Pontiac Senior High School - Quiver Yearbook (Pontiac, MI)

Our American Heritage by Norene Spencer Education of its citizens is imperative to a Democracy. American standards of schooling demand that each student shall have every opportunity to develop the characteristics of a good citizen, an informed, unprejudiced mind and a character worthy of respect. Pontiac Senior High School has provided an unlimited op¬ portunity for accomplishing these things. We as individuals have accepted the chal¬ lenge set forth to us. The teachers have worked hand in hand with us and under their expert tutelage we are equipped for our entrance into the world which we meet upon graduation, whether it be into the halls of higher learning or into the business world of our city. This opportunity of becoming a better citizen for our country through education is provided equally toward all, and it is our duty to accept the challenge to prove ourselves and others that we are willing to become the kind of citizen that America desires.

Green, inexperienced Editor- in-Chief, learned that Mr. Steffek, the standby of former editors had moved to Grosse Point, deserting me in my hour of need . . . There was little reason for worry ... I dis¬ covered this after peeking into room 311 for a glimpse of the new faculty advisor. What I thought to be a new addition to our ranks of seniors turned out to be Mr. Jervis, the “Boss’ for the ensuing year . . . I have learned a lot about the why’s and wherefore’s of a yearbook under Mr. Jervis’ supervision and the students who made up my staff were wonderful . . . The highlight of the first semester as Editor proved to be the National Scholastic Press Association convention field in Cleveland, Ohio, November 28-30th. This was attended by ye “ed and Carol Jean Peruchi, January Class Editor. While in Cleveland we met many students from other yearbook and newspaper staffs. The second semester . . . down came the pressure . . . at last I knew what editing a yearbook was like ... A headache every day until the final copy was written and the last engraving sent in. In the above picture members of the staff can he seen working industriously,—well, Peggy Fisher is working . . . Ray Wells, Business Manager, and Gerry Diehl and Thelma Rice can be seen watching Peg slave away over her Quiver duties . . . with two other staff members supervising the job. . . . Being the Editor only went to make my Senior year more profitable and enjoyable . . . Here I wish to pass along the fun of editing, together with the occasional headache, to the editor of the 1942 Quiver. —by Noretie Spencer Page one
