Fire Squad Y DOING practically everything except pushing students out of the windows or throwing them down the stairs, the Fire Squad came within one- tenth of a second of its goal of sixty sec- onds for a fire drill, thus establishing a new all time record. These hall monitors, whose duties in the school roughly parallel those of traffic cops in a city, devoted most of their time during the year to eliminat- Ine confusion im the halls. In line with the effort to prepare for the possibility of air raids, this group took on added responsibility of making arrangements for Just this kind of an eventuality. Even during the first dark, sleep-in- viting mornings of War Time, these Tor Row: SECOND Row: boys, who wear small orange badges to identify them, were at their posts more or less promptly at 8:15 and again at 12:45 each day. Two members were on duty at the northeast and southwest doors at 8 and again at 12:30. Because such hall patrolling definitely cramped the style of students the comparative se- clusion of the west hall was popular with many. Each Friday noon the twenty-one Fire Squad members met with their sponsor, Miss Lelah Spatz, and their chief, Leland Dudley, to discuss thorny problems that were always arising, and to get the new assignment ОТ posts for the next week. Thor Ronningen served the group as assistant chief during the year. R. Taylor, B. Rood, H. Richardson, J. Buchanan. I. Spratt, J. Harlan, T. Ronningen, W. Reed B. Nelsen, F. Bender, A. Gilkey, W.

Senior Class AY back in September, 1959, the doors of Ames High swung open to admit the new building's first group of noisy, impertinent sophomores. Lit- tle noticed by upper classmen, but vast- ly important to the newcomers, were such landmarks as Browne Otopalik's orange and black victory shoes, the un- beaten sophomore basketball team, and Ray Byrnes, ‘‘varsity man” and class hero. The loss of Peggy Skerry and Mary Lou Wright was balanced by the addition of such now indispensable class members as Phil Armstrong, bonnie Clausen, Dick Fye, Ginger Halstead and Pat Hovde. Juniors now, and beginning to take a Тор Вох: Breckenridge more prominent part in school activi- ties, the group carried on its organized work under the direction of the Junior Executive Council, composed of Presi- dent John Rice, Vice-president Jack Pinney, Secretary Frances Kerekes, Treasurer Herb Gilkey, and Ray Byrnes and Dean Dixon. Тһе couneil’s year was climaxed May 1 by the customary prom held in honor of the seniors at the Memorial Union. The funds so neees- sary to the success of any social event came from the highly profitable junior play, “The Late Christopher bean.
