All who knew him knew him as a man who was relentless in his obiective, logical and incisive pursuit of truth, while never losing touch with Life. He was that rare personage who had weighed Life, and who hadkalso found an answer. To every- one he was on understanding, iocular man who spoke with clirectness and simplicity. It was said of him that he was a teacher who was so in earnest, natural and convincing that he could lecture standing on his head, if he wished, and never lose his students attentiveness to what he was saying. Mr. Palmer was one of us, and we knew upon reflection that it was because he represented a little of somethin we hoped we were. Our earnest hope is that this volume symboqizes such men and institutions as Mr. Richard Palmer, teacher. 7 Z 1 Z I 4 Z I 011 ' I f W I" Z 7 14 41 I I ef' I If Q ,ff 5, f lffl 3, 3 1' 'P Z f', Z W 5 4 4 ,' 19' I I 'I' IMI' W U' Nj 1' ff f ADMI l TRATIO SUPERINTENDENT O. B. LAING It is easy to forget, gathering the fruit in the fall, that the tree fhalt of which is undergroundl has grown through many winters and, with the cultivator, has labored long to provide those fruits. Thus it is with many of us, and to ponder these things on oc- casion, is to appreciate those fruits more keenly. ln our edu- cation it is the administrators and Board of Education that gather, interpret and integrate to provide this framework and nourish- ment, the solid network of roots necessary to life above ground. They cultivate and direct the education process. How quietly and efficiently does this tree function. How complex, detailed, and wide in scope are the problems they face. Our thanks to you, who are so instru-ele-mental in our edu- cation, and yet not oft-recognized.

E lllli The end of a period of years of prepara- tion has come to us, the class of l95l. As distinctly as this marks the first class to gradu- ate "over the hill" into the second half of the twentieth century is also marked the end of a sort of epoch. We have come from all the corners of life drawn together by incidents which mark the milestones. Though a trifle sad, this is not an unhappy time, yesterday is gone, tomorrow is herel We remember the sadness, the smiles-and more than occasional belly laughs.We rememberthe parties lslumber and otherwiselg "Tigg's", the rush for the buses, the cold nights we suffered at the football field, hauling cakes-to-coffee 10 Home-Room Officer 45 Class Officer 4: Voice of De- for the class treasury, the nights working on "Floats" or atplay practice, and the many field trips. We recall the colorful sides of school life: "Gus" at concert band practice, G .A.A. initiation days, Field Day, the times we got to strut our stuff -- Homecoming, the Relays, "the Tournament," and when the curtain went up you thought you'd forget, but you didn't. All these and many more--we won't forget. To our many guides we say a pitifully inadequate "Thank you," and close the doors for the last time, except the one door that counts, the one that has lust been opened "To All Who Wish To Learn." fr ,, V, N , 1 , I ,jsiwia , , In ,ff-cf wtf: '31, -it 1:12-'S-'fi - ,-ff' .s wf xr. 1 f 1 C r, ' it ,'-5 Y , 'Q' -' 4, , ,inf A fwyqgfr I , Eff: gem, so or is-fri L.2sX'if'35f1a JOHN ALBRIGHT "He who has not wisdom at the age of thirty will never have it" --andl have a dozen years head start.

That's be- cause we 're such a modest group that we hesitate to put our achievements on paper. fWhy make the Seniors feel frustratedlJTo begin with, cold, scientific tests placed the Sophomore class first place in intelligence, but we can't print that-- we never boast. Let's try a new tack. "Our class is intensely interested in school athletic programs ---------- " Voice of upperclassman breaks in, "Why wouldn't you be--with footballers Scanlan and Lompright and court experts Anderson, Hut- chinson, and Frazer and---. " We sigh and try again. "The Sophomore class enthusiastically supports all extra-curricular ac- tivities, and won the spirit cup ---- .

HIGH "Blow the whistle and clear the halls! Here we come!" Although upperclassmen wince and become wary whena Jr. High door bursts open and we come charging out, it's iust boiling over a bit! We find a lot of things to do with that pep, too. Under Coach DeMouth the Jr. High football team finished the season with aperfect record-- five wins and no defeats! A few of our gridmen are: "Shag" and "Shorty", fthe Cook brothersj, "Bull" Stevens, Bill Laurtizen, and Bill Fain-- our cagey quarterback. The basketball team, too, has an enviable record, and included Walker and Helmersfthe long and short of itl, and Christensen and Webb fthe size of itj, to name only a few. The grapplers have been gaining valuable ex- perience, with their eyes on future varsity berths on the Algona's topflight wrestling squad. Backing up the teams with those special Jr. High yells are cheerleaders Adel, Kay, "Cookie", and Karen. The girls are sportsminded, as well, and organized a Jr. High G.A.A. this year, too, with Cleone Crawford and Kay Hardgrove as of- 34 ficers. Remember the earsplitting drum cadences during fifth periods last fall? That was Jr. High Marching Band practicing, with Donna Powers as maiorette, Chuck Taylor leading the trombones, Joan Bergeson, Dave Bunting and Kay Brayton bolstering the woodwinds, Karen Kuchenreuther and Karen Downey representing the percussion section.

FO0TBALL Algona 's graduation-thin gladiators opened the l95O football season under the bright, watt-l oaded arcs at the Fairground Arena early in September. After early season maulings the green Guzowski men finally ripened enough to do a little mauling of their own before the season's end. Always interesting in victory or defeat, the boys never disappointed their followers. They played an exciting open game which brought heavy-blanketed crowds to theirfeet as the Bull- dogs gambled on the long thrust and the deft parry. At season's end the team met to electWendell Parkard and Dick Samp co-captains . To add to this honor the mild-mannered, hard-working Packard was voted a berth on the all-conference team . Algona 20 Algona 7 Algona 26 Algona O Algona 25 Algona 25 Algona l9 The T-formation style was further crimped when powerful running back Merle Moore was off to war. All in all the season might be hailed flt hailed while we played Hamptonl as a thumping success as the team mellowedintoa tough, clock- like unit which improved enough to scare saucy Humboldt, the conference champ. fThe score: Humboldt 26 Algona 25.1 But for l95l the picture looked even brighter. Inexperienced boys were moving into the veteran class . The si lk-smooth, gut-tough backfieldwould be back virtual ly intact, with rough young fthough inexperiencedl reinforcements moving up all down the line. Jim Scanlan, Jerry Beamish, Bill Lamp- right and others might well be the nifty-ones for fifty-one.

And at last the great day dawned--cold and windy . But the attitude of the revelers could hardly be termed cold. Althougha little "windy" the parade that wound through town was a mass of color and excitement. The game , in which an inspired Bulldog eleven was pitted agonist the Humboldt Wildcats, was a very close one. The Algona boys, with victory 40 almost in their grasp several times, finally went down to a one-point defeat before the undefeated Wildcats. At halftime the winning float lthe Senior's "Rocket to Victory"l was announced and the queen was presented. Pert, smiling Patty Olson received the crown, her attendants being Donna Nauman, Madonna McGuire, and Chloris Skogstrom. After the game, the Homecoming Dance was held in the gym. Larry Wolcott and Bettyanne Parkins sang some melodies in honor of the Queen, and as the last notes of the band died away, so ended another homecoming.

WRE So many records were broken and re-set by the Bulldog matmen this year it would be almost impossible to list allof theml In fact it can probably be said that this was the out- standing team thus far in A. H. S. wrestling history. Let's take a quick rundown: 11.J Algona's second place position in the state finals was the highest ever reached by a Bulldog wrestling team and 12. J was the highest any Algona athletic team has placed in state athletics since the football team of '25 was unofficially recognized as state champs. 13.3 The team finished undefeated for the first time in A. H, S. wrestling and was also the only team in the state to finish the season undefeated. 14.5 Paul Fisher became Algona's first re- peat championship winner and, incidentally, was the only last year's state winner to retain the crown. 15.1 Fisher and Montie Black share the laurels as the first two A. H. S. matmen to win state titles the same year, as well as being the only two title winners this year who come from the same school. 16. J Montie finished an undefeated season, marking the sec- ond time such a record has been reached at A. H.S. But, starting from the beginning, the conference title was won after racking up eight straight wins. A week later they tied Ft. Dodge in the last dual meet of the season. Then the district contest, which, judging by the fact that six state champs came from this district, is perhaps the toughest in Iowa. Ft. Dodge, who, ironically, failed to win one point in the state contest, won first place and Algona second. Then the state, where we garnered I4 points to finish second only to Waterloo, who had no titleists at alll Later, several boys traveled to Waterloo for the Y.M.C.A. tournament.

Algona's scant-clad cinder scorchers rolled to one of its most impressive seasons in recent years as they rackecl up a successful dual meet record and sent one individual to the state track outing . ltwas lean, stick-hopper Bill Bryant, a iunior, who soared 5 feet 9 inches to cop district honors and the trip to the state. This is the highest anyone has gone in the schools quarter century track history. The top performance by the squad was at the Pocahontas Relays where the boys won athumping first by massing a whopping 32 points. Coach Martin 's distance man was durable Dick Amunson who headed home the pack with his flashy "kick" in the grueling mile run. Dashmen Kennedy and Vaughn were constant contenders in the dashes and Vaughn also doubled in the high jump and hurdles, more than once leading in the timber toppers. Ron Dremmel and Chuck Holmes handled the the weights, while Ronnie Elbert, Ron Gerber and Dick Kain vied in the pole vault event. 47 J Q 2 155, .M Q. 4 ' X' N, 2, N , Q fx 1 an Q .,...-5. 1,3 4 gn' 0 Fr ,.-., - ,.Q., 1 N ihrlit I .-,. .L -f 4 Q.

This year's Bulldog nine was forced to turn back the mostmiserable spring in along time be- fore they could move on toa successful season as they whipped lO opponents and dropped only 2 games. The team 's success was high lighted by a bril- liant victory in the Conference Tournament as they brushed off pesky Clarion 5-4 in the finals. Algona's loss in the finals of the district was a shut out at the hands of Corwith, who later moved on to the State finals. The star studded mound crew this year included such stalwarts as Jack Lichter, Sophomore, Gene Hoenk, and ace-reliefer Duane Devine. Lichter tossed a brilliant nohitter at Eagle Grove in the Conference tourney to highlight the mound staff fine individual performances. Another bright spot was Duane Devine's superb relief start against Clarion in the finals of the same tournament. Work horse behind the bat wasDick Samp who played great ball the entire season. Around the infield we had Nick Reding at first, Frank Rusch at second, Bob Christensen at short and sophomore Bill Hutchinson at third. The outer garden patrol was composed of three fine throwing ball hawks, Wendell Packard, Jerry Beamish, and Bill Lampright. 49 BOY' CHAMP LEFT TO RIGHT: R. Brown, M. Haekbarth, I. Clapsaddle, T.

There was also a basketball day at Britt and Play 50 Day at Humboldtand lowaFallsfor the girls, too.

The L'Allegro Clubs affiliated with the American Federated Music Clubs of Iowa, consist of 25 outstanding girl vocalists who meet as often as cramped schedules will allow to blend their voices in almost any type of music. They're as at-home in a "heavy" by Bach as they are singing blues by Berlin, and they certainlymake pleasantlistening. tk I Bm ' .

OLIIISTS Vocal Director Harold Weber said one time, "Of all the bass-baritone soloists that I have taught, Larry is the most outstanding and the most promising for a real career in the vocal field." Indeed, with only two years of formal training, fast-developing Larry Wolcott has scored an im- posing array of musical triumphs, including the coveted Superior rating given by the Cavalcade of Music at the contest in Des Moines last year--a contest embracing several North Central states. The Local Bel Canto Club sponsored hisappearance at the State Fair, he has appeared on radio station WCCO and KWDM, and he sang at the North Cen- tral Conference musicfestival at Humboldt. He is also much in demand for performances at local progrqms , Perhaps his most widely listened-to per- formances were on WCC O, notabIyCedric Adam's famous Stairway to Stardom in which he reached the semi-finals. Some of his favorites are "Song of the Open Road," "Shadrock, " and "Invictus. " His repertorie includes songs in Spanish le .g . "One AIong"J and songs of german lieber Ce.g. "The Two Grenadiersnj. Larry is also President of the Mixed Chorus and a member of many vac-.. and instrumental music groups. Bettyanne Parkins is blonde, green-eyed and a coloratura soprano-which makes her as pleasant tollSfer1 to as to look at. As we all know, a coloratura is a very high soprano, and is liable to sing such songs as the Italian "Ol Bacio" by Ardit, "Alleluia" by Mozart, "Summertime" by Gershwin, and something in Spanish, such as "Estrellita. " Beautiful Bettyanne does all of these very well and finds time to be president of the L'AIIegro Club besides. She has been studying voice for three years and, proving the pudding, rated an Excellent in the Cavalcade of Music competition in Des Moines. She, like Larry W. and altoist Jackie Miller is a Senior. Jackie Miller is alto soloist and sang the solos "Beautiful Savior"and "O Bread of Life"with the mixed chorus this year. She has studied voice for only a year, but has brought more than one of us up with a start when she gives her inimitable Jo Stafford-style treatment to a sang. 65 259 2 V5 A Z iff , K 7 CC Q' 12 kj zf ' Q 56 egax XX f 4 U v N' . gf jf: 90 .J-M " This year Junior Class players produced a bubbling, warm hearted stage version of "Junior Miss," and when we say bubbling, that's precisely what we mean, for it expresses exactly the all- out,effervescent treatment keynoted by all-out, effervescent Joan Fain in the title rolel The story: Harry andGrace Gravesiplayed by Dick Becker and Joyce Brand, have fwO children, LoisiDianne Schaapl and JudyiJoan Fainl, who is i3 and has, besides confidante FuffylJane Hicks, and an amazing capacity for food, a burning desire to grow up to the glamorous age of her sister, who is I6.

E lllll CLASS PLAY The church parsonage at Laketon, Iowa circa l9l0 is the scene of events on "One Foot in Heaven." iRemernber the book?l Director McDowell 's characteristic pessimism notwithstanding, the play met with equally char- acteristic success. The audience liked its warm, earthy quality and rollicking humor, they liked Fred Langmack's unerring and convincing portrait ofa person having awhale of a good time plant- ing one foot in heaven and the other footfirmly on God's green earth, they liked Barbara Sloter's autocratic, fire-in-her-eye Mrs. Sanclow and Tub Thompson's mustached, small-voiced Georgie.

A very important part of this production was the technical, and difficult assignments were handled in their usual first-rate way by lighting men Warren Griggs and David Yeoman, Sound Effects man Richard tuttle, and Stage Manager Floyd Hutzell.

As a resttlt, lebate was discontinued, bitt Mr. McDowell picked up the loose 'orensic ends and witha different emphasis has coached the A. l-I. S. speech students through a successful season. Success in a speech activity can be no means be measured olely on the number of so-called "wins", but even on this score, his years record will compare well. This year Algona joined tlte owa High School Speech Association, ano hence affiliated with wo associations, already being a member of the Iowa Forensic ieague. Interpretative readers Dianne Schaap, and Joyce Brand, radio pea ker Larry Wolcott, and extemporaneotts speaker Edd Laing were 'orensic League state contestants at Iowa City. In the Iowa High School SpeechAss'n competition, Larry Wol- :ott and Dianne Schaap advanced in their divisions to the Pre- Jistrict round, Ioan Fain went on to tlte District with her original tration as did Edd Laing in "extemp". Laing advancedto the State 9 PEECH contest, emerging with a ist Division rating. Student Council can hardly be termed solev it deliberative body, for mitch of their activity occurs outside tncettngs, tug.: acting as guides or money takers when the occasion arise, spon- soring dances and the homecoming festivities, treating noon hour recreation program, etc, In December the council attended tlte annual North Central Conference meeting of Student Councils ofthe eight North tlicutrril Schools held at Humboldt. The Spirit Cup, awarded periodically on L1 systemtittt: point basis according to participation in extra-curricular activities and school achievement, was won by the Sophomores 5 IIIIICS out of the 4, tlte last winner not having been decided as we po to press.

G C A O A I Some of the things the Algona High Girls Athletic Association does to "stimulate interest in wholesome, leisure-sportsmanship" are: par- ticipation in basketball and volleyball intra- mural tournaments, the giving of picnics, dances and roller skating parties, sponsorship of the cheerleaders and the awarding of achievement points and letters to members. Achievement points are given on afixed basis in relation to the amount of time spent in participation in sports, such as hiking, tennis, swimming, etc., with certain limits and qualifications to make the system equitable. A prospective G.A.A. er must have amassed l00 points to be eligible for membership and when 500 points are reached gr red "letter" is awarded by the local club. At l000 points the state G.A.A. awards an a- chievement pin. New members undergo a most colorful and rigorous initiation period, and the weirdest rites and costumes may be observed in the halls during this time.

With the transfer of the Vocational Agriculture Depart- ment over to their room and workshops inthe new Annex this year, our "Ag boys" are finding even better opportunities for "Learning to do, Doing to Learn, Earning to Live-Living to Serve"-as their motto teaches. Officers are: Pres. Stanley Sorenson, Vice- Pres. John Albrightp Sec'y. Ed Ruhnlce, Treas. Jim Lindhorst, Reporter-Bob Kaing Sgt.-at-arms-Dick Sarchett. Last fall the Pres. and Vice-Pres. attended the National FFA Convention at Kansas City and were chapter delegates to the State Convention at Sioux City this spring. Also at Sioux City was Bill Hurn, placing 2nd in the state finals of the FFA Public Speaking Contest. He had previously competed inthe sub-districtand districtFFA con- tests and had won a Gold certificate in both competitions. Bearing up well in the Sub-District and District Contests were Dick Kain tExtemp. speakingj, and the Parliamentary Procedure team tDodds, Sorenson, Lindhorst, Kenned y and Strayerl. Dick Kain won Gold certificates both times and the team won one Gold certificate and one Silver certificate l2ndl . Richard Kueclcerwon a Silver certificate in the Sub-district contest for his recitation of the FFA Creed. In April the boys sponsored the Ralph Pierce Magic Show to raise money for the treasury. At present the chapter owns on oat huller and 2 sows with i3 springs pigs, so you can see that they have a good start toward the actualities of which farming consists.

Let us stroll down State Street and inquire around as to the occupations and activities of our former classmates. We seem to be passing a used-car lot--the sign says "Come in and see 'Slip-Me-A-Sawbuck' Sloter, the only woman used car dealer in Kossuth County." My she certainly seems to be doing a thriving business, look at all the cars-- Say, there's a sporty looking, hi-powered automobile, lwonder who--oh, I remember now! There was a picture of it in the Algona papers a while back--I guess it was built by John Albright and is supposed to be the only car in exis- tence that can be operated while the driver is asleepl Speaking of theAlgona papers, let's drop by on our way. This must be publication day--I can see Ronald Loesch through the window there, at the linotype machine. He looks very busyg maybe we'd better not disturb him. Here's a paper just off the press, though, let's catch up on the news while we're strolling along. My, it seems to be just full of news about people we know. Here's an item about the P. T.A. --"Pres, Dolores Jensen announces new program. "- -by theway we betterstop by the High School in a little while. . . Here's another item: "Laing finishes 58th book, breaks Zane Gray's record as well as Heinz's. . . however .... unpublished as are all the others". . . "Navy Nurse Patricia Olson is back on leave." Here's an advertisement for a muscle building salon "Only I4 minutes a day--the Platt, Dremmel Way!" Ah, the society page-- the Old Tymes Women's Club met Thursday, Sharon God- fredson was elected President and Mary Lou Klemm Vice President. Mrs. Kent Seeley, the former Alice Mathes, is going to sell her famous horse "Hadaco1." "Hadacol" won the Kentucky Derby, you will remember, and contributed a large part to their horse farm fortune. I see where the Kos- suth County Agronomy Assoc. met last week with chairman Don Strayer presiding and fabulously wealthy Paul Zumach givinga talk on "Five Ways to Clean Up." Here's an ad for the new ballroom outside of town--"Jim Lindhorst's Dance Palace" it'scalled. Here'sa confusing ad: "Come to the Packard Garage, formerly Sorenson's. " Oh, I guess Wendell Packard must havebought out his boss. Ah, the sports page. According to this item Bob Thompson and Dick Sarchet are retiring from professional football and going intobusiness manufacturing "The Little Dandy Antiseptic. " So much for the paper. Well, here's the Nepolitan Opera House" Managers Larry Wolcott and Bettyanne Parkins. " Here on the billboard are posters for "Koestler and Langmack" in their famous ven- triloquist act"--it doesn't say which is the dummy. What's this poster? A circusl "Coming next week--Bill Anken- bauer Shows, Featuring Trick Cyclist Bob Dodds, Bantam- Weight Broesder Ctakes all comersj and Montie Black and his wrestlingapes Qworld championsj. " This sign says "Drop out to the airport Sunday and see Stunt-Flyer Algene Hen- drickson perform breathtaking acrobatics. This 0113 SHYS. "Hear Evangelist Ed Bowman tonight here at the Opera House, 7:15. " Say those names sound vaguely familiar. Across the Street is the old Mainlinerg I can see Helen Gade, Marilyn Peterson and Katherine Fraser hovering over the cash register. Isn't that Vera Patton and Joanne Meyer carrying all those bundles? Look who's coming out of the grocery store, Iwish lknew their married names--used to be Ruth Fuerstenau, Joan Rechess, Beverly Robison and Dolores Lane. It seems to me Dolores Lane married an army man, but l'm not sure. The signs on the store fronts certainly recall a lot of old friends. "Hanselman, Pecoy, and Dillon--Cosmetologists Extraordinary". "Simons, Miller and Parsons Business Col- lege." "Earl Elmore's Pool Hall--come in and see world famous snooker expert Jim Lage." "Shumway, Kelley, Fristedt and Pitzenberger, Law- yers, " "Donna Nauman- -Advice to the Love1orn". . . . . Who's this labor organizer haranguing these workers on the corner- -why it's Gordon Brownl lt must be almost noon-- I see the high-schoolers coming out. There's Ag. Man Stan- ley Sorensen, girl's P. E. instructor Hagen and school nurse McVeigh going down to the Lunch room, l hear Marilyn Thompson and Pauline Bowman prepare excellent lunches. I just remembered--if we hurry back down town we should arrivejust in time for a meeting of one of the service clubs. I wonder whose this funeral is that's going by? Let's ask this lady over here- -why it's Gloria Steele,the librarian! She tells us that the funeral is for Al Lundh, who dropped a cigarette in the gas tank of a car while running gasoline in at his fillingstation. Gloria also informs us that Dave Vaughn is back on leave from Ft. Snelling where he is a lieutenant- colonel. Here we are just in time for dinner at the Rotary Club meeting. My, Algona has a number of prosperous business- men: Don Hiserodt, who now owns Richardson's Furniture Store, informs us as we eat dessert that Robert Christensen Cto your lefty is now north Iowa 's richest clothing magnate. George Pierce, at the head of the table, is manager of the Weidenhoff Plant and James Palmer, the noted architect, is Algona's newly elected Mayor. We inquire about Dick Samp and are told that he and Alton Rochleau are a few miles north of town panningfor gold in the Des Moines River. They tell us that yes, Lee Colburn is STILL around and that his still is north of town, too. fHe and Bill Clegg make the famous "C :Et C"--guaranteed I2 hours old and will cure anything.J No one sees Jerry Zittritsch very much, he lives alone in his studio with his canvas and paints. Some one informs us that they receiveda letter from Pat Bohn, who is in California getting his Hollywood Haircut trimmed and visiting the now famous Jim Kennedy, successor to Clark Gable. Well, the dinner's over. Glad to have seen you again. Stop by any time, Goodbyl O WEULD l'lT BE ICE Hi tloucrli ttnmwski would forget those calistl1enicslUST ONCE? John Albright could stay awake through class? Mr. Allcndcr would let us out of 6th period study hall when the hell rang? Dolores Lane could get to lst period Physics before ggI5? Miss Almcnwcrt-n't so conscientious about tests and assign- ments? Dolores Jensen would stay out of trouble for a week? Mr. De Mouth could ever find anything? Mr, Stephenson's Jokes weren't so corny? The Seniors had won at least something in intramurals? "Our" activity had more time to practice, too. REMEMBER WHE The Seniors adopted a class bird? The Seniors bought too much candy to sell at games and had to buy it themselves? The "fake" letter-to-the-editor of the Journalism Class newspaper caused such an uproar? Fred Langmack's overalls suddenly gave out? Lce Colburn carried astzrange looking black "handkerchief" with Saturday embroidered on it? Jon Rising panicked thejubilee Singers at the Concertf"I gat wings Qshoes?J fHarp?"J Gloria ...................... ? Mr. De Mouth's car was in one piece: Patty Olson literally "lost her head" at the F.F.A. boy 's magic show? Donny Cook was still in band? Mr. Guzowski called the roll and everyone wondered who Lud and Scrachet and Longmark were? This book is our product. We have worked long and hard on it and believe it is a good one. We hope you will think so, too. A lot of credit goes to Mr. De- Mouth and Mr. Stephenson, our faculty instructors, who have guidedand advised us in the tremendous ef- fort it has entailed.

Since there are some questions that are asked about our obiectives, curriculum, etc. , that are not answered elsewhere, we are including this extra section as a sort of supplement. O. B. LAING Superintendent l. Some general facts The Algona High School has an en- rollmentof 330 in senior highfgr. 9-122 and l4l iniunior high igr. 7-81. Our high school has been an approved member of the North Central Associa- tion every year since l906 -- an en- viable record in itself since this mem- bership requiresa high standard of all- around work -- curriculum, scholar- ship, personnel, equipment -- en- titling graduates to admission to al- most all colleges without examination. lt serves a dual purpose in offering training for later college admission for as high as 40470 of its graduates in some years and also training for general use- fulness in participation in community life for those who do not attend col lege . Our high school curriculum offers work that is both college preparatory and vocational, examples of the latter being our agricultural, homemaking, and commercial courses. Perhaps that is one of the reasons why our school has a comparatively low "drop-out" ratio in iunior-senior high. Standardized tests each year indicate a high a- chievement in the "fundamental" sub- iects such as English, Mathematics, Reading, etc, vm.- Our elemantary grades, Kg.-oth, numbering 590 pupils enrolled, offer the usual subjects found in practically all schools. One noteworthy aim we have kept in mind is that of a reason- able teacher-pupil ratio. Perhaps this accounts in great part fora consistent- ly high standing of scholarship as shown every year by standardized tests. Our faculty, grades and high school, now numbers 52 members, 32 of these with four years of college training or more--all with over two years of such work. Usually we have about 25fyo of our staff or more in summer school each summer. ln ad- dition many ore adding to their use- fulness as teachers by summertravel including Europe and Central America. 'sig 73480941 MW noT0l We have a total of 2,704graduates from our high school since the first class of 1885. One of our loyal alumni still actively supporting our activities and interested inthese 70 young people who graduate in June, l95l is Miss Lucia Wallace ofthe class of l885. ll. Our obiectives The high school faculty has for- mulated the following aims which are connected with our various courses and "extra-curricular" activities. They are the things we aspire for each of our students, s hortco m i ng s notwith- standing. A. Learn basic skills fsuch as mathematics, for example,l -- things that everyone must know for ordinary successful living. B. Meetvocationalneedslevery- thing a pupil studies in school has some connection herel-- recent adoption of vocational agriculture in our school, for example. C. Use leisure time properly lwe stress "individual" sports such as tennis in ourp. e. programl D. Citizenship -- students man- age many things "on their own", the student council functions many ways as man- aging social affairs, elec- tions, noon-hour recreation, etc. E. Health practices fwith em- phasis on the PRACTICE, such as first aid, taught with phy- sical education F. Home membership fa girl learns howto cook and sew, a boy how to repair home gadgets in the industrial arts shopj G . Character education lsome say intangible, yet what is re- quiring a lesson to be well done, or team-work in the class or on an athletic squad?l Some examples of NEW WAYS to these obiectives, above, most of them in addition to the tradi- tional approaches are listed here. No attempt is made to be complete for obvious lack of space. Starred items, ""' have an illustrative photograph in this section. 'k "B. 'C. k Automobile driver training - theory in class followed by work behind-the-wheel . Seniors participate in panel discussions with local business and professional men on nature of different vocations. Students in the school lunch program learn more about balanced diet, etiquette, etc. -- behind serving counter edu- cation continues. Agriculture class learns about the corn borer or hog-raising on a field trip--or industrial arts student learns to operate a lathe. E. F. G. Social dancing in the gymna- sium class. A hobby group in photography becomes useful for leisure time -- Senior students work hard on annual . A student council member escorts adults through the An- nex and stops to explain var- ious uses of the main dining room. Students in government class visit a session in court. Over one hundred voices ioir in a-capella numbers at the annual Christmas concert. Astudentpaints apicture that now hangs in Superintendent's office. 's M- 'Qui Learning of these obiectivee starts long before the student goes to high school -- the first grade takes field trip to the greenhouse -- or the kdg. brings a rabbit to the school- room. "L, And does notend with gradu- ation -- adults go to art or current world problems or home nursing class in night school. M. ln all, our high school offers 37 different courses for credit and I5 extra-curricular ac- tivities in the fields of speech, athletics, music, art, library, audio-visual education, etc . , that include practically all students in one or more of such endeavors. N . Standard tests are given at both the elementary and high schools levels to measure ac- complishment and p red i ct success in certain fields of work, both while in School and in vocations after school days are over. The story above continues, if space would permit, the many things that contribute to good living in this com- munity, for truly, as the inscription over our high school entrance says: "These doors are open to all who wish to learn." ... v 1.
