The play centered around homicide detective Dennis O'Firm and six elderly ladies who stayed at a boarding house run by Miss Hildegarde. Detective O'Finn, a handsome Irishman, lived across the street from the ladies. They kept close watch on O'Finn's activities and did everything in their power to attracthim. However, O'F inn payed them no heed. The ladies resorted to homicide, and O'F inn was called in to investigate the death of Miss Elizabeth. In the merry-go-round of questioning which ensued, O'Finn discovered that the five remaining ladies all seemed to know that Elizabeth was poisoned but that no one except the guilty party knew who did it. Detective O'Finn is stumped until newspaper reporter Jane Rogers, who had come to write up the homicide, tells him that he is the motive for the murders.O'Finn tried to solve the problem by ignoring the ladies. This action merely precipitated the death of Miss Nettie. When O'Finn visited Miss Birdie, Miss Amantha, Miss Lucy, and Miss Hildegardeg he discovered that his attentions were even more jealously coveted. However, by fending off the ladies' attentions for a few moments, O'Finn was able to work some of the clues together. He was aidedin his endeavors by his assistant, Kramer, by the fingerprint expert, Johnson, and by the ladies who were only too eager to answer questions. O'Finn was finally able to ascertain the identity of the murderer. He hoped that this would end the deaths of the sweet elderly ladies. Miss Hildegarde was revealed as the criminal , and she, happily and possessively, allowed herself to be taken to jail by O'Finn, My, he's even more handsome than my poor husband was! 19 Aurora Aurora Aurora Aurora Aurora Aurora Aurora Aurora Aurora Aurora Aurora Aurora Aurora Aurora Aurora Aurora Aurora Aurora Aurora 15-4 Season Strornsburg Albion Minden York Ord Osceola C entral C ity Seward Geneva C rete Sutton Fullerton Superior C entral City Wood River St, Paul District Seward G,I.

Roblee as Vivian. 24 The Senior Class Play, entitled Our Girls , was an hilarious comedy featuring boys masquerading as girls. Elmer and Mildred Lovejoy have three red-blooded - merican sons named Vivian , Francis , and Jessie' These names are used as a disguise to prevent an e centric Aunt Jessie in England from knowing that h niece, Mildred Lovejoy, had boys instead of girls. 4 such a.n event, Aunt Jessie promised to disinherit family from her considerable fortune. Since Mildred - Elmer believed Aunt Jessie would never return to United States, the names seemed a simple soluti to the problem, and the money was needed by Elm to expand his business and to send Hulda, the mai to Sweden to marry Henrik. On the eve of Vivian's sixteenth birthday, a letter fro Aunt Jessie informing Mildred and Elmer that s will be arriving in afew days to present Vivian personal with his 355,000 check, creates havoc. Elmer solves problem by persuading the boys to dress and act as gir during Aimt Jessie's stay. The boys become girls in boisterous fashion with thei individual peculiarities. As the plot unfolds, tensl builds, and several times the secret is almost re vealed when a loud, meddling neighbor, Mrs. Wattle demands payment for the bay window she accuse Jesse of breaking, Phyllis Wattles, her daughte visits Vivian to continue their romantic interest i one another, and Vivian, dressed as boy, sprints throug the living room, is spotted by Aunt Jessie, but hurriedl explained by Mildred as the plumber. Matters proceed successfully, but in comic fashion, unt Vivian is discovered in boy's clothes by Aunt Jessie Realizing the game is up he tells all, but obtains promise from his aunt not to tell Mildred or Elme Vivian's sixteenth birthday dawns bright and happy forth family. However, Mildred's discovery of a note le by Aunt Jessie darkens the entire situation. The not reveals that Aunt Jessie has left for England, disin heriting them all because she cannot stand the girls If they had been boys, it might have been different, she writes. Complete despair reigns until Aunt Jessie' sudden reappearance, ultimate reconciliation, and re newed happiness. The entire cast, the director, Mr. George Justus, th production staff, and the committees all helped to mak the play a magnificent success. S Elmer Lovejoy, Played by J. Bowles, tensely awaits the 35000 from Aunt Jessie for his business L. Schultz, as Mildred Lovejoy, contemplates the problem of the girls masculinity. I PROM ROYAUY ' 1 Oueen - linda Ross X , , '.

Under the Magnolias provided a lux- uriant setting for the Junior-SeniorBan- quet and Prom held May 14. The audi- torium was simply yet elegantly deco- rated to follow the theme. The center of the floor was graced with a huge magnolia tree, burstingwith pink flowers and hung with Spanish moss.Its branches extended over the entire dance floor from the dining area to the rustic well which furnished mint ju1ip to the guests. The Banquet entertainment boasted a medley of Southern folk songs by the Natchez songb1rds - Rosemary Mankin, Debby Pence, Joyce Anderson, and Marjean Regier. Special memorandums by Barbara Zeliff and Mr. Miche1i's cherished words on character impressed all. Tommy Morgan and his combo filled the air with dance music which floated from a quaint gazebo. The stage created a distinguished South- ern aura of splendor, a white-pillared mansion was the background for the most exciting event of the evening, the crowning of the King and Queen. These honors were vested upon Linda Ross and Randy Gustafson, who were royally at- tended by Linda Schultz, Mike Newman, Anne Whitney, and Tom Smith. Debby Pence and David Waldron make a perfect setting near the wishing well. I 1 BACCALAUREATE Baccalaureate services were held on May 16th, and were conducted by the Aurora Ministerial Association, Mr. Peterson and Mr. Marsden led the Seniors into the auditorium for this solemn service of worship while Mrs. Pam Allen played the traditional War March of the Priests . The Rev. Arnold Olsen gave the invocation and benedictiong scripture and prayer were given by the Rev. John Deanna Herron was Valedictorian. Mikkelsen. The high school mixed chorus and girl's glee, under the direction of Mr. Joseph Peterson, presented three religious numbers. Formula for Success was the title of the sermon by the Rev, Herschel Dugan. The formula that he suggested was service to mankind with a self-forgetting attitudeg only in this way, would it be possible to achieve success and true happiness. Linda Schultz was Salutatorian. Seniors sang their last songs in the school, which were memorial to them. THE BEGINNING OE THE FUTURE The beginning of further education and afu- ture life of service--this is commence- ment, It is not meant to be a sentimental melodrama of the most wonderful years of our lives, these are good years, but look- ing ahead we see wonders to challenge and beckon us. It is a parting with friends we have known all of our school daysg a parting with teachers we have come to respect, a separation from all that is famil- iar to us. Yet--commencement is an in- centive to apply our still meager educa- tion to a productive future. The commencement exercises were indeed impressive to the seventeen-hundred people present on May 18, for the graduation of Aurora high school's largest class. It began with the singing of The Halls of Ivy by the Senior vocal group. The Valedictorian and Salutatorian ad- dresses of Deanna Herron and Linda Schultz, respectively, cited ideals and goals fo r which to strive. The guest speaker, Wilfred W. Nuernberger, Juvenile Court Judge of Lancaster County, emphasized the impor- tance of using our abilities for the good of society. Mr, Nuernberger stressed the point that one is never an educated person, there is always more to be learned. The time finally came for the receiving of diplomas, presented by Dr. J. W, Hadley. Several people were presented with scholar- ships including Regents winner, B a rb ar a Zeliff, and alternates. Deanna H e r r o n, Karen Madsen, and Shirley Keller were also presented scholarships to the colleges which they intend to enter. The evening was concluded as the Seniors began their recessional and their com- mencement. TRACK SQUAD M. A fry W? 'uvsn G. Ellyett, M. Darbro, W, Anderson, J. Lash, S. Hadley Coach Carter.

Mr. Ronald Miller was the director for the first semester and Mr, Joseph Peterson, second semester. Two concerts were the highlight--one at Christmas and another in May. District Music Contest proved to be a profitable experience as the vocal department re- ceived seven superiors and three ex- cellents. Diligence was the key word where music was concerned. Each stu- dent found the year highly enjoyable while learning to work together for harmony and balance. Girls' Triple Trio Left to Right: L, Meismer, accompanist, R. Mankin, P, Graham, M. Regier, R.

It was grueling, yet satisfyingg it was work, but usually fung it meant a few harsh words, but many more thank-you's between members of the combined force which pro- duced this annual. Annual staff meetings were held quite regu- larly to get started on the monstrous job ahead of us, Finally the deadline was near, and PUSH we didg Linda Meismer, editor, joined the products of each work- er, and this yearbook resulted.

Losing pictures, misplacing copy, and gen- eral chaos went hand in hand with meet- ings, A mood worthy of mention was the uncertainty of completiong we knew it had to be done because we had been entrusted with the huge responsibility of it, but the visualization of it as a complete book was beyond possibility. The only thing now left to say is, The Annual Staff sincerelyhopes that this yearbook will be a treasured re- minder of your year of '65, Shir1ey's typing was fine until Gus stepped into th DiCtl11'9.

The Student Council accomplished several out- standing activities during the '64-65' school year. Included in these was an attempt to reciprocate in the American Field Service Program. Three dances with live combos were an accent to the year. Other activities con- ducted were the sale of popcorn at basket- ball games and' the sponsoring of a slouch day, pusserd day . The members of the council themselves felt that the most important actions of the year were certain amendments to the constitution which provided for an altered form of elec- tion of class representative officers. ,ef Nc This year the popcorn sales were up 5.1 over the previous year, thanks to the help of Wayne Roblee and Rodney Thompson.

One of the biggest events of the year was the Daddy-Daughter Date Night which was held in February, Y-Teens and their dads enjoyed an evening of fun, complete with singing. A highlight of the evening was a special number by the senior Y-Teen girls and their dads, entitled Let Me Call You Sweetheart . The de- licious banquet was prepared by the Mothers' Coun- cilg it was served by a group of the senior boys. The evening was thoroughly enjoyedby all. One special treat was Pat Goble's showing slides of her trip with the United States of America Band which toured eastern United States and Canada. Another important activity of the Y-Teens was the installation service held May 7, 1965 in the audi- torium. Mothers of all Y-Teen girls were special guests for the installation of the 1965-1966 slate of officers. New Mothers' Council officers were also installed, and were presented with carnations. Each senior Y-Teen girl received a rose. Following the program, lunch was served by the Y-Teens. Besides these special events, the Y-Teens hold regu- lar meetings. Each meeting is opened with a short devotional, given by a Y-Teen girl. The business meeting is held. After the business meeting, is the Program. This year there have been many very in- teresting programs. Some have been entertainingg some informative. The 1965-1966 Y-Teen officers are as follows: President-Rosemary Mankin, Vice President-Rita Roblee, Secretary-Christi Skinner, Treasurer- Jeanette Palmberg.

HOME ECONOMICS PRESENTS: THIS IS THE YEAR THAT WAS The Future Homemakers of America have as their goal the building of homes for A- merica's future where love and happiness prevail. With this vision in sight, F.H.A, attempts to instill the importance of a good home in the minds of its members. They realize that it takes awoman with experience in cooking, organizing, and working to as- sume the responsibilities of a home and children. During the year of 1964-1965, F. H.A. met regularly on the second and fourth Thurs- days of each month. The officers in charge were Sharin Jensen-P r e sid e nt, Ardith Menke-lst Vice President, Marlyn Bailey- Znd Vice President, Linda Reisinger-Sec- retary, and Ann Wadell-Treasurer. Miss Schurr as their sponsor contributed in the aspect of organization and execution of meetings and special activities. Some of these activities were: U. N, Day Dinner, caroling at the Henderson Children's Horne, Mothers' Valentine Tea, and the spring program, This Was the Year That Was , which was done in conjunction with the Home Economics department. Of impor- tance to the chapter was the fact that seventeen girls received Junior Homemak- ing, Degrees this year. Many of the girls were privileged to attend the State F.H. A. Convention and Officer Leadership Work- shop in Lincoln in the spring. F.F.A. Completes Successiul Year Left to Right, Row One: Mr. Wedeking, J. Peters, G. Wadell, R. Gustafson, D. Jensen, R.

SOCIETY FOR ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT The S.A.A. is an international honor so- ciety founded in 1959 at Quincy, Illinois, by Kiwanis and medical organizations, It is dedicated to motivate youth to achieve academic excellence and to secure a col- lege education and to win the cold war, Community organizations are sponsors of these programsg the Rotary Club is Aurora's sponsor. The S.A.A. is the high school counterpart of Phi Beta Kappa, the great collegiate honor society. Society for Academic Achievement mem- berships are granted annually not to ex- ceed ten percent of the boys and ten per- cent of the girls in the graduating classes. The minimum requirement for students is 100 points which must be accumulated in the seven semesters preceding the last senior semester, Points are awarded according to the courses taken, whether they be strictly academic courses or non-academic courses, More points are given for an A than for a B , A total of 125 points secured by a student will give him the inscription of cum laude on his award certificate. This award is significant be- cause of the stimulus it gives students to achieve a higher level of achievement in courses that are of the most importance. Education is man's most priceless pos- session, for no one can take it away from him. Many potential leaders have refused the opportunities offered or have not been challenged to move ahead. The S.A. A. em- phasizes the importance of education to meet the standards and high purposes our nation must achieve, Stimulus, challenge, and an education which will bring personal fulfillment and supply service to our country. .- .---. - -..... . ...D- ..- .- ... .- ..- .- .. -.

Let us explain what it has meant to the Class of 1965, and we hope it will mean the same for you, We've packed lots of mem- ories in our four years at Aurora, enough to last a lifetime it would seemg yet we ex- pect great things of us and our classmates because we realize that this has been the basis of our dreams. There have been many events for the memory- book. Freshman year brought the new ex- periences. We, as novices, pitched right in. Remember that Homecoming display that we actually thought would win. This was the first for many things: games, dances, organiza- tions. We thought everything was great ex- cept finals and were quite ready to embark on our Sophomore year. As Sophies, we made a valiant attempt to redeem the previous Home- coming farce. Our efforts proved victorious with a rocket that challenged the telephone wires. We had a large representation in our first try at glee clubs. Of this we were duly proud. We had another great year in band and sports: Central Ten Champions, ranked in the State Top Teng basketball brought District runner-up and there was a District Champion- ship and four new records in track. All in X -izifigiszli-13-faiisiiiff all, this was a great year with leaders ahead we shall never forget. As Juniors we pre- sented our first play, The Spiral Staircase Sports again ranked importantg in football, a State rating of 10 , and in track a ranking of S , In May came the Prom, an experience we will always cherish. Debutante's Dream seemed more like a nightmare until the end, when we all had a wonderful time. With the processing of the Class of 1964, we became Seniors of Aurora High School. Great re- sponsibility rested on our shoulders, and we were glad to accept it and do our best. The band finally received an Ak-sar-ben superior and vocal music excelled. In basketball we ranked fourth in the State. Track season brought the State Championship in Class B. The Senior play, entitled Our Girls , must be considered successful. Not everything can be put in writ- ing, not the toil, the trouble, the tears, not the joys, the memories, the glories that have been tied up in these years. It is for us, as individuals to remember these things for our- selves and never forget everything we have accomplished as the Class of 1965. So, as we started down the aisle, we knew that we would always remember what we have meant to each other as classmates, and as the dearest of friends.

Homecoming preparations began the year,fo1- 72 lowed by the choosing of class ring as a momentum of all the years in high school. The style chosen was an oval setting, dif- ferent from that of any class previous to it. The Junior play signified more deliberationg Bu1l In a China Shop was a great success and packed the auditorium beyond expectations. The Prom and Banquet olimaxed the year and meant hours of toil and one very rewarding and enjoyable evening. Under the Magnolias displayed the creativity of the Junior Class.
