Seniors Make the Donald Slosser Beverly Snyder Most of the Year Wahoo High's graduating class of 1967, better known as the Seniors made the most of their final year at W.H.S. Early this winter they picked up corn in order to earn money. This money was used in sponsoring the Christmas Dance. As a final fling, the Senior Class took a field trip to Omaha in the Spring. After graduation the Seniors feel they will be ready to face the future. 19 George Styskai Jack Trutno Reva Vermeline Royce Stuchlik Steve Spradling Sarah Taylor Linda Tousignant Kenneth Swanson Graduation Brings Honors to Seniors May 26, 1967 was a special day for the graduating seniors of Wahoo High.

It was decided that the banquet would be moved to the Star Lite Ballroom. To raise money, the juniors operated the concession stand at the home football and basketball games. Juniors experienced chemistry classes for the first time instead of physics. They proved themselves adept chemists by trying their hands at burning up the chemistry lab. A few tiny explosions were noticed once in a while in the lab. K. Duncan R. Ecklund ”Oh you guys, listen to this . . . J. Caha M. Cole J. Edstrom D. Everman F. Graft I. Caha J. Croghan C. Epp B.

Injuries Hinder Football Record Wahoo Warriors finished the 1966 football season with a record of 3 wins and 6 losses. Key injuries proved to be a setback for the Wahoo gridders. Even though Wahoo's team was the littlest team in the conference, the Warriors pulled through with some very impressive game statistics. These were particularly apparent in the homecoming game, which gave them a victory over Blair. 40 ZIMMERMAN SERVICE STATION TIRES, BATTERIES, ACCESSORIES WAHOO, NEBRASKA Wahoo and Ashland, old rivals, play a tough game.

Wahoo's varsity golfers traveled once again to the State meet where they finished third behind Holdrege and York. A new swing to golf was seen at Wahoo this year. Under the direction of Mrs. Albers, thirteen young ladies proved their skill with the clubs. An amazing record was set by these girls in their first tournament competition.

One competition was held at the Cornhusker Hotel in Lincoln, boasting some Nebraska high school entries. W.H.S. cheerleaders came out on top by capturing first place honors.

Its members have gone all out this year in an attempt to back the athletic department and boostschoolspirit. They decorated everything from lockers to buses to players' houses. Pep rally skits and signs in the halls were a weekly job of this organization. The annual Homecoming dance and parade were organized by the Pep Club. Pep Club members found something to do every day of Homecoming week. Each girl was assigned toaplayerwhom she called nightly to recite a victory poem. Cupcakes were served after practice, and booster buttons were given to the boys. An addition to this year's activities was a special night honoring the senior players' parents.

The Christmas Concert was the first performance of the band. A spring concert was held late in the spring. Instead of an AK-SAR-BEN Conference Band Clinic, exchange concerts were held with Papillion High School. The band received a II at District Contest this year. 60 How con you play, Mary, with your eyes closed? Drummers provided many interesting beats. Does your singing help your directing, Mr. McCormick? 61 Warriorettes Add Spice to Band An early summer tryout gave Wahoo High six majorettes and one drum majorette. Their first performance was in the Nabraskaland parade held in Lincoln during early June. They also appeared in the Shrine Bowl and Saunders County Fair parades. During the fall, the majorettes provided a major part of many shows during halftimes of football games. The majorettes turned into Warriorettes for Homecoming with white leather Indian Maiden outfits. The other new uniform was a blue skirt and top with gold inserts in the skirt and a gold W” on the top. DRUM MAJORETTE: Jane Edstrom MAX'S DRUG STORE S H Green Stomps Wahoo, Nebraska Susan Peetz Kathy Meese Shoron Swanson Cheryl Johnson 63 New Uniforms Provide Trophy Try it again.11 This phrase brought agonizing cries from band members during band rehearsals in the fall. Again and again and again the band went over those small details which, when perfect, made a great looking and sounding band. The late arrival of the new uniforms caused Wahoo to go to the Plattsmouth Marching Band Festival in the old gold ones. The band received an excellent rating. Resolving to do better, bolstered by the appearance of the new uniforms, and with much more use of that phrase— try it again —the band traveled to Lincoln for the State Marching Band Contest. The new uniforms helped win a trophy for appearance, but once more, the band received an excellent rating.

Yearbook Staff Reorganized Taking pictures, selling ads, adding pages for extra interest were only a few of the activities of the Thunder-bird staff. The enterprising staff brought The Bodds, a local combo to the student body by sponsoring a sock hop following one of the basketball games. This year's Thunderbird was edited by Connie Man-stedt. Aiding the editor for the first time were six associate editors-one for each section of the yearbook--and their committee workers. Each committee spent what seemed to be endless hours preparing layout; and individual members were responsible for writing copy, typing, and proofreading. In addition to publishing the Thunderbird, the staff hosted the Annual Dance following the Jr.-Sr. Banquet. Mr. MocFarland consoles the ossociate editors. 74 BRODAHL MTR. CO.

Spanish Club Has an Ambitious Year A All members of the sophomore and junior classes that take Spanish are entitled to join the Spanish Club. It is an organization designed to give the members a chance to use the language they are learning. This year's club was sponsored by Miss Connie Wallin, who was assisted by John Brodahl, pres.; Suzanne Sand-stedt, vice-pres.; Bob Liliedahl, secretary; and Evelyn Heineman, treasurer. They worked together to plan their Christmas party, at which they learned the Mexican Hat Dance and broke a pinata. They also planned the trip to the El Charro Cafe in Omaha where the members tasted real Spanish food.

I Remember Mama Is Fall Play This year's all-school Fall Play was I Remember Mama by Kathryn Forbes. Directed by Charles Carlson and Ken Johnson, it was a success both nights, November 17 and 18. The story of the play shows how Mama, with the help of her husband and Uncle Chris, bring up the children in their modest San Francisco home during the early years of the century. Mama, a sweet and capable manager, sees her children through childhood, manages to educate them and to see one of her daughters begin her career as a writer. Mama's sisters and uncle furnish a rich background for a great deal of comedy and a little incidental tragedy, while the doings of the children manage to keep everyone in pleasant turmoil. “I sow o white tornado!

This play is one of the most popular plays of that period. It was chosen for the spring play to give both students and audience members a glimpse of the early nineteenth century. The play shows Mrs. Bennet, mother of five girls, in her quest to get each married. During the play, she succeeds in getting three of them married off, and can then concentrate on the other two. Pride and Prejudice in itself is the clash between the pride of Darcy and the prejudice of Elizabeth. Many hours were spent on the set. The sisters comfort each other.

These people are selected on the basis of the students' activities, ability to meet public, and personality. The chosen Staters attend the convention in Lincoln at the University of Nebraska where they learn about the state's governmental system. Here they compete in elections for state and town offices. After the week is over, the Staters return to their community to report on the convention to their American Legion Auxiliary. This year Steve Anderson was Wahoo's Boy Stater.

An enormous windmill was the center of attraction, and tulips were scattered everywhere. In one corner of the dance floor was a tulip enlarged to be the throne of the Thunderbird King and Queen. Cheryl Johnson, junior class president, was mistress of ceremonies at the banquet. Dr. Ward offered words of advice and encouraged all students to be proud of their hometown. The prom servers added to the theme with Dutch costumes and also presented a skit. Later at the dance, the Ray Backman Orchestra provided soft music while the excitement was building. Finally, the time came to crown the new king and queen. Connie Manstedt, editor of the Thunderbird announced Nancy Schmer, Queen, and Ken Kontos, King of the 1967 Thunderbird. They were crowned by 1966 King Jim Bronson and Queen Bobbi Hall. The attendants were Ellen Hrdlicka, Janet Manstedt, Deyo Callan, Bill French, Steve Jensen, and Jim Hinrichs.

This fact was proven at W.H.S. as freshmen bravely struggled through grammar; sophomores, through speeches; and juniors and seniors, through literature. In addition to the English courses, several students chose to enroll in speech and dramatic courses. Those yearning for a change from the ordinary tried learning the Spanish language. Conversations, descriptions, and Spanish culture were the fundamental activities of this class. Plateaus, temperate zone, mediterranean, arid — these are a few of the terms that confront all freshmen as they learn about world geography. As juniors and seniors, these students will relate their geographic knowledge to such courses as American history, world history, and modern problems. These subjects introduce an entirely new view on human activities and make up the social studies offerings. Connie shows off the AK-SAR-BEN Conference Speech Sweepstakes trophy.

Yet Wahoo High's young chemists were determined to carry on their experiments. On the next floor up, in the biology department, sophomores were squeamish as they dissected their first frog. These events were common place as students explored the field of science. Mathematics courses offered include general math, algebra I and II, geometry and advanced math. Students enrolled in these classes learned to find the unknown, to read the slide rule, to plot an x and y axis, along with many other fundamentals of math. Freshmen, Fay Pestal and Paula Jackson, learn sewing skills in home economics. Courses Develop Skills for Futu re Many would agree that vocational training is one of the most valuable for students at W.H.S. The courses of home economics, typing, shorthand, office practice, and bookkeeping are important to any future homemaker, secretary, or accountant. Boys interested in industrial arts were offered courses ranging from beginning shop to mechanical drawing. Deyo Callan and Sandy Meese put their creative abilities to work in art class. Senior girls, Nancy Miners and Jeanille Crisman, help to entertain children in nursery school. Art and crafts class was fun and worthwhile for seniors, Rich Poeschl and Dave Hansson.

These are the hopes of Superintendent Dr. Ivan Ward. Working on state committees, Superintendent Ward served on the Board of Directors for the Nebraska School Facility Council and as a delegate to the Assembly of the Nebraska State Education Association. Wahoo's superintendent was also a consultant for the Title III ESEA Project. With an increase of 47 students, the responsibilities of Principal Kenneth Ackermonn also increased. To provide for this enlarged enrollment, sections were added in English and Chemistry, and Art II was offered for the first time. There was also an addition of two teachers to the staff. Mr. Ackermonn takes an active part in community affairs and loyally supports all activities of the school. Not only does the Board of Education do much for the Wahoo school system, but its members are active in the educational programs of the county and state. Gus Anderson served as President of the County School Board Association. The Board members have donated many hours of their time toward advancing education in Wahoo and surrounding areas.
