She stopped for a while to rest, and fell asleep. The years quickly flew and one day twenty years later, she awoke from this deep sleep and found a Leprechaun sitting on a rock by her. He moved closer to her and soon she recognized him. He was Dennis Hiser, who was from Litchfield. The white beard had fooled her for a few minutes. After a brief chat with him she learned of how he had become a Leprechaun. Then both of them decided to set his automatic clock and turn back the pages of time to see what had happened during the years they had both lost contact with the world. On page one, Lawrence was the first human to go up in a Flopnik. Now we know where the second face on the moon came from, and why he never returned. Don Ellsworth is still in good shape, but of course he never did have any moving parts to wear out. Jack Fread made his first million by having his own lonely hearts club. To his millionth cus- tomer, he gave his wife. Loraine Schade is in Arabia, where she joined the harem of Shiek Abra Ca Dabra of the Sandy Dunes, She raises dates on the side. Nancy Dickerson went to California after graduation and became a Hollywood star in the year of 1965. Her latest movie is Bridie Murphy Finds That There Isn't a Thing Wrong With Her That Re-incarnation Won't Cure. Wes Bennett plays the trombone with Lawrence Welk, and doubles on the Bubble Machine. Donna Holmes finally got enough freckles together to have a beautiful suntan. She's AVAIL- ABLE boys ! LaVerne Reitz is married, but alas, he was color blind! On his tripto Mars, he got a green Martian wife. He is fast becoming tired of green cheese which she imports from the Moon. Gary Haller has become a scientist. We wonder if he is helping with the solutions, or if he is a part of the problem. Ross Dietz is now a Chief Petting Officer’ in the Navy. Bill Skala became a House Detective for a Drive in theater. He gets a lot of free popcorn that way. Wilma Asher is getting a guaranteed annual wage---Alimony. After ten other marriages she had finally decided to marry Frank. Gale Sweley repairs roofs. He hasn't had much business lately because his sign reads Roofs Repaired, Leaks guaranteed. Since I am the girl who fell asleep I know that if I am going to catch up with the twenty years of living my classmates have enjoyed I must be on my way--Good-Bye--friends. '24JM z td 7e4ttUHe it t£e 5% We, the senior class of 1958, being of said sound mind after four years of high school wnich is an accomplishment) do make public and declare this our last will and testament; thereby de- claring all former wills null and void: We, the seniors, will to Vernon Eastabrook our wonderful collection of dirt and paper. After all, why should't we leave it. To the faculty, we will the juniors. It's not much, but see what you can do with it. To the juniors we will our ability not to catch the dreaded disease. (Senioritis) To the sophomores we will our ability to fool teachers. Some of us did it four years. A re- cord ! To the freshmen we will any leftovers there may be. This seems to be a divine inheritance of theirs. I, Ross Dietz, will my nderful laughter to Donald Schade. Watch out, Don, it will give you away. 6 I, Gary Haller, will my ability (or shall we say lack of ability) to spell Doris Diefenbaugh. The teachers will give you good grades now, Doris, rather than admit they can't read it. I, cavern Reitz, will my innocent look to Ted Smith. It'll get you out of more than one pinch, Ted. I, Gale Sweley, will my ability to provoke teachers to Bob Young. You've got a nice start, Bob. I, Jack Fread, will my ability to do without girls to Ronald Michalek, It's getting used to it that always bothers most, Ronnie. I, Wilma Asher, will my gentleness to Linda Beaumont. Slower, Linda, slower. I, Marjorie Stephens, will Lawrence Waskowiak to Myrtle Mae Harris, Just keep him out of your hair and you'll be all right, Myrtle. I, Nancy Dickerson, will the senior boys to anyone who can stand them. I can't. I, Dennis Hiser, will my many heartthrobs to Wayne Sweley. Take them one at a time and you'll be all right, Wayne. I, Donna Holmes, will my shouting ability to anyone who can hear it. The teachers couldn't. I, Billy Skala, will my ability to hold on to my ring to Bonnie Holm If you can't hold on to your own, Bonnie, hold on to someone elses. I, Wes Bennett, will my ability to get rid of my ring to Bill Vocke. Just know where it's at most of the time, Bill, and you've got it made. I, Donald Ellsworth, will my large stature to Arnold Sekutera. No longer willyouhave to take a worm's eye view of things, Arnold. I, Lawrence Waskowiak, will my name to anyone who can spell it. You would be surprised how many times it's spelled Wash-your-back. I, Loraine Schade, will my quiet manner to Earl Hansen. It has a winning way with teachers, Earl We, the seniors will our sponsor to the juniors. Take her at her word, she means it. fjuttavi ‘PCcuf '57 eCl 0 1 7oe i 7 (?C Z44 'Z By Nancy Dickerson Twenty frightened but anxious freshmen climbed the hill that fail of 54 . We were classified as freshmen but had a number of nicknames and green was tacked on most of them. Our initiation party was an exciting evening full of wonder. The boys looked funny in high heels but it was good to see them taller than the girls for a change. Now that we were officially part of high school we started routine duties including lessons. We elected the following as our officers: President, Wes Bennett; Vice President, Billy Skala; Secretary, Nancy Dickerson; and Treasurer, LaVerne Reitz. Mr. Beller was chosen as our class sponsor. Our class party consisted of a picnic and show at Ravenna. Marjorie Stephens and Alfred Bauer left us at the end of our Freshman year. Because of all that happened to us we were determined to do just as much as possible to the future freshmen to make them as mixed up as we had been. We returned the next fall a little more sure of ourselves but we were still underclassmen. Loraine Schade and James Buddecke joined us that year. Our officers were: Jim Bonham, President; Wesley Bennett, Vice President; Nancy Dickerson, Secretary; and Gary Haller, Treasurer. Mr. Mills was elected to be our sponsor and Miss Ritter was asked to take his place when he left. Our parties con- sisted of a roller skating party with the freshmen and the second semester we had a picnic with a hay rack ride afterwards. I am sure none of us will ever forget the scavenger hunt or the ball game we had before the picnic. The waiters chosen from our class for the Junior and Senior banquet were Wes Bennett, Jim Bonham, Donnie Ellsworth, Gary Haller, Denny Hiser, and LaVerne Reitz. James Bud- decke left us at the end of the first semester. We started our Junior year with the same number, twenty, as Marjorie Stephens rejoined us. Now, at last, we were upperclassmen. Our officers were: President, Gary Haller; Vice President, Donnie Ellsworth; Secretary, Donna Holmes; and Treasurer, Dennis Hiser. Miss Lang was chosen as our sponsor. The junior year was full of activities besides the major highlights-the play and banquet. Everyone participated in the Junior play Beils On Their Toes. During the production of the play we had many funny experiences that will never be forgotten. The theme of the Junior-Senior banquet was The Stork Club. It's hard to say which was the more fun, the evening of the banquet or the de- corating for it. At the end of the year we lost Jim Bonham, Loyd Hansen, Larry Hawley, Mary Keehn, and Virgil Schulz. I wonder if the years will dim our memories or if we will remember ail the times we were moved from our assigned seats and stayed for ninth period. At last we're seniors-that respected but resented, envied yet scoffed at, bunch of kids. The class officers are: President, Gary Halier; Vice President, Donnie Ellsworth; Secretary, Wes Bennett; Treasurer, Marjorie Stephens; and News Reporter, Nancy Dickerson, Mrs. Diefenderfer and Mr. Cook were appointed the senior class sponsors. The senior activities are varied and interesting but it's certain we are kept busy. We held a sock hop as our first semester party.. Money making projects included a trap shoot and gleaning corn. The last one was hard work but there was enough fun to make the work bearable. Our play and senior trip added to the fun of this year and are two of the most im- portant highlights of our high school days. We look at our senior year with both sadness and pride. This year is a time for looking back and also for looking into the future. Three seniors, Nancy Dickerson, Donnie Ellsworth, and Marjorie Stephens started school and graduated together although they all went to school somewhere also for a short while. Graduation completes our high school life for us fifteen seniors. We are ail looking forward to graduation, some with anxiety, some with sorrow, and some with a mixture of both. One thing sure we will always remember our days at Litchfield High School and perhaps looking through this book will help us recall minor incidents of our high school days. D. Hiser G. Bauer L.

They sell food at home games and from the proceeds pay their expenses and buy sweaters for the senior girls. SENIOR Majorettes The Litchfield School band participated last summer in the Omaha Centennial Jubilee parade and Grand Island Centennial winning a reserve grand champion and a second place trophy re- spectively.

It is with regret that we go back to monotony of one o'clock study hall day after day, but the staff feels a sense of accomplishment in a job well done. The annual staff wishes to thank those who so graciously bore with us. The paper staff is welcome to our monopoly of typewriters now since we are through with them. As we go to press we believe this annual is the best one ever pub- lished at Litchfield. Whether or not we have succeeded in making it so we will leave up to you. RE. D. Hiser, RT. G. Haller, RG. R.

FOOTBALL The Litchfield Trojans broke the long winless drought this year with the win over Comstock and followed it shortly with a smashing defeat of Sargent to finish with a two-four record for the season. The last two games, Merna and Callaway, had to be cancelled because of a flu epidemic. Front row, left to right: R. Sweley, D. Kwiatkowsk, G. Haller, L. Reitz, D. Haller, R. Fread, L. Dolan, C.

Until Christmas the team had suffered only one loss. After Christmas vacation, the story was a little different. Although the Trojans were beaten out of the Loup Valley Conference Tourney by Sargent the first night, the team still received a conference crown of of co-championship. In the District Tourney Ansley was the first victim by over twenty points, Thedford followed losing by three points, and after many postponements, Arcadia and Litchfield met to decide the championship. Now the long hours of practice were to pay off, with the District Class C CHAMPIONSHIP, a totally new experi- ence for Litchfield. To date the basketball picture stands with a 12 win-5 loss re- cord. We can not hold up the press to put in the outcome of the regionals, we can only hope. The Litchfield Trojanettes blasted off this year with eight wins and two losses. With two years of experience they have developed fast spikers and a good defense. With this record and team, they hope to bring home a trophy in March from the Conference Tournament.
