A GLIMPSE AT THE STAFF The pop of chewing gum, the anguished wail of a thwarted copy writer, the continual chatter of the typewriter, and other similar noises denote the fact that the Post Script staff has its nose to the grindstone again. Between Iohnnie's flashing in and out of C12 with his precious camera and someone gossiping about someone else and the continual warfare waged between the two ado- the school that we don't know, now that We have pooled our knowledge. In spite of the sound of it, we really worked hard to make this year's annual the best yet. Not only that-we can point with pride to the ef- ficiency of our sales staff. They set quite a rec- ord with 560 advance sales for this year. lescent members of the staff, Iohnnie and Sparky, we finally got the 1945 Post Script finished. lt is the opinion of the editorial staff and Mr. Davis that there is absolutely nothing about anyone in And now, we the staff, present this little book of memories to you, the student body. We only hope you enjoy reading it half as much as we have enjoyed making it.

But our class began some years back in the ninth grade, That was the year that we really began to know each other and as the year progressed, we began to do things together, We elected Bobbie Ginter and Willard Shaw as our co-presidents to guide our wayward steps throughout the year. We also had a hand in the operetta, The Gypsy Troubador, the one acts, the spring play, Sing a Song of Sixteen, and practically all of us enjoyed Curtain Raisers. Even then athletics was a main spring in the school activities and we left Iunior High with an undefeated, untied, and unscored- upon football record. Then on to the mystery of the reknowned Senior High! Although we were very green We were Well represented in the plays, athletics, and Rose Window, and we enjoyed the Weekly Pebbles. Both of these latter features were later stopped due to the war. Gaining more importance as the year rolled on, we became juniors and elected Willard Shaw, president: Darrell Dunham, vice-president: and Mildred Pell, sec.-treasurer. Aided by our class sponsor Coach Kenneth Cook, we raised money for the Iunior-Senior Reception by selling tickets to the all-school play, The Fighting Littles. Due to floods we were forced to hold our prom at the Coliseum Where it proved successful in spite of the watery difficulties. Again our athletes helped to win many victories which brought about an undefeated football record and made M. H. S. winner of the Central Iowa Conference. But time goes on and soon we were the seniors. To lead us through the future year we elected Dave Meltvedt, president: Stan Olson, vice-president, and Betty Smith, sec-treas- urer: and Willard Shaw, president of the Student Senate. The dramatic club, The Mask and Dagger was organized and again we participated in plays and musicals. Bobbie Ginter reigned as Homecoming Queen and the football season ended in glorious victory. Then came basketball and our team won the Central Iowa Conference. Yes, the Bobcats will always be remembered. Then came the rush! Senior pictures, announcements, the class project, the Iunior-Senior Reception, the Senior Assembly, and all the rest of the busy activi- ties that seniors look forward to, On the evening of May 20 at the First Methodist Church, Baccalaureate services were held and Bev. Pieter Smit gave the address. Then, on May 24, 1945 with Dr. C. C. Bacon of the Methodist Church in Des Moines to give the graduates a parting thought, 161 students received their diplomas.

Due to war priorities, it was not possible to purchase the scoreboard at that time. In order to buy this expensive project, the senior class sold tickets to two shows, Keep Your Powder Dry, and Between Two Women. LIST 1. 6.

They are seniors this year. and we, for the last three years, have been getting them nicely confused since they are identical. Next to them are the Sloans, Chuck and Bob fmore seniorsl. The former being noted for his trumpet playing and Bob for his work with radio. lean and Iune Steward, another set of seniors, who work part time on the vocational program, are almost identical except that lean is blonde while Iune is dark. Tom Watson, well known for his humorous but brief talks in speech class, dashes through the door at 3.29 like Buck Rogers in his rocket ship. Ted, his shorter brother, takes vocational machine shop and sprints out the door at a speed only exceeded by that of his brother. Roger Finch, a letter winner in football, was a great asset to the team, His almost identical twin, Richard, was not on the first team, but a willing worker. Gene and Dean Olson, like the Finch Boys, are Iuniors. Gene has been a manager tor athletics for the last two years. PeeWee his little brother always has a smile on his face. The Van de Pols are new to Marshalltown this year, having just moved here from Eldon, Iowa, so they are not noted for any special antics-yet! They are the only set of Sophomore twins. The petite Petersons. Gladys and Mildred, are so much alike that Gladys should carry her clarinet all of the time to save embarrassment. They add a sunny note on the darkest day with their sparkling smiles. - Page Twenty-eight A GE T II V II T II IE S Y Front row: Will Shaw, pres., Miriam Winslow, Ellzabeth Wester, Audrey Pepper, Marilyn Wilcox, Ioan Beeks, Barbara Ginter.

With Willard Shaw as president, Darrell Dunham as vice-president, and Bobbie Ginter as secretary-treasurer, the Senate helped to keep the schocl activities running smoothly and decided the many problems which arose during the scholastic year. Ccmmi tees composed ot members ol the Student Senate were chosen to help plan the a ssemblies, activities, and dances during the school year. Horrecoming was one ot the main events of the year and with the help of other clubs, the Student Senate planned cnd carried out this testivity successfully. The Student Senate kept the Show Your Colors Day tradition, added names to the service board, and decided upon the basketball game between North Des Moines and The Bobcats to raise funds for athletics.

Members of the Pep club enjoy that wonderful privilege of a claim to a reserved seat at all games. Always in the middle section of the bleachers the girls decked out in their gay red cmd blue pep jackets carry out their chief duty' that of backing up the cheerleaders in their yells. 1945 officers of Pep Club are: Sec., Barbara Robertson: V. Pres., Beverly Pfiefer: Co-Pres., Barbara Ginter. Virginia Hiatt is the absent Co-Pres. Even though M.H.S. has no gir1's basketball team nor any feminine gridders. the girls need not feel envious of the athletic letters worn by the masuline members of their Class. If a girl Wants an M and has no claim on a member of M club, she joins G.A.A., the girls athletic club of M.H.S., and participates in the various activities offered to its members. The 1945 G.A.A. had quite a successful year both financially and socially. Heading the list of social affairs was a banquet and carnival held in the school cafeteria and gym at which a hilarious evening of fun and entertainment wa s enjoyed by all of its members. mme... Many football and basketball fans would have been disappointed if G.A.A. had not been so reliable at the games. They were always there with nourishment in some form or flavor to supply fuel for the energy it takes to cheer our team to victory. G.A.A. takes the credit for decorating the field, bleachers, and throne for the Homecoming game. ln one of their generous moods they bought jumping ropes for the gym classes. The girls earned points toward a letter by playing in the different tournaments held in! the morning before school throughout the school year. Only five girls received letters this year. Betty Bousum earned a small letter by accumulating the necessary 600 points. Four girls passed the 900 point goal and were awarded large letters. These girls were Mildred Pell, Mary Grimes, Betty Kimmel, and Colleen Dann. Colleen went further still and as a result of her 1,800 points received a pin. 1945 officers of G.A.A. were Annette Nicoloff, Treasurer: Pat Duncan, Secretary: Mary Grimes, President, and Marlene Eaton, Vice-President. cwevsrm-sQssw.mM.e- Y- -f-'11, .. . mvwwewwwefmzemmwtxfwvemxxnwwssmwwmsmarwMimmesa .msuxarwr r ' .NM eww SUPHUMURE G.

All work and no play makes lack a dull boy. So the saying goes, and it is apparent that these gals are firm supporters of those ancient words of wisdom, for a glance at their calendar of the year's event displays the fact that it's no fault of the club if there are any dull Iills wandering around. Their social events included a theatre party, a valentine dance at which Mariann Seim and Iames Slate were crowned King and Queen of Hearts, and a Christmas party for which Carl- strom Brown's orchestra was engaged to provide the music for the girls' and their guests' entertainment. The cold nose of a horse, the wavering climb to the hay loft and unfamiliar territory lent a territically ghostly touch to the horror house through which blind- folded guests were led at their Hal- 1owe'en party held at the Brintnall farm. To help finance these parties, the girls sponsored the sale ot tickets to a movie at one of the local theaters. Book reviews, various discussions, a gym night, a swimming party, and a forum filled in the rest of the Tues- days oi the school year. SUPHUMURE HI-Y Left to right: Glen Sharp, Pres.: lack Berger, Sec.-Treas.: Paul Adams, V- Pres. if 5 iii' Monday nights throughout the year, the G. Y. held its weekly meetings. The girls had worked all summer at the canteen at the City Park to raise money for the school year activities. The Prison Prom was the first dance of the year sponsored by the G. Y. It started the school year festivities on September B. Freshmen girls acted as matrons and freshmen boys acted as guards. G. Y. was led by president Mildred Pell, vice-president Mar- tha Marshall, secretary Pat Dann, and treasurer Ann Bee-se. Y' With the aid of the council, they planned the year's activities. Miss Hall was the club's advisor. The annual Christmas formal, Holiday Interlude, was held at the Tallcorn Hotel, December 27, and was the highlight of the G. Y. year. Arney Lidell and his band were the attraction of the evening. Ninety girls make up the club's membership and helped to make the Sweetheart Swirl, the Dad and Daughter Bean Feed, the Ma and Me Pie Party, the Mother's Day Tea, The Last Fling and other activities success- ful. WHAT EUE5 UN Page Thirty5four The Y' continued to be the hang out for all of us this year. It sheltered the Target Club, whose grand opening was February 16. Co-presidents Marilyn Kendall and Iim Reaugh headed the council consisting of Mary Shaw, Barbara Robertson, Lillian Bushina, June Boag, Avonelle Tye, Harold Batesole, Paul Kepke, Burton Adkins, and Don Abney. Senior Hi-Y also, very conveniently, held their weekly meeting on Monday night. President Norris Gould, vice-president Iim Reaugh, secretary Cecil McMahon, and treasurer Harold Bate- sole presided over the club. At the semester, secretary Cecil McMahon was called to the Army and Paul Tjossem took over his office. The jul-re box was the main attraction of the Target Club. The nickels, dimes, and a iew wayward quarters fur- nished music ior every moodff dancing or otherwise. The membership of Senior Hi-Y is approximately forty boys. Although the services have taken many oi the members, the club is active and progressive. Mr. George Williams is the advisor. The telephone at the Y. M, C. A. is used ex- tensively by all. Right at the moment the Phone at the Tremont must be out oi order. A T T HE ' ' ' ' Page Thirtyeiive I, ,ef-4 'fi Q. A A W PUSTSERIPT ASSEMBLY Here Comes That Book Again and there goes the theme song of the better than ever Post Script assembly. We're on the air! Everyone quiet! And so began the famous Post Script radio show, given through the courtesy of station M.H.S. and sponsored by the High School Brothers. Announcer Bob Morgan opened this annual assembly with a hep sales talk and introduced the stars of the show, Iimmy Reaugh and his M.H.S. Band, to the radio audi- ence Cstudent bodyl, Acting as Master of Ceremonies, Iim Reaugh chose six ushers to go down among the radio audience and pick six likely-looking contestants, who vainly strove to answer the questions thrown at them during the course of the show. To add to the humor of the show a few consequences were graciously handed out to the unsuspecting con- testants. The judges of the contest were three black-robed dunces. Numerous famed entertainers honored the show with their appearances, namely the Voice himself. Frank Sinatra, crooningly portrayed by Ierry Gregson, who favored us with his own rendition of I'm Beginning to See The Light. Sweet Georgia Carrol, who else but Pixie Kenda1l?, stirred even the hardest of hearts with her This Heart of Mine. Not to be forgotten was that famous celebrity, the great dead-pan, Virginia O'brien, impersonated to the oomph degree by Mary Grimes tcenterl. One of the best acts was that of Iim Varnum as the incomparable Ishkabibble, which included not only the combined wit and stupidity cf this character, but also the famed porridge bowl hair cut, His lovely companion, dainty Lloyd Miller, was becomingly attired in a bright red skirt and sweater with a red beret perched on top of a glamorous white shoulder-lengtth floor mop! CYou can see them in upper left hand pic- ture.l Another featured entertainer was that rollicking Button Hutton, who tripped gaily through a dance-routine and who looked amazingly like our own Bobbie Ginter. In addition to all these refreshing artists and to bring us back to the main idea of the assembly, that of selling Post Script, more talent was shown by the clever commercials scattered throughout the script. We never knew we had such beauties as the little French mademoiselle Mibsy Pell, the gay Spanish senorita, Iackie Landis, the dignity and grace of Roman Pat Dann, and the natural and attractive American Barb Bates. Each of these representatives told us, in their native language their ideas about Post Szript, The Brennecke twins harmonized on a snappy little number called My Mother Gave Me a Nickel, and lanky Darrell Dunham and pretty Nadine Ieffers favored us with that well-known singing-commercial I'm All Dressed Up. CLower left and lower right picturesl. All in all it was an hour of fun and music and the band kept everyone in that gee, I'm glad I'm here spirit. Even Harry Iames tChuck Sloanl tooted out a number and the solid beat finally got the best of a couple of hep cats and they were forced to jive it out on the stage. And after the fun and frolic our Master of Ceremonies lim Reaugh gave an invigorating sales talk that galvan- ized practically the whole school into buying a Post Script. Page Thirty six 8 Q... ,uv 2 'T' , pf' .J UTHER ASSEMBLIES What's the next assembly? That question was one of the more familiar sayings around M. H. S. Assemblies through- out the year gave pleasant diversion to class work. I The first of these pleasant pastimes was the annual sales promotion assembly on the behalf of the school-wide activity ticket. The student presidents of organizations in school and at the Y were the speakers. Next on the program was the United Nations Assembly sponsored by the G. Y. Several G. Y. girls donned the tra- ditional costumes of the United Nations and took their turn on the stage while a narrator described their nationality and dress. Movies for the first semester assemblies included Frank Buck's Iungle Cavalcade. Football Thrills of 1943. and Ice Carnical, the first of these was the only full length movie. The Lewis Players Cupper centerl entertained us next with their play about the F. B. I. in connection with the war. Hero of the play was Will Shaw of M. H. S. And then came our annual Homecoming assembly. Big Burt Adkins as Little Red Riding Hood Cteaml, Leroy Rhode as the wolf Cdefeatl, Dave Meltvedt as the Grandmother lvictoryl, Bob McKibben as the mother thigh schooll, and the rest of our hard-hitting football team as the wood choppers, character- ized a little skit Clower centerl that was a sight to behold, All played their parts dramatically superb C?l but the poor wolf seemed to have a little difficulty keeping his skin on Cin more ways than onel. W. N, Whitehill tupper rightl also took part in the assembly-theme Football Yesterday and Today. The Glee Club gave a musical skit on the trials and tribu- lations of a Grasshopper. Then to end our unsurpassed foot- ball year, the assembly of awarding football letters came. CUpper leftl. Page Thirty-seven First semester and its assemblies were soon over and, be- fore we knew it, it was second semester. Dr, Watson's Art Slides started this semester's assembly program. Paintings by great artists of and before our time were shown. Otto Schact flower right? came this year for his fourth per- formance here. He sang On the Road to Mandalay by special request of our football team. The program ended in silence after Mr. Schact sang The Lord's Prayer. Next came the entertaining and delightful Post Script as- sembly described on the opposite page. Two full-length movies, Abe Lincoln in Illinois and 39 Steps were shown for the next two assemblies. Then Iris Ieannette and her accordion flower leltl furnished us with entertainment. Her piano accompanist also played some numbers for us. Basketball had drawn to a close by this time and the an- ual Basketball Letter Awarding Assembly was held. The string trio played and Coach Wilson told about the outstand- ing players of the year's games. lim Reaugh and Darrell Dunham were announced as co-captains. As an assembly to show our own talented students, Sloan's Band gave a program we were all sorry to see end. His songs echoed the halls all the rest of that day. The Iunior High School Band gave their traditional assembly on May 4. For years the Senior High Band and Iunior High Band have exchanged days to play for each other's school Next the great Laubins came. These Indian Dancers gave an assembly program different from what we have ever seen before, for their dancing and costumes were extraordinary. At last it was time for the Senior Assembly and all seniors realized the year was at an end. The class will was read and then it was goodbye to a year of pleasant memories. !9'6' 444 POQ Q44 Q44- if' tiygf sg, SEHUUI. PLAYS June Mad a sparkling comedy of modern youth was the rare thing-a family play written simply, yet with both humor and insight, so that it had audience appeal for all ages. The story pre- sented the problems vital to youth in an intelligent and sympathetic manner, making it of great value to the director who demands a high standard of literary and artistic excellence. The story con- cernedy Penny Wood and Chuck Harris, the boy next door, as they went about the frequently diffi- cult, but always amusing business of growing up. When Penny's Uncle Mervyn, only five years old- er than she brought Roger Van Vleck, a senior and akiller-diller, home from college, she forgot to be a man-hater and succumbed to an attack of calf love which was ten degrees worse than measles. In her efforts to make herself attractive to the fascinating Roger, she almost disrupted two families, but the discovery that Roger was double- crossing Mervyn by trying to steal his girl, brought her back to normal, and, incidentally to Chuck.

Five ladies from Shake- speare's plays went to Iuliet to tell her the ad- vantages and disadvantages in married life. The sparkling conversations and the quotations from other Shakespeare plays added zest to the per- formance.

YQ.-.N SCHUUL LIFE It's the half-the boys have been playing a grand game and the crowd is hoarse from cheer- ing and that won't do at all, for there still remains thirty minutes of play and so thirty more minutes of cheering is expected of this excited assembly of basketball fans. The remedy-G. A. A. and their pop stand behind the bleachers. Yes, G. A. A. is on the job whether it is basketball games and pop or football games and apples. They even throw in a little variety sometimes in the form of such revivers as hot dogs and candy bars . . .

Latin students Avonelle Tye, Marilyn Wilcox, and Gene Oehl- berg lend a little of the present to the past as they pose with a part of Miss Shear's collection of projects based on Roman life of Caesar's time. These projects are usually optional and thus show the interest of the students. Many of the pictures in this book have been taken of performers on the auditorium stage, and so this time Iohnnie took the camera backstage and the result was a picture of the student body, the best of audiences we have often been told. Here they are singing On M. H. S. at a pep assembly. Here are some of those cheering basketball fans in high spirits for the victory is practically ours.

Their opponentse--Eldora Training School. Page Forty-four Co-Captain Willard Shaw Page BIIBIIATS WED MISS VICTORY At the close of the Bobcats' great state cham- pionship football season in 1943 it was generally predicted that a few hundred moons would pass before M.H.S. would produce another team that would be wholly justified in treading on the same hallowed gridiron ground. However, the 1944 season was hardly a sprout when it became ob- vious that another potential championship team was on our happy hands. Although only four regulars and two 'other lettermen were available from that honored and highly respected '43 gang of tough genlemen, our 1944 Bobcats proved to have most emphatic win- ning ways. They went through, around, and over all opponents in spectacular fashion for nine more successive victories. Thereby running the M.H.S. football victory string to 19 straight. They recorded 298 points and permitted the opposition to total Co-Captain Burton Adkins only 21. They are undisputed Central Iowa Con- ference Champs, and are considered the state champs since no other large Iowa high school had such an impressive and decisive record.

Shaw was named on both all state first teams and was labeled the greatest Iowa high school halfback this year and of any previ- ous year as far back as anyone can remember. He did everything that the game of football re- quired and did it the best. Burton Adkins, senior, tackle, was the other co-captain and was also named on the all state first teams. Burly Burt i206 lbs.i made holes, filled holes and threw his weight around in a surpris- ingly nimble manner. To say his presence was felt is a gross understatement. Cy McMahon, senior, end, without a doubt the best wingman in these parts, One newspaper put him on the second all state team another placed him on the third. To be on any all state team is quite an honor: but, We know he rated the high- est position. Silent Cy is a man of action. David Meltvedt, modest but mighty, senior, half- back, was responsible for much of the team's success. It just would not have been the team it was without him. Fast, smart, alert, rugged are nice adjectives: but, they are just not good enough for Davey. Don Abney, junior, end, Able Abney they called him, but he was more than that. No op- ponent ever got the better of Don. If he could not Forty-five knock 'em down, he Would wear 'em down. Abney could not lift a Walking plow by the han- dles: but, he is the kind of guy that would break the handles off trying, Harold Batesole, junior, fullback, Barrelhouse Batesole rolled along, bucked and Wobbled his mighty, merry and elusive way for yards and more yards. Batesole loves to play football so much that the coach hardly had the heart to take him out of a game. LeRoy Rohde, junior, guard, probably improved his skill as a football player more than anyone during the season. His presence on the team and the squad was a helpful unifying factor. Bill Etter, junior, guard, was one of the most precise and determined members of the team. Earnest Bill Etter can best be described as quiet dynamite. Roger Finch, junior, tackle, met the require- ments of a good tackle: crash, smash, rough- house, knock 'em down action. Roger couldn't wait to get started and didn't want to stop. Roger Hilderbrand, junior, end, probably used more energy and displayed more all inclusive body action than any football player seen all year. Hildy simply wrapped his opponents with arms and legs, and bruised everyone in the vicinity in the process. Bob McKibbin, sophomore, quarterback, was one of the most pleasant surprises of the '44 team. Whether blocking, tackling, or carrying the ball, Big Bob ran the opposition down to the ground. Richard Meltvedt, junior, end, quarterback and halfback. Dick actually played three positions in one game, and handled them all exceptionally well. He was the surest and the most vicious tackler seen all year. Bill Kjormoe, sophomore, played either guard position. He was the third guard on the first team. Bill played a fast, rugged efficient game. Other lettermen were Dick Dawson, Charles Mellows, Norris Gould, and Stan Olson. HUMECUMING1944 Ever since Eve there has been a November third, but not on every November third has there been an event like our Homecoming. lt was one of the highlights of our senior year. The Homecoming assembly started the annual celebration. Heroes of the gridiron dramatically f?l portrayed the characters in the skit Little Red-Riding Hood, It was no easy task for members of the burly football team to become the sick, feeble grandmother, the fond and kind mother, and dainty, skipping Little Red-Riding Hood, who picked flowers along the woodland path. However. the part of the wolf took very little acting. After this uproarious performance, W. N. Whitehill, former M. H. S. football star, brought things back to normal by an interesting speech, telling of football of his day and praising our team of today. lt rained and rained on our eventful day, but this didn't stop the annual bonfire or our parade through Main Street. Instead of burning the noecious paper, a dummy, representing a Cedar Rapids, Franklin, player was made by Hi-Y and this was burned amid cruel shouts and cheers of the bloodthirsty students. Then on with the traditional pep parade through Main Street. The Pep Band and Cheerleaders, riding on a truck, led the milling throng through the downpour. Secondary only to the game was the crowning of the Homecoming queen. Weeks before the famous November third the Bobcats had nominated their favorites for queen and after much dis- cussion, the ballots were counted and the queen was decided. At the half of the victorious game, the five excited nominees, all Wearing the traditional fur chubbies, and after a ride around the field in a black convertible, were ushered to the throne by the cheerleaders, who pinned big yellow 'Mums on them. Then, as Mayor Hull took the stand, the crowd hushed and Barbara Ginter was crowned Queen of the Homecoming Festivities. In the picture, the queen and her at- tendants are, from left to right: Viola Van de Woestyne, Donna Stevens, Barbara Ginter, Bar- bara Bates, and Iackie Landis. The Bobcats won our Homecoming game 38 to O over Franklin High of Cedar Rapids and a happy crowd of Bobcat fans came out of the gates at Franklin Field. The Homecoming Dance was held at the Coliseum after the game. We danced to the music of lim Crosby and his band, admired the queen and her attendants, and went home happy, but a little sorry it was all over. Page Fort X ,qi 30 CUNFERENEE CHAMPS At 12 o'clock is senior, lim Reaugh. Little lim, when under great tension, was calm and cool. Many sighs could be heard when one of his beautiful long shots swished through the net. Going clockwise we meet senior, Stan Olson. Ole, small in stature, was the fighting backbone of the Bobcats. He could withstand severe oppostion and come up smiling. Next comes long and lanky Darrell Dunham. Butch, a member of the senior class, was one of the best defensive players M. H. S. has ever seen. You could almost be sure Butch would get that rebound. Norris Gould, a little but mighty senior, always played good basketball. Shorty was the team's cunning player. Don Abney got little chance to play but next year his fighting spirit will be wanted. Still going clockwise we meet another junior, Bill Tank. He played good all around basketball and his height will be welcome next year. Chuck Mellows added more height to the Bobcats. He will be back next year to carry on his good work. Senior David Meltvedt displayed his ability to work the ball in under the basket. You could also depend on Dave to add some extra points. Big and burly Burt Adkins was the Bobcats steady and reliable player. This senior helped to build the teams good morale. Next is the sensational Will Shaw of the senior class. His floor work and guarding made him the main attraction of our team. Coach Gilbert Wilson came to M. H. S. for the first time this year. Always having deep concern lor the team, he made us proud of his coaching.

Yes, those great Ames High Cyclones, those now crowned state champs, blew themselves completely out to the tune of 37 points, while our very own 'Cats turned in a mighty total of 46 commanding counters. It should be clear to all that that game in the little windy school gym tagged the M.H.S. club as one of the best in the entire state. Further, winning 16 out of 18 games for a locally unprecedented percentage record is un- disputed evidence of a team of championship calibre. They did win a championship, too, that of the Central Iowa Conference. A league long recognized as one of the toughest. Co-Captain Iames Reauqh Take a long look at the record, it's a pleasant experience. lt really tells a beautiful story, a story of hard work, thrills and spills, accom- plishment, guidance, worry, fun, victory and success.

A tribute that can be said of Will, is that with him We had a qreat club, without him just another team. ln M.H.S. athletics, GREAT is spelled S-H-A-W. Would that he could linger a little longer here. David Meltvedt, senior, could break faster for the basket than any player seen in these parts all season. Dave was one of the top for- wards in the state in any book worth reading. Darrell Dunham, senior. Spectators looked twice to see Dunham: they had to, to see all of him. Few players could approach him in the all important art of picking the boards clean at either end of the floor. lt's impossible to vis- ualize this honored team without Lank Butch Spider ttake your pickl Dunham in the picture. Burton Adkins, senior. Big Burt was the steady, essential type of ball player. His Page Forty-nine specialty was defensive in manner: but, he also contributed his share of timely scoring. lim Reaugh, senior. Iim counted more last second game saving swishers than any bucket- plunker that we saw or ever heard of. lim was fast, flashy, spectacular and thoroughly in love with the game of basketball. Stanley Olson, senior. Ole was the most im- proved man on the squad. He was a ball han- high calibre sharp- dling specialist, and a shooter. Stan could fit into anybody's prep ball club, and it would be a better team for his presence. Norris Gould, senior. a player of Gould's type and class was avail- able. His presence on the squad and in the line-up was an immeasurable aid. Bill Tank, junior. Tank is the kind of basket- ball player that coaches are always looking for: the type that the opposition always con- siders dangerous. Bill is a smart player and a scorer. Thanks be given that he has still an- other season to further polish that star and ring that ol' victory bell. Don Abney, junior. When, if ever, athletes appear that work harder and fight more, they'll be called ABNEY. Don will throw in the cobs and kick the coal under his star dynamo until it burns a hole through something. Thanks aaain, Don will be coming back. Charles Mellows, junior. Now, Mellows, is a mild sounding name. But, wait a minute, that doesn't describe his athletic prowess. Chuck is quite a customer to contend with. He's had a star, a bell and a ball checked out and has been working on them, but hard. It was fortunate that Other Squad Members LeRoy Rhode Bill Whitehill Harold Batesole Bob Betts Dick Meltvedt Georae Nicoloft lim Spencer Dean McMahon Many of these boys will retum next year, and some of them will certainly help carry the heavy load in 1945-1946. They have had valuable experience this season and some of the glory is theirs. 4 CHURCH LEAGUE Do we have to stay for church? That question is al- ready answered for those budding athletes who like to put in some spare time at the Y gym in competitive basket- ball. Several of the city's churches sponsor basketball teams tor both the boys and the girls and regular at- tendance at the church service is one of the requirements for holding a place on the team. A tournament usually winds up the season. Pictured at the top are the St. Paul's Episcopal boy's team who won the most games during the season and the Congo girls tournament champions.

The M.H.S. ninety-piece band added tivities throughout the year. During the football season this group entertained with music, marching exhibitions, and the baton twirling of the drum major and seven majorettes. With the coming of winter and basket- ball, emphasis was placed on concert numbers and marches to be used at the basketball games. Other activities included an exchana- ing of assemblies with the Iunior High Band, playing at various political cam- paign rallies, marching in the Production and Urgency Day parade, and an all-day music contest held here Friday, March 16, with A.

Contest in which the groups partici- pated Were the district music contest here and the state music contest at Mason City. A band within a band Was the pep band. This was composed of about twenty boys who were the inspiration of the Thursday night pep rallies and who played for many assemblies at the high school. They were particularly impres- sive at the homecoming festivities on November 3. Marlyn Ridout, our director, was a busy man supervising the varied performances of the marching band, the concert band, the pep band, small groups, and soloists.

UREHESTRI-l AND GLEE CLUBS Like the band, the orchestra and glee clubs of M. H. S. gave many performances throughout the year and each group participated in one event, which to them, seemed most outstanding. Probably the most climactic day of all the school year for the members of the orchestra was the memorable day of the Spring Music Festival. All morning they practiced diligently with the guest conductor, Mr. Edgar, from Iowa State at Ames and that night contributed their melodious share of the annual concert. Besides providing the musical part of one of our assemblies, the orchestra also presented an assembly at the Iunior High. The lights were lowered, the curtains drawn, an expectant silence had fallen upon the people assembled in the school auditorium for the annual Christmas Concert presented by the orchestra and glee clubs of M. H. S. The orchestra had opened the program with several selections ap- propriate tothe season and then, down the darkened aisles, the girls of the glee clubs, attired in choir robes and bearing lighted tapers, made their way, their clear young voices blending in the joyous harmonies of the beloved Christmas carol, O Come All Ye Faithful. Clever lighting ef- fects lent an ethereal beauty to the setting and the senior members of the glee clubs again formed the traditional Living Christmas Tree. The pictures below are not representative of all the Glee clubs. To the left is the fifth period boys' glee club and the girls Waiting so intently for the bell are members of the girls' fourth period glee club. Page Fifty-seven VUE!-lL GROUPS AND SULUISTS W-W-gy At the left is our favorite soprano solo- ist, Pixie Kendall. She sang solos tor many occasions this year such as the annual Christmas program, the special memorial assembly for President Boose- velt, and others. M.H.S. is losing a fine musician with her graduation. On the right is the only male soloist lVl.H.S. had this year-Bob Billman. His tine baritone voice has thrilled many a feminine heart. He also sang at the Christmas program, the Fall Concert, and similar occasions. This year's trio tcenterl, composed of Marilyn Kendall, Marlyne Eaton, and lean Robinson, made itself generally popular and well-known by singing not only tor assemblies and other school festivities, but also tor various churches and clubs about town, Since Marilyn and lean are both seniors, Marlyne is going to feel pretty Elnor Hiatt, Virginia Hiatt, Dorothy Cooley, El e a n o r Brennecke, lane Wyckle, and Edith Brennecke tlower left? made up the girl's sextet, They, like the trio. sang tor school programs, churches, and other similar gatherings.

S., To its many battered class rooms, To our famous junior college, Come the I. C. braves and maidens. Come to learn from brilliant Chieftains, From its big chief B. R. Miller, He who keeps us off the war-path Keeps our errant feet from straying-- Lest We stray from paths of learning- Learning gained from many pow-wows Held in many different teepees. When the sun has barely risen, When our eyes are hardly open, Go we forth to learn a language Learn the language of the Spaniard. Go to council with Miss Drury, She who knows the Spanish language. And we learn to speak with gestures. Speak with clearness and distinction, Learn the value of a quick Wit, Learn it all from Princess Bodie. Then the little I. C. students Learn of every bug and insect, Learn to know and to dissect them, Learn it all from Princess Habeger, She who knows of every species. Go we forth to other wigwams, To the Wigwam of Miss Boten, Where we learn of ancient peoples, Of their lives and of their customs. Then we hold another council, Pow-wow with our English teacher, She who teaches us our language, Miss Zorn who helps us with our writing, Too, we learn to solve equations Learn to measure obtuse angles, Learn it all from Princess Torrence, Chief of minute calculations. Lo, we learn of many compounds, Many evil-smelling compounds, How to blow our very brains out, If we fail to heed the warnings- Warnings of our Chieftain Davis. After weary hours of leaming, Hours spent in different wigwams, Go we forth to raise some whoopee- Whoopee made with little Wampum. Go we sliding, go we dancing, Go we forth on many picnics, Whoopee made with but few warriors For the tribes are on the war-path. But the braves will soon make treaties, Treaties made with other warriors. And all will smoke the peace-pipe. Smoke the pipe of peace in plenty, Page Sixty-one Patti Malloy A YEAR AT M. J. C. The Iunior College in 1944-45, though still hampered be- cause of the war, was able to keep going, and morale was high. The first semester started with an enrollment of forty people, but most of the boys had left by the end of the se- mester: Paul Gravatt to the Maritime Service, Walter Van Meter to the Army, and others to industry and business school. Two girls, Margaret Hamer and Helen Price, took advantage of a teacher training program offered by the State Teachers College and went to Cedar Falls at the half, Twenty-six people began the second semester, eighteen freshmen and eight sophomores. Widespread activity was curtailed by the war, but we car- ried on close to home. The first social event of the year was a picnic at the log cabin in the City Park-food fol- lowed by a ball game outside and dancing inside-and dis- cussion of the year to come .... Covered dish supper in the cafeteria .... Scavenger hunt .... Misses Boten and Habeger threw a card party-taught the kids how to play bridge .... Hallowe'en party on the stage of the auditorium-Miss Zorn played spook and sprained her ankle-Miss Habeger showed Kenny how to wear out your partner in a square dance .... Big Christmas party at the Willard home-decorations, favors, placecards all worked out by the IayCees-practically every. body on a committee-food, of course, and entertainment by Miss Kent, violinist, Mrs. Blue, who read a Christmas story, and Roger Roseburrough, our own Piano Master of boogie- woogie and Bach .... Usual sale of Christmas wreaths to brighten doorways and windows- as well as the I C treasury .... Some took part in the annual Christmas con- cert given by the high school music departments. The second semester started off with a coasting party, fol- lowed by chili and crackers at Mr. Davis'-then cards and talk-party given by the teachers as a reward for successful- ly getting through the first half ..,. Then a roller-skating fling at the Forest Park Roller Rink4good cold-weather, in- door sport .... With nice weather came a jaunt to the park for a wiener roast, which ended in a treasure hunt up town .... Plans for the rest of the year included a swimming party at the Y, the annual parents' dinner held in the cafe- teria, and some kind of outing near the end of the year ..,. And of course, for the sophomores, graduation on May twenty-fourth. The play given this year was Pride and Prejudice, by Iane Kendall, adapted from the novel by Iane Austen. The main interest in the play is the efforts of a mother to marry off her five daughters to eligible young men .... The play cast was composed of: Mr. Bennett, Patrick Brady: Mrs. Bennett, Barbara Hall: Iane, Oma Ieanne Winslow: Elizabeth, Patti Malloy: Mary, Margaret Ringold: Catherine, Ioan Bos- well: Lydia, Pauline Steen: Lady Lucas, Dorothy Gard: Charlotte Lucas, Ioyce McClure: Mr. Bingley, Paul Tjossem: Miss Bingley, Clorida Ferguson: Mr. Darcy, Kenneth Hays: Lady Catherine de Bourgh, Arlene Thompson: Hill, Virginia Dillon: Mr. Wickham, Dwayne Rohweder: Mr. Collins, Roger Roseburrough .... Marlys Kline was Student Director. The Lounge was still the favorite gathering place .... studes who went there to study usually ended up listening to the radio .... or playing Roger's records. . . .or entering in a discussion of some current-to-ancient topic, such as men, women, war, airplanes, movies, religion, or people and life in general .... More real studying done in the I C section of S L, where silence was golden or else! .... Library assistants all over the place, helping the eager beavers get their les- sons done .... Dorothy Gard's famous posters on dis- play .... All in all, a year to remember for all the people and things that made it an interesting one. J. E.
