Each day of Homecoming week consisted of a different theme. "Amber Hiebichuk and dressed up in Texas Longhorns stuff for team day," said Michelle Malick. "It was fun because we both love sports, especially football, and we never really get to dress up like that ... plus the Longhorns rock!" The halls were filled with bright colors on Thursday. The seniors wore black licorice, juniors dressed in lemon drop yellow, sophomores wore orange sherbet, freshmen were gumdrop grape and staff was green apple. "Paige Gallo and I made tiedyed orange shirts that said sun kissed sophomores," said Erica Erixon. "It was really cool to see all of the classes separated." On Thursday evening, the Homecoming Olympics were held in the Field House.

Each team thought of a cheer and an American Idol parody. The crowd's approval and many activities determined which teams advanced to the next level. The Weekend Runners team won. The Homecoming Olympic finals took place at the pep assembly Friday afternoon. The Homecoming football game took place on Friday, September 22, at CB Stadium against the Indianola Indians. "Even though we lost the game, it was still a fun night," said Samantha Jensen. "We were all really excited about the dance but it would have been bett~r if we would have won." The dance was held in the Field House from 8:00-1 1 :00 p.m. Student Council decorated in a variety of colors and decorations, including a projection screen and a chocolate fountain.

Photo By Eli.zabeth Ortiz Look On the Other Side of the Fence 0 n Saturday night, we drove around aimlessly trying to find something to do to cure our terrible boredom. We talked about the week's events and argued over different sides of the same story. Suddenly, we drove past Famous Dave's and everyone in the car stared as they all said in unison, "Let's go!" "On the weekends my friends and I play video games," said Tyler Brietzke. "We usually order Buffalo Wild Wings and just hang out." The other girls were getting ready and taking forever to fix their hair and figure out what to wear, all the while trying to decide where to go to eat. Finally, three hours later, we decided to go to HuHot and eat. After we finished eating, we decided to go hang out at one of their houses. "The best part of our girls night out is getting to have fun with friends," said Katelyn Longnecker. "We usually go to the movies or sleepover at someone's house. We tend to do a lot of gossiping." While the girls are conversing By Kayla Mackland and Eric Fjare abo~t hot topics at school the only talking boys are doing is screaming in pain after being hit during a paintball match. "PAINTBALL!" said Jordan Thompson. "We love to split up in teams and go against each other, it hurts but its fun." Hurting each other and complaining about the pain is keeping the boys busy while the girls tend to cherish their time together. "We usually just hang out," said Lindsay Sorenson. "I don't get to see my friends much at school so it is fun getting to spend t ime with them when we get the chance." Friday and Saturday usually serve as good nights for spending time with friends as well as any other t ime off from school. There's nothing like some good quality time with friends on your day off. No matter the case, a "night out" is a great way to spend t ime with friends. These time can be spent anyway, anyhow, anywhere and anytime. It just depends on the person and what they prefer most.

Photo by Michae la Au ff art. •··. ... Expensive toys have taken a toll over the years. In the 70's it was cool if someone owned his or her own car. Nowadays, owning their own car, motorcycle, boat or even a plane seems almost common for teenagers. "My family and I have had my boat for a while now," said Tony Liston. "I really enjoy just being able to take my boat out on Manawa without having to be on vacation and rent a boat. A toy is defined as an object for children to play with or something of little importance. As soon as expensive is put before the "toy", however, students develop more nerve and excitement to hear all about their family's new purchase. Before going out on the lake, Tony Liston, Tyler Alitz and Paul Tekippe look forward to having fun in the sun. "I love going fast in the water," said Liston. "The jet ski goes so fast and I love it. " "You know that feeling you get on Christmas?" said Peter Hutcheson. "When you unwrap your favorite gift you wanted that year, and you can notdecide if you should pee your pants or play with it first, that is the feel ing I felt when I saw my plane!" A lth o u gh Hutch e s on shares the plane with his whole a lot of hard work to manage and maintain. Similar to a motorcycle where Adrian Villareal did all the repairs himself. "I just recently got my motorcycle," said Villareal. "It took so much work and so much time for me to fix it up but I love every minute I ride on that thing." Price is a big factor with owning toys such as these, but that is the difference between is cool to students now, and what was cool to their parents. What is popular with teenagers has changed drastically over time. Imagine what will be considered an expensive toy in ten years! Acli;ian Vil arreal occasionally rides his motorcycle. He sees it as an escape from the world. "The epitome of fireedom, just you, and your thoughts, speeding down a road in the middle of the country."

However, this year the winter dance had a new twist. The winter dance is hosted every year by DECA. It usually took place in January, but this year it was delayed until March 17. "We originally planned the dance for February," said Steven Wimmer, DECA member. "But the night we planned it for turned out to be the same night as the girls' district basketball game, so it had to be postponed. It seemed like every time we found a date that would work, anot her event came up." With the change of date, many students felt that it changed the overall feel of the dance. "I went to the dance last year and this year," said Ashley Clark. "It was a lot different having it later in the year because the weather was nicer. I think more people went this year because of that." Although t he weather was more comfortable, some students felt that the winter dance fell in the shadow of bigger events. "I liked the dance better when it was in January," said Clark. 'That way it is right bePosing together, Winter Dance Court members smiled for a picture. The court held six boys and six girls including honorary members J enna Nikkel and Josh Huntoon. First Row: Caroline Murphy, Aaron Behrens, Cole Johnston, Claire Murphy, Caleb Johnston, Stacy Unde1wood, Cory Peterson, Lindsey Mccoy. Second Row: Logan Hudsbeth, Nikki Milder, Joshua Hug, Sarah Milner, Joshua Huntoon and Jenna Nikkel. Submitted photo tween Homecoming and Prom, so there's like a dance every season." The theme of the dance also changed several times along with the date, but DECA members finally settled on "Masquerade Madness," which caught the eye of many students. "The theme really started to sound fun when they began selling masks at lunch," said Corey George. "They were really colorful and sparkly, and I think it made more kids want to go." The dance was semi-formal and held in the small gym. Many students who attended chose to wear brightly decorated masks to match the theme. Some, however, felt that the theme did not pull threw. "The theme of the dance sounded really cool at first," said Samantha Cedillo. "But it got really tiring to hold up the mask the whole time. Plus no one really followed the theme." Even though planning the dance was a little bit bumpy, students like Cedillo and Clark agree that it turned out great. No matter the t ime or place, the winter dance served as a time for students to get away from the pressure of the dwindling school year, and have a good time together. Right. With the beat of the music, Scott Fleming danced in front of his friends. "The dance was fun , said Scott Fleming. "But if would have been better if the music fit the theme, They should have played Phantom of the Opera."

Right, Struggling with her task, Abigail Ku~ik tried to eat a doughnut dangling off the stiing in front of her. Wacky games created a welcoming atmosphere The restriction of her hands added to the difficulty. "All of the people in my youth group are extremely easy to talk to," said Kunik. 24 An escape, a place where no one's eyes look with judgment. Some students found exactly that when they joined a youth group; it was both relaxing and rewarding. These teens found positive influences in the teachings and fun activities they participated in while attending a youth group. "Our youth pastor talks a lot about things influencing us in our lives and how to resist them," said Abby Heistand, member of First Christian Church in Council Bluffs. "Also, how the devil is always there causing temptation." Designed for junior and senior high t eens, youth groups made church fun. The groups met weekly, sometimes more than once, and participated in various activities. Some churches have unique facilities that allowed the groups to participate in activities that other groups may not. "My church has a gym, and befor e youth group starts, we play games there," said Paul Schroder, member of White House Temple. Some of the activities these groups participated in included bowling, watching sports events, hosting parties and talent shows and going to concerts. Churches also offered opportunities to grow in faith through retreats and missions trips. "Last summer I went on a mission trip with my church to Mexico," said Heistand. "We built two houses for two families." "our church is also sending some people t o New Orleans this summer." The activit ies that youth groups participated in were not restricted to things within the people in attendance. Having people that were not a part of the group come and shar e in t he fun helped the groups grow. Groups tried to get the message spread about their r eligion by reaching out t o t he community. "W e did hockey and flag foot ball this summer and invited people from t he community to come," said Heistand. "Some of the adult members of the church come t o our gr oup every couple of months and it mixes it up." No matter what church t hey attended, teens found a place to worship by singing, reading, talking and much more through one common idea, faith. "Yout h group gives me a chance to grow closer t o God and learn about him and grow in faith," said Schroder. "It's also encouraging to know that there are other teens out there t hat believe the same things I do." Caugb t up in the action, Brice Hatcher and Seth Shively played each other in a game of Halo.

Some major changes included the Abe Pass, the tardy policy and the "No Pass, No Play" rule. Due to scores of students coming to class late, the administration established a one minute warning bell to inform students. If students still did not make it to class on time, they automatically received a fifteenminute detention. "I think the short bell was a good idea," said Sara Williams. "It really helped me get to class on time. I haven't been late all year." The "No Pass, No Play" policy challenged students who participated in extracurricular activities. If students are failed even one class, they lost the privilege to participate in any school activity. This new rule helped motivate students to focus on academics. "It's made students more accountable for their grades," said Ted Hennings, US History teacher. "I think it's made students care more about how they're doing in school." Rewarded for her great effot1 , Bobbi Nowlan received an ABE Pass for meeting all of the requirements. "I was really excited," said Nowlan. "All the hard work paid off." Photo By Elizabeth Ortiz 30 By Br ooke W ilhite The ABE Pass Policy changed the way many students performed in school. The pass allowed each grade to receive various privileges for meeting requirements. For the freshmen, the privileges included hall passes and being allowed in the gym during lunch. Sophomores get freshmen privileges, and are able to be a teacher/ office aid, and enter the parking pass lottery. Juniors receive all of the underclassmen privileges and are allowed a parking permit. Seniors receive everything under them, as well as off campus lunch. Receiving an ABE Pass was fairly simple. Maintaining a GPA of 2 .0 , having no unexcused absences, and having no fines, played a big role in whether or not students qualify for the pass. "It helps motivate students to not skip," said Jordan Colpitts. "I think it was a really good idea, and will better the school in the long run." The success of new policies showed throughout the school. They helped students stay in class and keep their grades up. It forced them to care more about their education.

Photo by Emily Stuart I I , Graduation 39 From Radon to Rome By Eric Fjare Discovering Science and the World Learning about Social Studies and Science is needed to survive in today's world, more than most people realize. Many students see Social Studies as useless, because all they do is learn about historical events and such. However, this is untrue because Social Studies finds uses in everyday life. Those who took Law and Government classes were more prepared to work in the law enforcement field and those who took history classes were prepared for most everyday life because history repeats itself. On the other hand, science is quite useful no matter what degree or career someone is looking into. A good start for those who want to go into medical or biological type careers included biology classes, while those who took chemistry and physics classes were set to go into engineering and other physical building type careers. Considering these two types of classes, some students enjoy social studies and learning about famous people and events in history, while others prefer the science classes with hands-on labs. Below Testing his knowledge of Physics, Jeffrey Kramer shoots a paintball into a tin canin an experiment designed to help students learn more about exit velocity. "AP Physics is great," said Kramer. "It gives me and the other students a chance to see math work in real experiments and situations." Photo By Rafe Alverio 42 "Social Studies is easy because nothing ever changes," said Alex Storey. "I've taken just about every history class possible." Some of the Social Studies classes include World and US History, American government, Law and Legal System, Culture and Sport, with many others. On the other end with science, classes include types of Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Engineering, Astronomy and Environmental Studies. "Science is usually my best subject," said Robbie Nichols. 'Tm thinking about getting a degree in chemistry and working in pharmaceuticals." While Social Studies deals more with taking notes and reading textbooks, Science uses more hands-on experiments with labs and math-oriented problems. History and governmental classes fall under the Social Studies department, while learning to deal with chemicals and the way things work both fit into in the science department.

Various activities helped keep the students interested in the class. This year, students separated int o groups and came up with a dance routine. "My favorite thing we did this year was the dance unit," said Lindsi Foote. "We learned a lot of different types of dancing, and even got the chance to come up with out own." Strength and Conditioning, a more popular class offered in the department, helped students participating in sports to stay in shape. Strengt h and Conditioning helped give students the knowledge of life-time activities to stay in shape. "The class has helped make me stronger and gain weight for football season," said Liston. "It's kept me in shape." This year, the Physical Education Department switched to a daily schedule per semester in an effort to help students stay fit and keep in better shape. In previous years, they met every other day for the entire year. It also eliminated the confusion student s seemed to have with what day t hey had class. Offering a wide selection of activities in the three courses increased interest in this department.

"Every day I get to learn more and more new things that have to do with the English language and America. " Photo By Elizabeth Ortiz Bridging the Gap By Eric Fjare The foreign language department included quite a diverse array of subjects. W ith more foreign exchange students and immigrants coming to America each year, it was necessary for everyone to learn new languages so living toget her could be as easy as possible. Also, depending on career plans, those who learned a foreign language were mor e prepared for college. For some students, learning a foreign language was fun; for others it was t erribly boring. Either way, learning a foreign language was beneficial to them, no matter the amount of work it took. This year, AL offered Spanish, German, French, and Chinese classes. Most students took a foreign language for college require50 ments, but others had a passion for a certain language and chose to take multiple years of it. "I thought it would be cool to learn a new language and culture," said Nate Kennedy, currently taking German. Others took a more educational viewpoint of their classes. "I took French because I knew I would need it for college," said Sarah Peters. "I have a lot of friends in that class." While Peter s took French for college purposes and to mess around with friends, others wanted to learn a different language for fun. "Spanish seemed like it would be the most useful language to learn," said Kyle Fjare. "It's fun learning new words and phrases." Not all of the foreign language department was composed of native English speakers, however, The English Language Learner (ELL) students learned English as their second, sometimes third, language. Mostly foreign exchange students and immigrants made up the ELL department - sometimes they still needed translators to communicate with the rest of the student body. The foreign language department kept busy with all the students who want ed to learn other languages. The experience was fun and rewarding to those who stuck with it. Working together, Nancy Solorio, Lulu Castro, and Brenda Solorio look for pictures to make a collage. "ELL h elps me a lot, said Castro.

Photo by Caitlin Evers 51 With the willingness to design and construct mechanical structures increasing in popularity, a new department arose within AL This department is made up of two classes, Introduction to Engineering and Principles of Engineering. "Both of these new classes are thought to be applied sciences and are in their own department," said Justin Heckman, Principles of Engineering teacher. "However. many people in the field consider engineering to be an Industrial Art. The main focus of the Principles of Engineering class is to take science and the ideas that evolve around mechanics and to apply them to real life situations. That way, we give the students the chance to experience the field today." Heckman was not the only person enthusiastic about the new classes; even the students he teaches enjoy the class and look forward to the next day. "I really like this class," said Nolan Vallier. "It gives me a chance to further my design skills and to research a science that I have an interest in." One such project, was a presentation project on a certain engineering degree. "I enjoy studying mechanical engineering," said Marcus W illiams. "And through Principles of Engineering, I got to research the job, what it takes to be a professional, and the schooling needed to get a degree." Whether students have waited years for the school to get more engineering classes, or interests were just recently sparked, more options are opening to explore the engineering fields and what exactly being an engineer takes. 52 Determined to build a winning racer, Wyatt Seals works on his mouse trap car during Principles of Engineering class.

Photo By Eric Fjare Hands on Work By Brooke Wilhite The Industrial Tech Department gave students opportunities to stretch imaginations and prepare for the future. Construction and Manufacturing, Wood Tech, and Drafting were among the classes that prepared students who wanted to pursue careers in building after high school. Wood Tech provided hands-on activities for t he students and allowed them to creatively. By keeping them busy and allowing them t o work at their own pace t his program held positive qualities for many students. ''This class has really benefited me," said Jonathan Hilz. "I've gotten a lot more out of it. It's all hands-on, and we have no down time, which I love about that class." The Drafting course was one of the most popular Industrial Art Courses among the students. It prepared the students to pursue a career in construction. Technical drawing-the universal code syst em for artists- was used throughout the course. The Drafting course also required some math skills. "Having [that] knowledge allows you to communicate better in the field," said Dan Fee Tech teacher. "It 's the primary language in the industry." Construction and Manufacturing has been offered for several years, but many students were not aware of it. It dealt with the same fields as W ood Tech and Drafting, but it involved more teamwork. Constr'uction and M anufacturing provided insight on managing people, processes, resources and time. ''The focus of this class is t o work together," said Fee. "We try to prepare t he students and make them as competent in t his field as possible." The Industrial Tech department provided great opportunities for students.

By Tracy Jones DECA, an association of marketing students, presented numerous opport unities for students through the marketing education program. DECA members put forth a great deal of effort towards community service, marketing education, and school involvement. "(DECA students] helped raise money for organizations like the Micah House," explains Stefanie Buhrman, DECA member. DECA donated quite a bit of food to t he Micah House during the holidays. Additionally, t he organization raised extra funds for t he Heart Connect ion, a children's cancer relief or ganization. Also, members participat ed in confer68 ences and competitions at the district, state, and national levels all over the United States. Conferences and competitions enabled members to learn more about a variety of marketing fields, which helped members prepare for t he stat e competition. "I attended Fall Conference, districts, state, Central Region Leadership Confe1'ence, and t he International Career Development Conference," said Buhrman. "At competitions we t ake t ests about different marketing areas, and we do a role play with a judge." Marketing education obtained through courses helps members outside of compet itions as well. "DECA is full of opportunities," said Buhrman. "It's going to help me prepare for my future career." Networking with business people in the community and educational experiences helped Buhrman significantly. Furthermore, OECA members involved in school functions helped the school. OECA sponsored the Winter Dance and the Silent Auction. "OECA is really fun because it isn't your average class,'' said Storey. "We are able to do stuff that other classes don't, like the silent auction." The organization, composed of 25 st udents, was successful at all of its endeavors. I I L Above.

He rushed around getting ready before walking out the door for another day of school. StuCo met every Tuesday morning at 7:00 a.m. in Room 227 with sponsor, Jen Wiles, to discuss their business. "StuCo is always trying to look for new things to keep the student body involved," said Quinn Powell. "We try to make everyone feel like they are welcome at school." At meetings, they began by discussing business relating to the organization as a whole. Then they split into six committees including spirit and pride, publicity, student relations, faculty relations, entertainment and community service. Each committee focused on planning events to involve students. "I'm on the spirit and pride committee,'' said Megan Peterson. "We come up with ways to get the students more spirity and proud of the school. It's really hard work and you have to work for things you want." Student Council sponsored many events throughout the year. Homecoming week festivities, tailgates, Mr. and Miss AL and spirit days were only a few. Members planned these events anywhere from a few days to a few months in advance. It took both organization and leadership to plan such extensive events. "Whenever we have a lot of thing going on at once," said Powel l. "It's hard because everyone has to know their job and they have t o do it because otherwise By Emily Zimmerman everything will fall apart." Besides planning, StuCo members attended various conferences throughout the year to improve leadership skills. They participated in small group discussions with StuCo members from around the state to talk about topics like the influence of drugs and alcohol at school, encouraging school spirit and how to become better role models. "I learned a lot about leadership from the [Ames] conference," said Powell. "They really make you realize if you don't step up, then no one will." Members campaigned for their positions and applied for their position by obtaining student signatures, teacher recommendations and giving a speech to their class. Elections were held in the spring of the previous year. Student Council affected more than just the student body. Many teachers saw the effects StuCo members cause at AL. The members were expected to act as leaders and good role models for the student body. "I believe StuCo provides leadership," said faculty member, Randi Kennedy. "[It] helps the student body focus on positive experiences and opportunities at AL." Student Council worked continuously throughout the school year to encourage school spirit within the student body. Their enthusiasm and hard work showed through the various activities they planned including homecoming, tailgates, spirit days and the carnival. They wanted to make the school year enjoyable for students and faculty. Below. The annual Lynx Carnival raised money for various organizations.

Photo By Elizabeth Ortiz lrtThree, Two, One ... Lights, camera, action! Each Monday, AL students and staff sit back and enjoy the quality news shows put on by the broadcasting department. While students take a break from the constant workload at school, they sometimes underestimate the amount of hard work and effort put into the productions of both programs. ALI [AL Insider) is a news magazine show, which focuses on community issues, as opposed to things happening at AL. The show is broadcast throughout AL and also on Channel 18. "I really like being on Insider." said Andy Ernst. "I'm in Entertainment and my job is to make people laugh. It's just a good feeling knowing that if someone is having a bad day, something I say or something Lacey Fischer says might make them laugh, and make their day a little better." GMAL [Good Morning AL] is a news television show, which focuses on issues inside AL. Although the production got off to a rocky start, the staff got the show up and running by September. 'There were a lot of new people on staff this year." said Kayla Babbitt. "We all had to learn fast and work hard to get everything done." Along with having young members, the staff was also a little short handed. When the recruiting process ended, there were not an equal number of videographers and reporters. In order to include everyone in the production of the show, Dirk Waller. Social Studies t eacher. stepped up and became a videographer. Marsha Grandick, broadcasting supervisor. trained Waller throughout the school year so that he can take her place when she r etires next year. Once the production was up and running, the staff still faced the challenge of training brand-new people. To get to know each other and break the ice, the staff went to Shady Lane for a hayrack ride and party. ''The hayrack ride was really fun," said Babbitt. "It was good getting to know t he members of the staff outside of school." After the airing of a show, or after reaching another goal, members of both staffs bring food and drink, and have a celebration party during t heir class period. However. it t akes loads of hard work to complete each show, including coming in before and after school as well as taking class time. "Being on staff is a lot of work," said Tony Liston. ''A lot of us come in before or after school, or during lunch to finish our stories." The staff is expected to meet deadlines so the students and faculty at AL can enjoy the final product on Mondays. This year. select members of the GMAL staff will be competing in a contest in California. Members of both GMAL and ALI agree that even with all of the time and effort that must be put into the production, Broadcast Journalism classes are an excellent introduction to careers in broadcasting. However, even if they are not interest ed in broadcasting as a career. experience provided by these classes broadens students' other career opportunities. Skills taught in broadcasting range from effective communicating, to video editing. "I'm not sure what my future plans are," said Ernst. "But I can definitely see broadcasting as a possibility. It's cool to have the opportunity to participate in something like this, even if it 's not something you want to do for the rest of your life."

Photo By Elizabeth 01·tiz 73 -· By Brook Wilhite J ournalism plays a big role in today's society. However. most people are unaware of how it affects them, and how much they are exposed to the media everyday. Without journalism. sports would not be as popular. news could not be spread quickly, and there would be no media at all. The AL journalism programs are an excellent opportunity. The schools lucky to have a staff dedicated to improving the school's journalism program,. Making the second all color yearbook and an award-winning newspaper takes time and devotion that is often over looked by the student body. Each program provides two class periods and schedules work nights outside of school hours. Both constantly work towards one goal, which is striving to produce the best yearbook and newspaper for their student body. "We are assigned five stories at a time, and do several drafts," said Tyler Brietzke, writer for The Echoes newspaper. "It's a lot of hard work, but still a lot of fun. " The programs greatly differ from the porfessional journalism staffs, in that they are not funded. Where professional staffs take income from publication sales, ALS journalism department raises money by selling advertisements. The money they receive goes straight t o their publisher to print the newspaper and yearbook. Top Right Listening intently, Robert Kerber interviews for an article in the Echoes, as Rafe Alverio prepares to take a photgraph. "Interviews are easy," said Alverio. "Most of the time I walk around to see if there are any people in the hallways and if not I'll go into the classroom and ask to pull the student out for an interview." Photo By Elizabeth Ortiz Right Determined to get her draft in on time, Emily Prugh reviews the story she has written for the newspaper. "I'm pretty much a perfectionist," said Prugh. "When it comes to my own work and the work of others, I'm really picky. It's fun to read what everyone is writing, but it's also difficult because you have to really pick apart their work." Photo By Elizabeth Ortiz 74 The two Journalism programs mimic real media staffs fairly well. Though the atmosphere s stressful at times, it gives the students a chance to learn new ideas to handle deadlines. As every student on both staffs find out, stress plays a huge factor in the classes. There are always deadlines to meet, and large amounts of work to finish. Both programs teach students how to work together to meet their deadlines. That takes a lot of stress off the students. "There are always people willing to help," said Emily Zimmerman, editor-in-chief of the Crimson and Blue yearbook. "Everyone pretty much shares the work, which helps make things less stressful.'' Both staffs face many similar issues, as professional journalism staffs. Everyone is given a specific job and must meet deadlines. If those deadlines are not met, it keeps everyone else from getting their task finished. This teamwork is difficult, but it shows the staffs how important it is to work together. The Echoes, and The Crimson and Blue yearbook are two fun ways to get involved in school. Both programs tell stories and show the students what goes on throughout the school and the community. Being in yearbook and newspaper allows the students to communicate with the student body and inform them on events in the school, community and nation.

Tucker Center offered several classes in the areas of Electronic l\Yledia, Culinary Management, Automotive, Information Technology, Cisco Networking, Medical Health Science, and Early Childhood Career . Tucker Center was a place where student had the opportunity to gain, not only high sc ool credits, but college credits as well, and pro ided needed workplace experience.

This was taste of what it felt like to stand in the shoes of one of the bowlers on the AL bowling team. In order to achieve the great season they did this year, the team needed to work hard and work together. Students gave many reasons to join the team; the hunger of competition in some and a fun spirit in others. "I joined the team because a group of my friends wanted to try it," said Amanda Rollings. "I thought that it would be something fun to try." On this year's varsity team, one freshman, Emily Regan, took a spot. "My goal this year was to make varsity," said Regan. One difference that Regan found when bowling for AL as opposed to her league team was Baker bowling. The Baker method puts Above. Placing her hand in the perfect position, Katie Moehle picked up her ball in preparation for her bowl. "Bowling th is year a lot of fun ," said Moehle. "It gave me a chance to try something new, and to make a number of new fri ends." Photo By Caitlin Evers 80 emphases on a group effort while bowling. This method of bowling was one way to bring the team together throughout the season. "There were a lot of people who did not get along at all," said Rollings. The team did not start out as a very close group at the beginning of the season but the grew together as the season went on, according to this bowler. One of the biggest accomplishments of the bowling team was to send two bowlers to the state level competition. Caleb Johnston and Kyle Suder both went t o Des Moines to compete against BB other boys in the state finals of the AA division. "I felt honored and glorious when I found out that I had qualified to compete at state," said Suder. Overall, with both success and a lot of fun this season definitely made an impression upon the fast paced lives of some of the students at AL. With few downs and many highs, it was an enjoyable season for all involved. Right. With focus in his eyes, Christopher Kopelciw looked down the lane before taking his turn.

With the bases loaded, two outs, and a full count on the batter, the game was over with this pitch. Quickly, the pitcher stepped up to the mound; he looked at first base, then third, checking the runners. He might be able to pick them off and end the inning. He looked back at home plate, and slowly wiped the sweat from his face. The catcher gave the signal: two fingers, a curveball. However, the pitcher wanted this out, he shook off the catcher until he finally got his pitch, the ever-famous fastball. After a short pause to calm down, the pitcher wound up, then let the ball fly. With all his weight behind that throw, the ball flew past the batter and the umpire called strike three. This type of nail-biting, breath-holding win seemed like a reoccurring theme during this year's baseball season. It happened many times on all levels of play: Varsity, Junior Varsity, and Freshman. Usually, the team kept the game in hand, only to lose their lead in that last inning, or the team rallied for the comeback win. These types of wins and loses hurt the team's record, but never hurt their team spirit in fact, it made the bond between players and coaches that much stronger. "I hate losing, that is a fact. These types of wins and loses made me feel that my hard work was not ever 04 JO 08 06 09 q q q J-J ...c:1 C\l C\l (/) 0 J-J ...---i ...---i CJ (/) H CJ CJ ~ H 0 CJ CJ CJ z ~ ~ ::>--, ~ CJ ::>--, ::>--, ::>--, J-J ,__.., J-J J-J J-J "'°"" "'°"" "'°"" "'°"" u (/) C\l u u u ;.<: s ;.<: ;.<: ;.<: ;::::! ;::::! ;::::! ;::::! 0 0 ...c:1 0 0 0 Cf) "'°"" f-; Cf) "'°"" Cf) "'°"" Cf) "'°"" enough and made me realize that no matter how much I love the game of baseball, it was not forgiving and would never love me back," said Kyle Gann. "But through every hard fought win, or every close loss, everyone on the team got closer. We became like a family, a family where everyone fought for the same goal, that final win." With a new coaching staff and new players, the Lynx season took off with high hopes. 'The new coaches this year were great, they made the season more worthwhile," said Tyler Brietzke. "Some were new to the sport, but they really taught us about teamwork and how to challenge ourselves. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better coaching staff. They taught us more about the game itself and more on how to keep our spirits up through the thick and the thin." Through long and hard practice, players learned the basics of fielding, hitting, and throwing; the teams seemed ready for their first games. With wins and loses on both sides of the ball, players still kept up their high hopes as a season can always turn around. But every game seemed to get tougher and tougher, causing the teams to work harder than ever. Soon, that newfound hope turned to a hope for next year, when the coaches and players reunite to start again, and maybe clench that well-deserved win07 02 05 09 06 II ,..q q q q C\l C\l J-J J-J ...---i ...---i (/) 0 H CJ CJ µ µ CJ (/) 0 CJ CJ (/) (/) ~ H z ~ ~ C\l C\l ~ ~ ~ ::>--, 4-i ::>--, ::>--, ::>--, ::>--, ::>--, CJ J-J µ µ µ µ µ ,__.., "'°"" "'°"" "'°"" "'°"" "'°"" u "'""'" Cf) u u u u u C\l ;.<: s ;.<: ;.<: ;.<: ;.<: ;.<: ;:::l ;:::l ;::::! ;::::! ;:::l ;:::l 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ...c:1 "'°"" "'°"" "'°"" "'°"" "'°"" "'°"" Cf) Cf) Cf) Cf) Cf) Cf) f-; 06.06.06 06.08.06 06.12.06 06.1 5.06 06.15.06 06.22.06 06.26.06 06.29.06 07.03 06 07.03.06 07.06.06 06.06.06 like a lady, you treat it well, and it will treat you well.

"Even though it takes a lot of summer nights I still enjoy the sport," said Jessica Grego. "A lot of my friends do it and if I wasn't playing softball with them I don't know what I would do on all those nights anyways!" Missing out on summer nights may not bother the players, but they feel it is a summer sport that few students have information about where games are held. "I feel like not very many fans come to watch us sometimes," said Laura Ingraham. "I know people would come to they games, but a lot of my friends usually don't even know that I have one; we need to get better about spreading the word." With a record of 22-16, the girls felt satisfied with the season. The overall score of the entire season turned out better then the previous year. 'The season went well," said Sarah Milner. "It is always so much fun to play softball but even better when you can celebrate a victory with your teammates.'' Though the team did bond very well they struggled to beat TeeJay. This cross-town rival put up a fight, but the Lynx still pulled through. "It was a great game for bot h teams," said Grego. 'The entire time we were playing it was a question as to who was going to win, but the girls came together for the win.'' W ith all the different positions and goals throughout the season, the team came together to the benefit of the players.

Photo by Elizabeth Ortiz 94 Fans cheered on the boys to keep them pumped up throughout the game. The players shut down their opponent, Fort Dodge, the entire first half. Hope filled the fans and players, and it looked as though Abraham Lincoln would take their first win of the season. The last minute and a half of the fourth quar ter tested At.:s defensive line. Fort Dodge held the ball on At.:s 5-yard line, prepared to score, only needing a touch down and the extra point to steal the win. Determined to not let their whole team or fans down, the defensive line pulled together. and passed the test with a major win. The game ended with a victory for the Lynx, making the final score 6-0. "The win was a gracious feeling. It was a hard-fought battle," said Kyle Suder. "I would have been terrible to lose after all our hard work." The boys worked hard at the start of the season to get in shape and to prepare for the tough schedule ahead. The team devoted their summer to football camp and weightlifting every day. During those practices they created three main goal to improve as individuals and as a team. The team concentrated on improving thei record, winning conference and qualifying for state playoffs. Having five starting sophomores on the team presented the team with an op portunity to grow. This young talent looked up to their older teammates for the guid ance and knowledge to develop into better players. The upperclassmen even bonded with the underclassmen outside of practice. After summer weightlifting every day, the team went bowling together. "It is pretty exciting starting on varsity my sophomore year." said John Rice. "A first it was really nerve-racking, but the upperclassmen made it more fun." However, by the second game the goals did not look so promising due to several starting players' injuries. Despite that factor. the team mindset remained positive. The boys came together and were determined to improve in any way they knew pas sible. "With so many players injured, we had to rearrange positions," said Aaron Beh rens. " But that is only made us work better as a team." Towards the middle of the season, the team concentrated on two major upcom ing games, Homecoming against Indianola and the cross-town rival, TeeJay. How ever. after an upsetting loss to Indianola, the team knew they had a challenge ahead of t hem. At practice that following week, they prepared for the biggest game of the year against TeeJay. The boys concentrated mainly on getting their offense in shape. However, the boys took a devastating loss with a final score of 7-17. Ending the season with an overall record of 1-8 was disappointing to many play ers and fans. However. the boys tried looking on the positive sides to the season. Their defense was considered the teams strongest point and improved a grea amount throughout the season. Knowing what they need to improve on for the fol lowing season, the boys began preparing for it by weightlifting during off seasons.

A slight breeze blew through the open trail; trees and other vegetation shrouded the trail. Everyone became quiet, when all of a sudden, BAM! The gun went off and suddenly, the peaceful wooded trail turned to chaos as hundreds of runners rushed off the starting line all with one thing in mind: "This race has only just begun." On the AL cross country boys' side of the spectrum, high expectations surrounded them with six out of the seven varsity boys returning from the previous year's season. "I think we're a good team," said Matthew Peters. "There is good senior leadership and a lot of young talent." The boys started the season with the Glenwood Invitational and took a fourth place finish in the t eam standings. Three of the seven varsity boys received medals in this meet. "We definitely have room for improvement," said Coach Mick Freeman, "We need t o work on staying together as a t eam in meets. There is a big gap between our top three and our last four runners: In the middle of the season, the boys' head coach, Mick Freeman, became ill and ended up in t he hospital for a couple of weeks. Coach Scott Milner t ook his spot for t hat period of time, and it only made t he boys' team stronger and more united. The boys took first place at the Denison Invitational during Freeman's absence. "W e did it for Freeman," said Peters. "We want him t o get better as soon as possible." "Coach Milner was a major plus for the team while I was sick," said Freeman. "I couldn't have been more pleased with the results."

They spent time together almost every day during the summer. "I am for bonding," said Rafael Alverio-Newton, "I am all for working with the team, having team car chases, doing chants, and throwing stuff at each other. We are all really good friends." Adding to what Newton mentioned, Samuel Heithoff said, "It's the best sport ever, team bonding is strong and the atmosphere is great. These guys are my brothers." The boys cross country team kept improving and ended their season with a bang. The girls' cross country team also enjoyed being together and working as a team. They lost two of their top runners from the previous season, but had quite a few newcomers to fill the gaps. "It's my first year and it's pretty tough," said Cara Pettit. "There has been a lot of improvement so far, so we should be pretty good. It's fun being with this group of girls." Coach Ron Lakatos runs with the girls on a daily basis to keep them working hard. "Times keep improving, and many of the girls enjoy running with the team every day," said Lakatos. "We should place in the upper half of the conference meet and we will see what happens at districts." The girls continued to impr ove every meet and ended their season with flying color s. They really made some great strides to finish out their season. Either way, the ALHS cross country teams had much to look forward to in t heir respective seasons, and it took hard work and effort to make it through.

Thomas Jefferson, Lewis Central and Sioux City West participated as well. Tickets sold out at all four schools, resulting in quite a large student section for each team. Both AL teams prepared for the big game all week during practice. They worked on improving their weak points and perfecting their strong. Knowing the tough matches ahead of them, the teams held a positive mindset. The girls basketball team faced crosstown rival, Thomas Jefferson; the team knew from the start that they were up against tough competition. They struggled defensively and knew they needed to improve in order to beat TeeJay. They worked on their defense by practicing 5 vs. 7 drills. Finally, the game they waited for all season arrived. The first half ended badly, with TeeJay leading 17-26. Nothing seemed to work against the opponent. Discussing what went wrong motivated the girls to come into the second half and catch up. "We knew we had to go back out there and play the second half like we wanted it," said Laura Sales. "We needed to hustle more and put forth an effort, and start stepping up on defense." The girls came out the second half and played harder than before. Unfortunately, their hard work did not cut it. They took a heartbreaking loss to TeeJay, ending the close game with a final score of 46-48. The boys basketball team faced Lewis Central. The boys knew their offense needed to pull through due t o LC's height advantage. Their hard work and effort paid off. On fire, the offense scored several 3-point shots back to back. LC tried everything in their power to stop them but failed. AL led the entire game. The boys played their best game of t he season that night, shocking both fans and opponent s with their talent. They came away wit h a hard-earned, successful win, ending with the final score of 58-53. "We played har d and did great ," said Tyler W. Johnson. "We did really well at rebounding and making shots. It was a really exciting experience." Starting that tradition made an unforgettable memory for t he players, as well as the fans. It made for a great experience for the team to play at a st at e t ournament facility. Both boys and girls worked hard and played a great game. Right.

We stand by the side of a swimming pool. Humid air emanates from the large body of water that we stare into silently. Our coach says his final words of encouragement as we prepare ourselves for the upcoming race. The announcer calls our relay up to the starting blocks to begin the race. The swimmers get up on the blocks and set their feet. The pool silently waits for the starter's call. No one moves a muscle. The starter yells, "Take your marks!" All the swimmers lean over to grab the front of the blocks to get closer to the water. "Beep!" Everyone springs out of the start like cats leaping on their prey. The swimmers enter the water and away they go. The ALHS boys' and girls' swim teams both enjoyed a good season this year with several state qualifiers and some big wins. They worked long and hard after school every day for months on end, swimming close to five miles a day. Three girls qualified for state on their swimming/ diving team and they worked hard to get there. "I really improved a lot this year," said Meredith Bargenquast. 'Tm hoping to go back next year." Other qualifiers felt the same. "Going to state was a great experience," said Brittani Robinson. "I think if the team works hard next year. then they definitely have potential to do well." While Robinson and Bargenquast qualified for state in diving, Elizabeth Ortiz qualified in the 100 meter breaststroke for swimming. Right. Alex Storey prepares to begin his race. Photo by Caitlin Lombardo By Eric - Fjare - "It was really exciting!" said Ortiz. "It was what I always wanted since my freshman year. It was a little scary, though, swimming against the top swimmers in the state." None of the boys qualified for state, but they won the city meet and a few swimmers came close to qualifying for state at the district swim meet in Des Moines. "We had an all right year." said Jake Welch. "A lot of people stepped up and performed well. I think the team should be good next year because a lot of people are returning to the team." The girls started their season fairly well and improved all the way until the very end. A lot of swimmers returned from the previous year's season and they achieved some big wins. Many swimmers quit towards the end of the season, but the girls kept going strong and finished the season with a bang. "We cooperated with each other a lot more towards the end of the season," said Bargenquast. "I think our team will keep improving because there is a lot of good sportsmanship and encouragement." The boys started their season well, but they needed to improve. Some freshmen stepped up to the plate and filled the gaps that the seniors left from last year's season. "I think I did pretty well this year as a freshman," said Patrick Whitsell. "I did a lot of swimming before this year and that really helped." Both teams lost only a few seniors this year. and many of the varsity swimmers were expected to return the next year. Right. Leaping from the starting block, Meredith Whye enters the race.

However: underneath a bundle of sweats, the runners can hardly feel the cold. They start their warm-up routine: butt kicks, high knees, a skips and b skips. Soon their breath comes heavily, and they can feel the warmth of their muscles and their readiness to run. They hear the final call, and begin stripping off layer after layer of warmth. As each layer is removed, their body temperature seems to drop 10 degrees. They step up to the line and their bodies tremble, both from adrenaline and nerves. On the command, their muscles bunch, waiting like a pouncing cat. Hearing the gun shot as if from a mile away, the runners take off down the track. Scenes like this are what members of AL track and field go through every time they step ot1t0 the track. They must defend themselves BQ~IAst not just one opponent, but seven or eight. Not being warmed up or not stretching properly can cause a runner to lose a race, a aven end a season due to injury. Being prepared was stressed by coaches on both the SQy& and girls squads, seeing as each runner was needed at every meet. AL boys track, a legend in Southwest Iowa, had a lot to live up to with three undefeated seasons in a row. Even without past state GA8mploi:is and record-holding runners, the SS.EISDfl looked positive.

" Photo by Nicole Paulson 106 school track, the season started out great with a third and second place finish at the two preseason meets. Finally, with the start of the outdoor season, AL looked to continue their reign over the city with their fourth win in four years at Council Bluffs Relays. However: that dream was shattered as TJ crossed the finish line first in the 4x400 and won by only seven points. "It's a shame that we didn't win because for the past three years we have," said Kyle Madsen. "It would have been nice to win more and after the loss I felt like I had been cheated out of something that I deserved and had earned." The season continued with heartbreaking losses and only one win, but hopes were still kept high. With only one meet left, the coaches worked to improve runners, not just for this season, but for next year and the years to come. They hoped to make AL boys track a legend again, one that would challenge other local teams. "There really weren't any surprises," said Bart Wrtte. 'We expected certain people to do well and those people did fine, but there were a couple of events that came up short.'' No matter how rough the season was, the good points included the number of State and Drake Relay qualifiers. These included Matt Peters in the mile and two mile, Jake Ott in the 200-meter dash, Cory Peterson in the long jump, Cole Johnson in the discus throw, Chase Tanner in the shot-put, Chris White in the 400- meter hurdles, and the 4x20Gmeter relay By Peter Hutcheson (made up of Jake Ott, Cory Peterson, Chris White, and John Rice). The girls squad, a team facing many struggling seasons, had an impressive year. W ith a number of returning seniors and a lot of new girls, the small team gained some depth and the season looked better then ever. "We had a lot of really good freshman come up this year:" said Ron Lakatos. "It gave a us a chance to fill up some relays and do some real good for the team as a whole." With more girls running, the team could finally fill up some lanes. Able to put runners and throwers in every event, they got more and more chances to run well and break t heir own records. W ith heart and talent, the t eam ran to a better season then they had seen 1n a long time. Six girls represented the AL Lynx at the Drake Relays and the State meet in field events and sprints. Those included Stephanie Huntoon for Drake and State in the 200-meter dash and 400-meter dash, Sarah Milner in high jump for State, and the girls' 4x400 meter team with Emily Olsen, Emily Murray, Jes-; sica Flom, and Stephanie Huntoon. All in all, both teams performed well and learned many lessons needed to improve for the future. The boys, although not undefeat ed, turned out a good season and set new school records, while the girls impr oved drasticall~ resulting in a remarkable season compared td some of the previous ones. 2nd 2nd 4th 6th 3rd 8th 3rd 8th 0 ~ --< C/) :>-., .j....l 0 c-s Cl) r-1 Cl) Cl) .j....l ~ ~ Cl) ~ Cl) Left.

Facing a lot of new challenges throughout the season forced the teams to come together and put forth the effort needed to make this happen. The girls soccer team brought in new talent by adding five freshmen players to the varsity team. Leadership from senior players played a big roll in bringing the young team together. From the very first day, the seniors stepped up and used their knowledge and experience to help out their teammates. 'The biggest difference from last year was the senior leadership," said Kelsey Herr. "They got out of their cliques and started bonding with the team and making it more personal." To improve from past seasons, the team concentrated on becoming more in shape by doing conditioning drills during practices. From the very first practice, the girls started running new drills to improve their speed. To help with the conditioning, Coach Sara Kearns joined the team. Kearns used her experience and talent to help get the girls where they needed to be. The girls set a goal at the start of the season to improving their record from last year. With hard work and dedication, they successfully accomplished their goal. The boys soccer team had a slow start to their season. They knew if they wanted to become good they had to play harder and start working as a team. Focused and determined, the team slowly started improving by moving the ball down the field and passing. The team focused on several technical drills during practice t hat started showing up in the game. "We started becoming a t eam," said Sam Milder. "It's really started to show during games." The coaches played a big role in bringing the team together. They pushed the players to be the best players they could. As a result, the players started performing in ways on the field that they had never done before. Overall, the boys and girls were very satisfied with how t heir season t urned out. They may not have had a winning record, but they accomplished their goals and became better players for it. Left.

Despite the ups and downs, both teams were extremely successful. They not only scored well, but they overcame group battles and worked together to achieve a great season. "We had a good year," said Collin Crowl. "And even though we didn't win conference we still had fun. It was a good experience for my first year on varsity." The boys tennis team practiced every day and showed off their hard work with an 8 and 1 season. They won City Conference for the second year in a row and showed enormous amounts of teamwork. There were six varsity players and nineteen JV players. The majority of the team had been playing together for at least a year and were ready for a great season. "It took a lot of effort, teamwork, and hard practices,'' said Shane Rooney. "But it was fun and harder than most people think." a a 1me When talking to the boys tennis team, there was one factor that mattered to them most: their coach, Mr. Wilder. Wilder realized that he coached many strong players and planned to push them to become extraordinary athletes. He had found a great group of athletes and led them to what became a great season. "We had strong individual performances, especially from freshman Collin Crowl and seniors James Ortiz and Zak Cole,'' said Mr. Wilder. The girls tennis team encountered many obstacles. There were only a few girls who had ever held a racquet in their lifetime, and the girls varsity team had four girls who had never played. They didn't give up, but instead gave their time and dedication to learning the sport. They practiced daily and looked up to their coach, Mr. Pregon, who taught them how to become better tennis players. "When I first started tennis it was really hard to learn,'' said Alysha Teer. "But Mr. Pregon is a good coach and helped catch us up to the returning varsity players." Despite the fact that there were only three returning girls players, Mr. Pregon took the team he had and made it a great year. The girls tennis team had a very educational and fun season. They didn't let the factor of inexperience upset them; they played with what they had and helped everyone improve and enjoyed the season. 'The tennis team had a lot of good players and a lot of players who improved a great deal,'' said Mr. Pregon. This past year provided numerous experiences for both girls and boys tennis. Each team had many challenges but overcame them with teamwork and dedication. The coaches of the 2006-2DD7 tennis season will not be forgotten. Mr. Wilder led the boys to an 8 and 1 season and Mr. Pregon created a strong girls tennis team with mostly inexperienced players. Both teams went above and beyond to represent their school proudly.

Photo by Nicole Paulsen By J enni Morris Warmer weather, a dwindling school year and t houghts of summer: t hese are all things that come t o mind when students think of spring. Track and soccer seasons are also in full swing, and many summer sports are beginning practices. Golf, though often over-looked, also starts. Golf is played on a large outdoor course with a series of either nine or eighteen holes spaced far apart. The object of the game is t o hit the ball, using one of various clubs, into each hole using as few strokes as possible, or t o be under par. Par is the number of strokes considered necessary to complete each hole or course. This year, members of the AL golf team worked t ogether to reach both team and individual goals. However, there were many obstacles t hey had to overcome first. "It was hard this year," said Jonathan Wright . "A lot of our bett er players graduated last year." With older members leaving, the golf team saw a lot of new faces this year. 'There were a lot more freshmen this year t han there were last year," said Robert Billington. "It was kind of hard because there weren't as many upperclassmen to help them out." New members of the team felt that t he team was very close, and that older, more experienced players were a big help. 'This is my first year playing golf for school," said Sara Lipcamon. "A lot of the older players, like Lindsay Sorenson, helped me out a lot. She's always t here for people on the team and she helps us a lot." The teams practiced for two and a half hours every day, five days a week. But after all the long practices, many of the team members felt that they didn't receive enough support from the student body. "The bad t hing about golf is t hat no one really support s us," said Lipcamon. "No one shows up to t he meets, and no one really pays attention to it like they do for other sports." Even t hough the amount of spect ators is often times lower t han desired, the t eams turned out t o have a great season overall. K 11' I " ..J.rh )rd 2nLi )rd 2'1d :2nd Above.

Artistry is hard, but utterly satisfying. Marsha Joffe-Bouska, a well-known substitute teacher, can be caught working on her art during her time in the classroom. "I enjoy the actual doing of the art," said Bouska. "I find it very challenging and loved the studio experience." When students think of art, they usually think of paint ing and drawing, but there are many other creative qualifications to be a knowledgeable and creative artist. "I do many different types of art," said Bouska. "Mix M edia, paint, sculpture and drawing. Sculpture is probably my favorite because I can create something out of nothing." A passion for art is important, but so is willingness to sacrifice time. Creating art is time-consuming, but also an activity that lasts a lifetime. "I started getting into art after college and grad school," said Bouska. "That was in 1977 so I have been an artist for about 29 years." Art is a very personal and creative hobby. The ability t o express the inner-self with bits of color and attitude is one that many long to perfect. Bouska is one person who has started the journey to perfection.

Diagnosed with Ventricular Septal Defect, her biological family could not t ake care of her. At one point they were scared to even hold her, because they feared it would cause stress on her heart. Bob and Teri Regan adopted her, which brought her to Council Bluffs, Iowa. The Regan's were given photographs of two children. They immediately knew Emily was the child they want ed t o adopt. They had already adopted another girl and boy and had one biological son. Emily was the youngest of four siblings, Christian '03, Jessica '04 and Jeffrey '06. "I get special privileges because I'm the youngest," said Emily. "I get to do a lot of things my brothers and sister didn't when they were my age, like staying up later." Emily knows very little about her biological family. She often wonders if she has any biological siblings, or how her family is doing. When she gets older, she hopes to return to Vietnam to meet her family. She is grateful for the family that adopted her, yet she still wonders about her biological family. The privilege to meet them would be fascinating and something to look forward to in the futu re. 131 132 Alexander Thomas Kevin Thompson Kali Upton Emily Waugh Victoria Whitaker Perry Burkum Chelsea Varner Maggie Weber Marnesha White Cole Thurlow Kelly Vermuele ~ r,' , i8'1' . , ..1 .

Johnson Christopher Kafka Jessica Kealy Nathan Kelso Matthew Kenkel Joseph Kieffer Kourtney Krause Anthony Lamb Jody Lane 138 Zachary Jensen Victoria Jones Donald Keller Kyle Kephart Glen Kruse Emily Leber Ted Hennings Football player turned teacher U .S. History teacher, Ted Hennings, scored a successful football career. At age nine he started playing in a youth league, for his home town. He continued playing throughout high school at Mishawaka Marian High School in Mishawaka, Indiana. Before high school ended, he was recruited to play for Northern Illinois University. After college, he became a Free Agent. A Free Agent is a player who can pick whatever team they want to play for, and sign a contract with them. Hennings picked his favorite team, the Chicago Bears. "I picked the Bears because I had always wanted to play for the them," said Hennings. "They were my favorite team when I was younger." Hennings played pre-season for the Bears for a little under a year but, his career of professional ball did not stop with the Bears. Hennings was drafted for the Birmingham Fire, a World League American Football team. He played with the Birmingham Fire for two years. "I was excited to be drafted," said Hennings. " It was great that someone wanted me to play for them." Shortly after he played in the W orld League, he joined the Detroit Drive and the Dallas Texans, both Arena Football teams. During an Arena Football game, he broke his neck on a kick off play. Hennings had to have surgery. Doctors put a halo in his head, allowing Hennings to recover. Hennings was forced to retire, due to the injury, at age 25. He went back to school to get his teacher's license. Hennings played defensive tackle and offensive line for most of his career. Scoring a couple touchdowns and a few safeties highlighted his football career. Hennings most memorable game was when he accomplished his first sack against Cleveland in the NFL. Overall, he just loved playing and the strategy of the game. Hennings however, is disappointed with the way he ended his football career. "I miss playing it a lot," said Hen- ••rnings. "I did not end 1 the way I wanted. I would have much rather ended it on my own terms, then off of an injury."

Q: How many concerts have you attended? A: "Over 200." Q: Why do you enjoy going to concerts? A: "I enjoy it because it's always something different. The mall and movies get really boring. I also get to meet a lot of the bands, which makes it even more interesting. " Q: How much money have you spent on concerts? A: "I've probably spent a lot of money, but I don't really think about it. If I really want to see the band, then it's worth the money. I usually don't spend more than $75 on a concert though, including the t ickets." Q: Which concert has been your favorite so far? A: "My favorite was definitely H.l.M, because it's my favorite band. I waited three years to finally see them in concert." Q: Have you seen any artists multiple times? A: "I have seen a lot of bands more than once. They're mostly local bands, but I've also seen Senses Fail, Bleeding Through, and a few other big name bands multiple times. If I've seen an artist before, I usually go to their concert again to see the other bands that come with them." Q: Where do you usually attend concerts? A: "Mostly Sokol, but I've been to a few other places." Q: Is there a certain genre that you usually listen to in concert? A: "I listen t o all different kinds, but I mainly go to alternative and rock concert s." Q: Do you think attending concerts will be something you'll continue to enjoy, or something that you'll stop doing after high school? A: "I think I'll definitely continue going to concerts, even after raduation." 141 Shauna Rupp Kendra Salter Jason Scheffler Brady Schilousky Sterling Schneidewind Cody Schnepp Nicholas Schreck Joe Schulz Skyler Schweers Clayton Scott Palmer Scott Wyatt Seals Seth Shively Derrick Simonson Thayne Simonson Katelyn Slobodnik Megan Slyter Aaron Smith Justin Smoot Ashley Sprinkel Rebecca Stehly Colton Stogdill Carrie Stam Christina Stout Emily Stuart Chase Tanner Nathaniel Thallas Allison Thomas Ashley Thomas Tyler Thomas Anna Turner Matthew Unwin Megan Vallier Javin Villarreal Daniel Vorthmann Kyle Wambold 142 Megan Warneke Corbin Wells Jacob Westcott Morghan Wilcox Christopher Wi\\cuts Micheal Williams Monica Winslow Mikayla Worobec Dustin Wrich Stefani Zika Jordan Zimmerman Memory Loss?

He loves all kinds of video games, but football games - especially Madden 2007 - are his favorites. He participates in track and field events, goes bowling, and somehow finds time to go to the movies. He is the youngest of four children, and considers himself the same as everyone else in his junior class. Unlike most people, Dix is an active member of the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA]. At birth, Dix was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy, also known as MD. This means that, though his mind and spirit are as lively as anyone else, his body is confined in a motorized wheelchair. Q: How does it affect you, in your way of thinking about life? A: "I don't really think about it much. I just act like I'm like everyone else." Q: What kind of things are you involved in? A: "Special Olympics. I do bowling and track and field. I started about five or six years ago. I like to see movies, I play video games and I like to watch football." Q: How are you involved in the MDA? A: "I help raise money. My family hosts a gala at the MidAmerica Center - we have auctions and sell beads and bracelets. We have people talk; it's around March every year." 147 Mick Freeman Coaching Legend Coaching can be a hobby or a way of life. Most coaches participated in the sport or activity in their life at some point or grew up around it. While some coaches coached for the money, others coached because they loved it. Mick Freeman coached the ALHS boys cross country team for over 40 years. The runners got along with him and respected him. He spent time every summer preparing the runners for the upcoming fall season, and he donated time every day after school to make sure they worked hard and stuck together. Freeman was a true cross country coach. - - - --- - - - - - - - - - - - - - . - - - ~- - - - - - ~ - - . - - Brandon Klein Kristina Kline Ryan Klockner Alyssa Kness Dawn Knoble Ruth Knott Golda Knuth Ashley Kohrell Emily Kruse Kaleigha Lairmore Salana Lamkins Michael Larson Erin Leesley Madeline Lewis Geno Lewis Ill Stephanie Lingner Anthony Liston Kayla Mackland Tyler Mahood Amanda Malone Amanda Manifold Richard Mathiesen Tiffany Matuszeski Emily McCarthy 148 Q: How did you get started as a cross country coach? A: "I offered to help coach basketball and baseball because those are the two sports I did in high school, but I ended up a cross country chauffeur because basketball and baseball didn't need help and the cross country team needed someone to t ake them to the meets. I later ended up as the head coach." Q: Is coaching now any different than it was when you got started? A: "Yes, because in the old days I just planned out a run for the day and that's what we did. Now-a-days I have to work harder t o get the kids to run." Q: What do you love most about coaching cross country? A: "Working with the kids. It's satisfying to work with them and see them improve and succeed throughout the year. It's always nice to see team success as well." Q: What do you hope for the future? A: "I'd like to see our team move up another level. Many of the schools in the eastern side of t he state take cross country very seriously, and I'd like to see our team achieve a level comparable to t hose teams. I'd like our team to succeed as a whole instead of having just a few individuals." --- -~=-- ~ --~~ ..... -- ~ -- ~- - - ---- -- ----~-~-- -=- - - - ~ ·- - .

I can't really ever say that's true, I thought I learned the most about life in general and I realized most of it senior year. Life became full of suprises and struggles I never expected to fall upon. I'm sorry to say that most of the knowledge I consumed wasn't in books, educational movies or worksheets; they never seemed important but rather in life's punches. I didn't always consider all of those experiences something to smile about. Don't get the wrong idea though. Some memories I considered the best times of my life, and wouldn't take them back for anything. Either way, each person I met or hurdle I overcame, high school became the foundation of who I am today. Drama always seemed to fill every high school girl's mind. It consumed me and most of my friends. I found myself talking about people and gossiping and when it came to two friends fighting, I always got caught in the middle, or had to choose a side. My freshman, sophomore and junior year seemed to be action-packed with drama. Now that I think back to it, I don't remember much of who I fought with, or Rodney Cameron Almost every senior class s p e n d s most of its time somewhere else other than the present. The entire senior year consists of memories of the past and plans for t he future, anticipation of graduation and dread of growing up, nostalgia for childhood and fear of adult r esponsibilities. The Class of '07 is no differ ent. Kurt Vonnegut is my favorite writer. He has a book called "Slaughter House Five" in which the protagonist, Billy Pilgrim, finds that he can t ime travel. Not to scare anyone out t here reading this, but I identify with Billy Pilgrim because I, too, can timetravel. I have to in order to keep up wit h my senior students as they scurry through t ime right in front of my eyes. Billy Pilgrim would have been a terrific senior English teacher. For one t hing, I really have seen the future. I've seen it when former students have stopped me for speeding, stood over me in the dentist 's office, stuck me with needles in the doctor's office, picked up my trash on trash days, and sold me a new car. Be154 what I even fought about. What does that tell me? It doesn't matter in the end, it's extra baggage that isn't necessary and most of the time we make up and the friendships still exist. Of course an occasional loss of a friend happened, and when it did, I rolled with the punches until things blew over and got back to normal. I just realized that they never started out a friend in the first place. Sometimes I do agree that an argument lets everything out in the open so you both know how each other feels, and the problem usually gets resolved in the next five minutes. That really only happens if you both are mature enough to admit one or the other made a mistake. No matter the circumstance, I found it best to just keep my mouth shut and not care what was being said about whoever. During the beginning of my senior year, it hit me that all I really need to do is keep promises and secrets and just not gossip about people and it will cut down % the drama in my life. It's not an easy process, though; it takes time to teach yourself or catch yourself doing it to stop. With most girls, it comes naturally to start saying things about someone else or what you heard. Someone who can vouch for me on this, and I can thank for helping me realize how pointless and unnecessary it is, is Rachel Grandick. Thank you for all of that, and everything else in the past. I Jove you even more for that and I now realize how much more we are freakishly alike. To all my friends, family and teachers who taught me what it takes to be true to yourself and to live life for only the small things, thank you. I know this chapter's end only opens a new, wonderous beginning and I can't help but think about what the future holds. I anxiously await to make my mark in the world and do my own thing, my own way. The world offers so many experiences and cultures and I know what I want out of life. Senior year rolled around, and flew right by, just the way people told me. I'm not going to complain about all the stress it brought. Every senior knows what I mean when it comes to college and financing and the pressures of deciding the rest of your life all in a few months. It seemed crazy that graduation became tangible. I lived and learned, crashed and burned but friends kept my life vibrant and colorful. I don't regret any moment, for I gained a Jot of knowledge about life and what things and which people become the most important. As I finished up my last quarter of high school, I thought about the people who got left behind and forgotten about and the ones who travel on right beside you. No matter the path we all choose, we go astray into our own lives. We grasp reality and realize what life really means. Live for the day, enjoy the little things, for those are what matter in the end. Don't Jet drama and gossip be the most important detail in your daily life, and learn with every experience and step you take in life. This new chapter leads us in our own direction only to take what we learned. Make each day count more t han the last. Senior English Teacher's Thoughts on the Senior Class cause I've seen former students in their futures, I can also see current students in theirs. It's all the same, right? I find it helpful to imagine which students may someday be standing over me with a sharp object in their hands so I can be especially nice to them now. Yet, too, it is hard not to watch '07 in the hallways, their impatience with the clumps of students, annoyance at the immaturity of others, and fatigue at the general sense of "drama" that surrounds high school life- and be reminded of how far this class has come since it first moved into the English wing back in '03. There wer e days the decibel level between classes was somewhere between a Slipknot concert and shuttle launch. A lot of conversations among seniors start with "Remember when .. . " and end with lots of giggling, or crying. A lot of conversations between seniors and t eachers begin with "Don't forget ... " and end with another list of things to do. Somewhere in between, the present just gets squeezed out. The present is a shrouded sculpture; it is never fully uncovered except in the past and we must always be pulling the shroud away to r eveal its form . The Jives of seniors as t hey approach graduation are consumed with the uncovering of the present, t he finality of the past, and t he anticipation of the futur e. For t he class of '07 t he shroud has been pulled from realities of global warming, nuclear confrontation, and growing casualties in a brutal war. There were days I wanted to insist that students put down their iPods and address the shrouded present. I wanted to insist that they do something, say something, somehow respond to the pressing issues of the present rather than dwelling on their fading pasts or struggling to discern their dimly lit futures. But for them to do so may have been far too difficult. I used to think my generation had a monopoly on issues, but '07 and its peers are fa st superseding the "Boomers." The difference is that my generation is quite loud about its complaint and concerns. Jn 1968, the homecoming decoration placed on the door would likely have been a peace sign. But in 2007, seniors made a yellow construction paper sun with red, blue, and pink rays next to a blue construction paper sky with cotton ball clouds stuck to it. Some have asked me to keep the construction paper r eminder of them taped to my door even after they have graduated. I will. And as '07 travels through its future and I through mine, I wil l use the sun and the cloud as a time-travel portal. Even as future seniors walk in and out leaving fragments of their present behind, I will wonder if the '07 sun is still shining in someone's future. As Billy Pilgrim in Slaughter House Five would say: "So it goes."

I looked forward to this momen~ my whole high school career and now, it is time to reflect back on those years. They are filled with so many memories of school trips, homework, football games, work, friends, teachers and peers. Thank you to those of you who helped shape who I became. I know I couldn't have gotten this far alone. I learned from every mistake I made along the way. When I had a bad day or week, someone always offered a comforting shoulder. The support of my teachers, classmates, friends and parents helped me build the confidence to dream for something bigger. You helped me realize how much culture is outside this small Midwestern town and how much opportunity the world has to offer. Underclassmen, here is some advice I have learned through my experiences. Get a job. It teaches responsibility that will not only help you during high school, but for the rest of your life. Do not over-work yourself; you have the rest of your life to do that. Create a balance of your time. I start ed working at Pizza Counter my freshman year and I learned so much from my co-workers. I held this job throughout high school and balanced employment with mock trial, sports, journalism and many other activities. Make mistakes. Learn from them so you do not make the same ones in the future. I had my fair share of groundings and punishments and I learned from most of them. Get in trouble at least once, just make sure it's wit h your parents and not the cops; your record stays clean this way. Read. This is something I wish I had done a lot sooner. I did not start until the summer before my senior year. Read a few classics. Unbelievably, many of them still share a little relevance in today's society. This expands your knowledge of the world around you and helps you realize that there is a world much greater than what you know now. Don't worry about what others think of you. I cared way too much about this and I think I learned the hard way. People will talk behind your back no matter what, but let it go. If you take it to heart, you will change a little bit of yourself to please someone else. Soon, you will wonder how you changed and why you are that person. Then you will look back and see how every little change alt ered a small part of who you were. Play. I remember all the snow days I spent out sledding with friends, the sports games I cheered at and played in, the journalism work nights, late nights studying, DECA trips, mock trial trips (maybe someday we'll see those molecules explode). I remember all the movie nights and summer nights just sitting under the stars talking with my close friends for hours, bonfires on cool evenings, all the money I spent on ice cream with Jenna. Looking back through my four years at AL, sophomore year was my favorite. I joined several organizations, kept busy with school, work and had plenty of time to hang out with friends. I loved the summer of 2005 and learned so much from it. I experienced the freedom of driving with the windows down singing to the radio. I had my first real boyfriend and felt the poignancy of my emotions along with that experience. I spent a lot of time with my very best friends before they moved off to college in the fall. I think I was pretty self-assur ed when I walked t hrough the double doors in front of AL for the first time. I knew what I wanted out of life and how to define myself. At least, I thought I did. High school flew by and I was so anxious t o take t hose final steps across the stage for a handshake and a diploma. However, I was so focused on that moment I missed out on some opportunities during t hose four years that passed so quickly. Cherish t he moments and don't let the stress get to you. Life seems overwhelming at times; accept support from t hose around you. Stay true to yourself and success will follow. Thank you t o Jim Cunningham, Bryan Pregon, Marsha Grandick, Gretchen Baijnaut h and Randi Kennedy for your support throughout t he years. To t he rest of you, good luck in the future and make the most of each experience t hat comes your way. 157 Senior Editorial Emily Prugh Copy Editor I spent three years looking up to the upperclassmen. Seniors astounded me with their height, amazed me by their talent in theatre, and awed me by their composure in heading off to college. They were larger t han life, these untouchable titans striding through the hallways of teenage education. But when I became a senior, there were no longer any older examples to follow. I became the upperclassman. I became that "untouchable t itan''. I became the example others would follow, whether I want ed to lead or not. It t ook me t hree year s t o realize why the eldest of high school student s seemed so confident. By the t ime they claimed t hat title of Senior, they already spent three Jong years in the shadow of older. more illustrious students, t hree years goofing off and procrastinating and being teenagers. They spent t hree years w,aiting around for their t ime t o finally astound. t o amaze, to awe. So when t hey are faced with impending adulthood, faced with an independent life, t hey look forward t o the challenge of living t heir own life, on their own terms. I spent my three year s as an underclassman spinning in a whirlwind of activity, of being caught up in everything I could possibly squeeze into my crowded schedule. When I first moved to Council Bluffs in seventh grade. my teachers and parents told me to "get involved", and I took their advice to heart during high school. These were t hree year s of not sleeping because I was too occupied with the musicals, speech competitions. National Honor Society, yearbook, newspaper, show choir, all pursuits that would look good on transcripts and scholarship applications while allowing me to have fun. So many friends to meet. so many debuts to make, so many giants to slay, and all in so little time! But after three year s of this break-neck speed, I became aware of the costs of my express lane life. There was so much adrenaline surging through my body t hat, ironically, I was t ired all t he t ime - and if not physically, then always in spirit. My mind was numb and t oughened by the high tension of the high school atmosphere. I didn't know my friends anymore because I never took time to get t o know who they were growing up t o be. Academics always came easily to me, so I never studied, assuming I would learn it quickly anyway; it didn't wor k like t hat, though. My grades slipped far below my previous standards. but I was far too busy to notice or car e. By the end of t hose t hree years. I was beyond burnt-out. Then senior year began and I knew I was in trouble. I never could understand how senior s could possibly feel prepared for life alone, with no parents pushing t hem to be on t ime, no t eachers nagging t hem to get homewor k finished. How could upperclassmen be so motivat ed and r esponsible, when I couldn't even arrive to school on time? I became rest less and uneasy. If this was what responsibility and maturity felt like, I wanted none of it. All t his happened during my fourth and final year of high school, when I was supposed to magically t urn into t his divinely confident and responsible model student. Graduation seemed oh-so-far away, but was sneaking up quicker t han I liked. But everything changed senior year, as everything does. Sometime around January, I started to feel settled, more grounded. Through a variety of circumstances, I was no longer involved in the massive catalog of activities like usual - for once, I took t ime out to rest and to be with my friends. It took me a long time to come oft my t hree-year adrenaline high and to get my life in balance ... but when I did, t hings started coming together. It felt good to be a senior. By the very end of my last year, I finally under stood how seniors could be prepared. After all t he highs and lows t hey go through during high school, they are ready to start fresh. And after all I went t hrough during my three years, I was ready to graduate now, too. I was ready to take hold of adult hood and astound the world, amaze it with my potential, and leave it in awe of what one person could do. 158 Marcus Fetch Scott Fleming Sara Fox Katie Gilbert Jarred Gillenwater Rachel Grandick Lynn Green Natasha Grimm Amparo Gutierrez Kurtis Hallagan Lauren Hardick Erik Hartman Amber Hathaway Robert Hermsen Nichole Hester Jamie Hibbard Jonathan Hilz Sarah Hilz Shaun Hogueison Amy Hollins Lindsey Holmes Jordan Hopper Logan Hudspeth Joshua Hug Andrew Hultgren Ami Hummel John Hunter Joshua Huntoon Casey Hutchison Kody Irwin 159 160 Senior Editorial Elizabeth Ortiz Photo Editor Sara James Tyler Jensen Timothy Johnson Caleb Johnston Clayton Juhl Scott Kaiser Some find their passion in music, drama, athletics or art throughout high school. My passion happened to fall in the athletics category; however, I developed this passion way back in third grade. This activity was swimming. It was what I LOVED to do! Some might think swimming is recreational, but through my experiences I learned more than just having fun. Competitive swimming taught me so much about perseverance, friendship, leadership and determination. We can all use these four qualities and learn from them in life. After my first high school swim practice, I wanted to quit. Before practice started, I thought I was decent at swimming. My coach critiqued every little thing about each of my strokes and I went home in tears. My parents told me to give him and swimming another chance. Even though I desperately wanted to quit, I took their advice. I'm so glad I did. My freshman year I learned the value of perseverance and how you never know where it will take you. Getting involved in an activity is a great chance to meet new people. I met and later became best friends with Zooey (a foreign exchange student) during my sophomore year. Zooey was an amazing swimmer and she pushed me beyond my limits as Ryan Johnson Tara Johnson Cole Johnston Tracy Jones Sarah Kejick Samuel Kelley a swimmer. She broke school records and competed at State. This gave me hope for the future. As the season went on our friendship grew stronger. We did everything together that year. When she left in June to return home to Slovakia we were in tears. We stayed in close contact through email and instant messaging for the next year. My sophomore year I learned the value of friendship and how you can get to know someone so well though you are so different. Being upperclassmen, we get to be the role models to underclassmen. With many girls not coming back out for swimming and others not taking it seriously, it was time for me to step up. I had to be an example for the girls and show them my dedication to this sport. I encouraged the girls to keep working hard. My junior year I learned the value of leadership. I became a positive leader though there was disappointment. Throughout high school, all I wanted to do was go to State in swimming. Senior year was my last chance. I worked hard my past three years swimming 24/ 7 in season and off. I made personal goals to break the school record in breaststroke and to compete in State. There were people who didn't think I could do it. That made me even more determined. At our first dual meet, Jessica Kellner Courtney Kelly Kimberly Kjeldgaard Matthew Klimek Miranda Krueger Lindsey Larsen I broke the school record in the 100-yard breaststroke. There was one off my checklist. The next step was to keep working hard and eating healthier. I lifted every other night and pushed myself during practice. It all came down to the district meet. I stepped on the blocks full of confidence. Even with a late start off the blocks and behind the first half of the race, I pulled through to finish third with my best time ever in the 100 breaststroke. I did it. I made it to State! My high school goal became more than a dream that day! My senior year I learned the value of determination. If I had quit my freshman year, I would not have known where swimming would take me. Swimming is so much more than a sport. It is my passion! Our team did not receive as much support as other sports and I hope that in the future swimming will be supported more than it is today. Swimming has taught me a lot about perseverance, friendship, leadership and determination. I hope you are able to use these four qualities in your future. So never give up and push towards your dreams, and you will be on your way to success, whatever that entails.

We learned how to write an essay in 20 minutes on the morning of the due date. We learned how to maneuver in the parking lot without any fender benders. We learned how to eat lunch in 10 minutes after we waited in a huge line for pizza and hamburgers, again. All of these experiences were learned through our four years of being excited, overwhelmed, and frightened during high school. Freshman year was all about new experiences, and overcoming the fears of high school. I remember being terrified of the upperclassmen. Were the seniors going to shove me in a locker? Or were they going to book check me? Quickly, our freshmen class learned that the upperclassmen r emember ed what it was like to be in our position. Sure, our class got our fair share of teasing, but overall, the upperclassmen were harmless. Another fear was getting lost. High school seemed huge; there wer e so many different hallways! I was alm ost posit ive that I Alex McKeighan Joel McMaken Alyssa Meyerring Shaye Mihalenko Sarah Milner Katherine Moehle would never get to my classes on time. However, all of the t eachers were really helpful, even including Mr. Pregon, wh o would jokingly yell at the freshmen, "You're late!" or "Get to class!" on the first day of school. After freshman year, our Sophomore and Junior years came - we were finally upperclassmen! These were the years when we got the most involved in school, when we were given the most homework, when we needed to start preparing for college, when we got our first jobs, and most importantly, when we received our driver's licenses. I remember being so busy with activities and work, and on top of it all, we had to read books like 'The Great Gatsby" for Mrs. Swanigan's English class. On the bright side, we finally had the fr eedom to go where we wanted to, and when we wanted t o when we received our first car. We no longer had to wait for our parents to pick us up from school. However, for many of us, these were the years when we experienced our first car wreck, or our first ticket. Seeing t he flashing lights of a police car behind you is probably one of the sca riest sit uations. Anthony Meeker Heather Mesenbrink Nikki Milder Jordan Miller Zachary Moss Tanner Munson Finally, the class of '07 became seniors, a time full of lasts and full of memorable experiences. It was our last chance to cheer on the football team in the student section. Remember those warm chocolate chip cookies that were sold, or remember how crazy The Replacements got at Friday night games? It was our last chance t o attend a high school dance, too. Remember checking out everyone's dress, or your parents taking pictures for an hour before the dance? As senior s, we also experienced fi ll ing out an endless pile of scholarship applicat ions when we will be lucky if we get awarded a single one. Our class has been through a lot t ogether in the past four years. Remember fight ing with your parents over your curfew, or your first awkward kiss? We learned about different relationships with our fam ily, friends, and significant others. We learned how to list en and underst and others. We learned t hat t his is just t he beginning of our lives. 163 Caroline Murphy Claire Murphy Brennan Murray Bud Mutum Betty Nguyen Jenna Nikkel Jerad Nobiling Christopher Noonen Kylie Norman Richard Nowlin 164 Senior Editorial Claire Murphy Business Manager U pan the time that most of us entered high school, we began to create some sort of standard upon which we planned to live our lives by for the next four years. We promised to r efrain from participating in activities that might have threatened our morals, to work hard to get straight A's, and to stay true to the person we thought we were. But the truth is, it's hard to know exactly who you are unt il you've gone through the bulk of the high school experience. It's only now, as I am a high school graduate, I understand what high school really was. High school was just one big test. However, this test was harder than any other test I had to take, because there wasn't always a right or wrong answer to choose. For me, high school was a t est of character, t olerance, and self-esteem , and what I have personally taken away from it had a little, but not a lot, to do with math or English. The first couple years at AL seemed to fly by. We were still so young and untainted by school society, and it was beautiful. But in other ways, we were still in the stage that we cared so much about what others thought. It was stupid, really. I am t hankful for the day that I woke up and thought to myself, "Hey, no one cares. Stop trying so hard!" I wouldn't say that I have lost all of my insecurities, but my first two years of high school helped m e to discard a few of them. I will always remember the summer of 2005 as one of the best times in my entire life. I was sixteen years young, and freedom was on my key ring. In July, I met my best friend, and the first person that I ever loved. No matter what I say about him now, he changed me and altered my opinions on things for the rest of the time that I would be in high school, and I will always love him for that. As junior year began, it was the first time that I actually felt as if I was getting older. I got my first job. Homework came more often and in bigger amounts. I was in a relationship with a great person, but our differences quickly appeared, and we would eventually separate a year later. I will be t he first to admit that I lost myself more than once. Starting to grow up was scary as hell, because my own name that I thought I knew so well lacked a real definition. I can distinctly remember sitting myself down and thinking, "What happened to me?" I had a love-hat e relationship with myself. I wanted to be proud of myself, but I had no clue who I was. Now I graduated and I write my final thoughts. Reality can be a funny thing in high school. It has a way of sneaking up on you and finding you at what seems to be your most vulner able moments; perhaps when you are in denial. Somewhere in between the crying and blurry vision, it hits you, and suddenly all you have left is a blunt realization staring you in the face. And while you can't always be sure that t his will serve as a comfort or just make you more upset, one fact is known: reality isn't something you can just t urn away from. It's just one big staring contest, and it will always win. That's what high school was for me; a reality check. It was about finding myself, and being proud of what I might be able to offer in the futur e. Because of high school's test, it is safe to say that I know exactly who I am. I am not perfect, and that's okay with me. I have fought many battles, most of t hem with myself, and because of t hem, I am strong enough now to say that I didn't win them all. However, I have friends that love me, a good head on my shoulder s, and memories to last a lifetime. Thank you to my dear friends, supportive family, and my amazing teachers. To my dance teachers, Kerri Jo W atts and M indi Richardson, I can never thank you enough for what you have given me through dance. High school is what you make of it, so look it in the face, and embrace the challenge. Senior Editorial Caroline Murphy Business Manager I f there's one t hing I have learned t hus far, it's that high school is not for the faint of heart. As I walked through the doors of Abraham Lincoln High School as an official student for the first time, I had no clue what to think. I didn't know where I was going, or for that matter, where I'd end up. I walked t hrough the halls, armed with a posse of similarly dressed dance team members. and gawked at the people who would shape us. I was certain I needed to make a name for myself. That idea didn't last long. Thankfully, I came to the understanding I didn't need to be liked by everyone, and I didn't need anyone else to tell me who I was or wasn't going to be. I was stuck in a mindset that I would be in high school forever, frozen in some sort of time continuum. Now that I think back, I was so caught up in it all I filled my schedule full of extra activities to keep busy. I developed a name for myself, and tried to stay true to it as much as I could. I kind of want to say "W ell t hat didn't happen" but J really can't. Taking everything that's happened I really haven't changed much. J would still pick Taco Bell over a $30 steak, I still want to marry Leonardo DiCaprio because of the movie "Titanic." I'm still horrible at math (but slightly improving thanks to the semester of Geometry I took my senior year) and still claim that peer pressure is a ridiculous concept for weakness and doesn't exist. I've prided myself for the longest time on knowing which way was up and knowing my right from wrong. I've never had a problem with saying no to things that may compromise my character. But the biggest t est for me came when it was truly time to step out of my comfort zone. I'd spent my whole life being comfortable, and this was my time t o branch out. And then, I was a senior. All eyes were on the calendar now. The days piled up, and ·decisions were to be made. I planned on being totally different, but what happened was a complete surprise. In a blink of an eye, I was finished, and would soon not need to return to Abraham Lincoln High School again. Four years had passed me by, and it was over before I could notice. I realized that I would never look at this place in the same way; now. it would just be a memory and above all, a loyal friend who had always been there for me. It is a struggle; a constant battle between who you want to be and who you really are. However, if you let it, high school could be t he best time of your life. If you are driven and surround yourself with people who love you, you will succeed. For being t here, I'd like to thank my three talented, intelligent and beautiful sisters for guiding me thus far, and for being the most positive people in my life. To t he art of dancing in general, thank you for being my release, never breaking my heart, and for being my one and only true love. And to all the amazing people I've known and have influenced me, I am grateful; my parents, for loving m e unconditionally, Kerri W atts, for giving me the opportunity to dance and exercise my passion for it, Nikki M ilder, an awesome best friend and made me laugh when I didn't want to, and Chad Belt for being my best friend always. I am truly blessed t o have known and learned from you all. I've cr ossed the biggest bridge of my life so far, and continue to walk ahead. I will never forget the t imes I had here at Abraham Lincoln, and will value them forever. Remember to love the t ime you have here; love your friends, be kind to your enemies and rise above the influence. Fight for things you are passionate about, because in the end, it's the decision to fight that makes you honorable. And above all, know yourself, trust yourself and be yourself because t here's no point changing for ot hers. It's time to move on, even if I am not yet ready to leave it all behind. I'm so eager to see how my life will play out and to see the role high school has played in it. Rachel Ogborn Elizabeth Ortiz James Ortiz Christopher Ott Crystal Owens Amanda Page Matthew Peters Cory Peterson Matthew Pierce Brooke Porter 165 Senior Editorial W hen I think about my time in high school, it flows like a slide show. I see moments at football games, taking pict ures for yearbook or newspaper. I see images of Caitlin Evers and I at basketball games and our run-ins with the other team. I remember times at Jennie Ed spent volunteering with the Sara(h)s, Stefanie Buhrman and my little sister. I see times spent in basements watching TV and those spent out late at night. I see formals and dances where my friends and I left to play barefoot bowling at Thunder Bowl. All of these images come together and the song I hear playing is "Here's To The Nights" by Eve 6. So denied so I lied are you the now or never kind In a day and a day love I'm gonna be gone for good again Are you willing to be had are you cool with just tonight Here's a toast to all those who hear me all too well These are t he times when I looked forward to growing up. When I sat in class and thought about how great it will be once I am gone. I thought about how it will be so amazing t o be without parents, without rules and living for myself. These are the times Amber Pospisil Allison Prideaux Nicholas Raether Tara Rains 166 Caitlin Lombardo Photographer when my friends and I reminisce about moments that were and toast to the times to come. Here's to the nights I felt alive Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry Here's to goodbye Tomorrow's gonna come too soon These are the t imes when I realize that when I leave Abraham Lincoln and Council Bluffs behind, I am leaving a part of myself. When I gr ow up and move on, I hope to leave an impact on those I leave behind. I realize I am going to miss the friends who will not be continuing on the same road. I make promises to stay in touch and to never forget each of them. All my time is froze in motion Can't I stay an hour or two or more Don't let me let you go Here's a toast to all those who hear me all too well I have graduated now. I linger in the living rooms and on the back porches of friends. I do not want to say goodbye to the school year. It means it is the end. Not the end of our lives, simply the end of a chapter. We all must learn to move on to this mat ure chapter. Ending high school is not for the faint of heart, it's a hard choice and some have not made it through. So on graduation day, shake the hand and pat the back of the person next you. You have accomplished one of the greatest feats known to man. You have graduated. We must learn to do our own laundry, keep our houses and r ooms clean and keep track of our own socks. Mom will not be there to do our chores during college.

Just yesterday I was a freshman stuck in an hour and half long Intro to Social Studies class. Now I am senior on the verge of graduation. But as my future stares me right in the face, I continually find myself looking back to the past. High school was everything I hoped it would be and more: new friends, new interests, new maturity, and a whole new life. Looking back on myself as a freshman I see a completely different person. I see a dazed little boy, awe-struck by the high school life. He deemed himself unworthy of this school and all its majesty. I mean, come on! He was att ending a school where his classmates had beards! Facial hair?! Crazy! He didn't belong here. No sir. But alas, he talked to these hairy barbarians and he realized they were no different then he. Just older, sweeter, and hairier. As time passed, he befriended many a stranger, only few being upper classmen, but he made new friends none the less. He joined new act ivities, attended school games, and even painted his face for the AlTJ game, all the while trying to find his place in the school. Freshman year came and went without much ado. He returned a sophomore and was visibly upset about the casualty that had taken place t he preceding summer. Block-scheduling, we knew ye well. Well, kind of. Sophomore year brought with her the cold, hard maiden that is an 8-period day. Now being a sophomore, this slightly more experienced and mature lad was happy not to be at the bottom of the foodchain. He was happy that he knew the r opes, for the most part. He knew his way around school, he had his group of friends, and he was buddies with some of t he teacher s. He felt good! It was starting to feel mor e like home. But as sophomore year came, it went. He returned to school a junior. A glorious junior! He was r eally starting to feel that sense of ownership. He was an upperclassman who knew everything there is t o know about anything ever. The only t hing cooler than him were t hose seniors, but he was still pr etty darn close t o the top of t he aforem en168 Kyle Suder Alysha Thurlow Tara Turner Stacy Underwood Zak Cole People Editor tioned food-chain. Now, this strapping young lad had grown, and grown in more ways than one. He was now fully enveloped in his activities, taking over leadership roles. He was working, when time allowed, at his job. He had taken a new lady into his life over the course of the summer. His classes were all in preparation for his senior year, which in turn would be preparation for college, which, as it were, is preparation for life. Boy was he growing up fast! Senior Year! Holla at ya boy big pimpin! This is what high school is all about! This manly man was finally at the top of the food-chain! And it felt good! He embodied everything that was awesome! He got all t he sweet privileges the underclassmen wish they had. Senior movie day, uhh ... senior Abe passes .... general greatness ... all that good stuff. But in this shining spot of his life, he thinks only of the future. Scholarship applications, picking a school, organizing graduation parties, etc, fills his senior year, along with everything else he has going: the activities, the school work, the friends, the ball and chain, the job. In this blur, his senior year is over just as fast as it came. And now here I am, on the brink of graduation. That little boy grew up so fast. And he is not done growing, for he has only just begun. This is just the beginning of the adventure to come. I am going to miss high school and all the amazing times I had at AL. But I am just thankful for it all. It turned that little rosy cheeked boy into a m an. A very manly m an, I might add.

Decorating the school with red, white and blue streamers, dressing like cowboys and stuffing thousands of napkins into the chicken wire bodies of floats comprised the six strength-sapping days of Homecoming.

Although many students found themselves making preparations at the last minute, most felt Homecoming '78 was a success, except for a disappointing game. Even floats prepared at the last minute were creative. The first prize float, designed by the Junior Class, featured a Lynx chef constructed of chicken wire, and stuffed with paper napkins, barbecuing a skewered rabbit over hot coals. Another recipe for fresh rabbit meat was offered by a Tasmanian Devil, who concocted a tasty rabbit stew. The National Honor Society didn't want to bother with recipes.

Most students agreed that along with floats, the dance was better than past years'. "It was the best Homecoming Dance I've been to," said Dana Butler 79. The band's driving beat encouraged everyone to get out on the floor. "I thought the group Phoenix was really good," said Elise Ericksen '79. "They really made people want to dance." The week before Homecoming, Student Council members tried to generate excitement by decorating the halls and student lounge with streamers and balloons, and cheerlea€1ers sponsored spirit days, with a different outfit for each day. The most popular was "Country Day," with everything from cowboy hats to boots and spurs westernizing students. Spirits were high, with everyone confident the Lynx could pull out a Homecoming victory. But hopes were smashed as AL fell to Benson 20-14. The brightest spot in the game was at half time, when the letters T-A-M-1 were lit up to announce Tami Hughes as Homecoming queen. laughter and good spirits abound as Lori Farrell clowns around at the Homecoming game.

Suddenly the lights brightened-the house had landed in Oz. Children and adults alike wondered what other spectacular events were in store for them after this early tornado scene in "The Wizard of Oz," presented Nov. 8 through 11. Because of the fairytale plot of "The Wizard," many extraordinary events had to be created on stage through special effects and exact timing. "I think our biggest problem was figuring out the special effects," said direc tor Jim Mimick. A hot air balloon that was supposed to lift Dorothy and the Wizard finally had to be left on stage because there was no way to raise it. But in other scenes, the crew was able to create effects so startling that children screamed out. Witches, for example, appeared in puffs of smoke and the Wizard's voice reverberated so loudly that it resembled thunder. Props and scenery also took much time to ' create. The stage crew spent approximately 200 hours painting and designing props. The yellow brick road alone took nearly two weeks to complete. Because a younger audience was expected, Keeping a steady hand, Pam Acklie carefully makes up Kerry Mortensen as the cowardly lion. (ABOVE) The magic of jitterbugs M ichelle Petry, Paula Ryan and Jill Searcy captivates scarecrow John Burke, who can't stop dancing. (RIGHT) 12 musical costumes had to be designed to hold their attention. To give them a short, round appearance, munchkins sat on skateboards with cardboard under their satiny gowns. Two hundred yards of material were used on the munchkins' costumes alone. Make-up was as challenging as costumes, according to Pam Acklie '80, make-up chairman. "The lion was the most difficult character," Acklie said, "because he was a mixture of fantasy and reality, which had to be evident in his make-up." The hours put into "The Wizard" were rewarded with letters filled with praise from Longfellow third graders. One child said his favorite part was the shrinking of the witch. Another complimented Cheri Parramore '80: "I thought Dorothy was wonderful and she sings well, too." One little boy wrote, "If I was the teacher, I'd give everyone in the play a prize." Older students also enjoyed the play. Many of them left the auditorium saying, "I thought it would be dumb, but it turned out great." "The wicked witch was super," said Linda Winey '79. "She sounded just like the one in the movie." • "The Wizard of Oz" created a fantasy world both big and little kids loved.

Such was the recipe for Christmas Dance Dec. 9. Weeks before the dance, girls nervously prepared to ask that special someone. Although a few were too shy, most had the courage to ask their dates. Girls thought switching roles for the night helped break the old tradition. "I like asking the guy to the dance," said Patty Ryerson '79. "It gives you a chance to ask who you want." Most boys agreed the change was welcome. "It feels different being asked by a girl," said Neal Hakenson '80, "but it takes the pressure off the guy.'; After the nervous anticipation of asking and waiting to be asked, couples were expecting an eventful evening. It started when they arrived to find a winter Sharing an amusing moment, Jamie McKern and Dave Preucil chuckle while they dance.

(BELOW) wonderland of big, white snowflakes, crepe-papered ceilings, silver stars and glistening lights. Couples danced to everything from disco music to slow, romantic songs played by Sweetfield. The floor was constantly crowded, as couples changed partners, dancing with friends. "The dance was more fun this year when everybody danced with more than one person," said Judy McNeal '80. Many couples completed the evening with a meal at one of Omaha's best restaurants. Two of the most popular spots took them hundred of years back into history. Brother Sebastians resembled a medieval monastery complete with library and wine cellar. The Drawbridge simulated a medieval castle. Real suits of armor added to the atmosphere. "The Draw - bridge was really different," said Traci Hughes '80. "They even had pages for waiters." Stuffed and tired, couples ended the evening filled with memories of the night they had shared. christmas dance 15 Crepe paper cobwebs, spiders, and witches hung from the gym's ceiling as students imitated John Travolta's disco dancing at the Halloween Dance sponsored by the Senior Class. The Oct. 28 dance featured Raven, which included Terry Hempel 79, and Tim Williams 79. "The band was terrific," said Suzy Winey '81. The number of students attending the dance doubled to about 60 after 10 o'clock, when party goers began arriving. Some teachers and students were disappointed by the lack of attendance. "I paid $1.50 to get in and left after half an hour because nobody was there," said Carmen Eggers '81. "Students don't enjoy school activities anymore," said chaperone Vonnie Tangeman, industrial arts instructor. "When I was in school, everyone in the school went to the dances." Of the few students who attended, most felt it was a success. Some said it was the best dance they'd ever gone to at AL. John Travolta imitators and their dates cr-azy formed a line and made up their own dance. "We twirled the girls in the air," said Cory Harter 79. "It was really fun. It was crazy!" "Everybody was dancing and getting crazy," said Tim Storey '79. "People weren't wearing suits, so it was easier to dance, and they weren't afraid to make fools of themselves." Other students waited until the following Tuesday to celebrate Halloween. One group gave a surprise birthday-Halloween party for Toni DiBlasi '80. Cookie monsters, tigers, hobos, and Dolly Parton greeted the surprised DiBlasi. Everyone chipped in for dinner, and then watched DiBlasi hunt for hidden birthday presents. Other Halloween events included a toga party for the Swing Choir held in the auditorium. Members practiced c~oreography, then had refreshments and danced. Togas varied from floor length to very short. Some members wore laurel wreaths. "There were quite a few laughs about the togas," said Colleen Lyon 79. Halloween gave students a chance to loosen up, relax, and take off their masks. Raven's steady beat invites dancers to let loose and enjoy the music.

The old lady was the main character in a scene which showed her begging, screaming and literally tearing her hair out, trying to get money from a frustrated and irritated banker, played by Jeff Baker '79. The scene was from "A Defenseless Creature," one of ten vignettes in Neil Simon's "The Good Doctor," presented in a matinee March 8, and in evening performances March 9 and 10. The main character was a writer, played by Larry Kisby '80, who created and narrated stories w hich were enacted by characters on the stage. Many actors said they felt the matinee audience didn't appreciate the play's sophisti cated humor. Rude remarks were ca lled out by students, and the noise level grew so loud that director Jim Mimick had to yell out for the ilUdience to be quiet. "I'd just as soon not perform if they're going to act like that," said Anne Kenny '80, who played in two vignettes. Many students just weren't listening, according to Mimick. "The audience talked during the narration which explained the story," Mimick said. " They never settled down." Some actors felt playing to a bad audience was a good experience for them. "If you're really into the character, you can tune out the audience," said Baker. Audiences began to appreciate the play towards the middle, after they quieted down. "The audience was exceptionally rude towards the beginning," said Kisby, "but I think the kids really enjoyed later parts of the play." A favorite scene was "The Arrangement," in which a father was giving his son a prostitute for his birthday. The audience roared when the father changed his mind, saying "Why don't you wait and grow up next year, son?" school play 19 ( At a m()ment~§ n()tice ,, Lynn and Carrie, we need a skit to go on for "My Man." Can you think of anything?" . "You're crazy!" "C'mon, you have half an hour . .. Hey, know, why don't you use your friends, Bob and Bill Murphy, the twins from Lewis, Iowa? They're here tonight!" "Okay, what kind of skit?" "Something to do with twins. You'll think of something." This scene took place backstage at a performance of Roadshow '79. The skit they finally thought of was about two bored girls on a Saturday night who call a double dating service. They ask for two macho men but end up with the moronic twins. Drama students found they had to improvise many skits to fill in gaps in the show. Organizations were asked to participate in the show, but only the cheerleaders contributed. Because the auditorium was booked for every night except April 7, 9, and 11, the show was literally thrown together in two weeks. Tryouts were two days after the last performance of the school play, which didn't give students adequate time. "This year Roadshow came so fast, no one was prepared," said Anne Kenny '80. With only two weeks to get ready, the cast was plagued with one problem after another. Paper flowers used for the set disappeared, so more had to be made the day before the show. There were only four rehearsals. "We defiThank God I'm a country boy. Pi ckin ' and a grinnin', Matt Mahan, Scott Hunter and Randy Utterback create a country atmosphere as they play a bluegrass tune. (ABOVE) " Oh, my man, I love him so!" Diane Larsen belts to· her unwilling lover, Joni Perry . (RIGHT) 20 roadshow nitely needed more rehearsals," said Connie Sutherland '80. "Some acts could have been more polished, and all together the show would've been smoother." Most acts were forced to prepare individually. "Almost all the acts worked on their own time," said Pam Acklie '80, "which helped tremendously." But individual practices didn't always go smoothly. "Our group could never get together," said Patty Thorn '80. "We'd have practices and only three or four people would show up." Set construction also lacked the preparation needed. "We really needed longer to build the sets," said Jeff Baker '7.9. "We had to use old sets and props instead of building what we needed." But many students felt the show came off a success. "I really enjoyed it. There was a balance of music, comedy, and dance," said Mark Miner '79. The favorite overall act was "The Raven " composed by DaVal Johnson. It was an eeri~ haunting ballad performed by a group clad i~ robes. The lyrics resembled the poem "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe, with the line "Quoth the raven, nevermore," repeated throughout. "I could listen fo the Raven all night," said Dave Parramore '79. Overall, students never would have guessed the show was thrown together at such short notice.

Although the dance was held at Carter Lake's W arehouse Ballroom, some students hooted and hollered, stomped and pounded on tables during the crowning ceremonies as if they were back at the A L gym. " Almost everyone was having a good time and getting row dy," said Mary Harrison '80. Seniors said they got rowdy because they knew it was their last dance. " It was sad realizing this was my last Pro m," said Dana Butler 79. " But since it was, I really made the most of it .11 For many students, Pro m was the only night in the school year they could really dress up, so they went all-out. " I spent over a hundred dollars all together," said Lanny Dingman '79. " I figured it was my last year, so why not go all the way!" Prom costs were high fo r many students, especially boys. In a random survey of 50 students, the majority of boys said they spent anywhere from $80 to $1 00, while girls spent a little less, about $60 to $80. Expenses for boys included tu xedos, flowers, dinner, tickets, pictures and, for some, rented cars. Girls didn't have as many expenses, w ith the minimum of a dress and flowers to buy. But even though they dug deep into their pockets, students found Prom w as w orth the money. "I thought it was great the way everybody dressed up," said Jim Pillar '80.

The Class of '29 was here to hold its fiftieth reunion and help send off the Class of '79. Four-hundred and twenty-two anxious seniors listened as retired attorney W illiam Wolfe '29, spoke to them in his comm encement address about setting goals. Wolfe ta lked about the past 50 years-from radio to television, to airplanes, to supersonic jets, to the moon. "It's been a wonderful age," he sa id. He urged the Class of '79 to solve the problems of energy, nuclear power, and war. " Let's make the next 50 years something to be proud 24 graduation of," he said. Before commencement, the Class of '29 held their reunion with the help of the Class of '79. Thirty-five seniors helped provide a tour of the building, a luncheon in the cafeteria, and musical entertainment following the silent movie in the auditorium. The biggest event of the reunion was the establishment of a '29-79 scholarship. When Virginia Kreuger, Class of '29 committee chairman and Lucile H?ffman, Senior Class sponsor: thought of the rdea, they were afraid the seniors wouldn't go for it. But as soon as they heard about it, the Class of '79 thought it was a great idea and contributed $1000 to get it started. At commencement time, the scholarship total had reached over $5300. The enthusiasm of the elder class rubbed off on some '79ers. " I hope our class can have a reunion like this in 50 years. It's so neat to see these people having so much fun while helping other people," said Barb Brandon '79. "Graduates, you must set a goal," commencement speaker William Wolfe tells seniors.

Excitement mounted in the community as the week drew closer. After it was over, the Nonpareil declared it a "tremendous success." But at AL, many students were unaware of Pride Week. The main event, a parade down Broadway on April 29, attracted a swarm of 15,000 spectators. They watched 65 floats sponsored by schools and civic organizations. Cheerleaders, porn pon girls, bands, and horses also joined in the celebration. Although students at other schools were reported to participate enthusiastically in weeklong events such as "Balloon Ballyhoos," and assemblies honoring long-time teachers, many students at AL barely realized it was a special week. Events at AL included a 50's dress-u~ day, a boys versus girls basketball game, a hat day, a mountain music show, and a day on which students could stay home if their parents came in their places. . Few students participated in any of these activities, except the assemblies where they had little choice. Only a handful of students dressed up, and almost no one wore a hat. .No ~arents were seen filling in at school for their children. Many students said they didn't know .in advance about the activities and suggested more publicity in the school newspaper in addition to announcements. An.n Burke '79, Pride Week Committee Chairman for AL, said, however, that publicity was adequate."People just didn't seem to care. I'm not sure what the problem was," she said. Many students thought response was poor because people were confused about how the activities related to Pride Week. "What does a 50's dress-up day have to do with pride?" said Brian Brown '81 . Some students suggested better activities, which included beautifying the community and school grounds. "We should have taken a day off school to pick up trash in the community," said Mark Miner '79. One event was well related to Pride Week, but it involved only a few students. On Civic Pride Day, 40 Council Bluffs students followed city and county officials for the day. AL students served as the fire chief, a judge, the sheriff and a council member. Other Pride Week events included a showc.:.ase held every night at Bayliss Park, hosting about 40 performances from various sch0ol groups, including Al's choirs and bands. Pride Week was an event the community enjoyed, but most AL students didn't get involved.

(BELOW) Fashion flashbacks H igh heels clickety-clicking down the hall ... satin rustling on the dance floor ... boys whistling at girls in straight-leg jeans ... rowdies yee-hawing as they don cowboy hats and boots-these were the sounds accompanying some of the fads and fashions of '79. A nostalgic yearning for the moods of the carefree 'SO's inspired some of the looks. Cuffed, straight-legged jeans and tall, skinny heels teamed up with big shirts and skinny belts to give girls that chic, slim look. "I think straight-leg jeans look really neat," said Tammy McDowell '81, "especially rolled up with high heeled shoes." And the 'SO's influence promoted skirts as one alternative to pants. Their tiny pleats, soft gathers, or wide circles were topped with sheer blouses or soft sweaters. For yet another look, pleated, narrow-legged trousers, white tuxedo shirts, blazers and ties were the components of the menswear style, inspired by the oscar-winning movie, " Annie Hall." "I think menswear on girls looks really sharp," said Susan Miner '81, "but some overdo it a I ittle." For evening, girls wanted ·at least one satin disco outfit. "I think disco outfits are classy for anytime you go to a party or someplace special, but they really don't fit into the school atmosphere," said Cheryl Smith '81. "Jeans are still more prevalent." Of 82 students polled in a random survey, the majority agreed the casual look of jeans and sweaters was still preferred over dressier fashion trends. "Some students, mostly girls, are concerned with fashion," said Neil Price '81, " but boys buy clothes that look good on them." Although boys weren't as concerned with fashion as girls, most students agreed they were dressing sharper. "I think it's a definite improvement that boys are wearing more corduroys and sweaters instead of ragged jeans and T-shirts," said Kathleen McKinley '81. In a casual mood, hiking boots and cowboy hats westernized boys as well as girls. " It seems like everyone has a pair of hiking boots," said Todd Hoden '81 . " They're really comfortable." With so many new styles, students were easily confused as to what was "in."

School's out for two whole days! With this sudden freedom, students were out to party. On Friday night, a good time might have been a football or basketball game, and then out to eat at Marchio's or Spaghetti Works. "It's great going out, chowing down and getting crazy after a game," said Dan Driver '80. Or maybe students spent their time standing in a lo ng line, fighting the wind and snow, waiting to see the super movie everyone was talking about, only to find after reaching the front that the sign said " sold out." Saturday night found many students at parties. "I like to get really wild and have a good time on weekends," said Connie LeMaster '79. Although many students enjoyed drinking, some preferred the company of good friends to alcohol. "When we have a party, it's a lot of fun even without alcohol," said Jana Milford '79.- "We don't need to get high to have a good time." Sunday night wound up activities with d isco dancing at the Depot, which featured teen night on Sundays, when kids fro m 13 to 19 could dan ce w ith o ut bein g served alcoho li c beverages. The Depot offered dance contests each week for ten weeks. Winning couples from each week participated in one large contest w ith prizes of $50, $100 and $200 awarded. " The people involved in the contests reall y got in the disco spirit," said Christie Griff in '80. "They dressed in the latest disco o utfits and could really dance!" With such a w ide variety of activities, students had difficulty doing everything they enjoyed on weekends. Once a mo nth, in-service days were relished as another opportunity for them to have a good time. Skiing at Crescent, ice-skating at a local pond or park, or having a leisurely lunch w ith friends at a local restaurant were favorite activities.

When the bell signaled each lunch period, students began to dig in pockets for 40 cents and scramble to get in long lines. By the time they were served, most had less than 15 minutes left to gobble their lunches. Meat, vegetables, a roll and butter, fruit, and milk constituted a typical school lunch. Most students chose to take advantage of the reasonably priced lunches. A few chose to eat ice cream cones and salads, also offered. "You can't eat anyplace else for 40 cents," said Doug Howe '79. When the favorites-pizza, macaroni and cheese, and chicken-fried steak-were served, lines were longer and plates were licked clean. But when the not-so-favorites- goulash, soup, and fish sandwiches- were served, waste receptacles had to be emptied half a dozen times. "The lunches are reasonable," said Jennifer Kinney '81, "but they're not always good." Almost everybody believed the 20 minutes for lunch was not enough. "You're rushed, especially when there's a long line," said t Myers '79.

To supplement lunch, many students spent morning study halls munching candy bars and sipping pop in the student lounge. Two new restaurants in Council Bluffs, Applegate's Landing and Big Cheese Pizza, provided students with more variety for munching outside of school. " I like sitting in the porch swing and gazebo at Applegate's," said Trisha Burkybile '81. But the favorite of students was the fast-food restaurant, where they co1.ird fill up on W hoppers, Whalers, Big Macs, Triples, fries, rings, malts, sundaes and pies, usually for under $2, and in 20 minutes time. Many admitted to satisfying these cravings at least tw ice a week. Over half of those surveyed preferred Burger King's Whopper to all other fast-food delights. "The Whopper is stuffed with a lot of good things, and the bun isn't bigger than the meat," said Darla Dettman '81 .

Eighty-one of 100 students randomly surveyed said it was the major problem in the United States, and 45 said inflation had a big effect on them. To help beat the high prices, almost half of those surveyed took jobs. Their average salary was $158 a month. " I like working, but I'm doing it for the money," said Mike Branigan '79. "If I didn't have to work, I wouldn't." Many students worked primarily to support their cars. One-third of those surveyed owned their own cars. One student reported spending $208 every six months for insurance, $86 a month for payments, and $60 a month for repairs, maintenance and gas. The average car owner spent nearly half of his income o n his car. Whether or not they worked, students reported that inflation hit them hardest in food, clothes and gas. Many said they had to cut down in these areas to make ends meet. "The high cost of clothes blows my money," said Lu38 inflation cinda Bourne '79.

Teachers who saw the program believed it applied to AL, even though the school's ACT test scores averaged .7 to 1.6 points higher than the national average. The consensus among teachers was that even though students were learning something, they should have been learning much more. "Many of our students graduate with a minimum of knowledge about the subjects they were taught in high school," said Jane Tarson, biology teacher. " It's appalling that serious college bound seniors with GPA's of 3.5 or better are unable to read and interpret material independently, take notes and organize them or perform competently on an essay examination," said Arlan Johnson, English instructor. A wide choice of classes prevented maximum learning, according to many teachers. A total of 149 courses was offered, ranging from the easiest to the most difficult. Students selected their own classes, many of them opting for easier course loads. For example, the enrollment in Basic Composition, an elective Engli sh course, had dropped from 250 students four years ago to 140 students last year. Only nine students took Advanced Composition. But college students returning from school claimed they should have taken more of the basics. "Everybody should take Basic Composition. I didn't have it, and now I have to go back and learn how to write," said Donna Stenberg 78, Northwest Missouri State freshman. Better learning would have res ulted if there had been a balance between requirem ents and electives, according to several teachers. The only requirements were one and a half years of social studies, two years of English, three yea rs of phys ical education and one semester of math or science. "Requirements when I was a student were stricter. We could choose only three elec - tives," said Alice West, DECA instructor. " Now there are too few requirements. I think a happy medium should be met." Other teachers felt that if students were motivated, they could get a good education from the classes offered. "You can get a fantastic education, or you can simply put your time in here," said Orville Miller, math teacher. " If students are serious, they'll have enough initiative to take the classes needed." Teachers generally agreed that paFents were failing in their obligation to motivate their children. "Learning must start in the home. Parents must create a learning atmosphere and interest," said Jeff Haun, industrial arts teacher. Instructors expressed varying philosophies of how to motivate students to learn. Several teachers felt classes had to be fun to prevent student apathy. "My basic feelings are that learning, no matter what the subject is, has to be fun," said Vanessa Wright, typing teacher. " If kids·enjoy the class, they do the work and learn from doing it." Others disagreed. "Learning is not always fun; it's often hard work, and students must be taught that reality. The classroom should be a place where students expect to think, read, write and drill without being entertained all the time," said Linda Smoley, English instructor. Generally, teachers said homework was im-· portant because it provided an opportunity to practice what had been learned . Yet, students revealed that they were given less and less homework as they progressed from the requirements of their sophomore year to the electives of their senior year. In a class of 17 sophomores, most said they had regular, checked homework in at least three of their classes. In similar survey of seniors, most revealed they had little or no homework. Most students surveyed, however, said homework was important. " Ho mework gives you practice and a chance to develo p ski lls that you've been taught," said Colleen Lyon 79. One way administrators planned to begin checking strengths and weaknesses in students' skills was to give check point tests in the third, sixth, eighth, ninth and eleventh grades. The testing was projected to begin in two years. It was fair to say, then, that although the picture at AL was not as bleak as the one CBS painted of the natio n's schools, many local educators believed that not enough was demanded of students. academic achievement 43 44 social studies "Bottle Neck" game teaches students about the procedures and problems of passing a bill.

For a few students, Election '78 was a time for balancing normal work loads with additional hours spent at their precinct headquarters. Lynn Damme '79, and Patty Thorn '80, worked for the Democratic campaign, surveying voters by phone, walking miles to remind voters door to door and putting up posters all over town. "It's exhilarating to be involved and really believe in the candidates I back," Thorn said. But for most students, the election year was their first exposure to the world of politics. Politics class, taught by John llcisin, gave students a chance to gain insight into the political scene. "It's good to take politics because you learn how government runs, as well as interesting facts," said Theresa Swanger '79. Several speakers addressed the class. U.S. Representative Tom Harkin, opposing candidate Julian Garrett, and Craig Whitney '78, who campaigned for his father, discussed the issues. Issues covered during the discussions varied from agriculture in Iowa to the country's economic situation. "Inflation and taxes are issues that are important because their spiraling rates need to be controlled somehow," said Scott Fort '80. After interaction with the candidates, students felt they would have voted if they had been old enough. "The speakers helped me become more interested in government," said Shane Beck '79.

This scene occurred regularly in room 208 as speed reading students were timed. As the result of a poll of sophomores in Personal Reading, Dorothy Ricke, English instructor, wrote a new speed reading curriculum, approved by the school board last year. "About 75 percent of my students were interested in a speed reading course," Ricke said. Approximately 180 juniors and seniors took the new class. During one semester the goal was to double or triple each students' reading speed. Students didn't know what to expect. "I thought there would be little tricks and aids to help achieve a goal," said Wanda Haberberger 79. But there were no tricks and aids, just drills and timings. "Speed reading is a physical skill," said Ricke. "When the student knows he is being timed, he pushes to read faster." Timings varying from 2 to 15 minutes were taken regularly. Words read per minute were recorded so the student could see his progress. Each student at least doubled his reading speed. Some set higher goals and met them . One student went from 250 words per minute to 3140 words per minute in one quarter. " I never thought I would be able to read as fast as I can now with good comprehension," said Judy Waters '79. To test students' comprehension, timings were taken from a Science Research Association (SRA) reading lab. After the timings, a ten-question test was given . If the student scored 75 percent or higher, he had good comprehension. Outside of class, students applied speed reading to text books. " I've used speed reading while researching papers for my child care class," said Haberberger, "It's been a great help."

Small color-coded boxes neatly stapled to the walls held supplies they would take when needed. Full of construction paper, laminating paper and countless pieces of equipment, the media center opened its doors to any student wishing to complete a project or be creative. The "Open Door" policy was instituted because John Cairns, media specialist, beiieved the center was for everyone. "The first objective of the media center is to serve the students and faculty," Cairns said. Students liked the policy because it gave them a new opportunity to do things which were impossible in the confines of the regular classroom. Projects ranged from creating and laminating collages and making transparencies, to preparing and fitting sound to slide series.

"I make posters and projects for Mrs. Levy as well as for myself." Teachers found the arrangement ideal. "I think it's a nice organization. It provides a chance for my students to use materials I don't have," said Maxine Levy, special education instructor. Teachers also used the facility to prepare teaching aids. To assist students and faculty, several students, called designers, were trained in lettering and arranging posters, making video tapes, preparing slides and checking out equipment. "Art students often come up to the center _wanting things laminated," said Ed Rutledge '79. "We show them how, so they can laminate on their own later." The media center was no longer a place to take work to be done, but a place where anyone could work.

Such was the scene when Jeff Haun, industrial arts instructor, washed the sawdust from his hands and exchanged his hammer for a spoon to show the art of Chinese cooking to Advanced Foods students. To provide something different, Mary Housewright, home economics instructor, asked teachers to demonstrate for her students. "It's fun to cook and I like to eat what cook" Haun said. "I cook anything from Italian, Mexi~an, Chinese to good ol' American food." Tomas Lara, Spanish instructor, also offered to demonstrate, giving a lesson on cooking Mexican food. As well as learning how to prepare exotic dishes, students had a good time. "It was really fun to watch Mr. Haun cook; he sure made a big mess," said Mary Hanafan '80. Some learned that they wouldn't like to live in a foreign country. "I like American food a lot better," .said Marilyn Miller '80. At the other end of the hall, Thurman John50 business, home economics son, typing instructor, was taking a mugshot of each of his 115 students. Johnson had two goals for his classes. "My goals are to recognize the best student in the class and to give everybody a chance to succeed," he said. When he tried to think of a way to stimulate student effort, he came up with an unique idea. With the words "Top Ten" and a period number printed on each, five cardboard posters hung on his classroom wall. After one, three or five minute timings were taken, the ten students with the best timings had their pictures placed on the posters from first to tenth place. . Johnson paid for developing the color pictures himself. "Everybody likes to see his picture somewhere for something he accomplished," Johnson said. Most students said the idea helped them. "It makes me try harder to cut down on my mistakes," said Kim Funkhouser '81. "When we take timings, there is an atmosphere of competition," said Barb Cox '81. In such ways, students were provided with unusual challenges to master the practical arts. "You toss it like this," says instructor Jeff Haun as he demonstrates the art of Chinese cooking to Louis Ruiz in Advance Foods.

Cabinet making students built 12 cabinets for the office, the kitchen and the Spanish and art rooms, according to Jeff Haun, Industrial Arts Department chairman. "It was fun as well as good experience," said Rudy Gonzales '79. "For next year, I'm going to check about possibly making cabinets for places outside of the school," Haun said. The newly completed curriculum of semester courses in woods was just one way industrial arts teachers tried to meet the needs of more students.

About 15 percent of those enrolled were girls, according to Haun. "One of my best students is a female, and she is very capable of keeping up with the boys," said instructor Jack Boylan. Industrial arts teachers didn't make their classes eas ier for· girls.

(R IGHT) Class for cash and credit W anted: Students interested in good money, valuable work experience and academic credit. Students filling that bill enrolled in Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA), Trades and Industry (T&I), and Coop Food Service classes. Each course offered class training and on-the-job experience. Coop Food Service, previously offered only at TJ, taught seniors about all areas of food service. Appearance and grooming, sanitation, and pest control were part of the curriculum. Several fast food outlets, grocery stores and restaurants employed the students. Grades students received were based on class and work efforts. Mary Siebrecht, Coop Food Service instructor, gave each student's supervisor an evaluation sheet, on which to rate promptness, responsiveness and cooperation. "Teamwork is the key to a good evaluation," said Judy Marshall '79. "When we are not busy, we are expected to help others w ith their work and never say 'that's not my job.' " Students were trained in more than one area of food service so they could work w here they were needed. This variety of experience helped several students with their career aspirations. " I took this course because I plan to be a restaurant manager," said LeRoy Davis '79. He had progressed from dishwashing to supervising in his job at Bishops. Other students had jobs prior to taking the class, but felt the course would improve their skills at work. " I took the class because I thought it would have a lot to do w ith my job of hostessing at Perkin's," said Tammie South 79. Such basic tenets as " the customer is always right" helped students d ea l w ith jo b situations. Although some people questioned the validity of giving academic credits for job experience, students liked the idea. "It's a good deal getting credits and money for working," said Cindy Heywood '79. And students believed they earned the credits they received. " If people work up to their ability, they should earn something," said South.

Construction of the house began Oct. 10 under the direction of Richard Buchanan, Career Center instructor, w ho also designed the house. Buchanan listed the advantages of a wood foundation as warmer, dryer basements, elimination of foundation settlings and lower cost. Students thought job openings would come sily because of their experience with the ~~oject. "Contractors from this area wi ll be looking for any of us when they need a wood fou ndation built," said Dan Grieder '79, Ca reer Building student, "because we'll be about the only ones around who w ill know how to build them." When the house was fin ished in Apri l, it was put on the open market to be sold by local realtors. Meanwhile, under another alternative learn ing program, students were getting help from six special education teachers. 56 alternative learning programs Because Publi c Law 94-142, which was passed last year, required public schools to develop programs to satisfy the needs of learning and physica lly disa bled stud ents, two new teachers were added to the Special Education Department. Since the law was enacted, the number of :tudents diagnosed w ith learning disabilities has increased, because teachers have been required to refer such students. " W e are forced to offer a program to meet the needs of any child " said Lucile Hoffman, counselor. ' In the specia l ed ucat ion program, eac h teacher could meet with a maximum of 18 students a day. Together, the six special education teachers saw 85 students per day. c:>ther t~d nt s were placed on a waiting list which continued to grow. It was estimated that there would be four new teachers and a new program next year, according to Hoffman. Other alternative learning programs offered to students included cos m etology classes at Stewarts, and child ca re and auto mechanics classes at Iowa Western.

Two puppets created by Drama I students carry on a conversation just as any flesh and blood people would. (BELO W) New approaches to self expressions D oing everything from squishing clay to rehearsing lines, fine arts students had a chance to ex press and share their individuality. An artist himself and a new teacher, Dave Williams shared his talent with his students in as many ways as possible. To demonstrate the techniques he taught, he brought finished works of his own. " Students are aware of the long process involved in art," he said, "but when they see a finished product, they get anxious to start." He taught his students that art relates to experiences, feelings, and activities. He made them aware, for example, that pinching, poking and twisting clay could be a way to release anger. Because he believed there was no right or wrong way to create art and because of the individuality of the subject, Williams gave each student personal time. "One to one is the way I prefer to teach," he said. "No two students have the same talent, so they deserve individual help." Throughout the year, students' best art pieces were saved for the art fair. The work they did was rewarded with 18 of the 30 first place prizes awarded to high school students. Ineluded in these awards was a Grand Champion awarded to Julie Ozaydin '80 for her pastel portrait of her br?ther. Other awards were given in areas from pnnts to ceramics. In the Drama Department, a new approach was taken in preparing for State Large Group Speech Contest. Theatre students from AL and TJ attended an all-day workshop in Al's auditorium the day before contest. Students from each school performed their contest material; then each performance was critiqued a!'ld discussed. " The workshop w as beneficial to both schools," said Jim Mimick drama instructor. "AL obviously profited as ~ received five I ratings and three outstandings." At contest students performed for an audience which included three judges. To receive a I rating or an outstanding rating, two out of three judges had to feel a perform ance deserved a first place or outstanding award. Students received I ratings for duet acting and mime, and outstanding ratings for one-act play, reader's theater and duet acting. Finished products, Grand Champion awards and I ratings were all rewards w hich art and drama students received for their ef fo rts through the year. OUTSTANDING RATED SPEECH AN D D RAMA STUDENTS.

"I think we need definite deadlines for assignments. "But what about the people w ho are slower than others?" argued one boy. "They shouldn't get penalized." Such conversations reflected student disagreement over the five-year old individualized program. A survey of three chemistry classes showed that two-thirds of the students preferred the individualized program. These students defended the program vigorously. "The individualized program allows the people who want to go ahead to do so," said Connie Sutherland '80. "The teacher is always there if you need help." Susan Tait '80, agreed. "Some people have the ability to go faster, and if you get stuck on a unit, you still have time to make it up, without getting really far behind," she said. Although a minority, students who disliked the program voiced their opinions strongly in lunch-time and lounge conversations or as they worked on difficult labs. "I think it shquld be a regular class," said Pam 60 science and math Acklie '80. " As it is now, too many people get a chance to procrastinate and to fail." Others agreed. "The individualized program makes it easier to jack around," said Teri M urray '80. "If chemistry was like other classes, I think it would be easier to understand." But teachers felt that the individualized class was advantageous because it didn't hold back those who could go faster or push those who were slower. Although students complained about the lack of deadlines and too few lectures, teachers pointed out that deadlines were given if requested and that in the past., students had complained of too many lectures. "It's hard to please them," said Dennis Schmoker, chemistry teacher. Although the department faced some complaint, the course was scheduled to remain individualized, much to students' like or dislike. The Math Department saw student interest grow enough to add a second calculus class and necessitate the purchase of a new digital computer. The computer aided in the teaching of programming because its terminals allowed four students to work at one time. "Are you sure it's right?"

Last fall, when physical fitness tests were first administered, this scene was a common occurrence in almost every P.E. class as students learned how out of shape they were. Student reaction to the tests varied. Some detested them . "Kids who can't do them get embarrassed and don't want to take gym at all," said Penny Poffenbarger '81. "They are impossible to achieve unless you're a superman," said Dan Jackson '80. But others actually enjoyed the tests. "I think they're good! You have to be in physical shape," said Pam Garrett '79.

But even Marsha Massih '80, who wore five patches on her coat, had mixed feelings about the tests. "I think they're a good id ea, but they show only your ability, not how much you try," she said. And many students didn't try. "Forty percent of the time, I tried to better myself and the other 60 percent, I just goofed around," said John Burke '80. But even when they knew students were trying, teachers questioned the value of the tests. "I really don't feel they're a real indication of physical fitness, because of the short tim e in class," said Argersinger. Instructor Kay Hatterman felt that one solution might be to set as id e two weeks to prepare for and take each test. P.E. instructors, on the whole, felt the tes ts should be continued.

At pep assemblies students saw team enthu siasm and spirit, as players gathered in the center of the gym, started chants, clapped hands, and stood in offensive and defensive formations . Out on the field, though, players worked for themselves instead of as a team, according to coaches. "Players worried about how many ya rd s they gained individually rather than what they co uld do as a tea m ," Ass istant Coach Mike Batten said. Players and coaches cited two other reasons for the poor record . Many said there wasn't enough dedica tion. "Everyone wanted to win, but they didn't want to do the hard work that went with it," said Cory Harter '79. According to Coach Gary Thompson, injuries were also a factor. Ja y Heiman '79, Mark Dix '81, Tom Schropp '80, and Kurt Jo nes '80, each missed some of the last four out of five gam es. The highlight of the season was the TJ game.

These games were typical of the JV-sophomore football season-sophs enthused, playing strong defense; junior varsity defeated, giving up. Although the sophs' 3-6 record wasn't a winning one, it was the best of the Lynx football teams. "The players had super attitudes and never quit," Coach Terrell Clinton said. Runaway losses such as 0-34 against Millard resulted, in part, because the team couldn't play well early in the game. "We could have done better if we had started playing in the first quarter," said Richard Simmons '81. But overall, sophomores were pleased with their season. "Even though I was disappointed with our record, I thought we had a good tea m . The reason we were able to win three games was because we rarely got down on ourselves," said Robin Swanson '81. The JV team, on the other hand, faced many morale problems. " The boys fell flat after the second game," said Coach Clark Allen. The JV team was the team no one wanted to play on, according to Allen, because the makeup of the team changed constantly, as juniors beat out seniors on varsity or replaced injured varsity players, leaving the JV with vacancies. Once, the team was left with only 15 players. "Many times, not having enough players hurt us" said Kevin Sass '81. According to coaches, both teams would have had better records if more boys had gone out. "There are a lot of boys walking these halls w ho should have gone out," Allen said. JV FOOTBALL.

Boys, on the other hand, admitted practices weren't serious enough, and their record showed it, listing only four wins out of nine matches. The highlight of the fall season was the Dodge Park Invitational, in which five golfers placed.

The Metro Tournament was one of those other times. Piles of decorations, new red cowboy hats and yells all the way to Omaha couldn't push the Lynx past Millard's strong spiking. They lost both games. " I think we got too fired up and broke our concentration," said Karen Sealock '80. Again before district play, enthusiasm was high. Knowing the addition of 74 new teams in Iowa would allow o nly one team from each district to go to State, the girls wanted to win more than ever. But their battle for districts was lost 2-3 against TJ. After losing the first two games, they rall ied 'to win the next two but by the deciding game, the pressure became too much. " W e got too emotional during the last game and after a few points went by, we lost control of the game mentally," said Zoe Hansen '79. But high spots dotted the season.

" It was hard to get our blood circulating, but by afternoon we started building momentum and played together super well," said Susan Farrell 79.

Draper was largely responsible for Al 's early wins as she broke the School record by scoring 58 points against Oakland. But the team finally began to play together to provide an exciting week of wins against Lewis Central, TJ and Mo. Valley. Players agreed they won because they worked as a unit, with all three forwards gaining points instead of relying o n Draper. Nervous determination shows as Lisa Draper bites her l ip, preparing to shoot a free throw with St. Albert's Kelly Kenkle waiting for the rebound. Their most exciting game occurred that week against Lewis Central. W ith the Titanettes leading 73-72 and four seconds left in the game, Cory Peters '78, was fouled and given the chance for two points. She sank both baskets, to lead the Lady Lynx to a 74-73 win.

But the Lady Lynx didn't fare as well in sectionals, losing 64-79. "Lewis Central wanted revenge, and we just wanted another win," said Peters. "They played like they were o ut for blood." Other team members said disagreements between players were responsible for their poor performance at sectionals. Draper's never-say-die attitude conflicted with some girls' wi llingness to give up, according to players. But despite these troubles, Draper sustained her scoring average of 42.6, finishing the season sixth in state. "Lisa was the most devoted player o n the team. She would practice until 10 o'clock at night and come early every morning," said Nancy Goecke~ '79. Through her devotion, Draper won the sectional, district and regional free throwing contest, finally fin ishing sixth in state there also.

That spirit of competition between JV players helped make for a winning volleyball and basketball season. Girls came early and stayed late to practice, hoping to gain starting spots on the basketball team. Stephanie Peters '81, came every morning from 7 to 8 o'clock to shoot free throws. Fifteen out of 19 girls were rewarded for their efforts by being allowed to start at least once, and everyone got to play. The team ended with a 9-8 record, with their most exciting wins against TJ, 68-59 and 46-42. "I told the girls they each had to get at-least 20 points against TJ, and they got 23, 22, and 20," said Coach Robert Pettepier. "I think TJ was the best game because everyone averaged the same number of points, and we played as a team," said Linda Farrell '81, "but beating TJ is always a big thing." Spikers also put in extra hours of practice to improve their season. All the players stayed after scheduled practices to develop individual skills, according to Coach Ron Adams. At least ten girls played each game. Their devotion resulted in an early win against Millard, one of the best teams in their division. They beat them two straight games. "We were really psyched up when we met Millard because they were sure they were going to beat us with no trouble," said Amy Anderson '81. But the season ended on a disappointing note after an unexpected loss to Northwest. "We felt we were on an equal caliber with them," said Adams. "We had beaten the same teams, and after winning seven straight games, it was really a letdown." If the spikers had beaten Northwest, they would have been second in their division, but they ended their season third with a 7-4 record.

It was then that they beat Papillion and Harlan and al so becam e the first AL team in many years to be .500 at the middle of th e season. " We showed our desire to win and respect for each other in the Papillion game," said Mike Godfrey '80. "With three seconds left and d own by one, we could have given up, but we devised a play and won." Yet, the team compiled a record of 13 losses and only six wins. llcis in accounted for the losses, citing overpowering talent on the Metro team s. Northwest and Burke, for example, were Nebraska state contenders, and Northwest went on to take the state championship. But even against such teams, the boys gave respectable performances, losing to Northwest by only one and beating Burke by three. "They managed to keep their heads up. They went into tough games feeling they could win," llcisin said. "They never gave up." Yet the team was plagued by inconsistency, som etim es losing to easier opponents by as many as 20 points. When asked why, resigning Coach 11- cisin said, " If I knew the answer to that question, I'd still be coaching next year." The three team standouts were Shawn Palmer 79, Jeff Lytten '80, and Kent Beck '80. Palmer was selected to the Iowa Coaches Association AllStar Team.

I Most of the team's problems resulted from lack of experience. Half of the team was made up of sophomores. Like other JV squads, the team was at a disadvantage because m embers had to practice with varsity, and never really got to practice as a team. "We were sort of varsity's tools," Crowl said. "If varsity was going to play Millard, we would run Millard's plays, so they would be more fami liar with them." But despite the formidable obstacles facing them, the team improved, shortening their losing point spread from 20 against Prep to 4 against Northwest, and winning two out of their last four games. " The team improved 80 percent throughout the season," Nielsen said. After getting off to a 4-0 record, the sophomore team dropped seven out of their last nine games. According to Coach Terrill Clinton the reason for the late slump was the increasing toughness of opposing t~ams. Like the JV team, poor shooting plagued the sophomores, even though they spent 15 minutes to a half hour extra time o n it during daily practices. Another problem was failing to run the offensive plays as well as they thought they could have, as losses by as much as 33 points showed. But the downhill season didn't depress the sophs. During practices, players hustled and cheered each other on, and the coach reported they never got down on themselves. "The players never went into a game with a losing attitude," Clinton said. "They always went in thinking they could win." Poised high in the air, Todd Shanks attempts to pass the ball to teammate Rick Cochran as Benson defenders ready to intercept.

Support for the team improved steadily. "When we started winning, they decided they had better come and watch," said jess Randall '79. W restlers gave several reasons for their success. "We're really a tight squad," said Lanny D ingman '79. " W e're not just a conglomerate of athletes. We're friends and athletes." "The coach was great, he got alo ng with everyone and really motivated us," said Scott Harding '79. To most spectato rs, the Lynx mad e winning look easy. But behind the scenes, the preparations were grueling. After struggling through 50 sit-ups, 50 push-ups, 25 handstand push-ups and 25 buddy sit-ups, w restlers would practice takedowns, wrestle a match, work on the "tip of the day," and end practices by repeating their opening exercises. On three mornings each week, they ran for an hour in addition to p ractices. Knowing what lay ahead, most team members started getting into shape long before the season began. Many played other sports, ran on their own and lifted weights. Most had to lose weight as well as get into shape. To w~est ~ his ideal weight, Scott Buchholz '79, had to lose 18 pounds.

Opponent schools had their own pools, enabling them to average an hour and a half of practice in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. "Since we get only one hour of practice a day, it's hard to compete with teams that get twice as much," said Rick Gilson '80. But the Lynx swimmers looked forward to next year when the new Kirn building would be done and they could hold practices twice a day in the pool.

From September through April, bowlers paid $2.50 a week for an hour and a half on the lane. The average bowler spent $80 a year to participate. "I think it's kind of expensive, but if you enjoy it, it's worth the money," said Ruth Lynn '79. M ost felt that bowling had a more relaxed atmosphere than other sports. Bowlers were able to joke around and have fun with the opposing teams. " You're not out for blood like the rest of the sports are," said Beth Pettepier '79. "We goofed around a lot with our opponents." But the relaxed atmosphere didn't keep Al's teams from capturing top honors. Team I, made up of Paula Franz '79, Sherri Matthew s '79, and Pettepier, brought home the girls' first place trophy and the high team series of 1842 pins.

Cloudy skies threatened rain again and again as volleys were returned and points gained. The weather prevented many practices and cancelled or postponed at least three matches. " It's hard to play in strong wind and cold weather," said Matt Crowl '80. But bad weather couldn't prevent a girls' winning record of 9-2. The girls agreed that Marian was their best match. "We wanted to beat them since they'd beaten us last year and the year before for the Metro Championship," said Lisa Draper '79. But Marian was important for another reason. It was Coach Jan Lyle's one hundredth win in her coaching years, w hich brought her overall record to 100 wins, 23 losses, and two ties. " It' s been just super!" said Susa n Farrell '79. "I think the communication and team unity has been great. We've had a lot of depth." Such team unity was shared by the boys. "We got along great together," said David Urich '79. "Our only conflicts were over choosing which tapes to play on our way to away matches." The boys agreed their best match was the city tournament, where they took the title.

"Mr. Haun works on form the most because once we have form, we can do better," said Sheila VanArsdol '81. For both teams, it was a year of learning the basics. The boys needed to rebuild after losing eight key seniors last year. This lack of experience made for a mediocre year in which only a 3-6 record was obtained. Lack of depth and experience also hurt the girls, who didn't have enough people to run in the one and two-mile relays and were unable to win a single meet. Although their records didn't show it, runners worked hard to psyche themselves up for yvinning. " I would sit and listen to Styx for about two hours before I had to go to a meet, or the night before a meet. It helped me to time myself," said Bill Rance 79. "I will sit and tell myself, 'Well, I' ve practiced hard on this, and I am going to win,' /1 said Pam Coleman '79. Haun spoke well of his team's efforts. "The spirit was good. The girls had a lot of ambition and put it all on the line. They were willing to work hard ." Working hard and building spirit paid off as several tracksters made strong individual improvements.

Facing a season of 24 regular games, one tournament and the state qualifying rounds, the softball team planned to rely on five returning varsity players and four who moved up from last year's junior varsity. They knew one of their strongest assets would be the hitting of Beth Pettepier '79, and Lisa Draper '79. Their batting averages were .329 and .325 respectively from last year's season, which ended with an 18-10 record. Defensively, first baseman Lori Van Pelt '79, brought to the new season a record of six double plays and fewer errors than any other girl who handled the ball consistently. According to Coach Bob Pettepier, the team's speed would also account for many wins, with four underclassmen, Linda Farrell '81, Patty Holeton '81, Lori Gigliodoro '80, and Lorrie Scott '80, running the bases. Pettepier predicted cautiously that the team could easily break a .500 season, but team members expressed greater confidence about their season. "We should have a strong team this year," said Draper. "If we improve in each game, by the end of the season, we should have a good shot at making it to State." The team's biggest battle would be against pitching inexperience. Scott and Denise Allmon '81, fought for the pitching position, one playing varsity and the other playing JV. Neither of the girls had any varsity playing time.

In a jam against Central, Allen Wilson tries to get out of his slump after walking two batters. With only one returning starter, they had to correct some serious problems. Early in the season, poor batting foiled them, but they soon licked the problem with extra practice. Their efforts paid off as they shut out Cathedral 8-0 and Tech 11-0, in a late season double header, scoring all 11 runs in only three innings.

"When we cut down on mental mistakes, we made fewer errors," said Jay Heiman 79. " Instead of eight or nine errors a game, w e cut them down to two or three." Because they were forced to play sophomores on varsity, the team had to work together to develop the talent of these young players. Both Kevin Stopak '81, and Robert Christensen '81 learned to play with fewer errors. " I was really pleased with how well the younger players d eveloped as the season went on," said Coach Ron Adams. Senior leadership, according to teammates, helped the younger players adjust. "If I made a mistake, a senior would tell m e not to let it bother me," Stopak said. "It made me feel better, so I played better." Pitching was one of the team's greatest assets, according to Adams. Chuck Hayes 79, started off slowly with an 0-4 pitching record, but he improved to finish with a 4-5 record. In a rain shortened three-inning game against Tech, Hayes struck out all nine batters. Against Cathedral, Allen Wilson '80, struck out 13 batters and went on to achieve a 4-2 record. Like the varsity, the JV team suffered from errors and inexperience. Although the team, comprised almost entirely of sophomores, made fewer errors as the season went on, they could compile o nly a 1-7 record. Most players attributed their losses to severe defeats earl y in the season. "Losses like 8-1 and 7-0 really lowered o ur mo rale," said Todd Madsen '81.

The big winners turned out to be 14 carefree players who called themselves Highway 61 and won the championship title in a see-saw battle against the Cheezy Riders. But almost all the players felt they were winners as members of an intramural team. Lanny Dingman '79, of Highway 61 said it best: "You don't have to win to have a good time." And having a good time was what it was all about. To keep fun in the games, many standard procedures were thrown out and rules were relaxed. "When we wanted to play, we would just yell at someone," said Steve Benton '79. "If he didn't come out, when he went by, we would just pull him off the court." Teams cooked up their own special way to add laughs and build team spirit. The Cheezy Riders assigned nicknam es like Fuzzy and Cheezy, and Highway 61 held regularly scheduled parties to help unite their team. " After every game, we would find a house to go to and sit down with some beer and talk about the game," said Phil Thomas '79. Each team had their own most memorable game. For the Spurs it was loosing to the Cheezy Riders 101 to 26. For the Cheezy Riders and Highway 61, it turned out to be the 43 to 38 championship battle after which the losers, Cheezy Riders, bought a keg for Highway 61 victors. Boys gave various reasons for joining an intramural team . Some were already out for another sport. "I went out for wrestling and couldn't practi ce for the basketball team, too," said Bill Meadows '79. " lntramurals let me play without the hassle." For most intramural players, work was a top priority, and their long job ho urs didn't allow them time for varsity basketball. " I just didn't have time to work and practice too," said Benton. "With intramurals, you only practice w hen you want to." Others said they just didn't have the talent for interscholastic ball. " I knew I wasn't good enough for varsity basketball. There were so many guys out better than I was that I just would have ended up sitting on the bench al l the time," said Chris Higginbotham '81. "Intramural ball gave me a chance to play." Whatever the reason, the low pressure, all-out-good-time intramural idea helped make the school year special for 55 boys.

An additional cost of $2.25 per player covered an association patch and registration, according to Spooner. Members also bought their own uniforms and cleats. But plans for Al's team were almost cut short when legal responsibility for accidents became an important question. Soccer players were originally told by Athletic Director Don Moxley that they couldn't work out in the halls or dress in the locker rooms. Soccer Club president Shawn Gibson '80, said the problem arose because of school liability if someone were hurt. Eventually the problem was solved when a constitution was written releasing the school from all liability. Permission had to be given if the soccer team wanted to practice at school due to conflicts in using the Valley View playing field. Ninety-minute practices w ere held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at Valley View Park. Since most players were new to the sport, they spent most of their time just trying to master dribbling, passing and kicking skills.

After state competition, first place winners had a chance to be one of the 50 Iowans who traveled to Brockport, New York, for the national Special Olympics. Special education instructors and coordinators believed that after competing and winning in the Olympics, students gained a more positive attitude toward their studies. "It has given them a little motivation for life, and that motivation carries over into the academic aspects," said Bob Ro sie, Bluffs physical education consultant. One, Two, Three-go!

Jerked out of sleep, a disheveled girl rose to dress quickly in her red, white and blue uniform. Shw was at school by 7:15, ready to start practice. Such was the average cheerleader's routine on tri-weekly practice mornings. Cheerleaders spent as much as 20 hours a week practicing, attending games and arranging outside activities for athletes. They devised events such as a come-as-youare breakfast and a spaghetti dinner for varsity football players and a barbecue dinner for the volleyball team. "I thought the dinner was great. It was really nice of the cheerleaders to give it to us," said Susan Farrell '79, volleyball player. Cheerleaders also spent time learning new cheers introduced at camp where they won six awards. "The cheers were short, so the crowd would cheer with us," said Jill Searcy '79. " We used more boogie moves, not just stiff movements," said Captain Cathy Sealock '79. To pay for new uniforms and decorations for let~s hear it f • the football field, cheerleaders arranged moneymaking projects such as car washes and bake sales. They tried to promote school spirit by wearing red or blue cowboy hats. "The hats were something different from past years," Searcy said. Yet with all the time cheerleaders spent, they felt students didn't understand how many hours they worked. "We kept pushing ourselves; we didn't let the feeling of tiredness show through," Sealock said. But most cheerleaders thought the time was well spent. "When you see everyone get involved, the time and effort are worth it," said Ellen Hansen '80. "I'd really be bored if I didn't have games to cheer at, and practices and different activities to go to," said Tracy Brummer '81. For a cheerleader, then, the day often ended as a tired girl wearily lifted her legs up the stairs after a long bus ride home and at last crawled in her bed at midnight. CHEERLEADERS.

Fulltime- not just halftime I n a spectrum of red, white and blue, 20 pairs of porn pons swished to the beat, and 40 legs kicked in unison as porn pon girls boogied into staggered lines and V shapes. It all looked so easy. But performances were only a small part of being on the squad. Most students never saw the girls stumble into practice at 7 o'clock every morning, and dance for an hour while wrestlers ran around them and basketball players shot through them. "There's much more to porn pon than simple arm movements and ball changes," said Julie Madsen '80. Prior to early morning practices, several girls would spend up to 20 hours selecting music and choreographing each dance. Then ca me the hard part-teaching. Frustrating commands filled the gym ... "Keep your arms straight! ... Turn your heads . . . Come on, get into it!" The squad often had to perform at several basketball games a week. "It really gets tough when you have to make up two or three dances 114 porn pons in one week," said Shelly Hunter '81. To learn new dances, most of the squad attended an Iowa State University summer camp. Each girl paid $60 for the week. The squad was split into groups, each learning four dances. But the dances were taught so quickly that the girls forgot many of them by the time school began. After such effort, the girls were disheartened by complaints that they used the same steps over and over. "People should stop criticizing long enough to realize how hard it is to make up dances between every home game," said Toni DiBlasi '80. With all the hard work and criticisms, the girls needed encouragement. Everyone agreed sponsor Carol Murray provided that better than anyone had in the last three years. Murray went to almost every practice and supported the squad at games and parades. "She's filled with enthusiasm and cheerfulness that helps all of us realize that someone does appreciate what we are doing," said Julie Oden '79.

PePPY start soon turns sour B leachers wobbled at Creighton Prep's field as Pep Club members flashed red, white and blue porn pons, stomped, and shouted " Let's Get Rowdy," convincing the crowd looking on that an enthused Pep Club had finally been started. But a few months later, only three members cheered at the home basketball game against Gross, their presence almost unnoticed. Just as past years' Pep Clubs had faded out after the first few football games, the '78-'79 club wasn't any different, despite unusual motivation and enthusiasm from new sponsor Vanessa Wright. By basketball season, members had dwindled to less than half of the original 42. Members who remained active w ere disappointed in those who left. "I don't like it. If they didn't want to stick with it, they had no business joining," said Debbie Telpner '79. But remaining members kept busy. Because a system of rewards had been used successfully at her school, Wright introduced a po int system here. Members received 20 points fo r each 116 pep band, pep club game they attended, 15 points for each club meeting and 25 points for each event such as a play or open house. A trip to Worlds of Fun rewarded each member who earned 2500 points by May. To earn money for the trip, members peddled everything from football butto ns and basketball ribbons to candles, baked goods and a D ecember movie, " The Doberm an Gang." " W e've been really busy this year; last year w e hardly did anything," said Cherry Lieber '79. While Pep Club kept busy, Pep Band held practices every Tuesday after school during basketball season to be ready to entertain the crowds at all home sports events. " It's fun, and it gets you into the game," said Peggy Rickert 79. When members weren't practicing o r performing, they helped raise money by selling items from a gift boo k, and cheese and sausage from Hickory Farms. Proceeds went toward items for the band and a trip to Adventure Land at the end of the year. ,, Thundering sounds reverberate through the gym as Sandra DeWitt pla ~s the .tuba during a basketball pep rally.

" and "Take a number, I'm next in line to talk to Smoley!" created chaos in room 224 as yearbook and newspaper staffs rushed to meet deadlines. Deadlines proved to be the main problem of the inexperienced newspaper staff. "Some kids just don' t real ize the importance of deadlines," said assistant editor Kelly Hamilton '79. " In some classes, students can get by with turning in assignments late, but in newspaper, a deadline is your last chance." Others expressed different views. "We' re close to each other, and it's hard to reprimand a friend for putting things off," said editor Lynn D amme '79. Deadlines were especiall y tense because the staff wanted to live up to the All-American Award, which arrived in October, honoring the '78 staff. " I felt great when I heard about the award . We worked hard and deserved it," Hamilton said. Several believed the All-American should be a goal again. "We have the potential, but if some don't start getting excited and making All-American their goal, we don't have a chance," said sports editor Carrie Ballenger '79. In March, the staff was awarded its second AllAmerican. Soon after the rating arri ved, three staffers won National Key writing awards, and together, the newspaper and yearbook staffs won 28 awards at Northwest Missouri State University' s J-Day. " We were thrilled w hen everything came together after a rough year," said Kathy Irwin, National Gold Key w inner. " The Crimson and Blue" received a first class rating for the second year. " I think the staff can be proud," said advisor Linda Smoley. " I think the competition is even stiffer in yearbooks than in newspapers." The yearbook staff also had difficulties w ith deadlines. " Changing our copy from single to double column made fitting pi ctu res difficu lt and doing our ow n headlines took more time," said co-editor Denise Peters '79. But even w ith deadline fru strati ons, staffers felt their work was rewarding. " Know ing people were reading what I wrote made me fo rget all the problems," said yearbook sports editor Nancy Goecker ' 79.

(R IGHT) I A new home away f·rom home T housands of miles from home, fQreign exchange students gazed down from 30,000 feet in the air to glimpse their first sight of the U.S. After exchange students arrived in Iowa, Foreign Student Club helped them adjust. Some adjustments were easy. "I was used to going to school on Saturday in Switzerland and the first Saturday here, I had to find something to do," said Steve Huber '79. Other adjustments weren't as pleasant. "The pace around school is too fast. We had 45 minutes for lunch in Denmark, and here there's only 20 minutes," said Lone Nielsen '79. "People in school here are also more formal with teachers," Neilsen said. "In Denmark we call teachers by just their first or last name, never Mr. or Mrs." But one student detected a relaxed atmosphere. "The whole school is like one big family, because of so many activities," Huber said. To learn as much as possible about the U.S., Foreign Student Club encouraged students to participate in extracurricular activities. For example, Birgitta Rindborg '79, joined the cast of the musical as an Ozian, and Marie Dahl '79, started her first bowling season with an average of 94. "Here I belong to more organizations, like Key Club and a youth group at church," Huber said. "People in Switzerland usually don't belong to so many organizations." "I go to debate tournaments here, and at home we don't even have debate and speech contests," Nielsen said. Another activity they enjoyed was their first Thanksgiving dinner, which Foreign Student Club provided. Foreign Student Club included exchange students in other activities, such as their room at the Squirrel Cage Jail Haunted House, where they placed first, winning $600. The prize money was used for Christmas Dance decorations and band. Profits from the dance and other projects helped support the exchange student program. "I really appreciate what AL does for foreign students," Nielsen said. Eyes wide open, Birgitta Rindborg allow Patti Ryerson to apply eye liner for " The W izard of Oz."

Colorado Springs was the site of a Key Club conference. Members who could afford it went for a weekend to listen to speakers and hold panel discussions. Winding down the slopes provided relaxation afterwards. For the first time in Al's history, the club had a district ,governor, Terry Duermyer '79. He set up a Ralston Key Club and helped organize the Nebraska-Iowa District Convention in Omaha, arranging accommodations, meals, entertainment and speakers. " I felt pretty proud about being elected," Duermyer said. Key Club served the school and community. Twice a month they manned Jennie Edmundson's front desk and once a month they cleaned the Masonic Temple after blood donations. For Al 's new entrance, they purchased $170 worth of rosebud trees. To rai se money, they sold M & M's and raffled off a tape player. Many Key Club members found they grew as 122 courtesy, key clubs they met new people and learned how to get along with others. Going to parties was a good way to get to know others, whether they attended the first year anniversary of Ralston's Key Club or met downtown Kiwanis. "I wasn't so nervous; I found myself opening up to people better," said Kim Hinman '80. Though Key Club members found the club exciting, they heard others put it down. "I wish the kids wouldn't knock it because most of them don't know what it is about," said Duermyer. While Key Club was serving the school and community, Courtesy Club remained the official hostesses for the school. At Open House, thirtytwo girls showed parents to their child's next class and brought goodies to teachers who were stuck in their rooms. They also ushered and handed out programs at plays. The girls were always ready to help, usually with warm, friendly smiles. "We grow to appreciate people more," said Debbie Coffey '79, "and serving seems to put ourselves and the people we usher into a good mood for the activity."

French Club, for example, sampled unusual delicac ies ranging from snails to cherry-filled crepes, at the French Cafe. " I thought the atmosphere was really neat," said Marsha Massih '80. "The waiters were French and food was prepared with many different sauces." German Club also experienced lea rning through foods as they tasted meringue cookies and cake made w ith coffee grounds at their Christmas party. Music provided another look at foreign cultures. French Club members attended a rock concert at UNO, featuring Beauso leil Broussard. Sponsored by the National Theater of the Performing Arts, Ltd., the group had won a Prix de la Jeune Chanson (French Grammy) and had a number one album for eight months. M embers also watched French-Ca nadian dancers at the Civic Auditorium. " It was educational and interesting to learn Canadian history through folk dances," said Mary Ann Knott '81 . Spanish Club experienced a touch of Spain when they saw Mexican flam enco dancers perform at Boystown. Creating a spherical Mexican pinata form ed with balloons, w ire and brightly-colored crepe paper for their Christmas party, mem bers learned about Mexican traditions. " It was just a big ball w ith Merry Christmas in Spanish o n it and filled with candy," said Derek M cMains '81. "The funniest part was when Jeff Ouren about hit Mr. Lara when he swung at the pinata." In addition to educational activities, French, Spanish and German Clubs enjoyed outings just: for the fun of them. French Club, for example, went ice-skating at Ak-sar-ben. " It was fun because we chased each other all around the rin k, and I was the only one who had skated before," said Teresa Clark '81. Spanish Club's initiation w as filled w ith fun when new members were required to dance a solo for 30 seconds or eat baby food. "Ever - body felt pretty embarrassed, especially the ones who had to dance, but most of the people hammed it up," said Kathy Shill '81.

As the doors open, they hear only the tapping of typewriters, the clicking of computer keys and the hushed silence of an office busy at work. They have entered the world of big business, even if only as observers. Field trips, such as this one to Woodmen Tower, allowed members of Future Secretaries of America to view the world of business. "There's more to an office than I thought," said Jennifer Christians '80. " The number of machines surprised me." Before the trip, Pat Hood, a publi c relatio ns person from Nebraska College of Business, talked to the club about finding jobs. To earn money,. members sold candles and jewelry at Christmas.

We'll do anYthine to get to Chicai!o D reams turned into reality as Science Club members trecked to Chicago for a long awaited tour of famous museums. To raise money for the trip, members set off on a fund raising spree not equaled in years by a club of their size. They washed cars; raffled huge, homebaked, heart-shaped cakes; sponsored the zany Jerry Lewis movie, " Three On A Couch"; and sold Valentine ca rn at i o n s bearing romantic messages. " I really like the different activities," said Colleen Lyon '79. " It feels good to be supported by students instead of going into the community to ask for money or using our own money." On the trip, members toured the Museum of Science and Industry, the Field Museum, a planetarium and an aquarium on March 30, 31 and April 1 . " It was so much at once, so much to be learned," said Kathy Fennell '79. "And Chicago is a different world from any place around here. It was a great experience." The club also enjoyed the outdoors together. One night, they waited six hours by a fire on Kathy Fennell's farm for stubborn stars to come out. Another time, they used the farm's gentle hills and pastures for sledding. Not as active as Science Club, Electronics Club members studied ham radios in an effort to get their licenses. Members also studied computer programming and toured local radio station KQ98 for a behind-the-scenes look at electronics. " I joined the club to learn," said Kevin Maurice '81 , "and I am learning."

(RIGHT) learning the art . of communication W andering through unfamiliar halls covered with posters boasting Yellowjacket fame, Student Council members toured rival TJ. Instituted by Superintendent Raj Chopra, the exchange gave members a chance to experience life at TJ and to open communications between schools. "It was a good way to get better student relationships because it helped break the ice, and at least the students got to know each other," said Cory Peters '81. But communication between the AL Student Council and its own student body wasn't f$OOd. According to a random poll, only three out of 30 students were aware of the council's activities. "If they do something, they ought to report it. Otherwise, as far as anybody knows, they're not doing anything," said Peggy Rickert '79. Homeroom reports were supposed to be made after each Student Council meeting, but few of the members actually reported. " There are three Student Council members in m y homeroom and they don't report anything," said Julie Smith '81. Members' reasons for lack of communication Armed with a sample, sponsor Lucille Hoffman shows Seni or Class pres ident Shawn Palmer how the '79 Senior Class shirt will look.

" Some students go to the meetings, and that's as far as it goes," said Susan Farrell '79, Student Council president. "If members aren't excited about something themselves, they don't talk about it." Other members said they weren't organized to inform students. " If we distributed the minutes, the interested student w ould find out what we're doing," said John Jones '80. Debate Club, on the other hand, practiced the art of communication successfully as they debated energy and won nine trophies in tournaments. "Debating helps you learn a lot about the government," said Bernie Duis '80. Competing against up to 50 teams in a tournament, junior varsity debaters won one second and two third places, and novice w on tw o first places, one second, one fourth and two sixth places. "I think we reall y had an exceptional team overall this year," said Marsha Sigler, sponsor.

(BELOW) Loaded with moneYraisins ideas S upplied with seemingly endless bags of sponges and boxes of candy, some Thespian members spent over 75 hours trying to rai se money for their trip to Minneapoli s. Moneyraising brought man y fru stration s. Members spent a day decorating the auditorium for a junior high disco. " We even had a mirrored ball and a light show," said John Burke '80. But only 40 attended, giving Thespians a profit of a mere $40. In another unsuccessful effort, members sold ti ckets for two evening shows of " Tommy," hoping for a large profit. But the crowd was so small that after paying for the film, Thespians made no profit at all. They also gave a children's birthday party, complete w ith clown costumes and entertainm ent, but it didn't get advertised enough to make much money. " It wasn't successful, mainly because people didn't do their job," said Michelle Arterburn '80. Finally, there was enough money for o nly eight members to go to M inneapolis. They toured the Guthrie Thea tre and attended a workshop by the Orrea M ime Troupe. They saw plays such as "Camelot" and "What's up yours, Doc?" produced by theatre wo rkshops. "I learned a lot of things about the theatre. We met a mime artist who taught us techniques," said Penny Poffenbarger '81. Th espians also toured junior high s, performing scenes from the all-school play to promote the Drama Department. Some Thespians also ushered over a dozen tim es at the Orpheum, viewing plays and stars, such as "The Wiz," and Hal Holbrook. "I felt important to be around international stars," said Pam Acklie '80. Although National Honor Society was less active than Thespians, they tried new activities. "We wanted to help the school and do omething besides being on the record," said Jim Atkinson '79. Members baked over 400 cupcakes and charged students for a signed Christmas message sent with each cupcake. Their profits helped NHS contribute $25 to the Goodfellows, $25 to the Salvation Army and close to $-WO to the school shrubbery fund. thespians, national honor society 133 SWING CHOIR.

But for Swing Choir such performances were cut from almost 50 last year to between 15 and 20 this year. The decrease was due, in part, to fewer requests for performances from Council Bluffs organizations.

You never expect 1t to happen again, because it's a once in a lifetime experience," said Letha Hansen '80. Such were the impressions of the three AL orchestra members who advanced to All-State. To advance to All-State, members had to compete with over 6000 students for one of 205 chorus, band and orchestra places. "If you want to make All-State, you have to practice as much as you possibly can," Hansen said. Competition became easier for Terry Crompton '80, as he advanced to All-State for the second year in a row. "The second year, going to All-State was more like something I had to do than an honor," Crompton said. "Yet, I was impressed with the talent up there." Cathy Fletcher '80, violinist, also advanced to State. "It was great to be with people from all over the state," Fletcher said. "It was amazing to see students playing such difficult music." Orchestra members also prepared music for the Scholarship Concert. The profits gained provided a scholarship for a senior musician to be selected by orchestra members. In addition to preparing for All-State and the Scholarship Concert, the orches tra provided music for "The Wizard of Oz." Members practiced for a month before joining evening play rehearsals. "It was a challenging experience. W e practiced for 30 hours in addition to practicing during class," said Stephanie Peters '81 . Although not in the limelight as often as orchestra, Sophomore Ensemble, a group of 35 sophomores who worked together outside of their regular choir classes, also spent time preparing for concerts. They performed only a few times because they didn't organize until January. They sang at Baccalaureate and the Spring Concert. In addition to singing with Sophomore Ensemble, seven girls perform ed in a group they formed in junior high. Calling themselves the Entertain ers, they sang at luncheons, reunions and talent shows. "We've been singing together for two years because we enjoy going out and singing for people," said Jackie Gioiello '81 . The Entertainers hoped to make a record at the end of the year.

He mounts his skateboard and starts the wheels rolling. Pushing off, his body low and arms waving, he starts down the concrete mountain. He swerves to the bottom and back up again. His body sways as he eases into the concrete formation resembling a half pipe. Sizzling wheels plunge rapidly into the bowl, as he goes around and around at Concrete Wave's wild terrain on 84th and Grover. Nick's interest in skateboarding began in 1976, when neighborhood kids were riding them. He built his first skateboard of wood and roller skates. After practicing in his basement to keep his balance, Nick began practicing once every three weeks at Concrete W ave. But transportation confined him to neighborhood hills and schoolNick Kurt has a great time on his yards for daily two-to-three hour practices. Finally, last summer, he built a plywood ramp in his backyard. "I built it because it gave me more variation than street skating," Nick said. By looking at magazines and television and by watching other skaters, Nick learned stunts such as the Gorilla Grip, in w hich the skater takes his shoes off, grabs each end of the skateboard with his toes and jumps in the air. Nick tried teaching his mother and sisters to skateboard, but they didn't get the hang of it. "Mostly all it takes is practice, if you have the balance," Nick said. Because Nick had to pay $150 for two skateboards, he began building and selling boards for extra money. 11 1 sell them for $15 to $20, depending on how much time I put in," he said. As snow and ice covered the Wave during winter, Nick said he just dreamed about the spring. sophomores 147 Dawn Ri ckabaugh Raymond Ri ef Eileen Rin g Chu ck Rodenburg John Rogers Nancy Rogic T o ny Rois Tracy Ronnfeldt G ail Roush D enise Ro y er Conn er Ryan K evin Sass Pat Sc h erle Chris Schulz Kent Schupp Li sa Schwarzkopf Kar en Seid el Jerry Seyler T odd Sh anks Troy Shaw Julie Sh ea Ros ie Sh ea T ara Sh erman K athleen Shill Dani elle Shoe m a k er Ri c h ard Simm o ns Ja mes Sinn ott Tammy Slavin Jodi Smith Lau ra Smith Mark Smith Me lody Smith 148 sophomores Nature girl J ennifer Kinney '81, is more at home in the woods than in her living room watching television. Jenny has been a Girl Scout for nine years, serving as a group counselor at Camp Neyati for the last four years. Activities at the camp continue through the year, so instead of spending winter hours in front of the TV, Jenny braves the outdoors to camp and teach basic camp skills, such as building a fire, cooking, and identifying birds and animals. "I think it's really satisfying to help little kids learn something," Jenny said. On winter weekend campouts, Jenny's girls sing folk songs around the campfire, roast marshmallows, sled and just have a good time. "With the challenge it provides to keep warm, and the opportunity it offers to get away from it all, winter camping gives me a feeling of independence," Jenny said. In 1978, Jenny gained added independence when she was one of 40 girls in the nation to go to Big Horn, Wyoming, where she spent two weeks trail riding, backpacking, and camping. "It gave me the experience of working with others as a team, and enjoying fun and fellowship," Jenny said. Ready io start a toasty fir e, Jenny Kinney ga t h e rs twigs near h er h o me.

She has won 15 trophies, 28 medals and 5 plaques, ranging from first to third place. In June of 1974, Cathy began taking lessons once a week. "My mom thought it was a passing phase," she said, "but she knew I was serious when I began going to the rink six times a week." Cathy sa id she likes skating because she can incorporate music, dance and athletic ability in one sport. "I didn't have the time or money to take lessons for all three, but skating gave me a chance to do them all," she said. Cathy also said she enjoys the recognition she receives as a skater. " When I was in grad e school, I played the violin, but no one seemed interested," Cathy said. "Competitive skating, on the other hand, is something many people admire." Skating has given Cathy a chance to travel widely. She has competed in Indiana, Texas and Colorado. Of her first trip to St. Paul, Minnesota, Cathy said, "I think I was more intrigued with the trip than the skating." Cathy looks forward to competing in the nationals before going to college, where she plans to major in fashion designing o r music. 150 juniors Karen Belt Lori Berg Denise Black Don Blakeman April Bolton Craig Bothwell Roy Boyden Rhonda Bozek Cindy Brandon Lori Brooks Mike Brown Robin Brown Scott Brown Teresa Brown Jeanne Brunow Mike Buckmaster Bonita Burke John Burke Teri Burke Julie Button Barb Cain Dan Cain Luann Camp Ron Carberry Steve Carberry Penny Cary Lori Ceder Dana Chapman Lisa Christenson Jennifer Christians Cath•y Christiansen Dustin Christiansen Sharon Coenan Rhonda Cox Terry Crompton Matt Crowl Blair Cudmore Jane Dale Maggie Daley Bill Denny Toni DiBlasi Susan Dressel Dan Driver Doug Driver Bernie Duis Brenda Duncan Christy Durham Steve Eicher M ark Eigan Kathy Embry Julie Espinosa Susan Eyberg Sherri Fay Jim Ferguson Penny Flanery Cathy Fletcher janice Fl inn Cesar Flores Scott Fort All ison Gates Darcy Gearhart Shawn Gib on Lori Gigliodoro Charles Gilbert juniors 151 Single ring ceremony ends on '' I n this corner, wearing red and white, weighing 119 pounds is the winner of the Junior Golden Gloves . . . " Rick Scott '80, has heard that introduction many times. A boxer since the third grade, Rick started on a team sponsored by the Optimist Club. When he reached the fifth grade, his dad, a newcomer to boxing, started coaching him. They spent 12 hours a week building Rick's endurance. "Dad is behind me and boxing," Rick said, " but he doesn't want me to get serious." Rick plans to follow his dad's advice and not go pro, even though he has won 80 of the 100 matches he has boxed, captured the 1978 championship and placed twice as junior state runner-up. Rick is usually nervous when he enters the ring, but he said those feelings disappear when the bell rings. "All I think about is winningwhat I'm going to do next and how to do it," Rick said. Amidst the ringside shouting, he hears only his parents, who come to every match they can, yelling support as loudly as possible. "They make me want to try harder," Rick said.

They quieted to listen to Randy Utterback '80, play folk tunes on his guitar. His mellow sounds could be heard in a number of places ... in a warm, sunny park on a Sunday afternoon, at a good friend's party on a Friday night, or at home on a relaxing evening. Listeners said Randy has a natural way with music. " He's free with his music . . . really relaxed and natural," said Julie Oden '79. Although he took guitar lessons in 1971 and continued them for three years, Randy plays mostly by ear. "After three years of practice, playing started to come naturally," he said. Music provides a way of expressing feelings that I couldn't express any other way," he said. To express his unique feelings, Randy has composed five songs dealing with past experiences. One song expressed his regrets about a girl he met, but whose name he never kn ew. His interest in guitar was inspired by Johnny Cash and Glen Campbell, who play acoustic guitars. "I like the sound of acoustic rather than electric guitars because they have a more mellow sound," Randy said. "I'm just a flat-top picker." In addition to guitar, Randy plays fiddle, banjo, piano, harmonica and clarinet. He has played the guitar since he was six, and the fiddle since he was ten. "He can play anything he picks up," Steve Owen '79, said of Al's music man.

Dan Wohlers '80, is ready to meet his Judo competitor. He bows and the contest begins. As Dan throws his opponent into the air, the foe falls, smacking the Tatami. After holding his contestant's body still for 30 seconds, Dan is declared the Amateur Athletic Union Champion. Such wins are not unusual for Dan, a brown belt in Judo. Dan has been the Midwest Champion, and the second runner-up in the Junior Olympics. "I was looking for the gold medal, and I got the silver," Dan said. Nervous before each match, Dan gets psyched up to win. "I get butterflies," he said, " so I warm up and think about winning." Involved in Judo for ten years, Dan has traveled to New York, California, Colorado, Indiana and several midwestern states to compete. " I love the competition, I love to win, and I love to travel," he said. Dan's dad missed the chance to be involved in Judo himself, so he got Dan started. "Dad wishes he would have done it," Dan said. "He loves the sport." One reason Dan has stayed with Judo is his dedication to his instructor, Lou Carta. " Lou has taught me everything," Dan said. " I'm still perfecting some of the thousand possible throws." His ultimate goal is to become a m ember of the Pan American team, to travel around the Flipping Lou Carta is Dan Wohlers' way of practicing for a black belt at Iowa Western world and to be a champion.

Seated tensely in the saddle, gripping the reins in one hand and a lasso in the o ther, Scott Brooks watches the calf race out of the shoot. Scott springs out of the box, his horse following every move the calf makes. After lassoing the calf, Scott jumps off his horse and flips the struggling animal over on its side, tying three of its legs together with one hand. All this takes place in less than 12 seconds. Although Scott started calf roping only three and a half years ago, he has always admired rodeo cowboys. " I always wanted to be like Walt Garrison, a professional cowboy," he said. Practicing three hours every day from April through November has paid off. Scott has placed in the top six in half of the 25 rodeos he has entered. Although only top rodeo cowboys make large sums of money, Scott still wants to make rodeoing a career. " I want to be a rodeo cowboy for the glory, not the money," he said.

Kim has participated in golf since 1976, when, as the only girl on her Longfellow team, she picked up pointers through an adult education course. Since then, Kim has won over 20 awards, broken two city tournament records and become the first Council Bluffs girl to win Metro. " I get nervous before matches, and I don't sleep the night before," she said. Because she puts too much pressure on herself, she said art has provided a release. " My art gets me away from everything," Kim said. Her 1979 projects were done in clay. " I've done really weird things dealing with hell, fan - tasy, and the struggle for self-identity," she said. Kim would like to receive a college scholarship in golf and make it as a pro or an artist. "I'm not going to say I'm the greatest, I've got a long way to go," she said. 162 seniors In art class, Kim Mann creates a piece of pottery.

At Glenwood State Hospital, Darby took care of retarted patients from 9 to 16 years old. As Darby worked, he visited with patients. "Hi, How are you doing, John?" "Have you been good, Karen?" "What are you up to, Joe?" But because the patients' mental ages were less than one year, they could only smile. Most of the patients needed total care, so Darby did everything from dressing and undressing them to bathing and feeding them . "When I first started I was afraid of them, I didn't know how to feel," Darby said. "But once you get to know them, its easy to talk to them as you do everyone else." Darby chose the job as child development worker through the T & I program. When he took the job, he didn't realize what it would mean to him.

Many other crazy stunts both on and off stage, showed Jeff's humorous personality. According to Jeff, being the funny man has some disadvantages. "At times, I wish I wasn't a funny person, like when I'm not in the mood, but people still expect me to be funny," he said. "On the other hand, the atmosphere I'm in is usually happy, and I feel good when I can perk someone up," Jeff said. Jeff's mother told of how he lifted sp irits at home. "If it wasn't for Jeff, we'd all be down in the dumps most of the time," she said. His classmates agreed. "In any situation, you can always count on Baker to have something humorous to say," said Patty Thorn '80. "I've had people tell me I should be a co m edian, but I really don't think I'm that funny," Jeff said. " A lot of people have the same sense of humor as me, but I'm just squirrelly enough to show it." Hang loose! For one of hi s crazy stunts, Jeff Baker hangs from the balcony in the student lounge.

He carefully reaches in the box and picks up a frame of 1100 bees. Steve Benton '79, who has been working with bees for five years, enjoys his hobby even after being stung 50 times at once. "A friend asked me to watch his bees," Steve said. "I was taking a frame of bees out, and it got caught in the box. It was hard to go back." But even after being stung and after learning of his father's allergy to bees, Steve returned to his hobby. " I have 80 to 90,000 bees in the spring and summer," he said. · His work involves seeing that there is a queen bee, and no disease. " The queen lays 2000 eggs a day," Steve said. "She can live for six years, but I usually get a new one every other year." While the bees work making honey, Steve makes money selling it. The average year brings him $350.

He was born with cerebral palsy. "I just think of it as a small inconvenience," Don said. "There's no other way to think of it." Don had his only bad feelings about his handicap during his early teens when he and his family moved to Frankfurt, Germany, for three years. "It was a completely different surrounding," he said. " I felt like we just landed out of nowhere. I didn't know anyone." In that strange new land, Don said he would sometimes get the feeling he was being left out of things, but he usually got over those feelings quickly. "I'd just go find something to do by myself," he said. During his high school years at AL, students and teachers alike noticed Don's ability to accept his handicap, make the best of everything, and keep on smiling. "Don is always cheerful. It is rare that I hear him make a negative remark about anyone," said Dorothy Button, librarian. "He accepts people as they are, and he has a sense of humor about life and about himself. He has been an inspiring person to know." Mike Spoto '80, also noticed Don's cheerfulness. "There's never a day when he doesn't smile or a class where he's not laughing," he said.

During the season, she spent two nights a week practicing for games. "They play pretty well for beginners," Peggy said. "We've won one game, and that was against an undefeated team ."

Before teaching, Ross went to San Miguel Allende Art School in Mexico. Later, on her second trip around the world, she studied art in England under 25 teachers from other countries. During her long career, she shared many memorable experiences with students. She remembered the time a student threw away a painting he didn't like. After she retrieved it, they did repairs on it. She later learned it had won a gold medal in a New York art fair. After they graduated, students kept her informed. One wrote her telling of his job as a cartoonist for "Playboy." Other students wrote her that they had become art teachers.

She always showed me I could make anything into something good, if I were patient enough," said Pat McConeghey '79. "She let us be free and paint what we wanted," said Dave Telpner '80, who credited her with teaching him everything he knew about colors. After Ross retired, she hoped to teach young children in her home. She explained why it was so hard for her to give up teaching. "Art goes way back in our family," she said. "I think it was my destiny to become an art teacher." In her silent room, Berniece Ross uses her free hour to engage in painting, her favorite pastime.

Behind the door sat Dr. Ellen Simmons, assistant vice-principal, who came to AL fro m James Monroe High School in the Bronx. The wait to see Simmons w as sometimes long because her solution to discipline problems involved more than giving students quick lectures and having them sign referrals. Soon after school started, Simmo ns realized many students didn't know the rules because they had not read the student handbook. Her solution was simple. When a student was referred for an infraction, Simmons handed him the handbook, helped him find the appropriate section and then let him read for himself the consequences of his action. "One of the things I've tried to impress upon students is to be at peace w ith one another," Simmons said. "Each student should be able to walk down the halls without name calling or any other unpleasant thing happening." To help avoid unpleasantness, Simmons tried to get students to use " tongue power, not fist power." Students having disputes were called to her office to talk them out. Simmons believed she was successful . " I've had students admit they cut classes in the past, but this year they wouldn't think of cutting," she said. Some students agreed with Simmons.

(ABOVE) Strolling through the halls, a tall , dark-complected man would smile cheerfully, expressing friendliness and encouragement to the students and teachers he met. Dr. Raj Chopra, Council Bluffs' new superintendent, spent approximately 70 per cent of his time visiting schools. By visiting with students, he hoped to reach his goal of having 90 per cent of all students know him by the end of the school year. Students who got to know Chopra were im - pressed. "When I first met him, I thought he was just a projected image, but the more I was around him, I realized his attitudes and friendliness were genuine," said Lynn Damme '79. Teachers' reactions to Chopra were similar. " Personally, I'm very impressed by him," said instructor Mary Gepner. " I like the fact that he gets out and speaks w ith students and teachers, instead of shutting himself up in his office." When Chopra talked w ith students, he often spoke of their futures. " The future of Ameri ca depends on our youth," he sa id. Believing it was important to bring a po itive outlook to Council Bluffs, he often met w ith as many as 300 citizens, telling them what was good about the city and its schools. By maintaining an open door policy w ith his team of teachers and adm inistrators, he hoped educators could better fulfill their role of "ser - ing and inspiring youth." " I believe in young people," Chopra said.

HOU STON KRAS NE PITI:RCE HENDERSON One Hundr d ix TRIANGULAR TEAMS STEMLER O'DONNELL F. J . PALUKA, Coach WILSON MARI<'.S HANSON THOMAS C ARTER ASQUITH TRIANGULAR DEBATE Our tri a ng ular deba ters met with a fate thi yea r uncommon to A. L. H. S. debater - they suffe r ed a 2 a nd I defeat at the tongue of both ioux ity and Fort Dodge. There was a lot o f luck in the tria ng ular this yea r, but it all went against us. A. L. H . . d e ba tin g record, in recent years, is such th a t thi year's de fea t causes not a rippl e of di heartenment, nor do we need to offer any apologies fo r the outcome. It is un- usual circumsta nces tha t resulted in the unu ual outcome. The facts of the case are a s fo ll ow : A g reement wa s made to debat e the proposition of ha rd-surfaci.n g the prima ry road s o f th e state. Authorities at the tate U ni versit y ent u a version of the ques· ti n as o riginally worded by the State deba tin g League, which r ead, " Re solved, that the present hi ghway law be r epea led and an act substituted therefor pro,·idin g for the immediate hard- urfacing of all the primary roads by the State a nd providing .for a bond issue therefor. " On the aborve question our teams prepared, but 0 11 the day before the deba te it wa s learn ed tha t Fort Dodge and Sioux City had been given, and prepared on, a consid e rably diffe rent versio n, which r ead, " Resolved, that, by suitabl e and proper legislation, the State hould provide for the immediate hai·d-surfacing of th e primary roads a nd provide fo r a bond is uc therefo r. " Since A. L. H. S. was 111 the minority it had to g ive in a nd meet the other schools on the latter version. A s the scope a nd ground of the two versions was different, A. L. H . S. eba s \.Vere handicapped to a co nsiderabl e degree. They had to improvise a nd extempori ze a lmost throughout. This they did so well th a t in each instance one of th e three judges ca st his decision for them. U nder the a bove circumstances, it must be agreed with our coach Mr. Paluka. when he said that "This year's teams are stron ger than any that reprcs~nted C. B. in rcccn t years." The debate to.ck place on Jan~ ry 16th. Our affirmative, captained by J oe Hous- t o n , who was assisted by Roy H anso n and Frank Stem.lcr, met Fort Dodge on OL~r h ome platform. Joe had been a successful veteran of the previous year and his logic was hard to penetrate. Roy and Frank got one judge and their " ladi es and ge ntle- m en," at lea st, convinced tha t our primary roads should be paved. U nd er fair circumstances this trio ·would be extremely hard to beat. The negative trio that journeyed to Sioux City was composed of Philip Krasne. captain· Henry O 'Donnell and Marvin Thomas. Extemporizing a lmost throug hout, th ese b1 oys impressed one of the judges as hav ing clone the better work of the eve- ning . Captain Krasne was the undisp utablc star of the performance. H ad he had more time h e a lone could have defeated Sioux City on their own question. H en r y O'Donnell a nd Marvin T homas did remarkable work in the novel situation. T he training r eceived by the two above " first" teams was contributed to very largely by the m embers of the "second" teams: Helen \i\Ti lson F lora Marks, Esther He nderson, Haro ld A squith, Avery P ierce and Le Roy Carter. ' in ma ny a scrimmage the "seconds" shattered the plans o f th e first teams. To these fa ithful opponents the m.a jo r team s are greatly indebted. Thus closed our triangular debate-in an unusual 1,vay. "Old C. B." still g lori es in having defeated each F ort Dodge and Sioux City th1·ee out of the five possible time s w ithin the last fiv e fo rensic battles. To Mr. F. J. Paluka, our fa ithful and effici ent coach of th e past few yea r , we owe much for what w e are, and wish him success in his new fie ld. Good-bye! O ne Hundred Seve n / D.

One Hundr ed Nine EXTEMPORANEOUS CONTEST The Extemporaneous Speaking Contest has becom o ne of the prominen t fore n sic events of our school year. The in formation on current socia l q11e ti o n · gain ed by our students in preparation ther efor i of a w ide cope. As th e contest in its firs t stages, in our school is an inter-lite rary o cie ty affair, nea rly a hundred stude nts begin the research on the principle of the "survival of t he fittest. " Within th<: socie ties stages, in our school, is an inter-literary socie ty affair, nea rly a hundred stud e nts beg in Surviving as the fittest of their r especti socie ties this yea r, a nd m eeting in th e in ter-litera r y clash, were the following victors : H enry O'Donnell, a L go; P hil Kra ne, a Philo; Lorne Kennedy, a n Ari_ to; Paulin e Doll, a Clio; A udrey Kaa ', a n A lpha; Louise Swan, a Delta Tau, and Lucille Wesner, an E ro. vVith vim a nd v e rba l persistence each of the foregoing speakers very ably proved hi fitness. T h e judges for the occasion were Miss Rice, Mr. Paluka and Mr. Kirn. After the s moke had subsided and the air had cleared, P hilip Krasne, the Philo, was decla1·ed by the judges as the fittest of the able, and Henry O 'D onnell, Logo, as his closest riva l. The afor esaid d ecla ra tion make "Phil" our official A. L. H . S. r epr esentative in southweste rn Iowa contest, which was held a t Griswold, on April 27th. In the district contest at Griswold, twelve hig h schools were represented. Accompanied l)y M iss ,Robinson, P hilip journeyed to the conte t with his usual confidence, PHILI P KRASNE abi lity a nd tho1·ou g h prepa1·atio n - prepa1·ati o n in sofar as ideas are conce rn ed. From reports, "Phil's" reputa tion a s a speake1· h a d them a ll scared befo r e the contest. And well did they have t o feu, for his ability to "make the audience sit up and t a ke notice" is phenomenal. The contestants d1·ew their topics and were · given two hours t o plan the ir talk. It be fe ll "Phil" to speak about the Ku Klux K lan . Having firm personal conviction about the s ubj ect, an d adva ncing a r g ume nt that was irr efuta ble, he soon sha ttered Des Moines' aspiration to carry off h onors a nd emerge d as the winner of Southweste rn Iowa's forensic la urels. (This is the third consecutive year in wh ich our school won the district contest. J o hn McGee and Harold McComb brought the honor to us, respectively, in " 1921 a nd 1922. Each of the two a lso won second place in the state meet.) Having survived the district compet1t1o n, Philip became the r epr esentative of Southwester;"'row4,.. in the sta tL contest, subsequently, a t Iowa City. B ut this is w h ere fate depri vt!d us from a confident chance to w in the state hono rs. Due to ambig uity ' in the communication s.ent us r egarding the <la t e of the state encounter, o ur represen - tative rived at Iowa City too la te to take part in the competition. Autho rities at the nivcrsity s ub eq uently acknowledged their fau lt in the inde finit en ess o f the cornmun;cation, but nothing could be done to annul the results. We fee l, h owever, .' tha t we missed a fine chance to win first h onors in the state. But " the futur.e lie s before us."

The shape of th e symbo l is that of a diamond, a nd the letters, conforming to this shape, a rc just large e no ugh to b e plain a nd a t the same time most attractive.

Who 7-I am the official Abraham Lincoln news organ- a weekly paper of four pages, composed of a news page, an eel i to rial page, a !'eat tire pa g"l', and a humor and athletic page. When ?-I have made my appearance once ea ch wee k. on T h ursday. and a favorable one it was, especially at Christmas, Thanksgiving, Hall owe 'en and the week of the state basketball tournament, wh en six page pape rs we re issued. All records were broken when I appeared for the first time a11 ' ' Extra;' '-announcing the outcome of the senior election. Wh er e .-I am best known in the Abraham Lincoln high school, ::;ix th period rooms. What ?-I have made an endeavor to support all school activitie::; and boost all school movements. I held a subscription drive and a short story contest in order to create more interest and enthusiasm for a good, newsy paper. The all-girls' staff, the all-boys' staff, anfl the junior and ::;cnior staffs made me quite unusual. I have tried to uphold the ::;tandarcls and high ideals of the school; as, more democracy and better citizenship for the good of every boy and girl. My staff and their advisor, Miss ltice, have been a constant help to me toward the accomplishment of this purpose. How .-I am supported largely by our loyal business men of this city, who furnish my ads and make my life possible. My editor-in-chief', IJ erhert Read; my editors, Louise Williams and George Arnold; my reporters a 11d my business managers, Rae Williams and Lucienne La Rue, have don e th e r est.

For about forty years the author or compiler of this little book has been a more or less regular contributor to the columns of the Daily Nonpareil, at Council Bluffs, Iowa. During that period, — aspecially the latter part,—his writings have been chiefly reminiscences of early days at and near that city, where he resided in his boyhood and early manhood for twenty-one years—1853 to 1874. In September, 1915, he attended and read a reminiscent paper before a gathering of ''pioneers" and "early settlers" of Southwestern Iowa. The conversations that ensued indicated the existence of much discrepancy in memory among those in attendance and suggested the preparation of this work. Entering upon the necessary research the writer soon discovered that not only was his memory defective, but that, in some instances, it presented things that never existed,—mere figments of imagination. He found, also, that others were afflicted in the same manner; that some who had essayed the task of "history writers" had become, so to speak, "makers of history" by introducing into their works as real some of those imaginary things, and by setting down as facts mere inferences, deductions and assumptions. Thereupon he resolved that nothing should be stated as a fact in this work that might not be authenticated by either conclusive or very convincing evidence, and in the preparation of this booklet he has been controlled and guided by that resolution. While it has not been possible to secure absolutely conclusive testi- mony in support of each and every incident herein recorded, and some inferences, deductions and assumptions have been unavoidable, he has endeavored tc present only such of these as may be corroborated or sustained by reasonably strong circumstantial evidence, and where introduced they are distinctly set down for what they are. Where matters are stated as facts, they are facts. Instead of simply stating the facts in his own language and re- ferring in footnotes to the authorities from whence they have been gleaned, as per the custom of professional historians, the writer has incorporated and quoted the original sources ; in other words, he has allowed the authorities to tell their own stories, and has merely 6 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS pointed out to those who may wish to pursue the matter what the authorities are and where they may be found. It is his belief that this course will prove more satisfactory to the general reader, to whom the source of many quotations and citations made are absolutely unattainable. Some of the matters quoted have never before been published in any form, and the records containing them are not con- veniently accessible to the general public. It is not the purpose of this work to present a commercial and personal history of early days at Council Bluffs, its scope being re- stricted to substantially the period between the coming of the Potta- wattamie Indians to Southwestern Iowa and the general exodus of the Latter Day Saints from the locality—that is between 1835 and 1853, though for the completion of some subjects events as late as 1857 are necessarily incorporated.

EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS Sarpy's Ferry, f MAP OF THE VICINITY OF COUNCIL BLUFFS EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS MAP OF THE VICINITY OF COUNCIL BLUFFS. This map, or diagram, has been prepared from the plats of surveys made in 1851-1852 by the United States Government, and from other sources of information deemed reliable. It shows the west two-thirds of each of the townships 74 and 75, range 43, and all of each of the fractional townships 74 and 75, range 44. All points laid down thereon, except Camp of Mormon Battalion, Hart's Trapping Station, Caldwell's Village, and Omega Landing — 1843, are fixed in accordance with the records of the General Laud Office. The locations of the Old Blockliouse and Caldwell's Village have been indicated from records found in the Indian Bureau and War Department, and various concurrent sources of information. The locations of the Omega Landing and Hart's Trapping Station are shown as supposed to be from historical writings found to have bearing in relation thereto. The Camp of the Mormon Battalion is shown to be located as indicated upon information by Rev. Henry De Long, and by writings of Colonel Thomas L. Kane and others made at the time. The authorities are more fully described in the text of the book. EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS. About the beginning of the nineteenth century the site of the present city of Council Bluffs, Iowa—(longitude 18° 48' west from Washington, 95° 50' west from Greenwich, and 41° 15' north lati- tude)—was occupied by the village of a tribe or band of aborigines known as the ''Ayauway (Iowa) Indians" which is mentioned in the "History of the Expedition of Captains Lewis and Clark, 1804-5-6; reprinted from the edition of 1814; with Introduction by J. K. Hosmer. Chicago. A. C. McClurg & Co. 1902", and indicated on a map accompanying that work. It appears from the journal of the expedition kept at the time that Captains Lewis and Clark camped July 27, 1804, on the west (right) bank of the Missouri river, slightly to the north and west from the point at which the original town was located some forty-two years later. The name is derived from "Council Bluff", a hill near the present village of Fort Calhoun, Nebraska, at the foot of which was held a council with some Indians by Lewis and Clark. Their journal says :— "The incidents just related induced us to give this place the name of the Council Bluff." Subsequently "the Council Bluff" was used by early traders, trappers and navigators of the Missouri river, and by government officials, to indicate the site of that council, and later the final word became pluralized and the term "the Council Bluffs" was applied to the entire region of country between the Council Bluff and the mouth of the Platte river, the designation appearing upon all, or nearly all, early maps in connection with the range of hills on the west (right) bank of the Missouri river between the points mentioned. The early history of the region contains very little regarding the territory on the east (left) bank of the river, because that history relates, primarily, to the affairs of the several fur companies doing business along the stream, and, with the solitary exception of the trading establishment of Robidoux, Papin, Chouteau & Berthold, at the mouth of the Nishnabotna, none of the trading houses were on that side. When an Indian agency for the Otoes, Pawnees and Omahas was 10 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS established at Bellevue, where previously a sub-agency under the Agent at Fort Leavenworth had existed, it became known as "the agency of the Council Bluff", and subsequently as the Council Bluffs agency. B3' treaty of September 26 and 27, 1833, the Pottawattamie Indians of Illinois and Indiana, together with the Chippewas and Ottawas, with whom they were affiliated, ceded their possessions in those States and were assigned territory for a new home in southwestern Iowa, but through errors of the emigrating agents those who removed in 1835, 1836 and early 1837 were carried into territory now in the northwestern part of the State of Missouri, opposite and near to Fort Leavenworth. They were removed to their own lands, in Iowa, in 1837, and the Council Bluffs Sub-agency was established at a point about one mile above the mouth of the Platte river, on the east (left) bank of the Missouri, which was under the jurisdiction of the agency at Bellevue. Later (about 1843) the sub-agency offices were moved up the river to Point aux Poules (Point of the Pulls), opposite Bellevue, afterward known as Trader's Point, and there are indications that, before those Indians removed from the region, the sub-agency offices were removed to or near what was after- ward known as Council Point. A trading post was established at Trader's Point about the time that the Pottawattamies came to the country which was known as Hamilton's, and Peter A. Sarpy, agent for the American Fur Company at Bellevue, soon afterward opened a branch of his concern at the same place. There is tradition, supported by much circumstantial evidence of convincing character, to the effect that one Hart or Heart had a trading or trapping station at an early day (some say as early as 1824, and the writer here believes it was established before that), at or very near the site of the present city of Council Bluffs, and that the adjacent hills, as well as those in and among which the original town was built were, for that reason, known to the early traders, trappers and navigators of the Missouri river as "Hart's Bluffs" (Cotes a Hart). No record has been found to indicate in any manner that this Mr. Hart was in any way connected with the American Fur Company or any of its predecessors, subsidiaries or successors; nor does his name appear in any of the published official lists of independent traders licensed or granted permits by the United States government. If he were a white man trading on his own account with the Indians EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS 11 in the vicinity without a license, he would have been reported to the Indian Department by the other traders upon whose privileges he would have been intruding, such as Roye, on the site of the original city of Omaha; Pratt, on the site of Florence; Cabanne, a few miles above, and Manuel Lisa, near the old Council Bluff. But there is no record of such proceeding. It seems to be a fact, nevertheless, that someone named Hart or Heart did conduct a trading house or trapper's station at the indi- cated point prior to 1832. As late as 1843 notes in the American Fur Company's steamboat logs bore mention of "Hart's Cut Off" and "Hart's Bluffs". The precise spot on which Hart's establishment stood is not positively known, and may not at this late day be located with absolute certainty. In Annals of Iowa (Volume 9, page 526, 1870-1871) D. C. Bloomer said that a trading point — "was situated as early as 1824 at what was in those days known as 'Hart's Bluffs', from a Frenchman who located there, and which is found upon inquiry to have been a place in the city of Council Bluffs known as Mynster Spring. ' ' Hon. B. F. Gue, in his "History of Iowa", writing of Pottawattamie County, said: "The first town laid out was called Hart's Bluff and stood on the present site of Council Bluffs." Unfortunately neither of these historians gave any tangible authority or source of information upon which his statement was based, and those of the latter were probably simply appropriated from the works of earlier writers. Surely there is no evidence now extant to confirm the fact that a "town was laid out" at the point and time referred to by Gue. He probably misread the writing of some earlier historian to whom he failed to give credit. Mr. Bloomer's statement is founded, manifestly, upon tradition and hearsay. He says, "which is now found upon inquiry", but does not say of whom inquiry was made. It might be inferred from other matter in the article quoted that he derived his information from Mr. Francois Guittar, who had long been familiar with the locality. Even if this inference be correct, the facts are not conclusively established. Although Mr. Guittar may have mentioned Mynster Spring as the site of Hart's establishment, he used that object as the place 12 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS most prominent in the vicinity of Hart's plant, without meaning that it was the precise spot. There was then no suitable site immediately at the spring for a trading house. The best evidence found by the writer tending to convincingly prove that Hart's trading house was near the site of the present city of Council Bluffs, is contained in a letter addressed to A. D. Jones, of Omaha, by Father De Smet, December 28, 1867. Mr. Jones submitted to the celebrated Missionary several inquiries, of which one, with the answer, was as follows: — ''(Question) There is an earthen remain of fortifications on the east bank of Omaha ; do you know who built it ? " (Answer) The remains alluded to must be the site of the old trading post of Mr. Heart. When it was in existence the Missouri river ran up to the trading post. In 1832 the river left it, and since that time it goes by the name of 'Heart's Cut-Off', leaving a large lake above Council Bluffs City." (See Chittenden and Richardson's De Smet, Volume 4, Page 1353; also Volume I, Nebraska Historical Society's report.) The writer of this work resided at Council Bluffs from June 4, 1853 to June 4, 1874, continuously, and from about 1855 or 1856 to the date last-before mentioned was very familiar with the lake referred to—called Big Lake—now Iowa Lake—and with its surroundings, having hunted game all around its shores and over the adjacent hills. Mynster Spring, lies back in the hills a short distance from the eastern shore of the old river bed—the original lake bed—and less than one-half mile to the north and east, over a high and sharp ridge —"hog back"—there was a confluence of two other live springs of lesser importance and smaller water flow, situated in a broad valley among the bluffs, from wiiich flowed a brooklet of fair proportions that entered the original lake bed, from which the water had partly receded, probably one hundred yards north from where the Mynster Spring came out of its little gorge, and followed along the foot of the bluff for a considerable distance northwesterly entering the shrunken lake an eighth of a mile or more above the mouth of the Mynster Spring branch, the trend of the latter being southwesterly from the foot of the bluff where it emerged. At the confluence of springs just mentioned—less than a half mile from the lake shore as it was in 1855, and much nearer the original bank—were the remains of buildings of considerable size, surrounded, or partly so then, by what appeared to have been a sod fence within EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS 13 the enclosure of which had been included the meeting of the springs. The area of land embraced in the original enclosure had been two or more acres, and there were indications that at a period long before the enclosed land, together with quite a quantity outside of the enclosure, had been cultivated. When passing through this place for the first time, accompanied by his father, on a duck-hunting trip to the lake, the writer was informed that the remains mentioned marked the site of an old Indian trading post. This site corresponds very closely with Father De Smet's all too brief reference to "Heart's trading post", and does not seriously conflict with the location described by Mr. Bloomer. At the time to which reference is here had nearly twenty-five years had elapsed subsequent to the change of river channel by which were formed the lake and cut-off mentioned by Father De Smet in his letter to Mr. Jones. During that period the waters of the lake had been receding and the springs had been busy carrying down from the hills and depositing large quantities of silt upon the delta—part of the old river-bed lake— so that considerable land had been formed between the bluff and the then existing lake shore. If as the writer verily believes, Hart's establishment was located at the confluence of springs above mentioned, the line of the bluffs being the shore of the river at the time the post was erected—perhaps thirty years or more before the writer saw the place—the trapping station was only a short distance from the river bank. The ' ' remains ' ' referred to by Father De Smet are believed to be the same as mentioned herein as a "sod fence"; and that the place was "the site of the old trading post of Mr. Heart", is not improbable. It must not be assumed that the term "Hart's Bluffs" of the early traders and voyageurs was applied to any one bluff or hill in particular, but rather to the entire range of bluffs extending from the Indian' creek delta, wherein the original town of Council Bluffs was built, to the delta above, through which Pigeon and Honey creeks and the Boyer river pass out from the hills and into the Missouri. The same mentioned by Lewis and Clark as "the first highlands that approach the river on that side since we left the Nodaway". So while it is not conclusively established, there is at least very convincing evidence to indicate, that the first distinctive name given to the site of the present city of Council Bluffs; that by which it was designated and differentiated by the traders, trappers and steamboat 14 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS men from other similar situations along the Missouri river, was "Hart's Bluffs". Who was this "Hart" or "Heart" whose name became attached to the locality in question ? Messrs. Bloomer, Gue, and others whose works relating to the place have come under the inspection of the writer, all say that he was a "Frenchman". However, none of them give any authority for the assertion, nor does any of them appear to have definite knowledge respecting him. Their information about him is vague, to say the least, and apparently based entirely upon hearsay, legend and tra- dition. A most diligent and careful search of the governmental and other records pertaining to the early traders and trappers operating in this region, as far back as 1810, fails to disclose anything by which the identity of "Hart" or "Heart" may be indubitably established. Incorporated in "Thwaite's Early Western Travels" is the report of Long's Expedition to the Rocky Mountains, by Dr. Edwin James, secretary. In that portion of the paper relating to the "Winter Cantonment", near "Camp Missouri"—(otherwise known as Port Atkinson and Fort Calhoun) —has been found (Vol. 14, Chap. 9, page 250) a possible identification of the mysterious person from whom the names of "Hart's Bluff" and "Hart's Cut Off" may have been derived. It is the following : — "The principal Iowa chief was once at our camp; he is a very intelligent Indian, with solemn dignity of deportment, and would not deign to enter our houses or even to approach them until invited. He is said to have more intimate knowledge of the manners of the whites than any other Indian of the Missouri and to be acquainted with many of the words of our language, but will not willingly make use of them fearing to express himself improperly, or not trusting his pronunciation. He remained near Council Bluffs in the autumn, in order to be present at the councils with the different nations, and to observe the conduct of the whites toward them respectively, a considerable time after his nation had departed down the river to their beaver trapping. After this he went with his family to the headwaters of the Boyer, and during their stay there trapped 163 beaver; when with us he was about to go in search of his people. . . . "This Indian is known by several names, as Grand Batture, Hard Heart, Sandbar, and, in his own language, as Wang-ewaha. During our late contest with Great Britain he turned EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS 15 his back upon his nation in consequence of their raising the tomahawk upon our citizens, and, crossing the Missouri, united his destiny with the Otoes, Last autumn his nation joined him and submitted to his guidance; so that the Otoes, Missouries, and lowas were then united." One of the parties who signed the treaty of October 15, 1836, at Bellevue, by which the lowas, Otoes and Missourias completed the cession of the triangle of land in northwestern Missouri known as the ' ' Platte Purchase ' ', was ' ' No Heart ' ', whose aboriginal name does not appear; and he signed as an Iowa Chief. From "Hard Heart" to "No Heart" is not a far change, nor would it be a surprising one. The terms have practically the same significance and were readily interchangeable under the circumstances of the lives of those people. It was of the winter of 1819-1820 that Dr. James wrote, after or during which, the Indian mentioned "went with his family to the headwaters of the Boyer" and engaged in trapping. In the legends and traditions relating to "Hart's trading house at the site of Council Bluffs" the date of its founding is said to have been "as early as 1824". Now, a study of the topography of the country adjoining the Boyer river valley should make it clear that, at no point other than that herein set out as the probable site of ' ' Hart 's trading or trapping station" would there then have been found as good accommodations for such an establishment. There is no other place on the east (left) side of the Missouri river within one hundred miles of the mouth of the Boyer, where at that time existed so fine a situation for the trading or trapping station of one operating in that region ; well protected as it was from weather, as well as against the encroachment of enemies or competing operators, immediately on the bank of the Missouri and only a few miles below the mouth of the Boyer. No stretch of imagination is required, nor is it a violent presumption, to assume that this "intelligent Indian chief" who expatriated himself and became affiliated with the Otoes, in whose country the site mentioned then was, actually established his headquarters at that point; and the fact that he was known to be in occupancy thereof and operating a trading or trapping station there, would have furnished good reason for the application of the names "Hart's Bluffs" to the adjacent hills and of "Hart's Cut-Off" to the new channel formed by the Missouri river when it receded to the westward. There appears 16 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS to the writer good presumptive evidence to support the belief that this Indian gave the locality its name. In 1837 the Pottawattamie, Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, removed from Illinois and Indiana, who had been residing upon what was known as the "Platte Purchase", in Missouri, were brought to their new homes in Iowa, and the Village of one of their principal chiefs, Billy Caldwell, became located and a blockhouse was undoubtedly erected on the very site of the present city of Council Bluffs. Billy Caldwell died there September 27, 1841. (See Pottawattamie Indians.) May 31, 1838, a Jesuit Mission was established at the place by the renowned Father Pierre-Jean De Smet, in connection with which the blockhouse was used. Father De Smet was transferred elsewhere in 1839 and in July or August, 1841 the mission was abandoned. (See Old Blockhouse.) Mr. J. N. Nicollet, accompanied by Lieutenant John C. Fremont, of the Corps of Topographical Engineers, made explorations in the Missouri river valley in 1838 and 1839, and the place now occupied by the city of Council Bluffs was referred to in the report of the ex- pedition published by the War Department in 1843, as "Camp Kearney", which, it is believed by the writer, was the name given by the explorers to their engineer encampment in that vicinity, although no specific mention of such encampment has been found. In 1842 a company of dragoons, under the command of Captain John H. K. Burgwin, was sent from Fort Leavenworth to protect the Pottawattamie Indians against threatened attack by the Sioux. Its encampment, named "Camp Fenwick" which was afterward changed to "Fort Croghan", was located somewhere in the vicinity of the old steamboat landing, about five miles south of the site of the old block- house; but, on account of high water, was removed in the spring of 1843 to the highlands, and was abandoned October 6, 1843. (See Fort Croghan.) Upon the arrival of the Mormons, June 14, 1846, on their way to the "New Zion", a battalion of troops was recruited from their number at the site of the present city of Council Bluffs and sent to the Mexican war, and a semi-permanent camp was established at the place by the emigrating Latter Day Saints. One of their number, Henry W. Miller, settled a short distance west from the old block- house, where a village soon took form and was given the name "Miller's Hollow". EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS 17 Upon petition presented by Brigham Young a postoffice named "Kane" was established at Miller's Hollow January 17, 1848, and at a conference meeting of the Saints held April 8, 1848, in the "Log Tabernacle" at Miller's Hollow, a resolution was adopted changing the name of the village to "Kanesville". This action was taken in honor of Colonel Thomas Leiper Kane, who had befriended the Mormons in many ways. Col. Kane was born at Philadelphia, January 27, 1822; was son of John Kintzing and Jane Duval (Leiper) Kane. His father was a prominent lawyer of Philadelphia and Washington and an adviser of several Presidents of the United States, in- cluding Andrew Jackson. Another son, Elisha Kent Kane, became quite well known on account of his explorations in the Arctic. Colonel Kane visited the Mormon settlement at Commerce (Nauvoo), Illinois, in 1847, and was with the Saints at Council Bluffs in 1846 when the brigade was recruited for the Mexican war. He went to Salt Lake in 1858, with letters from President Buchanan, and assisted in settling the "Mormon War". In April, 1861, he raised a regiment of hunters and lumbermen which became known as the ' * Bucktails ' ' ; was several times wounded during the war of the rebellion, on account of which he resigned in 1863. He founded the town of Kane, in northwestern Pennsylvania; was author of "The Mormons" (1850); "Alaska" (1868); Coahuila (1877). He died at Philadelphia December 26, 1883. (See The Mormons.) The population of Kanesville was increased by more than one hundred per cent, by the influx of Saints from Winter Quarters, abandoned in the spring of 1848, and the place gained a number of business houses, some of which became quite prominent in after years. The population is said to have approximated seven thousand in 1849. In 1852 Apostle Orson Hyde, who had been in charge of Latter Day Saint affairs since the abandonment of Winter Quarters, departed from Kanesville, and with him went every Mormon whom he could induce to follow, and the population became greatly decreased. It was probably not in excess of two thousand or twenty-five hundred in the spring of 1853. On page 8 of Field and Reed's "History of Pottawattamie County," referring to the Mormon occupancy of the place, it is said : — "At this time everything was controlled by the church. Idle- ness and dissipation were not tolerated. There was no jail nor need for one." 18 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS This accords with information given the writer by persons who were there at the time ; but, when he went there, in 1853, a marked change had occurred. There were numerous drinking and gambling places, running "wide open", the most pretentious of which was called the "Ocean Wave" on the site now occupied by the Methodist Episcopal Church, at the junction of Broadway and First street. Nor was gambling confined to the houses devoted to the purpose, all of which were named, "Humboldt", "Bloomer", &c. ; but, during emigration days, when passing "pilgrims" were numerous, the professionals oc- cupied the sidewalks where they dealt many kinds of "sure-thing" games—"thimble rigging", "ehuck-a-luck", "monte", etc., using empty packing boxes upturned for tables, stacked upon which might frequently be seen hundreds of dollars in gold coin to catch the eye of passers by. There was little manufacturing in the very early days ; commercially none. Of course there were artisans of various kinds: shoemakers, blacksmiths, wagon makers, etc., but theirs was chiefly custom work and repairing. The first saw and grist mill was built by the Pottawattamie Indian Chiefs in 1841 from their own funds, the government having failed for more than three years to keep its promise to them in this respect. It was located on Mosquito creek, about two-and-one-half miles north and east from the site of Billy Caldwell's village and the old block- house, and was known as the "Pottawattamie Mill" while operated by or for the Indians. Afterward it was called "Wicks' Mill", and, finally, "Parks' Mill". In 1848 Madison Dagger built a grist mill at the foot of the bluff, in the western part of the Mormon settlement, less than a half mile north of the site of the present Federal Building. Its power was derived from Indian creek, the water being led by a race from the original channel at Benton street, along what were then known as Green and Race streets, to the mill site. Afterward machinery for manufacturing lumber was added. The field notes of the government survey, made in November, 1851, mention a saw mill on section 11, township 75, range 44. It was probably built early in 1851 by either Cornelius Vooriiis or Stephen T. Carey or by them jointly, being at times given the name of each — "Voorhis Mill" or "Carey Mill"—and sometimes as " Carey-Voorhis Mill ' '. They made a joint purchase from the government of the land upon which it stood. Its power came from a spring that issued from EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS 19 the hills there, and near by were quarries of limestone, and several kilns for calcining the product. How long it was in operation no dis- covered record discloses. It was in ruins when first seen by the writer, in 1855. It stood at the then extreme head of " Big Lake ". ^. The writer has been informed that the little powder house which in early days was perched upon the top of the high bluff on the south side of Pierce street, between South First street and Park Avenue, was built of bricks made in "Duck Hollow" in 1848. His memory recalb the fact, however, that it was commonly reported, in 1853, that the bricks for its construction were brought by boat from St. Louis or St. Joseph. There was no other brick building in the town in the spring of 1853. The fii'st brickyard of commercial importance was established early in 1853 and was located not far from Dagger's mill. From bricks made there was constructed the first brick building (excepting the powder house) erected within the limits of the city. It was a one-story, two-room structure; owned by W. C. James and built with his own hands except as to carpentery. Its first occupant was the United States Land Office, in the late summer or fall of 1853. My father was then Register and Dr. Enos Lowe was receiver. Each office oc- cupied a room. Subsequently the ownership passed to Gardner ("Gid") Robinson, by whom it was enlarged and for many years occupied as a residence. It is said that the Felileral Building now covers the site. No steam ferry existed at Council Bluffs until 1854, when the Iowa and Nebraska Ferry Company was organized and placed in service a small boat named the ' ' Nebraska. ' ' The president of the company was Samuel S. Bayliss, and when a larger boat was required a few years later, it was named for his youngest daughter, ' ' Lizzie Bayliss ' '. Prior to the establishment of this ferry line regular steamboats plying the Missouri river, especially those built for the fur trade on the Upper Missouri, visited the place at the season of emigration and carried emigrants, all called "pilgrims" in those days, across the stream. Such fact is mentioned by Captain Joseph La Barge in the work relating to his life and adventures elsewhere quoted and cited in this work. (See History of Early Navigation on the Missouri River, Life and Adventures of Joseph La Barge.) Subsequent to the abandonment of the De Smet mission ( 1841 ) and until the arrival of the Mormons (1846), no church organization of any kind was represented among the Pottawattamies of the region. 20 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS The Indians were without school teachers or religious instructors. In 1851 a small organization of Congregationalists and Methodists was formed under the leadership of Revs. G. G. Rice and Wm. Simpson, which occupied rented quarters for use as a chapel. The first church edifice erected by "gentiles" was due to the efforts of Elder Moses F. Shinn, who persistently solicited in the highways and by ways until sufficient funds were raised to erect the small frame structure known as the Methodist Church which for many years stood on Pierce street, between Park Avenue and First street, where it was built in 1854, Under act of Congress of August 22, 1852 (10 Stat., 26), the United States established at Kanesville, September 2, 1852, a land office, for which Joseph H. D. Street and Dr. Samuel M. Ballard were commissioned Register and Receiver, respectively. Delay in preparation of necessary books deferred the beginning of land sales, however, until March 12, 1853. The office name was changed to Council Bluffs in 1855. The office was discontinued May 13, 1873. Subsequent Registers were Lysander W. Babbitt, James Pollard, Lewis S. Hills (democratic) ; Frank Street, Sylvanus Dodge, N. Baldwin (republicans) ; the Receivers were Enos Lowe, A. H. Palmer (democrats), and Dexter C. Bloomer (republican), the latter serving from April 2, 1861, to dis- continuance of the office—twelve years. An act of the State legislature (approved January 19, 1853, to become effective after publication) authorizing the change of name from Kanesville to Council Bluffs, became operative February 9, 1853. (See Sess. Laws, 4th Gen. Ass., Chap. 43, page 72.) By legislative enactment of January 24, 1853 (Sess. Laws, 4th Gen. Ass., page 108), entitled "Incorporation of Council Bluffs City", incorporation under the name Council Bluffs was authorized. Many letters of business men immediately following incorporation were dated and bore the printed heading "Council Bluffs City". This act became operative immediately upon its passage; so, the city was in- corporated before legal change of name occurred. Although not strictly within the purpose of this work to make special mention of individual citizens of Council Bluffs, except as merely incidental to some other matter, it is deemed proper to state that, in 1853, Grenville M. Dodge became one of her citizens, afterward becoming a prominent figure in the history of the United States, earning the military title of Major General in the War of the Rebellion and serving with great distinction as Chief Engineer in the construction of the Central Branch of the Union Pacific Railroad. EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS 21 In a biographical sketch published in connection with his obituaryit was stated that he ' ' discovered the South Pass ' ' through the RockyMountains; but history accords that honor to Etienne Prevost, about the year 1832. The pass was well known to and used by the fur companies operating in that region at an early day, and it was through information and sketch maps obtained from them that Brigham Young, with his exploring party, was aided in finding his way by that route to Great Salt Lake in 1847. By act of Congress, approved April 6, 1854 (10 Stat., 273), it was provided — "That the judge of the county court, as such, for the county of Pottawattamie, in the State of Iowa, be, and he is hereby, authorized to enter at the proper land office, by paying therefor, at the rate of one dollar and twenty-five cents the acre, the west half of the southwest quarter of section thirty, the west half of the northwest quarter of section thirty-one, in township number seventy-five, north of range forty-three west ; the southeast quarter and the east half of the southwest quarter of section twenty-five, and the northeast quarter and the east half of the northwest quarter of section thirty-six, in township seventy-five, north of range forty-four west, in said State of Iowa, in trust for the several use and benefit of the occupants thereof, according to their respective interests; . . . ." Under which authority Frank Street, then county judge, made what is known as the townsite entry of "Kanesville" or '^ Council Bluffs", May 10, 1854. Prior to this, however, on June 3, 1853, Cornelius Voorhis, who had been elected Mayor of the recently incorporated city, applied to ". . . purchase in trust for the benefit of the occupants of said city, the NWi^SWi^ of section No. 30, in Township No. 75, north of Range No. 43 west, and the SE14 and the SEi/i SW14 of section No. 25, and the NE14NW14 and the Northwest quarter of the Northeast quarter of section No. 36, all in Township No. Seventy-five North of No. 44 West, in the district of lands subject to sale at Kanesville, Iowa ; . . . which lots of land above described contain Three Hundred and Fourteen Acres and Fifty Hundredths. ' ' This application was rejected on the ground, chieflj', that no law existed authorizing entry in that manner; but also because protest against allowance thereof had been made by the Bishop of the Diocese of Dubuque, who claimed for the Catholic Church ownership to twenty 22 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS acres in the WI/2SW14 of said section 30, on which stood the old blockhouse formerly occupied by the De Smet mission; the claim of the church being based upon the language of Article IX, of the Potta- wattamie treaty of 1846. This building stood upon the SWi^SW^^ of section 30, and it is presumed that said tract was omitted from the Voorhis application for the purpose of avoiding controversy. In connection with the church protest proceedings were had before the General Land Office and the Bureau of Indian Affairs, which were pending at the time Judge Street's entry was made, serving to suspend action thereon and preventing issue of patent for the townsite until April 20, 1883, almost precisely twenty-nine years from date of entry. (See Old Blockhouse.) A survey of the townsite, as entered by Judge Street, was made by Thomas Tostevin, in 1854, delimitating the boundaries of the holdings of the several occupants of the land, which served as the basis for all deeds of conveyance executed by the county judge thereafter, and upon which now rest all land titles within that portion of the present city. Prior to 1857 newspapers, or publications having general subscription circulation, were established as follows : Frontier Guardian, by Orson Hyde, 1849; Weekly Western Bugle, by Almon W. Babbitt, 1850 ; Council Bluffs Chronotype, by W. W. Maynard, 1854 ; Democratic Clarion, by A. P. Bentley, 1855. The Guardian was absorbed by the Bugle ; the Chronotype and Clarion died natural deaths; the Bugle was discontinued in 1870, being suc- ceeded by the Council Bluffs Times, which died a lingering death a year or so afterward. The Weekly Nonpareil was established in 1857 by Maynard and Long; developed a daily edition during the civil war, and is still "doing business at the old stand". The first dramatic performance at Council Bluffs was by amateurs, "The Forrest Dramatic Association", in 1856. Babbitt's Hall, in the old Phoenix Block, was fitted with stage and George Simons painted the scenery. The opening bill was "The Forest Rose" and "Paddy Miles' Boy". Many of the leading citizens participated in the performances of the association, which continued for two or three years when the field was abandoned to professionals represented by traveling combinations. EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS 23 SKETCH MAP OF THE POTTAWATTAMIE COUNTRY 24 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS SKETCH MAP OF POTTAWATTAMIE COUNTRY. The Sketch Map from which this diagram is taken—slightly larger than this copy—was made at or near Council Bluffs in 1837 by Dr. Edwin James, the first Sub-Agent in charge of the Pottawattamie Indians in Iowa, to accompany the first official report (August 11, 1837,) submitted by him to General William Clark, Superintendent of Indian Affairs at St. Louis, and was by the latter forwarded to the Secretary of War, then in charge of Indian Affairs, with a letter dated September 20, 1837. It will be remembered that at the time the sketch map was made no survey of any character had been made of the country to which the map relates; that Dr. James made the drawing entirely from his own observation and from information derived from trappers and others who had partially explored the region. Taking into consideration these facts the map is wonderfully accurate. The original of this map is in the office of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, Washington, D. C. (Pottawattamie File "C"). Notice the name "Welch's Creek" applied to what is now called Pigeon. It was named "Indian Knob Creek" by Lewis and Clark, and is shown on Nicollet's map of 1843 as "Gopher Creek." THE POTTAWATTAMIE INDIANS. By treaty executed July 15, 1830 (7 Stat., 328-332), territory on the Missouri river, now embraced in southwestern Iowa and the northwest corner of Missouri, was ceded to the United States by the tribes or nations of Indians known as Sacs, Sioux, lowas, Otoes, Missourias, Poxes; they reserved hunting privileges therein until such time as the government should locate upon the lands other Indians, whose removal from east of the Mississippi river was contemplated, or until other appropriation thereof should be made. That portion of the ceded territory now in the State of Missouri was triangular in form, or wedge shaped, and situated between the Ijittle Platte and Missouri rivers, being about fifty miles wide at the northern end and running to a point at the junction of the streams, opposite the site of the present Kansas City. By treaties executed September 26 and 27, 1833 (7 Stat., 442 to 448), several bands of Chippewas, Ottawas and Pottawattamies ceded to the United States their possessory right to lands in the States of Illinois and Indiana, consenting to removal to the west of the Missis- sippi river, and a portion of the territory acquired by the United States under the treaty of 1830, above mentioned, was assigned to them, being specifically described by metes and bounds in the later treaty, when finally ratified, as follows : "Beginning at the mouth of Boyer's river; thence down the Missouri river to a point thereon from which a due E line would strtke the NW corner of the State of Missouri ; thence along said E line to the NW corner of said State ; thence along the northern boundary of Missouri till it strikes the line of the lands of the Sac and Fox Indians; thence northwardly along said line to a point from which a W line would strike the sources of the little Sioux river; thence along said W line till it strikes the sources of said river ; thence down said river to its mouth ; thence down the Missouri river to the beginning, provided that the said boundary shall contain 5,000,000 acres ; but should it contain more, then the said boundaries are to be correspondingly reduced." The northern boundary of this territory was never delimitated ; but the site of the present city of Council Bluffs was embraced therein; 26 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS the wedge-shaped tract in Missouri was not. It may here be said that, at the dates of the treaty last mentioned, the north line of the State of Missouri appeared upon official maps several miles north of the now existing Missouri-Iowa boundary, and the northwest corner of Missouri, referred to in the description of lands above given, was fifty or sixty miles east of the point at which it was finally established —that is, a few miles east of Bedford, the county seat of Taylor County, Iowa. The removal of the Pottawattamie Indians from Illinois, under the treaty of 1833, began in the fall of 1835, as hereinafter shown by official records. The removal was under the supervision of the War Department of which the Indian Bureau was then a part, and, for reasons not necessary to state here, the officers and contractors having charge thereof carried the greater number of their charges to the triangular territory above mentioned, although this land was not included in the 1833 treaty. The Indians were located near and opposite Fort Leavenworth and it was with great difficulty that they were afterward induced to leave such location and take up residence upon the Iowa lands. The lands embraced in the triangle were unconditionally ceded to the United States by the Indians party to the treaty of 1830 by treaties of Sept. 10, 17, 27 ; Oct. 15, and Nov. 30, 1836 (see 7 Stat., 510, 511, 516, 524, 525, 527) , and became a part of the State of Missouri. It was known as the "Platte Purchase ". Then the trespassing Indian emigrants were forced .to remove to the country assigned them in Iowa. There is some obscurity as to the precise date when the first of the Indians arrived in the vicinity of the site of the present city of Council Bluffs. There is some evidence, not fully convincing, in- dicating that one party reached that locality in 1835 or 1836, but no official record showing such fact has been found. Stutely E. Wicks, a white member of the tribe through marriage with an Indian woman, executed an affidavit at Council Bluffs, April 5, 1854, in which appears the following allegation, viz. : — "That he resided in the year 1836 with the Pottawattamie Indians in the Territory of Iowa immediately adjoining and contiguous to the Missouri River. ' ' But other allegations made in his deposition are so inconsistent with facts well established by conclusive evidence as to discredit this, it THE POTTAWATTAMIE INDIANS 27 being apparent that he was mistaken in respect to dates of occurrences. (See "Old Blockhouse".) The earliest officially authenticated arrival of the Pottawattamies at or near the site of the present city of Council Bluffs, occurred July 28, 1837, when Brigadier General H. Atkinson, commanding the First Department of the Western Division of the Army, accompanied by Dr. Edwin James, recently appointed Indian Sub-agent and placed in charge of the Pottawattamies, with about one hundred of the women and children and other members of the nation unable to march, on board the steamer "Kansas", arrived at a point on the Missouri river "fifteen or eighteen miles above the mouth of the great Platte river" and landed "on the left bank of the Missouri river", where he formally committed the Indians to the care of the sub-agent by letter of that date wherein he said: "Hd. Qrs. 1st Dept. West. Div. of the U. S. Army, Steamboat Kansas, near Belleview, July 28, 1837. Sir:— Having been ordered by the General in Chief of the Army, bearing date 20th June, and given in conformity with instruc- tions from the Secretary of War of the 19th of June, to remove the Pottawattamies to their lands agreeably to the treaty made on the 26th September, 1833, and ratified 21st February, 1835, and having landed a portion of them at this point, and the residue being on their march and will shortly arrive, I consider the object of the Government accomplished. . . . With respect, Sir, Your Ob't Serv't H. Atkinson, Brig. Gen'l. Dr. Edwin James, Sub-Agent for Pottawattamies." Pursuant to his duty General Atkinson made report to the Governor of Missouri, as follows: "Hd. Qrs. 1st Dept. West. Div. of the Army, Steamboat Kansas, Roche's Point, August 2, 1837. To His Excellency, G. W. Boggs, Governor of the State of Missouri. Sir:— I have the honor to inform you that, in obedience to orders from the Secretary of War, I have removed the Pottawattamie Indians from within the limits of this State to their own lands, and they have selected a position and located themselves on the left bank of this river fifteen or eighteen miles above the great Platte river. . . . 28 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS With highest Consideration, Sir, I have the Honor to be Your Most Ob't Serv't, H, Atkinson, Brig. Gen'l U. S. Army." Greneral Atkinson submitted simultaneous, but separate, reports, in substantially the same language, to Major General Macomb, General in Chief of the Army, and to General William Clark, Superintendent of Indian Affairs. The following is from the letter to General Clark, to-wit : "Hd. Qrs. 1st Dept. West. Div. of the U. S. Army, Jefferson Barracks, August 5, 1837. Sir:— I returned yesterday from among the Pottawattamies and lowas and Sacks of the Missouri River, whither I had been ordered by the Secretary of War to remove the Pottawattamies to their own lands agreeably to treat3^ Part of the band, accompanied by their agent, Dr. James, was landed at a point on the left bank of the Missouri river fifteen or eighteen miles above the mouth of the great Platte, whither the main body were under march and would arrive in four or five days after. This position or one m the immediate neighborhood is selected by the Indians as their permanent home. . . . With Great Respect, Sir, I have the Honor to be Your Ob't Serv't, H. Atkinson, Brig, Gen '1 U. S. Army. General William Clark, Superintendent of Indian Affairs, St. Louis." The foregoing extracts are taken from unpublished copies of letters and reports in the files of the Indian Office, Washington, D. C, re- lating to the emigration of the Pottawattamie Indians under the treaty of 1833. The removal of those who finally located in Southwestern Iowa, never exceeding 3000, began in 1835 and terminated in 1838. With his official report, dated November 28, 1840, the Commissioner of Indian Affairs submitted a statement from which has been taken the following : Captain Russell removed, in the fall of 1835, a large party of the Chicago Indians, and, in 1836, Mr. Kercheval removed another party ; but it would appear, from a letter from Dr. James, sub-agent, &c., that both to- gether did not exceed 1,455 Prior to November, 1837, the same band had removed, themselves 842 THE POTTAWATTAMIE INDIANS 29 On the 26th of November, 1837, Colonel Sands de- livered 287 And, in the fall of 1838, Mr. Berry delivered 150 Whole number of Ottawas, Chippewas and Potta- wattamies removed prior to 1840 (all in the Council Bluffs sub-agency) 2,734 (H. Doc, 26th Cong., 2d Sess., Volume 1, Page 253.) August 4, 1837, Captain D. B. Moore, in command of Company C of the First Regiment of Dragoons, having marched from Fort Leavenworth, arrived at the Council Bluffs Sub-agency for the purpose of affording protection to the emigrating Pottawattamies from hostile treatment by their belligerent neighbors to the northward. Pursuant to his orders he caused to be erected in that vicinity a blockhouse, and, with his command returned to Fort Leavenworth on November 1, 1837, his report to Colonel Kearny relative to the carrying out of orders given in connection with the expedition having been dated at Fort Leavenworth on the 11th of that month. (See "Old Blockhouse.") This blockhouse formed the nucleus of Chief Billy Caldwell 's village. The precise dates when it was begun and finished have not been found ; nor is it known with certainty when Caldwell and his band took up residence there ; but it may be presumed that the two events were coincident. The place of first encampment of the Pottawattamies was described in the first official report submitted by Dr. James, sub-agent, and the report was accompanied by a sketch map of the new Pottawattamie country, a diagram prepared from it is printed herein. From Dr. James ' report is taken the following : "Sub-Agency of Council Bluffs, (Bellevue) Aug. 11th, 1837. Gen. Wm. Clark. Sir: The second detachment of emigrating Pottawattomies, about seventy-five in number, arrived in their own country pr. steamboat Howard on the 8th inst. and encamped with those who came by the Kansas, about two miles above this place in a grove adjoining a fine dry prairie. This position combines more advantages than we can find in any other ; here we expect to establish the issue house, and to be joined before many days by the main body of the nation, who have now been twenty- 30 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS three days on the march by land from the Black Snake Hills. . . . With great respect your obedient servant, Edwin James, Sub-Agent for Council Bluffs." (S. Doc. 25th Cong., 2d Sess., Vol. 1, page 549.) From the next letter or report submitted by Dr. James, which does not appear to have been published, though on file in the Indian Office, the following extract is made, to-wit: "Sub-Agency of Council Bluffs, Aug. 30th, 1837. Gen. Wm. Clark. Sir: All of the Pottawattomies lately resident in the Platte Purchase have arrived in their own country, except two or three who died by the way. They express themselves well satisfied with the lands and profess a strong desire to cultivate largely ; and to have schools established among them without loss of time. . . ." It is not the purpose of this work to give a complete history in detail of the Pottawattamie Indians in southwestern Iowa, but to note merely such principal matters of interest among them as pertain to the immediate vicinity of Council Bluffs, although the writer feels constrained to make correction of error relating to the general history of these Indians where the same has come to his notice in the course of research for this publication. It clearly appears, from the report of Dr. James, and other authorities herein cited, that all of the Potta- wattamies who had been upon the Platte Purchase, and about 280 from east of the Mississippi, not reported by him, reached the neighborhood of the site of the present city of Council Bluffs in 1837, and about 150, from the east, joined them in 1838. In his annual report for 1838, the Commissioner of Indian Affairs said : "There have emigrated within the year 151 Chippewa, Ottawa and Pottawattamies. " (Sen. Doc, 25th Cong., 3d Sess., Vol. 1, page 443.) The various bands soon spread over the adjacent country and estab- lished villages at many points. The village of Billy Caldwell's band was situated upon the precise spot where the original town of Council Bluffs became located in 1846, and probably not over 500 Indians were at any one time located in that immediate vicinity. Mr. Jacob Van der Zee, in a paper published in the July, 1913, THE POTTAWATTAMIE INDIANS 31 number of the Iowa Journal of History and Politics, reprinted as a booklet under the title ' ' Episodes in the Early History of the Western Iowa Country", has stated, upon the authority of a number of ^\Titers and publications duly accredited, that : "Dr. James continued to reside at 'the Council Bluffs sub- agency' until his resignation in 1838, and after that the Council Bluffs agent at Bellevue took charge for a while. David Hardin and his family arrived early in the spring of 1838 on board the steamer 'Antelope' from Fort Leavenworth. He had been appointed farmer to the Pottawattamies in September, 1836, at a salary of $600. It is said that he located near a big spring on what is now East Broadway, Council Bluffs. The Potta- wattamies planted very little corn or anything else, 'except here and there one, who happened to have a hoe or a plough'. One band consisting of about one-third of the nation, headed by Chief Big Foot, did not enter the Iowa country until the fall of 1838 and then retired eastward to set up a village on the Nishnabotna river almost fifty miles away. All the otlier villages were from two to fifteen miles distant from the agencv buildings. ' ' Mr. Hardin's name was Davis (not David). He was appointed Assistant Indian Farmer September 1, 1836, with salary of $600, and assumed duty in 1837 at the Council Bluffs Sub-agency, under contract with Dr. James, and appears upon the published roll of Indian Bureau employees for that year as "David Harolin"; on the 1838 roll the name is " Hardin". It appears from unpublished records in the Indian Office that his legal connection with the service terminated with that year, but he was recognized by the Superintendent of Indian Affairs as entitled to pay to the close of 1839, when his name was dropped from the official roll. He continued to reside upon the agency farm, although efforts were made to oust him, and alleged that he had not been formally notified of his removal; so, June 20, 1842, a formal letter of dismissal was delivered to him in person, whereupon he demanded payment to that date. The attainable records do not disclose the final disposition of his claim. He may have located with his family temporarily at the spring on East Broadway; but the agency farm,—to at least a part of which one of his sons subsequently acquired title,—was found by the United States Surveys made in 1851 and 1852, to embrace the Lot 4 (Wi/^ SWI/4) Sec. 14, and EI/2SE1/4 Sec. 15, T. 74 N., R. 44 W., 5th P. M. 32 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS (See Kanesville Cash Entry No. 160, made by Richard S. Hardin, May 28, 1853, General Land Office file.) This land lies two miles west and four miles south of the site of Billy Caldwell's village, and is partly within the "4-mile circle from the postoffice," as that circle is laid down on "Allen's Suburban Map of Council Bluffs" published in 1890. In his official report of October 12, 1840, Sub-agent Stephen Cooper said: ' ' There is no farmer within my agency and the Indians state they do not wish for one." (Sen. Doc, 26th Cong., 2d Sess., Vol. 1, page 322.) (Also see Sen. Doc, 28th Cong., 1st Sess., Vol. 1, page 393.) May 31, 1838, Father Pierre-Jean De Smet, S. J., accompanied by Father Felix Verreydt and lay brother Mazelli, arrived at the Council Bluffs sub-agency and established among the Pottawattamies a mission which was named St. Joseph but frequently mentioned by the name St. Mary. The old fort given them by Colonel Kearney, to which they built an addition, together with some small cabins given by Chief Caldwell and a dwelling erected by themselves in 1839, served as church or chapel, school and residence for the missionaries. (See "Old Blockhouse".) Father De Smet's early letters from this mission are said to have been the beginning of the series from which his name became so widely known. They contained glowing accounts of the success being attained in the evangelization and education of the Indians ; but he was called away and sent to other fields late in 1839, and prosperity, which had already begun to wane, seems to have forsaken the mission entirely soon after his departure, and it was closed and finally abandoned in July or August, 1841, having lived but a little more than three years. No other mission or school of any kind appears to have been established at the place during the subsequent six years of occupancy by the Pottawattamies. Hon. Dexter C. Bloomer, of Council Bluffs, published more matter relative to the early history of the Council Bluffs region than any other person. He was a most estimable and conscientious man; but, unfortunately, although a lawyer by profession, he was not a deep investigator. Nearly all of the quasi historical matter furnished by him was based upon hearsay, legend and tradition, and much of it proves upon investigation to have been erroneous. Especially is this THE POTTAWATTAMIE INDIANS 33 the case with his contributions to Annals of Iowa relative to the coming of the Pottawattamies and the building of the old blockhouse. (See Annals of Iowa, Volumes 8-9, pages 523, 527, 666; also Third Series, Volume 2, page 549.) Mr. Bloomer fixed the dates of the coming of the Indians and the erection of the blockhouse as 1838 and 1839 respectively; whereas they were practically synonymous events which occurred in 1837. He said that the blockhouse was the "first building erected in Potta- wattamie county", apparently forgetting or ignoring the fact that he had also written of the location of Hart's trading house within that territory "as early as 1824". In connection with the arrival of the Indians he said: "Davis Hardin was their agent and came with them ' ' ; also that, ' ' Mr. Hardin caused a mill to be built on Mosquito creek for the grinding of grain raised by them and himself". There is no record connected with the arrival of the Pottawattamie Indians in the vicinity to indicate that Mr. Hardin was with them. The record shows that Dr. Edwin James came with the party that first arrived, having been appointed as a sub-agent and assigned to the Pottawattamies in April, 1837, and that the emigrating Indians were delivered to him by General Atkinson on the date of arrival. The farm settled upon by Mr. Hardin—that is selected by him for the Indians, whose farmer he was—comprised land near what was after- ward called "Council Point", but no such name existed at the date of his arrival. The official records (letters on file in the Indian Office) show that the mill referred to by Mr. Bloomer was built at the expense of the Indians, in 1841, by Samuel N. Holcomb, under contract made in 1840 between him and Chief Billy Caldwell, at which time Mr. Hardin had no connection with the Indian service. For several years after the Pottawattamies left the vicinity the mill just mentioned was operated under lease by Stutely E. Wicks, and, in time, became known as "Wicks' Mill". Tradition accredited Mr. Wicks as miller for the Indians, but no government record attests the fact. He was undoubtedly connected with the institution while under Indian or government control, but does not appear to have held appointment as miller. He became owner of the property by purchase from George Scofield, who entered and acquired title from the government to the land upon which it stood. (See Cash Entry No. 184, Kanesville series. May 31, 1854, in General Land Office files, Washington, D. C.) 34 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS The first mention of this mill found in published reports of the Indian service appears under date of October 2, 1841, wherein Subagent Cooper said : "There is neither farmer nor school teacher employed by the Government within this sub-agency. The Chiefs complain that their treaty stipulations have not been complied with, and, in consequence of which, they have built a saw-and-grist mill at their own expense that is doing a tolerable good business. Bill Caldwell, the principal business chief of this nation, and who drew a life annuity of $1,000 per annum, died on the 27th ultimo." (Sen. Doc, 27th Cong., 2d Sess., Vol. 1, page 357.) (Sen. Doc, 28th Cong., 1st Sess., Vol. 1, page 393.) Some of the errors above mentioned have been repeated and per- petuated in publications of later date. Among those that have come to the attention of the writer are : "History of Pottawattamie County, Iowa", by Homer H. Field and Joseph R. Reed; "History of Iowa", by Hon. Benjamin F. Cue; "History of Western Iowa", published by the Western Publishing Company, Sioux City; "History of Mills County, Iowa", published by the Iowa Historical Company, Chicago; "History of Pottawattamie County, Iowa", published by O. L. Baskin & Co., Chicago ; "Biographical History of Pottawattamie County, Iowa", 1891, published by the Lewis Publishing Company ; "Episodes in the Early History of Western Iowa", by Jacob Van der Zee, reprinted from the July, 1913, number of the Iowa Journal of History and Politics, by the State Historical Society of Iowa, Iowa City. A quotation from the work last-above mentioned has been made hereinbefore which contains, in addition to other things, the statement that Bigfoot's band did not "enter the Iowa country until the fall of 1838" and then "set up a village on the Nishnabotna River" (page 24). On page 25, referring to the fear of the Pottawattamies soon after arrival that they would be attacked by the Sioux, it is said : "To quiet their alarm and apprehensions Colonel Stephen Watts Kearny hastened from Fort Leavenworth in command of a body of dragoons, arriving on board the steamer 'Antelope'. THE POTTAWATTAMIE INDIANS 35 They at once erected a block-house twenty-four feet square and set up barracks and tents on the ground near by. ' ' Both of the statements are erroneous. According to the official records Bigfoot's band arrived in the Iowa country in the fall of 1837. Indian Agent John Dougherty, then in charge of the Pottawattamie sub-agency, in his official report dated Bellevue, November 25, 1838, stated that: ' ' Big Foot 's band came too late to raise corn last spring. They came in last fall and received their annuities and rations, and returned to the Des Moines River, where they spent the winter with some of the Missouri Sacs, and I understand it is their intention to return to that place as soon as they receive their annuities again." (Sen. Doc, 25th Cong., 3d Sess., Vol. 1, ^age 321.) Official documents indicate that Colonel Kearny was officially present in the vicinity of Council Bluffs' site spring of 1838; summer of 1839, and in 1840 ; no other visits mentioned. On the latter occasion he was in command of troops contemplating punitive measures against the Pawnees and Otoes. The other visits were for examination of sites for a fort, on the west (right) side of the river, resulting in the location of the old fort which bore his name at the site of Nebraska City. He left Fort Leavenworth June 30, 1846, for participation in the war with Mexico. (Sen. Doc., 29th Cong., 2d Sess., Vol. 1, page 49.) Referring to the location of the several bands or tribes under his jurisdiction. Sub-agent Cooper, in his report dated October 12, 1840, said: ''Many of them have large fields, well fenced in, with good log cabins, and are settled in villages from two to five, ten or fifteen miles from the Council Bluffs sub-agency—except Big Foot's band, who live upon the waters of the Nishnebottona, about fifty miles east of this agency, which band constitutes about one-third of the nation." (Sen. Doc, 26th Cong 2d Sess., Vol. 1, page 321.) It is within the knowledge of the writer, founded on good authority, that Big Foot's village was on Indian creek, a tributary of the Nishnabotna river, a short distance above the confluence with that river, which place subsequently became known, and still appears upon maps, as Iranistan. That is, the village was "on the waters of the Nishnebottona", but not actually on that stream. 36 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS The report last quoted showed, also, that the ofiSees of the subagency were still situated nearly opposite the mouth of the Platte river, and that the number of Indians within the sub-agency was about two thousand, of whom 550 were warriors. (See Sen. Doc, 26th Cong., 2d Sess., Vol. 1, page 322.) An additional report was submitted by Sub-agent Cooper, in the fall of 1840, wherein appears the following: ' ' Schools, there are none here under the authority of the government. There are two Roman Catholic priests residing within my agency, of good moral character, who set a good example to the Indians and half breeds. They have a chapel, and school, and teacher, and have several young Indians in the school who are coming on pretty well." (Sen. Doc., 26th Cong., 2d Sess., Vol. 1, page 397.) The original landing of the Indians in 1837 was in the vicinity of the site of the agency farm as located by Mr. Hardin ; possibly at the landing shown by government survey about a mile below Hardin's house, now in Lake Manawa. Soon after the landing headquarters of the sub-agency were established at a point nearly opposite the mouth of the Platte river. Sometime prior to 1845 removal to Point aux Poulos was effected. July 24, of that year. Sub-agent Elliott re- ported that: "The number in this sub-agency is about 2000. We have no schools or missions among the Pottawattamies. The half breeds, men and women, among the Pottawattamies, all wear the dress of the whites, and adopt our mode of life so far as their knowledge and means enable them to do so. The office of this sub-agency is located at Point aux Poulos, on the northeast bank of the Missouri river, about twenty miles below the mouth of Beyer's river, and opposite Belleviie, as marked on the map. The distance to the Missouri State line is about thirty-five miles. High Creek postoffice, in Atchison (late Holt) County, Missouri, is the nearest postoffice to this place. The three trading houses of this sub-agency are at Point aux Poulos." (Sen. Doc, 29th Cong., 1st Sess., Vol. 1, page 470.) When the offices of the sub-agency were removed from the point opposite the mouth of the Platte; where removed to at the time, or when established at Point aux Poulos, are questions not answerable THE POTTAWATTAMIE INDIANS 37 from any of the discovered official records. In the spring of 1843, when Captain Burgwin's cantonment of Fort Croghan was inundated by the Missouri river, it appears that the sub-agency establishment was also flooded, and it is not improbable that the offices were re- moved from the site then occupied at the same time as the troops removed to the highlands. Captain Burgwin was at the time in charge, temporarily, of the sub-agency affairs, and it is probable that he had removed the offices to his cantonment for convenience, and that they were removed to the same point to which the military estab- lishment was taken. Richard S. Elliott was appointed sub-agent of the Council Bluffs agency early in 1843, and assumed charge on June 1st of that year. In a letter of that date, addressed to the Superintendent of Indian Affairs at St. Louis, he reported his arrival and acknowledged receipt of the papers and effects of the sub-agency from Captain Burgwin as of that date. The precise point from which he wrote does not appear, but he said: "The mills for the agency for lumber and grist are in toler- able order; and a blacksmith shop is in progress of erection at the mills, the tools having been removed from the river on account of the high waters of a few weeks since. ' ' I find no suitable buildings for the agency. There is a cabin some distance down the river from the point at which I write this, but it is unfortunately located as well for the health and comfort of the Sub-Agent as for the business of the Indians; and it should, I think, be sold as soon as possible. It might, I have no doubt, be disposed of to the present occupant, Mr. Stephen Cooper, who is a mere tenant by sufferance, but would be very unwilling to leave the place if he could avoid it. If authorized to do so I will dispose of the building, Mr. Cooper is a licensed trader. "Under the circumstances I deem it my duty, as well to the Indians as to my family, to request an allowance of at least fiive hundred dollars to erect a suitable agency house, and, if I receive the allowance, I will locate the building so as to accommadate the Indians during their stay in the country, and to bring the government a good price when they leave. I have no house now. . . ." Soon after his arrival Mr. Elliott recommended the appointment as interpreter for the sub-agency of Claude Laframboise, to succeed Louis Ouilmot, and, in a letter dated July 31, 1843, explained to the 38 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS Superintendent of Indian Affairs his reasons for the recommendation as follows:" . . . . My reasons for nominating Mr. Laframboise were these: Mr. Louis Ouilmot informed me that he did not desire to remain in the situation, and Mr. Laframboise appeared to be well qualified, resides near my office at Caldwell 's Village, and is very hospitable to the Indians. . . ." It thus appears that at the date of that letter the offices of the subagency, such as they were, were at Billy Caldwell's village, the site of the present city of Council Bluffs. How long they were maintained at that point does not appear; but it is evident that the location was merely temporary, and that they were established (probably re-estab- lished) at Point aux Poulos, where was situated the house mentioned as being occupied by Mr. Cooper, as indicated by Mr. Elliott's letter of June 1, 1843, quoted and cited above. It does not clearly appear whether Mr. Elliott was allowed the funds for the erection of a new house J the correspondence relating to his request indicated that the Superintendent of Indian Affairs was opposed to the making of such expenditure at the time. September 26, 1843, Sub-Agent Elliott, who had been in charge of the sub-agency for about four months, wrote regarding the Potta- wattamie lands as follows : "These lands are exceedingly fertile, but, owing to the scarcity of timber, of rock and indeed minerals of every kind, they are not so valuable for the purposes of the white man as one would suppose by looking at the map, which shows this region to be the only outlet to market for the vast Territory of Iowa. Still, their value is sufficient to justify the Government in paying a very handsome price for them, and it is manifest that they must be treated for at a very early date. ' ' This appraisement of the value of the Pottawattamie lands must be regarded as almost humorous by readers of the present day when there is scarcely an acre of the entire domain, except that occupied by towns and cities, highways and other public service works, not actually devoted to purposes of agriculture of the most profitable character ; and when the newspapers frequently announce sale at from one hundred and twenty-five to two hundred dollars per acre at public auction in the settlement of estates, &c. Within the territory formerly occupied by the Pottawattamies are THE POTTAWATTAMIE INDIANS 39 thousands of acres of the finest and most profitable apple orchards in the world, while the production of corn and other field crops throughout the region is phenomenal. These, coupled with the stock- raising pursuits of the people, justify the belief that there exists no richer section anywhere. Early in 1842 circumstances indicated serious trouble between, the Pottawattamies and Sioux, the latter never having become reconciled to the occupancy of the country by the former. The Pottawattamies, aiiticipating attack, had arranged for assistance in the defense with neighboring Otoes, lowas and Sacs, and war seemed imminent. Colonel Kearny, in command at Fort Leavenworth, despatched Captain J. H. K. Burgwin, with a company of the First Dragoons to the scene of action. The troops arrived May 31st and established a military post near the Indian farm which they named Camp Fenwick. In the fall they constructed a log cantonment and the name was changed to Fort Croghan, where the command spent the winter. In April, 1843, a freshet in the Missouri river inundated the cantonment, compelling the command to retire to the highlands. Soon afterward the eminent naturalist, John James Audubon, visited the place and there for the first time saw a Yellow-headed Troupial. The fort was abandoned October 6, 1843. (See Fort Croghan.) The Pottawattamie occupancy of the territory in Iowa, in which is included the site of the present city of Council Bluffs, continued for a period of a little more than ten years—1837 to 1847—their possessory right having been terminated by a treaty negotiated at Washington during the winter and spring of 1846 (see 9 Stat. 853-856), which was signed by the Iowa bands June 5th, and by those on the Osage river June 17th, of that year. Under the terms of this treaty the Indians relinquished claim to the Iowa lands receiving in exchange a money consideration and a tract of land thirty miles square in Kansas, and they were obligated to remove within two years from the date of the ratification of the treaty by the United States Senate, which occurred July 22, 1846, and the treaty was officially promulgated by proclamation issued the following day. These bands were composed of Ottawa, Chippewa and Pottawattamie Indians and, it was provided by the treaty just mentioned that thereafter they should be known as the "Pottowautomie Nation". The removal occurred, or was at least begun, in the fall of 1847, and in reference to that event Thomas H. Harvey, Superintendent of 40 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS Indian Affairs at St. Louis, addressed a commimication to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, dated October 29, 1847, wherein he said : "The Potawatomies, although not compelled to emigrate until July, 1848, have commenced emigration under the most satisfactory circumstances. I attended the payment at the Council Bluffs sub-agency, and urged their immediate emigration; they entered into it with great spirit, and immediately after payment, started for their new homes, crossing the Missouri river at different points in large parties. ... I presume before this reaches you, the Potawatomie emigration will have been completed. ' ' And he added, as an apparent important piece of information, this statement, viz.: "At the late Pottawattamie treaty (at both the Council Bluffs and Osage river sub-agencies) the Indians gave their notes to the traders for more than ninety thousand dollars." (Sen. Doc, 30th Cong., 1st Sess., Vol. 1, page 837.) The total number of these Indians did not exceed three thousand, so the notes given to the traders represented indebtedness amounting to about thirty dollars per capita. The precise date when the Pottawattamies began their removal from the vicinity of the site of the present city of Council Bluffs may not be more definitely fixed than it is by the preceding quotation; that is about September, 1847. It is clearly established, however, that the removal had been completely effected prior to the fall of 1848. In his official report dated Fort Leavenworth, September 26, 1848, Indian Agent R. S. Cummins said : "A census of the Pottawattamies I have not been able to take; even if they had been taken, they would not fully have answered the purpose. These Indians have but recently emigrated to their new country." (Sen. Doc, 30th Cong., 2d Sess., Vol. 1, page 445.) In a communication dated October 4, 1848, the Superintendent of Indian Affairs at St. Louis, said: "The Pottawattamies, who, at the date of my annual report of last year, had not emigrated, have since removed to their new homes, without causing the slightest embarrassment to the government; they deserve much credit for their prompt- THE POTTAWATTAMIE INDIANS 41 ness, especially as the entire emigration was effected within the time limit of the treaty for their removal. They are pleased, and justly so, with their new homes, and I am gratified to be able to inform you that they are now living in fraternal amity, after having lived in separate bands for so many years, ' ' ( Sen, Doc., 30th Cong., 2d Sess., Vol. 1, page 439.) In his official report for the year, dated November 30, 1848, the Commissioner of Indian Affairs stated that: ' ' Within the past year the Pottawattamies, who have hereto- fore been separated (the larger portion being in Iowa and the others on the Osage river), have completed their removal to their new country on the Kansas river, between the Delawares and Shawnees, where they are now comfortably settled. . . . Much credit is due them, not only for their prompt removal, but for the peaceable and orderly manner in which it was con- ducted. It was a new feature in our Indian system, to see an entire tribe of Indians quietly and without disorder of any kind remove themselves to a new country, nearly two hundred miles from most of them, in conformity with a stipulation to that effect in a treaty which had been made with the government; and bearing their own expenses out of funds set apart for that purpose," (Sen, Doc, 30th Cong., 2d Sess., Vol, 1, page 395,) The Commissioner, in this same report, referring to the Winnebago Indians, said: "The removal of this tribe, and of the Pottawattamies, has entirelv freed Iowa of her Indian population," (Sen. Doc 30th Cong., 2d Sess., Vol. 1, page 435.) During their residence in Southwestern Iowa the Pottawattamies made very slight progress toward civilization and established little or nothing resembling permanent homes or improvements of value. Their shortcomings in these respects were due, no doubt to their unsettled condition. There was scarcely an interval between the completion of the treaty of 1833 by which they surrendered their lands in Illinois and Indiana and the beginning of overtures for the cession of the lands to which they were about to be removed, it having occurred to some one that they should be located farther south, at some point south of the Missouri river. (Sen. Doc, 24th Cong., 2d Sess., Vol. 1, pages 392-3, 395-6.) Efforts to secure a new treaty with these Indians continued to be 42 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS made from time to time thereafter during their entire occupancy of the lands in Iowa and on the Osage river. Sub-agent R. B. Mitchell, in a report dated September 11, 1846, said : "The unsettled condition of this nation for some years has prevented their making the improvements necessary for con- venience and comfort." (Sen. Doc, 29th Cong., 2d Sess., Vol. 1, page 300.) The Missouri river near the site of the present city of Council Bluffs was reached by the advance guard of the Mormon emigration to the Rocky Mountains, June 14, 1846; a few days after the Potta- wattamie treaty had been signed by the Indians in that vicinity, and three days before it was signed by those residing in the Osage country. Their arrival was announced to the Department at Washington by report of the Superintendent of Indian Affairs, dated St. Louis, September 5, 1846. He said : "There is at this time, and has been for several months, a large number of Mormons (supposed to be 4,000 to 8,000) in the Indian country. They have passed into the Potawatomie Country at the Council Bluffs. A large number have crossed the Missouri river and are on their way to Grand Island, in the Platte or Nebraska river. Another portion of them are desirous to remain next spring on the Boyer river, in Potawatomie Country; to which they have obtained the consent of the In- ' dians. The sub-agent at that place reports that they are con- ducting themselves well, and do not seem disposed to interfere at all with the Indians. I have instructed him to use his in- fluence to prevent a waste of timber by them." (Sen. Doc, 29th Cong., 2d Sess., Vol. 1, page 287.) These Mormons, the Pottawattamie Indians, and here and there a "gentile" pioneer, occupied this southwestern Iowa country, the Mormon villages being scattered about as greatly as those of the Indians, for upward of a year prior to Indian removal, and, inasmuch as neither the records of the Indian Office nor those of the Mormon Church disclose serious difficulty among them, it may be assumed that they dwelled together in harmony and brotherly love. (See The Mormons.) THE OLD BLOCKHOUSE. Perhaps no one object at or near the site of the present city of Council Bluffs has afforded a wider field for surmise, discussion and dissemination of erroneous information than the "Old Blockhouse" of frontier days. It stood for about twenty years (1837 to 1857) upon the plateau crowning the blunt nose of the hill jutting into and almost perpendicularly towering, something like fifty feet, above the road, now called Broadway, between the present-day Grace and Union streets (the latter being known as Spring Street at an early day). From the earliest occupation of the country by white people—1846 — to the time of its demolition—1856-1857—it was commonly mentioned as the "Old Fort" or "Old Mission", both of which designations were appropriate, because it was originally constructed by United States troops for military purposes (1837) and afterward (1838-1841) occu- pied as a Jesuit Mission known as St. Joseph or St. Mary. June 4, 1853, at the age of a little more than ten years, the writer began residence at Council Bluffs with the family of his father — Lysander W. Babbitt,—at which time the "Old Fort" or "Mission House", surmounted by a cross, occupied the above-described site. His home was about a half mile farther up (east and north) on Broadway—now known as "Babbitt Place", and almost daily while the old building remained he passed it at a distance of only a few yards, and often played about it with other children. In his memory it is pictured as a log structure, about 24 x 40 feet in dimension of ground space, one and one-half story in height, with an ordinary sloping roof, with embrasures (small windows) on north and west sides, and loopholes for musketry all around, standing in the open without stockade or other enclosure, or any evidence that it had ever been enclosed. Near by was a grave yard surrounded by a fence constructed of hand-riven palings. During the year 1856 intense rivalry existed between what were termed "up-town" and "down-town" portions of the city. The principal hotel, recently erected, was located "dowai town", and, for the benefit of their end of the town, a company of "up-towners" was formed for the purpose of building a better and finer hostelry, the site of the old blockhouse being selected for its location. The old 44 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS fort, then in a tumbled-down condition, was removed either that Fall or the following Spring, and the ground, still practically in its natural condition (a plateau but slightly graded when the blockhouse was built) was cut away so that a precipitous bank something like thirty feet high formed the south line of Pierce Street, where the sharp pitch of the great bluff swept down to the plateau, and the grading necessary to the preparation of the hotel building site greatly reduced the elevation of the blunt nose of bluff jutting onto Broadway. Beyond the grading here mentioned nothing was done toward the erection of the new hotel; probably because of the financial crisis of the Fall of 1857. An article entitled ''The Old Blockhouse at Council Bluffs", written in August, 1896, by Hon. Dexter C. Bloomer, of Council Bluffs, appeared in the October issue of the Annals of Iowa for that year (Third Series, Volume 2, No. 7, page 549), with an illustration said to have been prepared from a sketch made from memory by George Simons, wherein it is said : ' ' This was the first building erected in Pottawattamie county. In 1838 the Pottawattamie Indians were removed from the 'Platte Purchase', so-called, in Missouri, to a location on the Missouri river which subsequently was organized into a county and took the name of the tribe. . . . "In 1839 the general government stationed two companies of troops among these Indians for the purpose of keeping peace and quiet among them, although, through the careful management of their Agent, their presence did not prove necessary for that purpose. These troops located themselves a short distance up in the bluffs in the little subsidiary valley of Indian creek and near a living spring found at that point. Here, on a gentle « elevation, in the same year, they erected a blockhouse of logs and rough puncheons and raised the American flag over it. Its sides were pierced with numerous holes through which muskets could be discharged in case of assault from without. The barracks, tents and parade grounds, and probably some minor structures, were located in the vicinity of this building. No record can be found of the names of the officers in command of these troops. They did not remain a great while, for the reason already stated. With the Indians came a Roman Catholic Mission in charge of Fathers De Smet and Verreydt. They also built for themselves a rude dwelling, but when the troops left they took possession of the government buldings, blockhouse and barracks, for religious purposes, erecting a wooden cross THE OLD BLOCKHOUSE 45 over one of them. When the writer took up his residence in Council Bluffs, in 1855, these buildings (as shown in the cut), one of them surmounted by a cross, were yet standing. . . . " In the four-volume "History of Iowa" compiled and published by Hon. Benjamin F. Gue, the foregoing narrative, with identically the same illustration is substantially reproduced. (Volume 1, pages 100-101.) THE OLD BLOCKHOUSE. FORT AND MISSION (Picture by George Simon.) This is a reproduction of an illustration accompanying an article by Hon. D. C. Bloomer, published in Annals of Iowa in 1896 (3d Series, Volume 2, page 594), the cut having been made from a painting said to have been done by George Simons, from memory. 46 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS In a two-volume ' ' History of Pottawattamie County, Iowa ' ', written, compiled and published by Homer H. Field and Hon. Joseph R. Reed, of Council Bluffs (Volume 1, page 6), appears the following: ' ' The conditions above described continued until 1838, when, during President Van Buren's administration, the Pottawattamie Indians were assigned a reservation here, and Davis Hardin was appointed to instruct them in farming. He, with his family and a company of soldiers arrived here on the steamer Antelope from Fort Leavenworth, in the spring of that year. . . . Arriving here they found the country a solitude. They located by a big spring on what is now East Broadway and the soldiers immediately commenced building a house for the Hardins, and then a fort on the promontory that was a continuation of the hill between Franklin and Lincoln avenues, and which at that time jutted into what is now Broadway, where the dwelling of the late John Clausen now stands." Many other stories relating to this old fort have been published from time to time in current newspapers and otherwise, and the date of construction has been stated by some to have been as early as 1819, running from that to the years above given ; but, in no instance that has come to the knowledge of the writer, has a letter-press description of it, other than as above set out, been given. Hon. H. H. Field, a man of experience in estimating the dimensions of standing buildings, now residing at Council Bluffs, having been there continuously since 1855, in answer to inquiry, says — ' ' The ruins of the old blockhouse were standing when I first came here. I should think it was about 20 feet square. It disappeared in the Spring of 1857, and several feet of the ground was taken off and put on Broadway to improve the grade ; but by what authority I do not know, but it was rumored that a hotel was to be built there by L. W. Babbitt and Dr. S. H. Craig. If there was anything in it the great crash that came in the Fall of that year put an end to it. I don't know when the Government relinquished title to it, but suppose when Judge Casady was commissioned to make deeds to the occupants. John Warner was the first that owned it to my knowledge as he employed me to fence it, and John Clausen the last, as I worked on his dwelling some forty years ago. The lot then consisted of nearly all the square bounded by Broadway, Grace, Union and Pierce streets." THE OLD BLOCKHOUSE 47 Hon. Spencer Smith whose arrival at Council Bluffs was at about the same time as that of the writer, but at a sligrhtly earlier age, answering an inquiry, says: ' ' Since the receipt of your letter I have been trying to refresh my memory of early days, but find little response as to the 'Mission House' of which you make inquiry, I called on my way to lunch today at the library and took a look at the picture in Mr. Bloomer's sketch which appears to me about as it looked when I first saw it. I know of no picture of the ' Old Fort ' as we called it other than the one given by Mr. Bloomer. ' ' Mr. Ephraim Huntington, at about the age of seven years, began residence as a member of the family of his father—John Huntington, —at Kanesville, as the place was then named, in 1850. In a con- versation with the writer, in September, 1915, speaking of the old blockhouse, he said: "I remember it as it appeared to me when a boy and until it was demolished. It was originally surrounded with a stockade several feet high and constructed of very heavy oak timbers. ' ' In a communication dated June 13, 1916, referring to the illustra- tion above mentioned which had been called to his attention, he said : "The picture of the Fort and Mission resembles the buildings, &c., very much as I remember it." Reverend Henry De Long, then a boy of twelve or fourteen years, accompanied the Mormons from Nauvoo as far as the site of Council Bluffs, arriving in July, 1846, and has continued to reside there ever since. He is now the "dean of old settlers" in the county. Upon request he furnished a very complete description of the "Old Fort" as memory recalls its first appearance to him, to-wit : "There were three buildings in the fort. The main building was what we'jd call a story and a half, about sixty feet long and twenty-four feet wide, running parallel with Broadway. It was made of hewed logs and the logs were hewed square so they fit right down together. The port holes were made by sawing out half of the log and should .judge they were about eight feet apart. "There was a building just west and south of tlie main building, built in the form of a chapel, with a place for a bell 48 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS in the center. I think it was used by the Catholics. This chapel was about 24 x 30. "There was a small one-story building back of the fort, to the east. Don't know what it was used for, but it looked like it might have been officer 's quarters. It was about 16 x 20. "The roofs were made of clapboards which were smooth and of much better appearance than usual. "The chapel roof was built four square, running to a center containing a cupola. "The other roofs were made with gable ends. ' ' There was no stockade surrounding the fort. ' ' Commenting upon the illustration accompanying the Bloomer article, to which his attention had been directed after he had written the foregoing description, "Uncle Henry", as he is familiarly called by intimate friends, said: "With the main building I speak of torn down, the picture is probably a fair representation of the fort in 1855 ; but I think this picture was drawn by someone from memory and is not an exact copy of the buildings as they were. The picture shows two buildings and the smaller one is what I recollect was probably used for officers' quarters." It is presumed, in absence of citations of authority or any sources of information by the writers named, that all of the foregoing matter quoted is founded upon memory, hearsay, legend and tradition ; and it is given here for such consideration as may be merited. Official data relating to the old blockhouse appears to be meagre and difficult of access or discovery at this late date. In connection with Mr. J. N. Nicollet's report of his explorations made in the Missouri river country in 1838 and 1839 is published a map prepared by the War Department, upon which at or near the site of the present city of Council Bluffs is shown "Fort Croghan". For a time it was assumed by the writer that the old blockhouse and Fort Croghan were identical ; but, in a certain sense, this was error. No name for the old blockhouse appears in any of the official records of the War Department nor in those of the Office of Indian Affairs, though it is mentioned occasionally in letters from the agents and sub-agents. In Mr. Nicollet 's report a reference to ' * Camp Kearney ' ' is apparently, but not necessarily, applicable to this old fort. Fort Croghan was not a blockhouse or fortification; but merely a military cantonment located, originally, near the old Indian farm THE OLD BLOCKHOUSE 49 upon which Mr. Davis Hardin resided while and after acting as farmer for the Pottawattamies ; and, because of a flood in the Missouri river in April, 1843, was removed to the hills. The old blockhouse appears to have been used by the troops by whom Fort Croghan was founded, and was no doubt considered a part of that fort or cantonment. Richard S. Elliott, Pottawattamie sub-agent, in a letter to the Superintendent of Indian Affairs (unpublished) dated June 1, 1843, said: "There are in the block house of the Dragroons some goods which were seized in November last, and which yet, as I understand, await their disposition by the Department." Senate Document No. 237, 26th Congress, 2d Session, consists solely of a " Report intended to illustrate a map of The Hydrographic Basin of Upper Mississippi River, made by J. N. Nicollet while in employ under the Bureau of the Corps of Topographical Engineers", which is the map referred to above. On pages 93 and 94 is the following language, to-wit: "Assured that every reader will partake of my sentiments on this subject, I shall, without further prelude or apology, acknowledge the services I have received, in this respect, from . . . The Revs. P. J. De Smet and Felix Werreydf, missionaries among the Pottawattamies at Camp Kearney, near Council Bluffs on the Missouri. . . ." On pages 98 and 99 is found matter pertinent to the subject here under treatment, and, although some of it may seem to be irrelevant, it is fully quoted because of the general information contained, to-wit : "When the course of my observations carried me to the regions of the North and Northwest, the stationary barometer of St. Louis, to which my portable barometers were referred, became too distant for simultaneous observations to be any longer comparable. I had foreseen this difficulty, and had succeeded in establishing, as soon as needed, two new fixed barometer stations, much higher north—the one at St. Peters, on the Mississippi ; the other at Camp Kearney, near Council Bluffs, on the Missouri. At each of these points was a sta- tionary barometer, corresponding four or five times a day with the barometer at St. Louis, and affording, at the same time, for my portable barometers, a reference to one or the other, according as my position at any time brought one or the other nearest. "Nevertheless, as both of these stations are at a great dis- 50 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS tance from St. Louis, whether the length of the journey neces- sary for communication between them, or their geographic positions and direct distance apart, be considered, it became necessary that their differences of level, as respects St. Louis, should be determined by the greatest number of observations possible. Lq this view, I deem it fit to introduce here the results of these determinations : ''1. The station at Camp Kearney was occupied by the venerable missionaries. Rev. Messrs. De Smet and Werreydt. I furnished them with a barometer, well compared with that of Dr. Engelman at St. Louis, and with my own, and delivered it at their missionary station in good condition. Mr. De Smet, with whom I had passed some days of travel on the Missouri, soon made himself acquainted with the manner of taking obser- vations; and proved it, in furnishing me with a four-months' series, made with a care that the most scrupulous examination could only confirm, and embracing the period between the 17th of May and 17th of September, 1839,—an interval during which I was exploring in the Northwest. ' ' The barometer at St. Louis was situated in a small exposed plain; that at Camp Kearney was placed in the valley of the Missouri, which is deep, and often three to five miles wide. Using only the noon observations for both, grouping them 20, and applying the reduction of the stations to their respective levels, the calculations give the following results : Station at Camp Kearney, above St. Louis by — 20 observations at noon in May and June, 1839 596 feet June, 1839 680 " June and July, 1839 633 " July and August, 1839 659 " August, 1839 694 " September, 1839 .667 " 20 THE OLD BLOCKHOUSE 51 hood. The missionaries De Smet and Verreydt were at the time in occupancy of the blockhouse. A letter of inquiry, addressed to the War Department, in which reference was made to Mr. Nicollet's report, was returned with en- dorsement as follows: "WAR DEPARTMENT The Adjutant General's Office Washington, January 22, 1916. "Respectfully returned to — "Mr. Charles H. Babbitt, 933 Massachusetts Avenue, N. W., Washington, D, C. ' ' Such search of the records of this Department as it has been found practicable to make, based on the data submitted, has resulted in failure to identify any record of the establishment of a Camp Kearny at or near the present city of Council Bluffs, Iowa. The records indicate that Captain D. B. Moore, with Company C, 1st Dragoons, was sent by Colonel S. W. Kearny from Fort Leavenworth to that section in 1837 for the purpose of protecting the Pottawattamies, then about to move to their new country, and with instructions to throw up a block house of one story about 25 feet square, and with sufficient loop holes, at such place as Captain Moore might deem eligible. The location is more particularly described as being above the State Line of Missouri, near the river and not far from Belle View. Captain Moore returned to Fort Leavenworth early in November, 1837, when he reported to Colonel Kearney that he had reached the locality mentionel August 4, 1837 ; erected a block-house and departed November 1, 1837. "The records further show that Colonel Kearny himself spent about 12 days in that vicinity between April 12 and 24, 1838, and in that time examined the country above and below the Platte and fixed upon a site for a military post. "It is further shown by the records that Captain J. H. K. Burgwin, 1st Dragoons, with a company of that regiment, was stationed near Council Bluffs from about May 31, 1842, to about October 6, 1843. He called his post Camp Fenwick, and on his recommendation it was named by the War Department about November, 1842, Fort Croghan. It appears that this post was about 6 miles from 'the Bluff' and at a point that was reached by an excessive overflow in the Spring of 1843, "Nothing has been found of record to indicate that any of the stations or posts mentioned wa,s ever called Camp Kearny H. P.

I arrived there on the 4th of August and re- mained until the 1st of November, 1837, when I broke camp and marched to this post in pursuance of your order. D. B. Moore, Captain 1st Regiment Dragoons. Colonel S. W. Kearny, Commanding 1st Regiment Dragoons. ' ' The foregoing shows conclusively that a blockhouse about 25 feet square, was constructed, in 1837, in the vicinity of the site of the present city of Council Bluffs. It has been found impossible to secure equally as positive proof that the blockhouse then erected and the "Old Blockhouse at Council Bluffs", the "Old Fort" that Colonel Kearny gave to De Smet in 1838, are identical. But, in absence of any indication either through hearsay, legend or tradition, that any other blockhouse was ever known to exist in that neighborhood, and taking all circumstances into consideration, little room io^ doubt in that regard may be reasonably entertained. Papers on file in the Indian Office at Washington relating to the emigration of the Pottawattamies, reproduced in connection with that portion of this booklet entitled "Pottawattamie Indians", prove that General Atkinson, commanding the First Department of the Western Division of the Army, personally superintended the removal of a part of the tribe or nation from the "Platte Purchase"; that he arrived with them on board of the steamboat "Kansas" July 28, 1837, and landed them at a point on the east (left) bank of the Missouri river, about eighteen miles above the mouth of the Platte river and there turned them over to the proper agent ; that one week later 54 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS Captain Moore arrived for the purpose of protecting them from Northern foes, and erected a blockhouse for that purpose, it may be presumed that he located it at a convenient place ; the fact that Billy Caldwell, one of the principal Pottawattamie chiefs, located his village precisely upon the spot where the original town from which Council Bluffs developed became situated, and that a blockhouse actually existed at that place, would appear to be strong circumstantial evidence in support of the presumption that it was the one built by Captain Moore. In the four-volume book entitled "Life, Letters and Travels of Father Pierre-Jean De Smet, S. J., 1808-1873, by Hiram Martin Chittenden and Alfred Talbot Richardson", on pages 14 to 16 of Volume I, is found the following: "In the Spring of 1838 he (De Smet) was sent with Father Verrydt and two lay brothers to found a mission among the Pottawattamies, a part of whom were located about where the city of Council Bluffs, Iowa, now stands. . , . Father De Smet left St. Louis by the steamboat Howard May 10, 1838. . . . They seem to have first occupied an abandoned fort turned over to them by Colonel S. W. Kearney ; but Father De Smet says that they also erected a small house. The mission was named St. Joseph, although it has been more frequently referred to as St. Mary. It was located within the present limits of Council Bluffs, Iowa. . . . The Pottawattamie mission at Council Bluffs is of particular interest in this narrative, not so much for results accomplished, as because it reveals at this early date the full character of Father De Smet as an Indian missionary. It was from here that he began that famous series of letters which have made his name well known throughout the world. In one of the first of these letters, written in July, 1838, Father De Smet said: "We arrived among the Pottawattamies on the afternoon of May 31st. Nearly 2,000 savages, in their finest rigs and care- fully painted in all sorts of patterns, were awaiting the boat at the landing. I had not seen so imposing a sight nor such fine looking Indians in America ; the lowas, the Sauks and Otoes are beggars compared to these. Father Verreydt and brother Mazelli went at once to the camp of the half breed chief, Mr. Caldwell, four miles from the river (page 157.) THE OLD BLOCKHOUSE 55 "The chief has given us possession of three cabins, and we have changed the fort which Colonel Kearney has given us into a church. On the day of Corpus Christi I put a cross on the roof, and while I climbed the ladder to put it into place, and my flag floated from a hole in my breeches, Father Felix (Verreydt) beheld the devil clap his tail between his legs and take flight over the big hills." (Page 158.) In a letter dated at the "Nation of the Pottawattamies, July 20, 1838," Father De Smet said: "We have a fine little chapel, twenty-four feet square, sur- mounted by a little belfry ; four poor little cabins beside, made of rough logs; they are fourteen feet each way, with roofs of rude rafters, which protect us from neither rain nor hail, and still less from snow of winter." (Page 168.) In the spring of 1839 De Smet visited the Sioux Indians near the mouth of the Big Sioux river, in an effort to preserve peace between ^elm^and the Pottawattamies, and, on the steamboat he met Mr. Nicollet. His account of the meeting is summarized as follows: ' ' On the 29th of April I went on board the American Company 's steamboat, which makes every year the voyage from St. Louis to the Yellowstone river. . . . To my great joy I found on board the celebrated Nicollet, whom I had had the honor of knowing for a long time. ... At present he is making a scientific excursion upon the upper Missouri, as he did last year to the sources of the Mississippi and its tributaries. ... He made me a present of several instruments, thermometers, barometers, compass, etc., to take observations during the summer, to aid those he was making in the upper country. (Pages 179-80.) On pages 183 and 184 is printed a letter from Father De Smet, under date "Pottawattamie Nation, St. Joseph (Mission), July 1838", but in a foot note the authors say the year should be 1839. The following extract is made from that letter, viz. : ' ' Our Superior sent us from St. Louis, goods to the amount of $500 in ornaments for the church, a tabernacle, a bell, and provisions and clothes for a year. I had been for a long time without shoes, and from Easter we were destitute of supplies. All of the Pottawattamie nation were suffering from scarcity, having only acorns and a few wild roots for their whole stock of food At la^t, about the 20th of April, they announced to 56 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS US that the much-desired boat was approaching. Already we saw it from the highest of our hills. I procured, without delay, two carts to go for our baggage. I reached there in time to witness a very sad sight. The vessel had hit a sawyer, was pierced, and rapidly sinking in the waves. The confusion that reigned in the boat was great, but happily no lives were lost. The total damage was valued at $40,000. All the provisions forwarded by the government to the savages were on board of her. Of our effects, four articles were saved; a plough, a saw, a pair of boots and some wine. Providence was still favorable to us. With the help of the plough, we were enabled to plant a large field of corn ; it was the season for furrowing. We used the saw to build a better house and enlarge our church, already too small." A thorough search of official reports and various other sources has failed to discover any account, other than the above, of the wrecking of a steamboat at or near the site indicated. Father De Smet's service at this mission ceased in the fall of 1839, when he was transferred to the far Northwest. On his return to the eastern country, late in 1840, he visited the old place, arriving about November 24th. Of that visit he says : ' ' The very night of our arrival among our Fathers at Council Bluffs, the river closed. It would be vain for me to attempt to tell what I felt at finding myself once more amidst our brothers, after having travelled 2,000 Flemish leagues, in the midst of the greatest dangers and across the territories of the most barbarous nations. I had, however, the grief of observing the ravages which unprincipled men, liquor sellers, had caused in this budding mission ; drunkenness, with the invasion of the Sioux on the other hand, had finally dispersed my poor savages. While awaiting a more favorable turn of events, the good Fathers Verreydt and (Christian) Hoeken busy themselves with the cares of their holy ministry among the fifty families that have had the courage to resist these two enemies." (Page 258.) The writer, wishing to ascertain if possible up to what period the mission at Council Bluff's was maintained, and, findng no authentic evidence in that respect, addressed a letter of inquiry to the St. Louis University regarding the abandonment and final closing of the St. Joseph or St. Mary Mission among the Pottawattamies, to which reply was received, as follows: THE OLD BLOCKHOUSE 57 "Mo. Prov. S. J., St. Louis, May 16, 1916. ''Mr. Chas. H. Babbitt, Washington, D. C. "Dear Sir: ' ' In answer to your inquiry relative to the Jesuit Pottawattamie Mission at Council Bluffs, I am able to inform you that the last resident missionary departed from the place in July or Au^st, 1841. The last entry in the baptismal register of the mission, bears date July 17, 1841. I am very sincerely yours, G. J. Gaeeaghan, S. J." The "Old Fort" or "Mission House", with other buildings used for mission purposes, stood upon the West half of the Southwest quarter of Section 30, Township 75 North, of Range 43 West, Fifth Principal Meridian; and, upon its inclusion in the application for entry of the townsite of Council Bluffs, that tract became a bone of contention between Mrs. S, T. Carey and the Catholic Church. In the record of evidence relating to the long-drawn-out controversy that ensued (Case No. 139, Pottawattamie file. No. 40-L) before the Indian OfBce and Land Department, is an affidavit made by Stutely E. Wicks, wherein he alleged : "... That, about the year 1837 two Catholic priests, named Veright and De Smith, took possession of the buildings and a small field adjacent thereto and continued to occupy the same until some time in 1842. . . . " It will be observed that Mr. Wicks was mistaken, both as to the date when the mission was established and when it was abandoned. The foregoing sets out all that the writer has been able to discover, relating to the "Old Blockhouse at Council Bluffs", by a most thorough search of governmental records and examination of numerous other sources of information ; together wnth some things, true and otherwise, that have been written and published, as well as the memory pictures of the establishment retained by himself and others still living who saw it at an early day. It would appear, from the record evidence, conclusive and con- vincing in character, that all that ever existed of the "Old Fort" was the simple little blockhouse, twenty-four feet square, erected by Captain D. B. Moore in 1837. That the "Old Mission" consisted of that building, to which addition was made by the missionaries in 1839 ; the little cabins given to the Fathers by Chief Billy Caldwell in 58 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS 1838, and the house erected by the missionaries at the same time that enlargement of the church was made, as described by Father De Smet. The illustration which accompanied the article of Mr. Bloomer, in Annals of Iowa, later used in Gue's History of Iowa, is reproduced herein to the end that the reader may more readily understand the comment of the writer in relation thereto. From personal observation, almost daily, for a period of fully twenty years, the writer knows, of his own knowledge, that there was never a road up the nose of the promontory upon which the old building stood. He believes that it would have been impossible to construct there such a road as that depicted in the illustration and still have left on the little plateau at the top sufficient space for such buildings as there portrayed. Even had the construction of such roadway been practicable, there would have been no necessity for so doing, because the plateau was easily accessible from both east and west by gentle inclines having ample space for roadways. See supposititious picture of the old blockhouse, showing topography as remembered by the writer. Captain Moore's command consisted of only sixty-six persons; it arrived at the Pottawattamie country August 4, and departed thence November 1, 1837. Such force could not, within such period, have constructed such works as Mr. Simons' memory or imagination de- picted when he made the drawing that was used in preparing the illustration. It would be folly to discuss or attempt to explain the differences between the several memory pictures of the "Old Fort" as set out by persons who have been heard, and the facts as disclosed by official records and other evidence. It is deemed sufficient to say that, memory, especially that extending back to childhood days, is fre- quently at fault—"distance lends enchantment to the view"—and one relying merely upon memory will find, upon investigation, that she is frequently an unfaithful painter who magnifies, softens and gilds the images which she presents, misleading the individual as to facts and appearances with which one may for years have believed oneself thoroughly familiar. "Things are not what they seem." THE OLD BLOCKHOUSE 59 60 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS THE OLD BLOCKHOUSE. (Supposititious Picture) By this picture attempt is made to depict the old blockhouse as it probably appeared when completed by Captain D, B. Moore in 1837, together with the blunt nose of bluff whereon it stood. No portholes are shown because there was no reason why any should have been originally provided. United States troops did not ordinarily employ cannon in the control of the Indians at that early day, and it is not probable that the same were furnished the Pottawattamies for their protection. The building was a simple hewn-log structure, twentyfour feet square, without openings on the north and west sides except loopholes for small-arms fire. After it came into the possession of the Jesuit missionaries small windows were cut in those sides which were afterward taken by some to have been portholes for cannon fire. The folly of such belief is apparent upon consideration of the size and character of the building, and what would probably have happened to the occupants had a large gun been fired from the inside. No frontier blockhouse, even at the largest of the government military posts, appears to have been constructed with a view to firing cannon from within. When cannon were provided for such posts they were usually mounted outside the buildings in bastions especially designed for the purpose. FORT CROGHAN. May 31, 1842, Captain John H. K. Burgwin, under orders from the War Department established a military cantonment, for the protection of the Pottawattamie Indians against threatened attack by the Sioux, the garrison consisting of one company of dragoons. July 1, 1842, the Captain reported to the Adjutant General of the Army, from ''Camp Fenwick, on the Missouri river near Council Bluffs", that he had established encampment as above set forth. October 7, 1842, in connection with report as to condition of his command and post, Captain Burgwin suggested the substitution of the name ' ' Fort Croghan ' ' for the station in lieu of ' ' Camp Fenwick. ' ' November 8, 1842, Brigadier General R. Jones, Adjutant General, approved the suggestion of Captain Burgwin, and thereafter the cantonment was known as "Fort Croghan", being so indicated on a map published by the War Department in 1843 in connection with the report of the explorations made by J, N. Nicollet and Lieutenant John C. Fremont, 1838-9. When it became definitely determined, against earnest protest by Captain Burgwin, that the post should be maintained during the ensuing winter, due preparation was made by the erection of log quarters for the officers and men and suitable protection for the animals; the tents theretofore used were stored, and the cantonment assumed a more permanent appearance. April 17, 1843, from "Fort Croghan, I. T." Captain Burgwin reported the greatest rise in the Missouri river known within seven- teen years; that his camp was threatened by the flood and he had prepared for removal "to the Bluffs, which are about six miles from me". August 15, 1843, still using the "Fort Croghan" heading, the Captain reported the original camp yet surrounded by water; that it would probably not be fit for future use ; that troops were no longer needed in the locality, and requested relief from further duty there. His request was granted and the command returned to Fort Leavenworth, from which place the Captain submitted report, dated October 13, 1843, saying that his command had just arrived and that Fort Croghan was abandoned on the 6th of that month. The foregoing brief sketch of "Fort Croghan" is compiled from 62 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS unpublished orders, reports and letters in the files of the office of the Adjutant General, War Department, Washington. The use of the date line **Fort Croghan, I. T." by Captain Burgwin clearly fixes the site of the cantonment on the east (left) bank of the Missouri river. In his "American Fur Trade of the Far West" (Vol. 3, page 950), General Hiram Martin Chittenden says that: "Fort Croghan stood a little above the Union Pacific bridge in Omaha;" but he is mistaken, as Captain Burgwin 's report dated April 17, 1843, clearly demonstrates. The fact that Captain Burgwin continued to use the headline ' ' Fort Croghan" after the removal of the command to the highlands, in- dicates that the name applied to the territory under his jurisdiction rather than to the cantonment itself or to its precise site. The precise plot of ground upon which the original location of "Camp Fenwick" and "Fort Croghan" was made, or whether the log structures of 1843 were erected upon that identical spot, is not known and may never be positively determined ; nor is there attainable evidence to show conclusively to what place Captain Burgwin re- ferred when he reported: "I commenced yesterday morning moving the public property to the Bluffs which are about six miles from me" — the point to which the troops removed and took position that was maintained during the remainder of their stay in the vicinity. No records exist containing specific descriptions of these sites or either of them. Probably the most circumstantial reference to and description of the two points occupied by Captain Burgwin as "Fort Croghan" here- tofore published, is contained in an article that appeared in the Annals of Iowa (3d Series, Volume 3, page 471), which is here re- produced in full, viz.: "Fort Croghan.—:In April, 1842, while the Pottawattamie Indians were located in what is now the eastern part of Potta- wattamie County, it was thought necessary to send up the TSTissoiiri river a detachment of troops for their protection. Captain John H. K. Burgwin therefore arrived on a steamef from Fort Leavenworth, with a company of United States troops, and established a post on the edge of the timber at Section 10, near the present southwest corner of the city of. Council Bluffs. This he first na,me!i . ',!Q^inD FenwicfcV-fei*! FORT CROGHAN 63 afterwards changed it to 'Fort Croghan'. There has been §ome"*3ispiite about the location, but ' there is certain evidence ', says Hon. D. C. Bloomer, 'that it stood as mentioned'. The troops staid there during the remainder of 1842, and until the spring of 1843, when a great flood covered the Missouri Bottoms compelling the command to remove to a temporarylocation on the western side of Little Mosquito Creek, on the high grounds later occupied by Mr. J. P. Casady for farming purposes. Here they remained until the water, which covered the valley, subsided, when they returned to the fort. In September, following, the presence of the troops being no longer necessary for the protection of the Indians, the company, still under the command of Capt. Burgwin, returned to Ft. Leavenworth, and 'Fort Croghan' was abandoned, never again to be occupied. For the above information we are indebted to Hon. D. C. Bloomer, of Council Bluffs." As stated elsewhere in this work the writer resided at Council Bluffs from 1853 to 1874, and was very familiar with the surrounding country, having gunned for ducks, prairie chickens, turkeys and other game, pretty much all "round about there", and, upon reading the foregoing article, a few months ago, he was surprised by some of the statements therein contained ; doubted that the original encampment of Captain Burgwin was located upon "Section 10" and knew that J. P. Casady 's farm was not near the Little Mosquito creek, but on Pony creek, some three miles south and one mile east of the mouth of the Little Mosquito. So, contemplating the writing of this paper, he began investigating. Mr, Edgar R. Harlan, Curator of the Historical Department of Iowa, at Des Moines, under the direction of whom Annals of Iowa is now published, has furnished copies of letters sent to Hon. Charles Aldrich, founder of the Historical Department of Iowa, by Mr. Bloomer, including that ' ' certain evidence ' ' referred to in the article quoted above. There are two letters from Mr. Bloomer dated, re- spectively, November 24 and 25, 1896, the latter being in correction of a clerical error in and elaborative of the former. Both are here quoted to the end that the entire matter may be fairly placed before the reader: "Council Bluffs, Iowa, Nov. 24, 1896. "Hon. Charles Aldrich, Des Moines, Iowa. "Dear Sir: "I return the correspondence relative to Fort Croghan and its occupancy by U. S. troops in 1842-3. 64 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS "The question as to the actual location of Camp Fenwick, changed to Fort Croghan, has elicited a good deal of contro- versy among the people in this section. I have spent a good deal of time and made some journeys in order to settle it in my own mind. Some claim that it was on the west side of the river, up in the vicinity of Old Fort Atkinson, later known as Fort Calhoun. Others claim that it was on the east side of the river, on the wide bottom, a few miles south of the present site of the modern Council Bluffs. My great object was to find some one who then resided here, and who could from personal recollections settle the question. And such a person I have at last found in Mr. Richard S. Hardin, an old gentleman, son of Indian agent Hardin, who came here with the Pottawattamie Indians in 1838, and who now resides at Nodaway Station in Missouri. In a letter written to me on the 21st of November, 1896, he says: ' ' ' The old Fort you wish to know about was built in '42, and vacated in the spring of '43, on account of high water. It was northwest of my old farm 3i/4 of a mile, in the edge of the timber on the bottom. When they left it they stuck their tents in the hollow near where Judge Casady 's house stands. If there is anything I can give you light on, let me know. I think I will be in Council Bluffs in the spring, and if you will get a reporter, I will answer any questions you may wish to ask, as I think I am the only man living now that can'. "This statement is reliable and really settles the question. It corresponds perfectly with the letter of Capt. Burgwin, '43, page 6, in which he stated that his cantonment 'was flooded and that he had commenced removing the public property to the Bluffs, which are about six miles from me'. True, his first letter was written from 'Camp Fenwick near Council Bluffs' evidentlj'' referring to the Council Bluffs of the olden time, but that point was less than twenty miles distant, and was the name then applied to all this immediate region. I may add that A. D. Jones, now of Omaha, who in early days resided in Council Bluffs and made the first survey of the town in 1852, insists that 'Camp Fenwick—Fort Croghan' was on the east side of the river not far from the southwest corner of the present corporate limits of the city of Council Bluffs. It was very near, almost the middle of, the then home of the Potta- wattamies—the very Indians Captain Burgwin was sent here to protect, although as it turned out, no protection was required, ' ' This Fort Croghan had no connection in any way with the military buildings, the 'Old Block House in Council Bluffs' at or near the Bryant Springs. That had been built by U. S. troops in 1839. They seem to have left and Capt. Burgwin 's Company was probably sent to take their place. Instead, how- FORT CROGHAN 65 ever, of going to the old site, they camped on the bottom near the timber, three or four miles distant in a southwesterly direc- tion from it. Possibly, when I have the interview with Mr. Hardin, this point will also be explained more fully. Very truly, D. C. Bloomer." "Council Bluffs, Nov. 25, 1896. "Mr. Charles Aldrich. "Dear Sir: Referring to my letter of yesterday in relation to the location of Camp Fenwick—Fort Croghan, I would state that I have just received a letter from Mr. Hardin in which he states that the fort instead of being 3 and i/4 miles northwest from his old farm, that it was only % of a mile from it. I suspected that this was the fact, and this correction enables us to exactly locate the spot. Mr. Hardin's old farm was in the FA/2 of the SE14 of Section 15-74-44, and % of a mile from it takes us to the £1/2 of Section 10 in the same township and range, and through about the center of this section the line of timber passed. That was the identical spot where the old fort stood. And now I remember that when I first came to the county 41 years ago, there was right there the remains of buildings of some kind, erected in former years. It turns out now that they had been erected by the U. S. troops under Capt. Burgwin in the first instance, and perhaps reconstructed by the Mormons. Yours very truly, D. C. Bloomer. "P. S.—I enclose plat of Tp. 74-44, which shows the loca- tion." In that portion of this work relating to the Pottawattamie Indians it is clearly shown that they arrived at or near the present site of the city of Council Bluffs July 28, 1837 ; that the blockhouse was built at that time; that Davis Hardin (father of R. S. Hardin) was not agent for those Indians; that the farm entered by R. S. Hardin in 1854,—undoubtedly the place mentioned by him as "my old farm", — consisted of Lot 1 (Wi/gSWi^) Sec. 14, and E1/2SE14 Sec. 15, in the township indicated by Mr. Bloomer. On this tract the plat of the United States survey made in 1852 shows three houses, of which two are on the lot 4. It was in one of the latter, according to the writer's recollection, wherein Mr. Hardin resided, about one mile from the old steamboat landing as indicated by the plat of survey. 66 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS On the S1^NE14 Sec. 15 of said township appears the village of "Council Point", immediately north of and contiguous to the western part of the Hardin farm, and almost exactly three-quarters of a mile from R. S. Hardin's dwelling. In the belief of the writer the site of Council Point, Camp Fenwick or Fort Croghan, was identical. The place was probably renamed because of the fact that it was there that the Pottawattamie Indians of the Iowa region met the Commissioners of the United States June 5, 1846, and signed the treaty ceding their lands, which had actually been negotiated at Washington between the head men of the nation and government officials at a time previous. The buildings erected by Captain Burgwin 's command in 1842 afforded facilities for such transaction not existing at any other place near by. It is impossible to secure conclusive evidence to support these as- sumptions; but they do no violence to Mr, Hardin's testimony as furnished by Mr. Bloomer. No point in section ten, Mr. Bloomer's location of Camp Fenwick, could have been reached by traveling only three-quarters of a mile northwest from Mr, Hardin's farm house. The plat of government survey shows only one house on Section 10, and none other is mentioned in the field notes of the survey as being on said section. When the Mormons reached that locality, June, 1846, they found the little village of Council Point already named, and it was there that their High Council was organized July 21, by which was accepted the name "Miller's Hollow" that had attached to the settlement made by the Saints on the site of the present city of Council Bluffs. Mr. A. D. Jones, who resided at Council Bluffs for some time after the advent of the writer in that vicinity and was well known to him, has been quoted as supporting the claim that Fort Croghan was near the original site mentioned in the article quoted from Annals of Iowa ; it being said that he made a survey of the city in 1852, and is therefore an authority. If he made survey of any part of the city his work was private and not public in character. In a letter dated Maj' 9, 1916, the Council Bluffs City Engineer says: "There is no evidence in my office to indicate that a survey of the town was made by A. D. Jones prior to the survey made by Tostevin". (1854.) Judge (J. P.) Casady never owned, resided upon or cultivated any farm near the site mentioned in the quoted article other than that FORT CROGHAN 67 embracing the SE1/4SE14 Sec. 9; SW14SWI/4, El/2SWl^ Sec. 10; NE14NW1/4, Wy2NWi/4 Sec. 15, and EVaNEi^ Sec. 16, T. 74 N., R. 43 W. Six miles due east and across Mosquito creek from the Ft. Croghan site mentioned in the quoted article, and about two miles back of the first bluffs skirting the Missouri river bottom. In 1843 that would have been an inaccessible and undesirable site for a militaryencampment dependent upon steamboat transportation for its supplies. The boat landing was more than five miles, air line, from such site, and no practicable route between the points could have been less than eight miles. Mr. Hardin could not have intended to designate the Casady farm as the site where the troops "stuck their tents". Judge Casady owned and resided for some years in a house in Council Bluffs, near the mouth of what was known in early days as "Duck Hollow", only a short distance from the "Old Block House", It was one of the most prominent houses of that time in the city. Just to the east of it, and immediately north from the old blockhouse, was a broad, almost level plateau, an ideal spot for a military camp such as required by Captain Burgwin's command, and, notwithstanding Mr. Bloomer's positive assertion that the blockhouse and Fort Croghan had "no connection in any way", it very convincingly appears from unpublished letters of the Pottawattamie sub-agent, written in 1842 and 1843, that the dragoons at that time used the blockhouse for storage purposes. (See Mr. Elliott's letter of June 1, 1843, quoted in connection with "Pottawattamie Indians" and "Old Blockhouse", elsewhere in this work.) It is the belief of the writer that Captain Burgwin and his men, when forced to retire from the bottom, made their encampment upon the plateau described in the preceding paragraph, and that it was the site referred to in the language quoted in Mr. Bloomer's letter to Mr. Aldrich : "When they left it they stuck their tents in the hollow near where Judge Casady 's house stands". This opinion is corroborated by an unpublished letter from Sub-Agent Elliott, dated June 1, 1843, quoted in the article herein relating to "The Old Blockhouse". True, this site was about five miles from the boat landing, but it was connected therewith by the best and probably only real road in the vicinity at the time, and was at the site of the Caldwell village, then existing, and of the De Smet mission 68 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS abandoned about two years before. Captain Burgwin who had been acting ad interim Sub-Agent for the Pottawattamies, appears to have turned over the agency effects to Sub-Agent Elliott at that point June 1, 1843. Captain Burgwin evidently overestimated the distance between Fort Croghan and the bluffs, as there is no point in the Missouri river bottom, above the boat landing as indicated by government survey, in that vicinity where the air-line distance between river and bluffs is six miles. The early settlers made the same error, calling it six miles from Kanesville to the boat landing, whereas it is little more than four miles. There is no intention to impugn Mr. Bloomer's good faith, nor to question his veracity, by what has been said here ; but simply to differ from some of his inferences, assumptions and conclusions, and to in- dicate the reasons for such differences. The writer knew Mr. Bloomer well and knows him to have been a conscientious man, but doubts the correctness of his findings upon the evidence considered by him, taken in connection with his knowledge of the locality and the subjects of which he was writing. On whatever particular sites the "Camp Fenwick" and "Fort Croghan" of Captain Burgwin may have stood, in the vicinity of Council Bluffs, there is ample evidence that neither was in the immediate vicinity of the Council Bluff of Lewis and Clark, nor in any manner connected with Fort Atkinson which was located near the latter. It has been said that there was once a "Fort Croghan" on or near the site of the latter place ; but there appears to be no record evidence to sustain such allegation. Mr. A. D. Jones, at the time Secretary of the Old Settlers' Association of Omaha, addressed a letter of inquiry to Father De Smet, containing several interrogations, to which the eminent missionary, writing from ' ' St. Louis University, December 26, 1867 ' ', made separate replies, in part as follows : "To the best of my knowledge, and assisted by Captain Joseph La Barge, the old explorer of the Missouri river, I will here answer your various questions: "First, 'Where was old Fort Calhoun located?' ' ' Fort Calhoun was never located ; it took the name of Fort Atkinson, which was built on the very spot where the council was held by Lewis and Clark, and was the highest and first military post above the mouth of the Nebraska (Platte) river. "Second, 'Where was old Fort Croghan?' FORT CROGHAN 69 ''After the evacuation of Fort Atkinson or Calhoun, either in 1827 or 1828, or thereabouts, the troops came down and made winter quarters on Cow Island—Captain La Barge states it was called Camp Croghan. The next spring the flood dis- turbed the soldiers and they came down and established Fort Leavenworth, Colonel Leavenworth was commandant at the breaking up of Fort Atkinson. (See pages 1533-34-35, Chittenden and Richardson's Life, Letters and Travels of Father De Smet, Volume 4, where the letter above quoted is credited to Nebraska Historical Society's Report.) "Third, 'There is an earthen remain of fortifications on the east bank of Omaha ; do you know who built it ? ' "The remains alluded to must be the site of the old trading post of Mr. Heart. When it was in existence the Missouri river ran up to the trading post. In 1832 the river left it, and since that time it goes by the name of 'Heart's Cut-Off', leaving a large lake above Council Bluffs city." Assuming this last information to be correct, a starting point is established from which, with other existing evidence, a fairly good inference may be derived respecting the location to which Captain Burgwin removed the government property and his command upon the occasion of the flood in the spring of 1843. The log of the steamboat ' ' Omega ' ', on a voyage made in 1843, contains the following entries : "May 9, Tuesday. Passed Trudeau Island, Five Barrels Island, la Calumet, L'Oeil de fer. . . . Went on to L 'Issue, where I put off freight for the sutler and for Captain Burgwin. Set out at 7 P. M. and camped above the bad sandbar, near the marsh at Hart's cut-off at 9 P. M. "May 10, Wednesday. We progressed finely as far as Hart's Bluffs (cotes a Hart), where at 7 A. M., we were summoned by an officer and four dragoons to land. I received a polite note from Captain Burgwin informing me that it was his duty to make an inspection of the boat. We put ourselves to work immediately, while Mr. Audubon goes to call upon the Captain. They return in about two hours. . . ." (See Chittenden's American Fur Trade of the Far West, Vol. 3, page 988; also Chittenden's History of Early Navigation on the Missouri river. Life and Adventures of Joseph La Barge, Vol. 1, pages 143-144.) The following extract is from the work last mentioned, and is a part of a very circumstantial account of the inspection of the boat, viz. : 70 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS ' * On the occasion of the voyage of 1843 the agent at Bellevue happened to be absent from his station when the boat arrived. Elated at this unexpected good fortune, Captain Sire lost no time in putting off the freight destined for this point and in getting on his way. He pursued his voyage until nine o'clock that evening, and doubtless felicitated himself that he was out of danger. But it appears that the agent had delegated the function of inspector during his absence to the commander of the United States troops in the vicinity. The boat left her mooring at daylight next morning, but had scarcely gotten under way when a couple of rifle shots were fired across her bow. She brought to at once and made for the shore. There Captain Sire found a lieutenant in charge of a few dragoons, who had come from his camp four miles distant. The young officer came on board and presented to Captain Sire a polite note from Captain Burgwin, commander of the camp, stating that his orders required him to inspect the boat before letting her proceed. ' ' This was like a dash of cold water to the buoyant spirits of Captain Sire, and none the less so to Audubon, to whom, as well as the company, the loss of the liquid portion of the cargo would have been irreparable. The naturalist had a permit from the government to carry with him a quantity of liquor for the use of himself and party, and upon showing his cre- dentials to the young officer he was, to use his own words, 'im- mediately settled comfortably'. But in the moment of his good fortune he did not forget his companions who were not yet 'settled comfortably'. He understood that time was required to prepare for the approaching function, and he could at least help to secure this time by delaying inspection as long as possible. He accordingly expressed a desire to visit the camp, and the lieutenant detailed a dragoon to accompany him. The great naturalist rode four miles to call upon an obscure army officer whom he knew he could see in a short time by waiting at the boat. . . . " The Audubon referred to in the foregoing excerpts was the well- known and justly celebrated naturalist John James Audubon, and his own story of this occurrence, more interesting for the evidence and information it contains than because of the importance of the trans- action above mentioned, is as follows: "May 9, Tuesday. Another fine day. After running until eleven o 'clock we stopped to cut wood. . . . This afternoon we reached Bellevue where resides the brother of Mr. Sarpy of St. Louis, as well as the Indian Agent, or as he might be more appropriately called, the Custom House officer. Neither were at home, both away on the Platte river, about 300 miles FORT CROGHAN 71 off. . . . We landed some cargo for the establishment. . . , The store is no great affair, and yet I am told that they drive a good trade with the Indians on the Platte river, and others on this side of the Missouri. We unloaded some freight and pushed off. . . . We soon reached the post of Fort Croghan, so called after my old friend of that name with whom I hunted Raccoons on his father's plantation in Kentucky some thirty-eight years ago, and whose father and mine were well acquainted, and fought together in conjunction with Washington and Lafayette during the Revolutionary War, against 'Merrie England'. Here we found only a few soldiers, dragoons; their camp and officers having been forced to move across the prairie to the bluffs, five miles. After we had put out some freight for the sutler, we proceeded on until we stopped for the night a few miles above, on the same side of the river. The soldiers assured us that their parade ground and so-called barracks, had been four feet under water, and we saw fair and sufficient evidence of this. . . . We landed for the night under trees covered by muddy deposits from the great overflow of this season. I slept soundly, and have this morning, May 10, written this. "May 10, Wednesday. The morning was fine, and we were under way at daylight, but a party of dragoons, headed by a lieutenant, had left the camp four miles distant from our anchorage at the same time, and reached the shore before we proceeded far; they fired a couple of shots ahead of us, and we brought to at once. The young officer came on board, and presented a letter from his commander. Captain Burgwin, from which we found that we had to have our cargo examined. Our captain was glad of it, and so were we all ; for, finding that it would take several hours, we at once made ready to go ashore. I showed my credentials and orders from the Government, Major Mitchell of St. Louis, etc., and I was therefore immediately settled comfortably. I desired to go to see the com- manding officer, and the lieutenant very politely sent us there on horseback, guided by an old dragoon of considerable re- spectability. I was mounted on a young white horse, Spanish saddle with holsters, and we proceeded across the prairie to- wards the Bluffs and the camp. My guide was anxious to take a short cut, and took me across several bayous, one of which was reaUy up to the saddle ; but we crossed that, and coming to another we found it so miry, that his horse wheeled after two or three steps, whilst I was looking at him before starting myself ; for you all well know that an old traveler is, and must be prudent. We had now to retrace our steps till we reached the very tracks that the squad sent after us in the morning had taken, and at last we reached the foot of the Bluffs, when my 72 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS guide asked me if I 'could ride at a gallop', to which not answering him, but starting at once at a round run, I neatly passed him ere his horse was well at the pace ; on we went, and in a few minutes we entered a beautiful dell or valley, and were in sight of the encampment. We reached this in a trice, and rode between two lines of pitched tents to one at the end, where I dismounted, and met Captain Burgwin, a young man brought up at West Point, with whom I was on excellent and friendly terms in less time than it has taken me to write this account of our meeting. I showed him my credentials, at which he smiled, and politely assured me that I was too well known throughout the country to need any letters. While seated in front of his tent, I heard the note of a bird new to me, and as it proceeded from a tree above our heads, I looked up and saw the first Yellow-headed Troupial that ever came across my own migrations. . . . The Captain and the doctor, Madison by name, returned with us to the boat, . . . The officers came on board and we treated them as hospitably as we could; they ate lunch with us, and are themselves almost destitute of provisions. . . . The Sioux Indians are great enemies to the Pottawattamies, and very frequently kill several '^ the latter in their predatory excursions against them. This ~Hihd of warfare has rendered the Pottawattamies very cowardly, which is quite a remarkable change from their previous valor and daring. . . . We left our anchorage (which means tied to the shore) at twelve o'clock, and about sunset we did pass the real Council Bluff. Here, however, the bed of the river is utterly changed, you may yet see that which is called the Old Missouri. The Bluffs stand, truly speaking, on a beautiful bank about forty feet above the waters and run off on a rich prairie, to the hills in the background to a gentle slope, that renders the whole place a fine and very remarkable spot. . . ." (See Audubon and His Journals, by Maria R. Audubon, with Zoological and Other Notes, by Elliott Coues, Volume 1, pages 477 to 482.) At the time referred to in the foregoing extracts, from the lower end (or mouth) of the then known "Hart's Cut-off"; that is from the western end of the lake formed by that change in location, the Missouri river flowed in a northwesterly and westerly course through "Cutoff Lake", shown upon recent maps, thence southerly, about as is now does, near the foot of the bluff where stands the city of Omaha, except that at about the site of South Omaha it bore further west, sweeping against the bluff ; thence, by a broad curve, southward and easterly, and then bearing to the north and east, it passed on the FORT CROGHAN 73 eastern side of the Hardin farm and village of Council Point ; thence, through what is now "Lake Manawa", turning to the east and south, bore southwesterly beyond Trader's Point (Point aux Poulos). So, the Hardin farm and Council Point were within what was locally known later as the * ' Big Bend ' '. The distance between Bellevue and Hart's Bluffs, by the course of the river, was much greater in 1843 than now. Beginning on the river bank about a mile south and west from the Hardin farm, a large marsh, with many lateral branches, extended up the river to the shore of the lake formed by Hart's Cut-Off. Its width varied from one-half to one and one-half miles, and covered nearly all of the surface, though there was exposed a high point in the angle between the river and the lake where now is "East Omaha" or "West End",—the name depending upon whether one is in Omaha or Council Bluff's. This was the marsh referred to in the "Omega" log. The location of the "bad sandbar" near this marsh is not deter- minable; Missouri river sandbars are not stable land marks. It is probable that it was not far from Hardin's, possibly near the site of South Omaha. When the writer arrived at Council Bluffs, in 1853, the swamp still existed in diminished area and some of it may be there yet. For many years thereafter—surely up to 1870—portions of it were known to Council Bluffs sportsmen as "Grassy Slough" and "Smith's Lake". Upon resuming her voyage above the "bad sandbar" on the morning of May 10, 1843, the "Omega" progressed finely until stopped by the dragoons at 7 : 00 A. M. Giving due consideration to the course of the river, the slow speed of the boat, it may be assumed that the landing of the "Omega" was at the southern bend of the river, below Hart's Cut-Off, near the then foot of the lake, about two miles from the supposed site of Hart's trading house. The distance from this point to Captain Burgwin's camp, as given by La Barge, was four miles, twice repeated, and Audvibon says the troopers "had left their camp four miles distant from our anchorage at the same time" that the boat got under way. From this "Omega" landing to Casady's farm the distance would have been approximately ten miles by any route then practicable, as may be seen by examination of a sectionized map. The concurrent estimate of time elapsed between Audubon's departure from the boat and his return accompanied by Captain Burgwin and the surgeon is "about two hours", which would indicate 74 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS that such a distance could not have been covered by his travel to and from the military encampment, even had he not spent some time in talk with the officers and in shooting birds, and had no delay occurred by reason of being required, as Audubon says, to "retrace our steps". The distance from the point of landing, as here assumed, to the site of the encampment of Captain Burgwin in Council Bluffs, as suggested hereinbefore, would have been substantially four miles — possibly a trifle less. Audubon's description of the ride along the foot of the bluffs, and " on we went, and in a few minutes we entered a beautiful dell or valley, and were in sight of the encampment", tallies perfectly with the situation last suggested. Had they gone to the Casady farm from the point where the steamer was "summoned to land" they would have been obliged to cross the Mosquito creek, probably unbridged, and if they had done this surely Audubon, noted for attention to minute detail, would have mentioned the fact. It might be said, upon the same line of argument, that it is strange that he did not mention Indian creek, coursing through the "beautiful dell or valley" described; but, one familiar with the location there knows that he might not, in fact would not, have seen Indian creek at all. Coming from the halted steamer the course would naturally, in the condition of affairs then existing, have been along the southern margin of the lake, reaching the bluffs at or near the Mynster Spring, thence along the foot of the bluffs and into the dell, following the present Washington Avenue in Council Bluffs to the site of the en- campment, without even noticing the little rivulet which Indian creek then probably was. Captain Burgwin and his troopers, according to Mr. R. S. Hardin, evacuated their cantonment because of the flood and — "stuck their tents in the hollow near where Judge Casady 's femtse stands," The "Duck Hollow" plateau—on which stood the "Log Tabernacle" of the Mormons—logically meets this description. The conditions leading to the sending of the command of Captain Burgwin to the Pottawattamie country are referred to in the 1842 report of the Indian agent. (See Sen. Doc. No. 1, 3d Sess., 27th Cong., Vol. 1, page 387.) The agent said: * ' There was reason to apprehend, during the last spring, that hostilities would be commenced by the Sioux agaiiLst the united FORT CROGHAN 75 band of Ottawas, Chippewas and Pottawattamies, .on the Missouri, who invited the Delawares to aid in their defence. Prompt and rigorous measures were adopted to prevent this outbreak, which, if it had commenced, would have involved consequences of the most hazardous character to the combatants; would have probably embroiled neighboring tribes, and could lEave "been arrested by the Government only at great cost. A company of dragoons was ordered by your direction fo Council Bluffs, and assurances given the threatened party that they would be protected, while the Indians charged with meditating the attack were warned to abstain from it. These measures were effective, and the quiet of the frontier has been preserved. ' * In addition to Captain Burgwin's report hereinbefore mentioned, and which no doubt formed the basis of the statement of the War Department, dated January 22, 1916, relative to the period during which "Fort Croghan" was in existence (quoted in connection with the account of the Old Blockhouse), testimony by one who was there present showing the date of abandonment is contained in Audubon's journal of the return trip of his party, made by way of the Missouri river in small boats in the months of September and October, 1843. Under October dates appear the following notes, viz. : "Wednesday, 4th. Cloudy and coldish. Left early and can't find my pocket knife, which I fear I have lost. We were stopped by wind at Cabane Bluffs, about twenty miles above Fort Croghan. . . . Windbound till night, and nothing done. "Thursday, 5th. Blew hard all night, but clear and beautiful sunrise. Started early, but stopped by wind at eight. Bell, Harris and Squires have started off for Fort Croghan. As there was every appearance of rain we left at three and reached the fort about half past four. Found all well, and most kindly received. We were presented with some green corn and had a quantity of bread made; also bought thirteen eggs from an Indian for twenty-five cents. Honey bees are found here, and do well, but none are seen above this place. "Friday, 6th. Some rain and thunder last night. A toler- able day. Breakfast at camp and left at half past eight. Our man Michaux was passed over to the officers' boat, to steer them down to Fort Leavenworth, where they are ordered, but we keep in company, and he is to cook for us at night. The whole station is broken up, and Captain Burgwin leaves in a few hours by land with the dragoons, horses, etc. . . ." 76 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS Inasmuch as Captain Burgwin stated in August that the old en- campment would not be fit for reoccupancy, there is no probability that the troops returned there for encampment prior to departure. Thus ends this story of ''Fort Croghan", which the writer believes to contain all attainable facts material to the history of the canton- ment, as well as some of his own deductions, inferences and assumptions resting upon apparently strong circumstantial evidence when considered in connection with the conditions existing at the time when the transactions occurred. Other troops were sent to this region at various times during the occupancy of the southwestern Iowa country by the Pottawattamie Indians, but none other than those mentioned herein and in the several articles comprised in the booklet appear to have been quartered in the immediate vicinity of the site of the present city of Council Bluffs. THE MORMONS. The beginning of the history of civil government at and in the vicinity of the site of the present city of Council Bluffs dates from, the arrival there of the Mormons—' ' Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints"—on June 14, 1846, Whither they were going, that is to say, where would they fix their permanent resting place, was at that time unknown even to their leaders. They were fleeing from persecution which they had suffered for a period of years in various portions of the United States, especially in Ohio, Missouri and Illinois, and they had started upon a pilgrimage, seeking, like the Children of Israel of old, a New Zion or "promised land". There is strong proof to indicate that it was their intention, at the time of leaving the beautiful city of Nauvoo—the largest then in the State of Illinois—which they had builded at much expense, time and labor, to go beyond the jurisdiction of the Government of the United States; and there is good reason for the belief that California—then a part of Mexico—was the contemplated goal; that they intended to effect settlement there and, eventually, to seize the territory occupied and found a government of their own. And there is evidence of no mean character to indicate that in such enterprise they were encour- aged and promised aid by prominent officials of the United States Government, and that the Government itself, as represented by several cabinet officers and influential members of the Senate, if not actually a party to the undertaking, allowed it to be understood that the move- ment would not meet with federal opposition or interference. It was under such conditions and with the hope that at least the advance parties would reach the Pacific coast that season that the emigrants began crossing the Mississippi river on February 5 and 6, 1846, and established their first camp on Sugar creek, opposite Nauvoo and not far from Keokuk, in the Territory of Iowa, where, on the 15th of that month, they were joined by Brigham Young and other leaders, and organization of the caravans was begun. The start from Sugar creek was made on March 1, 1846, and at about the same time the ship ' ' Brooklyn ' ', with a number of ' ' Saints ' ' and large quantities of supplies on board, sailed from New York, via Cape Horn, for San Francisco, 78 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS On March 21, 1846, near the river Chariton, the organization of the ' ' Camps of Israel ' ' was perfected. Near the end of April, Garden Grove (so named by them) was reached and there was established a settlement. Shortly afterward another settlement was founded at what they called Mount Pisgah ; and, on June 14, the head of the column reached the Missouri river at or near the site of the present city of Council Bluffs, where another settlement was begun. These settlements were made for the purpose of affording rest for the moving trains, for the planting of crops to be cultivated and used by following parties, and similar ones were to be established and maintained along the route, as relay stations, forming a continuous line of connection from the beginning to the end of the journey, and they were called "Stakes of Zion". Within a iew days after arrival at Council Bluffs Captain James Allen, with a few dragoons, visited the camp and laid before the leaders a proposition, submitted by the Government through Colonel Stephen W. Kearny, commandant of the military district with headquarters at Fort Leavenworth, for the raising by the Mormon Church of a force of from five hundred to one thousand men for service in the war with Mexico. As an inducement for compliance with the re- quest it was promised that the men should be taken through to Cali- fornia, where, at the expiration of the term of enlistment, they would be discharged with fuU pay and permitted to retain their arms and all equipment. There not being a sufficient number at Council Bluffs, Brigham Young, Heber C. Kimball and Willard Richards (of the High Council), accompanied by Captain Allen and three dragoons, visited the settlement at Mount Pisgah, and, by sending messengers to Garden Grove, secured volunteers to the number of five hundred and twenty. Within three days after the arrival of these men at Council Bluffs they were equipped, mustered into the United States service and ready to march to Fort Leavenworth, for which place they departed on July 20, 1846. "A Concise History of the Mormon Battalion in the Mexican War — 1846-1847—by Sergeant Daniel Tyler", is the title of a work con- taining much first-hand information concerning the movements of this body of troops. Incorporated in it are various other papers, one of which is "The Mormons, a Discourse delivered before the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, March 26, 1850, by Thomas L. Kane". Speaking of the raising of this battalion, he having been present at the time, Mr. Kane said : THE MORMONS 79 "They were collected a little above the Pottawattamie Agency. The hills of the 'High Prairie' crowding upon the river at this point, and overhanging it, appear of an unusual and commanding elevation. They are called the Council Bluffs ; a name given them with another meaning, but well illustrated by the picturesque congress of their high and mighty summits. To the south of them, a rich alluvial flat of considerable width follows down the Missouri, some eight miles, to where it is lost from view at a turn, which forms the site of an Indian town of Point aux Poules. ' ' Referring to the departure of the volunteers for Fort Leavenworth, many of whom were married and leaving wives and children, and the events connected therewith, the author said: ' ' There was no sentimental leave taking. The afternoon was appropriated to a farewell ball ; and a more merry dancing rout I have never seen, though the company went without re- freshments, and their ball room was of the most primitive. It was the custom, whenever the larger camps rested for a few days together, to make great arbors, or boweries, as they called them, of poles and brush, and wattling, as places of shelter for their meetings of devotion or conference. In one of these where the ground had been trodden firm and hard by the worshippers of the popular Father Taylor's precinct, was gathered now the mirth and beauty of the Mormon Israel, . . . Light hearts, lithe figures and light feet, had it their own way from an early hour till after the sun had dipped behind the sharp sky-line of the Omaha hills," The precise place where these troops were mustered does not appear in any of the works which have fallen under the eye of the writer here, but in the Journal of Sergeant William Hyde, incorporated in Sergeant Tyler's Histoiy (page 128), it is said: "We were mustered into the service of the United States on the 16th of July, 1846, and marched to the Missouri river, a distance of eight miles. . , , " Reverend Henry De Long, who still resides at Council Bluffs, was with the Mormons who early arrived at that place, being then some twelve or fourteen years of age. In a letter addressed to the writer November 18, 1915, he says: "My remembrance of the raising of the Mormon Battalion is this: They had a regular city composed of wagons and tents; some four thousand inhabitants, at what is now Dodge 80 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS Orchard and J. G. Rice's place. Brigham Young's tent was the most conspicuous of them all. A flag pole sixty or eighty feet high stood in front of it. Amidst the beating of drums and martial music the men fell into line as volunteers were called for. Most of those that went were counseled by Brigham Young to go. When five hundred men w^ere secured they marched to Trader's Point and there took a steamboat for St. Louis, about the middle of July, if I remember rightly. Among them was William Garner. ' ' This would indicate that the first rendezvous of volunteer soldiers in Western Iowa was at the identical place, upon the very same ground, as were those of later date, at the beginning of the War of the Rebellion. On the plateau on the north (right) bank of Mosquito creek, opposite the site of the Institute for the Deaf and Dumb. Mr. De Long is mistaken, however, in regard to the battalion taking passage by steamboat for St. Louis. The record shows that they marched to Trader's Point (Point aux Poules) on the day of muster, where they were outfitted, and thence, by way of Black Snake Hills (St. Joseph), to Fort Leavenworth, from which point, in conjunction with other troops, they marched and found their way, along the old "Santa Fe Trail", onward to California, where, joined with the command of General Kearny, they assisted in the seizure of the territory now embraced in that State which resulted in its becoming a part of these United States. The raising of this battalion resulted in materially modifying the plans of the emigrants. It was believed by the leaders that, with such a reduction of their numbers, the taking away of the flower of their defensive force, it would not be prudent to undertake to cross the plains that season in the face of the numerous bands of hostile Indians ; so a semi-permanent encampment was established at Council Bluffs, then still in the possession of the Pottawattamie Indians, though they had previously negotiated and some of them had signed a treaty by which their lands were ceded to the United States. These Indians were, under the circumstances, willing that the emigrants should live among them and readily granted permission. To the end that an early resumption of their journey the following season should not be interfered with by late opening of the Missouri river, it was deemed advisable that the main body should cross the stream and, if possible, make settlement on its western (right) bank. Accordingly negotiations were begun with the Omaha Indians who THE MORMONS 81 then occupied the lands on that side. Those Indians being at war with the Sioux immediately recognized the advantage it would be to them to have so large a body of whites upon their northern border, who would serve as a buffer and protect them from the onslaughts of their enemies; therefore, permission was readily granted by them that the emigrants should occupy the territory for a period not ex- ceeding two years. Because of the beauty of the site, its desirability on account of bountiful supplies of wood and water, and because of the existence there of an abandoned trading post, with stockade, in fairly good condition, "Winter Quarters" were established upon the site later occupied by the town of Florence (now embraced within the limits of the Greater Omaha), and Brigham Young and other leaders located headquarters there. In a work the title page of which is, "Route from Liverpool to Great Salt Lake City, Illustrated with Steel Engravings and Wood Cuts from Sketches made by Frederick Piercy; Edited by James Linforth. Liverpool : Published by Franklin D. Richards, 36 Islington. London: Latter Day Saints' Book Depot, 35 Jevin Street, City. MDCCCLV", on page 83, in regard to Winter Quarters, it is said: "Upwards of 1000 houses were soon built—700 of them in about 3 months—on a pretty plateau overlooking the river, and neatly laid out with highways and by ways, and fortified with breastwork and stockade. 'It had too its place of worship, "Tabernacle of the Congregation", and various large workshops, mills and factories provided with water power.' . . . Always capricious, and in this case instigated by white men, the Indians, notwithstanding they had formally given the Saints permission to settle upon their lands, complained to the Indian Agents that they were trespassing upon them, and they were requested to remove. From this circumstance is at- tributable the rise and rapid growth of Kanesville, leaving Winter Quarters again entirely to its savage inhabitants, and only ruins point to its former prosperity, and now its situation. The visit of Mr. Piercy to this place was made in 1853 ©r 1854, at which time it appears that practically all of the improvements made by the Mormons had been destroyed, and the site was used merely as camping grounds for the later emigration of the Saints, and a ferry had been established there. On page 81 of the book just cited it is said: 82 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS "At Kanesville I was kindly permitted to join the emigrating company, under the presidency of Elders Miller and Cooley. . . . The company being ready to move we drove down to Ferryville, or Council Bluffs Ferry, 12 miles distant, and just opposite Winter Quarters, at which point we crossed the Missouri into Indian Territory, now Nebraska and Kansas. "The ferry-boats are flat bottomed, and large enough to carry 2 wagons of ordinary size. The starting point is usually chosen a considerable distance up the stream, so that the current may assist in conveying the boats to the landing place on the opposite side of the river. . , . The camping place on the west side of the Missouri was about a mile from the landing, in the vicinity of 2 springs, near the site of Winter Quarters. I paid a visit to the old place, and found that some person had set fire to the last house that remained of the once flourishing settlement. . . . (Page 84) : "Since the organization of Nebraska Territory an effort has been made, owing to the desirable situation of Winter Quarters, and its good ferriage and water facilities, to build a city by the name of Florence upon the old site. ' ' The total population of Winter Quarters, at the time of the general removal thence in 1848, is not positively known; but, judging from the number of houses erected, it must have been in the neighborhood of from five to six thousand. Probably more than half of the people went with the departing train to Salt Lake City ; and a majority of those remaining removed to Kanesville, while others settled at various places within the Pottawattamie country, notably at C^rterville, Macedonia, Springville, in Pottawattamie County, and Cutler's Camp, Coonville (now Glenwood), and Bethlehem, in what is now Mills County, the last-mentioned place having been swept away by the Missouri river long ago. It was opposite the mouth of the Platte river. Within a few weeks after the arrival of the emigrants at the Missouri river they arranged a form of government for the contemplated en- campment at that point, in regard to which the writer has a letter from the Latter Day Saints' Historian's Office, dated Salt Lake City, Utah, December 24, 1915, giving information as follows : "About the municipal government which obtained from 1846 till the creation of Pottawattamie County, the following is recorded in the Journal History of the 'Mormon Church': THE MORMONS 83 '* 'July 21, 1846, a High Council was organized at Council Point, near Council Bluffs, to preside over the temporal and spiritual affairs of that camp and the other settlements organized since leaving Nauvoo. The following brethren were sus- tained as a High Council : Isaac Morley, Geo. W. Harris, James Allred, Thos. Grover, Phineas Richards, Heman Hyde, Andrew H. Perkins, Wm, G. Perkins, Henry W. Miller, Daniel Spencer, Jonathan H. Hale, and John Murdock.' ' ' The personnel of this High Council was changed from time to time as members of the same migrated to Great Salt Lake Valley, and other men were chosen to fill the vacancies; and, after the organization of Pottawattamie County, the jurisdiction of this High Council was confined to religious or spiritual affairs mainly. ' ' Relative to the first occupancy of any portion of what was the original town on the site of the present city of Council Bluffs, it is said, in the letter here mentioned, that: " ... in the advance company was Bishop Geo. Miller and also Henry W. Miller; the latter Miller soon afterwards settled in what some [time] afterwards became known as 'Miller's Hollow', while the other Miller crossed the river, traveled westward [?] and wintered among the Ponca Indians, 1846-47. "At an adjourned session of a general conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, held in the log tabernacle, Miller's Hollow, April 8, 1848, Orson Hyde moved that 'the place hitherto known as Miller's Hollow be named Kanesville, in honor of Col. Thomas L. Kane.' " That motion was agreed to and the name Kanesville endured until after the final general exodus of the Mormons from the locality. The log tabernacle, referred to above, was erected in December, 1847, and stood on or near what is now known as Harmony Street, between Benton and Frank Streets. The residence of Henry W. Miller, from which the original name was acquired, was north of Broadway and not far from the present site of the Federal building, near Seventh Street. April 7, 1847, Brigham Young, at the head of an exploring party consisting of one hundred and forty-three picked men, embracing eight of the Twelve Apostles, set out from "Winter Quarters" in search of the "Promised Land". He returned on October 31st, having decided upon the Great Salt Lake Valley, and the site of the present 84 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS Salt Lake City, as the most desirable location, and established a colony there. During his absence difficulties arose between the Mormons and the Omaha Indians, resulting in a request by the Indian department of the Government for the abandonment of "Winter Quarters" and other places in the Omaha country then occupied by the Saints. Accordingly, in the spring of 1848, the great body of Mormons then in Nebraska, Brigham at the head, departed on the journey to the newlyestablished Zion, their train comprising six hundred wagons. Those left behind removed to various places on the Iowa side of the river, as hereinbefore stated, and "Winter Quarters", as such, ceased to exist, though it was for many years afterward used as temporary camping ground for Mormon emigrants en route to the Great Salt Lake Valley. In the meantime, however, occurred at Kanesville one of the most important events connected with the history of the church. By those familiar with that history it will be recalled that, after the death of Joseph Smith (the prophet), the then existing organization was abandoned and the affairs temporal and spiritual were vested in a council. On page 114 of the work entitled "Route from Liverpool to Great Salt Lake City", is found the following: "They returned to Winter Quarters, Council Bluffs, where they arrived on the 31st of October, and an Epistle was issued on the 23d of December, by the Twelve Apostles, noticing the principal events which had befallen the Saints since the ex- pulsion from Nauvoo, and the discovery of G. S. L. Valley. It is also stated that it is in contemplation to reorganize the Church, according to the original pattern, with First Presidency and Patriarch. Accordingly, on the 24th, the day following, at a conference held at the ' Log Tabernacle ' in Kanesville, State of Iowa, the suggestion was brought before the Saints who 'hailed it as an action which the state of the work at present demanded', and 'Brigham Young was nominated to be the First President of the Church, and he nominated Heber C. Kimball and Willard Richards to be his two counsellors, which nominations were seconded and carried without a dissentient voice'. The appointment was afterwards acknowledged at a General Conference on the 6th of April, 1848, at the same place at which the appointment was made. ' ' Upon the abandonment of "Winter Quarters" Kanesville became the church official headquarters for the Missouri river country. On THE MORMONS 85 page 648 of "The History of Salt Lake City and its Founders, by Edward W. Tullidge", published by authority of the organization at Salt Lake City, from which work have been gleaned many of the facts set forth herein, appears the following: ''Before the return of the Pioneers to the mountains, they appointed Orson Pratt to preside over the mission in Great Britain, and to push emigration to the fullest extent, while Orson Hyde, George A. Smith and E. T. Benson were stationed at Council Bluffs to receive the emigrants from abroad, and to promote their speedy removal to the Valley, as well as the re- moval of those of the community who had concentrated there after the exodus from Nauvoo." In the letter from the Latter Day Saints Historian's Office, to which reference has hereinbefore been made, it is said : '* ... After the evacuation of Winter Quarters (now Florence), in 1848, nearly all of the Mormons who did not migrate to the 'Valley' that year settled in and near Potta- wattamie County, with headquarters at Kanesville, and at one time there were about forty branches of the Church on that side of the Missouri river. Apostle Orson Hyde presided almost continuouly from 1848 to 1852." Upon petitions submitted by Brigham Young, the Iowa legislature provided for the temporary organization ' ' into a county, by the name of Pottawattamie", of "the country embraced within the limits of what is called the 'Pottawattamie Purchase', the act being approved February 24, 1847; and the Government of the United States es- tablished a postoffice at "Miller's Hollow", to be known as "Kane", January 17, 1848, and Evan M. Greene was appointed postmaster February 7, 1848. Shortly afterward (precise date not officially shown, nor location given,) another postoffice was established in Potta- wattamie County, known as "Nebraska", as the postmaster for which Joseph T. Pendleton was named. May 30, 1849. Inasmuch as it is within the knowledge of the writer that Mr. Pendleton resided at Trader's Point; that the name of the Office is shown by official records to have been changed to Council Bluffs May 30, 1850, and to Trader 's Point on December 10, 1852; that on a map published in 1851 the latter-named place was borne as Council Bluffs; that the name of Kane postoffice was changed to Council Bluffs on December 10, 1852, it would seem reasonable to believe that the postoffice of Nebraska was 86 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS located at Trader's Point. On March 11, 1850, a postoffice was estab- lished at Macedonia. All of these resulted from Mormon effort. February 7, 1849, was issued the first number of the publication called the Frontier Guardian, not precisely a newspaper though in the form of one ; an organ of the Saints, published by Apostle Orson Hyde. Still, it did publish items that might be termed news, but pertaining almost exclusively to church matters. Of course these characteristics were in a measure unavoidable, even had the inclination to make them otherwise existed, because of the isolation of the community on the extreme frontier beyond the lines of ordinary communication. In one of the early issues it was said : ''It affords unmeasured pleasure to see the favorable results of some limited exertions, not long since made, in favor of education. Two flourishing schools in our little town, of about eighty scholars each, conducted by a principal and assistant to each one, with many others in various parts of the country that have sprung into existence." Its issue of June 12, 1850, estimates the number of teams crossing the river during the season, up to that date, at about four thousand five hundred, with probably thirteen thousand five hundred men and about twenty-two thousand horses, mules, oxen and cows; and states that Orson Hyde 's own train would probably consist of seven hundred wagons, with two carding machines and other valuable machinery; also four thousand sheep and five thousand cattle, and added : "We have attended the organization of three hundred and fifty wagons of Salt Lake emigrants up to Saturday the 8th inst. We left them at Council Grove, twelve miles from Bethlehem, west of the Missouri river. ' ' Mr. Kane, in the paper from which quotation has been made hereinbefore, referring to means of crossing the river, said : "Our nearest ferry was that over the Missouri. Nearly opposite the Pull Point, or Point aux Poules, a trading post of the American Fur Company, and village of the Pottawattamies. ' ' The ferry referred to by him was owned and operated by Peter A. garpy—"Colonel Peter A. Sarpy, by-gad, sir,"—as he was wont himself to say, who was what our English friends would term the American Fur Company's "Factor" at Bellevue, nearly opposite Trader's Point, and he had established such exorbitant rates for THE MORMONS 87 ferriage that an opposition establishment was set up a short distance below, at the mouth of the Platte river below the mouth of which was its western landing. James A. Little, in his book entitled "From Kirtland to Salt Lake", to which the present writer is under obligations, referring to the year 1852, says : "For some reason the most of the Mormon emigration traveled the south side of the Platte. They crossed the Missouri river eighteen miles below Kanesville at an insignificant hamlet called Bethlehem. ' ' ( Page 240. ) Mr. Little visited Council Bluffs in 1854 and spent some days there renewing old acquaintance. In describing the place as then seen he said, among other things, that : "Through the western part of the town ran Indian (alias Lousey) creek. . . . Kunning along its western bank about half a mile was Greene Street, so named in honor of Mr. Evan Greene, who was one of the first residents in the locality. He was an early pioneer and the first postmaster of the place, then called Kanesville, in honor of Col. Thos. L. Kane, the philanthropist." He had his points of the compass slightly mixed as any one ac- quainted with the place will readily perceive. At the time of which he wrote Indian creek scarcely touched the western part of the town. It ran through the northern part, for about the distance mentioned by him, turning to the north at the western edge of the town as it then existed, and, skirting the foot of the bluffs for a short way, lost itself in a swamp at the site of Dagger's Mill. But, this is digressing slightly from Mormon days, extending beyond the period of actual Mormon occupancy. Dagger's Mill was erected by Madison Dagger, about 1848, originally a grist mill exclusively; but later a saw was added. Its power was derived from the waters of Indian creek poured upon an overshot wheel. The dam was at Benton street, and the water was carried in a ditch along the north bank of the original stream to the edge of the bluff under which the mill was situated. This ditch followed along the south side of the western part of Greene street, which, for that reason, was called Race street (now Washington Avenue), and was no doubt the stream which Mr. Little supposed to be the creek itself. Almon W. Babbitt, an elder of the Mormon Church and a man of strong personality and combative instincts, never in very high favor 88 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS with the ruling powers, seems to have disliked Apostle Hyde's methods of conducting the Frontier Guardian, and, therefore, in 1850, he founded an opposition publication named the Weekly Western Bugle. It was the fashion among newspapers at that time to carry below the main head line some kind of a motto, and Brother Babbitt seems to have received inspiration for his from the well-known lines of "The Battle Field", by William Cullen Bryant: "Truth crushed to earth shall rise again, — The eternal years of God are hers; But error, wounded, writhes in pain. And dies among her worshippers". So, the motto adopted for the Bugle was, "Truth, tho' crushed, shall rise again." With the departure of Apostle Hyde for Salt Lake City, in 1852, his publication was absorbed by that of Babbitt and the title became the Weekly Wester^i Bugle and Frontier Guardian, under which the paper continued so long as the existing advertising contracts of the Guardian remained in force, when, the name of the town having been changed, the title of the paper became Weekly Council Bluffs Bugle. By this time the concern had passed into the ownership of Joseph E. Johnson and L. O. Littlefield, the former, an elder of the Mormon church, being editor, and the latter, a layman printer, the publisher. But this was after the almost exclusive occupancy and complete control of the town, which had existed for upward of six years, had passed from the church. No evidence has been found to indicate that newspapers or any periodical publications other than the two mentioned, were issued at Kanesville or in the vicinity during the official occupancy by the Mormons. It is believed that there were none. Although the "Stakes of Zion"—(such as Garden Grove, Mount Pisgah, and Winter Quarters) —established by the "Camps of Israel" along the line of march from Nauvoo to Great Salt Lake City were intended merely to be temporary camps, or way stations, fairly per- manent improvements were made at each. Tabernacles were erected, mills built, and business houses established, as indicated by the extract above made from "Route from Liverpool to Great Salt Lake City" descriptive of Winter Quarters; though that was by far the largest and most important of them all. True, no buildings were constructed of brick or stone, nor does it appear that bricks were at any of them manufactured under the direction of the church authorities ; but Rev. THE MORMONS 89 Henry De Long, who has been hereinbefore quoted, under date of March 24, 1916, has informed the writer that : "In 1849, a man by the name of Roberts started a pottery in 'Duck Hollow', what is now Harrison Street, a short distance north of the junction of Harrison and Harmony Streets. In connection with the pottery, a man whose name I have forgotten, burned a brick kiln, and these brick were used in the construction of the little powder magazine that stood on the hill back of the Ogden House. ' ' Inasmuch as the surrounding adjacent country was devoid of coal of any kind, the blacksmiths and other workers in metal were de- pendent for fuel supplies upon the steamboats of the American Fur Company, which passed up and down the river once or twice each season, and upon charcoal manufactured in the locality, consequently there were numerous charcoal pits or kilns in and about Kanesville. When the exodus from Winter Quarters occurred, in May, 1848, the more important of the business concerns of the place removed to Great Salt Lake City, and a number of the smaller establishments recrossed the Missouri r ver and located at Kanes^dlle and adjacent small towns. Many of the? became fixtures and grew into the leading business con- cerns in the -arly life of Council Bluffs. Mormon ontrol in Western Iowa, especially at Kanesville, ceased in the spring of 1852, when Apostle Orson Hyde departed, bag and baggage, with all the Saints whom he could by any means induce to accompany him. 90 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS THE MORMONS 91 A STREET SCENE IN COUNCIL BLUFFS. This is a picture of the Phoenix Block, north side of Broadway at the corner of what was originally Hyde, subsequently Madison, now North First Street. It was one among the first brick business buildings erected in the city. At the extreme right is seen the weatherboarded side of the old log store of CoRNELros Voorhis, a portion of the sign being shown. The ' ' prairie schooner ' ' is drawn by a typical Mormon team—three yoke of oxen and one of cows. In the foreground is a calf. The emigration authorities of the Church of Latter Day Saints required that each team should comprise not less than three yoke of cattle, one of which must be cows. The owner of the team here depicted more than fulfilled the terms prescribed. It will be observed that, in addition to the full team, he has an additional bovine of some description on the off-side of one of the pairs in the team. The drawing from which the cut here shown was produced is from a photograph now in the possession of Mrs. L. S. Hills, of Salt Lake City, Utah, whose husband (Lewis S. Hills) was the last democratic Register of the United States Land Office at Council Bluffs, and who emigrated to Salt Lake in 1861, where he died, July 21, 1915. POTTAWATTAMIE COUNTY. Much confusion and many conflicting statements regarding the or- ganization of Pottawattamie County, Iowa, are found in outstanding histories, reference to each and all of which in this work is not deemed necessary inasmuch as the purpose of its publication is to present facts pertaining almost exclusively to the immediate vicinity of the city of Council Bluffs. However, the organization of the county is intimately connected with the selection and history of its capital city, respecting which selection very little, if anything, has been heretofore published. In a "History of Pottawattamie County, Iowa, from the Earliest Historic Times to 1907", by Homer H. Field and Hon. Joseph R. Reed. I have found only two references to the organization of the county, viz. : "Although Pottawattamie County was not organized until as late as September, 1848, its real history begins at a much earlier date." (See page 1; Volume 1.) On page 10 of the same work, referring to a later date, it is said : "With the end of Mormon supremacy the people began to look about to see where they were. The county, which was much larger than now, was reduced to its present size, an election was held, and A. H. Perkins, David D. Yearsly and George Coulson were elected the first Commissioners. The first clerk was James Sloan, and its first County Judge was T. Burdick, elected in 1851." ' ' The Historical Record, a Monthly Periodical, Devoted Exclusively to Historical, Biographical, Chronological and Statistical Matters", is the title of a Salt Lake City, Utah, publication, edited and published by Andrew Jensen, of the Latter Day Saints Historian's Office. On page 899 of Volume 8 of that work is found the following : "At Kanesville the people were anxious to have a postoffice established and a county organization extended over the land on which they had settled. At some meetings held in January, 1848, a petition to the legislature of Iowa was numerously signed, and Andrew H. Perkins and Henry W. Miller were chosen delegates to carry and present said petition. They attended to this business and learned that the legislature had POTTAWATTAMIE COUNTY 93 made provision for the organization whenever the judge of the 4th judicial district of Iowa should decree that the 'public good requires such organization'. They waited upon Judge Carrolton at Iowa City, who informed them that he had appointed a Mr. Townsend to organize said County. ' ' On page 900 of the work last cited, reference is made to the county organization, as follows: ''In March (1848) a postoffice was established at Kanesville, and Brother Evan M. Greene received the appointment of postmaster. A county organization was also obtained, the county being called Pottawattamie. The officers were: Isaac Clark, judge of probate; George Coulson, Andrew H. Perkins and David D. Yearsley, county commissioners; Thomas Burdick, county clerk; John D. Parker, sheriff; James Sloan, dis- trict clerk ; Evan M. Greene, recorder and treasurer ; Jacob G. Bigler, William Snow, Levi Bracken and Jonathan C. Wright, magistrates. ' ' Each of the foregoing extracts speaks for itself. Those referring to efforts made to secure a county organization, as well as those which mention such organization as a fact accomplished in 1848, have refer- ence to a temporary organization of Pottawattamie County, pursuant to an act of the State Legislature approved February 24, 1847, which provided that: "The country embraced within the limits of what is called the Pottawattamie purchase, on the Missouri river, in this State, be, and the same may be, temporarily organized into a county, by the name of Pottawattamie, at any time when, in the opinion of the judge of the fourth judicial district, the public good may require such organization." (Laws of Iowa, 1st General Assembly of the State, Chapter Ixxxiv, page 115.) Thus the county was to embrace, and when organized did embrace, all of the territory ceded to the United States by the treaty of June 5, and 17, 1846, which had theretofore been occupied by the Potta- wattamie Indians. As said in the portion of this work relating to the Pottawattamies, the eastern part of the northern boundary of this territory was never delimitated. It was to extend from a point on the western boundary of the "lands of the Sac and Fox Indians" from which a west line "would strike the sources" of the Little Sioux river, which initial point was never exactly ascertained ; nor were the "sources" of the Little Sioux river ever determined in connection 94 EARLY DAYS AT COUNCIL BLUFFS with the treaty of 1833, at Chicago, by which the Pottawattamie boundary was prescribed. Assuming, however, that the "Second Correction Line'', established by the United States surveys in Iowa, approximates the "west line" prescribed by the treaty, which would, with the other lines mentioned, mark out an area of about five million acres, the quantity the Indians were to occupy, it will be seen that, beginning at the southwest corner of Iowa and proceeding eastward by tiers of counties, the Pottawattamie County authorized by the act of 1848 comprised territory within the present counties, viz. : "All of Fremont, Page, Taylor, and part of Ringgold; All of Mills, Montgomery, Adams, and part of Union ; All of Potta- wattamie, and parts of Cass and Adair ; All of Harrison, Shelby, Audubon, and part of Guthrie ; Part of Monona, All of Crawford, and part of Carroll ; Part of Woodbury, All of Ida, and part of Sac." The area of the county was reduced to its present size and form by the legislative act approved January 15, 1851. (Laws of Iowa, Regular Session, 3d General Assembly, Chapter ix, pages 27-28.) By an act of January 23, 1851 (Chapter xxvi. Laws of Iowa, 3d General Assembly, Regular Session, page 56), provision was made for the selection of a county seat for Pottawattamie County, the County Commissioners being directed to designate two places to be voted for as such, and order an election for the purpose. Notices of the places for holding the election were to be posted in each township in the county and published in the "Frontier Guardian". The following is a copy of the published notice : "NOTICE OF ELECTION. ' ' Notice is hereby given that on the first Monday, the 7th day, of April next, at the Warehouse of F. J. Wheeling, in the precinct of Council Bluffs, in the County of Pottawattamie, and at William H. Gooeh & Brother's Warehouse, on Hyde Street, in Kanesville, in the precinct of Kanesville, in said County, an election will be held to establish the Seat of Justice of said County ; that Kanesville is one of the places to be ballotted for, for said Seat of Justice, the other is at the residence of John D. Parker, at Pleasant Grove, about eight miles above Kanesville, on the south side of Big Mosquito, and about five miles from the Indian Mill. Also to be elected, or ballotted for, at said election: one District Judge for the 6th Judicial District of the State of Iowa; one School Fund Commissioner, for said POTTAWATTAMIE COUNTY 95 County; one Supervisor of Highways, for each of said precincts; and as many Justices of the Peace and Constables for each of said precincts as it lacks of two of each. "Which said election is to be opened at nine o'clock in the morning and continue open until six o'clock in the afternoon of the same day. T. BuRDiCK, Clerk of the Board of County Commissioners. "Kanesville, March 7, 1851. "N. B.—By a late Act of the Legislature, the County of Pottawattamie, as nearly as can now be determined, extends about thirteen miles north, eleven south, and twenty-eight east of Kanesville. Voters within these limits are entitled to vote for the county seat." (Frontier Guardian, March 7, 1851; page 2.) The result of the election thus provided for was reported in the Frontier Guardian of April 18, 1851 (page 2), as follows: "ELECTION "The first Monday of April, inst., was the most disagreeable and stormy day that we have ever witnessed in this country. It began to rain on Sunday night, and continued to rain in- cessantly until about 12 o'clock on Monday; then it snowed and froze severely; and, consequently, we had a very light vote to what would have been given if the day had been fine ; yet, unfavorable as the day was, quite a goodly number turned out at the election, the final result of which is officially given below.

Brown, 71 ; ' ' Fremont County : "For James Sloan, 7; for Christopher P. Brown, 91; for Burton, 2. "No returns from any other county. "E. M.

Spencer, 5. " In so far as the writer of this work is informed the information rela- tive to the county-seat election, and election of officers mentioned, has never been recorded in any of the numerous histories of Iowa, or of Pottawattamie County, heretofore published. A discrepancy respecting the temporary organization of the county under the act of 1848 appears between the statements made in the Field and Reed History and those of the ''Historical Record", above cited. The former places it in September and the latter in March, 1848. The office of the County Clerk of Pottawattamie County was destroyed by fire sometime in the "fifties", and practically all of its records went up in smoke. Inasmuch as the matter published in the "Historical Record" is based upon records kept at the time by officials of the Mormon Church, who were on the ground, it would appear that the information contained in it is the more reliable of the conflicting allegations. z w UBRARY OF CONGRESS Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
