— THE 1956 ORACLE — THE 1953 SCHOOL BOARD Seoted — Horry Ketelsen, Virgil Treimer, Horry Olhousen, A. Bortelson. Standing — T. B. Dunsmoor, Roger Potter, Sid Terpstro. This, the 1956 Oracle, is dedicated to the school board of 1953 who so ardently worked to promote the $ 1 80,000 bond issue for our new addition to the school. We also pay tribute to the present school board who were instrumental in the supervision of the construction. Their efforts will always be remembered when we look with pride at the modern addition. The bond issue was voted on December 15, 1953. Construction began in May, 1954, on seven classrooms, an all-purpose room including a kitchen, offices, and a teach- ers lounge. On April I. 1955, the classrooms and offices were occupied for the first time. Dedication ceremonies took place on November 21, 1955. Walter Dean was the architect, and Leanard DeStigter, the general contractor. THE PRESENT SCHOOL BOARD Seated — Carl Ruby, Roger Potter, Harry Olhousen, Sid Terpstro, Dr. J. C. Peterson. Standing — Ed Popp, T. B Dunsmoor, Virgil Treimer. Page One — THE 1956 ORACLE FOREWARD This, the 1955-1956 Oracle marks the 20th anniversary of the publication. We, the staff, have endeavored to make this edition a lasting record of the many treasured moments of the past year. In this yearbook we have tried to present, through pictures and carefully chosen words, the sad, joyful, and humorous events of the past school year. Countless hours of planning, writing, and assembling have been spent in order that wc might bring you this Oracle. We are honored that we were your staff. We hope you will treasure this book, and in later years let it be a reminder of the wonderful days spent at Hartley High. — 7 he Staff Editor-in-chief: Marilynn Schierholz Assistant Editor: Ardine Welch Business Manager: Melva Schmoll Assistant Salesmen: Earl Sampson Barbara Rounds Marlys Gruhn Marlys Klinker Sports Editors: Norman Kearney Jo Anne Raber Snapshots: Shirley Sampson Music: Kay Vezina Dramatics: Joanne Liedtke Typists: Peggy Scharnberg Jo Ann Steen Janice McCarty Betty Noonan Class Writers: Jeanette Watts Kay DeBoer Sharon Zahn Beverly Reinke Janeen Skinner Betty Speck Glenda Meyer Lois Linder Cleone Meyer Sponsor: Mr. Howard Borchard Rage Two — THE 1956 ORACLE — SHARON ZAHN.

Fage Fourteen — THE 1956 ORACLE — SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS While Rose Milo Peters, vice president; John Schuett, treasurer; Morilynn Schier- holz, secretory; Darrell Denny, president. We accept the challenge.” Cerise and Silver SENIOR CLASS HISTORY It was August 30, 1943, on a special Monday morning that 22 youngsters start- ed their first day of school. Young ladies and gentlemen, holding tight to their mother's hand, made their way through the doors of this, our beloved school. A senior class left from the top and a new group joined at the bottom. The teacher of this new class. Miss Mable Borland, greeted these anxious but wondering boys and girls on this very first day of school. Among these sweet innocent children were such personalities as Larry Albrecht. Glenda Rae Henning. Leonna Hewitt, Mary Jager, Norman Kearney, Dean Krueger, Carolyn Kruse, Connie LeMay, Joanne Liedtke, Kay Mohr, Lester Muilenburg. Richard Olhausen, David Roth, Earl Sampson, Danny Shinkle, Thais Triplett, Kay Vezina, Dean Weimer, LeRoy Walker, Carolyn Wiess, Jim Giesel, and Darlene Schoonmaker. In our primary year one left and no one came. After three short months of vacation 2 I pupils were again greeted by school bells. Our new teacher’s name was Miss Wittier. School started on August 28, 1944, and we were very important first graders. We had our own desks and no more rest periods of ly- ing on the floor on our little rugs. This year we acquired Kenneth Hahn, Richard Nissen. Jane Butler, and Rita Thorne. Thais I riplett left us. Nine new scholars greeted us the morning of September 3, 1945. They were Roger Brower, Gaylord Muilenburg, Marjorie Strayer. Janice Froelick, Clyde Kramme. Joan Epping, Caroline McAnnally, Curtis Bremer and Leora Lee Olson. Now our class had increased to 31. The new teacher that was to handle these little demons of the school was Miss Dorothy Querna. We certainly were getting up in the world; we were now second graders We reached the top, but it surely was going fast. The class lost three that year — Jane Butler. David Roth, and Darlene Schoonmaker. Page Fifteen — THE 1956 ORACLE — CLASS HISTORY (continued) Then came Monday, September 4, 1946, and with it the third graders moved across to the west hall. It seemed as though we all liked third grade. Maybe it was be- cause of our very pretty teacher. Miss Johnson. Seven students joined our class that year — Darrell Denny, Donald Everson, Naomi Harold. Rodney Knight, Cleone Meyer, Verlyn Kruschwitz, and Janice Mc- Carty. We lost eight — Richard Nissen, Carolyn Kruse. Carolyn Weiss. Jim Giesel, Kenneth Hahn, Clyde Kramme, Curtis Bremer, and Leora Olson. However, as the year ended, the class was still twenty-one pupils strong. Miss Joan Harmelink greeted us fourth graders on September 2, 1947, as we continued to climb up in this world. We gained two new personalities — Harold Wills and Jane Baum. And, as the year before, we lost eight students — Donald Everson, Glenda Henning, Leona Hewitt, Rodney Knight, Dean Krueger, Caroline McAnnally, Gaylord Muilenburg, and Lester Muilenburg. Now we had only fifteen pupils. As fifth graders Arthur Back, Curtis Jass, Gary Ott, Arlyn Lustfield, and Shir- ley Sampson joined our happy group. Our teacher. Miss Meyer; our destination, to finish grade school somehow. We lost live valuable pupils — Roger Brower, Darrell Denny. Janice Froelick, Cleone Meyer, and Jane Baum. Next came sixth grade under the direction of Miss Jones. Barbara Terpstra, Vance Kelley, and Bruce Ewoldt joined our clan, but Rita Thorne left us. Our class was now composed of twenty-one at the close of the year. On September 3, 1951. twenty-three of us began our last year in grade school. Although Miss Koch still greeted us, we had to break in a new teacher known as Mr. box. Later that year we were joined by Karen Golla, Betty Muilenburg, Betty Hilbert, and Roy Petersen, but before the close of the year Roy left us. We numbered 53 strong as we entered high school that September morning in '53. This year we had many new classmates' names to learn. They were Jon Bobzien, Darrell Denny. Tom Ferguson, Gene Glaser, Clifford Muilenburg, Richard Nissen, Milo Peters, LeRoy Post, John Schuett, Lyle Stoterau, Arlo Tewes, Marlin Wimmer, Ila Bobzien, Margie Berry, Mary Ann Koele, Cleone Meyer, Betty Noonan, JoAnne Raber, Peggy Scharnberg, Marilynn Schierholz, Kathryn Schmidt, Melva Schmoll, Janeen Skinner, JoAnn Steen, and Ardine Welch. We all survived initiation with gunny sacks, pantaloons, short pants, high heels, work shoes, overshoes, push-ups, and hot seats. But man, what fun! All good things must come to an end, and so did our freshman year, after a thrilling trip to Des Moines to watch our girls play the state champs. We were proud to have Joan Epping, a member of our class, on that team. We ended our big year by a picnic at the lakes. What fun, even though we were all soaked to the skin from the thrill- ing speed boat rides. This ended the days at Hartley High for Naomi Harold and Ila Bobzien. Page Sixteen — THE 1956 ORACLE — CLASS HISTORY (continued) After three glorious months of vacation, we returned to old H. H. S. a year older and none the wiser. Mr. Abbott was soon to learn that the sophomore class was composed of “mad biologists. Those poor animals! LeRoy Walker left us that year, but we were soon joined by Larry Duncan, who proved to be our track star. Our class candidates, Janeen Skinner and Vance Kelley, reigned over our Home- coming that yeai. At last we were juniors! We started the year with 49, but it seemed as though some liked married life better and left us, these being Mary Ann Koele and Betty Muil- tnburg. Later we lost Marlin Wimmer to Everly, and LeRoy Post to the Army. Karen Severance joined our class to round it out to a full 46. One of the greatest days of our junior year was the day we were called out of class to order our class rings. What a thrill it was to slip those rings on for the first time! Some were soon wrapped with tape while others hung on chains around that “special” one's neck. Every class has its actors and actresses and we were no exception. Our class play was Everyone Works But Father. It was quite a deal. We’ll never forget Karen Sever- ance in her gaudy dress and with those bandages on her face! We had quite the time. Gay Paree!! Our Junior-Senior Banquet!!! What fun we had after a meal fit for a king and a dance afterwards with those late hours and loads of fun. As our friends of the Senior Class received their diplomas, we shed a tear or two, for we were next in line. We passed our last three months’ vacation. We were now “the wheels” — the SENIORS! !! Another girl, Mary Jager, left us to join the ranks of Mrs., but Kenneth Schaa joined us to keep our class at 47. We were without Lyle Stoterau for the first semester and were glad to have him back with us the last half of the year. Our majorette, Betty Hilbert, lead our band on to another I rating to add anoth- er to our three I’s. And Homecoming! We didn’t have the winning float this year, but Marilynn Schierholz reigned over Homecoming with Gene Glaser and her two attendants, Joanne Liedtke and Ardine Welch. Smile at the birdie, and snap — our pictures were taken. Gee, they look just like me! was the comment as we looked at our proofs. So, we climaxed our years in H. H. S. Be it Skip Day, a Junior-Banquet or a Senior Class Play, we did our best to make it a success, and in the years to come we’ll all look back on all the fun and laughter we had together. We’ll never forget good old H. H. S.!!! Page Seventeen — THE 1956 ORACLE — LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE SENIOR CLASS We. the Senior Class of ‘56, being of sound mind and body, despite what the teachers may say, do hereby leave to you just a small percentage of our many outstanding qualities, too many to even begin to mention, with the profound hope that the future sen- iors will be just one-tenth the great class we were. Well, enough of that — so here goes! I. Danny Shinkle, discoverer of how to fly in an automobile, leave this discovery to Den- nis Ewoldt so our highways will be more safe on which to drive. I, Ardine Welch, hereby bequeath and bestow upon Marlene Schwein my blushing abil- ity so the class of ‘57 will have a modest maiden among them. I, Janeen Skinner, will my artistic ability to Mable Groff so the Echo will have a good art editor next year. I, Leonna Hewitt, will my love for Neebel's Danceland to Thelma Shaefer so it will still be popular with the school kids in '57. I, Cleone Meyer, will my ability in all the school activities to Glenda Meyer to keep the tradition in the family. 1, Richard Olhausen, will my card-playing ambitions to Gerald Nissen so Shouse’s can stay open. I, Harold Wills, pass my football ability on down to my little kid brother, Larry Wills, to keep the team in the running. I, Bruce Ewoldt, will my intellectual capacity to Bob Anderson so the physics class may be doubly assured of a brilliant brain. I, Kathryn Schmidt, will my polite quietness to Mary Lou Westphal because I must leave something to one of those juniors. I, Phyllis Kruckenberg, will my love for horseback riding to Sharon Harms so the class of '57 will have an animal lover in the midst. I, Janice McCarty, will my arguing ability to my brother. Larry McCarty, although he really has enough of his own. I, Karen Golla, the cheerleader who can turn those excellent cartwheels, leave my ability to Sharon Lux so she might be able to turn one in her senior year. I, Earl Sampson, leave to Jay Hofmeyer my love for fishing so that he can tell some more of his fish stories. I, Karen Severance, will my tallness to Karen Wiese so she won’t have to look up so far to see Roger. I. Vance Kelley, the pride of Hartley’s Band, will my flighty fingering on the clarinet to Betty Dykstra so her clarinet playing will remind her of me next year. I, Joanne Liedtke, will my sparkling rock to Pat Foley so she may glitter through the halls come fall. I. Joan Epping, peppy post forward on our basketball team, will my scoring ability to Marlys Gruhn so her name can head the scoring list next year. I, Yvonne English, will my design of laughter to Janna Faye Dodge so the seniors will have one giggling girlie in their class. I, Milo Peters, president of the Hartley High School Band, will my honorable office to Joe Wille because the band would be lost without a president. I. Betty Hilbert, being of sound mind and body, leave my ability to operate the movie projector so inefficiently to Rita Thorne. There should be one girl in the movie business each year. — THE 1956 ORACLE — LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT (continued) I, Peggy Scharnberg, leave my love for Army men to Jeanette Boetel because army guys need someone to write to. I. JoAnn Steen bequeath my way with the Moneta fellows to Marilyn Peterson. Someone must keep Hartley on good terms with Moneta. I, Gene Glaser, nifty dancer of the modern age, will my ability to Delmar Brockshus so Melvin as well as Hartley may have that swing and sway. I. Larry Duncan, the guy who always knows what time it is, bestow my impersonations of Howdy Doody upon Leland Glaser. We wouldn’t want his talent to leave HHS. I, Kenny Schaa, will my way with women to Gilbert Denny so he can be a roaming Romeo. I, Arthur Back, willfully will my knack for staying out of trouble to Norman Kroese. Hartley High should have a shining speck of goodness. I, Evelyn Harms, chief cook and bottle washer for Red’s Cafe, leave my occupation to Denice Dykstra so she can have dishpan hands.
