H. S. to begin four years that will long be remembered and cherished by us. The members included: Phyllis Abrahams, David Boot, Erma Lea Brewer, Max Caldwell, Alan Carnpbell, Lowell Clark, Glennyce Den Besten, Shirley Elrod, Elnor Herweh, Duane Jennings, Lois Krohn, Margaret McFadden, Beverly Messmaker, Joyce Moomaw, Mary Lou Plate, Audrey Pulver, Godfrey Redco, Mary She ra, Judy Shutt, Rosalee Stamper, Lila Steenhoek, Jackie Sparks, Grace Telfe r, Danny Trunnel, Jerry Van Baale, Margie Van Dyk, and Loren Vander Lune. We were initiated as comic strip characters. It is one night that will always re- main in the back of our minds, to be talked about as the years go by. Junior Smith joined us, but dropped out after about six weeks. We also lost Alan Campbell, Jerry Van Baale, and Godfrey Redco, We were glad to welcome Bertha Grimes, Beverly Jabaai, and Beverly Trager to our class. At the beginning of our Sophomore year we had lost Glennyce Den Besten, Mary Lou Plate, and Rosalee Stamper, but gained one new member, Walter Miller. We had no class parties during that year. Some of the members of our class began taking more inte rest in sports, music, and we participated in a skit for home-coming. We started our Junior year with the same group of students, but this time we were upperclassmen and we knew it! We also started taking life more seriously by choosing the subjects that would do us the most good in later life. On October 30, 1953, under the direction of Mr. Wilkins, our English instructor, we presented our class play, Watch Out For Spooks . With Mrs. Regier as our class sponsor we took over the duties of running the Junior concession stand at the football and basketball games. Again we took part in the fun night activities for home-coming. We became the joyful owners of our class rings by Tha.nksgiving and kept them, at least until Christ- mas. Then some were given away to be worn with pride by the new owners. We held our Junior-Senior Banquet on May 7 in the hot lunchroom. The atmos- phe re was traditional of the Gay 90's . Our mothers prepared a delicious meal, serving over eighty-five guests, including Juniors, Seniors, faculty members and their husbands and wives. We were entertained and waited on by eight members of the Sophomore Class. When we arrived for our last term at Prairie City High School we had lost Max Caldwell, Grace Telfer, and Phyllis Abrahamsg leter Lowell Clark also left us. This year we gained only one new member, Leland Aldridge, giving us a graduating class of twenty-two members. We initiated the Freshmen in style as is the custom and then settled down to work. We again chose appropriate subjects for our future plans and we all worked hard to gain the most we could from our last year in high school. We worked hard to produce an annual that would accurately express our thoughts and memories of our school. Our second class play was held in the spring and we ,at- tended the banquet given us by the Juniors. The baccalaureate service and graduation exe rcise were both joyful and yet a little sad. After all this time we are now ready to each go his own way in the world and make his life the best he can. Senior Will and Testament We, the Senior Class of P, C. H. S. , being of sound mind and about ready to cast aside our high school ways and depart for the sedate land of adulthood, do make, publish, and declare this to be our Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking and an- nulling any and all will or wills by us made heretofore: Item Item Item Item Item- Item Item Item Item Item Ite m Item Item Item Item Item Item Item Item Item Item Item Margie Van Dyk bequeaths her quietness to the Freshman boys. My, what a pleasant relief. Shirley Eli-od wills her Dear John letters to Carolyn Roorda. Beverly Jabaai gives her brother to Carolyn Van Houweling. Lila Steenhoek donates her post position to Janet Wilson, Erma Lea Brewer leaves her music ability to Paul Colyn. David Boot wills his easy-going ways to Alice Van Ryswyk. Lois Krohn donates her slacks to Ramona Gulling. Duane Jennings deeds his ability to play football to Johnny Van Haalen. Loren Vande Lune bequeaths his wavy hair to Robert Smits.

Beverly Trager bequeaths the Home-coming Queen crown to any girl lucky enough to win it. Elnor He rweh gives her ability to sing and play the piano to Dale Van Maanen. Mary She ra gives her long hair to Carolyn Jennings. In witness whereof we have hereunto set our hands to this our Last Will and Testarnent at Prairie City, Iowa, this seventeenth day of May, A. D. , 1955. Class of '55 Prophecy It was in the year 1980 when my friend and I returned from a prolonged visit to Mars. Upon arriving in the growing metropolitan city of Prairie City, Iowa, which was now twice the size of New York City, we decided to look over The Prairie City News to see what was going on in the world. To our surprise we found the following concerning the class of 1955: President and Wife Attend Socialite Reception ite Beverly T. , today gave a reception for President Trunnel and his lovely wife, the former Beverly Jabaai, in nonor of their Luth wedding anniversary. The first lady wore a lovely yellow gown that was de signed by Fashion Designer Beverly Osborn. Opera Star Stops Opera For the first time in the history of the Metropolitan Opera Company, the audience came to its feet to cheer an outstanding singer and delay the opera itself. Elnor Herweh, the brilliant star, stopped the performance short with her rendition of I'm in The Jailhouse Now. She was accompanied by her faithful pianist, Margaret McFadden. Murderer Condemned to Death The notorious criminal, Slick Sam McGee, is to be hung Friday at 5:00 A. M. , announced District Attorney Loren Vande Lune and his assistant, Audry Pulver. He was proven guilty of seven murders by the efficient D. A. and his helper. Iowa Girl Breaks Speed Record 'Miss Judy Shutt, formerly of Prairie City, Iowa, ,yeste rday broke the old speed record by setting a new one of 400 miles an hour in the 1981 model Jetmobile auto. This is Miss Shutt's third such title. Science Aids Henpecked Husband The world-famous scientist, Walter Miller, today announced the discovery of a powerful chemical that has endless possibilities. He discovered this when his wife came too near the chemicalg it blew her off the face of the earth. It is not known when the product will be avail- able to the public. Wealthy Widow Weds Again The socially prominent Mrs. -John Jacob Morgan, -the former Margie Var Dyke, will be married tomorrow for the eighth time. It is estimated that the for- tune left to her by her third husband is about sixty million dollars. When we finished reading the paper Class was still alive and kicking. The Pacific is Conque red Erma Lea Brewer swirns the Pacific Ocean to make the biggest news in Sports today. After several unsuccessful tries Erma Lea crossed the sea in only two days. That girl is really jet-propelled. Famed Singing Group Sued The Discord-ettes are in close har- mony with the law, it was revealed to the press this morning. The city of San Francisco is forcing a lawsuit on the girls for failing to appear in the big air- plane show, which the cityhis holding. The singers, Shirley Elrod, Lois Krohn, and Bertha Grimes expressed the fear that the bad publicity would break up their trio. Critics Acclaim Exhibition Critics today spoke favorably of the exhibition of paintings by Duane Jennings, After a brilliant career in athletics, Mr. Jennings became a painter because of his rheumatism.
