'See you at 12 50 for Y Teenn was often
heard on Y Teen days since the new 7 period
day forced us to have our meetings from
12 50 to l 30 We were happy to have the 88
girls in high school Join the club this year
The Argus, a semi monthly school news
paper, was published for its twenty first
year under the sponsorship of Y Teen Every
other Thursday, at four, students could
seen rushing to their lockers for a look at
news, features and sports
This year we dispensed with our usual
sale of holly wreaths, selling mixed nuts
instead We used part of our profits for our
Y Teen Christmas formal,'Candy Cane Caper.
A tea for Mothers and installation of
new officers closed the year. Two members
of the group attended a Y Teen conference at
Pella Central College in June.

THIS YEAR IN PICTURES
Bill Scallon, Gary Mossman and Marvin Rlchtsmeler
were the three top hog judges from the Ackley chapter
at the Hardin County Spring Barrow Show held at Iowa
Falls.
A typical day of classroom work for the Sophomore
class. Here ls one place where the boys like to sit
close to each other--helps with the answers, you know.
Mr Mortensen, Ag teacher and FFA adviser, looks doubt
fully at heads to see if anything is soaking in
Hilbert Ubben is showing the trophy he won with
his Grand Champion Ten ear P A G corn sample which he
exhibited at the Regional Pfister Associated Growers
corn show held in the high school auditorium His was
best of over 50 samples
That's a shorthorn heifer with Marvin Saathoff
He will show Bessie at the Hardin County Fair this
fall They are sure to win for Marvin was named an
Iowa Farmer at the FFA Convention held in Waterloo in
April
The Dairy Cattle Judging Team that went to the
Waterloo Dairy Congress was made up of Kenneth Weber,
Larry wright, B111 Scallon and Jerry Bewerts They re
ceived a Silver award
Gordon Ploeger has shown his Aryshire dairy cow
It rather slows Gordon down to take a cow to the fair,
but 1t's one way of getting there
Another team of Judges Harvey Meyer,Marv1n Saat
hoff, Larry wright and Gordon Heetland They were the
Reserve Grand Champion Corn Judging Team at the P A G
show. They represented the Ackley Chapter atthe state
show held in Newton
Those are spotted Poland Chinas and that is Leon
French hiding behind them Hogs are popular as proj
ects for FFA boys, but they all aren't as pretty as
Leon's

Twice the Raiders were down and
twice they came up fighting and as
the final gun sounded the new score
board registered an.1mportant win for
the defending champions Traer
scored the first timeit had the ball
in each half but Benschoter and

Another scare was thrown at the

ACKLEY 19 LAPORTE CITY O
The blocks and tackles were hard, the holes were big,
and the Raiders were unbeatable as another conference team
was sent home defeated. LaPorte City used a large variety
of defenses in an attempt to stop the defending champions
but all was for naught as the Raiders simply ran and passed
through the Rams weak spots. This marked the third time in
3 row that Ackley had beaten LaPorte
by a 19-O score. Dale Kreimeyer led p
the line to its best performance in l
the first four games.

The tone was set on the first
play as Gordon Ploeger raced 76 yards
to the first touchdown. As it turned
out, the Raiders scored three touch-
downs on their first four offensive
plays and everyone on the squad put
in a lot of time on the college field
The varsity played only about one-
third of the game Duane Hosch high
lighted the offensive show with some
beautiful downfield blocking The
line slay of Ryken, Muller, Steding,
and Kreimeyer accounted for much of
the Raiders dominance over the Little
Tutors

Homecom1ng'!' The Raiders set some
kind of a record when they reeled off
two touchdowns in less t an two
minutes DeBerg ran 50 yards for the
first and Fedge passedto Wolf for the
second But that wasn't all! On the
fourth play of the game,another score
for the Raiders Everyone on the
squad had an opportunity to perform
before the homecoming crowd The Ack
ley Homecomers were jubilant indeed
when the third and fourth string
teams played on almost even terms with
the Jesup varsity This game was a very successful end
ing to a big day

A spread offense sent DeBerg 65 yards on the first play
and a pass to Wolf provided the second score as the tune-up
for the big one against Eldora amounted to nothing more than
a substitute fest. A goal-line stand in the last quarter
proved that the Ackley defense was ready. Ploeger did some
beautiful power running, accounting for two of the Baider's
T D's. Wolf scored the final touchdown on a pass from Fedge.

The stands were filled, the weather
was crisp, and Ackley had its best
night on Friday, October 28. when the
fireworks had subsided there wasn't
any joy in the hearts of the Eldora
rooters for the Raiders from Ackley
had swept everything the home club was
able to offer right off the field. It
was figured to be a close game. Both
teams were tied for the top of the
league with perfect 6-O marks It was
the championship game
DeBerg scored twice in the first
quarter, then Wolf in the second,
Ploeger in the third, and DeBerg again
in the fourth Fedge converted five
times But it wasn't the backfield
that broke this one open it was the
fury of the line play which constantly
forced Eldora into the hole or pro
duced a fumble or tore the line to
shreds The names of Krelmeyer, Hosch
Devries, Muller, Byken, Schafer, Sted
ing, Frerichs and Benschoter will long
be remembered when fans look back on
the Eldora game of 1955 Yes, if Ach
ley ever had a finer night, it would
be hard to remember when

Still gloating over the success of
the preceding Friday, the Raiders met
an aggressive team from Greene which
was primed to get revenge for the bl O
pasting received the year before Greene, champion of the
Corn Bowl Conference, got to the nine and the Raiders got to
the two yard line, but neither team had what it took to put
the ball over the line
