Senior Class History On a typical fall day in 1949 a new group of Freshmen entered the gates of Falls City High School. We felt very lost as we wandered from door to door trying to find our proper classrooms and excessively timid as the upper classmen looked down their noses at us. However, by gathering every ounce of courage we had in us, we soon settled down to this new life with remarkable ease. With our class sponsors, Miss Graves and Mr. Hansen, lending a helping hand, we elected our class officers — Douglas Gibson, president; Ernie Ridgeway, vice-president; and Sally Poage, secretary-treasurer. Ann Carter and Carl Vander Veen were chosen to represent us on the student activity committee. We didn’t finish the first year unrecognized, for Douglas Gibson won a basketball letter and Carol Morehead was elected cheerleader. We also took part in chorus, glee club, band, physical education, and on the Honor Roll. In the fall of 1950 we returned to old Falls City High, now experienced hands at this business of high school life. Under the guidance of Mrs. Cummins, Miss Fase, and Miss Shook, we elected the following leaders: Leah Rae Ketter, president; Charles Baker, vice-president; Helen Wittrock, secretary-treasurer; and Glenda Lunsford and Sarol Wiltse on the Activities Committee. By this time everyone had discovered that we were no ordinary class In the sports field this was proven when Bill Bedwell, Ernie Ridgeway, and Carl Vander Veen earned football letters, and Delmar Bowers, Doug Gibson, and Bob Norton were awarded letters in basketball. Later in the year, Doug Gibson and Carl Vander Veen received track letters. As before, we were well-represented in extra-curricular activities and on the Honor Roll. Carol Morehead again represented us on the cheering squad. After a three-month vacation we returned in 1951 as upper-classmen. The first half of our high school career was over but the best was yet to come. Our first job was to elect new leaders. With the help of our new sponsors, Miss Shook, Miss Fase, Mr. Hansen, and Mr. Hahn, we elected Glenda Lunsford as president; Charles Baker as vice-president; and Leah Ketter, secretary-treasurer. Representing us on the Activities Committee were Bill Bedwell, Virginia Reavis, and Carl Vander Veen. On December 14, the Junior Class Play, “Street of Dreams,” was presented under the direction of Miss Sukovaty. The cast included Gretchen Green, Ann Carter, Leah Ketter, Betty Bell, Linda Buthman, Carol Morehead, Sally Poage, Carole Zentner, Shirley Buch- holz, Charles Baker, Gary Wamsley, George Hunker. Carolyn Raymond, and Jim Dunn. Helen Wittrock spoke between acts and Virginia Reavis was narrator. The staff consisted of Georgia Bauer, Helen Wittrock, Jo Ann Clumpner, Doug Gibson, Dale Krause, Kay Kirk, Virginia Reavis, and Shirley Hamm. This year, as in other years we were well represented in G. A. A. awards, in band and music contests, and on the Honor Roll. We also took a part in Corn-husker County Government. We were very proud when Charles Baker, Bill Bed-well, Leonard Crawley, Charles Ebel, Doug Gibson, Dale Huettner, Gene Killingsworth, Gerald Nolte, Bob Norton, Ernie Ridgeway, Carl Vander Veen, and Richard Wiedmaier received football letters and Doug Gibson, Delmar Bowers, and Bob Norton were awarded basketball letters. Carol Morehead and Linda Buthman were elected as cheerleaders. The climax of our Junior year was the banquet, given on May 3, 1952. The theme of this banquet was “Mardi Gras.” In every way it excelled almost every banquet ever given in Falls City High School. We began our final year at dear old F. C. H. S. by electing the following officers: Arvid Hoel, president; Shirlee Steinhauer, vice-president; Bob Norton, secretary-treasurer. The Seniors having voice on the Activities Committee were Leah Ketter, Carol Morehead, and Charles Ebel. This year we were especially well represented in athletics with Charles Baker, Bill Bedwell, Leonard Crawley, Charles Ebel, Gerald Nolte, Robert Norton, Ernie Ridgeway, Carl Vander Veen, and Richard Wiedmaier, earning football letters, and Delmar Bowers, Doug Gibson, and Bob Norton earning basketball letters. Even more lettered in track. In girls athletics twenty girls earned their second state G. A. A. awards. The Orange Black staff consisted of Helen Wittrock, Donna Schatz, Marjorie Wittrock, Bill Bedwell, Shirley Hamm, Arvid Hoel, Virginia Reavis, Carol Morehead, Sally Poage, Sarol Wiltse, George Hunker, Charles Baker, Leah Ketter, and Bob Norton. Carol Morehead, Linda Buthman, and Glenda Lunsford were elected for the cheering squad. Helen Wittrock was chosen “Miss Falls City” for the Hiawatha Halloween Festival. It was the privilege of the Senior class to be the guests of the Junior class at the annual Junior-Senior Banquet on May 1, 1953. On May 5, the Senior Class Play, “Fog Island,” was presented under the direction of Mr. Korslund. Baccalaureate services were held on May 24, and Commencement exercises on May 28. On May 29 we returned to Falls City High for the last time to receive our report cards. This concludes the 1953 history of the Senior Class, but this certainly does not mean the finish, for the Senior Class is really just beginning!
