Their advice and ideas have been a great asset to our class. Without their hard work and expert supervision, our senior year could not have been as rich and full as it has been. The class of nineteen hundred and fifty is very proud of both our present and our past class officers. The time and effort of these officers is not without its accom- plishments. They are leaving an excellent record of service and achievement. Our of- ficers have always been outstanding members of the class. They have been elected not only for their friendliness but also for scholarship, character, and leadership. The past officers of the class have done their work well. The foundation for our senior year, with all its various activities, was well laid by them. This year, taking over where they left off, Dale Schaffer, Viola Evanoff, Bonnie Martin, and Mary Scheffler have very suc- cessfully carried on the many complex problems of managing our senior year.

The Ypsilanti High School chapter of the National Honor Society was founded in 1926. Since that time 373 members, chosen by a highly selective system, have been admitted to its ranks. Our high school faculty and administration have selected these students be- cause of their excellence in Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and Service. For this reason membership is considered one of the high- est honors the school can bestow on any student. This year the members raised money at the concession stands at our football games. They used the money to start a record-film section in our school library for the use of all classes and groups. lst Row Miss, Davis, Peter Fletcher, President, Mrs. Lockwood, 2nd Row Nathan Judson, Donna Peebles, Faith Cook, Bonnie Martin, Evelyn,Sipe.

ALL SCHOOL PLAY Dinah CAnn Lurkinsj the oldest of Mrs. Carstairs three children decided her mother fMary Wildemanb had been a widow long enough. With the help of her sisters April CElizabeth'SchellingerD and Archie fRoger Walkerl they set out to find an eligible bachelor. Their first step was to give Moms next novel a big publicity break. With the sound of two shots in the neighboring house the Carstairs were put in a sinister situation. The young people quickly put themselves to work finding the murderer, but when the good looking lieutenant appeared, they-decided they could solve another problem. After find- ing that many people were trying to enter the murdered victims home they decided to give a party. During the noise and excitement they entered the house and found some very valuable clues--so valuable that their lives were threatened also. The three children not only solved the mystery but brought off the romance of their mother and Bill. 9 Aunt Emily CBonnie Martini, an invalid, had forced her nephew, Walter fNathan Judsonl, to believe he had pushed his uncle from a high window to his death. She also had a strange power over her nurse, Judith Ware CFaith Cookl, who she believed was in love with her husband. The family lawyer CPeter Fletcherl appeared too vague to suspect Emily who might receive a large sum of money from her husband's death. It was Linda fNancy Marushakl, who by loving Walter and wishing to help him, found the first clue, and Emily is forced to jump from the High Window.

It has been present at the school foot- ball games where it has given splendid instrumental performances on the field and in the grandstands. It also has presented a spring Band Concert each year. In addition to this, the band is in- cluded as a marching group inalmost all of the local parades under the direc- tion of Mr. Cavender. The last two years, the band has displayed many dif- ficult formations on the field compara- ble with those used at college games. 1st Row Marion Green, Nancy Marushak, Margaret Dixon, Betty McKinstry, Marilyn Furtney, Elda Utley, Joyce Hawkes, 2nd Row Bonnie Martin, Charline Niles, Mary Scheffler, Viola Evanoff, Mary Haas, Donna Peeble, Carol Barney, Evelyn Sipe. GIRLS' DRUM AND BUGLE CUP-.PS The unique and colorful Girls' Drtfm and Bugle Corps is one of few organizations to become known throughout the state. This marching and manuevering favorite started in 1936. Most of fifteen senior girls in the corps have been marching since their tenth grade. The corps is more than a marching and instrumental group. It has dancing talents also. The high land Fling and the Sword Dance have been well executed by the members. Officers from the senior class have been: President, Evelyn Sipe--grades 11 and 125 Secretary, Mary Scheffler--grade 11 and Mary Haas--grade 125 and Treasurer, Viola Evanoff-- grade 12. The Drum and Bugle Corps has had the distinction of being the only organization of girls to be invited by the University of Michigan to appear between halves at the Big Nine game. It also assisted in the Navy Day Observance at Grosse Ille. In 1947, the corps went to Chicago where it presented a marching performance in Soldier's Field at the Kiwanis In- ternational Convention. Other appearances of importance have been at the University of Detroit football game, in the J. L. Hudson Christmas Parade, at the Michigan State Normal College Homecoming, and for a demonstration at the M. E. A. Institute in Detroit. This year the girls marched at Port Huron, Michigan. They have marched at the Tulip Festival in Holland, Michigan, and this July, they will leave for a few days at Chicago where they will take part in a twelve mile parade for the Lions' International. The old uniforms of the corps were in such bad condition that it was necessary to pur- chase new ones. Through the constant effort of the girls and the generosity of the commu- nity, the necessary funds have been raised to buy new authenic Scotch uniforms. In addition to new uniforms, the corps has obtained four new bagpipes which make the corps outstanding. Under the direction of Mr. Cavender and Miss Wolter, the corps makes a fine appearance wherever they go and will long be remembered as an outstanding organization in Ypsilanti High School.

These four seniors for their fine efforts are to be congratulated. Cross-country is a sport which requires a great deal of endurance, SWIMMING The swimming team this year finished with one of the finest records ever made by a Ypsi High swimming team. They won 15 meets, lost l, and tied 1. They also gave a splendid performance by finishing 2nd. in the state meet. Co-Captain Floyd Warmington broke records in almost every pool he swam in. His best time of the year was 1:05:9 in the hundred yard breaststroke. l-le set a new state record of 1:06:8 in the state meet. Co- Captain Harold Duede finished 3rd in the state meet in the 100 yard free stylesas well as anchor- ing the record-breaking medley relay team of Warmington, Bill Friend, and Duede. They set a new pool record of 1:24:5 and also set a new re- cord in the preliminaries at the state meet. Dave Steimle, a transfer from Roosevelt, proved to be very valuable in both the 150 yard individual meuley at the state meet. Bill Friend and Clarence Chambers, the two backstrokers, finished 2nd and 5th respectively in the state meet as well as fin- ishing 1st and 2nd in practically every dual meet.

SALUTATUR Elda Utley Faculty, parents, and friends-- On behalf of the class of nineteen hundred fifty, I welcome you to our class night exercises. At this time we wish to thank the faculty for their guidance through the past four years. They have always been willing and ready to help us with our problems con- cerning both education and everyday living. Our deepest appreciation goes to our parents, who molded our lives and char- acters in our earlier years so that we might capably fill our places in the world. We can appreciate the efforts and sacrifices they have made to give us the education that some of them were denied. As graduation time comes, we are both proud and concerned--proud because we are the first class to graduate in the second century of the history of Ypsilanti High School, and concerned because we face an unknown world of chaos. The world of tomorrow does not have to be a world of fear and distrust. It will be what we make it. The way we handle the problems presented by the atomic bomb and the hydro- gen bomb as well as the problems that arise from racial and religious prejudice will determine whether or not the world of tomorrow will be peaceful. Throughout our school years we have studied about the other countries of the world. We have tried to understand their beliefs and convictions by learning the conditions under which the people live and the customs they follow. When you know how people live, you can understand why they believe and act the way they do. With this teaching and with the capable help of our' faculty, racial and religious prejudice has been almost entirely destroyed. We feel that we have been adequately taught how to get along with all our neighbors. We must remember these teachings when we go into the world and face the strain and stress of life. Ypsilanti High School has truly done its part to help us take our places in the world. It is now up to us to continue in the path that it has marked out for us. With the help of God, we must strive to do our best to make this world a better place in which to live. HISTUP. The history of our class, as it now stands, is not the complete history, it is only the embryo peri- od during which we were brought together and molded into a class that will develp and mature to make history by the turn of the century. This embryo peroid is not to be forgotten, for it has to a certain ex- tent already determined what type of history we shall make. As the historian of our class, I should like to take it upon myself to write the class history again fifty years from today when every student will have reached the prime of life. would follow the life of every classmate, comparing the names in our class with the great names in the world. I would entitle the first chapter, The Embryo . It would tell how our class first came together in the fall of 1946--the mixed emotions we had, varing from pride to wonderment. It would state that Miss Crothers was our class adviser and that we elected Ed Babcock as our Freshman. president. Although we were unaccustomed to high school life, we got right into the seing of things in sports and studies, as well as social events. Viola Evanoff won the Declamation Contest. By the end of the year ten of our athletes had received Varsity letters. Turning the page, we would come to our Sophomore year, listing Mr. Heyman as our class adviser, with Ed Ellis as President. Viola Evanoff again won the Declamation Contest. This year's big dance V' was the Sophomore Reception. At the end of the year we had thirty-five Varsity lettermen. The Junior year will be remembered as having Mr. Joslyn as class adviser, and Lee Wynn, Bruce Wallace, Bonnie Martin, and Charline Niles as class officers, with Russell Hines and Nancy Marushak as Student Council Representatives. Donna Peebles and Dale Schaffer became Student Council officers. Six Juniors were admitted to the National Honor Society. The Thespians admitted three into their club. This year, forty-four of our athletes received Varsity letters. Our big dance was the J -Hop. The last pages would list our Senior Class advisers: Miss Lister and Miss Inwoodg class officers: Dale Schaffer, Viola Evanoff, Bonnie Martin, and Mary Schefflerg and Student Council Representatives, Charline Niles, and Pat Whalls. The school elected Ed Ellis as President of the Student Council. Donna Peebles was chosen to receive the D.A.R. good citizenship award. John Lloyd won the Extemporary Speaking Contest. We had six members in the National Honor Society, twenty seven Thespians, many in the Girl's Athletic Club, fifteen in the Drum and Bugle Corps, five debaters, five Band members, and many lettermen. Dick Oltmanns and Peter Fletcher represented Cuba at the United Nations General Assembly at Hillsdale College. Our Senior Play, Strange Boarders, was a real success, as was our dance, the Senior Farewell, sponsored by the Juniors and Sophomores. Part l is written. The remaining chapters will be written fifty years from today. CLASS PBEM No school will ever seem so dear As Ypsilanti High, We'll proudly praise the purple and gold Until the day we die. Robert Laing Close to the heart of each of us, As through the years we go, We'll cherish every memory Without a single woe. The teachers each deserve our thanks, They're the finest in the state, And the best is wished,for all of them From those who graduate. I'm sure they've sometimes wondered If we would make the grade, As they spent those endless moments, Standing by to give us aid. Our knowledge gained by work and thought Has a value still untold, While the friendships made through these four years Are worth much more than gold. We know we used to grumble, Why must we go to school? And we wished we could get even With the ones who made that rule. Now the story is quite different As we bid good bye to all, For we cannot say as we go our way, We'll see you again next fall. Now we face a new experience, A full life lies ahead, We must choose our own vocation, We must earn our daily bread. To the students we leave behind us: May you never quit the race, But play the game both fair and square, Keep Ypsi High in first place. Robert Fo rtney DRATIUN Once a young man, a stonecutter by trade, was delivering a piece of stone to a merchant's house when he saw a large beautiful bed. Oh , thought the stonecutter, If only I could be a merchant and own a bed like that I Now the mountain spirit heard this and granted his wish. Immediately he was turned into a merchant. The next day, however, he saw a prince carried in a litter by slaves. Oh , he wished, if only I could be a prince , and his wish was again granted. Now , he thought, I am the greatest thing on earth. But as he was carried in his litter the next day, fanned by slaves, the sun beat doum on him through the canopy,and he sweltered. I wish I were the sun , and instantly he was. Now he was happy. He beat dovsm on the hills and valleys and on all men. But one day a cloud came between him and the earth. Oh, the cloud is even greater than I. I wish I were a cloud.', And he was. So he sent rain to the earth to his heart's content. Then one day he came to a mountain. The cloud poured and poured on it, but it made no difference, for the mountain stood firm. He was very sorrowful. That mountain is greater than I. If only I were that mountain. Now the moutain spirit heard him again,and he was a mountain. Now indeed, he boasted, I am the greatest of all! The following day a littl'e man climbed up the mountain with hammer and chisel and began tapping at his side. The moun- tain could not stop him and had to bear it silently. Why, that little man is greater than I. I wish I were he. Once more he became a poor stonecutter. From this time on he lived a useful life, and everyone marveled that he was always so happy and contented. My son, whispered the Almighty Father as He created John Smith, you are bigger and better than you knowf' Yes, many people are bigger and better than they know. As long as we are students, we have something to cling to. The school has been our support . In a few days we are leaving our school and the security which it has given us. For the first time in our lives, we must stand on our own two feet and begin to plan our future. I believe we can all make our lives fruitful if we will remember four things. First, we shouldir guard our minds against evil influences and ideas. We wouldn't allow evil in our homes, so why should we let evil ideas and patterns enter our minds? Second, we must rise above our surroundings and have the determination to succeed. Just because someone has more money or more opportunities thanan you or I is no reason that we cannot start from scratch and succeed just as much as he. Third, we must remember that all things are difficult before they become easy. We must take the bad with the good, and if we fail, we must try and try again. Fourth, when prosperity does come, remember not to use all of it, but conserve some for less prosperous times. By doing this we can insure our future. A boy at the age of nine came to this country. Twenty four years laier he was a radio executive. That's how long it took David Saranoff to reach his goal. We were born Americans. We have all the opportunities with few barriers. But do we have the will to try? Do we have the stamina to begin again if we fail? That is entirely up to each one of us. Let's remember the story of the stonecutter and do well the job we have, no matter what size or importance, and at the end of the next half century we may be able to look back and say to ourselves I am not insignificant, for Ihave done my small job to the best of my ability. f Viola Evanoff PRUPHBU Ed Ellis Tonight let's just sit bach and dream about the future. Let's dream it is the year 1999 and that along with the ultra imaginative new discoveries we are about to look in on a new mobile T. V. unit. Let's tune in a New York station, and listen to a relay announcer. This is Ed Ellis in Ypsilanti, Michigan, bringing you just a little closer to your fellow citizens with T. V.. Tonight let's go right into the heart of New York City and meet some new friends. We switch you now to our New York Studio. Take it away New York. This is station C. O. R. N. in New York City. In just a moment we will have you look- ing and listening in on our mobile reporter in the heart of downtown New York. There is the All-ready signal so let me introduce you to our mobile reporter I. M. Nutz. You're on the air, Mr. Nutz. Thank you, gentlemen. This is I. M. Nutz right out in front of the huge and beautiful Broadway Capitol Theatre, where the new film Strange Boarders is playing. The film has been forty-nine years in the making, so it is no ordinary film. This movie pleases three of our senses: sight, sound, and smell. That's right friends, this film actually has a wonder- ful fragrance. We are just a bit early tonight. No guests have arrived yet, but the manager is make- ing preparations for the arrival of the producer's party. The theatre, as I said before, is very large and beautiful. lt has an exotic hint of Roman artistry in its architectural appearance, with its arched entrances and beautifully decorated walls and ceiling. The manager of the theatre is that distinguished looking man right there in the tuxedo and high hat. He is none other than .Tohn Lloyd. The wonderful building was de- signed by the world- renowned architect, Nell Campbell. She also plans dog houses, which may come in handy later on. Right now the ushers are assisting in the preparation of a square of sidewalk for the producer's name and footprints. The kindly gentleman preparing the square is Mr. Peter Fletcher. Mr. Fletcher, as you know, is the chairman of the Democratic party, and as a gesture of good will and good politics, he helps out tonight. Right now we see our first guests arriving in beautiful automobiles. I can recognize the make of the utterly fascinating carg it was designed by the world famous engineer, Carol Barney. Now as they get out of their Hot Rod , we can see two familiar faces. The first to pass into our cameras beam is the world-renowned chemist, Margaret Dixon, Miss Dixon has just finished work on a new secret weapon which is a thousand times more powerful-than Bug-a-Boo or D. D. T. Right behind her is the president of the American Brick Layer's Union, Nancy Marushak. President Marushak is in New York for negotiations with the Na- tional Contractors' Association concerning laying gold bricks in the front of the new theatre. Arriving right behind them is Dr. Howard Neely, the controlling stockholder of the Ace Bubble Gum Corporation. Dr. Neely has patented the new bubble gum and is now the head man behind its expansion. With the renowned doctor this evening is Professor Elijah Rowry, psychologist from Columbia University. Professor Rowry has just completed his book entitled: quote -------- unquote. Very interesting reading, as its title implies. As these early arrivals are standing in the foyer of our exotic theatre awaiting the fabulous producer and his party, let's pause just a moment for a word from our sponsor. Friends, as you are enjoying this telecast, nothing would be more appropriate for the occasion than a nice tall glass of Corwin's satisfying Ginger Ale. Corwin's Ginger Ale is formulated by LeRoy Corwin for your refreshing comfort. Now, back to I. M. Nutz, at the Broadway Capitol ' Theatre. Hello, again, friends. A few guests have arrived by parlor-car while we were with our sponsor. There is the Boston Civic Opera singer, Margaret Allen who is taking time out from her show at Joe's Snappy Service to relax. With her this evening is the famous con- ductor of the Philharmonic Orchestra, Patrick Whalls. Approaching now is that death-defying daredevil, Bruce Vealey. Mr. Vealey deplores those cravens who go over Niagara Falls in barrels. Bruce went over in a wash basin. Oh dear, he almost got his wheel chair stuck in the wet cement. Doctors Bill Turner and Lary Batterson, of the H-Bomb Research Commission just arrived. These men are so intelligent that they deplore ignorance. They would say of a person such as I, His mind is like a negative roll of film -------- undeveloped. I just want to take a moment to say that it is a beautiful night in New York. There isn't a single cloud in the sky and the moon, which has been out all evening, is still shining brightly-. Coming up on our l.eft are three prominent executives of the United States Weather Bureau: Gloria Ashby, Marilyn Mitchell, and Dorothy Gotts. The ladies are carrying umbrel- las signifying their faith in their predictions. Approaching from our left are the three managers of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel: Herb Harden, Wendell Green, and David Blattenberger. We have our camera focused on the build- ings down the street. I think you can see the Waldorf, yes, there it is. See that huge building right over there? Well, that's not it, it's the shack next door. Coming from the right now are two of America's greatest philosophers, Darlene Grant and Larsie Mae Gray. Although very deep in thought, the ladies have apparently come to the conclusion that the sun actually does burn away,deteriorates,at the rate of 112 inch per year. The sun is only 866,400 miles in diameterg thus, you see it isn't too long before the price of sun lamps will go skyrocketing. Arriving in their Austin, which is the only thing that can get through the traffic, are the designers: Betty Wills, Rosemary Seidl, Marjorie Fuller, and Donna Peebles. Their Austin is the reason for the sign in Times Square which reads: Over these pedestrians pass the finest cars in the world. William Friend and Jack Frentner have just arrived. These men are the top men in the New York Stock Exchange. They are sometimes thought of as eccentric because they don't permit themselves any outside activities. They are really normal, they have ten fingers, just like everyone else-eight on one hand and two on the other. Two of America's greatest deep sea fishermen, Bruce Wallace and Floyd Warmington have just arrived. These men use mice for bait: they catch catfish. Coming our way now are the owners of the Big Bubble Balloon Company: Raymond Schultz, George Schweigert, and Eddie Simpson. Their business is so large that they make use of all their respiratory energy. Stepping up to our camera now is James Deck, president of the Deck Elevator Shoe Company. Most of the shoes are for his own use. Coming up on our left is America's Number One Organist and song writer, Faith Cook. She wrote the song, I Sleep in the Kitchen with My Feet' in the Hall . Stepping up to our camera is Mrs. Betty Williams Barfield, who aside from being Number One female singer of our time, holds the women's record for throwing the rolling pin. It is coincidental, of course, but her husband holds the record for the 100 yard dash. On our right are Ray Woodruff, James McGinn, Richard Kemp, and Joe Brothers, of the largest New York Photography Company. The photography business is a difficult one because all the people have so many quaint desires. One lady came to the Woodruff, McGinn, Kemp, and Brothers Studio with a picture of her son in his army un- iform. She asked them to retake the picture but remove his hat. They consented, but a couple of hours later, they called her and asked what color her son's hair was. She said, What a silly question,! When you take his hat off, you can see what color his hair is. Honoring us with her presence tonight is Miss Meriem Cogswell, the President of Pepsodent Tooth Paste and Powder Company. You've all heard the story about Meriem and using irium. Well, that has nothing to do with it, as she inherited the company. Along with Miss Cogswell are Marilyn Meersseman and June Sparrow of the Schnafu Perfume Company. It is very good perfume. You should try the college size. It will put you in a class all by yourself. Dave Steimle and Lloyd Ridenour of the Steimle and Ridenour Detective Agency have cautiously approached and tripped over the curb. They will undoubtedly be the ones to solve the Brink's robbery of Boston, for after forty-nine years of investigation not many possibilities are left. Coming our way now is the Reverend Ford McGarrity. The Reverend darns his own socks, but never will he swear at them. We are truly fortunate this evening to have with us the famous economist of the United States Government Service, Richard Oltmanns. Mr. Oltmanns says, Many things are better than the dollar bill. There are the fives, the tens, and the twenties. Along with dear Richard is one of America's greatest physicians, Dr. Marilyn Furtney. We are very lucky this evening to have a doctor with us as nine out of ten doctors are out testing Camels as the ad says. From the Food Products Industry comes Geoge Eidemueller, President of the Eidemueller Noodle Co. Poor George has oodles of noodles but no soup. Here we have three lovely lad?-es, Agnes Cooper, Joyce Davis, and Jessie Mae Varner. These ladies own the Coopdavar Flea Powder Company. Very industrious ladies- they started from scratch. Stepping into the limelight now is our own Harley Rutledge. Harley is station C. O. R. N. 'S answer to Milton Berle. Yes, sir an eye for an eye, corn for corn, Rutledge for Berle. With Harley is another comedian, but let us not say just another comedians for few can compare with Dale Schaffer. Dale has a very quaint way of inducing laughter. He applies a feather under the chin. From the music world is the renowned violinist, Richard Hurdley. The key to his success is his gentle way of handling his violin. With Mr. Hurdley is the star of stage, screen, radio, and the high school public address system, Marian Green, who does vocal characterization of animals. Her best is the giraffe. Approaching on their square-wheeled motor bike are the fabulous Duede Brothers, Harold and Ralph. The Duedes are New York's claim to fame in the toy industry, especial- ly in baby rattles. Here they are now-not the producer's party but the unique New York grape-vine. It was once said that an airplane could be made to travel faster than sound, but never would anything go faster than gossip. Enough of that, as here they are now, the New York Grape-vine Bonnie Martin, Joan Spannuth, Charline Niles, and Mary Haas. Coming in behind these ladies, if their idle chatter doesn't drown us out, yes, coming in is Ann Arbor's world famous tailor, Jim Fox. What could be better than to say, My suit was tailored at Fox Tent and Awning Company ? Here is our first guest from the movie world, none other than the 1998 Oscar winner John Theophilus Hill, winning his Oscar for his performance in Plastic Surgery by I. Needa Face. Another Hollywood native and also another Oscar winner for '98 is Carolyn Gambill,the star performer in the picture, Stir Crazy . We are getting quite a crowd lined up here now, and more guests are arriving all the time. Coming-in by helicopter is Pat Ketchum, the amazing test pilot. With her are the world-famous aeronautic engineers, Norma Roberts and Neva Schaffer, who invented the paper airplane which Pat has recently test fl own. Stepping from her private car is one of America's ten best-dressed women, Viola Evanoff. Miss Evanoff has her clothes fitted at Sax's ---- 5th, Avenue. Coming our way now is Hedy ---- Hedy Lamarr? ---- no, Eddie Becker, He and Jim Derry- berry are the leading psychiatrists at the New York State Hospital ------- Hope they don't see me. Stepping up now is the board of directors of the Organ Grinders, Association. They are as they appear, Nathan Judson, Clarence Chambers, Robert Voigt, and Lavell Rice. These gentlemen have been diSC11SSiHg the Problem of whether or not monkeys shall pay union dues, is so they will be required to wear union suits. If they do not pay' dues, they must form their own union be- cause these men will not stand any monkey business. I just caught a glimpse of the person but I'm pretty sure-yes it is, it's the Mayor of New York City, Mary Lou Hewitt. The Mayor is waving and smiling at the guests as she walks ing no, doubt election time is just around the corner. Coming up on our right is the world-famous criminologist, Evelyn Sipe, known now as Evelyn BUPHS- She is the 0116 who thought of the third degree. Third degree Burns they call her. With Evelyn is the new president of the A.A.A.,Betty Watling. Betty is in New York try- ing to get the insurance policy away from Evelyn Biggs. Stepping up here from Corral Number Seven are two very distinguished looking cowboys, Ward Conklin and Don Meyer. The two cowboys have brought another horse with them because they are getting tired of this one horse town. In our camera range now is the Governor of Arizona, Lee Wynn. The Governor resides in Sinking Fast , Arizona, which is just this side of Death Valley . Coming from our left is Mr. Keith Kimberly. Aside from being a multi-millionaire, he is America's most eligible bachelor. He is very popular with people. His T. V. set with the thirty inch screen does the trick. Stepping toward our camera is the famous movie producers, William McAfee. He likes New York because he likes to come out of the fog. Dodging traffic as she crosses the street comes Miss Viola Barbu, the owner of the Most Modern Beauty Parlor in New York City. For such a large and busy establishment, service is remarkably fast. If you're in by Friday, you're out by Sunday. There is the manager of the Acme Bakery, Duane Smed. This gentlemen will make some lucky girl an excellent cooking wife. Approaching on our left are two famous women baseball players-Tillie Person and Joanne Carpenter. They are the modern Dick Houtteman and Fredie Hutchison. Appearing now on our right are members of the famous New York law firm, Robert May- hawk, Herb Clearwater, Norman Welch, Wallace Helfferich, and Fred Clemons. They are here tonight for a little relaxation after a very important case concerning cheating at marbles. For their effort they received 500 crystal clear marbles. Tonight from the sports world, we have the 1999 winner of the Wanamaker Mile, Tom Bates. The only reason for running was to find out if a Wanamaker mile is the same as an American mile. Three of New York's most popular school teachers have arrived. They are Illah Heiser, Mary Harrington. These ladies have just returned after participating in an international teacher exchange. Approaching are the inventors of the new telephone, Frances and Shirley Mclntyre and Grace Mills. The new phone, instead of ringing, callsthe correct party to the phone. The voice then says Please limit your call to five minutes . That noise you have been hearing was just an automobile going by at about 125 miles per hour. Look outl Here it comes again. Why, it's none other than the Women's World Champion Auto racer, Evelyn Biggs. She can really wheel a car around. Stepping out of her private, chauf- fer-driven car is the new president of Cunningham's Drug Stores, Joyce Barstow. Here is Be-Bop-Bobby approaching on our right. Be-Bop-Bobby is the boy who brought the Be-Bop up to date and is currently playing at the Wild West Rodeo . Yes sir, Be-Bop-Bobby is known by his rea' name, Robert Laing. Coming in with Bobby is another Bobby, Bob Hale, star of the Adventures of the Thin Man . Mr. Hale is in New York to get a new sponsor as Corwin's Ginger Ale is about to give up this program. No doubt they are being out bid on the franchise. Pulling up in front of the theatre and getting out of his private car is Dr. Merlin Blackwell, expert on the divorce crisis. States Dr. Blackwell, fifty per cent of the people getting divorced are men . Startling facts! From the nation's capital, we have coming our way the Speaker of the House, Martha Conrad Kellersohn. Ladies and gentlemen, Mrs. Kellersohn is the first Speaker of the House in history. With her as Speaker filibustering has died out completely. When you have a woman at the head of the House, the Congressmen can't get a word in edgewise. Controlling stock owner of the New York Creamery, Betty McKinstry, has just stepped from her horse drawn milk wagon. As she twirls her baton, she delivers milk to the th'eatre manager. The traffic is very heavy now so most of the guests are arriving on foot. We have quite a gathering lining up at the entrance of our theatre. Walking toward our camera now is Mary Scheffler, the society lady of Europe. Says Miss Scheffler, The difference between an English girl and an American girl is the Atlantic Ocean . Coming up from our left is the World famous geologist, Professor William Jacobs. Professor Jacobs is the man who discovered sand in the Sahara Desert. Here from Miami, Florida, are the celebrated women boat racers, Delores Roberson, Carrie Madison, Marjorie Frierson, and Charlie Mae Pitts. They recently won the Nation- al Regatta with their new boat named Drift Wood. Arriving now is America's rival for Shakespeare's fame, Mr. Bob Fortney. Let me take a moment to recite just a little of his poetry: I'm a little acorn on the ground. I'm forever falling down, No one ever stops -to pick me up. Boo hoo, I'm a little nut. Yes, friends, he is truly a great poet. Miss Ellen Caroen, Mrs. Barbara Ham Williams, and Miss Joyce Hawks have just come into range. Miss Caroen, Mrs. Williams, and Miss Hawks, as all you bald people know, discovered the new hair tonic. This tonic is not devised to make hair grow, but it shrinks the scalp so that what hair is there shows up better. Approaching now is a great golfer, Donald Crittenden. Mr. Crittenden, it is said, would give his right arm for golf. Just call me Lefty. Stepping out of a taxi is John Baker, one of the ten best-dressed men of America. John is still tied to the stitching machine at Baker's Shoe Shop, 507 Emmet Street, Ypsilanti, Michigan. ----- That will be 509 for the advertising. With John is Senator Ray Mida, Dixie- crat, from the deep South. On his tour through Michigan, Senator Mida raised the question, If Michigan is so good, why is it so far from the deep South? Three beautiful ladies are approaching the camera from the left. They are none other than the three nationally known models, Lou Rene Welch, Louise Wilson, Doris Reddaway. They are currently employed here in New York at one of the larger firms where they model kiddies clothes. Over here we have the Olvmnin nhamninn diver, Paul Lindquist. Paul recently dived from a one hundred foot platform into a wet sponge. From New York's largest laundry, Harold Bermett and Keith Koch have just arrived. Incidentally, their motto is You wear 'emg we tear 'emg You soil 'emg we boil 'emg We call Mondays for your undies. Now, ladies and gentlemen, the people that we've all been waiting for--the producer, directors, and studio president have just arrived. Stepping out first is one of 'Twentieth Century Wolf's stars, Dorothy Olsen, and right behind her is the President of the Twentieth Century Wolf's Studios, Gary Woodward. Gary lends a hand as his Vice-President steps out. She is none other than Elda Utley. Following Elda is the director of this new movie, James Wilbur. Another former Oscar winner is with him. She is the greatest female star of her time, Anne Westcott. Stepping out of the automobile is Earl Sonoc, the producer of this historic movie, Strange Boarders. As they step up to this fresh block of cement, Mr. Lloyd is assisting Earl. Mr. Sonoc places his feet into the cement to leave his foot-prints forever. He is having just a little trouble retreating, however, the ladies are writing their names in the cement with their fingers. It looks as if they, too, were having a bit of trouble retracting their digits. Jim and Gary step over to help Earl. Oh no! They are all stuck in the cement. As you can see, the audience has already gone into the theatre. We've used up all our time, ladies and gentlemen, so we switch you back to Ypsilanti, Michigan. Come in Ed Ellis. Thank you, I. M. Nutz. We sincerely hope you've enjoyed this telecast as much as we've enjoyed bringing it to you. Some forty-nine years ago, some people said to me, You're a lad who is going places,' so I shall leave you.

Some of us will soon take our places in factories, on farms, and in homes. Immediately we shall become a part of the community, immediately our service will begin. Too often there is the mis- taken idea that the common laborer cannot serve to any great extent. Too often it is forgotten that the very work he is performing is a service to his fellowmen, his community, and his country, for without the farmer, the factory worker, and the common laborer no nation can exist. The rest of us will con- tinue on to college to prepare ourselves to serve further. From the ranks of the college graduates will come the doctors, the teachers, the ministers, and other professional people who will render special- ized service to their community. Regardless of the walk of life we choose, each of us will meet innu- merable opportunities to serve. I True service includes not only the greatthings we may do,but the small ways in which we aid and assist others. Michaelangelo once said, Small things make perfection, but perfection is no small thing. So it is with service, Small things make service, but service is no small thing. If we could all remember that a kind word, a smile, a helping hand, any act of Christian love is true service, then we should be aware of the tremendous amount of service each of us can render. I can think of no better way to express the importance of service than in the words of the Master when he said, Whosoever of you will be the greatest, shall be the servant of all. Tonight, we are no longer boys and girls depending upon others for aid and guidance. We are now young men and women, ready to face the world, ready to serve in whatever capacity we are needed. To you who have aided us so much in the past,we would give this assurance: we may not be able to repay you directly for your service to us, but we can help others in your name.

A good leader ..- must know the world, its greatness, its weakness. He must know the difference be- ... tween right and wrong. Willingness to work without glory for the happiness of others is true service. How can we best serve people without knowing where our help is i most greatly needed? Knowledge of the past and facts concerning the present should assist us to take our place in the future. A scholar is one who wants to learn, a person able to learn under any condi- tions. A high school or college education is not necessary for a truly great scholar, but we are indeed fortunate in being given the opportunity of a free high school education. New horizons will be reached through the interests in the wide variety of subjects we have stud- ied in high school. They kindled a flame of interest and made us curious to learn more about them. From our radio work will come the future announcers, technicians, and actors of tomorrow. Perhaps from chemistry and physics another Einstein, or from our dramatics a second Catherine Cornell or Helen Hayes. We have studied of the Pharaohs of Egypt, Caesars of Rome, Napoleon and his conquests and asked our teachers, Why study about them? They lived a hundred or a thousand years ago. Our study of history prepared us for today, for as Disraeli said, The only way to judge the future is by the past. Our search for knowledge began with the study of yesterday. We, the young people of today, will make the history of tomorrow. Will our story be one of war or peace? Without some knowledge of the past we would not be wise enough to live in the second half of the twentieth century. The next fifty years will be a trial, a testing ground. As a leading statesman once said, Upon the education of this country does the fate of this country depend. We must be educated for peace. Will the peoples of the world learn to live together? We must, for if we do not there will be no world. The fate of the world of tomorrow depends on the educated young people of today. We want to be able to say to the world, I came, I saw, I conquered. . ..- .nu .f-.. .i Jpg 1 - VALEDICTUR f,..m kg K by Donna Peebles 6 i g Four years ago, in 1946, the people in this auditorium were surprised to see at two valedictorians sitting here on the stage. Then last year the Class, of 1949 was , so unusual in that it had three valedictorians. This year the Class of 1950 is in the u- nique position of having five valedictorians. We chose as our subject for discussion and consideration, Five Aims of Edu- cation , which we felt should include leadership, service, scholarship, worthy use of leisure time, and character. Each of us had his choice of these five aims. The speaking order, determined by lot, will be Donna Peebles, Evelyn Sipe, Bonnie Martin, Nathan Judson, and Peter Fletcher. Ypsilanti High School is noted for the many opportunities it offers students to become leaders, not only in athletics, music, speech, and the student council, but also in a great many other fields. Each member of the Class of 1950 has had an equal opportunity to become a leader in one of the many fields that compose our school's curricula. Many did not have the desire or feel qualified to assume the re- sponsibility. They became followers, but together with those who assumed leadership responsibility, they have worked diligently to attain the high standards that exist in our class today. To be worthy of leading others, one must have certain qualities, the most important of which, I believe, is unselfishness. The nric-3 of leadershio is sacrifice, the willingness to yield one's personal interests for the interests of others. Leadership should exert a wholesome influence on the school. The true leader is one whose influ- ence encourages the timid, the faltering, the doubtful to step forward toward higher goals and greater achievements for himself, his school, and his community. In taking the initiative in class and school activities, the real leader should strive to train and aid others to'attain worth-while objectives. The question has many times been raised, Why do high school graduates sometimes fail in college or in life itself? In my estimation they lack one quality. To be a leader one must also be a good follower.' While in high school all of these students had many opportunites to become leaders and to form close friendships with each other. Upon graduating, they found themselves in a world where leaders had already been acknowledged and where they, as new citizens, were virtually unknown. This presented a great challenge. There are always some who cannot adapt themselvesto the new situation. We, howerver, as graduates of this high school, hope to meet this challenge with success, for through- out our school lives we have been taught to be both leaders and followers. All of us will not become leaders in the years to follow, but those of us that do, and who use this power wisely, may be assured of a full measure of honor and glory. SERVICE By Evelyn Sipe 117' The twelve years we have spent in school have clearly taught us the true mean- ing of service. These have been our formative years, years when example and expe- rience have made their most lasting impressions. Tonight we are thankful for both the service and the lessons in service we have been given. It has been you, our parents, teachers, and friends, who have set before us countless examples of unselfish and loving service. None of us would be here tonight if it were not forthe guidance and help you have rendered in the past. We are also grateful for the experience we have gained by being given the opportunity to serve. Just as our school has offered each of us the chance to become a leader, so it has extended to all the privilege of service. As we leave our high school years behind, we are confident that we have been well prepared to serve, and we hope that we shall prove capable of meeting the numerous challenges which lie before us. ....- M ,.,. CHARACTER By Peter Fletcher Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote, The whole object of the universe to us is the for- mation of character. The acme of the five aims of education is the fifth one, that of character. Char- acter is a rather intangible subject for discussion, but its importance warrants spending some time doing just that. Character is a combination of your distinctive traits - either good, bad, or a mixture of both. What I should like to point out to you is the fact that a good character is so important that it is one of the major aims of education, and for that reason it has been stressed throughout our school years. All of us here this evening must realize that we shall never be able to call ourselves successful until we have attained a noble character, a character which will embrace more than our first four aims: Leadership, Scholarship, Service, and Worthy Use of Leisure Time. It must also include honesty, integrity, and fair dealings with our friends and associates. For those of us who are fortunate enough to develop it, the right kind of character will serve as a golden key unlocking the doors to new and high- er attainments in life. We should also do well to remember that it is by the quality and character of our life that mankind judges us. Everyone of us has a rating in the estimation of his friends which is entirely independent of his material assests. Society does not raise its estimation of Henry Ford or John D. Rockefeller be- cause of their moneymaking powers, but, instead because of their philanthropic projects. There are thousands of men whose assets are intangible. They do not have bank accounts, or property, or stocks and bonds, but they do have a priceless asset, that of fine and admirable character. Our education in Ypsilanti High School has, of course, consisted of the standard courses and stud- iesg but through all of this has been interwoven the idea of training and strengthening our character. Some of us may not realize it, but a high character will stay with us and serve us all our lives if we cultivate it, while we may not recall or have much use for some of our mathematics, history, or science To sum up, let me say that our character will be made up of all the things we encounter during our life including both the beneficial and the adverse. The only way We may develop into someone with a preeminent character is to assimilate the worthwhile things we meet in life. In closing I should like to speak for the entire Class of 1950 by saying that we sincerely appreciate all of the excellent faculty, administration, and school facilities with which the citizens of Ypsilanti have always provided us. We shall never be able to repay the tremendous debt we owe the school and com- munity, but we do hope to reciprocate in part by leading constructive and worthwhile lives in the com- munity. WORTHY USE OF LEISURE TIME By Nathan Judson When our country was founded some one hundred and seventy years ago, there was little spare time. People arose at sunrise and worked hard all day. When night came, all were glad to go to bed and rest. Gradually,however.,working time became shorter. The invention of new machines made manufacturing easier and faster. The application of gas and electricity to industry speeded up manufacturing even more. Now the average work day consists of eight hours, and according to the presenttrend, it may be reduced to seven or even six hours. Even as working time has become shorter, so has leisure time become longer. Anne Shannon Monroe says this about the amount of leisure time we have today: Greek culture of an- cient days has long been attributed to the leisure afforded the Athenians by slaves, each family averaging five. But the statisticians tell us that modern inventions for household economy have placed in the American home the equivalent of thirty slaves. With this extended leisure time, comes the problem of - what to do with it. The use of it can be very important. lt has been said that a man's character can be determined by the way he spends his spare time. During the past four years, we have all been kept very busy with the studies and numerous extra- curricular activities that go along with high school. Our spare time has been consumed by clubs, sports, and other activities. Some of us have been in the band or the chorus, -others have gone out for the various sportsg still others have participated in the many speech activities and plays. While partic- ipating in them, we have made many valuable friends. We have gained much knowledge of these fields of activity, some of us have chosen our life's work because of the influence of these hours. Now we are entering a new phase of life. As time goes on, we may have more and more leisure for ourselves and we must see to it that these hours are not wasted. Many worthwhile things can and should be done. Ignace .Tan Paderewski, alth'ough a famous concert pianist, will probably be remembered longer for what he did in his spare time. Not only did he, as a statesman, work for the peace of the world, but also he composed music which will be long remembered. Another example of this is Fritz Kreisler. Not long ago it was found that he had compiled much music literature that would never have been known had it not been for this activity during his so-called leisure. We, too, may become famous for our hobbies and avocations. It's something that we should seri- ously consider when we decide what we are going to do with our spare time. Of course, leisure need not be spent in drudgery, but neither should it be wasted. It might be well if we remember these words of Hosea Ballow: Idleness is emptinessg the tree in which the sap is stagnant remains fruitless. Is not true leisure one with true toil?
