Junior Class History On one dreary, rainy day in the fall of 1951, we first crossed the threshold to a new and better life inside the walls of Falls City High School. The journey which was about to begin would take four of the most important years of our lives. We must admit we were very green and more than a little bewildered at all we saw going on inside the walls of our new home. However, like a good omen, the next day dawned bright and glorious and we proceeded along the highways of our new lives happily and successfully. Before long our lives took on a new meaning — horizons broadened and expanded. Each step of our journey brought forth new and better hopes for the future. Sometimes along the way we stumbled and swayed, but we did not fall! Instead, we each set up a new goal. With this in mind, we rose and faltered no more — we conquered and overcame our mistakes. Soon we were taking an active part in establishing the history of our dear Alma Mater. As our ship sailed off into the sea of knowledge under the guidance of Miss Graves, Mr. Simon, and Mr. Hansen, we elected as members of our able crew the following classmates: President, Ann Bedwell; Vice-president, Nels Kjeldson; Secretary-treasurer, Bob Miller; and Student Activities Committee, Mary Beth Lennemann and Patricia Darling. As our ship danced over the waves many of our classmates' cherry smiles were seen in chorus, band, physical education, and honor roll pictures. Many of us also went to Lincoln for Band Day. We held up our share of honors in football, basketball, and track. Football awards went to Gary Adams, Jim Lunsford, and Juluis Zimmerman. A basketball award went to Nels Kjeldsen, and track awards went to Gary Adams, Nels Kjeldsen, Jim Lunsford, and Julius Zimmerman. The first part of our voyage had passed quickly and we felt that we had taken a long stride toward our destination. After a three months' leave, we were back as Sophomores, ready and waiting. We continued along our merry way by electing, under the guidance of Miss Shook, Miss Fase, and Miss Oberlender, this, our second group of officers: President, Jerry Buchholz, Vice-president, Virginia Griffiths; Secretary-treasurer, Marilyn Ebel; and Student Activities Committee, Connie Schock and Larry Sailors to lead us through the bounding waves. Again the extra curricular activities were participated in by many of our active passengers. We did our share again in football, with letters earned by Nels Kjeldsen, Jim Lunsford, Jerry Buchholz, Gary Adams, and Julius Zimmerman. Basketball letters went to Gary Adams and Nels Kjeldsen; while track letters went to Gary Adams, Nels Kjeldsen, Jim Lunsford, Julius Zimmerman, Jerry Buchholz, Milan Quigley, and Jim Sefried. We took part in the Peru Chorus Clinic and District Band and Vocal Contest at Auburn. Honor Roll honors were ours again. In the fall of 1953 we entered once more the doors of our ship as upper classmen. Ambitious and anxious to set an example for the under classmen, we elected, under the supervision of Miss Shook and Miss Fase, the following: President, Nels Kjeldsen; Vice-president, Susan Mitchell; Secretary-treasurer, Kay Ludwig; and Student Activities Committee, Ann Bedwell, Jerry Buchholz, and Jerry Faller. This year we again attended Band Day at Lincoln and Band and Chorus Clinic at Peru. Barbara Gilliland went to State Band Clinic and Susan Mitchell went to State Chorus Clinic. We also went to the District Band and Vocal Contest at Peru and the Peru Speech Contest. In the field of sports, football awards went to Gary Adams, Nels Kjeldsen, Julius Zimmerman, and Jim Lunsford. Basketball letters were earned by Gary Adams and Nels Kjeldsen; and track awards went to many. We had elections for Cornhusker County Government and spent a day in public office. First G. A. A. awards went to Patty Darling, Joy Smith, Sondra Stednitz, Gertrude Wells, Betty Bauman, Pat McGuire, Thelma Eickhoff, Darleen Fritz, Mary Ann Hahn, Sondra Hahn, and Eleanor Werner. Julia Dowell and Ann Bedwell went to “Play Day at the Universary in Lincoln as Junior representatives. We presented a comedy “Mother Was a Freshman, to a large and appreciative audience, under the direction of Mrs. Clarence Nutter. Susan Mitchell, Larry Steadman, Barbara Gilliland, Virginia Griffiths, Nels Kjeldsen, Larry Steadman, Duane Schmutzer, Gary Adams, Roger Eickhoff, Marjorie Hartman, Julia Dowell, Mary Anne Hahn, Patricia Darling, Sondra Mumrn, and Pat McGuire were members of the cast. The prompters were Connie Schock and Ann Bedwell; stage-manager, Jerry Buchholz; narrator, Kay Ludwig; and make-up, Mrs. Lloyd Hahn, aided by Norma Hunzeker and Mary Beth Lennemann. On May 1, 1954, at the J. S. Banquet, we bade farewell to our friends, the seniors, who had successfully completed their time inside the walls of Falls City High. As you can see, our strides toward our destination have been firm and decisive. Each has provided a strong building block for the foundation of our likes. We have one year left in which to put the finishing touches on our high school careers. We have worked hard and had fun. What we have done will not be forgotten by any one of us. In another year we will arrive at our destination with sufficient time, knowledge, and experience to embark on another longer journey to newer and greater horizons! Ann Bedwell
