Adviser Rec·eives Fellowship · Staffers on "The Arrow Head" are proud. to an­

nounce that Hie journalism adviser of our paper, Miss Vernita Knight has received a fellowship from "The Wall , Street Journal.''

MiSs Knight will study at the University of Colorado this summer, participating in a program intended to stim­ulate more interest in journalism as a career.

"Arrow Head" staffers are always aware of the qualities that are honored in this award. As reporters and editors bustle around 301A, we are alWl;!:YS sure that any question, whether it relates to the propriety of a headline, a grammatical point, or the spelling of "Kaleid­oscope," will be sw.iftly answered by <;:mr •adviser, who re­mains the court of last resort on all such problems.

Miss Knight's guaranteed presence is most-welcome on deadline nights when tension mounts to the point where we are wiJ}ing to put the m o s t esoteric words in the headlines, just so long as they fit. ·

At this somewhat traumatic time, our adviser is al­ways calm and able to discern mistakes everyone else has skipped. Often she stays with the staff until 5:30 p.m. OJ;' after-as long as it takes to complete the work of headline writing and copyreading.

To repeat, "The Wall Street Journal's" fellowship gives national recognition to the qualities in our adviser for which we have be-en thankful privately all year.

At this time, the end of another year about equally compounded of headlines and headaches we wish to thank Miss Kn~ght ·for being an excellent adviser, and more

·important-a wonaerful person.-Marya Lyn Withey._

Initiative Estahlish·es 'Place~ . In exactly 12 days; commencement exercises begin.

Two days rater the graduates will come to school to receive a symbol of 13 years of hard work, a diploma. ' To the outside world, it means the student has cov­ered 12 grades plus kindergarten, taking the required · number of courses.

Although not all the students have afttained this mark on such · courses as physics, triginometry, college algebra, or probability and statistics, or received dis­tinction in graduation, they have a place to fill in this world.

If a person does one thing bettet than any one else iri the world, he will be in great demand. Mr. Anonymous makes pickles better than anyone else, and finds himself happy because he is making his contribution.

There is 'a place in the world for everyone if he is willing to work hard and wants to m'ake somethjng of himself. .

Determining where to go is the big questien. Into what fi~lds, to what responsibility, and how much work are sub-questions of this. ·

· Above all, do your best to serve humanity, and you have done your share.-Lois Livesay.

Utilizing Time · Adds to Life What are you doing this summer? This question frequently pops up in conversations

during this time of ye·ar when the balmy, weather and the end of school are quickly approaching. ,

It is true that we . are confronted with more leisure time and the opportunity to spend it usefully. If we would all take advantage of th'is' time to strive to improve our country and our lives, perhaps we could convince others tha t "the troublesome younger generation" isn't so bad after aU.

However, it is,' unfortunately, often easier and more tempting to do something · which requires little effort than something more difficult. . ·

Many .of us would rather lie in a comfortable chair and watch our neighbor struggle with two bags of gro­ceries and an. economy-size package of detergent than make an attempt to help them.

Of course, there are numerous ways in which we . may spend our leisure time. Developing our latent tal'­ents or interests are excellent "time-spenders.'' Sports· such as basketball ' and swimming and hobbies such as . painting and mechanics, are not only interesting to us but also to otQ.ers and provide~ good way to meet people.

A~so, many civic organizations, hospitals, and grcmps such as the Red Cross disaster t~ams need volunteers for their projects in our community.

In whatever ways 'Ye use our leisure time, we may keep in mind that, '~Tinie wasted is exist-ence; time used is life."-Nancy Carpenter:

~ Band & Orch. 'Go Through' For Futurity

Behind every polished selec­tion the band or orchestra plays throughout a school year is the day when the piece was placed before the musicians for the first time. In addition, there are other selecti ons which ins trumental music teacher Bruce Robart tries out on o.ne of the two groups, but which may never be heard on the stage.

1\'lan's best innovation: a summer vacation. •

This a ll concerQS an in­tegral part in the process of learning music- sightreading. Mr. Robart notes that the im­portaJ1ce o.f-sightreading is in­dicated by the fact that a whole catgory is given to it in the . annual Band and Orches­tra Festival. "Ability in s ight­reading goes hand in hand with musicianship," the co.n­ductor said. "A person wh·o plays well sightreads well." New 'Liz' Fashions ~Create

Frills from· Head to Toe Although Mr. Robart often

pulls out a piece of music which might possibly be per­formed fairly soon., he added that in one notable case-Mor­ton Gould's "American Salute" - he had thought the music too hard for a concert per­formance. ';I didn' t think they could do it," Mr. Robart re­members, "but we read it through, and I threw the chal: lenge to them. We were able to work it up a nd play it in our spring concert last year."

To • keep up with the fast pace of the ,fashion world, one must almost be as speedy as a track star.

It seems like only yesterday that the "Jackie" look was the rage from Paris to New York. Thousands of f a s h i o n con­scious women were rushing to purchase a tiny pillbox hat or a sleek' but simple jacket suit. Now these outfits have been pushed to the very back of closets in order to make room for the newest fad. ' This new fad is sometimes referred to as the "Liz" look. It can only be described as ruffles, ruffles, and m o r e ruffies. Dresses are covered from head to toe with these frills. They can be f o u n d a round the neckline, around the middle. and as a fringe a long the bottom.

Bathing suits are decorated with ruffles too. Wat repel­lent, of course!

Hats, purses, coats, formals, and even lingerie are styled along this "Liz" look. It is getting hard to distinguish be-

Dow~s lte•••·~ Ai~l Lectu•·es

During Frontiers of Science Day, April 27, employees of the Dow Chemjcal and the Dow Corning .Corpor a t i o n s surprised· a great number of students when they visited our school to lecture about the as­pects of · chemical- science.

Each speaker was equipped with his "little bag of tricks" containing samples and mate­rials to be used in performing v a r i o u s classroom experi­ments .

Many of the fashionable clothing items are designed from materials made by Dow . A current fall and w i n t e r f~vorite, . laminated jersey, is among these. An interesting

- remark that rea.lly stunned' the listeners was the story of ny­lon. The Dupont Company be­gan working on a formula for the synthesis of nylon in 1927, and it wasnJt until 12 years and $27,000,000 later that the project was completed and riady for marketing.

Everyday we· hear of new breakthroughs in medical sci· ence. The next time you take an aspirin be aware of the fact that it was probably made at the Dow Chemical Com­pany. Upon purchasing these handv headache helpers, it may ·be fun to remember that all aspirin, no matter what color or price, is exactly the same.

The real value of these two companies and the research lies not only in their advances , in chemistry. but also the part they will play in education.

tween . the ruffled kitchen cur· tains and a lady's housecoat.

Ruffles can be found in all s izes, s h a p e s, and colors. While some are long and nar­row, others are short and wide. They can be found · in solid colors. prints, plaids, and even polka dots. '

Jus t as an appropriate hair­style went a I o n g with the "Jackie'• look, one has been designed 'for the "Liz" look also. Actually there are two types of coiffures.

One resembles the "Cleo­patra" do and the other is called the "Baby Doll" look. The "Baby Doll" look is some­what like ruffles. It is fluffy and turned up at -the ends. The "Cleopatra'' do is more sophisticated w i t h straight bangs across the forehead.

Alt!1ough this fad seems to be "in," it would be well tq remember the fickleness of the fa s h i o n world. Plan your closet space now, for who knows when the next rage will hit!

Quite often both the band and the orchestra run through .'lumbers a little over their heads, merely for the experi­ence of reading good musical literature, if not always with .the results of "American Salute." . In the orchestra's case, Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings" and Bach's Third Brandenburg Concerto have been worked on. ·

The musicians, the conduct­or, and eventually, the public, are all helped by this basic clement in the production of good music, for it is while sightreading that the genes is of the concert selection occurs.

A.l\'IONG THE "EXTRAS" i n c I u d e d in room 314 is Jerald Graves', spanish instructor, col_lection of seven newspapers and their history-making headlines. 1\lr. Graves began his newsy collection when he was in school as the result of a 'class assign-

ment. (Photo by Darr Johnson)

Jerald Graves' Collection Co~ntains Famo·us Papers Dewey Defeats Truman ,

This banner headline in the C hi c a go Daily Tribune de­clared the results of J:he 1948 Presidential election to the in­habitants of the Chicago area . However, the Repub!ican in­clined paper had prematurely judged the outcome of the ballot, and Truman won.

This paper is one of seven each with a history-mak;ing headline, that Jerald Graves, Spanish teacher, has hanging in his room, 314. Mr. Graves b e g a n collecting the news­papers wh~n he was in school, as the result of a class assign­ment.

The other famous· events im­mortalized in newsprint are

from ~he Battle Creek Enquir­er and News.

Another h e a d 1 i -n e reads, "Roosevelt Dies," print~d on

April 12, 1945. "Reds D e c 1 a r e War On

J aps," from the August 8, issue, when the Russians en­tered the war against Japan in its last stages.

"Atomic Bomb, 12,000 Times· Stronger Than Blockbuster, Is Dropped on Japanese." This headline was published after the first A-Bomb was dropped on Hiroshima in the August 6, 1945 issue.

It can easily be seen how newspapers help make history. How ma ny headlines publish­ed today w ill someday play a n important role in the study of America, 1962?

Knowing how to make a car is not just nuts and bolts .

· Knowing how to improve or discover new serums is not just knowing how many -cc's to inject in a guinea pig. It takes education, and Michigan has some of the best science and techn·ological schools in the nation.

In F lint, General Motors In· sUtute has maintained this en­gineering school since 1926. It is the world's largest indus­trial educational institution (in number of s tudents enrolled). GMI prepares young men for technical, en g i n e e r i n g and science. They, too, have exce,. lent recommendations. At Houghfon, Michigan, there is the Michigan College Of Min· ing and Technology, a small­er school (enrollment-wise) . but not lacking the high stan· dards necessary to produce ex­cellence in these fields.

There are 20 non-public col· leges in Michigan. These com· prise such t e c h n o 1 o g i c a 1 schools as Chrysler Institute of Engineering in Detroit, Michigan, and the Lawrence Institute of Technology also located in Detroit. Their pro­gram runs along the same pat· tern and these schools also have 11igh standards.

Besides these schools there are many places of business and laboratories. Parke, Dav­is, & Co., one of nation's 1ead· ing · pharmaceutical manufac· turers has a new $13,500,00 laboratory near Ann Arbor, devoted exclusively to medi· cal research.

Big Rock Point, on the shore of Lake Michigan near Charlevoix, will provide an· other outstanding example of Michigan's rapid growth in science and industry. Later this year, the nuclear power plant located there will begin producing electricity using ur· a nium for fuel.

Before the plant is used as a commercial generating unit, Consumers Power Company, the sole owner, will conduct a four and one half year re· search program for the United States Atomic E nergy Com-mission.

Worth a n estimated 527,763.-000, the plant will produce electricity in much the same manner as any steam turbine generator facility. However, the power produced by approx· ima tely ' eight and one half tons of uranium within the core of the nuclear reactor will roughly equal the burning of 267,000 tons of coal.

Only ten nuclear power plants are opera ting in the United States today: The Big Rock Point plant, added to this small number, . illustrates the industry's confidence in the continued growth of our state of Michigan.

* * * Future Brightens Mineral wealth is pushing

Michigan into the spotlight. According to the United States Bureau of Mines in 1959 and 1960, Michigan out-ranked all the bordering states in the value of the minerals produc· ed.

Michigan ranks firs t on the national scale in the produc· tion of natural salines, peat, and gypsum, and second with the production of iron ore and sand and gravel.

Peat, found in great re­serves throughout the state, is principally used to improve the soil.

Artificial -as well as natural brines are included in the salt production of Michigan. The Detroit·Wil)dsor area: has play. ed a s ignificant role as con· tributor of salt while other large deposits exist at Luding­ton, Manistee, and along the St. Clair and Detroit Rivers.

Michigan's vast sale rserves could supply the needs of the world for thousands of years , and since salt is a good medi· urn for radio-active waste disposal. these salt beds may be a potential disposal area for the future.

The copper production is s ufficient to place Michigan in fifth place in the state as well as in the nation, and copper, the first commercial discovery of the U.S. is mined in the Kee· weenaw Peninsula area.

Michigan's mineral wealth is of great value, and prospects for the f uture will be bright if it continues to increase. The total value of this aspect of Michigans' wealth according to t he 1960 report is $435,129,790, an increase from the previous years.

Michigan Malls Show New Trends As the popul~tion of the ur.­

ban areas flows to the sub· urbs to escape the noise and smoke filtrated air, the shop· ping areas are also moving to keep up with the people. This helps the suburbanites, but what about the long establflih· ed downtown merchants?

Kalamazoo, Michigan, is a pioneer, being the · first in ·the country to build a downtown mall. This unique idea fea­tures grassy plots, trees, faun· tains, and a r evolving stage.

Pedestrian traffic has in· creased 30% since the con· struction of this three-block downtown area. The biggest increase has been in gross sales, amounting to a 15% in­crease, with stores on the mall having the largest rise.

In Flint, the Greater Down· town Flint Corporation propos· es to do a similar thing with theiv Mid·City Project.

The estimated cost amounts to $7,895,000, with $4,295,000 coming from a special down· town assessment and a park·

ing·revenue l;?~md issue. All this comes unde.,r Flint's

Master Plan, with improve­ments directed towa~d the growing traffic congestion, lack o~ adequate parking space, and lack of facilities for easy pedestiran circula­tion.

Three blocks of Saginaw Street will become a pedes­trian mall, under the plan, stretching from Second to Union Streets. '

Truly with these great en· g ineering feats, Michigan is moving ahead.

Agriculture involves much expe r i m e n t i n g with soils, seeds, chemicals, machinery, animals, and weather in order to grow the best product pos­sible for the consumer.

Discoveries made by scien­tists at Michigan State Uni· versity during the recent years have been numerous and most helpful.

Irrigation for frost protec· tion is used on 90 per cent of all strawberry beds in south· western Michigan.

To'mato growers now trans· plant tomatoes earlier in the spring because irrigation can prevent fro~t damage to these early plantings.

When the system is used, water is sprayed almost con· tlnuous ly on the plants and the soil. Because the air tem­perature drops below freezing, the water starts to freeze on the plants.

When the water freezes, it gives off heat- some of which goes into the plant's leaves and blossoms. The plant ab· sorbs enough heat to keep it above its freezing temperature • except under extreme condi· tions.

Game District 16 supervisor, Thomas Osmer. who heads the Lapeer and Port Huron game areas, stated tHat one friend believed that the Lapeer Game Area was a game preserve in· stead of a hunting area. Inci­dents such as this show the public's unawareness of the

Contrary to popular belief, the Conservation Department is striving tQ conserve, not preserve, Michigan's wildlife.

This golden opportunity for outdoor living should not be abused by the public. Yet, many beer bottles and other rubbish, found in the Lapeer area, tend to indicate this is the trend throughout all the hunting districts

E . . Me logan· Certain Of~ Con-Con Success

There is indeed something co 1 o r f u 1 and exciting about white-wigged men gathering in Philadelphia's Constitution Hall in 1787, wearing knee breeches, fancy waistcoats and buckle shoes, to draw up a framework for the government of the n~wly·

formed United States. of America. But issues just as important lie in the formulation or revision of any constitution by any one of the tift~ states. Fl;'rthermore, the excitem ent is there, although a superficial or disinterested appraisal may fail to find any. Michigan convened such a session last October 3, by virtue of a close electoral vote the· previous- April.

A part of the Con-Con picture of 144 delegates and one of the three representatives of Michigan's first legislative district is Edward A. McLogan. A typical day for delegate McLogan consists of committee work in the morning, a party caucus right after lunch, followed by the general session.

Mr. McLogan served on the committee on local government. The job of the members on this committee was to determine the amount of power which should be allotted to the various units of local government-cities, townships, villages, counties.

The deadline for all Con-Con activity in this session was May 15; it will convene next September to take care of tech­nicalities before presenting the new constitution to the public. On the chances of meeting this deadline Mr. McLogan said that in the middle of April, he would "have thought we would go qver. but now the determination of the convention is keeping everything on schedule and I'm sure we'll make it." Mr. Me­Logan's confidence in the pro g r e s s of the convention was obviously well-founded, for Con-Con closed its session slightly ahead of schedule on May 12.

Mr. McLogan is generally pleased with the public interest in the Con-Con although he noted that it often seemed more general than specific. He admitted that he was sometimes appalled at the ignorance of a few people, as when one consti· tuent once asked .' him, "Do we get to vote on it (the new con· stitution) ?" '

Now· th.at all the great work of the convention is dozie , however, there still remains one mammoth problem: .whether the voters will accept the new document at the polls next No· vember. · Either party (it is safe to say it would not be the Rep4blican, with 98 out of the 144 convention seats), the unions, a ny minority group, ~r the Michigan Farm Bureau, could sink the consptution by s~mply declaring itself unsatisfied with it, Mr. McLogan said. The press can do a lot in selling it, he added.

For the voters, who will register their ayes and nays in a few months, he' had this message: "People should look on the

- new constitution as to the degree of improvement it affords the state alone, a nd then vote on it. Don't vote no just because

- there is one small part you may not happe.n to like." · He summed up his job and the role of the delegates as a

whole as follows: "It's a little bit like going to school. There's homework involved, but you get a rewarding feeling doing the j~b. One of the benefits the state will receiye after the close of the ronvention,'' he concLuded, "will be that 144 knowledge­able people will return home and be the' force of constructive good a nd progress in their communities."-Jay Harvey ..

Faculty 'Stars' Show Prowess In Blooperball

From ~ast athletic competi· tion with the faculty, such as the senior-faculty basketball game, it is evident that the Central High School staff does have some athletic talent. Perhaps not in basketball, but they come into their own when they play blooperball.

Blooperba'! is simply • regu­lation softball with _the same rules and equipment except th~t the ball i~ pitched high and. the home plate is t hree feet long. If the ball hits the plate, it's a st rike. If it miss­es, it's a ball.

The game usua lly lasts about an hour, moves fast with a lot of action, has few strike-outs, and allows more people to play than softball.

In 1960, the Central Bloop· erball Team won the ieague c h a m I? i o n s h i p at Lowell Sctiool. They won Jthe city play-offs and were F lint Olym­pian Game Champions with an 18-1 record.

To a golfer; an "ace," or hole in one, is the crowning achievement of his work a nd determination in the sport. At Flint Central, golf coach Bob

· Alick's definition of an "ace" is another golfer like Dick McMillan.

.·

/

\

The term "ace" in s ports denotes the player a co a c h would most reply on in a situ­a tion where the best is need­ed. McMillan has consistent­ly been the one who has answered the call. As he cul­minates his three-year career this season, it Is as one of the most winning . and consistent in Central golf history.

AmoRg his m a n y achieve­ments is a 76, which was good enough for. low medalist in last year's Regional Tourna­ment, won by Central. This year, of the 10 points scored by the Indians iJ;J the City Series play, McMillan person­ally accounted for s ix.

He has an average of 78 . strokes t his season, which is fine golf for anyone, especial­ly in high school, and one of the lowest averages ever at Central. To s how his consis­tency, his highest total this year was 83, and the rest oi his total never went above 78. He was beaten only once, by Bay City Handy.

JUNE 11, 1962 SEPTEMBER 4, 1961 One final indication of Dick's

prowess is that he will be only the fifth 3:year letter winner in golf at Central. This is even glossier when you lool< at the names of the others who have turned t he trick. They are: Don Taylor, Dale Parker. Gary Latimore, and Gene Hunt. COU.RSES

Central Nicks Midland; Tribe Faces ~Colts' Reed

Gay Faces Greatest Rival-Gay Major league scouts had a heyday one week ago Tuesday.

Baseball fanfare was at its highest pitch in several seasons for the Saginaw Valley Conference as Central traveled to Midland to decide the Valley lead. ·

Most of the on-lookers were pulling for a potent chemic squad led by its senior pitcher, Larry Jaster, who is a m ajor league prospect valued at aroupd $35,000. .

Before the afternoon was over, almost all of the "cat-eyes" and conversation were turned toward a sophomore Jim Blight, who had fired a two-hit shut out and with his team-mates handed Jaster his first loss after 19 s traight victories.

Even so, most scouts figured Blight was probably just a "good" senior. When one asked Blight his age, and the reply was only 15, he was· immediately swamped. ~

Blight, who is now 4-0, might well be dubbed "The Hawk" because of his pinpoint control (he faced only 24 batters while delivering only 26 balls) and gaunt-like features (6'4" a?d 175 pounds).

Midlaud boasted eight .300 hitter s in addition to Jaster's talents, but Blight put them all down in a close·1·0 victory.

1\lore important than all the fanfare, though, was the fact that Central won. Although sophomore Blight's performance VARNARD GAY PREPARES was outstanding, three seniors-John Johnson, Howard Walker, and Dwayne Cross--were equally important in scoring the only run of the game to give Central and Blight the win. Blight's performance could have been in vain.

Johnson got the first clean hit of the game off Jaster in the t hird. After 'Blight sacrificed him along, Walker. then beat o~t a grounder to second base ~he leads the team in stolen bases, w1th 8) to move Johnson to th1rd.

Then Cross, who is uncanny for coming through with m en on base (he averages better 'than .600) , hit a blooper to bring Johnson home. Cross leads the team in runs batted in with ten:

Johnson has raised his average from .181 to .308 in the last five games and is beginning to come on strong. Walker, as Jead-off man, is still continuing his phenomenal rate (.659)

Class of '62

By Ed Bagley Varnard Gay, who co u 1 d

well claim ownersh ip to the worn path beside Gilkey Creek behind Central, 'has something in common with the aged stream- he is as persistent as the gurgling current that moves swiftly a long ...

During the last twelve years that Gay has been teaching and coaching at Central , there have been several s ign ificant . changes about Oak Grove Campus, a name that is now out-dated.

The wheel of progress has initiated a massive Flint Pub· lic Library, a startling Long­way Planetarium, and a mosaic approach to the DeWaters Art Center, among o t h e r struc· tures.

But if o ne t hi n g hasn't changed in the past twelve years, it's been the worn path beside Gilkey Creek. And Varnard Gay, more than any· one else, has kept the path in its "worn" fashion.

Gay, who will be 58 years old in November , just plain "likes to run." So much, in fact, that he has been doing it for the 47 years. R unning "offers a form of relaxation" for Gay.

Gay fills his schedule with running, I i g h t weighlifting, and numerous exercises. He is presently in good health and has been for the better part of his life-running has dealt him no ill effects.

Unlike some athletes who run for several ' seasons and develop a heart condition , thereby making it necessary for them to continue running; Gay runs only for the pure love of the snort.

Gay's second love is coach­ing. This year marks his twenty-ninth after graduating from Western Michigan, (1928- ' 1932 )·. He was captain of the cross-country squad his junior and senior year and just miss· ed qualifying for the United States in the 1932 Olympics.

Succeps has followed Gay throughout his coaching career, primarily of the dis­tance variety. He has piloted six different high schools.

Mt. Mm·ris St. Ma ry, Hoo­ver, Kearsley, and Utley are the county schools t hat were under the wing of Gay.

In the county competition he instituted a tradition that still remains unmatched - he won 12 county track titles in his 13 year stay (he was . runner­up the odd year).

The remainder of his talents have come the way Of Central a nd Junior College.

While at Central, he added the second of his best tradi· tions, S t a t e individual 880 cha mps, John Shaw represent· ing the latest. (1961 champ and State record holder at 1 :57.2).

He produced five champions in four years, as in 1959 two of his proteges won titles. (In the state meet, there are three 880 heats-.:..the best time de· ciding the mythical champ)

All totaled, Gay has coach­ed four State cross-country and two State track champion­ship squads. He was also runnerup in cross-country for two years a nd in track for one.

Gay's ability to work with runners s tems from his dedi­cation to the sport. Few ath· letes who compete under Gay fail to hold the highest re­spect for t he mentor who can still outdistance_ members of Central's J.V. squad.

Varnard Gay, a runner for 47 years, with the prospect of continuing his persistent dedi­cation in t he seasons to come, may yet create a legend with-in his own time. -
