1954 Piper Yearbook

Training Ski 11s Bill Wedge shows Pete Mosher the safe way to operate one of the huge s aws in the completely equipped modem shop. A full program of shop courses is available to boys and household mechanics is also open to girls.

Like most high schools in and around the Motor City, Birmingham has a, good course in auto mechanics. With two classes, each doing three clock hours every day in classroom and shop, Mr. Mott turns out some competent mechanics. The boys study motors from the simple to the complicated, repair cars, a nd in general keep themselves and many of the teachers on wheels. Ed Offer, Bob Plasko, Steve Wist and Dave Goad assemble a motor.

14

Practical Arts

For the first time in many years, the high school could accommodate an adult education program. Now strangers as well as friends invade the building several nights a week to use its facilities for many different kinds of classes, among them upholstery.

Students in household mechanics learn the right way to tackle those jobs around the home. It's a nice thing to know how to fix that leaky faucet or to repair that frayed light cord. Mr. Duris supervises work on various projects engaging the attention of Nancy White, Richard McKee, Rick Emerson Richard Renchard, Gary George- and Tom Compton.

16

Applied Arts

The Little Gallery just outside the art room provides opportunity to exhibit work of the art students. Anne Kiser, Joanne Cross and Jeff Life are busy keeping the bulletin board neat and attractive.

The inbicacies of the loom present no mysteries to Sue Taylor and Ann Hammer, experts in their weaving and handicrafts class.

Ceramics give students a chance to ex• press their creative talent with something more permanent than pencil and sketch pad. Judy Hogan, Judy Crain and Ellen Sidorski are absorbed in their work with

clay.

16

And Sciences What with all the campaigns - political sales, and publicity - that go on almost continuously in Birmingham High School, it's a good thing there's a fine local artists' supply store like Green's. It's raided constantly for supplies for just such jobs as you see Dick Thalacker and Gen Leland doing here as they collaborate on some of the huge signs for the Piper sales campaign.

It takes considerable artistic ability and a flair for mathematics to make good in mechanical drawing. Joe Kidwell and Fred Harley observe some of the techniques from Bill Hagen.

Extensive use has been made of the Ozalid machine this year. A group took a trip to Detroit to learn more about its possibilities and then ran off hundreds of "photographs" for the fall sports dinner program, using screened positives and super-quality paper. The new school song was also first "published" by printing copies on the Ozalid machine. Top operator is Ron Reuter, partly hidden by Howard Johnson; with Bob Allen and Chuck Harris, these boys did the hours of work made necessary by the four pictures in the dinner program.

17

Household Arts and BHS girls learn in sewing that it's easy to stretch the budget and be well dressed if they can make their own. Here Linda Lewis, Jude Bujold, Gwen Smith, Norma Sinclair and Beverly Hea1h toke steps to be prepared for summer vacation.

Katie Abbrecht and Alano Dodge get started on storing their groceries after a trip to Quarton market, fine neighborhood food shop that prides itself on the quality they like.

Only boys to elect cooking in the history of BHS, Mickey O'Connor and Joe Archer concentrate on Operation Teachers' Tea for which they are to plan and prepare refreshments. Those brownies look good!

18

How They Help The st.rains of "How Dry I Arn" remind Pat MacLennan and Julie Winter that the automatic drier has done its job. Modem equipment and up-to-the-minute facilities make the homemaking department one of the finest in the state. Girls learn to operate the kind of appliances they will use at home. No back to Grandma's day for them!

That experience in sewing comes in handy as Nancy Walser and Penny Nelson assure Jim Hogan that faultless style and a perfect fit will be his for the seniors' Alpine parade in Field Day.

As the frosting scorches and the oven cools, Janie Racine and Sue Doherty resolve to get their baked goods at Anderson's bakery hereafter and leave all their baking to the professionals - who do it better anyway.

19

Retailing After the daily sessions in the classroom, the retailing students leave for work where they will apply what they have learned.

Many leave the building crt 11:30, eating lunch uptown. Chuck Viers, Marsha Hicks, Ray Worthley. and Alice McCasey.

The bigest retailing group ever to elect this course in Birmingham High School furnishes part-time employees for many local busines places. The reports have it that they do o. good job.

Laboratory Sciences A burst of steam, a flash of light, an ultra-sonic squeal - the physics students are at their experiments again. Candlelight holds the attention of Bob Lavery and Bill King while Joan Tillotson and Mike Garrison concentrate on the temperature inside a steam jacket.

"The coefficient of linear expansion equals relative humidity times the wave length." Bob Lavery experiences the same difficulties as all other physics students trying to grind out reports in the wee hours of the morning while Morpheus woos.

Even freshmen are exposed to scientific experimental procedure. Jim Kraus and Tris Coffin demonstrate with a steam apparatus they constructed.

And This and That Although occasionally Mr. Newcomb has to assign "greenhouse club" for punishment, most students thoroughly enjoy digging in the dirt to discover that green thumb - if any. This trio leans toward floriculture. Roger Cudini. Joan Cummings, Dick Sheldon.

Educationa l When a student is taking geometry, it is helpful to be a contortionist as well as a mathematical wizard. Sid Fawcett is amused as Carole Olsen and Bill Hay dem• onstrate their prowess in both fields.

An innovation in methods of electing class officers was introduced this year. As a chance at democracy in action, the civics classes are given the opportunity to manage these elections. Bill Martin records results of the senior balloting as returns are tabulated by Tom Tabor, Chuck Bosley, Tina Schwenk, and Sandra Parrish.

By using modem office machines daily, Nancy Darby, Dorothy Schmidt and Phyllis Strang practice some of the skills they hope will help to get them jobs that will earn paychecks in the fu ture.

Experiences The library staff has certainly grown in numbers! Perhaps the fact that our library could not be used to capacity the first semester had something to do with it; Miss Brunette took hold immediately. and the entire staff fell in with her plans.

A rich extra-curricular program offers everyone the opportunity to select, to follow the path of his interest, to know the joy of belonging, of working with others.

The Highlander Is Jan McColl was editor-in-chief of the first-place winning Highlander both semesters this year, the only staff member ever to achieve this honor. She was the unanimous choice of the staff. The fact that the paper won honor recognition shows that the staff's judgment was good. Here Jan is finally pleased with the makeup she has planned.

The paper's ears and most of the advertisements are set in the print shop and press proofs pulled.

Jan and Alice Basford took printing last fall and learned a lot that proved useful in their jobs. Anxious ad managers Jim Hogan and Dick Perry stand by to snatch the proofs hot off the press.

"Stuffing" the Highlander - around 1700 copies - is not highly skilled labor. Everyone pitches in AFTER the paper is read word for word!

The efficient production line inserting slip sheets and Rotos consists of Joon Fairbairn, Pete Kass, Susan Doherty. Jim Kraus, Bob Jenkins, Mary Ellen Budd, and Cherry Harris. Frank Phillips gathers up the finished papers and helps Gordon Provon, ciI-

culation manager. count and stock them for distribution to 1450 students and teachers and 250 mail subscribers, administration, and advertisers.

At Work and Play

The Piper started the year under a cloud; and for a long lime it was doubtful if the yearbook would survive. Mr. Helmrich, editorial adviser, had resigned; and it was too late to hire someone.

Finally, a pinch-hiUer was located, and the project got underway, moving at first with approximately the speed of a glacier. Workers on the yearbook must make it theh first choice activity because staff work is exceedingly demanding but also richly rewarding. Editor-in-chief is Alice Basford, whose capacity for painstaking work and clever ideas is unlimited; learning to crop red proofs and figure them for "blowups" are associate editors Pat Booze and Jane Racine.

The late-slaving Piper staff feasts on delicious carry-out chicken chow mein from Pearl's Chop Suey dining room. The ad staff picked up the steaming hot quart buckets of "the best" and repaired with sales and editorial staff to the little apartment. As you can see, service was strictly informal! In the background are the ruins of the big sheet cake, dessert. Gorging themselves are Dick Thalacker, Martin Abbrecht, Jim Hogan, Bob Ketchum, Judy von Rosen, Dick Perry and Jane Racine.

Briefing her staff on use of the photographer's slip-stick (slide rule to you) is editor-in-chief Alice Basford. At the other end of the table sports editors Martin Abbrecht and Dick Thalacker listen critical1y because they taught her!

Seated are Mmtin, Dick, Marillee Podlesok. Pot Booze. Allee, Tone Racine; standing, Clair De Nador, Barbaro Gowans. Megan Butler, Ann Gordner, Tom Hoisted, Judie Colwell, Katie Abbrecbt, Carol Cowgill. Judy von Rosen. Betty Baker a nd Dick Morse.

W ith the Annual Staff The business board of strategy figures carefully to be sure that the yearbook is sure to make its ambitious budget. Bob Ketchum, business manager, started solving problems with the first bids and advertising space was sold out in six working days - oversold, in fact, and four pages added. Then to make financing doubly sure the sales manager crocked all existing records with 1360 books! Bob Ketchum, Dick Perry, ads; Dick Thalacker, sales; Jim Hogan, ads.

Here's the ad staff that sold out in less than a week of working days - nearly $2000 worth of space! The staff spent many hours thinking up new ideas, taking pictures, making copy anything to be sure our advertisers get their money's worth.

The band is ably run by its officers Ed Nordstrom, vice-president; Jerry Mills, treasurer; Pat Booze,

secretary; and Bob Owen, president. They assess fines for disturbing the rehearsal; and the money collected, which is considerable, is used for the annual banquet at the close of the year.

82

Music, Maestros

One of the Bond's b est soloists this year is John Boulton on the flute. His first division roting at the solo and ensemble festival for years is recognition of his exceptional musical ability. Like that of the other soloists, his ability is proved by his notable performance in ensembles and on his own.

The popular dance band very much in demand is Dave Andreae and h is Six Teeners. The sweet refrains of Tom Rockwell, guitar; Bob Goldsmith, drums; Brod Smith, s axophone ; Tom Masters, trombone; Dave at the piano; and Sharon Stanton, vocalist, a re heard at many school dances, not only locally but for miles around. Decorative Sharon and her vivacious persona lity lend sparkle. The b and travels throughout ilie region pla ying for dances in the neighboring communities.

Wherever the Six Teeners go, boys and girls gather to request the favorite ''In the Mood."

83

Strike Up

Tom. Masters is one of the most versatile members of the band.

That he is an excellent trombone soloist was evidenced by the superior rating he received at the solo and ensemble festival and his selection by the band members to play at their annual concert. Tom's talent and competent performance highlight the Six Teeners' offerings.

Even greater things are expected of him in the future.

Just before band practice starts, the room is a confused riot of sound - toots, squeaks, rwnbles, snores and occasional wheezes. A few minutes later one of the state's best prep bands settles down to producing harmonious, ear-soothing music.

First division ratings at the band festival and the superior concert demonstrate its quality. The members' sound musicianship is also attested by superior rating at the solo and ensemble festival

The obliging groups willingly play every chance they get. The comet trio composed of Ed Nordstrom, Jerry Mills, and John Shaffer is one of the best. These able musicians leave vacant chairs which will be hard to fill.

To produce the quality product that this group does is not only a matter of innate ability - talent, if you please; it also calls for a combination of artistic imagination, creative inspiration, and just plain hard, persistent work. They play for self-expression and joy in the finest of the fine arts. Such a group is the woodwind quartet of John Boulton, flute; Joan Gassaway, oboe; Ann Pamie, clarinet; and Dorothy Schwimmer, bass clarinet.

The Band The Band is still Birmingham's only Band. It plays for many athletic events; the Band missed a football game last fall for only the second time in 27 years on account of bad weather. The Band also plays for commuruty affairs such as the city-wide Hallowe'en celebration, Memorial Day parade, and many other command performances. As a marching organization, the Band achieves the letter-perfect standard.

The 1954 Band is another good one in a long line of fine Berndt bands.

It is a rare pleasure to hear Joan Gassaway play. Her musicianship is of excellent quality. Besides being gifted with real talent, she has the ability to work hard, to profit from her fine training. For several years she has played with the Detroit Women's Symphony orchestra.

Joan's chair in the Band will not be easily filled next year.

"All work and no play" is not the motto of the clarinet quartet. Ann Pamie, Pat Booze, Bill Martin and John Kraft agree that their rehearsals are unique with more play than work. (And no pun is intended.)

The brass sextet presents a good cross section of the Band. This group played for the teachers' big Christmas party. The m e 11 o w strains of the beloved old carols came softly from the instruments, leading a background of traditional Christmas music for the affair. Members of the sextet were Ed Nordstrom, comet; Jerry Mills, comet; John Perkins, French horn; Bob Mange, tuba; Bob Owen , baritone; and Tom Masters, trombone.

The only chance that members of the choir had all year to wear their robes and line up without singing, they sang anyway, talting time out only long enough to smile when the picture was snapped.

Singing is, of course, the primary and best-loved business of the choir; but Mr. Ulrich manages also to have the course include some music theory, a bit of philosophy, and jam sessions-and, of cow-se, performances such as the Christmas assembly, variety shows, PTA Open House and the annual concert.

Behind The Scenes

Those voluminous choir robes cover a multitude of . . . strange apparel!

And none the wiser, say the girls. Here Corroll Middleton puts on her robe over a lacy slip; Gretchen Klein will event· ually cover her chic plaid slacks, and Jean Ruslander conceal her shorts. Evidently Sue Browne's nether garments are pedal pushers; but when she stands up in her high heels, the gown will be modestly closed.

Work is always followed by play when the choir sings at the Community House. Relaxing in the Ranch Room after a command performance are Jim MacDonald, Dick Morse, firn Leach, Marilyn Peters, Darlene Kopf, Bruce Gross and Bruce Kinney.

Trying out new records and pfaying them over and over is a most diverting way to spend a quiet moment of relaxation, especially if the records are chosen from the Record Comer's huge selection - and the welcome mat is always out at the Comer, buy or browse! Here Sue McDonald, Marilee Podlesak. Bob Stahl and Bob Terry play them all just once more.

SPORTS HHigher, Faster, Farther"

League

CAPTAIN TOM ROCKWELL Captain Tom Rockwell will be sadly missed next ye<:rr. Rock placed in every dual meet of the season, an enviable record. A great "talker-upper", he was also the morale booster of the team. His jokes and friendly wit helped make the outfit a spirited and winning one. He set a good example of hard work and incurable optimism.

ED HUBBARD Although Maple senior Ed Hubbard was hampered early in the season by a leg injury, he came through when he was needed most, finishing first in the Hamtramck meet and placing third against Hazel Park. In the Eastern Michigan League run, Ed ran a strong second for Birmingham and was third in the State regionals. In the State meet at Ypsilanti Ed was the only Maple runner in the race.

HOWARD JOHNSON Howard was a member of the cross country team in '52; but due to an attack of polio he was unable to run in '53. So he was regular reporter for the sport, extending his services to include student managership of the big state regionals run on the beautiful Birmingham course.

42

Champs COACH GEORGE PAPPAS

In his initial season Coach George Pappas moulded a motley group of boys with only three returning lettermen into a spirited well-balanced team that lost only two dual meets, copped the League title, and placed second in the class A state regional run.

Few coaches achieve such a record after long seasoning, to say nothing of their first year. And Coach Pappas has plenty of talent coming up next year.

The 1953 Captain Jerry Beck was honored with his election just before the first game of the season. Goodnatured and easy-going, he had plenty of ambition and determination. He ecnned a reserve letter at fullback as a sophomore and his junior and senior recognition at the tackle and guard spots. An early season injury hamp~red him a great deal, but he managed to get into every game. His opponents in the League will testify that Jeny's size didn't handicap him to spealc of and that they found him plenty rugged. Liked and respected by everyone, Jerry gave a good account of himself as a leader.

Gridders ln his seven years Coach Vincent Secontine ha.s done much to improve the calibre of Birmingham football. He knows the game thoroug hly from the pla yer·s point of view because he playe d in prep school and won his letter on one of the Uni• versity of Michigan's great teams. Cooch Seconline's remarkable powers os a disciplinarian ore evident on the football as well a.s in his g ym classes and his sludy boll. Birmingham considers itself extremely lucky lo have such an able coach.

Bill Watkinson, tow ering end, will captain the 1954 team.

He earned h is letter as o sophomore. A clean blocker, tough deiensive player, and talented kicker, Bill gave a good account of himsell in every game and w on a second Jetter. Ho is a natural leader, and his drive and d etermination should give his team the kind of captain it neds to go places.

Ap ps finds it hard to make much headway in tho Mt. Clemens ga me. a nd ii is doubtful If Wedge (77) and Thalacker (99) can get there in time.

Fullback Dave Allen g nashes his teeth in impotent rage as he is stopp ed just short oJ a first down against the Battling Bathers.

Drive and determination-those are qualities of Payson Chapman, who sparked the team all season from his right half position. He was a constant reminder that valuable goods often come in small packages.

Known as the Ox, Dick Thalacker was the biggest man on the team and gave a good account of himself at tackle. He played most of every game and was a durable workhorse.

Bill Hohmeyer wasn't the biggest center Birmingham ever had but he was one of the most rugged.

He earned his letter as a junior but didn't have much playing experience. However. he was in there all but four minutes his senior season.

Varsity

jerry Wedge was an able quarterback and the Maples' only triple threat man. His sensational play against Ferndale crowned his two years on the varsity team.

Chris "Glue Fingers" Christie served at right end.

He was a constant offensive threat and tied with Tom Beck for high scoring honors.

Howard Blake, hard-charging guard, went both ways and w as as able on defense as on offense.

What he lacked in size he made up in desire.

Season Review Beginning the season with an inexperienced but eager-to-learn grid squad, Coach Secontine and his able assistants shaped the team into a spirited aggregation that won four, lost four, and tied one.

The team's erratic play could be attributed to the fact that total playing experience before September was but 45 minutes for the entire squad; also there were numerous injuries to key players.

The Maples opened against neighboring Cran• brook, off their schedule for a dozen years, and won 19-12. Then in a stiff defensive battle they lost their first League game to Mt. Clemens 6-0. The next week the season's biggest home crowd turned out to watch the locals edge Ferndale 7-6 in a real thriller.

Next Hazel Park invaded Birmingham and earned a 13-0 victory. League tailender Eas1 Detroit escaped with a scoreless tie despite the Maples' huge offensive yardage. Sporting a 25-game victory string, Port Huron lived up to its reputation, crushing Birmingham 34-7 and dropping the Maples to a fourth place League standing. · On a frigid afternoon the Maples recovered their winning ways, humbling Waterford 14-6 there. To end the home season, the Maroons sank Berkley 19-7. In the Turkey Day tilt Birmingham was outplayed and outsmarted, Royal Oak tripping the Maples 28-0 to keep the Little Brown Jug. Starting the season and filling in at tackle, John Slocme proved his value to the team, giving it more depth at a position where it was sorely needed.

A rough and vicious guard, Dave Hamil came through in the clutch in the Waterford game to block the kick for conversion and preserve the Maple lead.

In The Starring Role Dubbed "Bump" by his teammates after the versatile Bumpy Jones of Michigan, Captain George Stinnett has been a leader both in the pool and out. He holds six swim records and well deserved the honor of captain of this year's squad. He w~s honored with the Goldsmith trophy for 1954.

Competing among themselves more than with anyone else, divers Terry Adlong, Dave Allen, Roger Hood and Jim Sturgess took the first three places at League. Allen placed fifth at state.

Off at the crack of the gun, Bruce Terry, Pete Hubert and Martin DeHaan perfect their start. They racked up many valuable points during the season and took three of the six places at League.

57 •

in the Starring Role Winning 11 of 12 dual meets and their sixth EML championship, the Birmingham swim team set many records. These included a League scoring record at Ferndale with 103 points, more than doubling the runner-up score, and three event records. Captain George Stinnett holds two League marks: the 100 yard breast stroke at 1:09.2 and the 150 yard individual medley at 1:47.5. The third was set by the 200 yard freestyle relay team of Dave Allen, Martin DeHaan, Bruce Terry and Jay Lewis in 1:44.9.

At Plymouth the Maples set four new pool records. Against Pontiac Russ Hibbard set a school record in the 200 yard freestyle at 2: 12.8. Back in the 100 yard freestyle against Mt. Clemens, Russ set a Bather pool mark at :57.

Against Port Huron the Maples made a nearperfect score, taking first and second in every event.

In his last prep race Tom Sheehan teamed with Stinnett and Hibbard to set a pool and school record of 1:24 in the 150 yard medley relay. Against Ml Clemens Hibbard also set a new pool and school mark in the 50 yard freestyle at :24.4. In the League meet, Birmingham qualified men in every event and took seven out of nine first places, sweeping the diving, with Roger Hood first, Dave Allen second. and sophomore Terry Adlong third.

Two days after the League meet the Maples met E. Grand Rapids, six times class B state champs, and came out second best, but Stinnett set a school record of 1:45.5 in the 150 yard individual medley.

Divers Hood and Allen took first and second.

Topping all performers this season was Russ Hibbard , holder of nine school, pool.

League and 20 yard pool records. "Arrowhead," and he is known to his teammates, was the mainsta y of the squad. He was defeated only twice this season, once by a disqualification at League and once when he finished second at the State meet just behind All-American Pete Van Haaren. An All-American in every sense of the word, his talent and leadership will be sorely missed by all next year.

II ,.

Maple backstrokers Dick Schwarz, Howard Knorr, Jim Taup and Bob Terry contributed their share of points during the season, three of them placing in the League finals at Ferndale.

The 200 yard freestyle relay team of Dave Allen, Bruce Terry, Martin De Ha an and Thor Halvorson experienced defeat only once during the dueil meet season. This quartet is holder of the school and League records in the event

Compiling a record of six straight Eastern Michigan League swim championships, Coach J. Jay Myers has set an enviable record as Maple swim mentor. Under his coaching, his teams rewrite pool, school and League records year after year. No wonder he is honored, respected and loved by his swimmers and envied by his opponents.

As a coach J. J. is great; as a true hiend, all-around good guy, and big brother to all, he is without an equal. Every boy on his team is given a chance to prove himself. All receive equal attention whether reserves or champions.

TJte boy who does "the big thing" and joins a Myers team learns many things under one of the finest in the swimming business or any

business.

Another well-filled event, the 200 yard freestyle, boasts the League's best. Frank Mably, John Sloane, Doug Lewis and Jay Lewis took four of the six places in the 1954 finals, including the championship.

Holders of the 150 yard medley relay pool and school records at 1:24.0 (.2 of a second faster than 1953 AllAmerican time) George Stinnett, Tom Sheehan and Russ Hibbard have a pep talk before a time trial at Barnum pool.

As host to the Eastern Michigan League Conference last fall, Birmingham High School played an important part in making this one of the most successful meeting of the Conference. Wally Weber, "Wizard of Words", spoke at the luncheon: and the annual project competition was planned.

Jim Ballard waits patiently for his doughnut and cocoa as Cherry Harris pours.

Seriousness of purpose and a smiling response to their call to duty characterized the officers of the first semester Congress who handled the big Mixer, Field Day and the EML Conference. Seated are Janice Cooper, secretary; and John Hubert, president; standing - Bill Hohmeyer, vice-president; Mary Goode, secretary of the Senate; Thor Halvorson, treasurer.

Students Govern Milling and mixing, matching and mobbing - fresh· men, soph<;>mores, juniors and seniors - teachers and the brass - everybody got together for one hilarious get-acquainted evening early last September. Our new Student Congress did right well by us! Here's just a random sample of the huge milling crowd, more than 1200 strong.

Leading Student Congress for the second semester are Ann McDonald, secretary; and Larry Girard, treasurer; Howard Johnson, vicepresident; Bill Dove, first junior to serve as president; and Joan Gassaway, secretary of the Senate.

This year there has been considerable difference of opinion as to whether our school needs a bi• camera! Student Congress. While the House represents the home• rooms, the S e n a t e represents classes and organizations. Leading the Senate the second semester is Howard Johnson .

School Wisely Doug Austin serves himself at Sfire's, wheeling out just a few of the numerous cases of coke stashed a wa y for the coke session which followed the Invitational Press Conference.

The second semester House had its iriumphs, too. It planned and carried out Civic Control Day, the money-maker da nce Spring Fever, and the big spring dance, to s ay nothing of carrying on with the stude nt-government p rojects that were initiated by the first semester Congress.

Capital Bound

Spic and span, these Capital Bound editors don't look as if they'd ever seen a: dirty ol' mimeographbut they did see plenty of 'em! But the Big Trip was worth all it cost in preparation as well as money. Joan Fairbairn led off with the Washington issue, followed by Dorothy Ojala with the New York and Mortin DeHoo:n with the Virginia: Peninsula numbers. The Captial Bounds were big ones this year, some topping 40 pages!

Lummy sticks, an old Inclian rhythm game, is revived for the Washington group variety show by Dick Geggie, Bill Surridge, Gaity Barr, and Chuck F.rickson.

The Maple cheerleaders are something special- and so are their maroon and w bite unifonns, quite different from "the usual". The suits are kept neat and white throughout the seerson by frequent trips to Wesch Cleaners. The girls earn some of the money for the cleaning bill by selling jug tags for the Turkey Day game.

Front row - Trudy McKewen, Ann Shenefield, Judy Boyd, Nancy Yarnall, Betty Quillian; back row-Alice Richards, Ann McDonald, Shirley Dusbeiber, Pat Booze, Mciry Bachman, and Cherry Hanis.

Serious n' Silly!

Some of the almost unlimited opportunities for a college education me explored by a few of the Birmingham students who were interviewed as applicants for the Regents-Alumni scholarships. A committee of University of Michigan alumnae take care of the interviews which follow the academic and aptitude tests. Joan Fairbairn, Dorothy Ojala and Burt Hutchings meet their appointment with alumnae Mrs. Host, Mrs. Christianson, and Mrs. Davis.

Too gay and excited to sleep, these gals in their feminine furbelows rmd colorful night numbers from the Glassford Shop are just nicely launched on a typical slumber party. The party has everything but slumber, with accent and interest on the wearing apparel!

In on the deal are Helen Colwell, Nancy Clark. Peggy Paige. Nina Slawson, Judy Collins, Pat Nyberg, Carol Negri.

These feet are fittingly attired for their march in the Commencement processional in shoes from Burr's, best for fit, comfort, easy walk and posture.

That line of march is long - from the Maple Room to the gym- with cameras clicking and movies grinding. Grace and poise with the right shoes make the graduate more self-possessed.

Promise and Proscenium There's no giH that's more welcome than jewelry, especially if it's an ID bracelet or watch from Lake's.

They are also first choice as graduation gifts. Claire Jacobs admires the beautiful ID bracelet that ad manager Dick Perry is d emonstrating for her.

One of the most popular and populous clubs in school is Proscenium. Sponsored by "Uncle Dean" and "Aunt Winnie" Coffin and "Aunt Alice" Tabor, its members work hard at e ntertaining themselves at riotous club m eetings and the public with dramatic productions. This year the club tried some• thing new, putting on "Daniel Boone" for the Chil• dren's Theatre of Detroit.

This n' That Miss Khoury is completely baffled by the problem that presents itself. School's out, spring beckons - but she is definitely grounded - till she remembers to call nearby Bitterle's Service, just up the road a piece. Her problem is soon solved, and she's on her merry way once more.

BHS students rush the lunch counter of Mills Phannacy on that 30 minute lunch "hour". Here they make their wants known in no uncertain terms as they gang up on waiter and waitresses.

Identifiable are Tom K' Burg, behind the counter; Terry Laundry, Doug Green, and Dave Andreae, the latter with paddle.

One of the most popular and worthwhile organizations in school is the always active Assembly Club.

It is of great service to the school, providing educational and entertaµiing assemblies - and selling candy every

day.

Field Day and

Competition among classes is tense and keen when supremacy is to be decided on Field Day. Six-foot-three Bruce Terry tries to fold his long lean length into a streamlined angle that will help him bring his threewheeler under the wire first for the senior class. (He did!)

The egg-throw can be a tragic yolk on somebody if the gal or guy on the receiving end catches the hen fruit in a mailed fist! Sally Kelly and Sally Sharp hope the yolk won't be on them.

Picture of defeat! The aim was good but the distance just too great and the catcher just a whisper too eager.

Wielding the cleanup cloth is Swiss mountain climber, senior Kathy Moynahan.

The Variety Show

'Tm Gonta Wash That Man Right Out o' My Hair" kept Wilson's drug store just about sold out

of shaving cream, what with rehearsals, the Variety Show and the exchange assembly all signing up the popular act. This trio of Barb Aikens, Carol Klein and Nancy Carlisle are just a small sample of the 40 or so girls in the big acl Dave Anderson's lasso act in the Variety Show was perhaps the most finished performance in the 58 acts, to say nothing of being the only one of its kind ever put on in a local show. Dave learned to twirl the lasso Out West. II he's not a "rootin' tootin' shootin' cowboy", he's at least a very good imitation. l I

John Hayes as a monk with his faithful St. Bernard exemplifies the attention to detail that marked the seniors' impressive first-place-winning parade that initiated Field Day '53.

All Roads Lead to

Birmingham has become a commutors' school. Probably every known method locomotion is used to get to school and home again.

A fleet of school and public buses plies the city streets and country roads. Some 250 private cars of varying age and sta1es of decrepitude or newness, all jammed to the doors with teen-age freight, occupy the parking lot. The makes range from Model T to Cadillac station wagon - and last year even a hearse! Also there are those who walk. share-the-ride, or pedal-push.

"Going my way, Mister?" Jim Taup and Pat Marshall try rule o' thumb as a method of getting to school without too much exertion.

Hitch-hiking is frowned upon by parents and police, but the boys are not alone in their efforts when the buzzer sounds at three o'clock.

Many students are caught in the mad scramble to get from D building to lockers and thence to the buses in front of school and homeward bound. But a hasty few minutes' rush beats a long walk home. Now that the Birmingham school district for high school students is seven miles long, a large proportion of the kids use the buses. Pictured are just a tew ot the many tha1 hesitate in front of school every afternoon, load swiftly and pull out - with or without everyone who counted on a ride.

The parking lot was "something new" last year and proved to be a major problem, with some drivers making up the rules as they went along, but Student Congress has the situation under control, and the lot is both convenient and safe.

Many boys get from here to there on bi, cycles, a few dozen of which are parked beside the gym every day. Jim Yeomans selects his bike to pedal home. He and the other twowheelers depend on the Birmingham Bike Shop to keep their "transportation" in excellent repair and to be ready with replacements when they are needed.

A school is a community with common interests, aims and problems. To meet the interests, achieve the aims, and solve the problems requires the meeting of many minds.

When honors come, they are but recognition of a status already attained; the honor only crowns the achievement.

Mr. Moneybags

...

, J_,,..,,,,,.

,

Whenever a serious, hard-working, capable person is wanted for a job, large or small, Thor Halvorson is the man for it. Here is a perfect example of the well-rounded individual. A quiet modest redhead who instills confidence in everyone, Thor is a leader in every sense of the word.

He has served as treasurer and parliamentarian in Student Congress, as well as general chairman of a well-organized and highly successful Field Day. "Mr. Moneybags" was also treasurer of Varsity Chili and his social club KST. A more competent and accurate treasurer would be hard to find.

That Thor is an able organizer was attested not only by Field Day but also by his service as general chainnan of that brilliant triumph, the J-Hop.

-··

This year he was president of the Washington Group and did a tremendous job. He was a member of Proscenium and Assembly Club and served as a City Commissioner for Civic Control Day. As a junior he was vice-president of his class.

An able student, Thor was elected to National Honor Society in his junior year. Scholastically he stands in the top five per cent of his class and at the end of the junior year was the second ranking

boy.

Thor's other activities range from service as president of St. Andrew's Guild at Christ Church Cranbrook to earning two varsity letters in swimming and managing the track team two years.

One of the busiest men in school, Thor is a great guy with all the attributes for a real Who's Who.

116

Miss Personality

What are the qualities that add up to a Who's Who? If it's leadership, the girl with the pompoms has certainly shown by her outstanding job as Pep Club president that she has this quality in no small proportion. Organizing pre-game publicity and after-game dances and stimulating school spirit at home contests show that her leadership extends beyond small groups.

If it's service . . . name an activity in which girls have a part and Nancy's in it, one of the most energetic and enthusiastic of workers. Many responsibilities in service have fallen to Nancy's hands: Treasurer of her junior class, member of

Assembly Club, vice-president of GAA, treasurer of her social club - to name just a few. Her active interest in student government was shown by her participation in Student Congress three semesters.

If it's personality . . . Nan is the girl who has won a place in the hearts of all. Who can forget her winning smile and hiendly hello? Her sparkling eyes and sense of humor reveal her bubbling vitality and radiant personality, which combines charm, understanding and sincerity. Everybody's mend and ever willing to accept another job, wonderful, sincere person th.at she is - Nan is a genuine Who's Who.

Mr. President

Day, Congress representative four semesters, active membership in the Varsity Club, and letterman on the varsity basketball team two seasons.

For his brilliant record in his junior year he was chosen to attend Wolverine Boys' State and to be recipient of the Harvard University Book Award.

Needless to say John will be long remembered for his hard work and his sincere effort to get a big job well done. A fine leader who automatically commands the respect of others, Hubes is top choice for Who's Who. Here he is proud to pose with the giant trophy presented by the Eastern Michigan Conference to the member Congress which sponsored the most worthwhile project for the current year - and won by Birmingham for its student supervision program.

John Hubert is a man of many and varied talents.

His friendly smile and confidence-winning personality plus his sound leadership have taken him to the highest offices the school can bestow.

As president of the Student Congress and the Eastern Michigan Conference, John showed that he is a reliable, qualified and often inspiring leader.

Under his successor, John has been a co-operative, helpful citizen.

Few people in Birmingham High School have participated in so many and diversified fields of interest. As a student, John has a strong B average; he was elected to the National Honor Society in his junior year. Among his activities to which he gives serious time and interest are membership in Assembly Club, mayor of Birmingham on Civic Control

119

What a Combination!

For those who still believe the old theory that brains are not usually successfully combined with beauty, Ann McDonald is a living contradiction.

Ann can be called the perfect example of a wellrounded personality with her qualities of leadership and scholarship and her talent for making and keeping friends.

She has shown herself to be a leader in so many ways:-- as secretary of her junior class, secretary of Student Congress, cheerleader for three years, president of her social club, decoration chairman of the J-Hop, winner of the DAR award- the list could go on and on.

And after all, isn't being a member of National Honor Society enough proof of her scholastic stand-

ing? As far as making friends goes, everyone who comes in contact with Ann's radiant smile and wann personality agrees that she has a positive talent for winning friends and influencing people.

She attacks everything she does with an infectious enthusiasm and the spirit to get the job done and done well, succeeding every time. The originator of clever and creative ideas as shown by last year's J-Hop decorations and her Congress campaign this year, Ann has rightfully capitalized on this ability to aid her in her many activities.

Looking for an honor student, a good leader and willing worker, a sincere friend? Seek no further.

Ask Ann McDonald.

Senior Leader

to Birmingham high school in the tenth grade. He is also president of his homeroom.

As captain of the golf team, Terry should lead the linkers to a successful season. He has been a member of the team for three years.

It isn't hard to find Terry in the hall. Just track down what sounds like a rhinocerous' bellow and there he will be.

He was president and secretary of his social chili and a very active honorary member of Varsity club.

Among his many successful accomplishments Terry includes a hole-in-one that he made last summer.

Walking at the head of the 1954 graduating class will be a genial young man who well deserves the honor of his selection to Who's Who. Politician, class leader, or all-around good guy, just name it! And Terry Laundry personifies it.

As campaign manager and candidate in numerous elections, he evidenced his interest in school affairs, winning the presidency of the senior class and vice-presidency of Assembly club. He was elected justice of the peace in the 1954 Civic Control Day elections and in his junior year was appointed parliamentarian of Student Congress of which he has been a member every semester since coming

Johnson Memoria I Award Winner

Known mainly for his swimming prowess, Russ Hibbard achieved the highest honor Binningham High School offers, the Johnson Memorial Award.

This honor is based on excellence in scholarship and athletics, and Russ qualifies in both categories.

In three years he earned six letters, three eacl\ in swimming and track.

In swimming Russ has the honor of being unbeaten in dual meet competition for two straight years, an enviable record. But this long string of wins was no pushover, as the record books show; for Russ broke nine pool and school records in the process.

He is holder of the pool and school records in the 50 and 100 yard freestyle and a top contender for All-American honors in both events. He set a new record in the 200 yard freestyle and swam anchor on the 200 yard freestyle relay quartet, holder of pooL school and League marks. To top off his 1954 perfonnance, he swam the freestyle

leg on the medley relay trio which not only shattered pool and school records but is also eligible for All-American honors with a time of 1:24.0.

In track Russ is a highjumper and hurdler, a consistent point-getter in both. He has maintained a scholastic average of 3.22 or B for three years in a college prep course. Russ is also a socially welladjusted boy; he is popular in school activities.

He has served as treasurer of the Varsity Club and is a member of FHS social club. He has served as president of Scribblers. his homeroom, and his church group. The thunderous applause when Coach Myers announced the selection of Russ as Johnson Memorial Award winner for 1954 proved that he was a popular choice.

In the picture Russ looks over the pool site in the new high school and wonders when there will really be a pool there, giving the team advantages which many of the state's top teams enjoy.

ANYTHING LESS IS

YEST ERDAY'S CAR! There's good reason why: it has the most powerful engine you'll find in any car ... the Chrysler FirePower V-8. It's NUMBER ONE in America at 235 horsepower.

What's more, Chrysler offers instant obedience you'll be crazy about . . . instant because you command today's most automatic and most powerful transmission, POWERFLITE. You're the leader with Chrysler's NUMBER ONE full-time power steering and brakes ... and with 30 important features more advanced than its nearest fine car rival.

We hope you'll drive the '54 Chrysler soon, so that you' ll say too . .. anything less is yesterday' s car.
