FOOTBALL The Schaller High School football team had a rather poor season this year winning two, losing four and tying one. Thirty boys including lO Iettermen turned out for practice a week before school started. The Rockets opened the season at Correctionville with a l2-O win. The score at the half was O-O but John Keenan broke away for a 60 yard ramble in the third quarter to put us in the lead. Don Gosch counted the second time on a plunge of three yards. Keenan gained l27 yards on eight tries to be the big gun for Schaller. Charles Barlow and Jim Currie were standouts of defense. The starting lineup for Schaller: Ronnie Wiese LE, Don Pyle LT, LeRoy Schwanz LG, Jim Currie C, Frank Bode RG, Charles Barlow RT, Glenn Johnson RE, Don Gosch QB, Bill Spindler LH, John Keenan RH, Frank Hase FB. Bob Holstein, Gerald Brown, Jim Hix, Larry Howard, Don Voss and John Bennett saw action in the game. Touchdowns Keenan and Gosch. September l6 Linn Grove traveled to Schaller and gave the locals a l9-6 licking. The visitors used some fancy ball handling to beat the Rockets in the first half. The score at the half was l2 to 6. Schaller scored their touchdown after receiving a kickoff. Don Voss shot a pass to John Keenan, good for l5 yards and Don Gosch bulled it over from the four yard line. The Rockets gained l29 yards to Linn Grove's 209. Gosch was out- standing on offense for the Rockets carrying the ball l7 times for 79 yards. Best bets on defense for Schaller were Jim Currie and LeRoy Schwanz. PAGE TWENTY-TWO Lineup changes saw Don Voss start at halfback and Larry Howard at defensive safety. Wilbur Schwanz started at left end in place of Ronald Wiese who had a severe muscle bruise. September 23 the Rockets traveled to Galva and trounced them 2l-l2. Schaller exploded in the third quarter, turning a dull ball game into a rout with a two touchdown blast. The locals could do nothing in the first quarter, but in the last half we received the kickoff and started a steady march down the field with Gosch punishing the center and Keenan running the ends. On our own 40 Keenan got into the clear on a short reverse and went all the way for Schaller's first marker. Keenan scored again on a Statue of Liberty play and Gosch plunged for the extra point. Keenan was Schaller's offensive standout, averaging l8.4 yards in l0 tries. Gosch's plunges were a big factor in setting up Keenan's dashes. Bill Spindler averaged 45 yards on three punts. Schaller got 236 yards rush- ing and completed one of seven passes for eight yards. September 30 the Rockets traveled to Cleghorn and were rocked by a series of sleeper plays as they were defeated 34-l3. Schaller was behind 20 to l3 at the half but Cleghorn pulled two sleeper plays for touchdowns. Schaller gained l62 yards on the ground and 22 in the air. Cleghorn picked up l72 on the ground and l28 in the air. Keenan was the offensive star for the locals, picking up 124 yards on l2 plays. Currie and Barlow led the line play on defense. Lake View came to Schaller October 7 and beat the Rockets 25-O. The score at the half was 6-0. Lake View intercepted a pass and went for a touchdown after the intermission and was never threatened by the locals after that. Changes in the lineup were, John Bennett at left guard and LeRoy Schwanz at right guard. Glen Johnson was back at his right end post after recovering from a knee injury. October l4 Wall Lake and Schaller battled to a scoreless tie. lt was a back-and-forth struggle between two evenly matched teams. Schaller made three great goal-line stands to keep the visitors from scoring. Schaller got 93 yards on the ground and 33 through passes. Wall Lake accumulated 94 yards running and 76 passing. Pyle, Barlow, Currie and Johnson showed up good on defense. The Rockets lost their last game of the season against Early 32-6. Trailing by only 7-6 the locals saw their hopes vanish when Early tallied on a pass in the closing seconds of the third quarter and broke loose for three more markers in the final period. Schaller scored first when Spindler went over from the 25. Schaller picked up 73 yards rushing and none passing. Early got l54 yards rushing and 72 passing. Schaller ended its season with a record of two wins, four losses and one tie. lt outrushed its opponents, 992 yards to 768, but was outgained by passing, l27 yards to 535. John Keenan was the leading ground gainer gaining 484 yards in 53 tries. Don Gosch rushed for l7l yards. Ten of the first team were seniors, and will not return next year. Larry Howard is the only regular who will be available for duty in the l95O campaign.

GIRLS' BASKETBALL The girl's basketball season started off with a bang this year with the Rockettes winning their first two scheduled games against Wall Lake and Nemaha. The next game was played against Galva. This game started the Rockettes on the downfall and they were defeated until they played the Alumni during Christmas vacation. At the County Tournament, played at Lake View, the Rockettes won a third place trophy. They met Auburn in the first game. With the forwards hitting well and some excellent jobs of guarding, the Rockettes won. The next game in the tournament was lost to Lytton but the Rocket- tes still had a chance to play in the consolation round. The consolation was played against Wall Lake. At the half the score was tied at lO-lO. The final score was Schaller 27, Wall Lake 22. Margaret Pyle was elected most valuable player and Patty Zoffka was elected captain.

John Keenan went all the way on the mound limiting Nemaha to three hits and striking out l5. The next game was won by a similar score over Wall Lake. John Keenan and Roger Hudson combined their pitching talents in the 9 to 2 victory. Keenan also led the hitters with three hits. Our first loss was at the hands of Hayes Consolidated. Hayes had five runs to our one. Roger Hudson started on the mound with Bob Holstein coming in to finish it. Keenan hurled a no-hit no-run game as we blasted Lake View 20 to O. Keenan struck out l4 and walked only two. Larry Howard hit a home run in the sixth inning as we scored lO runs in the frame. The Rockets received their second loss at the hand of Galva 8 to 3. Keenan, Hudson and Holstein did the pitching for us while Kaskey threw his slow curves for the victors. PAGE TWENTY-SIX ln our next game we squeezed by Early 6 to 5. Elmer Miller got our only two hits but they came when we needed them. Keenan went all the way on the mound striking out lO and walked four. Auburn beat us in our next game 4 to 2. Keenan again went all the way while we could get only four hits off the Auburn pitcher. Sectional Tournament The Rockets passed their first test in the sectional tournament by whipping Sulphur Springs 7 to 4. Holstein, Jim Hix, Keenan and Hudson got our four hits but we didn't need any more as the Sulphur pitcher walked ll and his mates committed three errors. Keenan and Holstein divided the pitching chores. We entered the finals by beating Nemaha 4 to l. John Keenan pitched four-hit ball and struck out l3. Gosch led the batters with two hits. We lost the finals of the tournament at the hands of Newell 13 to l. Keenan did the pitching and all the hitting for the Rockets. He got our only hit and drove in our only run. We ended up our season's play with a l to O win over Sulphur Springs. Keenan allowed only three hits and struck out l2. Our only run came in the fourth inning when with one on, Gerald Brown singled, advanced when Lyle Brown walked, and scored on Miller's single. All in all we had a pretty good team. We had good pitching and field- ing but were a little too weak at the bat.

The only guests in Mrs. Higgens' Mansion House are Ralph Wilson, a young doctor who loves Alice, the oldest daughter, and wants to turn the hotel into a rest home with himself the resident physician, Althea Coldwater, an old lady who isn't an old lady at all, but a young escaped kidnapper in disguise, Madame X, a fake fortuneteller who cannot get a license to operate in town and sells everybody magic wishing rings with hilarious results, and Igor Petroff, a so-called Russian adagio dancer, and whose partner quits him before he can do his act in the local motion picture theatre so that he has to hire Tildy Mae Jenkins, the funny, rattlebrained chambermaid. Others living in the hotel are Cinny, Mrs. Higgens' teen-age daughter, and the teen- age son, Eddie, both of whom contribute mightily to the comic situations in their own quaint ways. Many laughs were enjoyed by the audience. Other Juniors assisting in stage help, properties and advertising, Earl Box, Dempsey Currie, Joan Bennett, Naomi Teague, Rodney Constable.

Lowell Holstein was high salesman with 58755. The profit for the school was 515796. SKIP DAY Twenty seniors and our sponsor, P. O. Fure were up bright and early on Friday, April 29, l95O. We were off at 5 o'clock in four speedy cars for a day of sight seeing in Omaha. We arrived in Omaha about 7:30 and of course one car got lost. We were taken through Commercial Extension School and then the class went out to Boys' Town. lt was at Boys' Town that we met the carload of boys that got lost. Our next activity was a trip through the Joslyn Memorial. At noon we were guests of the Chamber of Commerce in the WOW Building. At l:3O we had a chance to see the World Herald Building. After our tour of the World Herald building everyone did what they wanted to do. Twenty tired seniors made it home before the sun rose the next morning after an exciting day in Omaha. PAGE THIRTY TWO CAREER DAY The Senior class of Schaller, and Superintendent CMr.i Reinhardt spent a day in Sac City for the annual career day, March 29. Margaret Kotz and Don Pyle were chosen oy the members of their class to represent Schaller. I think everybody will admit that it was a very interesting day and that they all learned something. SENIOR CLASS PICTURES At one o'cIock October II, the seniors left for Storm Lake to have their graduation pictures taken. It took all afternoon to take the pictures, then we were free for the rest of the day. That night most of the seniors went to the show, and then to the dance until IO:3O. We were supposed to meet in front of the Vista Theater at lO:3O. We all made it on time except Bob Holstein and Jim Currie who had a little delivery to make before they made it back. This was a big day for most of the seniors. JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET Rhapsody in Bloom was the theme of the Junior-Senior banquet which was held on May 6 in the gymnasium. The theme was carried out with flowers, balloons and other decorations of spring colors. The table decora- tions included blue and silver, the senior's colors.

CLASS NIGHT Class Night was May l8th, in the gymnasium. This event concluded graduation exercises. The program started with giving of awards. These were for music, records in attendance, and athletics and were presented by members of the faculty. We based the evening's theme on a class room in which Larry Quirk was the teacher. The program started with Larry making the class come to order with a horse whip. The morning roll was given by Jim Currie finding two boys missing, Don Pyle and Don Gosch. The Truant officer, Leroy Schwanz, was sent to find them. The teacher asked the question, what happened in l938, and Donna Merkley read the history. Later Larry asked Margaret Kotz for her Literature assignment which was the class poem written by Mrs. Mabel Alderson. While everyone was acting up, Larry said, I wonder what this class will be like in a few years. Then Vivian Carlberg read the prophecy. Then Jim Currie presented the Loving Cup to lletta Teague and Jim Hix. The class had a lot of things left over from their high school days so Marjorie Buehler read the class will and cleaned the place out.

PAGE THITRY-NINE CLASS WILL OF l950 Knowing that we have but a short time in Schaller High we, the senior closs of l95O, being of sound body lHalJ and mind fHal Hal? do hereby establish and publish this to be our last will and testament.

Do you think you'll be able to make the kids behave, Jim? LaBelle Werner wills her fickleness to Mary Davis. Or do you know what you want, Mary? CLASS POEM From these halls of knowledge we now depart. That we made the grade shows we're very smart. We really worked hard when we didn't play, Which maybe tells why Mamma's hair turned gray. Our parents worried and we wonder why We knew we'd pass in the sweet bye and bye. lf this class of fifty you have not met Their many qualities l'll now upset. First there's Eleanor who is very shy LeRoy says she's the apple of his eye. She is oh so dainty in her sweet way A winning smile she does ever display. To be a teacher is her biggest aim In a classroom we know she'll win her fame. Have you met young Spindler by any chance? He says, Come on girls, let's start a romance. He flirts with them all: reds, blondes and brunettes The way he rolls his eyes, they can't forget, He fell for a sweet little girl named rat For her he smiles and neatly doffs his hat. About young Donna we could write a book She has many hobbies but loves to cook. She said she learned that Don does love to eat 'Ihis way to his heart could be on so sweet. Miss Currie said, Merk loves to chase wild geese. But Donna said, Shucks, she's just a big tease. A boy named Larry has hobbies galore Ana spends much time in the second hand store. He might be little but we all here say There's not a better boy in l-O-Way. To till the soil is his greatest delight Next to seeing Eleanor every night. Vivian says that it really is fun To skip her classes and be on the run. At Zimmer's she works this cute little clerk Faithful in her work, this dear soda jerk A beauty career is right up her line Around ner thumb some young boy she will twine. Greetings and Salutations, folks l'm awake. At being tardy Holstein takes the cake On skip day at Omaha this was seen Young Boris face turned from rosy pink to green. To learn the counties is his one delight But there's not a girl that could Bob excite. lf there's one thing that Betty loves to do lt's argue with Price 'til her face is blue. At playing pinochle she's number one But there's no other girl that has more fun. Some day she says around tne world she'll go At some port or other she'll meet her Joe. The artist in our class is young McCoy Pictures so real, you can hear Ship ahoy. When in his buggy he decides to soar There's rcom for one more boys, now shut the door. At losing his way, we give him first prize Don't ride with him Eleanor does advise. Now Margaret Kotz is naughty but nice Don says to be with her is paradise A school in Omaha she will attend Where a business course she will comprehend. She starts a job with a determined chin A girl such as she is likely to win. Of Jerry Brown they say that this is true There isn't a thing he would rather do Than fill up his Ford and give it a crank Dangle his feet, and fish from Storm Lake's bank lt's the only time he doesn't chatter The rest of the time doesn't matter. 11 A studious girl is Marjorie dear She says, Well, isn't that why we are here? She might be boshful and a little shy But when she rolls those eyes, oh me! oh my! A school marm she says some day she will be Pull big boys ears when they do disagree. This Johnny Keenan goes for every sport For a cute brunette is his best report. Our LaBelle each night he hurries to see Their romance runs in such sweet harmony. Next morning he slides in before the bell Whew! l made is again, wosn't that swell? This Marjorie Buehler is quite a lass Struts her stuff and really shows class. But as for boys, they're a great big mistake They stir girls hearts and leave-an awful ache. As for me l'll teach and be my own boss. l'll make my own dough and eat my own sauce. This Don D. Pyle is really quite the guy For him Margaret Ann will testify. Bruno is chauffeur for bus number one When he's not working he really has fun With Phillips and Maggie, my life's complete. lt's never failed yet, our journeys are sweet. Miss LaBelle Werner is next in our line. With sweet winning ways and features so fine. Her eyes only speak to Johnny, my friend. She sees just him, there's no use to pretend. She is domestic and loves to keep house What more could be asked of onyone's spouse? We know Donny Gosch is minus a heart. In Iowa City he was so smart Twenty girls they say fell flat at his feet He quickly turned round and then did retreat. He said, Bill, let's see what's in the next town. l still have my first time to be turned down. The king of our class is a boy called Swede. A dashing Romeo we all agreed. A girl named Mary, he'd like for his queen. He'll patch your tires and sell gasoline. Being an orator he holds first place His part at the banquet none could replace. Our mischief boy is LeRoy, we all know He causes a rumpus and is not slow. The girls fall for him but he's very wise They just can't resist his alluring eyes. We call him Jimmie Lynch in his old Fordg He decks it with gadgets that he does hoard. The man of our class is dear little James. He's ch so fickle with all of the dames. But as o student he's right in the A's A business like boy with such winning ways. A lawyer he says some day he will be Dwell in the deepest of society. Last but not least is our alluring Fat. A great football player where'er he's at. ln his old pick-up he calls for his Jane Let them have their money, l have Lorraine. I might be little but boy am l tough l get in there and fight to show my stuff. This nonsense poem is over my friend. Our high school days have all come to an end. As years go by and we often recall We'll all agree this time was best of all. Seniors may come and seniors also go But we know i950 made the show.
