Twelve years hence: we now find the 1661 firstfgraders, who began their educational career in the year 1926, about to don their caps and gowns, insignias of their learning, to step over the threshold of life. To many people, the Class of 1938 is just another class, but to the graduating seniors, it is the greatest class ever graduating from B. H. S. Entering upon our higher education in 1935, we overwhelmed the greater obstacles Q juniors and seniorsj by our exploits, and proved ourselves to be model sophomores. Under the sponsorship of Miss Pagels, Miss Cingles, Miss Winsor, Mr. Chard, Mr. Benton, and Mr. Broken' icky, we organized as a junior class. Donald Asboe was elected president, Robert Sherwood, vicefpresidentg Lois Drake, secretary, and Betty Colgate, treasurer. In order to carry out the traditional banquet in honor of the seniors, the junior class play was pref sented December 4th, in the Junior High. The play was entitled, The Late Christopher Bean. The plot of the story revolved around some oil paintings, sup' posedly valueless, but in reality worth a fortune. After some exciting moments and narrow escapes, the plot straightened out and everybody lived happily ever after. fPage Twenty-fourl On May 7, we were host at the juniorfSenior banquet. The banquet was, even if we do say so our' selves, a huge success. A timely theme, in keeping with the Coronation, was carried out. Donald Asboe was the wisefcracking toastmaster, Jane Austin, Betty Colgate, and Robert Lee Wilsoii were the student speakers. Miss Johnson and Mr. Henderson spoke for the faculty. Following the banquet a prom was held in the Junior high gym which was appropriately decorated in the coronation theme. Seven Keys to Balclpate, a hairfraising drama, was presented by the Senior class. May 19, we will return to our childhood days and amuscments, and will have our Senior class picnic. The following evening, May 20, the Seniors will be honored at a banquet at the First Christian Church. Sunday evening, May 22, baccalaureate services will be conducted in the junior auditorium with the digni' fied juniors acting as ushers. The music is to be fur' nished by the music department, under the direction of Miss Barclay and Mr. Rennick. Class night will be Monday night, May 23. Commencement is to be Friday, May 27, in the junior high. Mr. Gilmore Roscoe will give the address and Mr. Henderson will present the class. unior Script The junior class contributed its share to the schools success and added much to its own individual advance' ment. Organizing early the second semester, the class elected as president, Ernest Srnethers: vice-president, jack Sharrockg secretary, Adelaide Reynolds, and treasurer, Betty Asboe. The Junior home room teachf ers are Miss Chain, Mr. Latta, Miss Fugate, Miss Peterson, lvliss Ivlarshall, and Ivlrs. Fulton. The Junior class play, New Fires, was presented December -4, under the direction of Miss Johnson. This play was one of the more popular school plays of the season and showed its value in the hands of this tal' ented cast. In honor of the graduating class of 1938, a junior' Senior banquet and prom will be held May 20, with Ernest Smethers presiding. Individual achievements by members of the Junior class were outstanding in all departments. In debate, Robert Brewster, John McCown, Jane Davison, and Marshall Zidell received excellent ratings and carried the heavy load in the contests. Besides Junior play, Juniors held important positions in Dramatic Club productions. Paul Theis was captain of the Patrol and six juniors served duty. juniors monopolized the ofhces in HifY, with Bill Best, president, and Eldon Chamberlain, John McCown and William Kilf patrick other oflicers. Betty Asboe, Adelaide Rey' nolds and Clarabelle Williamsoii were leaders in the Girls' Club and Betty Asboe, jane Davison, Adelaide Reynolds and Clarabelle Williainson in the Student Club. In the District music contest, superior ratings went to Frances Kaub, Murray Crannell, Lew Esther Hen- derson and Robert Lambert, all Juniors. Jeanne Mar' vin, Alicine Martin, Edith George, and Bettylu Graf of the sextette, Paul Thies, ,Ieanne Marvin and Bettylu Graf solos received excellent ratings. Cenial jack Sharrock, vicefpresident, is the lone junior letterman in football. However, on the ref serves were Eldon Chamberlain, Ernest Smethers, Earl Crittenden, Morgan Beste, Raymond Boehmer. Cn the varsity basketball squad were Ernest Smethers, class president and Raymond Boehmer. The tennis and golf teams were almost one hundred per cent Juniors. In tennis there were Neal Zimmerf man, Robert Brewster, Eldon Chamberlain, Roger Maxwell and Marshall Zidell. Golf took Clifford Veon, Loren Aldrich, and Paul Thies. Cfiicers of the G. A. A, included Adelaide Reynolds, Donna Ruth Wierniaii, and Wauiiita Cox. Swimming attracted john McCown, jack Sharrock, William Kilpatrick, Earl Crittenden, and Jean Haith. This class has distinguished itself in spite of a small- er enrollment than is common in recent years. Its contributions to the standards of Beatrice are import- ant, but more significant is the development and en' richment of the individual members. It is toward this ultimate end that all class activities have been directed. Junior Officers President, Ernest Smethcrs ViC6'PT5SIdEHl, Jack Sharrock Secretary, Adelaide Reynolds Treasurer.

N ' , , Student Council THE STUDENT COUNCIL, sponsored by Miss Peterson and Mr. Henderson and composed of a mem' ber from each home room and active organization, was created several years ago for the purpose of promoting a true school spirit and cofoperation between the facf ulty and student body. Problems concerning the school and community are discussed, and the representatives are given an opportunity to voice their own opinions on such matf ters. Each year the Student Council aims to carry out some deiinite and worthwhile projects. This year, due to the increasing enrollment and extra curf ricula activities the Orange and Black handbook and school constitution were revised, enlarging their scope. A Lost and Found committee was also organized to ref lieve the oilice of this duty and to clean up those places in the halls not designated to hold books. The proceeds of lines went into the Student Council treasury. Representatives were sent to the Tenth Annual Conference of Student Council at St. Joseph, Missouri.

Homesteacler Staff THE HOMESTEADER STAFF chosen from the Sen' ior Class of 1933, has striven to puhlish an annual that would he a departure from the traditional. Believing the orange and lwlaek color scheme to he effective hut difficult to present year after year, this Staff has hroad' ened its policies to meet presentfday trends in year' hooks. By using splashes of hlue color to add life to these pages, arranging new layouts, adding more pages and working on schedule, the editors have tried to puhf lish a true reflection of student life, and to have the Hmnesteaderx in the hands of students several weeks hefore the close of the school year. Before the editors can have freedom in expressing their ideas on the pages, an annual must he on a sound financial hasis. By careful hudgeting the staff has heen ahle to puhlish a larger hook without a raise in price. Innovations in the sales campaign raised the sales total to a new high figure. Under the direction of Miss Chain, frequent and effective puhlicity aroused interest. A sales contest also stimulated huying. But after all, you, our readers, are the ones to judge the success of this puhlication. S Debate THE DEBATE TEAM participated in five decision dehate tournaments this year. Although the lirst team missed qualilication at the district tournament in Lin' eoln, they did quite well in other contests.

The team played a very diiiicult schedule of nine games, winning three, tying one and losing five. The squad was made up largely of new' comers hut they soon hecame seasoned veterans. The Orangemen got off to a had start hy suffering a 6-O setfhaek at the hands of the Wymcire Cardinals. Next they journeyed to St. Joseph Central High school. The score was 14fl'l. Still smarting from two previous losses, the Lattamen showed plenty of offensive power hy winning over Tecumseh 1945. Playing at Crete on Octoher 7, the Orangemen were tied hy the Gihhmen 6f6 in the closing minutes of the game. Manhattan, Kansas, come to Beatrice with a good team, hut was defeated 7f0. Beatrice fought Lincoln High for iiftyfnine minutes of exciting foothall and lost when the Red and Black completed a pass in the last seconds of the game. The most disastrous game of the year was lost to Creighton Prep. The Junior Jays, with a tricky offense, defeated the Orange 1947. Proving again that they ALL had lots ol' offensive power, the local team outfyarded and outfdowned Fremont only to come out on the short end ot' a 7f6 decision. Beatrice High traveled to Fairhury on Turkey Day, determined to win the tinal contest of the season. Beat' rice rated the underdog, for Fairhury had lost only two games in the last three years. The Lattamen made it three in a startling upset. The game was hard fought hy hoth teams and the Orange had a lot of difficulty pushing over a touchdown. This was the only score and the game ended with Fairhury trailing 6f0. The worth of this team cannot he determined hy inspection of the schedule. Lady Luck deserted the Orangemen this year, hut they finished a not very sue' cessful season hy defeating their traditional rival, Fairf hury, in a fine exhihition of foothall. Rohert Cuenther, fullhack and jack Ossowski, were chosen cofcaptains hy the team. Next year's team will iind many veterans missing. Sharrock, Wzird and Lampe are the only lettermen to return.

RE'ERVE FOCTB LL The season opened with a jaunt to WVYIIILJFC, from which the yearlings returned with a cheering, 19f6 victory on a hot, dustfladen field. Their home schedule was opened with a thrilling 7-0 victory over the Fairf bury seconds on a cold, rainy afternoon. They next journeyed to Milford and played the first night game in the history of Beatrice Reserves. This game ended 6f6, when, with but seconds to go a Milford man ran 70 yards to tie the score in a storyfbook finish. The first loss was dropped to a veteran Barneston varsity, who were smarting over last year's 7fO defeat. This game ended 14fO. Havelock hit the yearlings on the rebound of the Barneston game to conquer them 7-5 on the engineers' gridiron. The squad next made a trek to jackson and atoned for last year's defeat with a thrilling 7f6 victory. The last game was played at Tecumseh in a six-inch snow. In this game, the Beat- rice team rose into their full glory and pounded out a decisive 26f0 victory. fPage Fovtyfeightl The substitutes of the Reserves played one game this year and were defeated by the Wilbur reserves here 6fO. There will be a few of this team lost by graduation this year, but most of them will be good varsity or reserve material for next year. There was no outstanding star for the year, but there were many steady, strong players. ents were outscored by this team 6i'44.

In the first home game, the Orangemen were host to Concordia, Kansas. The outstaters fell 3121. Next up was the Fairlwury outht. The game ended with Be- atrice on top, 19f16. With the home team going full sway, they easily rolled over York High 31f22. After four straight wins and with no losses the , Beatrieians suffered their iirst loss to W mor 30f2l Y C, Th M W - e Orangemen won thc next two frays. The first of these was played at Crete on the Doane College floor with the Lattamen druhhing the Cardinals 33f13. In the second tilt the Orange Quint turned hack an agf gressive Geneva hunch 29f25. Following this, Beatrice fell hefore an undefeated Falls City aggregation. It took plenty of scrap from a squad of Missouri h the Tigers to edge out a 22119 victory. This same score, 22f19, prevailed the following week on .lackson's court, with Beatrice holding the 22 and jackson High ot Lincoln with the 19. On the following Tuesday the Beatrice cagers jaunted to Hehron and defeated the Bears 34f27. Following these were the five toughest yet to go: Lincoln High, state Class NA champs for '37f3S, took the first of these from the Orangemen, 35f23, on the home floor. On a two-day invasion of the St. Joseph, Mo., our lads fell helplessly before Central High 39f22 and lost to St. joe Benton 16-32, on the following night to wind up their out-state trip. Creighton Prep provided the tough opposition for their next home fray and managed to pull away in the last half to win 3346. The last home game surprised asketeers. Playing smartly and setting the pace until the Hnal few min' utes, the Lattamen couldn't hold out and took the short end of a 3if30 score. Six Seniors wound up their high school careers hy toppling Fairlwury 25f20, to take third place in the Class MA ney at Falls City.

Higgenbotham played seventeen games, winning nine and losing eight. The squad consisted of fifteen players, three Juniors, nine Sophomores, and three Freshmen. No Seniors participated in reserve basketball. The Reserves had little trouble getting under way as they bumped off three teams in order. After this they found trouble in connecting consistently. After reaching the half-way mark of the season, illness kept Schlagel, regular center, out for most of the remaining games. Cliff Veon soon went out and capably filled the vacancy. The Junior Orangemen showed marked talent at many times, the high spot being the Lincoln Reserve game, which they lost, 39-19, after holding the heavily' favored visitors to even terms throughout the first half. They showed a neverfsayfdie spirit which upheld the traditions of all Beatrice teams. No doubt the present Reserves will hear watching in next yea1 s varsity lineup as several were advanced to the varsity at the end of the season. Tennis Tennis, one of the minor sports of the school, took a more advanced step this year because of the unusual amount of interest given mostly by the under classmen. With dx persons willing to participate and repref sent the school, it tried to arrange matches with Lin' coln, jackson, Havelock, Fairbury and Wymore. Without a team to represent Beatrice last year H9371 the interest hit a slump, but is being revived. With the school's own tennis court to practice on it should not be too difficult to have a good team organ' ized. Neal Zimmerman, champion of Hebron High school, raised the prospects of the tennis team. Members were: Donald Asboe, Robert Brewster, Roger Max' well, Eldon Chamberlain, Marshall Zidell and Neal Zimmerman. lfPage Fiftyj The seasons record: Beatrice Reserves . . 26-Tecumseh Reserves ..,.., 14 Beatrice Reserves .. -Cortland .. 15 Beatrice Reserves Fairbury Reserves . 15 Beatrice Reserves 22-Crete Reserves .. . 24 Beatrice Reserves. , 27-Virginia ..............,. .. 22 Beatrice Reserves .. -Geneva Reserves. 20 Beatrice Reserves -Wymore Reserves 27 Beatrice Reserves -Falls City Reserves . 24 Beatrice Reserves . 29-Filley . .. 38 Beatrice Reserves 28-Holmesville ................. . 31 Beatrice Reserves . .. -Lincoln Reserves . 39 Beatrice Reserves . . -jackson Reserves 18 Beatrice Reserves ..... -Hebron Reserves ......... 15 Beatrice Reserves. ..

Matches with the following teams were arranged, both for a home game and a return game. Away from home: Marysville, Eairbury, Linf coln and Havelock. The team consisted of four play' ers and sometimes five, according to the wish of the visiting team. The regular players of the team were Robert Littrell, Clifford Veon, Loren Aldrich and Paul Thies. Those winning onefhalf of their points, which is equivalent to one and onefhalf points average a game, receive a golf letter, and are initiated into the B Club. Each team is entitled to send two men to the state meet, which is held in Lincoln, the players playing first and second man are usually the ones to go.

S. Latta. Thirtyffour sprinters, high jumpers, hurdlers, longfdistance runners, checked out suits. Of this numher only four were experienced hoys. Rex Floyd, state champion ol' the 3801 John Huhhard, Rufus Miller, and Rohert Vxfadley, pole vaulters, returned to compete. The field events have long heen the weak link in the track team's activities, hut this year many hoys put forth their efforts towards developing this department, Schevc, Clausen, and Ossowf ski were the leaders in this movement. Interfschool meets helped much in correcting the faults of the tracksters. As the school oval has heen greatly improved, nothing hindered the workouts.

The season consi of four dual meets, a triangular meet, and an interfclass meet, under the coaching of Marvin Hersey. Although the Qrangemen won no meets, some of the contests were close and the final event of the meet decided the winner. The first dual meet of the schedule was at Omaha, with the defending state champions, Omaha Tech. The meet was won on the last relay hy Tech. The score was 3729. ln this meet, Beatrice took five of the eight possihle first places. The following week Beatrice swam Lincoln in the local pool and was severely heaten hy a score of 5943. For the next thirteen days the tankers went into seclusion for a meet with Tech hefore the local crowd. Wheii Tech engaged Beatrice here, the team was somewhat nervous as this was their first meet hefore I:Page Fiftyffourj sted the home people in two years, and Tech repeated its victory hy the same score as in the previous meet, 3709. In the last dual meet, Lincoln scored a second vicf tory over the Beatrice mermen in their pool hy a score of 5? 17 The state meet was won hy Omaha Tech with Bef atrice trailing Lincoln for third place. The interfclass meet was held ni the Y pool, as always, and was won hy the Juniors and Sophomores comhined, who upset the Seniors in the final relay. The season was marked hy defeats, and also the lack of reserve in the Beatrice waters. The 1939 team will come up with lettermen and reserve power and will he out for more than a moral victory, which the '38 team had won.
