In addition to the multitude of after-hour tasks connected with regular classroom teaching, faculty members are as- signed certain sponsorships - extracurricular iobs to which they willingly give their time and effort because these so-called "outside activities" are as important as the classroom in rounding the character ot a student. To emphasize the variety of extracurricular supervision, faculty pictures are grouped here according to sponsorships. Faculty summaries - which include degrees, universities attended, and subjects taught - are listed on the preceding pages. Service Club Sponsors Christmas is a busy season for service club sponsors. There are the Y-Teen party for underprivileged children, the Junior Red Cross Christmas basket proiect, and the yearly Hi-Y aid to the Goodfellows. Going over common problems are Lena White, Y-Teen sponsor, Agnes White, Junior Red Cross, Ar- thur Lee, Hi-Y, and Grace Thompson, Y-Teen. 9 Language Club Sponsors Margaret Henderson, Latin Club sponsor, and Lois Delk, Spanish Club, preview material on the opaque projector for use in their re- spective organizations. Miss Henderson is also the business adviser for the Crimson and Blue yearbook. Class Sponsors Rechecking ballots and consulting class lists for committee appointments represent only part of the many extracurricular duties of these faculty members. Seated: Berniece Pohl, Senior Class sponsor, Herbert Little, Senior Class sponsor, Bianca McComb, Freshman Class sponsor and Clio Literary Society sponsor, Erva Huckleeberry, Junior Class sponsor and Ero Literary Society sponsor, Virgil Miller, Junior Class sponsor and Crimson and Blue photographic adviser. Standing: Roy Lawson, Freshman Class sponsor and Dean ot Boys, Thurman Johnson, Sophomore Class sponsor and Letterman's Club sponsor. 10 Business Education Sponsors Adiusting one of the numerous business machines are William Hughes, left, and Gerald Ross. Mr. Ross sponsors the Retail Sales Club, while Mr. Hughe-s's supervisory duties link the business department with many extra- curricular undertakings. Music Sponsors Sponsors of music groups not only train students for public per- formance, but find themselves call- ed on to perform frequently. Viola Bichel, Vocal Music Board adviser, accompanies Elaine Sorensen, who sponsors string ensembles in their many contests. Harry Hilton listens and momentarily escapes a de- manding sponsorship that ranges from band concerts to pep rallies and parades. ...mu Drama-Speech Sponsors As respective play and debate sponsors, Rhoda Godown and Harry Langdon go over schedules, ironing out conflicts and shaping their work to benefit the greatest number of students. Miss Godown is also new co-sponsor of the sopho- more class, Mr. Langdon has the sponsorship of the Thespian Society. 11 4 i Conferring here are practical arts men, Harold Stout and Edwin Reinel. Relieved of formal sponsor- y ship because of a heavy teaching load, Mr. Stout nevertheless unofficially sponsors ambitious students by keeping daily after-school hours for those who want to do extra work. Mr. Reinel supervises an in- valuable handyman group of boys in practical mechanics. Practical Arts Sponsors I Sports Sponsors Grouped in front of one of the sports department's money- makers, the popcorn machine, are three Lettermen's Club sponsors, Victor Jennings, Thomas Capel, and Vernon Doty. Joining them for a coke is Cleola Mansfield, who takes time out from a practice of the Pep Club and the Cheerleaders, which she sponsors. . 12 Literary Society Sponsors Before the school year is over, one of the major jobs for each literary society sponsor is that of handling the business end of a society play. Concerned here with tickets and charts are, seated: Lela Ketter, Ero sponsor, Faye Marty, Thalian, Edna Willard, Clio, Marion Hanthorn, Omega, Dora Nyrop, Alpha, and Juanita Eschmann, Thalian, standing: Grace Taylor, Delta Tau sponsor, Eleanor Baptist, Delta Tau, Bess Hanigan, Alpha, and Mary Ethel Pomeroy, Omega. Mrs. Pomeroy is also Dean of Girls. 13 Miscellaneous Sponsors This group illustrates the further diversity of faculty sponsor- ships. Seated: Lucy Miller, who directs the school's student librariansg Robert Brown, editorial adviser of the Crimson and Blue, John Sprugel, sponsor of the Future Farmers ot America, Jet Thrush Downs, whose supervisory work is connected with typing contests. Standing: Richard Lessenger, who supervises on-the-road troining of novice drivers in addition to their in- class study.

But with his strong personality, mature com- petency, ond pleasant ability to mix well with his schoolmates, Nate in his sophomore year became president of the Philos. A picture from an old an- nual shows him with his group. Junior: I923 Junior year was a busy, fruitful one for Nate. He won the class presidency, acted in the junior class play, "Come Out of the Kitchen", held a job on The Echoes, and took part in the oratorical section of the Gerner Declamatory Contest.

Senior: I 924 Someone wrote of Nate in his junior year: "He is now only a junior and great things are expected of him as a senior." Nate didn't let down his well-wishers. He was active in debat- ing, earning an enviable berth on the famous "triangular debate squad." He won the extempo semifinals. He headed The Echoes, giving to the school paper its motto which contin- ues to this day-"Echoing Vigorously, Justly, and without Prejudice." In the senior class production, "Friend Han- nah," he played a leading role. At commencement, he graduated with highest honors, as he also did four years later at Harvard. Nate's A, L. senior class picture and summary are reproduced at the left. fPictures on this page and the one preceding were reproduced from old annuals. Although prints of this kind give unsatisfactory results, the editors felt that the value of authentic pictures outweighed the disadvantage of poor reproductionj 17 l"i'Ii+'l1'iGN 3 Siwretnrx hoto The athan Pusey Story When he was graduated from A. L. High School thirty years ago this June, Nathan Marsh Pusey lknown locally as Nate! was singled out by his classmates and teachers as a brilliant boy with a promis- ing future. His Abe Lynx instructors and schoolmates were right, for at forty-six young Pusey is president of Harvard University, the nation's oldest, richest, and proudest institution of higher learning. Chosen from a list of more than one hundred top educators, he is the first non-easterner Harvard has elected to its highest post in 316 years. Born April 4, 1907, in Council Bluffs, the new Harvard president is the son of the late John Marsh and Rosa Drake Pusey. His grandfather, also named Nathan, was an early Council Bluffs attorney and half-brother of William Pusey, long a prominent Council Bluffs banker, public official, and friend of Abraham Lincoln. In speaking of his Council Bluffs boyhood, Dr. Pusey recalled: "I grew up very happily - de- spite the sudden loss of my father - and received a good education in the Council Bluffs pub- lic schools, while Mother resumed her teaching to support the family. Although the years have rushed by, l still remember many of my A. L. teachers as among the best instructors I have ever had, any- where." Dr. Pusey, who spent his boy- hood in the Lake Okoboii area as chauffeur and tutor and later worked in the Council Bluffs Sav- ings Bank, will be no stranger on the Harvard campus. He took his undergraduate, graduate, and doc- torate work-there after earning a Perkins scholarship on graduation from A. L. ln 1936, Dr. Pusey married Anne Woodward of Council Bluffs. He is the father of two sons, Nathan, Jr., James, and a daughter, Rose- mary. A brother of Doctor Pusey, Mai. John Pusey, and a sister, Mrs. Esther Briggs, were also graduated from Abraham Lincoln. This family group shows Dr. and Mrs. Nathan Pusey and their children, Nathan, Jr James, and Rosemary. 18 ln i944, when he was only 37, Dr. Pusey was elected as the tenth president of Lawrence College, Appleton, Wisconsin - the young- est college head in the country at the time. In his nine years at the Wisconsin school, he establish- ed himself as a great intellectual and moral leader, lt is with pleasure that the staff of the 1954 Crimson and Blue dedicates this year's book to Dr. Nathan Pusey, A. L. graduate and educator, who in thirty years has progressed so rapidly up the administrative ladder that he now holds the top spot at the nation's most famous school, Harvard. Dr. James Bryant Conant, presiding at his final commencement as president of Harvard University, meets his successor, Dr. Nathan Pusey. Dr. Nathan M. Pusey accompanies Dr. James Bryant Conant, retiring president of Harvard University, to alumni meeting in the Harvard Yard. A. P. Photo A. P.

Each girl seeks to grow as a person, to grow in friendship with people of all races, religions, and nationalities, and to grow in the knowledge and love of God. Their second goal is service. A Christmas party for underprivileged children is an annual occasion. Other yearly services include making scrap- books for veterans and sending candy to children in the Philippines and school supplies to an orphanage in Korea. As a tribute to the graduating Y-Teens, the girls give a May breakfast. Being a Y- Teen is truly a satisfying experience and prepares one for social and service ob- ligations in later life.

In the season opener, Abraham Lincoln cruised past Shenandoah by a score of 3l -0. Rapalie scored four touchdowns behind outstanding blocking by the line. A. L.'s footballers then turned the tables on Tech to crush them 21-l3 after spotting them a I3-point lead. Messerli, Rapalie, and Hollinger led the Lynx past the favored Tech team. In the next game the Hilltoppers ran-wild past T. J., their city rivals, 43-0, to claim the most decisive A. L. triumph over them in the city's long football history. With Swanger and Herd setting a bruising pace in the line, the game was never a contest. Abraham Lincoln racked up their fourth straight victory the next week by defeating Omaha Cathedral, 28-7. Gallo made his ball-carrying debut by averaging 5.6 yards per carry. The defensive play of the A. L. line could not be matched by Cathedral.

After outplaying the Bunnies for nearly four quarters, the Lynx were forced to settle for a 7-7 deadlock as Benson scored in the last two minutes of the game. Creighton Prep, the number-one team in Nebraska, stood next on the list for the Abe Lynx gridmen. An overfllow crowd of 4,800 watched Prep shock A. L, 41-6 atter the Lynx held a 6-O lead in the first quarter. The Hilltoppers then suffered their second straight loss at the hands of Omaha Central, l9-6. The Eagles presented a varied attack that got rolling in the second half to grab the victory after they were behind 6-0 at the half. In the season's gridiron windup, Abraham Lincoln traveled to Lincoln to play Northeast. The boys from A. L. rolled up a tremendous ground yard- age to achieve victory by a score of 29-7. The play of Rapalie, Stapleton, Hodge, and Gilman was outstanding. The Crimson and Blue closed with a record of 5 wins, 2 losses, and a tie. A fighting team spirit and morale was shown in every game.

Thompson headed the scoring column in all of these games. Continuing on their victory march, the Lynx hoopsters walked by Creighton Prep, 43-36, aided by the clutch .play- ing ot Dick Gilman, and they followed this with a 55-47 win over Benson. A. L. fans relived the Glenwood contest as Tech fell 39-38, but then breathed easily as the Lynx raced past the Boys Town Cowboys, 60-36, as Thompson and Grell showed excellent form in their respective jobs of scoring and rebounding. ln the next four games, the Lynx added more scalps to their growing collection. Onawa gave in, 63-47, as "marks- man Mark" had his best night of the season with 30 points. Central fell victim by 64-50 as little Bill Cambron and Roger Berg showed their scoring abilities. North found themselves on the short end of a 39-33 score, and South was greeted with a 64-46 defeat. In the South game, rapidly-improving Jack Chapman filled the shoes of Mark Thompson, who had received an ankle injury in the North game, by dropping in l9 points. In the inauguration of the new Thomas .lelfterson Held- house, the Lynx played their role of guest poorly by defeat- ing the Jeffs 45-39. History books were rewritten as the A. L. cagers made it l4 straight wins with a 48-44 victory over a strong Creighton crew. The old record was l3, set up by last year's team. Benson, playing terrific ball, stopped the Lynx streak at i4 by an impressive score of 60-45. Varsity Coach Second Team Coach Thurman Johnson Thomas Capel Art Grell Bill Cambron Roger Berg Mark Thompson .lack Chapman Larry Hays Dave Goecker Basketball Getting back into the victory swing, a determined Lynx crew crushed Tech 72-50 to the delight of the A. L. players' mothers, who were honored at this game. A. L. then set a new inter-city scoring mark by trouncing Central, 86-48, the old record being 83, set by last year's crew Dave Goecker and Thompson shared scoring honors with 24 points apiece. A. L. survived a late North threat, 44-41, as Grell and Cambron potted the clutch points. T. J., for the third time this season, surrendered to the Lynx in a 49-47 thriller as Berg and Gilman provided the needed points in the Hnal minute. This district championship game let A. L. move on to the sub-state tournament. For the second time in as many years, the Lynx reigned as inter-city champions by smashing South, 69-39, as Cam- bron scorched the nets for 22 points, followed closely by Thompson's 20. A. L. went into sub-state competition with a l9-l record, the best that any of Coach Thurman Johnson's teams have ever achieved. The Lynx, boosted by Mark Thompson's l9 points, de- feated Sioux City Heelan in their first sub-state game. This 62-56 triumph brought A. L. within one game of a return trip to Iowa City.

The success of the class play, "January Thaw," prophesied the future for this group of students. Their enthusiasm was shown in the class election by a pep band, roaring students, and stirring speeches. Later the juniors spent much time pondering over the choice of that all-important class ring. The year was topped off by the Junior-Senior Prom. The Junior Class Seated: Bill Ballenger, vice-president, Richard Smith, president, Robert Dryden, sergeant-atiarms.
