Seniors Guard - Oh, worthy E1nperor! The Class of '48 is ready to go out into the great world. They wish to say a few parting words. 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
