Heaven can wait! Senior Script When the portals of B. H. S. slid back three years ago to admit a meek and trembling sophomore class, we thought we were goners, not only because of the schol- astic hardships staring us in the face but also because of having to endure three long, terrible years in a cham- ber of horrors, surrounded on all sides by giants and monsters, glaring and scowling at our every deed. But, somehow, the more fortunate ones squeezed through and now at last we come to take our bows. Our flying colors are due in part to Mr. Beal, Miss Gingles, Mr.'Chard, Miss McVicker, Mr. Widman and Miss Pagels who stayed by us and steered us clear of disaster. Not without a sensational, colossal, stupendous, gigan- tic, political campaign did we elect Dale Novotny our president, Millard Boehmer, vice-president, Gretchen Wildhaber, secretary, and Iames Brown, treasurer in the junior year. We presented Cross My Heart, a three-act comedy, which proved to be one of the greatest junior play suc- cesses of all time. Many juniors took part in the oper- etta, Harmony Hall. Tommy Damrow, small but mighty, won the l94O Carl Gray, Union Pacific Scholarship, a feat formerly accom- plished only by seniors. We finished off our grand year with a lovely Iunior- Senior banquet, May 3. Successfully carrying out a Southern theme, our president, Dale Novotny, acted as toastmaster. Gertrude Fulton shared honors with the speakers, Mr. Henderson and Mr. Widman, who spoke for the faculty. Later we adjourned to a decorated Iunior High gym for a gay promenade with an honest-to-good- ness orchestra! Hugh Carroll, Ray Gariss, Les Kassebaum and Milo Kolman remained to be the only senior lettermen on the 1940 football team, while Millard Boehmer, a first-year letterman, was chosen the most outstanding player on the team and showed much ability on the basketball floor. William Andreas added another honor to our class by receiving the 1941 Carl Gray, Union Pacific Scholar- ship. Our great dramatic attempt proved to be very suc- cessful in presenting the immortal Dickens' Christmas Carol, in which Dale Novotny starred as Scrooge. Richard Wood, lean Powell, Chester Dietz, Roy Iohn- son and others gained recognition in the operetta, The Mikado. On May 16 we were royally entertained at the Iunior- Senior banquet with the Iuniors as hosts. A grand prom lfor which we all had been contributing all yearj fol- lowed in the Iunior High gym. Our futures were foretold and we bequeathed our very souls on class night. The Baccalaureate service was the beginning of the end. The Reverend Ross S. McCown gave the sermon and the orchestra furnished appropriate music. May 29 ended it all, with Commencement being held in the Municipal Auditorium. The Right Reverend How- ard R. Brinker of Omaha, the main speaker, inspired us with thoughts to carry through life. No matter what we've said, or what we've done, we really did enjoy every minute of the good old school days.

Page 31 George Kilpatrick, Millicent Cook, Bascom Birmingham, Don Horen Junior Script With a show of confidence and an air of sophistica- tion rarely seen in underclassmen, the Iunior class with their numerous assets were able to create an atmosphere of Wholesome school spirit throughout Senior High school. In athletics, music, dramatics or whatever you choose the Iuniors executed their part greatly to the satisfaction of all. Most of this credit is due to the Iunior class spon- sors, Miss Reid, Miss Peterson, Miss l.eBow, Miss Winsor, Mr. Kohr and Mr. Latta. Organizing about the middle of the first semester, the class elected George Kilpatrick, president, Don Horen, vice-president, Millicent Cook, secretary, and Bascom Birmingham treasurer. The campaign was one of the hottest the school had ever seen and it was climaxed on the final day with a parade and pep band. ln football the Iuniors were represented by Calvin Ax- tell, Don Horen, Barney Carroll, Oliver Weideman, Rob- ert Bauman, Charles Fry, Devan Hershey, William Ien- kins, Dale Liedtke, Harold lones, and Clarence Plank. Basketball attracted Calvin Axtell and Marvin Lar- sen With Max Burroughs acting as student manager. Co-captain of the swimming team was Don Horen. Others on it were Dale Nevitt, Willard Gariss, Merle Bred- well, Harold Dieken, George Larnpe, and Dean Iamieson. Clarence Plank, Robert Summers, Devan Hershey, lerry Haase, Calvin Axtell, Phillip Titus, George Lampe, and Robert Bauman went out for track. The entire debate team consisted of Iuniors, They Won a good number of their debates. The debaters Were Bill Suhr, Clarence Plank, George Kilpatrick, Willard Gar- iss, Bob Coonley, Gerald Ballard, lack Thompson, laNelle Sprague, and Mary Ann Mattoon. The Iuniors were represented in cheerleading by Roberta Stout, who was also chosen Pigskin Queen by the football team. Millie and Bob hayracking it. The Iunior class chose Footloose, a delightful com- edy by Charles Quimly Burdette for their play, The play centers around the Early family, particularly the four children Who, after talking their parents into taking a cruise, find themselves involved in numerous difficulties. The parents return in time to settle everything and the play ends happily, The play was directed by Miss Clara Iohnson. Also in the dramatics department Millicent Cook won two first-place medals at the Hastings Speech Festival for extemporaneous reading of poetry and humorous reading from the book. Bascom Birmingham's outstanding talent at the mar- imba enabled him to entertain the student body in an assembly program and he also played over the radio for a Gospel program. Varsity letters in gym were received by lunior lucid, Don Boyden, Robert Phelps, Iohnathan Puckett, Phillip Titus. Clarence Plank, a lunior, was elected vice-president of the Student Council and Millicent Cook was elected secretary and treasurer of the l94l State Student Coun- cil convention in the fall. Many luniors Worked under the supervision of Miss Merwin as librarians and monitors. The luniors entertained the outgoing Seniors in grand style at the banquet, May l5. The theme of the banquet Was right in step with the times, following the patriotic motif. All in all it was a successful year for the soon-to-be Seniors-Iuniors. Making lemonade?

Several revisions were made and the council decided to leave the system as it is for the duration of this year. The one big change is to replace each felt award given by the Student Coun- cil with a certificate. Earlier in the year, representatives were sent to the State Student Council Convention at York, Nebraska. Here they gathered interesting ideas and information on student government and presented them to the student body. The representatives were Miss Peterson, Raymond Calkins, Gretchen Wildhaber, Millicent Cook, lohn Graf, and Gertrude Fulton. Millicent Cook was elected secretary for the year l942. Regular tea dances were sponsored as usual and enjoyed by all. A plan was attempted to sponsor dances for only the Take a letter, Miss F. students who did not know how to dance, which proved very successful. The morning call to colors was orig- inated and practiced by the whole Senior High school, During the basketball season the problem of too much noise at games arose and the council legislated to solve the problem. A blackboard was set up with the players names and numbers and someone was appointed to keep a running score. The organization met one evening at the Y. W, C. A., and after a very delightful dinner, a successful business meetina was held. The discussion was brought to a close in time to have a line party. Because of the lack of interest in the junior-Senior Prom in previous years, one of the major projects was to raise funds to sponsor a good orchestra. A committee was appointed and work was begun on a new high school handbook. Many other minor projects were completed by the organization that were beneficial to the school as a whole.

National Honor Society Twenty-four members were chosen for thc Beatrice chapter of the National Honor Society on the basis of scholarship, leadership, char- acter, and service. Selected for scholarship from the upper one- third of the senior class, a maximum of fifteen per cent is permitted to be elected. After his election each member of the group and his parents were invited to attend the Na- tional Society dinner, which was held at the Y. W. C. A, The program consisted of telling the mean- ing of the National Honor Society from a par- ent's viewpoint, given by Mrs. W. W. Armstrong, and a student's idea of the organization, pre- sented by Iames Brown. This was iollowed by the reading of the constitution. Then came the induction ceremony, performed by Mr. Henderson, during which the newly elected members sat in the shape of the key- stone. All members took the National Society oath, and signed in the honor register. A gold pin, shaped as a keystone, and decor- ated with a torch, which symbolizes the stand- ards set up for the organization, was presented to each member. Ruth Moore was president of the group, and lames Brown served as secretary. The faculty sponsor of the organization is Miss Fern McV1cker. Beatrice has charter number 244, and has been a member of the National Honor Society since l924. Hi-Y ln May, l94l, the Beatrice Hi-Y finished a very successful year of fun and service.

The organization is composed of two different divisions, the marching band and the concert band. The first part ot the year the marching band held one extra rehearsal a week after school in addition to the five rehearsals held during school time, and the students were drilled in military precision. Mary Ann Mattoon was the drum major and also had charge of the twirlers, who were Pauline Henderson, Donna Shepherdson, Margaret Straub, Mary Louise Warren, Amanda Sharp, Dorothy Barnes, Ruth Ken- nedy and Lorene Elsasser, Officers of the band were: Captain, Floyd Meyers, first lieutenant, Merle Bredwell, second lieutenant, Merwin Lewis, top sergeant, Miles Chard.

Slidel The marching band has played at all the home games and helped promote school spirit at many other school functions. The second halt of the year the band had as its goal a fine concert band. Their attention was given over to intonation, balance, and inter- pretation. The band has not only been playing standard arrangements, but also symphonic arrangements. lt has also been practicing sight reading to quite some extent this year as the band wants to compete in the National Music Contest at Topeka. ln order to be eligible for this, it had to take a first at the State District Contest, which was held in Bearice in April. ln December, four bond students participated in the Nebraska State Music Clinic at North Platte. Students who took part were: Floyd Meyer, bass saxophone, Bob Logan, bass clarinet, Doris Marie Nielsen, b-flat clarinet, and Merle Bredwell, baritone saxophone. One of the main objectives ot the band was to secure new uniforms. They launched their uniform campaign by presenting a concert for the public, lanuary l8. in the lunior High Auditorium. February 20, the band mothers sponsored cr Gay Nineties program and box social for the same purpose at the City Auditorium. April 24 the instrumental de- partment gave a concert in Iunior High Auditorium, Page 52 Qrcfmestra A growth in musical concept, a more thorough understanding of tonal production and an increased realization of the importance of good intonation are the big advances made by the Beatrice senior high orchestra this year, Not perfect but ever striving toward that point is the aim toward which I. H. Rennick and his group of forty-two have put forth their effort. Balance is the present goal, and to achieve good balance, a pro- gram which must necessarily extend over a period of years was begun by Mr. Bennick when he first came to Beatrice. This year the results of that program have begun to appear. Students who took their first lessons down in the grades are beginning to make their showing and the first step toward a well balanced orchestra is taken, The final step which is now in progress includes the completion of instrumentation, the elimination of conflicts with other classes, and the building of student desire. All of these things are aims which show promise of being fulfilled very shortly. I' ,.....7 ..--.. .,.-...

By practicing varied works of Haydn, Beethoven, Mozart and otfi great composers, interspersed with many other lighter compo ition well rounded repertoire has been built up. As a result of time well spent in rehearsals, the orche tra ha tum tioned at many various activities such as class plays, luniorsSenior and Orange and Black banquets, National Honor Society dinner, the Me:- siah and other activities. Smaller groups from the orchestra, such as the string sextet and the string ensemble, have given good account of themselves throughout the year, Beatrice has always been fully represented at the District contest. From the orchestra this year came eight solo contestants The solos and ensembles prepared by these students represent many hours of heavy practice and tedious work. The music contest was held at Beatrice and it was a commendable success. Each year at graduation time the problem of departing seniors looms up in front of the director-but this year the problem is not acute. With only six graduations and a good supply of fresh stock coming on, the orchestra gives promise of even higher achievements than those already gained, Page 53 Herron, Chamberlain, Wood, Goertz, Powell, Iohnson, Reynolds, Dietz, Calkins. Qperetta Gilbert and Sullivan's inimitable Mikado furnished material for one of the most elaborate and successful operettas ever undertaken by Beatrice Senior High. A large crowd of over eleven hundred people witnessed the gay comedy on the night of March l4 in the new Munici- pal Auditorium, Under the direction of Miss LeBoW, many departments and teachers combined to make this a truly all-school production. The scenery and stage sets built in the manual arts department were beautiful, the costumes, vivid and authentic, the make-up, the lighting, and the publicity were all skillfully handled. lean Powell and Roy lohnson were charming as the leads, Yum-Yum and Nanki-Poo. Both displayed out- standing vocal ability. Richard Wood and Walter Her- ron were riotously funny as Ko-Ko and Pooh-Bah, and Iene Chamberlain portrayed the appalling Katisha with characteristic blood-thirstiness. Robert Calkins used Sing for your supper. his fine voice to a good advantage in the part of the mustached Pish-Tushf' Emmylu Goertz and Mary May Reynolds were attractive as the giggling, blushing Pitti- Sing and Peep-Bo, ln the fashion of true emperors, Chester Dietz sang skillfully the role of the great Mikado himself. A chorus of eighty-nine singers did a fine job in the complicated action required to support the nine soloists of the cast. Two groups of dancers directed by Richard Wood and led by Roberta Stout added beauty and at- mosphere to the operetta. An especially pretty number was the firetly dance done with tiny, twinkling flashf lights on a darkened stage. The concert band played before the performance and between acts. Much of the polish of the production was due to the splendid work of Ivan Walker who manipu- lated the control board of the loud-speaking system.
