The chief Pirate .was Miss Inez Hult. She helped the following 15 ,boys and 10 girls climb the gang plank: Marjorie Bareis, Dorothy Boese, Jean Doug- lass, Darwin Ellis, Bernard Gass, Charles Hoth, Elbert Jahncke, Dorothy Kerr, Marjorie Kerr, Duane Lammert, Milton Lawson, Jack Martins, Shirley McNally,iRamona Meyer, Rose Marie Mey- er, Robert Muchow, Idayne Plaht, Bill Palmer, Marna Jane Reinhardt, Billy Schlee, Edward Jr. Schmid, Floyd Schultz, Eugene Severn, Margaret Mae Stutzman, Robert .Thompson and Milton Turner, During the winter months, when it was too dangerous to travel abroad Coutsideb, we made rugs for our card board playhouse and furniture out of oatmeal boxes. We dropped anchor at second grade and were met by Miss Annette Rislov. We enjoyed making our Indian Tepee and pottery although the teacher probably did not enjoy the paint on the furniture. Darlene Ames, Lyle Benson, Myrtle Schultz, and Darlene Stockman joined our Merry Crew, while Robert Muchow and Idayne Plaht left the- ship. At Port III Darlene Ames, Arthur Hofer, and Ruth Knuppe boarded the Pirate Ship, while Lyle .Benson and' Milton Turner left the ship. Jack Martins was especially popular this year when the class made pin cushions out of clothes pins for Xmas present. The reason was that he provided the cotton for those who forgot. their stuffing for the pin cushions. Our Captain this year was Miss Letha Hesner. As we again climbed on board after a pleasant summer we were met at the fourth grade by Miss Eleanor Cade. Darlene Ames, Darwin Ellis, Myrtle Schultz, Milton Turner, and Mary Jane Reinhardt didn't come aboard with us. Highlight of the year was a Halloween party during which we gave our first class' play. Hero of the story was Dwight .Marston twhen wasn't he our hero?J while Rose Marie Meyer portrayed a witch. Georgia Robin- son arrived in time for thelast 9 weeks. At the.fifth grade we were welcomed by Miss Elma Berkland. We were sadden- by the absence of Bernard Gass who had been killed. The boys perked up their appearance when two new girls came on board, The were: Gloria Ellefson and Betty Wedo. Our art improved during .the year when we made big pictures of famous inventors. Sornel of them tor should we say, a very few of themy were really good. ' Wei set our three-year course, not bythe stars, but by the advice of our Captains Miss Katheryn Long and Mr. Harold Plank. Kenneth Boese, Mary Bursell, Betty Flack, and Kenneth Lofstuen joined our crew, In the second year our teachers were Mr, Plank and Miss Lucille Mus- chewske. Betty Wedo dropped out here. Mr. Louis Schnilder and Miss Helen Fraser captained us for the final year in grade school. Darlene Ames. Betty Folsom, Shirley Mundt, and Gret- chen Zieman entered the ship this year. We en- joyed a taffy pull at Dorothy and Marjorie Kerr's, where we had all the taffy we could eat. The calamity of the evening occurred when Jean Douglass and Bob Thompson, instead of waiting for instructions, plunged their hands into the taffy and spent the remainder of the evening trying to dislodge the ever-sticking taffy from their fingers. We were on our way towards our final port. The record breaking class of 29 boys and 27 girls was now ready to start its toilsome journey over the four-year course. On the first lap of the journey we greeted the following newcomers: Lyle Benson, Gene Brainard, Billy Dickman, James Far- mer. Erwin Glock, Ardis Green, Ruth Elaine Green, Betty Gunderson, HeleniHanson, Izetta Hanson, Otto Hanson, Betty Hager, Robert Hager, Don Harris, Virginia Heuser, Earl Koenig, Marion Koenig, Gertrude Kugel, Edwin Kurkestue, Ethel Kurth, Gilbert Liveingood, Shirley McNally, ,Ardis Neverman, Marjorie Olson, Rosella Opsand, Charlie Peake, Corrine Rypestol, Milton Turner, Doris Walby, Shirley Welzel, Robert Wettleson, and William Wullner. ' Here Billy Schlee left the ship also Margaret Stutzman, Betty Flack, Ruth Knuppe and Charles Hoth. . In our second year, as Sophomores, Eugene Mork, Vivian Osmundson, Virginia Peckham, and Jack Vanderweg joined the class. Dorothy Boese, Kenneth Boese, James Farmer, Edwin Kirkestue, Gertrude Kugel, Kenneth Lofstuen, Ardis Never- man, Ronald Russet, and'William Wullner depart- ed. The main attraction at this port was the pic- nic at the Stone House. As Juniors we welcomed Bernice Bachelder, Mary Brown, Calvin Kostman, Charles Hoth, Art Schultz, Gwenn Schultz and Darlene Szabo. Leaving the class were Lyle Benson, Billy Dick- man, Izetta Hanson, Helen Hanson, Eugene Mork, Robert Thompson, and Shirley Welzel. Midst the daze of being upper-classmen we presented our Junior play College Daze. The success of the year was the Sadie Hawkins Party, which we spon- sored, in which we all 'got our man' for one night. We began working on our long awaited Junior- Senior Prom early in the fall, with the theme being an Old Dutch Garden. We spent many happy hours making windmills and tulips for this grand affair, We -reached the last lap of our cruise as Seniors of P. H. S. with our diplomas in sight. Here we missed Earl Koenig but welcomed Lor- incer- Fuelling and Marion Hammond. Our mus- ical talents were brought out by our presentation of the Operetta, The Forest Prince. Later on our dramatic talents were displayed when we were well represented in the Declam Contest, As a climax to our colorful voyage we unraveled the mystery of The Thirteenth Chair. , ....11... uniofzs Pres.

The 'Iunior High Assembly used to be a large room' with few desks. but now-all that has been changed a bit, as the ninth' grade, has been fmoved 'down into the Iunior Highand more desks have been added. until Standing room on-ly is provided. M i A The Iunior High basketball team had la very successful' season, Conquer- ing. all of their opponents and completing their season undefeated. The. climax ot their year was bringing home the trophy from the county tournaa ments at Waukon, by defeating Lansing inthe finals. M In addition to all of this brawn, the Iunior High also 'had its supply of brains. They had a very talented dramatic -group composed of twelve students. Those who received I ratings were: Ianice Schroeder in Dramatic: and Dick Klingbeil, Mildred Foley, Lorna Luhman and Ione Winter in Humorous. The twelve contestants were coached by Miss Margaret Corkery. Besides their declamatory work, the Iunior High prepared several clever skits for pep meetings and the tournamerts. Some of the members ot the Junior High this year were also given an op- portunity to .practice theilrfpenmanship. We mean the paragraphs they had to write--7 -Since lwhispered, I tl will write this paragraph 500 times ....... But even though they probably' didn't enjoy writing them, they very likely learned something from them4-in addition to improying their penmanshipu. .

The West Union, Bombers next followed suit and 'fell under the Pirates. onslaught: 40-0. The New ,Hampton Chicks, a team from the powerful Northeast Iowa league, ventured to Postville only to be downed by a 16-0 count. It was a. mud-slingf ing affair with the fans as wet and cold as the players. Under the lamps, at Maynard ,the Pirates tamed the scrappy Blue Devilsf 20-0. Starting' -the last stretch of the season the Pirates invaded Waukon where they scalped the Indians 13-6. The Pirates controlled the, game but were not able to keep the foesfrom- pushing over for a touchdown, giving Waukon the honor of being 'the first team to score upon the Pirates. At the homecoming gamejbefore 2,000 eager spectators, the Pirates met their first defeat at the hands of a strong Q Q . Elkader eleven. The Warriors started out strong the first half, scoring all 26 2 A of their points. The last half was scoreless with the home boys out-playing N-I their opponents.. Winding up their conference play at Fayette, the Pirates Sn , easily downed the Little Peacocks 33-0, clinching runner-up place in- the Upper , i Iowa Conference standings. ln. the final game of the'45 season, the Pirates .

Not undefeated, but all were great games which left Postville riding high, figuratively speaking, ,The -first real fight of the Pirates was rneir vigorous attempt to overcome the Monona team, 33-31. Off to afflyinq start, they slayed their all-time rivals, the Waukon Indians, 38-24. The Elkader five, however, topped the Pirates. Following this, the Waukon team momentarily stopped the Scarletand Black boys with a 33'-26 setback. Iourneying to the County Basketball Tournament the 'home lads easily sailed over the Waterville Tigers, but later a hot Lansing quintet shoved the PirateS out .ofthe title consideration. The Bulldogs dampened the Pirates' hope for a fresh start, but the Pirates rebounded later to soundly thrash the West Union -Bombers for a previous season's defeat, to the tune of 46-29. Last game of the scheduled seasonwas lt, 0 Q 47-29 defeat Qt the hands of Eiksdef. L . Playing host to both sectional and district meets, the Pirates qualified '1' for the district by dropping the Irish from.St. Pat's of 'Waukon. ln the NJ district, the Pirates easily tamed a favored Manchester quintet, controlling the game until the final gun: score---Pirates 39, Man-hawks 20. To win the XA coveted trophy, the Pirates had to beat their iinx team, none other than Waukon. But sure 'nuffl Postville 34, Waukon 28! It was a joyous pair, Bill Palmer and Eugene Severn, co-captains for the season, who accepted the large plaque signifying their qualification to the sub-state. Here their winning streak came to a close. On a truly off-night Waverly downed them 37-16.

With close to 50 turnouts and along with spring fever, bats began swinging, balls were ilying, tryouts were. held for new and old prospects, and in general, the Pirates really got warmed up. - Letter winners returning from last year's team include: catcher, Bill Palmer: Znd' baseman, Eugene Severn: shortstop, Dwight Marston: 3rd baseman and pitcher, Cloy Schultz: and outtielders, Gilbert Livingood, Art Schultz, and' Leo Christotterson- at left, center, and right field, respectively.

Thisgchorus represents a group of boys interested in this type of activity. Although actually the boys did not go to any contest they plugged all year on songs' selected by Miss Constance Srneby to give them the necessary background for future work so that next year they will be able to compete in the contest.

Q The plot was 'laid in Russia during theflatter part of the'Sixteenth Century' A. D. Tatiana, a princess ot Russia, played by Gretchen Zieman, was -'held for ransom by the Cossacks. Although Dmitri, her fiance, Russell Harris, was general of Tsar Mikhail's army, he was too cowardly either to rescue le 76 Tatiana or defend Russia against invading Tartars. Vaslav, chief of the -.9 Cossacks, Dwight Marston, went to the court to get the ransom. The result V. was agreeable to both sides but Vaslav realized he and Tatiana had fallen. in love. They both knew that a princess of Russia just does not marry a . common Cossack. As they were about to part, a startling announcement D-XL .was made which informed them that Vaslav was the son of Tsar Mikhail, Ken Timmerman, long ago captured by the Cossacks. Since he was of royal blood, Tatiana was able to marry him.
