DEDICATION

We, the graduating class of 1955, which to dedicate this annual, with respect and appreciation to the taxpayers, parents and friends who have made it possible for us to have Lockwood Elementary and Lockwood Jr High schools. We know that the undergraduates will enjoy it as much as we have.

FORWARD

We, the 9th grade class of Lockwood Junior High School, present you our first edition of the “Freshman Yearly” of 1954 - 1955. This annual is a record of the activities which took place through the years. It is another chapter in the history of Lockwood Jr High School.

A WORD FROM THE OFFICE

In my opinion the 9th grade class of our Junior High School deserves congratulations on taking the initiative and having the inventiveness to produce such a booklet as this. I am sure they have had many worthwhile experiences and working it out, and I'm also sure that they will enjoy reading it several years from now. The memories of Years Gone by are always Pleasant ones, especially of our school days, and this publication will help make those memories all the more vivid as you browse through it. It is my wish that all the members of a Lockwood Junior High School 9th grade of 1954-1955 continue on to a happy successful life. Good luck to you all!

CLASS POEM

Here's to the Class of ‘55

The Wonder is, they're still alive!

Some of their antics were funny to me,

On this point perhaps we all agree.

Oh, they're smart enough,

‘Cept in that thinking stuff.

And fair weather or rain

They're pretty nice gang.

They're serious, but sophisticated:

Mr. Leone wishes they’d get educated.

They get happy and sad

And funny and mad,

But all in all

( Who isn’t a cad?)

The Lord loves them all;

Large fat, and small.

Best wishes to you

In whatever you do

..... Mary L. Beck

AN EDITORIAL

In a few short years we will inherit the responsibility of choosing between two great opposing forces; communism or democracy. What we plan and what we do will have a great influence on the future generations of this country and of the whole world, so we must become strong in mind to cope with the difficulties that will arise. For the enemy does not, in most cases, fight with tank and gun, but with quiet whispers and printer’s type. We must, through education, sift the truth from the false if we, as Americans, have hopes of ever winning such a war of words.

CLASS HISTORY

The teachers of the ninth grade classes of 1954-1955 have been Miss Hillner, Mrs. Eller, Mrs. Meaker, Mrs. Guy, Mrs. Green, Mr. Boswers, Mrs. Mondt, Mrs. Peterson, and Mr. Leone. The group that had all of these teachers are Mary L. Beck, Phyllis Becker, Gary Fair, Joyce Forrester, Gary Seiffert, and Errol Seiffert. The schools where this class has attended are Central, Pinehill, the Fairgrounds, Lockwood Elementary and the Lockwood Junior High School. The class consists of 32 students and to our usual schedule we have band, basketball, track and several clubs. For the past several years we have gone on field trips to different points of interest.

THE CLASS PROPHECY

Someone has just taken their dog to Joyce Forresters hospital for pets for a broken leg and now both Joyce and the dog are in bed.

There's a lot of excitement in the next town. It's in the paper and over the radio. What you ask? While it's Steve Mickulin, secret agent for the FBI who has just captured one of the most dangerous gangs in the United States. Everybody used to say that he had a nose for news.

Mary Lou Beck is talking to a friend in a restaurant. She's been very busy preparing for a test for her students. They have one about every other day.

Oh look who made the headlines! Gary Seiffert has just discovered a medicine which is 95% sure cure for heart disease. Everyone used to say his brain would do something great someday.

Oh, oh, looks like the boss Marianne Kemph works for is steaming mad. Let's listen in. No wonder she sent the letter for the Peach Canning Company to the Pear Canning Company!

Who's that in the hospital all bandaged up? Why it's Joe Banderob and he's jumping all over the bed. The nurse just gave him a shot. He wrecked his plane trying to do tricks.

I wonder who that is Wheeling a baby buggy? It has some cute twins in it. Why it's Meredith Wilhelm.

Well , there's Belva Shrader in a white uniform and taking care of Mrs. Mondt. At least she kept your promise. She said if Mrs. Mondt ever got sick she’d care for her.

There's a big fire in the forest. - - Look who's helping put it out Ronald Johnson. He sure is working hard. Whoops, he's on fire! He's running. He jumped into the lake. Oh, oh, he forgot he can't swim.

Phyllis Beck is in the office next door. she's a very hard-working girl. Look at all the work piled up around her. She'll be busy the rest of her life.

Looks like Betty Stapleton has a nice job in a large office building. She's off on a convention. She met quite a few of her friends there and had lunch.

Page 9

THE CLASS PROPHECY CONTINUED

Omar Rudolph is doing fine. He's making quite a bit of money. He raises acres and acres of corn and potatoes. He'll be a millionaire by the time he's through.

Pat Pierson is doing just the opposite of Omer. A hailstorm just ruined his crop. But he hasn't given up. But my gosh! If these hail storms keep up he'll be ruined too.

It looks like Billy Quesenberry has been doing fine in his past few years of existence. He has his own engineering school now.

Donald Baird, after about 2 or 3 years of work, has finally gotten himself a corporation in mechanical engineering. This is one job he never slipped up on. Wonder if he's married yet?

Darryl Moore is doing about as good as Donald Baird. You see they are in Partnership. He helped share the profits and mostly the losses.

Dolores Cervantes is working for one of the richest man in the world. Wow! You should see her paycheck. It's a Dilly. This is only the beginning. Wait till the raises come. She'll pass him up.

Judy is doing. She is. She is trying to do some of her own work and help Phyllis Becker do some of hers.

We now see our missionary, Diane Crockett, over in Japan. She is having quite a time trying to learn the language. Although she knows the Bible well, hellos and goodbyes don't come easy.

Errol Seifert has a big week farm down in Kansas. He sings to keep the bugs away from his crop.

Betty Crable Works in a small office in California. Even though the office is small it takes a lot of paper and if the paper companies don't watch out, she'll buy the clear out of it.

Jimmy Regina just got through laying a carpet in a big house. But he has to take it up and do it all over again because he forgot to take the carpet tacks out from under the rug and they are liable to stick someone.

Wow! Look at that well dressed man over there with a dark sunglasses on. Why it's Jerry Heagle. Guess what? He's a movie star.

We see Harold Morse swabbing the deck. He has been on KP since he joined the Navy. Every once in awhile he gets a little sea-sick.

A new Edward R. Murrow has been discovered. It is our own boy Bob Sloat. Listen for him on KRTX radio station.

Gary Fair, the world's greatest bridge-builder, is now at work fixing the San Francisco Bay Bridge. Whoops!! That crack was too big! He fell in. Have a nice landing Gary.

Page 10

CLASS PROPHECY CONTINUED

David Wagner, who is now an errand boy, is working in the Capitol Building. He didn't qualify for President.

Who's that crying? It's Billy Kober and he's peeling onions. He's on KP you know.

Look at that huge beautiful house. I think I'll look at the mailbox and see who lives there. It says Gary Larson. He must have designed it himself.

Floyd Harper Owns 20,000 head of cattle and many other kinds of animals. He now lives in Michigan.

Robert Brodersen, down in Nebraska, owns so many animals he doesn't know what to do with them. If he doesn't watch out, he'll get lost.

Barry Corneliuson is busy in a small county hospital operating as usual. He works pretty hard at it.

RADIO BROADCAST REPORT

Last year from the 9th grade several pupils were selected from the class to give a broadcast over the PA system in our school. These students planned and performed a broadcast every Friday. This year we tried it out again. The broadcast didn't get started until December. Mary Lou Beck was chosen as the chairman of the committee, and the other members were Diane Crockett, Belva Shrader, David Wagner, Donald Baird, Bob Sloate, Joyce Forrester, and Meredith Wilhelm. The committee, when set up, decided on arrangement so that everyone would have a chance at all of the departments for the broadcast. We decided to have the world news, local news, sports, gossip, school news, announcer, and guests each week. The guest telling what was going on in his or her homeroom.

On our first broadcast we gave a contest for a name or call letters for our program. We selected an entry from Mrs. Thomas's 8th grade which was L. S./M. F. T, which means Lockwood School Means Fine Teaching. After a few broadcast we decided that Bob Sloate would be the permanent world news speaker. The others kept on interchanging. We then decided to have advertisements and some music.

Our broadcast turned out to be successful. In the middle of April, Mary Lou Beck decided to change some of the members and add-on new ones. Dolores Cervantes, Betty Stapleton, Steve Mickulin, and Robert Brodersen were added and David Wagner, Meredith Wilhelm, and Donald Baird dropped out.

DEAR OLD CLASS OF “55”

We, the Class of “55”,

Have prepared for any fight

Learned our lessons, wrote our themes

Answered questions in several means,

For good school work we always tried,

This we did with greatest pride.

We, the Class of “55”,

Have learned to labor and to strive,

Learned to honor and obey,

Learned to study and to play,

For our days here were not in vain,

Useful knowledge did we gain.

God bless our class of “55”

In “Graduation” from Lockwood High;

Make us worthy, kind, and true;

Direct us God all all life through,

For these blessings, thanks to thy name,

All of us Lord, we pray the same.
