N S 2 N 4 Lookin Back - - - Twenty years ago this fall, a new Redford High School, now the Old Building , opened to admit a total of 400 students, little more than a tenth of the present enrolment. To commem- orate that anniversary, and also the publication of twenty-five Senior Outposts, this term's edi- tors have put together a history of Redford High School in pictures. The very first high school in Redford Csecond photoj was a brick building of eight rooms. This, named the Burt School in honor of the Burt Family, who donated thenland' to the community, was built in 1914 on Grand River Road. Since 1929, this building, across from the pres- ent school, has housed the Redford Branch of the Detroit Receiving Hospital. The photograph was borrowed from Frances Burt, 9B. Back in 1915, Cbottom photoj the fac- ulty numbered seven women and two men, including-Look sharply. You're right-a lively young athlete, and stage director, as well as science teacher,-R. G. Van Avery, from whom we begged the photograph. Classes were taught through the ninth grade only. It was just twenty years ago that the Old Building opened and just sixteen years ago that a new auditorium and pool were added. Redford oilicially be- game a Detroit high school in May, 1923. In the first issue of the Senior Outpost, January, 1930, are pictured Redford's first Student Council ftop photoj. Before that, study hall officers had taken care of student official business. One of the teams that helped Coach H-ermanson to set up Redford's enviable record in golf, the 1928 squad, Cthird photoj composed of Robert Mueller, Ray- mond Morrison, Bill Fenwick, Chuck Kocsis, and Julius Balough, made both city and state championships. Another joy to the school was the de- bate squad, winning city ch-ampionship three times. Two of Coach Cyretta Morford's teams went to the quarter- fnals in state competition, in 1934 and before that, in 1932, Qbottom photo leftjz Erwin Parmalee, Gene Wilhelm, Lynne Merritt, James Tanner, Marian Mc- Clelland, Jean McGriff, Margaret Wors- wick, and Charles Gault. Three other years, although formal city championship was discontinued, Redford topped all Detroit teams. Oved '100 years ago, in 1837, in the vill- age of Sandhill, the first Redford school had its beginning. The building was erected on the corner of Burt Road and Grand River. In 1885, a second school, made of clay brick taken from the creek crossing Lahser, was built, and 1882 saw a new white frame building of one room constructed. l l Shown above is District No. 10, the school built in 1882. Four portable buildings added in 1935 and 1936 Ctop of panelj. Among the 9A math students moving from the old building to the new as it opened in '38 Cmiddle photoj we observe this year's seniors Don Abbott and Bob Crawford. Architect's drawing of proposed Second Unit for Redford Cbottom photoh. Like the ever-rolling sea, Redford keeps going-and growing with each passing year. It wasn't long before the roomy old building became quite cramped, and necessitated the addition of four portable structures of two rooms each, in 1935 and I936. But even this did not entirely solve the problem of congestion. Students trekked across Chapel Avenue to the Redford Public Library. Here, classes were held daily, easing to a small extent, the overcrowded condition in the main building. ln the fall of '38, a new building opened its doors to admit the stream of relieved students. This would have been fine,-but Redford kept on growing. Enrolment is now 3701 andl 3800 pupils are expected next term. Fifty more than that would necessitate the school's again applying for use of the public library, Construction of a new unit, which would connect the present buildings, had been scheduled for l94l, but was held up, largely because of defense needs. At present, neither the Board of Education nor the City Council can assure us of more than that a new unit for Redford heads the list . Shown here is a section of the crowd being ad- dressed by Mr. Stocking wat Red'ford's outdoor mass meeting this fall. The entire student body and faculty assembled on the athletic field to hear speeches by team members and coaches, by school officials, and by a police department safety speaker. The fact that this meeting had to be held out- doors emphasized the way that Redford has grown. Within a few terms enrollment is ex- Photos by Shuptrine pected to reach four thousand and no let-up is yet in sight. All this growth has brought many problems, some still unsolved, but it has left the original spirit of Redford unchanged. Some large schools have become impersonal and have lost part of their original spirit of friendly co- operation. It is just this spirit that makes Red- ford the interesting place that it is. The school has retained the atmosphere of informality and helpfulness that is usually found only in small schools. Facult William R. Stocking, A. J.

The friendly, free, and fun-loving spirit of Redford has been cherished by all seniors from the time they were freshmen. This trtait has been characteristic of Redford in the past and we, the departing seniors, want you, the remaining students, to keep it the same in the future. This can be accomplished by active interest and participation in the various clubs and school organizations. The future presents a more opportune occasion for con- tinuing thc growing spirit in the intramural system. Intramural sports not only bring out enthusiasm in the different study halls but also provide the varsity teams with new reserves. After spending four years here Watching this spirit grow, we do not want to see it die out-we leave it to you to keep it growing.

IORS THI K? Photos by Shuptrine Ditch-digger or wall street banker, house- wife or career woman, what'll you be ten years from now?-was the question asked this term's crop of Seniors. And what did they answer? Well, most of them have high ambitions. Anyhow, we present for your consideration what some of our Seniors think they will be doing in ten years. Wee Jean Paine, half-pint member of Senior Forum and past secretary of Aeolians, said, Oh, I'l1 be secretary to somebody big in a large office with inch thick rugs and satin draperies . . . or, l'll be a laboratory technician. Ten years from now, hmm, drawled john Emery, Oh, I don't know, I might have my own band. -which wouldn't surprise us one bit for Jack not only plays clarinet in the Senior Band, Senior Orchestra, and the dance band, but he also plays outside of school in Tommy lVlaskill's dance band which is so popular with the high school crowd. Roberta Wurst blithely started, I want to be married and if l'm not . . . well, l'll probably be pounding a typewriter. Roberta is the sweetly smiling blonde you saw in the Senior Play, and in Vigilanti, French, and Footlights Clubs pictures. Peplpy friendly golfer and Student Council mem- ber, Bill Cox smiled and said, Ten years from now, I'1l be behind an office desk, president of a chain of pharmaceutical drug stores. Big shot, in other words . . . you know. I'll have to start at the bottom and work up, but by ten years I'l1 be able to just sit and watch everybody else work. Don't believe everything you read, though. Twinkly brown-eyed commencement speaker and Hi-Y member, Jim Ohmart who was accosted dur- ing his lunch period said, between gulps, Prob- ably be a dentist . . . have a little office . . . as a hobby, research engineering. t Margie Bellenir, the sweet brownette lass you see playing the piano for the Senior Orchestra wants either to own a beauty shop of her own or be a beauty specialist. lf I have my own shop it's going to be very exclusive and luxurious, I hope, she says. As soon as she graduates, Margie plans to study the organ, which she loves but hasn't time to practice for, now. 'Nether fancied homebody is Gus Marks who says, l'll be married. have a small family, and be work- ing in a chemical laboratory. He is the peppy fellow with the black hair and wicked black eyes, whom you se on the basketball floor, football field, around the chem labs, or in a rattletrap Model T. Nan Henry, pretty Senior lassie with smiling blue eyes and taffy locks, said, Oh, I'1l probably be modeling or doing fashion illustration. Nan, or Hank as she is known to her friends, is an Aeolian, loves to dance, and likes to sketch swanky ladies. Dark little Pat Voigt with the friendly grin and quick manner, remarked, I hope l'm married by that time, which probably means that her time will be spent scraping burnt toast, hunting for friend husbancl's cuff-links which he is perpetually losing, and darning socks. PII probably be sitting in back of a big desk, with my foot up on it, smoking a fat black cigar, and taking life easy, said Howard Smith, that curly haired lad with the infectious grin and slow, easy way of moving. Barb Forrester chuckled, Still be trying to get out of this place, I guess. Although this pert Aeolian lassie and former Outpost staff writer has serious ambitions of being a nurse and also of breeding horses as a hobby. Ten years from now, I expect to be a crimin- ologist in some large city, preferably Detroit. I hope to have a family and an airplane of my own by then, too, replied Bob Crawford, blond R.O.T.C. and Senior Orchestra member. The plane part is logical since Bob has already started flying lessons. Photos by Shuptrlne Shuptrin What people do for fun,-anything from ping pong to painting, according to our cross section of Red- ford. And they know their stuff! A Somewhat past the age for play- ing with dolls is Marilyn Hale, l IB, but she has really gone into collect- ing them. Starting with an Indian doll when she was three, Marilyn has accumulated dolls 'n' dolls until she has about one hundred. The doll she holds in the picture is made of pink English Stafford- shire china and wears its original hand made bridal dress. The wo- man who owned the doll before Marilyn had it for ninety years and always called it Susan. Among her collection are a one hundred and fifty year old carved wooden doll, all of one inch high, a sacrificial Bali doll, a thirty-six inch likeness of Mary Todd Lincoln, and' a three hundred year old Mary Magdalene which was made bv ltalian nuns and hung in a church. This is your student announcer, Hal Neal, returning you to your third hour classes. That is one of the ways many Redfordites know l-lal Neal, IZA. He started radio work in the IIB with a March of Time tryout which was successful. -so successful that since then l-lal has participated in twenty Board of Education radio productions. ln addition to this work he broadcast over the P. A. system at the Cooley game, gave commercials through a loud-speaker for merchants in the Redford Shopping district last Christmas, and has had an audition for station WJLB. Hal plans to go on with his radio work at Michi- gan State College. fSee photo on right., l One can't say much about the uncommonness of Mr. Frank Smith's name but our mechanical and architectural drawing teacher's accomplishments c e r t a i n l y are. Shown in the picture with him is a water color of a scene in Plymouth Parkway. Mr. Smith studied paint- ing 'and sculpture under a former instructor at Cranbrook. One time he entered an' architectural design contest sponsored by Harvard Uni- versity in which he placed seventh. Besides this work, photography, and etching, making copies of colonial furniture, he helps his friends with their landscape problems. l-le did a llandscape in the I936 Hower show also. As a sideline in land- scaping Mr. Smith makes his own concrete garden furniture. Says he, I've never had nerve enough to sell anything. Wielding a wicked ping pong paddle, is IZB Ethel Gray. Six years of ping pong playing have given her five tricky serves and a success- ful waiting game. Her father, however, still holds the family crown. Ethel also goes in for golf, having been on the girls' golf team a year ago. Since this ga.me is a favorite among Redford- ites, a Ping Pong Club, with .a girl champ, was formed a year ago but had to be disbanded this semester. The group lacked the necessary equipment and a place to play. Photo by Hughes A blue one, two white ones, and a brown and white one are the colors of the rabbits Arthur Olsen, 9B, keeps penned up in his back yard. He and three other boys bought the rabbits last August and plan eventually to sell them for pets or meat. Believe it or not, one rabbit appears gray from a. distance but upon closer inspection is really blue. The animals weigh from six to nine pounds, and the-y got that way from eating the oats, hay, dog biscuit for rabbits, a little lettuce and greenery,-but no cabbage as in the story books.

He's my best chemistry student, said Mr. Van Avery when he had Wallace in chemistry. All A's in every one of his science courses is the Klager record. ln the picture he is filling a balloon with hydrogen. Last spring he sent out several of these, two of which came back from someone in Pennsylvania. Somewhat in the same vein, Wallace threw overboard a ketchup bottle while on the senior boat trip. The bottle was returned to him from a man in Monroe, Michigan. Going for the dogs is Phillis l..elVlire, a l0B clog lover shown holding her eleventh and twelfth dogs, both black pomeranian spitzes. The elder dog, Peggy, is six years old, although Phillis has had her only three. Last October Peggy had a puppy, now named Snooter which is a con- traction of a parental Usnootsie-pie. Phillis' other dogs have been wire-haired fox terriers and collies. Most of them were named Buster, but the l..elVlire family got original on some of them with Susie Q, Patrick and Spider. Unfortunately, the majority of her pets have been killed by automobiles. Mr. Zimmerman, chemistry and physics teacher, is pretty proud of his cartoon collection. The majority of these masterpieces, drawn by students Bob Hughes and Rudy Pessel are some humorous posters advertising safety in the chemistry luabs. So far, the collection numbers about sixty odd sketches, which Rudy Pessel is reviewing with Mr. Zimmerman in the picture. Occasionally someone's pencil will be flying furiously while the rest of the class sits calmly back during recita- tion, a paper is handed to teacher, a broad grin breaks over his countenlance, andl he quietly slips the new cartoon into a folder, amid clamors of, Let us see it, Mr. Zimmer- man. It all began with electric trains. jim Goode, IIB, spends a good part of his spare time tinkering with radios and electrical apparatus. At the left he is shown with his radio in the physics lab. One of his ambitions is to become a ham , but he is not able to send words fast enough yet. After building his first two sets in the sum- mer of l940, Jim took a class in radio work, where he learned all his big words and technical information. jim plans to go to an electrical engineering college or trade school to continue his work.

ATHLETICS The Husky football squad started off by chalk- ing up three successive victories, but were held to a tie by Chadsey, and then dropped their last three contests. Conversion of a point after touchdown was the margin of victory in the first game, in which Red- ford beat Northeastern I3 to IZ. The Huskies followed with shutouts over Southwestern, I2 to 0, and Western, II to 0, before being tied by Chadsey, 6 to 6. g ln the last three games the Huskies couldn't score and lost to Cooley, I7 to 05 Central, 7 to 09 and Mackenzie I3 to 0. Coach Hojnacki had a fine starting team this fall, but lack of reserves kept the Huskies from having a winning eleven: Cooley, Metropolitan champs, and Mackenzie, which finished in a tie with Cooley for the West League title, were both outplayed for three quarters by Redford, but superior manpower of the opposition spelled defeat instead' of victory for the Red and Gray. The eleven iron men that started the games The Husky line smeared Suzy Weinstein, Central's ace back, on this play, but the Huskies lost 7 to 0. stayed in almost the full forty-eight minutes and an average of only fifteen boys played in each game. The Husky golfers, defending Fall Medal champions, dropped their title to Cooley as they tied Mackenzie for third place. Redford's quartet of Curtis and Frank Cmreen, Ezra lVlcElmurry, and Bill Cox shot 358 in the tournament at North Hills on September 28. Despite the loss this fall, Coach Hermanson is optimistic about the chances of his team in the tournament next spring, even though Captains Curtis Green and' Bill Cox will have graduated. Only two letterwinners, Ed Brugman and Bob Carpenter, returned from last year's cross coun- try team, so Coach Hermanson wasn't too surprised when his squad was eliminated in the West League Met. Redford's only representative in the City Meet was Brugman, who finished tenth. The Husky No. 2 man was Gordon Stanley, a sophomore who shows promise of developing into a Hue runner. Photo by shupmne George Bull, Dave Parker, Ralph Gawlas, and Gale Feather, who paced the Huskies to seven dual victories. Photo by Hughes Taking' two firsts, one second, a third, and a fifth in the city finals, the Husky swimming team captured third place in the city standings. Cap- tain Gale Feather won both the 200-yard free style and the individual medley. George Bull, Loren Bloetscher, Ralph Gawlas, and both the free style and medley relay teams were Redford's other entrants in the league finals at Northwestern's pool, December 18. Feather's time in the 200-yard free style is a new city record. ln duel meet competition Coach Stuckey's tank- ers iinished third on the West Side. With many veterans returning, Coach Lovchuk anticipates a promising spring tennis season. This fall there was no official season, but three doubles teams, Bill Drudge and Jim Nankervis, Bob Rich- ards land Don iVlcCtaw, and Bill Sayres and Doug Fritz, entered an Invitational Tournament spon- sored by the Detroit Tennis Club. Besides these boys, Ronnie Thiele, Francis Wildrig, John Chapin, and Joe Pettit, will be ready in the spring. Numerous promotions were made in Redford's R.O.T.C. unit after the Held officers' test on Octo- ber 9, Bill Bierwirth was promoted to Cadet Colonel, commander of the first of two regiments in the city, and Neff Dietrich to Cadet Lieutenant Colonel, commander of the first battalion of the first regiment. These promotions necessitated the advancement of eight other commissioned officers. Ruhl Kahler, company commander, and Horace Rathburn, regimental adjutant, were made cap- tainsg Paul Fitzpatrick and Sherwood Lapping, first lieutenantsg and Bill Clemons, Rudy Pessel, Roy Gruezke, and Don French, second lieutenants. Redford's unit participated in the Navy and Arm- istice Day Parades this fall.

They beat Chadsey, 3-lg Northern, 4-lg and Mackenzie, 2-Og while losing only to Highland Park, 4-2, in their last match. Redford girls took indi- vidual honors on Golf Day, September 24, at Palmer Park with Shirley Spork, 9B, making first place and Margaret Young, HA, finishing second. Girls' intramural basketball matches were held again this year, with study hall 201 taking top honors by going through an undefeated seiason. To top their season the girls were rewarded with a red' and gray championship pennant to hang in their study hall. The co-captains heralding the winning team to victory were Jane l..eBargy and Alva Henning. A 2 to I win over Northern and a tie with the girls from Highland Pfark were the only bright notes in the girls' field hockey te'am's five game schedule. The girls drop- ped two games to Cooley and another to Mackenzie. Margaret Cusick was the captain of the squad, while Janet Carpenter, who was the leading scorer, assisted her. Janet and Lois McGinnis tallied one goal apiece in the 2-2 tie with Highland Park, The first game with Cooley and the one with the Mackenzie girls were both lost by the same score, 3-l. ln the last game, Cooley shut out the Redford girls 3 to 0.

Dedication of the newly purchased Hammond electric organ gave this year's concert special significance. Mr. Love played a group of spectacular selections, includ- ing a composition of his own, to show what the organ can do. Other highlights of the program were jack Ringstad's baritone solo of The Fleag the senior orchestra in the modern music number. Mefropo'lisg the senior band in a patriotic and military medley, with drum majors A1 Hope, Ted La Forge and Gene Flamboe twirling lighted batonsg and the Hinale, combined choruses and instruments in Fletcher's Song of Victory. For the concert finale, The Song of Victory fsee photo abovel, soul-stirring effect wlas pro- duced by adlding to the full-stage chorus, sections of singers in the wings and at the back of the auditorium in the balcony and downstairs, the directors, Mr. Frenzel, Mr. Picken, and Mr. Fenby, working in perfect co-ordination with Mr. Love, who led from the podium. With the -concert proceeds, the department has been able to pay back into the general fund all but three hundred dollars of the two thousand Photos by Hughes which the organ cost and which, it seems certain, will be completely cleared by next spring. Redf0rd's seventy-four-piece band, one of the three R.O.T.C. marching bands in the city, again led the Navy Day and Armistice Day parades downtown and ofhciated at all the school football games, including the Cooley game at U. of D. stadium. The novelty orchestra, traditional at Redford, kept its unbeaten record of serving at all school dlances, for the eighth year. A smooth new dinner orchestra, originated by Mr. Frenzel, enter- tained at the Drama Council banquet, for the Cosmopolitan Women's Club, and at the Detroit Golf Club's Christmas party. In the vocal division, the select mixed chorus did Redford proud by singing for the Kiwanis Club at the Statler Hotel, at a dinner dance in the Crystal ballroom of the Masonic Temple, and numerous other local gatherings. Let us not forget the juniors.

Ruth Blair, .Janet Curley. Betty Kreger, Dorothy McKinnon, Betty Wark, Mar1anna Hancock Photo by Hughes The dramatics division has forged ahead and cut a wide lane of activities. The senior play was the outstanding regular school production. Two drama classes entertained the student body with a Christmas program presented in two assembly periods. A prologue, an original work by Joyce Robertson, IZA, was followed by five tableaux relating the story of Christ- m.as. Mr. Love and Mr. Fenby directed the Glee Club in carols played by Mr. Bennell on the organ. The adult dramatics group, The Redford Faculty Play- ers, organized in l94l, began work on their annual play, You Cdn't Take If With You, to be presented in the spring term. The leads cast are Mrs. LeFavour, Mrs. Hedwig Taylor, W. Bostick, Miss Barbey, and Jim Taylor. This year's officers are: G. Manson Taylor, president: W. C. Picken, vice-presidentg F. Hojnacki, treasurer: Hedwig Taylor, corresponding secretary, Taylor, recording secretary, B. B. Knapp, directorg 'and Earl Roger,s photographer. On December l, this group was host to a dinner at Red- ford, to thirty-five dramatics groups, totalling one hundred twenty-five members in the metropolitan district, and they formed the new Metropolitan Drama Council. The pur- pose of the council is to concentrate community dramatic interest into a co-operative unit and to aid in the U.S.O. program. Among the ofhcers elected, are Bertha Bright Lights! Music! Thus the curtain rose on the climax of the senior dramatic activity, New Fires, the class play, presented Janu- ary I6 and I7 by a cast of twenty-eight l2A's. Written by Charles Burdette, the three act comedy had a definite moral, which distinguished it from previous productions. The plot concerns the difficulties over- come by an author to bring his parasitic family to sustain itself. The setting, a rundown farm, inherited by the family afforded many comical situxations. Mr. Frank Meyer, stage technician, and his stage crew made all the props needed instead of renting them as in previous years. The cast, as a part of the USO program, planned to give the play entertainment at army camps. Knapp, president, and Lena Doll, second vice-president, from the Redford group. The council plans, as its first activity, a week long festival of original one-act plays to be presented in June, climaxecl by an original work stimulating patriotism and loyalty to the United States, in which all groups will participate.

Row 1: Roberta Wurst, Michael Roth, Don Abbott, Virginia Glasgow, Mrs. Bertha Bright Knapp To further, enjoy, and originate the dramatic art in all forms is the purpose of the Footlights Club. During the term, instead of sponsoring a dance as other clubs do, the members, numbering thirty- three, gave special plays and dramatic fea- tures. Some of its members wrote original skits, which were presented at the Country Club and the Children's Village. They also demonstrated for lectures, given by Mrs. Bertha Bright Knapp, at the W0men's City Club, for the Beta Sigma Phi, and for the Rosedale Park Literary Coterie Club. The club provided special entertainment at the Christmas dance, and held an auction for Alai, says Joyce Robertson as doctor Jim Ghmart tries to diagnose her ailment while Dan Abbott and Roberta Wurst look on. His verdict was heart trouble and his recommendation for recovery run up and down the stairs until you're killed or cured. Later on the doctor proved himself a victim of the same disease, and as a remedy,--married his own patient. the benefit of the soldiers at camp. A trip to Ann Arbor provided interest and entertain- ment as well as education. The group toured the School of Music and the old theater building and the newly built carillon. A delicious dinner was eaten at the Womewn's League Building and then the party watched the Blue Bird from the front rows of the Nlendelssohn Theater. Nine schools, under the leadership of the Footlights Club, formed the Detroit Metropolitan Drama Council, for high school drama groups. Over one hundred and fifty students attendedr the dinner on December 5, which was given in the Redford High School dining room. The purpose' was to concentrate interest and offer a wider selection of talent. The council will also be active in the USO program and will endeavor to benefit the community. 1 . The council will gradually expand to include all the city school dramaclubs. Provision has also been made for those students who are interested, in dramatics but have no organized club in their school, to join the council. The council members graduating from the high school group may join the senior group, the Nletropolitan Drama Council.

Scott Hudson, Hal Neal, Vic Krohn, Bob Hughes, Don Wilson The Student Council took over the task of being Redford l-ligh's Home Defense Council this semester. In this connection they bought a. new six by ten foot Flag, to replace the worn out one above the old building. Also, they distributed information about how to turn scrap iron to use by selling it to junk dealers. The Student Council again took part in running the Used Book Exchange, which netted about I30 dollars last september. Of the profit one hundred dollars was donated to the fund for purchasing the Hammond Organ. Another project of the Council was providing half the money which financed the 32-page student handbook which will be distributed free to all students next semester. During the course of the term the Council cleaned house and attempted to get a new start. President Gordon Waltman promoted motions doing away with all old laws of the Council. Fol- lowing the president's proposal, several constitu- tional amendments were passed, one of which increased the membership from 36 to 40.

D. reene The Radio Club Dance fsee photo on right, honor- ing the R.O.T.C. drill platoon was only one of the many activities of the Radio Club and classes. The dance was held to raise the money for the final payment on the recorder which the school bought last year. The Redford Radio Unit was also very active in other fields this term. among which were announcing the Redford!-Cooley game at the U. of D. stadium over the public address system. Hal Neal, Paul McAdams, John Bennett, and Bill Graham did this work. Another feature of this term's work was the annual Board of Education Broadcasts, which were so successful that eight radio students received the rating of Football Fantasy was the theme of the OUTPOST showcase displays, new this semester. While the football team was winning, the staff exhibited a miniature tank leaving in its wake the battered goal posts of the defeated teams. After the last three losses, however, a lettermfan hung from a small gallows. The publilcation of a handbook for next semester was also undertaken by the OUTPOST this term. Facts about clubs, and other activities, locations of lockers and rooms, athletes' records will be in this handbook. Also for the first time this semester the OUTPOST circulated a picture section, the Scholastic Roto, with copies of the news- paper.

Hudson advertisement, on which the OUTPOST staff and art and retailing classes collaborated, are Carolyn Cum- mins and Amy lVlid'dleton, l2B's of the art class and Adcraft Club. The Adlcraft Club displayed their spirit of generosity Christmas when they wrapped gifts for the children in Redford Receiving Hospital. Highlight of the Commercial Club's activities during the past semester was a really Mexican, teachers' tea Fiesta, Nlexican decorations provided the South of the Border atmosphere, and contributed to the delight of the teachers and Commercial Club members. The Latin Club members again had a full semester with big doings going on. It all started with an informal initia- tion picnic at Lola Valley. Came Christmas time and th-e Latinites, with the co-operation of the Sonnet and Song Club, ga-ve off with the Holly Hop. They also under- took a Senior Farewell banquet. Anyone not French, breaking into a French Club meet- ing, wouldn't have stayed: very long, for the members often conducted their meetings in that language. They also had a bingo party--a French bingo party. Adcraft Club Nonnan General, president: Phil Chase, vice-president: Bob Kiley, secretary: Allan McPherson, treasurer. Back Row: Amy Middleton.

Their occupation is not as frivolous as it looks, since these paper cut outs will be used to decorate the windows of the ward for crippled children at the Farmington Convalescent Home. Active Aeolians hustled up and put on a smash hit dance-the first of the year. This Touchdown Tumble was the only dance which members of the football team were allowed to attend during the football season. Among their other activities were the sending of candy to soldiers, a formal initiation at the Pallister Tea Room, Red Cross Work, a Christmas basket and present for a needy family, and a Senfibr Farewell. Knit one, purl two, knit one, drop two . . . oh darn! Knitting has its hazards but the Knatty Knitters have managed! to produce innumerable a.rticles, including sweaters, socks, and mittens. This club, which is organ- ized under the Red Cross, requires a knitted afghan square as application for membership. The Red Cross knits the squares into blankets and sends them to hospitals. Their initiation, in September, was a Weenie roast at Rouge and was it fun! Since Knatty Knitters is a service club, there are no dues, so the girls collect paper and the proceeds of the sales replenish the trea,su.ry.- Not only clever, but patriotic! IFS been G busy year for the girls in the Ellen H. Rich- ardls Club, and their schedule was one long list of conven- tions and parties. They attended Conventions at North- ern High, at Y.W.C.A., and the Wayne University. There was diversion in their parties, as they included a Splash Party, a Bean Party a Christmas Party, and an All-City Party at Highland Park High School for home economics clubs all over the city. Their purpose is to do something for the community, something for the school, and something for themselves. Q . Ellen H.

A hay ride was their principal outside social function of the semester, while the main gathering of the year for the club alone was a swim breakfast in October. Again this year the R club sponsored the Faculty-Varsity Basketball game, which the Varsity won 37 to 23. The A.S.M.D. or Math Club began their social activi- ties this fall with a splash party in October. A major event of the semester, however, was a lesson in rhumba and conga technique by Miss Lillian Granzow, an Arthur lVlulrra4y instructor. They climaxed the semester when at their Christmas Party they presented a patch work quilt which they made, to the Red Cross. Again this term the Senior Forum took a trip through a prominent place of business in Detroit, going to the Hotel Statler. They got behind the scenes and viewed the com- plicated management of that large organization. Co-sponsorship in the Christmas Dance with the Latin Club was the leading activity of the semester for the Son- net and Song Club and they attended a La lVlarotte Splash Party.

They also contributed two baskets of food to the needy, one at Thanksgiving and the other at Christmas time. ln keeping with their reputation as a literature club, Vig donated a number of books to the school library. ln the early fall the club's faculty tea was well attended by the teachers. Also active this semester were the Girl Reserves. The White Chapter donwated five dollars to the World Fellow- ship, which dfistributes international charity through the Y.W.C.A. organizations. The Blue Chapter made up a Thanksgiving basket this year. To change the natural wlay of things, for mothers are often being feted, they held a banquet for their fathers in the school lunchroom January 7. At the beginning of school in the fall they sponsored the Freshman Mixer, with free frostbites for everyoneg upper classmen explained every school organi- zation, what each does and how to join. Anxious to con- tribute their own services to the school, they are now in charge of checking hats and coats for all school doings in the auditorium. Following a semi-annual custom, the Girl Reserve Cup was awarded at the Honors Meeting to the Most Outstanding Girl in the senior class.

Frieda Sherman w ? To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school, home, and community, high standards of Christian character --This is the oath to which the Hi-Y pledges of both the Red and.the Gray Chap- ters, pictured above at the formal initiation ban- quet, are about to be submitted. The induction ceremony is an annual event, this one being held last October. At this year's banquet there were I9 new members sworn into the clubg l l of these were from the Red Chapter. As usual this is the most solemn occasion in the course of a Hi-Y membership. . Of course, All work and no play has never been a very good theme for any body of people. At least the Hi-Y hasn't thought so. This year they have done a good deal of both, On the work sideg there was the Used Bookstore, on which they co-operated with the Student Council to make this new project the success it Was. The Photo by Shuptrine Hi-Y sold the bookcovers that are now keeping over 3,700 books around Redford clean, and as usual the club has placed barrels for people donating to the needy at Christmas and Thanksgiving time, and arranged these donations into baskets which they delivered in person. Of course, the new basketball scoreboard must not be forgotten. This was pur- chased for l40 dollars by the Hi-Y Club and pre- sented officially to the athletics department at the faculty-varsity basketball game, December 8. As for the fun side, what about the informal initi.ations and the traditional I-Ii-Y hayrides at Grammans Stables? There were two of the latter this year. Then there's the annual inter-chapter foot brawl game. Before a good crowd of I-li-Y admirers, on November I4, the Grays ran over the Red Chapters to the tune of l2-0. Other events on the Hi-Y calendar were the fresh- man mixer, managed by the Gray Chapter as usual, and a swim breakfast. Row 3: Bill Linebaugh.

Smith, Bill Marvin OR DEFE Through Red Cross classes, shop work, Defense Council activihy, and in the Army, Redford students and faculty are doing their part toward national defense. When war came to the United States this December, Redford had already organized to do its part in our war effort. ln Novem- ber a Redford Defense Council was formed with representatives from: the students, faculty, parents, and' alumni of Redford in attendance. It is under the supervision of the Michigan Defense Council and helps to c.arry out the plans of that organization. Activities of the Council will include the supplying of information on defense proj- ects, stimulating the supply of scrap metal and paper for industrial purposes, and ar- ranging for speakers at various meetings in the school. Gordon Waltman was elected president of the council, John Chapin, vice-president, and Janet Meyer, secretary. Miss Van Houten is co-ordinator. ln the Council's December scrap iron drive. Redford reported over 10,000 pounds of metal sold to junk dealers in five days, re- sults which earned commendation by Col. Harold A. Furlong, State Administrator of Defense. Redford's boys have revally made a name for themselves in the Army. Since the mid- dle of October, l940, John Green and Claus Anderson have been on active duty with the U. S. Army. When the local units of the National Guard were called into federal service, both boys joined their out- fits for training. Claus has already attained the rank of sergeant in the Anti-Tank Corps. Shortly after reporting for duty, John quali- fied as a Sharp-shooter, a rating superior to that of most men in the Army, rifle, pistol, and .22 calibre weapons. Both of the boys were members of the Class of January i942 and are stationed with the l25th Infantry in Louisiana. In addition to these former members, Red- ford is represented by scores of alumni in the Army and other branches of service, including David Blair, somewhere in the Pacific with the Marines. David was at Pearl Harbor December 7. Captain Harlow Tubbs, former Redford teacher, is also stationed with the 125th lnfantry, but because of War conditions the exact location of soldiers is indefinite. President Waltman conducts The first meeting of the Redford Defense Council X Photos by Hughes Thanks to the Knatty Knitters, Redforc1's Red Cross knitting club, Christmas was brighter for many. In the above photo are shown members of the club. They made numerous child'ren's articles, such as bean? ies, sweaters, and mittens. Some teachers, voted honorary members lent their services. Redford's sewing classes also made toys and articles of clothing, suach as dresses and skirts, for the Red Cross. Other good-will deeds were performed by the junior Red Cross of Redford, a newly organized, club. The members of the Red Cross Council arranged for all the clubs to make up at least one Christmas basket each for needy families. The Junior Red Cross is also Working on an album of Redford clubs' activities to send to other cities or countries. Meeting daily after their teaching schedule, 36 members of the faculty are studying a standard course in first aid, with a Red Cross representative as instructor. First Aid will be compulsory for all l2A's for grad- uation, beginning next term. Photo by Shuptrine Air raid drills and other emergency safety measures are being carried out under the supervision of Mr. Comer, school safety director. Red Cross night school students, totaling a class of 60, practice first aid on each other, learning to take care of broken ribs, bruised limbs, and other injuries which might be incurred in a bombing. We would like one person in every city block to learn first aid work in case an emergency should arise, said Mr. Homer Clark, night school principal.

RED GRD In The School Sound deadening blocks are a necessary luxury in any school . . . when they stay up in the air where they belong. When they start getting ideas of their own and go floating through the air it's time to stop them and that is what this Board of Education em- ployee is doing. These blocks have a disgusting habit of dropping from the ceiling onto the heads of passing students and he is gluing one back to its perch. No injury has resulted from one of these con- tacts because the blocks are as light as the proverbial feather, but we have our hopes. Bob Hughes snapped the picture. L Coach Hojnacki, seen through Bob Telfer's camera, seems to be fidgeting on the bench during football practice. Next to the coach aare a group of girls, turned in by Helen Stucler. The lower right corner contains an owl's-eye View of one of the famous Hi-Y hayrides. Visible through the murk are Ernie Keckonen and Nancy Henry, Lee Kenney and Betty Dondineau, Jack Hayden and Hazel Wallace', Jack Hamilton and Marilyn Zink. The hayride was held in the last of October by the Gray Chapter. Photo by Frey. The' football team tackles and blocks. This astound- ing information is proven by Bob Telfer's piwcture of practice. The first team is lined up before the block- ing dummies and are about to do their stuff. Above this shot is a Gus Marks picture of a girl. This in itself is not remarkable. The really different part of the picture is this: Gus doesn't know who she is! A reward of one flash bulb, used, will be given for accurate information as to her identity. The final picture was taken by Shuptrine and shows a group of students on the Community Fund tour this fall.
