Text from Pages 1 - 118 of the 1963 volume:

— 1963 ORACLE — THOMAS B. DUNSMOOR We, the members of the Oracle staff, wish to dedicate this annual to Mr. Thomas B. Dunsmoor, who has devoted his services to the Hartley schools for the past sixteen years. Mr. Dunsmoor first joined the staff as a mathematics teacher and assistant coach in all sports. He later advanced to the position of Principal, for the past 10 years he has served as Superintendent of Hartley schools. He is president of the Iowa Association of School Administrators, and is a member of the Planning Board of the Iowa Association of School Administrators. He is also a representative on the Iowa High School Athletics Association. A graduate of the Fort Dodge high school and Junior college, he obtained his Bachelor of Arts degree at the State College of Iowa, and his Master of Arts degree at the University of Colorado. He has attended Colorado University, Columbia Uni- versity, and Iowa State University for additional studies. Under Mr. Dunsmoor’s guidance. Hartley has developed into an outstanding school system. Included in his accomplishments have been a district reorganization, an addition to the elementary building, and a new high school. It is with a great deal of pride that we dedicate the Oracle to the man who has served the school and community with true concern for the youth of our schools. — 1963 ORACLE — TEACHER OF THE YEAR Mr. O. C. Abbott The Oracle staff is happy to honor Mr. Oliver C. Abbott as the first-named “Teacher of the Year.” Mr. Abbott has been a member of the Hartley faculty since 1949, coming here from Rochester.

The officers were Glenn Wehrkamp, president; Bill Blair, vice president; Dee Kolpin, secretary; and Walter Kelley, treasurer. The stand-out activities presented by the H. E. A. were the minstrel show and the math program presented at the school. The purpose of the minstrel show was to raise funds for scholarships for individuals interested in making teaching a profession. Over $800 was made from the two night presentation. The math program had 200 in attendance as Miss Brennan, Miss Houston M rs. Anderson and Mr. Wehrkamp presented new techniques and terminology in the teaching of modern math. Another activity which turned out to be quite a success was the H. E. A. Christmas party held at Stub’s in Spencer. We had 50 people in attendance. A con- tribution of $68 was made by the faculty to the scholarship fund rather than spending this money on grab-bag gifts for the party. The final activity of the 1962-1963 school year for H. E. A. will be the spring dinner, when the new officers for the H. E. A. will be announced. 1963 ORACLE — SANDY AHRENS Kind of a morning thot mokes you glod you're holf olive, isn't it?

Motto Today we follow, Tomorow we lead Colors Blue and White Flower Chrysanthemum — 1963 ORACLE — CRUSADING TO GREATER HEIGHTS May 23, 1973 Futureland, U. S. A. Dear Mother: I arrived in Futureland safely after the exciting landrush, and I’m just bubbling over with news. It certainly was a brilliant idea of our Secretary of State, Roger Anderson, for whom Karla Thiessen is secretary, to open this wonderful territory of Futureland free to the United States citizens. I must say that Captain Dennis Munster’s discovery of this beautiful island by means of his new invention, the Atmos- pheric Phylosophede, was very fortunate indeed. The most wonderful part of it all is that I know so many people here. It seems that a large number of the May ‘63 graduates of old Hartley High School have gone in for the thrill of settling this new territory. It is interesting to watch the new stores and business enterprises opening. Futureland promises to be Hollywood’s great successor. A great studio has been opened, Metro-Silver Stag. It is owned by Pam Rose. The directors are Gordon Boetel and Bob Luinstra, while their great scenario writers are Barb Wacker and Linda Pearson. The chief romantic star shines forth under the name of Jennene Hirt. The Tarzan roles are gallantly performed by Ben Wiese. Everyone in Futureland is very enthusiastic over the studio for we know it will be a great success. The funeral home here belongs to Steve Baumgarten; but Doctor Glenna Linder and her nurse, Jean Buddingh, are rendering such marvelous care to the sick of Futureland that we can’t see how Mr. Baumgarten makes a living. It has been rumored that he is in the dog biscuit business on the side. He produces “Baumgarten’s Precious Pills for Puny Pups.” We held an election last week and elected Kenny Kriens, Mayor; Arlo Winterboer. Chief of Police; Sue Brendle, District Attorney; and Vicki Mulder, Fire Chief. Lois Raw is head of the Department of Health, and Linda Nurse is Big Chief Dog Catcher. Guess what! We have a race track here. It has been called the “Strom- berg Downs”, and Paul, the owner, is very proud of the immense track. Frank Powers owns “Pass’emup , and Ervin Harders owns the gallant nag “Gunit”. We have a thriving business here called the Escort Bureau owned by Arnie Gruhn. He has hired Dennis Stoterau and Ronnie Pahl to make the girls’ hearts flutter. Ric Steinmetz and Wayne Wille, those two wonderful chemists, have given us some marvelous scientific inventions. For instance, they have patented their rubber hammer — it keeps you from hurting your thumb when you hit it; a revolving goldfish bowl, which keeps the fish from swimming around and wearing themselves out, and some ink that leaves spaces when you write, so you won’t have to pick up your pen. Dave Gonnerman manufactures soap boxes which usually find their way under those politicians, Dianna Fredericks and Linda Christie. Ray Anderson, the millionaire, donated $25,000 to the city for a large library. Three very sweet librarians are Janice Mattheis, Roma Stromberg and Teena Lloyd. I took some books out yesterday. One was a book of love lyrics by Mary Zinn and a 2000 page novel by Sandy Ahrens. I heard that Gary Bobzien, the Fuller Brush man, really got the air when he stopped at the door of housewife Cheryl Harms. The circus is coming to Futureland! All the billboards advertise Ed Dejong’s and Charles Muilenburg’s great circus. Kenny Petersen is one of the best barkers. Deena Dodge bravely tames the lions. Dianne Stanley and Judy Uhe are the clowns. Well, mother, I guess I d better close now. I’m sorry I wrote such a long letter, but I knew you would be interested in the successful outcome of all my class- mates. Love and kisses, Julie Evans — 1963 ORACLE — KNIGHTS’ CHRONICLE The spring of 1963 finds us as Knights about to be rewarded by our nobility for thirteen years of service The reward will be in the form of a graduation diploma allowing us to fulfill our vow: Today we follow; tomorrow we lead ”. Kindergarten, the first event of our chronological record, introduced seventeen new pupils to the feudalistic system of education. Our noble instructor, Miss Wanda Snow, promised us protection in return for our services. Services were rendered by the following present-day Knights: Jean Buddingh, Roma Stromberg, Paul Stromberg, Mary Zinn, Deena Dodge, Dianna Fredericks, Linda Nurse, Lois Raw, Dianne Stanley, Karla Thiessen, Gordon Boetel, Dennis Stoterau, Eric Steinmetz, Dennis Munster, Charles Muilenburg, Barbara Wacker and Ben Wiese. 195 I -52 furnished us with the opportunity to make our presence in this system of education much more evident. Many were the times the castle's lawn bore our marks . Our aristocratic guider was Miss Esther Coons. Upon returning to the castle for the 1952-53 term, we found Miss Lucille Torpy awaiting us. All attempts made by us to barter with our lord with reference to shorter working days failed. Our previous lord sold her land and us with it to Mrs. Van Hauen, a neigh- boring baron who controlled the estate known as third grade. While occupying our new training center, we met Gary Bobzien. We were lucky once again in having a member of the nobility class who was fair and kind. Because of a siege occurring in the 1955-56 term, our class split forces; thus, more strategic measures could be taken against our common enemy of illiteracy. Miss Hobart and Miss Lemming directed our educational drills. Fifth grade presented us with three new members to our class; namely, Ray- mond and Roger Anderson and David Gonnerman. Our forces once again split, were instructed by Miss Davidson and Miss Keegan. After three months of an honorable discharge from our feudalistic training, we returned to the manor labeled sixth grade. Arnie Gruhn joined our ranks while we were occupying this manor. Mrs. Hermanson and Miss Schmidt directed our learning techniques. 1957-59 made up our junior high years. During these years, our nobility awarded us with the privilege of having our football team, basketball teams, cheer- leaders, and our own float to enter in the tournament. Four new members became a contributing part of our class; they were Vicki Mulder, Kenny Petersen, Sandra Ahrens, Wayne Wille, and Arlo Winterboer. Due to extreme attacks by our enemies, we had to serve two years for our lords. At long last a special ceremony was held for us to give us permission to advance to the position of Vassals. We now faced four more categories of advancement before we could receive the nobility’s promised award for our endurance and faithful allegiance. A strong group of barbarians attacked the castle during our 1959-60 term. However, we managed to capture ten of the group and persuaded them to become members of our class of Vassals. The group of converted barbarians was comprised of Ed Dejong, Ervin Harders. Jennene Hirt, Kenny Kriens, Glenna Linder, Bob Luinstra, Ronnie Pahl, Linda Pear- son, Frank Powers, and Lois Raw. Dave Gonnerman abandoned our castle for an- other located in Phoenix. Arizona. A joust between Knights and Vassals occurred when we were required to do special services for the Knights during the week of initiation. Being a progressive group, we devised a design for our tournament float that hadn't yet been heard of; namely, a steamboat with the motto Steaming to Victory”. The judges’ opinion of this modernistic design proved to be favorable since we were given first place. The Knights had been disgraced by our victory. 1960-61 found us advanced from the position of Vassals to that of Pages. Tournament time found our We’ll Play Their Blues” float theme in second place. During this term, some of the Pages performed as troubadours and minstrels for the pleasure of the Knights and Squires. Work, work, and more work for our lords was performed until we were at last allowed to advance to the position of Squires. Steve Baumgarten joined our ranks. — 1963 ORACLE — KNIGHTS’ CHRONICLE (continued) As Squires we found ourselves challenged to do more and greater things. The challenge was met with full force! Capitalizing on our study of nature brought us a I rating from the judges at the tournament. “We’ll be Victorious” proved to be a fitting title for our float. A morality play was performed by the Squires entitled Tammy. Tell Me True”. We Squires entertained the Knights and nobility class on the night of May 18 at our exclusive “Dew Drop Inn . Now we are members of the Knight class. Thirteen years have passed since we were introduced to this system. Soon we will leave it behind us. Dave Gonnerman. Teena Lloyd, and Pam Rose became members of our class. Many of us experienced the Black Plague at the beginning of our Knight year. This plague was in the form of ACT tests taken at Orange City. The Vassals were charged with felony, non- performance of their feudal duties, and found guilty of those charges by the Knights. Their punishment consisted of initiation at the hands of their superiors, the Knights. A successful tournament was experienced by our castle. After the exciting experience, we were entertained by Jesters in the gym of our castle. Feudalism is beginning to decay; its end will occur when the last of our Knights is awarded his diploma on the night of May 23. KNIGHTS’ INVESTITURE We, the Knights of Hartley High School, county of O’Brien, state of Iowa, being of ques- tionable mind, in ill health, and half-alive, do leave to our friends on this twenty-third day of May this last will and testament. We hope they will benefit from our many errors. ARTICLE I Section I To the faculty we leave all thumbtacks, erasers, chalk, and gum underneath the seats. Our only regret is that we did not get to help initiate the new high school. ARTICLE II Section I To the Juniors we will our ability to succeed in every endeavor. May you use it wisely and abundantly. Section II To the Sophomores we leave our ability to make 99’s on the ITED tests. We have a feeling that the Nobility class would ap- preciate it. Section III To the Freshmen we leave our class spirit of cooperation and friendliness. Use it well and you, too, will enjoy a successful Knight- hood. ARTICLE III Section I I, Sandy Ahrens, leave my ability for traffic violations to Tom Neilsen so the town won’t go broke. I, Ray Anderson, leave the family Falcon to Bob Ische so he will be able to start his own fleet. I, Roger Anderson, will to Larry Back, Curtis Buddingh, and Ronald Winterboer absolutely nothing, because I’m stingy and they have everything they need. I, Steve Baumgarten, forsake my great abil- ity in sports to Charles Stearns so he may go on to fame and fortune. I, Gary Bobzien, relinquish my nickname ‘Snort’ to Eddie Schierholz so he can also have a nickname. I, Gordon Boetel, leave my ability to be carefree to Edwin Harders. I, Sue Brendle, bestow my weight problem upon Bev Kluender and Jane Hansen so that they might know what it is like. I, Jean Buddingh, grant my monotone voice to Kella Klinker so that mixed chorus will get first place at contest next year. — 1963 ORACLE — KNIGHTS’ INVESTITURE (continued) I, Chris Christie, yield my sharp cutoffs, butch haircut, dyes and tints, and my non- conformity to Carmen Hennings and Carol Lage so the class of '64 will have some unique members. I, Ed Dejong, present Keith Rachuy with the ability to hit mail boxes. I, Deena Dodge, gladly supply Karen Schwarting with my shortness. Wear it in good health. I, Dianna Fredericks, decided to wait to see what Mary willed. Look down the list .... I, Dave Gonnerman, turn over my good driving record and traffic tickets to Donald Groff and Greg Taylor. I, Arnie Gruhn, bequeath my athletic skills to Kenny Hewitt and Larron Swanson to keep Hartley in the conference race. I, Irvin Harders, leave my curly hair to Joel Peck so he won’t have to curl his hair each night. I, Cheryl Harms, abandon the privilege of sitting between Kenny Hewitt and Dennis Klinker in third period study hall to either Mary Heimsoth or Dixie Torner. You’re sure to get so much done! I, Jennene Hirt, donate my long fingernails to Mary Lu Lorch to provide her with at least two months of biting. I, Kenny Kriens, yield my ability to mix up the chicas” and “chistes” in Spanish tests to Gary Robinson. Good luck ! I, Glenna Linder, bequest to Sue Luinstra a similar stone to the one I wear on my left hand. I, Teena Lloyd, confer moving in the middle of my senior year to anyone who wants it. I, Bob Luinstra, refuse to yield but will share my way with out-of-town girls to Ken Gonnerman and Rodney Groen. I, Janice Mattheis, leave my ability to go on a diet to individuals in the Junior class who would like to use it. I, Charles Muilenburg, contribute my ability to keep out of trouble to Bob Idso. I have the feeling he might need it. I, Vicki Mulder, endow my dislike of physi- cal fitness tests to Joan Holland and Janice Linder. Thank goodness I’m rid of them! I, Dennis Munster, favor Craig Snider with my superior physical form. I, Linda Nurse, convey my flag twirling knowledge to Billie Vezina. I, Ronnie Pahl, leave the ability to get into Government first semester to Greg Kaiser in case he too decides not to go out for track. I, Linda Pearson, furnish Lonnie Fahlen- kamp with the ability to come home early since Janet needs all the beauty sleep she can get. I, Kenneth Petersen, would leave my XL to Terry Hartmann if I could stand to part with it so that Carol could find out how cold nights can be. I, Frank Powers, award Bruce Bethke with my ability to stay away from girls. I, Lois Raw, make a present of my trips to Spencer to Bev Sauer, Marlene Meyer, and Connie Walrod so the town stays alive. I, Pam Rose, furnish my pom pom for Bon- nie Jacobson and Pat Gathman to be taken to every game in order to annoy those who are trying to watch the action. I, Dianne Stanley, entrust my flashy car to Donna Funk or Mary Hoff so all law en- forcement officers will be kept busy. I, Ric Steinmetz, pledge my enthusiasm in Spanish to Dennis Klinker and Cheryl Kern. I, Dennis Stoterau, will share my car-wreck- ing ability with Tom Gonnerman and Doug Ruby since they’llmost likely make use of it. I, Paul Stromberg, pawn my big Buick to Dean Riessen and Daryl Rachuy so they can burn up the roads at night. I, Roma Stromberg, loan my trumpet ability to Charles Mann. Keep it, for I may want it back. I, Karla Thiessen, leave all my headaches of this section to Mary Anderegg, Marlene Norling, and Karen Romey. You’ll have plenty of them next year! I, Judy Uhe, offer my ability to get a I at District Speech contest to Tom Epping and DeAnn Crowner. I, Barb Wacker, do regretfully leave my secretarial training to Janice Paulsen, Sandra Groen, and Jeannie Swenson. I, Ben Wiese, leave my lab know-how to Dan Cooper and Mary Zahn. — 1963 ORACLE — KNIGHTS' INVESTITURE (continued) I, Wayne Wille, bestow my long bus rides to Doug Thee and “Sonny” Recher so they can also be completely exhausted by the time they reach school. I, Arlo Winterboer, hand down my knack of sleeping in study halls to Wayne Smith and Don Mielke. They're very refreshing! We, Mary Zinn and Dianna Fredericks, share our ability to giggle, knowledge of Judo, and our three-part harmony with Rox- anne Goering and Konnie Anderson so there will still be two goof-off” twirlers. Section II If any of you are disappointed with your in- heritance, remember it’s too late; we re DEAD to the feudalistic world of education. In witness thereof, we have hereunto set our hand and seal this twenty-third day of May. in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and sixty-three.
