Kruse, Treasurer-NOT PICTURED. The Board of Education is an advisory group of business men of whom most of the students are unaware. The board consists of four standing committees. These include the building and grounds, pur- chasing, board policies, and transportation committees. These men exercise a considerable influence over the functioning of the school system. The members of the board are all prominent business and professional men, and contribute much of their time to unselfish service to the school. The Board's projects for this year include: installation of new side- walks, increased student parking area, improved playground equipment, remodeling the corridors and classrooms, and purchas- ing additional buses. 11 Old cow hands” WILLIAM H.

A fitting end to the hustle of Homecoming was a dance, sponsored by the Juniors, in the activity room. The Christmas Pageant, a very impres- sive Christmas Story, was presented to the PTA and the student body of A. H. S. , by the Y-Teen and Hi-Y organizations. The band and Glee Club provided the musical back- ground. The Y-Teens also sponsored a Broken Toy party for needy children of Audubon. In the evening of December 18th the stu- dents visited Winter Wonderland and danced to the music of Leo Dages. The balconies were decorated with evergreen boughs, snowflakes and the traditional mistletoe. The centerpiece consisted of a one seated sleigh complete with sleigh bells and Santa Claus. This was sitting on a mound of snow. During the dance the couples made fre- quent visits to the punch bowl that was made to resemble an igloo. The floor show consist- ed of a dramatization of the song Winter Wonderland ; dancing girls with their high top hats and cut-away coats; last but not least, dear old Santa Claus, with his jolly laugh, and candy for all. Wearing a cheerful smile, Kathleen Klin- kefus reigned over the holiday season as Miss Merry Christmas of 1953. The season was of- ficially brought to a close by the queen's attend- ance at the Twelfth Night ceremonies. C arniuu The P. T. A. Carnival of Audubon High, with its laughter and fun, went off with a bang! The balloons and confetti flew as people entered into the festivities of the evening. Promptly at 10:30 the trumpeters played the fanfare and the 1954 Carnival King and Queen's attendants entered the assembly and took their respective places on the stage. Another fanfare heralded the entrance of the Queen, Linda Hansen, and King, Ray Armen- trout, to the throne.

Theynot onlywon the Conference Championship but also compiled one of the best records in the state. In the season's opener the Wheelers lost to a tough Perry squad by the score of 7 to 6. Spurred on by their last minute setback on the previous week the boys trav- eled to Harlan where they blew the Cyclones off their own field, 28 to 7. Next the Wheelers traveled to Viking Land, where, after the usual hard fought rivalry, the boys came off the field with a 7 to 0 victory. In the next two games the Wheelers trounced Manning and Guthrie Center by scores of 25 to 0 and 20 to 0. 76 REVIEW Perry 7 Harlan 7 Exira 0 Manning 0 Guthrie Center 0 Glidden 7 Greenfield 19 Coon Rapids 0 Scranton 0 40 SUMMARY The Wheelers then came home for their biggest game, the Homecoming Game, which was played with Glidden. The day was a huge success, topped off with a 26 to 7 victory over the Wildcats. Audubon then traveled to Greenfield where they beat the Tigers 27 to 19. The Wheelers then came home to win their final two games of the season, beating Coon Rapids 37 to 0 and Scranton 13 to 0. The Scranton game marked the final High School game for 12 Audubon Seniors.

With five lettermen returning and a very tough schedule, the Audubon basket- ball squad put forth a very successful season. The record, which was not impres- sive, was not a good indication of the fine efforts and good playing of the squad. The record for the season was 8 wins and 10 losses. Some of the outstanding teams in Iowa were on the Wheeler's list of opponents. Such high ranking teams as: Atlan- tic, Manning, Willisca, Fertile, Glidden, and Harlan made it difficult to pile up an impressive record. John Abeltins, the big sophomore center, led in total points, percentage shoot- ing, and rebounding. John's total points for the season were 249 with an average of 13. 8 per game. His highest single output was 23 points against Exira. Ronnie Christensen was not to be outdone as he collected a single game record with a 34 point effort against a very strong Carroll team. 183 points with a 10.2 average per game was Ronnie's contribution for the year. Harlan again abruptly ended the Wheeler's season in the sectional tournament with a close 58 to 57 game. Harlan advanced to district play. 81 u ar6it Seam Scoreboard Audubon 50 30 Irwin Audubon 44 50 Audubon 47 48 Exira Audubon 53 48 Audubon 49 46 Perry Audubon 52 62 Audubon 46 27 Bayard Audubon 42 45 Audubon 43 33 Manilla Audubon 53 56 Audubon 48 45 Guthrie Audubon 72 48 Audubon 45 52 Coon Rapids Audubon 69 24 Audubon 50 27 Bayard Audubon 52 35 Audubon 56 51 Perry Audubon 41 45 Coon Rapids Gray Exira Exira Manilla Scranton Viola Bayard Coon Rapids QirL’ BaU BACK ROW: S.

Schley's Audubon High School girls' basketball squad experi- enced one of its finest seasons in recent years during the 1953-54 campaign, winning 12 games and losing 7. The Wheelerettes tied for the Coon Valley Con- ference championship with Coon Rapids. Balanced scoring was the keynote of the girls' offense as they outscored op- ponents 957-793. Shirley Petersen, post forward, was high scorer with 343 points and an 18. 1 game average, followed by Charlijo Crouse with 305 points and a 16. 1 average and Lois Murray with 224 points and an 11.8 average. Sue Williamson, Sharon Kallesen, and Jo Ann Jacobsen served as satisfactory alter- nates. Audubon's rangy guards had the best defensive record in the Coon Valley Conference and developed into one of the most outstanding groups in Southwest Iowa. The team had considerable depth with Marilyn Carlson, Marilyn Ander- sen, Carol Carlson, and Barbara Elsberry as alternate starters and Inger Lind- holm, Patty Shoesmith, and Ellen Jespersen as able and frequent replacements. Marilyn Carlson was elected honorary captain of the team. BACK ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: Coach Don Kristensen, A. Grabill, A. Albertsen, G. Wetzel, J. Mul- lenger, G. Bruun, V. Sorenson, T. Nelson, R.

The team scoring was led by Arnie Nelson, Dick Jensen, Darrell Nelson, and Robert Hansen. Co-Captains, Arnie Nelson and Dick Jensen were both unde- feated in dual competition. The high point of the season came in the district tournament when the team won second place and sent eight boys to the state tourney, a number bettered by only four schools in the state. Arnie Nelson gave Audubon its first State Wrestling Champion and seventh place. He performed the almost impossible feat of pinning three of his four state opponents. 84 ROLLIE BLACK CHARLES SORENSEN DARRELL NELSON 3rd Dist., 120 2nd Dist., 133 2nd Dist., 145 SCOREBOARD Audubon 18 Thomas Jefferson Audubon 19 Abraham Lincoln Audubon 18 Lincoln (Des Moines) Audubon 31 Greenfield Audubon 41 Greenfield Audubon 16 Carroll Audubon 23 Lincoln (Des Moines) Audubon 44 Corning Audubon 50 Corning Audubon 10 Abraham Lincoln Audubon 36 Thomas Jefferson 23 26 27 23 6 27 24 3 3 28 14 BOB HANSEN LEROY NASBY KARL HORN 2nd Dist., 95 2nd Dist., 154 1st Dist., 103 1st Dist., 165 1st State Co-Captain GERALD ANDREASEN RONNIE ROBINSON DICK JENSEN 1st Dist., Hwt.

Bringing 12 new relay trophies back to Audubon High School and setting records in almost every meet, this year's cindermen came through with a very successful season. The tracksters ran away with the Coon Valley Conference title for the third straight year, by piling up a total of 112 points, more than double the points of the runner-up team. The two-mile relay team; consisting of Paul Heuss, Leroy Nasby, Pete Larsen and Wayne Seime; started the year by winning the state indoor title and setting a new state record. The sprint medley also broke the state rec- ord, but placed second. The performances were followed by triumphs in many other meets. Other regular point getters included: Ron Christensen in the pole vault, Dick Jensen in the hurdles, Paul Heuss in the 440 yard dash, and Pete Larsen in the half mile. The team collected 62 1 2 points in the district and came home with 12 boys and 10 events qualifying for the state finals. At the state meet the two mile relay team, with the same boys that won the indoor meet, ran away with the state title. Bill Groteluschen and Bill Swanson teamed with Heuss and Seime to place second in the sprint med- ley relay. Audubon placed sixth in team points. Nine school records were topped by this year's team.

This year the squad consisted of only seventh and eighth grade players. The purpose of Jr-Hi football is to learn the fundamentals of football and to become better competitors. The future of the high school varsity football squad depends upon the success of Jr-Hi football. Good luck to the future football heroes.

Senior Ship 2) IjJ ezLJClU The Senior class elected Joyce Huff- man and Gary Williamson as their candi- dates for King and Queen of Skip Day which was held on April the 30th. In spite of the rain and bad weather, a majority of the seniors attended the seventh annual Skip Day at Storm Lake. The day's activities were really a suc- cess. In the morning, skippers were taken on tours through Buena Vista Col- lege. During the afternoon, skippers were entertained by a free show as well as skating and dancing at the Cobblestone Inn. The days activities were brought to a close by a dance at the Cobblestone Inn with Jimmy Dancing Shoes Palmer playing. A good time was had by all. 95 On a bright sunny day in the fall of 1941, we started our journey through school. Under the skillful guidance of Miss McBroom we soon learned to enjoy many new experiences. One of the most important events of the year was our train ride to Exira. First grade found us going to school all day and learning to read under the supervision of Miss Pigg. Time passed quickly and under the careful direction of Miss Hogan and Miss Reece we made it through second grade. Here DeEtte Sjob- lom joined our little group. With Miss Phillips' help we went from third grade to Mrs. Ruby's and Mrs. Myer's fourth grade rooms. By this time, Bill Groteluschen was a cute little blonde who won Mrs. Ruby over many times by properly timed tears. Hughie Hardie was full of mischief. Charles Manatt joined us at this time. He was a shy little country boy whom we thought years and experience would change. Mary Kuntzweiler was our storybook girl with lovely blonde braids and Ruth Heuss was our model student. Elizabeth Parrott was cute and very chatty both in and out of school. Miss Baker and Miss Hoffman were our fifth grade teachers. We were divided into two groups and enjoyed giving skits to each other. It was during this year that Kathleen Klinkefus joined the class. With Miss Schrader as our sixth grade teacher, we promoted aplay, Wilber's Experiment, which was a great success. Connis Blackman joined our group as one of the sixth grade students. During the two years we were in Junior High, we enjoyed many skating parties at the Roller Rink. We also had our own athletics and cheerleaders. We have not forgotten the time Faye Finnerty spilled a bottle of perfume on Don Detwiler and he had to interrupt Mr. Williamson and Penrod by leaving the room. Ronnie Christensen and Carlene David joined us as eighth grade students. We finished our grade school education with a very impressive graduation pro- gram including a class will and prophecy. With great anticipation, we entered the great doors of Audubon High School in the fall of 1950 as green freshmen. We were joined by a new group of future friends; our classmates from the fair cities and surrounding territories of Ham- lin, Fiscus, and Kimballton. Initiation time was drawing near and we were scared stiff. But, we survived and reached our sophomore year. By this time we were less shy and had learned the meaning of the tardy bell. This was the year we really cracked the books. We are still wondering if our teachers didn't get together to sign a contract whereby, We agree to give the sophomore students an assignment every night, to which one of our teachers added a P. S. , I personally agree to make my tests harder than in the past. Signed Mr. Kristensen. We started our junior year by presenting our class play, Seventeen is Ter- rific which was a huge success. The high light of this year, however, was the Jr. - Sr. Banquet and Prom. The theme was Southern Plantation and we are sure ev- eryone will agree we more than accomplished our goal. Our senior year has really been an eventful one for us. We had a lot of fun in presenting our class play, We Shook the Family Tree ; another success. During this year we have tried to do our best in everything. Before departing we would like to say good-bye to dear old A. H.
