' ensemble, under the direc- tion of Miss Engstrom, sang at the Parent- Teacher's Association meeting of the Michigan Education Association and also at the Christmas program.

Of this number, 371 were twelfth graders and four post-graduate students. While the largest number came from Pershing, over thirty parochial and other city high schools were also represented. A faculty of thirteen teachers offered practically all courses in English and social studies and many courses in mathematics, science, and com- mercial work. V While the major emphasis was necessarily placed cn teaching and study, some time was also given to war and extra-curricular activities. The war activ- ities were directed by Mr. T. H. Baruch, Mr. Harry H. Rigg, and the Pershing Speakers' Bureau. Under their able direction the students purchased a total of 351,512.45 in War Savings Stamps and close to 55,- 000.00 in War Bonds. Among the active student par- ticipants were Miss Diana Stamos with a total of 351,050.00 in War Bonds and Richard Brodzki with an individual purchase of S5100 in War Savings Stamps. The waste paper drive brought in close to nine tons of waste paper. Much credit should be given here to the enthusiasm of the entire faculty and especially to Robert Kuretich, the largest individual contributor. Under extra-curricular activities should be men- tioned The Pershing Newsette, summer school news- paper published by the 12A class under the leader- ship of lean Ostby, editor-in-chief, and with the as- sistance of Mr. Vene Smeltzer and Mr. Harry H. Rigg acting in the capacity of faculty advisers. Thursday, August 10, was Graduation Day in Summer School. On this day forty-six l2A's re- ceived their diplomas. Among these were: Robert Olschefsky, 12A presidentg Robert Sanderson, vice- presidentp lean Cstby, secretaryg Eleanor Weber, as- sistant-treasurer. The principal address was by Miss lean Ostby on The Morning After Victory. Miss Sadie M. Alley, former assistant-principal, presented the diplomas. Mr. Homer A. Clark, our present as- sistant-principal, spoke briefly to the graduates. The musical program was under the direction of Miss Margaret Turner, vocalist, and Miss Rose Thomas, violinist. Friday, August ll, concluded the Summer School session. Once again several hundred students in the Pershing area were given an opportunity to make up their failures or to advance themselves in their high school work. Forty-six of these were able through summer school to complete their high school work and receive their diplomas.
