ORCHESTRA This year marked the 25th anniversary of the orchestra, a group which contributed much to the cultural life of the school. The orchestra aided in sponsoring the annual May festival and the spring concert. The money from the spring concert was used to repair instruments, buy music, and aid in paying other expenses of the instrumental organization. Several members entered the Southeastern Michigan solo and ensemble festival held at Dearborn during February. Those who entered were Elizabeth Webb, Lois Taft, Lucille Ponn, Ellen Coleman, Donald Troyer, Royal Yocum, Hugh Cooper, and Eugene Ketehel. A number of students also entered the Michigan solo and ensemble festival which was held in Ann Arbor in April. Music was furnished by this group for the One-Act Festival and the Mid- year Commencement exercises as well as several assemblies. The personnel of the orchestra included: First violins — 1.

PLAYCRAFTERS CLUB Membership in the Playcrafters was open to a student who had participated in the school play, been a member of a scenic committee, or who was enrolled in a dramatic class. The club sponsored the annual Playcrafters ' ball and the Parents ' reception. Under the general chairmanship o f Margaret Lynch, the ball was a memorable event. The program given at the Parents ' reception included plays, puppet shows, and make-up demonstrations. Viola Nicholie was general chairman. Lauren Davis and Margaret Lynch officiated as presidents for the first and second semes- ters respectively. This club was organized in 1926 for students who were interested in further study in dramatics. MASCULINE MASQUES The boys of the Playcrafters club auto- matically attain membership in the Mascu line Masques. Among the activities of this organiza- tion was the production of plays for the stu- dent body and other groups. In the fall Whole Loyalty , a football comedy, was presented as an assembly program. This play was dedicated to Mr. Hartman and the football team. Lauren Davis and Joe Kaul officiated as presidents during the first and second se- mesters respectively.

The officers were: Millicent Maurer, president; Sally Jossman, vice-president ; Robert Harper, secretary; Robert Whitfield, treas- urer. Miss LeRoy was faculty ad- viser. EPISTOLAE SCHOLAE The Epistolae Scholae, a pub- lication that has flourished suc- cessfully since its founding in 19- 25, contained articles of interest from every language department in the senior and junior high schools. Audrey Decker was elected ed- itor-in-chief by the Latin VIII class. Miss Sara LeRoy served as faculty adviser. II SPANISH CLUB This club was organized last fall for students interested in in- creasing their knowledge of the lives of Spanish speaking people through the study of their envir- onment, customs, language, and history. Mr. Neil W. Gray of the Span- ish department was responsible for its organization. i « i U M Seated: Mr. Hartman, Mr. Norris, Mr. Bands.— Standing: Mr. Wiersema, Mr. Bowsher. COACHES Kline Hartman completed his tenth year as a coach at Pontiac high and his first year as head football coach. In addition to these duties Hart guided Pon- tiac ' s swimming and baseball fortunes. Under his tutelage many fine teams have been produced. Much of his spare time is spent in woodworking. Harvey Norris had charge of the remaining major sports. Harv ' s most im- portant post was that of head basketball coach. He is compiling an excellent re- cord in this branch of athletics. Last fall he assisted Hartman with the football team by coaching the linemen; Norris also taught several gym classes. Gustave Bartels, the latest addition to the Pontiac coaching staff, took charge of both the reserve football and basketball teams. Under his direction the latter team continued the fine winning streak set by last year ' s squad. He also developed sev- eral promising football players for the Varsity. Theodore Wiersema was the faculty manager of athletics. Among his many duties were arranging schedules, hiring officials, issuing equipment, and many others too numerous to mention. Although few students know it, Ted once coached sev- eral sports at Pontiac high. During the past few years he has taught in the biology department. Mr. Wiersema also was the sponsor of the Varsity club. Until this year Herman Otto was a familiar figure on the gridiron assisting in his able way with the coaching duties. This past season Otto devoted all his time to tutoring the golf squad. Kent Bowsher worked for the third year with the football squad turning in a good job. This young mentor was a member of the Social Science department of Washington junior high school. Page Fijty-four l-.il- Bottom Rote: J. Can, R. Butler, M. Kazakos, R, Anderson, !• ' .

RESERVE FOOTBALL The first practice attracted seventy-five boys for the reserve football squad. As usual the number of candidates decreased each night until only twenty-five were left. This number remained throughout the sea- son. The squad was coached by Gus Bartels under whose tutelage several promising players were devel- oped for the 1937 varsity. This year the practice of advancing a boy to the first team as soon as he showed promise was abolished; nevertheless, the line-up was constantly shifted in order to give every boy an oppor- tunity to play. The chief difficulty in developing football players at rontiac high seems to lie in getting the boys to come oui in their sophomore year. Boys who are interested in the game usually wait until their junior year before gathering enough courage to try out for reserve foot- ball. It takes at least one season to develop fundamen- tals and ?ain experience which leaves only one year to play on the varsity. This problem of inducing the boys to come out in their sophomore year is the coaches ' ureatest concern. The Little Chiefs played six games and won thre? of them Among the boys whom Coach Bartels expects to make the first squad next season are B:ll Moore, Don Wilhelm. Jesse Medler, Wallace Kelly, Gordon Leaman, Robert Butler, and Bert Prichard. The latter was elect- ed captain of next year ' s squad. The ends were Harry Martin. V. L. Martin, and William Kennedy; the guards were Alfred Almv and Ted Kentros; the tackle was Louis Smith. RESULTS Opponent II . Th Rochester ii 32 Si.

The Chiefs defeated Port Huron 9-0 to gain this coveted symbol of football supremacy between the two schools. Another outstanding accomplishment of the 1936 season was the defeat of Flint Northern, the Chiefs most bitter rival. This triumph was celebrated by a victory march through the downtown section of the city. Although the team won these two games, it was unable to take the Sag- inaw Valley title. Pontiac ' s hopes for the championship were blasted even be- fore the season started. Harold Hackett, upon whom Coach Hartman had counted to do the punting, suffered a broken ankle in early season practice. George Comas, varsity quarterback, was seriously injured in the Port Huron game and was out the remainder of the season. Gerald Bovvers became ill and was out practically all the rest of the campaign. These three injuries were the greatest factors in Pontiac ' s downfall. Hartman continued the practice of awarding a medal to the best player of each game. The winners were : Jobe Howell, who starred in the Birming- ham game; Jack McDowell, who did so well in the Royal Oak game; Vincent Gottschalk, who was elected most valuable player in the contest with Owosso; George Comas, in the Arthur Hill game; Bill Kinney, in the Flint Northern game; Harlin Fraumann, in the Port Huron game; Randall Vought, in the Flint game; Ernest Marsh, in the Saginaw game; and Gerald Bowers, in the game with Bay City.

VARSITY FOOTBALL , or rt Page Fifty-seven VARSITY BASKETBALL With a complete team returning from last year, the entire student body entertained prospects for a very bright basketball season. Although the chiefs won eight of their fourteen games their outstanding accomplishment was the winning of the regional trophy. This was Coach Harvey Norris ' second region- al title in three years of coaching the Varsity basketball team, a record which speaks for itself. Coach Norris ' original starting team consisted of Hubert Price and Clar- ence Markeson, forwards; Harlin Fraumann, center, and Vern Markley and Jack McDowell, guards. Later in the season Floyd Walls and Warren Hartt took over the forward positions and Price replaced Fraumann at center. This combination proved too much for the Chiefs ' regional opponents and they won all their games by a large margin. Walls and Hartt provided the spark neces- sary to put the Chiefs on their winning streak. The team ended the season by reaching the quarter finals in the state tournament where they were eliminated by Fordson. Hubert Price took top honors in the individual scoring. Ducky hit the basket for seventy-four points. Peewee Walls was next with fifty points, followed by Markley with forty-eight, and Hartt with forty-seven. Letters were earned by every player on the squad.

About twenty-five boys turned out for the team at the beginning of the season. This number was soon cut to fifteen players who were earned throughout the winter. The squad consisted of about ten soph- omores and five juniors. Battels planned to have two teams, one of sophomores and one of juniors ; however, since the sophomores outnumbered the juniors this plan was abandoned. The team that started most of the games was made up of four sophomores and one junior. The forwards were Jack Farms and Gordon Leaman. Harold Stevens jumped center and the guards were Robert w ' eckle, a junior, and James Harrington. Ccach Bartels expects these five boys to make the Varsity next year and give the regulars a battle for their positions. There will also be several boys re turning to the Reserves for experience who are ex- pected to make the Varsity in their senior year. Gordon Leaman easily topped the individual scorers with eighty-one points. Leaman was an out standing player throughout the season and may be expected to show some fine work next year. His nearest competitor was Bob Weckle who hit the meshes for sixty-one points. Farms was third in the scorine; with fifty-eight points. He was followed by Harrington with forty-four and Stevens with forty- one points. Pa ■ Si.xt) I- I □a Bottom row. R. Longpre. L. Smith, I ' ,. Lalone, J. Becker. J. Crew, I [artman.

SWIMMING Coach Hartman deserves much credit this year for the development of a team with an almost entirely changed personnel horn last year s aggregation. With only two lettermen returning for the season, ' Hart made it known that several berths on the team were open ; that any boy in school who could prove his worth would be placed on the squad. Although the record for the season was not as impressive as last year, the boys wen several meets and finished the schedule with a ringing victory over a squad from Mount Clemens. While the Bather tankmen were held to 19 points, the Chiefs rolled up a total of 65 tallies, taking all first and second places except two. This showed how the team in general had improved as the year progressed. James Cappell was one of the best swimmers on the squad. His specialty was the individual medley, a new event instigated this year. John Becker, who was a mediocre swimmer at the beginning of the season improved greatly in his event, the hundred yard backstroke. Charles Cappell was very proficient in the diving event and scored the most points, 53. The winners of monograms were: Becker, J Cap- pell, C. Cappell, Crawford, Crew, Gilbo, Going, Nelson, Longpre, and L. Smith. Of this group, six will be back for at least one season next year.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The Pontiac chapter of the National Honor Society was es- tablished in 1924. It is a branch of the national institution or- ganized by Dr. William B. Owen, principal of the South Side Acad- emy at -Chicago. Its emblem is the keystone bearing a flaming torch with the letters S, L, C, and S at the base. These symbols represent Scholarship, Leadership, Character, and Service, quali- ties which all candidates must possess To create enthusiasm among students to gain distinction in these attributes is the pur- pose which the organization represents. Eleven members of the January class who received th.s hon- or were initiated into the society in March, 1936, and ten others became members last November. Members elected from the January 1936 class were: Shirlie Corbin, Jack Covert, Stuart Hollister, Mary Kentros, Lenora Fehk- sa, Robert Marsh, William Prevette, Harriette Pearson, Eva Wheel- er, Dorothy, Woodley, Phyliss Baldwin, Garner Britten, Roy Cool- ey, Martha Jean Creswell, Robert Farms, Vincent Gottschalk, Ted Linabury, Theodora Maytag, Emma Louise MacAdams, Virginia Russell, and Jean Slater. Page Sixty-seven JANUARY HONOR STUDENTS These two pages in our book are devoted to the seven honor students. They were chosen on the merits of scholastic ability. Jean Creswell and Stuart Hollister tied for first place; Vincent Gottschalk, second; Mary Kentros, third; Harnette Pearson, fourth; Robert Farms, fifth; and Jean Slater, sixth. Jean Creswell was very active throughout her h.gh school career. She was a member of the National Honor Society and the student council. Jean showed interest in outside work by having membership in the Math club and Tomahawk. She displayed her executive qualities by act- ing as secretary of her homeroom and treasurer of the Girl Reserves. Orchestra and volleyball served as an out- let for her ambitions in music and sports. Another of the intelligentia was Stuart Hollister. He was associated with the Chem-Physics club and was a chemistry lab. assistant. He was elected to the National Honor Society because of his leadership, character, schol- arship, and serviceable qualities. His interest in sports was indicated by h.s being a member of the swimming team. Stuart ' s name was never absent from the honor roll. The leader of the seniors during their last year was Vincent Gottschalk, better known as Dink , an all around student. He was elected honorary captain and the most valuable player on the 1936 football team. Being inter- ested in dramatics he was a member of the Playcrafters and Masculine Masques and was in the cast of the school play, Seventeen. He was elected to the National Honor Society and student council. ' ; Si. ty-eight JANUARY HONOR STUDENTS Mary kentros was very active during her three years at Pontiac senior high. She enrolled in ail the art courses the school curricula affords to students. Among her many activities was her work orj the school paper, the Toma- hawk.

Divided into fourteen homerooms, the Sophs immediately swung into action by electing homeroom officers. It was not long before many of them began to take advantage of the diverse activities offered in the school. The main event of the junior year was the J-Hop held May 9, 1 936, in the girls ' gym with approximately one hundred twenty-five couples attending. The prom was under the direction of Max Beach with the assistance of the fol- lowing chairmen: June Kemp, programs and favors; Eleanor Slonaker, decor- ations; James Guinan and Willis Selden, orchestra; Eleanor Cram and Marion Hodges, patrons and patronesses; Marion Sibley, publicity; Robert Backen- stose, tickets ; Harlin Fraumann and Lawrence Handren, date ; Alvah Osworth, cleanup. At the beginning of the senior year, enthusiasm was h:gh in anticipation of the climax of all senior hopes, graduation. The senior homerooms were under the direction of: Miss Wilson, Miss Davenport, Miss Sweitzer, Mrs. Buckley, Mr. Spotts, Mr. Powers, Miss O ' Hara, Mrs. Christian, and Mr. Baldwin. The follow- ing were chosen presidents of their homerooms: Betty Jane Owen, Audrey Decker, May Filer, Jack Fauble, Gilbert Lee, John McCormick, Charles Cap- pell, Clifford Huntoon and Gerald Bowers. Thirty-four members of this class received the coveted award of member- ship to the National Honor Society. Twenty-three seniors were elected in the fall of 1936 and eleven last spring. In the fall of the year, the class selected their officers. The results of the election were: Harlin Fraumann, president; Viola Nicholie, vice-president; Mar- ion Sibley, secretary; and John Appleton, treasurer. Shortly after the election of class officers, the president, with the approval of the other officers, appointed the chairmen of the various class committees. The Senior Prom, held in the latter part of May, was under the chairmanship of James Guinan. The social activities of the year were brought to a close on Class day. Donald Cleveland acted as General Chairman of this event. Baccalaureate Service on June 1 3 and Commencement June 1 7 brought to a conclusion the high school careers of the class of nineteen hundred and thirty-seven.
