DEDICAT UN Miss Jean Downing I9l2-l938 IT is with a deeper feeling than usual that the Senior Class approaches the dedicaa tion of its Iuka. .lust short of mid-year, death took from us our beloved class sponf sor and friend, Miss .lean Downing. 'l'llCl'C- by our task of dedication was made both easy and difficult, for what can one say that will do justice to SllCll a fine teacher, friend, and pal? VVe, the Senior Class, have felt the loss of Miss Downing keenly, both in class projects and in general school activities. YVe have missed her cheerful smile, her encouragement, l1er leadership. Our high school days have been so much richer, so much happier because of her work among us. Long after other memo- ries of high school days have left us, the many memories of the short time Miss Downing was with us will live on. It is our sincere hope that we have made in this book an object Worthy of dedication to so fine a person, and tr11st that as a class, we may be true to l1er ideals. This book, therefore, we respectfully dedicate to the memory of Miss Jean Downing. I cannot say, and I will not say That she is dead-She is just away! With a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand, She has wandered into an unknown land And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be, since she lingers there.

HE Class of 1939 is the first class to be graduated from the new school building. During the last four years we have had many happy times together. VVe have learned many profitable things and have enjoyed working with each other and with thelfaculty. In September, 1935, our class began its high school ca- reer. The most exciting event of our freshman year was the party at which the sophomores entertained and initiat- ed us. Our class was represented at Science Day, Veishea, the Home Project Confelrence at Ames, and at the State Home Economics Convention at Iowa City. Mr. Hunger- ford was class sponsorg Neil Scott, class presidentg Kay Tenhoff, vicepresidentg and .Ioan Booth, secretary and Dwarfs. Miss VVhitmore was again class sponsor, Clifford Porter, presidentg Meredith Hynek, vice presidentg and Janet Sweazey, Our senior secretary-treasurer. year was the year for us when the most important and exciting things happened. VVe were the last senior class to first to attend Club, Sextette- alyn Vobornik, district contest attend school in the old building and the school in the new. This year Tama's Glee including seniors, Janet Sweazey and Mad- and two soloists won superiors at the sub- in Vinton. Many seniors attended the Vo- treasurer. During the sophomore year, came the Lincoln Essays, Josephine Griswold winning first prize. That year we had our chance to entertain the freshmen gym. Many of our members helped Carnival. Miss VVhitmore was class presidentg Richard lVlcCaulley, vice at a party held in the at the Hubble-Bubble sponsorg Paul Pagel, presidentg and Mary Ellen Kupka, secretary-treasurer. The great event of 1938 was the Junior-Senior Dinner Dance. VVe sold candy and tickets to a movie and put on one-act plays to raise the money. The party was held in the gym, the theme being Snow VVhite and the Seven cational Conference at Marshalltown. The Iuka Staff with Helen VVilson as editor published the Iuka. The senior class play went into production the first part of April. Then the end of the year, with skip day,'l Commencement, Bac- calaureate, and Class Night. Miss Downing and later Miss Bond were senior class sponsorsg Richard Abbe, presidentg Ray Tenhoff, treasurerg Madalyn Vobornlk, secretary, Jack Spooner, vice president. Although this year was our happiest, it was also our saddest for it marked the passing of Miss Downing, our class sponsor and favorite teacher. During our four years in high school we gave our sup- port to athletics, music, scholarship, and school clubs. VVe feel that these have been profitable days. VVe hope that the classes that follow will appreciate and enjoy Tama High School as we have.
