Audubon High School - Wheeler Yearbook (Audubon, IA)

Text from Pages 1 - 108 of the 1952 volume:

Dedication We dedicate this yearbook to the Audubon posterity of the future. We have caught glimpses of the Audubon to come—enough to know that after we are gone and this year's events are only a pleasant memory, other students will carry on her traditions with the same spirit we have seen this year and in the past. Superintendent and Principal Mr. Rice attendee! Colorado State College of Education in Greeley, Colorado, where he received his B.A. and M.A. degrees. He is now work- ing on his Educational Doctorate in Elementary Education, Guidance and Psychology. He began his educational career as teacher of social science and head coach at Kim, Colorado. In succeed- ing years he held positions at La Porte, Granada and Monte Vista, Colorado. Before coming to Audu- bon, Mr. Rice was an instructor in the Department of Teaching at Iowa State Teachers College. His hobbies arc sports of all kinds. MR. TED L. FRESE Mr. Fresc attended the State Uni- versity of Iowa where he received his M.A. in Secondary Education. Before coming to Audubon he taught at West Union, Iowa and for five years he was employed in the Alpha Consolidated School. For hobbies, Mr. Frese enjoys phea- sant and fox hunting, bowling and skiing. He also referees at ballgames. MR. HAROLD H. RICE School Board The school board is a group of citizens who serve without material reward—whose influence is as wide spread and as little considered by the average taxpayer as any comparable group in our governmental set-up. We owe gratitude to all the unsung school board members in our school history who have been given the insight to wisely direct school policy, so that we, and those to follow us in Audubon High School, may profit by their foresight. Their material projects this year were the completion of the new grade school, the re- modeling of the high school, and the changes in courses of study. Pictured above are Earl Lang, Dr. Harold K.

During her school years she was an outstanding basketball player, and lettered for four years. Now she is Mr. Rice's secretary. Some of her main jobs arc keeping the activity fund, answering correspondence and writing checks. WALTER WADDELL Walt has been working in the school for the past three years. We will always remember him as the one person we could go to if we lost something. EDUARD ABELTIN Ed has been working as assistant janitor for two years. Ed and his family came to America from Lativa because of the Russian occupation in his home country. —10— I—Our first look II—On to Extra III—fudge Roger V—Our first play VII—Batter Up! It was a beautiful fall day in 1939 when thirty-four new pupils took a tight hold on their mothers’ hands and entered the kindergarten room of the Audubon Public School. We soon got acquainted and started coloring and playing house. At first Charlotte Faye P. had quite a time getting used to the idea of going to school, but cousin Clifton P. soothed sobs and then everything was fine. Miss MeBroom was very well liked by all as she must have known by the long line of pupils that lined up and gave her her daily kiss before going home. It seems Donald H. was always the first in line. Our biggest day during our first year of school was a train trip to Exira. This was our first big adven- ture. Kathrine J. got a little sick from riding backwards but otherwise we were in tip-top condition when our parents ntt us in Exira. From the kindergarten we went into first grade. Here we started reading and were promoted from the “Honey-bees” to the Scotty-dogs with every new word learned. This is the year Roger Law joined our class. During this year we also had a court, complete with a jury and judge. It seems Roger always happened to be taking his turn serving as judge when Kathrine J. would bring up eases against him. You see; Roger would chase Katy home every night after school. We also first learned finger painting here, and it seems we first remember Dean C. because he delighted in chasing Virlcc W. with fingers covered with paint. Rosanne C. was envied because she got to nng the recess bell every day. From the first grade we traveled to second. This is where we had our first taste of social life. Under the careful direction of Martha Jean H. and Jane Ellen M. we held a surprise birthday party for Miss Kopp, complete with birth- day cake an extemporaneous play. As time passed to 1943. this industrious class advanced to third grade. About this time we were just big enough to realize that the world wasn t getting along too well. To help this situation we sold defense stamps to the whole school every Tuesday. We also sold American flag pins and won an emblem which is hanging in the high school today after following our class all through school. We also gave an “All Nations Day, representing all the countries we had studied about in geography. We served our mothers tomato juice and crackers in great style with Amy Jo L. proudly pouring. In fourth grade a larg poinsetta plant occupied our time and was our pride and joy. It was Donna O.'s job to water the plant each day—that is it was until she caught on how tnc new boy, Johnny Sjoolom, ran when she sprinkled him. The little duty was then put into more competent hands and Elizabeth B. was the proud new holder of the yellow watering can. In fifth grade we wept over the sad plights of “Kitty. a china doll, as Miss Hertz read. Coralee Nelscn joined our group then anti as time marched on we came to sixth grade. We must have been pretty ornery during this year because we had three different teachers. We also became very sports minded. We formed a boys and girls softball team. Joyce Ann H. and Roma Ann P. were the efficient cap- tains of the girls. The new boy. Bob Finnerty, led the boys. The girls were all rather jealous of Maxine Jo Ann C. as she was the only girl accepted on the boys team. This was because she was the only girl who could slug a homer to suit the boys. IV—Rosie VI—The Tea IX—Into the Lake Ill—Four of Them! This year we also wrote letters to Philippine boys and girls that were sent by way of our teachers’ husband. Many of us received answers and have con- tinued to write since. In seventh grade we took part in the editing of our first school paper. Charlotte Faye P. also went to State spelling contest. We had picnics and parties and enjoyed being in the upper bracket. During the last year of our grade school career many members of the class took part in our 85 Club” with Johnnie S. acting as president. Charlotte P. and Jane M. were editor and assistant editor of the school paper. “The Bobby Sox News.” We had cheerleaders and a large attendance at every junior high game. Yes. we were enjoying being “tops” in grade school. The highlight of our eighth-grade year was graduation. Here we had all the trimmings, com- plete with corsages, a guest speaker, a class will and prophecy. In the fall of 1948 we entered the great doors of High School fearing whis- pered words of “initiation” and Senior.” Here we were joined by a new band of future friends from the metropolises of Hamlin and Kiniballton. Together we plugged ahead, our noses deep in books such as algebra and general science. We were introduced to one act plays and many other social affairs. This was the year of our first big prom. It was during this year that the noon hour lunch program was minus the most meat due to the appetites of the freshman cooks. Our class was led by Bob Finnerty. as president. In our Sophomore year we became used to pinkies. which were used for everything from a pass to a headache. We lost some of our reserve and more or less found ourselves. We were just getting so we could tell the Sand twins apart anti we could call practically all the new members of the year before by their names. This is the first year we took part in Student Government. We finally had a thumb in the school pic and weren’t considered as babies any longer. We also were in our second year of one-act plays. Donna Oakley cap- ably led our class this year. Our Junior year was very busy. We knew we had the prom ahead of us and we bent our backs to try and make it the best ever. Many secretive plans were formed around this big event. Our theme was “The Stork Club.v Adding to the fun as well as the expense account was our Junior Class play, entitled “A Credit to the Family.” To prove to the Seniors of ’51 that we could capably take over the job of being head of the high school we received their flag on Class Night. After a trip to Hamlin and one car in the ditch we flew the Seniors’ Class Flag for a glorious five minutes in spite of the resistance. Four girls left us this year to get married and two boys also left to join the armed forces. Jane Mag- nussen served as president during this year. Our Senior year was the best, and realizing it to be our last, we enjoyed it to the utmost. Our class play was “Clementine and was a big success. We went to Skip Day in Storm Lake and had a wonderful time. During this year we did our best at everything there was to do. In each game the students did their best remembering, it to be one of the last. In clubs and organizations where Seniors led, the best foot was put forward. In music and speech contests everyone felt a small lump in their throats remembering the fun was soon to end as far as high school was concerned. Jim Bowman served as president during this last year. Here we arc now, to date. We’ve had many wonderful experiences during these years and as we part, each one to his own way, we will never forget these times together. They’ve tom down the old building where we first started but the memories of those days will always be too deep inside us to vanish. Over a period of years, there are only eighteen of us who have been together from the first year but with each new addition to our class it grew stronger and there was more to remember. No, these years, along with the people who made them, will never be forgotten. As the years go on there will be more experiences, some good and some otherwise, but there will always be a soft spot where Audubon High School is concerned. II—We Studied! IV—Money—Hand over first!

Since then WM we have completed nine years in grade school and four in high school. With added height and added knowledge we now leave AHS with our much cherished diplomas. Although the building in which we spent our grade school life has since been replaced by a new and modern building, we will always remember the years we spent within its walls.

The officers shown on their wav to a committee meeting are Shirley Zaigcr, president; Ramona Jorgensen, secre- tary; Charles Mumgaard, treasurer; and Don Jensen, vice-president. Some of the projects of this class were the “Fall Round- Up Dance, the Homecoming dance, and the class play. Many nights of rehearsal proceeded the p-csentatior. of the play. Don’t Look Now.” One of the many comic situations concerned a cow in the basement of the Caldwell home. The scene above is the rehearsal of the play’s climax—taking father to jail for stealing the cow. Sophomore Class Back Row: Billy Swanson. Peter Larsen.

Their activities in- cluded a Halloween dance, a sleigh ride party and several bake sales. A new idea this year was the sale of fancy work made by the girls. Class officers are Frances Campbell, presi- dent; Shirley Jensen, secretary; Peter Larsen, treasurer; and Larry Clark, vice-president. As the fourteenth of March drew near, there was much activity on the hall landing at noon and after school. Preparation of the booths for P.T.A. carnival king and queen was in full swing, as Jim Black, Kathleen Klinkefus, and Mary Kuntzweiler decorate the Sophomore booth. This group carried out the theme of “Wheel of Fortune” in the class colors of violet and white.

Holding an informal meeting in the hall to plan one of these parties are the officers Ellen Jcsperscn, vice-presi- dent; Wayne Scime, president; Wilma Brannan, secretary; and Karl Magnus- sen, treasurer. Odd costumes and peculiar tricks marked the “forrial initiation of the freshman into high school. A party in the gym for the Seniors, a “full-dress” parade through town at noon and an evening marked by stunts and dancing were the highlights of the day’s activities. —37— Eighth Grade BACK ROW: Larry Burger; Marian Fcltncr; Carol Chancy; Glee Clark; Marlene Kuntzwciler; Carol Drtweiler; Danny Jensen; Bill Shaw; Clair Rose; Ronny Wellendorf; Bessie Deist; Bob Best; John Abcltin.

Helping him to decide are the other Eighth Grade officers, Donald Jayne, secretary; Bessie Deist, treas- urer; and Darrell Neilscn, vice-presi- dent. This class proclaimed their high school status by decorated Christmas and Valentine parties. In a gym decorated with large red paper hearts and red and white streamers, the Freshmen celebrated Valen- tine’s day. After an active treasure hunt, the group returned to school for dancing and refreshments. One of the interesting features of these parties is the large number of boys and girls who have learned how to dance. -39— Familiar Faces During the years of 1933 to 1937 Mom and Pop had an attraction for the names of Don and Mary.' Because of this fad in names we have been in a state of confusion. The twenty-two Dons and Marys pictured across are “Coach Don Kristensen, Mrs. Mary Ann Mc- Manus, D. Hallett, M. Culbertson, M. Kuntzwcilcr, D. Lauritsen, D. Jensen, M. Ann Andersen, M. Heiken, D. Lebeck, M. Ann Nelson, M. Kay Win- ther, D. Christensen, D. Easterly, M. Alice Murray, M. Francis Campbell, M. Colette Murray, M. Kcs- selring, D. Merk, D. Olsen, D. Detweiler, D. Rabe. Confusion over names wasn’t enough as far as Mom and Pop were concerned, they had to duplicate their offsprings. Across we find twins that represent 9th through 12th grade. Here they come, two by two; just to try and con- fuse you. Some are short, some arc tall, here they are at roll call. Ilene and Irene Winthcr, Elsie and Eleanor Sand, Bill and Alice Shaw, Dean and Nadine Paulsen, and Lyle and Lois Henriksen. Student Council The officers for the first semester shown seated around the table are Ronnie Christensen, vice president; Jane Magnussen, president; and Marlene Jorgensen, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Frese is the advisor of the student council. The student council is composed of the presidents and vice-presidents of each class and organization, plus two elected representatives from each class. The purpose of the group is to assist in promoting a more democratic high school, and to bring more co-operation between the student body and the faculty. This year the group sponsored the noon milk program, and also organized a noon recreation program of ping-pong, dancing and talent shows for the student body. The assembly committee sold program tickets and sponsored assembly programs. Other active committees were the sifting committee, the safety education committee and the personnel committee. Officers elected at the beginning of the second semester were Ed Van Gordcr, president; Jon Wieman, vice-president; and Marlene Jorgensen, secretary-treasurer. Marching Band The Audubon High School Marching band received the highest honor possible by receiving a I rating at State Marching Contest this fall. The Marching Band gave half time entertainment at every home game during the football season. They also performed at the Firemen’s Festival in Atlantic, at the State Firemen’s convention in Audubon, and at the Football Jamboree in Carroil. In Marching Band it is possible for the students to show their musical annd marching ability and is a good background for anyone that is interested in going farther in a music career. Concert Band Tile Concert Band offers the student more classical music instead of all marches. Here it is possible for the students to show their talent on the instruments they play. The Concert Band gives a winter concert where the public is invited to attend. They also attend the music contest in the spring. With the help of the adults of Audubon the Concert Band presents a series of music concerts. Dance Band Pep Club The Pep Band, which is composed of a small instrumentation from the concert band, adds pep and vitality to the pep meetings and basketball games. They play at the home games during the half. and be- tween games. 44 Choir and Glee Club The Audubon High School choir has had to recruit many new members due to the fact that much of the tenor and bass section graduated in 1950. However, overcoming this drawback by use of many funda- mental drills and procedures, has resulted in a very good mixed chorus. The main events to be looked for- ward to and worked for have been the mid-winter concert and the state contest. The membership of Girls’ Glee Club consists of girls who want to have a good time singing. They have sung a variety of songs ranging in character from fun songs to a sacred anthem. Scattered here and there between numbers they have discussions of how to be better singers. Activities this year have included singing for the Christmas pageant, a spring concert and singing in contest. —45— Instrumental Groups B FLAT CLARINET QUARTET Patricia Jayne; Katherine Jensen, Donna Campbell; Arlene Rose.

As special group projects, students presented debates, panel and symposium discussions on such topics of current interest as “Should Audubon have a Junior College?” and “Women’s Rights.” A group of students and their leader are shown as they presented a panel discussion to the class. As cxtra-currcular speech work these students entered debate, dcclamatary and interpretive reading in the speech contests of the low? High School Speech Asso- ciation. At the preliminary contest held here in Febru- ary, all were advanced to the district meet. Not pictured are Katherine Jensen and David Sunburg, who were on the debate team.

In the past few years it has been introduced into thousands of schools throughout the country. Its purposes include teaching students the importance of driving safely and how to do so. Also the importance of obeying laws and to help the student understand their purpose. We feel that in years to come the effects of the course will be evident in accident statistics. —51— Annual Staff Charlotte Petersen, advertising chairman; Dean Weber, finance chairman; Cliff Petersen, sports editor; Maxine Cowton, editor; JoAnn Griffith, activities editor; Katy Jensen, assistant editor; Donna Campbell, snapshot editor; Janis Nielsen, class editor; Mrs. McMannus, sponsor; Amy Jo Larsen, art editor; Phyliss Nielsen, circulation chairman; John Sjoblom, budget chairman.

The spirited and winning squad lost the conference title to Guthrie Center by one point, and claimed a 5-3 overall season. Jim Bow- man and Roger Law were the co-captains of the Wheelers. THE RECORD ■3 Manning 12 28 Harlan «4 0 Exira 6 '3 Guthrie Center '4 33 Glidden � 3 0 Avoca 33 '3 Coon Rapids 7 '3 Scranton 6 Varsity Basketball Co-Captains The Wheeler cage squad completed regular season play with a 12-5 record, including a first place berth in the county tournament. They then went on to defeat Anita and Exira to cap the sectional trophey. Best wishes for a successful district tourney are extended to the team as The Wheeler” goes to press. Co-Captains Basketball The girls’ basketball squad summed up their season by bringing home the fourth place trophy in the sectional tournament. The girls won over Wcstside in the first round, but met defeat against Coon Rapids in the semi-finals and Panama in the consolation round. The squad, made up of 8 seniors, 2 juniors, 1 sophomore and 1 freshman, played their most interesting games against Exira and Manilla. These games were close and exciting all the way. Wrestling and Track In their second year of intra-squad competition, the Wheelers wrestled in n meets plus the district tourney, making their best showing in the home meet against Hartley. As Don Olsen is the only member to be lost through graduation, the 1952-53 team should be very strong. Charles Sorensen and David Sunberg demonstrate a half- nelson. As the tiack squad begins its daily sprint around the block this spring, interested eyes are turned toward the teams coming events. Featured meets this year will be the Tomahawk relays, the Holstein relays, and the conference meet. —56— Baseball Led by eight returning lettermen who went to the sub-state tournament last year, Audubon is looking for- ward to a successful baseball season. Roger Law, catcher and captain of the 1951 squad, has lettered four times. Other Lettermen arc Darrell Benton, Cliff Petersen, Dean Cramer, Sam Kauffman, Paul Eagen, Don Hallett. Junior High Squads The purpose of junior high competition is to tench oncoming Wheelers the fundamentals of the sport. The basketball team, composed of 12 ninth graders, played ten games this season. Though the junior high wrestling squad meet no opponents this year, three members did see varsity action. Pat Davitt wrest- led in the 129 weight class, while Allan Oakley and Joey Brannan saw occasional competition in high school meets. —58— Girls P. T.

The Hi-Y officers are: Dean Paul- sen, chaplain; Jim Bowman, president; John Sjoblom, secretary; Paul Eagcn, treasurer; Jud Zentmire, vice-president. —61— Y-Teens “Wc, the younger generat.on, are striving now to build a better world.

Do you remember the day? After weeks of plan- ning, climaxed by a pep parade and bon fire rally, on Thursday night, the big Homecoming event was here! The morning found us busy on our homeroom floats, a new attraction at this year’s celebration. The talk that morning centered about who would win the game and who was to be homecoming king and queen. Both questions were answered that afternoon. On a stage beautifully deco- rated with blue and white streamers we saw Nadine Clemmensen and Neil Chris- tensen crown Maxine Cowton and Bob Finnerty as the 1951 homecoming royalty. The members of their court were Katherine Jensen, Donna Oakley, Charlotte Peter- sen, Jim Bowman, Roger Law, and Dean Weber. We all got many laughs out of the parade that followed. At the game we learned that Room 305, using the theme, “We’ll Skunk ’Em” was the parade winner. Second and third places were awarded to 307 and 303 with the mottos, “We ll Plow ’Em Under” and “They Haven’t Got the Guts,” respectively. To make a nice day perfect, our boys pleased the large homecoming crowd with a gridiron victory of 13 to 6 over Scranton. As a fitting climax to the day’s activities, the homecoming dance sponsored by the Junior Class was held at the Memorial Building. Flags of many of the past classes were displayed, and alumni found themselves remembering back to their highschool days. Music for the evening was provided by Roger Loots and his Orchestra Yes, the 1931 homecoming was a wonderful one, don’t you agree? —70— Christmas Holiday A “Merry Christmas” was wished to the Audubon student body by a candlelight pageant given by the Y-Teen and Hi-Y groups. Many tableaux were revealed as John Sjoblom read Christmas passages. The band and glee club presented a selection of music in connection with each scene. In the evening, students visited “Christmas Island and danced to the music of Roger Loots and his orchestra. Santa Claus (in the person of Mr. Strauss) gave each guest a candy cane in keeping with the spirit of the season. Yes, it was a merry Christmas holiday for all. —72— Honor Roll One Act Plays ion’ in The Professor Roars. Meeting the writer of weird tales in His Mamma s Bov, P. T. A.
