E. LOPGREEN, D.D.S. CLASS OF '57 HISTORY In September of 1953, Pawnee City High School was “honored” with the addition of 45 new little confused freshmen. We elected as our President, Carita Eggleston; Vice-President, Barbara Bowhay; Secretary-Treasurer, Joan Rinne; and Janice Hallberg as our Student Council Representative. This year we ran the teachers ragged with paper planes, notes, paper wads, and tacks on seats. Our sponsor was Mr. Larson. Since our funds were very low we had a com- bined party with the sophomores which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. We came back the second year with a class of 40 dignified sophomores. Our new officers were: President, Joan Rinne; Vice-President, Allen Synder; Secretary-Treasurer, Ronald Habegger; Student Council, Clark Hunzeker. Mrs. Dovel and Miss Watson attempted to be our sponsors. We had now become essential parts of the high school and acted accordingly. We started our junior year under the leadership of Allen Snyder, President; Pamela Fields, Vice-President; Ronnie Gilmore, Secretary-Treasurer; Charles Johnson and Carol Thompson, Student Council. Our sponsors were Mr. Oberg and Mrs. Eckman. Under the direction of Mrs. Bfatt we presented our class play “If Mother Only Knew” which was quite a success. The 39 members of our class entertained the seniors at the Junior-Senior Banquet with Lavender and Old Lace” as the theme. In September 1956, we became the so-called leaders” of the school. We were seniors at long last and how we ever made it is the question. We now had a class of 39 with Lou Haver- kamp, President; Gerald Schultz, Vice-President; Clark Hunzeker, Secretary-Treasurer; Barbara Bowhay and Allen Snyder, Student Council Our sponsors were Mrs. Bran and Mr. Winter. The big events of this year included the carnival sneak day, our play, Junior-Senior Banquet, Bac- calaureate, and last, but by no means least, Commencement. We didn’t quite understand just what it meant to be seniors until with solemn tread and measured step we marched down the aisles. It was the last time we would all be assembled in one group. As we think back over the many happy hours we have had in school, we find it has not been the terrible task we thought it was; but a wonderful experience which we shall always remember. CLASS FLOWER Red Rose CLASS COLORS Rose and Silver CLASS MOTTO The higher we climb, the broader the view. CLASS WILL We, the senior class of 1957, for the following reasons, dedicate the following, to the following under- classmen, as follows: First, to the class of 1958, we willour feeling of seniority and hope you will have as much fun in your senior year as we have had in ours. Second, to all underclassmen, we will all our memories of tests, first dates, teachers, crammed lockers, books, important activities, broken pencils, and all other vivid memories that were pressed upon us. Ronald Habegger wills his ability to dance to all future patrons of the ZCJ3J hall. Carol Thompson wills her light complexion and blond hair to Betty Hinrichsen. Peroxide might help, Betty. Norma McClintock wills her curly hair to Lyle Hess. Try a Toni, Lyle, it might help. Eldon Jameson wills his broom and dustpan to anyone who loves to pick up marbles. Dennis Shaffer wills his athletic build to Marion McCalL Wheaties might do the trick, Marion! Doris Tegtmeier wills her gift of gab to all underclassmen. It is too much for any one person. Charles Johnson wills his ability of making passes to Harold Howard. We mean football passes, Harold! Janice Edgerton wills her talking ability to Joyce Edgerton. It’s nice to keep it in the family. Joan Rinne leaves for college and a better supply of males!! Mary Chauza leaves her 4-cylinder giggle to Kay Ellen Parli. Don’t let it run loose. Kay! Dan Hopper wills his ability to go steady for two years to Bette Warnke. Now whom will the boys take home? Ronnie Gilmore wills his angelic appearance to Steven Avery. Looks can be so deceiving. Jim Adams leaves his ability to give impromptu speeches to all future speech students who don't believe in studying either. Burton Straub slowly ambles out the door and leaves - hoping never to return!! Elane Bredemeier wills her typing ability to Conlee. Won’t it be nice to see an A on your report card, Conlee? David Daniel leaves because of the draft board. Albert Larsen wills his job of student manager to anyone who can stand it. Barbara Bowhay leaves all of Jim’s letters to next year’s Pawneean Staff. Won’t the paper sell now!! Gerald Schultz leaves his theory of “No dates, more spending money’’ to Dick Anderson. Poor Dick has so much trouble with his love affairs. Shirley Blecha wills her quiet way to, of all people, Barry Granden. Thank heavens! Right, Mrs. Dovel? Lou Haverkamp (by request) wills Mr. Thompson twenty dollars for a new porch swing. Things will wear out you know, Lou. Juanita Sommerhalder wills her dependability to all underclassmen. This should solve a lot of problems around schooL Marilyn Findeis wills her pep and enthusiasm to next year’s Pep Club. That should last them through the year. Reva Klee wills her clarinet to the highest bidder. Secretly, Eve heard it isn’t worth much. John Kotalik wills his fame for thrilling love affairs to Dip Daniel You’ve got a good start Dipl! Francis Peacock wills his ability to belateto band almost every morning to Judy Blencha. I hope you can think up excuses as fast as Francis could, Judy! Mary Williams leaves with a future in view as evidenced by her diamond. Joan Blencha wills her ability to remain busy in study hall for 60 minutes to Jim Stewart. You can relax now. Miss Aden. Larry Phelan wills his sudden brain storms to Joan Hunzeker. As if she needs them!! Sharon Jones wills her cheery smile to Dale Mach. Try saying “Cheese”, Dale. Loren Murdock wills his seat in American History to anyone who can remember the name of the American Observer article. Alder Caswell leaves with a look of amazement in his eyes!! Robert Larson leaves all thoughts of school far behind. Ardith Kussman wills her position on the volleyball team to Tom Colwell. Well girls this is your chance. Won’t he look cute in shorts??? Pamela Fields wills her ability to play the piano to Elmer Dean. Now he won’t have to spend his money having Joann Hunzeker teaching him. Allen Snyder wills his position as an eligible bachelor to Leonard Bertwell. You've got a good start Leonard. Lewis Flanagin wills his aloofness to women to the Larsen twins. There’ll be some changes made now; right, girls? Clark Hunzeker wills his ability to argue over nothing to Betsy Herries. Bob Vrtiska can’t bear to leave his witty remarks behind so he takes them with him. Won’t school be dull without them? CLASS PROPHECY Since we, Reva Klee and Marilyn Findeis, had cleared $8,000,000 on our bachelors’ home in New York, we decided to make a tour of the world. We called Bob’s Speedy Taxi to take us to the rocketport. In two minutes Bob Vrtiska was at our door. In five minutes we were at the “Die Young Fast” rocketport operated by Dan Hopper. He told us that he had gone into partnership with John Kotalik, who operates the “From Here to Eternity” mortuary. As we dashed to get our tickets, we collided with Janice Edgerton, who told us that she was employed by the President, and that she was running for President on the Powder Puff Ticket in the next election. When we were settled in our rocket and in the air for about an hour, our gyroyrister went dead. We made a forced landing in a strange country, which we decided to tour. We noticed signs reading Northern Heights, Western Vistas, Eastern Rendezvous, and Southern Isles, so we decided to visit these places. In Eastern Rendezvous, we bumped into Joan Blecha, Sharon Jones, and Ardith Kussman who were dancers in “Finny’s Follies,” owned by Larry Phelan. We entered a shop called “Little Chinatown” where we met Elane Bredemeier, who was wearing a silk kimomo. She told us that she raises silk worms and makes her own clothes. After walking several blocks, we met Clark Hunzeker in the midst of his fifty beautiful wives. He told us that Dave Daniel had grown a beard and become a stock holder in the Smith Brothers Company. Next we toured Northern Heights, were we found Allen Snyder raising goats. After consuming three quarts of goats’ milk we continued walking. We finally found an eating place, the Bon Bon Sweet Shoppe, owned and operated by Gerald Schultz. A few blocks away we discovered our old friend, Robert Larson, selling 5-way reverberator air pressure units. He was such a high-pressure salesman that we found our- selves purchasing one. Suddenly reaching a frigid and icy land, we hired Burton Straub’s dog team to take us to a higher altitude where we found Norma McClintock, now a home economics instructor. She was working on a new product called Blubber Bubble Gum, made from the blubber of a native animaL We learned that Western Vistas was 35 miles east of there, so we bought tickets for Chauza’s Choice Cruise, which was operated by Mary Chauza. On the ship we met Loren Murdock, captain of the ship, who offered to show us around. When we arrived in Western Vistas, wenoticeda huge building and discovered that it was the Govern- mental House of Confusion under the rule of the Poor Administrator. Carol Thompson. She is so per- suasive that she got a law passed to allow women to lie legally about their age. While strolling down a suburban street, we spotted Ronnie Gilmore talking to a young couple. Later we found that Ronnie is a marriage counselor. Next we noticed a sign reading, “See the New Super-Sonic Piano, Starring Pamela Fields.” As we passed the door of the building we overheard her playing the D Minor Symphony from Outer Space. Ready to start on our way, we saw a limousine pull up to the curb and Francis Peacock get out. We learned that he was a scientist and had just invented “Space Struck,” a new lipstick in dynamic shades of jade green and mustard yellow. He told us to be sure to attend the bullfight scheduled to start in a few minutes. We hurried to the arena where we found Jim Adams as the challenger. Just as we were seated, who should come by but the “peanuts, popcorn, crackerjack man. Chuck Johnson. In the exit of the arena we discovered Joan Rinne, who disclosed that she was planning a trip to the moon to prove her theory that it is not made of green, whole-cured cheese, but of green cottage 'cheese. As we left the arena, we passed the famous ”Lou the Jew Pool Room.” Lou Haverkamp had Dennis Shaffer by the collar and was ready to heave him out, but he politely waited until we had passed. In the Southern Isles, we found Albert Larsen as a movie director. One of his best movies was Nothing But Trouble, which starred Eldon Jameson and Doris Tegtmeier. Doris told us that her dentist was Barbara Fay, who operates her husband Jim’s dentistry business while he is in the Navy. After leaving Doris, we collided with Ronnie Habegger, the owner of the famous dance hall, Drink and Drop.” Just around the corner, we met Juanita Sommerhalder, the head psychologist at the You Are Crazy” nut house. Right behind her we saw Lew Flanagin, the famous hula dance instructor. In the dense foliage on the other side of the city, we found Shirley Blecha patiently teaching the natives not to lick their lips before the next meal’s main course. Continuing our journey through the jungle, we came upon a golden palace. Here we found Mary Bennett, who told us that her husband was the governor of the cannibals and that she was instructing the cannibals in up-to-date etiquette and flirtation. After leaving Mary and her husband, we came to a clearing, and there was our rocket ready to continue its journey. We were indeed ready to leave this strange and mysterious country. As we left we had to confess that we had had an exciting and thrilling time meeting all of our old classmates and seeing what course each one’s life had taken.
