You see, Lois had taken Hedda Hopper's place writing gossip columns in Hollywood. After investigating for several weeks, she came up with the following report on the Class of '54'. Lois An- derson received her Old Maid's Degree and is now married. Mary Anderson has been voted Mrs. Housewife of 1960.

Ted Pittman is their steady pa- tient. He has a hopeless case of heart trouble. Waneta Waterman is happily married and living on the West coast with the Stars. Ilene Thompson is a very successful dress designer for women who work in factories. She believes the clothes should be worn tight so the girls have to look out for the machinests instead of the machines. Don Christenson, an efficient truck driver, is on strike, He doesn't approve of the rule, 'No passengers allowed. Darrel Lien, an understudy for Roy Rogers, is appearing in the movie, Trigger Happy, because Roy broke his leg. Dale Bliese and Chuck Daniel have joined the Armed Forces. they plan to see the world, then write a book about their experiences. Eugene Frankson is now a famous boxer, killing fleas on his boxer pup. Irvin Yelle is now a professor of mathematics at Yale, he is a specialist in teaching addition.

Performances that keep this group active throughout the school year are not the primary reason for operating a band, but serve only as a means to an end which is gaining satisfaction of having done something to the best of ones ability. However, the band, like the mixed chorus, does a great deal for community activities both here in Clear Lake and as a public relations agency with other surrounding communities. The band has 65 players this year, the largest that the group has ever been. Following is a list of public performances the band has made during the 1953-54 school year: Polk 'County Fair Amery Fall Festival Four Halftime Shows Homecoming Armistice Day Program Midwinter Clinic, Milltown Radio Broadcast WSBR Annual Spring Concert Superior Tour Commencement Exercises Memorial Day District Legion Convention at Grantsburg Prairie Farm Fair Reeve Fair Polk County Fair Aug. 17 Sept. 8 Football Games Oct. 16 Nov. 11 Feb. 5 Feb. 14 April 6 April 23-24 May 19 May 30 June 6 July 11 Aug. 6 Aug. 19 Concert Parade Parade Parade Concert Concert Concert Concert Concert Concert Parade SL Concert Parade and Maneuvering Parade Parade 8a Concert Concert In addition to these appearances by the entire band, the students of the band did their part in furnishing community entertainment in the following ways: For all home basketball games the band was divided into two bands which took turns playing for all home games. The novelty band played at the following community gatherings: County Holstein Banquet October 22 District Basketball Tournament February 6 South Edgewood PTA April 2 Nine of the band members took part in an all star band debate performed at the midwinter clinic at Madison, on January 7. They were Ray Schultz, Miles Schustedt, Jack Steinberger, Shirley Paulson, Joanne Paulson,Gera1yn Rubin, Ed Hemauer, Irvin Yelle, and Morris Ohlin. Admittance into this group was by competative auditionwith band mem- bers from 12 other schools. STANDING: Maxine H., Niles E., Irvin Oveila E., Shirley P., Lois A., Lois L.

The values to individual and community that may be obtained by stu- dent participation in this nonselective group are these: sufficient voice training to take part in church choir activities, opportunity for any high school student to take part in a group that performs for the public,with this comes the realization of group spirit which is so important in adult life, and thirdly the enjoyment which comes from singing, which is per- haps the reason for the size of this years group, which numbers one hundred fifteen students. Six vocalists have elected to study voice privately with Mrs. Mabel Jacobs of Hudson. On several occasions students from the choir have sung in the com- munity for various events. Basses BACK ROW: J.

Our trip was for both pleasure and business. Last year, the East High School Band performed on a tour basis at Clear Lake. Our concert was given in return. Because our Music Department takes part in Upper St. Croix Valley Clinic and Concert activities, school officials felt that participat- ing in District Music Festivals would have been a duplication of effort. The band also enjoyed a tour of the city of Superior sponsored by the Superior Chamber of Commerce. The escorts--Mr. T.

Homecoming was one of the big events of the year at Clear Lake The parade, held in the afternoon, was made up of many beautiful floats The game was held in the evening and the Warriors won a smashing vic tory over New Auburn with a score of 54 to O.The dance followed short ly after the game with the Coronation being the big event of the evening Homecoming Dance Royalty: Cleo, Mary Ann, Oveila, Mary, Bob, Allen, Eddie, Jim, Patty, and Brian, ... . U , .Sr Mr. Lundberg and Mr. Grimes The dedication took place as part of our Homecoming celebra- tion, with Mr. Grimes attending the event and giving a speech at the half-time of the game. His speech was based upon the value of iniative. He impressed upon the students and everyone pre- sent, the fact that they should keep on trying no matter how many ob- stacles or problems they run in to. The dedication added greatly to the Homecoming celebration and Mr. Grimes enjoyed seeing some of his old friends once again. FIELD DEDICATION In September of 1953, a lighting system was errected on the athletic field at Clear Lake. The community and school worked together to provide the lights, feeling that it would be a great benefit to both the school and the entire community. The Community Club suggested that the field be dedicated to a famous ex-baseball player, who was once a citizen ofthe community, Mr. Burleigh Grimes, of the St. Louis Cardinals.

FOOTBALL The football Warriors of 1953 enjoyed a prosperous regime. They went undefeated in seven conference contests plus a scrimmage and an exhibition game. They thus earned an undisputed conference title, their first since 1945. The only time they were threatened was the Weyer- hauser contest when Bob Rubin salvaged the victory with a touchdown producing jaunt in the dying seconds to earn a 20-14 margin. Bob was a major factor of the success of the Warriors this year. He scored 119 points and played inspirational ball all the way. This was the Warriors first year of night football and they seemed to thrive on it. Their first games under lights on the local gridiron saw them prance to a 61-0 win over Cameron. Later conquests eliminated Weyerhauser, New Auburn, and Bruce. They outscored their opponents 343 to 40 and outgained them, too. They lose 12 lettermen through grad- uation, nine of them with two years experience. Injuries were quite frequent, at one time as many as six from the first 16 were sidelined or hampered, but a strong bench kept the War- riors in the win column. A good indication of the Warrior depth might be the undefeated string sported by the B squad. It is hoped that next year's squad may follow this year's pattern of play and always excel in initiative and uphold the traditions of fair play whatever their conquest.

The basketball team, this year, experienced a season of ups and downs. They started well and downed Osceola with some pretty fancy shootingg but a week later they encountered Lindstrom Center City and fell 64-38. La Verne Gilbertson, who had been a mainstay the year before suf- fered a severely sprained ankle prior to the Clayton game. He was side- lined until after Christmas vacation and hampered for the rest of the season by a large roll of tape plus a weak ligament due to a football in- jury. He was unable to produce at capacity but never the less he played some inspired ball and was important to the Warriors season record. In the course of the regular season, Clear Lake was generally re- garded as a supreme aggregation. They were undefeated in conference play, thus earning an undisputed Lakeland Conference title. They com- piled a season record of 12-5 and were several times mentioned as Little 16 contenders. They outscored their opponents 1077-1032. des- pite two vicious Chi-Hi drubbings. In the tournament they froze and Luck stopped them in the first round. They were barely able to edge out a previously unrecognized Milltown club and finally found the mark to down Webster for consola- tion honors. They lost only three of the A squad through graduation: but these men will be sorrily missed for their play as well as team spirit. 47 BASEBALL The Warriors, this year, had a disappointing baseball season. They played 500 ball all the way, having a 3-3 record and 2-Z in the confer- ence, but were unable to follow up their basketball and football champion- ships. At the time of this writing they are entering a tournament but production dates prohibit this part of the story from going into the Echo . . They opened with a win over Centuria in a non-conference game. They stopped the Tigers 4-2 behind the 5-hit pitching of Ted Pittman. The next time the two encountered, Centuria won 9-7 with the same good hits and fine pitching by Tommy Rogers. The warriors opened the conference with a bang as they stopped Clay- ton 11-12. Ted Pittman sat the Bears down cold in the game. He struck out 18 and allowed only two hits. - A week later, Prairie Farm got to Ted for 5 hits and 4 runs. They won 4-3, followed by Shell Lake's encore which, ironically enough, was the same score. The Seniors took their class trip on the day of the next game. Duane Olson took over the hurling chores and earned a victory in spite of some wobbly support. This score was 15-12 over Turtle Lake, who was tied for the conference title. The Warriors lose Rich Wallberg, Mort Melby, Bob Rubin, Ted Pitt- man, and Wayne Kaczmarski through graduation. lt is hoped that the Warriors will fare well in the W. 1. A. A. Tourney and live up to the standards of fair play. 48 Activities JE, X., Cf.: Ps-'. wwln - , - 7 f into . K 'T 'f N e ' Q5 Q - Q'-H, ,. , .,3r,,f' T7 'wwf ' ?

But old time goes rushing onward, And we soon must say Good-bye, To life in Clear Lake High. Oh, it's hard to leave companions, All old friends, behind at school: But enarmoured with our sheepskins We shan't dread the wor1d's harsh rule, For our goal is the highest, And the limit is the sky-- For we're from Clear Lake High.
