Some associations will be ended upon graduation: some incidents forgotten -but this book will keep alive for you this school year of 1945. Dedication To you, Miss Lucie Stevens, we dedicate this Iuka of 1945, but this dedication cannot measure adequately our true feelings of respect and admira- tion we have for you. You are an inspiration to all those with whom you have come in contact these past twenty-seven years of devoted service to the Tama Public Schools. More than a superior teacher of an academic course, you are to every one of us a true counselor and friend. Our former classmates in the service of our country tell us too you are not one to forget us when we leave. We are grateful, Miss Stevens, for having known you and for having been called your friend. When you leave, your absence will be felt, but memories of you and the grand lady you are will be cherished as long as we shall live. gacuffy Administration Ben Iones Superintendent B. S.

Sitting: Rosemary Iacobson, Ianet Lauderdale National Honor Society It is customary to choose from every high school graduating class a certain percentage of the upper fourth of the class to be admitted to the National Honor Society. The students chosen for this honor are to be commended for more than a superior scholarship because there are other qualifications to be considered, such as leadership evidenced by his being a class officer or in any way a representative of his class during his four years in high school. Service of course can be shown by his list of school activities, and character, one of the chief requirements, is judged on the basis of the student's conduct and attitude in school. The members of this society are the outstanding members of the classes from which they are selected, and membership in the National Honor Society is an honor coveted by all. Chosen also as ranking first scholastically in the valedictorian, Alan Iones and the salutatorian, George Betz who ranks second scholastically. ALAN IONES President AUDRA. PETERS, Vice-Pres.

Scrzirfr 611155 This graduating class of 1945 started its long and tedious Way to higher education in the fall of 1932. In that same fall Franklin D, Roosevelt was elected president of the United States. One month before our graduation we, with all the world, were shocked and saddened by the death of our president. None of us had ever known another president and few had ever had a better one. For this reason we think it fitting that we should set aside a page of this book devoted to his memory. The 50 Seniors that will leave Tama High this year have been at a handi- cap during their high school career. When as freshmen we sat in the hushed auditorium the morning of December 8, 1941 and heard Congress declare war against the Axis, our high school career assumed a more serious aspect. True, We had lots of good times and fun after then but against this was always held the fact that we were at war. Our outlook on the future was different: we were preparing not for a peaceful future, but one where we would have to fight for our country. The war reached in and took boys that would have graduated with us. It came into our lives and changed us. We were serious, althoucrh at times we assumed a false carefree attitude typical of pre-war years. We were the first class to graduate from Tama High School having spent our four years during a period when our country was at War. As older, more mature boys and girls we were the leaders in high school. We need not elaborate: merely look through the pictures of this book. In every field, music, athletics, speech work, or journalistic work, seniors assumed the leadership and were the core of every activity. We seniors will miss this school in future years but when we look back we shall see that we did a good job in high school. We only hope that we shall do individually as good a job in life's school as we did in school life.

This year in the fall of 1944, one could scarcely associate the smooth, well-mannered l?l students with the freshmen of two years ago. They have come quite a ways and have made a very special place for themselves in Tama High. For their officers, the class elected: Tom Malin, president: Darrell Rebik, vice-president: Marlys Walls, secretary: Ina Mae Mochal, treasurer: and Miss Holroyd, sponsor. The greatest obstacle that loomed before the luniors was-the Iunior- Senior Prom. The class obtained funds by presenting a play and by selling land shoving down the throats of any innocent victimsl popcorn, candy, and pop. Their methods were very effective. The athletic fields were invaded by the class-the basketball team, in- cluding nine luniors of which two were first team members and the football squad, including nine Iuniors, with four on the first eleven. Quite a few luniors were able to show their exceptional musical ability as was shown by the large number of Iuniors in Mixed Chorus, Glee Club, and Band, and their wonderful representation at contests. With all these achievements, the Iunior class are quite capable of taking their place as Seniors next year. Bottom row, left to right: Anna Miceli, Deanne Mae Lacina, Romona Woodworth.

Sophomore Class The freshman are green freshmen, the juniors put on a prom, seniors are lords and masters, but the Sophomores just go to school. In spite of this, they, as a class, did all right. Their big field was music, but the sophomore class's presence was felt in the athletic arena also. The Class had the coveted honor of giving the Christmas Party which was complete with all the trimmings-Santa Claus, gifts and all. 'Sophomores are known for their ability to co-operate and work together. This was shown by the prompt and efficient way they accomplished every task which came their way. Officers were: President, Marjorie Earnest: Vice-President, Vernon Neu- man: Secretary, Ella Mae Peters: Treasurer, Richard Loftus: and Sponsor, Miss Frink.

At least that's the Way sixty-four freshmen thought, only to find out that the upper classmen were their lords and masters and that they really had to work-or else! The freshman class has shown much promise and many of them are al- ready outstanding in musical and scholastic ability, as shown by freshmen representatives at the music contest and freshmen who would have an undis- puted place on the school honor roll. A major and minor letter were received by two boys who were members of the football squad as were two minor letters received by two other boys in basketball. Although freshmen can't show much, they have done very well with what they had, as was shown by their class parties and the fact that they were the first class to have a 10004 membership during the Red Cross drive. The freshmen are a very talented group and are sure to be a credit to Tama High when they graduate. The class officers are: President, lack Hanify: Vice-President, Bob Coleman: Secretary, Mary Io Witoskyg Treasurer, loan Mochal: and Sponsor, Miss Cunningham. rqcmizafiom Front row: Bud Zhorne, Cecilia McCoy, Ina Mae Mochal, Audra Peters, Alan Iones, Merle Kensinger, Georgia Betz, Alice Overturf, Darrell Rebik, Morris McCormick, Dick Burnes, Marilyn Casey, Alyce Houston.

It was later, however, when the work became more concentrated and worries set in. Ben and Georgia were constantly besought with queries: Are the couples' pictures taken yet?-Didn't you get any film? Merle and Cliff were everlastingly reminded of the necessity of procuring ads-then, too, they are responsible for taking in the money for Iuka orders. Audra's features were very clever, and they took time and effort-the Seniors seemed reluctant to divulge their wills. Bud Z. and Bob N. spent long hours on their sport Write-ups and the results show it-they're good! Dick Carpenter very capa- bly handled our musical sections with his Writeups. In addition to all these sepa- rate departments-there is another section which no single definite task, but acts as general Overseer- by rechecking data, proof reading copy, and keeping tabs on the various editors as to the progression of their write ups-and this section is headed by the editor-to him comes the worries and gripes of all sections. Yes, it was a big iob-but it was fun-ask any of these people and they'll tell you it was-watching the Iuka grow from a penciled typing paper edition to the finely printed book produced this year of 1945, the book we think is the best to come out of Tama High in a long time and for a long time to come.

Debate This is the second year that debate has been taken up in Tama High School. Students wishing to express their ideas and views on political and economic problems of today and wanting to develop more speaking poise joined this organization. For the first time in recent years Tama debated against other schools. On the question, Should the Legal Voting Age Be Reduced to 18 Years, Tama had two debates with Montezuma, one held at each school. They also participated in the District Speech Contest held at West Union, entering into competition with veteran debate teams from Decorah and Roosevelt High School of Cedar Rapids. Tama's affirmative team was composed of Ianet Lauderdale and Alan Iones, and the negative team made up of Alice Overturf and Georgia Betz. Declamatory Three students made real efforts this year to learn declamatory readings. These were: Shirley Moran, oratorical: Louise Kupka, Humorous: and Audra Peters, dramatic. At the district declamatory contest at G1adbrook,Louise and Audra were both second place winners. The good work in declamatory this year was due to the students' work and the direction of Miss Margaret Holroyd. Louise Kupka, Shirley Moran.

The action was foot- loose and hilarious in the comedy as one older sister tried to keep order in the house after the parents left on a trip to Bermuda. Problems of love, of how to keep a budget, and how to deal with a young adolescent who was forever getting in scrapes all confronted this young lady. She survived though and everything came out happily in the end as the parents came home. Senior Class Play Breaking away from a series of comedies as class plays, the senior class presented the murder mystery, The Thirteenth Chair. The story centered around the solving of two murders, the second of which was committed during the private investigation of the first. The second murder was of the person carrying on the investigation, Hard-boiled Detective Donahue tried to solve the murders but was prevented from arresting an innocent party by the clever inter- vention of Rosalie LaGrange, a medium who was concerned with the murders. Clever lighting effects added to the suspense of the play. The cast of charac- ters included the following: Helen O'Neill .

Under the instructions of Mrs. Edwin Dethlefs, Marilyn Casey and Mabel Coleman have studied physical sciences with special refer- 'M ence to nature study, history, civil government, geography, and literature, and also the ele- ments of psychology and pedagogy. Practice teaching is an important part of the course and these girls have proved that they will make capable teachers by their teaching at the public and rural grade schools. Prac- tice teaching is an excellent plan, since it brings the girls in contact with the actual con- ditions which she must meet after graduation. Marilyn Casey, Mrs. Dethlefs.

Kay Mc Kay Club The Kay McKay club is organized for girls who are interested in home making and personality development: to promote healthful girlhood, and to develop team work and friendship. The first meeting of the year was held in October to help the new members to get acquainted with the old members and to understand more about the club. During the year the girls have enjoyed a covered dish dinner and other parties. They ex- panded their treasury by checking coats and selling refreshments at the county basketball tourna- ment.

Morgan, R. Coleman. Seniors Rex Coleman. A speedy little quarter back who was outstanding for his re- verse of field and his excellent passing, better known as Iocko, he was prob- ably the smallest man ever to play on a Tama grid team. Alan Iones. Playing at left end, he was a very good pass receiver and an effective blocker. He was quite efficient on defense, stopping everything which came his way. Ben Morgan tco-captainl. A hard hitting and speedy full-back with plenty of drive, he did most of the ball carrying for the team. He also did a very good job of calling signals. Cliff Maiden. One of the biggest players on the team, he played right tackle. Always turning in a rugged game, he was a big threat to opposing players who chanced the right side of the line. Ervin Hanus. Playing his first year at the center post, he showed great ability at offensive and defensive play. He did a very good job of backing up the line which is a chore in itself. Ed Hill. Even though he usually didn't start the game, he saw plenty of action at the guard position. He was a good blocker and tackler and in general he had what it took when the going was tough. - Bud Zhome fco-captainl. Bud was a fine all-around tackle, knifing through on defense and opening holes on offense. He was the teams punter and had a high punting average. Q xv Q S 2 . a X , 'Q -.

With 14 lettermen returning, the Hawks completed a very successful season, capturing the conference crown for the fourth time in the last six years. With the disadvantage of many costly injuries, Tama played their annual warm-up game with Grundy Center which ended in a scoreless tie, In another non-conference game with a pow- erful Newton team, Tama fought a losing battle, coming out on the short end of a 25-0 defeat. This was the only defeat which was handed the Hawks all year. Displaying championship playing and excellent team work, the Hawks easily defeated each of their conference foes and also defeated Traer in the annual Armistice Day game by a score of 27-7. Summary of the Games Tama 0 Grundy Center 0 Although Tama was badly outweighed by the visitors, the home team carried the fight to enemy territory much of the game but lacked the necessary punch to put over a score, Tama 0 Newton 25 The Hawks were badly outclassed but not outfought by a powerful and experienced Newton eleven. The big team from the Central Iowa Conference was just too much for our boys to handle. Tama 25 Belle Plaine 0 Tama expected a strong Belle Plaine team for their first conference game, but the Hawks easily rolled over the hapless Plainsmen for their first conference win. This was what made the future look bright for the team's chances of winning the crown. Tama 31 Brooklyn 0 Tama notched a second conference victory by defeating Brooklyn in a rough and turnble game in which a number of Tama players were injured. After a slow start, the Hawks scored three times in the last half, running at will through their opponents, Tama 26 Montezuma S Displaying the best form that they had shown all year, the team showed marked superiority over the Montezuma eleven. Outside of several minutes in the first quarter in which Monte pushed over a touchdown, it was Tama's game all the way. This was the most important game of the season, because Montezuma seemed the greatest threat in Tama's drive for the championship. It was Monte who nosed us out of the first place berth last season, ' TCIIIICI 27 Marengo 7 Tama won their fourth conference game with a defeat over Marengo. The Hawks went out in front early in the game by scoring two touchdowns in the first quarter and scoring two more in the third. Tama 27 Traer 7 Despite serious injury to two key men, in a non-conference game, Tama rolled over Traer's Redhawks for their fifth victory of the season. Tama was always able to pick up a first down when one was needed. Tuma 14 Toledo 6 The Hawks out-played Toledo in their annual grudge battle and defeated them 14-6 to sew up the South Iowa Cedar Conference Championship. Due to many injuries, Tama was forced to come from behind to win, but once their offense was rolling there was no doubt as to the superior team. Bottom row: Richard Papake, Herbert Young Bear, Dick Frink, Bill Robeson, George Luther. Second row: Royce Sturtz, manager, Bob Olson, Iunior Piotter, Walter Kriegel, Daune Schoelerman, Rolland Bogle. Third row: Dick Bumes, Merle Kensinqer, Bud Zhome, Tom Malin, Vernon Pagel, Milo Buffalo, Darrell Basketball When Coach Burr sent out a call for basketball players and the first practice was started, the prospects for a good season was very bright. Probably the best group of boys that has ever turned out in many years reported to start the season. The anticipation of the future was not disappointing. The Hawks started rolling to tie for first place with Belle Plaine in the South Half Iowa Cedar League. Quite a bit of hard luck kept them from going farther in the tournaments. The Tama quintet started the season slow, losing their first practice game to Montour by a score of 22-16. However, they came back strong to swamp a scrappy Garwin team 40-21. Again when the team started their conference play, they started slowly, losing to Belle Plaine 26-18. Although they held the Plainsmen scoreless in the third quarter, they couldn't seem to narrow the margin. The game was hard fought with both teams trying to get away to a flying start in the league race. This defeat cost Tama a Conference victory but by no means put them out of the running. In the next conference game Tama came back strong, defeating Brooklyn, their second confer- ence foe, 29-9. As before, a strong defense held a supposedly strong Brooklyn team to only one point in the third quarter. A heart breaker at Marengo in the next game handed the Hawks their second conference de- feat, It was another case of Tama coming back in the third quarter to overcome an overwhelming score. Although the Hawks went ahead of the strong Marengo team, bad breaks caused the game to come out 33-32 in favor of Marengo. In two non-conference games over the Christmas vacation, the team defeated Gladbrook and Dinsdale by scores of 38-26 and 35-21 respectively. The Hawks then defeated four conference teams to put them back in the running for the title. They rolled over a weak Toledo team 46-18 and then nosed out a victory over Montezuma in a thriller which ended 31-29. Then came the real test for the Hawks in a return game with Belle Plaine, the leading team in the conference. Belle Plaine took an early lead only to be overcome in the last half by Tama. As the game ended the score stood at 35-27. ln a return game, Brooklyn was defeated 31-17. In a tournament warm up, Tama was swamped by a speedy Geneseo team with the final count beina 47-22. Coming back after the county tournament, the Hawks defeated three more conference foes to share honors with Belle Plaine for the crown. The opposing teams, Marengo, Toledo, and Monte- zuma, were defeated by scores of 42-21, 44-17, and 39-l7 respectively. It was decided that Belle Plaine and Tama would not have a play-off because of transportation difficulties caused by the war. Rebik, Coach Burr. Basketball Bottom row: M, Kensinger, H. Zhome, T. Malin, V. Pagel, M. Buffalo. Second row: Coach Burr, R. Bumes, D. Rebik. With the war has come a scarcity of good coaches. Tama was fortunate enough to get one of the few good ones left. As you all know, this is Coach Burr's first year in Tama. He came from the Ames Navy School where he taught in the electrical school. His home is in Burk, South Dakota. He received his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of South Dakota and his Industrial Arts degree from the State University of Iowa. Prior to this year, he has been coaching for seven years. Of these he has had five championship teams in basketball. Although Mr. Burr's specialty is basketball, he also has done a very fine job of coaching in other sports. Pictured above are the boys who Coach Burr molded into a smooth working ma- chine on the basketball court. Although Tama had a very fine team, they did not get as far in the tourna- ments as was expected. In the county tournament their first paring was with Garwin. This turned out to be a walkaway for the home team. Piling up a score of 73-12 not only set the record in the tournament but also broke many of the records set by any Tama team in or out of tournament play. With such an overwhelming score the for- mer evening, the hopes of defeating Geneseo in the second round were high. Al- though the Hawks played one of their best games and led Geneseo most of the way, a mere two points dropped them from the tournament-the score being 21-19. The two teams had an impenetrable defense which kept them from scoring close under the basket. Geneseo went on to win the county title and later reached the state finals in Des Moines. In the Sectional Tournament at Montour, Tama easily rolled over their rivals from the north, Toledo, by a score of 52-l7. This gave them a chance to play in the Dis- trict at Grinnell where they drew Grinnell for their first game. Although the Hawks fought Grinnell on even terms throughout the game, Tama bowed 35-40 mainly because the locals missed 21 free throws. This game ended the season. g .

Q bzzb .,.-, Highlights on the Down Beat That beating of drums you hear in September is only a sign that the marching band has started practicing. The suffering we went through during long practice hours was well re- warded between halves at all home football games when sport fans cheered our surprise formations, straight ranks, and peppy marches. Alice Overturf and the other majorettes high-stepped while their batons twirled, and the band marched on. The color guards, those little gals with heavy flags, also added color and dignity to the 44 marching band. When we returned to the band room, the din seemed unbearable to the English students in the room above, but they soon became accustomed to it, and were glad to listen to the lively marches of the pep meetings and at basketball games. Without Onward Tama even an exciting game would lack something. That new staccato version is especially interesting! Then we put our marches in the files and started slaving over concert music. After several successful concerts, we set out for Marshalltown at the break of dawn on April 5 and brought home nine first division ratings from the pre-state contest, The trumpet trio consisting of Lawrence Hebik, Peggy Dumbauld, and a little seventh grader, Pat Sincox, received the first first and started us off. Following them the brass sextette Clack Walker, Lawrence Rebik, Peggy Dumbauld, Delores Tomlinson, Benny Iones, and Hubert Rebikl and the clarinet quartet CDiCk Carpenter, Ella Mae Peters, Sally Rae Pelham, and Ioan Croskeyl came in first. In spite of a broken drum stick and a split drum head, the drum en- semble CDick Frink, Max Peet, loy Schraeder, Rosemary Wilson, and Patty Kilcoinl kept fight- ing through and came out on top! Also coming through with flying colors were four soloists- Lawrence Bebik Cagainl trumpet: Betty Frahm, oboe: Dick Carpenter, clarinet: and Cecelia McCoy, flute. Of course, our ever-winning concert band under the flashing baton of Miss Eleanor Beatty played its way to final victory. You all know the ability of the girl's vocal trio--Alice Overturf, lanice Sincox, and Audra Peters-because they have sung original versions of both old and new numbers at programs all year. These three are often joined by lanet Lauderdale, Rosemary lacobson, and Betty Frahm who complete the girl's sextette. Because of a great deal of hard work our Girl's Glee Club and Mixed Chorus Cslightly short of basses and tenorsl deserved and received first divisions rating at the pre-state con- test. Miss Helen Hayes also helped soloists Audra Peters, contralto and Alice Overturf, mezzo soprano, who also finished with highest honors. The glory does not end yet, however, forthe State Contest at Marion, Iowa, was also a red-letter day for the Tama-ites. So you see, the music you hear only comes as a result of hard work by Miss Hayes, Miss Beatty, and the T. H. S. musicians. Hats off to each and every one!!! .

The Band The band, under the direction of Miss Eleanor Beatty has once again made a name for itself in the realms of Iowa's leading musical organizations. The band has made several personal appearances this year and played at all the basketball games and marched at every football game. Thirty members of the band, taking part in small groups and playing solos, came home from the Pre-State Music Contest in Marshalltown with Division I ratings. The band itself was given a I rating on its two overtures, Minerva by De Bubertis and Coronation by Skornika. Several parties were given for band members throughout the year and on the evening of April 9 the mothers of band students gave a banquet for all members of the band and some special guests. At that time the marching band awards were given. The band officers Were: President, Dick Carpenter: Vice president, Dick Frink: Secretary and Treasurer, Ella Mae Peters: Librarian, Cecelia McCoy, and Manager, Louise Kupka. Bottom row: E.

Girl's Glee Club Miss Hayes worked very hard with the girls this year and succeeded in producing a very fine Girls' Glee Club. They received a Division I rating in the Pre-State contest which is considered as Superior. The girls also made numerous personal appearances 'his year singing for P.T.A. Meetings, school assemblies and public programs given in the school. Some very good soloists and groups were also under Miss Hayes' direction and almost all of them received Division I ratings. Delores Tomlinson provided the piano accompaniment for both the Mixed Chorus and the Girls' Glee Club. The officers are: President, lna Mae Mochal: Vice-President, Alyce Houston: Secretary and Treasurer, Dorothy Zearfoss. 1 l Bottom row: M. Betz, P. Dumbauld, S. Hartsell, D. Iochims, D. Tomlinson, A.

They received a Division I rating in the Pre-State con- test and were complimented by the judge as being a very fine and well trained group. The chorus worked hard each Tuesday and Thursday on various numbers including their two contest selections, All in an April Evening and American Prayer. The mixed chorus also made several personal appearances during the year, in high school assemblies and in one P, T. A, meeting. Miss Hayes should be very proud of her mixed chorus as it was a fine appearing group and had excellent tonal quality.

S. A. in search of an ideal American. As I stepped from my airplane, piloted by a grinning flyer, Arnold Chantland, I hailed a taxi and was surprised to find behind the wheel a sweet natured young woman, Marilyn Casey. I di- rected her to the N.B.C, radio station. There I asked the switchboard operator, Pat Sadler, to announce my arrival. The head an- nouncer, Richard Wayne Carpenter, greeted me with a subtle remark regarding my early ar- rival, but reluctantly guided me to the studio where the Harry Iames of today, Marvin Carpenter, was directing his band in a special broadcast. His guest for the week was that shy little opera star, Gloria Youngbear. I enjoyed the program very much, but had to leave so I could interview Iowa's favorite congress-woman, smiling Irene Iohnson, who was listening to complaints of the country's most noted criminal lawyer, Robert Nelson, when I arrived. She presented some interesting facts and announced plans to work with that political genius, Corrine Nielson, who puts her ideas over well with her famed gift of gab. She invited me out to lunch, and we dined at the famous Hlas Tea Room, managed by that quiet lady, Maxine Hlas. A prim waitress, Wilma Wiese, took orders tor huge T-bone steaks fried in butter with all the trimmings. Seated at the table next to us was that business-like, Margaret Pelisek, who recently inherited millions of dollars in diamonds. She was surrounded by reporters from local newspapers. Among them was Loretta Werner who remained reserved in spite of the excitement. As we left the cafe, I noticed rushing through the doorway, F. B. I. Agent, Carl Schroeder, who was engaged to find the thief of that famed statue, Chiaica Mabita,-Crateteca-Ioceta,'' that was purchased for the restaurant from its sculptor, Bernard Shilhanek, that strong, silent artist. In order to do some necessary research I walked to the public library where a meek, little li- brarian, Ianice Sincox, helped me find a book by an amusing poet of the day, Maxine Crabtree. The book was illustrated with lazy little characters that resembled their creator, Bill Thill. Before leaving the city I wanted to take in a night-club, so decided to brush up on my foot- work. At the dance school I met none other than Leola Schroder, the Rhumba instructor, who was always such a jitterbug. She gave me some good pointers, and I went confidently to the dance. A smiling hat check girl with an hour glass figure, Marilyn Bramblett, took my wraps, and I proceeded to find a table. The floor show had already started-its main feature being that charming chorus girl of chorus girls, Alice Overturf. When the dancing began, I noticed that sporty movie-idol, Ben Morgan, with Shirley Moyer, the best dressed pin-up-girl in the business. As I left the club at three o'clock in the morning, I saw a quaint old-fashioned milk-wagon driven by Ed Hill, who used to stay awake nights thinking of ways to torture teachers. I caught a late train to a mid-western city, so that I could attend the state fair. As I got off the train I noticed one of the conductors, Robert Keller, hurrying toward the reading counter in the depot. The saleswomen, who left her book long enough to wait on him, was Norma Houston, I caught a bus to the fair-grounds, and went directly to the stables where the horse-trainer, Rex Dolash, was just parking his Model A and getting ready for the big races. Iockey Ellen Henle was getting her favorite runner in condition. After the horse won the first race, I walked to the show tent where that city-slicker with the wavey blonde hair, Lester Graff, was buying a ticket for the show. As I entered, the drums were announcing the act of a world famous tight-rope walker, who was always known by his farmer's stride, Erve Hanus. The crowd roared when the giggling comedian, Glen Vail, started cracking the same jokes he used back in 1945. Betty Wiese and her troop of tap-dancers continued the performance. As I looked at my watch, I discovered it was time for the fighters to begin so I hurried toward the place. Wrestler, Hugo Zhorne, had just entered the ring and cheers rose loudly to encourage him. His proud trainer, ex-football coach Merle Kensinger, whispered something to the champ and the fight was on. Naturally, Zhorne won the match in one minute flat so . . . First Row: Cdown!

Through The Crystal Ball Ccontinuedj After seeing a professional baseball team with Marvin Collinson as star pitcher, I rushed to the bus depot to catch a ride to the State University. I sat beside someone who looked very familiar. I soon learned that it was Miss lean Booth, stenographer, who was on her way to Tama for a few days. I decided to stop off there for a few hours, too, I drove through Columbia Township and found Mable Coleman. not jerking sodas, but teaching fifty pupils in a modern- ized rural school. I passed Georgia Betz driving 100 miles per. They told me that she was so interested in her farm work that she always hurried to get back to it whenever she had to leave to inquire about some new planting or plowing de- vice. I stopped at a neat white farm house where Bar- bara Henle was efficiently working in her garden. She told me to say, Hello, to Rosemary Iacobson, who used to flirt all the time, when I got to the Iowa University. where she is now Dean of Women! When I got to the campus I saw the head Language Professor, Ronald Anderson, striding across the lawn where I saw a Keep off the grass sign. I guess he's iust a typical absent-minded professor. A guest at his Spanish class, the great lecturer, Ianet Lauderdale, greeted me with rapid Spanish phrases that I could not understand. She very frankly told me that I was not a Good Neighbor. I noticed students rushing toward a small building. It must be a soda fountain-but no, the sign says Peters Date Bureau. Audra Peters, as proprietor, was running a very good business. In Science Building, I found Alice Mochal, now a striv- ing chemist, working on an experiment, The figure dey- terity she owes to her boogie-woogie playing on the keyn board of a T. H. S. piano. But I can't stay in the middle-west. I have to find some typical Westerners for my magazine article. On a ranch in Montana I found an easy-going, slow moving cowboy, Alan Iones, known to his buddies as Slim. I-Ie informed me that his former partner, Rex Weitzell, had been in a sullen mood and had gone to North Africa to hunt elephants. As I passed through the little village, Sheriff Cliff Maid- en, still totin' his trusty shootin' iron, was ordering his citizens to stay law-abidin' . . . or else! One last stop . . . Hollywood. Stylist and dress-designer, Betty DuPre, has just made her first successful try at movie designing. And behind the stage settings we find not Perc Westmore, but Merl Page, Make-up artist for all the most famous stars, In a Los Angeles factory a full-time riveter, Mabel Braye, still chewed gum in time with the machines, The Ideal American?

America at war has made unprecedented demands in volume of freight and passenger traffic, and they have responded with speed and efficiency. They have thus in a large measure, contributed to our ultimate victory, The wood preserving industry has participated appreciably in the establishment of these war-time transportation records by supplying a protection which makes modern speeds safe. Engineers speed with confidence over stable road beds, tested rails, and treated ties unweakened by decay. Prominent Midwest and Transcontinental Railroads have manifested their confi- dence in Iowa Wood Preserving Co. Service in the most tangible way possible-by placing orders with us for increasing amounts of treated timber.
