CLASS POEM We are the Seniors who go this year, Of our friends the Juniors we have no fear. lVe leave them our plaees to try to fill, We hope they may graduate as we know we will. We thought that we were always right, Because 'we studied day and night. But anyway we did no wrong, Sinee we have learned to sing our song. We wish the Sophomores 'much success: To the Freshmen less m-ischievousness. To always follow the teacher's rule, Then soon, they too, will be thru sehool. Remember the motto that we chose, Om' colors of silver and old rose. Although our faces you'll seem to miss, Please thi-nk of our future days with bliss. -Ev!-:LYN LARSON. MABEL A.

Let us hire the latest stream- lined automobile and take a tour of the United States and see what each of the members of that famous class is doing. First let us visit the famous hunting and fishing region of the state of Washington. Who is this great out-door sportsman we see? None other than Max Scheafer who has a reputation here for always getting the game he goes after. We spend an enjoyable half hour inspecting his large col- lection of stuffed specimens. Now a big hop to Florida. See all of the fruit farms. Who owns all of these? We will buy some fruit and find out. Whom do we meet? No- body but Gilbert Fillinger assisted in his work by many helpers. Each day he becomes wealthier and fatter. Next let us visit New York. Here we see Merwyn Cochran. Why is he wearing so many medals? Shall we ask him? Well, we are surprised to learn that he is the champion speed king and has won many airplane races the past five years. Now a pleasant drive to Boston and a visit to a famous hospital. Head Nurse Amy Arnold, dressed in the usual white greets us with a big smile. Her patients get well rapidly because of her pleasant smile. Back across the Mississippi again and to a nationally known golf course in Missouri. Who is the champion who crosses the green in long :strides to greet us? Why, it's Walter Sammons who has astonished the golfing world with his marvelous play. On West to Nebraska and a visit with Charles Shuppy. Charles is a bus driver. His route is from Omaha to Chicago. He is taller than when we last saw him and not quite so comical. Who ever thought that he could drive such a large vehicle? While here we will visit one of the high schools and have a chat with Mabel Wolf. She is principal and is well liked by all of her pupils because of her friendliness. She is just as patient as she was at Lockridge High School. To Wisconsin we will now go to see Viola Ogden. She is a telephone operator and enjoys her work very much. She answers all calls with her quiet, pleasing voice and everyone enfoys her service. Down now to Champaign, Illinois, and a visit to the University where Evelyn Larson is studying to be an artist. She is well on the way to success. We will visit the WLS radio broadcasting station in Chicago and see if any of our former classmates are among the numerous stars who broad- cast from this station. Here they are, the Hsongbirds of the air, Edna Rauscher and Flossie Smith. Their fan mail is enormous as they have thousands of listeners who write to tell them how fine their singing is. A state basketball tournament is in progress back in Iowa, so we will hasten back to see who is in charge. Why it is Lester Vorhies. He is one of the big coaches of the middlewest and a referee of ability. Declamatory Frank Wesfon Ilene I5'ognc'1' Eddie Linn Eddie Linn put Lockridge on the Declamatory map during the year 19234-153235, with his consistent victories in the oratorical division. He won first in five contests before going down to defeat in the district contest at Fort Madison. He won the pre-county contest at Libertyville, the county at Fairfield, the preliminary state contest at Mt. Pleasant, the sub-district contest held at Lockridge, and the pre-district at Burlington. We had our eyes on the county cup, but our chances were ruined by the measles epidemic that kept our humorous reader Ilene Bogner, and our dramatic contestant F1'ank lfVeston out of' the event. Eddie Linn's win placed us in second place, Fairfield Freshmen and Pleasant Plain tieing for first honors. Ilene Bogner used the selection, t'Friday Afternoon at the Yillagre School, Frank Weston won tirst place at the preliminary state contest at Mt, Pleasant with the reading, The Last Flight, and Eddie Linn chalked up his victories with the oratorical selection, The National Recovery ot' l'haraeter.

During the year we purchased purple tams with the letters L. H. S. in old gold. People have been kind enough to say that these add much to our appearance.

Hardly a day passed without someone practic- ing' for a music event. First we learned the songs for our operetta, Miss Cherry- blnssomf' after the operetta we began practice on three songs to be used at the Jefferson County Musical Festival, and six of our number did special work on a sextette number. Much to our disappointment the festival had to be cancelled. We made our final appearance when we sang at the commencement exercises.

CHARLES SHUPPY Ch ucl.- Chuck played a running guard position and will be lost by graduation. When- ever a fast opponent needed to be held to a low score Coach could depend on Charles. WALTER SAMMONS Sanzmic'l Walter played center on this year's team. His height and agrgressiveness made him a dangerous man under the basket. LAUREL PATTERSON Put Pat played at both center and standing guard positions. Out of several games because of injuries, he should show up to better advantage next year. Pat is a junior. LESLIE LINN Les Coach McMickle picked this guard out of the freshman quintette and played him .I ' as a regular most of the season. Shifty and fast he should make an outstanding player before he graduates. EDDIE LINN Ed Probably no member of the squad dreamed and talked as much basketball as Eddie. His enthusiasm was contagious. He was one of the most consistent forwards in the county. GLENN GRAD Ping Ping played a guard position and generally could be depended upon to hold his opponent to a low score. Once or twice during each game he would flip in a basket from around the center circle. FRANCIS LITTLETON Frannie Francis, a Sophomore, played forward position. His left handed passing and shooting was hard for his opponents to guard. Other men who were on the squad and who will be in the running for next year's team are: Howard Messer, Carl Sodergren, Robert Grubb, George Vorhies, Frank Weston, Clifford Leu, Vernon Leeper, Merle Johnson, Max Jacobson.

',- 475 j i f H 332 Eighty-five Years of Loclcridge School Houses Edna Rauscher The first school built in the Lockridge community was erected in 1850, a little west of the present site of the Baptist church. It was called the Ripley school house and was constructed of logs. Its dimensions were about eighteen by twenty-four feet, there was one door at the south end, with two windows on each side. What remains of the building is now standing on the Charlie Erickson farm south of Lockridge. The building was purchased in 1865, by Mr. Samuelson, grandfather of Miss Agnes Samuelson, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, and rebuilt on its present site and used for a home. The school term in this first school consisted of three summer months, taught by women and three winter months taught by men. The teacher had no definite boarding place, but was put up at first one place and then another within the community and served much the same purpose as Icabod Crane had in the Sleepy Hollow region of New York state, a kind of a traveling gazette, carrying the whole budget of local gossip from house to house. In 1865, the boys returning from Southern battlefields, it was decided to build a frame building. It was a one room structure built where the present school house stands. It was used until 1909, when it was purchased by James M. Hickenbottom, moved to its present location, two houses west of the Lutheran church, and remodeled for a home. Several times there were seventy or more students enrolled in that one room school house. Lockridge's third school building was constructed by Albert Larson 8x Sons in 1909. It was a one story edifice of two rooms. In 1917, when a three year high school was begun, another story was added and in 1929, increased enrollment in what had been changed in 1927, to a four year high school necessitated a twenty-four foot addition on the west which was built by V. O. Sodergren. On April 11th, 1932, a fire of unknown origin completely destroyed the building. Sanctioned by an almost unanimous vote of the people, the members of the school board, C. N. Mickey, President, L. E. Boos, Leroy Linn, A. R. Littleton and C. A. Rauscher, supervised the construction of our fine, modern building. An attempt has been made by the 'tGolden L stat? to compile a complete list of those who have taught in the Lockridge schools. The records before 1909, have not been preserved and probably some names have been omitted and some inserted where they did not belong. We have tried to arrange them in the order of their service. If mistakes have been made or names omitted, perhaps a future staff will rectify the errors. In point of service Miss Caulk has served nine and onewhalf years, and Mr. Weston nine years, the longest periods of which there is any record. Others who have taught for several years are Miss Clark, Mr. Calkins and Mrs. Scheafer, six years, Miss Laceja Montgomery, five years, Fay Boley, Grace Roberts, Francis Millane, and J. D. Vest, four years. We have names of ninety-seven teachers and probably have omitted several so that over one hundred men and women have weilded the birch over the heads of local pupils in the eighty-tive years since the first school bell called shiny laced boys and girls from play.

Class of 1935 In the fall of 1931, twenty-one freshmen entered the doors of Lock- ridge High School. Being teased and laughed at as being green was their first difficulty to overcome. This finally led to initiation which was pre- ceded by wearing green for one week. That particular week and that eventful night have lingered in our minds through all the years. We wish to thank the upper classmen for the powdered alum which was supposed to aid us in our high school years. After initation made us full fledged students, time went by as on wings, and in April came the school fire. My! the thoughts that run through our minds when that is mentioned. We could then be found wandering from church to community hall and back again. Those days are not to be for- gotten, especially when the freshmen were allowed to sit around a table on the stage where the temperature was several degrees warmer than it was below. At the beginning of our Sophomore year it was again wander from church to community hall and back again. Then came the grand opening of our new school building. An outstanding diHiculty during our Sophomore year was Geometry, but fortunately we survived. Only fourteen of our original twenty-one remained to become Juniors. We shone in Bookkeeping, were bright in Physics, but quite dull in Law. We entertained the Seniors at the annual banquet in Mt. Pleasant. Twelve of us remained to become dignified Seniors. It has been a busy and eventful year, with tests, measles, operetta, May breakfast, class play and all the events connected with Commencement. We have enjoyed our four years in Lockridge High and will always remember them with fond memories. STILL ON Carl Sodergren: Hey, Mr. Calkins did you know your lights are on? Mr. Calkins: Kdriving a Chevroletj Yeah? They were on the darn thing when I bought it. GOOD ADVICE He who knows and knows- and knows not that he knows, Is asleep-wake him. He who knows not-and knows not that he knows not, Is a fool-shun him. He who knows not-and knows he knows not, Is a child-teach him. He who knows and knows that he knows, Is wise-follow him. CAN THIS BE TRUE? Eddie L.: Well dear, how do you like our little town? Fairfield Girl Friend: This is the first cemetery I ever with electric lights. WHO???? Wants Mr. Calkins' Chevrolet for a souvenir. Wants Miss Clark's frown. Wants Everett Graf's unruly bicycle. Will take care of Ilene after Lester leaves. Wants Vernon Leeper's red, wavy hair. Will wear Max Scheafer's ten gallon hat. Wants Mr. Calkins' love for snakes. Will be dignified Seniors fifty years hence. the worn out clock in the ofiice. Ruth Carlborg's curls. Laurel Patterson's walk. Willard Nelson's intelligence. Wants Wants Wants Wants Will take Eddie Linn's place as jabberer. saw equipped SOUNDS LOGICAL Howard Messer: I wonder how many people are dead in this cemetery. Donald Johnson: All of them I guess. SOPHOMORE POEM Margaret Geiger We belong to the Sophomore class, Juniors we will be at last. There is a class in which we shine, Geometry is where we're prime. In History we pick out dates, But not with any classmates. In Civics we all dance with glee, For in this subject smart are we. Now in English for reports, We write 'em like good sports. Now to depart from the Sophomore class, Is going to be a mighty hard task. WOOD YOU GUESS IT? Robert Lenz: My uncle John has a wooden leg. Keith White: That's nothing. My aunt Jane has a Cedar Chest. A SECRET Mark Weston was playing in the house when his Dad, who had been skinning a skunk came in and told him to smell his hands. Mark did. Oh! Mamma, he protested, Daddy is rotten. SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN Francis Littleton: Mother, Mrs. Blank came while you wuz gone and waited for you nearly all afternoon. Mrs. Littleton: Oh! dear me, was she very incensed? Francis: No, at least not that I could smell. LOST AND FOUND Found-A sailor to be a pen pal, by Nedra Archibald.

LEARNING BY EXPERIENCE Lester: A fellow has to be careful about saying, 'I love you.' Max Scheafer: You said it. Lester: Yes, and believe me I wish I hadn't. DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK? We have a Wolf, but never heard her growl. That Everett's grin may be his fortune. That two freshmen girls have ten boys to choose from. Shirley can be in school and still Gohn. We have Grubb, but nothing to drink. We have the sons of John, Jacob, Carl, Nels, Swan, William, Lars, and Patter. Our Leeper is a good jumper. We have two Lenzes, but no rims for them. We have two trees, both Linus, What is a Little-ton? Amy says when Edna gets sound asleep you cannot Rausch-er. That Ruth spends a lot for postage. That coal is not being formed at present. That the manual training boys do some very fancy whistling and yodeling. That it generally rains when the Seniors plan a May breakfast. That the high school girls will become good basketball players with a little practice. That Cantril High School lost a lot of voice when Cliff left. That the business men play a 'wicked' basketball game. IN FRESHMAN HISTORY Mr. Weston: What are two things that prevent disease? Virgle Spray: Vaccination and intoxication. PERHAPS Miss Clark: Do you know why I flunked you? Cecil Nelson: I have no idea. Miss Clark: That's why. NOT ALWAYS THEN Mr. Weston: Can you spell a word with ten letters that starts with gas? Walter Sammons: Yes, automobile. WOULD THESE BE RED MARKS? Mr. Fillinger: Well son, did you get any bad marks today at school? Gilbert: I got a few dad, but not where they show. Senior Class Will We, the Class of 1935, of Lockridge High School, Lockridge, Iowa, United States of America, parties of the first to twelfth parts inclusive, being considered of sound mind and body, having been warned by our lawyer, Mr. Weston, his coadjutors the faculty, do hereby declare this to be our Last Will and Testament.
