G eorgia Noakes FOREWORD We march into the present and speculate on what the years ahead of us will see, for our words, thoughts, and atti- tudes will be ancient history in 2037. Will they tind us wise or silly? Looking backwards, at our old-fashioned costumes and quaint ways, will they cry, This Savage Era, or sigh, Those were the daysl ? Time often upsets reputations that seemed certain to endure and sometimes makes heroes of very obscure people. So, instead of prophesying who they'll pick to be the great ones of our day, here's this marching panorama ot our past and present drama-and we shall not know all the answers till we're history, ourselves. fel 2 ls DEDICATION Every man stamps a value on himself. The price We challenge for our- selves is given us. Man is made great by his own Will. Hppreciation is a debt We owe to the virtues of others and in consider- ation of this we, the l-lomesteader Staff ot 1937, respectfully dedicate this book to Miss N elle Gingles, whose unbounded sympathy, encouragement, and philosophic mind have made our lives deeper, richer, and fuller than ever.

Wandering over uncharted territory, strug- gling to make their imprint on the sands of time, the class changed, increased and oftimes diminished. Ceaseless effort brought them ever higher aiming at a goal which seemed vague and distant in the mists of time. So they came on and ever onward. ln the Year of Our Lord, Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-four, they entered the portals of our building for the first time. Strange to them were the crudities of our time worn dwelling, after three luxurious years in Iunior High. lllnd it came to pass, after a year of making a place for themselves among the Tribes of Senior High, that they assembled themselves within the walls once again. ln contemplative mood, they did appoint unto the office of Chieftains four of their num- ber, Robert Lee Wilson, Iohn I-losier, Virginia Wood, and Glenn McCue. Rnd so at the end of their second year, a great feast was held to which they invited their elders, the Seniors. Rnd thus after the banquet, the Iunior-Senior Prom was held. Sought after since the dawn of time, it was successfully brought to realization by the struggles of the Tribes of Thirty-six and Thirty-seven. Rnd lol another summer passed and the Tribe of Thirty-seven returned once more to the realm of Senior High for the last year of their sojourn. Hgain they cast about for lead- ers and once more unto Robert Lee Wilson was given the post of chief. His chosen assist- ants were revealed as Margaret McCoWn, Dorothy Kirtley, and Roberta Walter. The year rolled 'round and this time the feast was prepared by the Tribe of Thirty- eight. Came the selected night and men and maidens reveled amidst settings in the manner of the Coronation. Then the members of the clan presented a play, The Passing of the Third Floor Back. Loudly resounded the hall with cheers as the success of the play was acclaimed. The Tribes did struggle manfully and each won many honors for itself on the Olympic field where tribe supremacy was decided. Yet again social activities did swell the annals of the school as the Senior Picnic was held in an air of jollity and revelry. Hlbeit less formal than certain other occasions, neverthe- less the picnic was an affair of renown and added a grain of levity to the many serious affairs of the year. By way of girding themselves for the future all of the Tribe did present themselves at Baccalaureate to listen to the wisdom of the ages expounded by Rev. R. B. Fouts. Hgain, the Tribe did gather itself together for Class Night while members of the Tribe did carry out the duties necessary for the passing on the Tribe tradition. Thus in due course of events came at last the great climax of these years of sojourn within the walls of Senior High-Commence ment. Dr. Bryan Seward Stoffel, chief of all the tribes of Doane, imparted words of wis- dom to the departing. Diplomas, symbols of the glories, trials, tribulations, and achievements of the final four years, became a precious possession as the members of the Tribe of Thirty-seven set forth upon a greater Trail with new visions, higher aspirations, and a determination to travel the path to the utmost of their ability.

This representative body sponsored by Miss Peterson and Mr. Henderson is composed of a member from each home and each active organization. Its purpose is to foster a spirit of cooperation among the students, faculty, and community, and to consider all student prob- lems. Problems concerning the school and com- munity are discussed, and to the student is given an opportunity to present his viewpoint. Each year the Student Council tries to do some very definite and worthwhile things. This year it carried out this aim by organizing the Zip Club, which did much to create good school spirit. Hction was begun on a permanent school song and school code. Representatives were sent to Sedalia, Missouri, to the Missouri Val- ley Conference of Student Councils. Exchange of convocations with Eairbury High School, which helps create a friendly feeling between the two schools, was sponsored by the Stu- dent Council.

Hidden away in poverty, this Chris Bean remainded unappreciated until some years after his death. Slowly awakening to the mad scramble for Bean's works, the Haggetts real- ize their value and become selfish and grasp- ing in their efforts to regain the pictures they formerly had scorned. However, the servant, I-lbby, the only one who really understood his art, has saved the treasured canvases.

STUDENT PHTROL The Student Patrol was organized in Plpril, l936. Beatrice I-ligh put to test, for the first time in her community, this idea of student policemen. It was sponsored by the Student Council of the school and the Kiwanis Club of the city. White Sam Browne belts, to be worn by the patrolmen while on duty, were furnished by the Kiwanis Club. CThe patrol was operated until the end of the school term, and despite its inexperience and newness proved very satisfactoryl The good work was continued this year, with but cr few changes in schedules. There are approximately ninety-nine boys included in the system over the entire city. The duties of a patrolman consist of direct- ing the traffic near the school, both pedestrian and vehicle, and helping to keep people off the field during football games and track meets. Qs a merit of honor and faithful service, those boys who have given their time and good service toward the patrol, receive em- blems or awards presented to them by the Student Council.

ORCHESTRA Beatrice High School Orchestra was con- siderably smaller this year than in previous years but the work done was of the highest caliber. Under the excellent leadership of Mr. Chatelain, the orchestra played for various school and community functions, including assembly programs, junior church service, lunior Class Play, Senior Class Play, Operetta, Mothers' Tea, Iunior-Senior Banquet, Bacca- laureate, and Commencement. Membership is granted one credit per year with extra credit for those participating in small groups if sufficient time is given to re- hearsals and performances. No more than six music credits may be offered for graduation requirements. Hn added interest was shown in music con- tests this year, resulting in a greater number of students entering than have for several years. Entries were made in piano, Ruth Rey- nolds, violin, Lew Esther Henderson, xylo- phone, Vernol Merciel, clarinet quartet, Mary Winter, Elmore l-luttenmaier, Verne l-liggens, and Robert Essam, and string quartet, Iunior High. Hll received superior or excellent ratings at the M. l. N. K, District and State contests. Of special interest to everyone in the school and community was the fact that Vernol Merciel was eligible and entered the National Music Contest at Lawrence, Kansas, on May 6, l937. The National Music Contest is held in divisions this year, Beatrice being in the Lawrence divi- sion. H few members of the musical groups drove to Lawrence to attend the contest on Friday and Saturday, May 7 and 8. H large number of the members are seniors who will graduate this year, but several out- standing musicians from Iunior l-ligh will join those remaining to continue the commendable Work of the orchestra next year. -ei 40 is OPERETTA The operetta cast, directed by Miss Catherine Barclay, presented as their annual public ap- pearance Gilbert and Sullivan's famed opera, HH. M. S. Pinafore . The story takes place on board the ship H. M. S. Pinafore. lt tells how Iosephine, the captain's daughter, has fallen in love with someone far below her rank, Ralph Rackstraw, who is, in fact, a lovely sailor on board her father's ship. Her father has other plans for her, having decided thaf she shall marry Sir Ioseph Porter, K. C. B., first Lord' of the Fld- miralty. However, when Sir loseph interviews Iosephine, she declares she cannot love him. Later, when Ralph surprises her by telling her that he loves her, she rejects him, and he draws a pistol, threatening to shoot himself, so she confesses her love and they plan to steal ashore at night and be married. How- ever, Dick Deadeye overhears the plot and resolves to thwart it. The captain is unhappy because his daugh- ter does not love Sir Ioseph, so Little Butter- cup, a bumboat woman, sympathizes with him, but he declines her affections. She be- comes enraged at this and tells him there is an unwelcome change in store for him. Dick Deadeye appears, and tells the Captain of the plot for elopement that night. The Captain con- fronts the lovers as they are leaving the vessel, whereupon Ralph declares his love for lose- phine, and is promptly ordered by the Captain to the dungeon. Then Little Buttercup reveals her secret which tells that when young, she had practiced baby farming and had changed Ralph and the captain about, so that Ralph was high born, and the captain a sailor. Hs his marriage with Iosephine is now impossible, Sir Ioseph bestows her hand upon Ralph, while the Captain unites his fortune with those of Little Buttercup. CHHRHCTERS Sir loseph Porter, K. C.

GLEE CLUB The Senior High Glee Club has an enroll- ment of 65 girls and 25 boys, making a total of 90. lt is their custom each year to present several public performances and this year their appearances were especially good. There are several groups within the glee clubs also. One of these is the girls' sextet. This group attended three contests, the M. l. N. K. contest at Peru, where it ranked superior, the district contest at Geneva, where it, also, re- ceived superior rating, and the state contest at Hastings where it was rated excellent. The sextet sang in Lincoln for the State Teachers' Hssociation, and at Eairbury for the Student Council convocation. lt has been much in de- mand for the meetings and programs of the churches and organizations of the town. The octet is a new group of eight girls in the Glee Club. Pllthough these girls did not have many opportunities for public appear- ance, their singing was much enjoyed by the home rooms for which they sang. The Girls' Glee Club has sung at several places. They performed at the Women's Club convention, and have sung at several churches and gatherings. The Boys' Glee Club has not made many public appearances, but has sung together with the girls at the annual Union Church service, and has performed for the Hssembly several times. Their largest and most colorful public per- formance comes at the time of the annual pre- sentation of an operetta. They are always re- ceived well, and the one for this year was especially well staged and presented. Sixteen boys and girls were chosen from the Glee Club to assist in the presentation of the annual Mothers Tea. Miss Catherine Bar- clay directs all performances. -5-'S-if 42 1-sz QYXO9 J Barrett and H. M. Garrett. COACHING STAFF H. H. Higgenbotham, R. S.

VARSITY FOOTBALL The Orangemen ended the l936 season with four Wins, three losses, and one tie. This was a very difficult schedule. Creighton Prep's game at Omaha, scheduled early in the season, was cancelled because of rain. They didn't want to cut up the sod in Creighton University's stadium. Hs a result Tecumseh found the Orange still keyed up. The score was 53-U. The first quarter of the Crete game found the Orangemen still on fire. The final was 13-U. in favor of Beatrice. The annual clash at Wymore took place on a fine Hrmistice day. H long run by Wilson, with a place kick by Wright, proved enough to make up for the fumble on the Wymore l8- yard line which the Cardinals failed to con- vert. Score 7-6. The trek to Kearney found the Orangemen coated with yellow dust, that even the stiff, cold window failed to remove.

RESERVE FOOTBHLL TERM The Reserve Football Team went through a successful, though only partly victorious season. The squad won four games, tied two, and lost three games of a heavy schedule. Fifty-seven points were scored against the opponents' 86 in the nine-game schedule. The team, untried before, was defeated by Fairbury, l8-U, in the initial game of the sea- son. Emerging from defeat, the squad con- quered Wymore, the second opponent on the schedule, l3-7. Traveling to Barneston, Beatrice again turned the tide to win, 6-U. Randall scored the only touchdown of the game. n Iourneying to Havelock, Beatrice then played a bang-up game, winning l9-6. Pid Claussen was the outstanding player of the day. R thrilling game at Crete ended in a 5-6 tie. Both teams were very fast and played a well- fought battle. Iackson brought a well-balanced reserve team here to defeat Beatrice, l3-O, in a hard fought game. Traveling to Wymore again, Beatrice then handed the Cardinal reserves a 12-U defeat. Hrt Claussen scored the first touch-e down after a BU-yard run. The Wilber B team then played the Re- serves and were defeated, l2-O. Sharrock and Ward played an excellent defensive game. The final game with Bethany ended in a hard fought tie, U-O. It was a clean game be- tween two well-matched teams. Outstanding play of the Reserves was the forward passing in all the games. Several of the games were played under severe weather conditions. Rain, wind, dust, or cold weather seemed always to accompany the day of the game. Beatrice Reserves ......

In that year Beatrice won but one game during the regular season, but wound up as a surprise team at the state tournament by winning the Class Pl cham- pionship. This year, 1937, Beatrice won but three games out of the thirteen played. Two of these were against Vtfymore and one against Geneva, and yet the team came through to qualify for the state tournament where they men and the state tournament, Beatrice started a cautious game that found them trailing, 6-3, at the end of the first half. ln the second half Maxiner and Libal started a bombardment that netted in quick succession and which easily outscored a shaky Falls City offense.

Not since 1929 had the Orangemen appeared in the state mix. The highlight of the season was easily the district tournament. Tecumseh was pushed over in the initial game by quite a margin.

The Reserve Basketball Team did not have a good season, when measured by the num- ber of games won and lost. However, the team played good ball and with a few breaks would have won many more games, for five were lost by close margins of 1 to 3 points. Hebron nosed out the first game of the sea- son by l point and Wymore copped the second game by 2 points. Falls City had a l-point margin and Geneva was equally lucky.
