Senior Class History On August 31, 1950, thirty-seven bewildered looking Freshman gathered in the Study Hall to take their entrance exams. These confused and green ffeshies were bound to become the Class of '54. For our class officers we chose Bob Eckland as President; Terry Saunders, Vice-president; Beverly Van Wey, Secretary; and Leo Mahoney as Treasurer. Our class sponsor was Ed Nissen. For our motto we chose; Build for character, not for fame . Our flower is the white carnation, and the class colors are Royal Blue and White. We were given an initiation party by the Sophomores and later had our own class parties. Our Freshman year proved very successful with the loss of only three classmen during the year. Our Sophomore year proved to be very dull and we were blamed for everything that went wrong. (We were to blame, but no one could prove it.) The class officers were President-Beth Hirsch; Vice-president-Jerry Evans; Secretary-Judy Carter; and Treasurer-Terry Saunders. Our sponsor was William Maben. This year we had thirty-three in the class. In our four years in high school, our Junior year was the most rushed and hardest of all. On Oct. 28, a well chose cast under the direction of Lamont Larson, presented a very successful comedy Cheaper by the Dozen. We won the Interclass Basketball Tournament on Nov. 30th by beating the Seniors. Our next great project was the Annual Style Show, which we presented on the Nights of April 27 and 28. Through the cooperation of our class sponsors; Augusta Anderson, Derys Schultze, and Walter Peterson, this event was very successful. Ca-vecho Revue was the theme, we chose. On May 4th, we presented the Junior-Senior banquet, which was a gay affair. Our theme was Springtime. The gym was beautifully decorated with a wishing well. May Pole, and garden furniture. Our class officers for the year were Madeline Werts, as President; Jerry Evans, Vice-president; Lois Mat-zen. Secretary; and Nana Cumming, as Treasurer. We ended our Junior year with only thirty in the class. Lois Matzen went to Girls State and Keith Jensen went to Boys State. On Aug. 28th, we registered for the last time in SEHS, with only twenty-four in the class, all who were of the original freshman class. For our last class officers we chose for President-Judy Carter; Vice-president-Dale Matson; Secretary-Beth Weldon; and Treasurer-Beverly Van Wey. Our sponsors are JoAnn Spohn and Don Schultze. We received our class rings on September 9th, and then went to Columbus and Albion to sell advertisements for the yearbook, which was under the sponsorship of the Senior Class. On October 23rd, we motored to Columbus to have our Senior Class pictures taken. We were very proud when we received word, that our Sam was an All-Stater, who had been picked by the Lincoln Journal Star sports staff. The Class of '54 was again Champions of the Interclass Basketball Tournament by beating the Juniors on Nov. 17. A mystery-comedy in three acts, The Case of the Missing Heirs , was presented by the graduating class on Feb. 9th. It was under the direction of Sally Beck. Bright and early on March 26, we left the underclassmen to go to Omaha to enjoy all the sights that there were to see. The evening ended with a tired bunch of happy Seniors returning from a gay day, that no one will forget. On April 26-27, the class participated in the Style Show Mode Of The Mist when we all turned on our charm and wore the latest styles. Sunday, May 9th, the Baccalaureate sermon was presented by Dr. Bert Dessire of the Methodist Church. The evening commenced our last week as Seniors in the St. Edward High School. On the Fourteenth of May, Dr. Earl Wiltse of Grand Island gave the Commencement Address, and we received our diplomas with outstretched hands. Thus concluded our unforgettable and memorable four years in the St. Edward High. There will be no other phase in our lives that the memories will be as dear to us, as the ones of our dear old school. 18
