Lois Kanost... ..Secretary ■Treasurer Colors Flower Blue and White Blue and White Roses Motto A:o termination without determination History In the fall of 1916, when school was called, there were eight of (he present Senior class who responded to the call; among these were Bashful Beryl Crowell, Quiet Vera Gibson, Wiley (Bill) Green with a golf stick to protect himself and Grace Metcalf, Nellie Jones with a temper that no one else could possess, Dolores Theobald who could get along with any teacher, Doris Van Cleave, timid but studious, and last but not least, Helen Von Stade who is now our star pupil. Mrs. Louis Grimm was the teacher. The second year there was just the same number in the class. There was no school-house on account of tearing the old one down and building the new one and so Mrs. Grimm taught the class in the basement of Theobald’s house. The third year there were three new faces to be seen in school, those of Harold Frasier “the Printer’s Devil , Edith Terry, a scholar of high grades, and Larry (Hooly) Terry, a Henry Ford the second. The teacher was Miss Grace Parkins. At the beginning of the fourth year was found Claude (Knotty) Knotwell, a farmer’s boy on whom no one picked. Miss Zella Van Gilder taught the class that year. The next year there was the same class trying to do just what Miss Margaret Kenney, the teacher, told them. Harrie Tackett joined the class in the sixth grade. He didn’t care much for school but he did as Miss Kenney said for one year. He left during the seventh year. In the eighth grade there were no new pupils, but the teacher was new; her name was Miss Katherine Eby. In the Freshman year of high school there were eight new pupils; Ellis Carpenter who knew how to study, Ena Frasier who didn’t care for the boys, Paul Howard whom no one knew about, Carolyn ludd who made friends with Miss Watkins, Lois Kanost who has learned to stay out late with an under class-man, Theron Merrill who liked his green cap, Norris (Carrots) Nesmith with pretty red hair that the teachers talk about. The last, who will not soon be for gotten, Francis Wheeler who liked football after he once got his grades up. Mr. F. E. Woody was chosen as the class sponsor. At the beginning of the second semester Harrie Tackett came back to try his luck at high school. “Carrots,” “Knotty,” and “Hooly” made the first team in football. “Carrots” and “Knotty” also made the first team in basketball. In the sophomore year Fred Good and Bernard O’Niel joined the class. Miss M. E. Scanland was our class sponsor. Page Eight In the eleventh grade Robert (Bob) Richards was found among the girls of the class. Lowell (Jerry) Stilgebauer ‘the Wonder Kid” a student that came from McCook, and Hazel Snyder, very bashful but a good sport were also added to our class roll. This year Mr. George Travis was our class sponsor. “Carrots” .vas chosen cap‘ain. of the basketball team of !9?8 When about time for the Seniors of ‘28 to paint the town, the boys of the class of ‘29 stayed up and watched but the Seniors decided not to paint until the following night. However, we got up in time to put our ‘29 over their '28. The best of all was the paint that got on Ed. Trump’s lawn. Because of an auto accident, Beth Crow lost a year and joined our class in our Senior year. Mr. Relph J. Lofton was our sponsor. The football team missed “Hooly” who moved to Idaho with his parents in the summer of ’28. “Knotty” was chosen captain of both football and basket-ball for the school year of 1928 and 1929. In all four years of high school, the class of 1929 has been represented on all first teams of athletics, and two of the class, Claude Knotwell and Norris Nesmith, have earnd four letters each in football and basketball. This is a good record and we are proud to be members of the class of 1929. CLASS POEM When we started out to High School, This class of ’29, I’m very sure no Freshies E’re looked so green and fine. Wo registered for English, Algebra, Civics, and the rest, No other class in High School Ever promised to be the best. We proved our worth as Sophies On football field and track; We’ve helped to put Wanueta In the middle of the map. Our Junior year was brilliant, We’ve done our work all right, And we’re proud to hang our Pennant up. Our colors, blue and white. Thru’ these four long years of High School, ’Midst scenes we know so well, The mystic charm, to knowledge We’ve vainly sought to spell And now that we are leaving, We’ll miss you, one and all— But we’ll meet and work together Somewhere on this grand old ball. Page Nine Class Propk ecy The good old times I spent in the Wauneta High School were nearly forgotten, by the time I had reached that age where I had a few brains. Bucking the board of trade did it. Although I had spent many dollars, I had secured enough to supply myself with the finer things of New York City, but a longing to travel crept over me and nothing else would do. On the morning of September 3, 1946 I boarded the New York Central and headed west to get a better knowledge of the Great Lakes and their surroundings. While at the station at Buffalo, waiting for the boat, I was stopped by a young gentleman with one of those “Sherlock Holmes” looks, who asked me my name. I told him, and to my surprise it was Theron Merrill, my long loved chum —Sargeant of the Illinois Detective Bureau, crossing the great lakes to look after some shortages in the government gold mines in Minnesota. He informed me that, if I should wait in Chicago a couple of weeks, he thought he could secure a vacation and go with me. During my wait in Chicago I attended everything of interest and I met an old school mate. Hazel Snyder, now a famous society lady of Chicago. My stay was not long there, as Theron secured his leave of ninety day vacation. We left Chicago by car, but were called for speeding by a big hefty cop. We recognized him as Barney O’Neill, and he let us go with a good hearty laugh and a few friendly words. On our tour to Washington, we stopped in Philadelphia. That evening we attended a theater and found Carolyn Judd to be the leading dancer of the Zieg-field Follies. On boarding the train the next morning, we met Vera Gibson. She was headed east to visit Miss Watkins to find out how to handle “High School pupils who speak when they are not spoken to.” We reached the capital city in safety and during our stay we found our old football captain, Claude Knotwell, to be the Secretary of the Interior with Ena Frasier as his private secretary. Our next hop was west, this time by airplane. The plane was piloted by a trusted old schoolmate, Grace Metcalf, known the world over as the “Lady Lindbergh”. During our wait in South Bend, we visited the University of Notre Dame and found Norris Nesmith to be the successor of Knute Rockne as head football coach and making the Irish boys believe he wasn’t a Swede just because of his red hair and his big feet. Our journey to the west coast was made short by fast airplanes, and we arrived in San Francisco in time to hear Miss Dolores Theobald, the lady governor of California, give a magnificent speech on “How they grow corn in Nebraska. We journeyed down to Long Beach and found that Doris Van Cleave had just been presented with the banner, “Miss California”, in the largest beauty contest ever held west of the Mississippi River. Page Ten We boarded an “around the world boat” and met Helen Von Stade, teacher of foreign languages in the Columbia University, going to Japan to secure some more facts to put in her seventeen thousand page volume entitled “History of the Universe”. Much time was spent in leisure on the boat. One evening as I was sitting in the dining room, I saw a young lady, who after an inquiry I found to be Mrs. Herbert Hoover Jr., formerly Miss Nellie Jones of Wauneta. Our tour was not interrupted by any more of our friends until we reached South America. During a short stay we found Fred Good to be the manager of the English Crown Diamond estates. The next stop was in Pisa, Italy, on the Mediteranean Sea, and there we found Bill Green, Professor of History at Harvard, securing all dimensions and angles of the Leaning Tower, so he could construct its likeness in the United States. While leaving the Mediteranean we stopped at the Straits and there found the old sheik, Harold Frasier, editing a newspaper, the largest and most widely circulated daily newspaper in Spain, and known as the “Gibralter Breeze.” At our stop in London, to visit a session of Parliament, we found Francis Wheeler, alias Dan McMullen, the head valet to the Prime Minister of England. We went north from England and on our visit to the Shetland Islands found Harrie Tackett owner of the largest Shetland pony farm in existence and as happy and cheerful as ever.—So was Eunice. Our next journey was a long one, to the South American continent. Here we were surprised to find Ellis herding sheep, on the Argentine plains, and writing some magnificent poetry and wonderful essays during his spare time. On our return to the U. S. a desire to visit the old town came to us; so we left Miami by airplane on a nonstop flight to Wauneta. It was but a matter of a few hours before the plane landed safely in the Wauneta Airport. The first of the old schoolmates we found at home was Bob Richards, who by his natural talent had put into operation the largest successful irrigation project that was ever attempted in the U. S. He greeted us with a happy smile and during a ride in the country north of Wauneta, we were taken to the farm of Omer Troxel where we found Lois and her two children the pride of the progressive Nebraska farm. The next day was a big day in Wauneta. It was Thanksgiving and Wauneta was to play Imperial. We found Coach Lofton the same as ever saying, “Now, fellows, I don’t know what to tell you guys, but the only way we can win this old game is to get in there and fight. See?” etc. etc. Prof, was still doing his duty as the teacher of civics and law with Beryl Crowell as teacher of English and Latin and Beth Crow as the Math, and History teacher. Although our stay in Wauneta was cut short by business and time, our return home found us well pleased and more than satisfied with the success of the Class of ’29.

Place: Fenella, a girls’ school, in a small town near Boston. THE STORY OF THE PLAY Miss Laidlaw, principal of an exclusive girls’ school is expecting an important addition to her faculty, Sir Hector Fish, a distinguished young scientist, who is bringing with him the recently discovered mummy of King Tuts’ queen. In the meatime, two important events take place at the school—valuable jewelry is stolen— Francis Briscoe calls on his friend, Bill Laidlow, a nephew of Miss Laidlow. Brisky, (Briscoe) after catching a glimpse of some of the students of the school, decides that his business engagements are not so pressing and that he can spare the time to make an extended visit. However, he is informed that no men visitors are allowed. Miss Laidlow appears on the scene and mistakes Brisky for Sir Hector Fish, who in reality has been detained in New York. Brisky seizes the opportunity and pretends to be Sir Hoctor. Sir Hector finally arrives but in a most unconventional manner—inside the mummy case, in which he has had himself expressed so as to escape being quarantined in New York for a well developed case of mumps. His identity is discovered and kept secret by the cleverest pupil in school, Anna Hampton, partly to save him from arrest for breaking quarantine and partly because of the other Sir Hector, who is impersonating him and whom she thinks is the thief of the jewelry. The authorities trace Sir Hector to the school but have difficulty in apprehending him. As a consequence, everyone, with exception of Miss Laidlow, is forbidden to leave the campus. The situation becomes too uncomfortable for either Sir Hector or his impersonator. Each, of course, unknown to the other, decide to impersonate Miss Laidlaw and under this masquerade tries to make his getaway. Unfortunately both are apprehended at the same time and each claims to be Miss Laidlaw. This situation finally leads to a truthful explanation. The jewels are found, the engagements are announced and all ends well.

Grinning sheepishly at things taking place, Each Greeny running for the highest in the race; Loud warnings and stately talks rang in our ears, Increasing from day to day our momentous fears, Yet we were all in the same heaving boat— A roaring spectacle of “The Goat.” Another added worry was Algebra with its X’s and Z’s It’s a wonder we existed at all, but Gee Knowing three more grades yet to come, We had to prepare for the worst, and then some. Then to the Sophomore class of ’28: Rejoicing in the fact that we were now upper classmen instead of Freshmen bait. We had now regained our full store of pep Ready with others to keep in step. Prof, tried to teach us Geometry, But circles, squares and hypothesis were beyond our average reach. While Travis knew his old King Tuts and Henry VIII’s in History, Yet we knew this was all in vain for him to try to teach. That year to our class was added three: Alvina, Ethel and Ikey, And each in his own way has done his part, To give our present .lunior Class its start. And now proceeds the Junior Class of ’29: We hope we have somewhat progressed in two years time, Ed has proven his ability in the English field, In his “Correct Pronunciation” we all must yield. Now there is “Sheik” as the Romeo of our class And Melva whose baby talk is hard to surpass, Ikey whose great attraction for thumb tacks and pins Produces from us a great many grins; Skinney is the champion floorwalker and Amos our Poet Laureate, Lester has long ago chosen his profession a banker, you bet! To the girls we leave the art of chewing gum, And their well known ability to make things hum, All we lack is a famous movie star— Nevertheless we believe we are above par So lets pull together Junior Class and see. If Seniors next year we all can be. Page Nineteen Tke Class of 1931 In 1928 Miss Hankins sailed across from Hastings to Wauneta where the Sophomores elected her as class sponsor. Miss Doris Kitt was elected president of the class of ’31 by a majority of votes. Charlie Jones was elected vice president of the Sophomore party on a wet ticket, which he had in his pocket when he played hookey and went swimming. Miss Marita Robertson was elected treasurer of the war department and now collects funds for the political sessions. The class put on a stunt to enlarge funds for the war department and the class had their pictures taken which also helped, both as an advertisement for president and to support the public welfare. During the first half of the presidential session the Class had three social events. The first one was a party given by the Sophomores at which they honored the class of ’32 as their guests. Next, the class of ’29 honored us with a political party. Last, but not least, the Sophomores had another party, but there were few congressmen present. At the party, the first crusade broke out between the class of ’31 and some of the members of the classes of ’30, ’32, and ’29. The victory was undecided. � ,. ■■ . Page Twenty When the morning of September 3, 1928 dawned bright and clear there budded forth the Class of 1932, a class of fair maids and noble young men the like of which as to ability (we hope) never before had been excelled in the nursery of Wauneta High There were beautiful house plants, sturdy and giant oaks, and even promising peaches and pears. The bright sunlit faces of their instructors and the gentle showers of knowledge and reproof, given from day to day soon developed the many rare possibilities of leaf, flower, and fruit. To-day the class stands unshaken by the giant evils (examinations) and unmoved by angry threats of professors As soon as the budding had taken place and the blossoms were peeping through, these tender plants gathered together for the purpose of choosing their officers for the class. Neva Cocklin was among the lucky ones and was chosen class president with Kenneth Frasier as vice-president and Kenneth Kitt as treasurer. Several feeds and parties were enjoyed by the Freshmen class during the year under the guiding hand of their sponsor, Miss Munger. After the class of ’32 goes out into the world from old W. H. S. we hope and fully expect that the class will give shade, and protection from the storms of life to the storm tossed way-fai-ers; that the fragrance of their many blossoms will make glad the hearts of the weary; that the beauty of their various fruits and flowers will be out of the quality that will be pleasing to the eyes of the world; and that their fruits will satisfy the needs of the many Freshmen yet to be and may these fruits be of the choicest. Page Twenty-one The Junior High School consists of the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades. There is an enrollment of 77 this year. Miss Margaret Kenny, the grade principal, and Miss Helen Gue are the capable teachers of this department. Pa ye Twenty-two The “W” Club is an association organized for the purpose of bettering our Educational System through the sponsorship of all school activities. To be a member, one must have earned the letter “W” which is given as an honor to all those meeting certain qualifications in Basketball, Football, Track, as Cheer Leaders and Scholarship. The Club determines the extent of its duties and the qualifications of membership. It is the desire of all members through this Club to become between members who have graduated and those who are still in school. It also desires to keep track of each member’s future vocation, that it might determine the success of the Club. The Club is organized as many other organizations, having at present the following officers: President..................................................Zenis Decker Vice President..........................................Virgil Johnston Secretary-Treasurer........................................Milton Klinb Directors Cloud Harvey Russel Bodeman Gordon Burham Those belonging in High School are: Faye Johnston, Della Decker, Robert Richards, Melva Pennington, Doris Kitt, Edgar Ditton, Evelyn Erickson, Erma Judd, Harold Frasier, Geraldine Tackett, Inez Cocklin, Amos Berry, Marita Robertson, Corinne Higley, Lester Kline, Lowell Stilgabour, Ena Frasier, Paul Howard, Bernard O’Neil, Theron Merril, Omar Troxell, David Edwards, Harrie Tackett, Kenneth McGooden, Francis Wheeler, Dolores Theobald, Ellis Carpenter, Norris Nesmith, Claude Knotwell, Virgil Fanning, Wiley Green, Donald Hummel.

The Latin club met October 10, 1928 to organize. The meetings are held the second Tuesday of each month at which time the regular business is transacted and a program is given or Latinized games are played. The following officers were elected to serve for three months except the Treasurer who holds this office for the whole year: President.........Wiley Green Vice President....Inez Cocklin Secretary.........Marita Robertson Treasurer.........Faye Johnston Program Chairman.

Claude (Knotty) Knotwell, at the end of the season of ’29 will have earned four honor stripes and this was done through his fight and sportsmanship. Norris (Carrots) Nesmith, was captain of the team in ’28 and he also was a fighter and a sportsman, this was proved by his four honor stripes. Fred (Abie) Good, played a clean game for three years earning three honor stripes, sportsmanship was his battle cry. Amos (Chief) Berry played his second year earning two honor stripes. He will be a much needed man in the season ’30. Donald (Don) Hummel at the end of season ’29 will have earned two honor stripes and he will be back in 1930 to keep W. H. S. on the map. Lester (Les) Kline, has also won two honor stripes and will finish his high school career in 1930. He will be a valuable man. Wiley (Bill) Green, at the end of the season ’29 his last year will have earned one honor stripe and was a valuable man on this year’s team. Ronald (Skinney) Emerick, although he failed to earn his letter in ’29 will make a good showing next year. Lowell (Jerry) Stilgebouer, also earned a honor stripe and was a valuable man to the Wauneta squad. We expect great things from him next year. Chester (Chet) Kline will make a letter this year he also will hope to make up the squad in 1930. At the close of the season of ’29 Irving L. Moore will have coached six years for W. H. S.
