BASEBALL Last spring we changed from softball to baseball. We had a fair season considering it was our first year of baseball for several years. Because of lack of experience, we didn't win all of our games; how- ever, our enthusiasm was great and we enjoyed playing very much. Although we didn't write any pages in history or get any splurges in the Chicago Tribune, we re- ceived several splash write-ups in the Wabash Plain Dealer. TRACK The Laketon Tigers of 1954 are looking forward to a good track season, with such returning letter- men as Jim Lyons, Gary Faudree, Phil Brown, Bob Montel, Charles French, Larry Montel, Charles Boyer, Jack Fulton, Paul Entsminger, Eugene Eltz- roth, Welby Simpson, and Ted Hudson. We enjoyed the track season last year, and are looking forward to an even better season this year. Sponsored by Pence's General Store 27

PERFORMERS SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Charles French President Philip Brown Vice-President Nellie Brubaker Secretary Jim Lyons Treasurer CLASS HISTORY Thinking back over the last six years at Laketon we recall many pleasant memories. When we finally reached the seventh grade we were filled with pride and enthusiasm. At last we had the right to walk upstairs with the older kids. We will never forget the mix-ups we got ourselves into during our first year upstairs. Our class officers were President, Phyllis Hopkins; Vice-President Bev- erly Baker; Secretary, Joanne Custer. Our sponsors were Mr. and Mrs. William Eberly. Next we entered the eighth grade. Our officers were President, Phillip Brown; Vice-President, Jo- anne Custer; Secretary, Gary Faudree. Our spon- sors were still Mr. and Mrs. Eberly. At last came the big event of entering our first year in high school. We had finally made the grade. Our officers were President, Gary Faudree; Vice- President, Bonnie Hunter; Secretary, Neva Bru- baker. This year our sponsors were Mr. Eberly and Mrs. Dick. The first thing we knew we were in our sopho- more year. Only three more years to go. This was the year we sponsored our Sophomore Skating Party at Warsaw. We also sponsored a Donkey Bas- ketball game. Our class officers were President, Phillip Brown; Vice-President, Charles French; Sec- retary, Beverly Baker. Our sponsors were Mrs. Dick and Mr. Spandau. Then we were Juniors. At last we were considered as upperclassmen. We had lots of fun giving our play Tattletale. We also had another skating party. One of our money-making projects was the concessions at the County Tourney. Our officers were President, Joanne Custer; Vice-President Gary Faudree; Secretary, Carolyn Schuler. Mr. Boyer be- came our sponsor and Mr. Spandau our co-sponsor. We all enjoyed the Junior-Senior Reception which was at the Chamber of Commerce Building in Ft. Wayne. Now came our final and last year. We were Seniors. The name of our play was I'm A Family Crisis. Mr. Boyer was still our sponsor. Our officers were: President, Charles French; Vice-President, Philip Brown; Secretary, Nellie Brubaker; and Treasurer, Jim Lyons. One of our main projects of the year was our magazine campaign ended by a delicious turkey supper for the girls. It was pre- pared by the boys. We are still working hard to- wards our main goal, our senior trip. Those that have been in our class all twelve years are Beverly Baker, Joanne Custer, Carol Moyer, Carol Moore, Connie Hileman, Carolyn Schuler, Phyllis Hopkins, Sharon Creager, Dale Holle, Dave Shock. Shirley Michael, Tom White. Bonnie Hunter, Max Gray, and Nellie Brubaker. Philip Brown has been with us since Christmas time during the first grade. As graduation comes closer, our class will soon be separated, but we will always remember our happy times together in dear old Laketon High School. Sponsored by Carroll's Drug Store 28
