EDUCATION EDUCATION for all is the true basis of a well- governed democracy. Since the founding of America people have realized the value of learning, and consequently have striven to effect an efficient educational system. Today the opportunity to secure an education is avail- able to persons in every walk of life. The Quiver staff, realizing that education is of prime importance in our high school, begins this book with a division attempting to give a cross-section of work in various departments of the school. ART MATHEMATICS - SCIENCE - ENGLISH - IVLUUIV fri it if Z Frank J. Dufrain James H. Harris ADMINISTRATION MR. JAMES H. HARRIS as superintendent of schools, has general supervision of our educational system. His aim is to have cooperation among the schools and to establish a smoothly operating educational system in the City of Pontiac. The proof of this accomplishment is shown by the respect and admiration given him. lMr. Frank J. Dufrain, assistant superintendent of schools, has charge of the business and financial matters of the school system. Formerly he was principal of the high school, and since that time has shown an interest in all affairs of the school. I Mr. John Thors, Jr., principal of Pontiac high school, has an interest in each student of our school, and is respected and liked by all. His leadership and in- fluence have brought a fine sense of cooperation among the students. -Mn James C. Covert, assistant principal of Pontiac high school, has steadily gained a place in the hearts of all who come in contact with him. His work con- sists in acting as a general assistant to the principal. He also is adviser to the Student Council. John Thors, Jr. James C. Covert I ENGLISH IN THE English department are emphasized the cultural as well as the utilitarian values. To carry out the cultural aim of the course, modern verse, famous plays, classical novels, and short stories are read and discussed, thus brightening the student's appreciation of good literature and creating in him a love of reading. A study is also made of American and English literature, the various forms of composition, grammar, and the writing of original stories, poems, and essays. Outside reading in the form of two book reports a semester is a requirement made of all English pupils. I An experiment with a double-track system in the senior English classes is 11ow being performed. Under this plan students intending to go to college are placed in academic classes in which tl1e classics are studied. For those whose education will end with graduation from high school, an entirely diversified method of instruction is followed. Through this innovation the subject is placed on a more practical basis and it is hoped that an increased interest in English will be shown by the students. I The importance of mechanical English cannot be overemphasized because it is being used daily by every student, and the cultural value has a very important place in the future life of an individual.

I The work is designed to train pupils to do efficiently what they will be called upon to do in the course of a day's work in an office. To accomplish this most effectively, the pupils should have a general knowledge of occupations, indus- tries, commerce and other phases of present day business life. I To meet the responsibilities of the initial position, the student should have a technical knowledge of shorthand, typing, bookkeeping, machine calculation, dictaphone, and letter-writing. I Throughout all the work of the department, proper business relations, punc- tuality, neatness, accuracy, service, and business courtesy are emphasized. I The curriculum includes: Commercial Geography, Business English, Com- mercial Law, Filing, Commercial Arithmetic, Bookkeeping, Shorthand, Type- writing, Dictaphone, Penmanship, and Machine Calculation. In addition to these subjects a great variety of academic work is recommended to give the pupil a broad background. FACULTY Left lo right: Katherine C. Sweitzer, Clifford C.

Therefore, a year's study of United States History and a semester's study of Civics are required of all pupils before graduation. Other courses offered are: Modern History, which aims to relate the modern world to the past, Economics, a study of the fundamental principles involved in earning a living, American Problems, a study of the most important social and economic problems of today, and International Relations, the purpose of which is to inter- est students in international problems. The latter two subjects are offered as specialized courses for those persons wl1o desire greater knowledge of govern- ments and peoples of the past and present. I Realizing the importance of training students to take an interest in current events, the department uses a weekly current events paper, which brings all important domestic and foreign situations to the minds of tl1e pupils. I The department hopes that through its instruction a thinking citizenry will be developed which will examine critically the many theories and reforms con- stantly proposed, and influence future legislation in an intelligent and bene- ficial manner.

Of the physical sciences, chemistry is a study of the composition of mat- ter, and physics deals with matter and energy and their utilization. I The biology course is a study of plant and animal life. Field trips taken in the spring and fall enable students to study living things in their natural habitats. I Much of the work in chemistry is devoted to laboratory experiments. Through these experiments an insight is gained into what really takes place when new substances are produced from raw materials. Knowledge is also acquired con- cerning the actual composition of material things. I The study of physics deals with mechanics, heat, sound, light, magnetism, and electricity. The proper application of these branches of science in every day life is stressed. I On the whole, the science department aims to train pupils to acquire a scien- tific attitude. Moreover, the study of science imparts a cultural background which enables the students to better understand the world in which they live. FACULTY Left to Right: Paul B. Line, George L.

The principal purpose of this department is the teaching of technical subjects and industrial education for senior high school students. I Suggested curriculums are offered for students who expect to prepare for engineering courses in colleges and cooperative technical schools. Major cur- riculums, devoting equal time to academic, shop, and related subjects, are re- quired of all students enrolled in Industrial Education courses. At present, major curriculums prepare for employment in four fields of work: automotives, drafting, machine-shop, and sheet-metal. A technical course in printing com- bining practical shop experience with theory oifers six semesters credit to quali- fied students. I A staff of nine instructors devotes full time to such subjects as: automotives, pattern-making, machine-shop, printing, drafting, shop-drawing, sheet-metal, applied mathematics and mechanics, materials and industrial science. The num- ber of semester enrollments in senior high school technical and industrial educa- tion subjects has increased from 252 in 1930 to 740 in 1936. Production work, approximating in value a yearly average of 354500, forms a large part of actual shop practice in the Industrial Education program. FACULTY Left to right: Herman Otto, Edward H. Eva, Rodney Bacon, Harold Harbolt, E. C. Rus- sell. F. A. Voelker, L. L. Smith, E. H. Snavely, Raymond J. Grail MATHEMATICS THE study of mathematics develops clear thinking and logical reasoning. It is an exact science from which those students who elect a course usually derive much satisfaction. I Courses offered by the Mathematics department include: plane and solid geometry, which are studies of circles, squares, triangles, prisms, cylinders, cones, and other figures, algebra, which emphasizes factoring, logarithims, radicals, ratio and proportion, quadratic equation, and mathematical deduction, and trigonometry, a study of theitriangle, function of the angle, solving the triangle, and finding area, side, or angle of a triangle. 5 A new project has recently been inaugurated in the solid geometry class by which the work of the semester is divided into five units. The students may fin- ish these units as quickly as they wish. Upon completion of a unit, tests are given covering the work of that unit, floor talks and written recitations which include the material gained from the text book are made, and a written sum- mary of the work is required. It is believed that through this plan the students gain a better understanding of the course, and show more interest in their work. I Mathematics prepares students for careers which require a knowledge of engineering, architecture, landscape gardening, art, designing, carpentry, survey- ing, navigation, astronomy., and physics.

E0 FOREIGN LANGUAGE THE Foreign Language department offers sufficient variety in language to sat- isfy the desires of all students, as Latin, French., German, and Spanish are in- cluded in the curriculum. I Translation of short stories and books, grammar study, and comparison of home life in foreign countries with that in America, form the basic plans of study for all four languages. I The aim of the department is to teach foreign language students: first, to read the lan uage which they are studying with understanding and enjoyment, g secondly, to write slmple well constructed sentences ln the foreign language thlrdly, to understand the spoken language W1tl1lI1 the limits of the students vocabularies, and lastly, to understand the llfe and customs of the foreign speak ing peoples I It IS further hoped that the good principles of forelgn life and customs wlll lI1flLlCIlC6 the daily llfe of students I The work of the department impresses upon the pupll the fact that the study of a foreign language increases a person s English vocabulary, his knowledge of correct English grammatical constructions, and his ab1l1ty to understand and interpret passages in reading which have reference to forelgn countries, lan guages, or customs F A C U L T Y Left to right Ne1lW Gray Max R Hodgdon Sara E LeRoy Iama C Hook Blanche Avery if nrle , N hx . . . . .

Marching teaches pupils to walk gracefully, gives them bodily poise, and teaches rhythm, alert- ness, and discipline. The swimming courses afford the girls the chance to acquire fearlessness in the water, gracefulness in their movements, and improved posture. The course in life saving may be elected only upon successful mastery of the work in swimming. This course prepares students for the Red Cross Life Sav- ing test. Rhythm work is divided into three groups: athletic and English folk dances for the tenth grade students, tap, clog, and American country dances for the eleventh grade pupils, and national folk dances and miscellaneous dances for the twelfth grade girls. The fundamentals of basketball, volleyball, and pad- dle tennis are taught within the gym classes. Students who enjoy these sports may join the leagues which participate in intra-mural games after school in the gymnasium. FACULTY 11 - Elma Waterman, Gertrude I. Beach, Irma A.

I l l A HOME ECONOMICS SINCE the making of a home will play an important part in the life of most girls, the courses offered in the Home Economics department are of great value to them. The homemaker's job is rapidly becoming one of management and selection, therefore, these courses include more than just cooking and sewing. I The clothing classes seek to aid students in the selection of ready-made gar- ments that are correct as to color, design, style, and quality. The girls also make blouses, suits, dresses, and other articles of wearing apparel, and are taught how to remodel and repair clothing. I In the foods classes students are taught not only the art of planning and cook- ing meals, but also marketing wisely for food, and selecting kitchen equipment and furnishings. Instruction in the proper serving of meals both for family and guests, together with the teaching of hostess' duties and good table manners, forms a valuable addition to the course. The preparation of suitable food for convalescents and children, taking into consideration the necessity for nutritious foods and well-balanced menus, is an important part of the instruction.

I While plays and speech contests still remain a vital part of the speech pro- l in the fundamentals of speech, public speaking, story telling, argu- gram, c asses mentation debate, and dramatics have become an integral part of our school 9 curriculum. The classroom, therefore, has become the scene of the greatest ' ' ' rk is bein done. activity and the place where the most important wo g I There is little doubt that a Well-rounded speech curriculum is very essential to a high school. Training in speech in all of its aspects IS necessary if the aims . . . . I 1- f d ation as set forth by the National Education Association are to be rea o e uc ized. In order to develop the willingness and ability to cooperate effectively in d tic societ one certainly should be trained to communicate effectively, a emocra y, for it is by communication that we influence the beliefs and actions of others. I Pontiac high school is fortunate in having one of the most complete speech curriculums in the state. FACULTY W. N. Viola, William A. Behl VOCAL MUSIC THE purpose of the Vocal Music department is twofold, first, to provide a plan of serious study which progresses through the six semesters of senior high school and grants academic credit on a basis with other subjects, second, to fumish the glee clubs as a recreational subject to those students who are not able to study music in a systematic way. I Vocal music I and II are made up entirely of the story of American music including Indian, early colonial, negro, and concluding with the vocal music of the present time. Vocal music III and IV are studies of European music. The most advanced group, the A Cappella Chorus, is a selective group of forty out- standing voices and is the show group of the organization. I The boys, and girls' glee clubs, and the Boys' Quartette and Girls, Triple Trio are also sponsored by the department. These groups are extra curricular activi- ties. Part of their work includes several public appearances outside of the school during the year. I The entire vocal organization has sponsored three concerts this year: an opera '6Dorothy,':, the annual Christmas concert in conjunction with the Women,s and MacDowell Male Chorusesg and the Annual Spring Concert. FACULTY John A. Otten. INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC THE Instrumental Music department of Pontiac senior high school consists of three classes-an Orchestra, an Elementary Band, and an Advanced Band. Practi- cally all members of these organizations have received previous training in junior high school bands and orchestras. Daily rehearsals., for which students receive academic credit, serve to maintain these musical units on the same basis with other academic classes in the senior high school. In addition to the daily rehearsals, a minimum of six hours' individual practice weekly is required of all students of the department. I The main purpose of the department is to develop within students an apprecia- tion of the beauty that is in music through actual performance. The department further aims to provide students with a means for worthy use of their leisure time, to re are them to take an active part in the musical life of their school and P P community, to develop within them a permanent interest 1n music, to direct their ' l attention from personal interests to the welfare of a group, to encourage scboo playing and playing in small groups, and to further vocational possibilities 1n students. F A C U L T Y - E ' I Dale Harris ART THE primary aim of the Art department is to enrich the students, lives by satis- fying their creative instincts and natural love for beauty. The department also endeavors to develop creative artists and people with fine artistic taste. The development of ability in the pupils to discriminate between good', and ubadn in art, and to appreciate fine work are important factors of the courses. I Art education is based on the theory that a knowledge of art is of value to pupils both from a practical and cultural standpoint. Everyone is surrounded in his daily life by various phases of art, and it is believed important that a person should know as much as possible about design and color in order to properly appreciate his surroundings. ll The department, by making posters and other art work, cooperates with all agencies in furthering general school studies, the conservation of resources, fire and accident prevention, human welfare, and finer citizenship in general. I The department wishes to stress the fact that all students may participate in the work of the art classes, regardless of whether or not they possess talent or as ire to become rofessional artists. P P I Mrs. Mary C. Christian and Miss Leihla Davenport comprise the faculty of the department. HEALTH SERVICE VALUABLE aid is rendered by the doctor's office to students of the school. Work done by this department is of a preventive nature, that is, pupils suspected of being ill are examined and advised as to the care which should be taken to cure them. Those students wishing to be excused from gymnasium activities because of poor health, or illness, obtain a permit through this office. All boys and girls taking gym have their hearts tested. Boys competing in interscholastic sports are given a very thorough physical examination. -Another service rendered by this office is the testing of eyes of students who may be in need of glasses. Glasses are in many cases furnished to students through the cooperation of the local Li0n's club. I Dr. E. A. Cook is in charge of the medical service. He is assisted by two nurses, Mrs. Hazel Ellicott and Mrs. Isabel Stevenson. Dr. P. B. .l ones is the school dentist.

COACHES THE head of the coaching staff of Pontiac high is Mr. John Van Why, who has charge of Physical Education in the junior and senior high schools. In the fall, Varsity Football claims his time while during the off-season he concentrates his energy on the direction of gym classes and other athletic affairs. He has spent the last twelve years in active coach- ing, specializing in football. I Mr. Kline B. Hartman, known to most students as Hart,,' is somewhat of a vet- eran, having coached here for nine years. Rated high as a swimming coach in Michigan he has consistently turned out good teams in this line of sport. Baseball is under his tutelage and many successful teams have been developed as a result of his ability. Mr. Hartman also has charge of the Reserve Football squad. I Another prominent coach on the Pontiac roster is Harvey W. Norris. Besides teaching Physical Education he has charge of the Varsity Basketball team, having taken over this duty only a year ago. In the spring, Norris instructs the Track team. He also assists with coaching the Football team in the fall. I The youngest member of our coaching staff is Kent Bowsher, who handles the Reserve Basketball team. In the fall he develops guards and centers for the Varsity Football team. He is a graduate of the University of Michigan. Mr. Bowsher is a member of the faculty at Lincoln junior high school where he teaches history. i Herman Otto is another coach who has a fine record to his credit. In the fall he assists in coaching the football squad. When spring arrives he works with the Golf team. Ml'- Otto has a good record in this line of sport. In addition to this work he is an instructor in the Industrial department of the school. I One of the busiest men in the athletic department is Mr. T. F.. Wiersema, facultv mana- ger of athletics. NTed's,' duties, which he discharges with much ability, are many, and in- clude the handling of finances, equipment, and the arrangement of schedules.

VARSITY FOOTBALL DISPLAYING a fighting spirit that hinted of past championship teams, the 1935 football squad finished the season with a better record than that of last year's eleven. In several of the games which were lost the Orange and Black warriors outplayed their opponents. 'These losses came under peculiar circumstances. ln three games the opposing team won by a six-point margin. Flint Central made five first downs to twelve for Pon- tiac, but defeated the home team by a score of 6-0. While playing Owosso, the Orange and Black chalked up a majority of one hundred and forty-eight yards. Nevertheless., Owosso won by a margin of six points. Arthur Hill, failing to make a first down in the second half, also won. I One hundred and forty boys reported to Coach Van Why at the first drill. As the sea- son progressed, forty players were rounded into a well-trained first squad. The regular team, consisting of Mead, Malkim, Reiher, Nesbitt, Williams, Pavloff, Fraumann, Bowers, Osworth, Kinney, and Campbell, won three games and lost six. I Outstanding on the team was a three-year man, Malta Reiher, who was honored at the close of the season with a position on the All-State eleven. Beiher is the lightest tackle ever to receive such an award. LaVerne Bowers, playing both end and quarterback, guided the team as captain. Paul Pavloif, an aggressive guard, is the captain-elect. Birum Campbell, fullback, was chosen the most valuable player of the year. lA new plan of awarding a pin to the most valuable player in each game was inaugu- rated this year. Winners were Bowers, Kinney, Pavloff, and Campbell. 1935 Results OPPONENT WE THEY Berkley .......... ....... 6 0 Royal Oak ...... ....... 0 14 Owosso .............. ....... 7 13 Arthur Hifll ........... ....... 0 ' ' 6 Flint Northern ......... ....... 6 ' 13 Port Huron ........... ....... 7 12 Flint Central ....... ....... 0 6 Saginaw .......... ....... 6 0 Bay City ........ ....... 7 0 Bo tom Row: W.

RESERVE FOOTBALL ALTHOUGH a regular nine game schedule is no longer arranged for the Reserve Football squad, this sport still remains an important activity in the athletic curriculum of Pontiac high school. The primary purpose of Reserve Football is to provide training for those boys who are not yet of Varsity caliber. I The team was handled again this year by Coach Kline Hartman and was very success- ful considering the inexperience of the boys. The schedule was made up of important class B teams. Practice started on Crofoot field but was soon switched to the baseball outfield at the Pontiac State Hospital grounds where there was a better turf. A large num- ber of boys turned out at the first of the season but the number gradually diminished un- til a squad of about thirty was left. I The team played four games, winning two, tying one and losing one. As a whole the squad lacked experience and adeptness at blocking. Some of the boys from whom we may expect big things as varsity football players are Kayga, who was a backiield man showing good kicking form all season, Worley Smith, a tackle, who displayed a great deal of grit and the rest of what it takes to become a gridiron star, and Don Nelson, a fine end. I The line-up was continuously shifted. As soon as a boy showed promise he was ad- vanced to the Varsity squad. This kept Coach Hartman constantly worried over a depend- able starting line-up. Much credit is due to these boys and their coach for workin so hard g and receiving such little glory for it.

VARSITY BASKETBALL UNDAUNTED by many defeats and bad breaks, the 1936 Varsity Basketball team com- pleted a hard schedule with six victories out of fifteen scheduled games. At the begin- ning of the season, Coach Harvey Norris presented a line-up which consisted of Carl Alf- sen and William Broadnax at the forward positions, Dave Mead at center, and La- Verne Bowers and Steedy Stafford holding down the guard positions. This quintet did well for the first half of the season but failed to click after the graduation of Alf- sen, a fine shooter, and Bowers, the toughest guard on the squad. William Hill, a promising substitute, was also lost to the squad because of an injury received during the first game. Coach Norris then made a first team out of five juniors. This quintet consisted of Clarence Markeson and Hubert Price, forwards, Harlin Fraumann, center, and Veme Markley and J ack McDowell, guards. McDowell, who began his basketball career this year on the Reserves, marched through the ranks to a regular position on the Varsity five. Substitutes included Robert Farms and Bob Quance, who filled in the vacancies left by Alfsen and Bowers. I A highlight in the season's schedule was the replacing of St. Frederick's on our sched- ule. This game drew nearly two thousand spectators. St. Frederick's eked out a victory by a two-point margin only after a hard fought game. I Pontiac high school was honored after the close of the regular season by having its gymnasium as the scene of the regional tournament. In this series of games the chiefs started out valiantly and annexed two victories but finally lost to Port Huron. 1936 Results OPPONENT WE THEY OPPONENT WE THEY Flint Northern ........ ........ 2 0 42 Saginaw ............. ........ 2 4 45 Bay City ........... ........ 2 3 22 Flint Central ..,.... ........... 8 19 Arthur Hill ...... ........ 2 7 29 St. Frederick's ........... 12 14 Saginaw ......... ........ 3 0 26 Owosso ............. ........ 2 9 22 Owosso .....,......., .....,,, 1 9 20 Arthur Hill .......,................ 21 19 Royal Oak ........ ...,.... 2 8 22 Flint Northern ....,......,,,,,,.,. 16 33 Flint Central ...... ........ 2 3 24 Royal Oak fftegionall ...... 28 16 Bay City ...,,,.,. ......., 2 5 23 Hazel Park fRegionalJ .... 51 9 Port Huron ...... ........ l 6 25 Port Huron fldegionali .... 14 21 Bottom Row: E.

RESERVE BASKETBALL RESERVE Basketball was ably handled this year by a squad of thirteen boys who, under the tutelage of Kent Bowsher, compiled an amazing record. After a very inauspicious start which consisted of dropping the first three games, the team began to click and was not stopped again all season. This string of victories consisted of eleven straight wins. H I Although a great deal of team cooperation was evident at all times, two forwards were outstanding. These were Captain Warren Hartt, who scored one hundred and seven points, and Pee Ween Walls, who dropped enough balls through the bucket to total seventy-five points. I Before the season was over, McDowell, stellar center, was advanced to the guard posi- tion on the varsity quintet. The regular lineup after McDowell's advancement consisted of Hartt and Walls, forwards, Fenely and Schroeder, guards, and Sammy Seay, center. Out- standing among the substitutes were Lovett and Fields. Most of these boys will help make up the varsity squad next year, and those who do not will hold down regular berths on the second team. I The playing this year was as hard and fast as was ever contributed by a reserve quintet, and the boys proved to the school that they were one of the outstanding athletic teams of the year. 1936 Results OPPONENT WE THEY OPPONENT WE THEY Flint Northern Port Huron ....... ........ l 8 11 Bay City ............ ..........

SWIMMING ALTHOUGH victories were few and far between, the 1936 Swimming team displayed real Pontiac s irit and s ortsmanshi this ear. The second semester the s uad was con- P P P Y q siderably handicapped by not having on it the four swimmers who graduated in mid- year. The medley relay team continued its three-year winning streak until the last few meets when defeat finally overtook it. -Walt Leitner, 220 free-styler, was the outstanding man of the year, bowing in defeat only once during the season. He was elected most valuable man, being high scorer with 59 points. The two Eddy brothers., Herb and Doug, who were new on the squad this year, were outstanding in both diving and swimming. Nelson Davis and Kenneth Turner were the heavy duty backstrokers until their graduation in January. They captured first and second places every time they swam. Both boys were of about equal ability. Willis Selden and John Becker took over their duties during the second semester. John Antal was the number one breaststroker until mid-year when William King took over his vacated position. Robert MacLean, a crawl man, also left in January. Two of the most promising free-stylers were Robert Going and Gerald Bowers. Both men swam in several meets and showed much improvement during the season. Ed Cowley and Ed Kleusner, two free- stylers, were the outstanding dash men on the squad. Cowley also swam breast stroke on the medley relay after the first semester. Demotte Gilbo, a dash man, and Charles Cap- pell, a diver, were also worthy of praise. -The letter winners were: Davis, Antal, Cowley, Selden, Herb Eddy, MacLean, Kleus ner, Gilbo, Leitner, and Turner. 1936 Results OPPONENT WE THEY OPPONENT WE THEY River Rouge ....... .,...... 3 3 42 Fordson ......... ....... 3 6 39 Ann Arbor ,.......... ...,.... 3 8 37 Royal Oak ..... ....... 3 1 44 Alumni .........,.,,, .35 40 Ypsilanti ......... ....... 3 5 36 University High .47 28 River Rouge ........ ....... 3 3 42 Royal Oak ..,,,,,,,,,,,,. ........ 3 3 42 Crosse Pointe ...... ....... 2 3 52 v,x,,.,-1...-., F Bottom Row: C.

Turning out to first practice were more than one hundred boys, all interested in landing a berth on the first squad. Few veterans returned to try for a position on the team. -The team played fifteen games, four of which were league conflicts. Eight of these were won and seven were lost. The team won two and lost two league games. As a whole the batting average was good. The squad's sportmanship also can well be mentioned. Following in the footsteps of last year's squad, it established a deeply imbedded name in the Saginaw Valley League as a square team . -Twelve letters were awarded, six of them given to seniors and six to juniors. The regular team consisted of Stafford, Farms, Alfsen, Oxley, Osworth, Woods, Willie, and Hill. A temporary captain was appointed for each game. The team used the field at the State Hospital grounds, which afforded much better playing facilities and also a larger capacity for spectators, although support of the team by the student body was not as good this year as last. lHutchinson, Springer, and Matheny comprised the outstanding mound staff of the P. H. S. battlers. Springer, chalking up two league victories, was outstanding in holding up his share of winning responsibility. Other athletes distinguished for their play were: Farms, doing most of the catching, Alfsen, holding down second base, Hill, filling the position at the number one bag, and Foster, at the hot corner. Stafford, a speedy short stop, was noted for his consistent playing. 1935 Results OPPONENT WE THEY OPPONENT THEY Royal OZ-lk ........ ........

TRACK THE track team ended a successful year of representing Pontiac high school on the cinder path by coming through to finish second place in the Regional tournament after experi- encing only one complete loss throughout the entire season. The squad chalked up two victories over Ferndale and Mount Clemens but fell to second place in a tri-meet with Flint Central and Flint Northern. -Although Coach Harvey Norris had only two returning lettermen upon which to depend for experience, he rounded his crop of recruits into a squad competent enough to hold its own against the strong teams of Flint and Ann Arbor. The boys also had to ' f overcome the loss of several stars who were unable to compete 1n some meets because o illness or injuries. I The outstanding man of the season was Ledford. He set a new school record by run- ning the one-hundred yard dash in ten seconds flat. Bob Quance also finished a fine year of pole vaulting by capturing first place in all but one of the meets. The regulars were: One-hundred yard dash, Ledford and McGheeg Four-forty, Owen, Johnson, and Broad- nax, Eight-eighty, Carney, Brewer, and Harrisong Mile, Pavloff and Hake, High hurdles, Kleusner and Bowers, Pole vault, Burton and Quanceg Broad jump, Walker and Mc- Ghee, Shot put, Williams and McDowell, High jump, Mitchell. Eight men from the squad were sent to the state meet.

The squad was piloted through a very successful year by Coach Ray Dorrs and Captain Bob Glenn. Out of their scheduled ten meets, six were won. I Letters were earned by James McPartlin, Bob Glenn, Stockwell McGaughan, Isaac Prevette, Bob MacLean, Vern Markley, and Wilfred Ricamore. William Bigler received a manager's letter. Two players of ability were James McPartlin and Bob Glenn who won the doubles match in the regional tournament but were unable to enter the state meet. The schedule included matches with Saginaw, Birmingham, Ferndale, Royal Oak, Flint Central, Owosso, and Flint Northem. I This year there was a large array of new material in addition to Markley, McPartlin, MacLean, and Ricamore, who were returning lettermen. GOLF F OLLOWINC the precedent set by former golf teams of Pontiac high school, the 1935 Golf squad again came through in fine style. The team, combining good sportsmanship with consistent playing, won every meet but one. It captured first place honors in the regional and came out third in the state meet. .The boys who were on the team were Harold Stewart, Richard Yeager, Robert Is- grigg, Arthur Nelson, and J. B. Wright. Yeager and Stewart acted as co-captains throughout the season. All home matches were held on the Pontiac Municipal Golf Course. The successive wins of the Golf team have brought to light a sport which, until recently, has been considered a minor activity, but which has proven itself to be a high- ly successful division of the athletic program.

GIRLS'BASKETBALL WITH the beginning of the second semester, basketball took the place of volleyball and d' 'd d ' t two became the main interest of the late winter season. The girls were lV1 e 1n o leagues, the older girls forming the advanced group while the younger girls composed the dl f M Th winnin other league. Two games a night was the schedule until the mid e o ay. e g team in each league then met for the final encounter. Iris Kessler and Eileen Reed were the referees and scorekeepers. I Partici ation in the outside activities of the Girls' Physical Education department is a P purely voluntary action on the part of the girls. The teams are organized by the girls ' d kee in offer their themselves, and those who do such work as refereelng an score p g ' b the are interested in the sport or because they wish practice in officiating services ecause y work. These outside activities offer a fine opportunity for girls who wish more activity in basketball and volleyball than they can secure in the regular class period.

THE First Semester Student Council closed a successful season of sponsoring general stu- dent activities and straightening out difficulties of the student body. This organization was inaugurated by Mr. John Thors, J r., in September, 1925. Previously there was no stu- dent representation on the governing board. It was thought, however, that by a plan in which the pupils were allowed to voice their opinions, a better understanding would en- sue between faculty and student body. Thus it was that the Student Council had its beginning. Under the present system each homeroom sends its president to the Student Council. Each representative conveys the opinion and desires of his room and voices them in the meeting. Here they are discussed and action is taken on the course voted the most desirable by the entire group. -During the semester, the organization presented an all-school matinee dance at the Christmas pre-holiday time. To create a greater interest in football games, the group also sponsored a pep parade preceding the Bay City game and offered prizes to the best decorated cars. I Officers for the first semester were: La Verne Bowers, presidentg Fay Burgis, vice-presi- dentg Dorothy Rice, secretary, Marion Sibley, treasurer, and Birum Campbell, Jr., sergeant-at-arms. I The members of the student council for the first semester consisted of: Norma Arms Norman McClure, Allen Gerlach, Francine Conner, Ivan Kay, Betty Warnock, Ardes Clau- son, Clarence Erickson, Harry Woodman, Alvah Osworth, Joe Gallardo, Ethan Thomp- son, Marion Sibley, Virginia Cline, Marion Hodges, Betty ,lane Kinsey, Ruth Phillips, Elsie Seaman, Bob Reeves, Edith Kizer, Jean Colpus, Fay Burgis, Jean Albert, Eleanor Sanford, Mary Miller, Geneva Slaughter, Kathryn Glennie, Nelson Burdette, Jean Gould, Beverly Smith, Stuart Teeter, Violet Meyer, Richard Davis, Ed Chase, Wesley Newman, Tom Pheney, Harold Knisley, Everett Berndt, Betty Hayman, Emma Louise MacAdams, Lauren Davis, Ward Minchin, Dorothy Rice, Larry Ruthenberg, Edgar Whan, LaVerne Bowers, Birum Campbell, J r., Basil Kimball, Gerald Almy, J ay Bolton, William Willis, Robert Redmond, Norma Gene Bradford, ,lohn McCormich, Yvonne Robertson. - Sibley, izer, B, noel.

CSecond Semesterl THE Second Semester Student Council carried on the activities of the First Semester Council by expressing the opinions of the student body and taking action on them. -Aside from the discussion of current problems, it is the aim of the Student Council to create a greater school spirit and sponsor those activities which will leave pleasant memories for the students. In keeping with this spirit the council helped other organiza- tions throughout the school especially the dramatics department by selling tickets to the annual school play The Family Upstairs. I In order that business brought up before the council would be handled in the best pos- sible way Betty Jane Clark was elected president, Willis Selden, vice-president, Betty Warnock, secretary, Marion Sibley, treasurer. The group met every Tuesday morning during the homeroom period and was under the advisership of Mr. James C. Covert. I The members of the second semester student council consisted of Adeline Allen, Willa Ainge, Glenn Allen, J ay Bolton, Roy Cooley, James Dando, Gerald Bowers, Hugh Cooper, Lauren Davis, Walter Eckhart, ,lack Fauble, Harlin Fraumann, Mattie Fulkerson, George Giddings, Kathryn Glennie, Harold Hackett, Bob Harper, Lawrence Handren, Dorothy Hitchcock, Vivian Hubbard, J une Kemp, Ernest Kohn, Ivan Kay, Don Matthews, Milli- cent Maurer, Ralph Merkovitz, Basil Kimball, Phyllis Marsh, Arthur Kirken, ,loe Gal- lardo, Donna Pennell, Jeanne Lemon, James McDowell, Ronald Loup, June Peterson, Catherine Rowston, Philip Rowston,.Robert Snyder, John Spragg, Marion Sibley, Willis Selden, Worley Smith, Eleanor Sanford, Geneva Slaughter, Eleanor Slonaker, Lily Ware, Rosemary Walker, and Betty Warnock. ,J 'l'H'N i , 'u l l Bibi fl fig, l , I . 2.1. .,.. . - . . , If KM' :ul ll: I R,-f lf ' t rp Wx is Bottom Row: Mr. Clark, H.

QUIVER IN THE SPRING of last year the members of the January and June 1936 graduating classes elected John Burt, editor-in-chief and ,luddson Shephard, associate editor of the 1936 Quiver. In the fall the Board of Publications approved the following appointments: Mildred Long, business manager, ,lo Ann Ramsey, literary critic, Margaret Becker, organization editor, Helen Compton and Charlotte Tiffany, January class editors, Eve- lyn Lee and Mary Jane Gump, June class editors, Carolyn Ashbaugh, department editor, Robert Reeves, sports editor, Mac Campbell, photographic editor, Frances Bach, faculty editor, Dorothy Rice and Robert Gunderson, art editors, and Erma Eckalbar and Bea- trice Hartung, typists. Max Beach, Bessie Jean Lawton, Robert Merz, and Barbara New- ton, all juniors, served as staff assistants and will form the nucleus of the staff next year. Mary Johnson and Irene Polley served as additional typists during the second semester. Mr. George L. Clark was adviser of the publication. 'The Quiver staff, following the custom of the editorial groups of the last two years, resolved to publish a book which would be different in layout, design, and size. Although the financial outlook was rather dark for the first few months, the staff worked hard designing sample pages, discussing make-up, and experimenting with art designs. When publication of the book was assured the work of the staff became more specific. The chief task during the first semester was the taking of pictures, both group and senior, the con- struction of the first dummy, and the fall sales campaign. With the advent of the second semester the task of preparing copy began, and many hours were spent in writing and rewriting various articles. By the first of April all material was in the printer,s hands. I The staff owes much to the student body and faculty for the cooperation and interest shown in this publication. ,, W., ' 2 1 ' H.

TOMAHAWK AT THE end of another fine year, The Tomahawk, weekly student newspaper of Pontiac high school, concluded its seventeenth year of service. I The members of the staff by much hard work presented the news of the school to the students in an interesting and accurate style. The purpose of the editors is to promote clean sportsmanship and self government among the students and give equal publicity to all activities. I Ruth Baker performed very faithfully the duties of editor-in-chief of the publica- tion. She had the following editorial and business staff to assist her: Shirley Wright, associate editor, Virginia VanWagoner, news editor, Robert Sibley, business and adver- tising manager, Phyllis Baldwin, editorial editorg Betty Boerschinger, feature editor, Jean Slater, copy editorg Frances Merrill, headline editorg Joseph Braddock, make-up cditorg Robert Gunderson, cartoonistg Raymond Nicyper, assistant cartoonistg Jack Strait, sports editor, Edith Kizer, circulation managerg Irene Lunsford, bookkeeperg and John Farnham, photographer. I Several changes were made in the staff at the beginning of the second semester. Max Beach was appointed exchange editor, Thomas Martin, make-up editorg and Viola Bis- sell, bookkeeper. I The staff engaged in a number of outside activities throughout the year. During the win- ter they held a tobogganing party at Orchard Lake Country club. In the spring they gave a dance and sponsored a banquet at which time they honored the members of the staff who were graduating and announced the new appointments to the staff for next year. Pontiac senior high school was represented by several delegates from the Tomahawk staff at the annual meeting of the Michigan Interscholastic Press Association held at Ann Arbor. -Miss Florence Day and Mr. L. L. Smith were faculty advisers of the staff. p. 4. , ' ' J 4s.. LL , , r , , e o 5 ll ? 1 11 Q L . EMU! 5 Q . X J' ZZ' In .1 ' ll ' , ll ,Lf ll , ' . I - - ' li YV ml Bottom Row: W. Singleton, C.

HI-Y THE H1-Y is an organization which tends to promote good fellowship, character, pur- pose, and spirit in young men of the school. It is open to all boys of high standards. Many who belong to the Hi-Y organization were formerly members of a like organ- ization in junior high school. The purpose of this organization is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian charac- ter. These aims were carried out with distinction during the past year by the members of the club. I Of the many services performed by the club perhaps the largest was the duty of check- ing coats and hats at the banquet held in the high school gymnasium, honoring Alfred P. Sloan, Jr. Of special importance to football players and coaches was the football banquet or ubusti' which the Hi-Y cooperated in staging this year. A Mother and Son banquet for members and their mothers was one of the major events of the year's ac- tivities. To make the club more enjoyable, basketball games were held and a Hi-Y team was organized which proved to be quite successful in games with other clubs and organizations. The group also furnished peanuts and candy for the fans at both football and basketball games. I Officers for the first semester were: Carl Alfsen, president, Eugene Klein., vice-presi- dent, Lloyd Walker, secretary, Emerson Brown, treasurer, and LaVerne Bowers, ser- geant-at-arms.

This club, composed of seventy-five girls, strives to uphold the high Christian ideals for which it stands. 1 1 I The meetings of the club were divided into two divisions, the first part being given over to a short business meeting and the last half to a program. The organization en- joyed various types of programs, all carefully studied and prepared so that they would enlarge the characters of the girls morally, spiritually, and mentally. To obtain all these things the girls had a number of interesting speakers on their programs. I During the year various activities were carried on, including sewing for the Needle- work Guild, a charitable organization in Pontiac, and distributing baskets to needy families throughout the city. At mid-year graduation, corsages were presented to twen- ty-two members of the club in accordance with the custom of the organization. I At the beginning of the second semester a program and reception was given for the entertainment of the new 10-B girls. Later in the spring a theater party was given for members and alumni. The group assisted the Hi-Y club by serving at the Mother and Son banquet, sponsored by that organization. At June graduation, corsages were presented to members being graduated. I The officers of the club were: Marion Sibley, president, Jean Creswell, vice-president, Shirley Wright, secretary, Leonora Feliska, treasurer. The chairmen of the committees were Emma Louise MacAdams, program chairman, Margaret Becker, social chairman, and Virginia Stepleton, flower chairman. I Miss Elma Waterman was the faculty adviser of the club.

I The Pontiac orators won contests from Saginaw Arthur Hill, Saginaw Eastern, Flint Central, and Bay City. They were defeated only by Flint Northern orators, who were runners up for the State Championship title last season. I In its first tilt in the State Elimination series Pontiac won the decision of the judges over Rochester high school. I .lack Shuler, who was adjudged the outstanding debater in the Saginaw Valley League for two consecutive seasons, was chosen to the honorary position of captain of the de- bate team for as many times. Elton Ham served as manager for the squad. I Besides the scheduled league debates, the team engaged in scrimmages with Red- ford, Rochester, Ferndale, Royal Oak, South Lake Shores, Flint Central, and McKenzie High, Detroit. I Pontiac also fared well in so far as speech contests were concerned. According to the number of points gained, Pontiac took the lead in the Valley League. These contests were held in the spring of' the year and were comprised of three distinct sections: Declamation, Oratory, and Extempore speaking. I Clarence Erickson, three times champion orator for Pontiac, placed first in the sub- district contest. Carl Estes captured second place for Extempore in the final district con- test. Ellen Johnson, a sophomore, placed first in the sub-district contest with her decla- mation, 'sAcres of Diamonds. These winners also participated in a meeting of six schools at Redford. -gellut usic con- r sesenl Gernmell leere. ani . thus en' to Ponlii tem.

Merrill Heaphy, a speech instructor at Pontiac high school, organized this club for the purpose of furthering speech activities and creating a greater all-around interest in them. Upholding these high ideals, this aim is now carried out under the capable sponsorship of Mr. W. A. Behl. I Membership to this club is open to those students who have participated in a desig- nated number of debates or who have placed first in either Declamatory, Oratory, or Extempore speaking. I The club sponsored several social events during the year. At the opening of school a picnic was held at Dodge park. During the winter the members enjoyed a tobogganing party at Orchard Lake Country club. The annual banquet honoring graduating mem- bers took place in the spring. In order to raise funds for necessary expenditures, the club took over the concessions at basketball games. A new system of dues was also in- augurated to help finance club affairs. The meetings were held after school the first Tuesday of each month and the evening of every third Vlfednesday, at which time pro- grams of current interest were presented. I Officers for the first semester were: Carl 'Estes and LaDoit Patton, co-presidents, Barbara Newton, vice-president, Margaret Cemmell, secretary, and Charlotte Tiffany, treasurer. For the second semester they were: Morris Steere, president, Louise Hay- man, vice-president, Raymond Nicyper, secretary, and Ellen ,l ol1nso11, treasurer. Stand- ing committees for the second semester appointed by the president were: Raymond Nicyper, membership, Barbara Newton, program, Aubrey Roberts, nomination, J ack Strait, social, Harry Woodman, initiation, and Dorr Fockler, publicity. hi, HMV' Bottom Row: L.

However, be- fore a student may be admitted to the organization he must be voted on by the old members and must be formally initiated into the club. I This organization holds the concession to sell candy and peanuts at all athletic events. Occasionally throughout the year the club permits this privilege to be used by other organizations, such as the Ushers club, Hi-Y club, and the Orange and Black club. I During the year the members had a drive to sell football pins and pennants. The pins, very novel wooden ones, having the shape of a football, were painted orange and trimmed in black. The sale of these emblems greatly encouraged school spirit as well as being profitable to the club. The money made was used to co-sponsor the annual Football Ban- quet with the Hi-Y club. I A committee of the club was also influential in making regulations for the awarding of athletic letters. According to the new rules a player must play in one-third of the quarters in a season's schedule to win a letter in football or basketball. In swimming or track a contestant must win an average of two points a meet, or a place in the state meet for swimming or regional meet for track. In baseball a player must play in three-fifths of the games while a pitcher must participate in one-third of the contests. A golf or tennis player is required to play in one-third of the matches or in the regional tourna- ment. I Officers of the club for the entire year were: Nelson Davis, presidentz, Kenneth Turner, vice-presidentg and William Hill, secretary-treasurer. Mr. T. E. Wiersema, athletic man- ager, was director of the club. O ixnnma. 1: com- ever. bo the old 'o evooo. by other club.

This activity was created last year for the purpose of increasing student interest in athletic games and various serviceable organizations such as the Tomahawk and Quiver. I The advantages offered by the Student Union are many. For the sum of three dollars, paid in weekly installments or in a lump sum, a member of this organization receives admission to all athletic games, an issue of the Tomahawk each week, and a copy of the Quiver when it is distributed in the spring. Formerly this entire list of activities came to a total of six dollars and twenty cents, if taken separately. Under the Student Union plan a savings of three dollars and twenty cents was made. This year, however, as the Quiver has advanced in price from one dollar and fifty cents to one dollar and seventy-five cents, there was an additional savings of twenty-live cents. Also, two pay assemblies were added to the list of Union activities. I Besides offering advantages to students, the Student Union benefits the athletic teams and the publications. Increased attendance at home athletic games has proved the truth of this statement. The Tomahawk and Quiver subscriptions have also greatly increased. I James Heitsch was manager of the Student Union, having taken this position upon the graduation of Edward Jenner in January, 1935. Jack Edmonson was the assistant man- ager, Esther Jewel and Lorraine Pike were inspectors, Marie Mahar and Betty Meacham, secretaries, and Elizabeth Howard, treasurer. Mr. George L. Clark was adviser of the organization. .F'M,.,,,,...,.., .1 ,l' wifi 'gioitpn ,, o o il 1 fo pf o y mm' i Bottom Row: M. Becker, E. F. Thomas, J. Farrell, M. Long, F. Bach, C. Ashbaugh. M. J.

MATH CLUB ALTHOUGH many social events are enjoyed by members of the Math club, member- ship in this organization is offered primarily to those students interested in mathematics. I This group holds meetings once every month. Part of the meetings are devoted to social activities and part to programs and very interesting discussions. Different subjects dealing with mathematics in either a direct or indirect way are usually the main topic of interest during the program. Among the subjects discussed the last semester were the history of measurements and the history of money. For the social part of the meet- ing the members have many interesting games and contests. The club gave a party in the spring and all alumni who had been members of the club for at least two semesters were invited to attend. In addition to this the club entertained the History club at a combined meeting and social gathering. The club also held their annual picnic in the spring. I The first semester officers of the club were: Mildred Long, president, Frances Bach, vice-president, Mary Jane Gump, recording secretary, Carolyn Ashbaugh, treasurer, and Irene Nelson, attendance secretary. ,lean Farrell was chairman of the program com- mittee and was assisted by Fannie Newton, Jean Creswell, and Laoma Wilcox. The chairman of the social committee was Ellen Frances Thomas with Leonora Feliksa and Marion Sibley assisting her. I The officers for the second semester were: Ellen Frances Thomas, president, Leonora Feliksa, vice-president, Betty Jane Clark, recording secretary, Fannie Newton, treas- urer, and Dorothy Hitchcock, attendance secretary. Jean Creswell was chairman of the program committee and was ably assisted by Mildred Long, Betty Boerschinger, and Geneva Slaughter. Betty Meacham was chairman of the social committee with Frances Bach, Jean Farrell, Bernadine Smith, and ,lean Bach as her assistants, I Miss Margaret Steward, who is a member of the Mathematics department, is the fac- ulty adviser of the club.

It was organized ten years ago by the members of the school play with Mildred Todd, who is now appearing in professional productions, as the first president. The original purpose of the club was to advertise the school play. Today the aim of the club is to lead to an appreciation of the legitimate drama, to offer a form of good recreation for its members, and to improve the participants in the art of speech. I The membership of the club is limited. In order to become a member, it is neces- sary for a student to participate in the school play, be a member of the scenic commit- tee, or be enrolled in one of the dramatic classes. I Quality and not quantity was the desire of the club in carrying out the activities throughout the year. Their annual dance, the Playcrafters Ball, a very beautiful and elaborate affair, celebrated the tenth anniversary of the club's existence and was a high- light in the social activities of the school year. They also gave a reception for parents of members, at which time they presented two one-act plays and a radio drama and exhib- ited various phases of stagecraft and puppetry. In the spring they held their annual picnic for all members. In addition to these activities the group attended several out- standing plays in Detroit. I The officers of the club for the first semester were: Harry Hummel, president, Clare Riley, vice-president, Nancy Brown, secretary, Garner Britten, treasurer, Oneida Brown, corresponding secretary. I The second semester officers were: Clare Riley, president, Lauren Davis, vice-presi- dentg Ruth McCormick, secretary, Garner Britten, treasurer, Oneida Brown, corre- sponding secretary. I Mr. W. N. Viola, instructor of Speech Arts and Dramatics, is the faculty adviser of the club. 1155! BMW l I 1 E 5 3 2 , .E lf i 4- ls? In Eci Qi rf f if LS, E WDW' Bottom Row: W. Selden, J. Graham, J.

LIBRARY CLUB THE Library club serves as a direct link between the student body and library organi- zation, and endeavors to meet the needs of students in a satisfactory way. Members of this club are selected for their high scholastic standing, qualities of leadership, coop- eration, and ability to work accurately. The new members are given an intensive course in library methods, and later they are given much of the responsibility for the de- tailed work that is necessary for a smoothly operating library. The members also have time to read current magazines and books, and are maintaining a Library club book- shelf. This special shelf contains books which the members of the club have read and greatly enjoyed and which they wish to recommend to fellow students. I Meetings are held every two weeks. The first part of each meeting is devoted to busi- ness and the latter part to a program. Often the club has enjoyed a special speaker and the rest of the time a member of the club has had charge of the entertainment. I During the first semester several parties were held at the homes of members. At tl1e beginning of the second semester an initiation was held, and occasional parties were enjoyed throughout the semester. During Book Week in November, the Library club entertained the faculty at a tea. The purpose of this tea was to acquaint the faculty with the new books which had been acquired during the fall. I The officers for the first semester were: president, Dorothy Race, first vice-presi- dent, Willis Selden, second vice-president, Clara Belle Hutchins, recording secretary, lean Slater, secretary-treasurer, Francis Merrill.

TUMBLING CLUB ONE of the most active clubs in school this season was the Boys' Tumbling club. This group was organized several years ago for the purpose of training for greater control over body muscles as well as providing an interesting pastime for the boys. Membership to this organization was open to any boy who was willing to practice and who had the desire to succeed. I The club was organized in 1928 with the hope of creating an activity for boys who were athletically inclined and were yet too light to participate in football or other sports. Mr. Loys E. Kader took charge of the organization in 1931 and it has been under his sponsorship since that time. -During the past year, the group engaged in a number of public performances. An in- teresting assembly was provided for the sophomores, the boys going through the regu- lar paces of forward rolls, dives, flys, and other more intricate stunts. Another activity was the program presented at Central Methodist Church in the spring. This project has become a traditional event for the boys, since they have presented it for several suc- cessive years. The club also was asked to perform before the Exchange club. -In order to stimulate a greater interest in the activities of their club, the members also provided a short interlude of tumbling at the Saginaw Eastern basketball game. 'Officers who were elected in the fall and remained for the entire year were: Morris Steere, president, Richard Freeman, vice-president, Morris Fockler, secretaryg and Cur- tis Snyder, treasurer. The organization met every Thursday evening in the Boys' gym. mm' l. '.f flifgf '- ' 2 --Q 1 I l N WR r I 61 1 Q V?

BOYS' GLEE CLUB THE Boys' Glee club is one of the regularly scheduled classes in the vocal department. It meets three times a week and grants only activity credit. Any boy in school is eligible to be a member if he is interested in vocal music and can pass a voice test. The club is affiliated with the State Federation of Junior Music clubs, and members are eligible to enter the State Federation contest for Soloists. The officers were: Robert McClintock, president, Thomas Martin, vice-president, and David Hogue, secretary-treasurer and accompanist. I The Boys' Quartette is composed of members of the Boys' Glee club who are chosen for their vocal ability and who can practice outside of school. Its purpose is to acquaint its members with music literature and provide entertainment for clubs and organizations in the city. Members included Frederick Schumacher, first tenor, Leo Yocum, second tenor, Joseph Gallardo, baritone, and Frederick McCaughan, bass. Leo Yocum was man- ager, David Hogue, accompanist, and Mr. J. A. Otten, director. A CAPPELLA CHCRUS THE A Cappella Chorus, comprised of forty advanced students in vocal music, is one of the newest clubs in high school. It was organized in September, 1935 for the purpose of giving better appreciation of music, advanced training, and experience in singing with- out accompaniment to students who desired such work. I This group is the climax of all music courses and members are required to have studied vocal music in all its phases prior to application for membership. Appearances included presentations before the Exchange and Kiwanis Clubs, Lincoln Junior high school, Bac- calaureate service, the Christmas and Spring Concerts, school assemblies, and the Music Week activities. I Emma Louise MacAdams and Shirlie Corbin were student directors, and Joseph Lopez served as librarian and manager. Under the sponsorship of Mr. John Otten the organiza- tion has become one of the most serviceable in the school. 5. 5. i 1 ll l -I 1 3 E r F sul. ll giblela clnhu 'ville Il linlofl er ani I hosen lm A qualulil aumtinn ,mo wsml QHWN gingmllo ave Hull es inclull cho0l1 dthvlll will W U3 e Ofllu t he Bottom Rom: M.

This opera was a picture of English Country life. The theme concerned the adventures of two young gentlewomen who masqueraded as peasant girls. The amusing consequences which result from this dis- guise fumished the basis for an interesting and humorous story. The clever acting and well-trained voices helped much in drawing a capacity crowd at both evening perform- ances. The interesting costumes and appropriate scenery also contributed to the success of the opera. h I Approximately one hundred and ten stu dents, who were members of the high school vocal department, took part in the production. The personnel was as follows: Sir John Bantam, Ernest Kohn, Geoffrey Wilder, Leo Yocum, Harry Sherwood, Edgar Thomas, Jr., John Tuppitt, Everett Berndt, William Lurcher, James Heitsch, Tom Strutt, Elvis Trawick, The Parson, Charles J ehle, Darby, Joseph Gallardo, J oan, Charlotte Bauchat, First Page, Shirlie Corbin, Second Page, Roberta Thompson, The Footman, Robert Mc- Clintock, Dorothy Bantam, Catherine Morris, Lydia Hawthorne, Emma Louise Mac- Adams, Phyllis Tuppitt, Hazel Young, Lady Betty, Nadillae Savage, Mrs. Privett, Marian Nemrava, Solo dancer, Barbara Tooker, Bride's attendants, Phyllis Phipps and Doris Voss, Chorus of Villagers, Guests, and Huntsmen. I Mr. John A. Otten was director of the presentation with Miss Virginia McDermet as dramatic critic. Mrs. Beach assisted by Elma Waterman and Miss Irma Sundling was in charge of the folk dancing. ' THE FAMILY UP-STAIRS THE annual high school play, The Family Up-Stairsf' by Harry Delf, was presented he- fore a capacity house April 15, 16, and 17. Humor predominated the entire comedy of home life. The play concerned the typically American Heller family and their many trials and tribulations. Louise Heller, the daughter, is in love with Charles Grant, although the real center of attraction surrounds Mr. and Mrs. Heller, who are very fond of their children. I The spirit in which the scenery was constructed to duplicate the original design used in the New York presentation was indeed a compliment to the scenic committee Mr W N Viola instructor of Speech Arts and Dramatlcs was the director of the production gill ,t 'I i i edon N re uf mrn L div ani rfom- WE! chad ulnh wmat Ur' aurhti.

L ' k v y t PROGRESS OF YOUTH IN ORDER to commemorate the 300th anniversary of high school education in America the students of Pontiac senior high school presented the pageant, Progress of Youth last fall. I The pageant was given in the boys' gymnasium which was appropriately decorated with blue and silver curtains. In the center of the stage was a huge American Eagle. A special system of lighting was installed, which displayed very advantageously the activi- ties of the groups. The costumes which were all early American period were very colorful and picturesque and aided in making the pageant a success. Throughout the performance a narrator explained the various parts. I The pageant was divided into episodes which depicted progress in the advancement of schools. The first episode was that of a Boston Latin school in the year 1635, in which the pupils were studying Latin under the very strict discipline of the teacher. The sec- ond episode revived the American Academy founded by Benjamin Franklin. This was the first co-educational institution in America. The next scene showed the English clas- sical school which was later changed to English high school. The following two episodes concerned the debates regarding education policies of high schools, and the famous Kalamazoo Case of 1874. Tracing the growth of education from 1917, it was shown that such subjects as printing, machine shop, metal shop, and other industrial arts were added to the curriculum. Between the various episodes, types of dancing from the minuet to modern dancing were shown. I The last part of the program which was presented by the art, speech and music depart- ments brought the pageant to an impressive finale. This event was a platform with two seniors standing upon it raised in the center of the almost totally darkened gymnasium by a group of athletes dressed in their respective uniforms while the band played The Stars and Stripes F oreverf, I Mr. C. T. Forsman was chairman of the program, and Mr. W. N. Viola was the author and director. JUNIOR COLLEGE THE Junior College was organized to enable those students who wish a higher education than high school to secure the advantage of the first year of college work at a reduced cost.

Being an unorganized group little was done by the class as a whole in the sophomore and junior years. -After gaining the coveted goal, that of being seniors, the class was divided into dif- ferent homerooms with the following teach- ers offering their helpfulness and coopera- tion: Mrs. MacAdams, Mr. Wiersema, Mr. Snyder, Miss Paris, and Miss Hunt. Carl Alfsen was named president of the class, Marion Anderson, vice-president, Clarence Erickson, secretary, and Dorothy Rice, treasurer. The Senior Prom took place January 10 under the chairmanship of Swanson Shields, assisted by various com- mittees. Class Day was held at Twin Beach Country club, Tuesday, January 28, with Nelson Davis in charge. I The Baccalaureate Service on January 26 was a main event of the year.

JANUARY CLASS COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN Senior Prom Class Day SWANSON SHIELDS NELSON DAVIS Announcements Caps and Gowns EUGENE IQLEIN HARRY WATKINS I UNE CLASS HISTORY IN September, 1933, the June class of 1936, a group of bewildered sophomores, entered the halls of Pontiac high school for the first time. The new students soon began to re- spond to the spirit of the school and to cooperate with their teachers and fellow students. Many entered the various clubs and activities offered to Msophsf' I The next year found the class slowly gain- ing in confidence. As juniors they became more capable and ready to take their part in school aff airs. The highlight of the year was the J-Hop, which was held May 17, 1935 with Morris Steere as general chairman. I Seniors at last! With eagerness the class looked forward to the activities of its senior year. Harry Woodnian, president, led the class successfully through its last year of school with the help of Mac Campbell, vice- presidentg Ellen Frances Thomas, secre- tary, and Margaret Becker, treasurer. The most colorful event of the year was the Senior Prom. Marie Mahar acted as general chairman of this dance, which was held in the Boys' Gym in the latter part of May. Class Day was held at a popular country club, at which time the class spent a memor- able day playing outdoor sports and danc- ing. VValter Eckhart was chairman of this affair. For those who successfully passed their senior exams, Skip Day proved very enjoyable. Baccalaureate service and Com- mencement concluded the happy high school career of the 1936 .lune class and sent them out to find their places in the waiting world. f?i - Class Oyficers: Harry Xvoodman, President Mas- Campbell, Vice-President Ellen Frances Thomas, Secretary Margaret Becker, Treasurer Bottom Row: R.
