On e Two Counc il Bluffs is the fifth largest ra ilroad cente r in t he United States.

Jhe (}olden Spike SNCE THE first transcontinental ra ilroad was completed by the driving of the golden spike at Promonotory Point, Uta h, May l 0, 1869, railroads have played a great pa rt in the development of Council Bluffs. Because of railroads, our city has grown from the sma ll tradi ng post of Ka nesville to be the fifth largest rai lroad ce nte r in the United States and the largest in its population class. It has the third largest railway mail terminal in the United States. The rai lroads he lp support the schools throu gh ra il taxes. They give employment to many persons here, and spe nd large amou nts for supplies. They have symboli zed unity, power, progress, co-ordination, and defense not only for our city and state, but for the na tion . These quali ties are reflected in our school life. In conside ration for a 11 that ra i I roads have done and wi 11 conti nue to do for our city, Abraham Lincoln Hi gh School dedicates the 1947 Crimson and Blue to the railroads. It is our "golden spike", li nking the rai lroad ing past with the railroad and air age of the future.

The Daughters of the America n Revolution dedicated the memorial in October, 191 l , and the site is now a favorite spot from w hich to view the two cities and the river valley. Lincoln, at the time of his visit here, first met and tal ked w ith Grenville M. Dodge, whose "whole career is synchronous w ith ra ilway expansion west of the Mississipp i," according to t he Rev. J. R. Perkins, h is biographe r. The story has been pre - served in " T rails, Rails and War."

Pete Crose DIRECTOR: Mr. Seidl "Boogie Woogie " Jack Treynor pounds the ivories and draws a n admiring crowd , The fun, hub-bub and excitement of contest work is the mai n event of the school year for the musicians in the small instrumental groups. Some might say, " Where do you see any fun in working over music just for a rating"? They wou ld a nswer back, " You don't know what you're missing." Of course it's hard work practicing and practicing unti l the piece is ready for perfection, but, oh, how proud they feel when they go to the score board and find that their division got a l rating! There's also the excitement of piling into a bus and heading for the place of competition, Top to ri ght : String Quintet, Brass Quintet, Woodwind Quartet, Contest Soloists, Brass Quartet, Trumpet Trio, Drum Ensemble. where young people all over the state gather to vie in music. A. L. was right on top this year when it came to excellent ratings, not only in vocal but also in instrumental music. ' The state contest for 1947 was held at Missouri Valley on April 25 and 26, with Abraham Lincoln being awarded twenty-seven superior ratings. In the vocal department there were four superiors and five excellent ratings. Tne instrumental groups, as shown on these pages, brought home five superiors and thirteen excellents. Council Bluffs is outstanding in music appreciation, and A.

" The Slave of Duty," as it is also called, is a comic opera wh ich was given first in New York in 1879 and in Eng land in 1880 unde r the direct supervision of Mr. Gilbert a nd Mr. Sullivan The operetta gets under way whe n Frederick, through a misundersta nding, is apprenticed by his nursemaid to a pirate instead of a pilot. Amusing experiences begin to take place. When Frederick gets his fi rst glimpse of women, he finds Mabel, his true love, and a touch of romance is added to the comedy.

Valley confe re nce foe, A. L. vs. T. J. Fift y- t hree Omaha Tech, at Kirn Field to start the season's campaign. Jim Anderson was fired a pass and he dashed over for six points. Gibbons of Tech scooted around end for Tech's score in the third quarter, with Sam lncontico booting the winning point. The trying Lynx lost 7 to 6 , handicapped in their ' 1greeness.'' With high hopes for victory denied them with Tech, the Hilltoppe rs journeyed to Shenandoah for the second contest of the season. Fighting hard, A. L. outplayed the Mustangs in the first half. The able Lynx were rocked for two touchdowns in the last half. Fumbles by A. L. let the score stand 1 2-0 in Shenandoah's favor. Facing the city rival, T. J., A. L. fought hard to preserve the 6-6 tie, which was racked up on a pass rifled to Jim Anderson. A blocked punt late in the fourth quarter set the Jeffs' winning plunge, with no time left for the Lynx to match it. It was 12-6, the Jeffs on top in points, as the game ended. The Junior jays of Creighton Prep were the next conquerors of the game Abe Lynx crew. A quarter-back sneak by Roger Van Meter netted the Crimson and Blue's only score .

Anderson snared a pass for six points early in the first quarter. The highly touted Raiders were held till the last quarter, when, on the fourth down, they plunged over from the six-inch line. The final score was a moral victory of 6-6. The taste of victory was gained against the Omaha Central Eagles the following week by defeating them l 8-0. Jack Scott sliced off tackles for the opening score while Dick Eckert scanimered w ith two passes for 12 more points. john Briggs stood out in line, as the whole Lynx team looked good. The powerful Boys' Town club, unbeaten and untied, were the next to invade the Lynx camp. Boys' Town scored on their first play. The Lynx came roaring back to tie the score on a bullet pass play in which Jim Anderson scored. The final seore rested with Boys' Town 21 -6 in a hard fought game . Looking for revenge, the Lynx took up their a rch intercity foes, Thomas Jefferson. Pass interceptions and fumbles ruined the Abe Lynx otherwise fine attack and accounted for the 26-7 pasting.

You are the principa l charac ters; your experiences (_w hich we have tried to catch in th e lively ca rtoons) are the plot; yo ur accomplish- ments, the climax. You, the students, are the real school. But with that grea t privilege goes a two-fold responsibility. First, th e school can fl ourish onl y in rela tion to yo ur effort, cooperation, and conduct. Second, the nation can prosper onl y :tccording t ::> how well you, through the school, arc able to take your place in our society. fn today's confused, rapidly-changin g worl d, the d uty of youth in developing its full capacity and stature is tremendous. Do yo u mt'asure up t o your importance? W e think yo u do - or can. T o our faith in you, this book 1s also dedicated. -2- 1 I BOARD OF EDUCATION Thomas McMillen- President Lloyd Roper Clyde Cavitt Vernon Allphin Charles Langmade Rev. Lawrence Siersbeck Dennis L.

Lawson, Abraham Lincoln head coach, requested on N ovember 8 a leave of absence for the rcm;tinder of the school year. Corning. to the hilltop in 1929, Mr. Lawso n has been head coach since I 93 6. Throughout the course of his coachin g here, he always regarded development of a large sq uad more important than that of shaping up a COACH LAWSON few crack players. T eamOn leave from hilltop duties. work and sportsmanship he considered paramount in athl etics. A lthough this year's eleven reco rded no wins, Mr. Lawso n 's teams have presented in the past the best percentage of games won since 19 19. - 42- the the Abraham Lincoln's Lyn x fai led to crack victory column during the '47 season. Still, team was not without success, for " ba ttles are lost in the same spirit in which they are won." Spirited varsity play was seen in games against two of the toughest opponents, Creighton Prep and Boys T own . The will to fi ght aga inst odds was present also in the other contests of the season with Thomas Jefferson, Sioux City East, Omaha T ech , and Omaha Central. If an A . L. team ever had to believe in sportsmanship as its own rewa rd, the 1947 gridmcn did . Courage, persistence, fairness, the stuff it takes- these were all theirs. Every boy on the squad is to be commended fo r trying his hardest. SECOND TEAM FOOTBALL First Row: Manager Dryden, Ford, Bryso n, Keller, T . Fischer, Diblasi, Post, Wickman, R . H ansen, F.

The Lynx squad was handicapped at the first of th e searnn by the necessity of practicing at the Dodge Armory. But under the able coach in g of Vic J en nin gs, A. L's new mentor, th e Lynx develo ped into a strong, well-lialanced team . SomelhinlJ lo Victor Jennings, former Abraham Lincoln High School and Parsons College athlete, took over the Abraham Lincoln head coaching position December l. H e came here from Alliance, Nebraska, to fill out the unexpired term of Roy Lawson. Although his sports career at Abraham Lincoln was hampered by an injury in his senior year, Mr. Jennings played brilliant football at Parsons College, where he was a fo ur-year letterman and made All-Iowa Conference end. Since 1936, Mr. Jennings has been active in sports, either as a coach or as an offi cial. His previously-coached teams have been unifo rmly successful. - 44- fi ghtin g gallantly, the Lynx nevertheless went down in th e first game of th e season with Creighton Prep. Then, journeyin g to Sioux City, th e A. L. squad defeated Central, 40-30, but was trounced on the East boards in a close, ha rd-fought battle . T he Lynx smashed back subsequently to win eight in a row: Omaha Central, T ee Jay, Omaha Tech, Sioux City Central, Sioux City East, Omaha T ech, T ee Jay, and Lincoln Central. Having defeated Lincoln Central, th e Lyn x lost th e Mo. Valley title in a heart-breaker with Omaha Central 38·37. In th e last game of the season, A. L. grimly hun ~ on to th e Creighton Prep sq uad, but once again ended up o n th e low sco re side . T ee Jay defeated th e Lynx squad in th e distri ct game to knock A .

School, too, is a "jumping-off" place where, through many kinds of learning, we ready ourselves fo r exciting frontiers of our own- " the adventures that have no time and no place- the great adventures of the human mind and heart and spirit" O n these facing pages are shown our school's physical plant and a view of Council Bluffs, once famous itself as an outfitting point for the Forty-niners and Mormons. School Is A "Jumping-Off" Place Captains of the Caravan On the old wagon trails, captains of the caravan were the organizers, the leaders who h elped those in their ch arge to journey successfully to their goal . .. Today, school board, administration, and faculty serve in a similar capacity. BOARD OF EDUCATION E. L. ALLPHIN, President CLYDE C. CAVITT CARL ECKERT THOMAS M cMILLEN DENNIS L. NELSON CHARLES W . LANGMADE LLOYD W. ROPER A Principal with a Purpose A. T. WHITMAN, Secretary SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS RUSSEL J. MOURER 4 PRINCIPAL OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN Alth ough h e is our new princi pal, M r. Stuelke is not new to A . L. Before th e war, he taught social studies; returning from se rvice in January, 1946, h e became vice- principal. An important interest of his is th at of developing the student council into a n organization of fun ctioning government with real influence . Anoth er is that of in - stilling in each student an often -neglected sense of disci pline and responsibility to accompany his rights and pri vil eges. Mr. Stuelke 's philosoph y of democrati c and practical citi zenshi p is best ex pressed in this message to the stude nts of Abraham Lincoln High : " In a democ racy th e process of educating yo uth should cove r th e span of life experience . The knowledge instill ed and the skills and attitudes developed should deal with th e mental, ph ysical, social, spiritual, moral, ethical, aesthetic, and vocational aspects of his life. "Our school h as a definite obligation to educate yo ung people to live useful lives. The educated man is h e who uses the culture of mankin d to adjust himself to conditions of his time." Theron R.

James Marshall opened the sluice-gate of Sutter's Mill, watched the torrent rush from th e tailrace, and excitedly scooped up a h andful of yellow nuggets washed th ere by th e water . N ews of the gold spectac ularly opened another "sluice-gate, " and th e tide of westward emigration spilled ove r the All eghenies, through th e Cumberl and Gap, fl oodin g the grassy prairies and th e far western slopes. 8 For some, th e gold rush meant a fo rtune gained ; for others, a fortun e lost. But, win or lose for th e Forty- niners, this discovery ch anged th e course of history- and u Before, we h ad been Europea ns; now we were something new, Americans, reshaped by th e influences of th e fro ntier land . Out of th e W est came a g reat American h erit;tge- a heritage of vitality, of strength , and of practical th ought--which gives enduring character to o ur peopl e ancl to our way of life. --- - -- - 1 J Looking Forward G old! For centuries that magic word has lurccl seekers o f wealth all ove r the world. H erc in America it sent th em fl ocking to th e Gdifornia gold field s in '49, and ag;tin to the Colorado country ten years later. But our rea l we<dth is not in " cliggin's" or beckoning greener pastures. A ll of th e qualities of 9 the frontier- self-reliance, adventuro us spirit, ingenuity, democr;tcy, and read y confidence- arc the "pay clirt" in yo uth. It is m th em, in each of them, this wea lth , pa ying off in their fo rward -looking visio n of a n even better Amcric t. So, to you se niors, .1un1ors, sophomores. ;tt1d freshmen- A .

The nation rolled west in cove red wago ns- and it was organization that greased the axles, th ;tt supplied the bacon and beans fo r the long trek, that elected a captain of the carava n fo r leadershi p. It was org;tnization, level-h eaded fo resight, planning, and pulling together th at b ro ught abo ut order on the tra il and mutu;tl defe nse ;tnd security fo r the frontiersmen . 1949 N o longer is ours the ta sk of orga n izing l1undrcds o f Concstogas fu r tnc ove rland route.

Orga nized under the leadership of Mr. M iller and Mr. Little, the club has built its activity around a Speed Graphic and an enlarger, both made possible from money donated by previous graduating classes. Additional equipment was purchased from funds raised by a dance and from the sale of prints of school activities .. . Enthusiastic members h ave been pretty much in the "dark" this semester, working away in the developing room, whi ch was originally a storeroom in Mr. Miller's classroom . .. Three main purposes of the new club are : to acquire know-how through camera work and meetings centered aro und different ph ases of the photographic fi eld ; to give students an opportunity to make practical use of their h obby; and to take pictures for the annual, The Echoes, and school sale. CLIO. The Clio motto, "Not for self, but for all ," was really lived up to by its members, who worked to bring honor to the school and their society, not for personal glory . . . Clio ac tivities began this year with the informal initiation of new members . . Lois T ollinger, Beverly Feekin , and Eve lyn Barritt were football queen attendants ...

A. R. winner of the good citizenship essay contest .. . To complete the year, the Delta Taus held their annual M other- Daughter banquet. DRAMA CLUB. M ore than 125 students are now members of the Drama Club, organized in the fall of '48. Under leadership of Mrs. Arlene Danielson Harding, the club has sponsored this year's Road Show, staged two literary society plays, the annual Christmas program, the junior and senior class plays, and assisted with the operetta. In D ecember they sponsored a dance called the "Bell Ball" ... M embers are now working toward a charter in the National Thespian Dramatic H onor Society for High Schools (better known as Thespians), which is the same type of organization for drama clubs as is Quill and Scroll for journalism students. ERO. Initiates of the Ero Literary Society will long remember the "cat" story as told by Joan Krause at the KOIL Point Picnic. And the food- remember? Enough and to spare ' ... The fall debate program was supported by M ;trie H ansen, a veteran debater, with new Eros, Gail Satterfi eld, N ancy W atson, and Renee N elson learning how to "resolve." ... "Good Night, Ladies," combined literary society play, found these Eros busily watching their cues: Jeannine Speight, Sue Swanson, M argie Jenkins, Janet Bartel, Jayne Allavie, Joan Krause, and Mary Castle. Marcia Gordon, student director, and Lois Brown were top Ero ti cket sellers, w ith the Eros as champions in society competition ... M argie Jenkins brought honor to h er society as a w inner in the Prose and Poetry finals ... Besides the initiation picnic, social functions included a Christmas party, a V alentine tea, and the traditional Mother-Senior banquet in M ay. HI-Y. This was a good year of accomplishment for the Hi-Y. The group sponsored an after-football dance, the proceeds of which were contributed to the N ational Children 's Fund. During the Christmas season, H i-Y boys worked with the Goodfellows, coll ecting money for needy fa mili es . . In March they sponsored a basketball tournament held ;tt A . L.

All were looking fo r new opportunities in the W est. Life was turbulent, hard, yet these pioneers found that the plink of a guitar, the scrape of a fiddle, the snatch of a familiar song brought great solace and happiness to them in the difficult days of travel. 1949 N owad;tys, music may be had fo r the asking. W e flip a phonogr;tph switch or spin a radio dial and it's there : symph ony or cowboy song. M ore satisfying is the music we create ourselves.

There in the magic of song and dance and pre· tending, they forgot the fortunes lost, the brawls and shootings, the growmg talk of lynch -law, the sweaty tangle of men and mules and oxen, the loneliness of working their claims . . . 1949 People have always liked make-believe. Just as those lonely miners enjoyed watching "Miss Fifi, " today we look forward to a movie, a musical, or a school play. W e remember the anxiety of our first "lead," and th e thrill of accomplishment aft er· wards. Since we all find self-exp ression or rec rea· tion in plays, th ey will continue to be in the fu · ture, as they have bee n in the past, one of our most popular choices of entertainment and education. 55 l ... .... ....L.......

M any of these armies of the frontier were poorl y drill ed . They lacked discipline; they lacked unifo rms; they lacked weapons, depending on their long knives and rifles. But they did not lack that intrepid courage and purpose necessary for defense of the emigrant wagon trains rumbling through N ebraska, W yoming, and the Oregon territory. They were crude, those old armies of the W est, but they served their purpose well. R. D. T.

L's young men responded enthusiastically to everything from the new M -1 rifle to air flights and firing demonstrations. Following are highlights in the roundup of events: Rifle Team. Lynx sharpshooters covered 1500 miles in shooting rifle matches. That's real distance-as far as from here to Boston, and far in excess of any previous year's traveling ... Competing in the Camp Perry indoor matches at Booneville, Mo., A. L. placed second as a team .. . "Deadeye" Roger Miller tied for third in the annual rifle matches held throughout the Fifth Army twelve-state area. A . L.'s rifle team placed seventh. Flights. High grades meant high -flying for a group of cadets who earned those grades in map and aerial photo tests. A warded a two-hour flight in a C-47 over Iowa and N ebraska were Leonard Amato, Lawrence H ardegen, Bob B. Johnson, and Dave Olson. Military Ball. Presentation of Bill Wickman as lieutenant colonel and Janice Reese as honorary lieutenant colonel marked the thirtieth an nual Abraham Lincoln High School military ball at the A . L. gym Friday evening, M arc h 2 5. With long-awaited fanfare, officers and their ladies were revealed as they stepped through an arch formed by the legs of a giant cadet figure suspended from the ceiling .. . Colonel Wickman's staff officers and their ladies were Maj. Don Larsen, executive offi cer, and M aril yn Peterson ; and M aj. Fred Miller, adjutant, and M arilee Stemple. Firing Demonstration. Helping to celebrate Army Day, A pril 6, c;1dets piled into army trucks and rode out to a fi eld firin g range, where was demonstrated for them th e firin g of all weapons in the infantry regiment. Men from A . L. formed the weapon squad under Gene W oolhiser. New Equipment. The 1903 model rifle went the way of all obsolete equipment, was replaced by th e M -1. A ccording to those who know, this is the best semiautomatic rifle in the world . A s a result, A. L. cadets had in their hands the most up-to-date and effective weapon a soldier could possess.

The Lynx tasted victory in the season opener, defeating a highly-rated Creston team 13-0 in a hard-fought game. With H al M cKain scoring on an eight-yard run and W arren Barritt on a ten-yard sweep around end, the Lynx showed great promise for the remaining games. Omaha T ech presented a one-man scoring punch 111 Ray Novak and conquered the Lynx the following week, 14-0 . Warren Barritt looked good for the Lynx as they suffered their first defeat. Coming up against a highl y-favored Creighton Prep team, the fighting Lynx outplayed the Bluejays all the way but lost a heartbreaker 7-6. Lack of speed hampered the Lynx when touchdown-bound runners were pulled down from behind. A pass from D oug Lawson to Don Larsen scored the A. L. touchdown in the second quarter. Winning in the last twelve seconds on a pass from Kinart to Corbin, T. ]. defeated the Lynx 12-6 in a wellfo ught contest. M cKain scored the Lynx touchdown on a pass from Del Ranney. A. L. outfo ught Sioux City East in a scoring duel the next week, 26-20. After leading 13-0, the Lynx h ad to come from behind late in the game with McKain going over for the winning touchdown. Lawson's passing was the highlight of the Lynx scoring punch. The following week Jennings' boys made it two in a row with an impressive 20-0 win over Omaha Central. Scoring all three touchdowns in the first half, the Lynx flashed an all-around scoring attack. The entire team looked good with McKain going for two touchdowns and Lawson one. Trave lin a to Shenandoah the following weekend, "' the Lynx lost to the undefeated Mustangs, 19-7, on a cold, muddy, rain-swept fi eld . McKain scored the lone A. L. touchdown in the fourth quarter and Barritt the conversion . Gaining the biggest victory of . the season, the Lynx toppled T.]. in th e return match, 13-7 . Barritt set up the first A . L. score on a sixty-seven-yard run and Lawson carried the ball over from the two-ya rd marker. T. J. took the lead, 7-6, when Kinart scored on a quarterback sneak and then passed to Gibbons fo r the seve nth point. One minute later, Barritt raced twenty-two yards for the win - ning touchdown. Gibbons was T. ].'s main threat. Barritt and M cKinl ey in the b~tckfield and Hansen and Crookham in the line spearheaded the Lynx attack. First Row: Bryson .

J What makes a championship team in sports7 M any will agree that three things are necessary: a capable coach, a star athlete, and a good supporting team. At A . L. this fall, such a combination got together to win the state Cross Country Run team championsh ip. The coach was Mr. Fee Chew, head track and w restling mentor at the Hilltop. The h eartless workouts h e directed really paid off in the meets at Iowa City. Chuck Whiteaker fi lled the spikes of the star that paced the team to victory. A mid-year senior, Chuck finished a stellar high school track ca reer by winning both the individual state championships in the mile and two-mile cross country runs, and copping first place in a mile and a h alf grind at Drake Stadium. T h e Michigan track coach saw Chuck perfo rm and had him running this spring under W olverine colors. Coach es and sports fa ns recogni:c White · aker as o ne of the greatest trackmen ever to come from Council Bluffs . Completing th e championship team were Dan Longnecker, Ber111 e Lainson, ;rnd Galen H assen. Bob Gree r, T ony Anthony, John M eye r, Jerry Kruge r, and N orman Kinney were underclass aspirants. Since workouts began in August before school opened, all hands were in good shape by the time of th e first meet on October 16. This meet was a mile team race h eld on the University of Iowa track at Iowa City. Chuck Whiteaker landed first place, fo llowed CHUCK WHITEAKER State Cross Country Champ by Dan Longnecker in fo urth , and Berni e Lainso n twenty-sixth in a field of more than fifty runners. On team totals A . L. wound up second out of 11 class AA schools. The next week Lynx leg- men ran against the Des Moines cinder athletes on th e Drake track. The hilltop team won the mi le and one-h alf contest with Whiteake r, Lai nson, Hassen, and Lon '.~n cc r in first, second, fourth , and seventh , respecti vely.

Coach Thurman Johnson, in his first yea r on the hilltop, was greeted by only two major lettermen, Doug Lawso n, a regular from last year, and Don Larsen, the "sixth man" of last yea r's team. A round these two boys, Coach Johnson built a tough, fast· breaking team, with Kenny W allace and Lawson at the forward posts, Roger H enderson at center, and Dave Lemen and Larsen at guards. Opening the season, the Lynx faced Iowa School fo r the Deaf, starring M ar vin Tuttle. The Lynx took off to a 5 3-48 victory. N ext came St. Francis, whom A. L. soundl y beat, 44-2 9. With Creighton Prep, always a topnotch Omaha squad, visiting the Hilltop, the Lynx went down to their first defeat, 40-24. T raveling then to Sioux City fo r a two-night stand, the Lynx split a pair with th e two tough Sioux City clubs, beating East, 30- 19, and losing to Central by a slim margin , 42-3 7. The H illtoppers visited Omaha Central th e next week and took home a well-earned victory, 38-32. But up agai nst the A . L. alumni, Johnson 's boys lost to the "ol' grads," 34-26. Up against their crosstown rivals, T. ]., next, the Hill toppers lost to the highl y-rated Jeffs, 5 4-38. The foll owin g week the Lynx moved ove r to Omaha T ech and lost in a fast and furious game, 28-24. Sioux City Central visited Council Bluffs fo r their second game w ith th e Lynx the next week. In one of th e most thrilling games eve r played o n the Hilltop boards, the Lynx lost a heart breaker, 46-45. With th e Lynx leading, 45 -44, Sioux City came through in the last Len seconds with a desperation shot that was good. Johnso n's boys broke their losing streak the next week by clipping Sioux City East, 46-3 7, and th en again lost to T ech the fo llowing weekend, 57 -48. Faci ng two more tough ones the fo llowing two weeks, th e Hilltoppers went down fo r the second time before T.J., 44-32 and Lincoln Central, 47-H. Henderson, season 's high-scorer, pots one for the Lynx The Lynx th en split th eir last two regularly-scheduled games of the season by beating Omaha Central, 56- 4 7, and losin g to Creighton Prep, 5 1-41 .

As a fund-raising project, members of the club operated a concession stand at Kirn Field during footba ll season. Three dances sponsored by the organiz;ltion during the year also added to the treasury. These projects netted the Lettermen enough to pay fo r the ;mnual football banquet, basketball and wrestlin;:; banquet, and start the football clock fund rolling with a clumtion of one hundred dollars.

ROBERT BROWN MARGARET HEND ERSON and THE SCHOOL IN ITS PRESENT HILLTOP LOCATION A cornerstone . .. and a milestone This is the cornerstone oF Abraham Lincoln High School. Into the hollow of the stone were placer\ the mementos of a bygone day. And into it were placed, too, the dreams of Council Bluffs citizens who wanted a better school and schooling for their children. Upon this same stone were built classrooms and laboratories, the auditorium and the library. And these activity centers h ave themselves become cornerstones- the cornerstones of character. Discriminating thought, social participation, and r esponsible citizenship are built upon them. The cornerstone is now half a century old, yet Abraham Lincoln High School can never be old. For, in an ancient or a new building, it is dedicated to an ag:less service- that of educating young men and women. . . ' t '' .. . • · ::beJicaleJ lo . .' .

"The experience of our High School shows the untruth of th e adage that 'A rolling stone ga thers no moss.· W e find that much of its time has been spent in rolling up hill and down hill, across the roaring Indian Creek. A s many of the older inhabitants will r emember, the High School was organized in the fall of 1868 in the Pierce stree t building, the Superintendent and one assistant teacher hearing all the classes. In the fall o f 1869, they wandered down to the old W ashington avenue building. During that year the present High School building was being erected . . . The first graduating class, consisti ng of two boys and two girls, appeared before the publi c in 187 1 ... When the High School was organized a three-yea r course was planned. A s there were only two te<tchers there was rea lly time fo r 'Little Latin and no G reek.' N o work was done in the Sciences, there bei ng no apparatus. H ence the course was devoted chiefl y to M athematics and English ... A number of changes h ave l::ccn made since that time. N ow, fi ve courses are o ffered , namely: Classical, Latin Scientific, Ge rman Scientific, English, and Business. " - Quoted from the Senior C lass An nual of 1899. "Liter the (h igh school) classes were moved to the 13loomer School where they stayed fo r two yea rs. In 1880 school was moved to the new W ashington A venue building and in 1890 fo und the classes back on the hill w here the enrollment continued to grow until the grade school classes were fo rced out and in 1900 the high school on Bluff Stree t was necessary. " - Q uoted from M arch 3, 192 1, issue of The Echoes. Top: "The present high school (on Bluff Street) was commenced in October, 1900, and the following O ctober occurred the formal dedication of the building complete. It is built along classic lines, simply but most efficiently arranged ... There are twenty-four rooms in use, including the principal's and the city superintendent's offices, and the capacity of the building is six hundred . .. Instead of a class of fo ur as the first to graduate, today there are sixty-four to leave the present school." - Quoted from Council Bluffs High School Annual of 1905. "During the next few yea rs the enrollment grew by leaps and bounds, so that in 1913 an addition was necessary. With the addition built, the rooms accommodated 800 students. The addition consisted of about twelve rooms, including a manual training and domestic science department and rooms fo r the literary societies."- Quoted from M arch 3, 192 1, issue of The Echoes. Crowded conditions preceding and following W orld W ar I resulted in three shifts of classes. During 191 2- 1913 and again in the early twenties, school classes r an from eight o'clock in the morning until fo ur o'clock in the afternoon ... Continued overcrowding led to the erection of Thomas Jefferson High School in 1921. In that same year, the name Council Bluffs High School was replaced by Lincoln High in the masthead of The Echoes and by Abraham Lincoln High School on the title-pages of the yearbooks. Since 192 3 the name Abraham Lincoln High School has been used to distinguish the old Council Bluffs High School from the newer building . . . The fin al unit of the school, the gymnasium, with band and drill rooms, was completed in I ?26.

Abraham Lincoln High School has traveled from the cornerstone of 1900 to the crossroads of the present. What is its future? Will the aging building some day be replaced by a great diversified school catering to the broader needs of all students? Actually m the relative .scheme of things, the building itself is unimportant. A one-room school can nurture t hat in men which makes them great thinkers, writers, artists, musicians, homemakers, scientists, doctors, lawyers, mechanics, philosophers, educators- great citizens. The cornerstone of Abraham Lincoln High School and of all education is the students themselves. On you, then, the student, depends much, for you are the future of this school.

Over the school stage is this motto: "Ye Come to Learn - Go Forth to Serve." H ere at A. L., we find that we can "go forth to serve" through many service activities. The Student Council, serving the individual home rooms, sponsors worthwhile school projects. Twelve council members are seen inspecting their latest project, new footlights and an apron for the auditorium stage. At Open House students of the National Honor Society serve as guides. D erelle Blumer and Sarah Stupfell show their parents the elaborate Road Show set. The Junior Red Cross serves the school and community in countless ways; one the home rooms delight most in is that of delivering Christmas baskets to needy fami lies, whose names are supplied by the J. R. C. Each semester student librarians aid Miss Lucy Miller in the routine jobs of the library. Doris Jean Franke is shown signing passes; Shirley Falk stamps a book for Janele Atherton, while Kathleen Steffensen checks through the book card file. Of community service is the Y-Teen Christmas party for underprivileged children. The girls dig into their own pockets for gifts and toys, such as those being wrapped by Janice Crisman, Betty Bruhn, Dorothy Madsen, Juliann Walker, D oris Jean Franke, and Barbara N eilsen.

No more assig nments, no more tests, no more seventh periods. Your high school days are over. These last four years of schooling have been rough in spots, but down deep you know you've enjoyed every minute of them. Your pencil lags and there is a funny feeling in the pit of your stonuch. This is the end of a way of life. An open \vorld faces you and it's yours to conquer. You feel kind of scared , for you now know the real assignments, the real tests are ahead of you . Every day will bring its problems, and there won't be a teacher a round to help you. Graduation is the end , you've been telling yo urself. The end , did you say / It's on ly the beginning .

SENIORS AT WORK N o matter which grade you're in, classes run just about the same; or you think they do until you 're a senior; then the subjects get tougher, what with trig., English lit., algebra 4, and such. The pictures on this page give glimpses of classes m which most students are seniors. T op: Jerry Passe r reports on Shakespeare in Miss T aylor's English VIII class.

Things in preceding years all seem to be important, but when you 're a senior you enjoy everything more because you know that it is your last chance for many activities- class elections, plays, footba ll and b asketball games, after-game dances, the Soc-H op, Military Ball, the Senior Day picnic, the Prom, and all the other things that go to make a senior's life complete . School life fli es by, and sooner than you think, every senior is tuning up for "The Pilgrim's Chorus" and reaching out for the fulfillment of four years' work and fun- the diploma. Montage.

But in the winter of 1901 , the "Hig h School Echoes," representing the entire school , appeared . A small magaz ine-size pape r, it was published every two weeks. Financial difficulti es caused the paper to be changed to a monthly publi cation. Howeve r, within a few pros perous yea rs it was enl arged from twelve to sixteen pages and came out every two weeks. Jn l 920 , the pages decreased to four, the columns increased to fi ve, and instead of bi-monthly publication The Echoes was issued every Thursday . Final change in size came in 19 3 7 when the present four-page, seven column paper was introduced. A charter member of Quill and Scroll , The Echoes is a member of the Iowa High School Press Assoc iation and the N ational Hig h School Press Association . Honors for The Echoes include the Intern at ional Honor Aw ard , l l)4 0- l949, the Quill and Scroll " A" Honor Award , and medal wi nners in the Quill and Scroll N ational Group Contests. Standing out among the advise rs responsible for the success of The Echoes are Jennie G. Rice, H azel Long, Marg uerite l -· ·! c i· and H Arthur Lee.

Six by nine inches in size with forty pages, it was more pamphlet than book. Graduating seniors were photog raphed as a g rou p on the school steps. The next year, a book with a hard cove r was prod uced. Then, yea r after year, each annual became less a cl ass book and more a yea rbook portraying the activities of all students. In 1930, the Crimson and Blue had over two hundred pages, but with the depression and World War II, it almost returned to the pamphlet stage of its beg inning years. 47 Things picked up after the war, howeve r, and in 1947 the first stiff-cove red annual since 1942 was published . T he 1949 yea rbook introduced a much larger format , desig ned to provide space for more attract ive layouts. Celebrating the school's golden annive rsary, the 1950 ed ition is the largest book in fifty-three years of publication , with hundreds of pictures used in contrast to the first annual's total of six pictures. Unsung advisers, whose work made progress and improvement a reality, include Mabel Brisley, Margaret Henderson , Mary Wall ace, and Eleanor Baptist. In 1947, after twe lve yea rs of service and fin e annuals, Miss Baptist reli nq uished T he Crimson and Blue to Robert Brown. Both past and present yearbooks have won First Class hono r ratin as from the N ational Scholastic Press Association . b £ l ~ f CRIMSON AND BLUE EDITORIAL STAFF First Row: Hand, Smith, Norgard, Gordon, Stupfell, Campbell Second Row: Pierce, Markwell, Schultz, Hoff, Andersen, Jensen, Anthony, Blumer Third Row: Lake, Ranney, Briggs, Greenlee, Fitch, Green, Ratekin, Sieck, Lawson CRIMSON AND BLUE BUSINESS STAFF first Row: Gall, Pfe iffer, McKee, Edwards, Cleaveland Second Row: ford , Kja r, Olson, Datesman, Molga rd , Byers 48 DERELLE BLU/V!ER Edi1or-i11-Chief SHERMAN ANTHONY Executive Editor J OAN EDWA S Business Ma11<1ger To.MOLSON Advertisi111< <111a.~er CRIMSON AND BLUE EDITORIAL STAFF EDITOR-IN-CH IEF E XECUTIV E EDITOR THEME EDITORS ORGAN IZ ATIO NS EDITOR PUBLICATIONS EDITOR PLAY EDITORS ADMINISTRATION EDITOR D ERELLE BLUMER SHERMAN ANTHONY JOANNE PIERCE, SHIRLEY MARKW ELL SARAH STUPF ELL PHYLLIS SCHULTZ PEGGY JENSEN.

Forerunner of A. L., Council Bluffs High School jo ined the I. S. H. S. A. A. in 1897 and has been a member ever since. Baseball was introduced in 1899 and in 1903 basketball was started, but p lay was hampered by the low ceiling of the gym, our present cafeteri a. Mr. W. C. Bleamaster came to the school in 1908 to be the first paid coach in the history of the school. His football team won the Iowa State Championsh ip. Nineteen hund red and sixteen was a great year with Pusey McGee named first team all-state guarterback, and with the basketba ll team taking third in the state basketball tournament. Under the direction of C. E. " Dutch" White, present track coach at Omaha Tech, the Hilltop boys in 191 9-20 enjoyed their first undefeated football season and were runners-up in the state basketball tournament. In 1925 the football field was bu ilt on the site of the old high school. The present gym was constructed in 1926. Making good use of the new field , Gordon Clifton set the school pole vault record of 12'2% " in 1926. Myrll Goecker and "Babe" Mou lton wen t to Iowa City in 1929 and brought back the high school hurdl e record and first place in the mile run. In 1932, Coach Fee Chew revived interscholasti c wrestling, which was orig inally started in 1905. Nineteen hundred and thirty-three went down as one of the biggest yea rs in A. L. sports history.

Warren Radtke wrote his name in the sky in 1938 by plac ing first team all-state in basketball and setting the school record in the 100 and 220 yard dashes.

Lead by the "ROG" line- D on Radtke, Art O 'N eill, and "Pump" Gibler- the Lynx took the intercity in 1942 for the first time. T he Lynx captured the titl e again in 1946. In 1948 Hughes Wilcox was the big name in basketball and track. In 1949 the football and basketball teams respectively came under the direction of coaches Vic Jennings and Thurman Johnson.

In this brief sports summary, mention of many star names and top honors has been sacrificed to limited space. But A.

Starting out on the right foot, the team squeezed by the Creston Panthers in a wide-open contest, 27-26. Dave Lemen led the scoring parade with 21 markers. Once more Ray Novak was too much to handle, as Omaha Tech, the Intercity champs, whitewashed the Lynx, 28-0. A. L. did hold Tech to one of its lowest scores during the season, however. Two long runs by Phil Legg io and Dave Lemen featured the first A. L.-T. J. game as the boys in the Crimson and Blue left the fi eld with a 13-6 victory. The hope of a successfu l season took a seve re setback as the B.enson Bunnies, led by Dick Westin , stopped the Lynx 24-0 on Kirn Field. Seeking revenge for last year's close defeat by Creighton Prep, the determined men from the Hilltop traveled across the river only to receive an astounding 34-7 defeat. Still trying to get back into the win column, the Lynx met a heavy and powerful Sioux City East team on the Black Raiders' fi eld . The Lynx, by use of their passes, were Gerdeman Dri ves for That Extra Yard Against Omaha Central. able to move up and down the field at will, but were not able to pull a victory from the contest. The fin al score was 35-6. N ever g 1vmg up, the boys from A. L. came back to overpower Omaha Central, 13-6. Just ten plays elapsed before Dave Lemen plowed over for his thirty-third point of the season. On a pass from Lemen to Schuman the Lynx tallied another six points and D ave McKinley kicked the extra point. In what was the best defensive game of the year, the Lynx held highly-favored Shenandoah, wi nners of the Hawkeye Seven Conference, to a 6-0 score. The rough, hard- charging Lynx were impreg nable on defense, but they could not get their offensive weapon into gea r. The only score came late in the second period on an end around play. A. L. Seniors played the last game of their high school ca reer aga inst their crosstown rivals, T. J., in an 18-6 loss. Although the game was an evenly-fought contest, the Lynx could neve r recover from an early touchdown by T. J.

The hoopsters breezed past St. Francis 53-36, beat Iowa School for the Deaf 37-28, and handed Red Oak a 43-32 setback. The real test was found in the first intercity game with last year's champs, Creighton Prep. And what a test it was. The Lynx, with three games' experience behind them, squeezed out a 24-2 3 victory in a thrilling game on the Prep floor. Sporting a 4-0 record, the team traveled to Sioux City to meet the undefeated Central M aroons. In a wild and high scoring game, the Lynx were handed their first setback of the season to the tune of 51-48. The next night saw the tables reversed as the basketeers downed Sioux City East in a low-scoring 34-30 contest. Omaha Central provided little opposition as the boys in the Crimson and Blue came out on the top end of a 52-32 score. With a 6-1 record, the team was g iven an invitation to play Des Moines East in a special game at the Iowa Coaching Clinic. East, the number one team in the state, had too much height as they handed the Lynx their second setback of the season in a 50-48 thriller. In a game that was close for three quarters, the Johnsonmen blanketed T. J., their crosstown rivals, and won going away by a 4 5-30 marg in. This victory set the stage for the Omaha Tech game, with the winner taki ng over first place in the Intercity League. However, the Lynx were not up to this game and Tech notched a convincing 54-3 3 win . The game schedu led with Sioux City Central was postponed to March 3 because of bad roads. After a week's layoff, the team met and defeated Sioux City East, 47-33, on our home boards. T he Lynx rece ived a severe blow when Bud Crowl, the 56 DA VE LEMEN ... a match for the big boys DOUG LAWSON . . . hard est worker on the floor team's high scorer, suffered a fractured foot and was thought to be lost for the season. Minus Crowl, the team gave Omaha Tech a hard battl e for the first half of their second meeting, but with Doug Lawson and John Meyer fouling out ea rly in the third period the Lynx were helplessly subdued, 70-47. Continuing their slump the Lynx lost a 61-46 contest to a red-hot Thomas Jefferson quintet in a return engagement. The next week a tall but slow Lincoln team came to the hilltop only to be handed a 45 -36 setback. Journeying across the river, A. L. was defeated 40-29 by a much-improved Omaha Central squad. Although apparently in improved condition , the Lynx five dropped their final intercity game to Creighton Prep, 48-42 , on the hilltop floor. In the final game of the season a strong Sioux City Central five, winners of the Missouri Valley Conference, fell before the fast-bre aking A. L. five by a 58-5 4 score. In what has been correctly labeled the " jinx game" of the . seas~n, the de.termined boys from the hill top, with spmts raised by their recent victory over Siou x City Central, handed Thomas Jefferson an astounding 64-26 defeat to gain a berth in the Sub-State Tournament. Being held to a 23-23 deadlock at half-time, the Lynx, led by Bud Crowl, completely out-scored, out-ran, an d out-played the Yellowjackets to cinch the Qistrict titl e for the second stra ig ht season. Continuing their fast break style of basketball, the Lynx crew stopped Ames 55-47 to advance to the Sub-State finals. For the second stra ight year in a row, the Lynx ran out of gas one game away from the state tournament. Sioux City Central turned the tri ck this year by defeatinn the Lynx 54-4 1 in the Morningside gym. Lack of he ig li'; and the close officiating hurt the Lynx cause as Bu d Crowl fo ul ed out early in the second quarter.

Failing to win one dual match all season, the matmen turned in one of the most spectacular upsets in a long time. With determination and stamina, A.

Second-place honors went to Del Ranney, 145 ; and Gene Woolhiser, 165. District meet this year was held at N ewton and the state meet at Mason City.

Coach Fee Chew had the boys working out early in the season and had one of the largest cross-country crews in the history of the school. The first meet was at Des Moines, and the Lynx placed third behind Des Moines North and Des Moines East. The next week the harriers traveled to Iowa City for the state mile team race. Just being nosed out of first place by Des Moines East, the Lynx placed second in a field of fifteen. Bernie Lainson, Galen Hassen, and Loren Ratekin ran in the money for the Lynx. Lainson placed second , Hassen was sixth, and Ratekin fourteenth. Two weeks later the runners traveled to Iowa City for the cross-country team race over a two-mile course.

During the 1949-50 season, the Lettermen's Club has been busy with financial matters. It has paid for and maintained the concession 'stand at Kirn Field, rented one popcorn machine, purchased another, and financed and planned all the athletic banquets. The dub has also aided the school in many other ways, such as helping with the basketball tournaments. Members of A. L's huge Pep Club-dressed m their white blouses, navy blue skirts, and white hats-cheer and encourage the team to win. The dub, with a membership of 117 g irls, holds meetings every other W ednesday to go over new yells and plan dances, skits, and "extra programs" given from time to time. Among these "extras" each year are the presentation of corsages to mothers of the basketball team, and presentation of the Pep Club "Pin-up Boy." Chosen as "Pin-up Boy" this year was Dave Lemen.

In 191 4 the first high school cadet play was produced. "Jeanne D'Arc" was presented in 1918, feat-uring the largest cast in the school's history. At one time there were one hundred and twenty people on the stage. From 1919-1942 each of the girls' and boys' literary societies put on a play, and the junior and senior classes each produced a play annually. The ROTC is credited with having orig in ated the first Road Show. From 1920-1923, the Road Shows were great hits, even traveling to neighboring towns, but were discontinued until 1930. In the past fifty years there have been several repeat performances. "It Pays to Advertise" was produced first in 19 18 and again in 1924; "Clarence," by Booth Tarkington, in 1922 and 1940; and "Tom Sawyer," in 19 38 and 1947. In the early 1900's, Shakespeare and German and French translations were the perennial favorites. From the twenties through the forties, play titles indicate a preference for more varied fare , rang ing all the way from the sentimental "Daddy Long Legs" of 1923 to the tragic fantasy, "Death Takes a Holiday," in 194 1. As there are no boys' li terary societies today, the g irls' literary societies combine to g ive two plays a year. Together with the junior and senior class play groups, they carry on the high thespian tradition established in the past by such A. L. coaches as Leota Hatswell, Lucy Jane Robinson Baird, Fred Morrow, Ruth Castle, Ruth Tamisiea, and Mary Ellen M cCabe.

As has been the custom, this program preceded the annual membership drive. " A Fantasy of Truths" by Harry Langdon was presented by the council. The play pointed out the ig norance of people 111 regard to Red Cross services. The play was directed by Miss Marjory Mahoney; student directors were Marcia Gordon and Pat H erring. Music was furnished by Mrs. Viola Bichel and the music groups.

Throug h the combined efforts of the music and speech departments, the true spirit of Christmas was felt in the hearts of all students. Played by the band, fam iliar carols like "H ark the Herald Angels Sing" and "O Little Town of Bethlehem" cou ld be heard as the students filed into the gymnasium. After the students were seated, the speech department of Abraham Lincoln Hig h School presented the Christmas play, entitled "No Room at the Inn." The play told the story of Christ's birth - familiar to everybody - but one that becomes more beautiful as it is repeated . The cast included Leonard A1n a t o, D enn1· s M ourer Pl ·11 · , i1 1p Sherbond y, Eldon Erickson, Jerry Pierce, Joyce Andersen, Gene Scott, Don Taylor, Henry Laub, Sam Tramonte, Phili p Leggio, Harlan Price, Dick Clifton, and Claude Antill. Changing from ti · . . ie more senous vem to the lighthearted, the chorus sang Fred Waring 's arrangement of .. 'Twas The N ig ht Before Christmas," complete with jing le bells and whistles. At the end of the program the band played more Christmas ca rols, whil e the chorus led the student body 111 unison sing ing.

P1IT PFTFHS :J)rama Club Under the direction of Mrs. Arlene D anielson Harding, the Drama Club was organized in 1948. Its purpose is to furnish an experimental activity for those who wish to participate in any of the speech arts. Students earn points toward Thespian membership through the Drama Club. Two honorary Masque and Wig members are elected from the cast and two from the production staff of each play and the operetta presented during the school year at Abraham Lincoln High School. Selection is made on the basis of outstanding work. The National Thespian Society, an honorary educational organization of teachers and students, is established for the advancement of dramatics in high schools. The aims are: to establish and advance standards of excell ence, and to create an active and intelligent interest in all phases of dramatic arts. Membership is obtained when ten points are earned as a student partrcrpates in plays, works on production and business staffs, or performs in other speech activities. One point represen ts ten hours of work. Under sponsorship of Mrs Arlene Danielson Harding, Troupe No. 964 at ALHS was g ranted its charter on May 16, 1949, with nineteen charter members. Although the 1949 graduation took fourteen of these, .five of the original members have been active this year. They are Claude Antill, Pete Crose, Stephen Durbin, Sue Swanson , and Albert Talbott. fAI.L L EONARD AMATO. CARL ZACCONE (A THERINE G ILMORE. PARK WILLI AMS.

'In 1910, the Delta Taus organized their own personal glee club, and '12 boasts of the first really successful boys' glee. Gilbert and Sullivan's "H. M. S.

"Bulbul," an operetta, and the dedication of Tee Jay H 1g h School were two outstanding prog rams featuring g irls' and boys' glees in 1922. A.

L.'s music g roups to walk off with hig h honors. T he last tl~ ree years have yielded two popular operettas - "The Mamage of N annette" and "Pickles"- and the highly successful opera, "Martha." Since the beginning of vocal music at A. L. , there have been many helpful teachers, but well-remembered in the long future w ill be the names of instructors like . Ang ie Middleton, Kathleen Shaw Miller, and the present director, Viola Bichel. Band organ ized in 19 18 . . A $ 500 appropriation from the school boa rd meant the beginn ing of band music at A.

Y.n6lrumental mu6ic 1915-19 50 First of the instrumental groups to be organized at Abraham Lincoln was the orchestra during the fall semester of 191 5 and under the direction of Claud Coyle. Three years later, thanks to a five-hundred-dollar appropriation, the band was formed. Both organizations found immediate and ample interest at A. 1. W ith careful instruction under directors Claud Coyle, Lee M. Lockhart, Willibald Nowak, and Rudolph Seidl, the band and orchestra have served importantly in school and civic activities. In contest work, both have nationally distinguished themselves against talented competition at large contests. At Chicago in 1923, the band placed third in the national contest; and in 1935 , the orchestra received high rating in the national contest at Mad ison, Wisconsin. N otable activities of the orchestra also included a concert March 6, 1938, at Joslyn Memorial, and a performance in 1939 on a nation-wide hooku p, under auspices of the N ational Music Educators Conference Members of the band and orchestra have established in the past a high standa rd of music at Abraham Lincoln 1-li oh School, a sta~da rd of excellence conti nu ing under the lead;rship of the new director, Harry H. il t~n .

Under the direction of Mrs. Viola Bichel and accompanied by Joan Mynster, this favorite opera of many generations won a new round of applause from A. L. audiences. The story, as familiar as the music, concerns Lady Harriet, w ho is bored with court life. She and her companion , Nancy, disguise themselves as country girls, go to the fair, and as a joke hire out as maids to Plunkett and Lionel. To their surprise, the girls discover them- ~clves bound by law. This all leads to excitement, love, adventure, and beautiful songs by the leads and the chorur.

Origin al page r eprod uced from 1904 annua l. THE CADETS 1892-1 9 19 M il itary instruction beg an in the Council Bluffs school system with the establishment of the Council Bluffs High School Cadet Corps Company in 1892. The unit was unique in that it was the only cadet company in the nation whose membership was entirely voluntary. Instruction was g iven by qualifyin g cadets and officers of the local N ational Guard garrison. In 1899 it was necessary to expand the company into a battalion , but interest lagged and the unit was reduced to a company. In 1903 all prev ious records of enrollment were surpassed and the battalion was reestablished. Inte rest increased as the cadets took a larger part in school activities, sponsoring dances, athlet ic events, and plays. CADET CORPS BECOMES ROTC 19 19-1 950 The s1:mester of 19 18-1 9 saw two great changes in the battalion's administration . At the beginning of the fall term of 19 18 military instruction was made compulsory, and on April 28, 19 19, the cadets were made a unit of the Jun ior Rese r\'e Office rs Training Corps of the United States Army. This .transition brought with it the benefits of government eq uipment,. uniforms, and mstructors from the regu lar army. Instruct.ion , mcreased from one hour to three hours weekly, consisted of baste dnlls for unde rclassmen and theo retical tacti cs for the seniors. The first annual military ball was held in 192 3; in the Cadet gray has been rep laced by .W orld W ar I kh ~ki. Familiar sig ht in 1921 was chok ing co llars and spiral arou ncl Puttees that d1Jn t stay wrapped around. \vra p-. same year a drum and bug le corps was organized . At this time two battalions were formed consistin g of three companies each. The detachment was sever~ ! times named honor schoc l. By 193 0 it had won this rating seven times. The ROTC continued to grow, and in 1939 there was a reco rd-break ing en rollment of 525 . Under the present P. M . S. &:. T. , Maj. Robert F. Bayard, the trend has been to have the cadets gai n instruction as much as possible throug h actual expe rience. This new policy and its expansion will help make possible a larger and more successful ROTC detachment at Abraham Lincoln. 5568 po ints p laced A. L.

Qualified cadets were then issued uniforms and initiated into the routine of the military. Four companies were organized in place of the customary fi ve, each company consisting of three platoons. Fundamentals of close-order drill occupied the ROTC d uring the mild fa ll weather. When old man winter forced the cadets into the classroom, courses in map reading, weapon study, military organiz ation, and tactics were presented. Cadets receiving top marks in the _map ea~ in g course were n a triang ular, three-hour airplane flig ht which covered Kansas City, Lincoln, and Sioux City. 16/le MAJ. R O BERT F. BAYARD MASTER SGT.

L 's history, there have been clubs to meet the demands, needs, and interests of the students. One by one, these clubs have come into existence. Some have served their purpose and then been discontinued . Others are still going strong in this, the semi-centenni al yea r of the school. Through these varied organizations, the students have widened their inte rests, activities, and knowledge, and have grown in stature as young citizens. These dates are only as correct as somewhat conflicting information permits. T he date 195 0 is used to indi cate that an organi zation 1s still active.

During the first semester, the whole student body helped raise money for school needs by selling magazine subscriptions. A. L. received a plaque from the Curtis Publishing Company for selling more than $ 1,000 worth of subscri ptions. Money received from the proceeds of the Coke mad1111 e was used for securing new footl ights fo r the stage.

Thalian debate teams, composed of D erelle Blumer, Betty Christensen , Barbara Hand, and Pat Jasper, displayed an excellent quality of log ic and delivery. An unusual number of contestants participated in Prose and Poetry preliminaries, and two members, Derelle Blumer and Veronica Silverstrand, represented Thalian in the finals. Work on the Extemporaneous Contest prog ressed with fine enthusiasm. Marian Leaders, Jeanette Thomas, and Valera Jepson defended Thalian laurels in extempo semi-finals. The climax of one of the most interesting and profitable years was the play, " Little Women," g iven with the Ero and Omega societies. In May the annual Mother-Daughter Banquet brought activities to a satisfying close. Gro The informal initiation of new members started the year off in full swing fo r the Eros. Activity continued with Joanne Pierce, Beverly Blackwell, and Renee N elsen representing the society in the Inte rsociety D ebate. Beverly and Joanne pl aced second in the debates, and Beverly further honored her society by be ing selected the best debater in the program. Ero Prose and Poetry fin alists were Etta Belle Teale, Beverl y 13Iackwell, Phyllis M alony and Sue Swanson, with Beverly and Phyllis winning first and third places respectively. The Eros, in cooperation with the Thalians and Omegas, g ave the del ig htful play, "Little Women." Social functions included a Christmas party, complete with a v isit from Santa Claus, a Valentine tea, and the annual Mother-Senicr Banquet in April. A. L 's golden anniversary year was action-fill ed for the Omegas. Jacqueline Collins and Donna D avie represented the Omega society in the Intersoc iety D ebate. Club members participated in Prose and Poetry, with Karen rson nd Kathryn McVitty as fin alists. On April 13 and 15, the Omega, T halian, and Ero literary societies presented "Little Women" as their play. Omegas held their annual tea for the Mothers in the spring when awards were g iven to outstanding g irls.

The Alphas have taken an important part in school activities during the year. Our debaters were Betty Bruhn and Joelle W ahl. In the Prose and Poetry fi nals was Mary Alice MacLafferty, who placed fi rst in a five-state tourney. Joan Mynster, the accompanist for many of the school's musical productions, represented Abraham Lincoln in the D . A. R. contest. Space prohibits naming those in the Road Show and the opera "Martha." LaVonne Cleaveland and Pamela Magarrell were cast in "Don't Take My Penny." One of the highl ights of the year is the annual banquet honoring seniors and mothers. Although several members will be lost by g raduation, the Alphas will continue their tradition of supporting not only the activities of the society, but also the activities of the school. The Cli? motto_ is "Not fo r. self, but fo r all," and every member stnves to live up to this motto by working to bring honor to tl~ e soc1e_ty and to_ the school. Clio activities began this year with the mformal 111 1t1ation of new members. Doris Andersen an. d Jan ice Bland were football quee tt d t . S .

Delta Tau, too, celebrates its golden anniversary this year. At the _turn of . the century, a g irls' debating society was organized at A. L. and, in time, christened Delta Tau. Miss Jenn ie G. Rice was its fi rst sponsor. Fifty years have brought many changes in the make-up and purposes of th is organization, but that Delta Taus can still debate is evidenced by their winn ing the intersociety tournament this year and fu rnishing two of the lead ing debaters on the varsity squad , Janet Sig ler and Sylvia Sicrsbeck. Sylvia Djurdjevich, Patricia H erring, Evonne B?yer, and Phyllis Schultz had roles in the tri-society play, " Don 't T ake My Penny," and Delta Tau was proud to have fu rnished both the Honorary_ Lt. Colonel, Shirley A llred , and the Football Queen, JoAnn O 'Brien. The most important social event of the year was the dmner g iven in May in honor of the graduating Delta seniors and the mothers of all the members of Delta T au. The golden anniversary provided the motif of the banc1uet.

Miss ELEANOH BA PTIST ofalin Club The Latin Club, consisting of fifty members of the Latin classes, meets once every six weeks for formal and informal programs after school. The two consuls alternate in presiding at the meetings. A typical program of the year consists of piano solos, a vocal solo, and a quartette. The Christmas program provides fun and gifts for all. Members held a very successful candy sale this spring to help finance the club picture in the yearbook. The Spanish Club was happy to welcome back Miss Lois Delk as its sponsor when she rejoined the Abraham Lincoln faculty after a year's leave of absence. Under her leadership, the club enjoyed many activities. The Christmas Party featured the traditional pinata with its sweet treats. The gift exchange was accompanied by the festive cascarones. One The Retail Sales Club is composed of Distributive Education students who arc employed part-time in retail stores, thus giving the students an opportunity to secure practical experience in their chosen vocations. Sponsored by Mr. Fee Chew, coordinator of Distributive Education, the club has carried through its work this year with great enthusiasm. of the highlights for club members was the January Spanish fiesta Dance. Programs featured the Latin-American arts. To further increase interest in the Spanish-speaking countries, the club was privileged to see Peruvian movies taken by Mr. Kaltenborn. A party closed an interesting and a profitable year. A play entitled "Ten Try, But Two Are Chosen" was presented January 27 under direction of Mrs. Arlene D anielson Harding. One of the highlights of many worthwhile activities was that of club members entertaining their employers at a noon luncheon at Hotel Chieftain.

L. participated in the activities of the world's largest youth organization. The various services of the Junior Red Cross were explained at an enrollment assembly in the fall. The council participated in many worthwhile activities. Clothes were sent to Greece, and ten International Cor· respondence Albums were exchanged with foreign countries. Rather than send gift boxes this year, the council decided to send a school chest in conjunction with several other schools of the Intercity Junior Red Cross Council. The chest included many articles of the gift boxes in quantity. Collection of donations for the Heart and Cancer Funds was conducted by the council. Proceeds from the annual Soc Hop constituted a sizeable contribution to the National Children's Fund. The Camera Club was founded at A. L. two and a. half years ago. Funds left by preceding senior classes furnished the first equipment, an enlarger and a camera, to which was added other equipment purchased jointly by the school and th e Camera Club. Although it is primarily a h obby club, the Camera Club h as been of additional service to the school in furnishing students with pictures of school activities, and in its work for the Crimson and Blue and The Echoes. The club has sponsored photography contests, and pupils have been in three National Photo Awards Contests. This year, the Camera Club has furnished most of the incidental and small-group photographs for the anniversary annual. As there was no 1950 Camera Club photo contest, the club was requested by the Crimson and Blue to submit for a miniature gallery in this book three outstanding photogr;iphic studies made by members. T hose of M errill Greenlee, senior, and Barbara Hagerman, sophomore, were chosen. N ot displayed, but worthy of honorable mention, was a sports shot by Joe Franks, senior. Picture Annotations: A favorite subject of many renowned artists, the old Iowa landmark in Mud H ollow was a "natural" for Barbara H agerman's camera. In h er study, Barbara h as retained successfully the atmosphere of desolation and cleverly angled the picture to point up the incongruity of radio aerial and log house . . . Once in a blue moon does a photographer get an action shot like tha t of M errill Greenlee's. M errill h as handled the camera in such a way as to "freeze" John M eyer's motion. Balanced composition characterizes the ph otograph . . Almost everybody loves dogs. M errill Greenlee couldn't miss with the picture of ten hungry puppies. A dding to interest is the effective contrast of long white tails and the large dark spottings. 99 fALL J OYCE AND ERSEN VIRGIN IA P ETERSEN EMMY L ou H ANSEN K ATHL EEN STEFFENSEN .

Kat e lman A Y-Teen girl is a junior member of the YWCA. Abraham Lincoln Y-Teens hold bimonthly meetings. Cabinet and committee chairmen meet on alternate weeks. The Y-Teen club is both a service and social club. Reel Cross work, scrap books for a children's orphanage, and a Christmas party for underprivileged children are annual services. Hi-Y's and Y-Teens sponsor a prog ram for Easter. The Y-Teens look forward to attending a district meeting each spring, where approximately one thousand young people meet from Hi-Y and Y-Teen clubs. The traditional M ay 13reakfast crowns the activities of the year, and many happy times become pleasant memories. fii-Y Tw.:nty-nine years old, the Hi-Y is a real character c.nd servic.: org:::nization.

"As we begin the first year of the second half-century, it is difficu lt for a principal to tell what the future holds for h is school. Too m any wonderful plans are never completed due to lack of funds, more urge nt needs elsewhere in the school syst em, o r to a host of other val id reasons. " It does not, however, take a look into the crysta l ball to predict that the only building improvement and expansion program we can expect here at A. L. is the insta lla tion of a new h eating plant a nd the conversion o f a portion of the fourth floor into rooms for study halls. "It is hope d that our curriculum expansion, despite space restrictions, will include more metal shop facilities and a complete agricultural course. The commercial department is at present considering the advisability of a genera l business course to replace the one in accounting. This would prepare more young me n for genera l office work. All other departments of the school a re studying curriculum changes and improvem e nts to mee t more ad - equ ately the students' needs and interests. "The second fifty years of the century should find continuing progress at A. L., for the stude nts make the school and there are a lmost no li miting boundaries on their ambition, effort, and achievement." Theron R. Stue lke f 1 ·I ' ·1 ) i ·I During th e P.-T.

J!. When a school outgrows its buildings, the problems are serious and many. Alternatives are those of making additions to the building, using the present space to better advantage, or constructing a new and larger school . With budget restrictions and with the school board 's attention focused on elementary school improvement, Principal Theron Stuelke's daily headache is that of the second alternative-using the present space to better advantage. Knowing that the school population peak moving through the grade schools will soon hit A . L., Mr. Stuelke has suggested that the fourth floor attic in the east wing be converted into two study halls and two classrooms. Such conversion would necessitate stairways, dormers for light and air, fire escapes, but would enlarge the school at the least possible cost. Still another formidable problem in using the present space to better advan - tage is that of offering a more diversified program to the students. I nsta II at ion of a hand meta I shop has been one step in that direction; another contemplated step is inclusion of agriculture in the curriculum when space for such classes can be found . Pictures on this page illustrate how A. L. is looking ahead into a progressive future . Principal Stuelke. with instructor Mrs. Marjory Murphy and students Bud Roffman and Sandra Knott, discusses possibility of turning part of the attic into study halls and classrooms to help accommodate future enrollments .. . . The hand metal shop, adding importantly to the scope of work in the industrial arts department, was installed in a former locker room for boys.

But during the last few years, a virile resurgence has become evident and the city is once again forward -thinking and forward - moving. The City Planning Commission, charged with day-today problems of city growth and with shaping Council Bluffs's future , has recently presented citizens with a master-plan prepared by S. Herbert Hare, planning engineer. Highlights of the plan are wide, tree -lined streets and boulevards, business district by-passes, an expanded, modernized school system, and development of a civic center. That Council Bluffs is a progressive city, compounded of commerce and culture, of homes and children, a city playing a proud part in American life and looking ahead confidently, is graphically told in the series of photographs on this page. North Broadway boom! Hansen's Additions and the Elmwood Drive area help answer demands for more homes as Council Bluffs grows ....

America is today at the crossroads of her destiny JUSt as surely as she was in Revolutionary War times, as before the War between the States, and at the start of World Wars I and 11 . Many c itizens have lost contidence in their leaders, in the country's confused policies, toreign and domestic. Many Americans who looked hopefully to the United Nations have become disillusioned by her hesitation and the tendency of member free nations to give this country only token aid in Asiatic problems. Lecturer and traveler, Cornelius Vanderbilt in an Iowa talk paints a grim picture of America 's tuture, pred icting registration of almost a ll men and women for mi litary or civilian service, and a huge army and navy in Europe and Asia "for the rest ot our lives." These are soul-searing days, as Elsie Robinson, col umnist, calls them. "It is doubtful if we have ever seen worse," she comments. "Yet bel ieve in America . ue1 1eve that Ame rica has something which no other nation has ever had. Believe in the faith which has neve r been daunted no matter how great our reverses." On this page is a picture-portrayal of t hose th ings which should lift us up when we despa ir of our fu - ture and give us faith . . Sharply critici zed and yet a last hope in attempting to solve "unsolvable world problems " is the United l'Jations.

Attired in its bri ght, new uniforms, this year's group, performing unde r the capable di rection of Mr. Ha rry Hilton, has ta ken part in parades, at footba ll games, basketba ll games, a nd at any othe r affair where spirited music was needed. In addition, the band presented a concert in the Abraham Lincoln gym on February 23, a nd went on a short concert tour of Southwestern Iowa during the spring. With the abolishing of contests in which the band participated as a grou9, a music c linic was he ld in the A. L. gym on March 14- 1 5. Mr. Robert McM ille n of the Unive rsity of Colorado came to work with the band and with individua l members. As a fina le to the clinic, a concert was presented by the band. The idea of holding a clinic each yea r was acclaimed as much more va luable to the music - ians than atte nding contests. However, soloists and small groups still ente red contests a nd gathe red many honors for A. L. 18 Honors received by the band were a Division Two rating in the State-Band Marching Contest and a third place at the Ak-Sar-Ben Ma rching Contest aga inst strong competition. Individuals received high contest ratings and represented A. L. at the All - Sta te Band Festival at Des Moi nes on Novembe r 24. "Busy but always ready and willing" could easily be called the motto of the Abraham Lincoln Band. BAND OFFICERS President . . . . ... .. .... · · · · · · · · · · · · . ...... . . ....

Honorary Majors Patricia Darveaux and Barbara Anderson. Anxious crowds finally received the answer to the year's most prominent question when Stanley Richards was named cadet colonel at Abraham Lincoln's thirty-second annual Military Ball . Anticipation wa s keyed at the highest point after the officers and their ladies had been presented and as Cadet Colonel Richards and the Honorary Colonel of 1951 . Jere Olson, emerged from a large " A. L. " at the south end of the gymnasium. Cadet Colonel Richards and his lady then led the regimental officers and their ladies in a colorful march in which the A. L. ROTC insignia was formed. The ceremony was preceded by a program including th e A. L. band and the mixed chorus. "Greetings from the armed services" were extended by Rev. Vernon Rice of the First Congregational Church. Principal Theron Stuelke then gave the welcoming address.

Hugh Jared In a world of conflict and uncertainty, the ROTC has scrapped its peace-time army training and put emphasis on war. A . L. cadets are preparing for possi ble a rmy service . ROTC teaching here includes a course on basic infantry weapons. Students tear down and inspect the M- 1 rifle, the automatic rifle, and the carbine. They fire blank ammunition to feel the "kick" of the weapons, and seniors fire "live" am - munition on the police rifle range . Small unit tactics are drilled into A. L. cadets during their three-year ROTC instruction. Each man has a chance to exe rcise his leadership and drill command . Hygiene, first aid, map read ing, orientation on new weapons, and military policy all come in for study. There is increased emphasis on physical development and fitness to meet the draft calls. The new combat-conscious program of the ROTC is a hard - hitting attempt to build the youth of the land into a powerful force for preservi ng peace or for fighting war against the enemies of our way of life.

' - Coach Thurman Johnson The Abraham Lincoln basketba ll team of 1950- 19 51 proved to be one of the best outfits ever to come out of the Hilltop. Only t he squad of 1942 could better th is team's 17-5 record. Gwards Bud Shortley, Dick Davis, and John Kates could hardly be beate n in rebounding. Scoring ability v;as well taken care of by the front- line- John Meyer, Bud Crowl , and Dick Henderson, w ho were noted for their terrific fast- break throughout the season. The Lynx cagers started off by winning six games in a row. In the season's openers they beat Missouri Valley, 51-40; Red Oa k, 62-37 ; Iowa School for the Deaf, 62-27 ; and Glenwood, 61 -38. The first rea l test of the season came whe n the Lynx ove rwhelmed Cre ighton Prep, 62-34. This was their initial Intercity victory. Abraham Lincoln went to Sioux City the fo llowing week, whe re they defeated Sioux City East, 55-51 . The next night the Lynx took the ir worst beating of the year at the hands of a sharp Sioux City Central outfit, 58-30. Expecting a comeback in the fo llowing w ee k agai nst an underrated Omaha Centra l team, the Lynx again ra n afoul of pred ictions and came out on the low e nd of the scoring column, Centra l w inning, 48- 42. A. L., going into the next game with a 6-2 record , b lasted their way back into the victory column with a 62-53 win over crosstown rivals, T. J. Traveling to Boys Town, the Hilltoppe rs met a sma ll but fa st Cowboy t eam that d id every - thing but beat them. The final score was 5 1 -50 in a thrilling finish. A strong Oma ha Tech five became the hoopsters' tenth victim of t he season to the t une of 60 to 48. john Meyer demonstrates his t echnique on a lay- up shot as he scores anothe r two points for the Lynx aga inst Missouri Valley. Who says the life of a "be nch -warme r" is an easy one? Expressions of tenseness and anx iety grip faces of reserves as Dick He nderson dribbles down the side in an attempt to e lude his guard. 6 1 ANDERSEN CROWL DAVIS HENDERSON KATES The next game saw A. L. fi nally get sweet revenge on Sioux City Ce ntral, rolling ove r the team, 4 6-35, that had slaughtered thEm earlier in the season. Big Bud Shortley showed up in true torm and stopped cold Central's 6-5 star, Bill Soelberg. Sioux City East was defeated as predicted, 53 -44. The Lynx went all out in the foliowing week. W ith everybody playing tine ball, they smashed Omaha T ech 74-52. This total b roke a n Int e rcity record. Now shooting tor the Intercity title the Lynx were saved by Ray Waters and johnny Meyer in the last tew seconds to put the Creighton Prep game in the win column, 51 -49. In the last regularly-scheduled game of the season the "firehouse tive" came back strong in the second ha lf to defeat Omaha Central, 55-38. Thus, A. L. was crowned "Intercity Champions," a title last he ld by the team ot 1947. The state tournament began at the Unive rsity of Omaha field house, w here the Lyn.><: cagers again pulled another game out ot the tire by coming from behind in the last t ew m inutes to stop an always rugged T . J. quintet, 44-42. T he next tournament game, w ith Sioux City East the opponent-, was an a lmost identical repeat ot the previous one , tor once again the Lynx, spurred on by W a te rs and Meyer, sta ged a ra lly in the last tew seconds. This only ried the score, sending it into an overtime . A . L. ended on top, 51-47. In the sub-state final, the Lynx just couldn't find themselves until the fourth quarter and by t hat time it was too late. Their oppressors were Sioux City Central, 46-42. Ma ny agree that, if the game had been p layed on a ne utral fl oor, A. L. would have turned the t ables on the only t eam to stop them twice during the season.

State Outdoor Meet The 1951 track squad began the season with onl y fi ve le tte rme n, Galen Hassen, Art Pankey, Ken Hutchison, john Meyer, a nd Ron Jackson . The te am moved out to a slow start by not placing in the State Indoor Mee t at Iowa City, April 7 . Despite this fact, the new head track coac h , Tom Cape l, was optimistic about his squad from the beginning. Although the team this year lacked nothing in quality, th e siz e of the turn-out wasn't nearly large enough . Coach Cape l e xplained that quantity p la ys a large part in tlie success o r failure of a trac k team.

L. for the first time, the cross-country squad began the l 950 season. On October 2 1, the thinclads left for Iowa City to participate in the one-mile team race. Boys making the trip were Galen Hassen, Ron Jackson , Gerald Kruger, Gerald Huggins, and Ken Hutchison. Hassen led most of the way but was passed in the last twenty yards by Don Murray of Des Moines East. Jackson c2me in eighth, Kruger nineteenth, and Huggins twenty-third. Hutchison was forced to drop out in the final !ap. As a team, the Lynx placed fourth in the entire state. Coach Capel, Hassen, Jackson, Kruger, Huggins, Wilson One week later, the same boys with the exception of Ken Hutchison, whom Myron Wilson replaced, traveled to the Ames two-mile team race. More than one hundred runners started the race with less than one-half finishing. The race was almost a duplicate of the previous week as far as places were concerned. Murray of Des Moines again passed Hassen at the very end, Jackson finished eighth, Kruger twentyfirst, Huggins twenty-third , and Wilson thirty-seventh. A. L 's standing had improved over the week to third in the state. The golf and tenn is teams, coached again this year by Mr. Walter Kaltenborn, both had busy seasons. Two returning lettermen were noted this year in the golf turnout. These were Dave Datesman and Jerry Lawson. Mike Merrill, Ted Tedesco, Charles Gates, and Ralph Storey came out for their first year in active competition. In addition to seven regular scheduled matches and the State Tournament, the golf team competed in the Missouri Valley Tournament held at Dodge Park. Although the tennis team lacked experience and a suitable place to practice in Council Bluffs, it was molded into fine shape . Ed Hoffman was the only exp : ri c nced membe r. Others on the team included Jim Stu z lke, Je rr y Beezley, and LeRoy Durham.

At the regular meetings of the organization, plans for dances, new yells, and special programs and activities are disc:ussed . As a form of tradition the club presents boutonnieres to the fathers of the football team, while the mothers of th e basketball squad receive corsages. Among the many acti vities sponsored by this group, one of the most outstanding is th e annual Pin-Up-Boy contest.

L. contests. Boys interested in basketball also gain worthwhile experience, for the sophomore team plays its games just before the varsity main-event and many times brings the fans a performance packed with thri I ls. The band, orchestra, and vocal groups offer sophomore boys and girls interested in music the chance to meet new people and, in several instances, the op75 Seated : Mary Ann Martin, Mary Lou Allred Standing: Harold Miller, Jim Stuelke portunity to travel and see different parts of the state. During the sophomore year, the boys begin to take ROTC, and the girls become active in different organizations, such as the literary societies and Pep Club. In the literary society plays, all eligible sophomore boys and girls have a chance to show their ability. The girls are also permitted to take part in contests developing their dramatic talent. The sophomore year, all in all, proves to be a student's stepping stone to stardom. Students show approval for their favorite candidates at the sophomore class ra I ly held in the auditorium.

October 12 and 14 we re the nights of the junior class play, "We Shook the Family Tree," a great comedy success. A few weeks later, in a hard-fought contest, juniors named their officers to steer the class of '52 through its junior year. These office rs, with the help of sponsors Miss Erva Huckleebe rry and Mr. Virgil Miller, proved themselves capable in handling the varied junior activities. Thanks to the diligence of the treasure r and his he lpe rs, dues we re collected, and this money, combined with tha1· from the class play, was used to defra y expenses of the annual Junior- Senior Prom. Any money rema ining in t he treasury will be used to purchase a gift for the school when the class graduates. The re was a rush and sc ramb le on class d ect1 on day as every junior hurried to cast a ,ote for his choice.

As sophomores, they helped to originate the Student Council, which ha s become a very important fu nction at Abraham Lincoln. From the beginning they have taken part in all curricular and extracurricular activities, such as literary societies, plays, Hi-Y, Y-Teens, music, d ebate, Pe p C lub, The Echoes, and the Crimson and Blu:?. Se niors have done their share in building up A. L.'s reputat:on as a lead:ng contende r in the va rious fi e lds of sports- l:: a sketbal l, footl::a ll, wrestling, and track. During their final yea r, outstand ing m embers were elected to positions of football queen, D. A . R. representative, Pep C lub PinUp Boy, class officers, cadet officers, honorary officers, and senior committeemen. Busy senio r days reached the :r climax with the beautiful, earlymorning baccalaureate services and with the comme nce m e nt exercises, which were held at Kirn Fie ld for the first tim e in the history of the school. Enthusiasm and spirit ran high at the sen ior class ra lly w he n t he stude nts chose as t·he ir leaders John Me ye r, president, and Pe t e Fe ldt, v ice- p resident. The old tradition of exchanging senior p ictures is ca rried out by Norman Springe r, Robe rt Bostedt, Ma rl e ne Martin, Dick Davis, Nancy Gallagher, and Ann Beno as their senior year draws to a c lose. 88 13ARRY DEAN ABEL T enn is.

BS.3'771 3 Section Editors : Florence Everest Pat Roennau Carolyn Shehan 1(1 i-: The :r IO' ~ z AVENIJ E A River ..,.: BROADWAY VI ---'2. ~lD -j:. AVE. ::i:: ~ ICl' !/l ~ :r (/) ...... -- "' ~ (<") Th I/) A ' ! ) ) ~ ) " ~ ~ r r ( J $?r..ah ~ ?rd The Missouri River was first explored by Marquette and Joliet in 1673. Then, as now, the Big Muddy fol lowed no discernable rules as to when or where it would change its course. In the century following the Lewis and Clark expedition, the Missouri River became a carrier of commerce and led pioneers into the Rocky Mountains. It played an important part in opening the Northwest Territory, providing the only means of conveyance and giving profitable livelihood to rivermen. The f irst steamboat appeared on the 4 ) -- I.I' '"'4 ~-"' AVE . < ~ '\ V' ,)l river in 1819, and from 1830 to 1858 trade mushroomed. Navigation tqnnage reached its peak in 1880, before its el imination in competition with the new railroad system. Howeve r, the Mi ssouri River is once agai n an important carrier of trade; levees and the removal of sandbars ~acilitate nav igation as .far north as Sioux City, Iowa. Along its banks lie some of the most productive lands in the United States. Enormous possibilities still ex ist in the M issouri River as a source of v alu ab le hydroelectric power, besides water for irrigation . Serene and beautiful, the Missouri presents another face to its admirers as it curves south from between the bluffs. The Missouri, sometimes a menace, is more often a helper to the city. At the Narrows Pumping Station, it gives Council Bluffs its water supply, and by means of sanitary and storm sewers, it takes the wastes, purifies itself, and rolls along to be of service to the nex t rown. 5 Rivers, like people, have personalities. " Big Muddy" is a river of many conflicting moods, of whimsical notions, of irresolution and determination, of friendliness and hostility. In the latter mood, it has left its banks to even a score with human beings who try to meddle with its wanderings and confine it to a bed that it has no intention to lie in . Like a friend, the river can be a help or hindrance. The obstacle of water must be spanned by railroad and vehicular bridges to bind into a single productive metropolitan area Council Bluffs and Omaha. r ~~, ' . I The City Born in the wilderness of the past, Council Bluffs has emerged as a metropolis in the richest agricultural section of the state. Her life story is a composition of memorable history. A council held with Indians by . the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1 804 gave birth to her ultimate name. Trading posts, as early as 1823, established the city at this location. Among the f irst inhabitants were Mormon settlers, who, in 1845, started a village on the bluffs and called it Kanesville. In 1853, an act passed by the General Assembly of Iowa changed the name of this progressive town to Council Bluffs; and, in a short time, the first ci ty govern - ment was formed . Six years later Abraham Lincoln vis ited Counc il Bluffs and selected it as the terminus of the Urrion Pac ific Ra ilroad . Perhaps Lincoln had hopes then that someday he would be the leader of the country and could help develop this area into a great in - dustrial and railway center. More abundant resources and opportunities a re offered today than Lincoln could have foreseen, mak ing this a city of active, progressive people. And Council Bluffs will cont inue to progress if her past history is any indication of her future . Council Bluffs in Pictures On Page 6: Council Bluffs is proud of its many memorials, such as the " Black Angel" by the famous sculptor, Daniel Chester French, tn commemoration of Anne Dodge, wife of General Grenville M . Dodge. Another historical memorial is the old pioneer log cabin which now serves as a museum for the Pottawattamie County Historical Society ... Recreation areas help a city's well-being. Fairmount Park in the bluffs offers outstanding picnic facilities, playgrounds, and drives . .. Stately old homes,- like those pictured, combine with newer ones to make Council Bluffs a fine res idence city. ,,.,. ~ __ ... - - On Page 7: Important to Council Bluffs are her young people and their education. Ho.over School is one of several new buildings included in the school syste 's construction program . . . A city must work to live. Among the big breadwinners are the Union Pacific, symbolized here by its familiar bridge over the Missouri River, and the huge Griffin Car Wheel Company, th ird largest plant producing ra ilway car wheels in the United States . .. In the panoramic v iew are seen many of the varied elements that contribute to the success of ·Council Bluffs: homes, industries, railroad yards, rich farm lands, and grain elevators. I I COUNCIL BLUFFS BA TILES THE RIVER When the history of the Missouri's greatest flood is completed, the Council Bluffs chapter will certainly be one of the most heroic. For, when Council Bluffs citizens saw disaster coming on the April floodtide of the mighty river, they battled with every resource at their command to save their homes, their industries, their town. It was hard work, dirty, grueling, tense and desperate work as thousands of Southwest Iowa people, the army, the engineers, the utility companies, and the railroads all combined in a superhuman effort to meet the rolling 30.2 crest. No other effort in the history of Council Bluffs was more magn ificent. Courage and spirit of that caliber could not be denied; and it was not. The town won against the river! With people of such fiber, such courage, and such selfless devotion to a community task, Council Bluffs can look to the future with even greater confidence in her strength, unity, and purpose.

Unsung HeroesAnd Heroines On this page are pictured only a few of the many members of the student body and faculty who, devoid of fanfare and publicity, go far beyond the limits of duty in unselfishly helping to make A. L. a better school. Reading counterclockwise: Principal Theron Stuelke interrupts many a busy day to help advise students on everything from private problems to the selection of school subjects .. . In spite of the variety of demands on her, Miss Lucy Miller finds time to pass along her know-how to student librarians-such as Donna Dingman-who, in turn, give up some of their study periods to help serve the school . . . Mr. Walter Kaltenborn and his student projectionists, here represented by Ray Dawson, devote much of their own time to make possible the showing of educational films for classes . .. Larry Knotek knows how willingly and often Mrs. Viola Bichel gives individual assistance to her music students .. . Mr. Nels Johnson's day is filled with countless little "ex tras" that are not part of his pa id job but are part of his thoughtfulness in making the school run more smoothly .. . A special commendation should go to hard-working sponsors like Mrs. Agnes White and con scientious students like Harold Miller and Sue Olsen in " seeing through" the numerous projects of the Jun ior Red Cross.

Jungquist "April, 1952, is a date that A.L. students and faculty members wi ll never forget. Rapidly-melting snows in the Dakotas and near-by northern states sent the Missouri River on a rampage. Men and equipment were mobilized, and U. S. Army troops were ca lled to Council Bluffs. It was necessa ry to use A. L. to house troops, the gym to house evacuees, and Kirn Field to house trailers from evacuated areas. "Many A. L. boys worked 'round the clock' on levees, fill ing sand bags and doing other important jobs. A. L. girls worked in canteens, supervised the play of evacuee children, and did. many other useful tasks. A. L. teachers worked in similar jobs, acted as traffic control officers, a rea wardens, and did general patrol duty.

He had that infinitely precious trait of not complaining, even though faced with the handicap of illness and the prospect of dreary hours in the hospital. In the sophomore class at Abraham Lincoln High School, he was taking the College Prep aratory course. Agriculture was ~ fa vot1fe s&bfec , for nature appealed to Bill. He liked to hike, fish, and hunt. Photography was another of his interests. When a classmate and friend leaves us, he is not forgotten. It is to the pleasant memories of Bill Sorensen that we, the students and faculty of Abraham Lincoln High School, dedicate this page of the 1953 Crimson and Blue. 22 William " Bill" Sorensen Deceased, November 27, 1952 CLASSES 23 Section Editors: Barbara Frankel, Kathleen Grahl, Charlotte Strong, seniors; Alyce Ann Franke, Jerry Beezley, juniors; Ruth Elaine Schoening, Karen Schroeder, sophomores; Bobette Davie, freshmen.

Countless honors have made th is class an outstanding one in all phases of school life at Abraham Lincoln. Janice McAlexander is aided by the photographer in her pose for senior pictures.

The Hilltoppers, however, were able to throw off the jinx and hit "pay-dirt" three times against their crosstown rival, Thomas Jefferson. Boham, Cheyne, and Rapalje were stand-outs in this rugged 21-20 victory. The four games with Cathedral, Dowling, Central , and Creighton returned the Lynx to the red-ink side of the ledger, but A. L. fans didn't lack excitement. Great ball-toting by Boham in the Cathedral game, Thomsen in the Dowling game, and Dunlop in the Central game combined to make each encounter a thriller. Stapleton, Messerli, Hodge, and Stuelke shouldered their defensive tasks especially well. Finally hitting the winning column again, the Lynx crew downed Corning, 13-0. A wellbalanced offense and defense completely baffled he Red Raiders. In their finale with Benson on November 8, A . L. dominated the first half, thanks to excellent running by Goodman and Gallagher and blocking by Everson and Sorensen . The picture reversed itself after intermission w ith the Bunnies storming back to crush any Lynx hopes. Tfie season ended with two wins and seven losses. Although Abraham Lincoln footballers fa i led to match · the 1951 eight-one record, a fierce fighting spirit was displayed in each game. 101 Coach Victor P.

The tota l sum of 139 broke the Inter-City record for the most points made in a game by both te ams. Before a packe d gym, A.

In addition to the multitude of after-hour tasks connected w ith regu lar classroom teaching, faculty members are assig ned certa in sponsorships - ex tra curr icul ar jobs to which they willingly give their time and effort beca use th ese so -c a lled " out side activities" ore as important as the classroom in rounding the character of a student. To emp ha size the variety o f ex tracurricula r su pervision, faculty pictures are grouped here according to sponsorship s. Facu lt y summaries - w hich include deg rees, univers ities attended, and subjects taught - a re l isted on th e p receding pages. Service Club Sponsors Chri stmas is a busy season for service club sponsors. There are the Y-Teen party for underprivi leged child ren, th e Junior Red Cross Christmas basket project, and the yearl y Hi-Y aid to the Good fellows. G o ing over co mmon problems are Leno White, Y-Teen sponsor; Agnes White, Junior Red Cross; Arthur Lee, Hi-Y; and Grace Thompson, Y-Teen. 9 Class Sponsors Language Club Sponsors M argaret Henderson, Latin Cl ub sponsor, and Lois Delk, Spanish Club, preview material on the opaque projector for use in their respective organizations.

Music Sponsors Sponsors of music groups not only train. students for public performance, but find themselves called on to perform frequently . Viola Bichel, Vocal Music Boord adviser, accompanies Elaine Sorensen, who sponsors string ensembles in their many contests. Horry Hilton listens and momentarily escapes a demanding sponsorship that ranges from bond concerts to pep rallies and parades. - Drama-Speech Sponsors As respective ploy and debate sponsors, Rhoda Godown and Horry Langdon go over schedules, ironing out conflicts and shaping their work to benefit the greatest number of students. Miss Godown is also new co-sponsor of the sophomore class; Mr. Langdon has the sponsorship of the Thespian Society. 11 Conferring here are practical arts men, Harold Stout and Edwin Reine!. Relieved of formal sponsorship because of a heavy teaching load, Mr. Stout nevertheless unofficial ly sponsors ambitious students by keeping daily ofter-school hours for those who wont to do extra work . M r. Reinel supervises on invaluable handyman group of boys in practical mechanics. Practical Arts Sponsors Sports Sponsors Grouped in front of one of the sports department's moneymakers, the popcorn machine, are three Lettermen's Club sponsors, Victor Jennings, Thomas Capel, and Vernon Doty. Joining them for a coke is Cleola Mansfield, w ho takes time out from a · practice of the Pep Club and the Cheerleaders, which she sponsors. 12 Literary Society Sponsors Before the school year is over, one of the major jobs for each literary society sponsor is that of handling the business end of a society play.

Nate didn't let down his well-wishers. He was active in debating, earning an enviable berth on the famous " triangu lar debate squad." He won the extempo semiflnals. He headed The Echoes, giving to the school paper its motto which continues to this day-" Echoing Vigorousl y, Justly, and without Prejudice." In the senior cl ass production, "Friend Hannah," he played a leading role. At commencement, he graduated with highest honors, as he also did four years later at Harvard. Nate's A. L. senior class picture and summary are reproduced at the left. (Pictures on this page and the one preceding we re reproduced from old annuals. Although prints of this kind give unsatisfactory results, the editors felt that the value of authentic pictures outweighed the disadvantage of poor reproduction .) 17 The Nathan Pusey Story When he was graduated from A. L. High School thirty years ago this June, Nathan Marsh Pusey (known locally as Nate) was singled out by his classmates and teachers as a brilliant boy with a promising future. His Abe Lynx instructors and schoolmates were right, for at forty-six young Pusey is president of Harvard University, the nation's oldest, richest, and proudest institution of higher learning. Chosen from a list of more than one hundred top educators, he is the first non-easterner Harvard hos e lected to its highest post in 316 years. Born April 4, 1907, in Council Bluffs, the new Harvard president is the son of the late John Morsb and Rosa Drake Pusey. His grandfather, also named Nathan, was on early Counci l Bluffs attorney and half-brother of William Pusey, long a prominent Council Bluffs banker, public official, and friend of Abraham Lincoln. A.P. Photo This family group shows Dr. and Mrs. Nathan Pusey and their children, Nathan, Jr., James, and Rosemary. 18 In speaking of h is Council Bluffs boyhood, Dr. Pusey recalled: " I grew up very hqppily despite the sudden loss of my father and received a good education in the Council Bluffs public schools, while Mother resumed her teaching to support the family. Although the years hove rushed by, I still remember many of my A. L. teachers as among the best instructors I have ever had, anywhere." Dr. Pusey, who spent his boyhood in the Lake Okoboji area as chauffeur and tutor and later worked in the Council Bluffs Savings Bank, will be no stranger on the Harvard campus. He took his undergraduate, graduate, and doctorate work- the re after earning a Perkins scholarship on graduation from A. L. In 1936, Dr. Pusey married Anne Woodward of Council Bluffs. He is the father of two sons, Nathan, Jr., James, and a daughter, Rosemary. A brother of Doctor Pusey , Maj. John Pusey, and a sister, Mrs. Esther Briggs, were also graduated from Abraham Linco ln. In 1944, when he was only 37, Dr. Pusey was elected as the tenth president of Lawrence College, Appleton, Wisconsin - the youngest college head in the country at the time. In his nine years at the Wisconsin school, he established himself as a gr.eat intellectual and moral leader. It is with pleasure that the staff of the 1954 Crimson and Blue dedicates this year's book to Dr. Nathan Pusey, A. L. graduate and educator, who in thirty years has progressed so rapidly up the administrative ladder that he now holds the top spot at the nation's most famous school, Harvard.

Football Bruce Miller Bob Miller Gary Eriksen Bob Collins Dick Gilmon Jerry Swanger Don Goodman Ray Messerli Bob Proctor Dean Stapleton Varsity Football Thirteen lettermen, led by Ke ith Ra pa lje, De a n Stapl eton, Ray Messerli, and Jerry Swanger, gave Abe Lincoln a su ccessfu l 1953 football season. In the season opener, Abraham Linco ln cruised past Shenandoah by a score of 31-0. Rapalje scored four touchdowns b e hind outstanding blocking by the line. A. L.'s footballers then turned the tables on Tech to crush them 21-13 after spotting them a 13-point lead. Messerli, Ropalje, and Hollinger led the Lynx past the favored Tech team. In the next game the Hilltoppers ran. w ild past T. J., their city rivals, 43-0, to claim the most decisive A. L. triumph ove r them in the city's long football history. With Swonger and Herd setting a bruising pace in the line, the game was never a contest. Abraham Lincoln rocked up their fourth straight victory the next week by defeating Omaha Cathedral, 28-7. Gallo made his boll-carrying debut by averaging 5 .6 yards per carry. The defensive ploy of the A. L. line could not be matched by Cathedral. The following week found Vic Jenning's boys at Benson to meet one of Glenn McKeighan Chuck Stevie Cooch Victor P. Jennings Lorry Hays Vernon Hodge Joe Fitch Dave Hollinger Steve Johnson Gory Jessen 68 the stronger teams in the intercity. After outplaying the Bunnies for nearly four quarters, the Lynx were forced to settle for a 7-7 deadlock as Benson scored in the last two minutes of the game. Creighton Prep, the number-one team in Nebraska, stood next on the list for the Abe Lynx gridmen. An overfllow crowd of 4,800 watched Prep shock A. L. 41-6 otter the Lynx held a 6-0 lead in the first quarter. The Hilltoppers then suffered their second straight loss at the hands of Omaha Central, 19-6. The Eagles presented a varied attack that got rolling in the second half to grab the victory after they were behind 6-0 at the half. In the season's gridiron windup, Abraham Lincoln traveled to Lincoln to play Northeast. The boys from A. L. rolled up a tremendous ground yardage to achieve victory by a score of 29-7. The play of Rapalje, Stapleton, Hodge, and Gilman was outstanding. The Crimson and Blue closed with a record of 5 wins, 2 losses, and a tie. A fighting team spirit and morale was shown in every game.

Se cond Te a ch Coach Thomas Capel -- Varsity Basketball What was said to be the toughest basketball schedule the Lynx have faced for years began with a 54-40 conquest over an experienced Iowa School for the Deaf team. Mark Thompson led the way with 25 points. The next week, Art Grell's last-minute basket and free-throw squeezed a neversay-die Lynx squad past Glenwood, 64-63. A. L. then sent Villisca home on the short end of a 43-28 score, sneaked by a strong Alumni crew, 51-48, and deflated Thomas Jefferson's spirits to the tune of 65-45. Thompson headed the scoring column in all of these games. Continuing on their victory march, the Lynx hoopsters walked by Creighton Prep, 43-36, aided by the clutch playing of Dick Gilman, and they followed this with a 55-47 win over Benson. A. L. fans relived the Glenwood contest as Tech fell 39-38, but then breathed easily as the Lynx raced past the Boys Town Cowboys, 60-36, as Thompson and Grell showed excellent form in their respective jobs of scoring and rebounding. In the next four games, the Lynx added more scalps to their growing collection. Onawa gave in, 63-47, as "marksman Mark" had his best night of the season with 30 points. Central fell victim by 64-50 as little Bill Cambron and Roger Berg showed their scoring abilities. North found themselves on the short end of a 39-33 score, and South was greeted with a 64-46 defeat. In the South game, rapidly-improving Jack Chapman filled the shoes of Mark Thompson, who had received an ankle injury in the North game, by dropping in 19 points. In the inauguratior:i of the new Thomas Jefferson fieldhouse, the Lynx played their role of guest poorly by defeating the Jeffs 45-39. History books were rewritten as the A. L. cagers made it 14 straight wins with a 48-44 victory over a strong Creighton crew. The old record was 13, set up by last year's team. Benson, playing terrific ball, stopped the Lynx streak at 14 by an impressive score of 60-45. Varsity Coach Thurman Johnson Second Team Coach Thomas Capel Mork Thompson Art Grell Jack Chapman Bill Cambron lorry Hays Dave Goecker Roger Berg Basketball Getting back into the victory swing, a determined Lynx crew crushed Tech 72-50 to the delight of the A. L. players' mothers, who were honored at this game. A. L. then set a new inter-city scoring mark by trouncing Central, 86-48, the old record being 83, set by last year's crew Dave Goecker and Thompson shared scoring honors with 24 points apiece. A. L. survived a late North threat, 44-41, as Gre.11 and Cambron potted the clutch points. T. J., for the third time this season, surrendered to the Lynx in a 49-47 thriller as Berg and Gilman provided the needed points in the final minute. This district championship game let A. L. move on to the sub-state tournament. For the second time in as many years, the Lynx reigned as inter-city champions by smashing South, 69-39, as Cambron scorched the nets for 22 points, followed closely by Thompson's 20. A. L. went into sub-state competition with a 19-1 record, the best that any of Coach Thurman Johnson's teams have ever achieved. The Lynx, boosted by Mark Thompson's 19 points, defeated Sioux City Heelan in their first sub-state game. This 62-56 triumph brought A. L. within one game of a return trip to Iowa City.

L. wrestling team enjoyed one of the most profitable and successful years in its history. Squad members won seven matches, while losing five in dual competition. Their victims were Audubon, twice; Thomas Jefferson, twice; North, twice; and Tech. They finished fourth in intercity competition. In addition to these meets, the Lyn x participated in three tournaments. They achieved fourth place in the team standings in the North Invitational Tournament, with Vernon Hodge the 145-pound champion and Mickey Rocha runner-up in the 133-pound class. Six A. L. gropplers won individual titles to lead the Lynx to their second straight District Championship. The District individual champions were: Dove Hollinger, l 12; Fronk Jerkovich, 120; Michey Rocha, 127; Duane Coleman, 133; Vernon Hodge, 145; and Ray Messerli, 154. These victories qualified them for the State Wrestling Tournament, held in Cedar Falls.

He was stricken with polio in the summer of 1952, but his cheerfulness and courage never waned in his untiring fight to regain the full use of his legs. Tom attended school by a telephone hookup during his freshman year at Bloomer. On his return to regular classes, Tom maintained a four-A average and was elected sophomore president at Abraham Lincoln High School. His quick wit and ready laughter are silenced, but they will remain enshrined in our memories. Tom Smith Spring Semester Officers Alpha ...... .. . . Katharine Bruce . Lucille Larsen ..

Grace Taylor It is with a sincere feeling of gratitude and appreciation for her twenty-eight years of service at Abraham Lincoln High School that the 1955 Crimson and Blue staff dedicates this annual to Miss E. Grace Taylor. To all those who have loved and revered Miss Taylor throu.gh the years, these few words can only inadequately describe the person she is, or measure in any way her contribution to education and culture. Miss Taylor's broad interests recognize no confines, 4 and because of her innate graciousness and generosity, her knowledge has become the inspiration for countless lives that came within her sphere of teaching. Many names appear on A. L.'s roster of the past, but there will always be only one Grac·e Taylor. Both the faculty and the student body join in the deep hope that her future will be filled with only the good things in life as partial payment for what she has so unselfishly and lovingly done for others. • .

Stue lke attac ks a pi le of administrative bull etins before turning them ave r ta the fac ulty fa r pe rusal. "Before each school year begins, one of my first jobs is to prepare a complete schedule or calendar of events at A. L. for administration and faculty use. Although some of the dates are always subject to change, I believe that including representative excerpts from this program in the 1955 annual will be in keeping with the book' s "calendar" theme and that they will serve many years hence as a reminder of pleasant memories of a typical year at Abraham Lincoln."

Making money with music, the st udent council throws a mid-winter dance to finance the many yeor-'round projects sponsored by the council. Cooch Johnson and his cagers swap court ploy for horseplay to swe ll school spirit for on early-season game. As familiar as Santo Claus is this pre-holiday scene in the cafeteria .. Girls of all IHerary societies work together to make the Christmas tea a memorable high point of the school year. Late in May, students d ig out their yearbook receipts and present them for their copies of the annual. "Horsing around" are these costumed girls in the '54 gym pageant.

Since that time, this society has become one of the most active in school. The purpose of the organization is to provide recognition for those who have done outstanding work in dramatic productions. Two initiations are held a nnua lly for students who have earned enough points to q ualify for installation. The points awarded are set by the national chapter. Annually the troop offers an award to the most outstanding actor and actress at Abraham Lincoln High School. 71 Officers President ------------------- Bill Ballenge r Vice-Preside nt ___ - ----- -------- Tom Bolton Secretory ------ -------·- - --- Don Danford Trea surer ------ -------------- Terry Jasper Sponsor ___ _______ __ ____ Mr. Horry Lang don Featurette The Art Department A.L. students take the first step in the art of lithography and draw a picture on stone. These beginners learn the inking procedure. A hand-press completes the lithe· graph ic process. Abraham Lincoln High School's art department, under the direction of Miss Berniece Poh I, offers a variety of interesting and attractive courses. One of the newest is lithography, a process requiring a great deal of skill on the part of the student. There are three major steps, accordiAg to Miss Pohl. The first, that of putting a design on stone with a lithographic crayon, is novel enough to appeal instantly to teen-agers. Once the picture is drawn, it is treated with various '· ., substances, washed, and sponged. The next step is that of inking with a rol ler, the ink clinging to greasy deposits made by the crayon. The final step is to run the inked stone with dampened paper through a hand-press, a method which demands intricate timing and precision. When the printing is through, the studentartist is the proud possessor of a beautiful picture and a new and satisfying hobby. Lynx stude nts admire the results of on old a rt tha t is new and fascinating to the m. Featurette The Library Two student clerical assistants type cards for new books and fil e them in the card catalog ue. They perform other duties, too, that e nabl e Miss Miller, librarian, to make new books available as quickly as possible. 73 Unde r Miss Lucy Mill er's d irection, a staff of student librarians re nde r a va luable service to the school by he lping in library duties. When not assisting other students, the girls slip and she lve retu rned books. Busy much of the time checking out books, stude nt librarians contribute importa ntly in ma king the school library a desirable place for study and reading.

Band A major part of extracurricular activities for fifty A.L. students is the band, directed by an enthusiastic newcomer, Mr. Rex llgenfritz. As with athletics, teamwork is absolutely necessary in music. Band members, through participation in both concert performance and marching band, learn how to work with others and d iscover the rewards of combined effort. Individual work for the student, however, is not neglected by Director llgenfritz. When the time comes for solos, stress is placed on memorization; perseverance, concentration, and self-reliance are deve loped through hours of individua I practice. Members of the Abraham Lincoln band profit by more than the immediate benefits of their experience, for their enriching love of music and their practical knowledge of getting along with people wi ll be an advantage all through their lives.

H.S. involve a considerable amount of higher learning. Few of them, however, are accepted with so much enthusiasm as that of being in the orchestra. Directed by M iss Elaine Sorensen, this group is composed of only the better of more than seventyfive A.L. instrumentalists. Since the musical selections are usually of a classical nature, they demand of the student both skill and dexterity. The pleasure and knowledge reaped from playing in the Abraham Lincoln orchestra suffice for all the work put into it, according to the students.

Rookie-looking at th e start, these A.L. cadets will shape up amazingly before the end of autumn . First among mony jobs at the beginning of the school year is that of getting the men into uniform. Dove Taylor, John Winch este r, and Virgil Watson check out clothing supplies from M/ Sgt. Liiiey. Winter Program During three yea rs of cadet life, the R.O.T.C. boy at A. L. participates in a varied program that includes weapons, marksmanship, map reading, and many other subjects in addition to drill and marching. If the cadet w ishes to put in extra time and can qualify, activities such as color guard, rifle squad, and the new honor platoon are open to him. Each season-fall, w inter, and spring-adds to the further development of the R.0.T.C. cadet in useful citizenship. R.O.T.C. Left: With cold weather, much R.O.T.C. activity moves indoors.

Francis Gallo McKeighon Moss B. Mille r Stevie Storey Assistant Cooch Tom Cope l Football Abraham Lincoln opened it~ football season by crushing Omaha Cathedral 32-12. Cragmile's passing and McKeighan's receiving were outstanding. Outweighed tw enty-three pounds to the man by Tech, the Lynx handed the Maroons their worst defeat of the season at the hands of an intercity rival. They routed them 31 - 13 in a game featured by the fine play of the fast-charging A. L. line. Jennings' crew shut out Thomas Jefferson 26-0 for their third straight v ictory. Individ ual stars in this game were Hol linger and G oodman in the backfield and Gilman on the line. A fast-moving Benson team stunned the Hilltoppers 26-6 for the season's first defeat. Despite this, Goodman, Gilman, and M iller showed up well against the Bunnies. The second defeat was not long in coming. A splendid Prep team, who eventually became intercity champions, did it 27-0. The fina l score in no way indicated the top-flight ball played by the Crimson and Blue. The tea m's d efensive work, especially during the first half, received favorable comment from local sports writers. The Lynx struck bock ot Centra l the following week, 31 - 13, after the Eagles had taken a thirteen-point lead at the half. Cragmi le and Gilman sparked the secondhalf comeback. In the final game of the season, A. L. outscored South in a 26-19 thriller. After the lead had cha nged ha nds four times, Johnstone's touchdown, run behind excellent blocking, d ecided the contest. Abraham Lincoln finished the season tak ing third place in the Intercity race with a record of 5 wins and 2 losses. Second Team Row 1: La ra, Paffenbarger, Huebner, Stipp, Swanger, Hallinger.

Miller, fo rmer photograph ic adviser o f the Crimson and Blue. Below, left: Hazel Street and Lindbergh Drive, fa milia r names to Mr. Miller, intersect near his former home to offer a fa vorite view out over the woods and bluffs. Below, right : Countless times during his teaching career at A. L., Mr. ~il r paused at this window in his classroom for the msp1nng view beyond the roof of the gym. Whenever a job called for unusual and almost unlimited abilities, Mr. Virgil Miller, former physics instructor, was often asked to take over. Whether the requirement was an additional algebra class, a pinch-hitting job in general science, or supervising athletic finances, Mr. Miller would do the assignment competently and willingly. His busy years at Abraham Lincoln also encompassed such varied sponsorships as the Philo Boys' Literary Society, junior and senior classes, the National Honor Society, and one of his favorite activities-the Camera Club. Because of his extensive knowledge of the camera, Mr. Miller was many years an invaluable photographic adviser for our school annual. And it is especially for this service that the 1957 Crimson and Blue salutes him. Once, when yearbook editors complained that our school campus had little worthy of photography, Mr. Miller remarked , "Take your cameras and go out in the town. The city is our campus. That was as splendid a suggestion then as it is today. So we have endeavo red this year to photograph some of our "city campus" ; and we affectionately dedicate these pag es to a g reat, lovable, and very understanding teacher and man-Mr. Miller. 4 the city HThe city is our campus ...

A graduate of Council Bluffs High School, Mrs. Downs spent her entire teaching career in the building that later became Abraham Lincoln High School. During her years at A. 1., she saw many changes take place. Among them, the whole east section of the building was added, Kirn Athletic Field was made a reality, and the gymnasium was constructed. Mrs. Downs recalled with amusement that years ago gym classes were held in the cafe, the girls wearing big bloomers and long, thick stockings; shades were discreetly drawn when the gym classes were in session. While Mrs. Downs taught at A. 1., she served under six principals, watched the teaching staff double, and saw pupil enrollment range as low as 600 and as high as 1400. The main characteristics of a truly fine teacher all applied to Mrs. Downs. No other A. 1. teacher ever worked harder, maintained higher standards, or proved more helpful to students and fellow faculty members. In appreciation of a loyal teacher who of ten said she "would rather teach than do anything else," Abraham Lincoln High School thanks Mrs. Downs for her faithful service and wishes her a retirement of happiness. -Condensed from a toast given by Miss Lena White 16 In . . apprec1at1on "May God give us time to enjoy Those so precious, lovely years, Next to those who give us joy, t Free . t JJ rom worries, want or ears. -From .. Retirement" Another guest singled out for special honors at the faculty di nner is Miss Lena White. One of A . L 's most unforgettable teachers, Miss Lena White, retired last June after dedicating twenty-eight years of her life to the classroom and club activities of our school. Miss White taught comme rcial subj ects and spo nsored the Y-Teens, she and her co-sponsors building up the Y-Teen organization until it has become an outstanding club in social service. Miss White was a "twin" in residence and civic and church participation . Her own home in Woodbine meant an important part in that town 's life ; but she was just as loyal a citizen of Council Bluffs, with active membership in her church guild here and in professional clubs. Everyone who knew Miss White or worked with her attests to her loyal devotion to her pupils, friends, and many activities. She did everything well with a warm and sincere interest endearing her to all. To Miss White, then, we exp ress a deep appreciation of her valued service, a service of high ideals and high standards that did so much to better our school and community. It takes all kinds to make a city, as it takes all classes to make a school. 17 18 The enjoyable and eventful years of high school have now ended for the Class of '57. Yet the past four years will continue to live in the minds and hearts of the graduates. This year's senior class has reason to look back proudly on its record of scholastic and social achievements. Athletics, debate, prose and poetry, dramatics, clubs, societies, music, and R.O.T.C. would all have lacked much without their senior members. Graduating seniors have watched commencements come and go; now, as they take their places on the alumni roll, it is with confidence that they know the Class of '57 will be remembered as one of the outstanding classes of Abraham Lincoln High School.

JUNIOR CLASS OF 1957 Sel ecting the official class ring is no simple job. Befo re making a decision, the ring committee of the junior class and advisers inspect many sampl es exhibited by representatives of the different companies. One of the most active times in high school 1s the junior year. This was especially true at A. L. during the school year when juniors actively participated in debate, sports, the Junior Red Cross Council, Student Council, and literary societies. The juniors " first big project was the class play, "The Man Who Came to Dinner." Thirty-six juniors combined their talents to help make this play an outstanding success. In November, all thoughts turned to class elections. The juniors waged a vigorous campaign.. Later in November the newly-elected officers organized the class into functioning committees. The final event was the Junior-Senior Prom held in May at the Chieftain Hotel. This was a gala ending to an exciting and eventful year. 41 First row: Booth , E. Barnes, Ahrens, Adkins, A .

L. , both scholastic and extracurricular, felt the effects of the sophomore class of '5 7. The honor roll saw many of the "sophs" this year; and the "Baby Lynx" basketball squad made the class proud of its athletes. The music department and litera ry societies would certainly have lacked something without the sophomores, too. During '58, as juniors, and the next year as seniors, this year's sophomores will continue to grow and improve, making the graduating class of 1959 one which will not be forgotten. 49 First row: Boehm, R.

With its goal as " the biggest and best" ever to enter A. L., the freshman class quickly assumed its responsibilities in the school's program. These included taking an active part in the magazine sale, helping to put over the Junior Red Cross membership drive, and contributing generously in work and food to the Christmas basket distribution. Nor did the freshmen lag in class work, for " to be the best" meant acquiring a good solid foundation in the academic subjects. 57 First row: Bell, Allensworth, Ballantyne, Campbell, Adkins, J anet Busboom, Jean Busboom, Ambrose.

Purchasing a strange, tumbled-down inn near the ocean, she not only finds interesting people but also a good deal more. Under the hotel's roof are a bootlegger, complete with a cellar full of liquor, an F.B.I. agent, a budding romance, two brutal kidnappers, the kidnapped, and two warm cadavers. The turmoil is only subdued through the efforts of hypodermic need les, an amateur sleuth, head-conking, and two small town policemen. Surprisingly enough, the imperturbable librarian emerges in the end none the worse for her extraordinary experiences. First row: Falken, Leighton, Hemmingsen, Montoya.

Standouts were the battles with T. J., Central, Cathedral, and Corning. In the T. J. game on September 28, the hilltoppers led, but the Yellowjackets came from behind to defeat the east-end team by a score of 14-2. Hope again flared for Lynx fans with Coach Jennings's boys against Central on October 5; the Eagles, however, outpaced the Lynx in the last half and won 33-13. October 26 brought Cathedral to A. L. for the Homecoming game. A spirited varsity smothered the Cardinals 25-0. Again in the Corning game on November 9, the aggressive Lynx.fought a valiant two-touchdown battle, only to go down to defeat by a score of 20-1 3. With nine lettermen returning next fall, it is expected that the experience gained this year will put A. L. in the "win" column on next season's. scoreboard. 119 First row: Black, J.

Why do we dedicate the 1960 CRIMSON AND BLUE to the INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT OF COUNCIL BLUFFS? BECAUSE your support, through the years, has made possible the oustanding educational opportunities that our youth have today. BECAUSE your vision and plans for the future promise to bring even greater opportunities to our community. BECAUSE you were there when we needed you most, we give to you the most precious gift we have to offer .. . the dedication of a year of work, a year of memories. THE INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT OF COUNCIL BLUFFS, we DEDICATE our yearbook to you. Miss Marian Hanthorn, who retired in 1959, was for many years a teacher in the homemaking department. Under her direction the department was modernized and the Betty Crocker Homemaking Contest was introduced. She also supervised the planning of menus for the cafeteria and sponsored the Omega Literary Society. In many ways Abraham Lincoln High School is Miss Hanthorn's school. She was graduated from A.L., went to college and earned a bachelor of science degree, and then returned to teach in the school. We take this opportunity to express our APPRECIATION to Miss Hanthorn for her many years of faithful service to Abraham Lincoln. "The reward of a thing well done is to have done it." ...

Under this leadership a solution to the community's educational problems is sought, and steps are being taken that promise to give the youth of this city better educational opportunities. Mr. Mourer is a tireless and patient worker who has. shown himself to be guided by high ideals. II 12 , , J Mr. Raymond W.

He has the confidence and respect of those who know him, and this is especially true in the professin:r: that he serves. He is friendly, sympathetic, fair, and congenial. Principal W. W. Owen in two short years has won the students' highest respect and serves as an inspiration to all. Roy F. Lawson, Vice-Principal, is the man who keeps the wheels turning, always working for the betterment of the student. Merle Lesher, Guidance Counselor, not only assists students in choosing a vocation, but directs them in planning for future education. 13 14 DEAN OF GIRl.S Martha Schmidt , , , It rakes a tremendous amount of work to make the wheels go 'rowid and keep things running smoothly. The deans spend many hours counseling the students of our high school.

DEAN OF BOYS Gerald Ross Mrs. Boyd F. Walker Mrs. Rae J. Williams Mrs. Curtis Maher Checking the records and requirements for graduation, and keeping records for different offices and organizations are duties capably handled by our registrar, Mrs. Walker.

Keeping an accurate record of all the money received and dispensed is one of the big jobs handled effectively by our treasurer, Mrs. Williams. Both the students and the faculty are indebted to this fine team of office workers who do so much for all of us. Viola Bichel, B.A., M.A. Glee, Clwir Gordon K.

ADS AND SNAPS 1 I . 9 { 6 1 2 - - ~ 4 FOREWORD Although the school year has ended, we pause to catch a final glimpse of the happiness and the friends we've had. Fun and work, worry and wonder have all taken their places in another memorable year at Abraham Linco ln High School. This 1961 CRIMSON AND BLUE is yours. You made it; we preserved it through word and picture. Ron Phill ips Senior Class President RON PHILLIPS President Class of 1961 ROY A. LAWSON A ssistant Principal DEDICATION MR. ROY LAW SON has served Abraham Linco ln High School in t he capacity of teacher, coach, and assistant principal since 19 29. Before becoming assistant principal in 1957, he served as Biology and General Science instructor. He also coached w inning basketball and football tea ms wh ich are still well remembered. His devotion to the training and g uidance of young people and his concern for their needs is indicated by the innumerable long ho urs spent in their behalf . W e know Mr. Lawson expects no reward ! However, w e dedicate our 196 l CRIM SON A ND BLU E to you, M r. Lawson, as an everlasting "thank you" to the man who rightf ully deserves this honor! THE ANNUAL STAFF 5 6 MEMORIES 'Twixt the pages of this book we'll glance, When reminiscing, we are by chance; We'll think of the sorrows-we' ll think of the fun, And remember A.L. as the best friend e'er won. As the pace of the world grows increasingly faster, We'll think back to those subjects we tried to ma ster. And also we'll think of our friends and teachers, Who surely thought we w ere quite some creatures! The plays with their actors and actresses many, To get much better you couldn't find any. Comedies, tragedies, love stories and suchBut they still seem to have left a wonderful touch. In sports too, of course, we were quite the thing. Ballads of our victories, you could easily sing . Basketball-baseball-football and trackThey make us want to rush hurriedly back . We can never forget those little white cards, Which sometimes caused our parents to be jarred. These we received throughout the whole year; Looking at them was like looking in a mirror. The ROTC was our own little army; Preparing to protect us over land and sea . With sergeants, privates, lieutenants and others, We worked together just like real brothers. There w as one occasion held dear to each heart; With memories of this we'll just never part. When this date rolled around, not a person was calm; Why-how could anyone forget the prom? Although life in A.L. w as a three-ring circus, Sometimes we truly thought they overworked us. Each day brought a new and different act; The memories of school a mile high are stacked . What we've learned here will determine our future; To be something great or just another "moocher." It may also, of cou rse, make us a b igger success. That we really liked school, we must confess! -MARTY BOEHME Class of '61 1 •·' j I ~" ' j ,\ ·'' -- . . . . ~ .. ~ .J .. ,.• ..... . .

A rnold Christensen fo r his leadersh ip as President of the Council Bluffs School Bo ard from March , 19 5 9 until Ju ly, 1960, at which time he was killed in a he licopter crash . As a 1934 Abra h am Lincoln graduao'te , he was a n e xamp le of the ty pe of successful man who rece ives h is education in Abraham Lincoln High School. W e are grateful to him for the immeasu rabl e contribution he made to our education. W.W. OWENS Principal Abraham Lincoln High School Congratulations to the Abraham Lincoln High School seniors of 1961 . You are ready to take your places in the adult w orld as builders of America. Some of the things we have done are beyond comparison, and some are not worthy of any generation. To students who have not completed their high school ex periences, should like to offer a word of encouragement. The record you make at Abraham Lincoln is yours; we just keep it for you. You can not afford to be anything less than a lady or a gentleman. We can help you to be happy and successful if you are certain to make the most of your opportun ities . Sincerely, W.W. O w en 9 DEAN OF WOMEN Lucile Hoffman GUIDANCE COUNSELOR Merle Lesher REGISTRAR Mrs. Boyd Walker Hats Off to These Folks! Here are the folks who work in the offices of our school. Merle Leshe r, Guidance Counselor, assists students in planning their courses and vocations. The Deans, Lucile Hoffman, and Gerald Ross, spend hours encouraging, reprimanding, and advising students on present-day difficulties. All three of these folks compose the Guidance Department of our school. But let's not forge t the fa culty members who act as guidance counselors! This quartet of congenial office ladies keeps the records for us. And they perform numerous kindnesses ove r and above the call of duty . Students and faculty membe rs will long remembe r this team of women who had a deep concern for every problem which crosse d the ir d esks. Sincere thanks from the stude nt body . SECRETARY Mrs. Curtis Mahe r TREASURER Mrs. Rae Willi ams DEAN OF MEN G e rald Ross GUIDANCE SECRETARY M Norma n Cha rles rs. The Vocal Music Department is indebted to MRS. VIOLA BICHEL for her boundless energy. She has created numerous small vocal groups so as to give more students specialized training. Her music groups appear in the city on innumerable occasions. St. John's Lutheran Church ·is lucky to have her as choir director. Here is a "gal" who operates in double time! Learning Can Be Fun! Known only as "Rex" to all his students, we raise a baton in a a top salute to MR. ILGENFRITZ. Here is an instructor with endless enthusiasm to make his band the best in the State of Iowa. Summer finds Rex at his concession stand at Lake Manawa. "Shhh"-is the motto of our librarian, LUCY MILLER. We are sure Miss Miller knows something about all those hundreds of books in our library-especially does she know w hen one is missing. She sponsors the Library Club composed of all student libra rians. This year she was blessed with a secretary, Mrs. Norma Heaton . JOHN CROOKHAM played football for A.L. in 1949 and now he coaches the Lyn x himself. This was a dream come true! Another dream w hich came true in '60 was beating T.J. on our field . Mr. Crookham takes "tranquilizers" each morning! Who wouldn 't with neophyte women drivers!?!? ERVA HUCKLEEBERRY loves a challenge. So -she tackled the yearbook this year! To stay out of a rut, try new things is part of her philosophy. Practicing w hat she preaches, she has taken voca l lessons, dancing lessons, canasta lessons, bowling lessons and swimming lessons-a ll in the la st five years! She teaches Algebra in the winter and waits tables in Colorado in the summer. Here's a versatile "Miss" who has been missed! 12 Our Faculty Teaches If you peek behind the stage, you will see SETH HILLS, Freshman English teacher, with hammer in hand building stage sets. (He says he is going to sign up with the Grande Olde Opery next!) First Presbyterian claims him as organist. Like the students, he looks forward to summer! Europehere comes Hills! ---- ii I Us to Live. A former Freshman English teacher, BIANCA McCOMB now teaches Senior English Literature classes. Seniors anticipate the bright "posie" she wears almost every day. Did you know she has a score of beautiful oil paintings in her home-all products of her own brush? She has followed in the footsteps of her father, John McComb, who taught math at A.L. in 1917 and 1918. WILLIAM CROZIER, better known as "Wild Bill," is one of our favorite English and history teachers. A widely read indiv idual, Mr. Crozier coaches the debate squad. He and his wife, Selma, (an A.L. graduate) have a family of four sons. When history and fairy tales become entangled, one of Mr. Crozier's favorite sayings is, "Run out and play in the traffic, boys!" One of the most respected members of the faculty is HERBERT LITTLE, our beloved Chemistry teacher. His strictness in class is overshadowed by his sincere interest in his students. We loved his "devilish" sense of humor in preparing semester test "unknowns." Mr. Little, the inventor and distributor of "Herbie's Hand Cream," is often heard pleading with his classes, "Pleeezzzz add the acid to the water as ya oughter!!" Keeping informed on the latest building methods is only one of seve ral jobs performed by drafting instructor, ED REIN EL. We positive ly would fall to p ieces he re and the re if it we ren't for Mr. Reine! and his Practical Mechan ics class and the ir re pairing ,r tactics. Kin de rgarte n children at Madison School are rea l lucky to have Mrs. Reine! as a teacher while A. L. boys are fortunate to have such a practica l instructor. 14 Classes Occur With Nicknamed "Chuck" by his fans at A.L., CHARLES GREENWOOD teaches Bookkeeping and Business Law. During the summer, he is the life-guard at the Elks' Club and "rescues" all the senior girls! He and his wife are the proud parents of two small sons -both future basketba ll stars. As sponsor of the Record Club, he is our up-to-the-min ute disc jockey. History lives again as MRS. GRACE THOMPSON conducts her American History classes. Mrs. Thompson knows her stuff and therefore you know yours too- or else! The Y-Teens are a strong service group under the co-sponsorship of Mrs. Thompson . J, Frightening Regularity! JOHN SPRUGEL is the "Father of Agriculture" at A.L. He created the Agriculture Department in the "Ag Annex " in 1952 when he joined the faculty. The Sprugels have an up-and-coming 4-H winner in their little son, Mark. Mr. Sprugel sponsors the FFA which has won many honors for A.L. H. ARTHUR LEE is very proud of the new press which is used to publish "The Echoes." Teacher of Journalism and English and sponsor of the Hi-Y, M r. Lee has scores of student friends in Council Bluffs. His favorite possessio n is his home where he pursues his hobby- reading. The new Metal Shop instructor, MAXWELL GREEN, is a graduate of SUI. His hobbies are sw imming, photography, and dancing. He wants students to be honest and ambitious. And get this-he's sing le! Say, There Are Only Students have many enjoyable (and frustrating!) hours in Room 101 as they learn to type under THURMAN JOHNSON'S exacting instruction. It is well known that sco res of boys in past years have given their "all" for Coach Johnson and basketball as members of A.L. teams. We are right proud to have such a fine man as Coach! To teach one's first year at A.L. is an education in itself, according to RICHARD SCHOEPPNER. Social studies classes have real life especially when Mr. Schoeppner tells about his travels to the Orient. What we wonder is what Mr. Schoeppner sees so fascinating about 7th periods! Enjoyable hours at home include his wife, Joyce, and son, Ricky. If you fish or hunt, get acquainted with EDWARD SANDERS, a new-comer to the A.L. faculty. Mr. Sanders looks for initiative, trustworthiness, and neatness in his students. "Neatness" is the key word in his Bookkeeping classes. 24 Hours in a Day! "I spend the greater part of my life chasing decimal points," declares MRS. MARTHA SCHMIDT, teacher of Bookkeeping and Business Machines. Mrs. Schmidt and her students~ are headquarters for all mimeographed material used in the high school. One of her biggest jobs is the printing of the PT A Yearbook. She co-sponsors the National Honor Society with Mr. Little. A home on Midland Drive is the pride and joy of Mrs. Schmidt and her husband, Everett. Those of you who have taken Geometry under LELA KETTER will remember her "little box" long after your Geometry has been forgotten . Remember how the "lucky" number determined who was to recite? Students now and in years gone by, hold Miss Ketter and her little box in deepest regard. Her student friends, home from the universities and colleges, thank her for the fine math foundation they received in her classes. We think Miss Ketter is "tops" as a teacher and we cherish her "witty" moments! We envy MRS. MARVINA KINNEY who can enjoy a 30-mile drive through the country from Macedon ia each morning. (But she can have it on an icy day!) As a ministe r's wife and the mother of four children, she leads a busy life. She has one daughter, Marcia, in A.L. now. Marcia will graduate in the class of 1962. Although Mrs. Kinne y has to ns of Junior Eng lish pape rs to read, she still finds a few spare minutes to read for fun! If It Weren't For Julius Caesar and his famous campaigns come alive again as you step into the Latin Room with MARGARET HENDERSON. Struggles with declensions and conjugations are forgotten when programs and "eats" are enjoyed at Latin Club meetings which she sponsors. "Making superior future secretaries" is one of the goals of MRS. PHYLLIS WICHMAN in her Shorthand classes. She 1 and her husband Da rold (an A.L. grad and an insurance salesman) enjoy many happy hours in their new home on Tra il Ridge. You can tell from the picture that little Cindy completes this happy trio . Mrs. Wichman co-sponsors the Y-Teens. 18 Algebra and Geometry mixed with congen iality is the formula practiced by WILLIAM SIPES. He likes to go off on a tangent to talk over a school problem in class. Students love these tangents! His favorite food is pizza and his favorite sport is basketball. In December he and his wife, Nancy, acquired a new "favorite" in their first child. They selected the name, Kelley Madge, for their new little daughter. JL ___ _ Holidays - Boy! MRS. JUANITA ESCHMANN is "very definitely" on the beam in her history classes. Students must study I ike the dickens, but the history sticks. Come summer, Mrs. Eschmann supervises summer school in Council Bluffs when she also teaches the social studies classes and some English classes. While having a coke in the cafeteria, MRS. PATRICIA HALBUR (our Miss Brooks) and MARY JO DUGAN than MRS. LUCILE HOFFMAN for the help given them by her Future Teachers. All three ladies, English teachers, are interested in dramatic activities in the school. Mrs. Hoffman directs the plays and the road show. Miss Dugan sponsors the Thespian and Dramatics clubs. The Future Nurses, sponsored by Mrs. Halbur, give a helping hand at local hospitals. "I'm not too sure," RONALD BROOKS admits to GARY BRINTON as he explains a difficult lab experiment his Physics classes have just complr:?ted . Mr. Brooks is in charge of the public address system at Kirn Field, and enjoys the job tremendously because he feels every school should be a "football " school. Mr. Brinton played football in high school also and his hobby is electronics. A graduate of Missouri U, he is new in the math and science depa rtments this year. A.L. Is a Real(?). Experience Every morning at 6:20 a.m. MRS. GLORIA SINNETT boards the first of three buses which she must take to get to A.L. each day. This accounts for her being so wide awake and cheery when she arrives. Students in her Shorthand classes notice the atmosphere of sincerity, honesty and ambition which she creates. With a sparkling smile all through the day, she returns home to her hobbies-cooking and gardening. As she says, "My husband and I both like to eat. That's ~vident!" And they garden together in the summer. "Chihuahua!" If you had TOM LARA for Biology or Spanish, you are familiar with this expression . Senor Lara, sponsor of the Spanish Club and head wrestling coach, claims his bench saw as his favorite possession. He is training his son, Justin, to be the next light-weight champion of the world . Pictured with Mr. Lara is HERLUF CHRISTENSEN, General Science instructor. "Chris" is a pleasant addition to the staff. After being an insurance salesman, he decided to return to the fun of the classroom for '60-'6 l. The year '60-'6 l was a year of "firsts" for BERNARD SCHENKELBERG. It was his first year of teaching. And he became the father of a son-his first child . He sponsored the German Club where he was Scrabble Champ. Pictured here also is DALLAS HEMENWAY, teacher of English and Economics. Mr. Hemenway stresses good vocabulary in his classes. He enjoys his position as assistant wrestling coach since he is a former boxer. = For New Teachers! "Woody" reminds us of woodpeckers; woodpeckers remind us of Biology and Biology reminds us of WOODROW (Woody) CLARKE. Although Woody has taught at A.L. just a few years, he has endeared himself to his students. He believes that the greatest virtue a student can possess is to do his own work. (The students think that this is just a crock of cough drops!) The Jun ior Red Cross carries out its own aims under the sponsorship of Mr. Clarke. Uncle Don (DON THOMAS) is one of A.L's All-American coaches. A group of girls with "Uncle Don" in the middle means another fund-raising project. Jersey nighties-and then what!? His yellow "rag-top" convertible is a familiar "bush" at the familiar places. The varied Girls' Physical Education program in A.L. is the product .of MRS. CLEO LA TAYLOR'S ingenuity. Getting along with over 700 girls and their "temperaments" is no small feat plus teaching them to dance, bowl, and swim. Besides being a busy homemaker, she sponsors the Cheerleaders, the GAA and a "struggli ng" Pep Club. Each Class Reflects the The picture man, WALTER KALTENBORN, has charge of all audio-visual equipment and has trained all the operators. He sponsors the Camera Club also. All films which are shown at A.L. are ordered by him. As Government and Modern Problems insi,-uctor, he keeps his classes up to the minute on national affa irs. Take it from us-Walt is really AWAKE when it comes to golf and tennis wh ich he coaches. Here we caught LU JOHNSON, our school nurse, playing cards with her sorority sisters. Mrs. Johnson now spends three days each week in A .L. which is a vast improvement over previous years. HAROLD STOUT'S favorite hobby is raising and training prize dogs for hunting . He has even moved to the country so as to have more room for his "buddies." Mr. Stout has been woodworking instructor at A.L. for many years. He has been using his skill on his own farm home which he and his wife acquired a year ago. As Mr. Stout puts it: " Ethel raises the chickens and I raise dogs and sheep. We're the 'Farmer Stouts' now!" Teacher's Personality New ideas in American Literature unfolded for all Juniors in ROBERT BROWN'S classes. We will always remember his room as the most attractive in the whole building with its plants and bulletin boards. Dictated assignments (plus punctuation points!) are synonymous with Mr. Brown. Sophomores found their Biology classes v ery interesting with EDWARD FLANNERY as their teacher. He is kept busy each year tracking down his pet snakes which are always somehow "escaping." However, he still had time to "catch" Charlene, a pretty Walnut Grove teacher, and tOf" make her his wife in the summer of '60. ' A former elementary teacher at Dodge, WILLIAM SCHMIDT joined t he A.L. faculty for '60-'61. A g raduate of Omaha University, M r. Schmidt hails from Chicago orig inally. He likes his students to hav e an open mind which he then challenges w ith a w ealth of inform atio n . Study Halls . • . Help!! A happy team this year in the Homemaking Department has been EDNA WILLARD and MRS. MYRTHEL LARSEN. Miss Willard as sewing instructor and Mrs. Larsen as cooking instructor attend a seminar each fall in Ames, Iowa, so as to make sure the most modern methods are taught in their classes. ·These teachers visit the home of each one of their students in the summer. A good idea, don't you think. Many a Sophomore English student has learned how to handle commas and semicolons under the able teaching of FAYE MARTY. Brightly decorated bulletin boards catch your eye in her room. Miss Marty adds the final English polish to Senior secretaries with her Business English course . The ROSSES are pictured in the living room of their new home. They have _a million-dollar view from their picture window which they will trade with no one! We will remember Mrs. Ross as a "pretty picture" among the beautiful ferns in her room . As Art instructor and sponsor of the Art Club, she has inspired many students with sparks of talent. Mr. Ross sponsors the DECA organization as head of the Distributive Education Department. We appreciate Mr. Ross's coun.seling as Dean of Men and his supervision of the business organization of all athletic events of the year. Hats off to a real team! 24 J Thanks To You - MRS. AGNES BOOTON, MRS. MARY FOCHT, MRS. LESLIE VUAGNIAUX, MRS. EMMA BEBENSEE and MRS. CAMILLE KILKENNEY worked hard all year to prepare "surprise" lunches for us each week. They are to be congratulated upon their congeniality while working with such out-dated equipment. Our own Zola! We all know ZOLA FALK by her friendly smile . We thank her for helping us whenever and wherever we need her! And we are especially grateful to her for "just putting up with us and our silliness." Head Custodian, STANLEY PIETRZAK, (second from the left), and his ass istants, LESLIE HANDLEN, GEORGE FOSTER and LEWIS TRIPP (left to right) perform the giant task of keeping the school building, gym, and field ready for use the yea r 'round. JOHN DINOVO, the night man, is missing from the picture. I I I SENIORS JUNIORS I SOPHOMORES FRESHMEN 19 6 j 1 I 26 ~ - - \ I I \ ' JOEL ADAMSON (Joe) DREAM : I don't have dreams; I have nightmares!

For several weeks it was a quarreling, hair-pulling, tongue-lashing 6th period, with none of us getting our way and all of us losing sleep. However, cooperation and anticipation coupled w ith enthusiasm finally smoothed the pathway for a yearbook w hich we "dared to make different." Out of a tangled maze of plans, pictures, and names has grown a memory book that will keep our school days alive forever. We hope that you feel the animation within the covers of your book. Spirit, movement, and naturalness have been our theme. Did you catch the spirit? If you did, our yearbook is the success we anticipated for you!

Classes Senior Activities Ads 4 Foreword It is the aspiration of every Year book Staff to present a yearbook of outstanding quality to the student body. To produce this yearbook has required not only our talent, but our efforts, cooperation, and seriousness of attitude. It is with pride, then, that the Staff presents this CRIMSON AND BLUE as a resume of activities in 1961-1962. It is our hope that this edition may give pleasure to you the students, to the facu lty, and to the parents, both now and in the years to come. THE CRIMSON AND BLUE STAFF Dedication MISS LELA KETTER "T wo roads diverged in a wood. a11d I-- I look the 011e less traveled by. And that has made all the difference.'' ROBERT FROST For many years, Miss Lela Ketter has taught algebra, geometry, and trigonometry in Abraham Lincoln High School. Due to changes in the mathematics' curriculum, she now teaches calculus; and she burns the midnight oil with her students. She wilJing ly guides her students along that " less-traveled" road of advanced courses. Before it was disco ntinued , the active Ero Literary Society was also under her capable leadership. One student has estimated that Miss Ketter has called on students, via her famous number box, 24,271 ,439 times. Also students learned to beware of her impish g rin -a sure sign of a quiz. These few words are inadequate to describe the person she is or her influence on the lives of her students. The generous contribution of her life to culture and education at Abraham Lincoln are beyond measure. Miss Ketter-we shall always remember you as a g reat lady! Thank you THE CRIMSON AND BLUE STAFF OF 1962 5 ADMINISTRATION 6 8 MR. RUSSEL MOURER Superintendent of Schools Administrators MR. RAYMOND JONES Assistant Superintendent MR. LESTER ANDREWS Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds The Council Bluffs Board of Education, including Mr. Mourer, Superintendent, Mr. Jones, Assistant Superintendent, and Mr. Andrews, Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, spend many hours working for and worrying about the local school system. Among their major problems are hiring teachers for an ever-growing faculty, providing school rooms for the increasing school population, securing money for multiple demands, and supervising a changing curriculum. The opening this fall of two new junior high buildings proves that the School Board and the Administrators are looking toward the future. The Class of '62 is grateful to all of these men for their sincere efforts in promoting high-quality education in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Board of Education Stud ying a report and the map of the city are Schoo l Boa rd members: J ohn Jungquist, C. Francis Putnam, Ri chard Stoufer, Dr. F. E. Marsh, Sr., Frank Griffith, Richard Peterson, and Paul Su lhoff. MR. W. W. OWEN Principal Abraham Lincoln High School has been proud to claim MR. \'ii. W. OWEN as its principal for four rewarding years. He is very friendly-always ready to help us. Furthermore, he provides a leadership of concerned interest which encourages the students and faculty to do their best. He typifies the spirit of the school with his modern ideas tinged with old-fashioned philosophy. Mr. Owen attended Iowa State Teachers College where he majored in physical education and minored in agriculture, English and social studies. He received his M.A. degree in education from the University of Iowa. Prior to coming to A.L., he was principal at Grinnell, Iowa, for five years. Mr. and Mrs. Owen bought a ne\v home on Mt. Vernon Drive when they came to Council Bluffs. He and his wife Tillie finished a recreation room as part of their first year's activities here in our town. They have a son Robert (A.L. graduate, '59), and a daughter Marilyn, who has three sons and lives with her husband in Terril, Iowa . Holiday time means lots of fun with Tommy, Jimmy, and Danny. "Thirty seconds and the bell will ring." Composing the morning's announcements. "There is a correction in item #2 in today's bulletin." 9 "Two classes the same hour?" 10 MR. ROY F. LAWSON Assistant Principal MR. ROY LA WSON's fondest memory dates back to August, 1961 when he was honored at the Crimson and Blue Signature Swing by having the '61 yearbook dedicated to him. A Jack-Of-All-Trades, Mr. Lawson has a wide va riety of duties at A.L. His big job is plac ing over a thousand students in four or five classes each semester without conflict. He is also in charge of boys' lockers, handles discipline problems, and supervises at many home athletic events. His wife Louise teaches at Washing ton School. The Lawsons have two sons, Douglas and Jerry, who are both A.L. graduates. Douglas is a doctor while Jerry is a lawyer. The Lawsons are mighty proud of their sons and we are mighty proud to claim Mr. Lawson as a top-notch Assistant Principal. "There are too many Smiths." "You had better find your key." Guidance Services " I can't decide what I want to be," is a familiar cry MR. MERLE LESHER hears every day. Mr. Lesher, who is a graduate of Northwest Missouri State College and the University of Kansas, has been Guidance Counselor at A.L. for three years. Before coming to A.L. he was the Guidance Counselor of Grinnell Public Schools. He and his new bride Barbara live on Sherman A venue. Assisting Mr. Lesher with the many records connected with the Guidance Office is MRS. NORMAN CHARLES, an A.L. graduate. Mrs. Charles with her husband "Bud" (also an A.L. graduate) and two daughters, Susan and Virginia, enjoy their new home on Happy Hollow Blv<l . We believe Mrs. Charles will be an expert on "guiding" her own daughters after all of this first-hand experience. MRS. NORMAN CHARLES Guidance Secretary MRS. LUCILE HOFFMAN Dean of Girls Two very difficult jobs are held by the Deans in our school. MRS. LUCILE HOFFMAN, Dean of Girls, spends considerable time in her office calling the homes of absent students. MR. GERALD ROSS, Dean of Boys, isn't lucky enough to have an office but he is a troubleshooter for boys with absence problems. Submitting admits is just a small job when compared to studying the difficulties back of the absence in some cases. We believe that the Deans are doing an admirable job with limited time and facilities. MR. MERLE LESHER Guidance Counselor MR. GERALD ROSS Dean of Men We Make the Records; The Office Keeps Them. The student body will long remember the quiet help which MRS. BOYD WALKER gives on a second's notice. Mrs. Walker has charge of all records in the school-permanent record cards especially. \Xlhen a student enrolls at A.L., the enrollment process begins on her desk. When seniors graduate, it is Mrs. W alker who forwards their transcripts to the necessary colleges. \'(' e believe she understands our problems, having met and solved them many times before. Without a doubt, Mrs. Walker's pleasing manner and quiet cooperation sets the tone for the busiest spot in school-the office. "What makes people tick?" or the study of human nature, is MRS. CURT MAHER's favorite hobby. She came to A.L. in the spring of 1951. Her husband Curt, son Jack, and his wife Teresa, plus five adorable grandchildren make up her happy family. In the office, Mrs. Maher's main responsibility is the keeping of accurate attendance records. She is also Mr. Owen:-s· secretary. Mrs. Maher is always ready to interrupt her work to give a student a helping hand. When asked her favorite TV program, she replied: "I go West with the wagon every Wednesday night!" MRS. RAE WILLIAMS, bookkeeper and treasurer, has the ted ious job of balancing the books at the end of every month. Student treasurers know that she keeps track of daily transactions and that she w!ll help them keep their books straight. In the summer, she gets relief from her books by gardening . (You should see her tomatoes and corn! ) The Lawrence Welk show is one of her favorites. The Williams have two children, Avis and Charles, both graduates of A.L. English Department The English Department offers all phases of English from the "good ole" Paul Bunyan stories ip American Literature to the great Macbeth in English Literature. Rules of grammar and spelling are included in each course. The speech and debate sections develop poise and self-confidence, and the journalism section introduces the techniques of journalism to would-be journalists. Yes-English is taken by everyone every semester. Memories of all the road shows and plays which she has helped produce will always be remembered by MRS. LUCILE HOFFMAN. To help her remember, four years ago the road show cast gave her a charm bracelet. Each cast since then has added to it by giving her a charm relating to its particular theme. A graduate of Marietta College in Ohio, Mrs. Hoffman has also attended Ohio State University and Omaha University. She is Dean of Girls but she also loves the excitement of her senior English classes. J ayne and Joyce Knudsen illustrate Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. Seniors who had MISS BIANCA McCOMB fo r English Literature will appreciate her efforts more when they go to to college. A graduate of the State University of N ebraska, Miss McComb is very familiar with the exacting demands of English professors. (In fact, we'll wish that we had " plugged in" more often.) We shall remember her as a colorful individual who had a cheery attitude. Among her many interests are oil painting and cherry pie! Visitors in her home are soon aware of her talent as they view her paintings. "\Xfhat·s goi ng on in the world?" is a question often heard from MR. H. ARTHUR LEE's journalism classes. Mr. Lee is kept up to date by reading at least three newspapers a night and by watching his favo rite TV shows- the newscasts. He considers , himself a very good cook but admits he likes to eat out once in a whil e. During his summers, he has traveled throughout 48 of our 50 states. W e are proud to say that he has been presiden t of the Iowa Association of Journalism Directors. (Meet Tiger. his dog.) The varied interests of MR. ROBERT BROWN may surprise many o f his present and former pupils. These interests range from the rip-roaring Westerns on TV to painting his house on Linden A venue. Mr. Brown especia lly enjoys read ing the books of Van Wyck Brooks and eating appl e pi e whi ch he takes with a bicarbonate chaser. A former editor-inchief and faculty adviser of the Crimson and Blue, he remembers those years as a time of work and fun at A.L. Among the faculty members, MRS. MARVINA KINNEY holds the record for living the farthest from A.L. She and her daughter Marcia drive 60 miles round trip each day. Mrs. Kinney is shown here with her husband Rev. J. Milton Kinney in the M acedonia Methodist Church which they have served for eight years. Mrs. Kinney remembers fondly when she received a life membership in the Women's Society of Christian Service. As juniors, we remember the interesting class sessions we had when she taught us to appreciate current American Literature- -such as the Reader's Digest. (That beat reading..,the "lit" book all the time') r "Go! Go'. Go! A.L. " This is the motto of MISS MARY JO DUG AN who created a new Booster Club this past yea r. This club is responsible for " inner school spirit" and fo r the posters seen on bulletin boards. This is Miss Dugan's second year at A.L., having graduated from Omaha University in 1959. Her mai n concern is improving school spirit at A.L. Favorite · sports include basketball and tennis but she loves fine music. Students showing good sportsmanship, initiative, and respect rate highly with this pert "Miss.·· Our organ-playing Eng lish teacher, MR. SETH HILLS, has estimated that he has played fo r over one thousand weddi ngs and funerals during the past twenty yea rs. Prior to coming to A.L., Mr. Hills was an offi ce man ager fo r an insurance ad justing firm. Mr. Hills prefers teaching to office work-especially since he is teaching in his old alma mater. The Chanticleer Little Theater in Council Bluffs has an active member in Seth Hills. His future pl ans include making a third trip to Europe in the summer of 1962. ., The \Yonderful enthusiasm shown by her homeroom pup ils in response to this yea r·s magazi ne d ri ve made MISS FA YF lVIARTY a very proud teacher. Her room ranked highest in sa les throughout the whole school. (There·s more than one way to get an "A ... ) Sophomores learn in her English classes that money isn"t the most important thing in li fe from the story of Silas Marner. one of Miss Marty's favorite classics. Seniors acquire business lette r po lish in her business Eng lish classes. In the summer, Miss Marty trave ls and ga rdens, but reading is her favo rite pastime. "W histl e a Happy Tune .. is the motto of her classes. 15 "Help-we have claustrophobia!" "Guten tag, liebe studenten ! Wie gehst ?" With these famous words, MR. BERNARD SCHENKELBERG opens his German classes each day. Mr. Schenkelberg hails from Sioux City and graduated from Creighton University. Although he visited Germany, French Morocco, Cuba, Newfoundland, and Guam during his tour of duty in the army, he still claims that his favorite memory was the time he bowled a high game of 223 when he was only fourteen. Language Department Now that a trip from New York to Paris can be made in a few hours, and a phone call from Hong Kong to San Francisco goes throug h in a matter of minutes, the need for a basic understanding of languages has become a necessity. Recording booths, new last September to the Language D epartment, give students the opportunity to hear lang uages spoken properly. In addition, all courses of study seek a level of conversational ease and a wide acquaintance with Latin, Spanish, and German countries. Freshmen and sophomores don 't know it, but they are learning more Eng lish grammar in their Latin courses than they learn in Eng lish. H owever, MISS MARGARET HENDERSON has known this for a long time! Three times a semester the Latin classes are " jazzed up" with a meeting of the Latin Clubs during school time. This means programs and refreshments. Miss H enderson's h obby is collecting fa ns. She has about three dozen from all over the wo rld an in all different sizes. Social Studies Department The "three-two" plan now operates in the Social Studies and Science Departments. All students must take three years of social studies and two years of science or vice-versa. This means that more students are taking world history. Juniors are required to take American history and seniors are required to take government. Students find that the modern problems and economics courses are two practical discussion courses in their senior year. Kent Weakly points out a troublesome spot in the d~ily current e,·ents. Surprising as it may seem to you. MR. RICHARD SCHOEPPNER majored in industrial arts at Peru State College in Nebraska. This skill comes in handy during the summer when he earns twice as much as a construction worker as compared with teaching. Senior social studi es students enjoy his classes-- especially his accounts about life in the Orient. Being a patient and pleasant person makes Mr. Schoeppner photogenic- don't you thi nk ? The Schoeppner family includes Joyce his wife, and sons Ricky and Donnie. MR. WALTER KALTENBORN , our government teacher, has many times spoken to his classes on different aspects of South American culture and government. Few students know that he Jived in Peru for six and one-half years where he was superintendent of schools. Here at school he promotes the use of visual aids and an atmosphere of "restfulness" in all his classes. Mr. Kaltenborn comes out of hibernation to sponsor golf in the spring. His wife Leona, and his two sons Walter and Joe, are shown with him in the home he helped to build. As a teacher of English and economics, MR. DALLAS HEMENWAY recommends his favorite books SUMMA THEOLOGICA and CONTRA GENTILES by Aquinas. (Sounds like pretty heavy reading!) After graduating from Creighton U three years ago, he became a member of the A.L. Staff. He and his wife Guadalupe have three children, David, Gregory, and Madeleine. Mr. Hemenway was a boxer in the service although he coaches wrestling now. His favorite sport? Hunting. One of the most stimulating teachers on our faculty is MR. WILLIAM SCHMIDT, social studies instructor. We don't always agree with him, but we THINK in his classes. Before becoming a teacher, he was a social worker in Chicago. He is now working on a thesis at Omaha U fo r his Ph.D. Mr. Schmidt says his favorite memory at A.L. was the day Mrs. Eschmann gave him 7th period for rearranging the pictures on her bulletin board. (And he stayed too!) We have a favorite memory of him: Weren't his gym shorts ( ?) at the faculty game just too, too I 18 One of the snappiest dressers on the faculty is MR. DON THOMAS, American History teacher. Mr. Thomas graduated from Peru State T eachers College in Nebraska five years ago where he majored in social studies and minored in industrial arts. He spends his summers painting houses and pl ay ing baseball and the horses. Pictured with him are his wife Polli, daughter Tami, and their dog Cimba. Be sure you know which way you are going when you pass Room 313-MRS. JUANITA ESCHMANN's room- where world histQry is taught. Some years ago, Mrs. Eschmann received her M.A. degree in American history from Columbia University in N ew York. Since 1950 she has been the supervisor of summer school in our town. She loves to travel and has been to the W est Indies, Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, Canada and many historic places in the United States. She is pictured here with the Misses Jeanette and Bess Hanigan who are retired teachers and were her luncheon guests. Since social studies students make many trips to the library for research, we are picturing MISS LUCY MILLER with the social studi es teachers. Did you know that you must go to college five years to become a school librarian? Our Miss Miller has done this-and more! She is a graduate of Simpson College and the University of Illinois. Playhouse 90 and the Bell Telephone Hour are two of Miss Miller·s favorite T V shows. H er hobby is selecting books for her nieces and nephews. Reading a biography is an ideal way to spend a winter evening according to Miss Miller. A good rul e, in her estimation, is to buy a book you will like to read a second time. Sounds like a good idea. If you give fri endly cooperation and haYe a good sense of humor, you will have no trouble winning the approYal of MRS. GRACE THOMPSON, American history teacher. \Xfhile on her travels in quest of America's historic spots, she has built up a collection of approximately 400 slides. T hese slides range from the U.N. to Yellowstone Park. Mrs. Thompson says: "This is how I travel year round." Her most thrilling trip was to the House of Biltmore, a replica of a French castle in Charlottesville, North Caroli na. Her fayorite TV shows ? "Meet the Press" and "Gunsmoke." Jim Currie and Bob Cl arke write up their observations on lab day. A.L. students gained a fine chemistry instructor when MR. HERBERT LITTLE decided to leave a superintendency in Nebraska and return to the classroom. We remember his "point" system and his philosophy about getting along in the world . (Remember about Herb's Metrecal shampoo fo r fatheads)) Romance has always had chemistry mixed up with it, but you shou'ld hear Mr. Little's cute stori es about molecular courtships. His home is fill ed with furniture he has made. He and his wife Eileen are seen by one of his buffets admiring some of their china. " \'(latch out! That me rcury w ill ruin your cl ass ring!'' is hea rd o n a typ ica l laboratory day in chemistry. During the past yea r chemists and physicists ha \·e ag reed to base the periodi c chart on carbo n 12 instead o f oxygen 16. As for the bio logy divisio n- well- it will be qu ite a \vhile before any mercury sh ows up in the anatomy of a fro.[!. . The prime ob ject of the Science D epa rtment is to insti ll a firm scientific fo und atio n in its stud en ts. This is extremely important in view o f o ur country"s need for resea rch and deve lopment in a ll phases of science. One of the " two-yea r-o lds" at A.L. is MR. RONALD BROOKS, a grad ua te of Creighton Uni versity where h e majored in Physics. For two summers Mr. Brooks has wo rked o n h is M .S. at Colorado Co ll ege in Co lo rado Springs. He will have ea rned it by the summer o f '63 . His hobby consists of co ll ecting co ins a nd his faYo rite sports are hunting and fishing. (Co lo rad o is th e spot to combine studying and fi shing.) His w ife Elinor teaches at Rooseve lt in the winter but especially enj oys their Co lorado summe rs. A small ( but growing) suburban home is e,·idence of MR. TOMAS LARA 's hobby of woodwork ing. After g raduating from Omaha U, Mr. Lara returned to A.L. to teach Spanish and biology. He has found the equipment in the Language Laboratory a real chall enge this past year. His wife Sara, an A.L. graduate, had an A-1 Spanish teacher by the name of Lara , we are told . The Lara household was interrnpted this year by the birth of a baby daughter Jill. But after all- little Justin did need a playmate. "Brownie points" are no joke in MR. EDWARD FLANNERY's sophomore bi ology classes. For all out-of-class projects he g ives extra points whi ch become an integral part of the semeste r grade. And another thing-everybody, inc luding g irls. must lea rn to handl e lil'e worms, frogs and snakes. Mr. Flannery is currently working for his M .A. at Omaha U . He and his wife Charl ene haYe had two trips in the last two yea rs-one to Florid a and the other to the Black Hills. If you can 't find MR. WOODROW WILSON CLARKE in the bio logy laboratory, look for him among the Boy Scouts. He is enthusiastic about scouting and counts it his most im portant hobby. At the present time he is work ing fo r his M.A. at Omaha U where he is an assistant to Dr. M. E. Brooks. As he teaches in his new laboratory. he remembers when he used a blow torch instead of a gas burner. The '' little" woman in h is li fe . Helen , reaches 5 · if she stretches : but she is bi a enou crh b t"" to hand le three sons, James, Robe rt and Stephen. 21 Mr. Sipes' geometry class is certain the new desks do not make geometry any easier. Mathematics Department The department in school which is undergoing the pe:itest rernlu tion is the Mathe - matics Department. Honor students can now take algebra 4 in the ir juni o r yea r. This is then followed by trigonometry and an advanced course ca l leJ .. A dYanced Fundamentals of Mathematics." This course cove rs ca lculus, ana lyt ics and othe r forms of modern math. The Math Department has a new look. D esks in 308 and 205 (which have been there for a century) have been rep laced by new desks \\'ith graphs imprinted on their tops. (Guess what ? These will never last a century 1) One of MISS ERVA HUCKLEEBERRY's favo ri te pieces of philosophy is: "I get terribly hungry and therefore I teach school. But I'll have you know that I am goi ng to have fun doing it!" (And she does!) She graduated from Park College in Parkville, Missouri, a long time ago as a math major but she has taught everything from Latin to chemistry. In fact, she taught chemistry at A.L. the year before Mr. Little came. Her hobby is taking pictures for the yearbook whi ch she sponsors again this year. We have named her "Miss Flash of '62." The pride and joy o f MR. \'<IILLIAM SIPES is his year-o ld daug hte r K e ll y Madge. Although Mr. Sipes now teaches m a th , he is at presen t working for his M .A. degree in g uid ance and counseling at Omaha U. His cl asses think it is rea l g reat w hen they get him off on a " tangent" like sch oo l spirit. While N ancy his wife is home ,·va iting su pper, h e is coaching the footba ll rese rves a fter schoo l. All A.L. stud ents w ill long rem embe r Mr. Sipes in the facu lty baske tbal l game. ( \X! h at pretty legs ') Among his years at A.L., MR. REX ILGENFRITZ remembers most fondly the year the Marching Band won a I-rating at contest. He joi ned the A.L. Staff in 1954. Among the famous musici ans he has been privileged to hear is the violinist, Jascha Heifetz. Although he majored in trombone, his favorite instrument is a baritone. Look, kids-if you want a special favor, just bake him a chocolate pie with a g raham cracker crust. Fine Arts The Fine Arts Department 1s divided into Vocal Music, Instrumental Music and Art. Any student may become a member of vocal musi c whether he can sing or not. Students in the Marching Band practically march their legs off in practices before contests. Also, the Pep Band adds its share of spirit to the games. In the past year, the Art Department made its contribution to the student body in its clever and inspiring Christmas decorations-a new note for the school year. Department The words, "spare time," are unfamiliar to our vocal music instructor MRS. VIOLA BICHEL In her "spare time" she has organi zed and rehearsed music groups which entertain at numerous functions throughout the city. Her department has made many of the links in the chai n of good public relations. Visit her some Sundy afternoon in her Mineola home and sample her rye bread. Although there was a lot of life left in their 1950 Buick, MR. and MRS. GERALD ROSS became the proud " parents" of this new, blue 1961 Buick. Mrs. Ross is art adviser for each stage production and sponsors the Lynx Artists Bottega. Her husband Gera ld sponsors the DECA organization and has trained some outstanding businessmen in our town with his courses in sales and DE. 23 Electric typewriters are standard equipment m the business machines class. Vocational Department Business Education, Mechanical Arts, Homemaking and Agriculture make up the Vocational Department. Graduates from the Business Education Department become the businessmen and women of the ci ty. Boys who major in shop may earn a Ji vi ng working for a contractor or may go to college and become engineers. Girls take homemaking courses knowing they will need them to better fulfill their roles for tomorrow. Lastly, A.I.. can still boast of an "Ag Department" where boys learn that farming is big business. Let us introduce to you Susan, Bart, Copper, Blacki e and their trainer and fri end, MR. HAROLD STOUT. Training dogs and raising sh eep, chickens and geese are just a few of Mr. Stout's h obbies. As woodworking in structor, he made for himself many opportunities to use his skills when h e and his wife Ethel boug ht a rambling farm home about 22 miles east on Highway 6. Take it from us- looks like a wonderful place for a picnic in his front yard. The homemakers of tomorrow sincerely appreciate the instruction of MISS EDNA WILLARD. She is pictured here with her sister, MISS MARIE WILLARD, who teaches at Bloomer School. With the transfer of freshmen to other schools, Miss Willard was given complete charge of the Homemaking Department. Therefore, her schedule has fluctuated between cooking and sewing. The Willard sisters have taken many fine trips together but their ultra-favorite was to the French Quarter in New Orleans. (Ask them about the girli e-show !) Did you know that MR. ED REINEL's Practical Mechanics class o f 195 3 built the fence around Kirn Field? The projects which these classes have completed down through the years a re too numerous to mention here·. Remodeling houses and making trips to Minnesota with his wife Harriet take up his spare time. come summer. 24 MRS. MARTHA SCHMIDT works practical application into her Office Practice course since she has had much experience working in offices. One of her most memorable summers was spent working for the Navy in Ottumwa, Iowa. She termed this a summer of " liberal education." She and her husband Everett both enjoy a basketball game-good or bad. Mrs. Schmidt is very proud of her antiques, some of which date back to the Civil \'\far days. One of her hobbies is to read about those "good old days." As yet, ao one has stolen our basketball coach. MR. THURMAN JOHNSON, and for this we are thankful. Mr. Johnson's staff assig nment is to teach typing 5 hours a day. He sets high goals in his classes just as he sets high goals on the basketball floor. His wife Barbara is one of his favorite fans. She teaches music at Eastside Junior High. Summer finds them both still working-Mr. Johnson for an insurance company and Mrs. Johnson in summer school as a teacher. MRS. GLORIA SINNETT, who came to us from Omaha University last year, is at present acting as secretary and collaborator to Dr. \'\filliam H . Thompson, an Omaha author. Mrs. Sinnett taught for many years at Omaha University and also served as secretary there. For these reasons, her teaching has a practical aspect which we appreciate. She much prefers the excitement of the classroom to the routine of the office. Although she has no children, she is the foster mother of a dachshund, Nicky. She and her husband Hale have a big time in the summer raising tomatoes. Winter evenings find them listening to semiclassical music on their hi-fi. 25 Discussing Christmas shopping at the Owens' Christmas tea are Mrs. Crookham. Mrs. Owen, Mrs. ReineJ and Mrs. Kaltenborn. New teachers on the A.L. faculty cause quite a stir- especially when they are young, cute, and single. The student body welcomes these new faces and of course " tries out " these new minds. But anyway you look at it- to teach at A.L. is a real experience. Wowl New Teachers! MISS SUZANNE RAYMOND (often mistaken for a senior in A.L. halls) and MR. FRED MAHER have eaten lunch together quite frequently in the past year. After graduating from the State University of Iowa, Miss Raymond came to A.L. to teach sophomore English and debate. While at Iowa U, she was a member of the Scottish Highlanders and toured Europ<: with them. Her accounts of this trip no doubt fascinate Mr. Maher who is a graduate of Northwestern Missouri State Teachers College. He taught five years before coming to A.L. Since he is a math major he was assigned business arithmetic, geometry and algebra. Football is one of his favorite sports. A bright-eyed new-comer to the staff is MISS JOYCE PRCHAL. (The "c" doesn't sound.) Miss Prchal is a graduate of the University of Nebraska where she majored in Business Education. Since she attended Central High School in Omaha, she is familiar with A.l. and its reputation in scholastic and athletic areas. Football is her favorite sport although she really enjoys a musical play more. In case you are wondering, banana cream pie and rare steak are high on her list of favorites. ·- The A.L faculty acquired an interesting personality when MRS. MARY ANDERSON joined the staff this year. Actual office experience makes it easy for Mrs. Anderson to g ive life to her business courses. Mrs. Anderson was graduated from the New Mexico University. She and her husband Richard (A.L graduate in 1954) both love Spanish food which they have one nig ht a week. Ten-month-old Harold has learned to be quiet since his D addy is a full-time office worker at International Harvester and also carri es a heavy schedule at Omaha U . Our new shop teacher, AIVARS ZELTINS, can well teach stud ents the meaning of freedom. Mr. Zeltins originally came from Latvia where he spent several years under the Communists. He was able to escape to Germany where he lived for seven yea rs. Then he came to the U. S. ten years ago under church sponsorship. Since then there haYe been three attempts to have him deported . Mr. Zeltins graduated from Omaha U in 196 1. By the way, don't ever play soccer aga inst Mr. Zeltins. For two years he was a member of a champion soccer team. MR. WILLIAM YAGER is the new Vocational Agriculture instructor at A.L. this year. Before coming here, Mr. Yager was a First Lieutenant in the U. S. Air Force. He came to Council Bluffs during the last part of August. He was a welcome sight because everybody doubted there would be Vocational Agriculture due to the transfer of farm students to the new Lewis Central Schoo l. Mr. Yage r spends after-school hours driving around the country looking at his students' farm projects. His wife Marky gave him quite a shock two years ago when she gave birth to twins Mike and Kim. 27 These Teachers Complete the Curriculum MR. JOHN CROOKHAM answers to many names ( ?), but we know him best as "Coach." Having played foo tball for A.L. himself, he still dreams of a win ning team. As instructor in Drivers' Education, his silent prayer (often heard aloud) is: "Drive with care. The life you save may be MINE. .. During the summer, he and his wife Ramona spend many enjoyable hours at Lake Manawa. However, most of his time is spent at Dad's Texaco Station. (A man must eat in the summer, somehow!) About fifteen years ago, the Girls' Physical Education Department received a shock- MRS. CLEO LA TAYLOR. Girls now receive in three years a well-rounded "sports activity" program. Mrs. Taylor has top enrollment in the school-over 500. A graduate of Northwestern Missouri State Teachers College, she has home interests in her daughter Gerre, a junior at North High, and her son James, who is just beginning his studies for the ministry. In the summer, her husband Wayne assists her with her hobby of gardening as does her stepson Kyle. Two part-time workers on the staff are MRS. NORMA HEATON and MRS. LOU JOHNSON. Mrs. Heaton works three days a week helping Miss Miller with th~ detailed work of the library. Mrs. Johnson assists Mrs. Hoffman and Mrs. T aylor with h ealth problems concerning the g irls of the school. These two ladies have become real assets in our school. Mrs. Camilla Kilkenney and Mrs. Lucile Russell Mrs. Zola Falk - Cooks and Custodians i\frs. Alta Hiatt and Mrs. Agnes Booten How would you like to prepare 700 peanut-butter sandwiches every day, five days a week, thirty-six weeks a year? These ladies do just this and they can't stand peanut butter anymore~ Of course, they have many other dishes to prepare according to the prescribed menus. Pictured with their sandwiches are MRS.

Deadlines are meant to be met, and the staff has really had to work to catch them in the nick of time. Our adviser Miss Huckleeberry has guided her fledglings through myriads of details involved in the production of this yearbook. Hours of typing, editing, picturecropping, and composing were spent in the hopes of making this year's Crimson and Blue a top-notch edition. We hope that we have fulfilled our ambition in capturing the memories of this school year, making it more precious as years go by. Bombarding Miss Huck leeberry with work are l\fary Lynne Jorgensen, Susan Beck, ] im Dorr, Linda Flack and Dianne Fauble. Connie Elgan, Coleen Francis, Laura Croghan and Ruth Knickman have much use for Ko-Rec-Type. Hard Work No Credit - but Fun! Who said that making a memory book of 224 pages for 1,000 students is easy? \Y/e of the yearbook staff of 1962 would like to meet that person. What would we tell him? \Y/e'd tell him that it takes a thousand appoi ntments for pictures, weeks of waiting for deYeloping, retouching and printing, plus hours of creating interesting copy. Besides these frustrations, you have to possess or develop talent in picture layout, copy layout, and the reduction or enlargement of pictures. You have to have thick skin so as not to be hurt by criticism and you must be ready to do a page over six times if it doesn't please Miss Huckleeberry, the Adviser. And that isn't all, you have to know everybody in school for identification purposes. So-is it any wonder that the staff sessions sound like utter chaos with nothing to do some days and too much to do others? And then there is that week after school is out when the staff works double while everybody else vacations. In a quandary over the layout pages are Doris Selo, Nancy O'Brien, Connie Stroh and Dorothea Bamesberger. The potluck leftovers taste wonderful at 3 p.m. to Laura Croghan, Coleen Francis, Chris Brown and Bill Martin. 33 34 Laughing at the latest joke are Linda Flack, Mary Lynne Jorgensen, D oris Seto, Nancy O 'Brien, Ruth Kni ckman, M a ril yn Lemons, and Connie Elgan. All Feen - No Fights Have you ever tasted Ruth Knickman's home-grown fried chicken, or Marilyn Lemons' German chocolate cake? The 1961-62 Annual Staff has- and more! At Connie Elgan's potluck supper, a mysterious dish of potato chip dip was passed around. Somebody said it was a rare Puss 'n Boots brand ! Also Dick Beezley found he loved whipping cream-especially sprayed all over his face. At N ancy O'Brien's home, many chose instruments to join in a music fe stival with Connie and Ruthie in a duet on the "vibes." Susie B_eck showed us a sample of her violin talent. Through all of this, Miss Huckleeberry waited tables and sampled everything ! I I ==1 -1 "What a way to pass the potato chip dip!" exclaims Jim Dorr to Susie Beck.

Student Council The Student Council helps to solve a variety of school problems, but its main function this past year was to promote fund-raising projects. These were the magazine sale and the barn dance. The profits were allocated to certain community charities and toward the purchase of the new organ. As sponsor of the Student Council, Mr. Merle Lesher finds his job complex as the mediator between the administration and the student body. Discussing their homework during an executive board meeting are the Student Council officers. They are Susie Fernley, vice-president; Rose Anne Ryan, treasurer; Merrily Abel, secretary; and Bill Emarine, president. President Bill Emari ne also serves as vice-president of the Southwest Iowa District Student Council. 35 Linda Flack Doris Selo Mary Lynne Jorgensen Will Raiser National Honor Society The National Honor Society at Abraham Lincoln, although remaining an inactive g roup, serves its purpose through honor and incentive. Scholarship, character, service, and leadership are the traits required for selection for membership. An assembly is held each spring at which time the goals are explained and the new members are announced. Five percent of the junior class and ten percent of the senior class are selected each year for membership. This organization inspires ambitious students to set higher goals for themselves.

Linda enjoys sports as a spectator and also as a participant. She played recreation basketball this year. She was a member of the Medical Arts Club and the Student Council. Although she is one of our more quiet seniors, Queen Linda will be long remembered by her A.L. friends. Two Susies shared the princesses' spotlight at our Homecoming this fall. Vivacious Susie Fernley is well known for her sparkling personality and fri endly smile. Her favorite extracurricular activity is vocal music. She especially enjoys singing with the Madrigal Singers. Famous for her musical ability, Princess Susie Stuart has had the lead ~ the senior operetta for two years. An active participant in many clubs, she is noted for her cooperativeness and enthusiasm. Homecoming Royalty Abraham Lincoln's '61 -'62 Football Queen Linda Newman and her court earned their way to this honor through selling sea~on football tickets. The football team selected the queen and the princesses from the five girls highest in sales. The court was composed of the remaining ten girls out of the highest thirteen.

It was a nice sunny day for tennis according to David Berryhill, Bob Miller, Bill Emarine, Jim Wilkins, David Hoffman, Mike Tait, Prentice Besore, Dick \'\falling, Joe Krumenacher, Jim Hall, Greg Shipley, Tom Adamson, and Lee Hudson. Golf Another year has passed for the "Lynx Linksters," and they have again followed the familiar path of recent years. They are able to beat the best of them. Under the coaching of MR. WALTER KALTENBORN and led by their four seniors- Jim Erickson, Larry Albertson, Carl Oberdorfer, and JIM DORRthe Linksters took fifth place in the district tournament. Tennis With a host of new players plus the combined efforts of the returning lettermen, the 1962 tennis team racketed into another season this spring. Coach WILLIAM SIPES closed out his first year with a 4-6 record. Lacki ng any individual standouts, the netmen depended upon team strength to match their foes. Returning lettermen were Mike Tait, Tom Adamson, and Lee Hudson. The other players were DaYid Berryhill, Prentice Besore, Bob Caputo, Bill Emarine, Steve Gere, Jim Hall, Joe Krumenacher, Bob Miller, Greg Shipley, Dick W alling, and Jim Wilkins. The neighbors had better look out for the teeing off of the golf team. ROW l: John Jensen, Tom Pester, Bob Cheesman, and Jim Thane. ROW 2: Jim Dorr.

ROW 4: Steven Kephart, Ted Morse, Merrill Finley,. Charles Miller, Glen Knight. Boys who went out for track this year really worked under Coach Maher's expert and experienced direction. Constant drill and practice gave A.L. honors especially in the 440 relay, the high jump, the two-mile rel ay, the football throw, and the shotput. Our school was well represented at the major track meets which included the Mustang Relays, Drake Relays, and Big . Red Relays, among others. Our boys also participated in the Council Bluffs Relays. This event was initiated for the schools of Southwest Iowa a few years ago by A.L's former track coach Charles Greenwood. It is held on our own Kirn Field and is presently directed by Mr. Francis Hanson, the track coach at Thomas Jefferson. Ron Stander is practicing for the Council Bluffs Relays.

Although the wrestling team was short in reserves and quantity, there were several wrestlers who were tops in the area. At the North Invitational Wrestling Tournament in Omaha, Ken Eledge and Bob Bennett won the 165-pound and 145-pound weight classes respectively. To climax the season, Ken Eledge, Ron Stander, and AI Bradford qualified for State at the Des Moines District meet. Eledge came in fourth at the State meet in his weight class. Terry Chew captained the 1961-62 team and the honor will be passed to Ken Eledge for the 1962-63 season. "Come and get us!" say Bill Strachan, Dave Bogardus, Verlyn Eenhius, and Ed Larsen. Ready to travel to Des Moines for the State Tournament are Ken Eledge, Coach Thomas Lara, Ron Stander, Bruce Eilers and Sgt.

With the call of "play ball," Coach Don Thomas' baseballers returned to action. The Lynx were short on seniors-only two on the squad-which could point to very good teams in the future yea rs. The retiring Lynx are veterans Dick Beezley and Larry Messerli. Seniors-to-be Stan Bahnsen, Steve Minikus, and Bill Wasinger are expected to form the nucleus of next year's team. Sophomores Jerry Thomas, Rod Putnam, Dave Lubbe, Dean Collier and Rob Clouse also turned in good performances this season. 107 JUDI CAMPBELL- "Give me an 'L' !" LINDA FLACK-"Fightteam-fight !"

Varsity ~ ~I KATHY FRANCIS-''Fight-fight!" RUTH KNICKMAN- ··Go-gang-go !' ' PAT DANIELSEN- "A-L-H-SFig ht1" Cheerleaders "On to State!" was a dream come true for the Varsity Cheerleaders. During all their time as cheerleaders, these girls have waited, cheered and "hoped" for the ultimate reward of a cheerleading career-a trip to the State Basketball Tournament. This year that dream actually came true! Mrs. Cleola Taylor, sponsor, conducted 7:30 practices three mornings a week during the entire football and basketball seasons. While cheering .football games this year, the girls experienced all kinds of weather-baking hot, freezing cold, and soaking wet. Cheering wrestling matches was a relatively new experience, but also an exciting one. The "new look" of the Varsity Squad resulted from adoption of blue skirts by the seniors in place of the white ones. JUDY PEDERSEN- "Beat 'Em 1" BARB KAY-"Ring it out!

These familiar words could be heard every Monday, \X'ed nesday, and Friday morning last fa ll when the sophomores and juniors tri ed out at cheerleadi ng practices for the reserve squad. The girls spent many hours of hard work in the morning and after school at the football games until the final list was chosen. Afterwards, there was the hurry and scurry getting their outfits ready for the first basketball game. Then, after what seemed just a couple of short weeks, the sports and cheerleading seasons were over for another year.

Both boys have had the unique privilege of being sponsored by the American Field Service. W ill spent last summer and the fall semester in Hameenlina, Finland, where he attended a high school for boys only. Gunnar, who lives in Iceland, has resided with Bob Robnett and his family while attending A.L. These boys have had some wonderful experiences to compare and also to share with us. 185 -- 186 SENIOR ACTIVITIES -------====- --===-===--------= The 1962 Prom court were: Bill Emarine, Princess Ruth Knick man, Bill Martin, Dianne Fauble, Gene Porter, Susie Stuart, Joel Jessen, Judi Campbell, J oe Jackson, Susie Shiple)', Kirk Johnson, and Princess Rasmussen. "Pleeze, Susie-ml' foot!" 1961 King and Queen Chuck Thompson and Connie Gallagher crown this )'ear·s ro)'alt)'. Song of the Islands Amidst a world of palm trees, sea shells, fishi ng nets and colorful leis, Abraham Lincoln juniors and seniors danced to the music of Ray Bachman. The Hawaiian theme was depicted in the decorations and even in the refreshments of Hawaiian punch and cookies. Reigning over the island wonderland were the everpopular Susie Fernley and Larry Messerli, who were elected by the junior class. Susie, whose dark eyes mirror the lure of the islands, and Larry, who would be welcome at any luau, were a handsome couple reigning over a glorious event. 189 Sally Odell-Hawkeye State Honor Day Fred Tedesco, Gordon Abel, and Bob Robnett are honored as Hawkeye Boys' State winners by Charles Kjar. George Feilen, Bill Phillips, Gary Davie, David Graves, and Dennis Jensen get F.F.A. awards from Mr. Yager. Nancy Stoker and Gene Porter re- •ceive Good Citizenship awards from Robert Dipple.

Naval ROTC Scholarship D oug Ward Many Scholarships Joel Jessen Set4US~ Dr. Ericksen-Hill, a much beloved doctor in Council Bluffs, watched many people receive scholarships and always felt that more could be done for those who do not necessarily excel scholastically. The requirements for the award are unselfish service, good character, and a friendly nature. One senior girl is chosen by the student body to be honored for her faithful fulfilling of these qualities. The girl who won the award, by coincidence, is the sister of last year's winner. Like her older sister, Connie Elgan is a wonderful person to know. She has that rare gift ru making folks happy. A myriad of activities including music, plays, clubs, and church youth groups consume her time; but she still finds time to lend a helping hand. Incidentally, Connie is probably the only person to receive this award and drop it! 192 Susie Stuart brought a great honor to herself and A.L. when she placed third in the National DAR Good Citizenship Contest. Susie placed first in both the District and State Contests, thus qualifying to compete at the national level. She was the first person from Council Bluffs to win the State Contest in sixteen years and the first to win the District Contest in ten years. In order to enter, Susie wrote an essay on "A Republic-If You Can Keep It." She also submitted a summary of her contributions to her school, church, and home. We will always remember Susie as a fine soloist in our school. Friends of hers speak of her cheerfulness and enthusiasm. We are certain that Susie was an excellent representative for us in national competition. A toast to the class of 1962- Skoal ! That's right, Burry. Clap for yourself too!

Some of them you'll remember longer than others, like your first high school date, the game we lost by one point, the Military Ball, and those wonderful proms, and-just being a senior. And one thing you'll always remember is that moment you received your diploma. {Amen ) No matter what you do or where you go in the years that follow, you'll always remember the fun you had at Abraham Lincoln High School. Here is your 1963 Crimson and Blue to help you remember. En - joy it! SENIOR CLASS PRESIDENT Dedication Dear Mr. Little, We want you to know that we will long remember the hot dogs you roasted over a bunsen burner, your Metracal shampoo for fa theads. and all your other funny jokes and homey philosophies of life. We are glad you resigned a superintendency in Nebraska and came to Abraham Lincoln High School in 194-4. We have calculated that in your 18 years here, you have enlightened more than 2,200 students in all aspects of lea rning and have prepared them to meet the growing demands fo r scientific education . We will always remember your classes which sparkled with subtle. and sometimes. devilish humor. Your fa therly understanding and guidance ha,·e helped manY in more ways than you'll ever realize. We, the Yearbook Staff, are delighted that it is our privilege to dedicate this book to you- Herbert Little- one truly dedicated to us. Sincerely. THE STAFF 5 Mrs. Cleola Ta ylor In Appreciation Talk about big classes! Can yo u imagine having to lea rn the names of 600 students? This was the problem Mrs. Cl eo la Taylor, physical education teacher at A.L. for the past fift een yea rs, had to fac~! On coming to A.L., she enriched this depa rtment b y addi ng many activities. Sacrificing her time to help girls with h eavy sch edules, she taught a 7 :30 gym class. She also displayed he r wit in helping the cheerleaders whip up a skit for the pep assemblies a nd m producing the gym pageants. Her successor had a big pair of shoes to fill! We wo uld like to say "Thank you, Mrs. Taylor, for a job well done! " The alarm in the Ilgenfritz home went off at 6 a.m. eve ry clay m order to get "Rex" to the field, where he looked into the eyes of fifty sleepy band members. For eight yea rs Mr. Rex Ilgenfritz diligently directed the A.L. High School marching, pep, and concert bands. When you entered band in September, you signed up for fun , but during the year you learned the true meaning of music. Rex brought to many minds the seriousness of music and its interpretati on. Thanks to him come from the hand members who appreciated his personal interest in each one of them. And we all thank him for his musical contributions to all school activities. 6 Mr. Ed RPinei Mr. R ex llgen/ritz From 1926 to 1962, many boys h ave graduated fr om A.L. a nd a great many of them knew Mr. Ed Reine!, drafting instruc to r. H e more or less "held" our school together with his practica l m echanics class which he originated. The lockers, the fence around Kirn Field the extensions to the stage, the graduation platform, the refinishin~ of the tables in the library, and the repair jobs too numerous to mention are but a few of his proj ects. Future engineers will make fewer errors if they r emembe r him saying, " It stands to reason ... " This is a sincere thank you from the man y b oys· whose ca r ee rs were molded by Ed Reine!, who never asked for any sp ecial o r extra recognition, hut was highly dese rving o f bo th . Board of Education/ Lester Haas, William Cutler, Frank Griffith, Richard Peterson, Dr. F. E. i\ fa , Richard Stoufer, and Paul Sulhoff. Seven of Council Bluffs' most dedicated men compose our School Board. They serve willingly, give of their time freely, and yet are often the brunt of much criticism. We at A.L. can be especially proud of this progressive group because five of its seven members are g raduates of our school. The people of Council Bluffs stand behind the Board with their support as shown by their recent acceptance of the bond issue. Matters now being considered b y the board are : increasing teachers' salaries, building additions, and improving the cur· riculum. MR. RAYMOND JONES ASS'T. SUPT. Administrators MR. LESTER ANDREWS BUS. MGR. MR. RU SEL .:vIOi lREH Sl iPT. 7 8 WE REMEMBER FROM MR. OWENA" the days went by during our high school years, we were constantly reminded that "you can not afford to be anything less than ladies and gentlemen." This philosophy has become one of our tand~rds as we now begin a new phase of living after graduation. Another one of YJ:r. Owen's pet philosophies is that " a high school educ~­ tion will help you get what you like so that you won t have to like what you get." Mr. Roy Lawson ASSISTA NT PRINCIPAL "Wh adda you mean why? It's my school !" !Vlr. W. W. 01uen PRINCIPAL AND WE REMEMBER FROM M R. LAWSON- "That the student is the most impo rtant person in o ur business." We will always remembe r his fath e rly concern for us. He trea ted each of us like his own spec ial son or daughter. 'Tis true h e would get r o u g h with u s -but we usually had it coming . We are s ure h e loves every brick in this old (but wonderful ) building. One of Mr. Lawson's favorite sayings is "Don ' t push the panic button!" It wou ld be good for a ll o f u s to remember this phil osoph y as we a re fa ced with life's problems. COUNSELOR Mr. Merle Lesher The Guidance Department Sincere advice and fri endly smiles a re famili ar characteristics of our guidance counselor, Mr. Merle Lesher, and part-time counselor, Mr. William Sipes. Mr. Lesher's time is occupied with informing seniors about colleges, reporting test results, and investigating scholarships. Six tests a re given each yea r to the student body unde r his supe rvision. Mr. Sipes has been assigned half of each day to guide soph omores in the choice of subj ects for their future ca ree rs. Mrs. Robert Bowen, new to the Guidance Department this yea r, is M r. Lesher's sec retary. The Deans Assist DEAN OF GIR--LS ~ Mrs. Lucile Hoffman In conjunction with the Guidance Department Mrs. Lucile Hoffman and Mr. Gerald Ross help students with everyday problems. The Deans check excuses, issue admit cards, call parents concerning absences, and detect " truancies." They are sincere in their efforts to keep " delinquent" students on the beam. Counseling is available to all students if they will but accept it. COUNSELOR Mr. W illiam Sipes SECRETARY Mrs. Robert Bowen DEAN OF BOYS Mr. Gerald Ross 9 10 Mrs. Boyd Walker Mrs. Curt Maher Mrs. Rae Williams "Good morning, Abraham Lincoln High School . .. Mr. Lawson? . . . Just a moment, please" ... "Good morning, Abraham Lincoln High School . . . Yes, Mrs. Smith ... Oh, J'm sorry John is ill." .. . "Hello, Abraham Lincoln . Yes, Mr. Mourer, I'll tell Mr. Owen you called." These are the familiar sounds of a typical morning in the office of our sch ool as Mrs. Boyd Walker and Mrs. Curt Maher answer emergency calls. Mrs. Walker's other duties consist of keeping her eye on the sen ior reco rds and sending their transcripts to colleges and businesses. Her name has been synonymous with A.L.'s office staff for many years. She can really put you in your place with quiet dignity. Mrs. Maher keeps very busy reminding Mr. Owen of various events and preventing conflicts of activities. She is the official attendance clerk, also. Ranking with equal importance is Mrs. Rae Williams, treasurer. She wo rks with Mr. Owen to make sure the balances are not in the red. She knows the answer to all financial matters presented by student treasurers. A.L. students are lucky to have an experienced office force to " mother" them through typical teenage problems. Also, A.L. faculty members are lucky to have such pleasant co-workers to keep the records straight. "We'll let :\fr. Owen out of his sa fe when we're don e.' ' I I LIBRARIA . !Wiss Lucy Miller MISS LUCY MILLER Could you tell me how many people in the United Sta tes drink chocolate milk everyday? This is just one of the man y questi ons which might confront Miss Miller in our library. Miss Miller spends many hours of her own time reading book reviews and trying to decide whether or not the books will be helpful to A.L. stud ents. W e are grateful to Miss Miller for keeping our library running "quie tly" and smoothly. MRS. NORMA HEATON Dedicated to Special Services Mrs. Norma Heaton keeps herself busy dividing her time equally between the libraries of A.L. and T.J. She spends three days of the week helping Miss Miller with the detailed work of our library. This includes such duties as cataloging books and keeping the magazines in order after the students have rummaged through them. Mrs. Lou Johnson NURSE MRS. LOU JOHNSON LIBR AR Y SECRETARY Mrs. No rma H eaton The girls of A.L. are especially familiar with Mrs. Lou Johnson. our school nurse. She can be seen quite frequentl y on Tuesda ys and Thursdays in Mrs. Hoffman's offi ce . Mrs. J ohnson cares for all the "fatalities" which occur in the gym classes on these days. She also helps Miss Willard with some of the more intricate subj ects which are discussed in homemakinl! 5. Mrs. Mar')" Anderson BOOKKEEPING TYPING J.IJ '" If you want to ge t ahead, never give up.''

Elsewhere in the building you can hear the bells of typewriters and a warning voice saying, "Don't look at your keys!" In bookkeeping classes you may hear the familiar words "Remember to post." or a groan when the columns of the journals don't balance. The fine teachers in this department are to be commended for training students to earn their bread and butter the day after graduation.

The Social Studies Department History may repeat itself hut not to the extent that you don't have to study it diligently-especially before a unit test. Young Americans are more interested in the future than in the past. Therefore history is sometimes boring. However, they realize that to be good Americans they must study about America's heritage, as its future depends on the pa st and upon them.

Barn"'· - J --- I Cooks Behind every smoothly run cafeteria there must be an efficient staff of cooks. A.L. is no different. . Our cooks spend hours preparing hundreds of different dishes for our meals. No wonder so many pound;: have been put on this year! Admiring plants are i\Irs. Dolores Eyre, lVIrs. Adelaide Allen, Mrs. Alta Hiatt, i\Irs. Agnes Booton, and l\frs. Marjorie Haagensen. Custodians Can you imagine how many square feet of floor space and how many blackboards must be cleaned every day by our custodial staff? And what about getting out in 10-below-zero weather to scoop the snow off all the walks? These are just a few of the many tasks performed by our custodians. Theirs is an essential job with little or no recognition. Enjoying a c0ffee break are custodians Mr. Walter Knudsen, 1\fr. Lewis Tripp, Mrs. Zola Falk, Mr. Oliver Mutchler, and l\Ir.

Student Services READY, WILLING, and ABLE are three words which describe Mrs. Boyd Walker's assistants. These helpful girls perform various duties which include checking absences, attending the counter, and running errands for the office staff. These girls play a very important part in making our school more efficient. Linda Giles, Colette Hale, Gayle Hallenbeck, Carol Sue Spelma n, Jane Somers and Susan Petrus check on an absent stud ent. INVALUABLE is the word for Mrs. Hoffman's assistants. The jobs pe rformed daily by these fifteen g irls in the nurse's office include calling homes of students who are on the absence list, reco rding information on health cards, and consolin g "so-called" sick students. These girls are to be highly commended for the giving of the ir time to help fellow-students. Cheryl Woodward, Sharon Tate, J ocelyn Ca ry, Linda Prior, J udic Brotherton, Louise J orge nson, Leslee Giles, Grace Pyper and Linda De k h an t have " legal" exc uses for absences. J Forest Gunt er, Roger Robey, Phil Grego, Dave Miner, Orvill e Blue, Larry l\IcKern, Ervin Cook and David Graves wa sh dishes. The student body appreciates the service given by these boys and girls during fourth period each day. Besides having fun, they receive a small salary.

Seniors, as well as juniors, will neve r forget the weekly reminders about voting for the ca ndidates of their choosing. And of course, we'll neve r forget that exciting moment as we awaited the final announcement on Honor Day. It is difficult to depict the characteristics the lucky couple must possess, but we of the Yearbook Staff believe an attractive personality and active leadership are two important qualities. Friendliness to all and participation in extracurricular activities Patt y !l!lcMullen and Dave Ep·e A.L.H.S. Finalists are also held high in consideration for these honors. But above a ll , just be ing "well-liked" is the most important o f all the q ua lities. After upperclassmen h ave decided on the couple which h as allqined these traits, a first tall y is taken. From this g roup the top six couples are chosen, and the ir pictures a re then <lisplayecl. After pondering over the twelve ca ndid a tes, the fin al vote is cast, and the most popular boy a nd girl a re finall y selected.

My German family took a camping trip through Italy, Switzerland, Lichtenstein. and Austria. finally returning to Germany. Because , of this I wa~ able t~ s~e more of Europe than I had expected. While m Italy on our camping trip, I met three Danish boys, three boys from Holland, and a French boy. I guess the language of teenagers is universal because we had a great time together. My first haircut abroad was given by a female barber, and I'm sure it was the first time she had ever attempted a fl at top. It was really wild ! It definitely had to be cut by a U.S. barber before I could see any of my friends. Because of my experience I learned to appreciate more other peoples' way of life and culture. el:uf !mieberfehen Robert Schlott 66 ' '- { ~ (~ America is a wonderful co untry ! Since I came last August, I h ave lea rned a great deal about your way of living. American students are very fortunate because in Japan we have to take twelve subjects in one semester and study until one or two o'clock. Japanese hirrh school life which is all stud ying is a "grey life," but American students enjoy a "yellow or pink life." Also. we do not date or have pai:ties in my country so my first impression when I came to this country was that America was a "love co untry."

This enthusiasm was contagious to he r fellow students as she cheered the teams to victory. A cute " dresse r" with a chee ry smile is the way we' ll always remember Princess Judy Thomas.

So the Courtesy Club. sponsored by Miss Bianca McComb, was created. It was such an outstanding asset to our school that it was continued, and is now a permanent organization. The club is composed of 2-l- junior and senior girls who greet the public at school-sponsored activities. This year the girls chose official badges which gave the club a distinction. The highlight of the year is the " thank-you" banquet in the spring at which Mr. Owen is h ost on behalf of the school. These girls are most deserving of this honor. 83 The Student Council ROW 1: Kathy Nyquist, Dave Eyre, Patty McMullen, Linda Delehant.

Homemaking· Club The members of the Homemaking Club were especially creative at Christmas time this year. Each girl made and presented a new idea for Christmas decorations to the club. When Easter rolled around, several girls modeled ne"' spring fashions from a local depaitment store. One of the peppiest programs was presented by Miss Mildred Smock, city librarian, who reviewed several books in a most enticing manner. The art of cooking was enjoyed at a potluck dinner at the home of Miss Edna Willard, the sponsor, in the spring semester. According to tradition, the members honored their mothers and seniors at a colorful spring banquet.

As you know, not everyone is a born actor or actress, so those members who do not have very much natural talent must be content with such jobs as stage manager, make-up crew, or student director. If you are a patron of A.L. productions, you have no doubt seen most of these names on the prog rams.

"Annual" teaches many things-art, composition, grammar, promptness, salesmanship, and advertising. But aboYe alL it teaches creativeness and cooperati on. Informa lity is the keynote of the 1963 Crimson and Blue. It \ms a year of change as full-c olor pictures were used for the first time and the book 'ms divided according to seasons. All in all , it \rns a year of deadlines, headlines, and headaches, but combined with the merriment that was always evident, it proved to be a successful vear. The staff hopes that in the years to come, this book will bring back many cherished memories.

This board consists of school officials and the ROTC instructors who base their decisions upon the officers' abilities in leadership, scholarship, character, and extracurricular activities. Lt. Col. Stan Bahnsen and his lady, Miss Pat Gittins This year's ball was very each of the forty offi cers working in the gym. Colonel and Honorary Colonel Academically-minded Bob Schlott climaxed his four high school years of winning honors by becoming the forty-fourth Battle Group Commander at the annual Military Ball on April 5, 1963. Bob has been in the National Honor Society for the past two years and was elected president this year. He was A.L's American Field Service Exchange student last summer and has given his talk on Germany so many times he can recite it backwards. Bob rounded off his senior activities by participating in yarsity football. Petite and pretty Barb Kay was selected forty-fourth annual Honorary Colonel by a vote of all the ROTC cadets. Barb is one of A.L's most energetic cheerleaders. She is an active member of the Echoes staff and has participated in A.L's roadshows and plays. Barb's subtle humor, gift of gab, and her "down-toearth" personality have won her many friends. beautifully decorated since spent many weary hours Lt. Col.

A new addition to the staff this year, after the departure of Sfc. Wabel is S/ Sgt. Patrick Spiker. He, M/ Sgt. Lawrence Hale, and S/ Sgt. Donald Simmons are in charge of the training of almost 500 boys. This is quite a task ! They drill the cadets during the year in many fields of military training. The goal all strive for is an "honor rating" at Federal Inspection which is held annually at Kirn Field. Spe· cially designated Army officers review and rate the A.L. Battle Group. This year, along with many school activities to keep them occupied, M/ Sgt. Hale, S/ Sgt. Simmons, and Major Coatney have been mighty busy with their new babies. After a tiring day on the field, these men go home to "mark time" while they "walk the floor" with the "new arrivals." Major Loren C.

Under the training of S/ Sgt. Donald Simmons, it has paraded the colors at all home football and basketball games, the Military Ball, and Federal Inspection. Included in this group are Mitch Golden , Steve Hughes, Randy J ones, Lee Hansen, and Larry Molhoff. The Rifle Team, under the direction of S/ Sgt. Patrick Spiker, brought many honors to R.O.T.C. this year. One of the most outstanding was the trophy won at the 14th Corps Postal by Gene Moffatt for high individual score. The team as a whole did well in the Intercity League and placed third during the season. One remarkable aspect of our Rifle Team is that the whole team will be back next year.

This club is for all boys who have lettered in basketball, track, wrestling, footbail, tennis, golf, rifle, and baseball. These boys deserve commendation for all the hard work and effort they have to pµt out to keep A.L.'s standing high. By sponsoring several dances during the year, the club raised $400 and purchased a proj ector to be used by the athletic department. Next year a new addition to the club will be a girls' section for those girls who letter in tennis, track, or golf. 179 I, I, ' I I· R9W 1 : Roger McCurley, Dan Larsen, Fred Tedesco, Rich Bragg, Al Leber, Hugh McCurley.

The Baseball Season The Lynx had a fairly good hitting season this yea r but unfortunately their errors were many. As in the past, the Lynx were short when it came to seniors which should mean there will be better teams in the future.

Miss Sylvia Robertson, the girls' tennis coach, selected sixteen girls out of forty-five to play for the season. Tennis matches were played between other Southwest Iowa tennis teams. Four of the sixteen qualified to play in the ·spring District Meet in Red Oak. Girls' golf saw more action this season. However, experience was scarce. By the end of the season, many improved enough to earn major letters. Matches on the greens were played in calm and windy weather! Much to the surprise of everyone, including Mr. Dallas Hemenway, the coach, these girls placed fifth in the District Meet. Tennis ROW 1: Tammy Lykk e, Susan Eischeid, Mary Ann Garafalo, Diane Sieck.

The new friends, the old acquaintances, the football games under the crisp autumn skies, our victory over Prep, the hayrack rides, the parties, the Military Ball, the Prom, and neveT-to-be-forgotten GRADUATION- all these make 1964 the most memorable year yet! We've all come a long way in our years of seriousness and fun , and in the yea rs hence we hope your 1961. "Crimson and Blue" will refresh the fond memories of yesterday. -- 1 DEDICATION Miss Margaret Henderson has made Latin live in Abraham Lincoln High Sch ool for the last thirty-six years. Many generations in Council Bluffs have learned "amoamas-amat" from this gentle and understanding teacher. With a magical technique, she has combined current events and cultural appreciation with dailv assignments. We will remember her sincerity, her fri endliness, and her pleasant manner as refl ected in her neat and colorful room. It makes us very happy to dedicate the 1964 Crimson and Blue to Miss Henderson who served as its business manager for eight yea rs. We hope this book will become a cherished volume in her library of memori es. Sincerely. THE STAFF 5 6 MISS FA YE MARTY If you learned nothing else in second-year English, you knew The Tale of Two Cities and Silas Marner backwards and forwards! These were the two books best loved by Miss Faye Marty, sophomore English teaCtler. A very kind, warmhearted, and generous person, she was admired by her students. Although not too many students nowadays remember the lite rary societies at A.L. , Miss Marty sponsored the Thalian Literary Society which w o n many honors. She enjoyed this work very much, and we are sure her students have fond memo·ries of her as their sponsor. IN APPRECIATION Most of the ROTC students in the classes of '64 and '65 remember Sgt. Hale as one of the best-liked sergeants at A.L. Always good natured, we remember his tests and the "bull sessions" afterwards. We can still hear him saying, "Let me speak my piece and afterwards you can speak yours-if there is any time left." Last yea r he was voted the "most loyal fan" of the year since he was the favorite chauffeur of the basketball players and the wrestlers. "Sgt. Hale-we salute you for all your loyal support to A.L. " M./ SGT. LA WREN CE HALE JOHN FITZGERALD KENNEDY "And so my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you-aslc what you can do for your country." JOHN F.

MARSH 8 GROWING UP One of the pleasant things about reaching high school is that you are freer than ever before to make choices and decisions when many new privileges become yours. With this sudden growing up, some are slow to recognize that with new privileges and freedoms come new responsibilities and obligations. Your success in high school depends on the maturity you develop as you meet thP,se changes. VICE-PRINCIPAL 9 HOW TO WIN Keep the rules exactly. Keep faith with your fellow man. Keep your temper in control. Keep yourself physically, mentally, and mo-rally fit. Keep a strong heart in defeat. Keep your pride suppressed in victory. Play the game of life well. PRINCIPAL GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT MR. MERLE LESHER Senior Counselor MR. WILLIAM SIPES Junior Counselor Our guidance counselors work even harder (and better) this year since a new reception room and separate offices were built during the summer. These rooms provide privacy in counseling as Mr. Lesher, senior counselor; Mr. Sipes, junior counselor; and Mr. Lindsay, sophomore counselor, conduct their duties. Along with other tasks, they help students arrange their course of study for three years, thev help seniors fill out application" forms. and they supervise required tests. Another added "fixture" in this department is Mrs. James Somers, the new guidance secretary. With students assisting, she keeps the records, takes care of a mountain of correspondence, and distributes literature to interested students. Adding to the services of this department are the deans, Mrs. Hoffman and Mr. Ross, who issue admits and call homes concerning absent students. After many growing pains, the Guidance Depart· ment is now smiling with encouragement and helpful advice. 10 MRS. LUCILE HOFFMAN Dean of Girls MR. GEORGE LINDSAY Sophomore Counselor MRS. JAMES SOMERS Secretary MR. GERALD ROSS Dean of Boys l_ U Secretaries Mrs. Boyd F. Walker has devoted over 30 years of service to Abraham Lincoln High School as a member of the office staff. She prides herself on the fact that she can remember nea rl y all the graduates who return to say " hello." She has charge of all the girls who work in the office-quite a task for anyone! Her "wa tchful eye" takes care of all class records and seni or transc ripts. Although she may be small, she can handle even the most unrul y studen ts with her patience and calm manner. This year brought a new challenge-the dry photo-copier for reproducing senior transcripts. The future will undoubtedly bring many more problems, but we all kn ow that Mrs. Walker can meet any emergency. MRS. BOYD F. WALKER Mrs. Curt Maher makes the fri endly a tmosphere in the office seem even fri endlier. She strives to learn the spelling and pronunciation of the names of all A.L's students so she can call everyone by his or her first name. Her special duty as a member of the office staff is to check and record the attendance-a revolting development when there a re three or four studen ts with the same name. You can also see why one of her pet peeves is the student who is known by several different names. I If this is one of your idiosvncracies-watch out!) She has worked in the office almost twelve yea rs. Since Mr. Owen came to A.L. in 1958, she has been his private sec retary and the "chief" offi ce typist. ·- ~ MRS. CURT MAHER Mrs. Rae Williams has done a tremendous job keeping track of eve ry penny earned and spent by every organization at A.L. for the last twelve years. Just think of all the money that has passed through her hands! She also has the problem of coping with the miscalculations of student treasurers. Skulls seem mighty thick sometimes, but when you finally learn why you add this and subtract that, you'll neve r forget your lesson. Her money problems are different from those of o~ t people. She has charge of money taken in at games. plays, operettas. picture packets and magazine sales. I.D. card sales are a lso her responsibility. Tha t means "oodles" of money thrown her way at once. But, even so, she's a calm soul-not easily ruffled . But when ruffled-WOW! i\ITRS. R i\E WILLI i\ \IS 11 12 MRS. VIOLA BICHEL -Un~v y of Nebraska Vocal Music RONALD R.

Office Helpers David Lubbe helps the other Guidance Office assistants Joan Minikus Kathy Fairbairn, Karen Stohlmann, Barbara Bowen, Sheryl Hunt, Martha Beno, Sharon Michalski and Virginia Martin file college bulletins. A new attraction this year was the Guidance Office and naturally with it came the need for assistants. These students did such jobs as file homeroom folders, make appointments for conferences wit.h the counsellors, count ballots for various elections and arrange college bulletins. Mrs. Walker's assistants relieve the pressure in the office by answering the phone, locating students for Mr. Owen, checking the attendance each hour and checking the menu-especially just before noon. The Dean's Assistants-better known as the girls in the nurse's room-have various jobs. They check the absentee list for "skippers" and "doctor" minor wounds. Sometimes we wonder how many band-aids they really use. All these students, on a voluntary basis, sacrifice a study hall each day for their respective jobs. Standing outside the nurse's room discus- sing the "Small Pox" warning are Grace Pyper, Jane Somers, Carol Spetman, Linda Porter, Patty Mullen, Sue Petrus, Diana Taylor, Beverly Springer, Linda Caughey, Carolyn Delaughter, Sharon Tate, Darlene Estes, Linda Delehant and Patty Moore. 17 Larry Beggs, Bob Opal, Irvin Cook, Leslie Kennedy, and Steve Means practice what they preach: "Drink milk." Bill Townsend, Mike Johnston, Wendell Vincent, Ray Howard, and Larry Putnam discuss striking for less hours and bigger lunches.

But we wouldn't be so happy if it weren't for these people who give up a study hall to serve as check-out girls, milk-dispenser boys, and bus boys. We thank these people who work fourth period while we're feeding our faces. Pat Minor and Sharon Arterburn give all their money to the smiling "gangstress," Kathy Brandt.

It was made of portage stone from Lake Superior and cost approximately $6,792. The basin is thirty-two feet across and the fountain stands twenty-five feet high. Colored lights have illuminated it since 1954. Many people can remember the "popcorn lady" who stood on a corner for many years. Shoppers and businessmen alike often relax in the restful atmosphere.

A smiling girl with a wholesome philosophy of service to others, she will be a great asset in any business office. Escorted by Rob Clouse, she was crowned by Jerry Thomas and received roses from Dan Southard. Completing the pageantry of the evening were Princesses Grace Pyper and Judy Medley. Princess Grace was on the Gold Honor Roll four years and was most active in vocal music. Truly a talented girl with dancing eyes, she was a charming Princess on the arm of Prentice Besore. The sparkling personality of blonde and vivacious Judy Medley made her a favorite of A.L. students. Judy, who was a member of the golf team, was escorted by Don Berry. Homecoming· A crisp, clear night greeted A.L's Homecoming crowd. The field was aglitter with the school colors and the girls were resplendent in their matching outfits and shiny, new convertibles. Although our team lost, it was a hard-fought battle and provided a number of thrills for the spectators. The climax came as Kathy Mattox was crowned Homecoming Queen, 1963. The game itself was preceded by a parade in the afternoon. There were three floats-one from each class, several convertibles carrying the Homecoming Court, and one carrying the cheerleaders. The top five season-ticket sellers rode the senior float. The parade was an innovation-a spirit booster for Homecoming events. !Princess Juc!J 39 Football ... on the Way 40 The 1 ~ Lynx football sq uad comprised one of th e largest number of boys to compete in football at A.L.H.S.

Lambie Prowder wore glasses and found Dorothy Parker all too right about them. She had brains, but what's the good of brains to a 16-y'ear-old girl? What she needs is charm and plenty of it, if she is to compete with Harty and Corney, wonderful, grown-up 17- year-olds with all that it takes to make life worth living.

If the Student Council is ever to assume its proper place as a strong student government, there will have to be a new enthusiasm from the representatives, the student body, and the faculty. Enthusiasm will produce better ideas for projects, and co-operation in making these ideas realities. The faculty and administration must delegate student matters to the Student Council, and then the Council must prove itself by handling these matters efficiently.

Being a happy individual and a friend of everyone, it is easy to see why Deanna was elected. A smiling junior Princess, Marilee Wilder, was escorted by Tom Gillespie, captain of the. wres· tling team. Judy Clodfelder, a quiet and sweet sophomore Princess, was escorted by Steve Raiser, the rifle team captain. Winter Sports Royalty Friday, December 13, 1963, was a very unlucky day for A.L. when our basketball team lost to T.J. However, it was a lucky day for Deanna Jennings, Marilee Wild'er, and Judy Clodfelder who were crowned winter royalty at the dance following the game. This was the first year that a winter sports queen and attendants were elected. As the Queen and her Princesses walked down a sparkle-strewn path toward a colorful red, white, and blue platform, one could tell by their faces that this was one Friday the 13th they would long remember.

The food was delicious and we stuffed ourselves but we ran it off later in a scavenger hunt. The prize trophies were two "for sale" signs. During the Christmas vacation the gang dressed up real fin e and had dinner at the Club Bellevue. After that, everybody went to Tammy Lykke's house to sing and dance. On "Skip Day" Darrell Seidler hosted a potluck at his home. Canasta, poker and Monday Night at the Mov ies topped off this evening.

W. Clarke The Junior Red Cross is a service group com· posed of representatives of the thirty-five homerooms throughout school. This organiZation helps acquaint the student with the valuable work of the Red Cross. Its annual project consisted of filling boxes to be sent to deprived children overseas. This was made possible by the cooperation of each homeroom. The Junior Red Cross also sponsored a hootenanny. The proceeds from this event were used in filling a wooden chest with educational, recreational, and medical supplies to be sent to foreign countries. Members of this group also lend a willing hand when they are needed to distribute health pamphlets in downtown areas. The Junior Red Cross accomplishes much by helping students develop an insight into c:ommunity service and responsibility. The "Blue Light Singers" were featured at the hootenanny. 119 ECHOING VIGOROUSLY, JUSTLY, AND WITHOUT PREJUDICE F ll t t ff en1bers were Carolyn DeLaughter, Rebecca Collignon, Deanna Jennings, a semes er s a m · d · h I ·1 I · I Jack Nolan, and Bob Pulley.

Dear Future FTA Members: We've had such an eventful and interesting year in FTA that I thought you might be interested in the highlights. As future teachers, we gain experience "taking over" classes for regular teachers, and some of us serve as their assistants-helping with routine duties, delivering absentee lists and passes, and other little "tid-bits." We were proud hosts to the 1963 District Convention held in the A.L. auditorium and climaxed the afternoon with a dance. One of the most exciting activities we had this past year was a tour of the Iowa State University Campus at Ames, which included meetings and interesting speakers in regard to education. We had to decline a dinner invitation at a Fraternity House because time ran out and the bus was ready to leave. (Sob!) As we are the largest IT A in the state, it is our hope, that as future members, you will help to retain that record and that you will also keep our school well represented with State and District officers as we have. The IT A is a fulfilling experience, mixed with fun and work, and the acquiring of new friends. Best of Luck! Future Teachers of America P .S. Pictures Enclosed! "Do you see what I see-Food?"

Organized to help teenagers develop an interest in politics and government, the TAR's have become active on the A.L. scene. Some of the members went to Davenport, Iowa, for the First Republican National Mock Convention where they represented the state of Florida. Members also went to Des Moines as Jr. Delegates to the Iowa Presidential Nominating Convention. Programs during the year concerned the history and ideals of the Republican Party. The major project of the year was a mock presidential convention attended by over 200 TAR's from Iowa. The TAR's have enjoyed picnics, potlucks, and a come-as-you-are breakfast.

To Mr. MaherTrack boys have been most for· tunate in the last several years in hav· ing a sincere and enthusiastic track coach in Mr. Fred Maher. This year was a "star" year again for track men. It is true that Mr. Maher has been assisted by Mr. 1 ack Watson but even he says that Mr. Maher is "The Best Track Coach Of The Year" just like it says on the trophy which the boys presented to him at the spring sports picnic. :\fr. Maher and th e Clio .'\wa rd DANNY SOUTHARD JERRY THOMAS The '64 Lynx baseball squad was plagued with poor hitting and lacked experienced pitchers. Southpaw Danny Southard was the only pitching veteran to return from last year. The other members of the pitching staff, Dean Collier, Denny Zimmermai;i, and Mike Moore were used very little. Defensive errors proved costly to the Lynx throughout the season as well as in the District Tournament. After beating T.J. last year 4-3 for the Distri ct Championship, the Lynx bowed 7-2 this year to let T.J. regain this title. ROB CLOUSE In the Intercity League, A.L.'s scorebook shows some odd fa cts. With the exception of Benson, the Lynx defeated all teams with highe r ratings than theirs, and lost to all teams with lower ratings. In nearly all games the Lynx out-hit their opponents, but failed to score the necessary runs to win. With a little depth in pitching, the '65 season should be very promising. A.L. acquired new uniforms this yea r and remained one of the few teams to have a batting cage and a pitching machine. 149 SCOREBOARD We They L ______ ___ ___ ___ ____ __ Bishop Ryan ------------··------------------------------ 6 o ___ _____________ _____ ___ Benson ---------·-- --- ·------------------------------------- - 1 7_. ______ __ ______ ________ Central ------------------------------------------------------ 10 3 ____ __ _____ __ _____ _____ Des Moines Tech --------------------·------------------- 4 L ____ __________ ________ Des Moines Tech ---------------------------------------- 0 10 ___ ______ ____________ __ Treynor ____ ___ ___ ------------------------------------------- 0 5 ________ ___ __ ___ ________ North ____ __ ·---- _. ·-------------------------------------------_ 2 2. ----------------- ....

The Golf Team Compared to last year our varsity golfers have improved immensely this year. In the Intercity Meet our boys came in 5th compared to last place a year ago. In the District Meet, A.L. placed 3 rd out of eight teams and just missed 2nd place, which qualified them for State. But ~e didn't lose out completely because T yler Borman put in his score and qualified for State. The golf team averages 10 meets a season of which most are in town at Dodge Park. The invitational meets are out of town. Out of 20 or 25 boys, 3 are picked for the Varsity Squad. These boys were: Tyler Borman, Rick Young, Walter Kaltenborn, John Jensen, Paul Erickson, Mike McKeown, Bill Cutler, and Dennis Doty. Most of the Varsity Team will be returning next year.

The tennis team was filled with sp1nt, especia lly in the doubles team of Lynn Manhart a nd Prentice Besore who won 8 of their 11 d oubles matches in regular season play. In the Intercity Tournament, they lost both the singles and doubles although Westside, who was 2nd, just barely heat our doubles team. In the Iowa District Tournament. we entered two doubles teams. These were Manhart a nd Besore plus Pa ul Ell erbeck a nd Richard Stoufe r. who had played 1st and 2nd singles during the regular season. Manhart a nd Besore were beaten in the semi-finals of the District but Elle rbeck and Stou fer took 2nd m the District. Next year looks more promising as the team is losing just one letterma n and there are some other good tennis players in the offing.

Phyllis Kelso turned in a fin e showing at the Distri ct and Squaw Relays. The 440-Relay Team placed 5th and the Shuttle Medley Team qualified at Red Oak.

She was a stately, dignified lady who contributed to the good of the community constantly. She served as the only woman on the Council Bluffs School Board for many years. This is only one example of her service without any thought of reward. Because of her philosophy of unselfish service she believed many students gave unselfishly of themselves. Therefore, she established the Dr. Erickson-Hill award which is a trophy awarded to a senior girl for unselfish service to the school. Marjorie Cox, the recipient this year, went to school seven periods a day so as to serve on the Yearbook Staff, work in the office and carry her regular academic subjects. Marjorie gave scores of hours to accompanying students in the Vocal and Instrumental Music Departments. Her church counts on her weekly for musical contributions. Marjorie was a most worthy winner. "Careful now, no tears! !" 201 Message From Che Cha: This year in the United States has been a wonderful experience to me. I have lea rned many things about your education, life, and customs that I didn't know before. Also I'm very happy because I had the opportunity to tell you about my native Colombia and its customs. I understand and appreciate better this beautiful country and I will keep always a great remembrance for A.L. and all the nice people that I met there . Message From Grace: My one dream has always been to travel abroad-to Germany. My wish came true last summer. During my two and a half months stay in Europe, I had many wonderful experiences. A trip to East and West Berlin climaxed my trip. Message From Carol Sue: I was the American Field Service exchange student to Turkey. The Ozyurt family, consisting of my mother, a sister and a brother, took me into their hearts and home. The summer proved to be a rich and rewarding experience.

Today you embark on a day when the world is asking, begging and pleading for you to do something other than gather means of life. It is waiting for you to come up with some answers on h ow we can live together in a peaceful world.

Loud shirts and shorts made a cool evening "warmer" at the Commencement party at the Elks Country Club from 11 p.m. until (?) for seniors and their dates for $1. (What a fight! ) Everyone had a big time dancing to Beatie records and to the music of Claus Thiles and his cohorts who arrived at 1 :30 a.m. (Where were you fellows?) Coke, 7-Up, scrambled eggs, rolls, sausages and milk plus refreshments at many open-houses gave everyone a royal "hangover" the next day. Bob Gittins and Ken Karr made a darling couple while dancing a waltz, to say nothing of the " nit-wits" wh o went in swimming. (And it didn't rain!)

Abraham Lincoln Hig h School is studies -math, German, histo r y, English, sh o p , business, and many other subjects. Abraham Lincoln Hi g h Schoo l is dream s and r eality, plans and projects-all products of thinking. From contrasting viewpoints, Abraham Lincoln Hig h School is many activities. Cheerl eade rs jumping for joy, football players reaching for aerial passes, fl oa ts creeping down Bluff Street, stu· dents practicing for a pla y, girls gl iding across the gym floor at the Military Ball, and cymbals splitting your eardrums-these are many pictures of life at Abraham Lincoln Hig h Sc hool. The quiet scratch of pencils o n exam papers, th e silent turning of pages in the library, the rin g in g of bells, th e rushing to classes, the greeting of friends-these make up a vibrant pic ture of a day at A.L. High. Students and fa culty are proud of Abraham Lincoln High School- its peeling walls and c rowded classrooms- because they know that the learning within its old walls has set the pattern of the present and will form the kaleidoscopic pi c ture of the future. Therefore, the KALEIDOSCOPE has been selected as the theme of the 1965 Crimson and Blue. 3 4 MR. H. ARTHUR LEE Dedication The Echoes has echoed "vigorously, justly and without prejudice" for 34 years with Mr. H. Arthur Lee as editor-in-chief, ad manager, pressman, errand boy, repairman, and adviser all rolled in one. Dozens of basketball teams and hundreds of fans have appreciated his loyalty as timekeeper, as have scores of boys who have worked in Hi-Y under his sponsorship. Adults on the streets hail him with "Hi, Art" as they recall his oftime repeated stories about the bird and his new white suit, his "talk-of-the campus raincoat," and his ability to know when earthquakes occur. It takes an attitude of calmness and undying interest to meet deadline after deadline in the publishing business without developing ulcers. The world produces few m en as tolerant as Mr. Lee, who has withstood broken-down presses, rising costs of paper, ledgers in the red, and untrained students to publish an Echoes each week. The 1965 Crimson and Blue Staff takes sincere pleasure in dedicating its publication to Mr. H. Arthur Lee for his diligent work in supervising the production of some 700 Echoes depicting weekly activities in Abraham Lincoln High School. May the memories captured in this b ook be among your treasured souvenirs of your years at Abraham Lincoln High Sch ool. MISS EDNA WILLARD Students of American History, who had Mr. Don Thomas for a teacher, receiv ed a rounded explanation o.f the Civil War-one of his fav orite units. Every class started off with a bang as he announced the " big binuss" of the hour. When school opened each semester, some lSO students were heard to exclaim, "How lucky ca n I get! l got Mr. Thomas for America n History !" Proof of his popularity among the student body was revealed each yea r as he was elec ted one of the junior class sponsors. Each ad ditional activity, however, just seemed to add to his enthu siasm. Even the chocolate sales did not defeat him and what a riot that was each yea r! Proms, baseball, basketball, and football left very little spare time for him personally, but he loved every minute spent with students outsicle the classroom in a closer fri endship. During his nine yea rs on the Abraham Lincoln faculty, "Don Juan" made many fri ends among the staff and student body. His smiling disposition and youthful zip are sadly missed. May the future bl ess him . We Express Appreciation "If you don't learn anything else from me, always remember to live within your income." This was one of Miss Edna Willard's favorite pieces of philosophy. After 30 years of teaching homemaking, plus the sponsorship of the Clio Literary Society and the Homemaking Club, Miss Willard retired last year. Several generations of girls will remember those long hours spent clipping articles for their homemaking notebooks. Also, who could forget the class readings and reports which were ALWAYS due. These were all a part of Miss Willard's training of future homemakers. She was very conscientious and sincere as she attempted to mold young girls into mature and responsible young women capable of meeting life after graduation. Underneath her firm opinions and advice was a sensitive spirit filled with compassion. She was skillful in her techniques and exemplified all her teachings. In recognition of her many years of service to Abraham Lincoln students, the 1065 Crimson and Blue Staff offers this spetial " thank you." MR. DON THOMAS 5 6 cademics In fitting together the many facets o f a design for living, teachers and administration supply the impetus-aca demics. When glancing over the pages of this, the I 965 Crimson a nd Blue, memories will he fill ed with fun a nd excitement. Pause from your memories and reflect upon the serious m oments of learning. It seems difficult for students to bring into foc us the varying patterns of their high school years. Those years flew b y in such a brilliant flash that students matured a nd became vic tims of adult responsibilities before they could even catch the ir b reaths. Each achievement in life, every action , ever y decision h as been the product of hours of patient instruction by ~ar nts and teachers alike. As teachers and students worked together, in a nd out of the classroom, each one stimulated the thinking of the other. In one school year, a whole new group of students a nd faculty touched each other and left an impression. F o r each student, there will be one or two teach ers who stand o ut esp ecially in memory. These teachers were challen ging, philosophical, sympathetic, witty and above all, human. As you turn the kaleidoscope, every piece falls into place. Academics created this design for living. 7 8 Capable Men Directed the Year MR. WILLIAM OWEN, Principal Mr. Roy Lawson has been a pillar of assistance in the office of Vice-Principal for many years. A multitude of difficult problems has crossed his desk, but he has solved each one in his firm but diplomatic way. His educational background included a B.S. degree from Parsons College and a M.A. degree in history from Creighton University. White at Parsons, he met a charming girl, Louise Simpson whom he married after graduation. They both taught school then -he in high school and she in elementary school. Mr. and Mrs. Lawson have two sons, Douglas and Jerry. These boys were outstanding athletes just like their Dad. With all his energy, Mr. Lawson needed variation with his classroom duties, so he decided to coach. During the 20 years he coached, his team was successful in reaching the State Basketball Tournament twice. Among other exciting episodes in his life were being awarded the Seratoma Mankind Award and the dedication of the Crimson and Blue. None of these outstanding events quite measured up to being a grandfather three times, however. His doctor son, Douglas, has two girls and a boy who are most proud of their Uncle Jerry who is a lawyer. For some 30 years, students at Abraham Lincoln have looked to Roy Lawson as a counselor and a friend-one who would give his last ounce of strength to help a young person. The father of Mr. William Owen decided that young Bill should go to Iowa State Teachers at Cedar Falls. It was here that Mr. Owen's father received the best job offer when looking for a college town for a new residence for his family. Here Mr. Owen majored in physical education and minored in agriculture and social studies. Like all teachers, he taught in a series of towns inc reasin g in population with each of his moves. Elkport, Marquette, Waukon, and Grinnell were all chapters in his teaching career. At Elkport, Marylin increased the family to three and then Robe rt joined the clan at Marquette. Recognizing that top promotions depended on a Master's Degree, Mr. Owen took graduate work at Iowa University where he secured this coveted degree. When the principalship at Abraham Lincoln became vacant, he decided he would apply since Abraham Lincoln was by tradition a great school in the State of Iowa. In his words: "I'm glad I came. There's never a dull moment! " Out of school, Mr. Owen enjoys golf, reading, fishing, spectator sports and romping with his six grandchildren-all g randsons! The Crimson and Blue Staff takes this opportunity to thank Mr. Owen for his patience and his time and energy in solving problems for the biggest class to graduate from Abraham Lincoln High School. MR. ROY LAWSON, Vice-Principal The Office Was the Hub of Activity MRS. BOYD WALKER Office Manager MRS. CURT MAHER Secretary Who could keep their wits with all the office hubbub and take care of an assigned task? Why, the office ladies, of course. They took care of all the red tape in running an overcrowded high school plus a thousand extra panics a day. Starting at 6 a .m. and not ending until after 5 p.m. sometimes, Mrs. Boyd Walker, office manager, had a very busy day. Ill members on the faculty started calling Mrs. Walker before 6 which required her to call substitutes immediately. Many of her days were filled with figuring senior averages for college entrance purposes. She calculated junior averages also for National Honor Society requirements. Mrs. Curt Maher, whose day was no shorter, was in charge MRS. RAE WILLIAMS Bookkeeper of checking and recording the attendance, which would give anyone gray hairs in a day. She was chief office typist and since 1958 has been Mr. Owen's priva te secretary. Mrs. Rae Williams, who completed the trio, was responsible for the dollcrrs and cents angle at Abraham Lincoln. Money associated with any Abraham Lincoln activity was handled by Mrs. Williams and if you didn't know how to balance books before you became a treasurer, you knew after you learned from Mrs. Williams. Somehow, students and fa culty members alike felt that every - thing would come out all right as long as the office ladies were present to answer questions and unravel problems.

GEORGE LINDSAY Sophomore Counselor MRS. LA WREN CE WORKMAN Secretary Departrnen t Source of Guidance Was a Friendly Help The guidance counselors almost resigned! The reason? IBM registration! The first two weeks of September found the guidance office packed with students clutching their registration cards and change-of-schedule slips. The automatic computers thought two subjects and five study halls an ideal schedule, but the counselors and the assistant principal disagreed. Despite the heat and the crowd in that little corner room, mistakes were corrected and the crowds were thinned to a trickle by the third week. After this confusion, the normal pace of administering tests and advising students seemed quite calm. Six sets of tests were administered to seniors anticipating college, to juniors seeking examination experience, and to sophomores wishing to establish their IQ. Everyday traffic in the department included seniors seeking advice on colleges and scholarships. Other students asked about job opportunities in various fields. Mid-term and semester tests brought increased a ctivity again. Phones rang and students awaited appointments with worried faces as teachers, parents, and students conferred with the counselors about failures. Mr. Merle Lesher, senior counselor, grew smarter each day about colleges and scholarships. Mr. George Lindsay and Mr. Richard Schoeppner were baffled constantly by soph omores and juniors who had no definite goals for their lives. The Deans, Mrs. Lucile Hoffman and Mr. Gerald Ross, sought the cooperation of this department concerning absence and drop-outs. Filing, recordkeeping, correspondence and research were the duties of the new secretary, Mrs. Lawrence Workman, and her student assistants. This department has at last become an integral and coordina ted facet in school administration, but its major assistants will always be each teacher in each classroom, who is the closest counselor a student will ever have. MR. RUSSEL MOURER Superintendent MR. RAYMOND JONES Assistant Superintendent The Directors Worked and Worried The School Board was most elated on the evening of February 8 1965, when the election returns came in establishing the fact that 71.2 % of the votes cast supported the bond issue. This bond issue of $1 % million will pay for the third phase of Eastside, an addition to Thomas Jefferson, and an addition to Walnut Grove. According to plans, Eastside will become Abraham Lincoln High School in the fall of 1966. Other major accomplishments included a critical analysis of several phases of the two high schools, the adoption of the federal lunch program, and an admirable raise in teachers' salaries.

Vital Personnel Worked Hungry students at Abraham Lincoln were lucky lo h ave seven of the peppiest cooks in the world to look after feeding them in four of the shortest lunch periods in the wo rld. On Fridays or other game days, these ladies wore their Crimson and Blue aprons and added to school spirit with every word and a smile . Their bulletin board, attractively decorated in the current h oliday theme, always displayed news items and pictures about A.L. students. And the food? Land sakes! Food is food when one is sta rvingespecially during fourth lunch. The chili was g reat and the pie was luscious. A.L. students were sure their cooks were the friPndliest in the world. Another fact was that the school would h ave been in worse shape than it was without the custodians. Their e ffitiency in cleaning and repairing an old building like A.L. deserved m ore than one medal. The winter was rough but the new snow plow helped solve "deep" problems. And just remember-the rooms were warm-yes-even HOT! Some students would have missed an education had it not b een for the bus drivers. Like the custodians, their work was hampered by bad weather but they made it without accident. The student body is grateful to the cooks, the student assistants, the custodians and the bus drivers for e ffi cient service the past year. Da n Fleming, 1 im fi !'m in .

To some it was W ord Power, spelling tests and dreaded book reports- To others it meant long hours of study for class preparation and a good grade. The teachers in this department prided themselves in cultivating an appreciation of the works of the great American and English authors in their students. Ability to use correct English in everyday life was a foremost aim of all courses. Creative writing, a new course in the curriculum, offered an opportunity for imaginative students to use their talents in composing short stories, essays, and poetry. Those students also "learned the value of literary criticism and mechanics. Speech and debate were elective subj ects for some of the rnore ambitious students. Such courses developed confidence and poise in speaking. Journalism was the only vocational co urse taught in the English department. It was devoted entirely to newspaper wntrng, editing, and production of The Echoes. Students were also taught to interpret newspapers rnore intelligently. Through literature and composition, all students received a sound basis for college work or a job. One of t11e many aims of English was to develop the crea tive abilities ol each student. 17 18 TOMAS M. LARA B.A.-Omaha Un ive rsity Spanish SPONSOR: S panish Club COACH: Wreq ling i\IRS.

Why was this? Starting in the elementary schools, they were taught English while Americans did not begin foreign language study usually until high school days. However, a new trend has begun in the American elemen-- tary schools so that the language barrier will eventually disappear. German, Latin, and Spanish comprised the Foreign Language Department last year. All the instructors were new except the Spanish teacher, so new ideas were introduced. All the teachers stressed pronunciation and basic grammar, especially the German and Spanish teachers. Latin students learned about Roman culture through special µrojects and reports. Every student who studied a foreign language contributed his part to a world united in peace. "Rats-this gives me claustrophobia."

Worn and out-of-date books had to be removed from the shelves and records had to be kept on the one hundred books circulated each day. Maps, pictures, pamphlets, clippings, and magazines were also circulated. In the fall of 1964, over fiv e hundred new books were ordered to meet the many requests of students and teachers. High on the popularity list were Th e Ugly American and To Kill a Mockingbird. The librarians were somewhat handicapped b y the lack of space.

Now, 0 more than ever, math has become an important link m the chain of higher learning. Due to the advancement of science and technology. more pressure has been put on the students and teachers. College math has been pushed into the high school curriculum, while some geometry is even taught to kindergarteners. This has resulted in problems for all concerned since parents who could usually help their children with math now find their methods are out-of-date. Despite the confusion caused by progress, students _e~ rn d _how to think logicall y as they became better educated citizens m a scientific world.

BROOKS M.A.-Colorado College Physics Science Opened MICHAEL FREEMAN B.A.-Statc College of Iowa Physical Science Biology opened a new world of life to sophomores as they learned a little bit more about themselves as human beings. Students viewed microscopic life in different phases and examined organisms during laboratory periods. Botany and the function of chlorophyll were studied extensively. Independent study or projects climaxed this department's work. Chemistry, physics, and physical science stimulated juniors and seniors. In chemistry, students learned everything from bending glass to the complicated process of analyzing one's unknowns. Physics and its related mathematics proved to be a stumbling block to some as they struggled and worried with the m ysteries of light, sound, and movement. A new course entitled physical science was added to the science department to en able the increased enrollment to fulfill the three-year science requirement. This course involved topics in chemistry, physics, astronomy, geology, and meteorology. Room 303 was equipped with new science furniture, making five science laboratories.

J ean Ann Cairney accompanied diligently for the sophomore musical. Fine Arts Departrnen t It has been said that music is a lan<Yuarre understood by all. 0 0 Not only was it understood, but it was interpreted in ma ny ways by the Fine Arts Department. Whether it was "My Fair Lady", half-time performances of the band, or the Christmas Card Contest, the results of these talents were pleasing and well-received. Innovations were numerous in all phases of Fine Arts. As a climax of early spring casting, intensive fall practicing, and final polishing, "My Fair Lady" became the top production of the year. "Amahl and the Night Visitors", and "So this is PARIS" rounded out a superior year in the Vocal Music Department. Not only the operettas, but also the Christmas and Spring Conc.erts were under the able baton of Mrs. Viola Bichel a nd Mr. David Linkey. The Instrumental Music Department had a peak yea r with Mr. Bill Armstrong. His contagious enthusiasm injected new morale which caused enrollment in both band and orchestra to climb to a new high. To top off the year, Rog and Scotty contributed $6,000 to put the band uniform fund over its goal. The year closed with the annual Spring Concert given for parents and friends. In the Art Department, students had an opportunity to express themselves in many media: charcoal, pencil, ink, paint, and clay· The Christmas Card Contest and the City Art Fair were challenges to some as they developed hidden talents. Others worked long and hard to create winning entries in state a nd national competition. Not all capable students had room for art in their already crowded schedules, but those who did, profited in increased skill and enjoyment. Members of this department looked to Mrs. Berniece Ross for inspiration, instruction, critic ism, and guidance as they attempted to express their feelings in a tangible way for the enjoyment of themselves and others.

These sounds represented students diligently pre· paring for a career. The skills learned in these classes became the tools of trade for future bookkeepers, stenographers, and secretaries, and are the wheels which will keep the business world of tomorrow running smoothly. Shorthand I and II students grew bored with ilie daily drills and stared with disbelief at a second-year student speeding along at 120 words per minute. Low muttering and cautious pecking could be heard in the first-year typing classes as students steathily peeked at the keys and grabbed for erasers. This year brought an innovation to Mrs. Mary Anderson's bookkeeping classes. To make the class more interesting, students formed a company with Mrs. Anderson as the president. The students were then divided into departments, and competition took place to finish segments of the project. Projects such as this were used to instill in the student a sense of competition as it will be encountered, without the sheltered atmosphere of high school out in the business world. Motivation was high in this department since students realized these were bread-and-butter courses to be used the day after graduation. Deanna Nelson, Cheryl Nation, and Carol Moore are found deep in con- centration in office practice class.

With some proddjng, Mr. Worley confessed that women were the better drivers but added that men were more skilled. The accident records proved that Mr. Worley was an exper~ in his field of study, for only two driving mishaps were registered. Mr. Worley stated that although he had his trying moments, driving was fun for both himself and his students.

"What's going on m there?" many students asked as they passed the Vocational Agriculture building on South Main. "There are lots of things going on,'' answered Mr. William Yager, Vocational Agriculture Instructor. The sophomores studied the various breeds of livestock while the juniors studied agronomy which is the theory and practice of field crop production and soil management. The seniors studied farm management where they applied knowledge gleaned from the previous years. All three years were intermingled with various shop projects. Mr. Yager had numerous crop test plots for ch ecking different varieties and the yields of various crops. In th is way, h e felt that the boys learned by doing, since the best farming prac tices were put into use. Mr. Yager is a member of the Missouri Air Guard and is very much interested in flying. When asked abo ut future plans he said, "I plan to go into farming this spring to .prac tice what I have been preaching."

Soccer and field hockey were played on the football field in the fall. When winter forced the classes inside, attention was focused on volleyball and basketball. Tournaments held in both sports gave the girls a taste of athletic competition. Girls also received instruction in trampoline and tumbling to develop better balance, coordination and poise. Warm spring weather let the classes move outside to softball, and track and field events. For added variety and to complete the year's activities, classes were held in badminton and tennis. Physical education classes for sophomore and junior boys were held in the National Guard Armory under the direction of Mr. "No wonder her stomach is .upset." Bernadette O'Connor demonstrated the ect?? cartwhePI form. "Mum's the word," for the physical education boys after pre-class calisthenics. Beasley and Mr. Carr. Two days a week the boys were forced to make the trek to the Armory for classes, since the gymnasium was used for girls' physical education. Instruction was centered on activities which build strength and coordination. Three games using a volleyball were played: crab soccer, volleyball softball, and volleyball. Nltw gymnastic equipment made instruction in gymnastics possible, along with tumbling. With warm weather allowing the classes to move outside, the boys participated in softball and track on Kirn Field. As a climax to the year and to check the progress of each pupil, physical fitness tests were administered, separating the men from the boys. WILLIAM T.

Basis of the selec ti on was patrio tism , le adership, citizenship, and character. Claudia was required to write an essay, and sh e was inte rviewed by representatives from the local chapter as part of the competiti o n. Pert and pretty Claudia was an excell ent selec tion. As an outgrowth o f strong lea d e rship in the youth group in the United Church of Christ, she was appointed to seve ral sta te committees planning state youth activities for her church. Claudia's name appeared stea dil y o n the Honor Rolls, and she was elected to the National Honor Society as a junior. He r musical a chievements included choir, presentations as a soloist and five No. 1 ratings as an All-Stater. She gave of her time unselfishly as an accompanist on either piano or the organ, and sh e partic ipated in road shows, plays, and operettas. As a varsity cheerleader, her enthusiasm overflowed into many areas demanding school spirit. Carol Was the Most Domestic A fifty-minute examination on homemaking knowledge and aptitude formed the hea rt of the Betty Crocker Search for the American Homemaker of Tomorrow. This contest and award were designed to enhance the dignity and prestige of the American home and to stimulate interest in homemaking. The girl with the highest score in each participating school was named "Homemaker of Tomorrow" for the school. Carol Gardner earned the highest rating at Abraham Lincoln High School and was entered in competition for state and national honors. E:ich state "Homemaker of Tomorrow" received a $1,500 scholarship and an expense-paid tour of E astern United States for herself and a school advisor. Although Carol did not advance to state competition, she received a distinctive award pin and praise from her fell ow students. MARTHA BENO CAROL GARDNER Marty Was the Most Unselfish A coveted awa rd given each year to an outstanding senior girl is the Dr. Erickson-Hill Award. Dr. Erickson-Hill, an A.L. graduate, was an important citizen of Counc il Bluffs, se rving unselfishly as a doctor and the only woman member of the Council Bluffs Board of Educati o n for man y yea rs.

SPONSORS Mrs. Martha Schmidt-Mr. Herbert Little One of the oldest Chapters of the National Honor Society is among the organizations in Abraham Lincoln High School. Each year an impressive assembly is held, at which time the requirements for membership are presented and those who qualify are announced. These students then take the oath and are sworn in as new members. April 14, 1965 was the lucky day for 75 juniors and seniors. Junior students, selected in 1064, presented original speeches con· cerning the emblem and the four requirements: scholarship, leadership, service and character. The names of the students in the top 15% of the senior class and the top 5% of the junior class were read by Roy Lawson, Assistant Principal. These students were presented a rose as they entered through an archway and joined other top-ranking students. The oath was administered by Mr. Lawson and the applause of some ltlOO students emphasized the importance of the award ea rned by those who aimed for this award during their high school careers. Bernadette O'Connor, a junior, ha ppily received her rose a ft er b e ing elected to the National Honor Society. Students Honored With National Memberships ROW I: J ea nin e Gall, Roberta Bowman, Fay Howard, Colett e Hale, Georgia Capel, Diane Shipman. ROW 2: Donna DeRoos, Becky Clabaugh, Danny Walton, P aul Erickson, Paul Brooks, Linda Kessler, Mary Kay Moe. Students of drama aim toward membership in the National Thespian Club. The purpose of this organization is to further the development of its members in the fi eld of drama. To become a member one must earn ten points during the school year, each point re~resenting ten lines of a school play. Journalism students count it a great honor to be selected to the National Quill and Scroll Club. To be selected, you must be enrolled in journalism, write fo r the school paper or yearbook, and be recommended by the journalism instructor.

To seniors, time was an all-important word. The past was rich with learning, maturing, and experiencing. The present was the time in which they were living and having fun , and the future was an enveloping thought of questions and plans. Who could forget good old "word power days" and the cramming to pass the tests? Then there were Saturdays devoured by ACT and College Board examinations. Anxious weeks followed while awaiting the results. Business Education students spent boring days on drills, so as to pass the Civil Service tests. Music students had worrisome hours filled with music contests and anticipated ratings. Athletes sweated through tense moments during regular games and tournament days. But mixed with all of these anxious moments were happy events like Homecoming, the Winter Whirl, the Military Ball, and the Prom. Finally graduation came, climaxing three years of hard work, bringing a sad happiness and opening before each senior his kaleidoscopic future. 39 40 Barbara Bowen, David Clark, John McKinley, Martha Beno, Grant Loyd.

They know when the bells ring, where all the claosrooms are located, and how n ot lo trip over the pails on third floor or the. rolling boards of first floor. As the year passed by, it left a kaleidoscope o f memories. American History and that Algebra 3 class were unmistakably "double toil and trouble. " After the glorious p rom, the juniors daydreamed about the beauty of the evening for a long time. They remembered the last dance and the fun and excitement of staying out all night for the first time. No one could forget the chocolate bar sale and all those calories. After the class rings arrived there seemed to be a quick exch ange among a few " close" friends while others were overwhelmed with the glow of their very own class ring. The juniors were also very proud of their operetta, "Amahl and the Night Visitors." It was a dramatic play and everyone was impressed with the three fine performances g iven to the student b ody. Finally, the year ended and almost every j unior r eceived his report card happily. However, all juniors suddenly realized that being a junior was something special. But now summer had come-the summer before the senior year- when each junior realized he was no longer a care-free junior but now a serious senior preparing for graduation a nd the demands of adult life. Yes-the junior year was a fun year in the kaleidoscope of sch ool life. 77 78 Linda Hunt, Steve Evans, Mike Rolf, Mike Moore, Susan Eakin.

With his confused look and a schedule in hand, everyone recognized him as a "typical" Abraham Lincoln sophomore. In a few short weeks however, he would be able to find his way from class to class blindfolded. In retrospect, many fond memories are brought to life from the sophomore year. Remember the first fragrant aroma in Biologythat of an earthworm in formaldehyde? It was later in the year when enough courage was summoned to dissect that slimy green frog. However, Biology was only one subject for the neophyte sophomore. Also included in the curriculum was World History with its time-consuming notebooks and Geometry with all its confusion. The sophomore vocal music students produced an operetta which was special with the excitement of opening night and its accompanying stage-fright butterflies. Last, but not least, every sophomore was required to take English. Thinking back, Silas Marner was one unforgettable character, as was Sydney Carton from A Tale of Two Cities. One great year was gone, with two more coming up! 91 92 :-. ____ _ .;.. __ _ _ J ames Lykke, Robert Shockey, JoAnn Meade, David Nyquist, Paul Otto.

Hammered thumbs, yards of chicken wire and millions of paper napkins preceded each float before it rolled into position in the Homecoming Parade. Numerous committee meetings and endless arguments produced a beautiful prom in the memories of all juniors and seniors. This hard work combined with determination discovered and developed abilities and hidden talents of all participants. Without the thrill and excitement of these varied ac tivities, the responsibilities of studies and other sundry obligations became overbearing. The goals were varied and sometimes the organization of thoughts confused, but satisfaction of a job well done made the hard work vanish as the crown was placed on the queen's head or as the curtains parted on opening night. The joys and disappointments, the laughter and tears-these all combined in forming a kaleidoscopic design which emitted the excitement of a thrilling and busy year-a special year for all those who were pieces of the kaleidoscope. 105 106 MIKE EV ANS and MARTHA BENO BRUCE FLEMING and KATHY FAIRBAIRN Mr. and Miss ALHS Candidates ~~Enjoyed" a Tense Evening GRANT LOYD and DELORES LANE JOHN McKINLEY and p A TTY MULLEN Mr. and Miss ALHS Pageant Martha Beno, one of the five candidates, ent ertain ed th e receptive audience with a piano solo, "Tara's Theme." Originality and determination combined to form an elaborate and elegant pageant heralding the new Mr. and Miss ALHS. From the first moment the curtain parted to the closing ceremonies, the pageant was hailed a success. The candidates were introduced informally during the early moments of the pageant. The girls, dressed in pastel sweaters and skirts, and the fellows in letter sweaters, made a beautiful picture before the gold curtain , centered with a basket of mums and flanked by the turquoise curtain. Jim Peters, as Master of Ceremonies, kept the large and anxious audience in continuous suspense. This primordial innovation presented the creativeness and talents of the candidates. Also other students, representing all three classes, combined their many talents to form this variety show. The inimitable performance of " Huck's Five" was far from mediocre and was considered by many the highlight of the pageant. Mike Evans, Bruce Fleming, Grant Loyd, and John McKinley proved quite musical as they, along with a provocative female admirer, Ron Sullivan, entertained the soon h ysterical audience. As the final and crowning moment arrived, the candidates processed down the aisles-the girls adorned in full-len gth formals and carrying a single rose, followed b y the boys handsomely dressed in suits. Tension mounted as the philosophy of each of the candidates was tested by Jim P e ters. who asked each fina list a question concerning life. Finally the long-awaited moment arrived as Marilee Wilder and Ron Sullivan \Vere announced " Mr. and Miss ALHS of 1965". Tammy Lykke, Miss ALHS of 1964 . presented the g ifts and flowers to the new royalty to close the pageant. Mike Evans, Cran!

The Whirl Was a ~~Christmasy'' Date e annual Winter Whirl, sponsored by the PTA, was a gala evenmg as students and alumni danced to the music of the Rumbles. The a ttendance was CYreat which cheered the PTA and "' guaranteed another Winter Whirl in 1965. As usual, the music of the Rumbles (a favorite combo) was LOUD and scintillatino-. s . . "' tudent Co~nc1l m embers festively decorated the gym with flocked red and white lv t r eindeer, while entrances were outlined with evergreen and h oll y. Throughout the evening, students and chaperont's enj oyed the punch and cookies contributed by the PTA. The highlight of the eveninCY was the crownino- of the Winter s "' "' ports Queen. Dave Lidgett, as Master of Ceremonies and clown of the evening, added humor to the ceremony as Deanna J ennings relinquished her crown to Patty Mullen, the 1965 Winter Sports Queen. Ann Jungquist and Susan Eakin were lovely p rincesses, representing the sophomore and junior classes respectively. Deanna Jennings, who was home for Christmas vacation from Iowa University, presented the roses and gifts to the new queen. As part of the ceremony, Ron Sullivan escorted Queen Patty while Leslie Carroll and Bill Will escorted Princesses Susan and Ann. Following the intermission, students flocked to the punch bowls, and the Rumbles turned on their amplifiers to make this holiday festivity a memorable evening for students and alumni alike.

Three .of Abraham Lincoln's students, Kay J ohn$on, Robert Vergamini, and James Madsen, received the ho nor of being selected to the United Sta tes Chorus which toured America during the summer of 1965.

Over the Thanksgiving holiday, three mixed quartets went to Des Moines to participate in the All-State Chorus. This privilege was accorded them for their fine performance in All-State auditions a ~onth earlier. Early in April, A.L. music students went to the State Music Contest in Atlantic, Iowa. The musicians received twenty-four superior ratings, which was a magnificent record. Many other functions, such as singing for the Rotary Club, local churches, and service clubs, took place during the year which brought praise and distinction to the school, the music directors, and the students themselves. It can be truthfully stated that vocal music hit a new high in performance during 1964 and 1965.

The big New York production of "My Fair Lady" had nothing on Mike Kinsel as Professo r Higgins and Mary Schlott aii Eliza Doolittle. Dave Lidge tt stol e the show with his escapades and anti cs as he danced and sang his way through Mr. Doolittle's life.

Matronl y Claudia did a superb job as Mike Kinsel's distraught mother, while Tom Brown provided a romantic touch in the life of Mary Schlott. The show had a fo ur-night stand with sell-outs the last three nights. It will go down in history as an unforgettable even t, especially the Saturday night performance when the electri city was knocked out by a storm during the last half. (Later-the Fire Chief stormed about the candl es and the battery-powered fl ares. Due to Divine Blessing, no tragedy occurred.) Mrs. Viola Bichel, Mr. David Linkey, and Mr. Bill Armstrong, music directors, sailed on Cloud 9 for many days after the excellent performances of their students.

Linda Hunt, protected her mother from Donald Culley, who caught her stealing money from the Kings. ~~Amahl and the The most dramatic and inspiring operetta of this year was "Amahl, and The Night Visitors." Linda Hunt, as Amahl, won the understanding hearts of the audience in her portrayal of a little crippled shepherd boy. Sympathies were further aroused by the severe scoldings of his Mother, played by Kitty J ohnson. The mouths of the student body watered as Bob Vergamini teased Amahl with licorice from "his box." The three Kings played by Keith Allerton, Robert Vergamini and Jim Madsen did a royal job as they visited Amahl and his mother. Don Culley, as the servant to the Kings, presented a convincing act when he caught Kitty Johnson stealing the jewels. Much local color was contributed by the shepherds who brought food to the widow's house for the Kings. Oimaxing the story, Amahl gave his crutch to the Kings to take to the Christ Child and was blessed with healing from on High. Separate assemblies for the 10th 11th and 12th arades stirred ' ' b the hearts of all with Christmas spirit. The Kings, Jim Madsen, Bob Vergamini, a nd Keith Child as Donald Culley rolled out the red carpet. Night Visitors'' Brought Culture to A.L. Gerri Pholyiem presented an interpretative dance from her native country, Thailand. Allerton held royal gifts for the Christ. Linda Hunt surrendered her crutch unselfishly after being healed by the Holy Spirit. David Clerk and Doug Limbert created an authentic atmospherp in producing ,the high notes of the shepherd 's pipe. 121 122 Sophomores ~Lived It Up' • Ill Paris "Parents are such problems." Ron Bryson and Judy Knuth used diplomacy on their travelin g daughter, Linda Mcintosh. Paris in the spring was the setting for this year's entertaining sophomore operetta, "So This Is Paris." The combination of a group of young American girls and romantic Frenchmen resulted in the inevitable-love and romance with a hatful of laughs. As the feminine lead, Linda Mcintosh skillfully portrayed a young girl in love. Tom Pyper complemented her as a suave, debonair young Frenchman. The laughs were provided by bubbly Cindi Mcintosh , (who, to her dismay, fell in love with Shelley Gallner, a " dull" American, instead of a romantic Frenchman ) Dennis O eaveland and Jeff Glesmann. Dennis' exuberant portrayal kept the audience laughing and was the hit of the show. Ron Bryson and Judy Knuth, Linda's parents, gave a realistic portrayal of well-meaning, but stuffy, parents who " just want the best for our little girl." The finale, "Ze Block Partee" was an appropriate ending to an evening of lively fun and romance. "I'm glad everyone else went home so we ran be alone," remarked Lind a Mcintosh to Torn P yper. "Ze A merican girls . .. oola-la 1" J eff Glesmann and Ma rga ret Moe we re ente rta ined by Denn is Cleaveland bet wee n jobs. M'Liss Won Her Man Legally D?ve Cla.rk taught Beverly Frazer how to be a lady while "backwoodsy" Diane Shipman sincerely loved her old Dad. Hilariously funn y, the All-School Play, "M'Liss," brought many good times lo the cast as its members rehea rsed night after night following Fair Lady's departure. With her cute accent, her dancing pigtails, and western-style dress, Diane Shipman did a clever portrayal of the Southern gal, M'Liss. Both Steve Means as M'Liss' father, and Randolph Jones, her fiance, added color with their pranks and anecdotes. The typical sehoolmaster, Dave Clark, and Donna DeRoos, the grumpy landlady of the Roarin' Dog Hotel, brought spice and variety to the performance. Type casting had its day in John Dalton, the judO'e who was against "all mushy stuff," Dan Walton, the sheriff, ;cl Beverly Frazer, a meek, softspoken country girl. Becky Clabaugh and Ann Sheeran helped to create a little glamour with their stunning dresses and elegant manners. "M'Liss" was a great play, filled not only with fun galore, but also tense, thrilling situations. Ann Sheeran and Randy Jones told John Dalton they had never met before. (We bet!) Becky Clabaugh and Dan Walton were "heartbroken" when Steve Means was stabbed. Becky Clabaugh designed an elderly haird o for Donna DeRoos. 123 124 FLUTES Doug Limbert Susan Greenslate Marigail Jury OBOES Julie J ensen J ennifer Cary Pat Bailey Linda Tabler Pam Nash Janet Herwig P ortia Ball David Clark CLARINETS Sally Boyer Dan Norga rd Steve Means Rand y Beall All en Herwig John Dickerson Dixie Geu Leonard Lee Dennis Smith Na ncy Hicks Teresa Nevling A.L.

Mr. Bill Armstrong, A.L's new instrumental music instructor, put the band in the spotlight last fall with the lively half-time performances at the football games. High-stepping majorettes'. a new look for the marching band last year, helped drum ma1or David Clark take the band through its paces.

The Council Bluffs' high ~cho~l bands helped kick off the United Fund drive by participating m the first parade through downtown Council Bluffs in many years. The success of this parade prompted the American Legion Veterans' Day Parade, in which the bands also took part. The year was climaxed with the Homecoming festivities, "A Parade of Stars." The full potential of the dance band was not realized since it was a new organization. The possibility of having this group play for a student dance was explored, as Mr. Bill A1'mstrong hoped to work up a repertoire of at least thirty numbers next year. The dance band was the largest single expenditure for the band, since they required new equipment such as stands and lights. Throughout the year, the dance band set the pace for many stage productions, including the Mr. and Miss ALHS pageant and the Roadshow.

And this held true in the cast of the A.L. instrumental music department. When the new instructor assumed his duties, he turned the administrative responsibilities over to individuals from the band. Students were placed in charge of ordering, filing, and passing out music; publicizing concerts, keeping track of uniforms and equipment, and answering correspondence. In addition to the student administrative staff, students also had the responsibility of governing the organization, numbering eighty members. These duties included the planning of activities, and the handling of finances.

"Excellent-outstandin<> costumes-<>ood sta<>e manner! b '""' b " "Hats off to all! ... " Pygmalion , written in 1912, has been a successful pla y on stage, screen and television. The story centers around Professor Higgins, a professor of speech , who proved that he could take an illiterate, bedraggled flower girl of the London streets and change her cockney speech and appearance to that of a duchess. Everyone is familiar with this play as it is the basis of the sparkling Broadway musical version known as My Fair Lady. Since the contest play could onl y be of thirt y-minute duration. cuttings were adapted from Pygmalion whi ch conveyed the story in an abbreviated form. After success in the district speech contest, the cast of Pygmalion moved on to state competition. Seventeen plays were entered at the state level which involved ninety-one students. Abraham Lincoln was given a top rating by each of the three judges. During the contest, the judges selected ten of the ninety-one students to receive the award of best actor and actress. Two of these ten were Mary Schlott a nd Michael Kinsel. Abraham Lincoln players could ask for no more, especiall y since the c rilique sheets prepared by the judges were filled with supe rlatives conce rning the interpretations of the characters as well as the costuming. To equal this rating in future yea rs will be the constant goal of the oneact play participants.

Take your choice-Indian Maidens, Aggressive Cowboys or Darling Doris' Dance Hall Dames. You would have found them all, and many more, humorous and entertaining acts in "Frontier Follies." Appreciation was extended to Mrs. Lucile Hoffman for superb directing, to Mrs. Viola Bichel and Mr. David Linkey who directed the vocal groups, to Mrs. Berniece Rosas as art director and to Mr. Bill Armstrong, band director. A hilarious faculty act was presented the last two nights. The. funniest part of this act was Mr. Seth Hills on his "Whitsonaltered" dress, whom nobody recognized until he sang "You Are My Sunshine." Though the show was mainly concerned with the Wild West, its virtues and vices, "Football Close-ups" and "A Day at A.L." brought the audience back to present-day situations and problems. Masters of Ceremony, Mike Kinsel and Dave Harriman, wove the acts together with their usual humor and finesse. Color was the keynote this year. Beginning the show were the dramatic and colorful "Indian Maidens." This Lynxette interpretive dance was beautifully executed under black lights. Songs such as Scarlet Ribbons, Red Wing, Green Fields and Moon River created rich and vibrant color. It was a gay ·evening filled with music and wit. The girls changed places with the boys in "Football Close-ups!" Hold on to your socks-your garters are falling! Garters were only one of the many worries of Doris' Dance Hall Dames. Funloving Crowds Came to the Road Show Action in this frontier saloon became pretty hectic with the Dance Hall Dames, Cowpoke Linkey and his famous horse. "Cowboys" performed hy the Lynxettes was a lively finale ; and they earned 100% in a " pretty'' spellin g ~so . 133 134 Juniors Presented ~~Lock, Stock and Lipstick'' "Since you're new here, you'd better watch those humps on the first floor," said Courtney Jensen as a warning to Diane Yokum. Preparing and presenting "Lock, Stock, and Lipstick" was a real joy for the cast and stage crew of juniors. Keith Allerton, a hi(Yh school cruidance counselor, put up a valiant struggle against b 0 the new girls' counselor, Becky Clabaugh. She did not falter in the face of a challenge, but won the admiration of the students and teachers, and-·yes, even Keith. Patty Payne and Mike Dahlke did an outstanding job in the portrayal of two rowpy teenagers. These "products" of Becky's "uidance added much humor to the production. Monica Workman b " Father told me there would be days like this," thought Keith Allerton as lw w as liein g scolded hy Kath y Stroehele and Ma ri ga il Jury. and Charles Caughlan, typical high school students needing help with problems, gave reality to the play. Marigail Jury, the domineering principal, Kathy Stroebele, a complaining teacher, and Carol Hirst, a hot-tempered mother, contributed a touch of feminine "peculiarities." Diane Yokem and Courtney Jensen were excellent in the parts of the busy-body custodians. They were always ready with their witty remarks and puns and provided humor, as well as light suspense. " You seem to be an expert on problems about men 1" comment ed Monica Workman to Becky Claba ugh as Patt y Pa ynP listened in. _J "We march to the east; we march to the west; wherever u:e go, with victory we're blessed," ch anted the Candleoosa women, fogged in the incense of the ceremony, as they initiated the villain,. • Seniors Excelled Ill Slapstick Comedy "The Grass That's Greener" was without a doubt one of the most lively and enjoyable plays which has come to Abraham Lincoln for many years. The slapstick comedy was based around a plot to recover a medal given to the candidate for mayor by the ladies of Candleoosa. The "hero" of the play was "Jessie," a comfortable, easy chair which extracted objects from the pockets of its occupants. Paul Erickson, a candidate for mayor, and Judy Haug, his wife, were the distraught parents of two teenagers, Patty Mullen and Tyler Borman. Patty and her friend, Karen Haarhues, were "I'm happy ; I'm sleepy ; I'm sick ." Patty Mu llen, Judy Haug, and Paul Erickson barely survived the Candleoosa f"errmony. occupied as usual. with the pursuit of boys. Two prime targets were Paul Ellerbeck and Jim Peters. Tyler and his friends, Fay Howard and Lynn Manhart. were busy preparing an act for a school prop:ram. Barh Bowen was the p:irl who broke up Tyler and Lynn's friendship. Mary Kay Moe, Mary Thomsen, and Fran Wiser were the members of the Candleoosa Women's Club. Their secret rituals and ridiculous antics were the hit of the show. These eccentric society matrons were also responsible for reforming John Dalton and Steve Means, the two gangsters who stole the medal. "Our act will wow them !" Tyler Borman, Fay Howard, and Lynn Manha rt practiced on the home folk s for the school variety show. 135 136 Senior Banquet Was Held at Elks Club The speakers table included Grant Loyd who gave the Invocation, E'Lise Jensen who spoke on "Looking Ahead" Diane Shipman who talked on "Making New Friends", and Mr. Owen who said "You CAN Take It with You". Mrs'. T. E. Williams, a comedienne, provided the entertainment for the evening. Paul Brooks reminisced about "These Hallowed Halls". Mike Kinsel was a natural Master of Ceremonies. President Dave Clark welcomed seniors and distinguished guests. The " Most Debatable Awa rd" was bestowed on the team of Diane Shipman, Paul Brooks and Dave Clark. The senior banquet was attended by 330 seniors and their guests. The newly remodeled Elks Club was spacious and everyone was in a dressed-up mood. After everyone was FINALLY served and yet while everyone was still HUNGRY, the program began. Mrs. T. E. Williams, a substitute teacher <Yave her interpretation ' b of several popular song titles and presented two of her students in a comic skit which she had written. After the thoughtful and philosophic speeches of several classmates, Mike Kinsel presented a few "nutty" awards to the more illustrious seniors (who had stayed) for their noteworthy contributions to A.L. (What hap· pened to the Will and Prophecy? ! ) Cindy Wilkinson and Kathy Spencer from Eastside presented a funny skit entitled "A Couple of Swin gers." • A.L.H.S. Honored Its Namesake THE GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE SHALL NOT PERISH FROM TH.IS EARTH GETTYSBURG ADDRESS The immortal words of Abraham Lincoln decorated the cafe bulletin boards. Abraham Lincoln Day was held for the first time last winter and promised to become a new school tradition. A contest was held whereby each homeroom was decorated in a patriotic theme and had one student dressed like Lincoln. The cafe was the winner in both divisions of this contest. Quotations from Abraham Lincoln's famous speeches were lettered on the bulletin boards and red, white, and blue crepe paper streamers and festoons decorated the windows. John Disalvo, also from the cafe, was a remarkable likeness of Lincoln. The m a in speaker at the assembly was Judy Allen Ardell. A highlight of the program was the dedication of the Annual to Mr. H. Arthur Lee. Mr. and Miss ALHS, Ron Sullivan and Marilee Wilder, conducted a rededication ceremony fo r the school at the end of the program. This program was a fitting tribute to Lincoln since 1965 was the centennial of his death. Mr. H. Arthur Lee was touched as Miss Erva Huckleeberry dedicated the Annual to him. "My chin itches," complained the six fin alists : e Baltr, Bob Perry, Terry Klein, John Disalvo, Larry O uisti ansen, and Steve Phelan . "Yahoo, Mountain Dew." Woody Howe.

At least the roads A.L. juniors and seniors took on the evening of Friday, May 14, 1065, did when annual Prom was held at the Exchange Building in Omaha. The theme "Saturnalia," a Roman festival, was chosen by the junior class. Handicapped by a small work force and much work to be done, the juniors recreated the regal beauty of a Roman courtyard for the occasion. Especially lovely were the fountain, the pink simulated marble platforms, and the throne itself with lights of multi-colored hues shining on it. Another asset of this yea r's Prom was the procurement of both large ballrooms eliminating crowded conditions and giving the needed feeling of spaciousneEs so indica tive of Roman surroundings.

As they proceeded down the royal carpet, Jim reviewed the activities and honors of each member. The climax of the ceremonies was attained as the ascension of Delores Lane and Tyler Borman to royalty was proclaimed. The crowd \vas well pleased with the choice of the new king and queen. Queen Delores and King Tyler were crowned by the retiring royalty, Tammy Lykke and Jerry Thomas (substituting for Skip Berry). Linda Hunt, escorted by Bill Cutler, presented petite Delores with a bouquet of roses. Susan Eakin and Mike RS!f presented the royal couple with gifts. A waltz by the new royalty and their courtiers followed. But don't think the action ended here! Post-prom activities were in abundance in the form of late movies, various parties, and, for the real night-owls, early-morning breakfasts. :Pally Y/(uffen and :Yau/ 0/Ter6ech 1' as the Romans Do "No Paul I washed th ese gloves last night so I can't hold hands with you.:' Lind'a Hunt and Paul Ellerbeck had punch in the "second ballroom."

COLONEL RON SULLIVAN AND HIS LADY MISS JUDY O'BRIEN The light, spring air of the evening added a definite tingle to the alread y vibrant a tmosphere which surrounded the night of April 0. l <J65. This was the date chosen fo r the Forty-Sixth Military Rall of Abraham Lincoln High School. Guests were g reeted by milita ry honor guardsmen who courteously opened car d oors and escorted them to the entrance of the gym. As soon as the guests entered the ~ mnasium. they knew that this was a night to be remembered. The fift y-four offi cers had transformed a dingy, unattractive gymnasium into a beautiful au<lito rium with a crepe· pa per canopy. As the guests took their seats, all eyes we re on the tri-colored blue ceiling and the intrica te desig ns o n the walls. The focal po int of the decorations was located al the south end of the gymnasium 1rhere a garrlen-like entrance was fl anked 1rith white pilla rs and Gre<' ian sta tues. Multi-colored ca rnations enhanced the g reenery aga inst the blue-curtained background. The Conce rt Band presented a stirring concert and a selected group of vocal students sang exce rpts from " Hello Dolly !" After the presentation o f the Colors and the playing of the National Anthem, Cha rlie Caughlan, Master of Ceremonies, announced each office r a nd his lady prog ressing to the climactic a nnouncement of Rich Morris as Colonel anrl Kathleen Fairbairn as Honorary r .. !onel.

"Stick the pin in the coat, not in the shoulder," chuckled Rich Morris to Kathy Fairbairn. Ball Ceremonies Were Executed With Finesse The Colonels and their ladies made an impressive group as they led the grand march. Miss Patty Blanchard presented Honorary Colonel, Miss Kathleen Fairbairn, with a bouquet of roses. Terry Stickels, Cadet Sgt. Maj., presented the saber to Cadet Colonel Richard Morris. The Colonel and Honorary Colonel from Thomas Jefferson High School congratulated Colonel Richard Morris and Honorary Colonel Kathleen Fairbairn in the reception line after the grand m~r h of t11 e officers. 147 148 Sfc.

Therefore, the student body witnessed a nearly perfect military review which inspecting officers rated highly. Persons decorated by the Department of the Army for attaining superior cadet records included Third Year Cadet Colonel Richard Morris, Second Year-Cadet Ssg. Charles Caughlan, and First Year Cadet Cpl. Francis Clark. Lt. Col. Ron Sullivan was awarded a medal from the Association of the U. S. Army as the outstanding cadet of the brigade. Voiture 233 Forty & Eight presented Capt. Paul_ Brooks and 1st Lt. Grant Loyd with medals denoting Outstanding Company Commander and Outstanding Platoon Leader respectively. The Abraham Lincoln Brigade received an " Honor Rating," thus maintaining a record of many years. Company C, 2nd Battalion, commanded by Capt. David Clark, was " Honor Company." Memories of ROTC were not always pleasant in the minds of the cadets, but an "Honor Rating" gave significance to the years of training. RIFLE TEAM- ROW 1 : Mike Rindone, Kenton Powell, Capt.

Neal pronounced the Invocation and the Benediction. Baccalaureate Service Was Rev. R. C. Bowman gave the sermon, "Are You Ready, World?" The scripture, from Thessalonians, was read by Dick France. Baccalaureate was a time of united and quiet worship for the graduates of 1%5. Impressive and Beautiful The morning of May 30, 1965 was sunny and clear as the graduates assembled for the Baccalaureate Service. The girls in white caps and gowns and the boys in royal blue made a beautiful procession as they filled the 475 seats on the gym floor. All the bleachers and the two balconies were completely filled with friends and relatives of the graduates. The choir sang "Lord To Thee Our Hearts Are Raised." Rev. R. C. Bowman of the First Presbyterian Church, father of Roberta Bowman, delivered the sermon. The sermon, in summary, stimulated seniors to consider the question: "Are you ready for the world? You are if you have a sense of responsibility and courage. Is the world ready for you? Yes! It will challenge you if you are committed." The PT A sponsored a brunch for the graduates, their parents, and their friends following the Baccalaureate Service. Everyone found this a real joy since daylight saving time was in effect, making morning come VERY early, and everybody came without breakfast. This brunch has become a tradition anticipated by all. Frank Dinovo and John Dickerson need Ill-Ore rolls or they'll start on their tassels next. "You can't have your frosting and eat it too Doug." Douglas Harold and Karen Elliott enjoyed their br akfa t together with their parents. ' Mr>. Le la nd Lykke se rved hun gry graduat es and their p a rents a t th e PTA brunch . The Abraham Lincoln PT A had decorated the tables with centerpieces of spring flowers. Peonies and iris were at their peak and looked lovely in special· vases and bowls. To eat rolls and drink coffee or milk with your mother and dad was great fun when you. as seniors. were the h onored guests. 152 Dr. Leland Traywick gave the Commencement address "What of the Future." Class of 1965 Hit a New Commencement, the climax of the year for each senior, brought mixed emotions to the participants! Some felt a glorious releasefreedom at last! Others felt a loss-impending separation from life-long friends. Others were confused-is college the answer or a job or the Service? Others felt a victory-having won a hard struggle. There was the usual worry about the weather since it rained every day. Hmvever, in answer to many prayers, the day was sunny and warm. All 178 seniors and approximately 5,000 parents, friends, and relatives filled the field, the bleachers, and the track. The processional extended half way around the field as the first strains of "Pomp and Circumstance" alerted everyone that the moment was at hand. Following the processional and the Invoca· tion, the choir sang "Where in the World" and "Farewell, Halls of Learning." Dr. Leland Traywick, President of Omaha University, pre· sented an address entitled "What of the Future?" Although the seniors were thinking of many other things, this summary will help them to remember that they should "work as if everything depended on them and pray as if everything depended on God. For it is true. The world is no wider than the heart is wide, and the sky is no higher than the soul is high." Dark clouds were creeping toward tpe field, but a bright clear halo of blue hung over the seniors as they received their diplomas. President Dave Clark presented the class gift to the school library before the Benediction was pronounced by Rev. R. C. Bowman. Elated seniors switched their tassels, threw their caps in the air, and recessed from the field. Sally Boecken happily received her diploma from P resident Lester Haas as Corrin e Carlson and Cath y Clark waited in line. Mr. Richard Stoufe r, member of the School Board, Record 478 Graduates Janet .J ohnson, Be tt y Kato, Kathy Murphy, Judy Overgard, Joann Christensen, Linda Cody, Muriel Whitbeck, and Donn a Miller a ll agreed th a t Ivory keeps your hands "as smooth as a baby's." Patty Burgett, Floyd Minor, Kathy Gallaher, Dan Vokt, Nancy W eiser, Ron Basch, and Shirley Ward asked each other "Did you have your watch set for old time or new time?" heartily congra tulated his son, Dick, upon graduation. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Goodell and their daughter Laura checked the program just before the processional began . 153 154 rganizations Special programs, field trips, workshops, potlucks, contests, and "just-for-fun" parties attracted many students to join organizations during the school year. A kaleidoscope of clubs provided for the varying interests of students in many different areas. Nut sales, candy sales and dances were some of the moneymaking schemes used to supplement impending dues. Initiations, welcoming teas, seasonal parties, and farewell picnics added color to the gray life of classwork. Vocational clubs gave their members new insights into chosen fields when speakers and guided tours provided added knowledge. Artistic and dramatic talents were revealed and developed by the art and drama clubs. Political clubs had a heyday during the fall campaigns as they rang doorbells while canvassing the city. Community service was the aim of several organizations whose members cooperated by participating in welfare projects. With all of these benefits came a aood feelina of warm friend- b b . ship between students and teachers as they worked together in the extra-curricular field. Thus the kaleidoscope of organizational activities was a changing picture from month to month. 155 156 Annual Grew In 1965 When students dreamed of working on the Annual Staff, many pictures entered their minds. Some imagined it as one gay time of· "goofing off." Others felt it would be mountains of boring and tiring work. However, to members of the Yearbook Staff it meant not only fun and excitement, but also many hours of creativity to produce the best annual yet. Members of the Crimson and Blue Staff did not receive academic credit for ""ivin" 0 0 up" sixth period but they received a well-rounded education in working together. Patience and personal qrive were two of the main traits which were developed. Sometimes an individual ·would work three weeks on a layout to discover that they had to begin anew. Getting along with others was another trait which all acquired to a higher degree. It is true. that the Staff had a few battles to get its ideas across, but in the end everyone usually agreed without too many injured feelings. There were many highlights and memories when reflecting on the Staff's activities. An evening on the town was enjoyed at Caniglia's Palazzo 'Taliano when everyone "dressed up fine" and ate steak and shrimp. There was the Mr. and Miss A.L.H.S. Pacreant-a bier success-and the Box Social-a big failure. There was the dedication 0 0 of the Year book on Abraham Lincoln Day and there were scattered pepsi and birthday parties. yet, to the Staff, the biggest event was Miss Huck's trip to the yearbook convention in Chicago on Thanksgiving. When she came back loaded with new ideas and the "correct journalistic way" to make a Yearbook, Staff members were both excited and baffled. This BIG Crimson and Blue--bigger pages and thicker book-is a direct result of knowledge gained at the convention. As one can see, life in 214 was far from dull. Besides the many good times, marvelous experiences and a sense of achievement, the Staff also developed lasting friendships. Everyone worked long and hard to make a book to be enjoyed forever by you. Enjoy it! STAFF EDITOR-IN-CHIEF . ... . · · · · · · · · · · ·.· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · . . . . . .

No wonder the pape r was upsid e down th at week ! lbO The Echoes Recorded The Echoes' "back room" was a beehive of activity every day of the week! Some of the many things accomplished were the laying out of ad copy, the composing and proofreading of news stories, the making of headlines, and finally the printing of the paper. Lack of space and equipment hampered the efforts of the staff, but still the Echoes "Echoed Vigorously, Justly, and without Prejudice" every week. In working on the paper, students learned the anxiety of meeting a deadline, but it was a great day when their stories appeared in print. Many people never realized the amount of work the staff put into just one issue of "The Echoes." The advisor, Mr. H. Arthur Lee, was not without his share of problems. A few of the gremlins which troubled him and the staff included a missing ink tray, an "ornery" vari-type machine, and a stubborn printing press. Mr. Lee expects the space and machinery problems to be solved when the new Abraham Lincoln High School is completed.

Many other collections were authorized, among them memorial gifts. The Student Council gave of its funds to numerous civic organizations which were promoting charity projects in the community. On one occasion, students assisted the deputy sheriffs in the collection of money to aid retarded children. The Student Council carried out the wishes of the students when it purchased the new beige-colored curtain for the stage and contributed $150 toward the American Field Service program at Abraham Lincoln.

Usherettes Greeted the Public Evening functions at Abraham Lincoln found twenty-five junior and senior girls "prettying up extra special" for the current performances. These girls, who constituted the Courtesy Club, cheerfully greeted and seated the public at school-sponsored activities. Occasionally a handsome father or boyfriend was ushered to a choice seat, thanks to some dutiful daughter or girlfriend. A benefit for the members was that they were admitted free to any event for which they ushered. Last fall the Courtesy Club boosted the school spirit by constructing a beehive for the Homecoming bonfire. The burning of the yellowjacket nest sympolized the anticipated victory over Thomas Jefferson. It was perched atop the mountain of lumber and really surprised the crowd when the heat from the fire caused the hidden caps to explode. The highlight of the year for the girls was the banquet in April which Mr. Owen hosted on behalf of the school. This was a "thank-you" in appreciation of the fine service of the Courtesy Club during the year. OFFICERS PRESIDENT . . . .... . . · · · · · · · ·. · . . ... . . .. ..

In September, the Y-Teens gave a Fall Friendship Tea for all of the new girls at Abraham Lincoln. At this annual reception, the Y-Teen members helped them to become acquainted with the school and the opportunities it offered. At Christmas time, the members collected canned goods, old clothes, and toys for a needy family in the community. They also provided a Christmas dinner, a tree, and presents in the true spirit of giving. Every other week the girls took turns in doing volunteer work for the Christian Home. The orphans there looked forward to being read stories or learning to dance from their new high school friends. At Easter, the Y-Teen Club and the Hi-Y Club co-sponsored an Easter assembly for the entire student body. In November, the girls were engaged in a hard-fought contest. They divided into two teams, the "Nuts" and the "Mixers" for competition in the annual mixed nut sale. Both teams put forth a real effort, and there were no hard feelings when the "Mixers" were announced the winners. The girls also had a Christmas party and gift exchange and a mother-daughter banquet in April to honor the seniors. Every Y-Teen member strived in her own way to improve her club, her school, and her community and to encourage goodwill among all. lb4 OFFICERS FALL SPRING Linda West ... . ........

Hi-Y Club Barely Survived the Year The Hi-Y nearly died-death due to causes beyond control. Between double-shift problems, athletic participation by boys, and early-bird meetings, attendance at the meetings was very poor. The only projects of the year were the selling of booster buttons during the basketball season and the promotion of the Easter Assembly in the spring with the co-sponsorship of the Y-Teens. Dave Jahn, president of the Hi-Y presided at the assembly, and Dennis Boehme delivered the prayer. An organization whose purposes are to create, maintain, and extend high standards of Christian character throughout the school and community should not die in a school with an enrollment of 1500, half of whom are boys.

The Red Cross was active throughout the year helping people all over the world. As one of its projects, the Club filled chests to be sent to disaster areas in this coun,try and abroad. Collecting money was quite easy for the Red Cross. Early in the year the Club sponsored the annual drive for enrollment. This year students contributed the fantastic amount of $350. This was almost seven times any amount ever collected in the past two years. Also among its projects for the year, the Club placed a wishing well in the second floor hall to help raise money for new band uniforms. Later in the year, Friendship Boxes were filled to be sent to children throughout the world. This club is responsible for not only helping the school but also for helping the needy of the world.

Being one of Abraham Lincoln's newest clubs didn't handicap Key Club from having a very successful year. A need was seen by the downtown Kiwanis Oub for Abraham Lincoln to have a club which would not only add to the total program of the school but also be of benefit to the community. With this in mind, a charter was obtained and Key Club launched into a busy year. Belonging to a national organization, which had already made rules and set up standards for these clubs, the boys found it easy to find jobs to be done where money was to be made. Helping at student assemblies was only a part of their projects. Besides its duties to the school the Oub also helped the downtown club with its annual pancake supper. Pouring coffee and serving hot cakes was just part of the fun . The boys found it very interesting to work with the men and learn about some proj ects which the club might do later in the year. Proving that a club of this nature can become a success. next year's membership was set up and Abraham Lincoln is looking for· ward to another year of the same.

The Medical Arts Club, under the sponsorship of Mrs. Mary Anderson, had a busy and profitable year. The purpose of the club is to provide information and activities for young people interested in medicine. The club toured the Jennie Edmundson and Clarkson Memorial Hospitals and asked many questions about equipment and training. Mrs. Harry Gittins, who instructs nurses' aides at Jennie Edmundson, talked to the girls on nursing in general. They also visited and toured Glenwood State School which shocked everyone, but made each member thankful fo r her blessings in having a sound mind and sound body. Other acti\'ities included the initiation party, where ne\v members were forced to sc rub the front steps with toothbrushes, and the many hours spent creating the c01:sages for the Homecoming flower sale. Concluding the yea r was the annual banquet honoring the senior members and their parents.

Mr. Wayne We.st spoke to the Future Teachers of America about an op· portunity to work with underprivileged, pre-school children. Secretary Betty Witzel and President J ean Cairney asked him about the program. FT A Encouraged and The Future Teachers of America with over a hundred members, was the largest club in the school ;nd the largest of its kind in the state. The members spent the year trying to find out what it would really be like to be a teacher and what traits and techniques they should acquire to help them become good teachers. Because of the double-shift schedule, it was necessary to alternate the after school meetings with dinner meetings. At the potluck. in October, Mrs. Fleet Cowan spoke to them about good groommg while several members of the club modeled the new fall fashions from the downtown stores. Officers for the coming year were elected in May, and Mr. Richard Turner spoke to them about parliamentary law. Getting home late from the Military Ball on Friday night did not keep eight brave FT A-ers and two tired sponsors from leaving very early Saturday morning for the State Convention in Des Moines.

Informed Future Teachers Although the Future Teachers Club was not given the opportunity to take over for the grade teachers when they had their meeting this year, two members of the club, Margaret Pettengill and Steve Wicklund, were student assistants in the special education classes at Dodge School. Steve and Margaret came to classes at A. L. for a half day and then assisted at Dodge School fo r the other half day. They received pay for their work, but the monetary benefit would never equal the invaluable experience they gained. The year closed with the traditional banquet fo r the seniors at Club 64, which was partly finan ced this year by the sale of address labels. This banquet is held each year to honor the graduating senior members of FT A. Since FT A is a career club, we can expect many of these same seniors to be graduating again in fo ur years and going on to swell the ranks of the teaching profession.

Test plots were checked and rechecked by some members while others busily prepared to sponsor the hay and grain show. As the year progressed, the budding young Henry Fields were active in the FFA sub-district contests and took part in the National FFA Week. FF A members also had an active social life. Durinp; the year they sponsored two school dances. At their first dance, the FF A Sweetheart of the Year, Nancy Anderson, was chosen. The profits from their second dance were donated to the March of Dimes. The most important event to the boys was the spring Parent and Son Banquet when they were presented with their honors and awards which they had earned during the year. At the honor assembly, Harold Kinney was presented with t~e 1965 DeKalb Agricultural Accomplishment Award. To receive this, he excelled in scholarship, leadership, and farm program activities throughout his high school career. OFFICERS PRESIDENT . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

It began with many hours at the library, reading about the year's topic : International Control of Nuclear Weapons. As the year progressed, tournaments began and the race was ~n for top honors. Saturday morninos found the debaters and theu . 0 coach, Miss Gloria Decker, up early. The maj ority of the tournaments were held in Omaha against stiff school competition. Nevertheless, Miss Decker's inspiration of the year was the mixed team Hybrid Tournament held at Abraham Lincoln. A big class turnover occurred at the semester when the class lost seven of its original ten members. Gaining two new members, the school continued to vie for tournament wins. Varsity teams made a good showing with the one big win of the first semester, the University of Omaha tournament. Second semester teams, novice and varsity combined, met competition with a good record. They took top honors at District and State tourneys. Charles Caughlan, the one surviving varsity member, was also first place winner in extemporaneous speech activities at Benson High in Omaha. Miss Decker is looking forwa rd to another successful year in the 196.5-66 season. It is hoped the class will be much larger, thus, giving everyone a chance to compete on a much larger scale. Until this yea r, debate has been one of those school functions that few even knew existed. To most, it sounded very dull even when they did happen to hea r someone mention it. The 1965 class would probably have disagreed with this view. Debaters have gained many things- knowledge, poise, self-confidence, adeptness of speech and a "lot of fun besides. On April 8, 1965 Abraham Lincoln debaters ap~eared on Teen Topics, a locally produced teenage discussion program. Schools are allowed to choose their own t o p i c s.

Some students injected "zip" into their school days by participating in plays-either as adors and actresses or in jobs of production. The membership of the Drama Club included those students who developed dramatic ability in school productions and had loads of fun doing it. Since meeting schedules were constantly interrupted by play practices, it was found necessary to hold supper meetings and evening social events. Several potluck suppers were held with special speakers in attendance. A memorable evening was spent with Dick Walters who told about his travels in Europe and the exciting life he leads in bringing musical productions to Iowans. Norman Filbert, a director of Chanticleer, (Council Bluffs' Community Play· house) described the Chanticleer season and invited all Drama Club members to the dress rehearsals of the plays. Both gentlemen ~nswered multiple questions concerning the world of drama. Miss Gloria Decker, debate coach, gave a "lively" demonstration on make-up at one meeting. Speech demonstrations by contestants were given at other meetings. Sixteen members earned 10 points thus becoming Thespians. OFFICERS PRESIDENT . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The Quill Club had two top-notch meetings during the past year when its members were stimulated and entertained by special speakers. Mr. Seth Hills, instructor in creative writing, started the year off with a flourish when he described the characteristics of good authors and explained how to develop latent talent. He discussed what students in high school could do for themselves by establishing a good foundation for future work. Later in the year, Mrs. Fritzi Jackson, the Women's Editor for the Nonpareil, enumerated the pros and cons of newspaper work as a career. She brought valuable infonnation about what schools of journalism were the best and why. Most of the meetings consisted of reading one's works so the fellow members could make constructive criticisms. In fact, original compositions were written by sophomores on "My Philosophy of Life" and were reviewed by last year's members. Twenty-five of the best compositions were selected and bids were sent to those sophomores to join the relatively new club. Fifteen responded as new members in the second year of the Oub's life in September, 1964.. At Christmas time, all the members took Ouistmas cheer to the rest homes as carolers. Future plans included car washes during the summer of 1965 so as to have an ample treasury to honor the seniors at a banquet in 1966. These graduates will include the charter members of the organization as it marks its third year. 177 178 Lynx Artists Inspired Others R\)W 1: La V_onne Auffart, Judy as ~ Barbara Pedersi;n, Judy Pester, Linda Waugh, Rita Renteria, Ellary Schnider.

Miss Lucy Miller, the librarian, fow1d these girls to be an invaluable help with the everyday routine of running the library. The members worked during their study halls checking and sorting books and making out those "horrid" overdue slips. During Book Week in November, the student librarians had a tea with the Library Clubs from Eastside and Wilson Junior Highs as guests. Miss Helen Kuo, Director of the Young Adult Department at the Public Library, discussed library work as a career. In March, several members attended the second meeting of the newly organized Southwest Iowa Student Librarians' Association which was held in Carson, Iowa. One Abraham Lincoln girl participated in a panel discussion on "Magazine Circulation and Storage." The Library Club is looking forward to the luxurious surroundings at Eastside in 1966, where bookwo1ms will multiply by the millions. OFFICERS FALL SPRING Linda Porter ......... .

Te t~g their qualifications as true Spaniards, all stalwart members with tough digestive systems ate tortillas, tacos, and tamales a t several dinner parties in Omaha. Members also stuffed themselves at s_everal potluck suppers held throughout the year while discussmg Spanish customs. All agreed that the trip to Joslyn Museum on January 21, where they viewed the Mexican Art Exhibit, was a very rewarding and educational experience. Excitement filled the air as club members received their pins. It was the first time in the club's history that these pins were issued. It is hoped old members will wear these pins with pride and stimulate incoming students to join in 1065-1966. ROW 1: Dave Lester Dave Lidgett, Jim Madsen, Steven Downey, Scott Sayles, Ron Ryan.

The ~~Deutsch'' Spelled Fun ~~Spass'' The German Club under the supervision of its new sponsor, Mrs. Eloise Nelson arrain enjoyed a fun-filled year. Several po~lu~k suppers highlighted its full schedule ?f meetings_ Gerri Pholyiem, the foreign exch?nge student from TJ:ia~l~nd . entertained members with a comparison of teenage act1v1t1es m her country and the United States. Sh~ also discussed ed cation~l opportunities in Thailand and what 1s taught about German history. As- a money-making project, a school dance was sponsored by the German Oub on March 26. In a weak and joking moment, the Spanish Oub challenged the German Club to a bowling duel in which the German Club came out victorious. To climax a "socializing" year, the German Club enjoyed a spring banquet at Club 64. This was an evening of tun and the nearly perfect attendance pleased Mrs. Eloise Nelson as she closed her first year of German Club activities. OFFICERS PRESIDENT . . . . . . . . . . . .

ROW 2: Patty Mullen, Claudia Tornblom, DeAnn Gerdeman, Judy Cheerleaders Spar Bees buzzed in the bonnets of the Varsity Oieerleaders during the summer when they heard about a cheerleading camp at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. With a belief that by improving their precision and learning new cheers they could spark a new interest in the students, Claudia Tornblom went to see Mr. Owen about financial assistance for the trip. As a result of her persuasive arguments, charming smile and bubbling enthusiasm, money was forwarded from the Road Show profits. A rummage sale during the summer yielded a good portion of the remaining fee and saved each girl a sizeable sum. On July 11, at 8 a.m. the following cheerleaders boarded a Greyhound bus from Omaha: Judy O'Brien, Claudia Tornblom, Susan Eakin, Judy Pester, Patty Mullen, Marilee Wilder, and Delores Lane. All who attended the camp agreed that the experience was weTI worth its weight in gold. Not only did they acquire many new cheering skills, but they grew to know each other better which was one of the greatest rewards of the trip. But carrYp certainly wasn't any place for those who were lazy ! Rising at 7 a.m. each morning- sore muscles and all- they began each day with vigorous exercises. Cheers were then practi ced until lunch after which there was a one-hour free period.

At the end of their four-day stay, the A.L. delegation returned with many new cheers, determined to renew the long-lost spirit at A.L. A new enthusiasm greeted the school year as the Cheerleaders 1 started it off with a late summer Pep Club meeting to which all A.L. girls were invited. The auditoriwn was nearly filled and the response was promising as the Cheerleaders taught everyone their new catchy cheers and told of future plans for the coming year. A second successful rummage sale was held in January. Here Judy Pester, as a broker, purchased very stylish, much needed articles for members of the basketball team. (???? ) With the profit, the girls paid for the new porn-porns which added extra" color and zip to the cheers. The ten Varsity Cheerleaders, filled with undying school spirit, presented several rousing pep assemblies with funn y skits-a real problem on a double-shift schedule. They represented A.L. at all athletic events cheering its athletes through victories and defeats. They appreciated aJI cooperation received from the student body and hope that all will catch the spirit- someday ! LAURA FLACK Laura contributed her new ideas and rare cheering talents to make A.L's cheers the best. JUDY CLODFELDER A charming brunette, Judy added zip and "bounce" to all yells-both old and new.

Reserve Cheerleaders Jumped and Whirled Last fall a flock of anxious sophomore girls gathered in the gym, hopeful of becoming a reserve cheerleader. After two or three 7 a.m. practices with the varsity cheerleaders, the girls were on th~ir own to perfect their required cheer and three jumps for the tryouts two weeks later. Each girl was judged on appearance, voice, and crowd appeal as well as co-ordination. Many a nervous girl auditioned before the panel of judges consisting of the varsity cheerleaders, Mrs. Cora Quick Coker (a dancing instructor), Mrs. Barbara McCowen and Miss Patricia Hadley (the sponsors of the cheerleaders), plus women faculty members and various coaches. After the results were posted, the chosen eight faced the responsibility of cheering for sophomore football games. Along with this responsibility came hard work and continuous morning practices devising new and better cheers. As the season progressed, they cheered at sophomore basketball games on Saturday mornings .and at junior varsity contests, which preceded the varsity games. A few sophomore cheerleaders followed the reserve wrestling team and cheered at its various matches throughout the season. As spring approached, the busy year for the cheerleaders closed. They had gained poise and self-confidence as well' as enthusiasm which led them into trying for a varsity position.

For a while, the spark was felt as members participated in various fall activities including the Homecoming parade, half-time ceremonies, and the Homecoming dance which they sponsored. Later in the fall, a group of ambitious club members constructed a float for the United Fund parade, thus representing the entire student body. The main accomplishment of the year was the purchase of new uniforms which replaced the traditional red sweater and white skirt. The new blue A-line skirts and weskits attractively distinguished a Pep Club member. ROW 1: Michaelcen Collins, Patty Blanchard, Mary Ferguson, Marcia Parker, Wanda Anderson.

This organization has helped countless members of students of Europe, Asia, Africa and South America, to understand America better by bringing them into close r contact with Americans their own age. Meetings were informal and members became familiar with the many traditions and customs of the various countries of the globe. By asking and answering questions and learning to live side by side, Americans and their foreign visitors learned to recognize and accept the differences that Ee t us apart and the bonds that unite us. One of the activities which highlighted the end of the academic year for AFS'ers was a steak-fry at Kiwanis Lodge.

You'll grow to like them, especially if you come back to America again. Gruezi, International understanding is undoubtedly one of the keys to international cooperation. As an American Field Service exchange student to Switzerland last summer, I learned that direct contact with a foreign people is one of the best ways to achieve this understanding. My two Swiss families, the Wermelingers and the Kohlers, took me on many trips around the country and taught me much about Swiss life. Swiss families are generally more closely knit than American famili es, probably because no one can attend a movie until he is 16, or drive a car until he is 18. Swiss schools, like those throughout Europe, aim to educate only the top students with many of the others dropping out to attend a technical school or to go into apprenticeship. Going abroad for hvo and a half months, and traveling en route with 600 fell o~v AFS'ers was an experience I'll never forget.

Young Politicians Campaigned The purpose of the Democratic Teen-agers, like its Republican counterpart, was to promote an interest in the principles of politics and government. Since 1961 was an election year, the Dem-Teens were busier than ever! Besides rooting for their candidates, they canvassed several of the city's precincts in search of potential voters who were not registered. On election night members were found throughout the city at various polling centers passing out literature. The biggest and most important project ever undertaken by the club was an overnight trip to Des Moines. While in the capital city, members toured the Statehouse. They were also introduced on the floor of the Senate. Afterwards they met and talked with Governor Harold E. Hughes. To help finance this rather expensive project, r . the the Dem-Teens sponsored a car wash and a candy sale ear ier m year. Despite the fact this club had only been in existence for the past two years, the members' indi vidual interest a nd enthusiasm has proved to make the Dem-Teens one of the most active clubs on the A.L. scene. It was a great year for these young Democrats to rejoice in the Democratic landslide ! OFFICERS PRESIDENT . .... . . .

The club's activities were concluded with a picnic held at Kiwanis with Avoca and Lewis Central TARS. "Win a few, lose a few!" was the motto of the TARS, but all-inall, the club provided much fun and "munch" fun to those who were interested in the principles of the GOP.

Athletics united A.L. into a spirited grollp of young people, whether the team was winning or losing. Sports instilled a feeling of pride for the achievements of the school both on and off the field. Grueling hours of practice plus rigid discipline molded individual characters and made a smooth running and competitive team. Courage, perseverance, sacrifice and strengthboth physical and mental-were experienced by participants in any sport. Lessons were learned from competitive sports which were not learned in a classroom. With the changing of the seasons the sports picture fell into a kaleidescopic pattern. Helmets crashing together on an autumn night, the swish of a basketball through the net, the thud of an opponent on a mat, the towering blast of a home-run, a tennis ball caught up in a smashing volley, and the explosive surge of a runner bursting the tape--these were but a few of the colorful pieces in the sports pattern at Abraham Lincoln High School. 193 194 Jlo.meconuflg 2ueen 7Je:7lnn 9erdeman The Suspense Was Terrific PRINCESS DONNA GOHLINGHORST Homecomin CY events were unprecedented in 1964-1965. In the b first place, Mrs. Mary Anderson, bookkeepin"g instructor, was Homecoming Coordinator. And coordinate, she did! Each class spent long hours creating floats to enter the contest. The seniors made a whale, denoting "A Whale of a Victory" over T.J. The juniors made "A Stairway to the Stars" and the sophomores designed a can of Raid to stamp out the Yell ow Jackets. A pep raJly around a giant bonfire was held on Thursday night before Friday's Homecoming game. The original pile of wood was burned on Wednesday night by "guess who?" Enthusiasm reached a new peak as the second pile grew higher and higher. That night was a brilliant success, accented by a full moon. Friday dawned bright and clear. School was dismissed early to witness the Homecoming Parade which fonned promptly at 2 :30, General Anderson in command. Units included the Band, the Cheerleaders, the Pep Club, the three class floats, the Parents' Booster Banner truck, and the Homecoming candidates, each in a shiny convertible. PRINCESS LINDA KESSLER After the parade, everyone went home to await game time. Five thousand spectators thronged Kirn Field to watch the traditional AL-TJ b"attle. The evening was perfect-crisp and clear. With the score 12-6 in TJ's favor, half-time festivities began. Richard Morris, Master of Ceremonies, set the stage as he annow1ced the theme of the evening, "Stars. " The band marched on to the field followed by the Pep Oub which formed a heart pierced by the cheerleaders. As the band played favorite tunes, rockets exploded in the darkening sky showering the field with multi-colored stars. New, dazzling convertibles encircled the fi eld. Rich Morris, in his own clever way, held everyone in suspense as he announced the princesses, Donna Gohlinghorst and Linda Kessler. Then when he annow1ced lovely DeAnn Gerdeman as Queen, a jet flew over as everyone applauded and cheered when DeAnn was crowned and kissed by football captains John McKinley and Ron Sullivan. The game was a thriller all the way and a moral victory was won with a ti e score : 18-18. 195 Homecoming Events Packed ' HOMECOMING COURT SEATED: Deann Esancy, Mary Ann Over, Nancy Anderson, Marilee Wilder.

The nightmarn of the first TJ game and the superb comeback of an 18-18 tie in the second game, was a picture of the team's spirit.

The hills and bluffs of Council Bluffs make ideal spots for this type of tra ining although athletes living in the plains participate also. When a competitive meet is held, boys run an established route. The boy who comes in first gets one point and the boy who comes in second gets two points and so on. The school with the lowest score wins the meet and all the successive schools place according to when they crossed the finish line. Cross-country is another one of those sports where a fellow competes with himself. 205 20b Wrestlers ~~p· d'' inne ROW I: Jack Fauble, Randy Barritt, Richard Brown, Chuck Fauble, Ronnie Barritt ROW 2· G M · Knight, Rick Jacobs, Dan Salin. • · ary omson, John McKinley, Ron Sullivan, Tom Walsh, Alan The Abraham Lincoln wrestling team had a most successful 1964- 65 season. This team was outstanding among the winter sports teams by earning a <J-3 record. Some of the tough matches were with TJ, Benson, and Westside. The team received the McDonald Traveling Trophy in its second match with T.J. An unusual feature of the team was that there were Randy and Ronnie Barritt, Jack and Chuck Fauble, .and Jerry and Mike McHugh. A special tribute should be paid to coaches Mr. Tom Lara and Mr. Ronald Holland . Mr. Tom Lara, a graduate of Abraham Lincoln, coached the grapplers for his eleventh year. He graduated from Omaha University in 1954 and has taught at Abraham Lincoln since then. Coach Lara, while at college, wrestled for three years on the varsity team. During his years of varsity wrestling, he lettered all three years and finished second at the AA U wrestl inp: meet held in Omaha. C:oach Holland had never wrestled unti l he came to Iowa from Northwest Missouri State College. However, he played baseball, which probably contributed to his keen and quick coaching ability.

She was an active member of FT A, and served as vice-president of the German Club. Her genuine interest in music was shown as she portrayed one of the leads in the sophomore operetta, "So This· Is Paris." Ann was filled with school spirit which was clearly indicated by her active participation in school functions. A peppy and friendly girl, she has a multitude of friends. Her goal in life is to go to college and then to travel. Ann delights in -a bowl of pistachio ice cream and prefers " tall, dark-haired boys," she added, "even if this statement may cause conflicts." Susan Eakin, a pretty blonde, was selected by her fellow classmates as junior princess. This brown-eyed young miss displayed her musical ability as a participant in many productions including "My Fair Lady," "The Singing Freshman," and "Frontier Follies". Possessing admirable leadership characteristics, she was active in Student Council and served as secretary of the junior class. Her poise and attractive appearance were evident as she modeled throughout the year for Nebraska Oothing Company. As a cheerleader, her enthusiasm sparked A.L. teams on to victory. Susan's goal in life is to do her best-trying to succeed in all her endeavors. When asked what type of boy she preferred she exclaimed, "Why, short and blonde-naturally !" :.Princess :7/nn Junyruisl 211 Short Cagers Had a Tough Time A short, scrappy crop of cagers started off the 1965-'66 campaign in a determined effort to improve the previous year's record. With seniors Ty Bonnan, Bob Bragg, Bruce Fleming, Mike Evans, and Grant Loyd seeing most of the action in early season play, the Lynx notched two victories in the first four starts. As the season progressed, taller opponents took their toll and only two out of the next twelve games were won before tournament time. Underclassmen Denny Noehren, Dick Price, Jim Leslie, and Rodney Kessler cracked the starting line-up in an effort to provide more scoring punch, but lack of experience allowed opponent's scoring to increase also. The boys from the hilltop whipped Lewis Central in their first tournament action but fell to Shenandoah in their second encounter. Noehren, Price, Leslie, Kessler, Terry Stickels, and Denny Zimmerman will greet A.L's new basketball mentor next year with the experience they gained the year before in trying to improve Lynx basketball fortunes.

Last year for the first time, the J.V.'s played the games before the scheduled conference varsity contests. Led by 6'5" Steve Jones, the J.V.'s compiled an 8-9 record in the tough Metropolitan League. Steve scored 144 points and hauled down 181 rebounds for the season. Balance was the strong point, however, as Larry Mitchell, Byron Grote, Fred Carpenter, Tom Pyper, and Tim Smith all scored over 100 points for the year. Mitchell and Grote also had 131 and 124 boards, respectively. Although the boys lost one more than they won, they outscored their opponents 1048 to 963 and outrebounded them 768 to 515. Mr. Starley Carr, also in his first year of coaching, led a fine crop of sophomore cagers to an 8-3 record. These boys also had a tough schedule but their performance was quite creditable. The two leading scorers and rebounders were Randy Eyre with 14.2 points per game and 7.7 rebounds, and Steve Downey bringing in 9.3 rebounds and scoring at a 12.2 clip per game.

The names of the lucky girls were revealed on April 30 at a dance sponsored by the Key Oub. An Omaha combo, The Dynamics played for the memorable occasion. Candidates were introduced by Paul Brooks. First, Cindy McIntosh escorted by Jim Lykke was named Sophomore Princess. Joan Hamilton was the choice for Junior Princess. Her escort was Mike Moore. And at last- the moment everyone had so long awaited- Paula Rasmussen was crowned queen of the Spring Sports festivities. Paula's escort was Grant Loyd. , The candidates for this occasion were voted on by the entire student body. Each class chose its own three representatives. They were: sophomores, Ann Jungqui5 t, Christy Spetman and Cindy Mcintosh; juniors, Linda Hunt, Judy Clodfelder, and Joan Hamilton; seniors, Barb Bowen, Martha Beno and Paula Rasmussen. All boys participating in a spring sport v~ ed and from these candidates chose their queen and princesses. Everyone agreed that the boys made a fine choice. Queen Paula's warm and friendly ways won the hearts of all her fellow students and made her truly deserving of the honor bestowed upon her. Editor-in-chief of the yearbook, Paula was also elected to the Prom Court. She was a cheerleader in her sophomore year, and a faithful member of the Pep Club in her junior and senior years. There is nothing quite like being a Queen and also a twin. The spring athletes made a wise choice in their selection of Joan Hamilton as junior princess. Joan has shown true school spirit as a member of the Pep Club to which she was elected president for 1965-1966. Possessing a bubbling personality, her friends are numerous but only her close friends know about her artistic talent. Princess Cindy was one of the leading ladies in the sophomore operetta, "So This Is Paris," and showed further interest in acting as a member of the Drama Club. A very talented cheerleader, Cindy served as a junior varsity cheerleader and was also a member of the Pep Club and German Club. Petite Cindy was hailed by all as a popular princess. ?rincess Ginc/j YJ(c!7nlos.h 221 222 Five school records highlighted the 1965 track season. Bruce Fleming and Mike Evans set individual records in the 440 and 880-yard runs respectively. Three new school standards were also set in the sprint medley, mile, and 2-mile relays. The medley team was especially productive. Fleming, Jim Demory, Grant Loyd, and Evans combined for several area records which included a Southwest Iowa record at the Drake Relays. The mile relay quartet of John Ranney, Rick Turner, Fleming, and Evans ran 3 :28.9 for a ti e for second on the Southwest Iowa list.

Spring baseball brings to mind sore arms, broken bats, new ball gloves, shiny spikes, and dreams of the big leagues. For the past several years, A.L. has been blessed with individual fine-performing ball players, but a winning combination couldn't be found. Spring came late and the Lynx were plagued with inexperi enced young talent. Several ea rly games were lost by a slim one-run margin, and several were lost by 9 or 10 runs. Emerging from this spree, four games were placed on the winning card and vast game experience was gained. Promising hopefuls for next year include pitchers: Dick Price, Mike Moore, Gary Nelson and Dennis Zimmennan.

The 1965 edition of the Lynx golf team posted an impressive 4-1 record to tie with Benson for the National League Championship. The golf team participated in a sectional tournament in Atlantic and topped with second place thus qualifying for the District Tournament. Although the boys took only third place in the District Tournament the season was consid- ' ered to be a success. Boys should note that only two varsity members, Bill Cutler and BiJI Hughes, remain to make the nucl eus of the '65- '66 team.

Winning all but one match, the season ended with a very respectable 5-1 record. Leading the list as singles players were Carol Sieck and Joan Bartling. The two top doubles teams consisted of Kathy Barnes-Betty Christiansen and Mary Ann Garafalo-Cathy Jo Bussey. These girls, along with several other reserve racketeers, helped make this one of AL's best seasons for girls' tennis. Carol Sieck, Joan Bartling, and the doubles team of Kathy Barnes-Betty Christiansen were entered in the district tennis meet at Red Oak. Although Carol and Joan lost their match, Kathy and Betty came through to win theirs. This gave them the opportunity to participate in the state meet at Waterloo. These girls won a moral victory as they were defeated by the Iowa doubles champions. Joan Bartling demonstrated her skill at serving. Downed • Ill Only One Match ~TANDING: Bill Olsen, Ron Daniels, Rich Stoufer, Bob Shockey, Paul Ellerbeck. SEATED: Dave Wicklund, Mark ennett, Chuck Fauble, Lynn Manhart. Paul Ellerbeck inserted a dance step in his back swing! Tennis must not be an attractive sport for juniors since only one junior, Ron Daniels, participated. The balance of the team, nine members, were sophomores and seniors. Senior Paul Ellerbeck and sophomore Bob Shockey, teamed up to take second place in the district tournament. Lynn Manhart and Rich Stoufer, also seniors, lost only one intercity doubles match to South High of Omaha. Bob Shockey as number two singles lost a match to South also.

Dave Jahn SPONSORS Warren Kruse Charles Francis Dave Jahn, Grant Loyd, Bruce Fleming, and Rick Young added another athletic trophy to the school's collection. Lettermen have something in common. They all know the monotony of practice, the agony of defeat, and the thrill of victory. This is perhaps wh y the Lettermen's Club was organized many years ago by the athletes at Abrah am Lincoln. The club is appropriately called " Hon or Lynx" now. This yea r the Club got off to a good start by making Homecoming run a little smoother. The boys themselves removed the old bricks on the dri ve at Kirn Field and had the driveway asphalted inside the gates. The Honor Lynx sponsored several school dances to help finance the athleti c banquets. A hayrack ride was the highlight of the "Honor Lynx" yea r. The ride was followed by a weiner roast which was enj oyed by the lettermen a nd their dates. Several meetings were held to reorgani ze the constitution o f the cl ub with the result th at athl eti c poli cy will continue to be set by the Honor Lynx.

ROW 3: Dennis Korth, Joseph Hauser, Starley Carr, Charles Francis, William Beasley. I Coaching a team is a time-consuming but rewarding challenge. t means keeping late hours for practices and games, spending tense moments on the bench, and eating a cold supper alone. On the other hand, it means establishing close contact with young athletes, building strong bodies and characters, and gaining the respect and the admiration of these young people. - Accepting the challenge of coaching, the A.L. coaches lead their respective teams proudly and positively. This vigorous group of men and women with their infectious optimism can raise the hopes of both team and fans alike even in the face of defeat. The A.L. student body can be grateful that it has the advantage of such a capable and dedicated coaching staff. WILLIAM T. BEASLEY Gymnastics ·STARLEY CARR ROY F. LAWSON CHARLES R.

" That was the question asked by many students at the crack of dawn each school day. It either meant getting up on time or securing a pink pass begrudgingly written by Mr. Ross or Mrs. Hoffman. Thus with not too keen a mind, but a willing spirit, each school day began. The life of a student, whether a beginning sophomore or an over-the-hill senior, was different and constantly changing. Busy work, recitations, tests, and labs were an everyday occurrence to someone. Life at A.L. was not always dull work and study. 111ere was a lot of fun to be shared also. Student life was a kaleidoscope of activities of work and play. Lines at the drinking fountains . . . birthday parties . . . congregating in the halls ... football games under the brisk autumn skies . . . basketball games in stuffy gyms . . . dull club meetings after school . . . dances ... dates .. . all of these made our years a t A.L. a little more pleasant. The school year of 1965 has ended. Life through those hallowed halls is now a thing of the past. The joys, the tea rs, and the achievements have become lasting memories. 237 Misery Is Not Having Joey and Buddy got one last crack at the track before bedtime.

As if graduation wasn't enough for one night! Worn out described those who survived that night of merrymaking at the commencement party. The senior blast was held at the Elks Club and everybody came in grubs, duds, and swimming togs. The night was cool for those who preferred watching fish on the dock to popcorn fi ghts. The water was warm for those who couldn't find anything else to drink, and the swinging "Authentics" were really great. "Wanted by the FBI" Dancing the Freddy, the jerk, and the frug-not to mention all the "shouting"-made the evening fly. Between " jerks" everybody deYoured potato chips and popcorn and "guzzled" 7-Ups and Pepsies. When hunger struck, a breakfast of scrambled eggs, sausage, and rolls was served. Everybody was sad to see it end, but after all, one has to sleep some time. "Back field in motion" 243 244 dvertisements Council Bluffs is many things-homes, traffic, people, and businesses. The neon signs on Broadway create a kaleidoscope of design as travelers drive through town. Blinking lights, rushing shoppers, and competing businessmen bring to mind that the Crimson and Blue of 1965 is not complete without paying tribute to Council Bluffs businessmen for their financial assistance in its publication. Advertising, large or small, provided that much more working capital to bring students the best yearbook ever. As sponsors and managers pored over financial ledgers, staff members pleaded, begged and bribed Council Bluffs businessmen to help support the annual. These advertising pages are presented in the hopes that the reader and advertiser alike, will be satisfied. A sincere and hearty "Thanks!" is extended to Council Bluffs from all at Abraham Lincoln for helping to make the 1965 Crimson and Blue the biggest in the history of the school. 245 240 "Allowances are for the birds!"

ROBERT BROWN The Crimson and Blue Staff took great pleasure in dedicating its book to Mr. W. Robert Brown . .As a member of the Abraham Lincoln faculty for seventeen years, he has been a dedicated and conscientious teacher, respected by students and teachers alike. Juniors will always remember his neat and attractive room-a room truly indicative of Mr. Brown's character and ambition. Colorful bulletin boards and illustrative pictures make American Literature live for his students. College students remember his exacting and thorough methods and deeply appreciate his training. Thinking of Mr. Brown. in retrospect evokes memories of "Thanafopsis," Emily Dickinson, punctuation, Whitman, the topic sentence, "The Raven," and, of course, lesson plans. Preciseness and perfection were passwords in Mr. Brown's classes. "Mr. Brown, among your hundreds of books may this be the most treasured ." MRS. VIOLA BICHEL MR. HAROLD STOUT WE REMEMBER ... . .

RUSSEL MOURER Superintendent Countless hours were spent by the School Board in reviewing plans for completion of the new Abraham Lincoln High School and the remodeling of the present Abraham Lincoln building for a junior high facility. Plans for additions to Thomas Jefferson High School and a complete new athletic field for wse by both high schools were also outlined. With funds from the Federal Education Act, the Board implemented new special education programs. They worA.L.'s Problems MR. RAYMOND JONES Assistant Superintendent ried and wrestled with a mounting budget but succeeded in upgrading salary schedules of all school personnel. Due to the retirement of Mr. Russel Mourer, many candidates were interviewed by the Board for the position of Superintendent of the Council Bluffs schools. As a result, the Board elected Dr. Robert Benton, who assumed his new duties July l, 1966. SEATED: Carl Ec ~e rt, Mrs. U. J. Coll ignon, Leste r Haas.

ROBERT ABBAS M.A.-Colorado State College Guidance Department Gained Prestige A representative from Mt. Holyoke College interviewed Nancy Karr at the suggestion of Mr. George Lindsay, counselor. Browsing through college catalogs and yearbooks was a profitable activity in the guidance office. By listening and looking, it was possible to learn about . scholarships and tests which made one a progressive senior- a senior with a goal. George Lindsay, head counselor, attended a seminar in the east which made him semi-expert in military ·fields. Richard Schoeppner and Robert Abbas advised all inquiring students about scholarship and aptitude tests as well as giving assistance in course changing. and schedule changing. Personal problems were revealed behind closed doors with practical solutions bringing about better work between students and teachers. Following the usual division of work, the deans, Mr. Gerald Ross and Mrs. Lucile Hoffman checked the attendance of irregular students . endeavoring in each case to convince the delinquents the advantages of regular atte ndance. Patience and persistence were the keys which proved invaluable in the guidance department. In all its service, the Guidance Department not only worked for the student while he was in school, but also helped him prepare for his future. MR. GERALD ROSS Dean of Boys MRS. LUCILE HOFFMAN Dean of Girls Complex -Duties Kept Capable Secretaries Busy Mrs. Boyd Walker, Mrs. Curt Maher, and Mrs. Rae Williams patiently awaited "the student onslaught. Do these words sound familiar to you? "Fill out this green pass and sign the tardy list." "Put the pen back in the well." "You · are supposed to sign out on this list, not on that one." "Can't you ever remember your locker key?" As you might guess, the secretaries spent much time "running" after students but they each had other important duties. Mrs. Boyd Walker started her day bright and early by calling substitute teachers. She also wrote recommendations, enrolled new students, and assisted Mr. Owen. For Mrs. Curt Maher, the morning hours were filled with checking attendance and compiling the "absence" list. She served as Mr. Owen's secretary and in her spare (?) moments, she rolled off those "crumby" tests. Mrs. Rae Williams kept track of every penny from every activity and sold bright crimson and blue covers. The guidance secretary, Mrs. Lawrence Workman, found her work very interesting while helping students with test schedules and career information. The continuous demand for transcripts by college-bound students left her with never a dull moment. The philosophy of the secretaries was: "You make the records-we'll keep them." Mrs. Lawrence Workman supervised Connie lester and Joelle Maue r while they filed cumulative records. MRS. BOYD WALKER ~-~ MRS. CURT MAHER MRS. RAE WILLIAMS MRS. LAWRENCE WORKMAN 15 16 Traffic Was Heavy • In Library Francis Clark used the card file to gain needed information. The library gained 200 new books, the most popular one being Gift of Joy by Helen Hayes. Many books like freedom Bound by Henrietta Buckmaster and The Making of the President, 1964 by Theodore White were secured to assist students with term papers. It was much easier to secure back issues of magazines for reference material since they were placed in cubicles 'on top of the book shelves. Current magazines were still available in the magazine rack. Traffic in the library was the greatest during the last six weeks of the semester when scores of students wrote term papers. Librarians and students alike drew a sigh of relief when the deadlines were passed. LUCY MILLER B.L.S.-lll inois Univ. Librarian SPONSOR, Library Club NORMA HEATON Libra ry Cl erk SPONSOR, Library Club Student Librarian, Joan Burry, took time to thumb through one of the new books. Mrs. Norma Heaton was really busy as students swarmed to the library at term-pape r time. ·Modern Math Stumped Parents ERVA HUCKLEEBER RY B.A.- Park Col lege Geometry, Algebra 111 SPONSOR, Yearbook FRED MAHER B.S.-N. W. Missouri Stale Geometry COACH, Track Courses in mathematics proved to be a challenge not only to students, but to parents as well. In order to help with homework, it was essential that parents not confuse the math of their textbooks with the new "Modern Math." Geometry was an insurmountable hurdle to some sophomores who were forced to change courses due to its difficulty. Mr. Fred Maher and Mr. James Shook encouraged their students to. work in groups, hoping that the work would be more interesting to those who found it difficult. This plan was modified the second semester when classes were divided into "fast" and "slow" groups. As a result, everyone was challenged to do his best.

Fifty of his students took the math test sponsored by the Mathematics Association of America. Beginning at 7 a.m. on March l 0, 1966, these students struggled through forty difficult problems. Dean McMullen, Anne Ryerson and Byron Grote scored seventeenth in the test in the State of Iowa . Other students participated in a contest sponsored by Creighton University in April in which Dan Bender and Linda R. Jensen achieved third place. These basic math courses were time-consuming but all College Prep students realized they would pay off in college. Byron Wilkinson and Dean McMullen listened intently to Mr. Orville Miller's explanation of a difficult Math 8 problem. Frank Whitsell proved an original in Honors Geometry. • 17 18 MRS.

Sophomores were introduced to the world of "Wo rd Power;'' juniors became acqua inted with Tho rnton Wilder's "Our Town;" and seniors "suffered" the tragedy of "Macbeth." Thanks to hours of preparational study by two ambitious teachers, students this year were g iven a · chance to broaden their English skills and achie ve - ments in accele rated classes known as " Honors English." Juniors, under the direction of Mrs. Kitty Keho, New College Prep readers were acquired in Mr. Seth Hills' "honors" class to enrich the course and stimulate thinking and d iscussion. SETH T.

Students became familiar with the method of independent study and learned to approach literature from an analytical viewpoint. Mr.. Seth T. Hills challengt!d seniors in his "honors" class with philosophical discussions such as "What is Truth?" which encouraged the college-bound pupils to freely express their opinions. In preparation for future campus English classes, the students were required to test their "pen-skills" with creative as well as impromptu themes and to use their oratorical ability with the familiar "one-minute'' speeches. Time spent in the English classroom was a time of learning, of discovery, and of preparation for future vocations. H.

LARA B.A.-Omaha Un iversity Span ish SPONSOR, Span ish Club COACH, Wrestling MRS . ELOISE NELSON B.A.-Augustana College German SPONSOR, German Club Spanish has been taught at Abraham Lincoln for many years by Mr. Tomas Lara, a graduate of AL. Mr. Lara could speak Spanish as a small child before he spoke English, since this was the conversational language in his home. He lived in Mexico while he went to college and his students receive interesting personal comments about life in Mexico. With the approach of each holiday, his students learned new Spanish songs. The major project of the second-year Spanish students was an essay written in Spanish about a South American country. All agreed Spanish was interesting with Mr. Lara as he played professional and amateur tapes made by budding Spanish students. French Was Added to German classes ranked equal with Spanish classes in enrollment. Students elected German as their foreign language requirement with the idea that they may travel in Europe for pleasure or as a man in service. Mrs. Eloise Nelson taught her students with the available laboratory equipment plus a textbook -all in German! German stories were fun in firstyear classes, while articles about the geography and history of Germany proved enlightening in secondyear classes. German students will forget their vocabularies, but they will always remember the worry connected with vocabulary tests. "And they all lived happily ever after," remarked Senor Lara as he finished translating a Spanish love story. "More nightwork!" thought Mrs. Nelson as she patiently waited for her German students to finish their tests. th·e Language Department Margy Moe h " special island" while seemed to be Jost on er own Mrs. Escobar showed a film in French class. With the opening of the 1965-1966 school year, Abraham Lincoln students had the opportunity to study French for the first time in fifteen years. Mrs. Mary Escobar, who majored in French, was most enthusiastic, but fearful. Who wouldn't be fearful about teaching a modern language with a complicated language laboratory! However, Mr. Tomas Lara, "an old Spanish pro," taught her what to push and pull so that French came out of the earphones instead of German or Spanish. Modern teaching of foreign languages emphasizes the use of tapes correlated with films. Since the acquisition of the language laboratory, this m~thod was used not only in French but also in Spanish and German. The ultimate goal was reached as the students learned to speak in French. This ability will be invaluable to those who are lucky enough to go to France or Europe. "I learned my English better in Latin class than· I did in English class," was a common remark among Latin students. Years ago, Latin was elected by most students to fulfill their language requirement and it was taught every period of the day. Some students even took it for four years-but not now! Conversational languages a.re the new vogue. However, present-day students studied their grammar until they almost knew why one dots an "i" and crosses a "t." Mr. Donald Scheibeler, who studied several years for the priesthood, made Latin students experts in conjugations and declensions, to say nothing about case endings. English teachers noted that Latin .. students were real detectives in Word Power. Latin may be dead, but it lives on in stronger English foundations. "Of course, the real Trojan horse was much larger," stated Ben Polak as he displayed his Latin project. DONALD C. SCHEIBE LER B.A.- Conccption Abbey Latin MRS.

Scientists are knocking on new doors in medicine, agriculture, and industry; and the science department at A.L. helped students find new worlds back of these doors. The cure for cancer and beneficial uses of the atom lie behind these doors, but every A.L. student who had scientific curiosity was searching for answers to other immed iate problems. Students received a taste of chemistry, physics, biology, and physical science last year. In biology, students studied the orig in, development, structure and functions of plants and animals. Some juniors and seniors, studying about the composition of matter in chemistry, decided upon new careers. A knowledge of the phenomena of matter and energy and the physical changes in matte r opened a new door to some. With twenty-five science classes filled to capacity, many opportunities in scientific exper iments and lectures were offered for challenge and study to A.L. students.

DELORES YOUNGMAN B.M E.-Simpson College Vocal Music WILLIS ARMSTRONG B.M.E.-Kcnscs University Instrumental Music Music and Art Added Lucky students with time, energy, desire, and adjustable schedules participated in courses offered by the Fine Arts Department. Approximately one-hundred students enjoyed band every morning during first period, while thirty-one enrolled in orchestra fourth period. Dance band and pep band were interesting, tangent organizations for the more enthusiastic band members. Mr. Willis Armstrong, band director for the second year, still radiated music and spirit as he directed his groups in concerts and half-time performances. Students who didn't play an instrument, but desired music in their school days, sang in glee, chorus, concert choir, or some special group. The fall was filled with South Pacific; and the winter program was climaxed by the annual Christmas concert, in co~junction with the Instrumental Music Department. Memories of this program included Mrs. Delores Youngman in her bright red dress, and the punch and cookies served by the PT A. The sophomores filled the gymnasium w ith Christmas spirit. Color to Schedules Mr. David Linkey directed the senior groups, and Mrs. Delores Youngman directed the underclassmen, in preparation for the two-day music clinic held in the spring, with a city concert presented in the Thomas Jefferson Fieldhouse. The Art Department had the most varied courses of any department in the school. Some did charcoal drawings and oil painting while others did ceramic work, wire sculpturing and mobiles. Various contests included the Christmas Card Contest, student directory covers, plus Abraham Lincoln drawings. The art room was one of the most attractive in the school, since student products of creativity were displayed everywhere. At the Festival of Arts, the Art Department held the center of attention with huge displays of all types of art work. Students in this department were truly lucky to have Mrs. Berniece Ross encourage and develop them in areas of art. The Fine Arts Department offered opportunities to develop hidden talents and brought added joys to the routine of ordinary days. Roger Aughe, Peggy J enkins, Bob Browne, and Joan Hamilton learned many phases of art from drawing portraits to shaping clay. "All right, class. We will begin at the top of page six, the fifth line, the fourth word in the third verse," directed Mrs. Delores Youngman." Mr. Will is Armstrong took a bow for the orchestra's great performance. 27 28 Business Was Good in the "Linda, your application for Miss Universe is typed all wrong!" Mrs. Sinnett scolded Linda Mel ntosh. Time out for the Business Department! This was a group of subjects which were taught, but too often ignored or even forgotten within the realms of these Halls of Learning. "Not a fore ign tongue, just a shorter way of writing," was the motto of Mrs. Leona Heaps who taught first-year shorthand. Although these classes were held in the homemaking rooms due to crowded ' conditions, students were still able to learn the techniques of taking dictation skillfully for use with their future employers. You get the taxpayers' dollar worth when you enter Mr. Thurman Johnson's typing classes. Within Room 101 you were taught the hows and whys of running a typewriter.

KATHRYN WHITSON B.S.-low"a State University Vocational Homemaking SPONSOR, Homemaking Club Fragrant aromas of freshly baked bread and broiled ham, the whir of sewing machines, and the buzz of discussion groups were typical characteristics of A.L's Home Economics Department. The sometimes inadequate facilities of the department were put to full use through the ingenuity and inspiration of the department's two teachers. S,ophomores, under the blonde supervision of Miss Nancy Gerdes, prepared foods from appetizers to desserts with only a minimum of disasters. To make their garments appear less "homemade" was the main objective of t~eir pattern alterations. For the first time sophomores were able to do a brief study of house planning. Discussions were also held on dating and family life. Mrs. Kathryn Whitson's cheerful smile welcomed a new group of students each semester. Overtime seemed to be the specialty of her advanced sewing class,. as students struggled with pattern alterations and special tailoring techniques. Since it was only the second year for house planning and interior decorating, this course was still quite new for both students and teacher. Young ideas were added to even younger ideas in the marriage and family living course. Still young enough to remembe r their high school days accurately, and yet old enough to manage a household, both teachers added practical touches to their courses. Shop Acquired Safety Features JACK T. SHANNON B.G.E.-Omaha University Woodworking SPONSOR, Practical Mechan ics VONNIE TANG.EMAN B.A.-Nebra ska State Teachers Drafti ng It has long been agreed that much satisfaction and practical experience can be gained by enrolling in one of the three woodworking courses offered at " Abraham Lincoln. In the fall of '65 the shop 'was found to be lacking in safety features. Under the capable direction of Mr. Jack Shannon, the Practical Mechanics class replaced a portion of the floor. After the installation of three new pieces of equipment, a non-skid surface was painted around each machine to make the shop a safer place in which to work. As another safeguard, fluorescent lighting took the place of the obsolete lighting in the main work room. Although the addition of these safety features delayed work, they were greatly appreciated when projects were finally started.

Scared! Shaky! White with fright! These adjectives described all driving student's first time at the wheel. Confidence grew with experience as the routine was learned and everybody (including Mr. Albert Worley) relaxed. There were many hair raising incidents and several close calls as students learned to drive, but nothing too serious ever happened. Carrying his First Aid Kit on every trip proved to be a good luck charm. A regular class session was held sevALBERT S. WORLEY B.S.- Northwest Missouri Driver Education enth period every day when Mr. Worley lectured on the right and wrong way to drive. Many student hours were spent on outlines and notebooks and reviewing for tests. Speaking of tests- the final was a "killer" taking ~ntil 5 o'clock for completion. Parents appreciated this course since it reduced the insurance premiums on their car insurance, but it was mighty embarrassing when daughter knew more than dad about laws! "You've got an inch to go," commented Mr. Worley, as Nancy Childs aimed at Mrs. Boyd Walke r's Chevy. Students Tumbled Into Physical Fitness Physical education proved to be a time of learning as well as doing. Some new sports were introduced to girls, but the older sports were not forgotten . Basketball, volleyball, and tumbling were the most familiar sports. However, field hockey and clobber ball added variety to the course. Monotony of regular sessions in the gym was broken in the spring when girls made their annual hikes to Kirn Field, another 1,728 feet above sea level. There is more than one way to get exercise! Besides journeying to Kirn Field, boys made two trips a week to the Armory where their favorite game was crab soccer. In this game, boys assumed a bridge-like position .. The object of the game was to kick the ball down the court and make a goal. If the game followed its usual pattern, several persons were kicked in the head with wrestling matches adding to the climax. To fully enjoy physical education one must be rough, ready, and ~ager to fight. Nervous energy and tensions were dissolved in gym classes- without tranquilizers. They were taken by the physical education teachers! Excitement was never lacking in boys physical education classes.

They represented the top five per cent of their class. Byron Grote, president of A.L's chapter of the National Honor Society, welcomed the student body to the assembly. He was followed by other members who reviewed the qualifications for membership. Befqre the announcement of new members, a trumpet trio and a vocal double mixed quartet provided entertainment. Finally, after the excitement reached an unbearable pitch, Mr. Roy Lawson, vice-principal, announced the new senior and junior members comprising the top fifteen and five per cents of their classes, respectively. Squeals of joy and gasps of astonishment were the order of the day as they filed through the archway and accepted the traditional roses. A break in the sol_emn proceedings came when Mr. Lawson, while administering the oath, forgot the words and completely confused all the members.

This thought probably ran through the minds of 82 senior girls as they took the Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow test. Not only did each girl have to apply her culinary knowledge during the test, but her knowledge of family finances, good grooming, and child development were tested. To add "a touch of spice" to the 45-minute test, an essay on a given topic was required within that time limit. Anne Ryerson's practical homemaking talents proved to pay off as she became A.L's 1966 Homemaker of Tomorrow. Anne seemed to have a knack where competition was involved. A National Merit Finalist, she was also a National Honor Society Scholarship Finalist and a candidate for the .AFS School Year Abroad Program. ANNE RYERSON JEANINE GALL In today's fast-moving world, modesty and unselfishness are virtues which men seem to praise, but then dismiss. Dr. Erickson-Hill, a prominent Council Bluffs doctor of some 32 years ago, was truly a woman of unselfishness. Holding this quality in esteem, she set up an award to honor a senior girl who each year had given unselfishly of her time and talents throughout her high school years. This highly desirable honor was bestowed upon Jeanine Gall. Serving as President, Jeanine saved the Red Cross from a fast death. By participating in the Junior Class Play and All-School Play, she became a Thespian. She did community service as a member of the Y-Teens, A.L's sfirvice club. Yet, with all her activities, she maintained a 4.0 grade average. Jeanine devoted many, many hours during and after school working in the office. This great honor could not have been bestowed upon a more qualified girl . By a vote of the student body, five senior girls were chosen as candidates for the annual Daughters of the American Revolution Award. The faculty then chose the girl it felt best deserved the honor and that was Susan Eakin. Leadership does not depend on innate talent only, but on intensity of conviction and willingness to serve. Susan served her high school classes as junior and senior class secretary and student council representative. Time and energy devoted to cheerleading and the girls' golf team helped "Squeak" become Winter Sports Princess her junior year.

Young Democrats took notice of Denny, when as president of Dem-Teens, he organized a trip to Des Moines. As a charter member of the Boys' Booster Club, Denny had a chance to promote school spirit which was one of his "pet" projects during his high school days. . It is always an honor to qualify as a member of Key Club, but to be elected its vice-president was an added glory for Denny. Since "singing is living" to him, he participated in operettas, .All-State, and the state music contests. Friendliness and immeasurable enthusiasm made him a worthy choice for Mr. ALHS. Mr. and Miss ALHS · Judy Clodfelder Truly a beauty, Judy Clodfelder was an outstanding choice for Miss ALHS. School spirit was Judy's guiding philosophy throughout her years at A.L. where, as a varsity cheerleader, she sparked both teams and fans alike with her enthusiasm. Her sincerity and pep were felt in other activities also, especially in FT A and Pep Club, where she was an active member. Dancing was one of Judy's special talents and she was most unselfish with her time as director of choreography for "South Pacific." Close friends .and casual acquaintances of Judy will cherish the memory of her cheery smile and infectious optimism, the characteristics which made her their choice for Miss ALHS. Finalists Weathered Conflicts I SEATED: Joan Hamilton, Linda Hunt, Susan Eakin, Mary Ferguson STANDING: Patty Blanchard, Ben Perkins, Les Carroll, Byron Grote, Mike Rolf, Mike Moore "And the winner is " Byron Wilkinson he ld the audience in suspe nse at the pageant. Along with the election of class officers and the Hom.ecoming Court came the preferential balloting for Mr. & Miss ALHS in October. Twelve seniors, who were elected as finalists, didn't know whether to be sad or glad since a requirement of the finalists was to present a "talent" at the Mr. & Miss ALHS Pageant sponsored by the staff of the CRIMSON AND BLUE. T~e election ignited a month of nerve-racking and furious activity all intermingled with Homecoming excitement. Finalists were elected on a basis of good character, high academic record, genuine school spirit, enthusiasm, and a pleasing personality. Students with such qualities weathered numerous conflicts and produced an evening's program of top-flight entretainment. 47 "Oh, you shouldn't have," cried Judy Clodfelder as the finalists applauded the new Mr. and Miss ALHS. The Pagea·nt Was 'Special' Mike Moore and Jimmy Rolf ran away from " all them suds" at "Tht Laundramat." An exciting hint of "something special" filled the air on the night of November 13. A near capacity crowd packed the auditorium to witness the second annual Mr. and Miss ALHS Pageant. Since the CRIMSON AND BLUE Staff had worked long and hard on this program, it was eager to present the fruits of its labors to the waiting audience. From the moment Byron Wilkinson, a skillful and witty Emcee, started the program, a feeling of anticipation filled the auditorium. For the next two hours, the finalists and talented members from all three classes contributed in a most creative manner to make the pageant a beautiful and entertaining varie ty show. As the excitement mounted to an unbearable pitch, the finalists processed down the aisles. Each girl was gowned in a beautiful floor-length formal and carried a single red rose. Each boy wore a dark suit distinguished by a white boutonniere. After tantalizing the audience to the point of frustration, Byron Wilkinson finally announced the winners. Marilee Wilder, Miss ALHS of 1965, presented them with flowers and gifts. Festivities lasted late into the night with a dance held in the gym followed by open houses at the homes of the honorees. This was truly a "special" evening. Winter Whirl Made Holidays Brighter I j ,/ Lexy Spence r blushed as she was named Sophomore Princess, while escort Kelly Comer smiled. Christmas vacation activities were in abundance, but one date was marked on everyone's calendar. The annual Winter Whirl, a mid-winter dance, was held on the evening of December 28. Each year this gala event is co-sponsored by the Parent-Teacher Association and the Student Council. For the second year in succession, the ever-popular Fabulous Rumbles wailed for the Winter Whirl much to the delight of th~ .~ tudent body. To add to the high spirits of the festivities, the crowning of the Winter Sports Queen and her court took place. Dennis McAdams, assuming the fi rst of his duties as Mr. ALHS, was the Master of Ceremonies for the coronation activities. Senior Teresa Walker was the honored girl to be chosen queen. Her attendants were Junior Princess Peggy Currie and Sophomore Princess Alexis Spencer. After the crowning, the Fabulous Rumbles played more top hit tunes of the day. Students agreed that Santa Claus himself could not have dreamed up a more enjoyable Yuletide deliaht than the Winter Whirl. " This way' Steve!" "No, this way, Teresa!" As Queen Teresa argued with h er escort, Steve Evans, other qveen candidates, Linda Hunt and Susan Eak in, looked on with their escorts, Ron Daniels and Bill Cutler. 49 50 ROW l: JoAnn Meade, Cindi Mcintosh, Monica Workman, Linda Jensen, Jan Schneider, DuAnna King.

Mr. David Linkey made up Judy Clodfelder as Liat in South Pacific.

'South "Younger than springtime are you . . . " sang Keith Allerton to Judy Clodfelder . . . "Who said blondes have more fu n?" thought Bruce Bowen as he g rabbed for his skirt and coconuts while Kay Johnson sang "Honey Bun." This year's operetta, "South Pacific," soared to fame with a burst of excitement and enthusiasm. The theme of the story was based on The Tales of South Pacific by James Mitchner. Ensign Nellie Forbush (Kay Johnson) tried every conceivable method to evade the fact that she was falling in love with Emile de Becque (Jim Madsen), a French plantation owner. Luther Billis (Bruce Bowen), secretly in love with Nellie, kept the audience in a constant uproar as he darted in and out of trouble through the entire show. Lovely Liat (Judy Clodfelder), was crushed when she learned that her Lt. Cable (Keith Allerton) was killed while spying behind enemy lines. An exotic and mysterious atmosphere was added by Bloody Mary (Margy Moe) and her vitality. While the entire show was filled with humorous events, the most exciting incident was the climax when Emile returned to marry Nellie. She was a bit skeptical at first because of his children by a former marriage, but they won her h~art with their lovable ways. Due to popular demand the show was presented a fourth night. Bruce Bowen was petrified as Roger Christensen .and Dennis Hoch lectured nim about falling out of a Catalina airplane. Pacific' Made a Big Splash "Aren't they adorable!" exclaimed Kay Johnson as she lost her heart to Karla Krabbe and Drew Peterson who played the children of Jim Madsen. Garth Kemerling and Bruce Bowen discussed the boar's tooth bracelet which Margy Moe was trying to sell them. 57 58 Sophs Presented "Swinging High'' Kathy Spencer disapproved when Randy Means suggested his plan for academic development to Fran Adams, Dave McKee, Gary Bean, and Bunnie Howell.

Ra ndy Means made love to Kathy Spence r on Kissing Rock Lane. A tough high school principal, Randy Means decided school was for academic development only. All fun was eliminated by the McDuff plan which caused revolution among the students and endless tears in Fran Adams. Bunnie Howell flirted with Mr. McDuff in an effort to soften his plan, while Kathy Spencer emp[oyed diplomacy. Then came the day when Dave McKee, the retired principal, substituted for Mr. McDuff. Through him, McDuff saw the error of his ways and discovered the love light in Kathy Spencer ' ' b s eyes esides. Di ane Ward and Bob Lidgett really " swung high ." Miriam Smith admired Pat Dworak's dress, designed by Teri Woodward, as Dave Graybill anticipated the lovely evening ahead. Juniors Chose Mystery Thriller Murder, mystery, and melodrama were the ingredients of the Junior Class Play, "Nine Coache"s Waiting." It was the story of a governess and her attempts to protect her charge, a young heiress, from an unknown would-be kil)er. Because of the varied locations in which the play took place, three outstanding stage settings were designed for the production. All the cast members were grateful for the stage experience they gained and for the cast party held at the home of Mr. David Linkey. As Vicki Elswick serve d Paul Otto his afternoon tea, Cindy Mcintosh· held Mrs David Linkey's dog, Le isi, the production's star performer. 59 60 TRUMPET Dan Bender Jerry Kreger John Ranney Dennis Smothers Bill Bettin Doug Brace Dennis Brewer Gary Flury Dave Lorenzen Jan Brace Julie Brace Cheryl Eshelman Jan Hellbusch Trudy Wide!

Every night for a week the brigade officers and their ladies practiced and slaved to make the ceremonies perfect. Crepe paper, pillars, and paint transformed the gym into a beautiful ballroom setting under the coml:>ined efforts of the cadet officers. Meeting in the drill hall before the ball, the officers and their ladies witnessed the final officer promotions of the year. Charles Caughlan was announced as the new Cadet Colonel while Linda Hunt was surrounded by well-wishers when she was named Honorary Colonel of the Cadet Corps. Meanwhile in the gym, the spectators were entertained by the performances of the drill team, band, and chorus. The program was announced by Emcee Dennis Cleaveland who in turn presented the officers and their ladies. Gliding across the gym floor, they executed the grand march and waltz with grace and precision. After the ball, a dinner was held at the Club 64 to honor the new officers. LT. COL.

Margy Moe brought down the house as she clowned her way through "Second-Hand Rose." Abraham Lincoln road shows have always had the tradition of being just a little too long in length and a little too short of real talent. The road show in '66, however, was short in length and long in talent-a real dream come true. "Dream Fantasy," the theme of the show, was the tenth A.L r6ad show to be directed by Mrs. Lucile Hoffman. ~elieving she had the people with whom to work, she set about the task of creating a polished, professional production. And create she did! A.L's stage was transformed into an eye-catching setting of pink and blue satin, highlighted by a crystal chandelier which hung from a draped canopy of billowing, white chiffon. Masters of Ceremonies, Keith Allerton and Bruce Bowen, talked, sang, and danced the show to order. This duo-emcee team was aided by Judy Clodfelder in one act as they relived "Childhood Dre ams." A spoof on the famout Locker 27 incident, called "Locker 27 A-Go-Go," was a favorite of the student body. Stealing the show, the lovely Lynxettes kicked their way through a lively tap number, only to return in the finale performing a graceful ballet. A.L's vocal and instrumental music department deserved much of the credit for the road show's success. a Dream Come True "Let's beat it. The teachers found out!" Panic reigned as the teachers raided "Locker 27 A-Go-Go." Monica Workman and Denny Cl.eaveland led the choir singing "Dreams" and "Dream Fantasy." Luiz Queiroz, AFS student from Brazil, had a chance to display his talent as he played the accordion in "Locker 27 A-Go-Go." "Whe reve r we are it's togethe r. Together, whe rever we go!" Judy Clodfelder, Ke ith Allerton, and Bruce Bowen sang of the ir reminiscent "Childhood Dreams." 75 X n!l !JJ(1£e 2lroore and 2ueen Xa!h'y Jfaff 76 Royalty Chosen by Junior Votes Xii.£ 7/fferlon and /3.inda Jfunl !JJ(i.ke :J< of/ and Ousan 0 din 2Jiff Culler and Judj G/odfaider Jerry 0 h'c.kefs and :?ally 2Jianchard 77 Kin?

Graduates Grant Loyd and Paula Rasmussen crowned the new royalty in a true southern at· o~p re . Glory of the South Mike Viola, Sandy Williams, Susan Stetchef, and Mike Gault enjoyed Southern Comfort. Emcee Dennis Cleaveland announced the Prom royalty, and everyone gave a warm smile of approval as King Mike Moore and Queen Kathy Hall walked down the carpeted aisle. After-prom festivities included dinners, late movies, various parties, and early morning b reakfasts. The Prom proved to be full of fun a nd promised memories for the years to come. Kathy Hall seemed pensive as Judy Clodfelde r defended herself by saying, " I don't care! My fee t hurt!" Junior officers Jim Lykke and Cindi Mcintosh presented gifts to the honorees. 79 80 Students Took Pride • In Abraham Lincoln Day ''Would you believe?" Dan Kaercher remarked to his fellov.i debaters, Steve Sahr, Manfred Hegner, and Brian Walker. Dan Kaercher was chosen for his close resemblance to Abraham Lincoln. The second Abraham Lincoln Day was a big success. Many homerooms were patriotically decorated, but the auditorium won the contest with its representation of Ford Theatre. Dan Kaercher from homeroom 304 was chosen as the best portrayal of Abraham Lincoln among the 35 candidates in the contest. Dennis McAdams and Judy Clodfelder opened the assembly with readings in remembrance of Lincoln. Excerpts from the Emancipation Proclamation were read by Les Carroll. Mr. Sam Brown brought a patriotic me~c;age to the student body, but the highlight of the program was the dedication of the yearbook to Mr. Robert Brown. Miss Erva Huckl eeberry dedicated the Crimson and Slue to Mr. Robe rt Brown on behalf of the Yearbook Staff. Assemblies Added Flavor to Routine "This is a picture of Mary Todd Lincoln," commented Pauline Bishop. A. L. hoodlums were ready to "bounce greasy T. J." The student body was deeply touched by Commander Keen's inspiring speech. Assemblies were low in quantity, but high in quality. Especially was this true about "Beat Greasy T.J." The script for this assembly was written by Keith Allerton in Honors English class, supervised by Mr. Seth Hills. Members of this class portrayed the skit in "fast and loud" reality to the amusement of the students. Pauline Bishop presented "Women of the White House" and showed her own drawings of their inaugural gowns. A retired navy officer, Commander Thomas J. Keen, stunned the student body with his "I'm Glad I'm an American" speech. One of the favorite assemblies was a musical program presented by Mr. and Mrs. Paul Westbrook, who sang selections from "The Sound of Music," plus other novelty numbers.

However, Mr. Arthur Lee, "Echoes'" advisor for some thirty years, had already worked on this problem during the summer. He persuaded the school board to have the "Echoes" printed at the Thomas Jefferson Print Shop. With the type being set at Hunter Typesetting, the "Echoes" acquired a "professional look" through its layouts, copy and print. Would you believe it cost $100 to publish the paper every two weeks? Well, it did! The ad staff was the "backbone" of the "Echoes." Their innumerable hours of effort and foot-work kept the paper running financially. It then took extra work on everyone's part to make it read as good as it looked. Highlighting their journalistic year, nine staff members attended the National Scholastic· Press Association Convention in Chicago over Thanksgiving weekend . Sparked with enthusiasm and brimming over with new ideas, the journalists returned, ready to do an ever better job. Yes, the "Echoes" certainly echoed, "Vigorously, Justly, and Without Prejudice."

During Christmas vacation, the Council co-sponsored the Winter Whirl with the PT A. A new project sponsored by the Council was Casual (Grub) Day. On this day, the student body was allowed to wear casual ( ?) outfits to school. The day was pronounced a "fun" success by those who participated.

Medical Arts 'Cured' Boredom Plagued by the split-shift schedule, the Medical Arts Club had a small, but spirited, membership. All projects of the club were aimed at acquainting the members with the field of medicine. Medical Arts girls collected food and clothing for the Parkview Children's Home during Christmas vacation. Visits to Glenwood State Hospital School and Children's Hospital highlighted their agenda. Social events were not forgotten, however. A lively initiation took place at a picnic in the fall. Hplidays were made more festive with a Thanksgiving dinner and a Christmas party. The spring heralded a new event-the Medical Arts Senior Dinner, a dress-up affair held at the 64 Club with the seniors and their parents as honored guests. Mary Judkins, a senior, was chosen "Miss Medical Arts" by a vote of the members_ Fun and knowledge, gained through membership in the Medical Arts, "cured" the members of belonging to "just another club."

Give!" This was the point stressed by the Red Cross in 1965-1966. Members of this. organization were elected as representatives of their respe~tive homerooms. Goals of the Red Cross were to keep the student body informed of service opportunities in the community and to lend help and support to needy people of other nations. After attending a Red Cross meeting, each repr.esentative would report to his homeroom concerning current business. Small friendship boxes for the school chlidren overseas were filled by each homeroom. Monetary donations were also collected. Red Cross members were proud of their organization's float which won second place in the Homecoming parade. By giving unselfishly through the Red Cross, students felt that they had done their part, however small, in strengthening world friendship .

For National Book Week a display of books was arranged to promote student interest in reading. Another display was set up at the P.T.A. Open House on November 16. The student librarians throughout the city attended getacquainted teas at Thomas Jefferson and Eastside . Thus, they had a chance to see the new libraries in the city. A return tea was held in A.L's library in honor of the Eastside, Woodrow Wilson, Thomas Jefferson, and Lewis Central Library Clubs.

From a hayrack ride in the fall to a steak fry in the spring, the Spanish Club filled the year with many activities. To further the knowledge of the members about Spanishspeaking people and their language, customs, and traditions was the purpose of the organization. Spanish Club wasn't all work, for members had fun too. Traditional Spanish customs of Christmas ·were taught to members when they sang carols in Spanish and held a "Fiesta Navidad" (a Christmas party) with a real Spanish pinata, a paper mache figure filled with treats. Club members never went hungry as the bulk of the meetings involved eating out at various Spanish restaurants. Whether the spicy Spanish food agreed with them or not, members enjoyed a "full" year.

"Resolved: That the Federal Government should adopt a program of compulsory arbitration in labormanagement disputes in the basic industries," this year's topic, provided the incentive for many long hours of labor research. So many new-comers presented an obstacle to overcome namely finding compatible twosomes. Soon new team~ were formed, and the season got under way with a five-state invitational at Worthington, Minnesota . Preparation paid off when the novice team of Rick Br~n~t and Steve Perlis and the varsity team of Kathy Griffin and Becky Clabaugh won honors for being undefeated. Kathy and Becky received trophies for achieving the highest number of speaker points in the entire contest. The beginning of the second semester brought two new faces into the group. Teresa Gerard and David Graybill jumped headlong into the season and made an excellent showing at the Beginners' Tournament held in March. Climaxing the year _was the tournament at Iowa City. Five varsity debaters and Coach left for this meet, prepared to meet the toughest competition in the st9te of Iowa . Charlie Caughlan and Mike Dahlke earned "excellent" ratings in extemporaneous speaking, and Becky Clabaugh was awarded a Forensic key for "superior" speaking points in debating.

At this contest Kathy Spencer, Susan Galle, and Miriam Smith received I-ratings. Also entered in the District and State Contests was the one-act play, "Monsieur La Blanc." It also brought honor to A.L. by earning a I-rating at District. Dennis Cleaveland, who portrayed the title role, was awarded . the rank of best actor at the State Contest. The other members of the cast were Linda Hunt as Suzette, Kathy Schlott as the Narrator, and Jeff Glesmann as lgnac;e.

Quill Club Used a New Critique System With the induction of new members, the Quill Club began its third year as a- creative writing ~rganization . This year these "future journalists" experienced a new system of criticism. Upon invitation from the club's sponsor, Mrs. Maxine McCune, drama, journalism and English teachers from the Council Bluffs school system attended the meet-. ings as guest critics, keeping critique notes for the various presentations. This plan proved effective in making members aware of presentation techniques and construction patterns. "All work and no play" was not the motto of this club. The members held a "rush" party for the introduction of new members, took time from their busy schedules to share the Christmas spirit with others by caroling at the local rest homes, and, as a money-making project, manned a candy counter for hungry Road Show audiences.

Low attendance at meetings resulted in few club activities, but there was a handful of loyal members who tried to keep the club alive with program and potlucks. In an effort to incite interest, Miss Mary Jo Dugan, club sponsor, planned special meetings with guest speakers. One program treated members to an informal discussion of the Chanticleer theater presented by Mr. Norman Filbert who invited the club to attend the final dress rehearsal of the production, "The Mad Woman of Chaillot." A potluck meeting featured Mr. Dick Walters who described the theaters and dramas he viewed on his trip to Europe. 1966 was a time of near-dormancy for this club, but hopefully the future will be a time for revival and rebirth!

Morn! That means "hi" in Norwegian. In the summer of 1965, I liv_ed on a farm near Snasa, Norway with the Kare Eggen '.amily ~s an American Field Service exchange student. Being ~ city girl, I found life in the country quite different, but 1ust as much fun. My 13-year-old brother and my 17- !'ear-old sister made sure that I was kept busy fishing, working .on the farm, and going on hikes in the mountains. My family took me to a big celebration honoring St. Olav, their national warrior saint, at which I saw Krou Prins Harold of Norway. The direct contact with the Norwegian people gave me a better understanding of them and their ways. I feel that thr~ugh AFS we can gain the international understanding for which we are continually striving. Hi! This will be the last time you'll hear "hi" from me. I'll already be in Brazil when you read this! back to my old, normal life. I sure can say that this has been an e xciting year for me. I had many new experiences. Meeting my American family, the Lashes, was something thrilling. Getting used to the food and your dating system brought even some embarrassing situations. My first white Christmas and my first snow -you can't imagine being snowbound on a fa.rm! Besides the knowledge I gained this year and the remembrances I have of it, it left me much. A great sympathy for your country and its people I carry with me. My best feeli~s though, are those of sincere gratitude for all of you, for you made this year so wonderful for me. One thing I want you to always remember is that you have a friend in Brazil. 105 106 ROW 1: Sharon Ferguson, Karen Gallagher, Janice Smith Cindy Mortensen Tony Renteria, Marianne Kephart, Lora Endrulat, Karen Ja,cks.

Lynx Artists' Bottega provided the answer for many students who desired to develop their artistic ability. The Bottega sponsored a Christmas Card Contest again this year. During the Christmas season, 85 entries were displayed through the halls. Club members worked on a window' display for TB seals which was placed on the corner directory and programs for musical productions were designed by these eager artists also. Botteg·a members, however, did not stick strictly to business all the time. Members attended a cook-out at Fairmont Park, and enjoyed the movie "The Agony and the Ecstasy," after which they visited Drew's Antique Shop. Many interesting facts were learned when the Lynx Artists' Bottega toured the Dodge House and Joslyn Museum. Under the supe·rvision and sponsorship of Mrs. Gerald Ross, the Lynx Artists developed their artistic abilities. OFFICERS Marie Gawara ....... PRESIDENT . . . . . . . .

Experience Was the Real Teacher • In DECA The Distributive Education Club, better known as DECA, added variety to the life of its members. DECA students not only enjoyed the fun and learning of school, but also experienced many hours as employees of several local businesses. Their jobs provided them with experience in buying, selling, and handling business affairs. Three repres entatives, Don Lyons, Ed Kerns, and Dennis Smothers, were sent to the annual Delegate Assembly in Des Moines to vote for Iowa DECA state officers. John Smyth and Don Lyons participated in the Tenth Annual Iowa DECA Leadership Conference in Des Moines in March. Don entered a contest concerning job interviews and John entered the sales demonstration judging contest. DECA students learned that experie[1ce is the best teacher of all, but still they appreciated the knowledge and inspiration which they received from Mr. Gerald Ross, DECA instructor.

During the basketball season the Girls' Pep Club decided to revive school spirit. By pointing out to the student body the error of its ways, it received a spirit of cooperation.

As something new and different, the Booster Club found various ways of encouraging school spirit. They put on a skit at a pep rally, sold key chains, and painted signs with colorful sayings such as, "Beat T.J.", "On to State," and "Yea Mr. Freeman." Together with the Girls' Pep Club the Booster Club became part of the rousing cheers. And of course were an impressive sight in the front row of bleachers with megaphones in hand.

To add zip to the activities, a hayrack ride and Halloween party were held. Homecoming activities provided a major project- the construction of a giant-size float in the shape of an elephant which they entered in the parade and also in the Veterans' Day parade. The TARS helped the county organization collect for its annual Buck Night. In the fall, several of the members went to a Mock Platform Convention in Atlantic, and in the spr.ing a delightful evening was spent at the Founders' Day dinner in Lincoln, at which time Ronald Reagan, actor-politician, was the key speaker. The two main money-making activities of the year consisted of a ..candy sale and a rummage sa le. It may have been an off-election year but the TARS were preparing for an explosion in 1968.

The first semester was planned with a meeting scheduled every two weeks. Highlights of the active agenda were a panel discussion on "Operation Head Start," a potluck dinner with a program on Norway, and a Christmas dinner. A.L's chapter of FT A was fortunate to have Claudia Collignon elected as District Historian at the District Convention in the fall. Second semester activities were somewhat limited due to those "unforeseeable" conflicts. Three major events, however, dominated the program. Each teacher was· surprised one morning to find a shiny, red apple in his or her office box. Attached to the apple was an invitation to the FTA Teachers' Tea, which was a woncte-rful affair. The bi-annual FTA Visitation Day allowed FTA members to visit various classrooms in the city. Late spring brought the FT A Senior Banquet at which every senior member was an honored guest. FTA members were proud of their busy organization which was also the school's largest. OFFICERS PRESIDENT . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Ill Everybody Enioyed Homecoming • In Disneyland Floats, fire, frenzy, and flutry! These were the main ingredients for Homecoming 1965. Despite all this confusion, Mrs. Mary Anderson, Homecoming Co-ordinator, remained calm and produced one of the most memorable Homecomings ever presented at A.L. Thirteen girls sold twenty or more season tickets to become eligible for the Homecoming Court. From this group, the five highest "salesmen" were name d finalists, and the queen and her attendants were then chosen by the football team. Clubs and classes spent many fun-filled hours in garages and warehouses, stuffing kleenex and paper napkins into chic;ken wire. Eventually twenty-five floats, the required number for an authorized parade across Broadway, evolved from the collected paraphernalia. The band's depiction of Cinderella won for them first place as a creation of beauty. Red Cross placed second with its clever representation of Mary Poppins, and the sophomore class came in third with its unique display of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The conflict between Homecoming and mid-term exams caused many weary and droopy-eyed students to stumble to school following early morning (2 a.m.) study sessions. A blazing bonfire, arranged by Mr. Vonnie Tangeman and his student assistants, immediately followed the parade. A mountain of boxes, boards, paper, trees, posts, and a telephone pole topped by an effigy of a Central High Scho.ol Eagle were quickly consumed by the hungry flames as the student body and the Council Bluffs Fire Department watched the giant spectacle. On Friday night, the feeling in the air was one of keen anticipation as the crowd cheered the team to a would-be victory and breathlessly awaited the coronation of the 1965 Homecoming ~ueen. Mary Fe rguson was crowned during the halftime festivities whil e the b and played selections from "Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color" and students dressed as Disney" characters capered about the field . Homecoming 1965 will always be a time to remembe r. 115 126 "Sweep 'em down!" de clared the Red Cross float w hich won second place.

The teams did an excellent job, too, as they received much hono r and trophies. School spirit practically tripled as the boys' basketball team almost reached the state tournament. All coaches were an inspiration wherever they went as they were filled with school spirit-especially for their sport. The goals of the coache s were two-fold- to encourage young men to participate in the athletic program of the school and to cultivate an enjoyment of spo_rts as adults.

ROW 3: Mike Rolf, Terry This is the second chapter in the success story of a r .1 young man who came to Abraham Lincoln in the fall of 1964. His assignment was to produce a successful football squad at a school which had been experiencing an exceptionally long grid drought. He was presented with all the tools which were deemed vital in the molding of a new, winning, combination: a young coaching staff, and a group of already-willing young "footballers." However, he was not presented immediately with the third and most important asset to success-the whole-hearted backing of the students. All too many were willing to sit back and criticize the new mentor for what they thought was lack of progress. If you were in that crowd of A.L. rooters which rose after the final home game against Central to give your team a last chee r, you felt, for perhaps the first time Spunky Varsity Team Stickels, Larry Mitchell, Steve Jones, Bill Will, Gary Morrison, Neal Nation. something inside which is often called school spirit-a pride in the fact that you were a part of Abraham Lincoln High School .. . satisfaction that you could stand up and cheer after dropping a hard-fought decision to a tough and battling opponent. Victories . . . sure they'll come . . . they're bound to come with eleven men in Crimson and Blue working as hard as they did all last year, and the budding crop of sophomores which Coach Carr .has been shaping. But remember, other things must come first. As soon as the students of ALHS decide to place their whole-hearted support behind both coach and team and not just sit back and gripe-then the Lynx will rise to the top. So there's your challenge, Lynx players and students. You've started the ball rolling . LET'S KEEP IT ROLLING! Made 2-7 Record Coach Maher looked over prospects for next year's team.

Led by the sparkling performances of Steve Phelan and Byron Grote, these boys competed well in all of the area's larger meets. The Lynx thin-clads finished first at both the Red Oak Invitational Mile Team Run and the Peru CC Invitational; fifth at both the State AAAA Mile Run and the Metropolitan CC Invitational, and sixth at the State AAAA CC Run.

Coaches, of course, cannot be excluded as important factors in the success of the season because without their support and long hours of assistance, "win" would have been a lost word.

Wrestling has come into its own and is drawing more and more spectators every year but very few of them know the prpcedure for scoring. ·A squad of thirty boys worked out last year, with enthusiasm reaching high peaks just before each meet. Elimination matches were held a week before each meet to determine who would represent the team at each weight. In a meet, each boy wrestled three two-minute periods without aid from teammates or coaches-truly making the competition an individual sport. Each victory added points to the team's score. A wrestler strives to win by a pin which is holding the opponent's shoulder blades to the mat a few seconds making five points. Al's Gary Morrison tangled with a TJ w restl e r and won which w as one of the turning points of the match .

A decision means three points for the team. If there is a tie, each team receives two points. A wrestler earns points in his match in the following ways: take down thus gaining control from a neutral ot standing position: two points. Escape means from down to neutral position : one point. Reversal means from down to a position of advantage: two points. A predicament · is a near pin: two points. Time advantage is the time accumulated while in control: one point.

However, she not only boosted school spirit in fall sports by being a member of the Pep Club, but she also cheered the winter sportsmen on to victory. Teresa's performing talent was demonstrated by past appearances in the Road Show, the Junior Operetta, and the Girls' Glee Club. Her persuasiveness was exhibited by her "positive approach" as a member of the Echoes Staff. Next year Teresa plans on attending Mercy School of Nursing. As an active member of the Pep Club, Peggy Currie boosted the basketball team on to district championship. Besides these boys, the wrestlers, swimmers, gymnasts, and members of the rifle team elected Peggy to her throne as Junior Princess. In Peggy's sophomore year she was the secretary of the Quill Club during the first semester. She was also "una muchacha buena" as a member of the Spanish Club. Alexis Spencer, known as 'Lexy to A.L. students was honored as the sophomore Winter Sports Princess. Her grace and poise, which she acquired from her twelve years of dancing and acrobatics, were exhibited when she performed as a sophomore cheerleader.

Basketball .Grew Hot Abraham Lincoln's basketball team had a new head coach as Thurman Johnson retired after sixteen successive seasons to assume full time duties as typing instructor- and Athletic Director. He was replaced by one of his former players and last season·s assistant, Chuck Francis. The Lynx, after a slow start, finished strong winning seven of their last ten games for a 9-12 record including the District Championship and a narrow miss at returning to the Iowa State Tournament. Tall but inexperienced, the Lynx had only a 2-9 record at midyear but showed improvement in every game as the team developed under the new coach. The season had many highlights as a new, school one-game scoring record was established in the 101 -61 triumph over T.J. The previous high had been 97, scored against Anita in 1956. A.L. Dennis Noehren and Jim Leslie , basketball captains, admired the rewards of the season. DENNY NOEHREN TERRY STICKELS as Season Ended and Omaha Burke combined to set a two-team Metro-League scoring record of 182 points in the opening game of the season as the Lynx lost l 01-81. The Lynx al?o figured in the single game scoring record for one team as a potent Omaha Benson team defeated them l 05-55. Loss of seniors, Denny Noehren, Jim Leslie, Dick Price, Steve Phelan, Denny Zimmerman, Manfred Hegner and I Dave Putnam left quite a void. Noehren and Leslie were co-capta ins and the team's leading scorers and rebounde rs. They scored 403 and 193 points respectively. There will be only one returning sta rter, Dave Wickland. However, many outstanding prospects will return from the 1965-1966 seasons' Junior Varsity and Sophomore squads. If these boys develop as expected, A. L. should have a fine team again next year.

Measuring success by improvement over the past two years made the 1965-1966 season of gymnastics the best so far. Winning two meets in the Metro-League and coming within four points of beating both South Omaha and Burke proved that the boys meant business. Promotion of the sport in elementary and junior high grades will be necessary to compete successfully in the Metro-League in the future. In order to stimulate interest in gymnastics, demonstrations were given in the junior highs and one grade school. Also performances were presented before the PT A, at half time to basketball fans, and before the A.l. faculty. Thus, more adults learned to appreciate the feats of the gymnasts. Four boys, Duane Durham, Ed Kerns, Mike Dahlke and Steve Pender were lost through graduation. Top scorers this year were Wayne Meyer, Duane Durham, Ed Kerns, Mike Dahlke and Phillip Nichols. Wayne and Phil will be two of the top gymnasts in the 1966-1967 season. It w as an up-side-down world for Phil Nichols. Stiff Competition GYMNASTICS SCOREBOARD A.L.

The team used the pool at the Iowa School for the ~eaf again this year for 2Y2 hours a week as compared to 2Y2 hours a day used by competitor~ in their school pools. Competition was tough, but spirit was good even to the extent that some tankers gave up their after-school jobs to practice. It will be necessary for juniors and . sophomores to fill the suits of 1966 seniors Kent Adams (Backstroke), Ron Daniels (Freestyle) , Steve Evans (Freestyle), Craig Somers (Individual Medley), Lloyd Marsh (Butterfly), and Bruce Jennings (Freestyle). Even with this loss, upcoming juniors and sophomores look strong.

These girls were not only witty and vivacious but also smart and talented. As cheerleaders, Patty Blanchard, Joan Bartling and Diane Ward caused A.L's spirit to soar. Patty Blanchard was honored in 1965 as Junior Princess at the Spring Sports Banquet. Active in the Pep Club, Patty also found time for other clubs and activities. Patty's years at A.L. will be remembered by all who knew her as a sincere friend . Joan Bartling spent her last year at A.L. going-going -going! Often seen on her hands and knees making posters, her spirit of service was much in evidence. Joan was a lucky but well-deserving junior who walked through the archway on National Honor Society Day. Diane Ward's sophomore year showed promise of busy, busy years ahead at A.L. Her voice was not only heard in the cheers at games but also in the sophomore operetta where she had one of the leading parts. May 24, 1966 was a glorious day for a picnic. Abraham Lincoln spring athletes, faculty members, school board officials and parents-some 150 of them-feasted on fried chicken, potato salad and baked beans at the Spring Sports Picnic. The meal was served cafeteria style by the faculty men who saw to it that all diets were shattered. Small groups gathered at the picnic tables and ate to their heart's content in the beauty of Kiwanis Point. . After the picnic, Miss Janet Lyle and Mrs. Linda Wright awarded letters and certificates to girls who were tennis and golf stars respectively. Coaches Walt Kaltenborn and Mike Freeman then. honored their boys in golf and tennis. Bud Kruse, assistant track coach, summarized the track year briefly and designated his lettermen.

Sophomore Robert Anderson sailed over the high-jump bar at 5' 2". Development among the sophomores was the principal characteristic of the track season. Since half the squad was sophomore, this was a good factor for coming seasons. Byron Grote and John Schweer were captains and did a remarkable job of "pulling" the squad. Their interest and efforts were especially felt at the meets. The first two meets of the season offered slim points but the performances seemed to bud at the Tri-State Relays at Tarkio. Grote and Rolf led the way with winning performances while the sophomores began to collect points in their events. The following week another marked improvement was noticed at the Council Bluffs Relays where A.L. ranked 5th place.

Top doubles teams consisted of Ma rk Bennett and Ron Daniels, Bill 01- sen and Denn is Bachman, and Ron Michalski and ·Roger Shea . These playe rs competed in the Metro-Tourney with Dave Wicklund placing second in the singles division.

Abraham Lincoln was represented by these teams in the district contest. Joan Ba rtling and Carole Sieck each won the singles title while the doubles team of Glenda Barber and Tana Taylor claimed the doubles title.

Freshmen no longer-sophomores, at last! But the transition from upper classmen again was a shock. Some knew what to expect in the building-bumps in the floor and holes in the ceiling, or vice-versa. Others weren't so fortunate. The academic push was on again this year. Some will never forget world history or the smell of dissection in biology. One will always remember Silas Marner and the detailed but exciting study of Tale of Two Cities. However, the highlight of the month came on "Fire Drill Day." It was then that the quivering steps of the students met the trembling steps of the fire escapes. The sophomores had a good sports year also-fine football, peppy pep clubs, wiry wrestlers, bouncy basketball players and tricky track stars. Everyone recalls the Sophomore Movement and sayings like "Abe to State in '68!" Some will remember Swinging High and other musical adventures. But the most satisfying part of the year was the gradual acceptance of the lowly sophomore into t.he life of the BIG SCHOOL! Ruth Lane, Kelly Comer, Stan Workman, Alexis Spencer, and Karen Spetman.

So everybody said. And better yet, it was true! Junior rings were ordered in November, calling for a deposit equal to twenty hours of babysitting. Coke dates and popcorn and TV at home were the order of the day for boys. It was indeed a coincidence that the class rings and several tons of chocolate arrived on January 27, 1966. Old A.L. High barely withstood the chaos which resulted from the sale of chocolate bars and the exchange of rings at the same time. Although the chocolate sale didn't help anybody's complexion, cavities or calorie count, it did wonders financing the prom. Fulfilling the dreams of many moments, the prom was the most "fantabulous" of all times. With the drudgery of time-consuming American History and American Literature, it seemed as if the days of oral reports and term papers would never end. Although oral reports were abhorred by the students, they delighted the teachers. (No papers to correct!) As the deadline for term papers drew near, many juniors were certain they were on the "Eve of Destruction." Time moved on, and ultimately the last week of school was at hand. Seniors were gone and the halls were empty. Juniors were now able to envison the hallowed halls of Abraham Lincoln as they would be when the juniors returned as seniors to reign for a year. This thought provided them with the challenge of keeping watch on the sands of time to find the secret for achieving a joyous and satisfying lifetime.

However, attempts to cut classes and sneak by unsuspecting teacherg were stymied by the newest "fixtures" at A.L. - hall monitors! "Where's your pass?" was the cry frequently heard as seniors grinned and walked by the "terrors of the halls." Fun and games were the key _words of the first semester as seniors reveled in their new-found power as upperclassmen. Seriousness and contemplation were in the minds of the seniors during the second semester as graduation drew nearer and nearer. Name cards and announcements were ordered, and then seniors were measured for caps and gowns. Senior class meetings were held to determine the class colors, flower, and motto. As the end came in sight, seniors first attended Baccalaureate Services followed by the PT A brunch. A dress-up social event was the senior banquet held at the Sheraton-Fontenelle Hotel during the week of graduation. Finally, following years of preparation and anticipation, graduation night arrived. Seniors donned their traditional caps and gowns and marched up the steps to the speakers' platform to receive their hard-earned diplomas. Some laughed, some shouted for joy, and some cried as they bid their final farewells after the senior class party. The end had come- and so had the beginning. Not be ing able to retrace its steps, the clock pushed on to newer and greater horizons. It had ticked off some of the most precious and cherished hours for the Class of 1966.

Ke ith Allerton fought off Brian Walker, Bruce Bowen, and Rick Brandt when they tried to abduct Linda Hunt in the e laborate "raid" scene in " The Fantasticks." 'The Fantasticks' Was Fantastic Something totally different and unique was selected for the All-School Play, "The Fantasticks," a record-breaking off-Broadway musical . The difficult musical score and the stylized drama provided a challenge for the experienced all-senior cast of eight. The story was simple, but much deep meaning was conveyed through tile near-poetical lines. The problems of parents helping the ir children to grow up and the consequences of trying to cover up life's realities with rationalization were the basic plots of the production. Magical musical moments, light-hearted laughter, and decisive drama made "The Fantasticks" the success it was. So great was the popular acclaim, that two repeat performances we re scheduled. Mike Edris spent long ho urs at the g rand piano maste ring the difficult accompa niment for " The Fant astic ks." "Children a re bewilde rin'," agreed Jim Madsen and Rog Christe nsen as they conve rsed ove r the wa ll created by Marig ail Jury. "Only five more courses to go," exclaimed Kathy Stroebele to Jim Madsen, Kathy Griffin and Mike Dahlke. "Let's practice that kissing scene again," suggested Becky Clabaugh to Les Carroll. "Lost Horizon" Was Dramatic Exotic, oriental paintings, soft lighting and authentic Chinese furniture transformed the drab Abraham Lincoln stage into the mystical Tibetan lamasery of Shangri-La . Presenting "Lost Horizon" in such a realistic setting, the cast, composed of seniors, did an excellent job with this dramatic story. Les Carroll, playing a British Consul, was hijacked by a Tibetan pilot and taken to Shangri-La with a small group of American and British passengers. Joe lle Mauer, Monica Wo rkman and Connie Ratliff were sobered by the p resence of Ga rth Kemerling as the High Lama. The serenity of life at the lamasery overcame all the newcomers except Byron Wilkinson who desired to leave at all times. Garth Kemerling, the High Lama, entrusted the destiny of timeless Shangri-La to Les Carroll, but even Becky Clabau'gh's love for him could not keep him from aiding Byron Wilkinson and Monica Workman to leave. With a crash of thunder and an anguished cry, Les Byron, and Monica left Shangri-La, perhaps never to return. Pete Lee described life ~t Shangri·La to Byron Wilkinson, Christie Drake and Dean McMullen. 229 230 Banquet Was Big Success at Fontenelle Susan Eakin and Mike Moore we re recognized as the couple whose romance lasted the longest. Mark Eveloff received an award for spending the fewest hours in school. Due to circumstances beyond the control of the administration, this year's Senior Banquet was held at the Sheraton-Fontenelle in Omaha. Not quite certain what to expect, the two-hundred seniors who paid the $3.25 ticket price were pleasantly surprised with both the dinner and the program. A large coral banner proclaiming the class of 1966 in silver numerals, and crimson napkins on the table added color to the spacious ballroom where the dinner of roast beef was served. Beginning the program on a humorous note, Dennis McAdams captivated his ·audience with an amusing account of earlier school days. Next, taking the place of the usual "Will and Prophecy," was the "awards" ceremony emceed by Les Carroll who presented "goofy" awards. Richard "Pete" Lee added his extra touch by preceding each award with a trumpet fanfare?? The class will long remember the sly wit of Les Carroll as he carried the evening to a rollicking end. As Les Carroll announced the award winners, Pete Lee "blew" a salute to t~em . Les Carroll presented Charlie Caughlan with an award for being the most arg umentive student. " I hope he doesn't say anything about me," prayed Mike Rolf, as Dennis McAdams reminisced ea rl ie r school days. Graduates Cooled Off at Club 'IThis is a bette r war than Viel Nam!" "Jennings-grow up!" " Help! Put me down!" screamed Betty Trafton . After the "hot time" at graduation, everyone changed into grubbies and went to the Elks Club for a "cool time." While a few brave souls took a moonlight swim, other seniors and their dates danced to the wild beat of the "Chevrons." All good things must come to an end. As the clock struck 3 a.m., seniors could be found making summer plans for more parties and get-togethers. "One toe at a time!" 231 232 "Improved Means to an Unimproved End" was the title of Rev. W. E. Wicklund's sermon. Rev. M. A. Schmidt greeted Rev. W. W. Duit at the Baccalaureate Services. · Huge Crowd Attended On a most beautiful Sunday morning, May 29, 1966, A.L. seniors were honored at Baccalaureate Services. The orchestra presented a brief concert followed by the senior processional. Rev. W. W. Duit, father of Kathy Duit, gave the invocation. Then the choir presented two numbers followed by Lynn Ericksen who read the scripture. Rev. W. E. Wicklund, father of Steve, emphasized that "parents should shape up" so that their children would have better examples to follow. Services concluded with the benediction pronounced by Rev. M. A. Schmidt, father of Milverley. The congregation was the largest . in the history of the school. Several hundred enjoyed the Baccalaureate Brunch which followed in the cafeteria. Graduates and guests bowed their heads for the invocation. Lynn Erickse n, ROTC Chaplain, read the scripture. Baccalaureate Mrs. John Schweer and he r two daughters made a happy trio. "To the future, lads!! To the fut ure," chee red the seniors ove r the ir milk. Linda Auen had fun at the brunch with her pa rents and her g randmother. PT A members decorated the tables in the cafeteria with spring flowers for the Baccalaureate Brunch. Hundreds ·of parents, friends and seniors enjoyed the rolls, milk, or coffee at the late breakfast. Senior Rick Brandt waited impatiently as his mother assisted photogenic brothe r. 233 234 Commencement Held • In Bill Hughes was as happy as everyone else when he received his diploma. Leslie Thomas was filled with mixed emotions when her moment had finally arrived. Commencement Day dawned gray and rainy! Showers fell all morning and the weather bureau forecasted more in the evening. Much to the disgust of everyone, graduation exercises were moved to the T. J. Fieldhouse and the decoration committee, headed by Mrs. Gerald Ross, proceeded with its work. · Ironic •lly, outside the weather changed and the evening was clear and bright with a big, orange moon. Inside the Fieldhouse it was hot and sticky and two-thirds of the spectators stayed home to leave room for the parents. Dr. Willard R. Lane, professor of education at the University of Iowa, informed the graduates that he would gladly "swap a large piece of land on the moon for a little peace in Viet Nam." He urged all who could to seek a higher education. Four-hundred and twenty-five seniors were announced by Principal Owen and received their diplomas from Mr. William Cutler, School Board President. Dr. Willard R. Lane urged the seniors to get additional trai'ning. Fieldhouse on "Clear" Night I Excited ~e nior girls showed off their diamonds rings which indicated they were on their way •o a new life. Lloyd Marsh and Kathy Ward with their parents viewed the program for the "sticky" moments ahead. ·Gra,duation watches ranked high on the list of desirable gifts. 235 236 STUDENT LIFE "H ey, W a II y.

Abraham Lincoln is a high school which offers each student a chance for knowledge . Throughout the year, learning, discovering, laughing, playing, competing and acting were part of the daily student life . Time rushed on or lagged behind until suddenly the close of school approached. A restlessness filled the halls. Dusty shoes tramped up the old steps at a faster pace. Calendar watching became a habit. Loose ends were neatly tied and then the day arrived . Seniors held back stabs of nostalgia while eager smiles played on their faces. Juniors reveled in their new joy as about-to-be Seniors, and Sophomores sat on the edges of their seats waiting impatiently for the bell. It rang! Soon all was quiet. The doors opened and closed for the last time. The new grass grew unhampered. The teachers and students began a change of pace for the summer. However, Abraham Lincoln . was only dormant, for the next year brings a new beginning, middle, and ending as the clocks tick away the precious moments of high school life .
