We thought that by doing this, we might save ourselves some extra work as the school year drew near its close. We commenced by having staff meetings every Wednesday at 3:45. We continued in these meetings until every member knew his assigned work for the year. We went to work with a will and we were promised fair sailing. Along toward the last of the year the staff feels that it has done a good year's work. We submit this book to the consideration of the students of Broken Bow High School. You know that we have tried our best and we hope that in looking over this book you will not criticize it for its faults but will just remember that the Annual Staff and Senior Class of 1922 have tried their best to give you a book which will merit your appreciation. And when in later years you look back over the book you can remember the doings and sayings of the Students of Broken Bow High School 1922, both wise and otherwise. —Ed. ’22. Page 9 Mr. A. J.

Georgk iSecretary THE VALUE OF A HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION APART from the building in which it is housed, the personnel of the Broken Bow High School and its value to the community is a matter in which every citizen of the city should have a deep and lasting interest. When we consider the curriculum of the high school in its present form it presents a course of study equal to colleges and seminaries of two scores of years ago. A college education of that day was a distinction that few people could afford. But today the necessity of urging the young men and women of the present day to avail themselves of the opportunity to pass from boyhood and girlhood into young manhood and young womanhood with a full knowledge of the things taught and offered by the present high school course is as great as ever. To do otherwise is to rob them of an equal opportunity of a successful career, when they enter the Teal race of life. The discipline of a high school student, the habit of application he is forming, the spirit of self-control whereby he applies himself to study rather than to enjoyments of various kinds to which the trend of his nature calls him, in and by itself, is worth the time, thejnonev, and the energy he is called upon to put forth in order to attain his desire. The first graduate of our high school, its first commencement, was the class of 1890. I)r. Willis E. Talbot was the whole class. He is making good and as far as we know a large percent of the graduates from our high school have made good in the several walks of life where they have found themselves. The training, the discipline they received at the high school must be an element in the success of the school’s graduates. From the first commencement to and including the class of ’19, some six hundred students have finished high school course and taken up some kind of work as a life’s vocation. They are being heard from time to time and our citizenship is enriched because of the manner in which they are performing their work. They are a credit to the community that sustains it.

'bile factories may have been idle, while every commercial enterprise was reducing its forces and retrenching in every way, the business of training for useful citizenship was running at full capacity. A school never experiences that depression that affects the business world. In fact the attendance in the Broken Bow High School for the past year has set a new record with a total enrollment of 268. While some of these have dropped out during the year a fine lot of young people have finished a full year of high school work. During the year Broken Bow High School has taken part in manv and varied activities. Our Stock Judging team has won fourth place in the state competition with teams representing 24 high schools. Individual members of the team won two seconds and one fourth place. In debate, our team has met three other teams and have gained experience that will mean victories in years to come. All of our debaters have been members of the three lower classes. ith this group as a nucleus, the teams for the coming vears ought to be well prepared to uphold our high school. I.ucile George was our representative in the District Declamatory Contest and brought home first honors in the dramatic class. She will represent the school in the State Contest. A much larger number of pupils has taken part in Public Speaking —debate and declamatory work—than in any previous year. This training is of the very greatest value. In athletics, our teams have upheld the honor of the school. This does not mean that they have been all-victorious, but they have played the game hard and clean. 1 hey have left behind them records of the best kind of sportsmanship in every contest. Truly a record of which we are all proud. And so, in studies and all activities, the high school as a whole and as individuals has had a successful year. It has been a year that will open to other and greater years. May each year be better than any that has gone before!

Page 22 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY I ONG, long ago, there migrated to the Broken Bow High School a strange group people in a class all by themselves. They were looked upon in scorn, and christened the hated name of “Freshies” upon sight. But, nothing daunted and career hut slightly blighted bv that eruel blow, they pressed on, selected a motto, earned a color, and e’er that trying year elapsed had won favor throughout the school. Such a class, there never was and can never be. I he next tall when they again assembled in the marble halls of learning, their hearts were filled with sorrow at finding several members had departed to unknown parts, but became pacified on seeing the new faces. The honors and glories were still theirs and pouncing mercilessly on every one, they made the following generations green-eyed with jealousy. But ah! the following year marks an episode that can never be forgotten. We were half through our long hut pleasant journey when Captain Seely joined our happy family, offered his services gladly and has been a faithful and loving father ever since. That year as we watched the noble Seniors before us, our hearts slowly filled with contempt for their small showings and we, already Seniors at heart gazed into the mystic future with such vivid anticipation that the wretched class at our rear w'ere trembling with vague forebodings. And well may they have trembled. We have given them no peace of mind nor happiness of soul since our occupation of the “owl roosts.” But outdo us, they never can. We have broken all records, climbed all heights and now, standing on the verge of the Grand Canyon of Success in Life, we pause to bid you, one and all, adieu! —Seniors of 22.

Truth is an essential attribute to all real history which concerns itself with schools and classes and so it shall be essential in this history of the class of ’23. The beginning of our great historical epoch was the formation of a freshman class, consisting of ninety-five members, and the election of officers. We wanted for a President some one with some “pep” so we elected Charles Beal. Ruphena Ilichman was chosen for Vice-President and Ralph Jackson for secretary and treasurer. Miss Winifred Este was chosen class sponsor at our second meeting. It was through her wise advisorship that the class has such an unimpeachable record to leave behind. Continued on Page 63 Pa re 25 IV SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY JN our Freshman days we started to school September 1, 1920. There were a few over ninety of us. We had the honor of being the first class to graduate from the Junior High School. We took the torture of initiation with as much composure as any other Freshman class and wore off as much of the “green” as possible with shoe blackening, etc. Our class was the largest in school. We carried off a great many honors, of course; we won the party that the Seniors gave to the class that sold the most annuals. We came hack in September. 1921, resolved to make a better showing than ever, as we did. Of course we gained a few hut lost more and we now number about eighty-six, being still the largest class in school. We carried off practically all the honors of the year as the Sophomore class is Basketball Champion and also Debating Champion. There were five letter-men on the Football and three on the Basketball squad out of the Sophomore Class. Again we won the Annual selling contest and were given a Backward party by the Seniors, which was enjoyed by all. Page 20 H ?

We conquer—not only in our studies but the teachers’ good-will so that for three more years they may help us up the ladder of success. As for socials, we have most the classes beat. We have a crowd “that mixes just like molecules of air and gas,’’ as we learn in General Science. Of the many other tilings in which we have taken part in, athletics comes next. One of our class has “subbed” on the teams of football and basketball. Several others were out for track and they show good material for years to come. M. R. ’25.

The Council was organized and planned through the combined efforts of Mrs. Smith, Mr. Hewitt and their President, Kenneth Burk, the purpose being to bring the school under the democratic plan of teacher and pupil’s government. Every individual is given a chance to show his or her originality and initiative in making suggestions for laws and regulations, by which the school is to grow and prosper. This idea was also carried into the new Junior High School when our Council gave them the duties and purposes, etc. of the organization. The very first task for our Council was to form a Constitution. This provides for the election of the members, the duties and eligibility of tile officers, the allotment of the student fund for each activity, the method used in legislation and the making of the laws. Perhaps the greatest accomplishment of all, however, is that the Student Council has succeeded in a measure in breaking down the harrier which usually exists between the teacher and pupil, establishing a feeling of co-operation, good-will and fellowship through the school. The next year, 1920-2], Leo Ford was the President. The duties of that year were on the same order as those of the year preceding. This year the President is Albert Seeley. The Council added to the constitution the clause which provided for awarding the letters to the Basketball, Football and Track men. This organization, young as it is has made the students and teachers feel that it is a great benefit to both. We sincerely hope that this organization will continue in the good work and will result in making this High School one of the most looked-up-to in State. Page 31 HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA T HE High School orchestra was organized in the spring of 1921 under the leadership of Miss Ruth Thomas. At the beginning they boasted of ten members but some of them were unable to finish the year. The orchestra played at the Parent-Teachers’ Association that year and also furnished the music for the Operetta given by the Girls’ Chorus. This year. 1921-22, the orchestra began in September at the first of school. The whole number of members was ten and these ten remained faithful all through the year. The orchestra played for the Parent-Teachers’ Association and the Carnival. This High School hasn’t had an orchestra for a number of years. We sincerely trust that the good work will he carried on even after we Seniors have gone and will not be able to hear it. Page .12 ! 5 R n K E ,V 0 W rO 1 7 , GIRLS’ CHORUS THK GIRLS’ CHORUS continued with its work this year under the supervision of Miss Ethel Booknau. They sanjj on several occasions and were planning for an operetta when the resignation of Miss Booknau deferred the practice. Many of the High School girls have entered Chorus and it promises to be a successful year.

It now-consists of eleven girls, all of whom are earnestly endeavoring to find schools. The class has had many good times observing, teaching and reading references. But the latter caused a great deal of grief because of reference books. Teaching began in February after the girls had observed in all the grades.

Some times a Junior would get a Senior hook, and our pacifier, Miss Van Buskirk had a wrinkle to smooth out of her Normal Training classes. The Juniors enjoyed their visit to the country to observe, very much. But they had to go alone for the Seniors could not go that time. Considering the ups anil downs the whole year has seen a very successful one in the Normal Training Department. K. F. ’22. Page 35 B R 1 n K E Ar THE HOYS’ GLEE C'LI H TIE boys of the high school realized that an education without some of the finer qualities of life is useless. So a glee club was organized with about twenty-six members present most of the time. It was difficult to find time to practice except after supper. But the results were forthcoming even under all the hardships. Numbers were rendered at the Carnival and at the Methodist church when services were held especially for the I)e Mol ays. Though the public has not heard or knows what has been accomplished, the boys themselves have come to realize music is one of the things outside of hooks that does “stir the soul.” Next year it is the sincere wish that a glee club can be organized sooner with a better time to practice than has been had this year. With the talent present that there is, Broken Bow High should easily round out her school into one that needs he surpassed by none and which every Alumnus will he proud to mention in after years. It is not for the present we arc building but for the future, so let’s give three cheers to the boys for attempting their share and the nights of practice they put in. Page 3C c e.

These particular representatives met under the supervision of a faculty member, Miss Torrence, who instructed them as to the character of the work they were taking up and what would be required of them in preparation for debating. As Broken Bow High School is a member of the Nebraska Debating League, it is necessary to have a negative and an affirmative team. Material for two teams and strong emergency subs were proven to be available when the interclass debates were held. In the inter-class debates the Sophomores first defeated the Freshmen by a unanimous vote of the judges. The Seniors defaulted to the Juniors, who were later defeated by the Sophomores by a two to one judge decision. In the debates the Sophomore team upheld the affirmative and the Junior upheld the Negative. The first High School team that Broken Bow met was Merna, there. The affirmative team represented Broken Bow, composed of Clyde Keener, Cornelia Ayers and Newell Joyner. The result, that we are sorry to state was a defeat 3-0. Our second clash was with Mason City when Ralph Jackson, Helen Hopkins and Lewis Mvers were defeated by 3 to 0 score. On April 14, the picked High School Team of Cornelia Ayers, Helen Hopkins and Newell Joyner were defeated in the final debate by Ravenna, 2-1. This is considered the best debate of the season and it was only after a long deliberation t!iat the judges finally decided in Ravenna’s favor. A. J. S. L. B. ’22. Page 38 B o 0 i n i v DISTRICT DECLAMATORY CONTEST IX the district Declamatory Contest, held at Kearney, April 7, 1922, Broken Bow’s representative, Luciele George, was unanimously awarded first place in the Dramatic Class. As the schools of six counties were represented in this contest, Broken Bow may well feel proud of her achievement in this line. It is interesting to note that two other contestants gave as their subject, “The Little Rebel’ , the piece with which Miss George won her high honors, and the second place was also given to a contestant who had the same subject. However, the issue was at no time in doubt, the nearest average as given by the judges was 86% against 98%. The winning of the district contest gives Broken Bow High School the right to he represented in the State Contest to be held at Lincoln and we are confident that our representative will uphold the honor of the school in a creditable manner and make Broken Bow again “Second to None.’’ Broken Bow will also be represented at the County Contest to he held May 3. Our representatives will be Mii.drki) Esiikr..................................Humorous I.rciKi.K Gkorgk.................................Dramatic Ray Nye......................................Oratorical These are the flower of the largest squad of orators the school has ever had.

Page 39 SMITH-HUGHES AGRICULTURE THE idea li as long passed that an apprenticeship under a successful man of a chosen profession is sufficient equipment for a student to compete with his generation as a lawyer, doctor of medicine, minister, banker or whatever he may choose to be. The realization of a need of better training came even before the laws requiring specified training for these professions were enacted. The keenness of competition, the high cost of equipment and supplies, the overlapping of industries and the complexity of the modern farm and its equipment have brought the farmer and stockman to realize that if his son is to be successful in competition with the coming generation he must he able to use the best modern methods of procedure. He must know whether his crops are bringing in fair profits, whether his live stock is making him money, if not why not and how to remedy the trouble. In fact the modern farmer must be a good business man as well as a laborer,—must work with his head even more than with his hands if he is to succeed. To do this under existing conditions he must have a better training than is afforded him by what he “picks” up as general chore hoy and farm assistant while he is not in school. He cannot afford to wait for practical experience—while practical experience is considered a sure teacher yet it is both expensive and slow. llroken How is one of the schools of Nebraska which furnishes in its Smith-Hughes course a means of acquiring both systematic training and practical experience, for a moderate expenditure of time and money, in such vocational agricultural subjects and mechanical work which adequately fit boys for the farm and through them contribute to the improvement of country life. Under the provisions of the Smith-Hughes Act funds are available from the federal government for work in those subjects which are of primary importance in the business of making a success of the farm. Under this course the student spends one-half of each day in regular school work such as English and mathematics, and one-half in Smith-Hughes classes or laboratories. Work is taken up in soil fertility including conservation of moisture and cultivation; the kind of plants or crops adapted to the locality and soil, their cultivation and propagation and how to improve them; the selection, care, breeding and feeding of live stock including poultry, and in addition to this a practical, working knowledge of farm tools, their repair and upkeep. Class and laboratory work is made as practical as possible and the work is carried on during the summer vacation by means of projects under the supervision of the instructor. Next year the course will be further adapted to the needs of the farm boy by the inclusion of a course in farm management. This will take up more specifically the business side of farming. If the student intends to carry his studies further than high school, college entrance credit is given for work done in the Smith-Hughes course. Page 40 SMITH-HUGHES HOME ECONOMICS THIS is the third year of Smith-Hughes Course in the Broken Bow High School and there will be six girls completing the course this year. The work was begun under Miss Winifred Estes. Miss I.ulu Bovee carried on into the second year. Mrs. Pauline Davis Kepler is carrying on the work this year. This course included three semesters of Food and Clothing, and of General Science, Physiology, Household Physics, House Management, Home Nursing, Hygiene and Household Chemistry. The requirements in this Course are vocational half-day and other courses the rest of the day. The Smith-Hughes Course in this High School is not very old but we think it has been a wonderful improvement in the status of this school. THIS -ear one instructor has had charge of both the agricultural and shop divisions. In the mechanical department the students learn to forge, weld, temper and the operations and repair of gas engines, tractors and automobiles. This year the instructor bought a burned automobile which the students under his supervision put in working order and re-assembled. They plan to use this ear next year for the field work in soil and crop studies and for stock judging classes. Included among the articles made by the students in woodwork the past year are hog and chicken houses and feeders, combination hatching nests and brooder pens, scratch pens, folding kitchen stools, medicine cabinet, fern stand, kitchen cabinet and hall tree. The general repair work—filing saws, tempering, welding, etc., is the big feature of this division of the course because of its value to the student in later life whether on the farm or in the other business. In general the Smith-Hughes course enables boys to take up the work of the farm intelligently.

Thirty lads assembled on the training field ready for the task of developing a winning team. Three weeks of hard training passed before a game was scheduled. September 30, the season opened with Loup City here. Broken Bow was greatly weakened from the loss of Captain Scott, fullback, but with this handicap the final score 9 to 7 in favor of the locals was a good beginner. October 7, Grand Island came up, proving to be a stronger team than the week-before-visitors. Broken Bow had developed wonderfully the. previous week, proving it by holding the strong Islanders 6 to 6 score until the last three minutes of the game. Here, Broken Bow on her own five yard line attempted to punt out of danger, but the ball was blocked by Black, tbe visitor’s center, who after the ball had passed over the goal line fell on it for a six point counter. With a scoring point from a free goal the game ended l.'l to (i in Grand Islands favor. However, when Grand Island later played a scoreless game with Beatrice and Lincoln it will be readily seen that Broken Bow played a game of football worthy of remembrance and appreciation. October 14. Broken Bow journeyed to Ord taking thirty men, all being eligible players. Here again a close game was played, tbe final score 9 to 7 in favor of Ord was truthful of the hard fought game. The following Friday, October 21, the Coach took a group of men to Lexington to play a game of football. True enough they played a good game considering the line-up. Five regulars were out on account of a prank, two out by injuries and two from sickness. Scott, our reliable fullback, played his first game of the season having been out previous to this game from sickness. His position gave the team more courage thus giving Lexington a good game after all Broken Bow’s Page 44 S0iV i922 losses. The score I t to 0 in favor of Lexington was nothing to crow over. Here it might be mentioned that Lexington had been defeated by Gothenburg before the above game and also after Broken Bow had won over Gothenburg. Facts are sometimes derived from comparisons. Friday, October 28, Gothenburg came to Broken Bow with intentions of taking home the fat pig. but expectations are sometimes developed otherwise. Once more the regulars were organized, proving Broken Bow’s power of victory when the team was composed of capable men. Final score 18 to 0 Broken Bow. November 4, “Rain. No Game.” November 11 was a big day for Broken Bow without the addition of that date being the Anniversary of the Armistice. It was the annual Broken Bow-Anslev Grid Iron Clash. The boys were in the best of condition and would have easily won the day had they had the experience and number of years playing together as did Anslev’s team. With the exception of one or two fumbles Broken Bow outplayed her opponents in every factor of the game. The recovery of a Broken Bow fumble by Rhodes and a long end run by him gave Anslev 14 to Broken Bow’s 7 points made bv Scott from a recovery of an on-side punt. The game was probably the best clash of the season as far as swiftness, refereeing and fairness was concerned. November 18, Broken Bow traveled to Alliance on the cushions in order that they might demonstrate their football strategy to the northerners. A four inch snow and lack of proper officials created circumstances which inflicted another defeat for Broken Bow. The score 12 to 7 Alliance was and will always be disputed by Broken Bow from the fact that observers and members of the Alliance team admitted that Captain Scott carried the ball across the goal line for a touchdown but because of the shortness of necessary officials the outcome was as above stated. Turkey day welcomed Ravenna to partake of a defeat which ended the season for Broken Bow. The game was on the order of a baseball game, hit and run. However, Ravenna displayed some football well worthy of Broken Bow’s observance. All the regulars bad a taste of this final clash, each man being in the best possible trim as the score 46 to 0 revealed. The season’s success was accomplished by the squad’s punctual practice, attendance, the ever-readiness of Mr. Petrie to help the second squad in practice with bis full capacity of football experience and above all, our Coach Harold F. Carr who with his experience, plans and systems of training and coaching put before the squad with such force and clearness, created in the minds of the individuals wishing to make good in football a spirit and fight that not only made this year a success but will help them in future years. With the loss of only four men out of this year’s first squad, the prospects for next season are very encouraging. Twenty men were awarded letters for having played in the required number of games. Here’s to the Red! Here’s to the White! Here’s to the Football squad of next year; May they be as successful as we have been. L. B. '22. Page 45 BASK KTHALL Albert J. Seeley, ('Hitt tin Harold F.

A squad of eighteen men was named to appear on the Basket Ball floor each scheduled night of practice. With only one letter man hack the competition for places on a first team were so evenly divided among ten or twelve men that two teams were used in part of every game during the first half of the season. After this a first team with three to four substitutes played in the remaining games. As to the results of the season it is well to mention that Broken Bow played teams who were in superior and inferior classes at the State Tournament, hut with whom she had played on an equality during the season. The defeats received from Ansley, Ord and Ravenna were in no ways easily won victories for those towns, hut were games won hv men having had one to three years experience in the art and science of Basket Ball, compared with Broken Bow’s team with a one year experienced men. The victories of the season were won only by the clean and manly sportsmanship that Broken Bow High School represents and upholds at all times. Prospects for next year are favorable to as much a successful year as the past, based on the fact that Captain Seeley will he the only loss from the squad.

Koskberry Lewis Brown Pape 48 GIRLS’ ATHLETICS AFTER a serious illness of one year’s duration, girls’ basketball has revived and is doing splendidly. The first inter-class game was between the Freshmen and Juniors, the Freshmen carrying the game by 19 to 5. The next game, the Seniors beat the Sophomores 14 to 6, leaving the finals between the Freshmen and Seniors. The date for the big game was February 16 and ONLY the girls playing knew of this game. We wish, now, to announce that it was a hotly contested game and the Seniors won by a margin of 11 to 3. We have very fine prospects for track this year as we have several new members from the Freshman Class. W. K. '22. Pa e 49 TRACK WITH the added attractions of the Pentathlon and the numeral system track season opened with a large squad of prospective point winners out. Of the three letter men to start the season, Beal was elected Captain and the training grind started for the county and district meets. At the time of this write-up no forecasts can he made as to the team, hut Beal, Brown, Bomberger, Penn and Joiner are showing up well for the sprints; Beck, F orsyth and Nightengale for the distance; Brown and I)eitz for weights; and Jackson, Reneau and l)eitz for the jumps. The interclass meet is to be held soon and the Juniors will probably take the berries, hut not without strong competition from Manscl Givens and the other classes. The whole squad is working hard and from all indications some more cups will find a final resting place on the assembly shelf. A. J. S. Page 50 GIRLS’ TRACK THE girls’ track team is by far superior to the boys' although the boys and their coach do not think so. Reviewing last year I refer you to the meet at Mason, the girls surely “brought home the bacon” in several various articles to eat and wear. At the county meet our team put many of the rest on the “blink”. This year we have nearly all of last year’s team with us, so look out hoys! Our coach is Miss Ethel Booknau and she is very enthusiastic for us. The inter class meet will he held about the last week of April. Next comes the county meet which will he held some time during the first of May. If things go as we expect we will leave the hoys so far behind that they will remind one of the race between the E’ord and Wally Reid’s Stutz. Do not get the impression that we do not mean to yell for the hoys. TVe do!!! There never was a hunch of girls that ever yelled any harder than we. We just want to let you know that we are in the race also and that we intend to wiiras many if not more honors as the “stronger” sex. Another thing the prizes are a hunch of pins, this alone would cause the girls to work even if they did not want to win as many things as do the hoys. So here’s to the athletes, both young and old We are large and small, brave and hold. We never worry, hut are sure of a cup And our banner’s always held high up. We never fuss, we never fight, But we play with all our might So never worry, never fear We’ll hold our honor another year. Page 51 B R0 E A’ B 0 ' JUST LIKE A WHIRLWIND Just like a whirlwind We'll beat them the whole game through Fighting and scoring, as we have been taught to do. Proving that .... a tip should take Playing with our team is some great mistake. And sinee we can liek them They need never wager more. They found that our team Can make overwhelming score With pride you would grow tipsy Like any other team would do No more need I say, we will win this game Right straight from you. ATHLETIC SONG I Go tell poor.................. Go tell poor.................. Go tell poor.................. Her chances have all fled. II The game that she’s been hoping The game that she’s been hoping The game that she’s been hoping Will put her at the head. III Oh, I’m so happy Oh, I’m so happy Oh, I’in so happy The team will win the game. IV Broken Bow is certain Broken Bow is certain Broken Bow is certain The game will give her fame. Page 52 “SENIOR SNEAK PARTY ON Thursday, March 16, we the Senior Class of Broken Bow High School decided that school life was too strenuous for us and that we needed a rest. We took this much-needed rest in the form of a Sneak Party. The Class met at the Depot at S):30 on the appointed morning with weiners, sandwiches, marshmallows and all the other accountrements for a good holiday. About 10:00 enough ears were secured so some of us wouldn’t have to walk, and off we went! Of course, our way took us past the High School where we made as much noise as the Carnival, to detract the devoted students’ attention from their studies. Our first stop was at Merna, where we spied around the town, so we would know what it looked like in case we could not go there again. From Merna we went to New Helena. The most of us were in that town spying around when we suddenly thought of some more of us which were not there. It happened that the last car had had a blow-out so one of our ears had to go back after it. After arriving at New Helena we went to the usual camping ground, but the gentleman gently but firmly informed us that we were to seek elsewhere for shelter that day. Therefore we wended our wary way back to the sehoolhouse. We camped in the road, off to one side. Some of us played baseball to while away the time. And after our lunch, one of our number A. J. S. by name enlightened the school children about how they were to behave, etc.........about like he had done in his High School days. We never knew until then that he was such an orator though the American History class knows he is a debater. We stayed in New Helena until about 3:30 or 4:00. Then we went to Anselmo. But here we raised more excitement than we did at Merna. Some of the bunch took in the town, especially the drug store. It was a wonder that these places of business were not entirely relieved of their store of “All-day-suckers” for we certainly did eat them! A few of the kids took a ride in the bus and according to reports bad SOME sigbt-seeing tour. Oh, yes, when we first arrived we went to the High School. We got in the building just about closing time. We went to one room, I think it must have been the highest grades of the High School. Anyhow they were studying Medieval and Modern History. I.uciele gave one of her little songs, and Our President gave one of his little speeches, we sang our Broken Bow Song and then went into the other room. Here, we did not have time for much, as the bell rang and school was dismissed. Just as we were leaving the room some of the boys spied the fire escape and a mad rush was made for it. For accidents on the wav down, inquire of I.. B., K. M., II. B. We bad our supper in Anselmo. That is, we allayed a little of our hunger while there. I certainly would like to enquire the age of that beef, whose steaks furnished our supper. After supper we sat around in the cars, and did divers things until w’e were informed that it was time for us to go home. On the way home I can say very little. I mean, I can tell more than I want to. The car I rode home in came in at about forty. . . .miles an hour. One of Page 53 tile cars must have had no rich people in it, at least they ran out of gas when they were between Anselmo and Merna. Ve arrived in Broken Bow, at different times. And I ean tell you, we were mighty glad to see civilization again. The next day at school we were told what punishment we were to receive for taking this said holiday. It was not so had as we thought and we all are living through it, and thanking our lucky stars it was not worse. CARNIVAL OF THE BROKEN BOW IIKill SCHOOL Hot Dog!—Hotter Pie! I HAT'S what met our eyes early one morning on the bill board. This exceptionally good Hot Dog and Hotter Pie was to be had at the High School Carnival given on Saturday Evening, February 18, 1922. By six-thirty on the eventful day, squawkers, balloons, confetti, waterguns and such like were in prominence. Streams of people were going to the circus, taking m the side shows and rushing the maids at the eat counters. We hardly knew our friends with their “girlie caps”, and “screwy” mustaches. Delicious little squeals could be heard all over the building when some naughty boy shot water on some starchy little girl. Getting tired of these frivolous affairs the crowd waded through the confetti to the assembly-hall where the following program was given: 1. THE KITCHEN OF 1950 .........S. H. Gnu 2. SELECTIONS -------- - High School Orchestry 3. GRAND OPERY ----- - - - Rigoi.ktto Quartette 4. MIRACLE MAN -.............- Newell Joyner Co. 5. SELECTIONS - --------- Boys' Glee Club � .

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY’ {Continued from page 25) Although we had many social events the one that stands out most prominently was the “Kid” party given by the Seniors to the other classes. A program was enjoyed and each one entertained himself by playing with dolls or eating stick candy. After the games, ice-cream cones were served. In April we showed the Sophomores how to debate when our team completely proved to the satisfaction of the judges that “This High School Should Adopt the Point System in Student Activities.” We worked hard during our Freshman year and at the close of the spring term we began to look forward to the next fall when we should continue our career as Sophomores. Chapter II In September, 1920, the class congregated and elected officers. This time we elected Lome Beck for President, Lewis Myers for Vice-President, and Lioan Everett for secretary and treasurer. This year our class colors were chosen. They were rose and white. The flower was the American Beauty Rose. In the way of a change a man was chosen for our sponsor, he being “Steve” Govin. After a long and strenuous battle with the Freshmen we came out victorious in the inter-class basket ball games in January. Numerous good times were partieipated in by the class during the year. But the ones most enjoyed were the Truck ride and the Hard Time Party. As spring approached well-laid plans for the future were outlined and with the addition of new forces we should make history that would continue to be interesting. BOOK II—MODERN HISTORY Chapter I The Junior Class took its place in the assembly on the east side of the room next to the Seniors, as usual. We held a class meeting, elected officers and organized ourselves. Our class president for this year is Swiss Betts. Our Vice-President, Ralph Jackson; our secretary and treasurer, Helen Hopkins. Again we looked over the faculty and at last chose Miss Hinson for sponsor. We decided that the class should have this annual truck ride while a group of juniors gathered at the park. At about seven o’clock we started in a truck and three cars to the country where weiners were roasted to eat with the buns, pickles, marshmallows and pie. Shortly after the opening of the skating rink the Juniors decided to have a skating party. Everyone, even the teachers tried their skill at skating. They did just fine except for a few falls. Later in the evening, cream-puffs and cocoa were served. The Juniors have been well represented in all the activities, Football, Basketball, Debating and Declamatory. Plans are being made for a successful Junior-Senior banquet, but how could it be otherwise with a sponsor like Miss Hinson. Page 63 B R 0 K R N rj r r !

FIXE POINTS IN ENGLISH Mr. Carr had just informed the Pullman agent that he wanted a Pullman berth. “Upper or lower?” asked the agent. “What’s the difference?” asked Mr. Carr. A difference of 50c in this case,” replied the agent. “The lower is higher than the upper. The higher price is for the lower. If you want it lower, you’ll have to go higher. We sell the upper lower than the lower. In other words, the higher is lower. Most people don’t like the upper, although it is lower on account of its being higher. When you occupy an upper you have to get up to go to bed and get down when you get up. You can have the lower if you pay higher. The upper is lower than the. lower because it is higher. If you are willing to go higher, it will be lower.” BUT—Mr. Carr had fainted. George L.—“How did you become such a wonderful orator?” Mildred T.—“I began by addressing envelopes.” M iss R.—Alexander, you are suspended for three days.

Morton Nightingale It'd.............................Ted Dunning Page 67 CUSTER COUNTY TRACK MEET BETWEEN three and four thousand people from all parts of the county were on the fair grounds Wednesday of this week watching and taking part in the annual track and field meet held at that time. It was the biggest event of the kind the schools of Custer county have ever pulled off and well deserved the attention it attracted. There were also many people here from other parts of the state and several of the large dailies had their own correspondents on the grounds. The affair was under the auspices of the Public Service Club of Broken Bow, whose members carefully arranged the local settings. The program was one of exceptional smoothness, all of the events taking place according to schedule and with little or no friction. There were few waits and no accidents of any consequence. The big amphitheatre was filled both forenoon and afternoon, while hundreds of people occupied automobiles and distributed themselves about the fair grounds. In the periods between events, the Broken Bow band entertained the audience with popular selections. Everybody had a good time and none on the grounds were happier than the participants themselves. One athletic girl, who had just stowed away several points to the good, shouted to a friend that she was the happiest kid on the field, and it only needed a glance at her animated face to verify the fact. Two state records were broken in Wednesday’s meet. John Rhodes of Ansley, made a broad jump of 22 ft., 1 inch, which is ten inches over any high school record in Nebraska. Frank Wagner, of Comstock, broke the discus throw record by five feet, Wagner’s throw being 106 ft., 10 inches. An exhibition event that attracted much attention was a low hurdle run made by Frank Loomis, coach at Hastings college. Mr. I.oomis is the fastest hurdler in the world and won the world’s championship in the Olympic games held at Stockholm, Sweden. His exhibition run here was for 120 yards and he did it in 13 1-10 seconds. Ansley won first place in Class A, and it has Rhodes to thank for its victory. This wonder boy had nine firsts to his credit and it was due to bis efforts alone that his team found a place on easy street. He is a marvelous all around athlete and scored the most individual points ever made in the history of the county. Broken Bow came second in this class and Sargent third, followed respectively by Callaway and Mason City. Mention should also he made of the wonderful long distance run made by Morton Nightingale, of Broken Bow. There seemed to be no limit to his power of endurance. The standing of the various towns will follow in regular order. The track events were among the features of the day and called forth the wildest enthusiasm. The referee and starter was Henry F. Schulte, track coach of the University of Nebraska, and he was on the job every minute of the time. The relays were the prime favorites of them all and the most exciting. The girls’ events were all pulled off without a wobble and they deservedly shared honors with the boys. Some of the girls made fine records and their names appear elsewhere in these columns. There are gold, silver and bronze medals for the individual winners and loving cups for the winning towns and relay teams. t kiss Si Relay Race— Ansley 1st. Broken Bow, 2nd. Callaway, 3rd.
