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

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

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

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

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.

You are the principa l charac ters; your experiences (_w hich we have tried to catch in th e lively ca rtoons) are the plot; yo ur accomplish- ments, the climax. You, the students, are the real school. But with that grea t privilege goes a two-fold responsibility. First, th e school can fl ourish onl y in rela tion to yo ur effort, cooperation, and conduct. Second, the nation can prosper onl y :tccording t ::> how well you, through the school, arc able to take your place in our society. fn today's confused, rapidly-changin g worl d, the d uty of youth in developing its full capacity and stature is tremendous.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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. Mournful wailing of ;1 distant foghorn g;t ve <tn eerie note to the atmosphere of suspense.

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.

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

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

O ri ginal ca pitalizatio n a nd se ntence structure h ave bee n retain ed . "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.

"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.'" A gof Jen anniuer:5ar'J me:5:5age /,.om ou1• pre:5enl principal- "Millions of Americans are celebrating this semi-centennial year. But for A. L. students, alumni, facu lty, and administra tion, 1950 has a double significance. It is our fifti eth birthday, as we ll as the golden anniversary of the twentieth century. 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 . L. are proud of our present accomplishments and equally proud of the records of hundreds of our graduates. W e cherish the memories of fifty golden years in this building, and we hope and pray that th rough the youth of th e future we may have another fifty golden years ahead. " Theron R.

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

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

SENIORS AT WORK N o matter which grade you're in, classes run just about the same; or you think they do until you 're a senior; then the subjects get tougher, what with trig., English lit., algebra 4, and such.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

The variety of p lay production work nine or ten years ago is told graphica ll y in this paste-up of posters, reproduced from the 194 l Crimson and Blue. -- 1906-1950 The first full-scale production at Abraham Lincoln High School was "H.M.S. 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.

The play pointed out the ig norance of people 111 regard to Red Cross services. The play was directed by Miss Marjory Mahoney; student directors were Marcia Gordon and Pat H erring. Music was furnished by Mrs. Viola Bichel and the music groups.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Kat e lman A Y-Teen girl is a junior member of the YWCA. Abraham Lincoln Y-Teens hold bimonthly meetings. Cabinet and committee chairmen meet on alternate weeks. The Y-Teen club is both a service and social club. Reel Cross work, scrap books for a children's orphanage, and a Christmas party for underprivileged children are annual services. Hi-Y's and Y-Teens sponsor a prog ram for Easter. The Y-Teens look forward to attending a district meeting each spring, where approximately one thousand young people meet from Hi-Y and Y-Teen clubs.

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

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

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 . . . .

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Finances are obtained through the sale of pictures taken by club members. Some of the members are selected to be on the camera staff, which does most of the pictures for the school y.earbook. 91 Seated: Strong, Wilson, Bryan, McDonald, Cook.

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. In their first Inter-City contest, A. L. cagers won from South, 42-38, the first meeting in recent history ... betwee n the two .schools.

L. , holding Prep's leading scorer to only seven points. On the following night, the Lynx upse t Tech, 75-6 4, after a wild contest which kept Inter-City hope s alive . The tota l sum of 139 broke the Inter-City record for the most points made in a game by both te ams. Before a packe d gym, A.

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

Music Sponsors Sponsors of music groups not only train. students for public performance, but find themselves called on to perform frequently .

Horry Hilton listens and momentarily escapes a demanding sponsorship that ranges from bond concerts to pep rallies and parades. - Drama-Speech Sponsors As respective ploy and debate sponsors, Rhoda Godown and Horry Langdon go over schedules, ironing out conflicts and shaping their work to benefit the greatest number of students. Miss Godown is also new co-sponsor of the sophomore class; Mr. Langdon has the sponsorship of the Thespian Society. 11 Conferring here are practical arts men, Harold Stout and Edwin Reine!. Relieved of formal sponsorship because of a heavy teaching load, Mr. Stout nevertheless unofficial ly sponsors ambitious students by keeping daily ofter-school hours for those who wont to do extra work .

Practical Arts Sponsors Sports Sponsors Grouped in front of one of the sports department's moneymakers, the popcorn machine, are three Lettermen's Club sponsors, Victor Jennings, Thomas Capel, and Vernon Doty. Joining them for a coke is Cleola Mansfield, w ho takes time out from a · practice of the Pep Club and the Cheerleaders, which she sponsors. 12 Literary Society Sponsors Before the school year is over, one of the major jobs for each literary society sponsor is that of handling the business end of a society play.

JUNIOR OFFICERS P l- E Y Pl·:r:t'I• E:!':l~. \ l-r;r f'r ·sid >n t l't ' t'<' ~ r ,\· Senior: 1924 Someone wrote of Nate in his junior year: "He is now only a junior and great things are expected of him as a senior." Nate didn't let down his well-wishers. He was active in debating, earning an enviable berth on the famous " triangu lar debate squad." He won the extempo semiflnals. He headed The Echoes, giving to the school paper its motto which continues to this day-" Echoing Vigorousl y, Justly, and without Prejudice." In the senior cl ass production, "Friend Hannah," he played a leading role. At commencement, he graduated with highest honors, as he also did four years later at Harvard. Nate's A. L. senior class picture and summary are reproduced at the left. (Pictures on this page and the one preceding we re reproduced from old annuals. Although prints of this kind give unsatisfactory results, the editors felt that the value of authentic pictures outweighed the disadvantage of poor reproduction .) 17 The Nathan Pusey Story When he was graduated from A. L. High School thirty years ago this June, Nathan Marsh Pusey (known locally as Nate) was singled out by his classmates and teachers as a brilliant boy with a promising future. His Abe Lynx instructors and schoolmates were right, for at forty-six young Pusey is president of Harvard University, the nation's oldest, richest, and proudest institution of higher learning. Chosen from a list of more than one hundred top educators, he is the first non-easterner Harvard hos e lected to its highest post in 316 years. Born April 4, 1907, in Council Bluffs, the new Harvard president is the son of the late John Morsb and Rosa Drake Pusey. His grandfather, also named Nathan, was on early Counci l Bluffs attorney and half-brother of William Pusey, long a prominent Council Bluffs banker, public official, and friend of Abraham Lincoln. A.P. Photo This family group shows Dr. and Mrs. Nathan Pusey and their children, Nathan, Jr., James, and Rosemary. 18 In speaking of h is Council Bluffs boyhood, Dr. Pusey recalled: " I grew up very hqppily despite the sudden loss of my father and received a good education in the Council Bluffs public schools, while Mother resumed her teaching to support the family. Although the years hove rushed by, I still remember many of my A. L. teachers as among the best instructors I have ever had, anywhere." Dr. Pusey, who spent his boyhood in the Lake Okoboji area as chauffeur and tutor and later worked in the Council Bluffs Savings Bank, will be no stranger on the Harvard campus. He took his undergraduate, graduate, and doctorate work- the re after earning a Perkins scholarship on graduation from A. L. In 1936, Dr. Pusey married Anne Woodward of Council Bluffs. He is the father of two sons, Nathan, Jr., James, and a daughter, Rosemary. A brother of Doctor Pusey , Maj. John Pusey, and a sister, Mrs. Esther Briggs, were also graduated from Abraham Linco ln. In 1944, when he was only 37, Dr. Pusey was elected as the tenth president of Lawrence College, Appleton, Wisconsin - the youngest college head in the country at the time. In his nine years at the Wisconsin school, he established himself as a gr.eat intellectual and moral leader. It is with pleasure that the staff of the 1954 Crimson and Blue dedicates this year's book to Dr. Nathan Pusey, A. L. graduate and educator, who in thirty years has progressed so rapidly up the administrative ladder that he now holds the top spot at the nation's most famous school, Harvard.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

H.S. involve a considerable amount of higher learning. Few of them, however, are accepted with so much enthusiasm as that of being in the orchestra. Directed by M iss Elaine Sorensen, this group is composed of only the better of more than seventyfive A.L. instrumentalists. Since the musical selections are usually of a classical nature, they demand of the student both skill and dexterity. The pleasure and knowledge reaped from playing in the Abraham Lincoln orchestra suffice for all the work put into it, according to the students. Th ese orchestra memb e rs begin a practice session to improve their ploying ski lls. Row 1: W iest, Zoblow, Danford, Harold, Stageman, Agnew, Nimtz.

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

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

Miss Baptist has spent the entirety of her twenty-one-year tenure at Abraham Lincoln working with students on school publications, including twelve years as adviser for the annual and fourteen years as an instructor of journalism . She has helped countless sophomores over the hurdles of English 111 and IV, and has been a sponsor of Delta Tau for seven years. In addition to her service to A. L. students, Miss Baptist has been active in promoting the welfare of teachers at local, state , and national levels. Her devotion to Abraham Lincoln High School will long be remembered. Changes 6eatulle ~ection " The old order changeth, yie lding pJace to new .. .. This quotation from Tennyson, the p~et, appropriately describes the changes going on in Council Bluffs today. Changes, of course, may not always mean improvement; but they add variety, interest, and demonstrate the dynamic spirit of a community. In this section of pages, the 1956 yearbook staff has attempted to reflect that progressive spirit by means of words and pictures. 7 Changes in the annua l itself occur this year. Among them a re the introduction of spat color and use of a new-type caver. Above: Here is the heart of the public address system, newlyinsta lled at A. L. The pone l of this intricate machine connects the office with every room in the mai n building and gym. Below: Changes at A. L. include personnel. New teachers are: Mrs. Coad, Mr. Anderson, seated; Mr. Church, Mrs. Minarcini, Mr. Copeland, Mr. Thomas, standing. Changes A pause a t th e new drinking fountain real ly refr eshes, for e lectrically-cooled wa te r. !I I 0 Changes at A. L. are varied .. ... new lighting and soundproofing in many classrooms, new con veniences in the halls, new bell system, new faces among the instructors, and new pride among the students in the beginning of a renovation program. Here is a picture potpourri of changes, big and small. \\~ 1--i-,---, '~~- ""\ 1---i---,----- Renovotion in clossrooms ot A. L. hos not been as complete as originally planned, but many of the rooms hove been soundproofed with new acoustical ceilings and brightened with rows of fluorescent lights. . The most appreciated change at A. L. is probobl y the new bell system. Easy-to-hear bells hove replaced the old bell-and-clock system, which was rarely synchronized to school needs. tha nks to st d . u ent -council purchases, is availa b le on all floors. Aiding storage and hall traffic at the some time, recessed lockers toke the place of the o ld projecting type. These new lockers ore the product of classes in practical mechanics. 9 Face-lifting of store fronts is one of the busy pro jects of many Council Bluffs merchants as port of the city's continuing progress. Typical is Beno"s change of face from the old, left, to the new, right. Change DEPARTMENT STO ------ - r;:::- --,.. illDiWIIDQ\~lli~~ \~\\t ;,- i 1.2. Simplificatio n is port of the .. ne w look .. in the Council Bluffs skyline. The e labo rate clock-towe r of the Pottowattomie County Court House comes down. Workmen raze the old post office building. A new $1500,000 structure is to rise from the rubble. 10 0 A move fo r more and b e tte r schools is evident in Council Bluffs. The new Washington School replaces the old h igh-towered landmark at the head of Main and Bryant Streets. Council Bluffs is changing. From a so-called " one-horse" town, shabby both in appearance and c1v1c pride, Council Bluffs is today bounding ahead in the fields of business, religion, culture, and family living. On these pages are representative pictures of the city's parade of progress. It took twenty yeors to moke a dream come true. Now a reality, the Broadway Viaduct links into one the two sections of the city. Church construction keeps pace with other progressive steps taken in Council Bl uffs. Shown is the new educational unit of the Presbyterian Church. Modernizing streets and thoroughfares, one of the city's biggest single projects, provides a noticeable change in the appearance of Count il Bluffs. A pleasant change fro:n the housing shortage of the past is the present building boorn, greatest in the 102-year history of Council Bluffs. 11 PART TWO: .. . ADMINISTRATION nt t Russel J.

The Latin Club was organized with the prime objective of acquainting members with Latin-speaking countries, their customs and history. The club consists of students from three Latin classes, each of which holds an individual meeting during 22 classtime. Playing games, discussions on Latin subjects, singing, and having refreshments are activities at these meetings, which are held once every six weeks. There is one get-together party during each semester in which all three classes convene. The main purpose of the Spanish Club is to foster interest in the Spanish language. Students keep in contact with the language and increase their knowledge by seeing moyies, hearing speakers, and giving reports on the people and countries where Spanish is spoken . Certainly important is the social atmosphere at the meetings and functions outside of school, such as the informal initiation and Spanish dinner. Row 1: Johnson, Hough, Varn e r, R.

The Y-Teens began their year with a Welcome Ted for new girls and a spirited membership drive. This organization sponsored a dance and the sale of peanuts, using the proceeds to give a Christmas party for the Christian Home children. Other activities consisted of the Korean orphanage project, the observance of Brotherhood Week, the Easter assembly, and the May Breakfast, which honored the senior members. Row l : S.

Two teams, one affirmative and one negative, are chosen from each literary organization to take part in the intersociety debate. Teams are judged on organization of information, delivery, and courtesy to opponents. Participants, through debate competition, acquire logical procedures of organization, sincerity of purpose, determination, and a more discerning attitude on current issues. lntersociety debate winners for 1955-56 were the Alphas, with the Omegas placing second. 39 Compiling data for an upcoming contest are Joyce Cejka , Ann Anderson , Jean Hounshell , and Ruth Grell, members of the Alpha ·s winning intersociety debate team . 0 ( Seated: Russell, Winchester, Folken, Brown, Menz.

The joys are such momentous things as Angie 's first date, a sailboat ride, the countryclub dance; the unhappiness is made up of the usual teen "tragedies" - envious girl friends, the weeks of waiting for the " right " phone call, and lovers' quarrels. As the summer ends, all ends happily, the quarrel is patched, and Angie prepares for college.

Nothing was spared as Station LYNX, Channel 212, went on the air to display the many and varied talents of A.L. students. One hilarious comedy take-off was provided by the basketball team as lovely Hawaiian girls.

If, during the 1955-56 school year, one had dropped by the band room, he would have heard the strains of "Snow White Fantasy," "Russian Sailors' Dance," or any number of lovely orchestral pieces. The orchestra, under the direction of Miss Elaine Sorensen, must practice and perform each year a wide variety of selections, for it is called upon to play a range of music to accommodate such demands as those of state and al I-state contests, the music clinic, and graduation. In addition, members of the brass, woodwind, and percussion sections of this organization contribute their talents to the Abraham Lincoln band . The orchestra worked hard throughout the year, and the result was an appreciative audience wherever the A. L. group played. 50 Orchestra Orchestra librarian and president, respectively, are Ann Anderson and Bill Christensen. Members of the orchestra "s string section wait for the rehearsal tune-up.

L. band, though small in number, was great in talent and spirit. Under the direction of M r. Rex llgenfritz, all members worked faithfully toward forming a good, entertaining organization, and their efforts were successful. The annual midwinter band concert, the spring concert, Omaha University"s band day, and the State Marching Band Contest were among the ma ny band activities. During the marching and concert seasons, band members willingly forfeited added sleep to come to early-morning practice sessions. A. L. students realized what a fine organization the band was and that its contribution to the spirit of the school was a vital one. The bond starts off in marching fo rmatio n during one o f its many early-morning practices on Kirn Field. The Crimson and Blue Row l : Garcia, T.

It was the inevitable losing year that comes when the preceding team, dominated by seniors, has a successful one. The present seniors, because of inadequate experience, are forced to the bench so that underclassmen may get much action behind them and have a veteran crew in the ensuing years. There was marked improvement as the sea·· son progressed, and the Abe Lincoln record will bear this fact out. The Lynx, in their first two games were not able to cross the goal line. Then, in their game against Tee Jay, they tallied once; and they re63 peated the performance ogainst Centra l the following week. A. L. slumped off in the next three games, and Vic Jennings took drastic action. All sen io rs were benched, the starting eleven being made up entirely of sophomores and juniors. This move proved fruitful; fo r the Hillto ppe rs, in their game against South, again e ntere d the scoring column. The A. L. gridders ended the season with commendable effort-against Fort Dodge. Two touchdowns were scored, good defense wa s employed, and the final score was only one point against the Lynx, 13-12. The team's effort was g reat this seaso n, and results of the "building year" will appear in 1956. Row l : Hadden, Noble, Deal, Hansen, Merrill, Beaumont. Row 2: Gillman, Poulos, Hyde, Messerli , Morrison, Jones. Row 3: Miller, Mauer, Shaw, Mass, Smith, Collins. Second Team A large contributor to the A. L. varsity football squad in 1955 was the second team. Since a number of sophomores was used to help the varsity during the season, the efficiency of the Baby Lynx was .lessened, and they were held to a 2- 5~ l record. Much is expected from these boys in the next two years when they again will become a unit. Larry Kulisek and Denny Winchester combine to stop an Omaha North ball carrier. 64 Varsity Basketball The Abraham Lincoln basketball team opened their season with three non-intercity victories. They defeated Villisca 67 to 24. Creston 88 to 44, and l.S.D. 97 to 75. The l.S.D. game set a school team scoring record, and Jack Chapman got an individual mark of 44 points. The Lynx won their first two intercity games over Tech and Central by the scores of 70 to 49 and 70 to 50, respectively. They then met a strong Creighton Prep team and were defeated 56 to 45. For the first time in fourteen games, arch rival Thomas Jefferson was able to topple the Hilltoppers, 77-73. The Lynx then traveled to Iowa City, where they lost a 47-31 half-game exhibition to Keokuk. A.L. got back on the winning trail with a 7 4 to49 victory over Boys Town. They held the Cowboys to 8 points in the final quarter and scored 33 themselves. They beat Benson 69 to 43 as Jack Chapman scored 20 points. The Lynx then beat league-leaders Omaha South 70 to 66 as Mike Hoffman and Chuck Francis each got 20 points. The following night the Lynx overwhelmed North 83 to 46. Omaha Tech and Omaha Central scored victories over the Lynx by counts of 70 to 67 and 70 to 61 as the Lynx were unable to get their firebrand style of ball into effect. A 60-48 win over Prep put A.L. back in the victory column, w ith Chuck Francis getting 21 points, 15 coming in the third quarter. They avenged a defeat by Tee Jay when they beat the Yellowjackets 65 to 60 and followed with a 75 to 59 victory over Omaha North. Omaha Benson became their next victim, fall ing before the Lynx 58 to 38. Omaha Holy Na me was beaten by the Lynx in their first court meeting in recent years. The score was 83 to 54; Jack Chapman and Mike Hoffman each scored 25 points. The Lynx quintet won their si xth straight game with a 54 to 47 victory over Omaha South, a team ranking number one in Nebraska. Chuck Smith and Tom Jones were A.L. standouts in this game. The Lynx quintet closed out the regular season with a 66 to 64 win over Boys Town on the Cowboys' court. The Lynx trailed until the final two seconds when Jack Chapman scored the last of his 39 points. Kneeling: Francis, Smith, Jones, Johnstone. Standing: Jensen, Hoffman, Chapman, Mingus.

Recollections of the games will linger long after the lights have dimmed in the gym and on Kirn Field; and the color the pep band added to these and other events won 't soon be forgotten. The laughter found at the senior class play, the Road Show, and on senior day will be cherished, as wil l the fun of the Christmas and graduation dances, the prom, and the Military Ball. The Baccalaureate service and graduation day sent class members along d ifferent ways with various endeavors; but through these memories, the class of '56 will remain united.

Robert Brown, editorial Margaret R. Henderson, business Walter Kaltenborn, photographic missal. • 1n this book Dedication Mr. Virgil H . 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.

Plans were laid for yard lights to flood the front of the school building, a project financed by the council-sponsored magazine drive. Bi-monthly morning devotions were also under the direction of the council. In add ition to these special projects, the student council helped to work out many of the general problems that concerned the school.

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.

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.

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

Men who possess a keen interest in the progres of their community and their schools. These men give long hours to keep the schools functioni ng and progressing.

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

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

Keeping an accurate record of all the money received and dispensed is one of the big jobs handled effectively by our treasurer, Mrs. Williams.

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

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

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

Though they say that friendships break up After Graduation Day, We will keep our friendships growing And prove there's nothing in what they Too soon, classmates, we'll be parted And we'll say good-bye to each one; But let's keep every dream we've started Whether working or having fun.

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

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

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

ATHLETICS I. 82 ( I '--- ROY AL PERSONALITIES A.L's football players bestowed their highest honor on Linda Newman when they elected her the 1961 Football Queen. Linda enjoys sports as a spectator and also as a participant. She played recreation basketball this year. She was a member of the Medical Arts Club and the Student Council. Although she is one of our more quiet seniors, Queen Linda will be long remembered by her A.L. friends. Two Susies shared the princesses' spotlight at our Homecoming this fall. Vivacious Susie Fernley is well known for her sparkling personality and fri endly smile. Her favorite extracurricular activity is vocal music. She especially enjoys singing with the Madrigal Singers. Famous for her musical ability, Princess Susie Stuart has had the lead ~ the senior operetta for two years. An active participant in many clubs, she is noted for her cooperativeness and enthusiasm. Homecoming Royalty Abraham Lincoln's '61 -'62 Football Queen Linda Newman and her court earned their way to this honor through selling sea~on football tickets. The football team selected the queen and the princesses from the five girls highest in sales. The court was composed of the remaining ten girls out of the highest thirteen. It was a beautiful warm evening for the crowning. 86 Homecoming Court 1 FRONT: Sandy Nohrenberg, Linda Rasmussen. BACK: Pam' Radliff, Carol Larson, Connie Elgan.

BACK ROW: D oug Vergamini, J ack Sorensen, Dick ' Beez ley, Stan ' Bahnsen, Bill Wasinger, Steve Minikus and Dan Southard. Larry Messerli makes tag in AL-TJ game. With the call of "play ball," Coach Don Thomas' baseballers returned to action. The Lynx were short on seniors-only two on the squad-which could point to very good teams in the future yea rs. The retiring Lynx are veterans Dick Beezley and Larry Messerli. Seniors-to-be Stan Bahnsen, Steve Minikus, and Bill Wasinger are expected to form the nucleus of next year's team. Sophomores Jerry Thomas, Rod Putnam, Dave Lubbe, Dean Collier and Rob Clouse also turned in good performances this season. 107 JUDI CAMPBELL- "Give me an 'L' !" LINDA FLACK-"Fightteam-fight !" SUSAN KRETSCHMER- " Have you got that spirit) 108 MARY LYNNE JORGENSEN- "Are you rooting for the boys?" A victory pyramid is formed by senior cheerleaders Pat Danielsen, J udi Campbell, Kathy Francis, Ruth Knickman, Mary Lynne Jorgensen, Linda Flack, and Susan Kretschmer. Varsity ~ ~I KATHY FRANCIS-''Fight-fight!" RUTH KNICKMAN- ··Go-gang-go !' ' PAT DANIELSEN- "A-L-H-SFig ht1" Cheerleaders "On to State!" was a dream come true for the Varsity Cheerleaders. During all their time as cheerleaders, these girls have waited, cheered and "hoped" for the ultimate reward of a cheerleading career-a trip to the State Basketball Tournament. This year that dream actually came true! Mrs. Cleola Taylor, sponsor, conducted 7:30 practices three mornings a week during the entire football and basketball seasons. While cheering .football games this year, the girls experienced all kinds of weather-baking hot, freezing cold, and soaking wet. Cheering wrestling matches was a relatively new experience, but also an exciting one. The "new look" of the Varsity Squad resulted from adoption of blue skirts by the seniors in place of the white ones. JUDY PEDERSEN- "Beat 'Em 1" BARB KAY-"Ring it out! " PATTY MdvfULLEN-"L-I-N-C.0-L-N !" LORRAINE HODGE- "Yea, team, fight!" KATHY CUTLER- "We' ,·e got the team 1" KAY CHRISTEN SEN- "Pass 'Em, ..

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

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

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

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

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

These helpful girls perform various duties which include checking absences, attending the counter, and running errands for the office staff. These girls play a very important part in making our school more efficient. Linda Giles, Colette Hale, Gayle Hallenbeck, Carol Sue Spelma n, Jane Somers and Susan Petrus check on an absent stud ent. INVALUABLE is the word for Mrs. Hoffman's assistants. The jobs pe rformed daily by these fifteen g irls in the nurse's office include calling homes of students who are on the absence list, reco rding information on health cards, and consolin g "so-called" sick students. These girls are to be highly commended for the giving of the ir time to help fellow-students. Cheryl Woodward, Sharon Tate, J ocelyn Ca ry, Linda Prior, J udic Brotherton, Louise J orge nson, Leslee Giles, Grace Pyper and Linda De k h an t have " legal" exc uses for absences. J Forest Gunt er, Roger Robey, Phil Grego, Dave Miner, Orvill e Blue, Larry l\IcKern, Ervin Cook and David Graves wa sh dishes. The student body appreciates the service given by these boys and girls during fourth period each day. Besides having fun, they receive a small salary. Practical Mechanics Cafe Helpers Kathy Cutler, Eileen Graves and Eileen Hunt er are cashiers. The practi cal mechanics class was continued thi ~ yca-r under the direc tion of Mr. Vonni e rn ge man . His workers are Dave Siefkin , .Tim Ri ggin s, and LHn· :\le.

Seniors, as well as juniors, will neve r forget the weekly reminders about voting for the ca ndidates of their choosing. And of course, we'll neve r forget that exciting moment as we awaited the final announcement on Honor Day. It is difficult to depict the characteristics the lucky couple must possess, but we of the Yearbook Staff believe an attractive personality and active leadership are two important qualities. Friendliness to all and participation in extracurricular activities Patt y !l!lcMullen and Dave Ep·e A.L.H.S. Finalists are also held high in consideration for these honors. But above a ll , just be ing "well-liked" is the most important o f all the q ua lities. After upperclassmen h ave decided on the couple which h as allqined these traits, a first tall y is taken. From this g roup the top six couples are chosen, and the ir pictures a re then <lisplayecl. After pondering over the twelve ca ndid a tes, the fin al vote is cast, and the most popular boy a nd girl a re finall y selected. Now, we o f the Yea rbook Staff present them to you, the student body, "Mr. and Miss A.L.H.S." of 196.'3 .

My German family took a camping trip through Italy, Switzerland, Lichtenstein. and Austria. finally returning to Germany. Because , of this I wa~ able t~ s~e more of Europe than I had expected. While m Italy on our camping trip, I met three Danish boys, three boys from Holland, and a French boy. I guess the language of teenagers is universal because we had a great time together. My first haircut abroad was given by a female barber, and I'm sure it was the first time she had ever attempted a fl at top. It was really wild ! It definitely had to be cut by a U.S. barber before I could see any of my friends. Because of my experience I learned to appreciate more other peoples' way of life and culture. el:uf !mieberfehen Robert Schlott 66 ' '- { ~ (~ America is a wonderful co untry ! Since I came last August, I h ave lea rned a great deal about your way of living. American students are very fortunate because in Japan we have to take twelve subjects in one semester and study until one or two o'clock. Japanese hirrh school life which is all stud ying is a "grey life," but American students enjoy a "yellow or pink life." Also. we do not date or have pai:ties in my country so my first impression when I came to this country was that America was a "love co untry." This year has been a marvelous experience, living the A mencan · way o f l"f 1 e wit · h my new famil)' and friends.

The club is composed of 2-l- junior and senior girls who greet the public at school-sponsored activities. This year the girls chose official badges which gave the club a distinction. The highlight of the year is the " thank-you" banquet in the spring at which Mr. Owen is h ost on behalf of the school.

With only three returning seniors and two experienced juniors, there were seven positions filled by underclassmen. Despite having a young team, we finished the season with an Inte rcity Conference record of 5 wins and 3 losses. We were also able to make a presentable showing in the tournaments we entered. Ken Eledge took first in the North Invitational, third in Intercity, and second in District competition. Bruce Eilers placed second among "both Intercity and District wrestlers.

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

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

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

Donald Simmons S/ Sgt. Patrick Spiker a nd Military Personnel for R.0.T.C. Co-ordination Busy-busy-busy! ! This describes the R.O.T.C. staff at A.L. A new addition to the staff this year, after the departure of Sfc. Wabel is S/ Sgt. Patrick Spiker. He, M/ Sgt. Lawrence Hale, and S/ Sgt. Donald Simmons are in charge of the training of almost 500 boys. This is quite a task ! They drill the cadets during the year in many fields of military training. The goal all strive for is an "honor rating" at Federal Inspection which is held annually at Kirn Field. Spe· cially designated Army officers review and rate the A.L. Battle Group. This year, along with many school activities to keep them occupied, M/ Sgt. Hale, S/ Sgt. Simmons, and Major Coatney have been mighty busy with their new babies. After a tiring day on the field, these men go home to "mark time" while they "walk the floor" with the "new arrivals." Major Loren C.

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

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

The Baseball Season The Lynx had a fairly good hitting season this yea r but unfortunately their errors were many. As in the past, the Lynx were short when it came to seniors which should mean there will be better teams in the future. A glance at the scoreboard tells the story of the season but fails to picture the fun the team had. 182 SCOREBOARD THEY WE 3 _____ __ ___ __ ___ _ Tri-Cen ter -------------------------------------- ------ 6 8 ___ _____ ________ Bishop Ryan ---------------------------------------- 2 O ______ ___ _______ Elmwood, Nebraska __ _____ ___ _____ ___ _________ _ 8 8 ____________ ___ _ Thomas J efferson -------------------------------- 1 lO _____ ___ __ _____ _ Bishop Ryan -------------------------------------- 3 6 ___ ________ ____ _ Benson ----------------------- --------------------------- 3 6 ___ ______ ____ ___ Thomas Jefferson -------------------------------- 1 4 ____ ___ ___ ____ __ North __ ------------------------------------------------- 0 O __ _____ _____ ____ Treynor ___ ___ ___ __ __ ____ __ ______ ___ ____ _____ ____ _ 13 2 ___ _______ ____ __ South ___ ____ ____ __ __ __ ___ __ __ __ __ __ __ _______ _________ 6 SECTIONAL TOURNAMENT 3 ___ ________ _____ Thomas Jefferson ___ ___ ____ ____ ___ _____ ____ __ _ 4. 3 ___ ___ __ __ ______ Tri-Center ___ __ __ _______ ----------------------------- 4 3 ______________ __ Tech ___ _____ ____________ __ ____ ____ _____ ____ _ _ __ ___ _ 1 7 ________ ___ ___ __ EJk Horn ____ _____ __ __ _ ___ __ _____ ___________ __ __ 5 S _______ ____ _____ P rep _______ ___ ___ ------------------------------------- 4 8 _______ _____ __ __ Westside -------------------------------------------- 1 s _________ ____ ___ Central ------------------------------------------------ 3 The Boys' Golf team consisted ·of Ty Borman, Paul Erickson, John J en sen, Mike McKeown, Dennis Doty, Bob Cheesman, Robert Casper, Dan Walton, Walter Kaltenborn, Ted Morse, John Smith, John Green and Jim Fell.

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