James L. (Jim) Beasley (1967)
I do not disagree that it became the JHawks later than when I graduated in '67. It was still the Bluejays then, and nothing was underway to change it.
I probably did not say it right, which i am prone to do, but what I meant to say is that the artwork for the "new" gym's center jump circle, was of a Fighting Jay, and that was the first time for that. Prior, it was just always just a cute little Bluejay. So, that artwork was the beginning of the end of the Bluejay.
I was Student Council President, behind the contest for the artwork to be by one our own, say, instead of a UHS, and remember reviewing the designs that were submitted. They were very good.

I succeeded Chuck Rizzuti on the Student Council, and knew him from the basketball team, too. I totally concur with John's words about Chuck. He was one of the great ones.

Lila Mart:
I was a year behind Mary, but I spent some time with her crowd. Caroline Zimmerman, Marcia Collins, et al., and I saw her a lot at practice and games in the "Cracker Box" gym we had back then. Mary was the most agressive basketball player I ever knew, male or female.
I am saddened that they are gone.
It all goes so fast.

School Fight Song?
Urbandale High, we love you best,
Of all the teams from East to West.
We have the coach, we have team,
We have the pep, we have the steam.
(Someone else can finish it.)

It's a beautiful day here in Florida.
