Mumford is having real grow-
l:1g pains. Last week everyone
wrote exams to the beat of the
sledge hammer as the workmen
tore down the walls of three ad-
joining rooms to make a study
hall for the expected group of
new students. T h e Board of
Education announced that an
auditorium will be started in
July and will be completed by
September, 1952. Tennis courts
are to be installed at the' cor-
ner of Santa Clara and Wyo-
ming and a girls' hockey field
will be placed at Thatcher and
Wyoming: If building continues
at the proprosed rate, the first
graduating class will graduate
from a completed school,
The purchase' of n e w sheet
music will be the object of the
music department's program
next Thursday. Featured on the
program will be several numbers
sung by the chorus. The band
and orchestra will render selec-
tions. Russ Gotberg will play the
solo "My Regards" on the clari-
net.

Durfee

Intermediate

Not too long ago Durfee's car-
dinal event of the season took
place. As Mr. Erwin Kioko, in-
structor of instrumental music
Durfee, brought his baton
down on the opening notes of
the "Andante" by Haydn, the
Durfee Spring Music Festival
was inau g urated.
Among the members of the
Durfee orchestra, brass quar-
tet, and concert band who took
part were Jerry Kazdan, Marvin
Klein, Marilyn Warner, Marcia
Silber, Roslynne Ma yer and
Dave Gelfand. A group of Dur-
feeites clad in evening dress
participated in a lovely spec-
tacle of ballroom dancing.

As the feather is a symbol of
social status among the various
Indian tribes in America, so is
it - the symbol of high scholastic
attainment among Durfeeites.
On specific days of • the term,
selected students of Durfee at-
tend classes toting feathers in
their caps. These feathers are
a • traditional thing at Durfee;
their purpose being to indicate
which students are Vic tor s,
members of the honorary so-:
ciety of the school.
In order to become Victors,
students must maintain a B plus
average in their eighth and
ninth grade studies.
This year 21 9As achieved the
goal that so many students
strive for. Yes, the graduating
class of 1951 produced 21 Vic-
tors.
Participating in competitions
is becoming quite a fad at Dur-
fee. Besides the much public-
ized victory of Bev Simon in the
Detroit spelling bee, we have
vivacious Elaine Stein who re-

Distressed looks have been.re-
placed by looks of relief since
semi-finals ended Tuesday. For
the past three days the school
has been back to normal, but
there is an undercurrent surge
of excitement as the semester
draws to a close.

The Voices of six Centralites,
Judy Sperka, Judy Silverman,
Margot Staub, Iry Fuller, Wally
Handler, and D o n Kadushin,
were heard on the weekly "Youth
Looks at Youth" program over
WWJ last week. The topic for
discussion was, "How Do You
Decide on a Career."
Central's 25th birthday con-
cert, held at Music Hall last
Friday, was a big success. De-
spite th-e transportation strike, a
large number of Centralites,
along with students from other
high schools, showed up to help
celebrate • the joyous occasion.
The concert was planned and
conducted by Dr. Harry W. Seitz
head of Central's music depart-
ment. Also seen on the conduc-
tor's stand were Percy Grainger,
guest conductor, and four Cen-
tral alumni, Straucy Edwards,
William Koerper, Hulda Martin,
and Preston Wells. Centralites
who appeared in solos were: Ce-
cile Kasmer, Albert Kee, Stan
Pasikov, Larry Frohman and
Sylvia Deutlemann. Another
highlight of the program was
the original compositions by Mr.
and Mrs. Percy Grainger.

Centralite Dick Gregory com-
peted successfully against 300
dancers for a role in the "City
of Freedom," Detroit's 250th
birthday show to be presented
at the University of Detroit Sta-
dium, July 13 to 23. Dick is both
a ballet and impressionistic dan-
cer and he was formerly a mem-
ber of the Jack Gansert Ex-
perimental Dance Group.
Centrals Gym Dept. is offering
two new courses as part of its
curriculum. Modern dancing, for
girls, and a co-education class,
featuring square dancing, will
be initiated in September.

Central's Senior Prom, the
big dance of the year, will be

held in the Crystal Ballroom
• of the Masonic Temple Satur-
day. Guys and gals will dance
to the delightful music of Don
Berry and his orchestra.
All activities were wound up
this week, lockers were given
a final cleaning as school
neared its close, final plans
made for s u 77Z 77i e r school,
camp, trips, jobs, or just loaf-
ing. Here's hoping you all have

a very pleasant summer va-
cation, what ever you do. See

you in September.
