Verne M. Young
ENERALLY known for the cheery
salutation, "Good morning," with
which he daily greets sleepy students
over the sound system, is Principal
Verne M. Young, affectionately known
as the "King," Often associated With
unheralded visits to various classrooms,
problem pupils who make almost daily
visits to his office and signing requisi-
tions for everything from athletic
equipment to typing paper, he has, in
reality, many more important duties,
which include determining the adminis-
trative and educational policies of the
high school.

Leonard A.Steger
OUNDING out his second year as
superintendent of the Ames public
school system, Leonard A. Steger firmly
established a reputation as a leader in
progressive education and civic proj-
ects through his sponsorship of the new
adult education program, occupational
courses and outstanding public forums.
School Board
AINTAINIXG high educational
standards despite rising costs and
supply shortages is no easy job in any
school system. Tl1e Ames Public Schools
were no exception, for, despite the rela-
tively small number of pupils, the war
brought many problems to be solved by
the Board of Education.
However, guided by president XV. H.
Meeker, a veteran of thirty-one years'
service to the school system, the board
was able to perform its regular func-
tions and to carry out emergency pro-
grams. Hiram Munn, well-known busi-
nessman, was chosen treasurer of the
board. Jovial David Edwardsg Dr. TV.
G. lvlurray, college professor, friendly
N. J. "Sandy" Brintnallg and Dr. O.
L. Thorburn, young eye, ear, nose and
I
X
throat specialist, were the other mem-
bers. The secretary, Frank B. Howell,
was appointed by the board, but was
not a meniber.
The Board of Education appro-
priated all money for the maintenance
of school property, for the purchase of
necessary supplies a11d materials a11d
for the salaries of the teaching and ad-
ministrative staffs. The group held
regular monthly meetings, and special
meetings were called as they were
needed.
The four standing committees into
which the board was divided were
Buildings and Grounds, Finance, Sup-
plies and Purchasing, and Teachers.
Each member serves as chairman of one
and as a member of another.
Supt. L. A. Steger, Dr. O. L. Thorburn, Mr. David Edwards, Prof. W. H, Meeker, Mr. N. J. Brintnall, Dr. W. G.
Murray, Mr. Frank B. Howell.

Health Office
HE HEALTH Office's most out-
standing achievement of the year
was tl1e tuberculin testing program,
which was conducted on a voluntary
basis among high school students. Al--
though awaited with fear and trem-
bling, the "needle-sticking" proved to
be a relatively painless process, and no
students found their wounds to be mor-
tal.
Those showing positive reactions were
given low-cost chest X-rays to deter-
mine the presence and progress of the
disease. The purpose of the program
was to detect early symptoms of tuber-
culosis and thus safeguard both unsus-
pecting victims and classmates.
Dr. W. B. Armstrong, giving time
from his private practice to be the school
physician, and Mrs. Sadie Dempsey
supervised the unusually outstanding
program of making the young people of
Ames as physically lit as possible. Mrs.
Dempsey replaced Miss Henrietta Gron-
lid, who left January 1 after thirteen
years of service as Ames public school
nurse to fly over thirteen states as as-
sistant in the mid-area office of the
American Red Cross.
Following a precedent set in previous
years, more than 2,200 young people in
the first eight grades were given a
physical checkup, while all twelve
grades took time out from regular
schoolwork to have their molars in-
spected.
A constant bugbear to students was
the invariably forgotten rule requiring
all those who were absent because of ill-
ness for more than three successive days
to receive permission from Dr. Arm-
strong or Mrs. Dempsey in order to re-
turn to school.
To aid those who could not otherwise
aiord needed medica.l attention, the
health oiice purchased glasses and paid
for tonsil and dental work out of one of
its special funds.

still looks skeptical, Mrs.
Dempsey writes out the ex-
cuse necessary to get Marilyn
back into class.
ENTRAL cog in bustling Ames
High is the office, reception room
for Mr. Young's inner sanctum and
clearing house for everything from lost
articles and teachers' mail to report
cards.
Pleasant ruler of this domain, who
doubles as Mr. Youngls secretary, is
Mrs, Trimble, more generally known as
Rowena, whose duties include giving
official approval to all passes, approv-
ing, or disapproving, of all excuses for
absence or tardies and supervising the
office training of advanced commercial
students.

times yielded such diverse items as gro-
cery lists and love notes. Other respon-
sibilities include delivering passes and
memoranda to tl1e teachers, taking tele-
phone calls and distributing the numer-
ous seventh period slips.
Other commercial students spent
tense hours taking dictation from Mr.

Schmidt in the junior high office or cut-
ting programs and running off stencils
in the commercial oiice.

ITH national defense duties head-
ing an already imposing list of
projects, the Student Council undertook
an ambitious program of accomplish-
ments for the year.
Ames High's student governing body
sponsored the Victory Book Campaign,
which netted 1,500 books for the armed
forces, the sale of Defense Savings
Stamps in the school and high pressure
salesnianship for the Red Cross benefit
basketball game with Mason City.
The council was divided into six
standing committees for the more effi-
cient handling of business. In addition
to the council inembers, each class had
one representative on every committee.
Duties of the committees included plan-A
ning the midyear and matinee dances
sixteen
and the open house, determining the eli-
gibility of students to receive awards,
arranging for assemblies, publicizing
school events and supervising the lost
and found.
Acting as host for the annual State
Leadership Conference held in April at
Iowa State College, the council sent out
invitations and arranged for visitors?
housing acconnnodations, entertain-
111G1lJE and meals.
First semester officers were Earl
Feldman, Floyd Bender, Rosemary
Taylor, and Jerry Galligan. The sec-
ond semester group chose Bruce Wie1'-
son, Ed Carty, Harriet Breckenridge,
and Jean McClelland.
Pulling the strings for this student
legislature was adviser Miss Eva YVhitc.
Student Treasurers
URING tl1e past nine months, over
313,000, tl1e largest amount of
money taken in during any one year,
flowed safely in and out of Ames High 's
-coffers, thanks to tl1e efforts of the stu-
dent treasurers.
YVhen an emaciated, harried-looking
individual was seen tottering through
the halls, chances were good that it was
a student treasurer making the rounds
of those who must sign his requisition.
Not only did the rules require his own
insigniiicant name on the dotted line,
but to conform with Ames High 's elab-
orate system of checks and double
checks he also had to secure those of his
sponsor and Mr. Young. This accom-
plished, general treasurer Miss Mary
McNally made out a check for the
amount specified on the requisition,
after which the recipient was required
to initial it, one copy being kept by the
student treasurer and the other by
Miss McNally.
The student treasurer, somewhat
wearied by the performance of this
gigantic feat, very often mistook a 3 for
an 8. But, since the duplicate books
kept by the student treasurer and the
general treasurer were checked once a
month, the few errors made were readi-
ly corrected.
Those activities which had no visible
means of support were helped by or-
ganizations showing a profit for the
previous year.

Fire Squad
Y DOING practically everything
except pushing students out of thc
windows or throwing them down the
sta.irs, the Fire Squad came within one-
tenth of a second of its goal of sixty sec-
onds for ai fire drill, thus establishing a
new all time record.
These hall monitors, whose duties in
tl1e school roughly parallel those of
traffic cops in a city, devoted most of
their time during the year to eliminat-
ing confusion in the halls.
In line with the effort to prepare for
the possibility of air raids, this group
took on added responsibility of making
arrangements for just this kind of an
eventuality.
Even during the first dark, sleep-in-
viting mornings of VVar Time, these
boys, who Wear small orange badges to
identify them, were at their posts more
or less promptly at 8:15 and again at
12 :45 each day. Two members were on
duty at the northeast and southwest
doors at 8 and again at 12 :30. Because
such hall patrolling definitely cramped
the style of students the comparative se-
clusion of the west hall was popular
with many.
Each Friday noon the twenty-one
Fire Squad members 1net with their
sponsor, Miss Lelah Spatz, and their
chief, Leland Dudley, to discuss thorny
problems that were always arising, and
to get the new assigmnent of posts for
the next week. Thor Ronningen served
the group as assistant chief during the
Vear.

Senior Class
AY back in September, 1939, the
doors of Ames High swung open
to admit the new building's first group
of noisy, inipertinent sophomores. Lit-
tle noticed by upper classmen, but vast-
ly important to the newcomers, were
such landmarks as Browne Otopalik's
orange and black victory shoes, the un-
beaten sophomore basketball team, and
Ray Byrnes, "varsity man" and class
hero. The loss of Peggy Skerry and
Mary Lou YVright was balanced by the
addition of such now indispensable class
members as Phil Armstrong, Bonnie
Clausen, Dick Fye, Ginger Halstead
and Pat Hovde.
Juniors now, and beginning to take a
more prominent part in school activi-
ties, the group carried on its organized
work under the direction of the Junior
Executive Council, composed of Presi-
dent John Rice, Vice-president Jack
Pinney, Secretary Frances Kerekes,
Treasurer Herb Gilkey, and Ray Byrnes
and Dean Dixon. Tl1e council's year
was cliniaxed May 1 by the customary
prom held in honor of the seniors at the
Memorial Union. The funds so neces-
sary to the success of any social event
came .from the highly profitable junior
class play, 4'The Late Christopher
Bean." Lila Mae Hummel was the
heroine of the l1our when she mastered
the leading role in three days and gave

a flawless performance on opening
11ight.
Other juniors held the spotlight for
a time. Ruth Midgorden won the local
Americanism essay contest, and Mary
Elizabeth Lush got honorable mention
in the national contest. Frances Friley
showed her domestic prowess when she
journeyed to Chicago to bake cherry
pies in another national competition.
Then came the biggest year of allg
they were seniors A-1. Being the "big-
sl1ots" gave tl1e1n dignity at last. This
time they were snapped into line by Phil
Armstrong, president, Lloyd Kester,
vice presidentg Ray Byrnes, secretaryg
and lVilma Geiger, treasurer.
Already there were those whose fame
had spread beyond the confines of the
school. Debaters Bob Dilts, lVilma Gei-
ger, David Lush and Lois Stewart re-
turned. from the finals of the state tour-
nament with a new title for a school al-
ready familiar with champion teams in
other fields. Replacing rationed sugar
with honey, Mary Elizabeth Lush
1'eigned as national "Cherry Pie
Queen" and labored for weeks to keep
up with the resulting deluge of fan mail.
For the first time tl1e Little Cyclone
football team having played all confer-
ence opponents finished the season unde-
feated and in possession of another title.
Again a conference title fell to the con-
quering basketball squad. The cagers
were prevented from annexing the su-
preme honor when Nevada. defeated
them in the sub-state tournament and
kept them from the finals.
The national emergency found Ames
High sponsoring the sale of defense
stamps and bonds. Each Thursday
morning pennies were collected from
generous students for the purchase of
a. bond. Five hundred dollars was do-
nated to the Red Cross ambulance fund
from the sale of tickets to the benefit
basketball game with Mason City.
Defense work claimed two of the most
important members of the facility when
Miss Lunsford, Pep Club sponsor a.nd
P. E. instructor, was called to duty in
Abilene, Texas, a11d Miss Gronlid,
watchful school nurse, joined the Red
Cross staff in St. Louis.
One of the highlights of every senior 's
career was "unlaXing" to the music of
the rejuvenated Ames High Swingsters
Cnow the Rhythm Clubl at the regular
matinee dances. The orchestra. has
grown to include nine members, six of
them seniors. For the mid-year dance
the Basket Ball, a king and queen were
chosen in an exciting all-school election.
The regal throne was shared by Ray
Byrnes and Dona Sauvaing Bob Allen
furnished the music.
As spring approached, the future
loomed larger on the horizon and ca-
reers became an important topic of dis-
cussion. Speeches by well-known voca-
tional authorities fea.tured the week set
aside for seniors to survey the problem
of choosing a life work. Most helpful
was the practical experience gained
during spring vacation when many
seniors worked without pay at local
business houses to get a foretaste of
those occupations which seemed inter-
esting to them.
And so at last one day in J une, with
a lingering backward glance at halls and
classrooms which could never quite lose
the imprint of 175 boisterous personali-
ties, a taller, soberer class of 1942 faced
a perilous, but challenging future.

Junior Class
JUNIOR is one Who has lost the
uncertainty of a scared sophomore,
but has 11ot yet attained the high degree
of sophistication represented by a se-
nior.
The class of '43, although handi-
capped from the girls' point of View by
a ratio of 101 girls to '78 boys, still had
the distinction of accomplishing more
than most of its predecessors.
Diving into politics for the first time,
the juniors gave Bob Peterson the title
of Commander-in-chief, Meg Quist the
vice presidency, a11d Jean McDonald
the secretary's post. Darlene Roberg
handled the finances. Other members
of the Junior Executive Council were
Mary Dodds, Don Griffen, Glenn Riggs,
Jim Sutherland and Paul Vance.
thirty-sin:
After adding generously to the gray
hairs of Sponsors Miss Helen Hadish
and Miss Fern Hartsook, the class came
through with flying colors to set a new
record by making more money from its
play than any other class in high school
history.
Much credit was due to the fine Work
of the business committee, whose job it
was to dispose of tickets. They did.
The publicity committee generously of-
fered the citizens of Ames a chance to
get in on a good thing with advertising
in almost every conceivable place.
The play, 'tJ une Mad," proved
worthy of all this advance ballyhoo. Vir-
ginia Kulovv and Milton Potee, star
ticket salesmen with a record of 34
apiece, headed a Well-chosen cast in-
cluding Justine Brintnall, Ted Garfield,
John Harlan, Ted Hartman, Tom
Maney, Polly Pride, Ann Turner, Paul
Vance and Annabelle Vernon.
Ingloriously dirtying their hands and
k11ees backstage, the ineinbers of the
stage crew deserved more eredit than
they got. It was their job to move and
paint all scenery and to ring sirens and
play records when sueh sound effects
were ealled for.
Bringing further glory to the class
were Gloria Lauer and Barbara J ack-
son, whose inusieal talent gave them a
tie for a Julliard scholarship.
The warlike spirit of tl1e nation had
its repercussions in Ames High, when
disagreeinent over the location of the
Junior-Senior Frolie reached surpris-
ingly belligerent proportions. Although
the juniors overwheliningly favored the
new proposal to make the dance truly a
high school affair by holding it in the
sehool gym, conservative seniors voted
by a sn1all margin for the traditional
prom in Great Hall of the Memorial
Union and, as guests of honor, were al-
lowed to have their way.
A year of hard work, eliinaxed by the
prom May 7, left the juniors looking
forward to the day when, as lordly se-
niors, they, too, might have the privi-
lege of amusing themselves at the ex-
pense of a younger class.
t -k It's lucky Bernice isnlt scared oi
the dark, for being the drum major
at. night football games is no light
job.
i' Ted may be awed by his proximi-
ty to Tommy Harmon, but Bus
looks as if he'd rather be that close
to a. good bed.
ir Wonder what Polly said to make
Ted look so sheepish in this scene
from the class play?
'k Tom seems to have incurred the
wrath of two beautiful ladies.

The Spirit
N THE FACE of rising costs and un-
certain deliveries the 1942 "Good
Neighbor Spirit," read from Provi-
dence to Peru, was completed by a dili-
gent staff, who habitually burned the
midnight oil.
Realizing that the main purpose of a
yearbook is to please the students who
will read it now and reminisce over it
in years to come, emphasis was put on
typical, informal pictures and Writeups.
Heading the staff was Frances "Ed"
Kerekes, who divided time between
working on the annual and working on
the business manager for more money.
Dirty jobs such as mounting pictures
and checking identifications were
dished out to assistant. editors Polly
Pride and Meg Quist. -
p Nickey Lindstrom, business manager,
and her two assistants, Mary Dodds and
John Harlan, became adept at bal-
ancing the books as well as curbing the
editorial staff,s more extravagant de-
sires. The smooth-tongued, fast talk-
ing advertising manager, Browne Oto-
palik, assisted by Darleen Barnes and
Jerry Galligan, set a new record for
amount of advertising sold.
Organization pictures and write-ups
were taken care of by Anne Gilman and
boss Herbert Gilkey, Who threatened to
sue for a new pair of shoes after many
trips to photographers to check identi-
iications. Dona Sauvain, senior editor,
kept herself busily occupied-with boy-
friend Byrnes-while Tom Maney and
Martha Coover, junior and sophomore
editors, wrote and rewrote copy until
the final deadline.
Carrold Iverson, suave feature edi-
tor, continually threatened the staff's
existence by making up chem experi-
ments during meetings.

winning teanis in all 111iljO1' sports. while
Frances Friley reveled in an enlarged

iuin for eniphasizing tlieine, was exe-
euted by Lila Mae Hunnnel and Jean

looks Were the distinguishing marks
of both cub and first string journalists
as they struggled to meet copy dead-
lines and inch reports for the Ufeekly
llfeb, a page published each YVednes-
day in the Ames Tribunlc.
Most notable achievement of the first
semester class was the notorious per-
sonality sketch of 'fa little bit of Pana-
ma," which began as a formal protest
against burdensome assignments and
developed into a gala occasion, featur-
ing efficient assembly line production
under which each paragraph was Writ-
ten by a different group of students and
carbon copies of the net results were
turned in, earning an "F" for each
class member.
Important social events for both
classes were the scrapbook parties held
regularly each six Weeks just before
journalism scrapbooks were due, where
paste, scissors, carbon paper and ice
cream mingled in a confused, but pleas-
ant medley.

of kindly patronage which was some-
times hard to take.
Highlight of the course for Keith
Berry, Herb Gilkey, Al Hausrath,
Frances Kerekes, Mary Elizabeth Lush,
Bob Stafford and Lois Stewart was the
Iowa High School Press Association
convention early in October. Most pro-
lific writer of thc year was Browne Oto-
palik, who produced almost 20 feet of
printed copy in five weeks. Bob Dilts
set a new record by mentioning his own
name six times in one story. Problem
child IVayne Cunningham cheerfully
ignored deadlines, while pioneers Herb
Grilkey and Bob Stafford sought to pop-
ularize the "dance and duck" system.
I11 addition to publishing the lVf'b,
the journalism classes inade an exten-
sive study of propaganda, and the sec-
ond semester course also included a unit
on advertising.
VVould-be journalists were reminded
of the importance of accuracy when
Cubs and seniors heard the llfeb dis-
sected by Rodney Fox, Iowa State Col-
lege journalism instructor, and Daily
Sfudmzt staff members John Rigg and
Ronald Ross.
Cubs' Club, an organization for ju-
nior and sophomore journalists, put out
the I-Vela between semesters and dug up
news to plug the gaps which a small sec-
ond semester class could not fill. Best
friends and severest critics of the Cubs
were the TVcb Staff niembers, who alter-
nately tore hair over their editorializ-
ing tendencies and rejoiced over their
cleverness and originality.

The combined Girls' Glee Clubs pre-
sented their annual Christmas candle-
light service for the high school. They
also sang for the businessmen's Christ-
mas luncheon at the Hotel Sheldon-

After tl1e candlelight service a few

ty Home at Nevada, where they e11ter-

Christmas carols and presented them
with gifts from Hi-Y and Girl Reserve
members.
The Boys' Glee Club broke its reso-
lution to sing for pleasure only during
the year when it took part in the "Pag-
eant for Peace" and the Tri-City Music
Festival at Fort Dodge. Another rule set
up by the club was to attempt only four
part so11gs. Besides being accompanist

and Ed Ritts catalogued music in the

As war time tire priorities caught up
with the bus companies, it was neces-
sary to make the Fort Dodge trip via
tl1e "dinky" route, k11ow11 in more elite
classes as the Fort Dodge, Des Moines,
and Southern Interurban. This mode
of travel was a new and novel method
to most of Ames High 's musicians.
Special training was given during the
year to those showing unusual ability
and desiring to do solo work or to be
members of the small vocal groups. A
class in fundamentals was held for those
wishing to broaden their knowledge and
understanding of music interpretation
and composition.

nets whenever necessary. Jiin Iversen
tickled tl1e piano keys, Dean Dixon
slapped the bass iiddle, and Ken Nelson
handled the druins.
The Rhythin Club not only played
for all of the sehool's matinee dances,
which were held eaeh six weeks, but it
also presented an eiitliusiastically re-
ceived assenibly, the first of this type
ever to be presented for the l1igh school,
and provided entertainment between
halves at the Mason City-Ames basket--
ball game. In the spring the band
appeared at the Collegian Theater. The
group also presented a program at the

field and avenged the negative team's
defeat at the hands of Newton by pul-

girl's first heart break. Culminating
on the night of a party in honor of house
guest Roger Van Vleck, the play
brought Julie, the next door neigh-

Knowing that their class picnic de-

seniors developed a high-pressure tick-

breathless. "Dulcy," presented May 1,
was a comedy of hilarious situations.
In a well-meant attempt to be helpful'
to her husband Dulcy invited an ill-as-

party rapidly developed into a series of

library. One of the niost iniportant of

they Were replaced, keeping the nuniber
of volumes at niore than 25500.
Under the supervision of the new li-
brarian, Miss Helen Holt, and assistant
Eleanor McElyea, members of Library

observation and practice.
The club also kept a scrap book of all
high school activities, classified and
catalogued new books and arranged Ina-

AMES 8, DOVVLING 0
Sloshing through a sea of mud and
water, Ames High's grid team opened
its 1941 season by Submerging Dowling's
Irislnnen. Quarterback Ed Farni led
the way as he blocked a punt for a safe-
ty and then slithered over the goal with
the soggy pigskin for a touchdown. The
Ames linemen, reputedly "green,"
turned up "black" along the entire for-
ward wall as they battled on the slip-
pery turf.

Franklin threat for three and one-half
quarters before their defenses at last
cracked.

on a blocked punt seconds later for an-
other marker.
Second Team Fo
MES Hi gh's second teain, featuring
one of its greatest baekiields in
years battled through a successful 1941
season to pile up four victories in a iive
ganie span.
The sophoniores got- their season oif
to a tlying start by knocking off both the
Marslialltown Bobcats and Jefferson by
7-0 scores. After falling before Boone's
first teani reserves 18-7, they swept back
by sinashing East Des Moines seconds
26-0 and capped off their campaign
by walloping Nevada's Cubs -L5-6.
One of the year's highlights was the

reverse, a deceptive running play ein-
otball
ploying 2111 unprotected sweep around
end, from which halfback Fred Black
sprinted across the goal for seven touch-
downs in two successive ganies. Other
points of nierit were a potent aerial at-
tack, which inerged with the brilliant
running gaine to forin a. powerful of-
fense, and a tight pass defense.
Froni Coach Everett Ritland's speedy
baekiield Fred Black, K. L. Davis, Fred

ISPLAYING unexpectedly good
form, Ames High 's hard-fighting
cage crew battled through the 1941-42
basketball season to capture 15 victories
in a 22 game schedule.
The Little Cyclones rolled along a 10
game league season with eight wins to
seize undisputed possession of the Cen-
tral Iowa Conference crown. Although
losing to Grinnell and Boone in loop
play, the Ames quintet took the title by
showing ability to come through in the
clutches with narrow margins of vic-
tory.
In tournament play the Orange and
Black blasted Boone's hopes in the sec-
tional meet with a 31-30 decision. After
subduing Jefferson 34-23 in the district
meet the Little Cyclones fell before Ne-
vada in the iinals. Although they had
been defeated in tournament competi-
seventy-two
tion, a new Iowa High School Athletic
Association ruling permitted the Little
Cyclones to advance to the sub-state
tourney, where they slid by Newton
33-28 in an overtime before taking a
semi-inal round defeat, again at the
hands of smooth-working Nevada.
As a contribution to the nation's war
effort, the Little Cyclones encountered
Mason City 's Mohawks in a pair of Red
Cross Wai' Relief matches which netted
a total donation of 5750, S250 of which
was received from the game played in
Mason City and S500 from the contest at
Ames. By ramming in six rapid-tire
points during a torrid last minute of
play, the Mohawks nipped the Little Cy-
clones 30-28 in the first meeting, only to
have the tables turned in the second
clash as Ames came through with a 25-
19 win.
Forward Lloyd Kester dominated tl1e
year's scoring as he dumped in a 233
point total, a new sehool scoring record
whieh ahnost doubled that of Ray
Byrnes, speedy defensive star, who
counted 120 for second. Bob Xieholson
captured third plaee honors with 71
points, while Bud Benian scored 70g
J ini Sutherland, 515 Vern Norlin, 245
Bruce lllierson, 19g Dave Shoekley, 19g
Al Caine, 35 Kenneth Davis, 3g and Bill
Mahone, 1.
The offensive record of the squad
showed a 28 point average per ganie
against opponents' 26. The Little Cy-
elones lnade 21 per eent of all shots tak-
en, while 19 per eent were niade by the
opposition. In free throw shooting the
Anies crew dropped in 49 per cent of its
gift tosses. Leading in this departnient
was guard Ray Byrnes, who eonneeted
for 36 sueeessful shots out of a possible
G2 for a pereentage of 58, while Lloyd
Kester eoinpiled a percentage of 50 by
sinking a total of 35 shots out of 70 at-
telnpted.
During the season a game captain
system was used by Coach Ken Wvells,
whereby in eaeh ganie one ineniber of
the starting quintet took his turn at the
eaptainls position.

High 's racket wielders were confronted
by ideal conditions as they entered what
might be their last season of active com-
petition for several years. Returning
senior lettermen John Rice and J im

the bulk of the orange and black hopes
into the 1942 court campaign, while
three juniors with some competitive ex-
perience, Don Illeman, Bruce Ross and
Bud Schliek, 311Cl sophomore J im Mor-
ris bolstered the squad in holding down
the remaining positions.
After a disastrous attempt to capture
the fall district title the Little Cyclones
engaged in the Iowa State Teachers

series of dual meets with Roosevelt and

Sports Managers
ITTLE heralded, but none the less
of primary necessity in the success
of athletic events are the athletic inan-
agers. Included in tl1is category are
hardworking athletic trainers, money
jingling ticket sellers, ticket takers, and
ushers.
At least one trainer can be found
hauling tackli11g dunnnies, taping
sprained ankles, adniinistering minor
iirst aid treatment, putting up new bas-
ketball nets, checking out towels and
keeping records of each athlete's daily
performance. Long after the team 1116111-
bers have gone l1o1ne to observe training
hours, these faithful boys are still busy
caring for all the athletic equipment of
the school.
The ticket salesmen aided, or perhaps
guarded, by faculty menibers, and the
ushers, whose duty it was to see that the
reserved sections did not become gen-
eral admission sections, were obliged to
gulp down hasty suppers in order to re-
port for duty a half hour before the
gates were opened.
The o11ly reward that these managers
received, aside from the satisfaction of
helping the team win, was the privilege
of being admitted to all athletic events
free of charge.

ford, beloved G. A. A. sponsor, decided
in favor of the first and joined the Unit-
ed States Army as director of the Rec-
reational Department of the station
hospital at Camp Barkeley, Abilene,
Texas. Although the sudden depart-
ure of Miss Lunsford left the girls
minus an active sponsor, they carried
on in the best G. A. A. tradition.
Founded for the express beneit of
high school girls, the main purpose of
the Girls, Athletic Association is to en-
able each individual to improve physi-
cally, mentally, morally and socially.
To obtain the privilege of paying her
membership dues, a girl must have at
least 100 points to her credit. The or-
ganization offers three awards, the
minor "A," which is awarded to mem-
bers securing a 500 point total, the
major "A," which requires 1,000 points,
and the coveted orange and black pillow
top, ,given for additional work in the
Association. Points must be earned in
five divisions-leadership, organized
activities, unorganized activities, skill
tests and health charts.

LTHGUGH it is often the more
frivolous things about high school
that stay in the memories of Ames grad-
uates, all is not light and airy in the
elassroom. From their first day as
sophomores to their last as seniors, most
students realized that they could take
advantage of their opportunities o11ly by
hard work. Although a eertain amount
of the omnipresent 'CI don lt care" atti-
tude was evident, the general feeling in
most elasses was one of putting forth ef-
fort. Students were fortunate however
to be studying in a progressive school
where teachers made a special effort to
make classes interesting as well as in-
formative.
How to lose ten thousand dollars in
less than two months is among the easier
things mastered by economies students.
Given imaginary money by Miss OX-
borrow, the students invested it in
stocks and bonds. By daily study of the
market reports, they bought and sold,
but paid no brokers' fees. A few class
members made money, but most of them
lost quite heavily.
Miss Hadish, alias Mlle. Hadish, has
now added another alias, Senorita. Ha-
ish, to her list. Because of the good

If the women take over the world

SO WHAT!
VVe've slaved and slaved for days and days
To think of 11ew and different ways
To tell you what we mean.
VVe've hoped and hoped these ads might raise
Our sales, now rather lean.
"Our super, duper product is the only one to
use. "
"Not man bites dog-but man displeased-that's
news. "
These slogans weren't so bard,
But how can we help you to choose
If 110 one reads our ad.
