Though high school days are past, Our battles will just begin, There is much to be accomplished And many victories yet to win. As We look into the future, Our roads lead everywhereg We must strive to do our level best And do all our Work with care. Now, as we take leave of our dear High Our thoughts of school will ever stay And as We journey thru' this life Memories of school, will not be far away. -Janis J.

At a class meeting in Septem- ber Arlise Mord was elected president, Duane Swanson, vice- presidentg Maxine Bengtson, secretary-treasurer, and Miss Mogck, sponsor. During the year a scavenger hunt and a gym- nasium party were held. With the re-opening of school in 1943, twenty-nine Juniors enrolled in Wausa High School.

Hawkinson was the speaker. On May 17 commencement exercises were held in the Auditorium with Dr. S. B. Shively of Wayne delivering the address. It may be interesting to know that two students who enrolled as freshmen in our class are now serving in the armed forces. These boys are Dennis Lindblad and Chester Reed. A -Maxine Bengtson. SENIOR CLASS PRCIPHECY While turning the calendar to May 1, 1965, I was warned by the office boy that my boss, Gerald Shallberg, wished to see me in his office. With a slight feeling of curiosity, I entered the spacious, air-conditioned office of the manager of the Shallberg Non-slippery Spaghetti Company of Omaha. As I neared his desk, which was covered with letters, I asked him if there was anything I could do for him. In a pleading manner, like replied, Pm just simply swamped with letters of inquiry concerning our product. It seems that the public has no idea of the wonders of Non-slippery Spaghetti. I have come to the conclusion that a good way to advertise our product would be for you and my other secretary, Beverly Schulte, to make a tour of some of the cities of the United S-tates, advertising and showing it. After assuring him that I would do this to the best of my ability, I hurried off to tell Beverly of our fate. I Early the next morning, Bev and I hastened to catch a cab to the airport. While poking along at an average rate of 75 miles per hour, which was the minimum speed limit, I noticed that the cab driver certainly did look familiar, When we reached the Hi-Boy Airport, I looked him over and asked if he was Richard Holmquist. He assured us that he was. We certainly were sur- prised to meet Dick form the Class of '45. We didn't have-much time to talk as our plane was to leave in about fifteen minutes. While buying our tickets for Chicago, Illinois, I immediately recognized the ticket seller as the former Marjorie Lindstrom. She informed us that she was married and lived up on Dodge Street. As we started for our plane, she reminded us to say l 5 V , , vi I -I -- ., 1- f- W- ---.- - v ., , 777 , ft I Rfb 151173 tl. 1 -.-A , hello to Virginia Mae Carlson, when we reached Chicago. Vir- ginia was Working there as assistant to a specialist of Fallen Arches. I As we boarded the plane, Beverly nudged me and said, Why, the pilot is Dale Johnson, from our own class in high school. He told us that he had been a pilot for more than eleven years. I always thought he would become a flyer because of his immense interest in every plane that could be seen from the Wausa High windows. We took our places farther back in the ship and finally took-off . After dozing a while, we saw an air stewardess com- ing toward us, What! Another classmate? It was Patricia Swan- son and she hadn't changed a bit. After talking over some of those good old times at Wausa High, she was on her way to give comfort to the other passengers. Later a lady asked us if we wished to read the newspaper as she had finished reading it. Why, this kind lady was Elaine Larson. She said that she was working as an assistant to a photographer in Lincoln. She was going now to visit some rela- tives in Detroit, Michigan. While looking over the front page of The New York Newsy, I saw the following words in huge, black letters: JANIS JOHN- SON, WORLD-FAMOUS POETESS, WRITES NEW SENSA- 'l'ION. Reading further, I learned that Janis had been awarded first prize in the World-Poetry Contest 'of 1964. Finally 'we reached Chicago and decided the first thing to do was to find a place to exhibit our product. We walked down Michigan Avenue and soon spied a tremendous sign, SEE SEGER'S CIRCUS . Bev and I were both shocked but after- wards laughed to think we even imagined it was a Seger we might know. But anyway we decided to investigate. We asked who the manager was and found it to be Wesley Seger, After a short time we met him and asked if he would permit us to give a short showing of our product-Shallberg's Non-slippery Spaghetti. He allowed us to do this. Later, while giving the exhibit to the large crowd, we asked if there was anyone who would volunteer to come to the stage and first try eating any other brand of spaghetti and then Shallberg's Non-slippery. Guess who stepped up. It was Phyllis Ziegenbein. She carried out the experiment and then told us she was employed as a secretary at a leading bank in Chicago. ?We decided that we had spent enough time in Chicago so we took- a fast plane to San -Francisco. After arriving there, We walked down a busy street and spied a sign on a small shop. It read LATEST MATRIMONIAL ADVICE. We peeked in and saw a short attractive lady behind the desk. We immediately recognized l: er as the former Virginia Ann Carlson. As we walk- ed in, we found her trying to solve the problems of a broken- hearted newly-wed. Later she told us that Lou Ann Erickson was also working heref but her job was to answer the letters X t ,-K., X A fr ,f , ... , MM . . from young lovers, newly-Weds, and old loves, Virginia said Lou Ann was too busy to see us so we started for the door. As we opened the door, Virginia told us that Dorothy Benson was operating a beauty shop a little way up the street. We hurriedly left the shop and sped up the street. Yes, here it was DOROTHY'S DUCKY HAIR-DOS. We entered to find her giving a shampoo and an Hupswept curl mass , which was the latest, to Norma Bumann, another member of the class of '45. Norma was still as short as ever. Dorothy said she liked her work especially loved San Francisco. Norma was working at the Fly-Em-High Aircraft Company. Her job was to crawl inside the wings of the airplanes and do the finishing touches. We gave each of the girls a sample of Non-slippery Spaghetti and left. We hopped on a street car to visist Radio Station IOU. We thought probably they would let us advertise our wonderful product over the air. As we came in, the manager, Duane Swan- son, quickly recognized us and rushed to meet us, He told us all about his work and asked us if we wished to see Ardelle Angster, who was an entertainer. We certainly did, and a few minutes later she introduced herself as Auntie Jane, of the Children's Hour. She said that her story for today was My Experiences While Having a Nightmare. It was about time for her program so she had to hurry, but before leaving she told us that Lovyce Elsberry, Arlise Mord, and Arlene Wrick were nurses at the Sure-Cure Hospital, a few blocks down the street. We wanted to see these girls, but we didn't have time as our plane for Seattle, Washington, was due to leave soon. We reached Seattle about ten o'clock in the evening and wentf searching for a hotel. We soon spied one and entered. To our great astonishment, we saw that the clerk at the desk was Maxine Bengtson. She had been working here quite a while and still was her own jolly self. Later we met the proprietor, Ralph Enquist. He told us that Eva Mae Greenwall and Ida Prather were teachers at the University of Washington. Ida was teach- ing English and Eva Mae, mathematics. After a good night's rest, Bev and I started out to take in the sights in Seattle, We saw a large music store and when en- tering spied a sign, Helyn Lindberg-Music Instructor. We asked to see Helyn and found her. busily and happily engaged in her music. Later, as we walked down the street, we realized We had met all the members of our class except one. When we went to get our mail, which was to be forwarded to us here, I received a letter postmarket, Washington, D. C. I quickly ripped it open and found to my joy that it was from, Elaine Moline. She was overjoyed at having received the position of assistant secretary to the Treasury, and was so anxious to tell me of her fortune. Bev and I decided our boss would like to hear of our exper- iences so We chased down to the airport and again took-off for Omaha.-Earldine Ottoson. , .K X M.:-5 ffl! mn' ,RLY N L ' l . ,l :U - ..

SENICIR CLASS PLAY o 0 0 0 0 0 A LITTLE HONEY On Tuesday evening, May 8, the class of '45 presented the senior class play, A Little Honey , at the Community Auditor- ium. The play, a delightful three act comedy by Wm. Davidson, was staged under the direction of Miss Viola Mogck. The play centered around the romance between Diana Min- ton and Tom Corning. Diana's mother had taught her that men like women to be intelligent rather than attractive, but when Diana put this theory to practice on Tom, who had just return- ed from. two year's overseas service, she found that it did not work very well. Grandma, old in years but young in ideas, saw that the romance was headed for the rocks, and decided to in- tervene. She knew that one must use a little honey to catch a m-an. She showed Diana how to dress the stage and herself for a proposal. After a few interruptions, Grandma's technique suc- ceeded and Diana had anchored Tom to her heart forever. The cast of characters was as follows: Jerry Minton, a teen-ager ............... Elaine Moline Albert Parker, from next door ................ Ralph Enquist Caroline, Scoots, Jerry's younger sister ...... Norma Bumann Diana, Jerry's older sister ............. . . . Beverly Schulte Delores Megglehammer, the cook ...... . . .

After enjoy- ing la belated breakfast, the entire group boarded a street car for Morningside. Arriving there, the class toured the campus under the guidance of Dean Hartman. Places of interest on the campus were the library, the conservatory of music, the gym- nasium, and the barn , the students' recreation and social build- ing. The group also had the pleasure of attending a Freshmen class chapel program where a take-off of the musical comedy Oklahoma was presented, The girls also enjoyed a trip through the fine dormitory located near the campus. Returning to down-town Sioux City, the class met at David- son's Tea Room for their noon luncheon. During the afternoon, several of the group visited the NBT Business College and the Lutheran Hospital. Others spent their time shopping, attending the movies, or riding the street cars, which seemed to be a popu- lar diversion for many of the group. The evening hours were spent in roller-ska-ting or at the movies. After a day of fun and excitement in the city, the group started for home, tired, but happy because of the splendid time and beautiful spring day which they had for this eventful part of their high school life.-Virginia Mae Carlson.

' cocoa - FCIDTBALL J Football practice opened for the 1944 season about the third week in September. The belated start was due to the lack of a coach as well as a feeling that the fall sport should be dropped for the duration Finally, Elton Greenwall, an alumnus and former player, volunteered to work out with the squad and give them what help he could to build a six-man team. Fourteen boys were out for practice, among them A being three lettermen who had some previous experience. The rest of the squad were plenty green as football was dropped entirely during 1943. The three lettermen were Dale Johnson, DeVere - - .3 M i-,- .., , . 1.g,.A, ,mm v !' .-,r ,TQ .... Johnson, and Donald Larson. As a number of the schools who had been our opponents in previous years had dropped football temporarily, only three games were scheduled, Two of these were with the strong Wayne Prep team. In the first game with the Prepsters, the Vikings were defeated, 41 to 0, but most of the team members gained valuable experience in this game. In a return game played on the local gridiron the Vikes played a much better game, but so did the visitors from Wayne. Wausa was again defeated by a 57 to 0 score. The Vikes threatened to score several times in this game but lacked the punch to gain yardage when near the goal lines.

XT! pw' DISTRICT BASKETBALL TDURNAMENT 5 The Wausa High School was again privileged to play host to the basket-ball teams in this area, when the District Class C basketball tournament was held at the Auditorium. Tournament play took, place for four nights, begining on February 28, with eleven teams battling it out for district honors. The weather was favorable for the greater part of the tournament and large crowds of basketball fans were on hand to boost their teams on to victory. The: night of the semi-finals, a near blizzard pre- vailed in this area, so the attendance was cut considerably on that night. The tournament grossed 384455, ranking the Wausa tournament in second place financially, among a total of sixteen Class C tournaments in the state. ' Randolph and Coleridge were the seeded teams, and lived up to predictions by meeting in the finals for the district cham- pionship, which was won by Randolph. Battle Creek, a team that gave the champions a real scare in the semi-finals, won third place over Holy Trinity of Hartington. Trophies were pre- sented to these four teams on the final night of the tournament. A. G. Peterson, Plainview, and G. Martin Hofer, Brunswick, were the tournament referees.-Ralph Enquist.

The custom of having every Tuesday as bond and stamp day was continued, with very satisfactory results. Up to and includ- ing the first week in May, stamp and bond sales totaled 33396.20 Grade school pupils accounted for more than half of this total, their purchases amounting to S1796.75, while high school pupils purchases during this same period amounted to 373620. The balance represented faculty purchases of bonds du1'ing the Sixth War Loan drive, Pupils in the fifth and sixth grade room set the pace in purchases during the year, with a total of S'S705.30. Seventh and eighth graders were in second place with total pur- chases of 354035. These four grades enjoyed the privilege of displaying their Minute Man emblem each week, thus sig- nifying that ninety per cent or more of the class members were making weekly purchases of stamps regularly. All the pupils of the school were enrolled in the Junior Red Cross. A number of activities and projects for the benefit of those in the armed forces of our country were carried out dur- ing the year. The greater part of this work was centered in the grades. Donations to the Junior Red Cross fund amounted to 31918. Miss Amy Soderberg was the local chairman for the Wausa Schools. Grade and high school pupils responded splendidly to the drive for funds to carry on the work of the United War Fund and the American Red Cross, by contributing 8320.30 to the form- er organization and 355.62 to the latter. Other worthy causes to which contributions were made during the year, included some S60 to the Infantile' Paralysis drive, and S31 to the Children's Memorial Hospital in Omaha. The pupils of the high school gave up their annual exchange of Christmas gifts, and in it's place made the Memorial Hospital contribution. Two waste paper drives were held during the year. Both of these were sponsored by the Girl Reserves, and profits from the sale of the paper went into their treasury. Since December 7, 1941, a number of graduates of the Wausa High School have gone into the service of their country. At the present time the number is approximately eighty-five graduates. Of this number, four have already given their lives in the service of democracy. We proudly pay tribute to all our alumni who have answered the call to the colors, and we honor the memory of those who have made the supreme sacrifice. -ln...Y- V--g-..V--W-.-.Y .
