this is the Spirit
of Ames High, I decided that
no better words could be found
Ames High than those of our
own Loyalty Song. Today
these thoughts express loyalty
not only to our school, but to
our country. I dedicate this
1944 Spirit to the alumni and
teachers now in the Armed
Forces and to those students
and teachers who soon will
be lighting for our
Tilde Sam.
to express the real spirit of

Orix history began way back
in September, 1941, when we,
then shy sophomores, entered the
hallowed halls of learning, old
Ames High.
Juniors, next, we were becoming
more a part in organized school
activities. Our first class election
resulted in the naming of Frances
O'Xeil as president. Fret I (Joslin
as vice-} resident, and Mary Jean
Otopalik as secretary, while the
treasurer was James Wellhouse.
In addition to these officers, home-
rooms sent Bol Schorv, Paul Sills,
anti Owen Shadle as representa-
tives to 1 lie Junior Executive 'oun-
eil to help lead us through the year.
The class play The ('harm School
financed the Junior-Senior frolic.
which that year, upsetting all pre-
cedence was held in the high school
gym. The frolic was conducted
along circus lines with sideshows,
pink lemonade, a fortune teller and
all decorations, clowns included.
President Fred (Joslin. Vice-
president John Brouhard, Secre-
tary Marilyn Forsyth and Treas-
urer T. M. Moore led an older, more
war minded class through their
final year of high school. The Sen-
ior Senate, which is composed of
the class officers, senior home room
presidents and one member elected
in each home room from which
there is no officer, this year includ-
ed besides the above officers: Mary
Jacob, Marjorie Aikman, Jean
Jackson, Virginia Skinner. La-
page 8Vann Diehl. Boh Richter, Joe
Bush. Owen Shadle. Fred Holler,
Don Dixson and Kenny Qnaife.
'The Senate was responsible I’m
planning: graduation exercises, the
senior picnie and was in charge of
the play.
()ne of the high-lights of onr last,
most spirited year was the annual
mid-year dance, this year railed the
‘‘-Mid-Year Mop-Up," which was
jived and jumped t« the close har-
monies of “Conroy's Corn Cats.'
An all-school election named as onr
king and queen of the evening
“Johnny the Janitor" Hall and
“Maxie the Maid" Sutherland.
Funds for the senior picnic, the
most enjoyable climax to a senior
week crowded with various activi-
ties, were provided by the class
play. Out of tin Frying Fun. 'This
comedy was the lively story of three
boys and three girls who, for finan-
cial reasons, decided to share one
apartment. The six were hopeful
young actors and actresses, stuggl-
ing for recognition. The bewilder-
ment of their landlady, who was
never sure whether they were just
talking or quoting from a play,
added to the general merriment.
’haracters were portrayed by these
members of the senior class:
Bruce Weiser. Bill Ritts, Ruth
Fitz. John Bmilliard. Alice Miller,
Shirley Clark, Marilyn Forsyth,
Mary Lou Dahl, Jack lliland.
Henry Clark, Virgil Xewhouse,
Elmer Lange.
Advertising and production
crews for Out of the Frying Fan
deserved the class' thanks for the
hard jobs they successfully per-
formed.
The success of this year's ath-
letic teams has been due largely to
the excellent playing and sports-
manship of senior members. Out-
standing in football was the work
of such senior hoys as Fritz Black,
Joe Bush, Earl Rhoades. John
Brouhard, Bill Bates, Don Dixson,
Bob Kchory, Fred Ooslin, John F.
Hall, Jim Morris, Ozzic Langlnnd,
Bob W essel. John S. Hall and
Kenny Qnaife.
Senior members of the varsity
basketball squad included John
Brouhard, Owen Shadle, Bill
Bates. Jim Morris, Kenny Qnaife,
Fred (foslin and John F. Hall. Jim
Morris and Kenny Mayo went out
for tennis, while tracksters were
Fritz Black, Bob Sehory. Fred
Ooslin. Kenny Qnaife, John Brou-
hard and T. M. Moore.
As the war progressed, more and
more seniors received “greetings’
from their draft boards, or enlisted
in some branch of the armed forces.
The Air Corps reserve was one of
these favored by many boys. The
Army-Xavy qualifying test for
A-12 and V-.12 college programs
also interested many. Some for-
nici members of the class departed
for service at the end of our junior
yea r.
As our last year came to a close,
we looked soberly forward to the
winning of the peace, and prepared
to take our place in the better
world to come.

Page 22THE .junior class, having ac-
quired the tricks and trades
of Ames High, has taken on the
responsibilities of duration educa-
tion.
The 77 girls and 68 boys chose
Jack Fincliam as '44 proxy, llis
able assistants included Art Mar-
tin, vice-president: M a ry J ea n
Bond, secretary; Mary Alice Riggs,
financial authority of the junior
cabinet. Other members of the
Junior Executive (’ouncil were
Mary Whitley. Marjorie Allen and
Jane draff. The experience and
wisdom that youth lacks wen fur-
nished by Mrs. Flora Miller and
Mr. Richard Trump, class spon-
sors.
“If you want a hair-raising,
seat-gripping ride, buy your tickets
early for 77 c (Host Train." Head-
lines like this appeared in the AYw
York Mirror and other noted
papers, referring to lavish Broad-
way productions of the mystery
drama chosen as the class play.
The play was presented March
17, with such dramatists as Bill
Merrill, Xancilue Fisher, Mary J.
Bond, Alyce Miller, Wayne Wy-
more, Rosemary Moody, Homer
dill. Bob Scvey, Jim Larson, Bob
Van Voorhis and John AY illis.
The publicity committee sent the
populace of our fair city flocking
to buy tickets put out by the busi-
ness committee and the play was a
success financially.
Proceeds of the production,
minus costs of props and other
overhead, financed the magnificent
promenade, the Junior-Senior
Frolic. There was some discussion
about the location and type of
dance, but it was inevitable that it
would be a great success.
Triumph again visited the junior
class in the form of an outstand-
ing contribution to the Fourth War
Loan. Juniors were credited with
$1,005.( 5 worth of American vic-
tory. Highest individual purchas-
ing honors went to Roberta Star-
buck. who loaned $375 to I'ncle
Sam.
Lyle Stoops, a former member of
this class with a brilliant future
in football, gave up such civilian
privileges by becoming a l nited
States Marine. L. Wayne Smith
lost one of his best actors and a
member of The (ihost 'Train cast
when Valois Alderman left for the
army. Valois aided in Ames High
grid contests as a reserve back.
Juniors Bud dibbs, Jim Buck,
Art Martin and Jerry Galvin also
enhanced the football season's
average.
Bud Gibbs, Jim Buck and Jerry
Galvin received varsity awards for
basketball. “Speed” Mitchell. Jim
Buck and Ray Kincheloe replaced
many a divot after chip shots com-
ing on the greens of Homewood.
One of Ames High’s most worthy
sprinters proved to be the juniors
own Bud Gibbs.
In matters of muscles, manners
and mentality the junior class held
its head high and rushed on, leav-
ing important history in its wake,
to the 1945 senior year.

KNOWN to one and all for liis
cheerful “Good Morning"
Mr. Verne M. Young, principal of
Ames High School, has earned a
warm place in the hearts of all tin
students.
The “King" was tin man of tin
hour when lie scored eight points
in the basketball game between tin
senior All-Stars and the Faculty
Fund dors.
Often seen mauling members of
the local Fire Squad or stopping
local belles, Mr. Young has proven
himself a man of varied interests.
A willing adviser, but also an
able disciplinarian, Mr. Young is
our respected and revered leader.

LEONARD a. Steger is not only
superintendent of schools but
also a leader in civic affairs. He is
chairman of the Office of Civilian
Defense and is sponsor of public
forums and adult education classes.
Through these channels the citizens
of Ames have the opportunity
to increase their knowledge and
understanding of domestic and
world affairs.
Stanley Johnston. Sidney Mon-
tague. Floyd Reeves and other
si leakers have been brought to
Ames by Air. Steger to speak in
public forums before its citizens
and in high school assemblies, giv-
ing much food for thought.

MEETIXG problems created
by the war and its results,
the school board aided students of
the nine Ames schools to meet these
problems squarely. Despite gov-
ernment regulations on supplies
and lack of transportation, mem-
bers were able to keep those who
cooperated well equipped.
Supplies were not the only tilings
that were lacking. Personnel
changes created many problems.
The armed forces and need of
teachers in higher paid positions
created many vacancies. However,
the aid of Ames citizens who were
willing to help out during tie
shortage and a few new teachers
kept these positions filled.
In collaboration with the Pity
Council, Student Council, and civic
organizations the board planned to
get a Student Recreation Center.
With student cooperation, it was
thought possible that such a center
might be opened next year. 'This
year, teen-age dances were pro-
vided for high school and junior
high students.
Regular meetings are held the
second Monday of each month. 'The
regular school board election was
held in March.
Heading the board were W. II.

EACH year the Student. Council
takes a greater part in carry-
ing on the principles of student
government and democracy in
Ames High school.
This body is composed of the
presidents of the eighteen home
rooms. Six commit-
tees, appointed each
semester, handle the
most important serv-
ices of the school.
Added to its al-
ready formidable list
of activities, the
(’ounciTs responsi-
bility of seeing each
student participates
in the war effort one
hundred per cent con-
sumes a great deal of its time and
effort. The organization is in
charge of the annual Open House
for parents. This year Council
also aided in plans for the Student
Recreation Center.
Officers first and second semes-
ters were T. M. Moore
and doe Hush, presi-
dents; doe Bush and
Hob Cupps, vice-pres-
idents; David Gar-
field and LaYaun
I)iehl, secretaries and

UTD rZZING" i»ii}»iIs out of tin
building in only 54 seconds,
the Fire Squad this year eclipsed
all former lire drill records by at
least six seconds. Only through ex-
ceptional teamwork was this record
achieved; looking over past rec-
ords, future members hope in case
of fire, to have pupils outside be-
fore you can light the second match
to a hotfoot.
Keeping in step with progress,
although cautioning her against
running in the ball, Ames High’s
hall monitors innovated among
other things a new system of posts
for fire drills, a trial assembly drill,
and the “Fireman’s Ball.”
Tidying, up the corridors by
polishing their badges frequently,
setting wolf traps in West Hall,
and picking up all gum as they
paced their beats, the Fire Squad
also attempted to discourage the
use of the balls as social centers to
walk about and congregate. Great
credit should be given the members
for the trying, and often rewardless
job they bad to do.
Flie organization changed spon-
sors at the semester, shifting the
job from Miss Edna Wilcox to Miss

only senior left on the squad besides

'ashing in on three of six scoring

eleven smashed Valley High to run
away with the season's opener.
Racking up scores once in the sec-
ond quarter and twice in the last,
the outcome of the game was never
in doubt.
Ames 7, Roosevelt (Des Moines) 13
Playing a caliber of ball that be-
lied the fact that it was an early
season game, the Little Vclones
and Roughriders put on a brilliant
exhibition of football in which
Ames' victory streak of 15 consecu-
tive grid triumphs was ended. With
Roosevelt scoring in the third quar-
ter and both teams counting in the
last, the lies Moines school's power
proved too much for the local’s
aerial assaults.
Ames 2b, Newton 6
The Little Cyclones swept thru
a small but scrappy Cardinal eleven
to gain their first blood in the con-
ference race. Sparked by the great
game of Bob Schory, its halfback,
tin locals pushed across the white
line once in the second and third
quarters and twice in the last. New-
ton rang up their only score in the
final stanza via the air.
Ames 0, Marshalltown 26
Marshalltown’s powerful Bob-
cat eleven pounded Ames to her
worst defeat in several years. Cap-
italizing on fumbles, the Bobcats
scored once in the third quarter and
three times in the last, having the
contest well in hand most of the
way. For the Little ('vclones the
defensive play of Brouhard and
Hixson and the ball-toting of Fritz
Black stood out.

With Schory and Goslin leading

across two more goals during the
final period. On the line Don J)ix-
son and Art Martin literally tore
the Indians to shreds with one
smashing tackle after another.
Ames 42, Perry 0
Slamming into Perry with every
thing but the water bucket, the
Little Cyclones scored a half-dozen
times in three quarters to show
everybody concerned the power and
speed of a first class football team.
Led by the brilliant runs of backs
Goslin and Schory, the line block-
ing of Black and the rugged line
work of Martin and Bush, the out-
come was never disputed.
Ames 55, Grinned 0
Whitewashing the Pioneers with
a power-house offensive on ground
and in the air, the Little Cyclones
ran up one of the highest scores in
the school's gridiron history. With
everybody but the coach participat-
ing in the mayhem, the domineer-
ing orange and black eleven inter-
cepted pass after pass to add to the
general scoring excitement running
through the local crowd. Standing
out for Ames were Buck. Gibbs and
Black in the backfield. and Brou-
hard, Bates and Rhoades on the
line.
Ames 6, Boone 0
In one of those games you read
about in books, the Little C yclones
kept that little green jug in our
trophy cabinet, and won undisput-
ed possession of second place in the
conference standings by whipping
the Toreadors on their own field.
However, only a last minute goal
line stand by as determined a ball
club as you ever saw. saved the con-
test from falling in the other direc-
tion. Never was more vicious tack-
ling, more driving plunges, nor
more determined play ever seen in
years of Boone-Ames contests. The
only scoring was done by Fritz
Black on an end-round play late in
the first period. For Boone Bob
Anderson was the whole show,
plunging time after time into the

Season
THE Ames second team with
eoacli Olav Tiller taking over
the reins, went tlirongh a short four
game schedule splitting 50 50 when
the last whistle blew.
Starting off the season the Little
Cyclones downed Jefferson 0-0,
only to come out on the wrong end
of the score sheet to one Story ity
first team, 12-0. Later the sopho-
mores split a pair with Boone de-
feating them 0-0 here and bowing
to the Toreadors by the same score
later op. Some of the potential
varsity prospects gaining their first
taste of high school competition
were halfbacks Donald Downs,
Tubby Ballard and (ieorge Duvall;
fullback Rollaud Knight; linemen
Ben Mason, Jack Marrs, Smith.
Malcolm Schmidt, Max W ilhelm,
John Fen ley and Duane Wilson.
Many of these players will step
into the shoes vacated by senior
members of the varsity squad next
year and their fans feel they will
be up to that difficult task.
Unfortunately, the second team
games do not attract as many spec-
tators as their play warrants, and
in the future these events should
hold a greater share of the spotlight
in the athletic program of Ames
High school.

OASTING one of the finest
squads set'll on tilt' local floor
in six years, the Ames High Little
C’yclones eagers went through their
15 game schedule with only three
defeats, all of which were avenged
later.
Combining a fast break offensive
at the first of the year, which is
without precedent in Ames High
school, with a tight zone defense,
the orange and black quintet went
through their first round of con-
ference competition playing a rath-
er inconsistent brand of basketball,
losing to Marshalltown in an over-
time. dropping a close one with
Newton, and losing a decision to
Boone. Coming into the second
round of play the local eagers
adopted a do-or-die attitude on the
court and swept through every con-
ference doe with as classy a ball
club as there was in the district.
Leading the team to the runner-
up position in the Central Iowa
Conference were nine major letter
winners, Owen Shadle, dim Morris,
John Brouhard, Bill Bates, Ken
Quaife, dim Buck, Fred Goslin.
Bud Gibbs and Jerry Galvin.
In the middle of the season the
orange and black quintet was in-
vited to play an exhibition game
with Fort Dodge at the coaches'
convention. Other non-conference
opponents were Nevada, Perry and
North of Des Moines.
The individual scoring race was
copped by dim Buck, junior, with

152 points to his credit. Following
Buck, Bates netted 110. Shadle. 92,
Morris 58, Gibbs 49, Bronliard 40,
Qua if e 21, Mall 8, Galvin 7. Goslin
6, Moll b. Scliory 2. and Sundall 1.
Topping the free throw depart-
ment was Owen Shadle with 30
points followed by Buck with 24,
Morris 18. Bates 16, Brouhard 1(5,
Gibbs 13, Quaife 11, Goslin 4. Gal-
vin 1, and Sundall 1.
Jim Buck had the dubious honor
of making the most personal fouls
with 33 to his credit followed by
Shadle with 32, Brouhard 25, Gibbs
21, Bates 20, Morris 15. Quaife 9,
Goslin 8, Scliory 3, Moll, Mitchell,
Sundall, and Tilden 1 each.
The outstanding work of junior
members of the varsity squad
shows promise for next year’s
team. However, the experienced
guidance of Coach Everett Ritland
was lost to next year’s squad when
he entered the Navy this spring.
In tournament play, the Little
Cyclones defeated Nevada to ad-
vance to district play only to lose
to their conference tie Joe, Mar-
shalltown, in the semi-final round.
We beat'ni once, anyway!

MENTORED by their new
coach, Olav rrillei . the Ames
High sophomore squad enjoyed an
enviable record of 10 wins and 2
losses, promising fine varsity ma-
terial in the next two years. Adding
to their season's laurels was their
victory over a favored Nevada
quintet in the final of the County
tournament for the first time since
the sophomores have played this
tournament.
Shortage of gas prevented the
second team from participating in
several conference games and forc-
ed them to tackle opponents nearer
their own stamping ground.
During the middle of the season
the sophomores encountered two
school opponents, the 5-F’s and the
Munn Lumber team, and some
from the city recreation league.
George Duvall lead the season’s
scoring with 54 points followed hv
Tub Rallard with 50, Downs 39,

mi only one letter-man re-
turning to Coach Sweden's
fold, and with a questionable
schedule, Ames High netsters start-
ed their campaign with an air of
uncertainty. Nevertheless, the
racketeers maintained confidence
in their ability to knock the ball
around with the best of them.
One of the greatest worries con-
fronting the group was the well
known shortage of tennis balls
which forced most of the boys to
use their own during practices.
Their dubious schedule increased
the fervor of competition between
the team members, resulting in
many good matches and many a
pair of sore feet. Despite the un-
certainty of “where and when
probable opponents included
Boone, West Waterloo, Roosevelt
of Des Moines and Hast Des Moines.
Later on the netsters expected to
participate in the district confer-
ence and state meets, if conditions
permit.
Included in this season’s rostrum
were two experienced seniors: Jim
Morris, who won a letter in this
sport previously, and Kenny Mayo.
These boys were hard pressed by
such contenders as juniors Jack
Fine-ham, Raul Sjurson, Prank
Lcchner. Bob (Nonstock and sopho-
more George Duvall, some of whom
had had previous experience on the
squad. All were under the experi-
enced direction of Loach Bernard
Swedell.

Prospects of one of the best
batch of “iron” men to take to
the wide open spaces greeted Olav
Tiller as he took over the respon-
sibility of guiding our experienced
golfers to great heights. Although
all of them were only juniors, the
squad boasted four returning let-
ter-men, Jim Buck, Ray Kinche-
loe, Speed Mitchell, and Bob Til-
den, and a group of eager new-
comers, Bruce Moll, Fred Swank.
Homer Gill, David Lantz, and
others.
However all was not quite such
a rosy hue. The shortage of bounce-
able golfballs and their substitution
by reprocessed ones and some that
had been hidden in the basement
for the greater part of a decade,
coupled with the somewhat publi-
cized shortage of petrol, forced the
boys to maintain a feeling of obli-
vity to it all in order to cope with
their opponents.
Their somewhat hazy schedule
included a duel match with Boone,
and two invitation meets, plus the
regular conference, district, and
state meets.
This year was the first time as
golf mentor for Coach Tiller. He
replaced John Harms, who is now
in the Navy.

of Bob Bungiun, the intra-
mural athletic program of Ames
High again had a successful year.
All boys who are not on the varsity
squad are eligible for the various
activities.
Every homeroom sponsored a
basketball team which competed in
one of the three leagues. Room 211
was crowned the Championship
League king, Room 235 won the
Runnerup League, while Room 111
took the Scrub League trophy. All-
star teams from each class were
picked and in the finals flu senior
All Stars came out on top of the
sophomores, 24 to 20. The winning
team included Johnnie Hall. John
Tilden, Ed Moore. Don Hixson,
Bud Eschbach, and Paul Davis.
These boys played a select faculty
team consisting of Verne M.
Young, Bob Bungum, Everett Rit-
land. Olav Tiller, and “Red”

IT 11 church programs ar-
ranged early in the season,
and sacred music occupying a more
prominent place than in previous
years. Mixed 'horns members, ably
directed by Miss Edna Bower, en-
countered a busy schedule this year.
Fifty-three members comprised
Chorus iirst semester and ten ap-
prentices were added in January.
Because of the lack of robes a com-
petitive plan among students for
public performances was initiated.
Since many former Chorus stu-
dents are now found on the battle
fronts and others in the camps and
based within the l S., it became a
frequent occurence for uniformed
members to appear during Chorus
period to sing again the perennial
favorites of the organization.
Highlights of first semester were
the Christmas pageant, the musical
background being supplied by
(’horns and soloists from the group,
and the annual reunion held for
Chorus members of past years.
Ed Moore acted as president this
year; Mary Lou Dahl, vice-presi-
dent ; Mary Jacob, secretary-treas-
urer; Dorothy dones, librarian;
Dale Polhemus, robe-keeper.

The play was. in the first place,
the story of Lew Wyckoff, a flash-
ily dressed small.town pool owner,
and his daughter Alice, and what
happened to them during one brief
period of rush week. 1 n the second
place, the tension of rush week
and Greek Star Ghamber sessions

skillfully pictured.

bers of both the advanced and the
beginners' club, was: Lew Wy-
ckoff, Jack inland; his wife Xell,

The comedy was the story of a
young widow who is being pressed

tery comedy The (i host Train,
by Arnold Ridley. Passengers of a
train are stranded in a lonely sta-
tion due to a strange disaster to

their class play. Sharing an apart-
ment. three young men and three
young ladies are driven to live to-

culties. 'These would be actors and

RESOLVED: That the League
of Nations should be Recon-
structed.
Because of the importance which
these few words hold in their mean-
ing, this quest ion was tin one under
discussion at the annual District
Debate Tournament held February
25 and 2( at West Waterloo. The
debaters representing Ames High,
chosen by coach, L. Wayne Smith,
for the affirmative were Rosalie
Robinson and Rosemary Moody,
and representing the negative. Bet-
sy Ross and Frank Ferguson, all
comparative newcomers.
Because of transportation diffi-
culties, the District Tournament
was the only out of town tourna-
ment held this year. In former
tunes the debaters have had the ad-
ditional experience of several so
called “practice'’ debates with
neighboring schools, which helped
to develop a smooth and persuasive
delivery.
But today even without the
afore-mentioned benefits the Ames
squad represented themselves and
the school well in the tournament
having come out with a “good’'
rating.
The winners of the district meet
will go to Iowa City in the spring
to compete with other winners at
the State I adversity.
'This speaking program, it is be-
lieved. will contribute directly to
the support of civilian morale.
Ames High went to the state
championship on two previous oc-
casions, in 1939 and again in 1942.

ber 8 the girls went to the Memor-
ial Union and gave a program for

friends. During April the Spring
Concert was held.

the personnel of Ames High’s
hand. I Aider 1 he direct ion of Rich-
ard Day, music instructor, the fall
mornings were spent practicing
formations on the football field to
he used between halves at football
games. Initial letters of names of
visiting teams and of Ames, plus
many designs along the patriotic
line were featured. With the help
of Pep Club one half time period
was spent in paying tribute to
coaches now in the armed forces,
and to the present coach.
Winter months were spent in-
doors rehearsing for three concerts

Dick Summers was presented to
the audience in the annual Ames
High Orchestra Concert. Also fea-
tured was Jean Jackson, eelloist,
who was soloist in Brook's “Kol
Xedrie”. Included in the program
were the “Rosamunde Overture”
from the opera by Shuber and a
novelty number, “In a Persian
Market” by Ketelbv.
'There is never a dull moment in
the organization, for the cornet
section uses every interval for some
snappy duets or contests between
Owen Sliadle and Bob Comstock.
John Brouhard is also a prized
member due to the fact that lie ar-
rives belatedly at each rehearsal.
Composed of instrumental stu-
dents from Central Junior High as
well as the high school, the orches-
tra is conducted by Richard Day.
'The executive board is Dick Sum-
mers, president; Horna Wilhelm,

★ Barb and Ruth give service with a smile. ★ Laura helps President Nancy tile books.
TIIE year 1943-'44 introduced
several changes in the Ames
High school library. In the fall,
the books were rearranged in more
convenient places. New hooks of
fiction, travel, and science were
added to the library from student
suggestions.
The most popular book was
“Syrian Yankee” an autographed
copy given to the library l y the
author. Salom Rizk.
Under the supervision of Miss
Helen Holt, the librarian, and her
assistant, Mrs. Eleanor Severson,
the 27 members of the Library ('lub
were responsible for keeping the
library in order, arranging new
material in the second-floor display
case, checking the books in and out,
“reading" the shelves, sorting
books, and preparing books for cir-
culation. Special meetings were
held after school to learn how to
catalog fiction books and to ac-
quaint the members with the cor-
rect way of running a library.
Members also work in the library
during study halls, keeping maga-
zines and papers in order and help-
ing students to find desired refer-
ences.
The social activities of the club
differed from those of previous
years. The different types of par-
ties included a scavenger hunt,
Christmas pot-luck, progressive
supper, Valentine party, tea, pic-
nic and others. Nancy Clapp was
president; Jeanie Schreiber, vice-
president and Bov Daugherty, sec-
retary of this organization.

' I 111 !•] sadness of semester schol-
astir averages was alleviated
somewhat by the “Mid-Year Mop-
Cp." 'Phe annual dance for all
classes was held on January 19.
in the “Hall of Intelligence In-
dulgence” of Ames High. Conroy’s
Corn Cats, an aggregation of high-
ly skilled modern music masters,
furnished the background, with
lyrics by Ben Y. Darlington.
High lights of the evening were
character sketches of faculty mem-
bers by students, and the presenta-
tion of “Johnnie the Janitor,"
John Hall, and “Maxie the Maid,"
Maxine Sutherland. The two were
picked by popular vote of the stu-
dent body.
The Student Council social com-
mittee, headed by Roger Roberg,
was by 11 o'clock responsible for
one of Ames High's foremost mor-
ale multipliers.

THE war was brought home to
Ames High more than ever this
year, as War Loan drives. Red
Cross and salvage campaigns were
supported by students already par-
ticipating in victory classes.
Boys’ and girls’ physical educa-
tion «-lasses strove to keep students
in good condition and ready for the
armed services or other war work.
Both senior boys and girls received
physical examinations, and small-
pox vaccinations were given.
A citation from the United
States Treasury Department rec-
ognized the outstanding work of
Ames High students in purchasing
War Bonds and Stamps. Over
$6,000 worth of shares in victory
went to this school’s supporters of
the Fourth War Loan.
Regular classes in Ames High
contained some newcomers this
year; both old and new were on a
war-time basis. Some of the fore-
most victory classes were algebra,
auto mechanics, chemistry, first
aid, home nursing, physics, radio
code, radio fundamentals and trig-
onometry.
Even adults were enrolled in
classes for victory. Closely allied
with the war effort on the home
front were such courses as home
nursing, industrial arts, refresher
typing and shorthand.

ARMY. Navy or Marines—this
is a choice which must be made
by modern high school boys.
“Camp Dodge Kiddies'' is the
name dubbed any and all Ames
High future G.I.’s. This select
group, by the local board, will in
general report on or soon after
June 1. either to the Old Federal
Building if the applicant lias
chosen the Navy, or ( amp Dodge
if he is destined for the Army In-
fantry.
Many who do not wish Infantry
training join some reserve branch
of the service. One, seemingly the
most popular, is the Army Air
Corps Reserve, which has already
claimed Bill Bates, Bob Campbell,
Bob ( base, Henry Clark, Gordon
Dowd, Don Dixson, Bud Eschbach,
Paul Gillpatrick, Fred Goslin, Jim
Holmes, Elmer Lange, Jim Morris,
Bill McCormack, Paul Sills. Kenny
Quaife and Bob Wessel.
Men enlisted in the Army Air
Corps Reserve will be called a few
weeks after they reach 18. They
spend five months preparing for air
crew training at a college or uni-
versity. Then, after classification
as either pilot, navigator or bomb-
ardier, they are entered on a course
varying from 27 to 36 weeks of
intensive training, climaxed by
commissions and silver wings.
Former Ames High students
Dave Loomis, Irving Spratt and
Howard Richardson transferred to
Iowa State college this year, have
entered the Navy College Program
(Y-12) and have been assigned to
various schools.
Twenty or thirty local intellects
ventured forth March 15 to take
the qualifying tests for the ASTP
(A-12) and Y-12 at Ag Assembly.
Scores were announced around
May 1. Those candidates chosen
will be inducted and assigned
schools soon afterwards.
ASTP and Y-12 students will be
entered at selected colleges where
they will pursue a course of study
determined by their own qualifica-
tions and the needs of the armed
forces. Some of the types of
courses included are engineering,
medicine, veterinary, chemistry,
dentistry, aerology and chaplain.
Courses vary in length from a year
and a half for deck officers to five
or six for medics.
Those who couldn't wait for the
draft and joined up spontaneously,
often before they reached 18, in-
clude for the Navy Earl Gibbs, Jim
Oplieim, K. L. Davis and George
Dixon; Kenneth Shockley select-
ed the Merchant Marine, Lyle
Stoops, the Marines. Carmi Spic-
er the ('oast Guard. Ames High
G.I.'s already include Fred Sut-
ter, Jim Clark and Yalois Aider-
man.
To one and all go out our vote
of thanks and a wish for their
speedy return.

began this year with the lack
of a photographer. This was reme-
died by switching feature editor
T. M. Moore to the cameraman’s
job and adding Bob Norton to the
staff as assistant. More troubles
followed. Shortages of film and
flash-bulbs had to In reckoned with.
However, all troubles pictured

people of Ames who pitched in to help us produce items vitally
needed by the armed forces.
Upon these good folks our government has conferred (lie highest
honor for achievement in war-goods production—The Army-Navy
“E” award for excellence.
Such production records would not have been possible without the
loyal support of our many friends among the merchants and citizens
of Ames.
We’re proud of our home town

Is Our 75 th Year in Ames
' In ordinary times, this would call for a big celebration—a “ Diamond Jubilee.'’
But this year other things are more important and our efforts are going toward
doing a good job on the assignments which our government says will bring about
a quicker victory.
r But perhaps you'll pardon us for mentioning our age anyway. It seems to
us good proof that we have served Ames pretty well in the past, and suggests
that we may be counted on to do as well in the future.
An Ames friend of ours made this sketch of the store recently, and
we asked permission to reproduce it.
r But don’t stand outside. Come in and set acquainted with our people.
They are the store.
