Pederson and I.. A. Gere. The superintendents through these years have been: Mrs. Talcott, J. 13. Bullock, N. E. Quam, D. V. Minert and W. B. Devine, who holds this position at present. John Johnson has been jan- itor of the building since 1924. The lowest school enrollment was in 1919- 20, with 34 pupils in the grade school and 8 in the high school. The high- est grade enrollment was in 1924-25, with 192 pupils. In 1937-38 the highest high school enrollment was achieved, with 101 pupils. The largest grad- uating elass was in 1940-41, with 27 graduates. Recognition is given to H. J. Miller, who was a school board member for 23 years. Also, outstanding was Amel Olson, who was the Brain Derby Champion of Iowa, in 1939-40. The best years in our Music Contests were in 1940-41 and 1946-47, with the mixed chorus and the glee club as the outstanding groups. Our best basketball team was the girls of 1937-33. They were defeated by two points in the district final tournament. The school building equipped, originally cost 2i5l35,461.00nnow debt free. 5 F5 192:52-,p fl bl wil a2F fr::-:G 4, N-n .Eire N-.-L' dflfliiifi .ai ' 'l:r u Robert Erickson, Mr. Simpson, Grace Husby, LaVonne Mickelson JoAnn Olson, Loren Mortvedt, Marian Chalma Annudi Editor-in-Chief .............................

H. S. to start their twelve-year tour! Well, those twelve years are over and there are now sixteen bright, intel- ligent students but only five of the original are left-Marian Chalma, Marilyn Hetland, Ann Wells, Judean Weltha, and David Sowers. Going back to first grade and working up, Mr. N. E. Quam was our superintendent through sixth grade, when he joined the American Red Cross. Mr. Bondhus started the seventh year but because of the shortage of help during the war, he was forced to go back to his farm. Taking his place was Mr. Minert, who was with us through those green freshman days. Our present superintendent, Mr. Devine, was there to greet us that first day of our sophomore year and is with us to bid goodbye this last day of our senior year. Our individual class teachers were Miss Welch fwhat memories?J, who started us off t-o a good start ont our way. Miss Strader, took us the next year, passing us onto third grade where Miss Thomsen received us, Robert Erickson became a permanent member of the class this year. Miss Iver- son taught us our fourth grade and it was this year that Philip Romp joined us. Miss Lindberg stayed with us through fifth and sixth, and Miss Evans through seventh and eighth. Jo Ann Olson joined us this seventh year. Our music teachers includ-ed Miss Ingerbritson for first grade, Mr. Field for second, third, and fourth, Miss Donhowe for fifth and sixth, and Miss Hoffman for seventh and eighth. During these eight years we were allowed a half hour -each day for Bible training. Miss Gertrude Larson taught us the first seven years and Miss Priscilla Olson, eighth. We finished the eighth grade with a bang, each getting a gold pin with QR. J. H.-19451, complete with a banquet presented to us by the seventh grade. The receiving of our eighth grade diplomas topped off the year. Here We are, Freshmen, but one might think worse if they had seen the boys wearing dress-es and ribbons, the girls wearing night g-owns, both shoeless. This year many new members came into our class-Andrew Alfseike, Delores Durby, LaVonne Mickelson, Gaylord Oppedal, Marlene Peterson, Lloyd Thompson and Marvin Thompson. Our freshmen teach- ers were Mr. Ness, general science, Mrs. Cook, Englishg Mrs. Henryson and Mr. Risdal, algebra, home economics, Mrs. Henryson and Mrs. Blunt, shop 12 Our Twelve Years, continued and boys' basketball, Mr. Minert, girls' basketball, Miss Pearl Thorson, and music, Miss Tjernagel. Our sophomore year found us a lighter shade of green than those new freshmen Cgosh, were they dumbll. All those class parties bring back many happy thoughts. Instructors for this year included Mr. Maiden fprincipalj biology, Miss Christensen, geometry: Mrs. Carroll, music, Mr. Anderson, English, Mr. Devine, world history, boys' and girls' basketball. It was this year the last member of our present class joined us, .lean Twedt. The junior year brought the end into view fat least it was the half-way markl. Many things highlighted this year, first We received our shiny class of '49 ringsff Shortly after, we presented our play, Keep Mov- ing,', a three-act comedy, directed by Miss Darlene Blue. At the close of the year, we were host to the seniors at the Junior and Senior Banquet. Instructiug us this year were Miss Blue, typing, Miss R-osemary Jacobson and Mrs. Lentz, ll1LlSlC and American history, Mrs. Baltisburger, American literature and home economics, Mr. Anderson, shop, Mr. Devine, boys' and girls' basketball. A tragic part of this year was the death of our music teacher, Miss Rosemary Jacobson, in an auto accident. SENIORSY We made it, our last year filled with great events. First and very pleasurable was freshmen initiation! It was not long till we took the day off to go to Ames to take class pictures. Later we presented our class play, The Angell Bratsf' a three-act comedy, directed by Mr. Richard Simpson. Shortly CPD came the Junior and Senior Banquet, then Baccalaureate, and last, but far from least, COMMENCEMENT. Our colors were Blue and Silver, our flower was the Red Rose, and our motto, Knowledge Comes But Wisdom Lingersf' Our faculty for this senior year included Mr. Devine, government and economics, Mr. Simpson, com- mercial geography, typing, bookkeeping, business of life, senior play, newspaper and annual director, Mr. Stead, agriculture and physics, Mr. Mehle, advanced algebra and boys' and girls' basketball, Mrs. Debban, music, and Mr. Debban, principal. This brings to an end-Our Twelve Years-together, but it brings back many memories, both happy and otherwise, as each of us look out into our future. 13 fx .sf u 1' .1-4'-N 1 1 Ni Marian Challna Andrew Alfseike JoAnn Olson Lloyd and Marvin TIIOIIIIJSOH Marlene Peterson Robert Erickson 14 Gaylord Oppedal Ann XVells LaVminc lllickclson Philip Romp Delores Durby Duvicl Sowcrs 15 F5 ..m:x.,.f N..- al 5 .

'rl if' 0 5el'llOl' lDI'OPl'leSy ' As we opened our correspondence this fine morning we found, of great interest, a letter dated April 22, 1959, from our multimillionaire friend, MR. CLAREN'CE DAVID SOWERS. Clarence, who made his wealth manufacturing Strato Jet Atom Planes, had recently made a three-week trip visiting his former Randall classmates of 1949. We take from his letter, and we quote: As I set my strabojet down at Orlando, Florida, I immediately went to the peach orchards, of which Orlando is famous, and who should I see there among the peaches but DELORES DURBY, who had taken a job along with one of her former Grand Junction, Iowa friends, picking peaches. After sampling a peach and discussing former school days, I was off with the wind. After flying to Miami, I went down to the beach for a swim and who should parade by but a group of models led by Miss Iowa, ANN WELLS, whom I didn't, get to talk to, but later heard that she had won the Miss Miami Contest. As night came I decided to go to the Silvery Seal where the great baritone soloist, PHILIP ROMP was the .main at- traction. After his love song, he was surrounded by swooning girls so I didn't get close enough to talk to him. The next day being Sunday, I was up with the sun and took off for Peoria, Illinois to attend church services conducted by Pastor ANDREW G. ALFSEIKE, also a classmate of mine. I landed in Peoria at 10:30 and immediately went to the Lutheran church. I was very much inspired by Andrew's sermon against alcoholics. Afterwards, when I was talking to him, he informed me that last week he had married the former MAR- LENE PETERSON to ROBERT Brownie ERICKSON. After a two- weeks honeymoon in serene Brazil, they plan to return to their business of tooth-pick making. I decided to dine at the famous Olson cafe known for its famous sardine primpose, a rare fish of the Arctic Ocean. To my surprise, when I entered the cafe, who should greet me but the owner, my classmate, JOANN OLSON, who treated me to the finest primpose I have ever tasted. Afterwards, I went back to the bar to have a martini and I was so dum- founded that I couldn't even drink my martini, for there behind the bar pouring out the drinks stood good ol' Merv, MARVIN THOMPSON. While browsing around the streets one day, Merv had run into JoAnn, and she had offered him the job, figuring he could make good use of it. Not so long ago, I received a letter fro.m JEAN TWEDT, in Minne- apolis, and being's she didn't say what h-er work was, I decided to go up 16 Senior Propiiesy, coniinueci and see what was going on. I landed in Minneapolis on Monday after- noon and looked up her address in the telephone directory. To my sur- prise she was employed at the Weltha Undertaking Establishment. I went over to the Undertaking parlorsg more surprises, Jean and JUDEAN WELTHA were in partnership. They said their business worked out very well, for Judean handled all business and funeral work, while Jean did the embalming. Quite nerve-wracking for a woman-don't you think? Next I went to Cleveland to see GAYLORD OPPEDAL, who I knew was a physio-therapist there. He had studied for eight years at Harvard U., and now was very well known for his work on muscle-movement and the relief of major pain. As I entered his office I saw Dr. Oppedal work- ing on the famous successor of the great Bob F eller, Fireball LLOYD THOMPSON, who now has a 23-game winning streak and it looks as if he might break all records in the big leagues for the Cleveland Indians. After talking over school days with these two famous men, I journeyed on. LA VONNE MICKELSON is the only one I didn't go to see, but I have been collecting some material on h-er career. She is down in Venzuela, South America, playing basketball for the Venzuela All Stars-the only thing is, she has changed over to a forward and has now averaged 35 points a game shooting baskets with eith-er the right or the left hand. Oh, she is one of the most praised girls in South America, though she writes that she is still not married. Now for the most famous, I think, of our group-MARILYN HET- LAND. I saw her in the American Ice Follies when they appeared in Des Moines, Iowa. Marilyn was the star of the show, majoring in ice ballet, she has become one of the most beautiful skaters in the arena- male or female. Now for the last of our class, the former MARIAN CHALMA. She is t.he only one remaining in the Randall community, she lives on a farm a short distance from town, and seems to be faring very well, being the Mrs. Fred Templer. They now own their own farm and have five husky little hired men-who some day, I'm sure will be on the R. H. S. basket- ball squad. And now after this long trip I'm sure my Wife, Orvella, will be waiting for me and my love. -Delbert Quam David Teigland. 17 '--n .uf'i5 fl -- A X il N ' I 1, Eire f' 5-ui 4 . I u,. gl' Qloss We, the graduating class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty-nine ofthe City of Randall, 'County of Hamilton, and State of Iowa, being of legal age and sound mind and memory, do make, publish and declare this our LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT, hereby revoking and annulling any and all will or wills by us made hereafter: I, Andrew Alfseike, will my same old resting stall in the assembly, namely, the front desk, to Joe Hanson who thinks it's closer to the door anyway. I, Marian Chalma, will my outstanding red hair and my many clothes to Grace Husby. We, Delores Durby and Marilyn Hetland, will our ambitions to be career girls Ol to Marie Wicks. We, Robert Erickson and Marlene Peterson, will our ability to pitch woo to Delbert Quam, who maybe could use a few lessons, for future reference. I, LaVonne Mickelson, will my ability to reason and my position as post- guard on the basketball team, to Melva Romp. I, JoAnn Olson, will my knack of getting along with people, even teach- ers, to Orville Owenson, whom we're sure isn't the least bit interested. I, Gaylord Oppedal, will my ability to be alert f?J in classes and my brilliant wisecracks to Melborne Swenson. I, Lloyd Thompson, will my ever-lasting ability to have the car for every occasion and otherwise C?l to James Jacobson. I, Marvin Thompson, will my job as basketball manager, and my pleas- ing personality to Kenneth Johnson. I, Philip Romp, will my way of always attracting the attention of new girls at school, to Loren Mortvedt, who is quite a Romeo himself. I, David Sowers, will my Monday morning naps in bookkeeping, and also Elmer's parking places in front of the school house, to Shirley West. I, Jean Twedt, will my long eyelashes and flirtatious brown eyes to Mar- jean Osmundson. I, Ann Wells, will my crazy moods and that certain way of attracting the opposite sex to Betty Beck. I, Judean Weltha, will my flashy clothes and frank remarks to David Teigland. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, We have hereunto set our hand to this, our Last Will and Testament, at Randall, Iowa, this eighteenth day of May, A.

Junior News The junior class of Randall High School started out with fourteen shin- ing faces, with two new students entering thc class, Shirley VVest and Marie Wicks. During November, we received our class rings, and for some strange reason, everybody started using their hands instead of talking and Wav- ing them in everybody's faces. Everyone was thinking he was seeing ghosts, during our class play, 'iThis Ghost Business? Ther-e were several funny things that happened during this, such as: Jim's trouble with some of his speeches, Delbert's and Betty's black faces, Urville's sophisticated look, Marjeanis large and funny hats that she liked so well. The junior boys W-ere well represented in Randall's basketball team line- up, with David Teigland, Delbert Quam, James Jacobson, and Loren Mor- tvedt on the first team. As the year draws to a close we leave all our teachers with many head- aches, but we hope all is forgiven. XVC do, however, look forward to com- ing back next year. --Ry Marie Wicks. 20 5Ol3i lOI'T1Ol'e CiClSS Front row--Esther Alfseike, Judy Braland, Eleanor Tegland, Bonnie Will- iams, Marilyn Carlson.

Didn't the freshies look nice the day of initiation? We can't help but remember how cute we looked that certain day, the year before! Our class is very athletic, always ready to change the score and block those shots and passes. Three flashy basketball girls, Eleanor, Bonnie, and Judy, and one boy, Johnny, who sinks those long shots are on the starting lineups. The oth-ers on the bench and sidelines, cheered them on. The first part of the school year, we had two parties. The freshmen gave us a scavanger hunt, by the way, where did you get that dead mouse? The sophomores hid from the freshmen, who failed to find us. Well, even if We did have a few disappointments and some hard tests, We are advancing f?J to the next degree as Juniors and I think when We look back on our Sophy days at Randall, we will have some pleasant memories. -By Esther Alfseike. 21 ii --WHEN- M .1 ' , ,' ' rf ' 'N 'Q' !5i ':I?FJd L F5 'xf:f::sbuuu n . 3 gh .tif Tj:- GI If i:l'CSi'1ITiClI'l CiCISS Front row-Shirley Dyvig, Barbara Thompson, Nadine Ford, Lola Jean Matson, Joyce Thorson, Ella Mae Durby, Phyllis Tjernagel.

We had a few parties given to us and we, in return, gave other parties. Th-e parties were: CU Scavanger hunt, given to the freshmen by the soph- omores, 12D Picnic, given to the freshmen by the sophomores, C31 Ice-skat- ing party, given to the freshmen by the eighth graders, and 1-U, Ice-skat- ing party, given to the sophomores by the freshmen. Probably one of the most memorable parties of the year for the freshmen, was the freshmen initiation party. Seems like initiation is something you can remember all your school days and in the days to come after school is over. Basketball, too, has become quite an interesting activity for the fresh- men of '49. Most of the girls and boys were out for basketball or at least enjoyed the game and lov-ed to watch and yell with the rest of the people around R. I-l. S. Last, but not least-our studies. VVe found out that it was quite a change for us to have only four subjects fplus music for those who took itj in comparison to other years when we had only seven or eight! But still, we were kept busy and we hope to pass on with flying eolorsii so We can graduate, in three years, and enter the business world with confi- dence. So-teachers and all-thanks to all of you who have made our first year of high school such a success. -Joyce Thorson. 22 :A N -22154-' 2' ' 'M'- 7??0'rl. 100 7. uv ff' 71173 3x4:f.2. iz. 4 I 4, 5:3-ia 3 7 11 ZM7!

Unless Dr. VVylie Angell, fDavidl, widower and absent-minded college professor, finds a stepmother for her three wild harum-scarums before his rapidly approaching fortieth birthday, his eccentric old uncle Azarias Pea- body swears he'll disinherit him. Immediately each Angell Brattu loudly declares his own favorite for papa's new wife. Pat CMarianl, seventeen, nominates her dramatic teach- er, the stage's Mrs. Venetia Van Arlen tAnnl. Billy, thirteen, a candid camera fiend, favors the Kodak-Klub chapenon, Miss Winnie Oliphant- while Dodo, eleven, tJeanJ a bookworm, prefers the skinny Miss Twila Twitchell, lMarilynl, a librarfan for the Kiddi-es. Billy the brat, is played by Marvin, and VVinnie is played by Marlene. Poor Cousin Ruth Alden CLaVonneJ the Angell's housekeeper and door- mat, is in love with Dr. Angell but she is so mousy and unattractiver she is soongmad-e to realize she is out of the running. Dr. Angell who is writing a book about lizards, keeps a number of these reptiles in cages-which all but frighten Hydrangea fDeloresl and Epi- demic tLloydJ, the two Negro servants into fits. Grandma Grimes U0 Annl and Uncle Az lGaylordl are both from the farm and are determined to cure Pat's crush on Venetia Van Arlen. They decide to burlesque Venetia and her lisping son, Orley Uudeanh Az appears in shorts and Gram in slacks and ankle watch. Don Daggett is a college freshman who has a crush on Pat. He proves himself a hero over Orley. Don is played by Robert. In the end Ruth shows quite a transformation into a lovely person. Wylie is very' pleased. The audience seemed to be pleased too, thanks to The Angell Bratsf' --Ann Wells. 35 lffifxl --.1 .a . 1 Nun: lsr'-Sams! JUTIIOI' CIGSS THIS GHOST BUSINESS The Junior Class of 1948-49, presented their class play, This Ghost Bus- inessf' a three-act comedy, directed by Mr. Simpson. The trouble started when Joe Hardly fLoren Mortvedtl and Eddie Can- field falames Jacobsonl bought a cottage at the lake and brought their wives, Laura lShirIey Westl and Mabel fMarie Wicksl, there for a nice, quiet vacation. Suddenly, Mrs. Effie Forrest lMarjean Osmundsonl, a neighbor, brings disturbing news-Weary Rest, as the cottage is named, is haunted! A ghost appears and from then on there are shivers, suspense, and thrills! Magnolia fBetty Beckj, the colored cook, threatens to leave because she Ain't gonna stay where them ghosts is. Cooks are hard to find and Eddie's schemes for keeping her there and exposing the ghosts cause many exciting and hilarious scenes. Just as one ghost is exposed, and they settle down to enjoy their vacation, another one popsup and the excitement is on again. Laura and Mabel, who prove that women can't keep a secret: Marie lMelva Rompl, the French maid, who wants to talk to her departed uncle, Stevens C0rville Owensonl, the former own- er of Weary Rest, Mrs. Forrest, the talkative neighborg Bill lKenneth Johnsonj, the tramp, whom Magnolia believes she killed with a ketchup bottle, but who later turns up to ha'nt her, and Mose fDelbert Quaml, Magnolia's boy-friend, all were combined with Joe and Eddie to make this one of the snappiest mystery-comedies. -'By James Jacobson. 36 Mixed Chorus Front rowfShirley Dyvig, Melva Ronmp, Esther Alfseike, Judy llraland, Eleanor Tegland, Ella Ma-e llurhy, Marie XVicks, Phyllis Tjernagel.

H. Debban, who did a very nice job with the music groups. She also organized a band consisting of thirty-four students from the fresh- man class down to the fourth grade. Although this is their first year, we felt that they made a very good start. The first important event was when the mixed quartet went to Des Moines to sing in the State Music Festival. g U Our Christmas Concert, which was given at the Elim Lutheran church, under Mrs. Debban's direction, and with Mrs. O. J. Sopeland as accom- panist, was another high light with all the grades and the high school taking part in it. In February, we took our mixed chorus to Webster City. This event was the Hamilton County Music Festival, in which all the high schools of the county took part. The Randall Madrigal sang for the evening pro- gram. Un March 12, the day we waited for all year, the small groups repre- senting Randall, sang at Story 'City. This was the Pre-state for instru- mental and small vocal groups. The girls' sextet rated a first. Other entries were: the boys' quartet, the .madrigalg and Shirley Dyvig with a clarinet solo. Saturday, April 9, we went to Eldora where the mixed chorus and glee clubs sang. On April 29, we went to the district contest at Mason City. The state music contest was held in Boone on May 7, thus putting the final touches to a very full, enj-oyable year of music. 43 'SP A I5 ref?---at g. ui INF hr. elif ' il?

Although we didnit enjoy a very good season fwinning 2 and losing 5J, everyone feels We will do much better in the spring. Our diamond is vast- ly improved and we intend to make good use of it. Gaylord Oppedal and Quam did some complimentary pitching, but at times lacked the support from their team mates. We find P. Romp catching, Auestad at first, Hanson and Jacobson, along with Quam alternating at second, Mortvedt at short, and at third. We had a very dependable outfield of Brek- ke in left field, Jim Jacobson in center, and Willard Oppedal in right. Ken Johnson turned out to be a very great help to the team early in the season, before he injured his hand. Quam was our leading hitter, batting .500 and Auestad was next with 264.

She finished in fourth place at VVaterloo, making 12 out of 25 baskets. l3onn'ie Williams was high scorer with 431 points. Judy Rraland was s-eclond with 205 pointsg Donna Mae Olson, an eighth grade player, had 111 points and Ella Mae Durby had 60 points.

The Randall boys met strong opposition this season, winning two, while losing sixteen. This left th-em with a 11170 for the season. The Randall team was made up of Mortvedt at center, Eggen and J. .Jacobson at guards, and Quam and Teigland at forwards. The substitutes who carried much of the load, were L. Jacobson, Alfseike, Auestad, and A. Romp. Quam was high point man for the season, with 179 points in 18 games with an approximate average of 10 points per game. Mortvedt had the best free throw percentage, with 5070 hitting on 17 out of 34. Quam attempted the most free throws-103, hitting on 47. As we will only lose one man next year, it is considered that our squad will be stronger. The scores for the season were as follows: Randall Opponents Randall Opponents 31 .........
