Step aside! Make room for the twenty-two raging Freshmen entering the halls of the Prairie City High School on the first Monday in September of 1950. The members of this class included: Carroll Hall, Laverne Harmison, Dean Pulver, Ron Telfer, Paul Osborne, Donald Jabaai, Truman Wagner, Donnie Miller, Gorden Wassenaar, Lowell Vande Lune, Henrietta Barwegen, Nona Emerson, Max Ingram, Robert Ryken, Jim McCauley, Joanna Oliver, Joy Lee Dunlavy, Sandra Beaver, Dorothy Daugherty, Marilyn Miller, Doris Ann Trunnel and Mary Lou Van Wyngarden. Those twenty-two green Freshmen soon became even greener the night of Initiation. Ouch! We're still trying to get that green paste off. Other parties included a theater party at Newton and the last day picnic in Des Moines. Carroll Hall, Laverne Harmison, Robert Ryken and Donald Jabaai failed to join us as we began our Sophomore year. However, we welcomed Ruth Grimes and Don Hughes during the year. During the year we became more accustomed to the rapid events of our school activities in which we ourselves began to parti- cipate in more actively. As we started the last half of our journey, we considered ourselves upper- classmenwfor we were Juniors. Dick Soutter and Marvin Brubaker joined our class, while Joy Lee Dunlavy, Donnie Miller, Paul Osborne and Henrietta Barwegen were not present. On November 7, 1952, we presented our Junior Class Play, BROOM FOR THE BRIDE , under the direction of Mrs. Oliver. Joanna Oliver departed for Arizona shortly after the play. We also had the pleasant task of rurming the concession stand at the football and basketball games. By Thanksgiving we were wearing our class rings, which we consider the pret- tiest and the bestest . The 18th of April we entertained the Senior Class at the Junior-Senior Banquet, Moonlight and Roses, served at the Christian Church with fifty-six Juniors, Seniors, and faculty members present. During our Junior year the seriousness of our being here became more apparent, and we started making more definite plans for the future. Having graduated, the Seniors of 1953 left us their position as upperclass- men in the high school. We assembled this final time with seventeen members. Eleanore Wagenschwanz, an exchange student from Germany, joined the class as Donald Hughes left us. Our Senior year was highlighted by the production of the '54 Annual, our second class play, and our chance to get even twe initiated the Freshmenj. We have now put the past behind us and are now beginning to make our plans and decisions, since it is so very necessary in the future. The baccalaureate service and graduation exercise marked the end of our long journey through the realm of higher learning. ' Senior Will and Testament We, the Senior Class of 1954, being of sound mind HJ and memory do hereby bequeath this to be our last will and testament. The provisions are as follows: I, Dick Soutter, will my height to Larry Stravers who could stand another two or three feet of growth. I, Eleanore Wagenschwanz, will my knowledge to read, speak, and write five different languages to Lois Krohn. I, Ron Telfer, will my mischievous ways to Loren Vande Lune. I, Dorothy Daugherty, will my long hair to Carolyn Jennings. I, Marvin Brubaker, will my ability to sleep in class to Margaret McFadden who always seems alert. I, Marilyn Miller, will mytemper to Margie Van Dyk, who seems rather quiet. I, Max Ingram, will my Ford to anyone who can get it to run. I, Doris Trunnel, will my ambition to become a teacher to Bev. Trager who doesn't seem to fancy the subject. I, Mary Lou Van Wyngarden, will my driving 'ability to Edna Sille. I, Dean Pulver, will my quietness to Lowell Clark. Wouldn't that be a change! I, Sandra Beaver, will Dwaine Bos to Arlys Tidball or any other gal who comes along. I, Lowell Vande Lune, will my wavy hair to Dale Moomaw. I, Ruth Grimes, will my Iowa City boys to my sister Bertha. I, Gordon Wassenaar, will my collection of Western records to Mr. Oliver and Mr. Andrews, who don't have quite the same taste in music. I, Nona Emerson, will my four years of cheerleading to Phyllis Abrahams. We, Truman Wagner and Jim McCauley, will our apple cider to the .lunior boys. Weren't We Cute?? See Page 65 For Names. The Predicted Future U y It was the year 1974, when P. C.H.S. 's famous mouse, Squeegie , hopped on his motorcycle and was off to visit the members of the 1954 class. While traveling peacefully along the highway, he was suddenly flattened from the rear by Noni Mae with her brand new 1975 Ford. Noni immediately recog- nized Squeegie and frantically called for the ambulance. Here comes a witness. Wait! I believe it's the world-famous crooner, Dean Pulver, with a head of bobbysoxers led by Ruth Grimes, President of the Dean Pulver Fan Club . As he had seen the whole accident, he sticks around and gives the details to the Highway Patrolwoman, Dorothy Daugherty. Here comes the speediest ambulance in town driven by Jim McCauley, and he assists the famous doctor and nurse team--Marilyn Miller and Max Ingram-- load Squeegie into the ambulance. A flat tire gives them troubles, but luckily they are near Beaver's Body Benders Garage , and Sandra quickly fixes it for . them. Due to the expert care given by Max Ingram and Marilyn Miller, Squeegie is fully recovered by the time he reached the hospital. Meanwhile as his motorcycle was slightly bent, it was taken to Beaver's Body Benders , where it was utterly demolished. Luckily, Sandra's expert workmen were covered by insurance, so Squeegie was able to get a new motor- cycle and was on his way. When noon time rolled around he decided to stop at the world-famous restau- rant Eleanore's Wurst und Saurkraut Rathskeller and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was owned by Eleanore Wagenschwantz. While inspecting the premises he discovered Marvin .Brubaker held the undefended title of chief-cook- and-bottle-washer . , V To relieve his violent indigestion, Squeegie was rushing for a drug store when he was waylayed by Doctor Dick Soutter, who was peddling Soutter's Satisfying Sweetened Seltzer-Water . Squeegie would have enjoyed chatting with Dick longer, but after sampling Dick's home remedy he felt the need to lie down awhile. Squeegie hailed a taxi belonging to the taxi tycoon, Studebaker Vande Lune. It just so happened that the driver was no one else but the owner, Lowell Vande Lune, himself. Due to a serious taxi-cab driver strike, Lowell was pinch hitting for some of his drivers. Because of Squeegie's weakened condition, Lowell rushed him to the exclusive Wassenaar's Hotel where the owner which was Gordon, told the bellboy, who just happened to be Ron Telfer, to escort Squeegie to a private suite containing TV, a mental communication telephone, electric bath, and many other necessities. In his room he discovered Truman Wagner, the janitor, cleaning the carpet. Just as Truman was leaving, he hit the new ultra-modern TV set, turning it on channel 97. As Squeegie didn't know how to shut it off, his thoughts were con- stantly interrupted by a women's wrestling match featuring l-Iorrendous Hanna, the Horrible Hulk alias Mary Lou Van Wyngarden-vs-Adorable Doris, the Devilish Demon-alias Doris Trunnel. Having recovered from his dose of Soutter's Satisfying Sweetened Seltzer- Water, Squeegie thought of a brilliant idea. He hurriedly switched on his short- wave thought telepathy machine and simultaneously called all the members of the Class of '54 and invited them to Sunday dinner at Prof. Kutz.li's Southern Mansion on River Drive in Percy. He went home joyously anticipating the reunion of the '54 Class. Eleonore Wagenschwanz Eleonore comes to Prairie City from Irmelshausen Germany on an exchange student program sponsored by the Church of the Brethren. Our associations with her throughout the year have been pleasant and gratifying. We have asked her to put down her views for us on a number of questions we have had in mind. Here they are reproduced for you: Views After I had been on the Atlantic for three weeks with a group of 123 students, I finally arrived at New York on the lst of September 1953, where Mr. Eberly, our sponsor from the Brethren Church met us. He made us understand that we had to go through customs at the harbor. That was fun! It took us six hours, and tired, and exhausted we got into our three buses which brought us from there to New Windsor, Maryland. We all hoped to get some rest there, but that just was a dream. Everybody who saw us, wanted to know how it happened that we came, so we tried to tell them in our broken and unfinished English. Because I know that all of you are interested in that question too, I will tell you about it in a few sentences. I came on the exchange program under the sponsorship of the church of the Brethren. In May, 1953, l read in the paper that boys and girls between 16 and 18 had the chance to go to the United States. I thought that would be fun, and applied as a participant in the program. I had to go to bigger towns, and there American officers gave us tests, and interviewed us, about seven times before they accepted me. They wrote to my school and asked the superintendent whether I would be capable of doing it or not. We do not get any credit for this school year over here. They wrote back and forth and I already had lost hope in my plans. One day in July I got a letter that told me that I was one of the 30 students out of 1200 who got through all the tests and interrogations. I was so happy to hear that good news, but when the time came to leave home, it didn't seem so wonderful to me any more, and I wished I had never heard anything of it. But anyway, that was what I wanted, and what I got so I left for America. Now I am not a bit sorry at all that I have come because Mr. Eberly and his exchange staff picked out such a nice family for me to stay with. I really felt at home. My foster parents for this year are Mr. and Mrs. Merlin Brewer. I am sure it is not only for this year that they were my parents. I will remember them and all the good they did for me all my life. Erma Lea, Marjforie and Donald are the ones who keep me busy out there on the farm. We really have lots of fun together. They all tease me a lot around here on Brewer's farm but I always try to fight back. It always gives them a big laugh when I use a wrong word at the wrong time. You can imagine that I didn't just come to have fun over here, so the State Department decided to send me to Prairie City High School to make me study. That was a good idea! I can say the first week Ithought it was awful hard I couldn't understand a word the teachers said, and took home all my books every day to study. I felt terrible, and Erma Lea helped me a lot and gave me new courage each day. I struggled through that first week and now I think it is pretty easy. I found a lot of differences in the schools over there and here. First of all I want to make clear that we don't have schools which you can compare with the high schools here. I went to a school eight miles from my home after I had five years of elementary school. As I learned from Erma Lea through discussing thatsubject you can compare the school I attended with your junior college. We don't have the choice of selecting subjects we want to take. Every student has to take what the schools offers according to the class you are in. Last year in July, I was in the 6th grade in that school, and had to carry eighteen subjects including sports and music. Four of the subjects were foreign languages. Ther, we don't have study halls. All the assignments must be done at home. That means study at home for at least five hours and more a day. We stay in one classroom from 8 o'clock in the morning until Z o'clock in the afternoon. Between each new study class we have a break of 5 minutes to be prepared for the next teacher. Hot lunch at 12 o'clock is unknown, each student brings his sandwich along. As I said, we stay in one room, and the teachers have a room where they come together after a class, and from where each teacher goes toghis next class. The thing I don't want to forget to say is that our schools are much more formal than schools over here. Students have to arise when the teacher comes in, and we have to stand up to answer his question and answer it in a sentence. To come to school with painted lips and put up hair is impossible. I guess we all didn't like it too well, but I think it does not hurt. Sometimes I have the feeling that it would be better if the school over here would be a little more formal. To be hone st about it, I hope nobody gets mad at me now. As well as the schools are different, our customs are different too. I can not write all the differences, but lwill tell about a few, at least, which I noticed most. First of all I would say people over here go a lot more than people in Germany. The important factor here is the community while we work more with the family together and stay at home. Then we don't have all those modern conveniences you work with. We have to do it more the old-fashioned way . I guess that is the way you would put it if you could see us do some things. But we don't know any other way to do it so it doesn't cause much trouble. Well, l got a very good impression of what the people over here like, and I don't have to form my own opinion any more by movies or songs, which gives us more or less the wrong ideas. It did me a lot of good. Before I come to the end, I would like to say, Thank you to the teachers of Prairie City High School for their very fine co-operation in helping me with my studies. I also want to thank all the students for being such nice fellows. You all helped me with your smiles and your friendly talks to make me feel at home. Thanks a lot you guys and gals, I had a wonderful time with you here in your Prairie City High School, and I am sure I will remember you and your teachers all my life.

On October 30th and November Znd, the Juniors presented their class play Watch Out For Spooks a comedy in three acts. We went to the Drake Observatory to study the solar system. After an interesting talk we went up in the dome of the observatory and looked at the stars through a telescope. Mr. Kutzli went along as our sponsor. After being bewitched, bewildered, and bebothered, we finally gave the Junior-Senior Ban- quet. It was hard work but a lot of fun. 1 'U r -in in in-ui 23 Sophomores FRONT ROW: Left to Rightg Dorothy Van Zee, Barbara Land, Alice Van Ryswyk, Janice Beyers, Sheryl Koder, Norma Neely, Dorothy Shera, Lola Steenhoek, Elaine Rinehart.

The whole Sophomore Class wanted to have a going away party for Harley Thoronton and Larry Sparks, but everyone also wanted a scavenger hunt later on. The problem was quickly solved by our c1ever boys. We simply invited our spon- sor, Coach, to the party. Therefore it was not our sponsored party for the semester and we managed the combined chili supper and scavenger hunt a few weeks later. Donna Brunner and Travis Walters added to our social life, by inviting the whole class to their birthday parties. n On October 19th, Mr. and Mrs. Kutzli took us on a scientific expedition to the Drake Observatory where we viewed the moon and heard an interesting lecture on our solar system. Although Harley Thronton and Larry Sparks moved away, we now have a new student, Jim Snyder, which brings our class total to twenty-six.

V V Junior Class Play Watch Out for Spooksv Synopsis Everyone enjoys ghost stories, except when the weird pranks are aimed at them as it was in WATCH OUT FOR SPO0KS . The fun-loving boys played the role of spooks to entice the girls to leave their vacation cottage. The girls, through no fault of their own, had to stay in the scary house. Holleyhock and Aunt Delia did much to arouse the already vivid imaginations- of the girls. The boys were suddenly frightened into submission in the middle of their act by a weird ghost. The mystery was finally solved, and everyone enjoyed himself in spite of the kitchen band--an attempt at music by the girls. As the director says, This all ghost to show you!
