The good name of Baldwin High School is not dependent upon individuals who have entered its doors. It is a composite of the success of many slu• dents who have contributed their best over the years, in the activities of the school.

Talent has been diversified in every entering class. Some' have achieved athletic success, while others have won academic honors in competitive examinations. Unusual ability has been demon· strated in Dramatics, School Assemblies, Publications, and civic responsibilities.

There are two points of view which mus: prevail if Baldwin ls to continue her progress, or even achieve greater success. In the first place, students must make sure that everyone Is given a chance to contribute in some way to the )lie of Baldwin. This does not ·mean that leadership cannot continue in the hands of those capable of it. It does mean that a se::treh for the ways and means of ctiscoverlng in· terest and abilities will be devised so that EVERY stud9nl will be drawn into some activity, and have a sense of belonging to the school.

This responsibility is not solely placed on the leaders of the school. Students must develop a willingness to enter Into the spirit of the si::hool-to become a part of the activities In any role whl-::h may be necessary to make the program a success.

The second point of view Is that of attitude, which,

as much as contribution of talent, is necessary to the success of the school. Every student should preserve a friendly, cooperative attitude a t all costs if the atmosphere of Baldwin is lo be conducive to rich participation by each member of the s::hool.

The merging of these two factors results in the teamwork which is necessary in that segment o! society housed within the walls of Baldwin High School. Truly, it is a cross-section of life as it will b, carried on in any other institution. For every ball carrier there must be blocking a nd interference -a determination for the school to win, supported by organized cheers from the sidelines, and the emotional tingle of music which bring s every person to his feet as the Alma Mater is played by the band.

Every student must make his contribution in terms of his abilities and interests. The degree to which this fundamental principle is applied will mark the development of a sense of pride in the accomplish· ments of his school.

A good school is a team work proposition and the spirit of Bcrldwin must not only be preserved but foatered so that students will anticipate it before entering her halls, and treasure it in their hearts for long years ofter their graduation.

Teamwork certainly made itself apparent in: November with the momentous "doin's" leading up to and including the Turkey Day football game. The whole thing began when Frank Whitney, athletic director, presented to the journalism class an idea that had- been brewing in his mind for some time.

This was all that was needed to set the machinery in motion. Immediately the i o urn a 1i s m c l a s s accepted the responsibility of the entire campaign; and with Dick Stoll as chairman and "Get That Jug" as the slogan, the wheels began to turn. · With all the secrecy of a spy ring, the group worked "underground" in preparation for its first planned move. About two weeks before the game, liitle maple leaf stickers with "Get That Jug" printed on them began appearing on the windshields of faculty automobiles. Later every student was issued a sticker to put on his notebook, car or locker.

Scon, the school's blackboards were covered with "Gei That Jug" written in every language from Russian to Latin. The public address announcements began and ended with the slogan, and Miss McGiHin had her students wriie it on all their papers.

Meanwhile other committees were organizing as integral parts of the whole promotion campaign.

The main portion of the exchange assembly was devoted to the radio play dealing with the "Whistler," a ring of Communist spies, "The Little Brown Jug," and the captains of the Birmingham and Royal Oak football teams. Those in the cast were Jim Ensign, Jo Laucomer Cora Mack, John Sheldon, Tom Mills, Bob Saffell Jim McCall. and George Burdick. Before it was taken to Royal Oak, the assembly was tried out on the home audience and proved hilarious.

Monday prior to the game the campaign reached a crescendo. In the trophy case were miniature €ditions of "The Jug" to be awarded the players, managers, and coach when they returned victorious.

Tuesday morning found a 'lcrrge canvas banner in front of school with "Get That Jug" painted on it in huge letters. In the afternoon Royal Oak students brought their exchange program, and it was very interesting to contrast the two schools' assemblies.

Wednesday the enthusiasm of the students cul• minated in the big pep rally at the Birmingham Theatre. This also had been well organized with the cheerleading squad, the Varsity Club, and Howard C. Holah, manager of the theatre, working together to produce a program lo be remembered.

With Jim Ensign as the emcee, the rally consisted of a few remarks by Mr. Wagner, Captain George Burdick, Coach Secontine and several former Maroon captains. Following the movie "Perils ol Pauline," the mob of students filed out filled with rousing enthusiasm for the next day's game.

Another phase of the vigorous before.game activities was the "Whistler" assembly taken to Royal Oak as an exchange assembly. Participating are Jim Ensign, Kokie Mack, Jo Laucomer, John Sheldon, and Jim McCall The climax is reached and spirit mounts high when the big day finally comes and Birmingham and Royal Oak fems watch their teams anxiously.

The meeting will come to order! As the s harp ring of the p residential gavel fi lls the air, these Iour words set in mo• tion the wheels of Ba ldwin's legislative ma ch inery.

Discussion is brewing.

Wha t will Student Congress do now?

This is a logical que stion inasmuch as the policy makers h a ve engaged in so many activities d uring the past year tha t it is nearly im possible to prognosticate wha t p roject they will undertake next.

In the sp ring session the first obied of enthusiasm was lo capture the city hall for a day. There was no stopping these civic-minded Baldwinites. Their zeal for Civ ic Control Day not only made the p roject a h uge success but also resulted in stirring up the interest of the townspeople in the annual m unicipal election .

The Saturda y excursion to Port Huron's lea g ue con ference on better interschool rela tio ns d id not extend the local congressmen. The Baldwin salons very ably managed to monopolize the mee ting, m uch to the distress ol their disma yed adviser. This was only the beginning. The outgrowth of ihe conferenee was th e birth ol the Eastern Michiga n Congress of Student Govern· ments. Yes, the Maples naturally assumed the lead in p romoting this organiza tion.

When the last d a ys of May were rolling by , ii was the una nimous decision of the exhausted Bald winites to reward their semeste r's e fforts with a ga y-and mig ht we a dd, s lightly ex· travagant - banquet. Devon Gables

was the place; the sky was the limit.

As b urdened wailers served the varied courses, the legislators read a spe=ial edition of the "Baldwin Blast," engaged in heated debates, delivered disparagin g orations, a nd reviewed the semester's accomplish ments.

As the school doors opened again in the kill, President Gerry Hughes and his rejuvenate d Congress promoted one of the best field days in the history of Baldwin. A locomotive headed the parade and the students followed, garbed in the traditional red, blue, and green. The cheerleade rs went w1!d as the class champions tilled on the field of battle. Who won? W ell, that is a touchy quesl!on; but ask a junior maybe he will tell.

Bundle Day! No, it is not the laun· dry man; just Student Congress collecting old clothes for the people of Europe. Were 1hey successful? It was all one could do lo keep the clo:hes on his back from going abroad. Bui this wasn' t the end. The representatives immediate ly set out to collect some 4,000 cans of food lo feed these siorving millions.

These are o few of the activities chosen al random. Ii only there wero space, w e could go on to tall of the first E M. C.

This year's play was the smashing Broadway success "Dear Ruth,'' by Norman Krasna, and it gave Birmingham audiences two hilarious evenings.

The play was under the direction of Miss Ruth Hull, long noted for her com• petent direction of school play s. Who can forget the jittery Albert and Bi!l, the wolf in lieutenant's uniform?

Much credit is also due the other players, who spent long hours in prac· lice after school and eagerly studied their lines in dread of the great onecent-fine-per-linel Varied properties also created a problem. How does one get enough lilacs lo fill a stage or make a huge package of crackerjack look convinc· ing? These were just a few of the problems of the property committee and then, lo top ii all, what is stage liquor?

All this goes to show that a school play isn't all glory and gumdrops by any means.

Laurels are also due to Judy Pardee, student director, who performed a very competent and reliable iob.

Getting back to the play. To those •who didn't see it, "Dear Ruth" is o warm-hearted, feather-l:ght comedy, delineating the trials of a girl subjected to a whirlwind courtship by an Air Force lieutenant to whom her younger sister wrote amorous letters- and what letters! Ruth is happily oblivious. of this fact, is concerned at the time with a mild lover of her own; but when the lieutenant returns from overseas, he makes a beeline for her home. Varied complications arise, too numerous to mention; but in the end Bill gets the girl.

As far as popular songs go, one will sit ba ck and remember that the hit tune of 1948, "I'm Looking O ver a Four-Leaf Clover" was number one on that yeru's bit para de. There are many of us, however, who don' t know that song wa s a hit when our daddies went to college and that it used to be a big minstrel show.

Wha t better idea than to plan an allboy show around the theme of banios, burnt cork, and So'th'n moonlight? This filled the bill with Gerry Hughes, and he passed the idea on to the boys themselves.

The idea was to have the show as an assembly. At the first presentation ii met with such wild approval that there was demand for the show as a regular night performance with admis• sion. It was sponsored by the 1948 Washington Group which sold tickets lo defray individual e xpenses.

After long, hard practice, the show was ready for the public. Miss Dorothy Allen certainly deserves orchids for her compete nt direction of the dusky tribe, as does Victor Ulrich for his excellent musical assistance.

The show had all the traditional songs, dances, endmen jokes, and trappings of minstrelsy showed up with a sparkle to the music of Cliff Dixon and his banjo to put a foot tap· ping note into the gay, show. Who ca n forget George Townsend's impression of Al Jolson, the Ballin' the Jack, cake· walk, and chorus numbers?

"Swimmers, position---get set---go" was the now familiar phrase added to the GAA vocabulary. A swimming team was a new addition to the GAA this year. The proiect is still developing but the team pitched in with zest and won the first two meets with Pontiac.

Every Tuesday night found Sally Buck, Betty Whitelaw, Carolyn Abbott, Beverly Yates, Mary Kemp, Betsy Drake, and Nancy Beck engaged in doing laps or trying to drown a fellow team member.

An annual event is the Sharks' water carnival which combined this year with the boys' brand nev swim team to stage a show. Sally Bucks was presi· dent of the Sharks.

Another of the new activities which the GAA sponsored was the girls' club basketball games. Two preliminary se ts of games w e re played before the finals when Tiara Club won over Y-Teens.

The GAA participated in a number of play days and inter-school activities this year. Playdays with Farmington, Northville, Dearborn, and Kingswood in basketball, hockey, and bowling made up the schedule.

The GAA basketball team improved a great deal this season.

On the team were Gerry Woolley,

Anne Lundberg, Ginny Hood, Ginny Schaffer, Audrey

Engel Sally Buck, Sherrill Williams, and Barb Hughes. Part of basketball were the intramural games played first between the various gym class teams and then beween the classes themselves.

Directing this schedule

activities is Margaret

Herbison, instructor of girls' physical education.

The GAA officers are the student directing body and carry the responsibility. Officers are Anne Lundberg president; Gerry Woolley, vke president; Marilyn Davey secretary; Ginny Schaffer, treasurer; Barb Hughes, hislorian; Audrey Engel, intramural manager, and Sally Buck, Sharks Club president.

With an exciting flourish of trumpets the Field Day oarade started its march down the street. First came the band wearing any old thing. Then marched the mighty seniors in their traditional red and white garb and Choo Choo '48. The mightie1 Juniors, their ranks a solid mass of blue and white, came next. Bringing up the rear the supposedly timid sophomores strutted their green and while.

As the motley cr~w approached the tall gray fence of Pierce Field, · a wave of excitement rushed over the weary paraders. The seniors w~re smug with the thought of their usual victory , but the iun· iors were sure that the tables were going to be turned. The sophomores were confident of third place, of course.

The stands were filled, the flag w as raised and the voice announcing the first event was heard over the public address system. At one end of the field the contestants gathered for the starting gun. Nervous· ness spread over the expectant students. One hour and each class would know its fate. One after an· other the games were nm oH; the classes cheered their entrants on.

The end of the contests came nearer and the crowd became noisier. The last race was finished and a complete silence descended while the judgE!S tabulated the points. The scores were announced and the seniors hung their heads. The victorious cheers of the juniors drowned out everything, for they had won Field Day for the first time in 15 years.

Following as a poor second were the seniors, and •the sophomores had their expected third place.

Highlights of the Baldwin Marching Band season were the two formations, "Uncle Tom's Cabin" o~ the home field, and the "Bond Fight" at Royal Oak at the Turkey Day qame. These formations showed the public something of the co-operation that is needed to make a bcmd click. The students are· grateful to the band for its support at home basketball and football games.

The band program this year as usual was packed with such activities as swing-out and graduation, playing on Hallowe'en, Memorial Day, and· Christmas Eve. The annual concert and band festivals take their places on the agenda, too.

The last time the band went to the district festival al Fordson High School it received a second division in concert playing and a first division in sight reading. This made the group one of only two class B bands lo qualify for the state festival -from our district. The band was not able to go, however, as a result of the conflicting dates of the festival and spring vacation.

The Baldwin Music Club organized this fall, was started by a group of students intensely interested in classical music. The main objective of the chili wa s the introduction of classical music to a group who knew little or nothing about it.

The club programs have covered almost every type of music from the "Three B's"-Boch, Beethoven and Brahms-to modem expressionism and jazz.

In weekly record concerts it is not strange to find Beethoven, ProkoHief and Gershwin sharing the program,

It was very difficult for the first group of officers to choose music because the musical background of the members went from one extreme to the other.

These first progra ms were aided to a great extent by Doug Weeks, first president.

To establish a more permanent organization, a cons titution was drawn up by Peg Baldwin and ratified in January.

At the beginning of the year the group attended two concerts; one wa s g iven by the Boston "Pops" sy mphony orchestra and one by the Philadelphia symphony orchestra.

Active members of the club are B. Reid. K. Kelley C. Scott, D. Weeks, Dave LaTrobe, H. Kurtz, N. Stromquis t, K. Swartz, J. Sheldon, J. Protheroe, D. Irwin, B. Fisher, L. Henshav.t, Don LaTrobe, J. Limp, S. Bader, C. Burnham, M. Stanley, G. Elms, M. Hesz, T. Wyles.

A "new deal" for Birmingham football came when Vincent Secontine was appointed coach of the squad. A graduate of the University of Michigan, Coach Secontlne had coached for a short while al Kiski Prep School in Pennsylvania.

In college Coach Secontine had played right tackle behind the great All American Al Wister!, and he continued his football in the Army until a serious shoulder injury forced him to the sidelines.

Coach Secontine was faced with a serious problem this fall with but four experienced players returning from last year's team. He immediately switched the team from a T formation into the powerful single wing used by Fritz Crisler .at Michigan.

Soon after practice started, fate dealt a hard blow to the team when Dick Adams, one of the few let• termen and only veteran quarterback, injured his shoulder and was lost to the team for the entire season.

Despite all these handicaps, the team steadily improved. The boys lost their first two games only because of lack of experience not through any slack• ening effort. The Maples reached their peak when they held Port Huron, league champion and one ol the two or three best teams in the state, to the second lowest score the Big Red had all season (Berkley having held ihe Blue Water team to a 7-6 score).

With a three-weeks' layoff between the Highland Park and Royal Oak games, the boys got a short

The harriers of Birmingham completed a fair season with two wins and three losses, finishing fourth in the stale meet against keen competition.

Coach J. J. Myers w as new this year, and this was the first lime he had undertaken a running team.

With the help of seven returning lettermen he had Jillie trouble in getting the learn into shape.

Jim Anderson was by far the best runner of the year, finishing second in the state meet and running first in all duo meets except the Royal Oak one. He was elected captain o f the team following the state meet.

Before the state meet the team went to Ypsilanti lo run over the state course against the Michigan State Teachers' ColJege freshman learn. Although the team was defeated, Jim Anderson look first place.

The last dual meet of the season was held al Lincoln Park. Here Jim A nderson set a new record at 10:02 for the course, but Birmingham lost 27-28.

As in the political field, so it is in athletics. At the end four years we make a summary of the accomplishments. The beginning of the 1947-48 bas• ketball season initiated Lloyd A. Cooper's fifth season as basketball coach in Birmingham.

Coach Cooper invented "Cooper's Tether Tennis" which Jack Dempsey said was one of the best games for relaxation and keeping the minds of the men off the war.

Probably his greatest asset as a coach is his ability lo develop good basketball players; for example, he took Rog Reynolds out of a gym class and made him into a very good shot and excellent ball handler. Coach Cooper's greatest accomplishment was the developing of Chuck Murray into an allstate player and beyond doubt Birmingham's great• est.

In his four years as coach of Birmingham teams, Coach Cooper has established a record of t8 wins and 29 losses. Playing in the state tournaments all iour years, his teams have won four district and one regional championship and they have gone to the quarter-finals once. He started his coaching job the year before the Eastern Michigan League was established; and Birmingham has won the league championship once and taken a second place and a third.

On his arrival in Birmingham he started basket· ball in the g rade schools in hopes of having a bette1 boll team in the future .

Considered at first a green team with little ex• perience, the '47-'48 Birmingham cagers finished the season with a most successful record under their belts.

Starting early, the Maple squad journeyed to Lincoln Park for a pre-season tourney, where they trounced Melvindale 37-27. The next night River Rouge dealt the Maroons their first defeat 45-30.

Birmingham placed second in the Eastern Michi• gan League race, losing two games to the league title holders, Port Huron, 30-29, 29-22; and one to Ferndale 34-22.

A well coordinated Maroon zone stopped Royal Oak cold and Birmingham presented the Acorns with a 36-24 defeat to help avenge the 0-0 football tie.

Seeking revenge for last year's shellacking, the Birmingham quintet lashed out at Dearborn, vanquishing the Pioneers 41-37. Wins over the Alumni and a weak Flint-Beecher outfit added two more triumphs to the record.

Meeting little competition in the district tourney, Birmingham romped over Berkley 36-27; and the next night, with the whole squad hitting, the Maples steamrolled Clawson 53-24.

An oft night proved fatal as River Rouge con• quered the Maples in the second round of the regional battle 39-33.

The Maroons' main weapon was the · fast break offense and the fact that four regulars ended the season within seven points of each other: Falin 110, Littleson 108, Murray 106, and McCall 103.

The grant total was 14 wins and five defe~s.

1948 Sea4on Reca,,J, ''Rosie" Lit1leson set up the plays cmd with an amazing change of pace wheeled by many an opponent for precious buckets. Another play maker and long shot-artist was Jimmy Anderson, who also proved mighty valuable on defense.

Despite an ankle injury, Bobby Folin became high point man for the year and the main. candidate for the Zoellin freethrow trophy. Speedy dash man Dick Murray was the spearhead of the Maples' fast break and no mean long shot himself.

The majority of the squad will be back next year, and Pat Wall is no exception. Pat consistently controlled both banks and played every position on Uie team.

Bob Saffell, who suffered an appendectomy, was a stalwart on defense and used a good long shot to advantage. Mac Booth, shifty forward, was laid up during the tourney with scarlet fever.

Alternating from center to forward, Duke Layland used his height lo advantage. Skip Halpin showed a great deal of promise for next year with his sharpshooting. Bill Downey, rugged reserve star, came up to play in the 1ast of the varsity encounters along with scrappy Clay Joyce.

Elected captain for the year was James McCall,

This year's swimming squad has the honor of being Birmingham's first in 18 ye:::u-s. Building up a team from scratch, the tankers nevertheless turned in a good season· s record.

Under the eagle-eye of their capable coach, T. T. Myers, the Maples beat Hazel Park 45 -39 and were runners up lo Mt. Clemens in the league meet al the Bathers' pool February 26. This was the first league swim meet. Birmingham also entered the slate meet.

Starling with kneebends, pushups, situps, and leg lifts, as conditioners, the next thing on the docket was to swim 30 or 40 lengths of the pool with their specialty stroke. The rest of the practice was spent in practicing turns, starts, a nd racing dives.

All boys who placed in the league meet were given letters; and since Birmingham did so very well, 16 boys will gel the monograms. Of these, 13 will be back next year.

The letter winners are Gene Walrath, Steve Campbell Don McClelland, Neil Stoll. Bob Webste r, Ted Harper, Larry Miller, Dick Helgeson, Jack Adams, Corson Dallon, Dick Dean, Tack Goodwin, Bob Woodruff, Lee Hanson, Frank Weaver, and Chuck Marshall.

The dirty job of being manager and servant was Tohn Fricker's. He did a very good iob and re• ceived his first manager's letter.

Copping top league and regional honors and sweeping all their dual meets, the 1947 thinclads upheld Birmingham's tradition of strong track teams.

Ninety aspiring athletes, including ten lettermen, answered Coach Lloyd Cooper's call for recruits.

After ,but a week of practice, some of the veterans traveled to the River Rouge Invitationals at the Uni· versity of Michigan's Yost Field House. The Maple squad's most outstanding performance was turned in by Bill Hickman who, after receiving the baton in twelfth place on the anchor leg of the medley relay, moved up and took the lead, only to be taken by a foot at the finish.

In the Michigan Central Relays at Mt. Pleasant, the mile relay team composed of Jack Phister, Chuck Murray, Jack McBride, and Duane Murphy won a distinctive golden winged foot trophy for placing first.

After winning decisive victories over Port Huron, Cranbrook, Hazel Park, and Royal Oak, the Maroons entered the regional mee t al Wines Field al Ann Arbor. In a drenching rain and numbing wind, the Maples ran away with 26 medals and qualified 15 men for the state meet in a ll but one event.

In the State meet at Michigan State College the next Saturday, Birmingham finished sixth, with Jack Phtster and Dick Groves taking state championships.

Phister flew the 440 in :50.9 tying the state record and setting a new school mark. For this performance he was awarded for the second year the "Bucky" Zoellin Memorial trophy. This award, given annually in memory of "Bucky" Zoellin, Binningham track star of 1943-1945, is given on the basis ol points for performance at the state track meet.

With six returning lettermen Birmingham's '47 tennis squad was hard to beat It opened the season by defeating Pontiac and lost only to Royal Oak. In competition with Eastern Michigan League schools, Birmingham stood out as the season's top team, beating traditionally unbeatable Ferndale twice. Always the scoring was fast and close, but the squad, paced by Captain Ralph Dunbar, came through. At the end of the League season, Birmingham was undefeated and was awarded the trophy.

Dick Adams, · 46 captain, was first man in the singles division for the season and finished with one of the team's best records. In second place, Harris Jackson played a iast game that often was the deciding factor in a meet. Although it was his only year in Birmingham Frank Lyndall was a great asset to the team with his steady dependable game.

The pride of Birmingham's tennis squad was the doubles team of John Bones and Dave Ballentine.

This duo won all scheduled meets.

At the regional tournament in Monroe, Birmingham was up against its toughest competition. For two days every squad member played his hardest and Birmingham took second place out of six, being defeated only by Ypsilanti Central In the classroom as well as on the court, the team led the way with the highest scholastic average of any athletic squad. For these accomplishments the boys were highly complimented by the whole school.

Versatility is the word for Jim Ensign. He leaves his name in the annals of Baldwin as an entertain· er, a leader, a worker, and an excellent student.

Although he is school and Piper photographer, president of the June '48 class, male lead in "De:::ir Ruth," was vice-president of the Assembly Qub. and president of the '48 Washington group, he doesn't

lag in scholarship, for he is a member of the Nationa l Honor Society.

During football season, Jim held down two jobs, cheerleading and reporting over the public address 3ystem.

As endman in "Darktown Follies," he

proved an outstanding comedian.

Few of us will forget the "boy with the bow tie and the camera."

Since the first chapter of the National Honor Society was founded in Birmingham, selection for this organization has been an honor toward which many students strive. Members are chosen each semester by the faculty.

Election of members was made on a point basis this year, a student having to be voted upon by at least five teachers. Ra1ings were as follows: Scholarship: 3.0 to 3.2, six points; 3.3 to 3.4, nine points; 3.5 to 4, twelve points; leadership and serv• ice: exceptional, nine points; good, six points; weak, three points; character: integrity, unquestionably honest, five points; dishonest, minus five points; citizenship, three or two points; emo1ional control. three. two, one points.

Several new features were added to the induc· lion ceremony. The stage setting by Hank Price consisted of an enlarged National Honor Society symbol, through which the members stepped. A review of the history of the club was given by George Allen. He recalled that the chm was organized in 1931 and that 329 Baldwin students have been honored by membership.

Another departure from the past was a talk by

Polly Hanson, a graduate member now a sopho• more at the University of Michigan. She talked on the ideals of the National Honor Society.

All members participated in the ceremony . Norman Goddard, president, was presiding oHicer; Clifford Dunn, vice-president, played a piano solo; Lora Thurston, secretary, was escort; Bill Hickman, treasurer, talked on character; Dick Adams, leadership; Jim Ensign, service; Hank Price, scholarship; Bill Robertson was an escort, and Dick Stoll was herald.

Inducted into the society were Jim Anderson, Ann Lundberg, Pete Abbrecht, Nancy Fisher, Eloise Fowler Shirley Green, Bill Hickman, Sally Howard, Fred Mallender, Sally Smith, Mary Stringer, Virginia Reinhart, Mary Ann Wilkinson, Dave Williams, a nd Jerry Yates.

This year the society has tried to be more active in its service to the school. A scrap-paper drive to keep the halls clean was sponsored. The slogan, "Get in the scrap" was used for the campaign. The Na1ional Honor Society was responsible also for obtaining much needed pencil sharpeners for the study hall.

Officers for the spring semester were Jim Anderson president; George Allen, vice-president; Ann Lundberg, secretary, and Pete Abbrecht. treasurer.

One of the most highly specialized honors that con come lo a Birmingham senior is that of election lo Quill and Scroll, interna1ionol honor society for high school journalists. Each year only a few merit this award, local requirements for which are very high.

To be e ligible for recommendation for Quill and Scroll, a student must be a senior in the lop quarter of his class. He must have done "distinguished work" on high school publications- two years on one stoH or one year on several staHs. Included may be work on editorial, sales, advertising, or business divis ions of the Piper, football programs, or other pub lications; newswriling for the Birmingham Eccentric is also considered. Samples of the published work of editors, newswriters, etc., must be submitted a long with recommendations.

Qualified cand idates ore recommended by Publications advisers lo the headquarters of the society at the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University. Here the executive secretary of the society makes the final choice .

Those recommended from Birmingham in 1948 were Pete Abbrecht, sports editor of the Piper, sports reporter for the Eccentric, and editor of Birmingham copy and pictures for the Royal Oak footba ll program; George Allen, member of the advertising and business statts of the 1947 Piper and business manager of the 1948 volume and of four football pro· grams; Gerry Hughes, associate editor of the 1947

Piper and sports news and feature writer for the Birmingham Eccentric; Virginia Reinhurt, co-editor of the 1948 Piper and editorial staff member of the 194'3 and 1947 books; Dick Stoll, assistant advertising manager of the 1947 Piper and advertising manager of the 1948 Piper and four football programs.

Publications Honor Award is a comparatively new and unknown honor. It was established to give recognition to those students who do "distinguished work" on publication but who lack a single one of the qualifk:ations essential for recommendation lo Quill and Scroll; i.e., they may not have served as long a lime or may not be in the upper quarter ot the graduating class. Named for the Honor Award this year were Jeannot Barnes and Barbara Kelley, co-editors of the 1948 Piper and editorial staff mem· bers of the 1947 books and Janet Fishack, sales manager of the 1948 Piper and co-sales manager ol the football programs. All three were also newswriters for the Birmingham Eccentric.

Quill and Scroll has its own trust fund established by the charter members for this oldest Birmingham honor society established in 1929-1930.

From this fund dues of new members are paid and gold keys purchased. Pub)icatlons Honor Award also has a distinctive pin of original de~ign, the die fo:- which is owned by Baldwin Publications.

In the picture are Pete Abbrecht, George Allen, Dick Stoll, Virginia Reinhart, Jeannot Barnes, Janet Fishack, and Barbara Kelley.
