In springtime the gardener prepares the bed in which are placed the seeds intrusted to his care. Rains magically unlock the brown coats, sun stirs the tiny germ into growth, the plant grows and flowers, for some varieties in marvelously rapid fashion while for others a century is hardly sufficient for the cycle to be completed. Harry J. Brooks came to the Baldwin High School a quiet, studious country boy whose energy was quickened by his contacts with earnest teachers until it became a divine fire, an urge to untried paths, an appeal to that glorious spirit of adventure into unknown fields which has ever been the distinguishing sign of the true explorer. What chances he took in his experimental work in aviation only his intimate friends ever knew. Experiences were to him but hazards on his course. Aviation will some day become a well charted science, and its history will record our alumnus as one who paid the supreme sacrifice on the altar of progress that mastery of the air might be, not an idle dream, but an achievement of practical and demonstrated value.

Oh, Father Time, thou August Seer, Pause but a while in thy career, And from thy glass of hoary gray Pour forth the sands of yesterday, Show us our fathers in their pride, Their customs, lives and how they died. Arrange upon this golden sand · The history of our cherished land.
John H1111fer
The shades of night steal slowly o'er The forest, meadow, and the moor; The stag reclines in mossy dell; The wolf is heard upon the fell; And now begins the silvery light To guide the warriors' steps aright, Who from the weary chase that day, Do homeward make their silent way; At length they come, where stern and steep, The hill sinks down upon the deep, And there between the woodland jaws, Lies the village of the Chippewas.
The early breeze, so soft but keen, \X' as whispering through the wooded screen, And, crooning to the warriors red, It held them in their lowly bed. At once there rose so wild a yell \'v"ithin that dense and narrow dell, As though the fiends from heaven tl1.1t fell, Had shrieked the battle cry of hell! And from their homes in terror driven, Like chaff before the wind of heaven, The Chippewas appear, Driven by the Fox they fear. For life! for life! Their flight they ply, And shriek, and shout, .ind b.1ttlc-cry, And arrows flashing in the sky, Arc maddening in the rear; And down the narrow dell they race, The pursuers keeping up the p.1cc. But ere their scattered wits they meet, Their lives are taken in defeat. And o'er the dead forever lost Settles the early morning frost. Spring's fair hand had cl1.1nged the lrn2 Of Winter's gray to deepest blu!!, When from the silent hill top g.1zed John Hunter, raptured and .1m.1zed! An·d "\'v"hat a scene is here," he cried, "For earthly gain or churchman's pride!
Early Settler's Home
On yonder mead beside the I.inc Billowing waves of golden grain; By this deep stream betwixt the hill Many a catch of fur and gill. Herc it is my home shall be, In a land I've longed to see." So he built with labor sweet, A home that any eye would mete. I c was a lodge of ample size, Bue strange of structure and device, Of such materials as around The workman's hand had readily found. To give the walls their destined height, The shapely oak and ash unite; \v'hile moss and clay, with leaves mixed 111, Stop each crevice from the wind. And ere that summer sun was o'er, Three cabins where but one before; Thus there came to chis retreat, Men whose names we oft repeat; Men whose deeds our love has won, Elijah Willetts, John Hamilton. In eighteen twenty thus we sec The birth of our community.
The Old Libr11ry
As the land was slowly cleJred Crops were raised and cattle reared. And in progress' steady stride Buildings rose, and owners vied With each other for the pl.ice Thar was first in this close race. First took form a tannery, where Elijah Willetts earned his fore; Followed close by blacksmith shop, Where John Hunter forged his lot. Next rose a tavern, frame Long since an old landmark of fame. Herc John Hamilton did engage The finest hostelry of the age.

If in need on business bent Our fathers to the city went, Their journey in that growing age \'<'as made upon a four horse stage. J\nd to beat the setting sun, Old Sault Williams, just for fun, Made the trip in record run. But the steady flight of time Soon produced the railroad line, Which to the growing town did lend Fresh interest in the business trend. And in answer co the urge

Martha Baldwin Building took a sudden splurge; ractorics of a moderate size Then upon the site did rise, Foundry, brick-yard, shop and mill; Steady grew the place, until Like that town of English fame Eirmingham became its name. But time rolls on his ceaseless course. \'v'ho can foresee the future's source? And though the town that name docs bear, Long dead the manufacturing flare. Yet the town still seems to grow, But with measured tread and slow; And now because of settled way School and churches come to stay. So the village urchin now Leaves behind his father's plow, And across the country lanes Hies himself to Ziba's plains, \'v'herc in the township's rustic school, Hervey Parke was known to rule. Though it met for twenty years, It at last was in arrears; And to meet the growing need The old log building had to cede To the school house on the hill, Where Southfield road annexed the Mill. And though in turn its use was spent, I ts presence to the village Jent Incentive to a further goalThe building of the new Hill school. And still the town did day by day Extend its boundaries every way,
Till at last to meet the need A village charter was decreed. And then began upon the scene Happenings of a different mien. In seventy-eight the Eccentric came; Nor h.1vc its efforts been in vain, for down through the passing days It has served in many ways, And because of worthy norm I las many readers to inform. In ninety-six the trolley came, The Oakland Railway was its name. The first car, with cheering loud, \v'as welcomed by the waiting crowd, And its progress through the town \'v'as watched by all, with praise unbound. And although the years recede It remains an urban need. Next we sec with prideful eye The building of the Baldwin High. It is a school that well may claim The right to bear that reverenced name. To Martha Baldwin our praise must go For the many civic prides we know, Who more than any other one Has served the town; her work is done. In sixty-seven thus we sec The Ladies' Library Society Organized with motive fair; It has flourished by her care. Though a club of prestige small It has grown, beloved by all, And now known by title of The \X1 oman's Literary Club, It has seen a dream come trueA library fine and new. In eighty- four, with H. C. Hull To nuke the town more beautiful, Miss Baldwin, at the work she loved, Promoted an improvement club. The lovely p.1rk that we possess Is but a p.trt of her bequest, i\nd to her this urban town Owes its pride and fair renown. Oh, Father Time, thou August Seer, Our thanks for what is shown us here. We fain would view the future's source, But in our want have no recourse; And though thou will not tear the veil From the future's mystic dale, We believe this ,lllgury plainTh.tt Birmingham will ever gain. -JOHN

What a gorgeous canoe trip! All those wonderful spots you've heard about so much! The paddling became rather tiresome at times, but on the whole it was too interesting to be true. \Vant to hear about it? Well, in the first place we started out with only a few, each paddling his own canoe. Miss Carpenter guided us for a short time, with Catherine Brown, Elizabeth Bray, Elizabeth Geisel, Lawrence Kamin, Mildred Patterson, Loretta Porritt, Marion Quarton, and Frances Van Every making up the party. What fun we had! The little brooks we discovered were very difficult to pass at times and at others they were broad and deep. Of course we liked these best. Who wouldn't? We explored these for six long days and learned much about navigating our small barks. The next day we came to a small river. The trees arose on either side and we found our way with difficulty through these new experiences. New forces joined us and new guides who taught us new ideas on altogether different subjects. The following day "Doug" Brien and Sophia Plotkin joined us. Our next day was one of real importance, for we were allowed to catch up with those a day or two ahead. As is usual we were subjected to a great many puns and practical jokes on account of our ignorance, or, as is usually suggested, our verdantness. Nevertheless, at a large camp-meeting we won partill respect and a little admiration by winning the daily tug-of-war. We had quite a few good times and in the evening presented the pageant "America's Child." The succeeding day we chose special guides, Miss McIntyre and Miss Speaker, to help us with our particular activities. It was on this gala day that we organized our Washington Group. Everyone was very enthusiastic over showing those other groups how much extra work we could do toward earning money for a side trip to Washington. At last our next to last day with the Birmingham High School gang! Our experiences were almost over and we were quite sure we knew everything there was to be known about canoeing--or anything else for that matter. In the afternoon we gave the play "A Strenuous Life," which was a huge success. With the proceeds from this we gave a magnificent banquet for our forerunners-by-a-day. Sometime during the day we ordered our class rings. We were very much excited over them, and when they arrived, were extremely pleased with our choice. Of course each day we elected new advisors and that day we chose Miss Stickle and Miss Tilton. Finally our small river merged into the vast and roaring one of the present day. Our guides soon impressed upon us the fact that there were a great many things which we knew nothing about. The goal of some is almost reached, but some expect to paddle further on and perhaps even take a lake voyage, but all will in the end enter the ocean trip called "Life." We have given our best to the different activities and have been given just credit for it. To football we gave George Cooney, Milton Thomson, Rodger Brown, Lawrence Kamin, Philip Henry, Douglas Brien and Clyde Wood; to basket ball, Rodger Brown, Milton Thomson, George Cooney, Philip Henry, and Bill McClure; among the girls, A vis Gravlin and Hilda Trumbull; to crack, Clarence McMullen, George Williams, George Winborn, Roger Toothacker and Leland Gunn; and last but not least, to debating, Mildred Patterson and Leland Gunn. Although our last day is the busiest, it is also the happiest, and we will always remember it best and attribute a great deal of its success to our very capable guides, Miss Walker and !\[r. Johnson. So our journey draws to a close and we have faced our problems as we thought best, but now our ways are parting. No more will we lean on each other, for, though each paddled his own canoe, there was alw.1ys .1 current helping .,long. Now we face the ocean Life and its responsibilities. We Juve hJd our chance for preparation. Are we ready?

"Why, there's Mr. Toothackcr!" I exclaimed as I stepped from the train .1t the Grand Central Station in Washington, D. C. At that moment Mr. Toothackcr turned around and espied me. "Well, if there isn't Catherine Lipka. How do you happen to be here?" "We're attending a reunion of the class at the Cairo Hotel." "Who's 'we' may I ask?" "Oh, meet my husband,-George,-why, where is he? George, oh, George." Just then George appeared loaded with bags and suit-cases. "Herc I am, dearest. What is it?" "I guess I must have made a mistake," stammered Mr. Toothackcr. "It's Mrs. Winborn. Isn't it?" "Yes, for five long years." I assured him. "Long were they!" exclaimed my indignant husband. "Well, weren't they?" I queried. "Come on, Mr. Toothackcr, and go with us to the reunion." George hailed a taxi and in we stepped. "Where to, George?" asked the grinning taxi-driver. "Catherine, here's Nelly," exclaimed George. "Aren't you going to the reunion?" "Yes, just as soon as I pick up Dorothy." "Who's the lucky one?" I asked. "Didn't you know that Dorothy Cook took everything I had, even my name?" retorted Nelly. Fifteen minutes later in the lobby of the hotel, while we were glancing through the names on the register, we came across the names of Mr. and Mrs. John Boyd, Mrs. Boyd who latter proved to be Ruth Potter, the well known coloratur.1 soprano of the Birmingham Kunsky Theatre-and Mr. and Mrs. George Cooney. Turning to the manager, none other than John Palmer, I asked, "Who is Mrs. Cooney?" "Helen Thompson," replied he. Next on the list came Clarence McMullen and Clyde Wood, owners of the large "McMullen-Wood Transatlantic Air Line." We then signed our names, and upon stepping into the elevator discovered the elevator-boy to be Bill Pollock, who asked if we had see Catherine and Cliff, who had just returned from Europe. "We haven't seen Catherine Brown in ages," I was forced to confess. In the banquet hall later, whom should we be seated by but Peggy Truax and Russ Stephens. Russ is now president of the Birmingham Dairy. "Don't you think it was lovely of Sophia to give us the hotel for the week?" asked Peggy. "Indeed, I do," I replied. "Did you know that Sophia, Loretta and Frances arc v1s1tmg Mildred Patterson, who is in China, converting thirty thousand heathen in a day? We understand that she attributes most of her success to her training under Mr. Correvont." Of course we didn't know this, and she went on to say that A vis and Elizabeth are captain and manager respectively of the All American Girls' Basket Ball Team. Our tcte a fcfe was interrupted by the Toastmaster, Pete, who introduced our noted trio, Sheldon Woodard and "Al" Voss with Marie Larson at the piano. Then Vera and Larry gave an interesting dialogue entitled "The Two-legged Centipede." After that came the main speaker of the evening, Rodger Brown, Speaker of the House of Representatives. Following this Reverend Toothacker gave a short review of the events of the past fifteen years in Birmingham. Rodger is now pastor of the new
B ,\ L, D \\'
fifteen million dollar Methodist Cathedral. In his outline he startled many of us by his statement that Birmingham has just this year incorporated all Detr~it and its suburbs, and that Mr. Couzens' ten story skyscraper is now a mere ant hill. He also told us that George Williams and Tom Townend are editor and associate editor of the Birmingham Eccentric, which now has two daily editions reaching over three million homes. William, better known as Bill McClure, now has the largest architect's office in the city and plJnned the numerous skyscrapers which are in existence there. Our well known forward, Hilda Trumbull, has returned a little of the knowledge which she attained from our Tecumseh teacher by journeying to that far off little town and coaching basket ball. Mr. Toothacker's assistant, Warren Pratt, Ph.D., M.S., M.Pd., B.Pd., and L.L.D. of Harvard, Oxford, and Cambridge, i~ now making use of the new observatory in the new high school, which took ten years to build, leaving his both interesting and enticing work to travel to Toledo to make his weekly visits on Jane Shepherd, who runs a shop in which she makes popular dresses at popular prices. Perhaps it won't be long now. "Mick" Thomson is the swimming instructor at B. H. S., and the teams which he coaches are as good if not better than the teams on which he played, while Jean Heacock has shown some of her Marathon and other abilities in training her athletic teams, for she knows how to teach a team to play squarely and win. "The Elite Beauty Parlor," owned by Jane Wall and Ellyn Schultz, is the rendezvous of society of Bloomfield Hills and Grosse Pointe. Betty Guest, following the style of Edgar Guest, is now a prominent poet of the "Birmingham Eccentric," and Bob Hatch is her critic. Much reading has made him proficient in this line. Ben Brown has succeeded his father in the florist business, making it an even more successful business since he has added his aeroplane delivery service. The fashionable set who visit the "Elite" als:i give their orders at "Bennett's Shoppe." Elizabeth Geisel is head librarian of all the libraries of Birmingham. Her companion, Helen Joyce, is head of the library in the Detroit branch. To finish his speech Rev. Toothackcr gave the names of the following absentees: Councilman Philip Jones Henry has followed in his father's footsteps. At present he is in Switzerland studying economic conditions. Helen and Rosannah Manchester arc living on a Kangaroo Ranch in Southern Australia. As kangaroo jumping is becoming a very popular sport their business is a good one. Leland Gunn, due to his argumentative capacity, is down in Florida convincing the public that the Gulf of Mexico is the best place to build their summer homes. Minna Taylor is touring through Europe studying voice culture and will return in a year or two to take up her work as a soloist in the Rev. Toothacker's cathedral. Ruth Hunt has organized an Orphanage in California. Her dear little charges are much devoted to her and follow her about like Mary's little Iamb, but of course she doesn't throw them out the window. Dorothy Bowden is now a famous temperance lecturer and is president of the "Women's Christian Temperance Union." Douglas Brien, the star of Red Grange's "All American Team," was not able to be present because of a very important football game. Berniece and Dorothy Smith, who are the owners of the famous "Smith and Smith" cafeterias, were not able to be present because of a large banquet they were giving in honor of Mayor-elect Preston Green. Virgie Morse, now he.id of the Engli~h dep.1rtment ,lt Ann Arbor, h.1d so m.my themes to correct that she w;1s un.1ble to leave.

With the conclusion of Rev. Tootluckcr's address the former classmates separated into groups, some going to the ball-room, some to the lounge room, and others to pl.ty bridge. However, most of the evening was spent in recalling pranks and adventures of their former school days, with the result that long before they realized it, midnight had come and passed. So the last dance was played and the reunionists trailed wearily but contentedly away to their rooms. The next morning a breakfast was given in honor of Mr. Toothacker. Afterwards, amid the rabble and the confusion of departing guests, George and I took Mr. Toothackcr to the train. Just as we arrived, it puffed into the station and he, hastening towards it, called back to me, "Goodby, Catherine Lipka-ah-er-I mean Mrs. Winborn."

CL.1tss or JcllJll1lll8l lL"J 1'929 The Cl.lss of J.mu,lry, 1929, which will be the first class to gr,lduate at midye,lr in Lhe history of B. H. S., has proved to be a class worthy of the honor. Although comparatively small, they were well represented in almost every line of high school endeavor. Six 11 -A 's made the varsity football team last fall, ,unong them Captain-elect Cox; and five of these men will be back next Lill. The cbss lud representatives on both the girls' and boys' basket ball teams and ,dso cl.iim~ sever.ii tr,lck and b,lseball stars. In activities other than athletics the I I -A's ,lre prominent, with five members of Lhe class holding positions on the Baldwini,m staff and a proportion,ll number in other school organizations. On class day the I I-A's joined with the I I-B's and the combinaLion brought victory to the junior class, both in the track meet and the flo.lt contest. Every class has its humorous clement, .md the I I-A's luve their parties. The first of these w,ls ,l dancing party ,lt the Community I louse, attended b)' approxim,ltely five persons. The second was an intended sleigh- ride p,lrt)', at which everyone appeared but the sleigh and the snow. During the holiday se,lson the I I-A's under the direction of Mrs. Horwath, cla~~ ,ldvisor, took charge of helping a destitute famil y in Brightmoor to ha ve a merrier Christmas. Altogether the semester ending in January !us been a very profitable one for the group, who hope to accompli~h ~till more in their senior ye.ir.

After a great deal of work on our part and despairing pacience on the p.irt of our teachers, we, the eleven B class of the B:dd win High School lu ve climbed bravely up chat steep, rocky, book-bestrewn path which leads to the Junio r C lass. Having learned from our history that the Macedonians never could have conquered the world without cheir great commander, Alexander, we, not wishing to be outdone by the ancients, assembled in the session room one night and chose our leaders. As, perhaps, you have already discerned, we have always been .1 very ambitious class and we arc willing to work and fight until we attain our desires. Consequently, when the Field Day results were announced, the Junior Class topped the list, having won the victory over the verdant freshmen, the innocent sophomores and the d ignified seniors. \Ve have contributed many all-American players to both the fo otball .rnd b.1skct 6.111 teams. Floyd Doherty, Ralph Schwarze, Milton Porteous, R obert Muzzy, and Robert Lyon became shining stars in football, while Joan \'v'inborn, Marg;1ret Haldane, Annette Kiley, Reinert Carr, Blanche Bell, Ralph Schwarze, Thonus Ellerby, Floyd Do herty, and Edward Kurth won glory in basket ball. And so, with this brilliant year behind us, we arc very anxious that next year when we become seniors, we will accomplish even greater things, and not be remembered for the trouble we ha vc caused here, but for our great and glorious deeds.

Esther Kist and Hartwell Ladd were unanimously chosen intramural managers. Miss Packard was elected class advisor.

Oh, listen my children and you shall hear-not the story of Paul Revere, but of the most illutsrious class of nineteen-thirty. By September 7, 1927, we had recovered from the trials and tribulations of our freshman year, and became brilliant and carefree sophomores. After many weeks had passed the class finally decided to elect officers. Herman Schwarze was honored by the presidency; Fred Johnston was chosen vice-president; Oak DeBerg, Class "Jot It Down"; Doris Hoffman, Class "Tax Collector"; Betty Brown and Harry York, intramural managers; and Miss Stickle and Mr. Correvont, advisors. Our first party was held during the reign of spooks, ghosts, and goblins. It was a masquerade and there were many clever costumes. Besides those who have obtained positions on the first teams, we have many other athletes who, on the reserve teams, show promise of varsity caliber. \X'e arc looking forward to accomplishing much in our junior year, and with hopes held high and without fear, each member of the class will do his bcst--cvcn as did Paul Revere.

Maintaining their reputation of last year, the Srnior Class of 1928 produced an equally successful play February 17. All those who attended "Mr. Pim Passes By" greatly enjoyed the production that was made such a success by the untiring efforts of Ruth Van Winkle Graham and Beulah Packard. "Mr. Pim Passes By" is a three-act comedy and affords a great deal of amusement throughout. George Marden, a conservative English gentleman is married to Olivi:i, a delightful wife of a very different disposition. George's niece, Dinah, lives with them. She is in love with Brien Strange, a young artist, and wants to marry him. George opposes it, while Olivia is in favor of letting them work it out themselves. The tables arc turned, however, when Mr. Pim, an absent-minded, eccentric old man, who comes to sec George on business, unintentionally assures them that Olivia's former husband, who has been dead supposedly for six years, is still alive. How George's love for Olivia overcomes his conservatism, and leads eventually to his favor of Dinah's marriage is worked out cleverly by Olivia, who discovers that Mr. Pim has confused names and that her husband is not alive after all. He returns many times during the play to tell them something else that he has neglected to mention. Lady Marden, through an old maid's view of life and marriage gives the performance a touch of humor. The characters were excellently portrayed by the following cast: Olivia Marden George Marden Mr. Caraway Pim Dinah llrien Strange . Anne, the maid Lady Marden
Jane Wall Clarence McMullen John Palmer Catherine Lipka Leland Gunn Ruth Hunt Elizabeth Bray
Through his cverchanging line of thought George Marden was an especially difficult personality, and kept Olivia constantly on her guard not to give herself away concerning her husband. A more splendid amateur portrayal could not have been found than that of Clarence McMullen, who put just the proper touch of humor and satire into the part. Dinah was a constant trial to her uncle, who really loved her but thought that this younger generation should be curbed from their extreme recklessness. Another of his numerous troubles, which furnished a great deal of amusement for the audience, was his dislike for the morning room curtains that Olivia insisted on making. Olivia's calm acceptance of his rebuke but her refusal to stop working on the curtains hopelessly infuriated her husband. The fine production of "Mr. Pim Passes By" by the inexperienced players was most un usual, as the play, in spite of its many laughs, is subtle. It is one of A. A. Milne's recent as well as best plays, and the play committee showed their wisdom in its selection. "Mr. Pim Passes By" will be an incentive to future senior classes, to produce ~imilar plays in the forthcom ing years.

The presentation of "Bab" in the Baldwin auditorium on the evening of March the sixteenth as the annual junior play proved a great success. It would be difficult to n:imc the star of the evening as all played their parts admirably. V cneta Cook who portrayed the title role of "Bab," playing opposite Floyd Doherty (Carter Brooks) was an excellent example of a sub-dcbutantc. Marjorie Porter and Wallace Gail as Mr. and Mrs. Archibald reminded us all of our fond parents; while Katherin Mann (Lila), and Thomas Ellerby (Guy Grosvenor) took their parts exceptionally well. It was not surprising that Elton Buck as Clinton Beresford was English to perfection, for he always has reminded us of a lord,-cvcn though minus the monocle. Joan Winborn (Jane Raleigh) and Donald Gore (Eddie Perkins) were typical of the youthful age while Gale Woodward (Hannah) and Gerald Uptcgraff (William) proved the best servants imaginable. Much credit, however, must be given to the various committees in charge and to the directors, Miss Gray, Mr. Corrcvont and Mr. Tarrant. The story of "Bab" takes place at the country estate of the Archibalds. Because of an epidemic of measles Bab unexpectedly returns from boarding school. This is not very welcome news to her sister, Lila, because she is entertaining Clinton Beresford, an English government employee, for the week-end, and, of course, as she considers Mr. Beresford her own special property, she docs not want Bab around to interfere. However, it cannot be helped, and Bab is made to understand that she must confine her attentions to Eddie Perkins and Jane Raleigh, two childhood friends. This situation docs not please Bab, and wishing to show the family that she is quite grown up, she decides to have a lover of her own. There being none available she plans an imaginary one whom she calls Harold Valentine. She purchases a photograph, signs Harold's name to it, places it carelessly on a table and proceeds to write a letter to him. Meanwhile, Carter Brooks, a friend from next door, comes over, recognizes the photograph as a picture of his college friend, Guy Grosvenor, and offers to deliver Bab's letter to him. Carter, of course, has discovered Bab's scheme, and, wishing to have some fun with her, he delivers the letter to Mr. Grosvenor and takes him into his confidence. Consequently, at Lila's week-end party, Carter introduces Bab to Mr. Grosvenor, who has been coached in the part he is to play; and Bab finds herself in a difficult and bewildering situation. How she extricated herself from this tangle; how Lila and Mr. Beresford overcame all the objections Mr. Archibald raised against him as a son-in-law and how Bab found a real lover in Carter Brooks made the evening performance a very enjoyable one.

The annual senior high operetta, "The Toreadors," w.1s given Thursday evening, April fifth, under the capable direction of Miss Brumsted, Miss Barth, and Miss McIntyre. Although produced under great handicaps, one of the best operettas given in the high school took place. The setting was laid in a Spanish patio under the sunny skies of Spain. The scenery was all designed by Eero Saarinen, who also made a clever miniature stage to be used for advertising purposes. The costumes were particularly striking. The beautiful mantillas of the girls and the peasant costumes of the choruses added much to the beauty of the scene. The operetta opened as Senor Dictorio was giving a birthday party in honor of his twin daughters, Benita and Juanita. Their admirers, Juan and Pablo, were each present for the purpose of requesting their favorite's hand from the Senor. But Dictorio, whose one desire wa~ for his daughters to marry Toreadors, refused. The suitors, not to be suppressed, engaged two beggars, Swateo and Whackeo, to masquerade as Toreadors. After many complications and blunders, the imposters narrowly escaped being married to the twins; but this catastrophe was avoided through the feigned intervention of their wives. Senor Dictorio, whose attitude toward Toreadors had changed, finally presented Juan and Pablo to Benita and Juanita as birthday presents. The male lead of Senor Dictorio was portrayed successfully by Clarence McMullen. Benita and Juanita, Catherine Brown and Catherine Lipka, took the feminine roles of Senor Dictorio's charming twin daughters. Clifford Harper and Earl Maxwell were well suited to the parts of the lovers, as were Lawrence Kamin and Roderick Cox to those of the ragged beggars. Margaret Strand and Marguerite James portrayed Dolores and Maria, intimate friends of the twins. GIRLS' CHORUS Evelyn Gill Elizabeth Cole Arleta Smith Dorothy Bowden Helen Strand Margaret Johnston

The Junior operetta, "Bits of Blarney" was presented April twenty-seventh under the capable direction of Miss Brumsted.

The setting for the operetta takes place before the cottage of a caretaker of a large estate. The boys arc deserting their former sweethearts in order that they may be with Peggy, and the girls arc sad because the picnic for which they have been planning is completely spoiled . At Mike's suggestion Peggy masquerades as a student doctor, and with the help of a remedy given by the supposed doctor, the boys are cured of their love for her. In the meantime, Patrick who is much in love with Peggy, is masquerading as Margie, Mike O 'Noolc's ncicc. Peggy enters while he is talking to Mike, who then slips away, and Patrick tells of his ' love for Peggy and his broken heart. The doctor, not knowing whom she was addressing, offers to cure him. Later they find that Mike has been playing cupid in order to get Peggy to fall in love with Patrick. His schemes arc successful and everyone is happy as the curtain falls.

We have in our high school a thcatric.11 producer who merits the highest praise. Y car after year Mr. Toothackcr takes the raw talent from the Senior Washington Group and develops a successful minstrel show. This year he had an unusually good one, but it wa~ not produced without a great deal of effort, and for months Mr. Toothackcr spent his week-ends going over songs and jokes to put in the show. JV!r. Toothacker was given a very good assistant, however. Miss Pursell has proven herself a worthy advisor and merits the gratitude of the group for her untiring efforts in rehearsals and practices for the Minstrel Show. Not only did she rehe.1rse for hours with the soloists, but she was the accompanist for the entire show, a task which took months of strenuous practice. Miss McIntyre coached several dance numb~rs, which were put on in a splendid manner. Mr. Hart coached the ends. We consider ourselves very fortunate in having a principal who would take the time from his regular work to take six boys who knew almost nothing about Minstrel work and make them capable of performing in the very fine manner that the ends worked in this show. Not only did Mr. Hart coach the ends in such a fine manner, but he was persuaded to sing a solo. It is believed that his part in the progr.1m w.1s given more favorable comment than any other. Miss Brumsted coached the boys' and girls' quartettes and she also gave the audience a rare treat by singing a solo. The program was opened by the High School Orchestra, directed by Mr. Berndt playing two numbers. Immediately after this the boys' and girls' quartcttcs sang several old negro spirituals on a very dim stage, the lights were gradually brightened and the entire circle marched on to the tune of "Dixie." The Interlocutor, George Cooney, then called in the ends from various parts of the stage and auditorium and introduced them .. The first number was sung by Robert McGregor, who proceeded to inform us on an interesting topic. His song was 'Tm the Kid Th.it Built the Pyramid." Following this Helen Thompson and Nelson Woltman presented a little dancing skit, mingling a very comical conversation with their dancing. And then-what a delightful surprise, Hannah Jones and Chesterfield Bones sang, "Tic Mc to Your Apron Strings Again," the former being none other than Miss Brumsted and the latter Mr. Hart. Next came Lucy Waters, generally known as Marion Quarton, who talked over the telephone as only a negress can. Catherine Brown then sang, "An Old Guitar And An Old Refrain." Bill Spence of last year's class showed the B. H. S. spirit by coming back and singing a cleverly staged number with Clarence McMullen. As the Interlocutor was about to announce the next number he was interrupted by a colored gentleman in the balcony, Mr. Hart, who, after a humorous conversation, sang two very peppy numbers. Nelson Woltman, Levi Beginski, received permission to use the phone and after many humorous mistakes in his conversation with his girl found he had called the wrong number. After this Sophia Plotkin and Catherine Brown presented their impression of the Varsity Drag and sang the very lively number, "All Alone Monday." Following chis Katherine Mann, Joan Winborn, Mary Jane Wilson and Lily Baldwin gave a clever little dance number. To bring the individual parts to an end Clarence McMullen sang, "The Song is Ended." The entire circle then sang the closing overture and marched from the stage. While the curtain was down, Eero Saarinen, George Washington Paderewski, drew some very interesting cartoons. Then the curtain rose again and "The Filming of Uncle Tom's Cabin," was staged. This was a one-act comedy, coached by Mr. Toothacker. It was tremendously funny and extremely well acted. Thus the best Minstrel Show in Birmingham drew to .1 close with both audience and actors well satisfied.

"Following the Stars and Stripes" was a patriotic pageant given by the freshmen last May. It introduced the following characters: Betsy Ross, Minutemen, Daughters of Liberty, volunteers, Barbara Fritchie, soldiers, sailors, Red Cross nurses, college boys, school girls and tradespeople. The scene opened showing Betsy Ross engaged in sewing stars upon our first national flag-the flag designed by General Washington. She expresses the desire to look into the future and behold the scenes over which this glorious flag may float-she wonders if the number of stars will increase, if the colors will always stand for purity, loyalty, and bravery. After a little pause she seems to fall asleep, and the pageant, beginning with the Minutemen, shows through all the years up to the present time, che scenes and people over which "Old Glory" has floated. This pageant shows that America is a home for all who long to be free. The following is the program: CHARACTE RS AS THEY APPEAR Recitation: '"Our Flag" Betsy Ross

Two institutions of importance were introduced this term through the Varsity Club. The one of most significance was the first annual banquet of the former and present members of the club, held October 19. According to Coach Johnson and Principal Hart, who spoke before forty-five men and boys who had received "B" awards, the affair was planned to bring alumni members of the association into closer relation with the letter m~n now active and establish a direct connection between the alumni athletes and the school. It is hoped that this banquet will be continued as an annual reunion and that more of the ex-members will be induced to attend. J. M. "Bingo" Brown, Dean of Men at Ypsilanti State Normal College, as the principal speaker, stressed that "It is worth while for Birmingham to support her football team and provide equipment and adequate grounds for all sports because athletics are character builders." A regular initiation was the second function to be adopted. Every boy winning a letter in any sport h ~nccforth must undergo the ceremonial rites before becoming a bona fide member. Among the many other enterprises which the "B" club sponsored were football schedules, souvenir basket ball programs for the Royal Oak game and ticket campaigning for the int~r-class c.1gc tourn,1ment. The sophomores won this tourney, and six gold mcd:ils were awarded to those who appeared in their line-up.

The highest peak in the hi stor)' of Birmingham forensic act1v1t1es has been attained by this year's team, which was one of the sixteen best teams in the state. Upon the third elimination debate, it had gone farther than any previous team. When Coach Correvont called for debaters, twenty-six candidates .1ppeared. Mildred Patterson, a senior, was the only regular back from last year. After tryouts, Norma Martin, Leland Gunn, and Mildred Patterson were chosen to argue the negative side of the question, "Resolved, that the Direct Primary System for the Nomination of Candidates for Public Offices in the United St.ttes Should be Abolished." After much preparation the team faced Ferndale there November 18 . Although presenting logical arguments, our team lost 2- 1. Once defeated they were determined to win every remaining debate. \'<lord cam~ that B.H.S. was to argue with Mt. Clemens here December 9. The team practiced many hours and did much research work in the Detroit Public Library. Before a la rge audience, our trio won a unanimous decision against Mount Clemens. It was the first time that we had defeated a Mt. Clemens team. Upholding the affirmative, the same team met Port Huron there January 13 . By .1 2- 1 decision, they returned home victorious. The next debate was Janu.uy 27 with Howell here. The team had to win in order to enter the eliminations, .111d win thev did, by a unanimous decision. · Then followed anxious days. Finally word came that Birmingham would defend the affirmative against Plymouth here February 17. After the closest debate of the season, Birmingham emerged victorious with a 2- 1 decision. Birmingham won the next debate unanimously against Fenton here March 2. The third elimination debate was lost to Oxford there on March 15. As a result of these debates, Birmingham receives another and the third consecutive University of Michigan wall plaque. The eJ1.ceptional work of each member of the team and the fine leadership of Coach Correvont l1.1s m.1rked the season. We hope that the interest and fine spirit which backed this ye,1r's te.1m will promote a bigger .111d better te.1m next yc.1r.

The Birmingham High School Latin paper, the "Acta Baldwiniana," was started several years ago by Miss Bassett. Since that time, through the untiring efforts of Miss Hickox, it has increased both in quality and size. Its present circulation is not limited entirely to the school but includes high schools and people throughout Michigan and several other states as well. Each Latin class nominates candidates for the offices of editor and associate editor and then these are voted on by the classes as a whole. The business manager is chosen for the year by the instructor. The Acta has promoted various ways of earning money for its publication. On two separate occasions the Hudson Male Qu:irtette was presented and on one occasion an impersonator and make-up artist of the Redpath Chautauqua. The Acta fill s a double purpose in that it helps to cre.lte a general interest 111 the Latin cbsses throughout the student body and also makes Latin more interesting for the L:1tin students themscl ves.

Although the "Baldwinian" is nominally a senior activity and is produced by a staff composed entirely of seniors, it is in reality a product of the entire student body and is the only unified record of the school activities for the year. The theme for this year's edition, which was suggested by Mrs. Kidder, the art advisor, is concerned with the history of Birmingham. That theme has been developed in all the art work: the growth along educational lines, beginning with the old Academy, which stood on the site now occupied by Shain's Drug Store; the first public school, which was a district school and became the well - known Clizbe residence; the original Hill unit, the present Senior and Junior High School; the growth along social lines, portrayed by the old and new libraries; the changes in fashions, as pictured by the division sheets; and the corresponding changes in amusement and athletics. The art work is representative not only of the history of Birmingham, but also of the work of the students, for all of it was done by them, and by individuals from each of the four upper grades. Likewise is the literary work, under the C,lpablc supervision of Mrs. Horwath, typical of all the grades, for articles and jokes have been contributed by members of each of the six classes. The business members of the staff, under the direction of Miss Taylor, have secured practical experience and lessons in cooperation which should be of real value to them. The copy for the printer, which was typed under the supervision of Mrs. Gilchrist, also represents the work of the pupils in several grades. The wish of the present staff is that each succeeding edition of the school annual may be .1s representative of the whole student body as they have .ittempted to make the I 92 8 "Baldwinian."

Early in the fall term a Senior Science Club was formed, which, because of the difference in scientific outlook between the senior and junior students, was limited to the Senior High School. The club was ably assisted throughout the year by Mr. Toothacker, Mr. Tarrant, and Miss Huggett, all of the Science Department. At the beginning of the term a new point system was inaugurated whereby a member of the club must earn at least twenty points to obtain the minimum amount of activity credit, one-fourth unit. Points are given for prompt payment of dues, attendance, reports, and experiments. Points arc also given for work done outside the regular club meetings, such as making pieces of appartus. Two very fine examples of this outside work are the physics and chemistry tables, which are rapidly nearing completion, the form~r under John Boyd, George Winborn and Alfred Myhrs, the latter under William Dawson, and Lawrence and Jay Bassett. The club has had as part of its program at least one reel of motion pictures every meeting, which were shown through the courtesy of the Visional Education Department of the General Electric Company. The club has subscribed to the "Science News Letter" and "Current Science," both of which are on file in Mr. Toothacker's room for reference. Experiments have been performed with liquid air, high frequency currents, the cross-section of an atom, and carnivorous plants. The Science Club h.1s attempted to arouse scientific interest among its member~ and the other students of the school, and promises to continue its work with vigor.

Under the supervision of Mr. Hart and Mr. Correvont the Hi -Y has completed one of its busiest and most successful years. Activities began with the initiation of twentyfive new members, which increased the roll call to thirty-six youths, all anxious to put into practice the vows to which they had so recently given their word. With the club thus organized a very lively and active program was carried out. The Birmingham Hi- Y were hosts at an officers' meeting at Pine Lake and also entertained the other schools of Oakland County at a Council meeting at the new Cranbrook School. A novel idea, entertaining each other at dinner and breakfast, was carried out between Royal Oak and Birmingham, and has helped to foster a friendly spirit between the two clubs. At Christmas time a Christm'.ls basket was prepared and delivered to a very needy family. During Father and Son week the club put on a "Father and Son Skating Carnival" at Quarton Lake. Prizes were given for various races, and although there were all too few fathers a very good time was had by all. Each boy has contributed a small sum to the "Scoreboard Fund ," the proceeds from which are to be used by next year's club to build a scoreboard at Barnum Field. The ideals of the Hi-Y club are "to create, maintain, and extend high Standards of Christian character throughout the high school and community." \X'ith this motto to use as an incentive to the bigger and better things in life, we can alw.1ys expect a little higher sense of duty .rnd development of personal char.1ctcr from the members of this nation- wide organization.

This year the Birmingham Girl Reserve Club has been quite active. At the fall initiation about forty girls were received into the group, swelling the membership to a total of seventy-two. At each meeting there has been a well prepared program, usually including a talk by a good speaker. Tpere have been a few parties, a "splash party" and a Valentine party, to make the organization socially active. Much has been done by the club in the way of service. At both Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets of food were given to the poor. On Christmas Eve a large number of the girls went caroling for the Community House. Three members were sent to Lansing for the Mid-winter Conference. There they spent a week-end just in discussions with many other Girl Reserves and brought back to the club the benefits they had received from this conference. By our membership in the Girl Reserve Inter-Class Council, we are constantly kept in contact with other nearby clubs. Much of the credit for making this club a success belongs to the new advisor~, Mrs. Gilray and Mrs. Grindley, and to Miss Walker, the high school advisor.

This year the music department has come to the front in several projects. The high school's first active band was organized and directed by Mr. Berndt. The members have been very loyal to the school, giving their support in ?!very w.1y and at every convenient time, appearing on the football field at all the big games played ,lt home and at all the basket ball games played in the gymnasium. The band this year consisted of twenty pupils of the senior high school and there is a st.inding invitation to .111 who have musical ability or knowledge of musical instruments to join.

groups. The orchestra has been one faction that has been ready and willing to entertain whenever it has been asked. It has headed the chapel program on sever.11 occasions. The seniors and juniors found it indispensable in producing their plays, for it made the intermissions an enjoyment instead of a bore. Accompanying the high school operetta was another of their achievements. The senior girls' and boys' glee clubs, directed by Miss Brumsted, although separate parts of the vocal section, have appe.1red together in nearly all their productions. Their master production, "The Toreadors," was one of the best productions th.it has ever been staged in Baldwin High. Fine cooperation was one of the rea~ons why this was such a success.

girls showed the results of the fine training they had received. The senior boys' glee club, not quite half as large as the girls' glee club has worked faithfully under Miss Brumsted accompanied by Miss Margaret Strand, meeting on Monday and \X'edncsday noons of each week. The club suffered a much heavier loss in the cbss of '27 than did the girls. To say that they have worked steadily and earnestly is not necessary; we have only to remember the chorus work in the oper.:tta to assure us of this fact. The junior girls' and boys' glee clubs are entirely new organizations. These clubs h.wc been very successful and have done some unusually fine work. The operetta, "Bits of Bbrney," they gave on April twenty-seventh was the work of these two clubs. With the marked progress they have made we ought surely to have some very fine senior glee clubs in the future.

The junior girls' glee club has been meeting on Wednesdays after school and Friday mornings. Some of their skill was demonstrated in the Christmas program, which was given in the evening before a public audience. They arc very close rivals of the senior girls' glee club and the interest the pupils have taken in it has made chis club very popular. The junior boys' glee club, accompanied by Miss Margaret Strand, has shown much improvement since they were first organized. Some of their best work was done in the junior operetta. The music classes chis year have been a very important part of che vocal department. Miss Brumsted has Jevoced much time and effort in giving the pupils the same rraining chat the y would receive if they were caking priv.lte lessom, .ind chc future glee clubs will be chosen from these classes.

Probably the outstanding precedent established this year by the Athletic Board of Control is the standardization of the size of varsity letters. The decision was made at a meeting of the board last fall that eight inch "B's" should be awarded for football; seven inch letters for all other major sports, track, basket ball and baseball; five inch letters for all minor sports, and five inch letters for all girls' sports. A "BHS" monogram was also adopted in place of the "ABA" formerly awarded for first team substitutes. It is interesting to note that the organization, founded to control the athletic policy of the school, sanctioned the issuing of fifty-six varsity letters ( including 1927 track and baseball, and not these sports in 1928), five managers' letters, twelve monograms and many numerals for reserve team sports. In football, with sixteen men receiving "B's", a minimum of eight quarters of play was required to give a recommendation to a player for the letter. In basket ball six men acquired letters, ninety-six minutes of play being necessary. In track it was necessary for the runner to place in a county, regional or state meet, or to take first place in a dual meet. Sixteen tracksters were given letters and eleven baseball participants received letters. The members who officiated during the past year include Mr. Hart, principal; Coaches Johnson and Van Winkle; Miss McIntyre, girls' coach; Philip Henry, Varsity Club and senior class represent.ttive; Milton Thomson and Avis Gravlin, boy and girl senior delegate~; Carl Hilty, junior class reprc~ent,1tive; J.1mcs \'v'inborn, sophomore cl.1ss delegate.

Major credit for the success of the 1927 football season is given to Coach Johnson by the squad which worked under him. Overcoming the lack of weight in his gridders with football sense, and schooling several who came to the squ,1d inexperienced, he molded a team which won the majority of its games, and which, because of its spirit, the stronger Royal Oak eleven was unable to defeat on Thanksgiving Day. The griddcrs collected the scalp~ of six opponents, lost contests to three, and finished two encounters with tics. In the Southeastern League, they ended the schedule in fourth position. Although there were several who stood out for their marked ability, the team came nearer to b2ing .1 single unit than ever before. Te.1m work, which was drilled into the men thoroughly by the coach, was the main asset the boys possessed.

Captain Philip Henry was no doubt the most remarkable player of the season. Playing the position of left guard and weighing but little over one hundred and thirtyfive pounds, he had a difficult task. But his real fighting spirit and genuine leadership more than compensated for lack of weight. His opponents found him a dangerous charger and tackler, who was always breaking up their advances. Still further the line was bolstered by the presence of Arthur Otis, who came from Cleveland. Fitting in at right guard, he worked on a par with Henry in charging and tackling. Elmer Root, pivot man, was another player who should be commended on his play last fall. He was never charged with a poor pass from center, and his defensive work prevented opponents gaining through the center of the line. On the ends were R.1lph Schw.1rLe .ind Rodger Brown.

Schwarze excelled as a blocker and tackler and fhared in pass receiving. The backfield, which was built exceptionally well, having versatility and strength in every department, evenly balanced the forward wall. Roderick Cox, fullback and Baldwin's heaviest man, loomed in many ways an excellent player. His passing was th:: main spring of the aerial attack, while he could run the ends and plunge the line with equal merit. Herman Schwarze, quarterback, had the difficult task of piloting the team. In spite of his inexperience his generalship was seldom at fault, and h~ showed steady improvement during the s~ason. He did most of th~ punting and could also run the ball and pass. To George Cooney, speedy halfb,1ck, goes the honor of scoring against Royal 0,1k. His brilliant run of forty -five yards in the annu,11 contest was characteristic of hi5 ability to circle end throughout the season. Also pbying this position was Milton Thom-

son, whose ability lay in broken field running and defense work. Floyd Doherty alternated with Douglas Brien as the other halfback. The two were quite even in merit, plunging the line being a large part of their duties. To Doherty, who chalked up five touchdowns, goes the honor of being the high scorer. Gore, Palmer, Wood and Mix, alternating at tackle position, all justly share the credit given the team for its performance. Carl Hilty, a good linesman, until injuries to his spine at mid -season confined him to his bed for several weeks, underwent a great deal of suffering and privation for football. His loss was keenly felt. Roderick Cox was elected to fill Capt. Henry's place next autumn. Sixteen men, including all of those mentioned, received B awards at the season's conclusion. Seven men are lost by graduation, which fact brings eight var~ity men back for 1928. Tho~l' who graduate arc Henry, Brown, Thomson, Cooney, Brien, Palmer and Wood.

"Although we can not boast of a record season in basket ball, we may say that we have a record for close defeats." These were the words of Coach Johnson, spoken in awarding letters to members of the squad at the b,1skct ball dance held March ninth. In reviewing the games played this year, he did say, "The team has shown remarkable spirit and tenacity in fighting on, under the handicap of continually losing games. It is unfortunate that we did not win more games; but the boys should be discredited no more than if they were successful, became they tried." In a program of twelve matches, the quintet won three. Five tilts were lost by a margin of three points or less. Generally in these contests, the Maroons held a lead at some time and often fourth quarter competition told the story. Birmingham played in only two contests where the margin of loss was perceptible, and two others were dropped, trailing by only five points. A totaling of the points for the entire season shows how surprisingly close our team was to its opponents in scoring. Records show that Birmingham tallied 266 points to the opposing aggregations' 269 . Six players received letters: Captain Thomson, Cox, Brown, Herman Schwarze, Peterson, and Floyd Doherty, chosen to lead the cagers next year. Four men arc lost to the cage sport by gradu.nion, Thomson, Brown, Peterson, .rnd Cooney. Monograms were given to George Cooney, Ralph Schwarze, Hartwell Ladd and Douglas Berger. Stellar work of the season in the offensive department was lead by C.1ptain Thomson, whose abilit y .n looping the loop and directing an ,1tt.1ck w.1s .1bovc the .1 vcrage.

The team this year developed and improved greatly under the careful guidance of Miss McIntyre and came within one game of being champions. The sextette showed a marked improvement over last year's efforts by winning seven of their eight games, losing their second game with Ferndale by one basket. Last year Avis Gravlin more than proved her worth as a captain and was re-elected to fill that position this year. Her remarkable playing as a jumping center will be long remembered in B.H.S. Lilly Baldwin and Hilda Trumbull, veterans from last year, and Esther Kist, promoted from 1927's second team because of her excellent playing, made the most of their opportunities as forwards. Peggy Haldane and Katherine McCutcheon could not be surpassed as guards and Dorothy Kist succeeded in winning a letter her first year out. Joan Winborn was indispensable as side center, and Annette Kiley and Reinette Carr were sub-centers of no mean ability. Lilah Johnson, a first year girl, gained a position as sub on the first squad through her untiring effort and exceptional work at guard. Lilly Baldwin, because her popularity among the student body as well as star pl.1ying, was chosen captain-elect to lead the team to eight more victories and the cup n.:xt year. Last but not least, Elizabeth Bray more than did her share as manager, for she performed not only her rcgul.1r dutic~ but w.1s .1 grc.lt incentive to the pl.iyer,. M.1rjoric Porter is advancing to the position next year to work with the captain-elect and the forth-coming team.

The strongest track team that has ever borne the Maroon and White colors was produced last spring by Coach Van Winkle. The trackstcrs marched through the season with only two defeats, these occurring in the state meet at Lansing, where they competed against twenty-five class B schools and won the runnerup trophy, and in the S.E.A.A. tourney at Ypsilanti in which ten schools competed, Birmingham being squeezed out of first place by two schools who each had two points more to tie for honors. Included in the lightclads' dual meet victories were Rochester, Mc. Clemens, and Royal Oak. Besides winning a triangle meet from Royal Oak and Ferndale, clumpionships in the State Regional and County tournaments were gained by "Rip's" crew. Two gold trophies, a handsome silver cup, a small relay cup and scores of medals arc included in the display of laurels chat the team received in class B competition. T wo of the spots of the year worth noting were reached by Zabel and \'v'illiams. In the county meet the latter broke the county and state record in the high jump by leaping five feet, ten inches. Zabel set a new Southeastern league mark in the mile run, when he broke the tape with the time of 4:50. Cape. Gafill was an outstanding figure during the entire season. He showed unusual ability in several fields, including the pole vault, the high jump and high hurdles, and at times the half mile relay. He fulfilled his position of captain by being the most ,•aluablc man on the team. Ocher~ who demonstr.1ted stellar work were Lyon, who bolstered up the sprint events; Thomson, hurdler; Kamin, weight man; and Cox, high jumper and half- miler. On ly three of the fifteen men who received letters gr.1duated, C.1pt. G.1fill, Z.1bcl :rnd \X' il li.1ms. Rodger Brown w.1s elected capt.1in for 1928 .

The baseball team of 1927 followed characteristically in the footsteps of previous nines in failing to rise above the level of mediocrity. The team accepted its losses Fhilo~ophically , and those who return from the aggregation arc looking for something better in the results of the schedule now being played. Six letter men return to the tutelage of Coach Johnson to strive to break the jinx which has accompanied us on the baseball diamond for so many seasons. Five men, all of some merit, graduated last year. They were Captain Ralph Thompson, Claude Streb, Harry Bradley, John Palmer and Douglas Brien . The varsity men who return to play this season arc George Cooney, Ralph Schwarze, Hartwell Ladd, Elmer Root, Albert Voss .rnd C. Wedge. George Cooney was elected captain of the 1928 squad. Th~ main weaknesses of the players were found to be in pitching, fielding and hitting. Very little material turned out for the pitching st.1ff, which of course must include several relief hurlers. The fielding at times was good but often became ragged ,111d uncertain. The only victory of the eleven games scheduled was that over Ypsil.rnti, the score being 9-7. Several encounters should have been victories, but unforeseen brc:iks alw,1ys .1llowed the opponents to win by at least a slight margin. Claude Streb, our strongest pitcher, w.1s the leading batter for the season with a percentage of .444; John Palmer, fielder, was next with the average of .428; Harry Br.1dlcy, catcher, followed with .333. These three men were the only rcgul.irs to climb over the .3 00 mark in their b.nting.

The cross-country track team of last fall showed considerable developm::nt over the hill and dale teams of previous years. A crew of ten m~n was maintained by Coach Van Winkle, which doubles the number of runners he coached in 1926. Not only was greater interest shown in the sport but more meets were scheduled for the 1927 harriers. They took part in seven meets which included five dual contests, the Ypsilanti state run and the Southeastern league tourney. Of the dual meets, the lightclads won from Ferndale and Royal Oak, lost twice to the same school and lost to Dearborn. The Maroon and White gained third place in the S.E.A.A. league match. In the state meet at Y psilanti the Baldwin runners did not fare so well. Fourteen schools of the state were entered in class B and Birmingh.1111 was forced to accept the last position. Alfred Myhrs, who succeeds George Winborn as captain for next fall, w.1s th:: outstanding performer for Birmingham in most of the contests. He placed thirteenth in the state meet, the only one from Baldwin High School to place under twentieth, and thereby received a bronze medal. Those who received varsity letters for their cross-country work were George Winborn, Alfred Myhrs, Frederick Rollins, H.1rtwcll Ladd, Lloyd Dennis .md Roger Toothacker.

Under the direction of Coach Helen McIntyre the girls' baseball team won two -thirds of the games played in the 1927 season. Since this was the first year for this sport co be organized in Birmingham, this record was commendable. Avis Gravlin and Roberta Meeker cook turns at first base; First row: Jane Sh eph erd, Avis Gra vl in, Evelyn Salisbury (c•pMargaret Haldane and Annette ta in), Annette Kiley, Margaret Haldane. Kiley held second and third bases Second row : Marguerite James, Esther Kist, Joan Winborn, Roberta Meeker. respectively; Evelyn Salisbury, captain, cook care of catcher's Third row : Coach McIntyre, Lill y Baldwin, Amy Schneider, Julia Myhrs Mildred Patterson ( manager) . posmon, while Lilly Baldwin was pitcher; Joan Winborn was short stop; and Esther Kist, Jane Shepherd, Amy Schneider and Julia Myhrs played the outfield positions. Evelyn Salisbury was star home-run hitter; while Margaret Haldane, Julia Myhrs, and Marguerite James contributed many points co bring the girls co victory. The first game with Oak Ridge went to the opponents, also the second game with Rochester. The next game, however, which was with Ferndale and was the fastest game of the season, resulted in Birmingham leading by two points. The following week the team was credited with another game, this from Hazel Park. On May 26 the girls went to Northville and returned victorious. This was followed by the concludin.~ game with Farmington, from where they again returned the winners.
T CllU 1lllS 1927 Tennis attracted considerable attention last spring. \Vhen Coach Van Winkle announced the first tournament, the purpose of which was co inspect those able in the art of racket- wielding, over twenty men entered the tourney. A play-off was staged, and although several track aspirants, who were not allowed to participate in both sports, ranked high, a strong team was selected .ind announced after the conclusion of the second tournament. Those who were chosen to defend the Maroon and \Vhite in the net game were William Pollock, Frederick Whittlesey, Clark Smith and Robert Muzzy. The successful completion of their ten match schedule with a percentage of . 500 was evidence of the quartet's ability. All four were awarded varsity letters and Pollock was chosen captain of the tennis crew now ,1ct1 vc. William Pollock, Robert Muzzy, H . Clark Smith, Fred Whittlesey was the only one of Whittlesey the four co graduate.

Friendships that are made during School Days are, many times, the finest friendships that you 'll ever know. The memory of your boyhood and girlhood friends will linger for a long, long time through REMBRANDT PORTRAITS. We appreciate the honor of having made the portraits of the present Senior Class, and we invite all the other members of the School to avail themselves of our Studios. "Father" and "Mother" are often very shy about having their "pictures taken." But in your room at home, we know, you'd like to have a good portrait of both of them. When you come down try to bring Dad and Mother, too.
