1943 Piper Yearbook

Notice Concerning Alterations Made to Pages 69-74 of This Document

In order to ensure the functionality of the search tool associated with this yearbook it was necessary to alter pages 69-74 of the 1943 Piper yearbook. These pages contain the section show casing the senior portraits for the class of 1943, which were originally printed with the cursive signature of each senior rather than names with printed text.

Our OCR scanning technology cannot search cursive words. Therefore, we have annotated the original publication on these pages to include a text version of every name that appears of each page, organized by row and listed from left to right.

Copyrigh t 1943 by J:-ine Ha:d:n and Glenn White.

BALDWIN studenu contribute both to the actual winning of the war and to constructive preparation for the peac" that must follow. The necessities and innovations of war time serve a two-fold purpose at Baldwin. We render valuable service to our country now and at the same time store up a reserve of knowledge and skills for use in the post-war world.

Never before in the long history of the United States has so much responsibiliry been placed upon so many people. And the high schools of America have gladly assumed their own special share. We have made our watchword SERVICE, and we have lived up to its challenge It is, then, this year of work and preparation that the PIPER, 1943, will seek 10 commemorate.

Baldwin has done her best to relieve the manpower shortage in Birming• ham. Students swell the war-depleted ranks af community employees; over one- third of the students now have part-time employment in local businesses and offices. After the war these people will find that they possess a deep well of experience from which to draw for future work

Nor have we neglected the farmer. A call from the land brought droves of studenu to the farms as harvesters. By saving h•s c rop, we helped bnth the farmer and ourselves and liked the job so well that many students plan to migrate to the farms this summer.

Our peace-time vocabularies have been augmented and have taken on new meanings; we plnce emphasis on the useful and are learning that some home front jobs mun be done in the back yard. Practical courses enroll us, and we hav e found that, in spite of our trepidation, we enjoy them We arc up to our ears in volunteer work. Most of us have at least one nonpay i ng war job.

Attnck in all its a s pects is a fearful thing, but we have tried to prepare against it. Through elected r e presentative s we instituted protection for our school and our communiry, and we have trained groups of volunteer messengers and first -aid experts. Baldwin will not be wanting if an emergency does arise.

To meet the requirements of endurance and stamina set up by war• time training, a compulsory program of physical fitness wa s establi s hed rh is year. ln tho$e hours we may relax from the gr ind of the day .1nd yet learn how co co-ordinate our efforts with those of others. In additio n, we have been .lblc 10 keep our interscholastic' spores

Above :ill we have mainta ined our sense of balance. All work and no play will soon WE'ar even the strongest d<>wn. It is not an easy thing to interrupt the busy rush of war for fun .1nd recrea tion, but we have man.1ged ro do rhis. Plays, speakers, 3ssemblics, a nd just plain simple humor :tll co ntribute ro the general a i r of zestful living that characterizes Baldwin.

A year of hard work is almost finished In days to come we may look back upon the year with the deep satisfactio n and justifiable pride that come from rhe knowledge of a diffic u lt job we ll done Right now, however, we must keep living up ro the demands of each hour, using to the utmost the training and experience given us

We students have learned that by working together, rhe seemingly impossible can become a probabiliry. Therefore , with hi g h ideals of service, with faith in ourselves and our country, with quick response to every cha llenge, let us face the future unafraid and unfalteringly.

As their share in 1he national war effort most schools have initiated a "war-service" program. Hera at BaJdw.in we seek to exert our "war-service" efforu through the revision of existing courses of study and the introduction of other courses and other ac1ivi11es which will effectively gear 1he school program 10 the war effort.

We are concerned here with what takes place within the individual u a result of the program. We are concerned with developing an awareness of need and a willingness to serve. The extenc to which we accomplish these rhings will measure the service which our school program can render.

In respon!e to an appeal by the War Depar1m~n1 last fall, we esrablished pre-induction courses in machines, elect;icity, and radio. Ar the beginning of this current semester a pre-induction course in automotive mechanics was insralled to supplement rhe already established coune in that field.

Along with these course. aimed directly at pre-induction preparation, rhe physical education course for our boys has been altered into an individualized program of physical fitness. This, alons with instruction in first aid and instruction in health and hyriene for both boys and gids, should go far toward promoting and maintaining healthful and vigorous panicipation in any field of service.

A course in home-making has been in11:1ured to help our girls to improve their potentialities for service in rhe home.

As a part of our program of commercial training we offer to qualified scudents an opportunity 10 participate in a co-operative work and study plan. In addition 10 offering training in actual worlc situations, this plan also serves the community by helping to alleviate the labor shortage in the fields of office work and retail selling.

Along with these specific alterations in and additions to our courses of study, we are consciously endeavoring to emphasize the practical and directly useful applications of learning in nil other phasea of our school program. To cite but a few: In our social sciences we are emphasizing the values inherent in democracy, trying to learn more about our various economic problems and trying to sharpen our concepts of spherical geography; similar kinds of emphasis upon learning for use are apparent in mathematics, foreign languages, English, commercial subjecu, and sciences, amonp; which is included a course in pre-flight aeronautics.

Mose brieAy, here are set forth some of the things which we of Baldwin offer as our contribution to the war effort. Along with this we offer a pledge of further service: We shall maintain, increase, and improve our contributions to the utmost limits of our abilities and of our resources. t::s-U?

Women

The Baldwin girl ' s place may be in the home, but it's nlso in nbouc 50 other varied (lnd well. trodd en spots. Since chc beginning of the cur• rent year most Baldwin Belles have been con• scantly on che familiar "go." Even they aren ' t sure how a girl puts in hours of volunteer service work and yet manages co defeat her homework However, there's something in th e thoughc cha, the more you have 10 do rhe less time it cakes co do ic.

Anyway, all former glitter gi rl s are now leading jam-packed lives Everyone realizes chat a lnrge portion of Baldw in's cont ribution 10 the war effort rests squarely on slim, young, fem• inme shoulders.

Lee's follow, for o Hide while, Betty Baldwin throughout her junior year at high school.

Betty and her pals got busy ' way last summer and organized the Jun ior A WVS They fixed up the basement of che defense center building and established working headquart e rs there Berty spent rnany nights selling War Stamps at local theaters and many afternoons making scamp War.snges She lea rned to march in precise formation army style and finally accumulated enough hours of work for her trig uniform Now sh e wears it every Wednesday afternoon co regular meetings At present Beery is absorbed in gardening manuals and catalogues for her own special plot in che Victory Garden.

When ,chool began, Beery added the sc andard Red Cro» first aid course co her growing l is t of ac11v111es. She pa ssed her ten with ease nnd is now a qualified expert on tr action splints and che rules of bandage. She enjoys the feeling of self-sufficiency which goes with accura te knowledge and will be very handy co have around, nir raid or not.

During the second semester, Betty enlisted in another war time course--nutrition. Now she often puts theory into practic e in her cooking course. And how her family goes for those t.uty dinners she whips up on Mothe r 's weekly Red Cross day!

Till Inst fall Berty h:id bc:.,n no nearer :ipples .iu bushc!, rh:in the one lone tree in her yard. However, when harassed orchardisrs sent out an SOS, she p r icked up he r c:irs :ind went all out ro help harve,r ,he fruic. She :ind her classmaces donned blue jeans, braided their curls, :ind joined a four-day apple picking crew Near the end, Betty vowed she'd never so much as look at an app le ag:iin. But time cured rha r. Now she chinks working on a farm would be " fine way ro spend her summer.

Betty's senior friend Sally is a co-operative srudcnc--one of those busy people who study in the morning and help che local merchants out in the afternoon Betcy realizes what a blessing chcy are to war-stricken business men and marvels at all the practical stuff Sally's learned. Solly herself is a salesgirl in a deparcmem store, but she knows girls who are recepcionists, rypists, doctor's ass istants, and copy readers

This fall Betty automatically became a member of che recently organized Girls' Lenguc Immediately she stepped into a whole new field of service Along came Christmas and t he Lzague bcg.1n chinking more about the soldiers overseas An idea! Pack up a special box for each Baldwin service man a nd send it overseas!

The girls in each homeroom concurred and began a record run on drugstores. Betty herr clf volunteered some coochpaste, a n d they packed soap, candy, gum, cigarettes-everything that would fi r imo a parcel the size of n shoe box Twenty-one boxes went on their way

Betty often comes to school at 8:30 10 sell supplies in the Girls' League Store Sometimes she brings her lunch or eats in the cafeteria and goes down 1 0 handle business at noon. Between customers she cacc:hcs up on her homework for that household science she viewed so skeptically in January. Betty is a real convert now and tackles o darn or patch with as much energy as the doe s her ocher War Work.

Don't fool yourself! really gone 10 war.

A Call

The rumble of machines from the direction of Hill School, Anshing li ghts and weird dot· dashes from the basement , and the never ceasing scratch of drnfume11's pens from th e drawing room indicate chat \VAR has come to Baldwin. With the passage of che bill to draft 18-19 yMr-olds, every senior was faced w11h rhe problem of quickly adjusting his life and cduco.don to a 1eorld geared f.or ,ear. Almost ove rnight opporcuni,/es for rhc sr~dy of machines, radio, electricity, auto mechnni c s, nnd drafting were 'provided for chose awaiting rhe call to a rms

From child ho~d a large nu~bcr of male stud ents of Baldwin have hnd rheir eyes on the sky, and the war brought many of· rheir dreams of aviation clo,er t o realiry. To fit into the war p:ogram of rapidly expanding U. S. Air Forces, a course in aeronautics was set up under instruc• tion of Eugene Hubbard Air-minded studems carried. on a study of aerodynamics, nnvigation, and meteorology in preparation for prc-Aight t~ain ing.

A course in the fundamental theories of electricity" with background material from the lives of such men as Franklin. Faraday and Volta wa s initiated. The groundwork for Army careers in' the Signal Corps is laid here.

Subjects that had long been included in the curriculum were given increased emphasis'. Mathem:1tics and e xperience in drafting assumed i mportance as re~uisites for die ar med services and war industries

The co-operarive program provided jobs for sccdents in rhc afternoons and holidays and proved to be p erhaps the greatest single advanccmc~t at Baldwin chis year Employment was f'ound for students in local pharmacies, dry goods establishments, defe n se plants, offices, and print shops

Baldwin Does

Marching side by side in the war effort with high school students all over the nation are Baldwin students All through chis book you sec chem giving service-service co their country in time of need, service 10 their community, to rheir school, and 10 each ocher.

The Baldwin Defc n !e Council is our central w1.1r service organiznrion; and it works, ttot for glory, but for school and nation Among iu many line projects are the selection and training of air raid and lire wardens for each class; 1he management of air raid drills; the shatterproofing of basement windows; and the scrap metal drive

As Mr. Toothacker alternately pumps and puffs at his sirens, the students file down to rhc bas 2ment and gather 1n their appointed places along rhe corridors. There they waic while ferrile imagin ations hear enemy planes droning overhead.

" Any bonds today?" was a familiar cry as Baldwin rushed to do its bit for Uncle Sam. Weekly bond and stamp sales and two assembly rallies gave Baldwin its c hance co help its brothers overseas At chc March assembly over 1,200 dollars wor t h of stomps a nd bonds were sold

When narionwide food rnt ioning began, Baldwin t eache rs pirched right in and wo rked four a fte rnoons and evenings issuing ration books while the st udents played in B irmingham' s hot• spots. The weary drudgers received nothing extra for their service ; they we ren ' t slipped any extra coupons. Like the rest of Baldwin, rhey were only doing rheir bit

Although Ba ldwin has done all chis- the apple picking, rh e bond buying, the book cellectin g - it ha ~ nor done enough 'Enough' will be when it has spent every &pare minute chinking and acting W A R ; when it has give n every possi ble cent to war bonds and stamps; when it has protected itself with every device and precaution; when it has made its hands strong and rough by working ; when Victory is ours.

Girls' league

To co-ordinate all girls' nctivitics, 10 promote 11 friendly and dcmocrncic spirit among the girls in Baldwin, and 10 give girls opportunities for s~rvice and leadership: rhesc arc the purposes of rhe Girls ' League, newly-organized chis year

As n result of rhe enthusiasm of hard-working officers; 1he guidance of Mrs Carol Darling dean of girls; n.nd the sup porr of all i1s members, 1he League can be proud of irs achievements and of the precedents it set in '42-' 43.

First president of rhe League was attractive, capable Nan Jensen , a lead e r in many school activities. Officers \•ere elccrcd a 1 large by all girls 10 serve fo,r one se~sre r

The League functions rhrou g h f ive la rge committees headed by vice- prcsid z nis: socia l, se rvice, lcgisla1ive, program, and fin a ncial.

Highlighcs of che year 's social activities have been parties each semester fo r new girls and a Christmas party for children f I o m .in or phans' home Of s~rvice ro the stud ents 1s 1he s tude nt rhop which has been rco pen c·d th is ye ar by the League

If one chances to wander to the gym door co ~adsfy his sweet tooth, (assuming th at the junior cbss has been able to secu r e ca ndy bars to sell), he is likely to be lured inside by wild s houts of glee and maybe a nasty word o r two.

These are signs of spirited homeroom basket• ball competition, for which homeroom friends and teachers alike gathe r to cheer their te.ims to fame and glory.

Since the struggle is practically a fight to the finish, all players conclude their fierce encounters in physical exhaustion for the rest of the after::1oon; and friends refrain from asking the cco:c without a smug smile on their tired lips.

On Wings of Song

Among the activities which have added to Baldwin's fame is the a cappella choi r , well known for iu high rank in state festivals.

Bec ause of transportation difficulties, there have been no festivals scheduled this year; but the choir has been busy at home singing for service clubs, giving programs fo r assemblies and the teachers' institute at Royal Oak, presenting concerts, producing an operetta, and t a k ing n substantial part in the Bond Wagon pre!ented here in April.

A new f eatu r e originated this year is the Choir Council composed of R alph Appell, president and srudent conductor; Pat Williams, Gordon Cole, Mary Jane Smith, and Jack Milne. Ia pu rp ose is to make deci sions on choir matters and to t ake care of outside busine ss which comes up

The choir repert oire, enlarged this year, includes not only s uch classical numbers as Cherubim Song by Tschaikowsky , and Hear My Pra ye r , by ]'41'e,, but also has a comprehensive list of negro spirituals, such as Ezekiel Saw de Whee l by Burleigh. Th e re is also a number' of se m i-classic.1 I and popular songs, like Porter's Night and Day.

Distinguished by a capacity for h ard work, a popular a nd capa ble director, indivi dual musical talent, and a stro n g pride in achi e ve me n t, the a capp ella choir should make even more outst.1nding records in the com ing yea r

Blowing Their Own Horns

An active and outstanding band. is one of Baldwin's chief assets Participation in many events in school and around this vicinjty ha5 made the Baldwin bnnd one of the best known in the state.

Pl a ying for foocball and baskecbnll games and prese n ting concerts arc only part of the ba nd 's work, although many people will remember it chiefly for its clever presentation of The Fanner in the De.JI at one of the football games .

The band also plays for many assetnblies and has se n t representative.. l O a solo and en semble festival at Pontiac.

\'(forking early in the morning, long before school, the band. aiembers have m a de various recordings of their impressive r e pertoire.

Some competmon among Ba Id win, Vaughan, and Kingswood Schools was planned. Marches were held in baseball a nd tennis.

Just as soon as the sun warmed that cold, hard ground a t Hill School, numerous girls who l ooked as if they were in training for a prize-fight showed up They were just doing rh eir usual l aps around the field-that lap they conscientiously did all winter on the crack in the gym.

Gridiron Spotlight

A hot, sultry night marked the opening of the 1942 gridiron season for the Maplu. A well co-ordinat!d Grosse Pointe team made the night even more memorable, 1ending the locals down to a bitte; 7-6 defeat. The lone Mar oon ! core came in the closing minutes of the game on a pa:s from Harold Kelley ro Bill Spiegel.

The gloom that followed the Grosse Pointe defeat was momentarily dispelled by a 19-0 victory over a supposedly tough East Detroit outfit. Spiegel, the Leafs' Beet halfback, s:arrcd again wich rwo touchdowns 10 his credit. Bud Keller scor;d the other touchdown.

A lanky end named Bob ViCllry combined with rhe talents of a powerful Dearborn line to spell defeat 20-6 in the nut encounter. Vicary's two long touchdown passes more than counter-balanced the single Maroon marker provided by Bud Keller. However, brilliant defensive play contributed by Dick Dunn and the Watts brothers provided the lone ray of sunshine for future hopes.

What loolced like a revival of the Maples' famous running at• tack bogged down after a few plays at Wayne, and rhe locals had to be content with a 6-6 deadlock. Golling's touchdown on a ilecper play with only a minute to go wu all that saved the big Maroon team from another ignominious defeat.

Ecorse provrd to be the turning point for the Leafs, succumb, ing 19-0 under the Pierce Field lighu Spiegel provided a thrillhungry Birmingham rooting :rction with excitement ga lore in the form of cwo 1pectacular touchdown runs and Bullet Bob Carnahan han rolled up the other tally on a ,mashing line plunge Harry Bissett, ,ubstitute guard, and Carl Blauman, tackle, 11.:rned in topnotch performance, on a stellar Maple line.

The ream rhat had sent Birmingham's 1941 champions to their first defeat was next on the Leaf ' s schedule. Plymouth was turned back 12-0 as Keller and husky Don Fisher scampered across rhc goa l line for scores.

The victory caravan rolled merrily onward for the Maple as they smashed Ypsilanti 19-0. The famed passin g attacks of the Braves nearly proved disastrous before Keller st reaked across the goal line rwice for touchd own s. Spi ege l contributed che ocher marker and several brilliant runs. Jeffers ' successful conversion was the first one made in five games.

Rain, sl~et, snow, and a Ferndale powerhouse char wouldn ' t be held back combined to set Birmingham back on its heels 19-1 2.

Thanksgiving Day 1943 saw the bitterest struggle in years bee ween the Leafs and Royal Oak in the annual classic Spiegel's touchdown in rhe second quarter kept the highly favored Oaks at bay for three and one-half quarters, but the gallandy fighting Maple forward wall failed to break. The Acorns ' lone score that tied the game 6-6 came on a pass fr om Shader to Knox.

The big Maroon team finished up a nine game schedule with four victories, three defeats, and two ties.

Varsity letters were awarded Dick Dunn, Bill Goll ing, Russ Walstrom Don Fisher, Carl Blauman, Bob Jessup Earl Guckelberg Bob Roth, Fred Jeffers.

Football Prospects

When one looks over the list of prospects, it app eau th at next fall's football t eam will be very strong at some positions and quite weak at others.

At center, Bob Linle, who p layed a lot of reserve ball lase season a nd who c an plug up those h o les a r ound th e middle of the lin e, :ee ms t o have che call over the other prospects for this position. However, Coach Wurster may have to ca ll on Dick D unn co swi t ch o ver from end if things go wrong.

In Carl Blauman and Don Fisher, Baldwi n has a pnir of tackles wh o would answe r any conch's dream. Both boys tip the scales nc around 200 pou nd s during the season and kn ow al l t he tricks of their position Blauman has also dropp ed in to the backfield and passed on severnl occasions, uncorking a touc hdown pass against Roval Oak last Thanksgiving

The guard positions prese n t one of the major gaps to be filled. Bi rm i n g ham has always bee n able to present ;, good puir of runn ing gua~ds a nd may be able to pro du ce this yea r ; bur ic doesn't seem likely

Bob Joyce see ms to huve one of th e posi ti o n s cinched be, ca use h e pbyed in several irames last fall after switchin~ ove r f r ..,m blockin1: back . T o m Roth is n leadin!! candidt1te for the othe r place, b ut he ha s had very little actual game experience.

Howe ver, we all hope he can step into his brother Bob's shoes and tum in as fine play as he did

In Dick Dun n Coach Wurster has one outstand ing end retum , ing. Dunn was a standout at this position last fall. He had o. h a bit of breaking through the interference and pulling down ball car riers for a loss which was a headach e to Maple foes. Karl Kaufman and Ray Bell, both ju niors , have played a season with che reserves and may be Varsity material.

At halfback there are four boys who have seen a lot of action. T hey are backed up by a h ost of others who need a little more exp erie nc e to move up to the Vnrsicy. Th e first group is headed by Bud Ke ller, who was a re gular last season and often a sen~ational back; Harold Kelley, Melvin Boomer, a.nd Pat O'Connor

Frank Watts is being counted on to win his quarterback position a!!ain. Frank was a rcsular last season and was regarded as one of rhc squad's finer blocke~s. J im Vaughn shows promise of developin1t into a good blocking back an d may tum out to be Varsity mater ia l.

Ac fullback, Dick McConkie has che edge on the re•c of the c-andidatcs b causc of his experien ce on the seco nd team last yea r Only a sophomore. Dick played in several important games and carnc close to winning a lener . - Don Mcl ees e

The second game of the year proved a little better for the locals' cause as they swamped Walled Lake 47-13 in a long-drawn-out battle.

Forced 10 come from behind, Baldwin managed ro e ke out a bare decision 24-22 over Lincoln Park in rhe third game.

Coach " Ernie " Engel has been at Baldwin only two basketball seasons and has turned out a spl endid ball dub. Borh seasons he has had good material to work with, and with his coaching ability has turned rhc material into winning reams.

"Noz" Wright is the tallest and calmen member of the five. He was a good defensive player, achieving rhe difficult feat of getting the ball off the backboard, a thing which all coaches (in• eluding Coach Engel) insist upon. Newell was noted for his ability at making pivot shots. "Noz" graduates chis year and has two letters to his credit.

"Wang" Wangberg was another long shot artist of this year's quintet. Although he was kept out of some games this season because of illness, he became a very dependable defensive and offensive player who could be counted on for that extra point just when it was needed. Frank also graduates. He has one letter in basket• ball.

Outstanding achievement dese rve s re cognition in any man's language, and Baldwin st udcnu feel that Coach Ernest Engel should be justly rewarded for his efforts in promoting Baldwin sports. This is the reason for the printing of this picture in the 1943 Piper.

F e w people realize that after his arr iv al in Baldwin, Engel-co nc hed teams won the \"v'ayne Relays, the Regional Track Cha mpionships, and the Srate Tr.:ick Championship in Class B Ion sp:ing. Lase fall his team cap tured chc mythical State cross country championship for Class B schools These titles added five new trophies to the already overloaded troph y ca se

Ernie ' s boys playfully call him the " high school coach of the year, " p e rha ps rea li zi ng, however, how much truth there re ally as in that s tatement Coach Engel is extremely popu lar wi th his at h• letes and should enjoy many succ ess fu l future athlerac seasons

The sun was just beginn ing to set o n a chilly spring day ne;ir the end of May, I 9 42. Four very nervous boys on the Birmingham track team were warming up on Mic hi ga n St ate's beautiful cind!,r path in preparation fo r th e fi nal runn ing of the half mile rel.:ty. Bi rmingham' s chances for winning the state champi ons hip team title reseed on the outcome of this race A warning was sounded, and the four boys took rheir places at 22-ya rd intervals around the track

Stan Peterson was the lead-off man, Bob Murray ray to run in the second slot; Jo Arm strong was rhe third man, and Jack Steelman drew the anchor position. When the bato n had been passed three times, the Birmingham team was running in third p lace, about ten yards behind the leade r le was up co Captain Jack Steelman to pull the race out of the fire.

Though it is still weak at some positions, this year's baseball team promises to come through and provide rh c fons with as many thrills nnd fine plays as in any year.

More than 50 boys showed an inrercH in rhc sport this spring, and Coach George Wurster didn' t have too difficult a time in picking a formidable combinarion.

Heading returning lettermen was Bill Spiegel whose batting and fielding around the i'nitial sack were high l ights of last year's play. Since rhen Bill has gained weight and added about an inch in h ei ghr, mnking him more dangerous ar rhc plate.

Anoth e r vcreran co unted on heavily is Larry Mintling a l efry who goes in for pitching chores. Larry alcc rnated wi th Paul Kelley on the mound last sp r ing a nd turned in some fine work against several stro ng ni nes.

Coach Wu r ster i5 we ll -stocked in the catching depa rrrnc nt with le tte rmen Bud Keller and Bill Garfield r~ru r nin g B oc h saw consideroble service last sprin g; ti nd tho ugh neither is a powerhouse at th e plmc , b oth do a good job of handling pit chers

The ou tfield seemed a wide open race except in cente r field where "Big Bill" Golling was fairly well established. Bill has also pitched and has won two previous letters in baseba ll. He has coumed on some duty on rhe mound again this year bur most of his time he has held down center field.

To fill vacancies in rhe infield, Coach Wurster is r elyi ng on''r wo boys who have played for other schools: Bob Joyce, who pl ayed on the Royal Oak nine; Don Little, he adi ng the list of short stop prospects wirh a tough fight on his hands to win a regular benh wi th the Maples; Dick Buechler, who played at Northwestern High School in Detroit and is a third saclcer.

The th irteenth Baldwin nthlete to have his name engraved on ,he Johnson Memorial Pbque, Student-Athlete Dick Hopkins received the coveted honor this year. A rhN1e -sport man, Hopkins has recei,·ed letters in football, basketball and track . His ath letic ability is featured by his smart hcadwork and smooch play. He was described i,y one Baldwin coach as the difference between a winning and a losing season. In his sophomore year Hopkins received his letter in crack af te r just barely failing to garner football and basketball letters. That year he placed sixth in the state in the high hurdles, an unusual feat for " sophomore.

As a junior, Dick won three letters i n football, basket, ball and track. He inju r ed his knee in football but still

managed to ca rry through the basketball season He was unab le to participate much in rrnck but still succeeded ,n high jumping his way to a tie for second place i~ the Scace meet. Another high mark in his career was his selection as captain of this year's basketball team. Dkk can be counted on to be a shining l ight of any track ieant , Placed in the high hurdles one of his favorite events, he also garners points i n th: high jump a nd occasionally helps out in other ways.

Dick received the unanimous vote of the Hono,arY Board for the Johnson Award. One of the great factors in his choice was his B plus average, a rare mark for _ an athlete of his calib r e. - Ray Dennis

Baldwin ' s newest ,,w.-trd was initiated this ycnr when Publ i cations Honor Award was crellted. Contrary to common belief, this honor is not second to the Quill and Scroll award but is on a par wirh it In order to win rhe coveted Honor Award pin, the student must live up to all requirements for Quill and Scroll membership except one possible rcquiremem-such as being in the upper 25 p r cent in scho l arship or having two years of service to _ Publicanons.

National Honor Society

One of rhe highest honors a Baldwin student can auain is to become a member of the local chapter of the Nation al Honor Society. This society. a national organization under a national charter, was founded for the purpose of honoring students who have made achie\·emenr re cords in scholarship, leadership, scrvic~, and character.

&ldwin's charter formerly required that candida1:s be in the upper quarter of the class. Last year, feeling that the level of rhe upper quarrer varied too often, the group fix,ed the scholarship minimum at 2.7. This is a C +. Although scholarship is the first cons:dered requirem ent, all the others are equally important in choosing a member.

The membe rs, chosen by the faculty, can represent no more than five percent of the lJ A, ten percent of the I 28, and fifteen percent of the 12A. Although the number of new members varies, the chapte r inducts about fifteen members each t ime.

The new members arc honored at rhe semi•annual Nationa.l Honor Society As.srmbly and at a luncheon following These and other functions of the society are financed from funds raised entirely by the organiznrion.

Pri;sent a~tive members are: President Frank Wangberg (track, bnske1ball, cross country, tennis, Cor. _ ~ss); Vice President Connie Coulter, (Congre$s, president Girls' ! ~i:-ue, senior class secre• tnry); S.,cretary Nanette Jensen, (sen, .., :lass vice-president, Con•

Quill and Scroll

Though considered one of the highest honors any high school student anywhere can attain, election to Quill and Scroll is one of the least understood awards in Baldwin. The "distinguished work in publications" for which it is given goes on behind the scenes. But for che few scudencs who qualify, no honor can be gin 10 compare.

Quill and Scroll is an international honor society for outstanding work on high school publications. Headquarters are at the Medill School of Journalism, Northwestern University.

Journalism class iuelf does not give any credit towards Quill and Scroll. Excellent work on one publications staff for two years or on several staffs for one year is necessary, as well as being in the upper quarter of the dau. Valuable members of the editorial staff, as well as live wires on the advertising, circulation, sales, and business staffs are recommended by the Publications adviser to the executive!ecretary at Norchwestcrn Universiry, who makes the final choice.

Those recommended this )fea r a re Sue Burnside, Highlander circulation manager, assistant sales manager for rhe Football Program and for this year's Piper; Janice DaLee on advertising and circulation for three years on Highlander and Piper, Eccentric writer for the past year, and member of this year's Piper staff ; Na rice Ells,

assistant Highlander and Piper business manage r and last semester's Baldwin Publications business manager; Jane Hardin, managing editor of the Hiahlander last semesrer, editor-in-chief of the 1943 P iper, and news and feacure writer for the Eccentric.

Somebody wound him up and loet t&e key, and Newell W rig ht has been talking ever since. He'll volunteer to explain anything to anybody (nobody takes him up on that more than once) and has brought a new feature to Baldwin - the talkathon.

He saved many a ninth grade English class from boredom with his-day-by.day accounrs of his trip to Alaska on the money he earned all by himself And hi, classmates nill chuckle in anticipa• tory glee when Newell ataru one of his interminable anecdotes about life at the Wrights' summer cottage at good old Pentwater, Michigan. In fact, the only time Newell isn't spouting is when his mouth is full of French fries, h is favorite food.

I n appreciation of his two semesters of masterly filibustering, Congreu bestowed upon Newell the job of bailing paper (the paper

market is now flooded, due to his efforts) and collecting scrap metal, jobs which he handled with his usual acumen.

Winning two letters in bashtball, he taught a few tricks to some sixth graders and produced a city champion The able advertising manager of the Highlander and chairman of student control day, Newell also has wielded the gavel over the Defense Council for two years. In recognition of all this, Newell was elected to both Quill and Scroll and National Honor Society.

His strip tease in Oub '41, his r ole as a goggle-eyed parent in Doctor Rhythm, and his job iu mentor of the tiny tots at Sunday school, are child's play, claims Newell, who really wants to be n lone re!earch scientist - and talk to himself.

H e r mother sat Connie down at a piano at the age of six, and 1he's b:?en playing ever since. Now she plans 10 take a combined five-year music and li terature course Sounds tough? Not for her!

Conn ie never fail, to race into English clau and write her theme while the teacher takes roll; and she faithfully haunts the lost and found, frantically searching for the "lost" pen thar's in her coat pocket .

Smiling Connie is president and former service chairma n of the Girls' League, secretary of the senior class, and vi ce -president of the National Honor Society The famous Coulte r giggle has bubbled out in Congrus meetings for three semesters, and she was an ace n ews wr iter until sn i decided pushing a pencil required too much effort.

Her homeli fe includes frequent sess ions with steak and apple pie, relieved by bouts of reading poetry and but-sellers Long-limbed and slim, Connie is a rabid member of the girls' basketball team, an adept swimmer, and an up -and-coming figure skater ( down-andfalling, says she). Once the city's champion speller, Connie Coulter has built u p such a reputation that she' s almost-a legend.

Versatile-thac's Bob Kohr The Leonardo da Vinci of Baldwin, he can do anything from advanced trigonometry to yo-yo twirling

Want someone to make a funny speech? Need a really hoc drum• mer? Homework got you stumped? Call Kohr. Need a quiz mascer? Minus a president? Bob Kohr at your service.

This pocket dynamo begai, his varied career by being elected to both Bald win and Ciry Defense Councils and giving cheir meetings witty advice. By the end of hi s junior year Bob had charmed an admiring school into making him vice-presidenc of the Student Congress. This fall, when Doctor Rhythm needed a music chairman, Bob took the job. Remember chat Hawaiian War Chant?

At the Congress campaign asse mbly his spe ctacular entrance beating the skins and trailing a floor-length tie won about every vote in school for the presidency of Congres.s. Then it was only a leap and a bound to National Honor Society and Who's Who.

Bob makes life at the Kohr domicile reverberate with his constant drumming, (great artists must practice, he insists) and his continuous listening to "name" bands over a blaring radio. In his -lUieter moments he works puzzles, plays chess, and dreams of the day when he'll be a mechanical engineer. Of course, he'll be a good one; Bob does nothing that isn't Kohr-rect.

Glancing up distractedly, she was stumped for only a moment unr:I exactly the righr expression popped inro her head and she zipped off ano1her 1housand words to Gomplete rhe sc ript for tha, stupendous production Doctor Rhythm; or did you catch her composing the melodrama for Oub 41?

Ir doesn't matter, for there is never r eally a starling OJ" stopping point for Carolyn Kane. Her ceaseless service would soon put any ordinary moJ"tal in bed in a state of nervous collapse. But not Carolyn, who seems to thrive on it. After workfog half the night she will :ippear quire chipper the next morning ro help with that tough chemistry equation.

She does, howevl'r, save time to trot Ricky, her "Ii i ncfoo," up • town: He's ge tting to be a genuine drugstore cowboy and must have his ice cream cones regularly.

It's time to disclose the clever artist who has succeeded in p ai nting the clear pictures of \Vho's \Vho Carolyn, of course!

In :ibout rcn years mosey into an arc museum a nd find her "oils" next to Rembr:indt's ; browse in a book shop for chc new illustrated children's book, Kane's Kristmas Karol; turn on your radio: we wouldn't be surprised if she took us o.n an imaginary trip to the moon on an Orson Welles' program.

-Janice Dalee

Did Frank Wangberg ever cell you thot he broke Baldwin's mile r ecord? Of course not; Frank's coo modest and reserved; so we ' re celling you now. For a guy who never pushes himself ahead of others, he' s done all right.

Elected treasurer of his sophomore, j unior, and senior classes, Frank's been juggling money for years now. He ran Boy Scout finances so ably that he's a Life Scout.

Not every !tar athlete makes the Nacional Honor Society, bur Fcank did in rhe elevcnch grade and is now its capable president. Captain of che cross-country team, he snapped River Roug~•s har• rier record at their own meet. His long rangy frame nnd stick•tO•

itivcness have won him a well-deserved lecter in each of four sports: tennis, track, basketball, and cross country.

Although he's known for his athletic ability, Fronk is also an ex• cellent student and, a bird -and-butterffy fancier. He devours all the food nnd magazines ar home and comes back for more. Lase summer his years of camping, swimming, boating, and bicycling were mighty helpful in his job as a junior counse lor at a YMCA camp.

As to che fucure afcer che war: Don't be su r prised someday co drive p;m a farm equally well stocked with livestock and books and com• piece wich cinder track and tennis courc, only to find out it belongs co Frank Wangberg. He'd be happy anywhere.
