Six school-owned busses provide safe transportation for Wauneta High Grade School students. They travel many miles a year bringing the children to and from school. The bus drivers are Ralph Brunt, Warren Buff inton, Eldon Kerchal, Rodney Hamilton, Dolan Carter, and Reinholt Gloy. One of the features at Wauneta High School is the hot lunch program. Providing this service are Ruth Louch, Wauneta Hollenbeck, Ulah Grose, and Edith Trembly. 4 BARBARA BARTELS Man is but a worm, He comes along, wiggles a bit, then some chicken gets him.

In one of the big easy chairs is a man reading a newspaper. As I look over his shoulder I see that the paper is The New York Daily Blab, the newspaper with all of the nation's news, and that its editor is Joyce Creasman. Joyce was in the Class of ’59 that graduated from the Wauneta High School ten years ago. Her job as editor here is really a change from editing that small school paper we used to put out. According to The Blab, Larry Olmsted is making his third trip to the moon as part of the last stages of the government experiments concerning space travel. Next month anyone can make the trip, the article says. Headlines of a big criminal case being tried in court at the present time catch my eye. I glance through the story and notice that the prominent lawyer, Tom Sutherland, is defending the alledged criminal, Chorley Sturk-feather. Tom's private secretary, who has been a great help in the case, is Vesta Smith. Richard Nordhausen is the judge at this court session. An outstanding chemical engineer, who was just recently added to the Dupont Company staff, has just discovered an absolute cure for the common cold. The name of this person sounds familiar. It's Sandra Morgan. Big political campaigns for some coming elections are already in progress at this time. I see that Phil Wilson, a noted political leader, is starting on a nation-wide campaign tour next week. Well, there's the name of another '59 graduate in the news. Barbara Bartels is to be the chief model in the Paris fashion shows at the great Style Center throughout the remainder of this month. There is an article here about the bankers' convention which was held in San Francisco last week. John Green was elected chairman of the convention for the next three years. He is getting to be quite important, it seems. Another S W oil station was opened in the eastern states last week. It is the fifth one to be located east of the Mississippi River. The company with over two hundred separate stations is owned by Kenneth Wade. I can remember when there was just one little station on the comer in Wauneta. The Municipal Art Gallery is showing some exquisite masterpieces this afternoon. There will even be a few creations done by that famed artis, Verdonna Colby. Dr. Gloria Brunt has just been given a place on the City Hospital staff. Also on the staff, as assistant head of nurses, is Karen Moon. A very alert forest ranger in the Rocky Mountain National Park was able to prevent a wide-spread forest fire last night. There is an interesting story about this and while reading it I find that the ranger is none other than Eugene Carrigan. Home Economist Kay Hoff, who is now associated with the General Electric Company, will soon begin her state-wide demonstrations of several new types of household electrical equipment. Robert Hays, the famous animal heart specialist is now assistant head of the Thayer Animal Clinic. This is quite a high position for veterinarians. The Air Force has just received for their use several of the newest type of airplanes. Pilot Rodger Crow will have command of one of these huge air vessels. There is an article here about the noted K bar L Ranch in western Wyoming. It is about the largest cattle ranch in the country and is owned by Fred Krausnick and Jim Lewis. Lynn Haarberg, whose very successful farming career has received such favorable comment the past few years, is now beginning his work as Secretary of Agriculture. hi Wally's About The Town column I see that rich playboy Gary Polly has been seen several times with actress Melodie Marlowe. I wonder if it is anything serious this time. In the society pages I find an interesting account of a buffet supper given in the home of the former Vivian Breese. Among her honored guests was the former Dorothy Foster. They are both happily married now. Also on the society pages is a note telling about the trip to Europe recently completed by Robert Cox and his wife. Bob, as he is known to his friends, is making millions now as owner and manager of a large custom cutting outfit in the central states. hi the theater section is an advertisement of a great new cinemascope movie starring Race Stevens. It is in technicolor with supersonic sound and everything. Upon closer examination I realize that the actor pictured is Joe Fanning. He's a second Clark Gable! The Metropolitan Opera is starring for this season the well known opera singer, Sharrona Errillo. She's known to her friends as a member of the class of '59 named Sharron Merrill. The last pages in the paper are the advertisements. Here I see the name of Kenneth Brunkhorst who is now a famed mortician. I see that Kenny finally achieved his secret ambition. The man reading the paper gets up and walks away and I am left surrounded only by memories of the class of '59. 11 frO Juniors Genevieve DeHart Roger Deininger Kent Doetker Lenna Gauger Gary Greeley Marilyn Haarberg Kathryn Huser Verna Ingold Everett Keiser Sharon Kerchal Gary Kitt Ardith Lapp Jean Maris Jim Maxfield Jerry McBride Allan Nordhausen Rita Petr Pat Folly Pamela Resler Joe Rietsch Robert Simpson Linda Springer Judy Stock Harry Straub Charles Tepley Wilmer Terry Janette Thompson Janice Thompson Nola Troxel George Ziegler Sophomores Gene d'Allemand Carol Daniel Kathy Einspahr William Edwards Clarence Fanning Allan Fischer Mary Ann Fortkamp Craig Gibbons Kathy Heldenbrand Sharon Hewit Jack Hunt Stuart Kitt Kenneth Lewis Colleen McBride Nancy McBride Betty Muths John Parker Marc Rueter Jerry Skelton Faustine Steinke Freshmen Harold Breese Donna Bridgman La Donna Brunt Connie Carrigan Margaret DeHart Dennis Egle Diana Anderson Margy Baldonado Eugene Bartels Gerald Egle Lynn Fanning Edward Foster Gary Gibbons Dennis Goings Cathy Haarberg Bill Ham Linda Handel Dallas Hartman Kathleen Hollinger Dorla Huggins Janice Kerchal Linda Kerchal Kenneth Krausnick Judy Long Donald Morgan Wesley Myers Judy Nordhousen Loren Nordhausen Donna Parker Delores Peters Donald Rietsch Brice Rueter Marcia Rueter Jaunetta Sailors Leland Shores Karen Stock Donna Sturtevant James Teply Jo Webber Organizations Mr. Stark--Sponsor Sales Staff Bronco Staff It is with great pride that the 1959 Bronco Staff presents this annual to the students and faculty of Wauneta High School.

The organization of FFA is composed of boys who are interested in agriculture as a vocation. The program’s purpose is to teach young men to be well-equipped modern farmers, using the latest techniques and methods in farming. This year under the leadership of Mr. Tom Rose the thirty-two members have been credited with many achievements. The members have a strong program as was shown by their exhibits at the county fair, where they showed championship livestock. F. F. A.

Decorations turned the high school gym into a gaily decorated ball room. Education Wauneta High--is a school in which education is considered important. Here students and teachers put the emphasis on study and class-work, but they also include many activities that offer wide experiences in school life. Here education means many things. It means studying equations, reading Hamlet, studying history, using a dress pattern, taking part in athletics, producing school publications, putting on a style show, keeping records on a beef project, presenting music concerts, and putting on plays, assemblies, and dramatic readings. 28 Disnyvi Girls’ Glee Moder Boys’ Glee Choir Marching Sponsored by ENDERS STATE BANK FARMERS CO-OPERATIVE-ENDER Band Council Concert Band Sponsored by HARCHELROAD CHEVROLET 35 SINNER PAINT BODY SHOP, OGIER'S OIL STATION Best Bandsman The Wauneta High School Band chose Kay Hoff Best Bandsman for 1958-1959.

When the books close, and the last bell tings, And carefree days are lost to mundane things - When nostalgia strikes, and your memory wanes, And you remember the faces but not the names - Pick up your yearbook and leaf it through And remember the days so dear to you.
