Y iw4,'- LIM T NNUA VOLUME xiv Dow CITY, town if MAY 1929 Jl Cfoast on Determination When all t-he world seems wrong, And there's not a thought of song, if you're tired of your work, ' And would often rather shirk: If youlve a man-sized job to do, With others depending on you, But you cannot see the light, To do what must be rightg It isn't fame nor money you need, Brut rather-Determination. If you're climbing toward success, Fame, riches, or nobleness, If you're doing a wearisome task, Which people will often ask, If you're young and brave and strong, But the road ahead seems long, If you wish to do a famous deed, Or supply some's every need, If you're going to go through life, And conquer every strife. You'1l need-Determination. When you seniors, one and all, In your answer to liie's call, And begin to, as you say, Pass from out y-our high school door, To return-nevermoreg And begin to, as you say. Build your ladder, on your way, To success we're sure you will. And our plans for you fulfill, My only wis-h is that. Tucked away inside your har. Will be at least a. peck Of Determination. When Lorena's a teacher, some day, And Lura, too, so they say When Ruth, seeking her career, On musical programs appear, When Raymond's a high class chauffeur And spending his dough all on her, When Sam is showing us how, To disc, to harrow and to plow, Wnen Ruth Scott and Lois show High schools girls how to cook an When fuatnerine has attained the name Of a dress model of fame, And Evelyn, in a shop that is her's, Full of wonderful furs, Will they need Determination To make their occupation, One of highest success? They will. Then, with Avery a drug store clerk, Dorothy, a soda squirt, Helen, a primary teacher, Altha. a lady preacher, When Ruby's a genius wit-h curls, And Bernice a telephone girl, When Herman's a fine dairyman, And Earl works as hard as he can Selling poison for rodents and rats, And Walter's a. wizard with bats, What will t-hey need, we say, To make the most of every day, To do their very, very best, And never lag behind the rest To bring ,others happiness, And themselves-Success. So t4hey'll never quit their work Tho they're tired and others shirk' To struggle thru' financial loss And see the other guy be bossg And never lose their cheery grin, Or commit the larger sin, Of being jealous of other's gain. Who have clirned to higher fame, You have it, friends, What they will need, Is Determination. d to sew, fComposed and given by Miss Winn C251 at this 1928 banquet.J LMA TER YO 2 Q Dow C1113 Alumni AnnuaIai+ hm,w H M --,A M---an Dow Citq Alumni .Jlnnual Published by Alumni of Dow City High School Almnni Association Volume XIV MRY, 1929 BOARD OF EDITORS Editor-inJChief .............

Vernon Pearsall V261 Cfhanks It is difficult to find words to adequately ex- press our appreiatlon of the good will and cheerful assistance of all wlhom I called on to help me in my work of putting out this annual. Surely the spirit of co-operation has been manifested most vividly. It is this spirit wihich brings things to pass. It is this spirit which is needed between parents and teaclhers, between pulpit and pew. Many thanks to you all. Such responses as I'll try or I'll do the best I can or yes I'11 do that and if there is anytlhing else I can do just let me know. These have made tihe task of editing this publica- tion a most pleasant one althougih secretly speaking it h-as been a much larger task tfhan we at first anticipated. Our ambition was. so far as possible, to have a letter from one in eaclh class but you can see now that we have fallen short. To those wfhfo failed to respond let me say that your lett-er will be missed espec'ally by those of your class. Allow me a little space at this time to send my hearty greetings and good wll to all my old school mates, 1902 to 1910 inclusive and espec- ially to the Class of 1906. Our Board of Education The heights by great men reached and kept, Were not attained by sudden flight, But t-hey. while their companions slept, Were tolling upward in the night. As always the citizens of Dow City are desir- of getting their moneys worth. This holds true even in the election of members of the Board of Education. Just take Oliver Cook for an ex- ample. Isn't he all wool and at least a yard wide? 0118 Mr. Cook has served one term and glad'y ac. cepted another this spring. We don't blame him for doing this, for did you ever notice how many debutantes of the teaching profession visit the members of the Board when trying to determine if they should make their debut in the Dow City schools? Mr. Cook is always sought out and con- sulted as to their chances off success here. He seems to have the right idea about these affairs too. He started young for, Why wait until the brow is tinged with gray? reasoned Mr. Cook. Just a word of advice. Although you have the earlier start you will have to be careful for an. other member of the board has been seen around the school building calling on the teachers. A word to the wise is sulfficient. The Alumni Association is prou d to have a member of the Class of 1918 serving the community so well and capably as Mr. Cook is. He has gained a reputation for his splendid work and broad-mind- ed ideas. Such people are an asset to every school. Three cheers for Mr. Cook! We hope he stays with us always. We wonder lf anyone could serve others in more lines of activity than J. Louis Buss, a. mem- ber of the Class of 1921, and the youngest members of our Board of Education. Many and varied were future while still in school, such a career as is opening the predictions off his but no one imagined for him at present. We were always sure he would be a farmer, and that he is. ln addition to the duties off assessor last time questioned his motive, learned what it was. this work he assumed year. No one at that but since we have His latest venture is selling life insurance for the Des Moines Life and Annuity company. Wasn't he clever to engage in a business th-at enables one to find out 'how much property an individual has so he can follow up with a policy valued at several thousands for the unsuspecting victim? We are wise now. However, when a person proves his skill in working successfully at such diversified tasks the alumni not only echoes the praise that is offered by the entire community, but extends a cordial hand in congratulation and thanks for upholding the Alma Mater's sincere faith and confidence that it hopes to find living in every graduate of Dow City. In that famous metropolis of the world. New York City, a large hotel conspicuously displayed a huge sign reading Open all night. A few feet farther on a restaurant matched the -hotel sign with one that read, We never close. Sandwiched in between tlhe two was a small shop owned by Sam Long, who would not be outdone. S0 he painted a sign across t-he front of his establish- ment as follows, Me wokiee too. In flhis community we have another person who can't be outdone whether you are telling stories. farming, directing school affairs, or what not and that it ........ we'll let you guess. Who might be found relating the following incident to a group? So your name is George Washington, mused the old lady. Dow Cihg Alumni Annual 8 Yessum. replied the colored boy. I'll bet you try hard to be like him, don't you? Like wlho7' 'Like George Washington. 'A'h kain't help bein' lak George Washington 'cause dats who I is. Or you might hear this. It was along a. beautiful stretch of the Lincoln highway and the telephone line was in the hands of repalrmen. A lady was driving, when of a sudden she spied the men climbing the telephone poles. Elmer, just look at those men! she exclaimed, Don't they think I ever drove a car before? Now you have guessed whom I am speaking of -Elmer Riddle of course. He is the same jolly, steady-going, dependable Elmer that t'he older alumni members knew. and that the younger ones have been glad to become acquainted wit-h. Mr. Riddle holds the honor nf being next to the oldest member of the board in point of years of ser- vice. This speak well of the high position he holds ln the confidence and esteem of the community. Going down the street today, whom did I meet upon my way, but Mrs. Br.ll. W'ho's she? you ask -now don't be dumb- I know you know her welig for if you're ever pasing by, - Come in and talk a spell,' is sure to come from her front door. And then you'll see her: with a dog, or dust rag, or a broom, a laughin and a smllin', maybe cleanin' up her room -for club. And you'll go in and sit a while, and talk, and tell her all you know. She'll comment upon the scandal, and say she doesn't think lt's so -or else she'll laugh and slap Doc on the back, and say it is too bad-and that our teachers are the best we ever had. After you have talked and talked, and feel that you must go, even if you hate to leave, and do lt kinda slow-she'll tell you to come back again, just stop ln anytime. and -that she likes what- ever you're doing, she surely thinks lt's fine. Now, do you refmember her? President of the Board, de- termined, helnful, cheery, and interested in all, and if you're needing help, she'll answer every call. After exchanging confideces, I went on down the street, and talking with some ladies iunmarrie tl whom shall I chance to meet, but Edwin Poltevln? He was telling how he used to jump, and skate, and flirt and run-he wasn't just so terribly slow, and they -had heaps ot fun. Those were sure the good old days, but he aid he's modern too, and can understard a lot of things, from a teacher's point of vlew. He's the new one on the board: he tells just all he thinks, argues, talks and pleads: from duty never shrinks. One more word, I'd like to add, this is what he promised me. lt's really pretty bad. Just tell me. now I will not tell, no-not a soul- that's it? Well, well, well! ! But then, he did and now, I'm even, Mr. Poitevin. Zeta Clothler 022.3 Bu lDaq of Suqqeshon We wonder why the financial end of the Alumni Aslsorelatslon could rot be taken care of by each mem- ber paying dues ranging from fifty to seventy-flve cents per year payable January 1 or soon after. This would entitle those and only those paying their dues a copy of the annual and would at the same time give the otflcers and publication staff a basis on which to work. 4 Right now on account of the cost of publication we wonder how much material we have gleaned for t-his year's annual will of necessity need to be dis- carded to keep it down within our means. There is no reason why our annual s-hould no-t be bigger and better each year. Give us your idea. It would also help us greatly if those living ln remote places would notify us whenever they change their address. This would assist us ln compiling our directory to the very best of our ability. Just send any changes to our secretary, Mrs. Maude Lusk do Sons. Sure they will be taken care of properly. We think it would be a good thing if the news editor of the annual could be selected now for the ensuing year. He could then be on the lookout for any news items concerning the alumnus. By wait- ing until the end of the year many items of interest to our members are forgotten or overlooked. Why couldn't someone write an account of our 1929 banquet soon for publication in our next an- nual? We believe it would be easier to write a full report while it is still fresh in our minds and we are st-ill in the spirit of fellowship. Cfhe Facultq Mr. Evans came to us from Mondamln, Iowa.

S. basket ball squad of 1928-1929, under the excellent coaching of Daryl Pendergraft played one of the hardest schedules ever made for any of our teams. Three of last year's regulars formed a nucleus for a quintet whic-h fought its way through eighteen games, winning two-thirds of them. Captain Richard Crandall, playing his last season for D. C. H. S. proved to be about the best guard ever playing for the Orange and Black. Rich was a good offensive man, with lots of fight, big enough to stand the knocks and fast enough to cover lots of territory. He was picked as captain of the first all tournament team at Denison. George Alexander played center throughout the year. Alex was always right on his toes, ready to get t-he tip off even from bigger men. He was high point man for the team this year. During the three tournament, games, Alex scored 72 points. He was center on first all tournament team. George Scott was the fastest man on the team and has made himself known in this district as a good dribbler and a guard who always had plenty of pep and fight. Scotty was as a good a man at guard as he was at forward and his bulldog determination to go down the floor seldom failed him in a set up. He also was chosen on the first all tournament team. Junior Glassburner was able to hold high scor- ing opposing centers and guards to very few points Glassy was one of the best defensive forwards in this part of the state. Jerry Butterworth did not play the first of the season but he deveolped into a dependable guard. In the tournament he proved to be made of first team material. T-he first five men go off this year. Major Anderson and Dan HOWOFIII have been elected co- clap-tains of next year's squad. Maje was a depend- into a game when grit. His playing able forward who always went he was needed with plenty of helped the team a number of times. Dan played first Soldier game guard. Anyone who saw the knows that Dan has the fight in him. We will look for mote of it next year. Ancil Chamberlain playing used in several games, he played remarkably well for a freshman. his first year was Besides these three, next year's squad will have Jimmy Houlilian, a big boy who should develop into a classy center. Burton Cook and Tom Sharp who are inexperienced but willing to learn, and Donald Cramer, a good floor man who got into the game a few times this year. The Orange and Black climaxed t-he season by winning the sectional tournament at Denison. March 1 and 2. Dow 'City drew a bye the first round, de- feated Schleswig in the second round by a score oi 44 to 18. In the semi-finals they met Bayard, de- feating them 33 to 15. In the finals they defeated Early 36 to 21 in one of the fastest games of the tournament. This year is the first year our boys have won a tournament. A shield, the reward for their hours of practice, may be seen in t-he high school as- sembly. Tlfe track team won the county field and track meet at Denison May 3. At Tarkio, Mo., they placed tlwird in a tri state meet May 4. Alexander mentinn in a meet at Carroll April won honorable 20. T-hey are entored in two more meets, Carroll on May 11, and at Council Bluffs on May 18.

Almost all the faculty were new, and after we had gotten acquainted with them and had registered we ad- journed for the day. Next came the freshman initiation. We were all inititated in due course but the main event of the evening was T-he Dance of the Nymphs by Bessie Berry and George Alexander. On coming into high school we gained LaVere Harris, Anna Chamberlin, Margaret and Edward Burke, Walter Mlchfaelson, Howard Wingrove. Some of the interesting events taking place in our freshman year was the stealing of the domestic sceince girls candy by some of the dignified basket ball boys. T-he girls served the mothers to a dinner in the domestic science room. The boys had a grand display of the things they made in manual training. On entering our sophomore year we lost LaVere Harris, Doris Price, Howard Wingrove, Jerry But- terworth, Margaret and Edward Burke, Willard Laird, Dora Paze, and Lola Stout, an-d gained Helen Wilson. The boys entered track and some of the girls in the class served for the alumni and Junior-Senior banquet. In our junior year we lost Ruth Fishel, Walter Miclmelson. and Harold Hansen. During this year we had the play The Whole Town's Talking of which Alex was the star. Next came the Junior-Senior banquet. We worked nearly a month getting our decorations ready. We had it fixed like a Japanese Garden. Scotty was toastmaster and all toasts were given about Flowers. At the beginning of this year our first great event was initiating the freshman and new faculty. Mr. Try as we have seen the rest of the year as well as then makes a perfect baby. After that we ordered our class rings. Next came parties by the rest of the classes of Dow City High sc-hool who did their best at entertaining the rest of us. Then we ordered our announcements and cards. Then of course we celebrated Sneak Day by going to Lincoln, Neb., by the way of Blair. We waited for the ferry for about an hour and when we finally got it they took 82.25 of our money. Mr. Try aid, I see right now we'll go back by the bridge. . Well then Richard and this Chevy got stuck and first aid from the rest of the boys was needed but we finally got to Omaha. After a class meet- ing, we decided to go on to Lincoln. staying there about t-hree hours. We lost Esther and Besse and finally discovered them at the ten cent store buying beads. . We came back to Omaha about 5:30, had dinner and went to a show, arriving home at 12 that night. We stlll have Commencement, play and bacca- laureate, then we leave Dow City High School for- GVGT. 6 Dow Cilq Alumni Annual Grades Dorothy Jackson comes to us from Council Bluffs, Iowa.

Dear Alumni Friends: Mr, Walters, when asking me to prepare an article for the Annual, very tactfully reminded me that twenty-five yea's had passed since I. wit-h five others, graduated from the Dow City High school. To the three members of the lClass of '04 who a e now livinig, the memory of t-hat eventful evening, when we so vallantly tried to please Miss Newman in the delivery of our oratl-ons, ls always tinged with sorrow as that was the last time we were per- mitted to be together. Our school then bzasted of four grade teachers, a principal and superintendenlt, with an enrollmenbdof abou't thirty-five in High school. In '02 a '03 we had been advanced to a twelve grade school and the subject of Latin was lntr0duced. To the Class of '04 caime the distinc- tion of being the first to study Caesar. Our p'-es. ent building, with which you have become familiar through t-he columns of the Annual, is one of which we are justly proud. The enrollment this year is eighty-eight-which is a somewhat lower number than for the last few years. The building IS ver! well equipped in most respects, but we hope some day to have a fund from which we may draw and purchase a supply of silverware and dlSl1BB adequate for the serving of the banquets. Has any alumnus a surplus of the necessary coin? I think the Class of '04 originated the Sneak Day. We fllled luncn baskets and started to walk to the woods--but fortune did not smile upon us- and we 'were compelled to return home--before lunch-in a driving rain. A quarter of a century has elapsed-and how different we find conditions. The Class of '29 having gained permission of the school board and accompanied by their sponsor, Mr. Try, sneaked away viia auto to Linco.n, Neb. There they visited the University, back to a show in Omaha-then home, tired, happy and full of pleasant recollections of a day well spent. If we tnink former days are better than the present- look out-the danger is that the fault may lie with- in ourselves. We may not have progressed and may be left behind in the onward malch. We re- member the good of those days, but a kind provi- dence obliterates trying ordeals from our memory. Along with the added advantages of our improved educational system, comes greater responsibilities to our youth-that of sorting the worth while from the frivolous in education and recreation. And just -here the athletic work, proper ly supervised, wields a great and lasting influence, teaching fair playband clean living. The chronicles of the achievements of our different athletes you will find ln your Annuals. Do not we who are older de- mand more in the way of recreation than did ou' parents? It is the privilege and duty of every parent to co-ope ate with the faculty in the edu: cational, social and athletic life of the student body. Our local P. T. A. is becoming an import- ant organzation in bringing th's to pass. It is through this co-operation that the foundations fora well balanced life may come to the student. Sometimes it may seem that our old tried friendships are relegated to second place when we form new acquaintances-abut generally we come back with more understanding in our hearts, to the friends of our youth. Some of the alumni spent such an interest'ng afte'noon last summer with Sylvia McColl Zabilka '08. She sent word to a friend that she would be in town for a day and would be pleased to greet her old friends. She is naturally a good conversationist, and given an im- mense subjeclt-that of sever-al years spent as a missionary in India-she held us spellbound for the akfternocn. Not to many come such opportuni- ties as have come to her. Mr. Crandall, who joined the association as an ln law in '08, and myself are happy that this year another of our children Rich will be added to the alumni roll. Five years f om now-if we are still in this community-our two youngest will have finished high school and we will have a complete family circle. With best wishes for happiness to all members of the alumni. Winnie Wiggins Crandall, '04. Dow Citq Alumni Annual 7 Basket Ball Scores Dow City ............ 22 Alumni .....

George Alexander is a good athlete. Football, basketball. baseball and track have all felt his prowess. He stars whezever you put him. In track -his records are spectacular. Tnink of the fellow who can run th 'ee heats of a 100-yd. dasn, three heats of 220-yd dash, a 220 as anchor man on relay, throw Javelin and put sho-t and be a consistent winner and record breaker at every one. He is a real athlete. He has been high point man at the following relays this spring: Carroll Relays. Tarklo Tri-State Meet, Tarklo. Mo., Woodbine Dual Meet and Crawford 'County meet. 'He -has been high point man in this county for tlze last three years. He runs 100 yards in 10 seconds flat. He broke the 100-yard record at Tarklo, Mo., which has stood for fourteen years. He can throw the javelin 154 feet, run 220 yards in 23.4 seconds and run 440 yards in 52 seconds. It wlll be a long time before Crawford County forgets the performances of Alexander on track, on diamond and in gymnasium. George is the son of Harold l'BuzzJ Alexaniler of the Class of 1906 wro by the way if we are not mistaken are the first father and son to belong to our Association.

ALUMNI BANQUET '28 QBy Martha Winn '25, Hello, Alice! Where'd you get the spiffy frock? Why so classy? . J 't0h, 'I simply had to have ,something for the Aluml Banquet, so I blowed myself for this rag. And was I glad I did lt? Yes, siree! For everyone was dressed to the limit-regular ravlshing gowns, slippers, etc.,-men dressed in new suits-a regular style show. But that wasn't gall, don't t-hink for a minute. The banquet was the it of the moment. Wanna hear about it? 4 iR3.V8 on! I'm settled for a good twenty mln- utes with these blame fingernails and can't talk any- how. Besides, we never have aluminum banquets at home. We were all washed in tin tubs when we were young. Y Alumni, foolish, not aluminum. And we wouldn't think of not having a banquet. Everyone gets to see everyone else whom they haven't seen for ages, or at least since the last one, and if you don't know them all, you'can at least talk about their pretty clothes and maybe get an idea to make over your old black like I did last year.

LETTERS FROM FORMER GRADUATES San Jose, Calif., April 10, 1929. Mr. William T. Walters, Dear -Classmate '06: - Your letter in this morning's mail asking me for a contribution to the annual finds me in a very rare mood. Just the other' day my wife fNette Wiley '07J and I were' talking about the days that used to be as we very often do. for to us there ,is something very much in common concerning ourfhigh school days. Nette often reminds me of our little romance about that time and of course we were not the only ones. It kind of runs in' the Wiley family, tRoss and Althea. f-or instance.J We sure would like to be with you this year and meet all the Old Grad and faculty and play Pig in tie Parlor with Professor Prather. As you know we have been In San Jose since 1920 and of course are confirmed usual and un- usual Californians. But we do like int here in San Jose which is only twenty miles from Standford University, the home of President Hoover. We had the pleasure of attending his acceptance speech last August and also sitting with the Stan- ford student body the day he attended the Santa Clara vs. Stanford football game. - w mm, q g Dow Citq Alumni Annual 9 At the game the Santa Clara section fired a 2'1-gun salute with a toy pistol and sang the Corn Song for him. We attend all the football games we can get to handily being at the California vs. S-tanford game of 100,000 people and the Southern California vs. California of 65,000 and the Stanford vs. Washing- ton game of 50,000. We are only flfty miles from Frisco and forty- two from Oakland and thlrtysseven from the coast and llve ln the center of the Bay district and so we go plenty and can enjoy the wonders of California. I have been on the fire department since 1920. We have two little boys, Ad and Theron, 5 and 3 respectively and Elbert Goodard who graduated from San Jose N. S. last June. Elbert at the pres- ent time is recovering from a bad auto accident. Say Billy: How many of the boys of our time do you -suppose remember the football game we played with Misouri Valley H. S. and they run In Pip Cools of Nebraska and that big giant from Fort Dodge that run over Professor Kles and knocked him goofy. We sure did take some beating that day. But we will never forget that game we played with Coon Rapids that ended 5 to outweighed 0 in defeat. As you know we were about twenty to the man but we put up a whale of a game and had all the crowd with us. If you remember at about that time we trimmed Denison in nearly everything. track, football, and baseball, and even the girls cnould Out Razz? fthem. Of course we could talk all day recalling the Old Times and H. S. events and then not tell half. Nette and I send Greetings to the Class of 1929. Also our best wishes to the classes of 1906 and 1907 and Professor Kies and Mrs. Watson nee Miss Newman. Your old classmates '06'. R. H. Flshel. Letters From Our Alumni Willard, Col-orado, April 12, 1929. Dear Mr. Walters: I am very glad to send greetings to the Class of 1929 and would like to be at t-he graduation if I can find it possible. There lsn't much to tell about myself except that I have been science instructor and coach of the Willard High School for the past two years. My boy.s basket ball team won the county championship cup last year and the county tournament cup this year, w-hile my girls' team won the position of run- nerslup in the county for both years. It makes a fellow feel that he has accomplished something after all. I can remember the time when I used to wonder what a teacher did with their spare time and now I have found out. What I thouglht would be an easy poslt'on has turned out to be one of t-he most nerv-e-racklng jobs I ever tackled. The teacher doesn't have any spare time to waste. Almost everv evening is spent in some klnd of school activity and the work never seems to be done. The worst feeling comes when your team has tied for the county cham- pionship and then an extra period has to be played. One walks around ln circles with a sick feeling ill the region of his stomach. But the contact with youth makes it all worth while. There is no product of nature that is more interesting than the growing high school boy or glrl. Each has his or her individual differences that makes what they are. I've learned more about the reasons I had for disliklng teachers than I could have in any other way. For the benefit of the Class of 1922 and the Alumni Directory, I am announcing that I wlll be at North Bend, Nebraska, as coach and instructor for the coming year. Success to the graduating Class of 1929. Lynn D. Talcott, '22. . Omaha, Neb., Tuesday, April 16. 1929. Dear Willie: When I received your letter and discovered its contents, I wondered why you should select me from Class of '14, to contribute to the annual. Surely there must be otlfers from the class whose exper- ience since graduation, are much more thrilling to relate. But since I have done very little for the alumni fend pemhaps that is the very reason I have been askedll shall not refuse your request. When I ,realize that it was thirteen years ago I came to Omaha to become a shining light, it seems impossible yet many thing have happened since then. I left Dow City in the fall of 1916. entering Van Sant's School of Business and after finishing the course, took my first stenograpohic position with the Bell Telephone Company. From there I was trans- ferred to the Western Electric Company where I remained for three years. Looking for new fields I procured a position with the K-B Printing Company and was employed there until, as you remember, Bernice was taken from us during the flu epidemic, following the World War. I went back to Dow City where I remained for a month or more and upon my return to Omaha was married to Walter Finch, pur- chasing agent for Swlift and company. Many joys have come to us as well as sorrows and we have felt life, thus far, has been kind. We have two children, a girl and boy, of whom we are very proud we have many friends and ac- quaintances: and good health has now come to us all and surely this should be ample. It is most fitting, I presme at this time. to send my best wishes to the Class of 1929 and, as I have a nephew, George Alexander, graduating, I am the more serious in wrlshing them well. To my own Class of 1914, as well as the entire alumni I send greetings. Sincerely, Besse Alexander Finch, '14, 3060 So. 31st St eet. fo Dow Citq Alumni Annual Alpena, S. D.. 1 April 28, 1929. To All the Dear Friends and Alumni of the Dow City High School: When William Walters, editor-in-chief of the alumni annual for 1929, wrote asking me for a con- tribution I thought, Well I simply can't write any- thing worth while. Then I thought of the many letters and all the news which I have read and en- joyed through the annual these many years and I missed it the year it was not published. so I am writing from the heart tonight when I say Thank You to everyone who hasmade the Dow City Alumni Annual possible from year to year. First of all I want to send greetings and very best wishes to the Class of 1929 and welcome you to our Alumni Association. ' Next I want to send greetings to all the mem- bers of my old Class of 1907. So fa-r as I know our ranks have not been broken by death. As I think of each one and call you by name I think of the many happy and busy times we had together in our old high as lt used to be. Then my mind wanders to our dear Miss Newman and Professor Kies and I wish very much that I could see you all and talk of high school days. I should have liked to have seen Daisy Robinson Householder when she was visiting in Dow City this spring. .Since graduating in 1907 .I have taught school for seven years ln Iowa, 'South Dakota and o.ne year in Idaho. . I came to South Dakota with my folks about eighteen years ago and have resided in Dell Rapids, Bradley and Alpena. I think South Dakota a great state with its wonderful climate and vast resources. 'I love my home and spend a great deal of time in lt. My husband and I take great comfort and delight ln our small daughter, Elizabeth Ann, born last September. We spend quite a lot of time doing church work, singing in the choir, teac-hing classes in the Sunday School and I have had a class the past two years in the Week Day Religious School. X Our town is la small one, but we like. the people and have spent many happy, busy and interesting days here. I often wonder about Mrs Heath and Mrs. Royce. Surely would like to hear from them or about them some timej They were very good to me when I stayed in thelr home when I first started to. high school. Many pleasant faces pass before me as I think 'ol' those high school days and there are many peo le D I could thank for making my life better and happier. Perhaps some day I may be able to attend one of the alumni banquets and meet many of you face to face. With apologies to Wi'liam D. Nesbit I can't help but write these words as they come to my mindz' ' Your school and my school! ' I And. oh how much lt means, In your life and my life, To recall our school day scenes. - ' Q With the very best of wishes to you all and your families, I remain ever true to our old Alma Mater. . , Sincerely, Alfreda Gloe Page '07. Waterloo, Iowa, April 29, 1929. Dear Editor: ' , My experience as a writer is rather limited, so I hope you will not be disappointed if this letter doesn't come up to your expectations. You cannot expect a very great manuscript from a dumb sock like me. You asked me to 'give an account of my- self for the past few years. Here is the confession: I have spent the greater part of my time since leaving high school, at Iowa State College studying a mechanical engineering course. As a college, I can- not recommend Iowa State too highly. At present Dow 'City hasta good representation there, and I hope some of the Class of '29 will enter next fall. I con- sider my time at Iowa State well spent. ' I have not been fortunate enough to spend all of my time in college, but have had to drop out sev- eral times on account of being broke. I am out again this spring quarter. H-owever, I will return to school again next fall. and if some professor doesn't interfere I will get my degree next spring. At present If am working in the engineering depart- ment of the John Deere Tra.ctor Co. and find the work very lIlt8 6S'l'.l1Il2 and agreeable. If a person doesn't do much, lt does not take him long to account for- what he -has done. I have accounted -for all I have done since I left Dow City in a few sentences. l I would like to attend the Alumni banquet this spring, but I'm afraid i-t will be an impossibility. Be sure to send me an annual. ,The annual and a chain letter which our class has, is about the only means I have of finding out what D. C. H. S. Alumni are doing. ' ' Extending my heartiest congratulations to the Class of '29, and wishing you all the best of luck, I remain. X Q A Yours Very Truly, I M Merlin Hansen. 503 W. First Street, -...., Gravity, Iowa, , April 22, 1929. Dear Al'umni 'and Friends: I will try and do my little part for the annual thisyear as the editor asked for a letter. Since women who do work, not as maids but as wives and mothers, are not recognized by U. S. cen- sus as being occupied one sometimes feels that a farmer's wife hasn't anything to do or write about. I' think though there ls much to be done. We live on a 'rented two hundred acre farm eight miles northwest of Gravity, and are about twenty miles from the state line of Missouri. How- ever we were not far enough south to escape' the cold winter and snow. The seasons here are about two weeks earlier than in central Iowa, this is especially notlceablefin the tall. This spring there doesn't seem to be any beginning for field work still one inust he able to look beyond the dark days when the rain comes ,down endlessly and see the loveliness just waiting to come. Dow Citq Alumni Annual if Our two girls have just finished their third and first year in school and are ready to enjoy their summer vacation. Their greatest attractions be- ing a baby brother and a Shetland pony, who has her ups and downs and many lessons to be learned. One like to think that children are the strongest bonds in a home, though in these days it would al- most seem they are not. But I am writing more particularly of those who have no little ones to bind them. There are-golden opportunities for most of us who live in the country in winter. Hours in which we may lay aside our material work and renew ac- quaintances with the greatest men and women of the world through their writings: hours when we travel in many lands, among many people to learn that the human heart knows much the same long- ings, hopes and ambitions. As I gather eggs and feed little chickens, I pause and look across the country toward the dis- tant town. Hungry calves and lambs call to me but above their songs ring the words of Emerson: Thou true land lord! Sea lord! Air lord Who could be more favored than me of the wide spaces? I should enjoy being with the alumni and the new members this year, but the lat-e season made that thought vanish. X . Wishing the annual and Dow City High school success. Yours Truly. Mrs. Balbina Potter Brady. Mercedes, Texas. I April 30, 1929. Mrs. D. E. Bremser, Dow City, Iowa. Dear Allie: . Your letter by air just received and I'm glad to respond to your request asking for a contributlen t0 our 1929 Annual. It has brought afresh pleasant memories of the dear old school days of long ago and my graduation of '99 and too of 192-4 when I had the pleasure og seeing my daughter, Inez graduate from the dee-I' old school. - I now live in the Magic Valley of South Texas, near the banks of the lower Rio Grande where Uncle Sam meets Mexico, and flowers bloom the year around. the statefy palm branches are ever wafted by the soft cooling breezes of the Gulf of Mexico. In our Magic Valley we have miles and miles of paved roads, lined with palms and ever blooming oleanders and groves of o-ranges, grape- fruit,'beaut1ful fields of waving corn, cotton and vegetables of almost all conceivable variety, cities every few miles with magnificent schools and churches. I now have two doughters in the Edin- burg I.n-dependent High school. This indeed, is as the name applies, Magic Valley, and is a veritable paradise. Ore of our old classmates of '96, A. J. Mc'Ca'l,i': now in the Valley and has spent many years pioneer- ing, the result of which is seen on every hand by the beautiful homes, citrus groves and the develop- ment of our cities throughout the Valley. With our water port at Point Isabelle and air- port at Brownville and 'a massive net work of rail- roads makes our Magic Valley one of the most desir- able places in which to live. Wit-h best wishes to yourself and greetings to all alumni. :Sincerely Yours, Anna Walters Nicholeson. Q 1552 Arthur Ave., W Chicago, Ill Dear Alumni: This is a beautiful morning here ln Chicago. 'Spring has come to the city and made wonderful changes. Long rows of apartment houses lose that stiff, lonesome look as the beautiful sh-rubbery grows to make things look more comfortable and home- like. Street after street of cottages make one real- ize t-hat there really are home lovers in such a big city. Q Of course there are the sort of people one reads about, the slum element, the gunmen, the painted shop girl. the old men and women whose lives haven't been lived as they should have been, and all the other story types: but here in this great city one also finds folks like he knew at home. Really people are the same-there are so many more here that one needs to look at all types instead of pick- ing out one and saying, There's the man of Chi- cago for you. The people I meet-in my work are friendly peo- ple, for the most part they are kind and consider- ate. After one has found the nice people and has made some friends he discovers thart although things are strange and different, home is where one and one's work are. If any of you are ever in Chicago while we are here, come and see us: will go to see Fleld's Mus- eum, tfhe Art Gallery, the Zoos in the big parks, the great Flower Gardens and Conservatories and all the interesting places Chicago boasts of. , , ' il hope the Alumni banquet will be the biggest and best ever this year.

J Dear Friend Allie: ' Your air-mail letter of request arrived at thiS destination this afternoon. You will possibly be surprised at this address and this delay but t-he address explains t-he delay. I was surprised at the short time your letter was in transit because of the lack of a street address for Berkeley. Your letter CI received it this afternoon about 12:30 o'clock,J is post marked at Dow City, 12:30 p. m. April 29.

Three days for such a trip when one day is Sunday ls surely very rapid transit, don't you agree? Well, anyway, the reqest is nere and lt has precipitated such a flood of pleasant mem- ories about my boyhood associations in Dow City, that I am at a sheer loss as to the place to begin and I also feel the lack of the sense of relative lm- portance of the memories as t-hey panorama before my mlnd's eye. 'Such great, GREAT, changes--children have become mnddle aged adults and assumed tne re- sponlbllltnes of homes, tamllies and private and public enterprises, the middle aged and active have passed to tne Great Beyond or they are impotent and retired because of age, a generation ot young people and children have been born and play upon the old spot-no, not the same old spot, for even the contour of the landscape has been c-hanged fthe old river dredged and its course changed, highways changed to new locations, old landmarks like bridges, trees and houses goneg new bridges, fine trees and modern homes and lnstltutlons in their placesl ln the past thirty-five years thirty-three of which have flltted past since my class graduated from the old four room frame structure we knew as the high school, the grammar school, the whole school. l could hardly believe my eyes when I visited old Dow City seven years ago and looked upon the new brick school building and the trees, the trees! l on the school ground, in the 'city park and around the town ln gene-ral.

Mrs. D. E. Bremser, Dow City, Iowa. Dear Alma: Yours via air mail at hand, though two days is not such swift flying after all ls it? My greetings to the Dow City Alumni this time come from the Hub of the Automobile World. Thi-x ls my second year of teaching ln Detroit: and though I have not yet become personally acquaint- ed with Henry Ford nor with the General Motors, I have found most delightful people here. My work is ln Southeastern High school over on the east side. near Belle Isle in the Detroit river. This island has been made into a most beautiful city park connected by a splendid bridge with the clty proper. Michigan is very progressive along educational lines and every Detroiter feels that he is a joint owner in Michigan University. This makes school conditions of the best. I wish I might bring each one of you some of the beautiful wild flowers in our woods just nowg the hepatica, the wee May flower, and the fragrant trailing arbfutus. I do wish the best of success for the coming year for each and all of the Alumni, old and new. Sincerely, Jean W. Rae, 2619 Cass Avenue. Tynsborough, Mass. May 8, 1929. Dear Alumni of D. C. H. S.: I send greetings to one and all. I welcome with all the other members of the Association the Class of 1929. I am about to complete my fourth year's work In Boston University School of Theology. I have enjoyed my experience ln the East very much. Among the many places of interest which I have visited are the Bunker Hill Monument, Lexington Commons, Concord and the Concord Bridge, Ply- mouth Rock, the Old North Church, Provincetown and the White Mountains, If you ever have the opportunity to travel in the eastern part of our country I think you will find it well worth your while to do so. I am now the pastor of a Congregational chu-rch in this small New England village. I expect to leave here within a few months and make my way westward to take up my work in my chosen pro- fesslon. I wish it were possible for me to attend the Alumni banquet but since it is not, I wish those of you who can attend the very happiest evening of fellowship. Sincerely, Lauren D. Thomas, '18 Ft. Dodge, Iowa. May 9, 1929. Dear Alumni of D. C. H. S.: Another commencement time is drawing near, and no doubt all other alumni as well as myself, have been looking forward to receiving the 1929 Alumni Annual. Upon receipt of a letter from the Editor-in4Chief this week, I was thrilled by the thought that our annuals were ready for us, and that the letter must be a reminder to please re- mit. Upon investigating, however, I found instead, a request for a contribution to its pages. This finds me rather at a loss to know what to write. If I lived in the far west, or in the east, or some other remote section of the country, as do some of our alumni I might tell you of the delight- ful climate of California, the great industries of the east. But located as I am within ninety miles of the home town, with conditions, atmospheric and otherwise, much the same here as there, I fear. there is little of interest to write. However, I will say for myself, and I believe, for all other aluml living at a distance, that we en- joy the annual and appreciate the tireless efforts of those at home in keeping up this good work. For some of us it is the only time that we hear from many of our old school friends. It is with great interest that we read of the success of those who have gone-out from our Alma Mater into fields of service, be the calling great or small. It is 'gratifying indeed to see how the list of alumni grows-over three hundred now, I believe. and to find so many sons and daughters of early graduates among the number. Ft. Dodge has been our home now for eighteen years. We have always found it a pleasant place in which to live, and while it is not a large city- about 27,000 inhabitants-it is one of the fines-t of its size anywhere. We have a fine system of public schools, also a two year Junior College, which is fully accredited. This year we will graduate ten students from the college, and one hundred seventy from high school. The leading lndustry of Fort Dodge is the man- ufacture of gypsum products. such as plaster, plas- ter board, fi-re proof partition blocks, etc. Large deposits of gypsum rock are found here, and there are fine large mills engaged in its manufactu-re. Fort Dodge has been known as the Gypsum City as it is the largest producer of gypsum products in the world. ' Situated on the Des Moines River, there are many scenic spots and delightful drives in and near Fort Dodge. To tae south is the beautiful Dolllve-r Memorial Park, named for the late Senator J. P. Dolliver. Here are found deep ravines, lime stone and ciopperas beds, Woodman's Hollow, Bone- yard I-lollow , and the picturesque Prai-rie Creek. Not far from here is Wild Cat Cave. If any of you are planning a short motor trip this summer, we invite you to come to Fort Dodge. With greetings to you all, and good wishes for our Alma Mater. . Sincerely Yours.

I'n1 afraid I Would' object 'to writing this letter, as Mr. Walters requested, but lt ls so nice for 'the older members to be able to receive an annual and keep track of their classes as they soon drift so far apart. So I believe we should do our bit to help those that have the responsibility of printing the annual. We live in Dakota on a 480-acre farm, and it keeps us very busy but we farm much bigger farms here than they do there. We have prospects for a very good crop this year, if we have plenty of rain and sunshine. We are all well and happy, we have the nicest size family, two boys and two girls and of course we think they are some of Dakota's best kiddies. This country is very pretty. very level and lots of trees, lakes everything a person could wish for to have a nice home. This country is changing as every land changes. They do not raise as much small grain now, they are growing more corn and diversifying their farming. M-ost every farmer owns a tractor as the land is so level they can use them with such good advantage. In the fall we have thirtylone days of sport for the men, hunting pheasants wealthy men from many cities come to this country to spend their vacation. hunting, fishingand bathing They are killing off so many pheasants that they will be more strict with their laws. Wexget many fish, in the spring but we don't cane for them later in the season. We have one lake called Medicine Dake, it is peculiar, many people go there to bathe, for skin diseases they believe it heals 'many diseases it ha so many different minerals that vegetation will not grow around it. Your body has a white subsance all over lt after bathing. There are several alumni peoplehere around Clark, Mrs. John Smith, Mrs. Charles McHenry, Hudson McHenry Joe and myself. We all live within ten miles of each other and there are so many people here that we have heard of from down there, that we could have,a real Iowa celebration some time. ' The Black Hills is a beautiful place. Sometime when you plan a trip, you just take the trail to the Black Hills and I know you will think it worth while. We were there three years ago and such nice scenery. I never imagined it so pretty and when you get that far just go east awhile until you come to a sign Clark then call Joe Smlth's resl- dence and see what a welcome you will get as we are always more than glad to see anybody from home. Well in closing I don't think this letter is worth printing but if you have extra space you can fill ln with it. We are both planning on coming home for' the alumni banquet and are hoping to see a big crowd. I do hope the biggest banquet we have ever had. Yours Sincerely, Mrs. Joseph R. Smith. 14 Dow Cihg Alumni Annual Weston, Neb., May 7, 1929. Dear Alumnl Members: When I received Mr. Walters' request that I write to the annual I wondered what I could say that would be of any interest to others. I do wlsh to eictend my congratulations to the Class of '29. 'llhougfhts of their Commencement bring back the memory of my own eight years ago. How slowly time seemed to drag by when were tempted away from the class room. Now we find the duties of home and family involved upon us and we wonder w'here the time has gone. We are located about fifty miles west of Omaha ln a very beautiful part of the state. Our highways are good and we have a wonderful trip back to Iowa. The school here ls rather small but there are stlll the numerous school activities. The basket ball team played some good games and last fall the high school gave the operetta Polished Pebbles. I wonder how many of my classmates and others remember the hours of practice we put on lt bask home. Yes, it stlll seems home to a certain ex- tent even though we do build our homes in different parts of the country. We are going to spend this summer ln Iowa and both Cecll and I are looking forward to attending the banquet and renewing friendslhlps that were established during our school days. Slncerely,.

Under the supervision ot Miss Kurtzweil, the faculty advisor, the paper has been successfully published semi-monthly. Some fine talent has been discovered in the high school grades. Original poems alnd stories, splen- did editorials and articles, apt illustrations and school news have made the Dow Cityzen a very ln- teresting little paper. It looks as though there will be plenty of material fortncomi-ng for the Alum-nd Annuals of the future. ln Illemoriam A feeling of sadness spread over the commun- ity and especially so to all alumni members, when it was learned that Horace Thomas of '14 had bbeen called upon to give up his wife, she passing away at the Lord Lister hospital upon April 6t1h. . 'The deceased was Helen Hastie of Indiantola. In the year 1917 she taught ln our high school and was loved and admired by all who knew her. She was a faithful and devoted -Christian being a mem- ber of the M. E. church from childhood. On January 1, 1921 she was married to Horace Tihomas. They resided on a farm here and at In- dlanola, later moving to Woodbine where the last three years 'have been spent. She was taken to the 'hospital at Omaha on April 4 where a baby son was born, but in spite of the best of medical skill, she passed away two days later. - Funeral services were held at Woodbine and the remains were taken to Indlanola for further services and burial. She 'had finished her allotted task on earth-but the memory of her many virtues will help her dear ones to carry on. Grace Thomas Chase of 1909 is helping to care for the baby boy. To Horace, We, of the alumni extend our deep- est sympathy and wish him to know that his joys are our joys and his sorrows our sorrows.
