Mr. Thors, former stoogie” of the University of Michigan, is pictured with his efficient secretary, Mrs. Marguerite Houghton. Mr. Thors, who has held down the post of Principal of Pontiac High School, was a former history teacher from 1921 to 1925. He was promoted to assistant principal in September, 1925 and held A school without supervision is like a Quiver without pictures. A school the size of Pontiac High School could not possibly run smoothly without the aid of people with designated duties, carried out to the greatest of their abilities. The Board of Education appoints certain people of responsibility and capability to carry out their appointments and re¬ lies on them to keep the school system on the “up and up’’ continually. The school system of Pontiac runs smoothly and with a great amount of efficiency under the able supervision of Mr. Robert B. French, Superintendent of Schools. Under Mr. French, in Pon¬ tiac High School, work Mr. John Thors, Jr., principal, and Mr. J. C. Covert, assistant principal. M. F. DuFrain occupies the position of assist¬ ant superintendent of schools under Mr. French. Mr. Robert B. French, as you probably know, is the Superintendent of Schools in the Pontiac school sys¬ tem. He has charge of all the matters which come into his presence concerning the schools of Pontiac. THE 1942 QUIVER The School Board has the final “say-so in financial and other matters of all of the Pontiac public schools. Its members included Mr. Robert Oliver, Mr. W. Archie Parker, president, Mr. F. N. Thiefels, Mr. Erwin O. Slater, vice-president, Mr. Milo D. Mc- Lintock, Mr. H. L. Blackwood, and Mr. Louis Schimmel. Mr. French had special conferences with the seniors in the June graduating class to discuss the problems they would have to face after their departure from the halls of learn¬ ing, Pontiac Senior High School. Mr. Covert, Mr. Thors, and Mr. Snyder all attended a convention in the windy city of Chicago during the first semester of the school year. It was held for the commercial teachers of the public schools. While on the topic of conventions, it might be added that Mr. French attended a convention for all superintendents of public schools in that state where it never rains, California. Oh, for the life of a teacher such as these! Mr. C overt had an honor placed upon his broad shoulders this past school term. He was appointed the Chief of the local Y.M.C.A. The Senior High School lost many days of precious (?) school due to the war sugar rationing plan that was adopted early in the Spring of 1942. The teachers were all “draft¬ ed to help register the applicants who came to the schools of the state for their cards. Although the teachers protested more than once because of the loss of school and the harm that it might do to the students in their subjects, we “studes didn’t seem to mind, and we looked forward to the next few days of vacation booked for us in the near future. The teachers’ services were also demanded in the draft registration of registrees in the 20 to 45 age limit and in the new draft registration of the men of the community in the 45 to 64 age limit. All in all, in conclusion, we should com¬ pliment the entire school system for the splendid way in which they have carried out the duties laid upon their shoulders. Top to bottom: Mr. Russell was perhaps the least known of the members of the faculty. He is the principal of the Vocational De¬ partment. One of his most hard felt losses was that of losing his secretary, Nancy Brown, to the T.W.A. this Spring. Mr. Covert worked “hand in hand’’ with Mr. Thors in running P.H.S. As assistant principal, he had more personal conferences with the “studes” of P.H.S. Mr. DuFrain, Assistant Superintendent of Schools, worked along with Mr. French in all matters concerning the Pontiac schools.

On the first floor, the main office of the school, office of the superintendent of schools, and the general offices of the school administration are included. The vocal classes, English, social science, biology, and gym are taught on bookstore is also V PONTIAC HIGH SCHOOL 11 These members of the faculty are less heard of than any other group of faculty members. Many students have never heard of several of these illustrious gentlemen of learning. They could be called, in a literal sense, “keys to the defense of their country.” Mr. Preston left in the middle of the school year to join the ranks of the Army Engineering Corps. Mr. Weizenberger and Mr. Healy Ever wondered, —“Aw, why take drafting, printing, or automotives? It’s no fun!” Well, let’s explore into all of the benefits which were offered in the vocational department of Pontiac High School. The course in printing gave a valuable back¬ ground in hand composition, layout, pattern, and cylinder press work. Those who were lucky enough to know that they would like to become mechanical workers, were probably interested in the machine shop classes offered. These courses prepared them for future apprenticeship in the die making and ma¬ chinist’s trade, and other similar positions. Did I hear you say that you’re interested in the layout, cutting, assembling, and installation of sheet metal work? Well, all this and more was included in the course known as sheet metal work. From enrollment in this class, you could be ap¬ have been added to the Vocational Department teaching staff. The pictured vocations faculty, left to right are: Mr. Bacon, Mr. Clark, Mr. Graff, Mr. Harboldt, Mr. Healy, Mr. Otto, Mr. Shara, Mr. Sibley, Mr. Smith, Mr. Snavely, Mr. Trimpe, Mr. Vezzani, Mr. Weisenberger, and Mr. Wignall. prenticed into the heating, ventilation, aircraft welding, or auto body fabrication. The drawing-up of plans, ideas or information used in the construction of autos, buildings, etc., were stressed and devoured by those of you who were interested in the course of drafting. This course led to apprenticeships in machine and build¬ ing trades. Pattern making taught a method of making wood patterns so that metal casts could be made from them. Training for an automobile mechanic requires more knowledge than the average student realizes, as was brought out in the automotives course offered to those interested. Because of the present crisis, and the growing interest in flying, a course in aircraft mechanics was included in the vocational program. The main¬ tenance, construction, and repair of engines and Under the Music Department, came many subheadings. Band, Orchestra, Ensembles, Choir, Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs, Triple Trio, Quartet, and the vocal classes— all were included in this most melodious of all the de¬ partments in P.H.S. Each of these organizations ran in a harmonious, business-like manner under the supervision of their in¬ dividual faculty supervisor and also with the aid of elected student supervisors under the vise of president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer. Mr. Harris directed the MS.C. Band while their di¬ rector was absent, and Mr. Opland, took care of many of the duties performed by Mr. Harris during his ab¬ sence. If you haven’t taken TIME yet to BEAT your friends to look SHARPLY enough at these FLAT caricatures, they are: first SCORE, left to right: Mr. Bourziel, Mr. Harris, and Mr. Opland. THE 1942 QUIVER aircraft was taught. This subject was open to seniors. The proverb, “A stitch in time saves nine,” was put into practical use by those who were en¬ rolled in a sewing class in Pontiac High School. Color combinations were studied, patterns were styled to suit the individual student, economy in buying material was taught, and, above all, the student learned to sew well. Modernization of the sewing room this year included new tables throughout the room and three new electric sewing machines. If you were one of those interested in future home life, you probably learned how to boil water in a cooking class of P.H.S. Besides cooking, you learned how to form a budget, both personal and family, plan a diet, and also how to choose foods when buying them. Another factor considered was the actual serving of meals. New equipment was added throughout the cooking room, and included new cabinets, several new stoves, and new cooking unit tables. The P.H.S. Choir, Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Club, Triple Trio, The Quartet, and the vocal classes— these were all active in the vocal department of this school. Another branch of the music department was the Band and the Orchestra. The band was seen in action more than once at various sports activities, and it received first rating in the State Festival again. The orchestra was tops again this year, as it completed another successful season of music. In Modern History, the important events which occurred in the world from the first of the eight¬ eenth century to the present day were studied. Such events as the French Revolution, various European wars, and the “modern government” in Europe were discussed. You cooking- and sewing prodigies will re¬ cognize these two faculty members as Miss Gaylord and Miss Hunter, respectively. United States History from 1492 to the present day included the exploration of America, coloniza¬ tion, the Revolutionary War, the making of the Constitution, the Civil War and its results, and the formation of a new united government. The World War I, and present day problems together with the many events between, rounded out this course. Civics is another subject required for gradu¬ ation. In this one semester course, the problems of government were studied. Economics consisted of the study of the pro¬ duction, exchange, distribution, and consumption of wealth. International Relations was a study of the ad¬ vantages of a democracy and the world movements and their relation to our United States. American Problems stressed economic and social problems, other than the cute, lil’ brunette who sat in 216. Consumer’s Education acquainted the student with advertising methods and how to distinguish between true and false advertising. Hmmm! Another panel of “mugs.” This distinguished portion of the faculty teach the Social Science classes of Pontiac High School. They are, starting from the top left, Mr. Bevington, who specialized in Economics; Mr. Dearing, teach¬ ing Civics in room 330; Mr. Fors- man, the honored head of the Social Science Department; Mr. Jervis, who teaches U. S. History and spon¬ sors the Quiver on the side; Mrs. Miller, who knows her P’s and Q’s about European History; Miss Thomas, whose specialty is U. S. History; Miss Walker, another U.S. History teacher; Mrs. Whitfield, who, along with U. S. History super¬ vises all of the school dances; Mr. Wright, whose main interest is track, Civics being a side-line; and Mr. Wollock, straying in from the industrial arts building to teach U. S. History, but leaving us in De¬ cember to work for National De¬ fense. Aside from the teachers pictured above, Mr. Fisler and Miss Nelson, supposedly in the English department, teach Civics and A- merican Problems respectively. Mrs. Marsh, whose picture was not avail¬ able, came over from Washington Junior High School to replace Mr. Wollock when he left for Defense work.

PONTIAC HIGH SCHOOL Classes taught on this floor are: Eng¬ lish, foreign languages, band and orches¬ tra, art, biology, social science, typing, shorthand, and radio. Study Hall 216 and the library are located on this floor for study and research purposes, but who ever studied in P.H.S.? ncnromze “Is-are-am-was-were. Ain’t ain’t correct, is Vocational English was taught for those who did not plan on going to college. The significance of this course was that it dealt directly with the vocation for which you were training. Data were collected and articles written dealing with machin¬ ery and tools with which you were planning to work in the future. The writing of letters, acqu¬ iring a taste for good literature, parliamentary procedure, and such things essential after gradua¬ tion were taught. Business English was a practical knowledge of English as applied to business in the more technical terms. It was similar to Vocational English in that it prepares for a business position after gradu¬ ation. Speech courses offered in Pontiac High School were numerous. Preliminary Speech classes taught the fundamentals of speech, namely language, voice, and other minor things. In the more advanced speech courses, what to say when asked to speak at some banquet or other, if ever called upon for such an honor was taught. If you went on in the Speech classes, learning how to argue, no, not in the same old crude method, and also the art of debating were studied. This course gave experience and ability in applying the principles of sound reasoning in the classroom as well as at home. Radio was studied in Speech 5. In this course, the writing and presenting of radio scripts was studied along with the development of radio, as well as actual broadcasting. No, this isn’t a “rogue’s gallery.” Did you ever stop to think, if possible to think in your case, how many teachers of the most foreign of all languages, English, there were in this school of ours? Well, in case you can’t count that far, there are presumptiously sixteen! You have probably come into contact, at least once during your stay in P.H.S., with one of the English teachers including Mr. Antisdel, Miss Day, Miss Derragon, Mr. Fisler, Miss Hunt, Miss Lighterness, Mrs. MacAdams, Miss McDermet, Miss Nelson, Miss Paris, Miss Hubert, Mr. Watson, and Miss Wilson. In the speech department were Miss Hiller, Miss Perry, and Mr. Viola. Miss Nelson and Mr. Watson were both new additions to the teaching staff in the English Department of P.H.S. 16 THE 1942 QUIVER Mr. Allshouse and Miss Lohmann had charge of the art department of Pontiac High School. Miss Loh¬ mann is a new addition to the teach¬ ing staff, and she has proven quite worthy of her position as well as being popular with the student body. Mr. Allshouse left for the armed service of the U. S. in May. Under the supervision of Miss Cole, second from the right, and Mrs. Travis, the library was kept in running order for the year. Many now books, both reprints of old favorites and the latest best sellers, were added this year to keep the P.H.S. library up-to-date. The commercial department offered shorthand, typing, bookkeeping, filing, commercial geography, calculator, and business English. Gregg shorthand was taught using an adapta¬ tion of Leslie’s functional method, which is a reading rather than a writing approach in the learning process. The method was interesting and the maze of curves, straight lines, hooks, and circles were soon voted fascinating puzzle. At the end of shorthand III, an average speed of 100 words per minute should have been attained. There were three semesters of typing. In the first, the keyboard, the correct fingering, and the parts of the typewriter were learned. The passing speed was 20 words per minute. In typing II, how to type business letters, and invoices were studied. Forty words per minute must have been attained before passing into typing III, where billing, cor¬ rection work, and tabulation exercises were prac¬ ticed. The emphasis was on speed and accuracy. The business English course was made up of the writing of effective business letters and business reports. A knowledge of the right attitude and the importance of the appreciating the reade r’s point of view was stressed. Filing—letters, names, and more letters by numerous methods! This commercial course gave practical experience on the subject. After com¬ pleting a filing assignment, “little men may have been bowling in your head’’ nightly, but the knowledge gained made every bit of it easy to bear. Almost everyone is benefited by a course of filing. The housewife can file her receipts of bills for quick reference. In the business world, there is always a demand for a good file clerk. If you were a shark at figures, bookkeeping was your meat. A good bookkeeper is well paid. Comptometer taught adding, subtracting, mul¬ tiplying, and dividing by using a machine. This sounds hard, but it was fun when the “art’’ had finally been accomplished. Have you ever wished that you could draw a reasonable facsimile of Mickey Mouse, famous characters, or other subjects? Why didn’t you enroll in one of two art courses offered in Pontiac High School? Commercial drawing consisted of studying all styles of lettering, color schemes and posters, while the course in free hand drawing consisted of land¬ scaping, ah, Nature!, figure drawing, pencil draw¬ ings, stage settings, and the designing of wearing apparell, both masculine and feminine. If you were in the mood for study, and who wasn’t?, or were curious as to whether or not there are kangaroos in Tasmania, you should have come a’running to the Library, for that was the place for you! There you found information on everything from Tom Mix to Thomas Edison, from the correct way to play tiddlewinks to the right way to raise pigs. In these modern times, the business world is rapidly be¬ coming more important. The demand for able and skilled secretaries, comptometer operators, typists, filing clerks, bookkeepers, is rapidly gaining by leaps and bounds. Students were seen daily in any one of the above mentioned classes with their noses buried in “perfects” and “imperfects,” shorthand notes, usually eligible, letters used in filing classes, or shorthand notebooks searching madly and profusely for “lesson 68 in today’s comptometer assignment.” Seen peering rather erono- mously from between the layers of the commercial books trying to convey the important features of their respective courses were: Mr. Baldwin, Miss B. Carpenter, Miss Hilliard, Mr. Kader, Miss Myer, Mrs. Minkoff, the former Miss Newman, Miss O’Hara, Miss Slater and Mr. Snyder. Mr. Snyder has had charge of all the defense stamp sales in the school this past term.

V If you have ever torn your hair from its roots in desperation over your homework in Latin, Spanish, or French, you may have taken time out to think about the trials and tribulations of the masterminds who taught these brain-twister foreign languages at Pontiac High School. If you indulged in these courses to any extent, you struggled through the many translations under Mr. Gray, Miss Hook, Mr. Kuethe, or Mr. Mercado, pictured at the right. Debonair Mr. Gray keeps up-to-date on his Spanish and senioritas by spending each summer in Latin-Ameri- ca. Th ese “maestros” co-operated with the history de¬ partment to plan a special course in Latin-American relations for next year. Have you ever wondered just what those tant¬ alizing words accompanying Xavier Cugat’s ex¬ otic rhythms really meant? Have you ever had a sort of self-conscious desire to know a little more —even a lot more—about those French novels you’ve heard about? Have you ever been annoyed and puzzled as students mutter, “Amo, amas, amat, amamus, amatis, amant?” Is it “Qu’iereme Mucho’’ that has you crim¬ son with curiosity. Dash madly up to 302 or 304 and learn about the Spanish course. You found that the main object of this Spanish course was to give a working knowledge of reading, writing, pronunciation, and speaking of Spanish. Spanish is now considered by many to be the most import¬ ant of the foreign languages, in view of the present “Good Neighbor” policy of the United States. Maybe it’s Yvette who has you fascinated. From enrollment in a French class, you might have discovered that the reading and hearing of the language were stressed. A very good reason for this fact is the influence which this language has had upon foods, styles, luxuries, and etiquette. Then, of course, there’s the Latin. By the time you’ve finished with the mazes of Caesar and other translations, you’re bound to know that “Amo, amas. amat, etc.’’ means only “I love, you love, he loves, etc.” Construction of Latin sen¬ tences was studied, and, above all, more than one hour was spent tearing your hair studying the grammar connected with this course. (How well we know!) Courses offered in the mathematics department were geometry, algebra, and trigonometry. The Geometry I consisted of the study of triangles, including congruence, parallels, and perpendicular lines, the usage of the compass and protractor in the making of several fundamental constructions, polygons, and the area of several of them with their formulas. Circles, arcs, and angles; the measurements of angles and arcs; lace; proportion and proportion¬ al line segments; similar polygons; regular poly¬ gons and the circle; a small amount of elementary “trig,” and inequalities. All these were studied in Geometry II. The relationship between lines and planes, surfaces and sections of surfaces, areas, volumes, were discussed in geometry III. The prism, pyra¬ mid, cylinder, cone, and sphere were the five solids These four teachers, Miss Allchin, Miss M. Carpenter, Miss Steward, and Miss VanArsdale, are the “mistres¬ ses of math” in Pontiac High School. Two vacancies, left by Mr. Dudley and Mr. Morris, were filled by Miss Carpenter and Miss Van¬ Arsdale, who filled the ranks of the teachers of angles, squares, circles, and the such, after having taught commercial subjects previously. It was under their supervision that the many intriguing math displays were made and exhibited in the first floor show cases. 20 THE 1942 QUIVER t 1 ; i The Science Department—very few students haven’t indulged in, gulped, and swallowed at least a small portion of biology, chemistry, or physics before graduation from Pontiac High School. The faculty members who helped you to break test tubes, pick up liquid mercury, and peer through microscopes are, left to right: Mr. Brown, Mrs. Buckley, Miss King, Mr. Line, Mr. Spotts, Mr. Sweet, and Mr. Weirzma. studied in the course. Algebra III was made up of a review of Algebra I and II with new material introduced, followed by square root, exponents, radicals, graphs, quadratic equations in two variables, and a short study of logariths. Algebra IV included a further study of logarithms, ratio, propor¬ tion and variations, permutations and combinations, probability, statistics, and the scale of notation. Trigonometry taught the rela¬ tions between the sides and angles of a triangle and their calculations. In the solution of problems, the placing of the ability to use loga¬ rithms and the tables of natural and logarithmic functions of angles was stressed. Algebra III was re¬ quired for this course. Sulfuric acid, vertibrae, expan¬ sion of bridge construction, are they unfamiliar? If so, you didn’t scratch the surface of the science courses offered in Pontiac High School, mainly chemistry, biology, and physics. Biology would have given you an opportunity to further your knowledge of caring for animals, the importance of hygiene and well-planned diet, the cause and prevention of minor illnesses, and the work of those “wierd little things,” amoeba, bacteria, etc. This science made you observe objects of im¬ portance, besides the blonde next door, and en¬ abled you to put observations into practical use¬ fulness. As formaldehyde and other chemicals were mentioned in biology, you probably felt that you’d like to take some chemistry! ‘‘Pass the salt, no, that’s the iodine. Aw, that’s the sulfuric acid!” Besides these amazing bits of “info,” mech¬ anics, heat, sound, electrictiy, and magnetism were guzzled by the “studs.” The operation and func¬ tion of simple household appliances, furnaces, light bulbs, and the vacuum sweeper were explained, or were you “dozing” at the time of explanation? Wouldn’t “Ma” be surprised if you fixed this or that around the house for her? Physics taught the “how, where, and the what” of questions that are continually arising. After this brief resume, we hope that you have a better knowledge of the subjects offered in Pon¬ tiac Senior High School that will benefit you as a student, and aid you in making a place for your¬ self in this world of turmoil. No, you aren’t a guest at a dinner, or a hospital. These mystifying terms were a common lingo if you were enrolled in a chemistry class. Besides having learned the art of burning your fingers and how to spill acid on your clothes, time was spent learning how to solve for unknowns, the action of alcohol when put into the radiator of the family bus, to make blueprints, the making of gases, and a new product recently put on the merchants’ shelves, soap! The study of physics was almost as mystifying as the name implies. If you ever wondered whether it would be worth your while to crawl in your piano “to see how it works,” or drop your “vie” on the floor to “see if sound waves really bounce,” the time and consequences of such undertakings could have been saved by enrolling in a physics class. The sudden death of Mr. James H. Harris in February of this year, was deeply felt by students, of Pontiac schools, friends, and rela¬ tives alike. Mr. Harris was one of the best liked persons in the entire school system, and he was respected and admired by all. Although he had retired from the school system and his long held position as Superintendent of Schools, it was not uncommon to see his figure around the halls of learning occasionally. His death left a mark on everyone who knew him personally as “Jim”, or just as “Mr. Harris”; and this will be hard to erase.

H. S. in 1939. These socially minded students thronged to the 10-A Mixer where they were first brought together as a class. Time slipped by and soon the J-Hop rolled around. Edith Rayner charmingly presided as general chair¬ man of this gala affair. Then lo and behold the class of “42’ ' became fullfledged seniors in 1941. Soon preparations were being made for the crowning event in their social calendar, the long-awaited senior prom. Marilyn Beers was chosen general chairman. or memories Then came the fateful day in January “42” when each serious-faced, thoughtful senior gravely received his coveted sheepskin. The class departed from the common practice of inviting an outside speaker for their program at the commencement exercises. Instead, several members of the class spoke on the general topic—“What Makes A Strong America?” The young intellectuals who participated in this were Robert Snyder, Audrey Koontz, R. B. Radunz, and Ann Jossman. Special Honors were given to Elaine Cadetis, Wenona Dewey, Elaine Fuller, Helen Harper, Lillian Im- peri. Marilyn Morrison, Edith Rayner, Robert Snyder, and Beth Tucker.

On the stairs are Robert Lyle, Edmund Sly and Robert Gaukler. 216 is filled with studious seniors during homeroom. Wonder if they really work like that all the time or if they just want to make a good impression. ackleuemenl hHHS It seems an interminable time since that day, really only three years ago, that we tottered trem¬ bling through the portals of Pontiac High School. Appalled as only 10-B’s can be by the magnitude of this august edifice, we traced, albeit in a some¬ what vague manner, the schedules which had been contrived for us. The rollicking events that oc¬ curred during those years will never be forgotten; and the aid and guidance extended to us by the faculty will long be appreciated. Our senior year appeared aeons away. Now that it has come and is over, we look back in stupefication at the rapidi¬ ty with which those aeons elapsed. It seems hardly possible that many of the friendships which we formed may soon be ended. Our classmates will go, each in his own way, out into the world.

These organizations have been very active in the social and business life of the school. There was the ever popular Harmony Hop sponsored by the vocal department; the annual Hi-Y and Girl Reserves party which was held at Orchard Lake Country Club this year; the bowling parties of the Quiver and Tomahawk and Junior Girls’ Glee Club: and the many parties held by all of the organizations. ocu3e Pontiac High was also war conscious. A de¬ fense council was organized by the second semester Student Council to take care of all of the problems facing our school because of the war. Edmund Sly was chosen as general chairman. Claire Macaulay and Miss Day headed the publicity committee. They carried out the advertising for the other com¬ mittees through the public address system, posters, and the Tomahawk. The conservation committee, headed by James Lazaroff and Mr. Jervis, placed containers in the hall to collect newspapers to sell in order to buy first aid kits and stretchers for the school. With the help of the Chem-Physics Club this committee also tested garden soil and gave 50 THE 1942 QUIVER or un Knitting squares for afgans for the Red Cross was one of the good deeds performed by the Girl Reserves this year.

The morale committee which was headed by John Condylis and Mr. Watson organized an assembly in which was shown a film on incendiary bombs; and Mr. Sweet gave an experiment on how mag¬ nesium burns. They also organized a speech con¬ test on Citizenship Day. Philip Pratt and Mr. Snyder headed the stamp and bond committee. This committee was organized to promote the sale of stamps and bonds to the students. The registra¬ tion committee was in charge of Grace Lechner and Mr. Baldwin. This committee registered all stud¬ ents in case of air raids. Robert Papenguth and PONTIAC HIGH SCHOOL Mr. Hartman had charge of the defense training committee but because of the lack of proper in¬ structors not much could be done. However, plans were made for next year. To top everything off, in the spring the Quiver and Tomahawk decided to bury the hatchet long enough to give a semi-formal dance, the Publica¬ tions Prom. Marvin Geasler and Claire Macaulay, editors of the Quiver and Tomahawk respectively, co-chairmaned the event, and half of the ticket money was turned over to the Sarah McCarroll Fund. -- 51 • Debate Squad — This year the Debate Squad was directed by Mrs. Perry and Mr. Watson. The proposition was, “Resolved: That all able-bodied male citizens of the United States be required to have one full year of military training before at¬ taining the present draft age.” The Varsity Squad, composed alternately of John Condylis, Allan Warshawer, Robert C. Smith, Jack Steinhelper, and Leo Dinnan, won the Detroit Free Press Plaque and the University of Michigan High School Debating League Plaque.

The Future Teachers Club, with Mrs. Miller as guide, helps the would be teacher understand the advantages, disadvantages, and problems of being a teacher. Very often the club has a speaker who gives them “helpful hints.’’ The officers for the year were: president, Patricia Candea; vice-presi¬ dent, Betty Lee Maybee; secretary, Margaret Goodman. The Future Teachers Club includes, left to right—Seated: Betty Maybee, Margaret Goodman, Gertrude Goodman, Betty Daisy. Standing: Mrs. Miller, Patricia Candea, Dorothy Godoshian. • Bookstore—Lose your pencil again? You had better trot down to the bookstore where they carry everything from linoleum cutters to scotch tape. If a book is lost it will probably end up in the bookstore’s lost and found department with all of the other lone and lorn textbooks that no one seems to want. The girls spend one hour a day in the bookstore besides staying in there after school and during homeroom. The members of the bookstore are, left to right—Seated: Helen Hancock, Jo Ann Porritt, Gertrude Goodman, Doris Dearing, Claire Macau¬ lay. Standing: Margery Da we, Patricia Candea, Eileen Fay, Alice Lahiff, Betty Fleming, Margaret Bexell. © Epistolae Scholae—Although only one issue of the Epistolae Scholae, the foreign language paper of P.H.S., was issued this year, the staff was active in many other fields. Among other things, the staff sent Christmas boxes to the alumnae of the staff in service, and knitted afgans for the Red Cross. They also collected paper and magazines which they sold to buy the yarn. Patricia Candea and Bob Lyle were co-editors of the paper for the year. The Epistolae Scholae Staff includes, left to right—Seated: Claire Macaulay, Miss Hook, Mary Kevorkian. Carolyn Brown, Patricia Candea.

It’s only the girls in the Library Guild drilling holes in magazines. This process comes to them in the binding of magazines for the students. Among other things done by these girls are the stamping of magazines and books, pasting magazines for use, filling in the card catalogue, working at the front desk, and spending an hour a day in the library. All this means time, effort, and sometimes a struggle to accomplish a perfect piece of workmanship. But even this would not come so quickly if it were not for the effort put forth by the librarian, Miss Cole, and her assistant, Mrs. Travis. The members of the Library Guild are, left to right—Seated: Alice Isaminger, Patricia Sanders, Miss Cole, Betty Watson.

Although usually buried deep in the heart of copy, proofs, printer’s ink, and papers, the staff dug itself out on several occasions to relax and make merry. At Christmas the staff celebrated by having a hilarious party in the Tomahawk office, which incidentally was moved from the industrial building to room 126 this year. Those attending the Michigan Interscholastic Press Conference at the University of Michigan on May 1 and 2 were: Nanette Hill, Claire Mac¬ aulay, Jacquelyn Britten, Virginia Will, Nancy Hubbard, Ina Gaylord, Gerald Grubb, Eileen Fay, James Dickerson and Marguerite Bryant.

The Tomahawk owes much of its success to the printers who are headed by Mr. Smith, pictured at the right below. 54 THE 1942 QUIVER ’ONTIAC HIGH SCHOOL 55 © Quiver—The members of the Quiver Staff have probably felt the affect of the war more than most of the “studes” of P.H.S. Many are the times that the staff almost had heart failure because of a new government order that suddenly and un¬ mercifully cut their supply of cellophane, rubber cement, or the such. But in spite of these difficulties all of the needed materials were obtained and the staff went on to glory with the first complete yearbook in P.H.S., and as far as could be ascer¬ tained in the United States. This was accomplished by publishing a small supplement, in addition to the main book, the last week of school. It was on May 1 and 2 that ten members from the staff went to Ann Arbor for the annual press conference. Those who attended the confer¬ ence were Donna Danielson, Peggy Fisher, Alison Hallman, Patricia Sanders, Marvin Geasler, Alice Isaminger, Corrine Duggan, Helen Murphy, and Dick Oswald.

PONTIAC HIGH SCHOOL 69 ■ ■ WMMmm rnmmmmmmrnM underclass men notes Activities inside and outside of school — taking in the new shows at the Oakland—help¬ ing to make the Xmas Parade a success by pushing the animals along—being branded at the Y” for the Saturday night swim and swing—going all out for defense by buying war stamps weekly—dancing at the October 10A Mixer—having a super time at the Feb¬ ruary Mixer—advertising for the November J-Hop. Fads—saddle shoes still going strong —long, loud, oversized plaid shirts, worn out¬ side, introduced this year. (Identifications on next page) Everyone loves a party—that is, everyone at P. H. S. does. This is proved by the gay and ex¬ citing times which were had by our underclassmen at the Mixers and J-Hops. On October 31, the Girl Reserve and Hi-Y clubs took the Sophomore A’s out into the country amid cornstalks and pumpkins for their Mixer. There were figurines with pumpkin heads and bodys stuffed with straw, while spiders climbed their webs, upon the walls. Dorothy Meade and Don Vantine acted as co-chairmen of this event. The Junior A’s chose a military motif for their J-Hop on November 14. Cardboard soldiers and sailors outlined the wall, and overhead swung a huge zeppelin filled with gaily colored balloons which bombarded the dance floor. Helen Hatfield was general chairman of this affair. Bessie Antos had charge of decorations, and Lois Pennington was head of the reception com¬ mittee. Advertising the dance was the job of Anne Partney, chairman of the publicity committee, while Nanette Hill selected the patrons. Nancy Hubbard was chairman of the ticket committee and the programs were selected by Eleanor Summers. Taking care of the important clean-up task was Helen Hatfield and her committee. The orchestra was selected by Veronica Ponkey. The Senior B’s celebrated the coming of the holiday season with the Yuletide Hop held De¬ cember 19 at the Y. M. C. A. The Christmas spirit prevailed through the use of mistletoe, Xmas trees, and holly as decorations. Phyllis Knudsen and Edmund Sly acted as co- chairmen for this event, with Audrey Sauter in charge of decorations, Barbara Johnson heading the ticket committee, Frances Day handling the publicity, and Jeanette Noirot selecting the patrons. On February 12, the 10 A Mixer was held for the new 10 A’s with Doris Berry and Bob Papen- guth as co-chairmen. As the dance was held on Lincoln’s birthday, a patriotic theme was used, with American flags bedecking the girls’ gym at every angle. Peter Rabbit hopped in from the country to preside over the “Bunny Run , the assumed name of the March J-Hop. He was very much in evi¬ dence around the outside of the gym as pictures of him on his first date outlined the walls while Spring flowers bloomed overhead from the balcony of the girls’ gym. The second semester Junior A’s chose versatile Van Peters to act as their J-Hop Chairman. Supervising the decorations was Joe Mansfield, and Norma Haskins was in charge of the distribution of tickets. The reception committee was headed by Marjorie Meade, while the orchestra was selected by Bob Hackett, chairman of that committee. Publicity was handled by chairman George Phillips and Alice Angleton selected the patrons. Programs were chosen by Mary Jane Elliot, and Eileen Fay was in charge of refreshments. Supervising the clean-up was William Derragon. On the preceding page we respectfully present Pontiac’s fads, students, and favorite pastimes. In the first row, left to right, we have the number one fad—saddle shoes—ten pairs. Going to movies seems to be a favorite pastime with Phyllis Ann Erb and Robert Anglemier. This little piggie likes his horn. Such things as this amused the kiddies who watched the Christmas parade in which the P.H.S. boys helped to push the animals along. Dorothy Miller and Julie Hallett show off the latest fad—long, plaid, flannel shirts. Second row, left to right: Nanette Hill stamps Veronica Ponkey and Harold St. John as they enter the “Y”; it seems that Saturday night dancing is what they enjoy most. Dorothy Taylor adds an¬ other war stamp to her victory savings book. Robert Radunz, (as usual)can be seen guarding his “mike at the October 10-A Mixer while Wayne Strand, Muriel Nicyper and Leon Ball enjoy them¬ selves. Third row, left to right: At the February 10-A Mixer are Bruce Turner, Marjorie Seeley, Tommy Moffat, Hazel Tibbals, B 11 Brace, Lenore Hewitt, and Don Hassinger. James Bowers, Pat Candea, and Anne Partney do their part in helping with the November J-Hop by putting up posters. Seen by one of the rabbits that decorated the girls’ gym for the J-Hop are, left to right: Pat Moses, Leonard Day, Pat Eddy, Joe Mansfield, Muriel Nicyper, James Hockis, Betty Fleming, and Kenny Mills. Everyone attending the Bunny Run appeared to enjoy the music which was supplied by Herbie Hosner and his orchestra.

Most of the planning, work, worry, glory, and the inevitable criticism falls on their shoulders. Their job is to produce a winning team which sometimes isn’t so easy, for they must work and make the best of what they have. They are, left to right: Coaches Allison, Ashley, Hartman, Smead, and Wright. Did the football team continue their winning streak this year? Certainly. Did the basketball team finally hit their stride? Of course. The swim¬ ming team gathered enough points to keep their opponents worried, but they failed to take those marginal points to win their meets. As has been the case every year for the last few years. Coach Smead produced a strong and victorious football squad. Since 1939 when Coach Smead first started giving the orders, he has been able to get more of an idea of what to expect for the next year. With this added information, the team should improve from year to year. One of the biggest social events for the football squad this year was the football banquet. Harlan Frau- man honored the squad by appearing as a guest speaker at the banquet. Frauman was an end on the University of Michigan’s varsity squad this year. Entertainment in the form of moving pic¬ tures of college football games in whic h the boys got an idea of how it was really done, were shown. Awarding of letters, medals, and special honors took place at the banquet. Individual playing awards were presented to the following players for the listed games: Loy Ledford (Owosso), Kenny Sands and Norman Craven (Flint North¬ ern), “Ozzie” Teachworth (Royal Oak), Chuck Prasil (Flint Central), A1 Conners (Arthur Hill), Russ Rigdon (Saginaw Eastern), Bob Hackett (Bay City), and Euell Smith (Port Huron). The award for the most outstanding player of the en¬ tire season went to Chuck Prasil. A1 Conners and Chuck Prasil were elected by the coaches from all participating schools on the all Saginaw Valley League Team. Out of a possible 36 votes each player could receive, they each received 25. Euell Smith and Loy Ledford were placed on the second team while Norm Craven, Kenny Sands, and “Oz¬ zie” Teachworth were given honorable mention awards. The members of the squad, to show their gratitude, pooled their money and presented Coach¬ es Smead and Ashley with jackets. 88 THE 1942 QUIVER Coach Hartman’s reserves enjoyed an especially successful season. The boys’ co¬ operative ability to play together proved unfaltering and Coach Hartman said for this reason all of the boys were outstand¬ ing. The numerous prospects who turned out for basketball this year, found a new coach, namely, Waldo Ashley. Mr. Ash¬ ley is the former coach of Roosevelt High School of Keego Harbor where he enjoyed many successful years of coaching. Coach Ashley had an excellent chance to train his teams at Roosevelt because the boys are brought up under his system from an early grade. Learning a new system was probably the main reason for the slow start that the squad got off to this year. After winning from Ferndale in the open¬ ing tilt, the Chiefs dropped the next 5 games all against valley league teams. How¬ ever these losses weren ' t too serious, for the scores were extremely close. The squad soon found their “shooting eye’’ and ended the season in much better style. The boys found Mr. Ashley to be a nice person and they worked with him very well. The boys chose Chuck Ball, the Chief’s lanky guard, as their captain. Dan Turner, colored flash, led them all in points compiling a season total of 132 followed by Chuck Ball with 117. The little Chiefs, coached by Mr. Smead, came out on top with a percentage of 57.1. They were paced by Grant Britton who scored 53 out of the total of 340 points that were scored against their opponents. The little Chiefs scored victories over the reserves of Ferndale, Flint Northen, Flint Central, Owosso, Bay City, Saginaw Eastern, and Birmingham. The swimming team, however, didn’t fare so well as it usually does. The Chiefs dearly missed the presence of Merton Church who could always These are the boys who, with their cheers and enthusiasm, had quite a bit to do with the success of the sports department this year. They are: left to right, Harland Beck, Douglas Utter, Bob Moen, John Benson, and Bob Markey. be counted on to add up the points. The depart¬ ment that was found most lacking was that of crawlmen. Although there wasn’t an absence of boys out for this event, none of them were ad¬ vanced enough to be counted on too strongly. However the departments of backstroke, breast¬ stroke, and diving weren’t lacking as Bob Papen- guth. Jack McGrath, and Frank Compagnoni res¬ pectively took care of these positions. This year because Mr. Hartman found a little extra time, he supervised a junior swimming meet. Anybody in any of the junior high schools was eligible for this meet. This was held to promote swimming and get younger boys more interested. Although most of us know (and for some of us only too well) what goes on in a gym class, most parents, however, don’t. For this reason demonstrations, sponsored by Mr. Smead and Miss Waterman, of typical gym classes were presented on April 16 for the benefit of parents who were interested.

PONTIAC HIGH SCHOOL 89 � ' ‘ ... xvx. • ' ' ' L. y Pf A ers Almost, but not quite just about sums up Pontiac’s race for the Saginaw Valley League Championship for 1941. Losing the championship by a small margin was, for a while, discouraging. However, looking forward to another year gives a new hope. With a fine bunch of prospects in¬ cluding 16 returning lettermen, the team started off with a lot of confidence and high hopes. With a new assistant coach, Waldo Ashley, replacing Coach Norris, everything was expected to run along smoothly. After several weeks of steady re¬ hearsal, and determined to reverse the score of last year, the Pontiac eleven took the field against Royal Oak in the opening tilt. But the Chiefs were caught napping more than once and they saw Upper left: “See, this is how it’s done.” Coach Ashley shows Bob Gibson and the rest of the gridders just how he wants it done.

Bottom: Kenny Sands, if you can identify him at the bottom of the pile, is “flattened” by a host of Northern tacklers. In this game, played under the lamps at Flint, Pontiac won their first victory over the Northern Vikings in many years. Elmer Moliskey Mitchell Rampart Lawrence Selden James Nesbitt Norman Craver THE 1942 QUIVER the Acorns cross their goal to the count of 13-0. In a game played under the lamps at Owosso, Loy Ledford, one of the fastest backs in the league, paced to a decided victory of 14-0 on two long runs. Probably the most exciting game of the entire season was the tilt with Pontiac’s old rival, Flint Northern. Up to the time the Chiefs were scheduled to play the Northernites, Pontiac hadn’t lost a league game and they were determined not to do so then. They disappointed no one, for they didn’t. Pontiac felt the sting of a Northern touchdown early in the game and it remained Northern ' s game through the entire half. But the second half proved to be a different story, for touchdowns by Euell Smith and Loy Ledford and extra points by Bill Franklenfield’s educated toe won the game to the happy tune of 14-6. The title bound Chiefs were then only two games away from their goal. Only Flint Central and Saginaw Eastern stood in their way. With an overwhelming defeat of 25-6 the Chiefs handed Central last season, and the battle for a scoreless tie with Eastern, Pontiac anticipated better things than resulted. Perhaps a little bit over-confident or maybe just a little bit nervous with such a large stake at hand, Central romped over the disappointed Chiefs by the close margin of 6-0. When the smoke had cleared away, Pontiac again tasted the bitter dust of defeat for the second and last time against a strong Saginaw Eastern team by the tune of 20-6. When Chuck Prasil and A1 Conners, the Chief’s outstanding lines¬ men, were chosen on the all-Valley League Team, no one was surprised. To be selected on this team, you have to be good, and that’s just what they are. Pontiac’s first reserve squad proved its ableness this season by de¬ feating each of the seven teams that it opposed. The second reserve squad did not do so well, however, losing three games out of three games played. Cranbrook and Flint Central offered the strongest opposition to the first reserve squad, but the boys’ co-operative ability to play together proved unfaltering. Many of these boys shall prove essential to next year’s first team.

THE 1942 QUIVER 3mmmers falter ates; Judson St. John and Don Smith, two up and coming divers; Jack McGrath, a trim breast- stroker. Coach Hartman assures us that with these experienced men and the wealth of new prospects offered 1943 and 1944 will be prosperous years for the Pontiac High School. Although all of the boys that came out for the team this year did not receive their letters, they are the type of workers all swimming teams need and are proud to possess. Such men as Ed. Taylor, Morrie Wyman, Robert Koskela, Howard Fisher, Don Smith, Don Williams, Paul Potter, and Don Hammond are the type that form the back bone of a team. The proof of the saying “three times and out’’ is given in the disheartening relapse of the Pontiac High School swimming team after having three victorious years. Due to the fact that the team was composed of all comparatively new stock, the boys came through with but two wins which by the way were both from our friends at Mt. Clemens. Losing nine of the eleven dual meets, the boys still showed excellent sportsmanship when faced with great opposition. The type of sportsmanship which makes winners out of losers. As fate would have it the swimming team qualified boys in only five events in the Regionals at Fordson High School. The events in which the boys placed were the 50 yard crawl, 100 yard breast-stroke, diving, 150 yard medley relay, and the 200 yard speed relay. Again in the State meet ill luck played a prom¬ inent role, and the boys that placed in the Region¬ als failed to place at Ann Arbor. Despite the record of the team, Coach Hartman did wonderfully well with what material he had to work, but now is looking hopefully towards a more suc¬ cessful season next year. The coach is anxious to train first year men, and the Junior High Schools are sending up some hard workers who should con¬ stitute smashing teams for the future. The boys to watch next year are Gordon Irwin, who, Coach Hartman believes, is going to set some records before he gradu- Top left: A typical view of the 100 yard crawl man churning up the water in a dual meet.

Dan Turner ca Charles Ball Velus Benson Ralph Hewitt What wins a basketball game? Of course everyone knows that, but just knowing it doesn’t seem to be all there is to it. This is readily shown by the slow start that the Chief bucketmen got off to, this year. Foul line shots as well as many inaccurate shots from the floor cost the Chiefs defeats by very close margins. For example only 3 out of 18 free throws were sunk in the Flint Northern tilt which was lost by 4 points. After several defeats of this nature, Pontiac became a “determined” squad and decided that the time had come to turn the tide. After winning from Ferndale by a score 24-10 in the opening tilt, who would have guessed that Pontiac would lose the next 5 games, but that’s just what happened.

THE 1942 QUIVER Kenneth Mills ern, Flint Central, Saginaw Eastern, and Saginaw Arthur Hill all fat¬ tened their winning averages at the Chief’s expense. Many local fans went home disappointed after the Arthur Hill tilt and who woudn’t. When half time arrived, the Chiefs had piled up a 19-9 lead over the Lumberjacks. However the ’Jacks weren’t to go home without a victory and a scoring spree was promptly started in the second half which was strong enough to knot the score at 28 in the last quarter. Five seconds before the final gun sounded, the ’Jacks hit the twines to win 30-28. At this time Pontiac became the “determined” squad. The “determined” squad broke their 5 game losing streak by a 31-21 victory over Owosso. To further prove the new ability of the Chiefs they promptly set the favored Flint Northern quintet back by 23-21. Bay City also fell victims to the new strategy in a breath taking game which ended at 28-27. At the conclusion of the regular season, Pontiac set out to cop their seventh consecutive regional title. Winding up the season much better than they started out, the Chiefs were fairly confident. In the first game, Pontiac set back a strong Grosse Pointe squad by the impressive score of 30-23. Much credit was given Herb Rowe, the Chief’s con¬ sistent center, for the 14 points that he contributed and also for all- around good playing. The Chiefs then faced a favored Port Huron quintet. In a breath taking tilt in which the lead changed many times, Pontiac finally came out victorious by a close margin of 29-27. This victory put the Chiefs in the finals matched against Royal Oak. This was a hit and miss affair as it remained anybody ' s game up until the last quarter. With only 20 seconds to go in the last quarter and the score tied, an Oak player swished the nets just before the gun sounded to win by 2 points. Six wins against eight losses doesn’t exactly represent a typical season for the Chief bucketmen, but second place in the regionals isn’t so bad. As far as percentages goes, the little Chieftains did considerably better than the first team with 8 wins and 6 losses. They scored a total of 340 points against their opponents and their victories were over the reserves of Ferndale, Flint Northern, Flint Central, Owosso, Bay City, Saginaw Eastern, and Birmingham.

With each new season bringing up a new activity in the line of girls’ sports, the girls’ swimming classes started right off with their semester’s work. The beginning classes learned to swim, the intermediate classes accomplished new strokes and start¬ ed work on diving, while the advanced classes worked very diligently on their swimming meet which took place January 14, 1942. The girls were divided into two teams, the Dolphins and the Sharks, and competed in backstroke, crawl, and breast stroke races. The meet ended with a diving competition. In the second semester there was a life saving class in which the girls worked very hard to obtain junior and senior life saving honors. There was also an after school class in synchronized swimming where the girls learned to make formations in time to music. The girls gym classes started their semester with squad work. The girls di¬ vided into groups rotating with such track events as high jump, baseball target, rope jumping, and horse shoe pitching. Squad work was followed by a season of bowling. The girls bowling game is done on a miniature scale. The essential thing being to learn how to handle a bowl¬ ing ball, how to approach, and how to keep score. This activity is very useful to girls in their social life . Winter brought basketball into the sports schedule. A number of teams in each class, played in after school games. Along with each season of activities, there was one day a week of dancing. In the dancing classes the girls, depending up¬ on the grade they were in, learned English and American folk dancing. There were also classes in modern tap and ballroom dancing. To successfully bring the second semes¬ ter to a climax the girls gym classes gave a patriotic demonstration for the teachers and parents. In addition to patriotic dances were folk dances from our allied countries, and humorous dances which everyone en¬ joyed. 96 THE 1942 QUIVER ' ' ■ ■ ■ . . ; V Above at the right Betty Watson and Robert Gaukler seem to be enjoying themselves by the fountain at the Senior Prom.

This year, after dashing madly between the rain drops to get to the entrance, the seniors found the boys’ gym transformed into a French garden for their prom. Spaced around the gym were pillars covered with colored parch¬ ment paper and lighted from the inside. At one end of the “garden” was a fountain that really worked with colored lights playing on the water giving a very beautiful effect. Colored lights were played on the band stand also, which was draped in the best decorator fashion. Fred Poole acted as general chairman with the following chairmen assisting him: Herb¬ ert Rowe, decorations; Kenneth Sands, tick¬ ets: Donald Hogue, orchestra; Dorothy Meade, reception; Jean Moyses, patrons; Lula Wilkins, refreshments; Nancy Baker, programs; Geraldine Gumse, publicity; and John Hubbard, clean-up. During March the Tomahawk aroused the student body by hinting at a “Big Sur¬ prise” scheduled for April 17. As the end of the month was nearing, the staff decided to put an end to suspense and give out witp the low down. The “Big Surprise,” as you Above, Claire Macaulay and Lawrence Hettinger take out time at the Publications Prom to have a little chat with Mr. Thors. Claire and Marvin Geasler were general chairmen of the prom. might have guessed, was the Publications Prom, a semi-formal dance co-sponsored by the staffs of the Quiver and Tomahawk. With Central Park as the theme, the girls’ gym was transformed into a park with a huge moon at one end of the band stand, park benches in the corners, and stars in the sky. Marvin Geasler and Claire Macaulay were general chairmen of the event with the follow¬ ing committee chairmen assisting them; Doro¬ thy Dearing and Alice Isaminger, decorations; Nancy Hubbard and Alison Hallman, pro¬ grams; Corrine Duggan and Marie Morton, orchestra; Barbara Roehm and Edwina Ben¬ nett, refreshments; Jacquelyn Britten and Gladys Ainslie, publicity; Betty Jane Ware and Peggy Fisher, tickets; Robert Papenguth and Nanette Hill, contact; Gertrude Goodman and Helen Murphy, patrons; Wendell Trudgen and Don Vantine, reception; and Don¬ ald Hissinger and Jack Andress, clean¬ up. More than fifty dollars was raised by the Prom, and donated to the Sarah McCarroll fund. The Editor of the Tomahawk for next year is to be Nanette Hill, and the co-editors of the 1943 Quiver are Gladys Ainslie and Edna Kahler. Among those receiving special honors late in the school year was Vivian Scott, who received the fifty dollar first place Jubal award, given to an outstanding Negro pianist or violinist. The auditions were held in Detroit. Wednesday, June 3, the radio de¬ partment of Pontiac Senior High School took over the Pontiac radio station, WCAR. The students of the radio de¬ partment took over the work usually done by the regular staff of WCAR. They made all announcements for ad¬ vertisements, news casts, and incidental programs except for the beer commercials and several news casts that the sponsor objected to having made by students. The department also planned many programs that were given throughout the day by the students of the school. Starting at 9:15 A. M., the radio de¬ partment began their day of broadcast¬ ing with a program of original poems read by the students. 9:23-9:45 there was a program by the Pontiac High School Band which gave a fine exhibition of their ability. At 1 1:30-1 1:45 a patriotic drama, “Story of Our Flag,” was presented. From 12:45 to 1:00 P. M. Vivian Scott gave a scintillating variety program of her best piano techniques. At 4:30, a moral drama written by Dorothy Dearing entitled “I Am Ready,” was presented by the members of the radio department. At 5:45 a sports cast of school sports was presented. From 6:05-6:15 P.M. the students presented to their listening audi¬ ence an original play by Audrey Cromis, “Fights Out.” The Student Defense Council (Continued to page 8) Corrections-.

This year, as last, the student body of P. H. S. took over the city for one day of the school year. On May 12, the students went to their respective offices where they remained all day learning of the various functions per¬ formed by the many city offices of Pontiac. They were also entertained at a luncheon given in their honor at the City Hospital. Marion Fick, Leslie Miller, Erwin Nick- ols, Joseph Mansfield, James Hockis, Euell Smith, and Herbert Rowe were elected to the city commission on April 22. Philip Pratt, municipal judge, Nancy Baker, associate municipal judge, and Edmund Sly, constable, were elected by the student body also. Herbert Rowe was chosen mayor by the student city commission. Don Vantine was appointed city manager by the commissioners and the officials serving under him were Robert Papenguth, finance director; George Phillips, city attorney; and Joseph Ferguson, city clerk. Don appointed the following officials: Robert Blazor, recreational director; Mary 4 THE 1942 QUIVER Pictured at the left, left to right, Row 1: John Condylis, winner of one of the University of Michigan Alumni Association Scholarships awarded to Pontiac Senior High; Margery Dawe, who received a scholarship to Western State Teachers College at Kalamazoo; and Dorothy Dearing, who was award¬ ed the scholarship of $100 which is given annually to some worthy senior girl by the Girl Reserves.

THE 1942 QUIVER For the first time in 1 8 years, the Pontiac High Chieftans gained undisputed possession of the Saginaw Valley League baseball championship after a sparkling ’42 season. Coach Waldo Ashley, a newcomer this year to the coaching staff, piloted the Chiefs to 10 victories in 14 games, four of the victories being over tough Valley League competition. Practically an entire veteran squad re¬ turned this year, but sophomores as well as other newcomers found their places. Among the players contributing to the Pontiac title, these were outstanding: Gene Daniels, a junior, who led the team in batting with a 381 average; Warren Byers, sophomore pitcher, who won three of the four valley games won by the Chiefs; Bob Blazer, an¬ other sophomore pitcher; and Nick Loulakis, who broke his leg midway in the season, but before his injury batted 370. Five players who batted over the much desired 300 mark were: Gene Daniels, Bob Thomas, Jay Clark, Bill Haynes, and Nick Loulakis. The season this year was the best since 1924. In 1940 the P. H. S. boys tied for the championship, but for 18 years they had never won it for themselves, alone. Bill Haynes, diminutive shortstop, was elected captain. The track squad also met a new coach this year, namely James Wright, who is a track¬ man himself. Veterans who return¬ ed this year included Joe Showers, Merle Barger, Kenny Sands, and Paul Jones. Joe Showers and Jim Gibson were the most consistent point - getters throughout the season. Showers crossed the bar at over 12 feet during the season and Gibson placed first in the quar- (Continued to page 8) t Upper left—Golf team, left to right, Row 1: Walt Latozas, Don Vantine, and Bob Greve.

The 1942 golf squad certainly had a record to live up to, for last season Coach Allison produced a state champion team. Don Vantine, a member of the ’41 state champion teams, set the pace this year with a sizzling 79 4 7 season average. Other season averages were: Bob Greve—83 8 9; Larry Pentuik—80; Mick Andonian -—- 84 5 8; and Walt Latozas—82 1 3. ' The new squad swept through the season with an impressive record, taking second place in the district regionals at Lapeer. They met in the State Class A golfing finals at Ann Arbor, June 6, and placed third. The tennis squad accounted for them¬ selves much better than was expected when only three lettermen returned from 1941. The Chiefs entered the regionals with a record of 8 victories as against 3 defeats and 1 tie. In the regionals Jack McGrath and Bill Har- sen went to the third round before they were defeated by a close score. However, Pontiac placed third in Saginaw Valley competition. Bill Harsen was the outstanding player as he went through the entire season unde¬ feated in the singles. Jack McGrath and Kenny Frye will be the only members of the team returning for Coach Hartman to work with next year.
