Rehearsals we'd made of plans laid with care, In hopes that each one of us soon would be there. Last night we lay moaning asleep on our beds, While nightmares of lessons flashed thru our heads. Then we silently waited, with sweat on our brow, Graduation had come-the time was right now. Then up to the stage came the lean and the fatter, A lot of gray robes-fvery little gray matterl. Tho our faces they shone, so rosy and red, Still they hadn't the luster of Haehlen's bald head. So stately we walked as we filed to our seats, So proudly we sat with the world at our feet: When what to our wondering eyes should appear, But a shiny black suit, with a pleat in the rear, With a little old speaker, so lively and quick, We knew in a moment, he'd pour it on thick. More rapid than seagulls embarrassment came As he looked us all over, and called us by name- Now Baxter, now Babcock, now Corson and Diercks, He went down the line, and he gave us the works. You can-if you will-be the best of them all, Yet you never must falter, you never must fall! Then with wisdom for all, a joke, and a pun, We suddenly found that the speaker was done. So back to his seat in a moment he flew, And I think by his looks he was glad he was thru For he settled right back in his seat with a sigh, I'm glad it was he who spoke, and not I. Then I looked at the table, and there in a line Lay neat little rolls, and I hoped one was mine. But I didn't wait long, when a jolly old fellow Arose from his seat, and he started to bellow. Oh he surely was neat, from his head to his toe, His shoes they were polished, and fairly did glow. Yet despite all his neatness and language so fine, His knees were still shaking, and boy so were mine. So nervous was he as he gave his eration You'd actually think it was his graduation. But he spoke not a word, as he spun on his heel You could tell what he thought, Boy, am I a big wheell -16- As he took the first roll, I expected the worst, But he went down the alphabet--Abie was first. So Abie arose, and I bet he near died, 'Cause I'm sure I could feel pins and needles inside, But he took his diploma, and shook the man's hand- You could see in a moment, that Abie felt grand. One by one we went forward and held out a paw But we all felt the same-it was pride mixed with awe . Pride that we'd made it, awe heck 'twasn't bad When you stop and look back at the fun that we had. All the way to the end, my legs felt like jelly, 'Till we came to the tail of the list-Marvin Zelle. Then I heard someone say-I think 'twas Bob Grover, Already I wish I could do it all overI - Harold Hastings. -K BAN YUU IMAGINE Jim without Eddie Don Heyei' a city slicker Doug Baxter with a pick and shovel Betsy Broadie without an imagination Royal Hazlitt here Pat Koch alone in her A Abie Adelmund not being teacher's pet in Art Miss Peak alone in her room at 8:55 A.M.

D ouglas Harris High school at lastl That's what we all thought though we may not have voiced it. Hi, treshman, said a lot ot those haughty upperclassmen. Not much sympathy from them did we get. With the help ot our advisors, Mr. Hot and Mrs, Jones, however, and a few upper's, we dug in tor a tour year stay, we hoped. Q Our first class meeting was a muddle. Getting acquainted with everyone was the first prob- lem. Our pride almost burst when we elected our first Student Council representative. Dale Strotman was our choice. To look after the activities ot our class we chose the following: Pres., Duane Brandt, Vice Pres., Janet Meyer, Sec., Mary Jane Gogg, and as Treas., Jim Mooney. Participation in the major activities ot the school we saved until our next year, tor most ot us were too busy learning the ropes in 1944. As Sophomores, we really started rolling. Emma Jean Aardal, Dwayne Chapman, Ruth Hoelling, and Ellen Niewohner were our Pres., Vice Pres., Sec., and Treas., respectively. Duane Brandt represented our class on the Student Council. We really thought we were big wheels now and we were too. Mary Jane Gogg was a cheerleader, Emma Jean Aardal and Mary Jane Gogg were our Homecoming Oueen nominees and Dale Strotrnan and Duane Brandt were a couple ot big guns on the varsity basketball team which took third in the state tournament. Duane won all-state honors. Miss Eno and Mr. Brandes, as our advisors, did all they could to help us climb. f Now we're Juniors and just try to tell us something. Those seniors have nothing on us. Mary Jane Gogg is again a cheerleader. Duane Brandt, Doug Harris, and Dwayne Chapman are our Student Council members. Oh, yes, this year we gave our Junior Class play. It was great, we thought, What A Lite, with Elsie Peyer and Arlan Rahlt as leading lady and man. Miss Baumgartner, speech and dramatics director, directed the play. Homecoming Queen nominees were Emma Jean Aardal and Ellen Niewohner. Officers ot our class for this year are Duane Brandt, Pres., Katherine Sietkes, Vice Pres., Dale Strotman, Sec., and Doug Harris, Treas. Mr. Cook and Miss Gustafson are our advisors.

Lester Schellhorn SUPHUMURE CLASS HISTORY In September, 1945, we entered Waverly High School as a mighty class of Freshmen out to prove that we too could gain prominence and fame as our upperclassmen had done. The first few weeks were those we would be happy to forget but it didn't take long 'til we were firmly on our feet on the road to success. As a representative to voice our opinions on legal matters we chose John Sullivan as a student council member. Ralph Nicolaus, Lester Schellhorn, Myron Bartlett and Ed Harmening led the way in our ambitious search for knowl- edge as President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer, respectively. Miss Terrill and Mr. Anderson lighted the way on this curved and hilly path called Freshman Road. We found ourselves running on all four when Darlene Krueger and Jo Ann Harmening were chosen to represent our class as Homecoming Ouccn nominees. The riding became smoother and straighter as we turned the road to Sophomore. We chose Ralph Nicolaus, President, John Sullivan, Vice Prcxident, Richard Rowray, Secretary, and Lester Schellhorn, Treasurer, to steer us over the obstacles on this trip. However, we were a firm body not to be shaken by any obstacles, and to prove this John Sullivan again used his powers to gain prominence on the Student Council. Miss Eno and Mr. Brandes, as advisors, have led the way on this, our Sophomore trek. This year Roberta Gardner and Delores Minneart had the honor of being selected nominees for Homecoming Queen. Athletic achievements and accomplishments in other activities have marked our progress along our unfinished journey. We're looking forward with great anticipation to traveling successfully the next two laps, the Junior and Senior. With our Freshman and Sophomore experience to back us, we feel that the remaining travel will be over smooth highways. -22.- SOPHOMORE CLASS FIRST ROW: Patricia Gardner, Erna Bast, Marian Kellner, Arden Holmes, Shirley Johnston, Patricia Downing, Eleanor Eich- 1'ia n, Dcnna Bade.

In addition, Mary Lou de Neui and Marcia Willsey represented the Freshman Class as Home- coming Oueen nominees. Every class needs an active group of otticers and what more could any class ask tor than Keith McClure as President, Mary Lou de Neui as Vice President, Betty Lou Noel as Secretary and Bruce Strotman as Treasurer? As class sponsors they chose Miss Jane Peak and Mr. Glen Anderson. Betty Lou Noel has well represented the Freshman Class on the Student Council this past year. The B football and basketball teams, strongly supported by Freshman fellows came through with flying colors. Suppose the reason could have been the tact that two of the tive cheerleaders were their own classmates, Beverly Strotman and Marcia Willsey? -24.- FRESHMAN CLASS FRONT ROW: JoAnn Rediske, Beverly Strotman, Marvel Rohwedder, Betty Lou Noel, Jeannette Laird, Maxine Thiemann, Shirley Roever, Darlene Wilkens, Mary Ann Riackenberg.

He bought an Adams hat and tied a Knott in the scart to See it it was strong. He took out his Shaffer pen to write a check or Ellis he couldn't get the merchandise. The store- keeper wished himIGoodspeed as he left the store and drove out ot town towards the ranch. He turned down a long Lane, which had many Busch's beside it and soon his Swick car was scratched and marred. He finally arrived at the ranch and everyone was a Gogg at the new visitor. It was chow time and the Koch rang the bell bringing every- one to supper. They ate by Lampellight and sang Wait for the wagon, Wile we all take a ride. The next morning, bright and early, they started ott tor a hike over Hill and Marsh. They stopped on their way to watch a cowboy Brandt a Steere with a Rod. Suddenly a shot was heard and a Beebe whizzed through the air. Oswald tried to Duck-er but he couldn't. He cried Evans to Betsy and Drape-d to the ground. He knew that he couldn't get Her! - lein down, so there he lay on the dusty Rhoades. The moral of this story is- Heep your head low, brother, bullets don't sing in Harmeni-ng. ,25- POR TS Q Mmm Qf N I Wx ff H N ff U 4-as--.

I A-FUUTBALL Again, proving that Waverly is the home of the Champions, the 1946 grid season brought another Northeast Iowa Football Conference Trophy. The team, built around 6 returning lettermen, opened the season with a 18-O win over New Hampton. The Iowa Falls team proved fateful to the Go-Hawks by giving them the first loss of the year and injuring several veterans which proved to be a handicap throughout the season. Bouncing back from the 6-13 defeat at the hands of the Iowa Falls crew Waverly defeated Cresco and Osage for their 2nd and 3rd consecutive victories. Bad fortune again looked on the team as they fell victim to a Cedar Falls squad 14-19. Still suffering from the previous defeat Waverly squeezed out an 8-6 victory over Charles City, Unable again to come out on the long end of the score they lost to the powerful, undefeated Hampton elcvon, The Go-Hawks wound up their season by defeating the Decorah and Oelwein teams for the 5th consecutive Conference Championship.

WRESTLING This year a new sport, wrestling, was added to the varsity athletic curricular. Approximately 25 boys turned out tor the sport. Wrestling gives the smaller boys a chance to rate in athletics. The responsibility for a win in the particular match rests on the individual wrestler. He has no one to take the blame it he loses and no one to share in the glory it he wins. Long hours ot hard work were needed to get the boys in shape, because wrestling was a new sport and the boys needed tough practices to learn the technique. Coach Nelson did wonders with the team considering that all the boys were green material.

Re- covering from the loss of veterans of the 1945 squad, Coach Goodman built a nine which reached the semi-final round in the district tournament at Monona. Behind the iron man pitching of Gus Brandt, who hurled the last three games within five days, the squad improved game by game. The final count showed Waverly's record to be seven victories against six defeats. The tournament record was four wins and one loss. We are expecting a big season in 1947 with seven lettermen re- turning to action this spring. Player 81 Position AB H Pct. e Opponent: They McMichael, 1B 1 .500 2 ........, .. ....,.

Last summer high school baseball was inaugurated as a summer sport. Under the coaching of Melvin Nelson a schedule was arranged and a very successful season completed. Foremost of Nelson's accomplishments was the strengthening of the high school squad. The team gained extra hitting and pitching power dur- ing the summer months. Much credit should be given to Coach Nelson for his efforts in building the team and for putting baseball nearer the top of school activities. The seasons record was 11 wins, 2 losses, and 1 tie for a percentage of .821. In the pitching department Brandt won seven and lost one while Johnston won two and lost one. Brandt allowed 16 runs and 18 hits in 5335, innings and Johnston gave up 10 runs and 15 hits in 26l'5Q innings. The players, times at bat, hits and percentages are as follows: Strotman, 42, 17, .405, Brandt, 29, 11, 379, Mooney, 35, 11, .314, Spurbeck, 4, 1, 1250, Weltner, 34, 8, .235, Heyer, 39, 9, .231, Scherf, 39, 9, 231, Rowray, 21, 4, .19O, Sullivan, 31, 5, .l61, Johnston, 23, 4, .152, Knott, 27, 4, .148. gs I ES?
