SENIOR CLASS HISTORY by Margaret Lewis On a bright sunny day in September a group of eighty-four students made their first trip to the building where secondard education is taken up. We were freshmen in other words, and we were pretty fresh, too. With the help of our sponsors, Mrs. Kline and Mr. Jeffers, we elected the following class officers: Larry Ketter, president; Diane Shipley, vice-president; Joyce Pflaum, secretary-treasurer; and Carol Downey and Bob Dougherty, student activities. Those on the Honor Roll were: Donna Brocker, Donald Dorr, Carol Downey, Phyllis Hahn, David Joy, Larry Ketter, Margaret Lewis, Wayne Morris, Eleanor Motsinger, Joyce Pflaum, Edwina Poteet, Donald Rie-schick, Diane Shipley, Roger Speers, Dennis Steadman, and Ann Stout. Those attending the District Music Contest at Peru and Band Day at Lincoln were Marie Robinson, Ann Stout, Don Dorr, Ronnie Hill, Velma Speers, David Joy, Beverly Bauer, and Dennis Steadman. A large percentage of the boys participated in the sports field. Jere Cochran won a basketball letter, and Don Linscott won a track letter. The remaining part of our class participated in Homemaking, Girls’ and Boys’ Physical Education, F. F. A., and Trades and Industries. On May 25, 1954, we completed the first of four years in which we were to spend in the “brick hospital for the feeble minded.” After a rest of three months, we returned to F. C. H. S. as sophomores on a rainy September Monday morning. Between trips to third floor, we elected our class officers: LaMarr Gibson, president; Sheila Kessler, vice-president; Ann Stout, secretary-treasurer; Nancy Darling and Bill Dykes, activity committee. This year we were very well represented in the extra-curricular activities. In the Band Department David Joy was on the Executive Board; Ann Stout, Beverly Bauer, Dee Ann Vonderschmidt, Don Dorr, Velma Speers, David Joy, Ronald Hill, and Vanetta Sutter went to Peru to attend the District Band Contest. Those who attended the District Vocal Contest were Edwina Poteet, Beverly Bauer, Kenneth Zentner, Don Dorr, Eldon Baker, Rodger Speers, Kay Bauer, Jane Rude, Don Johnson, Dennis Steadman. Edwina Poteet was a member of the Dozenettes. Nancy Darling was elected the first G. A. A. officer from our class. Jere Cochran and LaMarr Gibson won football letters and Jere also won a basketball award. Members of the F. F. A. were Wilbur Chestnut, Kenneth Zentner, John Werner, Dennis Merz, Robert Howe, Gary Goll, Ronald Kirkendall, and Don Rie-schick. Those who showed their intellectual ability being on the Honor Roll were Joyce Pflaum, Edwina Poteet, Jane Rude, Diane Shipley, Margaret Lewis, Ann Stout, Eleanor Motsinger, and David Joy. With this we left F. C. H. S. for three months to recover from the biology brain washing we received from Miss Shook. We re-entered the sacred institution for the third consecutive year. Those who led us to victory in many fields also helped us with our class activities. Our sponsors were Miss Shook, Miss Fase, Mrs. Hahn, Mrs. Kinkead, and Mr. Person. Our class officers were: Margaret Lewis, president; Eleanor Motsinger, vice-president; Joyce Pflaum, secretary-treasurer; and Diane Shipley, Jim Fisher, and Larry Ketter, activity committee. Students attending Band Day at Lincoln, Peru Band Clinic, and District Music Contest at Peru were Virginia Bowman, Carol Vogele, Diane Shipley, Jane Rude, Nancy Darling, Beverly Bauer, Margaret Smith, Margaret Lewis, David Joy, Don Dorr, and Dee A nr. Vonderschmidt. Students participating and winning awards in the Peru Speech Contest were Virginia Bowman, and Jerry Lunsford. We saw athletic ability in our high school go down in history with the winning of the Class “A” Basketball State Championship. Those who made the trip to the Lincoln tournaments were Don Campbell, LaMarr Gibson, and Larry Ketter. Football letter winners were John Werner, Bill Dykes, LaMarr Gibson, Larry Ketter, Donald Linscott, Jerry Lunsford, and Roger West. Track award placers were John Werner, Ervin James, Larry Ketter, and Don Linscott. Werner qualified in the state meet in the 440-yard dash. Under the direction of Mrs. Gatz, we presented our class play — “Curtain Going Up.” The cast was made up of Virginia Bowman, Joyce Pflaum, Carol Vogele, Don Law, Don Linscott, Dennis Merz, Sheila Kessler, Vanetta Sutter, Diane Shipley, Jane Rude, Geraldine Koester, Eldon Baker, Kenneth Zentner, Eleanor Motsinger, Gary Goll, Larry Ketter, John Werner, LaMarr Gibson, Don Dorr, Louise Schnute, Alice Eickoff, Nancy Darling, Margaret Lewis, Margaret Smith, Bill Dykes, Gerald Peck, Don Rieschick, Beverly Bauer, Lois Finner, and Carol Downey. Junior Girls who won their First State Awards were Joyce Pflaum, Kay Eickoff, Diane Shipley, Eleanor Motsinger, Carol Downey, Nancy Darling, Sheila Kessler, Margaret Lewis, Margaret Smith, and Retta Moore. Diane Shipley and Eleanor Motsinger were on the cheerleading squad. Falls City High School’s delegates to Cornhusker Girls’ and Boys’ County Government were: Kenneth Zentner, Jane Rude, Diane Shipley, John Werner, Carol Downey, Harold Hooper, LaMarr Gibson, Joyce Pflaum, Larry Ketter, Roger West, Don Linscott, Francis Ferguson, Gerald Peck, and Robert Howe; Margaret Lewis was Falls City’s representative to Cornhusker Girls’ State Government at Lincoln. Throughout the basketball season we raised money for our Banquet by taking over the concessions since our class was so small and since our class dues would
