  • NEW Ames High Alumni Directory the Swingsters
    Volume 23, Issue 1 Ames, Iowa April, 2012 NEW Ames High Alumni Directory There was an article in the December, 2011 AHSAA Newsletter indicating that we, indeed, were publishing a new alumni directory, and that it was at the printers. It was printed in January and delivered to the AHSAA on January 23rd. Over one-hundred of our loyal members ordered one based on the story, and they were mailed out on the 23rd by a group of alumni volunteers--Bob and Anne Buck, Jim Dresser, Tom Emmerson and Mary Shahan. The new directory consists of three alumni listings: (1) an alphabetical listing of all AHS graduates, (2) a listing by graduation classes, and (3) a geographical listing by city and state. It also contains a section of information about the Ames High School Alumni Association and a collection of information and trivia about Ames High School. We think you will find it useful and interesting. So, we suggest you order yours today. And while you are doing that--you may want to order one for a child, sibling or friend. They make a great gift! - Bill and Jack The Swingsters Roger Deal, ’51 forwarded this picture to us. He indicated that this would have been the sophomore year (48- 49) of the Class of 1951. He has identified seven of the members for us. They are, indeed, a dapper looking group. We will give a three-year membership or a 2011 AHSAA Directory to the first person to correctly identify all fourteen members. How will we know if you are correct? We have our sources! Volume 23, Issue 1, Page 2 April, 2012 AHSAA Thanks You For Your Financial Support The Ames High School Alumni Association has received contributions and/or memorials from the following supporters during the 2011 calendar year.

  • BRIEF HISTORY of the IOWA HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION the Iowa High School Athletic Association Had Its Origin in the Iowa High School Principals Club
    BRIEF HISTORY OF THE IOWA HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Iowa High School Athletic Association had its origin in the Iowa High School Principals Club. At a meeting of the Club in 1903, a committee was appointed to draft a series of rules and regulations for the general and definite control of high school athletics throughout the state. This committee, consisting of Forest C. Ensign, Council Bluffs, as Chairman and Maurice Ricker, Burlington, presented its report at the annual meeting of the Principals Club in 1904, when it was adopted by the Club. At a called meeting of the Superintendents and Principals, December 28,1904, the Iowa High School Athletic Association was formed, and the aforesaid rules and regulations herein following were unanimously adopted. D.A. Thornburg, Grinnell; George Edward Marshall, Sioux City; and Frank L Smart, Dubuque, were elected members of the Board of Control to serve one, two, and three years, respectively. Upon the removal of Superintendent Thornburg from the state in July, A.V. Storm, Cherokee, was chosen to fill the vacancy. At a meeting of the Association in Des Moines, December 28,1905, Superintendent Storm was elected a member of the Board of Control to serve three years and several amendments were made to the Rules and Regulations. At a meeting in Des Moines, December 26,1906, R.S. Whitley was elected to the Board of Control vice George Edward Marshall, whose term had expired. September 21,1907, A.V. Storm and Frank L. Smart resigned, and M.M. Bedall, Boone, and R.B. Crone, Washington, were appointed to fill vacancies.
