The theme of our 1956 Aureole . . .What is time? . . . How does it affect us? . , . How do we utilize it? . . . elusive . , . impossible to regain . . . the most priceless possession we have. Great men realized its value, We of the yearbook staff have taken some of their thoughts on time and have tried to apply them here to the various phases of student life. We hope you will enjoy your yearbook and that it will preserve many happy memories of your stay at Detroit Lutheran High. What is time? The shadow on the dial, the striking of the clock, the running of the sand, day and night, summer and winter, months, years, centuries -- these are but the arbitrary and outward signs - the measure of time, not time itself. Time is the life of the soul. Long- fellow. Time, the oracle of hope, but the grave of ambition, is the stern corrector of fools, but the salutary counsellor of the wise, bringing all they dread to the one, and all they desire to the other, it warns us with a voice that even the sagest discredit too long, and the silliest believe too late. Wisdom walks before it, opportunity with it, and repentance behind it, he that has made it his friend will have little to fear from his enemies, but he that has made it his enemy will have little to hope from his friends, - Much may be done in those little shreds and patches of time, which every day produces, and which most men throw away, but which nevertheless will make at the end of it no small deduction from the life of man.

Roger Aumann President Robert Dungy Vice-President Margaret Baden Secretary As we, the Seniors of the Class of 1956, find ourselves about to leave Luth- eran High, this time not for a summer only, but for good, many thoughts pass through our minds . , . of college, jobs, the future, and most of all, of the happy days spent within these walls. We are 'the first class to both begin and end our four years here at 5040 Joy Road. We began our stay at D.L.H.S. with a chapel service in the auditorium. From then on there followed countless hours of fun, learning and working. ln our Fresh- man year we got acquainted with other students through the Freshman - Sopho- more Mixer . . . and autumn saw us operating our Fishpond at the Fall Fun Fes- tival. Our second year at Lutheran High found us coming into our own as far as activities go. We sponsored a hayride, and our assembly, based on the twelve months of the year with an appropriate act for each month, was presented and deemed a success. As Juniors, we presented the play, The Little Dog Laughed, rated outstand- ing by all who attended. In the winter months the class got together to go tobog- gaing. This time we chose Outer Space as our assembly theme and created an effective background to add to the atmosphere. Our fourth and last year seemed to slip by the fastest with graduation pre- parations, class trip, pictures and announcements, and all the last-minute details to take care of. We presented another successful play, Mr. Peepers, and an out- standing assembly, having a Western theme, with all the scenery, costumes, acts and regalia to go with it. But most important of all of the things that we have learned through these years, is that we have come to know Christ better. Many of the things we have learned here at Lutheran High will be carried with us throughout life. We truly feel that we have here built a firm foundation for the future. 14 Class Officers and History Mr. Earle Beck Advisor Geraldine Jankowskv Treasurer MARY KAY ADAM Kay . . .

The Junior play, The Little Dog Laughed, was one ofthe great- est comedy plays that Detroit Lutheran High has seen yet. Again this year the Senior play, Mr. Peepers, was greatly enjoyed by a capacity audience. Under the skillful direction ot Mr. W. Graf together with the fine co-operation of the students and the cast, the class of '56 has set an enviable record of fine per- tormances. -eve r! G.

Their many jobs in- clude keeping order throughout school, handling chapel collections, running the student lounge -- in short, they take care of all the activities which involve the students. A roller skating party in November, held at the Arcadia Arena, the Freshman-Sophomore Mixer, and the picnic at the close ot school were all activities of the Council. They also arranged for several interesting pro- fessional assemblies through the year, Everyone will remember the two actors from the Theater of Poe and Frederick Siobiarn, the pianist. The above gives you a general idea of what the Student Council does and why it exists. SlUCl6t li COUl lCll BOEll'Cl-Sealed: Mr. W.

Leoparclettes The pep club of the school, the Leopardettes, has done much to promote good sportsmanship at the games. They worked together on pep ses- sions and had the annual Mr. Football and Mr. Basketball parties, Two other outings, a pre-game warm-up in the fall and a Weiner roast in May were also enioyed by all. Most of the girls at Lutheran are Leopardettes and, therefore, the club has the distinction of being the largest club in the school.

After much practice under Mr, N. Spliftgerber and Miss E. Siller, and after a bit of sewing, the girls were ready for their first appearance. The occasion was the big basketball game between the Lutheran High Schools of Cleveland and Detroit. Soon after this performance, they marched at the Wayne - Valpo game. The group put on a good show, Everyone is looking forward to seeing more of the Luther- an Hi-Steppers. Maiorettes The Maiorettes are a relatively new club. lt was organized in time for basketball season last year. The Maiorettes are spon- sored by the Lutheran High Steppers. The main purpose of The club is to fur- nish entertainment at halt-time for all home games at Lutheran and also to twirl tor some of the pep sessions.

The annual Christmas Concerts were successfully held at Bethany and Covenant Churches. For the second time, the Choir participated in the Musical Festival which includes the high schools of Garden City, Romulus, Roosevelt, and Inkster. The Festival helps to build closer relations among schools. On their tour this year, the Choir visited several cities in Michigan including Alpena and Rogers City. The tour proved to be fun as well as an inspiring experience for all. ln addition to this, the group made three television appearances - on CKLW in the fall, on the educational Channel 56 at Christ- mas time, and on WXYZ for a Good Friday service. Frequently, the Choir also sang for Chapel Services at school. All in all, it was a very successful year, lst Row: C. Orlow, A. Minth, N. Gilson, J. Spavin, L. Schlack, J. Goehmann, N. Sielotf, S.

The accompaniment of the organ in the singing of hymns goes a long way toward building a more church-like atmosphere. Deaconess Club The Deaconess club was just formed this year. Under the advisor, Miss E. Siller, the girls were taught what the work of a deaconess is and what they have to do to become one.

They have even worked on the first act of Thornton Wilder's, Our Town. The public has seen some evidence of the Club through the skits pre- sented in the Fall Fun Festival Va- riety Show. Art Club lt is almost certain that passers- by will find at least one person in the Art Room during every period of the day. lt's not hard to guess vvhy either. The Art Room is well equipped with proper lighting, lots of working space, paints, brushes, pens, rulers - everything an artist needs. Most of the signs around school are products from this Art Room, made by Art Club members. It won't be surprising if someday a really fine artist emerges from the Art Club. Seated: Mr. W.

' ., J ., f x i Coach Dennis Tuomi At the close of the basketball season, another trophy adorned the D.L.H.S, trophy case. This one in the form of a Michigan High School Athletic Association District championship trophy. Although the squad had but a meager 3-5 league record and a TO-5 record for the sea- son, they improved steadily. Led by Tom Orton's twenty- one points, the Leopards upset the highly rated Madison team in the second round of the district tournament. The following night the Leopards won over the favored Centerline team to win the first basketball trophy. This win qualified Lutheran for the regional tournament where they once again drew a first round bye and in the second round defeated the powerful Servite. In the regional finals Lutheran met its greatest challenge. lt came in the form of St. Andrews, parochial and city champions, rated second only to state champions, River Rouge. The Lutheran Leopards, despite their lack of height, displayed great poise and succumbed to the victors in the last two minutes. This team has set a precedent that will place Lutheran as a team to be watched for years to come. , zu, 'I Q5 A if 38 FE-1 iv' -Q 43' 1 XX In QW , gif Jil' . ,VLA 2 . w Q 5 Q 'TE Vflrl Y h Y XXQ' aufiilf? ff k 1 ,,L, m,,..,,, any g 'f -was .

A list of the most memorable games of the season would include the following: the one point loss to Salesian in the first game of the Year, the win over Romulus, the first for a JV team in some time, and finally, the half-time leads which disappeared at the hands of the very good Garden City and Inkster teams. Although the win record was not tremendous, the team exhibited the same type of hustle, determination, and Christian conduct for which all LHS teams have been noted. 92 Cross Country Rowl R Wllkle G Preuss M.

In the Clarenceville Invitational, Lutheran High finished third, while in the regional they finished eighth.

In Jack McPherson we have the school's record holder in the broad lump and in the dash. Dave Brummer is the half mile record holder, and Tom Orton holds the 440 yard record. Also on the team are Marv Laurente and Gene Sommerfeld to give our mile event strength. Bob Semerau and Chuck Pearson round out the halt mile group with Dave Brummer to make.the 880 yard one of our best events. Steve Smallwood and Roger Thalacker give the 440 a lot of power which is also used in the relay events. A new-comer A this year is Gerry Ford who is giving the team points in the high iump ' mf - and dashes. The relay teams are also new record holders.

During the 'l955 season the Leo- pards garnered the first athletic trophy in the school's history by sharing the cham- pionship of the Metro-Suburban Confer- ence with lnkster Roosevelt. The overall record for the season was 8 wins and 3 losses. Included in the victory column was a non-league win over Melvindale, the eventual class B finalists in the invitational tournament at Battle Creek. The outlook for this year's team is good, depending on the discovery of some pitching talent, The 1956 schedule definitely is the toughest ever faced by a Leopard team. Along with the eight conference games, the Leopards non- league schedule will include six games with class A schools. Included are two games each with Redford Union and Austin, and single games with Cody and De La Salle.

The history of our high school movement in Detroit is a glorious one, studded with the achievements of people, groups and events that shine and glisten, that inspire and encourage us, that urge us forward and onward. There is an old saying, - Any institution will fare As the pioneers dare. Those were brave people back in 1943 and 1944. It took real courage to do and dare as they did. Their example, their labor, their sacrifices urge us to keep our eyes to the future as we resolve and venture to build two new Lutheran High Schools in Detroit. William F. Fenske Executive Director At this time we are assured that the present Development Fund Campaign is a definite real- ity. We pray daily that the two new schools may become a reality during the coming year. If God will continue to bless our efforts, and if our people will stand by our cause, we hope to break grounds this year. And, why shouldn't we? Detroit, the strongest Lutheran center in America, with more than 100 churches of our conference, with more than 24,000 Lutheran fam- ilies, with a membership of over 60,000, and an annual total church budget of n e a rl y S4,000,000.00 should hesitate to venture for the Lord's Kingdom? The Detroit Lutheran High School Association is stronger today than ever before in its history - 78 congregations now hold membership in the association. During this year a unity among our churches, our pastors, the men and women of our churches has been effected that is really heart- warming and encouraging. ln unity there is strength, with strength we can proceed. As we look to the future, we envision beautiful, new buildings with ample facilities, and property to care for the enrollment of all of our young people who wish to go to Lutheran High, we envision two school districts each supporting its own school, two student-bodies, two faculties, two divisions of all our auxiliary groups, two Lutheran activity centers for Detroit Lutheranism. The entire Detroit Lutheran High School Association, its Board of Trustees, our loyal and dedi- cated pastors and teachers who are waiting and praying for a reality on the East Side and on the West Side, herewith extend congratulations to the 1956 graduates. May our Heavenly Father, Who has so wisely guided you in the past years, stay and go with you as you plan and choose your place in the world. To the students who remain at 5040 Joy Road we give our determined pledge that as our eyes are to the future, our hearts and hands are to the new schools. gf A my 7 g , M 4 T DETROIT A DETROITLUTH X H'fH 5CllllClglllRAN HIGH gc ERAN 7 , X WEST- - HOQL X 1 4454, V EAS11 ? vvrpaw LBJ' if 'V i e R 5' Q 5 9 fV V i yggyg oi?
