Presenting a play proved to be a difficult task, as the- Junior Class has only four girls. Uncle Josh Perkins was finally selected although its cast required five girls. Leroy Fredrichsen came to the rescue by volunteering to be the woman wrestler. The story is based on the life of Joshua Perkins, a good-natured, lovable old farmer, living on the outskirts of 1erkinsville. He has been a widower for years, and an old family servant, the widow Effie Todd, keeps house for him. Others in the household are Effie's romantic young daughter, Bessie, and Uncle Josh's orphaned niece, Susan Galloway. Once a well-to-do man, Josh's troubles are doubled by losses in a gold mine named The Goldie, and his enforced indebtedness to Ebenezer Randall, postmaster and financier in Ierkinsville. Ebenezer has also dabbled in the Goldie stocks. Seth Higgins, who delivers the mail, has seen many letters come for Josh and Ebenezer with the word Goldie on the envelopes. He spreads this news about, and Effie and others imagine that Goldie is a woman in the city and that she is responsible for Josh's losses. This leads to many amusing complications, especially when a tourist named Miss Goldie turns up at the Perkins farm and is mistaken for the woman all believe Ebenezer and Josh are mixed up with. The play, under the directions of Miss Martin, was excellently preformed, being filled with humor, pathos and suspense . Miss Martin was presented with a gift by the Junior Play Cast in a predation of her tireless efforts in making their play a huge success. I FRONT RO,V ERNEST HEISS Google A lamb gone astray.

HOWARD MJCKcLSOM COACH §TV b h -K i f ; v® •%Ai ■- FOOTBALL September 15: North Bend came to Bancroft to begin the season. The team showed prospects of a completely victorious season and they had it in them as they rolled over North Bend 24-12. Marvin Doht and Arlen Tietz made the only scores with 2 touchdowns each. September 23: Bancroft went to Emerson to be bumped off 45-0. Emerson is rated first in Nebraska so we feel they had a right to win. September 29: Rosalie came to Bancroft only to be beaten by Bancroft 32-7. This gave Bancroft a 1 to 1 conference record. The scoring column showed no stars as Marvin Doht, Reynard Brehner, Arlen Tietz, Marlin Doht and Kenneth Anderson each made a touchdown. October 7s Dakota City welcomed Bancroft. The team had no worries as Dakota City never seemed to gain as Bancroft trampled over them 47-0. After two minutes of the fourth quarter the game was called. Marvin Doht and Harold Sorensen each made 2 touchdowns to lead the home team. October 13; A powerful Winnebago team came to beat Bancroft, they thought. Bancroft revenged last year's defeat, by a score of 38-25. Arlen Tietz was high-scorer with 3 touchdowns. October 20: Howells forfeited the game. October 25: Wasua came to Bancroft only to be booted back by the Bancroft squad 40-0. Every member of the team that suited up that night played, but still Wasua was unable to score. Arlen Tietz made 2 touchdowns to lead the touchdown-hungry Bancroft Boys. November 4: Bancroft went to Macy to riddle the Indians 62-19. Reynard Breh- mer was high scorer with 3 touchdowns. November 11: St. Edward returned the Armistice Day game of the last year. This rated team beat Bancroft 38-27, though Bancroft gave the St. Edward team the scare of their lives. Marlin Doht lead the ho ne team boys with 12 points. The season ended with 7 wins and 2 loses. The two rated teams in the state were the only teams that touched Bancroft. This rated Bancroft 7th in State Class A Six-man football. This was the last season for 10 senior boys, but there is always someone to replace them. Everyone found that out this year. Good luck next year fellows. Individual Scoring T. D. E. P.

Both of the small groups have sung at .many local events when requested tO dO SO. 1 K H H f'EF CL US There Is a two-fold purpose for a pep organic zatlon: to promote enthusiasm at athletic events and to be of service, at all times, to the high sohool. Thirty-three girls worked at promoting enthusiasm at games during the football and basketball seasons. Sponsoring the annual Color Day also was their project. After the basketball season, twenty-one girls took part in a magazine-selling project, in order to add to the treasury of the Pep Club. A substantial profit was made from the sales. The sponsor of the group is Mrs. Mlckelson. GIRLS STATE Betty Jane Block received the honor of being the first representative from Bancroft to attend Girls' State. Eaoh year the American Legion Auxiliary sponsors the Cornhusker Girls' State. The local branch of the Auxiliary selects two girls from the Junior class, one is the principal and the other is her alternate. Betty Sorensen was chosen as the alternate from Bancroft. The representatives are chosen on the basis of citizenship, scholarship, and personality. The Cornhusker Girls' State begins June 6 and extends for one week with all girls participating in the operation of the State government. The girls will spend this week on the beautiful campus of the University of Nebraska. There is a required period of attendance. This week is both educational and entertaining for the girls. Betty Jane will best wishes and the the students and all take to Lincoln with her the wholehearted support of all the people of Bancroft. I ' COLOR DAY In a colorful ceremony, Miss Joyce Dirkschneider was crowned Queen of Bancroft Color Day. The coronation took place Friday evening, December 16, at the High School auditorium, during the half-time period of the Bancroft-Oak-land basketball game. Senior class President, Jerry Adcock, acted as Master of Ceremonies. He opened the proceedings by explaining the purpose of Color Day. Awards for the best orange and black costumes were given to Lola Peterson and Gerald Gerch. After this the members of the royal procession were announced as they made their way across the auditorium to the silver backed orange and black throne. First came a freshman, Miss Geraldine Havekost, on the arm of Kay Schwe-dhelm, wearing a deep aqua taffeta formal and an all white corsage. Hext in line was the sophomore attendant, Miss Elaine Kjeldgaard, escorted by Lennard Hultquist, wearing a pink organdy formal and a white corsage. Third came junior attendant, Miss Jeanette Bassett, on the arm of Kenneth Anderson. Jeanette was wearing a pale aqua taffeta formal and an all white corsage. Miss Patty Kesslnger was second in the election for Queen and therefore became attendant from the senior class. She was escorted by Perry Meyer and wore a pale blue organdy formal and a corsage matching those of the other attendants. Next came our little crown bearer, Miss Sharon Jean Raasch, wearing a pink taffeta dress and carrying the sparkling crown on a satin pillow. She fully realized the importance of her part and carried the crown with fitting dignity. Last in line was the Queen herself, very regal in an all white taffeta formal and white accessories. She carried an arm bouquet of mixed flowers, a gift of the senior class, and was gallantly escorted by two athletes, Arlen Tietz and Alvin Konopik. On arriving at the throne Joyce was formally crowned Queen of Color Day by M. C. Jerry Adcock. She took her place amid the applause of the watching crowd. Her attendants made a charming tableau on the steps leading to the throne. Bancroft's Color Day ceremonies were instituted four years ago by Mrs. Howard Mickelson. Again this year, Mrs. Mickelson was the behind-the-scene director of the coronation. Queens of the previous years were Miss Gladys Leitow, Miss Dorothea Harms, and Miss Joyce Kjeldgaard. Basketball players who served as escorts, were seniors, dressed in their orange and black satin playing suits. They supplied the proper color motif to the procession. Color day is a proper school tradition, well worth keeping. 'i'S jy-XTS-rt tjf ■ 4 4? n V.
