It is hard for one to contemplate the far-reaching effect of your life's work when one realizes the opportunities of a teacher to develop character and mold good citizenry in youth. I wish not only to congratulate you but to salute you in your great accomplishment, and, as Governor of this State, to express my appre- ciation of the outstanding contribution you have made to our state and to humankind in general. With all good wishes for the future, I am Respectfully yours, will-6' Wm. S. Beardsley Governor WSB:mch IRVING J. HICKMAN, Supt. B.

To this end, they established the great free public school of America, an institution designed to impart to the youth of the land the fundamental skills, knowledge, and ideals necessary to the practice of desirable citizenship in a democracy. As our country expanded from a few small states into a mighty nation reaching across the 'continent and wielding world-wide influence, we con- stantly sought to adjust our schools to the increasingly complex needs of our ever-growing population and chang- ing society. We endeavored to evolve a school in which the youth may so live that he may receive the rich social heritage which is his, may have some practice in the use of this inheritance, and may be equipped to contribute ,something to it before passing it on to the generation who will come after him, If this three-fold purpose is fully accomplished, we need have no fear for the future of our country when the boys and girls in our schools today have become the men and women who make America tomorrow.

Even though noisy we are proud to boast that we are well represented in all school activities. We gave the seniors a banquet with the Hawaiian theme. The money for this was earned through selling food at football games and presenting a Class play Sparkling Sixteen . The junior girls won the intramural basketball tournament and the six junior girls out for basketball were all on the first squad. We also had many boys out for all sports. There were six on the football Squad, two on the basketball squad, five on the track squad, and live on the baseball squad, Three juniors had main parts in the one act play Swamp Spirit , We were proud of our fine representation in both vocal and instrumental music.

Our lives and everything with which we come in contact is governed by definite laws limiting our actions in all directions. Our modern way of life could not exist without these laws making it possible for us to live together and to do our work. The science of Mathematics has been developed by man as a tool to enable him to carry on the complex operations of his business and society and to explain the workings of the laws of his universe. The study of Mathematics is considered so important that all schools have required work in the various subjects of the field. High School courses in Mathematics are designed to complete the student's mastery of the fundamental mathematical understandings necessary to adult citizenship in a modern society. 2 Fi - 5132 ' E 11 ALGEBRA Mr. Mekemson Instructor .. sr I 5- l A SHOP CLASS IN PRACTICAL WORK I UN IOR ENGLISH CLASS Mrs. White taught the Freshman, Iunior and Senior English classes.

THE IUNIOR ENGLISH CLASS IN SESSION .L ,,,, -.ltr HOME ECONOMICS Home Economics is a training in homemaking. lt helps each girl to know and understand herself cmd pre- pares her for usefulness in the home and enjoyment in life. Vocational homemaking is not just requiring skills in cooking and serving but includes other phases of work such as the nutritive value of food, planning adequate and balanced meals, table service and food preservation. ln clothing besides learning the fun- damentals of serving the girls also study textiles, selection of garments as to color and design, care of clothing and personal appearance. Other units of work include home furnishing, child care and development, home care of the sick, family relationships, boy and girl relationship, and becoming a mature person. Home projects worked out with the cooperation of the parents are encour- aged because they develop skills learned in the classwork. The course is divided into three years of work. This year there is an enrollment of 43 girls in the department. The American Government class learned about the way our government was operated. Mr. Langfeldt of station K. M. A. gave the class a fine talk. The International Relations students became well-informed about world affairs and kept up in current events by reading the newspapers each day. The American History students kept notebooks to help in their study of the history of our America. They gave many interesting ficticious reports based on events that happened in those days. The World History class made a study of the happenings of mankind from the time that history was recorded. Many interesting reports were made and a great deal of research was done. This course is required work for two semesters for Sophomores. socuu. scrmcn 5 The Social Science Department of g 1 1 i the Hamburg High School includes 1 W' American Government, International Relations, American History, World History and Economics.

The ,veterans-on-farm training pro- gram is active in the Hamburg Schools. The Vo-ag program is designed to allow about 315 of the total time for class-room instruction. Approximately 215 of the total time is used for shop work which includes wood and metal Working and arc and acetylene welding. The Ag boys frequently go on field trips: They test soil, check for corn borer, this spring they set 2000 black locust trees, planted a forage test plot, and the seniors will take a trip to Iowa State College. For School and Community improvement the ag classes with the assistance of Mr. Wyatt, their instructor, and Ham, the custodian, constructed the athletic field bleachers, put the cables around the field, and dug the trench across the field for the P. A. system. They assembled the girls new athletic lockers, set two bicycle racks, constructed the platform in the auditorium for the new piano, constructed a backstop for the baseball feild, and did other jobs too numerous to mention. Adult farmers also go to school during special sessions for them. They had 10 meetings during each school year. Discussion this year covered many current topics such as: Borer and weed control, marketing, tractor maintenance, legunie growing and swine production. More than 15 movie films were shown. At the end of the meetings a banquet was held in the Baptist church, Each farmer invited a business man and about 120 persons attended. The veterans-on-farm training program has been active in the Hamburg schools for nearly 3 years. Norman Wyatt is the supervisor, and Byron Grebe and Harry Lauman are the instructors. Forty veterans are attending this vocational training for 12 months of the year. md? Mr. Wyatt, the Ag.

Out- weighed fifteen pounds to the man and with only five lettermen back the Wildcats came out with the lowest defeat score with the Peru team. It was considered a victory in defeat. A Sophomore studded Hamburg High football team over-powered heavily favored Essex 7-0 in a Tri-State Conference tussel. The Essex offense, which had burried two previous foes, never got past the winner's 45, as Hamburg scored its lone tally after three minutes of the third period had elapsed. Virgil Lynn burrowed over from five yards out, and Dean Peck plunged for the extra point. The Rock Port Blue Jays succumed to a lost half drive and dropped a Tri-State Conference game to Hamburg 12-0. D. Brown flipped a pass to brother N. Brc wn, good for seven yards and a touchdown. Later, Brown passed to Lynn for a 27-yard pay-off heave. Hamburg gained 322 yrds. by the air. Hamburg, a class B school, hammered class A Maryville, Mo., down to size in the first half, and went on to a surprising 19-0 victory. The Hamburg Pep Club, directed by Mrs. Doreen White, wife of the coach, gave the first marching exhibition in the school's history between halves. The Wildcat Footballers made a first quarter touchdown stand up for a 7-0 win over St, Joseph at Creighton Stadium. R. Gubser and J. Clayton were out- standing for Hamburg. Phil Larkin of St. Joe was one of the best offense backs Hamburg met up with all year. Hamburg and Tarkio battled to a 6-6 tie in the Homecoming game on the local gridiron. Hamburg scored three touchdowns in the first quarter but to no avail. All three were called back because of penalties. Hamburg out-downed the visitors 8-4 and made 129 yards from scrimmage to Tarkio's 93. Beverly Beverlin, a Sophomore, was chosen by the football squad as their Queen for the 1949 football season, Q, Lowe me .F .ri up , ,Q . 'N a. .- 11.-lf mls '5,'3:-tibk -s . X , . Leading by one touchdown until the fourth quarter, Tecumseh upset the Wildcats 13-6. In the second quarter a Brown to Lynn pass was good for a touchdown, with the conversion no good. Late in the final period Johnson of Tecumseh intercepted a pass and ran 80 yards right down the sidelines for a touchdown. The Nebraskans scored next on a blocked punt. Charles Barnes did some good running from his halfback spot. Two drop-kicks from the toe of Earl Wallace, Glenwood Ram's center spelled a 14-12 victory for Glenwood over Hamburg. Norman Brown, Chalmers Simpson, Murl Dovel looked stout in the 'Cats line, and the whole backfield, G. Brown, Kingery, Lynn, and Barnes performed well, con- sidering the cold weather. The annual Armistice Day game between Hamburg and Sydney was played on the local gridiron, ending in a 12-6 victory for the Wildcats. Robert Dimmitt played a sensational game at his tackle position.

Defensive play was stronger than the offense as was indicated by Hamburgs scoring a season total of 367 points to their opponents' 459. Prospects for next year are excellent because of the large number of experienced players expected to return and some excellent prospects who will come in from the elementary school. The squad is losing but three members, Marjorie Martin, Elaine Hamilton, and Mary Ann Fletcher through graduation. Twenty-one letters were awarded. Those receiving one year letters were-A Virginia Conaway, Pat McCall, Betty Perry, Lois McLaughlin, Barbara Fletcher, Marlene Shelton, Dolly White, Ioyce Hamilton, Diane lohnson, Elaine Hamilton, Beverly Beverlin, and Donna Simpson, two-year letter, Carolyn Erbg three- year letters, Marilyn Armstrong, Virginia Osborn, Marjorie Martin, three-year and captain, Betty Barrett, and Loleta Carpenter: a four-year letter to Mary Ann Fletcher. Managers' letters were awarded to Norma Pennington and Ruth English. Superintendent Hickman worked long and hard to coach the girls in well- grounded fundamentals which should pay off in the next few years. i,,,' THE 1949-50 FIRST TEAM THE 1949-50 BASKETBALL SQUAD THE 1949-50 SECOND TEAM 1,4949 513' Male if azxg w 'Q-if -S 7 TX: I l ggcz A gif W . . ..- .3 A A 4 mg 5 2 , ...W 3 Y . . . .

In the first games the boys were just learning HOW the game of basketball was played. After learning the fundamentals the team started on the upgrade. Towards the middle of the season they had a 6-game winning streak. The quintet entered the County Basketball Tournament and placed third. With a little more experience they entered the Sectional Tournament and placed first, which entitled them to go on to the District Tournament, where they were beat out by Glenwood. Even though handicapped by lack of size and experience the basketball team turned in a good record of 11 wins and 11 losses. Norman Brown placed on the All-Southwest Con- ference Basketball Team. r j 1 L - ' ,Q 2' xi' Y '- V ' I , L ..... . 'Fe' f . : ' Z- U, ..

With the weather hampering practice the Hamburg squad entered the County Baseball Tournament with only three workouts under their belts. Despite their lack of practice and experience the boys had their sights set on the Championship. The first round of the tournament got underway April 17, with Hamburg and Tabor and Randolph and Farragut. Hamburg defeated Tabor 3 to 2, while Farragut took out Randolph 4 to 3. The last half of the first round games pitted Riverton against Percival and Thurman against Sidney. Percival won from Riverton 10-0, while Thurman nosed out Sidney 3 to 2. Farragut and Hamburg and Thurman and Percival played in the second round games with Hamburg and Thurman the winners. Hamburg won the final game of the tournament by downing Thurman by the close score of 4 to 3. The Hamburg team is as follows: Virgil Lynn, left fieldg Gene Brown, shortstop, pitcher, Gary Langston, catcher, Jack Hollingsworth, third base: Gary Ware, center fieldg Max Rageth, second baseg Ray Kingery, first baseg Charles Barnes, right fieldg Norman Brown, pitcher. Hamburg also won the Iowa High School Sectional Baseball Tournament by defeating Sidney 8 to 5, Shenandoah 5 to 3 and Farragut in the finals 6 to 2. Many of the players who won this sectional were members of the various summer base- ball teams that the city of Hamburg so loyally supports. TRACK The Track team entered the Tri-State meet at Peru, the County Conference meet at Shenandoah, where they placed third, and participated in a dual meet. Many good individual performances were turned in at the various meets. BASEBALL SQUAD Row 1: Dixon Rageth R. Lynn Barnes Gubser D. Brown Row 2: Hollingsworth Kingery V. Lynn N. Brown G.

The Hamburg community has passed through these trials and has emerged stronger and more determined to conquer these problems each time the floods came. The United States government is spending millions of dollars in dikes and flood control to preserve the rich fertile land in the valleys around the Hamburg and adjacent communities. It is believed that the job has been done and the prosperous community in which our school is located can look forward to many happy days of Holiday and Fortune. Our Town The boosters and merchants of our town have made this book possible by their gen- erous donations of time and money. The school and staff are grateful for their excellent support. Many times the city, state and national publications have given space to problems of the towns along the rivers. Fortune and Holi- day had feature articles on the rivers in August, l949, and March, 1950. Some local people were interviewed. Both magazines caught the spirit of the courage of our town and other towns so situated. A fine tribute is paid to the great towns and cities along the rivers. We are glad we live in a community that has such outstanding traditions and history.
