CLASS FRESHMEN When Sept. 3, 1929, dawned, W. H. S. found 34 green Freshmen ready to begin their struggles through High School. Such a class of Freshmen had never entered High School before, a class that was determined to be the best of all the former classes. The mistakes they made were plenty, but after a short time, they soon became accustomed to their high school life. Soon the class gathered to elect their class officers. Byron Ditton, President; Orin Troxel, Vice-President; Keith Krausnick, Secretary, and Lucille Decker, Treasurer. Miss Benson was our class sponsor. Several parties were enjoyed by the class, and they say there is safety in numbers. But this is hardly necessary when it comes to their initiations. Now, this Freshman class has survived all the hardships of their Freshman year (examinations and the rest), and are ready to begin another struggle in their Sophomore year for old W. H. S. When this class of ’33 leaves high school to go out into the world for other hardships in life, they hope that there may be many more classes of Freshmen, that will help W. H. S. as the former classes have tried to do. Back Row (Left to Right) : Wayne Anderson, Cletes Doane, Keith Kraus- nick, Edgar Fanning, Donald Cox, Warren Ady, Eugene Jones.

SOPHOMORES Of the thirty-two members that started their high school career in 1928 at the Wauneta High School, twenty-three of the originals remain and three new ones were added at the beginning of the 1929 school year. In the beginning of their Sophomore year they gathered together for the purpose of electing class officers. Charley Jones was elected President; Kenneth Kitt, Vice-President; Kenneth Frasier, Secretary and Treasurer. Mr. Carlson, who came from Denver, was elected as their sponsor and under his guidance they enjoyed two spreads and parties. They have now bravely faced and fought with examinations and threats from angry teachers and professors. They have played hookey, skipped assembly, and performed other brave and daring deeds. They are a bright and happy group and wise in the way of all Sophomores. They believe in the code of “Green Freshmen,” “Honorable Sophomores,” and “Crazy Juniors.” May they never change, except in name. They have written prose, poems and verse in autograph books, wishing each and every one best luck and bright and happy futures.

% FOOTBALL SEASON OF “29” The Broncos went through to a dashing finish in the football season of “29,” gaining more yards in scrimmage in their final game than did their opponents (the Southwestern Nebraska champions). The nucleus of this team was composed from the class of “30.” This does not mean, however, that the team will be weakened next year, for the incoming material looks fully as good as the outgoing material. “Chief,” Amos Berry, captain of the squad, high yardage man, the man who was so inclined in following the path cleared by his teammates, will be greatly missed next year. Evert Curry, a consistent aggressive tackle, Edgar Ditton, alternating between tackle and end, both finished their high school football with credit to themselves and to their school. David Edwards, a guard, and Roy Troxel, a tackle, completed the season with two letters and a record for clean, hard playing to their credit. Delman Engell and Virgil Fanning, holding down the respective positions of end and center, were very instrumental in proving to opponents that the line was a barrier at both end and middle. Lester Kline, a consistent hard fighting quarterback, and Omer Troxel, a fast man with the ball and a good interference man, will both be missed in the backfield next year. Those letter men who remain to uphold the football reputation of Wauneta are: Captain-Elect Woolstrum, who alternated between back- field and guard, was always in the play; Kenneth Kitt, a hard hitting fullback ; Kenneth Frasier, a fast, fighting, consistent end; Walter McBride, a strong man in the line; Ray Scriven, a consistent end; Dale Theobald, a clever quarterback, and Bruce Resler, an aggressive halfback.
