Out o f that leadership came developments that have left their deep and enduring marks upon education, not only in the United States but indeed throughout the world . Not a century, but seventy four years ago in the year 1864 the Board of Education met in West Point. Since that meeting the advancement in education has been rapid due to the efficient work of the board members. In Dijomom fact, the advancement was so rapid that in 1920 the board found it necessary to build a new and modern school building. This building has been in use ever since. Many classes have graduated acre and many more will. West Point High School holds a deep and hallowed spot in all of our hearts. We have only one group of people to thank for the opportunities that have been ours while we were in its walls and that group is the citizens o f this community and the Board of Education . DR. I.L.

At 6:00 o'clock that morning 35 seniors under the sponsorship of Mr. and Mrs. V ernor climbed aboard a Union Pacific streamline bus to begin their journey. Maybe you arc questioning why 35 seniors, aren't there 38? There arc 38, but two were unable to come and one missed the bus. Yes, she was so anxious to go that she woke up at 4:00 only to fall fast asleep waiting for the alarm to ring. Eut she did wake u p--fivc minutes after seven. The bus was supposed to leave at 6:00, but waited until 6:30 for the absent passengers. At 8:30 the class was touring the Burlington Railroad Shops. At 9:30 they v cre at the Lincoln Packing Company where they were treated to some of the. packing plant's products---weiners. A t 10;15 they were touring the Lincoln Telephone Exchange, and at 11:00 the State Capitol Building. 12:30 to 1:30 was spent in eating. At 2:00 the class was again on its way, this time to visit the State Penitentiary , the Lincoln Star Newspaper, and Morril Hall and the Coliseum on the University C ampus. After 4:00 the class disbanded. Until 10:00 P.H. the Seniors supplied their own amusement. At 10;15 the bus storted for hone. You might say to wear out an old expression that the Seniors reached home tired but happy.

A stingy old maid. Miss Kate Waring, continually bossed everybody around her. She imposed invalidism upon her younger sister, Janet, who didn’t seem to have a chance until Philippa, Miss Kate’3 cousin, and her roommate, Grccio, come to spend a three-day spring vacation with them. Since Grade was slightly plump, she brought with her a pair of scales by which to check her weight. She and Philippa sent Aunt Kate on a wild goose chase to her country home and v hile she was gone they turned the. Waring home into a night club. The girls gave Janet some attractive evening clothes and changed her into a pretty, fun-loving girl, Philippa called in Tom eshion, a young doctor, who proved to be an old school friend of Janet’s, Dr, Cashion found Janet very attractive, and also discovered that she w as no invalid at all.

Keeping in step with the preceding classes, each issue of thi3 year’s '.’TEST POINTER has been rated outstanding b y the National Mimeograph Ex- change . This year's TEST POINTER innovated running two or more colors on the same page. This made the paper much more effective and attractive than it previously had been. The first two issues of the 1937-38 WEST POINTER had temporary staffs. This enabled the instruc- tor, r. Plantocn, to select the stadepts be3t suited for the positions on the oermanent staff. The WEST POINTER was , published bi-weekly. The first week was devoted to the studying of the fundamentals of organization and rews-writing. T h c second week was used for the production of the WEST POINTER. A ccrtificato of merit was rcccaved stating that the 1938 WEST POINTER of West Point- High School, West Point, Nebraska has merited outstanding praise for the -excellent results attained in its production among the duplicated papers received by the National Duplicated tapers Association. The WEST POINTER submitted a page for the N. D. P. A. Idea. Book of 1938. The page was judged outstanding among those handed in. The last four weeks of school, the journalism class aided the Seniors in the production of the CADET.

If you can't hurt the other fellow, bo certain that h e hurts you. —During- tho past season, the Cadets failed to win a game and at least one player was seriously hurt in each game. A practice contest at Pender brought a'bout the first signs of an injury jinx. In this game two players, C. Welding and A. Wenge succeeded in breaking their wrists. V ost Point opened the regular season with a 60-0 loss to Lyons� H. Pra-witz became the last member to join the broken wrist squad. Although no broken bones appeared Ih the following games, every other type of injury occurcd.

After holding Wakefield to a scoreless tie during the first hald, VJ e s t Point folded, allowing a touchdown on the kickoff and one later in the third quarter. The final count of this hard fought game was 14-Q. After having held the powerful Wakefield squad to a 1 o v score. West Point slumped and dropped a 38-0 game to Stanton.

With five lettermen returning from Iasi year’s team, it seemed as though the Cadets would have a power-house on the hardwoods. However, the locals met their first de-f e a t at the hanos of Fremont, 34-13. At that time little was thought of the defeat. W oat Point then went under the 'hatchet” of the Lacy Indians, by a 3o-31 score, but still no pessimistic views appeared. After meeting defeat m the form of a hard-breaking , fast-passing Pilger squad, the Cadets broko into the win column with a 31-24 victory over Thurston. From this point on throughout the remainder of the regular season, the Cadets lost all o their game3. hat a ye r.' SECOND WIN West Point's sc cone, and last win of the year came in the first round of the district Class A tournament. The Cadets met Plainview and eked out a narrow 20-23 victory. Ainsworth, the team which played Lincoln in tho finals of tho state tourna- ment, was the last opponent of the Cadets. after holding amsworth to . a c 1 o s o margin for the first half, the Cadets slumped and allowed the opponents to take a 34-17 lead at the end of the third quarter. In the final stanza, the Cadets narrowed the score to 37-28. PRlGHT PROSPECTS Prospects for next year are very bright. Seven letters wore awarded and 6nl one senior will bo graduated.

Under the supervision o f the Student Faculty Council, this day was set aside as a day the class had t o wear something green in the morning. Among the various things worn were green hair ribbons, ties, dresses, sashes, and shirts. In the after- noon the girls w o -xl c -dresses and bright ribbons in their hair. With the aid of cosmetics, the boys looked more like girls. They performed in these costumes with a large green capital F on their forehead, indicating that they wore Freshmen. The class first marched into the gym t o the tunc of the funeral march, and took their places with William Klink acting as professor. After they were seated they took an oath which was read by one of the upper classmen. Sorno of the students answered questions w i t h crazy answers, some gave p-.cms, readings, or skits, some sang solos, and some entered a peanut rolling contest, blind-folded b'.;: ng match, balloon blowing contest, or kiss contest. The students, who did not obey the commands of their supervisors were sent to the dressing rooms, which served a s the woodshed and wore given a good spanking. Through the efforts of the Student-Faculty Council, Freshman Day proved to be a very entertaining event for the Freshmen but even more 30 for the upperclassmen .

The G. a. A., sponsored by Miss Stewart, girls’ athletic instructor, i 3 conducted to establish a friendly and sportsmanlike attitude among the high school girls. Baslcetbal;, ring tennis, kickpin, volley ball, and all sorts of relay games are played by the girls. The inter-class basketball tournament is teemed as the climax of the midwinter season. The Seniors again claimed first place, with the Sophomore team placing second, and the Juniors, third. The Freshmen have a strong linp-up and will undoubtedly fight for placement next year. Tumbling also proved to be very amusing to the participants. The girls were very much in evidence v ith their baskets of candy, gum, apples, and popcorn during the football and basketball games held here at West Point. V ith the profits made from these sellings the girls wore given a throe--day camping trip at Fremont. This is an annual affair and brings t h c G. A. A season to a joyous close. A Cadet Salute to Miss Stewart, the G.A.A. instructor's the officers, and to each and every one who helped make 1937-38 one of the most successful and enjoyable seasons ever experienced.
