y E S T : 39 R D A y J FIRST IMPRESSION FACULTY RIDE STUDENT ' S WALK . . . WINTER CLOSE-UP WINTER DISTANCE FROM WITHIN FROM WITHOUT . . P R E S E N To Miss Mary E. Rubert, who is honored and admired by all who know her, who sincerely offers her services in all events, and who has faithfully extended her true loyalty throughout her eighteen years as a teacher in Pontiac High School; we, the Quiver Staff, respectfully present this annual. TAT O N ADM I N I S Though change symbolizes American progress, superior leadership is one factor that remains constant. The Pontiac High School of tomorrow will owe a great share of its prominent place in the fore- front of education to the same quality of far-sightedness, sympathy, and human understanding that qualifies the school ' s faculty and administration for the title, Progressive Educators. TR ATION SCHOOL BOARD Coming from all walks of life, the men who com- prised our school board this year worked together with one common purpose in mind — to see that the youth of Pontiac are given all the advantages of modern education. Budgeting school finances for the year, hiring teachers, supervising the activities of the superin- tendent of schools and principals, and the pleasant task of declaring school holidays are some of the tasks that occupy these seven men all year around. Many of these now well known men were, once upon a time, students of Pontiac High. Mr. Lynch, for instance, one of the better known members of the board, probably keeps things going smoothly with this knowledge of constitutionality. Mr. Schimmel and Mr. Blackwood, also alumni of Pontiac High School, undoubtedly could interest students with stories of how things were run when their fingers were in the pie way back in the good old days. Although not a graduate of Pontiac High School, Dr. Mercer not only cures the medical ills of the school board but with the assistance of Mr. Cloonan, well-known pharmacist, president of the board, he does well by a good many Pontiac citizens. Mr. Spence might well be called our builder of modern buildings. The school board has welcomed his new ideas. Mr. Moon with his managing experience in one of our large office buildings lends his support and ability to the board ' s activities. H MOON L. H SCHIMMEL w ' r7 m A - -s M. J CLOOMAM H. L.

His goal is to maintain cooperation amongst the schools and to promote good will. He has the wel- fare of the students at heart and endeavors to establish a smooth running educational system in the city of Pontiac. Mr. Frank J. Dufrain, assistant superintendent of schools, tends to the financial problems of the entire school system. Formerly principal of the high school, he is very much interested in the students. Efficient in all undertakings, he assists the superin- tendent in general supervision of the schools. Mr. John Thors, Jr., principal, has the general supervision of the Pontiac Senior High School. He aids students in making out their curriculums. He is always ready to devote his time to school func- tions. Anything that will benefit the student body receives the ardent support of Mr. Thors. Mr. James C. Covert, assistant principal, is facul- ty adviser for the Student Council. He assists Mr. Thors in matters of general concern to the school. The making out of curriculums, also, falls under his jurisdiction. Among many duties he has charge of a study hall. ' FRANK J. DU FRAIN JOHN THORS JR. JAMES C, COVERT -• j 15 HAZEL ALLCHIN, M. A.

Pontiac High School ' s future insuredly will be bright if its organizations tomorrow continue to train citizens as efficiently as they do today.

To change or not to change the design of the school ring and other emblems has been one of the problems confronting the student council, an organization composed of homeroom presidents. During the first semester the council held a con- test in which students presented original designs. A winner not being selected, the problem was not settled during the semester. Breaking away from school tradition the stu- dent council sponsored, instead of a matinee dance, an evening dance called the Varsity Hop on December 10, 1937. Robert Longpre, president, and Charles Wes- lowski, sergeant-at-arms, attended the Saginaw conference and returned with enthusiasm for a safety-first program in the school. At the begin- ning of the second semester pamphlets were dis- tributed among the student body to carry out the safety project. There was much discussion throughout the se- mester on plans to prevent the rush during the lunch hour, to avoid the disorder during fire drills, and to educate students not to make paths across the campus. This organization is the congress of the school. Through this body students may express their ideas on the school problems and have them carried to the faculty and the administration. The officers were Robert Longpre, president; Chester Givens, vice-president; Esther Anderson, secretary; Claude Hulet, treasurer; Charles Wes- lowski, sergeant-at-arms; Mr. Covert, director.

Because of the short year term, the second semester student council didn ' t start any new project but continued the plan of changing the design of the school rings. Both girls and boys were dissatisfied with the old rings and wanted a decided change in them. The girls felt the rings were too large to look nice or to be comfortable. In order that the real opinion of the student body might be expressed, petitions were passed around by the presidents of the homerooms so that each member who wished a change in the rings could sign them. Most favored design suggested was a gold ring with a black onyx setting. Local jewellers were very helpful in making suggestions concerning the new designs. The al contract said the old rings were to be made until after 1938 but the contractors were obliging by saying graduates in June, 1938 could have their rings at the same price but made with the new design after it was decided upon. Home room presidents were urged by Phi Hawelli, president, and Mr. Covert, faculty ad- viser, to report all details to their homerooms and to get the members ' opinion concerning all mat- ters brought up in the student council. The student council, in an effort to maintain the beauty of the school campus, has had con- tainers placed in convenient spots on the schoo grounds. The Pontiac campus is one of the most beautiful in the state. The containers should help to keep it free from waste paper. Second semester officers are: Phil Haweeli president; Mark Fisher, vice-president; Bernice Vance, secretary; Joe Gallardo, treasurer; and Frank Schmidt, sergeant-at-arms. COUNCIL ? c . QUIVER Where ' s the paste? Who ' s got the dummy ? Go get the typewriter! It ' s just a nightly affair in 317, the new meeting place of the Quiver staff. The staff got off on the right foot by tearing up all traditions and starting anew. The yearbook was edited with the idea of getting in step with the progressive trend abroad in other schools today. One of the new ideas adopted this year was the appointment of sophomore assistants to the staff. As a result more experi- enced editors will serve on future staffs. 1 r I Margaret Moore, editor-in-chief, and Donald Cabral, assistant editor were chosen to direct the 1938 Quiver staff. They were assisted by the f ol lowing persons: Dorothy Hitchcock, literary critic editor; Geneva Slaugh- ter, organizations editor; Marguerite Murphy, underclassmen editor; Lorraine Boice, preliminary pages editor; Elizabeth Howard, January class editor; Esther Jewell, assistant January class editor; Eugenia Baldwin, June class editor; Betty Ogden, assistant June class editor; Margaret MacGregor, feature editor; Terry Smith, art editor; Edgar Tucker and Cyrene Broberg, assist- ant art editors; Ronald Loup, photographer; June Peterson, faculty editor; John McCormick, sports editor; Florence Amos, typist. Jack Edmonson, business manager, assisted by Robert Franklin, managed the sales campaign. Joan Lefurgy, Bruce Crittenden, Clara Aris, and Carolyn Hoce- var were junior assistants while Sylvia Forbes, Shirley Kuenzer, and Louie Lawton were sopho- more assistants. Mr. Steffek served his first year as faculty adviser. QUIVER Lawton, Lefurgy, Slaughter, Moore, Murphy, Forbes, Kuenzer, Boice.

The latest news of the Pontiac High School faculty and student body is found in the Tomahawk, bi-weekly school paper. The news reporters go from room to room gathering the latest activities of clubs, homerooms, athletic and dramatic organizations. News most vital and interesting to the greatest number of readers is selected for publication. The paper has many features: gossip columns, poems, and editorials besides its regular news articles. An attempt is made to publish some news of all organizations in the school and to include the names of as many students as possi- ble. The business staff solicits advertisements from Pontiac merchants in order to help finance the paper. Meetings are held after distributions of each issue in order to discover the reaction of the student body to the issue just published, to dis- cuss errors, and to assign articles for the next copy of the paper. Members of the staff must observe certain rules such as: reporting regular- ly to the staff office, attending meetings, and handing in articles punctually. The editorial staff is as follows: Kathryn Glen- nie, editor-in-chief: Drucilla Ransom, associate editor: Sally Jossman and Helen Jackson, co- news editors: Ruth Mitchell, editorial editor: Margaret Jean Hazel ton, feature editor: Mary Eliza- beth Armstrong, in- side paq Esther Anderson, copy editor: Eleanor • ell, headline editor; Kathleen Kinney, exchange editor - Ma rgaret Jane Elliott, club ed- itor; Victor Sutt. up editor; Lor- raine Boice, files.

To face life squarely and to find and give the best are the slogan and purpose respective- ly of the Girl Reserves. The meetings, which were held every other week on a Monday evening, were opened by the singing of Follow the Gleam and the repetition of the Lord ' s Prayer. After the regular business meeting, the program committee presented a speaker or arranged for some other equally en- tertaining and educational program. Each year a scholarship is given by this organ- ization to some deserving senior girl. The mem- bers were active workers in the Needlework Guild. Some needy families were supplied with milk for two months while during the holiday season Christmas baskets were distributed. The largest and most successful undertaking this year was the Autumn Frolic. This event was sponsored by the Hi-Y and Girl Reserves. Com- mittees from both clubs worked on plans many months so that on November 19, 1937, the event went off smoothly. The girls in the club took care of five booths which included a hot dog stand, a fish pond and a Western Union booth. When Old Man Winter wrapped his arm around Pontiac, the Girl Reserves and Hi-Y pro- moted a party for the two clubs. A joyous eve- ning of tobogganing, skating, feasting, and danc- ing resulted. Kathryn Zedick and Cyrene Broberg attended the annual State Girl Reserve Convention which was held at Grand Rapids. All of these projects were carried out under the direction of Miss Waterman, sponsor; and Kathryn Zedick, president. GIRL RESERVES 28 Hl-Y First row: Storm, Palaian.

Through the service of the Hi-Y, the spectators enjoyed each game munching, for all their worth, on the hot roasted double jointed peanuts and luscious candy bars. Many a cold day was endured by these martyrs to serve the enthusiastic onlookers at the games. Then in the middle of November the loud thunder of hammers and lumber filled the boys ' gym and surrounding territory. On investigat- ing, hard working Hi-Y boys were found to be diligently and laboriously constructing many booths for the Autumn Frolic. The Girl Re- serves worked with the Hi-Y to make possible one of the most successful projects this school has yet witnessed. hter cart of the same month, the resi- dents of Battle Creek, Michigan were surprised to find almost a thousand boys wandering about their streets asking millions of questions about everything. It did not take long to discover that these were Hi-Y boys from all over Michigan attending the annual Older Boys Conference. Pontiac High School was represented by nine boys, and what a grand time they had! Sight- seeing, eating, visiting surrounding plants, sleep- ing, and listening to well known men from Michi- gan and nearby states filled their time. Funds provided a scholarship for one boy who was graduated this year. The club was led by Mr. Baldwin. He was assisted by Ivan Kay, first semester president, and George McGregor, second semester presi- dent.

ORANGE AND BLACK • STUDENT UNION Order, Order, we must have order, by this and the pounding of the gavel David Hogue, president during the first semester and Edgar Whan, second semester president, have called the meetings of the Orange and Black Club to order. This organization, an honorary forensic society composed of students who are skilled in the art of debating and speaking, is sponsored by Mr. Wood. Selling candy, gum, and frostbites at all home- basketball games was the largest outside project carried out by the O and B. Each spring this organization sponsors speech contests in which students who are interested in oratory, declamation, and extemporaneous speaking may enter. The winners are honored at the annual spring banguet with the presentation of letters and pins. Have you been wondering why the attendance at athletic contests has increased or what has boosted the sale of student publications? Both may be attributed to the Student Union Plan. By reducing the cost of admission to all athletic games and decreasing the cost of the u ' ver ar, d Tomahawk, the Student Union has succeeded in bringing the privileges and activities of the school within reach of most of the student body. The 1400 members are notified of coming events by the Herald, a circular published and dis- tributed by the staff of the Student Union. Credit should be given to Jack Edmonson, man- ager, and Mr. Steffek, adviser. O LIBRARY First row: Woel i ■ ' - msii Schulte, Furgy.

HISTORY Meetings were held ' eVe yl_two weeks at the homes of members. The club was active in the Autumn Frolic. The first and second semester presidents were Willa Ainge and Pat Wallace. Miss Cole, the librarian, sponsors the club. Starting a project which they hope will be continued for a number of semesters, the mem- bers of the History club began the study of stores, large and small industries, and historical spots in and about the city of Pontiac. By inter- views with officials and workers, by reading pamphlets, and by making tours through the shops and factories, a few members of the club found information which they reported to other members at one of the semi-monthly meetings. Weiner roasts, participation in the Autumn Frolic, and a trip to Greenfield Village occupied the club ' s time the rest of the year. The president for the first semester was Milli- cent Maurer; second semester, Geneva Slaughter. 33 GIRLS GLEE CLUB First row: McAllister, Irwin, Lonq, Douglas, Easton, Mc- Tavish, Walton, Wood.

They have opportunities to display their talent in their classwork and in the many assemblies and other school affairs. Under the new constitution any member may purchase a merit pin. If, however, she has been in the club for six semesters, including two se- mesters in junior high, she will be presented by the club with a guard. Mr. Bourziel directed this group of approxi- mately 55 girls with the assistance of Mary Jane Long, who was president for the first and second semesters. All public appearances, and there are a lot, ot the A Cappella Choir, are made with the members dressed in their long, blue robes. The best singers of the school are members of this club which is sponsored by Mr. Bourziel. Mem- bership, which is limited to fifty-two students, is by invitation. This group ' s aim is to become acguainted with the best in choral literature in 4 to 8 parts and present them at concerts and school assemblies. The officers for last semester were as follows: president, Leo Yokum; vice-president, Louise secretary, Butler; Madeline Seaks. mester president.

The lights dimmed as a group of young dramatists, commonly called members of Playcrafters Club, sat tensely waiting for the first act of the play which they had journeyed to see. Such was the case at You Can ' t Take It With You and many other plays running in Detroit when the Playcrafters were present. Several members also attended a convention held in Ann Arbor. By doing these various things, the club has suc- ceeded in furthering the interest in the study of dramatics. This year the members, who are students that have participated in school plays, were under the direction of Mr. Viola and Marguerite Murphy, and Charles Fortino, presidents. ' More volume, boys! This is often heard when the Boys ' Glee Club is practicing under the direction of Mr. Bourziel. Many young men having a yearning to sing or maybe croon a little and wishing to be able to appreciate to a greater extent finer music, have enlisted in this organization. Your singing may earn a letter for you provid- ing you have had six semesters of activity in the . lub. This includes two semester credits in junior high school. The officers of the first semester were, presi- dent, Don Nelson; vice-president, Joe Gallardo; secretary, Hilman Fortney; treasurer, Dick Dea- son; pianist, Don Bryce; the second semester were, president, Fred Schumacher; vice-presi- dent, Dick Deason; secretary, Leo Yocum; treas- urer, Hilman Fortney. 35 PHILATELISTS • MASCULINE MASQUES • TRIPLE TRIO Hey! is that type II you ' ve got there, perforation 13x14?

This year 564 of approximately 2800 students represent that culmination in successfully completing the requirements for gradua- tion. The remaining 2200 augmented by constantly increasing numbers of underclassmen hold promise of an ever greater number of men and women who have been effectively trained for community responsibility. M E N JANUARY CLASS OFFICERS Last fall amid the fluttering of many petitions and the flurrying about of excited candidates, the January class elected its officers. Jesse Medlen, president, was prominent for his work in the Student Council, Hi-Y, football and track. Besides, he served as president and vice-president of his homeroom. He stole the honors at commencement, for besides being class president, he was a member of the National Honor Society and one of the eight honor students. Because of a broken leg, which he acquired while trying to imitate the feats of Sonja Henie on the ice, Jesse further distinguished himself by coming to commencement in a wheel chair. The vice-presidency is supposed to be the graveyard of politicians, but this rule didn ' t apply to John McCormick. Because of the president ' s injury, John was called upon to preside over class meetings several times. During his high school career, John belonged to the Student Council, Hi-Y, and Spanish club, and was sports editor of the Quiver. He was elected to the National Honor Society and was among the honor students of his class. Joygje Langford, secretary, was one of the busiest persons l orttiac High. She was secretary of the Student Union sident of the History club, vice-president and secretary er homeroom, and high school bookkeeper and cashier. he was an active member of the Girl Reserves. Much credit is due her for her efficient service as co-chairman of the Autumn Frolic in November, 1937. Joyce, too, was a member of the National Honor Society. In the early fall of 1937 the January class entrusted to John Becker its magnificent treasury of no dollars, no cents. Under John ' s capable management, it flourished and grew until there was plenty of money for necessities and a little left over for luxuries. However, the treasurer had other interests besides financial matters. He belonged to the Student Council, Hi-Y, Varsity club, the swimming team, and the Usher ' s club in the course of his high school term. 42 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY First I ' . : Smith.

Each semester I have the privilege of an- nouncing. . . . : and a few boys and girls return to class, their faces wreathed in happy smiles. It is indeed a proud moment for those students who are elected to the National Honor Society of Pontiac High. They have been striving for this goal for three years, have studied hard, have been good citizens, have served their school in many ways, and have been leaders among their classmates. Now, in return for their good work, the school has given them the highest honor it can grant. The group of January seniors elected to the National Honor Society include Norma Arms Alfred Burt, Donald Cabral, Betty Cannon, Dor- othy Enfield, Ann Evely, John Farnham, Dallas Haun, David Hogue, Elizabeth Howard, Esther Jewell, Ivan Kay, Joyce Langford, Robert Long- pre, John McCormick, Jesse Medlen, Ruth Owens, Donna Pennell, Jean Seeley, Terry Wayne Smith, and Abram Snyder. They were accepted as full-fledged members in the traditional can- dlelight initiation ceremony and received official certificates of membership. • ' •■ f _ f WILMA ACKERMAN BEATRICE ALLEN GLENN ALLEN NORMA ARMS GALE ASHTON WESLEY ASHTON ANNA BAKER ft JOHN BAKER t m d «4 . i GLADYS BAUER (ft v 9 JOHN BECKER DOROTHY BEERS JACK BENNETT ETHELYN BEST PEGGY BICKERSTAFF ALLEENE BOND FLORENCE BRIGGS PHYLLIS BROOKSHEAR EVELYN BROWN 44 Click. . . .click. . . . clicl . . . .

However, this is easily ex- plained when we learn that his hobby is amateur radio. His fondness of sports is proven by the fact that he played football for three years. During this last season, he was captain of the varsity team. Ernie also has been in the Varsity, Spanish, and Hi-Y clubs. In the fall he will enter the University of Michigan where he will continue his studies. S-K, S-K, S-K. Auburn-haired Andy Pepper, as vice-president, has helped Ernie solve the numerous problems of the June class of 1938. Although he has been a member of El Circulo Espahol and treasurer of Room 302, most of his time has been taken up by his hobby, sea scouting. He is planning to attend Hillsdale College in the fall, but he isn ' t certain as to what course he will follow. Marguerite Murphy, the secretary of the June senior class, is really a New Englander at heart. She was born in New Haven, Connecticut. During her high school career, she has been a member of Girl Reserves, National Honor Society, and Playcrafters. Peg has been very prominent in dra- matics during the past three years. One of the outstanding events of her stay at Pontiac High School was her 4-star performance in the premier showing of Youth Marches On. Senator Slaughter is the way the news headlines will read in future years if the treasurer of the June class, Geneva Slaughter, fulfills her ambition. Her club activities at high school have been varied. Among them are: O u i ver . Toma- hawk, Girl Reserves, Student Council, and Library club. Her competition in debating admitted her to the Orange and Black club during her senior year. She will enter Olivet this fall. 52 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY rv;o- t l5- yrifi JUNE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY First row: Strong, Kimball, Edmonson, Moore, Whan, McGregor, Dawson E kstone Hulet, Dempsey, Trueblood.

Thus the call comes twice a year for the select few of the upper one-third of the graduating classes who are elected to membership of the National Honor Society. The office makes up a list of the upper one- third of the graduating class and submits it to the faculty. Then they nominate those whom they think are worthy of membership, according to character, service, leadership, and scholarship. The names of those who are nominated are then put on another ballot and sent to a faculty com- mittee, composed of 12-B and 1 2- A homeroom teachers, activity directors, and the permanent National Honor Society Committee. This com- mittee elects the members. However, if they should be unable to decide upon some of the member ' , the permanent National Honor Society Committee has the final decision. Mrs. Whit- field, Miss Waterman, Mr. Baldwin, Mr. Snyder, and Mr. Steffek make up this committee. 53 RICHARD ACRE WILLA AINGE GAYLORD ADDISON MARY AGORGIANITIS JEAN ALBERT JUNE ALFSEN ESTHER ANDERSON JACK ANDERSON ALICE APPLETON THEODORE ASTLEY EDNA ATTWATER GEORGE AULGUR 3EN BACKUS JUNE BAILEY EUGENIA BALDWIN CLARENCE BALL EVELYN BALLARD 54 And may I help you, please? says petite Miss Tiebout of the Library Staff as she steps to help bewildered sophomores or confident seniors.

An effective athletic program not only insures a clean body but inculcates a lasting sense of fair play. Pontiac citizens may well boast of their school system if tomorrow finds today ' s high standards the basis for competition and training in athletics. E T I C S COACHES One of the best liked members of the faculty, Hart has completed his eleventh year as a coach for Pontiac High School. His coaching activities follow the sea- sons: in the fall, he is the football mentor; in the winter, he guides the swimming team; in the spring, Hart pilots the baseball nine. Two years ago, as recogni- tion for his fine work, he was appointed head coach. Since ' 29 when Norris came to Pontiac High he has had full charge of the track team. 1938 marks the fourth year that he has coached basketball teams which have set praiseworthy records. In addition to these activities Harve has been a determining factor, as head line coach, in shaping up the Chiefs grid squad. h LINE B. HARTMAN Head ( Gus Bartells, the youngest member of the coach- ing staff in point of service, has had full charge of coaching the reserve football and basketball squads. In addition to several gym classes, he directs the golf team. Ted, as he is known to all his friends, is the faculty manager of athletics. Included in his duties are: arranging schedules, hiring officials, issuing equipment, and handling finances. During the seven years that Ted has taught at Pontiac High, he has coached several sports although he now teaches biology. Kent, who teaches social science at Washington Junior High, is the fourth member of the football strategy staff in that each fall he serves as assistant line coach and football scout.

Its mem- bership is made up of lettermen who have carried the pigskin, jumped the hurdles, batted the horse- hide and taken part in other sports. The club carried out the promotion of school spirit by making and selling pins during the football and basketball seasons. The proceeds went toward the financial support of athletics and helped fi- nance the club ' s part of the annual football banquet sponsored jointly with the Hi-Y Club. Regular meetings are held every other Monday night at which time plans and programs for the extension of the club ' s purpose are considered. The officers of the first semester were: Worley Smith, president; Harold Hackett, vice president; Ernest Marsh, secretary; Mr. Wiersema, adviser. Second semester officers are: Harold Hackett, president: Frank Schmidt, vice-president: Floyd Walls, secretary and treasurer; Bob Going, ser- geant-at-arms. 39 li ' l MMII ' fP I ft ft ■£ r _ _$ ?S 34f47% f 24jf $|- i 32 VARSITY First ayga Pntchard.

FOOT The Big Chiefs ended their season with a tally of one win, one tie and six losses. In the record, the season went rather badly; but this tells nothing of the rest of the story. The gridders were really champions in their dogged determin- ation and display of courage under the handicap of injuries and hard breaks. With this kind of determined effort, especially outstanding among the younger fellows who will be back next year, the ' 39 season will see a winning Pontiac team. The little brown jug, which has for several years been the object of keen rivalry between Pontiac and Port Huron, was lost to Port Huron, having been in our possession the past year. However, with the undaunted courage of our lads, the jug will come back to Pontiac next season. Hart continued the practice of awarding medals to the outstanding players of each game. At the Annual Football Banquet medals were awarded to Worley Smith, Bob Wall, Bob Kayga, Jack Storm, Harold Strong, Frank Schmidt, Jack Crew, and Glenn Diebert. Honorable mention for the All State Eleven was given Bob Wall, Worley Smith, Harold Hack- ett, and Don Nelson. A few lettermen returned from last season and twenty-four fellows received letters for this year ' s work. At the same banquet the entire squad presented Hart with a ring. 90 RESERVE First row: Ferguson, Chapman, Thomas, Dirtie, Lehigh, Wingate, V. row: Rand, Lang, Blocler, McNeary Monngo, Riec!;, Manning, M ,.,.,. i Third row: Soutar.

BALL The first call for practice attracted seventy-five fellows and fifty-five suits were immediately is- sued. As the season progressed the squad was reduced to thirty-three members who remained for the rest of the season. Some of the fellows whom Coach Bartells has hopes of promoting to the first team next year are: Linemen, Myers, Fisher, Opdyke, Thomas, Bell; and back field men, Manning, Lehigh, Jones and Wingate. The ' Little Chiefs closed their season with a record of one win and five losses.

Coach Norris ' Varsity cagers fought a tough schedule winning 7 out of 12 league games and taking two outside games, one from St. Freder- icks and another from Royal Oak. The chiefs placed third in the Valley league, being nosed out of second position in their last ' tilt with Flint Northern. Prospects for the future looked pretty bad for Coach Norris at the first practice since several fellows whom he had counted on failed to report. But Harve developed a determined, skillful five. Pee Wee Walls completed his final season on the court for Pontiac High and leaves behind a brilliant record. Floyd was unanimously chosen All-Valley forward receiving the largest num- ber of votes ever given a Pontiac High School athlete. Besides this Pee Wee hit the bucket for I 16 points making him high point man. Sam- BASKET my Seay ' s tries were good for 78 points and Phil Haweeli came in third with a total of 55. Seay, Walls, and Haweeli will not be back next year but several promising fellows are coming up from the reserves.

Besides the league games, they had two outside skirmishes, one with Royal Oak and the other with the Lions Store five, winning them both by large margins. The position of high point man was, up until the very end of the season, practically a toss up between Seay and Haweeli. Seay, however, came out the victor with a total of 88 points, Haweeli running a close second with a record of 77 points. Martusiewicz, Seay, and Haweeli were moved up to the Varsity Squad at the near end of the season, thus making two brother combinations in the first team line-up, two Haweeli and two Seay boys. Next season several of the other fellows are slated for promotion to the first squad. Bill Stoddard showed up well during the entire season and is a likely candidate for the varsity next year.

BASE The ' 38 sandlot campaign was launched with six veterans returning and many candidates seek- ing positions on the nine. About 100 fellows reported for the initial practice and went through their paces under the watchful gaze of Coach Hartman. The regular outfielders of last season received their diplomas in January and as a result Hart will have to send in all new recruits to patrol the outer garden. The six men returning from last year will take care of the infield. Walls will w ork on the mound and occasionally in the hot corner, Going will patrol the first base ter- ritory, Haweeli will be at shortstop, Reading and McVittie will bend to their task on the mound with Schmidt doing the major part of the receiv- ing. The Chiefs will be unable to complete in the Valley League this season since the shortened school year cuts the usual 12 game schedule against other Valley teams down to 7 contests.

TRACK To the call for track candidates came the re- sponse of sixty-five fellows, ready to vie for regular berths on the cinder squad. Among these were four veterans who fought for the cause last season. Several of the veteran track- men from ' 37 will not be back, having taken their exit via the way of the diploma. Jim McGhee, the all event man who bagged 1 20 l 4 points last season; Jack Powerhouse McDowell who tucked away first in the shot put at the regionals last summer, and Don Nelson, a member of the championship relay team, were among those ab- sent from the roll call. But the recruits, upon whom Coach Norris will have to rely strongly, look good and the lads should have a successful campaign. 1938 TRACK SCHEDULE OPPONENTS 5.

TEAM The outstanding event of Pontiac ' s 1937 Track season was the copping of the State Cham- pionship by the relay team composed of McGee, Nelson, Stoddard, and Seay. These fellows also won individual honors for themselves. Stoddard burned the cinders in the 100 yard dash. McGee, the human lightning Bolt ran both the 100 and 220 yard dash and also excelled in the broad jump. Nelson brought home many points in the 220 yard dash and Sammy Seay, the lanly boy, leaped the hurdles and helped boost the score for the Chiefs in many a meet by his efforts in the broad jump. About 100 boys responded to the first call for practice. This number was whittled down to 35 fellows who remained for the rest of the season. Chesley was the star miler and he, with McGee and Seay, brought home the bacon in the regionals. -: I ,1 f rp fc i ■ ' ' 38 SQUAD GOLF First row: Duffy, Pinho, DeLorqe Veneman, Pentuik, Stults.

Bowling was a weekly pastime with special attention given to scoring. Tennis was also a popular recrea- tion of the lassies this year. The tennis classes met after school and were limited to senior A girls. No tournaments or contests were held since all the members were re- quired to be beginners and the ob- ject was to learn the fundamentals of the game. In the volley ball league the Know Nothings took the championship, winning 9 out of 10 after school games. Eve- lyn ' s Gang came in second with 7 wins out of 10 tries. Besides all this the girls spent part of their class periods learning various types of dancing under the supervision of Mrs. Beach. A night demonstration was pre- sented to the public by the com- bined girls ' and boys ' gym classes.

Mr. Bevington. You didn ' t know this, did you? — What do you suppose Miss Tuck has her eye on now? — One — two — three — go! By the way, where do you think you are going, Jack? — Hey, slow down, Bill. Louise can ' t keep up with you. — What a mob! Cher- ish this dearly, boys and girls. — It will bring memories of sad part- ings — (between you and hard earned two dollars.) 109 19 3 8 Indoor sports out doors. — There ' s nothing like a good game of bridge. — Summer time offers much, doesn ' t it? — Helen and Phyllis: Those smiles would make good tooth paste ads.

The bonnie lassie in the lower left corner is Helen Keller. (I know she doesn ' t need any label.) — I ' ll bet this turned out to be a successful home room party. Looks like there were plen- ty of eats. — And now Mary Jane supplies us with a final touch. Playing at the basketball games was not the only accomplishment of the band. — They make an excel- lent cheering sguad. — Next: Rose- mary, you tell ' em what not to do. — The Big Apple was in full swing at the Junior Jamboree. By all reports it was a great day in history. — Basket-ball games were well attended this year. Here is the proof. — The Autumn Frolic, before and at it ' s height. — It was a grand success. — I OB Mixers are looked forward to twice each year too, and now — No more room, No more space.
