At our first stop the captain was Miss Charvat. There were five little waves and six little sailors. The faithful seamen that have gone through all twelve years are Catherine Hanlon, Catherine Jones, Darlene Merical, Hattie Wright, Betty York, Merle Boll, Dick Felt, Royce Gilham, Donnie Lux, Durwin McKinney, and Francis Woodward. They floated through the first year and sailed on to the second. We changed our captains at the second stop when Mrs. Haughtelin came to help steer us. We also drafted four new waves who were Jeannette Baumeister, Frances Clark, Yolanda Ori, and Mafalda Ori. It was time to pull out of port and move on to the third stop where Miss Hood was at the wheel. Jack Williams came on duty to scrub the decks this year. We waved good-by to the third port and headed for the fourth. When we arrived at our fourth port we threw out our anchor and were greeted by our captain, Miss Hertz. At this port we picked up a singer, Kathryn Jamison. We raised our anchor and moved out of port. At our fifth stop Miss Carroll took the wheel and we drafted a nice looking sailor, Dannie Gardiner. With Miss Barnes as the admiral we drifted through our sixth year without making any new acquaintances. Miss Cline steered us through our seventh and eighth years in which Maryellen Faber came on board to be our main cook. Soon afterwards she gained two helpers—Wanda Leach and Richard Kramer. In our ninth year the sea started to get rough for the seamen, but we steered on, as this seemed to be our most exciting year. During our tenth stop we got off our course for awhile and found ourselves on a lost deserted island. On this island we found two natives—Kandy Klingaman and Gene Anderson— who climbed aboard, helped pull up the anchor, and continued through the rest of the journey. Then, in our twelfth year the commander-in-chief, Mr. Lauger, and his associates ended our long journey, and we took leave to steer ourselves through the rest of our lives.

(Continued on Page 36) After having lived in Denver, Colorado, for the past twenty years, I decided to take a flying trip back to that big town where I grew up and went to school—Waukee, Iowa. As I packed my suitcase, I kept thinking How interesting this is going to be to see all my schoolmates again. When I boarded my plane, I noticed there was a very attractive stewardess to greet me as I entered the plane. This stewardess was none other than Kandy Klingaman. She had been a stewardess for the past ten years, but she thought she would have to give up her career, for Richard Kramer, who is now a veterinarian, had been waiting for quite some time to marry her. The plane landed in Grand Island, Nebraska, where I was to change to another one. I had a few minutes' time, so I walked over to Walgreen's Drug Store. In great surprise, I found the head pharmacist to be Jeannette Baumeister. She had been a dietician for five years previously. Soon I got back on my plane and was off on my journey once again. Looking on the chart, I read Pilot—Royce Gilham. This was a surprise! The pilot of my plane was one of my classmates. After the plane landed at the municipal airport in Des Moines, Iowa, I jumped into a taxi and to my surprise I found that this was a new type of singing taxi service. The driver was singing My Darling Clementine. I thought I recognized that voice and sure enough, it was Francis Woodward. He let me out at the famous Babe's restaurant. I looked up at the bright, flashing neon lights and there the letters spelled out the name of one of my old classmates, Yolanda Ori, who is now the proprietor. I paid Francis the fare, and he rushed off saying he had to meet his wife, Wanda Leach, at Younkers Tea Room, where they were planning on celebrating their tenth wedding anniversary. After wishing him a happy anniversary I rushed on into Babe's before the regular evening rush. After a delicious meal, Yolanda and I had a visit. She informed me that her sister, Mafalda, was married and living in Los Angeles. She and her husband are the proud parents of eight children. She also told me that Frances Clark was living on Waterbury Circle in Des Moines. The next day I took a streetcar out to see Frances, who was surprised to see me. I could see she was very happy with her lovely family and such a beautiful home. I decided that I needed a car before I went to Waukee, so I went to Anderson's Ford Garage. Eugene sold me a beautiful red convertible. I drove to Waukee, and the motor started to miss, so I stopped at the McKinney Garage at Waukee. Durwin, by this time being an excellent mechanic, had it fixed in a short time; then he invited me into his home. This, I'm sure, was my greatest surprise to find his wife was Catherine Hanlan. They had been married for the past twelve years and had four lively boys. Catherine suggested that we visit the Waukee Consolidated School. First, we visited the home economics department where we found that Kathryn Jamison had been teaching home economics for the past fifteen years, and that Hattie Wright was teaching English and speech. Old times were renewed during our conversation. (Continued on Page 32) ¥ TOP ROW: Pat Deskin, Tom Leach, Irene York, Francis Jamison, Janet Harrison.

The council functions as a service group and helps the administration in carrying out extracurricular activities. This group serves as a nucleus for committees which plan and carry into execution the sale of season tickets, school parties, dances, and social activities throughout the year. It is from this group that individual leaders generally develop to assist the administration in the everyday routine of school life.

The Waukee F. F. A. Chapter had thirty-seven members this year. Our goal for the past year was to be of more service to others and to develop a more permanent agriculture in our community. Our activities included testing soil, recommending soil conservation practices, testing milk, and recommending dairy improvement practices. Other services included seed grain testing and spraying business. Nearly every member served on a committee during the year. These committees planned such activities as juding contests at various fairs and shows, educational field trips, basketball games, and our summer trips. Our goal was to have a well balanced program including education, recreation, and leadership training. HOME ECONOMICS RACK ROW: Luanna Williams, Mary Ann Manders.

MUSIC The music department made its first public appearance at the Junior Play, with the band performing before the play and the girls’ sextet, the clarinet quartet, and Bob Clarkson singing between acts. The boys' quartet, girls' sextet, and mixed quartet have sung for several different school activities and community groups throughout the year, such as Women's Club, Farm Bureau, the F. F. A. Banquet, and the Faculty-School Board dinner. The basketball games have furnished the band plenty of opportunity for practice, as they played at all home basketball games and pep meetings. The band entered the pre-state contest this year for the first time in several years. This was a profitable experience for them as well as a lot of fun. The Band Mothers' Club is raising funds to purchase new uniforms by sponsoring many activities, including square dances, serving lunches at night school, and selling refreshments at basketball games. Band members are looking forward with great enthusiasm to wearing these uniforms in the near future. The Band Mothers' Club is headed by Mrs. Holsman, President, and Mrs. Burger, Secretary. The high school glee clubs presented a two-act operetta— The Sunbonnet Girl —on February 13-14. The cast of characters was as follows: Miranda Meadows —Colleen Dittmer: Mrs. Meadows—Ellen Aldrich; Luella Lumpton—Joyce Hibbs; Hiram Meadows—Jack Martin; Evalina Scroggs—Mary Grace Fiori; Ruben McSpavin— Keith Boone; Ezra McSpavin—Gerald Young; Mrs. Coleman—Catherine Hanlon; Bob Coleman—Bob Clarkson; Jerry Jackson—Francis Jamison; Barbara Coleman—Darlene Merical; Susan Clifton—Francesann Evans; John Scroggs—Charles Duling; Mrs. Scroggs—Kathryn Jamison; Sadie Simpkins—Jane Grove; and Sally Jones—Donna Potter. The remainder of the boys' and girls' glee clubs formed the operetta chorus. The first music contest was held on April 1 at Panora. Those entered were Francesann Evans, Donna Potter, Virginia Jamison, Francis Jamison, Bob Clarkson, Darlene Merical, Gerald Young, Kathryn Jamison and Mary Grace Fiori as soloists; and the boys' quartet, girls' sextet, girls' trio, mixed quartet, and clarinet quartet in the ensemble groups. On April 15 both boys’ and girls' glee clubs and the band entered the contest for large groups at Guthrie Center. Each grade attends music classes everyday, and the junior high boys and girls alternate with physical education. The primary and first four grades had unison singing, rhythm study in the form of rhythm band, marching, singing games, and clapping and swaying in time to the music. The fifth and sixth grades and junior high learned to sing in two and three parts and to recognize notes by names, key signatures, time signatures, and how to count simple time. A great deal of our band membership was from the grade school and junior high this year. There were six beginners on band instruments from the fifth and sixth grades. In our regular band there were eighteen members from the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth grades. Although these members are young and inexperienced, they were some of the best members.

When we arrived Darlene greeted us with her usual graciousness. Darlene was of the opinion that her oldest child, a sixteen-year old daughter, must be taking after her mother because she just couldn't keep her home at night. That night I decided to go to a movie called, The Gal Who Took the West, starring Betty York as the leading lady. Betty had been in Hollywood for almost ten years and deserved all the complimentary things the critics said about her. Coming out of the theater I met Jack Williams and his third wife, to go out to see the big ranch north of Waukee before I went back home. Jack asked me The next day I drove out to the ranch. Over the entrance was a sign that read, Lux and Sons' Dude Ranch. Donnie, the owner, brought me in to see his wife, who was Catherine Jones. She was busy knitting booties for their baby girl. We visited together and then Donnie asked me to go out to the cemetery with him to help Dannie Gardiner dig another grave, for there were to be two funerals that afternoon and he needed a little help. Dannie just did this in his spare time, for he owned four farms in the east which he had to oversee. After returning with Donnie, I bade Catherine good-by and returned to Waukee. Suddenly I noticed that there was an attractive new building situated on the west side of the street, which was a new bank and drug store. I went in the bank and there I found that Merle Boll was the cashier. He said that he wasn’t married, that the girl he intended to marry disappointed him, so he would just be a bachelor. Just then Senator Dick Felt walked in to make a deposit. He was in town for only a short visit while looking over his farms before returning to Washington. D. C. My vacation surely did go fast, and I had a grand time. It surely did seem good to be back in Waukee, even if it was for only three weeks. The pleasant times I had were a Lift for me before I started back to Denver to resume my job as physicist.

Perhaps that little boy or girl was one of us. Soon we learned to say our A, B, C's and learned to read and write. We were told that one and one is two. But that was several years ago. We have learned a lot since then, not just from our testbooks, but by working together, taking responsibilities, and cooperating. Although we will no longer walk up those steps together that lead to our school-house, we will not forget those old school memories, our teachers, and our parents who have helped to make it possible for us to secure an education in the past twelve years.

AROUND THE CLOCK —Some people are getting home, others thinking of getting up. Don’t know which one is the worse off. —The Hanlons arise. Catherine goes out to feed her little chicks. —Kathryn Jamison starts thinking about milking the jerseys. After that comes the milking machines. —Don Lux leaps out of bed to see what the day is like. Too bad, Don. —Mrs. Faber calls twice to Maryellen, then warns, No date tonight if you don’t get up right now! ” —Miss Bassett is having her best sleep now. In fact she just got to sleep. She's been worrying whether or not those seniors will get the Annual finished. --Is that Mr. Lauger under that beard? Worked until one o’clock on something to do with insurance. —Most healthy students arise now. Yolanda pulls Mafalda out of bed, when it was Yolanda who had to work last night. Hmmm. —Breakfast is ready. Ah, how I love those Rice Krisples. They SNAP, POP AND CRACKLE, you know. Says so right here. —Floyd Faber starts his usual breakfast of eggs, bacon, toast, cocoa, cereal, donuts, and a banana or two. --Girls start primping before bus arrives. —Boys also start combing their hair. Of course, for boys like Merle that's nothing at all. Don't even need a comb, do you Merle? —Buses take off with a flying leap. You lucky kids. — Floyd Faber finishes breakfast. —Besides the ones that are still getting up, others are about ready to start their day at school. —Here they come, teachers. Don’t grit your teeth like that. It will all be over in about eight hours. —Jack found Connie, Dannie found Joanne, and after looking all over the school-house, Merle found Janet. Now they don't know what to do with themselves. Ah, love is so terrific. —Roll is checked, announcements made. Mr. Lauger has special requests to make, something to be done, or something that hasn't been done, or something you had better do. —Jack walks Connie to class. Off go the seniors to government class to find out how much they can get out of their social security. —Gosh, I wish I had a drink. Think I'll open the window. Who's that out in the hall? Sure wish I had read my lesson. Oh boy, the bell. Now I can get a drink. —Hang on, Miss Bassett, here we come. Just can't raise my average. Must be this typewriter. —Study hall teacher reminds students to sit down, get out a book, and don't move. Wonder who that is? —We overhear two girls in literature class comparing vocabulary words. They don’t compare. Something must be wrong with Webster. —Advanced typing students rush to typing room, boys rush to basketball, others just rush. —Everyone is about starved, so they keep walking in and out of the typing room for those delicious odors from the kitchen. —Dinner time. Band students come from one side, and high school students from the other side. Those poor cooks. Oh well, happens everyday. —Fast eaters meet at coke machine to talk. —Advanced seniors again rush to typing room while Miss Bassett finishes her much needed coffee. —Uptowners begin to return finishing their ice cream; others start a fresh stick of gum to last until some teacher spots them. —Here we go again. —Merle walks Janet to class. The homemaking and ag students hurry down the stairs. Most are lucky if they get there on time. Miss Crist asks Connie, Late again?” while Mr. Baer says to Jack, Late, aren't you?” Wonder if there's a connection? —Time for water; fountains are busy for 10 minutes until gossiping is over. --Dannie Gardiner asks Mrs. Wehrle if he can get Joanne to help him with an advanced algebra problem.. —Teachers herd students into classes. Not very often of course—just five days a week. (Continued on Page 42) Compliments FARMERS MUTUAL Fire Lightning Insurance Assoc. Dallas Center, Iowa Alonzo Copeland, Pres. H. S. Fox, Sec. Treas.

It's girls' night for basketball practice. —Students arrive home, read funnies, and grab a snack before supper. —Sorry boys. It’s time to milk. You will have to leave Sky King for awhile. Maybe your little sis will tell you what happened. —Yolanda calls Maryellen and Jeannette. Mary calls Mafalda, and she calls Betty, to see how many are going skating. Poor operator! --Mr. Meyer finally is all ready for that big, hot meal, only to find that he has to make a fast trip to West Des Moines. —All the senior boys rush to their radios to hear the Lone Ranger. —Don Sheehy arrives at the Merical home, and finds that he has to wait half an hour on Darlene to get ready. —A green dodge streaks toward Adel.

Wow! ! —Must be about time for Frank to come. JoAnn has come in from shooting baskets. —It won't be too much longer until Emil and Judy finish cleaning up the schoolhouse. Maybe another hour. Darn kids never pick up anything. --Old folks put the clock out and wind the cat, so sleepy they can hardly see. —Most basketball players arrive home. Of course, most of them were never out. —Show's over. Girls come out dreamy from seeing a movie with Van Johnson, then wonder how they can produce freckles. —Parents are keeping one ear open listening for the door to open. Sorry, it may be hours before the little dears return. —Babysitters start thinking about their dollar overtime. —If you boys want the car again, you had better get home, but fast. See Gerald, it's almost twelve o'clock now. —Almost time for a new day, too. All right freshmen, good thing you got in. —Connie, is that you tiptoeing in? He won't get home until morning, will he? —Okay, Donnie, remember six o'clock comes pretty early in the morning. —Catherine Jones turns over in bed and hits Wanda in the face. Now she doesn't have any covers. —At last. Thought they would never get home. Now for part of a night's sleep anyway. —Wonder if the government test will be hard. Miss Bassett hasn't had time to make up a very big test. Wish I knew my literature. What's that formula? —Here we go again. Hanlons aren't the first ones up, though. It's Mr. Lauger; he hasn't gone to bed.
