Fisher Business Manager - - Roland McGee 'The Crimson and Blue June, 1939 : Published by the Senior Class of Abraham Lincoln High School Council Bluffs, Iowa .--- The schools are the bulwark of liberty and self government. The future of democracy and of the common school are inseparable. Let them go forward together. What the school is today, democ - racy will be tomorrow.-Joy Elmer Morgan. : : P age 4 .. F 0 R E w 0 R D It is our hope that this book will recall to all of us memories of four of the happiest years of our lives, for high school signifies unforgettable fun as well as learning. The friends we make and the happy experiences we have during our high school days will never be forgotten . Sometimes in later life persons regret that they cannot live over again the "carefree days of youth ." Through this book, many of us con live over again these joyous days spent at Abraham Lincoln. : : P age 5 .. If democracy is worth while, its tenets must not only be taught, but stressed, in order that the responsibility of the individual to the democratic way of life may be recognized.- Dr. George M. W iley. : : Page ix . . DEDICATION Without Democracy, our country would not be the free and progressive notion it is today. Without Democracy, we would not learn the true value of government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Without Democracy in education, there would not be the individual development and the feeling of personal achievement that now prevail. In a period of unsettled ideologies among notions of the world, we believe that Democracy is sti 11 the best form of government for us. We therefore dedicate our book and rededicate our lives to that great institution of freedom and fair livingDEMOCRACY. : : P age 7 .. ·CONTENTS I. Faculty . 9 11. Classes - l 5 111.

KIRN Principal Abraham Lincoln High School No just estimate can be made of Principal Kim's educational program that does not take into account his whole educational philosophy. Iii His program is spread upon a wide canvass; his philosophy of education is highly selective; his ideology is democratic. He senses the difference between a text book education and basic culture. Consequently, he strives for a program that releases the mind of the student to the future without any severance from the best of the past. The net result is an understanding of the pressent. 1J Principal Kirn is one of the most understanding high school educators in the Middle West. The imprint of his broad educational pattern is upon most of the graduates of the Abraham Lincoln High School. Their four years '7 in an atmosphere of democratic ideals, of high ethical standards, of the best in the fine arts, and of' character emphasis, in addition to thorough educa- 'tional instruction, send them forth well braced against the false and the superficial. JI J. A. TRUE Superintendent Council Bluffs Schools - A Citizen of Council Bluffs. The success of the school system depends largely on the attitude and ability of the head of the schools. Iii Superintendent True has guided the destiny of our school system through a trying time without injury to the standards established during good times. His attitude in the employment of n ly the best instructors and a careful program of instruction has co-ordina ed the work jn the schools of the district. Through the several years he has been with us, he has tirelessly endeavored to improve our schools, both as to curriculum and the physical condition of the plant. -A Former Member of the Boord of Education. : : Page 10 : : DAISY B.

Almost every teacher hos extra -curricu lar duties in addi - tion to his regular classes. lT The school's courses ore College Preparatory, Comme rciol, and Ge neral. 1T A fine improvement in the physical equipment of t he school would be the erection of a building for f-ine and ind u~ ria l arts to furthe r the guidance program of the school and to relieve present crowded conditions. The enrollment now is approximately 1383. f J Front r ow : F ish er , Miss Hanigan. Second row: Ma this, McGee , Pay ne, Stephens, Mr. Johnson. JI Senior Class of 1939 OFFICERS Preside nt Vice -President Secretary Trea surer Sergeant-at-Arms Dick Payne Roland McGee Helen Fisher Jack Stephens Glen Mathis Sponsors: Miss Hanigan, Mr. Johnson "Where do we go from here?" is the question of the day. Some of us are gathering up our courage, and our typing and shorthand credentials, with an eye on the business world. Others are flipping the pages of college bulletins, frantically searching for a school to suit their needs and desires. Then, of course, there are a few of us exploring the pages of home planning mag - azines, as well as gazing speculatively into furniture store windows. Meanwhil e the business world, colleges, and society are giving us, the 1939 crop of grad- . uates, the "once-over." We realize that a great deal depends upon us in the future development of the world of which we are to become a part. A country founded upon democratic principles, such as oy rs, finds its security in the development of the yo!J!h of today m d the opportunities offered to them as the basis of its future national life . And so we, the "embryo citizens" of tomorrow, willingly accept the challenge that a world of confused conditions opens to us. : : P age 16 : : ROBERT ADKINS- Commercial- Freshman Volleyba ll , Footba ll .

CITY AUDITORIUM-Where commencement exercises are held . Commencement For the seniors, June is the finale to four years of high school, dubiously yet hopefully anticipated. The night of June 9 arrives. Anxious parents tremble as nervously as the graduates- to-be. At last th~ procession marches down the aisle of the audrtorium, singing with full voices, "Once more, dear home-." Girls in white formals seem to float toward the stage, carrying bouque ts of red roses. Then come the boys in dark suits, seeming to rise to manhood in a night. The picture is perfect. An hour or so, and-it's all over. All over except indelible memdries. : : Page 34 : : Miss Broadfoot, Gretze r, Crowl, Holmes, Hunte r, Mr. Lee.

One more quarter to go and our game is over! At the half we were just beginning to understand what the score was, and now we ore de finitely on the right track. Our goal? A happy, successful senior year! Our junior year, as we look it over, hos been one of accomplishment and joy. We hove been well represented in every event. The leads in the annual operetta were _ably carried by juniors. Our junior ploy, " Mystery at Greenfingers," was a rousing success. The musical activities for the year hove been represented largely by juniors. Two of us won first places in the declamatory contest this year. The success of our bosketbol I season was encouraged along by the prowess of certain juniors. We could go on supplying proofs of our abilities. However we're not by any means the "big-shots" yet. We're just beginning I Circumstances too hove been right slick for us this year. We hove enjoyed many fine assemblies, thanks to Principal Kirn . The ploys couldn't have been more enj oyabl e, and the military boll was a thrill! Only, when we are "presidents" , we'll hove more tea dances! In all this fun of our junior year, we've mode new and deepe r friendships, preparing for a happy senior year. We hove lightly and gail y soiled through this yea r, but now we must prepa re to shoulder the responsibi I ities handed down to us. We ore now seniors! : : Page 35 : : Juniors Front row: D.;;n Bee z ley, Adrian Bra wn, Do ra thy Cain, Elinor Bamfo rd, Elo ise Bobb itt, Be ve rly And e rson, Billie Ann Caywood, Ke nne th Arch, Mi ld re d Be n n e tt, Ca the rine A d ams, He len Bahr, Oda A d e rs, Sa rah Adkins.

Now we are. beginning to learn what is expected of us. Just watch for the notable accomplishments we will make in the next three years. Page 42 .. OUR ALMA MATER-PAST AND PRESENT When the wave of progress in education swept westward and reached Counci I Bluffs in 1 868, when our forefathers heard of high schools being established in 60 other cities, they decided that the school system should immediately be brought "up-to-date"; so they added the high school deportment to the already existant primary, intermediate, and grammar departments. The second story of the old building on Pierce Street was where the first high school classes met in September, 1868. The first superintendent, Mr. Allen Armstrong, and one assistant taught the 34 boys and 28 girls who were enrolled. (Average attendance was but 42 - tut, tut, we do better now!) This number dwindled down to the four that were the first graduates of C.B.- H.S. in 1871. The second graduating class had yet more graduates-the total number of 6! And all girls, at that! At that time, the students tried to avoid studying writing, arithmetic, algebra, grammar, geometry, and Latin. But the inconvenience of this location made the board of education arrange for the erection of a new school bui I ding at the top of what is now High School avenue. The Nonpareil described it as a "magnificient building"-and it had a capacity of 300. The building's altitude caused .quite a predicament. It is said that many students were forced to quit-too much high climbing . Five courses of study were now offered : Classical, Latin Scientific, German Scientific, English, and Business. Foundation of a manual training department was being started. The business department now boasted of eight first-class typewriting machines. The chemical laboratory was located in the basement which was dingy and dungeon -like. Although it may have resembled the abodes of the ancient alchemists, the students found the odoriferous chemicals and infrequent whiffs of fresh air not exactly pleasant. But as the enrollment grew and grew, and more adequate means and more thorough equipment were needed to carry out its functions, a new high school was again called for. Over a sunflower patch, the present high school was constructed in 1900; the capacity was 600. In 1913, it was enlarged to its present size. And all the time Council Bluffs grew and grew. The time came when another high school was necessary in the west end of the city. At this time, in 1920, when Thomas Jefferson High School was completed, the Council Bluffs High School took the name of Abraham Lincoln. Improvements seemed to run in a 13-year cycle . Abraham Lincoln High School, having covered the sunflowers in 1900, and having been enlarged in 1913, Principal l(i rn decided that a gymnasium was necessary in 1926, and so it was built. And now in 1939, we are considering the construction of a building behind the school which would be devoted to the mechanical and household arts. In 1936 Kirn field was leveled off for athletics a~d track meets and football games are ~ow held over the site of the old high school. It was named for our principal, G. W . Kirn, upon petitions of the faculty and students, because of his efforts in promoting it. And now to describe the AL. of the present. In the future we shall probably look back and say "how queer,"-but it is all very natural to us now. The courses again have changed radicall y: College Preparatory, Commercial, and General, offering Liberal Arts, Household Arts, Engineering, Secretarial, Accounting, and Retail Selling courses. The school prides itself now on its success in various fields of activity : journalism, music, speech, drama, athletics, and many clubs and societies give the students an opportunity for an enriched and vari ed experience. Ou r overcrowded trophy cases attest to victories in many fields. : : Page 43 : : LIF~ IN THE CLASSROOM-1. A dab of lipstick here, a dash of rouge there. 2 ..

The society is international in character, having more than nineteen hundred chapters distributed throughout the United States, Canada, Alaska, Hawaii, New Zealand, England, and China . Since its organization, April 10, 1926, by a group of high school supervisors for the purpose of awarding outstanding achievement in journalistic e ndeavor, Qui ll and Scroll has played an important role in ra ising the standard of high school journalism. Candidates for membe rship must be at least juniors in high school, must be in the upper third of their c lass, and must have done outstanding work in some phase of journal ism. Our chapter, known as the "Ding" Darli ng Chapter, is named for the well-known cartoonist of the Des Moines Register staff. Sponsors: Miss Baptist and M r. Lee : : Page 48 . .

The band, prominent in this event, has a fine record. Entered in the Regional Music contest held in Omaha last spring, it rated highly superior. To the activities of civic organizations the band is a generous contributor. When monuments or buildings are to be dedicated and a snappy march is required to add to the ge ne ral effect, the band is elected to do it. Horace Barton, Orville Rasmussen J eanne Mase r, Homer Miller George Molony, Ray Pogge Mr. Seidl, Mr. Nowak When school spirit needs reviving at a football game, due to chilly weather or a slump in the scoring, the band effects the necessary stimulation by means of a stirring rendition . Later in the school year, when the sports' spotlight focuses on a new activity, a track meet or basketbal I game, the band is called upon to "turn the trick" witl1 a peppy march. Light, danceful music lends color to the May Fete . Because of the band's many fine offerings throughout the year, the school has returned a decision of "highly superior" for it, too, along with the contest judges. . . Page 54 : : ,, Orchestra One of the most representative groups of the school is the high school orchestra. Numbered among the many activities it has participated in are the vesper concerts, the literary society plays, and the operetta. It also supports the seniors as they march "the last mile" to the strains of the "Pilgrims' Chorus." For the orchestra's first performance of the year, it played for the Southwestern Iowa Teachers' Convention. Early this spring the orchestra was selected as the best in this section of the country to play over the radio on a national hookup. Playing the opening and closing numbers on the thirty-minute program under the auspices of the National Music Educators' Conference, the orchestra received many messages of congratulations after the broadcast for its outstanding work. It, along with t he band, rated h ighly superior in the Reg ional Music contest held in Omaha. The fine symphonic effect deve loped by the orchestra is the result of many hours of pract ice by each individual member of the organization. This brilliant performance has more than satisfied the demand made on it throughout the year. In addition to the orchestra as a whole, many students entered the contests individually at Oakland and Harlan this year, wi nning many honor ratings.

As usual, the debate season was enthusiastically begun by the literary society tryouts and announcement of the society squads on September 30. A sophomore, Gerry Ross, came off with top honors in the afte r-dinner speaking contest held at the annual debate banquet . • When the Eros defeated the Philos in the debate finals on November 22, the inter-society tournament officially ended and varsity debating came to the fore with the announcement of the squad for the 1938-39 season. Early in January, the varsity girls came through in second place in the girls' division of the Missouri Valley League debates, while the varsity squad tied for first place at the southwestern Iowa division of the Iowa High School Forensic League held in Abraham Lincoln on February 17 and 18. The month of March ended the debate season for t his year with participation in the McCahill tournament and state finals. Again the school was represented in the extemporaneous speaking division of the Iowa High School Forensic League at Iowa City by Dick Payne, who won the school contest and second in the district. With the stirring original oration, "Lest We Forget," Faye Graves received first place in this district and was the representative of Abraham Lincoln and southwestern Iowa in the State contest. On the night of January 19, the auditorium was the scene of the 25th annual declama - tory contest, in which the winners were awarded medals by the City National Bank. Head ing the oratory division was George Pogge with a speech entitled "Ropes." Other speakers were Jean Jacobsen, Don - ald Gossard, and Donald Jones. Royalyn Hildebrand's deliverance of "The Fool" ac - co rded her the decision in the dramatic division, with Faye G.-aves, Robert Keahey, and Joan Stageman a o participating. Marian Van Druff merited the humorous section award through her interpretation of "Just One Big Happy Family." Barbara Hughes, Joan Haisten, and Doris Haii ton offered the competition. : : Page 60 : : (Reading le ft ta right) : l . '·'Now this book states that if Eng land were to-" 2 .

Conside red the most outsta nding event of the Alpha Literary Societ¥ for t he past yea r was the ploy "Howdy Stronge r" which was presented with the coopera tion of the Logo Litera ry Soc ie ty ond under the di rection of Miss Ruth Tomisiea . This play surpassed many records established in former yed rs. First, it is the only western play ever produced here, and second, it used the largest cast of any play presented in our schoo l befo re . The "wild west" idea was c leverly carried out in costumes worn by the Alphas several doys previous to the presentation and in unique poste rs and programs furnished by the drafting departme nt. . . Page 68 .. Aristotelian Literary Society Throughout the years of society work in va rious school activities, debating has played a vi tal part in th e development of the members of the Aristo Literary Society. Since its founding as one of the first li terary groups for boys, the Aristo debate squads ha ve been inte r-society champs three times and runners-up once. Besides the element of competition, much benefit is derived from audience contact, sportsma nship in the fa ce of defeat, and the wealth of material which must be perused before the facts in a debate are presented. Whethe r they win o r lose, the Aristos believe that the survival value of debate is of greatest importance.

The Abraham Lincoln gridders played a nine -game schedule, winning three and losing six contests. Missouri Valley invaded the Lynx camp on the night of September 23 far the opening ti It of the season, but were sent home on the short end of a 6 -0 score. Jack Bigley counted the A. L. touchdown on a pass from Albert Gallo. The Lynx continued from where they left off the preceding week and emerged with an encouraging 7 -6 victory over the · highly touted Maroons from Omaha Tech. LaVerne Jenks tallied all seven points on a pass and a conversion plunge. Abraham Lincoln's hopes far a successful season experienced a severe jolt when Jack Bigley, outstanding Lynx end, suffered a fractured ankle in the third period of this game. Sioux City Central's powerfu l eleven put a stop to the Hilltoppers winn ing ways by casting a dark 20-0 shadow on the ir previously unblemished record. Taking to the road, the gridders found the going a bit tougher than on the home field and took a 40-0 trouncing from the Block Rai ders of East Sioux City. Returning to Kirn Field the next week, the Lynx succumbed to a second half Shenandoah rally a nd fell 13-6. Clark Barritt plunged over far the Lynx lone score. Tackling the ir second inter-c ity foe of the season, the Hil ltoppers bumped up aga inst a stubborn outfit from Omaha Central a nd dropped on exciting thrill-pocked encounter 13-1 2 . Cliff Herd snagged two of Gallo's passes far a pair of touchdowns, but a single extra point made the d ifference . On Armistice Day, the Lynx outplayed a classy Logan aggregation in every phase of the game except the scoring end, and the Panthers wa lked off with a 12-0 win. The Lynx hit the win column again, however, the fallowing week, slipping past a highly improved Iowa School far the Deaf, 6-0, on a second ha lf plunge by Clark Barritt. Closing the season on Thanksgiving Day, the Lynx and t he Yellowjacke ts of Thomas Jefferson battled on even terms the entire first half. A blocked Lynx kick early in the third period on the ir own ten yard line gave the Jeffs their initia l scoring opportunty wh ich they made along with two other scores. Cliff Herd scored on a pass and LoVerne Jenks conve rted to g ive t he Lynx the ir only tallies in the final 19-7 setback. F ront r ow: H euen n a nn, J e nks, Miller , Ros , B. Capel, Barritt.

Second Team Football Presenting a more favorable record than their superiors, the varsity, Cooch Richard Cochran's second team footballers won six and lost four ti Its. The Reserves succeded in downing Benson, North, Central, Creighton Prep ., and Glenwood, while losing to South, Tech, Tee Joy, and Logan . Although slow in getting started the Seconds come through with flying colors to down their lost four opponents on the schedule. These boys will be elevated to bolster the voristy eleven next sea son . Freshman Football Cooch Fee Chew's Baby Lynx failed to register in the win column lost fall, but they were well represented in the lost column with six defeats. The Frosh dropped two games each to Bloomer, Tee Joy, and l.S.D. Although losing all six encou r.ite rs, the Fre shmon should prove worthy material in the future with a little more training. The Baby Lynx poor showing con prob ably be credited to the injury jinx, which quite persistently followed the squad throughout the whole se ason . : : P'4':e 88 : : BASKETBALL RESUME 1938-39 Abraham Lincoln's basketballers opened the season with promise and appeared to be one of the outstanding quintets of the state, but a mid-year slump, partially due to the loss of three mid-season lettermen, including Gallo, Rine hart, and Jessen, ended these prospects. The Lynxmen were credited with wins over the Iowa State Champions from Creston, Iowa, and two victories over Thomas Jefferson, west end rivals, one being the Sectional Tourney finals. After moving along smoothly through the Sectional Meet and their first round game with Glenwood in the District, the Lynx were stunned abruptly by Lenox in the semi-finals 45-44. In city and inter-city play the Lynx fared very well, winning two games from St. Francis and taking two out of three from Tee Jay. In inter-city league play, Lawson's forces ended in second place with four wins and two losses. Grover Hansen, stellar Lynx guard, won a guard position on the mythical all southwest Iowa selections and also on the second all inter-city five . Cliff Herd, forward, made third team forward on the southwest selections. A L. 20 A L. 35 A L. 20 A L. 31 A L. 35 A ..

The Reserves were taken out of the running in the County Tournamen by Treynor in the semi-finals after downing Carson in the opening round . The Seconds carried a large squad of some thirty odd players throughout the entire season. This squad of promising underclassmen will help greatly to form next Year's varsity five . Freshman Basketball Working with new, inexperienced players, freshmen tutor, Harold Stout, found the going tough at times but the yearlings managed to win their shore of games. Although slow in getting organized, the frosh began clicking toward the end of the regular season and they entered the Southwest Iowa Tournament with a presentable five . Their improvement was clearly displayed in their first tourney game as they downed Hastings, 21 -20, but were defeated by Thomas Jefferson in the second round . Fron t row: Reggio. Haughn, Pullen.

Those competing in the state were: Don Beez ley, 85 pound district champion, Grant Hunter, 95 pounde r, Frank Dinovo, 145, and Earl Ree lfs, 155.

Golf Although only a minor sport in the athletic curriculum, golf has grown rapidly in popularity during the last few yea rs on the hilltop. Coach Harold Stout's golfers enjoyed a comparatively successful season last year and should come through with an even better record this spring with a large squad of hopefu ls to pick from . Competition is becoming stronger each year because of the increasing number of turnouts each Ye ar. Unlike other sports, teamwork is not as important as individual ability. And yet a gain, every shot counts for the team. : : Page 03 : : I I ~l /F Herfll Front row (on t rack): Howe, Knig h t , B. Cap e l, Kauffm a n . Second r ow (on track): Coach Che w, D .

The Abraham Lincoln unit ends a year of useful and unfailing activity. The military ball and the ,, federal inspection linger in the mind of the student body as two of the outstanding events of the year. If one is familiar with our work, be realizes the everlasting strug - gle to gain the ultimate goal of the R.O.T.C. Drill began early in September with an enrollment of about 525, the largest in the history of the R.O.T.C. at Abraham Lincoln. Companies were organized and senior "hopefuls" took tests which covered much of the theoretical and practical work that is stressed in this military organization. Those cadets who came through were promoted to the rank of second lieutenant. In our first parade, although not yet organized completely, the regiment showed the earmarks of being a crack unit. Hope for an honor award in the annual federal inspection ran high among the cadets. To help make this hope a reality the Cadet Officers' Club was reorganized. This club, although compara t ively new, is becoming the strong voice o the policies of the R.O.T.C. During the winter we applied most of our efforts toward the theoretical branch of mil - itary science. In this period of physical in - activity it seemed hard to keep up the interest but we all realized the value of this work 'in the approaching inspection. More tests were given to cadets wishing to become officers or non-commissioned officers. Each boy began to look with longing eyes toward the coveted rank of colonel, and each dug deeper into the sources of military knowledge. Enthusiasm grew steadily as spring drew nearer and we all began to look forward to the day when we could again resume close-order drill. The day of March 25 was announced as the date for our annual Military Ball. Rumors concerning the identity of the new commanding officers floated about our ears, and suspense ran high. Finally the day arrived. The Military Ball of 1939 will long be remembered as one of the gayest and most colorful balls ever presented at our high school. The officers and their ladies were presented, while an audience of military notables, teachers, students, and parents looked on with deep interest. The Military Ball was a splendid display of m ilitary life at Abraham Lincoln . After the excitement of the Military Ball, we concentrated our efforts upon gaining that honor rating at the inspection which was drawing very close. Companies were assigned to their respective duties for the inspection and we practiced regime ntal re - : : Pag·e 102 : : view many times so that the parade would be perfect. The day of May l 8 was named as the day for the federal inspection, and it came as quickly as March 25 had come. The AL. Regiment turned out in full strength with brass and rifles gleaming to participate in the most important parade or the year.

The early cadets had no attractive uniforms-just drab gray, Civi l War replicas. Target practice and sham battles f med the main routine . Beginning in 18 2 from "scratch," the organization ho5 progressed steadily to become the largest activity of the school. Prompted by the Spanish-American War, fifty members and ex-members of the corps e nlisted among the volunteers and went to the Philippine Islands in 1898. Later, several Abraham Lincoln battalions and one from Thomas Jefferson battled an unseen foe at Dodge Park, drove the enemy out, and seized the bridge. Other like scrimmages and spring maneuvers were carried on in Fairmount Park, using the hills as fortification. So thinking back, would you prefer to hove been one of those first cadets, or one of today's thoroughly routined and trained regimenta l offi ce rs or cadets? : : P age 104 : : R.O.T.C.-COMPANY C Front row : Swanson, Peters e n , Wilcox, Jones, G.

The Crack Squad What does that red and blue shoulder cord mean::> This question concerning the insignia of the regimental crdck squad is asked over and over. When a boy wears this decoration, he is known as a member of the R.O.T.C. drill squad which ranks highest in military precision and close-order drill . The cadets all strive to bring this honor to their own squad. Every Thursday evening after school one may see the various competing squads in the drill lot. Every company is representecl by its best unit of eight men. At the indicated time, each corporal marches his squad about the drill ground, executing the various movements. The best group chosen is the crack squad. The "crack squad" competition has done much to keep up the interest in the military organization and to arouse a feeling of competition which is invaluable in maintaining the mora le of "our boys." : : Pake 105 : : R.O.T.C.-COMPANY E Front row : Brown, B.

Competition for places on the team was stiff, because of the large number of "hopefuls." Each R.O.T.C. cadet was allowed to try out by firing on the range . Finally chosen, the group consisted of about twenty of the better ri fl emen. The team took part in several inter-scholast ic matches, as well as the Seventh Corps Area competition. A lthough they were not always the victors, the boys kept up their spirit and tried hard throughout the target season . Several in the rifle group will be lost through graduation, but the bulk of the team will be back next year. . .

GIRLS' BRAINSTORM IN PHYSICS This tal k of curent in a bore Is often very boring; And study of induction coi Is Has never raised my scoring . These volts and amperes get my goat, Magnetos don't attract me ; The E. M . F. 's in si xty coils Affects mY mind abstractly. Al I generators make me sick, Oh, why were they invented ? A curre nt does a lot of work, But lea ves my skull undented. An armature gives me a pain, And commutators turning Don't make impressions on my brain, And don't increase my learning . These physics terms have pestered me Since back at the beginning, And when I ponder ove r them, They set my poor head spinning . I study hard both day and night, And try to ga in some knowledge ; But if I stay as dumb as th is, I' II never get to college . - Virginia Ann Nelson.

These directors also stage musical , sport, art, collegiate and commercial productions. Industria l and military "scenarios" are a part of the schedule. A we ll -arranged program is outlined by each directo r at the beginning of the season . Together they work overtime to develop new personalities by means of rganizoti~ns among aspiring · actors. A fine addition to the studio sets would be a new building across the street in which industrial and fine art scenarios cou ld be worked out and produced. Each dir<e<:tor holds a counsel with the chief production manager of the Abraham Lincoln Studio. At this time the producer and the directo rs endeavor to develop the methods used in the "stages." Each director is personally interested, a s well as the parents, in bringing out the best possible in the acto rs. When any one acto r shows promise in a definite fie ld, this ta lent is developed and corrected to the acto r's best ability.' This is the field of direction and directors. Theirs is a responsible position . The future of many young c itizens is greatly dependent upon each and e very director to whom he may be assigned. • • • OFFICERS President J ohn Zimmer~an Vice President Don Beezley Secretary Grant Hunter Treasurer Dick Gray Sergean!-at-A rms Jac k Schlemmer Across the ink-blue of the night sky flash spotlights to announce that the premiere has begun. The City Auditorium is the scene of this, the greatest event in the making of the movie . The long rehearsals and expert directing have produced a four-bell performance never to be forgotten . Seated motionless waiting for the premiere to begin is the first night audience. Fathers mothers sis- ,,. ' ' ters and brothers in pright-eyed expectancy are here to see e debut of their own stars. In the audience also are the directors, tired but highly pleased at the results of their coaching. ,/ t The orchestra begins to play and down the S ponsors: Miss Broadfoot, Mr. Steinbaugh aisles march the stars : girls in sheer white formals with huge arm bouquets of red roses, and boys in dark suits-all approaching the finale of their first big movie. Young voices blend together in the singing of the theme song, "Once More Dear Home ." Seated on t he stage, they listen to speeches giving them thei r last directions before they begin on their next film, whether it be college o r work. As a closing scene, the stars receive their awards for distinguished performance and the premiere is over. Fade Out S itting: Don Beezl ey, Miss Broadfoot, J ohn Zimn1 e rman, Grant Hunte r.

L. senior, was chosen out of candidates from the entire state of Iowa as the D. A. R. representative for the spring pilgrimage to Washington, D. C. This contest was the result of the annual contest sponsored by the Daughters of the American Revolution . Selection was based upon service to home, community, school, and church, and upon leadership, patriotism, and dependability. First, Marjorie was voted the senior girl most outstanding in these qua I ities by the student body of A. L. After being chosen again by a committee of faculty members, she won the county and state competitions successively. In April she traveled to the nation's capital to enjoy a four-day tour with 48 candidates from other states. An orchid to Marjorie' : : 36 .. Featured Players We're majoring in scene stealing! Through our careful selection of parts, we will slowly edge out the other experienced players and become the STARS of l 9 4 l . When the present so-called STARS aren't looking, we see to it that our acting surpasses theirs and step into the limelight. So you see we FEATURED PLAYERS are reall y ambitious! OFFICERS President Vice President S ecretary T reas11 rer S ergean I-at-A r111 s He rbert J ord o l . Gl e n Ande rson Kore n Ma d sen Cec ile Bardsley Winfred Phillips S ponsors: Miss Fl ore nce Lo ndon, Mr. Roy Lawson After the learning of lines and with some coaching by the Technical Advisers, these FEATURED PLAYERS have all the promise of up -and-coming young STARS with the talent and ability to succeed in the parts cast for them by the fade -out of the present STARS. Each and every player rehearses his Ii nes so that he may be spotted by a scout and be placed in the movie "Suc - cess," even though he gets a small part. Even the player who is cast in a mediocre " B" picture does his best in order that he may have a chance for recogniti on . Leadership, personality, and reliability are the qualities sought for in the selection of those who receive verbal "Loving Cups." The Charlie McCarthies (wooden heads ) of this group disappear before long, and a fter a few small parts, cultivate the ability to act as understudies to the STARS. Seat ed : :-; ~ La ndon .

Quill and ScrfJll j Recognition . Fame. Honor. All these come to a very few "Quill and Scrollers." Such recognition was obtained through their outstanding work in the publicity department with clever write-ups and good adve rtisements. The renown of this organization is not onl y local, but internationa l. Membership in such an organization offers inspira - ti on t o the actors who find life's drama more interesting when it is written down on paper. Inst ead of continuing as " ham writers," they become Somebody in the journalistic world. Under the title of the "Ding" Darling Chapte r in A L ., they c reate an organization made up of actors most likel y to succeed in journa lism, with ed itors heading the list. Not only character, but integrity and originality in thought are the traits of our young "Pulitzers." They co-operate with their advisers in making the i r publications four-star productions.

L. stage in January. "Trial by Jury," a one-act operetta by Gilbert and Sullivan, was presented by the mixed chorus, with leads double-cast. Typical of British humor was the musical farce, mocking the procedure of an English courtroom of the nineteenth century. Members of the chorus were transformed into ladies and gentlemen of the 1870's by their costumes and beards. Edwin was being sued for breach of promise by Angelina, but ofter the eloquent pleading of the Counsel for the Plaintiff; the jolly story of his majesty the Judge; and demands for "Order in the court" by the Usher; the case was solved happily for all. "PEASANT CANT AT A" Eager to do something entirely new and different from previous operettas, the senior girls' glee club staged Bach 's "Peasant Cantata," a colorful picture of carefree village life. The theme of the cantata is woven about the rejoicing of the villagers and their congratulations to the new lord of the manor and his wife, who have just come to the village . Many gpy folk melodies are introduced and most of the numbers are based on merry country dance tunes. The senior girls' glee members, garbed in gay peasant costumes, combined beautiful music, romance, laughter, and gaiety into a delightful half-hour of entertainment. : : 50 ..

Like most large studios, we have a reserve from which new talent is drawn. The junior glee club is this source of ambitious singing stars. They too have a chance for public performance at the concerts.

Sound E f fee ts The question, "Resolved: That the Federal Government Should Own and Operate the Roi I roods," was the cause of the worried looks on the faces of the debaters during the season l 939-40. The various literary society debaters kept the libraries humming at the beginning of the season with their persistent demands for mate rial. The climax of the intersociety debate tournament came when the Eros and the lonions met in the finals for the winning title . The Eros emerged victorious for the second straight year. On this occasion the intersociety debate season come to on end officially, and varsity debating become important with the announcement of the squad. During the middle of December, Abraham Lincoln entered the Girls' Division of the Missouri Volley League Tournament, but was eliminated in the sem i-fina l round. In January, both boys and girls on the debate team e ntered the Open Division of the Missouri Volley League Tournament and were eliminated during the quarter-final round . Ending the debate season was the state tournament at Iowa City in Morch. Abraham Lincoln tied with Thomas Jefferson for first place in the Southwest District Tournament, which made it e ligi ble for the state tournament. Our representative at the State Extemporaneous Speaking Contest was Margery Bock, who placed first in the schoo l and third in the district. Jack Peregoy repre - sented the schoo l in the o riginal oratory contest in the district. The twenty-sixth annual Declamatory contest was he ld in the auditorium on January 11, with medals awarded winners by the City Notional Bank. Royalyn Hildeb rand wa lked off with top honors in the oratorical division with her oration, "Late for a Dote ." Other speakers were Willis Abels, Mory Louise Dick and Di k Moots. T ears and sighs accompanied "Bobby Shafter," prize winning declom by Marcia Wi I cox. Speake rs who offered the competition in the dramatic division were Mary Rose Everest, Ann Verdin, and Bob l<eohey. Amid chuckles Betty Evans was a warded first place for her humorous selection, "Aunt Effi e Goes Horseback Riding."

Back in the age of football when manslaughter was a five-yard penalty and the rules were that you could do anything the referee didn't see, there come to Abraham Lincoln high school a young man by the name of Towsly. He was a graduate of on eastern college. He interested several youths in the game of football. The young men learned the game, but there were no opponents to ploy. To remedy this fault two teams were organized (of which there were just enough men for the full two t eams) . One team was cal led the "Gentours" and the other was named the "Hercules. " The unifo rms of the playe rs we re very good fo r their mode of ploy. The pants looked like two overstuffed studio couches. The shirts were like old-fashioned hunting jackets with bootlaces to hold them tight on the players. Members of the team of 1893 (which was the first formed in Council Bluffs) included men who ore prominent today. Membe rs of the two teams are : 1 5, Clint Spooner, Captain; 7, Mat Tinl ey; 10, William Arnd; 20, Tip Thornton; 1, Turk Ma rshall; 2, Fordie Childs; 3, Ralph Mueller; 4, Ozo Blanchard; 5, Bern Sawyer; 6, Ed Say les; 7, Theron Josselyn; 8, Clarence Cape ll ; 2 1, Vernie Witter; l l, Fronk Capell; 12, Hori Sawye r; 13, Poul Flommont; 14, Rob Ba ldwin; 16, Oscar Dye r; 1 7, Ed Rosen b urg ; 18, Tom Askin ; and 19, Horry M oorehouse. :: "'I :: • • Pepper-uppers!

Pigskin Parade Although foiling to chalk up a spectacular record in the win column, the 1939 football season will long be remembered for a good all -around team hitting a new high in spirit and sportsmanship. According to Coach Roy Lawson, he hod the best boys he hod ever wo rked with . The Lynx were te rmed as an on-and -off team, winning three games, losing seven, and tieing one . The Lyn x opened their season at Missouri Volley by overpowering a stubborn Big Red e leven, 14 to 6 . Bob Copel's posses to brother Tom paved the way for both Abraham Lincoln tallies, while Fred Ross completed the job. At Omaha the Hi II toppe rs lost a heartbrea ke r the fo ll owing wee k to th e Maroons of Omaha Tec h by the count of 6-0. Both e levens fought furiousl y for three pe riods without qualifying on the scoreboard. In the closing minutes, as the Crimson and Blue we re ki c king out of dange r, Horry Rutledge, Maroon substitute, galloped 25 yards for the winning sco re. Still thinking about the previous wee k's loss, Abraham Linco ln took it out on Harlan, 20 to 0, in the first home game. The visitors were unabl e to cope with the smooth Lynx running attac k and Cooch Lawso n's strong forward wall. Bob Copel led the attack with two touchdowns. Toking to the rood, Abe Lincoln was outclassed by a powe rful Sio ux City Centra l el even, 26 -0. The gridders we re up aga inst one of the toughest teams in the Missouri Voll ey Confe rence.

As a result of two successive blocked punts, Tee Joy was able to tie the score. It was a bitter struggle between the two fine forward walls of both elevens. Omaha Centrol's powerful aggregation downed the Lynx 25-12 on the hilltop the following week. The Purple Eagles accounted for their points on power drives and long posses. Tom Copel scored both the A. L. touchdowns, one as a result of a startling 65-yord run . The Bluffsmen journeyed to Shenandoah where they dropped another heortbreoker, 6-0. The Mustangs, capitalizing on Lyn x blunders, scored their points in the opening period. In the closing minutes, Tom Capel fell l 0 yards short of a touchdown after a 60- yard jaunt. This was the first of three go mes to be played within ten days. Adolf Herzog and the scrappy little Iowa School for the Deaf Bobcats pulled the upset of the season by defeating the Railsplitters 7 -6 . A sustained drive down field scored for the Lynx in the opening period, but they failed to convert the e xtra point. Adolf Herzog galloped 56 yards for the I. S.

In the season's grid finale, which had aroused much discussion, the Crimson and Blue gridders again face d Thomas J effe rson. A c rowd of 4, 500 chi lled fans turned out at the west end f ield to see Abraham Lincoln drop a 6-0 decision. It was another nip-and-tuck battle with the lines taking the spotlight.

L.'s second team footballers seemed to fo ll ow the li nes of their superiors, the Varsity, in thei r season's ploying. Working under a new mentor, Theron Stuelke, the Seconds established themselves as a formidabl e e leven by outplaying most of thei r opponents. The ir season consisted of two wins, two ties, and four losses. The Lynx downed Gle nwood and South. Gomes with Central and No rth resulted in deadloc ks. Coach Stuelke's lads lost to Thomas Jefferson, Tech, Benson, and Creighton Prep. None of these contests were lost by more than a marg in of two touchdowns. Football Starlets FRESHMAN FOOTBALL Presenting one of the most favo rable records of any of the other athletic aggregations was the freshman footbol I eleven. The Baby Lynx, under the eye of Cooch Fee Chew, were undefeated all season-something that hasn't happened in years. The Frosh won the Intro -cit)'.'. championsh ip by defeating Thomas Jefferson, I. S. D. and Bloomer. The on ly mar on a perfect record was a tie with Tee J oy in the second contest.

The Five Wh() Came Back Acclaimed as one of the weakest cage teams at Abraham Lincoln for some years as a result of seven straight losses, the Lynx bosketbollers proved themselves otherwise at the close of the season with decisive victories over Creston, previous season's State Chomps, and Creighton Prep, 1940 Nebraska State Champions. Labeled as the surprise team of the intercity league, the iron man quintet offered many exciting moments for all lovers of clean sports, friend and foe, alike. The hapless Lyn x climaxed their season by snapping Creston's 34-game winning streak after losing their first seven games. Unlike other years, A. L. lost both their games with Tee Jay; the lost contest being on upset, but these defeats were overshadowed when the inspired Lincolns defeated high favored Creighton Prep, twice victors over Thomas Jefferson. The Hilltoppers retained their Sectional Crown which was held at Underwood by defeating Griswold, Avoca and Underwood, but were eliminated in the first round of the District Meet by Creston in a revenge fracas. Cooch Roy Lawson lost two of his Iron Men, John Zimmerman and Word Show, because of graduation. Glen Anderson placed on the All-Southwest basketball team and will return next season to bolster Lawson's hope for a championship team. THE SCHEDULE A. L. 17 .. ............ .. .......... .... ..

Lynx grapplers ended the year with eleven wins and only one defeat, to complete the most successful season in the history of the sport in th is school. With five champions and one second and third place winners, Coach Fee Chew's wrestlers won their first District Tourna - ment. The Lynxmen captured the runnerup post in a close inter-c ity league race . Having one wrestler come through at the State Tourney, the Lynx concluded their outstanding year with their first State Champion . In the regular schedule the Hi I I toppers were decisioned only by Omaha Central, lnt? rcity Champs, 22-14, in their second bout of the schedule. Grant Hunter, three -year letterman, climaxed his high school career with an undefeated season. Bob Knight, junior 125-pounder, and Wayne Lee, fouryear varsity letter winner, each suffered only one defeat throughout the twelvematch campaign. !(ni ght was undefeated in the 125-pound class, but was handed his only defeat to Perkins of Hamburg in the l 35-pound division.

They Swing the Sticks Abraham Lincoln is noted for its wide field of athletic enterprises, but until a few years ago golf had not entered the schedule at the hilltop. For those not interested in track, golf has been accorded much popularity in the past few years. Under the tutelage of Coach Harold Stout, the golfers have improved every year, although they are still behind some of the other e xperienced schools. Nevertheless, they were able to achieve a fairly successful season last year and are expected to do even better this spring. Kt1cket-teers Much credit is due to the boys who represent Abraham Lincoln in tennis. Although a minor sport at this school, more boys are turning out each year and taking a greater interest in it. Because of inadequate playing facilities, the netsters find it hard to compete with other schools that feature the hard-clay sport. Under the eye of Coach Howard Mcilrath, the tennis players have to do "as best they can whereve r they can." Very little time is spent in prac - tice because they lack a court, and the practice that is done is in the gymnasium. : : 07 : : Front row: Miss Ni x, Everhardt, Ford, Stageman, Kmez ich.

On the left was a large Ranch with two Barnes full of Hays, and on the right was a Derry owned by a Katleman . There were many turkey Gablers running Winfields of alfalfa. Spread ing out the food, we sat down to e at it under a large Ulm tree with Voss on the trunk. The Mayne course consisted of Bacon and Eggers, double Decker sand - wiches, maca-Rooney, Oyster soup, ice c ream, and a Bock of candy Bahrs. Afte r PINECREST ....

"We all have coke, but she Aders." "Then let's Singer a song." Some of them started to harmonize on "Oh, Shea Con You See," and we all stood up to stretch. Later while we were taking a Walker-ou nd the woods, one of the girls tripped and fell, Bruce-ing her knee . She didn't Howell, but said it was Sorenson places. Cay said a doctor would Cure it, but Durfee was quite high . Several boys went for a Boatright in a little rowboat rented to them by a Fischerman. Before we left we met a Hunter who had just shot a Wulf. When the sun started to sink in the west, we packed up and set out for home. "This picnic was sure a killer-Diller''" someone said. And Perlmutter-ed "Holmes was I never like this." Which ended a perfect day, and all I con add is that we all lived happily Evers after. • Your Chevrolet Dealer . ..

Broadway Phone 1622 And then he was a junior, Only one more year to go, He was a "wow" in a ll the clubs And to others he did crow. At lost he was a sen ior, The goal was reached so fast, Graduation time hod now arrived, His high school days were post. Out into the world he set To get a job or die; He was smiles from head to toe, The world was cherry pie. In school he "boned" for any job And studied every course, He had taken Spanish, Germon, French And shorthand from the source. But woe betook our hero brave, He searched both night and day, But a paying job he never found, He's now on W. P. A.

Gy mnasium T wo The Nation's Moral Defense Throughout the nation, the gears of industry are rotating at full speed. Factories are beginning to turn out defense items in mass production. So it is with the high schools of America . Simultaneous with hurried preparations for national defense, thousands of stu - dents are preparing for their future as citizens. They have completed their apprenticeships and are ready to take part in their nation's moral defense as full-fledged workmen . These students have passep through their last "bottleneck." When this year's commencement exercises have come and gone, many thousands of young men and women graduates will shoulder new responsibilities. They will gladly accept the task of carrying on in the struggle to preserve Amercan liberties. ~.I Table of Contents Dedication Administration Faculty Classes Activities Sports R. 0. T.

We know that only by keeping our minds free from prejudice and narrowness can we preserve the essence of democracy; that by opening our hearts and minds and keeping them clear and liberal, we can help to preserve for ouselves and our fellow-men that individual freedom which our forefathers embodied in the Constitution. Therefore, it is to spiritual defense that we dedicate the Crimson and Blue of 1941 . Fi ve Si x BOARD OF EDUCATION Raymond Smith, E. V. Gustafson, Poul E.

This operetta is based on the old fairy tole in which His Majesty, the Emperor, is tricked into buying a suit of clothes which, supposedly, can be seen only by the good and faithful. The results are very humorous indeed. The shysters, Flou Flou and Fripcn, ore apprehended by Jorrotiere, the banished betrothed of the Princess, thus winning the favor of the Emperor. In order to show his gratitude the Emperor presents Chousette, his daughter, to Jorrotiere in marriage and names him as the crrince llo r to succeed the aged Archivieux. The music for the operetta is clever and colo rful and greatly accentuates the mood of the operetta as a whole. Two dance groups added much to the presentation. One of the most outstanding and commendable characteristics of the operetta was that all costumes, wigs, and prope rties were made by the members of the vocal groups. Special mention must a lso be give n the fine orchestral work. A single phrase aptly describes this operetta : "One of the most colorfu I and successful musical pe rformances eve r pres2nted at Abraham Lincoln ."

Learning to Analyze Problems One of the first steps in becoming a good citizen is becoming acquainted with one's government. The debate squad too k a great stride along this line when discussing the subject, "Resolved : The Powers of the Federal Government Should Be Increased ." The first event in the debate season was the annual debate banquet. Jack Peregoy won first place in the after-dinner speaking contest held at that time. Following this was the intersociety tournament. The Logos, "the underdogs" of past years, won the boys' tournament and the Cli os defeated th~ girls. As is the custom, the women had the last word when the Clios defeated the Logos in the final rounds. After the close of intersociety debate, the large varsity squad was chosen . These deba ters participated in the Missouri Valley Debate Tournament. Here the girls placed fourth and the boys placed third in their respecti ve tourname nts. The varsity fiftee n was then earl y January, the se people Midland Coll ege at Fremont. Fifl t1Ul' selected. In journeyed to A. L. entered two teams which came out well in spite of opposition . Merry DeVol and Mary BrugenHemke entered the extempo and afterdinner speaking contests respectively. During February, A. L. had the honor of playing host to the underclassmen for a discussion program. This tournament gave juniors and sophomores an opportunity to debate and also to hear some very outstanding speakers. Concluding a very successful year, the Varsity Fifteen journeyed to Perry, Iowa, to Drake University at Des Moines, and to Iowa City for tournaments. Although the teams had tough competition, they emerged with a good percentage. Winners of the declamatory contest which was entered by all literary societies were as follows: Walter Wheeler in the oratorical division, who spoke on "And Sudden Death" ; Joyce Bransby in the humorous di - vision, whose sel ection was "The First Day of Kindergarten"; and La Verne Page in the dramatic division, who gave "Buttons".

Miller CHEERLEADERS Prafeda Kmezich Millard I I WARREN VOGT Honorary Captain Pigskin Review Our 1940 football season will be a long remembered one for its all-around good team and a good season. The Lyn x hod one of their bette r seasons, winning six games and losing two. Opening on Kirn Field on Friday 13, the Lynx turned bock Missouri Volley, 32 to 0 . Tom Copel, Bud Plunkett, Art O'Neill, and Dick Deon crashed post the Big Red barriers for A . L. touchdowns. At Harlan the Hi I I toppers blanked the home team, 26 to 0. Plunkett, Copel, Honorary Captain Warren Vogt, and George Lemen counted touchdowns for the Lynx. Ploying for the first victory over Tee Joy since 1936, the Lincolns toppled the Jeffs 18 to 7. It was a nip and tuck bottle from the first whistl e to the lost. Dick Deon bucked over the first six points with Bud Plunkett following suit. The Jeffs drnve over late in the second quarter to pull up to 12 to 7. Plunkett heaved a poss to Ed Williams to end the scoring and pile up the largest victory margin over the Westend rivals. Central Sioux City handed the Lynx their first defeat 20 to 0 . Chorley Uknes scored all of the points. This was one of the toughest teams in the Missouri Volley conference. Omaha Central journeyed across the ri ver to hand the Hil ltoppers their second loss of the season. The Lyn x practically handed the Eag les the 12 to 0 decision . A.

O'Neill Dean Anderson Plunkett Miller Pigskin Review The Lynx dropped Logan by 7 to O; charging 236 yards while holding the Panther's offense to 57 yards. Art ONeill, playing with a broken hand, showed the fans two beautiful 46 yard punts. Bud Plunkett Speer Sad le r E ig hty -two Story carried the mail on the scoring play, then passed to Tom Capel for the seventh point. Logan battled fiercely to revenge the 1939 season's 58 to 0 rout and nearly came out with a tie. With Tee Jay reputed to have a much better ball club than that wh ich first took the field against the Lynx, a very close game was expected. The Jeffs had a win over the strong Cre ighton Prep eleven a nd only needed a victory over Abe Lincoln for a good season. Every boy on the Hi I I top team was wanted to make this last contest with the Yellowjackets a successful one for the seniors.

Missouri Valley, Logan and Omaha Benson suffered defeats when they met the Hilltoppers.

Creighton Prep was again easy prey for the Lynx grapplers before succumbing again to Tech, Tee Jay, and South. Coach Chew, with a manager and ten of h is best men, trekked to Cherokee to participate in the district wrestling tournament.

T. C. as a sophomore. Only the boys in this organization know the struggle involved in order to achieve an Honor Rating at the annual inspection . With the announcement of the beginning of drill in the middle of September some five hundred boys were launched on the way to an Honor Rating the following May. Competitive examinations involving ail subjects covered in the first two years of their training were given the seniors wanting a promotion. Outstanding cadets in these tests were promoted to second lieutenants and allowed to lead the "Back to the Rails" parade . Theoretical training held the cadets' attention during the winter months. Lectures were given concerning map reading, musketry, first aid, combat principles, scouting and patrolling, and the characteristics of infantry weapons. When spring came and close order drill was resumed, interest mounted steadily. The 1941 Military Ball was one of the most beautiful of all balls and will be long remembered. Efforts were then concentrated on the inspection which was scheduled for May l 3. Drill was held five days a week in order to give more time both to close order and extended order training . Companies were given their respective duties for the inspec - ti on and these were practiced over and over. May l 3 arrived rapidly. The regiment turned out in all its glory-officers with brass and sabers gleaming, and cadets with immaculately clean uniforms .. . . The end of another year came all too quickly as the 1941 regiment fol lowed the 1940 into the past.

Rosenkranz Two Mobilized For Victory Awake America! Stand by to meet any emergency! A radio flash on December 7, 1941, shocked Americans into a full awareness of national danger. The. phr.ase, "Remember Pearl Harbor," will come in the future to be a household word for alertness. Now it is the war-cry of youth, a cal I to the army, the navy, the air corps. The cream of American manhood is being mobili zed for victory. In no less measure has the a lert been sounded for the citi zens at home. We are the wardens who, wide-awake, watchful vigilant, whi le keeping national life going normally, must at the same time bend every effort to war production. Priorities demand that we place defense above every other consideration. Yet the schools still rema in the first line of defense, for out of them come the future soldiers, the sa ilors, the airmen; out of them too comes the post-war nation. The school is the greatest priority. Happy will be the country that remembers that after wars cease, out of the schools come the statesmen, the presidents, the scholars, the artists, the workmen in all walks of life. Here in the school beats the heart of the nation. That heart is alive to America's need. CONTENTS--Dedicat ion (4 ) .. . A d - m ini stration ( 6 ) . . . Faculty ( 8 ) . .

Four America On Guard The Statue of Liberty, standing guard at America's front door, uplifts a torch that is a constant challenge to vigilance. Now as never before in the world's history, this is a challenge to preserve a way of life. That way of life for us Democracy-a way of life that believes in the worth of the individual, in liberty, and in "freedom-loving men and women." Our spiritual heritage is too deep-rooted to rel inquish; we are determined to preserve it at all costs. Conquer we must. As young people who must in the future carry on the American tradition, we dedicate the yearbook of 1942 to the Spirit of Eternal Vigilance.

Eleven They Guide and Inspire THE FACULTY The faculty of a modern American high school accepts a challenge second to none . Meeting youth on its own ground, the teachers must be Argus-eyed to catch every flicker of talent and to fan it into a flame of action. Guidance and inspiration are the keynotes of their program. The forty-five members of A L.'s faculty are thoroughly alive to the opportunities and responsibilities of their task. The Dean of Girls As friendly consultant and confidant, the dean of girls is an indispensable asset to any large high school. Miss Nyrop has filled this position admirably here for eleven Miss Dora Nyrop Twelve years. Her duties include supervision of N. Y. A work for girls, first-aid service, counseling, pre-college advice, orientation, and supervision of rural students. Alice Madsen I In the classrooms the student becomes aware of the many wonders awaiting him in the fields of ~cience, mathematics, music, literature, h istory . If he is alert, there is no limit to the range of his understanding of the universe. Thil'tt_C!l Standing: Blaine Vandevente r, Mr. Burke.

Now we find ourselves in the place of honor at Abraham Lincoln High School. Four yea~ of high school have seen our mora l, mental, and physi cal growth . We were grade school children with little responsibility; now we are seniors who have been trained to accept and fullfill our obligati ons and responsibilities. We shall go on doing this with an earnestness that shows we are qualified to step into the business and social life of a nation at war as well as at peace. Citizenship, as well as scholastic attain - ment, has played an important part in our education. By becoming good citizens of our school, we may, in turn, become good citizens of our nation . Now, as we poss the finale of our days in high school, we shall be on the alert to grasp the impressive opportunities of the adult world. We shall endeavor so to live that our school, its faculty, and our friends may feel pride in our achievements. Fifteen EARL ANDERSON Commercial Masque and Wig, Head electrician, R.O.T.C.

We gained a "thank you" from the seniors for arranging the Junior-Senior Prom. We hope that we have gained the goodwill of the faculty so they will welcome us-to coach and teach us in our senior year. We look forward to our senior year with hope comparable to that felt last year in Th irty-two becoming upper classmen. Our scholastic and athletic attainments we hope will be crowned with greater success next year. We will apply our efforts to keep up the reputation of our school, to make the alumni proud of us, and to please our schoolmates. So we bid farewell to our junior year and will welcome the September that will begin our senior year.

During the time that the United States was being attacked for the first time in history, and countries were fighting for their very existence, a war-time graduating class of Abraham Lincoln High School went Miss Baptist Mr. Rosenkranz forth to do its share in winning the struggle for democracy.

DcVol. Forensics This year's debate problem "Resolved: That every able-bodied male citizen of the United States should have one year of full Lme military training before attaining the present draft age" was timely and in line with the trend of thought of the American people. Th2 regular varsity two-men teams were used for the first time this year in intramural competition instead of the traditional three-men teams. In the final rounds, the champion boys' team, the Aristos, defeated the Thalians, the champions of the girls. The varsity squad then started to prepare for the contests that were in the offing. A new system of problocts was e xperimented with and proved successful. In Decembe r the varsity team placed second at a tournament at Central High School in Lincoln, Nebraska. With the advent of 1942, the debate team returned to Lincoln Fifty-six to enter the Nebraska Wesylan Univesity Forensics contest. Out of a field of more than th irty teams, Abraham Lincoln squad placed sixth in the two-day meet. The varsity members with a full month to prepare for the district tournament at Perry, Iowa, ofter the Wesylon contest, went to work with full intention of gaining ultimate victory at the district contest. On Morch l, Rose Pa luk.a, Leono ra Sollozo, Marvin Richards, Jack Peregory, a nd R. Craig Olson, succeeded in winn ing the tournament, undeofeted, untied, and with a total average of "excellent" for both teams. The accomplishments were not singularly at the district, however, for Jock Peregory qualified for the state tournament in extemporaneous speaking. The State Tournament was a proving ground for good hard work, and although A. L. was not victorious, the contest was a most desirable climax to the year's work.

From the time a student ente rs the ninth grade until he becomes a sen ior, his highest ambition is to become a member of the National Hono r Society. The requirements for this honor are stiff. They are stiff because only a limited number may be selected as members. To be elegible fo r membership, one must rank in the upper third of h is c lass if he is a senior, and in the upper fourth of h is class if he is a junior. He must have shown marked achievements in other qualifications. S ixty-two There are four basic requirements for membership in this o rganization: Character, scholarship, leadersh ip, and service. In considering membership, a secret committee of teachers composed of representatives from eve ry department se lect those who have most nearly fulfilled these high standards. Fi nally the day comes when members are to be taken into the Honor Society. After three or four years of diligent study and service, the ir ambition is at last realized.

Seventy-n ine Gridiron Review Boasting of no spectular record in the 1941 season, the Abraham Lincoln football squad ended the campaign with three wins chalked up against five defeats. The first game resulted in a setback, but that was soon overshadowed as the Lynx pounded out two successive victories on home grounds. Constantly battling the injury jinx, the squad went into a four-game slump and finall y emerged by taking the season's loser. On September l 3, Abraham Lincoln invaded the stronghold of the Big Red in the season's initial fray. A veteran Missouri Valley outfit capitalized on blunders midway in the nip-and-tuck battle to blast the hopes of the Lynx for an undefeated sea - son. From deep in the heart of A L. territory a poor punt and a disastrous penalty paved the way for Valley's score. Grid proceedings on Kirn Field were started two weeks later as a scrappy Logan went down, 13-6. Scott's end run climaxed a first quarter drive, and O'Neill's 56-yard runbac k of a Logan pass yielded the Lynx their first victory. City rivalry was renewed on the West End Field as Thomas Jefferson played host to the Lincolns. Tee Jay struck first, but A L. countered a s Lemen took the kickoff and went 96 yards behind good blocking to even the count. Driving over twice in the last ART O'NEILL Honorary Captain half, the Yellowjackets handed our gridmen a bitter 19-6 setback. The Bluffsmen raided the den of the East Sioux City Raiders in the tough est scrap of the season . Scoring in every quarter the powerful Sioux Citians scuttled the outclassed, but spirited Lincolns, 26-0. In spite of a crippled squad, Hilltop home competition was kept in the win column at the expense of Atlantic the next wee k. Abe Lincoln regulars and reserves topped off a spirited week of practice as they a 11 saw action in the 24-6 victory. Scott and Radtke sparked the offense with long end runs that brought the crowd to its feet. A blocked punt deep in Lynx territo ry was the golden opportunity and Central Omaha took it to squeeze past Coa ch Lawson's lads in a 7-0 heartbreaker on Kirn Field .

Eigh ty -SC\'CTI Lynx The Abe Lincoln wrestling squad was given the works during the 1941 -42 season, losing ten matches and winning only one. Our new wrestling instructor, Paul Hoemann, built his squad around the four returning lettermen - Loper, Lee, Cash, and Carta Starting off with a bang by pinning Atlantic 26-20, the team showed great promise, but soon fell into the paws of a ten-game losing streak, defeats coming at the hands of Tech, South, Central, North, and Tee Jay. Doped to clinch the cellar spots at the district tournament, a determined aggregation of grapplers journeyed to the meet and orought home third place. Four boys qualified for individual honors : Loper and Carta, l 29 and l 35 class respectively, copped first place crowns, and Lee and Campbell took second place in the 112 and 95 pound classes. E ighty-e ig h t CO-CAPTAINS Leo Cash-Lynx individual scoring champ. Louis Loper-District winner.

Only four lettermen and their senior ye ar this June : Louise Loper and Orville Lee, both veteran grapplers, and Myron Stroh - behn and Dave Shugart, first year men .

The cinder-hoppers were decidedly hindered by a small turn-out and injuries. Mentor Bayless plans a well-rounded track team next year from returning lettermen and a strong set of reserves.

If the war continues, they will soon be America's color bearers in fact. " And the Star Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. " Nine ty-five ~ I In the Military Spotlight "The Military Ball is tonight." For twenty-three years the students of Abraham Lincoln High School have looked forward to that night every year when one of the highest honors in the school will be given to one senior boy and one senior girl. "Victory" was the theme of the Military Ball this year on March 7 . Rifles, the nine corps area symbols, the colorful dresses and uniforms, and the huge Amrican Flag stretched across the ceiling made an impressive sight and helped to carry out the theme of the Ball. One by one the officers and honorary officers were presented and formed a long double line . Through this line, under drawn sabers, Cadet Colonel Robert Alberti and Honorary Colonel Mary DeVol passed on to lead the grand march . N inety-seven The yea r I 942 hos been of specia l significance to the Abraham Linco ln Regiment of R. 0 . T.

Three dances, besides the M ilitary Ball, were sponsored by the officers or the Crack Platoon. The proceeds of the se dances went to the R. 0 . T . C. fund wh ich pays for sabers, A .

Among these are the organizat ions, Crack Platoon and the Silent Platoon , and the c hance g iven eve ry cadet to fi re on the range. For supe rior scores, marksman, sharpshooter, and expert meda ls were awarded. Medals were also awarded to the outstanding cadets of t he regiment.

The regiment was formed with one battalion in the drill lot and one battalion in the street. Then at the officers' commands the full regiment marched to Kirn or Robertson Field for a practice review. Sometimes these parades were carried on after school. The fo rma l inspecton was displayed to its full extent, with each man doing his part. One Hundred One Company E Company F COMPANY E-Capt.

Some Are Finer The Crack Platoon of Abraham Lincoln was formed for the purpose of giving the enlist ed men who are outstanding in the reg - iment something to work for. The drill is the same as prescribed by the War Department except for a few movements worked One Hund,.ed Two out by the men themselves. Although this is the ir first year, the men have already put on several pe rformances at the school dances and have been high ly received. It is a chance for the new men of the reg iment to get ahead. I·_,, l Daze by Days ~~ ~ II ' " ' If ' Left, top to bottom. Portals of knowledge ... Bull's eye' . . . Artist and model . . .

Salute At Sunset With a grave salute, the Crack Platoon respectfully lowers Old Glory at sunset. The Flag Code decrees that the Stars and Stripes shall not remain up after sundown. But "by the dawn's early light" the Red, White and Blue will again be waving proudly from the top of the mast. In a sense, for the seniors, graduation from high sc hool marks one sunset in their careers. It is only a temporary lowering of the flag, however. In an early dawn On e Hundred Four their flag, too, will again be flying to mark continued activity in college, career, or calling. For the rest of us, June is a pause in our education, but September will see us again gathering on the hillside in the old, redbrick school house, ready for another year of furious activity.

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

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

The Daughters of the America n Revolution dedicated the memorial in October, 191 l , and the site is now a favorite spot from w hich to view the two cities and the river valley. Lincoln, at the time of his visit here, first met and tal ked w ith Grenville M. Dodge, whose "whole career is synchronous w ith ra ilway expansion west of the Mississipp i," according to t he Rev. J. R. Perkins, h is biographe r. The story has been pre - served in " T rails, Rails and War." This replica (left) of the Sa int-Gaudens statue .Jf Lincoln in Lincol n Park, Ch icago, stands in tne e ntrance hall of Abraham Li ncoln High School. Jhe The beciutiful Dodge Memoria l, by Dan ie l Chester French, erected in memory of Mrs. Grenville M.

Some might say, " Where do you see any fun in working over music just for a rating"? They wou ld a nswer back, " You don't know what you're missing." Of course it's hard work practicing and practicing unti l the piece is ready for perfection, but, oh, how proud they feel when they go to the score board and find that their division got a l rating! There's also the excitement of piling into a bus and heading for the place of competition, Top to ri ght : String Quintet, Brass Quintet, Woodwind Quartet, Contest Soloists, Brass Quartet, Trumpet Trio, Drum Ensemble. where young people all over the state gather to vie in music. A. L. was right on top this year when it came to excellent ratings, not only in vocal but also in instrumental music.

'46 Jootbaf f Sea:Jon HONORARY CAPTAIN JACK WISE All-State utility line man One win , one t ie, and six losses do not t e ll the struggles of the valiant A. L. a thl etes. Handica pped from lack of reserves and expe ri e nce, they neverth e less pl ayed the ir hea rts out to w in or lose for A. L. The Lynx kic ked off to our Inter-city a nd Mo. Valley confe re nce foe, A. L. vs. T. J. Fift y- t hree Omaha Tech, at Kirn Field to start the season's campaign. Jim Anderson was fired a pass and he dashed over for six points. Gibbons of Tech scooted around end for Tech's score in the third quarter, with Sam lncontico booting the winning point. The trying Lynx lost 7 to 6 , handicapped in their ' 1greeness.'' With high hopes for victory denied them with Tech, the Hilltoppe rs journeyed to Shenandoah for the second contest of the season. Fighting hard, A. L. outplayed the Mustangs in the first half. The able Lynx were rocked for two touchdowns in the last half. Fumbles by A. L. let the score stand 1 2-0 in Shenandoah's favor. Facing the city rival, T. J., A. L. fought hard to preserve the 6-6 tie, which was racked up on a pass rifled to Jim Anderson. A blocked punt late in the fourth quarter set the Jeffs' winning plunge, with no time left for the Lynx to match it. It was 12-6, the Jeffs on top in points, as the game ended. The Junior jays of Creighton Prep were the next conquerors of the game Abe Lynx crew. A quarter-back sneak by Roger Van Meter netted the Crimson and Blue's only score . Jack Wise and Jim Anderson were standouts for the Lynx. Tough breaks and fumbles hit the Lynx and accounted for the 26-6 defeat. SIDE : J ake Jessen, George LaMasters, Bob Currie, Bill Strachan.

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

The Inter- city Championship and runne r-up spot in the tough Mo. Valley Conference were two laure ls which were won by the Lynx. Handicapped by a large squad, Coach Lawson nevertheless. developed a strong and well-balanced team which won its opening game on a basket in the last eight seconds. The Lynx then journeyed to Sioux City, where they lost the game to Central. The fastbreezing Lynx came shooti ng back to win four in a row- Sioux City Ea.st, Omaha Central, Thomas Jefferson and Omaha Tech. Sixty After playing a tough game on Friday ( 46- 43), A. L. shot it out with Bays Town, losing 33-31 in a thri ll-packed game. A. L. then trounced its former conqueror Sioux City Central 37-27. The valiant Lynx lost to Creighton Pre p on a foreign court. The disappointed team came charging back to post wins over Sioux City East, Omaha Tech and T. J. Journeyi ng to Lincoln for their toughest game of the season, the Lynx were turned back by an a lert Lincoln team. A. L. blasted its last two scheduled oponents, Omaha Centra l and Creighton Prep, and prepared for the state tournament. The Hil ltoppers coasted th rough the d istrict tourney, posti ng triumphs over Ade l and Glenwood. Playing the favorite role, A. L. was tamed by Villisca 4 1 to 50 in the substate tourney. This was the Hilltoppers' "coldest" game. Wilcox, Vandeventer, Strachan, Anderson and Sulley were main ly responsible for A. L.'s splendid record .

You, the students, are the real school. But with that grea t privilege goes a two-fold responsibility. First, th e school can fl ourish onl y in rela tion to yo ur effort, cooperation, and conduct. Second, the nation can prosper onl y :tccording t ::> how well you, through the school, arc able to take your place in our society. fn today's confused, rapidly-changin g worl d, the d uty of youth in developing its full capacity and stature is tremendous.

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

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

School, too, is a "jumping-off" place where, through many kinds of learning, we ready ourselves fo r exciting frontiers of our own- " the adventures that have no time and no place- the great adventures of the human mind and heart and spirit" O n these facing pages are shown our school's physical plant and a view of Council Bluffs, once famous itself as an outfitting point for the Forty-niners and Mormons. School Is A "Jumping-Off" Place Captains of the Caravan On the old wagon trails, captains of the caravan were the organizers, the leaders who h elped those in their ch arge to journey successfully to their goal . ..

Stuelke is not new to A . L. Before th e war, he taught social studies; returning from se rvice in January, 1946, h e became vice- principal. An important interest of his is th at of developing the student council into a n organization of fun ctioning government with real influence . Anoth er is that of in - stilling in each student an often -neglected sense of disci pline and responsibility to accompany his rights and pri vil eges. Mr. Stuelke 's philosoph y of democrati c and practical citi zenshi p is best ex pressed in this message to the stude nts of Abraham Lincoln High : " In a democ racy th e process of educating yo uth should cove r th e span of life experience . The knowledge instill ed and the skills and attitudes developed should deal with th e mental, ph ysical, social, spiritual, moral, ethical, aesthetic, and vocational aspects of his life. "Our school h as a definite obligation to educate yo ung people to live useful lives. The educated man is h e who uses the culture of mankin d to adjust himself to conditions of his time." Theron R.

James Marshall opened the sluice-gate of Sutter's Mill, watched the torrent rush from th e tailrace, and excitedly scooped up a h andful of yellow nuggets washed th ere by th e water . N ews of the gold spectac ularly opened another "sluice-gate, " and th e tide of westward emigration spilled ove r the All eghenies, through th e Cumberl and Gap, fl oodin g the grassy prairies and th e far western slopes. 8 For some, th e gold rush meant a fo rtune gained ; for others, a fortun e lost. But, win or lose for th e Forty- niners, this discovery ch anged th e course of history- and u Before, we h ad been Europea ns; now we were something new, Americans, reshaped by th e influences of th e fro ntier land .

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

The Alphas this year were very proud of their members. In the literary society play, "Good Night, Ladies," three members took part; they were Mary Lou Ginn, Midge Rolison, and A vis Williams ... M ary Lou Ginn again honored the society by taking part in the finals of the P rose and Poetry contests, and in the Extemporaneous Speaking contests. Other w inners in Extempo were JoAnn V arner and Anna M ay Thompson . . . Peggy Bromberg was the student director of the operetta, "Pickles." . . . In M ay the annual M other-Daughter banquet broug ht activities to a satisfying close. CAMERA CLUB. Student interest in photography brought a new club to A. L. this year, the Camera Club. Orga nized under the leadership of Mr. M iller and Mr. Little, the club has built its activity around a Speed Graphic and an enlarger, both made possible from money donated by previous graduating classes. Additional equipment was purchased from funds raised by a dance and from the sale of prints of school activities .. . Enthusiastic members h ave been pretty much in the "dark" this semester, working away in the developing room, whi ch was originally a storeroom in Mr. Miller's classroom . .. Three main purposes of the new club are : to acquire know-how through camera work and meetings centered aro und different ph ases of the photographic fi eld ; to give students an opportunity to make practical use of their h obby; and to take pictures for the annual, The Echoes, and school sale. CLIO. The Clio motto, "Not for self, but for all ," was really lived up to by its members, who worked to bring honor to the school and their society, not for personal glory . . . Clio ac tivities began this year with the informal initiation of new members . . Lois T ollinger, Beverly Feekin , and Eve lyn Barritt were football queen attendants ... Representin g the Clios in "Good Night, Ladies," first play of the ye;tr, were Peggy Jensen, Lois T ollinger, Barbara Baird, and J;rni ce Bland. Sever;tl Clios worked on th e production staff .

Rtrbara was selec ted as one of the four best. Gretchen Campbell and Lois T ollinger had roles in the o peretta . . . The Christmas program and te;t was a high - li ght of th e fal l semester. A tribute to Clio mothers, the annu;tl V ;il enti ne tea in their honor was a bi g event. DELTA TAU. Annual initiation of new members sLtrted off a full year for the Delta T ;tus. A cti vity continued in fu ll swin g w ith H elen Russell , Maril yn M ason, Sylvi;t Djurdjcv ich, an d Shirley Allred tak ing part in dcb;tte.

P;trticipa nts in the play, "T wo Gentlemen and V erona," given by the Delta Taus, Th ali ans, ;m u Omegas, were Jani ce Lainson ;tnd M arilee Stempl e The Delt<t Taus were extremely proud of 38 Nancy Voss, who was the state D . A. R. winner of the good citizenship essay contest .. . To complete the year, the Delta Taus held their annual M other- Daughter banquet. DRAMA CLUB. M ore than 125 students are now members of the Drama Club, organized in the fall of '48. Under leadership of Mrs. Arlene Danielson Harding, the club has sponsored this year's Road Show, staged two literary society plays, the annual Christmas program, the junior and senior class plays, and assisted with the operetta. In D ecember they sponsored a dance called the "Bell Ball" ... M embers are now working toward a charter in the National Thespian Dramatic H onor Society for High Schools (better known as Thespians), which is the same type of organization for drama clubs as is Quill and Scroll for journalism students. ERO. Initiates of the Ero Literary Society will long remember the "cat" story as told by Joan Krause at the KOIL Point Picnic. And the food- remember? Enough and to spare ' ... The fall debate program was supported by M ;trie H ansen, a veteran debater, with new Eros, Gail Satterfi eld, N ancy W atson, and Renee N elson learning how to "resolve." ... "Good Night, Ladies," combined literary society play, found these Eros busily watching their cues: Jeannine Speight, Sue Swanson, M argie Jenkins, Janet Bartel, Jayne Allavie, Joan Krause, and Mary Castle. Marcia Gordon, student director, and Lois Brown were top Ero ti cket sellers, w ith the Eros as champions in society competition ... M argie Jenkins brought honor to h er society as a w inner in the Prose and Poetry finals ... Besides the initiation picnic, social functions included a Christmas party, a V alentine tea, and the traditional Mother-Senior banquet in M ay. HI-Y. This was a good year of accomplishment for the Hi-Y. The group sponsored an after-football dance, the proceeds of which were contributed to the N ational Children 's Fund. During the Christmas season, H i-Y boys worked with the Goodfellows, coll ecting money for needy fa mili es . . In March they sponsored a basketball tournament held ;tt A . L. T eams representing towns all over Southwestern Iowa participa ted. The Lynx team, placing third in the tournament, won two games and lost one. The Champions from H arla n edged the Lynx 45-43 , while G reenfield was a victim 40-2 4 and Atlantic 52-24 . The an nual Easter program was produced by the Hi-Y's Their year's activities ended with ;1 picn ic at Lake M anawa. INTERSOCIETY DEBATE.

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

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

H eading the story of romance and intrigue on ;1 lonely island off the coast of Maine were Gretchen Gunpbell, Del Ranney, Jerry Pierce, and Patricia H er· ring. A s a two·man "haunting" team, Ranney and Pierce evoked frequent amusement with their repartee and imi· Cttions. Excellent characterizations by the supporting cast heightened the tenseness in the three·~:c t drama. Expert staging, unusual lighting, ;tnd <tj•propriate background music added materially to the effectiveness of the production.

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

L's young men responded enthusiastically to everything from the new M -1 rifle to air flights and firing demonstrations. Following are highlights in the roundup of events: Rifle Team. Lynx sharpshooters covered 1500 miles in shooting rifle matches. That's real distance-as far as from here to Boston, and far in excess of any previous year's traveling ... Competing in the Camp Perry indoor matches at Booneville, Mo., A. L. placed second as a team .. . "Deadeye" Roger Miller tied for third in the annual rifle matches held throughout the Fifth Army twelve-state area. A . L.'s rifle team placed seventh. Flights. High grades meant high -flying for a group of cadets who earned those grades in map and aerial photo tests. A warded a two-hour flight in a C-47 over Iowa and N ebraska were Leonard Amato, Lawrence H ardegen, Bob B. Johnson, and Dave Olson. Military Ball. Presentation of Bill Wickman as lieutenant colonel and Janice Reese as honorary lieutenant colonel marked the thirtieth an nual Abraham Lincoln High School military ball at the A . L. gym Friday evening, M arc h 2 5. With long-awaited fanfare, officers and their ladies were revealed as they stepped through an arch formed by the legs of a giant cadet figure suspended from the ceiling .. . Colonel Wickman's staff officers and their ladies were Maj. Don Larsen, executive offi cer, and M aril yn Peterson ; and M aj. Fred Miller, adjutant, and M arilee Stemple. Firing Demonstration. Helping to celebrate Army Day, A pril 6, c;1dets piled into army trucks and rode out to a fi eld firin g range, where was demonstrated for them th e firin g of all weapons in the infantry regiment. Men from A . L. formed the weapon squad under Gene W oolhiser. New Equipment. The 1903 model rifle went the way of all obsolete equipment, was replaced by th e M -1. A ccording to those who know, this is the best semiautomatic rifle in the world . A s a result, A. L. cadets had in their hands the most up-to-date and effective weapon a soldier could possess. Spring Inspection. Climax of ROTC activities was th e spring inspection held on May 11 and 12 fo r the two high schools. A. L. cadets passed smartly in review before Col. H arry G. Rennagle and Maj.

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

J What makes a championship team in sports7 M any will agree that three things are necessary: a capable coach, a star athlete, and a good supporting team. At A . L. this fall, such a combination got together to win the state Cross Country Run team championsh ip. The coach was Mr. Fee Chew, head track and w restling mentor at the Hilltop. The h eartless workouts h e directed really paid off in the meets at Iowa City. Chuck Whiteaker fi lled the spikes of the star that paced the team to victory. A mid-year senior, Chuck finished a stellar high school track ca reer by winning both the individual state championships in the mile and two-mile cross country runs, and copping first place in a mile and a h alf grind at Drake Stadium. T h e Michigan track coach saw Chuck perfo rm and had him running this spring under W olverine colors. Coach es and sports fa ns recogni:c White · aker as o ne of the greatest trackmen ever to come from Council Bluffs . Completing th e championship team were Dan Longnecker, Ber111 e Lainson, ;rnd Galen H assen. Bob Gree r, T ony Anthony, John M eye r, Jerry Kruge r, and N orman Kinney were underclass aspirants. Since workouts began in August before school opened, all hands were in good shape by the time of th e first meet on October 16. This meet was a mile team race h eld on the University of Iowa track at Iowa City. Chuck Whiteaker landed first place, fo llowed CHUCK WHITEAKER State Cross Country Champ by Dan Longnecker in fo urth , and Berni e Lainso n twenty-sixth in a field of more than fifty runners. On team totals A . L. wound up second out of 11 class AA schools. The next week Lynx leg- men ran against the Des Moines cinder athletes on th e Drake track. The hilltop team won the mi le and one-h alf contest with Whiteake r, Lai nson, Hassen, and Lon '.~n cc r in first, second, fourth , and seventh , respecti vely. On O ctober :;o, the distance crew aga in appea red 111 Iowa City, this time fo r the sta te Cross Country Run.

Coach Thurman Johnson, in his first yea r on the hilltop, was greeted by only two major lettermen, Doug Lawso n, a regular from last year, and Don Larsen, the "sixth man" of last yea r's team. A round these two boys, Coach Johnson built a tough, fast· breaking team, with Kenny W allace and Lawson at the forward posts, Roger H enderson at center, and Dave Lemen and Larsen at guards. Opening the season, the Lynx faced Iowa School fo r the Deaf, starring M ar vin Tuttle. The Lynx took off to a 5 3-48 victory. N ext came St. Francis, whom A. L. soundl y beat, 44-2 9. With Creighton Prep, always a topnotch Omaha squad, visiting the Hilltop, the Lynx went down to their first defeat, 40-24. T raveling then to Sioux City fo r a two-night stand, the Lynx split a pair with th e two tough Sioux City clubs, beating East, 30- 19, and losing to Central by a slim margin , 42-3 7. The H illtoppers visited Omaha Central th e next week and took home a well-earned victory, 38-32. But up agai nst the A . L. alumni, Johnson 's boys lost to the "ol' grads," 34-26. Up against their crosstown rivals, T. ]., next, the Hill toppers lost to the highl y-rated Jeffs, 5 4-38. The foll owin g week the Lynx moved ove r to Omaha T ech and lost in a fast and furious game, 28-24. Sioux City Central visited Council Bluffs fo r their second game w ith th e Lynx the next week. In one of th e most thrilling games eve r played o n the Hilltop boards, the Lynx lost a heart breaker, 46-45. With th e Lynx leading, 45 -44, Sioux City came through in the last Len seconds with a desperation shot that was good. Johnso n's boys broke their losing streak the next week by clipping Sioux City East, 46-3 7, and th en again lost to T ech the fo llowing weekend, 57 -48. Faci ng two more tough ones the fo llowing two weeks, th e Hilltoppers went down fo r the second time before T.J., 44-32 and Lincoln Central, 47-H. Henderson, season 's high-scorer, pots one for the Lynx The Lynx th en split th eir last two regularly-scheduled games of the season by beating Omaha Central, 56- 4 7, and losin g to Creighton Prep, 5 1-41 . Ente rin g tournament play, the Lynx w..::re paired g<tin st T.J. fo r th e District clnmpionshi p. Surprising th e Yel l ow Jackets, the elope sheets, and most pre-game predi ctors, the smooth A .L. team knocked off the Jeffs, 50-7'6. N ext was the sub-state, and again assuming the underdog role, the Lynx blasted a highly-favored W ebster City crew, 48- 47'. Playing in th e fin als of th e sub-state, three nights later, the fi ghting Lynx lost to a tough Fort Dodge team, 44-42, as a late A.L. rally fell short. Ending their basketball careers at A .L. this year we re Don Larsen, Roge r H enderson, Kenny W allace, Don N ymann , Rolland Johnson, T om Cambron, Bob H ansen, and Chuck Larsen.

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

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

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

Located where the Levin home now stands at 2 20 South First Street, it was purchased by the county October 12, 1849, for $800 and used as a courthouse until October 6, 1857. Here is the First Congregational Church in Council Bluffs, founded in 1854 by Rev. G. G. Rice. Reverend Rice persuaded two sisters, Sarah and Lucy Rockwood, to come here and operate a school in the church building , the log cabin shown at right. On the left was the parsonage.

"The little school I left in 1905 h as outgrown its walls and expanded far beyond the dreams of those who planned the housing of it. I have watched with growing pride the triumphs of its students, of the skilled teachers leading them in exploring subjects unknown in high schoo ls of my day. I have looked with paternal approval upon those two master principals, Gerald Kirn and Theron Stuelke, who have guided the eager life in Abraham Lincoln for a generation. And now I can say to the seniors of 195 0: 'Fortunate Youth! Your fine old town and Abraham Lincoln High School have made it possible for you to develop into the kind of men and women free nations must have if, through the years, they are to remain free.'"

Yes, this school in its present structure has reached the ripe old age of half a century. If by some magic the school could talk, what amazing accounts it would tell us of fun and study and successful preparation for life and of illustrious alumni. "Fifty yea rs. That is old for a building. But buildings are only one means to an end, for a high school must be judged by the way it functions rather than by its outward appearance. We at A .

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

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

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

H. ARTHUR L EE JANICE BLAND DEL RANNEY LOIS PADDOCK "Echoing vigorously, justly, and without prejudice" is the well-kept motto of The Echoes. Printed weekly it reflects the students' lives and opinions. Composing the staff in the fall semester were forty-seven students. In the spring there were forty-eight. All other members of the journalism classes were cub reporters. Friday afternoon finds students in 315 reading the most popu lar literature in the library. Heading the staff in the fall were Sue Swanson and Kenny James, editors-in-chief; Harold Cozad, sports editor; John Beno, ad manager; and Marcia Gordon, business manager. Remaining staff members included: Dick letner and Eleanor Sisson, news editors; Clifford Bryson, feature editor; Phyllis Schultz, dub and society editor; Stewart Kemplin and Doris Andersen, assistant sports editors; Tom Fischer and Ronnie O'Neil, exchange editors; and Pat Ford, music editor. Barbara Ames was copy-reader and Peggy Mowery and Phyllis Schultz were proofreaders. lending a hand to the business staff were Donna Evans, assistant ad manager; and Clara Athay, Pat Ford, Charlotte Osborne, Elizabeth Taylor, Evonne Boyer, and Leona Olsen, typists. Top jobs in the spring were taken over by Leonard Amato and Jerry Hansen, editors-in-chief; Del Ranney, sports editor; Lois Paddock, ad manager; and Janice Bland, business manager. Among other members of the staff were Doug Lawson, news editor; Jim Simpson and Barbara Rew, feature editors; Jane Gillespie, club and society editor; Don Dorn and Barbara Elson, assistant sports editors; Norma Blair and Elizabeth T aylor, exchange ed itors; Fred Nimtz, music editor; Bernie Lainson, ROTC ed itor; Evonne Boyer and Virg inia Petersen, birthday editors; and Veronica Silverstrand , fashions editor.

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

Langston Parks and Dick Shaw made the first team all-state, and Matt Walsh drew second honors. A new coach and a new stad ium came together in 1936. Roy Lawson took over the head coaching duties, remaini-ng until 1947. Warren Radtke wrote his name in the sky in 1938 by plac ing first team all-state in basketball and setting the school record in the 100 and 220 yard dashes. A. 1. had a state champion in 'vrestling in 1940 when Grant Hunter brought home the title for the first time in the school's history. Lead by the "ROG" line- D on Radtke, Art O 'N eill, and "Pump" Gibler- the Lynx took the intercity in 1942 for the first time. T he Lynx captured the titl e again in 1946. In 1948 Hughes Wilcox was the big name in basketball and track. In 1949 the football and basketball teams respectively came under the direction of coaches Vic Jennings and Thurman Johnson. Johnson's boys lost to Fort Dodge in the sub-state by only two points. T he harriers took first place in the cross country track meet at Iowa City w ith Ch uck Whiteaker capturing the two-mile crown. In this brief sports summary, mention of many star names and top honors has been sacrificed to limited space. But A.

Starting out on the right foot, the team squeezed by the Creston Panthers in a wide-open contest, 27-26. Dave Lemen led the scoring parade with 21 markers. Once more Ray Novak was too much to handle, as Omaha Tech, the Intercity champs, whitewashed the Lynx, 28-0. A. L. did hold Tech to one of its lowest scores during the season, however. Two long runs by Phil Legg io and Dave Lemen featured the first A. L.-T. J. game as the boys in the Crimson and Blue left the fi eld with a 13-6 victory. The hope of a successfu l season took a seve re setback as the B.enson Bunnies, led by Dick Westin , stopped the Lynx 24-0 on Kirn Field. Seeking revenge for last year's close defeat by Creighton Prep, the determined men from the Hilltop traveled across the river only to receive an astounding 34-7 defeat. Still trying to get back into the win column, the Lynx met a heavy and powerful Sioux City East team on the Black Raiders' fi eld . The Lynx, by use of their passes, were Gerdeman Dri ves for That Extra Yard Against Omaha Central. able to move up and down the field at will, but were not able to pull a victory from the contest. The fin al score was 35-6. N ever g 1vmg up, the boys from A. L. came back to overpower Omaha Central, 13-6. Just ten plays elapsed before Dave Lemen plowed over for his thirty-third point of the season. On a pass from Lemen to Schuman the Lynx tallied another six points and D ave McKinley kicked the extra point. In what was the best defensive game of the year, the Lynx held highly-favored Shenandoah, wi nners of the Hawkeye Seven Conference, to a 6-0 score. The rough, hard- charging Lynx were impreg nable on defense, but they could not get their offensive weapon into gea r. The only score came late in the second period on an end around play. A. L. Seniors played the last game of their high school ca reer aga inst their crosstown rivals, T. J., in an 18-6 loss. Although the game was an evenly-fought contest, the Lynx could neve r recover from an early touchdown by T. J. David Lemen and Sam Tramonte were elected cocaptains of the 1949 team in recognition of their excellent season's play.

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

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

Second-place honors went to Del Ranney, 145 ; and Gene Woolhiser, 165. District meet this year was held at N ewton and the state meet at Mason City. Those who placed first and second were eligible to participate at Mason City. Five Lynx wrestlers-Diblasi, Van Seay, Fischer, Ran ney, and 1949 state champ, McKinley-placed to make the trip.

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

The Lynx had the material for another state championship team, but fate wouldn 't let them have it two years in a row. Seven candidates responded to Coach W alter Kaltenborn · s call for golfers. Th is year marks the second season in whi ch Abraham Lincoln has been represented on the intercity Jinks. An intramural match warmed up the squad m preparation for a rugged six-meet schedule. Judd Gillespie was the sole returning lettermen. Other members of the team included Chuck Reed, Jerry Lawson , Chuck \'V' illiams, Dave Datesrnan , Dave Lemen, and Jack Dryden. ---------- ·-- ------ cfelfermen j C/ut The Lynx Lettermen's Club was organized m the fall of 1947 by lettermen who wished to promote better understanding among athletes. During the 1949-50 season, the Lettermen's Club has been busy with financial matters. It has paid for and maintained the concession 'stand at Kirn Field, rented one popcorn machine, purchased another, and financed and planned all the athletic banquets. The dub has also aided the school in many other ways, such as helping with the basketball tournaments. Members of A. L's huge Pep Club-dressed m their white blouses, navy blue skirts, and white hats-cheer and encourage the team to win. The dub, with a membership of 117 g irls, holds meetings every other W ednesday to go over new yells and plan dances, skits, and "extra programs" given from time to time. Among these "extras" each year are the presentation of corsages to mothers of the basketball team, and presentation of the Pep Club "Pin-up Boy." Chosen as "Pin-up Boy" this year was Dave Lemen.

First, Mrs. CleoJa Mansfield, gym rnstructor, must think up a theme for the g iant pageant. In 1948, the firsf pageant was a dramatization of world peace and union. In 1949, the very successful " Lynx Jynx" bu ilt on favo rite superstitions, was presented. This year, A. L 's golden an nive rsary offered golden possibilities.

And, as with more than one military campaign, what looks to be' a rout settles down after a bedlam of practices and dress rehearsals into an orderly, well-organized series of acts.

Pinafore, " presented in 1906 by the senior class. In 1909 an ambitious senior class play was "Der Neffe als Onkel," translated from the German and given at the old Nicholas Theater, now the Liberty. In 191 4 the first high school cadet play was produced. "Jeanne D'Arc" was presented in 1918, feat-uring the largest cast in the school's history. At one time there were one hundred and twenty people on the stage. From 1919-1942 each of the girls' and boys' literary societies put on a play, and the junior and senior classes each produced a play annually. The ROTC is credited with having orig in ated the first Road Show. From 1920-1923, the Road Shows were great hits, even traveling to neighboring towns, but were discontinued until 1930. In the past fifty years there have been several repeat performances. "It Pays to Advertise" was produced first in 19 18 and again in 1924; "Clarence," by Booth Tarkington, in 1922 and 1940; and "Tom Sawyer," in 19 38 and 1947. In the early 1900's, Shakespeare and German and French translations were the perennial favorites. From the twenties through the forties, play titles indicate a preference for more varied fare , rang ing all the way from the sentimental "Daddy Long Legs" of 1923 to the tragic fantasy, "Death Takes a Holiday," in 194 1. As there are no boys' li terary societies today, the g irls' literary societies combine to g ive two plays a year. Together with the junior and senior class play groups, they carry on the high thespian tradition established in the past by such A. L. coaches as Leota Hatswell, Lucy Jane Robinson Baird, Fred Morrow, Ruth Castle, Ruth Tamisiea, and Mary Ellen M cCabe.

Throug h the combined efforts of the music and speech departments, the true spirit of Christmas was felt in the hearts of all students. Played by the band, fam iliar carols like "H ark the Herald Angels Sing" and "O Little Town of Bethlehem" cou ld be heard as the students filed into the gymnasium. After the students were seated, the speech department of Abraham Lincoln Hig h School presented the Christmas play, entitled "No Room at the Inn." The play told the story of Christ's birth - familiar to everybody - but one that becomes more beautiful as it is repeated .

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

Ucal mu6ic 1903-1950 ~fu ic can never fail in its appeal at ALHS if the love of smgmg contmues to be as popular in the future as it has been in the past. 'In 1910, the Delta Taus organized their own personal glee club, and '12 boasts of the first really successful boys' glee. Gilbert and Sullivan's "H. M. S. Pinafore" was produced by the combined glee clubs in 19 13. With their profits, they bought the school a Victrola. In 1921 , a novice g roup of g irls organ ized the Merry Glees .. "Bulbul," an operetta, and the dedication of Tee Jay H 1g h School were two outstanding prog rams featuring g irls' and boys' glees in 1922. A. L 's Jirst opera was "The Bohemian Girl," presented by the glee clubs in 1926. N_i neteen twenty-n ine brought to Council Bluffs for the first tune the Southwestern Iowa District Music Contest. In 1933 the boys' quartet took lirst place in the state contest, with all large sing ing g roups winning first place in the district contest. And it has since been a tradition for A. L.'s music g roups to walk off with hig h honors. T he last tl~ ree years have yielded two popular operettas - "The Mamage of N annette" and "Pickles"- and the highly successful opera, "Martha." Since the beginning of vocal music at A. L. , there have been many helpful teachers, but well-remembered in the long future w ill be the names of instructors like . Ang ie Middleton, Kathleen Shaw Miller, and the present director, Viola Bichel. Band organ ized in 19 18 . . A $ 500 appropriation from the school boa rd meant the beginn ing of band music at A. L This faded picture from the 19 19 annual shows the early band. Y.n6lrumental mu6ic 1915-19 50 First of the instrumental groups to be organized at Abraham Lincoln was the orchestra during the fall semester of 191 5 and under the direction of Claud Coyle. Three years later, thanks to a five-hundred-dollar appropriation, the band was formed. Both organizations found immediate and ample interest at A. 1. W ith careful instruction under directors Claud Coyle, Lee M. Lockhart, Willibald Nowak, and Rudolph Seidl, the band and orchestra have served importantly in school and civic activities. In contest work, both have nationally distinguished themselves against talented competition at large contests. At Chicago in 1923, the band placed third in the national contest; and in 1935 , the orchestra received high rating in the national contest at Mad ison, Wisconsin. N otable activities of the orchestra also included a concert March 6, 1938, at Joslyn Memorial, and a performance in 1939 on a nation-wide hooku p, under auspices of the N ational Music Educators Conference Members of the band and orchestra have established in the past a high standa rd of music at Abraham Lincoln 1-li oh School, a sta~da rd of excellence conti nu ing under the lead;rship of the new director, Harry H. il t~n .

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

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

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

Thalian debate teams, composed of D erelle Blumer, Betty Christensen , Barbara Hand, and Pat Jasper, displayed an excellent quality of log ic and delivery. An unusual number of contestants participated in Prose and Poetry preliminaries, and two members, Derelle Blumer and Veronica Silverstrand, represented Thalian in the finals. Work on the Extemporaneous Contest prog ressed with fine enthusiasm. Marian Leaders, Jeanette Thomas, and Valera Jepson defended Thalian laurels in extempo semi-finals. The climax of one of the most interesting and profitable years was the play, " Little Women," g iven with the Ero and Omega societies. In May the annual Mother-Daughter Banquet brought activities to a satisfying close. Gro The informal initiation of new members started the year off in full swing fo r the Eros. Activity continued with Joanne Pierce, Beverly Blackwell, and Renee N elsen representing the society in the Inte rsociety D ebate. Beverly and Joanne pl aced second in the debates, and Beverly further honored her society by be ing selected the best debater in the program. Ero Prose and Poetry fin alists were Etta Belle Teale, Beverl y 13Iackwell, Phyllis M alony and Sue Swanson, with Beverly and Phyllis winning first and third places respectively. The Eros, in cooperation with the Thalians and Omegas, g ave the del ig htful play, "Little Women." Social functions included a Christmas party, complete with a v isit from Santa Claus, a Valentine tea, and the annual Mother-Senicr Banquet in April. A.

The Alphas have taken an important part in school activities during the year. Our debaters were Betty Bruhn and Joelle W ahl. In the Prose and Poetry fi nals was Mary Alice MacLafferty, who placed fi rst in a five-state tourney. Joan Mynster, the accompanist for many of the school's musical productions, represented Abraham Lincoln in the D . A. R. contest. Space prohibits naming those in the Road Show and the opera "Martha." LaVonne Cleaveland and Pamela Magarrell were cast in "Don't Take My Penny." One of the highl ights of the year is the annual banquet honoring seniors and mothers. Although several members will be lost by g raduation, the Alphas will continue their tradition of supporting not only the activities of the society, but also the activities of the school. The Cli? motto_ is "Not fo r. self, but fo r all," and every member stnves to live up to this motto by working to bring honor to tl~ e soc1e_ty and to_ the school. Clio activities began this year with the mformal 111 1t1ation of new members. Doris Andersen an. d Jan ice Bland were football quee tt d t . S . S n a en an s, and Ja e~ was prmg ~s r Echoes Business M anager. Re1Jresent1ng the Cl1os m Don't Tak·e My p .. ' ' enny were Doris Andersen, G retch_en Campbell, and Sharon McKinley. Prose and Poetry fi nalists were Peggy Jei1se I SI . . n anc rnron McKmley. Debaters were Dessie Mahan Gle d H ·11 I l H , n a 1 1nan, and N ancy S 1aw er. onorary attendants 1·n ti M "J "t D .

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

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

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

"As we begin the first year of the second half-century, it is difficu lt for a principal to tell what the future holds for h is school. Too m any wonderful plans are never completed due to lack of funds, more urge nt needs elsewhere in the school syst em, o r to a host of other val id reasons. " It does not, however, take a look into the crysta l ball to predict that the only building improvement and expansion program we can expect here at A. L. is the insta lla tion of a new h eating plant a nd the conversion o f a portion of the fourth floor into rooms for study halls. "It is hope d that our curriculum expansion, despite space restrictions, will include more metal shop facilities and a complete agricultural course. The commercial department is at present considering the advisability of a genera l business course to replace the one in accounting. This would prepare more young me n for genera l office work. All other departments of the school a re studying curriculum changes and improvem e nts to mee t more ad - equ ately the students' needs and interests. "The second fifty years of the century should find continuing progress at A.

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

But during the last few years, a virile resurgence has become evident and the city is once again forward -thinking and forward - moving. The City Planning Commission, charged with day-today problems of city growth and with shaping Council Bluffs's future , has recently presented citizens with a master-plan prepared by S. Herbert Hare, planning engineer. Highlights of the plan are wide, tree -lined streets and boulevards, business district by-passes, an expanded, modernized school system, and development of a civic center. That Council Bluffs is a progressive city, compounded of commerce and culture, of homes and children, a city playing a proud part in American life and looking ahead confidently, is graphically told in the series of photographs on this page. North Broadway boom! Hansen's Additions and the Elmwood Drive area help answer demands for more homes as Council Bluffs grows .... Completion of Hoover School spearheads an educational program looking into the future .... A church spire reminds citizens that spiritual growth is not being neglected in the city's progress .... Foundation work at Jennie Edmundson Memorial Hospital on East Pierce and at the new Safeway outlet, First Avenue and Eighth Street, symbolizes twin efforts of the city to meet the problems of health and to grow commercially . . . . Lonely in late autumn is a pumping station, part of the levee system for shielding the city from Missouri River floods. Remaining levee , pumping, and revetment work will be completed this summer . ...

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

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

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

Such regulars as Rod Letner, John Picke rill, Jim McBurney, W ayne Schumann, Ge rald Canaday, Ray La ra, Larry Burdick, Ja c k Mord eson, Arnold Grundme ie r, and Fred Rice a ll were hampered, at least pa rt-time , by m ishaps. The ir final record stood a t one victory, one ti e , and six de feats. In th e ir first outing on September 15, 19 50, the Lynx were dow ned , 25-6, at Shenandoah on a rain-splattered fi e ld. A Wate rs-to -Schumann pass ne tted A . L. 's only TD. The next wee k an entire ly diffe rent-loo kin g team came back to surprise a highly-rated Omaha Tech e leven by holding them to a 6 - 6 draw.

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

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

As a form of tradition the club presents boutonnieres to the fathers of the football team, while the mothers of th e basketball squad receive corsages.

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

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

Five different style -choices all proved to be popular. Early in January President Burdick named the band, refreshment, decoration, ticket, arrangement, checkroom, invitation, and entertainment committees. These groups worked hard to make the Junior-Senior Prom on May 5 the highlight of the year. Besides the activities in which the whole class participat ed, the juniors were active in language clubs, student council, Red Cross Council, lite rary societies, and othe r eKtracurricular groups. These int2rests, however, did not interfere with junior sc holarsh:p, and an impressive list of junior names appeared on the honor roll every six wee ks. •' Junior:J FIRST ROW: Brunow, Archer, Boyd, Amato, Bird, Bloxom, S.

Miss Bess Hanigan Mr. Herbert Little Senior~ Membe rs of the Class of '51 have clon e muc h to brin;: honor and recognition to their school. As sophomores, they helped to originate the Student Council, which ha s become a very important fu nction at Abraham Lincoln. From the beginning they have taken part in all curricular and extracurricular activities, such as literary societies, plays, Hi-Y, Y-Teens, music, d ebate, Pe p C lub, The Echoes, and the Crimson and Blu:?. Se niors have done their share in building up A. L.'s reputat:on as a lead:ng contende r in the va rious fi e lds of sports- l:: a sketbal l, footl::a ll, wrestling, and track. During their final yea r, outstand ing m embers were elected to positions of football queen, D. A . R. representative, Pep C lub PinUp Boy, class officers, cadet officers, honorary officers, and senior committeemen. Busy senio r days reached the :r climax with the beautiful, earlymorning baccalaureate services and with the comme nce m e nt exercises, which were held at Kirn Fie ld for the first tim e in the history of the school. Enthusiasm and spirit ran high at the sen ior class ra lly w he n t he stude nts chose as t·he ir leaders John Me ye r, president, and Pe t e Fe ldt, v ice- p resident. The old tradition of exchanging senior p ictures is ca rried out by Norman Springe r, Robe rt Bostedt, Ma rl e ne Martin, Dick Davis, Nancy Gallagher, and Ann Beno as their senior year draws to a c lose. 88 13ARRY DEAN ABEL T enn is.

BS.3'771 3 Section Editors : Florence Everest Pat Roennau Carolyn Shehan 1(1 i-: The :r IO' ~ z AVENIJ E A River ..,.: BROADWAY VI ---'2. ~lD -j:. AVE. ::i:: ~ ICl' !/l ~ :r (/) ...... -- "' ~ (<") Th I/) A ' ! ) ) ~ ) " ~ ~ r r ( J $?r..ah ~ ?rd The Missouri River was first explored by Marquette and Joliet in 1673. Then, as now, the Big Muddy fol lowed no discernable rules as to when or where it would change its course. In the century following the Lewis and Clark expedition, the Missouri River became a carrier of commerce and led pioneers into the Rocky Mountains. It played an important part in opening the Northwest Territory, providing the only means of conveyance and giving profitable livelihood to rivermen. The f irst steamboat appeared on the 4 ) -- I.I' '"'4 ~-"' AVE . < ~ '\ V' ,)l river in 1819, and from 1830 to 1858 trade mushroomed. Navigation tqnnage reached its peak in 1880, before its el imination in competition with the new railroad system. Howeve r, the Mi ssouri River is once agai n an important carrier of trade; levees and the removal of sandbars ~acilitate nav igation as .far north as Sioux City, Iowa. Along its banks lie some of the most productive lands in the United States. Enormous possibilities still ex ist in the M issouri River as a source of v alu ab le hydroelectric power, besides water for irrigation . Serene and beautiful, the Missouri presents another face to its admirers as it curves south from between the bluffs. The Missouri, sometimes a menace, is more often a helper to the city. At the Narrows Pumping Station, it gives Council Bluffs its water supply, and by means of sanitary and storm sewers, it takes the wastes, purifies itself, and rolls along to be of service to the nex t rown. 5 Rivers, like people, have personalities. " Big Muddy" is a river of many conflicting moods, of whimsical notions, of irresolution and determination, of friendliness and hostility. In the latter mood, it has left its banks to even a score with human beings who try to meddle with its wanderings and confine it to a bed that it has no intention to lie in . Like a friend, the river can be a help or hindrance. The obstacle of water must be spanned by railroad and vehicular bridges to bind into a single productive metropolitan area Council Bluffs and Omaha. r ~~, ' . I The City Born in the wilderness of the past, Council Bluffs has emerged as a metropolis in the richest agricultural section of the state. Her life story is a composition of memorable history. A council held with Indians by . the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1 804 gave birth to her ultimate name. Trading posts, as early as 1823, established the city at this location. Among the f irst inhabitants were Mormon settlers, who, in 1845, started a village on the bluffs and called it Kanesville. In 1853, an act passed by the General Assembly of Iowa changed the name of this progressive town to Council Bluffs; and, in a short time, the first ci ty govern - ment was formed . Six years later Abraham Lincoln vis ited Counc il Bluffs and selected it as the terminus of the Urrion Pac ific Ra ilroad . Perhaps Lincoln had hopes then that someday he would be the leader of the country and could help develop this area into a great in - dustrial and railway center. More abundant resources and opportunities a re offered today than Lincoln could have foreseen, mak ing this a city of active, progressive people. And Council Bluffs will cont inue to progress if her past history is any indication of her future . Council Bluffs in Pictures On Page 6: Council Bluffs is proud of its many memorials, such as the " Black Angel" by the famous sculptor, Daniel Chester French, tn commemoration of Anne Dodge, wife of General Grenville M . Dodge. Another historical memorial is the old pioneer log cabin which now serves as a museum for the Pottawattamie County Historical Society ... Recreation areas help a city's well-being. Fairmount Park in the bluffs offers outstanding picnic facilities, playgrounds, and drives . .. Stately old homes,- like those pictured, combine with newer ones to make Council Bluffs a fine res idence city. ,,.,. ~ __ ... - - On Page 7: Important to Council Bluffs are her young people and their education. Ho.over School is one of several new buildings included in the school syste 's construction program . . . A city must work to live. Among the big breadwinners are the Union Pacific, symbolized here by its familiar bridge over the Missouri River, and the huge Griffin Car Wheel Company, th ird largest plant producing ra ilway car wheels in the United States . .. In the panoramic v iew are seen many of the varied elements that contribute to the success of ·Council Bluffs: homes, industries, railroad yards, rich farm lands, and grain elevators. I I COUNCIL BLUFFS BA TILES THE RIVER When the history of the Missouri's greatest flood is completed, the Council Bluffs chapter will certainly be one of the most heroic. For, when Council Bluffs citizens saw disaster coming on the April floodtide of the mighty river, they battled with every resource at their command to save their homes, their industries, their town. It was hard work, dirty, grueling, tense and desperate work as thousands of Southwest Iowa people, the army, the engineers, the utility companies, and the railroads all combined in a superhuman effort to meet the rolling 30.2 crest. No other effort in the history of Council Bluffs was more magn ificent. Courage and spirit of that caliber could not be denied; and it was not. The town won against the river! With people of such fiber, such courage, and such selfless devotion to a community task, Council Bluffs can look to the future with even greater confidence in her strength, unity, and purpose. Man Against the Missouri.-Broadway merchants as far east as Main Street sandbag their business houses against the menace of the river .. . Linemen prepare to string lights along the dikes to keep levee workers on a twenty-fourh our b · Flashboards, shown here in the building as1s . . . stage, save the city when the crest exceeds levee height ... The eastward movement, as trucks carry belongings of people from the danger areas ... Men wait their turn at city hall while the manpower pool makes assignments for leve e duty. 9 A. L. High School Helps Fight the Flood.-Hundreds of temporaril y homeless are housed in the Abraham Lincoln Hig h School gym .. . Disregarding the age rule for levee w orkers, A.

Lynx-men pause for coffee brought by mobile canteen; then it's back to the battle again. Unsung HeroesAnd Heroines On this page are pictured only a few of the many members of the student body and faculty who, devoid of fanfare and publicity, go far beyond the limits of duty in unselfishly helping to make A. L. a better school. Reading counterclockwise: Principal Theron Stuelke interrupts many a busy day to help advise students on everything from private problems to the selection of school subjects .. . In spite of the variety of demands on her, Miss Lucy Miller finds time to pass along her know-how to student librarians-such as Donna Dingman-who, in turn, give up some of their study periods to help serve the school . . . Mr. Walter Kaltenborn and his student projectionists, here represented by Ray Dawson, devote much of their own time to make possible the showing of educational films for classes . .. Larry Knotek knows how willingly and often Mrs. Viola Bichel gives individual assistance to her music students .. . Mr. Nels Johnson's day is filled with countless little "ex tras" that are not part of his pa id job but are part of his thoughtfulness in making the school run more smoothly .. . A special commendation should go to hard-working sponsors like Mrs. Agnes White and con scientious students like Harold Miller and Sue Olsen in " seeing through" the numerous projects of the Jun ior Red Cross. IO ADMINISTRATION 11 Section Editors: Sue Olsen Karen Remde _J SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS Russel J. Mourer BOARD OF EDUCATION Harry C. Voss C. Francis Putnam Dr. Russell Blanchard John A. Jungquist "April, 1952, is a date that A.L. students and faculty members wi ll never forget. Rapidly-melting snows in the Dakotas and near-by northern states sent the Missouri River on a rampage. Men and equipment were mobilized, and U. S. Army troops were ca lled to Council Bluffs. It was necessa ry to use A. L. to house troops, the gym to house evacuees, and Kirn Field to house trailers from evacuated areas. "Many A. L. boys worked 'round the clock' on levees, fill ing sand bags and doing other important jobs. A. L. girls worked in canteens, supervised the play of evacuee children, and did. many other useful tasks. A. L. teachers worked in similar jobs, acted as traffic control officers, a rea wardens, and did general patrol duty. "We are proud of both students and teachers in their combined e ffort to he lp save our city." Theron R. Stuelke Principal 12 Charles W. Langmade James H. Ross Dr. Kenneth G. Wal ke r Lester E.

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

SENIORS The graduation exercises held on June 2 cl imaxed four eventful years in the lives of A. L. sen iors. Cherished memories of school activities- such as drama, music, athletics, debate, organ izations, social events, and academic work-will never leave the class of 1953. Countless honors have made th is class an outstanding one in all phases of school life at Abraham Lincoln. Janice McAlexander is aided by the photographer in her pose for senior pictures. Pl anning for their future education are seniors Shirley Jackson, Jim Stue lke, Beverly Healey, and Jerry Lawson.

Last-minute kinks keyed-up team in before a game . are worked out signal drill the by a night Highlight of the season is the trip to Shenandoah, which is enjoyed by each squad member. J ack Th omsen and Howard Everso n sma sh a ho1 e w hich Jim Boham slips throu g h fo r a co nsiderable gain . 100 Restricred pre-season practice becaus·e of the polio situation, a green line, and "fumble-itis" combined to plague the Lynx in their first two unsuccessful games, those with Shenandoah and Omaha Tech on September 12 and 19 respectively. The Hilltoppers, however, were able to throw off the jinx and hit "pay-dirt" three times against their crosstown rival, Thomas Jefferson. Boham, Cheyne, and Rapalje were stand-outs in this rugged 21-20 victory. The four games with Cathedral, Dowling, Central , and Creighton returned the Lynx to the red-ink side of the ledger, but A. L. fans didn't lack excitement. Great ball-toting by Boham in the Cathedral game, Thomsen in the Dowling game, and Dunlop in the Central game combined to make each encounter a thriller. Stapleton, Messerli, Hodge, and Stuelke shouldered their defensive tasks especially well. Finally hitting the winning column again, the Lynx crew downed Corning, 13-0. A wellbalanced offense and defense completely baffled he Red Raiders. In their finale with Benson on November 8, A . L. dominated the first half, thanks to excellent running by Goodman and Gallagher and blocking by Everson and Sorensen . The picture reversed itself after intermission w ith the Bunnies storming back to crush any Lynx hopes. Tfie season ended with two wins and seven losses. Although Abraham Lincoln footballers fa i led to match · the 1951 eight-one record, a fierce fighting spirit was displayed in each game. 101 Coach Victor P.

What was thought to be a tough season started well for the Lynx as they rolled to an impressive victory over Missouri Valley, 51-24, on- November 14. In their second, third, fourth, and fifth contests, they continued the wins, trouncing Villisca 61-32, a tall Glenwood five 56-46, Iowa School for the Deaf 67-53, and Cathedral 79-29.

The tota l sum of 139 broke the Inter-City record for the most points made in a game by both te ams. Before a packe d gym, A. L. dropped a 58-55 thriller to Manning, stopped by Manning's second-half rally. In a second win over T.

Swimming , tenn is, baseball, basketba ll, hockey, bowling, and others are all taught in Mrs. Mansfield's g y m classes. For those not athletically incl ined, a course in dancing is offered. All in all, A. L. has for its girls a well-rounded sports progra m unde r the excellent guidance of Mrs. Cleola Mansfield. The Girls' Physical Education Depart m ent of A.L., under the direction of Mrs. Cleola Mansfield , offers a wide variety of sports for the ath leticallym inded girl of today. In swim class, girls practice a basic stroke in preparation for more difficult ones . .. Field hockey is strenuous and good exercise, but one cou ld never tell b y the team's rel axed pose . . . For a q uieter game, golf is a good choice. Barbara Frankel , Karen Remd e, and Kathleen Gra hl are learn ing the mechanics of a sport played in nearly every commun ity for fun and competition . . . On rainy day s, altho ugh that is not a requi site, bowling is fi ne exercise indoors. Suzanne Fischer practices to find the secret of mak ing a " strike." 114 .)

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

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

Se cond Te a ch Coach Thomas Capel -- Varsity Basketball What was said to be the toughest basketball schedule the Lynx have faced for years began with a 54-40 conquest over an experienced Iowa School for the Deaf team. Mark Thompson led the way with 25 points. The next week, Art Grell's last-minute basket and free-throw squeezed a neversay-die Lynx squad past Glenwood, 64-63. A. L. then sent Villisca home on the short end of a 43-28 score, sneaked by a strong Alumni crew, 51-48, and deflated Thomas Jefferson's spirits to the tune of 65-45. Thompson headed the scoring column in all of these games. Continuing on their victory march, the Lynx hoopsters walked by Creighton Prep, 43-36, aided by the clutch playing of Dick Gilman, and they followed this with a 55-47 win over Benson. A. L. fans relived the Glenwood contest as Tech fell 39-38, but then breathed easily as the Lynx raced past the Boys Town Cowboys, 60-36, as Thompson and Grell showed excellent form in their respective jobs of scoring and rebounding. In the next four games, the Lynx added more scalps to their growing collection. Onawa gave in, 63-47, as "marksman Mark" had his best night of the season with 30 points. Central fell victim by 64-50 as little Bill Cambron and Roger Berg showed their scoring abilities. North found themselves on the short end of a 39-33 score, and South was greeted with a 64-46 defeat. In the South game, rapidly-improving Jack Chapman filled the shoes of Mark Thompson, who had received an ankle injury in the North game, by dropping in 19 points. In the inauguratior:i of the new Thomas Jefferson fieldhouse, the Lynx played their role of guest poorly by defeating the Jeffs 45-39. History books were rewritten as the A. L. cagers made it 14 straight wins with a 48-44 victory over a strong Creighton crew. The old record was 13, set up by last year's team. Benson, playing terrific ball, stopped the Lynx streak at 14 by an impressive score of 60-45.

L. players' mothers, who were honored at this game. A. L. then set a new inter-city scoring mark by trouncing Central, 86-48, the old record being 83, set by last year's crew Dave Goecker and Thompson shared scoring honors with 24 points apiece. A. L. survived a late North threat, 44-41, as Gre.11 and Cambron potted the clutch points. T. J., for the third time this season, surrendered to the Lynx in a 49-47 thriller as Berg and Gilman provided the needed points in the final minute. This district championship game let A. L. move on to the sub-state tournament. For the second time in as many years, the Lynx reigned as inter-city champions by smashing South, 69-39, as Cambron scorched the nets for 22 points, followed closely by Thompson's 20. A. L. went into sub-state competition with a 19-1 record, the best that any of Coach Thurman Johnson's teams have ever achieved. The Lynx, boosted by Mark Thompson's 19 points, defeated Sioux City Heelan in their first sub-state game. This 62-56 triumph brought A. L. within one game of a return trip to Iowa City.

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

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

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

Since that time, this society has become one of the most active in school. The purpose of the organization is to provide recognition for those who have done outstanding work in dramatic productions. Two initiations are held a nnua lly for students who have earned enough points to q ualify for installation. The points awarded are set by the national chapter. Annually the troop offers an award to the most outstanding actor and actress at Abraham Lincoln High School. 71 Officers President ------------------- Bill Ballenge r Vice-Preside nt ___ - ----- -------- Tom Bolton Secretory ------ -------·- - --- Don Danford Trea surer ------ -------------- Terry Jasper Sponsor ___ _______ __ ____ Mr. Horry Lang don Featurette The Art Department A.L. students take the first step in the art of lithography and draw a picture on stone. These beginners learn the inking procedure. A hand-press completes the lithe· graph ic process. Abraham Lincoln High School's art department, under the direction of Miss Berniece Poh I, offers a variety of interesting and attractive courses. One of the newest is lithography, a process requiring a great deal of skill on the part of the student. There are three major steps, accordiAg to Miss Pohl. The first, that of putting a design on stone with a lithographic crayon, is novel enough to appeal instantly to teen-agers. Once the picture is drawn, it is treated with various '· ., substances, washed, and sponged. The next step is that of inking with a rol ler, the ink clinging to greasy deposits made by the crayon. The final step is to run the inked stone with dampened paper through a hand-press, a method which demands intricate timing and precision. When the printing is through, the studentartist is the proud possessor of a beautiful picture and a new and satisfying hobby. Lynx stude nts admire the results of on old a rt tha t is new and fascinating to the m.

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

Directed by M iss Elaine Sorensen, this group is composed of only the better of more than seventyfive A.L. instrumentalists. Since the musical selections are usually of a classical nature, they demand of the student both skill and dexterity.

Dove Taylor, John Winch este r, and Virgil Watson check out clothing supplies from M/ Sgt. Liiiey. Winter Program During three yea rs of cadet life, the R.O.T.C. boy at A. L. participates in a varied program that includes weapons, marksmanship, map reading, and many other subjects in addition to drill and marching. If the cadet w ishes to put in extra time and can qualify, activities such as color guard, rifle squad, and the new honor platoon are open to him.

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

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

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

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

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

FRESHMAN CLASS OF 1957 Favorite subj ect of many freshman boys is agriculture. Working here on a disk in the "ag shop," young frosh learn one of the tasks of farming. With its goal as " the biggest and best" ever to enter A. L., the freshman class quickly assumed its responsibilities in the school's program. These included taking an active part in the magazine sale, helping to put over the Junior Red Cross membership drive, and contributing generously in work and food to the Christmas basket distribution. Nor did the freshmen lag in class work, for " to be the best" meant acquiring a good solid foundation in the academic subjects. 57 First row: Bell, Allensworth, Ballantyne, Campbell, Adkins, J anet Busboom, Jean Busboom, Ambrose.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Scholarship, leadership, citizenship, and service are the re"iuisites for membership in the National Honor Society. l'.!1ew members, which include the upper fifteen per cent of the seniors and the upper five per cent of the juniors, are announced at an assembly in March. Other members, formerly chosen on the same percentage basis, take part in the assembly by explaining the meaning of the four requirements, as well as the symbols of the club-the arch, the keystone, and the torch. The society has no regular projects or activities, but its members participate effectively in other organizations. "I can show it to my grandchildren," jokes Sharon Larson, left, to Donna Francis as they examine a National H onor Society pin.

STUDENT LIBRARIANS "Do you have any information on Chaucer?" "How much do I owe on this book?" These are only two of the many questions asked student librarians during the course of the day. These girls volunteer to help in the library one to three periods a week, signing passes, checking books in and out, collecting fines, shelving books, and fin ding reference material.

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

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