1954 Piper Yearbook

Trai ning Ski 11s

Bill Wedge shows Pete Mosh er the safe way to operate one of the huge s aw s in the completely equipped modem shop. A full program of shop co urses 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 n d in general keep themselves and many of the teachers on wheels. Ed Offer, Bob Plasko, Steve Wist and Dave Goad assemble a motor.

Practical Arts

For the first time in many years, the high school cou ld accommodate an adult education program. Now strangers as w ell 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 l earn the right way to tackle those jobs around the home. It's a nice thing to know how to fix that leaky fauce t 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.

Applied Arts

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

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.

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.

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 hug e signs for the Piper sales campaign.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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!

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 leav e all their baking to the professionals - who do it better anyway.

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.

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 up town. 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.

And Jobs

Thursdays and Fridays are bake sale days for the re tailing students. They don't mind the extra time in the kitchen because proceeds go towards iaking their bosses to a big d inner at the end of the year. Barbara Seward, Barbara HatPer, Barbara Bensinger, Shirl eyan ShatPe,

When the new Kresge's store opened on its busy corner right in the holiday season, it took a lot of Birmingham kids to help man the chiming cash registers. Among others who had jobs in this most modem store were:

Laboratory Science s

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 stude nts 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.

An d Thi s 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 to w ard floriculture. Roger Cudini. Joan Cummings, Dick Sheldon

The lunch bell holds no appeal for Marion Dombrowski, Lynn Finke and Norma Alexander after spending the morning with pickled .trogs.

No need to lose any sleep over our relations with Latin America if every high school in the USA has an up-and-coming Spanish Club like the one pictured here!

Educationa l

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

An innovation i n methods of electing class officers was introduced this year. As a chance at democr acy in action, the civics classes are given the opportunity to manage these elections. Bill Martin records results of the senior balloting as returns are tabu l ated 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 w ill earn paychecks in th e 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 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.

The Highlande r Is

Jan McColl was editor-in-chief of the first-place winning Highlander both semesters this year, the only s taff 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 plann e d.

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

At Work and Pla y

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 ho t quart bucke ts of "the best" and repaired with sales and editorial staff to th e 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.

W i th 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 th e 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 copyanything 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.

Music , Maestros

One of the Bo nd 's b est soloi sts this year is John Boulton on the flute. His first division roting at the s olo and ensemble festival for y e ars is recognition of hi s exceptional musical ability. Like that of th e oth e r soloists, his ability is proved by his notable performance in ensembles and on his own.

Th e popular dance band v e ry much in demand is Dave Andrea e and h is Six Teeners The sweet refrains of Tom Rockw e ll , guitar ; Bob G o ldsmith, drums; Brod Smith, s axophon e ; To m M asters, trombone; Dave at the piano; and Sharon Stanton, voc alist , a r e heard at many school dances, not only locally but for miles around. Decorative Sharon and her vivacious pers ona lity l e nd 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."

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.

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.

Strike Up

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 b e st prep bands settles down to producing harmonious, ear-s oothing music. First division ratings at the band festival and the superior conc e rt demonstrate its quality. The m e mbers' sound musicianship is also attested by superior rating at the solo and ensemble fe s tival

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.

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 , bariton e; and Tom Masters, trombone.

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 Maple Choir

The only chance tha t 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 C orroll Middleton puts on her robe over a lacy slip; Gretchen Klein will event· ually cover her chic plaid slacks, and Jean Ruslander co nceal her shorts Evidently Sue Browne's nether garments are pedal pushers; but when she stands up in her high h eels, the gown will be modestly closed

Work is always followed by play when th e cho ir sings at the Community House. Re l axing 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.

In The Air

The Maple Four is a Birmingham institution, starting 'way back in Barn• urn. They hav e sung for every sort of occasion - solemn and sad, gay and g lad.

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.

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 re serve letter at fullback as a sophomore and his junior and senior recognition at the tackle and guard spot s. An early season injury hamp~red him a great deal, but he managed to get in to 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.

Senio r

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 h imself at tackle. He p layed 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 exp e rience. However. he was in the re 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 b ut e ager-to-learn grid squad, Coach Secontine and h is able assistants shaped the team into a spirite d aggregation that won four, lost four, and tied one. The team's erratic play could be attributed to the fac t 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 C ran• brook, off their schedule for a dozen years, and won 19-12. Then in a stiff defensive battle they los t 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 esc aped 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 ou tplayed and outsmarted, Royal Oak tripping the Maples 28-0 to keep the Little Brown Jug

Starting the season and filling in at tackl e, John Slocme proved his value to the team, giving it more d e pth at a position where i t w as sorel y needed.

A rough and vicious guard , Dave Hamil came through in the clutch in the Waterford game to block the kick fo r con ve rsion and preserve t he Maple lead.

BOB APPLEFORD

Captain Bob Appleford proved h is value both as player and leader in the '53 tennis season. He and Jerry Florez were a duo hard to stop, winning League and regionals doubles crowns and staying in till the semilinals at State.

The 1953 tennis squad was the usual championship ne t team. Losing to Mt. Clemens and powerful Cranbrook twice during the dual meet season, the Maples won all others on their schedule

In The St arring Role

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

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.

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.

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.

In the Waterford finale Hibbard set a new 100 yard freestyle record of :54.2, and Allen , Terry, DeHaan and Hibbard swcon the 200-yard freestyle relay in 1:41.8 to set er pool record.

In the State m eet at Ann Arbor the Maroons qualified five and took seventh place in a field of 26 teams. Stinnett swam the 100 yard breast stroke in 1:06.3, a new school record.

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.

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.

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.

It's Friday - and Varsity lettermen's day. Those sparkling white captain's sweaters are the envy of the proletariat; for only captains wear the white letter sweaters, and to keep them new and casual takes frequent trips to Douglas Cleaners.

The Varsity Club was big and active all year. Thei r project turned out to be a gold mine, and the Club is the "richest" outfit in school. The goal? It's a n e w Hall of Fame for the hall of D Building. They'll make it, don' t worry!

And Competition

Although GAA is partly supported by the activity ticket, such things as award banquets, camp trips, playdays and trophies make an enormous dent in the budget. To help finance extra activities, GAA members sold Birmingham beanies at the home basketball games. Here star salesman Carole Cowgill offers her wares for sale

The executive board of GAA consists of Jean Sullivan, historian; Marilyn Peters, president; Alice Basford, intramural manager: standing - Miss Jeanette Scoville, adviser; Adele Toepfer, treasurer; Carolyn Greve, vice-president; Mary Michelson, secretary; and Miss Sally Reid, adviser. This group is responsible £or planning and organizing all GA A activities. However, their jobs also include s u ch enjoyable features as the Eastern Michigan League officers' campout and riotous bi-weekly board meetings.

Backboard practice "behind the iron curtain" in the gym may not be the best of entertainment, but Nancy Yarnall and Ginny Penrose find that it improves their play.

Both catching and sliding are highly specialized skills. Doreen Lovejoy and Margaret Seyferth brush up for the intramural games and those spring playdays.

Lucky indeed are the members of GAA who practice the kegler's art in the beauti• ful and capacious Birmingham Bowling Alleys. Brand new and modem as tomorrow, the Birmingham is the finest place to bowl anywhere around Detroit. Mamie Wesch and Dorothy Rossman try their skill.

The Captial Bounds were big ones this year, some topping 40 pages!

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.

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 Pr oscen ium

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 e monstrating for her.

One of the most popular and populous clubs in school is Proscenium. Sponsored by "Uncle Dean" and "Aun t Winnie" Coffin and "Aunt Alice" Tabor, its members work hard at e ntertaining themselves at riotous club m e etings 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 schoo l 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 kee n 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 O u t o' My Hair" kept Wilson's drug s tore just about sold o ut o f 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 s ay n othing of being the only one of its kind ever put o n 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.

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 th ree o'clock.

Many students are caught in th e mad scramble to get from D building to lockers and thence to the buses in front of schoo l 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.

Birmingham High School

The parking lot was "something new" last year and proved to be a major problem, with some drivers making up the rules as they wen t 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.

J.

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.

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.

Mr. Moneybags

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.

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, s incere person th.at she is - Nan is a genuine Who's Who.

Cheerleader, senior class secretary, feature editor of the Highlander highlightCherry's long list of school activities.

She is president of her church group and active in its young people's work. She was chosen to deliver the sermon in the Easter Sunrise Service on the Washington trip.

Here is the redhead who is just naturally activityminded, with the radiant smile indicative of her friendly personality.

Always busy at something, Cherry neveY regrets a job nor its complications; and strangely enough, the job seemed to work out for the best all the way around.

Doin' What Comes Naturally

Friendly as a cocker puppy a n d as good-natured, Cherry is always ready with a helping hand. Her future as a nurse seems success-assured, though her combination of leadership, conversational and musical ability would equip her for ahnost any profession.

Cherry served in the UN a ss embly at Hill sd a le with the group from her school, represen ting the United States and doing it most creditabl y .

When Cherry won election to Who's Who, she was just "doin' what comes naturally".

Mr. President

John Hubert is a man of many and varied talents. His friendly smile and confidence-winning personality plus his sound leadership have taken h im 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

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

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-

What a Combination!

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

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

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.

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

Johnson Memoria I Award Winner

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 Varsit y 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.

Quill and Scroll
