09/02/09 11:18 AM #2     Shannon Naylor (Chyma) Hello Everyone! I'm thinking of this as a giant experiment in the Cyber World as this is not my area of expertise! Please pass this site on to anyone you are in contact with in our class. Thanks a bunch! Shannon

09/03/09 05:53 PM #3     Shannon Naylor (Chyma) OK--let's get some discussion rolling! What do you remember about the day we walked out our senior year? Did you--why or why not?

09/04/09 07:38 AM #4     Tom Taylor I didn’t walk out for the same reason, not that my parents were out of town, but that they would have killed me!

09/04/09 08:22 AM #5     Mitch Maxted I flew out of the building at the sound of the bell and immersed myself in the craziness of the moment! First I made an outrageous comment to the KCCI television cameraman who was present, accusing our athletic director of being a basketball-biased fascist whose sole purpose in life was to bring misery to the wrestling team. Then I climbed up on the roof of the police car and mooned the two officers who were trying to get me off of their ride. It was actually a good thing that they both drew their weapons at that point, because it forced me to abbreviate my moondance and jump off the car with time enough to slash every one of the charter bus's tires before diving back into the school building prior to the end of passing time. Well . . . maybe things didn't go down exactly like that. It's possible that on that gorgeous late winter day, as hundreds of my classmates made MHS history, I quietly walked to German class like a good boy.

09/04/09 09:10 AM #6     Tim Walljasper Thank God I was on a recruiting trip that day and not in school, otherwise I don't know what I would have done. At that point in time the Grand Almighty Poobah and myself didn't exactly see eye to eye. Not sure if it was because I spray painted his Roundhouse on New Year's eve or the fact that I got arrested with 4 girls (one whom I see is a member on this website) enjoying "beverages" in my beat up green car!! I don't think the pigeon incident on graduation helped my case with him either.

09/04/09 09:12 AM #7     Shannon Naylor (Chyma) Oh Mitch, that cracked me up! Believe it or not I DID walk out! And while my parents didn't kill me, my mom was pretty ticked when Julie Spiltgerber and I walked into Commercial State Bank where she worked. Then I remember going out ot Lions Park and drinking all after noon--good times! And I also remember Mrs. Walker was not very nice! When my kids were at MHS, I was still scared to call the attendance lady, scarred for life!

09/04/09 01:41 PM #8     Deb Welp (Daniels) Oh my gosh Mitch that was hilarious, but we can dream can't we, even if it's in the past tense! To Tim - hopefully everyone in that green car of yours will be on this website sometime soon! This is great! I laugh out loud and all of you and my husband (Matt) just looks at me! I tell him sorry, you had to be there! And I was there, but don't always remember the way others do, hmm wonder why?

09/04/09 02:00 PM #9     Deb Welp (Daniels) I want to get back to the Lions Park thing or having a hog roast or something at someone's place locally for Friday night! I think that would be the most awesome thing, we would still be there the next morning telling stories! (I will try to have less alcohol intake at this upcoming reunion!) Oh that's right, that was the 20th not the 25th! Anyway, if there are kegs involved we need to remember to have a rope for Marcia Franklin to tie herself to the keg! Do you remember that from the senior keg? She didn't ever want to get too far from the keg, so she tied herself to it, since they were leaving for boot camp! I haven't talked to her since, but those were good times! Tequila Poppers though, I'll be right there with you Sherri Seiler Logan!!

09/04/09 02:20 PM #10     Shannon Naylor (Chyma) Was I at the senior Keg? I don't recall, was it at Lions Park? I'm sure someone will come through with some property for Friday night. We have 11 months!

09/04/09 02:57 PM #11     Connie Boswell (Holubar) RE: the walkout, I was on the newspaper staff, and Mr. C told us that, as journalists, we could observe and report but not participate. Already into my media relations role,I was the one who used the phone in the journalism lab to call the TV stations and give them a heads-up to "come to MHS!" As for Marcia and the keg, was that the time she fell into the fire? I don't know...pig roasts and bonfires were pretty dangerous with our crew. I've seen Marcia a few times in Florida. She's the mother of two gorgeous girls, and she did home school them...perhaps to keep them out of the trouble we all got in! I'll track her down and get her on here!

09/04/09 05:28 PM #12     Deb Welp (Daniels) Shannon, it was Senior Skip Day, wasn't that the keg that was called the senior skip day? But that's the one I'm talking about. It was in the day time anyway!

09/06/09 01:45 PM #14     Jane Kapaun (Niemeyer) I was a chicken and did not walk out. My little brother Stephen did. My parents weren't that upset by it. They understood there was validity to the issue. I was Miss Goody Two Shoes and didn't want to get into trouble.

09/07/09 07:57 PM #15     Deb Welp (Daniels) So, last night we were in Marshalltown sitting by the fire at Marcia and Tim's house, my sister, Shannon and Rod came over, oh we had fun! Anyway, come to find out Janet Palmer is their neighbor. Tim and I jumped the fence and visited "Juanita". Gee it was great to see her! How do you spell her last name? I thought it was WINK.

09/08/09 10:07 AM #16     Shannon Naylor (Chyma) So I have to share a funny! You know you are old when you are writing the details for the reunion and list the dates in both red and black in case people are like me and can't read colors very well! OK that is just plain sad--not funny!

09/11/09 04:13 PM #17     Deb Jorgensen (Trickey) hey Tim, so do you still have that car? :) actually it was Joe Millers fault for buying us the beer. Wonder how Penny, Vicki and Maria feel about this?

09/17/09 09:56 AM #18     Tim Walljasper Deb, That car was a classic!!!! I ended up driving it for 4 more years while in college. I agree...it was Joe Miller's fault for buying us all that beer at Hy-Vee. Of course we picked an absolutely terrible place to stop and drink it though. If memory serves me correctly, it only took about 10 minutes for the cops to show up. I still remember the looks on all the cop's faces and the comments they made as they strolled all of us through the cop shop...and I will NEVER forget the reaction I got from my dad when I got home that night and told him about it. All my brothers ran for their bedrooms when he started chewing me out...and that is putting it politely!!

09/24/09 08:43 AM #19     Sherri Seiler (Logan) I walked out with pride (stupity) and told my parents the day before. My mom gave me the very strict THIS WILL COME WITH CONSQUENCES and then called the TV stations because she so believed in our cause. She was president of the wrestling booster then. The time Marcia fell in the fire was not on Senior Keg day but the time Connie fell head first down the steep revine trying to retreve something of great importance. Senior Keg was the day at the park near Albion when someone (I cant remember because of old age) took there dirt bike in the river and rode down the sand bars. That was the best day!! Deb I have sworn off Tequila poppers and now what ever that shot was we were drinking at the 20th that tasted like Vicks Formula 44. Not a very good day the next day. But way fun that night. Does anyone remember the camp out when we all got busted because someone let off firecrackers . That would be you Jack Petrie LOL. That time I was in VERY big trouble. HaHa

09/24/09 01:20 PM #20     Patti Nalvanko Hello everyone. I participated in the walkout and my Mom could've cared less. She had raised 5 other children by then so nothing surprised her much. I don't remember whose car I was in but we actually had a small fender bender as we left the parking lot. Anybody in that car that knows what I am talking about? I was asked by a reporter why I was walking out and I said something like, "because its a beautiful spring day." Good as reason as any. I have a funny story for you all. If you remember, Mr. Spencer (Spence ?) was fired shortly after all of that. Two years later, my brother Ed moved to Branson, MO with my parents and finished his senior year at the high school there. He's walking down the hall and who does he see.....Mr. Spencer. Mr. Spencer had gotten a job as VP at Branson High! He recognized my brother and Ed said he looked like he had seen a ghost. He pulled Ed aside and proceeded to tell him that he was trying to leave the whole Marshalltown saga behind him and he would appreciate it if Ed didn't tell anybody what had happened. Weird huh?

09/24/09 01:29 PM #21     Patti Nalvanko Sherri; I was at the imfamous campout the night we all ended up on probation. I showed up at the probation office in a sundress and a flower in my hair and he never made me come back. Sucker. Anyway, it was Deb Welp with that stupid fire cracker gadget that made them think there was a gun and which prompted the search. The stolen road sign with bullet holes in it was COINCIDENTALLY in the trunk of Jack Petrie's car (I think it was Jack.) The probation was for underage drinking. there were a couple of 18 year old guys there, don't remember who, who got in trouble for allowing minors to drink. After all the guys left and everything calmed down, the police guys actually sat around the campfire and "hung out" with us. Then they felt bad that they had called everything in and couldn't take the charges back. Kalene got her fake id confiscated in that whole mess! That was the biggest tragedy of the evening.

09/24/09 06:25 PM #22     Deb Welp (Daniels) I was at that camp out yes, but firecrackers/popper thing, no! I don't recall that part at all! Where would I have gotten "illegal" fireworks anyway, with Cy and Aloah for parents? That family camping by us were "fun haters"! Yes Sherri, Jack Petrie was one of the guys, and I still thank Kalene for taking the wrap on that fake ID thing, cause I would have been dead and she knew it! I had to see the probation officer twice, and my Mom had to come one of the times. Yagermister, I don't know how to spell it, but NO WAY will I ever drink that again Sherri! Tequila poppers, maybe! We left for the Wisconsin Dells the next morning on vacation with Shannon & Rod and their kids, Marlys, Marcia & Tim and their kids. Our kids had to ride in the Shore's camper cause their mom had a bucket!

09/24/09 08:04 PM #23     Patti Nalvanko You are in denial. It was you and they weren't illegal. It was a little silver gadget you put those red strips in that exploded on impact!
