— 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, 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, 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.

— 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, 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.
