Brotherhood Week, scheduled
for Feb. 20 to 27, will get off to
an early start in the three school
districts of the South Oakland
County area which comprise. the
Suburban Community.
The Oak Park, Ferndale and
Berkley Districts each have
scheduled many events for chil-
dren, such as assemblies and dis-
plays, and are carrying the
project further by planning ex-
tensive adult activities, mostly
among the Parent Teachers As-
sociation groups.

In Oak Park, a new teen club
has been organized.. The first
activity is a dance which will be
held. Saturday night, at the
Francis Scott Key school. This is
just one in a series of dances,
parties and other social activi-
ties to come.
The price ,of membership is 50
cents a year, and has been lim-
ited to the students of Oak Park
High and their guests. Judy
6othelf„ David Gross, Barbara
Kole and Gary Tynm are mem-
bers of the planning committee.

The "Acorn" staff, of Royal
Oak High, is working hard to
publish its first edition of the
new semester. Eight issues are
expected to be put out with the
first circulation on Feb. 18.
Becky. Mosen, Joanie Kaatz,
Barney Collier and Sarah Wein-
er are among the staff members.
* * *
The Berkley High paper, "The
spectator," has recruited mem-
bers of last semester's journal-
ism I class for different posts on
the staff. The editorship will
rotate, giving all seniors gradu-
ating in June a chance for the
position.
At present Herb Sosnick is the"
boys' sports editor; Ricky Schil-
ler is circulation manager, and
Judy Stutz is assistant make-up
editor. The present journalism I
class, which includes Nancy
Cohen and Ron Onkin, is work-
ing behind the scenes contribu-
ting many different features.
The extent of the planning
indicates that Brotherhood in
the suburbs is approaching the
real idea behind Brotherhood
Week—that is. the observance
of brotherhood throughout the
year.
A brotherhood panel has been
formed in the Ferndale School
District. Composed of 7th and
8th graders of the three major
religions and various racial
groups, this panel will start its
rounds of all Ferndale schools
beginning with Brother hood
Week.
The panel will continue its
work throughout - the entire
school year, going from school
to school and speaking at as-
semblies. Each member will
speak on the history or beliefs
o_f his racial or religious group.
The Week was officially
launched by the Ferndale dis-
trict yesterday when the Girls'
Basketball Championship game
was held. The teams, made. up
of girls who starred for their
various schools, played before an
enthusiastic crowd. The event
marked the culmination of the
girls' sports program, and was
dedicated to Brotherhood Week.
Although the Oak Park
Bnai David Raises 39 Percent
of Building Goal at Loyalty Dinner
schools, because of their new-
ness, have few facilities avail-
able to them, Brotherhood
projects on a large scale are
impossible. However, an adult
human relations program will
be launched during Brother-
hood Week.
Clifton Eldridge, director of
adult education in Oak Park,
stated this week that the
series: "It Takes a Heap of Liv-
ing,” will begin at 8 p.m., Feb.
21, at the Francis Scott Key
School, Rosemary near Moritz.
The first lecturer will be Dr.
Marion Edman, professor of ed-
ucation at Wayne University.
Among the speakers for the
eight-week series will be Dr.
Morton Sobel. ADL Regional di-
rector; Dr. Rosemary Lippitt, of
Ann- Arbor; and Dr. Robert
Frehse, director of the Detroit
Round Table.
The Berkley District started
its Brotherhood Week plans with
a special assembly on Tuesday,
at which Rabbi Jerome Folkman.
of Columbus, 0., was guest
speaker. • Rabbi •Folkman also
addressed an adult assembly at
the high school in the evening.
Much of the work during
Brotherhood Week is being
carried out by the PTA, which
is promoting attendance
among its members for the
Border Cities Conference of
the Round Table of Christians
and Jews on Thursday. It will
be an all-day series of meet-
ings and discussions.
