' 1 WJ ii SENIOR TRIP The Seniors of '55 left April 15, at 4:30 in the morning on their Skip Day activities. The destination was Minneapolis, Minnesota. We stopped at Mankato, Minnesota, for breakfast. Some of the group went window shopping while the others engaged themselves in their various pastime projects. Our first point of interest in Minneapolis was Minnehaha Falls. There was not a great deal of water going over the falls at the time we were there. The first scheduled stop in Minneapolis was at the Ford Plant. We were first shownwhere the glass is sorted and cut. We saw tons of parts and many other machines doing various other jobs. The most interesting and outstand- ing feature in the Ford Plant proved to be the assembly line where you start with the frame of a car and you travel slowly along with the car as each and every part is placed on the frame. The very last process deals with the driv- ing test of the cars. We were conducted through the World-Chamberlain Air Field. Our guide took us through hangers, the Message department, and we learned where reservations are made on flights. We were told how the luggage was weighed and flown to the destinations. Our next experience was to check into the Andrews Hotel and rested for awhile. Then we went to the Artificial Limbs Co. This tour proved most in- teresting. We saw just how a person becomes self supporting even though he may have handicaps. We met one young man who had both legs taken off and yet he dances on Television. It was very inspiring to us. The rest of the afternoon and evening were our own. Many of us went shopping or to the Foshay Tower, or to the movies. Some went to the Sportsmans Show which proved exciting. Saturday morning was also devoted to shopping and sight-seeing. I believe some went to Dayton's and other stores to ride the escalators. Saturday afternoon at 2:30 We went by bus to the Minneapolis Arena to see the great finals of our trip. The 1955 Ice Follies. We were well im- pressed with the great ability, lighting and costuming that goes to make up the ice follies. We stopped for supper in St. Peter. We wish to express our deepest thanks to our sponsor, Mr. Thiesse, and Mr. and Mrs. Lang for such a nice and enjoyable trip. fm EW FEUDIN OVER YOUNDER .

High School Band Congratulatory l ,QP-Q is-K l PHEASANT SUPPER The senior class held a pheasant feast in the school cafeteria in Novem- ber. Seniors had quite a time--it isn't as yet decided which did the harder work--the boys or the girls. Of course each stands up for his own side. Any- way the girls planned and cooked the meat which was furnished by the boys. Not only that but we fixed the rest of the meal. The whole class helped with the clean-up so I guess we girls can't complain too much. The high school faculty and their wives were our guests and we hope that they had just as much fun as we did. 6? 4 PLANNING COOKING THE MEAL Au---an-nl .4112 2.4 EATING EATING sv' CLEAN UP 1' --ri 'aids IQ. ll 'Q- W ,PK 1 F Folkerts 2 G Ham1s3 D Bentele4 A Schutter5 L I-Ianson6 L1 Pearson 7 9Sen1or G1rls10 M Trunnelle 11 K Bartelt 12 L Arndorfer 13 D Bentele 14 B Carlson 15 A bchutter16 B Carlson Angry Father What do you mean by brmgmg my daughter home at 3 o clock ln the morrungq Mlld Sultor Well slr I have to be to work at 7 Bob I rn thmlung of askmg some girl Myma Am I really the only glrl you ve ever k18S9d9 do you thxnk of the 1dea Paul C Certamly and by far the prettlest Carol It s a great ldea Lf you ask me Mmm ...J to marry me What 3 , 4 as z I , Q, , 1 3' 7 ' Q ' , I - . ., , A Q H.

Bruce Clyde, newspaper editor, is about to be fired by Julia Boyd, the owner, unless he digs up something sensational to boost the circulation. Bruce is in love with Brenda Day, an aspiring actress who wants to prove to Eugenia Sherwood, director of the Community Players, that she can act so she will get the leading role in the big Festival Play. Then along comes Professor Cornelius Kent, wealthy explorer, with the news that his nephew, Allen Kent, is coming back from the Solomons with a real, live Can- nibal Queen for the Professor to study, civilize, and make lectures about. Bruce pounces on the startling news. A beautiful Cannibal Queen coming to the U.S.! This certainly should sell papers. But he is horrified when he meets Allen, on his return from the Solomons, and finds that Allen accepted money from the Professor but came back without the Queen! There was a queen all right, but she was fat and forty, with six husbands .... not at all like Al- len had described her to the Professor. So Bruce, anxious to hold his job, induces Brenda, anxious to prove she can act, to become the queen. Not only that, but he pays Daisy Mae, the colored chambermaid, and Lucious, the colored elevator boy, to act as the queen's bodyguard and handmaiden! They let the landlady in on the secret, and everything works out all right until Ju-Ju, the real Cannibal Queen, shows up. She has followed Allen from the Solomons to ask him to go back with her as her seventh husband and be king! Brenda makes a realistic can- nibal, especially when she wants to eat Mildred Wade, Allen's sweetheart, and takes a liking to Robert and wants to cook and eat him for dinner also!

The banquet was served at 7:00. The theme chosen was Evening in Paris. There were close to one hundred present at the banquet. The menu consisted of mashed potatoes, gravy, swiss steak, corn, and angel food cake with ice cream and strawberry topping. There were plenty of relish and biscuit plates on each table. We were served by the sophomore waiters and waitresses. They were Jacqueline Gerdis, Janice Harms, Judy Stecker, Marie Welp, Sharon Carroll, Wanda Parcel, Linda Nelson, Diane Roskamp, Dennis Krominga, Kent Rippentrop, Larry Gray, Bobby Fritz, Craig Sathoff, Dennis Wubben, Wayne Bartelt, and Harold DeWall. We then had our program. Toastmistress was Geraldine Ullmann. The Welcome was given by Darryl Sparks, and was responded by Robert Kin- seth. Music was presented by the Boys' Quartet and The Mixed Quartet. They were accompanied by Mr. Multhauf. The Mixed Quartet sang, I love Paris in the Springtime. The Boys' Quartet sang, The last time I saw Paris. Memories , were given by Richard Doughan. A farewell speech was given by Mr. Rood. A dance was then given and we danced to the music of Bobby Grieggs' Orchestra. The high school was invited to this dance. There were about one hundred people dancing. The evening of dancing was set off by an Eiffel Tower in the center of the dancing floor and a blue, starry ceiling. To touch it off just right there was a punch bowl enjoyed by everyone. Roses rambled over the tower, stone walls, and arches. The orchestra played from the stage, which had a background of rose streamers.Another feature of the stage was the french windows,with shadowsof dancing couples. At the entrance of the gym stood a hugh Arch of Triumph, which was made of rose streamers. Tables were arranged in night club fashion, under a clear blue sky. After dancing for almost four hours we concluded at 1:00. It was an evening of fun for everyone and a lasting memory for the class of 55 . . , Q I ',,,,.. .t..'.,,v, 'c.?n?j Q' V- --v'--'ff-.w . . .AHNDW 0,2 .. 0 3,4 ' 11 fy I 51 Cf. 5 fx ff , . ,rr L. 1- 1 '-lf gym naman ' v J a-atv N feff ' 'AL ar ' il f : x Students and teac hers passmg between classes ' f- 1 -43' 'qi 'Tx 1 AN, PWM '21 A Here s example of what happens just before the bell rmgs lim dw' xl Oh Boy' Thls makes another day closer to the end A X In L X Q 2 X 040 Ogl- cjoverlff f S E -9 'N Q 23?

To begin the afternoon we listened to a number of girls sing a song which was supposed to have been accompanied by Mr. Opheim. fHow- ever it wasn'tJ. These certain Junior girls and Myrna didn't do an assign- ment or something so their punishment was either to sing or get an F . Anyway we had some entertainment that day. Who was the boy that had the same opportunity but decided it was much easier to receive an F , Next we received our gifts that were distributed by the members of the Student Council. Then our wonderful faculty treated us. Oh, for the life of food. I almost forgot--the volley ball contest. Good work faculty. All the high school teachers played except one. Hows come?
