Two of them we will always remember are the last few days we spent in the old Wauneta High School Build- ing and our Graduation in the new addition of the schoolhouse. There are many events in the Broncho which may not seem impor- tant to everyone, but will mean a great deal to some individuals. We depart with these pleasant memor- ies bound in this Broncho. jc l'l'OoL LPAYQ 79 1 ' N Q4 1. 2 iii, . , fs.-wf.Hs,.,.Q' I, . . 2 Qgglsi Q, r.g?grTgsg S3i514giE.f'.,,f 5 1 lizberfj if gllfriit . , , 5 hgh... : Aw,mr,..!lrs F5 'H A , .,... gifs. .!,.g,g?,5s!. im g.. .,,,:Eg,i?gg ,gig5,,g.Qx,5,s,,.E,,,5g gf I ufriw J ' 3,i,,rs,g 512252 1 . - f - - .f afar., . 7. .

Yes. it's Mr. Dunn. Mr. Widget. Mr. Sutherland. Miss Thone. Miss Garey. Mr. Roberts, and who is it at the head of the table? Why of course it's Miss Ihrig. They must be going to enjoy a nice game of cards. Miss Ihrig is shuffeling the cards and the others are sitting around wonder-eyed. ls she going to stack them? Let's peek over their shoulders and see a real game. Oh no! it can't be, but it is. Yes. Miss Ihrig, a card reader, draws forth the cards and lays them before everyone. Of what is this a symbol? The door opens on Wrigley's Gum Factory and out steps a short man with dark colored hair. As he nears, it is possible to read the badge on his lapel. Chief Gum Sampler, WILBERT ZARCOR. These people had better watch Wilb or he will chew up all their profit. I The next card displays a small farm home in Eastern Nebraska, and there are four small children playing in the yard.. Why of course this is now the home of the former JO ANN KERCHAI.. Now married to Don Forst. This card is very unusual and peculiar looking. It's JAMES NOVACEK now a successful. prosperous. young lawyer ir? the heart of the Ozarks. He is dedicating his life to bringing law and justice to these people, His wife is a blond. o course. Here's a very dim card. Miss Thone leans closer and espies the Romeo of the class of '54, IRA HOWARD. He has bleen cnruelly disappointed in love and is now President of the Women Haters Club. Don't you get rather lonesome at t is jo . Bud? This card vividly portrays a crowd of people standing around a very outlandish looking automobile. Upon asking a man standing by. we learn that the man behind the controls invented it to run without gas, water, and oil. As we step closer we behold LAVON HAARBERG. the creator. What's this? The sign plainly reads, Molzahn Funeral Home. Oh no! This can't be. but it is. Sure enough! The proprietor is CALVIN MOLZAHN, The Friendly Undertaker. Who thought he'd be a friend to let you down? This card shows a modern office building in a hot country, resembling Arabia. It is Arabia and the office belongs to SHIRLEY DENBO. Seeking adventure. she and her husband have come here to become managers of an important department of a rich oil company located near Mocha. Arabia. This conspicuous card portrays a crowd of people. strong lights and much excitement. A football game ar Notre Dame and the team is crowded around the coach. The coach, KARL POLLY, has grown a couple of inches. No, it is elevated shoes he is wearing. Whatis foretold by this significant card? Sure a cheezy looking place. Of course. here is KENNETH TERRY resting on his imagination and enjoying the luxurious trip to the moon to visit his girlfriend, Moon Beam. Here's another card. There is a tapping of a cane on the stairs. and we see none other than NELDA HANDLE who informs us that Henry finally gave her the slip and that she has remained an old maid--that is for the present. She is now head cook at the Men's State Penitentiary in Lincoln, Nebraska. She's going to get a husband some way--happy hunting, Nelda. What's this. an announcement. To be wed soon in a double wedding ceremony. CAROL EINSPAHR and DORINDA HAARBERG. They sure believe in long engagements. don't they? Miss Ihrig draws another card and looks for a long time, oh yes. the tall bow legged owner of this large cattle ranch is the one and only GENE MADDUX, one of Miss lhrigs industrious students. Ah! and this card shows usa small cozy cottage on a .farm near Dalton. We look in the window and see the mother of three dark eyed children, PATSY JOHNSON. Who is now married to Bill Mieck. As we pick another card we see a farm and the fellow driving the jet powered tractor is JERRY WEBER. He informs us he has been heir to a section of land south of Wauneta. If we crane our necks as we look at this card we see a space ship go whizzing over the spaceline. We find the stewardess, MERNA GOCKLEY trying to calm a rich looking passenger who is very frightened by the looks of the men from Mars. The prosperous passenger is MARLIN FORTKAMP. As the cards flash on we discover this enormous class room. Busily grading papers we find BETH SCHRIEBER. She only looks up and says Oh. this gripes me! Teaching must be terrible. Just take a glance at this card. It is a joker. It looks like the former DOROTHY CHRISTNER is now employed on the IQON HARVERY RANCH. Say Dorothy. we thought you said you were going to be a dramatics coach. What hap- pene ? This is a scene on the beach in California. and behind this big beach umbrella we see MARLENE BROWN, and a sailor. They tell us that they are going back to Wauneta to make their home. Here is information about JOAN ELIJAH. Let's see what she has been doing. Joan has built up a hatred for men and took to the lonely life of an old maid. She's done some remarkable work in cross breeding of canaries and cats. Flor. two years she toured the United States and gave lectures on The Wrongs of Men and Disgracefulness of Long a1r. Whyhere we have PEGGY LARGE. She informs us that her husband, now out of the navy, is a big limb in the lumber business in Oregon and that they are the proud parents of two little slivers. Another card broughtforth which resembles a scene taken from Hollywood. There are Clark Gable and Van Johnson justleaving a swanky shoppe. One cannot avoid noticing their immaculately arranged hair. The neon sign stretching entirely across the shoppe proclaims the establishmentp Miss Moodys Beauty Salon For Men, This Miss Moody is none other than MARY ETTA MOODY, formerly of Wauneta and of the class of '54, This card brings to us the great production of a new movie. Here sits VIRGIL DOETKER, and upon asking what all the instruments are around him, he informs us that he is the guy that IDOIS the horns, turns out the lights and does all the sound effects in motion pictures. , Oh! on another card appears a desk stacked with papers. And behind these papers is VERNADINE LAPP. She tells us she has taken the place of Mary Laney a well known and widely read column of the daily paper. She lets us in on a little secret. Former VALERIE HAHN and her husband are having family arguments on what is right and wrong in bringing up twins. Here is the lastcard and three charming girls enter the scene, LUCILLE MUTHS. LAURAIN FANNING, and MARILYN MERRILL. It seems that these girls have organized a group of women who call themselves the Bloomergirls of the 20th Century in which they demand more rights for women. stating that they send some men over here from England or else. It seems that all the American men are taken. Here's hoping they have success in their campaign for more rights for women. Surprised to see what the students are doing in 1964. Miss Ihrig neatly stacks the cards and places them back into the gold tooled box. Where they will remain for the years to come. CLASS POEM The Class of 54 is now leaving you lf you don't study you won't pass. Without this intelligent class what will you do You'll be right back in this class. We all were such the studious type As jolly juniors we were on the beam Well. maybe a mite mischievious at nite. Mexican was our banquet theme. As freshmen we were young and green We roamed up and down the halls We found the seniors bold and mean And put our names upon the walls. Seniors found initiation day a delight. Now sophisticated Seniors jolly and gay, But we poor freshmen looked a fright. We work an hour out of each day As silly sophomores we were gay Leaving marked up books and chewed up gum, And here's what the teachers had to say: We wait for graduation day to come. Class Motto: Love, Labor and Laugh 9 CLASS SO G Gonna take a long awaited journey Counting every hour. the day Gonna leave Wauneta High Goes by, and then we sigh Gonna take a long awaited journey Gonna take a long awaited journey My, how the years flew by. Gonna leave Wauneta High Four, that's the time we leave, at four Gonna take a long awaited journey Won't be comin back no more So now we bid you all good-bye.
