FOREWORD
High school days are happy days, filled with memorable
experiences, laughter and good times. High school days are
full of hard work as we strive to develop ourselves, and try to
achieve what we want to be.
As we grow older, we'll forget some of the good times and
savor only the best. This, our yearbook, will then be our only
tangible record of the happy days of our youth, days that we
can never live again. The only way that we will then be able
to retrace these times, will be through this book. We've tried
to recapture some of the fun, the laughter, and the hard work
that went into our years at Alta High. This, then is our record.

Editors Sherrill Peterson and Martha Becker and
the staff advisor, Mr. Fuller, directed the 1959 Cy-
clone publication. Financial affairs were handled by
the business managers, Susan Norton and Keith Smit
with Dick Wilt and Jane Endreson as their assistants.
The staff members worked diligently throughout the
year capturing and recording memorable events.
This year the students canvassed the community
for annual sales. The community responded whole-
heartedly and the goal for the annual sales was reach-
ed. Dianne Schuler and Dennis Radke were crowned
King and Queen for selling the most annuals.
This year there are more pages and pictures than
in previous years. Another added attraction in this
year's annual is the tinted pictures. The annual pre-
sents a record of the year's activities and pictorial re-
view of the students and their school life.
VVe hope that each one of you will enjoy the 1959
Cyclone. Pictures were taken by Buntrock and Salie
Studio of Storm Lake. VVe wish to thank everyone
who had a part in making the annual a success. YEARBQQK ROYALTY

volleyball tournament. The Juniors won the series.
They won all four of the games they played. The bas-
ketball tournmaent was also won by the Juniors.
League bowling was one of two new activities started
this year. Teams were set up and competed against
each other for the title.
The trampoline team was the second addition. The
girls worked toward performing at basketball games
during next year's season. The senior girls again at-
tended the Girls' Basketball Tournament in Des
Moines. Extra outside activities included a dance and
playday. Aurelia, Storm Lake, and Cherokee were in-
vited to spend a day with us in fun.

though Dan had a fantastically capable mind, he was
troubled by many social problems.
Exactly opposite were the difficulties of Puff
lDave Friedrichl, the schools star athlete. Unless he
was able to raise his grades sufficiently, he would be
declared ineligible for the conference track meet.
Eventually the two boys found a way to help each
other out. Dan volunteered to tutor Puff if Puff's
friends would agree to assist him socially. The girls,
played by Karen Kraemer, Karen Ankerson, and Con-
nie Lichtenberg, decided to go along with the plan.
Although this arrangement included hypnosis, dancing
lessons, I.Q. tests, a class pin and parsnips, everything
culminated successfully.

GUING PLACES TOUCH OF GRAY IN HAIR
SENIOR CLASS PLAY
On Friday evening, April 3, the senior class
under the direction of Mr. McKinnis, presented a
three act comedy, Going Places - all about the
Maxwell family spending their vacation 173 f?J
at home! Mrs. Maxwell, after seeing Aunt Mary
come home from her vacation completely exhaust-
ed, and remembering how beat the Maxwell fam-
ily was after last year's vacation, decides it would
be better if the whole family stays home this year.
Everything goes wrong, haywire and berserk. Mrs.
Maxwell's parents come, Mr. Maxwell's parents
come: his boss sends Mr. Hinckley over to sign a
contract. The Grandfathers quarrel. Wilbur and
Hercules ruin the business deal, and Mr. Maxwell
practically breaks his neck. Wilbur, Betty Lou,
Connie, the whole Maxwell family is nearly uncon-
scious by vacation's end.
Members of the cast included Marlin Cone and
Sandra Svendsen as Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell. The
Maxwell children, Wilbur, Betty Lou, and Connie
were Mike Morrow, Susan Mangold, and Emma
Jean Rasmussen respectively. Paul Turnquist and
Sherrill Peterson, Clara Rydstrom,

SOPHOMORE ACTIVITIES
Being a sophomore requires a lot of studying
plus a great amount of energy and enthusiasm.
Sophomores are required to take world his-
tory which involves the study of the history of man
from the beginning to the present time. Also re-
quired ore one semester each of English and Lit-
erature, which when properly understood, can be-
come very interesting. One of the most interesting
courses sophomores take is driver education where
they are taught to drive correctly by both actual
driving and class work.
Sophomores can also take algebra, there they
learn to think in terms of literol as well as numeri-
cal values. ln biology, sophomores study plant and
animal life ln home economics and agriculture
they learn to be better homemakers and farmers.
Since the classes have become so large the
biology, world history, English, and driver educa-
tion courses are divided into two classes
Besides studying, sophomores are active in
many extra-curricular activities Some of these
ore athletics ffootball, basketball, and trackl,
G R A, vocal 'ond instrumental music, F FA,,
F l-l A, drill team, pep club, newspaper staff, and
annual staff
Once a year the sophomores sponsor a party
for the freshmen This year it was a roller skating
party, which everyone enjoyed ln return, the
freshmen sponsored a party for the sophomores
The sophomores had a lot cf fun working on
their hcmeccming float, which had the theme

Q
FRESHMEN ACTIVITIES
The freshmen started their high school edu-
cation with four subjects. One of their subjects
was General Mathematics, this is the ground work
for algebra or other mathematical courses, Mr.
Arnold Hammond, the mathematical instructor,
taught them how to do basic equations, find areas,
and other helpful mathematics.
English is another of their required courses.
Mr. McKinnis teaches one half of the class and
Mrs. Norton the other half. They are instructed on
how to diagram sentences, write short stories, and
grammar. The second semester is occupied with
literature stories which proves very enjoyable,
General Science proves interesting for all the
scientific minds of the class. Mr. McCoy and Mr.
Beals share the teaching with each having one half
of the class to teach. This year they are learning
of electrical devices, the atom and its many parts,
also chemical formulas These are very interesting
because of the experiments that go with them ex-
plaining science further.
The freshmen girls all are taking a course in
Home Economics which is lots of fun. The year is
divided into parts by Miss Kundel, their teacher.
Some of the parts were sewing, cooking, baking
and other helpful things, ln the middle of the year
they had a party for the kindergarten with the
theme StoryIand.
The freshmen boys have their choice of agri-
culture or industrial arts. ln agriculture they learn
of the kinds of feeds, cattle, and other animals.
Mr. Polzien, the teacher, is a great help to their
understanding this. Mr. Beals teaches the indus-
trial arts class. ln this class the boys learn how to
make tables, follow plans, and make changes in
plans. These all are courses taken by the freshmen
class.
The freshmen do not lack activity. Every year
the sophomores give the freshmen a party. This
year it was a roller skating party, and in return
the freshmen gave the sophomores one. Also, this
year they had the fun of putting together their
first float. They found that they need planning
and working together to make a good float, As
individuals they could enter in mixed chorus, band,
school paper, annual, and many other activities,
The high spot in their social life was when
they were asked to help with the intermission pro-
gram for the Junior-Senior Banquet.

1958-59 FOOTBALL SEASON
The Fyelones. under the coaching of Mr. Flawson,
exhihited one of the finest seasons in many years.
Winning tne Sioux Valley Confert-nee Crown, was no
douht the biggest thrill for the entire foothall squad.
They put their heart into the game and realli enjoy:-d
playing. Although with a number of Casualties, the
boys retained their high spirits.
The only loss of the season was to Holstein
which was a non-conference game.
The Cyclones ended the season ranking fifth in

1958-1959 BASKETBALL SEASON
Our boys proved to have less potential in basket-
ball this year than they had in football and finished
with a 10-9 record, but don't let this record fool you.
They lost many close games and were Constantly
under a terrific height disadvantage. The boys aver-
aged under 5' 10 while many of their oponents
averaged over 6' O . To make up for their lack of
height they had to hustle and work hard. It was a rare
occasion when the Alta team was out-hustled.
Alta had a knack for getting fired-up for the
big games. The big one of the year was the Aurelia
game, Aurelia, averaging nearly 6'2 per man, was a
heavy favorite to trounce Alta, but the Cyclone hustle
and fire kept us going until we fought to a 50-49 vic-
tory. This was the situation throughout the year, the
boys were up and down all year.
XVe didn't have a really prolific scorer this season,
but we had more even scoring than we have had for
many years. Larry Litchtenberg. second team All-
Conference last year, was the scoring leader with 207
points and a 10.9 point per game average. Merle Lar-
son was close behind him with a total of 180 points
and a 9.4 point per game average. Norman Peterson,
Kent I-Iuseman, Gordon Radke, Keith Smit, and Paul
Turnquist were all close behind in the scoring column.
Despite our lack of height and low shooting percent-

JUNIOR HIGH ACTIVITIES
Junior High is the period of growing up and
the preparation for high school. It means longer
hours of study, more homework, and longer assign-
ments. Mr. Greene and Mrs. Waldo teach seven or
eight subjects each day.
The students have several enjoyable exper-
iences. The boys, coached by Mr. Hammond, par-
ticipate in competitive football and basketball
games with other schools. Four cheerleaders are
elected from the seventh and eighth grades. These
cheerleaders conduct pep meetings each afternoon
before a game. The girls enjoy sewing, cooking,
good grooming, baby-sitting, and family relations
from the home economics teacher, Miss Kundel.
Many of these activities may seem hard and
tiring to the students, but they will always remem-
ber them.

SAFETY PATROL
The safety patrol is composed of several jun-
ior high boys. They elect from among themselves a
captain and lieutenant to guide them and assign
them to the busses. The uppermost thought in their
mind when on duty is to prevent accidents. They do
this by preventing small children from running
and crossing the street between busses. Two more
boys are assigned to put up and take down the stop
sign and street blockades.
JUNIOR HIGH
CHEERLEADERS
JUNIOR BAND
The main goal of the Junior Band is to further
young students in their ability to play together as
a unit, and to explore and play compositions writ-
ten for the band. Here students are first taught to
listen to the other instruments and learn to blend
their sound with the others.
The Junior Band consists of sixth, seventh, and
eighth grade students. Before a student can enter
Junior Band, he must satisfactorily complete an
elementary method book and have played his in-
strument for at least one year. Some exceptions
are made to this rule, as in the case of older Junior
High students who have progressed more rapidly
than young beginners.
Each year usually in February, the Junior
Band presents their annual concert.

ities included vocal music, physical education, and
Junior band.
Extensive use of the dictionary was made in
Reading and Diagnostic Tests following the com-
pletion of each text.
Adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing
decimals and fractions, along with story problems
were included in units in arithmetic.
In English, the language arts-listening, speak-
ing, reading, and writing were correlated.

Geography, the first semester, was a study of
The Eastern Hemisphere. One of the highlights
of the year was viewing colored transparencies of
the countries we had studied, shown by Mrs. Gus-
tav Fossell of Holstein. Our mothers were invited
and refreshments were served,
History, the second semester, was an interest-
ing study of ancient civilizations, each contributing
much to the world. Murals were made to depict
various phases.
Sound, plants and animals, weather, and elec-
tricity were favorite subjects in science. Various
experiments were proven.
Card weaving, water color painting, block
printing, and designing were done in art class.

FIFTH GRADE ACTIVITIES
We take a look at the U. S., is a favorite motto
of the fifth graders this year. Our study included
the time from the formation of the thirteen colonies
to the present when our country is a world power.
In reading we read stories of the present day
and of days in history. These days are past but the
boys and girls of today can live in them through
their reading. We also live funny impossible days
in storyland - days that can be lived only in our
imagination.
The students learn many interesting things
about the world in which they live through reading
various science books, doing actual experiments,
and studying more carefully their surroundings.

September started a busy year for the new fourth graders.
We spent several weeks reviewing, then We started in on our
fourth rade work r 4
g .
In arithmetic, we learned to multiply by the numbers four
through nlne. We also learned to divide by them, We had a
lot of fun multiplying by two numbers.
Our annual trip to tne Planetarium ln Cherokee, was
taken after we studied the heavens, in science. We also studied 5, 'I
about plants, animals, air and wind, and magnets, We learned
magnets are fun as well as useful,
In social studies, this year, we found out how the New
World was discovered and how it was settled. We also en-
joyed studying about famous great Americang and some of
the larger cities in the United States.
While reading the unit 'Young Citizens Here and 'I'here, '
We made a travel bureau. We traveled all over the world.
We gave several plays, throughout the year. for the other ,
grades and our parents.
This Spring we gave 9, program for our Mothers. .
We ended the school year with a track meet and a plcnlc.

THIRD GRADE ACTIVITIES
To become a third grader is a big jump for any boy or
girl, In third grade each child begins to think and work by
himself. Hc becomes able to do his class work with very little
help from his teacher.
He re-learns his addition and subtraction facts. Other
phases are counting money, making measures, telling time,
carrying in addition and borrowing in subtraction. But the
hi-lite of his arithmetic this year ls to learn how to multi-
ply and divide through the three's.
Yes, they also are becoming good little readers. They go
through three basic books. THE STREETS AND ROADS
SERIES. Stories are dramatized for other grades.
Letter writing becomes a reality when they learn the five
parts of a friendly letter and how to address an envelope. A
visit to the Post Office makes this live ln their minds. Cor-
rect usage of words is also stressed.
During the year visits were made to the grocery store, the
library, and the creamery.
A real grocery store was made in the room. Each one
enjoyed being the storekeeper. 9'
Seeds were everywhere in the room when the third graders
made 5 seed collection. You could find almost any kind of a
seed by visiting the room,
Music, physical education and art were other classes en-
joyed during the year.

SECOND GRADE ACTIVITIES
The second graders have enjoyed an interest-
ing and profitable year. Reading and phonics have
helped them to develop their structural and pho-
netic analysis skills: improve their ability in in-
dependent reading.
Our new science books deal with the basic pat-
terns of the universe: namely, patterns as princi-
ples of space, time, change, interrelationships vari-
ety, adaptations and balance. -Correlated with this
subject we had excursions, studied various items,
such as cocoons, ants, wasps, bees, crickets, rocks,
leaves, etc.
Numbers, social studies, health, spelling, lan-
guage, penmanship, music and physical education
help to round out the second grade curriculum.
The highlight of the year was our train ride
to Cherokee, and a trip through the Planetarium.

FIRST GRADE ACTIVITIES
A thrilling day was had when the first graders
began their pre-primers. During the year the boys
and girls learned many words. They enjoyed read-
ing about the experiences of Dick, Jane, and Sally.
In number work the first grade developed
readiness for the general use of numbers and the
number system, basic number facts, measuring and ,,-A
use of monev. 5,
The first step in writing was learning the cor-
rect way to make each letter. The second step was ,
forming words and sentences and the last step was -9 i Dick
writing stories.
We enjoyed our science book Look and
Learn. The units we had were animals, machines,
seasons, months and plants.

FIFTH AND SIXTH
GRADE ACTIVITIES
In both fifth and sixth grade
reading classes, they are trying to
increase their vocabulary by look-
up new words for each story,
writing the meaning of each
word and using them in a sen-
tence.
In fifth grade arithmetic, we
are going to be doing long divi-
sion problems, multiplying three-
place numbers, adding and sub-
tracting decimals and also frac-
tions, finding perimeters and
areas of squares,
In sixth grade arithmetic, we
are going to learn to add, sub-
tract, multiply and divide frac-
tions and also decimals, study the
units of measure, and find the un-
known number by adding, sub-
tracting, multiplying and divid-
ing.
For extra work in language,
each student is to read four li-
brary books and make a written
report and an oral report on each.
Other subjects that we have
are: spelling, science, health, so-
cial studies, and also we have
music, physical education and art.

The third and fourth
shall endeavor to build a good
foundation for all mathematics
by learning all the combinations
of the four fundamental process-
es, so that they may be done
within a limited number of min-
utes. This will be done by indi-
vidual study and time tests on
each process at intervals through-
out the year. Charts will be kept
to show each child's progress in
speed and accuracy.
These pupils will be encour-
aged to read several library
books during 'tspare time and
each shall report upon at least
two to the class.
Much stress will be placed up-
on the improvement of both oral
and silent reading in these grades.
It is very important that they
grades
have become good readers before
attacking the more difficult
work-type reading, such as is
found in social studies.
It is hoped that these pupils
shall all learn to budget their
time and plan ahead in the
preparation of their lessons. This
also will be much help to them as
they advance to higher grades.
FIRST AND SECOND
GRADE ACTIVITIES
1958-1959 should be a success-
ul year with our eight first grad-
ers and seven second graders.
Interesting reading experiences
will be offered through the use of
basic readers, charts, signs, and
supplementary readers. We hope
each child will enjoy reading, and
have the desire to read independ-
ently after knowledge of the ba-
sic vocabulary for his grade.
With a foundation of phonics
and language, this should all be
possible.
Number work in first grade
will consist of counting, repro-
ducing, and identifying objects
to 10, recognition of groups to
sixg relation between add and
subtract plus number vocabulary.
In second grade we will go into
the teens with stories for addition
and subtraction, measures, coins,
time, and counting by 2's, 3's, 5's
and l0's.
With second grade spelling,
plus health, science, creative ac-
tivities, music and games we
should have a full year.

MUSIC ACTIVITIES
Offering music every day to
all grades enables us to receive
most of the basic experiences of
music in one .week's time. We do
this by devoting one period a
week to theory, one to listening
lessons of Record Day, another
to singing, one to rhythm and one
to musical games.
Because one phase of music
cannot rightfully be separated
from another, the five periods
can be correlated by studying a
song in four or five steps when-
ever possible:
Theory: the key signature of
the song plus the syllables.
Rhythm: how each measure
can be divided differently be-
tween the number of beats.
Singing: first on syllables, then
on hum, and finally on words.
Listening: hearing other sing-
ers do the song, either by quar-
tets from the class or be record-
ing of the song when the record
is available.
Musical Games: to give theory
an immediate purpose for learn-
ing all the key signatures, lines
and spaces, and so on. Each stu-
dent has the responsibility to his
own team to study and learn, or
his team will lose in the tourna-
ment.
Eventually students realize
that the ultimate purpose is to
facilitate music reading for their
own enjoyment as well as for
performing.
By having music every day we
can vary the program to include
piano classes, for which we will
use cardboard keyboards plus ac-
tual piano keyboardsg program
day in each class to encourage
performingg Play Teacher Day
so that individual pupils may
teach a song to the rest of the
classg and perhaps Flutophone
classes to determine interest and
ability toward instrumental mu-
sic.
