Why do you brush your teeth with gunpowder'7 Mother: L Tell the minister what Mama's little darling did PROPHECY In my old age I sat in my rocking chair paging through my scrap book until I came to a picture of my classmates. This set me to wondering what happened to all my old friends. As I sat thinking about them I dropped off into dreamland. The first one to appear in my dream was MYRTH AKKERMAN, she was running a first class elephant farm in Africa. Next appeared MARILYN CALLIES, EVELYN WILLEMSSEN, and GLORIANN TJARKS. They are all nurses but they say Gloriann was leaving the profession soon to mar- ry a millionaire, who was one of her patients. The other two are definitely going to be old maids. As I was walking down the street I saw a sign which said Van Hove's Parlor of Peace one block north. I followedthis sign and found JAMES VAN HO'VE as the mortician for his brother's funeral parlor. He took me home to meet his wife who was none other than SHIRLEY EDEN. Her maid was another classmate, PHYLLIS SWYTER. It seemed they were such good friends in high school that they couldn't be separated and James could only marry one. DEAN BOYKEN and ERNEST BEENKEN had a combination lunch room and service station. Their motto is L Service with a Wink , and to help them with business was MARILYN PETERSON, who was always a good natured gal in her school daysg she was their chief cook and bottle washer. COLLEEN RIPPENTROP is an interior decorator. Her first class pain- ter is DONALD FRITZ. Their project for the week was the decorating of the White House, for the President, which is none other than HERBERT HARMS. RUSSELL FISHER and LARRY PETERSON are his Chauf- feur's and each are driving the latest car especially designed for him. The car is a cross between a hot rod and Mehlan's old Ford better known as a puddle jumper. What a car. MARCELLA BOEKELMAN is a Power's Model in Chicago. Working across the street in Arthur Murray's dance studio was GRESHAM ROS- KAMP. He always did like the girls. Hump. That was funny, can you think of anything better to like? BETTY MILLER and RITA MILLER now own the Waldorf Astoria. WILLIAM SMIDT is chief janitor. It took him quite a while to work up that far. THELMA ULLMANN and GARY ZWEIFEL own Tonys Super Mar- ket , the largest in the midwest. They give away rotten potatoes as a cus- tomer special. V IVN ep In the Metropolitan Opera we found DORIS KUCHENREUTHER, a mezzo soprano in the leading role, and singing opposite was a great basso, KENT HOOVER, who carried his tune in a bushel basket. In Atlantic City was the Mrs. America contest. Here we found MAR- CINE HANNA had just won over 64 other girls and is going to compete in the Mrs. Universe contest. I don't think she will have any trouble winning it because DONALD RIPPENTROP is the chief judge. It couldn't be that an old classmate would show favoritism could it? Jane Froman finally retired from TV and a young up and coming star took her place. This star was none other than VERLA JANES. After ROBERT HOFMANN was through school he grew to be seven feet, three inches in height and was the star player for the Minneapolis La- kers. DONALD GERDIS played pro football with the Chicago Bears. Of course he was farmed out to the Titonka Cubs for years before the bears ac- cepted him. GERTRUDE HARMS and her husband now own three fourths of I- daho and are raising potatoes. Not far from them I found RONALD KRA- USE and his German Valley Store . His store has gotten so large that he hired MARLYS STECKER as a clerk at S40 a day, and she was promised a raise. ft 3 f J cj V 9 fi r iw - 4 L .. if! ' ELAINE SONNENBERG because of her excellent speed at typing fo- und herself a top typist in the State House. She also serves as private secre- tary to Senator GLEN WELP. ROBERT EDEN now owns a 650 acre farm and is very prosperous. He is raising pigeons on his farm. Teaching in the Titonka School SHARON SCHUTJER and ROSE BOEVER. Sharon has the eighth grade and Rose the first grade. The Supt. is none other than DAVID BOECKHOLT and his secretary is VIOLET BAADE. He enforced the rule of running to classes instead of walking be- cause he was so fond of running in his school days. My dream came to an end when my grandchildren came bounding into the room. I hope that all the classmates will have as dreamy a future as I had, as ever JANE AMESBURY.

CLEMENTINE A A COMEDY IN THREE ACTS CHARACTERS: Clementine Kelley, a tomboy, Evelyn Willemsseng Mary Kelley, her mother, Jane Amesbury, Gerald Kelley, her father, Don- ald Rippentropg Bertha, the housekeeper, Doris Kuchenreutherg Abe Carter, the handyman, Kent Hoover, Hank' Matthews, Gresham Roskampg Pete, Donald Gerdisg Tubby, Gary Zwiefelg Cathy, Marilyn Calliesg Jane Ann, Bet- ty Millerg Ann McNeil, Marilyn Peterson, and Miss Prunella Pringle, Col- leen Rippentrop. CLEMTINE: Cathy is the admiration of the whole neighborhood.-But Clementine was apt to come bounding in bringing a football team with her. Cathy is planning a Girl-date party. Clementine has to ask a boy and she asks Hank, explaining that her mother wanted her to ask him. Hank didn't like this ungracious invitation so when Cathy invites him to go with her, he accepts. Clem enters the oratorical contest against Hank and wins the con- test. Clem also incenses Miss Pringle, who is a big influence in town elections and Clem's father is running for mayor. It looks as if her carelessness is pro- bably going to cost her Dad the election. Again Clem acts, and she confesses to Miss Pringle and admits where she was wrong and sells the fiery old girl on her Dad's program, and really makes it work. In doing this she also wins Hank back. 5019-vlllw mtg Wk' 4 ,wggvtbgsfs gy, fg5a ,: 'sf 'Z:qag,::,g33,, :v ':.-:. 'W' V --' . ' gg -. . g, 'I Sq 1 , kt . ' uw . I I, 'ii A Z?13fg5 '5t?wf '23i QS.

Preparation by the senior girls got under way at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The girls planned and cooked the meal and the boys furnished the pheasants and chickens. The girls proved to be pretty good cooks. Ex- cept for a few slight incidents the cooking went along smoothly. The girls were also elected by unanimous vote of the boys to be on the clean up com- mittee. The girls cleaned up the kitchen while the boys provided the music. Maestro Gresham Roskamp did the honors at the piano. The high school faculty were our guests and we hope they enjoyed it as much as we did. MOVIE PARTY The student council entertained the high school on Dec. 5th by having a movie party. This was something new and proved to be a lot of fun. The evening started at 7:30 p.m. with popcorn and a movie. The movie was en- titled Bowery Boys in Flying High . There was also a cartoon and a musi- cal short. After the movie lunch was served in the hot lunch room. Everyone had an enjoyable time. . CHRISTMAS PROGRAM The Christmas Program this year consisted of a program by the entire school. The operetta was given by Kindergarten through the Fourth Grades and was directed by Mr. Multauf. Additional music was provided by the Junior High and High School. The program was presented Monday Dec. 21, at 8 o'clock. The program was as follows: BAND - Christmas Moods and 'Christmas Tide , GIRLS SEXTETTE - Come to the Stable and Let It Snow SAXAPHONE QUARTETTE - Jolly Old St. Nick and Upon the House Top , GIRLS GLEE CLUB - 'Jesu Bambino , Soloist, Miss Stenzel, and Deck the Hall , FIRST GRADE - Rhythmn Band, CLARI- NET QUARTETTE - Silent Night and Oh Come All Ye Faithful , OPERETTA - Meet Mr. Snowman , JUNIOR HIGH TRIPLE TRIO, ' May There Be Peace and Me and My Teddy Bear , MIXED CHORUS - Silent Night and I Wish You a Merry Christmas . How about a date, Dean? sg QA The Titonka seniors met at the school house at 4:30 A.M. on Friday morning, April 2,for a trip to Minneapolis, Minn. Everyone managed to get there on time, although sleepy and blurry eyed from the parties which were held the night before. During the long t1'ip many amused themselves by singing, playing cards, and sleeping. When it got light enough to see some studied their play parts. We stopped at 8:00 A.M. at St. Peter, Minn. for breakfast. We continued on our journey and arrived at the Ford Plant at 9:45. We then were taken on a tour through the Ford assembly line. This tour was very interesting and consisted of everything from the making of glass to the finished car. We then received notice that the tour we had at General Mills was postponed because of a strike. So we went downtown and checked into the Hotel Andrews at noon. From here everyone departed, each going their own way. The category of the afternoon's and evening entertainment ranged from shopping and the movies to the Foshay Tower. After room check at night those who wished went to the midnight show. Some were too tired and weary to compete with the night, so they turned in. Those who tried to sleep were interrupted by the many telephone calls from fellow seniors. Saturday morning the girls continued to shop until their money was ex- hausted, but the boys continued to go sightseeing. In the afternoon we went to the Ice Follies. At 5 o'c1ock in the afternoon we started for our journey home. We stop- ped at Mankato, Minn. for lunch and then finished the trip to Titonka. Where are the boys?

The author is coming to town tomorrow and Penny just knows she'll be chosen. What Penny doesn't know is that Sally, the maid, is a former child movie star, now grown up, whom a publicity a- gent has planted there to be discovered . Penny intends to take her f1'iend Joanna with her to Hollywood. Penny and Joanna give up playing in the tennis tournament with their boy friends, Greg and Kerry. Greg and Kerry confer with Gram and decide to outwit Penny and Joanna by posing as the great author and a brunette model. The girls fall for it. A riotous scene fol- lows in which Henri, the clothes designer, shows off his latest creations on attractive models for Penny to consider for her trip to Hollywood. Then Dad shows up with the real author. Plans for the discovery of Sally go awry, for Sally has fallen in love with Mark. By this time Penny and Joanna have changed their minds again and paired off for the tennis tournament with Greg and Kerry. So all ends well.

JUNIOR-SENIOR - BANQUET - PRUM The banquet was held in the school cafeteria and the Junior Mothers prepared and served the banquet. The theme of the banquet was Hawaiian. The room was colorfully decorated with blue, white and silver crepe paper and pink carnations. There was a large Hawaiian scene on one side of the room and many palm trees were placed through out the room. For favors Hawaiian leis were given to everyone. One hundred and five people were at the banquet and an interesting program was presented and Robert Kinseth was Hawaiian Leader of the Day. After the banquet a dance was held at the Roller Rink and we danced to the music of Gards Little Named Band . The public was invited to the dance and a good time was had by all. Mr. Mehlan our sponsor was in charge of the arrangements of the banquet and dance.

It was Freshman initiation. There were a lot of fun- ny sights, but it was a lot of fun for both the freshmen who had to dress up and the sophomores who had to plan the initiation. The freshmen dressed at noon in their funny costumes and remained that way until four o'clock. At three o'clock all went to the gym and the freshmen presented us with a pro- gram. After the program the excitement was all over until that evening. In the evening the sophomores gave a party for the whole high school. There was a short program, dancing and a lunch. It was sure a lot of fun for every- one and the freshmen were very good sports.

JUNIOR HIGH BOYS BASKETBALL: The boys team managed to mark up a victory when they defeated Burt for their only win of the season against five defeats. Our boys lacked height. Coach played everyone so next years team is showing promise because many of the boys have received some of that valuable experience which is needed in basket- ball. The boys never gave up and they were in there trying all the time. W -f. W ,. aw 1 :.t .Q I i U s rg f s 2 ? Egffffgi ' 1... ,.,. 21 - K . egg . , - . X 35 , 9? f ,ESM . 1.

The first touchdown came when Roskamp hit Hoover on a 25 yard pass play. Roskamp and Gerdis accounted for the other 35 points on long scoring runs. Martin Norland was the only local injury. He sprained his ankle in the lst half. TITONKA 69 THOMPSON 0 The Tyke Indians made a successful trip to Thompson on Sept. 18th. They defeated the Thompson team 69 to 0. Tyke linemen displayed real power holding Thompson to a total of 22 yds gained on both passing and rushing. All the local substitutes got a chance to play. The Indians had an excellent following of local fans. is TITONKA 20 RUTHVEN 0 The Indians traveled to Ruthven Sept. 25th capturing their third stra- ight victory. The Indians got off to a fast start when Gerdis carried the o- pening kick off 82yds to score. Ruthven drove to the Tyke one foot line, but Tyke held them from scoring. Again Tyke fans followed the team. TITONKA 19 SWEA CITY 20 Tyke suffered its first defeat at the hands of Swea City by a score of 20 to 19. Tyke led at the half time margin by a score of 12 to 0. Swea City stormed back to a 13 to 12 lead at the end of the third quarter. Each team made a touchdown and an extra point the last quarter. Costly errors proved the way for a Swea City victory. We lost the ball twice on fumbles and twice on pass interceptions. Tyke added eight new lights to their football field. The largest crowd ever to attend a football game was present at this game. This was our homecoming game. TITONKA 7 WEST BEND 6 The Indians traveled to West Bend Oct. 9th and got back in the win- ning column by defeating West Bend 7 to 6. In the first half Tyke was held scoreless for the first time this year. On the opening kick off in the second half West Bend ran the kick off back to our one foot line and then they went over for the touchdown on the next play. We scored our touchdown in the fourth quarter when Roskamp scored on an end run. Roskamp also scored the extra point on an end run and this was the victory margin. TITONKA 12 GRAETTINGER 6 The Indians surprised Graettinger by defeating them 12 to 6. Graet- tinger was leading the conference at the time.The Indians built A 12 to 0 lead at half time and then defended their lead the second half. The Indians had possession of the ball the last six minutes of play and had driven 80 yds down field and were on Graettingers 13 yd linewhen the game ended.Don- ald Rippentrop did a very good job of kickingoff. TITONKA 20 TERRIL 10 The Indians finished their season with a victory over Terril. It was a well played game and Tyke was leading at the halftime 14 to 7. Credit must be given to all the boys for it took cooperation from the line men and back field men to have such a successful season. Tyke ended up in second place in their conference standing. Donald Gerdis was injured in the Swea City game and didn't play any more ball the rest of the season. Lynn Struthers was the only other serious injury. He broke his ankle during practice toward the end of the season. . xx . - .:, 5 N . N I xxx :YW . X3 .Q , i Vi' J?

The festivities got underway on Thursday evening with a bon- fire, snake dance and pep rally.The high school students assembled at the football field at 7:15 on Thursday evening. The bonfire was started and the group was led in cheers by the four cheerleaders. This continued until the bonfire had died out. Then the students all joined hands and started the snake dance. The dance made its way down main street weaving in and out a- round trees, houses and cars. School songs were sung as we went down main street. The snake dance came back to school and disbanded. On Friday af- ternoon there was a parade downtown. This parade consistedof the Queens float, the band, and the student body. On the Queens float the four candi- dates for queen were seated. These girls each chose an escort from the sen- ior football boys. The candidates and escorts were as follows: Evelyn Willem- seen - Gresham Roskamp, Betty Miller - Donald Rippentrop, Marilyn Pet- erson - David Boeckholt and Thelma Ullmann - Gary Zwiefel. The evening program started off with the Star Spangled Banner play- ed by our band and then the crowning of the queen. The Queen was Thelma Ullmann. Her escort Gary Zwiefel was given the honor of placing the crown on her head. After the crowning of the queen the queen and her attendents took their place at the sidelines where they stayed all during the football game. It was a warm pleasant evening so the girls were comfortable in their formals. The football game was exciting but the Titonka Indians were de- feated by a mere one point margin. The score being Swea City 20 Titonka 19. After the game the student body and guests met in the gymnasium for a square dance. After the dance lunch was served in the school cafeteria.

Bancroft lead through out the whole game. BURT GAME: This game was a thriller until the game ended. Neither team had more than a four point lead at any time. A basket in the last 10 seconds defeated the Indians. LEDYARD GAME: This game was close until the last quarter when the Ledyard boys hit several quick baskets and went on to win. THOMPSON GAME: Thompson handed the Indians their fourth straight loss by a 73 to 39 score. The Indians had plenty of shots but the ball just wouldn't go in the basket. LAKOTA GAME: The Indians won their first game of the season when they traveled to Lakota and defeated the home team. Tyke led all the way and the substitutes played the last quarter. Hoover was high scorer for the evening with 17 points. ARMSTRONG GAME: The Indians traveled to Arm- strong only to go down in defeat in a hard fought game by the score of 56 to 48. Again the game was very close until the last four minutes and then Armstrong hit a few quick baskets to put the game on ice. BURT GAME: This was the second win in the confer- ence for the Indians and they had an easy time defeating Burt. Tyke lost to Burt by one point in the early part of the season. LEDYARD GAME: The Indians strolled to an easy vic- tory over Ledyard. This team also defeated Tyke in the early part of the season. Roskamp was high scorer for the evening with 21 points. SWEA CITY GAME: Swea City was just too strong for the Indians on this particular evening. The Tyke boys just weren't in the game at any time. It seemed like everything they did was wrong. It was Christmas vacation time and the boys were ready for a rest. BANCROFT GAME: This was the second loss of the season to Bancroft. The game was close the first half but the second half the Bancroft boys went on to an easy victory. This game was played during the Christmas holidays. THOMPSON GAME: The Indians defeated the confer- ence-leading Thompson club to gain revenge for an earlier defeat. The score was tied several times during the game. It was tied with three seconds left when Frank Folkerts hit the winning basket. Hoover and Roskamp were high point men for the winners with 20 points apiece. LEADING SCORERS: The three leading scorers for the season were: Gresham Roskamp - 265 points, Kent Ho- over - 236 points and Frank Folkerts 116 points. LAKOTA GAME: The Indians didn't have any trouble defeating Lakota for the second time this season. The substitutes again played most of the last half. Roskamp and Hoover had 20 and 19 points respectively. ARMSTRONG GAME: The Indians upset the conference lead- ers in an overtime battle to take undisputed possession of third place in the conference. This loss to Armstrong threw them into a tie for first place with Thompson. Tyke was behind 14 to 3 at the beginning of the game but the score was tied before the first quarter ended. From this point on it was a nip and tuck battle all the way. Loats dropped in two free throws in the over time to give the Indians their margin of victory. COUNTY TOURNAMENT GAME: The Indians played Wes- ley in the first round of the tournament which was held at Whitte- more. Wesley defeated the boys in an overtime. After their brillant victories over Thompson and Armstrong previous to the tournament, this was considered an upset for the Indians to be stopped in tourna- ment play. WODEN GAME: Woden defeated the Indians in a well played game by both teams. Woden lead at half time 31 to 24. This game was played on Tykes floor and the largest crowd ever to witness a regular scheduled game was present. SECTIONAL TOURNAMENT: The Indians drew a bye in this tournament the first round, thus ending up in the finals against Al- gona. Algona defeated Tyke by a score of 58 to 45. Again this was a close game until the last quarter. Algona held a three point lead at half time and the teams played even ball the third quarter as Algona again only led by three points at the end of the third quarter. How- ever in the fourth quarter Algona had things all their own way and won the game to go on to the district tournament. This was the last game of the season for the Tyke boys.
