I ODEBOLT PUBLIC SCHOOLS High School Grade School FOREWORD In following the yearbook tradition, we, the class of '53, have strived to perfect a book that will bring back memories clear. Many of those memories which our hearts will treasure are twined about our school buildings above. Since the day of registration, the ann- ual staff, co-ordinating with the senior class, has spent countless hours in coll- ecting and arranging the pictures and copy that you see on the following pages. We have worked diligently in the hope that our book will meet with your approval. Your satisfaction is our reward. Each succeed- ing senior class has endeavored to pro- duce a yearbook surpassing all previous yearbooks. We believe that we have pro- duced one that is different--and, we hope, much better. However, you, our readers, are the judges of our workmanship. 3 N DEDICATIO WE THE SENIORCLASS OF 1953 DEDICATE THIS OUR ANNUAL TO THE MANY BUSINESSES AND INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE SPONSORED THE PRO DUCTION OF THIS YEARBOOK WITH THEIR FINAN CIAL CONTRIBUTIONS WECONSIDER THEM MOST DESERVING IN THAT THEY SO GENEROUSLY AND WHOLEHEARTEDLY CONTRIBUTED TO THE FUNDS NECESSARY FOR THE PUBLICATION OF THIS BOOK AND TO ITS SUBSEQUENT SUCCESS WE HAVE RECOGNIZED EACH SPONSOR ON THE SPONSOR PAGE LOCATED IN THE BACK OF THE BOOK.

THE I952 FOOTBALL STORY The Trojans of '52 started the season against Wall Lake at home, September 12. After a sluggish first half the Mc- Laughlin men came back in fine shape to win 28-7. The following week Kingsley traveled to Odebolt. Two days before this en- counter the only serious blow of the year for the Trojans descended in the sudden appendicitis attack on first-string center, Bernie Bengford. Bernie was out of uniform the remainder of the sea- son. His position was taken over by Roger Barkley. Kingsley met defeat as did six other Trojan opponents. The score, 53-6. In the third game Odebolt played Rock Rapids. This game, which took the place of the usual Moville game was a Dads' night battle. This was the toughest game to date for the Trojans, but once again the passing and running of the quarterback Vern Ogden, a senior, and the pass receiving and defensive play of Gene Gunderson, also a senior, along with the running of line-plowing full back Da.1e Richardson, the fleetfoodedness of Danny Hanson and Pat Sorensen and the capabilities of linemen Dale Linrnan, Jim Meyer, Roger Barkley, Normie Bengford, John Miller and Don Hoefling along with some 15 or 16 able subs proved too much for Rock Rapids. The score Odebolt 43, Rock Rapids 0. The fourth tilt was the annual affair with Correctionville, there. In this game three linemen of the Trojans hit pay dirt. Norm Bengford intercepted a pass and ran 50 yards for a T, D, Roger Barkley intercepted a pass for a 40 yard run and Jim Meyer tallied by picking up a fumble. The shock troops took over in the second half and held their own very capably. Gary Hogue did a fine job defensively along with Dean Rich- ardson, Keith McDonough, Jim Taphorn, Paul Bengford and LaDon Hoefling. The score Odebolt 40 - Correctionville 6. The game on October 10 proved to be one to remember when the Trojans traveled to Marcus and met some real opposition. Behind, 7 to 6, at the half the Trojans came back to win 13-7 by displaying real fight and football know- how. The next week was Homecoming. Lois Landgraf, as queen, ruled over the festivities of the evening. Odebolt played Manilla that night in the last home game of the season. Out to avenge their 39-0 loss in '51, the Trojans were really fired up and they still had an undefeated record at the end of the game. Odebolt 13 - Manilla 0. When Sac City is mentioned mem- ories of good football are recalled. This year was no exception. The Trojans held their own up to the end of the first half. In the second half two 95-yard runs on the part of Sac City were upsetting to the Trojans. Odebolt went down to defeat 34 to 19 but not disgracefully. They played hard football all the way and the Indians knew they had had a game. The next Friday was an open night so the team had two weeks to prepare for their battle with an old rival, Holstein. November 7 the Trojans traveled to Holstein for the final game of the sea- son. The night was perfect as had been all the other nights of the season. Odebolt came through with flying colors and handed Holstein the short end of a. 39-0 score, thus giving the Trojans the Maple Valley Conference title for the fifth con- secutive year. Many thanks should be given to the ardent supporters of the Trojans who gave them the will to win. Thanks are due also to Coach Buum for a fine scout- ing job. Finally congratulations are in order for Russ McLaughlin who again coached the Odebolt Trojans through a fine season.

After Manilla was burned in the bon- fire, the band played a few peppy numbers. Following this, and several pep yells led by the cheerleaders, some of the Odebolt businessmen, a few of the teachers, and some of the football players gave encourag- ing pep talks. On October 17, the day of Home- coming, a pep meeting was held in the gym. Reigning over the many colorful festivities was Senior Queen, Lois Land- graf. Her attendants were Frances Ogren and Jean Stock, Juniors, and Jeanine Buehler and Marilyn Landgraf, soph- omores. Bobby Dannenberg was the crown bearer. Joan Hemphill and Susan Johnson were the flower girls. Preceding the Coronation, which was held immediately before the game, the royal party was escorted through an aisle formed bythe two football squads. Frances was escorted by Bernie Bengford, Jean by Lowell Brower, Jeanine by Dick Lind- gren, and Marilyn was escorted by Ronnie Salmonson. Lois was escorted by Super- intendent Ogden who also placed the crown on her head while she knelt before him. The game was another victory for Odebolt when the mighty Trojans beat the Manilla Hawks 13 to O. Following the game, a lunch was served in the gym for the Alumni. Then followed a dance in the gym for the Alumni and the high school students, which ended another delightful Homecoming for O.H,,S. -Z - ft' so 3' 'CLE-in ll 'S- . ,H On December 8, the annual football banquet brought to a close a season of outstanding football by the Odebolt Tro- jans. The supper, served by the ladies of the Methodist Church in their dining room was a. high spot of the evening. The program consisted of a marimba solo by Nadine Noyd and three numbers by the Odebolt Barbershop Quartet. Coach Russ McLaughlin presented letters and certificates to the team and an- nounced the election of Vern Ogden and Dale Linman as the honorary co-cap- tains for the season. This was followed by a speech by Vee Green, sportscaster from WHO, Des Moines. At the con- clusion of his talk he showed a picture of the Iowa U-Pittsburgh game. Between 150 and 200 people attended the banquet and enjoyed the program which was M.C, 'd by Supt. Ogden. Coach McLaughlin pre- sented Coach Bob Buum to the company and the co-captains presented a gift to each of the coaches from the team.

After going down to defeat in their first two ball games with Schaller and Arthur respectively the Trojanettes came through with victories in their next three games. Two wins and two defeats later the girls won the first game of the county tournament defeating Wall Lake 60 to 51. After a tussle with Auburn in the second round of the county tournament the Trojanettes played like real champ- ions defeating Schaller for the champ- ionship trophy, 58 to 57. Four days later the sectional tournament opened and the Trojanettes met disaster, losing to Schleswig in the first game 50 to 46. The usual starting line up consisted of Jean Stock, Nancy Scott, and Francis Ogren in the forward positions and Shirley Albrecht, Shirley Schomer, and Joanne Hummel at the guard positions. Joanne Hummel was sidelined at mid-season due to a muscle pull in her back. De- Lois Cowlham took over the vacant guard spot and turned in a very com- mendable performance for the remain- der of the season. Jean Stock led the Trojanettes scoring barrage with 384 points and a game average of 27.42 points. Nancy Scott was second high scorer with 196 points and a game average of 14 points. Francis Ogren was third high scorer for the season and her passes to .lean Stock in the post were invaluable. Francis scored 148 points for a game average of 10.57 points. As usual the guards didn't receive enough credit for their fine guarding and finesse in bringing the ball up court. They played against some terrific for- wards this season but still they more than held their own against them. The defensive average for the season was 52.14 and the offensive average was 53.71. The Trojanettes were at a definite disadvantage the whole season due to a lack of height on the squad. The entire team made up for the lack of height with their terrific drive and spirit. Graduation will take two good guards from the squad but with the help of un- derclassmen and a little self-confidence the Trojanettes will be looking forward to a good season next year. IUNITH GUNDERSON Sophomore - Forward The only left-hand player on the squad One ofthe hardest workers on the squad. --can score with either hand readily. She broke into the starting line up at Competition for the front court will be mid-season and played her best game terrificnextyear, andjunith will be one against Schaller in the county tourna- forward seeing a lot of action. ment. We will miss her next year. NANCY SCOTT Junior - Forward Our fastest and most aggressive player. For her size, she was one of the best re- bounders, and was continually intercept- ing passes. Nancy scored most often with a one-hand push shot and a driv- inghook shot. Great thingsare expected from her next year. DELORIS COWLHAM Senior - Guard 71: JEAN STOCK Junior - Forward One of the best post forwards around here. Jean always poured in the points with her right and left hand pivot shots, and grabbed more than her share of re- bounds. The spectators can look for- ward toa great season next year for this conscientious ball player. l FRANCES OGREN Junior - Forward A transfer from Kiron with ice-water in her veins. With five seconds left in the finals ofthe county tournament, Frances sank one of two free throws to win the game. Her passing was invaluable, and her shooting improved with each game - - a good prospect for next year. COLLEEN HIGBY Junior - Guard Colleen's lack of height did not lessen her speed nor her desire to play basket- ball. Her assignment was usually to guard the fastest forward on the court. She held Schaller's speedy forward, Wright, to a standstill. She will be a great asset next year. SHIRLEY ALBRECHT Senior - Guard One ofthe best guards in northwest Iowa. Herlackofsize was offset by her speed. She flustered many good forwards with her ability to intercept passes and steal the ball on a dribble. Shirley is a coach's dream with her wonderful at- titude and her guarding ability. She will be irreplaceable next year. JOAN SIEBRECHT Senior - Forward Ioan had to drop basketball on doctor's orders. With a little experience she would have been playing a lot of bas- ketball. She was also a good replace- ment at guard where she could handle most any forward. Ioan was a hard worker and a terrific asset to the team. IOANNE HUMMEL junior - Guard Plagued with injuries, and yet always there when needed. She can play post guard or out front equally well. She will be an important figure in the back court next season and should bolster the strength of the team considerably. 37 SHIRLEY SCHOMER Sophomore - Guard One of our best guards, Shirley worked hard and learned the game. She will carry the burden of the back court next year and isexpected to develop into one of the best guards in this territory.

BOYS BASKETBALL HIGHLIGHTS OF SCHEDULED GAMES A 49-31 victory over Schaller ap- peared to be nothing more than a modest beginning of an average season. How- ever, momentum picked up and the Tro- jans raced on to win 9 out of the first 10 games, losing only to Correctionville. They averaged 67 points per game, the top score and the school record for most points scored in one game being 88 against Auburn. The one loss came the day before the team was to make a trip to Ames to participate in the annual coaching clinic. Other teams participating were Fertile QOdebo1t's opponentl, Dubuque, Roland, Fort Dodge QCorpus Christij, Dinsdale, Oelwein, and Ames. Odebolt beat Fertile 33-Z3 in one half game. It was a very interesting and enjoyable trip. The rest of the beginning season saw Lake View, Nemaha, Wall Lake, Arthur, Danbury, Early, and Alta fall before the on rush of the Trojan team. Holstein was another victim of the tal1 tailors of custom played basket- ball 80-36. That game preceded the county tourney which Odebolt won for the third straight year. In the tourna- ment the Trojans had to play without the services of Vern Ogden who previously had severely sprained his ankle. He missed the last seven games before sectional time. Denison, a newcomer to the schedule, was beaten 57-34. The record at time of printing stood at 14 games won and 1 lost. HO ORABLE ME TIC Vern Ogden--Senior - Forward. This four-year veteran left-hander accumulated an amazing record in percentage of field goals made--close to 50070 of shots attempted in the first tcn games. A badly sprained ankle received in the Wall Lake game benched him for a couple of weeks. Gene Gunderson - Senior - Center. Gene was the lead- ing scorer and top rebounder of the club, averaged better than 17 points per game at midseason. He put on a 32 point splurge in the Auburn game and shot 38 points against Alta. Lowell Brower - Senior - Guard, Center. Our ability to control the backboards was the one big factor that helped win nine out of ten games. Brower and Gunderson con- trolled 85 lo of the teams rebounds. Brower's hook shot added power to the one-two punch of Odebolt's double- post offense. Ronnie Salmonson - Senior - Forward. Ronnie's advance from PT class to lst team varsity in one year was a rarity. He has fine aggressive spirit that he maintained at a tor- rid pace through out the season. His ball-hawking tech- nique was a tremendous help in producing a winning sea- son. Don Hoefling - Senior - Guard. Scrap and determina- tion helped Skip become a first rate ball player. Later in the season he combined these with the ability to score and never relinquished his starting berth. Charles Mandernach - Sophomore - Guard. Used spar- ingly at the beginning of the season, Chuck broke into the lineup after demonstrating his net-slashing shooting from out front. His ability to hit from out broke up several defenses that were encountered during the season. LaDon Hoefling - Sophomore - Forward. Speed is a con- tributing factor to the success of any ball team. With L,aDon in the line up the tempo of the game was always increased. Fast break worked well for him. Big things to come from this little fellow. Dale Lange - Senior - Center. Dale made competition rough for that starting post position. He developed a daz- zling hook-shot that couldn't be stopped, When credit is given for the success ofthis year's basketball team Dale's name must be included high on the list. Dean Richardson -Junior - Guard. Dean developed a good sense of peripheral vision. This helped his already good passing game. Along with Mandernach, Hoefling, and others, Dean should be a leader for next year's squad. He's the only returning junior letterman. Bill Halboth - Sophomore - Center. For Bill, improve- ment was achieved at the price of hard work. Probably no one ever doubted that Bill would make the grade. Watch for more improvement in 1954 and '5-5. v rr. .1 - , , TPS - L- I .,a.1Ifsf?,Ig,5f?1E1fr14f-myr N1l:fJ'Ef, ,NWI T'-',1'? .- - - '-,,q,f 5 I-LL 1,4145 ly.- Q Y v-1 I 1 ' .34 If I r, -XI I ' A I I 2.4.a,5.. 4 pg:-nu-u-nu DID HE SINK IT?

Janice Godberson was the alternate, and Mr. Frank Shaw the director. After study of the topic in speech class the last part of the first se- mester, the team although inexperienced, did very well. They were invited to the Buena Vista College Debate Clinic on February 6. The af- firmative won over Estherville and lost to I-Iawarden. The negative de- feated Lytton and lost to LeMars. 53 rbi Wd 0 Qs Q66 056 9,25 QPZW gf 4 QJY O14 65 vols I S 54 WNAX FORUM For the seventh consecutive year, Odebolt, along with other schools in Iowa and neighboring states, selected four speakers to participate in a public forum recorded on the spot and broadcasted on a later date by the radio, station, WNAX, Sioux City. This year the symposium was recorded on the twentieth of January in the high school auditorium, The panel mem- bers were Lowell Brower, Roger Barkley, Vern Ogden, and Danny Hanseng the pro- blem was Should the United States Continue its support of the United Nations ? Lowell and Roger advocated with- drawal while Vern and Danny maintained the conservative view. Following the construc- tive arguments was a period of audience participation in which anyone was given a chance to direct questions pertaining to the topic to the panel members. Art Smith, manager of WNAX, was in charge of the program and John Schmidt, director of adult education in Sioux City, acted as our mod- erator. In former years the panel members have been invited to attend the Leeds Work Shop in the spring: this year, how- ever, instead of the regular broadcast by WNAX, a tele- vision program was arranged and presented over a new channel set up by the radio station. The members conduct- ed an informal panel discussion on a very thought-provoking subject. Mr. Frank J. Shaw offered assistance and advice and accompanied the four to Sioux City. He deserves the thanks which those of the panel ex- tend to him. JUNIOR CLASS PLAY The Junior Class, under the direction of Mr. Frank Shaw, presented their class play, Men Are Like Streetcars on Friday evening, October 31, 1952. The play was a three-act comedy by Graeme and Sarah Lorimor concerning the efforts of Maudie Mason to advise her friends, her cousin, and especially her sister on how to catch a man. Maudie plans to aid her family but the plans backfire, thus affording a very amusing evening for all who attended the play. The cast included: Jean Stock John Krusenstjerna Mrs. Mason Mr. Mason Maudie Nancy Rector Sylvia Donna Linden Joy Janice Turin Alix Neva Shroeder Julie Marilyn Reising Lysbeth Janice Kipp Mrs. White Mrs. Allen Nancy Scott Janice Godber sen Mrs. Day Colleen Higby Davy Keith McDonough Chi Norman Bengford Jerry Richard Treman Ted Roger Barkley Margaret Nadine Noyd ONE ACT PLAY THE LAMB IN THE WINDOW by Robert Finch Cast of Characters Mrs. Haley Reverend Edwards Mrs. Lathrop Mr. Brandon Mrs. Brandon Mr. Carruthers Mr. Jackson Mr. Ames Mr. Ruthford Narrator Patsy Horstman Lowell Brower Jean Stock Jim Meyer Janice Turin Roger Barkley Danny Hansen Richard Treman Vern Ogden Nancy Rector The Place: A little church in a village in the green hills. The Time: A Saturday evening in early spring. THE LAMB IN THE WINDOW is a down-to-earth story portraying several typical town folk of a small village at a weekly church board meeting, and their indignation toward the church and their pastor. In the absence of the preacher, the members resolve to request the Reverend to resign. Upon his appearance, he states that he is resigning and explains his feelings, whereupon the board leaves. They return, however, after having reconsidered their action, and express their desire to have him continue to serve their parish. 56 'a. .

The Future Farmers of America is an integral part of the vocational agriculture course. It is an intra-curricular activity having its origin and root in a definite part of the school curriculum. No national student organization en- joys greater freedom of self-government under adult counsel and guidance, than the F. F. A. The foundation upon which the F. F. A. organization is built includes leadership and character development, sportsmanship, cooperation, community service, thrift, scholarship, im- proved agriculture, organized recreation, citizenship and patriotism. During the past year various activities have been sponsored, or participated in, by vocational agriculture students, or members of the local F. F. A. Additional activities are being planned and prepared for at this time. The first F. F. A. sponsored activity was a family-son picnic. The picnic was held at Lake View with a large number of families attending. In August, many of the members exhibited prize win- ning livestock at the local, Sac County, and Clay County Fairs. Winners at these fairs were: LaDon Bernhardt, Mar- lin Gunderson,Carol Herrig, LaDon Hoefling, Gary l-logue, Roger Kies, Keith McDonough, Jim Meyer, and Rollyn Stehr. Jim Meyer also had very high placings at the State Fair. The baby beef owned by Carol Herrig placed very high at the Interstate Livestock Show held at Sioux City. Other F. F. A. achievements were: F. F. A. meetings, held twice monthlyga concession stand at theCommunity Fair, a float that received a second prize at the parade held in connection with the community fair. Ronnie Sal- monson was one of the candidates for the national F. F. A. band. Preparations are being made for a parent and son ban- quet, seed and soil testing service to farmers, seed potato sales, District and State F, F. A. contests, and numerous other worthwhile achievements. F. F. A. officers for the first semester were Dale Lin- man, president, Bill Wolfe, vice-president, Keith Mc- Donough, secretarygRonnie Salmonson, treasurerglim Tap- horn, reporter, and George Roeder, sentinel. Officers for the second semester are LaDon Hoefling, president, Bill Wolfe, vice-president, Bill Brown, secretary, Gordon l-laefner, treasurer, Jim Taphorn, reporter, and Gary Ho- gue, sentinel. There were 34 members in the local F. F. A. chapter: 9 seniors, 5 juniors, 17 sophomores, and 3 freshmen. 'Q E RICA av., wi Q l 0 O 'V N xg? X 'Q . FA.

I953 TROJAN STAFF In following our school tradition of publishing an an- nual, the class of '53 elected three top staff members at the end of their Junior year. Lowell Brower, Vern Ogden, and Joan Lundell were elected to fill the respective posi- tions of editor, assistant editor, and business manager. Chosen at the beginning of the '52-'53 school year were ten other staff members for the important jobs essential to the success of our yearbook. DeLoris Cowlharn and Lois Landgraf were responsible for the layout of the pictures and print on every page of this book. Danny Hansen and Janice Stehr took charge of the photography and were responsible for the many pictures needed in our yearbook publication. Audrey Beuhler exercised her skill and nimble fingers at the typewriter and produced all copy for publication. Bob Hart and Bernie Bengford assumed the responsibil- ity of obtaining financial support of our TROJAN by soliciting the business men of this and neighboring com- munities. Jim Meyer, Dale Linman and Mary Ella Youngren, handled the sale of subscriptions and organized the tradi- tional sales carnival. Miss Bruce, selected unanimously by the annual staff and senior class as sponsor, contributed her knowledge, experience, time, and energy in aiding the staff. With the cooperation of the entire student body we have suc- ceeded in producing the 1953 Trojan. TROJAN SALES CARNIVAL I953 We are proud of our record and we are grateful to our Administration and a faculty who have helped us achieve it. SEQ O Q 1 F ll Ed 0' I 1 DMINISTRATIO Bartley G.

POTTEIGER, ,IEWELER RAY'S CASH MARKET Lake View SELBY INSURANCE AGENCY SKELLY SERVICE TRUDEAU STANDARD SERVICE As Editor of this yearbook, I am privileged to say it was indeed a wonderful experience to have worked with every member of the staff in the production of this, the 1953 Trojan. On behalf of the staff, I would like to thank those who, in part, were responsible for the book. I am quite certain that without the guidance and able assistance of Miss Rosmer Bruce our annual would have failed to be what is it. She contributed much of her time and knowledge and met our problems with adequate solutions. Consequently, I feel she should re- ceive high recognition. I would like to repeat our appreciation for the support and financial assistance received from the business men of Ode- bolt and surrounding communities whom we recognized in the dedication. Much of our gratitude is extended to these individuals for their help and added courtesies: Mr. Dahlstrom for his photography and for the use of his camerag Mr. Ogden for his advice on matters concerning pro- motion of this annual, Mr. Hedstrom, our company representative, for his cooperation and advice on publication essentialsg Marilyn Schultz for her drawings on our division pages, and Robert Hummel for his help on photography. Last, but not least, thanks to the students of Odebolt High for their contribution of pictures and their support of the yearbook. I can say wholeheartedly that the members of the annual staff are deserving of any praise they receive for their efforts. They can be proud of the fact that they met the challenge of producing a yearbook with such complete unanimity. We seniors, completing our high school careers, wish the succeed- ing seniors as much success and enjoyment as has been ours throughout our final year. Lowell Brower, Editor -in-chief 72 1 5 -1 I.
