U H W WMM :Ll-A V ' ,1 Qi ' Ee? A .ff I 'Lg' ,. B... I-'0WliRD . . . Vlnwat is school? We attend school for 'I80 days out of 365. But what is it rea y'? School is material obiects. It's rosy cheeks at 8:00 in the morning. A round, eye-catching clock undeserving of longing glances. Lockers filled to the brim. A school sweater proudly worn and proudly' defended. It's report cards, term papers, pencil sharpeners, basketballs, an books. A football fly- ing between the goal posts. A bell sounding the end of class. School is people. lt's a young leader, struggling to make himself known. A thirty-yard pass, and a new hero. The oung Brandos and Woodwards start- ing on the long road to success in the high school plays. A youthful mathe- matician, sharpening his wits with a physics assignment. The young scientist, experimenting with what he is sure will replace the H-Bomb. A oung lawyer- to-be, confident that he will acce t no case less than murder. The speculative future sychologist diagnosing a fellaow student's neurosis. School is learning. Knowledge, diffused from one mind to another over a period of years. An eager reply to a difficult question. Nouns, adiectives, and square roots. Striving to do good and receiving with blushing cheeks the praise of your favorite teacher. The Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock, Washington on the Delaware, Davy Crockett at the Alamo. School is the intangible. It's dreaming of the things to come, the life you are about to lead, and your place in the world. A piece of scratch paper, scribbled with the abstractions of thought. Spring fever in an English class. School spirit and the ioy of supporting your school with everything you have. It is our school. Yours to brag about, talk with your friends about, and tell your kids about. The old high school where you spent four years of your life, learning to live with the world. School is pencils, rulers, blackboards, and books. Work, education, fun, and still more books. School is something you'll always remember. But most of all it's youth. The ioys, sorrows, laughs, and tears, forming the drive and ambition of youth. These are the ingredients of tomorrow. Though they come from many different parts of the township, the students arriving at school morning have the ,same destination, learning. E...-.k , I ,,J,,7,, , 42, .41 7?ll.S' l.S' WHERE IL.

Patient and understanding as well as willing and capable, Mr. Walker tackles almost any iob and does it well. As advisor to the Student Council, he is both coun- selor and companion to members. Busy throughout the school day, nevertheless, Mr. Walker is seen at nearl every dance, game or other school Function. Our principal, Mr. McAdam, puts in many a busy day. A rare day it is w en he does not have conferences, meetings, and many calls upon his judgment. His phone rings constantly, his a - pointment book is filled to the minute. Yet he manages to keep in constant touch with the more than 600 students in our school. Despite these demands on his time and energy, he never loses interest in his students and teach- ers. Managing to save minutes here and there, he talks over problems and gives Friendl ad- vice. He is a true leadler of our school. The members of the Board of Education are left to right: Hazen Hay, trustee, Ar- thur Dittmar, treasurer, Dean Burcroff, trustee, Donald Bird, president, Herbert Shain, trustee, Carl Morris, trustee, and Katheryn Seestedt, secretary. MR. SIMMONS Superintendent of Schools Since a good school is a result of teamwork of the administration, the teachers and the students, then it is not surprising that our school is a good one. 4 . Romulus schools are quite fortunate in their ed- ucational leadership. Mr. Simmons, our superinten- dent, and all the members of the Board of Education are parents themselves. They have the interests of all children at heart and want to provide for us the best available in teachers, buildings, and equipment. They try to do all in their power to provide educa- tional opportunities for all of us so that athletic fa- cilities are matched by those for shop, journalism, speech, academic subiects, and a wide variety of ex- tra curricular activities. 4 MR. SCHANTZ Assistant Superintendent of Secondary Education MR. PREGITZER Assistant Superintendent of Elementary Education GUIDANCE SERVICES AIDW THE STUDENT A jack-of-all trades is our counselor, Mr. Baty. Whether your problem is a tight schedule or a fight with your steady, he is always willing to help. Scholarships, colleges, or a choice of vocation--all these things and more find Mr. Baty ready with a huge assortment of information nd man hel f l suggestiops. s Mr. Baty helps a stu nt de- cide his future. Testing student's abilities is a provision of the counseling department. , There is something in our library for everyone: We read great literature and study his- tory, civics, international rela- tions-the stories of man's efforts to control their environment. We experience the truth of science and mathematics, and enjoy music, speech, drawing, and industrial arts through books. We contin- ually discovei' that it is both fun and profitable to explore the treasures found in books. Commercial majors who plan to find 'obs after graduation, dis- cover tfiat office machines is a priceless course. Students get experience in using nearly all types of machines and equipment t at they will encounter in to- days modern offices. STUDENTS' WORK TOWARD 523, 'OJ F ' Je Problems in addition are explained and demonstrated by Mr Arduin, a new member of our faculty, to a senior in rhe office machines class. Mrs. Thompson looks over the work of some of the Typing l students as they learn the proper way to type business letters. Y,,, 7,,,,, ,, an On your mark! Get setl Go! The stopwatch is set and the thundering of keys follows the starting signal. To the be- ginner it seems impossible that fingers can fly so fast and yet type so accurately. But speed and accuracy are not acquired overnightf they come with drill and practice. Nearly everyone manages to take at least one semester of typing no matter what they plan to do in the future. COMMERCl.4l CAREERS' ,Ls Good Commercial courses in an ever-increasing department meet the needs of business-mind- ed Romulus students. ln shorthand a skill is de- veloped which is most important in business and invaluable to the future secretary or even college student. Girls in Shorthand ll prepare to take practice dictation from Mrs. Young, a well liked staff member. Everything from stock mar- kets to trade unions is covered in this fascinating course in Ec- onomics. In the everchanging world of today, business leaders are search- ing For young people with a back- ground in economics. This is your chance for a fascinating semester and a subiect that will help you in many ways. Economics students listen attentively as Mr. Zornes further explains a colorful chart showing the income and expenditures of Michigan for the fiscal year 1958. ,gh Y , Bulging with opportunities for the artistic student, the art courses offer a welcome change from the everyday grind. Future Rembrandts give their imagina- tions free play with everything from paint brushes to mosaic tiles. Art students find themselves in adventures of drawing, sculpture, lettering, and handicrafts. Cho- ice is difficult, but many con- tinue in specialized courses. !lR7'- I-'0R SEIF EXPRESSION Mr. Nitschke supervises as ceramics students reclaim the art of pottery making. With clay and ceramics wheel these artists turn out articles of use and beauty. As the students watch intently, Mr. Nault explains and demonstrates how to draw an ellipse. Mechanical drawing is a popular course among the boys in our school. Every class is Filled to capacity with students looking toward college courses in art, engineering and architecture, or planning for iobs in the me- chanical fields. They learn the use of drawing instruments, read- ing blueprints, and drawing ar- chitectural designs. i Q TRAININ6 0F FUTURE TRADESMEN The blueprint reading class is one of the most fascinating here at our school. ln this class students are taught to visualize complicated obiects from lines and numbers. Mr. Morkam is shown help- ing a student with a difficult problem which is soon clarified by his excellent instruction. The buzzing of saws and the whirling of drills are appropriate sounds from our well-equipped wood and metal shop. The students, through actual experiences on the com licated saws, drill presses and other ma- chinery, learn to be handymen with wood, metal and plastics, and at the same time create use- ful and money saving proiects. The delicate setting of the table saw is one of the many skills students learn through Mr. Diment's demonstrations. lk. l l l i .YCIENCE STUDENTS' M4 VE Do you know the names and numbers of each of the phylums? This is only a small part ofthe wealth of know- ledge, about all types of life, available through Biology. Plants, animals, and people are the main topics which are discussed, read about and reported on. Mr. Blumenthal fleft picturej and Mr. Strang fright picturel share the re- sponsibility of educating the students of Romulus in the science of Biology. We live in a chemical world .... There's even a chem- istry of personality. . . .And chemistry moves ahead so fast that it is said a chemistr text- book is out of date by the time the manuscript can be completed. Romulus's chemistry course is a good, sound one intended for students who are interested in science or preparing for college. Chemistry minded students are ably directed and instructed by Mr. Lamb. Of course, there are experi- ments that cause small crises al- most daily, including burned fingers, test tubes that blow their tops under pressure, and series of minor explosions. A Bkofw nm: 0F cffolcf 5' Plfjlu Mathematics courses are pop- ular but challenging. ln a lot of ways they result in a survival of the fittest. Students can ma- ior in math or merely take a two year minor, whatever the individ- ual's choice, a full program is available. From room 104, we hear the screech of chalk and the flutter of ages as Mr. Pedrick's Advan- cecla Algebra students attempt to draw complicated graphs and solve impossible quadratic equa- tions. I I 1 Ml! Q if l s, Q lm, Z f xx M Long involved problems, com- plicated experiments, and difficult proiects are worked on far into the night by those who ventured into the course in physics. Deal- ing mainly with matter, energy, and physical changes in matter, this course is invaluable to stu- dents who are preparing for col- lege. Mr. Goldenberg demonstrates, and explains some of the prin- ciples of sound and sonics to a group of science minded seniors. MNGWIGEJ' ZEAD When translations become difficult, Mr. Tabler, a new member of the Language depart- ment, gives aid and encourage- ment to eager Spanish students. Yes, Latin was hard for Caesar and Cicero too. That's probably one of the reasons why it became a so-called dead lang- uage. But, here in Romulus the language of ancient Rome lives today, not only in daily assign- ments, but in proiects, drawings, and pictures. One of the new faculty mem- bers, Mrs. Mayes, helps a group of Latin l students through a dif- ficult passage as they translate an znferesfin Eyfh. gi , ,,.. ,, X ' X Q. l NX l lee. Buenas dias, close. With these words, begins an hour of instruction in the language of our Spanish-speaking neighbors. Man students desirin to learn the llanguage are enrolled in first year Spanish classes. Giving impromptu speeches in Spanish, carrying on conversations, ancl special projects add variety to te dailyf work. Students, not only study the vocabulary and grammar, but they also learn about the customs, traditions, costumes and history of the Span- ish peope. . T0 UNDERSMNDIN6 ...... Speech is not onlya course, it's an experience-or a series of experiences. Rather painful at first for some of the more shy and shrinking, Speech trains in enun- ciation, expression, careful and clear articulation, and poise be- fore an audience. Hard as it is at first for those who need it most, o one is ever sorry for iii W t M Should we have school for six days a week? ask speech students as they participate in a mock debate. Through plays, debates, skits, and s eeches, Mrs. Parker helps her students vercome shyness and, demonstrate their talents. Wt it students listen refully, Mrs. Collins explains some of the asic principles of correct pronunciation, so necessary in speaking and writing correctly. It may be old fashioned to learn to diagram sentences-the longer and more involved the r better! But Romulus teachers and many students think there is ' no better way to learn the word relationships and the various parts ofa good sentence. Some stu- dents find it as challenging an exercise as working cross word puzzles or playing a brain teasing game of scrabble. Of course, literature is by no means consi- dered to be unimportant. Stu- dents learn about Caesar, Shake- spheare, and King Arthur, and plays, poetry, short stories, es- says, and novels by both Ameri- can and foreign authors. WE IEARN 480117 Lectures play an important part in Mr. Gibb's instructing program. Here he explains the Freudian theory to the fascin- ated class. ui dent who wants to graduate from a Michigan high school. Seniors at in study of our government. They become more thoroughly familiar wit laration of Independence, and the Do you ever wonder why people do the things that they dog the way they do them? This and many other problems and questions dealing with people and their environment are thoroughly discussed in Sociology class. This course is valuable For anyone who will have dealings with people during their lives, and that in- cludes everyone. Miss Zulkey points out the highlights of a current news paper article to an attentive government class. A semester of civics is re- red by state law of every stu- our school become engrossed h the Constitution, The Dec- operation of our state and federal government. A part of the course is also devoted to the study of 3 current events throughout the world. ' awww Q his-as THE WORZD ARUUND 02 Why should we study history? Why should we have to know what happened far away and long ago? These questions are asked often by history students at the beginning of the year as they languidly leaf through the history book. ln minutes they are lost in the civilization of the ancient Egyptians, the colorful panorama of the Old World, and the his- torical days of the pioneers and pilgrims. Interesting and educa- tional proiects help to make his- tory even more realistic. SKS? Xia Mapwork is important in learning the names and locations of countries and geographical areas encountered in daily assign- ments. As the class studies developments in southern Asia, Mr Leach points out the country of Pakistan. In a single class hour, Ameri- can History students sense the chaos and bloodshed of the tragic C-ivil War and hear the shot that killed Abraham Lincoln. Mrs. Schoenals explains an interesting principle. MENU!! AND PHYSICAI flY6'lEWf RO0ND - 007 NIE IDUCATIONAZ PR06RllM Physical Education classes are not 'ust playing baseball and basketball. Students are instruct- ed in many other hoses of physi- cal activit such as tumblin J' 9: modern an folk dancing, bad- minton, and volleyball. They also practice callisthenics and learn to use good sportsmanship at all times. For the first time in Romulus High, health courses are taught to both boys and girls as part of the physical education program. Students learn to keep their minds and bodies in top condition. Aided b Mr. Baum, boys in the health cllass engage in a dis- cussion of some fundamentals of health which they have read and studied about. Rules and regulations make the games possible. Miss Jefferys explains some of the fouls and violations encountered in the game of basketball. Mrs. Johnson speaks to a group of girls about the impor- tance of good sleeping and eat- ing habits in keeping the body healthy. ll0MEM'4KlN6 STUDENTS' STKIVE 70 MAKE A H0055 A lIOME . Regardless of her choice of a vocation, nearly every girl will wind up with a career as a home- maker--her first choice, after all. To pave the way, the home ec- onomics department offers many different courses and a variety of experiences. Miss Polo, a favored teacher of Romulus, teaches sewing, knitting, and various other handy arts. Cooking is both an art and a science--as well as the way to a man's heart. As taught in the Romulus home economics courses, cooking can even satisfy that creative urge. Mrs. Stalker teaches the girls how to plan and budget their meals in a delightful way. THE R040 T0 DRIVING Skill Beginning with talks and textbook study, the training course lets novice drivers know something about their cars and their problems in traffic before taking the wheel even in the dual control car. nllAL The drivers-training program has become so important that the state has passed a law requiring the course in school before issuing licenses to beginners. Romulus is proud of its fine program and capable instructors, Mr. Cass and his assistant Mr. Morkam. The course takes the driver from hesitant, ierky starts to smooth, skillful parallel parking, in a comparative short time. In- experienced drivers occasionally give Mr. Cass and Mr. Morkam some hair-raising moments, run- ning over curbs, into defenseless trees, or aiming with deadly ac- curacy for the nearest unwary pedestrian. fDOC'4Tl0M4l RHYTHM The difficult role as band director and instructor is filled well by Mr. Richardson. Presenting a rich variety of sacred, spiritual, modern and popular songs, the nearly sev- enty members of our chorus brought much enioyment and happiness to many an audience this year. Under the able di- rection of Mr. Trudgeon, the chorus has made immense progress this year. Pclssersby near the band room before rehearsal wonder why the band is one of the best Romulus has ever had. A confusion of toots, honlcs, squawks, and muf- fled rumbles bears no resemblance to music! But cl few minutes later the band settles down to producing the harmonious, ear- soothing music with the exception- al quality for which it is well known. Mr. Trudgeon and the chorus practice one of their numbers for a future perfommance. The custodial staff at R.H.S. keeps things going day in and day out. Arm- ed with the latest scrubbers and waxers, the team gets busy with soap ond water. Service with a smile is the motto of these cheery women on the cafeteria staff. The ladies that make up the staff are left to right Mrs. Christensen, Mrs. Barton, Mrs. Ellis, and Mrs. Renke.

Our Romulus Reserves concluded their 58 season by dropping a game to Tay- lor Center and thus finishing with a 2 win, 5 loss record. The reserves were severely handicapped because of a lack of depth. Five regulars were lost throughout the year due to iniuries and the loss of four play- ers who were moved up to the varsity squad. Some of the outstanding performers included Bob Mehrbrodt, Norbert Wegienka, Ron Crandall, and Dan Green on the line with Marvin McQuitty and Stu Flounary in the backfield.

The one thing that held Romulus dlown was the height problem. Most of the season we continually played teams with a height ad- vantage and rebounds were few in these contests. Even thou h they had a losing season the Ea les were an exciting ball club at times. What Loyal fan can forget the Airport Car?eton game when Jack Seymore sank a pressurized free throw to win the game? Romulus had the chore this year to meet rated River Rouge twice and each time put up a battle but couldn't turn the tide. Throughout the season Co-Captains Lewis Bryant and Lee Aggison led Romulus in points scored and in rebounds. One factor that hurt the ball team was their inconsistency to hit inthe first half. Even though they started slow, the Eagles stayed in the game till the end, despite rough opposition. Coach Diment, coaching the Romulus Squad for the first time did a very creditable iob.

RESERVE BASKETBAZZ This year our Junior Eagles set a pace that gave them great acclaim. With a ten win and six loss record they had -their first successful reserve season since the 1953 sea- son. The Eagles had the ability each game to come back after a beating to defeat every team in the Twin Valley League with the exception of the powerful River Rouge Team which beat them twice. The reserves were led with good team play throughout the season. Stout perfor- mances were given la members of the team in every game. The last game of the sea- son was thrill-packedy as Romulus won in the last seventeen seconds as Darwin Wessels dropped in four successive free throws to beat the taller Ecorse Team. Our reserves gave great satisfaction to all followers of the team with good team play. Scoring was shared equall with five players sharing honors in most games. Coach Blumenthal, brought them through the stormy first half of the season and his supervision and training paid off. The reward was a ten win and six loss record.

Religion plays an important role in our daily life, and in building a greater and stronger nation. Through- out our entire country, Voice of Christian Youth Clubs have been formed in public schools in order to direct the student's thoughts and actions toward God. Thexexistence of the VCY club in our high school enables the Christian young people to meet and de- velop friendships with other Christian students. A typical program might consist of group singing, prayer time, special musical numbers, Bible readings, and a short talk by a member, director, or a guest speaker. Club meetings are open to all students and have proven to be an ideal means of reaching teens who do not often attend church. Ill Illlllll If I 11 l L Photography is an art.

They not only perform their regular duty of leading the student body in cheers at all the games, but they also promote school spirit and better sportsmanship among the students. The squad has also been responsible for planning and organizing all pep assem- blies, and they sponsored several after- game dances. All is not glamour in connection with cheerleading as we are sometimes led to believe. The girls engage in long hours of racfice with the squad as well as indiviclzually, and are continually trying to perfect their timing, voice control, and the difficult stunts that are required of them. Their advisor is Mrs. Johnson, who has really helped the girls a great deal. To inspire the team, the cheerleaders lead a fight yell. .YERVME 0R6ANlZv4Tl0N.S' ARE AN lMPOR7.4N7' ASSET The Proiectionists, a service organization, was organized in the fall of 1958 to assist the teachers in the use of Audio- Visual aids.

From committee meetings stemed the plans For such activ- ities as our J-Hop, Winter Esca- pade , our Senior Play, The Late Christopher Bean , and our Senior Prom, Sleepy Lagoon . Hardworking members of the class of 59 and their advisors contributed to the success of our activities. l i.i -., Actors, stage crew, make-up artists, and publicity managers, all helped to make our Junior Play, Strange Boarders , with Pauline and her gangster friends, one of the most hu- morous plays ever presented. What Senior will forget trials and successes of American Government classes, the current event proiects, and, the note- books which helped us become better citizens and Americans. Announcements to be order- ecl, cap and gown measurements, applications to many colleges in hopes that our education wouldn't end at graduation, a Senior trip to be planned, and many other activities contributed to making our Senior year the most active of our high school days. Many times classwork and homework seemed useless and clif- Ficult until that last year when we realized that we were soon to make our way in life whether it be going to college or be- ginning work right away, and this education is to be our back- bone. A tense moment as seniors 'fry out for parts. lL. to RJ Gerald Wendland NIE M TE C'flRl.S70PflfR Phyllis Wardell, Barbara Atkins, Jackia Cotham, and Kathy Carrico. , The secret is revealecll ie. H.- U.---5 eu., Practice, practice, and more practice! This year's Senior Play presentation was The Late Christopher Bean , a comedy in three acts. The Late Christopher Bean is a story about an artist, Chris Bean, who has died. Before his death, Chris lived with the Hag- getts, a New England family. Dr. Haggett fRussell Simmonsi, Mrs. Haggett CPhyllis War- delli, and Ada Haggett Uoanne Smithi all disliked him and thought he was worthless. Susan Haggett fKathy Carricoi, the youngest daughter of the Haggetts, and Abby fBarbara Atkinsi, the housekeeper for the Haggetts, felt differently about him. After Chris's death, his paintings became very valuable and many people came to buy them. The Haggetts, not knowing the paint- ings were valuable, used some of them around the house for decorative and other purposes. The others, Mrs. Haggett thought she had burned. Later on, Chris's paintings were found. The Haggetts tried to claim them but they were given back to the rightful owner, Abby, who had married Chris before he died, but kept it a secret. The play was directed by faculty advisor, Mrs. Schoenhals, and student director, Karen Youtsey. Others in the cast included: Warren Cra- mer Uack Cothami, Tallant fTony Kopasi, Rosen fLen Ciecieki, and Maxwell Davenport fGer- ald Wendlandi. Personalities undergo changes. Dress rehearsal takes place as the big night approaches. Planning and organizing the dummy of the yearbook is the first and foremost step in our reproduction. THANKS ....... Many have helped make this, your annual, the best yet by spending ong hours planning, writing copy, editing, taking pictures, and preparing lay-outs. The 1958-59 EAGLE has been synony- mous with the students, because, essen- tially it is the students. From early September till late March the staff spent many hours in searching out the necessary information, compiling the data, and organizing this material in order to give you, the student body, a complete resume of your school year. I feel the quality of this book re- flects the devoted effort put forth by each member in this proiect. I would like to take this opportun- ity to thank each member of our team for the fine work they demonstrated in behalf of the entire student body of Romulus High School. This has cer- tainly been a wonderful experience for me and I feel certain that each member of the staff will go forth with the feel- ing that they have done a beneficial ser- vice to their school and fellow student.

AI .f'i,... 01:21, Mr. Zornes lectures Journalism classes on setting different kinds of type, form used in magazines and newspapers, and important points to remember when writing copy. Of the many steps to be performed in pro- ducing a yearbook, writing copy is the most difficult. Writing a description of what a certain club does, or how a certain athletic team made out during a season is not as simple as it sounds. tThere are many factors involved which require a lot of time and effort. The description must be said in such a way that every word, every phrase has meaning. It must leave a lasting impression with the reader, yet it must still give an accurate and complete picture of the subiect at hand, leav- ing no questions to be asked. After deciding on what is wanted in each section of the yearbook, it is necessary to dis- cuss and decide how it can be done. With man giving contributions of their knowledge of the principles involved and offering their opinions and ideas, it becomes possible to ob- tain the best, most effective way of portray- ing the ideas and objectives which were de- cided upon. with those all important pic rushes from cor Paste-up is not as easy as it looksl Pictures must be absolutely straight and clean as every little detail is reproduced in the book. lt requires very close and accurate work.
