Included in this enrollment of eight students were Mary Eckhoff, Flora Mustert, Beulah Bawinkel, Harold Denekas, Gerald Denekas, Iowell Boomgarden, Stuart Freese, and Roger Krayenborg. Jhen they were Hfreshiesn, they received a very thorough initiation by the seniors of that year. The Halloween party was given by this class for the rest of the students in the school. At the beginning of the Sophomore year this class saw an increase in size as they received four new mem- bers. Those coming here from Leaf River High were Le- Roy Boomgarden, Dorothy Diddens and Wilbur Juergens. The other new member was Roland Poppen who came to us from Seward High. This year the beginnings of a basket ball team was seen as the boys began playing a few games. The year came to a delightful close with a very enjoyable picnic held at the Pines. In the fall of the year, 1947, the class saw the return of all its members. One of the first enjoyments was the arrival of our class rings which we wore and admired. Two bowling parties were held by this class during their Junior year, which proved exciting. We were sorry that during the course of this year two of our classmates discontinued their work here. They were Stuart Freese, who moved to a farm near Ainslow and Ro- ger Krayenborg, who was hired out for work. Instead of this class giving a play while they were Juniors, they had a new project. This was publishing NThe Archiven. Some of the members of this class also took part in the Senior play entitled UCousin Jill from Junction Hilln. In May, while this class was in their Junior year, they treated the Seniors to a banquet held at the Grecian Room of the Freeport Hotel at Freeport. The school year again came to a close with a fine picnic at Lowell Park at Dixon. On September 7, 1948 the whole class returned with the exception of Mary Eckhoff and Dorothy Diddens who had other plans. Clara Kampman, a three year student, joined the class this year. Thus the energetic seniors were left with nine members. Class officers were elected at the beginning of the year. The members chosen for office were ---------- --The Archives- CSen1or Class, cont.3 President........ .......Flora Mustert Vice President... ...Lowell Boomgarden Secretaryc ..... .. .... Beulah Bawinkel Treasurero ......... .... Wilbur Juergens Student Council .... .... Roland Poppen Reporters ..,............ .Harold Denekas The Seniors had the opportunity to initiate the freshmen this year. The freshmen always think school is fun, but at initiation the seniors had fun with the freshmen. In the month of December, the Seniors with the aid of some Juniors and the director, D.O.Reeverts, were able to present a play entitled, WGir1 Shy.W At the end of the first semester two of the number finished their high school work before the rest. These two were Beulah Bawinkel and Flora Mustert. In May the Seniors were guests of the Junior Class at a banquet held at Freeport. After four long years of toil, the whole class looked forward to their Baccalaureate and Commencement exercises with eagerness. Qlgii ..... MQPR9 nFbrward-Onward-Upwardn QlQEE .e...

' ' Place: Aboard the Rocket Ship, WSlow-Boatw, speeding toward the planet, Mars. - Seated at the controls of a new-fangled airship is a fat, short, jolly, 69-yeareold Lowell 'Basketballn Boomgarden. Even at his age, Lowell is still prominent in the athletic field as the best marble-player. Seat- ed alongside of him, acting as co-pilot, is millionaire Hgrold Denekas, a distinguished looking man, but tooth- less. C Toothless Harry , they call him.lIn the state- room of the air-ship, seated among the other guests, is vivacious Clara Kampman, now the second wife of Gerald Denekas, the acting governor of Hawaii. These two are very happy as they are on their exciting honeymoon. By the way, this couple met while pest-hunting in the jungles of dark Africa. Sitting near the happy married pair, reading a cook'book, is LeRoy Boomgarden who is on a gusiness trip. Mr. Boomgarden is a very meek little man in'appearance possibly because his wife is a lady wrestler. 'Also resting comfortably on a lounge is Wilbur Juergens, the owner of WJuerkies'Germs and Jello Jointn. Kr. Juergens now considers himself richer than J. D. Rockefeller. He is journeying to see his business partner, Beulah Bawinkel. She also is telephone oper. ator on the telephone line from Mars to the U.S.A. No wonder we can't ever get anybody when we call! As we glide into the very small landing field we are greeted by the short, fat, manager, Roland Poppen, and wife, the former Flora Mustert. Many years ago he exchanged a one-acre airport in Pluto for his present field consisting of 500 acres on Mars. His wife and their thirteen children offer to serve dinnerg but the crew, passengers and Mr. andAMrsLgPoppen and family de- cide to gggpacu to EarthQ55dghayg3a5 eunion on the Cam- pus Q,qfIQB33QNof Atomicgheseerehiiigere they will talk dear P- A- X iig ii S if' W - 1' 1 0 6 2 E ,.- M . . i 1:: f'-'1'1f'--55 ' ' ' 1:-Q, f'-- - F - - I- --,. . i ' . , d --M ' - f-f ' 5435132555?ff5?53:ffff5f5fff:7':'5.5 ff'- J AL Q' It ,.- . -1, - ---R V l:- J h -A Z- I., N I. if -,, ,.

Now this class has lost one member, Clara Kampman,to the Senior Class and has received one new member, Lou- ise Roos, who came from S. D. last year. During their first year at P.P.A., these Hfresh- iesu were properly initiated and gave the Halloween Party Cwhich is the usual duty of the Freshmenb. They also sponsored various other parties. When this class had reached their Sophmore Year they served at basketball games and at the Junior-Sen- ior play. One main event was the basggt-social given in April. This year this class took part in the Senior Play and the results were very satisfactory. In place of a Valentine Party which had not been given the previous year, the class held a Hay-ride. Class rings were re- ceived the first part of March. Another task undertak- en by the class while they were in their, Junior year is the publishing of this book UThe Archiveu, whose staff consists of the following: --The Archive-- HArchive btaffn Editor-In-Chief.

They Vere the fol- lowingg Laura Eckhoff, Loda Manus, Robert Plock, John De Haan, John Fricke, Geraldine Juergens and Harold Wicke. The first exciting thing there seemed to be for this class has the initiation, which took place about two weeks after the school term started. The class was told that they should take care of the Halloween Party which they did. We hope everyone enjoyed it, well---if they didn't it's too late now. At the beginning of the year, we lost our member from hilton Junction, Iowa in the person of Harold Micke. During February we held a basket social for the public. It mas a great success. Preceding the selling of the baskets, a basketball game betmeen the girls of the school was played. We closed our first year of high school with the baccalaureate services and the commencement. In September, 1948, we were all back except one. He was John De Haan. His father had received a call from Randolph, Wisconsin and John left our school after a week or more. Non our class was left with five stu- dents. Officers were elected at a class meeting a few weeks after school was begun. The officers are as fel- lows: President-John Frickeg Vice President-Loda Manusg Secretary-Laura Eckhoffg Treasurer-Robert Plockg Stu- dent Council-Loda Manus and Class Reporter, Geraldine Juergens. As it is the custom of the Sophomore class to give the Valentine party we followed this tradition. The party was held on Saturday nite, Feb. 12. Giddy games, refreshing refreshments, and entertaining entertainment were featured. During the course of this year our class also ser- ved at basketball games and other occasions to make mo- ney. As the Class of 1951, we hope ne may all return next year as Juniors. 54 Geraldine-Juergens, Reporter. ....--- ... ... ..... -.-.-q....... BHS. lk Wi Dale Everts, Doloves andingz St ykel.

We are sorry to report that we lost one member. James De Haan because of his moving to Wisconsin. On the day of September 18 we were thoroughly ini- tiated Cand I do mean thoroughlyb. On that same night a party was held at the gym at which our class was again initiated. We tere also given instructions for the next two weeks at this party, which included bowing to the seniors, tearing green hats and the like. Soon after the beginning of school, a class meeting xas held and officers were elected. They are as follows: President, Delores Kubatzkeg Secretary-Treasurer, Dale Wilkensg Student Council, Harm Stykel and Reporter, Dol- ores Everts. The class advisor is Kiss Shen. In October, the freshies were the hosts of the an- nual Halloxe'en party.

October l9, l948 at the gym and on the campus. In the morning, the advertisers set up their dis- plays and the boys were busy setting up the different stands. Also the people brought their different exhi- bits and entered them. The various exhibits included The afternoon program consisted of an.amateur hour cakes, quilts, ca corn, oats, garden produce, flowers and aprons. nned vegetables, cookies, potatoes, beginning at 2:00 presented. The audience judged the numbers by itheir applause. Receiving high prizes were Robert and Harold Rust who sang a few songs accompanied by Robert with the guitar. Also receiving a high prize were Lowell Boomgarden and Wilbur Juergens who played a couple of songs on small-sized sax-a-phones. All of the other contestants received 2nd ratings. Every contestant received a prize in mcney, After the amateur hcur, a greased pig contest and a poultry scramble was held. olclook. There were eight numbers Following the program in the afternoon the people had time to look at the exhibits and displays and to visit the stands, Activities were again resumed in the evening when another program was again presented. First the exhi- bits were auctioned off by Al Van Loh. Following this Rev, Achtermann showed two movies. The first movie was a short musi c-'l called Winter Wonderland. The second one was URed Wagonu -The history of Swift and Co mpany, This ended a very eventful day and showed much work done on the part of the pupils. Some of th e stu- dents worked hard the day before to get things in order During the day the Junior and Senior girls served lunch. We wish tc thank Mr, Oeth for carrying on this work started by Prof, Kortemeier.

' c ----Urmmm1. snm sHu'1------ By special arrangement with The Dramatic Publishing Company of Chicago, the Class of 1949 presented a comedy of three acts on the nights of December 3 and 4, l948. The play whichxvas entitled NGirl-Shyu was written by Katharine Kavanaugh and was directed by the English pro- fessor, Rev. Reeverts. Large crowds were present on both nights to hear the cast of six boys and six girls preform. The cast consisted of both juniors and seniors. John Rust, Boyd Fricke, and Louise Roos also gave their assistance by being stage managers and prompters. Taking the leading part for the boys was Lowell Boomgarden who played the part of a good looking young man who was Hgirl-shyu. Oke Stimson, played by Roland Poppen was just the opposite and was the present paehkw ness of Peaches Carter CLois Borchersj. Clara Kampman capably took the part of Tom's middle aged but still gay Aunt Caroline. The Dean of the college, Dean Marlow by name was played by Gerald Denekas. Asma CRuby Fulsj was the young negro maid with an infectious laugh. Flora took the leading part of the girls by acting as Barbara Sanford, the pretty young girl Tom falls in love with. Mr. Arsdale, Tom's dictorial father was portrayed by Le- Roy Boomgarden. At first sight he could have feasily been taken for Tom Dewey. Sylvia Webster, the girl who Mr. Arsdale wanted Tom to marry, was played by Betty Stykel. Harold Denekas portrayed the part of Alfred Tennyson Nurgatoyd, the class poet and friend of Tom and Oke. Birdie Laverneg the young girl who Lis a cleaning maid and wants to become a movie actress, was played by Beulah Bawinkel. Wilbur Juergens played the rather Wtoughn role of Chuck Mayo, the .present heart- ache of Birdie. We heard and hope it is true that all present enjoyed these characters who helped to portray the predicaments of a girl-shy fellow who gained a vic- tory over his self-conscious affliction. This event was quite an experience for those who had never acted in a play and also a thrill for those who had already taken part in a like production. It proved good experience on the part of all. Lunch was served both nights by the Freshman and Sophomores, thus providing refreshments as well as en- tertainment. As a token of appreciation, the cast presented Rev. Reeverts with a Ronson lighter. They also expressed their thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Walter Fosha, the make-- up artists by giving them useful gifts. --The Archive- ---- CFHTIPUS - CLEHHIHG ---- On the 7th and 8th of April we all came to school with our rakes, trucks and tractors to do ithe job everyone likes--cleaning campus. Everyone looks for- ward to this day as there is a lot of fun although we are all suppose to be working hard. On April 7th the girls worked outside too, raking hard all day until nearly 4:00 o'clock when we all stopped and had ice cream and pop. The boys were hauling clinkers, leaves and brush all day and were having a lot of fun doing sol The next day the girls cleaned the rooms of the building and we all think they did a good job of it. Everyone at school thinks the place looked a lot better and we look forward to campus cleaning again next year. 'ME?ae1g??

This proved good experience on the part of both leader and singers. On the night of Oct. 12, the chorus journeyed to Fulton there they sang at the Sun- day School Convention. This group also gave a Vesper Service at the Silver Creek Reformed Church on Dec. l9. The Chorus also plan to present a few numbers at Com- mencement and Bacculauriate. The group also: anxiously awaits the coming of the Music Festival which we plan to attend on May 6, 1949 at Lena, Illinois. This usual- ly means a day of fun. The girls spent much time prac- tising the songs for the festival and will probably have learned how to be a peddler from singing NThe Song of the Pedlaru. Taking part in the chorus mere the folloting: lst Soprano-Lois Borchers, Dolores Everts, Laura Eckhoff, and Miss Shen. Later Leona Kruger took the place of Miss Shen. 2nd Soprano-Loda Kanus, Clara Kampman, Lou- ise Roos, and Betty Stykel. Alto-Ruby Fuls, Beulah Ba- winkle, Flora Mustert and Geraldine Juergens. lE42F'fH'svaflQ'sl -eThe Archiven- --------LITEHHRH SUEI'ETH------ This year again the Literary Society was active. During the first part of the year officers were elected for the first semester. They were: President-Roland Poppen, Vice-President-Harold Denekas and Secretary- Clara Kampman. Regular meetings were held on Friday nights. These meetings proved that our school has much talent within it. As is the custom, the society sponsered the annual Christmas party which is held before the beginning of the Christmas vacation. New officers were elected at the close of the First Semester for the following semester. Those elec- ted were Gerald Denekas as President, LeRoy Boomgarden Vice-President, and Betty Stykel as Secretary. Fewer meetings were held the second semester be- cause of the interference with basket ball games. This society is very beneficial not only in using our talents but also in providing good experience to the students W QM Lwjr 1' BW f , .. , , L., r ' xl ,,f.?, K ' ...Ayn-st ., 'I 4 CV' , , rp.

At this ten week session courses taught were en- titled, ULife of Christ, Christian Doctrine, Methods of Christian Teaching, and Child Study.H These r'coursesr are considered to be basic ones in training for Church School leadership. ' It is to be hoped that 'in years to Qcome, many young men and young women will avail themselves of spe- cial training along this line. Therefore we were de- lighted to have Kiss Leona Kruger of Ocheyedan, Iowa, with us this year during Bible Institute season. Rev. Roos and Rev.

Miss Clara Kampman of Aplington, Iowa, also took some work in the Bible Institute department along with Miss Kruger. ! + U F331 A I -E X x Q----.-,g -J 1 qxjgffs 9950 S1444 HUNURS LILXS O lm o o E -SJ o L o . ...-.

They want nothing more to worry about than 'Who made the tackled, Wwho is up to bath, or 'which horse won.0 Its sometimes pretty hard for a girl to keep up with the fast moving events of a foot- ball game but what man will take time out to explain?

They certainly can eat and not very often think of the poor female who struggled to prepare it. Of course, we can't forget the contented mood a man is in when he is with his favorite girl, Then nothing can distract his attention. It all goes to prove that men think of only one thing at a time. When in one cer tain mood, nothing else matters. Not at all like a wom an who can have a million things on her mind at once. A man can usually be thought of as stubborn.

Then procede to Bock Is- land which will take ten days if you walk but I trust you will take a boat.

He is really a woman named Joe, but I don't think that Joe is a very nice name for a girl. Sam is much more original.
