Laingsburg High School - Looking Glass Yearbook (Laingsburg, MI)

Text from Pages 1 - 76 of the 1954 volume:

Many, many moons ago this town was the crossroad among the Indian Trails. The Looking Glass River flowed leisurely near by, offering it's cooling water to foxes and wolves. It was a time whenfoxes and wolf packs were running wild. The hunting of the beast was the Indians' main occupation. The Indians are gone and a small city stands where the trails met long ago. But the wolf pack is still in existence even if only as a name. The present day Wolfpack of Laingsburg shows its strengthin the fall on the gridiron, in the winter on the basketball court, and in the spring on the baseball diamond. 'DedCcctftott It is seldom that a teacher is as widely liked and respected as Hugh Doyle, senior class advisor. For seven years Mr. Doyle has cheerfully prepared seniors for their big step into life. His quick sense of humor has always made his classes an enjoyable experience. Finding a friend and helpful advisor in a teacher is a blessing to any student; therefore, it gives the 1954 Looking Glass staff great pleasure to dedicate this book to Hugh Doyle. While his former students recall their American History and economics classes with fond memories of Mr. Doyle, may he continue to let a little of his wisdom rub off on his students. 2 ScAooi EDWARD T.

Nash, Prin-pal Education consists of more than knowledge gleaned from textbooks or class rooms. It is mature judgment, emotional stability, a keen interest in people and their welfare, and finally a capacity for assuming and discharging responsibility. A truly educated person enjoys life and the living of it. Miss Jean Powell, Secretary 4 MR. HOWARD ADAMS Football and Assist-ant Basketball Coach; History; M. S.C., B. S. MR.

Wayne 'P'tofr tectf While being on tour after winning the contest for having the Biggest Little Toes in the world. I was passing through Laingsburg on one of the fastest trains made, and suddenly thought of my old school days at L. H. S. and decided to stop off and sec if 1 could find some of the class mates who attended school at L. H. S. with me. As I stepped off the train I noticed a sign right in front of me on a slightly swanky building, How to Grow Sideburns in 10 EZ Lessons under the ownership of Jackson Douglas Croy. Jack had a great business in the little town with many paying customers, among them Jerry Clark, who not only was trying to grow sideburns, but also trying to grow peach fuzz. It seems Jerry never had the privilege of shaving and now thought that being a man in his estimation, should be learning of these most important things. Walking away from the station, a rather large car pulled along beside me and much to my surprise it was Alton Howard managing the wheel. In the back scar was the distinguished Floyd Wagner, who in the last few years made himself President of the Wagner, Wagner, and Wagner Pickle Company, which is a brotherly organization. Of course, this didn't surprise me as Floyd always told us he would get something out of the pickle factory and has just proven his point by getting plenty of pickles. Floyd descended from his Cadillac, and walked graciously into the nearest building which to my surprise was a reducing salon, under the management of Kay Smith. Her slogan was none other than. How To Lose Lumps, by the champion herself. 1 having no lumps to lose, proceeded on my merry way. About this time I was getting thirsty and believe me I knew this town must have a bar so glancing around I finally found one at the far end of the street. 1 couldn't figure out who owned this elaborate bar. Then I saw the sign. Written in huge letters was the sign KEN'S BAR . Walking inside, I immediately spied Ken Hawk acting as head bartender. I sat next to a fellow who was eating his lunch, and ordered a coke from Ken. I recognized the man next to me as Bob Lourden. He told me he was employed as the patrolman at school, in the halls at noon. It appears the boys and girls at L.H.S. now, don't know how to. well, you know, and it seems Bob is best suited for this position. Ha, we know where he got his experience! After finishing my coke. I left Ken and Bob. This little city of Laingsburg hadn't lost any of its beautiful landmarks, for 1 noticed, leading the back street gang who all want to go to Hollywood this fall, was Janice Wauvle. My, let me tell you she hadn't lost anything from the time she left school. I wonder why Hollywood hasn't called for her yet? Oh well, she'll take care of that. Also another landmark was a rather old car and I mean old, driven by, none less than John Putnam. Yes. this did seem odd to me as the last 1 had heard, he was going to marry a millionairess and now to find him going around in this old beaten up jalopy with the words, Wanted Old Junk and Garbage , inscribed on the side, was beyond belief! Now what happened to his manly charm and the gal he had picked out? Do you think she found out that when you pinch him his skin swells? I guess she did. Picking up my feet and running across the street, I thought this was my lucky day and I mean lucky, as there was a long line in front of this building very well decorated. But much to my surprise I was the one who just about dropped in my tracks as this was no bargain, it was just another building with an extra lot of people in front of it. No, it couldn't be true! In big letters on the very front of this building was. Join the Lonely Hearts Club owned and operated by none other than Mr. Caruso himself, Tom Coe. Boy, was this striking, as he was the only guy in the world who could catch a girl, according to him, and now he was looking for one himself. I noticed while standing there being pushed around that one of the oldest members, Beverly Ginther, had been promoted to Vice President. Beverly was the most popular girl in high school and now has resorted to going steady with the lonely hearted men. As in any town, there are events which are striking to the eye. Boy, this town had one which was to take place that very evening in the high school gym, and it was not only striking to the eye. but also to the heart. You see. Killer Joyce Smith and the Slasher Jackie Reed were to tight it out, I mean wrestle it out on the mats in the center of the floor that night. Oh, how could one be so heartless. Jackie should never have agreed to take Joyce on. as Jackie might kill her. Oh, now what am I saying if they want to kill each other let them after all who am 1 to interfere with the friendship of two such happy people. Getting tired of walking, I decided to ride awhile so I called to the first thing I saw. Opps, made a mistake, as instead of getting a car. I got a horse and wagon which belonged to none other than the HORSE LOVER HIMSELF. Richard Davis. Now what ever possessed him to enter into this trade? I thought that Dick might become a teacher being as how he liked school so well. I guess one can be wrong at times though can't he? Not wanting to go for a wagon ride, I spied a taxi across the way. I whistled for it and immediately it came to a searching halt in front of me. I hopped in and much to my surprise, I met an old classmate who always did like to drive someone elses car, the only, Edith Beavers. Edith told me that she got tired of carrying bed pans in the hospital, so she decided to take up the only thing left, a hacky. We had just gotten started down the street when we had to stop for a funeral procession. As it passed, I noticed a familiar name, Cortright! Jan had become a mortician. It seemed to me that this would be quite a dead business for Jan. I used to double-date with him, boy, he sure must have changcdl Edith informed me the man riding in the second car was a guy who had been executed for watering the flowers in the park, just three days before. I asked, Wasn't this a stiff penalty for just watering the flowers in the park? And she said. They wanted to keep Jim Rowley in business. It seems he paid so many visits to the city jail, they had given him the office of Lord High Executioner. Not wanting to lose my head, I let the matter drop. After the procession had passed, Edith decided she needed some gas, so she pulled into a station. The station had a big sign with BILL'S HILLY SERVICE on it. Today's featured specials were: Kick'em down-drag'em out gas, super perfumed oil, and sensitized water for one dollar a quart. After buying some of the special gas, we sailed off. Edith blabbed on that Audrey Shue had gone to Hollywood to wipe Marilyn Monroe right off the calendar. Things sure have picked up since 1 was last here. We ripped down the great Grand River Avenue for some time until a huge eight story factory came before our faces. Glancing around, I saw a mammouth sign, Hurst's Indelible Lipstick Factory, I make it, you wear it. It looks better on you than on tnc. Now what I was wondering was how did Jim know that it looked better on girls than on himself. Did he try it to find out? Seeing all the guys at the door, I began to wonder. Don't girls use the stuff anymore? Oh, I see now, LuAnnc Austin is the official tester. It seems she finds it a very nice business to experiment on boys! Edith, at this point informed me that she had a beauty appointment, and looking at her 1 could see she needed it, at the most exclusive hair dresser shop in town. Kink's CURLS, KINKS. AND WAVES JOINT. The only person in town who can fix your hair so no one will recognize you. If I remember correctly she used to prove this on herself back in high school. I asked Edith to drop me off at the next corner and much to my surprise I was swept into an enormous crowd. Struggling up to the front, I saw that they were all listening to our own Joan Cook who had now become the best street-corner salesman in the Brya Firm. She was selling the latest invention, a SLOP-HOPPER, which merely transposed slop and garbage from one pot to another without getting your hands mussed up. But during her demonstration, a funny thing happened. The slop missed the pot and went--well, I didn't wait to see where, (immediately ducked into the nearest doorway to avoid the confusion. This is when 1 first noticed the signM M. (wondered if the proprietors were anybody I knew. Going inside, I found a very exclusive shoppe. A candy shoppe where they made the candy themselves. The reason their candy sold so well, was because they added bourbon to each piece! This naturallv ran the other candy companies out of business. Yes, the Mahoney twins really had a racket, here. I sat down with one piece of candy, just one mind you, and was shaken from my chair when a familiar voice came blasting from the juke-box. it was the voice of Wanda Wing, singing the latest hit. Get out of Bed Mable, I Need your Sheet to Set the Table. Carolyn Mahoney, one of the proprietors, informed me that Wanda had won a contest sponsored by the lady who could do more with peroxide, than any other woman on earth, Coleen Veith. Colccn thought that since she didn't have a singing voice, she should help mankind by sponsoring a contest. Inquiring further. I found that Terry Coe had written the hit song which Wanda sang. He had also written many other top hits, such as: To Me You Look Like a Stranger Since Your Nose Got Caught in the Record Changer . While Granny was at the Victrola, I Put a Mickey in her Pepsi-Cola and My Brother Thinks He's a Chicken, but We Don't Tell Him the Difference, 'Cause We Need the Eggs. While finishing my candy, a tall dark familiar figure strolled up and took the seat across the table from me. She immediately recognized me and started yakkingabout her new and popular book, The Five Armed Woman . At first I didn't know what had hit me so I asked this most forward girl what her name was. she hesitated for a moment, then told me she was the well known writer, Annette Hiedemann. Annette told me if I'd go straight for two blocks, turn right until I saw a green house with blue shutters, then turn left and run a block to the third alley on the south side of the street, go down the alley until I crossed the tracks I'd find the tent of another of our classmates. Annette said her name now, was Madam Hunk-a-Junk, the famous fortune teller, but in school we knew her as Sally Holfus. I went to Sally's establishment, and found two ushers at the door. They TRUMBLED me in, opps, I mean TUMBLED me in. Sally told my fortune. She told me that on my return home, I would be kidnapped by a woman dressed in red underwear and riding a camel. She would then take me to the racketeers hide-out to meet their big boss. After depositing a small fee to Madam Hunk-a-Junk, by force, I started on my return journey. Soon after I had crossed the tracks a huge camel came before me. 1 thought it mighty strange to see a camel in Laingsburg! The woman riding the camel made a sweeping lunge at me and set me on the camel with her. Madam Hunk-a-Junk was right! I was being kidnapped! She started talking to me in a high screechy voice. I couldn't stand the suspense any longer, as to whom she was, so 1 ripped off the silk scarf she wore around her face and much to my surprise I was startled to find Mary Lou McConnell. I couldn't figure how Mary Lou had stooped so low as to agree to this type of work. Soon we were in front of a large casino. Mary Lou shoved me into the BIG BOSS’S private chambers. I found out the name of the big boss; Money Bags Rosie. Rosemary Baumgras, our Senior Class Treasurer, it was found, just couldn't tear herself away from money, so she and Mary Lou had gone into business for themselves. We entered a larger room, and upon clapping her hands, Rosemary's fabulous dancer wearing pink tights and a black blouse, appeared. (watched her twist, turn and squirm about. My, how double jointed she was! Rosemary said Rose Coe was our dancer and I never would have believed it if she hadn't told me. Well, after the Gangsters Ball 1 was permitted to leave. Oh, are you wondering who and what I am? Well, the reason I'M on tour for the biggest little toes in the world, is because I'm cacella the gorilla, formerly Forest Wolfrom, now featured with the Barnum Bailey Circus.

(?C Z44 In September 1950, our class, composed of forty nine members, the largest ever to enter L. H. S„ diligently took up their Parker 51's and jumped feet first into the great struggle known as high school. While roaming through the halls, we stumbled upon Mr. Wesner who informed us he was to be our class sponsor. At the helm of our ship of state was Sally Holfus, ably assisted by Tom Coe as Vice President, with Jerry Clark taking down our juvenile thoughts, and Beverly Ginther gathering our feeble funds. It was in October, 1950, that a crowd of self-conscious but happy Freshmen gathered together and enjoyed a very successful hayride and wiener roast, chaperoned by Mr. Wesner. Other diversions from school were a roller skating party and a trip to Lake Lansing. Two boys joined our happy group this year; they were Jim Hurst and John Putnam. The following year the class of 54 again heeded the call of the buzzers and plunged into their sophomore year, sponsored by Gene Westerhof. The class leaders this year were Lu Anne Austin, President; Jerry Clark, Vice President; Beverly Ginther, Secretary; and Jan Cortright, Treasurer. This was the year of much excitement. For one thing we received our glittering class rings. We also made our first endeavor to raise finances by sponsoring the first annual May Dance, which was a big success. New member who joined us in the tenth grade were Ken Hawk and Bob Lour-den. Bill Hill returned to us again, sharing part of our sophomore year with us. In 1952, we again responded to the desire of higher education. This year we became lofty upper-classmen. To rule over our lustrious group, we chose Catherine Bachelder as President; Jim Hurst, Vice President; Rosemary Baum-grass. Secretary; and Kay Smith as Treasurer with Mr. Nash and Mr. Huffman as class sponsors. Among the big annual activities in our Junior year were the Feather Party and the Junior Play. The Feather Party was held on December 18. The play, titled Headin for the Hills , under the direction of Mr. Nash, took place January 28 and 29. It was a roaring hit and we netted $215. The big events preceding graduation were the Junior and Senior Banquet and the Prom. This year the banquet and Class Night were combined into one, and held in GiffelsFieldhouse on Friday, May 15. The Class Prophecy was read by Shirley Jacques. Barbara Wolfrom read the Class Will, andthe Class History was given by Dick Duzenberry. The Giftatory was made by Beverly Ginther and Sally Holfus. A very nice luncheon was served following the Class night program. The big night finally arrived. The class of 54 honored the class of ”53 by giving them a wonderful evening of dancing under the stars. Our theme for the prom was Stairway to the Stars . The Prom was held on May 22. A trio of girls joined us this year. It consisted of; Catherine Bachelder, Annette Hiedemann, and Mary Lou McConnell. At last! Sophisticated Seniors. Mr. Doyle, we were happy to say, was our class advisor. Ken Hawk was given the reins for driving, John Putnam was chosen to keep him in line, MaryLou McConnell was the arbitrator who settled any dispute; and Rosemary Baumgrass was the watch dog of the treasurery. A Slave Sale was sponsored by the Seniors on February 9 where a lot of good-looking shoes were auctioned off. That same week the Seniors were hosts to a dance held after a basketball game, and the slaves were set free after the dance. Another unforgettable event was our Senior Play. This year it was our turn to enjoy the hospitality of the Juniors at the Junior and Senior Prom. Those starting out in the kindergarten together and graduating together are as follows; LuAnne Austin, Jerry Clark, Terry Coe, Tom Coe, Jack Croy, Beverly Ginther, Audrey Shue, Joyce Smith, Coleen Veith, and Janice Wauvle, The rest of the class not already mentioned joined us as follows: Rosemary Baumgrass, Edith Beavers, Rose Coe, Marilyn and Carolyn Mahoney, second grade; Floyd Wagner, third grade; Joan Cook, Wanda Wing, and Forrest Wolfrom, fourth grade; Sally Holfus, fifth grade; Jan Cortright and Alton Howard, sixth grade; Dick Davis, Jim Rowley, and Kay Smith, seventh grade, and Jackie Reed, eighth grade. 16 t4t 02VcCC s4 td 7e4t ne tt We, the graduating class of nineteen hundred and fifty four, Laingsburg High School, County of Shiawassee, State of Michigan, having been pronounced of rather unsound mind, poor memory, and slow understanding do hereby make this our last will and testament in the manner and form following: FIRST: We give, devise and bequeath to the people of Laingsburg, as well as the classes and students of the school, the beautiful lawn with its carefully kept flower beds and shrubbery which so greatly adds to the attractiveness of the town and makes the school grounds a sight to cause the hearts of the citizens to swell with honest pride.

The Council represents the students, their desires and needs; thus deriving its name. Probably the most difficult of the Student Council's problems is to promote better feeling between the students and the members of the faculty. A few accomplishments of the Student Council during the 1953-54 school year are as follows: 1. Spectator busses have been obtained for all athletic events away from school. 2. Assembly programs have been contracted by the Council for the education and entertainment of the students. 3. Monitors have been chosen for the halls to retain order between classes.

Scvitc6 o ul (?£u The Switchboard Club is becoming more and more an outstanding feature of Laingsburg's extra curricular activities program. The club is sponsored by Mr. Kenneth Huffman. There are no officers in the club except a secretary, Myra Malkin. The club is responsible for all the filming equipment and also the P.A. system. The club is proud to be certified projectionists. Among their duties is the showing of film strips to any class upon the teachers request. In the future the club plans to show short films during the noon hours. Admission for these films will be 10 cents. This money in turn will be used to pay the rental fee on the films. Assemblies of this sort are also planned by the club. They hope that some day they can have this type of assembly regularly. 41 Back row, left to right: Sam Harmount, Bill Powell, Rose McGrath, Mr. Nash, Coleen Veith.

In reality the choir is about twice as big as the group that the photo above pictures. The Choir in co-operation with the speech class presented an excellent Christmas program shortly before Christmas vacation. The other main event for the choir will be singing at Commencement on May 27. Mr. Berube directs the choir which meets twice weekly. It is considered an extra curricular activity and no credit is given for it. 43 44 Settton gW Standing: (left to right) Duane Day, Roger Slee, Wendell Ginther, Ellis Howard, Johnny Willard, Cathleen Burley Bob Smith, Laura McClouth, Steve Doyle, Keith Reed, Arthur Willard, Mr. Berube.
