This Broken Bow annual, THE WARRIOR, comes off the press in a year of national and international crisis—in many respects a year of tragedy; but nevertheless, a year of great responsibility and opportunity. The annual—a memory book—is truly a tradition. In itself it is a small thing, but it typifies and perpetuates a greater thing—public education in a Democracy. In its way it becomes one of the innumerable things that you and other Americans have fought for and died to preserve. It is a bit of the American Way of Living and as such takes on an importance far out of proportion to the magnitude of the book as a project. In this, the 1942 WARRIOR, we pledge to our fighting alumni —that we will in turn take our place; —that we too will carry on; — that we too will, if necessary, make the supreme sacrifice; —that we in our time will guarantee to future classes in Broken Bow High School the rights and priviliges of education in a Democracy; of the American Way of Living; yes, of publishing an annual. We have received; we are ready to give. ( lass of l()4 H. A. SCHROEDER Superintendent H. V. TAYLOR Principal H. A. SCHROEDER A. B., Wayne State Teachers' College M A U.olN.

The band was honored by being picked to play at the Nebraska-Kansas football game at the Lincoln stadium and the round trip was made in the high school bus. The band played at all the home football games and at Arcadia. They also played at the home basketball games, including the county tournament. Two concerts, presented in the high school auditorium for the entertainment of the public, were well attended and a concert was also presented for the students participating in the rural county music contest. They plan to attend the county festival at Mason City in the spring and to compete in the district contest at Burv ell on April 18th. These are the highlights of the activities of the band during the school term. The purpose of orchestra is to teach students the fundamentals of playing stringed instruments. It is composed of reed instruments and horns, which carry the solos, and the stringed instruments, which form the basis of the solos. The first public appearance of the orchestra occurred at a general convocation in the high school auditorium. The orchestra furnished the music for several of the high school plays. They plan to present several more concerts for the high school, to attend the county festival at Mason City, and to compete in the district contest at Burv ell. At the district music contest last spring, our band and orchestra each received an Excellent rating. ORCHESTRA EACK ROW: Jane McCleery.

The Indians started on the warpath Sept. 19. when they journeyed to the Arcadia camp They came away victorious with a score of 12-0 after having played their opponent off their feet during the entire game The next week they met Sargent and again copped the victory crown, 18-14. The Indians again controlled the play nearly all the time. However on the opening play, Sargent scored cn a fumbled kickoff, and later on a long pass. At the first home game, the Scalpers were primed for Ord. They opened with a ferocious offensive, sweeping Ord off their feet. The opponents rallied on their own goal line. held, and later took over to win. Against Ravenna, the Indians were determined to redeem themselves and started a smashing attack scoring two touchdowns in the first five minutes of the game. Ravenna recovered and held down the scoring for the rest of the game. In the second home game the Indians met St. Paul. In a hard fought and grim battle, the Indians led their opponents into the closing moments of the game, but St. Paul finally pushed across to nose them out. Against Callaway the Indians assumed commend early in the game end led all the way Coach Johnson used every man on the bench and it seemed that nearly every back had a chance to score. The Redskins traveled to Loup City next, with intentions of packing away another victory It looked bad when Loup City drove through them for the first score, but the Indians soon showed the upper hand, winning 21-7. Upon meeting the powerful and flashy Gothenburg Swedes, the Tribesmen outyarded and outdowned them, but came out on the short end of the score. Gothenburg scored on long runs and passes. On Thanksgiving Day the Indians galloped onto the field for the traditional game with Ansley After battling back and forth in a deadlock for nearly two quarters, the break came when Ansley started to punt out from near their own goal line Bob Evans broke through and blocked the low kick, and Don Foglesong recovered it and ran across for the score. Both teams threatened during the game, but this was the only score to materialize.

Although the members of the team were lacking in height they made up for it in speed and fight. After losing the first game of the season the team saw they were going to have to change their tactics from slow, deliberate ball to a fast, quick-breaking game. The result of this change was shown as the team won their next two games. This gave the Indians hopes of going through the rest of the season without a defeat—hopes which were destroyed when two free shots in the closing seconds of the Sargent game were missed and Sargent won 20 to 19. The Indians started another winning streak by edging out Arnold in a close game in which Arnold made six points in the last two minutes, but failed to make the basket that would have tied the score. The Broken Bow-Ansley game was somewhat similar but it was the Indians that came from behind. It was in the last thirty seconds that Cledis Prescott shot his only basket of the game to win the game for Broken Bov 20 to 18. In the next two games the Broken Bow team thought football had returned as both games were very rough, almost free-for-alls. They won from Gothenburg and lost to St. Paul. The Indians continued their losing streak by losing to a good team at Burwell and a better team from Ord. The game at Burwell was rather rough and fast but the team came out on the short end of the score. The game at Ord was quite different. The highly-favored Ord team never led more than five points. It looked as though the Indians might win when they tied the score in the last few minutes, but the final score was 32 to 28 in favor of Ord. The loss to Ord ended the losing streak and the Indians downed Ravenna, Arcadia and Mason City. The last two games were rough and tumble and it was only by the Indians' scrap that they won. Broken Bow was expected by every one to win the county tournament. It seemed that they would when they defeated Callaway 28 to 10, but they lost to Sargent in the semi-finals. The season ended v ith the district tournament at Ord. The Indians drew a bye in the first game and lost to St. Paul in the semi-finals. Track BACK ROW: Lynn Palmer, Paul Spry. Charles Drake, Gifford Ingraham, Den Foglesong, Marvin Booth, Jack Higgins, Coach Johnson, Byron Brong FRONT ROW: Kenneth Simonson, Floyd Deal, Allen Gardner, Clifford Biggerstaff, Walter Neth, Dick Streitwieser, Darrell Wechter, Frank Wanitschke Summary of Track Season As the 1941 track season came to a close. Broken Bow High looked back on a more or less glorious season At the beginning. however, it had looked rather black for the Indians. The boys worked very hard on their events during the season The one weakness seemed to be a lack of sprinters so Coach Johnson immediately set out to develop some. In one of the first meets of the season the boys went to Callaway for the Seven Valleys Meet. They returned with high spirits and several ribbons They lost a dual meet with Ansley by only a few points and went to a Merna Invitational meet. In this meet the Indians placed second, lacking only one-halt a point to win. In the Mid-Six meet at Ord, the lack of sprinters put the Indians cut of the running and they came home with fourth place. It was at this meet, however, that Cledis Prescott set a new half-mile record. The county meet was very close with Broken Bow and Callaway neck-and-neck all the way. Foglesong came close to a county record in the high and low hurdles and Charles Drake tied the county high jump. The lack of sprinters again showed up. however, and Callaway wen the relay and consequently the track meet. Many of the boys went to the State Track Meet but no places were taken, although several of them qualified for the finals. Most of the team was back the next year for the 1942 season and it was with high hopes and determination that the boys pitched into the preliminaries, working hard to perfect their events. Made up mostly of Juniors and Seniors with a few Sophomores, the team barring accidents or ineligibility was expected to have a terrific season. In a triangular meet with Anselmo and Merna, Broken Bov took first, doubling the score of the next leading opponent With a difficult season ahead of them, including the Gothenburg Relays. Loup Valleys Meet. Seven Valleys Meet, the Wrangler’s Meet the County Meet and the State Meet, the Indians are anticipating to have a brilliant season.
