Class Tree of 1952 Did you ever see the Class Tree of l952l ?' Well come take a look at it. It was planted and started growing on September 2, 194-0, The Board of Education chose Miss Irene Swanson as its first caretaker and by the end of the year, with much watering, trimming, and care it had nine small branches of which Janice Alton and Marian Pippitt were members of the 1952 graduating class, The next year, since Miss Swanson had resigned from the caretaking position, Geraldine Brinker assumed the responsibility, and although one branch dropped off, three new ones were gained, Soon the Tree of 1952 was three years old and although it was growing in strength it sprouted one new branch, partly replacing the two that had dropped off. During its fourth and fifth year the tree had Mrs, Lena Pippitt for a caretaker and though it was well cared for, only four branches survived, In its sixth year, with Gertrude Edmonds caring for it, the -'tree began to grow again gaining three new branches, among which was Anne McColley, who is one of the present graduation class, However, one was lost. As the tree continued to grow in strength during its seventh year, Mrs. Edmonds again cared for it, When it became' eight years of age, its size was increased by the addition of Bill Harl, Betty Wagner and Mrs, Harry Smith were its caretakers and helped to prepare it for the next four years, As it started its ninth year the Tree of 1952 had grown so well that now it needed extra caretakers, Superintendent E, B, Fritz, and his helpers, Principal Vada Glasser, Maude Olney, and John Rice, were chosen to nurture the tree of ten branches, who were Janice Alton, Donnie Bohall, Evelyn Carbaugh, Bill I-larl-, Dale Heistand, Anne McColley, Harry Mikkleson, George O'Day, Marian Pippitt, and Bonnie Towne. Again the caretakers were changed--this time with Superintendent C, W, Daniels, Principal Vada Glasser, Coach C. C, Zalonka, and M, D. Drake, For two years the tree grew, gaining three new branches, among which were Goldie Taylor, and Lonnie Hussing, but lost several, leaving it with only eight branches, The Tree of 1952 now twelve years old, found as its caretakers, Superintendent S, W. Madison, Principal Vada Glasser, who had been with it throughout the past four years, Coach W, T, Beasley and L, E. Lindstrom. The eight branches that still remain consisted of Janice Alton, Donnie Bohall, Bill Harl, Lonnie Hus sing, Anne McColley, Harry Mikkleson, Marian Pippitt, and Goldie Taylor, who were looking forward to graduation and a life of memories of the activities enjoyed in L.S.H.S.

As The Years Go By This is Station L.S,T.V, giving you news of the world and some of our famous people in it. On this beautiful May morning in 1962, we wish to dedicate this program to the class of 1952 on this, the tenth anniversary of their graduation, Harry Mikkleson, after graduating from high school, won a tour to New York, There his plans for his future life were rounded out and he is now outlining his presidential campaign for 1968. At 'the present time, he is in Washington helping the president settle the present coal strike, To quote the presidential prospect, lt's time the Republicans took over, Lets all support him in the 1968 election! Harry is very honored by the fact that his daughter, Carol, who was named for one of his old friends, is playing in the film The Sophisticated Lady. It is now being featured at the Rocket Theatre in New York and Harry hopes to have his work finished so that he can attend her first performance, Now for the war news. We bring to you today a personal interview with General Bohall, He has carried out his high school dreams and is now observing his tenth anniversary in the army. We are very honored to have him on our program and are happy to present to him the star he so justly deserves, Don has made great progress in climbing the ladder of success and has reached the highest rung by being promoted to a Five Star General. We hear he has met quite a few interesting nurses while he was recovering in the hospital from his leg injury, He says he likes the girls, but can't seem to find the one, Maybe he will come back to one of his high school romances! We'll have and from Donald later on the program. The local news brings to the scene three Seniors who have gone their separate, successful ways since graduating from high school in 1952. Goldie Taylor has made her home in Omaha since graduation. She started working as a waitress in a drug store and has since become a partner in the business, She has been very happy there and certainly very successful in the enterprise. As yet she has remained unattached. However, it looks as though her high school romance with the army friend might prove interesting and we wonder what the outcome will be, Bill Harl, following Horace Greeley's suggestion, Go West Young Man, Go West,' did just that and began working on a ranch. The latest reports are, that he owns his own ranch and has his wife, whom he has known for several years, for his business partner, I guess Bill left quite a few girls with broken hearts before he finally settled down, We would like to meet the Lucky Girl, Bill is proud of his famous horse Banner , about which there has been so much news. At the present time, Bill has entered his horse in the Kentucky Derby, We're all with you, Bill, and hope to see Banner in the winners' circle, h
