D C BA M F25 , ..,.: fi Q 11 js ,Q R994-69 Responding' promptly to the new demands required of high schools by the national emergency, Redford quickly began to put into effect the many curricular changes that will transform the school to a total war basis. While most of the changes were designed to begin next semester, several actually began this term. Among them was the introduction into the mathematics department of Pre-Flight aero- nautics, which attracted enough students in its first year for the formation of two classes. Adapting the general outline for all Detroit high schools to Redford's particular needs, Principal William R. Stocking and Assistant Principal A. L. Hegener are shown plotting the many curriculum additions, substitutions, and subtractions on the huge class plan which charts the schedule of every organized activity at Redford. Beginning next semester all boys will he required to follow one of six pre-induction programs through the 11th and 12th grades. These courses of study are planned to fit boys for either future air service, arlny service, sea service, professional service, comlnercial service, or economic service. In all of these programs, mathematics, science or shop, and physical fitness or R.0.T.C. will be compul- sory throughout the 11th and 12th grades. All these revisions, however, take time to complete and the final result of Redford's streamlined curriculum cannot adequately he judged until all the plans have gone into operation. By next fall Code Practice, Touch Typing, Contemporary Affairs, Fundamentals of Machines, Electricity, Radio and Shop Wfork will probably have been substituted for English History, Physiology, Descriptive Chemistry, Descriptive and Applied Physics and Traffic Safety, which have been dropped for the duration. At present, however, with Aeronautics, First Aid, compulsory Physical Fitness Train- ing for seniors, and in addition the many student sponsored voluntary contributions and drives, the January Class leaves a school definitely '6Geared for War. 3 1 l A , Never in all the time Pve been at Red ord have I seen this school co- , f 99 operate so completely as in the scrap drive. This statement made by Miss Menard, manager of our 1942 unforgettable scrap drive and referring to only one phase of the Husky war effort, might well describe the zeal with which Redford has carried out the many war projects of this semester. Heading the list, stands the school's achievement of oveL56 tons of scrap metal collected, the greatest amount assembled by any Detroit high school. On the opposite page are pictured only a few of the more publicized activi- ties that students have taken part in to further the progress of the war. In the top photo on the left is shown the bustling machine shop class for 12A's. This newly inaugurated industrial train- ing course met daily the last six weeks of the term from 4 to 7, especially for seniors. Slightly below and to the right is pictured one of the two new aeronautics classes, in this case studying the effect of air pressure on a plane in Hight. So popular were aero classes with prospective fliers that enough students have en- rolled to assure at least five next semester. At the extreme right a corps of camp cookers flaunt their skill in a class designed to give boys fundamental knowledge of cooking. Although 29 enrollees received interesting and valuable instruction, the experiment will not be continued next semester because of the increase in required subjects for pre-induction training. The first picture in the center row shows Audrey Book, an advanced Latin student, explaining the intricacies of Roman declension to a Latin C11 class. Audrey was one of many nstudent tcachcrsn who aided in the war-occasioned shortage of teacher substitutes, especially when regular instructors were handling gasoline rationing. Next, a familiar shot of our own man made mountainn of scrap, which will not soon be forgotten by the hundreds of Redford students who built it, of just about every derelict of metal you can think of. Miss Menard and a War Council Committee, and the Hi-Y clubs labored strenuously both Satur- days and weekdays for two weeks locating and hauling in the community's contributions. Bouquets go also to the Girl Reserves, who stood guard at the pile for two weeks. In the final picture of this row, a group of former gentle- men of leisure unlimber a few unused muscles as part of Uncle Sam's physical fitness campaign. Introduced this year for all 12A's and planned next year to include all boys and as many girls as willing, the program consists of calisthenics, commando training, and organized athletics. The bottom row of photographs starts out with a line of record room salesmen waiting, on a typical morning, to cash in Redford,s weekly orders for U. S. Savings stamps. Up to December 21, 11,069 dollars had gone through the school's turnstiles, 2,116 dollars of which were sold on December 7. In addition, partly through the school's efforts, over 56,850 dollars of bonds were sold at the Northwest Detroit War Coun- cil's rally on November 24 in the auditorium. Adjacent is a shot of 20-odd students who carried canisters for Student Council's collection for the War Chest. Paced by a 100-dollar donation from the Music Department, Redford organizations pledged 500 dollars. With the canister collec- tions and teachers, pledges, the school's contributions totaled over 2,200 dollars. And the last picture shows Mrs. Barron and Mr. Earl Smith hard at work filing a few of the 3,000 ration cards a com- mittee of 15 teachers processed during fuel rationing regis- tration. Part of an impressive patriotic assembly honoring American Education Week was the Victory tableau shown in the right hand photograph at the foot of this page. Education for Free Men was carried out in ceremony, pantomime, and speeches by collaboration of the dramatics, ROTC, social science, and music departments. Composed of a special committee selected by Miss Menard, co-ordinator, from Student Council members, the War Coun- cil directs student activities for the war effort and meets once a month for conference with an advisory board of faculty and parents. Pictured at the left below are Norman General, Harriet Stephens, Gwen Switze1', and George Rutenbar talking over War Council plans. A particular activity fostered by the Council is the Speakers' Bureau, whose members stand ready to serve whenever requested by talking on topics im- portant to the War. These pictures at best are only a sample of all that was accomplished during the past term. Both this semester and last, every club' and department in the school heartily pitched in and contributed to whatever projects it was able to help, by building model airplanes, for instance, knitting for the Red Cross, planting Victory gardens or learning First Aid. Not forgetting all-important .morale either, the OUTPOST pub- licized and explained-the war program besides printing a special edition on the wartime curriculum. Radio classes also spent many extra hours preparing programs explaining and encouraging the war effort. Every Redford student is automatically a member of the Junior Red Cross because of the school's hearty support of such drives as the seeds for Russia drive and kits for service- men campaign. Representatives of all the clubs carry on such business through the school's Junior Red Cross Council, headed by Miss Clark. Beyond student activities, Mr. Comer is in charge of all arrangements and equipment for aid raid and safety precau- tions. Another committee of faculty stands ready in case the school is used as a disaster center. Uver all organizations, student and faculty, Mr. Homer Clark is general director. During December, the War Council and Junior Red Cross, with the help of art students, began assembling a Schools at War scrap book which will report to the Federal Govern- ment what Redford has done and is doing in the war effort. In many ways the January, 1943, class graduates into the world of cold reality with more practical advantages than its predecessors. While a few of the campus frivolities have had to be dispensed with, many Redford students have been able to gain a fuller education because of the presence of the war, than they would have otherwise. About half of the student body helped out at local stores and in the Post Office during the Holiday season. Many also have taken on full time regular jobs as war workers after school hours. Any list of the diferent positions held by Redford students would of necessity be too lengthy for publication, but a representative cross section of 12A's was taken and the examples given below are typical. Loma Sink, shown in the top left photo, has complete charge of a woman war worker's household. Her duties include manag- ing two young children, buying and preparing the meals plus all the rest of managing a household. The second photo shows Delbert Juracek busy with the complexities of a shaper, which he learned to operate in our machine shop. His experience served him in such good stead that he now operates the same type of machine at a local industrial plant. Industrial design is a field usually thought of as needing advanced training, but 12A Russell Vaillancourt C3rd picture, top row, stepped right into an important position on the strength of his study in Redford mechanical drawing classes. Starting the bottom row, the camera picks out three of the school's Civil Aeronautics Patrol members, Calvin Sandburg, Roger Maguire and Andrew Bloetscher Cstandingl struggling with some of the navigation problems given to students in the government's huge national progranl. The next picture is of Bob Watts, an advanced pupil in commercial subjects here, who now spends his extra hours in typing for the Union Equipment Company. The final, lower right hand photo shows Helen Cook enter- ing the Detroit Bell Telephone Company, where she is em- ployed as an operator. So strict are the company's rules that no one is admitted to the vital departments of the building without complete identification, which might give some idea of the seriousness of Helen's job. w-1-wwmw I-ww-V .- .W-M mums W .We ,.

'iBased on latest available card marking. 25 Completing the last varsity season for the duration of the war, Coach Hojnacki,s gridders played two victories, one tie, and four losses. In their pre-season opener the Huskies beat a heavier Northeastern team, 12-7, but from then on the boys lost the speed and deception which they showed against the Falcons, bowing on successive week-ends to Mackenzie 19-6, Northwestern 19-0, and U. of D. High, 13-0. Then, after a 39-20 win over the Wilbur Wright Pilots, they seemed to be on the comeback trail. This was verified on the following Friday when Redford and Cooley met at U. of D. Stadium. The Huskies played their best game of the year, coming back strong in the second half after the Cards had taken a 13-0 lead at half time. Jim Aliber's pass to Jack Cole on the third play of the third period Gene Simescu, Cooley left-half, tripped up at the line in the Red- ford-Cooley game. brought the Huskies down to the Cooley 6-yard line, and Jim Aliber carried it over from there in four plays. No less than three more scoring opportunities came the Huskies' way in the last twenty minutes of play, but they could not capitalize on them and the game ended with the Cards still out in front 13-7. After this thriller the seasonis finale with the Central Trailblazers came as an anticlimax and the boys had to be satisfied with a 6-6 tie. A brighter note was heard after the pigskins were laid away and the press began to publish their All- City teams. The News and Free Press both named Jim Aliber at the fullback spot, while the Times placed Captain Marcel Charette in the first-string guard position. 26 EAMES Ill E On Pearl Harbor Day the Board of Education officially passed a ruling dividing the city league intomfour leaguesof-,five teams eacliito facilitate transportation between schools, and began a new physical fitness program designed to condition high-school students to take their place in the nationis war effort. Many seniors with vacant periods at some time during the day were assigned gym or swimming classes immediately and next semester every boy in the school will have one hour a day of physical training. 2 FOOTBALL Members of Coach Hermanson's third hour Row 7: Bob Starr, Allen Jackson, Bill Seibert, Stuart Ramkin, Bob Stough, Bob Walls, Bob Collins, Don Bunn, .lim Ridley.

This was a fitting way to end for the dura- tion a sport in which Redford has always been at or near the top. TALLYING 21 POINTS, THE SWIMMING team placed fifth in the city meet, following Western, Denby, Northwestern, and Cooley. Pacing the squad were Harold Krause, who placed first in the 50-yard free style, and Richie Brown, Paul Wiseley, Bob McGrath, and Harold Krause of the 150-yard free style relay team, who took city honors in that event. In dual meet competition, Redford lost to Western, Northwestern, and .,Cooley, but.won four victories, over Central, Chadsey, Mac- kenzie, and Southwestern. WITH ONLY TWO VETERANS BACK FROM last year's squad, the cross country team re- corded for the season one victory and two de- feats. In the West Side finals the Harriers did better than expected, Joe Metz and Fred Stolicker placing third and fourth, respec- tively, behind Edmondson of Northwestern and Bob Davis of Cooley. In a previous meet with Northwestern, Joe had achieved what seemed impossible by defeating Bob Edmond- son, city mile champion last year. Then came the city finals, and Stolicker and Metz, Redford's two entries, placed 11th and 35th, respectively, far below their usual standards. Next year, however, they should make the nucleus of a much stronger team. IN FIELD HOCKEY, THE GIRLS ENDED their season with one win, two losses, and four ties. The victory was over Cooley, by the score of 3 to 1. Captain Peg Cusick was as- sisted by Lois McGinnis. REDFORD,S ENLARGED WART IME R.O.T.C. WAS headed by Cadet Major Kalin Johnson this semester.

Sergeant Dominic Bertetti, director of the Redford R.O.T.C. since its establishment in 1935, was called last June to active service in the Army. 4 EWSPAPEH In addition to covering the regular school news this yearis Outpost shouldered the further burden of interpreting the war developments as they affected Redford. The paper fea- tured a series of articles on our allies and a column on the exploits of former Redford students in the service. But by far the most notable accomplishment of the paper was the part it took in explaining the changes necessary to adapt the curriculum to the new pre-induction program. To do this the Outpost printed a special war edition with two extra pages to acquaint the students with the war training. fi ,ffA.l7L Er!

For the sake of those not fully aware of the exact procedure for securing a story and having it printed in the Outpost the pic- ture story above is given. Reading from left to right we first see Paul- ine De Rocco interviewing Miss Egan, girls' counselor. By the appearances of the con- versation a story is in the ofling, so let's fol- low it. Pauline is now showing her completed arti- cle to Bill Levitan, newly elected news editor, who will edit and cut or enlarge it if neces- sary. In the next photo we leave the editorial problems for a minute and take a look in at Mr. Walton's ninth hour camera class. Here, the Editor-in-Chief of the Outpost always sends a list of pictures he wants for the next issue of the paper, and itis the job of these student cameramen to have accompanying photographs for important stories, such as Pauline has tracked down. Apparently the News Editor thought our little 'cscoopv was worth printing because here he is showing it to Editor-in-Chief ,lim Judge and Headline Editor Margaret Holk. These three will determine if it needs re-writ- ing, what kind of a headline it will have and exactly what size it will be and where it will go in the paper. The latter is done on the large, full size page plan that the three are surveying in the picture. Now the copy has gone to the printers and the galley proofs have come back and are be- ing checked with the original story for any typographical errors or last minute changes that might have to be made. When all the corrections are- made the 'igalleyv of Paul- ine's story that is here being okayed by John Pavey will be sent back to the printers. The final checkup before the Outpost goes to press is done at the printers by Miss Van Houten and the Editor-in-Chief, as Jim is do- ing with the print shop foreman in the last picture. YEAHBUUH Despite the presence of several war time handicaps un- known to former annual staffs the January, 1943, yearbook has a number of distinct and original features. One of the most noteworthy of these is the special extra durable cloth cover that binds three hundred of this year's edition. These coveted few are especially for the members of the senior class. Also unique in this year's book are the special sections set aside for the service men and defense workers.

This is one of the most tedious and least appreciated tasks of radio production. In the upper photo Janet Holderfield and Dick Barnett labor strenu- ously to turn out a suitable script for one of the many dramatic programs requested by different departments this semester. Below is pictured one of the next phases in the evolution of our show. The script has been prepared and now the engineers, An- drew Bloetscher, John Horning, and Sophia Jardine, are shown getting ready musical transitions and special sound effects to be used. Later these will be synchronized with the dramatic dialogue by the director, but first they must be selected, timed, and worked out alone. Our radio unit has 12 professional, double face sound records and over 60 musi- cal records, giving our student producers am- ple variety in the type of shows to be pre- sented. 32 In any contest to determine what Redford service group did most for the war effort, the radio classes would certainly rank among the leaders. Con- tinuing their policy of advertising for all drives and campaigns throughout the term, Miss Morfordis group did one of the biggest jobs in the school. The unit again worked under a station setup with student managers direct- ing the organization. Loren Blitscher served as station manager, Pat Bracker as chief announcerg Janet Holderfield, head Continuity Writer, Calvin Sandberg, Production manager, Andrew Bloetscher, Chief Engineer, and John Horning, Sound Technician. Few people realize the work con- nected with producing a program even over our P.A. set, and, without appreciating how much work is done, the proportions of the Radio group's accomplishments cannot be fully realized. The full evolution of a WRBG radio drama is shown below. goes over the air. 'fWRBG feature.

More than nine hundred students took part in this yearis Fall Concert, which featured sev- eral stirring patriotic numbers. These con- sisted of a group of the outstanding pieces of the present war, representing each branch of the armed service, arranged for the Senior Band by Howard Frenzel, director of the band and orchestra. Especially noteworthy was the grand finale, Ode to America, written by How- ard A. Love, head of the music department. Featured soloists in the concert were Martha Grady and Jack Ringstadg the boys' quartet and a selected group of girls were also popu- lar with the record audience which jammed the auditorium each evening of the three- night program.

COLLECTING OLD RECORDS AND SELL- ing them to make money to send to the Quakers for the maintenance of a French child was the French Club's main project this semester.

What's more, the members showed their generosity by donating money for the service men's kits and by filling Christmas baskets. if Xl WHEREVER YOU LOOK IN REDFORD'S halls you will probably see some of the art work done by the Adcraft Club. To begin the term they were immediately on the job ad- vertising the Outpost. Many posters were also made for the Vigilanti and Alumni dances. -For the war effort they haveecontributed-signs for the rationing of fuel oil and for the scrap metal drive. They made posters for the Sen- ior Play, and the success of the Fall Concert was partly due to the fact that about thirty or forty posters were done by the club. They also helped advertise the senior annual. OFFICERS OF THE SENIOR FORUM RE- port that the club has been inactive this term. ACTIVITIES OF THE BLUE AND WHITE chapters of the Girl Reserves have been com- bined this term. Tags worn by everyone who contributed to the scrap pile were given out by the girls. They broke their own record by selling 135 dollars of Christmas seals. A sal- vage booth next to the telephones in the new building is a club project and the Girl Re- serves are scheduling girls to be on duty t ere. - .tx llylflf' A W! Blinn, George-Ann Feldtmose.

X 40 fJ4r,f4' 'CLA ,fxff V' f' .ga OUTSTANDING NESCOR PROJECT OF THE YEAR was the purchase of an ultra-violet ray light which will be used to give demonstrations of black light. The members of the club refill the bottles in the labo- ratories for the students' use. Firewatchers during air raid drills are assigned their posts by thewclub., Abplll ten of the memlgrs COMBINING WAR WORK AND SPANISH, THE Spanish Club has heard a talk on Cuba by Miss Leith and a talk on the Red Cross blood bank by Arthur Flaherty, a senior who has himself donated blood three times. Taking, care of the two chgglgzrooms and the re- do this work, and a few students who do not belong, watch during air raid drills in the latter part of the day when the upperclassmen have finished school. BECAUSE OF THE GREAT NUMBER OF OPPOR- tunities to work, many Commercial club members have been employed after school and have not been able to keep up the club's usual activity. Working or not, they still managed to bake cookies for the U.S.O., serve tea at the first teachers, meeting, knit for the Red Cross, and even fill a Christmas basket for some needy family. Keeping up club tradition, their semi-annual award was made to the most out- standing commercial student. SINCE FINISHING THE KNITTED ARTICLES THEY made for refugee children, the Red Cross Knitters have turned out dozens of sweaters for soldiers, and are now working on a fresh allotment. Thirty of the girls in the club have earned Red Cross pins, awarded for fifty hours of knitting. Fifteen teachers who are contributing their efforts to this worthwhile activity are making gloves for servicemen. freshments was their part in making the first night dance a success, another activity was ushering for the Fall Concert. AFTER THE LAST PLEDGE WAS INITIATED, the Biology Club got busy decorating the library and the office for Christmas. They also prepared potted plants which they sold to teachers and students and donated the money thus earned to the Red Cross. Carrying out their purpose of beautifying the school grounds, Biology Club members are planning to plant seed- lings around Sawyer Field in the spring. MEMBERS OF THE LATIN CLUB HAVE BEEN working on comic scrap books for the servicemen. Their chosen project was done for patriotic reasons, but the cuttin' and pastin' was fun for all the mem- bers. Another accomplishment was the preparation of a Christmas basket, packed with vitamins and goodies. They've been busy lately planning a bang-up party-preferably one involving tobogganing.

Its members may be identified by the V pins they wear. They gave the first school dance of this term, the G6Skele- ton Skuflle, and have helped in the war effort. Members passed the canisters for the War Chest Drive and took turns selling War Bond Rally tickets at the Hi-Y desk. In Novem- ber Mrs. Hogate, from the American Women's Voluntary Service, spoke to the club about making bandages, and typ- ing for the Army and Navy. A committee of girls has been keeping a record of the names and addresses of Redford boys who are in service. FOUNDED TO PROMOTE GOOD MUSIC IN THE SCHOOL, Aeolian Club presents a medal to the most outstanding stu- dent in the music department each semester. Doing their part for the war effort, Aeolians made collections for the War Chest and sold tickets to the War Bond Rally. Aside from serious purpose, the club also manages to be very active in social events. Highlight of the year was its supervision of publicity and decoration for the first night dance at Redford. At the close of the term, Aeolians gave a luncheon farewell to their senior members. THROUGH THE MUSCLE AND INGENUITY OF THE combined Red and Gray chapters of the Hi-Y, the school scrap pile reached record-breaking proportions. Also, both clubs turned in to furnish and to sell the tickets for the Har- vest Hop, Redford's first evening dance. For members and their friends, Red and Gray chapters jointly staged three hayrides, and ever popular Date Night this semester featured an Army nurse as speaker. Dusting off the old tin-can trophy, the Reds and Grays went at their annual football classic. About five hundred yelling fans watched the Grays down the dismayed Reds, 18 to 0.
