H oover High began as a dream ... a patch of land, an architect ' s drawing. The idea grew, surveyors came, the empty shell took on concrete form. Hoover opened August 28, 1967. ..uncom- pleted, with experi- enced faculty, excited sophomores, eager juniors. We peeked in classrooms, listened to sounds of construction, met old friends, saw new faces. As the year continued we created new ideas . . . organized clubs, formed friendships, established traditions. We experienced new teaching techniques, worked under loads of homework, developed spirit and determination even after defeat. This first year we made imprints to be followed by future generations. 7 Faculty Academics High School: the troubled, uncertain, funfilled days of our lives. Learning is the most important part of these days. Academically as well as socially, the skills and understanding aquired dur- ing this time helped each individual to grow and pre- pare better for tomorrow. To guide us in this learning were our teachers and ad- ministrators, who treated each of us as individuals with individual problems. Each experience of ac- complishment and failure left an imprint on which to improve ourselves for the future. Dr. Wetter Gets Hoover During the summer of 1967 there was much speculation whether Hoover High would be finished in time for the fall term. There was one man, however, who w as determined thai it would be, and that it would soon become one of the finest schools in the country. That man was Dr. Don- ald M. W etter, the first principal of Hoover High School. Amidsl the turmoil of the con struction of the building, one could always Find Dr. Wetter, the man who continued working long after the workmen had gone. Among his most important responsibilities were select- ing the faculty, organizing the PTA, and scheduling athletic events. With twenty-eight years of experi- ence in education, Dr. Wetter has spent six of these ears in the Des Moines School System. He taught mathematics at I ' oosevclt and then served as principal and vice-principal at North before coming to Hoover. His experience, along with his optimism, endurance, and most of all, his patience, have given the students and teachers much faith in Hoover ' s In! ure. Eager to complete Hoover for the first semester, Dr. Wetter leaves his administrative duties to unpack new furniture. Mr. Wendell Miskimins Vice-Principal Miss Vera Kendall Girls ' Adviser Off to a Good Start Always eager and willing to help were the student advisors, Miss Vera Kendall, and Vice-Principal Mr. Wendell Miskimins. Besides their regular duties of counseling and solving disc iplinary problems, these two energetic people helped out in other areas. Miss Kendall arranged the buses for the out- of-town games, sponsored the Girl ' s Club, and was social chairman of the school. Mr. Miskimins supplied and organized the tem- porary concession stands, was bookkeeper for the athletic department, and was co- sponsor of Hoys ' Club. Miss Kendall listens attentively as Sandy Villaboim tells her about her trip from Brazil. The first few weeks of school were hectic ones. Not only did Mr. Miskimins supervise concessions, he even had to sell them. Social Adjustments Goal of Counselors Social and academic adjustments wore tin- main goals of the guidance department. I hree lull time counselors filled the positions. The were kept bus throughout the year completing student files, planning schedules, and making changes. Even though there were no seniors, juniors were offered the opportunity to meet representatives from numerous colleges. Also a new device, College Entrance View Deck, helped students select a college on the basis of cost, location, ownership, and majors. Besides scheduling programs, the counselors took time to listen to report card gripes, student-teacher conflicts, and personal problems. Mr. Jankovit helps junior Sue Payne interpret the data revealed on the College Lntrance View Deck, as she tries to select a suitahlc college. Mr. Robert Jankovitz Mr. Harold Olsen Mr. Ken Wittkop Chairman Secretaries Display Ability Frantically, Mrs. Duggan types the endless pages of philosophy notes for Mr. Fleming ' s students. May I have your attention, please? begged Mrs. Jean Fuller as slie began to read the end- less lists of announcements which began and ended each day. This was just one of the numerous tasks tarried out hy the office staff. The business of a high school must be handled efficiently lor a school to operate smoothly. A staff of a registrar, a teacher aide, counselor and attendance clerks, and two secretaries were necessary to accomplish this at I [cover. I on 4 before sc hool began last fall, the office staff, including Dr. Wetter, Mr. Mis kimins, and Miss Kendall, were working all summer setting up records, enrolling students, and receiving supplies, equipment, and text- books. It wasn ' t an easy job operating out of their temporary office which was set up in a hallway at Meredith Junior High, while Hoover was being completed. Even when school dismisses for summer and other vacations, these workers continue to perform their duties of serving the school. A cold doesn ' t keep Mrs. Holland from coming to work. Here she types reports for Mr. Miskimins, while Mrs. Fuller answers the telephone, which constantly interrupts their busy day.

There were also some changes in the curricu- lum. For the first time in Des Moines, the sophomores were required to take one semester of speech as part of their 1 nglish program. They studied listening, phonetics, public speaking, oral in- terpretation, and discussion. Many different techniques were also used in the junior English classes. Guitars captured the rhythm and mean- ing of poetry in some classes, while an- other presented a play, Our Town, with only one week of rehearsal. Among the most challenging c lasses was that of journalism, which sent students scurrying through the halls before and after school and during sixth hour in an attempt to meet deadlines for the bi-weekly new spaper, The Chal- lenger. Because of the active interest shown by students, elective courses were offered in speech, drama, and debate which helped those participants develop their talents in school productions and statewide contests, winning recognition for themselves and Hoover.

Besides his teaching duties, he is the athletic director and, along with Dr. Wetter, set up the entire athletic program before school started. Independent Study Used in Although Mr. Adams was sometimes known as the varsity basketball coach, he gained his greatest recognition as a history teacher (???). Mrs. Marguerite Piltingsrud American History Mr. Jerry Stihvell W orld History Mr. Kenneth Tannatt American History Social Science Department The new mode of teaching history introduced by Hoover ' s social science instructors seemed ideally designed to the building. Both centered upon the idea of independent study, or discovering and learning for oneself. Students were not given a list of facts, data, and terms to memorize, hut rather had to search for whys ' ' and hows on their own. One case was Mr. Michael Fleming ' s soph- omore classes who studied the world wars. Each class was divided into three parties: Communist, Nazi, and Socialist. A mock campaign and election were held for premier of Germany, and each group gave a speech before other history classes on why they were best suited for the position. Students in the classes voted for the party of their choice. Other classes played a simulation game called War or Peace where students divided into imaginary countries and formed treaties, chose leaders, and learned how actual diplomats negotiate. It was the feeling of all social science teachers that an emphasis must be put on the skills of being a political or social human being, as well as an emphasis on learning factual data. I ' d say ' Ahvecna ' is about here, Dave Craft points out during the War or Peace game. Representing Hoover in the Model United Nations at the University of Northern Iowa were Jon Ahltjuist , Pat Russell, George Lawson, Cathy Lrlandson, Mike Tremble, and Gail Miller. 17 Miss Ruth Davison Geometry Advanced Algebra Chairman Mr. Jerry Gay Algebra Geometry Mr. A. Wilson Goodwin Advanced Algebra Mr. Robert Watson Geometry Advanced Algebra Mr. Joe Zimmerman Geometry Math Appreciation 18 New Heights Reached One of the most versatile courses taught throughout a student ' s school years, especially emphasized in high school, is mathematics. The principles of this subject arc used everyday whether it be in engineering, elec- tronic computing, music, or telling time. Hoover ' s classrooms were espec- ially designed for greater convenience. Mr. A. Wilson Goodwin met with architects before the construction of Hoover to designate specifically how he wanted the classrooms. Each class was to be equipped with three black- boards and a maximum number of electrical outlets. A new course, Math Appreciation, was offered at Hoover the second semester. This course did not involve [earning the principles, theorems, and hypotheses of mathematics, but rather how math is applied to everyday things. Because of the difference in indi- vidual progress, the math teachers felt that each student should be placed at a level w here he could best understand, and where he was most interested. For this reason, individual help was easily obtainable. Besides the teachers themselves, there were tutors in the math study center before and after school. For further advance- ment, four printing computers and a Triden computer also were available. Taking time out from making mobiles, Mr. Zimmerman and his class do some bookwork. in Math Courses Mr. Nemec, Mr. Murphy, Mr. Sweeney, and Mr. Ludwig stand in the food line ' at the faculty Christmas party. Gee, he ' s smart, thinks student teacher Mr. Ron Hover as Roger Allen demonstrates how his conductivity apparatus works.

Some of the advantages of taking a foreign language are to broaden one ' s education, to use in future travel, to aid English because of the foreign derivation of many Eng- lish words, and to gain knowledge of foreign cultures. Hoover had as extensive an enrollment, percentage-wise, as any other Des Moines high school tli is year. Students were able to use such facilities as a language lab and study center to aid in learning new skills in speaking and listening. Scouting a little early, aren ' t you Coach? Mr. Hollingsworth shows off his son, David Anthony, to Mr. Hodam. The Hollingsworths received the first silver baby spoon, a tradition started by the faculty for new additions to the families. The language lab helps French and Spanish students develop speaking skills with oral exercises. 22 Who ' s conducting the band while Mr. Ruble proves he really CAN play the baritone? Mrs. Esther Elliot Art One special project of the art class was to make rugs. Gail Johnson works on her original design. Mr. Gary Lewis Vocal Music Talent Found In Fine Arts In the area of fine arts, Hoover certainly displayed a great deal of talent. The school had some of the finest musi- cians in the citj and in the state. The orchestra was the largest, and was praised as the best in the city. In addition to holding daily hand and orchestra classes, Mr. Don Ruble met individually once a week with each section. Two vocal music classes were offered at Hoover: girls ' glee club and concert choir. As in most sections, proper facilities were missing at first, but this provided no deterent to fine-sounding vocal groups. Seven programs were presented the first year. For one program, the vocal groups traveled to Toledo, Iowa. Art students had main opportunities to show their talents by displaying works in art shows, the various showcases, and by making many unique posters publicizing school events. There are three classrooms within the art complex: one for visual art, one for applied art, plus a ceramic workroom. The first day the Concert Choir robes arrived was an exciting and hectic time for its members. Mr. Donald Ruble Instrumental Music Business Education Offers Personal, Vocational Gain There were two objectives in the business education department this year. One was to give students a basic business education course; the other, to create vocational competency in certain students. Vocational opportunities were pro- vided For areas of business employ- ment in which there is a definite need, and for students who are able to profit from the instruction. Typing, shorthand, nolehand, commercial geography, commercial algrebra, sales- manship, and bookkeeping were offered this year. All this tongue-biting concentration for just 10 words a minute? Do they expect us to sit on the floor and type?

Attitude Stressed in Driver Ed One of the most popular and informa- tive subjects is driver education. The ease was no different at Hoover where the importance of a good driver attitude w as emphasized. Forty-eight students had the opportun- ity to take the course the first semester, under the direction of Mr. Don Mauro. With the addition of five rotating teach- ers and a simulator, some four hundred students were able to participate in driver education the second semester. Each Student rotated from the class- room, driving in one of the four cars, and the simulator daily. Classroom activ- ities varied from learning about the con- struction and operation of a car to the v iewing of gruesome mov ies. The three main goals stressed were safety, smooth traffic, and enjoyable driving. And they say soldiers are brave, comments Mr. Stark as he embarks on another mission almost impossible.

Surmounts Limitations I i n though there were very few facilities in the physical education department, classes proved to be inter- esting and unique due to the ingenuity of the instructors. During the fall when weather permitted, the girls went on hikes and were able to learn the funda- mentals of golf. Boys ' classes played football and soccer, and had an intro- duction to the history and techniques of archery. It was a happy day when the pool was ready for use. Although both boys and girls welcomed the new facility, boys encountered long hair conflicts and girls were faced with droopy hair- do ' s. The teachers ' feelings were that every student should learn to swim by graduation time, and they put all their efforts into trying to fulfill this goal. Besides swimming, class activities included tumbling, wrestling, exercises, square-dancing, and ping-pong. Mr. Lintler watches his top archers Dave John, Barry Forsyth, Smith Thornton, and Dave Hayward, take aim. Teachers would not believe how wide-awake these boys could be. 26 Miss Bloomcamp Physical Education Miss Hcrrick Physical Education Mr. William Ilodam Physical Education Chairman Mr. David Einder Physical Education Home Ec f Shop Prepare Students for Future Mrs. Patricia Mr. Gene Tychsen Papenheim Industrial Arts Home Economics Watch your fingers! Self preservation becomes a vital part of woodworking shop as Mark Tiedemen works industriously. Home-making is a course which can provide advance- ment in such fields as fashion designing, interior decor- ating, professional cooking and sewing, or equally impor- tant proficient homemaking. After completing this course, girls are more capable of planning meals, wardrobes, and family budgets. W ithin the homemaking department, many modern facilities gave the girls the feeling of actually working in a newly-built home. Six kitchens, ten sewing machines, a washer, a dryer, a dish washer, and a model room with home furnishings added to the acquaintance and use of modern-day facilities. Boys Participate in Industrial Arts Although most people referred to industrial arts as shop is was actually much more than that. It was a significant part of general education which provided students with an opportunity to learn about the theoretical and practical aspects of industry and technology, two basic elements in our society. This helped many boys, who had not thought about their future, begin to get an idea as to what they would like to do. Although for the first couple of months, there was no equipment, numerous excellent facilities were finally added, including one large drafting room, a White Printer that reproduced drawings, and a special wood- working area that enabled students to become better acquainted with woods and the many work tools. Hard work in Mr. Tychsen ' s mechanical drawing classes builds tomorrow ' s architects and industrial designers. 27 Mr. Gary Anderson Mathematics Miss Mcrna Chipp .Mathematics Mrs. Charlotte Danielson Drama, Speech Miss Marcia Hall English Mrs. Nancy James History Cadet Teachers Train at Hoover Giving teachers-to-be actual class- room experience was one of the reasons For having cadet teachers. Most students who studied w ith one of Hoover ' s 1 1 cadets will agree that they were interest- ing people w ho livened-up their respective classes. One of the most memorable events of the year was the marriage of Miss Krebs, a cadet under Mrs. Ruth Laws, to Mr. Ron Danielson, who taught in the room next door. Their wedding took place Christmas vacation, and when school reconvened students had a hard time remembering Miss Krebs as Mrs. Dan- ielson. Not pictured is Miss Carol New sum who taught art with Mrs. Esther Elliot the first semester.

Mrs. Dorothy Boehm Nurse Mrs. Maxine Walker Library Clerk Mrs. Hilda Womack Librarian Nurse, Librarian Serve Students Throughout the year, when anyone needed a medical excuse from school, Celt ill, suffered an injury, or had a headache, there was at least one person to turn to — Mrs. Dorothy Boehm, the school nurse. The nurse ' s office is an essential part of every school, and it was no different at Hoover. Pleasant Studying Spacious and quiet, with a luscious carpet, acoustical ceiling and modern furniture, Hoover ' s library was very inviting to those who wanted or needed to Study. A photo-copy machine, a typing room, and the halcom study area were among the other facilities to aid students. Whenever special assistance was needed to find certain hooks or reference materials, it was here one could always find Mrs. Hilda Womack, the librarian, and Mrs. Maxine Walker, libran clerk. Laura Loutzcnhiser and Charlotte Parker enjoy the shocking convenience of Hoover ' s photo-copy machine. All in favor say aye??? Hoover students take hearing test.

Cafeteria, Janitorial Staffs Keep Hoover ' s Efficiency Level High There were two staffs who put in even longer hours than the fatuity and the office staffs. The cafeteria workers joined in with the students in their complaints of early-year lunchroom facilities. Gradu- all with the completion of our kitchen and the addition of concession stands, vending machines, and conveyor belts all of Hoover ' s lunchroom facilities were put to use. The first set of cafeteria workers arrived at Meredith Junior High at 6:30 a.m. each morning. They began coming to Hoover at 10:30 a.m. Then, after endless hours of cleaning-up, the ladies were able to leave at 3:30 p.m. The custodial staff, too, began at 6:30, but one crew didn ' t leave until 1 1 p.m. They were responsible for help- ing set up assemblies, preparing the open houses, and cleaning up after school events besides their daily duties during the day. Known as Jack to the late-working journalism students, Kenneth Francisco typifies the industrious custodians, who endlessly worked to maintain a spot- less school. Here they come! Hungry students kept Mr. Miskimins, Anita Stutzman, Chris Jacobsen, Sheryl Constance, and Karen Biggs busy in the concession stand at lunch and before and after school. Famished students receive their lunches from the busy cafeteria workers. The 1967-68 School Board that devoted so much of their time and energy to the prohlcms of Hoover included The Reverend L. Rohert Keck, Mr. Arthur Davis, Mr. Ora F.. Niffenegger, Herrold V. Mann (secretary), Mr. John 1!. Havdon (president), Dr. Dwight M. Davis (superintendent), Mrs. Jack Spevak, Mr. Merle F. Schlampp, and Dr. George G. Caudill. Parents Promote School Spirit One great asset to Hoover ' s advancement this year was the firm backing of parents and teachers. Hot h the PTA and the Booster C lub supported student activ ities in main ways. Probably the most important work of the PTA, as far as students were concerned, was the organ- ization and complete charge of after-game open houses. The PTA was also responsible for helping chaperone the all-citj dance, supervising the library after school, purchasing back issues of magazines for the library, and helping to produce the famous Hoover Headliners. The Headliners was a variety show presented in the spring to raise money for the school. Organ- ized around a newspaper theme.thc show featured talented parents and faculty members in both skits and individual acts. The Booster Club also did a great deal for Hoover. Had it not been for this organization, our concert choir might not have had their robes. Besides tills, the Booster Club chaperoned student buses to out-of-town football and basketball games and player buses to in-town games. Boosters also sponsored all athletic banquets. Members could always be seen attending sports events w ith their Hoover caps and scarfs. Lovin Liepa makes her grand entrance in homeroom prior to her debut in the Hoover Headliners. Organizations Clubs and organizations represented the part of a student ' s life that was out- side the classroom. We were away from books, lectures, and administrators in an in- formal atmosphere to share ideas and participate in sim- ijar interest-activities. Our acceptance of responsibility is what determined howsuc- cessful each club was. Through clubs, each stu- dent could excel. Here gfo those who showed interest and imagination could ex- periment, trying on the shoes of leadership and respon- sibility. We had the freedom to socialize and learn new ideas while our every inter- est was being served. First Council Leads Sti What was that combination again? asks our exchange student Sandy Villahoim. Campaigning is serious business. Hoover representatives, Tom Straw- man, Kent Devine, Cherie Anderson, and Pete Gerdom, find out as they devise a plan to get Roger Shultz elected president at the district District Student Council Convention delegates convention. and representatives assemble in Hoover ' s auditor- ium before voting. 34 dents in New Traditions A student council is a vital part of any school, for it provides a channel of com- municati on between the students and faculty. Our council had little to go on this year — no guidelines, no traditions, no money, and no reputation. Still, a val- uable ' organi ation had to be formed, so the members and sponsors, Mr. Jerry Stihvell, Mrs. Alice Nix, and Mr. Harold Olsen, along with the elected officers plunged themselves into projects which were not always as successful as planned, but were often very rewarding. Among council-sponsored projects were the beautiful and sophisticated Spring Dance, Hoover ' s first foreign student, the pancake breakfast, and the hosting of the district student council, February 16, at which time Roger Shult was elected district president, and Roger Conley be- came district representative. Cathy Erlandson (standing) listens to suggestions from her Spring Dance Committee members. V By collecting pennies, the student council was able to buy Herbie, our mascot. Hoo er ' s first student council officers: I oni Strawman, vice-president; Chris Jacobson, secretary; Roger Shultz, president; Holly Peck, treasurer; and Kent Devine, Chief Justice, had some laughs as well as many headaches. 35 Here sits Beth Dickinson on her throne, Queen of the Bundles. Red Cross Activities Extend Beyond School Service for others, country, community, and school; health of mind and body to fit us for better human relations throughout the world is the motto of International Red Cross. It is also the same for Hoover ' s Red Cross Club. In their attempts at upholding the motto and putting it into practice, the club sponsored many projects. First of these was the United Fund Campaign, which was followed by the highly successful Bundle Drive. Then came the sending of friendship bags to Viet Namese children, a candy-bar sale, and a faculty-student swimming meet that drew an over capacity of 330 people. It w;is Mrs. Virginia Robinson, who provided the adult leadership to help make it a successful year. Officers were Beth Dickinson, president; Sandy Ilcggen, vice-president; Terry Bierma, secretary, and Roberta Boeckholt, treasurer. These girls represent Hoover at all home swimming meets.

A little talent, personality, and neat appearance is all that was needed to qualify for Hoover ' s Swimming Timers C lub, which was the only one of its kind in the city. The girls served as offieials, and poster or program makers for all lluskv home swim meets. Decked out in the club uniform — a white shell and green shorts — they were also a boost to team morale. The girls were selected by their sponsors, Pat Bloomcamp and Dave under, plus the team members. Club offieers were Sue Lindquist, president; Amy Craig, secretary; Vicki Blaeketer, program chairman; and Carol Pugsley, poster chairman. Tutors Help Students The Hoover building was designed with study centers in order to help the student learn and develop good work habits on his own, so to take full advan- tage of these centers, Hoover ' s Tutor ' s Club was formed. These people, selected on the basis of leadership, scholarship and character, worked in one of the four centers to help those who needed tutoring. It was felt each student would feel more free to inquire and learn if he was away from adult supervision. Club sponsors were Mrs. Corliss il- liams, Mrs. Marsha Yelick, and Mr. Joe Zimmerman. 37 Honorary, Service I dreamed I earned another letter in my Hoover night- shirt! yawns Dave Hodam.

Clubs Unite Boys Lettermcn ' s club was one of the few organizations at Hoover that was not open to everyone, since membership was restricted to those who were granted an athletic letter. A very successful sale of Husky nightshirts, tee- shirts and sports tee shirts, gave them their first funds for supplementing athletic equipment, one of their purposes. Victory Bell Is Boys ' Club Goal Helping in the Girls ' Club paper drive and Pancake Day, in addition to successfully selling gym bags and working on developing a victory symbol were just a few of the projects of Boys ' Club this year. With each homeroom represented, the club was designed to unite all Hoover boys under the sponsorship of Mr. Ken Tannatt and Mr. Wendell Miskimins. We Build Is Key Club Motto Guest speakers highlighted each Hoover Key Club meeting and projects were planned under the guidance of Mr. Ron Danielson, sponsor.

Though Hoover High is not over-run with hypocondriacs, nurse Dorothy Boehm still had her hands full when students with a tree hour in their schedule worked as helpers in her office. .Among their many duties were answering the telephone, running errands, filing, keeping track of first aid supplies, and, in general, assisting the nurse.

Hilda Womack in the growing library had a task most others don ' t often encounter — the unpacking of new books and getting them ready for use, labeling books and magazines, setting up a filing system, and organizing a good periodical librar) . Students Assist in Offices There are some things in the operation of running a school that many students look upon as trivial, but actually they play an important part in helping the school to run smoothly. Such things as collecting admits and absence slips, stapling bulletins and notices, counting out pro- gram or book loan cards, and delivering phone messages were time consuming jobs, but still had to he done. The school registrar and administra- tors had enough to do on their own, so these jobs were left to the invaluable student office helpers, who spent one hour a day in either the main office, counseling office, or attendance office. These students offered their assistance in various offices. FRONT ROW: Janice Fcrren, Susan Patterson, Sally Cervie, Sandy Villaboim, Mary Jo Ncrly, Jackie Grace, Sandy Wood.

Although poster booster wasn ' t incorporated until second semester, the committee painted bright posters that boosted the enthusiasm for each game. Since the customary homecoming wasn ' t possible this year, a fall dance was put on by the social com- mittee which climaxed Spirit Week. Flection com- mittee organized a cake-off contest which featured some 30 decorated cakes. Pieces of the winning cakes were served to the teams, and the rest were sold during tlir noon hour.

Clubs Stir Interest In Foreign Cultures A film tour through Hawaii, and a personal inter- few with Hoover ' s foreign exchange student were just two of the interesting happenings experienced by the members of International Club. The club, sponsored by Mrs. Toni Baugher, Mr. Gerald Hollingsworth, and Miss Kathleen Smith, held monthly meetings at which the life and culture of different countries was presented. What started out to be a foreign language club, limited in membership to the foreign language students, was expanded to include all foreign countries, with membership avail- able to anyone interested in international affairs. One of their extra projects was a spring banquet, which is to become an annual affair. Exchange- students staying in the Des Moines area joined club members at a pot luck dinner. Entertainment was pro- vided by students from Samoa and Argentina. President of the club was Debbie Leialoha. Demise Clymer was vice-president; Nancy Austin, secretary; and Linda Anderson, treasurer. Latin Club Holds Roman Banquet The Hooverensis Societas Latina, commonly known as the Hoover Latin Club, was formed to develop interest in the study of Latin. Sponsored bv Mr. Joseph Nemec, Hoover ' s Latin teacher, the club held monthly meetings, and as an added attraction, held a spring banquet where the members wore Roman costumes and attempted to recreate that ancient civilization. John Taylor served as president. Working with him were Tom Strawman, vice-president; Jalayne Smelt er, secretary; Terry Montis, treasurer; and Barry Mor- row, program chairman.

Students Prepare for Future Careers In order to provide more of an insight for high school students into certain professions, three career clubs were formed at Hoover: Future Teachers of America, Future Homemakers of America, and Health ( , uvei s Club. The Future Teachers, sponsored by Mrs. Mar- guerite Piltingsrud and Mr. Tom Ludwig, offered speakers, films, panel discussions, and field trips to its members so they could evaluate and fully under- stand the facets of being an educational instructor. Club officers were Anita Stutzman, president, and Debbie I eialoha. secretary-treasurer. FHA Provides Public Services Hoover ' s FHA, sponsored b Mrs. Pat Papenhcim, was organized with the objective of learning and appreciating homemaking and ways to make more contributions to community life. besides holding their regular meetings on the first Wednesday of every month, these girls took an over- night trip to the Ames campus, held an f aster party for Head Start children, sent favors to the Polk ( ountv Home, and inv ited mothers to a tea on May 6. Girls Prepare for Career in Nursing Twenty-four girls were members of Health Careers Club, with Mrs. Dorothy Boehm serving as faculty adviser. The club was sponsored bv the Women ' s Auxiliary to the Polk County Medical Society. Throughout the year, the club took tours of various health institutions, invited guest speakers, contributed volunteer-work hours to homes and hospitals, and developed a health file in order to more fully understand the requirements and oppor- tunities in the field of medicine. Tracy Cunningham served as president of the club. Working with her were Diane Liter, vice-president; Nancy Heardon, secretary; and Claudia Allen, treasurer. Tracy Cunningham discusses plans for visiting a local hospital with Health Careen Club members. Under the leadership of Sandy Whipple, FHA mem- bers plan an Easter program for Head-Start children. 45 Students Advance in Science, Math Fields On several Saturday mornings out of the year, ten Hoover students met at the Polk County Aeeess Center to write and run an actual program on the computers there. Mr. Joseph Zimmerman was faculty sponsor of the computer club.

Sport ' s Clubs Take Action The Dcs Moines schools experienced a new wave this year — that of a renewed interest in the water polo sport. As a part of this revival, The Hi Y ' s , a Hoover waterpolo team was formed. The boys were sponsored by the YMCA. Forty boys originally went out for the sport, and out of these, 17 made the final team. All but one was a member of the Husky swim- ming squad. Fourteen Girls Go Out for Jumping- Club Though the jump-ropers didn ' t get organ- ized until late in the year, enthusiasm for the sport ran high. Fourteen girls originally went out for the squad, coached by Miss Pat Bloomcamp. No meets, tryouts, or elections were held this year, but Lana Gier and Jan W hite were appointed as leaders to get the girls started on practicing the basic fundamentals every Monday and Wednesday night. A Hoover High Y catches the hall as an attempt to keep the , opponent from scoring a goal.

To develop talent in a specific field, a student must devote much of himself. The try-outs, the practices, and the long hours seem endless at times, but a flawless performance, a first-place trophy, an en- thusiastic pep assembly, or a successful publication are priceless rewards. The personal achieve- ments of these students has left lasting imprints in Hoover ' s first year, a chal- lenging path for others to follow in years to come.

One-Acts Open HHS ' s Theater Four months of disappointments and setbacks delayed Hoover ' s first theatrical production. Try-outs for the one-act plays were held in late September and October. The director, Mr. Ron Danielson, the cast, and the crew encountered many difficulties during the produc- tion ' s preparation, the worst being the fact that the auditorium had not been completed. The costume committee, under the direction of Mrs. Ruth haws and headed by Pam Dennis, was hindered by lack of materials. However, they managed to create some elaborate costumes. Due to these difficulties, the plays The L ' glv Duckling ' ' and Aria de Capo could not be presented to the public until February 8 and 9.

Hoover Forensic Students Become Statewide Threat Developing public, non-dramatic speak- ing skills, known as forensic techniques, is the main purpose of the Hoover Foren- sic League, a new organization under the direction of Mrs. Ruth l aws. .Member- ship, consisting of both active and inactive members, was open to any Hoover stu- dent who participateil in speech actn ities. During this year, the Hoover debaters and other speakers took part in 20 con- tests throughout the Midwest, returning with seven trophies. In these contests, the students were also earning points which later enabled some of them to become members of the National Forensic League (NFL). To become a member of the NFL, a student must meet the point require- ments, which he earns In participating in such fields of speech as debate, original orator} ' , and extemporaneous speaking. The point system is set up according to different degrees. In just one year, Hoover had two students who reached the highest honor possible, the degree of distinction. Kathy Burns and Sherri Ogle both accumulated 250 each by debating on the varsity squad and participating in individual areas of competition. Varsity debaters set up their materials during a class to practice debate. From left: Mike Buser, Kathy Burns, Dave Clinch, and Joe Walsh. National Forensic League.

' Thespians Are Result Of First Major Show Highlighting the year in the field of dramatics was the first major production The Prodigious Snob. A cast of 27 in addition to a crew of 60 produced this French corned} by Moliere. It was directed by Mrs. Ruth Laws who was assisted by Jan Joachims. Centering around Monsieur jourdain, played by Bill Cosgrove, the plaj concerns a member of a new , rich society. By surrounding himself with experts in such pastimes as fencing, dancing, and singing, Jourdain hopes to impress others. Tbis situation resulted in many comical scenes. Costuming was the most unique aspect of the play, one that the success of the show depended upon. More hours were spent by Marilyn San din, costume chair- man, and her committee than any other cast or crew member. Forty costumes were elaborate!) designed by Mrs. Laws herself from material donated by students. As a residt of this production and the one-acts, many students qualified for the National Thespian Society, an organization of students and teachers who work in the dramatic arts. Membership is obtained by earning points acting, producing, or working on business and financing.

Eager Cheerleaders Spirit at games, meets, and pep assemblies was livened up by the cheerleaders, one of the most admired groups in the school. They had to attend all athletic events including the minor sports, abide by rules concerning behavior in uniform, and continually work up and practice new routines. Twelve junior girls and four junior boys made up the varsity squad. The boy yell leaders worked with the girls, forming pyramids and other feats to boost the spirit of the boys. Because the sophomore sports tended to be less Supported, six sophomore cheerleaders and two alter- nates were chosen to generate spirit at these events.

One of its outstanding musical organizations was the orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Donald Ruble. In onh one year, it gained the respect and admiration of people throughout Des Moines and was praised as the best orchestra in the city. This organization had the honor of being the group to play at the first entertaining school assembly. It made its first appearance before the student body at the Christmas assembly, where the students had a chance to listen to this fine group. In March, the band and orchestra combined their talents to present their first public concert. Dvorak ' s New W orld Symphony and The Sound of Music were among the selections. Concerts were also presented at the Downtown Kiwanis and Good re I] Junior High. It also sponsored a car wash to help earn money. The appearance of the orchestra was quite unique. Male members wore the regu- lar concert band uniforms while the girls wore long, white, satin formals, which they had made themselves. During class, the orchestra makes last minute preparations for its first concert. These eight students, Anita Castro, Randy C ook, Craig Mitchell, Jim Crowley, Karl Bargen, Doug Toft, Jon Ahlquist, and Chris Carlstcn, were first to represent Hoover in the All-State band and orchestra.

Light Atmosphere Created by Choirs Throughout the year, Hoover has grown and improved in every phase of its existenee. Among the most representative of these phases was Hoover ' s vocal music department, which has two major organizations, Girls ' Glee Club and Concert Choir. As with all other groups, appropriate dn ss was a major problem. But the vocal music department surmounted this problem with ease. The members of Girls ' Glee made their own forest green shifts to be worn with gold gloves and black shoes. Concert Choir ordered its green robes with gold collars early last fall. Clad in these robes, it performed at Hoover ' s first Christmas assembly, the Iowa Juvenile Home, and the airport. Preparation for the special program, Abstract in Music, better known as A.I.M., began at the end of the first semester. Hours were spent on just the scenery, which con- sisted of brightly painted boxes and egg cartons. This program was highlighted by talented students doing solos and duets.

The first semester was frustrating since the students not only had to learn the skills required in the course, hut they also had to put their learnings into immediate practice and put out the paper, which is usually done by second semester journalism students. Besides the every-day class work, journal- ism students traveled to Iowa ( it for a con- vention and took a tour of the Register and Tribune. Interest was created before school began when twelve juniors met for five sessions in August and put together the first issue which was distributed to all students the second day of school. There, the temporary staff chose the name The Challenger, symbolic for the challenge Hoover would present to its students, and the challenge it would be to other schools. Friday and the newspaper is out! Now the work begins for Claudia Allen, who types up the exchange advertising statements and envelopes, while Debbie Wcisenbach and Cecelia Walter relax. Journalism students, Shcrri Ogle, Judy Duscnberry, and Marcia Morris, get the in- side scoop from the men who know, Mr. Jankovitz and Mr. Wittkop.

After interviewing students to search for sueh qualities as responsibility, creativity, and eagerness, a staff of seventeen members was selected by Mrs. Anda l.icpa, adviser. One of the first and most difficult jobs the staff had to do was select a name. After many discussions, it was decided that the Husky would be the standing name, allow ing each staff to select a new theme, which could be incorporated into a different title. The staff selected Imprints as the name for the ' 68 yearbook because it felt this was rather symbolic. Imprints represented all the phases of this first year at Hoover — imprints in academics, sports, dramatics, traditions, and the school itself. In the Yearbook Yaks corner of the journalism room, 206, the staff, handicapped by a late start, spent many evening hours planning pages, writing copy, scheduling and cropping pictures, and proofreading. Determination and self-satisfaction kept the staff working for a common goal, to make Imprints ' 68 a book to treasure.

Student Life The part of our lives we spent outside the classroom and away from an academic atmosphere we have called student life . It is this part of our lives that made the days and weeks so much easier to endure. This life seemed to fall into a pattern, beginning with dreary Mondays and pro- gressing and growing until weekends came along with customary games, open houses, dates, and the won- derful satisfaction of ignor- ing the alarm clock. This part of school left pleasant imprints in our memory, reminding us of the fun of being a teenager attending Hoover High. Monday Is Misery; Monday first period puzzle: is Jan Manchester in deep concentration or in far away dreamland? But. Miss Bloomcamp, I have to look beautiful for him, laments Peggy Russell, after swim- ming class. 56 We, being like most high school students, were common victims of ;i disease called The Monday Morning Drag. Symptoms varied From sleeping in class and running into walls, to failing tests and having mental blocks because our minds hadn ' t started to function. On Mondays, and even Tuesdays, we wished we could find a waj to keep awake, to have some pep, and to build self-confidence — some kind of encour- agement to meet the beginning of each week, so we could face the rest of the week in better spirits. friendship was promoted when Roosevelt sent an inspiring poster to the halls of Hoover.

Students put the past weekend ' s fun out of their minds and concentrated on more serious things. 1 he carpeted library, with its typing room and photo- copy machine, attracted many students who were working on research projects. Study centers between the teacher ' s offices were also popular for those who needed extra help in specific areas. There was always a teacher on duty in the morning and evening and a student tutor each period during the day to assist the pupils from the studs halls and independent study classes.

Every Hoover student made this remark at least onee every Thursday. This was the day for tramming for Friday ' s test, planning the weekend, and doing things that couldn ' t be fit into Friday ' s and Saturday ' s schedule. Students also attended such events as the bonfires, which were held to increase spirit for the following nights ' games, and the student-faculty swim meet, which the Red Cross sponsored to raise money for service projects. A standing-room-only crowd of over 300 spectators turned out to see the- facility win by one point.

Posters declaring loyalty were spotted all over the building, and sixth hour pep assemblies climaxed the day. When the final bell sounded, Hoover was deserted more quickly than on an] other night. Later a loyal Hoover delegation cheered the Husky team as excite- ment and tensions soared to greater heights. Tears or smiles related the outcome of each game. The entire day was climaxed by a relaxed and funfilled evening at the local hangout or an open bouse. a s Even though curtains and other facilities were lacking in the new auditorium, pep was strong at the first pep assembly when Coach Bert Adams introduced the varsity basketball squad. 70 With green and gold pom-poms and victory signs, Collette Johnson and Peggy Swatta were winners in the car rally to the St. Alhert ' s game.

Substituting for homecoming, the first important social event, the fall dance, was held on November 11. Night Of The Stars, was the finale of Spirit Week sponsored bv Girls ' Club. Highlighting the dance was the crowning of the queen. A week before, the varsity football team met and chose five junior girls, and the sophomore team chose five sophomore girls.

Nan Henderson was announced soph- omore attendent, but the final choice for queen was not revealed until the dance. Nervous expectancy filled the air as the five juniors and one sophomore attendent were escorted to the throne area where Smith Thornton, representing the football team, put the crown on Cathy Erlandson ' s head to reign Sports The athletic aspect of school life is one of the most thrilling, and for Hoover, in its first year, extra excitement was added. We were con- stantly in the public eye. Our teams were young and eager. We lacked experience but made up for it with spirit and determination. We worked towards developing our skills and attitudes of good sportsmanship, hoping that the imprints we left would be followed by teams based on fair play and ability, not rivalry and bitterness. Victory Opens First Season Husky player. Dave Hayward plunges into a St. Albert ' s The Hoover Iluskv ;nsii tooth. ill team finished their first year with a 2-6 record led by Coach Bill Hodam. The team met stiff competition and featured a season with five out-of-town games.

They began and ended their season with wins over Tech, and interspersed between those games were victories over Southeast Polk, Madrid, and Carroll Kuemper. They also began the season playing a game full of blunders and finished as a serious threat to any team. Jack Huff, who totaled 286 points to lead the team in scoring, also was placed on the all-city second team and 7th on the city scoring.Tall Rick VVittenbaugh, totaling 240 points, placed 10th on the same tally and, along with guard Dave Hodam, received an all-city honorable mention.

Pups First Year Reveals Potentials In thirteen years of coaching I have never seen a team with such potential and talent, was Coach Bob at son ' s comment of his sophomore basketball team before he led them to a 13-5 reeord, which onlj seemed to prove his point. The boys managed to stump all the teams they played except North, Newton, Dowling, and St. Mberts, even though they lost red Christensen halfwaj through the season, and Sam Ginn near the end, to the arsity team. Leading the team in scoring were David John and Sam Ginn, who totaled 260 and 237 points respec- tively. Ginn w as also leading rebounder at 168.

We entered with apprehension, not really knowing what to expect. Coming from different junior and senior high schools, we left familiar surroundings and old friends, to enter a world of new friends, emotions and responsibilities. Hoover had no past, only a future, and soon we became a unified body, pooling our dreams and ener- gies to build traditions, spirit, and pride. It was a year of great chal- lenges, many gains, and a few setbacks. Yet now we can look back with pride and satisfac- tion, realizing that each of us, in our own way, were part of the bloodstream which nourished this new school in its first year. As Hoover High grew, so did we. 42 a?

I ' ve a future I must build There ,ire plans that I must draw. Then lei this timid hand of mine Be guided, line for line, W ith that steady, certain trueness Of the Hand that planned This universe. There are materials I must choose. Then let this casual mind of mine Choose with the wisdom of the Mind That fixed the substances Of things like grass and trees And mountain peaks. There are decisions I must make. Then let me make them with that sureness That divided land and sea, And day and night, the birds that fly And beasts that roam the field. There ' s a determination I must have. Then let me bind myself unto such things As principles, and truth, and right With that same permanence That holds in their celestial places The sun, and stars, And all the heavens ' gems. I ' ve a future I must huild. So, let me build it with such care, such tools, such wisdom, And with such a rugged firmness. That all the fiercest thrusts Of host or elements Cannot destroy it. Aye, I ' ve a future I must build . . . Let me rise, then, to the task! — Bernard J. Patrick JOHN DEERE John Deere Des Moines Works, Des Moines , Iowa 112 Where ' s he going with the hall?
