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.
