A PICTURE DAY It was a bright fall day, October ll, when the senior class met at the school house at 9 o'c1ock in their best appearance. The majority of the class was very nervous, but of course a few insisted they were as calm as if it were an everyday experience. After the usual excitement, we got on our way with very little delay. Our chauffeurs, Tom Cummings, Ray Weir, and Tommy Williams, then drove us k to Ames where we Ames about 9:50, us until October we convinced him were to meet at 10 o cloc . not too worn, at the Griffith Studio in where the owner told us he wasn't expecting 18. After some confusion and explanations, it would be pathetic not to take our pictures we arrived, when we were ready, willing, and waiting. to have our pictures taken. the boys pleaded that there girls--the boys went first. tie of who would be first on the list The question was answered when were so few of them and so many Ray was uncomfortable with his his picture taken--off it came. It was then a question on so as soon as he had The make-up room was used mostly by the girls, especially Kathryn Davis, who occupied it continually. By noon, we had all finished and were slowly starving. Being Wednesday, a number of restaurants were closed so most of the class resorted to the Rainbow Cafe. While we patiently waited to be served, a little gray cat occupied much of our attention. When it came time for desert, Martin Rieee had delicious raisin K?D pie, which was free, due to the cook's error. The afternoon was spent in gating, hunting souvenirs, gating, going to shows, gating, and many other interesting things. For evening entertainment, some went to the shows, some to bowl. Berniece Day and Gladys Smith decided upon that amusement Cbowlingl. Bernice had quite a bit of trouble to keep from rolling down the ally herself--Gladys was more experienced. p the and and Not For the others, the remainder of the evening Carter shows? was spent bowling. Many had never bowled before it was quite an experience. At 11 o'clcck, we met at the She1don-Munn Hotel lobby after a little discussion of the day, we started home. too tired, we all agreed that it had been one of the high-points of our senior year. ' - SKIP DAY W The Seniors left the school house at 9:00 for Des Moines. Tom Cummings, Ray Weir, and Tommy Williams drove cars. . The plans for the day were to go through W H O at 10:00. Well, Tom'was there at 10:05, Tommy at 10:15, Woody woods showed us through the station after Ray and his gang had been through K R N T! Of course by mistake--they got wrong instructions from a pedestrian. Of course??????????? After we were through with our tour, we parted, each small group going his own way for dinner. Some of us ate at Younkers' Tea Room. As you know, it is a Cafeteria and your eyes, they say, are always larger than your stomach, which was proven as Martin again ate at Bishops. At 2:30 part of the class met at the Register and Tribune Building to make an excursion-to see how our good, good paper is made. This was very interesting in that we saw 600 pound rolls of paper, which were 6 miles long. There are around 100 of these rolls of paper used for Sunday papers weekly. However all the girls did not make this tour, but accompanied Miss Iseminger to Bankers Life Building. Then to K R N T, where some of us obtained the auto- graph of Gene Emerald, a Radio Star, and we also got to sit in on his 5:00 broadcast. In the evening some of us 'Childrenn went to the .showz 'Roughly Speak1ng,n 'The Very Thought of You,' and others. Some girls went skating, had pictures taken, shopped and also bought souvenirs. The boys and Mr. Grant went to the State Basketball Tournament. We met at the Kirkwood Hotel at 11:00 to start our g Journey home. Coming home Donna picked up the famous saying, 'Bondurant,' which means, ' ???, JUNIOR AND SENIOR BANQUET Friday, April 15, 1945 was the day chosen by the Juniors to entertain their Senior classmates and the faculty at a banquet. All guests met at the dock fthe Schoo1'HouseD at 6:30 and proceeded to go aboard the S. S. Story Hotel in Nevada. The basement Rotar- lan Room was the scene of most action including sea- sickness. - Places were set for sixty-one persons. The place cards were small ships and the nut cups were in the form of boats anchored by key chain favors. Attractive printed program booklets were given each passenger. when all guests had been piped aboard, the follow- ing Navy Chow was served.

IN WITNESS HEREGF, We have hereto Subscribed our names and affixed our seal this tenth day of May, in the yehr of our Lord One Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty-five. QSeall , CLASS PHOPHKCY--1955 After being away from Colo for ten years we come back to see if we can find any of our school chums who graduated with us way back in '45'. And right off the hat we see K. L. Grant step into his Maroon Ford fthe same one he had when he taught usl which he always leaves within a few feet of the door step. This may seem rather odd to you, but if you could see him it wouldn't! He has gained another hundred pounds and finds it rather difficult to get around. As he rolls down highway No. 50 toward Nevada, he comes into contact, rather abruptly and w1th'a terrible crash, with Tom Cummings who, since his- ' high school days, has abandoned his quiet ways and has blossomed into a first-class playboy. Since Tom was s rather sleepy he failed to see for bicycles only. the black line reserved Mr. Grant proceeded to the nearest farmhouse and knocked on the door and who should answer but Tommy Williams. He and Betty Rogers remaining high school couple. for about a week, Tommy has employed Myrna her out. Myrna is a registered nurse, you -started when she decided to become a Cadet are the one Since Betty and only has been ill Davis to help know. It all Nurse and well, you knov how fascinating some things can be. He talks to the long lost friends for quite some time and then asks to use the telephone. He rings and after some delay, gets Central, and who should be still running the switchboard but Frances Stokesbary. After being a second Fibbsr McGee' for a few minutes, he puts a call through to the police in Colo. Chief of Police Martin Riese answers the phone in his usual business-like manner. After getting the de- tails of the accident he proceeds to the scene in his big black squad car driven by Kathryn Fish, who has proven that women can be good drivers As they approach the scene of the accident, they see a large crowd which just naturally accumulates at such things. Among them is one who both Tom and Mr. Grant, and as it be but Shirley Andrew, home works in Washington, you know. secretary. Martin, finding no seems to be acquainted with we get closer who should on a short vacation. She The Pres1dent's private one hurt calls Bell9B Station and Garage and guess who brings the red wrecker out, thst's right, Margaret. As she hooks the wrecker on Tom's car, she hears music and pokes her head in the window to find the radio on. She turns it up just in time to hear the Thornton Twins announced. They have a program of their own now. They sing songs of yesteryear, such as nDance with the Dolly,n etc. We were somewhat surprised to learn that their sponser is Gladys Smith of the Smith Body Building Club. Since Gladys was always so tiny she is doing her bit to keep herself and others the same. Finally Margaret gets the wreckage cleared and the crowd disperses. Chief of Police Riese gave Shirley a lift to Colo where she planned to have her hair fixed. Upon inquiring about a shop, sne learns that one of the best shops in town is operated by none other than Kathryn Davie. Kathryn has worked up a considerable business in Colo and surrounding communities. Strolling out of the Beauty Shop we see a sign, 'DAWSON'S MARKET AND LOCKER.N we wonder if this could be any of the Dawson's we used to know and upon investi- gating, find Donna wrestling with a gigs gi pggk trying to make hgmpggggg out of it ll!! While we are in the Market, in walks Ellen Allie and we sit awhile and talk about the 'good old tlmesn when we were in school together. Ellen and her husband have bought s small farm just at the edge of Colo and are doing quite nicely for themselves. Ambling out of the store we see the Halsted Loan Agency. I think she must have quite a business as the telephone is ringing and the door is banging all the time I'm there. After hashing over old times I ask about the one remaining member of the class of '46', Ray Weir. She tells me he has started up a photo shop of his own after all the practice and fun he had taking pictures for the annual. we don't know about the practice, but . the fun, well, knowing Hay as we do, we are quite sure this must have had a lot to do with his opening the shop. And so we part again. Ten years it has been since we were all together, but then as the old saying goes, 'Absence makes the heart grow fonder.' And we say good- bye to our friends and each go his own separate way for-- who knows how long? HINDERGARTEN Fnnsv 5Ec oND FAU M H Q5 TIMRD AND FOURTH 5 EVLINTH ,pw Mini '24 . 4 'www' 1 grim! nw!

' Being it is that every class in high school takes turns for taking in the D0-RE-ME, the Juniors put on the next dance. A contest for those who felt like chasing from one end of the floor, to the other. CAnd of course all the girls did!! DIDN T we g1rls?????l The Juniors served pop and cookies to every one there, but not all of these people were happy, you see the grape pop was, well should we say, 'NOT TASTY1' Season tickets for basketball, was the original thought for the next dance and every one liked the idea too.

Act II Later that evening. Act III The next day. - Summary , J. H. Davis, a small-town business man, and his wife are discussing their financial condition, which at the time ie very embarrassing, when their son Bennie announces his engagement to Molly Mallertcn. Bennie asks his father for two hundred dollars to buy Molly an engagement ring. Mr. Davis promises to give him the money if he will pretend to be a girl during the visit of his uncle, Benjamin Davis, Esq After much deliberation Bennie consents. ,Uncle Ben prefers girls to boys,'therefore it is necessary for Bennie to pose as a girl in order to win his favor and, thus, receive some or Uncle.Ben's wealth. Molly and Harold do not understand the situation and call in Ab Dinkler, the Town Marshall, to find Bennie, who they believe has disappeared. Ab hunts for clues in every nook and cranny and finally comes to the conclusion that Uncle Ben has-murdered Bennie, 'By Greb.' Bennie returns to the scene as his true self and saves Uncle Ben from being taken to.Ja1l. He xhen continues to play a duel role until Uncle Ben finds part of the disguise used by Bennie. Hr. and Mrs. Davie explain the entire story to Uncle Ben who takes it as a big Joke on himself. He is well pleased to find that he has a nephew like Bennie and gives him a quarter of a million dollars. This ends the stream of lies that was necessary for Bennie to tell and thus draws to a close the 'String of Beads' as Bennie termed the lies.

Tom Cummings Story of the Play The entire action of the play takes place in the living room of the King residence in a medium-sized Eastern city. The time is the present. Act one takes place on a late afternoon in May, Act two, several hours later, and Act three is half an hour later than act two. Aunt Susie Stowe, an eccentric and man-hating splnster, lives entirely alone. When she learns that her late lamented schoolmate, Cora King, has willed her her property, she wires her favorite niece, Joy Herbert, telling her to meet her at the King residence on the following afternoon. While Joy and her maid, Scarlet, are awaiting Aunt Sus1e's arrival, they experience many hair-raising events. Aunt Susie arrives, calms their fears and boasts that she has inherited not only the late Cora's house but the factory next door as well-- a sausage works! However, Cora's lawyer relates that Aunt Susie will only inherit the property providing she is married to one of Cora's cousins a man named Omar Graves, within thirty days. Aunt Susie nhits the ceiling' and pre- pares for battle. To make matters worse, Jo y is secretly engaged to young Johnny Rogers, who turns up unexpectedly 'bent on a mysterious mission and disguised as an old man. Aunt Susie mistakes Johnny for Omar and poor Johnny is on the verge of nervous prostration when the real Omar arrives accompanied by his colored man-servant, LaSalle. Lights flash on and off, characters disappear into nowhere, strange visitors run in and out and at midnight, weird sounds are . heard coming from the factory. Aunt Susie investigates and goes into the factory alone. The climax is reached when the eccentric old maid 'shoots the works.n with the aid of some love lozenges, LaSalle woos and wins Scarlet, and Omar gets Aunt Susie s promise to merry him. Johnny solves the mystery of the King residence with the help of Laura Dawson, and Aunt Susie consents to Joy's marriage to Johnny. 'All's well that ends wel1,' which truly describes the ending of the story MUSIC GROUPS The Music Department under the direction of Miss Mildred Chapman started on a very good year of remembrance The bend consisting of twenty-tour members played at home basketball games, at Grade Operetta, and Memorial Day The big high lights of the year were the Grade and Senior high operettas.

Our first game, Dec. 1, was with Rhodes. It was an easy victory, with the score standing 59 to 55 ln our favor When we played them on their floor on Feb. 26, we won 29 to 28. On Dec. 8, we met the Collins team. ,With a little tough luck but plenty of fight, we managed to come out with a tie, 51 to 51. On the return game of Feb. 16, we defeated them 47 to 27, . I We were still fighting hard when we met Fernald on our floor Dec. 15, but we went down in defeat 17 to 18. They also beat us on Feb. 16, with a score of 55 to 54. Maxwell proved to be 'hard hitters' when we played them on Dec. 19, but we came out with a tie 21 to 21. The next time we met them, on Jan. 12, we won 52 to 25. In one of the easiest games of the season we defeated Cambridge 54 to 46 on Dec. 1. Again on Jan. 29, we played them on their own floor and won 59 to.50. We met Zearing Jan. 5, on our floor and defeated them 40 to 25. Jan. 19, we played State Center and lost to them 20 to 26. We met them again on Feb. 20, but we were again I defeated 26 to 47, On the afternoon of Jan. 25, we faced the Milford team at Roland in the County Tournament. Due to lack of Tournament experience, we went down in a 51 to 42 defeat. But everyone put up a great fight. when we played in the Sectional Tournament of Feb. 7, we were able to defeat St. Anthony 45 to 50, The next night, when we met Randall, it was a GITTBPORU story. We played hard but they won 52 to 42. Betty Rogers was chosen captain, and Margaret Bell and Marybelle Hemping were chosen co-captains. We really used our heads this year. During the Collins game, Jean Ann Marsh Clshl tried to stand on , her head. This really added a 'thr111 to the game. Not to be out-done, Mary Bell KPee Wee? started bang- ing her head on the floor during the State Center game. She still insists that it cracked the floor. Since Betty Rogers' iDutchJ head was too hard to hurt, she just got lazy and fell on her back during the Cambridge game. fSome people are so clumsy!! Marybelle Hemping Kjust plain Hemoing to ual and Shirley Upchurch CUp1el, felt so bad because Margaret Bell CMarg1eD made more fouls than they did. Don't feel too bad girls, better luck next year. At the first of the season we had a mascot called 'Pedro.n He was a little blue and white dog, with a pink ribbon around his neck. After we had Pedro' awhile we decided he was bringing us bad luck instead of good luck, so after that we left him in the dog house. The saddest thing that happened this season was when our manager, Donna Dawson, was left at home during the Collins game. This was not intentional, but due to the fact that no one knew which corner she was going to get on at, she was left home with her magazines. We think that the next year's team will be the beet ever, and we wish them all the luck in the world. xw.
