B061 HM-www 'if-Q TP-IE CENIHO VOLUME 28 CLHSS of ICILP8 EH ST LHNSING HIGH SCHOOL QM ggg-I Foreword A Trojan is a mythical founder of the ancient city of Troy. In this 1948 Ceniad We hope to show that the East Lansing High School Trojans are very real. You will see them at work and at playg you will read of their achieve- mentsg you will know their deeds of 1947 and 1948. May you find as much enjoyment in this record as we, the staff, have found in preparing it for you. In Memory of Bert Sever An App1feciati01z September twenty-fifth, nineteen hundred forty-seven will long be remem- bered as the date of the passing of a real friend. W'e do not feel his spirit is gone. His punctuality, his willingness to help, his interest and concern in our comfort, his smile' and pleasant voice will be remembered a long, long time. During his illness, he repeatedly expressed the necessity of getting back to work. His Work was his life, for therein was the opportunity to do for others. Words often fail to adequately. express our appreciation, hence we dedicate this volume to his memory. He was a true Trojan. Like the poet he would say- So be my passing, . My task accomplished, and the long day done, My wages taken and in my heart Some late lark singingg Let me be gathered in the quiet west, The sunset, splendid and serene.

Each 'T' functions separately but with similar goals. Clif Elected last spring by the high school students, President jim Adams and Vice President Bill Mfaddell, together with Fran Hanslovsky who was appointed secretary, led the senior council through an outstandingly successful year. Even with a meeting every week, time seemed to fly so that between policies, problems, projects, and pursuits, there was always plenty to be done. YVith the proceeds from the magazine drive of last fall, the council purchased a tape re- corder and a public address system to be used in the auditorium and on the football field. The curtain-s on the gymnasium stage showed a great improvement after being cleaned and repaired through the council. The .second annual Alumni Ball, given, for alumni and students in the Union ballroom at Christmas time, was hailed as the biggest informal dance of the year. No one ever saw so many ex-students at a function as assembled for this party. It was great to see the old gang. As for finance, the council-sponsored paper drive took care of the greater share of money problems, especially the carnival. The whole high school took part in the carnival which was a busy, bustling, jolly night for al'l. Also under'the jurisdiction of the council, varsity and reserve cheer leaders were chosen, pep assemblies were planned, and money was appropriated for new outfits for the cheer leaders. The officers of the Junior Student Council were Nancy Bauer, president, and Audra Stark, secretary. Their job is to plan for the welfare of the seventh and eighth grades. junior council members gain much valuable experience in student govermnent, thus preparing them for senior council. Faculty members were Miss Stophlet and Mr. Stauffer of senior council, and Mrs. Myers of junior council. ...-- ...-5-' 11 Senior Student Council w 5 Fourth Row: Richardson, B. Voigt, D. Hunt, D.

King - They have, indeed, done a tremendous job, and are a tribute to our school life. Let them speak! I just can't believe it. It seems like yesterday when we entered this good old school. Yes! East Lansing High School was soon to become a part of usg a part which in spite of the school work, is the home of many unforgettable memories. So our hats off to the best school in the world - E. L. H. S. As so homores we were well on our wa in makin a name for ourselves. For our officers P . . . . V . g . . we elected jim Thomson, presidentg Cynthia Doyle, vice president, jim Adams, secretary, and Bob Kropschot, treasurer. As sophomores we were only starting with the presentation of fine ar ies suc as ' u n our eau i u ecora e mnasium our ni c u erne was t h Clb48 I b tflld td htlbth P , Y ' gy H 8 carried out to the fullest extent. Club 48 was said to be the finest So homore Prom ever to P be presented. In the field of athletics, the sophomores were not taking a back seat for anybody. Ronnie Penner had received his Varsity letter in his freshman year, and twelve more of our fellows also received the same honor. As juniors we were destined to play a predominant part in school affairs. Our class was under the capable direction of Jim Herrick, Stan Stoddard, Ann Foster, and Jim Adams. In this great year we formed the famous Shakespearean Players. This group was the spirit and support of the pep assemblies. Then came Double Door . Yes! the juniors were attempting a dramatic play. And what a play! The school's most outstanding theatrical success! When you recall Double Door you recall a play that had all the qualities to make it unforgettable. Being ambitious youngsters we out-did ourselves in frostbite sales, hour dances, the carni- val, and the All-High Revue. Yes! Whenever the school undertook a project, the juniors were the main cog in the wheel. ' Undercurrent , the dance of the year was cleverly decorated, depicting marine life, sunk- en ships, treasure chests, and beautifully colored fish floating through green seaweed. The couples danced to the music of Dick Charles' orchestra. It'was another outstanding event and will long be remembered. We certainly can say our junior year for the class of '48, was a colossal one. As time seems to be swiftly slipping away from us this last year, we feel a little sentimental about its coming to a close, but we hope our spirit and determination to have a job well done will remain with this school forever. Our officers are striving to make this another year to be remembered. Our leaders are Ken Fuce, president, Dan Burlingame, vice president, Barbara Peeke, secretary, and Howard Weav- er, treasurer. Mfe are also fortunate in having Miss Stophlet, Miss MacDonald, and Miss Beaumont as our class sponsors. To start the year rolling, the Class of '48 along with the support of the Class of 47 gave the school a juke box. QThanks '47.j The homecoming celebration being held the night our football team played Marshall, we sent those boys home with a defeat of 12 to 0. Our boys were really on their toes that night, and to top the evening off was the annual Homecoming Dance where the King and Queen are crowned. Charlotte Wellman was chosen queen, and Ken Fuce elected king. Nancy Lost- utter, Dottie Vickers, Fran Hanslovsky, and Mary Anne Langius comprised the queen's court. Blessed with loads of talent, the Seniors decided to present the Broadway success, Ram- shackle Inn . Under the capable leadership of Mr. Richard the play was a sell out . The senior class also controlled a coke machine this year, and it has proved to be a finan- cial success. Another outstanding business venture was the paper drive. WVe shall close our successful year with the Senior Prom, May 22, the Junior-Senior Banquet, june 3, Baccalaureate, June 6, and Commencement, june 10. The Class of '48 has come to the end of its High School career. We wish to thank East Lansing High School for giving us some of The Best Years of Our Lives . 14 KliNNl:I'l'H ICINYARD FUCE IKOIH' hnls off!

King - I anxiously await to hear from them. As they will be tomorrow's leaders in our way of life, let them speak on what they have accomplished this last year. The Class of '49 got off to a conspicuous start this year by electing the following officers: Chuck Hubbard, president, George Prall, vice presidentg Bob Howell, treasurer, and Rosemarie Mooar, secretary. These officers had a large job in front of them to prepare the class for its tasks the next year as seniors. In the spring of last year, Bill YVaddell was elected by the student body as vice president of the student council. Last fall, the class elected Bill Metzel, Larry Cooke, Elwood Ruhl, Jim Harrison, and Chuck Hubbard to be the other active members of the council. The big social event of theiyear was, of course, the annual -I-Hop which this year was titled Opus in Hearts. Music for the dance was furnished by Harmond Burrell and his orchestra. Since the party took place on Valentine Day, February 14, co-chairmen of the dance, Kay Cole and Bob Lewsader, fully carried out the valentine theme in the colorful decorations. During the football campaign, four juniors especially stood out. They were Elwood Ruhl, Tom Otto, ,Bill Metzel, and Bob Ewing. Members of the Class of '49 again stood out as bas- ketball hit the headlines during the winter months. Bill Metzel made the first team, while Bill Waddell and Elwood Ruhl were on the second team. YVhen spring sports rolled around, the juniors again took a leading part in the success of those activities. The class also had its first venture into dramatics when it' presented the junior play on April 23. Many members of the class worked in the cast and on the various committees to make the production a great success. As a money making project, the class held its annual paper drive on the 14th of April. This proved very profitable. To close the year they united with the seniors for the Junior-Senior Banquet and a grand time was had by all those present. It was a fitting close of a great year for juniors. xug 1 5:51 Z' X 'f if I ,T af' 29 UN IORS .W x.,A. 211W-H -f-v C vm ,.f. 4 r-aww l sg3s1s:ss1Qs,M Y' X ' -- 4111 55-siggjf ' - .- fs-as-15 ax, 1. 11 sm .. -. fri-,9- sf-f ,. -1 , 1 1 vga 'Sis s e - 1 ,V -sg mi -4: ' ,QQ jpg 71 i11,,,1' 5 if - 5523 2 ibn.

Xfvllllt news have you brought me con- cerning the future of my empire? Guard - Oh, King, entering into your court today is the Class of '50. I have with me a complete report of their activities over the past year. King - You will deliver it to me. Guard - Last spring- the Class of '50 elected the following students to lead them through the year. They were as follows: president, Dave Thomsong vice president, Donine Stark, secretary, Susan Klaverg treasurer, Janet Matteson. These officers performed very efficiently in bringing the class through a suc- cessful year. The big social event of the year was the Soph Prom, which was presented January 17, under the name of El Borrachof' The price of tickets was a little steep, but most people agreed that they got their money's worth. The music was furnished by Bill Faunce's orchestra. The many committee chair- men and the class as a whole joined hands to make this a fine dance. Also the Class of '50 was well represented on the Senior Student Council by six of its members. They were Nancy Burhans, John Bachman, Dave Hunt, Dean Stoppel, Fen Hicks, and Dave Thomson. They took a very active part in student affairs. Turning to sports, when the call for football sounded in the fall eighteen sophs greeted the coaching staff. John Bachman, Bob Campbell and Ron Eckert made the varsity, while the other fifteen were members of the reserve squad. When winter came, it was basketball and wrestling that took over the spot- light. Fifteen boys reported out for basketball and five for Wrestling. In the cage sport, four of the sophs fought their way to positions on the second team reserves and saw a great deal of action. This spring will find many of the class going out for baseball and track. The Varsity club also was built upon a number of members of the Class of '5O. The class had many people in the band and orchestra and displayed a high degree of school spirit. They look forward to next year to even greater junior activities. 33 OPHOMORES ef' i n 5. -r '- , U Killa- , . -A 3 ' W f ' ' fu rf, 5. , .r ,. 1 . wif--.fr -an Rosemary Adair . , . ,, nf,-wg..

Guard - Oh, King, I wish to present to you the class of '51, who have entered into the upper class for the first time this year. King - I am eager to hear of them, as they are the future leaders of our country. Bid them enter. The freshman class got off to a good start last year when they elected John Richardson, president, Dave Ronk, vice president, Johannah Beurmann, secretary, and Mildred Runnels, treasurer. On October 24, the Class of '51 chartered a bus to go to Hillsdale to see the Twin Valley champs in action. Thirty-five lucky students made the trip only to see the Trojan eleven go down to its only loss of the season. After the game the students went to tl1e hour dance at Hillsdale High School. The freshman football team, coached by Mr. Adams, had a pretty successful season, winning three, tying one, and losing one. The team suffered a mid-season mishap when half-back John Brogan received a fractured collar bone. Mr. Klingman's basketball team has gotten past the class B schools on its schedule, but the class schools have proved to be pretty stiff oppo- sition. The freshman cheer leaders who give the team a great deal of moral support are Joan Adcock, Evelyn Noble, Patty Gregory, Sally Gibson, and Sylvia Sepeter. Representing the class in the Senior Student Council are Bill Voigt, Mildred Runnels, and Dick Doolen from the home rooms and John Richardson as class president. Those representing the band from the freshman class include: Danny Webster, Glenda Stel- son, Bernie Davis, Marilyn Evans, Fred Dawe, Alice Severance, Alice Haack, John Clifford, Putman Robbins, Lee Person, Gerry Conley, George Comden, Francis Reed, Charlotte Edwards, Ann Denington, and Marion Stienbaur. The Class of '51 also was prominent in social activities, as they took an active part in hour dances and sponsored a party of their own. 0 f nz' It X t if l -: I ,.,...L--'- .-- ,isr-'fr- .l-g- x 3 - L..-- 37 FRESHME P' F' 1 i X 1 joan Adcock ,fri i av-wk i x 1 we fi 5 .Y ,.

Group: O King, and valiant Trojans all, let me present to you the Class of '52. At the close of this year, it will become full valiant with all of you. This class has prepared a scroll, which tells you of their year's pursuits. SCROLL - CLASS OF '52 Our class started its eighth grade year by electing the following officers: Dick Davidson, president, jack Herrick, vice-president, Barbara Nlfheeler, secretary, Betty Musselman, treasurer. VVe had two fine class sponsors, Miss Murray and Mrs. Myers, who helped us greatly. Our social life this year started October 30, when we had a seventh and eighth grade Hal- lowe'en party sponsored by the P. T. A. The gymnasium was decorated with pumpkins and corn stalks. Everybody enjoyed the dancing, movies, and games. The refreshments were dough- nuts and cider. A Christmas party, also held in the gym, was sponsored by the junior Student Council. Big snowmen stood by the door and Christmas trees lighted each end of the gymnasi- um. There were dancing and games, and to top it off, there were cokes. On january 30, we had an all class party for the eighth grade. Of course, we had the usual dancing and refreshments. This year, for the first time, the boys got together and formed a glee club and took part in the Christmas program. Another extracurricular activity was junior G. A. A. which met every Friday night. The boys played on intramural teams in basketball, football, baseball, and track. The eighth grade basketball team was outstanding in its playing against junior high teams from other schools. Over half of the eighth graders belong to the Science Club. Eighth graders also worked hard to make the magazine drive a success.

V ' Glen Cain Peter Braddock Who are these strangers who approach the house of the Trojans? VVe are the Class of '53 from East Lansing High School. Group: WVe the Class of '53 are proud to join hands with the king. This past year our class sponsors were Miss Schmieding and Mrs. Kovacs. VVe have appreciated the classroom and ex- tracurricular guidance of our teachers. This year, we established the seventh grade council which replaced the former large group meeting. Members included the four class officers and four representatives from each section of the class. Guard: Who have been your leaders? Group: Our class officers have been Bob Riggs, presidentg Dick Riggs, vice presidentg Don Smith, treasurer, and Barbara Werle, secretary. Guard: Do you bring news with which to entertain his highness? Group: Yes, indeed. Please to give ear. In the fall we attended the Junior High P. T. A. Hallowe'en party in the high school gymnasium. We played games and feasted ourselves up- on doughnuts and really good cider. Fine music for dancing was provided. On December 9, with the Class of '52 we shared the fun at a party sponsored by the Junior Student Council in the gymnasium. Dancing, mixers, and refreshments were the main events. The annual class party was held in the spring. This is a wee bit akin to higher Trojan proms. Certainly we all enjoyed the dancing. But parties are not all our activities. The girls play chinese soccer, newcome, basketball, table tennis, and volley. Even some of the girls are members of G. A. A. The boys play bas- ketball and football, and have numerous relay events. We also have basketball and football leagues. We have participated creditably in all worthy school drives and projects. We are repre- sented in iriuftic, art, and various clubs. Guard: Your report is good. You have much in your favor. You may pass through the portals to join us. 45 X? ji 97 Q,- if-A Danny A Z was-5. if.: .. ...swf :Agri f ii if 555 ji i is .5',,f.22 . ,L . .. ., . .., igffgg ,.?Ys . ,jaw ear W is 'Yi Q K .

BOARD President ---- Dorothy Branaman Senior Recorder - Nancy Burhans junior Recorder Mary Jane Adams This year the two school boards of Girls' Athletic Association have been merged into one with representatives on it from all grades. With Mrs. Thaden as their sponsor, they took charge of all the after school tournament games and kept a record of all the points earned by the association members. In the spring, awards were given to those people who had earned a certain number of points in tournaments and outside sports during the year. The purchase of letters and award pins was made possible by selling frostbites and hot dogs at games and also by sponsoring one of the hour dances. A swimming party at the Lansing Y crowned the year as one of their main social events.

They have catalogued all the new books, have added greatly to the vocations' files and revised the filing system. During the year they were guests of the Sexton and Eastern library clubs at parties in the two schools and also returned the invitation with a party here. All students agree that the staff made our studying easier and better with their fine material and assistance. 59 Boys Glee Club Third Row: B. Horwood, G. Whitson, D, Pomeroy, P. Donnell, J.

This year our new direc- tor, Mrs. Irvin, has given this sixty-five voice glee club many fine opportunities for public performances throughout the entire year. Not only have they put on programs for many community clubs and concerts, but in November they transcribed a radio show to help intro- duce the clothing drive. At Thanksgiving and at Christmas they took part in the annual school programs. Accompanying for Girls' Glee Club this year was done by Janice Button and Kitty Lou Dawe. The Glee Club is to be congratulated for the First Division rating they received with Miss Dooley last spring in the State Festival. , 1947-48 marks the second year that music awards have been given to members of the- vocal department, and this spring many of our musical gals and guys were presented with pins and letters. And now, the male members of the vocal department. Under Mrs. Irvin's direction, the forty members of Boy's Glee Club have worked hard and given a number of splendid per- formances, including those for community clubs, a radio show, and a part in Lhe Thanksgiving and Christmas programs. At State Festival last spring they earned a very fine Second Divi- sion rating. Ed Thaden, our nimble fingered musician, deserves credit for the fine job of ac- companying he has done. In January a group of the members went to Ann Arbor to sing with the All-State Chorus and later to Detroit to be part of the chorus which sang for the National Music Convention. A cappella choir is a special vocal group of students who rehearse for one period each week. In spite of their short rehearsal time they have produced ,some very fine music. Last spring, Miss Dooley's choir received a First Division rating for their outstanding performance in State Festival. 61 Shakespearean Players From left to right, right to left, upside down, down side up, it's all the same. Here we have an example of modern youth?? These lads have done a lot during this past year to keep up the morale of the entire student body.

The play was directed by Mr. YfVarren Richard with the assistance of Barbra Leichty, assistant director, and Fran Hanslovsky, assistant producer. Belinda Pryde, scatter-brained spinster, and her partner, Commodore Lucius Towser, buy a ramshackle inn from Maine Phillips, and unwittingly acquire with it, a gang of bootleggers who use it as their hideout. With the dealings of the bootleggers are mixed the murders of Mr. Arbuthnot, a mysterious roomer at the inn, and Mr. Temple, the town banker. Belinda attempts to solve the mystery and finds herself tangling, not only with Patton, the general handyman, but also with Dr. and Mrs. Steven Russell, who hold as a prisoner Alice Fisher, the moll. Constable Small and Sergeant Gilhooley represent the strong arm of the law. Of course no play would be complete without romance, and in this case it is provided by Bill Phillips, an unjustly convicted thief, and Mary Temple. Further confusion' is added by the presence of Joyce Rogers, who is supposedly waiting for her husband. The climax comes when Fred Porter, of the Coast Guard, arrives on the scene, and is revealed as the head of the bootlegging racket.

The club had eighty-seven members this year. Following this, the first item on the agenda was a tea for the mothers, introducing a Family Rela- tions Program. This was something new in the school, but the club carried the program out very successfully. The girls had a great deal of fun playing Santa Claus at the Children's Home in Lansing to make the children's Christmas gay. Y-Teens also took baskets and gave them presents. They sponsored an hour dance, packed cloth- ing for over seas, and sponsored the Hall Monitors. The club, combined with the Home Economics club sponsored Celestial Ball . The formal was a highlight of the Christmas Season. The officers were Ann Foster, president, Margie Brogan, vice president, Nancy Lostutter, secretary, Janet Mosher, treasurer, and Miss MacDonald, who was a wonderful sponsor. The service chairmen were Diane Metzel and Kay Cole, interrclub council, Charlotte Wellman, co-ed council, Nancy Reed, program chairman, Lois Jac- quarys, worship chairman, Fran Hanslovsky, music chairman, Bobbie Rinkes, publicity chairman, and Pat Brennen, social chairman. 67 Home Ec Club The social and service calendar was crammed full this year for the ever active Home Economics Club. The year got under way with a big dues drive. Sides were chosen and the team that got their dues paid first made the other team give them a bohemian. Celestial Ball was the first formal of the year sponsored by the Home Ec and Senior Y-Teens Clubs. This being the first year the formal was combined, co-chairmen were appointed. The ball turned out to be one of the biggest formal in quite some time. At Christmas time, baskets were sent to needy families and a party was given for the children at Sparrow Hospital. To raise money for all these worthy projects, bake goods and candy sales were held by the members of the club. As a service project, newspapers were folded for the hospital, and refresh- ments served to all football playersg while on the intellectual side, speakers were obtained to speak on different countries, and war brides talked to the club. Hay-rides and several hour dances were sponsored throughout the year, topped off by a picnic given with the Senior Y-Teens Club in the spring. All this was carried on by Janie Olin, president, and her fine corps of officers which include: Ann Winton, vice president, Rosemary Wise, secretaryg and Diane Metzel, treasurer. The worthy sponsors were Mrs. Artutis and Mrs. Branaman. 68 . , f Q sa 1, is if J 1 - L t s M ,QQ flgfg, j , ::M -- ,Ejn:j . ' ' 'wifi if-gffgy, , :iffy W ig ,qnk ,:.,, .,.,, Q .V . , .

A great deal has been accomplished in the line of service. Posters were made for the Y-Teen shoe drive, while at Christmas, packages were wrapped for the Tuberculosis Sani- torium.

The club sponsored a colossal clothing drive for Europe. They had over a thousand pounds to send overseas. Selling East Lansing High School beanies, pennants, and T-shirts, plus selling pop and sponsoring an hour dance after the Albion game, were some of their many activities of the year. The club attended the district Hi-Y meeting at the Lansing School for the Blind, and participated in the Basketball Tournament made up of the school in this district. At the top of their list of social activities was the camping trip to Mystic Lake near Clare in February. They also attended an Older Boys Conference at Flint. They held a closed dance for members and their dates, and had a hayride in the spring. They had several speakers during the year from Michigan State College including Mr. MacCaffree, swimming coach, Mr. Slatterman, head track coach, Mr. Collins, wrestling coach and Dale Faunce, Men's Counsellor.

' A bohemian dinner for the entire football team started the year off in September, followed in October by a father and son bohemian for the Varsity squad. At the close of the season, the annual football banquet was held under the direction of the Varsity Club assisted greatly by the mothers and dads of the team. In December twenty-seven new members were initiated into the club by both formal and informal initiation. The total membership was forty-three. The officers elected were Bob Foster, president, John Dykstra, vice president, and Howard Weaver, secretary-treasurer. f ' Th club furnished ushers for all football and basketball games and provided cokes for both contesting teams. The members of the Varsity Club ushered at the State Finals in basketball. In February an ever memorable bohemian and hayride was held for all members and their guests. Sponsoring the club is Mr. Ketchman with Mr. Buschman. Mr. Adams, Mr. Kiebler, and Dr. Britton as honorary members. 73 Pan American Club Fourth Row: Y' Nheeler, G. WVhitson, B Paredes, T. Eck, O.

They started out with a big Spanish banquet and initiation of the new members. Diane Metzel was elected president while Ben Parades and Ronnie Penner were elected vice president and secretary-treasurer respectively. The club consists of forty active members who are interested in knowing more about the customs and language of their South American neighbors. Under the direction of Mrs. Johnston the club had many interesting social and service activities. The high spots of the year were the making of scrap books on our high school and community, which were Sent to the high schools in South America, and the big Sombrero Swing dance, which took place during Pan American Week. During the year the club sponsored several hour dances, the big one being the Hallowe'en Dance given after the Cold- water game. Red Drennan and his orchestra furnished the music. Free dough- nuts given away throughout the evening. Topping the year off was the big Language banquet with the Latin and French Clubs. With the fine spirit shown this year, the Pan Americ of its most successful years. an Club had one 74 Grey, J Le Dejeuner B Schell, R. Kohls, L. Lyman, M. Hirn, N. Third Row: . . YV. Garrigan, P.

This is a new experience for the club and a very worthy one too. This project got under way early this year under the direction of Mrs. Johnston, and is now the most important part of the club. The child is twelve years old and receives two packages a month filled with clothes, food, and lux- uries. Candy sales and hour dances are two ways of raising money for filling the boxes. A steady correspondence is also carried on between the club and their child. This en- ables them to know more about the ways of the people and the conditions in modern France. Bohemians are held frequently under the supervision of Barbara and Louise Black, who are Program Chairmen. French games and songs are enjoyed by the members at these informal meetings. This club is one of the youngest clubs of the school and under Mary Anne Languis, who was elected president, Virginia Young, vice president, and Mary Lou DeGolia, sec- retary-treasurer, it is off to a good start and promises to be one of the most active clubs l. in the schoo 75 Band and Orchestra Club Fifth Row: R.

' The Band and Orchestra Club made a fine come back this year after a few years of being inactive. The club started with a very impressive formal ini- tiation boasting fifty-one members. The club sponsored a fine winter concert and also a spring concert. They chartered two buses to send the band to Hillsdale to play and to send the orchestra as a treat. It had interesting meetings with guest speakers from the college and movies on music. The club had a concession at the State Band and Orchestra Festival, which was held in East Lansing. Early February found two hundred seventy-five Band and Orchestra Club parents and families enjoying a bohemian in the school gymnasium, followed by a mock rehearsal of the band and the orchestra. Later in the year the mem- bers of the club, together with the parents, held a rummage sale and paper sale, the profits being used for musical equipment. The club has done a great deal to further musical appreciation in our school program this past year. Mr. Rinehart was the sponsor of the club, and its officers were Dick Ingersoll, president, Carlton Sellhorn, vice president, Diane Metzel, secretaryg and Ruth Weaver, treasurer. 76 y unior Hi Hobby Club Third Row: J.

They have been busy socially, too. Some of their activities were the Christ- mas party and several informal meetings at the homes ol members. Of course, the biggest accomplishment of the year was learning bridge fun- damentals. SHIRLEY VVHEELER BETSY RICHARDS President Secretary MRS. KOVACS Sponsor 77 Radio Club Second Rozu: B. Baltzer, E.

After a three year absence, the Trojan squad brought the Twin Valley Championship Trophy to the hallowed halls of East Lansing High School. With practice starting September lst, it gave Coach Sam Ketchman but three weeks to round out his starting eleven to face their first Twin Valley tilt against Albion. Showing tremendous drive and spirit which was to carry the Trojans through the season, Coach Ketchman's boys showed fine early season form by defeating A1bion's Buttons 25 to 9. The following week East Lan- sing won the hard fought battle against Sturgis by scoring late in the fourth quarter to gain a 9 to 0 victory. As the men from Troy looked to their third game they found they faced the last year Championship team, Marshall. Playing alert, hard football the Trojan team scored in the first and again in the fourth quarter to turn in its most prized victory of the season by defeating the Red- skins 12 to 0. The next week the Trojans made it four straight by winning from Adrian 13 to 6. As the mighty Trojan machine rolled on it swept in Battle Creek Lakeview by the score of 25 to 0 to make its fifth straight win, The following week the Trojans had their letdown. An underestimated Hills- dale squad fought out a 13 to 6 win over the Trojans for their only defeat of the year. As the Trojans swung into their sixth game they bounced back to the winning form they had missed the week before and defeated Coldwater 13 to 6 to win a most glorious Twin Valley Championship. To round out a most successful year the Trojans showed their Championship form against their only non-conference game by defeating Alma 18 to 7. 82 .S LW.. ., ,...,..,, . , ,... , ,k r W segiefef-Q , was-rw sf . .ff5fI'S?F - .f ' 'E' Ti 'Vive - ..

John was voted most valuable played for the season and also was elected to the All Conference Team. Weighing 195 pounds, John did wonders on constantly stopping up the opposition plays. Although somewhat bothered by a sore back, John was in there all the way. DAN REED, Senior, End. Dan was elected captain for the season and was also voted Captain of the All Conference first eleven. Dan proved most valuable on receiving passes, but his speed and defense were even more of an asset to the team. JACK GREENSHIELD, Senior, Back. Jack, weighing 170 pounds and standing 6'2 , did most of the heavy running and kicking during the season. He was elected to the All Conference backfield and also led the team by scoring the most touchdowns and extra points. JIM HERRICK, Senior, Tackle. Jim was the iron man of the team and a bulwark of defense. Standing 6'3 and weighing 175 pounds, you never heard much from Jim, but he was always there fighting until the end. Jim won a berth on the second team All Conference. JAKE SLOTNICK, Senior, End. It seems as if Jake caught too many passes in the Albion game, for he was watched very close from then on. Jake was one of the spark plugs of the line and was always in there with good hard block- ing and tackling. JIM MORSE, Senior, Back. Jim had a lot of trouble with a broken ankle but when he was in shape, did a great job on offense. Although small, Jim had the drive to get in there and gain those extra yards. Jim also did some of the passing. JIM JOHNSON, Senior, Guard. Jim played on the offensive team and did a bang up job. He could open up the defensives at just the right time. Jim had a little trouble keeping his hands in the right place at the right time. HOWARD WEAVER, Senior, End. Howie, although not a starter, saw a lot of action in most all of the games. Howie showed well against Lakeview on his end arounds, and his defensive work all season was excellent. BOB KROPSCHOT, Senior, Guard and Tackle. Bob filled in the middle of the line on defense and did a fine job. Bob was not very heavy, but made up for it with his scrappiness. He weighed 170 pounds and stood 6'2 . BOB FOSTER, Senior, Back. Bob called the signals for the team and did a fine job. He was an excellent blocker and team player. His punt returns were exceptionally good against Coldwater. Bob was also placed on the second team All Conference. 83 .9 9, -7 me -...N ,, . i if ,S-if 91' KY' f . --' of ,fl , .55ii.a. . r . ce ELWOOD RUHL, junior, Center. Elwood shaped into a fine center this fall, and Coach Ketchman will be counting on him next year. I-Ie did a good job on backing up the line and made some timely pass interception against Marshall. PAT WHITE, Senior, Center. Although Pat weighs only I55 lbs. he was an aggressive player. He was always in there plugging and when he finally did get his chance against Alma, he received a bad sprain which kept him from playing most of the game. BOB EWING, junior, Back. When jim Morse was injured Bob stepped in and did an excellent job on offensive and defensive work. Bob's passing arm was one of the greatest in the conference, and should prove very valuable to the coach next year. BILL METZEL, junior, Back. Bill played excellent ball as a line back and made a good share of tackles throughout the season. He also filled in very capably at calling plays. DON KILLEEN, Senior, Manager. Don was the go-getter of the team. Always with a laugh and on the run, he was of great help to the whole squad. JOE WHEELER, Senior, Bark. joe was used as the utility man of the team until the Alma game. On his first varsity play, Joe ran for a clean cut touch- down. He also did some of the kicking off. BOB HORVVOOD, Senior, Guard. Bob was a very hard working guard and truly earned his berth on the first team. On offense he could always be counted on to open up the center of the defensive line. TOM OTTO, junior, Back. Tom was a hard hitting fullback and could be counted on for the extra two or three yards. He played fine ball until he in- jured his knee and was out for a few games. DAN BURLINGAME, Senior, Manager. Dan did an excellent job keeping tab of all the equipment. He was very efficient and a great help to the coach and the boys. HENRY RATHER,. Senior, Trainer. Hank was by far the greatest trainer the school has ever had. He was always there to take care of the bumps and cuts the boys received. 84 .. fl . .t'..

Reserve and Freshman Football The reserve squad, coached by Mr. Buschman, had a seven game schedule this fall. They won five out of the seven losing twice to a strong Lansing Sexton team. The freshman squad, coached by Mr. Adams, won three, tied one and lost one to give a fine showing of the up and coming athletes. 85 y Coaching Staff MR. KETCHMAN -Director of Athletics In his two short years, Coach Ketchman has accomplished much. As head football coach in his first year here his team placed second in the Twin Valley Conference, and this year he coached the team to the championship. During the basket- ball seasons Coach Ketchman has led the reserve cagers through two very successful seasons. At the helm of the baseball team, Mr. Ketchman has turned out a championship and a second place team in the Conference. Although Coach Ketchman worked the fellows very hard, he has gained the utmost respect of all who have come in con- tact with him on and off the athletic field. MR. BUSCHMAN - Basketball Coach As head basketball coach last year, Mr. Buschman led his squad to a highly successful season, with the team playing in the State Semi Final Game. This year he has worked hard with the fellows and at this time the team is third in the Con- ference race. Coach Buschman is also coach of the reserve foot- ball squad and has completed two fine seasons in that position. In the spring he coaches Tennis and has recently taken over the job as boys' counsellor for the school. MR. ADAMS - Track Coach In his long years at East Lansing Coach Adams has brought many trophies to the school through his track teams. During the spring practices one may hear the report of his famous starting gun. Through football season Mr. Adams may be seen running the Freshman Squad through their drill. DOCTOR BRITTON Doctor Britton has been associated with East Lansing High School Athletic teams for many, many years. Through his untiring service he has become a permanent fixture of the school. So permanent, that this year our lighted football field was named in his honor. Doc , as he is known to all, is always on hand to give his time and skill to help the fellows. At the games he has become as much a part of the squad as the coaches and players themselves. Yes, we from East Lansing take our hats off to one of the finest men in the world, Doctor C. H. Britton. Other members of the coaching staff are Mr. Rinehart of band and orches- tra fame, who coaches our fine golf team. In wrestling we find Mr. Cole, from Michigan State College, who coaches the up and coming major sport. 86 if 'Q A i Varsity Basketball Back Row: Coach Buschman, B. Foster, J. Greenshield, J.

The basketball season is about done, so let's take a brief look into the records to see what kind of team East Lansing had. First we find a hard working coach-Mr. Buschman. Next there are the players - tall, experienced, and intent. But last, and far from least, 'is this thing called team spirit, which we find was at times lacking, for the team came out with a record of eleven won and six lost. To open the season the Trojans met Lansing Tech on the Panther court and walked off with an impressive 49-26 win. That same week the big test came when the Trojans enter- tained their first Twin Valley team, Hillsdale. After a hard fought contest the game was a tie, however in overtime playing E. L. cagers came out with a prized 39-38 victory. Next away in a close game with Sturgis, li. L. met defeat 44-40. At this date Christmas vacation started and the team prepared for the Lansing area tour- naments. In the first game the Trojans defeated Lansing Everett on the Vocational floor 35-32. The following night the team walked off with the championship, defeating Lansing Tech by the lopsided score of 53-39. Back in their regular schedule the Trojans took on Coldwater, the league leading team, and were defeated 53-48. In the same week they bounded back and beat a strong Marshall squad 53-51. The next two games were victories: 54-30 with Albion and 51-30 with Adrian. At the half way mark in the season, the Trojans suffered defeats: first, with Battle Creek Lakeview 44-425 second, with Hillsdale, losing in the last few seconds 35-33. At home the squad played Sturgis and evened its count by winning 35-24. Playing a second time that week, the Trojans went to Adrian where they took the Maples 43-27. Again away, the cagers played the undefeated Coldwater team. After playing a nip and tuck game, the Cardinals pulled away to win a 47-35 victory. In the last away game of the season the team defeated Marshall 39-26. To finish off at home, the Trojans first played the second place conference team, Lakeview, and lost 64-38. Second, they defeated Albion 39-35. And so the records go, we have a completed season. During the time we had many outstanding players. Jim Herrick, the leading scorer of the team, really put on many fine performances. Jack Greenshield, Jack Slotnick, Jim Delaney, and Jim Thomson all added their share by coming through when the team needed points. Now as we go to press, the school is looking forward with great anticipation to what this fine team can do in the State Tournaments. Wfhether they win or lose they have still corn- pleted a successful season. 87 Baseball ri-,ff ' i 19 , . 'fd , W 5 , 51 LAN5g Q.

The l947 baseball team enjoyed a highly successful season. The big blues sched- uled nine games and won six, losing only three. This fine record placed the team sec- ond in the Twin Valley Conference. The Trojans stepped up to the plate to hammer out a 2-0 win against Coldwater in their opening game out at the East Lansing diamond. The following week Adrian journeyed to East Lansing to edge out the Trojans 2-l in a hard fought pitchers' battle. The Trojans took to the road for their third game, taking the short trip down to Lan- sing Tech. Here the big blues' bats connected and the team pounded out a 5-l win. Again the next week the Trojans' bats blazed as Albion fell by the score of 7-1 on the big blues' home field. The following week the Trojans played a return game with the Panthers of Lansing Tech. at the East Lansing diamond. The team hit a slump and with several errors came out on the short end of a 5-2 score, making it the second loss in five starts. At this point the Trojans journeyed to Lakeview to play the league leading nine. Here the big blues played a hard fought game, only to lose in the last inning of play, by the score of 3-2. Then the Trojans came to life, winning their last three games in fine shape. Marshall was first, falling by a close 3-2 score. Next came a rather weak Hillsdale nine. The men of Troy blasted out a 5-0 win on the Hornets' home field. In the last game of the season the Trojan squad. under the fine coaching of Mr. Ketchman, beat a strong Sturgis team 2-l to finish a highly successful year. Some of the outstanding players of the season were johnny Meyer, star pitcher and heavy hitterg Charlie Hoffer and Cary Bachman, hard working infielders. Bob Buchan- an, a fine outfielderg and Ronnie Penner, the second baseman, who lead the team in hitting. Although Coach Ketchman lost six men off this squad, he should produce another great team this coming spring. Coach Ketchman has such men returning as Ron Penner, Bob Kropschot, Bill Metzel, Pat White, and Bob Ewing from which to build his 1948 baseball team. 90 Track Third Row: Mr. Adams, D. Thomson, C.

As the first signs of spring were approaching, Coach Lynn Adams was hard at work setting the stage for the 1947 track season. And what a stage it was. There were three dual meets scheduled, two invitationals, the Twin Valley meet and the Regional and State meets, but the boys were good actors and they went to work. First came the dual meet with W'i1liamston. The Trojan Thinclads swept to a deci- sive victory 865 to 225. Next came Charlotte. The Orioles out-pointed our boys in the -distances and came out on the long end of a 67-U6 to 41-516 victory. The fol- lowing week the Thinclads traveled to the Hastings Relays and were hopelessly out-classed, coming out twelfth in a field of sixteen. Bouncing back the following week, the Troj- ans defeated one of their old rivals, Howell, by the very close and exciting score of 55 to 54. At the last meet before the Twin Valley, the men of Troy placed seventh out of a field of eighteen at the Albion Invitational meet. On May 14 the Trojan Thinclads journeyed to Marshall for the big Twin Valley meet. The boys were primed for the occasion and brought back many surprise victories in various events. Joe VVheeler set a new meet record in both high and low hurdles. YVhen it was all over and the points were counted up, the Trojans had 42M to place third in the field of eight. The Regional meet at Mt. Pleasant proved a little too tough with East Lansing plac- ing third behind two strong teams, Fremont and Alma. Competing at the State meet, the Trojans had Joe VVhee1er in the hurdles, Bob Pierson in the 440 yard run and the relay team of Dan Reed, Howard Metzmaker, Dale Lockwood and Bob Pierson. Although the Trojan delegation failed to place, they came very close in each event. In the coming season Mr. Adams may well look forward to a successful year. Out of his last year's squad he loses only three men. A brief glance over the returning squad sees men returning in almost all events. Yes, the 1948 season should contain some prized victories for Coach Adams and his Thinclads. 91 T 1 Cheer Leaders - - - 'Come on team fight. Come on, team, fight! That's just one example of the swell job our cheer leaders have been doing all through the year. Under the sponsorship of the Senior Student Council, these peppy gals and fellows have been divided into three groups-varsity, reserve, and freshman-and can be found at any and every game leading cheers for their respective teams. They have been represented on the pep assem- bly committee and have taken an active part in almost all pep assemblies. Did you ever wonder where We developed all that school spirit? It doesn't take as much to stir it up as it does to organize it and make those yells something we can all be proud of! t Three cheers for the cheer leaders! Ye Old Testament I, CAROL MOORE, breathlessly bestow Senior GAA upon Lenore Fulkerson. I, ELLEN PARSONS, sorrowfully leave the care of my horses to Barbara Mlerle. I, HENRY RATHER, tlll'll the radio programs back to John's Other VVife. I, HAROLD RATHFOOT, sadly hand down my jokes in hopes that some- one, some day will laugh at them. I, GARY RICHARDS, bequeath my Herculean shoulder pads to my brother, Marlowe. I, BOB SCOTT, regretfully leave my photographic equipment-and experi- ences - to Bill Dietrich. I, JAKE SLOTNICK, bestow my little black address book upon anyone heading for Detroit and parts there about. I, JOE SUR, hereby grant my record collection to Paul VVhiteman. I, DONNA THOMPSON, give my turtle-neck sweaters back to the turtles -- who need them more than I do. I, BOB VANHOESON, leave my last name to anyone who can pronounce it correctly. I, HOWYIE WEAVER, bestow my tennis racket upon jack Kramer. I, JEANNE WERLE, confer upon Erich Beurmann my lengthy locks. I, PAT VVHITE, do hereby will my afternoons at Steve's to the rest of the Recreation Parlor athletes. 94 A Wail There they sat all twenty and pondered, Ne'er an eye from the table wandered. Suddenly up jumped the master, Talking fast and even faster. Said the genius, I have a plan! Let's start our yearbook while we can. All eyes turned upon the girl, All heads gave a merry twirl. Each one nodded his approval, Each one started his removal, To a work with dead line date, Thus her plan she did relate. First they found a good photographer, One of them became a biographer, One took snapshots left and right, Others pasted - day and night, Janie told them to do their best, She gave them but little rest. Time slipped past as all time will, Days - e'en weeks with each their fill Of dashing. Writings to be done, Pictures, dummies - they missed none Copy, copy! Bring more copy. Typists made the keys look loppy XVith their typing and their hurry. Deadlines kept them in a flurry. March first came just like a dream, Ceniad's done! the staff did scream. All fell down into a swoon, Didn't wake 'til nearly june. Now the Ceniad's done at last, All the drudgery is past. Here's the Ceniad, for you, HOPE YOU'I.L ALL ENJOY IT TOO!
