Warren Webb Head of the Social Studies Department In recognition of his thirty-five years of faithful service at River Rouge High School, where he has been a teacher of Social Studies and the sponsor of six classes, we, the classes of 1955, dedicate this Vigilant. Mr. Webb has earned the respect of the students, the friendship of the faculty, and the appreciation of the community. 53' h Table of Contents Annual Staff Pages 4- 5 Administration and Faculty Pages 7-16 Seniors Pages 17-36 Undergraduates ' Pages 37-52 Departments Pages 53-66 Organizations Pages 67-84 Athletics Pages 85-99 Advertisements Pages 99-120 Through the doors of River Rouge High School come the young people of the community. The school offers them the cultural heritage of Ameri- ca, the vocational opportunities of our land, and the foundation for a life of individual satisfaction and social betterment. As the doors swing out, the young people leave, some as graduates, some still as undergraduates. But each has had his chance at fulfillment. ,nf 3 ,nl W lib Q 441 Lt, I .

Y MA - The Vigilcm Making up the list of graduates not easy! .- taff The Vigilant Staff of 1955 has worked hard and long to make this year's Annual a book that portrays, in words and in pictures, the spirit of our high school. The members of the staff sold the space for advertisements, took the informal pictures, wrote the stories, created the original art work, designed the layouts of the pages. They coaxed and coerced their fellow classmates and the faculty into having their pictures taken and returning their proofs. When the Annual was sent to press, they sighed in relief -- but then came proofreading, collecting for the advertising, and, at last, distributing the book to the ticket holders. lt was fun. They enjoyed the work. They hope the students of River Rouge High enjoy the Vigilant of 1955. FUTURE REMBRANDTS - or Disney's helpers?

Nearly one third of all the students in River Rouge High School are enrolled in courses offered by this department. Classes offered include those in Junior and Senior High Art, Orchestra, a string class, Junior and Senior Glee Club, a Senior High Band, a second band of seventh grade alone, as well as sections of seventh grade vocal music. Students from this department have distinguished themselves with awards year after year. This year we had several winners in the Walker Advertising Contest for art students. One of the drawings of the department has been chosen for exhibition by the National Scholastic Magazine. Students from the Instrumental group yearly place high in district and state competition in solos and ensembles.

Vocational The way to a man's heart is through his stomach -- as the girls learn early A girl can dress like a fashion plate if she makes her own clothes Education Vocational Education, Industrial Arts, and Home- making offerings in the River Rouge public schools have been improved and extended during 1954-55. Plans for the future are indicative of steady growth and expansion. These gains, past, present, and con- templated, have been made possible through the cooperation of the Michigan State Board of Control for Vocational Education, River Rouge Board of Education, Advisory Planning Committee, teachers, representatives from industry and other community agencies in the River Rouge Area. Today, the agrarian society, with its new land frontiers and its attending economy, has been trans- formed into an industrial society with complex econo- mic problems involving more than 30,000 different jobs by which Americans make their living. Citizens who produce are those who pay taxes in substantial amounts, and a highly productive citizen is usually one who is loyal and happy. Higher math holds no terrors for Miss Wheater's pr oteges Mathematics acquaints people with everyday life, therefore, it is very important. Mathe- matics teaches students to reason out problems and to know what is required. It also teaches them to make accurate judgments about their work and to check what they do. It is necessary to know mathematics in almost any profession, regardless of the type of work people do, whether you work as a sales clerk, in an office or in a factory. To have a major in mathematics, a student is required to have 3 years of mathematics, Algebra, Geometry, Solid Geometry, Trigono- metry, Advanced Algebra, and a Refresher Course in Mathematics.

Science Department I n Exploring the interior of the genus Rana The Science Department offers courses in General Science, Biology, Chemistry and Physics. General Science, required of all ninth grade students, provides a general scientific background by giving the student a bird's eye view into many fields of science. Biology, open to all interested tenth grade students, goes more deeply into animal and plant life with some emphasis upon the human body. Here the student acquires his first experience in laboratory techniques and procedures. The microscopic world opens before him and captures the enthusiasm of the scientific mind. Chemistry for the eleventh grade student strengthens this scientific interest with more involved and independent laboratory training. It is a study of the elements and compounds in the world about us and their complicated chemical behavior. The student studies the methods and procedures used in the manufacturing of many common compounds. In the twelfth grade, the student may elect Physics which offers him both class and laboratory work in a study of forces of nature such as electricity, heat, gravity. With such a scientific training and background the student is now ready for higher education in engineering, nursing, teaching, or for a life long interest in science and scientific research. Electricity can be shocking . 61 . Social Studies The early pioneers crossed the Continental Divide at this point. River Rouge High School offers much in the line of Social Studies. It teaches courses in history, government, and sociology on both the junior and senior high school level. Particular stress is laid on the study and appreciation of our heritage and of our American way of life. A study of current events also is an integral part of the class work, and every effort is made to prepare for an active participation in our complex social and political world. Indirectly, citizenship is one of the phases of social studies. Students learn how to become good citizens. They learn about our government and some students, more or less, are practicing government by belonging to the Student Council. la Commercial Department Forty words a minute? Dictaphone transcription Can you read this shorthand? -63 The Commercial Department of the River Rouge HighSchool offers courses in shorthand, typewriting, bookkeeping, office machines, commercial mathematics, and office practice. Through this de- partment, training is given to students which will qualify them for positions as secretaries, bookkeepers, and general clerical workers. If students take advantage of the training offered in the Commercial Department, they have a life's vocation which will pay high salaries, and lead to promotions and good positions. Boys and girls can receive valuable knowledge here at the River Rouge High School, if they will take advantage of the subjects offered. For students who plan to attend college, it is highly recommended that they take typewriting and, if possible, shorthand. There is a growing need for more boys to enroll in courses in the department. Knowledge of business courses offers a greater opportunity for promotions and serves asastepping stone to advancement for executive positions. Each year many of the boys and girls are employed by local business establishments, as well as many business organization and banks in the Down River Area. Library Since 1921, the River Rouge High School library has served both the city and the school. Because the city is planning to erect a new building now, many questions have arisen about what is going to happen to the High School library. As we know, every school is required to have a library, therefore the new library will belong to the city and the school library will be for the use of high school students only. The objectives of the school library are to participate effectively in the school program as it strives to meet the needs of pupils, teachers, parents and other community members, to provide boys and girls with library ma- terials and services most appropriate and most meaningful in their growth and development as individuals, and to stimulate ani guide pupils in all phases of their reading that they may find necessary enjoyment and satisfaction. A famous librarian, once said, If you want to be a librarian, don't come in here and tell me you like books, tell me you like people. To help people is the only real function of alibrarian. Books are but his tool to aid humanity. That is a good book which is opened with ex- pectation and closed with profit. Alcott.

A student may come to his counselor for information in educational oppor- tunities, and future plans. He may also seek help with personal problems. Teachers may obtain information about any studentls abilities and in- terests. A counselor is happy to serve the teachers in any way that is possible. Parents may want to find out more about their children's development so that they may understand the children better. Through this department, parents may learn these facts. The counselors would like to give students, teachers, and parents the service each desires.

As usual the girls sang for clubs, assemblies, etc. Their annual Spring Concert was given the evening of June 3. The songs for this performance were grouped in three parts: Songs of Spring, Songs from Light Opera and Miscellaneous Songs.

So many of the experienced players had graduated in the June class of 1954. Fourteen of the members for this year were new and had never played in an orchestra before. But what this year's personnel lacked in experience was made up in enthusiasm. The orchestra has had afine year. The members have entertained the Kiwanis Club, and the Rotary Club, played for assemblies, presented a short program in the hall at Christmas time and climaxed the year's activities with a most enjoyable concert in May. Several of the members appeared as soloists or took part in duets, trios, and the Special Ensemble during the year. Only four of the members graduate this year so everyone is looking forward to awonderful1955-56 year. . 76 -5 The Senior Debs . 4, ggi ai B dner Y Pattenaude B Sloan, A Bryant, L.

For the second consecutive year, the River Rouge Varsity Basketball Team has brought honor to our school by winning the State Class B trophy. This is the first time in thirteen years that a Class B school has had this honor for two consecutive years. Winning all these games was not just pure luck! Much time and work were put into each game by our coach and team. Some games were close while in others our team held a com- fortable lead. During the season of 22 games, the team lost to only one Class B school and four Class A schools. This, we believe, is the very splendid record. During the tournament, the team fought its way steadily up through district, regional, and semi-final games. Defeating Negaunee and Buchanan in Jenison Field House at East Lansing proved that our boys, with one regular member returned, could defend last year's championship. With brilliant strategy and superb teamwork, the players fulfilled the expectations of their able coach, Mr. Lofton Greene, and won great acclaim from the students of River Rouge High School and sport lovers throughout Michigan.

Cross Country Team This year's team was the first Cross Country team Rouge has had in about six years, but over this period of time Rouge has developed a team that was victorious in bringing home a State Championship. One of the hard meets was against Lincoln Park whom Rouge hadn't beaten in about seven years. Rouge came through by winning by only one point. The team didn't lose one meet throughout the season. We congratulate the boys on their out- standing victory! Szi.:.1.S2Lfux breather The last ones in! Block that shot! Baseball Team Girl O. Barnes, A. Bankhead, J. Gassaway, B. Wourman, S. Bankhead, S.

Football begins the season and baseball closes it. The two instructors of girls' sports are Miss Youngquist and Mrs. Greig. Miss Young- quist takes care of the Senior high while Mrs. Greig assumes responsibility of Junior high. Most of the activities or games take place after school and the girls who enter in these sports do it on their own time.
