— 1957 ORACLE- LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE SENIOR CLASS We the Sewor Class of '57, being of sound mind and body, despite what the faculty may tell you, do hereby leave to you just a few of our many outstanding quali- ties, too numerous to mention with the profound hope that the future seniors will be just one-tenth the marvelous class we were. Enough of that — so here goes! I, Bob heddersen, president of the Student Council, will this office to my brother. Jun- ior Feddersen, so that it can stay in the family. I, Gilbert Denny, will my '‘extra-no-doze” pills to Rodney Wohlert. I. Chuck Allred, will my manly physique to Norman Lux so he too can be called Mr. America of Hartley High.” I, Delmar Brockshus, will my ability with minister s children to Glenda Phihph, as if she needed it. I, Pat Foley, will my diamond to Beverly Reinke and Karen Liedtke because they look like good prospects. I, Karen Wiese, will my giggling ability to Glenda Rons to keep the study halls from getting dull. I, Robert Anderson, will my quietness to Rex Nonneman so there won’t be so much dis- turbance in study halls. I. Harland Cummings, will my perfect hair-do to Ronald Hennings so the girls will have something to look at next year. I, Norman Kroese, will my way with women to Dale Wille so there will be a Romeo in the future Senior Class. I. Gerald Nissen, will my smoke-ring blowing ability to David Roth. Incidently, this isn’t in effect until after football season. We, Rita Thorne and Marlys Klinker, will our ability to look alike to Ruby and Ruth Jacobsma so the Senior Class can have a pair of twins too. I, Larry Wills, will my grid-iron ability to Pat Fanning, although he doesn't need it. I, Margo Brinkert, will my pleasing personality to Jolene Fahlenkamp. I, Sharon Lux, will my cheerleading ability to Judy Mundt so Hartley High will have plenty of enthusiasm at the games next year. I. Marlene Schwien, will my love of letter writing to Janet Zinn so the postmen will be kept hopping. I, Marlys Gruhn, will my ability to make baskets to Nancy Smith so that the Hawkettes can keep up their torrid shooting next year. Page Seventeen

— 1957 ORACLE— CLASS HISTORY (Continued) After three months of wonderful vacation, we returned to school and our sopho- more year. We began with forty-five students this year. Candidates for homecoming were Betty Speck and Bob Anderson. Our float received a second place rating. JoAnn Hesse reigned over our Oracle and Pat Foley was her attendant. We entered our junior year with forty-two; our class seemed to be getting small- er all the time. Those who left us were Cheryl Baird, Rosalie Habbena and Sharon Harms. Although we lost three, Norman Kroese from Moneta joined us to make it total forty. Our homecoming king and queen this year were Mable Groff and Jay Hofmeyer. Our float, which was very well constructed, won first prize. Another great moment during our junior year was when we received our class rings. Although some didn't keep them very long, they were very pretty. Mary Lou Westphal was our Oracle candidate this year. The biggest event of our junior year was getting ready for our banquet. The theme was Hitch Your Wagon to a Star. We had a delicious dinner and a dance afterwards. Oh, those late hours, but it was loads of fun! Our last year in good old Hartley High School began with forty-two. Homer Ewoldt left us at the end of the junior year. Lyle Stoterau graduated and Jeanette Boe- tel left us at the end of the first semester, which left us with our present number of forty. Our first big thrill for the year was freshman initiation. Oh, those poor fresh- men ! Then came homecoming. Our float received second prize. JoAnn Hesse and Harland Cummings reigned over the festivities. Barbara Olhausen and Mable Groff were the attendants. For our pictures all forty of us made a trip to Spencer to Medlar’s to say cheese.” The queen of our yearbook, the Oracle, is Margo Brinkert. So now we must say goodbye to thirteen years of hard work. There have been good times and bad ones. Now we, the class of '57 must step aside and let another class take our place. The school life for us ends, but a new and different life will soon begin as we leave these doors of this, our beloved school. Rage Sixteen
