The string of cars leaving town on the night of an out-of-town game, the strings of cars coming into town from all directions and converging on the athletic field on the night of a home game, the many times the gymnasium lor auditorium? is used by civic groups for divers kinds of entertainment, the adult evening school program, the summer concerts given by our band and attended by hundreds of people from all over this area, the comments on the School Chronicle from people who have no direct contact with the school, the good attendance at school plays, the support given our year book project by the business men of this trade area- all these prove, beyond a doubt, that what the school does, so does the community. We, the class of l95l, present our edition of the TROJAN to our school mates, faculty, alumni, parents, and friends, as a permanent record of our activities, our organizations, and our accomplishments. The Odebolt community supported those activities during the year, now, we hope it will enjoy viewing them in retrospect. Our purpose has been to portray our school life as one phase of community activity, and to provide a record which will help us, in days to come, to recall our school days. With this aim in mind, we present this, our yearbook. PAGE THREE .sf XY N Uflwll UUH PlHlNlE 'iu. O, ff, .ali ill IA IN, Fa lx We, the Senior Class of l95l, dedicate this, our yearbook, to our parents who have watched over us with unceasing care throughout our lives. Our par- ents are the people who have made it possible for us to attend school and thus prepare ourselves to go out into the world. They watched over us when we were small, brought us to school when we were old enough to attend, and are providing many things for us, now that we are older. They have helped us in time of trouble and have rejoiced with us in our happiness and success. We feel that our parents deserve this honor because of their faithful guidance and encouragement. We thank you, parents, for all of your sacrifices in our behalf. ff KAW C59 as ' W f ft, J X f f fflll 5 if f f f W lf ff Gi Mf kwf Z g U6 Q I Vg f , me 4 7. ff U N e w -f WQZ 2 f ffg 'Pi .g+-- E- W f Yi f-X Xi f- fx PAGE FOUR 9 x J Left to right: Superintendent Bartley G.

One form of service to Odebolt and the surrounding community is capably and unselfishly performed by the Board of Education of the Odebolt Independent School District. It is their duty to make all decisions pertaining to the Odebolt Public School, and it is under their guidance that the school has been able to esta- blish and maintain its high standards.

Of those 24 only ten are graduating from Ode- bolt Public School in 1951. They were Ray- mond Albrecht, Samuel Ammons, Paul Bark- ley, Joan Ecklund, Robert fbetter known as Beanie l Franklin, Gordon Friday, Donald Henrich, Dolores Huebner, David Jensen, Lawrence Klus, James Morr, Homer Paulson, Helen Reuber, Dale Richardson, LaVon Roth, Janet Sonksen, Herman Sorensen, Mervyn Spahn, Richard Swanson, Joyce Thielke, Ruth Treman, Leonard Ziegmann, Barbara Sauter, and Leonard Honaker. During the year we built a store and played in the rhythm band. We lost Barbara Sauter and Leonard Honaker before springj The next year we went to Miss Aden's first grade. Making tomato juice and winning a doll house for having clean hankies, teeth, fingernails, and clothes the most times, were major achievements that year. Lawrence Kon- rady, Ray Neville, Herbert McAhren, Murl Sorensen, and Nancy Witt became new class- mates in place of the following who dropped out: Sammy Ammons, Paul Barkley, Beanie Franklin, Donald Henrich, Lawrence Klus, Janet Sonksen, Joyce Thielke, and Lennie Ziegmann. ln the second grade, with Miss Findley as teacher, we made another store and went to lda Grove and rode to Odebolt on the train. Newcomers that year were the twins, Myra and Myron Dreessen, and Josephine Evans. Herbert McAhren, Herman Sorensen, David Jensen, and Joan Ecklund dropped from our number. Miss Wonders, our third grade teacher, directed our projects of making a post office and making butter when we moved across the hall on the first floor. That year we lost two classmates, Homer Paulson and Dale Rich- ardson, and gained one, Lois Rohlf. Miss Sutton, of chalk-throwing fame, was fourth grade teacher. She changed shoes when her feet started to hurt. But we thought she was O. K. when she read several books to us. Miss Knudson, our music teacher, stopped teaching to join the Red Cross. Our number remained the same, as we lost Mervyn Spahn and gained lngna Erickson. Fifth grade-Miss Gordon-second floor. Leonard Buchanan, Jack Nuetzman, and Pris- cilla Francis joined us. Miss Behrman, later Mrs. lpson, taught us language and reading, Misses Cords and Albert taught physical ed- ucation and music, respectively. Over in sixth grade, Miss Markin and PAGE EIGHTEEN Miss Hade taught our various academic sub- jects. We lost Raymond Albrecht and our morning recesses that year. Kenneth Fertig came in from the country to join us. Seventh grade brought us into junior high, Class periods, extra curricular, study period-all came into our vocabulary. Mar- jorie Dinges, Donald Dreessen, Mary Lou Johnson, Robert Koenitzer, Douglas Neville, Joyce Paulson, and Janet Sonksen enlarged our class. Mrs. Laurino taught us the first two 6-weeks, and then we had a teacher for each subject! Imagine! Our last year of grammar school found us without Myron Dreessen, Robert Koenitzer, and Mary Lou Johnson. We gained William Duffy, Donnie Gunderson, Charles Schaffer, Paul Zadow, Charles Neville, Donald Mallison, and Barbara Murr. Charles Neville dropped out during the year. Then we entered high school! We didn't change schools nor buildings nor rooms, yet there was a difference. The main difference was the multitude of new kids. From the par- ochial school, the country, and from other towns came James Brower, Howard Einspahr, Donald Finger, Harlan Gosch, LaVern Hara- don, James Hess, Lawrence Klus, Harold Lan- sink, Neil Schroeder, Richard Taylor, Stanley Vernia, Cletus Wingert, Leonard Ziegmann, Dorothy Bengford, Mary Bird, Ardine Paulson, Mildred Stover, Joyce Thielke, Veronica Veit, and Barbara Vernia. During the year Harold Lansink and Douglas Neville left us. Under the direction of Mrs. Veitch we put on a radio program with original scripts. Before we knew it we moved into the new building as the new sophomores. Everything seemed to be different-home rooms, privi- leges, classes. Barbara Boyd, Roger Buxton, and Sidney Huff joined our number. As juniors we took on new responsibili- ties. Selling at games, the class play, ordering class rings, and the banquet were the high- lights of the year. Mary Lou Auen joined the class but left before the end of the year as did Mildred Stover. Paul Zadow also left us that year. We were all sorrowed at the death of Harlan Gosch on October 17. And now we're seniors. Richard Bern- hardt joined us to make our number thirty- seven. The 1951 TROJAN was our big project for the year. We enjoyed the usual senior ac- tivities and are sorry to be bringing our high school days to a close. Our hopes for the future are that we may be a credit to Odebolt and to O. H. S. -Helen Reuber llllll lilllll When l grow old and reminisce About my high school years, l'll remember most our senior class Of thirty-seven little clears. There was Rog, quite a lad, With his pretty red curls. He caused the hearts to flutter Of many Odebolt girls. Mary drew our pictures, She's our artist, all reet, She cheered and she sang, Her nickname is Tweet. And there was Dorothy lWe called her Dart? Next to dancing and basketball Men are her sport. Muscle-bound Hess went To the party Bev gave His victim at winkum 'Most went to her grave. Then came our soda jerk, His name is Lennie. He's that way with money, You know, like Jack Benny. His co-worker is Myra Vlho prays every night 5he'll make Duffy a malt That will suit him just right. And then we have Howie, We think, quite a lad. A lot of girls tried, But he wasn't to be had. Nancy lost her head, But 'twas all in fun. To Ida Grove and Cobblestone On weekends she runs. We went to a weddingg It was Ardine's. She used to be Paulson But now she's Bettin. Then there is Gordie, The boy who's never bored He drives a Chrysler But he prefers a Ford. That gal, blonde Dolores, Has a twinkle in her eye. Once she received a note Starting, Dear Sweetie-Pie. We have Don Finger With a social life gay. Did you know he's thinking Of joining the A. A.? 11 Then there's Neil Schroeder And he's quiet as heck. He lost his class ring Around a Freshman neck. Then we have Cletus, True son of the soil, But that guy, we bet Will never die of toil. Right along with him ls Haradon, his pal. Ever hear him tell About his Sac City gal? Dick Bernhardt joined us He's just a small guy. He never says much, We don't know just why. Her nickname is Gossip And ain't it the truth. She's called Walking Chronicle But we'll call her Ruth. Jack and LaVonne Are always together We'd take them apart But they like this way better. Then we have petite, Dark-haired Barbara Murr, Full of vim-vigor- Vitality-that's her. Everybody knows Swanson, He goes around in a daze. The way they tell it He got lost in a Mays. Joyce will get all the joy She wants, yes, she will. At least we will bet That she'll get her Phil. Helen seems to be The brain of the class. Her thoughts are in Ames, Nat in Odebolt, Alas! That lad, James Morr, Has lots of spunk. Can't hang by his tail, Yet we call him monk. And Veronica Veit Always has a date But why dear V. V. Do they last so late? Next is Dick Taylor With a gleam in his eye. Soon, to the moon, He expects to fly. And along with him May go our Marge. The army takes her men, So now she's at large. Wherever you are Barb V. makes you laugh. Her sense of humor would do For a girl and a half. Right next to her ls her brother, Stan, He gained his fame as Five o'clock-shadow man. Lois says nursing Will be her dish. She likes Minnesota, But not just to fish. We all like Big Don With a smile in his eye. Of all those we know He's the most nicest guy. And then of course, We have Boyd, Barbara Jean, She's always being teased About her pointed bean. And Hilma, 'tis said, for a Junior girl has a yen. He's editor of our yearbook, You know him-that's Ken. There is Jim Brower, The mistletoe boy. In basketball and football He was coach's joy. She has lots of nicknames Like Poopsie and Pug, But don't call her Charlie, You might get slugged! Anderson's davenport ls Burlap's pet spot At least, so it seems, He's there a lot. Last, but I do hope, Not least, there is me. And l have attempted to write poetry. Here's to the class, A fine bunch of sports, Who from O. H. S. Are now going forth. lt's been lots of fun, We've had a swell time. So now it's goodbye, 'Tis the end of this rhyme. Janet Sonkseri PAGE NINETEEN F ll lllili 111 llii llllllil PROPH ECY-CLASS OF 1951 The world today is entering a new era, The Atomic Age. People can now accomplish many things that before were unheard of. Come with me as we turn the pages of time ahead ten years and gaze upon the graduates of 1951. They are now engaged in their life work, and we see: Nancy Witt, the 1956 Miss America Contest win- ner, has just announced her plans to go into Darkest Africa, as a missionary. Nancy's policy is to give all the men a chance. Barbara Murr, and Ardine Bettin, nee Paulson, the great Chemical Scientists, have just discovered the 97th element. They state that when it is given to men, it produces a quickening of the heartbeat. They named it femalin. The partnership of Myra Dreessen and Leonard Ziegmann to buy out Watts Drug Store has dissolved. lt was estimated to have involved three to four million dollars. Swimming star, Joyce Thielke, was lately quoted as saying she is endorsing a new brand of bathing suit. When asked what brand it was, she shyly answered, l don't know. lt's too small to even allow a brand name. Dick Bernhardt has just arrived home from his latest trip to Lower Mongolia. The trip was a great success, for he captured many interesting creatures- leopards, monkeys, elephants, Priscilla Francis,-say, how did she get in there? Last word we heard on her was that she was with Neil Schroeder's strong man show. Oh, well, Neil gets most anywhere. Barbara Boyd is just completing her graduate work at Missouri U. Barb has also received the Nobel Prize for her composition on How to tell Horses from Horse Flies. We have just received a message from Neptune. Jack Nuetzman and LaVonne Roth have successfully made the trip there. They report that they are planning to stay there for some length of time, for only there can they be alone. Helen Reuber has achieved the success everyone predicted for her. She has become the first woman President of the United States. Helen's only request was, that Congress allow Carol to tune the piano. Lois Rohlf and Ruth Treman, nurses at Johns Hopkins Hospital have successfully completed a delicate brain operation on that great boxer, Don Dreessen. Don didn't receive the blow in a fight, for on approaching the ring he fell over the water pail. Barbara Vernia and Veronica Veit have just opened a new Beauty Bar on Fifth Avenue. They have received great recognition on their 15th Century hair does. They also promoted the new song Her Hair Hung Down in Ring-a-Lets. Greenwich Village has just received a new resident, Miss Janet Sonksen. She is living there to conduct re- search on Cheese-Cake leg painting. Well! We all have our own ambitions in life. Miss Dorothy Bengford, the star of the Skating Vanities, was the victim of a disastrous series of acci- PAGE TWENTY dents last month. ln the middle of her last act she was hit with a tomato which sent her spinning into the audi- ence. She was later sued for spotting a man's suit with tomato juice. Some people get all the breaks. In the morning paper we were all surprised to see that Jim Hess had won the Indianapolis Speedway race for the fifth time. Of course we all know Jim got a lot of practice in his dad's car. The law firm of Einspahr St Taylor have just crack- ed one of the neatest gambling rings ever to operate. They convicted Jim Snake-Eyes Morr on evidence that he had matched Charlie Nelson out of a pack of gum. You'll soon learn, Jim. Gordon Friday, Millionaire Business Administrator for 15 nation-wide hotel chains, has just announced his intention to buy the St. Louis Cardinals. He said his main interest is in their Star, the man Musial. Trouble is brewing at the University of Iowa. lt was all started by Richard Swanson, who is determined to limit enrollment solely to Beta Theta Pi. The Sioux City airport is crowded today, for soon the plane will arrive carrying those two famous movie stars Delores Huebner and Donald Gunderson. They have just come back from their thirteenth honeymoon. When asked where he got the money Don smiled and replied, lf Phil Harris can do it so can l. Agricultural Scientists Cletus Wingert and LaVern Haradon have just startled the world with their dis- covery that cows give milk. Tnat All-American basketball star from Arizona U., has just broken the N. A. A. U. scoring record by dropping in 105 points in one game. Of course you know who that was-None other than James Brower. Jim has been seen lately in the company of the great songstress Mary Bird, who is on her latest tour for Raspy-Throat Canary Seed Co. Roger Buxton, the DuPont chemist, has just re- vealed his latest discovery. lt is a new kind of cigar made from used chewing gum. Rog said it's the best he's ever had. He should know. Multi-millionaire, Stanley Vernia, has attributed his success in the insurance business, to his remarkable sale of policies for protection against falling stars. All the fools are not yet dead. General Donald Finger, who is now in command of the 5th Division in Korea, states that the war will not be over for thirty years. He says our soldiers are too much interested in the Korean women. Another sportsman has shown up in our tour of stars. He is Kenneth Fertig who has entered the U. S. Cross-ccuntry Track event. Kenneth is picked a sure winner this year for the judge will be a woman, Miss Janet Ogden. And, oh yes, we must report, that we did have one school teacher in our midst. lt was Marjorie Dinges, who is teaching at Davenport. She says she'll surely go for teaching Agriculture. This ends our glimpse of the future of those who, we must all agree, comprised the best graduating class O. H. S. has ever turned out-the class of 1951.

They are finally convinced that they have succeeded in finding the Elixir after someone takes the old dog and replaces it with a young puppy. After this phenomenal success they look around for a human guinea pig on whom they can use the Elixir and finally select General Bur- beck, who is in love with the Professor's daughter, Sylvia, and whom she has refused because he is too old. To complicate matters Sylvia is also Phil's girl and so he is most anxious to try the Elixir on the General. They give the General a bottle of the Elixir, which he accidentally spills. They think that he has drunk the whole bottle and when a baby is found in the chair where the General was sitting the Professor believes the Elixir really has worked. He then tries to figure out a way to get the General back to normal. Later on the Professor's daughter disappears, leaving behind her a neighbor's baby for whom she has been caring. The Professor becomes extremely worried when he finds his daughter gone for he thinks she has drunk the Elixir also. The Professor is almost arrested for all these happenings which everyone thinks he has caused. Things are finally straightened out when the General and Sylvia return and people have claimed their respective babies. Professor Relyea is very much disheartened though because he has to start his experimenting all over again. CAST Professor Frederick Relyea ...........................

The Junior Class thought so after they had looked through and considered several different themes. For the first time, the idea of having a Prom to follow the Banquet was introduced. The committees hired a band, not only to play dance music for the Prom, but also to play dinner music for the Banquet. The Gay Ninety theme was carried out in the decorations and table appointments. A real old-fashioned fireplace was set up at the east end of the gym, with some old pictures hung on either side of it, An improvised stage occupied the west end of the room, the cen- terpiece was a spring with some love seats around it, a large chandelier with a spotlight in it hung down over the centerpiece, coal-oil lamps lighted the tables, place cards, pro- gram-memory booklets, and nut cups were all in Gay Ninety designs, favors were candle holders and pastel colored candles, and the seniors' colors-blue and white-were used wherever color could be used. The gym was reduced to room-size by means of a lattice-work ceiling made with blue and white paper, and the sides were hung with pastel streamers which blocked off the Stagg on the south and the bleachers on the nort .

You have seen most of us in some school activity or other for we have ample representation in all of them. Almost half of us are in band, and even more than that proportion participate in our vocal music program. Quite a number of our class take part in the athletic program of O. H. S. We also are represented in the declam contests with entrants in radio speaking, interpretative reading, one-act play, humorous declamation, and debate. We had a lot of fun rehearsing and putting on our class ploy, The Tangled Yarn, and were pleased with the way in which it was received. During the first semester our class offi- cers were Janet Ogden, president, Marlene Winter, vice president, and John Witt, secretary-treasurer. The second semester, we were led by Gerald Huldeen, president, Wally Duffy, vice president, Bill Teaquist, secretary, and Georgia Hix, treasurer. You want to watch us next year. We're going to go places. We'll be preparing next year's annual. Don't forget to subscribe! Elllllllllllllif lllSE Our class numbers thirty-five this year. We have been very active in all extra-curricu- lar activities, including athletics and music, both vocal and instrumental. Our class fur- nished some excellent players in football and basketball, and has good material for track. Vern Ogden was our president for the first semester, Lowell Brower, vice president, and Danny Hansen, secretary and treasurer. The second semester our officers were DeLoris Cowlham, president, Lois Landgraf, vice president, Dale Linman, secretary, and Aud- rey Buehler, treasurer. We held one class party-a skating party at Ida Grove, at which the juniors were our guests. From all reports, it was a very successful affair. We have had a most satisfactory year, and are looking for- ward to our junior year with its added accomplishments. flifSHlllll EllEE With Miss Florence Holland as sponsor, the class of '54 began its high school career. Elected by their classmates, the following have been the officers: FIRST SEMESTER SECOND SEMESTER Jean Stock President Kay Summerville Roger Barkley Vice President Richard Treman Dale Richardson Secretary Keith McDonough Keith McDonough Treasurer LaVon Finger Janice Turin Reporter Nancy Scott and Jean Stock We have been well represented in Junior high and High School athletic events and have done our part in music, both vocal and instru- mental, and in several divisions of declama- tory work. ' PAGE TWENTY-SIX We firmly believe that all work and no play makes our school days uninteresting, and so to enliven things a little we have had two class parties. The first semester we had a party in the gym, with a scavenger hunt the main entertainment of the evening. The sec- ond semester we had a skating party at the roller rink in lda Grove. We are all looking forward to next fall when we shall move out of our present quart- ers into the high school building. Then we shall really feel that we are part of Odebolt High.

This was followed by a parade down town led by the band. Following the band were the queen and her attendants, the football players, the cheerleaders, and the rest of the student body. After several pep yells, Tom Reynolds, an alumnus of Class '50, gave an encouraging pep talk. Reigning over the many colorful Homecoming events this year was Lois Rohlf, a senior. Her attendants were Janet Ogden, and Ruth Krusenstj- erna, juniors, and Janice Stehr and Lois Landgraf, sophomores. Billy Einspahr was the crown bearer and Diane Buehler and Geraldine Mauer served as junior attendants. On arriving on the field, the royal party entered through an aisle formed by members of the band. Lois was escorted to the throne by Superintendent Ogden. Howard Einspahr, senior class president, placed the crown on the queen's head. After the Queen flipped the coin determining the receiver of the kick- off, the Manilla and Odebolt teams tangled in a gridiron struggle with the mighty Trojans emerging the victors 24-O. The Alumni gathered in the gym for coffee and doughnuts after the game, thus ending a very successful and a very memorable O. H. S. Homecoming.

The reserves saw considerable action in the first game of the year in which we downed Correctionville 35-O. The Trojans racked up their second conference win by rolling past Kingsley 24-7. The third game of the season, a conference game with Moville, turned out to be a thriller. Odebolt led l3-O at the half and seemed to dom- inate play-until the fourth quarter, when a pass interception and a fluke pass attempt left the Trojans with only a one-point lead and only seconds remaining. Moville desperately tried the middle of our line in a conversion attempt, but the line held solid. lt was Odebolt's game l3-l2. By tripping Ogden in the next encounter 7-O, we made it four straight wins, a well-deserved record for fans as well as for players. With seven seconds remaining in the game, a pass good for about 8 yards gave the Trojans the winning margin. The ball was water logged and the fans PAGE FORTY-TWO drenched, but both kept moving toward that north goal. The Touchdown pass, Rex to Brower, was the only one attempted in the second half. Odebolt's l95O winning streak came to an abrupt end when a strong Leed's High School team administered a l9-7 setback. In the homecoming game against Manilla the Trojans fought their way to a 6-O half time lead and then opened up for three additional touch- downs in the second half to win to the tune of 24-O. Everything went wrong in the next game and Odebolt was handed its second defeat by Sac City 20-O. lt was definitely not the -Trojan's night, and never did we penetrate deeper into Sac territory than the l7 yard line. Wall Lake fell before the home team l9-6 at Odebolt in a weekday game on November l. We had ten days to prepare for the final encounter, with Holstein on Armistice Day. Holstein had had an open date on November 4, and had also spent extra time getting ready for our traditional battle, and so the fires were burning hot in both camps. Odebolt's defeat by Holstein could leave the conference title in a three-way tie, and we wanted no part of any such deal. After a scoreless first half, the Trojans conquered the respectable Holstein crew l3-O through sheer determination and courage. lt was a well deserved victory for a most deserving team. PAGE FORTY TH REE Jim was recognized as Don was the only man or Howie developed JIM BROWER DALE RICHARDON DON DREESSEN HOWARD EINSPAHR End-Senior Halfback-Freshman Tackle-Senior Halfback-Senior Stepped fresh from the one of the top football players in the Northwest. His sensational pass- snagging ability and de- fense work deserved even more recognition. He re- ceived honorable mention in the all-state selections. A great competitive spirit was Jim's greatest asset. He never quit, and was always reliable when the chips were down. junior high ranks into varsity competition. Dale refused to concede that his lack of weight and experience would keeo him out of the ball game. He has two more years of football ahead of him and is growing every day. the squad who weighea 200 pounds or over. Don didn't perform any mir- acles, but he was more than a match for any of his opponents. I don't think any one who saw the Ogden game will for- get that it was mostly Dreessen and Co. that cleared the way in that last minute touchdown drive. JACK NUETZMAN End-Senior him- Jack was always sure could do better. That self to be a mightily de- pendable player. lf a vi- tal two or three yards were needed you coulr bet 23-quickee would be Called. On that plov he would squirt through the line and then sift his way through the second- ary. His percentage of pass completions was the highest of the squad. a fine attribute in if he wasn't satisfied his work he would something about it. was bound to improv and he did. Jack pl c a lot of good football as offense as well defense. JOHN REX Quarterback-Junior John's goal was to throw twen- ty passes a' game. He warmed up in the second game of the season and kept throwing until the last with more than medi- ocre success. fHe had some help though with mighty good receivers.J With his strong and accurate aim, chances are he'll be throwing even more next year. GENE GUNDERSON Fullback-Center-Sophomore In his first vear under the var- sity gun, Gene played a lot of good football. Up from the junior high ranks with Dale Richardson, Gene displayed the football savvy and know-how of a veteran. He, along with Rich- ardson, Rex, Ogden, Hansen, Bengford, and a host of others will no doubt make up a strong and deep backfield next year. KENNETH FERTIG Halfbuck-Senior Kenny was troubled with rib ine juries at the first of the season, but maintained a high average in yards gained. He was callec from the sideline in the Leeds game to bolster the Trojans' injury-riddled backfield. Kenny was fast and broke through t: the last man a number ol times. GORDON FRIDAY End-Senior Gordon was the smallest of usual starting linesmen. missed a couple of games cause of injuries that are most bound to occur when guy with his weiaht and raae comes up against, must have seemed to hi be, an unending line of opponents. N I'T1 NEIL SCHROEDER End-Senior Neil stayed in the buggy and waited for his chance to make good. He showed well in each game he entered and he will never regret the effort he pul forth for the good of the team. DON GUNDERSON Center-Senior Don handled the ball more than any other sauad member. In the task of getting the ball to the quarterback, halfback, or kicker, and keeping out an eager opponent at practically the some time, we never lost the ball because of a bad pass from center. His work from backer-up soot on defense was a big factor in keeping the scores of the opponents so low. DICK TAYLOR Guard--Senior Not enough can be said about the dogged determination and fine team spirit displayed by Dick on the practice field as well as throughout each game. It was hard work, pounding open those holes in the heat, and cold, and mud, but Dick, it seemed, loved every minute of it. CLETUS WINGERT Tackle-Senior There was depth in the tackle positions this year and Cletus was one of the four mainstays. He kept battling for a top position on the team and made those ahead of him stay on their toes for fear of being beaten out of a position. JIM HESS Guard-Senior Jim Hess, the redheaded ter- ror, was considered the most steady player of the squad. As one of the goal-dust twins- he and Dick Taylor-Jim stav- ed off many vital trys for short yardage. Played a bang-up game all season and will be hard to replace. DICK SWANSON Fullbock-Senior Dick used his speed to good advantage. He was never caught from behind, but was tripped up a number of times trying to run over a would-be tackler. The nipper was calm and collected and when- ever the quarterback wqs pon- dering over the play situation Dick had the answer, Give me the ball-32 slant. LAVERN HARADON Tackle-Senior 1 LaVern played mostly at the defensive left tackle spot and knew the offensive plays from the right side of the line. There was confusion at times, in the beginning of the season, when he was left in at left tackle and we got control of the ball. lt didn't bother La- Vern too much though. He could bowl them over on of- fense as easily as on defense. JERRY REYNOLDS Tackle-Junior was the surprise product of this year's team. He was first to get the iob of fillnq the only vacant spot Tn a re- turning veteran line. He took his job seriously and never re- linquished his position.

EllllS' Hlilllll-illl This year saw another good season for the Trojanettes, A large per cent of the squad was made up of freshmen, but they proved to be not so green as the season progressed. A new batch of suits came on to the floor for the first game. They are Chartreuse with purple trim, but were called everything from green to gold by refs who obviously weren't up on the latest color fashions. These suits proved to be pretty flashy, especially when they got on the same floor with Holstein's pink. The Trojanettes, along with the Trojans, had a large following this season. Their games proved of interest to fans and parents alike. Having advanced to the final round of the sectional tournament at Schleswig, they were spurred on by a lot of Odebolt fans standing around the edge of the floor watching as they were taken out of the running by Charter Oak. Four seniors are leaving the squad this year. These girls will be missed both on offense and de- fense. But the team and fans can look forward ta a good season next year, which, they hope, will make it number three in a series of the best girls' basketball seasons here for quite a few years.

With her fak- ing, passing ability and shooting accura:y she displayed champ- ionship form in every game in which she participated. SHIRLEY ALBRECHT, Sophomore Guard. A bear-cat on defense. Shirley made the difference in many contests. She could always be depended upon to bring that ball to the line. JEAN STOCK, Freshman Forward. Started the year at guard but we found it necessary to move her T7 the forward court to have a well bal- anced scoring attack. She displayed na- tural ability at nivot with an assortment of back shots. The experience this year should prove invaluable in following years. NANCY SCOTT, Freshman Guard, forward. Nancy is a quick ag- gressive guard, a steady ball player. Against Arthur, Nancy had a blanket around High-Scoring Teghtmeyer. She has also proven she can play forward.

HWS' llllEllflllllll The l95l Odebolt Trojans basketball team was the hottest scoring outfit for miles around. In breezing through a regular schedule of sixteen games, the boys racked up a total of 943 points for a 59 point scoring average per game. They won l5 out of I6 games in season play and 4 out of 5 in tournaments. The maplers of '51 copped the County Conference Tournament trophy, the Sectional trophy, and shared top honors with Lake View in the County Conference race. Games highlighted during the season were those with Alta, Early, Schaller, Sac City, and Manning. Fifteen teams, with the exception of Lake View, fell easy prey to the always hustling Trojan team, before Early caught them looking far ahead at the state series of tournaments. Surprisingly, only four days before the Early upset, fans witnessed a blistering shooting affair between Odebolt and Alta, with both teams running and shooting at a terrific pace. The half ended 46-30, and the Trojans won No. l4 with a final score of 67-60. Members of the Odebolt squad were, at one time during the season, honored by being placed as the l lth best team in the northwest section of lowa,, topped only by such powerful teams as Sioux City Central, Manning, Sioux Center, Ames, and Storm Lake. Against Schaller the high scoring Trojan machine pushed through a record number of buckets and piled up 84 points for the night. This is the highest number of points ever to be scored by a high school team in the Odebolt gym, a record that will be hard to beat. ln the sectional tourney, Odebolt was matched with Sac City in the finals. The Trojans avenged the one- point defeat by the Indians in the sectional last year, by taking their scalp this year 55-47, in what has been described as the sweetest Trojan victory of the Year. In district tournament play, Odebolt was paired with Manning, thus far undefeated and the No. l team of Northwest lowa. The story might have been different if they had drawn a weaker foe, but, as it was, when the final buzzer sounded, the O. H. S. team bowed out of the district series and the basketball picture of l95l. On the whole, Odebolt can be proud of its accomplish- ments during the basketball season. PAGE FORTY EIGHT JIM BROWER Senior Center, guard. A ter- rific floor man, Jim, as well, held top hon- ors in scoring for the record average of l9.- 9 points per game. His effective jump shot and defensive timing puzzled all o o p o n e nts. Brower was honored on the all county team and received state wide recognition. JOHN REX Junior Forward. A key man in Odebolt's fast break. John meshed a total of 315 points for the season, an even l5 pt. average per game. His ball hawkinq tactics and his hard-to-master push shots from the corner broke the backs of many en- vious opponents. VERN OGDEN Sophomore Forward. A southpaw with plenty cf finesse and basketball savvy. Developed an effec- tive fadeaway shot and was a consistent- lv good floor man. Never relinauished his starting berth in his first year of regular varsity competition. KENNY FERTIG Senior Guard. Kenny was one of the guiding hands in bringing Odebolt a winning season. A terrific rebounder-he was never bested ir- this dept. Might be considered the most improved plaver on the squad since in winning his first let- ter he was also as- signed a first team berth on the All- County team. GENE GUNDERSON Sophomore Guard. An aggressive, spirited player whJse greatest value came as a rebounaer and defensive man. Gene was given the bulk of the responsibility cf stopping Lange of Sa: City in the Sectional finals. Everyone ex- cept Sac City players and fans were delight- ed with his work. His drive-in shots, tip-ins, and fine floor play were extremely instru- mental in bringing the Trojans a i9-2 record DICK BERNHARDT, Senior Guard. ln his first and last year at Odebolt, Dick took a back seat to no one. Despite his lack of height he grab- bed his share of rebounds and could always be depended on to put on a steady performance. DICK SWANSON, Senior Center, guard. A very dependable re- serve. Dick saw limited action, but was always there when he was needed most. A good defensive player, Dick also scored 8 quick points in the Early game at the County Tourney. LOWELL BROWER, Sophomore Center. Lowell gave the Trojans added strength on the side-lines. After starting the season at a regular guard position Lowell was shifted to what seemed to be a more comfortable position. He tackled the job of doubling for his brother at center. Lowell, along with Ogden, Rex and Gunderson should give the Trojans another great winning combination.

Bad weather forced postponement and eventual cancellation of the annual Holstein Relays which was the first scheduled meet, April l3. We did not enter the Pocahontas Relays, scheduled the following week, because on that date most of the boys went either in the State Speech Contest at Oskaloosa or to the F.F.A. Convention at Sioux City. The Holstein Relays new date was April 24, which was the date set for the Trojans to run at Sac City in the Good Indian Relays. We withdrew from the Good Indian Relays, and foul weather forced a final cancella- tion ,of the Holstein Relays. On April 27, a warm, southerly, gulf breeze brought mild temperatures to lowa and at last made conditions favorable for a meet. A squad of fifteen, only six of whom were veterans, gave a good account of themselves in the first meet of the year, the Alta Relays. Kenney Fertig ran the half-mile at a record clip, but had to settle for second place a stride behind Rapp from Aurelia who broke Ken's record of two yieagslago. The old record-2:14.35 the new record- Danny Hansen also was headed for a record in the 440 yard dash, but faded the last,thirty yards t0 PAGT FIFTY finish just behind Brownmiller of Aurelia who broke the old record of 56.2 by .3 of a second to establish a new record of 55.9. Vern Ogden had a new record all sewed up in the broad jump, besting the old mark by 6 inches, but a leap of l9 feet lO inches by an opponent made Vern's jump of l9 feet l inch second best. Dick Swanson won his heat in both the low and high hurdles, but his steps were off because of lack of practice and the other heats took honors in those events. Don Gunderson threw the discus llO feet 4 inches which was second only to the record smashing toss of l30 feet. John Rex anchored the 880 yard relay team, the 440 yard relay team, and won his heat in the 220 yard dash for a big afternoon. When the points were totaled for the afternoon, Aurelia led the field with 66 points, Pocahontas was second with 47 points, Holstein, third, 34 points, Prim- gahr, fourth, 33 l!3 points, and Odebolt, fifth, 22 l!3 points. At the time this account is being written-May l -it appears probable that the strength of the track squad will come from those fellows and events mention- ed above, with much help coming from Cletus Wingert, Dale Richardson, Lowell Brower, Gene Gunderson, and Howard Einspahr. Vern Ogden, Coach McLaughlin, John Miller, Cletus Wingert, Donnie Gunderson. Kenneth Fertig Note: lt rained-or Snowed-the day the pictures were to be taken and the track squad was driven indoors. Hence the piano. The boys don't run to music. At the Maple Valley Conference Relay at Holstein on May l, a squad of fifteen Trojans capped six first, five second, four third, and two fifth places for a total of 78M points, just l4 points short of Holstein's first place total of 92. No records were broken because of a short downpour of rain just before the preliminaries. An all-out performance by every participant gave an indication of good team balance for meets to come, DICK SWANSON KENNETH FERTIG DICK SWANSON DANNY HANSEN JOHN REX DANNY HANSEN PAGE FIFTY-ONE IIIEIIIIII III III IIIIII II IIUEII SOLOS AND SMALL GROUPS Trombone-Gordon Friday ll State All-Stare gubo-lqgnlpetf Ferhg If Contest Contest Ornet ,Ge Ong?

We started out our music season with the performance of the marching band at every football game. The band made several different formations with appropriate music and also did some dance steps. These dances were done while we furnished our own music. We made one out-of- town trip to Sac City where we shared the half-time festivities with the Sac City Band. The band was very ably lead by drum major, Janet Ogden. The Majorettes were Darlene Paul, Shirley Schomer, Emily Bergman, Carol Her- rig, Junith Gunderson, Nancy Scott. The band traveled to Ida Grove to participate in the Marching Band Contest linked with Popcorn Day. We received a superior rating and a trophy acknowledging this rating. Concert Band season was started after football and we first had to prepare for the annual Christmas concert. The pep band, a group from the concert band, played at every home basketball game. Contest work was well underway before the basketball season was finished. We had seventeen pupils who worked on solos, and eleven small ensembles. The band played Symphony in E Flat by Saint Saens for contest. The spring concert included a trumpet quartet, a trombone novelty and solos by Charles,Mandernach and Kenneth Fertig. Our contest pieces were also performed at this concert. The band boosters purchased eleven new uniforms, an oboe and three tuba stands this year. They also secured a popcorn popper which they will continue to reap a profit on throughout the years. The Glee Clubs and Chorus started their season's work by participat- ing in the annual Christmas concert. The chorus was the largest this year PAGE FIFTY TWO MARCHING BAND that it has been for many years. We had seventy-six originally but that number was cut to fifty-six for contest use. The Boy's Glee Club sang Dear Land of Home and Winter Song for contest this year. The Boys' Quartet from the above group sang Song of The Buccanneer and De Gospel Train for their contest pieces. Mixed Chorus rehearsals were started in the gymnasium then chang- ed to the regular rehearsal room when the chorus was streamlined for contest work. The chorus sang Hallelujah To The Lord and Ole Ark's A Moverin for contest. The Girls' Glee Club was a larger organization this year also. Fifty-six girls tried out in the fall. For contest work it was cut down to forty-two members. The songs which we sang for contest were: Tenebrae in E Flat, How Merrily We Live, and Follow Me Down to Carlow. Our girls' sextet sang The China Figure and A Mother Goose Fantasy for contest, and the girls' trio sang ln the Boat, and My Johann. The music department started a point system which has been set up by the Department of Public Instruction. These points are made in both the instrumental and vocal departments and are counted together. The awards are, chenille letter, music lyre, trojan head, felt letter, and music lyre for a letter. ' Points are given for being in an organization, public appearances, solo work, playing accompaniments, and extra work. At the end of the year the awards are given on the basis of the following: 400 points, chenille letter, 300 points, music lyre, 250 points, trojan head, 200 points, felt letter.

This was the 1951 forum topic which proved to be especially interesting to everyone in our community. Kenneth Fertig, Wally Duffy, Georgia Hix, and Lois Rohlf were the participating students. The forum was recorded here at Odebolt and was presentetd on the air February 26, 1951. Mr. Shaw, high school speech instructor, directed the program. On April 16 the four panel members and Mr. Shaw took part in the spring session of the fifth annual high school forum workshop at Leeds high school. The event is sponsored by the Sioux City board of education and District Four of the lowa Congress of Parents and Teachers. John Schmidt, principal of Leeds high school, has been moderator since the forum began. The topic for the day, based on Freedom's foundation credo, was, What are the schools doing to develop responsibility on the part of each student for the preservation of the American way of life? The day began with an assembly with Leeds high school faculty and student body and visitors from the various schools. The topic was then discussed with students and participants in the classrooms. Then each forum participant prepared a four minute speech which was given and judged twice. The forum speakers and visiting teachers were the judges. At assembly in the afternoon, the four speakers rated highest comprised the final panel. Barbara Coats, Yankton high school senior, was selected top ranking speaker and she received a S250 college scholarship. Kenneth Fertig tied for second place rating with Marvin Nelson of Central High, Sioux City. Norma McCallum, Madison, S. D. was the fourth member of the final panel. The four panel members reseived plaques bearing like- nesses of the original White House. A new feature of the workshop this year was a panel of four speakers judged next highest, who were interrogators. The day proved to be very interesting and educational to all who were privileged to participate in the event. PAGE FIFTY-NINE PAGE sixTY llli ill The junior class presented its play, The Tangled Yarn, on the nights of October 30 and 31. lt was written by Dagmar Vola, and directed by Frank Shaw. A double cast was used, each one being responsible for one performance.

Their financial situation has become desperate when Alex Lawton informs them that Camilla has won five thousand dollars offered by his magazine for the ideal mother. Cammy had borrowed a costume from Sadie Stringer, a neighbor, and had sent in her picture, thus attired, together with a pathetic history of a deserted wife who had struggled to raise her children, Camilla, Cora, Vivian, and Stuart, not to mention Pinkney, who died a hero, and whose medals they were forced to pawn for bread. Stuart is infatuated with Cammy. He, along with the other two girls, hails her as a mastermind until her yarn becomes quite seriously tangled. Stu's mother arrives on the scene to inform him that she will disinherit him instead of giving him the money he needs to continue his writing, Sadie comes to claim her costume just when Cammy needs it to keep up her masquerade as a poor, old lady, Speed Martin comes to check up on con- flicting news stories about the Page family, Joshua Page enters on the scene and says he is the long-lost husband, and is returning to claim his part of the prize money, telegrams begin to pour in from the parents of Camilla, Vivian, and Cora, and as the last straw, Mrs. Morrison, who lives across the court from the girls, sends word that she suspects Skullduggery and demands an investigation. A picture, a telephone call, a few apologies, and lots of hair-raising incidents help clear the air, and, at last, Camilla's yarn is untangled. Everything ends happily, and even Sadie gets her man. LaVonne Roth, Dolores Huebner, Georgia Hix, Jerry Reynolds. llfllllf lfllllE Odebolt had two debate teams this year, the first for some time. The debate topic, assigned by the Iowa High School Speech Association, was Resolved that the American People Should Reject the Welfare State. Participants were chosen from the first semester speech class. The affirma- tive side ofthe question was handled by Dolores Huebner and LaVonne Roth, with Wally Duffy as alternate. The negative team consisted of Jerry Reynolds and Georgia Hix, and their alternate was Joan McCorkindale. The last four weeks of the first semester, those students worked on debate every day. Speeches were timed, the limit for the main speech being ten minutes, and for the rebuttal, four minutes. At the first contest, in February, Odebolt met Storm Lake and lost the decision on points. ln spite of their brief season, the debate teams felt that the activity was well worth while. PAGE SIXTY ONr: llllt-All llllll This story portrays the feelings and emotions of six men who are stranded on the bottom of the ocean in a disabled submarine.

After running around to pick up news from the teachers and grades, the girls on the staff made the commercial room ring with banging typewriters, giggles and laughs. Myra wrote those features about some of the special things that happened around school, and news from some of the grades. Helen wrote up the hot lunch menus and senior hi classes. Between trips back to Ardine's spot, Veronica edited the news from junior hi and the rest of the grades. Ardine had the column with the funnies and the senior interviews. Janet was editor and did odd jobs besides writing editorials, and Miss Bruce cen- sored the copy. Our paper got some recognition when this part of one of the editorials was quoted in the bulletin for lowa columnists: There probably isn't any- body who wants to go into service at a time like this-or at any time as far as that goes-but it has to be done. Right now our country is in a state of national emergency, and that isn't a thing to be taken lightly. As much as most people hate the idea, personal feelings and plans have to be put aside. When the future and fate of a country are at stake its people have to take care of that first. They say you can get killed just as easily in civilian life as you can in the service-fall in an open manholt, get run over by a car. But there probably is something about staring down the barrel of some Russian Communist's rifle that isn't exactly like crossing the street. Nobody likes it, but it has to be because it is. But gratifying as it was to be quoted in such a publication, our great- est satisfaction came from having the people who read the paper every week, tell us that they liked it. We had fun putting out the paper, we learned a lot by doing it, and we hope our readers enjoyed our product. FOUR Bruce, sponsor. to be.

WATSON-Royol Typewriters Sioux City PAGE SEVENTY-NINE lllllllllllflllliwlll I wish to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to the following people who have helped in the preparation of this yearbook. The l95l TROJAN staff are to be congratulated on their fine co-operation. Everyone was always ready to do his assigned work, and he did it well. The rest of the senior class and the underclassmen did a wonderful job too. They turned in lots of pictures to add spice to the book. Miss Rosmer Bruce, our sponsor, deserves a lot of recognition. She was never too busy to help us with our work, and to give us advice. This annual would not have been possible without her assistance. Mr. Ogden never said no when we made a reasonable request of him-in fact he originated a few ideas to help us out, and we appreciate such a superintendent. And thanks to the rest of the faculty for adjusting their work to permit picture taking now and then. School people are not the only folks to whom thanks are due. Our hats are off to the businessmen who sponsored our annual, thus making it possible for us to sell the book for less than its actual cost. Boerner and Roth helped us by allowing people to bring scrap paper to their place of business when we conducted our financially successful paper drives. The following people all had a hand in our yearbook: Paul Wagner, printing, Richard Wagner, group pictures, Glenn Rohwer of School Photo Service, lnc., individ- ual student pictures, and John Witt, pictures of plays and some small groups. Thanks again to all of you. And now-our work is done in Odebolt High School. An institution is greater than any one individual or any one class. As we step out of the limelight to take our places on the sidelines, others move up to fill the positions we leave, and the school continues to be The Heart of the Community. Kenneth O.
