It was the Twelfth Annual Flag Raising Ceremony, and on this occasion, Miss Jesse Parker, retiring state superintendent, discussed the changes in education she had witnessed during her lifetime. Following the singing of the Star Spangled Banner, and a welcome by the new principal, Ernest Gustafson, upperclassmen made their way class- ward reluctantly, while self-conscious freshmen darted nervously here and there looking for their respective rooms. In devastated Korea the guns were at last silent, though elsewhere fight- ing and unrest continued. The situation in Indo China, where French troops had long been fighting the Communists, became more serious. More than two million people stood cold and wet to watch the Coronation of Eliz- abeth II, and the fiftieth anniversary of Orville and Wilbur Wright's famous flights at Kitty Hawk marked a half century of world progress in aviation. ln spite of unrest in the farm scene, an alarming rise in unemployment, the bombast of McCarthy investigations, and the invention of new and more deadly weapons of destruction, life of a student in Denison High School was much the same. He voted for his class officers, joined the band or glee club, cheered or groaned as athletic contests were won or lost, helped select home- coming, ice carnival, and track queens, and became a member of one of a number of clubs. Harvest Time was the theme of homecoming festivities, and the jun- ior's Horn of Victory was judged first. The cast of the junior play, Little Women, turned in a professional performance, and an atmosphere of quiet reverence was created during the Christmas Vesper program. Semes- ter tests, county tournaments, and the Band's Pop concert climaxed the re- flections cast during the first half of the school year. Along with unseasonably warm weather came the realization that the year was rapidly coming to an end, and students began preparing for various vocal, speech, and instrumental contests. A variety show was presented through the combined efforts of the fine arts department, and the seniors staged the fanciful comedy, The Curious Savage . April 24, high school girls appeared gracefully arrayed in a swirl of soft colors on the arms of their best beaus for the top social event of the year, the Junior-Senior Prom. To the strains of Pomp and Circumstancen graduates marched deliber- ately in to the annual Baccalaureate service. Finally, on graduation evening, the senior, clad in cap and gown, saw his mom, his dad, his teachers, his rela- atives, and his friends sitting in the auditorium. Then he realized that on their faces as well as his own was reflected the story of his life thus far. Pic- tures of trial, anxiety, failure, and success flashed across his mind, and he wondered what reflections he and his classmates would cast on the pool of life. .4- reflecfions of administration sermiors L11ldE?17Cl3.SSYY1G1'1 departments athletics fine arts activities -5- . . . dedication O Mr. Rex Ruch, vocational agriculture instructor, and Mr. Wendell VVoodall, basketball coach and driver education instructor, the staff of the 1953-54 Monarch dedicate this annual. Mr. Ruch began teaching in Denison in 1928 and has taught here for 25 years. During his resi- dence in Denison he has become well acquainted with a good many townspeople and neighboring farmers, all of whom respect him deeply. In addition to teaching vocational agriculture, Mr. Ruch has taught chemistry, social problems, mechanical drawing, in- dustrial arts, FFA athletics, has been assistant principal, and has chaperoned the FFA boys on several trips to Canada. Active in many organizations, Mr. Ruch is a member of Delta Sig- ma l'hi, a social fraternity, Alpha Zeta, an honorary argicultural frater- nity, Phi Mu Alpha, an honorary music fraternity, and Gamma Sigma Delta and Sigma Alpha, both honorary teaching fraternities. Mr. Ruch graduated from high school in Pierson, Iowa, in 1921. I-le re- ceived his ll. A. at Iowa State College and later his M. S. degree. Ile then taught a year at Orient, Iowa, before coming to Denison. Mr. Ruch's students, successful in farming and various other fields, owe their primary agricultural knowledge and their will to advance to a man who has won not only their friendship, but also their admiration as a fine instruc- tor. This year Mr. VVoodall, who in previous years taught general science, concentrated his efforts on coaching varsity football and basketball. He also supervised classes in physical education and driver's training. Mr. VVoodall graduated from Webster City High School in 1943 and that year was named to the all-state basketball team. After serving 27 months in the Army Air Force, he enrolled in Drake University, which he attended for one year. Ile then transferred to I-owa State Teachers College, where he received his B. A. degree. Mr. VVoodall is active in social organizations, being a member of thc American Legion, U. P. O. E., and Driver, National and Iowa Education Associations. Taking or having taken an active part in basketball, football, track, and golf, he is an avid fan of any and all sports. Mr. Wootlall came to Denison in 1950, and in his four years here has become one of the most popular and best- liked teachers in the entire school. Alumni, who revisit school on furloughs or week ends, come to see him, their well remembered coach and instructor. To these two teachers we dedicate this an- nual in the firm trust that the class of 1954 will remember with eternal friendship and gratitude the days that they spent in this school under the guidance and leader- ship of men like these. .-5.. administration , . . . adminisfrafion superintendent K. B. Koch, soft spoken and mild mannered, but resolutely determined to keep Denison school standards of conduct and achievement high, has won the respect of both faculty and student body in his three years of service as superintendent. principal Principal Ernest Gustafson, impartial and persevering, can always be found working for the improvement and advancement of Denison high school students. schoo board Ray Hoffeins, Ray Moeller, Virgil Nelson, D.

A few minutes later Bob Brandt took a bad pass from center and went around end tp score. , Denison's Homecoming hopes were shattered by Carroll 39-6. The Monarchs were held scoreless until, the fourth quarter when Brandt flipped a pass to Don Beck in theaend- zone for their lone score. i Sac City, the number one Class A team at the time, handed the Monarchs their third conference loss of the sea- son blanking them 26-O. The Missouri Valley Big Reds also upset the Monarchs by another one-sided score 29-7. Dick Suntken scored Denison's only T. D. and also made the con- version good.

In the following game, however, these hopes were abruptly halted when a fast Carroll team invaded the local gym and knocked the Monarchs for a ful to 32 point loss. llopes became dimmer as Klapleton downed the lXlon- archs 47 to 38, jefferson took their measure 51 to 42, and Sac City followed by beating them 5l to 38. The results of the next two games told the same story, as lXlanning and lda tlrove beat the local boys 54 to 45 and 45 to 32 respectively. The surprise game of the season came when the Mon- archs pushed over the llarlan Cyclones 42 to 38 for the only conference win of the year. ln the lfoone contest the Mon- archs played a brilliant first half. llowever, lloone won the game 55 to 41. The following game with Logan was won by the boys in purple and gold, 55 to 31. The remainder of the season proved to be dismal for the home team. In sectional play Denison pulled a surprise victory over a rough Manilla outfit by the score of 39-30 in what was considered one of the best games of the season. Two nights later when the team took on lX'lanning, a new type of basket- ball was introduced. Coach XYendall XVoodall, knowing that the Manning team had too much height and speed for the Monarchs, slowed the ball down and kept it away from Man- ning 23 of the total 32 minutes of play. Manning fans were hysterical, llowever, the llulldogs finally won out 19-9. .364 EFLFCTIONS in the windows of the gym in 1953-54 showed a squad of sixteen boys working out for track in early March.

Timing of the production was smooth, the stage pictures created were lovely, and the atmosphere of the Civil VVar period created in the first scene was sustained throughout the entire play. All these factors, so often missing in the average high school play, showed evidence of competent coaching on the part of the director. .49- . . . senior play 31 Flrst Bow: Lett to right - Donna Lueck, Virginia Shields, Jean Harker, Pat Retman, Janice Hill.

These students had won the right to compete in this contest after placing I in the home elimination contest. Over forty- three students prepared selections for declamatory work. Mary Weed, Virginia Shields, and Jack Goeser received I's in the home elimination contest with Sixteen, Medea, and The Last Rendezvous. Wayne Dozark, Frank Brown, and Bradley Tate won top honors in the oratorical division with Skeletons All, Bloody Alars and Mankind's Moment of Decision. In other elimination contests Phyllis North, Hugo Denker, and Marilyn Walde qualified to compete in the original oratory division. Their selec- tions were Youth Answers the Accusationf' Feeding Starving Europe, and India's Role In VVorld Affairs. Phyllis North, Jane Gilchrist, and joleen Marquardt entered the contest as interpretive readers, while Wayne Dozark and Dwayne Sturtevant com- peted in the radio speaking division.

Bob Brannon, Dick Kapfer. HE first semester journalism class was primarily con- cerned with the bi-weekly publication of the Monarch News. Thirteen students set a new record by selling over two hundred copies of one edition. Nlfeekly duties of the journalism students included writing current news articles and feature stories, selling advertisements to business firms, and distributing the paper. Headline stories throughout the semester included: Yearbook Dedicated to Woodall, Ruch, Rose Ann Reiff Is Crowned As Queen, t'Petersen Selects 'Little Worri- en', and Monarchs Meet Manning In Sectional Tourna- ment. Equally important was the production of the 1954 annual, and much time was spent selling advertisements for the year- ly edition. The majority of the necessary advertisements were sold before the semester ended, and the completion of the annual remained for the second semester class. Each student in the class had a specific job which con- tributed to the publication of the paper. Bob Brannon, Dan lflanigan, and Eddie lzlailen filled the sports page with play by play descriptions of basketball and football games. predic- tions, honors won by athletes in the competitive sports, and intramural activities. Frank llolland covered Pep Club and the homecoming, Sally Jewell was the band correspondent, and library news was reported by .lack Goeser. Dale Hoff- meier, Paul Olsen, and Bryce Wlinn wrote numerous articles on the FFA organization and classroom stories. Sally john- son, Dick Kapfer, and Pat Retman wrote on-the-spot stories of current news. Dick Runge was in charge of the cartoon section, which was featured in the paper this year for the first time. The paper also contained personal sketches of the new teachers and feature stories on alumni and social happenings. ,54- X S the second semester journalism class sits back to re- flect on what has happened during the publication of this annual, they remember how startled they were when they first heard Mrs. Edwin Coen, their sponsor, using such terms as 'fdeadline, block, delete, cut, make up, lead, and dozens of other terms entirely foreign to them. However, as the days went by, they soon became aware that these words were just ordinary journalistic expressions. They also recall how hard they worked, under the con- stant pressure of deadlines, while writing copy for the annual, publishing the Monarch News, selling ads for the annual and the paper, as well as the annuals and newspapers themselves. To fill the pages of this book and the paper, journalists found themselves covering such events as assembly programs, class plays, basketball games, the junior-senior prom and ban- quet, contests, and projects of the various departments of the school. The Writing of the class will and prophecy also fell upon the shoulders of this group. So as the year comes to an end, students enrolled in the second semester journalism class can look back and reflect on how earnestly they worked while learning to headline their stories, proofread their copy, and book in both 11ews- paper and annual dummies. They also remembered how they studied the structure of the news story, the formation of the summary lead, and the composition of the feature story, hu- man interest story, and editorial. ' 7X .

ICFLIECTIONS cast on the windows of the agriculture room showed the group busily planning a fund raising project to purchase a Seeing Eye Dog for Sherman Spiegel, working out the details of the Christmas party, and debating on the destination of the annual summer trip. Other things which occupied the minds of this active club included staging a TV show over XVOXV, electing olticers for the coming year, selecting a queen, playing basketball, plan- ning a spring picnic, and conducting regular business meet- ings. This year the 'tlfriendly City Chapter was ably led by Gerald llretey, president, Edgar Brandenburg, x'ice-prcsi- dent, VVayne Dozark, secretaryg Bradley Tate, treasurer, llarlow Sievers, reporterg llugo Denker, sergeant-at-arms, and Rex Ruch, advisor. Many boys took an active part in contest work-creed speaking, parliamentary procedure, cattle judging, extempor- .tneous speaking, chapter program of work, and the like. Six events won gold awards at the District Contest in Gris- wold this year and the right to compete for further honors in state competition at Davenport.

All in all, it was another colorful year which went down as F. F. A. history. The club year was high-lighted by the annual banquet girls' afhlefic association . . . HE Girls' Athletic Association reflects the active and alert girl at work and play. Janice Hinz, Sally john- son, Roxana jedele, and jackie Trumbull were chosen president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer at the first meeting of this club which was under the direction of Miss Margaret Green, physical education instructor. The girls also selected board members to keep track of the points they acquired in various activities. As the last days of summer passed quickly, G. A. A. members were busy in their new refreshment stand at the athletic field. The girls sold Monarch Burgers and other goodies at the football games to pay for the building. The next major project was the sponsoring of a play day. .Xpproximately sixty witches, goblins, and bats from Sac City, llarlan, and Denison were assembled in the gym October 31st for the G. A. A. Wfitches' Vlfoundup. December 18th the halls were filled with flappers from the Roaring Twentiesf' These were the initiates of G. A. A., who went through the usual antics and perils of such an or- deal. which was held February 18th in the cafeteria. Entertain- ment was furnished by new members who presented skits for their older sisters instead of beine' drafffred throuffh the usual torture chamber. b bb 6 After the delicious feast, Seniors Patsy Retman, Janice Hinz, Marlene Holmes, Sally Johnson, Marilyn Savery, and Dorothy Satterlee were presented the traditional red rose.

The club began its third year with 52 active members who were divided into two sections. Reflections were made early in the year by the election of officers. Officers of Section l were Shirley Christensen, president, Marilyn XVingrove, secretary-treasurerg and Jack tloeser, reporter, while JoAnn lleldt, Mary llrodersen, and .lack Goeser were elected president, secretary-treasurer, and reporter, respectively, of Section II. Three standing committees were appointed by Mrs. llilda li. Catron. These included a finance committee, social committee, and a cooperation committee. .-X library club member must meet the requirements of one credit' a week in order to remain in the club. Credits are made by work satisfactorily completed in a manual and rou- tines which include care of newspapers and magazines, mend- ing, charging-out and charging-in procedures, shelving books, charge of overdue book notices and lOU's, making cards, typing, filing catalog cards, and cleaning books and materials. Members of the club also were in charge of the bulletin board and had different exhibits during the year. Book lYeek, Christmas, and Thanksgiving were themes used for the bulletin board, while exhibits were shown from the Ameri- can literaturc classes and the linglish II classes. New equipment for the library was purchased during the past year. This included a combination card catalog and business file and two double book shelves. -53- library club . . . As a special project, fourteen Library club students under the direction of Mrs. Hilda Catron presented A Typi- cal Day in the Library at the PTA meeting held November 23, in the high school library. Students who assisted by ushering and working at the charging-out desk included Mary Brodersen, JoAnn Heldt, Shirley Christensen, Gertrude Reichert, Judy Kregness, Bar- bara XYhiteing, Marilyn Wfingrove, Susan Spieker, Mary Jo Siemer, Jo Ann Schroeder, Joyce Blankenbaker, Bernice Hal- terman, and Ann McKeighan. Following the business of the PTA meeting, Mrs. Catron requested that in order to make the program a success, par- ents and teachers should turn back the clock to their high school days. The program was divided into three minute sessions. Students Louise Jewell, R. M. Vtfatson, and K. B. Koch did such typical things as attempting to locate notes for a speech in a blue book without knowing the title and author, checking out a magazine, and preparing a speech on con- servation. Teachers who acted as study hall supervisors during the three periods were Mrs. Edwin Coen, Miss Anna Marie Schneller, and Miss Esther Oppedahl. Members of the Library Club and Mrs. Catron, librarian, are trying to work together to make the the library a service agency, a teaching agency, a materials' center, and a reading center. Service is given to both teachers and pupils by check- ing books in and out, and seeking information for those who need help in locating materials. 77 ,fr Fjrst Row: Left to right-Phyllis Whited, Karen Kay Hansen, Karen Lee Hansen, Jo Ann Heldt, Mrs. Hilda Catron, Nancy Retman, Janice Neu- mann, Jo Ann Shields.

School spirit is put to a severe test when a team has a losing season, and this year the club did a fine job of keeping up team morale. This was accomplished largely by increased student attendance and enthusiasm at games. The Pep Club was instrumental in obtaining buses to take students to these out-of-town contests. In past years, this has not been a common practice, but this year it has proved quite successful. The annual Pep Club picnic was held early in the fall. Spirits undampened by rain, they gathered in the shelter- house, and, after they'd had their fill of hot dogs and ice cream, the members chose the new officers for the coming year. Frank Holland was elected as president, Sally John- son as vice-president, and Janice Hinz as secretary-treasurer. The organization was under the able sponsorship of Miss Margaret Green, girls' gym instructor. Miss Shirley Smith, typing and shorthand teacher, was named co-sponsor. Homecoming week found the pepsters busy selling home- coming pins, planning skits, making arrangements for the traditional Snake dance, and organizing the hour long pep meeting. llecause they felt the club should be more democratic, twenty-three new members were voted in, raising the mem- bership from twenty-seven to fifty. The purpose of the Pep Club is to support the team and to arouse school spirit, not to provide a social organization with parties and dances for its members. Keeping this in mind, the members are attempting to remold their club into one which effectively fulfills this purpose.

Scenes reflected on the windows of Room 102 showed Mr. xvlllllllll Lewis, art instructor, explaining the process of developing films, jeweler Howard Kelly displaying a number of rare diamonds, and Sponsor Ilarry lllonistrand showing scenic views of Cuba. .Xt the lirst meeting, the club elected Nancy Norman, president, lirank Brown, vice-president, Bob Clarcy, secre- tary-trea'.urerg and .lo.'Xnn Shields to paste up the scrapbook. At a later meeting' Sally johnson was elected to take over the vice-presidents post. V Early in the year Tom Gary, chairman of the entertain- ment committee, arranged for llarry Maxwell, local morti- cian, to speak. llere Mr. Maxwell told of ancient burial cus- toms, and at a later meeting, took the members to his funeral parlor where he showed them his display of caskets and burial vaults. Olutside excursions of the club included a trip to the local light plant and a tour of the Dr. Pepper Bottling Plant. At the bottling plant, Mr. W'illia1n lVahrman showed the club his collection of rare pop bottles and explained the process of mixing and bottling soft drinks. A trip to the hospital was another highlight of the club's activities. There Miss Rachael Hall, laboratory technician, demonstrated the basal metabolism test using Jean llarkerg and Paul Olsen had his blood count taken. At the close of the session, Miss llall explained the duties and education of a laboratory technician. -.624 cadef feachers . . . my OOKING back at the reflections of 1953-5-1, we see the Denison Chapter of the Cadet Teachers Corps, an ac- tive organization of twenty-nine members. Under the able direction and guidance of Miss Anna Sclmeller and Mrs. Delores lfastje, club members received actual observation and experience in the classrooms of grades one through six. Thirteen seniors, ten juniors, and six sophomores joined the organization, choosing Dick Kapfer, president, Jean Har- ker, vice-president, and Mary Brodersen, secretary, first semester. Phil Kapfer, Pat Solberg, and Janice Kapfer head- ed the future pedagogues during the second semester. Purpose of the club was to interest high school students in the teaching profession and to make them aware of the facts concerning this occupation. In their classroom work cadets assisted in arithmetic and spelling drills, told stories, or taught units of science, according' to their choice. Demonstrations of methods and techniques i11 conducting drills were given. At one meeting, Miss Schneller and Mrs. Fastje demonstrated the story tell- ing technique, while Cadets observed the facial expressions and reactions of the grade youngsters. At another meeting, a panel discussion on the Charac- teristics of a Good Teacher was presented by Frank llrown, jerry O'Connor, Donna Lueck, Marilyn NValde, and Pat Sol- berg. During the year, such speakers as Mrs. Josephine Mc- Henry, city librarian, and Mr. K. U. Koch, superintendent, gave informative talks to cadets. Mrs. McHenry discussed children's tastes in books, while Mr. Koch discussed what students should expect to gain from teaching.

HIS year one of the most active clubs of DHS, the Speech and Dramatics Club, was organized under the able leadership of Miss LaVerne Shannon and Mr. Harold Petersen. The club elected Janice Hinz, Roxanna jedele, and Dick Kapfer as their president, vice-president, and secretary'- treasurer, respectively. This marks the second year that speech and drama stu- dents have had an organized club. During the year, seventy- five members took an active part in the many functions of the organization. Some of the first club projects of the year were panel discussions using such a topic as, The Purpose of joining' Drama Club. A group of freshman girls had a lot of fun at one meeting presenting charades of popular song titles. A prize was given to the three persons who identified most of the charades correctlyg they were placed on the entertainment committee for the next meeting. Numerous members were active in contest work and proved their abilities by winning many high ratings. The club sponsored a contest here in the high school on March ll and all members took part in some way. The biggest project undertaken by the Dramatists was cleaning the property rooms. After removing excess cos- tumes and furniture, one prop room was transformed into the vocal music office. You probably remember how you enjoyed the various entertainments provided by the Drama Club at assembly programs. Perhaps The Swamp Spirit, a one-act play, or some of the declamations were what you liked best. In cooperation with the music department the club spon- sored a variety show, the proceeds of which helped to buy a new tape recorder to be used in speech and music work. ,64- 1 My ffl rf fr 66 URTAIN Calln, a variety show with 15 acts, was presented by the vocal, instrumental, dramatic, and art departments of Denison high school on March 5. The Musical Monarchs, high school dance band, started the program with Keep It Gay and Terry Theme from Limelight. Larry Servoss, junior comedian, appeared next in striped shirt, hat, and greased mustache to give his rendi- tion of Cest Si lion . The Four Aces of Denison High-jack Goeser, Dick Runge, Dick Kapfer, and Bob Brannon, imitated the Four Aces of national prominence in their rendition of Heart of My lleart and Stranger in Paradise.
