Dedication We, the annual staff of 1954 and our sponsor, Mr. Moore, wish to dedicate our annual of this year to the newly built clinic in our community. Because of the willingness and initiative of the American Legion and Auxiliary, Beemer has been able to have this much needed clinic, built within a very short time. Thanks are in order for the Legion and the Auxiliary for their fighting spirit to attain this goal for our community. We also need to thank those who so graciously contributed to this worthy cause so that the Legion and Auxiliary could arrange for the construction of the clinic. All can take pride in what they have done to help the Legion and Auxiliary make a great improvement in our community. We hope that it will give good medical services to the persons of our community to the best of its abilities, now and in the future. 2 EARL MOORE.

Annual Sponsor 10 The Class Prophecy December 11, 1964 Dear Mr. Moore; I thought perhaps you would like to hear some news about folks who graduated in the class of '54. At the present time we are traveling around the world. When we happen to meet Herman Oswald, who has completed his life long ambition, which is running a soft drink Parlor. In his spare time he gets to mow the chief's lawn. As we entered Spain we ran on to Kenneth Schlickbernd who is now a champion bull fighter. As we were sitting in the stadium watching the great bull fighter we ran on to Leroy Koenig who is a first class street cleaner. As we traveled into France we stopped in a side walk cafe where we were surprised to see Jo Ann Tichota who was sitting at the table next to us with her little baseball team. She always said she was going to have a large family. As we hurried on to London we decided to see one of Englands' greatest Opera's. We were surprised to hear that Marlys Albus is the star singer. After hearing such a program we were soon on our way to Hawii where we were met by Ann Schlickbernd doing her Hawaiian dance. After a long talk with her. she took us to meet Mary Kuncl who married a very rich man from the states who is now vacationing in Hawaii. We were soon on our way to China where we met Naomi Kroeger who never succeeded in getting Herman Oswald for her groom to be, took up Missionary work in China. We were soon sailing for Australia. As we ordered our dinner we met a good looking stewardess to be nobody else but Dorothy Heitman. As we returned to the United States we went to Arizona where we visited Ver Nelle Sindelar where she is owner of a big dude ranch. Her chief dude is Victor Jording. As we returned to Nebraska we visited Betty Young who is married to a successful farmer north of Beemer. Sincerely yours Karen Burke Raymond Picha P.S. Maybe you would like to know what we are doing. Raymond is now owner of the Camel Cigarette Manufacturing Company 11 Karen is happly living in Scribner Nebraska married to Jerry Kai. Junior Class FIRST ROW: Carol Kotik. Alice Nitzsche.

ANNUAL STAFF We Seniors of this year have selected an annual which was printed by the Walsworth Brothers. We chose a book which will protect the precious memories of the Senior Class and the school days for years to come. Through the co-operation of the business men of Beemer and of adjoining towns, they have made possible for us to publish this annual. The Seniors wish to thank all the people who had any- thing to do with making our annual a success. The pictures in this annual have been taken by T. H. Rivers and Genelli Studios of Sioux City. We think they are very fine pictures, which also aid in the publishing of a better annual. The Senior Class under the direction of Mr. Moore our annual sponsor, have given our time, and effort in making this annual. This annual has been published with the feeling that our time and effort has not been wasted. In the. years to come this book will bring back many memories of our years in school. 19 Student Council SENIORS Victor Jording Marlys Albus Raymond Picha EIGHTH Johnny King THE STUDENT COUNCIL MEMBERS OF 1953-1954 HIGH SCHOOL JUNIORS Rosemary Fehliman Richard Hanzel SOPHOMORES Helen Jording Janette Picha GRADE REPRESENTATIVES SEVENTH SIXTH Delores Kotik Clifford Pojar FRESHMAN Paul Jording Glen Ott FIFTH Judy Pasold FOURTH THIRD SECOND Gerry King Patricia Smith Lynn Beckman The Student Council was a very busy and active group this year. At the first meeting officers were elected. They were as follows: Victor Jording, President, Paul Jording. Vice-President, Rosemary Fehliman, Treasurer, and Marlys Albus, Secretary. These officers held the same offices all year. The Student Council sponsored a fine group of National School Assembly Programs again this year. For the benefit of keeping out of debt and also for the benefit of the students, the Student Council charged 20 cents admission to all the programs and the difference was paid for with the profits of the magazine drive. The magazine drive proved very successful again this year. Crowell-Colliers was used the same as last year. Besides this the Student Council had many small jobs too numerous to mention. So you can see that they had a busy and enjoyable year. 20 Freshman Initiation was held on September 25. The Seniors made all the arrangements for this event. Each Freshman was supposed to bring shoe polish for the Seniors shoes or anyones shoes that the Seniors desired to have polished. Each Senior chose a Freshman and told them how to dress for this special day. Most of the boys were dressed like girls with dresses worn inside out and backwards. The biggest share of the girls were dressed like boys with old overalls turned inside out and backwards and old work shirts turned inside out and backwards. Everytime a Freshman met a Senior they were supposed to bow. If they did not obey, the Seniors gave them a little encouragement with a paddle they made out of newspapers. The Seniors went to math class with the Freshmen to see how intelligent they were. Of course the Seniors tried to help the Freshmen as much as possible. At noon the Freshmen ate their dinner with the Seniors out on the lawn. After the Freshmen had finished their lunch they had to wash the Seniors' cars, then they had to wash some of the Juniors cars. When they got done with this chore it was 1 o’clock and time for the mock wedding. Norma Jean Toelle was the groom and Robert Schlickbernd was the bride. When going to classes the Freshmen had to go up and down the steps on their hands and knees. By 4 o'clock the Freshmen were tired and wanted to go home. So at 7 o’clock the Freshmen came for the night’s event. After the program the Freshmen and the Seniors paraded down town. W'hen they got back the Seniors served them a delicious lunch. After they finished eating the Freshmen were so kind as to stay and clean up after everyone had left. Senior Class Play The Senior class presented their play “The Little Dog Laughed”. November 23 and 24. The play begins when Laurie Huntington a Sophomore in college, comes home and starts giving everybody the Zombrowski Ink Blot Test, and tells some very important ladies which her mother had invited to a tea, about their inner personality. Her interference completely finishes off Wally’s romance with Joan Wood “Deadwoods daughter. While Laurie is out on a date with handsome but moody Mark Bradford, Wally stumbles upon Laurie's professional notes and reads them aloud to his parents. After reading this his parents decided to teach Laurie a lesson. They put on quite a show when they get home at one-thirty in the morning and after this Mark leaves hurriedly and Laurie soon follows. Meanwhile Wally invites Ted and Lillian Wood to the Huntington house. Before this fateful meeting is finished, Sid and Ted get into a paint-brush fight. Sid eventually ends up with the better understanding of his rival, as well as prospect of a new partner. Wally and Joansie have re-discovered each other through “mutual crisis ; and almost everyone has learned something new and helpful about himself.

This was a home game for Dakota City. The boys from Dakota City played a good game and came out in front of Beemer by a score of 56 to 41.

Almost all of last years team was lost by graduation so Beemer fielded an inexperienced team this season. The prospects for next year are somewhat brighter with a number of letter men returning. The competition in the Conference was exceptionally strong as Dakota City, Emerson and Rosalie all tied for the championship with four wins and one loss record. Beemer will be working hard to get a share of the championship in 1954-‘55 season. 32 Beemer Football Record 1953 1954 MAC Y This year the football team did not play Macy due to the fact that Macy's school burned down during the summer and the students were all enrolled at Winnebago. W INSIDE The Bobcats took their first loss of the season with the score of 64 to 0. Winside’s player, Dittman, was the high scoring man of the game with five touchdowns and three extra points. EMERSON The Bobcats took a second loss in the football season to Emerson by a score of 46 to £0. This game the Bobcats were at least able to make a score against their opponents. Emerson's Peters was the high scoring man for the game with three touchdowns while Koenig made two for Beemer with Jording following with one. ROSALIE Here the Beemer Bobcats had suffered another defeat in football. This was a conference game. Rosalie upset Beemer by a score of 34 to 0. Ostrang was Rosalie's high scoring man with five touchdowns which made up all of Rosalie's score. BANCROFT Beemer suffered another defeat from another conference team. Both teams had not won a game before they met. Beemer had high hopes of winning a game but the Bancroft boys thought the same thing. They beat Beemer by a score of 26 to 18. The high scoring man for Bancroft was Brummund with Ehrisman and Koenig getting one a piece for Beemer. During the half time the King and Queen of Beemer’s homecoming were crowned. Queen--Marlys Albus and King--Victor Jording. HAHN HIGH The Beemer Bobcats suffered another defeat but this was not a conference game. The game was played at Waune on the college football field. The boys from Hahn High beat Beemer by a score of 56 to 33. WINNEBAGO Here the Beemer Bobcats suffered another defeat from a «conference team which was played at Beemer. The Boys from Winnebago ran all over the Bobcats, they scored 60 points against Beemer and Beemer scored only 18 points against the Winnebago boys. DAKOTA CITY This being the last game of the season for the Beemer Bobcats, the boys tried hard to get a win but were unsuccessful in their try.
