'YS' Gwwfb The ROCKET 1925 - GWWID Senior Class Prophecy Come music, with your melody and rhyme, And let me express the heroes of time, Of poetry, I haven't a flicker. But diligently, I'll write just as a thinker Tho' our rhymes are crude, VVe'l1 try not make them rude. Harold VVeitzell our great ball man Is the idol of every baseball fan, VVhen it comes his turn upon the mound, The people gather from nations 'round. Archie Manz is the leader of a very good band, You ought to sec the flourishes he makes vu His fame and success is no doubt due 'ith his hand. To the knowledge gained in G. M. H. S., don't you think so too? Lester Plummer thinks himself just about right ,And is found at home most every night At that he's all right when making a bow And begins his speech on a Black Angus Cow. Alice seems very quiet But really is a tease' A telephone girl Hello! Number, Please? Arlene the phoney nurse Tries to get money to fill up her purse Her patients never report on her care Because long distance doesn't go,-up there. Ina Yetley the movie star, Now steps out in a Rolls-Royce car, Her latest hit was with a rolling pin, At half-past three when her man came in. Little Lillian Shore is no more For as she opened the front room door, Raymond whisked her far away And she hasn't came back to this day. Ben was a partner in a big firm He wanted a housekeeper willing to learn Lucile is serving his meals now She tries to cook but doesn't know how. Nina is leading a luxurious life And has settled down as a Governor's wife She's very prominent in social sways But never forgets dear old G. M. H. S. days. -BW GWWVD Page 15 The ROCKET 1925 GNMVD 2 Bernice Wheeler the great musician It seems could never get a position Her playing is of the very best But the employers won't do the rest. Hazel Rehberg to college will go To be in society and have lots of beaus She'll graduate as an English teacher And then settle down as the wife of a preacher. Lester Keese was a race track king Could go two hundred per in any old thing, W'hen he came to a corner he stepped on the gas Now powerful Slats lies under the grass. Dorothy is so nice and tall And is always a friend to one and all, We all concluded she would never roam, But now she is the mistress of a cute little home And Virginia, the speaker of the class She surely was a brilliant lass, At college she ate of the knowledge tree And won a man and her M. A. degree. The next on our list is Pearl Overstake She bakes the water and boils the cake. She'll live in a house on top of the hill And be very happy cooking for Bill. And of Myra Renner it is said That after school she went and wed. She was such a kind sweet twiddle dove, We hated to lose her, but love is love. A wonderful musician is Gladys Somers She can play and sing all the latest numbers. We find her singing on the vaudeville stage, Her name often appearing on the society page. Lawrence Moller was always a clown VVe all really wondered if he'd ever settle down But in Oxford College we Find him now Teaching athletics, he sure knows how. We find john Swanson a traffic cop He sure does pinch 'em and makes 'em stop So be careful when you're out for a spin That you don't get speedy and get run in. Ora Murty is another Who's going to stay home and help her mother Until some bright day in June She'll march up the aisle to the wedding tune. ' GSMVD Page 16 The ROCKET 1925 amen ' 3 Ethel Shelton a missionary will be She'll sail over the big blue sea To teach the people the good part of life This girl will certainly make some man a good wife. As a housewife Cora takes first place. She's surely distinguished By her charming grace. Vivian Herron with hair so black To this school will never come back To Cambridge College she will go next fall VVhere she will be a friend to all. Lester Swanson, the man who never shirks Is a chemical engineer and head of the works A man of riches he expects to be, But we'll all just have to wait and see. You know this is only a prophecy And visionary too, But let us hope for every one Our dreams may all come true. L,J.G.-D.L.J,-L.c.P.-'25 GWMID Page 17 'K Lawrence Moller Nina Lynch .

Each day we do our work with pep, Climbing the ladder step by step. Our High School days will soon be o'er But ideas a' plenty we have in store. Now since you've heard of us You'll probably start a fuss lf we don't give our teachers praise For sticking by us in many ways. Interest in our work and play Is taught to us in every way. Even in disobeying the Golden Rule Our teachers are surely hard to fool. Of troubles we've had our share But think the world will treat us square, VVhen we've outgrown our childish ways As we become older and wiser in future days. Realms of beauty lie awaiting VVhile in our minds we are debating As to the style and class of work That true American citizens should never shirk. Surely now you've guessed our aim. From what we've said of life's old game. The foundation of our success will be based On the knowledge we obtained from Dear old G. M. H. S. Comm. H.E.W'.--G.L.S.-M.E.R.

Lend me your ears. I come to tell you our history not future. The good that great do lives after them, the good is never interred with their bones. So let it be with us juniors. The noble Latin teacher has told you we are ambitious, and she is an honorable woman. If it were so it was not a grievous fault, and we have not grievously answered it. Here under the leave of the seniors and the rest-, for seniors are our honorable friends, so are all the classes our honorable friends. Come I to tell my story. W'e have brought home many good grades to pa and ma, whose pens did on them sign their names. Did not this in us seem ambitious. When others have poor grades we have high. Did we not start our freshman year with nineteen humble members? Bearing high our freshly burdens? Alva Zink and Carl Duft, Francis Beane and Alice Keedy. Makes us four already. Avonelle Clark and Florence Clar. That makes six already there. Beulah Keese and NValter Hoing. The latter soon was homeward going. Wendell Estel and Keith Thompson, Keith always comin' in the room a bouncin'. June Burger and Lloyd Johnson, the latter more bashful than poor Thompson. Harvey Drury and Dorothy Liebrum, always spoiling our equilibruim. Earl Somers and Glenn Drury blooming forth like summer Howers. Margaret Gorsuch and Hazel Shipton who the algebra grades were .always tipin'. O'er poor Charles Shelton who stands alone. In our sopho- more year we started. Poor Keith, Glenn and Earl soon dropping then came Francis moving out. So We started anew, each laid his brick in the founda- tion, that led to a far away graduation. Exams rolled around, exemptions were read. Those who didn't escape had no grades like lead. A Our junior year we went about, June Burger and Dorothy Liebrum next dropped out. Our burdens we're carrying but we're going cheerfully. As the laws add Latin very tearfully, saying Make it a go. Never give up. Never give up. Carry it rightfully and the next jump'll land you in the Senior year, you know. Exam day the teachers offering us one hundred per cents, and we did thrice refuse saying, VVe'll make those grades so they will be paying. Is this not ambition? Miss VVi1liams says we are ambitious, and sure, she is an honorable woman. I speak not to disprove what I do not know. That we all love and have not hated without cause. But who is to mourn our poor grades? Not one. Oh, grades, thou art fled to angel juniors. And the teachers have not lost their reason. My heart is in my grades, so I must pause till it come back to me. VVendell Estal. ' GWU'fD Page 22 The ROCKET 1925 mmgm ai?

During the year of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-three, very little of interest happened: Everyone was too busy with lessons to organize for social meet- ings, altho a few of our boys were engaged in the school activities: Charles Zink and Russel Pifer belonged to the High School Orchestra and Newell Lynch played in a few games of baseball. At the close of the year all passed in the finals and were promoted to the Sophomore class the next year. Shortly after school opened in September, Nineteen Hundred Twenty-four, we, the Sophomores, organized with the following officers: President-Charles Zink Secretary-Herchel Keedy Treasurer-Vivian Shore Miss Fenner was chosen to be our chaperone. At the school carnival, given Gctober 31, our class staged the play, A Negro W'edding, which proved a great success. During the fall we had one Wiener roast in Shipton's grove. Each member had the privilege of bringing a guest. Most of the members were present and all had a good time. Le Roy Gorsuch. Sophomore Initials Blanche Bigelow ....... Vivian Shore .......

And then at Commencement it-ah, but stay, I'll tell you about it without delay. Nineteen hundred and twenty-five, Finds this class very much alive, Not a drone in the Eighth Grade Hive. Now, in building of classes, I tell you what There is always somewhere a weakest spot, ln scholarship or in right good-will, In loyalty or athletic skill, Find it somewhere you must and will. Above or below, within or without And that's the reason beyond a doubt So many classes fall down and out. But Miss Fenner strove as teachers do VVith books and questions not a few, To build one class to beat the band. It should be so built it would understand,-u Literature and History Bonds, cube root and the rule of three Laws of nations and laws of state, How to handle a real debate And other matters, small and great. Taught to work and taught to play, As shown by the Christmas party gay. Trained to keep order with teache1 ' out, Told to be jolly, not to pout, Held to the highest aims in sight, Kept to the standards of truth and right. That was the way she put 'em through - Therel said Miss Fenner, Now they'll do. Do! I tell you I rather guess, They'll be a wonder and nothing less. Seniors and Juniors will all be gone Freshmen and Sophomores-getting on, But nineteen hundred and twenty-nine VVill come and find these right in line, VVaiting until commencement day, Each to take his sheepskin away, VVill this be the end of ambition and strife?

There were ten contestants and the contest showed much improvement over the previous ones. Perhaps this was due in some respects to the aid given by the High School Orchestra which gave several selections between the different classes of readings. The scores ran close but the Final results were: Alice Keedy first over all and Lucile john Graves first in the humorous class. The Juniors are especially glad to note that one of their number gained first place. In fact all did very well and we must not slight the two Freshmen in that their first attempts showed qualities that may lead them to the top. There were no oratorical readings given.

Senior Picnic ' Wednesday April 1, 1925, the Seniors of Green Mountain High School April fooled the faculty and under-classmen by taking a holiday. They reported for school but ten minutes before school called they as- sembled in the North recitation room and when the bell rang they had all disappeared. Transportation, eats, hot dogs n'everything were secured down town and they started for Riverview Park, Marshalltown. 2 They ate their lunch at noon along the river and sure devoured those hot dogs. The afternoon was spent pleasantly and they returned in time to take the usual bus ride home. Ah, those good old Senior Days! ' GWMVD Page 38 The ROCKET 1925 GWWKD Junior Class Play March 25 S The juniors and underclassmen of the Green Mountain High School pre- sented their play Backbone , before a large audience in the school gym- nasium. It was an unusually clever review of a boy who was head over heels in love, but failed to make anything of himself in business because he lacked the backbone. Charles Shelton, as the lover, proved to the young social group and also to his father and mother-in-law to be that he really did have a backbone. The parts of Mr. and Mrs. Easton, who furnished most of the comedy were successfully played by VVendell Estal and Florence Clar. Alice Keedy the sweetheart of XVillie, proved her ability for portraying a character of various moods. Cast of Characters Mr. Henry Easton, wealthy merchant . . . Mrs. Lucile Easton, his wife . . .

GNMWD- Pale 39 The ROCKET 1925 GNMVD High School Carnival October 31, 1924, a large crowd gathered inf the High School gym which was gayly decorated in orange and black with the usual amount of pumpkin faces, witches and black cats. Each niche and corner was occupied by a booth, fish pond, fortune telling, doll rack, eats, beauty parlor and side shows, besides the House of Horrors on the first floor. After the first rush and fun, entertainment began on the stage of the gym, each class putting on a stunt. The Freshmen yet small for their age, put on the Family Circle . The Sophomores, wishing to portray their intelligence gave a negro wedding. The Juniors, feeling sorry for some of the unfortunate Seniors held a surgery demonstration. At last the Seniors most worthy of mention took the crowd back a century to King Tut's days. Discipline was kept during the evening by a group of blue coats and a lady judge. The penalty for any disorderly conduct ranged from ten cents to a quarter, varying according to theacrime. Toward the close of the evening two short plays were given in the Assembly. These were well attended as part of the crowd was locked out to allow room for the actors to put on the performance. The older people now began to go home and the rest followed after a thrilling adventure in the- House of Horrors . Grade Operetta V On Friday evening April 10, the grades presented the fairy play The Snow Queen . In this delightful little play the Snow Queen with the aid of the bad goblin entices a mortal Child Kay, to her palace. He soon grows weary of the splendors but cannot break the Goblin's spell. In the meantime his little playmate Guerda, who is searching for him is lost in the enchanted wood. After a nap she is awakened by the flowers and with the help of the wise old crow is about to find her way out of the enchanted wood when she is captured by the witch and the robbers. They tell her that she and the crow are to be eaten. However the robber girl takes pity on them and helps them to escape. They finally reach the snow queen's palace and the goblins charm is broken by Guerda's simple faith and love. The flowers have followed and crown the Snow Queen, Queen of Spring . The role of Snow Queen was played by Evelyn Davis, that of Kay by Clark Plummer, that of Guerda by Alice Sellers. The Bad Goblin ................ .... H oward Shipton The VVise Old Crow ..... .....

Upon entering the building the guests were ushered by the junior boys to the Primary Room, where an enjoyable time was spent until dinner. The dinner was served in the gym, which was decorated in purple and gold, the Senior colors. The tables were lovely with their flowers and candles. The four course dinner was cooked and served by the girls of the Domestic Science class. Mr. Gallup acted as our toast-master, and toasts were given by VVendell Estal, Florence Clar, Alva Zink, and Miss Howell. A toast, To the Seniors, was given by Alice Keedy and the Response by Laurence Moller. The remainder of the evening was spent playing games. Class Play The Senior Class play, VVhcn Smith Stepped Out was presented Friday evening, May 1, in the High School gymnasium. The clever three act comedy was woven around the adventures of the absent minded VVilliam Horace Smith QUncle Billj who is in the habit of taking a walk after his evening meal. The character of Uncle Bill was most successfully played by Laurence Moller. He met the exacting requirements of this part with great ease. The part of Mr. George Smith, his nephew was well taken by Harold VVeitzell. Hazel Rehberg as the spinster who lives next door, proved her ability in portraying a character sketch. Virginia Haynes was extremely Winsome in the part of Muriel Armitage, Mrs. Smith's younger sister. A strong cast supported these characters as follows: Mrs. George Smith, Nellie .... Lncile john Graves Hilda, the maid ....... . . Bernice XVheeler Mr. Keene, detective . . . . . Archie Manz Bob Stanley, a wooer .......

With hopes of many victories for the season they pledged them- selves to attend regular weekly practice for G. M. H. S's. recognition. Green Mountain 15-St. Anthony 2 We met St. Anthony on the home floor, November 19, 1924. Being the first game of the season every player was enthused and anxious to do her part. An excellent portrayal of the training was exhibited in this game. Green Mountain 9-Garwin 15 As visitors at Garwin the girls met their first defeat. A good fight was put up, altho several of the regular players were unable to take part in this game. Green Mountain 9-Lamoille 10 Another snappy game was played on the Lamoille floor, the results being a close defeat. Green Mountain 13-Conrad 9 In another interesting contest the girls met one of the fastest teams of the season. Systematic floor work as well as good, clean playing was displayed. Green Mountain 8-Albion ? Just a little hard luck on our part allowed Albion to carry off the victory on their home floor.

Green Mountain 24-St. Anthony 15 Even thc first game showed the improvement in basketball to that played in previous years. Everyone did well. A new team was substituted in the last half. Green Mountain 11-Garwin 21 The local boys met the Garwin team on their floor and were defeated in what proved to be one of the fastest games of the season. Forward Moller did not play in this game. Green Mountain 9-Liscomb 13 This was another hard fought contest, one of the players being unable to play. With Captain Somers out of the lineup it did not work well. Green Mountain 25-Albion 12 The local boys gave Albion a great surprise by taking victory the second time on their home Hoor. The defence and offence worked out fine in this game. Green Mountain 19-Conrad 16 This was a hard game from start to finish. The local boys showed excellent pass- work and a good eye for baskets. Captain Somers brought about the majority for Green Mountain. Green Mountain 22-Liscomb 18 Green Mountain met their old rivals and handled them the first dcfeat in the history of G. M. H. S. Green Mountain 33-Beaman 9 Green Mountain proved to be too fast for another of their old rivals and took a one-sided victory on their floor. Green Mountain 25-Conrad 14 Again the local boys won a victory over Conrad's team somewhat surprising them. This being the last scheduled game of the season, nearly everyone followed the team and rooted for victory.

After a few good practices the team was picked. The Hrst game of the season being at Liscomb so everyone began to work to make the first game a victory. Green Mountain 3-Liscomb 2 The local boys showed their pep and were well rewarded by a victory with a close score. Score-Green Mountain 2-Ferguson 8 The Ferguson team proved to be pretty fast and by misfortune, Green Mountain's team lost the game. Somers was worked in as a new pitcher at this game. Score-Green Mountain 10-Ferguson 3 The boys made the long trip to Ferguson but were followed by plenty of home rooters. The game was close until the ninth inning when Green Mountain took the victory. Green Mountain 14-Liscomb 2 This being the fourth game of the season, our players were in good practice. Liscomb's pitcher weakened and everyone got a hit. Green Mountain 7-Ferguson 1 On Saturday, October 11, the team met Ferguson at Marshalltown's diamond as agreed and won the game easily.
