-Betty jane Lipman ISI-lb SKIP DAY We, the seniors of the Amana High School, proclaim this day, the 21st of April as official skip day. We are leaving with the assurance that no assignments in English, Government, Phy- sics, Geometry, Shorthand, German, and Home Economics are to be handed in for this day on the 21st or at any future date. We hope that our absence from the Amana High School does not encourage the lower classmen to get school fever. And you, dear teachers, do not retrain from giving your usual assignments. We leave you with this thought--Keep Smiling This is the proclamation that announced senior skip day when the students and teachers arrived at school in the morning. The day was bright and beautiful. The seniors of the different towns met in Home- stead around 9:00 A. M. By 11:00 A. M. a delicious lunch was prepared by,the girls, and was then packed in the back of a pick up truck, which was to be the means of transport- ation for the day. After a. futile attempt at -rounding up Smitty the group set out for Cedar Rapids. The plan was to appear on the Voice of Iowa radio program. We were the first ones men- tioned on the program, and two of the stu- dents were asked to speak on the air in behalf of the group. After this first event, everyone declared dinner was in order. We headed for Ellis Park to eat our lunch. After driving about the park two or three times, to be sure we found the most desirable spot, we finally camped on the top of a hill. The wood was gathered, the fire built, the table set, the wien- ers roasted, and soon everybody was quieting their enormous appetite. The next event for the day was to take an airplane ride. So off we went to Hunter Field to experience a thrilling ride, and a thrilling ride it was. Some had flown before but for others it was their first flight. After everyone had looked at the world from another angle for fifteen minutes another adventure was in order. The day was already coming to a close, so why not a show to top it off. The ride home after the show on the truck was neither warm nor comfortable but no one seemed to mind too much. It was a tired and happy group that fin- ally broke up after an eventful day. Many is the senior who had to nurse a terrific sun and wind burn for days after the adventure. Stiff, tired, sunburned, windtossed. Yes, we were all of that but we loved it. -Marjorie Leichsenring IDEAL BOY AND GIRL This tabulation constitutes the balloting of the high school students.

Ivan Reihman IOURNALISM CONFERENCE On April 24 the professional journalism fra- ternaties and the University of Iowa extension division sponsored an all-day conference for high school journalists on the Iowa campus. More than 100 high school students were re- gistered. Amana students attending were Lil- lian Berger, Betty jane Lipman, Rosemarie Lip- man, Madeline Oehl, and Lillian Roemig. The theme of the conference was Oppor- tunities in Journalism. Taking part in the morning session were such well-known men as George Yates and George Mills of the Des Moines Register , Harold Ellis of the Marengo Pioneer-Republican , M. L. Nelson of the WHO news service, as well as two re- presentatives of the Iowa City Press-Citizen and the Daily Iowan. . Leslie Moeller, director o-f the University of Iowa School of journalism, spoke briefly at a luncheon at the Hotel Jefferson. He outlined what journalism requires of an individual and then what journalism can give the individual. From 2 to 5:30 P. M. four panel discussions were held. In addition to the afore-mentioned persons, ten others participated in the discus- sion. Among them were Bob Pfeiffer of the WMT news staff, Pat Patterson and Gene Claussen of KCRG and KXIC, Don Pedilla of the Cedar Rapids Gazette , as well as other representatives of the Iowa City papers, both student and privately managed. The day was concluded by a tour of station WSUI, where several of the group took part in a program, the Press-Citizen, which is the privately owned paper in Iowa City and is also among the six most modern ones in the coun- try, and the Daily Iowan, which is run and managed by the University students. When the group staggered up the last steps of East Hall, which houses the Daily Iowan, at 7 P. M. everyone agreed QU they had gained much from the conference: Q21 they had had wonderful hosts, Q31 the program had been well-planned and the speakers well-chosen since all were the best in their field, Q41 they were very tired and hungry, Q51 they wanted to go home. NEW STUDENT Beverly Goltz, junior from New York City, entered Amana High School during the second semester. She is visiting with her father, Leon- ard Goltz, and relatives in Middle Amana. She takes only two courses, English literature and world history, while enrolled here because of the difference in curricula in her former and present schools. -Lillian Dickel HATS OFF TO A. H. S. 'S VARADYS C1ed't should certainly go to two students who have helped people know about what is going o-n in school through their ability in art. Art, as a credit subject, is not offered in the high school and what ability these two persons have in art is only what they have been able to develop on their own time. Each had a few basic instructions on art in the lower grades but since then they have worked on their own to improve this ability. The boy is taking a correspondence course in art but the girl has had no other instruction. When posters had to be made for the junior play these two people were called upon to use their imagination and to put their ideas on pa- per. Both spent much time and effort on the posters, which most people glanced at only casually when the posters were displayed in schools and business places. They represented hours of work, however, and were very much in keeping with the spirit of the play. These students should be encouraged to continue their good work. V I Many of you readers will know who the boy and girl are, but for those who do not, we want you to know the two people of whom we are proud, Carl Albert and Rosemarie Lip- man. Good work, keep it up and we hope you go far if you choose art as a profession. -Betty Jane Lipman Nineteen TALK ON DIAMONDS Ohs and Ahs greeted the display of dia- monds that Mrs. Gladys Babson Hannaford brought with her to illustrate her talk on dia- monds in the high school auditorium on Octo- ber 2. Mrs. Hannaford's talk was sponsored by the Y. M. B., and the pupils of the different schools were invited to attend. In her talk on the history of diamonds she explained why they are valuable and how they are mined. She would occasionally produce a replica of some famous diamond to illustrate what she had just said. These of course were glass, but she showed some real cut diamonds and a number of beautiful diamonds rings, which the girls tried on after her talk. -Betty jane Lipman VACCINATION All the students whose parents had sent a request were vaccinated against small pox and diphtheria on April 2 with follow up shots given April 50. Two nurses with the aid of the local doc- tors, Dr. Noe', Dr. Herrmann, and Dr. Moer- shel, gave the students the shots. Lillian Ber- ger and Betty Jane Lipman assisted with regis- tration. , This service was free of charge to the child- ren of Amana Society members, while a charge of 50 cents for small pox and one dollar for diphtheria was made to all the other young- sters. Approximately 150 students took advan- tage of the program. -Betty jane Lipman VISIT FROM UPPER IOWA 1 UNIVERSITY There is a teacher in A. H. S. who has de- viced this formula. Monday all the students are getting over the rough weekend. Tuesday is after Monday, so is about as bad. Thursday is band day and no one is ever quite sure of the schedule that day. Friday finds everyone Qincluding teachersj ready for the weekend. This leaves us Wednesday. On this day there must be a good recitation or there never will be one. It was with this in mind that Mr. Selzer was looking forward to a good session in gov- ernment class, April 14, which happened to be a Wednesday. One of the girls in the row of desks clos- est to the window looked first and before long everyone was looking. A red convertible had stopped where everyone could easily see it. Down stairs the door opened and Mr. Selzer had to go down. As tho they were on springs, all the girls bounded out of their seats and were at the win- dows in less than no time. Ah's, Oh's Gee's Golly's ,and Oh my gosh drifted back to the deserted study hall because outside looking up were about 40--guess what! Yes, you probably guessed it. A professor from Upper Ic.-wa Un- iversity and about 40 of his economics class, all men. Mr. Selzer came back and asked who would go with them to the Refrigeration Division and Woolen Mill. It was with longing eyes that the government class watched Madeline Oehl disappear into one of the string of cars and off they went for a tour of the refrigeration plant, bakery, cabinet shop, woolen mill, and other points of interest in the Amanas. The tour was followed by dinner at the Ox Yoke Inn. At about two o'clock the procedure of the morning was repeated when the group return- ed. to the school. All the girls were ready and willing to go to the auditorium to talk to them but Mr. Selzer and Mr. Neveln finally won out. It was with fond departing glances and many a sigh from A. H. S. students fsighs of relief fro-m the boys and sorrow from the girlsj that the 40 boys again took to the road. Miss ,Oehl's only comment was a hubba hubba! This statement was delivered with a definite lift of the eyebrows and all the other girls seemed to agree. -Betty jane Lipman

Dlfgliteeii THE FIRST SCHOOL PAPER A cold day in December and a summons to come to the English room. Shirley and I walk- ed downstairs discussing the Bugle because we knew that was what the conference was to be about. In the English room we found Miss Moer- shel and she greeted us with Good morning girls, I've been thinking. . . , and so the school paper, Hi-Lites was born. After that morning ideas fell into place and liy january this is how we stood. There were-- people writing articles for the first issue which would be off the press the last week of the month. We had two business managers who would arrange to' sell the paper in high school and junior high. The paper would sell for 14' per issue and consist of two pages. The :school would provide supplies such as paper, carbon, etc. which would be paid for out of the receipts from Hi-Lites sales. The typing as well as hektographing would be done by some :enior girls and the editors. The name Hi-Lites was suggested by Har- riet Ackerman in a contest open to all high fzchool students. The editors hope that the paper will be con- tinued in the future and that eventually the size and circulation will increase. The success of the paper is due largely to the cooperation of the following people: Mr. Neveln for seeing that all the supplies needed were at hand, Miss Moershel for invaluable help in organization, typing, editing, and ad- visor, Lillian Roemig for stepping into Shir- ley's place when she left for the University, :ill the writers who supplied material for pub- lishingg and of course, all the people who bought the paper. -Betty jane Lipman SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM The hot lunch program carried o-n in three of the Amana schools this year permitted pupils in the high school, the junior high, and the in- termediate grades, as well as some of the teach- ers, to eat the noon meal at the Ox Yoke Inn at Amana. This plan made it also possible for Amana students to eat dinner at home. Mr. Selzer dro-ve the school bus every noon. Last year the hot lunch program permitted the pupils to eat soup in the school house. Since not enough students were interested in this program, the school board proposed this new plan of eating at some public eating place. -Lillian Berger TUBERCULOSIS TEST The students of the senior high school, the faculty, and school employees were again X- rayed for tuberculosis on january 16. This year the State Health Department sent out a trailer-truck equipped with an X-ray unit. ln former years the X-ray machine and the other equipment had to' be unloaded and set up in the building before the tests could be- made. No charge was made for this service. The students were introduced to the tests by Mrs. Lenore Hartman Moyle, former super- intendent of Iowa County Schools, who is now working with the State Health Department. On january 6 Mrs. Moyle explained ho-w the tests would be made. The sophomores class typed the cards on which were entered the students' names and all other necessary information. The final reports were mailed to the stu- dents personally. -Henry Zscherny STYLE SHOW Yes, there they were eight in a row sing- ing gaily and all wearing their aprons, first projects in sewing, too. And then there was a varied program: wool skirts, rayon blouses, pajamas, housecoats, cotton blouses, cotton dresses, and pedal pushers. These were the junior and senior homemaking girls who mo- deled their garments for their mothers and friends, Tuesday, May 11, at the high sclool auditorium. Elsie Zimmerman accompanied on the piano and Carolyn Hahn acted as nar- rator. After the program refreshments were served by the girls in the home economics room. TEACHERS BANQUET The first banquet ever given for the teachers of the Amana Schools was held on March 10 in the home economics room of the high school. Dinner was prepared by the junior and senior girls and served by the junior girls. Lillian Sontag was dining room hostess and Rosemarie Lipman and Mary Jane Seifert served as wait- resses. The centerpiece, ,on the dining room table, consisted of an Easter bunny sitting on a nest of brightly colored eggs Two large white can- dles were placed on either end of the table with nests of jelly beans surrounding each can- dle. A small program was placed at each plate on the front of which was a map of the United States, with arrows pointing to towns where the teachers are from. Inside this booklet was the menu and a sealed page which was not to be opened until after dinner. This page revealed an impromptu program. On the spur of the moment such things as after-dinner speeches, a sketch of another teacher, a round sung by two teachers, recitation of a nursery rhyme, a lesson in phonetics, and quotations from Shakespeare, had to be presented by the teach- er to whom they were assigned. The menu consisted of the following: shrimp canope', tomato juice, ham, peas, twice- bakef potatoes, beans, jello, salad, muffins with marmalade. a relish piate of olives, celery, carrots, and radishes, and maraschino cherry angel cake and coffee. Teachers an guests at the banquet were: Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Neveln, Mr. and Mrs. Ron- ald Fleming, Miss Henrietta Moershel, Mrs. James Beck, Mr. and Mrs. joe Franey, Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Selzer, Mr. and Mrs. Terry Randall, Mrs. Augusta Disterhoft, Mr. William C. Heinze, Miss Evelyn Rouner, Miss Bonnie Newhouser, and Miss Marie Zimmerman. -Virginia Metz THE ROYAL BATTLE Who says A. H. S. has no school spirit? Here yours truly steps forward with a very red face. Yes, once I did say that I thought there was no class spirit much less school spirit in A. H. S. Please hold fire a minute. When I said this it was true. We yelled for the team at baseball games, but that was where school spirit seemed to end. Then why is my face red? lust listen. Each class nominated two candidates for king and queen to be elected at the Y-Teen program in April. Three days or so before the program the seniors launched their first cam- paign against the other classes' candidates. Posters announcing Henry Zscherny and Lil- lian Dickel as senior candidates were all distributed over the Amanas by the enterpris- ing seniors. The next morning the school was a-buzz. To be tricked by the seniors! Class meetings were hastely called and committees appointed. The other classes launched a counter-attack on the seniors. By noon the next day it seemed the fresh- men were really going to go all out. The big sheet announcing their candidates could be seen from afar as it floated over the door at A. H. S. By program time posters, signs, flags, and what have you were to be seen everywhere as each class tried their best to outdo the others. This friendly rivalry certainly seened to do the trick. The classes were working together. That's what everyone had been hoping for all year. It was just too' good to be true and the seniors would have been glad at having start- ed this even if their candidates hadn't won fwhich is easy to say since they didj. I'm sorry I ever said anything. A. H. S. does have school spirit and CLASS SPIRIT. This is a sort of left-handed apology for having thought and said such a thing and I'm very glad I had my mind changed. -Betty Jane Lipman I9-lb A GIFT TO THE A. H. S. Two days before Lincoln's birthday, Mr. Carl Berger of South Amana, presented the high school with a New York Herald. This newspaper is a relic which tells in detail about the assasination of the Great Emancipatorj' Lincoln. Even though Mr. Berger had kept this newspaper since he found it in 1918, he believed it would be more beneficial to the high school pupils, and therefore donated it to the high school. The paper is displayed in the window of the Superintendent's office where everyone may view it. -Lillian Berger ENLISTMENT IN U. S. M. C R. Three senior bo-ys enlisted in the United States Marine Corps Reserve. Raymond Oehl, Fred Hahn, and Henry Zscherny signed their enlistment papers for the Reserves here in Amana on February 7. They will serve until February 6, 1952, unless they wish to resign from the reserves. They cannot be called to active duty unless in the time of a national emergency, or if they volunteer to enlist in the regular Marine Corps. -Henry Zscherny LOOKING BACK AT LAST YEAR'S SENIORS William Albert - works in Amana Meat Mar- ket.

Twenty OH! THOSE FRESHIES HARRIET ACKERMANN--With your ability to write poetry besides being able to sing, you should be able to woo your man with very GEORGE BERGER--Why don't you use that technique that you portrayed at the Halloween party to someone who will appreciate it? RICHARD EICHACKER--The seat near the window was put there to study and not to gaze out of the Window. NORMAN GEIGER--You seem to be rather bashful but I guess if we'll give you enough rope you'll be doing okay. MELVIN GRAESSER--Don't take the army say- ing Wipe that smile off your face' too' ser- iousl . HARSRIET HEGEWALD AND ALICE GEYER --We thought the new ruling was to leave the school building after school hours. What is the attraction? Not the baseball team coming in from practice? BILLY METZ--Take to heart the saying Cur- iosity killed a cat. KATHLEEN MOESSNER--Are you practicing to be Vera Vague's double? Or does all that energy and vitality come naturally? ELSIE MOSER--Are candy bars and ice cream cones included in your strict diet? ROY MOSER--How about growing up and act- ing like a gentleman! ALVIN MOUCHKA--When will you begin to understand that school is for the purpose of gaining knowledge and becoming a prize-fight- er.

LOLA ZABOKRTSKY--just why aren't you in- terested in the time of day anymore? Time go- es on, you know!-Lillian Divkel. THE MORNING AFTER THE NIGHT BEFORE Frederic Renner's definition of the A. H. S. is Ah Have Suffered! DUEL IN THE SUN It was morning on the prairie, The sun was shining bright, When I loosened my holster For it was fitting to' tight. Across the plains came riding A dangerous looking lad, So I up and drew my 44, This made him very mad. He jumped off his stallion And looked me in the eye, I then had a gruesome feeling That I was going to die. I asked the critter for his name But he did not reply, Later all he said was, Brother, you're going to die. This made me very angry So I challenged to a duel, For I was very stubborn, Stubborn as a mule. We faced each other back to back, We each ten paces took, And when I filled him full of lead It turned him like a book. He then turned and plugged me, too. We got up and rofde awayg And when the sun went down There dawned another day. This may all sound very silly And full of vigor and zest, We didn't die because we each Had on a bullet-proof vest. -Raymond Oehl STUDY HALL SURVEY Let us imagine that we are one of the teach- ers conducting a study hall. As we wander around the room we see: Jeanette Franke with her nose buried in the latest novel. She manages to tear herself away long enough to greet her friends, however. Leroy passing around a bag of eats to the gals around him. How about passing it a- round a little farther next time--we are hun- gry, too. Anne Marie and Willard L. having a gigg- ling gay time. just what goes on between you two? Betty Jane, either taking her afternoon beauty sleep or sneezing continuously disturb- ing the peace and quiet around her. Willard Hegewald paying more attention to Kathleen than to his German. Carl Albert, a similar case, making goo goo eyes at our new student, Beverly. Oh, Oh! Henry and Carolyn again, com- municating with each other across the study hall. Eyes can talk, can't they? Billy Metz straining his ears and eyes to get the low-down on what is going on around him. You'll soon be a walking encyclopedia if you keep this up. The freshmen slyly working their way over to Harriet A.'s desk. Why? Probably to get help in algebra. Dorothy with a wad of paper in her hand aiming for a hole in the register trying to make a basket. Now we know why the study hall couldn't get warm, the register blocked up with Dorothy's paper wads. Fred making the rounds again. He starts at Glenn's desk, whispers a few words, and giggles. That done, he strides over to Ronald --a little noisier now and the giggle turned into a laugh. Finally he comes to his best pal Theo. Fred pulls up a chair standing close by and prepares to have a long uninterrupted chat. Oh, Oh! Here comes the teacher, and off goes Fred slowly but surely making his way back to his desk, not missing any chance to tease and irritate anyone close by. Melvin trying to find something more to his liking than the open book in front of him. Norman, Billy S., and Dickie rate a big grin. The forty minutes are almost up. Have the students really mastered something? Well, the next recitation will tell the tale. Virginia Metz is having a difficult time trying to decide whether to become the assist- ant store manager at Middle or to assist the driver for the jay's Potato Chip Company on his Monday route. Lillian Berger, why the sudden friendliness with a certain freshman girl? Could her brother be the reason? ,Y CAN YOU IMAGINE The freshmen respecting the seniors? Alvin Moucha with a butch haircut? Fred Baumgartner finding his own seat in the study hall? Vernon Hoppe dating? Virginia Metz not flirting with the available bachelors in school? Leroy Trumpold studying? Billy Metz without hair oil? The twins not being twins? Glenn Wendler paying attention in English class? The five senior girls without their mid-morning snack and caffee klatch? Fred Hahn not brushing back his wave? Roy Moser acting like a gentleman? Study hall without the little tinkling bell? Miss Leichsenring loosing her temper? Lillian Berger without freckles? Miss Rouner with a frown? Kathleen Moessner with a southern drawl? Dorothy Trumpold giving a pep talk? Betty Jane coming to school with jeans? George Eichacker flunking a test? Mr. Neveln without a tie? Harriet Hegewald doing the rumba? -Lillian Dickel IH-Us A YEAR AT A. H. S. A new semester here began When we returned to school in jan. A Y-Teen party gay and merry On Valentine's in February. School activities near and far All come up in the month of Mar. The month when lion and lamb do caper And young men's -fancy turn, that's Apr. After graduation day V . School let out in the month of May. June, july and August fly, Then it's back to Senior High. juniors sadly still remember Seniors present last September. Seniors nasty tricks concoct For the freshmen, last of Oct. To finish their work the students strove Vacation was due in the month of Nov. Merry Christmas to you all, Students in December call. OH, MY! WHAT IS OUR SCHOOL COMING TO? One day, one of our more talented pupils fwe shan't mention the name, gave a demon- stration of bird whistles and calls. He imi- tated such birds as the oriole, crow, hawk, robin. Finally he came to the last one and out came Let me out, let me out. After being asked by the puzzled group as to the name of such a bird, he said, A jail-bird. Miss Rouner is having such a hard time with her pupils that she has to resort to pro'- fanity. One day in science class slie told her pupils to talk to their parents about the dam business fCoralville Dam, that isj. Mr. Selzer certainly had the boys worried one day when he told the economics class that at times the government has to step in and take over the union suits. Miss Leichsenring, just what did happen the day you missed the noon bus back to school. It seems that the students aren't the only ones subject to school fever. If one would not know better we might almost get the idea that the A. H. S. was an institution for love to bloom instead of know- ledge to- bloom. How about that, G. W.- M. J. S., C. H. -H. Z., E. Z., -R. H.? -Lillian Dickel PRE-SEASON PREDICTIONS Baseball days are here once more, To fun and fame they open a door. Women, as men, love the game And cheer their heroes on to fame. Action will start in major league parks, Then fire will spring from pre-seaion sparks. All teams of both leagues their uniforms don, And lo and behold, the race will be on. Many new heroes of unsung fame, Like the A's Lou Brissie, the boy who was lame, Will shine and stand out as the nation's best, Different and better than all the rest. McCarthy back to Boston has gone, As other clubs stars did pawn. We'll see in a while just what effect These trades have had--and what neglect. No' one can tell for sure as yet, But I'll wager with anyone a fairly safe bet, Come August, September, and the end of the race The Cards and the Yankees will land in first place. -Madeline Oehl
