RIVER ROUGE, MICHIGAN MISS BLANCI-IE WISE MR. MAC E. CARR MISS CAROLYN WISE O the Misses Blanche and Carolyn Wise, and to Mr. Mac E. Carr, our vocal and instrumental instructors, we, the Class of l939, dedicate our VIGILANT ANNUAL, with the sincere hope that such an interest in music as they have strived for may always be shown in our school. Our music division has three excellent teach- ers, the Misses Carolyn and Blanche Wise and Mr. Mac E. Carr. All three of these persons began their musical training early in life. Born in Frankton, Indiana, the Misses Wise were graduated from the Elwood high school with honors in music as Well as in their other studies. Miss Carolyn Wise then entered the University School of Music at Ann Arbor, Michigan, Where she studied violin and voice with noted teachers, as Well as taking the regu- lar course. She engaged in many extra-cur- ricular activities and was elected into the Delta Omicron Society and the National Honorary Music Sorority. Her sister, Miss Blanche Wise, entered the Indiana University Where she studied voice, piano and drama.ics. She was elected to the Phi Beta Kappa and was gradu- ated With high distinction. When the Misses Wise came to River Rouge to lend their talents to our high school, they organized, with the assistance of Mr. H. M. Rosa, the Senior Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs. Miss Carolyn Wise organized the String ln- strumental Group and the present string or- chestra. Miss Blanche Wise then began studying the 'cello with Mr. Hans Pick and Ruby Peinert at Ann Arbor and was special accompanist with the Detroit Oratorio Society. ln 1930, Miss Carolyn Wise was offered a scholarship to study voice with Homer Wiserman, which she accepted. She also accompanied the Detroit Oratorio Society by appearing as soprano soloist. True to the custom of artists, both are con- tinuing their musical education. For the past three summers they have studied voice and piano with Frank LaForge, internationally fa- mous teacher of New York City. Mr. Mac E. Carr, our instrumental director, was born in Dundee, Michigan. He was gradu- ated from grammar and high schools, Where he first began studying the clarinet, saxophone and the oboe. He then took college work at the University of Michigan where he started with an engineering course and finished with cg Bachelor's Degree in Musical Education. Coming to River Rouge in l929, he devel- oped a band of 16 pieces up to its present standard of 65 pieces, which he has maintained for the past seven years. ln l933, Mr. Carr received his Masters De- gree in Music from the University of Michigan and in l938 received a diploma in conducting from the Mozarteum Academy of Music in Salzburg, Austria. He is a charter xii:m'ne: cf the Eastern Michigan Band and Orchestra As- sociation, as well as the Michigan State Band and Orchestra Association. He has served as guest conductor with several groups, among them the Wyandotte Civic Band, the McMi- chael School Band and the All-State Band. While acting as student conductor for the Uni- versity of Michigan Band, he studied baritone and trombone with both Mr. Nicholas and Mr. Leonard Falcone. Mr. Carr and the Misses Wise have done such excellent work and maintained such high standards in our high school that we heartily indorse them as instructors second to none in the state of Michigan. THE THREE OF US SCHOOL DAZEH ONE MINUTE TO ONE MARCHING ALONG TOGETHER USMILESH LEAVE US NOT TO DEEP AND DARK DESPAIR Though our school life is carefree It's much more thorn CI Tough, For here is our Administration Which We proudly coll our STAFF W I U-U4 r,.. rlfm EV J ER Ja WH gfx arm, Q rmrriw JU L M www Iffr F I M LF' Fw H fr E3 If 'f 'f H ERNEST W. MILLS ROY W. HOWELL ARTHUR L. VALADE ALEXANDER Trustee Trustee President MCDONALD Superintendent MUSIC FOR CULTURAL HAPPINESS AND HUMAN UNDERSTANDING Who carry music in their heart Through dusty lane and wrangling mart, Playing their daily tasks with busier feet, Because their secret souls a holier strain repeat. The Board of Education, the teaching staff and the administration believe most thorough- ly in music and therefore give it prime con- sideration from the kindergarten through the high school. There are several reasons for that indorsement. Cultural Happiness Music being the art of tones in harmony and creating melody thereby stands in contrast with noise. Time is the essence of music and is free from the three dimensions of space. This fact accounts for the unhampered character of freedom in music and therefore for its high ideality as an arty both to the producer and to the audience. The content of music then is man's innermost emotional nature. The emo- tions of man in the presence of the experience of life finds expression in music. With its un- utterable and indefinable message from the soul of one to the other music summons us away from the hard world of reality to the un- known, invisible and perfect world of ideals, where things are as we want them to be. This ecstacy of feeling produces happiness and thereby serves as a profitable consumer of leisure time as well as to wash away from the soul the accumulated dust of everyday life. CARL J. THRUN DANIEL GONIEA ALBERT R. HEUER CHARLES W. Trustee Treasurer Trustee SCHULTZ Secretary SUPERINTENDENT ALEXANDER MCDONALD Music as a Character Builder Serving as it does in the capacity of produc- ing happiness and contributing the element of harmony between work and leisure, to music must also be credited the building of character. Since music is an expression of the soul in its attempt to attain the true, the beautiful and the perfect, one who is a lover of music is not one to enjoy discordant notes in conduct or the commission of Wrong-doing, so We often say that where spontaneous music is there is no mischief. Citizenship The basis of good citizenship is character. Anything that gives joy to life as does music contributes stability and therefore reliability. These are essential factors of good citizenship. Music Not cz Luxury Because of the high estimate we hold for music, we cannot therefore call it a luxury. We must establish instrumental or vocal music in the life of the young people as a habit, and conclude by adding that music at best ex- presses that which cannot be said adequately in words but about which it is impossible to remain silent. -A. McDonald. PRINCIPAL HARVEY M. ROSA PRINCIPAL ACCLAIMS PROGRESS IN MUSIC It we are going to interpret public educa- tion in the strict sense as education tor the public, states Mr. Harvey M. Rosa, our princi- pal, there is no reason why the student with unusual ability in music should not have the same opportunities as the student who is in- terested in mathematics or language. Mr. Rosa believes this is a musical age. Having little or no opportunity for training in his earlier years, he is putting forth his best efforts to give students interested in music a chance to develop their talents. It has been the purpose of the administration, together with the cooperation of the Board ot Education, to develop the musical department in our school second to none in the state of Michigan, and to see that every student is given an oppor- tunity to reach his mature years with an un- derstanding and appreciation of good music. Mr. Rosa believes it is the duty of the young- er people with their numerous opportunities lor learning and developing their natural apti- tudes to help educate this generation in the light of what is expected in 1940. However, Mr. Rosa concludes, it should not be misinterpreted that it is the purpose ot the public school to train students to seek their living through music, lout rather, first, to help them discover any special musical talent they might possessg second, to develop an apprecia- tion for this talent, and third, to point a way for them toward attaining ta higher degree of efficiency in music than the high school is able to offer. lHElIllY I.

He is interested at the present time in the reorganization of Social Studies courses and in securing more effective participation in school control by student organizations. Mr. Tracy F. Denninger was busy directing the Pathfinder Club, while Miss Myrtle I. Haynes attended Wayne University, where she received her Masters Degree and she also attended the P. E. A. meeting at Wind- sor. Mr. john R. Osborn was elected to the presidency of the Detroit Albion College Alumni Club. Mr. Iohn McNamara attended all conven- tions relating to his work. Beware, students! lf you are wise, you will be a perfect lady or gentleman while you are in school, for Mr. Paul A. Randall has helped to start a new project in the form of a Traffic Court. He attended the 75th Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, and while there, he saw Presi- dent Roosevelt dedicate the eternal flame monument. Miss Eugenia Kosinska's time was well spent in preparing her junior high school pupils for their more hectic days in senior high school, while Mr. Warren H. Webb was kept very busy acting in his capacity as Faculty Advisor for the Alumni Association, as Sponsor of the Chess and Checker Club, and as Sponsor of the Foreign Relations Forum. ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT Directed by Coach Frank Weeber, the athletic department of our school has played a worthy and admirable part in making our students better fitted physically and in creating in them a zest for sport and an unerring desire for fair play. Coach Weeber so skillfully coached our sports events that our football team came through with flying colors and our basketball team won the Regional trophy by virtue of an undefeated season, broken only by one defeat. The girls' sports were under the direction of Miss Doris Butler and Miss Marion Youngquist. They capably managed the tennis, baseball and basketball tournaments. Miss Youngquist gave much of her time to the development of bowling for girls and succeeded quite well. She sponsors a group of about fifty girls in bowling and also sponsors a group of girls interested in life savingg while Miss Butler is sponsor of the Girls' R Club and this year helped Miss Shellenberger in producing the Ses- quicentennial Pageant. Miss Butler directed all the dances performed by the students. Other members of the department are: Mr. Iames McDonald, Assistant Director of Physical Education, Mr. Raymond H. LaFrey, Mr. George E. Cooper, Mr. Benjamin Goodell and Mr. Iohn R, Osborn. 13 COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT In Room 226, the den of the office practice stu- dents, it is not at all strange to see any one of our commercial teachers lending a helping hand to a bewildered student. It may be Miss Bishop or Miss Iibson setting a student right on a puzzling bit of shorthand, or Miss Baskouta employing the use of a deft finger to making that something wrong with this typewriter right, and we do mean write. Then, it may be Mr. Shawley giving the stu- dent the why's and how's of the ditto machine, or Mr. McGregor teaching a student the fine points of drawing on a mimeoscope. In spite of his busy schedule as head of the de- partment, Mr.Iesse McGregor has found the time and energy to engage in many activities. Throughout the past year he has served as officer in the fol- lowing' organizations. He is the Down-River repre- sentative of the Michigan Commercial Education Association, Vice-President of the Detroit Commer- cial Teachers' Association. He is also the chair- man of the down-river section of the Michigan School-Masters' Club. Besides engaging in all these activities, Mr. McGregor this year earned his Mas- ters Degree in Education at Wayne University. MARY BASKOUTA MARION JIBSON During the past year, Miss Mary Baskouta has Commercial Commercial don? Vofk G' Wqline Umverslty' She also amended BENJAMIN E. GOODELL IRENE B. CAMPBELL MAC E. CARR exhibits in St. Louis last November and successfully . . . Mathematics English Instrumental Music passed the New York City's Teaching Examinations in Gregg stenography and typewriting. Miss Helen Bishop, who has been very busy per- forming the many duties of a Senior Sponsor, is working to secure her Masters Degree and last . ...nag summer attended the University of Colorado. Miss Marion Iibson, also a shorthand teacher, attended Michigan State College last summer. Mr. George Shawley has organized a Garden Club for beauty-loving students who visited the Annual Flower Show in Detroit. tended the Commercial Teachers' Convention. He also at- FOREIGN LANGUAGE DIVISION Miss Cleo Shellenberger, Dean of Girls, and teacher of that language called Latin, which, although often referred to as dead , often comes in very useful to students, is also sponsor of the Girl Reserves and the Safety and Service Squads and this year served as Chairman of the Sesquicentennial Committee. Mr. Raymond H. LaFrey is the apt teacher of French Oui, oui's . He is also coach of our tennis team, and sponsor of the Fencing Club, be- sides being co-sponsor of the Iunior Class. l 1 HOME ECONOMICS DIVISION The delicious cooking odors which so often watt up onto the second floor lusually just before we go home for lunchl are the result of the untiring labors of Miss Anna D. Stinson who teaches home economics, and her classes. Miss Stinson directed the serving of refreshments at the Music Program in February, attended the National Progressive Edu- cation Meeting in Detroit, and also the International Progressive Educa- tion Meeting in Windsor this year. Miss Virginia D. Dean, sewing instructor, reports that she has spent most of her time in endeavoring to teach her young pupils to sew, and anyone who has seen the gaily colored blouses and dresses displayed in Room 104, will agree with us that she has done a good job of it. 14 ANNE PARKS EDITH RANDALL English Mathematics JAMES McDONALD JESSE MCGREGOR Mathematics Head, Commercial JOHN McNAMARA Social Science JOHN R. OSBORN Social Science MUSIC DEPARTMENT When we hear the band boys practicing during special hour, each one, it seems, on just a snatch of melody, it is almost inconceivable to us that they combine to make as lovely a rendition as that we heard of Deep Purple on the night of the Senior play, and when we hear the Glee Clubs practicing their scales, they seem to have no relation to the harmo- nious voices heard at the Spring Concert. All this does not come about in the twinkling of an eye, however. Mr. Mac E. Carr and the Misses Blanche and Carolyn Wise spent many hours with their pupils in an effort to keep up the fine reputation they have helped our musi- cal organization to gain. Members of the band took several high rat- ings in the All-State Band and Orchestra Con- test, and Mr. Carr reports that the clarinet sec- tion this year was exceptionally fine, taking top honors in State and National contests. The Misses Blanche and Carolyn Wise are still taking further training in their musical edu- cation. For the past three summers they have been studying in New York with Frank LaForge, a famous voice teacher. l..ast year Mr. Carr travelled to Germany and Austria, and in Salzburg, Austria, he received a diploma in conducting from the Mozarteum Academy of Music. Having chosen music as the theme of our book this year, we felt that the music depart- ment of our school so exemplified music in its best form that they were worthy of the dedi- cation. SCIENCE DEPARTMENT Anyone glancing into Boom ll8, otherwise known as Chemistry Lab , can see students rapidly scribbling down notes while watching others conducting experiments which appear very puzzling to anyone who is not a student of science or chemistry. But not so to these chemistry students and their teacher, Mr. lohn H. Strandberg, Head of the Science Depart- ment, who is very active in school affairs, being Faculty Activities Manager, a member of the Board of Directors of the M. E. A., an ex-officio member of the Representative Assembly and a member of the Program-Planning Committee. Miss Margaret Daly, who is usually busy in- structing students of science how far away the moon is from the earth, and what the positions of certain stars and planets are, took time out to attend the M. E. A. Convention in Detroit and to attend the University of Colorado last summer. Mr. Ioseph M. Stollmeister, biology teacher, added to his knowledge by attending the Uni- versity of Michigan last summer and he will attend the University of Michigan Biological Station during the coming summer. Mr. Richard Thompson, who teaches geogra- phy students important facts about our coun- try and about other countries, attended the University of Michigan during the summer, where he is working on his degree, while Mr. Daniel I. Webb attended all of the regular con- ventions relating to his work. Under the extremely capable guidance of these teachers, we are certain that all science students will understand all about the common chemical elements, what H20 is, and many other interesting scientific facts.

WEBB Science Fine Arts English, Head Science Social Science MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT ENGLISH DEPARTMENT The Mathematics Department is always do- ing its best to give our students good heads for figures. The department is headed by Miss Helen Wheater, who is a co-sponsor of the Sophomore Class and is in charge of Mental Testing and the management of the River Rouge Teachers' Credit Union. Miss Edna Youngs, also of the mathematics department, attended a P. E. A. meeting in February and also participated in other facul- ty activities. Another member of our mathe- matics department is Miss Edith Randall, who teaches junior high school students that figures don't lie, and last summer attended Wayne University. The past year also brought to our school another mathematics teacher, Miss Mary johnson, who is a graduate of the Uni- versity of Michigan. Mr. james McDonald, who minds his p's and q's, is also Assistant Athletic Director and ably coaches the track and reserve football teams, as their fine records show. Mr. Benjamin E. Goodell is another mathematics teacher who is interested in athletics. He is coach of both swimming teams, and is Chairman of the ln- terscholastic Swimming Association, as well as being a co-sponsor ot the National Honor So- ciety. Mr. George E. Cooper has been doing tine work with the teams he coaches, but even though he has spent much time instructing basketball and baseball aspirants in the finer points of the game, Mr. Cooper has published a book called The Road to Health , and worked on a group plan ol teaching. With these fine teachers, we feel that the teaching of mathematics is in good hands. 16 Miss Rosalie Ullman, who capably heads our English department is ever busy and experi- menting with new methods ot teaching. Throughout the past year, Miss Ullman has sponsored several peace contests. Among them were How Best to Keep America Out of War . She had some very fine essays. Mr. C. E. Horton of the English department is a versatile man. Besides his English work, he teaches dramatics and directs the school plays. He is sponsor of the Thespian and the Hi-Y Clubs. Miss Eunice M. Brake, like Miss Ullman, di- rects contests on essays, and she also attended the National English Teachers' Convention. Miss Brake is also co-sponsor of the Iunior Class. Mr. Roger Hannon teaches journalism, as well as English. Throughout the past year he has sponsored three contests of the Quill and Scroll Society and a contest for short Christmas stories. Miss Anne Parks, another member of our English department, attended the University of Montana last summer. She is also a co- sponsor of the Freshman Class. Miss Irene Campbell, also of the English de- partment, although engaging in no special ac- tivities, had a very full year, while Miss Edna Fox, besides her English work, sponsored the Young Writers' Club and is extremely proud of her promising young authors. We know that these teachers are able guards of the King's English. INDUSTRIAL ARTS DEPARTMENT No matter how much the boys who are students in the Print-shop, Wood-shop, Machine-shop, or those who are students of Mechanical Drawing may grumble when it is a nice, warm spring day and they are sweltering in the heat of one of the various shops , they realize that they are very fortunate to receive such valuable training in high school. We regret to say that Mr. Owen Evans, head ot the department that administers this training, was absent for part of the second semester because of serious ill- ness, but he is back with us now, attending to his duties as Co-sponsor of the Senior Class. He also earned his Masters Degree at the University of Minne- sota last summer. Mr. Roger H. Carrington, Printing Instructor, who is Faculty Advisor for the Vigilant Annual, attended the National Scholastic Press Association at Indianapolis in November. Mr. Carrington also sponsors the Ma- roon Printers' Club and acts as Business Advisor for the Rouge Recorder and as R. S. A. Board representa- tive. He also completed his Masters Degree work at Wayne University. Mr. Harold T. Klaiss, one of our newer teachers, con- ducted work in leather and welding in his classes, while Mr. D. Vernon Feasel, Wood-shop Instructor, at- tended the Michigan Educational Society Convention. Mr. Leonard Westerdale continued as sponsor of the Maroon Falcons , and is the Mechanical Drawing In- structor. - ART DIVISION The beautiful paintings and drawings to be seen on the boards in Room 312 are the works of some of our more talented students, and have been created under the efficient supervision of Miss Antoinette Turney, Art Instructor, who reports that she has had some excellent work exhibited. SPEECH DIVISION Mr. Harold A. Dressel, speech teacher and Debate Coach, directed a speech experiment here two years ago which has received nation-wide attention, and an account has been published in the Quarterly Iour- nal of Speech, under the title, An Answer to the Ad- ministrator . This experiment proved the value of speech courses for training in English skills. Even though he was forced to spend much of his time with his fine debating team, Mr. Harold Dressel found time, also, to take graduate work in speech at the Univer- sity of Wisconsin, and to attend the National Speech Convention. Miss Lillian A. Tolhurst, also of the Speech division, during her first year of teaching here, was appointed State Chairman of the National Forensic League and has aided many students to become more efficient speakers through sponsoring the 'Rguers' Club. 1-1 SPECIAL AGENCIES Mr. David Lester, Director of Child Accounting and Placement, is ever busy curing students of spring fever and similar ailments. Mr. Lester is also active in the Community House projects. Miss Dorothy Niemann, School Secretary, besides continuing her secretarial training, attended the Con- vention of the National Association of School Secre- taries held at Cleveland, Ohio in February. Miss Iane Olive Hartsig, Head Librarian, in addition to fulfilling her numerous duties in the library, found time to attend educational conventions. She also helped Miss Iane Biddle, new librarian, to adjust her- self to our routine. Miss Biddle attended the Univer- sity of Michigan. Miss Louise Kitscher, School Nurse, attended quite a few meetings throughout the year, among them, the Convention of the Michigan Society for Crippled Chil- dren and the Annual Meeting of the Michigan State Nurses' Association. With these fine persons com- prising it, the special agency department surely ful- fills its purpose. PAUL RANDALL LILLIAN TOLHURST C. E. HORTON MARY JOHNSON D.

Their sponsors, 'Miss.Anne Parks and Mr. George Shawley, have their jlgdndsgrfull, , though Mr. Shawley claims they are the best bumf- in the school . The first social event on the Freshman calendar was a private party on March 10. Iudging from the noise which came from the gymnasium, every single mem- ber of the class had a grand and glorious time. They 942 sold candy to make money to pay their Freshman dues. Their next event was the Professor Quiz Pro- gram, at which Tracy Bud Denninger, Ir. had the honors. The Freshman Class officers for the year were: Doro- thy Mcl-laney, President, Robert Heller, Vice-president, Arlene Vallade, Secretary, Tracy Denninger, Ir., Treas- urer. lqli SOPHOMORE CLASS 1941 Under the sponsorship of Miss Helen Wheater and Mr. Benjamin Goodell, the Sophomore Class is getting well under way. No more do they wear the typical green expression known to all Freshmen. They are becoming more like their admirable brothers and sis- ters, the Iuniors and Seniors. The Sophomores gave two dances this year. Both were huge successes. Leave it to the Sophomores to have a good time. They're good at swingin' it. Didn't Lee Wilson and Iames Honour interview that King of Swing, Benny Goodman? On May 12, the Sophomores entertained themselves -at a closed party. Everyone had just what he want- ed: an evening chuck full of fun. The Sophomores are stepping out in the sports di- vision, too-Thomas Coombs, Robert Gnam, Iack Kau- rin, Iames Honour, Lee Wilson, and many others. The Sophomore Class officers are: Robert Riley, Presidentg Delbert Salliotte, Vice-presidentg Mary Lee Wilson, Secretary: lohn Viger, Treasurer. -1 - IUNIOR CLASS - 1940 - The Iunior boys and girls were together this year in room 301. They are growing up to be quite re- sponsible persons. Much credit for this goes to Miss Eunice M. Brake and Mr. Raymond LaFrey. Mr. LaFrey is taking the place of Mr. George Robinson, who has left our school. This year two dances were given by the Iuniors. They also gave a mystery play called Cat O' Nine Tails . Among the less exciting but still important Iunior duties were: Taking charge of the book store, selling blue books and sponsoring an assembly. The really big event of the season is the Iunior Hop. Leading a close second was the selection of those sparkling class rings so dear to every Iunior's heart. The Iunior Class officers are: William Honour, Presi- dent, Betty Gertz, Vice-president, Marcella Phail, Sec- retaryg and Elsie Schwartz, Treasurer. - v- SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We, the Senior Class of '39, began our pleasant so- journ as a class in this River Rouge high school in the fall of '35. Mr. Owen Evans and Miss Helen Bishop were given the job of being our sponsors. We Freshmen chose our class colors-green and white: our motto- Aim to attain success . On March 20, we had a private get acquainted party. That first year, Willard Adams, Eileen Lockman and Lillian Blankenbaker were on the debate team. Our future athletes were beginning to show promise -such boys as: Arthur Greig, Lowell Moore, football, Archie Seivewright, I. T. White, Richard Lazar, Alvin Perry, basketballp Claude Randall, swimming, Alvin Perry, Richard Lazar, tennis. Our Freshman class officers were: Eileen Lockman, President, Lucille Coleman, Vice-presidentg Helen Ko- vacs, Secretaryp Arthur Greig, Treasurer. Our Sophomore year opened with a danc5a long awaited social event. Then came our picnic-a hap- py, rollicking affair. On the debate team we had Eileen Lockman, Ernest Pacheco and Willard Adams, with a prophecy of a rosy future. A good number of our boys were in the band, as well as in the orchestra. A few of our girls were also in the orchestra. As for sports, on varsity teams we had: William Trzcinski, football, Archie Seivewright, I. T. White, bas- ketball, I. T. White, baseballg Iohn Moehl, Oliver Wright, Lowell Healy, Howard Goniea, trackg Richard Lazar, tennis. Our Sophomore class officers were: Eileen Lockman, President, Arthur Kaminski, Vice-presidentp Arthur Greig, Secretaryg Mable Daly, Treasurer. In September of '37, a significant thing happened. We Iuniors moved into 301, that is, all of us who could squeeze in. The overflow resulted in two other homerooms-308 and 332. Our class officers that year were: Arthur Kaminski, Presidenty Ross Wilson, Vice-president, Viola Ferenczi, Secretaryg Arthur Greig, Treasurer. Of course we gave the usual dances and had grand times at them-but-we had far more important busi- ness. First of all we gave our Iunior Play, Your Money or Your Wife -an hilarious comedy about a wealthy pickle manufacturer and the marriage of his only daughter. Frances Pattenaude, Donald Cock, Walter Maga, and Helen Pilz had leading roles. We were proud to have one of the largest audiences ever attending a class play. Then we selected our class rings-an exciting event in any student's life. An occasion long to be remembered was the Iunior- Senior Prom. What a gala eventl Of course our de- baters were spoken of highly, as well as our members on the football, basketball, tennis, track and swim- ming teams. Then, before we knew it, we were Seniors. We moved into 3135 our overflow this time occupied 346. We promptly elected our officers: Arthur Kaminski, Presidentg Mable Daly, Vice-presidentg Madeline Ruch, Secretaryg Lillian Blankenbaker, Treasurer. Our first dance came on November 4. Then in quick succession came our trips on education week-elec- tion of the Annual Staff-candy sales-card sales- and Stunt Night. Truth on a Holiday was our Senior Play. It was a huge success and the setting was lovely. Our sin- cere thanks goes to Mr. C. E. Horton for his tireless efforts with both of our plays. The Band Concert came Ianuary IG. A good audi- ence turned out to enjoy the splendid music of the band. Seniors in the band were: William Keller, Oliver Wright, Ioseph Vargo, Lowell Healy, Claude Randall, Vernon Armstrong, Bruce Gabbitas, Charles Peters, Ross Wilson, Edward Green, Fletcher Shaw and Don- ald Cock. Then came the Orchestra Concert on April IZ. The orchestra will lose some valuable players: Isabel Ko- vacs, Elmer Singbiel, Anna Talos, David Copeland, and Marceil Daniel The debate team, of which the Senior members were Willard Adams, Lillian Blankenbaker, Ernest Pacheco and Helen Kovacs, has done an exceptionally fine piece of work. Our Glee Clubs made three appearances this year at the Christmas, the Easter and the Twin Valley Con- certs. Seniors who helped make these programs so enjoyable were: Gladys Alderman, Adeline Darin, Har- old Hellar, David Copeland, Elmer Singbiel, Fred Gil- bert, Iesse Petoskey, Harvey Venier, Vernon Arm- strong and Richard Ebendick. Of course our athletes did as fine in their sports, if not even better, than before. On Iune 9 we will be the guests of the Alumni. We are looking forward to that. Our Dinner Dance will be during the last week of school, according to what we hear, We can hardy wait for that event. That last week of school, with Baccalaureate serv- ices, Class Night, Dinner Dance and breath-taking- Commencementfg even the mention of it makes us sad, yet glad. We have reaped rich treasures, and have added unforgettable links to our chain of memo- ries. To our sponsors, Miss Helen Bishop and Mr. Owen Evans, We extend our heartfelt thanks for guiding us past the many pitfalls every class encounters. River Rouge high school, we salute you! To you we owe an unpayable debt for the knowledge we have gained within your doors, MISS HELEN BISHOP HELEN BISHOP, CO-SPONSOR Miss Helen Bishop, co-sponsor of the Senior class, was born on a small farm in central Michigan, She obtained her grade school education in a country school located in Clinton County.

CARR, Director BAND COMPLETES BUSY YEAR The actitvities, this year of the River Rouge High School Band began in the fall with their outstanding Work at the football games, Where, using a new and different set of formations at each game, the band made a fine display. The band travelled with the football team to Iackson and to Lansing, and also played at the home games. The football season was brought to a close by the formations at the Home- coming game. The former members of the band formed an alumni band, and with a short rehearsal before the game, they marched onto the field exe- cuting their formations very Well. The two bands combined to play Auld Lang Syne. As a climax, both bands made mass formations and concluded with all playing together in one large block The concerts for this year included the Annual Mid-Winter Concert on February 3, which featured the internationally famous euphonium soloist, Leonard B. Falcone. The band played at the Detroit News Studios on March 8. The band also participated in the State Band Festival in April and in the Annual May Festival at Ann Arbor. They will conclude the year's program by playing at the Commencement exercises in Iune. Armistice Day, Thanksgiving Day, the official opening of Wider Iefferson and Decoration Day, were commemorated by special parades in which the band took part. Individual members of the band reflected its glory by taking several top ratings in the All-State Band and Orchestra Contest, and Solo and Ensemble groups in both State and National Contests. There was an excep- tionally fine clarinet quartet developed this year, ranking top honors in the state and national contests. It is hoped that the band, under the extremely capable direction of Mr. Mac E. Carr, will continue to have many years as fortunate as this one has been.

Most of the players lost were re- placed by members from last years string class, but of course these were young inexperienced players. For that reason not much was heard from the or- chestra until its Annual Spring Concert, given in the auditorium on April 12 under the direction oi Miss Carolyn Wise. Those who heard the concert realized that the members had certainly been doing some intensive work during the year. According to Miss Wise, the orchestra had better precision, better tone quality, more dynamic color and more technique than it has had for some time. Six of the members played solos: Isabel Kovacs, june Eeatherston, Alex Banyacsky, and Marceil Daniel Cviolinistsl, David Copeland fcellistl and Doris Giebel Cpianistl. Elmer Singbiel and Alex Banyacsky played a very inspiring duet. Besides the regular orchestra, two smaller groups have been organized: the sixth hour Quintette, composed of june Eeatherston, Doris Giebel, Miss Wise, David Baker and Ralph Atkinson, and the Circle Ensemble, which in- cludes lsabel Kovacs, Lucille Gamble, Marceil Daniel, Ethel Tucker, Doris Giebel, june Eeatherston, Betty Sands, Shirley jenkins, Georgia jerabek, Nel- son Anderson, Alex Banyacsky, Willie Goodwin, and Elmer Singbiel. Both of these groups took part in the Spring Concert. The Circle Ensemble assisted the Glee Clubs in their Easter Concert. Since the concert the orchestra has played several times for assemblies and clubs.

A. stands for Rouge Student Association. lt is made up of a member from each class and five faculty representatives, two of whom are ex-officio, the secretary and treasurer. One of its more important duties is to set up a calendar of activities for the school year. Usually the board manages to have some sort of entertain- ment every Friday night. ln order not to have any confusion, a complete pro- gram is set up in May for the following year. This board has among its other duties the handling of athletic events. It helps in making out schedules, drawing up contracts, collecting gate receipts and awarding letters. Out of its funds all bills are paid. These include medi- cal care for athletes, payment of merchandise and other things pertaining to the school. Before any school function can be put on, the board must give its approval to the enterprise. On October 27 the Rouge Student Association sponsored an all-school Halloween Party which was well attended by the members of the student body. Another eventful happening of the year was the St. Patricks Day Party held on March l7 given by the board, The party consisted of dancing and a variety of entertaining games. The RSA. board obtained the services of the Detroit Federal Orchestra. MISS SHELLENBERGER SPONSORS GIRLS' LEAGUES At regular meetings once ct month the Girls' League, which is made up of Senior, Intermediate and Iunior Girls, have group discussions on etiquette and general conduct around the school. These meetings have been helpful to the girls as a group working for the benefit of the school and to the girls as in- dividuals. The girls pay monthly dues which are used for various things, such as: plaques presented to the school, trees and other shrubs for the grounds around the building and for medical needs of the girls. The meetings run in a smooth business-like order with Miss Cleo Shellen- berger, Sponsor, and elected officers presiding. After all business is taken care of, the group is entertained by dancing, singing, reading, skits, and other forms of amusement given entirely by the members of the league. Election of the officers is held in September and is entirely dependent on the girls. The voting is done by nomination of girls from each group and a final vote by a show of hands, Officers for this year are as follows: Senior High: Helen Pilz, President, Peggy Parks, Vice-president, Betty Kee- dy, Secretary, Dorothy lones, Treasurer. Intermediate: Lucille Waters, President, Dorothy Lazar, Secretary.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY AIDS SCHOOL PROIECTS To be elected: to the National Honor Society is to be chosen a member of the highest scholastic club in high schools all over the country, A good scho- lastic rating is the lirst step, lor you have to be in the top portion ot the class before you are even considered. Alter that, students are judged by the en- tire teaching staff' on character, leadership and service to the school. The gold pins: which are the emblem of the club have a torch on them which signifies perseverance in the pursuit of knowledge. This pin, which lets everyone know that you are a member ot the National Honor Society, represents a goal which all students hope to attain. It was not until two years ago that the National Honor Society became an active organiztation again. Under the sponsorship of Miss Mary Baskouta and Mr, Benjamin Goodell, this society became one of the most promising organizations in school. Richard Lazar was elected president, Verna McQueen, Vice-president, and Nada Pavlovich, Secretary-treasurer. The tirst group admitted to the society was elected during the spring ot their junior year and the second group was elected during their senior year. The members of the National Honor Society kept up their good work by helping out the school in various ways, such as taking care of the Easter seal sale, patroling the corridors during the music festival and assisting in the R. S. A. sales campaign. First Row: Verna McQueen, Vice-president, Loretta MacPherson, Miss Mary Bask- outa, Co-sponsor, Mr. Benjamin Goodell, Co-sponsor, Betty Gabbitas, Dorothy Greig.

L - RIVER ROUGE CHAPTER LARGEST IN NATIONAL FORENSIC LEAGUE The River Rouge Chapter of the National Forensic League has passed through another year maintaining its traditional policy of activity. The main requisite for entranr-D into this honorary organization is twenty points obtained from participaticr iii some particular phase of speech Work. The organization is particularly helpful to students engaged in speech work. It sponsors debate and speech tournaments. As one ot its social functions, the N. F. l... was the host at a tea given tor the members of the faculty. Mr. E. A. Mclfaul, ot Wayne University, gave a variety ot readings, which, the faculty members said, vvere the most inter- esting and pleasing they had ever heard. The River Rouge Chapter, under the expert guidance ol Mr. Harold A. Dressel, looks forward to another interesting year and to an increasing num- ber of N. F. Lfers. The otticers elected for the year were: Ernest Pacheco, President, lack Iacob- son, Vice-president, Willard Adams, Recording Secretary, and Elsie Schwartz, Treasurer. DEBATERS ENTER QUARTER-FINALS lndeed we have a right to be proud ot our debaters this yearl They have equalecl the best record ever made by a Bouge debate team. The debaters participated in a total ot 67 debates. Ot the scheduled debates, they won ten and lost tour. This year's very timely debate topic was: Resolved that the United States and Great Britain should establish an alliance. This year's debate team is also distinguished by the tact that more stu- dents received tirst team letters than ever before. The tour debaters who will be lost through graduation are: Willard Adams, perhaps the best all-round high school debater in the state, he is very thor- ough and is a very fine speaker, Ernest Pacheco, who possesses a very tine vocabulary and has the art of handling sarcasm with a disarming smile, Lillian Blankenbaker, who never makes the same mistake twice and who , .. ,. ..

Even with the loss ot these students with the 'twinning ways which the above debaters acquired under the expert direction ot Coach Harold A. Dres- sel, there still remains some very good material. lack Iacobson, who is per- haps the most lorcetul debater on the teamg Betty Bury, who has the most pleasing deliveryg Dorothy Lazar, who is the most thorough debater, Elsie Schwartz, who is the most dynamic, and Winilred Begole, who is the most accurate thinker will be the nucleus ot next year's team. So, even though the loss of the seniors will be telt, Mr. Dressel still has some very good material with which to work. River Bouge again looks tor- ward to another successful year. MISS TOLHURST REORGANIZES 'RGUERS' The 'Rguers' Club was reorganized this year under the direction of Miss Lillian Tolhurst. The Club was originated in 1927 for the purpose of inspiring students to take an active interest in speech work. With regular meetings every Tuesday night throughout the year, the mem- bers have been engaged in entertaining but constructive training in speech activities. For each meeting, a program was planned along the lines of par- liamentary drill. Topics were then brought up and discussed in the order of mock debates. With the reorganization of this group in the fall, an election was held and First Row: Donald Colosito, Sellwyn Biggs, Norma Granaas, Dorothy Maynard, Miss Lillian Tolhurst, Sponsor, Margaret Hensel, President, Mary Prokopchak, Harold Ar- noldi, Secretary, David Baker.

Meetings were held once a week during the first semester so that the mem- bers of the staff might discuss plans and create new ideas that would make this year's book outstanding. ln addition to these weekly meetings, a class which met two days a week was organized the second semester. Due to the hard work and loyal support from co-editors, Loretta MacPher- son and Verna McQueen, in handling the faculty section and the many other details which are part of an editor's job, the Vigilant Annual was expertly guided toward its publication. The senior editors, Madeline Ruch and Richard Ebendick quite aptly handled the graduating class. The different classes of our school were managed by the very able assistance of Eileen Lockman, Doro- thy Greig, Mable Anderson and Nelson Spiegel. Next we come to the club write-ups which were under the capable guidance of Violet Ieannette. The girls' sport section was in the capable hands of Mary Harrington and Eileen Lockman. Alvin Perry and Richard Lazar managed the boys' sport section and did an excellent job of it. Our two art editors, Adeline Darin and Steve Bicsak, skillfully prepared the drawings and posters necessary for our Annual. Lowell Healy and lunior Representative, Warren McKenzie, contributed the many interesting and clever pictures for our book. Last but not least, we wish to give liberal credit to the members of our Business Department which consisted of Donald Alderman, Business Manager, and to Lillian Blankenbaker, Teddy Mckuch and Raymond Ruzanski, Adver- tising Manager, through whose capable hands passed all the financing and publishing of our Vigilant Annual. We also wish to thank the Iunior Representatives, Ella Marie Wirth and William Honour, for their loyal support and helpful ideas which they so will- ingly offered. We also wish to thank Mr. Roger H. Carrington, sponsor, for his constant help and ideas, Mr. Roger V. Hannon and our sponsors, Miss Helen Bishop and Mr. Owen Evans, who helped make the book a success. ROUGE RECORDER STAI-'FS PREPARE SPECIAL EDITIONS The stalls of the Rouge Recorder, the bi-weekly school paper, are com- posed of a group ot members ot the journalism and advanced printing classes who have taken upon themselves the responsibility of publishing this paper. The setting of type and printing of the school paper is done entirely by the printing students under the direction ot Mr. Roger H. Carrington, while Mr. Roger V. Hannon takes charge of the journalism students to get the write-ups prepared for the paper. The Rouge Recorder consists of two important departments. The first de- partment, which is headed by three journalism students: Mary Harrington, Dorothy Greig and Donald Alderman, determines editorial policy. The second department is the business department, which was managed by Teddy Makuch, business manager, aided by Donald Alderman, assistant business manager, William Martz, Fred Gilbert, William Honour, Daniel Barron, adver- tising managers, and Bruno Morruzzi, circulation manager. This year the staffs attempted to improve the appearance of the paper by trying something new. They made an attempt of a tour color cut in the Christmas edition and a tour color cut in the Easter edition. Each of these editions received high praise and admiration from the student body and faculty. -- -I 1 -1 First Row-Dorothy Kuroly, Mary Harrington, Leona Burbank, Hazel Hugill, Eileen Lockman.

PRINTERS HAVE VARIED PROGRAM This year proved to be one of the most active ever had by the Maroon Printers' Club. Many social events of different kinds brightened the season. ln the fall, the club- printed a football program for the Homecoming game with Ferndale. During the year two new groups of members were taken into the club. The first group came in at Christmas time when the club held its annual Christmas Party. The other group entered in the spring when the club attended a theater party at the Fox. The most important social event of the year was the dance given by the club on Friday, lanuary 13. The dance was the first in the new year and proved to be very successful. The club renewed its membership in the National Student Graphic Arts Society and purchased national pins for all of its members. They then con- tinued, as in past year, to print programs for National Education Week. During Printing Education Week, lanuary 16-21, the club did many things to commemorate Benjamin Franklin's birthday. Some of the things done were: Print, and distribute bookmarks and blotters to all senior high students, and distribute books entitled Benjamin Franklin and How Books Are Made to all students taking printing. ln the spring the club held its annual outing at Huron River Park. This was the last social event for the senior members of the club and they all helped in arranging the events of the day, which included a baseball game between the seniors and the juniors, horse shoe pitching and other entertainment. 1:1- First Row-Raymond Ruzanski, Secretary, Ralph Zacharie, Donald Alderman, Presi- dent, William Martz, Vice-President, Harry Price, Steve Balaze, William Riddell, Alex Balogh, Iohn Zelasko.

It was organized in October of last year with 12 charter members and the following girls were elected as offi- cers: Barbara Belky, Presidentg Doris Denninger, Vice-President, Isabell Chiril- lo, Secretary, Peggy Parks, Treasurer, Patricia Laughrey, Corresponding Sec- retary. The purpose of the national organization is purely social but the stipula- tion is made that every branch club must have some definite purpose other than social activity. The club in our school has chosen correspondence. A list of names was received of students in other countries who wished to carry on correspondence with American students and it was made a rule of the club that the letters which the girls received were to be read aloud at the club meetings. The creed of the club is: Keep us from pettiness, let us be large in thought, in word, in deed. May we never be hasty in judgment and always be generous. Let us be done with fault-finding and leave off self-seeking. In March of this year the following girls were initiated into the club: Bette Kendall, Lenore Grevstad, Marjorie Trzcinski, Betty Ann Crinzi and Dorothy Everard. The club has had many social activities among which were a Christmas party and trips to WWI. Miss Mary Iohnson sponsors the club.

COLD TURKEY , PRESENTED BY AH-NA-HAN GROUP The Ah-Na-Han campfire girls, under the sponsorship of Miss Eugenia Kosinska, have been organized since 1934. Since then, the group has under- gone many changes. With old members dropping out, and new ones joining, the campfire girls have none ot their original members left. Among the social activities during the school year were a Christmas party held at the home of Marguerite Reidl, a George Washington Day party held in Room 201 in the River Rouge high school and a Thanksgiving program. For the Thanksgiving program the girls gave a play called Cold Turkey. The cast in the play was as follows: David Sterling, the father-Catherine Masely, Billy Sterling, the son-Norma Granaas, Martha Sterling, the mother-Mar- guerite Reidl, Betty, the daughter-Iane Emery, Iohnny Williams, a guests Eileen Underwood, Dorothy Anderson, a guest-Geneva Harris, Steve, the tramp-Helen Yushta, and Olga, the cook-Dorothy Mcl-laney. The play centered around a Thanksgiving dinner.

Sterling is called away. ln his absence, a tramp walks into the living room and helps himself to Mr. Sterling's coat. Dinner is again interrupted by a call from the hospital saying that Mr. Sterling has been injured in an accident and is not expected to live. Consternation and confusion follow. Everything is finally cleared up when Mrs. Sterling rushes to the hospital and discovers the dying man not to be Mr. Sterling but the tramp. Everyone returns home to dinner which Olga has kept warm, so no one has to eat Cold Turkey . Frances Smellie, Eileen Underwood, Betty Sands and Rita Buttson are new this year and have commenced working on their ranks.

Aunt Kaye Williams of the Detroit News staff directs the Work of all Young Writers' Clubs in the Metropolitan area. The River Rouge Young Writers' Club is under the sponsorship of Miss Edna Fox. The members of the club wrote stories and poems which were sent to the Detroit News to be judged. Each article submitted received a number of points. When fifty or more points are received, honorable mention cards are given to those individuals. During the first semester, honorable mention cards were awarded to the following: Corrine Brouch, 70 points, Mary Hruska, 75 points, Kathryn Rennie, 76 points, Mary Keen, 73 points, Norma Hawthorne, 85 points, Iris Schlief, 86 points, Ilene Wirth, 94 points, Bonnie Stanton, 99 points. To receive these cards, the girls had to submit either a poem or a story every week for the whole semester. Their work was above average. The following members had stories or poems printed in the Saturday edition of the Detroit News at least once: Norma Hawthorne, poem, Dorothy Garbula, poem, Mary Hruska, poem, Creda Lynn, story, Virginia Ryan, story, lris Schlief, story, Bonnie Stanton, poem, and Ilene Wirth, poem.

Among the social affairs of the club year were the annual Christmas party and the annual picnic which were enjoyed immensely by the members. MAROON FALCONS MAKE YOUNG AMERICA AIRPLANE CONSCIOUS The Maroon Falcon Club has grown steadily since 1933 when it was first begun. Although some members are always being lost by graduation, there are many younger boys, interested in the promotion of aviation, ready to take their places. Never before has aviation been so uppermost in the minds of the people of all nations. lf the future of this great means of transportation is to be as extensive as is possible for it to be, we must begin now to make young Ameri- ca airplane consciousf' That is just what organizations such as the Maroon Falcon Club is doing. The models which the boys build are not just ornaments. After they are finished, they are entered in contests sponsored by the Maroon Falcon Club to determine which plane will stay in the air the longest. Last October, a R. O. G. frise off groundl contest was held. lt was won by Charles Molisee. At the same time, he also flew his Curtiss Robin CCorrigan Special? plane. Several of the graduate members of the club have been experimenting with miniature gasoline engines for their model planes. Though the boys work hard, they manage to get in their share of fun, too. This year they are planning to have a big picnic at Walled Lake. -1 1- First Row-Richard Knisely, William Stanek, Martin LaChance, Assistant Com- manderg Mr. Leonard Westerdale, Sponsor, Robert Crump, Mike Stanek, Raymond Thurber, Robert Williams, Second Row-Andrew Coatley, Sergeant-at-Arms, Stanley Carevich, Floyd Agee, Charles Richards, Gerald Peevey, lack Viger, Robert Kaurin, Bernard Kessel, Nelson Anderson, Willard Hellmar.

PATHFINDERS TAKE INTERESTING TRIPS The Pathfinder Club was organized in 1933 to promote greater interest in current topics and to cultivate higher scholastic standings. The club is corn- posed of those students who are interested in the peace movement. ln past years the club has always donated educational pictures to the school. This year, however, the club presented a movie on The Life of Ben- jamin Franklin. The members also sold candy, the proceeds being used for a trip to Walled Lake. In their good work this year the club sent thirty books to the Coffeeville high school, which burned down destroying books in the school library. This year the club visited radio station WWI and also Borden's Creamery, from which they learned many interesting things. They also visited Greenfield Village. The club, a namesake of the Pathfinder Magazine, reads the magazine for a basis of their current topics discussions. The following students were admitted into the club bringing the member- ship up to thirty-four, Iohn Davidson, Edward Wryobeck, lames Lewis, Gladys Bauschenberger, and Merle Myron.

TRIPLE A CLUB VISITS FORD MOTOR COMPANY The Triple A Club has enjoyed a social get together at least every five weeks. The first party consisted of a basketball game after which the mem- bers served a luncheon. During the Christmas holidays the club members toured the River Rouge plant of the Ford Motor Car Company. The trip which followed a few weeks later was a visit to the Ford Rotunda. The club gave a movie which was enjoyed by all who saw it. Mr. Paul A. Randall, sponsor of the club also conducts a safety class which is held every day. The class is responsible for the picture frames which are on the top of the trophy case, also for the charts and map which are on the second floor. The class has now opened a safety court. Each student who breaks the rules of safety is taken to this court for trial. There are members of the safety class who also belong to the club. Members of this safety class work on their own accord, that is, they bring to class books, magazine, clippings and charts that are used by the students so that they may learn every phase of safety. - - First Row-Harvey Venier, Warren MacKenzie, Mr. Paul Randall, Sponsor, Arthur Kaminski, Presidentg Tracy Denninger, Ir.

SENIORS SPREE WITH TRUTH ON A HOLIDAY For two nights, March 9 and lU, laughter reigned in our high school audi- torium, when our senior Bernhardts and Barrymores brought to our stage that farcical, romantical' play, Truth On a Holiday. The play was superbly cast with each player giving his all to make it the huge success it was. Mr. C. E. Horton, who directed the play so well, deserves much praise for his time and efforts. The play centers around the Grant family, fairly normal people, except for 'he father who is a politically ambitious lawyer. f-lis daughter Alice starts most of the trouble and amusement by writing up her dad in a term paper as an example of a curious disease known as megalornania , which is really an over-dose of ego. Although her paper is entirely fictitious, her professor insists on visiting her home to study the victim . Seated: Faye Redmond, Mr, C. E.

The other characters weave in and out of the plot, with such parts as a fluttery wife, a puzzleemad maid, a French interior decorator with an accent as thick as the maids waistline, a political boss, and a newspaper reporter in love with the college-going daughter. Then there is the prominent club woman who seeks the governorship, and her business manager, Keith Grant, who is trying to make enough money to marry Louise Spencer, neighbor girl, who spends her time trying to teach tennis to Mimi, the younger daughter who is as beguiling as her name. Following last years example, the scenery was refreshing and lovely, due to the untiring efforts of Miss Antoinette Turney and her assistants. CAST Laura Grant-a bit fluttery ...,..

Why, the Thespians, of course, River Rouge high school's esteemed group of young actors and actresses, some of them cles- tined, perhaps, to become famous stage or screen stars. The aim of the Thespians, who have all appeared in one or more dramatic production, is to further the interest in dramatics shown in our school. They meet bi-monthly and have helped to produce several short plays, which were very much enjoyed by all those who were fortunate enough to see them. To prove their dramatic ability, several members of the Thespians partici- pated in the Annual Stunt Night and carried off third prize for their one-act play, Smoke Dreams , written by a member, Loretta MacPherson, and di- rected by Mr. C. E. Horton, dramatics instructor and sponsor of the organiza- tion. We sincerely hope that the Thespians Club will continue to be as an im- portant and worthwhile organization as it has been for the eleven years of its existence here. FENCING IS POPULAR SPORT FOR GIRLS AND BOYS lf, some day when you are in the vicinity ot the girls' gym, you hear the cry, Hen garden, you will know that the Fencers, who are under the guidance of Mr. Raymond l-l. l.aFrey, are practicing their thrusts, The Fencers this year boast some new equipment and they now wear pro- tective masks over their faces and are garbed in vests to protect them against the foils so ably wielded by their fellow opponents. The Fencing team exists tor those students who have an interest in sports ot this type and its members practice every Friday special period in the girls' gym. The Club is one of the few of its kind in this area and it is hoped that it will always enjoy the suc- cess it has known during the tour years of its existence under the leadership of Mr. LaFrey. Captain Willard Adams believes that with a little more practice the team will be in perfect form. First Row: Dorothy Mcl-laney, Mr. Raymond H, LaFrey, Sponsorg Dorothy Priester.

Among other things, the purpose ot the club is to promote a higher degree of triendship among the athletes. During the year the boys gathered on several occasions tor social meet- ings, one being a tobogganing party which was held at Cherry Hill in Dear- born. They also sponsored a public dance in addition to their annual private attair on May 27, which was one of the social highlights of the year. At this private affair, alumni members as well as active members were invited to attend. Some members were appointed to usher at the basketball games, swim- ming meets, the annual boxing tournament and at all of the other athletic contests, while others sold frost-bites in order to help build up the treasury.

CHEERLEADERS SPUR TEAMS TO VICTORY Yea, Teaml the cry of the cheerleaders, spurring our teams on to victory. The six dynamos, tive girls and one boy, traveled all over the state to the football games. Lansing, lackson and Wyandotte were among the places to which they traveled to lend their spirited support to our football squad. This year the team made up quite a few new yells which were favorably greeted by the student body. Donald Cock, though not being able to cheer at all football games, lent his support to the team during the basketball season. New to the team this year were: Maxine Buch, Isabel Castro and lulia Wellner. The co-captains were Shirley Seleske and Virginia Pilz. The team was ably coached by Mr. lohn Osborn, There were also a few other members of the squad who substituted at times for the veterans.

They played some of the best teams in the state. William Trzcinski was chosen captain for the year and proved to be an excellent leader. Lincoln Park was first on the schedule and they were easy prey for the local squad. The final score was l3-O with the Panthers on the long end of the score. The performance of the Panthers in the game against Lansing Eastern took a decided turn, Playing the Quakers in Lansing, Rouge was humbled 2Ue7 by a much heavier team. The outstanding features of the game were the punting of Miller, Lansing quarterback, and the running of Howard Val- lade, Rouge back, who late in the fourth period, ran 89 yards for the only Panther tally of the game. Combining fine passing and running, the Panthers downed a much up- roused Ecorse team on October 7 at the Red Raiders' field by the score of l9--2. The next game on the schedule was with lackson. Although they com- pletely outplayed the Vikings for three quarters, the Panthers had to be con- tent with a 6-6 tie when they were victims of lacksorfs last period surprise attack. Once again Coach Weeber's team showed their adeptness at outplaying a much heavier team than themselves when they defeated East Detroit high school, 6fU. Both teams were handicapped by a strong wind and it was not until the third quarter that River Rouge scored their only touchdown. Then on October 29 before a large homecoming crowd the Rouge boys romped through Ferndale by the score of 32-O. They scored 26 points in the third quarter and 6 more in the last period, turning what seemed to be a close game into a rout. With the Teddy Bear at stake, River Rouge defeated the Wyandotte Bears 12-U in their annual gridiron clash at Roosevelt Field, Wyandotte. This game was featured by the offensive ability of Alex Banoski, who scored both touch- downs, and the defensive playing of I. T. and Paul White. Flint Northern was the last team on the Panther schedule and the upstate squad kept their undefeated record intact by defeating the locals 20-6. Northern scored all of their points in the second period when the Rouge line seemed to bog down from the steady Flint attack. There were no really outstanding players on this year's team. The boys played a hard, -clean game and won the admiration of the fans. Alex Banoski was leading scorer of the team with 60 points. Other Pan- ther scorers for the year were: Lowell Moore, l2 points, Paul White, 10 pointsg Iack I-lorn, 6 points, Arthur Greig, 6 points, Howard Vallade, 6 points and Howard Zitnik, l point. River Rouge-scored 101 points to their opponents' 48. Some of the linemen who played good games all season were: Oscar Schonsheck, Paul White, Captain William Trzcinski, I. T. White, George Ma- nitz and Llewellyn Brown. I. T. White, fine Panther center, was mentioned on some of the all-state teams.

One of the most unusual incidents happened this season, when Coach McDonald, showing a player how to block, fell to the ground and hit his shoulder. The result was a broken collar bone which put him out of coach- ing for some time, The first victim of the Reserve squad was the Lincoln Park Reserve team which was beaten by the score of 26-O. ln the second game of the season, the Reserves met with the Ecorse Red Raiders. Although both teams showed much fight and determination, they failed to get their extra points and the game finished in a 6-6 tie. Mount Clemens proved to be the second victim of the Reserves when they were edged out by a one point lead. The final score was 13-l2. The Reserves did it again when they set back the Monroe Trojans by the score of SKU. So far the Reserve team boys had a perfect season with 3 wins, l tie and no losses. ln the last game of the season, the Reserves bowed to a much stronger team when Fordson beat them 1287. This is the first time in five years that the Rouge Reserves have lost a game.

The team didn't make a very impressive start but before the season was over, they had won five games and lost only two out of their seven encounters. The Cubs lost the first game to Harvey Lowrey by the score of 13-O. ln the next game they defeated Copernicus in a very closely fought game by the score of 7-6. Highland Park proved to be another victim for the inspired team as River Rouge won l9fU, Woodworth fought very hard for a victory but the Rouge eleven proved too much for them as the game ended with the score of 14-6 in Rouge's favor. The Cubs took the next encounter from Ecorse, which is one of River Rouges closest rivals, very easily by the score of 33-U. The fast stepping boys from Mt. Clemens spoiled our string of victories by defeating the Rouge 18--7. ln the final game of the season, Rouge defeated Northrup for the City Title and also the trophy donated by Coach Frank Weeber. This was the first time the Cubs played Northrup and it marked the beginning of an annual con- test whereby the winner receives a trophy to be held for the winning year. The Panther Cubs won 14-fU. This game ended a very successful season.

CROSS-COUNTRY TEAM TAKES T. V. A. A. CHAMPIONSHIP Under the coaching of Charles Iohnson, graduate of River Rouge high, the cross-country team proved to be one of the best ever turned out in our school. They captured the T.V.A.A. championship for the first time in l6 years. ln cross-country meets the score is taken and the team having the lowest score wins the meet. The team started the season off by meeting Ypsilanti on the away course, and the team lost by the score of 22 to 34. River Rouge proved to be in much better condition when they met Dearborn, defeating the opposing team by the score of 19 to 40. ln the third meet of the season, the team found it very easy to outrun Ecorse and defeat them by the score of l5 to 40. This time the team journeyed to Wayne where they found a cross-country team which was a little better than they and dropped the meet. The score was 26 to 29 in favor of Wayne. ln the last league meet of the season the cross-country boys proved to be in perfect shape when they outran the Plymouth boys. The score of this meet was 23 to 34 in favor of River Rouge. The outstanding runner of the year was Captain Roy Lewis. He took second place in both the Regional and State meets. Lewis broke two records, one at Dearborn and the other at Ypsilanti. His time was l0:27.5 at Dearborn and 10:48 at Ypsi. The only runner to defeat Roy was Graham of Ferndale who is the state champion. He is rated over Umstaddt of Northwestern high, Detroit. The system which the team used is the same as that used by Michigan State College which has won national championships for the past five years. The team's success was due to a strict, non-flexible training schedule, co- operation, competition and balanced tactics. Throughout the season the only instruction Coach Iohnson gave his team was, You can drop out any time you wish so long as you're out in front.

The basketball team also look the Twin Valley Championship by defeating all teams in the Twin Valley district. Over the whole season, the basketball team won 17 games and lost but one. They scored 563 points to their opponents' 293 points. River Rouge opened the season at Monroe on De- cember 13, winning by a score of 20-8. Following this victory Dearborn, Wayne and Ypsilanti were de- feated in quick succession. The next non-league game on the list was to be one of the best games of the season when River Rouge played Wyandotte. The Bears had hopes of winning this game but were badly defeated by the score of 26-6 by a much stronger team. The next league games followed in close succession with the River Rouge Panthers defeating Ecorse twice, Plymouth twice, Dearborn once more, Wayne and Ypsilanti very easily. On February 24 the Panthers traveled to Iackson to take part in one of the most exciting games ever to be played by the Rouge quintet. Although the Pan- thers were rated as under-dogs, with much fight and determination they defeated Iackson by the score of 25-20. In the Regional Tournament at Fordson, River Rouge defeated De LaSalle in the semi-finals by the score of 29-10. In the finals the Panthers proved to be the better team when they defeated Holy Redeemer by the score of 19-9. As a result of this game the team was rewarded a beautiful trophy and each boy received an individual medal. River Rouge then traveled to Ypsilanti to play in the State Finals. In the quarter-finals, River Rouge de- feated Ann Arbor by the score of 41-25. This placed the Panthers in the semi-finals where they met Muske- gon Heights. River Rouge suffered its first loss of the season at this time to a hot Muskegon team by the score of 32-20. The outstanding basketball players of the year were: Co-captain I. T. White who made 90 points and was the best center our high school has ever had, Co- captain Richard Lazar who made 118 points and due to graduation took over the center position of 1. T. White and did a very good job of it, Paul White who made 131 points, the highest scorer of the year and the best defensive player on the team. Paul White was chosen on the Free Press All-State basketball team. This is the first time in the history of our high school that any boy has been chosen on the All-State team. He was chosen for his shooting and passing ability and also for his good work in get- ting rebounds off the backboard. Paul is one of the best athletes ever to be turned out in our high school and should go far in the field of sports. Richard Lazar was given honorable mention on the All-State team.

Although they are not under any tension, the boys like to win which is evident by their impressive record. They opened the season by defeating Monroe, 24-20, and ran their vic- tories to nine straight, with two wins over Dearborn, one each over Wayne, Ypsilanti, Wyandotte, Ecorse, Lincoln Park and Plymouth, before they were upset when they played Wayne a second time. The Reserves started to slip after this game, winning only one game out of four. They defeated Ypsi 39-14 and then lost the three remaining games. During the course of the season the reserves had three different coaches which is a unique thing for any team to have. The leading scorers for the Reserves were Iames McKee, who was elevated to the Varsity squad in the middle of the season, and Leo Turner, 5 foot, 2 inch forward. 1 l First Row-Robert Reames, Leo Turner, Richard Schwartz, Stanley Brotherton, War- ren Ieannette, Bob Riley, luck Carroll, Rudy Martin.

The Panther Cubs got off on the right foot by defeating the Ecorse Red Raiders 21 to 11. In the second game of the season, a taller Copernicus five subdued a small but scrappy junior high team 28 to 17. Angered by this defeat, the cubs went on a scoring rampage to defeat Northrup by the count of 41 to 5. In a closely fought game the cubs bowed to Highland Park by the score of 23 to 19. The cubs then traveled to Mt. Clemens where they took a hard fought game by a close 22 to 2U score. Again the Panther Cubs met Coper- nicus and again they were defeated, because of the lack of height, 21 to 19, in a closely contested game. The junior cagers went on another scoring spree to defeat Harvey Lowrey 31 to 6. Apparently still on their winning streak, the Panther Cubs smothered Northrup, 62 to 28, to set a new junior high scoring record.

Monroe, Fordson and Ypsilanti Central were the only teams that succeed- ed in defeating the Panthers. ln the Fordson meet, Dan Simon set a new pool record in the l5U-yard individual medley relay. Coach Cfoodell's swimmers easily defeated the teams from Wyandotte, Trenton, University High of Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti Roosevelt, Grosse Pointe, Mount Clemens, Pontiac and Royal Oak. A new medley relay record was set by Robert Cosgrove, Howard Spiegel and Nick Rabchenia. This occurred twice this season. The tirst record was set in the Mount Clemens meet and the second was set in the Pontiac meet. Another record, although unotlicial, was set by Howard Spiegel in the lUO- yard breast stroke. lt was unotticial because the race was not staged in actual competition. The only members of the team to win places in the State Meet were Dan Simon, l5U-yard individual medley, and the medley relay team consisting ot Robert Cosgrove, Howard Spiegel and Blinn Rush. At a meeting held on March 20, Dan Simon was unanimously voted as the most valuable swimmer ot the season.

The Iunior tankers ended the season with a record of 6 defeats and no victories. A more experienced Highland Park team defeated them twice and the other two meets were dropped to Copernicus junior high and another two to Harvey Lowrey junior high. All these meets were lost because of our team having no divers. The outstanding swimmer on the team was Smith, a freshman, who was the captain. Despite their failures, Coach Cullen believes his boys will im- prove for the next season. Among the boys are: Captain Smith, who swims free style, Hamilton Steele, back stroke, Iames McKee, free style, Donald Bruno, breast stroke, Keith McClean, back stroke and free style, Donald Pollen, tree style, Donald Bernard, tree style, Clarence Malcolm, back stroke, Richard Lockman, free style, Iunior Nay, free style. -L 1 First Row-Iames Katterman, Manager, Donald Pollen, lack Bruno, Keith McClean, Kenneth Everard, Robert Cullen, Coach.

TRACK TEAM ATTENDS MANSFIELD RELAYS With a majority of lettermen returning and a few promising newcomers, the track team had a fairly successful season, They won all their indoor meets by large scores, virtually swamping their opponents. Numerous records were broken indoors: Co-captain, lohn Moehl, ran the 45-yard high hurdles in 6.1 seconds to break the old record held by Wellner 37 by .3 of a second. Ar- nold Kemp, also, broke the 45-yard dash record by setting the time down from 5.2 seconds to 5.1 seconds. l-le, also, tied the 220-yard dash record, which was held by Co-captain, Lowell Healy, running the furlong in 24.5 seconds. The track team sponsored the first lnvitational lndoor Track Meet held at Yost Field l-louse in Ann Arbor, on April l. This meet was captured by River Rouge. Other teams competing in the meet were Flint Central, Lansing East- ern, Algonac, Wyandotte, Dearborn and many others. Flint Central placed second to River Rouge. The outdoor season started with cold and rainy weather, but proved to be very successful. Ecorse was the first team to feel defeat this season by the Panthers. ln this meet, the Panthers practically swamped every event except the pole vault, due to a misunderstanding on the part of the pole-vaulters. The following week Otis Wade, high jumper, cleared the bar at 6' 2114 to esklbhsh a nevvlngh hinnnrecord. The team made a trip to Mansfield, Ohio, for the Mansfield Relays.

With a few weeks practice, the team had their first meet. From then on their season went according to schedule. Ned Compeau, a veteran of last year's team and Iohn Andrews also a veteran of last year's team, were chosen Co-captains by their team-mates. The Iunior High team is a means of training the younger boys who want to make the varsity in Senior High School. With expert coaching and valuable experience, they are made ready for the Varsity. They have dual meets and big invitational meets just as the Varsity does. Consequently the boys are able to accustom themselves to com- petition. This is an important factor in their build-up. Last year Coach Iohnson, had three boys place in the Iunior High State Meet: Nick Simbles, Iohn Andrews and Iames Fekete, who is now on the Var- sity.

Richard Lazar, who Won the Regional Singles Championship, also went far in the State tournament last year. He was runner-up in the State during the 1938 season and he hopes to take over the championship crown this year. Richard Lazar will undoubtedly hold down the first singles position While captain Alvin Perry will play the second singles position. Richard Ebendick and Warren Ieannette will hold down the first doubles position. Other po- sitions on the team are taken by those boys who defeat all other Challengers for that position. The Rouge netmen got off on the wrong foot when they were defeated by Dearborn in the first match of the season with the score being 2-3. The only winners in this match were Richard Lazar, who won the first singles match 6-4, 6-3, and captain Alvin Perry, who won the second singles match 6-2, 6-O. -1111 First Row: Warren Ieannette, Bob Riley, Mr, Raymond H.

HOLD TIGHTV' GIRLS HAVE ACTIVE SPORTS YEAR Through the many hard hours of work and the co-operation of Miss Doris Butler and Miss Marion Youngquist, the girls of our school have again proved that they are outstanding in girls' recreation. The sport that seemed to hold the interest of the girls from the beginning of the first tournament right through to the championship game proved to be basketball. Two tournaments were played this year, the first ending Febru- ary 23, with the IOB girls carrying off top honors. The second tournament, ending April 4, was won by the IUA girls. These teams then played against each other, and through the high scoring of Mary Prokopchak, who made 24 of her tearn's 32 points, the lUB girls were defeated 32-13. The girls who played on the Winning team Werei Donna Butler, Veronica Hamel, Marguerite Zambeck, Gladys Standen, Geraldine Kisella, Wilma Coffee, Geraldine Philip- HIAM SESSION THE OLE SWIMMING HOLE part, Mary Prokopchak, and Marion Orgeclc. These games were played after school and refereed by those girls who wished to earn points toward their 'Rs Following the basketball tournament, the girls started playing baseball. Each game was played after school, and again the winner was determined by a round-robin tournament. The IGB girls took first place and the llth grade girls finished in second place. Some girls who are outstanding as base- ball players are: Marion Orgeck, Margerie Loughridge, Helen Lorenz, Ger- aldine Philippart, Cora White, Pearl Stevenson, Betty Keedy, Marcella Phail, Betty Gertz, Elorence Taylor, Edna lones and Louise Sadler. As in previous years, dancing has again been very popular with the girls, With the advent of jitterbuggin ', many of the girls could be seen truckin' on down any dancing day. Besides this form of tripping the light fantastic, the girls studied social, modern and folk dancing. Some of the girls who have become quite accomplished dancers are: Dorothy Iones, Geraldine Har- rington, Lillian Cobb and Virginia Nelson. YOU'RE A NATURAL SHOOTING HIGH SHE FLGATS THRU THE AIR THEY'RE PLAYING- TEN PINS Bowling proved to be the sport ot the year. It was introduced in l938 and since then the number has been almost doubled. The girls were bowling one night a week, but as the demand increased it became necessary to hold bowls ing two nights a week. Some of the highest scores were turned in by Ellen Adaline, lean Carrington and Mary Rosza. Other forms ot competitive sports were volley ball, lcickball, paddle tennis and regular tennis. The regular tennis tournament was won by Sophie Lo- rence and Agnes Kramer was runner up. Each year, as the groups grow larger, the competition becomes keener, and the interest grows larger, thus, the introduction ot many new sports. This year the teachers and the girls are to be congratulated on the tireless effort and the list ol accomplishments they have achieved. YOU'RE THE TOPS First Bow.
