A special thanks to one Mary Cathryn Roberts who worked diligently on a scrap book during the 1932-33 school year. This book was very well cared for and preserved in a manner that I was recently able to purchase it to use on the IAGENWEB site.  All items will not be used,  Items with special interest will be added along with photographs.  What a wonderful gift Mary Cathryn has provided for the children and grandchildren of those who graduated in 1933.

 

Dear Cathryn,

As this is my last day of school here, I'm so excited  I can hardly think what to say.  Please write to me, Cathryn, and come our and visit us.

(Remember the foot ball games that we have gone to together).

Love, Carol (Standley)

 

Dear Cathryn,

I guess we ought to know each other by this time, oughtn't we, Cathryn, after having gone to school together for twelve long years.

Remember all of the good times we have had together - especially at Woodbine-  Wishing success and happiness in the future, I remain an old friend and classmate.

Mavis (Collis)

 

Dear Kate,

Sy- I don't know how to start out but it shouldn't bother me much as we write about 2000 words in notes to each other everyday.

But, I still think your wrong about me raiding your supply of paper every week because it's only every other week-(I'm out of paper today)-so you'd better be on guard.

I was just looking at the sport section in your book.  It's quite complete.  Now about giving me that Boone game kid.  I'd like to have it.  I'm just darn near out of paper Sooooo

This photo was not glued in like the others.  Found on Gladys' page.  If you can identify this person please contact me.

Dear Cathryn,

I am puzzled as what to write in this book for I am sure that you will remember all are good times together without them being written down.  But there's wishing you all the success and happiness in the future.

As Ever,

Gladys (Junker)

 

Hi Roberts-

I was just thinking that our school days in G.H.S. are about over-Bo Hoo-

I would take more than this book to tell of our good times these twelve years.

Don't forget how we like to ride in the rain though.

Sincerely,

Dick Moorhouse

 

Dearest Cathryn,

As you've handed me this book to scribble in I hardly know what to write but as we all know are high school days are nearly over and I regret it very much because I'm sure we've all have some very good times especially the last two years.  Remember the 3 flat tires going to Lake View>  and the night we went to Woodbine?  I'm wishing you the best of success and happiness.

Your friend and Classmate,

Ruby Black

 

Dearest Cathryn,

I can hardly believe our school days are almost over and I'm sure we've had some wonderful times together.

Remember the summer in Iowa City.  What did we do and whatall did we see?  Also, remember the buggy ride.  Who were the horses and where did we go?

I'm wishing you success and happiness in the future, always.

A friend and classmate,

Virginia Riedesel

 

Dear Cathryn,

I don't know much to say but I never will forget the time we passed you coming home from Lake View and then you had a flat tire.  HaHa

We've been together in ole G. H. S. for the last two years and wish there were more but I guess that's not possible so I wish you the best of Luck and Happiness.

Your Old friend and Classmate,

Mike Gregory

 

Dear Cathryn,

You kinda took me by surprise, but I'll do the best I can.  The time is really around when we seniors will not be together.  I guess these are the good old days after all.

Don't forget the "Old Nord" in the park, when you stuck your head through the back window.  Ha Ha!

Wishing you lots  of luck and Happiness.

I remain your friend and Classmate,

 

Paul Christian  "IKE"

 

Dear Cathryn,

I don't know hardly what to write but we sure haven't got much school left.  I wish we had about 4 more years.  Remember Woodbine?  What a night for a murder.  I wish you a lot of success and happiness. 

Your friend,

 

Wayne Fisher

 

Dear Cathryn,

It looks like about the last lap for us in old G. H. S. We have had some swell times together.  Remember all the good old class parties in about five weeks we don't' have to be laboring over Lit will we?  I wish we had about four more years to play football for old G. H. S.  I wish you all the luck and Happiness in the world.

Your Clasmate,

Keith Dingman "KED"  "DINGY"

 

Cathryn,

Is that the correct way to spell it?  Well, I'm like all the rest, I don't know what to write about.  But always remember the class parties and the bob sled parties-especially.  Also, remember your Eng. It and Sociology-Prof's gone.  Have lots of fun while life lasts because it's awfully short.

A Freind,

Carrol M. Standley  "SPEC"

 

Dear Cathy:

Since this is the firs time (?) I ever write in your memory book, I'm very nervous.  But this should be the important one, because it's our last year in school together.  It seems now like we will never forget the good times we've had, but let this be a reminder to you (in case you do forget) of the class parties, BB games, etc.  we've gone to.  And best of all, don't' forge the parties and Junker's.  Those were the good times-alh! La! La!  and BB training (!).  I'd like to add my wished for a happy life for you, to the best of those who have already signed their names before. 

Very Sincerely,

Lois McDonald "MAX"

 

 

Dear Kate:

I can't think of anything very important to write, but I will scribble among the rest of the "class of 1933".  We have and many good times together since we first  "crossed the bar" into the first grade and emerged a 'finished product" twelve years later.  Remember our good times at the long ago parties.

 

As Ever,

Craig Leonard "33"

 

Dearest Cathryn,

I am certain that this book could not begin to hold all the good times that you have enjoyed with me.  Especially just after I moved to town.  Remember?  I am wishing for you all the success and happiness in your future life that is possible to wish, Cathryn,  And I sincerely hope you become a "Keen" teacher of Home Economics.

Your friend,

Dorothy Thorne

Don't forget our struggles in basketball with Miss Smith to push us along!  And should I remind you of "pig-Squeal?"

 

Dear Cathryn,

Well Cathryn our 4 years of High School Together is about over.  No, More motes in Sociology Class. And don't forget the bridge game at Junker's part.  Ha

I can not think so I'll scribble this!  Blue water may between us roll and distant be our lot  But if we should fail to meet again.  Dear friend forget me not.

Your Friend and Classmate,

Glenn Smith  "Buzz"

 

Dear Cathryn:

As everybody has been saying- our school days will soon draw to a close.

I have enjoyed sitting beside you in classes and in the assembly.  It seems like I have known you since we were in the grades but it has only been fro the last two years.

I will draw to a close hoping that you succeed in all your undertakings and hope you have a very successful life.

Lots of good luck,

Myron Gregory

P.A. Here's hoping we may continue our friendship after our school days are over.  Mary

 

Dear Cathryn,

My mind is rather a blank as usual and I don't know what to write.  Of course, as you know and so many have already told you, our school days together are almost over.

You and I have had some good times together, haven't we?  Remember the night we ate popcorn and candy in bed?   What did you gibe me afterwards?  Peenamint!  (??)Did we get up in the morning?  Not at all.

Wishing you luck and success

I remain your friend,

 Helen La Mont

 

I have enjoyed having you in my classes, Cathryn and would like to think of you retaining your smiling ways.  Best wishes to you always.

Yvonne Rascoe Commercial 1931-33

 

Miss Cathryn,

Here is the wish that your days may be filled with the fragrance and balm of the April days upon us.  Don't tussle too long and too hard with the defines questions of government and sociology.

Always best wishes,

A.W. Moore

 

Dear Cathryn,

You are to be admired and congratulated for high school graduation with such a splendid recons.  I enjoyed Home Economics.  i hope your plans for marring in it will be developed. 

I hope you have success in whatever you enter.

Sincerely,

Mae

 

Dear Catheryn:

When I look back over the many years that we have known each other, may pleasant memories come flocking back to make life a little happier because of you.  You were such a little girl when I first knew you, and now you are so capable and well advanced that I can't help but say with the hero in "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm."  Happy to know the child, Charmed to know the girl, Longing to know the woman." 

Love,

Emma Johnson

 

Dearest Cathryn,

Since you asked me to write in this, I suppose it is my duty to do so even though I don't have my shorthand etc. Ha.  All the same I hardly think I need to remind you of the good times we have had in Bus. Eng. class last semester and Eng. Gram. class this Semester.  (Dad?) My! My!  those notes!!  Miss Max will probably be glad when she can dismiss that class for good.  Well guess I must stop now.  "I'M your" til cows give shaving cream!" 

Always remember me as a friend,

Claris (Simcox)

 

Dear Cathryn,

I will always remember you, as a gay, young girl.  I know you will alway remember 1933, as our last and happiest year in G. H. S.   I will close wishing you the best that life can affored, including health.  As you read this verse in your little book,

Away back here in this secure nook.  and as you dream of the happy days gone by;

may you always smile and never sigh.

Your Friend,

Helen Harshbarger

 

Dear Cathryn,

This is not very good writing but maybe you can remember me by it.  For this is our last year in old G. H. S. together.

Remember all the good times we had together at parties.

Your Friend,

Donald Haggard

 

 

1933 Class Invitation for Commencement

 

Reads: "Our Ma and Pa" (Ha Ha)

 

 

Dear Cathryn,

In a few more weeks our school days will be over and we will have gone to school together for twelve years.

I shall always remember you as a girl who likes to teach so very much.

I haven't known what to say as I should probably say it. But I'm sure you will need no reminder to remember me as the only girl who ever behaved in her class. Oh yes!  I've always been a perfect angel.  I have always thought you were a lively young lady and I still think so.

I wish you all the luck and success your family can get in your future life.  May you get the best there is for you in life.

Your Schoolmate and Friend,

Alta Trafford

 

Dear Cathryn,

Remember the song 10 more months and eleven more days.  Well we'll remodel it into 4 more weeks and 3 more days.

I wonder if you remember the second week of Jan. 9 years ago.  I do, because I started to school then.  Your friendship made things look brighter then and it still does.

Wishing you success and happiness.

Your loving schoolmate,

Alice Hamilton            Did we go to Ames?  Did it rain? And How

 

Dear Cathryn,

I have not always been one of your class mates but I have known you ever since you started to school.  I shall always remember you as the girl who graduated from our class with the greatest handicap.

My best wishes for success go with this.

Your Classmate,

Ida Trafford

 

Dear Kate,

It's quite an honor to write in this book.  Although I have only known you for what two years, we are pretty good friends, even if we do fight once in a while.  I will always remember those slaps you have given me, so I will have you this to remember me.

Yours till cows give cheese,

Grant Barnes

 

Dear Cathryn,

I don't know any poems so will just say we have been classmates for 4 years and will be for 4 weeks more.  I hate to spoil any more paper so will sign off.

Your Classmate,

Daune Shiver

 

Dear Cathryn,

I hate to spoil this page with my scribblin'. but you asked for it, and here it is.  I think I'll remember some of those tricks you played on me, they nearly made a wreck of me.  Wishing you lots of happiness I am.

Your Classmate,

Lester Seeden

 

Dear Cathryn,

We have gone together the last four years of school together which been best schooldays.  I will always remember the good times we have had at dances and parties.  I wish you happiness and success in life.

Your classmate,

Ilene Loeschen (Fern)

 

Dear Cathryn,

Ain't much to look at, and thinks nothing to me, but I sure hope you're always remember me.

Remember the time Gasner, you and I went to a part on my green truck and the fun we had when we came home.  That is only one of the many good times we had together, and I hope that it is only the beginning of a great number of them.  I am getting dry so I had better go git some 3.2% beer, but I want to wish you joy and happiness for the future.

Your Classmate and Friend,

Wm. Stricker (Bill)

 

Dear Cathryn,

The four years at Glidden High School have been very enjoyable to me with you and the rest of the classmates.

Your Friend,

Russell White

 

Dearest Cathie,

Gee I'm glad you asked me to write in your book,  Makes me think how important our school days really are.  Isn't it funny we never have as much fun anyplace as we do in school- trying to get our lessons all the tine and have a good time to boot.  "Ain't we got fun" I'll certainly miss it when I'm gone thought, won't you?  When we are through high school and move away so we can't see each other every day I hope you'll look at this page every once in a while and think about your ol' classmates.

Love,

Peggy

Margrett M. Roe

 

Dear Cathryn,

It's hard to expect this book to hold all experiences and parties we have had, but nevertheless I might remind you of two things.  The experiences of you, Dorothy, and myself with Hammock- and your good times with "Piggy".  Don't forget me as a friend Cathryn.

Lots of luck your friend,

Wayne (Tate) Morris

 

Dear Cathryn,

It has been a pleasure to me to examine this book of yours.  Already nearly full of expression of friendship and remembrances of school friends.  I can see that you value friendship and because of this I know that you have found one of the enduring pleasures of life.  It has been a pleasure to know you and these friends of yours.  May these and other associations of friendship be to you a constant and reminding source of enjoyment.

Sincerely,

H. Phillips

 

Dear Cathryn,

It is certainly a pleasure to write in this wonderful book of yours.

I really don't know what we Sophs. and Jr's. will do without this class of "33" cause I am sure your the life of the school.  I will always remember you by the good old time we have had together, and those old pictures I have of us when we were on our journey for a picnic.  I really must apologize for the way I didn't go to church with you the night of party, but I didn't feel very religious so didn't.

Yours Ever,

Jean Sebern

 

Dear Cathryn,

I have enjoyed these twelve years of school with you and all the rest of the class.  We started up this long road together and have stayed so to the last.  School will soon be out now and what ever we do we will make good.  I whish you all the good luck in the world, Cathryn.

Sincerely,

Jolene Lothrey  "Butch"

 

Dearest Cathryn:

It certainly has been a pleasure to have known you these last two years.  It would be impossible to forget a few of the good times we have had together.  I hope you will never forget the football games we attended and who was your Ma and Pa. Ha. I guess we won't forget it.  Remember the nite of commercial Club.  What did we have for supper?  Oh! Boy! Wasn't it good-  What about the nite we went out sliding. Ha! Where did we slide most of the time.  Remember the time we went to Carroll on the train, and the side walk was rather slippry-  Did Cathryn Fall Down?  Oh! No!  Did I laugh?  Of course not I never do.  Did you ever take a step in the bath room?  Oh Nooo!!!!  My space is nearing an end.  I will finish by wishing the most success and Happiness you could possibly have-

Your Pal,

Marie McDonald
