About March, 1919, the Bondurant Independent School District met and voted to consolidate. .Plans for a new building were made and the building was started in 1920 but was not completed until March 24, 1921. Soon after this was moving day. A holiday was declared and a grand celebration was held. Everyone was proud and happy about the new building. , Alvin Albers was the first superintendent in the new building: Mrs. Alice Biddle Miller the first principal. I The members of the school board who 'labored so diligently during the erection of this building were: Charles I. Iohnson-President . Nelson Gormley B. F. Rothrock Percy Tufts George Anderson Wilbur Dunkle-Secretary , Mr. George Anderson and Mr. Wilbur Dunkle are the only living members of the original school board. Since the new .building was built, many things have been changed. The old school bam with its horse stalls has been turned over to the county as a workshop. i Now they are building an addition to the new garage. It will make room for two more buses and a furnace on the north end of the building, a new shop for manual training on the south end of the garage. Much new equipment is expected to be bought for this shop along with the old equipment that is left from years back. Another improvement that is expected by next year is flood lights for the football fieldp a topic that has been under consideration for many years. It is expected to go up during the summer. We also expect to have a new and larger gymnasium within the next year or two. This building will be located just south of the main building and is expected to have a large balcony and classrooms above it. ....14... qifzls Qlee BACK: Mclntosh, Leeper, Mrs. Miller, DeMoss, Flannery, Francis FRONT: Cooley, Winetta, Fredericks, Bridge, Clark. The Glee Club turn out wasn't as big this year is it has been in previous years, however, We have worked hard and are preparing numbers for entry in the state preliminary contest. We are also preparing numbers for Bacculaur- eate and Commencement. Ecstasy, by Coudell, Goin Home. by Dvorak, Old Refrain, by Kreisher, and Faith, Hope, and Love, by Shelley, are the numbers. They are accompanied by Florence Bridge. Mrs. Miller is the in- structor. ' ' ' There have been numerous selections entered in the contest.

When Mrs. Hall left the faculty, Mrs. Alice Miller was the director. After a few local appearances the HAPPY HARMONIZERS seemed to please the community, so they decided to prepare a couple numbers for the contest. The first contest was held at Colfax in April of 1945. ln this contest they won a superior rating, which entitled them to sing in the state contest at Mason City in May. In thiscontest they also won a superior rating. The HAPPY HARMONIERS have sung for many meetings and organiza- tions before many people. Their pianist is Shirley Brown. They have sung for Polk Co. Farm Bureau, Polk Co. Federation, Polk Co. School Board Banquet, several alumni banquets, class plays, PTA programs, and several stage shows in Des Moines. These are a few of their many appearances. -16.- 7ooffvaff gquad -FOOTBALL Twenty-two boys reported for footbal practice at the first of the season.

Norma Miller scored 208 points to take scoring honors for the year Four of the players are seniors: and, although they will be missed the prospects for next year are very good. -19- 'lzw fs QW There are approximately eleven boys that reported for basketball and did not make the traveling squad but this did not stop their enthusiasm or mark the end of their playing for they formed a squad of their own under the direction of Coach Bowen, and have quite a few interesting and helpful games among themselves. These boyswill be the future teams of Bondurant High and there are several of the boys that look very promising. The B Squad's practice is limited to one or two days a week but these days are put to very good use in helping the boys learn the fundamentals of basketball. ,The following boys make up the B Squad. Roy Bishop, Dean Barrett, Bob Tufts, Dean Percy, Rex Ridnour, George Young, Carl Silver, Freddie Tomlinson, Bob Spooner, lack Dougherty, Lee Stoll, and David Paine Manager. -20- P 'N ,21- 1 facades S and 6 W BACK ROW: Downs.

Miss Perrine, our teacher, helped us through the first two years of school by teaching us the A. B. C.'s and how to read and write. During the first grade we lost Maribelle Scott, Norma Miller, Robert Miller, Howard McIntosh, Iames Carney, and Dale Purcy, and we gained Robert Kooyman. Second grade was coming up and upon coming back in September we found that Dick Stewart was soon to leave us. We welcomed in Billy Blagg to our group. The class was growing and we were increasing our knowledge by learning to add and subtract. As we came back to school to start our third grade we found Ioe Hart, Eliza Meckley, and Robert Kooyman, all familiar faces no longer present. Dick Stewart decided he liked Bondurant much better and he came back after at- tending a year in Des Moines. Roy Stoll and Lloyd Van Zuuck were also gathered in. This year was punctuated by our learning the multiplication tables. , As we entered Miss Scott's room for our fourth grade we individually were going to try to make a success of our school career. Lloyd Van Zuuck didn't come back, and we made up the loss by gaining Kenneth Bailey, Iohn Lingen- felter, Ruth Lindsey, and Charles Campbell. Fifth grade found us cheerful as ever and ready to start a year of hard work. Charles Campbell and Hugh Iamieson was not here to start the year, but Harold Morrow and Mary Spooner took there places. We were glad to have Norma and Bob Miller with us' again as we had started in school to- gether. This year found us hard at work on fractions. What did the sixth grade hold in store for us? We were all set to find out as we came back in September. We broke even as Kenneth Bailey and Mary Sponer left us and we gained Charlene Brandt and Raymond Petefish. This was the year when we heard sweet music coming from the music room. Of course, you can remember the accordions which were numerous around school at this time. As we started in on our seventh grade, we had climbed the half way mark on the ladder of school. We failed to see Billy Blagg among us, but we found lrven Doss coming into our class. Basketball was the main sport and the Iunior high boys and girls teams played several games. .25- Upon entering the eighth grade, we found we had a room to ourselves cmd a good teacher, Mr. Leeper. We missed Ruth Lindsey, but we welcomed in Pauline Frederick and Keith Silver, who have remained with us through high school. 4 On September, 1942, twenty-two entered our last lap of school. We were known as the Green Freshman. We didn't see Charlene Brandt and lrven Doss with us, but Leola Curry, August Deever, Bob Harridge, Bob Ugulini, Hugh Iamieson, and Margaret Podnar joined us. Initiation, of course, made us full pledge members of the high school. During the day we went barefoot and wore white flannel night-gowns. In the evening, they put us through a test to see if we were ready to be in high school. Sophomore year was in the making as we came back the following September.-We found that our class had lost quite a few, Leola Curry, August Deever, Bob Harridge, and Margaret Podnar. We gained only one that year, Kenneth Carpenter. Entering the junior year found us ready to go. We found that Raymond Petefish had left us to finish at East, and Iohn Lingenfelter soon followed to enter the same schoool. We called in Betty Bishop, Kay De'Moss, Ruth Smith, Shirley Williams, and lack Griggs. This was the year of the Iunior Class Play which was a success in every way, The Iunior-Senior Banquet and the dec- orating for Commencement finished up the year. In September, 1945, we entered our senior year. Paul Biddle joined our class and Shirley Williams left. Our goal was to make the most of our last year. To start the ball rolling we initiated the freshman as is customary in the past. During the day we dressed them to portray different characters. The evening found us putting them through the usual routine. As football proceeded, we picked the last game as our homecoming game. With quiz programs, games and refreshments following in the evening for the high school and the alumni. We are now hard at work on the annual which we hope everyone will enjoy. This is the second edition of the Blue lay , the first being published in 1931. As we look forward to our Class Play, Iunior-Senior Banquet, Skip Day, and Commencement, we wonder what the world will have stored up for us. By our own efforts we hope to rise. Glass will - We the class oi '46, of Bondurant High School, being sound of mind' and memory, do hereby declare this to be our last Will and Testament in manner and form following:- Dick Stewart bequeaths his many talents to anyone who thinks he is capable ot handling them.

Pauline Frederick leaves her ability to say the right thing at the wrong time to Alice Hall. The wizard of witty sayings and snappy back talk, Alfred Keitzke bestows his stale jokes to one who is very willing to except them, Mr. Plopper. As a class we leave our extra-ordinary intelligence to anyone who needs it. namely the Sophomores and Freshmen. We bequeath to our beloved faculty all of the amazing knowledge and startling information that we have furnished them from time to time on our examination papers. lf they see fit they are hereby authorized to give out such of this information to the world as they feel the world is ready to receive.

We have gathered in the Pacific Ocean to witness the experiment of the Atomic Bomb by Professor Kenneth Carpenter who wants to find out for him- self, all the particulars. Who do we find as captain of the rugged, old, battle- ship, The'Iowa ? None other than Richard Heilin. Sitting at the mike adver- tising his Special Kietzke Liniment, , good for tooth ache, ear ache, head ache, back ache, foot ache, flu, measles and rhumatism, free for only a trial-e Guaranteed to kill or cure, we find Alfred Kietzke, ready to announce to the world the findings of this experiment. Cruising along side we see The Spellbound , the yacht of Madame Smith lornieson,tformally known as Ruth Smith, her husband Hugh, and all the little lamiesons. Her maid, the meek Barbara Bonnewell, is arranging the lounge for her mistress while Hugh finishes scrubbing the deck. On the luxury liner, The Lone Tree , are passengers from Bondurant. As we look around we see Pauline Fredrick selling Popcorn, Peanuts, Cracker- iqcks, Chewing gum and Fans only Sc a nickle. Next we see none other than the Miss Margaret theftyj Tufts and Miss Rita Ann tshiftyl Flannery, ready to begin their wrestling bout. On down the line, coming through the throng, we meet that expert on figures t?J Paul Biddle of Bondurant, Iowa and his lovely wife, the model and actress, the former Kay De Moss. ...2Q.. A What's the noise we hear??? Its an autogirol Who can that be? As they land and board the liner, we welcome our old pals, Roy Stoll, the pilot, and Kieth Silver, his co-pilot, manufacturers of Bubble Bath and Bubble gum. We hear something elsell Tschaikowsky ll, better know to us as Iarnes Clark, and his orchestra playing while his crooner Harold Murrow is giving out with She'll Be Comin' 'round the Mountain. Who is that sinister looking figure standing by the refreshments stand? Look!! He's trying to steal a -sugar bowlll lt's lack tSqueakyl Griggs, that king of the underworld! And that girl with him is his gun moll, Norma Miller. She really packs a mean pistol. - That little man in the white coat looks very familiar. Why its Bob Miller! He's a trustee in a nut factory. The guards let him loose for the special oc- casion. Pauline sees him!! She leaves her popcorn and runs to him with outstreched arms. V ' ' We see Betty Bishop wandering through the crowd. She has left her vigil at Boys Town where she has waited three years with her two bear traps and three nets ready to catch any boys that might happen out. On the other side of us. we see Bob Ugulini and his freighter pulling up. He's on his way to the South Seas to gather up discarded jeep wheels for his Bondurant factory, where he uses them in various ways. We see Bob Bane with his monkey wrenches, wrecking bars, skrew driversg etc., ready to help. The handsome, dashing, Dick Stewart, who is still dashing, is just going along in search of pretty girls. What's this We see??? Barbara Bonnewell is fleeing from her torture chamber, The Spellboundu to elope with Uke on the Wreck And Bring 'em Back freighter.

After dinner we were marched up town. In the evening we were blindfolded, ate delicious oysters, grapes, and walked in -gooey liver. We were also branded, and we slid down the slide into a tan'k of water. - Basketball is the rage in the Iunior High right now. We have played 3 games. . Bondurant Ir. H. Games B. I. H.

Robert Bane, down l..over's Lane Went for a ride one dayg He went alone, his fate to moan, His girl had run away. Harold: I know a fellow who swallows swords. Kenneth: That's nothing. I inhale CAMELS. ' Rita Ann was a musical lady: OI the boys she was somewhat afraidyg But at last she got wise, And grabbed off the prize, His name was Alphonsus O'Grady. A nice little senior named Dick Pretended one day he was sick: He stayed in his bed 'Til his grandmother said, Just wait 'Till I, go get a stick. A sweet little senior named lean, Was sometimes naughty and mean: One day on the bus She made such a iuss, That the driver was far from serene. When Margaret sat down to dinner, She said, l just want cr weiner p She had eaten a pie She thought on the sly But alas! her mother had seen her. An elephant and a monkey Had fought the live-long day: When along came Keith and Alfred And frightened them both away. Al with a nigger-shooter Keith with his B-B gun Chased the elephant up a palm tree, Put the monkey on the run. Out in the garden one day I saw a young lady named Kayp She was digging potatoes, And eating tomatoes, And putting the turnips away. Betty Bishop's a fine young girl, Every night she puts up her curl, With two pins and a rat, She fights with the cat, And stops them all with a twirl. One evening Barbara went dancing, Her boy friend and she lwere a- prancing, , I-le stepped on her toes, I can't buy those hose From then on sour looks were a- glancing. I When Richard was walking one day A passerby looked in dismay, He said to the guys Look up in the skies- The tallest in the world of to-day. When lack sees a Roosevelt woman, Roy shouts that it is inhuman, To look is a crime- She'1l take your last dime- Your bill-fold will go down a-zoomin'. When Bob Miller was a very young -fry, You could see by the look in his eye, To watch Pauline's gleam Was a powerful scheme To see if or not he could lie. When Iames went to town with the boys He made such a terrible noise, That the head waiter came, And said lt's a shame Not to have you up here playing the sax with the orchestra . There once was a bad boy named Paul, Was sent to stand in the hall: When the teacher came out, He pretended to pout, As he sat by the red painted wall. A senior named Bob Ugulini From a freshman girl once swiped a weenie , He than grabbed another, She ran to her mother, And said, l just hate the old meanie . A -3 B- THE POET'S DREAM I think that I shall never find A senior class so sweet and kind: A class that always does its work: No time to play, no wish to shirkp Toiling, rejoicing, always Ready and willing to give- Eager for stiff assignments Full of the zest to live: Free from worry and fretting, Each with a purpose strong, Eager to win life's battles- Eager to lead the throng. But quiet, My Soul, and doesn't it seem, that this was just a beautiful dream? eniofz eafetadah 2 Class pictures ........ ......... O ctober 16 A Class Party ...,.... . .,,..,.
