Waukee High School - Warrior Yearbook (Waukee, IA)

Text from Pages 1 - 174 of the 1951 volume:

In heartfelt appreciation we, The Seniors of 1951, gratefully dedicate our annual, The Tomahawk: To our community, for their patronage at our activities and for their thoughtfulness and kindness to us as we were growing up. To our faculty, we say, Thanks a million for the many lessons we have learned from you, although at the time, we may not have said so or seemingly didn't appreciate your efforts. To our parents, we now realize that many times during our school years we seemed almost impossible at times, but folks it's only a part of growing up that we must all go through. We do appreciate your efforts and we will try to prove ourselves worthy of your labors. To our schoolboard, we have come to realize that your job is usually a thankless one and so we wish to take this opportunity to express our appreciation for your hours of toil which have helped make our school life more enjoyable and worthwhile. To our advertisers, without whose ads and donations this annual would never have been possible.

Trying to add medical advice and console Mrs. Standing in every way possible is her doctor, Dr. Brandt. Carl escapes from prison before his term is over and due to the delivery boy's carelessness, Mrs. Standing learns of her son's mistake.

It climaxed a very hectic day for the Freshmen, for all day they had been attired in garb prescribed by the Seniors and were required to bow before the Seniors, shine their shoes, scrub the halls and perform other menial tasks. A program was held at the beginning of the dance with the Freshmen running through an obstacle course. A dollar bill contest was held among Mary Corbett, Gale Martin, and Billy Owen. The idea was to put a dollar bill in a glass, then blindfold the contestant and give him three chances to blow the dollar out of the glass. The third time the dollar was changed for flour. By the way, Gale, how did the flour taste? The second contest was an apple passing contest. Olga Ori, Larry Aldrich, and Leota Green passed an apple from one to the other by holding the apple under their chins. The third and last contest was an egg rolling contest. John Hall, Frances Nizzi, and Myrna Horn rolled eggs across the floor with their noses. If they broke them, they had to put their noses in them. Poor Myrna and Frances! One of the customs of initiation is either the boys or the girls cleaning up after the dance. This year a dressing race was held and the girls lost. Later in the evening, everyone danced. Some of the dances were: The Apple Dance, Broom Dance, and the One-Step. Refreshments were served by the Seniors. A good time was had by all as the late hour of leaving will tell! Mary Corbett will be a wonderful secretary, just the right size to sit on the boss's knee. Gale Martin will make a fine big league baseball pitcher; he practices by throwing erasers in the assembly. Bill Owens has already started on his career as a bubble gum tester. Rex Smith's practice in English class will make him a future Senator. He will hold the longest filibustering record in history--27 days, 10 hours, 13 minutes, and 58 seconds. Janice Linn will operate a lovelorn column; at the present she is storing up knowledge by reading True Confessions and Revealing Romances! Mac Olson will make the greatest discovery in modern history—THE THING!! ! I Frances Nizzi will be a professional basketball coach providing she can get somebody to sit with her two boys while she is coaching her six girls. Judy Wright will be Zee greatest, zee best French actress on zee midwestern stage. Jean Klingaman and Dolores Applegate will do sound effects on the radio; Dolores will yell and Jean will giggle. Floyd Faber will become a chimney sweep; he is just the right size. Barbara Van Deventer, after developing her left-hand hook shot under Mr. Meyer's direction, will play post guard for the A. I. B. professional team. Myrna Horn will eventually take Enstein's place. Dick Nesselroad will be a future carrot grower; he owes his education to Mr. Baer and Bugs Bunny. Marjoria Hinshaw will be something different (an African explorer maybe) if only to escape from Maxine and Barbara! Olga Ori will be an efficiency expert after making the most efficient record coming up the high school steps—five and two-thirds seconds. Patty Wilson will be stunning six-foot, three-inch model. She grew 10 inches after leaving Waukee High by listening faithfully to Uncle Stan and drinking AE milk and eating GRO-PUP! Leota Green, after resewing her blouse in Home Ec. 15 times, will become (because of her patience) a first rate Kindergarten teacher. Chuck Potter will be the President of the Register and Tribune, after working his way up from morning paper boy. John Hall will make a great fashion designer. That's what he does in the Home Ec. room. Donna David has already started on her career as abeauty operator. Her speciality --giving Toni's between classes. Larry Aldrich will make a first rate gangster. Take a look at his freshman pictures; all it needs is numbers and a wanted sign!! Dale Martin will accomplish great things. He does now in five minutes what others do in forty-five—but that's all he does. Maxine Spry will be a cartoonist and will replace A1 Capp of Lil Abner fame. She will use as her models the rest of the Characters in the Freshman class. 30 EIGHTH GRADE TOP ROW: Jim Weaver, Larry Kramer, Jerry Aldrich.

The V aukee Chapter FFA had 33 active members during the past year. President Leach, Richard Kramer and Eldon Stall have the honor of holding the Iowa Farmer Degree with Marvin Jamison and Jack Martin making application this year. This year is one that we will remember for a long time because we moved into the new vocational agriculture building. Some of the outstanding activities included a 13-day, 3700-mile trip during which we traveled in 9 western states. Sixteen boys, Coach Meyers, and Mr. Baer went on this trip. During this year the boys bought a new Ford tractor, plow, and cultivator which were used in an extensive community service program. During the coming year we hope to develop our cooperative activities and be of more service in our community. All boys served on committees and a large number participated in district and state conventions.

Absent: Dale Martin The Warriors enjoyed a good season in the fall of 1950. After losing the opener, 9-8, to St. Marys, they defeated Van Meter twice, and Granger Assumption and Minburn once. Then in the Sectional Tournament, the Waukee team advanced easily with victories over Granger, Van Meter, and Norwalk. In the District Tournament held at Massena, the Warriors stopped Elkhorn and Redding before losing to Stanton in the final game. 1-0. Coach Meyer says this was the best all-around game of the season. The young and inexperienced Waukee team played excellent ball all season. Gale Martin, freshman pitcher turned in several top notch games. He had good support behind him. Jack Martin played good baseball while leading the team offensively with a . 500 batting average. Gale and Dale Martin proved their versatility by leading the club with eight stolen bases a piece. They are looking ahead to another successful season. Only one player will be lost by graduation, and that is the reliable left-fielder, Gilbert Andreini.

J. Mortimer Maxwell, proprietor of Sho-Glo Electric Signs, arrives to capture the China market, accompanied by his wife, his daughter, June, and his salesman, Bert McKee, who aspired to win June's hand. Goaded by Bert, Maxwell agrees to the marriage provided Bert proves his business mettle by selling a sign to Sing Lo, who has given orders to have all salesmen thrown out. June suggests to Sing Lo's daughters the idea of increasing business by interesting fashionable patrons, and recommends a reception in honor of the new American Consul, Hon. Alexander Appletree. Bert is mistaken for the Consul, and is entertained with elaborate ceremony at the Tea House; while Appletree, arriving later, is thrown out by the porter. Bert insists on an electric sign, and Sing Lo, fearing he will lose the favor of the supposed Consul, reluctantly departs from the customs of his ancestors and signs the proffered contract. Bert wins his bride, the real Consul is placated because of Sing Lo's progressive business policy, and the prosperity of the Tea House is assured.

This was the end of Jimmy and the Python died the next day of indigestion. (He should have chewed his food.) Young, Gerald Kenneth: Born May 13, 1933. After graduation he went to college working his way by selling purple plastic shoestrings. It only took him 24 years. After making such a success of himself, he decided to continue his chosen career of salesmanship. While dancing the Charleston he bent over too far and got his head caught in his own shoestrings and choked on August 9, 1982. York, Margaret Irene: Born December 11, 1933. After completing her high school education she attended college. After college graduation she became a stewardess on the Interplanetary Airlines Incorporated, whose motto was Don't worry folks, we'll land (somewhere). This company was the pioneer in the flight to Pluto. Because of Irene's excellent record she was selected to be chief stewardess on the first flight to Pluto in the rocket ship, Dragging Rudder. During a meteroite blizzard the navigator lost his way and the Dragging Rudder rammed into Oogla-Boogula. Irene was so disappointed she flew to pieces. The body was never discovered the death date is uncertain. 62 FINIS F F A Officers LEFT TO RIGHT: Roe Snipes, Treas.; Jack Martin, Reporter; Marvin Jamison, Vice-Pres.; Guido Croci, Sec.; Tom Leach, Pres. ; Mr. Baer, Advisor; Francis Jamison, Temp.

Jed is overcome at the prospect of such glamour and Midge finds herself left in the lurch while Jed makes his plan to Impress Miss Gae. He supposes her to be about his own age because she appears quite young in the movies. His parents, seeing what a thrill Jed is having at the thought of entertaining a real movie star do not tell that she is about his mother's age and that they attended school together. After becoming infatuated with the charm and zee French accent of Miss Gae, Jed is brought to a rude awakening by Midge, who met the actress's son at the station and brought him to see his mother. Adoree rises to the occasion by deciding to act her age and relinquishes to Midge her orchids, the badge of glamour! 80 .iOonAPj OUR YEARBOOK WAS SUPPLIED BY THE INTER-COLLEGIATE PRESS KANSAS CITY DIPLOMAS M uui{acluwu Zxclutwely YEARBOOKS ta the ANNOUNCEMENTS gchooli oj America PERSONAL CARDS CAPS AND GOWNS 0 i 4Ht yxvi TREASURY OF WISDOM STATIONERY I
