It is composed of the president of each class and another member from each of the four classes. This organization meets once a week to dis- cuss the different school problems that arise dur- ing the year. They sponsor assembly programs, ex- tra curricular programs and this year had the hon- or of sponsoring the County Literary Contest which was held in our school. They also have at their disposal ten per cent of the door receipts of the two class plays and the operetta produced by the school each year.With this money the council buys decorations for the school building, games for the students to amuse themselves with during the noon hour, and sponsor assembly programs. This year De. Sanford was a- gain secured by the Student Council. We were very fortunate in being able to have him stay for the entire day. He spent the day lecturing and giving the juniors and seniors vocational guidance. Paul Sieber was elected president with Betty Tracy as secretary. Mr. Wohlford is the sponsor of the group and he also acts as the treasure.

I know no better way than to borrow Jolly Joe's magic telcscoge, Oh, jes, now we can see what each one is doin, in the l95O's: First, there's the sniling faced, red-cered Paul Sieber.

She is running a chain of beauty perlors with her main one in Freeport,where she is the wife of Professor Messmsn. Annually, they attend the Thespian Banquet where the pro- fessor gives an impressive speech on the merits of high school drametics. Then therc's Evelyn Long who is the present wife of Stanley Heier. Her main problem is her three young sons, who come home late every dey from bas- ketball prectice sayin? the coach kept them in.The coach, however, is very eooperntive and always helps her check up. What is this descending upon us now? It seems to be Calvin Schoch, the efrly bird, in his sutegiro. He is living in Freeport, and hauls the Freeport paper to the surroundiny towns. He owrks so ef- ficiently that he claire that he has not one dis- satisfied eustomer on his list. The next one we see is the sweet, goodnatured fsce ni' , x e in ,ee e e .ee f49,, M , gig U fvtearet of Marvin Fluegel, known around school as HSweetie Pieu. He is running a grocery store in Rock Grove. He is so kind and generous, he is known by all the kids in the block as Uncle Herve. He permits all the town loafers to use his store as a meeting place. Whether successful or not, can better be told Qfter the January inventory. Who's next? It is Martha Meek, the Hsweetheart of Dakota Highn. But oh, what a change! Now she combs her hair straight over her ears, wears horn- rimmed spectacles, and a tailored suit. Yes,she has given up the boys and is contentedly working as secretary to W.T. Raleigh. 'Tis whispered that sometimes at night she unlocks her hope chest and weeps a few bitter tears over a package of letters tied with a blue ribbon. We'll never know. The nent face is very dim ----- it must be far away. It is the well-known face of Sheldon Dornink, Dak- ota's Hickey Rooney. Yielding to the call of the West, he has gone to Hollywood. At first he wasn't successful und had to sling hash in a second rate eating joint. But he knew his chance would come. When opportunity krocked, Shels was there to open the door. Now, although his hair is greying, and he has lost Q tooth or two, he still playing adolescent roles. And there is Kathryn Mitchell who is now rivaling Orson Wells as actress-producer. She looks back with fond recollection of the first play she ever directed, The Man in the Bowler Hat . Her Next production will be nMacbethUin which she herself will star as Lady Macbeth. Lestly,there is Grace Bear. She has recently come out of mourning for her late husband, a victim of his environment. She plans to write a book on how to make the high school annual pay for itself.

The first year was a little hard, With everything so new, But most of us just tried our luck, And finally, we came through. Some of us began to show, As we went along, We had ability in sports While others Wshoneu in song, Dramatics also was enjoyed By many in the class, But, meanwhile, we kept studying, So we'd be sure and pass: The next year, although we had found, Some of our comrades gone-- We kept on climbing up that hill To reach the goal that shone, Our great enjoyment came at last, When Juniors, we returned To find a great, new schoolhouse, For it long years wefd yearned! Now everyone of us enjoyed Those useful subjects, new New clubs, societies and such- Were waiting for the crew! And now, we're on the last, long mile With plays and annual work, We know this is our busiest year- So, our duty we'll not shthk. And through our work and play and fun- We wish success to everyone!!

FQ 'V is for Dramatics Greasepaint and All GAG fCS'6f2CL YQT Senior Play The senior class successfully presented the comdey, Second Fiddle on November 10, 1959. The play was a hard play to present as the characters were supposed to be very serious about situations that brought many laughs from the large audience. In spite of this fact, the characters, with the helpful assistance of Miss Cochran, did very well. The scene of the play was in the living-room of Hrs. Marion Bakerfs winter home in Florida. A prospective bridegroom, Harold Werple, comes to the Baker home to see his old schoolmate,Janct and he is introduced to two of her friends, Joan and Minnie. There a rehearsal for the wedding takes place using Joan as the substitute bride with the butler, Wilbur, officiating. When it was discover- ed that a real wedding had taken place, all was in confusion. To make matters worse Mrs. Keeler, who believed her daughter is happily married, comes to meet the happy bridegroom. The situation becomes more serious when Harold's fiancee, Dorothy Van Straaten, comes to find Harold. As soon as she finds out what has happened, she ends the engage- ment and leaves Harold so unhappy that he takes poison to end his misery. After Joan confesses her love for Harold, he wishes he hadn't taken poison and finds to his surprise that Wilbur, the butler, who is a little dense, had neglected to poison the tomato juice after all.

Mrs. Spangler keeps a rooming house at Brook- field College where students are in and out all the time, Then spring fever hits Brookfield and Ed Burns turns his room into a laboratory while Vic Lewis, an art student,sets up his materials in the living room. When the dignified Mr. Purcell arrives,Vic thinks he is the art model, and much excitement prevails until the mistake is discovered and Mr. Purcell leaves in a fury. A deathbed scene is put on, but somehow the deception is noticed, which causes everything to hum for awhile. In the meantime, Howard decides he can't go through with the trick, and comes back very downhearttd. He even decides to pack his things and leeve. He is stopped just in time, and the day is saved when Anne tells him to hurry and get ready for the bell. Much to the satisfaction of everybody, everything involved turns out just right.

ICE SKATING PARTY On Wednesday evening, January 10, about twen- ty Junior Cless rcmbtrs turned out for an ice skating party at Krapes Park in Freeport. The ice was rather rough and caused d few fells,but every- one seared to enjoy the party. When asked if there had been n moon,serc of the Juniors said that they d1dn't know about tte moon but they did see quite a few stars. This is probably explained by the rough ice. At ten o'clnck refresh ents wrre serv- ed and the party adjourned.

Duc to the hazardous condition of the track field at the beginning of the season, practice was slowed down somewhat. After the field was leveled off and weather conditions permitted, the boys began te ereetice in earnest. Stanley Heier had the misfortune to injure his leg so it was impossible for him to partici- nate in all of the track meets. Sheldon Dornink also was unfortunate Ln having his feet injured so he toe was unable to take an active cert in the meets for a few weeks. Nevertheless we have good prosnects in neerly all events and the boys should make e good showing in the County Meet.

ACTIVITIES OF TEE ALUFNI ASSOCIAQIGN The Alumni Association has proven quite a valuable organization to those who have graduated from Dakota High School. At the end of each school year, the alumni plan a banquet for the graduating class. This is also an opgortunity for those who have graduated in the preceding years to renew old friendships and recall some of their high school activities. This year the annual banquet will be held on Friday evening, June 7th, in the high school gym- nasium. The plate charge is the same es last year. Since this is the lowest that can possibly be charged, it is hoped that e large numbcrof the m lurni will be present as well as the entire grad- uating class. In order to goin sufficient funds for a ban- quet, e program was presented in the gym on Friday evening, March 29th. The program was given in two parts, the first of which vas a one-not play, Hwto Gets the Cnr Toni ?t?n directed by Ruth Angle, and including the following aetorsz' Mildred Kuhagen Dorvin Fortncr, Franklin Mossman, Wanda Fehr, and Lowell Thorns. The second part was a rinstrel written by the rembcrs of the Alurni Association. It included the following: Stxnlcy Wirth, Chester Filler, Wendell Lawler, LeRoy Brubrker, Bob Gentz, Frederick Virtue, Tnyne Skippy, Richard Angle, Ransom Fehr, and El IF Mesa.

Out of the darkness came's light from under a locked door. Upon the discovery of the locked door,we.fled in terror from the mystic atmosphere.

Upon opening the old office door and peering into Room 7, they saw Miss Royer calmly listening to Major Bowes and working on band uniforms, blissfully unaware of the terror and the blood chilling minutes of suspense she had caused the feminine members of the senior cthass and their sponsor. - eeeaeeeeeeeeeeee Q Overheard in study hill: James: May I speak to Galen?
