Those compiling the senior department gathered photographs and facts encompassing the activities of each individual. Members of the staff assigned to the junior, sophomore, and freshman classes selected appropriate theme songs to correspond with the action of the pictures. Their next step up the tone scale was to write an operetta about the respective classes. The junior high department created a lyrical poetry set to conform with the functions of the sub- dominant chord that rings through the halls of the second floor. Gathering stanzas of personal and classroom in- terests pertaining to the dignity and versatility of the maestros conducting the Symphonette of Learningn was apportioned to the faculty and administration committee. Issuing forth a repertoire of jazz licks concerning extra-curricular activities was the requirement of four staff members. It was requisite for the sports departinent to keep in time with the football, basketball, and track events of the year. The first step up the tone scale for the miscellan- eous section was choosing favorites from the classical pictures of the good old days. Their final step was in- dexing the musical notes of L. H. S. The fingers of the typists flew over the keys as they completed the final step of this concert tour. f . , i J EDITORS Margaret Gauger Mary Lou Pittack BUSINESS MANAGERS Benjamin Clarence Neff, Jr. Carolyn Speak SENIOR DEPARTMENT Marlene Evans Sue Gierhan Phil Hodges JUNIOR DEPARTMENT Kate O'Connor Shirley Brummet Angie Munoz Eunice Osmera SOPHOMORE DEPARTMENT Pat Rathke Liz Glenn Bernita Tanner Marlene Triplett FRESHMAN DEPARTMENT Janet George Shirley Rohnert Sherry Sieg Margaret Wallace JUNIOR HIGH DEPARTMENT Norma Lange Shirley Knispel Don Schinzel John Wallace FACULTY AND ADMINISTRATION Carolyn Carroll Marge Hamar Libby Rae Paul Elvira Sandquist ORGANIZATIONS Skip Greenlee Al J essen Donna Schrack J 0 West I SPORTS Don Ryan Jane Jeffrey Kyle Jeffrey STUDEENT IgPE-Dixiglf :Xndix-son, LII-'Egish ESf'I1liXCY-gan I Schigzel, Roy Keenan umce smera. ir ey rum- o n a ace. aro e yer. mei, Kate O'Connor.

The annual staff acquired a terminology entirely different from their everyday conver- sation, for all of the write-ups were composed in a musical nomenclature. It is through the combined efforts of not only those who have taken a direct part play- ing in this symphonette, but also the crews behind the scenes working to finance this tremendous undertaking, that has enabled the Class of '53 to present this book to you With a Song in My Heart.

CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN?-Donna I CAN'T BEGIN TO TELL YOU-Max Schrack, Alfred Jessen, IoAnn Casey. Pat Rathke, Bernita West, Skip Greenlee, Carolyn Tanner. Marlene Triplett, Liz Koehn. Glenn. 'The Whole World is Singing My Song was the motif moving the ANNUAL S'1'AFl-' to produce a favorite among the classics-the laaa Mmu 1'EM1-uv. The treble clef carrying the melody stemmed from the resourcerulness and ingenuity or the whole notes, IVIISS lviai- garet Gauger and Miss Mary Lou rittack, editors: lvlr. lV1aX 1... Casey and lvlr. ltobert hi. Dyke, advisors. At the bottom or tne SC8.le was the selection or a theme which was chosen from a series of OI'1g1l'1al sketches sublnit- ted by members or the Annual Staff. Expatiatlng on this idea, the editors compiled a rough dummy copy which suggested their tentative IHYOUI or me yearbook. 'Lhis was mailed to the Capital Engraving Coln- pany of Lincoln. Their artist enlarged upon this plan by combining his imagination, talent, and artistic touch to create a whimsical and picturesque musical comedy. When Mr. Drew DeVriendt, the great manual, was in Lexington on a business venture, he brought with him a copy of which the editors made revisions and an exact duplicate. The next tone up the scale chimed out the reproduction of this copy scaled at twice its size to effect the final dum- Entering into the field of fine arts, members of the annual staff set to work writing lyrics with a musical accompani- ment to which minor corrections and re- visions were made by the editors. Stepping still higher up the tone scale perceived the clicking of IHS keys as the typists duplicated the longhand write-ups. These copies were then submitted to IIN: Dawson County Herald along with the lay- out plan for printing. Their galley proofs were read and proofed for possible mis- takes. Four hundred thirty copies of each page were run off by the massive printing machines at this local plant. Correspondence between the editors and the DeLuxe Craft Manufacturing Com- pany of Chicago, Illinois, resulted in the designing of an orange on black padded cover. An eighteenth century illustration of a Minuteman and a cannon shooting forth the notes H1953 Minutemanl' were featured on the exquisite Whirlpool grain cover. These pages and covers were skillfully bound together by Clyde Taylor and his assistants to produce a book that rings out the memorable events of the 1952-1953 school term. my. As a scale is not complete without notes, so also an annual is not complete without pictures reminiscing the highlights and activities of the school year. Mr. Harold Larsen of Capital Engraving ap- peared on the scene three times during the term to photograph interesting events por- traying life in L. H. S. These proofs were studied thoroughly by the editors before they were returned to Lincoln to be engraved. These girls, visit- ing the company in the fall, were shown through the plant and introduced to the many processes involved in the manu- facturing of engravings and the assembling of annuals. The use of glue, scissors, elbow grease, and the burning of midnight oil were then applied to these engravings as they were returned to the co-editors. Precision and computation were the attributes pertaining to the next note up the scale of harmony as the line and word measurements were figured to the utmost one-sixteenth of an inch. f X' f.il.f 195 X WITHOUT A SONG-Ianet George, KEEP IT A SECRET-Mick Nell, Margaret Wallace, Sherry Sieg, Marlene Evans, Phil Hodges Shirley Rchnert, Gerry Nelson. Sue Gierhan, Carolyn Speak. The height of the scale was reached when the an- nuals were distributed to 430 anxious recipients the midde of May. The Business Managers, Benjamin Clarence Neff, Junior and Carolyn Speak performed an exceptional job and set a new record exceeding above other graduating classes in the sales department. Supplementing the sale to students were the annual subscriptions bought by approximately fifty businessmen in the city of Lexington. The Minuteman does not only remain in the immedi- ate territory or is it to be enjoyed by only L. H. S. participants, but also travels to other schools in an ex- change of musical arrangements.
