The confusion was whether there would be a prom, whether there'd be an F party and whether this or whether that . Finally, there was an F party, April 14, some 200 students, athletes and teachers gathered around the dinner tables placed in the gymnasium to feast, sing songs, and hear a few short talks by varions guests. The main speakers were Coach Sloang Alton Werner, N. U. basketball starg and Charles Brock and Jack Dodd, N. U. football stars. At the close of the banquet the annual cus- tom of coronating the Fu Queen took place. Those in attendance, who were privileged to vote on three candidates, chose Norman Jean Caley as the F Queen of 1939. In an interesting ceremony, Bill Yoachim, president of the F Club placed the flower crown on Miss Caley's head to symbolize the approval of the student body of her accession to the throne. I:Page Twentyfsixj he rise and fall of spelling bees was one of the features of 1938 and '39 that is to be remembered. Through the efforts of the Student Council, Mrs. Esther Page and Frank Mclntyre, a spelling match was arranged between a group of Fairbury matrons and a team of high school spellers. When the smoke of the orthographic battle had cleared, four surviving high school members were still able to battle while the foe had been vanquished. The four survivors were Marjorie Chancellor, Lloyd Jackson, Dorothy Dodd and Betty Riley. Just so all can remember what a fresh- man looks like, this picture taken in home room 108 has been included. The picture tells more than words can say- so go ahead and read between the lines. How many times during the year did you and your locker mate lose your keys and have to call for help to get the locker open? If you did, then this picture should bring back memories of those profession- al locker crackers-custodians Charles McMannon and Art Webb. No lock could withstand the attack of these two and as a result would soon yell 'nuff and open.

This was the first high state placing of a Fairbury student in this contest which is an annual event. Greatly responsible for making the wheels of this educational institution gm 'round, are Myrna Meyer, principal s secretary, and Veeda McKean, secretary to the superintendent.

Ed, the leading scorer of the Mid-East conference, was the spear head of the Jeffs attack. He was a real triple-threat back, able to pass, punt, and place- kick equally well. Ed was named on the Lincoln papers' Roll of Honor and was elected honor- ary co-captain of the team. EMMETT EDWARDS-senior, back. Emmett was one of the squads fastest and swiftest run- ners despite the fact that he was obliged to carry the handicap of his size 12 muleskins. One of the best blockers on the squad, Emmett was qiven honor- able mention on the All State Roll of Honor. DARRELL NV I L E S-junior, back. Darrell proved to be a hard-driving line plunger, but his greatest value to the team was his sure-fire blocking. BUS ELLSWORTH-j u nio r, back. Besides calling signals, Bus did a major part of the passing and punting for the Jeffs. Bus, a shifty back, did a fine job of returning punts from his safety position, as well as doing his share of the blocking assignments. DAVE VESTAL-senior, end. Anyone who has seen Dave play will remember his crushing shoe string tackles and hard-charging offensive play. Dave also came up with his share of circus catches of passes. He was one of the co-captains chosen by the major lettermen. fPage Thirtyffouril BOB DODD-senior, center. Bob's fine line-backing and of-- fensive play earned him a place on the Lincoln newspapers' Roll of Honor. Bob, a scholor as well as a gridster, was gen- erally acclaimed the leading pivot man in the conference. BILL YOACHIM-senior, tack- le. Bill played bang-up foot- ball all season for the Jeffs. He was a fine defensive player and an excellent blocker. Although he weighed 170 pounds and a lineman, Bill was one of the fastest men on the squad. MAX MEYER-senior, end. If one has seen Max, the only three--year letterman on the team, lope down the field under a punt, it is easy to understand why he is known as a G-horse. lVlax's six foot plus height made him a valuable pass receiver, and he was equally proficient in other departments of play. BILL GOIN-senior, tackle. Bill's 180 pounds were the im- movable object, as many oppo- nets discovered when attempting to go through his position, A two-year letterman, Bill was outstanding on defense. BILL MCGREGOR-j u n i 0 r , tackle. In his iirst year of foot- ball, Wild Bill pressed the reg- ulars for a starting position. Bill, who tips the scales in the neighborhood of 180, should bolster the Jeff lineup next fall. BERNARD GOLDSTEINhsen- ior, guard. Although this was his Hrst year on the squad, Barney earned a starting pos- ition by virtue of his scrappy play. A good defensive man and down-field blocker, Bernard ont- foxed many opposing linemen despite his comparative light Weight. DON VESTAL-junior, Guard. Little Gus , the Jeff's package of dynamite, made up what he lacked in weight with fight. Don, a junior, will return for another year of service next fall. BUD VAN MARTER-junior, guard. Snooze's nickname did not apply to his activities on the gridiron, his alertness on de- fense being his main forte. BUD BAKER-junior, back. In spite of his lack of weight, Bud was a top-flight substitute, seeing much service in the back- field. VERNON DALKE-senior, tackle. Vernon used his size to good advantage, becoming a dependable reserve and a good defensive player. VANCE WILLIAMSfjunior, back. An injured leg kept Vance out of competition for several games. He was skilled as a dropkicker and was one of the Jeffs' best punters. fPicture not availablej GEORGE NEWTON-senior, guard. 'fNewt developed into a good defensive player and was a top-flight replacement in his first and last year on the team. RICHARD LONG-senior, end. Two experienced ends ahead of him kept Dick from a starting berth. Dick was a reliable sub- stitute and specialized in pulling flips out cf the ozone. RANDALL BUTTERBAUGHM junior, tackle. Because the Jeffs had an over-supply of fine tackles, much of Randal1's play was confined to the reserve games. However, the seasoning received by this junior tackle should be of value next year. BILL NIELSON-junior, guard Willy , a sub-guard, possessed a fighting spirit, and proved him- self to be one of the best de- fensive players on the squad. DON GRAUL-senior, guard. Don was lost to the squad for some time because of gunshot wounds, but saw considerable service as a substitute guard. I:Page Thirtyfjivel gootgaff The Jeffs were listed among the favorites to win the Mid-East conference championship in pre-season predictions, and although they fin- ished fourth in the final conference standing, they were undefeated in non-conference play. Fairbury piled up a total of 111 points to opponents' 50 in the tough nine-game schedule. The Jeffs opened the season with a 12 to 6 victory over a heavier Belleville team. Less than three minutes after the opening kickoff, Ed Patton plunged over for a touchdown to climax a sixty-four yard drive. The Bulldogs came back to tie the score at 6 to 6 in the same quarter on a pass into Fairbury's end zone. Again in the second period, the Jeffs drove deep into Belleville territory to score when Patton carried the ball over from the thirteen- yard line. Fairbury met Hastings in the first Mid-East conference clash, the Tigers winning 24 to 20, as Fairbury was unable to overcome a 12-point advantage which Hastings piled up during the first two quarters. The Jeffs retaliated in the second quarter, Patton driving over from the one-yard stripe after a sustained drive of fifty yards. Hastings countered again in the third quarter as Weiler went across from the thirty-yard line. Fairbury then took to the air, moving downfield steadily until Edwards took Patton's aerial and ran forty yards for a touchdown. Hastings scored again early in the final quarter. The Jeffs advanced the ball on two long passes to the Hastings two-yard line, whence Patton plunged over for the tally. The game ended before the Jeff offensive could get under way for further scoring. Fairbury entertained the Dukes of York on the following Friday, the game ending in a scoreless stalemate. Neither team could ad- vance the ball past the enemy twenty-yard line. A York threat in the second quarter ended when Wiles recovered a Duke fumble on the Jeff twenty-two. In the same period Fairbury swept down to the York twenty-one before losing the ball on an intercepted pass. Neither team threatened seriously during the second half. An underdog, Hebron held Fairbury to a 6 to 6 tie before a record crowd on the Hebron gridiron. Hebron took the lead when Cannon tallied in the second quarter. The Jeffs came back in the third period to tie the score on Patton's delayed plunge from the 25 yard par- allel. With seconds left to play in the final quarter, the Jeff's staged a great offensive drive from their own six-yard line. Patton lugged the pigskin on five consecutive tries, and ad- vanced the ball ninety-four yards to the Hebron one-foot line, when the game ended. The Jeff's played their third consecutive tie game, holding Crete to a scoreless tie, after coming within six inches of a victory over the favored Cardinals. Fairbury advanced the ball to the Crete six-inch line in the third period, but the drive piified when a fourth-down line plunge failed. Neither team made other seri- ous scoring threats. Fairbury brought to an end the Wymore jinx by routing the Zephyrs, 46 to 0, on the I:Page Thirtyfsixj Gage county lot. The Jeffs scored once in both the first and second quarters, three times in the third period, and twice in the fourth. Pat- ton led the scoring parade with three touch- downs and two extra points. In the traditional game with Beatrice, the the Jeffs were held scoreless for nearly four quarters on a muddy Held. Late in the final quarter, the Jeffs moved the ball to the Be- atrice three yard line. With only eighteen seconds left to play, Emmett Edwards took the ball on a wide end sweep and went over standing up to give Fairbury a 7 to 0 victory. The Jeffs continued their winning ways by pushing a beefy Grand Island team all over the lot for a 26 to 0 victory before an Arm- istice Day crowd of two thousand. The first Jeff score came early in the first quarter, when Edwards received a short pass and lateraled to Patton, who romped fifty-five yards to score. Fairbury led 19 to 0 at the half, and added another touchdown in the second half on a trick play, Patton plunging over as the be- wildered Islanders looked on. More than 500 Fairbury fans traveled to Lincoln on the special train, only to see the Jeffs lose to a speedy Jackson team in the season finale, 14 to 0. The victory gave Jack- son the Mid-East championship. After a, score- less first half, Gunn carried the ball over to give the Lincoln team the lead. Jackson scor- ed again late in the final quarter, Wolfe in- tercepting a Jeff pass and racing thirty yards to score without being touched.

'AA good time was had by all as the boys teamed up witl1 their respective girl friends. A little confusion reigned as the band tried to get lined up on leaving the train and we1'e jostled by the crowd. The band then paraded up HO street and put on their best marching performance of the yea1'. After the parade some retired to the ten cent lunch counter for sandwiches and Cokes while others shopped. The game was disappointing after several Jeffs threats fell through as the Jacksonites took over and were victors 14 to O.

The starting lineup usually consisted of Reid and Fast at ends, Butterbaugh and McGregor at tackles, Neilsen and Don Vestal at guards, Cook at center, and Baker, Hand, Garcia and Johnson in the back- field. The season opener was the Odell game, played on the home sod, September 21. Both teams battled up and down the field to no avail. Final score, 0 to 0. More successful were the reserves in their second game. They defeated the Wymore seconds by a mar- gin of two touchdowns and two extra points. Garcia was responsible for both touchdowns, running the end for the first and tossing a pass to Reid for the second. Both extra points were on passes. The first defeat of the season was suffered at the hands of the Beatrice reserves. Fairbury led by a fPage Tlzirtyfcightjl score of 7 to 6 until the final quarter when the op- ponents shook loose a runner for an end run. Final score, 13 to 7, Beatrice. The reserves next enter- tained Deshler and beat them by a score of 7 to 0. Scoring was done by Hand on a line plungeg extra point by Garcia on a pass. For their final game the Jefflets journeyed to Odell to play what looked like a duplicate of the first game until Odell scored on an intercepted pass. Final score, 7 to 0, Odell. The reserve season was distinguished by a sterling defense and a disorganized offense. Ocasionally the offense would click but hardly long enough for them to pile up a large score. Butterbaugh, McGregor, Nielson, Don Vestal, and Baker who played regularly with the second squad won major monograms by virtue of services rendered as substitutes. Line plunging by Hand and Johnson, and end runs and passing by Baker and Garcia made up the offensive. Watch charm guards, Nielsen and Vestal, kept the center of the line invulnerable to enemy attacks. Fast was occasionally drawn out of line to do the punting. The York gnnie can he picked as at typical night game, a scoreless tie.

Emmett Edwards Darrell Wiles Max Meyer Joe Neville aigafgaff .faffazman ED PATTON, Senior. Ed was noted for his defensive play, but he could also hit the basket as was shown by his points against Crete. EMMETT EDVVARDS, senior. Emmett contributed many points to the Jeff cause, his specialty being a one-handed push shot from behind the free-throw line. E was elected captain of the team at the end of the season. MAX MEYER, senior. Gripe , a regular for two years, was the tallest man on the squad. A sprained ankle, the mumps, and an attack of appendicitis did not keep Max from a starting posi- tion when he was available. NORMAN ARENDT, senior, Norman saw much service at a forward position in his first year of basketball. IPage Fortyj JOE NEVILLE, junior, The Wrangler developed steadily during the season to become a first-class defensive performer. BUD BAKER, junior. Although Bud was not a high-scorer, his defensive play and passing abil- ity made him a dependable sub- stitute. GEORGE REID, sophmore. Moved up to the first squad from the reserve team late in the season, George turned in most creditable performances at a guard position. FRANK SHIPMAN, freshman. Frank never did get the Hebron letter which it was rumored, he was to receive for the Cor- rigan he pulled in the district to u 1' n a m e n t. None-the-less, Frank was a clever ball handler and shows much promise. Bus Ellsworth Ed Patton Korman Arendt Bud Baker BOB FAST, senior. Bob showed promise of making at dependable and efficient replacement man but illness through ai large part of the season kept him from reaching' the peak possible for him to attain. Baagafgaff .fsffzzman HAROLD ELLSWORTH, jun- ior. 'fBus . who was the high scorer for the team, had thc ability to sink shots from al- most any position on the Iioor. He did not miss a quarter of play during the whole season. DARRELL YVILES, junior Darrell was a line defensive player and had a good eye for the basket as well. He was the free-throw champion of the squad.

In only a few games was the regular line-up intact. After winning five of the first eight games. the .Ieffs encountered a disastrous losing streak of seven games, which was end- ed by Fairbury's first-round victo1'y in the district tournament. Fairbury opened the season against Superior in the Hebron tournament, losing 22 to 20 after a last period 1'ally fell short. The Jeffs an- nexed the consolation title by eking out a 19 to 18 victory over Nelson. Fairbury led all the way, but was hard-pressed to stave off a fourth- quarter uprising by Nelson. In the first game of the regular schedule, the .Ieffs nipped Beatrice, 22 to 20. Fairbury then journeyed to NVilber to hand the Wolverines a 19 to 16 defeat in a rough cage tilt. The Hebron Bears provided a stumbling block for the Jeffs, chalking up a 23 to 18 victory. The Jeffs rallied to overcome a Havelock halftime lead, and win a 27 to 26 decision over the Shoptowners in a thrilling contest. Tecuinseh's ability to make good their free throws gave the Chiefs a 29 to 28 win over Fairbury in another thriller. Tecumseh sank nine out of twelve gift shots, while the Jeffs swished only four out of twelve. Edwards and Ellsworth led the Jeffs to a 37 to 26 victory over WVymore. Fairbury's smooth passing enabled the .Ieffs to overcome an early Zephyr lead. Omaha Benson limited the .Ieffs to three free throws during the first half. winning handily, 33 to 19. Fairbury met the strong Jackson outfit at Lincoln, losing by a score of 36 to 17, after be- ing but three points behind at the end of the first half. York slapped a 47 to 23 pasting on the Jeffs in a conference tilt on the Dukes' lioor. Darrell Wiles sparkled for Fairbury, scoring fifteen points. The Jeffs dropped another decision to a strong Fremont five, by a score of 43 to 21. Patton's thirteen points Were not enough. as Crete dumped the .leffs into fifth place in the conference standings. The score was 29 to 21. An inspired Fairbury team held the touted Hastings Tigers to a 26 to 25 victory, as Els- wortli scored eleven counters for the Jeffs. A last quarter Fairbury rally fell short by one point. Elsworth led the Jeffs to a 13 to 3 lead over Grand Island at the end of the first quarter, but the Islanders came back in the second half to win, 32 to 23. The .ieffs avenged an early season defeat, downing Hebron, 39 to 20. in the first round of the district tourney. In the second round, Fairbury held the state champions, Falls City, to a narrow 21 to I5 victory. It was one of the few times during the season that Falls City's offensive had been stopped, the state champs lead by only three points at one time in the final quarter. Meeting Nebraska City for the consolation title. the Jeffs ended the season with a 25 to 17 victory. Ellsworth led the Jeff scorers with eleven points. while Wiles and Patton were outstanding on defense. The lettermen were: Max Meyer, Ed Patton, Emmett Edwards, Norman Arendt, Bob Fast. Darrell Wiles, Bus Ellsworth, Joe Neville, Bud Baker, George Reid and Frank Shipman. Bus Ellsworth received honorable mention on Gregg McBride's all-state selections. fPage Fortyftwoil Back Bow: Duane Sams, Coach, Max Melvin, Lynn Shuck, Leonard Hand, Harold Jones, B111 Cook.

Three of these four were won in the last live games. The slow starting was due probably to the fact that the team was com- posed of three freshmen, Shipman, Jones and Hand, and two sophomores, Reid and Lon. The reserves opened their season by losing to the Beatrice seconds, 19 to 9, on the home floor. Also on the home floor, the second team lost a heart-breaker to Hebron, 19 to 17. They next journeyed to Wilbur to lose another close one, 25 to 23. The reserves came back to beat Steele City Hrsts, 21 to 14, on the home court. Next followed three defeats on the local floor by the first teams of Plymouth 31 to 243 Diller, 25 to 205 and Reynolds, 36 to 24. The reserves were eliminated in the first round of the tourn- ament by Plymouth. The little Jeffs came back to beat the Wymore reserves by a score of 31 to 20. To make it two in a row, they defeated Endicott, 27 to 17. The county tournament winners, Reynolds, trounced the reserves by a 49 to 14 count. Without the services of Ship- man and Reid who had been shifted to the first squad, the seconds lost to Diller, 23 to 19. With Shipman and Reid back in the line-up, the re- serves tinished their season by a 28 to 23 vic- tory over Deshler. The second team had the problem of develop- mg a team out of inexperienced material. The only minor letter winners back were Reid, Lonn and Busboom. Shipman and Reid were moved up to the first squad near the end of the season when mumps and two cases of appendicitis had cut down the varsity roster. Both won major letters. Lonn and Jones were other consistent scorers on the team.

Given little chance at the first of the season to make much headway, the 1939 track and field team proceeded to step out and win the Mid-East conference meet held at Beatrice. Prior to that meet, Fairbury had defeated Superior and Wilber in dual meets and finished four points behind first place Beatrice in the Fairbury invitational. Main point winners were Nielsen, Butterbaugh, Patton, Johnson and Yoachim. The 880 relay team of Nielsen, Long, Wiles, and Johnson placed lirst in the Mid-East meet and brought back a beautiful trophy for their efforts. Those who had earned the necessary eight points, and over, for a letter up to the time the annual went to press were Nielsen, Butterbaugh, Patton, Johnson, Yoachim, Wiles, Long, and Ellsworth. Others assured of lettering were Shipman, Remple and Mc-Kenzie. 1939 Track and Field Results Fairbury ...,...............,,,.....,,,,,....,.. ,,..,...,.. ,.,..,,, 6 5 ig Superior .... ................ ......., 5 6 M, Fairbury .... .......,. 6 9 VVilber ..... ....,,.............., ..,,.,,.. 5 3 Fairbury Invitational Beatrice ....................., ,........ 5 2 Fairbury ...., i..,,.... 4 8 Wymore .... ......... 3 4 Diller ..... ............... ......... 3 0 Mid-East Fairbury .... ,........ 4 0 Jackson ...... l........ 3 3 Beatrice .... ........ 2 45 York ......... ........ 2 35 Hastings ,... ......... 2 0 Crete .... ......... 1 3 I:Page Forty-fivej 'WL 9-Q42 5 H if 'f wif as , an HQWQUQ 'W .

Fairbury High is justly proud of its band, for no finer looking nor snappier marching band is to be found in the state. Early in the fall a campaign was started for the purchase of new uniforms. The result was that on Armistice day the band participated in the downtown . parade and drilled at the football game where they drew Ahs of admiration from the crowd. From the first football game of the season to the Hnal one with Jackson, the band entertained the crowds at half time and every occasion found some new formation added to the already fancy repertoire of tricks. Lincoln newspapers were high in their praise of the bands appearance at the Jackson game. Playing no small part in the fancy front displayed were Helen Raney, drum major, Corrine Raschke, Dorothy Dodd, and Patricia Young, twirlers, lPage Fiftyffoufrl Back Row: Bob Dodd, llarry Dalke, Harold Poppe, Harold Boone, Betty Bauman, Jack Ansen, Frank Shipman, Jun Denny, Duane Barnhart, Kathleen Brickell, Mr. Foust.
