Senior Class History --1-f1ml:-1- Four years ago early one bright rnornling, in .September 1928, sixty curious newcomers went exploring for progress During our course of exploring, we have come upon tasks which would have been heavy if it had not been for our teachers, classmates and friends. We have taken part in activities of every kind, iincluding music, athletics, debate, dramatlcs, etc. This year, the basketball team, largely represented by seniors, won the Southeastern Championship of Nebraska. Those who led us on -our exploring during the four years have been as fol- lows: Freshman year-Max Kerns, president, Crissie Rist, vice-presidentg Friel Kerns, secretary, Nellie. Marie Howe and Irma Casey, sponsors, 'Sophomore year-Doris Trimble, president, Loren Schuler, vice-president, Leah Ruth Cornelius, secretary- treasurerg Merna Harris and Nellie Marie Howe, sponsors, Junior year-Leah Ruth Cornelius, president, Richard Nimis, vice-presidentg Arlene Whitney, secretary-treas urerg same sponsors as sophomore year, Senior year-Margaret Fergus, president, Robert Burow, vice-preslldent, Wilma Koeneke, secretary and treasurer, same spon- sors as last year. Soon our exploring on this ocean will be done. We are now only twenty-nine in number but we have found the land of Progress, We shall now continue on an- other ocean to find the land of Life As we leave our underclassmen to take the ship we have left behind, we only hope they may not anchor, but sail on to a land called Success We shall never for- get .these wonderful four years which have bound so closely with our teachers a.nd school friends. -Margaret M.

'., ,.. 1 l Norma Somerhalder was a master farmer and spent her spare hours in con- ducting demonstration meetings showing farmers how to raise a skinless and eyeless potato. Crissie Rist was known as the John Philip Sousa of his day and had con- ducted the national Marine band at the inauguration of Murray. Marie Boomgaarn and Doris Colson were busy working out a new theory in arithmetic to the effect that if you multiplied a ten dollar bill by zero you would still have the ten. They are get- ting ready for the next depression. Melvin Babcock had taken over Ziegfield's Follies at the time of Ziegfield's death and just now was spending much time and money in finding a chorus of girls with long hair so as to stage the Chorus of 1900. About this time it seemed that someone was shaking me and I aroused from my interesting fantasy to hear Miss Walt asking what time I got in last might. -Ruth Grossenbacher, '32 Senior Class Will We, members of the senior class, leave our ship of goods to those, who so thoughtfully will follow in our course. I, Arlene Whitney, leave my clever little sayings to anyone who can re- membcr them. I, Robert Montgomery ,bequeath my bashfulness to Lena Harms, who could easily do without it. I, Vivian Smith, bestow my art of blushing on George Warner and Ralph Harshbarger. I, Dan Wright, leave rrry-'tgirl shy way to Forrest Day and John Wm. Uhri, both of whom have become immunized, I, Norma. Somer- halder, leave my friendly smile to Opal Herdlitchka. I, Donald Louderback, being very generous, leave my sleepishness on Mon- day mornings to Earlene Bentley who doesn't really need it. I, Doris Trimble, leave my winning personality to Dorothy Myer. I, Crissie Rist, leave my place as an eli- gible young bachelor to George Pipal who does not desire to be otherwllse. I, Viola Robertson, leave my mud-driving ability to Irene Rist. I, Edwin Bentley, leave my ability as a singer to Jerry Nemechek. I, Ailane Hayes, leave my Masculine Ideals to Zella Wittwer. I, Ralph Hendrix, leave my tin can to Frederick Fankhauser who needs it. I, Evelyn Jaros, leave my innocent looks to Irene Rist who is innocently personified. I, Friel Kerns, leave my ability to argue with the teachers to several who need this art. I, Leath Ruth Cornelius, leave my stay-home-nights inclinations to Dorothy Rausch, who needs it. I, Richard Nims, leave my ability to get by to Merle Snoke who hasn't completely mastered the art. I, Marie Boomgaarn, leave my re- ticencc and demureness to Lawrence Day who could use some of it. I, Glen Carpenter, leave my unexpressed opinions to Charles Reid. We, Elizabeth Gridley, Wilma Koeneke and Wilma Hunzeker, leave our noon hour walks to John Voellers, Earl Parli and Dale Goodhart who won't use them. I, Melvin Babcock, leave my interest in girls to Thaline England who is totally disinterested? I, Doris Colson, leave my sheikish ways to Wilma Nvrigh-t. I, Edna Kerr, leave my giggles and gum to Pauline Beauchamp. I, Ruth Grossenbacher, leave several love romances to Lena Harms and Janice Rist.
