W 5 XIX K , D. Wangsness, Treasurerg R. Elsbernd, President F. Bucheit, Secretary, S. Sluka, Vice-President The Senior Class of 1951 found its origin in the fall of l9U,7. At this time a large class of 25 members first made its bid for recognition as freshmen of Calmar High. After the semester we lost Robert Eppens. By the completion of the year we had lost another member, Norma Taylor, while we gained Darlyne Nesvik. As we journeyed along, the fall of l9h8 found us returning to C. H. S. as knowledge seeking sophomores. We regretted the loss of three members, Madonna Beckman, Joan Barr, and Darlyne Nesvik. September of l9h9 found us,now juniors, back again at Calmar with the pros- pect of being proud seniors the following year. We increased our enrollment by eight, namely, Robert Eppens, Roger Elsbernd, Robert Harold, John Hruska, Jo Ann Etteldorf, Lillian Lensing, Helen Buchheit, and Dorothy Snyder. The beginning of the second semester found our class membership increased to 29 by the coming of Mildred Lunde. At last, in the autumn of 1950, our hopes were reached. We had finally be- come seniors, but before we realized it, the year came to an end with each of us exhibiting a diploma. Yes, four long years in retrospect seem to have been short --the astounding change from freshman to senior year. Let us look back and see two of the highlights of our high school life, namely . . .

And whom should we meet the very first day but our old friend, John Hruska, sweeping streets to keep up the broom trade. We had a nice chat with him and he in- sisted on being our guide during our stay. He knew the streets by heart, so what could we lose? He took us to lunch at an impressive looking place called HDine with Falth,H and as we entered, here came nSlimH Rothmeyer, all decked out in an ex ensi e l ki f p v oo ng uni orm. It was slightly wrinkled,but he was happy anyway. He led us to our table, and while waiting for our order we turned our atten- tion to the nickelodian. John went over to put in some nickels and soon the room was filled with the sweet music of nDaveH and his Music Masters, Dave's old clarinet tooting away like mad. CMr. Krueger must have influenced our farmer boy after all.l The next thing we knew, a familiar voice sounded from nowhere. fwe found out later it was the nickelodian.J Shera1d's deep bari- tone was rolling out on the strains of HI Cover the Waterfront.n Really, Sherald?! The lunch was so delicious we had to find the proprietor Uacongratulate him. And who was he but Eddie Andersen in person. But his person wasn't in any plush-lined office at the momentg ln fact we found him in the kitchen washing dishes. Now, how in the world did he get there? Since we were to spend the afternoon sightseeing, John suggested we get a car, so we went to the nearest garage. It was owned by that genius with cars, Bob Hmake 'em or break 'emu Eppens. Seems he got the business when an agent discovered his top notch '36. We got the car and set out for a museum. As we strolled through the halls we noticed a beautiful something standing near a showcase. We thought it was a Greek goddess until we got closer, then we saw that it was Nancy. She was studying the remains of ancient dogs, trying to discover how her Butch was put together. Down the hall was a group of paintings that caught our eye. There the works of those greatg Roger A. and Lillian were taking their place among the Rembrandts, Michelangelos, and Disneys. A fashion show in a department store was our next stop, and there we found that brown-eyed country gal, Helen Buchheit, directing the clothing department. She was fluttering around with last minute preparations for the show, so we went on in to get seats. As we looked around, we spied Mary Lou sitting there with a rather sad expression on her face. It was the clothes that made her feel that way, she said. They were all so pretty, and though her WAVES' uniform was attractive, it surely did get monotonous sometimes. As our attention was drawn to the stage, we noticed Darryl sitting way up in the front row. why would he be at a fashion show? well, the curtain went up and it wasn't long before the famous model, Mary Jo, showed up in a bewitching gown. No wonder Darryl had his eyes glued to the stage. Later it was discovered that modeling was just a s1deline,for Mary Jo was spending a lot of time learning to guide a plow. There was just time tocatch the football game after we left the depart- ment store, so we went to see Ron's NRoughnecks' play Notre Dame. It was an exciting game with Ron's team in the lemdlfll the way. Suddenly one of the f, s f. .w I, .L ,. ,. f . , , Q-.af ,gk . , 1 Q ,ga ' 1 X f.'IFfk' -f' , , +, . Q x , v . M -, 5-. -Us Y 1 P I!!

Schneberger, Vice-President Upon entering Calmar High School, our class of Zh was as Hgreenn as all freshies are. But with the passing of time and the brutal initiation we received from the sophomores we began to see the light. After this memorable event, we were given the privilege of sponsoring the Valentine party. As we returned in l9h9, we found our enrollment had been raised by the com- ing of Charles Klimesh, Larry Harold, and Darlyne Nesvik. Now as nsophisticatedu sophomores we had the privilege of initiating the freshmen at our Initiation party. The fall of 1950 found all of us, except Audrey Vick and Darlyne Nesvik, returning to C. H. S. Also a few new members were added to our class, namely, Le Roy Schneberger, Gerald Elsbernd, Norma Jean Bushman, Rosemary Rothmeyer, Arlene Wenthold, Evelyn Darling, Leosa Lutkenhaus, and Antoinette Buchheit. We gave an exhibition of our talents by presenting our class play, nQu1t Your Kid- d1ng.n The seniors were given a fitting send-off when we sponsored the Junior- Senior banquet in their honor.

We lost three e members, Anna Mae Balik, Anne Marie Stupka, and Adrian Kautman, while we gained Jim Morris. During the year two classmates dropped out, namely, Ronald Thompson and Howard Holton. In October we gained revenge through sponsoring the Initiation party, which h I8 ear we look forward to being was a success.

We were informed that we were freshmen and would soon have to endure the tortures of initiation. After this ordeal we were full fledged members of this stalwart institution.

The band, consisting of 36 members, played for the homecoming activities, gave its first Christmas concert, played for numerous bas- ketball games and gave its lOth Annual Spring Concert. Six groups and four solos participated in the music contest at Charles City while the band went to Sumner, Iowa.

The running of Ronald M., Bob H., Carol R., and Ronald Au the passing of Floyd B., the blocking of Joe S., Bob E., and Sherald S., the defensive work of Darryl W. and Roger A., the pass receiving of Roger E. and Russell H., and the all-around spirit of the team will always be remembered by the fans of Calmar. The Calmar Commercial Club gave a banquet in honor of the football club on December 6, 1950. Wally Fromhart, head football coach of Loras and guest speak- er, was unable to attend because of weather conditions. The seniors of the 1950 Football Squad presented Mr. Murphy with a gold watch at this banquet. ROMECOMING The homecoming festivities started on the night of October 26 with a snake- dance, which ended at the rear of the school. This was followed immediately by a pep rally, at which all the football players expressed their wishes for the coming day and the pep band accompanied the fans in the school songs. The next day was a beautiful October day, and the activities began early. There were last minute touches on floats, preparation of the playing field, and review of game strategy on the part of the coach and team. The homecoming parade started at one o'clock and after proceeding through the main street and up High- way Zh, lt turned off and ended on the football field. The day was hot, and the team spent forty-eight grueling minutes in the game, but it was well worth their efforts. By winning this game against Jesup, they not only won their homecoming game, 25-13, but also the championship of the Cornhuskers' Conference.
