The Homecoming game against West Liberty, and the traditional Armistice Day game with Anamosa brought forth the fruits of victory. Ken Kiburz, captain, received honorable mention on the all-state-team. The lettermen of the 1945 season were as follows: Seniors, Ken Kiburz, Bob Theoni, Dick Skelley, Bob Otten, Gene Kuehlg Juniors, Bob Messerli, Dick Finson, Don Newton, Jim Seehusen, Don Hackbarth, Ron Bensong Sophomores, Dewey Gesie, Bob Lubben, Freshmen, Grant Adamson. Bob Messerli was chosen captain of the 1946 team, and with several lettermen returning next year the pros- pects look bright for a very good season in 1946.

It was rather trying for them to be away from their mothers all day but they soon became used to it. The class included such famous well-loved, well-known personages as Theona Aldrich, Glen Appleby, Delphia Balster, Betty Bartlett, Lois Clark, Colleen Maire, Carleta Morning, Bob Otten, Harry Reade, JoAnn Schneider, Irma Ann Schoon, Clarice Siebels, Bob Thoeni, Louise York, Dick Skelley, and Irma Jean Pic- kett. There they began to learn the great arts of read- ing, writing and arithmetic. Well-it was something anyhow to be able to read and write your name and count to fifty. In second grade they also learned to brush their teeth and all about personal appearances-things long since forgotten. Finally reaching third grade they met a strong do- minanting force, Miss Iverson C 0ld Hickory in per- sonj. Of course they gained knowledge and skill but they learned to obey strict orders. After basic training they moved to fourth grade. Expecting to find a year of leisure they were faced with the great problems of division and multiplication. Not only that but the instructor was a little strict here. For their mothers at Christmas they created beautiful artistic shellaced paper plates. After Christmas the plates were hidden in the attic but they had tried hard. The following year they moved to the fifth grade where they began masterful literary careers by writing poems amd some of them were even put in the Cedar Rapids super. One of the most excellent ones was composed by obby Thoeni. It went like this- My Mother Who is it that's so loving and kind? Who is the one that makes me mind? Who is it that keeps me clean and neat? 'Tis'my mother, true and sweet. One of the most important years in the life of the class of '46 was the last year of being downstairs. Just the thought of going upstairs was enough to pull most of them through. fThe teacher probably had a little part in getting them to work.J Before they knew it seventh grade was upon them and it was rather hard for those inexperienced young child- ren to get settled down in the exciting new world. One of the most bewildering moments was between classes when they went to different rooms and teachers. During eighth grade, Science held many wonders for the group when they studied the human body' and cut up a pig's eye. After finally pulling through t ey began to think they could do anything. The outstanding teacher that year was Miss Marjorie James because she used to read them many interesting stories which they will never forget. They certainly didn't miss music the next year when they became freshmen. It was nice not to be known as a number and to be called freshmen. A whole flock of county students join- ed them that year and really swelled their en ollmient. Those coming in from the country were: Mary sLou Al- lamand, Elinor Bartcls, Lucille Bartels, Elaine Behrends, Lorraine Buol, Carol Caspers, Vivian Englebart, Beverly Harms, Mary Lou Hein, Phillis Heyen, Bill Hintz, Dorothy Jacobs, Ken Kiburz, Gene Kuehl, Paul Ladehoff, Joyce Lange, Helen Mardorf, Betty Lou Null, Phyllis Null, Audrey Oltmann, Rose Shilt, Madge Schneider, Max Schrader and Helen Welter. By that time they were getting into the swing of social and school. life by being ln va lous clubs and being able to stay longer at ifhe school dances. The girls still outnumbered the boys in spite of the new class members from the country. As sophomores they were getting to be old hands in the game but the war had taken two of their class mem- bers, Al Pierce and Carroll Schneider, who joined the navy. Some of the class participated in one act plays and Ken already was a star on the football team. Eleventh grade found them slightly more mature isometimes everyone wonderedl but at least they were up to their necks in work. The Student Council got off to a flying start with Irma Schoon as president and Gene Kuehl and Louise York, who served as secretary, were the class representatives. You Cart Take It With You was presented by the class. It brings back many juicy memories but even so the play was a huge success. Talent really showed up in the Junior-Senior banquet. The theme was a Chinese Nightclub and by the end of the evening some of the bright students were talking Chinese. One of the highlights was Irma Schoon's shiner which she received while helping decorate the community build- ing the night before the big event. Some of the hard working juniors almost made fortunes by selling maga- zines and the party given by the losers was very success- ful. Some people believe in Santa Claus but they really think Dick Skelley played a good St. Nicholas. The pre- sents were very expensive and beautiful-ranging from a penny to a whistle. Dick Skelley, Bob Thoeni, Gene Kuehl, Bob Otten, and Ken Kiburz won letters for being on the football squad, and Frank Fitzsimmons and Ken Kiburz received basketball letters. Bill Hintz earned a track letter. We almost forgot, one of the bright high- lights of the class was the coming of Mr. Eells and those famous flashy ties which helped brighten the junior year. Bob Steiner, Art Bohlken and George Hanssen 'left for service and girls were getting worried with hardly any men left. The last year they were seniors, the best year and yet the most hated one to see go by. This year the Student Council was headed by Gene Kuehl, with Bob Otten, Irma Schoon and Carol Caspers as the class representatives. Ken Kiburz was the football captain this year, and Frank Fitzsimmons and Gaylen Hayen were great stars in the sports field. Margaret Condit finally worked up to be- come editor of Philombnte, and Betty Eggers served as reporter, while Louise York and Audrey Oltmann were typists. The band was supported by many of the seniors and the vocal department overflowed with talented 12th graders. Irma Ann Schoon became the first Homesom- ing Queen, not to mention her being president of M Club. The president of the class was Dick Skelley who had served for two years. We, as the author of this book, decide to at least write Mr. Shannon's name in it for he was around all the time these young students were struggling so hard to get through. As a summary, the Class of '46 did its share to support Monti High. They graduated hoping their fellow schoolmates will have the wonderful times, as well as the hard work that they have had. CLASS OF '46 WILL- We the class of '46 of the Monticello High School, be- ing of unsound mind, poor health, and disposing memory, supersaturated with knowledge, and having hearts over- fiowing with love for our teachers, and a nervous system run down from the many narrow escapes, do make, piiblish and declare this to be our last will and testai- ment--we hopell Whereas-Margaret Condit wills her ability to get her work done and in on time to Leo Moats in hopes that some day he will become a Senior. Therefore-De Loris Dirks gives part of her love to Don Leytem, the other to her Sailor. Whyfore-Marvin .Himebaugh wills his ability to write love letters during class to Duane Slauson. Whyas-Rose Schilt leaves her excess poundage to Bar- bara Chatterton. Nowhere-Theona Aldrich wills her long legs to Susan Stuhler. Hereas-Bob Otten wills his ability to blush to Dewey Gesie.

Whereby-Irma Jean Pickett gives her bottle of peroxide to Ray Null. Howbeit-Betty Bartlett leaves her plarking lot in the Avnfamdsa park to Wilma Be rends. Carry on ima. Wheretill-Bill Hintz wills his taxi service to any good looking girl in school, providing she can pay for the gas. Howas-Carleta Morning wills her doll-like petiteness to Glendora Kidwell. Asif-Clarice Siebels declares Goon, alias Dick Finson, shall have her curlers and bobby pins. Wheresoever-Bette Morning passes her job at the Heights on to Dorothea Diers. Whichas-Ken Kiburz wills his height and physique to Lee Warner. Where into-Lorraine Buol wills her place in the green- house truck to Marie Yousse. Longas-Helen Mardorf leaves her scholastic standing to Harry Hanken. Wherein-Elaine Behrends gives her well rounded per- sonality to' the Hein triplets. Whereout-Bob Thoeni wills Mary Jean Aldrich to Dutch Heyen-Take good care of her, Dutch! Moreas-Joyce Lange gives her position in F.T.A. to Arlene Kuhns. Whereas-Phyllis Null wills her picture to all of the Junior boys. Now don't fight over it boys! As a matter of fact-Phyllis Heyenleaves her brother, Dutch, to anyone who wants him. Whereupon-Beverly Harms leaves her ability to attract Stuart Sutherland to Mary Alice Wilcox. Anyway-Helen Gerdes wills her poker playing ability to Kay Bender. Wherefore-Wilma Wright leaves her place in the Home Ec. class to her sister. Whereany-La Vern- Schoon will his accordian to Don Hackbarth. Whereforsoever-Delphia Balster declares that Leona Smith should have her love for men. Whereoff-Betty Lou Null leaves her place on the floor at all the Tom Owen's dances to Dorothy Griffith. Nevertheless-Bob Chisman passes on his ability to get a different girl every night to Randy Ganfield. Whereover-Irma Schoon gives back her love for the coach to Mrs. Linn. Howin-Frank Fitzsimmons wills his long fleecy locks to Mr. Walker. Whereto-Carol Caspers leaves her ability to attract Buck Creek males to Edna Kray. However-Mary Lou Hein wills her sophistication to - Verna Onken. Whoas-Galen Hayen gives swats for staying out after 10:00 to Bob Messerli, knowing that Bob doesn't get very many of his own, we're sure he will be glad to get these. Whereat-Betty Eggers wills her cooperativeness in the classroom to Harvey Tapken. Howin-the Bartels sisters leave the traditional wine cellar keyes to Esther Young. Wellas-Betty Smith passes her ex-boy friends on to any elgible Junior girl. Towit-Lois Clark wills her love for flashy neckties to Mr.- Eells. Notwithstanding--Max Schrader wills his secret parking place to Dave Hamilton. He guarantees absolute privacy. You may call at his office between 3:00 A.M. and 4:00 for the blue prints, Dave. Whereon-Helen Kopp gives Don Newton back to the Junior class. Toas--Dick Skelley leaves his ability to attract older women to Jim Seehusen with hopes that Jim will take the hint. Whereoif--JoAnn Schneider gives her knack for telling stories and dry jokes to Mary Lou Adams. Whereso-Glen Appleby, alias Joey, wills his short stature to Audrey Eggers, the sophmore. It's a crying shame-Gene Kuehl wills his melodious baritone voice to Jimmy Robinson. Whatin-Vivian Englebart leaves her nickname of Baby Face to Laura Mae Feltes. Whowith-Madge Schneiter declares that Fern Decker should have her government book. Thereof-Mary Lou Allmand wills her dainty walk to Ron Benson. Forwith-Ron Paulson leaves his green Ford to Don Zimmerman, so Don won't have to drive that old rattletrap of a Model A. Lastas-the class of '46 wills back to the instructors all the disciplinary speeches they handed out so they may use them on the underclassmen, and to the underclassmen a few of the good times this class has had. PROPHESY- Dusk had justfallen on the Oakwood cemetery and there was an air of gloom and mystery hanging low as the full moon shone down on the large white tombstones. It was on this night ten years before that the Class of 46 had departed into the cruel world of despair. It had also been planned that exactly ten years later the Spirits of 46 should arise from their grave and look into the great Monticello Distress to see what had become of their ormer classmates. The famed mortician of the town had promised to bring all the necessary information on this fateful night. As the rather pale figures sat chattering away, picking over all their classmates, they realized how good it was to hear the old familiar names again. When they finally,got around to reading the paper, the name of Theona Aldrich struck them right in the eyes. She had gained the highest position attainable in Iowag she had become the president of the Boys' Reform school at Eldora. Reading a little ways further, they discovered that two of their former schoolmates had gained the position of scientists. Professor Joey Appleby had just developed a new method for iiea control, and Max Schrader had met with success and had been hailed as the second Einstein. He spent years pondering over a way to perfect his latest invention,-berets for boys' hair. To their great surprise Ron Paulson got in the news, as a hero w o went to the jungles of Saskatchewan, eye- ing the savages sternly until they turned and fled. Next they came to a little news item about Betty Smith. As everyone knows she was the famed author of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn but she had now revised the old edition and changed the name to Down in the Sticks . Phfen Bob Thoeni had become famous. In a recent flight in his rocket ship, he won renown by discovering a polecat on Mars. Another interesting bit of news then caught their at- tention. Paul Ladehoff was practically another Tommy Manville. He had already been divorced eight times and had the gleam in his eye again. And speaking of mar- ria es, Elaine Behrends had eloped with Charles Atlas ang they were musclebound in a double ring ceremony. She was at the present training to become the world's greatest lady wrestler.
