SECOND ROW: Ronny Hotek, Karen Hudson, Charles Volf, Darlene Buffinton, Shirley Hotek, Willie Swanson The battle of grades and fun To each we gave our time And afbout our class members We will try a little rhyme . The artist in our class Is Ronny with his long black car, He is always willing to help us , And we hope that he'l1 go far. Next in order is Shirley, The party-giving kid, Her folks are oh-so patient And never blow their lid. Another senior is Gene , A dark handsome roving lad, And he says quite often, I need the car tonight, Dad. Colleen is the truest, With short dark curly hair, And wherever her guy is , She wishes she were there . Betty never says too much About the things we do , But she is one of us, And we will miss her too. A left-handed lad is Charlie: The Plymouth car is the rage , And with Charles' blond hair A battle he does wage . Senior Poem A girl that always has a smile And boy friends by the tens Is our own classmate Darlene , With her many, many friends. A quiet friendly lad is Don, To him we give our thanks For all the times he's helped us In all our fun and pranks. Karen is our brain, She goes for men real tall: Her analysis is The taller, the harder they fall. A blue-eyed blonde in our class Is Ioyce , the starry-eyed kid, She sings, she laughs, she plays, And over Bob she has flipped her lid! I5 Q IM G53 DMI fff Qlllllhx !

M. , Monday, September 1 , 1943, for active duty in Otho School. These letters of notice were received by Ioyce Peterson 055389518 , Shirley Hotek 055380510 , Colleen McCarty 05289520, and Bula lean Slotten 055389521 . They entered Boot Camp , and with a little help from their parents they graduated as privates. Though never being too attached to any of their buddies , when Corporal Karen Hudson 054218341 was transferred 'from a base at Fort Dodge and Corporal Ronny Hotek 053421833 joined them, they all became friends. Arriving in time to receive their pro- motions to Buck Sergeant were Darlene Buffinton 053467439 from a base in Pocahontas , Gene Leonard 05 3679439 , formerly stationed at Coalville, Don Halligan 053548437 from a base in Fort Dodge, and Charles Volf 05343785 , Betty Vicini 053730448 , and William Swanson 0415687456, transferred from a base at Clayworks. They received their earned promotions as the years went by, and then to even it up , Lieutenant Don Ourth joined the gang from a base at Ottosen. For their last four years the thirteen buddies spent most of their time giving orders to non-commissioned officers. Retiring as Five Star Generals in May of 1956 , they will climax their careers in the service of Otho High School. mi' c 5 'D M Q. ' 4 I . ,am Q. N Q ...Q N.

Pre sident 72744614242 Vice -President zg-nw Secretary 54.4112 Trea surer Class Prophecy The ye-ar is now 1976 and, within the twenty years since. 1956, Science has taken over the world. Scientists have made a world that is completely controlled by the atom . Everything is done by a slight touch of a button. They have also discovered methods of communing with the outer worlds. At the present time the U. S. Government has de- cided to send a Space Ship to Mars with some of the top specialists of the different professions in the U. S. The purpose of this expedition is to study and exchange cultures of the two worlds. I'm Betty Vicini, news reporter for the New York Times in New York City . My assignment is to interview the passengers who will go on this trip to Mars. Oh! It's 7 A. M . That leaves only two hours for me to get over to the Space Ship Depot and ask the passengers a few questions about their adventure. I'm now standing outside the Space Ship Marcip and some of the passengers are coming up to board the ship. We'll talk to a few of these persons as they pass by me. The first gentleman we see is Dr. Donald D. Ourth, M. D. , and with him is his assistant nurse, Shirley Hotek. What do you think of this trip , Doctor? Well, Ithink that it's just grand , and I believe that we shall come back with valuable information for our world, not only in medicine, but in all professions. The next two persons are very notable to all the professions. They are Ronny Hotek , Artist and Joyce Peterson, Metropolitan Opera Star. These next two gentlemen are Chalres Volf, Agricultural Director of Iowa State College, and Willie Swanson, Professor of Engineering at Louisville University. Coming up now is a very attractive lady. Your name , please? Karen Hudson. I'm a secretary for Senator Wallace, from Ohio. Next? I'm Colleen McCarty, food nutri- tionist for Conrad Hilton Hotels . The time is very short now, so we must ask very quickly the name and occupations of this last group of people. They are Don Halllgan, who is a Student Lawyer at Vermillion, South Dakota: Darlene Buffinton, Graduate Beau- tician for a school in New York , and now make-up artist for M . G.M . Studios in Holly- wood. American Interpreter for United Nations is Bula lean Slotten and Gene Leonard, an Atomic Scientist. Well, so long everybodyp the unknown awaits us. 1 NIIERGRMIS E S x :Y 1 2 wg , H F h JU IOR ClASS 11.4511 a uid, !
