HE LIBRARY, which is one of the finest in the state of Michigan for a school of this a siz e, is located on the second floor, in the center front of the building. The large reading room, which seats 128 students, is adjoined by three small conference rooms for group study, a librarian’s room, and a stack room. After the founding of the school in 1849, the library grew rapidly in size, and provided for the students a source of material that was “respectable in size, rich in variety, and selected with especial reference to the wants of the pupils’, the original aim of the library. It was destroyed by fire in 1877, but a catalog for the year following that date reports a collection of 400 book s. Since that time the book collection has steadily grown, requiring changes in housing to provide the necessary space. At the present time the library contains a collection of approximately 12,800 vol- umes, which are classified and catalogued according to the Dewey Decimal System. It subscribes to forty-eight magazines for the students’ and teachers’ use, and to three newspapers—the New York Times, The Christian Monitor, and The Ypsilanti Daily Press. It also contains a large picture and clipping collection, as well as some very in- teresting historical material concerning the early history of the school and the commun- ity. My. Ten YPNI DIXIT NEWAIGES POR OUR LIBRARY N AN ATTEMPT to give every student the advantage of being in it every day, the library is used as a study hall for both Junior and Senior High School pupils. Each student is assigned at least one period daily for study there. The library is open before and at the close of school, providing a splendid opportunity for all to become acquainted with the treasures it contains. A class in library instruction was organized last fall. This class is conducted by the librarian once a week. A study of the organization of the library, of reference books, and of libraries in general is made and, after work, trips are taken to visit the Normal College Library, the University of Michigan Library, and the Detroit Public Library. Each member of the class acts as assistant librarian one hour daily. The following stu- dents enrolled in this course: Alice Arnet, Barbara Barrs, Mildred Burden, Bella Freed, Bessie Godley, Winifred Grant, Jane Haig, Sally Jefferson, Ruth Jennings, Margaret Johnston, Colleen McKenna, Naomi Myers, Jane Oliver, Ruth Sanderson, Louise Sweet. The library has flourished under the able guidance of Miss McCrickett, the librarian. She is always ready to give friendly assistance, and her gracious spirit pervades the entire library. M. J. Eleven YPNI DIXIT WRIERE: THE WHEELS GO CROUND LASSROOMS, auditoriums, gymnasium, offices! All schools can boast of these in one form or another, but how many schools of our size have such well-equipped shops in which to train the students in the manual arts. I sometimes wonder if you know we have them within our own four walls, for seldom is our conversation directed to them in particular. Now I ask you, “How can such an important part of our building be so completely overlooked?” Let’s watch our step, and the steps in these shops as well, and not forget them in the future. And for just a minute of your precious time, direct your attention to the heating plant and pay tribute to it. Little does it impress us as long as everything runs smoothly, but let the fires go out on a nice cold January day and there will be very few of us who won't notice it. So let us consider it now when, as usual, everything is running efficiently! G. M. Twelve YPNI DEXIT Thirteen YPN DIXIT ARTHUR G.

Seventeen YPNI DIXIT= telly Cl CHAS HOSE OF YOU who may believe that the scle interest of the members of our Faculty Te in improving the lives of the students should be interested in the following list of their activities: ? Who wouldn’t envy Mr. Wiltse his position? He's the man who gets a generous sample of ice cream and cake whenever the Grades hold a patty. We wonder if Mr. Ivens’ beiny in the office could possibly account for the in- creased number of girls who find excuses to go there so often? Oh, well, we just won- dered ! While we are on the subject of offices, we should like to recommend Miss Hardy for the position there, because of her efficiency in handling daily announcements (and Seniors!) . Wedged in between 205 and 209 we find pink-cheeked little Miss Ryan. She sim- ply can’t understand why the Seniors are so wild. In looking around we find talent which we had not suspected among our faculty members. Mr. Heyman is an author—hi s book has helped many a distracted debater out of a dilemma this past year. Mrs. Teaboldt makes up pleasing little poems and entertaining plays, while Mrs. Teeters fills in her spare moments writing clever essays. Miss Nadeau keeps her tiny apartment in such a skillful manner that we wonder why some man does not become tired of ‘batching’ it. Miss McCrickett, our cheerful custodian of books, keeps us silent in her domain— a task that must strain her patience to the utmost. Then there is Mr. Sabourin. He teaches, sponsors the Hi-Y, helps in the office, and he can tell you anything you want to know about anything you want to know about (if he knows). In 213 we find Mrs. Montgomery, a very busy woman, for she directs all dramatic productions in the school. Way up on the third floor in his corner, we find Mr. Melin attempting to guide the faltering footsteps of this wilful generation on the road to wisdom and prosperity. Close by is Miss Neville, who teaches English and penmanship to the young hope- fuls. Miss Murray 1s another teacher who lives a double life—she handles all the class and club funds; she has the “‘gimmes’’, but her pleasant manner offsets that. This year Mrs. Ervin and Miss Lidke are new sponsors for the Dixit and Sem re- spectively. They certainly deserve a vote of appreciation for their efforts. Many future husbands will praise Miss Beatty for having taught their wives to make over their last year’s frocks. Miss Lewis deserves more credit than she receives for furnishing us with hot soups in the lunch room throughout the winter months. Apparently Miss Milks is a great inspiration to her session room, because they carry off all of the honors at ticket sales and magazine subscription drives. FE: ghteen ==YPNI ORE Miss Blekking’s slender figure makes her an exception to the rule that “travel Broa- dens one’, for she has been abroad and is going again this summer. Down on the first floor we discover Mr. Osgood. He is a bold, bad man in spite of his serene and calm countenance. Why the man dissects poor little helpless bugs! Oh, girls! Close by we find Miss Patterson, too. She tries to impart her creative impulses to her art students. What a job! Which reminds us (we wonder why?) of Mr. Ivens. He has a great interest in radio (as well as art). He may perfect television. Who knows! Around the corner on the same floor with Mr. Ivens we find Mrs. Bulkley laying a firm foundation for the English language. Mr. Childs’ life ambition is to take an atom apart to find out what makes it go. In the auditorium during the first hours we can see Mr. Barnhill waving his arms and singing (?) at the top of his voice, “Da, de, da, da”, by way of inspiring the band boys to greater effort. Showing our girls how to become lithe and slim, Miss Hammock does her daily doz- ens in the Gym. Words by which ye shall know them: Mr. SCHIMEL: “What’sa matter with your head?” Miss YATES: ‘Sound your A!” Mr. DickERT: ‘Why doesn’t this thing run?” Mr. SCHAEFFER: ‘‘Now get a load of this!” Mr. Foy: “Hurry up! Hurry up!’ And last, but certainly not least, we have Mr. Best about whom we could tell many things. Let it suffice to say that he will go down in history as having inspired each Senior of the Class of ’32 to read something in the newspapers besides funnies. M. H. and W. G.

SENIOR? CRASS T IS WITH GREAT pleasure that I place before your mind’s eye a picture of the mighty Seniors of ’32. Behold them in this impressionistic sketch—tall and short, fat and thin! We started the year out in the approved manner by entertaining the Sophomores with a reception.At this event we proved ourselves to be royal entertainers—the proud “parents” of dutiful “babies.” “The Big Idea’ really was a grand idea. This was the play chosen by the class, and presented by a very talented and capable group of actors and actresses. Jack Godley won the oration contest and represented our Alma Mater in the Sub- District Contest. | The annual All-School Comedy was again aided by the never-failing co-operation and diversified talents of our class. Would that we might have a picture ten years hence of the class heroes and hercines, directors and instructors, who are only waiting an opportunity to make the world recog- nize them. But have patience. Their dreams of fame will all materialize. Never let it be said that the Class of °32 was called upon in vain!

Thirty-seven Thirty-eight PNI DIXIT YPNE DEXIT Fistor, Of Web Ce co CF. 32: EPTEMRER 10, 1928, marked the organization of one of the most stable and advanced abet in the history of Ypsilanti High School. There were at the time of organization 139 stockholders. These supporters of the corporation elected as their leaders Wilton Ward, President; Frank Freeman, Vice-President; Nancy Newton, Sec- retary; and Marion Howard, Treasurer. The market had not been opened but a very short time before several advances had been made by the “32” stock. First it went up 3 points for a second in the spelling contest, only to make a larger jump of 7 points for a first and third in the short stor y. In declamation there was no fluctuation, and only a slight rise of 1 point in track. The next rise was 5 points in swimming for a first place, to be followed by 4 points more for second places in baseball and basketball. A later advance of 2 points finished all fluctu- ations for the first year. The stock was inactive for the remainder of the year, closing with a total rise of 18 points, which gave a fourth place for the Board of Education Cup. Although a rise of 18 points was nothing stupendous, it proved the “32’’ stock would be a serious contender for the Cup in the next few years if the action of the “bears” could be curbed, and if the ‘‘bulls” would only start operating. The second year in the history of the ‘Corporation of ’32” started with an election of a new board of directors, and a sharp rise in the value of the stock on the market. The directors were: President, Ellis Adams; Vice-President, Madeline Pullen; Secretary, Gerald Fulford; and Director of Finance, Joe Korbel. 1929 was boom year for the “32’’ stock. It started on the “up” the very first deal, rising 5 points for a first in spelling, soon another 5 points for a first in the short story, and later 8 points more for a first and second in declamation. Hereafter the rise was steady, but more gradual, going up 3 points for a second in track. By this time the pressure of the ‘32’ stock was felt throughout the market. It was now known to be one of the most stable and one of the most advanced stocks on the books. This belief was strengthened when it again went up 2 points for a third in swimming, and another 2 points for a third in baseball. The girls now came forward and proved to be “bulls” on the market by advancing the “32” stock 5 points for a first in basketball, followed by a second in track for an additional 3 points. After the latter transaction the market was closed until the following September. In a survey of the four competing companies it was found that at the end of the year the “32” stock had reached the highest constant level. In view of this the Board of Education Cup was awarded the ‘‘32’s” for their earnest effort. As I previously stated, the market reopened in the September following. With the reopening, the “Corporation of 32” had a stockholders’ meeting and again chose a new board of directors. This time Robert Dailey was chosen as President, Kearney Atkinson as Vice-President, Dorothy Brewer as Secretary, and Frank Freeman as Comptroller of Currency. The ‘32” stock didn’t become active with the opening of the market, due to the action of a ‘“‘bearish’’ element. There was no deviation in price until the third big Thirty-nine Sy — deal on the market, which was in swimming, where it went up 5 points for a first place. However, after the ice was broken, the stock remained on a constant trend upward, rising 5 points for a first in track, 6 points for two seconds in basketball and volley ball, and still another 10 points for two first places in basketball and tennis. The constant rises caused not a little alarm and uneasiness to the other corporations, who were in danger of being greatly outdistanced. But the year closed with smaller advances, as the “32” stock only advanced a total of 18 more points, due to a second in baseball, third in tennis, first in hockey, first in swimming, and a second in track. Although the yearly audit disclosed a rise of 3.5 more points than the preceding year, making a total of 46-14 points, this was not sufficient to capture the Board of Education Cup, as the rival “Corp- oration 33” had a slightly higher number of points. Nevertheless the corporation felt somewhat compensated for the loss of the Cup by an important step which was made in the advancement of the order of business. The ‘32’ Corporaticn inaugurated the idea of having the Sophomore and Junior Corporations sponsor the Senior Corporation farewell, thus changing a long-standing tradition. And now we come to the last year of the corporation’ s history. The “Corporation of 32” had established a marvelous record in the past three years. The fourth year mere- ly served to strengthen and build up the record to much stronger proportions. For at the very first the stock, which was now divided among 98 stockholders, rose 5 points for a first in spelling, only to be advanced another 5 points for a first in the oration. The girls next added 4 points for a second in hockey and a fourth in volley ball. Six points was the total of the next two rises for a second in both boys’ and girls’ basketball, to be followed by a 7 point rise for a second in swimming. I regret to say that at the time of this printing, the annual audit is not complete, but for the time for which we have the figures it is clear that the “32” stock is again at the peak of the market, proving a formidable adversary to any opponent. It is reason- able to expect that the few remaining transactions will add to the value of the stock, and we close with the thought that the “Corporation of 32” has participated in each and every line of high school endeavor, and has attained a standing which can be looked upon with pride by those who have helped achieve these honors.

Forty-six See PNET DIXIT Emil | hve Oct BEEORE hee: AN OPEN DOE AND NO aVieNeC ANE SHeN oT” The bells of June are ringing As forever the bells have done When the class day call is sounded And the goal, long sought, is won; When lad and lass, their school days past, March down these aisles once more; When parent and friend and all who attend Are grouped by our open door. Behold, is an open doorway, So saith the Holy Book, And no man’s hand shall close it, Forever beyond we may look; And the vista fair is of pastures rare And harvests that gleam with gold, Awaiting the hand, the strength to command Its hidden wealth to unfold. Let the earth be worn and weary With struggle and care and pain; As sure as the magic of Springtime Or the healing touch of the rain, Is the promise in store through the open door, Of honors, e’en yet unwon; And the vision, rose-red, in happiness bred, Says; “Come to me daughter, son.” “Come here for the fields are waiting, Come here for myriad the tasks, Come here with your youth and your gladness!” These are the things that she asks. And hand in hand, through that gladsome land, We shall go to the duties that wait, While the vision reveals all the need that she feels For us, in her glorious estate. There are temples yet to be builded When these shall have crumbled away: There are questions of law to be answered In the light of another day: And he who has lain on his bed of pain Must needs have a healing hand From doctor or nurse, who will lessen the curse Of sickness, from land to Lind. Fo rty-seven I ! i} Forty-erght YPNI DIXIT There are souls whose needs have been nurtured By patient preacher or priest, Men who have grown aweaty, Men whose labors have ceased ; There are mission lands by scorching sands, Or ‘neath frigid winter sun, Where the task remains as the worker wanes; In sooth, it has just begun. The world must always be guided; Just a few are chosen to lead; Just a few bear the banner of progress; Just a few respond to its need; And if you be one to whom duty will come Lay not the sceptre down; Shoulder your load to the end of the road, Though diamonds or thorns be the crown. The books that are yet to be written Must come from the people who know Of the wonderous beauty of living And joy in the power to grow; Their message sublime must reach to all time, A gift by Divinity sent, A gift they have used and have wisdom diffused, For talents are but to us lent. The earth must yield of her treasures For ever and ever and aye; The hands that now garner her substance Will relinquish their tasks of today; The fragrant fields, the wealth of their yields, Waft incense, ‘tis nature’s prayer, Pleading to all of you answering her call, That you may be happy there. There are lowly tasks awaiting, Unheralded and unsung; No pomp, no stilted homage, No glorious praise, far flung; Just the morn and the noon, and then all soon The quiet veil of the night; Just the time called today, some work and some play; Yet Life wears a halo of light. YPNI DIXIT And deep in the depths of the spirit Are dreams for the dreamer to dream; We have builded by the vision Of him who has caught the gleam; By story, by song, he expiates wrong And the cup of life is made sweet, A dreary day takes on brightness of May; All pleasures for us seem meet. There are homes to be built in the future Red-tiled o'er gleaming white walls; The roses that bloom in the garden Betoken the friendship that falls, When the keystone, respect and honor, reflect A serenity sacred and fine; A love that is true, year by year grows anew Until it is all but Divine. Oh, say not the fields are empty, That the work is finished and done; Say not the earth is o’er crowded, And that every laurel is won; That no glistening peak one yet can seek To scale, or that every sea Is chartered and known by those who have gone Where the waves run wild and free. As long as the stars effulgent Shall glisten and glimmer and shine, As long as the mountains hoary, Stand symbols of endless time, So long shall the earth give each age a new birth And christen with morning dew, The youth of the world with its banner unfurled And high hopes kindled anew. Dear classmates, we soon shall be leaving, Beholdeth, the door open wide; Refuse not the portal, wide swinging, Refuse not, for there life abides. Turn your face to the morn for there hope is born, And arching the sunrise glow, A rainbow appears, beckoning us, down the years, To that beautiful land that we know.

This Trophy is a silver cup presented to Ypsilanti High School by the Class of 1922, and given each year to the highest qualifying senior on the basis of entire high school record in journa- listic and speech activities. The cup was earned this year by Donald Stadler with a total of seven points—one for being school editor of the Sem in 1931, three for being Editor-in-Chief of the Sem in 1932, and three for debate team membership in 1931-32. Winning the local extemporaneous speech eliminations qualified him to earn three additional points for being our school representative in inter-school extempore contests. For financial reasons the State Extempore Contests were not held in Michigan this year, so in this respect at least Donald Stadler was a champion without a cause, and his total literary points remain at seven instead of ten.

Seventy-one Elaine Holden Lois Wiese Donald Stadler Isabel Mitchell Jack Godley CONTEST WINNERS Ypsilanti High School offers five major literary contests each year. Of these, the declamatory and short story contests are open to Freshmen and Sophomores. Elaine Holden, a Sophomore, won first place in the declamatory contest with “You Are the Hope of the World’, and represented Ypsilanti in the sub-district contest, winning third rank in competition with six other schools. The Freshman class carried off the short story honors for the second consecutive year when Lois Weise presented ‘Providence’, a skillful story of depression and triumph over despair, for first place. Juniors: and Seniors are eligible for oratorical and essay fame, while any member of the upper four grades may enter the extemporaneous speech contest. Donald Stadler, a Senior, ranked first in the extemporaneous speech contest with a discussion of ‘‘Freedom for the Philippines.” Isabel Mitchell, a Junior, placed first in the essay contest with “As I See Her’’, a character sketch of one of her teachers. The laurels in the oratorical contest were won by Jack Godley, a Senior, with “A Verdict Wanted”, a masterful plea for future peace. 1952 Seventy-two YPNI DIXIT Ruth Holleran George Staebler Mr. Heyman Donald Stadler Marion Howard DEBATE TEAM Under the coaching of Mr. Heyman our varsity debate team, consisting of Marion Howard, Ruth Holleran, Donald Stadler, and George Staebler, backed by the reserve team, Garnet Davis, Helen Tewell, and Helen Tripp, were able to bring home the laurels from two out of four league debates. The reserves had- eleven different debates, meeting Adrian, Lincoln, Northville, Plymouth, River Rouge, and Roosevelt several times. Our first league debate was on November 13, when Marion Howard, Ruth Holler- an, and Donald Stadler met Adrian, to be victorious with a two to one decision. On November 18, our team—Marion Howard, Donald Stadler, and George Staebler—were defeated at Northville by three to nothing. At Detroit St. Theresa on January 8, we were again defeated by a two to one vote of the judges. However we won our fourth debate, which was with Fordson here on January 22, with a three to nothing vote from the judges. In the first two league debates our team had the affirmative, while in the last two we upheld the negative side of the question, ‘‘Resolved: That the State of Michigan should enact legislation providing for a system of Compulsory Unemployment Insurance.” Much of the material used by our team was taken from a book on Unemployment Insur- ance written by our coach, Mr. Heyman. At a High School Assembly medals were given the varsity debaters, and honorable mention was made of the reserve team. 1992 Seventy-three YPN DIXIT First Row—Robert Shepherd, Patricia Rust.

Twenty-two years ago frater- nities were abolished from high schools by a state law; consequently the staff was re- organized to make a purely school paper, and the name was changed to Ypsi Sem in memory of the Seminary that stood on the site of our present building nearly a century ago. No further changes were made until in 1928, when two staffs replaced the one that had previously edited both the Dixit and the Sem. This year, because of lack of funds, the usual four printed pages issued every two weeks were decreased to a two-page mimeographed copy appearing weekly. Though it was difficult to make a successful paper out of this, the staff, with Don Stadler as editor- in-chief, has pepped up the Sem with interesting last-minute news and added a useful calendar of events for the coming week.

YPSE Oia: The Dixit Staff witnessed a new advisory board this year. Under the direction of Mrs. Ervin and Mr. Joseph Ivens, the new student members stepped into the shoes of the outgoing staff with the determination to prove themselves worthy successors. After attending the Michigan Interscholastic Press Association meetings in Ann Arbor in December, we settled down to work in earnest with a staff meeting scheduled for every Monday afternoon. Our association together has been most harmonious and enjoyable, and we present the result of our efforts to the faculty and student body of Ypsi High with the hope that they will find so many things of interest in this year’s Dixit that our many short- comings in the journalistic field may be overlooked. | Seventy-five YPNI DIXIT First Row—E.

It has provided the opportunity for a start in musical education, besides furnishing the proper training in cooperation and citizenship. Concerts have been given at home and in surrounding communities and, as a marching band, it has served the school and city on various occa- sions. In addition to the main band, there is an auxiliary group of beginners numbering about twenty-five pieces. Next year this group will take an active part in the music de- partment. The officers of the band for the present year are: Ellis Adams, President; Robert Dailey, Vice-President; Lee Feldcamp, Secretary-Treasurer; Martin Dawson, Student Manager; LaVerne Curry, Librarian; Edwin Terrall, Drum Major; Harold Terrall, Assistant Drum Major. 1952 . eventy-Six YPNI DIXIT Front Row Second Row Morhous, Bibbins, Tefft, Stuky, V.

Besides frequent appearances on assembly programs, music has been furnished for three of the high school Parent-Teacher Association meetings, and for the March 17th meeting of the Prospect group of this organization. An appearance at Woodruff School in February assisted that school in a Washington Bi-Centennial Assembly program. Music was also furnished for the annual Senior Play. The orchestra co-operated with the Chorus in presenting the operetta, “Young Han- del of Hanover” on May 6th.

Thanksgiving music was also furnished for the November meeting of the high school Parent-Teacher Association. Music for the Christmas Season consisted of specially selected choruses including, “A Joyous Christmas Song’’, Gevaert; ‘“The Shepherds’ Story’, Dickinson; ‘‘Adoramus Te’, Palestrina; “Beautiful Saviour’, Christiansen, as well as the more familiar carols. In February the music for the Washington Bi-Centennial included appropriate music by the Chorus. The annual operetta was staged on May 6th. ‘Young Handel of Hanover’ by Bos- well and Parks was chosen for this year’s presentation. It proved to be a worthwhile work, and showed the ability of many students to advantage. Seventy-eight YPN DIXIT First Row—D. Dunlap, Haig, Arnet, Sweet, Godley, M. Stackable, Metevier, Snow, D.

DRAMATIES GLUB The Dramatics Club, under the able guidance of Mrs. Montgomery (known to some students as ““Monty’’), has weathered the storms and blasts of the school year 1931-32. And what a year! Each member of the club has had to take part in at least one play during this period. We have learned that it is necessary to coax some members to dis- play their histrionic talents, while others are always ready to volunteer or to do what they are asked. Our director, Louis Metevier, has proved his worth by his ability to quiet us without the aid of tear gas bombs, or other police paraphernalia. Many interesting meetings have been enjoyed by the members. Among the worth- while things were a talk by Miss McCrickett on “Green Pastures’, which she had seen, and several talks by Mrs.. Montgomery upon plays and players. A Pot-luck supper was enjoyed in the fall, and a dance (almost a dinner dance) was given in the spring. The other meetings were given over to plays produced by the members. Those in the first play of the year, thinking it was necessary, learned their parts only to find out that the rest of the plays were read. But as a reward for such effort, the cast has since been asked to give this play at no less than four public gatherings. The members of the club have found their bi-weekly meetings both profitable and enjoyable. We sincerely hope that next year’s club will be a success, but we know that it cannot be as great a success as we have been.

AGRICOIE SE Chee The Agricolae Club, organized in 1916, has the distinction of being the oldest club in Ypsilanti High School. Those interested in Agriculture are eligible for membership. Each semester new officers are elected in order that everyone may “Learn to do by doing.” which is the club motto. The present officers are Jane Oliver, President ; Charles Trowbridge, Vice-President; Howard Mosher, Secretary; Joe West, Treasurer. Guided by our advisor, Mr. Osgood, the club has sponsored the following activities this year: the Alumni Banquet, held April 22 in the lunch room, followed by a very interesting program; a series of high school movies, in the Auditorium; the serving of refreshments at the Rural Night meetings; Guest Night for the Seventh and Eighth Grades from rural schools, held in May, and followed by a program and refreshments; and finally, the teachers of the high school were guests at a picnic held at Recreation Park during the latter part of the year.

It is only three years old in Michigan, and Ypsilanti is proud of the fact that it was granted Charter No. 1. There are four degrees of rank in the club membership—the Green Hand, the Fut- ure Farmer, the State Farmer, and the American Farmer. The first two are obtained in the local chapter, while the third is obtained at the annual meeting in East Lansing as the result of an election based on outstanding achievement with project work, leadership and scholarship. The State Farmers in the Ypsilanti club are Charles Gill, °30; Earl McKim, 31; and George Staebler, ’32. Under the leadership of their sponsor, Mr. Osgood, the club is very active in both the school and community. The outstanding event of this year was the Community Fair held in the High School in October. Over twenty-five hundred people attended the two- day fair, and enjoyed the exhibits, lectures, and entertainments. The following activities will be found indicative of the diversified interests of the club. It sent ten of its members to Chicago to the International Live Stock Exposition in November; sponsored the weekly Rural Night meetings held in the school during March and April; entertained Milan, Lincoln, Belleville and Manchester at the County Association Meeting in April for a day and evening mixer and initiation; had both an organized basketball and baseball team which came through both contests undefeated ; aided the local Issac Walton League in raising and releasing Ring Neck pheasants; spon- sored the F. F. A. Father and Son Banquet; cooperated with the Washtenaw Fair and won many cash prizes; tested many samples of milk, soil and seeds for the farmers; aided the school games by selling all the candies and popcorn. 1992 Eighty-one YPNI DIXIT First Row—Sanderson, M.

SODAHTAS: LATINA The Sodalitas Latina organized this year with a membership of twenty-five. En- thusiastic sophomores constituted a large proportion of the membership. At the second meeting of the year the following officers were elected: Praeses, Ruth Sanderson; Pro- praeses, Edward Kulhawik; Scriba, Bella Freed; Quaestor, Molly Freed. Regular meetings were held the first Tuesday of each month. At this time literary programs were presented, and the necessary business transacted. During the year a Latin play in costume was given. Details of Roman life and dress were studied by lantern slides. The library class invited the club to one of its programs on ancient Roman li- braries and books. The social meetings of the club were varied by singing Latin songs and playing Latin games. 1992 Eighty-two YPNI DIXIT First Row—Rust, Parsons, LeCureux, Davis, Harris, Brown, Dieter, Thorn, Tewell, Thompson, Leach, Eddy.

During the year the club has met every other Thursday evening. The place of meeting was the Music room of the high school. Several outside speakers have been enjoyed by the club. Among these were Miss ( Nancy Ford, who related interesting experiences which she had had in Algeria and Paris; | Mr. Foy, who told of his European trip; and Mr. Heyman, who spoke of his contacts with French people in Mexico, Switzerland, and France. French songs and games have enlivened many meetings, and various members have given talks about different phases of French life. A pot-luck supper and a picnic were the club’s social events of the year. Eighty-three YRS kh EEE Front Row—Becker, Downend, E. Adams, Mr. Sabourin, Godley, Dailey, C. Adams, Freeman, Rose.

Sabourin, reorganized in September by electing Jack Godley as presiding officer, assisted by Robert Dailey, Ellis Adams, William Downend, and Charles Adams. Mr. Melin was elected honorary member of the club. We have a membership of sixteen boys who are selected from the student body be- cause of their good character and high general rating in the school. This group has been active in promoting the magazine sales for the student council, putting on an Arm- istice Day assembly program, and sponsoring pep meetings for the football team. The club also sponsored the All Man Two-Bit Banquet in May. Ypsilanti High School was represented in the Michigan Older Boys’ Conference during the Thanksgiving vacation by Charles Adams, Jack Godley, Ellis Adams, and Gerald Fulford, who took part in the forum groups and discussions. The climax of the Conference was the address by Dr. Fisher of Ann Arbor. The high light of the club’s social activities was the Beach Party held in the high school natatorium. The club is not centered upon social entertainment, however, but strives to promote good fellowship among the students, to broaden a boy’s contacts, and to enable him to see fairly and squarely the problems that confront society and the youth of today. The Hi-Y motto is: ‘‘Clean speech, Clean mind, Clean living, and Clean sports.” With this motto the boys are fitting themselves to enter society. 19952 Eighty-four YPNI DIXIT First Row—Atkinson, Jennings, E.

Nena TONOR SOCIETY The Ypsilanti High School Chapter of the National Honor Society for Secondary Schools was founded during the school year 1926-27. The purpose of the society is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in the pupils of the Ypsilanti High School. Candidates eligible for election must stand in the upper third of their respective classes, and shall have spent at least one year in Ypsilanti High School. Only Juniors and Seniors are eligible. Each member is entitled to wear the emblem adopted by the National Honor Society. If an active member falls below the basic membership stan- dards, he is dropped from the Chapter, and is compelled to return the emblem to the president of the Chapter. The present membership of the society numbers twenty; since the organization in our school, there have been fifty-eight students accepted into membership. 19924 Eighty-five YPNI DIXIT SENMOR Fir y As the major dramatic production given by the Senior Class, the play, “The Big Idea’, was presented on November 19 and 20 in the Ypsilanti High School Auditorium. This is a modern three-act play which centers around the efforts of a son to make enough money to replace the amount his father borrows secretly from the bank of which he is the president. The daughter's house guest and the son put their heads together and write a play which they sell in time to save the father’s reputation. Of course the young couple fall in love, and everything turns out very happily. In order to use more characters, two casts of girls were selected. They were Mar- garet Woliung and Marion Nepodal, who took the part of Elaine Foster, Elsie’s chum; Loreen Bayler and Winifred Grant, as Elsie Howard; Mary Stackable and Virginia Lee Rice, as Mrs. Howard; Georgian Dunlap and Margaret Johnston, as the maid. In the single cast of boys were the following: Worden Geer, playing the part of Mr. Howard ; Robert Dailey, that of Richard Howard, the son; Louis Metevier, as Bob Caswell, Rich- ard’s insurance-selling pal; Richard Derry, who supplied some comedy in his role of Byrne, a teller in Mr. Howard’s bank; Harold Casler, as Gilmore, the producer who bought the play; Gerald Fulford, as Bingham, Gilmore’s assistant; and Gerald Millage, as Jim, the office boy. Committee Chairmen were: property, Frank Freeman; stage, Milan McKenna; tickets, Kearney Atkinson; publicity, Jack Godley; make-up, Julia Eddy; ushers, Ruth Mowry; program, Thelma Crittenden. Mrs. Montgomery directed the play, and music was furnished by the Ypsilanti High School Orchestra under the direction of Miss M. Anita Yates.

STUDENT COUNCIL October 7th. marked the beginning of the work of the Student Council for the year 1931-32. The officers chosen by the group were Frank Freeman, President; Kear- ney Atkinson, Vice-President ; Gerald Fulford, Treasurer; and Betty Thompson, Secretary. The early meetings of the year were concerned, as. usual, with the purchase and sale of Budget tickets. These were sold to both senior and junior divisions of the school. The first party sponsored by the council was the sophomore reception which was held in October. A Christmas party was also carried out very successfully. The biggest event of the year was the annual high school comedy. Apart from an opportunity for effective working on the part of different organizations, this was successful from the financial angle, netting the council over seventy-five dollars. Athletic letters were award- ed to swimming, basketball, football, track, golf and tennis men, as well as to the cheer leaders chosen by the council. This year the council has been influential in putting on several interesting programs. One of especial interest was given by Gene Gros and his French marionettes. They depicted several scenes from the life of George Washington. The council members consider this a very successful year, and unite in wishing an equally resultful one to the council of next year. Eighty-seven reer Kas abs YPNI DIXIT Pui SCmCO COMEDY The second annual Ypsilanti High School Comedy was given February 25th. under the sponsorship of the Student Council. The primary object of this production is to unite the different classes and organizations in the school in a group whose aim is the promotion of school spirit; the secondary object is the raising of funds for school needs. From a diversified program of acts, including songs, dances, freaks, characterizations, bands, and radio performances, the following organizations were given awards: First Place, Girls’ Athletic Club, for an act of songs and dances entitled “It Pays to Adver- tise’; Second Place, High School Dance Orchestra; Third Place, Sophomore Class, for an act reminiscent of kindergarten days entitled ‘Typical Tiny Tots”. Honorable mention should be made of the Eighth Grade’s clever take-off on radio broadcasting in their “Ku Ku Hour’ and of the ‘Music Rack” by the Seventh Grade, which was unique in its stagecraft.

His points totaled 28, with George Jackson as a close second with 25 psints. These points are based upon the stu- dent’s participation in the different forms of athletics. Three points are counted for the varsity team; two for the reserve team; and three for being chosen captain. This system is being used in many of the schools in Michigan. Our school was one of the first to adopt it. Most of our all-sport men look forward eagerly to this award, hoping their points will top the ones of their team mates. The decision is made by Mr. Wiltse and Mr. Foy. We wish to congratulate Walter upon his stick-to-it-iveness and success during the four years with Ypsi High. Ninety-four YPNI DIXIT!

The Purple and Gold won two, lost two, and tied three of their games. In the opener with Ann Arbor the team played very well, considering its lack of practice, but was forced to bow to the more experienced aggregation with the tally exactly the same as that of last season—25 to 0. The following week the squad decided to get down to business and succeeded in scaring Ecorse with a 70 yard run by Korbel, but failed to supply the winning punch, eing obliged to be content with a scoreless tie. Two weeks after the Ecorse game Ypsilanti had to put up an unexpectedly hard fight in order to eke out a 14 to 6 victory over Saline High. This was the third consecutive game away from home and the team was a little overconfident because of the decisive victory of last year over the smaller eleven. | Next on the schedule was the long-waited-for game with Roosevelt, the most im- pertant conflict of the season. Although Roosevelt was outplayed most of the game, Ypsi scoring on a march from midfield in the first quarter, they took advantage of a break to knot the count 7 to 7. The Ypsi gridmen met their first bad defeat on the new field when they encountered River Rouge and were overwhelmed 46 to 0. In the last contest on the schedule, which was with Wayne, our eleven showed a better defense, but were halted in their offensive efforts, the game ending in another 0 to O tte. To end their 1931 activity, the Ypsi players met Belleville in a post-season game for charity, and won 19 to 0.

BASKETBALL The students at Ypsilanti High can boast of a successful basketball squad for the season of 1931-32. The team chalked up nine wins and six defeats. In the opening game the Ypsi thinclads proved superior to their traditional basket- ball Nemesis, Wayne, and showed promise of an auspicious season. Ypsi High 23; Wayne 17. However, the next night Ypsi met University High, and was defeated by the smooth- working Ann Arbor quintet. The visitors’ clever guarding proved too much for Ypsi’s attack. Ypsi High 8; University High 18. Not at all daunted by this setback, the squad started in on a winning streak by over- whelming a much inferior aggregation from Monroe. Ypsi High 18; Monroe 1. Not at all daunted by this setback, the squad started in on a winning streak by overwhelming a much inferior aggregation from Monroe. Ypsi High 18; Monroe 1. The following week Ypsi, although off form, won a decisive victory over its lesser opponent, Saline. Ypsi High 22; Saline 11. In the Alumni game the Ypsi players proved that they were better than the former Ninety-six rn named ee } YPNI DIXIT ‘stars’. The graduates made quite a contest of it in the first part of the game, but Ypsi held them back and eventually triumphed. Ypsi High 18; Alumni 15. Dearborn turned out to be another stumbling block for Ypsi, and, despite the fact that Dearborn’s playing was not up to par, Ypsi seemed to be still more off form. Ypsi High 11; Dearborn 22. Wayne was too aggressive in the attempt to avenge its earlier defeat, and Ypsi won the game because of the advantage of a greater number of foul shots. Ypsi High 14; Wayne 11. When Dearborn came here for the return contest, the Ypsi boys were ready and waiting, and proved themselves to be much superior by meting out a defeat to their for- mer conquerors. Ypsi High 28; Dearborn 11. Very few of the Ypsi High students were in doubt as to the ultimate result of the annual Roosevelt battle, yet the team had some anxious moments before they sent their up-the-hill rivals home vanquished again. Ypsi High 31; Roosevelt 25. The Ypsi quintet succeeded in making the Lansing Eastern five do their utmost to eke out a one-point victory. Ypsi High 16; Lansing Eastern 17. Ecorse did not prove to be a very serious threat, and Ypsi was therefore furnished with another victory. Ypsi High 17; Ecorse 12. Ypsi High met a second one-point defeat when River Rouge was encountered. Ypsit High 15; River Rouge 16. The squad put up a stiff fight when they met Ann Arbor High, but despite their efforts the inevitable occurred, Ypsi losing the game. Ypsi High 11; Ann Arbor 40. Wayne was easily beaten for the third time by Ypsi High in the first game of the Regional Tournament. Ypsi High 28; Wayne 17. The Purple and Gold’s 1931-32 career was ended by Blissfield in a close game. Ypsi High 21; Blissfield 24.

SWIMMING The 1931-32 swimming squad has been one of the strongest in Ypsi High’s swim- ming history. The team lost one, tied two, and won six of the dual meets; and although they did their best at the State meet, the swimmers lost the Class B Crown, which they had held for two years, by a close decision. First honors in the meet went to Rivet Rouge with 39 points against 33 points by Ypsilanti. | The first meet of the season, with University High, ended in a tie—32 to 32—and the Ypsi swimmers won their first victory when they encountered Wyandotte. The score was 44 to 20. In the second meet with University High, Ypsi captured all but two of the places, defeating the Ann Arbor team 48 to 27. Ypsi also succeeded in triumphing over Ann Arbor High, a class A school, in a very close contest, 34 to 30. A second 32-32 tie was the result of the next meet with the strong River Rouge team. The Ypsi High natators’ only defeat in a dual meet was suffered at the hands of the Jackson team—score 38 to 37. The annual swimming battle with Roosevelt did not turn out to be much of a battle, as Ypsi swamped its rival 55 to 9; the Royal Oak squad was easily defeated by Ypsi, 45 to 19; and Fordson was conquered by our swimmers in bringing the dual meet sched- ule to a successful close—45 to 30. Frank Freeman, Jack Godley, Allison Gable, and Walter Breed will be lost by graduation. They deserve great credit for their service to the team and the school—es- pecially Frank Freeman, honorary captain, who has been most valuable to the success of the squad. 19924 Ninety-ei ght YPN DIXIT Front Row—Perdue, Spencer, Nanry, Jackson, Wales, Dewey Ehle, Starks, Adams, Renton, Zeigler.

TRACK The 32 track team started the season with high hopes, although scheduled to meet stronger teams than usual, and the well-balanced squad has done well in spite of these teams. Ypsi won all of the field events and captured three places in the 100 and 220 yard dashes and 120 yard low hurdles to beat Wayne 79 to 25. Eight out of twelve first places were taken by Ypsi—Wilson Backer winning both hurdle races—when Plymouth was defeated 7314 to 3014. But the Ypsi trackmen were compelled to lose a one-sided meet to River Rouge, 77 to 27. Although winning half of the first places on the track, Ypsi could not make the grade in the field events in the Dearborn meet, thereby losing it 62 to 42. By defeating Ecorse 82 to 22, the Ypsi thinclads won their third victory in the Twin Valleys Associa- tion competition, where George Jackson bettered his state record in running the 440 yard dash in 52.8 seconds. The first Twin Valleys Association championship meet was held the following week at Alumni Field. Here the Ypsi team was forced to be content with third place, the stronger teams from River Rouge and Dearborn taking first and second places respec- tively. A good showing is expected in the Regionals, the State and ‘the Roosevelt meets which will bring the season to a close. The track team will suffer a serious loss when George Jackson, star dash man and honorary captain, graduates this year. Besides setting several records in the quarter mile, George has been outstanding in the short dashes and in the relay. Roget Cline, broad- jumper, and George McCann, weight man, will be missed next season.
