Tama High School - Iuka Yearbook (Tama, IA)

Text from Pages 1 - 58 of the 1944 volume:

THE IUKA 2+ 1944 -4: X 1 1211 5 Z SS ANNUAL PUBLICATION OF THE TAMA HIGH SCHOOL TAMA, IOWA Published by the Sminr Elass Zrrewvrd Home Again, those are the two words that mean everything to our fight- ing men overseas, those to whom you have dedicated this 1944 Iuka. They'll do their part all right and do it well. They've had good training in the Army and the Navy, but they had something else, something you can get right here in Tama High. Yes, you have attended a few classes and participated in a few extra curricular events, won several honors, but if you haven't learned that art of SELF DISCIPLINE, that primary necessity of a democratic people, much of your education will go for naught. Discipline in the public schools of a Democracy should never be a forced discipline, but rather a voluntary discipline where each student has a deep conviction as to his duties and his responsibilities, and an eager willingness to assume them. Our boys over- seas know a lot more about freedom than we do: they know how hard it is to win, how easy to lose, and that there is nothing more worth defending once you have won it. But freedom is a gift to those who do not abuse it. So let us all on the school front shoulder our duties and responsibilities with such a spirit that we will show that we also know the value of what we have here and what a privilege it will be to have a part in this country's future when the boys come Home Again. BEN IONES. - f' 2523 422113142451 422431412431 Dedication In other years it has been the custom to dedicate the Iuka to some outstanding feature of school life. This year, though, nothing deserves so much honor as the courage and sacrifice of the former students of Tama High who are fighting all over the world. Nothing else is so important to us since our school activities are a part of the American way of life which they are battling to preserve. To the Tama- hawks in the armed forces overseas, in gratitude greater than mere words can express, we dedicate this 1944 Iuka. str 122' 'BI 'DZ 431' 61' 151' if 42 L- LYNN FRINK Editor in Chief 173 1 9 4 4 47 ALAN JONES K ELAINE WILLER Associate Editors ANNUAL PUBLIC ION OF 'r MA HIGH scHoo FRED PATTERSON ro Business Manager Published by the Senior Cl IIE-J GD GD IK III gaculfy IIPQDDJIK JIHII Seniors JIPQIDGDJIIQ JIUIUII llmicrclassmm IIBGDQDJIIQ IIN? ,Athletics JIEQGDGDK V Organizaliaus S ,Q gm fjfg? w CJ 5 ff Ns Ng W y X y - X-ffl i f W 5-XE ? 9 'f f r W f -'71 IIMDGIDIIK7 III Sfaculfy fldminisfrufivu BEN IONES Superintendent B.S. Coe College M.A. University of Iowa Having charge of a school is a difficult enough as- signment at any time, but wartime, with its scarcity of teachers, shortages of materials, and other problems, makes it even more so. We are fortunate in having two outstanding executives to guide our schools through these trying times. Mr. Iones is one of Tama's chief assets. He is known all over the state for his loyalty to Tama and his superior work in making the school what it is. Mr. Dethlefs had a harder job to do, coming into a strange place and taking up where another left off: and the way he accomplished it was a subject for amazement and admiration. The future of the school depends upon the precedents established today, and the present administration is doing much to safeguard that future. EDWIN DETHLEFS Principal General Science, Physics MA.

Iuka Stay This year we published our Iuka, and we hope you like it. You're all very familiar with the short- ages brought about by the war, and we had our problems with increased expenses and film shortages, but still we made the best of it: and it is our sincere desire that this book will be one to be read and re-read by you throughout the coming years.

Nafirfmzl flzflwr Saciefy This society represents to the high school student the highest honor to be attained upon the completion of four years of high school course. It not only includes superior scholastic achievement but also such personal qualities as character, service, and leader- ship. The first time students were admitted to the N.H.S. in Tama was 1923, and since then many have fulfilled a part of the requirements, but only a few have met them all. The greatest award of all, even after admittance to the N.H.S., is the honor of being the valedictorian or salutatorian ofthe graduating class-to this is accredited lean Reid and Fred Patterson. LYNN FRINK, President IULIUS LAUDERDALE Vice-Pres. EVELYN MCCOY, Secretary RUTH BURNES, Treasurer Scuinr Hlass It seemed as I went through high school that each year was more enjoyable than the last, and my senior year topped them all. It was fun to be able to look back and laugh at our earlier trials-the times we were late to class as freshmen because we cou1dn't get our lockers open, the struggle we had getting through world history, and the problems we ran into trying to raise money for the prom in our junior year. The traffic jams we caused when we tried to go up or down the wrong side of the stairs, that sinking feeling the first time We were late, Cdoesn't bother us much now, does it?D and that panicky stage fright when we were called on for pep meeting speeches all were terrifying at the time but now furnish material for dozens of reminiscent laughs. We seniors, being brilliant, talented, and privileged, walked off with a large share of the honors in all fields. The majority of the news staff were seniors, and the boys' quartet was a completely senior group. The band, glee club, mixed chorus, and debate group owed much of their success to seniors. Iim Mochal, besides Winning one declam contest after another and placing third in the whole state, won the sectional music contest with his baritone solo and placed second in the state. Lynn F rink won first place in both the sectional and state contests in the trumpet solo division: and Iulius Lauderdale rated first in the sectional and second in the state contest for tenor solo. Fred Patterson, Bette Batliffe, and Louise Soucek were also outstanding with their vocal and instrumental solos. Iim Mochal, Ccer- tainly gets around, doesn't he?l Iulius Lauderdale, and Spike Nelson formed an imposing trio for rival football teams to face. Voda Weaver and Ruth Burnes led the cheering sections for the athletic teams all four years. The senior play was a howling success, and the Iuka staff, starting behind the eight ball, came through with a super book. Five former seniors deserve even greater honor. Allen Houston, Ezzie Coleman, Kenneth Peters, Garland Doyle, and Darwin Twiselton sacrificed graduation to serve inthe armed forces. With the experiences and lessons of Tama High behind us, we are eager to try our knowledge in real experience, remembering the words of our class motto: Better to be a small success than a big failure.

First: To our valiantly struggling faculty, we leave unclassified memories, a new gray hair for each day, and a C-card for the trip to the insane asylum. Second: To the underclassmen of THS we leave our varied talents, our irrepressible humor, and our enegetic natures. Third: To the students and teachers alike we bequeath our theme song, Oh, How We Hate to Get our energetic natures. ,fmfzfidual Wills Mabel Abbott leaves her ability to whisper in Coach's study hall-and get away with it-to the poor unfortunates who don't possess this talent. Lily Amcha leaves 1,578 pages of lesson plans for the use of future normal training students, in case they are still reckless enough to take the course after seeing them. Emily Boriskey bequeaths her locker to anyone who can make the combination work, with the warning: Stand aside when you open it-you never know what will fall out. Norma lean Brown donates the contents of her locker to the paper salvage campaign, with con- fidence that it will relieve the shortage. Vernon Brown just wants to leave. Period. Ruth Burnes wills her long hair to the boys with butch haircuts. Evelyn Chyma leaves her high basketball scoring average to those optimists who think they can hit the wastebasket from across the room. Doris Cory leaves her kind, sympathetic nature to the faculty, for use on those unfortunate occa- sions when students don't have their assignments. Gail Feisel bequeaths the library-and Iohnny Nelson-to anyone willing to take them off her hands. Ruth Finzen leaves a pen and a bottle of ink for the general good. She hopes future classes will find them as useful as this class has. Lynn Frink leaves his quick come-backs to the athletes for pep meeting speeches. Cuma Garrett leaves her guarding ability tbasketball, of coursel to Ina Mae Mochal, for defending herself against people who persist in patting her on the head. Hazel Hanus leaves a collection of two-inch pencils as proof of her hard work, and as evidence that the school needs new pencil sharpeners. Iune Hardon leaves her collection of servicemen's addresses to start a lonely hearts club. Margaret Hegardt wills her giggle to Alyce Houston-she doesn't wan it to get lonesome. Gladys Heishman is willing to leave her nineteen nicknames to anyone interested. Pauline Hrstka wills her practically perfect attendance record to a number of underclassmen who are finding that their excuses don't work. Iulius Lauderdale leaves his inimitable laugh to any three persons who feel they can handle it. Evelyn McCoy wills the mystifying secret of keeping her hair curled in wet weather to the dozens of less talented girls who would like to know how she does it. Kathryn McGrew leaves her bashfulness to Alice Overturf. Eldon McNamee leaves his motor bike to Bud Zhorne to help him get to school on time. Mildred McMurray wills her basketball expertness to Leona McFate for safekeeping. Bob Metz leaves his economics book to Coach, who is probably the only person who would want it. Sam Miceli bequeaths his curly hair to the girls who have to pay for permanents. Iohn Minor contributes his well worn copy of Destry Rides Again to the library as a shining ex- ample of current literature. lim Mochal leaves his height to Mort. Delbert Mohrfeld donates his collection of comic books to the library in the same classification as Minor's book. Bob Nelson directs that his industry in study hall be left to Royce Sturtz, and his place on the foot- ball team to Bud Smith. Mary Ann Parizek leaves her habit of writing letters in school to Lois Suhonick. Fred Patterson leaves a large number of vacancies in the musical organizations. Hazel Poweshiek wills her habit of minding her own business to the future T's columnists. Maxine Prusha leaves the varied colors of her wardrobe to brighten the color scheme of the school building. Bette Ratliffe wills her leisurely, graceful motions to the underclassmen, to prevent traffic casualities in the halls. lean Reid leaves the office to the care of Norma Houston, Barbara Henle, and Shirley Nelson, with instruction to keep it neat and ring the bells early every day. Louise Soucek adds her cooking skill to the hcmemaking girls, to prevent those unholy smells of burned foods that occasionally float through the halls. Evelyn Thompson wills the muscles she developed by carrying tons of books around to the future normal training girls-they'll need them! Iohn Tomlinson passes on the privilege, willed to him last year, of driving the girls around in his car, to Bill Thill. Vernon Thompson leaves his frequent naps to Cliff Maiden, to give the teachers a little peace occa- sionally. Bob Tyler wills his artistic talents to the commercial art class. Richard Waite leaves his place of honor in shorthand class-one boy versus sixteen girls-to any- one brave enough to try it. Voda Weaver leaves her man-catching ability to Ianice Sincox-but not her men! Betty White wills her dancing ability to the boys of THS, so the girls won't have to dance with each other all the time. Elaine Willer leaves to Alan Iones the position of News Staff editor, and with it the privilege of chasing the 1ast-minute reporters as each deadline approaches. Finally, we appoint our loyal pedagogue and friend, Miss Lucie Stevens, as executrix of this will. In witness whereof, we hereby subscribe our names this sixteenth day of May, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and forty-four.

Front IOW- ICIHST I-CIl1de1'CiCI 9. ex OSITICIH, O junivr 611155 I am a junior in this house of learning known as Tama High School. In my first year as an upper- classman I hope I acted the part an upper classman should play. Next year I'll end my high school career, and if I haven't got much out of it yet, I still hope to get more. Studying took up a lot of my and my classmates time this year as a junior is expected to study. My class entered into just about every extra-curricular activity, and Where they Went they upheld their part of the job. We Won both girls' and boys' basketball class tournaments. In music I and other juniors entered in wholeheartedly. As juniors put on the Prom, we earned quite a sum of money to put on a good one. Our play was a success, and quite humorous. When next fall rolls around I will be a senior. I don't know how I will like this, but I am inclined to think that I would just as soon be a sophomore. The time when we leave this building for good is drawing closer and already I think I'11 miss it. I am fortunate to be a member of a good class, and next year we'11 try to step into the shoes left by the seniors who have left this school for a bigger school-life.

How- ever, you might be thinking wrong, because I just sorta got settled down to the atmosphere. Last Sep- tember I was glad I was over being a miserable freshman, and was this a happy thought. To my be- wilderment, though, I found geometry and biology even harder than algebra and general science. This meant study, so I studied, tPart of the time.J Now that I was a sophomore I thought I was a big shot until I found out there were still some juniors and seniors left in high school. Alas, those freshmen are pretty tough, too. In football and basketball some of my classmates were regulars, but I had to settle on the second team. Anyway, I had a lot of fun. Other things that used up my study halls were the band and mixed chorus. Here I developed some musical qualities which I land other peoplel never thought I possessed. Now that I am at the halfway point in my high school career and next year I'll be considered an upperclassman, I think I'd better get over being a kid and get serious in those final two years, preparing myself for a serious future, my future.

Qrcshmnu Glass When I entered the doors of Tama High School as a freshman, last fall, I went through those por- tals with an air of curiosity and expectancy. I was curious about what I was going to do, and I was expecting something if I didn't do it right. Those first few weeks were hectic. I had to run for classes, and excuses, to me, were a puzzle. Gradually, these puzzling things became clearer, and I settled down to my first lap on the track to higher learning. In algebra and science I became acquainted with equa- tions and formulas. Budgets became a word that meant something after a few months in business train- ing. Also I still worked on those same darn verbs, nouns, etc., in English, High school became fasci- nating, more or less. At least it drew me to it every morning at eighty-thirty. I was attracted by the outside activities in high school. land some of my fellow freshmen entered in athletics and music and some of us got to play in a few football games and sit in with the band. Those high school parties were swell, and I honestly believe that there was less hazing or initiating this year than ever before in Tama. In fact, I think I'm going to enjoy my next three years in high school.

'Q J., X O rggf LW K ffffllefics Paul Richert wash Last year when I heard that our Coach wasn't going to be back, I wondered if we were going to be able to get a new coach. Some time before school started I heard that a coach had been hired and immediately I began to wonder what he would be like. As you all know his name is Paul Rickert. His home is in Napierville, Illinois. He attended Dubuque University, from which he graduated in 1943 with a B. A. degree. He was captain and star of Dubuque's undefeated football team in 1942. We knew this was his first year as a coach, but after the first few weeks of the season we discovered that he showed the ability and understanding of a much more experienced coach. With a few boys of experience he molded a very good football team and had a much better team than was expected in basketball. We also found that he's a first rate teacher as well as an excellent coach.

Qrwfball I aspired at an early age to be one of those fellows who wear those gold sweaters with a big black T on it-so I went out for football. At the beginning of the year there were only three of those gold sweaters and T's -there were more, however, at the end of the season. Me? Well, no-but then we couldn't have had the good team we did if they didn't have scrubs like me on whom to practice! In spite of the fact that he had only three lettermen and a squad of inexperienced players, Coach Paul Rickert gave Tama High a winning football team. Our first game was definitely only a warm-up, as we lost to Grundy Center 25-0-but we learned a great deal! Records clearly show this as we won second place in the South Half of the Iowa Cedar League. In the first Conference game Tama played Belle Plaine to a 6-to-6 tie and in the next game defeated Brooklyn 12 to 0. Then came Montezuma, the Conference Champions, who we held to a scoreless tie, in one of the best games of the season. We then rolled over Marengo and Traer 6 to 0 and 19 to 2, re- spectively. In the classic game of the season against our old rivals, Toledo, we defeated them 13 to 0 to win second place in the Conference. This year the squad loses the nucleus of the line. lime Mochal, captain and center: Iulius Lauderdale and Bob Spike Nelson, guards, who will be lost by graduation.

Kaskctball Before I knew it, the football season had ended, and basketball practice was under way-with no lettermen back, and the squads made up of more or less inexperienced players. I though that maybe- maybe I would have a chance-so I lined up with rest of the fellows and shot a few baskets for Coach Paul Rickert. Ididn't think I did well at all, but I was chosen-at least to come to practice! I kinda wondered about that later, but I am tall, and it is good practice for a guard to have some one tall to practice on. But I didn't care if I were only a member of the second--second team: I enjoyed every second of it! Even if the scores don't show that we had a championship team as far as trophies are concerned, we still had a good team. We played good, clean ball all year long. For the records our team won four and lost six games in conference play: Dysart beat us in the county tournament in the first round 30 to 20: and for the sectional tournament Traer made a basket in the last second-and I mean last second!-and won the game 24-22. And yet ours was a successful season-please count down six scores, then down thirteen-don't you agree we had a good team? BASKETBALL Tama 28 ,,..,.. ,,....

So this year I brought my horn to school. adopted a serious attitude toward it, and joined the band. I'm certainly not sorry. Our community has reason to be proud of us, and of our Very capable director, Miss Eleanor Beatty. Not only was our band as a whole given excellent supervision, but I know I surely profited by my individual lessons. It was surely thrilling to me to be a member of the band as we marched in the fall bond drive and in our demonstrations on the football field for our home games. Not only there: we also played at the basketball games and pep meetings. In our more formal appearances we played in band concerts and P.T.A. meetings. As evidence of our accomplishments, we point with pride to our superior rating at pre-state contest. Our officers are: President, Lynn Frink: Vice-President, Dick Carpenter: Secretary-Treasurer, Iohn Tomlinson: Librarian, Cecelia McCoy: Manager, Dick Frink. Girls Trio: Alice Overturf, Ianice Sin. Trumpet Trio: Marvin Carpenter, Lynn Frink, Fred cox, Audra Peters. Patterson. MIXED CHORUS When we weren't rehearsing with the glee club, we were singing with the mixed chorus. We liked to sing, and we had excellent supervision under Mrs. M. Thomson: so we are proud of our superior rating at the pre-state contest at Marshalltown. This contest was not by any means our only appearance, as we appeared in the Easter concert, P.T.A, meetings, and also par- ticipated in the home contest. We elected our officers as being: Lynn Frink, president: Audra Peters, vice-president: Maxine Prusha, secretary and treasurer. Back row, left t0 fight! Vifqil Schmidt.

KAY McKAY CLUB The Kay McKay Club was organized in 1933 for the purpose of being of some service to the community. It is made up of girls from the freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior classes. About twenty-five belong to the organization this year. This year the girls collected about sixty pounds of waste fat. The officers this year were: President, Cecelia McCoy: vice-president, Ianice Sincox: secretary, Verna Spire: treasurer, Dorothy Plehal: reporter, Evelyn McCoy: and sponsor, Mrs. Frances Clark. SOCIAL EFFICIENCY CIRCLE OF THE F. T. A. The F.T.A. organization is based upon a most important fact: that the future of mankind is in the youth of today. If offers young people activities through which they can improve themselves and look forward to useful careers in that greatest of all occupations-teaching. The purposes of the Club are to cultivate the character qualities essential to a good teacher, to study the lives of great teachers, and to foster the development of student leadership. The following projects have been carried out this year: tea for grade teachers, alumni party, program for rural teachers club, and picnic for underclassmen. The officers this year are: Pauline Hrstka, president: Maxine Prusha, vice-president: Elaine Willer, treasurer: Gail Feisel, secretary: Evelyn Thompson, historian: and Miss Hepfinger, sponsor.

Declumafvry Seven students took part in the home declamatory contest, Ianuary 12. Those who participated in this contest were: Alan Iones, oratoricalg Alice Overturf, dramatic: Doris Cory, Kathryn McGrew, Marilyn Iohnson, Louise Kupka, and Iim Mochal, humorous. In the group Alan Iones, Alice Overturf, and Iirn Mochal were chosen to compete against Garwin and Lamoille in the preliminary contest at Tama. All three were given firsts. Next the winners journeyed to Traer for the pre-district contest. They were also awarded the first rat- ing there. At the district contest held in Reinbeck, Alan Iones and Iim Mochal received firsts and Alice Over- turf a second. The two winners went to Odebolt for the State Speech Contest. Alan was given a second, and Iim rated a third. The excellent work in declamatory this year was due to the students' work and the capable direc- tion of Miss Mary Welker.

Debate Debate in Tama High was a new organization to the pupils in school now. I know I knew very little about it except that it had something to do with arguing-then one day in assembly this club presented a formal debate, and it clarified for me the meaning of debate. Earlier in the fall they pre- sented an assembly that they called a symposium, which is a form of arguing. At this time local town's people discussed questions given to them by the students. From what the members of the club say, the practice debates held in the debate room throughout the year resulted in heated, interesting arguments. With such reports on debate, and since I now know something about what it means, next fall I fully intend to become a member. ,fzmirzr Hass Play Brother Goose by William Davidson.

I'll bet tempus never fugited in ancient Home the way it does in your senior year in high school. Time has been flying by me so fast I'm still spinning in the vacuum. Sure, it was going to be easy. We had struggled through three years of high school: now we could just relax and coast down-hill the rest of the way. Naive little rascals, were'nt we, First came the state tests, Could it be possible that there was something we seniors didn't know? Could be. Then there were the musical and athletic activities. We really weren't interested, but we felt it our duty to go out for them to support the efforts of the poor little underclassmen with our talents and ex- perience. tWhat a little white lie that turned out to bell News staff, declam, debate, different clubs, office work-well, we were getting bored with that leisurely life, anyway. Bed Cross drive, assembly programs, school dances, education week exhibits-those darn exams sneaked up and clipped us when we weren't looking. The sun came out again, and the world was bright and joyous-about the end of the football season. Tama 13, Toledo-0. Remember Sighi the Magicians? He didn't get away with a thing: we had all his tricks figured out in record time. Well, we thought we did. Christmas vacation whizzed by so fast we hardly knew we had one-and then those exams again. But we were ready for them this time. Only how do teachers get that talent for giving tests over what we don't think they will? The basketball season ended happily. Who cares what the other scores were?-We beat Toledo not once, but twice! Then there were the inter-class basketball games-but let's just sort of forget about them. In April things really started speeding up. An Easter concert and two music contests, first re- hearsals for the class play, the Iuka to be prepared for printing in record time-my studies got lost in the confusion. May was one mad whirl. Whose idea was it to have the civil service tests the very day after the prom? There were nightly rehearsals for the class play, and daily work on the one-act speech plays-I'll never forget that speech class. Neither, undoubtedly, will the shorthand class that was trying to study in the next room while we were going through our most hilarious pantomimes and imperson- ations. I'd advise every future senior to take speech. Nowhere else can you learn to think so fast as when you stand in front of the room, unprepared. Some of us had that thinking on your feet down to a science. We would choose our topic when Miss Welker called on us, compose our opening remarks as we walked to the front, start talking, and-just sort of keep on talking. Getting your assignments ahead of time is such a dull, ordinary life. Baccalaureate was a strain on our nervous systems. We not only had to sit still and look digni- fied for a long time, a colossal assignment in itself, but we had several yards of long gray gown to keep from tripping over, and stiff, flat caps perched precariously on our heads, with tassels tickling our noses at every false move. At Class Night we could look normal and enjoy ourselves, and by graduation niaht we had learned enough about coping with our caps and gowns to appreciate the effect they gave and catch the spirit of the occasion. Getting our diplomas was quite a thrill, and after we realized we were through with school, we were reluctant to leave. So much so, in fact, that no one was trampled in the stampede to get out.
