At one end the gym was beautifullyckmorated with a false ceiling of stars covered with silver dust, and at the 'other end, a false ceiling of red and green crepe paper, under which refreshments were served. A beautifully decorated Christmas tree stood in the centr of the gym. Mr. Plapp played the piano while we sang Christmas carols. Later we were visited by Santa Claus. Our last semester was a busy one. The annual wascur big job, and a lot of time outside of school was spent on completing it.

May also brought the Annual School Picnic, the Baccaf laureate Service, and finally the highlight of our high school career--Commencement, when we received our Diplomas and became alumni of Walnut Grove Township High School. ew-.af yay-Y 'YAY of ,ff '-ff1 'vffr'vef'P '?'V'f 'iff' AeA. an--vt AJ. .,. 45--.1349 J-, 4...4,,J-'-ill-,A -'-Ylrv f'4efA- r1 - - 1:- CLASS PROPHBCY One afternoon in 1955, as I was watching a rodeo in Phoenix, Arizona, I noticed in front of me an artist who was sketching the rodeo. At first I thought she was a cowgirl, but as she turned I saw it was June Quanstrom, now a noted artist. I had heard that she was just back from Europe. I recognized the man sitting beside her as one she had known back in high school days. He was eating a piece of cheese. As I cried out her name she turned and recognized me. We sat there and talked of old times. She told me that the man was her manager, but it looked like ,to me that he would rather manage her. She also told me The calf roping contest was on that Gus Lynd, a famous orchestra leader, was playing for the dance that night. With him was Bud Main, now known as Larry Lamar. he is an engineer and gives all the is sponsored by Suddsy Soap,1 e soap soft in only 4 days ---- Gee! What am commercial! Then the rodeo clown came into the crowd. Were my eyes deceiving me? Simpson, up to his old tricks, making found out that Stuart was working married to one of his ten girl friends. his talented singer, In Bud's spare time girls free rides. He that makes your hands I doing giving them a the ring to cheer up No, it was Stuart people laugh. I get money to get Well----maybe the to rodeo was going to be more interesting than I had thought it would be. and one of the field judges was inspecting the ties. It was Bill Bergll Bill in personal life is a lawyer and is forever getting pretty girls out of trouble. Later in the afternoon they had stunt flying and as the planes landed I went over to see the pilots. Much to my surprise one of them was Carl Hammerlund, noted stunt flyer. Talking with him a while I watched newspapermen and photographers running around us. One of them came dashing up shouting nHello!n at me. You might know! Bob Riesebieter, world famous reporter. Say what is this a class re-union? Who was that over there? Ahal Sitting on an old fence I found Lois Hopkins, just as pretty as ever, trying to show her youngest how to write shorthand for she is a world champion typist and shorthand writer. Her husband is owner of the rodeo. I didn't get to meet him but I think I've met him before in high school days. We talked while watching a man calling to his children, there were about ten of them. Suddenly I recognized him, Donald Bjorlingl He and his wife, a former Altona girl, were taking a I . I evrrvfsaf-v'vfeffw'tftvfwf''vfrfff' fr+-tfir1P'w- f'r'1ffwfi7fvtJ'?VQ?

He told me that Nancy Stuckey was in town with an opera company which was giving its last performance that night. Walking on a few minutes later I saw a man arguing with an old Mexican who didn't understand a word he said. It was Carroll Thomson, shouting for about the first time I'd ever heard him. Well, it is getting on in the day and the dance will start soon, so I will have to leave you now. Oh, yes! , After a trip to South America with June, Lois and ?Nancy, where we went looking for gold,we came back 6 months later with 34,000,000 found. Gordon financed the trip. uSilly Boyln Now I'm here on vacation from my job as an actress. Well, really I must go. Bye now! Joan Fansler Robert Riesebieter Donald Bjorling N.

On March 14 we sponsored a box supper at the high school. Everyone from this community and surrounding com- munutues was invited. For the first part of the evening everyone young and old enjoyed the recreation period. led by Harley Andrews. After an hour of recreation we gave a program. A traveling comuany from Pikes Peak represented by the girls and the band that accompanied them, the boys. The girls were dressed in old fashioned clothes. Mr. Plapp was our guest conductor. After the program the boxes were auctioned off by Mr. Plapp. There were many beautiful and clever creations. After all the boxes were sold everyone ate. Lunch was sold to those who didn't buy boxes. Dancing was enjoyed after- ward. We had our class play during the latter part of the school year, The name of it was, nThe Groom Said No,n by Ruth and Nathaniel Hale. The cast of characters consisted of eleven oersonsg four boys and seven girls. We had two wonderful directors this year, Mrs. Loren Johnston and Mr. Plapp who helped us make a big success of our play. On May 2, we were all tearing around like 'mad' doing last minute jobs for the Junior-Senior Banquet. It was- held at Waunee Farms near Kewanee. The Senior colors and motto was carried out in the decorations for the table. Corsages of white roses were presented to the Senior girls and boutonnieres to the boys. A delicious dinner was enjoyed by all who attended. After the Banquet the welcome was given by Betty Behringer and the response by Lois Hopkins. We then went to Galesburg to the Custer Hotel for the Junior-Senior Swing Time.. we danced from1eight to twelve to the music of Hal Wiese and his Orchestra. The Banquet proved to be a great success as did our Junior year. K S 7 15 fr E 1 P4 S ,s .ff S H r Q: a S 1 f , A1r'bf?'7fef'7'ifififff 5f?'7'7 ?f?'

F3 A. emblem is made up of five symbols--the owl, the plow, and the rising sun, all within the cross section of an ear of corn,surmounted by the American Eagm, On the face 'of the emblem appears the words nVocational Agriculturen, and the letters of HF. F. A.n The owl is symbolic of wisdom and knowledgeg the plow is the symbol of labor and tillage of the soilg the rising sun is mmmdb- ic of progress and the new day that dawns when all farmers are graduates of vocational agricultural schools. T116 cross section of the ear of corn is indicative of the na- tional scope of the organization, as the American Eagle is also. The emblem is protected by copyright. The Altona Chapter is now eight years old and has had one UAmerican Farmeru,Donald Erickson. We have six nState Farmersn. One of the most important F. F. A. activities was the show at Roseville on August 25-24-25, 1946. There were fourteen boys who exhibited livestock. In the F. F. A. the boys won 5245, and the Open and Junior Open, S408,mak- ing a total of 5655. Another event was the State Fair, August 8-19. Three boys who showed their livestock there were Claude Boland, Roger Olson, and Robert Keener. Claude Boland had Poland china hogs there and won lOth and a 12th. Robert Keener had Durocs and won 5th and a 12th. Roger Olson had Red Polled cattle and won three lsts. All these prizes were good, considering the competition that they have there at the Fair.

We have had three practices a week - the first thing in the morn- ing on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

We hope to play several numbers in the High School Music Festival which will be given shortly after school is out.

At the first meeting of the year duaLettermen elected as their officers: Stuart Simpson asi President, Gordon Messmore as Vice-President, Robert Riesebieter as Secre- tary and Treasurer, and Clark Main as Sargent-at-Arms. One of the main ideas of the A-Council is to give letters to the boys earning them. Boys earning letters in Baseball are as follows: Stuart Simpson, Gordon'Messmore, Robert Riesebieter, Robert Seller, Claude Boland CurtNel- son, Everett Main, Harley Pearson, Kenneth Eagle, Clark Main, and Carroll Thomson. Gordon Messnore was elected Honorary Captain of the 1946 Baseball team. Numeral winners in Baseball were Charles Nelson, James Quanstrom, James Swanson, Everett Steward, Fred Hen- dricks, Sam Olson, and Bill DeRue. Every year the A-Council has the problem ofthe Cheer- leaders. It was' decided upon by the Council to have try- outs as it had been done other years. This year- we se- lected Nancy Stuckey, Dorothy Pyle, Patsy Messmore, and JoAnn Johnson as Cheerleaders.'Right after Christmas Patsy Messmore left for Wyomingw So, as usual, the Council had to undertake to find another Cheerleader. Tryouts were held, and Bettejean Grahn was elected to fill Patsys place. Our Basketball season ended in March, with seven mem- bers winning letters. They are as follows: Stuart' Simp- son,'Robert Riesebieter, Everett Main,Robert Seller, Ckark Main, Harley Pearson, and Kenneth Eagle. Stuart Simpson was elected Honorary Captain for the 1946-1947 Basketball season. ' Those receiving numerals are as follows: Curtis Nel- son, Claude Boland, Charles Nelson,Char1esBehringer, James Quanstrom, Roger Boland, and Everett Steward.

BASKETBALL , 7 M About a week after baseball season was over, ,Coach Shaw called a meeting to find out how many boys would be coming out for basketball this year. There were 22 boys who reported for practice, and after about four weeks of practice, Coach weeded them down to 17, out of which Bwere held for the Varsity Squad. Every night after school we had a stiff practice, and finally after weeks and weeks of hard work, our first game rolled around with the Alumni as of former years.
