Its presentation is a pleasure and the student body hopes its readers will enjoy it and keep the year book an annual publication in the future. Bigger and better Mirrors is our wish -for they reflect actual school life. DEDICATION To a Community with untold spirit In the great things of life, building for the education ot youth and the adult life in the way of community sponsored enterprises, we earnestly dedicate this first ed1t1on of the MIRROR hoping that an all school annual will be a permanent publication as long as a public school is maintained. The progress of our school depends greatly on the attitude of our community and its patrons.

This equipment has enabled us to make publications from time to time. ln the past we have written for the Marion County News, but this year we have tried to keep the readers posted every week about the various activities. In order to become acquainted with the new equipment, the beginning shorthand class put out one edition of a little paper known as the Pen and Key. l'robably for the first time in the history of the school we have published a school paper. lt is known by the name 'ZAT-SO. lt is a weekly paper, published by the Office l'ractice Class. The 'Zi-YI'-SO is sent to twenty or more schools. llfe receive school papers from VVinterset, l'atterson, Truro, Knoxville. lllingo, Clarion, Simpson College, Central College, l'ella, lVlacksburg, llallas Center, Uouds, Hartford, DeSoto, Nevada and Newburg. Besides this we have received a request from a county-seat town near l'leasantville to write news for them. At present we are in no position to do so. but in a short time hope to fill their request. l.ast but not least of our publications is the annual. lfor this magnificent piece of work l'leasantville has the commercial department to thank. We have made programs, tournament booklets, etc. for the different occasions and have done a considerable amount of special jobs connected with office work. l.et's hope that the new school year will bring bigger and better publications from llleasantville. However, this will not be possible unless we have support from our reading public saying that they appreciate the work we are doing, and we mean there is plenty of work connected with these publications. 3 BOARD OF EDUCATION Left to Right: Floyd Campbell, Dave Waterman, Clyde Core fretiring presidentj, Ivan Miner, Guy Proffitt fretiring memberj, Don Batten, president Not in Picture: Harold Frey fretiring member,J Howard Myers., secretary, Chester Dyer, treasurer SCHOOL BOARD Many people do not realize the importance of the Board of liducation in the efficient operation and administration of a school.

This isn't all either, there have been several additions to the family group and of course these offspring already show a great future in sports. She has taught them to talk with their hands the way she always did when putting across her ideas on the basketball court. JOHN SCHIPPERSI As she has done before and is still doing, john's mother prays that his late arrival at work will not cause an unhappy future. john had his fun while he was young but he still occasionally perks up an interested eyebrow at some one passing by. MAR-IORIE SHEESLEY: Has taken her place among the career girls CNumber, pleaseb while still waiting for her certain someone to pop the question. She doesn't stay in one place long but has a natural ability for talking her way into any job, sometimes it's difficult for her to talk her way out of a tight spot. MILDRED KNOUSE: She is married to a certain Knoxville boy and they have several little Brooks on their farm. Midge is just as pretty and energetic as she was when in P. H. S. Teaching the little ones to sing and play the piano. In fact, she has two pianos to avoid the fights to see who practices first. MARY KARNS: Mary is a farmer's wife residing on a farm near Pleasantville. Has very cute little boys. Detests milking cows now as much as she did when a senior of P.H.S. Her three sons possess their mother's musical talent and plan to sing in the church choir. MARILYN BOOTH: Is a very efficient beauty operator. Still waiting for the right man to come around-perhaps a barber so they could continue this money-making business. Still interested in playing the piano. PHYLLIS CLARK: After a year or two of working, Phyllis has settled down with a very good-looking man and has those brown-eyed kids. She has decided they are big enough for a basketball and is teaching them her basketball knowledge. DALE ELLSWORTH: Professor of English at the University of Iowa. Leads a fairly quiet life evading those of the opposite sex and declares when lie settles down, she will be a college professor. PHYLLIS REED: Has captured her Ducky man. She still flies through her work, and usually has a good time doing it. As soon as she gets it done, she decides its time to go down town for a coke , She's still trying to write that book, and she may even get it done in the next few years. PHILIP RICHARDS: Still running around with anyone who wants a good time. Naturally he has not decided it is time to settle down, Philip still is trading horses, cars, and adding different breeds of cattle to his father's farm. He says he'd rather stay single and settle up. DARVIN REED: Darvin finally proved himself as a truck driver, is engaged to a Knoxville girl and still known by the name Sleepy, but he keeps awake when driving the semi-trailer stock trucks to Omaha and Chicago. Drives mostly at night because he likes the night air. LELAND SHAWVER: Although Leland showed signs of developing into a cultured play boy he nevertheless followed his father's footsteps. He and his brown-haired wife journey frequently to town in their airplane but their large farm takes a good deal of time and care. May they have many years of happiness together and lots of pigs and chickens, and little Shawversl! CARROLL TAYLOR: Has at this time had dozens of chances for a good fling at a love affair, but he has continued to be rather the conservative and reserved type. He apparently has it in him to make a big mark in the world, but with his looks and pace, it will last a long time and go a long way. Is a fruit peddler on the sidewalks of New York. ELOISE VANDER LINDEN: Is a great teacher in Pleasantville. Many is the school teacher who lays off and lets cupid cut in. Such may be true of Elly Mae. She still takes it easy, as she did in high school, and has lots of things done before anyone notices her, such as her knack in art. She still has her nice charming personality. LLOYD CORE: Married and has several tall, dark and handsome sons. Flies his airplane to all the Pure Bred Cattle Sales leaving his wife and sons home. His Main interest is still his wife.

At the first of the season it was a little tough-going for the girls, but as time passed the girls kept showing a great deal of improvement. The girls tied with Nlelcher for third place in the PU-WA-INIA Conference. In the county tournament the Trojanettes defeated Pella Christian in the first round, but were defeated by Attica in the second round. ln the sectional tournament they really showed their ability to play basketball. In the first round the game was a forfeit to the Trojanettes from Swan. The second round our girls played Milo. after being defeated by Milo twice in the season. The girls came back at Milo strong and defeated them which proved to be an unusually good game. In the semi-final round the girls defeated Nlelcher, in a closely fought game, winning hy three points and going into the final round. meeting the strong Carlisle sextette. Carlisle came at the girls very strong and the Trojanettes' dreams were shattered, but a runner-up trophy is in the trophy case, at least. We are hoping that the success this year will help bring victory next season in conference play. During five years of girls' basketball in the Pleasantville High School, this is the first they have been successful in reaching the final round of a sectional tournament. The girls won six games and lost twelve. Total Scores for PHS 450. Total Scores for Opponents 674.

During her two years of basketball she has come to almost every practice which helps to show her good sportsmanship. In spite of her height the Trojanettes have Mariann to look forward to in their future years. MAXINE RANKIN moved from Delta at mid-year and joined the Trojanettes. While in Delta 'she was on the first string. The Trojanettes can look forward to her ability on next years team. SHIRLEY .PHILLIPS has played basketball ever since entering high school. She did some good guarding this year, even though she was a little inexperienced. She played better ball at the end of the year than at the first. , MARjORIE LAMB has been out for basketball since her Freshman year. She was first substitute in her first year of basketball and played on the first string her junior year. She is a very reliable guard and will be with the Trojanettes another season. LEOTA 'NELSON has been out for basketball three years. ln her junior year she was in the starting six until she received a knee injury which kept her out of play a few weeks. MARY VINSON has played basketball all through her high school career. She has been a member of the first six, two years. Mary is a dependable guard and helped bring home many victories. Mary's voice has been greatly endangered by her good support of the teams. BEATRICE RODDA has played four years on the basketball team. Her first year she was first substitute and her other three years she has belonged to the first squad. She has helped bring home the victories which the girls are proud to claim. Tiny, known to us, was a very dependable guard during her four years. PHYLLIS CLARK has played basketball four seasons. She has belonged to the Trojanette's sextette for the last two years. Phyllis is a girl who likes to be told what she is doing wrong. dln all her four years of basketball she has always been in their fighting to the very en . ' MARVELYN BOOTH played basketball during her senior year. Starting the last year didn't give her much time to get very far in her basketball career. But she loved the game and kept up her work with the squad in addition to other activities. Marvelyn played guard. ,IUNE JOHNSON is a junior this year and has played on the first team since entering high school. In her junior high years she played on the second string which gave her some very fine experience. june is one of the good forwards which helped us bring home the victories for this year. This is her third year of playing with the first sextette, but she has another year ahead of her which will be a great help to the Pleasantville Trojanettes. .IANICE COWMAN has played basketball since her Freshman year. She is a good forward and really fast when she gets out and runs. She will no doubt have a permanent position on the squad of next year. janice has been among the starting six several times this year and has contributed to our victories. ACCOUNT OF BASKETBALL SEASON IBOYSQ After just two weeks drill before the first game, the Trojans started off the season with an overwhelming victory over Monroe, and then dropped three in a row, two by a considerable margin. Starting off in our conference race, we downed Runnells with a score of 5l-ll. Our return game with Monroe was considerably closer than the first one, and we found we had to work hard to win from then on out. We applied the pressure on Carlisle, realizing it was the deciding game of the conference, and came through with a wide margin. Melcher gave us our closest game in the race, however, which we won by a score of 28-25. Sparked by a will to win the conference, and a trophy for our showcase, we played our hardest in the return games, of which Carlisle and Melcher were the toughest. We came through with victories though, most of them games that indicated Pleasantville had come back to life on the basketball court. We finished off the conference with eight wins, no defeats, to own the first perfect record in the history of the PO-WA-MA Conference. Included in this conference are: Runnells in Polk county, Carlisle and Milo in Warren, and Pleasantville and Melcher in Marion. We drew Pella in the county tourna- CHEERLEADERS ment, and after a close battle all the way, dropped a thriller to the Dutch by a score of 33-27. We began building up all our efforts to meet them in the sectional tournament a few weeks later. The night of the game that was to be the game of the season, found the Trojans weakened by flu. Three of the first five were weakened considerably but mustered enough energy to play a tough, nip and tuck battle along with the other players and gave the spec- tators a real game for their money. After leading Pella all the way we dropped a 38-36 decision in an overtime. 22 BOYS BASKETBALL Back Row: Coach jack Padilla, Lloyd Core, Francis Dunham, Harley Shook, Ronald Van Ryswyk, Gene johnson, Darvin Reed Middle Row: Bobby Stubbs.

All the team will remember the two large ponds in the middle of the gridiron where each player took a late summer swim. A large group followed the Trojans despite the unsatisfactory weather. PLEASANTVILLE I3-JOHNSTON 6 Playing only in spurts, the Trojans scored in the second quarter when Van Ryswyk went over on line plays and then converted to make the score 7 'to 0. Johnston came back strong and on the old time sleeper play passed over the Trojans to score but failed to convert the extra point making the half time score 7 to 6. ln the third quarter johnston twice brought the ball to Pleasant- ville's l0-yard line with downs, first and goal to go, but with super human effort our line held and then took over. Again in the fourth quarter johnston brought the ball to the Trojan 6-yard line but were held there again. Then with revenge we struck back. With the time running close, Stubbs on two long runs took the ball to the johnston I5-yard mark. Then with 20 seconds to play, Van Rysywk went over the goal line from the I5-yard line. The conver- sion for the point was missed leaving the score 13 to 6. PLEASANTVILLE 0-WINTERSET 7 The arm of fate caught the Trojans on their Homecoming with Winterset. Facing a large. well coached Winterset eleven, the Pleasantville team ran into bad luck. Win- terset intercepted a Trojan pass in the first quarter and ran it back to our goal line. Two plays later, Winterset scored and con- verted for a score of 7 to 0. Then, fighting back, the Trojans set Stubbs loose and after running 35 yards through the whole Winterset team, he scored, only to have it nullified by a man in motion penalty. As the game went into the last half both teams fought their utmost and as a result four Winterset men were injured so badly they had to be carried from the field. Then Ron Van Ryswyk was kicked in the head so badly he was taken from the game and to the hospital where he only recovered sufficiently to play in the last game of the season. Even though the Trojans dropped the decision to Winterset, they were certainly not outfought or outplayed. This game was one of the roughest and hardest games ever played on the Trojan gridiron. PLEASANTVILLE 35-MELCHER 0 After a rough first quarter the score was only 6 to 0 in favor of the Trojans. Stubbs ran over for the score. In the second quarter Harley Shook intercepted a shovel pass and ran lZ yards for a touchdown. Van Ryswyk converted and the score was I3 to 0. In the third quarter Clyde Fouch pinned a Melcher back behind his goal and the score was then I5 to 0. After a sustained drive, Van Ryswyk plunged to the l0-yard line and flagged a lateral to Stubbs who scored again. Van Ryswyk again kicked the extra point. and the score rose to ZZ to 0. ln the fourth quarter, Van Ryswyk and Stubbs set up a touchdown to the Melcher l-foot line, where Leland Thornburg went over untouched. Melcher put up a desperate passing attack, but Van Ryswyk interce ted one of their passes and went 64 yards beliind beautiful blocking to score. He again con- vgrted, and the game ended with the score 3 to U. PLEASANTVILLE 7-SIGOURNEY 47 The Sigourney eleven had a royal holiday when the weakened Trojans challenged them. The Trojans went on the field with three regulars inactive. One of them, Ron Van Ryswyk, was still under doctor's orders not to play. Although john Schippers did a fine job calling signals for the team, Van's back- field running was missed. Early in the first quarter, Sigourney scored and Pleasantville struck back with Stubbs going over for a touchdown. We then con- verted with the score tied 7 to 7. But then johnson at left end received a cut so bad it severed an artery and he retired from the game. With two first line men gone and two first team backfield men out, Pleasant- ville bowed under the attacks. Many of the Trojans will remember Phil Michel, No. lZ, an ex-serviceman. He was the fire of the Sigourney team and was highly respected by his Pleasantville oppon- ents. His running and passing bore the burst of the attack and ran the score up against the Trojans. Bob Stubbs was hurt in the second quarter and thus the Trojan eleven was now without sting . Much credit must be given to our ll0-pound substitute quarterback, Leland Thornburg, who made some nice sneaks over center. Max Worthington proved valuable as a fine punter and on defense. PLEASANTVILLE 7-MONTEZUMA 28 Led by Baltisberger, a fleet-footed halfback, Montezuma ran wild in the last quarter to blast Pleasantville in the last game of the season. ' ln the first quarter Montezuma rolled to the Trojan four-yard line but lost the ball on a fumble. Then in the second quarter Montezuma took over and on line drives went over for a touchdown. The score at half time gave Montezuma a 7-0 lead. ln the third quarter Van Ryswyk took a punt and ran 52 yards to the Montezuma I2-yard line and a few plays later went over making the score 7-7. Then Baltisberger, who really sparked the Montezuma team, ran wild. Setting up one touchdown and then making two himself he ran the score up on the Trojans, the final score being Z8-7. The season's record shows 3 wins and 3 losses. All the boys were happy to have Coach Padilla as their leader. He did a fine job and trained his boys well. The boys who will graduate are: Don Burns, Lee Dubes, Carroll Taylor, Bob Van Zee, Ron Van Ryswyk, Bob Stubbs, john Schippers, Lloyd Core, Darvin Reed and Dale Ells- worth. Their fight and spirit will be sadly missed next year. tw Back Row : Middle Row : Front Row: FIRST FOOTBALL TEAM IN 1902 Henry Spalti, George Wright.

FOOTBALL Back Row 1 Arlen Dop, Darvin Reed, Max Worthington, Billy Lester, Marvin Shephard, Lloyd Core Norman Ramsey, Harley Shook. james Kendrick Middle- Row: Coach ,lark Padilla, Ronald Van Ryswyk, john Srhippers, Carroll Taylor, Bobby Stubbs, First Row: Donnie Niffenegger, Gene johnson, Francis Dunham Clyde Fouch,Bobby Van Zee, Leland Thornburg 25 till, FOOTBALL PERSONALITIES LLOYD CORE: Lloyd held down the right end of the Trojan line. He caught some high passes and made some very low tackles. Lloyd had a very good fighting spirit which he turned loose on every opposing team. CLYDE FOUCH: Only sophomore to make the first team. Clyde's right tackle position was hard to move. He liked it best when it was roughest and was quite a ball hawk . Many a fumble was recovered by Clyde's 'fheads-up playing. He will be one of the main Stars next year. HARLEY SHOOK: One of the four juniors on the first eleven. Harley liked to dish it out. He has held down his right guard position as a regular for two years. Harley proved to many opponents that he had power and knew how to use it. jACK SCHIPPERS: Skip's centering was near perfect on the offense. He also proved to be a good signal caller in emergencies. As the right line backer, his speed made him a good pass defense man, and he packed enough wallop to jar many an opposing backfield man coming his way. RON VAN RYSWYK: Ron has earned 4 letters in football, and was honorary captain of the l945 team. His kicking, passing, power, and speed made him the Blanchard of the team. He was the 'field general and one of the best ball carriers. He scored several touchdowns, then kicked the conversions. DARVIN REED came back to the gridiron this season very much improved. He ran as a blocking and wing back. His position will he vacated this year by his graduation. BOBBY STUBBS: Robert was elected Honorary Captain for the past season. A shifty scat-back, his speed and fancy side-stepping was too much for many a would-be-tackler. He was a vicious defensive man, and in some instances the Davis of the Pleasantville team. He has earned four letters in football. ,He was responsible for several touchdowns during the season. CARROLL TAYLOR: A very determined player, held down left guard very well this season. Carroll, being a senior, leaves the gridiron this year. FRANCISDUNHAM: Ham , a junior, played left tackle. He gained much valuable experience this year and promises to be great next year. He did his full share in holding determined opponents in check. GENE JOHNSON: Gene's first year at football proved to be very successful. Another junior, his speed made him a constant threat to opponents. Running from left end he scored the first touchdown on a pass. He was also a good defensive end. DONNIE NlFFENEGGER: Donnie will also be around next year. He played right half on offense and defense. His defensive play was good and his clean playing made him well liked. HONORABLE MENTION Here are those who trained just as hard and who bore the brunt of the first team attack at practice, but because of their size or inexperience just didn't quite make the first team grade. Most all of these boys saw action in some games: Bob Van Zee, Dale Ellsworth, Don Burns, Leland Thornburg, jack Thornburg, Billy Lester, Norman Ramsey, Delmar Ramsey, Larry Worthington, Max Worthington, Marvin Shepherd, Arlen Dop, Phillip Proffit, jim Kendrick, Lee Dubes. 26 SEVENTH GRADE Back Row: Alfred O'Neil, Jerry jordan, Richard Core, O.

We have sixteen girls and thirty boys. The first activity of the year was a picnic in September. Here the seventh and eighth graders became acquainted. . We organized a Civic League or Citizenship Club. The motto of the club is: I will do something every day to show that I am a good citizen. Halloween was the time many of us showed our good citizenship by not soaping or destroying property. At this time we gave a program for the parents and the freshmen girls served the tea. At Thanksgiving we went to the grade building, giving the play, Tommy's Thanksgiving Party. School busses took us to Des Moines to see the Historical Building, the Capitol and to see the show, Courage of Lassie. Our second trip to Des Moines was to present a musical program at the Iowa Home for the Blind. We also gave them well-filled baskets of food. ln the afternoon we visited the airfield and the Register and Tribune building. We prepared a box for one boy and one girl in Holland. Each child was sent enough clothing for a school year. We have received many cards from them. The evening of December 20 we gave Dickens' Christmas Carol and sang carols. This was our first evening performance. With the assistance of Mrs. Evans, we sang carols at different places in our town. Lincoln's Birthday was the occasion we used for our declamatory contest. The seventh grade gave the Americans Creed and the eighth grade' gave the Gettysburg Address. The seventh grade winners were jerry Koons, jerry jordan and Argyle Klein, and in the eighth grade were Dorothy Karns, Charles Guest and Mary Ann jolly. The awards were large painted flags and books of adventures presented by Miss Davidson. We took part in the Register and Tribune Spelling Bee. Anna jean McCann was the winner and went to the county contest. Our spring projects consist of a Science Radio contest with WOI at Ames on birds and trees, a trip by train to Des Moines to visit a Court Trial, a Mother's Day program and tea. Last but not least comes eighth grade commencement with a play, instrumental solos and presentation of diplomas.

For days ahead the grade school children were filled with anticipation. The first expression of preparation was noted in the stories and poems used in reading and language work: next came the decoration of the rooms and trees. The sixth grade used a painted frieze of trees and bells on the windows, The fifth grade specialized in making all of the decorations for their tree. The fourth grade used Santa Claus as their main interest. lle appeared in various sizes and made of many materials. The third grade made decorations for their tree and decorated their room with chains and wreaths. The second grade used pictures and chains in decoration and enjoyed making Santa Claus come up to date by placing him in an airplane. The first grade used Christmas pictures and toys with the sand table as an interest center. For one border they used the calendars which they had made for Christmas gifts for their mothers. All of the rooms had gayly lighted trees surrounded with exchange gifts and every child took part in the operetta, after which they welcomed their parents to their room that they might personally share their home room interests. The liriday before Christmas was another very busy day. Although the operetta highlight was over, the excitement for the children was not dulled in the least, for was not the Christmas dinner and the picture show still ahead! l The cooks had prepared a dinner colorful, bountiful, and delicious. To make room for the extra children in the dining room the sixth grade girls consented to serve the first graders in their own room, where the tables were pushed together to form a large square. There were gifts piled in the center of the table. Next came the trip down town to see the motion picture, National Velvet, ln spite of the fact that many of the children had seen the picture previously, it nevertheless held the attention of all. This was a gift from the entire faculty to the student body. Thus ended another grade school Christmas season in Pleasantville, HOT LUNCH 33 HOT LUNCH One of the popular activities during the noon hour of our school is the hot lunch program. The hot lunches have been served in the grade huilding with approximately 220 people participating each school day. Those responsible for the meal have been: Mrs. klessie Stuhhs, Mrs. Lenore Shephard, and Mrs. lfern Burns, These meals have heen complete meals served with milk. the liederal Government paying a portion ot' the cost of meal preparation. 'lihe l5ederal Government distrihuted many surplus commodities to he used in meal preparation. The patrons of the school should look forward to the continuation ol' this program in the following years.

The story concerned the Nausen family who had come to America from Norway to claim an inheritance. Mrs. Nausen left her two children Gilda, played by june Niccum, and jibby, played by Kay Heck, to seek informa- tion and never returned. This happened on Christ- mas Eve and each succeeding Christmas the two girls lighted candles in the window of their home, hoping for their mother's return. Lawyer Snidge, played by Scott Mason, was the children's guardian, and this Christmas Eve tells Gilda and jibby he is going to send them away to Boarding School, and he and his daughter Milly, played by Patsy Burn- ham, and his son jiddy, played by Ronnie Ramsey, plan to live in the Nausen's home. Gilda vainly protests, and they plan to make this last Christmas as joyful and happy as possible. Madam Clara, a cateress, played by Katheryn Brooks, and Mabel, Gilda's best friend, played by Martha Downs, arrived Christmas morning to help fix baskets that are to be distributed to the poor. Madam Clara sees her picture on the table and is mystified by its presence, Lawyer Snidge arrives and mentions. his plans for the children, when Madam Clara hears their names she realizes she is the children's mother. She had been struck by a car five years ago and had suffered a complete loss of memory. There is a happy reunion and all ends well. Other characters in the operetta were Celia and Mary, friends of Milly, who were played by Clara Mae Guest and Dixie Klootwyk. Patsy, a waif from the streets, who organized a song Flute Band and entertained Madam Clara, and Mabel was played by Ancil Denzler. Characters in jibby's dream were Santa Claus, Larry McKinneyg Snowflake, a rabbit who is Santals right hand man, johnnie jordan: the games from the birds, Gary Blodgett, jerry Kirkpatrick, and Leo Guestg the Spirit of Christmas, Marilyn Welshhons. Special choruses were made up of all the student body and welcomed the Christmas Carolers, games, Spirit of Christmas, Nymphs, Toy Town Express Men, Toymaker Elves, Rhythm Band, Tinsel Singers, and waifs. Mrs. Evans directed the pro- duction and the other grade teachers very ably costumed and staged the operetta. 36 HALLOWEEN PARTY Halloween found the grade school children having parties, wearing funny costumes, and decorating their rooms with witches, bats, cats and pumpkins. ln the afternoon they dressed in their masks and paraded through the halls, so they could see one another and guess as to their identity. Their parade then went through town and on over to the high school where all the high school pupils observed a funny-looking parade. After their long parade they returned to the grade school where the teachers treated them to cup cakes and doughnuts. The children brought money and each room decided what they wanted to spend their money for-ice cream, candy bars, pop or chocolate milk. Everyone had a wonderful time and went home full as a tick. DECLAMATORY Several students entered in declamation this year but only nine spoke in the home contest. The students who spoke in the home contest February I7 were: Oratorical-Martha Shivvers, Dramatic-Marilyn Booth, Ruth Ann Galvin, Mary Hollingsworth, and Martha Shivvers, and Humorous-Carol Chambers, Lora Mae Galloway, Carolyn Hunter, Marilyn johnson and Phyllis West. Those who received firsts in their divisions were Martha Shivvers, Ruth Ann Galvin and Marilyn johnson. February 19, these girls went to Bondurant to the pre-district contest, all being awarded first. March 5, the three girls went to Oskaloosa to the district contest. Martha rated ll, Ruth Ann Ill, and Marilyn ll. There were no firsts awarded in the humorous division. ALUMNI 0 F F I C E R S DEAN SHOENIAKER . President MAX SIIOOK . . Vice President BERTINE SPALTI Secretary-Treasurer BRIEF HISTORY OF ORGANIZATION The Alumni organization was begun and duly organized in l904. The first meeting. however, was in l90l, when the first Senior Class graduated. There were ten members in l904 from which Chet Dyer and Thirza Brice were elected president and secretary-treasurer respectively. A-t that time the alumni banquet was held in the homes. Today the banquet is a yearly social affair and is held on the Friday after the last day of school in one or the other of the local churches. lt is a homecoming for many people to see old friends and classmates and is looked forward to by everyone except maybe the graduating Seniors who are duly sworn in after initiation. Over 750 people have graduated from the Pleasantville Schools. This list of graduates is the first list published by the school according to classes since l920, when a booklet was published by the Senior Class containing all commencement week activities. Should names be incorrect or omitted the Staff would appreciate knowing it so a correction can be made in the next issue. SCHOOL DAYS OF PLEASANTVILLE 1900-1904 Our school superintendent, C. W. Kennedy, was stern, solemn, and unyielding but underneath was kind. During those early days we had no tournaments, no skills, no lQ's, no assemblies, but lacked none of the school spirit. We did have a football team, plus some good school yells. Once when we played lndianola High, we slipped in a Simpson College player to make things worthwhile. That was just about our undoing. 1901 Effie Allsup tl. F. Neffb Chester Gose E. R. Jordan 1902 Chester E. Dyer 1903 Tnmmie De Witt tSmith!

Ask Brownie 40 PLEASANTVILLE Pleasantville was laid out on August l, l849, by Stanford Doud for Wesley jordan, and the plat shows nine blocks, eight of which are divided into eight lots each, one block being left in the center of the town for a public square. The streets running east and west in the original plat were North, jackson, Monroe and South, and those running North and South were East, Washington, jefferson and West. ln the spring of l872 a petition was filed in the District Court asking for the incorporation of the town. When an election was held forty-six votes were cast in favor of incorporating and sixteen against it. The court then ordered an election of town officers, to be held on july I6, l872, at which time William H. Miner was elected mayor: T. j. West, clerkg Miles jordan, David Hockert, Elias Williams, Christian Pentz and Solomon L. Hart, councilmen. Wesley jordan built the first house in Pleasantville. He was also the first merchant and the first postmaster, the postoffice being kept in his store. Milton T. Glenn was the first child born in the town, the date of his birth having been December l9. l85l. The first hotel was kept by William H. H. Alley. For several years the growth of Pleasantville was slow but with the completion of the Chicago, Burlington 81 Quincy Railroad in l879 the town took on new life. Although the place has never experienced a pronounced boom, the growth has been of a healthy character and the town is one of the active business centers of the county. lt has Methodist and Christian churches, two public schools, an active Commercial Club and many types of business concerns in addition to a nice residential section. Pleasantville is the fourth largest town in Marion County and is so named on account of the pleasant surroundings, being located upon a beautiful prairie, and the highest point of land in Marion County is within the limits of the town. The population in l9l0 was 69l. SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY ' fContinued from page 83 her marriage, was manager of the johnson and johnson Baby Supplies Company. LEE DUBES: Lee, who came to the'city. soon after he graduated, is doing very well in his job and also with women. He has just as much grit as he had back in P. H.S. He still uses the old line about running out of gas when he stops his helicopter in mid-air. DONALD BURNS: Two years after he graduated from P. H.S. he went West and has a good job in an office. Anytime you call he is sitting with his feet propped on the desk, his red hair slicked down and smoking a cigar, with afretty secretary sitting on his lap. He really lea s a double life, but Phyllis doesn't suspect it. RUTH ANN GALVIN: Ruth has surprised her- self more than anyone. Contrary to her definite plans of being an old maid, she, of course, has settled down with her husband. Things run very smoothly in her home, because things are her way or else. She writes poetry for the Marion County News which is a daily paper now. DONALD PRICKETT: Still running around what time he is not helping his dad on the farm. Some- thing must have happened to him and Shawver for he doesn't go to see Leland and Colleen every night. Still very particular about classifying him with the right girl. Has still continued to sing and directs the choir in a Knoxville Church. ROBERT STUBBS: No grass has grown under his feet, even though he would appreciate a quiet home-life with a certain girl he still approves of IOOW. Even though a few of the feminine sex have tried they have failed to alter this decision. He approves of the Auctioneering Business. RONALD VAN RYSWYK: lt is true that when Ronnie said he would be married as soon as possible-that he made his word good, for he was at it two hours after his graduation. He is a good boy and has made a good farmer out of himself so he can feed the little mouths of his household. ROBERT VAN ZEE: He is now a farmer near Pleasantville. Still is a single man-he says-but is expected to be bossed around soon--how he will take it, l don't know, but knowing Bob as I did in '47 , he will not be bossed long. MARY VlNSON: Mary is the same al she ever was-still a good feeler all the time. gShe isn't as heavy as she used to be so therefore her husband lives at ease with her in their new ultra-streamlined Hotel and Cafe in South Chicago. They manu- facture their own ice cream, too. MARVELYN BOOTH: She is working part time as a newspaper reporter. Besides this she is sufficiently caring for her offspring and husband. Marvelyn, having captured her man, is devoting her gmlel go her tasks, as she has always' done in .

John P. Glenn was the first Christian minister to locate in this town- ship. He and James W. Gill, also a preacher, participated in the organization of the church and preached for the congregation as occasion required. During the winter of 1872, Rev. Reed, with the assistance of Neal Cheetham, held a protracted meeting which lasted about eight weeks. The Organ meeting and the Scoville meeting have been two outstanding evangelistic meetings. Rev. T. C. Polk, assisted by Arthur Rees, organized the God's Acre Plan of securing funds which improved the financial condition of the church. At present 119473 the Church has a membership of four hundred fifty and the minister is Rev. Ernest Galloway. More information about the Christian Church may be found in the Centennial book, which was published in the fall of 1946. MARION COUNTY PRODUCE 8z FEED CO. TOM YOUNG, Manager Sell Us Your Eggs.
