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.,

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

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.
