Homecoming On December 16, 1949, an eventful evening took place, as the Lytton Bulldog s met the Early cagers for the big homecoming game. The girls had a little tough luck and came out on the short end of the score which was 30-Z7 in favor of Early when the final whistle blew. The boys came through with another win by defeating Early 41-37. Both were very good games to watch. For the girls' game, Betty Mclvleekin and Donita Campbell were co-captains. They fixed up a cute little uniform for Mickey Blake who was their mascot for the night. The main feature of the evening was during the half of the boys' game when Dean Hass, the captain of the team, crowned Donita lTwistyl Kurskop, Homecom- ing Queen. Her attendants were Roselyn Schwartz, Janine Guess, Anne Rolfing and Claudia Ringgenberg. After the game there was a program which consisted of Walter Huster and Eldon Richards singing and doing actions to the I-lucklebuck , Darlene Meyer gave a reading. Then there was a chorus composed of Lorraine Hillmer, Marceyln Ditzel, Elizabeth Nielsen, Ellen Huster, and Carol Pals. All wore pastel colored formals which made a very pretty background while Richard Baskerville sang A Dreamer's Holiday . The Boys' Quartet sang a few selec- tions and the rest of the evening was spent in dancing. The event was well at- tended by the alumni. Parties During the year there have been several very nice parties. First was the party when the F.H.A. girls installed their officers. They had the installation ceremony first and then a dance afterwards. Next was the Christmas Caroling Party put on by the F.H.A. girls. The group of people went out and sang Christrnas carols at different hous- es in Lytton and then came back to the school- house for games and lunch. On January 7th, the F.F,A. boys held their annual Sweetheart Party in the gymnasium, Roselyn Schwartz, Ann Ditzel, Anne Rolhfing, Claudia Ringgenburg, and Darlene Meyer were the five candidates. Claudia received the beau- tiful white F.F.A. Sweetheart jacket. In February, the F.H.A, girls sponsored a semi-formal Valentine Party. The gymnasium was decorated very pretty.. There was a large crowd and they had good entertainment and lunch. The last big party of the year was spon- sored by the Junior class on April 19th, the night after the Junior-Senior Banquet. All the high schools around Lytton were invited to attend. There was a huge crowd. The Juniors used the banquet dec- orations which made the gymnasium very beautiful for the party. Everyone had lots of fun and met many new friends. Z7

Skip - Day On Monday, April 10th, we Seniors got up bright and early so we could leave for Omaha. When we finally were ready to leave, it was a little after 6:00 a.m. We took five cars which were driven by: Steve Wieland, Don Hutchinson, Gene Carter, Wilbert Siemering, and Don Nehman. We met at the School of the Deaf at 9:30 and all went through it together on a guided tour. We visited their primary classes, dining rooms, dormitories, work shops, gym., Home Ec. Room, and printing press which was all very interesting. It is remarkable what they can teach those little deaf children to do. Next, Steve told us we would go to Boys' Town to eat, as it was nearly noon. After eating we went through all of the buildings, and saw their work shops, new field house, dairy farms, and beautiful chapel. We also saw Father Flanagen's tomb as well as many other interesting things. Then we were free to do whatever we wanted until 6:30 p.m. Some went shop- ping and some went to the television studio and many other things. Because of the cold weather, we decided to start for home instead of visiting the Joselyn Memorial. ' We arrived home at various times but all were safe and we all had a wonderful day, Jr. Es' Sr. Banquet On the evening of April 18th, the Juniors entertained the Seniors at a banquet held in the gymnasium. The theme was Moonlight and Roses and the gym was decorated like a garden with an old-fashioned wishing well, a bubbling fountain, rose trellis, and flowers. The menu consisted of a cocktail, mashed potatoes and gravy, steak, peas, bis- cuits and butter, salad, relish, coffee, and whipped jello and cookies. The program: consisted of Dwight Nielsen as toastxnaster, Darlene Meyer gave the welcome, Dean Hass gave the response, the Boys' Quartet-Eldon Mayo, Dick Schultz, Alan Matthias, and Duane Bardole-sang a few selections, Mr. Wieland gave a short address, JoAnn Denise sang a selection, Janine Guess played a number on her accordion, and Richard Baskerville sang the song, Moonlight and Roses. The head waiter and waitress were Dale Lake and Barbara Kelley. The other waiters and waitresses were Walter Huster, Bob Kelly, Dale Schramm, Ann Linquist, Elizabeth Nielsen, and Francis Guill. The banquet was very beautiful. It will be long remembered by those who at- tended. May Breakfast On May 7, 1950, at 6:00 A.M., a group of sleepy-eyed people -- the Juniors, the Seniors, and the faculty -- gathered at the Sac City Shelter House for the annual May breakfast. Of course the Seniors went earlier because we were the cooksfff The breakfast consisted of scrambled eggs, fried ham, bread, butter, potato chips, rolls, orange juice, milk, and coffee. It was a very delicious breakfast, l'm sure, for everyone went home with that filled-up feeling. 26
