We were sixteen in number. They were Max Bierstedt, Marilyn Meyer, Marvin Kienitz, Charlene Schroeder, Pat Murray, Carl Hansen, Bob Spear, Pauline Miller, Delores Kienitz, Vera and Bob Harms, Dick Ravn, Duane Christ, Marilyn Johnson, Esther Abbas, and Lee Buffington. Eight of these completed the twelve years in Lakota. In second grade Johanna Ketwick joined us but our enrollment dropped to thirteen. Carl Hansen, Delores Kienitz, Esther Abbas, and Lee Buffington left us. During this year Pauline and Dick were seen making faces at each other and as a consequence were in front of the room making faces for a half hour, in front of the entire class. In third grade Eugene Christ, Viola Potthoff and Edward Sohn joined our crew. Our enrollment was fifteen because Johanna moved. During our fourth year of school Kenneth' Kienitz and Wallace Mitchell were added to our class. Edward Sohn, Marvin Kienitz, Vera and Bob Harms left us so our enrollment was thirteen once more. We put on our first performance during this year by giving The Golden Goose for our mothers. In the fifth grade our class enlarged to fifteen members. Morris Wortman and Rector Thompson joined our forces. Our teacher during these past three years was Lavon Madden. Although Rector Thompson left us in sixth grade our class increased to seventeen when Phyllis Kluger, Evelyn Daniels and Willis Koppen enlisted in our growing army. Elsie Enderland was our teacher. When we reached seventh grade our enrollment was twenty. Marilyn Johnson and Phyllis Kluger left us but as usual we had some new members. They were Irene Boehm Ruth Thompson, Merwin Farrow, Robert Ruby, and Joan Anderson. In eighth grade our class grew larger. Delos King, Henry Hippen, Donald Hagedorn, Patricia Greenfield, Gerald Gordon and Waldo Miller looked with awe into our strange faces. During this year Irene Boehm, Kenneth Kienitz had left us, leaving us a class of twenty-two. We entered our first year of high school as green Freshies with an enrollment of twenty-five. Many students from the country were with us. They were Frances Christ, Eldon Goeke, Dennis Wertjes, and Jim Mullarky. Donald and Evelyn had moved away. By our Sophomore year a few were getting tired of Lakota School and Gerald Gordon, Viola Potthoff had left us leaving our enrollment twenty-one. Later Robert Ruby quit so our class was slowly dirninishing. Wallace Mitchell and Jim Mullarky also left us. During our Junior year Joan Anderson went to school in Manktao. Everyone had fun putting on a successful class play and banquet. Joan was with us again when we started our last year of high school. She moved after the first semester and so we graduate as a class of seventeen. During our high school years, we have had several teachers. They were, the Misses Strand, Butler, Jerde, Mrs. Mumford, Mrs. Beemer, Mrs. Daniels, Mrs. Wilson, and Messrs., Cook and Barrett. During these years we have had forty-one classmates at one time or another. 17' CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of '48-'49, being of the best of spirit and in a generous mood, do hereby bequeath the following to the Juniors. I, Max Bierstedt, will my speaking ability to Violet Wirtjes, so she can use it as well as I can. I, Duane Christ, will my mathematical mind to Helen Stenzel, for her angles of life aren't mathematical. I, Eugene Christ, will my harshness of voice to Gilda Melz, so she may also be heard. I, Frances Christ, will my feet to Ronald Meyer, so he isn't the only one who can stand it, poor sole. I, Merwin Farrow, will my silence and ability to blush to Margaret Christ, who hopes that she can face it also. I, Eldon Goeke, will my hurnoresque speaking ability to Florence Olson, so she can tell a joke instead of laughing at it. I, Henry Hippen, will my driving ability, dignity, unconquerable wit, and witty sayings to Bernice Wirtjes so her life will be full of surprises. I, Marilyn Meyer, will my ability to cover ground quickly to Leona Hippen, so she can catch fleet-foot Farrow. I, Pauline Miller, will my thorough judgment and understanding of people to Jenifer Bosma, so he can understand life also. I, Waldo Miller, will my ability to stretch the truth and then some to Walter Eichenberger, so he can follow my footsteps. I, Pat Murray, will my basketball ability and my respect for boys to Marcella Stecker, so life won't get tedious. I, Dichk Ravn, will my big feet to Roger Meyer, so he can understand my sole and his sole to come. I, Charlene Schroeder, will my height to Lois Leslie, my swing and sway to Delores Kientiz, in hopes of keeping them unraveled. I, Robert Spear, will my he-man ability to Paul Darnauer, in hopes he can use it better than I can. I, Ruth Thompson, will my ability to go out with any male around to Fern Swanson in hopes that she can keep up with me. I, Dennis Wertjes, will my vocabulary and social attitude of people to Jennie Swalve, in hopes she can try to use it better than I can.

Buffola Center and Titonka both Class A schools were both beaten in early season play and although the scores were not high the defense appeared tough. A series of ankle injuries and the loss of Virgil Barrett through an appendec- tomy put the skids under the hapless Lakota quintette and they lost several games in a row some of them to teams they had previously beaten. Statistics showed that the Eagles were bogging down in the rebound department especially in the offensive end, as teams were able to start fast breaks from there that ended in scoring plays. All possible means to correct this failed as the boys had practically reached a limit in their power to overcome gravity. However these boys were still able to have a better than a fifty per cent average for the season. They displayed good sportsmanship and were always good competitors. Dick Ravn playingthis last year as a guard after holding down this position for four years was usually assigned the toughest man to guard and always carried out his assignment well. Merwin Farrow was good on all around floor play. Duane Christ, a speedy forward, was usually able to slip around his guard for extra points. Jenifer Bosma and Virgil Barrett seeing Varsity action for the first time gave promise of being able to carry on the game successfully next year. GIRLS' BASKETBALL Although not the calibre of teams of previous years, Lakota's diminutive sextette gave a good account of themselves in a schedule which included teams only in their near vicinity. With the loss of Agnes Olson in the front court and two regulars in the back court, replacements had to be picked from inexperienced players, which included two Freshmen. Shirley Ankeny did a remarkable piece of work in holding down forwards matching her in size. Pearl Farrow also performed exceedingly well in the front ' court and although not always consistant, probably turned in the best scoring perfor- mance of any Freshman in this section of the state. Florence O1son's good passing and floor play helped set up plays for many scores. The real performer for the Lakota sextette proved to be Pat Murray, the only hold-over of the 1946 quarter finalist. Sparking the team to their many victories and consistantly turning in stellar performances, Pat was constantly praised by the op- posing coaches as being the most versatile of the cage performances. Margaret Christ did outstanding rebounding work and floor play. She was honored by being picked on the Second All County Team. Berniece Wirtjes also did good work in stopping forwards with high offensive averages. Fouls seemed to be the outstinding weakness of the team. This caused at least four of the six defeats they suffered. This was undoubtedly caused by lack of experience and should be corrected by next year. Patsy ,Miller, Hilda Swalve, Loretta Miller and Dorothy Winkleman proved to be capable replacements. Outstandingimaterial in the seventh and eighth grades promise to make interesting competition for suits and positions next year. 35 FRONT ROW: fLeft to Right, Billy Beemer Frank Lewis Gerald Bierstedt Elnor Heidecker Larry Gerzema FRONT ROW: JUNIOR HIGH BASKETBALL SECOND ROW: KLeft to Rightj Dick Ravn--Coach Gordon Hans Harlan Heidecker Billy Wortman Larry Winter Morris Janssen Roy Swanson Mrs. Stafford--Sponsor JUNIOR I-HGH GIRLS' BASKETBALL SECOND ROW: fLeft to Rightl fLeft to Right, Deloris Scharemberg Merwin Farrow--Coach Darlene Ennen Janice Miller Marlene Kienitz Darlene Farrow LaVaun Barrett Shirley Farrow Erna Heidecker Geraldine Jansen Donna Olsen Norma Hippen Mrs. Stafford---Sponsor 37 THIRD ROW: QLeft to Rightj De Wayne Maass Dwayne Rippentrop Irvin Wirtjes THIRD ROW: QLeft to Right, Sharon Dundas Mary Jane I-Iagedorn Arlene Ruby Beverly Rippentrop Marlene Sachs Marie Behnkendorf Lois Miller BASEBALL L CHEERLEADERS BATTERY SUBS gill sf 5 X' 01?

Getting on the Greyhound bus Rover, we journeyed westward. Barely getting started, who should we meet but Henry Hippen. He told us that he had moved out West near the Fred Christ farm. Continuing on our journey we happened to glance out of the window as we stopped for the Railroad Crossing at Gerled, where we saw Dick's Korn Krib. A huge sign above read, We sell Ravn's Raving Good Gurndrops and Popcorn. While stopping for a short visit with Dick, he treated us to some of his popcorn, which one of the girls found very filling and broke one of her girdle strings, so we had to go to Burt. Why Burt? Well, naturally we had to get one of the famous brands of girdles. We stopped out front of a swanky store above which a sign read, Gerty Garmons Good Girdles and Garters. Frances and Lefty said they had a very snappy business. We discovered while visiting with the Garmons that the Governor of Iowa, Dennis Wirtjes, was ill or at least something was the Mather with him. Who wouldn't be with two Dorothy's waiting at two different altars to lead him to rnatrimony after his recovery. Next stop was St. Louis and while waiting for the baseball game to start we visitied radio station U-C-A-N-'-T-C-H-I-M where Bob Spear was on tele- vision as the fat man. Then back to the ball game, ah yes, there's our famous local baseball player, who now is playing ball with the St. Louis Cardinals and Shirley A. The ball player none other than Merwin Farrow. Texas was our next stop and on to a dude ranch. As we approached the cattle were stampeding and Morris and Donna Ites were riding neck and neck to head off the herd. Charlene Man-Hater-Schroeder was having a good time with her fifth husband and ten children. In her spare time she was doing sketches of her family in sand dunes. After having a refreshing glass of cactus juice we headed on to San Diego, where Mrs. Harold Frerichs was stationed. She is none other than Pauline Miller. On to San Francisco, whiel there we went to a news- stand and bought a prison paper. Very interesting, Waldo Miller was staying in a lower ten at Alcatraz carrying on a hobby of writing love letters to Pearl F. We caught the Slow Boat to China, but were blown off our course and landed in Australia. Here we found Max Bierstedt in business for himself Qrunning a greenhouse and specializing in Four Roses and Fernsl. Again we set out and this time for China where we found that Eldon Goeke and read a love poem to Pat Murray and stumbled over a book of Confuscius sayings and broke his heart in four places fcompound fracture, and now she is nursing him back to the altar, where she was intending on leading him anyhow. After wishing him good luck fha-hal we went to England. We decided a good place to visit would be the Palace of Bonney Charlie. When we reached the palace we found Duane Christ busy teaching Enstein's theory to Princess Elizabeth's babv. For a pastime he is manufacturing string for Yo-Yo's. Duane told us that Eugene Christ was in the Sahara Desert. Upon reaching the desert we saw that he had a very Buzz.ing business of raising bees. We read in a paper that Ruth Thompson was defending her wrestling title against Tired Tillie, so we thought we had better get back to New York and see our old school- mate win. fShe did by pinning Tillie in three minutesl. When the match was over we went to the Metropolian Opera where Marilyn was singing and Kenny Mulligan was sel- ling overripe fruit to satisfy the customers who had gotten rouped into buying the tickets. We again boarded Rover and started back to good old Lakota and our happy homes again, although it will be hard to adapt ourselves to staying in and around one town. 46 JUST DUCKY Cast of Characters Mr, Maxwell, thinks he is head of house ---------- - - - Paul Darnauer Mrs. Maxwell, head of the house ------ - - Delores Kiellifz Betty Lou, the young daughter ------- L vis Leslie Bernadine, Betty's best friend ---- - - Helen Sfenlel Wilbur, atom bomb ------------ ' ' Richard P1'iCe Hercules, Wilbui-'s talkative friend - - - --------- - - - - - Jenifer Bosma Connie, the older daughter ------------- '-'--' ' B 6 rneice Weffjes Craig, Connie's boy friend --------- --'- R OSC?

That is a question. What should be done about them? That is a problem. Betty Lou Maxwell and Bernadine Smith are a couple of questions and problems rolled into two. It seems that they're always up to something, and, gee whiz, there's just no stopping them. But after all, girls will be girls. This day started off peacefully enough at the Maxwell house, in fact, it was a whale of a day. Papa Maxwell had just been chosen as the new head of the citizen's committee. Why? Because he had one of the finest and most upstanding families in the entire community. But it seems that Betty Lou and Bernadine had been wanting to write to Vester Blayne--who edits the lovelorn colurnn in the local papers-- and they chose this day. Of course, they had no problem. Heavens no! But doesn't every girl have the desire to send in a letter anyway? So they proceeded to make one up, filled with pathos and deep heart throbs. It was really a. sender. Since they wanted to make it sound as desperate as possible, they said that the writer was in love with a man forty-four years of age, who had children fourteen, fifteen, and nineteen--and that she was frantic and knew where she could get hold of a shotgun. So they mailed their masterpiece, and waited in anticipation for the evening paper. But was their letter pub- lished? No! lnstead, Miss Blayne called on Mama Maxwell and unfolded to her the complete story of Betty Lou's sad plight. From there things reach one of the most feverish fever pitches ever crowded into one play. When Mr. Morre--the chairman of the citizen's committee--and Del Marshall, a newspaper reporter, drop in for an inter- view with Papa Maxwell, the girls mistake Marshall for the county marshall, the state marshall, or at least some kind of marshall, so they once again go into a huddle. They just know that he's there to arrest Betty Lou. So what do they decide ? Insanity. Betty Lou will plead insanity: little brother Wilbur also is coaxed into acting balmy, and they even go so far as to prove that the entire family is nuts--and that includes papa himself. 47 SENIOR CLASS PLAY The Senior Class presented the play There'll Come a Day, on April ZZ, the story is as follows: Make way for the Kelton family of Rainbow Falls! They've joined in the big push, and here they are located in sunny California, very much intent upon crashing the movies. And do they crash them? The crash they make is the next thing to the one heard 'round the world. It may not get them right into pictures, but it gets the audience into a laughing mood--and right away. Because this Kelton farnily is one family bent on succeeding. There' Papa Kelton--he's employed as a milkman while awaiting his big break--but so far, it's been only milk bottles! And there's Mamma Kelton--an aspiring playwright with ideas, ambition, and three effervescent daugh- ters who, with their friends, proceed to keep the whole place in a turmoil all the time. No wonder Mamma's plays haven't broken any records on Broadway. No won- der Mamm's plays have never even BEEN on Broadway--what with adolescents ex- ploding all over the place every time she starts to concenentrate. And there's Beatrice--daughter Beatrice--who was cut out for the movies. But apparently cut out wrong--she can't even get in a mob scene for a Bugs Bu.nny picture. And there's Lindy--the little one of the family--who finallys succeeds--succeeds in getting the whole farnily practically booted out of their tired apartrnent fthe last in townj and into a tent. There's the eledest daughter, Julie, the only really sensible one of the whole crop. And there're all of the neighbors, who apparently use the Kelton domicile as the hub of this fair city and charge in and out like nobody's business. 48 August 30 September Z-3 ' 8 10 14 17 Z0 2.1 ZZ 25 30 October 4 5 12 14 15 Z7 November 12 15 17 19 ZZ Z5 30 December Z 6 SCHOOL CALENDAR Where is everyone going ?
