The tother day, them seniors got aholt of me and they sez, "Rondo,"
they sez, "We want to dedicate the ROUNDUP to our parents because
we feel that they have been one of the most important parts of our lives.
We want to show them in just a little way how much we appreciate them,
so will you write us a dedication that will tell them that?"
Well, I sez to myself, I sez, "Rondo, I figure that them parents have
raised them buckeroos right nice so tha oney thing that would be proper
to say would have to be one of them things written by a poeteer. Since
you caint write no such thing, Rondo, I figure that you'l1 have to tell
em in a diffrunt way. I sure wisht ya could've gone ta school and had
one of them parents to raise ya cuz it sure ain't no fun ta go through
life unedurcated." Well sir the oney thing I could think of to write was
this:
"THE SENIORS OF THIS HERE SCHOOL WANT TO DEDICATE THIS
ANNUAL TO YOU PARENTS BECAUSE YA HAVE ROUNDED EM UP
SO NICE. I CAINT THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY EXCEPT
I'LL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT'I..L HAPPEN TA
YA IF'N YA DON'T ACCEPT THIS HERE DEDICATION."

FUTURSCOPIC TELEVISION PREDICTS SENIORS' FUTURES
It was a foggy night after the senior class play, and I couldn't even see the red paint
on my truck as I turned the corner to go home. Then it happened! Everything went wrong-
the steering wheel twisted out of my hand, the accelerator went down and down, and the
speedometer went up and up. When the truck pulled to a stop outside a farm house, I
staggered out and ran to the house. No one answered when I knocked, so I walked in the
open door. In the living room, I saw an odd-looking television set and when I walked over
to it, I found it was a new brand named Futurscopic TV. One of the buttons I punched
said, "Ten Years", and another said, "Class of '54". The picture came in clear, but
when l saw it focus on a superintendent's office, I was ready to jump out of my chair to
change the controls. Before I could move, I recognized the superintendent as Vollie
Sanders. He looked at least ten years older than he had when I had seen him just that
evening. He no longer had his butch haircut. II guessed that he wanted to look more
executive.l As my eye traveled to the other side of the screen, I realized that his secre-
tary was none other than Deanna Smith. I' ve never seen anyone take dictation--so fast-
She must have Iconfinued on page 61,

On the evenings of November 9 and lO,
the junior class presented "The inner Willy."
Danny Brady, pictured at the bottom of the
page, portrayed Inner Willy hilariously.
Phil Crabtree, as Willoughby, was coddled
too much by his three old maid aunts: Louise,
Hester, and Olga, who were played by Karla
Harris, Charlotte Downard, and Nancy Smith
respectively.
Stanley, played by Gerald Soper, became
a bit perturbed when he thought that Willy
was trying to steal his girl. Mike, portrayed
by Bruce Calbreath, was called on to act
as a mediator.
The aunts chose a quiet girl named
Marybelle, played by June Duckett, as the
ideal girl to go with their Willy to the Senior
Prom.
A set of twins, Trudy and Janet, played
by Charlotte Warner and Myrna Detrick,
heard that Willy didn't have a girl to go with
and volunteered to go with him.
When Carol, played by Pat Irish, accepted
Willy's invitation to the dance, all problems
were solved.

New Grade Building in
Second Year!
The new grade school
building shown on these
two pages is just com-
pleting its second year of
housing students from
kindergarten through fourth
grade.
The classrooms contain
light-blond desks, green
eyesaving blackboards, and
rubber tile floors. Wood-
working is also in blond
wood. The many windows
provide very good lighting.

The kindergarten provides the beginning of school for most
students. This year, Mrs. Nelson and her class took trips to
many different farms in the fall to study the animals there.
Becoming ready for reading was another of the activities of this
class. The first grade under Miss Vandehaar, started reading
and arithmetic. The first graders' formal instruction also started
this year. Mrs. Ostrem helped her second graders enjoy elementary
science fgeneral and socialj. They enjoyed all of their formal
instruction. Reading proved to be the main interest for third
graders. With Mrs. Manny's direction, they illustrated their
refrdinq lessens. lesrned poetry related to their

studies, and studied histories. They also had outside reading.
Health books and basic seven notebooks were made by the
fourth graders under Miss Davis' instruction. The fourth grade
started to play flutes in readiness for further musical training.
A new study was introduced into the fifth and sixth grade pro-
gram which is called social studies. It is a combination of
history and geography. Miss Gross, the fifth grade teacher, and
Miss Anderson, the sixth grade teacher, combined many of the
activities of the two classes this year. Both classes took a
field trip to Westminister church in Des Moines, went Christmas
caroling, and presented two programs for the Altoona P.T.A.

DIRECTED BY THREE CONDUCTERS THIS YEAR!
Marching Band opened the l953-54 band season adding color duringhalt-time at our home foot-
ball games. Leading the band were the drum majorettes pictured on the top of the next page.
They are: fleft to rightj Judy Cox, Charlotte Warner, Sharon Warner, Leona Michael, and Nancy
Smith.
Due to the illness of Mr. Versteeg just before our Christmas concert, it became necessary for
Mr. Kruetz to direct us. We were pleased that he was able to help in directing our band during
the time that Mr. Versteeg was unable to be there.
Mr. Versteea resigned at the end of the first semester on doctor's orders. Mr. Kever who is a
graduate oi East High and Drake University, took over the baton to direct us for the last half
of the year. New festival music provided us with a project for the last semester.

RECREATION ROOM CREATED BY STUDENT COUNCIL!
The Student Council is set up to aid the teacher in governing the students of the school.
This year the Student Council has been working on several ideas to improve the school.
Thanks to the co-operation of the teachers and other people they have started a recreation
room in the room where the old shop previously resided. A table tennis table built for the Student
Council by Mr. Sells and the shop classes is one of the main features of this room. Nets and
paddles were purchased by the school.
Mr. Carmody, the faculty advisor, helped very much in keeping the council searching for new
ideas to help students and teachers.
The president was Vollie Sanders: vice president was Gerald Soperp and the secretary was
Russell Speer. -

of many of the issues. Human
interest stories on personalities
around the school were colorful
and enjoyed to the fullest. The
birthday calendar proved to be
just the thinq for us "date for-
aetters." Editorials plus bits of
information about customs and
holidays were educational as well
as entertaininq. As always the
sports paae was one of the most

of aossip in "Dots and lots"
were really fun to read too. The

PAPERS' SALES SOARED!

were added to the paper and sales
zoomed.
HOMECOMING PROVIDES HIGHLIGHT OF SEASON!
Homecoming this year was ruled over by Carla Tuinstra.
Attending her were Mary Jane Harding, senior: Nancy Smith,
junior: Sue Decker, sophomore: and Betty Harrison, freshman.
Although the football boys were unsuccessful in their attempt
to furnish us with a homecoming victory, homecoming was very
colorful and enjoyed by most.
At half time ceremonies, Carla was crowned by the football
captain, Dick Scheel, and was given the traditional long-stemmed
roses and kiss. The queen rode in a pure white Cadillac con-
vertible and the attendants rode in Chevrolets. After the game,
ceremonies moved inside the gym.
The annual grand march formed, and the attendants were
escorted to the stage by Tom Cort, senior: George, Murrow,
junior: Raymond Wolver, sophomore: and Richard Den Otter,
freshman. Carla was again crowned and took her throne.
Homecoming ended with the dance at which Jack Godfroy's
orchestra provided music.

ALTOONA
Altoona had a poor football season this year.
The coaches started the season with a green
bunch of boys who for the most part had very
little experience. The team lost eight of its
first string players through graduation or transfer
at the beginning of this year. The prospects
for next year's team, however, are promising,
in view of the fact that several boys gained
much football "know how" this yearf
The eight graduating seniors are: Cort,
Scheel, Ohland, Clark, Hinrichs, Murrow,
Champion, and Sanders. Dick Scheel, senior
tackle was elected captain by the team at the
beginning of the year. Co-captain was appointed
each game by Coach Petersen.

The 1953-54 basketball season was not too
successful for the Ramblerettes this year. With
the exception of the Story City game, all games
were lost.
The team showed a lot of spirit and ability
but the whole team was lacking experience.
Except for a few, the whole team was new this
year. However, only two members of the team
are graduating this year-- Ruth Scheel and-
Shirley Brown, and next year the girls should
provide a most successful record.
The squad elected Ruth Scheel and Beverly
Yount as captains: Charlotte Warner as the
most' valuable player and Karen Perry as the
most improved player.

The Ramblers started the season very well,

their touch and could only manage to win one
of the last eight. This is one of the best
seasons the boys have been able to attain in
the last few years.
There are six seniors graduating this year.
They are: Tom Cort, Ralph Helm, Carroll Clark,
Tom Hamborg, Vollie Sanders and George Diebel.
Ralph Helm and Tom Cort were chosen Co-
Captains. Tom Cort was the leading scorer for
the season with l8O points and Jim Barker
was second with 145. The most valuable player
was Tom Cort.
There are good prospects for the next few
years.

Class Prophecy fcohtinued from page 241
been writing at least 250 words a minute. lust as I was beginning to enjoy myself watching
these two classmates, the picture blurred and when it again cleared, I found myself watching
a pro basketball game. Tom Cort was being introduced by the sports announcer as the coach
of the Salami Stuffers' League Team. He had quite an impressive record for his team--won
IO2, lost 2. Then something flashed on the screen and I was about blinded. When I recovered
I found that I was looking at the California sun, and who should I see under that sun and a
beach umbrella but Ruth Scheel. She was talking to her husband and she was telling him
how much she enjoyed her vacation away from teaching fourth grade. This crazy machine
must have been tuned in for teachers, because the scene shifted to a large high school in
Colorado where I saw Carla Tuinstra watching her typing students take a timed writing. She
seemed to be very happy, and I saw that she wasn't watching her students after all--she was
admiring a new wedding ring. Then the infernal machine changed again and there was Bonnie
Briggs. She was busy trying to get her little kindergarten pupils to come out of their play
house. She couldn't get in the tiny door and they wouldn't come out. She finally whispered
something to them and they very meekly filed out of the door. I was wondering what she said,
but before I found out, the scene changed again. This time there was a motion picture shown
of the new ten-lane highway 6 through Iowa. The object of the motion picture was to lead up
to the introduction of the engineer of this highway who was hailed as the greatest engineer
since Casey Jones. "When what to my wondering eyes should appear" but Carroll Clark.
He cut the red tape and a new airplane wrote "HOOHAY" in the air in less time than it
would take me to write it. Luckily the TV set showed me more' of this new plane. It was
called an XHLIOO. lt was a rocket-powered plane designed by our own John Champion. The
screen focused on John as he entered his inner office. His secretary who was Verneil Griffin,
told him that he had a private phone call to answer. After he went into his inner inner office
to take it, Verneil started telling about the new plane of "Champion Aircraft." Then the
picture went back again to the plane and I saw Virginia Ellsworth working on the engine. She
was making some fine repairs after the test flight. Mary Jane Harding stepped out of the XH4OO
in a beautiful uniform.

She said, "Being a stewardess on the XR
400 hardly gives you time to be in the
clouds." Outside the plant, I saw Marlene
Yarrington in a white Jaguar arguing with
a policeman. She told him she was just
waiting for her husband cmd that he
shouldn't give her a ticket for parking by
a fireplug. I don't know whether she got
out of it or not because just then the
