In witness whereof, we have herewith subscribed our names and affixed our seal, this fifteen- th day of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and fifty- four. Senior Class L . M . Leeper Witness Compliments of Karl's Place I4 Closs Prophecy It is now the year of 1974, and we, the Junior Class of '54, have gathered to make a tour of the world. We are taking off from the main air-strip of Baxter Municipal Airport and are now on our way to New York. After landing in New York, we are all in favor of taking a stroll through the animal zoo. As we are gazing at the animals, we hear a familiar voice shouting, Popcorn, peanuts, erackerjacks! Who should it be but the well-known Richard Deutsch of our own home town. After listening to a few of his many troubles, such as how poor the sale of popcorn is, we then decided it is time to be on our way to London. We arrive in London a few hours later and while reading the London Gazette, we find that Sally Jo Stubbe is now taking care of Queen E1izabeth's money. She has gained this ability from working in the office at Baxter High, taking care of the lunch money. Next we travel to the great music city, Vienna. While at the opera, we discover one of our most-talented music students, Rosalie Holtsclaw. She is singing the leading bass part in the opera, Carmen . This is quite shocking to us after being accustomed to her soprano voice. Doing more touring of the world, we fly to India. While there, we visit the well- known Taj Mahal. Whom should we find but Reuben Kanne and his harem of nintey- nine beautiful wives: OTTO'S PRODUCE Eggs, Culling, Poultry-Live Or Dressed Ruhms Phosphate Rock I5 He insists on our staying tu warcn one ot his wives entertain. Naturally, we stay and find our to our astonishment, that it is Bonnie Jo Orr doing the fascinating Dance of the Seven Veils. From here, we make our course southwest and land in the heart of the African jungle. Here we find our schoolmate Fred McKibben serving as a missionary in a small village called P0n- Do- Kongo which is equivalent to Boystown, Nebraska. We all take this as quite a shock since we had always thought of Fred as being a ladies' man. As we move on, we fly to China. On this flight, we go up to the cockpit of the plane to look over the instruments. To our amazement we find Lloyd Ludlow piloting this huge six- motored plane. When we reach Japan, we hail a jim-ikigha to tour the city. We almost faint from shock to see another on the class of '54, Donnie Stubbe, pulling the rick- shaw . After our visit in Japan, we all board a slow boat to the United States. Upon our arrival at Los Angeles, we are thrilled to be met and entertained by the governor of Calif- ornia,Eugene Bucklin, a good friend of ours and another graduate of the Baxter C1355 of 1954. Governor Bucklin insists that we make a tour of his great state with him. On our tour through California, we visit the University of Southern California, where we meet Miss Louise Van Zante, who is now a professor Of physics in U.S.C No doubt her interest in this field had developed as a result of her physics courses at old Baxter High. After leaving the U,S,C, campus, we go to see one of the movie studios. We walk in just as the film for the TV show Dragnet is finished. Imagine our surprise at finding Duwane Miller now I6 taking the part of Joe Friday in the famed TV series. We now board a T, W. A. Constellation to head for the old home town of Baxter. But soon we decide to add a little fun to the trip and we stop at the ambl' t f g ing own o Las Vegas. We go to a night club, and whom should we find here but Gail Harsha, The Gambling King of Las Vegas 7 After anight at Las Vegas, we all rise early in the morning and go out to the road to hitch- hike our way back ffor reasons we do not care to discussj. Back in Baxter, we go to the State savings Band lo check our bank accounts with the assist- ance ofthe top teller, Max Stephens, who has worked his way up from the job of janitor in the bank in his high school days. We are glad to see that all of the Seniors of '54 have been successful, and we wish them continued inappincss. Senior History lt was the beginning of September, 1941, a calm, peaceful, autumnal day, radiant with sunshine of hope,cheer and joyous promise, a new year. It was the same old ship that had carried many passengers to safe harbor in the Land of Great Wisdon, but this day was a gala day in its history, and many people gazed upon it in wonder as they watched the little boys and girls as they so happily stepped aboard, for it was rumored that they were about to set sail over new and untried waters in a quest for the Fountain of Perfect Understanding. Compliments of George Geise l7 While cruising through the Islands of Smaller Learning, we lost the ship's log in which was written our younger experience. We were intrusted the important task of writing the log that would be the most important of our lives ---- -our last four years of the voyage. We had scarcely finished the task of placing our signatures upon the ship's register, when eight new companions from the dis- tance took passage with us. They were Eugene Bucklin, Darlene Gaumer, Reuben Kamme, Lloyd Ludlow, Billy Eddy, Bonnie Jo Orr, Wesley Fuller, and Darla Mae Herold, who began their Freshman voyage with us. So it was with very hopeful hearts and smiling faces that we bade our parents and friends good-bye and waved OUT handkerchiefs from the deck at those left behind in the grammar grades as we embarked for a four- years' absence on our Voyage of High School Life. In the Freshman year, there were twenty-one greenies to start our last four years of the voyage. Our duties on board were algebra, general science, English, home ec. and manual training. Our stewardess was Mrs. J. R. Dusheck. Soon we were initiated into full- fledged passengers of the ship. Some of our voyages were to the Iowa Packing Plant, Des Moines Municipal Airport, and to the Drake Observatory. For entertainment on board the ship, the play Grandmother Nick , was presented. Darla Herold, one of the shipmates, was transferred to another ship and Wesley Fuller, another ship- mate, joined up with a battleship. Now that we are beginning our Sophomore year, we are more mature and ready to settle down to study. Not much happened this year on board. We had some new duties which were world history, English, geometry and typing. We also had a new stewardess who was Mrs. D, Woods. Two one- act plays were presented this year which were Round- up of Minnie , and Laugh in the Dark . At sea, we lost Larry Schmidt, and Billy Eddy. We gained a new shipmate, Frank Christy. In the beginning of this voyage, we lost four more shipmates, Carolyn Bollhoefer, Darlene Gaumer, Frank Christy and Mary Dixon and gained Anna Mae Rose, who was transferred to a differ- ent ship soon. On our third voyage in the Junior year, we landed on the Hawaiian Islands and found a new stewardess, Mrs. J. Mclvieekin. She helped us plan the banquet in honor of the l953Seniors. This was held at the Tallcorn Hotel in Marshalltown. This year, we presented our first three- act play, Professor How Could You? Our new duties were American history, American English, biology, and home ec. and manual training. Gene Lane was transferred to another ship this year. On our last voyage home in our Senior year, we had a new captain, Mr. L. M. Leeper. Our duties this year were Algebra Il, bookkeeping, office practice, American government, physics, and English literature. On our way to the end, we lost one of our shipmates, Johnny Johnston. just before the end of the voyage, we presented our last play, Murder Before Breakfast . We are looking forward to the Junior- Senior Banquet which will be held in our honor. It has been a most wonderful voyage and we have accumulated many souvenirs from every port. We will never forget our class plays, banquets,music contests, basketball and foot- ball games. I8 f Y -........L.. , .- T , ' 5g 'k..wL n num j- ,fr 'il M1946 11 . X, 6 .hbyf ,ggi . vu .

At the half- time of the game, the marching band put on a demonstration while waiting for the queen and her attendants who were escorted onto the field in Howard Pyle's convertible. While the band formed a heart, the co-captain, Tommy Johnson crowned Bonnie Jo Orr as the Homecoming Queen. Then she and her attendants, Sally Jo Stubbe, Joan Schmidt, Mae Gauch, and Margaret Allen, took their places on the platform to preside over the rest of the game. After the game, a dance was held in the gymnasium which was decorated with both Baxter and St. Mary's colors. Don Mackerman's orchestra furnished the music. Jokie Stubbe General Trucking 8.

Kielly Girls' Basketball An improved Baxter squad battled its way through a tough schedule which included such power- houses as Prairie City, Newburg, Rhodes and Melbourne. Never once were our girls beaten by more than ten or fifteen points. The girls had four wins and eleven losses. Striving for that perfection which is vital for successful athletic teams, the Baxter girls are already preparing for the coming season.
