High school has meant many different things to the senior class. As the years pass, we may look back and wonder if perhaps those four years were not the most happy and carefree of our lives.

We'll all remember those first weeks as freshman. The bewildering newness of entering high school seemed almost unbearable at first, but gradually we fell into the routine like veterans. Receiving orders from upper classmen was to be borne without backtalk. If one of us happened to err from the beaten path of submission there was always someone near to put him right back. As we look back, this was an essential part of our development.

We'll remember the football and basketball seasons, the successful and the not so successful alike. When our team was victorious, we were overcome with a contagious exhilaration, and when we lost, although we were temporarily disappointed we never really lost faith in the team.

We'll remember our first prom, the excitement of planning and decorating, and finally the thrill of actually attending a formal banquet and dance.

We'll remember how all our teachers labored trying to teach us the fundamental knowledge we would need in future years. No matter how we neglected our work or refused to take our lessons seriously, they never seemed to lose patience with us.

We'll not forget how Miss Bliss encouraged us when we felt that Latin was impossible to learn, or how Mr. Steele listened sympathetically to all our troubles.

Somehow, all through high school, most of us took for granted that all the things done for us were to be expected rather than appreciated. Then the day we were measured for our caps and gowns, we began to realize that high school was about over for us and how grateful and appreciative we should be to everyone who has worked with us. All the years we've been growing up, we've been receiving from our parents and teachers. Now that we are graduating, the time has come for us to begin giving so that we can, in some measure, repay the debt we owe all those who have helped us on our way.

We, the Seniors of Mt. Ayr High School, wish to welcome each and everyone to our program today. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank our teachers, the school board, and everyone who has helped to make our high school days possible and also those who helped with the little things that furnished pleasure for all during those years such as the Jr.-Sr. prom, the many assembly programs, the jr. play, Senior career day, and many, many others.

I think that most of all we would like to thank our moms and dads who so painstakingly have made it possible for us to be graduating from high school and who will later send us on to college to further our education if we so desire.

We hope very much that you will enjoy the program prepared for you and we wish to than you again for coming.

     The Mount Ayr Raiders had a comparatively successful season last year led by co-captains L. Bishop and J. Skinner and under the supervision of Coach Joe McNeill. By winning 5 out of 9 games, Mount Ayr was co-champions of the Blue Grass Conference. Blue Grass Conference team members from Mt. Ayr were as follows: First team, Kenneth Davenport and Laurance Bishop; Second team, Melvin Ingram and Dean Stuck.

      The football boys were honored with a banquet by the Mt. Ayr Businessmen's Club after their season was completed. The new co-captains for next year - Charles Richards and Clair Eason were introduced.

     The junior high basketball team has played in two tournaments, the county tournament at Kellerton and an invitation tournament at Arispe. They won consolation championship in both tournaments.

     Our band is composed of fifty-five members, thirty-six being in high school and nineteen in the grade school.

     We had the pleasure of wearing our new uniforms at the first football game. These were given to us by a group of interested citizens of the town.

     On October 8, the Osceola and Mt. Ayr bands escorted the Homecoming King and Queen an their attendants to the center of the football field where the crowning ceremony was held.

     We attended the state marching band contest held at Glenwood, receiving a II rating. Alma Lou Graham and Geraldine Galloway were flag swingers at the contest and each received a II rating. Geraldine also received a II rating on her baton twirling.

     The Mt. Ayr Band sponsored a stunt night. The Lion's Club won first prize with a Truth of consequences program. The band cleared approximately $240.

     Mt. Ayr was host to the Fourth Consecutive Annual Blue Grass Conference Jamboree. An eighty-piece massed band played a concert with members of the Mt. Ayr, Lamoni, Leon, Corydon and Osceola bands participating.

     Other activities the members of the band participated in during the year were: The Third National Trail Ride in October; All State Band in Des Moines; The Band Festival held at Creston; the Pre-State Contest for small groups and solos at Corning; the Pre-State Contest for large groups at Red Oak; the Band Clinic at Leon; and the pep band that played at the ballgames.

     One of the nicest things that has happened to help our band throughout the year was the remodeling and sound-treating of our band room.

      There are twelve seniors in the band which is the highest record that has ever graduated at one time from the band since it has been organized under the direction of Mr. Elmore. Nine out of the twelve play first chair music. The twelve seniors are: Carralou Greene, Elizabeth Horne, Shirley Booth, Phyllis Layton, Leota Lovitt, Patty Main, Norma Rees, Jimmy Mahan, Bob Drake, Ed Bryan, Verle Saltzman, Chris Hightshoe.

     The band officers are: President, Carralou Greene; Vice President, Bob Drake; Secretary, Shirley Boothe; Treasurer, Dean Stuck; Librarian, Dorris Toland; Business Manager, Ed Bryan; Reporter, Mary Kay Hetzel; Director, Mr. Oren Elmore.

     In 1937, forty-five shy little children entered first grade, thinking school would be fun. They soon changed their minds. Miss Dorothy Lane was our teacher that year. The ones who learned to read and write were: Georgie Barker, Edwin Bryan, Catherine Conant, Donald Daughton, Paul Cooper, Bonnie Marie Cowell, Margaret Danielson, Marilyn Denhart, Richard Evans, Vincel Ferree, Violet Fulton, Alma Lou Graham, Dean Grindstaff, Paul Hacker, Jr., Marilyn Harvey, Shirley Ann Kaster, Robert Kibbe, Wally Knapp, Patricia Ann Main, Jimmie Mahan, Jakie Michael, James Michael, Ralph Millsap, Rojean Pottorff, Delores Pratt, Charles Richards, Billy Richey, Delores Roers, John Ruckman, Dudley Taylor, LeRoy Taylor, Clifford Teale, Georgia Triggs, Raymond Walter, Harold Warner, Earl Wood, Allen Zentz, Lula Mae Squire, Billy Mercer, Roy Weddle, Junior Barker, Lindy Sheldon, Geraldine Smith, Raymond Hutchison, and LaVaun Telpleton.

     During the first year we lost Delores Rogers, Harold Warner, Allen Zentz, Lula Mae Squire, Junior Barker, LaVaun Templeton, and Jakie Michael.

     Miss Georgia Allyn taught us to add and subtract in the second grade. Norma Jean Bear, Edward Minnick, Marlene Peterson, Lester Updike, Wanda Hohn, Evelyn Skinner, and Billy Gaule came into our midst that year. Roy Weddle, Ralph Millsap, and Georgie Barker were either left behind or moved.

     Richard Lindstrom, Parielee Tennant, Leota Lovitt, and Phyllis Layton became acquainted with Miss Gladys Surface, our third grade teacher. We lost the companionship of Robert Kibbe.

      No new pupils were added in the fourth grade but we lost Richard Evans, Paul Hacker, Charles Richards, and Wanda Jean Hohn.

     Miss Hazel Rawlings watched the coming of the following pupils in the fifth grade: Sylvia Potter, Duane Breon, Violet Catherman, Verladean Adams, George Gibson, Sharlie Jackson, Jim Skinner, Elizabeh Horne, and Bonnie Monday. Bonnie Cowell, Wally Knapp, Sylvia Potter, Duane Breon, Violet Catherman, Verladean Adams, Georgia Triggs, and Dick Lundstrom were lost, most of them never to be regained.

      Laurance Bishop, Robert Drake, Vernon Hacker, Louise Maggard, Chris Hightshoe, and Max Herrington, being new pupils, soon learned the ways of Mrs. Barron, our sixth grade teacher. George Gibson, Raymond Hutchinson, Louise Maggard, James Michael, Rojean Pottrff, Doris Pyle, Gaylord Pyle, and Jim Skinner left us to become some other teachers' problems.

     Melvin Davis, Kenneth Davis, Norma Rees, Margaret Pikens, Daryl Holden, and Patty Main were the new pupils added to the seventh grade class with which Miss Moore had to contend. Vernon Hacker and Betty Roach were dropped that year.

     Richard Lindstrom, Wiley Webb, Carralou Greene, Shirley Boothe, Jim Skinner, and Bill Smith were welcomed by Miss Florence Whitehead to the eighth grade. She also bid good-bye to Sharlie Jackson and Bill Smith the same year. At last high school lay before us.

      Our freshman year started with the following pupils: Iona Baker, Laurance Bishop, Shirley Bear, Shirley Boothe, Dean Brand, Edwin Bryan, Bud Butler, Loren Campbell, Bonnie Cowell, Kenneth Davenport, Melvin Davis, Kenneth Davis, Marilyn Denhart, Bob Drake, Donald Daughton, Vincel Ferree, Lloyd Glendenning, Alma Lou Graham, Carralou Green, Dean Grindstaff, Daryl Holden, Elizabeth Horne, Chris Hightshoe, Melvin Ingram, Elbert Irving, Shirley Kaster, Richard Kirby, Erwin Liles, Iola Liles, Dick Lindstrom, Leota Loviett, Louise Maggard, Jim Mahan, Pat Main, Margaret Pickens, Jim Pottorff, Norma Rees, Beth Richardson, John Ruckman, Verle Saltzman, Tom Sheumaker, Jim Skinner, Lonnie Slavik, Margaret Turner, Wiley Webb, Roy Weddle, Terry Swift, and Betty Pearce.

     During the freshman year Garvin Naylor and Belle Sickels came to Mount Ayr High School. Shirley Bear left us for another school.

     The sophomore year began with the coming of Catherine Conant, Phyllis McClelland, Harold Cooper, and Phyllis Woldruff.

     Billy Garner was welcomed into the junior class of 1947.

     The senior class of 1948 saw the coming of Bob Ross and Walter Pritchard, and the leaving of Melvin Davis. And so stands the senior class:

     One day as I sat gazing into my crystal ball my mind wandered back to the year of "40" when I graduated from Mt. Ayr, High, along with fifty others.

     The first one I saw was Iona Baker. As you know she's always proved herself a good driver. Now we see Iona behind the wheel demonstrating new cars. I wonder if it's a Dodge!!!!!!

      Speaking of cars, yes there was Jim Pottorff. At last he has become the "big wheel" --- a patrolman.

      As I gazed farther into my crystal ball who should appear by Phyllis McClelland? She is the manager of a "Q Club" in Wyoming, which is for women. Phyllis Layton is her assistant manager.

      Next I see Daryl Holden. He is at K. R. N. T. in television. It seems he left his position as a "soda jerk" to Dean Brand. Good luck, Dean.

      Shirley Kaster is giving diving lessons in the Grand River. We find she has quite a class of handsome boys.

     I find Buddy Butler is now living at Grant City operating the Seymore farm. Buddy was a great fan of Grant City's during his high school days. Wonder why??????

      Bonnie Cowell is in Colorado running a souvenir shop. Yes, she finally decided to sell all the salt shakers she had collected during her school days.

     Loren Campbell has a little shop in Idaho called "Reduce your Weight by Eating Campbell's Soup." I wonder why he chose such a profession.

      Donald Daughton is a Veterinarian at the Animal Hospital in Des Moines. Yes, Donald always did have so much love for animals.

     Next, I see Shirley Boothe. She decided Mt. Ayr was the place for her. She is still doing office work besides being a good housewife.

     Tom Sheumaker is the next one I see in my crystal ball. Tom was the most bashful boy in the senior class but now he is married and has two little "Toms" besides being a professor at Drake University.

      Roy Weddle is still in Hollywood trying to appear in movies with Roy Rogers. Keep working, Roy.

      Cathy Conant, the valedictorian of our class, is also in Hollywood acting as a model. Yes, she said farewell to a certain Tingley boy long ago.

     Melvin Ingram is running a bowling alley in Chicago. It seems he hasn't got the dairy off his mind as he's using milk bottles for pins.

      Bob Drake is a bachelor. When Bob was in school he never did like the girls. (He just had one in every town, sometimes two).

     Belle Sickels is still posing for pictures. She is married now to a former basketball star and has two little blond-headed girls.

     Walter Pritchard is running a beauty shop giving tonis. His customer at the moment is Verle Saltzman, whom we know better as "Epzine".

     Beth Richardson is going to college at Drake. Yes, she finally gave up her red head at Mt. Ayr and has found a new one. How about that Jimmy? Jimmy Skinner is also attending Drake.

     Jimmy Mahan is surrounded by girls; it seems he is running a burlesque show now. He left his position as a "soda-jerk" to Dean Grindstaff. Good luck to you, too, Dean.

     Margaret Turner and Laurance Bishop are married and live down at Mt. Ayr. Margaret is the home-economics teacher and Laurance is their football and basketball coach. Good luck, kids.

     Iola Liles is in Denver, Colorado, at Mammoth Gardens doing figure skating. With her is another member of our class, Margaret Pickens, who is still trying to lose those extra pounds on roller skates.

     Elbert Irving is spending his time as a boxer. He is now at Madison Square Gardens ready to tangle with Billy Conn. Come on, Elbert, let's be the second Joe Louis.

     Going further down my line, I find Phyllis Woldruff and Marilyn Denhart in Oregon. Yes, their husbands are still hanging on the R. E. A. line.

     Chris Heightshoe owns and operates a dairy farm near Mount Ayr. Chris was a very active 4-H member in his high school days and has a special room for all his ribbons, etc. that he has won.

     Richard Kirby, our senior class president, is the superintendent of schools at Bedford. He isn't married as I guess the women doesn't seem to interest him. Not that much, anyway.

     Elizabeth Horne is married and living on a farm near Marshalltown. I wonder who the lucky farmer is.

     I see Vencel Ferree is showing on the screen in the new prize-winning film, "Too Many Blondes". Seeing Vencel I thought of Lloyd Glendenning who always had a crush on blondes. My crystal ball says he's running a gas station. I wonder where, Creston or Grant City??????

     John Ruckman (the blushing one in our class) is living in Shannon City operating a theater. I wonder why it's Shannon City, maybe because of a former sophomore girl.

      Ed Bryan is working for the Sealy Mattress Company. I guess Ed finally decided mattresses were better for sleeping on then desks------Right, Ed?

     Norma Rees, the salutatorian of our class, is in Des Moines working as a stenographer. She is drawing good wages and is not spending any of it on men. Good idea, Norma.

     Ervin Liles is working in a canning factory in Washington. I guess his girl from Kellerton has joined him now.

     Dick Lindstrom is a magazine salesman traveling all over the U. S. Dick seems to be enjoying this work since he gets first chance at all comic books.

     Alma Lou Graham is working as a Bell Telephone operator in Des Moines. It doesn't cost anything to call to Creston now does it, "Louie."

     Bob Ross is a scientist. At the moment he is trying to find out of what the atomic bomb is made. (Be careful, Bob.)

      I see Wiley Webb has just been crowned for the title of "Mr. America." Keep up the good work, Wiley.

     Billy Garner is in Florida giving dancing lessons to all the girls.

     Patty Main is now living in Montana. She spends her time hunting, fishing and competing against the opposite sex. Good luck, Patty.

     Kenneth Davenport has settled down in Illinois, and he is teaching school. He is a good coach and has an excellent football team.

     Harold Cooper is in California. He owns a new convertible and uses it as a taxi for beautiful women. Of course there is a cheap taxi fare for the women but it's expensive for the men.

     Leota Lovitt has left Mount Ayr and has moved to San Diego, California.

     Looking again in the crystal ball, I see a skirt go flying past. I need not look the second time because no one else could rush quite like Carralou Greene. I still see her rushing from place to place trying to decide which man she really prefers.

     The last thing that my crystal ball tells me is that Louise Maggard is in Texas where she is showing all the girls how to become bronco riders. As yet she hasn't been thrown and the cowboys there admire her technique.

No matter where we wander from home and Mount Ayr High,
The mem'ries we take with us will never, never die.

A few of these mem'ries we have written here
To remind us of days, which to us, were very dear.

The secretary of the class, Norma Rees,
Where 'ere she's seen she's busy as the bees.

Catherine Conant, better known as "Cathy,"
When it comes to cheerleading, she's a dandy!

Margaret Pickens plans to go to A. I. B.
And then a secretary she hopes to be.

A snappy cheerleader is Belle Sickels
Who's always causing giggles.

The smaller of the class is Patty Main,
We hope never to see her walking with a cane.

If you want your F. F. A. work done well,
Call on Erwin Liles, Chris Hightshoe, or Loren Campbell.

One of the more popular blue-eyed boys is Jim Mahan,
We'll remember him as leader of the band.

Leota Lovitt, you probably know her as "Billie"
Ask just anyone, she's a dilly!

In future years, if it's legal advice you're wantin'
Just take your troubles to Don Daughton.

Three senior girls who always have smiles,
Are Iona Baker, Louise Maggard, and Iola Liles.

Are football heroes your favorite sport?
Then look for Mel Ingram and Kenney Davenport.

Vincel Ferree, a short blue-eyed blond,
Of a certain senior boy, she's really quite fond.

Two boys are bashful as they come,
Are Dean Brand and Dick Lindstrom.

Giggles, giggles, no matter where you am,
Responsible are Beth Richardson and Alma Graham.

Another member of the "51" is Carralou Greene,
When playing a baritone she's always on the beam.

When a sub-teacher is needed in a hurry,
There is always a call for Richard Kirby.

Two senior boys who will each make a quiet man,
Are Wiley Webb and Verle Saltzman.

When it comes to coaching a junior high basketball team,
Laurance Bishop is right there on the beam.

Boys who are quite meek when it comes to questioning,
Are Dean Grindstaff and Elbert Irving.

Our junior class president, Harold Cooper,
Really did the job up super-duper.

If at a party jokes are at a loss,
Just look around for Robert Ross.

When it come to knowing out-of-town boys faster,
There's none quicker than blue-eyed Shirley Kaster.

Two senior boys, Roy Weddle and Lloyd Glendenning,
The best things in life, we hope they will be winning.

If in class a snore you hear,
You know Ed Bryan is somewhere near.

Some of the senior boys have hopes of being a farmer,
Among them are Tom Sheumaker, John Ruckman and Billy Garner.

When things are dull and need a good start,
Look for Phyllis McClelland and Marilyn Denhart.

A person who keeps the crowd in a howl,
Is little brown-eyed Bonnie Cowell.

When blond hair is up for debatin'
Don't forget our Phyllis Layton.

If its a ride to Grant City you're a lookin' fer,
Just ask Jim Pottorff and Buddy Butler.

When it comes to studying and all that stuff,
We think of Margie Turner and Phyllis Woldruff.

If the passion for a malt you are holdin'
Go to the Rexall and ask for Daryl Holden.

When we hear a saxophone horn,
We know is it played by Lizzie Horne.

Are you looking for a waiter to serve you a "Glen-Echo" dinner?
Then look for Bob Drake and Jim Skinner.

A senior boy who is a shorthand wizard,
Is none other than Walter Pritchard.

And now you've head about our class,
In sketches done in rhyme.

What's left unsaid,
We'll have to leave until another time.

We the class of 49'ers,
We are going on our way.
We are thankful for our teachers
And the memories of our stay.

All our singers, football winners,
F.F.A. and band too.
Tri-Hi-Y and all our Boosters
Brought home fame for Black and Blue.

White and lavender are our colors
And our flower is the rose.
And the future of our members
Lies on the motto that we chose.

To the students left in high school,
Always keep the spirit up.
This advice we give to you
And we wish you all good luck.

Marilyn Denhart
Phyllis McClelland
