TRASH OR TREASURE?

     Some members of the BHS class of 1964 got their "jollies" this week via a note from member John Hinz who wrote, "in my never ending quest to reduce clutter in my files, I have located a piece of history from BHS. I can't believe we paid 32-cents per meal with a 10 punch meal ticket! Of course, an extra cherry cobbler was another nickel! Thankfully, we eventually got to leave the building for lunch! Those coney islands were worth the drive with Jude (what stop sign?) Rolfes in his infamous dandy Rambler."
     John even sent a picture of the well worn meal ticket.
     In reply, Connie Mondt Cross wrote, "bring it to Boone or send it to me. I am the keeper of memorabilia."
     Marsha McCoy Wilson answered, "I remember those $3.20 lunch cards or buy one lunch for 35 cents. When I was a senior, Rene' and I would go out to her dad's truck. Good memories John. I can't believe you still have that card."
     Dick Musser said, "I believe it!! Also, days when Steve Roeder had double coneys and the football team suffered."

     From John Kueck, BHS-61. "in writing about Boys State, mention was made of Camp Dodge, which brought back some memories. Boys of Woodcraft, a boys club that was supported by Woodman Life, offered summer camp opportunities. Some outings were for the Boone club only, but one was a statewide week long outing at Camp Dodge. Dodge was unique with its large mess hall where long lines formed to eat. We sang the "99 bottles of beers on the wall" and more than once, emptied the shelf while waiting to pass through the cafeteria line. There was also an outdoor rifle range where, as a member of the rifle club, I competed. Initially, the club did not have a rifle team or even rifles. We, initially, were taught gun safety with BB guns. Our initial target practice was held in the halls of Lowell school with a target and safety backstop at one end. Later, the National Guard donated outdated rifles for us to use in their rifle range. It was quite a step up from BB guns in both firepower, but also the weight of the rifles. I think the Army decommissioned the rifles because they were too heavy. Yet, we young teenagers were using them. Keep up the fascinating stories and history you bring us."

     EDITORS NOTE: I think about the hours and hours Dean Timm spent traveling to various nursing homes, hospitals etc. all over the central Iowa area voluntarily singing gospel songs for the residents. He loved doing that in his "spare time" and his effort, no doubt, brought some peace and smiles to his audience.
