The board functions through com- mittees, including the building and grounds, purchasing-, board policies, and transportation com- mittees. The school board's main project this year has been the new addition to the high school. The new addition includes an industrial •arts room, a band room, and locker rooms. This new addition will pro- vide for an increase in the school's curriculum. Other projects include a site for an athletic field and pro- spective high school. The school board influences every phase of our school life. The students appreciate the generosity of these citizens who give of their time for the school's welfare. 10 TO THE CLASS OF '55 The Future of this great nation of ours is in the hands of the youth of today. I am sure that we old- sters need not look to this future with anxiety if you young people will contribute as much to the American society as you have contributed to the Audubon High School in the past four years. Keep up the good work. H. H. Rice, Supt. THE ADMINISTRATION TO THE '55 WHEELER STAFF Here's to the success of the Wheeler Staff of 1955 and the stu- dent body of Audubon High School. Success has been more than a wish to the Wheeler Staff of '55. They progressed from one assign- ment to another with the finesse of veterans. The satisfaction of a job well done will truly be theirs when- ever they view this edition. Their sponsor, Mrs. Esther Haner, will always cherish the spirit of coopera- tion exemplified by this staff. I am certain that their efforts in these duties will serve them well in their future vocations and community endeavor. T. L. Frese, Principal MARGARET J. AKERS, B. A.

OFFICERS The Senior officers who helped to make 1953 a successful year were: Darwin Jensen, treasurer; Carol Carlson, secretary; Marilyn Andersen, vice-president; and Darrald Shoesmith, president. The group sponsors were Mrs. Haner and Mr. Drake. The class has been outstanding in music, speech, and athletics. They are also proud of their class plays and their first, the all-night prom of '54. The four years of their high school career have been memorable ones. Best of luck to the classes who follow. SENIORS The seniors are leaving A. H. S., but they will never be forgotten.

There are nearly 400, 000 F. F. A. members in the United States and over 10, 000 in Iowa. The Audubon Chapter had sixty-six active members in 1954-55. The Audubon Chapter won seven gold awards in the 1955 State F. F. A. Contest or three more than any other chapter. The chapter also won a gold award in the national program of work contest during this year. Cooperative Activities Community Service Recreation The boys enjoyed doing the ambitious Program of Work that they carried out this last year. They received twenty- seven requests from F. F. A. chapters in Iowa and eight other states for information on how to do various jobs. The pictures on this page illustrate but a few of the activities of their chapter. They have enjoyed working together and hope to be just as successful in their farming op- erations and personal life in the years to come. Leadership Leadership Citizenship 55 National Honor Society In accordance with rules of the National Honor Society, the Audubon chapter is composed of sophomores, juniors, and seniors who maintain an above average grade level. Each mem- ber must also be recommended by the faculty. Service, scholarship, character, and leadership are the basis for the recommendation. This year the organization institut- ed the Exira club, installed its officers, and initiated its members. This was the third year that the Audubon school had had a chapter of the National Honor Society. The club's sponsor was Mr. Frese and the officers for this past year were: Barbara Hansen, president; Gary Christensen, vice- president; and Carolyn Eddy, secretary- treasurer. The main activity of the National Honor Society was sponsoring the school paper. It also had some other worth- while projects.

On January 6th the Christmas sea- son was brought to a close by the burning of the Christmas trees at the Twelfth Night Ceremonies. P.TJ. Carnival The 1955 P.T.A. Carnival was a big success again this year as the students of A, H. S. joined in the celebration in a festive mood. The students crowded around the gaily decorated booths and the confetti flew as the crowd thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Later in the evening many of the people crowded the acti- vity room for the one act plays and the wrestling matches. The carnival was brought to a close with the cornation of Queen Rosalie Williams, junior and King Don Armentrout, freshman. Their attendants were: Lee Jordan, Judy Christensen, Sandra Shoesmith, Richard Lewer, Alvin Albertsen, and Charles Oakley. 70 Jr.-Sr. Banquet The juniors followed the tradi- tion of an all-night prom this year. The evening started with a banquet presented to the seniors in a beau- tiful Hawaiian setting. Music for dancing in the Hawaiian Paradise was furnished by Keith Killinger's band. The prom was followed by a movie, bowling, more dancing, skating, and a breakfast at 6:00 A. M. held for the surviving sleepyheads. The election of a Prom King and Queen was a new feature this year. Elect- ed were senior Paul Heuss, King and junior Joann Jacobsen, Queen. Art Class The Art class is one of the newest or- ganizations in A. H. S. It was organized dur- ing the 1954-55 school year by art instructor, James Christen.

Place completed a very busy 1954-1955 season. Every morning from September 1 to October 21 the band drilled tirelessly. The efforts put forth by the band were very worthwhile, as was impressively demonstrated by the shows put on during the half-times at the home football games. During the fall, the band also took part in the Firemen's Parade in Atlantic, the Audubon County Sunday School Parade, the parade at the Audubon County Fair, the homecoming festivities, and the State Marching Band Contest. In addition to the busy fall season, the band marched at the Veisha cele- bration at Iowa State College in Ames, in the spring of 1955. The band had a very successful season and everyone is looking forward to seeing them again next year. A very impressive maneuver demonstrated by the Marching Band at contest and at a football game was the music lyre pictured at the right. Pictured at the right is the Audubon High School Dance Band.

With only three lettermen returning from the '54 squad, the young Wheel- ers combined hard work and tough competition into a successful season. Although they lost seven meets and won six, they were never beaten by a school of their own size. As the season drew to a close, the squad entered district competition at Council Bluffs and placed third in that meet. Karl Horn, Alvin Albertsen, Alvin Grabill, and Dave Hansen survived district competition and advanced to the state tournament at Cedar Falls. Co-captains Alvin Grabill, 95 pounder, and Karl Horn, 112 pounder, had the best individual records. Karl scored 13 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw while Alvin made a 12 win-3 loss-2 draw record. 94 Coach Kristensen Hansen Albertsen Christensen Mendenhall Grabill Grabill Shoesmith Davitt Armentrout The 1955 track season was a suc- cess with the Wheelers picking up 80 1 2 points in the conference meet, plac- ing second by a scant one point. The medley team of Paul Heuss, Carroll Scott, Dick Lewer, and Dan Jensen, with Wayne Seime anchoring, set many relay records around the state in the larger meets. They placed second in both the state indoor meet and the state outdoor meet. In the state finals at Ames, Wayne Seime placed second in the mile. Mullenger Haner Ehlert Davitt Hardie Burkhardt Jorgensen Gleason Coach Kristensen Grabill Under the direction of Coach Kristen- sen, the Wheelers' baseball squad, which consisted largely of underclassmen, ex- perienced another successful season. The Wheelers' record for the season included five wins and four losses. The team won second in both the district tournament and the Coon Valley Con- ference tournament. Southpaw Carrol Scott led the team with ninety-two strikeouts for the sea- son and Ed Burkhardt led the team in hitting with a .42 8 average. Jensen BACK ROW: Coach Sherlock, J. Jorgensen, D.

There will be many vacant positions to be filled by the young Wheelers. Those with an early start in athletics have a decided advantage over the later beginners. The suc- cess of the varsity squads depends upon the success of the junior high sports. ■HE JR.-III.

Most of the seniors attended. Darwin Jensen and Ellen Carlson were elected by the class as Audubon's candidates for king and queen. In the morning the group toured Buena Vista College and a meat-packing plant. In the afternoon there was a free movie and free skating. Some of the group just enjoyed a peaceful afternoon- sunbathing session. The final item on the program was the dance at the Cobblestone Inn. Eddie Allen provided the music. Afterwards everyone donned their skipper hats and headed homeward. The day was a success; everyone had had a grand time.

First, I, on behalf of the Wheeler staff of 1955, would like to extend a hearty thank you: to Mr. Don Jensen for the excellent photographs contained herein; then to Mrs. Haner for her tireless efforts and for doing most of our worrying for us; to the business- men of Audubon who backed us with ads to make a successful Wheeler pos- sible; to Mr. Gene Bell, Myers Yearbook representative. We owe a lot to Mr. Bell. He was a friend, a comforter, and a capable advisor; finally to you, the student body of A. H. S. Your actions are those which compose these pages and the events you participated and excelled in are those which we have recorded. You have the right to hold your heads high and be proud for you are the Wheeler of 1955. As the Wheel of Time rolls on may you look back at this Wheeler as containing some of the happiest moments, days, and years of your entire life time. Editor Karl Horn YEARBOOKS ■ The picture inside the front cover is the beginning of the new addition as it looked last fall. This picture is of the finished project. It is the end of a successful school year and a fitting end to a successful annual.
