Class History, continued 2 The junior-senior classes combined and gave the play Back-woods Romeo. Another memorable event was the junior-senior banquet at Cotner Terrace. Our theme,be- lieve it or not, was School Days. We sang nursery songs, sucked lollypops, blew up balloons and had a lot of fun being very young again. Now we see the curtain rising on Act V, the last act, our senior year. By this time our class had dwindled to four. The members were: Norma Jean Elliott, Berdina Rueter, Donna Lee Heier, and Marilyn Kellogg. At the end of the first semester Marilyn left our class. In October of this year the junior and senior classes attended the Nebraska High School Press Association held at the University of Nebraska. Berdina entered the news-writing contest and won second place in class B. In November the juniors, seniors, and two sophomores took part in Girls and Boys’ County at Plattsmouth. In February the junior and senior classes were guests of Supt. and Mrs. W. W. Schneider at a theater party where the movie, Hamlet ,was given by Lawrence Olivier and cast. The scenes that high-light our last act are the senior-junior play, Six Wives on a Rampage , given April 14, in the High School Auditorium and tho junior- senior banquet given at the Lincoln Hotel in Lincoln, April 28, 1950. Baccalaureate and Commencement exercises are the closing scenes in which the three actors, Norma Jean Elliott, Berdina Rueter, and Donna Lee Heier played the major roles and bid a last farewdll to thei -clessmates and friends before the final curtain fell on the class of 1950.
