Back in the days when cars knew nothing of - the street-lined version , when the movies were silent, and when they danced the Charleston instead of the Lambeth Walk , twenty characters, eager to acquire what knowledge they could from their directors, entered the door of this great hall of learning to play their part i n the production, The Thirteen Pillars of Knowledge . Some of those players have forsaken their roles to take a part in a similar performance elsewhere. But the cast has taken on new players from time to time and when the curtain comes down, this Hay, on the fourth scene of the see- -cl act, they can boast of having the largest cast over to finish a production in West Point High School. On a September morning in 1C2S, ftuth Margaret Sass, Npr.ith, I vey S Marian Simonson, Dayton Iron St. Clair, Ear-zman, Doris Flum-rren Paul, Maxine Walter ' Crabtreo, Dewald, Warren Gladyce Benne, Vossberg,•Edward Wag-Jean Kautz, Joan Kautz, her with several oth-kipped along a path, they ■ have trod many since, to begin to their lines and ac- tions for the first act of perhaps their greatest feat. Graduation from the eighth grade marked the end of the first act of nine scenes, and after a brief intermission, the cast, now composed of about sixty members, began work on the second act of their production. During the scenes of this set, some of the players did outstanding pieces of work as leaders; others were excellent followers. This last act was perhaps the hardest to present, no longer was there the usual routine of the first act. There were honors to strive for; occasionally some of the company in their spare moments illustrated what the” hac accomplished by presorting plays, minstrels, musicals, a. n d readings. Others spent their extra ti: editing a school paper. All of them did their cart in cutting out the '30 CADET. This spring- the company will separate, and in years to como they will recoil the roles which they portrayed in their initirl production, each one of the sixt;r thinking how necessary his efforts were, yet, minor, in comparison to what he has accomplished since.

Coached by their able instructor, hr. Plantoen, the entire class put on a fine performance. Those members of the class who were net in the c-.st all served on special committees which were needed to put on the production and make it a success. The c..st and the committees spent many h..rd h.urs working on the pl..y but turned in a very entertaining p _f -ancc. Six Junior boys played on the first and reserve tiaras during the bashetba.il a s:n, and several of these boys lettered. part V. it h Juniors tak ±Xi£ in ;-.ll the activit ios , they probe. bly tool; the bi gg st part in the dee lama .tcry • co n- tost.

The picnic was held in Keligh Park in the fall and the two roller-skating parties held with the Seniors at the local rink during the winter. Hadine and Geraldine Blly- rbr r c con were chosen from this class as cheerleaders and they successfully filled the positions. Their friendliness and good sportsmanship made then very popular.

The Freshman class were- entertained a t the December class meeting at which Mrs. Hollister gave an interesting travel talk. In February another class meerinr was held at which a Lincoln program was given. On March 15, they again entertained the Fre3hnan Class and also the Borders with a Music and Drama program. Miss Ingersoil a i d Mr. Kann presented tbe program. This year's Soph: mo.'is gave a stamina to school life—they were always willing- -always eager—full of life and spirit. Many of their class members were found ir. .athletics, debate, dramatics, G. A, A - .and other school activities. Their sense of cooperation is well developed as is shorn b y theix willing attitude i n having parties with and entertaining t h e Freshmen. It is bc-lieved that the Sophomores will take up the Juniors’ duties with not a bit of trouble and will perform their duties with the gusto that characterizes all their erfcerprises. Believing in 'lulled v e stand, divided we fal] , the class sho: 3 ir its cla s meetings how united fellowship counts. One outstanding feature of their class meetings is the interesting programs which they always hold after the business mee:ings. They mud a real spice to West Point High School life and as the Junior Class o f 1940 they will carry on the tradition i n true style.

The group walked to their destination, leaving the school house at 4:30 P.M. and arriving at 5:00 P.M. While most of the class went hunting for roasting sticks, the committee built two roaring bonfires which were used to roast the weiners and later for toasting marshmallows. After the fires were put out everybody started back to 4 own a much more tired group than when they started. The last group arrived in cown at 8:30 P.M. The first football rally was held October 6, 1938. For this rally the freshmen gathered boxes of all sorts and sizes for the big bonfire which was burned after marching down Main Street behind the band. On November 27, 1938, the freshmen enjoyed an evening of roller skating with the sophomores a t the roller r .i n k; skating . started at 7:30 P.M. and ended at 10:00 P.M.

Games were played from 7:45 P.M. to 8:45 P.M., when refreshments were served. At 10:00 P.M. everyone was out of the building and the doors were locked again. This year's class shows initiative and intelligence. They work together well as a class and show none of thM usual shyness ofr eginning : students. Their exploits iri debate, dramatics, j§nd- ath-r letics show this. Busy are perhaps the most ert hii 4as- tic in school. They i are--a distinct asset to sctopl life for their backbone .is talent. They not only -so p- erate with the school the fullest extent buh; tribute more than their just share. The frdshien boys came out wholeheartlri£ly for football and basketball, and the girls for G.A. f and other extra-curricular activities. Thirteen- i s our lucky number. That might be the slogan of the declam students of 193S. The thirteen pupils who came out for de-clam succeeded in establishing one of the best speech records in the history of West Point High. Six students entered the dramatic division—Dean G-raunke, Rachel Hultman, Evelyn Gustafson, Nadine Ellyson, Phyllis Anderson and Eloiso Peterson. Willard Stark and Elaine Swanson presented orations. Doris Ann DcY ald Violetta Gardels, Herbert Pile, Lucille Wilde and Mary Lou Moodie were in the humorous division. As it wa3 impossible to enter more than nine at the local contest, an elimination contest was held. Lucille Wilde, Mary Lou Moodie, Eloise Peterson and Phyllis Anderson were eliminated. At the local contest March 14, Dean Graunke was awarded first place in the dramatic division with his reading, Beyond the Last Mile . Evelyn Gustafson received second with Mothers of Men ; Nadine Ellyson, third, with Another Spring ; and Rachel Hultman, fourth, with The Phantom Airplane , in the same division.

The cast of The Valiant included Dean Graunke, as the prisoner, Rachel Hultman, as the girl, Warren Fegley, a s Warden Holt, and Warren Paul, as Father Daly. Alverna Jahnke served as the student director of the play. The one-act play received a rating of Superior . By winning a Superior rating on his dramatic reading and by rating the best actor in the one-act play contest, Dean Graunke achieved the highest possible honors.

Debates hurled by Wayne and Norfolk, district champion and runner-up respectively, tacked a finis to their arguments on; Resolved: That the United States should establish an alliance with Great Britain, the national debate question for the year. The squad was host to eight schools on January 7, at an invitational tournament. Schools represented w ore Sioux City Central, Omaha Benson, Norfolk, Ilart-ington, Wayne Prep, Wayne City, Emerson, Lyons a n d West Point. At this, their first competitive contest, the Pointers started the season by recording six losses, the low of the season; two victories end two nondecisions.

At this contest the A teem composed of Rachel Eultman and Mildred Schwartz, copped five straight wins, to keep in the running until the end of the seventh- round of the quart r finale, and thereby equalling the top-notch rec- ord for West Point debators, set by Bob Kerl and Wayne Stewart in 1936. The towns annexing links to the West Point victory chain were Lyons, Edgar, Walton, Pil-gcr, and Crofton, whereas contests with Lincoln (who, two rounds later became the undefeated champions of the meet) f n d Omaha Central (semi-finalists) accounted for fatal blows. The 3 team debated five rounds. The next tourney that the squad attended was held at Horning Side College i n Sioux City on February 28 It offered a now experience to the two teems attending. At this meet, each team debated only one s idc of the question. Previous to this, the teams had argued alternately on different sides of the question each round.

The play was a three-act comedy-drama which rendered thrills as well as laughter to the audience. •Th.e scene of the play was laid in Mrs. Skipworth’s rooming horse in South Chicago. The plot centered about the problems of the eight girls; nine, if you count Imogens, the maid, who made their home with her. Nancy, Gladys, Kate, Peggy, Minnie, Marcella, Rosins and Dorothy each had her own particular difficulties; They were all on their own, working in the big city. When Kate Roberts, a newspaper reporter, found herself in great trouble, the other girls put their heads together to try to help her. They were called on for courage, resourcefulness, humor7 and cooperation, but they came through with flying colors. Kate had always done everything in her power to help her wayward brother. Bob, and' their widowed noth4-er. Bob, a youth of twenty, was constantly getting into scrapes. He ran away from his small town home and came to Chicago.

The paint- Mrs. Kaggett and Ada lest cr was known as Christopher out. Doctor Haggett gave Bean, and he left only a few Abby her pictures and Susan dirty paintings in payment for his bill. The o 1 d friend, Tallant, paid Dr. Haggett hundred dollars for long due rent of Chris Bean's and t.ok away only a couple of worn paintings as e sort of a memento. Doctor Haggett was surprised still more when another old friend of Bean, Rosen, came around; paid the bill and seemed anxious to acquire some of Bean's paintings. But the greatest surprise of all came, when a distinguished New York art critic, Duvunport, cane to pay his respects to o. great painter. And so the Haggett family discovered that Chris was a groat painter, and what a search ensued for his paintings! There was one in the chicken coop; and Ada, the daughter, had painted some flowers on the back o f another; and Abby, the raid, had one of herself in her room. Various tricks and devious methods used by Mrs. Haggett to obtain pocscs- got her man; and Chris 3can's memory burned through the years as a glow of distant happiness to Abby.

MINSTREL At eight o'clock, February 9, 1939, the curtain went up on the first minstrel ever presented in West Point High. The minstrel was known no the Moonlight Cabaret Singers and was given under the direction of Mr. Wn.ll and Mr. Plnnteen. The thirty-four boys in the club opened the show with a chorus. Black faced comedians kept the audience roaring. The cold snowy weather prevented many people from attending but nevertheless, the minstrel was a success. The program included a brass ensemble, solos and quartettes. Solo parts were taken by Warren Feglcy, William Klink, and Vernon Dietel. William Klink as interlocuter, was the only White spot in the show. Humor was furnished by the six end men, the premiere comedians, and Petunia, who lost her mother. Herman Slim Buchholz, who had several unexpected heart attacks, added to the fun of the evening. The Cornfed Teeters furnished part of the music and the chorus sang several selections.

FOOTBALL West Point High witnessed a football season that was discouraging if reckoned by the number of defeats, but successful if the quality of Cadet spirit and sportsmanship is taken into consideration. Some of the State's strongest teams were met, proving that Coach Paul Morrison upheld the age-old tradition of West Point High tp have it's Cadets engage top flight competitors. This year's team was composed largely of Sophomores and Juniors. Marked improvement of these gridders during the '38 season points to a strong aggregation for next year, when the Cadets promise to be a strong factor in Corn-huskcr Conference. An atmosphere of respect for each other loyalty for their school, and admiration for their co-workers existed between the squad members throughout each and every games I)' o I „ f A pcxjtf rTpl v n SOUTH SIOUX CITY ig South Sioux City ms encountered by :th 'J3adets in the season's ling game at South Sioux ' '' and the pointers fin- on the short end of a score. Fegley and scored the Cadet achdowns in a typical fcrh quarter rally. PILGER The Cadets journeyed to Pilger to engage what later proved to be one of the few undefeated teams in the State. The Cadet's safety, scored in the third quarter, was the only score a-gainst the Pilger team this season. A Cadet touchdown was called back because of an offside penalty. Final score was 38 to 2. DECATUR Probably the most thrilling game of the year found the Cadets bowing to Decatur 13 to 7. Fegley scored the West Point tally after a sensational pass and triple lateral had gained sixty yards. Decatur, with it's Little Brothers starring, scored by a pass and a fine rushing attack. WALTHILL A group of flashy performers at Walthill smothered a Cadet team by a score of 43 to 0. The Cadets never threatened and were lacking the services of several o f their leading players. Stuart, Ferris, and a powerful line combined effectively to score at the start of the first quarter and added mostof their scores in the first half. STANTON After holding a hard running and a fast charging Stanton team to a standstill in the’first three quarters, the Cadets wilted to allow the Stantonites to take a 25 to 0 decision. The Cadets launched a passing attack in the final quarter but Ellis, speedy Stanton back, intercepted a pass to end the threat. TEKAMAH Scoring at the start of the first quarter, the Cadets seemed to be on the trail of their first win of the season, but a pass interception and a fourth quarter touchdown drive gave Tekamah a 13 to 6 decision. Johnson, Cadet end, scored the Cadet 5 pointer on a pass from Prawitz. OAKLAND The Cadets of West Point High bowed to the Vikings of Oakland for the first time in the history of the schools. A poor Cadet punt set up the first Oakland touchdown and a short pass brought about the tally. The Vikings scored again in the second and fourth periods. ROSALIE The Pointers made their strongest bid for victory in this game, but dropped a 13 to 12 decision to Rosalie. The Cadets tied up the game by a fourth quarter touchdov n and extra point, only to have the extra point nullified by a penalty. Feg-ley and Wagner scored the West Point touchdowns. A large crowd filled Ne-ligh Park for the Armistice day classic. LYONS In the season's closing contest the Cadets were vanquished by a powerful Lyons team to the tune of 31 to 0. West Point made a gallant bid to score in the closing minutes, but fell Just short. Prawitz passed to Wagner who lateraled to Ferguson. The play carried to the Lyons 8 yard line but pass interception halted the drive. GRADUATES Four Seniors, who played important roles on the team, will graduate this year. Warren Fegley: Feg played a whale of a game at Fullback and gathered a host of highly favorable comments from well-known critics. The Omaha World Herald and Lincoln Journal placed Warren on their Honor Rolls. Fegley al3o made the All Conference Honor Roll. Herman Prawitz: Ham did the passing, kicking and running for the Cadets. In other words he was a triple threat man. a Kerman Buchholz: Slip') gained a berth on( Jkhe Varh) sitv after years o| cease -less effort.

BASKHBAi ¥est Point High won the Cornhusker Conference Championship and compiled-an impressive list of victories during the '38-'33 season, The Cadets gained headway after an early defect at the hands of Fremont and developed into a smooth passing a n d fast working quintet. Splendid teamwork and typical Cadet school spirit went toward making the Pointers one of north-e a s t Nebraska's leading teams. Coach L. D. Graves sounded the call for basketball candidates in November, end sin letternen reported. Along with this group of veterans, a number of promising underclassmen turned out. Coach C-ravos reduced the list of aspirants to sixteen and placed Warren V cndt, ■ Ronald Johnson, Bud Collins, John Baas, Henry Wagner, Warren Pai’l, LcRoy Strchlc and Edward Wagner bi the first squad. This teem swung into action against Fremont and lost 21-18, Next came a winning streak of four straight before Winnebago defeated them 48-30. From then on to the end of the season the Cadets won a good majority of their games. The final record showed 10 wins against 6 defea-s. From this year's squad five seniors will be lost, but next year's prospects are bright. Two of the five starters’ of this year will be back next season, and the reserves will be ready for heavy competition next year. The Flebes, younger brothers of the Cadet varsity performers, paraded through the season with colors flying. The second stringers hung up a record of 14 wins and 1 defeat. FREHONT Fremont High handed the Cadets a 21-18 shellacking in the season's opening game. The Fremont team built up a substantial first half advantage and V e s t Point was unable to overhaul the Tigers. The Plebcs defeated the Fremont Cubs by a score 18-5.

Papers were received from Oregon, California, Utah, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, Alabama, Illinois, Indiana, Idaho, Montana, Minne s ota, Iowa, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Ohio and, of course, Nebraska.

Cooperation with officials and supervisors resulted in obtaining a private car for the Seniors to attend the Golden Spike Days in Omaha, held in celebration o f the world premiere of the movie Union Pacific . Everything started without a hitch; end no .one missed the train--although Mr, Plentcen and Mrs, Dan-icll almost did. They drove up just as the train w a s about to pull out. Safely on the train--many scttlcd back and tried to sleep but the excitement was too much even at 5:23 in the morning, and no one could catch forty winks, Vihen the train finally reachccL Omaha many were the oh's and ah'3 at the cos-jNtuncs worn by the observers I Jof thc£ oldcn Spike Days, ' The Afire t sight the Sen-( | iors was the train that t theAx :vcs had cone on from HpiaTyv d and also the old-vjv engine that had pulled The engine v as used in filming o f Union x yJrtrcTf i c .

After this a tour was made of V .O.U. radio 'station; and following this, a bakery was visited. Then the group separated a-gain v ith orders to meet at Brandcic store at 9:30'P,M, Some of the group wont chop-ping--somc- rostcd--and some went on tours of their own. Three fair maidens dashed to the Hotel Fontcncllo to sec Barbara Stanwyck and the rest of the stars. Imagine their surprise when a couple of little girls thought they wore movie stars end asked for their autographsJ After a talk with the hotel detective the trio left the hotel. Some of the boys saw a man fall out of a three-story window. Everyone of them were sunburned from looking up—whether at the tall buildings--or at the man. falling—no one could say. After viewing the stars in front of the Omaha Theater, the group met in front of the Brandsis Store, Those who tried to sleep on the way home were sadly disappointed, for several unquenchable spirits kept the rest awake by songs and laughter, When the train pulled into West Point at 1:50 A.K. the Seniors got off--a tired but happy bunch--vowing it to' be the best Sneak: Day ever. . Friday, September 25, the Freshncn, with onions dangling from their necks and green ribbons in their hair, marched haopily, yet slightly frightened, into the auditorium. RightoI It was none other th--n Freshmen Day and the initiation program was about to begin. Superintendent Williams welcomed the Freshmen and calmed their fears somewhat. The Freshmen were then called to the stage in grouos to furnish the ass mbly with ent rt lament in the form of contests and skits. One of t h o highlights of the initiation was the suck the bottl- contest . Each contestant tried in vain to be the first t o finish his bottle but all to no avail. Here18 the secret—the niellos had no holes. Warren Jacobson finally ended ‘the contest by removing the nipple end drinking the water. As a reward he received a sign denoting him a s the biggest baby of the class. For a time the stage was turned into a sort of a barnyard, when several Freshmen hisplayed their talent in imitating our feathered friends; namely, the turkey, duck, goose and chick' n. An egg was awarded the winner, Viol t Harms. An-ther outstanding feature of the program was the jump in the tub trick. . The Freshmen were told t o jump from a board three feet nigh into a tub of water. The blind folded, horror- stricken Freshmen, perhaps dreaming of wet clothes and broken bones awaited their turns. But instead of a solash there was a bang and their feet struck the solid floor. The tub had been removed .and the boards lowered. Donald Lofgren did a sort of a fan dance; however his costume did not consist of fans but of an old discarded lace curtain. Charles Bartels and JoAnn Norman took the parts of Romeo and Juliet in a short dramatization. Much excitement was caused b y the reach the weiner contest i n which Dolores Welchman was winner. Th' program ended to the strains of I L o v e You Truly rung b y the choir, Gni'Hultman and Irene Bos-sow, when Kiss Freshmen took Mr. West Point High t o be her lawful educator. The trid' , staged by Mary-lee Wells, wore a n length dress with a 1 a c c veil falling long train. The tra carried by her Freshmen. Clinton carried a basket of flowe and strewed them in the t a of the bride. The gr Norman Pagels, as wel his attendants, wore length trousers. Herb performed the singlc-r ceremony. All in all the program considered an afternoon good hilarious fun b y the entire student body. LOUCfJ November 14, the halls and classrooms were decked with many peculiar costumes. The boys were revelling in the annual custom of Slouch Day. Slouch Day has long been an event of Interest in West Point High School. I t provides a n interesting diversion from the regular routine of school work. The oldster among the boys was Robert Gustafson who appeared dressed as an old man. Robert wore an outmoded hat and carried a cane. He also had an artificial mustache made from licorice. A corn cob pipe of licorice a n a a slight limp conveyed the desired impression of age. Kerb Pile wore an old stove pipe hat. Herb was the cause of much comment when he Insisted on wearing his hat during school hours. Herman Buchholz, evidently was ( late riser that morning. He was in such a hurrj to dress that he still worejudje top to his pajamas. A v fee red and white sash proyilled a striking color c ntilst. T w o types o f oe? and stockings com-eted his costume. Minnie Mouse , Elmer jTfihnke's pet prodigy, w'S source of much effusion oughout the dp . Minnie, live field luouse, proved be n great annoyance to le more timid girls. El-jefcr, hi::; self, had several jay patches aoplii ued upon his regular clothes. Leland Liibbe could not resist the temptation to be slightly feminine. He wore silver ear rings. Lloyd Meier was dressed in a gray suit with an orange neck tie. Orange appliqued flowers harmonized with the rest of his costume. Robert Baumann was seen wearing a wide green sash, that_seemed to carry out the Mexican motif of his costume . The majority of the pupils in both the Shop and Smith-Hughes classes wore cover-a 11 s. Several of the members of the football sound (Jim Ferguson, Kurt Kollmorgen, etc.) came to school clad in sweat shirts. They served as a timely reminder to the student body of the last football game of the season with Lyons, November 18. Something decidedly different were the bracelets of red wool which Warren Paul wore around his ankles. Neckties tied in the form of bows and scarfs of all colors were a fashion must of the day. The only concession that LeRoy Strehle cade to Slouch Day was the wearing of two different kinds of shoes. One of these was a boot and the other an ordinary shoe. The girls enjoyed the occasion immensely. It was a novelty for them to see their friends and classmates presenting such a strange appearance. Slouch Day proved to be a most amusing occasion. V Again, under the apt leadership of Miss Stewart, the C-.A.A. had a successful year; Starting off in the fall, the girls enjoyed outdoor sports and played various games; As the winter progressed, the group divided into teams and played basketball which ’. as a favorite sport. Shortly after Christmas an inter-class tournament was held, and after a hard struggle with the Seniors, the Juniors came out on top with a four-point lead. Third place winners wore the Sophomores with the Frcshics trailing. This tournament is held every year. During the football and basketball games, the C-.A.A. cold candy. They also sold candy at the class plays and during the Class ''Bif and C” basketball tournaments held here. During these tournaments, two teams were formed with the winning team to be treated by the losers. Jean Jcman's team won, and Dloi3C Peterson’s team gave them a. party on April 28. From these sales they made enough money t o buy the school a combination radio and electric phonograph, which will be used for the school activities. They also made enough to send them to their annual camp outing at Fremont, llcbraaka. They held a pug-ball tournament which was finished at camp. Other camp activities included hiking, singing, stunts, raid all the various pleasures enjoyed each year; On Saturday, October 15, the C-.A.A.- girls journeyed to Oakland, Nebraska to participate in a Play Day hold there. Thirty-five girls attended the Play Day which consisted of playing various games. In the afternoon ’.Vest Point entertained with a tumbling skit. West Point took the largest group of girls to the Play Day, During the yea.r the girls viewed different f i In s. Some were shown on feet, diseases, dress and how to play correct tennis. Awards are given to each girl who successfully completes her requirements of the year. The girls are required to have eighty hours of hiking, roller slzating, or any recreation carried on outside of school.
