1952 LOG OF H.H.S.” In the fall of 1948 a full crew boarded the good ship “H. H. S. Saxon” and embarked on the stormy four year “journey of education.” Ship’s officers were immediately elected. Lawrence Ut- by Janet Burroughs, first mate; Georgina Dunn, ter took over the captaincy and was ably assisted log-keeper; and Dorothea Trinklein, purser. Mr. Damson and Mrs. Burkle, as advisors, were cho- sen to help guide the ship’s course. In the fall try-outs, Marian Pierce was the only feminine crew member who won a position on the cheerleading squad. In the Spotlight the freshman class wa well represented by Mary Lou Kaechele, who gave a monologue; and the freshman girls quartet, con- sisting of Connie Herman, Elaine Reinhardt, Joyce Will, Joan Burr, and accompanist, Marian Pierce. A large number of seamen took advantage of the ship’s recreational facilities for football and basketball. While none won awards, they gathered valuable experience for their future years on the H. H. S. gridiron and basketball court. Eighteen feminine crew-members, not to be outdone by the boys, distinguished themselves in G. A. A. sports activities. The conclusion of the first semester found three plebes, Edward Bush, Helen Frandsen, and Dorothea Trinklein, leading the class in scholar- ship with all “A” records. Second semester elections found Addison Brink at the captain’s position; Al Belsito, his able first mate; Ed Bush keeping the log; and Mary Lou Kaechele acting as purser. In the spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of. . . baseball, track, tennis, and golf, and the “middies of ’52” were no exception. Four seamen won letters; Ernie Tooker, Addison Brink, and Lynn Beadle in baseball and Jack Burchett in track. Having remained in port for the three summer months the “H. H. S. Saxon” set sail once again in September of 1949. Al Belsito took charge of the ship with Ed Bush as first mate. Georgina Dunn, as yeoman, began keeping the log, and Evelyn Bryans took care of the money affairs. Marian Pierce again was the only representative from the class of ’52 on the cheerleading squad. During the football season one crew member, Harris Everett, plnved on the varsity stiund and received a letter for his efforts. Many crewmen gathered experience on th J. V. squad which for several was the stepping stone to the varsity team and a letter. In the annual Spotlight production, Dick Waite surprised all comers with his imitations of Al Jol- son; Harris Everett performed on the harmonica; and the girls sextette, of which four members were crewmen from the class of ’52, sang two selections. As snow began to fall, all thoughts were chan- neled towards basketball. When the season opened sailor Lynn Beadle was found in a prominent position on the varsity squad. Later in the year Jim Myers, a fellow crewman, joined him anti both won varsity awards at the end of the season. Jim Wingerden, Herb Beadle, Al Belsito, Ed Bush, and Gerald Merrill showed up well on the reserves. At the conclusion of the first semester Jean Ann Myers was the only midshipman to com- mand an all “A” record. At the end of January, 1950 Ed Bush took over the captaincy, and was assisted by Jack Burchett as first mate. Yeoman Joan Burr and purser Mar- gery Cordes completed the list of officers. In February the sophs sponsored a dance, “Sweethearts Frolic”, which was in commemora- tion of Valentine’s Day. The middies turned out in large numbers for spring sports. S'x crewmen, Ernie Tooker, Russ Keech, Jim Myers, Al Belsito, Lynn Beadle, and Ken Pranshka earned letters in baseball; while Dave McGlocklin, Jack Burchett, Verlyn Knowles, and Harris Everett garnered track monograms. Jim Jaynes was the sole representative from the class of ’52 to win a letter in tennis. Another three months in port, and the sea- soned voyagers found themselves upperclassmen. Dick Ashdon became captain and Jim Myers, first mate. Georgina Dunn kept the log and Helen Frandsen acted as purser. Two other crew members served as all-school officers. Judy Stem was Public Service Chief and lack Burchett, Sanitary Commissioner. The gridiron attracted a number of noddies. For their efforts, Harris Everett, Mel Basler, Gerald Merrill, Les Altoft, and Jack Drum re- ceived letters. In cross country two other crew- men, Jim Wingerden and Jim Myers, received letters. Sailor Marian Pierce captained the cheerlead- ing squad. Marietta Haywo d also excelled as a “yell-leader.” Marian served on the Home-coming Queen’s court also. Two other girls, Peggy Schleiss and Ann Miller, showed up veil as drum majorettes. In November the class sponsored an all-school dance, the “Hillbilly Hop” which was enjoyed by many. At the annual Ag-He exposition three middies of ’52 won trips to Chicago. They were Ken Pranshka, Russell Golden, and Dick Cotant. At the conclusion of the football season, all at- tention was focused on the basketball court. Eight juniors, Lynn Beadle, Jim Myers, Dick Castelein, Herb Beadle, Al Belsito, Jim Wingerden, Gerald Merrill, and Ed Bush won letters. Lynn was voted a position on the all-conference team. At the close of the first semester two midship- men, Dorothea Trinklein and lean Ann Myers, received straight “A” records.
