Sponsored by LACROSSE REPAIR JOHN HATTEMER DEDICATIO As a token of our appreciation for the many favors rendered to us, we the annual staff, dedicate this 1953 edition of Tiger Tracks to the town of Lacrosse. We realize that without the support of our athletic teams, the attendance at our plays, games, and activities, and the financial support given us by the people of the La- crosse area, our school days as we know them would indeed be impossible. -M M L. to R, SEATEID: Marilyn Guske, Maryette Miller, Kenneth Langley, Don Copp, Phyllis Garhergp June Sather, STANDING: Sherry Camp, Gael Tower, Greta Herman, John Krom, Claudia Krom, Jeanette Broeckel, Larry Camp, Arnie Neace, Mr. Deal, advisor, Gerald Guske. NNUAL STAFF The annual staff has endeavored to present here on these pages a record of friendships of the play and of the work which make up a high school year, in the hope that the memories of it will never be lost to you who have lived it.

When shall we three meet a-gain ' In thunder, lightning and in rain? ll The close of a school year, of which the publication of the annual is one of several memorable occasions, always contains a parting. It is .through the pages of this book that many events of the year may be renewed and friends remembered. Best wishes to all of you and especially to the class not 1953, graduates of Lacrosse High, for which these pages will carry special memories. Milford Crowley SCHOOL BOARD Once again we wish to give special recognition to our school board for the work that makes our school system possible.

It just so happened that at that time 17 bright G unsuspecting little freshmen were born into the world of higher education. We were progressing very nicely when the Seniors put a diaper banner up for us. Initiation Day! We all survived, but we're not mentioning in what condi- tion. So we were-now no longer considered green, but just Frosh. Our class selected red and white for our colors, red roses for our flower, and Grumblers never work and workers never grumble as our motto. Guides through this year were Laurie Gordon and John Krom as pres-idents and Mrs. Martin as our advisor. Our Sophomore year proceeded very quietly. We did feel greatly relieved G also just a little bit sorry for the incoming Frosh. whom we initiated. We knew what they were in for, even if they didn't.. We sold refreshments at basketball games and at a square dance. Many of our class pur- chased rings. Mr. Koorenny our advisor, and June Sather and John Krom, our presidents guided us well through that successful year. When we returned to school in the fall of '51 we were dismayed to find that Tom Newell, Janet Wigen, Oris Slind, and Lucille Emheiser had been lost from our class. These loses were soon for- gotten however as we had added up Kenneth Langley, Maryette Miller, Don Hansen, and Earl Alley to the class. This was a busy year, laden with such activities as the Junior Prom, Shine on Har- vest Moon, the waffle feed and party connected with the Junior Play, The Night of Januaryl6th, and the traditional Junior-Senior Party in the spring. Mr. Ellis our advisor, and Don Hansen and Kenneth Langley our presidents had skillfully handled the jobs given them. . As L..I-l.S. opened its doors once more in fall of '52 we suddenly realized that now we were the high and mighty seniors. The officers elected to guide us through this most memorable year were : it ADVISOR: Mr. Dick Ellis Kenneth Langley PRESIDENT Earl Alley Jack Ferris VICE PRESIDENT Jerry Lust June Sather SECRETARY Myrna Shaver Maryette Miller TREASURER Myrna Shaver Phyllis Garberg STUDENT COUNCIL. REP. , Claudia Scholz Our first big activity was the presentation of our play A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, which turned out to be a huge success. In November we journeyed to Spokane to see The Night of January l6th put on at North Central High School. Our class won the honor of first place in the class basketball tournament. The Senior Ball, Memory Lane was a project that brought us lots of work but also a lot of fun. Sandwiched in between the activities of spring sports, the ordering of cards and announcements, and getting our pictures taken was the senior sneak. Three glorious days were spent at the Bar-M rcmch, horseback riding, swimming, hiking andhgenerally having a grand time. As we look from this wonderful senior year into a future of college, armed services, employment or home making, we realize that our years here have been some of the best of our lives.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY What would you do if you woke up in King Arthur's Court during the l5th cen- tury? This situation was met by John Krom,who played the part of the Connecti- cut Yankee in the senior class play, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. This Play, presented the 21st of November, was directed by Dick Ellis, the class advisor. Dianne Wigen, as Queen Guenever, offered an excellent characterization of a domineering queen whopractically ran the good-natured and somewhat discouraged King Arthur, Earl Alley. Claudia Scholz as Queen Morgan Le Fay, the scheming, black-hearted woman, sent shivers up and down your spine. Her villainous partner was none other than the magician Merlin, portrayed by Kenneth Lang- ley. Sandy, Elaine, and Charlotte, played by Myrna Shaver, Maryette Miller,and June Sather, were three charming young ladies of the court who tried hard to understand the 20th century miracles that Hank, the yankee, produced. Marion, Hank's sister, was breezily and happily played by Phyllis Garberg, and Mrs. Bennett, Hank's mother, was expertly handled by Clyledee Mattus. Clarence, the mischievous page boy, was played with a great deal of vigor by Alvin Broeckel, while David Hubbard and Jerry Lust showed how they would have been excellent knights of old in the roles of Sir Sagramor and Sir Launcelot. Dale Mays, as Galahad, the soap salesman, and Jack Ferris, as Gawain the football coach, brought forth many chuckles as they tried their best to please Hank. Lighting and props were carefully handled by Loren Meadows, Larry Camp, and Don Hansen.

We owe our sincere thanks and grat- itude to those grade and high school teachers who have so ably and so pa- tiently guided us along the road to graduation. We have had a great deal :of fun among ourselves and with those who have been added to our class.

Sponsored by McSWEENEY TRACTOR CO, Colfax SENIOR CLASS PROPH ECY As I turn on my radio-television set, in the year of 1973, I see Earl Alley, the announ- cer, is getting ready to interview his fellow classmates. First on his list I see the inauguration of the 40th president of the United States, Ken- neth Langley. Also appearing with President Langley is his secretary Phyllis Garberg. Next I see Dianne Wigen with the --Oh! But I must be seeing things. This just can't be. But it's true. She's taken the place of Louella Parsons with the Hollywood News. First on her show I see Myrna Shaver rated as one of I-lollywood's ten women with the pret- tiest hairin the world. Next I see Jerry Lust recently starringin his newest picture Strictly Disagreeable. Claudia Scholz is in the spot light now modeling her newest creation of a dinner dress called You name it, you can have it. We now pause for station identification and I see Larry Camp and Maryette Miller with their eighteen children advertising Pet Milk. It' s cheaper by the dozen fand a halfl so they say. Now .I see the Sports Review coming into sight. June Sather has just dyed her hair red and has joined with the Red Heads, professional girl's basketball team. But what have we here? .It's John Krom and Alvin Broeckel refereeing the game. Professionals at that. As I glance up in the grandstand, I see the head football coach of W.S.C., Loren Mea- dows, talking to the all star wrestler David Hubbard. Imagine! A football coach talking to an all star wrestler. What cr combination! Since it's the half time of the basketball game, I think I'll turn to channel 27. I see Jack Ferris, a shorthorn steer -- I mean with a shorthom steer, getting it ready for the Livestock Show. Looking across the fence, I see Dale Mays, who has taken over his dad's farm, raking leaves off his lawn. Such a hard worker. A new's flash has just flashed! The Seattle Last National Bank has just been robbed. And ,to think Don Hansen is the President of the company, and Clyledee Mattus, the head teller who was robbed. Well, here is our announcer again and this time it's -- doggone that static! I guess I'vei had enough television for one evening anyway. Sponsored by PERRY 8.

David MCwhi1'tel' This year the Junior class took another step toward their long awaited goal of graduating. Starting the year with 19 members, the class was diminished to 17 by the end of the year. Daimond Flemming left school to work on his father's wheat farm in September, and Gerald Slind moved to Seattle in February. ' With Mr. Koorenny as their advisor, the Juniors successfully completed two of the biggest 'tasks of any class, the Junior Prom and the Junior Play. The Junior Prom was held October 18 in the gym. The theme, Slow Boat to China , was carried out in Chinese style. A false ceiling was made of crepe paper streamers in the class colors, purple and gold. Hanging from the ceiling were colored Chinese lanterns. Chinese pictures and figures decked the walls. The Music Makers of Farmington, seated inside a mock-up Chinese junk, were set off by a backdrop picturing a Chinese village. The beauty of a Chinese garden made the evening complete. The Juniors treated the Seniors to the traditional Junior-Senior party in the spring.

JU IOR CLASS PLAY Under the direction of Erwin Koorenny the Class of 54 presented Cheaper by the Dozen, March 20, 1953 at 8:00 P.M. in the High School Auditorium. The play portrayed the everyday family life of the Gilbreths of Montclair, its smiles, troubles, sorrows, and tears. Don Copp portrayed Dad, always trying to improve the house- hold to make it more efficient, for the housekeeper, Mrs. Fitzgerald, while Mother, Grace Henley, was the quiet understanding type, a knack which Dad could not grasp. The six boys: Frank, Gael Towers: Bill, Reuben Stuecklep Dan, Dan Kylloy Fred, Bill Bongersplwillie, Bill Baldwin, and Jackie, Warren Horton, could not understand why the three oldest daughters Anna, Carolyn Guskey Ernestine, Greta Herman: and Martha, Sherry Camp: were so interested in boys. I..illian, Marilyn Guske was the quiet one who stood back and seemed to be soaking everything in. Dad had been invited to a Conference in London, the family doctor, Doc. Burton, Marvin Rudolph, confirmed his ideas of going. Everything was upset when teacher, Miss Brill, Jean- ette Broeckel came to give some examinations to the children, for dad had always wanted them to advance in their grades at school. To add to the confusion Anne started dating the boys, two of which were Joe Scales, the cheerleader David McWhirter and Larry, Arnie Neace. All in all everything turned out fine. Dad got to go to London and Anna graduated earlier than any of the other kids in the Senior Class at Montclair High.

Then on September.11 it happened- initiation. Confusion reigned as the boys appeared in evening gowns, high-heels, jewelry, and even make-up. The girls, who usually wear these things, showed up in overalls, men's shirts, cmd work shoes. Even their hair styles had been changed to a modern creation which called for no less than 20 pigtails. Both boys and girls were required to wear a pepper on a -string around their necks. To complete the initiation, the Sophomores sponsored an all-high party that evening. It next fell upon the Freshmen to put on a party for the Sophomores in return for the initia- tion party. The Freshman return party ,was held September 26. Games were played and re- freshments served. Afterward dancing was done in the gym. SEVER'S FURNITURE, Colfax SPov'l's . sf is .4 T M , ,r ,, .-Q .,. 'WY T V l ,. , . g R.

This was the first place trophy from the St.- John tournament. Climbing steadily in ability, the team finished league play in third place. Our most heartbreaking -defeats were suffered by losing to Endicott by one point, and then to Colfax and to Endicott by only two points. A high point in the season came the night we played Lamont here. New county records were set in individual scoring, team scoring and total game scoring. In the county tournament our team won the right to go to the district playoffs by taking fourth place. Proving their worth at the district tournaments, the Tigers finished a successful season by earning fifth place.

BASEBALL This year the team opened what proved to be a better season than last year. There were some spectacular plays made and also some terrific errors, but as a rule the team played a better brand of ball as the year wore on. John Krom, Alvin Broeckel, and Loren Meadows were responsible for most of the pitching work, while Wayne Brannon and Reuben Stueckle held down the receiving end. Prospects for future years look fair, but we will certainly miss the added strength of the nine graduating seniors: Dale Mays, Alvin Broeckel, Jack Ferris, Don Hansen, Jerry Lust, John Krom, Dave Hubbard, Larry Camp, and Loren Meadows.

H. S. girls basketball team in preparation for their an- nual playday at Lacrosse. In the first game of the playday, the local girls were handed a defeat by the Bosalia Spartanettes. They came back and eeked out a narrow win over the Oakesdale team. A number of girls participated in a playday at the University of Idaho where basketball, volley- ball, and colored team games were played. BADMINTON Badminton, the traditional strong sport of the Lacrosse girls, continued its popularity again this year. The local girls finished second in the Whitman County finals, with several of the girls turning in outstanding feats. June Sather brought back the singles champion medal, while Sherry Camp and Linda Bell garnered third in the county meet. The team also participated in the annual Inland Empire badminton tournament at Mead Washington. June Sather placed third in this meet. We are looking forward to a much better season next year, due to the fine prospects of the fresh- men coming up this year. In the St. John frosh tournament, Goldie Stueckle showed promise as a singles player, while Gloria Stueckle and Karen Stephens did a fine job in girls doubles.

A The number in the student body increased this year from 71 to 72, 18 in each class. Probably the first activity carried on by the student body as a whole was the ,bon-fire and foot- ball pep rally. Wild enthusiasm was shown as we dramatically burned the Rosalia dummy and gave vigorous yells. This year it was decided that instead of each class burning its numeral on the hill, we should build one large lasting letter L . For days rock was hauled, put in place and then painted. The result is afgleaming white letter L 60 feet high and 40 feet wide, which can be seen for miles. At Christmas an all high party was held with everyone exchanging comic gifts.Christmas carols were sung and a :good time was had by all. T At the end of basketball season, the traditional class tournaments were held, the seniors emerg- ing triumphant. A This year the student body made good use of the S650 ,turned over to them by the Tiger Club. A complete set of new basketball uniforms and warm-up suits was purchasedliAlso 12 new girl's uni- forms were purchased by the student body and the G.A.C. combined. Some money was used to aid the purchase of a washer-dryer combination. With its many plays, athletic teams and contests, and with its progressivethinkjng clubs, La- crosse can feel proud of what she has done, but our goal is not yet reached. We still look to the future for better years than ever. 195 CAFE, Colfax ' ' L. to R, SEATED: David McWhirter-Humor, Don Copp-Boys' Sports, Mrs. Langley-Advisor, Greta Herman- Girls' Sports-Fads 61 Fashions, Phyllis Garberg-Music-Typist, Linda Bell-Humor, June Sather-Editor, Mary- ette Miller-Assistant Editor.

T 4 INTERIOR WAREHOUSE CO, Colfax THE PASTIME, Lacrosse BAD 1 Under the direction of Dick Ellis our marvelous 65 piece band was constantly being called up- on to perform for school and county events throughout 1952-1953. On September 12 they gave their first performance as they were guest band at the Whitman County Fair and on the 20th they represented Lacirosse at the Shrine Jamboree in Pullman. December was a very busy month for the band, performing their first concert on the lOth. With a roll of the drums and a blast of the trumpets the proud band members modeled their new uniforms for the first time. The band played at all home games also, bringing forth melodic marches and presto popular pieces on our basketball court and at W.S.C. while playing for the district tourna- ments. ' - ' - - - On February 21 they performed for the Soil Conservation Hally Day and on April 7 for the P.T. A. Open House. - , ' ' After continuous work and hard practice they traveled to Cheney on April 18 to enter a contest. Their three numbers were: Mutual, Chalet and Saga of the Hills. They received a rating of good which disappointed several. 1 The highlight of the year was the picking of the ll students who represented Lacrosse at the Band-Chorus Clinic'May lst in Colfax. After try-outs were held the following were picked by our director: Evelyn Miller, flute: Carolyn Guske and Sherry Camp, clarinetsp Linda Bell, saxophone, Kenny Langley, french horny Gary Grewell, trombone, David Hubbard, Cornet: J une Sather and Orbie Baken, trumpets 7 Myrna Shaver, bass drum and Earl Alley, bass viol. They deserve congratula- tions on receiving such an honor. , The students gave a good showing at the Lilac Festival May 16 and on the 19 they presented their spring band concert. . This year the band purchased 2 tympani drums, band uniforms, and percussion equipment. At our outdoor events they were led by 5 majorettes: Claudia Scholz, Marilyn and Carolyn Guske, and Goldie and Gloria Stueckle. All in all the band has improved a great deal in the past year and we ekpress our thanks to the community for its support. A . 1 -r PULLMAN APPLIANCE 8.

ALL HIGH PLAY Lacrosse audiences were given an exceptionally rare treat when the high school presented The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde. Under the direction of Mr. Dick Ellis, this play was produced in Penthouse style. In this style of theatre the audience was seated at card tables completely surrounding the act- ing area. Light refreshments were served between acts. Because of the limited seating space the the play was shown to only 100 people at a time on three consecutive nights-April Oscar Wilde has been ranked among the world's foremost playwriqhts. His Importance of Being Earnest has become a classic in theatre repertoire. This excellent cast turned in an excellent and refreshing performance: John Worthing, J. P .........................

TIGER CLUB- Jerry Lust PRESIDENT Jack Ferris Dale Mays , VICE-PRESIDENT Don I-Irmsen Kenneth Langley SECRETARY-TBEASUHEH L-GUY CCUUP Alvin Broeckel SGT-AT-ABNS Wf1Yne Bwnnon The Tiger Club, the Boy's Athletic L.ettermen's Club, started the year off with their annual project, the carnival. By soliciting prizes fm' the different booths from Lacrosse and Colfax businessmen, the club man- aged to push the proceeds over the 51,000 mark. A princess was elected from each class, and tickets were sold as votes. Each class also elected a prince and contributions collected in jars placed around the com- munity by the Girls Athletic Club were counted as votes for the princes. Arnie Neace and Carolyn Guske were crowned as king and queen during the evening of the carnival. The Tiger Club made good use of the profits that remained after turning S650 over to the student body. Thirty new all-metal lockers were purchased for the boys' dressing room and installed by club members dur- ing their spare school time. ' The purchase of a combination washer-dryer for cleaning the athletic equipment was another project pushed largely by the Tiger Club. Through the combined help of the Tiger Club, the Student Body, the Grade School, and the School District, this washer-dryer was installed this year. As the reservations for Boy's State were all taken before Lacrosse's two candidates, Gael Tower and Dori Copp, cards were sent in, the money given by the Tiger Club will be used to sponsor Boy's Staters next year. February 9, 1953, will be a long-remembered day fa' ll lucky Tiger Club members for on this day they were initiated. Such garments as overalls, and shirts worn backward, and such jobs as polishing all the tro- phies,' cleaning up the school yard, and polishing the upperclassmen's shoes, properly initiated these mem- bers into the club.. In the evening everyone enjoyed a good old waffle feed served by Mac and his able crew. Probably the most gratifying of all the club's activities was the Awards Banquet held on April 13. A large crowd of parents and townspeople turned out for a wonderful supper. Inspirational awards were presented to Loren Meadows for Football, Don Hansen, for Basketball, and to Phyllis Garberg for gir1's sports. The G.A.C. and the Jaycees helped out by handling such details as setting tables, pouring coffee, furnishing ice cream, and washing dishes. GEORGE W. TOWE R, LACROSSE DRUG, Lacrosse DODGE 8.

Greta Herman Doris Hansen SGT .-AT-ARMS Marilyn Guske Maryette Miller ADV. MANAGER Phyllis Garberg The Girl's Athletic Club was organized in 1936. The purpose of this club was to promote in- terest in sports and to maintain a high standard of feminine sportsmanship and conduct. The first real activity of the G.A.C. was the annual slumber party. After a sleepless night of volleyball, badminton, singing, playing and story telling, every girl wearily admitted they had a swell time. To help raise money for new uniforms and other expenses, two bake sales were held and the G.A.C. served a dinner at a county superintendents and teachers meeting. These ventures brought in over 3200. Twelve new girl's athletic uniforms were purchased this year through the combined efforts of the student body and the G.A.C. We are sure that these beautiful uniforms will add greatly to the looks of our girl's teams for years to come. y This year the G.A.C. again helped sponsor two junior girls, Greta Herman and Sherry Camp, to Girl's State at Ellensburg from June 25 to July 2. The G.A.C. worked in cooperation with the Tiger Club on their carnival and they also helped with the serving at the annual athletic awards dinner.
