Whether he is in the first ring or the all-star ring, he has an equal chance with all to enjoy every side show on the Midway. Every year the management releases into the world a galaxy of stars from the all-star ring. All performers aspire toward this honor; at the beginning of the next season their places are taken by the third ring actors undeterred by disappointment and even tragedy which often intervene. It is the staffs sincere hope that when you look through this circus program in days to come, you will think with pleasure of the days you spent in high school, the friends you made there, and the role you i played.

In order to attain this aim, some students strive for high scholarship and pay little attention to other matters. Their sole object seems to be to know everything written in books. Again, others strive to excel in athletics and measure their educational career by letters won for participating in various sports. Still others strive to be versed in many fields so as to have the opportunity to be prepared for any emergency that may appear. But the man who gets ahead is the one who is frank and honest, realizes the importance of leadership, superior workmanship and service, and is willing to do a lot of hard work.

Since being members of the school their minds and characters have been developed by social and classroom contacts. Some of our classmates have become outstanding in the state as well as in our own school. Bruce Duncan, a member of our class for two years, has been a regular member of the honor rolls. He won the County Young Citizenship contest, and was awarded a trip to Omaha to compete in the state contest. The seniors have always taken a prominent part in athletic events. John Imboden has made himself known for his athletic abilities, particularly football and track. We placed eight members on the football team in 1934 and six of these were regulars. Bruce Duncan was the honorary captain of the first basketball team, and Howard Runyan was one of the dependable forwards. During our four years in high school, we have had many good times. As young freshmen, we were led through the first year’s struggles by Wilma Lindley. In this year we greatly enjoyed serving our upperclassmen. Jack Kearney presided over us in our sophomore year, which was spent in ease and study. As president in our junior year, John Kelly did a most complete job. Through his efforts and those of our sponsors, we were able to sponsor a banquet for the seniors. Now, as seniors, we have the pleasure of looking back on the most interesting period of our lives. It is our desire now to show our gratitude to the members of the faculty for their unceasing and most willing cooperation that they have given to us through our four years spent with them.

We elected Paul Brown president, Dick Cook vice president, Bob Koozer secretary, and Richard Dean treasurer. Mr. Kuska and Miss Sagl were the sponsors. Robert Koozer, Harry Purcell, and Lenore Carothers were elected to the Student Council. Realizing that it is desirable to participate in activities, several boys went out for football and made a good showing. Six of them lettered on the second team, and most of these have been playing on the first team the past two years. All seven lettermen of the second basketball team were from this class. In track we had only one letter man, George Sweeney, a high jumper. We were well represented in all music organizations. Ten of our number were attracted to the underclass declamatory contest. Geraldine Watts won second in the humorous division, and third in the upperclass contest. Our scholastic standard was very high. There were some A” and many B” honor students. In the county Academic contest Margaret Thompson, Ralph Hale, Eleanor Wade and Philip Gadd won high places. During our sophomore year, Eleanor Wade was the president, Charles Steele vice president, Julia Mullen secretary, and Paul Brown treasurer. Miss Sagl and Mr. Rice were sponsors. Clifford Alspaugh, Wintford Gardiner, Robert Koozer, Walter Smith, George Sweeney and Jerry Wright lettered on the first football team. In basketball, among the first team lettermen were Paul Brown, Robert Koozer, Fred Uhlman, and Jerry Wright. Jack Sterling and George Sweeney won track letters. As before, we were well represented in music. John Guthery placed second in the boys low voice division at the county contest. Eight entered the declamatory contest; Geraldine Watts won first in dramatic, and Lenore Carothers first in humorous, in both the under and upperclass contests.

More honors were won by the Agriculture boys, who counted some sophomores among their number. As Juniors, we chose John Guthery president, Eleanor Wade vice president, Lenore Carothers secretary and treasurer, and Miss Sagl and Mr. Sterner sponsors. Paul Brown is our Student Council member. According to custom, some of the Junior girls were elected to the Arrows; Lenore Carothers was their cheer leader. When the Student Council awarded the football letters, there were six juniors who received first team awards, and eight who received second team awards. Six of the first basketball team were juniors, as were a number of the second team. We are hoping that several will win letters in track. In the music contest, John Guthery sang a solo, and many others took part in the groups. Eight entered the declamatory contest, and Geraldine Watts won first in both the local and county, again in the dramatic division. With many prospects in a number of fields, it seems likely that we will win more honors before the end of May. Let us, next year, as seniors, strive to attain a higher goal. Let us go on and make such a record that they will not soon forget us. Our high scholastic standard must be maintained, and we must work harder in our extra-curricular activities. Next year must be our banner year; we must excel in everything. May we be able to say, when we have finished our high school careers, that we have excelled, and have attained a greater knowledge of the world through our efforts.—John Guthery, President.

Last year we came from Junior High with grim determination to be the best students of the year. In football many of the boys reported, and several earned second team letters. In basketball again we were well represented. In declamatory work we proved to be strong competition in all divisions. Robert Cummings won the underclassmen humorous division and several others placed second. The band and orchestra were helped tremendously by the presence of the musical freshmen. The successful track season was influenced greatly by the fine work of Clarence Lunde, Harry Wilson and Eddie Williams. Although Clarence (future Glenn Cunningham) was the only one who earned a varsity letter, Harry and Eddie earned points at the track meets. Back Row—Eddie Williams, Belle Porter. Harold Books.

In football, Harry Wilson, famous center, lettered. Harry has an enviable record. He played all of every game. In basketball Harry Bristowe lettered on the first team and Paul Dean on the second. The underclass winners in the declamatory contest were Zetta Zeller, humorous; Leola Schaper, dramatic; and Elise Mosely, oratorical. In the local music contest Leola Schaper, Eula Tessier and Leola Gibson won first place in voice. Leola Gibson and Eula represented Broken Bow in the county contest in Merna. This year has been greatly enjoyed by all the sophomores. May we have just as good a time in the future.—Harry Bristowe.

In basketball, the boys who made second team letters were Zeldon Critchfield, Henry (Bud) Dean, Philip Guthery, and John Blair. Several went out for track in the spring, and a number of girls were members of the Girls’ Athletic Association. Gertrude Greene won second place in the local underclass Declamatory contest. At the beginning of the year there were 86 freshmen enrolled, making it the second largest class in school. A great many of the members were together in Junior High, but there were many, too, who came from other towns. When we entered high school we were two distinct groups, but soon we became acquainted and we hope that we can finish our school days together.—Philip Guthery, President.

Broken 2?mu Because of indecision as to the advisability of having an annual this year, the members of the staff were not chosen until rather late. They were selected from applicants from the student body; the choice was based upon scholarship, ability, reliability, and available time. Each of the nine members had a definite part in publishing the book. Their purpose has been to record the various activities of the high school in as interesting a manner as possible without incurring any great expense. The general supervision has been the work of Miss Inez Dean, to whom must go a great deal of the credit for the annual as it appears. The staff hopes that this book will be a source of pleasure to its readers, and that it will recall many pleasant memories to each one.

The Broken Bow Indian, bi-weekly chronicle of Broken Bow High School, is edited by the Journalism class under the supervision of Miss Sagl. This year the Indian has contained news of all the high school activities of the students. Among other things, the staff sponsored a unique popularity contest which was well received by the student body. They also had, as a regular feature of the paper, a humorous column written in the form of a letter from Ethelbert, the typical freshman, to his parents on the old farm. Sports, news, and humorous articles, as well as editorials, were exceedingly well written and showed the careful work of the Journalism class. Back Row—Eddie Williams. John Kelly, Robert Pelkey.

The Council also endeavors to arouse the ideals of citizenship and scholarship among the students. It consists of five Seniors, four Juniors, three Sophomores, and three Freshmen; each is chosen by the class he represents, and retains his membership until his graduation if he is a member of good standing in his class. The Student Council is under the able direction of Mr. Ogden and during the past year has had supervision over all activities concerning the entire student body. They have awarded all athletic letters and have completely revised the constitution.

Membership is limited to five per cent of the junior class and fifteen per cent of the senior class, and all candidates for membership must rank in the upper one-third of the class. Membership in this society is one of the highest honors that can come to a high school student and the announcement of new members on Honor Day is eagerly awaited by the entire student body. Broken Bow has had the sponsorship of a charter since 1931. After the induction ceremonies for the nine new members last year, a banquet was held and an organization of all Broken Bow members was formed with the idea of holding an annual banquet to renew acquaintances and plan for future induction ceremonies.

Arrows Miss Buena Sinclair has carried on the fine work of Miss Grantham (now Mrs. Emil Benthack) in the supervision of the Arrows, girls’ pep organization. This year the Arrows have taken an especially active part in school activities and kept a great amount of enthusiasm injected into the student body. They have organized cheering at various outdoor and indoor sports; have aroused the students at both indoor and outdoor rallies; and have provided many entertaining programs. They have maintained a fine spirit for the students to follow and have fulfilled all the demands made of them.

The recognition of music as a desirable element in education has effected an increase in the amount of such training offered. All groups shown here compete in the Custer County Music Contest, appear in concerts and present shorter programs during the year. The Special Girls’ Glee Club is composed of not more than twenty-four girls, from the regular chorus classes and the members of the Girls’ Octette, who meet after school. It has made a number of appearances during the year on various occasions. Other organizations in chorus work include the regular Girls’ Glee Clubs, a Boys’ Glee Club, and a mixed chorus, which meet as regularly scheduled classes. The Orchestra is organized to stimulate interest in instrumental music and to give those who play instruments the experience of being a member of such an organization. It has all the instruments of standard symphonic instrumentation except the Bassoon, and we have substituted a Saxophone for that part. The Band in its present form was organized in September of 1934, and met in sections and full rehersals at 7:45 A. M. five days a week. It has grown from 15 pieces to about 35, including several from Junior High, and a good balance of instruments. The music department has also formed two small ensembles to work on Chamber Music—one a group of woodwind instruments, and the other a string ensemble.

There are few restrictions on the membership, and those who are chosen are under the direction of Miss Inez Dean. Besides the people who appear in the picture, the following also were members for the last semester: Betty Thor, Ruth Brock, Helen Knapple, Vae Foote, Wayne Tennant, Max Gould, Walter Smith. It was necessary to make several changes at the beginning of the second semester because of changes in class schedules. Two members have charge of the library each period of the day, and before and after school. They check the books in and out, keep up the records, and take care of any matters concerning the library. Several additions have been made to the library during the past year. New pamphlets have been secured, besides a great many new books of fiction, biography, science, and reference works. The total makes a well-balanced collection which meets the demands of the students most satisfactorily. Page Twenty eight Back Row—Alfred Porter. Alma Woodall, Elsie Whiteman, Wayne Tennant.

(The Dramatic (Ehth The Dramatic Club, which has been under the direction of Miss Lucile Harris during the past year, is an organization of students who are interested in dramatics and wish to show their ability in that line. Throughout the year the members have studied the elements of acting and reciting, and at their club meetings have presented representative dramas of various countries.

Page Thirty AthU'tirs COACH METZ IMBODEN Honorary Captain KUSKA Asst. Coach STERNER Asst. Coach Jfootball The 1934 football season opened with Coach Metz at the helm. Metz, who was former coach at Sumner, Nebraska, was new to us all but it was not long before it seemed he had been here for years. Coach soon became the idol of every man who was out for football. He was assisted by Coach Kuska, who had control of the reserves, and Coach Sterner, who assisted with the first string backs. Nine lettermen—Imboden, Koozer, Alspaugh, Smith, Sweeney, Wright, K. Smith, Ley-master and Gardiner, reported to Coach Metz, and were welded with the inexperienced players to form a football machine worthy of its Co-County Championship award.

The first team was trained by Coach Metz and the second team by Mr. Kuska until he resigned his position to go to Harrison, Nebraska; his place as coach was then taken by Mr. Sterner.
