The weather was wonderful for traveling and after packing, we drove to Burch's filling station at junction 114 and 15, to get our car filled with gasoline. Tom Burch, now married and in partnership with his father, waited on us. We chatted a few moments and then bade him good-bye and were on our way. Our first big stop was to be in Washington, D. C. We stopped at a newstand and who should we come across but Jim Weitzel. He was getting a paper. He told us that he was living in Washington, D.C. and was a senator from Indiana. He had be- come a great man in politics. We now headed our car for Niagara Falls. As we were parking our car there, we glanced across the street and saw a car with the sign JUST MARRIED on it. Who should climb out but Terry Miller and his new bride. We congratulated them and learned that he was a instructor at West Point. We were sorry that we couldn't talk longer, but we were in a hurry to get to New York City. We wanted to go shopping in New York, so the first place we went to was the large Murphy’s Dime Store. After having purchased a number of things and were just about ready to leave, we glanced around and saw Carol Sue Fruitt (now Slack 1 at one of the cash registers. We hurried over to talk to her and she said that she liked working at the Murphy Dime Store in North Manchester so well that she was now clerking here. We wondered how she ever came to be in New York, but she soon explained it to us. Max was now the manager of the Murphy Store here. She said she enjoyed her work very much. She also told us the former Dorene Eltzroth was living in New York. Our next stop in New York was at Madison Square Gardens. We were looking around and much to our surprise we saw Jacob Cormany sparring around with his trainer, getting in shape for his championship fights. We had a little chat with him and then went to the Yankee Stadium. We had heard that the Yankee's were playing the Cleveland Indians that day. Just as we walked in, we heard the crowd cheering. Devon Ogden had just made a home run for the Yankee's. We thought we saw a fa- miliar face out leading a yell for the Yankee’s. It was! It was Mr. Hanson Baldwin! He had liked yelling so well back at L. H. S. that he continued doing so for the Yan- kee's. The Yankee’s won! After the game we didn't get a chance to talk to Devon, but at least we got to see him play. Next, we looked for Dorene. She was quite surprised to see us. We learned that she had worked as a secretary in the Underwood Typewrite Office and had marr- ied her boss. She was living in a small apartmen and was leading a very happy married life. We had a wonderful time in New York, but decided to see some more of the world, so went to New York Harbor, and boarded the Queen Mary , driving our car on the boat with us. We weren't on the ship long until we met Rex Baker, the cap- tain of the ship. He decided that it was cheaper to be a bachelor, so he had never married. We landed at London. Because we had always heard so much about the famous London Opera House, we decided to take time out to go there one evening. We thou- ght we heard a familiar voice, and, lo and behold, it was Myrl Frantz trying to sing the leading part. We enjoyed it very much and wished we could have talked to him. Our next stop was at Paris, France, which is noted for its style and fashion shows. One evening we went to one of the Elite Fashion Shows. Among the models was Dorothy Shewman, a graduate from that famous class of 1952. Her picture was appearing in some of the noted magazines. She saw us sitting in the audience and motioned for us to wait after the show. This gave us a chance to talk to her and we learned that she enjoyed her work very much. We bade her adieu and went to the next large city we planned to see, Rome, Italy. As we were walking down the street in Rome one sunny afternoon, who should we come across but Patricis Hileman. She liked being the art editor for the TIGER NEWS so well beck at L. H. S. that she continued drawing after she got out of sch- ool. She was so good that she was now working in Rome as a modern artist. She said that she had not found her one and only man yet. We now headed for Peking, China to get our boat and return to the United States. We landed at Los Angeles and stayed there for a few days. One morning we were walking down the street and met Mr. and Mrs. Lon Price. Mrs. Price was the for- mer Phyllis Montel. We were surprised to meet them here. Phyllis said that she decided to be a movie actress, so she married Lon and moved to Beverly Hills. As we were driving through Utah, our car began to sputter and to spurt and after investigating we found that we were out of gas. As there was no filling station in sight, we had to walk to the nearest ranch. We knocked on the door and a small girl answered, who certainly resembled the former Rose Anna Ebbinghous. No wonder; we came to find out that this was Rose Ann’s little girl. Rose Anna told us she had married a rancher eight years ago and had settled in Utah. After we got some gas, we were invited to stay for supper. We accepted the invitation and had a very good time listening to Rose Anna’s thrilling Western stories. She told us Martha Hoover was married and lived in Salt Lake City. We had seen so many of our old school mates, that we decided that we should look up the remainder of them, too. We thank- ed Rose Anna for the fine time and went to Salt Lake City. Upon arriving there we hunted for Martha. Because of her marriage, she was connected with the State Farm Insurance Company. She had been living in Salt Lake City for three years. We couldn't leave the West without going to Yellowstone National Park. As we were driving through the park, we saw a man feeding a large black bear. We stopped to watch and soon saw the man was John Floor. He had been hired as one of the caretakers at the park. Since we had seen so many of the graduates of the Class of 1952, we asked John where we could find the others. He told us that Dick Clingen- peel was connected with Erie Railroad, working out of Chicago. As we didn’t know what part he would be connected with, we thought we would have a difficult time find- ing him. It so happened that luck was with us. As we were driving through Chicago, not far from the depot, we had to stop and wait on a train. The train was almost to a dead stop. We looked at the engine and saw that Dick was the engineer. We didn’t get to talk to him, but at least we saw him. We had seen all of the graduates but two, so we headed back to Laketon. Since we had been gone so long we wanted to look the town over. As we were walking down Main Street we saw a sign which read MThe City Sweet Shop.” We decided to go in and buy some candy. Upon entering we saw the waitresses to be Doris Haynes and Ruth Reiken. After graduating they had opened this shop. Leaving the shop we saw Mrs. Mabel Weber entering. We were surprised to see her. She said that she was still the art teacher at Laketon High School. We told her of our trip and she said she Wished she could have been along. Thinking back over our trip, we decided we had a wonderful time, and were glad we had met all of the graduates of the Class of 1952. Committee: Ruth Ann Moyer Agatha Coning Louise Yoder Jerry Butler Albert Sims CLASS COLORS: BLUE AND GOLD CLASS FLOWER: WHITE CARNATION CLASS MOTTO: THE PAST FOREVER GONE: THE FUTURE STILL OUR OWN. Four years ago most of us entered Laketon High School for the first time. At last we were members of Laketon High School, greenhorn freshmen. We elected officers and the result was Phyllis Montel, president; Charles Hoffman, vice-president; Carol Sue Fruitt, secretary-treasurer. Mrs. Weber took the job of sponsoring the class of twentyfive freshmen. Our class parties consisted of two weiner roasts. When we got boosted into our sophomore year, we were a little more settled than the year before. We no longer roamed the halls hunting class rooms. We were becoming a little more involved in the activities of old L.H.S. The twenty-three sophomores elected officers as follows: Terry Miller, Carol Sue Fruitt, and Phyllis Montel to the offices of president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer. We again stuck Mrs. Weber with the job of sponsor- ing us. This year as before we had class dues. We also made a little money by sponsoring a skating party at Warsaw. In 1950, twenty of us came back as juniors to keep things buzzing at Laketon. This year Dick Clingenpeel took over the chief executive's chair with Tom Burch as his right-hand man and Carol Sue Fruitt as our secretary-treasurer. Mr. Ford was our co-sponsor along with Mrs. Weber, our sponsor. Within a short time our rings and sweaters were ordered. Due to conflict of rings, the boys bought from one company and the girls from another. This class of juniors presented a very successful play entitled “Peck's Bad Boy. This shindig came off on the 16th of March in the school auditorium. This success was mostly due to Mrs. Weber's patience and know-how, since she had the job of directing us. Our junior-senior reception was held at the Hotel La- Fontaine in Huntington. We and the seniors enjoyed a wonderful ham dinner and were entertained by Harold Leckrone and family. In the eventful year of 1951-52, a proud class of seventeen members en- tered Laketon High School for the last time. Of course they were the usual bunch of haughty seniors who proudly proclaimed that they knew considerably more than any member of the faculty, particularly the principal, a “swell fellow by the name of Harmon Baldwin. Along in November, we received a new student, Doris Haynes, who hailed from Lagro. This graduating class chose Rex Baker as their president, Myrl Frantz as vice-president, Carol Fruitt as their secretary, and Devon Ogden as treasurer. Since this was the money making year we sold magazines, and did we sell them! As a matter of fact, we set all kinds of records. We also sold concessions at the basketball games, or rather the girls did, while the boys helped to win the games. With all this money, we planned a nine-day trip with the Miller Tours. We will leave on May 14. This year our play was “Fresh Air. Again we had a how- ling success under the direction of Mrs. Weber. It was presented in the Laketon auditorium on the night of October 12. During the last semester, we all got down and really studied in order to become exempt from the final exams. Then on that fateful night of May 10, the eighteen members of the senior class received that piece of paper which meant our high school days were over. With a sigh of joy, relief, happiness, and yet sorrow we received that piece of paper, our diplomas. We were, of course, happy and relieved to have com- pleted our twelve years, but as we look back on these twelve years we find that we will miss dear old L.H.S. very much. CLASS POEtn We are the Seniors of '52 About to pass into a world that's new. These last twelve years have gone by fast. But now we're ready to leave at last. This poem we dedicate to Our well-known Seniors of '52. These memories of our energetic class. We leave to you in a jumbled mass. Terry Miller is first in line. We all think that he is fine. On to college he plans to go-- He will be a success, that we know. Phyllis Montel £ the family type. When Lon's around, she doesn’t gripe. To get married is her ambition. She shopes to keep the old tradition. Tom Burch is our class Romeo, With the girls he's a dashing beau. The local girls all rate him on top. But Sandra has landed him with a flop. In our class we have a secretary. If before she does not marry. Rose Anna Ebbinghouse is her name; We wish her luck towards her aim. Next we come to Johnnie Floor, He's the boy we all adore. In school he is always very, very good; If any of us succeed, he should. Dorene Eltzroth is a guiet girl. With her hair done in a pretty curl. In the band she toots a flute. The tunes she plays are really cute. Devon Ogden is our class athlete. He is a guy that's hard to beat. His gal is named Ruth Harms, He says that she has many charms. In our class we have a new scholar, She’s as bright as a new silver dollar. Doris Haynes is her label. She will succeed because she's able. Now we come to Jacob Cormany, He’s helped the class to keep its harmony. In agriculture, Jake’s a whiz. He's one of the very best there is. Martha Hoover's a likeable gal. All of us think she's a wonderful pal. To be a success in life is her aim. We wish her luck and lots of fame. Next in line is Myrl Frantz He’ll succeed if given a chance. A farmer he would like to become. We hope his school work will help him some. Ruth Reiken is a quiet girl, we agree. But in our class there is none better than she. She can't decide just what to be. When we ask her she just says, We’ll see. Rex Baker, the president of our group. Does not let our spirits droop. He wants to attend college at Purdue, He’ll not have trouble making it through. Next we come to Carol Sue Fruitt, Now there’s a gal that's really cute. We all know she's stuck on Max, She says there is nothing that he lacks. Dorothy Shewman is a pleasant lass. She is the most polite of our class. A wife she some day hopes to be. Then she can start a family tree. Now we come to our tallest lad. He's a boy that's never sad. Richard Clingenpeel is his name. When it comes to basketball he’s a flame. Among us we have a future star. Now here is a girl that's bound to go far. Pat Hileman always is so sweet. We all think that she is hard to beat. Tall and slender and very straight, Jim Weitzel around Laketon carries much weight. No dpubt to college he will go. For brains a plenty he has to show. Mrs. Weber’s our sponsor kind, A better one is hard to find. Thank’s a million for all you’ve done, Our thanks is from us, everyone. Mr. Baldwin is our Chief, He's the man that saves us grief. Even though he makes us study We’re all proud of our old Buddy.

FARM BUREAU CO-OP, PIA-DE-ORAS This organization was founded in 1934 by Mrs. Weber and Mr. Boyer who have sponsored its growth and development ever since. There has been a continuous yearly membership of at least twenty students, and many years it was complete with twenty-five. However, 1950 the enrollment was extended to thirty in order to give more opportunity for program work to those desiring it. The purpose of Pla-De-Oras is to help develop program talent in play-debates-and orations. In April 1952, it will present the very excellent high royalty- play, 4'Our Hearts were Young and Gay. The club motto is We Learn to do by doing. BOOSTER CLUB This year our Booster Club was reorganized into a very succ- essful and active group. We are very proud of their strong back- ing and hope they keep up the good work through the years. Sponsored by BUTCH'S CAFE OC1' The Indiana Sunshine Society was started in 1901 by Miss Anna Wilson, the Principal of the Crawfordsville High School. The first pen that was used was a small canary. The first state convention was not held until 1922. This was at Lebanon, Indiana. The Laketon -Society is in District Two. The society includes almost every girl in the high school. It has been organized for quite a few years. Mrs. Mary Coe has been the sponsor for almost three years. This year she was selected as our District Two Dean. This year the Society held the Dis- trict Two Convention at Laketon. It was the first time to ever hold a conven- tion here. There were about 200 girls and sponsors here. The Sunshine off- icers are: President, Carol Sue Fruitt, Vice President, Agatha Conning, Sec- retary, Phyllis Hopkins, Treasurer, Artis Blocher, and sponsor, Mrs. Mary Coe. THE SUNSHINE CREED With love in my heart, forgetting self, and with charity for all, I will make the object of my life helpfulness and kindness to others. I shall try to fit myself to give intelligent service in making my community a safer and more beau- tiful place in which to live. Thus will my own life become rich and complete. Sponsored by MYERS IMPLEMENT SALES SERVICE LAKETON CHORAL GROUPS The Laketon choral groups, triumphant over contest victories last year, organ- ized this fall with forty-four members in Girl’s Glee Club, seventeen in Boy's Glee Club, and twenty-seven selectee voices for Mixed Chorus. Joanne Custer, Nellie Brubaker, and Carolyn Schuler served as accompanists for the respective choirs. Girls' Glee Club elected Phyllis Montel as president and Agatha Coning for secre- tary. The annual sacred concert, given in the gymnasium on the Sunday evening pre- ceding Thanksgiving, was climaxed with the combined choruses' rendition of Fred Waring’s arrangement of “Battle Hymn of the Republic. ’ The county festival, held at the Honeywell Auditorium in Wabash on March 9, highlighted our spring activities. And of course, there were contests--solo and ensemble on February 9; band and chorus on April 5. Sponsored by WABASH SPECIALITY CO. Music is a required subject in the seventh grades, but they have made it fun by organizing glee clubs. The girls have done part singing prev- ious to this year; but it is the first time there have been tenors, bari- tones, and basses among the junior high boys. They were a star feature on several assembly programs this year.

The organization is made up of boys enrolled in the agri- culture program who have a definite interest in bettering farm life. Some of our group activities are competing in judging contests, assis- ting and backing 4-H club activities, scrap drives, pest contests and com- munity projects such as making gates, clipping dairy cows, and vege- table seedling sales. The Green Hand Degree is bestowed upon beginning Future Farmer members. It is the first degree, and members may advance to the Chap- ter Farmer degree, then to the State Farmer and National Farmer de- grees. At the present time we have no State or National Farmer degrees as these are quite difficult to attain. The acquiring of these degrees will be our goal in the future.

THE SEASON Laketon had a fairly successful season this year, playing five games and win- ning three of them. We split our first two games with Chippewa and Roann, beating Chippewa and losing to Roann. The way our county tourney is set up, the two teams with the best percentages from the north end of the county play the two teams with the best records from the southern end in a four-way tourney to decide the county champion. With our one and one record, we had only to lose one more game to be out of the running. Our next game was with Central. It soon became apparent that Central had hopes of taking the tourney, too. When the dust had cleared, the score was: Central 9, Laketon 3. We went on to beat Urbana and, in our only our of coun- ty game, we won out over Chili by a score of 14-7.

This year the Booster Club has made possible a good cheering section, and we have most certainly had the cheerleaders to make this possibility into a reality. Last year every last one of our cheerleaders graduated, leaving not a single cheerleader in school. At the beginning of the basketball season several girls ans- wered the call for new yell leaders, but the ones who were finally chosen were two freshmen; Joyce French and Marjorie Sims, and a sophomore; Joanne Custer. Mrs. Coe acted as coach for these girls, and under her guidance the girls have grown into a yell leading team to be proud of. STUDENT MANAGERS Now it's time to turn our thoughts to those forgotten members of the basketball team----the student man- agers. Our first team manager this season is Dave Price, a freshman, whose picture is shown abouve. The manager for the second team is Ron- nie Miller, who is also a freshman. His bright and shining face may be seen in the second team picture. These two are the boys to whom all the dirty work of maintaining a bas- ketball team eventually passes. Whenever the coach needed some- one to do any odd jobs, these boys were always ready and willing to be of aid. Sponsored by SIM'S CORNER GROCERY FRANTZ DICK CLINGENPEEL TOM BRUCH _ This year we welcomed our new coach, Albert Spandau, with a squad of around ten lettermen. Mr. Spandau came to us from Chester Center in Wells County. New yell leaders were soon elected and a Booster Club formed, and then we were ready for our first game with Mexico. Well, November 2 finally rolled around at last, with Mexico, invading the Laketon goalhouse. The Tigers soon demonstrated that they were out to win, and the score at the end of the first quarter was 12-3. Laketon kept right on going this way, with the score at the half being 19-10, and the final score, 39-32. This was the first time in several years that Laketon had won their first game, and it was really a change for the better. Next on the list was Urbana. This game was also played at home. Urbana managed to withstand the Tiger’s attack for a while, but they, too, crumpled event- ually. The quarter scores for this game was 7-5, 18-11, 32-18, and the past period score was 39-25. Now came one of the ’’big” games of the season. This was with Chester, a team that we had not beaten for eight years, at Chester. The first half went slow, with both teams a little off on their shooting, and playing slow and cautiously. We hald a 6-4 lead at the end of the first quarter, and a slim 12-11 lead at the half. We started hitting in the last half, and we pulled out in front at the end of the third quarter 25-18. In the final stanza, we increased our lead to 39-25. Our win over Chester left us eager to meet Silver Lake and continue our win- ning streak. When Silver Lake arrived however, we had to change our way of thinking, for we were decisively beaten by the Ramblers. The Ramblers had run up a score of 22-7 on us at the end of the first quarter, and they increased it to 33-17 at the half. In the second half they took over just where they left off, with a score of 46-22 at the third quarter mark, and a final score of 57-28. Burning from their defeat at the hands of Silver Lake, the Tigers took the floor against Claypool and handed them a 49-43 defeat. We were hitting from out on the floor in the first half and then we moved in under the bucket in the second half. The quarter scores were 11-8, and 42-17 at the half, 36-23, and the final was 49-43.

We were handed the second loss of the season this night. The final score being 37-32. Next came Lagro, bringing us another victory on the Linlawn floor. The score for the game was 60-40. After that win, next came Sidney at Sidney. They handed us a defeat of 72-52. One New Years Day was the Four-Way Tourney at Manchester College. Those competing in this tourney were Laketon, Chester, Roann, and Central. First we drew Roann beating them in a thrilling game. The final score was 35-30. This victory put us into the final game of the tourney. We played Cen- tral who had won over Chester in the afternoon. This proved to be a real thriller, also. Laketon Tigers came through with flying colors to take the Four-Way Tourney by beating Central by one point. With the Four-Way Tourney just over, we again faced Roann, this time on the Indian’s floor. This game proved to be a disappointment to many Laketon fans. For the Indians beat us by a 29 point margin. Next came the County Tourney in Wabash. We drew Lagro beating them 64- 41. Our next game in the tourney was with Urbana. We beat the Speedkings in a thrilling game. The final score was 39-37. This victory put us into the semi- finals of the tourney. Our next opponent was Chester. This game was also a close one. We were ahead most of the game up to the last quarter, when the Panthers pulled ahead into the lead beating the Tigers by a close margin. Chester w o i to win the tourney beating a tired White’s Institute team 50-28. Our next scheduled was with Linlawn on the Laketon floor. The Tigers had little trouble sending the Pirates home with a 53-25 defeat. IN VC T ION % Q-AKEKMOA EOXDSUIRf Coast to Coast Stores Lutz’s Furniture Store Butler’s Barber Shop .
