The Girls' Athletic Association is the fastest growing organization in Baldwin.

This year under the able leadership of Mary Elizabeth Smith, president, it took over the duties of the former Girls' League, sponsoring such annual affairs as the George Washington Tea, sophomore picnic, and orphans' party.

Among its athletic accomplishments were a colorful water pageant, play-

The grand finale of weeks of hard work every Tuesday and W ed.nesday afternoon was seen in the beautiful Water Pageant presented by the "Sharks," Baldwin's girl swimmers and divers.

The many acts presented depicted popular events of Birmingham around the year. Among these were the Hallowe'en numbers and the sports review featuring scenes on the rifle range and the novelty number entitled "The Bicycle Built for Two." Others were the "Wanderer and His Dog" and special candlelight diving. The performance was topped off by the beautiful Flower Show.

The "Sharks" were Mary Kay Smith, Dody Dunford, Pudge Colgrove, Susan Reeder, Martha Moody, Lois Burton, Ginny Hood, Janet Roosevelt, Janet Lockrow, Shirley Burnett, and Kern McKay.

The highlight of the G. A. A. year was not a sports event but a gala Christmas party given for Pontiac orphans, and complete with holiday trimmings, ice cream, and presents for all.

An annual affair, this celebration was as much fun for the hostesses as for their small guests.

Both participated in games of "London Bridge" and "drop the handkerchief" with equal enthusiasm. Even faculty members joined in the singing of favorite carols.

Most exciting to the little tykes was the distribution of presents. Each one waited breathlessly as a substitute for Santa Claus (who was unable to attend because of other pressing engagements) dealt out stuffed animals, games, model airplanes, and dolls to eager hands.

Sandwiches, cake, and ice cream climaxed the entertainment. Des{>ite the many girls who wanted to keep their wards, the tired young celebrators were bundled into snowsuits and driven home. Most of them fell asleep clutching their gifts to them as memories of a wonderful time.

Each year friendship and industry are mingled to produce the "Piper." To many the seemingly endless hours after school are wasted; but to those who have worked, the realiz:i-tion that the fruits of their labors will long endure, that the friendships made will long remain, and that the knowledge they gain will benefit them throughout life is reward enough for their efforts.

As each new group of small fry joins the staff, they find that one of their main duties is to wear a rut between room 12 and Hilly Acres, for how can all that genius burn without fuel?

More than a book full of chuckles and good will has come about while the staff determined the Pied Piper's path through the pages of the "Piper"· yet quite seriously they tried to show the spirit of Baldwin's students along the Piper's

pictorial trail. His journeys through the countries of work and play connote the varied lives of the citizens of Baldwin; and the Piper himself grew fond of them all, as everyone does who knows them.

As the Piper walked off the last page of the book, he took with him a little bit of each staff member; for in his heart, he understood how each one had gained a great deal. To be an integral part of the whole, a small cog in a great machine, is to belong, is to be satisfied with a task well done.

Each person has left his mark in the book, and here it will remain, the concrete evidence that will return a ream of memories. It has been a pleasant journey with the Piper, long to be remembered.

"d/-n d-/ou'L 'J~ "United we stand, divided we fall" ...

Many a student held his breath while his team participated in the tug o' war.

The senior boys were defeated by the juniors, but the senior girls came through with a first. Never let it be said the girls are the weaker sex.

"We came, we danced, and had a good time" ... The Pigskin Prom sponsored by the Student Congress was a huge success. It was the first formal Baldwin had had in several years. The decora· tions portraying a football field showed a lot of hard work and were a big hit with the students. A note of thanks goes to Congress and all those who helped.

"His work well done, the leader stepped aside" ... Under president, Bob Warner, the Student Congress had a successful year. Some of the high spots were Field Day, Hallowe'en Dance, Pigskin Prom, Ice Carnival. honor roll, clothing, food, and fat drives. The officers of '45 , were: president, Bob W amer; vice-president, Pete Good; secretary, G. J. Maxwell and treasurer, Chuck Murray.

Stepping into their shoes the second semester were John Bloomstrom, Dick Adams, Sally Kreidler, and Austin Jones.

.:Sat in C!.ounau" "May the best team win" ... as the tradition goes the first event of the field day is the line of march. The picture shows the seniors walking off with the points for the best marching group. Class competition was keen and the score close. The seniors took first, juniors second, and sophomores third.

"She smiled and was queen for a night" ... The day of the Pigskin Prom every football man cast his vote for the girl who was to be Queen, of the Prom that night. After a fanfare -by the band Lewis Booth was crowned "Gridiron Glamor Girl." Her court consisted of Peggy Gould and Mary Ann Foster.

"Pleasantness surrounds her and beams on all" ... This year's ice carnival was postponed several times due to "old man weather," but finally got underway. "Queen Mary Kay" Smith was surrounded by her court of Mary Vorberg Janice Thomas, Peggy Gould, Joan Gove, Nancy Holmes, Lewis Booth, and "King Bill" Saffell. Their performance was enjoyed by all.

"Underneath the lamp post, by the Ranch Room gate" ... Inside or outside we always have fun like those in the picture, Grace Neilson, Barbara Pepperell, Dave Dalton, Bob Rogers, and Jo Boyse.

The Teen Canteen has made a fine record this year in good entertainment for the high school crowd. The first event in the fall was a hayride, later followed by a Topsy Turvy Dance. The dance was a huge success and will be an annual affair to be held the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

Due to the support of the adults, we have our Ranch Room. Through Miss Faye Jasman's hard work and interest in students, a youth council, which is the governing body of the Teen Canteen, was set up. Under the direction of the council the Teen Canteen scheduled four dances for March 23, April 27, May 25, and June 8.

The Ranch Room was the answer to every bobby soxer's wishes. At last we had a place of our own to come and go as we pleased.

Many a lad and lass' nickel has gone in the juke box to hear a favorite band or bought a "pause that refreshes." The ping pong and pool tables get a good workout and give fine entertainment any time of day or night.

"d/.ff tfu. <JJfuua.nl: Hanle Price really looks as if Mr. Cooper had caught him. But it turns out this is the first assembly of the year. Given by students who attended the summer theatre at Cranbrook, the play is based on the adventures of Henry Aldrich. In the supporting cast are Knight Houghton, principal, and Barbara Strelow, energetic gym teacher.

Many other fine and interesting assemblies were planned and made possible through the combined efforts of three fine and spirited teachers to whom the students are grateful, Miss Dorothy Allen, Miss Emily Walker, and Miss Janet Bainbridge.

One of the assemblies that we remember was the completely different way the song "They're Just as Green as Grass" was presented. In the past it had been done by a complete chorus of girls. But this time-just look! Jim McCall, George Burdick, Bill Hickman, George Allen, Jane Chantler, Bud Wilt, Joe O'Donnell, Tom Mills, Jack Critton.

Another outstanding assembly was Baldwin's own style show, featured by Dotty Hess in what the well-dressed fisherman will scare the fish with this year.

Here we see Margaret Erwin, Joan Olsen, Jack Pomeroy, and Kay Bates.

-Pete Good

Lacking sufficient talent last fall for a large production such as a variety show, Miss Ruth Hull, Baldwin's director, decided to give a play instead.

Snafu, sparkling comedy concerning the post war problems of a returning soldier's family, was presented with an all senior cast and was greatly enjoyed by all. Major roles were taken

by Frances Mead, Anne Drake, Charlie Renfrew and Mary Kay Smith. Not present for the picture but with leading roles were Bob Tyson, Punk Forsyth, Alan Joslyn, and Sue Collins.

For the annual spring production the curtain went up on Junior Miss, the lively comedy which ran many seasons on Broadway. In line with Baldwin's and Miss Hull's aged tradition, it was very successful.

Some of the feature players were Sally Kreidler, Bruce Robb, Dana Elcar, Pete Good, Mary Powers Cynthia Heideman, Nancy Kotts, Gretta Seaholm, and Joan Joslyn.

Working behind the scenes were those unsung heroes, the ever-slaving stage crew, Pete Dixon, Iola Kilborn, Catherine Houseal, Bill Holmes, and Anne Spiegel.

One of the many ensembles within the band is the clarinet quartet, consisting of Ralph Dunbar, Bill Robertson, Clara White, and Marilyn Kemp.

It has earned quite a reputation in the music world. Receiving a first division for the past two years at various festivals is evidence enough of excellent musicianship and talent hard to beat.

This quartet is only one example of Mr. Berndt's diligent work with individual members of the band, which is one reason why the Baldwin band is what it is today.

Prominent in the activities of Baldwin and the community stands the band. Surely "Success belongs to the energetic" is a good motto for all band members.

Each year a large per cent of time, spent in special preparation and extra rehearsal, is devoted to an annual concert. Under the competent direction of Arnold W. Berndt, the band did plenty of hard work and used drive, .resulting in a fine performance in the annual spring concert.

Members are, back row: Charles Murray, Jim Phillips, Fred Mallender, Francis Hayes, John Parsons, Donald Wilson, Warren Frane, Philip Martz, Hank Price, David Ballentine, Ed Davey, Rusty Davies, Dick Adams.

Second row: Russell Blaisus, Sandra Da Seff, C. B. Young, Duane Kaeser, Josephine Conners, Ralph Dunbar, Clark Rogers, Tim Adams, Philip Allen, Jean Lang, Bill Robertson, Eunice Engel, Wanda Olin, Leu White, Harris Jackson, Burton Bronson, Art Williams.

First row: Shirley Green, Nancy Pierce, Lois Bloyer, Marian Adams, Dick Robertson, Bill Hickman, Gerry Hughes, Hugh Quinn, Robert Marsh, Ed Vandervelder, Bruce Smiley, Marilyn Kemp.

One of Baldwin's most popular and accomplished orqanizations is its a cappella choir.

Membership in this group has mounted yearly until now a full 65 sing under the able direction of Victor Ulrich.

Dalton, Don Garfield, Dick Gregory, Lois Davison Nancy Hanson, Vincent Hayes, Nancy Heacock, Cynthia Heideman, Nancy Heugh, Jim Holden, Virginia Hood, Lutie Kalter, Edith Kendall, Nancy Kotts, Mary Anne Kraft.

To Birmingham's delight, the choir has made many public appearances. Besides the annual spring concert, it presented a spirited operetta, "Lucky Jade," which met with hearty approval.

The choir also took part in the music festival at Ann Arbor, as well as in numerous assemblies and civic affairs. In addition, everyone enjoyed the popular tunes sung by choir members during interludes of Baldwin's plays.

June Landino, Janet Lockrow, Elizabeth Miller, Martha Miller, Phyllis Morse, Henry Muller, Joan Newman, Grace Neilson, Joe O'Donnell, Judy Pardee, Junann Partridge, Hardy Patterson, Barbara Philp, Gregory Peck, Jack Pomeroy.

Accompanists are Edith Kendall and Phyllis Boyes.

In Memoriam SALLY ANN STEVENS September 14, 1928 - January 5, 1946 The news of Sally Ann Stevens's untimely death left the students of Baldwin bewildered and grieved. Although Sally had lived in Birmingham for only a year, she had acquired many friends.

To everyone who knew her, she represented sincerity and integrity of character which live in the memory of her classmates.

Twice a year anticipation rises high at Baldwin as students try to guess who will be tapped for the National Honor Society at the induction assembly. A solemn and impressive ceremony is held at the close of each semester during which those elected to membership are called onto the stage to take the oath of membership. No students know who has been chosen. After the ceremony, the new members attend a luncheon given by the active members in their honor at the Community House.

The faculty elects the new members on the basis of their character, scholarship, leadership, and service. The constitution of the National Honor Society provides that only five per cent of the llA class, ten per cent of the 12B class, and fifteen per cent of the 12A class may be inducted.

The Birmingham chapter was founded in 1931 and is advised by faculty members Miss Merle E. Taylor and Mrs. Dorothy Perry, who is replacing Miss Carol Metzger, an adviser for the first semester who left Baldwin in January.

Active members of the Society in September, 1945, were: president, Bob Tyson; vice-presi-

dent, Bob Morrow; secretary, Jan Coil; treasurer, Gwen Chapman; and members Nancy Allen, Bill Bones, Martha Bostwick, Bud Gregory, Edith Kendall, and Harriet Thompson.

This group helped install a Junior National Honor Society at Barnum Junior High School in May, 1945. They also went to Ferndale to induct the first members into Lincoln High School's new senior chapter.

Active members of our chapter of the Honor Society in January, 1946, were: president, Howard Love; vice-president, Franny Newell; secretary, Harriet Thompson; treasurer, Jane Breitenstein and members Dorothy Adams, Bill Bones, Martha Bostwick, Joanne Chapel Jan Coil, Marty Fox, Nancy Hanson, Marie Harabedian, Edith Kendall, Sally Kreidler, and Martha Penfield. New members Mary Lu Brungraber and Elizabeth Gellatly graduated in January.

The emblem of the National Honor Society stands for good character, able leadership, sound scholarship, and unselfish service. The society serves as a true inspiration for all high school students and is a goal for which they strive.

- Harriet Thompson

One of the highest honors conferred in high school is election to Quill and Scroll, "international honor society for high school journalists."

Baldwin's members constitute those behind-thescenes workers who put out the Piper, football programs, and other school publications.

To be eligible for Quill and Scroll a student must have done "distinguished work" on a high school publication staff for two years, or on several staffs for one year. He must also be a senior in the upper quarter of his class. Those who qualify are recommended by the Publications advisers to the headquarters of the society at the Medill School of Journalism, Northwestern University, where the executive secretary makes the final choice.

Those recommended this year were Franny Newell, assistant ad manager of the 1945 football programs and 1946 Piper; Edith Kendall, Piper staff member for three years and co-editor of this year's Piper; Jan Coil, also staff member

since the tenth grade and co-editor of this 1946 Piper; and Dottie Adams, editorial staff member for two years, sales staff member two years, and business manager of the 1946 Piper.

Publications Honor Award is a comparatively new and unknown honor at Baldwin which is almost equal to Quill and Scroll. It is given to those students who lack a single qualification for election to Quill and Scroll, such as length of service or being in the upper quarter of their class. These workers, however, have also done much hard and excellent work on publications.

Students who have qualified for this award are Joanne Chapel, valuable member of the Piper editorial staff for the past three years; Howard Love, member of 1945 Piper sales staff, sales manager of last fall's football programs and of this 1946 Piper; and Anne Drake, another outstanding Piper editorial staff member since the tenth grade.

-Dottie Adams

BILL BONES

Probably the most active person in Baldwin is Bill Bones. He excels in scholarship, leadership, service, and character. He is known as one of the best liked students in school.

Many honors have been bestowed on Bill, as is only natural for a person of his calibre. He was elected to the National Honor Society while only a Junior. He has served as an officer on more

things than anybody else in school today. He is president of the senior class, was vice-president of the junior class, vice-president of the Student Congress, vice-president of the Defense Council, and secretary of the Varsity Club, just to mention a few of his jobs.

He won two letters as a pitcher on the baseball team, and one as center on the football squad.

He participated in school plays, coached Adams grade school basketball team, and was an excellent sports writer. He directed Defense Stamp sales and bond rallies as a junior. Indeed, Bill is one of Baldwirt's most outstanding citizens.

JAN COIL

To know Jan is to remember her and none will forget the splendid record she leaves behind her in the annals of Baldwin.

Whatever she undertakes is sure to be a job well done, whether it is playing baseball on the comer lot or working on the tremendous task .of being co-editor of the 1946 Piper.

Junior high school, she has participated in all the activities of school life.

Excellent in the minute-taking department, Jan was elected secretary of Girls' League and Student Congress.

Jan has worked faithfully on the assembly club, bond drives, make-up club, and numerous Student Congress committees, but it seems that her chief interest is the Piper, for she has been on the advertising, sales, and editorial staffs.

Proof of her splendid work came when she was elected to Quill and Scroll.

Versatile is the word for Jan; for ever since she was elected secretary of Student Council in

Jan truly merits being one of Baldwin's all-time Who's Who.

touch." As "the Man,'' he contributed one of the finest performances a Baldwinite has given.

C DANAELCAR

The Orson Welles of Baldwin, that's Dana Elcar.

The foremost actor Baldwin has produced, Dana has had leads in four major productions and has attracted the admiration of all who know him.

"Arsenic and Old Lace," "The Man Who Came to Dinner," "Frequency '44," and "Junior Miss" wouldn't have been complete without the "Elcar

But does he confine himself to one activity? Not Dana! A three-letter winner on Birmingham's gridiron, member for three seasons of league and regional championship track teams, and president of the Varsity Club, Dana's athletic exploits are second only to his dramatic talent.

His ready humor has enlivened many a dull class and Congress meeting. When he and Franny Mead aren't horseback riding, Dana's taking a whirl in the ·wild blue yonder with his recently acquired student-pilot license.

He plans a radio career upon graduation.

Here's luck to you, Dana.

BOB WARNER The presidency of the Student Congress climaxed affable Bob Warner's four-semester residence on that body. Chairmanship of the rules committee and other major undertakings earned him an honorary membership for this last semester.

A member of various community boards, Bob was a logical choice as a delegate to Wolverine Boys' State.

Few of us will forget him as the bewildered detective in "Snafu."

Bob and Franny Newell make up one of Bald-

win's most durable romances. An avid fan, "Ace" eagerly follows sports. So it's not surprising that he's sports editor of the 1946 Piper.

He is no exception to the Model A craze and spends many an hour tinkering with his Ford.

Skirts and sweaters are his pet peeve. Hobby?

He'd walk a mile for a good card game.

Choosing the advertising field in which to specialize, Bob's just the fellow to make a success of it.

Honor Society, Nancy was also chosen a representative to Wolverine Girls' State and winner of the D. A. R. Good Citizenship award.

NANCY HANSON Although many strive, few attain the many honors and achievements that Nancy Hanson has during her high school career. She leaves behind her a long list of accomplishments that began with her first semester in Baldwin.

A faithful member of the Student Congress, vicepresident of Girls' League and president of Girls' Athletic Association, and a member of National

Having fun is one of her specialties, too, as is proved by the fact that as president of the Birmingham Youth Council, she was instrumental in the securing of our Ranch Room.

When not busy with her many activities, Nancy may be seen participating in a snappy bowling game or concentrating on her music. She has and more than fulfilled her duty to her school, I Baldwin will remain deeply indebted and grateful to her for her unfailing loyalty, and good works.

ED DAVEY Ed Davey has proved himself as fine an allaround athlete as Birmingham has had. His winning way and easy going personality make him popular with everyone.

and guard, and his accuracy on long shots kept Birmingham in many a contest.

Baseball is the foremost of Ed's sports. He has patrolled the outfield for three seasons and was selected on the all-league team. His election as captain of the 1945 football squad climaxed the two years he played blocking back for the Maples. Two letters in basketball round out his brilliant career. He operated from both forward

Though sports were his main interest, Ed did not lack other activities. He was president of the Varsity Club and served on various committees.

In everything he did, he went on the assumption that if you're going to do a job, do it well. In his spare time, if any, Ed can be seen with his gal Sal.

Winners and co-holders of the 1946 Johnson Memorial award are Ed Davey and Bud Gasser.

Davey having been "done justice" on the preceding page as a Who's Who, we will devote most of this space to his co-holder, Bud Gasser.

An outstanding tackle in football, Gasser was nominated to honorable mention on the AllState selections of 1945. He also excels in basketball and has been a strong helper in Birm-

ingham's winning of the District Class B championship.

Gasser is an outstanding second baseman, having won his letter on the diamond two years, with this season still remaining.

In writing for journalism, Gasser is probably the most versatile Sports Showup writer in many years; he possesses natural talent for writing, especially in the fields of sports in which he has excelled.

GRID SPOTLIGHT-'45

Placing second in the newly-formed Eastern Michigan League, consisting of Mt. Clemens, Hazel Park, Port Huron, Ferndale, and Birmingham, and playing a brand of football Birmingham likes to see is exactly what the Maple grid men did in '45. They really proved they wouldn't take a back seat for anybody.

In the opening game Birmingham easily disposed of Van Dyke, 27-7, tallying twice in each half.

Journeying to Melvindale, the Maples were forced to settle for a scoreless tie. Poor weather conditions hampered both teams' offensives.

Entertaining Hazel Park in their first league encounter, Birmingham met considerable trouble.

When the smoke of battle had cleared, the scoreboard showed another scoreless tie.

A fast, aggressive Dearborn team went home with a 24-0 win. Three long touchdown runs by Bill Grigg, State 440 champ, highlighted the game.

In their second league game the Maples defeated Mt. Clemens on the latter's field, 18-6, showing fine defensive and offensive power.

Birmingham and Port Huron met at Pierce Fieid for one of the most bitterly contested battles seen here, the Maples managing to come out on top, 7-0. A third period Maple drive and conversion proved to be the margin.

The sixth game found Grand Haven entertaining Birmingham. Two late touchdowns enabled the lakeside boys to come out on top 13-0.

In the contest that decided the league title, Ferndale defeated Birmingham 6-0, a 55-yard run by Jim Morrish on the third play of the game spelling the difference.

Concluding the season against their traditional rival, Royal Oak, in the annual Thanksgiving Day game, the Maples found extremely bad field conditions prevailing throughout the game.

Two runs by Bob Graves showed the way for the Oaks. Final score: Royal Oak 13, Birmingham 0.

born, and Cranbroo k, the Maples were downed only once, then by the 1944 State Class A champion, Lincoln Park. The harriers also tied for third place in the state meet.

HARDWOOD REVIEW Paced by the sharpshooting of Chuck Murray, highest scoring Maple cager in school history, the 1946 Birmingham basketball team compiled a fine record of ten wins against five losses in tough Class A competition.

Entering the state tournament, the Maples knocked out Clawson 37-30 and Rochester 45-28 to cop the District Championship at Ferndale.

Next they took on Marysville in the first round of the Regionals, winning 53-26. But Fenton, last year's champs, proved too much for the Maples and won the Regional championship, 38-29.

In Eastern Michigan League play Birmingham finished in third place behind undefeated Port Huron and Hazel Park. Two triumphs over their old rival, Ferndale, and additional victories against Mt. Clemens and Hazel Park, victorious over the Maples for three years, failed to erase the sting of an overtime defeat by Port Huron.

Leading by one point with 11 seconds remaining, the locals succumbed in overtime to the Big Red when the boos of a partisan Birmingham crowd caused a technical foul that allowed Port Huron to knot the score.

Wins over the Alumni, Van Dyke, East Detroit, and a highly touted Dearborn quintet, later Class A Regional and Downriver League Champs, filled out the list of Maple triumphs.

Birmingham was not quite equal to the task of whipping Royal Oak and 6-foot 5-inch Norm Zauchin, dropping its only non-league start to the Acorns.

Reserve Basketball Squad: Clockwise, Walter Allison, Chuck Dunn, Bob Saffell, Jack Moses, Rusty Davies, Bud Worde, George Pope, Bill Kindley, Drayton McClelland, Bill Robertson, George Burdick, Jim McCall.

HARDWOOD HDOES Captain "Dash" probably loves the game of basketball more than any other man on the squad. He is especially skillful on long shots and can be counted on to sink one Only a junior, in the clutch.

Chuck Murray is one of the most outstanding basketball players ever to wear a Maple uniform.

Consistently leading the scoring attack, he set a new individual season's record of 181 points.

Leon Thurston helped make this year's team most aggressive. Always scrappy, he is constantly after the ball, and his presence in the line-up gives the team extra incentive and defensive power.

Ed Davey is the cool member of the squad. He was an important link in the potent fast break Birmingham used to great advantage.

Bud Gasser is one of the best defensive players on the squad. Although he was a little anxious under the basket, he was up on the bank consistently snaring rebounds. His skillful ball hawking meant control of the ball by the Maples.

Roger Reynolds was "the find of the year." His first season he add-

ed extra scoring punch and led in percentage of free throws made with .574. His 99 was second only to Murray in total points.

Dan Grigg is the tallest senior on the team. He began clicking this year and provided baskets when they counted.

Dick Blauman is the lone sophomore. His unusual height will make him a valuable asset for future teams.

Eugene Sutton is fast and shifty.

He played mostly in reserve games, providing the spark that gave the secondaries an outstanding record.

Jack Hardy is a newcomer to Birmingham but has already made his mark. Mainstay of the reserves this season, he seems a bright prospect for '47.

Bob Daeschner was another high scoring reserve. Bob and Dick have been able to confuse many an opponent with their twin act.

Jack Filkins consistently led the reserve point getters this season.

He is exceptionally "dead" on his long shots and should prove valuable next season.

-Bill Bones

IN HONOR OF THOSE WHO STRIVE

Early this year there was added to the case the beautiful "Bucky" Zoellin Memorial Trophy, a self-perpetuating memorial to the fine character and sportsmanship shown by Birmingham's former track star, the late "Bucky" Zoellin. This trophy was presented to the school by Fred Zoellin, Jr., on behalf of "Bucky's" family and close friends. It is an honor every track athlete would be proud to strive for and attain.

During his three years in high school "Bucky" was a leading scorer in both track and cross country, distinguishing himself by his hard work, attainments, and sportsmanship.

The trophy is of bronze, representing Mercury, the wing footed god of speed; it stands 24 inches in height. The torch held in the left hand symbolizes inspiration while the scroll in the right represents fame. A frieze of Grecian figures encircles the base.

Each boy winning the trophy will receive for himself a gold medal with a replica of the trophy on its face.

Birmingham is deeply honored to receive such a trophy encouraging keen sportsmanship, athletic excellence, and high moral character.

Rules and a point system by which the winner will be decided have been set up by Fred Zoellin, Sr., a true friend of boys and sports.

CINDERPATH REVIEW The 1945 thinckxds, off to a rather discouraging start, had a satisfying and successful 1945 season.

Going into their opening meets without veteran pole vaulter, Shep Crim, out with a shoulder injury, the Maples fell prey to their first three opponents. Pontiac was first and went away with a 65-39 victory.

The next two meets with Ferndale and Mt. Clemens were both heartbreakers-dos e meets right up through the last field event and then all depending on the relay. The Maples were nosed out by scant inches in both meets and lost 53-51, probably because of a shortage of dash men.

For their first win of the season the Maroons came out on top of another close one, this time over Cranbrook, 53-51. The extra margin was furnished by Crim in his first meet. The boys now took their next.two meets by wide margins: Hazel Park 74-30, and Port Huron 82-22.

In all dual meets except Ferndale the Maples took all places in the high iump with Tom Woodhouse Stan Schaefer, Don Buell, Chuck Adams,

and Jim Jensen doing the jumping.

At Ypsilanti the Maples successfully defended their Regional crown, topping seven other schools and qualifying eleven men to go to the state meet. They were Tom Zoellin, Jim Jensen, Bill Old, Tom Woodhouse, Bill Sproull, Stan Schaefer, Don Buell, Dana Elcar, Bruce Sander, Neil Spicer, and Shep Crim.

The final feather in the Maples' cap was the wmning of the first Eastern Michigan League championship meet ever held. Halted once by a tremendous downpour, the meet was held commencement day, and Birmingham led the field by seven points over second-place Ferndale to add another beautiful trophy to our , collection.

DIAMOND DIGEST Although Birmingham's 1945 baseball squad contained only one senior, the Maples completed a surprisingly successful season, breaking even against strong Class A opponents. Birmingham came up with a fast, peppy infield with Grigg, Gasser, and Kordenbrock holding down the bases, and Cramer and Y erk doubling at shortstop and pitcher.

Coach Helmer had an abundance of good fellows with Davey, Filkins, Anderson, and Saffell.

The main battery consisted of York and Eade, with Cramer, Bones, and Frixen also turning in fine pitching performances.

The Maples opened the season by playing host to Ferndale. Lincoln's renowned pitching staff of Heiser and Hettler set Birmingham down with only three hits.

Coming back fast, York' turned in a two hitter against Mt. Clemens, shutting out the Bathers in a tight pitchers' duel.

Facing a hard-hitting Hazel Park team, the Maples fought back run for run, obtaining an eight-all tie at the end of the regulation seven innings. Going into extra frames, the Birmingham pitching staff proved overworked and bowed to the Parkers after ten innings.

Next the squad journeyed to Port Huron where York gave up only four hits. However, the Maples were almost shut out, Bill Eade getting the only hit off Cain, Port Huron hurler.

The Maples then smashed through a four-game winning streak, Bones and Cramer each turning back Cranbrook on the Crane's diamond. Continuing the string, Birmingham avenged the first meeting with Hazel Park, shutting out the Parkers 3-0. To wind up the victory swing, the

Maples stopped Mt. Clemens on a wet, muddy field, Cramer fanning 13 batters.

It took Cain, lanky Port Huron hurler, to stop Birmingham in a tightly pitched game at Pierce Field.

Next came a double header with Royal Oak. The opener was a heartbreaker, Bill Bones striking out 11 men and allowing only two hits, but the Maples lost 2-0. In the nightcap, Birmingham bounced back and outslugged the Acorns in a free-hitting contest.

Winding up the season against Ferndale, league champs, the Maples again found the Lincoln pitching staff tee tough. Anderson got the only hit off Heiser.

With four returning lettermen sparking the squad, the 1945 tennis team, coached by Larned Goodrich, had a fairly successful season.

Winning four and losing five in the regular season against tough competition, the team went into the regional tournaments. Although being runner-up, it q'i1alified Bud Gregory in singles and Walter Bears and Tom Cookerly in doubles for the state finals where they were eliminated in the first roun9-.

Letters were awarded four veterans: Captain Bud Gregory, Walter Beers, Chuck Crandell, and Tom Cookerly. John Bones, Dick Adams, and Bob Daeschner also received letters.

Power On every battle frontG.I.Joe sawproofofGMC's pulling power.

In the South Pacific, in temperatures as high as 130 degrees, GMC "six-by-sixes" hauled huge loads through hub-deep mud and sand. In Europe, GMCs played the leading role on the famous Red Ball Express. In Alaska's ice and snow, Burma's jungles and Italy's mountain trails . . . wherever heavy loads were pulled through heavy going . . . GMC trucks did the job.

G.I. Joe knows about GMC pulling power ... and what he can tell you is mightily important to truck buyers. For GMC commercial trucks, in all models from ½ to 20 tons, have engines of the same basic design as their military brothers. They offer the civilian counterpart of the power, performance and stamina demonstrated by nearly 600,000 GMC Army "Workhorses."
