the tenth grade. Winona Brundage, Kay Peterson, and Shirley Jones moved from Callender during the year. The last part of our lOth year, George Tuttle and Jerry Mobley moved to Callender and ioined our class. Quentin Pearson moved to Callender from Bumside during the summer of l953. There were i3 stu- dents to start our eleventh year of school. We would like you to know that we had a Fine time preparing and producing the iunior class play. We also hope the seniors of '53 and '54 enioyed our banquet as much as we enioyed having the chance to put it on. We also wish to thank everyone who helped to make it a success, especially Mrs. Johnson, our sponsor for our iunior year. During the latter part of this year, George Tuttle and Dale Slagle dropped from our class. The year we had all hoped for had finally arrived but there remained in all our minds a doubt if we had done our best in the preceding eleven years. Janice Lowry got married in the qreceding summer and Paul Ness dropped from our group in the first part of the year. There were nine students to finish their last nine months of high school in Callender. We, the seniors, would like to express our thanks to everyone who has helped us along the road of education. We wish to thank the coaches too, for their patience in our sports and we have enioyed being at the games and parties as well as partici- pating in them. We wish to thank the iuniors for their fine banquet because we really and truly en- lfyed it. G the nine seniors which graduated in the spring of l955, only two have spent their entire twelve years in Callender School. They were Kay Lowry and Donna Dey.

61444 ffistoty ln the fall of l943, scared children entered the school to begin their education. We had for our teacher Miss Helen Lee. We must have been rascals, or considered that way, because no record was found of our first year in school. We do remember the many happy times we had, especially the time we were invited to a little boy's home for a birthday party. When we got there we found his mother knew nothing about our being invited. After a year of school we were anxious to return to gain more knowledge. With the same teacher we iourneyed on. Members of the clcss were: Donna Dey, Kay Lowry, Dean Borer, Don Edwards, Gerry Edwards, Deane Haatvedt, Gary Kruse, Nedra Borer, Kathryne Dyvig, and Kay Peterson. In the third grade we had as our teacher, Miss Howard. We gained seven new pupils: Janice Meyers, Doris Reynolck, Edward Musselman, Lionel Olson, Alvin Sallie, Jimmie Flickinger and John Peterson. Miss Howard was also our fourth grade instructor. This year Jimmie Flickinger, Alvin Sallie, Edward Musselman, and Janice Meyers left our room. We gained three new students: Carol Hanson, Anne Fair- man and Stuart Seely. ln our fifth year of school, we had Miss Leget as our teacher. That year Shirley Jones, Alvin Sallie, and Bobby Klinger ioined our class. ln the fall of '48 , fourteen students started in the sixth grade. lt wmn't the sixth grade that made us feel important, it was the idea of being upstairs with the bigger children. We were put in the sev- enth and eighth grade room because they needed more room for the younger students downstairs. Fourteen students started the seventh grade in the fall of '49 . During the years in junior high we all started to develop our interest in basketball which was ta develop as the years passed by. During the preceding summer, Deane Haatvedt moved to Gowrie and Maurine Rusnak moved to Callender from Fort Dodge. During the year Stuart Seely moved to Lehigh. A new addition to our class was Sondra Hayek. Our teacher for the seventh grade was Mrs. Hodgin. ln the eighth grade of school Mrs. Hodgin was also our teacher. During the year Gary Kruse moved to Gowrie. Deane Haatvedt and Pearl Williams moved to Callender and became members of our class. We were looking forward to our future years in high school. During the summer, before we started the ninth grade, we were worried about the many things which were to come cz we would progress along in the last four years of school. There were fifteen children starting in the ninth grade. Finally the date was set for initiation. We were put through the ordeal by the sophomores, and we would like you to know, they really initiated us. After initiation came the many troubles and enioyments, which everyone experiences in high school. Kathryne Dyvig moved a- way fram Callender during the year. During the summer preceding the tenth grade, Donna Dey was stricken with polio. She is now con- sidered a very lucky girl because she was back in school and doing fine by fall. By the time. her eleventh year came and the basketball season rolled around, Donna was out on the floor playing her heart out. Winona Brundage and Janice Lowry moved to Callender during the summer before we started I8

p20,2A2Cy The date for the reunion of the seniors has arrived. The reunion is going to be held in the Stork Club in Callender suburban district. Lb to the Stork Club drives a pink and white Ford. Ohl Here comes Carol and her husband and their baseball team. Previous to marriage, Carol was working as a commercial artist for N. B.C. , but settled down to farming and washing diapers and overalls. Naurine and Lloyd appear next on the agenda in a red Oldsmobile station-wagon with three tod- lers smearing the windows. She sang with Kenny Hofer's band before bethrothal and served in the navy as a cook making only gravy. Kay rode up in a blue Chevie and the doorman helped her and her beautiful mink coat onto the curb. Kay has been teaching in a number of elementary schools in lowa. With her wages she made, she purchased many fine and fancy clothes because one of her wishes was to be well dressed. As for the men in her life, we know very little because she considers this her own private business. As her chauffeur comes to a sudden halt, Miss Fi Fi LaFlem appears. Although she acted very shy in high school, Sandy is now Miss Glamour-Puss of Hollywood . She dates all the big-time movie stars with Deane Haatvedt playing opposite her. Sandy has been married twice and is now in las Vegas preparing for her third marriage to a former classmate. We wonder who? Sandy's chauffeur pulls away, up drives Donna in her hubby's '5l Chevie. But where is the man of her family of 12? Oh, he is out playing cards with the boys. You can see who runs the family be- cause Donna takes in laundry from the air base in Moorland nightly. lt seems she lives in the flats of Fort Dodge but goes to the Stork Club every night. Her dress might be shabby but so was Cinderella's. Sometimes little Chuckie tags behind. As Donna appears in the lobby, Jerome Mobley and his second wife appear dancing on clouds in their Montclair Mercury. His mighty bloodhounds are mixed and mingled together in the back seat. His next appearance with his great dogs will be in Paris, France, tomorrow at the World Dog Show . Believe it or not, Jerry won first prize in the United States Dog Show. .lerry's first wife sued him for divorce for lack of attention ----- he became interested in dances and dogs. As our mind 'wanders to New Mexico, we see a l00,000 acre ranch and 20,000 head of cattle, all belonging to a former classmate, Quentin. With his ability in bookkeeping - he always loved - he has hired a multitude of IO secretaries - all brunette specials. lt seems he has one of them roped and branded. Quent didn't make it to the reunion because he was busy hanging cattle rustlers on his Single Six Ranch. Good-bye Quent - maybe we'll have cattle rustlers here someday too. 20
