Text from Pages 1 - 48 of the 1952 volume:

I Published by . . . OL Sl S lent A oj Southwestern High School Detroit, Wlc hicjan JANUARY 1952 Administration... One of the most popular men at Southwestern is the principal, Mr. Walter Draper. On coming here from Southeastern, he immediately became acquainted with the students and interested in their activities and projects. As principal, he has set an excellent example of school spirit for all Southwestern students to follow. Mr. Draper is always a spectator at the sports events to show the team that the man at the top has a sincere interest in its attainment. Mr. Draper has been a faculty member in several Detroit high schools and has been an in- spiration to teachers and students wherever he has been. His interest in community projects has made him popular with everyone in the southwest sec- tion of the city. Walter L. Draper PRINCIPAL As assistant principal of Southwestern for 28 years, Miss Spencer is especially known for her competent, wise, and friendly guidance. Miss Spencer came here when Nordstrum High School opened in 1916, serving as English teacher and grade principal. In a quiet, friendly way she always has time to give her personal and interested attention to all who seek her advice. Always calm and poised, she has made herself a well-loved figure and fine example of American woman- hood. Bernice Spencer ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL Counselors Mr. Walter Mrs. Margaret Dierkes Miller The counselors at Southwestern have been understanding and just. The students feel free to discuss their problems with them, because they know that their confidences will be respected. Our four counselors have been selected for their ability to assist students in choosing their courses, for their knowledge of the difficulties of young people, and for their skill in helping to solve such problems. Our students are indeed fortunate to have such fine people in charge of their guidance. Mr. Norton Miss Grace Phillips Weston Dedication Mr. Vincent McLellan We, the members of the January 1952 gradu- ating class, dedicate this issue of the Pictorial to Miss Estelle Gurgul and Mr. Vincent McLellan. These two teachers have always shown a deep interest in the students who attend their classes. They have a sympathetic ear for the troubles of the students here at Southwestern. Miss Gurgul graduated from Wayne University with a Bachelor and a Master of Arts degree. Be- fore coming to Southwestern, she taught at Wilson and Tappan Schools. In addition to teaching her shorthand and type classes, she is the assistant chairman of the Charity Drive Committee here and sponsor of the Rapid Writers' Club. Miss Gurgul has been sponsor of our class for three years and has helped in every way that she could to further the interests of our class. Mr. McLellan, Southwestern alumnus, gradu- ated from the University of Detroit with a Bachelor of Law Degree. He received his Bachelor and his Master of Arts degree in education from Wayne University. For six years before coming to South- western, he taught at Mackenzie High School. Mr. McLellan has done much to encourage us in our class projects. As an indication of our appreciation we are very happy that we may dedicate this book to Miss Gurgul and Mr. McLellan. May they continue to help future classes as they have helped ours. January Class Officers Elmer Kreszyn, President; Mary Sopko, Secretary; Gene De Priest, Vice President; Absent, Ed Sash, Treasurer. President's Address... By Elmer Kreszyn Fellow Classmates, Faculty Members, and Friends: On this, our graduation day, we are ex- periencing what so many other graduating classes have experienced, both joy and sorrow. We are filled with joy because we have reached the goal for which we have striven these last four years. But we are sorrowful too, because we are now departing from the many friends whom we have acquired during our school years. Today we realize our happy stay at Southwestern has finally drawn to a close. We must now go forth into a world of confusion and unrest, to seek our places among other men and women. Let us remember as we leave Southwes- tern, that we enter a phase of life that holds many new experiences and many new goals. Just as we have come to look forward to graduation, let us also look forward to such things as being success- ful in the many tasks that are to confront us in our adult life, and of becoming honorable, respected citizens. My only hope is that God will grant peace so that we can use our knowledge, skills, and talents to build a prosperous and encouraging future. To Mr. Draper, Miss Spencer, Miss Gurgul, and Mr. Strohmer, I would like to express the sincere appreciation of our class for their efforts in making our senior year as happy as it has been. To you, my classmates, I express my deep gratitude, not only for the honor you have given me, but for the wonderful cooperation you have shown during our short time together. These will always be among my most cherished memories. And now friends, goodby, good luck, and may God bless all of you.

A Message from Nancy Kachadoorian Valedictorian Today marks the completion of another chapter in our lives. This chapter is a memorable one. It is filled with pages of fond memories never to be forgotten. It is strange and unfortunate that only when we must depart from something do we realize how much it means to us. Hence, we find it very difficult to leave, for this also means that we are leaving a way of life.” We must enter into patterns of different shapes and accept many new responsibilities. This is hard to do; but we must learn to orient ourselves easily and smoothly as possible, for the fond experiences we dislike leaving are only a preview of the joys to come, if we have the will to follow our ambitions. Let us set our goal at a reasonable height. Aim at it with unfailing determination and perseverance, so we can achieve success in whatever we undertake. Although we may fall back- ward over steps previously taken on the steep mountain to suc- cess, we will find that the top of the mountain will be covered with golden pastures that reap rich harvests. Some of us may excel in mechanical skill, reasoning power, excellent memories, musical and artistic talents; but if we are not at the head of a class now, do not let discouragement stand in our way, for with time, things constantly change. Therefore, if we have the will, we can excel in our field of endeavor. We can do it if we work atit--workat it with honesty, determination, and zeal. Many obstacles lie in our path. Can we overtake these set- backs and rise above them to our goals? To you, Graduates of Southwestern High School, I leave the answer. A message from Marie Petzke Salutatorian Knowing is the measure of the man. By how much we know, so much we are. That is a good thought to keep in mind as we close our high school years. This is not the end of our education as so many of us §eem to think. It is only the beginning. Some of us will go on to college, others will go into the business world, but our learning should not stop with a high school or college diploma. We are again on the brink of another war, for the people of the world have yet to capture the wisdom, understanding, and tolerance necessary for perpetual peace. If only we could strive for and achieve an unbiased, well-rounded education, we will have accomplished something our forefathers have been unable to do. Some people live and learn while others just live. If every day we could conscientiously try to learn something, no matter how small, and to learn with an open mind - then we will have become scholarly. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, A scholar is the favor- ite of heaven and earth, the excellency of his country; the hap- piest of men. His duties lead him directly into the holy ground where other men’s aspirations only point. His successes are occasions of the purest joy to all men. Eyes is he to the blind; feet is he to the lame.” a Marie Petzke Salutatorian Nancy Kachadoorian Valedictorian CLASS MOTTO Knowledge is the treasure, but practice is the key to it. CLASS FLOWER White carnations with blue and gold ribbons. CLASS SPONSORS Miss Gurgul and Mr. Strohmer Salutatory Class History.. By Delores Cocciolone and William Holland SCENE: Corner Drug Store TIME: A week before graduation SPEAKERS: Delores Cocciolone and Bill Holland Bill is sitting at a table talking with a friend as Delores walks in and goes over to the magazine counter. Bill's friend says good-bye and leaves. Bill saunters over to Delores. Bill: Hi, Delores! Delores: Oh, hello, Bill! Bill: Are you going to get a magazine? Delores: Yes, but I don't know which one to get. Bill: Aw, forget about the magazine. Let's sit down and get something. Delores: Mmm.O.K.! They sit down at the table. Waiter comes over. This waiter looks vaguely familiar- Why, it's Joe Huszarik! Waiter: Hiya, kids! W hate ha gonna have? Bill: Two zombie sodas. Waiter: What flavor? Bill: Peach. Delores: Blueberry. Waiter exits. Bill: Well, here we are ready to graduate! It seems like yes- terday that we came to Southwestern. Yes, I can still remem- ber our freshman year. We had three record groups then - Mr. Strohmer, Mr. Morel, and Sgt. Theil were the homeroom teachers. Did you know we were the first to have home rooms consisting of both boys and girls? Delores: Yes, I can remember everything clearly, too. I re- member how we students got a big kick out of the Student-Fac- ulty Basketball Game, especially when Mr. Allen came out in his red underwear--full of mothholes and a sign across his chest Superman!” Bill: Speaking of sports, we sure were proud and thrilled when we played our first reserve football game. Waiter comes in. Waiter: Here ya are, two zombie sodas. Thata be 42?. Bill: (Takes out a dollar bill from his wallet. Hands It to the waiter. Waiter starts to give change...) Oh, never mind, keep the change! Waiter: (Exits looking pleasantly surprised.) Delores: What about the time before the Christmas holidays when Mr. Strohmer's homeroom and Mr. Morel's homeroom tried to out-do each other by seeing who could decorate their room the best and have the more attractive Christmas tree. Bill: Yeah, that was a lot of fun! Then in the tenth grade our homerooms were split. There were two girls’ records and one boys'. The record teachers were Miss Gurgul, Mrs. Sweeney, and Mr. Strohmer that year. Delores: Gosh, remember how petrified we were when we had to have those T.B. X-Rays? You'd think we were being sent to the gas chamber! Bill: Boy! That was the year when WE won the Little Brown Jug from Western 25-0! Delores: Then we went into the eleventh grade. How time flies — Sgt. Theil left Southwestern to go to Japan and Sgt. Dickinson replaced him. Bill: r 11 never forget the Lettermen's Dance that year. It was a lot of fun and a big success. Those of us who won our letters then felt like real big shots. Delores: Then came our first class day - - 11A Day. Boy, were we happy and proud! Bill: We wore yellow carnations with blue and gold ribbons. Delores: It was a treat to see the boys wearing suits and ties to school for a change! Bill: Ha! What about you girls trying to walk around in your high heels! How funny! The next Monday you were all limping and had bandages on your blisters. Delores: Yeah, we were really coming up in the world! Bill: Before we knew it, wewereout of the 11A and in the midst of the 12B. Class officers were elected and Elmer Kreszyn came out on top to lead the class. He certainly did a great job! Naturally he got a little help from his executive board: Dorothy Thibos, vice-president; Mary Sopko, secretary; and Don Waltnski, keeper of the treasury! Delores: That semester we made our first big money for our treasury because the 12B-12A basketball game was a hit! Bill: 42 to 35. What a score! And we (12B's then) had to be the losers. What luck! We were in need of some quick first- aid! Delores: Speaking of first-aid, we were the very first class to have a course in first-aid. Bill: And didn't we all love it! All the kids would come to school In slings just to prove they were learning. Delores: We were the first and last class to master the art and application of tourniquets! Bill: Not to change the subject.....but----wasn't it great fun putting on our variety show? Delores: We were really gone then!! We staged it in night club style. What an Ingenious bunch we were! Thanks to Mrs. Sweeney's guidance and efforts. Bill: Everything we did was successful! Delores: Our dance--the J-Hop, was terrific. Gene Sherwood the T. V. star was the vocalist with the Wayfarers, who supplied the lilting rhythms. Bill: Then 12B Class Day came along........Delores Koy head- ed the flower committee. So we had yellow tea roses with blue and gold ribbons. Delores: If I’m not mistaken, that was a nice sunny warm day! Bill: Yep, and Mr. Draper let us go outside during record period to take pictures. And that was the first time any class was allowed to do that. Delores; We proved that we were responsible citizens too. Remember Margaret Zazaian was a bang-up hit that day! Bill: Yeah, she fell down the steps! Delores: One thing led to another. Charles Buckshi and Mary Sopko were selected toaccept the pick and spade from the 12A's. Bill: Then summer vacation called us away from our studies! Delores: Yes, but we couldn't wait to return in the fall. Bill: Boy, we were coming in on the home stretch! We were 12A's now! Delores: We were so happy to learn we had two wonderful people to sponsor us, Miss Gurgul and Mr. Strohmer. They did an admirable job, didn't they? BUI: No question about it! Elmer also did a repeat job as president of the class. He did an even better job this time. Delores: Don’t neglect those poor souls serving in other offices: Gene DePriest as vice-president; Mary Sopko as secretary; and Ed Sash, treasurer. Bill: What a wonderful dance we had! ... Blue Autumn, we called it. Delores: Autumn? Well--------maybe----- Mother Nature pre- sented us with a blanket of snow that night! But it was another success! Bill: And our class play-------that comedy-fantasy, Rest Assured. Delores: As usual Mr. Morel directed the play as only Mr. Morel can direct in his own inimitable way! Next to South Pacific we were best. Bill: I wonder if James Chandler wiU ever shed that Italian accent he perfected for the show? Delores: It seems to me we've neglected an important segment of our organization, the Lettermen! Bill: Oh, no. We couldn't possibly forget THEM. (He-men that we are!) Delores: A big gang of you pulled through with those senior letters. Bill: Charles Buckshi, Joe Rice, Dave Alvis, Herman Marshall, Joe Huszarik, Brad Boggames, Don Brierly, Walter Wright. Julius Mikus, John Zago, Kenneth Terry. Ed Sash. JackWright A1 Forini, Andrew Ferrans, Andy Gilford, Elmer Kreszyn, Gene DePriest, Dan Walinski, and, of course, yours truly. Delores: Four years------from children to young adults. Who would have thought it? ! Bill: We all get a bit sentimental around this time. Now Class Day is here. Delores: We had fun in school. The things we did, the friends we met-----how can we forget? Bill: Before we burst into tears.... let's head for home.... After all.. .we have one more week of high school before we have to face the world. Presentation of the Pick . . . By Charles Buckshi This pick represents the high standards and ideals we, the graduating class of January 1952, have striven to reach. May you, the future seniors, find successful results in your endeavors to.maintain these standards. This ribbon bedecked symbol of learning, culture, and good citizenship is now offered to you, the seniors of tomorrow, to use as your guide toward success. In accordance with Southwestern tradition I am greatly honored to present this pick to you the seniors of June 1952. Presentation of the Spade . . . By Mary Sopko Thirty years ago this spade broke the soil on which Southwestern High School now stands. Since that time it has been the tradition for the gradu- ating seniors to present this emblem of inspir- ation to the on-coming seniors. On this memorable day we add our colors to those of preceding classes and present this spade to the graduating class of June 1952. To you 12-B's--graduates of tomorrow --we heartily wish success. May you uphold the ideals and the spirit of friendliness and good sportman- ship of which Southwestern is proud. Acceptance of the Pick . . . By Anita Vieceli As representative of the June 1952 class I accept this historic pick from you - the class of January 1952 with honor and humility. We fully understand the significance of this treasured pick and the responsibility which soon will be placed upon our shoulders. The burden will be a weighty one and it is our desire to ful- full our duties as successfully as you have. To all of you we offer our heartfelt congrat- ulations and express our warmest wishes for your future happiness. Good luck, graduates! Acceptance of the Spade . . . V, By George Pipper It is with deepest gratitude that I accept this spade. We, the graduates of June 1952, only hope that we can prove to be worthy of the honor before us. We will do our utmost to retain the standards, ideals, and traditions of this school - our high school. We will try to do as good a job as our predecessors. We realize that we have learned more than just academic subjects. We have been taught how to think as free individuals —which is so import- ant in today's world. We have been taught how to get along with all peoples. We have been taught how to be better citizens — better human beings. We know that initiative, reliability, and de- termination are necessary qualities in whatever paths of endeavor we take in the future. This spade will guide us during our final period of high school and on through life. In behalf of the 12-B class, I congratulate all of you on the fine job you have done at South- western. May you have the best of luck and success in the future. The Future . . . As Seen by the Class Prophets CLASS PROPHECY of JANUARY 1952 Dorothy Thibos Donald Brierly PROPHECY Bill Holland is now the coach of the Mudville High football team. The team's record stands at 50 lost and none won, but Bill won't give up. He is fighting hard for a tie today. Fred Oswald has finally worked his way up from stockboy to head janitor at Hudson's. Leonard Sagatilianand Joe Rice have just landed a job writing poems for the Hobo News. Don Wallnski is still camped outside the girls' locker room. Miss Williamson still refuses to put him on the girls' swimming team. James Chandler has formed a new political party. His platform which was drawn up by James Cates guarantees shorter school days, longer holidays, and no homework. Mr. Cates believes that all the young people will go for it. The only disadvantage is that the young people can’t vote. Marie Petzke is still recuperating from the strain of being editor- in-chief of The Prospector. Mel Israel, her private nurse, is taking good care of her.

Class Poem ■ ■ ■ 5 Joseph Rice Our gay four years at last are up, And now we bid adieu, We're off to college or to work, And start ventures new. We're happy now, we start again, All on our own at last. The future lies before us So enticing and so vast. by Leonard Sagatilian and Joseph Rice Yet, as we leave these halls so dear After all these happy years, Our hearts feel very heavy And our eyes are filled with tears. With memories fond we say goodbye, We laugh, we jest, and cheer; But the reason for our laughter Is to hide a-growing tear.
