1947 Problems with Long Distance Telephone Service

Issues with phones in 1947 did not involve display resolution, apps, camera quality, etc. Lincoln Telephone & Telegraph was busy beefing up circuits between numerous towns to increase their capacity for long distance calls.

And remember, young folk, long distance calls, those out of town, were metered and you paid based on distance and time connected. A half hour call to an uncle in California might impact your monthly budget. Birthdays could be handled with a card and a three cent stamp. People cringed when told they had a long distance call. A high percentage of long distance calls involved death notices. 

LT&T posted this notice in newspapers in July 1947.

1938 CCSA Champs Class A - Players’ names: W. Wiley (Wayne), L. Lytle (Logan), G. Nuss (Gerald), T. Ackerman (Terry), B. Ebert (Bill), M. Schenk (Myron), P. Schneider (Perry), D. Burns (Donald).

This 1936 basketball trophy, apparently from the county tournament, has a team photo but the fellows are not identified. Let's guess this is a spring semester trophy and seniors are from the Class of 1938. All together now, pull out your Alumni Directories and get to work. (Crowdsourcing the photo caption here - have at it. You have three angles to work with.)
