Flower: White Carnation Colors: Fuschia and Gold ln September 1937, there were fourteen wide-eyed chil- dren who entered the enormous school building for their first day of school. Of all these children only Ramona Gahm re- mained in this school to be graduated with the other Forty- niners . During the next two years two students dropped out but in the fourth grade one student entered making the very un- lucky number of thirteen. The bad luck seemed to continue for the class as five dropped out leaving only eight students in the fifth grade, then four more moved away making four to enter the sixth grade. Esta Bean entered the next fall, and Juanita Nuzum was dropped from the class roll. James Towne and Mary McDaniel entered making the eighth grade class six in number. Then ca.me the day for these students to start their ninth year in school. They entered high school as Green Freshmen in September, 1945. This was done very gracefully by Charlotte Anderson, Esta Bean, Thersa Conyers, Ramona Gahm, Nina Jones, Mary McDaniel, Barbara Smith, and James Towne. During the tenth grade Charlotte Anderson left and Richard Hagberg came making the eight who carried on until their elev- enth year when Arlene Rowe enrolled and Barbara Smith and Richard Hagberg left. This left six in the class. During the surnmer between their Junior and Senior years, Theresa Conyers dropped out to join the ranks of married women leaving the remaining five, namely: Esta Bean, Ramona Gahm, Nina Jones, Arlene Rowe, and James Towne to be graduated May 18, 1949. They are small in numberbut great in ambitions, plans, and hopes for their futures. These graduates, known as the Forty-niners , have many happy memories upon which to reflect. They feel they owe much of their school success to their parents, who have sacrificed much to help them, and to the mem- bers of the faculty who have helped them continuously. 10 fx UNDERGRADS oqgviy Ay , ,5 .-,Am 4 unior Clan cg0pll0l1'l0l'e Cla!!

The school is represented by four cheerleaders, one from each class in high school. They have attended, and lead cheers at all games. Three of the girls play basketball also, leaving but one girl to lead g cheers during the girls' game. We think she should be given special credit for this effort. They are left to right: Patricia Harl, Junior: Alice Riley, Sophomore, Ramona Gahm, Senior: and Anne McColley, Freshman: representatives of their respective classes. GIRLS' BASKETBALL Everyone was proud of the Little Sioux High School Girls' Basketball Squad this season. They had three wins and showed good team work and sportsmanship in every game. Many close battles were fought including the close game with Woodbine in the Sectional Tournament. Sioux was defeated only Z0-22. With only three more points the girls would have made it to the Consolation game where they would have received the fourth place trophy, but Lady Luck evaded them. However, they led the first half and played a wonderful game. Ramona Gahm was high scorer for the season with 128 points. Gladys Ruffcorn was second high with 83 points.

Dream Girl is the play cnosen by the Class of 1949, and with the help of four members of the other classes, they plan to present it at the High School Auditorium, March 29 and 30. Director of the play is Mrs. Maude Olney. The play is a combination of mystery and romance. Jerry McAllister, protrayed by James Towne, is the cause of it all. He falls in love with a statue and is believed to be insane. His fiancee, Virginia Randall, a pretty girl spoiled by her father, thinks this is very amusing at first. Ramona Gahm plays the part of Virginia. Later .Terry falls in love with the beautiful, Leatrice Lee fEsta Beanj. Dwight Alton as R. J. Randall plays the part of Virgi.nia's rich father. Arlene Rowe as Kathryn, Ierry's sister, falls in love with Buck Saunders, a newspaper reporter fGeorge O'Day,. Nina Jones portrays the part of Irma McAllister, the worried mother. Harry Mikkleson plays Tommy, Ierry's thirteen year old brother whose voice is changing. Ramona Mann has the amusing part of Cindy, the maid.

This delightful comedy concerned the adventures of Spencer Atwell, the young heir to the fortune of the Atwell Farm Implements of Davenport, Iowa. He was urged by his parents to go into business and continue in his father's foot- steps. He pretended a sudden fondness of art and went to Chicago. Using his generous allowance, he had a gay old time and met a girl, Kay Lindsay, who worshiped at the shrine of art. About this time Spencer's mother decided to visit Chicago to see how he was getting along with his studies , as he had written her glowing accounts of his progress in art. Kay also pressed him to see his studio, which did not exist. He finally, after combing Chicago, found an artist who was good, but couldn't sell his pictures and was being evicted from his apart- ment. Valerie Ziegler, an actress, and her fiance, Mark Warrington, a play-wright, finally coaxed Gregory Thurston, the artist, into accepting Spencer Atwell's money and letting him have credit for Gregory's art. After many mixed-up experiences the play ended happily for everyone. 26 FRESHMAN INITIATION On December l, 1948, the Class of 1953 was initiated into Little Sioux High School by the Seniors. In the evening, after a long day of obeying and bowing to the Seniors, we were entertained in the school gym. Games were played and various contests held. A delicious lunch was served, after which we all departed declaring it is nice to become a mem- ber of Little Sioux High School after all. FOOD SALE The Freshman and Sophomore Classes, on October 23, jointly held a food sale in the former cafe building. It was for the purpose of starting a Junior-Senior Banquet fund for each class. Pie and coffee was served during the sale of the donated foods. The food sale was well attended and each class realized 813.50 after all expenses were deducted. The classes are now planning to have another food sale in the near future. MARCH OF DIMES The Geometry Class sponsored a popcorn and home- made candy sale at the Valentine Festival on February ll. The proceeds of the sale were donated to the March of Dimes. S 11.50 was turned over to the local chairman. This made a total of about S25 donated to the March of Dimes Fund by the local high school this year. JUNIOR ACTIVITIES The members of the Junior Class have had a very busy year. They have taken part in many activities. With the help of our sponsor and patrons of the school, we have been able to obtain the necessary funds for the Junior-Senior Banquet to be held later. We are grateful for the co-operation we have received. The Junior play was presented in October, and holiday cards were sold by the class to further increase the finances of the class. We also have been selling popcorn, candy, and gum at basketball games. Plans are now underway for a Mother-Daughter Banquet to be held soon. 27 SENIOR PICTURE DAY The five seniors of Little Sioux High School, with their sponsor, Mr. Fritz, journeyed to Sioux City on December 9, 1948, where they had their pictures taken at the Voiland-Genelli Studio. A delicious meal was then enjoyed at Tollers Tea Room. After an afternoon spent in Christmas shopping the group met at the Martin Hotel for the evening meal. A double feature movie was en- joyed at the Paramount Theater. The shows were The Return of October and Manhattan Angel . On the way home a snack was enjoyed at Onawa. After a wonderful but tiring day, the seniors arrived home about 10:00. SENIOR SKIP DAY The Senior Class of 1949 plan to go to Omaha to celebrate their day of freedom from class work on May 6, 1949. While there they plan to visit Boys' Town, Joslyn Memorial, the Radio Station WOW, and other points of interest. It is a day to which they have all looked forward for some time. They all know it will be a day worth waiting for and remembering. VALENTINE FESTIVAL The Little Sioux School sponsored a Valentine Festi- val on February ll, 1949. The proceeds were applied on the cost of the movie projector recently purchased for use in the school. Each of the festival committees were under the direction of a member of the student council and spon- sored by a faculty member. The committees were as fol- lows: Movie, Tickets, Lunch, Dance, Fortune Telling, Fish Pond, Bingo, and Wishing Well. Chances were also sold on a four quart pressure cooker. First prize for selling the most chances went to Donald Bohall and second prize to Lois Layton. A candy sale was sponsored by the Geometry Class, the proceeds of which were donated to the March of Dimes. The untiring efforts of the committees and sponsors made the festival a success. We owe much to our school patrons also for their co-operation and support.

Here I am, supposed to write the prophecy for the Senior Class of 1949. Goodness, how do I know what they will be doing ten years from now? Those dancing flames don't give me any ideas and I have looked at this crystal ball for hours and I still don't see a thing. I wonder how the gypsy woman does it? Well, I mustn't go to sleep as I shall have to write something down. Where am I? My, how things have changed. I wonder how I got down town. Well, anyway, there is my car and I might as well be at home helping Mother. Now, I know it's Little Sioux, and here comes Nina Jones down the street pushing a baby carriage. Nina first spent a year taking a beauty course so she could be ready for any financial em- ergency. She married Douglas Burns the June after fin- ishing the beauty course, and now enjoys her homemaking. She and Douglas have a fine baby boy, Douglas Jr. Nina lives at the Burns' Home where she takes care of Douglas' Mother. No more River Sioux for Nina. Well, there she goes into Alton's store for her groceries. Guess I'1l turn on the car radio and see what is on. Ah! There's the latest song hit, andy my favorite, too. I wonder who the singer is. She has a very nice voice and surely sounds familiar. Well, for goodness sake, it's Ramona Gahm. So she finally got to New York and has be- come a successful radio star! The papers say she may be another .Tudy Canova. Her mother says that Ramona has finally decided to marry that wealthy cream station magnet Eddie Johnson. Good luck to you, Rarnona. Maybe I should run out and see how Esta is while I am in town. She and Edmond McDaniel farm the Harry Baldwin place now that Baldwins have moved to town. Esta married Edmond in June of 1950 and they have a nice home and two lovely children, Edmond Jr. and Louise. The McDaniel family just recently returned from a vacation in Florida. Esta said she enjoyed it very much, but there is just no place like Iowa and home. Esta and Ed are driving their new 1959 Nash. It's really a beautiful car. They were able to discard Ed's Ford finally. It was quite a relic. 32 Oh, I must tell you, I saw Jimmie Towne in Onawa last Saturday and had a long talk with him. His folks have retired and he is farming the old home place. Jim couldn't stick to being a bachelor, so in 1952 he fell head over heels for a pretty girl from Onawa. They were married the following year and now have one girl. Ji.m says she looks just like her mother did when he knew her during his last year in high school. The last letter I received from Arlene was quite full of news. After she was graduated, Arlene became a teacher in Nebraska. Give her the wide open spaces. she said. After two years of teaching, Arlene found the man of her dreams. She said he was better any day than Roy Rogers. They live on a ranch in Nebraska and Arlene really enjoys her herd of horses. Of course her favorite will always be Dynamite. I must answer Arlene's letter soon and let her know how good old Sioux is coming. She is coming home for a vacation soon, so maybe the Class of 1949 will be able to have a reunion. Oh my goodness, but I did fall asleep and I haven't done a thing on this class prophecy. Say, was that ever a swell dream. Now I've got some wonderful ideas, so I had better write them down before I forget them. TO THE SENIORS The seniors have a class of five, All very merry and quite aliveg Very ambitious and helpful they-- With plenty of time for fun and play. Now take Jimmie Towne, A boy who's funny as a clown. We'll next take Esta Bean, She's quite the best I've ever seen. No one's as free and happy as Ramona Gahm, She's quite as gentle as a lamb. Now let's see, there is Nine Jones, In her work she never groans. Last of all is Arlene Rowe, Into a fine lady she will grow. This is the sentiment of us all, We'll surely miss you all, next fall. 33 Mr. Fritz-Jack, who was it that prompted you then ---- I heard someone whisper that date to you? Jack-I expect it was History repeating itself again. Mrs. Olney-How would you punctuate this sentence ? The wind blew a ten-dollar bill around the corner. Anne-I would make a dash after it. Dwight-Yesterday I got hit by a cowardly egg. George-What kind of an egg is that ? Dwight-A cowardly egg is one that hits you, then runs. Edmond Mc.- Sir, er--that is--er, I would like to--er, that is, I mean I have been going with your daughter for quite a long time. Mr. Bean- Well, what do you want--a pension ? Mr. Rice- Young man, are you teaching this class ? Donnie B.- No, sir. Mr. Rice- Then why don't you quit acting like a fool? Deloris-I thought I told you to come after supper. Dwain-That's what I came after . JOKES Mrs. Glasser-If you had ten potatoes and had to divide them between three persons, how would you do it? Bill I-I.-Mash them. Donnie G.--A tree is an object that will stand in one place for years---then jump in front of a lady driver. Kenneth--When one tree is talking to another tree and still another tree is listening in, what is it called? Iris-I don't know, what ? -is-nneth-Leave dr opping! Jimmie T.-Today my heart beat 103,387 times, my blood traveled 167,000,000 miles, I breathed 23,040 tirnes, I spoke 48,000 words, and moved 7,000,000 brain cells-- I'm tiredffff Robert-I like school work, it fascinates me---I can sit and look at it for hours! Dale-Jim what do you expect to be when you graduate from school? Jimmie B.-An old man. Ramona G.-Mr. Fritz, do we have to write out the questions in History ? Mr. Fritz-No, just the answers. 34 C X Qqutog 'zapfia Q I L 1 1 , . K WALSWORTH Ulhqaaphdllomal rv ll!-IUOIII IIDHI IAIOOUIO- lo., U I.
