SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On August 31, 1936, 13 prisoners, Dorothy Chaney, Robert Cooper, Jimmie Filbrandt, Fred Eolkerts, George Folkerts, Alice Frerichs, Laverne Gast, Cecelia Harms, Jo Ann Johnson, John Kiger, Nettie Van Hove, Herbert Zimrnerman, and James Potgeter with their warden, Miss Kremenak, started their twelve year sentence for education. During the first' term Jimrnie Filbrandt escaped and Barbara Sheldon was brought in forimisconduct. After three months of parole the entire group was again comrnitted to the brick walls for trying to flee from our paroler. James Sapp and Betty Woodley were also committed to our warden, Miss Thompson. On the fourth week of our imprisonment James Sapp escaped. Our warden, after another brief parole,was Miss Eckel. John Kiger was :niss- ing from our down-hearted little group. Miss Eckel was again our warden for the fourth term. Shirley Mullen, James Sapp, Dwayne Kruse, and Harold Rosburg began serving with us. The warden for the fifth term was Miss Tjernagel. Dorothy Chaney was :niss- ingg Ray Landau and Wanda Wagner were added, but were later transferred to Eldora. The same group of prisoners served the sixth term under the same warden, Miss Tjernagel. The seventh term was served under Miss Peterson. The addition to our band was Arleta McDonald. Betty Woodley and Barbara Sheldon escaped during the year. Our parole again proved to be a short one and our eighth termwas served under Mrs. Janssen. Marvin Melton was comrnitted to the prison during the year. Nettie Van Hove was transferred to Owasa. After another three months of parole we were transferred to the High branch of the prison. Maxine Fisher, Hattie and Florence Hemmen, Dale Heetland, Tom Kruse, Irene Muller, Duane Wikert, Gene Hoffman, and Marjorie Jaspers were added to our group. Our warden was Mr. Amsberry and the guards were Mr. Harper, Mrs. Cable, and Mrs. Halasey. During the term Nettie Van Hove was again transferred to Steamboat and Gene Hoffman escaped. The warden, Mr. Amsberry, assigned two new guards, Miss Wonder and Mrs. Rosenberger along with Mrs. Halasey to watch over us during our second term in the new branch. Irene Muller and Duane Wikert were missing at the beginning. Laverne Gast escaped before the end of the term, Arleta McDonald was transferred to New Providence. Herbert Zimmerman and Cecelia Harms escaped and Maxine Fisher was transferred to Iowa Falls before we began our third term. The warden again was Mr. Amsberry and the guards were Mr. Simester, Mrs. Rosenberger and Mrs. Halasey. The beginning of our last term saw all of the prisoners back within the familiar walls. The guards were Mr. Van Dyk, Miss Van Wyck, and Mr. Simester and the war- den Mr. Amsberry. During the term Hattie Hemmen escaped. As the little group of prisoners look ahead to graduation day they will rejoice that they are soon to be set free from the prison walls. So, as the class of 1947-48 comes to an end there will always be a warm spot in our hearts for the little school in the little town of Steamboat Rock. 1 1
