I The Ou u er U ill Appreciate Its Return ORE1PORD In this book are represented the entire activities and accomplishments of a very active and worth-while year. It should stand as one of the notable achievements of the Class of Nineteen Twenty-eight. THE 1928 La PIERRE Published By THE CLASS OF 1928 I.APFEk HIGH SCHOOI PAGE THREE in this world will depend largely on the character we have built, the knowledge we have gained and the practical application of the things we have learned through the interesting experiences of our High School life. The paths that we have trod in the past years have not all been easy, and many times we could see no actual benefit in the tasks we were asked to perform; but now those views have changed, and we do not look back on our studies with a pang of regret, but rather with a sense of pride and satisfaction that comes only through the assurance that our tasks have been worth while and absolutely necessary in the development of our character. The pleasures we have enjoyed through study and the various activities have far overshadowed our disappointments. May the thought of them always be present in our minds and encourage us in the times of trial. i We are indeed grateful to the Faculty for the many favors shown, and the kind assistance which has made our High School life a most pleasant one. To the School Board and Citizens who have made our educational training possible, we wish to express our appreciation. We feel that the publishing of this annual is not solely a Senior Class project, but rather an annual in which each student has played a vital part and worked hard toward a common end—that of preserving the pleasant memories of the days spent in Lapeer High School. - THE EDITOR PAGE FIVE DEDICATION With Sincerest Appreciation and Gratitude The Class of 1928 Wishes to Dedicate This Volume to I.EANDER BEACH for His Efforts in Behalf of Lapeer High School. PAGE SIX PAGE SEVEN o NE nf the most important groups or organizations in our present complicated system of education and community life is the Board of Education. Giving much of their time, talent and thought free of charge, usually never given a thought by the average man, and often criticized and condemned, hut seldom praised, tfc-- this group acts as a compromiser between teacher, student and parent, as as a stabil-izor over our entire system of education. Their duty it is to sec that our schools are kept up to date and managed by efficient teachers; at the same time keeping expense with reasonable bounds so that the cost will not be too burdensome to the people. All of these things and more we feel that the Board of Education of our city has done in the fullest measure. Our present efficient and modern system of education has been due in no small way to this group of men. Made up of men from various walks of life, some of whom have been continuous members for nearly a quarter of a century, with broad vision and foresight, and with many different opinions they have always worked to produce the best results for school and community. Feeling sure that our educational system will always be under the guidance and control of such an efficient Board, we need not worry about the future. And so we “take off our hats in appreciation to the members of our Board of Education Dr. W. J. Kay, Mr. Kirk White, Mr. A. C Holland, Mr. Elgin Turnbull, Mr F L l.arry, Mr. E. L. Paddison and Mr E. T White. PAGE NINE PAGE ELEVEN E. E. IRWIN Superintendent LEANDER H. REACH Principal Senior High Physical Sciences MRS.

PAGE TWENTY-FIVE Cldss History The Class of 1928 was honored by being the first Freshman Class to enter the new High School. We organized our Class, in our first year, with Miss Alexander as sponsor and Maurice Hill as president. We enjoyed two parties, one a sleighridc and the other a class picnic, held at Nepessing Lake in June. Then came exams and graduation and we were verdant freshies no longer. We returned to school the next September resolved to make our Sophomore vear a successful one. The term began with Miss Pacholke as class sponsor and Louise Thompson as president. Hazing was a forbidden sport and in its place was offered the first annual Class Rush. The Frosh won, due to superior numbers, but we did not let this minor defeat deter the enjoyment of a class party held that night at Bronson Lake. This year also for the first time, inter-class boys and girls basketball was intro dueed. Our girls team, under the management of Louise Thompson, came out second but the boys were not as fortunate. We closed our year with a class picnic at Lake Pleasant. September 7 marked the opening of our Junior year, one of the most important in our four years of high school. Election of officers resulted in the selection of Maurice Hill as president and Miss Asman as sponsor. The first social event of the season was a very enjoyable party with Dorothy Jones as hostess. In October wc selected and received our class rings. The Junior girls basketball team won the inter-class championship and the cup. The annual Junior play, “Bab,” was the most successful play presented by any Junior class. It was produced under the direction of Mrs. B. F. Reed and the stu dents comprising the east were: D. Tinder, C. VanWagoner, E. Francis, R. Taylor, O. Baird, M Hill, V. Russell, B. Myers, C. White, E. Holmes and W. Graves. The proceeds from this play enabled us to present the Seniors with a successful and very enjoyable J-Hop. We entered sc he Mil September 6, 1927, for our last year of high school. Class meeting was held September 14 and the election of officers resulted as follows: Carlton VanWagoner, president; Ellen Holmes, vice president; Grace Gra and Cleo Rowley, treasurer. A cast composed of Seniors presented 1 Place” in assembly and later to the Teachers Convention at Lapeer. a bake sale December 24. The Senior Class much regretted the departure of one of its mer (dray, to Flint. Miss Gray's position as secretary was filled by Emily Fi The Senior girls basketball team had a very successful season, win terclass championship for the second time. The boys lost the final gam pionship to the Sophomores. PAGE TWENTY-SIX In March, the class having decided to publish an Annual, the staff was appoint ed and work began almost immediately. It has also always been one of the aims of the Class of '28 to take a trip in our Senior year, and wc arc hoping that we can carry out this project creditably. Members of our class who participated in athletics are: Ervin Rauh, captain of the football and track teams; Donald Clark, Carlton VanWagoncr, Eldred Dunlap, Lloyd Coulter and Carl Neilson. Last IDill of the Class of 28 Hear Ye! Be it known to all men that we, the illustrious members of the Class of 1928, being of sound mind and body, do hereby proclaim this, our last will and testiment.

Russell Taylor bequeaths a much used booklet of his, How to Cure Stuttering, to Enoch White. To some trustworthy person, Cleo Rowley leaves her job of writing excuses. PAGE TWENTY-SEVEN � g If such a thing is possible, Adelaide Fernea and Evelyn Ruddock would like to confer their new hair-cuts to Bernice Tavlor. Margaret Wallace and Christine Ross bequeath their Grand Opry” voices to Marjorie Kerr and Howard Wilson. Ingeborg Nielson leaves Ruth Donaldson a few compacts together with a bar of Palmolive soap to bring back that school girl complexion!” Dorothy Dent leaves her sylph-like figure to Joyce VanWagoncr.

Knowing that it will prove very useful, Eldred Dunlap bequeaths his Basketball knowledge to Marcia Cary. Walter Graves leaves the remaining ten lessons of his correspondence course to Ted Shepherd. Dorothy Jones bequeaths her perfect attendance record to Don Vanderlip. Ellen Holmes, Vivian Russell and Frances Barnes confer their adaptness at typing to Chet White. Donald Clark and Glenn Oviatt bequeath their Damon and Pythias friendship to Max Daniels and Art Cooper. Eva Sorenson, Beatrice Morey and Florence Halpin leave their superfluous Titian locks to Mr. Beach, who claims his supply is rapidly disappearing. Beverly Beatty and Erv Rauh jointly concede their mutual love for each other to Miss Lindsey and Mr. Beauchamp. Irene Cliff and Phyllis Boshaw confer their cook-b‘.x ks to two well-known bachelors, Howard Cooper and Raymond Williams. North West leaves his hot air to the Eureka Balloon Co., Inc. Anna Christianson bequeaths her noisy and bothersome disposition to Perry Banghart. In conclusion, the Class as a whole wish to leave their Senior dignity and any other traits which they may have acquired in High School, to the Class succeeding them, the Class of 1929.

Two Irishmen were attending a con cert and an argument arose as to the title of the selection being played. “It's the Devils Song from Faust, said Mike. “No, it ain't, replied Ike, “It's the Prisoners Song from Sing Sing. So to settle it, Mike arose and made his way down the aisle to where he saw a sign prominently displayed. In a moment he returned. “We’re both wrong, he announced. It's the Refrain from Spitting.” “Sit down in front, howled the irate spectator. P. Banghart: “Aw shut up, I don't bend that way.

Mr Irwin: Why did you study French, Spanish and German? Simy: So I'd be able to eat alpha- betical soup in four languages. A Senior is a person who waits for a Freshman to come along and push the revolving door. Erv R.: What makes you so giddy? John R: I just came out of the circu- lating library. The steak was a la carte so the student told them to wheel it in. PAGE TWENTY-NINE 2 s§ The Junior Class The first meeting of the Junior Class was notable for the pep and personality that has been manifested since our Freshman year. Three important questions were decided at this time, September 27. The questions were colors, rings and a party. Scarlet and silver were chosen as colors, the rings were talked over and a party date v'as set for October 7th. In the following meeting the Girls Basketball Team with Elaine Hayden as cap' tain, was organized, and the Boys Team with DeVere Lynck as an able leader was started with daily practice. The Class is proud to have such athletes as John Roberts and James Bentley. John is fullback on the Varsity Football Team and captain of our Varsity Bas' ketball Team. James Bentley is a guard on the mythical Tournament Team of the Thumb. Perhaps it would be well at this time to go into a little history of our past jears. In both Freshman and Sophomore years we won the Inter class games. In our Sophomore year Marcia Cary won the State Championship in Declamation. John Roberts won the Baird Cup. As previously mentioned, James Bentley is the CaptaiivElcct of our Football Team. He played center this year. The Class is repre-sented in all our school clubs and activities. No field has left us without an entry. We even have a Student Council President in our midst. Our Junior Play represented the combined work and co-operation of the entire Class. The advertising chairman, Harold Cliff; the ticket committee, Russell West tr.d Leona Smith; the program committee, Marjorie Kerr and Adele Mcthcney, and the general zest and enthusiasm of the Class made it an outstanding “hit. The farce, “The Whole Town's Talking, was ably directed by our sponsor. Miss Elizabeth Lindsey, and the cast went so far as to enjoy the practices. As a token of their ap-preciation the Class presented Miss Lindsey with a bouquet. The Class looks forward now to the gala-night of the Junior Prom and even though it means hard work, our tired feet will tnp gaily to the wails of a “sax or two. The mantle of dignity that has been hovering over us since our Freshman day will soon be wrapped about us and it will change us from gay Juniors to studious and sincere Seniors.

At the September election of officers the following were selected: Howard Cooper, president; Kenneth Stanton, vice president; Perdic Taylor, secretary; Gerald Dockham, treasurer; Howard Wilson, assistant treasurer, and Fern Cool, 10B treasurer. In spite of our defeat by the Freshmen in the Annual Class Rush, the boys worked hard in basketball and after a series of difficult games won the inter-class cup. We were also well represented in football, basketball, baseball, track, debating and declamation. In November we took the agency for several magazines and made a success of it. To celebrate our success we gave a party in the gym on December 8. Everybody enjoyed themselves dancing and playing Bunco In February we were joined by the incoming 10B Class. Our first project was a Sophomore play, “The Man Next D x r, which was held in the auditorium April 23. The play did a great deal toward increasing our treasury. As a Sophomore Class we feel this has been a very profitable year and our aim is to have every one a Junior next year. 10A Helen Metheney 10B Pauline, Allen Glee Milliken Jean Boegner Alice Anderson Margaret Mitchell Kathleen Boegner Gladys Alyea George Moore Lawrence Burt John Basco Erna Nielson Josephine Beckman Fdwin Belz Milton Porter Fern Cool Richard Belz Tom Raymond Fred Conley Florence Beattie Clyde Raymond Ethel Cole Ruth Carter Irene Rossman Dorothy Cummings Bill Carpenter Donald Schwartz Robert Drainer Howard Cooper Thelma Smith Fredolph Fisher Nettie Dunlap Norvel Smith Bessie Golden Gerald Dockham Edwin Spalding Elnore Gibbons Ruth Donaldson Gertrude Shay Howard Griffith George Duncan Eula Spencer Albert.

The Class Rush was a highly interesting event. The Freshmen won the meet by winning the tug-of-war. The Girls and Boys basketball teams did very well, considering their lack of experience. At Christmas time the Junior High enjoyed a party in which the Freshman Class took part. In February the 8A's joined our class, increasing our members by about 30. The officers of the first semester were: James McMullen, president; vice-pres-ident, Helen Slater; secretary, Jean Taylor; treasurer, 9A class. Fern Cool; for the 9B class, Grant Buby.

Keeping this in mind, we have endeavored to keep up the interest shown by producing an Annual which we hope will meet with your approval. It has been no small task to gather the material presented on these pages, but if in so doing we have created a little more enthusiasm, a little more interest, a little more pride in these things that pertain to Lapeer High School, we will con-sider our time and our efforts well spent. —THE STAFF.

Marcia Cary was elected to the office of president; Billy Myers, vice-president, and James Bentley, secretary-treasurer. On October 14 the first meeting was called and volunteers were asked to serve on various standing committees. One can see by the duties which arc performed, that this is quite an active organization. Besides this, the Annual Class rush is completely in charge of the Student Council. They also are planning to sell refreshments at the County Field Meet in June. The members and the committees on which they serve are as follows: Excuse Writing, Emily Francis, Cleo Rowley; Car Parking, James Bentley, Bill Myers; Master-key Custodians, John Roberts, Lewis Ward; Flag Committee, Walter Graves; Gym Duty, John Roberts.

Organized for the purpose of fostoring educational development intermingled with social functions the Club has taken the opportunity to bring to Lapeer numerous speakers of note and has staged some pleasing parties. Notably among the events carried on during the year were: Fredrick Vining Fisher’s lecture. The teachers' play, The Valiant,” for assembly. The teachers’ play, Her Husband's Wife, for the benefit of the Student Loan Fund. Entertainment of the Legion people who went to the recent Paris Convention.

At that time twelve pupils who were considered best suited to that work were asked to join. Mr. Yaeger, acting as sponsor, explained that the ushers were to keep order dur ing assemblies, pep meetings, to usher all events held in the auditorium, and at any time to usher visitors through the building. The number was later limited to twenty, and divided into two groups with a head usher for each group. Each year as certain members graduate, enough mem' bers are voted in to keep the membership at twenty. Ushers— Louise Thompson. Head Usher John Roberts.

The Home Economics Club of 1928 has 2? members, which have been working for the benefit of the department, school, and community. To establish a closer relationship of parents with club and department, a ban quet was served in conjunction with the Agricultural Club, having Miss Ruth I reegard. State Supervisor of Home Economics, as a speaker, who gave a very edu-rational address. Banquets also were served to the Rotary Club, to the Lapeer Athletes, and to the Women's Federation of Clubs.

The Club was reorganized soon after the beginning of the school year of 1927 under the direction of Mr Beauchamp and Miss Pacholke. The purpose of the Club is to develop better business men and women. The Commerce Club has had charge of three assemblies, all of which have been interesting. The speakers for these assemblies were. Mr. J. W. Crist of Chicago, who spoke on “Selling Yourself;' Mr. E. E. Baker of The Baker Business University, who talked on “The City of Success, and Mr. Orrcn Denney of the Smithsonian Institute, who gave an illustrated lecture on “Wild Life of Africa. The Club has sponsored several successful sales to raise money to finance our annual trip in June and also have donated twenty-five dollars towards an adding machine to be purchased for use in the bookkeeping department.

The school as a whole took third place in the total number of points won. PAGE FORTY-SEVEN Q'he Radio Club Radio Club started this year under the disadvantage of having lost all of its old officers and many of the old members through graduation. However, we have a fine five-tube Browning-Drake receiver nearly completed and arc laying plans for a short wave transmitter for next year. The members of the club this year have s'lown a great deal of interest in radio transmitting and through the help of Mr Howard Sessions, of The Short-Wave Transmitting Station 8-ANO of Flint, we expect to construct a short wave station here next year. The club has worked very hard this year to raise enough money to construct a modern receiver, and through the efforts of one of our members, Richard Beardsley, who succeeded in selling most of the Frost-Bites at the District Basketball Tournament, and the work that the candy making group did, we raised enough money to build the set we wanted. Our object in having this organization is to promote an interest in radio throughout the community, to interest the pupils in what promises to be the greatest industry the world has ever known, to help the people of the community to solve the numerous problems that come up about radio in this community, and to promote an interest in the local broadcasting station, that has done so much to further an interest in radio throughout the vicinity.

Club is to bring things of agricultural importance be-fore the community and the Ag. students in school. A meeting is held every two weeks at which speeches and discussions on important topics are given. A monthly paper is published which contains things of interest to farmers and everyone in general. The Home Economics and Ag. Club banquet, which is held annually, was a big success this year, about two hundred people being present. The members are— Carl Nielson. Pres.

The first meeting was held September 27. The vigorous campaign for funds was again undertaken and successfully tarried out. Our aim is to furnish curtains for the doors in the auditorium. One of the important events of the year was the “Spring Carnival ' which was held March 9th, this being one of the various ways of making money. A more enthisiastic group has never undertaken and successfully carried out a more interesting course than have the members under the sponsorship of Mrs. Kay. Mildred Abbey. President Evelyn Ruddock.

The Club meets every Thursday at Home Room period, at which time many topics are discussed and reports given. The Club has had two owls, a hawk, and a bat stuffed and mounted and has purchased from the Biological Supply House several specimens of marine animal life for the museum and class-room demonstrations. The officers for the first semester were: Ray Eastman, president; Thelma Kelly, vice president; Ruth Thom, secretary: Norman Carter, treasurer; Lawrence Heming, attendance officer; Miriam Warren, reporter. The new officers for the second semester are: Miriam Warren, president; Ray Eastman, vice-president: Josephine Beckman, attendance officer, and Marion Lucas, reporter. The Club, sponsored by Miss Brcoker, has the following members: Chester White Ray Eastman Addie Warren Thelma Kelly Elnore Gibbons Verena Ward Dorothy Cummings Josephine Beckman Mariam Warren Marion Lucus Alice Patten Ema Neilson Ruth Thom Norman Carter Alice Watters Marguerite Lyuk Donald Harrison Billie Barber Gordon Gillette PAGE FIFTY-ONE Orators—Debators—Declaimers Although they were unable to get in the State eliminations, the debators had a very successful season. The negative team, composed of Marcia Cary, Elaine Hay den and Bill Myers, won both their debates, while the affirmative team, on which Marcia Cary, Bill Myers and Enoch White debated, lost the two debates which they were in only by two to one decisions. Russell Taylor, Berdie Taylor and Frances Barnes were substitutes who took part in practice debates. The results of the debating season are: November 27 Lapeer 2; Rochester 1. December 16—Lapeer 3; Owosso 0. January 13—Lapeer 1; Howell 2. January 26—Lapeer 1; Oxford 2. Lapeer has been brought especially great fame along oratorical lines. Marcia Cary, of declamatory fame, won out in the District contest with her oration, A Plea for the Jews,” thus earning the chance to compete in the State contest on May 18. Berdie Taylor represented Lapeer in declamations and won fourth place in the sub-district contest. PAGE FIFTY-TWO Cfhe Stage Creu; One of the hardest working and least credited clubs in school is the Stage Crew. Under the direction of Mr. Davey, they have complete charge of the stage any time it happens to be in use. Moving scenery, furniture, properties, in fact, any work which is done on the stage is carried out entirely by them. They are divided into two groups who alternate in the performance of their work. In group one, the boys and the position which they fill arc: Movie Operators: Charles Laughlin. John Roberts. Curtain: Earl Harborn. Lights: George Moore. Scenery and Properties: Ray Eastman. Dick Beardsley and Bill Carpjnter In group two: Movie Operators: Erve Rauh. Everett Floyd. Curtain: Lawrence Fleming. Lights: Walter Bard. Scenery and Properties: DeVere Lynk and Arthur Stringer. Floyd Spencer acts as manager and has charge of both groups PAGE FIFTY-THREE ' BABV THREE FISH SURELY NOT TEACHERS OIGNIFIED SENIORS JUNIOR PRES. Cfhe Leland Baird Memorial Cup In order to perpetuate the memory of one of Lapeer's outstanding athletes, Leland Baird, this memorial cup was presented hy John F. Yaeger in 1924 For the past five years this cup has been presented to the best athlete having the highest scholastic standing. It is the greatest honor that can be bestowed upon a Lapeer High School athlete and should continue to be the ultimate goal of every athlete representing Lapeer High School. The first four to be awarded the honor of retaining the cup for one year are: Paul Moon ______________________ 1924 John D. Donaldson _____________ 1925 Colburn Potter __________________ 1926 John Roberts___________________ 1927 PAGE FIFTY-SIX The Kirk IDhite Memorial QYophq Another very highly coveted award is the Kirk White Memorial Trophy in honor of Kirk White, who made a lasting influence on football morals. The team of 1922, on which Kirk demonstrated his superiority both as a player and sportsman, annually presents this trophy to the most valuable player on the team. In 1926 Robert Connors won the award and Ervin Rauh was presented with it this season. PAGE FIFTY-SEVEN JIM BEHTUEY j center KRV!

Yaeger and Captain Ervin Rauh. The Varsity pig-skin chasers for the most part were light and inexperienced. The opening game of the season was played with Hadley, Lapeer winning hy a large margin. The remaining games were not so easy, Lapeer winning only three out of the remaining scheduled games. However, contrary to the expectations of Lapeer and nearby vicinities, she romped to a decisive victory for the third consecutive time iver her old opponents, Imlay City. Donald Clark, Lapeer’s end of 1927, was picked for the All-Thumb team. The squad consisted of: Captain Ervin Rauh Captain-Elect James Bentley Grant Carter Linwood Hagenmaster Owen Laughlin Richard Beardsley Floyd Spencer Donald Clark John Roberts Tom Raymond James McMullen Billy Carpenter Gerald Dockham Enoch White Howard Stone Benjamin Dunlap Clifford Taylor Howard Cooper Ted Shepard Lyle Jones Lawrence Burt Wayne VanWagoner Paul Dugan Their Record Lapeer -----------------------------26 Lapeer _____________________________ 0 Lapeer _____________________________ 0 Lapeer _____________________________ 3 Lapeer _____________________________ 6 Lapeer ____________________________31 Lapeer _____________________________ 6 Lapeer _____________________________ 7 Lapeer _____________________________ 6 Hadley ___________________________ 0 Saginaw _________________________25 Richmond _________________________20 Vassar __________________________ 13 Rochester ________________________26 St. Mathews_______________________ 0 Oxford____________________________ 0 Grand Blanc_______________________27 Imlay City _______________________ 0 The Athletic Board of Control The jurisdiction of the Athletic Board covers the fields formerly supervised by coaches acting independently, and by standing and special committees. It approves all tentative schedules submitted, gives rulings on questions of eligibility, settles ap peals, sanctions awards, etc. Its members consist of an alumnus, Harry Myers; the superintendent, E. E. Irwin; a school board member, Tom White; two members of the coaching staff, Mr and Mrs. J. F. Yaeger; a member of the faculty, Leander Beach, and two members from the student body, Louise Thompson and Carleton VanWagoner. PAGE PIFlTf-NINE 4- bogs basketball Soon after the football season closed, basketball practicing began. A large squad turned out for the preliminary drilling on the fundamentals of the game. January 7 we traveled to Flint, but only to be defeated by a far superior team. The next two games with Orion and Oxford, the Gold and Blue dashed through to a victory by an overwhelming score. Then came the queer upset of the Imlay game and Lapeer vowing to get revenge in the next battle. Lapeer won the next two games, with Rochester and Caro, but lost to Flint Northern. Then we defeated Grand Blanc, Imlay and Yale, but lost once more to Flint Northern. The total number of games played was 14. We won eight and lost six, and had a percentage of .571. The second or reserve team scheduled games. They deserve very high praise, for without a second team, the first team could not exist. They had scheduled 10 games, Orion reserves, Hadley, Oxford reserves, Imlay City reserves and Almont. They won eight games, lost one and tied one, with a I'ercentage of .800. The Junior High had a very good basketball team, which through hard, steady practice, will finally develop into a hard fighting team. And in later years they will do their share in upholding the traditions of the Gold and Blue. In the first week of March the District Tournament representing the D and C classes was held here for the third consecutive year. The counties represented were Lapeer, Genesee and part of Sanilac and Huron. The District Tournament is an elimination contest in which the winner goes to the State Sub-District, and if successful there, proceeds to the State contest. Lapeer was not quite as successful this year as in the preceding years. We were defeated by Brown City the second evening. The Tournament was well attended by the Lapeer fans as well as the visitors from the contesting schools and it was very successful.

PAGE SIXTY-ONE Qirls basketball On January 13 girls inter-class basketball started, the Seniors receiving the varsity suits. Each week a game was played, some as preliminary games before the boys varsity. This is the first year that inter-class basketball has taken the place of girls varsity, and great interest was shown. All the classes wore their colors either on their middies or as decorations. Each class played the three other classes, making a total of twelve games. The Seniors, being older and more experienced, had a slight advantage, winning all their games by a large percentage, including a picked team from the three lower classes. The Sophomores played very creditable games, coming in second, being defeated only by the Seniors. The Seniors also won the silver cup when they were juniors, this being their second successful year. The girls who played on the Senior team are as follows: Forwards Ora Baird Frances Barnes Regina Donner Centers Emily Francis Geraldine Gillett Dorothy Jones Cleo Rowley Delores Tinder Guards Beverly Beatty Adelaide Fernea Margaret O'Brien Louise Thompson Take pleasure in the game, even though you do not obtain the victory; for the purpose of the game is not merely to win, but to find jo and strength in trying. —Henry VanDyke PAGE SIXTY-TWO Oracle In spit of the adverse weather conditions, with which the track men have been confronted, they have been working diligently through ra n or shine so that when the first gun sounds, it may find them ready. The prospects for this year's team are very bright and with several of the veterans back and a promising squad of new candidates. Coach Yaeger hopes to organize a team of which Lapeer High can be limly proud. To arouse interest in track and to uncover any hidden possibilities. Coach Yaeger prepared an Inter-class Track Meen which was held May 7 and 8. This meet opened the track season and afterwards the schedule was n t so easy. The schedule includes: May 7-8 Inter-class Meet. May 12 Thumb Meet at Yale. May 19 -State Meet at East Lansing. June 1—County Meet at Lapeer. June 9 Tri-County Meet at Lapeer. Baseball Since 1925, baseball has been dropped from the rank of a major sport in Lapeer High School, and although the team last year was not authorized by the Board ot Control, it really started a renewed interest in Baseball and as the result the Board again authorized it as a major sport and agreed to give it whole-hearted support. jrj When the call was issued for candidates this spring, a squad of 25 men reported and under the leadership of Coach Beauchamp, who has given his time and services toward the interest of the team, and Manager Bard the men have been working hard with the hopes of having a team of championship caliber. The prospects for the season are very bright, but the success of the team will depend largely upon the support of the student body. The schedule includes: April 24—Hadley at Lapeer. April 26—-Lum at Lake Pleasant. April 27 Oxford at Oxford. May 4—Vassar at Vassar. May 11—Columbiaville at Lipeer. May 18 Rochester at Lapeer. May 23—Orion at Orion. May 25 Imlay at Imlay. PAGE SIXTY-THREE PAGE SlXTY-FfVE ------- Cfhe Band Our High School Band has finally developed into an organization of which we can he justly proud. The hand has been in great demand all year and more interest has been shown both by the students and the public than ever before. For the first time in the school history the band has furnished music at all athletic events and has played at assemblies at different times throughout the year. Besides playing an important part in the school activities, the Band has aroused the interest of the public and has been able to receive the loyal support which is necessary for the '-access of any organization. The Band started the concert season by a public concert in the auditorium which was very successful both financially and socially and which helped to arouse the interest that had been lacking. These concerts were continued with a series of sacred concerts given alternately at the Methodist and Presbyterian Churches at union services and were so successful that plans are being made for their continu ance. Perhaps the most interesting project of the Band was the concert tours to Meta mora, Hadley and Almont, giving the people of the county a chance to hear the Band and also giving us a source of earning money and, as a result, we have ab ready increased the instrumentation by the purchase of many new instruments. The experience gained at these concerts has been of great value both to the organ' ization as a whole and to each individual member. The good times had on these trips will never be forgotten and we feel that the success of the Band depends di' rcctly on the friendship and cooperation of the members. Mr. Weidemaicr, the director, has played an important part in the success of the Band and has generously devoted his time and energy to the welfare of the or-ganization. Mr. Torrey, as private instructor, has also played a large part in the development and accomplishments of the Band.

At the first meeting a manager, Donald Vanderlip, a secretary. Ora Baird, and librarians. Zona Stephenson and Marjorie Kerr, were elected. It has made rapid progress, having been asked to play at many important functions during the year. Among these are: Commercial Club Banquet at Bar- rctt Hotel, two sacred concerts sponsored by the High School at the Methodist and Presbyterian Churches, the Junior Play, ‘The Whole Town's Talking,” and many other places. The Orchestra meets every Tuesday from three-thirty until four-thirty.

Keeping this in mind, we have been working hard with the hope of organizing a larger and more efficient band that ever before. Practice has been held regularly twice a week and the band has played at various assemblies and entertainments throughout the year.

We have also assisted in giving programs at Metamora, Hadley and Almont. We consider our year fairly successful and we are eagerly looking forward to the Musical contest which is to be held May 4th We hope to make a success of this and to be able to enter in the State contest.

Our meetings have been most interesting, combining business, instruction and a social time successfully. The objective of the club has been to foster interest in plays and develop dramatic talent among the student body. To date we have presented at least one one-act play every month at assembly. These performances include The Trysting Place, The Silent System, Modern Day Courtship, The Unseen, and The Dust of the Road. The fact that these plays have been repeated at the request of outside organizations—some as often as three times—proves the interest they aroused. Two other productions, “Miss Civilization and Fingerbowls of Araminta, are scheduled for the Spring term. At the end of our first year we feel that our work has not only been enjoyable, but worth while; and that next year we look forward to enlarging our scope of activities, as well as our field of interest.
