Beach Vice-President D. Aldred Secretary P. Rush ton Treasurer D. Peterson Fifty freshmen, rather green, In L.H.S. were often seen. A goblin party quite sublime, Gave us nightmares of Frankenstein. We were often timid and seldom bold, Still we loved the black and gold. Oh! The joys of the sophomore year, Memories we’ll hold forever dear. We stood at the top for magazine sales, By selling on hills, valleys, and dales. Bright blue sweaters, weren’t they class-y? One for every lad and one for every lassie. We juniors are a mighty class. We take exams and hope to pass. See our class rings and how they glisten, Just bend an ear and give a listen. Of all the deeds we’ve yet to do, Two of these we’ll relate to you. Timely advice—“Now go to the prom. It’ll be colossal as the Atom Bomb.” The junior play—one hilarious event, Well worth your time and every cent. Our junior year has gone so fast, We’re certainly glad it’s not our last.

Lackey Vice-President R. Denson Secretary C. Valentine Treasurer C. Rich The second turn we now have made, On that long road, a steep upgrade. Doing our best as we should do, To fathom life a point or two. Subjects many as you can see, For our best, yes, you and me. Other interests for one and all, A must for us lest we should fall. Into the future we now must look, With serious thought of pen and book. Loyalty, courage, and spirit fine, Worthy tributes of our time. These we have, or hope to gain, Down the path of character and fame.

Turner Vice-President A. Kerr Secretary B. Hooper Treasurer R. Sisson When our freshmen year was begun, Our members numbered fifty-one. With sponsors, Hovermale and Creed, Our class would always take the lead. With Turner as president and “Bev” as secretary, Not a thing went wrong—all was bright and merry. Our vice-president was Kerr and our treasurer was Sisson. Those of you who’ve not met them just .don’t know what you’re missin’. Ruth and “Bev” took care of the dues, And Patty Teeters wrote the news. I think that all is very clear; They were our officers for this year. October the fourth was our freshman party; It found all the members hale and hearty. Our faces were all lit up with smiles; Since it was a hayride to “Jody” Skiles. We had the pep session for the Eaton game Which won our class a lot of fame. Our freshman year ended with 46 members; Ours will be a class that everyone remembers.

SEVENTH GRADE i 34 ELEMENTARY FIRST GRADE i I : First graders starting on their climb, Hoping not to break the line. For with their A B C’s And their 1, 2’s and 3’s Students they will be, if given time. Edith Wyant 36 FIRST GRADE Children starting into school First must learn to mind the rule; Learn to read, count, and write And color pictures very bright, A task for us, on chair or stool. Aileen Banta 37 SECOND GRADE The second year when back we came, Found things different and not the same. Arithmetic, just one big haze, Especially on the pretty days. But please be patient, it may end in fame. Helen Copple 38 Now we are back for number three, Just as happy as can be. Here we study of the world A place so big i t won’t unfurl, But don’t despair, students are we. Stella Woodward I i 39 FOURTH GRADE When the fourth year comes along, We know now it’s not a song; Because we have a lot of work And from that task we cannot shirk For to our school, we do belong. Katherine Lloyd 40 FIFTH GRADE Fifth grade comes next in our line. Teachers say, “They’re doing fine Never saw a brighter lot Not one lesson have they forgot.” We told you so, just give us time. Theodosia Everly 41 Hazel Shrigley The ladder of fame we slowly ascend, Seeking our mistakes thus to amend. Daily and weekly the time goes by, Mounting tasks, yet we always try, Thanks to all, it’s just our trend.

Each student who has participated in the band has found that it has widened his range of musical knowledge and has taught him to appreciate all types of music. Also, it has helped to develop co-operation and responsibility within the individual. Lapel is also proud of the accomplishments of the band as a unified organization. The most apparent accomplishment is the music it has furnished and the spirit it has contributed to all of the home basketball games. However, it has also given honor sweaters to four senior members—Myrneth An¬ derson, Hex Kramer, Harry Smith, and Victor Smith. The band has had the privilege of sponsoring motion pictures, American Legion ball games, and an operetta. The receipts from these entertainments, from the ice-cream sold, and several donations have made it possible to order new uniforms. 46 FRESHMEN GIRLS’ CHORUS 47 BOYS’ CHORUS SENIOR MADRIGAL 48 CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS SUNSHINE SOCIETY 49 MUSIC CLUB LATIN CLUB 50 YOUNG AMERICANS 51 Back row: Marjorie Massey, Harry Smith, Eulala Graham and Pauline Thomas, sponsors.

UN MODEL ASSEMBLY Pictured above are the student delegates, secretary and spon¬ sors who were chosen to represent Lapel High School at the mock United Nations Assembly meeting April 25-26 at An¬ derson College. The members of this delegation spent much time and energy in preparation for this erstwhile project. They were fully rewarded by the success of the meeting in which each school of the county participated. 52 THE DOCTOR HAS A DAUGHTER” The action of this nlay took place in the living room of the residence of Doctor Billings, a physician in a small midwestem town. Tommy, a teen-ager, and her friend Dodo kept the family m constant confusion. Matrimonial mix-ups of the house maid and an old-maid aunt added to the humor of the story. Alter contending with Tommy’s practicing for a play, her great suc¬ cess proved that all had not been in vain.

This play featured the characters—Manuel, a Mexican house- boy, Joe Mason, the sheriff, Cosmo Cheever, a famous botanist and others who held the undivided attention of the audience. The plot dealt with a murder mystery and the disappearance of the “body” of Carl Hammond, the owner of the Desert Inn. With the aid of “cracking pistols” peace and quiet reigned over Desert Inn.

A hilarious love affair was carried on between the pirate chief and Miss Primer. Then the marines appeared upon the scene and upset the pirates’ plans. At the close Dorothy Dear was reunited with her fiance, Billy, and Miss Primer got her man, the chief.

LOVE PIRATES OF HAWAII” 50 I BERNARD DEERR “Bernie” This being his first year at Lapel, he had a very good record as coach. He was very well liked by the boys who played for him. We wish him a lot of luck for next year. WILSON “Burly” He was outstanding this year as pivot man. He was a scoring threat in any game, collecting 366 points for his credit. Bob is a senior and will be greatly missed next year. HENDRICKS “Stubby” He was a very hard fighting, scrapping guard. He was always in the thick of things and getting his share of points, bagging 78. He is also graduating this year. 58 SYLVESTER “Silly” He wasn’t an exceptionally high point man but he was good on rebounds. He got 98 tallies for the “Dogs.” Dave is leaving us this year. Good luck, Dave. PARKER Strawberry He was the husky guard who made those long one handers. He got a total of 79 points. He is an¬ other senior. HELTERBRAND “Hildy” He was the bewhiskered sub¬ stitute who could fill in very nicely at center or forward. He bagged 16 points. Being a senior he will be greatly missed next year. i 59 SISSON “Firebug” He came in second in scoring, getting 137 points. He is only a junior; therefore a lot will be expected from him next year. FORRER “Porky” He was the smallest man on the squad, but he was always in there fighting. He hit 7 points. He too, has one more year with the Bulldogs. HOWELL “The Bobby Soxer” He was the fast sophomore guard. Jack was good both de¬ fensively and offensively. His total was 83 points. 60 VAN NESS “Rube” He was a fast, fighting, sopho¬ more forward; and could hit from almost anywhere on the floor. He stripped the nets for 94 points. MOORE “Egg” He was the clever sophomore forward who could be counted on at anytime. He really showed what he could do against St. Mary’s in the Sectional. He hit the draperies for 17 points. BARKER “Bill” He was the left-handed sopho¬ more forward who played on the second team all year. He didn’t get to play any on the first team, but he was one of the ten who went to the Sectional. 61 - WILLARD brown “B rownie” Assistant Coach JIM GRAHAM “Clayt” Student Manager DONALD SNYDER “Nanner” Statistician G2 Standing, left to right: Student Manager, J.
