Senior Class History It was a bright sunny day in the fall of September 1937, and the doors of old Lytton High were wide open awaiting all the students for the first day of school. Why look who is coming up the stairs to the first grade room. Yes, it is Mrs. Bardole leading for maybe I should say dragging, her small son Duane. This was Duane's first year of school. He was greeted at the door by his teacher Miss Lillian Halverson, and twenty- four bashful classmates hiding behind their mothers' skirts. The following were the classmates: Lora Nell Boyd, Donita Campbell, Keith Jowler, Dean Hass, John Heecht, Ray Hill, Alice Jones, Donita Kruskop, Donald Lauver, Eldon Mayo, Avis Meusberger, Donald Nicholson, Maurice Pelley, Delmar Scharn, Richard Schultz, Bonnie Rae Schwartz, Wilbert Sierrnering, Shirley Stevens, Joann Underwood, Joann Wagner, John Wagner, Loren Little, and Twyla Pelley. During the course of the year four of our classmates, Ray Hill, Joann Wagner, John Wagner, and Loren Little moved away. Lora Nell Boyd, Avis Meusberger, and Shirley Stevens were left behind to greet new class- mates the coming year. The next fall we were greeted by our second grade teacher, Dorothy Collins. We also welcomed three new students: Helmuth Helmbrecht, Barbara Pellersels, and Kathleen Foresone. Keith Fowler, John Heecht, and Barbara Pellersels moved away during the year. We left no one behind us this year. At the third grade door we were greeted by Miss Catherine Casey. We now had our classroom on the north side of the schoolhouse and we felt a little more grown up. This year we had a new experience in taking state tests. I dbn't think we were very thrilled about taking them though. Mary Vauble joined our class this year and Kathleen Foresone moved away during the year. Again this year we were fortunate that we all were promoted. Miss Lola Gildemeister greeted us at the door of the fourth grade room. I think we will all remember her because she was so tall and slender. The pupils this year were: Duane Bardole, Ruth Barkley, Darrel Dierson, Dean Hass, Helmuth Helmbrecht, Alice Jones, Donita Kruskop, Donald Lauver, Eldon Mayo, Donald Nicholson, Maurice Pelley, Delinar Scharn, Richard Schultz, Bonnie Rae Schwartz, Wilbert Siemering, Mary Vauble, Robert Ditzel, Donita Campbell, and Twyla Pelley. Helmuth Helmbrecht moved away during the year and Donald Lauver left after the school year was com- pleted. This year Don Nicholson and Alice Jones were left behind to make new ac,- quaintances the next year. The next fall we advanced to the second floor of the schoolhouse and we began to feel more important than ever. Miss Lois Ray greeted us along with four new stu- dents and classmates. They were: Lulu Gildea, Helen Meyer, Joann Simons, and Donald Bovey. Priscilla Francis entered our grade during the year, but remained be- hind to continue with new classmates. Wilbert Siemering left us this year to continue in country school. Miss Margie Bentley met us at the sixth grade door. Four new .classmates joined us. They were Darlene Kuebler, Dorothy Alberts, Donald Subbert and Delbert Hillmer. During the year, in fact on April Fools Day, the girls had quite a privilege of attend- ing the wedding of our teacher. She was now Mrs. Pellersels. We were all quite fortunate in passing on to Jr. High. ' We all felt quite grown up in the seventh grade. We did find though, that the work was quite a bit harder and also we had a lot more walking to do, because now we had to go to different classrooms and had several teachers. Miss Sherwood 'was the main teacher though. Again this year Wilbert Siemering joined us during the year. This year Maurice Pelley and Mary Vauble left to join the class behind us. We found upon entering the eighth grade, that it was not much different from the previous year. Miss Sherwood was again our main teacher. The new pupils this yea: wereg Ramona Vanderheiden, Virginia Ewoldt, and Darrel Plain. 12 We all looked forward to the eighth grade graduation which finally came. Those who received their diplomas were: Duane Bardole, Ruth Barkley, Donita Campbell, Robert Ditzel, Dean Hass, Delbert Hillmer, Donita Kruskop, Eldon Maye, Helen Meyer, Delmar Scharn, Dick Schultz, Bonnie Rae Schwartz, Wilbert Siemering, Donald Subbert, Carol Plain, Darrel Plain, Ramona Vanderheiden, Virginia Ewoldt, and Twyla Pelley. Ramona Vanderheiden moved away during the summer. At last we were ready to complete the last four rungs of the ladder we had been climbing. We were all anxiously awaiting our high school days. This meant partici- pating in sports, music, and all the other great things that go with high school. We were joined in our Freshman year by the following who had come in from country school: Donald Nehman, Connie Kreft, Hilbert Schramm, Alan Mhtthias, and Robert Carlson, and Betty McMeekin who came from Jolley. During the year Virginia Ewoldt left us. After our Sophomore year, Daryl and Caryl Plain and Connie Kreft left us. Dur- ing the Junior year no one joined us and no one left us. Our present graduating class is as follows: Duane Bardole, Ruth Barkley, Donita Campbell, Robert Carlson, Robert Ditzel, Dean Hass, Delbert Hillrner, Donita Kruskop, Betty McMeekin, Alan Matthias, Eldon Mayo, Helen Meyer, Donald Nehman, Delmar Scharn, Dick Schultz, Bonnie Rae Schwartz, Hilbert Schramm, Wilbert Siemering, Donald Subbert, and Twyla Pelley. Of the original twenty-five in the first grade there are nine of us that have been together all twelve years. They areg. Duane Bardole, Donita Campbell, Dean Hass, Donita Kruskop, Eldon Mayo, Delmar Scharn, Dick Schultz, Bonnie Rae Schwartz, and Twyla Pelley. Now we all bid our farewell to good old Lytton High. We have completed the twelve steps to the ladder. For some there will be more steps. We sincerely hope our future will be as bright and happy as our school days have been. Class Poem 'Tis the end of 1950, And the Senior Class will close. But still we have our memories, Ot all our joys and woes. Today is but the time, We dreamed of long ago. During those long school days When time passed, oh, so snow. Tomorrow is the time, We're dreaming of right now. Who may say what each will do, And where we'll go and how? We come to the end of high school days, And as we finish this last year. We thank all those who helped us through, And Dia farewell to friends so dear. - 13 1950 Class Prophecy In the year 1915 Ruth Barkley and myself decided to make an airplane flight around the country. Neither of us had seen our former classmates for quite sometime. We had our own plane so we could stop and start as we pleased. We first started west. Our first stop was in Platte, Nebraska. We noticed a foot-long hot dog shop which attracted us so, in we went and to our amazement saw Donald Subbert head of the place. Right behind him were six little girls. He said they were his, and his wife was the former Marilyn Phelps. We spent several hours with them, then started on for Denver, Colorado. As we got out and started walking down the street all at once we saw a dog, then a woman running wildly after the dog. She not noticing us ran smack into us, and we all three were lying flat on the street. I looked, and thought it wasn't true, but yes, it was Bonnie Schwartz who later told us she and Gene Kelley had married seven years ago. Our next stop was at Reno, Nevada, where we decided to stop purely for curious- ity's sake. We were met down town by the former Donita Campbell who was in tears telling of how she was going to get a divorce from Gene. She said sadly he had a dairy herd and had a habit of keeping a favorite cow in the house. She said every morning he woke her up by getting the cow in there and squirting milk in her face. After a little consideration, we got her to go back and give it another try, We decided to hit a dance spot before we left Reno, so we chose the Ritz which had a special attraction that evening. As we sat at our table the spotlight turned and who should be the attraction but Helen Meyer and Wilbert Siemmering who were pro- fessional jitter-buggers, Afterwards they told us they were married and had three kids. Our next stop was Boise, Idaho. There we decided we just had to have a drink so we went in Barney's Bar. ln there they told us Barney was frantic because he wasn't making any money. Then they told us why. They said, he buys the beer to sell, but drinks it all before he gets around to sell it. We talked to Barney for several hours. The smell of the place and Barney's breath was so strong we both staggered out. Next down the street came a poorly dressed, unshaved man yelling pencils for sale. It was none other than Hilbert Schrarnn. We then walked by a house we thought to be a day nursery because there were quite a few children playing in the yard. We went to the door and it was Mr. and Mrs. Duane Bardole, Duane and the former Betty McMeekin. The children they told us were all theirs --5 Qand Mr. Smith told us once the birth rate was lowerj ,...... . Our next stop was Spokane, Washington. All over we saw posters advertising a carnival. After a short debate we decided to go. When we arrived, we paid our taxi fare and began to stroll down midway. We heard an awful noise. Being curious we began to investigate or in other words, find the source of this awful noise. Being some distance from the noise we saw people gathering at a very large tent. Out in front our attention was called to ten beautiful dancing girls. Finding the cost to enter, being much too expensive, we went around to the side of the tent. Seeing an opening, we began to crawl through. We got through all right and when we looked up, we saw a policeman standing there. It was none other than our old classmate Bob Carlson. Being as he didn't recognize us at first, he said we had to come with him to- the manager. We followed Bob behind the curtain and when we got back there we saw some of the girls getting ready for the first inside act. 14 The first girl we talked to we recognized immediately as our former classmate Twyla Pelley, She said she did the first act which was a bubble dance by herself. As Bob became very irritated we proceeded to the manager's office. When we got there he told us to wait outside while he told the manager we were there. We opened the door and walked in and to our amazement it was none other than our former classrnate and Senior graduate of 1950, Bob Ditzel. We had a long chat with Bob about old times and high school days. He told us how he got to be manager of the show, and how he enjoyed the job. He also told us that his star of the show, Twyla Pelley, was also his wife. After seeing Twyla's performance, we left to look over some more of the carnival. On down midway we saw another huge tent. We asked a fellow what that tent was for. He said they trained lions in there. We strolled down there and who was in the ring with a huge lion but Dick Schultz. After about ten minutes he finally came out. When he saw us he came over to us. We asked him if he weren't afraid of this large creature. He said, No, the lion's blind, has no teeth, and has lost all his claws. That brave boyff Next we went to Sacramento, California. We decided to go to a baseball game. All the players were out warming up when we thought we saw a familiar face. Who was it but Buck Hass playing in the Major League. We always thought he would be a great player someday. Then we noticed a sign, water boy on the back of his shirt. He did just about make itfff We thought this was a big enough blow for one day so we went on down to Texas. As we strolled the streets of Houston we saw a Pontiac convertible come cruising down the street, and on our side of the car we noticed a beautiful redhead. Then as the driver pulled to the curb we saw that it was none other than Don Nehrnan. After talking to him a while we found that he found a gold mine and now owns four 1975 Pontiac convertibles. He says he has a girl for every car with hair to match the paint of the car. Don't we all wish we were rich? ? ? From there we went to Galveston where we hired a taxi again. As we drove by a schoolhouse we saw flames coming out of the window. We stopped and investiga- ted. They told us the chemistry teacher had had an explosion and he got scared and ran instead of putting water on it. Who do you think that chemistry teacher was? ? ? You guessed it --- Eldon Mayo --- After the firexnen finished putting the fire out they began climbing out the window. One fireman took a step and for some reason fell flat on his face. Oh, he -was mud from head to foot and out cold. When we be- gan to help him up it was none other than Alan Matthias who said he'd4been blowing out fires for ten years. We decided to make one more stop before returning home so we decided to make it Worthington, Kansas. We thought we would like to visit someplace of interest so seeing a bunch of large buildings we went up and who met us but Donita Kruskop. She told us it was the Old Maid's Home and she was in charge. We thought, Oh, no, this couldn't happen to Donita. Why didn't she find a man.? Later she told us she was married to a cow puncher and had two little boys that she named Rog and Ray after her two favorite teachers. This being the last of our old classmates we decided to make our last hop home. We were happy to have seen them all, but happier still to be home. Delbert Hillmer Ruth Barkley 15 Class Will The members oi the Senior Class of Lytton High School, being of unsound mind and of weak heart, having just about completed the trials and tribulations of our high school days, and about to verge into the unknown, do make, publish and declare this our last will and testimony, hereby revoking any wills made by us at any other time we have chanced to be in our right minds.

X1 WAND 25, A 3 A PFW 7 aw 'ysja Skip - Day On Monday, April 10th, we Seniors got up bright and early so we could leave for Omaha. When we finally were ready to leave, it was a little after 6:00 a.m. We took five cars which were driven by: Steve Wieland, Don Hutchinson, Gene Carter, Wilbert Siemering, and Don Nehman. We met at the School of the Deaf at 9:30 and all went through it together on a guided tour. We visited their primary classes, dining rooms, dormitories, work shops, gym., Home Ec. Room, and printing press which was all very interesting. It is remarkable what they can teach those little deaf children to do. Next, Steve told us we would go to Boys' Town to eat, as it was nearly noon. After eating we went through all of the buildings, and saw their work shops, new field house, dairy farms, and beautiful chapel. We also saw Father Flanagen's tomb as well as many other interesting things. Then we were free to do whatever we wanted until 6:30 p.m. Some went shop- ping and some went to the television studio and many other things. Because of the cold weather, we decided to start for home instead of visiting the Joselyn Memorial. ' We arrived home at various times but all were safe and we all had a wonderful day, Jr. Es' Sr. Banquet On the evening of April 18th, the Juniors entertained the Seniors at a banquet held in the gymnasium. The theme was Moonlight and Roses and the gym was decorated like a garden with an old-fashioned wishing well, a bubbling fountain, rose trellis, and flowers. The menu consisted of a cocktail, mashed potatoes and gravy, steak, peas, bis- cuits and butter, salad, relish, coffee, and whipped jello and cookies. The program: consisted of Dwight Nielsen as toastxnaster, Darlene Meyer gave the welcome, Dean Hass gave the response, the Boys' Quartet-Eldon Mayo, Dick Schultz, Alan Matthias, and Duane Bardole-sang a few selections, Mr. Wieland gave a short address, JoAnn Denise sang a selection, Janine Guess played a number on her accordion, and Richard Baskerville sang the song, Moonlight and Roses. The head waiter and waitress were Dale Lake and Barbara Kelley. The other waiters and waitresses were Walter Huster, Bob Kelly, Dale Schramm, Ann Linquist, Elizabeth Nielsen, and Francis Guill. The banquet was very beautiful. It will be long remembered by those who at- tended. May Breakfast On May 7, 1950, at 6:00 A.M., a group of sleepy-eyed people -- the Juniors, the Seniors, and the faculty -- gathered at the Sac City Shelter House for the annual May breakfast. Of course the Seniors went earlier because we were the cooksfff The breakfast consisted of scrambled eggs, fried ham, bread, butter, potato chips, rolls, orange juice, milk, and coffee. It was a very delicious breakfast, l'm sure, for everyone went home with that filled-up feeling. 26 Homecoming On December 16, 1949, an eventful evening took place, as the Lytton Bulldog s met the Early cagers for the big homecoming game. The girls had a little tough luck and came out on the short end of the score which was 30-Z7 in favor of Early when the final whistle blew. The boys came through with another win by defeating Early 41-37. Both were very good games to watch. For the girls' game, Betty Mclvleekin and Donita Campbell were co-captains. They fixed up a cute little uniform for Mickey Blake who was their mascot for the night. The main feature of the evening was during the half of the boys' game when Dean Hass, the captain of the team, crowned Donita lTwistyl Kurskop, Homecom- ing Queen. Her attendants were Roselyn Schwartz, Janine Guess, Anne Rolfing and Claudia Ringgenberg. After the game there was a program which consisted of Walter Huster and Eldon Richards singing and doing actions to the I-lucklebuck , Darlene Meyer gave a reading. Then there was a chorus composed of Lorraine Hillmer, Marceyln Ditzel, Elizabeth Nielsen, Ellen Huster, and Carol Pals. All wore pastel colored formals which made a very pretty background while Richard Baskerville sang A Dreamer's Holiday . The Boys' Quartet sang a few selec- tions and the rest of the evening was spent in dancing. The event was well at- tended by the alumni. Parties During the year there have been several very nice parties. First was the party when the F.H.A. girls installed their officers. They had the installation ceremony first and then a dance afterwards. Next was the Christmas Caroling Party put on by the F.H.A. girls. The group of people went out and sang Christrnas carols at different hous- es in Lytton and then came back to the school- house for games and lunch. On January 7th, the F.F,A. boys held their annual Sweetheart Party in the gymnasium, Roselyn Schwartz, Ann Ditzel, Anne Rolhfing, Claudia Ringgenburg, and Darlene Meyer were the five candidates. Claudia received the beau- tiful white F.F.A. Sweetheart jacket. In February, the F.H.A, girls sponsored a semi-formal Valentine Party. The gymnasium was decorated very pretty.. There was a large crowd and they had good entertainment and lunch. The last big party of the year was spon- sored by the Junior class on April 19th, the night after the Junior-Senior Banquet. All the high schools around Lytton were invited to attend. There was a huge crowd. The Juniors used the banquet dec- orations which made the gymnasium very beautiful for the party. Everyone had lots of fun and met many new friends. Z7 Sophomore Home Ec. Class of '48. 7. Everybody's happy. What are you doing, Sugar? ? 7 8. Hi thereff lA.R.j Wowffff 9.

Mr. Wallace selected the Boys' Quartet and the Girls' Sextete. They both sang at various different programs at the school as well as at various community pro- grams. A Christrnas Musical was presented on Monday night, December 19th, to the night school classes and the public. The program consisted of four parts with Kay I-Ieflin as narrator. The Mixed Chorus opened the evening's entertainment with the singing of Joy to the World . This followed with numbers by the first to sixth grades, both girls' and boys' glee clubs, the sextet, and community singing which was very well responded to.

During the summer the Band played concerts in l..yt1:on, played for the Sac County Fair, and throughout the year they played several short concerts for indi- vidual persons and businesses. This fall we began by having marching band. Our first performance as a marching unit was at Ida Grove, for their annual Pop Corn Da.y celebration. In the late fall we started concert band preparing for the music festival and clinic held in Rockwell City. Then came our Home Concert, prior to and in preparation for the music contests.
