Graduating Senior Speaks Up for His School

Carrying forward the Beth Yehudah Phi Beta Kappa tradition
at Wayne State University are (from left) Ruthy Shaye, Florine
(Rabinowitz) Sperka and Samuel Zentman, who were among 58
Wayne graduates elected to Phi Beta Kappa. No other single high
school had as many of its students elected to Phi Beta Kappa. On
hand to see the honor students congratulated by retiring President
Clarence Hilberry were civic leader Irwin I. Cohn and former
Schools President Dan Lavers. Carrying on the tradition, seven mem-
bers of the Schools' 21-member high school graduating class were
elected to high school Phi Beta Kappa.

THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
30—Friday, June 11, 1965

BY LARRY DEITCH
As I approach the last 10 days
of my high school career at Mum-
ford it now seems to be an oppor-
tune moment to discuss the state
of my school. Mumford was opened
16 years ago to accommodate the
burgeoning population of Detroit's
northwest area. Quickly, the school
moved to the academic pinnacle
of Michigan high schools. This
rapid rise was due to a combina-
tion of factors,
including a fineR
faculty, curricu •
lum, and an out-
standing student
body. Mumford
students went on
to win many
scholarships and
awards and bring
credit and hon-
o rto our commu-
nity. Deitch
Today, the Mumford school .dis-
trict is undergoing a crucial, tran-
sitional period of neighborhood in-
tegration. Rumors are running ram-
pant throughout the area that the
quality of education at the high
school has declined. Daily, people
approach me with such specious
statements as, ". . . Aren't you
afraid to walk the halls of Mum-
ford?" or " . . . Aren't all the
good teachers leaving?" or " . . . I
hear the education at Mumford
isn't what it used to be."
Such rumors are largely base-
less and must be quickly dispell-
ed. It is true that the percen-
tage of Negro students at Mum-
ford has increased, but this does
not preclude a proportionate de-
_ crease in the quality of educa-
tion! Mumford is still an excel-
lent school and can remain so
with community cooperation.
From our graduating class of
June 1965, over 150 of the seniors
will attend the University of Mich-
igan next year. This is the largest
group sent to the university by any
high school in the United States.
Other 1965 graduates will attend
such outstanding colleges as Har-
vard, Columbia, Brandeis, Barnard,
Antioch, Swarthmore, Vassar, Ober-
lin and others. The total percen-
tage of Mumford graduates who
will enter college next year will
exceed 85 per cent. This is cer-
tainly among the highest percen-
tages of any Michigan high school.
These graduates have been ex- -
cellently prepared for college by
outstanding instruction and inten-
sive courses such as those offered
in the high ability Science and
Arts curriculum. In addition to
academic excellence, the school of-
fers a wide range of extracurricu-
lar activities.
A determined and capable
neighborhood group, The Mum-
ford Action Program, is now at
work to preserve Mumford's edu-
cational excellence. The Science
and Arts curriculum for gifted
students will be continued. Spe-
cial programs will be instituted
to improve existing academic
procedures.

In addition, the school will func-
tion as a community center to serve
the need of the district's residents.
But, in order for these projects
to succeed, they will need commu-
nity support. Robert Alpern, chair-
man of MAP, recently stated that,

"In every big city, integration of
the schools has unfortunately been
only an intermediate step between
segregation and re-segregation."
We, in the Mumford area, have the
opportunity to prove that integra-
tion does not have to mean the
end of good education.
