Being sound in health, mind, and memory, we make, publish, and declare this writing to be our last will and testament. First of all we, the Seniors, leave to the underclassmen, all gum under the desks, all initials in the tables, and our tattered books. Joann Bohrofen wills her ability to get her dad's car every night to Charlie Stefani. Beverly Peterson wills her typing ability toBruce Andrus. Maybe now he can get those assignments done. Joyce Weiser wills her ability toget a Waukee class ring toCarolyn Kallem pro- viding Carolyn can keep it as long Jean Oyres wills her talkative Twila doesn't use it to the extent Bob Wooters willshis car driving doesn't scare himself to death. Will Weiser leaves his bus route all, a bus holds more anyway. Shirley Madison wills her pretty as Joyce has. ways to Twila Seibert. Our only hope is that that Jean does. ability hoLaVerne Greig in hopes that LaVerne toanyone without a car tnrun around in. After and neat hair to Karen Grimm. Duane Fullerton leaves Betty Tuttle toRoger Bloomfield and Francis Guess. You can fight over her yourselves now, boys. Bob Slauson wills his red bleached hair to Jym Biddle. Dale Johnson wills his school-skipping ability to Ed Baer. We only hope that Ed has a better excuse than to say he is going to work. Jean Oyres wills her many boyfriends to Lois Wieser. Shirley Madison wills her telephone conversation ability to anyone who wants to fight with a certain Waukee boy. Joann Bohrofen wills her good grades to her little sister, Janice. Joyce Weiser wills her basketball ability to Carol Gintzell. Duane Fullerton wills his old wrecked Ford to anyone who will have it and take better care of it than he did. Will Weiser wills his ability to get Jym Biddle's answers all the time,to Mar- ilyn Bohrofen, as if she'll ever need them. Beverly Peterson wills her man troubles to Kay Adrian. By the looks of it now, Kay never has any trouble. Dale Johnson wills his Romeo ways Che thinks anywayj to Dennis Bohrofen. Bob Slauson wills his class ring to any girl who is sucker enough to take it, We only hope she kee s it for at least one whole week. Bob Wooters wills he Urbandale girls to Roger Bartelt. They're all yours now, 5 Roger. In Witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal in Grimes, Iowa, on May fourth, nineteen hundred and fifty three.

We will begin our story at a small air-field just outside of San Antonio, Texas. The name of the air-field is HDuane's Flying Serv1ce.H The manager in charge is none other than Duane Fullerton, one of the graduates of 1953. As he sat down to open his mail he came across a small envelope which came to be a baby announcement from the former Joyce Weiser. Duane decided he would go to California and visit them. With his wife, a former Grimes student, and their three girksand boy they boarded a plane and soon landed atCalifornia. Joyce and her husband met them in their new yellow mercury convertible. with Joyce's four children it made a happy gathering. In the course of the conver- sation Joyce said that Drain Station and that while swimming at Camp the pool and she saved wonder what had become to Grimes. Enroute to he too his married. It Millie had his own Phillips 66 station--Will's Pump and seems Will met his wife one day Dodge, he stubbed his toe and fell into the deep end of him from drowning. Hearing about Willie, Duane began to of the rest of the class so he decided he would fly back Grimes he noticed the gas tadcwas registering near empty so he thought he better land as soon as possible. The airport looked familiar buthe couldn't quite place him mechanic at the Denver so he asked himhis name. He replied Bob Wooters. It seems after school Wooters had began to grow andnow he is 6' 4U and weighs 200 pounds. Comparing notes it seems he marrieda former girl friend from Urbandale and always enjoyingwork on cars hadbecome a airplane mechanic. It was getting late so Duane boarded the plane again and they came on to Grimes. Approaching Grimes they noticed an airport just outside of town. Upon landing a taxi came along side of them and asked them if they wanted a ide. Duane noticed that the driver of the taxi was none other than his old classmate Bob Slauson. Bob, after his stretch in the air force was stationed in Alaska and caught a bad case of pneumonia and was taken to the hospital. While there he fell in love with one of his nurses and as soon as he was released from the hospital he married her. He never could resist women. Bob drove them to the home of Harold Bohrofen's. them that Joann uit colle e after one ear to marr a There Mrs. Bohrofen told rich lawyer who she met towards the Oyres home. He found Q E Y Y at college. At the present time they are living in a City. Duane also inquired about Beverly Peterson. It as a secretary for some time. One day thought she needed three children. Upon leaving the that Jean eloped right out of high school with some big business man and she stumbled over her feet someone to watch over her Bohrofen home Duane headed big mansion in New York seems Beverly had worked had been his secret admirer for and as her boss picked her up he so hermarried her. She now has her ideal, a former sailor from Granger, and that they are now living in Des Moines with their four children Mrs. Oyres also told us that she just received a letter from Jean, and it seems that they have been having quite a bit of rain in Des Moines. Well one day dur- ing a recent rain storm, Jean had her mouth open--talking of course--and almost drowned. I guess Kenny got to say a few words for a change. Another former classmate, Mrs. Oyres said had decided not to marry and was living in Missouri This was Shirley Madison, she had bought a 16 room house and was raising cats for the whole neighborhood. This completed the history about everybody excep:Dale Johnson so Duane asked Bob if he had heard from him. Yes, Dale had written him. He now lives in Wash- ington D. C. as a F. B. I. worker. After school he married a former sweetheart from Tech in Des Moines and they now had three sets of twins. Climbing aboard the airplane agai15Duane waved goodbye toBob and they became airborne. He decided that the class had fared pretty welland everyone washappy so giving the controls to his co-pilot Duane fell asleep for the rest of the journey home. HOOVER LUIBER CO.

FRONT ROW: Winnie Madison, Louise Stefani, Karen Wiles Janice Bohrofen, Dolores Higens, Carol Baer, Doris Ann Bohrofen, and Twila Seibert. Our freshman days began Sept. 1, 1952. We were happy to welcome Louise Stefani into our class, which raised our number to fifteen. Our required subjects were general math, English, general science, and home economics with manual trfining for the boys. Vw elected class officers as follows: President--Carol Baer Vice President--Janice Bohrofen Secretary--Roger Bartelt Treasurer--Francis Guess One Friday afternoon, early in the year we were given slips of paper by- the upper classmen instructing us how to dress for initation the following Monday. Our costumes might have been funny but they were equally uncomfortable. In the evenhg the tradidonal party was given in our honor which meant that we furnished the fun for the rest of the school and the big share of the refreshments. How- ever, we enjoyed it all for it made us official members of G. H. S. At times we worked hard during the year especially when we girls served the dinner for the Carnival at the Legion Hall and the boys toiled at building the stands. In home economics the girls did many projects both in Foods and Cloding Units. In manual training,besides the regular projects, the boys made some very practi- cal things for the school such as ping pong table, back stop, book cases, and several bulletin boards. Most of our class went out for athletics. Janice Bohrofen, Delores Higens, Karen Wiles, Carol Baer, Doris Ann Bohrofen, Louise Stefani, and Winnie Madison were the girls out for basketball. Marvin Bauman Larry Osterhout, Francis Guess, and Rudy Wipperman represented the freshman and in baseball there were Marvin Bauman, Roger Bartelt, and Larry Osterhout. In April we sponsored a dance at the Legion Hell and we took part in the various social events of the year. Mr. Hefti was our class sponror the first semester and Mrs. Mercer the second. OTTO'S STATION JOHNSTON We Get into Mischief I F N R I E T S I H A M T E I N O N On September 15, l952,fifteen very green looking freshmen entered the assembly of the Grimes High School. They were all dressed in the unheard of costumes suggested by the Senior Class. One which we will always remember is thet of Janice Bohrofen. She was our upside down backwards girl, who carried out the theme to the last detail. She wore her skirt upside down her shirt on backwards, her hair braided, and limped along with one high healed shoe, and one low healed shoe. Another sorry sight was Marvin Bauman who was dressed in a strapless top, a towel draped around him, and wore high heels. Dennis Bohrofen looked very cute in his HLittle Iodinen costume. He had all the trimmings including a short dress and sandals even to the bow in his hair. Francis Guess made an excellent Irish Wash Woman in his old dress, high heels, and last but not least a bendana tied around his head. It seems Doris Ann Bohrofen forgot to get dressed this morning as she came dressed in a nightgown, and her hair all up in rags, but she wore high herled shoes. Perhaps she forgot to take them off the night before. Larry Osterhout and Twila Seibert were dressed as Pa and Ma Kettle respectively. Larry wore an old pair of overalls, long underwear, and a derby hat, while Twile wore her hair on top of her head, an old dress, and carried one of her many children. Carol Baer was all ready to go hunting with bib overalls ear muffs, plaid shirt and knee boots. Louise Stefani had to wear pillows inside her overalls and shirt in order to fit her role of a fat farmer. She also wore a wide brimmed hat to protect her from the hot sun. Rudy Wipperman was our negro shoe shine boy. I understand the seniors were not too pleased with his work, and fired him after the one day. Daisy Madison made up our absent-minded Baseball player. She had her hair up in curlers, wore her baseball suit backwards, and a pair of tennis shoes. It seems Karen Wiles was too poor to buy any clothes for this day, so she wore an old gunny sack dress, gunny sacks on her feet, and her hair in pigtails. Dolores Higens, too, was n farmer for the day. She wore a pair of overalls, a big shirt, old overshoes, and a straw hat. Hwatch out,the Indians are after us,H was the cry of all the smaller children when they saw Winnie Madison and Roger Bartalt. Winnie made an excellent squaw and Roger was her chief. They were both dressed in bmnkets and wore war paintand an appropriate head dress. Refreshments were served and a good time was enjoyed by all. li-. , .
