H . up Contrary to all formal predictions, all the charter members of the Senior Class arrived at the embarka- tion point at the appointed moment of departure, the occasion being the Senior Sneak Trip, April 3, 1959. The time consumed by the drive to Boys' Town, first stop on the sojourn, was spent in the manly art of cards with the Messrs. Gray and Ray- Held instructing in the finer arts of cribbage. After thoroughly examining the regular routine of Boys' Town life, the group proceeded to Omaha where they established temporary living quarters in the SWANKYC?J Rome Hotel. Having checked in, the class divided into two entertainment groups. One was enthralled by the musical production, South Pacific, while the other explored the Omaha stockyards. Under the influence of South Pacific, several of the girls professed a desire to meet john Kerr in the jungle. The evening of the third began with the gorgeous Ice Capades. The evening of the third ended with a glorious party extending into the morning of the fourth. On the fourth the class moved to Lincoln where the girls shopped and shop- ped. The boys' activities were varied and relatively unknown. The trip culminated on the evening of the fourth with the long, depressing bus ride home. joeline summed up everyone's feelings exactly by say- ing, I'm happy it's over but unhappy that it is. The class thanks Mrs. Edwin Kort and Mrs. John Brehm, room mothers, for their assumption of re- sponsibility. ,.--v' ffl.. ..-- '

awe Qfiotofzq The following is the history of the graduating class of 1959 as it might be seen through the eyes of a sports writer. Twenty assorted individuals answered head coach Ralph L. Gray's call to service on the 28th day of August, 1955. The session was spent checking out equipment and electing team representatives. Mr. Rayfield and Mr. Hopkins were chosen co-captains. Returning lettermen from the '54 squad included Sharon Bentz, joeline Kuhn, Letha Leetsch, john Tjaden, Tom Meyer, and Dan Baird. Other mem- bers showing a good deal of potential were Larry Brehm, Don Bauder, Barbara Bachman, Ken Bus- chow, Larry Bmntz, Victor Hesman, Keith Kort, Ruth and Doris Hofman, Dale Strasburg, Darrel Russell Potts, Jr., and Alvin Witte. In a brilliant mid-season trade the class obtained Dave Gartner, Bill Niles, and Marlene Highley for Larry Bruntz. The team played four games that season and whipped all four opponents, who included World Geography, Algebra, Science, and English. They ended the sea- son with the avowed purpose of returning the next fall and again going undefeated. The same squad reported the next fall - heavier but wiser. They chose the same co-captains but were given a new team nickname, Sophomores. The class was delighted by the acquisition of a proven performer, hefty Pat Roberts, from nearby Hastings. Tom Meyer and Bill Niles were booted from the squad for smoking and Marlene Highley for keeping late hours. The team again came through with fly- ing colors by blasting all four opponents on the The Junior season was hectic. Torn by internal strife, the outfit could manage only to win one game with English. They were hopelessly outclassed by Algebra II and Typing. After ferocious battles they contrived to tie American History, Shorthand, and Latin I. Team leaders were Mr. Rayfield and Mr. Roberts. The team treasury was increased by a benefit game. The enemy didn't show up so the team presented a play instead entitled, You Can? Take It With You. The coaches bade a sad farewell to Victor Hesman who received a slight brain con- cussion during the Geometry game. Vic was always a lighter, as he proved when he knocked firebrand Darrell Russell Potts, jr., better known as Potty, all the way to Hastings during the Sophomore season. A welcome addition to the team was the blushing champion from Perry, Iowa, Marlys Oye. To guide, lead, and direct them during their final glorious season the Seniors chose co-captains Mr. Gray and dependable Mr. Rayheld. Mr. Rayfield had the dubious distinction of making class decisions for four seasons. The squad was composed of the following notorious mental athletes: Barbara Bach- man, Dan Baird, Don Bauder, Sharon Bentz, Larry Brehm, Ken Buschow, Ruth and Doris Hofman, Keith Kort, joeline Kuhn, Marlys Oye, Pat Roberts, Dale Strasburg, john Tjaden, and Alvin Witte. Al was team quarterback during the home stretch. All the teams on the schedule thoroughly clobbered the squad, but it was of little concern to the team mem- bers as most of them were busily engaged signing Seam peeping pam schedule. professional contracts.
