Dunkerton High School - Raider Yearbook (Dunkerton, IA)

Text from Pages 1 - 72 of the 1922 volume:

Cbe Ifreriob for 19 Being the qear book compiled bq the Junior Class of the Dunkerton Consolidated School District Dunkerton, lou?a Published by the Class of 1923 (Our INpui Siirth rluml 6To Our Jdagnificent New Consolidated School whose greater High School spirit and whose promising benefits are anxiously awaited to be enjoyed, these pages of memories we happily dedicate. Three An Appreciation We led that this year book would not be complete without an expression of the gratitude we feel toward the men who have made our beautiful new building possible. If there is anyone who thinks that membership on the School Board is an office to be sought lor. especially during the construction of a building in such times as we have had, let him investigate the duties and privileges of School Board members before he gives voice to his thoughts. Of all the public offices there are, the office that costs the man who holds it the most is membership on the school board of a Consolidated School District during the construction of a new building. In the first place there is no salary attached. In the second place, it demands a great deal of time and money. Our School Board has spent in meetings alone since consolidation, time that totals considerably over a month and a half of ten-hour days. 1'his time is the time in actual meetings and does not take into consideration the time spent in inspection of other buildings and the trips to Des Moines and other places to inspect equipment. This time has been worth money to these men. I hey have to pay the same rate of school tax that anyone else does and besides that they have each donated over a month’s wages to the school. Anyone who thinks that it has been an easy thing tor a man to neglect his own work to give his time to the school and community and alter he has done the best he can, have people offer him nothing but criticism for his efforts in their behalf—well, a trial would soon convince that person otherwise. I he people in this district were extremely fortunate in their choice of Board members. All are men of proven ability. And they have been untiring in their efforts to give to the Community of Dunkerton a school that everyone is justly proud ot. We all know how well they have succeeded, but it is human nature to hold back praise until a man is in his grave. Consequently the encouragement and credit that the Board deserves has not been accorded them. So we, who have enjoyed the “fruits” of their labors, do realize what the School Board has done for us and for the Community and want to take this means of expressing our appreciation to them. Our thanks are also due Mr. Moeller, our County Superintendent, who so carefully and wisely planned our building with the able assistance of Mr. I loward Burr, the architect. We have in our new building the product ol the minds ol these two men—the former, one of the most prominent and able educators of our state, and the latter, one of the most up-to-the-minute school architects. It is tine to the combined planning of these two men that our school has such a high rank among the Consolidated Schools of the state. A word of appreciation is also due Mr. Prank Chapman, the contractor, who worked so diligently under tremendous disadvantages to get our building finished as soon possible. We feel that no amount of money or planning could have given us the splendid building we have without the efficient services of an able contractor. And anyone who thinks we did not have an able contractor will be convinced otherwise upon visiting our new building. l-our F A e u L T Y High rtinnl Jffantlty Mr. (Nottingham has been with us two years and has fulfilled the office of superintendent faithfully and in connection has taught Geometry and until the last semester of this year, General Science. The Freshmen say that his most outstanding characteristic is calling down someone to see them wiggle while he stares at them for an hour afterwards. Miss Van Valkenburghs came from Chicago, Illinois. She was principal and Fnglish teacher. Her chief occupation and pastime was hunting Mr. (Nottingham or “William” to see if they would set the mouse traps. Miss Wilson came all the way from Portland, Indiana, to explain history and teach Spanish. She takes a private interest in each pupil and loves to listen to their tales of joy and woe. Miss Aubrey came to us from Sumner, Iowa, to show the girls how to make happy husbands on finishing school life, by being good cooks and able to make their own clothes, for that’s “I lome Economics.” Miss Smith arrived in Dunkerton from Marshal, Missouri, and took Miss Van Valkenburgh’s duties in the last semester with one additional General Science. Her most striking characteristic is her ability to look a person out of his or her devilment and she is noted for her correctness of speech. Mr. Jefferson has spent his life in Dunkerton. After graduating from Iowa State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, he came back to teach Agriculture. Algebra and Physics in his home. He has a habit of saying each morning as students get settled to say. “Well, we’ll write a little this morning.’’ Miss Wilson “She runs her modest, quiet nice, her vcay veins friends in every place.” Mr. Jefferson “A gentleman and a true friend.” C. V. CoTTINGHAM “A good scout in zebatever he undertakes.” Miss Van Valken burgh Miss Smith “It’s one o’clock!” “A kind and gentle heart hath she. Sr. t'tl Mrs. Saterlee “A worker in whatever she undertakes.” Miss Aubrey “One smiled on her and he was blessed.” Miss Van Vliet ’Tis good to be merry and wise.” faculty Mrs. Apfel “Music is love in search of a word.” Miss Mathes Winning in her way and pleasant in her smile.” F.ight Miss Stowe “If you’re in need, she’s a friend indeed.” Miss McGovern ‘‘She was just the quiet kind.” Country Jffarulty Fern Bartholomew “She hath a unique affection —she is called a sensible girl.” Ella Cowlishaw ‘'Sincere, honest, and hardworking.” Miss Siebert Honor lies in honest toil.” Mine Ten yVO T 5 Marvel Adams President J.

Naught a-miss in thee we find.” Thirteen ptttor Class history In the month of September, 1918, we, the Seniors of 1922, began our journey through the paths that lead to an High School education. In this illustrious class were Marvel Adams, Thomas Bond, Edward Gardner, Gladyce Holdiman, Claire Lamb, Bernice Nesfield, Irene Penne, and Charles Penne, who had 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 the Freshman year of High 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. In September, 1920, we entered school as Juniors and with the exception of Clarence Leibert, Edward Gardner and Floyd Guyer, all came back again. As our school had increased, we now had three teachers— Mr. and Mrs. Cottingham and Miss Vivian Stone. Later Mrs. Cottingham resigned and Miss Gladys Jensen was added to the Faculty. By September, 1921, the final sifting showed the number of Seniors as six. They were, Thomas Bond, Marvel Adams. Oscar Guyer, Bernice Nesfield, Gladyce Holdiman and Claire Lamb. I he school continued to grow and we found Superintendent Cottingham with the following helpers: Miss Smith, Miss Wilson, Mr. Jefferson and Miss Aubrey. We, the “pioneer” class, Seniors of 1922, will watch with unfailing interest the growth of the Dunkerton Consolidated Schools. t (Elaea U3iU We, the Senior Class of 1922, of Dunkerton High School, knowing that we are to leave this school forever, and being of sound and disposing minds and memories, do hereby make and publish this, our last will and testament, in order that, as justly as may be, we can bequeath these following properties to our fellow sufferers, more commonly known as our classmates : Item I. We hereby bequeath to the Junior Class all the little special privileges that we as Seniors have enjoyed, the most important ot these being the right to bluff in all cases regardless of the consequences. Item 11. To the Sophomores we bequeath the great honor of publishing the next volume of “The Period,” and when in doubt over any of the problems which may confront them, consult the Seniors, for they are properly versed on all subjects regarding the publishing of an annual. It is also considered fitting and proper for the Juniors to make everything as uncomfortable and inconvenient for the Seniors as possible. Not only causing them a feeling of anxiety in all points concerning their more dignified brothers and sisters, but make them as miserable as possible. Item III. To the Freshman Class we bequeath our excellent example set in deportment, all our studious habits, and the respect which we had for our superiors. Item IV. We, the Seniors, leave our best wishes for success to the Faculty. Fourteen Item V. I, Claire Lamb, do bequeath the privilege of taking the H. S. girls out car riding to Russell McNellis. Item VI. I, Marvel Adams, do bequeath my ability to chew gum in school time to Elma Magee, provided she does not break the record by chewing more than five sticks at once. Item VII. I. Thomas Bond, do bequeath my little vest pocket diary book, which contains a record of all my past dates during my four years of High School to Ruth Trunnell, provided that its contents are kept secret. Item VIII. I, Gladys Holdiman, do bequeath my secret of how to stay up seven nights out of six and still get on the “above 90” list, to Dorothy G reel is. Item IX. 1, Oscar Guyer, do bestow the care of my two brothers, Floyd and Morton, to Naomi Brant and Alice Allen. Item X. I, Bernice Nesfild, do will my position as the Senior Class President to Morton French. Item XI. We, Claire Lamb and Bernice Nesfield. do bequeath our habit of disagreement to Mary Carroll and Roger Smith. Item XII. I. Oscar Guyer, do will my ambition to become a school teacher to Clarence Liebert. Item XIII. We, Bernice Nesfield and Marvel Adams, do bequeath our admiration for the masculine sex to Irene Benzing and Marjorie Reinhart. Item XIV. We, Thomas Bond and Claire Lamb, do bequeath 25 ounces of our surplus gray matter to Claire Barlow and Roger Smith. Item XV. We, Gladys Holdiman and Oscar Guver, do bequeath our inclinations to whisper to Blanche Teisinger and Clyde Barlow. Item XVI. I, Claire Lamb, do will my love for singing to Clarence Liebert, and Russell McNellis. We, the undersigned, do nominate C. W. Cottingham executor of this our last will and testament and do desire that he may carry out his duty as executor.

I will try and show how this greenness wore off. The members of this enterprising class were: Mary Rodgers, Harold Owen, Martha Westlic, Dorothy Greelis, Fren Strover, Charles Dundon, Fay Bartholomew, Alice West, Alice Owen, Morton French, Norris Clark, Roger Smith. Clair Barlow, Bernice Goff, Melvin Goff, and Grace Jefferson. The motto of our class is “To Victory Through Hardships.” On the first day we had our class meeting, but we had all been taught “not to speak until spoken to,” so it was a rather solemn meeting. We elected Dorothy Greelis, president: Russell Brant, vice president; Mary Rodgers, secretary, and Grace Jefferson, treasurer. We had, during this Freshman year, a highly talented class. Russell Brant, Norris Clark and Clair Barlow represented us in athletics, and most of the class were actors in one way or another. During this wonderful year of our lives we were having our infant minds trained by Mr. Metfessel the first semester, who was followed by Mr. C. Miller. The latter finally brought the ship to shore on the Sophomore landing. We set sail from Sophomore bay with four members missing, but Mary Carroll, Ona Heinz and Clarence Liebert took up the oars. Our superior officers had entirely changed. Mr. Cottingham was superintendent and taught General Science and Geometry. Mrs. Cottingham taught us how the ancients did and what language Spanish would be, if we spoke it. Miss Stone, the principal, was the other member of the crew. Her stronghold was English. After the first semester, Mrs. Cottingham began housekeeping and Miss Jensen took up her school duties. The athletic skill of the boys was shown as we came to anchor in Junior strait. With Mr. Cottingham once more at the helm, we seamen set sail under different officers. We chose Mary Carroll, president; Russell Brant, vice president, and Mary Rodgers, secretary and treasurer. The other superior officers were Miss Van Valkenburg, acting principal and English teacher; Miss Wilson teaching Spanish and Flistory; Mr. Jefferson. Algebra, Physics and Agriculture. After the first semester. Miss Smith took up Miss Van Valkenburg’s duties and we entered a new ship, “Dunkerton Consolidated School.” Sailing was so calm we decided to have the excitement of putting out an Annual. We elected Mary Carroll, editor, and Russell Brant, business manager, with each person ready to do his part. The members of the class are still showing their talents. They belong to Glee Clubs and take part in athletics. We are now floating our anchor in Senior bay. The next sail will land us where may be had a splendid view of college life.

Six students who were graduated from the Dunkerton school in May were on hand and were joined by seven others from rural districts. The roll was as follows: Naomi Brant, Russell McNellis, Melba Dun- kerton. Randall Brant, Elma Magee, Irene Benzing, Marjorie Reinhart, Roe Clark, Alice Allen, Blanche Leisinger, Elise Cummings, Elise Turner, and Mary Ackerman. During the year Elise Turner and Mary Ackerman moved to Waterloo, and Thelma Scott from West High joined our ranks. At the beginning of our Sophomore year, Harold Owen, Roger Smith, Clarence Liebert and Clair Barlow were added to our number, and Blanche Lesinger rejoined us in October, after an absence of the first few weeks. Elma, Melba Dunkerton, Naomi Brant, Russell McNellis, and Randall Brant have come up together from the primary grades. The Sophomores were the first class to enter the Dunkerton Consolidated High School from the grades. Twenty-Six '■Si r) ;7 '1 ZZ' 1ZS ZZEL Is, JfTreshmatt Notes j The present Freshman class is larger than any other Freshman class that has ever entered the Dunkerton High School.' The enrollment is seventeen. At the first of the year we started to school in the old High School Building. We Freshies got a good many slams about being green. Of course we were! A few days after school had started the older classes decided they would have a party and initiate the Freshmen into High School. T he hard time party” (as it was called) was held in the basement of the Baptist Church. We spent the evening playing games, after which refreshments were served. We are taking four subjects this year — Algebra, English, General Science, and History. From September to December many incidents occurred in our classes, showing us that we were here for some real work. We were sorry to lose two members of our class, Joe Hazel and Clair Maurer. In the latter part of February the High School moved to the new school building. At this time Maude Kennison entered our class. The athletic boys gave a party, April the eighth, at which many of the Freshmen were present. We played several games, after which refreshments were served. The Freshman class is represented in the Glee Clubs and one of our boys plays on the second team in Basket Ball. A Declamatory Contest was given by the High School, January 30th, in which four Freshmen had part. Grace Bartholomew and Harlan Faris took second prize and Harold Sadler took third prize. We felt it quite an honor to have so many winning contestants. The Freshmen are all looking forward with great interest to the next three years of High School life. Twenty-Eight anh i-tgljtlj CSraftea School began September 6th with forty-one pupils enrolled. Later, four more came, making forty-five. On February 17th, Eva Cumrine left for Minneapolis. A “Farewell Party” was given her at the home of Orma Wellner. We presented her with a silver pencil. On March 7th, Claude Weber enrolled here, coming from Cresco. On Hallowe’en night the Seventh and Eighth Grades had a masquerade party in “Pleasant Hill” building. On Friday before Christmas vacation we had a picnic dinner in our schoolroom. At the beginning of the school year we organized a club. President, Grace Clubine; vice president, Wendall Dunkerton; secretary, Glen V. Bovey; treasurer, Joe Stabell. On March 28th the pupils of Miss Van Vleet’s room presented our room with a dictionary stand. Our room responded by serving a “picnic dinner” on March 29th, inviting the pupils of Miss Van Vleet’s room.

School opened with twenty-six pupils enrolled, but later the number was increased to thirty. Early in the fall we took a trip along the creek to study the glacial boulders and tent caterpillars. This opened our nature study for the year. For good times we had a Hallowe’en party and Valentine box. On March 13, we gave a pantomimed reading of “Hiawatha.” We netted forty-five dollars. We purchased thirteen new books and two dictionary holders, one of which we presented to the Junior High. They re-spended by entertaining us at a picnic lunch. We also paid fifteen dollars towards the Auditorium curtain. We are expecting to take our play to Jesup soon.

Thirty-One Stytrii anft Jffmtrtlj (Srailes On Labor Day, nineteen hundred and twenty-one, we, the Third and Fourth Grades, commenced our labors which continued throughout the school year. At Hallowe’en time we participated in a program and party in our school room. During the month of November we gave a program with the First and Second Grades in the Baptist Church to entertain our mothers. Just before school closed for our holiday vacation we greatly enjoyed a Christmas tree and a visit from Santa Claus. During the month of February we celebrated Lincoln’s and Washington’s birthdays by telling stories of their lives. February fourteenth we had a Valentine’s box in our room, which everyone enjoyed. iMarch first brought many changes in our school year. Our place of work was moved from the church building to the Pleasant Hill school-house. Roland Brasch, one of our Fourth Grade pupils, left our midst at that time. Helen and Edward Lyons came from the Lester school to work with us the remainder of the school year. Shortly after Easter we took part in a program given in the new auditorium by all the grades of the Consolidated district. iMay seventeenth our labors were completed and we were ready to enjoy our summer vacation. Thirty-Two iFirst anil ermth (grahea We now number thirty-six, although we were but twenty-seven in number at the beginning of the school year. Early in the year three 1 larn children joined our ranks, but we very soon transferred Margaret and Annie to the Third Grade. It wasn’t -Jong before Edward Bolt joined us and later Everett Kern. We are very proud of our pairs of brothers who joined us recently. Our twins, Ralph and Rayburn Weber, have added greatly to our fun, while Kenneth and Raymond Farley have been an inspiration to us in their demonstrations of gentleness and kindness. We have taken part in several programs. Our room with Miss Mathes gave a little afternoon program at the Baptist Church early in the school year. Our next appearance was at the Methodist Church in a W. C. I. I. Declamatory, where we sang several little songs. We have made two appearances in the new building, one on a Parent-Teachers’ program. We were exceedingly proud of Vera Spies and Eleanor Parks when they danced the Scotch Highland Fling. Grace I leinze made a very realistic doll on this same program. She walked stiff and prim just like a real doll and looked so sweet that we all wished she belonged to us. Not very long ago six of our members sang two little songs on the 1 ligh School Glee Club program. Our little Ruth McMillan made a very dear “Little Bo-Peep.” Our final appearance in public for this year will probably be soon. Miss Van Vleet and our teacher are helping us prepare a little operetta, “ I he Quest of the Pink Parasol,” to be given on the final number of the Lecture Course.

December 23. Our Christmas program was given in the evening, being attended by sixty-six parents and friends. At the close of the program “Santa” appeared beside a lovely tree kindly given to us by one of the patrons. Following this, refreshments were served by the ladies of the district. February 14.

All went home tired but happy, feeling that it had been well worth working for. Our Christmas program was given in the afternoon, December 23rd. It was well attended. Following the program we had a Christmas tree and everyone was remembered by a gift. A pleasant half hour was spent exchanging valentines on February fourteenth. February second and third our Eighth Grade pupils spent the days in Dunkerton writing county examinations. iEUa Cmultsliaut, (Erarljrr FIRST GRADE Alberta Rodgers SECOND GRADE Jack Clark Russell Rodgers Roland Smith Emilie Lass FOURTH GRADE William Clark Nellie Owen FIFTH GRADE Donald Brasch Walter Clark SIXTH GRADE Edna Bovey Gertrude Owen On the sixth of September in 1921 the doors were opened in order that the thirteen children might saunter listlessly through the doorway to resume their studies once more. Every day they tried to keep their eyes on their books with now and then a glance at the clock to see if it wasn’t nearly time for the day’s work to cease. Thus the days and even weeks go by with a party now and then to lighten their daily tasks. Great pleasure was taken in giving a little Thanksgiving entertainment for the mothers. Winter came and went and with it one of our fond ones — Violetta Schmidt. Soon the time for tun arrived for the school year came to a close. Again the mothers were entertained for the last time. After farewell to everyone, they departed for their homes, for the doors closed, for a long looked forward to—vacation.

Now as the sad story goes, I lis life was filled with woes; For a living he did work. Being careful not to shirk. His money was not everlasting, So at last he began a fasting. As hunger and thirst started its career. Leading to starvation and a dreaded fear, The man became trembling and weak. But nowhere fortunes could he seek. Someone found him on the cold street, Hardly strong enough to stand on his feet. They took him to a fine hospital, Where he improved little by little: W'hen he became happy and well, He traveled forth with tinware to sell. One day while traveling in the fall. He tripped against a tree large and tall; At last this man did die And left with nothing but a sigh. Now if you don’t believe it, call it a lie. A Sophomore. fp 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 Thirty-Seven Thirty-l:igbt 4@ask?tbaU Witter 1921-22 Our team began its practice on the outdoor court last fall. Here it worked under great disadvantages, having to labor there in all kinds of weather to develop a good team. We began practicing about the twentieth of February. From that time on through the basket ball season our team came to the top with leaps and bounds. If we could have had the use of the gym all winter we would have had the fastest team in our “neck of the woods.” Our first game occurred December 6, 1921. The other games followed at regular intervals of once a week and sometimes two games a week toward the close of the season.

Fie is always ready and anxious to jump into the gallant struggle. This fact gives the whole team a great deal of pep. He is able to tear a ball from any opponent and cleverly dribble to our end of the floor and toss it lightly through the net. We are sorry to lose him next year. Dundon was one of the stars'on the High School quintet this year. He played forward in the early part of the season, but was soon shifted back to his old position of standing guard. At guard he worked all over his end of the floor and could be depended upon to take care of two or three of our opponents. Team-work and passing is where he did his best work. He will be back another year and with a full year’s practice he will no doubt develop into one of the best guards in the state. Clark was another player who was a great surprise to the fans this year. 1 Ie played center and could be depended upon for the tip-off, as well as his full share of the baskets. On defensive work he was able to be all over his opponents without being fouled for it. He will be back another year and is expected to develop into one of the best players to represent Dunkerton on the basket ball floor in nineteen twenty-three. Smith was another new player who represented us in basket ball this year. I Ie played forward and his team-work was exceedingly good. He Thirty-Nine could be depended upon to make the baskets when they were the most needed, and on defensive work, no one was too far ahead for him to get. The team depended on him to be the first one back on all defensive plays and he lived up to all of our expectations, lie will be with us two more years. Bovey was borrowed from the Eighth Grade, but his playing showed that he was one of Dunkerton’s cleverest players, l ie was by far the fastest man on the team and could be depended upon to make more than his share of the points. He had an exceptionally good eye for the basket and was able to lose an)' guard placed upon him. He was unable to demonstrate his real worth on account of the shortness of the season, but with four more years before him we know he will be an all state forward. C. W. Cottingham coached the basket ball team and their success can be largely credited to our coach. 1 Ie worked under numerous difficulties this year and the games that were lost in the early part of the season were due to having no gym to practice in. When he finally got the team in the gym he whipped them into shape in a remarkably short time and the showing that they made against teams that were in the mid-season form demonstrated what he could do with a team if given the facilities to work with. The boys that pjayed second team this year were Russell Brant, Floyd Guyer, Clair Barlow, Oscar Guyer and Morton Guyer. These players demonstrated in the games that they played in that there was a wealth of good material in Dunkerton High School and made it a constant battle for the first string men to keep their positions. They demonstrated clearly that Dunkerton would not lack material in basket ball in nineteen twenty-three and that the regulars would have to do their best to regain their positions. I he pupils of Dunkerton High owe these boys a vote of thanks for faithfully coming out to practice steadily and helping in every way possible. The second team always makes the first team what it is. 1 he first place at the Cedar Valley Tournament was lost only because of our handicap at the first part of the season. As it was, we came within two points of gaining the second place. There we played against Orange and lost by a score of 23 to 21. At that time we had the fastest team of the two, but were slack on the ability to shoot baskets. Forty ffiase 2£aU 1921 Capt. Lamb, besides being the hurler, is one of the most dependable hitters on the team. Mis work on the mound is deserving of the praise and admiration of the school and base ball fans. We are sorry to lose him this year. Page, the receiving end of the battery, also plays a fast game. He manages to glom onto all of them and not many runners try to steal bases on him. Laris, who generally plays the keystone bag, is developing into a pitcher to be proud of. He pitched a game against Oran that made him a favorite among the fans of the community. Brant, who is back at the central sack, is playing up to his old form and is a great assistance to the infield. Guyer (Gus) played a great game at third and was one of our sluggers. McNellis, the left-fielder, is one of the favorites. He can be depended on for a hit every time up. We are glad we will have him two more years. Dundon played the out-field and at short both this year and played a snappy brand of ball at both positions. Guyer (Pooch) played the field and got everything that came his way. He is also a heavy hitter. Bond, played third in some of the games. I lis work is always good and his hits certainly count. Guyer (Morton) is a fielder of no mean ability. We would as soon see a fly go out in his territory as to have the man fanned.

The two games being unfinished because of rain, but the prospects were good when they were forced to quit. The other games were nothing to brag about, but the team is developing to the place it has sought for and is certainly going to make a record during the spring of 1922. With the regular squad new'recruits were reported this spring, from which it was necessary to select the stars. This selection was nearly an impossible task, because competition brought them all to perfection. We believe, therefore, that we have an invincible team.
