But then, a change tran-.pirecl. the ''frosh'' i~ no more: he has acquired manhood and grace. for he has become a sophomore. His presence is being felt hy the upper classmen, for he is now covering himself with glory on the athletic field. I !is parties are no longer '•flops'', for he 110\\' dances divinely. I le notices that while he is at work on the athletic field certain others of his brethren are gaining renown in dramatics and in debating. In this year, too, he joins his \\' ashington group and comes to understand what the !->logan ''Give until it hnrb" folly signifie-. in regard to hoth money and time. Then comes the glorious year when he returns in the fall as a junior. the year that borders on re.ponsihility yet possesses a certain carefree happy-golucky manner.

What Shall I Be? \ \ 'hat shall I be ?- that is the que-.tion. It is a question the an-.\\'er,:, to which may he ,aried and colorful. or cu111111on -place ;ind drah. It i~ one question we may have the right to answer a!:> we see tit. In :-,hurt we are masters of our destinies. Everyone i5 confronted hy that problem and everyone of U!:> i~ called upon to find an adequate solution for it. Our lives are what we make them. The modern hoy or girl has many more and greater fields in which to seek ~ucces-. than the boy or girl of even, say, fiity year-. ago. \\'c, me111hers of this ever progressing generation of flying youth. must then tt·a,·el iarther and dig deeper in order to 111ake our success more profound. \\'e arc the coming presidents and common people. the mother,, and fathers to be; we mu-.t measure up to the present :,tandard left for us by our forefathers and we must lea Ye a worthy heritage for the future general ions.

Am l to be satisfied with the doing o f a small deed, the accompli~hment of a little but kindly act? A.h. ye-. . if J can justly say that I have clone it " ·ith my soul and done it well. I shall try not to forsake the worth while. smaller thini; _ of life in order that [maybe known in greater. brighter costlier realms of living : l should rather be a great man in little things than a little man i-n great thing:,. History repeats itself. Am I to be a Florence >!ightinga!e , a George Sand- a good wife or an old spinster? It is all fo r me to say. you see. However. I still ha ve a part o f my life to mould as I choose. Perhaps we all can't choose. I can- I am that fortunate. The que tion is what shall l do \\'ith it-into what form shall I chisel it or what mould it or carve it? Or am l to be the victim of circumstance? How will it be possible for me to accomplish something worthwhile and do it in a fashion successfully? Shall I sit here and ponder until my grey hairs hecome so numerous that I am literally dragged off to be exclaimed over ; or shall I do what my mother tells me to and go on to school and enclea vor to learn some thing more? It seems to me that J am merely watching Father Time drop the grains of sand one by one into the bottom of the hour glass. that all the world i~ spinning by in a flashi·ng panorama of books and autos and art and wan,, that I am standing reverently watching people come and go and ever hoping always watching for a chance to join the passing throng- Shall I be caught and trampled by the feet of those who crowd about me. or shall I force my way to their head and lead them in their march? Shall I swim the Pacific Ocean or rest by the wayside and write hook : should I sacrifice my trivial ambitions to perform a service for another: or shall I set a million dollars for my goal? So many of us go far to seek the ideal. Ideals are a great factor in the making of a beautiful life. Thev are worth more than all the money in the universe. because they are so rare. Some say they are never attained: perhaps not, but that fails to take away the glory of the vi sion idealistic. I sincerely admire the man or woman who steadfastly clings to his or her ideals. If they are real : they are priceless. But nevertheles", the mere reaching for an ideal is not going to earn anybody a living, and in this clay and age that is primary. Shall I be a poet merely because I love to write ; shall I sing for the pure joy of living : or shall I dance because of the fascination of interpretation? I alone may answer all these question;,. It gives me rather a grand and gloriom feeling from the top of my head way clown to the bottom of my shoe'>. .\ncl yet" one mu st be ;,o utterly serious about it.

If 1 have been an understanding fri end to those who neecl me: if f may render to the \\'Oriel a ;,er vice. stopping not to think of sacrifice or self denial : if I am privileged to be success fnl in the eyes of other worlds: if in a measure I am kindly, thoughtful , re verent a nd a\\'ef ul of my Cod : if I am lent the touch of a musician, rippling from th e harp strings luring notes: if f am gi ,·en e'en an eye for color let alone an artist's ha nd ; if, when the scythe comes -.weep ing westward. slo\\'ly swingin g. swayi ng- T may gl:icl ly mark the rythm of th e music as it beats mr death ma rch- then \\'ill m v life be whollv fini ,,,hecl in t he c,-cle o f true brotherl~oocl .

Junior C lass History Good things come in small measures: and, although the junior class is a rather small one, it atones for this in quality. .\t the beginning of the term officers were elected, Clarence i\l ci\[ullen being chosen president: Elizabeth Dr::t), vice-president; Gertrude Tilton. secretary; and irarion Quarton, trea~urer. .\!though the election was held a~ usual, the officers were Yery unusual and guided the class through a very successful term. Two of the officers were new-comers, and new people tend to put new enthusiasm into a group.

A very succes. ful class party was held Friday. December the seventeenth at the Community llouse, l\Iiss Stickle and i\[is;, Tilton. clas::. advisors, chaperoning the party. The girls of the class served delight ful refreshments. and music for dancing was supplied by a school orchestra . The junior class have put on se,·eral Yery fine chapels. at one of which the junior class paper, very cleverly written up by some of the junior girls, cau,ed nmch mirth and not a little embarrassment. The class have selected and received their rings and pins. \\·hich in the opinion of many are the most beautiful designs of any of the classe::.. For several clays, just after the rings arrived, junior · ~trolled about with hands gracefully extended, or waved them frantically in the air, supposedly for permission to ;,peak: but upon each graceful or waving hand one beheld a bright new ring. Could that have had anything to do with it? On cla;,~ day the juniors were very active participants, carrying away the honors in several field events. and certainly presenting some of the most ludicrou and picture;,que costumes seen among the ''hoboes''. They had severa l cars in the parade to the field, gaily bedecked with treamer and trimmings of the class colors. The juniors have given several very prominent athletes to the school. not to one sport alone. but to all of them. .In football. George Cooney, "Mick" Thompson, Rodger Brown, "Larry'' Kamin. "Phil" Henry. ·'Doug'' Brien and ''Zeke" Wood \\'ere among tho e who aided the team in it~ illustrious season. Although many of them only graced the ide-lines. they may get their chance next season and we wish them the be t of luck. The captain-elect for next year, Philip Henry, is one of the few juniors to receive that honor and we a re exceedinly proud of him . ] n track, Clarence McMullen and George Williams represented the juniors and did it well. They are "some'' ;,printers, and we hope they always have the desire to come in fir;,t. Tn ba. ket ball.

AltaParks,Gertrude Tilton and Sophie Plotkin. The Junior \\'ashington Group has been very active this term. They have given se,·cral success ful movies. which were such because of the cooperation of everyone. The group had charge of the advance sale of football tickets and cam·assed the ses::.ion rooms and grade schools energrtically. They were divided into two teams , "The ~Jaroons'' and ''The \\1hites" . and the contest was a close one. Ticket selling did not encl until the very day of the game. and the l\Iaroons came out the victors. A novel idea of one of the girls set all the girls to work making clever sou venir for the Thanksgiving game. They were little maroon and white yarn dolls and were \'ery popular, as was proven by several of the players decorating their helmets with them for the game. \Ve imagine i\Ir. Johnson did not thank the juniors too profusely for becoming candy venders in the session room. as paper crackled and jaws crunched steadily until the \Va hington Group's supply of candy was no more. But it was a very profitable enterprise and that was their aim. The group has purchased the time honored Ark and are hopefully and fer\'ently praying it holds together until they extract their share of :service and profit from it. C.\TII ERIXE .-\ . LIPKA

The Sophomores As freshmen we challenged any sophomore. junior or ;.,enior to ha\'e anv aspirations beyond om reach; and now that we really are sophomore<; we are sure that we did not set our goal too high. In September we came back to school only to find out that we had forgotten most of the things \l'hich we were told to remember. But that didn't worry- us much. becau,,e just think how many more new things we could learn if we didn't have to be bothered by the old ones! Of course. we had to get out our old Latin books and look at all the pretty pictures. ct conjugations ct declensions. cf participles, ct cetera: because. you know, Latin is something that you just ha Ye to study. It is like that poem which goes: "Latin is a language, As dead as dead can be. It killed all the Romans. And now it's killing me." Every morning. foll of vim and pep we walk. ride. or run dutifully to !:>Chuo!. Every hour we sit in our classrooms and . try to look intelligent: while all the time we are hoping that the teacher will begin at the encl of the alphabet, or at the beginning, a the case may be. Every night. if we are good, we wander leisurely homeward with an armful of books,- trying to impress the teachers, you know. l might say, that most of the books are the kind that you get at the library. id est. the kind that have stories in them. Uut,- eYery night. if we are not goocl.- well, f won't say what we have to do then, but whatever it is, we would ne,·er have to do it if everyone had a-. good an opinion of ourselves as we ha\'e. \Ve have had repre entatives on both the football and basket hall teams. and whenever they have played they lmYe alway;., been a credit to the llirmingham High School. \·\Then the \Vashington Group was formed at the beginning of the year there was no money at all in the treasury: hut our fund is increa ing, and we hope that by the time we are seniors there will be enough money in it for our \\'ashington Trip. You see. we are very ambition..,: and we feel certain that we will be the only class in the Baldwin l figh School that will graduate in nineteen hundred and t\\'enty-nine. Winifred

Baldwinian Staff The B .\LD\\'IKl ,\N Staff of 1927 made the, resolution at the beginning of the year that they would publish the best B,{Lnw1 NI A N in the history of Baldwin High School. This resolution was the result of many things, namely. the confidence placed in the members of the staff by the class in electing them, the example set by their predecessors. and their -duty to their fellow students, the alumni, and the townspeople. The artistic theme of the book i:, connected with pirates and buried treasure. These hold and dashing fellows are the creations of M rs . Kidder's art classes and much credit is due them for their highly commendable work. All the literary work in the annual this season has been clone under the supervision of i\Irs. Horwath, who, with three years' experience in annual work here, is already planning great things in her attempt to make next year's book as successful as ours. The burden of the literary work this year has been greatly lessened by the fine help of l\i!rs. Gilchrist who, with the aid of her students, has typed and proofread all our material. The business work of the staff was under the painstaking direction of Miss Taylor, and it was chiefly through her efforts that every cent was spent to the best possible advantage. \Vith this fine assistance everyone worked hard and conscientiouslv: and with you, the readers, rests the verdict of how well we have accomplished -our task.

Acta Baldwiniana The Acta Baldwi11ia11a has been a very succe!:>~fttl publication this year. To share the honors and also the responsibilities, the senior high school Latin clas,e!:> choose a new staff, with the exception nf the busines~ manager. for each issue of the year. As a rule there are fi\·e or six i!:,sues each year. As the annual photogr~phs were taken rather early in the year. repre:entatives from only the first two staffs are shown in the above picture. -Baldwin High School may he proud of the fact that it has such a creditable publication, for comparatively few high schools find the time and the facilitie to put out even a pamphlet-paper devoted entirely to Latin themes and ~uhject;,. At the present time we are exchanging papen, with about twenty-fi\·e school<, and colleges, thus keeping in touch with other school.., and ~preading our idea.., to them as well. A great amount of work is necessarily required to edit !:,Uccessfully a paper of thi,, sort. The material must be written and corrected by student and teacher. typed and rec:orrected, and published with extreme care especially in the case of articles written in Latin where th e changing o f one letter might change the meaning of the entire ,,·ord or sentence. The staff of thi !:> year i!:, ha\·ing no trouble, howe\'er. in gettillg the desired quantity of material. So much fine material has been turned in that it has heen founcl nece~san· to add an ex tra leaf to this year's papers. · The . /eta Baldwi11ia11a devote. no space to adverti sement... . and becau. e our 5tudent body i::. comparatively small, is not of course. self-supporting from sales.

Later, l\irmingham was :i-,!-,ig-ned the affirmative side of the stihject and opposed Ferndale. The affirmative team, composed of Elizabeth Hascall. Myrna Sewell and Carpenter Hewitt ,ettled clown to hard work. and after much preparation, followed the usual order of events by defeating Lincoln I Tigh unanimously . . \ letter soon arrived, containing the new!-, that in their final preliminary debate the afiirmative wa, to meet I laze! l'ark in the latter'-, territorv . \\Tith much anxiety . hecau~e of fear for their Ii\ es should they lo:-.e, the team fourneyed to this school, only to emerge with a unanimou:-. decision for Ilaldwin . The time had m11\· arrived for the n~gative team composed of Eli1.aheth Hascall, :\lildred l'atterson and Carpenter fTewitt to begin work: and work they did.

Three unanimous Yictorie:-, ! Obvioush·. such a condition seemed to demand defeat: so, for the final preliminary ~lebate. Baldwin was allotted Ann Arbor, a class .\ school and one with which l\irmingham has seldom competed in any activity. Therefore. it wa,, with great di;,m:ty that the team received thi;, news; but each member \\·orkecl hard. and while the decision was two to one in favor oi our opponents. the fact remains that the 11aroon and \ \'hite acquitted themselves remarkably well in ,·iew of such strong opposition. Then follo\\'ed days of anxious speculation as to whether Birmingham \\"Ould enter the elimination conte,,t. Soon. oh joyful day! it was determined that thirteen points were necessary ior entrance to thi,, conte,,t and that IL 11. S. was eligible! The further fact ,,·as announced that our school would uphold the negative and debate Fordson on the latter's platform. The hour ior the contest finally arrived . and after presenting logical arguments in a clear, 1orceful manner. the team from l:irmingham was a\\"arded a two to one decision against Fordson's trio. At the time of the writing of this article, the question of Baldwin";, going any farther in the elimination debate, remain:, un• c,lved, a;, the debate is ,wo w;eks away and the opponent, are unknown. However, it is a certainty that both the team and the coach \\"ill do their utmo--t to \\'in and if defeated. will go clown fighting . Thi s brings U!', to the question of the coach who certainly deserves umtinted praise. .-\t the beginning of the year, ~I i,,s Kaden had only two people who had ever before participated in debating. 1n :-,pite of thi:-, enormous obstacle :-,he has developed a team which ranh fin,t. in view of actual accomplishment,,, among the three best team:-, ever produced in this high ,,chool. From the beginning of the season. she ha~ worked unce:tsingly for the good nf debating and much credit is due her. ft is hoped that the ~ophomores and junior!', of next year ,,·ill take an active interest in debating and try nut for the team, 1or experience j,, a !!reat aid to debater:; and preparation in the tenth an c\ eleventh grade::. insure~ the greatest ,,ucce!:>s for each season\ teams. \\'e're hoping for ~reat team:-, in IL fT.

The Junior Play ln these modern times all is hustle and bm,tle. and one is hardly gi\'en time to breathe. \'ow. the junior-. are no exception, for they, too. ha ve ":\ Strenuom, Life". l.\ut theirs is quite an impro\'ement over that of the maj ority, for it is merely their clas,, play. l say merely. but the play was not c1 mere play; on the contrary, it was not in the roll of common productions. Exceptional talent. conscientious rehearsing under the able direction of :.\fiss Delbridge and :.\li s Packard, and the cooperation of the entire class. all contributed to make it a great succes!>. T his was an exceptionally difficult play to present as practically none of the characters were natural ones ; nevertheless, the members of the cast adapted themselves admirably to their parts. and much credit and praise is due them for their clever interpretations. If one were to pick stars, the honors would probably go to Helen Thompson and ~ elson \\'oltman. Helen, as the lively little sister of the hero. was a most naturally vivaci ous little lad y; and Nelson portrayed in a most realistic manner , the difficult character part of a western miner. Jt i!> doubtful, however, whether, without the aid of the variou s committees which were responsible for the clever adverti!>ing. attractive program'>. and efficient ushering, the play would have been such an a!><;ured !>UCcess.

The Freshman Pageant The Pageant of Spring, given last spring by the freshman clas..;, was an unmual succes!>. despite the fact that plans were di sarranged by the weather. Preparations had been made to present the pageant in Clizbe Park; but. clue to a sudden rain torm, it was gi ven in the high school auditorium instead. The story relates how Proserpina, carried off to the underworld by l 'luto, is returned to her mother. Ceres, fo r only six month~ of each year. Her return is celebrated by dance by the Flower l\Iaidens. a solo dance hy Katherine Mann, and the winding of the :.\laypole, after which a grand processional of the players concludes the program. The leading characters were Mary Jane Wilson,Lucille H offmann, Marjorie Porter, Katherine Mann, William Spreen. and Thomas Ellerby. _.\ great share of the credit for the successful program is clue to them. The supervision of the pageant was in the hand~ of :diss Densmore ancl i\fiss :.\lcintyre, who hacl the entire charge of th e clances in the pageant ; it is to them that the men,her of the class of twenty-nine owe a portion of the glory which came to them becau e of thi 'i attractive procluction.

The setting for the opera is the deck nf ''fler l\lajesty\ Ship. Pmafore". Sir Joseph Porter comes on hoard to view the crew. ah,n to propose to Josephine and arrange with her father, the Captain, for their marriage. The crew meets with his hearty approval ; but Josephine fails to respond to his love-making, for she has fallen in lm·e, and. at first much to her own di:,pleasure, with a lowly ~ailor.

T hen the happy couple are united: Sir Joseph consoles his grief hy marrying his cou!->in Hebe ; and the degraded Corcoran bestows hi!-> affectiom upon l .ittle nuttercup. Through the earnestness and perseyerancc of the principak the enthu.,ia..,m of the choru,es. and the per'>istence and nncea:,ing effort-, of the director ·. the opera was a real success. 1 Page S1.1"13

The Minstrel Show of '27 The \\'a::,hington Group of '27 presented the annual minstrel show in Baldwin Auditorium on the evening of January the twenty-eighth. Everyone who took part was cleverly attired: and all of the costumes, -;a, e those of the endmen and the soloi::,ts. were uni form. \11 except the girl<;' quartet and a few of the soloist:, were blackened. Before the curtain went up, the audience was entertained by selections by the High School Orchestra, after which R. Carpenter Hewitt introduced the High School Jubilee Gang. These colored gentlemen offered a welcome in the form of a mixture of Southern melodies and modern popular songs. Then the curtain rose: and after ''1ly Oki Kentucky Home" was sung by different groups of the cast located in various parts of the auditorium. all the cas_t, both the endmen and the members of the circles, filed onto the stage from the front. Several distinguished negro gentlemen were carrying two large crates marked "Fresh Fi,-h" and "Don't Feed the Animals". It wa,, generally believed that these boxes contained fish and animal crackers for a feast. Dut lo, and behold! just as the sho,, was to commence. loud howls and negro shouts were heard, and as they seemed to come from the boxes, i\rr. Rufus Greenhill Sodgra% and Mr. Joe Smoke pried off the tops of the crates and who should appear but ~Iessrs. Cicero Flatfoot and Peewassle Marblehead Bill Spence, ?\Ir. Marblehead favored the audience with a solo. "I :\' ever See Maggie \lone". which was followed by jokes between r.Jr. George J ohnsing and l\f r. George Lincoln Abraham \\ ashington. \ solo, "The Italian Street Song". sung by \Ionzelle Hoffmann aided by the dice quartet. was followed by a "cake walk" dance by Lawrence Johnston and \ irginia Taylor and some jokes by endmen Rufus Rosebud Sneezer and Exodus Deuteronom} Slip-Jacket. Then came Elizabeth Luscombe's typical negro solo. "Mammy'<; Little Pumpkin Colored Coon". The other numbers "ere "Hello! Swanee, Hello!" by Pennock \ Vollaston; a vaudeville act by the Triangular Trio; a mandolin solo by Rosemary Lamond: a monolog by Cornelia Schorr· a solo. "l\Ioonlight on the Ganges", by Catherine Drown; two selections by the Perfumed Polly Ann Quartet : and last. the clo ing overture. Detween curtain came a harmonica trio, a group of cartoons by \ irginia Neal. and a dialogue, "11etween Trains", b) \[arylou Lipka and Fred \Vhittlesey. Then came the comedy, ''\\ ho's Crazy "\o\\ ?", in which some very commendable acting was done. Helen Thompson as Snowdroo, the little colored maid, was especially clever in portraying the character she was to represent. This little play was under the direction of \fis'i \\ alker. \[r. Toothacker with her help supervised the whole minstrel: and it is large!) through his patience ctml constant efforts, and l\Ciss \\ alker's careful guidance that thi<; year'<; minstrel show was the greatly successful Yenture that it proved to be.

Varsity Club In the fall of 1924 it was suggested by i\l r. Van Winkle that the students who had won letters for athletics in previous years should organize a \'arsity C lub. The boys were much interested and decided to adopt the plan. The club was organized with Clarence Vliet, Jr.. as president, and i\Jr. Hart and i\[r. Vliet. Sr., as advisors. They ruled that e\'ery boy who had won a ''13" in any chool sport should be eligible to membership. All the members bought pins, which are small ''!l's". Jt is agaimt the rules of the club for any person not a member to wear a pm. The following year \\'ith Donald !\ell as president, the club accomplished many things which proved meful to the school and to the athletic team One of the most advantageous accomplishments wa!, that of chartering bu se to transport the teams and the students to out-of-town games This year the club has also been successful and very helpful to the t ams. The members sold pencils and megaphone , and in many other ways rai sed money . which has been used to buy hoods for the members oi the football team. For the Royal Oak football game they publi~hed programs, which contained the line-up and a picture of each team. They also presented to the school framed pictures of the football and basket ball team s, ,,·hich will be hung in the gymna ium along with other pictures presented by last year's club. It has been voted that the club of coming years shall abo present pictures of the teams to the school. The officers, under ,,·hom the club has accompli~hed so much this year, are Bennett 11rown, president: Gerald llell. vice-president: Harry Bradley, secretary; and David Gafill. treasurer. 1Iany ne\\' members were taken in this year, all of whom are helping to make this organization the most popular in the school. 0

Camera Club Shortly after school ~tarted last fall. a meeting was called by i\lr. Toothacker for the purpose of forming a camera club. .·\II students in the school were invited to join. and the result was that a Yery excellent club was formed, which elected officers and decided to meet one evening a month. Later, it was arranged so that the Can:era Club met jointly every other meeting with the Science Club. The club has had some intensely interesting meetings at which photography has been scientifically discussed. The members of the club have been clivic\ecl into squads, one group taking pictures, another developing them. and still another printing them. . \ fter sufficient practice in one operation, the squads trade positiom, the member~ being carefully taught each of the three. Probably the most significant thing the club has clone is bringing about the purchase ot the splendid motion picture machine now in school. The Camera Club. with the aid of various other organizations, ha~ obtained a very fine machine with an exceptionally fine lens. This machine will be used by the \\' ashington groups on their trips, and by any other organizations that pay approximately ten dollars toward its cost. The camera will be rented out for two dollars to organizations wishing to use it. and the rental fees " ·ill help future \\'ashingtonians along the road to the capital. Great things are expected of the Camera Club in the coming spring and ~ummer. Since this is such a beautiful section of the country, some wonderful photography should be clone by this organization.

Football Reserves The football sea~on for the }Q26 reserves started on the third clay of school. Forty students reported for practice. Of all these, onl) two had had experience : John Palmer, who was elected captain. and ''Zeke" \\ ood , a capable lineman. After two weeks of hard practice. Coach "Rip" \·an \\ inkle rounded out a team to play Ferndale. In spite of the fact that this was the first game for man) of the boys, it was a close one. Ferndale winning by a place-kick in the third quarter. The next game was played at Royal Oak with the "Prison Bars" who won twenty-one to nothing. Royal Oak had a fine aggressive team. being able to score two touchdowns the quarter. Don Gore was the consistent ground gainer for 11irmingham. \\ e again played Ferndale there, and again lost by a placekick in the last quarter. The team journeyed to Oak Ridge where they were beaten by the fine aerial attack of Oak Ridge's team. the score being six to nothing. At Pontiac the team lost in the last minute of play . Bob :\[uzzy played a fine game at encl for Birmingham. Determined to avenge the former defeat by Royal Oak, Birmingham met them at home on a muddy field. Although neither scored, Birmingham played by far the better of the two teams. Pontiac brought an over-confident team to play Tlirmingham. Thi;, \\'a the be~t game our team played. making their only score of the season when Hilty, an end, scooped up a fumble and raced for a touchdown. The final game was with Clawson. who out-classed our team and piled up a score of thirty-one to our nothing. Among those who played a consistent game are Captain Palmrr. who lid some fine punting; ::\Iax Gail. the reliable quarter bc1ck: Elmer Root, a fine de fensiYe center: Don Gore, the plunging full-back : Ivy Haack. also a good de fensive man; and ~[uzzy.

Reserve Basket Ball The Reserve team of this vear was more successful 111 !>0me respects than last year's fine second team. 'i'he Reserves not only furnished stiff oppo ition for the varsity in practice workouts. but won seven out of eleven games of a difficult ~chedule. The local Reserves twice defeated Royal Oak's second team, and these two victories helped in a way to atone for the had fortune of the first team in their Royal Oak contests. In two games each with Pontiac and Clawson, the Reserves broke even but had better luck against Rochester. winning both contests. The hardest game of the season were played with the fa;.t Oak Ridge five, which had defeated the first team earlier in the season. The Reserves piled up a lead in the first three quarters of the first game; but Oak Ridge staged a desperate rally in the final quarter, winning in the last minute of play by a single basket. The Reserves showed the best passing and teamwork of the season in this game. The second contest was played on the home floor; hut Kamin. Peterson. and Henry were not in the lineup and Oak Ridge again took the decision. One of the closest games of the year was played with Ferndcj.le' quintet. The local seconds held a one-point margin at the final gun.

Re erve

The reserve lineup for the last six game~ included F. Doherty and D. Doherty. guards; Spreen or Ellerby. center; Root and Hilty. forwards. Carl Hilty and Captain ''Red'' Doherty led the team in scoring. It is expected that several members of the squad will make strong bids for positions on the first team next season.

During thi::. ye;r·,, football sea,,on. which was the most ..,uccessful Ilaldwin High School ha,, seen, in years, i\l r. Johnson made ,-tar football players out of men who were never dreamed of as players of var~ity caliber. These men. inspired by his enthusiasm. confidence. and thorough knowledge of the game. worked hard and untiringly for their coach and for their school. The basket hall season has not been a,- succe;,;, f ul as coulcl he wished for, owing to the small number of men left from last yea1·'s \'ar,,ity team. Several games, however. which our opponents won. were lost by very small score;,, proving that :\Ir. Johm;on had the hoy.., working at high speed in e\'ery g-ame. :\Ir.

All games must now he played after school instead of in the evening: and so. due to the many other activitie.., which take place directly after school, the team is depri,·ed of a great deal of the school support. llut ne\'ertheless, i\liss :\lcTntyre ha,- come out on top with a winning team. which. at the time this goes to press, has lost only one league game.

David Gafill was fine a an end and did some excellent work. Jlad he refrained from a few of those numerous card sessions to. from and between games his game (not bridge ) might have been better. BENNETT Brown captain of our team, as usual, retained hi good record as an end, and was chosen on the all-state honor list. "11en" certainly did commendable playing during his last year at B. H. S. Philip Henry Phil's" first season as football was profitable for himself as well as the team. He greatly aided them by his wary guarding and becau~e of his playing and popularity he is captain-elect for next year. Manley Bailey leight didn't eem to bother ''Stub", for he went right ahead just as though he were tall and heavy. He made himself popular with the crowd and indi~pensable to the team as a quarter back.

Claude Streb continued to hear ladies yell for him this year when he proved to be one of our best linesmen. This was his last ~eason a ~ tackle on a J:. H. S. team. William Spence position at center wa::, well filled when "IJill" played. During the rainy sea ·on, though, it ~eemed he rather kept out of the mud. Perhaps ''Scotty" only wanted to save the school ~oap. William Dawson of snappy action and perhaps because of 3tze, too, "Tiny" successfully filled hi .; position as guard on our team. "Tiny" also managed the basket ball team in a highly successful manner. Walter Haack one ever heard much aid by ''\\'alt", but everyone knows what excellent playing he did as tackle. "\\'alt" was the silent working member of the team.

Gerald Bell ( 110/ in picture ) - ''Jeff'' certainly finished his football career at D. H. S . with many honors. ,\s our fullback he did great kicking and was our best open field runner. Burton Stalker Peg-leg' ' surely knows his ,-tuff when it comes to playing guard. Ask anyone on the team and they'll say he did fine work in his la"t football season at B. H. S. FLOYD Doherty erhaps he's not a "Reel" Grange, but we are proud of his record as a half -back. He proved one of the best line plungers we had. and "Reel" will be hack next year. George Cooney eorge may be lacking in height, hut he's not lacking in football ability. He is a fast player and has proved himself a good halfback. Roderick Cox- "Roel" was a most accurate p<!,ser and as a center proved very versatile, being good both on the defensive and offen . . ive. Lawrence Kamin is one of those fortunate mortals who has height and weight in addition to common sense in football. I lowever. all this didn't keep him from being the baby of the team. Milton Tomson certainly played well, e!>pecially in defense on forward passes. but we fear for his play next year as a halfback. You ~ee- hi s inspiration is in New York and that's a long way off. RODGER Brown play . . excellent football as an encl. l fe's light in weight, but the brains and action are there. "Red" will be here next year and we're hoping for big things.

Just when everyone had cleciclecl he was the laziest man on the team, "Roel" would make a clever play, and we'd realize that, as a guard, he'd been busy all the time. only didn't look it. BENNETT Brown proved to be our best shot in his last basket ball season. His playing as a forward was hard to beat; but why shouldn't it be when "She" attended every game? MILTON Thomson may be a lightweight, but he makes up for it in that he's our speediest forward. Philip Henry plays on the team as a guard but plays best between halves as entertainer for the crowd by shooting baskets from the middle of the floor, which can't be done in games. Never mind, "Phil". maybe next year someone else will hold down your ringside seat. William McClure was fast as a center, but we know that that speed was nothing compared to the Chevrolet on the twelve-mile road west of Southfield. RODGER Brown lightweight man! But. as a guard, "Red" was most dependable and always filled his position in a creditable manner.

Elizabeth BRAY urse-maid, water-boy. and jack-of-all trades, was this year\ manager of the girls' basket ball team. It was the first year such a person has officiated on the girls ' team, and she showed what a great improvement a manager can make.

Avis Gravlin star captain. never tmng. never failing, proved Avi:,, Gravlin. Her smiles were as winning as her arms and legs were constantly bothersome in a game, and we certainly are glad she remain s another year. Cornelia Schorr ornelia was a peppy guard and an im·aluable member of the team . She was thoroughly famili<1r with the finer points of ba ket ball ·md was popular with her team-mates and with the crowd. She will be greatly missed by the team next year. Hilda Trumbull was ] lilrla\ first year on the var:,,ity, and her first opportunit y to how her worth as a basket ball player. She wa~ a great forward and has another year on the team. l\Iore success to you. Hilda! Virginia Taylor our old stand-by and star guard.

Like several of the other members of the team she will be in Baldwin High for two more seasons. Elizabeth Luscombe a little heavy, but she's always there and there's no getting around her. This is her first year on the varsity and, unfortunately for the team, her last. LILY Baldwin case of quality, but not quantity.

Telephoning at a Pay Station There are several e:,;sential things to remember when telephoning at a pay station. First, you nm~t have a nickle. or, if you're broke. hit the telephone box with your fist when the operator asks for your nickle. This works- sometimes. Second. go into the hooth , Ii ft the receiver anrl cross your legs until you hear, "t\'umher I 'lease." Third. tell her the number in a verv sweet voice or cbe she will answer, "The line is busy." · Fourth, when you get your party ( that certain one) consider yourself lucky and deposit one nickle. or, as already suggested. hit the hox with your fist ( don't hurt your hand). Last and final warning. Don't talk too long on unimportant subjects, but get your date before you are ··cut off". FLOYD D. DOHERTY l\Jiss Hendricks: Where does sugar come from. Carpenter? Carp: From sugar cane. l\[iss H.: Name some other sources. Carp: Hurricane and hickory cane. C. Harper ( in civics class) : Tf the Pre.:;ident. \ ' ice-president. and all the cabinet members died. who would officiate? Mr. Cook : \\'ell. probably the undertaker.

l\Jr. Toothacker- naming the compound of th~ ~fethane family: Methane, Ethane, (?\Ir. Toothacker calling on '·Carp" for another compound). Carp: Ah- h. sugar-cane. Miss Hickox ( commenting on the fact that Cicero wasn't horn in the City of Rome itself) : Tsn't it true that our great men weren't born in the large cities like New York or Detroit? By the way. John Palmer. where were they born? John Palmer: In Ohio, T guess.
