From the Chief, we learn that this festival is the annual pow-wow of the seniors of '51 of Wahoo High School. Upon further query, we learn: Lloyd Novotny has at last found his place in the world. He is the highest paid teacher in New York state and his greatest achievement is in his pupil, Donna Samek, who just this spring completed her high school course. i-One of the best-matched couples we were introduced to is Mr. and Mrs. James Rezac, nee Shirley Vybiral, who are spending their honeymoon at the reunion.

Xu S' Smoke Signals Of The Z 1 5 w Warriors Sound The Tom-Toms K- Q. Ta NM' WW 'i fel. .fr 'im The music department, under the direction of Mr. Hughes and Miss Laflin, was very active. Mr. Hughes directed the band, orchestra, chorus, and boys' glee. Miss Laflin directed the girls' glee and various small groups. There were forty-two members in the band. They played and marched at football games, at the annual Luther homecoming celebration, and for the first basketball game in the new gymnasium. They also played at the tri-city clinic held at Bellevue on February 1, and at the annual spring band concert, pre- paratory to the music contest. Part of the group played during a Christmas pageant. The band was really on the march and, because of the effort put forth by each member, showed great improvement. During the first semester the orchestra consisted of eighteen members. However, at the beginning of the second semester, it was dissolved into a number of small groups: a string class of ten, a woodwind group of eight, a brass ensemble of seven. These groups met once a week during the regular orchestra periods. Several small groups participated in the district contest and earned high ratings. The girls' glee had an enrollment of fifty-two. They sang at the winter concert and the annual music festival. A number of small groups in the vocal department were very active. These groups included the girls' sextet, the girls' triple trio, the boys' octet, the boys' quartet, and the mixed quartet. They, too, sang for many organizations in and near Wahoo. The twenty-six individuals in boys' glee sang at the Armistice Day pro- gram, winter and spring concerts, music contest, and junior class play. Members of the glee clubs and other students made up the mixed chorus. They sang at the winter and spring concerts, and music contest. They also made a public appearance at the Farmers Co-op banquet. The student body appreciated the pep band. It helped to make the basket- ball games and rallies noisy and lively, and was an inspiration to the players.

The paper was under the di- rection of Miss Arnold, who spent much of her time after school and during the evenings with members of the staff. It represented careful planning, originality, and much work. When the reporters, feature writers, and editor had completed their respective columns, the clever cartoonists and headliners began their jobs. Next in line was Miss Doty and her skillful typists. After the mimeographers had the last Chieftain off the press, the subscription and exchange editors hust- led about the building and distributed the papers. Some were sent to other schools, too. Each Chieftain, seven in all, carried a different theme suited to the month or occasion. These periodicals represented an effort to reflect life in all its phases.

The dance honored all the new students. The Armistice Day program consisted of several musical numberg speeches by Tom Lindau and Major Charles P. Bartovvg and taps which echoed through the silent halls. The flag salute concluded the program. The Christmas program featured a television show. Kenneth Kunce played Santa Claus, busily filling requests at his North Pole workshop. A group of aspiring boys sang, accompanied by Ray Keefer. Phyllis Frahm played a clarinet solo, and Joe Krause performed on his ac- cordion. lVIr. Hughes led the students in group singing of Christmas carols. Grayce Anderson concluded the program as she read the Christrnas story by candlelight. Later in the year the forum assisted in collecting and shipping clothing to foreign and needy children.

The Pep Club wsshsggomposed of the customary fifty members, enough girls being chosen at the beginning of the school year to fill the vacancies left by graduates. The new persons were initiated at a supper by the former members. Varied activities took place during the school year. The football season was given a rousing start with a snake dance. Just before the Valley game, the pep club, pep band, and other students paraded through down-town Wahoo. VVhether it was basketball or football, skits were given before each home gameg these skits were often written by Pep Club members and were al- ways entertaining. Buses were chartered to carry the members to out-of-town games, including the tournament. The pep band assisted the Pep Club both at skits and games. Officers for 1950-51 were: Joyce Kuhr, presidentg Lois Mays, vice-pres- identg Mary Ludi, secretary-treasurerg and lVIrs. Worrall, sponsor.

Ashland 0 ' Denotes conference game This season, as in the previous one, the Warriors put another feather in Wahoo's cap by running off with another Eastern Nebraska Seven Conference Football Championship. With nine letterrnen back, the hopefuls started off on the right foot by beating Seward, the first time in thirteen years. After a loss to David City, the Warriors went undefeated through the conference. This year there was less depth on the squad and the combined efforts of each individual paid off in victory through teamwork. Jerry Peterson, Don Harris and Ray Lanik rated first team berths on the conference team. Jerry Peterson received mention as a guard in the all-state selections. Ray Lanik received first team berth on All-Class-B elections and was the only one to crash the All-Class team from a Class B school. To add to this, he also received nation- wide mention on the All-Ainerican High School Team. Much credit was due to their coaches, J im Sandstedt and Keith Wieder- span, who molded the Warriors into a team of championship caliber. Much credit-was also due to the squad as a whole and to the student managers, Bill Leitgeb and Tom McMahon. will W . QM, ffl MMM Eskimos In The Northland J' On the warm moonlit evening of May 5, 1950, the juniors and seniors of Wahoo High School were on the way to the formal event which had been anticipated all year. When they arrived at Dance Island, the nice warm atmosphere was immediately changed. After crossing the Arctic Circle, guests went into the Northland and found themselves beneath a white sky, which was festooned with white streamers and icicles. Animal freizes and snow scenes decorated the walls. Erected in one corner was a snowy scene. In the center of which was an eight-foot igloo of intense white on a snowy field. This was flooded with blue light beneath blue stars and a gold moon. Polar bears and penguins added to the picture. The punch table had for its background a large rainbow. Tl1e party theme was further emphasized by icebergs and eskimo dolls. The four sophomore waiters and waitresses were dressed as ice fairies. They served refreshments to guests seated at twenty-eight small tables appointed with winter centerpieces. Favors were snow balls and penguins. Dancing was to the music of the Dave Haun orchestra. Officers of the two classes and their partners led the grand march. Mothers of the junior class of- ficers and committee chairmen assisted with the serving. School board members, faculty members, their wives and husbands were special guests. Miss Cecil McCarter, junior class sponsor, and the various committees planned and carried out the project. It was the outstanding event of the school year. Something New Has Been Added ,i:,s,,,k , ,K At last! Our high school has that long-awaited new addition. The facilities include a 50' x 841' basketball court, an ultra-modern home arts laboratory, four dressing rooms, two sets of showers, a ticket office, a health suite, two restrooms, and additional rooms for the storage of athletic equipment. The new gym will seat 800 people at a basketball game. It will seat 1200 people for an attraction on the stage. Seating capacity includes new folding and moving bleachers. In addition, there is a new time clock on the north wall, compliments of the 419' and 50' graduating class. Thanks, grads! In a conspicuous place in the lobby of this new building is a heavy bronze plaque memorialyzing the graduates of Wahoo High School who were killed in action in World War II. The cost of this fine addition is S180,000. The seniors of 1951 are proud to initiate it for commencement exercises. Student Life I. Swing your parlner 6 2. Slap him down again, 7 Maw! 8 3.
