Without you, our opportunities for schooling would have been little. We appreciate all you have done towards making our high school education complete. BOARD OF EDUCATION Bagley, Iowa George Irwin, President Helen Cornish Frances Holmes Myrle Hidlebaugh Carl Anderson Secretary-Mrs. Orlo Kosht Treasurer-Orlo Kosht 4 THE BLUE AND WHITE STAFF We, the Senior Class, take great pleasure in pre- senting this 1949 edition of THE BLUE AND WHITE. Some of the improvements over last year's annual are the funny page, the additional picture pages, and the individual pic- tures of the undergraduates. Expenses for the annual were paid by subscriptions and advertising. The staff greatly appreciates the cooperation which has been received from the student body, faculty, advertisers, and all others who have made this year's edition of THE BLUE AND WHITE a marked success. 5 1948 -1949 SCHOOL YEAR School opened on Monday,.August 30, 1948. The high school enrollment totaled 55 students, with approximately 140 grade pupils. Membership on the faculty increased to 13 instructors this year. In addition to the regular academic curricula, the special program is being enlarged. Shorthand, and a complete course in bookkeeping is offered by the Commercial Department. The Music Department is directed by a full time instrument- al instructor, The various departments have been supplied with new equip- ment, especially the Home Economics Department. Junior High athletics is guided by capable personnel and this relieves the high school athletic director from some extra duties. Both the boys and girls in high school athletics have proven that more attention has paid dividends. Transportation facilities have been much improved over the past years. The two new forty -two passenger school buses have been obtained. This makes our transportation facilities one ofthe best in the state. The faculty this year may be considered one of the most cap- able of the past few years. The Board of Education's endeavors have proved worthwhile, Last, but not least, the student body is to be complimented. As a group their interest is keen, with a cooperative and progressive spirit. The Alumni Association can welcome the members of the Senior Class of '49 into their ranks as a worthy group of young people A Af Af Superintendent 6 fX .va N -Q .--IF A. MRS.

Miss Plumb was the first teacher to Betta Kraft, Margaret McCall, Eleanore Porter, Frank Prescott, Robert Ellis, Janet Safely and Robert Carrick. That first year went by plenty fast and by the first day of the second year of school we were ready and willing to plunge into education. We lost Betta Kraft that year but Mary Ann Rice and Lois Belding joined Miss Plumb's tribe. Our number was increased to eleven in the third grade by the enrollment of three new members: Jay Allen, Dolores Barker and Beverly Smouse. Miss Allen was our teacher in the third and fourth grade. Mary Ann Rice was detained in the third grade because of illness and Dolores Barker and Janet Safely moved away, They were replaced by Phillip Covi, Jackie Kelly and Earl Myers. ' Miss Jensen herded ten of us through the fifth grade. We traded about even that year by losing Jay, Jackie and Bob Ellis, but Jane Radebaugh and Clark Pierce joined the merry tribe. Miss Blackburn was our teacher in the sixth grade. Margaret McCall, Clark Pierce and Lois Belding left us in this year. We started the seventh grade with twenth students. Jim Anderson, Gordon Behrens, Phyllis Cornelius, Lois Duncan, Eddie McCartney, Rayfield Moses, Donald Myers, Leon Pierce, Ralph and Robert Middleton were added to our class with Mrs. Dale teaching, but during the course of the year Beverly, Jim, Phillip and Gordon moved. We entered the eighth grade with Miss Stafford as our teacher and minus two more classmates. They were Gere Dale and Rayfield Moses. Duane Maddux joined our group in this year. Jim Anderson, Gordon Bilbrey, Phyllis Cornelius, Lois Duncan, Kenneth Hoyt, Duane Maddux, Ramona Marchant, Eddie McCartney, Donald Myers, George Mobley, Dee Naylor, Jeanne Jackson, Leon Pierce, Eleanore Porter, Frank Prescott, Jane Radebaugh, Dean Thaler, Robert Hibnes and Robert Carrick started the ninth grade of school together as twenty very frightened and green Freshmen. This was the year of the largest enrollment of the Class of 1949. We started the second year of high school without Duane, Gordon, Dee, and Leon, thus leaving sixteen pupils to start the Junior year. We can truthfully say that we had a lot of fun our Junior year. We went to the banquet, had our class play, and began feeling like Seniors even though we weren't--yet. This was also the year that Donna Swarm left Perry and joined our class. We finally came to the last year of our high school career with Sally Dresback as the only new member of our class. Eleanore Porter and Bob Carrick are the only ones who went through all twelve grades with the Class of '49 at Bagley High. 12. CLASS POEM To help remember the days soon past, We'll tell you the things that will always last In our memories--though time does fly, We'l1 think and remember Bagley High. We'd like to present our class to you, There's a tried and true saying, There's power The few of us whom here we show Are the best--we're convinced--so here we go. Down the alphabet we go, So with .Tim Anderson, we'l1 start to blow. We should talk about blowing--he's the one Who talks from dawn till set of sun. Robert Carrick's the next--we envy him. He's got a combination of brains, vigor, and vim. Some people are always ready for fun, Just mention a gang and Sal Dresback will run. For a gal who works in the local store, And still is full of fun galore-- Don't look any farther, for she's right here, Lois Duncan's the one and that's quite clear. Jeanne comes to school almost every day, But her heart is still far, far away. Then comes George--he's plain to see, His hair's enough--do you agree? I-Ie's tiny we know, but oh so mighty, When Eddie looks at a girl he gets so flighty, I-le's been our proxy, so tried and true, You can tell just by looking that he's true blue. You can spot the next one a mile away, With her head of red, it's easy to say. Eleanore plays basketball just like a whiz, And George agrees--she's the best there is. J'anie's our wee-one - -she's a dead shot, She plays that bucket game with all that she's Donna too puts her soul in the fight, She cheers and yells with all of her might. Last, but not least, Dean Tha1er's the boy, Who breezed through school--it was a joy, The office he kept and errand boy was he, He really did work--at least at those three. This is the end of the '49 Class. We've tried to describe each laddie and lass, We're not so bad--will the teachers agree? ? ? Look at our good side--maybe you'11 see. 13 in few got, Chicago, Illinois August 15, 1954 Dear Donna, I was certainly surprised to hear that you were in the Marines. How does it feel to be the only woman dentist in the Marine Corps? Can you really tell how rich a man is by looking at the gold in his mouth? I am working at the American Airlines in Chicago. Last week was my vacation, so I went back to old Bagley. The town seems pretty dead without our good old class around. Our classmates certainly are scattered. You remember Robert Carrick, don't you? Well, he is filling his am- bition by going to engineering school in Ames, Iowa. Maybe you already know of his engagement to Lurene Noland. I was rather surprised to hear it, but you know you can expect anything nowdays. I don't know whether you knew it or not that Eleanore Porter and George Mobley were married right after school was out in 49 . They are living on a farm north of Bagley. You remember George with that butch haircut, well, their little boy has one and he looks just like George did. I'1l never forget how gabby Jim Anderson was in school. Well, he's really found his fit profession. He's substitute for the Silent Man in the shadow pictures in the movies. First time I've heard him quiet. Lois Duncan is in the clouds. After finishing nurses training she be- came a stewardess for Pan American Airlines and makes weekly trips between Rio De Janeiro and Miami. You've seen George McCartney, the automobile magnet's picture in Time Magazine, haven't you? Who would ever have thought that Little Eddie would turn out to be such a big man in the Fisher Body Company? Dean Thaler always did like to go after the mail every morning. He's still after the mail--he works as mail carrier in Los Angeles. I-Ie's still a bachelor--surprising, isn't it? Jeanne Jackson surprised me last fall by stopping to see me while in Chicago. She was on the way to New York to join her husband, who is in college there. I have to go back to work now. My job is interesting but I always en- joy hearing from the Bagleyites . Write me when you can. Oh, I almost forgotf Jane Radebaugh is the woman wonder in the fashion world. She designs the petite styles for Adrian in Hollywood. We knew she'd wow them. As always, ' 'Sal Dresback 14 A CLASS WILL Jim Anderson, leaves his car to anyone who will take it. Dean Thaler, leaves his love.

Z0 ELEMENTAR Y DEPAR TMENT 'Tis education forms the common mind, Just as the twig is bent, the tree's inclined. -Pope Kindergarten The kindergarten enrollment has been small this year, but outstanding in en- thusiasm, achievement, and real growth. There is never a dull moment with such a full program to maintain. Much time is devoted to further development of the senses, as well as the physical and mental advancement of the whole child. Stress has been placed on reading readiness, language, numbers concept, music, art, and science. Time has been provided for personality development, free activity, self expression, and a chance to use and manipulate many materials. Kindergarten is fun, but fun with a purpose. First and Second Grades Twenty -three happy and eager children entered the first and second grades, eighteen members in the first grade and five in the second. Although we had to be introduced to phonics, penmanship, and spelling, they are now our very good friends. Our Indian unit will long live in our memories. What fun it was to play in the wigwam, wear Indian headbands, and dance the Indian War Dance. We played in the rhythm band which made its debut at the grade operetta. Third and Fourth Grades School opened in September with Mrs. Brady as teacher to welcome seventeen pupils in the third grade and seven in the fourth. David and Donna Johns moved, Peggy Remele went to Florida for the winter, but Shirley Shineflew joined the fourth grade in February. I Besides our school work we were in the rhythm band and in the operetta. Fifth and Sixth Grades At the beginning of the year Mrs. Hall was the teacher for the fifth and sixth grades. We had an enrollment of 43. Soon another pupil came into the sixth grade making 44. In a short time Miss McCormick was obtained to teach the fifth grade. We then had 27 in the sixth grade and 17 in the fifth. We have learned the various parts of speech in English, worked on fractions in Arithmetic, learned of History and Geography and in general just learned . We, too, were represented in the grade operetta--some of the cast were chosen from our grades, Seventh and Eighth Grades Mr. Hal1's room at the beginning of the year had a total enrollment of 32. Dur- ing the course of the year we lost two pupils and gained one, bringing the final count to 13 in the seventh grade and 18 in the eighth. We have delved a little deeper into sub- jects than we have done before. We have learned more interesting things inArithmetic, Geography, History, English and Civics. The seventh and eighth grade too, was mighty interested in athletics--both girls and boys participated in Junior High basketball teams. 21 FRONT ROW: Jane Chaloupka, Sharon Westre, Judy Badger.

The hot lunch room is now located in the room formerly occupied by the Manual Arts Department. This has eliminated a lot of inconvenience since the time it was located in the home economics room. The ladies responsible for our speedy and efficient hot lunch program at the present are Mrs. O'l..ena and Mrs. Hatfield. The department has been recommended by the state for their fine variety in menus. Between 135 and 140 pupils are served each day. 26 l JUNIOR PLAY CAST PR OJECTOR CLUB SENIOR PLAY CAST NEWS STAFF THE SENIOR CLASS PLAY On April 8, 1949, the long awaited day arrived at last.

The grades prepare and present a very nice pro- gram in honor of the patrons of the school and for the king and queen. B's were given to those who participated in the various sports and to pupils maintaing a 'B' average in their studies. George Mobley and Eleanore Porter were chosen the king and queen. THE SCHOOL CARNIVAL October 29, 1948 was the date set for the annual school carni- val at Bagley High School. For several weeks prior to the date students worked at their project for the big event. The Seniors solicited for pies and cakes from the community and on the day of the carnival they went out to gather them. The Speech Class presented a skit, there was a bingo stand, a cake walk, and wrestling matches and various concessions. The Home Economics Class supervised the food stand, Fall Inn , for those who enjoyed eating. The success of the carnival was due to the cooperation of the community--for which we express our thanks. SKIP DAY It has been the custom in the past that each year the Seniors have a day called Skip Day . This is one day of freedom from B.H.S It is enjoyed by all, each one goes where he pleases and does as he pleases. It is another day to be remembered forever by the Seniors. This year the Seniors kept it a secret up until the day it happened, 30 THE SCHOOL BAND Work was started on a school band the first week of school. Three in- strumental students, Lurene Noland, Forrest Frownfelter, and Rhoda Frownfelter formed the nucleus. They played trombone, clarinet and flute respectively. More instruments were purchased from week to week and on approximately the first of December all the instrumentalists assembled for the first band practice. Some strange sounds echoed down the halls, but no one gave up. On December twenty-second, thirty-six young musicians made their first appearance at the grade operetta. Since then they have played at the basketball games here at home The last scheduled appearance was the spring concert, held in April. GRADE OPERETTA Came the holiday season-tinsel, evergreen, gifts, Santa Claus, and the The Christmas Bazaar . The stage was a riot of color as it was depicting a bazaar scene. Booths filled with food, gifts, and dolls--the latter containing the doll which caused the mystery of the story. The cast was very well chosen for their parts. The music was simple, but pleasant to hear. The costumes of the chorus were colorful, and the com- plete show made a very enjoyable hour's entertainment.
