MR. DUNLAVY Sponsor. Se vt-n Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1942 We, the Closs of 1942, of the High School of Underwood, ha ving come to the end of our long life in a peaceful ond undisturbed state of, what we hove always been pleased to coll,our mind, in accordance with the lows of this state, do he reby give and be - quea th a nd devise oil our wordly goods and possessions with oil the a ppurte nances and hereditoments the re - unto belonging, a s seemeth wise and fitting in our judgment, without toking advice or counsel from a nyone, and without being influenced in the least by post fa vors or disfa vors, post kindness or unkindness. We may soy that in ma king these bequests we hove been said to possess in a remarkable degree, common se nse . ITEM I. To the Boord of Ed ucation, oil our power of seeing through a stone wa ll, tha t powe r which, in time post, hos mode our course in life so spectacular, a nd the lock of which hos broug ht our career to on ignominious failure . Our legacy to the Boord of Education, the power of seeing through a stone wall, is given in order to sa ve the legatee from future serious disa ste r, and because it is evident that said legatee is expected by the community a t Jo rge to possess this g reat gift. ITEM 11 . To the faculty of the Underwood High School we give and bequea th and devise oil our visions, 0'1 1 in good and unha mpered condition. By this gift they will be enabled to depict the future of all the girls a nd boys unde r the ir charge, and so wisely to arrange their lives from da y to day. By the use of this gift, we know they will ovoid o il mista kes to which oil ordina ry members of the human fami ly ore subject. ITEM Ill To the Juniors we give and bequeath o il our castles in Spain, to be inhabited by them free of charge, a s long a s these castles exist in a li vable condition. P. S.

Aforesaid legatees must assume oil duties responsibilities a nd adventures, e ntire ly at the ir w~ peril, a nd wi thout any hope of indemnity from any other human be ing whatever. ITEM JV. For the Sophomores, a las, we hove nothing to offer tha t would seem of va lue to them. Wha t could we leave them? The class tha t hos eve rything.

Middleton Principal SENIOR CLASS OF 1942 Edwin Talbott President The foregoing instrument was signed by the Class of 1942 in our presence and by them published and declared as and for their LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT and at their req uest and in their presence and in the presence of each other, we hereunto subscribe our hands this day and year. Nine A Trip to Heaven (A Closs Prophecy for Closs of 1942) S-s-s--, boom, tinkle. And I felt myself being hurled rapid! through space. I should hove known better than to appear in Miss Graber's English class without my assignment reod.y. I tried to catch hold of a cloud as I went by. Then I clutched at the moon, the planet Mercury, and the Milky Woy, but without avail. On I sped into Eternity. Then I stood before the Golden Gate . Saint Peter began to ask me questions a bout my innumerable post sins but any one with expe rience in giving excuses for things undone at Underwood High School has nothing to fear from a mere Saint I hod no trouble at all in persuading the old gentleman that I was more of a saint than he was, although Miss Olden and Mr. Dunlavy would quickly hove seen through my line of explanations. Saint Peter handed mo a slide trombone, explaining that they were all out of harps in Heaven, swung open the Golden Gate and there I was in Paradise . The first matter that caught my attention was a number of little cherubs se lling newspapers. I listened to the ir cries and this is what I heard : "Extra! Principal of Underwood High School is very sick! Grieving over loss of brightest boy in senior cla ss!" About this time I began to sprout wings, but I was aroused from this discovery by anothe r cry. "Extra! Extra! Principal Middleton hos died and gone to Heaven!" So I returned to the Golden Gate and stood on hour waiting . But nobody showed up. Finally there was on increase of shouting from the heavenly newsboys. "Extra! Extra! Principal Middleton does not show up at Heaven ." Wondering about Heaven several hours later I come upon a lot of angels looking through telescopes, and having a grand time laughing at what they sow. I procured a telescope, adjusted it, and there before my vision was the good earth, the town of Underwood and all my friends of Underwood High School. The sight was a little blurred so I twisted the adjustments, and beho ld there was the earth again in the year of 1970. W ell, well, I thought, here is a chance to see what my old friends ore up to. Usi ng my new immortal power, I ordered my telescope to focus itself. Sure enough, across the Atlantic it went. Across Ital y, Greece, and into Turkey. The City of Constantinople loomed up before my gaze, the palace of the Sulton . Yes, here was the inner Court of the Sul ton's harem-and-soy! Could it possibly be true . Sitting in majesty upon a throne, receiving the plaudits of the other ladies of the harem was none other than our own Donna Herrill. "Great work, ol d telescope," I said. " Now show me some of the other girls." It hesitated and wavered for a moment, then bock it streaked to the old home town ond up to a house with o sign in front of it "Old Ladies Home," and the re, sitting comfortably in the front room ploying checkers were Verle Herrick and Mary Killion, ond Betty Anderson wa s sitting watching them ove r her knitting. Poor girls, I always thought they hod better things in store for them than this. But on rushed my te lescope . North we scurried over Canada, and up to cold frigid Alaska. Here we Ten stopped before on Esk imo Igloo. The father of the family was away but ploying around the Igloo entrance were fourteen little Esk imo children. I soy Eskimo children yet they hod a look about them that was familiar. And almost at once I knew why, for there issued from the e ntrance the mother, considerably more plump than when I knew her lost, but sti ll the some old Pat Kenealy. She always hod to be at the top o f everything and here she was at lo st " sitt ing on top of the world." My telescope was impati en t so I let it go on. Bock to New York City, and right into a ladi es' athl etic club. Before I could halt it we were inside the Turk ish both. There, with only their heads protruding from the tops of steam boxes, each with three chins but reconizobl e yet were Maxine Dose and Maxine Ellis. Just as I thought I I knew when I was bock home that if those two girls didn't stop getting so much candy from their various boy fri ends they would e nd up like this. And then my te lescope took a short swing . He re we were at the Fo lli es, my how those gi rls could dance ! And right in the middle of the line, stepping o s peppy as any o f the rest of them, were Doralee Klopping and Rosemary Osborn. Those gi rls must be nearly fifty yea rs o ld by this time but you wouldn ' t know it to see them. Make-up con do marvelous things in cove ring a girl's age! And then right boc k to Underwood High School. How natural it looked. Nothing seemed changed o bit. But who do you suppose was scrubbing the corridor floors wearing a cop label ed Assistant Joni tress! It was N~rma Benson. You'd wonder pe rhaps how she would make use o f her store of Geome try and Algebra on a job like this. Neverthel ess, he re she was. We often wonder what happened to Virginia Hemmingson. My te lescope turned to Russia where she is doing post-war nursing. I then focused my te lescope on one o f Virginia 's best friend s, Shirley Ballard who is to be noted o s one of Hollywood's best hoir stylists and make up artists. All th rs time I was wondering whot hod become o f the boys of the class, but even on immortal telescope cou ld not reveal to me more than one scene at a time. Now I hod to restrain myself no longer. Off we went. Chicago wos our first stop. The build ing which e ntered our vision was ve ry modern and prosperous look.ing.. Over the main entrance hung a sign. "Orgoniz~d Rockets of Ame rica. " The telescope pi e rced t ~ building, showed me t~,e general o ffi ce and p~us~­ before a door marked, Special Deportment for ,, oo A ing Children's Ban ks, Ed Nelson, Chi e f oote,~; littl e cord hanging from the door now sa id, Away on firm business." Wi thout waiting any longer I ordered my ro phecyii~? te lescope to be on its way . He re 1s what we faun It Rov Handke driving a ga rbage coll ecting tru ~k . If _ must have bee n his Scotch ancestry showing 1tse getting something for nothing. Playing in a Salvation 1, Army Band, we found John Costor. His better nature overcame him in the end. President of the clerk Republic of Santa Domingo, we discovered to be Horold Esington, sitting in a palace surrounded by machine guns. Harold always said he would be president some day. Lastly we came to Ed Tolbott, manager of Gun-boat Flynn, the contender far the heavyweight championship of the United States. Leave it to Ed to be around if there was going to be a fight! With this my telescope turned to the main office of the Treasury building where we find Merle Russell stumbling over one of his old school favorites-a ten column working sheet. The next twist was to Madison Square Garden where whom should we find to our amazement but Bill Huneke, All Star hockey player. His school basketball proved to be very helpful in his hockey playing. The next stop on the class of 1942 we find the happiest couple in the world D. L. Lowden and Zella Mathias. It seems they were married after graduation. D. L. joined the navy, Zella fallowed him to South America where they live in a bamboo hut with their large family of sunburned children. The last stop was at the Stork Club in Hollywood. There we find Bob Hansen leading his famous dance band and doing quite a bit of trombone soloing him- self. And then my alarm clock rang. Alarm cloc k in Heaven! Certainly not. I awoke groggily and looked at the clock. Five thirty in the morning . I loo ked at the calendar, April 30, 1942. Oh yes! I had set the alarm in order to wake up in time to write that theme for Miss Graber's Engl ish class. My trip to Heaven was all a dream. Perhaps my classmates aren't going to wind up in harems, igloos, rackets, and garbage collecting. Who knows?

"Independent Cusses" Speeding back to Underwood, the new capital of Iowa, for a reunion of the class of 1944 , I began to think of the ambitions of the old 1944 class of U.H.S. As I entered the suburbs of the great city of 1,000,000 population, I was almost knocked out of the seat of my new e lectro hyd ro-mobile, for on a large sign by a huge factory were these words, "Bryce Julius and Herbert McMullen, Soop Manufacture rs." Soon a fte r I, recovered from that experience I was almost run ove r by a large de live ry tru'ck that came roari ng down Sunnyside Avenue. Whe n, I finally over took it and forced it to stop I got out to give the driver a piece of my mind, and you con imagine my surprise .when I found out it was none other than De lores Schneckloth. After a short talk I learned she married Art Christofferson who was ke pt busy raisi ng nine children and running a day nursery. After stopping for lunch at a large resta.urant run by the billionaire , Kent Nie lsen, I proceeded to d rive along the Avenue; when I noticed I was almost out of gas. I pulled up to the nearest gas station and whom should I see but Ardis Carlsen coming out of the station. Ente ring the El ite po rt of town, I couldn't be lieve my eyes when I saw Co rl Schorsch ta king Mrs. Van Uppe rbuilt's dog for its doily wa lk ! Mrs. Von Upperbui lt (the forme r Esthe r Hessel) was just completi n'g a world tour wi th the Unde rwood Ope ra Company run by none othe r than Emil Christians. Turning t he corner of 45th and Lone Street, I stopped a t a little white house with a sign by the door sa yi ng " Fortunes Read." Upon entering I was confronted by Bruce Ba rnet and led Madam Zoola's room. Was I surprised to see tha t Madam Zoolo wa s none othe r than Monnie Schmaedecke. As I come out of the house I was met by Duane W e lbou rne who was working his wa y through college by se lli ng magazines. Good sa les ta lk forced me to take a subscription, but I hu rried a way before he could get me to buy another one. Upon visiti ng the office of Wayne Rodenburg, M.D., I wa s met by his secretory, Betty Ann Pete rsen, who told me Dr. Rodenburg was busy performi ng on operation at the Merc iful Hospital. On leaving the office I noticed a fruit stand and wal k _ ed over to get o n a pple, a nd to my surprise, I found Phyllis Wanvi k running that stand. It wa s the busiest corne r in that po rt of town. As I was getting into my ca r, I noticed Jack Stageman and Edna Moe Dose wa lking down the street together. Afte r g radua ting, Jock joined the Marines, and Edna Mae followed him all ove r the country. The a fte rnoon was so warm I decided to toke a wa lk. I happened to look up a t a la rge building , and it wa s not the buildi ng that I saw which made me stop to look twice, but the sign ove r the door which read, " Dudley Ge ise- Undertaker." I was walking bock to my car when I noticed Betty and Bonny Herrick closing up the ir beauty pa rlor. Ten As I talked to them about their business, I learned that they we re going home to see Darlene Hawthorne, who had married a rich man and was now a ssocia ted with the upper crust of society. I started off in my car when a policeman stopped me to give me a ticket for parking in front of a fire plug. Of all people, I d id not expect Orvan Peterson to become a policeman ! I stopped by to see Lauren McBride and Eldon Christensen. They had gone W est ofte r g raduation and hod struck oil in a lonely spot in Oklahoma . They we re now in full control of all oi l pipelines west of the Mississippi Rive r. Marjorie Jensen had mode good a s a hostess o.n . the New Yo rk - Unde rwood Transcontinental Airlines a nd had just landed a t Underwood whe n I visited the airfield. She and Frank Hovey never had .gotte n married because Marjorie wanted to be in the 01 1n es. Betty Nie lsen had been busy all da y in the office of the F. B. I., which hos been moved from W a shington to Unde rwood. As I d rove a long a beautiful garden which wa s owned by Madam Be tty Schorsch, who soon afte r ro d~ot ~ from good old U.H.S .. had come into possession of riches by winning the l 945 sweepsta kes. . n~a and Ke nneth Armstrong we re employed as chief ma id a nd butle r of the large mansion. Then a's I started to hunt up the facu lty of the cla ss of '44 I occ idently ha ppe ned upon M r. Dunla vy, who w~s taking his daily wal k. Afte r seve ra l years a s supe rinte ndent of U. H. S., he had retired and is now living out his life quie tly in a house near the Unive rsity of Unde rwood. He informed m: tha t Alvi na Larson was Professo r of Comme rce in the University. Miss Grubb is the hea d tea che r of Eng lish and Drama - tics at U.H.S. , and it looks a s if she is making good a t it. Miss Dobrovolny won some money from the Pot 0 Gold Program a nd is sponsori ng the Lone Ranger Progra m on Radio Station UHS. . On driving post the City Pa rk, I noticed Mrs. Butl e r a nd Mrs. Mulvihill tal king over old times a cross a park bench. Miss Taylor quit her job a s a teache r in U. H. S. a nd opened an ice cream counte r in a drug sto re on Ma in Street alongside the old schoolhouse. . Just a s the sun. wa s going down ove r the la rge c ity of Underwood I stopped my car in front of the school. Whe n I nt in I found the Class of ' 44 and t.he Fa culty already busy ta lking over old times a nd d is- cussing the ir progress si nce the ir old school days. Eve ryone seems to ha ve a ccompl ished h is desires since he le ft old U.H.S. . bod Afte r on eveni ng of talking togethe r again, every Y le ft to begi n whe re they had le ft off. Everybody has made a success of himself, so I g uess the re is nothi ng le ft for me to worry about. The refore , I sha ll leave this la rge c ity and its inhabita nts to a happy future.

Twenty-five We're Off Again "I got up at five, when did you?" " Got 'chur ticket yet?" " I haven't either," and another Senior skip day was :in the way. Our transportation to Lincoln, Nebraska, consisted of a bus resurrected from the late twenties. The ride to Lincoln was uneventful but interesting. Upon ou~ arrival at Lincoln we checked same things at the bus station and then went to tour the, Nebraska State Capitol Building. Mr. Knapp, the guide, gave an interesting talk both before and after lunch on the building and its materials. · We all agreed we wouldn't mind spendi ng the whole day there. But, ah me! One day doesn't allow much time for loitering. And since the newspaper was next on our list of ·"musts" we proceeded to inspect it at about l :30. The Police Department and Fire Department were next on our list and were really worth the time. Nebraska Unive rsity grounds are very nice tao-as some certain persons will agree-eh? After a day of surprises for service men-a soldier in particular probably thought we were some lunaticswonderful sights at the capitol, astounding statistics :ibout newspapers and other things in general, we embarked from Lincoln at about 6: 1 5 in another irregular bus. A general good time was being had when the bus got to Omaha at 8: 1 7. Afte r a stage show at the Orpheum Theatre, where it was necessary to use binoculars to see the performance- we had to sit so for up- we come home and I con pe rsonally testify that we all slept very we ll except for maybe a nightmare or two due to those Jost steaks. junior-Senior Banquet On May l 0 , 1944, the Juniors entertained the Seniors at a Hawaiian style banquet in the High School gymMount Mauna Loa Island of the Sea Trade Wind Salad Heavenly Breeze Java nasium at 7 o'clock.

"Willi e," being short and fast was on aggresive player in eve ry game. His one- handed specia lty shot pulled many games out of the fire . ARTHUR CHRISTOFFERSEN- Forward . "Art's" red hair gave him that old fighting spirit that is needed in every basketball game . DUDLEY GEISE- Cente r. " Dud's" 6' 3" gave him the ab ility to capture many rebounds. His onehanded push shot from out front made the score Thirty add up. WAYNE RODENBURG- Guard. " Porky," u cool and heady player he ld down his first teum g ua rd posi tion with his ste ll ar he ig ht and great de fensive playing. JACK FOX- Guard . " Jack," anothe r fa st and scrappy playe r, was in the midst of every pil e-up unde r the basket. Due to his defensive play ing ma ny an opponet's score was held down. 'J I WHO'S WHO (Continued) GENE RODENBURG- Guard . "Gene," a tall and husky guard, was also a very goad player an defense and long shots. ELDON CHRISTENSEN-Forward.

"Bob," a promising Sophomore, shows a great possibility as next year's center. DALE GEISE.

And So On Our boss at the Underwood Times had sent us out· ta find what had happened to the Class af '45. As we left the newspaper building, we saw the n~e wood Sporting Coliseum an our left. Upon entering, we saw a familiar figure trotting around the gym. We inquired a s ta wham this elegant person could be a nd were informed that it was Roy "The Whi:z::z:er'' Gage, the fastest human who ever lived, outside of Superman. A more ur:believable sight was that of "Murderous Mary Hedegard" and her midget manager, Don Kenney. Mary is known from coast to coast a s the Cham- pion Lady Wrestler. Don is supposed to manage he r, but we have our doubts about that. On ou r way fa the hote l, we dropped into the local o ffice of Esquire , Inc. For no particular reason, we walked into the private office of the ed itor. Imag ine our surprise to find Gene Rodenburg seated behind the huge desk. He was surrounded by five ravishing Varga girls. They were Mory Ballard, Bernice Christ'ionsen, Beverly HemmingS'en, Leno chorsch, and Darlene Suntken•. Their director, Bill Casson, was a 1:.a p resent. We were informed by him that the world's foremost mode l was due to arrive in Underwood a t 8: I 5 on an Eastbound plane from Hollywood. W e reached the a irport just in time to see her i:;ress a gent, D. D. Dunlavy, (who also coaches her in dramatics in his spare time ) arrive. He was closely fa llowed by that curveo s beauty who is known a s "The Girl W e Would Like To Be Ma rooned With On A Desert Island." She was given this title by the Thi rd Ne gro Division of the Eighth Army. This beauty was none othe r than He lena Wurt:z:. Returning to our hotel, wh ich incidentally, is owned and managed by our old pal. Delrie Berg and his charming wife, the former Pat McDonald, we zoomed up to our penthouse in a new e levator. This e levator which trave ls at a speed of 1 mile per hou r (a ccident proof) was bui lt by the ingenious Paul Hessel, who is happi ly ma rried to Audrey Thomas. We entered an apa rtment. which we thought was ou rs, and were surprised to find it occupied by 1 0 spoiled children. They informed us that they we re the 10 little Foxes. The former Ramona Coldwell is now Mrs. Jack Fox. Jack is a very successful ga rbage collector. Across the street from our window, embla zened in yellow and red Neon lights. was the name of Wesley "Th~ Swooner" Mortensen, who is now starring in "One Mad Night" in the Unde rwood Grand Ole Opry. Having decided to attend the evening performa nce , we arrived early and found two old maids busy on their hands and knees scrubbing the stage. Upon inqui ring, we found that they were Mary Meyer a nd Rhoda Iversen. Whi le waiting fa r the performonce to begin, we saw the former Miss Eli:z:obeth Schnell enter with her husband, Van Johnson. She had come to view her star pupil, Wesley. T rue to form, Wesley gave us our money's worth. On our way home from the performa nce . we passed a g;gantic building. A neat sign informed us that it was "Taylor's Tasteless Pickle Compa ny." Farther dawn the street. we stumbled over a pile of rubbish which an old bearded man was scooping up. On his CQrt it said, "Merne Rohlfs, Streetcleaner and Dog Catche r Inc." From him we learned thot Arlene Mognussen end Kenny Ch ristionsen reside on a 6 00 acre fa rm near Neola . Merne seemed positive that the farm was complete ly enclosed by a six foot fence. W e supposed this is to keep the kids in and the rabbits out. On every building in town were advertisements reading, " Let Johnson Be Your Cleaners-We Wash Your Pants While You Wait." Th'is myste rious Johnson turned out to be Norma Jean Johnson, who is taking in laundry for a living. Hard work seems to be ruini ng her forme r youthful figure . In the yard of our hote l, we found a little tree which had pneumonia. We notified a tree surgeon ot once, and in three seconds a red and white truck came roaring down the left side of the street. The driver was Mrs. Mulvihill who had left U. H. S. and is now a n ed tree surgeon. From Mrs. Mulvih ill we learned that Don Talbott is McClel land's most successful bachelor a nd that Clara Joyce Nielsen is doing a fine job of keeping house fo r him. We decided to pay them a visit and caught the Limited Express out of town. On the tra in we chanced to look out the window and down below. wi th a mouthful of cinde rs between his false teeth, was "Baysinger, the Bum." Late r we learned that discouragement over love a ffa irs ha d caused Loren's downfall. Incidentally three mbers of the class of 1945, have formed a Lonely Hearts Club in a vain effort to trap a man. Up to this time they have enjoyed little success. These three charming young women with matrimony in their minds are Alice Casson, Rosemary Fischer, end last, al ~o least. Donna Sinkey. The last one on our list was Miss G~ubb. W e lea rned that she is acting in a radio serial entitled " Life With Mother," sponsoreGJ by Razzle Dazzle Dog Biscuit Company. With this we leave the faculty a nd c lass of '45 ta conti nued success in the ir chosen professions. It's time for us to begin the d ifficult task of selecting our own career.

Twenty-four Lincoln Bound " Are we going or aren' t we?" That was the main question to be onswered as the Seniors qothered at the schoolhouse early on the morning of April 11 . A little rain couldn't stop us. so off we went. We boarded a streamlined bus in Omaha at 8 o'clock. At the lost minute we were wondering if all would make it. Mory Hedegord and Audrey Thomas were left but Mory joined the c rowd" 2 hours late r in Lin~ ln . From the bus station we went to the Nebraska State Capito l Build ing and visited the Legislature wh ile in session and the Governor's office. · The Schne ll residence was our next stop. Yes. it was dinner time and we were served a ve ry delicious, cafeteria uncheon- ofter which we relaxed for a few minutes. During the afternoon we visited the University of Nebraska. the Fire a nd Police Depo rtme nts. the city jail and wonder of wonders-the Don Love Memorial L'brory just jam pocked with soldie rs!!!

Most of the class took in a movie in Omaha before motorir.g home. Homecoming Once a ga in the Underwood School we lcomed the a lumni bock with the annual homecoming event.

Other activities of the cabinet were Courtesy Week Campaign, locker inspection, rules for correct use of the l'brary, and a St. Patrick's Day party which was given March 14 with the former student cabinet members as guests.

Twenty-nine Prophecy "Red Letter Day In Underwood" Speeding into the same old depot in Underwood, we heard a band playing and saw the thousands that were gathered there. We wondered what all the exitement was about and soon found out "Swooner Boy" (Norman Larsen) was aboard this train. As he stepped from the train he was cheered; swinging the baton and directing the band was Charles Christiansen, who was very much out of breath. The "Swooney Fan Club" was there screaming and hollering. The exitement was too great for the president of the "Swooneys", Anita Kenealy, and as Swooner Boy brushed against her she passed out in a dead faint. The ambulance was summoned and -as-it came to an abrupt jerk and stop, we found the driver was none other than Irma Geise. Puffing and panting was the nervous little doctor, Jack Johnson. We then got into our station wagon and were speeding down Main street when we were stopped by a shrill blow of a whistle. To our amazement there stood Mr. Knowlton on a stand in the middle of t he street. We were told he was Underwood's most promising traffic cop. He told us to report to court immediately so on the way we hired a lawyer, Chester Kennedy, whom we thought would get us out of this jam. At court, we saw a most stately looki1:1g judge and as we got closer to him we discovered it was none other than Elmer Goldapp. He had no pity and fined us five dollars. We once again stepped out into the street and deciding to walk, we strolled down ~o the. corner. There we saw a newsboy shoutmg. with. all his might about important happenings m this busy nation. The newsboy was, to our amazement, Ernie Yochem. . We finally caught what Ernie was shoutmg and found out that t he United States Senate had just confirmed the appointm ent of ~r. Nielsen as Secretary of Agriculture in President Ruth Larsen's Cabinet. Miss Larsen was also president of the President's Club. Crossing the street, we ran and dodged to get away from an oncoming street car. As it passed, we noticed t hat Jean Marie Johnsen was at the controls and what a wicked driver!! Taking tickets was Darrell Whittington who was a lso trying unsucessfully to quiet' Mrs. Kennedy's (formerly Alice Thiel) kids. Getting slightly hungry, we started huntThirty ing for an eating place. A huge sign which said "Eat and Die" attracted our attention. We walked in and learned that this place was owned by Miss Gregerson. Sitting in a corner was Charles Prewitt arguing with the waitress, Margie Downs, about the price of the food. Suddenly we heard a loud crash and saw the bouncer, Marie Lou Casson, tossing Chuck out of the door. After satisfying our hunger, we left and were strolling up the street when we saw a bundle of books, ropes, leather goods, a nd axes coming down the street. We mig ht have known that Miss Grubb was under a ll this. Seems that she never got her fill of mountain climbing. We learned from her that Lois Mathias was drawing cartoons for Little Abner comics. Her specialty is Lena the Hyena. Since I had chipped a tooth while eating dinner, I was tempted to go to the dentist. Upon arriving at the office we were greeted by a nurse. Eileen Lake, and she told us that the dentist Dr. Franklin Geiger, was busy. While waiting, Mr. Doller came into t he office and asked if his n ew set of false teeth were ready. After we left the dentist's office we decided to stroll down the avenue. As we were crossing the intersection, a big Cadilac screeched around the corner. In it we saw Eel Kuhl, who was now private chauffer for Miss Taylor who had recently married a milliona ire. We heard quite a commotion down the street and found that it was a circus. Doing the barking at the ma in gate was Doris Christ· offersen and selling tickets was Shirley Vallie r. After we hunted through t he maze of candy sticks, popcorn, and apples, we saw our former teacher, Mrs Mulvihill. We then heard a familiar voice saying, "Wa tch them shimmer and shake like an old earthquake!" It was Dick Petersen attracting a crowd to the "Satisfying Somnambulists" show where Emma Klopping and Jane Ann Hovey w re sharing the spotlight. We then heard a scream a nd looked around to see Dorothy Gittens and Dolores Thomas taking a ride in a loop-a-pla ne. By this time the day was drawing rapidly to a close and having decided to board a bus for home, started on a reckl ess, ca reening ride. We looked at the driver a nd whom did we see but Ella Mae Mils a t the wheel. We later f ell asleep a nd went off to dreaml and. But for us, no rest. The angels were Cleo Petersen a nd Shirley Christoffer84'n. .. . SNAPSHOTS Ln Memory Of JOHNNY GRIMES December 24, 1930 J une 6, 1946 1'0 1• of l'a~e: ( l eft to l' i g h t ) 1.

Keep blowing "Gabby. 11 Article XXV We , Dale Herrick and Ella !l~ arie Thomas, will our noted differences in si~e to Irene Brummer. As we turn the dial on our "Vicha Voocha Abracadabra 11 television set, which records sound and vision 20 years into the future,· we touch the magic dial to see the old class of '49 once· more. 11 Come one come all, see the greatest muscle man in the world, 11 comes fr om the sound projector and as we look down the list of the class of '49 we cannot imagine who it could be, but as we look closer; we recognize Melvin Dunblazier the number one muscle man -in the world bec ause of his own invention of "Magnetic, Melt-in-your-mouth Muscle Pills." By his side we see his robust wife who has taken ·a ·modified version of his muscle pills and to our amazement is none other than Ruth Mary McDonald . My! ~TI< o is this g orge ous peach who is continually flashing on the s creen?--Why, it is Miss Taylor and we must say· that the bathing suit she made from the cotton out of an aspirin bottle is very becoming. Slowly we turn the dial and who should come into view but Harold lha p and Donna Jensen sitting before a bathtub fishing for goldfish. s ems a Fuller brush man was trying to sell them some brushes. Evi dently h e made a sale because he laft two baby bottle brushes behind. Once more we touch the magic dial and the sound of thousands or people comes to us. It's a football game and Bob Johnson, all-A~erican quarterback of the undefeated "Underwood Baby Buggy Bumper anu- facturing Company 1 s" professional football team, has just come onto the field wearing diapers before 200,000 rapid raving Underwood fans. The reason for this teams undefeated record is that the ir coa ch is Mrs u lvihill and be cause of her fine coaching has put so much vigor and vim i nto the team that they have walked away with all the trophies. · As the band w;riggles onto the field playing the Sabre Dance, we are utterly astounded to see Mr. Bush directing his all girl orchestra and playing a licorice stick at the same time. As we turn off the television set we pick up the newspaper and no tice a particular1y interesting advertisement whi ch reads "Whi ch twin has the Toni?" and posed under this lettering sit Leland and Lloyd Christiansen. Turning the next page the headlines read-- 11 GYPSY ROSE LEE sue ing Miss Joyce E. Grubb for infringing upon her business. 11 Looking down the page we see the latest picture sh ws announced. One that especiall y interests us is the one reading The Biggest Hit On Broadway 11 starring Betty Pendgraft. No i ncreas e in admission. As we read on, we see that the great American scientist, ~ Miller has just received the Nobe l Prize for scientifically rescuing his wife Pat Myers fr om the s wi r ling waters of the bathtub . No de- :? It 0 ~ }J E (; Y - ~ D J\J i-r tails given. That' s enough for us so we throw our oaper down and again tune in on 0ur television set. This time far- away Alaska comes into sight and we notice that Jeanette Hovey is feeding frozen fish to h e r falilily of 17. These huskies make wonderful sled dogs they say. The magic dial now focuses the screen on a night club, "The Stumble rnn." A rich playboy, whom we later discover to be Bruce Larsen is seat ing himself. The waitress saunters over to the table and says "Well! What do you want?" "A cup of coffee please," replied Bruce. "Dra in tlie sewer, 11 yell-ed the waitress and as she turned around we noti ced to our amazement that she was Dorothy Larsen. Evidently he wasn't very thirsty, fo1• he walked to the other side of the room where a floor show was being held. Darlene Schickner was t he star performer and she was wearing a red strapless evening gown with suspenders. Probably due to an experience she had in school. Our set flashes to what is probably the basement. Well, Well, Well what do you know. Wayne McMullen is using his brain in his newly ac- quired job as a professional card swindler. HA 1 s even been given the name ,.,f "Ace" because of his crooked deck . A Beauty Salon is the next scene and we are simply amazed to find Asa Jensen giving Floyd Briggs an egg shampoo so he will look nice in the coming match between Gorgeous George and Fabulous Floyd, the number One wrestler of the nation. As a result of a description given about French girls in High School, Bernard Rin_g, b e came so interested that we now find him directing the ranch Follies. Well, we must say he certainly LOVES his work We touch the magic dial and see that the only difference 20 years has made in the life history of Bob Kuhl is that instead of trying to reach the moon by motorcycle as he tried to do in his high school days he is now flying a Supersonic Je t-Propelled Rocket. The next fla sh on the screen shows us the largest Harem in the world is owned by Dale He rrick whose motto is "Scare •em In Th Haremm We now see a store window before us and Bernard Christensen seems to b e having a little trouble dressing the dress forms. The skirt k eeps slipping to the floor and so doe s his helper, Bob Sweedler. But rrom the looks on their faces they thoroughly enjoy their work. our faithful old set i s now televising a famous Broadway show, star ring Leah Rodenbur& as Bubble Dancer accompanied by Delores o•Doniel . Leah seems to be having a little t r ouble, someone in the audience is ting at her with a water pistol. Further investigation sh ows~ ~~~ier still up to his old tricks. Crystal pool comes to us next and the bathing beauties etting angry at the demon who is shooting at them with a fft er leaving High School, Duane Larsen took this up as a are really bean shooter hobby. Northern Canada flashes up on the screen and we find Ell a Marie Thomas perch ed on top of an iceberg, trying to raise Frozen Onions. (food luck, Ella. Now we turn the magic dial t o a nice quiet i sitting on a rocking chair with six small s · Dean is still up to his old pastime knees. t i this time they are Bedtime s or es. ome scene. Dean Grove children perched on his of telling stories only I t seems Mr. Doller has taken up the f'ine occupation of' a Banker. He i s now learning to make some small change !'or f'uture necessities. They say it' s quite an art once you lalow how! Well what an interestin~ picture bef'ore usJ We see Leo Paul Brewer t he old 11Momies 'ittle man of' Underwood High. He has just been advanced to President of' the Bonehead Brewers Bug A Boo Britches Co. and is a lso the new owner of' the Ford Manuf'acturing Company. We !'ind Hans Christensen running an ·old maid's home. The only re quirement is that they have one f'oot in the grave and one on the bat t l e f'ield . And la st but not least , we !'ind our old Supt. Knowlton busily engaged i n traveling f'rom door to door as a Fuller Brushman. We'r e wondering what ever became of' the $25 a day he was supposed to have been able to acquire through a high school education and the $100 a day by going to college? By t he way , he has invented a new type of'l:e.rd rubber trousers very annoying to hungry neighborhood dogs! And now on our television set the Class of' 15.0 are sending out a ll the l uck and Best Wishes !'or the f'uture to the .alass of' 149. I \ r'r'-1~ J t t.

Dedication To our democracy and to those who are fighting to preserve it, we dedicate this annual, our last Senior project . Especially do we wis h to remember Mr. Lee Hoover, our annual adviser, who left February 16 to enter the armed ser vice. Underwood Consolidated School 1 s c H 0 0 L SUPERINTENDENT'S MESSAGE Great excitement prevails at the time of the publication of your "yearbook." To me it marks the completion of anc~her school year. The ·Seniora, who sponsor the yearbook, have endeavored to compile a group of records and pictures which will help them to remember the school from which they are about to graduate. We know from past; experiences that this record will grow in value as the years go by. Many questions about the members of the cla sses, the outcome of certain ball games, etc., will be answered ten, twenty, and more years from now by looking in this book. It is gratifying to know that some of the graduate• will, as others have done, leave this community and make a name for themselves in other parts of the world, but it is more gratifying to know that many will make this community their permanent home, and in this way this community will benefit directly from the money now being spent to educate her children to live peacefully and happily in this rapidly changing world. With this in mind, I leave these parting words to the Seniors, "I hope each of you make the best of his education, and the best of luck to you. " T . E. Knowlton Mrs. J ean Fustos, Sec retary; Mr. Leonard Brewer; Mr. A. E. Geise; Mr. Albert Peterson, Preetdent1 Mr. Merlyn Ross; Mr. E rnest Niemann. 2.

Glancing down the magazine shelf, I chanced to spy, nestled between "Esquire" and "True Story," a little book called "Lover's Last Chance." Paying the usual price, I stuffed it in my back pocket and thought no more about it until 8:00 when, after eating, I settled .down to read and this is what was in it--from cover to cover. As I turned to the first page, I saw a picture of Mr. and Mrs. Doller, and naturally wondering what they were doing there, I read the description below which said that: EDITORS Mr. and Mrs. Doller--We, the editors of "Lover's Last Chance," met in a Biology laboratory. Were chopping up worms at the time. While looking for a book on echinaderms, came up with one called "Lovers try till you die." Had many common interests--so got .niarried four weeks later. We decided to make our hobbies editing a similiar lonely hearts magazine and raising worms. We hope it produces many good results. Upon turning the page who else should stare up at me than Mr. Esancy, and I was doubly surprised to find that: COUNSELOR Mr. Esancy--Doctor Von Hienrich Esancy, our book's marriage counselor, is well versed for this position. He has a wide range of personal and professional experience that makes him one of the foremost personages in this field. Doctor Esancy got his start in thi s work when a student in Sociology asked him whether kissing was involuntary or v oluntary acti on. Since then his eminance, Doctor Esancy, has wasted no time in finding out the true facts of the matter. For complete information on the results of his findings, please enclose $ 100. and the cover to this magazine. On t he next pages came a list of satisfied customers. This should be interesting. Let 's look and see. SATISFIED CUSTOMERS Jean Manhart--Was I doomed to be a widow? Was my life going to be thrown away? I thought so, but then discovered the wonderful book called "Lover's Last Chance." Four months ago wrote asking about a man.

How happy I am that I have been asked to speak to you on the opening page of your yearbook! Perhaps you do not recognize me, although I have always been with you; in fact, I permeate every phase of your school life. I belong to every organization and am a vital part of every successful activity. I am the force that "puts over" the magazine-sales campaign, the reason behind good citizenship, the desire to make our school "tops" in anything we undertake. I have been present at every game where I seem to find myself more at home than anywhere else. Yes, school activities help to build me strong. In return, my aim is to build character, ambition and enjoyment in your school life, and, yes, even for years into your futures. Students of Underwood High School, you know me well- I am to be found on every page of your 1953 Underwood Log- I am with you now- I shall always be with you, for I am School Spirit. UNDERWOOD CONSOLIDATED SCHOOL We have many reasons to be proud of our 9chool's record. Seate~: Marilyn Fischer, Betty P e tersen, J ack Wylanrt. Standing: Roland Hansen, Thomas Handl cn. LOYALTY AND FRIENDSHIP REM IN School spirit lingers long after Commencemen t. Graduates of Underwood High return again and again to attend Homecoming, bo:sketball games, the o:lumni banquet, or for just an occasional visit. Our graduates usua lly make good records in the ir chosen voca1ion. Those who enter college, express appreciation for a good background - a solid foundation on which they may build a happy life and a successful career. -2- BUILDING KNOWLEDGE AND SPIRIT Almost unlimited in scope are the dutie s of Superinte ndent T. E. Knowlton, who must plan and supervise the affa irs of the school a nd its p upils. His program, to eliminate the worst and strengthen the best in our school syste m, aims at preparing students for a ctive and p urposeful living.

It must be developed and formed, like any good habit, by conscious effort and practice on the part of each individual. Busy leading, guiding and teaching are all members of the Underwood faculty. Each responsibility requires much time and patience. Energetic and helpful as club sponsors, supervisors of class projects, directors of plays, band, and athletic programs, and chaperones on trips and at parties, our teachers set examples of good school spirit. As principal, Miss Minnie E. Taylor writes, signs a nd fil e s several hundre d admit slips each y ear-a small item in the ke eping of high school records. · Othe r duties which challenge and interest her are teaching socia l science, sponsoring the senior class and the pep club and acting as adviser to student cabinet and the yea rbook staff.

Upon arriving in Lincoln, Morrill Hall was visited, where many stuffed animals and aged fossils were seen. At the state Capitol the seniors were lucky enough to see Nebraska's unicameral legislature engage in a lively debate. After investigating the Capitol from top to bottom, the class a te dinner at Gold's Cafeteria. The next stop was the penitentiary and w hile there, much was learned about prisoners and prison life. After touring Lincoln in the bus for about a half hour, the Lincoln Zoo, Police Department and Fire Department were visited . While a t the fire department, an actual alarm went out and the seniors saw a first hand demonstration of what happens when a fire starts. At 5:30 the students split up and went shopping and ate supper. They were given an hour in which to be on their own. After all w ere back toge ther, the movie "Pony Express" was enjoyed. When the show was over, we clambered back into 0 u r bus and were safely back in Council Bluffs by 11 :00. EVIDENCE OF PROGRESS Thirty-one seniors received the most coveted possession of a high school student Thursday evening, May 21st, when Mr. L. P.

Beginning her day you might find he r taking roll, making out absence slips, and after a busy day of carrying out her role as principal, you'll see her dismissing the students at 3:35. But her day doesn' t end there for there are always papers to check, records to keep, and many varied activities to a ttend. F rom Nebraska City, Nebraska, Miss Taylor attended Peru State Teachers' College where she received her B. A. and la te r attended the University of Nebraska 'where she obtained her Permanent P rofessional " P 1 · " f r Just as s ailors look to 0 ans 0 directions we look to Mr. T · E. Knowlton for guidance :n charting our courses in the future. Mr. Knowlton lives in Underwood and has s erved as s upe rintendent here for fifteen ye ars. His days are filled with varied activities and responsibilities, but he finds time on weeken . and vacations to h unt and fish. While raising three of his own children, he ha s had a part in the lives of fourteen graduating classes at Underwood, which is quite a record. Receiving his M.A. a t the University of South Dakota, he taught in four South Dakota schools before coming to Iowa. Certifi cate. -4- &ble ':f eacherd Cf'roCJiae a ~ood &tmodphere Homemaking, office training, general business, and eighth grade English were capably taught by Mrs. Wayne Frazer who is also sponsor of the Unde rwood Homemakers of Tomorrow and of the Junior-Senior banquet. She might be referred to as " Canis-Major" because of her main hobby- dog training. Mrs. Frazer resides in Council Bluffs with her husband, son, and three daughters. She received her B. A. degree from Penn College, Oskaloosa, Iowa. "Ursa Major", another bright star, doesn't outshine Mr. Jack DeSelms. In his first year at Underwood, Mr. DeSelms has cast quite a ligh t in the pschology, business law, and industri al arts departments. Although he enjoys s wimming, basketball, and baseball, Mr. DeSelms spends most of his spare time with his son Bradley Curtis. He received his B. A. from Northwest · Missouri State Teachers' College. Another " Supergiant" in his field, Mr. Gary Wheeler ccm be likened to the great star " Rigle" . His first year at Underwood was busily fill ed with teachin g senior band, junior band , and private lessons to grade and high school students. He certainly must have found many opportunities to engage in his main hobby of listening to good music. From his home town, P eterson , Iowa, Mr. Wheeler went to Wayne State Teachers' College where he obtained his Bachelor of Music Education. Just as " Cassopeia" rules the heavens, Miss Helen Murphy rules wisely over the mathematics and Latin departments. During her four years here at Underwood, she has had many opportunities to hear her pet peeve, "I didn't get my pro blems finished." Miss Murphy received her B.A. from P arsons College. At her home in Omaha she finds time to work at he r hobbies, sewing and puzzles. Mr. Clarence Boos inevitably came into contact with " Scorpius " this year. He ha s taught biology, chemistry, and eighth grade s cience for two years at Underwood. Mr. Boos was educated at Simpson whe re he received a B. A., and he is now working on his Masters Degree at Omaha U. He resides with his wife and two children near Weston. "He rcule s " ha s nothing over Mr. Roger Russell. Not only is he a giant in si ze, bu t also in intellect. World history, general science, and e conomic s were aptly handl ed by Mr. Russell, this year which was his first year a t U.H.S. His home town is Peru, Nebras ka , whe re he attended Ne braska Sta te Teachers' College. He has a B.S. in S duca tion. - 6- Mr. Russell Solberg is a s grea t a hunte r, in his field, as " Orion" is. One of his duties is to hunt out and develop the potential in possi ble athle tes. " Numbers " pl ay an important part in his teaching: The number of points in a basketball game , the number of errors in a typing test, the numbers in bookkeeping, not to mention the number of accidents on the highway dis cussed in drivers education class. Formerly teachin g in Nebraska, he did obtain part of his s chooling a t Wayne Sta te Teache rs' College, where he received his B. A. in 1956. Mr. Melvin Rogers might be known as " Betelgeuse" for he is certainly a " Supergiant" , not in si ze, but in his coaching and teaching c ap acities. Mr. Rogers' third year at Underwood is occupied with freshman an d sophomore English, physical education, track, and he is assistant baske tball coach. F rom his home town, Craig, Nebraska, he went to Dana College where he received his B.S. and then to Omaha U. whe re he received his M.S. Mr. Dare! Pennington has cast as bright a li gh t here as " Canopus " has in the heavens. His ma jor duty is teaching Junior and Senior English, although sponsoring "The Log", directing the Junior and Senior Class P l ays, and being in charge of the library are certainly not minor in any means. Hailing from Norfolk, Ne braska, Mr. Pennington received his B. A. in Education a t Wayne State Teacher' s College and also a ttended the University of Wisconsin for graduate work.

The Seniors' scholastic "Count down" began in 1948 when eleven shy kindergartners started school here at Underwood. The next milestone came with count "four" entering high school. Fifty-one green "Freshies" were initiated in U.H.S. in 1958. Now the final count is being witnessed by thirty-five seasoned Seniors. Seven of the original eleven have endured the test thus far. During counts "four", "three", "two," and "one" (their high school years) the Seniors have learned that scholastic courses plus extra-curricular activities constitute a well-rounded education which is essential in preparing for the future. Almost everyone has participated in some extra-curricular activity, and twelve experienced some leadership training by serving as officers in different organizations. Two boys and seven girls on the honor roll are proof that the scholastic courses have not been neglected. The "zero hour" is approaching when the Seniors will blast off into the future, but they are confident and well prepared to meet any obstacles. MOTTO: He who knows most knows best how little he knows. COLORS: Blue and Pearl FLOWER: Orchid - 15- Thirty-seven Juniors are climbing the stairsteps to the stars. This year, the third step, countless new responsibilities and experiences have been encountered. Courses in American His tory, En glish , geometry, chemistry, typing, bookkeeping, and Latin II were met and conquered. As the Juniors found out, the top two steps in the stairs, used only by upperclassmen, are truly golden. From the third step countless wonders were revealed.

Another coveted honor experienced was the receiving of the class rings, It is impossible to describe the feeling of at last earning the right to wear a class ring- it is an experience that must be encountered to be understood. The academic and extra-curricular activities have helped to prepare the Class of '62 for the next important step -the beginniilg of the end.

This class ranked highest in an intelligence test taken in our high school this year. As the expedition go t under way, they encountered such galaxies as business arithmetic, driver education, geometry, worl d history, English, Latin, shop, and biology, About seven of the students left their names in the Milky Way, or honor roll , each six weeks.

The girls activities were somewhat limited, but they did enjoy such activities as Pep Club, band, chorus, and Homemaking Club. The class itself enjoyed fun and excitement. This proved to be so by two swinging class parties spon• sored by Mr. Boos. Full of liveliness, spark, ambition and mischief, the class is also serious. During their trip this year they have met many problems and taken various orbits. And as the journey nears an end they find that they have achieved many goals in education at our Univers e, Underwood High. Ro w l: Maurine Ness, Linda Nielsen, Erne st Niemann.

Having already reached one-fourth of their goal, the Freshmen reali ze that they should work and keep trying these few short years to prepare themselves for this modern age in which we are all living. Maybe a saying s uch as, "Prepare yourself, it's later than you think", would help some of us. After a rigid entrance test called "Initiation", the Freshm'en felt officially accepted into high school. They then turned interjectically to English, Latin, homemaking, industrial arts, general math, science, and algebra. They dominated the honor roll each six weeks with approximately fourteen students each time. But the F reshmen are firm believers that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Their first semester party consisted of a dance centering around Yuletide decorations and Christmas cheer. Torneten's timber was the scene for their second semester party. All their activities, fun, and homework kept them occupied most of the time, therefore, leaving the space age worries up to Uncle Sam.

The cross-country team shortened its running time last fall and as a result won five track meets - which is quite a record. Members of the team are: Ronald Hough, Larry Bargenquast, Kenny Cohrs, Donald Hough, and Kirk McManamy. The track team traveled far to attend the track meets and each time the trip proved profitable. September 25 found the boys attending the Class B State Mile Team Race at Iowa City. Lakeview was the site of the Black Hawk Invitational Meet held in October. • Lit the c;Qace Just as a criminal returns to the scene of the crime, our track team re turned to the scene of a victory. The place was Iowa City for the Class B Cross Country Meet. Two words from Coach Rogers sums up his opinion of the team, "very successful". Just as one might suspect, he is looking forward to a "very successful" spring track season. Lettermen returning from last year's county championship team include: Ron Hough, distance; Larry Bargenquast, shot put and distance; Phillip Nelson, sprints and li:urdles; Kenny Cohrs, distance; Ernie Niemann, pole vault; Tim Christensen, sprints; Donnie Hough, distance; and Dick Churchill , sprints. "Cf'ep etub Cf'rouide" the ~eedea Spark" "Our boys will shine tonight, our boys will shine" was frequently heard throughout the year signifying another victory. And the team did shine brightly this year- as brightly as any star in the heavens. Each of the sixty four members of the Pep Club can feel that she may have helped the star shine a little brighter. By attending every game and joining in with enthusiastic cheers and peppy songs, the Pep Club gave loyal support to the team. The size, strength and following of the club made our opponents realize Underwood has not only a team, but a C LUB OFFICERS P resident ••..............••.•• Mary Berte lsen Vice-President .• • ••.•••....•••.

Just as a spaceman changes his space - suit when it becomes obsolete, the Pep Club changed its outfits this year. The out-dated uniforms were exchanged for snappy blue wool pleated skirts and white sweaters. A large white megaphone was also bought for the games.

Junior ~re'-'entiniJ - - ~he ~wenty - Second A capacity crowd was on hand December 12 to witness the 1960 Homecoming festivities. The evening commenced with a pair of thrilling basketball games with Carson-Macedonia from which Underwood emerged the victor both times, Following the games the marching band gave a delightful performance of /1 Junior Joins the Band", & a series oi precision maneuvers accompanied by novel music. As the band swung into the traditional 11 Alm a Mat er'', the royal court appeared. A large and enthusiastic crowd viewed: first ~oval eourt the crown bearers, Lena Jen son and Bruce Fellers: Nex t the cup bearer, Mark Hartwell, and the flower girl, Evelyn Newland. As the tension moun ted the Junior attendants, Marjorie Herrill and Doran Christensen entered , follo wed by Senior attendants, Judy Dose and Phillip NAlson. P revious speculation was confirmed when Ellen Herrill and Larry Bargenquast appeared to be officially crowned King and Cueen of the 1960 Homecoming by Superintendent Knowlton. An informal dance sponiii ored by the Student Cabinet followed the Coronation. - 34- ~unior~ €~pLore tlte g,iela o1 ':Drama 11 All in the Family" provided much enjoyment for those a ttending the Junior Class P lay November 2 and 3. The three-act comedy emphasi zed a situa tion found in many homes today - the struggle to get the entire family together for an evening of family fun. The pl ay cen tered around the Mille r Family: Fred, Martha and their two children, Doris and George. In a high school physiology class the students had been discussing problems of the home and parents. George, an exceptionally bright pupil, was invited to be on a radio discussion panel. The subject was /1 Are Parents People?" Becoming interested in the problem faced in modem homes, George discussed the problems of the Miller family with his parents. Thus it was decided to have an evening in which the family was to stay home and enjoy becoming together once again. The evening did not turn out as George ha~ planned, and many amusing incidents resulted. Thirteen students took an active part in the play under the direction of Mr. Darel Pennington.

Mr. Russell As everyone knows, there are certain rules that are necessary whether you are here on earth or on the moon. Most girls agree that "charm" is one of these, so this year's program for the Underwood Homemaker's of Tomorrow was a course in charm conducted by Mrs. Bess Barnes. During the year, the 50 members learned the techniques of walking sitting, and standing correctly; make-up and hair-styling. Mrs. Barnes emph asized that your personality is reflected in whatever you do - whether it be walking, talking, or just plain smiling. Since everyone's different no one rule c an be given in charm that will benefit all. Each girl experimented on herself until she found the right hair style and make-up; she then learned how much to use and how to apply it. The cours e was concluded with a review given for the parents in which the girls, themselves, performed the various topics that they had been instructed in. The year was s upplemented by a candlelight install a tion service for the new officers, taking part in the Christmas program for the high school, and selling at a basketball game.

This year, their second year in existence, the boys' gl ee, girls' glee, and mixed chorus made notable improvement. Mr. Davis believes that practice leads to perfection so the vocal calendar was crammed full. On October 22 a mixed quartet entered All-State tryouts at Shenandoah and were picked to attend the All-State vocal concert a t Des Moines, November 25 and 26. December 11 found all vocal students who were inte rested journeying to Nebraska State Teachers College at Wayne, Nebraska, to hear the " Messiah". The next evening the mixed chorus sang Christmas Carols in Council Bluffs as a part of a ceremony to open the Christmas shopping season. The annual Christmas Concert was given by the vocal and instrumental departments on December 21. The three Choruses presen ted their numbers before a setting of stained glass windows. March was occupied with preparation for the Quad County Chorus at Harlan and the small group contest held April 7 and 8. Also, on April 22, there was a large group contest. Besides participating in these events, some small groups gained practice by singing at P . T.A. meetings, before Church organizations, Women's Clubs, and the assembly, at the Junior-Senior Banquet, and for Bacculaureate, and Commencement. - 39- "Zekiel Saw Da Wheel " is practiced for concert".

This is also true in l aun ching a successful band.

But, the success of the group rests upon the instructor. It is he who molds all the individuals into an effe ctive group.

Receiving his M.A. a t the University of South Dakota, he taught in four South Dakota schools before coming to Iowa. Certifi cate. -4- &ble ':f eacherd Cf'roCJiae a ~ood &tmodphere Homemaking, office training, general business, and eighth grade English were capably taught by Mrs. Wayne Frazer who is also sponsor of the Unde rwood Homemakers of Tomorrow and of the Junior-Senior banquet. She might be referred to as " Canis-Major" because of her main hobby- dog training. Mrs. Frazer resides in Council Bluffs with her husband, son, and three daughters. She received her B. A. degree from Penn College, Oskaloosa, Iowa. "Ursa Major", another bright star, doesn't outshine Mr. Jack DeSelms. In his first year at Underwood, Mr. DeSelms has cast quite a ligh t in the pschology, business law, and industri al arts departments. Although he enjoys s wimming, basketball, and baseball, Mr. DeSelms spends most of his spare time with his son Bradley Curtis. He received his B. A. from Northwest · Missouri State Teachers' College. Another " Supergiant" in his field, Mr. Gary Wheeler ccm be likened to the great star " Rigle" . His first year at Underwood was busily fill ed with teachin g senior band, junior band , and private lessons to grade and high school students. He certainly must have found many opportunities to engage in his main hobby of listening to good music. From his home town, P eterson , Iowa, Mr. Wheeler went to Wayne State Teachers' College where he obtained his Bachelor of Music Education. Just as " Cassopeia" rules the heavens, Miss Helen Murphy rules wisely over the mathematics and Latin departments. During her four years here at Underwood, she has had many opportunities to hear her pet peeve, "I didn't get my pro blems finished." Miss Murphy received her B.A. from P arsons College. At her home in Omaha she finds time to work at he r hobbies, sewing and puzzles. Mr. Clarence Boos inevitably came into contact with " Scorpius " this year. He ha s taught biology, chemistry, and eighth grade s cience for two years at Underwood. Mr. Boos was educated at Simpson whe re he received a B. A., and he is now working on his Masters Degree at Omaha U. He resides with his wife and two children near Weston. "He rcule s " ha s nothing over Mr. Roger Russell. Not only is he a giant in si ze, bu t also in intellect. World history, general science, and e conomic s were aptly handl ed by Mr. Russell, this year which was his first year a t U.H.S. His home town is Peru, Nebras ka , whe re he attended Ne braska Sta te Teachers' College. He has a B.S. in S duca tion. - 6- Mr. Russell Solberg is a s grea t a hunte r, in his field, as " Orion" is. One of his duties is to hunt out and develop the potential in possi ble athle tes. " Numbers " pl ay an important part in his teaching: The number of points in a basketball game , the number of errors in a typing test, the numbers in bookkeeping, not to mention the number of accidents on the highway dis cussed in drivers education class. Formerly teachin g in Nebraska, he did obtain part of his s chooling a t Wayne Sta te Teache rs' College, where he received his B. A. in 1956. Mr. Melvin Rogers might be known as " Betelgeuse" for he is certainly a " Supergiant" , not in si ze, but in his coaching and teaching c ap acities. Mr. Rogers' third year at Underwood is occupied with freshman an d sophomore English, physical education, track, and he is assistant baske tball coach. F rom his home town, Craig, Nebraska, he went to Dana College where he received his B.S. and then to Omaha U. whe re he received his M.S. Mr. Dare! Pennington has cast as bright a li gh t here as " Canopus " has in the heavens. His ma jor duty is teaching Junior and Senior English, although sponsoring "The Log", directing the Junior and Senior Class P l ays, and being in charge of the library are certainly not minor in any means. Hailing from Norfolk, Ne braska, Mr. Pennington received his B. A. in Education a t Wayne State Teacher' s College and also a ttended the University of Wisconsin for graduate work.

The Seniors' scholastic "Count down" began in 1948 when eleven shy kindergartners started school here at Underwood. The next milestone came with count "four" entering high school. Fifty-one green "Freshies" were initiated in U.H.S. in 1958. Now the final count is being witnessed by thirty-five seasoned Seniors. Seven of the original eleven have endured the test thus far. During counts "four", "three", "two," and "one" (their high school years) the Seniors have learned that scholastic courses plus extra-curricular activities constitute a well-rounded education which is essential in preparing for the future. Almost everyone has participated in some extra-curricular activity, and twelve experienced some leadership training by serving as officers in different organizations. Two boys and seven girls on the honor roll are proof that the scholastic courses have not been neglected. The "zero hour" is approaching when the Seniors will blast off into the future, but they are confident and well prepared to meet any obstacles. MOTTO: He who knows most knows best how little he knows. COLORS: Blue and Pearl FLOWER: Orchid - 15- Thirty-seven Juniors are climbing the stairsteps to the stars. This year, the third step, countless new responsibilities and experiences have been encountered. Courses in American His tory, En glish , geometry, chemistry, typing, bookkeeping, and Latin II were met and conquered. As the Juniors found out, the top two steps in the stairs, used only by upperclassmen, are truly golden. From the third step countless wonders were revealed.

Another coveted honor experienced was the receiving of the class rings, It is impossible to describe the feeling of at last earning the right to wear a class ring- it is an experience that must be encountered to be understood.

The girls activities were somewhat limited, but they did enjoy such activities as Pep Club, band, chorus, and Homemaking Club. The class itself enjoyed fun and excitement. This proved to be so by two swinging class parties spon• sored by Mr. Boos. Full of liveliness, spark, ambition and mischief, the class is also serious. During their trip this year they have met many problems and taken various orbits.

Having already reached one-fourth of their goal, the Freshmen reali ze that they should work and keep trying these few short years to prepare themselves for this modern age in which we are all living. Maybe a saying s uch as, "Prepare yourself, it's later than you think", would help some of us. After a rigid entrance test called "Initiation", the Freshm'en felt officially accepted into high school. They then turned interjectically to English, Latin, homemaking, industrial arts, general math, science, and algebra. They dominated the honor roll each six weeks with approximately fourteen students each time. But the F reshmen are firm believers that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Their first semester party consisted of a dance centering around Yuletide decorations and Christmas cheer. Torneten's timber was the scene for their second semester party. All their activities, fun, and homework kept them occupied most of the time, therefore, leaving the space age worries up to Uncle Sam.

The cross-country team shortened its running time last fall and as a result won five track meets - which is quite a record. Members of the team are: Ronald Hough, Larry Bargenquast, Kenny Cohrs, Donald Hough, and Kirk McManamy. The track team traveled far to attend the track meets and each time the trip proved profitable. September 25 found the boys attending the Class B State Mile Team Race at Iowa City. Lakeview was the site of the Black Hawk Invitational Meet held in October. • Lit the c;Qace Just as a criminal returns to the scene of the crime, our track team re turned to the scene of a victory. The place was Iowa City for the Class B Cross Country Meet. Two words from Coach Rogers sums up his opinion of the team, "very successful". Just as one might suspect, he is looking forward to a "very successful" spring track season. Lettermen returning from last year's county championship team include: Ron Hough, distance; Larry Bargenquast, shot put and distance; Phillip Nelson, sprints and li:urdles; Kenny Cohrs, distance; Ernie Niemann, pole vault; Tim Christensen, sprints; Donnie Hough, distance; and Dick Churchill , sprints. "Cf'ep etub Cf'rouide" the ~eedea Spark" "Our boys will shine tonight, our boys will shine" was frequently heard throughout the year signifying another victory. And the team did shine brightly this year- as brightly as any star in the heavens. Each of the sixty four members of the Pep Club can feel that she may have helped the star shine a little brighter. By attending every game and joining in with enthusiastic cheers and peppy songs, the Pep Club gave loyal support to the team.

The evening commenced with a pair of thrilling basketball games with Carson-Macedonia from which Underwood emerged the victor both times, Following the games the marching band gave a delightful performance of /1 Junior Joins the Band", & a series oi precision maneuvers accompanied by novel music.

The three-act comedy emphasi zed a situa tion found in many homes today - the struggle to get the entire family together for an evening of family fun. The pl ay cen tered around the Mille r Family: Fred, Martha and their two children, Doris and George. In a high school physiology class the students had been discussing problems of the home and parents. George, an exceptionally bright pupil, was invited to be on a radio discussion panel. The subject was /1 Are Parents People?" Becoming interested in the problem faced in modem homes, George discussed the problems of the Miller family with his parents. Thus it was decided to have an evening in which the family was to stay home and enjoy becoming together once again. The evening did not turn out as George ha~ planned, and many amusing incidents resulted. Thirteen students took an active part in the play under the direction of Mr. Darel Pennington.

Mr. Russell As everyone knows, there are certain rules that are necessary whether you are here on earth or on the moon. Most girls agree that "charm" is one of these, so this year's program for the Underwood Homemaker's of Tomorrow was a course in charm conducted by Mrs. Bess Barnes. During the year, the 50 members learned the techniques of walking sitting, and standing correctly; make-up and hair-styling. Mrs. Barnes emph asized that your personality is reflected in whatever you do - whether it be walking, talking, or just plain smiling. Since everyone's different no one rule c an be given in charm that will benefit all. Each girl experimented on herself until she found the right hair style and make-up; she then learned how much to use and how to apply it. The cours e was concluded with a review given for the parents in which the girls, themselves, performed the various topics that they had been instructed in. The year was s upplemented by a candlelight install a tion service for the new officers, taking part in the Christmas program for the high school, and selling at a basketball game.

This year, their second year in existence, the boys' gl ee, girls' glee, and mixed chorus made notable improvement. Mr. Davis believes that practice leads to perfection so the vocal calendar was crammed full. On October 22 a mixed quartet entered All-State tryouts at Shenandoah and were picked to attend the All-State vocal concert a t Des Moines, November 25 and 26. December 11 found all vocal students who were inte rested journeying to Nebraska State Teachers College at Wayne, Nebraska, to hear the " Messiah". The next evening the mixed chorus sang Christmas Carols in Council Bluffs as a part of a ceremony to open the Christmas shopping season. The annual Christmas Concert was given by the vocal and instrumental departments on December 21. The three Choruses presen ted their numbers before a setting of stained glass windows. March was occupied with preparation for the Quad County Chorus at Harlan and the small group contest held April 7 and 8. Also, on April 22, there was a large group contest. Besides participating in these events, some small groups gained practice by singing at P . T.A. meetings, before Church organizations, Women's Clubs, and the assembly, at the Junior-Senior Banquet, and for Bacculaureate, and Commencement. - 39- "Zekiel Saw Da Wheel " is practiced for concert".

This is also true in l aun ching a successful band.

This organization consists of three representatives from each of the four high school classes . It is their duty to organize and mo ld the wishes and ideas of the students into a smooth and well-running program. Supervision of the e lection of cheerleaders and of the Homecoming participants is one of the projects of the student organization. Caring for the bulletin boards and seeing that desks and lockers are kept clean is another such job wh ich kept everyone on his toes. The Student Cabinet members act a s guides at the annua l Open House, showing their ab ility as leaders. Running a concession stand at a basketball game may be a hard way to earn money, but the Student Cabinet is able to take it in their stride . For merrymaking this year, the Student Cabinet hired a combo for one of the two sockhops they sponsored. They also arranged and took an active part in a Christmas program for the assembly. The duties of the Student Cabinet are many and varied , but the student representatives proved ab le to take them in their s tride. -23- �The Underwood Homemakers of Tomorrow are organized to promote and encourage the art of homemaking. Regular monthly meetings place an emphasis on parliamentary procedure and the social graces of entertaining, as well as on informative programs. Guest speakers and student demonstrations help to put greater meaning into the various aspects of homemaking. Regular activities include a formal installation of officers , selljng concessions at basketball games , and helping a local charity. The year's big social event was a Valentine Dance h8ld for the members and their guests· Officers chosen by the Club ' s fifty-five members are: Preside nt - Barbara Martin; VicePresident- Janet Bracker; Secretary- Gloria Brown; Treasurer - Kay Mace ; a nd His torian Brenda Bertlesen. -24- �The yearbook staff, traditionally made up of juniors and seniors, spent their ti me thi s year trying to depict "Your School". This called for articles on all the various parts of the s chool. Photographs had to be taken to show the different facets of school life. Then came the drawing of page plans, the drawing and typing of the proof sheets, the trimming and pasting of pictures, and the infinite last minute checks of the proof sheets.

Truly, one of our generation who seemed fast enough to keep ahead of the rapid pace of our day. His death came with the swiftness with which he lived. But in Christ his "strength is renewed like the eagles". To the memory of this Eagle we dedicate this Log of 1964.

These students, by participating in the Science Club, are taking greater steps in furthering their knowledge in this field. The Science Club is sponsored by Mr. Boos. The only re11uirement for membership in the club is an interest in science. Early in April the Science Club Science Club Officers sponsored a Science Fair. After four months' work on an individual project, each science student entered it in the Science Fair; it was judged on creative ability, scientific thought, thoroughness, clarity and dramatic value, and technical skill. Joanna C hr i s tens en and Marvin Leaders were chosen to represent Underwood at the Hawkeye State Science Fair . The club is affiliated with the Sci ence Clubs of America .

THROUGH THE EYES OF THE GRADUATING CLASS OF 1965 At first the whole id ea of graduating seemed unreal and remote. But th e days kept creeping by and soon the calendar offered undisputabl e ev idence that our years at Underwood were about to reach their conclusion. We were over-joyed t o think that all our work and waiting was about to pay off; that after all this tim e WE would be th e ones who wear caps and gowns and shake the hand of the man who awards d iplomas! Our high spirits were contagious, noticeabley affecting th e rest of the school. And, even co nsidering how happy we were to finish high school, we had to admit that ther e were some parts of the routine we w uld miss. One of these was seeing our friends after we went our s eparate ways - to jobs, marriage, college.

Members gained experience by presenting demonstrations and talks on topics such as making salads, refinishing furniture, homemade gifts, making rolls and bread, choosing the right accessories, and interior decorating. A demonstration on cake decorating and slides of Ecuador were given by outside guests. A Christmas party with a gift exchange and a visit from Santa was held in December. The members made the gifts, and prizes were given for the most original gift and the most original package wrapping. Money was sent to Ecuador at this time to help with the Peace Corps project. In the spring a bake-off was held with the county home economist as judge. In April the club toured some model homes, visited the Blackstone Hotel, and Boys' Town. The highlight of the year's activities was a banquet held for members who had met certain requirements. lt was financed by candy sales at basketball games anq cookbook sales. �Science Club Pres. - Marvin Leaders, Vice Pres. - Greg Ross, Secretary - Kathy Hartwell, Sponsor - Mr. Boos.

As you move downward the tunnel widens and finally opens to reveal the beautiful, mysterious "Fantasy of the Sea". In the center of this spectacular underwater world lies a mermaid, reclining on a pillow of seaweed. Farther on, you are awed by the eeriness of an old sunken ship. This was the setting of the 1966 Junior Senior Prom. The prom was sponsored entirely by the Junior Class, and was financed through a bake sale and various concessions. The banquet was served by fourteen "Sailors", from the Sophomore Class. They were: Elaine Carrigan, Cindy Christensen, Rhonda Geise, Marcia Leaders, Nancy Nielson, Beth Oltmans, Jolene Tiarks, Kurt BeU, Wayne DiCenzo, Rich Eames, Keith Hartje, John Johnson, Don Stange, and Roy Tiarks. Music for the evening was provided by the Bob Edson Quintet. 50 �Programme • Paul Nielsen Friendly Philosophy • • Adventures in the Sea Vicki Aney Neptune's Prophecy Kathy Finn • Junior Girls' Quartet Time Out for Mermaids Anchors Away •••••• Tim Durick Sunken Treasure Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow 51 Dean Ness • •••••••••• Miss Margaret O'Neill �Honor Students Jean Herrill Terry Finn Vicki Aney Sylvia Ridlen The last notes of" Pomp and Circumstance" have faded and the last rose has withered away.

The transformers were those ladies on each extreme; Adelaide, played by Juli Drummond, of the Hat Box night club and Sarah Brown, Beth Petersen, of the Save-aSoul Mission.

Freshmen-Do n Christensen, Julie Rodenburg, and Darwin Tiarks. The cabinet, sponsored by Mr. N. Benzing , is to be a voice of the st udent body. Besides taking criticisms and suggestions from both the students and the administration , the cabinet also has the respon sibility of preparing for homecoming. The first concern afte r being organized at the start of the school year was homecoming. The major problem was money making. They sta rted out 50c/ in the hole! Some projects sponsored by the cabinet to rai se money were selling homecoming butto ns and running concession stands. Homecoming was successful and Steve Hartwell served as master of ceremonies. One of the decisions the cab inet had to make this year was whether or not to provide a pop machine for the students in the lobby . They over-ruled thi decision . Also considered was the method of choosing cheerleaders for the 70-71 season . 17 �The Underwood Ho m em ake rs o f T om o rro w spo nso red several bakesa les du ring th e yea r a t th e Io wa Light & Po wer Building and th e eleme nta ry building Th e m o ney they earn ed we n t to ward th e annual spring banqu e t he ld in Omaha.

The purpose of the organization was to give recognition to high school students for their character, scholarship, leadership, service and to encourage the growth of these qualities. As an active body, the society would influence and elevate standards of scholarship, while also serving it's community and school. The original chapter of the NHS was established in 1922. Since that year, the society has grown to include over 19,000 senior and junior high chapters throughout the United States. Members of the NHS are expected to maintain a B average throughout their high school careers. A member in good standing is recognized as a part of the society anywhere in the nation. The Underwood NHS students are: Duane Barnett Cheri Geise Lavonne Leaders Bob Tiarks Jim Rodenburg Terri Seidler Laura Rodenburg Jolene Spencer Gwen Niemann De De Shudak Kurt Huneke Jodie Ehrens Dawn May Debbie Larson An introduction ceremony for the students was held in December. Each member was given a candle lighted from the flame of the single candle that stood for the eternal light of knowledge . Four other cand les represented the character, scholarship, leadersh ip , and service of each member. At an organizational meeting that followed, officers for the society were elected. They are; Kurt Huneke , Pres.; Gwen Niemann , Vice Pres. ; Laura Rodenburg, Sec.; Bob Tiarks, Treas. Plans have been made for NHS to sponsor a foreign exchange student during the future . It is hoped th at the NHS ill be a source of leadership for both the students and the community . 31 ���34 ��Junior..Senior Bant{,uet and Prom The servers, chosen from the Sophomore Class, were Jim Dargin, Mike Hansen, Frank Foote, Sue Bertleson, Elise Christensen, and Julie Rodenburg.
