I graduated from Pershing High School in 1969. I was wondering if anyone here went there during or near that time and remember the teachers and so on. Just a trip down memory lane. |

Hello Drifterlee...Always good to hear from the Doughboy Alumni Club. I am a Mackenzie graduate and enjoy reading about all Detroit schools; Pershing (as you know) has a great athletic tradition.
One of the lesser known Doughboy Stories:
Just before you enrolled, there was a swimmer by the name of Pete Adams who transferred out of Pershing during his senior year - a millage increase had failed, Detroit Public Schools dropped swimming and diving.
Anyhoo.....
Adams ended up in Royal Oak, an All-State Performer. |

Probably not exactly what you had in mind but Parducci did at least one of the entrances there in . . . 1929, ( amazing bit of deduction). eeeeeeeeek

Thanks! I remember sneaking out those doors many times, LOL! Spencer Haywood was a senior when I was a freshman or had just graduated. So long ago. Scary. |
