Cruise. He remained under her sponsorship for two years. He then decided to spend a year in the Fairbank school. But the next year found him back again in the Dunkerton schools. He will graduate as the first class from the Dunkerton consolidated schools and the whole school is justly proud of him.

In this illustrious class were: Marvel Adams, Thomas Bond, Edward Gard- ner, Gladys Holdiman, Claire Lamb, Bernice Nesfield, Irene Penne, and Charles Penne, who finished the eighth grade together. At the beginning of our Freshman year we were joined by Clarence Leibert. Mrs. Pearl Cruise guided us safely through most of the intricacies of a Freshman year of 1 ligh School. September, 1919, found us back in school as Sophomores, reinforced by Floyd and Oscar Guyer, with Mr. Methfessel as principal. At the beginning of the second semester Mr. Methfessel resigned and was succeeded by Mr. Miller. September, 1920, found us back again as Juniors, except Clarence Leibert, Edward Gardner and Floyd Guyer. As our school has enlarged, we now have three teachers — Mr. Cottingham, Mrs. Cottingham, and Miss Vivian Stone. At the beginning of the second semester Mrs. Cottingham resigned and was succeeded by Miss Gladys Jensen. We, as the seniors of 1922, will be the first class to have the honor of graduating from the new Consolidated School. The Junior class is fully organized, with Bernice Nesfield as president, Marvel Adams as the vice president, and Thomas Bond as secretary and treasurer. S)ur iEitijIislj ©rarljrr We have one English teacher. We shall not want another. She maketh us write book reviews and essays without number. She delivers to us many speeches. She causes us much worry. Yea, tho’ we study much, we make slow progress, For we do not understand her. Her zeros and lectures discomfort us. They putteth our heads in a whirl. But she careth not. Honest to goodness, Rather than endure all her assignments, we would prefer to dwell in the house of ignorance forever. Amen. — The Juniors.

Metfessel, who was instructor the first semester, and Creel A. Miller the last. The roll call was as follows: Mary Rodgers, Alice Owen, Morton French, Norris Clark, Roger Smith, Russell Brant, Clair Barlow, Charles Dundon, Bernice Goff, Fern Stover, Fay Bartholomew, Melvin Goff, Alice , West, Grace Jefferson, Harold Owen, Martha Wetzlich, and Dorothy Greelis. During the year some pupils dropped out, others moved away. At the beginning of our Sophomore year we were minus five pupils: Charles Dundon, Fern Stover, Martha Wetzlich, Harold Owen, and Bernice Goff. Two pupils were added: Clarence Liebert and Mary Carroll. We are expecting a fuller history at a later date.

They were joined by seven others from adjoining districts. Mary Ackerman and Elsie Turner moved to Waterloo at the close of the first semester. Melba Dunkerton left our midst for California, where she resided through the winter months. Thelma Scott of Waterloo entered our class the first part of March. The Freshman class is honored because they haven’t had to remain after school for unprepared lessons but once.

We were soon informed that the only place that could be found for us was in the Baptist church basement. After we had been in the basement about two months, news reached us that a rural school building was being moved in. Our hearts were saddened when we learned that the tractor had broken that was moving the school house, but in about a week we saw the rural schoolhouse crawling slowly up the hill. Mrs. Peck was soon persuaded that it was her duty to move into the rural school building, and let us move into Pleasant Hill building. We were delighted to get on the school campus and were soon a happy and contented bunch, after we were settled. We were busy with our work but we are steadily looking forward to our next move, which will be into the new Dunkerton Consolidated School.

On Wednesday evening, the latter part of September, we left the school-house for a weiner roast in the woods. After “working up an appetite by playing games, we roasted our weiners and ate our supper, returning at dusk, very tired, but happy. Our Hallowe’en party furnished the opportunity to dress up as witches, ghosts, etc. Popcorn and apples were served. On November 8 we added a new member to our class. Ernest Allen, who had recently moved here from Bennington Township, placed his name on our Class Roll. Our Christmas Entertainment took the form of a Christmas Ladder. Everyone was remembered and the afternoon was spent in toasting marshmallows and playing games. On April 6th we had planned a picnic and weiner roast in the woods, but because of rain it was held at the schoolhouse instead. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves in spite of the weather. Miss Stone was a guest. We have organized a Friday Afternoon Club and a short Literary Program is given each Friday P. M. from 3:00 to 3:30.

But in about two months we were ruthlessly routed from our comfortable quarters and transferred to the small schoolhouse west of the High School. Then our troubles began all over again. On returning from our Christmas vacation we were very much surprised to learn that our teacher, Mrs. Peck, had become Mrs. McCoy. The first of February she resigned and Miss Mathes of Cedar Falls became our new teacher. We had a Valentine Box and Lincoln and Washington program. The program being enjoyed with all the grades in the Grammar Grade room.

As the teacher greets them they wonder If she dreads the year’s work to come. As the days and even weeks go by, They are asking one another why The school board doesn’t give them a rest, Since they have been doing their best, But soon their wish is granted, For they have gotten what they wanted — A Thanksgiving vacation — two days. November passed, followed by cold winds of December. Now their faces beam with joy, for they remember — They decide to stage a Christmas play, At which, they are very proud to say, T heir mothers are invited to see, After which they depart by twos and threes. Again they returned much refreshed After their (supposed to be) long rest. Winter comes and goes and with it the cold and snow, And spring comes in her glory, For which we all are not sorry. They count the weeks that remain, For summer will soon be here again. Alas! the day for parting is now here, No more voices will we hear, With books in their arms Out of doors they tun, As they bid farewell to their clasmates, dear, These words we hear: “Will we go here next year?’’ Paie twentfi-three Sfeabit rb0ol Sixth Grade Lavina Stewart Fifth Grade Kathryn Stewart Leo Sadler Fourth Grade Albert Sadler Third Grade Leonard Sadler Mary Sadler First Grade Beulah Dant Christine Stewart Lena Sadler John Stewart Henry Dant Those who have dropped since September: Elizabeth Smith, Thelma Smith, Frank Steffen, Stella Smith, Genevieve Sondag, Lucille Knowles, Anna Steffen, Margaret Stewart, Hazel Knowles, Walter Tompkins.

Our number was diminished by Alice, Leonard, George and Madalyn moving away. One sad incident of our school year was the taking of one of our number by death—Herbert Harn—in December. On November 24th the people of the district were entertained by a play entitled the Pilgrims, all pupils taking part. Our motto has been, “I’ll always do my best,” and we hope in future years to use it as well as we have this year. Are we planning a weiner roast? When? Where?

U. G.’s literary society was organized in September for the purpose of furnishing entertainment once every two weeks on Friday morning. Some very good programs have been put on. Besides the High School talent, some outside talent has been furnished. Among those who have helped us with the programs are Mrs. Parks, who gave a chalk talk. Mr. Parks played a violin solo. Mrs. C. C. Brown sang a solo. Miss McIntosh played a piano solo and Mr. Brant favored us with a cornet solo. We feel that our book would not be complete without extending our sincere thanks to these people who have been so kind to help us with our programs. The last half of the year some great composers have been studied and one production of the composer played at each program. Among the composers that have been studied are Mozart, Mendellsohn, and Ruben-stein. The music furnished by the outside talent were productions from these great composers. We feel that our literary societies have not only been a source of good entertainment, but a good help to all those who have taken part in them. All the programs have been carried on in good parliamentary law. Marvel Adams, President.

On January 11, 1921, the J. U. G.’s challenged the H IPs for a debate. I he subject was “Resolved, That lcoholic liquors are more destructive to mankind than war.” The H II Society elected Elmer Meyers, Thomas Bond and Bernice Nesfield to debate for them. These debators chose the negative side of the debate. The debators for the J. U. G.’s were Oscar Guyer, Mary Rodgers, and Russell Brant. The debate was given February 4, 1921. The judges were Mrs. Davis, Rev. Brown, and Rev. Faris. The decision was given 2-1 in favor of the negative team. The H IPs gave the Christmas program, which was a play entitled, “Christmas at Skeeter Corner.” This was the only play given exclusively by either society this whole year. The play represented a country school of fifty years ago. The scene opens with a rehearsal of the Christmas program to be given that afternoon. Mary Carroll most successfully played the part of a country teacher of long ago. Elmer Meyers demonstrated to the audience that even a dignified Senior could lay aside the cloak of solemnity and assume the role of one of the most humorous and ridiculous characters. Elsie Cummings, although a mere “Freshman,” surprised us with a rare bit of talent in this play. Robert Davis, of the seventh grade, took the part of little Johnnie and made a record for himself as a promising member for one of the societies in 1922. We, the PI IPs, thank the people who have helped us in our programs. Bernice Nesfield. Page twenty-nine . rfjnol Calendar SEPTEMBER Monday, 6. The melancholy days have come, the saddest ot the year?

The basket ball team was unable to practice except for two or three weeks in the fall on account of having no indoor gymnasium. The team was unable to practice for any of these games and the scores of the different games showed that Dunkerton has some real basket ball material. A new school is being built and we are sure that our boys can compete with the best of the surrounding country. The team played four games during the basket ball season. The first game of the season was with Jesup. The Dunkerton team easily defeated Jesup in the first game of the season. This is saying a good deal for our team, as Jesup took second in the Cedar Valley Tournament. The second game of the season was with Dike. This game was at Dike and Dunkerton was defeated in a fast game. The defeat was due to the fact that our team was unused to playing on a floor. Rain prevented us from practicing on our court the week previous to the game. The third game of the season was at Jesup. The Dunkerton team had quit practicing about a month before the game. We were beaten by the team that was easily defeated by us earlier in the season. This game proved to us that we could not compete on an equal basis with other schools without practice. We played one more game with Fairbank there. This game was with the Fairbank town team and we defeated them by a very small score. This was one of the hardest fought games of the season. The first team players were Bond and Lamb, forwards; Clark, center, Barlow, Meyers and Brant, guards. The boys of the team played under a big disadvantage this year, but we are sure that we have the material here and will develop a very fast team with a gymnasium to practice in. Cottingham coached the team and demonstrated that he could develop a very fast team if given the equipment and material to work with. Page thirtfi-four tBasrlmll 1921 The baseball season opened in March with a good squad trying out for the various positions on the team. But it was our misfortune to have several good prospects who were inelegible. Due to this fact it was neces-sarv to draft a number of players from the eighth grade for the High School team. The material was mostly green, only four of the men having had previous experience, and these four only one season. They were Captain Lamb, O. Guyer, Brant and Bond. These men formed the nucleus around which to build the team. It, of course, was not expected that the team would be a championship team this year, but next year’s team and the years following that will have had the advantage of the experience gained in the heavy schedule planned this year. We lose only one man this year and therefore the prospects for a team next year are exceptionally good. Among the High Schools we play this year are Oelwein, Hudson, Dike, Orange, La Porte, Jesup, Hazleton, and Fairbank. Captain Lamb is probably the most outstanding star player on the team and well deserves his position. He is good any place on the diamond, but is depended upon to pitch in most of the games. 1 he boys never fear for the outcome of a game when “Sam” is in the box. He is also a dependable hitter. He has not yet met a pitcher from whom he could not get a hit. Here’s wishing him all success for himself and his team. Meyers has been the surprise of the year for the fans. Having had no experience before this year in baseball, he has developed into one of the Page thirty-five best on the team. He pitched a great game against Oelwein — his first time in the box — and he is expected to be better vet before the season is over. He plays short stop when he is not pitching and gets anything that comes between third and second. And he is considered the best base runner on the team. We lose Meyers this year and his place will be a hard one to fill. Page, the gritty little back stop of the team, was one of the men we took from the eighth grade. I le is little, but his grit and fight make up for his slight stature. I le started the season near the foot of the batting list, but when he received four good clean hits in the first two games the boys began to expect things of him. He is developing a good peg to second and not many batters run to first because he misses the last one. We expect a brilliant baseball career for “Mutt before he is out of High School. Guyer, the older, is one of our heavy hitters this year. He was one of the strongest batters last year also. I le is a sure fielder and he has shown that he knows a few tricks besides catching flies, too. Pooch” has a habit of playing second base and doing a little tagging on the side. Bond is another of our sluggers. He plays a good brand of ball at third or in the field. He showed himself to be on the job at third in the Hudson game. Tom thinks it a personal insult for a man to steal third when he is playing there and he plays his base accordingly. Not many try to steal from Tom the second time. If Tom were given the chance to practice that the other fellows have there would certainly be no better on the team. Brant was put in a new position for him this year. He did the catching last year, but was needed at first and has made himself invaluable to the team there this year. He has no fear of line drives, grounders, or base-runners, and is becoming one of the most consistent fielders of the team. We are glad that Brant will be with us for'two more years. Guyer, the younger, is another of our players from the eighth grade and he is one of the classiest little fielders that ever played a game of ball. He is on the jump as soon as a ball leaves the bat and is there waiting for the ball when it finally gets to him. He also plays a good game at third. We are surely fortunate in having him with us this year and are glad he will be with us four more years. Faris, our second baseman, is a favorite among the baseball fans of the community. He is small, but one of the headiest players on the team. He delights in stopping line drives that look like impossibilities to everyone else and he makes double plays like a professional player. He was also loaned to us by the eighth grade and we are not going to give him back. He also is a sure hitter and a good base runner. McNelus, our left-fielder, is so sure of catching anything that comes his way that the fellows would just as soon see a ball go towards his field as to have Sam” or “Punch” strike him out. If it is humanly possible to get it, “Russ” gets it. And he is no slouch at third, either. And he is among our best hitters, too. Bellmer has shown some good playing this year, although he has not had as much chance as some of the others. He plays as good a game as he can and is there with the fight all the time. We expect him to be a star player when he gets to High School. Paie thirty-six PaSe thntD-sefen Fay — The best way to remove freckles is to pry them off. A screwdriver may be used, but a chisel is better. Maeterlink is not a breakfast food; it is a hair tonic. Mary C. — To remove sunburn, take equal parts of a cup of grease and pumice stone. This is sure to work. She tried it. On Base Ball The Dunkerton boys started playing ball when there was snow on the ground. They played a very slippery and uncertain game then and still do. The boys never fear the outcome of a game when Sam is in the box. (Hazelton 8, Dunkerton 4.) Elmer is the fastest runner at school and was ready to demonstrate it, providing the Oelwein boys got rough. Mutt will be allowed to play ball with D. H. S. another year if he does not break any more bats. Pooch — Me keeps the grass short by eating it while in the field. Bond — A good batter, but as yet has no hits to his credit. Brant—All girls and young women are asked to keep on the opposite side of the field so that Russell can play ball. Morton — A good player, but we fear that he will be of no value when he becomes a freshman. Ilarlin — Mow he does love fast grounders. McNellis — IIis great ambition is to become a pitcher. Don — His favorite pass-time is catching flys. We hope the team lots of luck and feel sure that they will win most of these games. (Don’t take this for a joke.) Elsie C.: “What did I make in my algebra exam?” Miss Stone: “Mistakes.” We did not know M. A.’s picture when we saw it on account of a certain sign which reads: “Please re- move all powder and paint.” Elmer said that he never had his picture taken, with his arms around two girls. Mary C. said that she knows that Bonds are safe. Miss Jenson knew two Oscars. W-e wonder which one she liked the best? The Freshman grins, The Sophomore blows, The Junior growls, But the Senior knows. Miss Jenson, reading off economic grades: Marvel Adams—My name comes first. Miss Jenson — Yes, Adam began everything. Maria was going to be burned at Rogers’ house, but they extended the sentence. We cannot, as we have no more room. Spanish is a dead language, As dead as dead can be; It’s been the death of many. And now it’s killing me! Bernice N.: “The young lady married the young man and tried to transform him.” Melvin dreamed his watch was gone And his blood almost stopped flowing. Then he awoke to find it was not gone, But, horrors, it was going! Coming! Coming! Coming! One-act Tragedy! Miss Jensen’s Semester Spanish Exam. Featuring Well most everything. Wanted — More work for the Junior class to do. — Miss Stone. Page thirty-eight I'iU'as ®bat Jflmleh— The Jiggs believed they could beat the Maggies in the contest, but — I now give my word of honor to those that it may concern that you cannot sleep in school time instead of at night. — M. A. I firmly believe that it pays to stay short. — Roe Clark. The grammar grades believed that they could spell down the high school. I believe that M. R. and myself do not belong in the first Spanish class. —R- B. No one need try to tell or show us that we do not know it alF — Freshman Class. We have heard that the Senior class has become separated and part of it has joined the Junior class. We, the Senior class, wish to stop this wild rumor at once. — E. M. We hereby declare that you can not come late to school twice every day and get away with it. — C. B. and F. B. That we had Flazelton beat before we played ball with them. We firmly believed that we could compete with other schools in basketball games and win. Miss Jensen thought at one time that she could make everyone take Spanish. PICKED UP PASSING Senorita: As to your letter of this P. M., you said for me to ask someone else. Well! 1 can’t, and what is more, 1 don’t want anyone else. See? I don’t want to ask her. See? Well, as I said before, I can’t, because 1 don’t know where she is. See? What were your headlines? Dunkerton Advocate (what) minus or something of the such, waiting the an’s. Despedida, Senor. Fay Bartholomew is looking for a left-handed crank for his automobile. Claire Lamb would like to have fifty Spanish readers to read this week-end. Wanted — Someone to study for me while 1 sleep. — Clair Barlow. We all agreed that Oscar shook a wicked foot when he fell through the ceiling. To all the Freshmen who are in doubt whether to buy a nipple or teething ring, I would advise you to wait and see what Miss Jensen buys for Oscar. Prof. C. to Fay B.: “The seats in the assembly room are not rocking chairs and I want you to remember that.” The Sophomore class struck when in the eighth grade and some of them have not gone to work yet. — Prof. C. Little drops of whitewash Little dobs of paint. Make Marvel’s freckles Look as tho they ain’t. He who knows not and knows not that he knows not — he is a Freshman; shun him. He who knows not, and knows that he knows not — he is a Sophomore; pity him. He who knows, and knows not that he knows not — he is a Junior; honor him. He who knows, and knows that he knows —he is a Senior; reverence him. Paie thirty-nine CLAUDE B.
