(Thia PIPER Is an official publication of Baldwin High School, Birmingham, Michigan,)

E PEOPLE of the United States are lucky! We live under the most perfect government yet conceived for the freedom of the individual. We are at liberty to think, speak, worship, and write as we please. Everyone is on an equal level, for we all have one priceless heritage-Dem ocracy! When we are born, we all have the same opportunities. It depends upon the individual whether he makes the most of these opportunities or lets them pass.

Our parents start us out in life; here we have the opportunity of learning obedience, courage, co-operation, and loyalty. Then we are sent to school, primarily to further our education. However, the school offers much more than mental training; it offers a multitude of opportunities. To learn the fundamentals of the democratic way, we students practice good citizenship through participation in school affairs. We are given a voice in school government and are encouraged to take responsibilities.

In a program of athletics open to all, we build strong bodies and learn good sportsmanship and team-work. We learn to compete hard, to take defeat and victory. When we go to school, we meet many kin::ls of people and learn how to get along with everyone; we are moulded into a brotherhood, with individual and mutual interests. Everyone can be everyone else's friend and companion. We are encouraged to realize the best that is in us, and to regard achievement as a form of sell-realization. When we have worked to the best of our abilities, our achievement is acknowledged in the form of graduation and honors. Where else in the world today would we have all these opportunities? We're all a part of the democratic way of life, our way of living and our way of doing! We thank God for the things which make these possible: the schools for our training, our parents for our environment, and our country for democracy!

''One Nation Indivisible'' Every man has something of the patriot and the dreamer in him. At certain times and in certain men this patriotic fervor is greatest, and it was at one of those times and in some of those certain men that the dream of America was begun. Because its courageous settlers valued liberty beyond even life itself, this dream came true. America has not always been as united as it is today. When the thirteen original colonies separated themselves from the powerful mother country, England, they tore themselves from a strong support. A few farsighted men realized that unless the thirteen states became strongly welded together they would be conquered either by some strong, unified foreign power or by their own lack of unity. Therefore, they urged the independen t conscious states to rely less upon themselves and to co-operate. The states had to become interdepend ent. This was necessary because not all the states were equally rich in the same resources. Exchange is a nation's lifeblood. Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and others realized that with animosity between the states no state could thrive. As the thirteen states became seventeen and then nineteen, and then twenty-four and still more, the necessity for preserving the country as one indivisible union became more and more evident. As state after state was added, the products of those states were added to those which had to be consumed nationally or sent abroad. Gradually the North leaned towards manufactur ing and the South turned to plowing its fertile fields. Slavery, which had been instituted in 1619, was the natural requisite of the South; for slaves had been imported originally to -work upon the plantations of Virginia and the Carolinas. The people of New England, who had come to America in search of freedom, at first scorned to enslave others. Later, as machinery took the place of manpower in the factories of the North, there was no need for slavery because the demand for manufactur ed goods enabled the factory owners to hire free workers and still make money. This difference between the industrial North and the agricultural South led to the South's seceding from the Union to form a confederacy of its own which should be free from the North's influence. Again national unity was threatened. Just as the men of eighty-odd years before had risen to save their new-born country from dissolution through lack of unity, in 1861 another man rose from the chaos of a divided nation and made it whole again. That gaunt, lonely man whose deepset eyes saw beyond the issues of his day and dreamed of a free, united land was Abraham Lincoln. At the time of his election the people ridiculed him, but today he is a national hero because he signified all the best things in America: liberty, brotherhood, courage, and unity.

In the years that followed the Civil War more states were added to the Union, more stars shone against the flag's true blue. During those years brave men fought to keep our country free; and others, as brave as the original settlers, fought to keep it together. To govern a vast, wild West from the distance and culture of the East was no easy task, and many men went to fight lawlessness who never came back. There are no monuments erected to those men; but there is one eternal reminder of their courage: the word United in our country's name. Then the Machine Age came upon America with all its force and affected every phase of American life. It has caus,d much economic trouble, but it has unified our country through the automobile, the airplane, and countless other inventions. But with the age of speed came a world war which shook the world. The effects of that war have not yet begun to wear off although a new war has set in; and after came the problems which endanger American unity today. One of the problems is a migrant population, wandering from place to place, following the harvesting of crops, a weak strand in the ties which bind America together. Despite our high standards of living there are still millions who live in squalor and poverty. This is an age-old situation, for there have always been the poor but never in as great numbers as today. The recent interstate commerce laws, which, if allowed to increase unchecked, would soon divide our nation into forty-eight separate units, each dying because it is unable to sustain itself by itself, are another element which prevents our unity. Various foreign powers, such as Germany, are seeking to alienate Americans of their blood from the rest of the people and to create disunion in America. America, once termed the melting pot of the world, is awakening to the danger of one nationality being segregated from another. No country is ever indivisible if its people are divided in any way. The signers of the Constitution realized this when they urged interstate cooperation. Lincoln saw this when he fought slavery. People have long known that the real cause of Europe's almost constant battles, eternal dissension, and selfish greediness was the fact that Europe is divided into so many little countries, each protecting its own rights. It is only today, however, that Americans are avoiding Europe's catastrophe by merging all the cµfferences in our country into one harmonious whole. Today we stand at the beginning of a new era which promises prosperity and progress to those who believe in the future of our country. It is only through faith, tolerance, and farsightedne ss that our country can become and remain, "One Nation Indivisible." -Carolyn Kane.

Participation in Government

J PARTICIPATION IN GOVERNMENT Action in the Congress: Bob Cole with. the gavel and Mary Gardner with the pen. (President and Secretary.) Mock election of the President: a taste of the real thing. Democrat Bob Foley attempts lo dominate Republican Barbara Forster on the national election question. "Just sign on the dotted line!" Howard Ward and Bob Traxler get signers on a petition for a Student Congress candidate. Senior Control Day: fun Garfield rules with a firm hand.

The Administrative Council consists of the superintendent and all princi• pals of the city's schools. In its meetings matters of policy are taken up and settled before being brought before the teachers and students.

Baldwin teachers in executive session. The regular meetings of faculty with principal represent teacher participation in the administration of school affairs.

Any school operated on a thoroughly democratic basis makes provisions for student participation in school gov• emment. Baldwin's Student Congreaa is a truly representative body and en•

joys unusual prestige.

One of the most popular of the Congress projects is the Noon Hour Recreation Room-so popular, in fact, that every• body bolts his lunch to get back to school early and join in the fun. Activities are dancing, ping-pong, movies, checkers, and just plain chatter.

Jo Uack) Armstrong, All-American Boy, plays politics by passing out Wheaties to win votes. Must have been a bright idea;

he won the vice presidency of the Student Congress.

Designed by the Art department at the instigation of Bob Cole, Baldwin's new school flag was dedicated before the Plymouth game. The Maple Leaf banner flies under Old Glory, presented, with the pole, by the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars. Fred Jeffers, Jim Thomas, and Newell Wright constitute the guard of honor.

Annually the seniors take over for the traditional Student-Control Day. Here Jean Burton subs for Miss Hansen in a French class.

As its share in making Birmingham beautiful, the Baldwin Student Congress plants a malus fioribunda ("Flowering Crab" to you!)

Not even the most woman-hating Baldwin male could resist buying a pencil he didn't need from

such a

charming miss. All due credit ta Rosa• Rosalind Randall for her outstanding work in promoting the Congress pencil sale_

Clme8 and Masses

CLASSES AND MASSES Preparation for assembly: Setting up the noisemakers are John Finch, Hartland Smith, and Dale Clements. This is a weekly task, but they love it! Jean Wagner makes up Bob Garfield for Tiah. The faculty must be pleased; conscientious Sally Booth in study hall. Early morning reprieve, but the guilty must suffer. Romance can't wait: Nick Martin and Irene Donnelly have a word or ten between classes.

Everything from family troubles to vocations is discussed in the social problems class, new lo Baldwin this year. (Don't judge its purpose by its environment! This happens to be the only room available.)

Open lo those students who plan to enter business schoob are several good commercial courses. Good bookkeepers are always in demand, they hope!

"The way to a man's heart is through his stomach." Perhaps that is why the cooking classes are filled to overflowing with domestic-minded girls who stir up a mean P,Opover and have a finger in every pie. Something nice to know when a dale drops in for a nice, quiet evening at home.

This might easily be a picture taken on the set of any of Arch Oboler'a famous radio skits. The enthusiasm of the speech classes has surpassed the expectations of the instructor, Mrs. Forsyth. (Mrs. Forsyth, Corajoyce Lane, Howard Breitmeyer, Gordon Deneau, Jim

Schermerhorn,

Barbra

Holland,

Helen Rounds, Merle Dunn.)

Here students try out any possible talent or taste for draftsmanship. Will the fields of architecture or engineering be for them? Thia opportunity to ex• plore their abilities is welcomed by more students every year.

The creative proclivities of Baldwin find expreaaion in many

students

strange activities.

Here are Dorothy

Dye and a brain-child of hers. She is a firm believer in "a thing of beauty

is a joy forever." But . • • ?

"Do not trump your partner's ace!" This is the womout motto of the members of the beginning Bridge Club and one which

they mumble in their sleep after a Tuesday seBBion of duplicate bridge. Under the kibitzer direction of Mrs. Mary Hartwick the members leam to shuffle a fast deck.

Knit, Sew, and Chatter is definitely not all chatter. Accomplishments adom members daily in the form of sweaters, socks, mittens, etc. Mias Eleanor Miller sponsors the group.

Lights! Camera! No action! Baldwin'• Camera Club makes a series of portrait studies for exchange exhibits with other schools of the state.

Enlarged to

accommodate

greater

number of students, the school library is now something more than a mere "book nook." Its many volumes invite to study or recreational reading.

Crawling under dusty chairs on a dusty floor is defmilely not a new way lo reduce, nor is ii a treasure hunt. These energetic crawlers are members of the "ground crew"

of the Assembly

Club

sealing the audience.

Said to have the best-equipped physics laboratory in the State, Birmingham is proud of this department, ruled over by W. S. Toothacker who comes early and staya late so students can get off their thirty-odd experiments and graduate.

Making up the budget and then devising ways and means of getting the money are the chief problems of THE PIPER business staff. Of course, there's . also the matter of good bookkeeping and careful management. John Rosso is business manager, having skipped all the intervening jobs except a place on the football program. Right hand man is Bob Fis:1er, efficient sales manager for THE PIPER and HIGHLANDER. Advertising manager is beauteous Dorothy Stephanek, tops in salesmanship. Contributing valuable help on sales and ads are Margaret Newell, Nancy McCarty, and Holt Ackerman.

Munch! Munch! "Everyone through? All right- back to work!" THE PIPER editorial staff gets hungry when working until the wee sma' hours. It all started one Sunday when Miss McGiffin called the staff to come over and work. Arriving around 2:30 at her house, we stayed until nearly 11:00 at night. The following Sundays were repetitions; much was accomplished and weight gained, for Miss McGiffin most generously fed the crew sandwiches, ice cream, and cake. Pat Kennedy, Carol Watt, Sally Carey, Margaret Stanton, Sue Averill, and Miss McGiffin are rightly called THE PIPER'S Kitchen Staff, though other staff members also worked there occasionally.

Often in the autumn night Baldwin's halls echoed with the groans and laughter of a happy group to whose member3 THE FIVE O'CLOCK WHISTLE is only a popular song. For they were the staff of the 1940 Football Program. But their devotion was fully merited: The Maple team won the coveted Twin Valley League Championship and had a great season. In the staff's opinion, the 1940 Program was the best ever. Perhaps others agreed, for there were only half enough copies! Working are Albert Hirsch, associate editor; Frank O'Toole, managing editor;Jannie Heinmiller, Sally Carey, photography; and Margaret Stanton. Biggest buy in years for the money was the football program put

out by Baldwin Publications for the Birmingham-Royal Oak Turkey Day game. Holding their breath and crossing their fingers the staff took the risk of printing 1,600 programs, the la'rgest number ever printed for the Thanksgiving game! At 7:45 Wednesday morning, the sales staff, composed of thirtyEix students, started out with packs of twenty programs each which sold like hotcakes. Those few copies left for Thursday were gone before the end of the first quarter. "Could have easily sold a thousand more," was the verdict of the harrassed salesmen as the crowd clamored for copies. Helen nounds was sales manager and foe Armstrong her able assistant.

Deadlines, word counts, copy paper, slugs-THE HIGHLANDER has a language of its own. Press nights, 110 is a bedlam with frenzied reporters tearing in and out and last minute news stories clicking on the old publications typewriter which would have been retired to the junk heap years ago had economic conditions permitted. Proofs are read and dummies pasted Saturday mornings when normal human beings are still in bed. Headline writers strive to get "One Nation Indivisible Winner Announced" in a two column head. And so THE HIGHLANDER comes out again right on time-on

Friday. Shown are Bruce Carey, associate editor; Bill Roberts, editor; Emily Knapp, woman's editor; Barbra Holland, associate editor; and Bob Craig, sports. With only three classes of printing, the press room is a busy scene as the boys handle work on THE HIGHI.ANDER besides getting out programs, schedule cards, blanks, and numerous other kinds of printed material for the city's schools. Charles Adams and Howard Delong champ were chief press men this year.

Ballad for Americans One of the red letter days on the Baldwin High School calendar this last year was the day when BALLAD FOR AMERICANS was presented for the students, It wasn't given one day and then forgotten the next, however; for it appeared before all the schools and many clubs of Birmingham. Altogether it made a dozen !Jppearances. The A Capella Choir worked long hours with Victor Ulrich, director, who also sang the baritone solo.

Not only was the day which the choir performed for assembly a red letter day but it also marked the crowning achievement of the Birmingham Musicale and supporters of this community to secure a new grand piano for Baldwin High School. After much hard work, the day dawned when the school not only had a grand piano but a special room off the stage for it! The choir has the following members:

Sweet Melody Not so well known to the public as the band is the orchestra. While the band is often brought before our eyes at football and bas. ketball games and through participation in music festivals, the orches• Ira has a quiet, less publicized, and completely different role. Both the band and orchestra fall under the jurisdiction of the Baldwin Band and Orchestra Council. This group is composed of first chair members of each section of the band and orchestra and is entirely independent of any other school organization. During the past · year the orchestra has been called on to provide background music for the football banquet and has given two con• certs open to the public.

A few of the outstanding members of the orchestra who took part in the District Solo Festival are Paul Heinsohn in the piano division; Vernon Wendorph in the tuba; David Cole in trombone; and Francis Buckeridge in clarinet. All were rated high. Members of the orchestra are: first row- Bob Peck, Robert Loeffler, Francis Buckeridge, Joan Hadjisky, Shirley Trump, Robert Leslie, Bill Axler; second row- Catherine Witt, Grace Bowes, Dorothy Heacock, Tom Austin, Harrison Cornell, Harold Jones, Steven Blaisus, Spencer Peck, Margaret Richey, Katherine Kemp, Bill De Vault, James Church, Carolee Sproull, Jan Coul, Dorothy Jackson; third row- Robert LaRa, Charles Reynolds, Robert Traxler, Robert Church, Vernon Wendorph, David Cole, Al Peabody, Paul Heinsohn, pianist; and A. W . Berndt, director.

Baldwin Band Always in demand for gala occasions is the Baldwin High School band, Birmingham is fortunate to have a band that is always rated high against all competition. From early fall until late spring the band makes many public appearances. First are football games which wouldn't be complete without the band, and home basketball games in which it has a part. Then it participates in parades such as the ones on Hallowe'en and Decoration Day. The band participates in at least one annual concert put on by the Music Department. In the spring it presents several Sunday concerts. Recently the band took part in the Southeastern Michigan Band and Orchestra Festival at Ann Arbor and was given superior rating for ability in sight reading and concert playing. There are as many students who go out for music as any other school activity.

All are given an equal chance and work industriously to have a place in this organization. Much credit is due Arnold Berndt, who has been director fourteen years. Members of the band are: First row-N. Pierce, L. Bartholomew, M. Richey, C. Sproull, D. Heacock, K. Kemp, S. Peck, S. Crim, R. LaRa, C. Reynolds, A. Joslyn, R. Lewis, R. Cummings, J. Maynard;· second row-T. Allen, F. Buckeridge, J. Mellinger, R. Church, H. Cornell, C. Martz, A. Peabody, R. Kohr, D. Burnett, D. Stewart, B. Underwood; third row-E. Boomer, J. Hopson, B. Sproull, D. Austin, B. Kreidler, B. Wyatt, P. Martz, S. Blaisus, N. Danyo, J. Butler, F. Sevin, R. Heth, W. Wemet, B. De Vault; fourth row- H. Jones, B. Peck, D. Cole, J. Church, P. Guest, T. Austin, M. Harper, R. McConkie, W. Wacker, J. Robertson, R. Traxler, P. Patterson, L. Busch, A. W. Berndt, director; D. Beisel, C. Behn, and V. Wendorph.

The Broadway production of HELLZAPOPPIN was the theme of Baldwin High School's musical comedy called HI-ZAPOPPIN. In the 24 acts 150 students were cast, and the audience also took part in the fun. Pictures of some of the studentwrilten, acted, and directed production are shown on these pages; but no pictures could do it justice. The stage crew, under the direction of Miss Joy Stewart. transformed the stage into a drug store. A regular counter was obtained ancl. a "juke" was placed in the comer to fwnish music for several of the feature attractions. The lighting effects and complete microphone system were furnished and operated by Ted Johnstone. Miss Ruth Hull and Miss Nina Kitts were the faculty advisem for the production.

Noteworthy is that in the two such productions Baldwin haa offered, some 300-odd students have participated. Students desiring to make the expenses of their Washington trip were given opportunity to sell tickets at a high commission, and some of the profits went toward the trip. One of the funniest entertaining features of the evening was the football number starring Birmingham's champions. The boys, dressed in lull ballet costume, tripped onto the stage to throw the audience into hysteria. In true HELLZA-POPPlN' spirit, a chorus danced the BOOMPSA DAISY, each inviting a member of the audience

to join in the aisles. Hilarious fun resulted. Another outstanding act was the cowboy number in which Gladys Rease starred. Bill Mutch sang with the chorus, "When the Moon Comes Over Madison Square." In the last performance of the evening, the entire audience enthusiastl• cally joined the cast in singing, "I Am An American," as a tap chorus beat out the rhythm.

Tish A rollicking comedy was the play chosen for the 1941 season. After YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU and WHAT A LIFE, it had to be good. Probably no play has been more thoroughly enjoyed. The play was directed by Miss Ruth Hull and her assistant. Patty Burke, student director. Every member of the cast gave a delightful performance. Anne "Tish" Savage played the title role; Percy Guest and Nancy McCarty lent the romantic interest; Mary Gardner and Warren Watts were the arguing playwrights; Doris Protheroe and Esther Smith rocked the audience with their old maid roles. Sue Averill very adequately played the Mexican maid; Bob Garfield was the fearless sheriff; Nick Martin the bandit, and Nancy Kim his accomplice; John Finch was the villain, and Sally Genung his daughter.

"Let's go skating" is the invitation of students and teachers; so skates are taken from attics and basements, Dad's oil can is stolen from under his nose as he lubricates the car, and elusive skating keys are hunted. Dignity is hurt and knees skinned, but-spring is here!

Lesson in arithmetic-2 p_lus 2 equals 4. The Dalee girls lead the class in addition! Janice DaLee and Barney Ellisu sually walk home every night (the long way) with sister Nancy and Jack McCormick. Unlike most inharmonious sister acts, this one really works. It's easy to see that Barney and Jack have similar tastes-and good taste at that!

The grand march at LA FIESTA, this year's version of the basketball dance.

Detail! Port arms! The Birmingham R.O.T.C., unofficially organized early this spring, is put through its paces by the drillmaster, a former major of the U. S. Army. Made up of Baldwin students, age 16 to 18, the squad was developed independently of school sponsorship since an official organization requires a school enrollment of 1000 or more. The unit expects to march in the Memorial Day Parade.

U you want to hear all the latest gossip, borrow somebody's ffiGHLANDER, have a snowball light, or pull somebody's Model T out of the mud, visit the parking lot some seventh hour.

The lunch hour rush in genial Ralph Wilson's drug store. One of the popular spots with Baldwin guys and gals.

America is "the land of the free." The term surely seems to apply to Shain'.s magazine stand. "Drop in any time" is the motto as the '"Scotch Edition" appears on the racks.

Famous fashion designers and seam• stresses of the future are trained in the clothing classes. Every day skirts, blouses, and dresses are cut out, basted, fitted, and sewed.

The post office is a popular place with Baldwin students. Many a trail has been worn between the post office and their homes by Jane Ellerby and Virginia Matthews two eager correspondents who wait for the modem_ Pony Express to come in.

Five good reasons for a successful season: Frank Armstrong, Dick Neely, Joe Armstrong, Hugh Mack, and Bill Hopkins. Each was outstanding in his partiular position and gave every game all he had.

Adding color and spirit to this year's successful sports seasons were Anne Savage, Mike Carney and Amy Roosevelt three of the best cheerleaders seen (or het:ud?) all year.

Plymouth Rock gallops around

right end in an attempt to skirt the Leaf's alert line.

T. V. A. A. champions for the second consecutive year, these boys fully deserve the title, being undefeated in the league. The Maroons have ta.ken , the crown ever since the school entered the League.

T. V. A. A. Champions The 1940 Baldwin Hiqh School football team romped through a full nine-game schedule and wound up with one of the best records ever compiled by the Maroon and White. In annexing a second consecutive Twin Valley crown, the Maples totaled seven victories, one tie, and one defeat. The squad started the victory march with a bang and whitewashed the first five opponents before a lastminute, long, game-tying Ferndale pass dashed hopes for a clean slate. Two weeks later the Maroons engaged in a championship battle with the Ecorse Red Raiders that will never be forgotten. Behind 14-0 early in the game, the Maple Leafs slowly whittled away that lead until a last second pass was completed for a 19-14 game-saver. The only sad remembrance of this otherwise successful campaign occurred Thanksgiving Day before five thousand wet fans at Pierce Field. The unerring toe of Royal Oak's Bob Martin place-kicked the pigskin neatly between the uprights midway in the first half to sink Birmingham 3-0. Of twenty-two lettermen, fifteen have performed in their last football contest here: Dave Kennedy, John Adams, Frank Armstrong, Dick Neely, Sheldon Olson, Jim Wade, Jim Lee, Jim Garfield, Don Hoeltzel, Bill

Completely overwhelming Cranbrook, 39-0, Birmingham impussively won its opening game at Pierce Field. Many fumbles citla)mE@Septions paved the way for the high score. ID:tg i? Made, Joe and Frank Armstrong, Paul Kelley, and Bill Hopkins added touchdowns. WAYNE The Maples traveled to Wayne to defeat their first Twin Valley opponent 21-0. Olie Olson plunged three yards for the 'only sc~ t\@i first half. Hugh Mack and Frank Armstrong ""=dred 'ol.i. beautiful SO-yard gallops in the second half to put the game on ice. Out~ standing were Frank Armstrong's punting and John Adams' defensive play.

YPSILANTI ..-'laying at Ypsilanti, the local lads conquered the home eleven by scoring in every quarter except the first. Paul Kelley boowMfQ:ll~ ut of five extra points for a spectacular recoYd~ ra~ Armstrong injured his knee after playing brilliantly and was out for most of the remaining contests.

DEARBORN The Maroons whitewashed the highly rated Dearborn team 8-0 at Dearborn. Scoring its third straight Twin Valley victory, Birmingham secured two precious points when Marshall, ~ p q l back, was tackled behind his goal line for a ~ ety/Late in the fourth quarter Hugh Mack scored the Maples' touchdown on a two-yard plunge. John Adams, ace center, fractured his ankle, jeopardizing Baldwin's future victory hopes.

PLYMOUTH

Aided by Bill Hopkins' three touchdowns, Baldwin defeated Plymouth 19-.6 at Pierce Field. Fumbles and interceptions robbed ~ M~ les of added counters. Dave Kennedy, Dick Neely Jim Lee, and Bill Hopkins played well for Birmingham, while 220-pound Jack Backer, Norman, and Seguin. Rock backs, kept Plymouth in the contest by alert playing. ECORSE

EAST DETROIT Birmingham remained undefeated, untied, and unscored upon by scorin! touchdowns in the second and third quarters. Altha 1(1 au@rining East Detroit 237 yards to 67, the Mapl s d ften'o/o st many scoring opportunities mostly from penalties. Hugh Mack and Jim Lee played heads-up ball and sparked the team to victory. FERNDALE

Playing for the first time in two years under lights, the Birmingham squad saw a six-point lead vanish suddenly and provided fans with one of the year's most thrilling games. The MaB1es s_p,red late in the first half after an 80-yard march ~ the ball to the one-yard line. Joe Armstrong dived over for the all-important score. In the final quarter Femdale's Crane heaved a beautiful 35-yard touchdown pass to Price, Railsplitter back, for the game-tying markers.

In the most exciting tilt of the year, Birmingham nosed out Ecorse in the last minute 19-14 and cinched its second consecutive Twin Valley crown. The Red Raiders scored both J ;>f.lfhd~~s on freak breaks in the first quarter. Hugh Mack IfIC-td 80 yards for the first Maroon score in the second quarter. A run and lateral by Bill Merrill and Olie Olson scored the second touchdown in the final frame, and in the last minute a pass from Hopkins to Mack provided the winning margin. ROYAL OAK

Although the annual Turkey Day classic was played before five thousand wet and shivering enthusiasts, Royal Oak gave/4e ~ngham team a hot reception. In the mud the~ ap~' power machine stalled and a beautiful 30-yard field goal by Acom Bob Martin proved the margin of victory. Three times in the last half desperate Leaf drives were halted short of pay dirt.

On Your Marks With veterans in every event except the high and low hurdles, the Baldwin track team is looking forward to another successful season. Bob Foley, Joe Armstrong, Jack Steelman and Bob Cole, every one a letterman, will be at the starting point for the 100 and 220 yard dashes. Stan Peterson, a speedy young sophomore, will be running with the veterans. Dick Gilbert hopes to break his own record for the 440 this year. He is a valuable member of the relay team and a pointwinner in the broad jump. Briar Bemister and Allen Jones, tv:o veteran half-milers, and Jack Brown, miler,

hope to have the distance races well in hand. There are many capable letter winners in the field events. In the broad jump, Dick Gilbert, Sheldon Olson, Joe Armstrong, and Hugh Mack, every one capable cf jumping twenty feet, may be expected to account for a lot of points this year. John Pilkington, capable pole vaulter for two years, and Fred Zoellin, promising IOB, are two worthy men for that event. Charles Gravlin, another sophomore, is giving the senior high-jumpers, Olie Olson and Tom Billings, a lot of competition this year. Putting the shot will probably find Olson and Mack with another sophomore, Don Fisher, heaving with all his might right along with them. The veterans and the sophs, Fisher, Hopkins, Gravlin, Peterson and Zoellin, every one of them giving his best, will try to give Baldwin another of its traditionally fine track teams.

Hit and Run Eight veterans and a handful of promising young rookies will talce the field April 23, with one thought in mind: To live up to the record set by Baldwin baseball teams in the last four years. Veterans are Olie Olson, slugging Swede, playing first base and utility catcher; Howie Crull and Derek Bolton, holding down second and short stop with their usual good fielding; Dave Kennedy, one of the last year's best hitters, playing either right field or behind the plate; Dick Neely, good center fielder and rugged pitcher; Hugh Mack, who runs with a football gallop after fly balls in left field; pitching with speed and curves will be Ted Corson and Paul Kelley. Dennis Therrian, first baseman and

pitcher; Bill Spiegel. first baseman and outfielder; John Adams, catcher, infielder, and anything else he is asked t::, do; CHarlie Chapman, infielder. All of these with good batting eyes, will keep the first nine on their toes. Facing a tough schedule, with six T. V. A. A. league games and outside-theleague teams such as Cranbrook, ·Royal Oak, and Ferndale. the Baldwin nine knows it will have to fight for every game. There will be a strong squad of reserves headed by players such as Bill Galling, pitcher and outfielder; Steve Giffels pitcher; Harold Watts, catcher; Hank Dahlquist, infield and outfield; Norm Flemington utility; Larry Mintling, left-handed pitcher; DeLongchamp and Larry Johnson, outfield. Coach Wurster will have three teams made up of ninth, tenth, and eleventh graders, besides his first squad that will probably consist of 15 men.

Dave Kennedy, captain of the '41 gol: team, is probably one of Baldwin's great est golfers. Under the guidance of his fa !her, Dave has played golf most of hil life. His fine shooting has been instrumental in many of the team's victories. Hi1 coaching of the younger members of thE team has been helpful. Dave has eamed letters in football, basketball, and baseball, as well as golf.

The golf team, a consistent winner, is looking forward to another successful sea• son this year. Under the guidance of Lloyd Chapman and Captain Kennedy the divot diggers Porter, Neely, Dahlquist, Wise and other promising younger players, have their minds set on a championship year. A tough schedule consisting of sii T.V.A.A. teams, Redford Union, and Farmington will provide plenty of competition.

The racketeers of Baldwin. the tennis tec:m. will strive again this year to uphold the fine record of the past few years. Returning veterans include Fred Sevin, Bill Bell, Dick Denyes, and Nick Martin, while numerous other netmen will attempt to break into the matches. The schedule car• ries numerous tough opponents, but Coach Brierly has high hopes of a successful season.

Tall and quiet Charley Chapman holds the honor of being Baldwin's beat bowler. He has an average of 182 a g?Jlle and admits he once rolled a 277.

Flocking to Binningham's new bowling alley after school and evenings are huge gangs of Baldwin students. They enjoy this popular sport and acquire no mean skill.

Completing one of its best seasons, this Baldwin Junior High School team promises 10 carry on Baldwin's traditions of fast,

intelligent cage squads,

Baldwin G. A. A.-ers are steady birdswatters and wouldn't trade their fun and skill at badminton for any of the "major sports." Jeanne Burton, Ethel Patterson, and Esther Smith lest their skill.

Swish! Rather disappointing when the ball only hobbles a few feet, isn't ii, girls? So the story goes and still more practice is sometimes needed. Champions? Who knows, perhaps some day we'll see such famous names as Marion Gilbreath, Jeanne Merritt, Maud Keller, Nancy McCarty, Virginia Kalbfus and Mary Lawson on the long list of women champions.

Did someone say that was a good-looking hoof print or rider? During the early fall and spring days fancies do not always tum to love, but to horses. Quite a decisive change but nevertheless true. Such famous people as Marge Walton, Betty Lou Hock, Barbra Holland, Beverly Johnstone and Barbara Foster are early birds this year.

RECOGNITION OF ACHIEVEMENT Caps and gowns: The Seniors have their annual Swing-Out. New maroon gowns make the cexemony impxeasive. "Will I evex make it?" Ralph Mitchell looks wistfully at the Johnson Memorial Plaque. Athletic honors: Coach Wurster pondexs over football lettexs with Jack Roberts lending a helping hand. The -editor must have xeceived a vote: Margaret Stanton and Sue Averill tabulate WHO'S WHO. June Senior class officers: Jim Lee, Jim Garlield. Sid Wilkins, and Bob Txaxler- proving it's a man's world!

Quill and Scroll Quill and Scroll?"

The sophomore who is just beginning his three-year term in the senior high school may well ask, "Just what is Quill and Scroll?"

The first thing one must do is to stay in the upper twenty-five per cent of his class. This is indeed a hard requirement but a necessary one, for students must not neglect their studies while working for Publications.

When he is told that Quill and Scroll is an international honor society for "distinguished work on high school publications" with headquarters at the Medill School of Journalism, Northwestern University; that the local chapter is known as the Booth-White chapter and was chartered in 1930; that those students deserving of the honor are recommended by the adviser of Baldwin Publications, and by staff members; that those recommended must be approved by the executive-secretary; that pins or keys are given to the members and their initiation lees are paid through a trust fund which is maintained; and that an initiation dinner is given to honor new members, the next logical question is, "And how can I make

Join Baldwin Publications early, preferably in the tenth grade, and work hard. Quill and Scroll is awarded not only for editorial work but also for exceptional work on advertising, circulation, sales, and business staffs. Even if one doesn't make Quill and Scroll, the experience of working on the staffs of the PIPER and HIGHLANDER; planning pictures and making lay-outs; doing advertising which closely parallels that in the advertising fields outside of school; managing circulation and sales, or handling and budgeting large sums of money, is priceless. 47

National Honor Society An active chapter of National Honor Society has been established during the past year which commemorates the tenth anniversary of the Society at Baldwin. This picture is typical of one of the group's 8:00 a.m. meetings. Why 8:00 a.m.? The members have so much to do during and after school that they can never all meet together later in the day. Birmingham National Honor Society differs from many other chapters in that members must now be in the upper quarter of their class instead of upper third. Initiates do not know that they have been elected until they are called from the audience for induction. Members are chosen for scholarship, leadership, service, and character. The all A students have no better chance than others if they do not measure up to the four cardinal principles. The faculty. chooses no more than five per cent from

the l lA, ten per cent 12B, and fifteen per cent 12A. The average number inducted at Baldwin is about fifteen. Cooley High School was invited to give the ceremony of induction this year. Pontiac, Mt. Clemens, Royal Oak, and Ferndale have also done this service for Birmingham. The Society has been raising money to purchase properties for the induction ceremony, for which a script was recently completed. Present members of the active chapter are: Bob Cole, president; Bob Traxler, vie~ president; Helen Rounds, secretary; Dave Cole, treasurer; and members, Barbara Allison Bill Tighe, Jeanne Burton, Dick Gilbert. Bob Fisher, Barbara Fletcher, Paul Dunn, Doris Franklin, and Bill Merrill. Advisers of the group are Adele Halladay and Merle Taylor.

We Delight to Honor BALDWIN'S OWN WHO'S WHO Ever since there has been a PIPER there has been a "Who's Who." It is the honor conferred upon Baldwin's great by their fellow students. Each year every senior high school student votes for three to five outstanding boys or girls whom he considers real ''Who's Who" material The votes are then tabulated and the list cut off where there is a decided drop, a group of not more than sa: having been decided upon. Service, personality, popularity, and co-operative spirit are ranked high. Rarely do Baldwin students make an error in judgment in their selections.

(For Honor Society, Jet page 48)

JOHNSON MEMORIAL AWARD

QUil.I. AND SCROLL

The Tohnson Memorial Award, considered the highest honor conferred by Baldwin High School, is won by the best student athlete each year.

This is Baldwin's oldest honor society, founded in 1930; however, no charter members of the Booth-White Chapter were elected until 1936--after the depression.

The plaque was insliluted in honor and memory of Coach George F. Johnson, player and coach al Baldwin, who taught and practiced the principles of clean living, good sportsmanship, and high scholarship. Because of his high standards, the plaque was instituted after his death as a recognition for future Baldwin Athletes, Richard Gilbert, this year's winner, fully deserves the honor bestowed upon him. He has been a mainstay of the basketball team for the past three years, breaking the school record last year for points scored in one game and the record for a single season. He scored 144 points this year besides being a fast, alert, quickthinking floor worker. He has been an outstanding member of the track team for three years and holds the school record for the 440 with a lime of 52:2. He has a scholastic average of 3.89, less than two-tenths of a point under a straight "A" record.

Quill and Scroll is an international honor society for high school students who have done DISTINGUISHED work on publications. Oournalism alone does not count any more than other subjects.) To become eligible for membership, a student must have: done excellent work on one staff two years or several staffs one year: be in the upper quarter of his class in scholarship; be recommended by his adviser and staff members; shown high qualities of LEADERSHIP, CHARACTER, RESPONSIBILITY and COOPERATION; be approved by the Executive Secretary of the Society at Medill School of Journalism, Northwestern University. Outstanding writers are not the only ones lo be considered. Live wires in business, sales, circulation, and advertising are also eligible. This year the following were elected: Sue Averill for a really fine job as PIPER editor-in-chief, work on the football program, and on previous staffs; Bruce Carey: excellent work on THE HIGHLANDER and PIPER editorial and ad staffs; associate editor of HIGHLANDER;

An active board, consisting of the four coaches of boy's Sports,

Paul Dunn: advertising manager of THE HIGHLANDER almost since ii was founded; work on THE PIPER, a really capable ad man;

a sports reporter, and a member of the Student Congress, selects three outstanding senior boys from the letter winners, considering equally scholarship and athletics.

Dick Gilbert: sports writer for THE ECCENTRIC and HIGHLANDER; Sports Editor of THE PIPER; popular columnist on the school paper; editorial work on Football Program;

The names of the three are sent lo the Permanent Board which makes the final selection of the student athlete whose name is to be on the bronze plaque.

Helen Rounds: Sales Manager of '40 PIPER and Football Program; three years service on sales staffs;

The honorary board consisis of Mrs. George F. Johnson, Ray H. Bechtold, principal; a member of the Lions Club, usually Howard D. Crull, superintendent; Vida B. McGiffin, adviser of publications; and Dale McClelland, president of the Varsity Club which established the plaque, 56

Elaine Staples: capable, conscientious, circulation manager of THE HIGHLANDER; assistant on PIPER. Excellent worker on several sales staffs; Bob Fisher: assistant sales manager of '40 PIPER, and circulation manager of THE HIGHLANDER and '41 PIPER. Very able work on PIPER ad staff, ranking second in amount of advertising sold.

CONSUMER EDUCATION Now and then studies are made showing the dollara and cents value of the high school market. Although Baldwin has not made such a study recently, here is a group representing no inconsiderable buying power. High school students constitute a present as well as a future market. They generally select their own clothes; their likes and dislikes influence the grocery list; their devoted parents lavish gifts upon them for birthday• and graduation; they even have at least a small voice in the purchase of the family car and the gasoline that operates it. Most important of all, this group represents great potential purchasing power, and it has learned to patronize the merchants of its own and nearby cities.

A GENERAL MOTORS MASTERPIECE

"FOR

A NUMBER OF YEARS, we had been driving lowestpriced cars because we thought we had to. Then one day a friend of ours, who owns a Pontiac, persuaded us to talk to our Pontiac dealer. "And what an enlightening visit this was! We had no idea a big, beautiful, luxurious Pon-

tiac "Torpedo" with Fisher body was priced so close to all three. When we figured the monthly payments, the difference was hardly noticeable. "But what a difference in cars! More comfort, finer performance, easier handling plu.s the added prestige a Pontiac provides. And our friend said Pontiac's economy would rival that of a11y car. Boy-have we

been missing something! But not any more-we're Pontiac owners now. And we're urging all the people we meet to see their Pontiac dealers!" *PONTIAC PRICES BEGIN AT $828 FOR THE DE LUXE "TORPEDO" SIX BUSINESS COUPE

Delivered at Pontiac, Michigan. State tax, optional equipment and accessories-extra. Prices and specifications subject to change without notice. ONO'JlilMOIII, _M/#11111/T IN ANY Mt/lJEJ.

Who Are Our Custo mers? Eleven years ago this company could literally walk, within a few minutes, to .the office of any of its printing customers. That was when we had less than 10 employees. Today, with over 75 employees, The Birmingham Eccentric serves the entire southeastern part of Michigan including Detroit, Port Huron, Mt. Clemens, Flint, Jackson, Grand Rapids, Saginaw and Lansing. For example: We serve 9 automobile companies, 17 advertising agencies, five public utilities, over 50 industrial organizations, and more than. half of the large retail stores of Detroit. We are metropolitan printers suburbanly located. Three salesmen are in Detroit daily selling our services. We hope that we may serve, tomorrow, the boys and girls of Baldwin when they step into the shoes of today's business leaders. Good luck to you, lads and lassies!
