There were 28 of us to eat graham crackers and rest on our rugs on the floor. They were Lola Albrecht, Roger Barkley, Norman Bengford, Joan Casserly, Shirley Einspahr, Patricia Evans, Dale Gard - ner, Colleen Higby, Joanne Hummel, Gene Johnson, Janice Kipp, John Krusenstjerna, Ronald Meals, Don- ald Murr, Yvonne Neville, Larry Noon, Glenene Peck, Nancy Rector, Dean Richardson, Janet Roose, Jean Stock, Richard Treman, Janice Turin, Dean Ward- rip, Vernon Ludwig, Patricia Weitzel, and Shirley Venzke. We had a chapel, and a grocery store which we were very disappointed to find was stocked with imitation candy! But we were destined for harder studies and longer hours, so 26 of us gathered at Miss Aden's knee to learn something in first grade. Missing this year were NormanBengford, JoanCasserly, Dale Gardner, Gene Johnson, Donald Murr, Larry Noon, Janet Roose, and Patriciaweitzel, but DeanJohnson, Tommy Meehan, Robert Pierce, and Pat Sorensen joined us in pinning ahandkerchief to our blouse or shirt, and standing for daily inspection. Going into second grade, we lost six of our num- ber: Lola Albrecht, Ronald Meals, Nadine Noyd, Glenene Peck, Tommy Meehan, and Robert Pierce but the loss was lessened by the addition of Ronald Bihrer and Larry Johnson. Miss Swanson helped us this year as we struggled with our ABC 's. We were greeted by Miss Barber when we crossed the hall into the third grade. There were some who advanced further than others in reading and so proud- ly sat in the first reading group. The rest of us sat in the second. This year we gained none and lost Vernon Ludwig, Jean Stock, and Shirley Venzke. Upon entering the fourth grade, Miss Charlson told us that we had lost Patricia Evans and Dean Wardrip but added to our number was Kay Summer- ville, MarcellHedberg, and Larry Purcell. The high- light of the year came when we all athered around the heater in the hall and sang Christmas carols. We also learned the parts of the ear. With Miss Jentzen to read to us and guide our studies we advanced on through the fifth grade. We gained three this year: Herman Sorensen, John Carl- ton, and Shirley Millison, and lost five: Dean John- son, Pat Sorenson, Kay Summerville, Marcell Hed- berg, and Larry Purcell. Now we numbered only six- teen. We got sort of tired of climbing up on the fire escape in a fire drill, but it was fun too! In sixth grade, Miss Benning had to cope with the problem of the boys and girls not mixing or even speaking, but she knew we 'd soon get over that! Ab- sent this year was John Carlton, but the new faces were Dean Wardrip, Terry Roberts, Marvin Schramn, LaVon Finger, Nadine Noyd, and Janice Wilkin. The following year we were greeted by the eighth and ninth graders to join them in Junior High. This year we found things much different--extra curricular activities, class parties, study hall, and those un- mentionable citizenship marks! We lost two: Larry Johnson and Janice Wilkin. We gained Raymond Al- brecht, Keith McDonough, Dale Richardson, Robert Konradi, Marilyn Hoefling, Marilyn Schultz, Nancy Scott, Elaine Stehr, and Jean Stock. The eighth grade was pretty much the same as the seventh grade except for the loss of Ronald Bih- rer, Dean Wardrip, Shirley Mallison, Marvin Schramn, Terry Roberts, Robert Konradi, and Tobianne Chaffee. Those added were Margaret Einspahr, Janice God- bersen, Norma Luitjens, John Miller, Vernon Olber- ding, and George Roeder. The next thing we knew were we freshman, though still in junior high, but taking part in high school activities, chorus groups, dramatics, FFA, and ath- letics. From country schools, and parochial school, and other towns, we added to our class roll Charles Bauer, Norman Bengford, Donna Linden, Sheila Meents,Elaine Miller, Marilyn Reising, Neva Schroed - er, Elaine Schwaller, Jeanette Peterson, James Tap- horn, and Duane Veit. This year we lost Herman Sorensen and Raymond Albrecht. Our Sophomore year made us feel we were really inhigh school now, for we were moved into the sen- ior high building. Now we had more privileges, our own lockers, and home rooms. We lost none in the transfer, and gained Wanda Calvin and Glenavon Korth, who transferred to another school during the year. Our Junior year is remembered by our class play, selling at games, selection of class rings, and the main event--the junior-senior banquet. We lost Ver- non Olberding, but added five to our list: Vernon King, Terry Roberts, Rodney Moller, Frances Ogren, and Verlee Mott. Rodney Moller and Dale Richard- son dropped out in the middle of the year. The senior year brings us to the end of our high school journey together. Verlee Mott transferred to Arthur at Christmas time and we gained none to make our final total 37. Those who traveled all thirteen years together are Roger Barkley, Shirley Einspahr, Colleen Higby, Joanne Hummel, Janice Kipp, John Krusenstjerna, Yvonne Neville, Nancy Rector, Dean Richardson, Richard Treman, and Ia- nice Turin. Each one of us will now go a separate way but will always cherish memories of the fun we had, the friendships formed, and those who guided the class along the way.

We are now only one rung from the top of the ladder. We're still below those high and mighty seniors, but not for long. We can hardly wait until next year when we will be the top dogs, and command the re- spect of the poor underclassmen. - We have a large class of forty-nine, with the numbers of boys and girls being about equal. Eleven of our number comprised the cast of our class play, The Inner Willy. At Homecoming, Jeanine Buehler and Emily Bergman rep- resented the Junior class in the royal party. Our activities have been varied, and we have contributed many outstanding members to the football, basketball, and track teams. Also, we are well represented in declam work. A large number of our members belong to the instrumental and vocal large groups. Also, many are active in both instrumental and vocal solos and small ensem- bles. The Junior-Senior Banquet was our big job this year. We paid the bills by selling food at basketball games in our sophomore year and at football games this year. The first semester Roger Kies was our top class official, with Patsy Horst- man handling the vice-president's job, and Bob Hummel writing the minutes and taking care of our finances. The second semester Marilyn Landgraf took over as president, assisted by LaDon Hoefling and Jeanine Buehler as vice-president and secretary-treas- urer respectively. Our class sponsors for the year are Mrs. Olson and Mr. Ferguson. We are all anticipating a good time next year as seniors, and we will try our best to be worthy of that high position. We are hoping to deserve and get the support of everyone as the CLASS OF 55 . SOPHOMORES Here we are--the Class of 56 ! In our first year in the new building we had twenty-seven of our thirty-five members participating in extra-curricular activities. Among them were Regulars in football and basketball, members ,ofithe band, mixed chorus and glee clubs, and some as yet unknown in declam- atory work and track which are still ahead of us. Judy McDonough was our class president throughout the year. For the first semester Marlene Snyder was our vice-president and Rollyn Stehr, sec- retary-treasurer. For the second semester Shirley Rohlf and Bob Girvan were our vice-president and secretary-treasurer respectively. Mr. Shaw and Mr- Lynn were our class sponsors. You'll hear much of us in the two years remaining for us at O. H. S. , ,M FRESHMEN the Class of 57 , have only three more years in which to complete our search for knowledge in O. H. S.

Ronnie Snyder, Don Taylor, Norma Stiles, and Kyle McGonigle, were our officers the second semester. Mr. Potter was our class sponsor. Our class was well represented in all school activities.

This course is im- portant because of the practical applications the student can make of what he learns as well as because it is a preparatory course for prospective college students. STENOGRAPHY comprises ad- vanced typing and shorthand to- gether witha semester of office practice. For several years, the seniors enrolled inthe stenog- r aphy course have taken Fed- eral and Iowa Civil Service tests in the spring. The school does not actually conduct a p l a c e - ment bureau, but it has been highly successful in fitting itsg graduates into jobs in this and neighboring communities. VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE is a nation-wide federally plan- ned program of systematic in- struction in agriculture. It is under a plan cooperatively spon- sored by State Boards of Edu- cation and the United States Of- fice of Education. An integral part of the course is the F. F. A., a non-profit, non-political farm youth organization of voluntary membership designed to take its placd along with other agen- cies striving for the develop- ment of leadership, the building of a more permanent agricul- ture, and the improvement of country life. In a study of ENG LISH LITERA- TURE, the students interest is stirred to the consideration of the enduring values in human life which are expressed in lit- erature and which are our heri- tage. Here, too, he may develop practical habits and skills in reading and writing. A deep satisfaction and a rich reward come to a student from the hours spent in the study of literature. BOOKKEEPING is an elective course for one or two semesters in the senior year. In the first semester the student gets a thorough grounding in the basic bookkeeping cycle. The second semester's work includes use of business forms in a practice set, preparation of Income Tax Returns, and handling of such adjustments as might be ex- pected of a Junior Accountant. The VOCATIONAL HOMEMAK- ING classes aim to teach home- making and management to help the students gain a better under- standing of children and family relationships so that they will be responsible citizens of their communities. ECONOMICS is a science, or systematic study, of matters re- lated to the business of man's making a living. The primary emphasis is to explain the num- erous aspects of a man's re- sponsibilities in the production, consumption, exchange, and dis - tribution of goods. GOVERNMENT is an authority exercised througha given chan- nel over the lives and affairs of agiven body of people. The pri- mary purpose of a course in governmentis to develop a bet- ter under standing of functions of the governing body of our nation and to emphasize our responsi- bilities as citizens. Just as competition makes for better farming practices, so does it heighten interest in some phases of school life and make for excellence in performance. The farmer t is produce gvth y and the state ' where it is judged in comparison wit r similar pro , e school takes its pupils to Music C eech sectional, district, and state co s to be judged in c n with students from other schools. The er endeavors to raise the best specimen certain cropg the school, to develop its students to the highest point which they are capable of reaching. m' 'K 'l i--- gm. m. , 'i,',.,m '-'A ...L coafrf rqfg CLI!

The action, which takes place in the office of Angelina Norton, matron of the Home for Aged Women, concerns the efforts of Miss Norton and Davy , her nurse, to soften the shock of their three elderly guests when they are committed to the State Hospital that afternoon. Davy plans a tea party, with the Seventies help, and the ladies are brought together for a few happy minutes. The plan is cli- maxed with the arrival of the Hospital car and the ladies leave, composed and digni- fied. CHARACTERS Miss Angelina Norton ....... . . Donna Linden Miss Emma Davies Davy ......

This inner Willy, in long underwear and visible only to Wil- loughby,gets the latter into, and some- times out of, all sorts of predicaments. However, Willoughby gains Carol Mar- tin and State Tech but loses--and will- ingly--cod-liver oil and turnips. All in all, Willoughby ' s self-assertion makes a very happy ending.

MARCHING BAND The music season got underway last fall with the performance of the marching band at every home football game. The band performed at the Odebolt-Manilla game which was Manilla's Homecoming and also took part in the crowning of the queen. The band made a fine showing under the very able leader- ship of Darlene Paul with a staff of twirlers. Honors were won at Popcorn Day at Ida Grove, and a trophy acknowledging the fact was presented to the school. Tryouts for all-state band and orchestra were held at Spencer and the following band members made the trip to Des Moines for the annual All-State Music Festival: Charles Mandernach, Darlene Paul, and David Schaefer, all of whom occupied principal chairs. The concert season opened with a concert given by the Beginners Band in which 47 members partici- pated. The Senior Band, consisting of 55 members, gave their annual Christmas concert. At the basket- ball games, everyone enjoyed the tunes from the pep band. 40 band members participated in the County Band at Sac City in February which was a part of the annual County Music Festival. Something new was added this year, a joint concert was given at a adjoining town with their band, and later that band gave a joint concert with us at Odebolt. The Battle of the Bands was with Danbury this year. After each concert, a period of recreation followed. In the late spring another concert was held at which time awards were given to outstanding individuals in instrumental music. This marked the close of the high school instrumental activities for 17 graduat- ing seniors. The Band Boasters lent their help, and advice in all matters and were greatly appreciated. 1-f 3 , K I ...K MAJORETTES Miller.

He will be remembered be- cause ofhis execution of the Bark- ley Special. Norman Bengford --Guard. Norm was an all around workhorse for the tea m. All State honorable mention. Dean Richardson--End. Dean was the sparkplug of the team. His spirit and determination were con- tagious. His career was cut short because of a knee injury received in the Sac game. Terry Roberts--End. Terry was of slight build, yet stout of heart. Was the second leading scorer of the team. John Miller - -Guard. John usually led the defensive team when he was in there. His season was broken up also because ofa knee injury and he missed the Manilla and Sac games. Jim Taphorn- -Fullback. Proba - bly the lightest manto play fullback for Odebolt for some time. He scored twice intercepting a pass for one. Keith M c D o n o u gh--Quarter back. Keith performed capably in his duty to call signals and handle the ball on offense. He completed 52 passes out of 129 attempts--a good 4070. Richard Treman--Center. Al- though Rich saw limited action in the varsity games, he saw and met the challenge of contact in some tough reserve ball games. He was very dependable. strong and powerful and when he got his head down on defense he was even more so. Two of his were the outstanding tackles of the season, one aga inst Early and another against Sac. Bill Kasperson- -Ta ckle. Bill was the heaviest man on the squad at 178 pounds. He will be good company to have around next year. LaDon Hoefling--Halfback. Bub earned his letter last year as an end--this year he became the team's leading ground gainer and scorer as halfback. Jim Neutzman--Halfback. It's not often a sophomore is chosen as a starter and first team regular, but Neutz had the qualities designed to keep him at the top. He finished as the second leading ground gainer with a 5-yd average.

BOYS' BASKETBALL Won 9 Lost 9 In looking back to the 1953-54 boys' basketball season, one should remember that four of six regulars were underclassmen with only sen- iors Richardson and Roberts andjun- ior LaDon Hoefling having had pre- vious experience. It should also be pointed out that five of the teams en- countered through the season were each at one time rated as one of the best in northwest Iowa--Alta, Cor- rectionville, Lytton, Early, and Sac City. These things, coupled with the fact that because of illness, eligibil- ity, and injury the starting lineup was changed eight times through the year, leaves one with the thought that the Trojan record for '54 is a surpris- ing one after all. In winning nine games, the Tro- janmen averaged 55 points per game, a very respectable offensive aver- age. They hit 38U7a of the field goal attempts and 5270 of the free throws. Offensively they ranked high. Two earlier defeats by Schaller and Wall Lake were avenged quite definitely in the county tourney. The Trojans defeated Wall Lake 49-36 in the Con- solation round. Early beat Odebolt in the second round of the county tourney and twice other times in the season. QEarly finished their sea- son in the sub-state tournament.j Other highlights of the season would include the Charter Oak game, in which Odebolt scored 5 points in 15 seconds to tie the score and then moved out to win in the overtime: the hard fought Holstein game, the one point loss to Denisong and, of course, the best game of the season against Sac City in the finals of the sectional. The improvement in play shown in this game was indicative of the spirit maintained by the boys throughout the season. Seniors Terry Roberts and Dean Richardson had spectacular nights. Roberts hit 717: his field goal attempts to lead the scoring and Richardson was second high. Yes, we will remember the spir- it and the tremendous improvement shown by the Trojans throughout the basketball season of 1953-54. TERRY ROBERTS - senior-forward. Terry averaged l2.'75 points per game, for 20 games, hit 49470 of field goals attempted and 6870 of free throws. Terry, the Terrible, had his best night in last game against Sac City, hitting 10 out of 14 shots from the floor. BILL HA LBOTH-junior-center. Bill averaged 14.6 points per game and led in that department. He was one of the top rebounders along with Richardson and Marteins. Skeets had the most chances at the free throw line, getting 68 gift points out of 136 trys. LADON HOEFLING-junior-guard. Bub averaged 12.3 points per game and handled the chores of play- maker. Against Charter Oak he had quite a hand in tieing the score after Odebolt trailed 5 points with only 15 seconds remaining. We won the game going away C74-651 in the 3 minute over time. DEAN RICHARDSON -senior-guard -Dean often was given the most difficult defensive assignment. Mar- tins ' best nights were against the toughest competi- tion. He was outstanding in thrillers--lost to Early, 41-47 and Sac City, 5l-55. Dean was considered the spark plug of the team. BOB MARTIENS-junior-forward -center. Bob saw ac- tion in all of the last nine games, but was ineligible for the first semester's games. His height was an aid in rebounding and the doublepost offense seemed to fit the needs of the rest of the team. Bob will be of tremendous value next season. BOB GIRVIN -sophomore -forward. The only sopho- more to break into the lineup this season, Bob showed a great desire to play and improve. A good shot-- Bob ended the season hitting better than 40070 of his shots. GARY HOGUE-junior-guard. Gary played in most of the early games of the season. He started the Lytton and Alta, one of his best games, along with the Charter Oak game. A good shot from out Gary should add scoring punch to next year's squad. JERRY IVERSEN -junior forward -guard. Jerry was im- pressive in the early season and started the first five ball games. His lack of height was a drawback for him and this, as is always the case, had to be over- come with speed and aggressiveness.

For the third con- secutive year they won the girls' Sac County Tournament. They defeated Nemaha 62-36, Auburn 73-34, and Wall Lake 68-64. This was the first time in fifteen years the girls have advanced to the district tournament. They did so by defeating Kiron 64-36, Lake View 72-30 and Wall Lake 62-53 in sectional games. In district play the Trojanettes hadavery cold night against Farnham- ville and lost 62-42. The girls hit only 21 per cent of their shots for the poor- est shooting of the season. Farnham- ville meanwhile was hitting a good per cent of their shots for the difference in the score. The Trojanettes redeemed themselves however by defeating Boone in the consolation game 82-68. Boone was regarded as one of the toughest teams in central Iowa. This season was especially enjoy- able because of the terrific spirit and desire of the girls. With everyone on the squad working hard and striving for a position on the team, competition for these positions became great. This strong competition made our reserve strength greater than the previous year and consequently we had amuch better ball team. The Trojanettes scored 1410 points for an offensive average of64 points a game and held their opponents to 1046 points for a defensive average of 47.5 points per game. The season brought an end to the careers of five wonderful seniors. They are Jean Stock, Nancy Scott, Frances Ogren, Joanne Hummel, and Margaret Einspahr. All five girls gave commend- able performances throughout the year and will be very hard to replace next season. Jean Stock had an exceptionally good year working in the post forward posi- tion. She was one of the highest scorers in the state scoring 680 points in 22 games for an average of 30.9 points per game. She ended her career as be- ing the highest scorer on record in Ode- bolt's history. Her four year total was 1654 points. Jean, along with Nancy Scott and Frances Ogren was chosen for honorable mention on two all-state selections, the Iowa Daily Press, and Register-Tribune. Prospects for next season are about average. We should have another good team ifthe girls have the spirit, desire and cooperation of the past season. We re hoping for some new prospects to bolster our reserve strength and provide strong competition for the re- turning letter winners. M52 J, ' I gum ., f -f I I ii? A Qi.

SKIP DAY Early in the morning of May the 10th, 36 of us seniors congregated in front of the Brower Hotel together with Mr, Ogden, a bus driver, and a bus. The occasion of course was the Senior Skip Day. The plans had been made some time before, but in order to be different we had decided to Keep our plans secret and sono one but us knew the when and the where of the traditional Skip Day. At 6:30 A, M, the bus took off for Omaha. At approximately 9:00 the day's activities were under way with a visit to famous Boys' Town. After a long, interesting tour of the grounds and buildings, we once again boarded the bus to head back into Omaha and we took an hour off for lunch. The next item on our program was a well-guarded tour of the Fede ral Re s e rve Band of Omaha. Well guarded? you ask. How many of you have held a million dollars in one hand ? Following that we were on our own till 9 P,M, Shopping, visiting, movies, plane riding constituted the days activities for most of us, and then it was time--time to pile in the bus for the last leg of the trip and head for home. It had beena good day--one to remember. What happened on the way home ? ? ? We'll never tell! ! !

A. is the local chapter of our largest farm youth or- ganization, the Future Farmers of A- merica. The F. F. A. is built upon the motto: Learning to Dog Doing to Learn: Earning to Live: Living to serve. The F. F. A. also develops the members in co-operation, leadership, character, thrift, ser vice, knowledge of improve- ments in agriculture, and the ability to have fun in organized recreation. The members elected the following boys as officers to lead them in the ac- tivities for 1953-1954: President, Terry Roberts: Vice President, Marlin Gund- ersong Secretary, Vernon King: Treas- urer, Harold Miller: Reporter, Bob Scanlon: Sentinel, Paul Bengford. In order to obtaina plan of activities for 1953-1954 a program of workwas established, which enabled the chapter to carry on its work. Some of the ac- tivities that were included in the pro- gram of work are as follows: Supervised Practice - The execu- tive committee, which is composed of the officers, had each member select aproject for the year and keep records on that project. Co-operative Activities - The mem- bers of the chapter cooperated in hav- ing a Parent and Son Banquet in the spring and selling garden seeds and seed potatoes during mid-winter. Community Service - The members served the community by sponsoring a soil-testing and seed-testing service for farmers. Leadership Activities - During the months of March and April the chapter sent participants to the district contests and delegates to the state convention. Conduct of Meetings - This commit- tee was responsible for encouraging members to wear F. F. A. jackets and pins, also to use parliamentary proce- dure during meetings. Earnings and Savings - This com- mittee which was directed by the treas- urer was to operate the thrift bank and suggest means for collecting money to operate the chapter. Recreation - Throughthis commit- tee the chapter sponsored a hayride and roller skating party and many other or- ganized recreational activities. Publicity - Through the actions of this committee, there were many ar- ticles concerning the chapter printed in the local newspaper and the F. F. A.'s Northwest District Iowa News Letter. Under Mr. Lynn, vocational agri- culture instructor, the boys studied various aspects of farm management, some of which included: How to feed livestock efficiently: Care and use of farm buildings: and Budgeting the farm income. The chapter, although impossibly small,was highly successful during the year of 1953-1954.

TROJAN STAFF Those of us on the Annual Staff, whether elected or appointed, have had one goalg that has been to have an annual that would be unique when compared with the TROJANS of the past. We feel this has been accomplished through the changes and revisions which have been incorporated in this 1954 TROJAN. In the spring of 1953, the class of '54 met to elect the personnel for the top three positions on the staff. They were Roger Barkley, editor-in-chief, Janice Godbersen, assistant editorg and Terry Roberts, business m a na g e r . Judging from their accomplishments, the rest of the staff, which were ap- pointed, must have gone into high gear immediately and stayed in high gear un- til the job was completed. Richard Treman, Norman Bengford, and John Krusenstjerna solicited this and near -by communities to obtain do- nors and advertisers for this year's Trojan. They, through their concerted efforts, visited more business places and received more money than has ever before been collected by any annual staff. Keith McDonough and Dean Rich- ardson were responsible for lining up the picture-taking schedule and were called upon to see that the necessary people were in the right place at the right time. Jean Stock and Janice Tur- in had the very important job of lay- out editors. They placed every picture on every page which is a big job in it- self. Norma Luitjens and Nadine Noyd did our typing and prepared all the copy for the entire book. Nimble fingers were never more appreciated than on that assignment. Donna Linden was in charge of subscription sales and of the very successful annual sales carnival, at whichwe gathered in ssoo in forty- five minutes. Together, those thirteen people with the yearbook sponsor, Miss Bruce, who was helpful at all times in all the different phases of this book's production, have labored long and dili- gently and are reaping reward in this, the finished 1954 TROJAN. SENIOR CLASS PLAY, GREEN VALLEY BY FRANK WATTRQN Nestled away in the California hills is tiny, picturesque Green Valley owned for a hundred years by the Berry family. Grampaw Berry himself, it was--a straight-thinking, straight-shooting pioneer--who staked out the original claim back in gold rush days . . . But Eldon Berry, the last of the line, is about to lose it to the unscrupulous hands of one Tobias J. Everheel. Right now, the loss will be doubly painful. Strangely, unaccountably, Green Valley has become a little paradise of nature. Everything is growing in rampant profusion. Most unusual of all is Eldon's cow, Minnie, who imbibes from the re- newed bubbling spring and gives gallons of rare milk--milk so rare that those who drink it hear weird music and see people . . . people who officially stopped walking the earth many years before. You don't believe it? Well, Prim Stokes, the vital native girl in love with Eldon, didn't believe it until, stirred from their eternal rest by the noise of Ever- heel's tractor and the threat to their Valley, Eldon's ancestors are riz . Pep- peryGrampaw, Granny who insists on hooks and eyes instead of buttons and bows, gruff Calhoun, bearded Jeb, mechanical-minded Lonesome, gigantic Powerful, giggle -witted Ransome, and all the rest have come back to fight, to laugh, to love-- till they finally and dramatically fade away on the waters of Everheel's exploded dam just as the cocky crowing of Ol Arthur, the herald of the morn, brings CAST OF CHARACTERS them back.

Thus it has been with our school project--the 1954 TROJAN. We consider that the financial backing given us by OUI' AdVel'fiSel'S is inasensea1oan,for we hope to repay it many times over in our service to our community, made possible by the training which we have received at the hands of that community. kid tifi Farming today calls for power and econ- o my .

'X fe , And now another school year is finished, but We can live it over and over again as we leaf through the pages of the 1954 Trojan. We have endeavored to chronicle the complete story of our senior year in Ode- bolt High School--its successes, its disappointments, its good times, or, to carry out our analogy, we might say its bumper crops, its dust storms, and its drenching rains. - In compiling this record,We have come to realize that yearbook pro- ductionis an undertaking of major proportions. lt has required the com- bined efforts of student body, faculty, administration, and the community at large. A yearbook is primarily a pictorial record of a school year, and so photography plays a large part in its success. We of the 1954 staff have been exceedingly fortunate in that Loren Baber took over the Skylight Studio in time to do our photographic work. Practically all the pictures in this book are his Work. We thank you, Mr. Baber, for the time and effort you have so generously expended in our behalf. As in past years, Miss Bruce's assistance has been invaluable. We who have been on the yearbook staff realize how much time she has de- voted to our project, and we deeply appreciate her advice, her know- how, and the work she has done for us. Mr. Hedstrom, American Yearbook Company representative, has been mo st helpful and has given us the benefit of his knowledge in publication essentials. We are grateful to him for his visits and his suggestions. Our thanks e to the entire faculty for their forbearance. We know our p' ture-takin has disrupted classes, no matter how carefully we tried plan it, and o r teachers have been most patient. Of c urse, an underta ing of this size es wit 1 any financial burde . The question aros many time , 'But will we have e money? Thro gh the financial assi ce of e businesses of this an neighbor- ing ommunities,we did hav the oney to create, w at we of the Tr ' n sta feel is, a fine yearbook. We are very gratefu for the su rt ac- co ded us. It's been a har push at times. Often we have thought that we could use a few more hou ' ay, what with athletics, music, speech, and year lamoring f r our attention. But we ' et e challenge a e yearbook worthy of our class. We hope ou readers like it too. THE 1954 TROJAN STAFF X m 'iii-L.. W 4 'wwbwwwfw -xwmw wvdunubzh-MMQWQMW . X U-o ww.. QQ V l af Ln- 'nnnnninsauffm 1- +-... . ooo..
