To an out- sider, yes, this is just another building - but to the students of Pella High School it means much, much more. The friends made here, the achievements won, the disap- pointments suffered ibut wisdom gainedy, and knowledge acquired here have made PHS a very special building. It would be hard to forget the crowded halls . . . the hours wasted during study hall . . . the assemblies . . . the excitement of a close game . . . the detention slips . . . the bumpy bus rides . . . cramming for tests . . . the discussions in class . . . the mad scramble for the door . . . And so, here is your book, the 1957 DUCHESS, which we give to you so that you will never forget this past year in good old PHS. ..

' dm ed A Q LARRY VAN HALEN TOM GAARD Co-Captain Co-Captain SEASON RES UME The Little Dutch of Pella High had their most successful football season in recent years, with five wins, two losses, and a tie. They finished third in the strong South Central Iowa Conference. Pella mixed a powerful running attack with some good passing to make an offense that was hard to stop, The team was especially noted for their ability to come from behind and win the game with only seconds remaining.

LEROY DEN BESTEN KEITH BLOM RONALD BOGAARD DIRK VAN GORP 4 u 0 INDIANOLA CASHES IN ON PELLA FUMBLE FOR 6-0 VICTORY Pella High's Little Dutch outran, out- passed, and outdefensed, but couldn't out- score Indianola as they fell before the Indi- ans 6-0. A Pella receiver fumbled a punt, and Indianola recovered on Pel1a's 24-yard line. Pel1a's defense failed to hold as Indianola ground out the remaining yards for a TD. Pella got inside the 10-yard line three times but never could manage to score. PELLA THROTTLES SIGOURNEY 27-6 The Pella Little Dutch bounced back in- to the winning column by pounding out a 27-6 win over non-conference rival Sigourney Quarterback Butch Sheppard led the Pella attack, scoring the first Pella touchdown on a quarterback sneak. He also threw touch- down passes to Den Besten and Van Roekel. Pella's defense was excellent, limiting Sigourney to only two first downs. PELLA RALLIES FOR 19-14 LAST-QUARTER VICTORY The Little Dutch scored on an 11-yard pass play from Sheppard to Van Halen with less than two minutes remaining to slip past a stubborn Albia 19-14. Pella scored first, but Albia scored twice in the third quarter for a 14-7 lead. Pella added a TD and were behind 14-13 until the final TD.

WINTERSET BOWS TO RAMPANT LITTLE DUTCHMEN 13-6 Pella High defeated Winterset 13-6 as they picked up their second conference win and moved into a tie for second place in the SCIC. The Little Dutch took a 6-0 lead in the second quarter as Sheppard passed to Van Halen for the score. The same combina- tion clicked again in the third quarter on a 10-yard pass play. PELLA EDGES CHARITON IN 8-'7 THRILLER Pella High downed Chariton 8-'7 in a thrilling victory as they blocked a punt in the last minute in Chariton's end zone. This gave them a safety and two points which won the game. Pella had scored earlier in the last quarter, overcoming a '7-0 halftime lead by Chariton. This was probably one of the most thrill- ing games ever seen on the local field. 7 Wdetofzq CARROLL POPE HARLEY VAN ROEKEL BUTCH SHEPPARD DUANE DE VRIES Van Gorp recovers a fumble. PELLA, KNOXVILLE BATTLE TO 20-20 TIE Knoxville tied Pella 20-20 in a clash of Intracounty rivals. The Panthers' running game was at its best as they led 20-'7 going into the last quarter when Pella finally got into gear. Pella 's scoring came on a 14-yeard pass from Sheppard to Bogaard in the first quarter, the same two on a 47-yeard aerial in the fourth, and Van I-lalen's plunge of four yards for the tying score with one minute left in the game. FIRST HALF SCORES LET DUTCH PAST CENTERVILLE 13-0 Pe11a's Little Dutch struck twice in the first half on long drives to down Centerville 13-0 and stay close behind Indianola in the SCIC race before a huge homecoming crowd at Pella. The first score came on a 765 yard march in the first quarter with Sheppard going over from the one. In the second period, Den Besten caught a short pass from Sheppard for the final TD. PELLA UPSET 21-12 BY VALLEY A fired-up Valley High team beat Pella 21-12 in the final game of the season. Pella played about its worst football of the season in the first half as they allowed Valley to score three TD's. Pella raised the score on a 25-yard pass and again in the fourth quarter with a short plunge.
