High school day once gone, can never be recaptured, but their happy times will bring back memories. For those of us who are seniors, this time has passed by quickly and it is hard for us to realize that twelve years of schod are behind us and the future is ahead. We of the Jo- Hi-Se-An staff have tried to recall the time of our high schod years by planning this 1953 Jo-Hi-Se-An. -Avis Hagen MR. JOHN ENNEN Superintendent of Schools.

No, friends, I am not the father of hist- ory ; I can hardly even be called a son. In fact, the history of which I speak, the history of the Class of 1953, is very brief indeed as compared with the nine volumes by Herodotus. It is brief as compared with the history of these United States. It Is even brief compared with some of the history we of  53 have studied. But, to us, it is one of the most interesting and important histories ever written, and for you who are our friends and have always shown us such kindness and affection, I believe it holds some Interest too. In September 1914-0, seven green freshmen enrolled in the Joice High School, namely Curtis Arneson, Donovan Dahlby, Ernest Kell, Avis Hagen, Terry Williams, Charlene Evans, and Myrna A modt. Before initiation we felt out of place, awk- ward, and insignificant. During initiation we had a lot of fun rolling onions and dressing up in ridiculous clothes. Now we were a part of the high school. The fall of our freshmen year, there was a terrific wind storm that blew all the corn down. As a result students were dismissed from school to help the farmers get the crop in. Myrna Aamodt, one of the weaker freshmen, spent several days in the hospital recouperating. The year ended to prove that we freshmen would be the promising sophomores of the next year. When we enrolled as sophomores our number had dwindled to six, Ernest Kell started his career in farming. As a whole the sophmore year was uneventful. The initiation of the freshmen had been taken over by the upper classmen. Happily as Juniors we entered the Joice High School, again the big class of seven. Lowell Heimdal transferred from Lake Mills to Joice. The main events of our Junior year were: the receiving of our class rings; the presentation of our Junior class play, Here Comes Charlie , and the Junior-senior banquet, which proved to be exciting for both classes. Triumphantly we, the seniors, entered school on August 25, 1952, saddened only by the loss of one of our classmates Lowell Heimdal. He decided to attend Hillcrest Lutheran Academy at Fergus Falls, Minnesota. We had anticipated much but the senior year was beyond comparison. Some of us took five subjects while others trailed behind with basketball and music. Still others worked with speech. We were glad to be the guests of the Juniors at the Junior-senior banquet. We enjoyed it very much. Our senior class play, which proved to be a great success, was presented on October 20th. The annual, which is the best, kept us busy but made us proud. Our history, as you can see, has so far been without tragedy. It has been serene and happy, but not monotonous. We hope it has been worthwhile. While it is unlikely that it will ever be earth-shaking, we hope that it will become even more worthwhile. I am sure we shall all look back to these four years at good ol “ e happiest years of our lives.

In case some of you do not understand the second we will use the first. I, Terry Williams, give this thimble which is a badge of splnsterhood, to Donna Brunsvoid, (thimble) I, Myrna Aamodt, give my two charms, my musical ability and my intelligence to Clark Van Hooser. May the girls find these charms very sweet. (package of Charms) I, Curtis Arneson, give this large size gas can to Gordon Dahl. Here after we want to see you using gas from this instead of your Dad a gas barrel. I sup- pose you realize this doesn’t fill itself up. (gas can) I, Avis Hagen, give this handy little pencil to Lois Schott. We call it handy because we think she will find plenty of use for it in writing letters to Lake Mills from Joice. (pencil) I, Charlene Evans, give to Enid Loin to make your Job more comfortable as secretary this pillow. Not speaking from experience of course but we have heard that some peoples laps are awfully hard. (pillow) I, Donovan Dahlby, give this tractor to Gary Medlang in order to give an excuse for playing hooky from school, as I did. (toy tractor) I, Charlene Evans, give this spoon to Carol Williams since she seems quite bashful. I hope that it may help her discover that spooning is very enjoyable, (spoon) I, Myrna Aamodt, give this watch to Barbara Schott to remind her to come in at night. Remember you can’t stay out all night if you expect to work the next day. I, Donovan Dahlby, give these glasses to Harold Sherwood hoping he will see more through them than I did. (glasses) I, Avis Hagen, give my ability to cut up in class but still get B’s in de- portment to Norman Bang it seems he can’t get by with it. (scissors and Jar of honey) I, Curtis Arneson, give my lazy nature to Mrs. Slattum. May her future stu- dents find it a fine quality, (blank papers) I, Terry Williams, give my ability to flirt with other girl’s boyfriends to Beth Evans so she too can have a good time but yet have no steady boyfriends, (false eyelashes) Curtis Arneson Donovan Dahlby This page sponsored by: FARMER’S CO-OP ELEVATOR, Hanlontown, Iowa Edward Amberg, Manager Let me have your attentior friends, for you are about to witness one of the most exciting previews ever produced on the stage of life. Many acts you shall hear of will be the show stoppers of the next twenty years. Like the sneak pre- views that so often accompany the current billing at the movie theater the pre- view you will be shown is a quick picture of the great events that will soon be happening to this 1953 graduating class. Imagine for a few minutes with me that this is now 1972 and we are the audience for a big stage production called Show Stoppers. Since it is 1972, we are looking back instead of forward-----looking back on all the big moments in the lives of these men and women who showed so much promise when they were grad- uated from high school in 1953 in the time when the world looked ready for war and atomic power was still a thing talked about Instead of a useful means for locomotion and heat. What a lot of changes have taken place in the world of discoveries and inventions since 1953« No longer are the young people faced with a threat of war and destruction, for at long last the men who rule the nations of the world have come to peaceful agreement. The United Nations have been functioning as a clear- ing house for all minor disputes that arise from international trade. What a pity the founders of that organization of world nations cannot be living today to see how well the younger generation fulfilled their dreams of world peace. The rise of democracy in Russia by the Christian people living there during the dark days of the Iron Curtain did much to bring about this world harmony. Thank heaven we no longer have to worry about wars. What greater show stopper can there be than that? But wait, we didn t call you here tonight to talk about world affairs; we invited you to see what has been happening to the 1953 graduates from Joice High School. Many times the show was stopped for wedding bells and the arrival of new children that came to Join this happy world of ours. The size of Charlene Evan s wedding was of historic proportions with her twenty bridesmaids and fif - teen foot bridal train. Never before in the history of our fair city did the wedding guests come from so far away as Cairc Egypt, and Paris, Prance. It could hardly be considered unusual for her, though, when we recall that she was one of the worldfe foremost fashion designers before she married the English duke. Gowns like hers were part of her daily business as a designer. Remember the day we received word that Donovan Dahlby had been awarded the Nobel Prize for his scientific activity in 1961? Even though he was in New York to receive the award, his good friends in Joice had a regular celebration includ- ing the television broadcast of the ceremonies. The next day when he arrived home for Donovan Dahlby Day, every musician in the state was at the railroad station to play the welcome march for him. He was the only citizen of the city of Joice to ever receive such a coveted award, and he proved himself to be a real show stopper in our lives. Remember boys, the girl you laughed at in Physics class? Well, let s look at her now. Terry Williams is now the first woman Jet piolet to go 999.9 miles per hour. She is the outstanding flier and instructor of the Jet Propulsion School in Dallas, Texas. Thanks to Mr. Ott and his patience and guidance in physics class. Well boys, this proves the laugh is on you. We, now, wish to watch the Skating Vanities broadcast over television. We view a very excellent performer and who should it be but Myrna Aamodt. She has a lifetime contract with them as their Skating Queen. We hear people say she is skating her life away. Mr. Opheim you delayed her career. This page sponsored by: PERLEY BARBER BEAUTY SHOP Lake Mills, Iowa FARMERS MERCHANTS STATE BANK Lake Mills, Iowa -Prophecy Continued- Barren wastes and hills go by, and now we see a green valley miles and miles of it with mountains in the distance. Scattered all over are cattle, white-faced cattle, and cowboys riding here and there. A low brown ranch house is coming in- to view, and near-by are corrals and stacks of hay. We now see inside the ranch house. There is a long heavy table, a row of bunks, a fire place, and a man cooking chow on an old iron stove. No woman is in sight. A man with alow deliberate step enters, whom the cook addresses as oss. He looks familiar. Yes, he is Curtis Arneson, whose love for the farm led him to the plains of Arizona where he has plenty of space for all his cattle. Now at the famous Hagen Medical Institution of which the former classmate Avis Hagen is the main doctor and founder of the institution. We enter into the hospital and come to find Dr. Hagen in a respirator. She took a splinter out of a patient's finger and fainted. Her condition is reported as good. Of course, mingled with some of the most unusual show stoppers the 1953 class members created were some of greater importance to those participating although they were not unusual enough to gain nation-wide publicity. Before be- coming show stoppers, they went away to college after completing high school, the boys entered the armed forces and did their part in bringing about this world peace. Not every senior created a big sensation, but not a single one failed to live up to the ideals he learned during his high school days. What better snow stoppers can there be than the stalwart men and women who are the backbone of our United States, the same men and women who were once the members of the 1953 graduating class of Joice High. Charlene Evans Curtis Arneson SENIOR CLASS SONG (Tune— Bicycle Built For Two ) Freshmen, Soph'mores Of course you Juniors, too: Here'8 a lesson All of us give to you. Don't fuss about all your teachers They're here to help you on. Just copy us J Try to be Like the Great Class of •531 Good old Joice High We bid farewell to you. Tho' years be many To you we will be true. We probably won't break records But by Joice High we'll stand. To you we bow, good old Joice We all take our hats off to you} K h y, Myrna Aamodt Terry Williams This page sponsored by? WINNEBAGO R. E. A., Thompson, Glen Bergland, Manager SENIOR CLASS POEM Joice High School now has a senior class whose services are many. And everywhere we seniors go, good-fortune comes a-plenty. We 11 follow many walks of life, remembering long the rules We learned in rooms our school provides, old lessons used as tools. It's seldom that so fine a group our teachers could behold. In lessons we indeed excell, in sports we re brave and bold. Each daily task we met with faith at school or in the home; With deep regard for leadership we never once did roam. The first few weeks we spent at High as freshmen green and meek We looked to seniors for the word; advice we oft did seek. We soon became a useful part of this great school of ours. Before our freshman year was up we came through sun or showers. Good sportsmanship did early learn along with daily work Assigned in every high school class; not one of us did shirk. As freshmen lowest place we filled, the worst seats front and back; But never once did we complain, or cheery smile did lack. Perhaps the hardest test of all that first year we did meet. Though oft we faced the teasing mob, not once downed in defeat. Our life as sophomores did improve; new freshmen were the goat. When seniors nowhere were around, to freshmen we could gloat. And yet to tease the underdog to us gave little pleasure; Instead we lent a helping hand; new friendships we did treasure. Our sophomore year was one big step toward our cherished goal. Each lesson we did truly learn with mind and heart and soul. The ease with which we Joined the school in every program planned Did prove to all the people 'round in time success we'd land. As sophomores, next as Junior class we quickly filled the bill; In sports as well as lessons learned their dreams did we fulfill. No better students walked these halls since this great school was built. Athletics win or lose they might; not once their cause we'd Jilt. At last the highest ranking class as seniors we became. Yet to our heads it did not go; we treated all the same. It mattered not to us who spoke when seeking our advice; If they should fall to understand we'd gladly show them twice. An inspiration to each boy and girl this year we've seemed. When one of them did challenge meet, a senior always beamed. Tonight we plan to honor worthy friends. Into the world with blessings full this class our school now sends. Through fortune may we prosper well each year that lies ahead. May we not forget this school. Our thanks we hope we've said. Terry Williams Donovan Dahlby This page sponsored by: JOICE CAPE Joice, Iowa W. G. FELLAND WATCHES AND DIAMONDS Joice, Iowa I Avis Hagen, will to Philip Ramsey my habit of spending two hours a day on my Physics lesson that is by sitting on the book while I read two bit novels. I, Donovan Dahlby, will my ability to be an all around pest to Richard Winden. But he leaves this word of advice: Don't over do it, or don't do it over. I, Myrna Aamod will my ability to stay out late and still maintain my high average to Marilyn Mohr. I, Charlene Evans, will my supposedly shyness to Clinton Terbeck. Don't wait until the last year, though, to let your classmates find out you aren't •nough said. I, Terry Williams, will my winsome smiles while at the skating rink to Marjorie Kallheim. Just remember to skate with a different fellow each time. I, Curtis Arneson will my limousine to Roger Elwood provided it is not used during school hours or on moonlight rides to which it has never been accustomed. I, Charlene Evans, will my sense of humor to Paul Piblestad. We hope that Paul's life will now be one big Joke. I, Myrna Aaroodt, will my beloved admirers, except one so I can settle down with him so I won't have to worry about the others, to Marion Dahlby, hoping ti t she will also pick one and pass the others on. I, Curtis Arneson, will my ability, poor as it is, to David Anderson. I hope he finds more use for it than I did. I, Donovan Dahlby, will my ability to act to Royden Heimdal so he can go to Hollywood like I'm planning to do. I, Avis Hagen, will my ability to crack Jokes and sing her favorite boux Oh, Jon (ny) to Carol Williams. I, Terry Williams, will my ability to crack my gum to Gloria Tenold. It's not proper etiquette but lots of fun. To our Commercial and Music Teacher, Mrs. Emmons, we will this key so that she will be able to wind all Mr. Emmons clocks without any trouble. Happy wind- ing .' To Mr. Ennen, our Sociology teacher, we will this envelope containing all the list five tests he gave us. Hope his future students will have better luck in listing five than we did. To Mr. Ott, we will a space ship so that he will be able to travel into space and gather information that will help in answering the questions asked concerning space by the future Physics students. Curtis wasn't satisfied in the answers he received. To Mrs. Slatturn, our English teacher, we will a ten-gallon pail, so she will be able to collect more pennies at future play practices. To Mr. Opheim, our Coach and Principal, we will this megaphone so that the future students will be able to hear his announcements in the assembly. To the Janitor, Clarence Bang, we will a knife to get all the gum off the seniors desks so that the juniors will get a clean start next year. To our wonderful cooks, Mrs. John Berry and Mrs. Dean Sherwood, we will a clock which will keep perfect time whether upside down or right side up. Charlene Evans Terry Williams MILADY'S SHOP Lake Mills, Iowa This page sponsored by: STENSRUD DRUG Lake Mills, Iowa The seniors gave their play The Campbells Are Coming on Tuesday, October 28, at 8:00 p.m. in the Joice auditorium. It was a 3 act farce comedy under the direction of Mrs. Duane Slattum. Cast of Characters Grandma Brannigan--------Avis Hagen Dick Brannigan-------Paul Fibelstad Betty Brannigan-------Terry Williams Kaye Brannigan-----------Myma Aamodt Jeff Scudder— ----------------Curtis Ameson Cy Scudder----------------------Gary Knutsen Kingston Campbell----Donovan Dahlby Augusta Campbell-----Charlene Evans Catalpa Tapp---------Barbara Schott Bildad Tapp-------------Leslie Evans This is a hilarious farce with hillbilly trimmings, describing the most af- fective technique for getting rid of an undesirable suitor. Kaye Brannigan re- turns from a girls school chuck full of culture. Much to her family’s disgust, she breaks with sturdy, dependable Jeff Scudder and announces her engagement to a young snob, Kingston Campbell. Learning that Kingston’s aristocratic mother believes that the Brannigans are hillbillies and that Kingston and his Mother are coming for a visit to find out the truth, the Brannigans disguise themselves as hillbillies and receive the guests during the absence of Kaye. The Brannigan appear barefoot, dressed in rags, and carrying shotgun frightening the Campbells half out of their wits. One riotously funny situation follows another in rapid succession. At last Kingston indignantly refuses to marry Kay$ and the Branni- gans rejoice that their scheme has worked. Then just as the Campbells are about to depart, in walks Kaye, deinanding explanations. It ends with Kingston and his Mother going home and Kaye marrying Jeff. The stage managers were Larry Evans and Philip Ramsey. Assistant direct- or was Marilyn Anonson. The ushers were Ellen Haroldson, Enid Lien, Marilyn Mohr, Carol Williams, Norman Bang, Clark Van Hoosei Gordon Dahl, and Lois Schott. Mrs. Bramons provided music before the play and directed music groups between acts. It was the first class play given on the new stage and using the new cur- tains and scenery. This year the senior play was given the first semester be- cause of the many senior activities taking place the second semester.

Our junior class enrolled this fall minus two of our classmates, happy-go- lucky Sharon Ball and athlete Richard Hannon, who entered other schools. After a few weeks of school we elected the following class officers: President—Carol Williams, Vice-President--Philip Ramsey, Secretary—Gordon Dahl, Treasurer—Lois Schott, Reporter--Marilyn Anonson. We think we have one of the most active classes in school. We have Ellen Haroldson, Lois Schott, and Marilyn Anonson play girls basketball. Gordon Dahl, Philip Ramsey, Norman Bang, Larry Evans, and Clark Van Hooser are out for boys basketball. Marilyn Mohr is the manager for the girls and Enid Lien is a cheerleader. We are very active in Speech and have four students entering the pre- district Contest. They are Carol Williams, Lois Schott, Marilyn Anonson and Cordon Dahl. Carol Williams, Enid Lien, Lois Schott and Gordon Dahl parti- cipate in special music groups, so do Norman Bang and Philip Ramsey. All of the juniors are in mixed chorus. Five of our girls, Enid Lein, Carol Williams, Lois Schott, Ellen Haroldson, and Marilyn Anonson are in the sextette. Lois Schott is always at the piano to accompany the large music groups. Receiving our class rings in November was such a thrilling experience, and we of course think they are the prettiest rings in the history of the school. Nine of us take part in the All School Play on March 12th and 13th. One of our exciting events will be the junior play which will be given before school's out.

The sophomores started their second glorious year in the Joice High School very successfully by showing their new power over the weak freshmen in an ini- tiation day and a party that evening. We chose Coach Lyle Opheim as our sponsor and elected the following offi- cers; President--Roger Christianson, Vice-President—Harold Sherwood, Secretary --Ronald Calgaard, Treasurer--raul Fibelstad, Reporter--Bonnie Aamodt. Our class is very active in athletics. Every one of the boys went out for baseball and later participated in basketball. Carol Arneson, Marjorie Kall- heim, and Bonnie Aamodt take part in girls basketball. Carol Arneson is also a cheerleader. Declamatory work is also popular in our class. Six of our eleven students are participating in some form of contest work. Carol Arneson and Marjorie Ann Kallheim had dramatic readings, Paul Fibelstad and Bonnie Aamodt had humorous readings, Ronald Calgaard had an oration and extemporaneous speaking, and Roger Christianson had extemporaneous speaking and was cast in the contest play. In a one act play that was not for contest, Gloria Tenold and Keith Brue were cast. In music we have canaries according to this. All of the sophomore girls go out for solo work. Roger Christianson is the only boy participating in solo and small musical groups in high school. All of our class members participate in mixed chorus and the boys1 or girls' gloe clubs. 4 4 •4 Front row--left to right—Gary Medlang, Beth Evans, Barbara Schott, Donna Brunsvold, Marion Dahlby, James Stensrad.

In the middle of the year Joan Thompson left us and moved to Mason City, we miss her very much. In the second semester we chose our class colors and flower. They are a yellow rose for class flower and blue and yellow for cltfss colors. Our class motto Is: Success Crowns Special Efforts• All of the junior high students went out for vocal solo work, with the ex- ception of Arlyn Harang, who chose a piano solo instead.

Our class is distinguished from the others in its being the smallest class in the grades having a total of only six members; however, we are more mighty than our size. Spelling has been so much fun. Most of us have had A's almost all year. We started a spelling chart the first week of school and this will not be com- pleted until the final week. We have two highways represented with thirty-six towns between Joice and Des Moines. Each week that we get an A we are able to move to a new town. If we have missed no words all year, we will have traveled to Des Moines and back to Joice by the end of the present school year.

Each one of us took part In the operetta presented during the early part of our school year. We also took an active part In the all school Christmas pro- gram given In the school auditorium. Our subjects include health, science, spelling, history, English, music, penmanship, art, physical training, reeding, and geography. History seems to be the most popular one as far as we are concerned but of course recess Is the best of all. The climax of our fifth grade geography class was reached when we finally mastered the forty-eight states and capitals, their proper location, spelling, etc. Twice a week, we have physical training class In the gymnasium with Mr. Ophelm. We all enjoy this very much. Every Thursday, We have music class with Mrs. Emmons. Since we enjoy singing a great deal, we always look forward to this period.

We opened the 1952-53 school year with eleven fourth graders, five girls and six boys. The number remained the same throughout the year. The flu epidemic weakened the attendance record for the year. Two boys, John Robert Elwood and Roger Bakken, were able to be present every day. They were the only fourth graders with perfect attendance. We observed many holidays throughout the year. On Halloween, we dressed in many costumes and paraded through the rooms. Christmas was made a joyous oc- casion with singing and opening of gifts. Valentine s Day was well remembered by the many valentines. Wednesday was our day for music. Mrs. Emmons directed the music group for a period of forty minutes each week. Studies took up most of our time. Reading, arithmetic, language, spelling, geography, science, and health were our subjects for the year. We did some ex- periments, made booklets, and dramatized to create interest. We've spent an enjoyable year together and wish the fourth graders the best of luck as they pass on to a new room next year.

Pride and Prejudice, a three act comedy, was presented by the members of the speech class on Thursday and Friday evenings March 12 and 13, 1953 This is a story of a mother with five unmarried daughters, whom she tries through all means possible to marry off to some rich young gentlemen. Then there is the fashionable lady, snooty and rude, who has what you can call a most unromantic daughter. This family, the Bennetts, also have a maid, and oh yes, I almost for got, there's one in every family, a father. We, who were in this play, can assure you we had much fun in practicing for it and presenting it and we had a good time working on it with our speech coach and play director, Mrs. Duane Slattum.

Additional land was purchas- ed west and south of the old diamond which permitted us to put the new diamond about one hundred feet farther west and also a little farther south. If any bat- ter hits any obstruction in the outfield now that prevents a fielder from making a put out, he is entitled to all he can get because there is no more short right field or gymnasium in close right center. The new baseball diamond !• complete with a regulation playing area, along with 1U4 feet of eight foot fence along the first and third base lines. It has a 56 foot back stop 25 feet high I4.5 feet behind home plate, it also has two covered concrete dugouts. The fall high school baseball sectional tournament was a success, we had nice weather and some very fine baseball games. Many encouraging remarks about our fine baseball dia- mond were heard from the fans, as well as the teams during the tournament. Front row, left to right—Paul Fibelstad, fJlmmv Stensrud.

Marilyn was good at shifting on the front forwards when the zone defense was used so many times during the season. She Is a Junior and we are wishing her good luck next year. Bonnie Aamodt-guard-Was a grand pivot guard, holding many of wards down to some of their lowest scoring sprees. Her height and I® ? Pa38®8 helped the team to many victories. Bonnie Is a sophomore so we are looking for- ward to her abilities next season. This page sponsored byr JCICT I''ELEMENT STORE JolCU.IoWA THE LETTEWINNERS CONTINUED Barbara Schott-guard-Her alertness and ability to hold many of the oppos- ing team’s forwards down to low scoring in the games was a great asset to the team. Her speed in rebounding and long passes down the court helped the team in many games. Barb is only a freshman and we wish her a lot of luck in the com- ing years. Loretta Evans-guard-Is one with all the speed and the spark in the back court. She was the only eighth grader on the team and we wi$h a lot of luck to her in the years to come. Beth Evans-forward-Was another of the first string forwards who was always in there fighting. Her ability to pass into the post has been a great asset to the team. As a freshman, Beth will prove to be one of the main players for the next three years. Charlene Evans-forward-The only senior on the first six this year. Her steadying influence in the front court helped the girls to many victories during the season. Ellen Haroldson-forward-Was our high scorer for the season. Her ability to pivot in almost any direction and average nearly 25 points per game kept Joice winning their share of the basketball games. Ellen broke the scoring record by making 559 points. Myrna Aamodt-forward-Was a good substitute; her jokes and good humor will be greatly missed. Avis Hagen-guard-Was also a substitute, always willing to go in and help the team. Lois Schott-forward-Saw a lot of action this year and was always ready to go in and try some of her long shots to help us along. She also proved to be a good guard. Lois is a Junior so we are wishing her lots of luck next year. J-HAWKS IN ACTION Mr. Lyle Opheim began his second year at Joice as girls coach with fourteen girls reporting for practice. They were seniors: Myrna Aanodt, forward; Avis Hagen, guard; and Charlene Evans, forward; juniors: Ellen Haroldson, forward; Lois Schott, forward-guard; Marilyn Anonson, guard; sophomores: Bonnie Aamodt, guard; Marjorie Kallheim, guard; Carol Ameson, guard; freshmen: Barbara Schott, guard; Beth Evans, forward; eighth: Loretta Evans, guard; Sharon Huso, forward; and Marilyn Lindflott, guard. For the second year of basketball Joice came through with thirteen wins and ten loses. Mrs. Lyle Opheim, chaperone and Marilyn Mohr, manager, helped the team by their work. Their work was greatly appreciated by the team and their spirit helped the team in many games. The first six and a couple of subs, don’t make all the team. It takes all the squad members, striving for a starting position to push the team to better playing standards. Even though they didn’t get to play so much they were always on the bench rooting for the others and ready to go in and do their part. Next year should be a great year for the Joice girls, as five members of the starting line-up will be back. The starters that will be returning are Ellen Haroldson and Beth Evans-forwards and Marilyn Anonson, Barbara Schott and Bonnie Aamodt, guards. Mr. Opheim plans to move Barbara up to the front court next season where she has seen a lot of action. Lois Schott and Loretta Evans have seen a lot of activity at guard the past season and should fit in well after two or three games of experience. This page sponsored by: T. 0.

The five girls that especially enjoyed the • 2-l53 basketball season were the cheerleaders: Enid Lien, Barbara Schott, Carol Arneson, Beth Evans, and Con- nie Abraham. Cheering was a new experience for Enid, Barbara, Beth, and Connie. But Carol had previous experience. For their uniforms they chose white wool sweaters, white blouses, black and white pleated skirts. To complete their outfits they had letters on their sweaters. The letters consisted of a black J with a megaphone with Joice writ- ten in gold through the middle. Many new cheers were worked out and the action for some of the old ones was changed. We held our pep meetings before every home game and also the tournament games. These pep meetings consisted of pep talks by the teachers and students and some skits given by the students. We wish to thank all who helped back the teams. The splendid co-operation and good sportsmanship of the cheering section at all games was greatly appreci- ated by all the cheerleaders. Joan Thompson was also cheerleader until October when she moved to Mason City. Connie then took her place.

THE LETTERMAN Roger Christianson, 6 foot sophomore completed his second year as a capable J-Hawk starter. This season, Roger broke the single game school scoring records as he hit 32 points against Rock Palls and also shattered the school single scoring mark with I4.7O points for an average of 19 6 points per game. A natural, Roger should continue his five pace in the coming season and lead his mates to many victories. Ronnie Calgaard, 5 foot 7 inch sophomore was the most improved member of this years basketball squad. His fiery play from a guard position led the boys to victory in several games during the season. We are looking forward to his all-around basketball ability to be displayed in the next two years. Donovan Dahlby, 5 foot 9 inch senior will always be remembered as a deadly set-shot artist. He was especially effective in playing an important role in breaking up zone defenses. We will miss his comer specialty in the coming year. Curtis Arneson, 6 foot 3 inch senior served as the backbone of our rebound- ing strength through the past season. It will be hard to find a rugged, hard- working perfomer to replace him in future years. He was chosen as honorary captain this year by fellow-lettemen. Gary Medlang, 5 foot 5 inch freshman played good basketball throughout the season. His fine passing and faking ability, along with timely clutch shots turned the game to a Joice win on several occasions. With three seasons of com- petition remaining, Gary also has a bright basketball future to look forward to. Gordon Dahl, 5 foot 8 inch Junior was our number one replacement at either forward or guard. Gordie has good possibilities of developing into a very good perfomer in his senior year. Paul Fibelstad, 5 foot 3 inch sophomore was also a formed well when called upon to contribute his share to two seasons of basketball remaining.
