'JKe’K.udey, f956-57 I *Dedceati<Hi This last Black and Gold is dedicated to W. L. Paxson, McKinley principal and friend for twenty years. Mr. Paxson has consistently worked to adapt the educational program to the abilities and interests of various students. His office door stood open to the student needing advice, friendly encouragement, or a reprimand. The new students were warmly greeted by a busy principal, who made them feel McKinley was their school. 'W&at "^04 'ifya/ifaetiecC at 20 "fy&asui? Can it be true this is the last year McK will be a senior high school? What are the traditions McK has developed? What are the highlights of McK's past? Is it possible that twenty years have gone so quickly? McK was built in 1922-23 as a junior high school. Miss Prescott served as its only junior high principal. In 1934-35 McK's capacity was doubled, and it became a senior highschool. Mr. Scott Hallman was its first senior high principal and Mr. W. L. Paxson served for the next twenty years. The last three years he has been assisted by Mr. L. D. Hahn. One of the traditions that still lingers at McK from its junior high days is that of Grant Wood who taught here in 1924-25. In '47 a social hall named after G. W. was dedicated. The drawing "Tree Planting" is outstanding among the room decorations. The mourners' bench, a practical piece of work which has found its way from the principal's office to the G. W. R., bears the inscription "The way of the transgressor is hard." Everyone loved Grant's friendliness. On the car that he drove to school, he had an automatic hand to signal his turning direction so he could protect his own hand. One winter day students were delighted to see a mitten on the signal hand to keep it warm.
In 1939 Mr. Peterson, a McK teacher, set up our present guidance program. Under this program and the long lunch hour, the students were able to have noon dances and intramural volleyball tournaments. Then the teachers got tired of some students roaming the halls and decided to lock them out. In '48 McK began short lunch hours and meal shifts. Sfyd&lt With the increase in the amount of time spent at school, the number of clubs at McK in- creased. In 1937 the Activity Council, better known as the Student Council, got its start. It met twice a week with one representative from each class. The Council has served as the guid- ing body of McK. The Iron Horse Club for model train lovers was popular as a hobby club at McK during the forties. A golden spike was laid to open the circuit called the C. R. and N. W. Another club, the McK Hi-Y Ette, now called the Y-Teen, received recognition in the Y.W.C.A. National Report for being a model club in their Junior Red Cross Project. . s. American Field Service has played an important role in McK's past. In 1950, Irene Kurth of Coburg, Germany, became the first of a long list of foreign exchange students at McK. Later came Peter Lange, Alan Ziller, Wolfgang Wuhrer, Tina Milne, and Martin Zirpel. Through the summer AFS students' friendships have been kept and pleasant reunions enjoyed with these former McK students. "MtcCAlC McK graduates will remember Mr. A scratching his balding head and saying, "I hate to stop you, gang!" "Babes in Toyland, " "Pickles, " "My Maryland" and "Pinafore" bring back memories of painting and performances, but the one Mr. A remembers best is the "Red Mill, ” in which he and the then Lucille McKee collaborated and this ended up in a permanent arrangement. This year a repeat performance of "Sweethearts" brought together the leads of '56 and '51. The A Cappella Choir, started by Maurine Hamblin Presler, developed many traditions, such as singing at the People's Church Candlelight Service, caroling in the halls, and the annual spring concert. The band, first directed by Mr. A worked hard selling koiaches, having rummage sales, col- lecting coat hangers and papers to buy new uniforms. Those uniforms eventually went out of style. With the introduction of Mr. Howard Ellson as band director, the band became snappier in dress and step. Will you ever forget the senior class plays or Bill Powell or Helen Baker, each of whom was an outstanding Thespian? The traditional play, "The Littlest Shepherd, " was presented each Christ mas by Miss Copp, was begun in 39. Did you know that the murals in the cafeteria were done for the Schick Hospital by the McK art students? Later the paintings were given back to the school. Many of the murals in the class- rooms were done by McK art classes. Elmer Porter, a McK teacher, presented a display of his paintings at a Chicago art exhibit in '36. Clarion - top-notch school paper, is the McK scrapbook, which has recorded the school's life. The Black and Gold originally called the Arrow, the cheerleaders, the Golden Bear named Mac, the auditorium, the office, the fads, fashions and good times, all a.-e part o' McK.
SWEETHEARTS CAST OF '51 AND '56 McK has had many scholars. The Socratecian Chapter of the National Honor Society began in '37. Mr. Pax- son presided at the first induction and was aided by the Franklin Sophrosyne. Miss Cecilia Leven, language in- structor, was inducted into the National Honor Society at Coe College in '38. Wilbur Delp, one of McK's out- standing students, went on to do great things scholastically. Every two years McK students undertake to find out what kind of scholars they are through the Iowa Education Tests. Of the original faculty that is still here at McK, there are Mr. Kelley, Mr. Paulu, Miss Matousek, Miss Grif- fith, Miss Wilkinson and Miss Hansen. In the annual of'40, there were some quotes from teachers. Have you ever heard: Miss Matousek, "Now, boys"; Miss Leven, "Did you study an hour?"; Mr. Kelley, "Now down on the farm--"; Mr. Paulu, "That was sup- posed to be studied for this morning."
Did you know that in '39 McK had a courtesy campaign to try to improve the politeness of the students? In '38 a date bureau helped dateless seniors catch partners for the prom. Three of the first four cheerleaders at McK were boys. In '36 McK held the first of her yearly all school mixers. The Mirror used to reflect the junior high activities on the last page of the Clarion. The teach-a-phone was introduced at McK in '47. Mr. Paulu, McK athletic co-ordinator and science teacher, has set an excellent example for McK athletes. Because he was Grinnell's star track man, Mr. Paulu's likeness is used on all medals earned in track to this time. Mr. Paulu, eligible for Olympics, set a record in the 440 at the Chicago stag meet that was only broken recently. “Seat In basketball in '40, with fifteen seconds to go, the score stood at 21-22 but Wilber Gregor of McK shot, and --swish--won the game 23-22. Thanks, Wilber! Will McK ever forget the game in '50 when we finally beat the Blue Devils of Davenport by the score 50-48? -.In '52 a win over Franklin took McK to the district and beat Wilson in sub-state with the score of 44-42. In '52-'53 again McK took the title of city champs. According to Coach Earl Klinzman, "I dorh gi\ • • e iota because I know McK can do it, " and so says McK.
Fighting through mud and snow, McK has never given up the battle of football. In '39 the big upset came when McK beat Franklin for the first time in four years. In '42 Coach Paulson was proud to say McK was first in city and third in Mississippi Valley Conference. In '46 McK showed definite ability and co-operation. After the retirement of Clarence Paulson as head coach, Emil Klumpar took over the duties in '53. OK *"7bat "T/fiZK has been heard in the gym of McK only since the fall of '46. Through the efforts of McK wrestling coach, L. Wilson, McK can be proud that we were the first school in Cedar Rapids to have this sport. Later, big Gus Gatto went to state; he took fourth. In '54 McK again waved her flag for we took city championship and first place in district. Levi Salzbrenner came back from the district with a fourth. Due to the efforts and ability of Norman Barnes, tennis at McK is taking on some of the prominence formerly reserved for football and basketball. In Norman we have a champion of long standing. The more important titles he has won include Missouri Valley Singles, Iowa Boys' Singles, Eastern Iowa Singles, and District Doubles held at Ames. Yes, this is McK's last year as a senior high school. However, her halls will be filled with the giggles and screams of younger students. McK's past is filled with memories that time cannot erase. McK has seen, and she has heard, and these things she will remember. 'T'V&ett, ‘Q ^04 ch Se&aot "Now, when I was in High School, " the '26 graduating father says to his '57 graduating son. Now this is my chance as a '57 graduate to poke a little fun at those ancient H. S. days and at the same time to laugh at my own H. S. antics. Today I don't know. The hair, well, you can't hardly find it anymore. With the "boy bob" (masculine) and "duck tail” (feminine), the bermuda shorts and khakis, the sweatshirts and jeans nowadays, when I see someone on the street, I have to say, "Hey! You?" The untamed look was the rage back then. A girl had to look like Tarzan's mate, or was it his chimp, Melvin Muggs? Anyway, today every parent thinks he has a "cat," while every teacher a "hood." 7^ 7%cc4cc, *7data and The swingin' '30's, the hepcat '40's, and the shattered '50's gave us such songs as: "Sing, Sing, Sing, " by Benny Good- man: "Hey! Bellboy!” by Gloria Ward and "Hound Dog” by Elvis Presley. Adults think we're bad. Back then they calmly swooned and rioted over Sinatra and Goodman and Gable and Garbo. Now we have a bunch of initials - M. M., E. P., M. B., J. D., J. M., A. E. N., and E. C. I hope you dig all of them; 1 don't. Sometimes I wonder which is the calm, rational generation. I also have inside info that they actually told jokes back then as we do. Overheard at the drugstore - 1930, "Knock, knock." "Who is there?" "It's Sinatra. " "Sinatra who?" "It's a sin not ta laugh." 1940, "Why did the moron die in the living room?" "He heard the living room was a parlor (funeral)." Gat fart Sftcvtte Back then a close B. B. game was 40-15; now it’s 110-35 with you know who on the end! But Pop still thinks the old days beat all, even in B. B. They shot only two-handed until a brilliant strategist (who incidentally had only one arm) began making 100 points a game with a one-handed jumpshot. Then one arms became the fad. Now B. B. has become a high-scoring foot race. However, after Al Pursell, I'm tempted to revert back to that barbarious two-handed shot. Back then they had the straight-T, now all I see is the Split-T, wing-T, 1 wing, 2x1 wing, 2 chicken wings (oops - wrong wing), and the Klumpar lone center, crazy quarterback chicken line spread. Oh, the game has improved nowadays. F. B. has become a mathematical brain teaser (hut-2-150-R20, translated, "Kill 'em, you Bears!") Back then they played F. B. out in a muddy pasture, and the fans could actually tell who had the ball, horror of all horrors. In the red corner, I'm happy to introduce Going Steady, the pride of McKinley. In the black comer, I have to introduce Critical Parent. I'm Skok E. Un, your jovial ring an- nouncer. I'd like to go back into the history of this bout. Back then, these two fought many times, but Critical Parent always had too much for Going Steady. Going Steady was kept crowded in a corner and couldn't move around or get started. Soon he was out like a light. Then match after match, Going Steady fought free, and got farther out of that corner. He was able to get established and make a name for himself, until now Going Steady is a speedy, flashy fighter who keeps his poor opponent, Critical Parent, going around in circles, a baffled, beaten opponent. If I become a parent, maybe I'll be the father who says to his '80 graduating son, "Now, when I was in McKinley High School... ” It could happen. Two thousand eight hundred eighty-six students have graduated from McKinley since its expansion in 1936. McK has welcomed them from many religious, racial and social groups, and treated them with friendliness and understanding. McK has graduated them to jobs and careers, taking them to all parts of the world. McK graduates meet each other under unusual circumstances at distant places. Paul Fiddler (’36) piloted the Iowa Hawkeyes to California for the Rose Bowl game. Halfback Bill Happel (’54) was on this plane. Dick Kannelis (’48) greeted the Rose Bowl bound trains which were sprinkled with McK graduates. Dick is now a reporter for the Las Vegas Sun. Bob Finley ('48) is in New York as a rewrite man for the Pitman Publishing Company. Bob spent three months in Europe on a scholarship. Leona Spryncl ('43), a missionary in Hong Kong for five years, is now in Washington, D. C., working for International Students Incorporated. John Kacere (’37) and Zora Pauk Du Vail (’43) had a two-man show of their paint- ings in Cedar Rapids Art Association Gallery. John is professor of art at the University of Florida and has had work exhibited in the Metropolitan in New York and the Art Institute of Chicago. Zora is a local artist and her painting, "Stone City, " was recently purchased by McK. Dick Wingert, McK cartoonist of'37, is cartoonist for King Syndicate. His strip, "Hubert, " appears in the Hearst Publications. John Thousand (’40) is fulfilling a prophecy made years ago by his fellow-classmates. It was predicted that he would invent a new-type parachute called "The Never Fail. " John is supervisor of the Development Section of the Ford Engineering Company and is testing parachute dropping of motor vehicles. Rose Marie Jun ('46) can be seen on Channel 7 on the Perry Como Show every Satur- day night. Rose Marie, remembered for her "Red Mill" performance, spent a year in Italy on a Fulbright Scholarship. Behind the television scenes is Carmen Arce ('52) for N.B.C. Matinee Theater. V/e have all watched Clyde Bean ('47) and Glenn Salzbrenner (’47) wrestle for McK. Now they're both on the other side of the fence. Clyde is the wrestling coach of the Iowa City Little Hawks, and Glenn is coaching in a Cincinnati, Ohio, suburb. Larry Dutton (’47), a basketball player at McK, is now working for the Export-Import Bank in Washington, D. C. Gardner Dutton (’49), a cheerleader at McK, is now at the Harvard Business School. Some ot McK's past graduates have children now attending McK High. Helen May Pleshek Affeldt's son, Dave, is a junior, while Arthur Sproston's son, Mike, is a fresh- man. Donald Duncan has a daughter, Sharon, attending her last year. Susan Wehby, daughter of George Wehby, is a sophomore. Only a few of the McK graduates are accounted for here. Others are doing outstand- ing work in diverse activities, graduate schools, armed service, business and industry of Cedar Rapids and in the professional and educational fields - McK graduates can be found everywhere.

Behind the scenes for plays, operettas and assemblies are the art, business education and dramatics departments. These depart- ments silk-screen and print programs, paint scenery and do make-up which makes for McKinley's production. The age-old tradition of autographing yearbooks to remind us of the jokes we had and the pranks we played carries on again. We traded tassels with our favorite girls and beaus. Now, during graduation week, we find ourselves transformed into dignified seniors in caps and gowns. Our dreams have come true! We'll never forget class day or the prom and how we proudly paraded before the envious under- classmen. Membership is based upon Character, Scholarship, Lead ership and Service, The emblem is the flaming torch which is to bear forward the searching light of truth, to lead that others may follow in the light, to keep burning in our school a high ambition for the enduring values of life and to serve. These purposes are symbolized in the torch.

We are standing on a threshold With a wealth of opportunity in a free and democratic land Lying ahead of us; Our innocent youth, years of shaping minds and personalities, Are tucked away in memories, in dreams. Today we remember you, teachers, advisors, classmates, All you who have aided us as we took our first faltering steps in life, And got our first taste of living in a wholesome society; We remember all you have done for us, and we, for you, And we thank you. But now our eyes must be fixed firmly on tomorrow, For we have reached the inevitable crossroad, the point of decision; And we are left to determine which course our life will take. We are the men and women of America, And it is our responsibility to keep our nation as great as it is today. From among us will come those who will make their contribution To progress, to the future, From behind a gun, a plow, a desk, With a pen in their hand; Some will find success in a schoolroom, a hospital, a factory; Others will find their place in the home, Bringing up children with a full knowledge Of the unlimited power and strength Of the individual in a democracy. But regardless of which way of life we choose, Our one aim, the end for which we strive, Will be the betterment of humanity everywhere, And peace. And to those who will follow in our footsteps, we ask only this: That you uphold the standards we have set for you, Do the things we left undone, And improve on those things we did poorly. For you, too, are standing on a threshold; Take your first step forward as we are doing, proudly, hopefully, Into a land of promise where dreams do come true. John Frick SOCIAL STUDIES MR.
