In these following pages, we have tried to give you, the reader, a complete idea of the happenings and activities of our school during the past year. It is our hope that in years to come, you may open the cover and again relive the days gone by. We feel our efforts have been well rewarded by the production of The Looking Glass and we have hopes that you will receive the same satisfaction in reading it as we have had in producing it. 3 We are proud to be able to dedicate this year's Ar to a girl who in our estimation is worthy of much more what we say here. She is Theresa Lou McDonald, the twelve year ol daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James McDonald of Laingsbur Michigan. She was stricken with the dreaded polio dises August 16, 1949. Theresa was an active person who enjoyed piano playing and ice skating as a hobby. Her doctor has givei encouraging news for her recovery even though it will b gradual process. Tuesday, February 14, 1950, this day will be ver memorable to Theresa because that was the day she stai ed walking with braces and only one crutch. We, the members of the Laingsburg High School Journalism Class, feel confident that Theresa will make splendid recovery and that she will once again be a fami personage in the halls and classrooms of our school. Wi take it upon ourselves in behalf of the entire school to wi her every possible success in her gallant fight. THERESA LOU MCDONALD We are all pulling for you Theresa-- VUULr, Is , . 3 £) otyour C-AJ ft at J3cuJ fecftjLr JL OkOLu . -vojMolaJ.

BACK ROW SECOND ROW FRONT ROW Class History In September, 1946, a large and very brilliant class entered the High School, In due time, these students elected class officers who were: President, Joel Gregory; Secretary, George Christ; Treasurer, Joan Powell; and the Great Class of ‘50 came into full sway. It was in December 1946, that a crowd of self-conscious and happy Freshmen gathered together and enjoyed a very successful sleigh ride, chaperoned by our sponsor, Mr. Charron. The following year the Class of 50 again responded to the call of the bell which brought some new faces, Mr. Schroeder consented to sponsor the “know-it-alls,” with the following officers: President, Mary Lou Bolton; Secretary, Diana Shue; and Treasurer, Norma Arnold; with Connie Holder as a replacement. During the last semester, several successful parties were held. In September, we became Jaunty Juniors with Nolan Lee as President; Joan Powell, Vice President; Diana Shue, Secretary; and Edul Brewster, Treasurer. Again Mr. Schroeder was chosen to be sponsor. A very successful Feather Party was held at the high school. During March, our class rings arrived. “Here Comes Charlie,” starring Joyce Brownlee as “Charlie,” a play directed by Mr. Doyle, was a great success. For the Seniors, we threw a banquet and prom, decorated with gray and rose and the theme being “Good Luck.” The next September, we became dignified SENIORS, --the goal which we had sought to obtain--and then with all our privileges and honors, we felt as if the school could hardly progress without us. We elected our officers who were: President, Mary Lou Bolton; Vice-President, Phyllis Lile; Secretary, Helen Rowley; Treasurer, Connie Holder; of whom great things were expected in order to make this class the best that was ever graduated from L. H. S. A Feather Party was held to promote our Senior Trip. Another play, “Let Me Out of Here” was given which was directed by Mr. Doyle, our sponsor, and was another great success. Nolan Lee and Carleton Huff were two comedians trying to hide the rips in their trousers. The grand Senior Trip and the delightful banquet and prom spelled the “finis” of th . joys of our high school comradeship. And so endeth the history of the Class of 1950. Barbara Croy, Edul Brewster, Nolan Lee and Harold Hurst You can always You can always You can always You can always tell a Freshman by his vacant stare, tell a Sophomore by the silly things he’ll wear, tell a Junior by his silly strut and such, tell a Senior but you can’t tell him much. 13 Class Officers ADVISOR H.

One day, a brain storm struck us. We decided that the easiest ambition we could find was to explore the world. On a bright summer day in July of I960 we started our world travel from Lansing. We made a non-stop flight from Lansing to Washington D. C. During our stay in Washington D. C., we attended a banquet at which the President of the United States, our former classmate, Nolan Lee, was to give a speech. The subject of his speech was ”JIow to Influence Women and Lose Friends”. We traveled from Washington D. C. to New York City. We decided to make a tour of the city. Our first stop was to a large art studio. As we entered the door, we saw a familiar face. It was none other than Carleton Huff surrounded by all of his beautiful models. As we left the art studio and went on down the street, we heard a voice calling “pencils, pencils and as we studied the face, we recalled one of our old classmates, Joel Gregory. We had a friendly talk and Joel told us that his job was pretty steady. A few days of flying time took us to Australia and while taking the country scenes, we saw a large sign that read THE LILE RANCH. A lot of little ones were running around there, of course, we mean colts. While in our hotel room in Paris, we turned on our radio just in time to hear the latest news broadcast. It seems the great American actress, Barbara Croy, had announced her engagement to Mickey Rooney. Barbara’s latest picture is “At Last”. After a week’s vacation in Paris, we decided to go to Africa. Frank Buck, the big game hunter, was running into great competition with Sherwood Hunt. It seems that Sherwood had finally got over his buck fever and was having all the luck. Our next stop after leaving Africa was at the Hawaiian Islands. You never can tell who you will run into these days. It was a big surprise to us when we saw Joyce Morris in one of those grass skirts learning the latest Hawaiian dances. Oh yes, Joyce now belongs to the Kellogg tribe. We were very much flattered when the King of Arabia asked us to be his guests for a week. When we arrived, we were welcomed by none other than our old friend and classmate, lArnold Brown, and all of his beautiful wives. Some people have all the luck.' During our flight from Arabia to South America we thought it would be intere sting to watch the pilot in the cabin. Who of all people did we find at the controls but Lynn Guenther. Lynn always did have trouble keeping his head from above the clouds. Our nightclub experience in South America proved very interesting. Special entertain- ment for the evening was lovely songstress. Wee Connie Baker, better known as Connie Holder, Connie was making a tour of the South American countries. The surprise we received in Brazil was far above the ordinary. We found that Harold Hurst was the owner of a large coffee plantation. No wonder the coffee shortage had ended. A trip wouldn’t be complete without taking a midnight cruise. As we stood on the deck of the ship, we saw a figure on the dock. As we neared the shore, we recognized the figure to be that of Helen Rowley. Helen was waiting for her sailors to come in. 18 Our World Wide Trip Page 2 Due to financial circumstances, we ventured back to the states. Our first stop when we arrived back in the states, was at Pasadena, California. While in Pasadena, we attended the Rose Bowl. The Rose Bowl Queen was none other than Barbara Waterman. Most of her admirers were men but R. G. was on hand keeping a watchful eye on her. From California, we traveled on to Nevada. We visited the various factories in Nevada. There was one new factory just being built. We learned that the owners of this ‘‘Diaper Factory” were Dick and Mary Lou (Boulton) Doyle. From later reports we learned that their seven little boys kept the factory in business. We arrived in New York in time to take in the fights at Madison Square Garden. The big event of the evening was the fight for the heavy weight championship of the world. John Krebiehl vs. Ezra Charles. The odds were 5:1 against Charles. Hating to end our wonderful trip, we took in one last event at Detroit, the girls' big league baseball game. It seems that Donna Putnam’s dream had finally come true. She was now the manager of the only girls' baseball team to ever win the pennant for thiee consecu- tive years. Returning to Laingsburg, we visited L. H. S. for old times sake. There we found Diana Shue, teacher for the first grade. Diana seemed very contented with her profession, but we noticed her brown hair was slowly turning grey. At the end of our journey, we found ourselves very tired, but it was worth all the time and money we spent seeing all our classmates again.

The old boy must have sat there in that dignified pose for a moment or so, his shaggy hair shot here and there with darts of white and his grey eyes almost somber in the light of the dusty lamp. “Folks,” he said slowly in his low, professional-sounding voice, “We are met on a sad occasion. A death is approaching with the new season--and as usual in a case of sus- pended animation the last will and testament of that party must be read. Thus are we assembled. Death has pounced upon the portals of L.H.S. and not with a futile punch. The door has opened and the Grim Reaper has stalked in to place the kiss of Caiaphas upon the wrinkled brow of ye of the Senior Class. The old man hesitated as if collecting his thoughts and after folding his hands before him upon the table once more, began. “Ye are the claimants of the woes and virtues of the most gracious Seniors, ye are the ones who claim to be the most benignly loved--so be it. This, successors of the departed Seniors, is the last will, the final testament of the vamoosed members of the class of ‘50. This is the obelisk of their fame, this is a mortal test of their graciousness, of their generosity, of their unselfishness. They who are to pass on into life’s Great Beyond, are dead here, while back in regeneration they are being born again across the Great Divide, born again as men and women, while back in the vale of the days of yore the corpse of the Class which has passed out withers into the dust from whence it sprang. They have not desired to take with them their many virtues of this epoch but rather have they bestowed them upon you of the Freshman, Sophomore and Junior Classes. They have left them that you of the great and glorious L.H.S. may crush them madly to your bosom and plant pink violets and golden daisies at the feet of the invisible monument raised to commemorate their passing. Thus is the graciousness, thus is the generosity, thus is the unselfish spirit of the departing Seniors demonstrated. And now kind sirs prepare thine ears for the reading of the last will, the last testament of those who will habitate the cloistered halls of the L.H.S. no more. “We the class of 1950, being of super-sound sanity, do make this our last will and testament, bequeathing to the benighted innocence of underclassmen the fruits of our Herculean endeavors.” It is the last wish, the last desire, the will and testament of the departing class of 50 that upon the dawning of that day when their cheerful faces no longer grace the halls of L.H.S. the following attributes of their nature be given as they shall will: To the Freshmen the Seniors in assembly having discarded all childish behavior, leave their special privileges (namely hair pulling, note passing, giggling and story telling.) To the Sophomores, haughty specimens though they may be, we leave the atmosphere of childlike bliss which our presence has bathed the barren walls of L.H.S. To the Juniors, and our hearts swell with pride at the thought, we leave the unparalled magnitude of the multitudinous successes of which we have been so famous. And the thousand and one other projects which only a Senior mind could originate. To the faculty, we bequeath our excess knowledge that they may pass it on to those in need. To our faithful custodians, Albert and Harry, we leave all chewing gum wherever it may be found so that they may remold it and sell it to dairymen when pasture is low. 20 Last Will and Testament Page 2 PERSONAL BELONGINGS WILL BE DISPOSED OF AS FOLLOWS: I, Lynn Guenther, will my unspoken thoughts to Sam Wright, I, Edul Brewster, will my ability to write shorthand and then read it to any genius who dares attempt it, I, Joyce Morris, bequeath my nickname, “Wolfy, to Richard Wert to use as he sees fit. I, Arnold Brown, leave my excess pep to “Kelloggs”. I, Diana Shue, bequeath my ability to drive a jeep to Larry Powers. I, Phyllis Lile, bequeath my dimples to Shirley Temple. I, Barbara Croy, will my office job to Jo Anne Waterous. I, Joel Gregory, Leave! I, John Krebiehl, leave the memory of myself on every seat which I have occupied.

I, Nolan Lee, leave for the U. of M. with my spelling book. I, Donna Putnam, leave my ability to get along with the Commercial teacher to Barbara Willard.

We first began to bring in the money by having a dance with Ed Berry’s orchestra furnishing the music. We were to get the orchestra free of charge and we reaped around thirty dollars. This was our first step toward our prom and also our Senior trip. Our Feather Party was held December 6. We made aroung $219.00 on it. A great time was had by e '•eryone when we got together for our first class party of the year. Mr. Westerhof and Mr. and Mrs. Forster were our chaperones. This party was held January 20 in Roger's Hall. Our prom was held May . This was a great thrill for us Juniors because we had never experienced anything like this before.

Mr. Trumble furnished the wagon and tractor. This was climaxed by a marshmallow roast at Sayles. A few of the boys and girls were pleased to find that they were on the first or second teams in basketball. 28 John AoitiB, Betty Bandt, Data Bolt on, Joan Brewster, Harley Brownlee.

Mr. Schroeder, our class advisor, was the chairman of the meeting. Jerry Clark was elected President, Sally Holfus, Vice-President, Jan Cortright, Secretary, and Kay Smith, Treasurer. Our first social event of the year was a hilarious hayride the 28th of October, chaperoned of course! The tractor was furnished by James Cramer and we used Cramer’s hay and wagon. We came back to the school later for refreshments. At Christmas time we had a gift exchange at school and refreshment of pop- corn and candy. From December until February 22, things were at a standstill for our active group. On that date, we were invited by the 7th grade to go on a roller skating party to the Palomar. A large percentage of our class attended despite the stormy weather. The next day, most of our students came to school with blisters on their heels, soles of their feet, and so on. 30 Icam, iMCimrjr Boamini, Edith Beavers, Ardlth Austin. ® tty Carroll, Jerry Clark Terry Coe . � — Coe, Tmb Cee, Joan Cook, Jan Cort right, Jim Cramer, Patricia Cramer, Jack Croy, lArtije DaHing, Dick Dnvta.

It was they who carried the spirit of Laingsburg High through every sport activity regardless of its outcome. A great deal of credit is given the player on the football field--the player on the basketball court--and the player on the baseball diamond--but on all of those occasions these girls maintained a school spirit unsurpassed by any player. Even when our team was losing, they never gave up. They had acquired something that can not be purchased, an asset that can only be developed when there is sportsmanship behind it-- the fighting spirit. We truly are proud of these girls and also proud of every- thing they represent.
