Coggon High School - Rocket Yearbook (Coggon, IA)

Text from Pages 1 - 110 of the 1953 volume:

I I I I F r r r r The Senior Class of 1953 is dedicating this year book to two people who have in separate ways, contributed greatly to our school and to the education of its students. We feel that this class, class- es that have come before us, and classes that will follow us owe these two ladies a debt of gratitude for their services. Since 1913� one of the leading teachers of Coggon, has been Miss Tillie Lindahl. he has been a faithful servant of the school and of the community. The first six years that she served at Coggon was spent teaching fifth and sixth grade. The following years, were spent in the Junior high department Consequently we feel that we are Justified in dedicating this annu- al to Miss Lindahl. We are sure that you will agree that we have chosen wisely in selecting this superb teacher and wonderful lady. Anyone who has been under Miss Lindahl's guidance feels that she has contributed to his success. The fifteen years of service on the Coggon School Board with many tireless hours jpent by Mrs. Savage, giving thoughtful suggestions and constructive criticism,has been a feature of the promotion of a better school system for Coggon and community. The foregoing is exem- plified by Mrs. Savage's service not only in the school but all communi- ty projects which help to make Coggon a better place for growing boys and girls.

At least at C.H.S. Under the expert cook- raanship of Mrs. Lola Barker and her able assistants, Mrs. Bertha Sweet and Mrs. Augusta Hunter, we eat very deliciously prepared food. All students will remember this year for the many turkey dinners. Much credit is also due to Mrs. Wanda Gardner and Mrs. Ethel Savage who are in charge of washing dishes (in a large electric dishwasher). They also help out in the kitchen and serve dinner to the kindergarten, first and second grades. When asked to comment on their work, all were in agreement on one point. They all enjoy working here. And as Mrs. Barker states it, ”1 wouldn' t work here if I didn't like. Mrs. Hunter, I like serving the high school students best. Mrs. Savage, Working here, I get to know many boys and girls that otherwise I would never see. Mrs. Gard- ner feels the same way. Mrs. Gladys Johnston is the person who keeps the hot-lunch program running smoothly. She keeps the daily record and makes out the report that goes to the state. She records the sale of tickets and receipt of money. Mrs. Johnston also pays the bills. Mrs. Coleman plans the meals for our hot-lunch program.

Of these 10, only five have remained through the 13 years. These are Jim Woods, Shirley Hill, Mary Alice Mills, Marilou Reeves, and Jim Hungerford. As we continue’d our school life, Tom Redeker and Keith Peyton were added in Second grade. Entering Junior High, several members were added to the class. Donna Sweet entered in the Sixth grade, while Don Henderson, Dona Price Wilde Emerson, and Robert Garner, all Joined us in Seventh. In Eighth grade Nancy Mills joined our class. After completing Eighth grade, with Miss Lindahl as our teacher, we received our axpicmas wnicn enabled us to continue our school career. «a Green Freshmen, Ruth Christiansen, Joanne Kintzle, Garnet Henderson, Dolores Marek, Kathleen McElligott, Delbert Noonan, Darold Smith, Beverly Topping, Viola Wall, Virginia Woods and Kathryn Beresford increased the class of 53 . In the fall of 1 9 we were in- itiated by the Seniors, making us full-fledged Freshmen. Venturing on, Mary Ernst Joined the class of Silly Sophomores. As Jolly Juniors, Mabel Hamblin and Shirley Smith were the last to fill out the class of ”53 . One of the highlights of the Junior year was our class play Green Valley . We remember so well (and I think Miss Grimm does, too) the tussle we had putting on the play. One of our most memorable events was the Jr. and Sr. Banquet Spring in Flirtation Park which turned out to be a great success. In finishing up our last year as Sophisticated Seniors we think back over all the good times we have had together at C. H. S. and hope that we are better fitted to be a success in the future.

We soon learned that Mr. Miskell is a very ambitious man. The band's first undertaking was en- tering the marching band contest at Fairfield in October, at which we received a Division II rating. The Christmas program was canceled because of a severe ioe storm. The Mixed chorus and girls' glee club participated in the county Music Festival which was held in the Alburnett school March 11. Mary Alice Mills was one of the two accompanists for the Massed chorus of 325 boys and girls. Contest entrants in the Solo and Ensemble contest gave a recital on March 27, prior to the contest on April 10 and 11 at Manchester. State contest for band, mixed chorusand glee clubs is at Tripoli on May 1 and 2. The marching band will participate in the Eastern Iowa Band Festi- val in Cedar Rapids on Maj 23.

The squad lacked experience and consisted of many sophomores. Three regulars were missing from last year's squad. A lack of height proved very costly as our tallest man, bob Garner, was only six feet tall. Tough breaks seemed to encounter the team all season. One of the first team substitutes, Stan Jossie, broke his wrist. C. J. Robinson our high scorer became ill, ana was out for the rest of the season. one of our better games was played against Tiffin when the boys annexed their first victory 62 to I4.9. The Rockets lost a close one to Central City i|0 to 1. Coggon had held a half time lead but lost the game in the closing minutes of action. The Rockets were waylayed in the sectional by powerful bpringville 70-29. The seniors on the team were, Jim Woods, wno piayed first team for three years at U.H.S. Jim, better Known as Wooaie to the people of Coggon was always in there fighting and doing a fine Job of bring- ing the ball down the court. Robert Garner, the height of the team, towered at center, bob was outstanding in his skill to fake. His a- bility to manouver his guard out of position will long be remembered by the Rockets fans. Ball-hawk Jim Hungerford was a constant throat to the opponents, with his capability to ciear the boards, uotn of- fensively and defensively. Jin served his team both as guard and as forward. Last but not least, is our never say die manager Keith Peyton. Keith was always ready with a helping hand and an encouraging smile. Others on the squad were Juniors; Stan Jossie, Don Johnston, and Don Ashby. Sophomores; Bill Woods, Serge sisler, Jerry Redeker, Jerry Sweet, C.J. Robinson, Carl DeWoody and Dale William Freshman; Don Eiler, Jim McDowell, Arnold Baldwin, and uonnie Porter. A better record next year is anticipated as only three boys are lost from the squad. Mr. Penton has built up a reserve team and with a little experience will be mighty tough.

Greater teams have passed out the doors of C.H.S., but few with greater spirit, teamwork, and all around good sportsman- ship The team this past season was complimented as to their sports- manship, not only by the Coggon fans, but by visiting teams, coaches, and officials. Many of us forget the meaning of school sports, to emphasise sportsmanship. The county tournament found the Rockettes losing to Palo by one point kk-k5 in the finals. In reaching the finals Coggon knocked out two bitter rivals, Walker and Central City, each by the score 50-1 2. For the eleventh conseutive year Coeeon won the sectional tournament. The fighting green and white conquered the Delaware County Comference Champs, Dundee, and the Wildcats of Central City to earn the right to meet Rowley in the finals. This was the fourth defeat Coggon handed Central City this season. In the final game, Coggon took a landslide decision from Rowley 56-31 allowing our opponents but four fieldgoals. Coggon came within five points of becoming one of the sixteen state finalist. Downing Center Point in the first round of the district 1 0- 15� Coggon fell in the final game 36-1 1 to a taller Lost Nation crew. The best offensive game of the season was the Tiffin game when the forwards, Joanna Henderson, Virginia Woods, Kay Smith and Shirley Beiderman netted 75 points. Jo collected 32 points and Ginny 30, to lead the attack. Other forwards on the squad are Lois Ann Reeves and Beverly Falconer. The Coggon-Center Point game in the Northeast district tournament will long be remembered for the outstanding defensive playing on the part of Coggon. The Coggon guards, Phyllis Garner, Viola Wall, and Lois Falconer held the Center Point team to three field goals. This set a record, the least number of fieldgoals allowed a team in district competition. Donna Sweet, Mary Alice Mills and Phyllis Price aided in the victory. Coach Jack Grant s team closed the season with the record 20 wins, 6 losses. Four seniors, all outstanding players, long to be remembered in the community, ended their basketball careers. They are: Virginia Woods, Viola Wall, Donna Sweet, and Mary Alice Mills. BAXTER MOTOR IMPLEMENT CO.

The Rockets finished up the fall baseball season with a record of four wins and three xosse� . No experienced pitchers were on hand to start the season; but the new crop of hurlers showed much promise. Coggon smashed Ryan in the season’s opener li . to 2, to get off to a good start. Two of Coggon's defeats came at the hands of Central City 11 to 3 and 6 to 2 in the Sectional Tourney. With six straight hits in the first inning Coggon trouced Troy Mills 15 to k� The most excit- ing game of the fall season came when Redeker of Coggon and Diggman of Hopkinton hooked up in a brilliant duel. Coggcn came out on top 2 to 11 when J. Woods doubled, Kick Robinson singled, and J. Hungerford doubled home the winning run in the last of the sixth inning.
