Board of Education The parents of the students of the Central City Schools and people of the com- munity have such great faith in education that the election of a conscientious and eflicient Board of Education is considered a great issue. Annually, two prominent citizens are elected as members of the Board of Education. They are subject to re-election and some members of the board serve for several years. To the Board of Education we are grateful for the fine building and the supplies that we enjoy. The insight ancl judgment with which they have chosen our teachers, serve to show us how much faith they put in the value of efficient instruction. ln the a secretary. ln the Nlcl-largue well regulated oflice of every executive, one finds His duties are many and greatg his fame is small. office of Superintendent Holmes, we find Eugene as the right-hand man. ln addition to doing the secretarial work, he answers phone calls, carries messages, and takes care of all the wants and troubles of both students and teachers, and does much to keep the high school running smoothly. Although he seldom receives the assurance of it, his ef- forts are much appreciated by students and faculty alike. figs za f' 'fr 1934 Y Kai V lffffa ,V fc'- F' J' , , - . gif xii 664-:ff F6 Lf as 12434 is-if -- .J ' Can you look back on the year just completed and place your finger on any- thing constructive that you have accomp- lished? If not, then you are merely exist- ing instead of living. This life is a compar- atively short span, when one reflects on the water that has already flowed under the bridge of time. Too many of us are living a give me life rather than a giving oneg a life that is not being enriched by giving, but one that is being made empty by get- ting. Most of us have not grasped the funda- mental fact that what we want isn't to be given something but to give. It isn't having everything that can content us. For it is the hands denied the right to give that re- main empty. Emptiness is abhorred both by nature and spirit. It cannot be cured by giftsg only by giving. lt is more blessed to give than to receive, is not a rhetorical sentence. It is the sober truth. I NED GREENSLIT, Principal. Education as we inherited it was de- vised for clerks-either in the holy orders or in the learned professions. Parents sent their young boys to study languages and mathematics. It was a laborious procedure, but the only promising path to scholarship. Few pupils found work for which this schooling was a fitting prelude. An educational system which consists of mental education exclusively, neither acknowledges nor trains more than a frac- tion of human faculties and character. It is largely a survival of times and of absolute circumstances. The cumulative effect of the system is increasingly serious as modern fashions of life replace the. past. The present and future educational system must envisage specific characteristics, talents and futures of our students. It must stress the arts and crafts as well as words and theses. Then it will march in a new direction by sending children into the world not with a certificate of proficiency in un- congenial tasks, but with equipment and aptitudes for improvement of their own tal- ents and interests.

During this period many members of the class have distinguished themselves as individuals or in groups in connection with various school organizations and activities, including the Band, Orchestra, Boys Glee Club, Girls Glee Club, The High School Operetta, Hi-Y, Girl Reserves, Junior Honor Society, Football, and Basketball. 'lihe Junior Class Play, UA Paragraph for Lunch, was directed by Miss Williams and very successfully presented by a fine cast of twelve. The Juniors carried off honors at the High School Carnival by crowning both junior candidates, DeWaii1 Henderson and Grace Elaine lVlarquis, as King and Queen of the Carnival. On April 23, the Juniors entertained ther Seniors at a Modernistic Banquet-Prom. 'lihis was the most outstanding social event of the year. ' .A 52, ZQQHW, life l934 4' 2 'Q f a' . , ' vi..

YZ SOpl'lOIT1OI'CS and Freshmen The freshmen enter high school filled with much interest, attended with uncertainty as to what they should do and how they should do it. To them, high school offers many opportunities for various lines of effort which are furthered and developed in the sopho- more year. While some of the more aggressive freshmen participate in the high school activities, it is the sophomores who find themselves more confident, and therefore more able to take advantage of the training which is available to broaden their abilities in lines other than those found in their academic subjects. Early in September, the two classes met and organized for the year. The sopho- mores elected for their officers the very able and enthusiastic Ruth French as President, the equally peippy Maxine Clayton as Vice-President, the popular Howard Hein as Secretary-Treasurer. The sponsors who were elected were Miss Kukral and Mr. Tuning. Likewise, last but not least, the freshmen with their verdant hues, after due deliber- ation, selected as their class leaders the ever-eflicient Allan Martin as their President, the studious Catherine Schipmann as Vice-President, the capable Bill Thompson as Secretary-Treasurer. The sponsors elected to guide their hesitating steps were Miss Connell and Miss Hazzard. Top RowfMiss Kukral, Maxine Clayton, Ruth French, Howard Hein, Mr. Tuning.

Q X '93 4 5 L aff Freshmen The Central City High School activities, social, athletic, and musical were enthu- siastically participated in by the Freshmen. Vlihe school spirit was always manifestg in fact, it seemed to gather strength as a clear mountain stream, that has its beginning in a few springs and is fed, as it goes along, by many more. So the school spirit of cooperation, mutual helpfulness, and fair play is thoroughly imbued in the freshmen, who will carry it on. vlihe freshmen contributed much talent to the High School Band and Orchestra this year. The members of the band were: lVlarvin Daily-Snare Drum, Wesley Harris- Bass, Albert lessen-Trombone, Pat Sheppard--Cornet, Warren Vvegnerffflarinet. The freshmen were represented in the orchestra by seven members. They were as follows: Zola Cudney+Violin, Weslety Harris-Violin, Anna Watsoii-Violin, Pat Sheppard- Cornet, Warreii WegnerfClarinet, Albert lessene-ilirombone, Nlarvin Daily-Snare Drum. During the middle of March the freshmen held a meeting to vote for the most popular boy and girl in their class. The popular girl and boy from each class would then be candidates for the most popular boy and girl of High School. Pauline Cover and Donald lVlatlic'ws were elected to represent the freshmen.

Head Usher I934 1 Afrffi 4 llljaints and Patchesll The operetta, Paints and Patches, was presented by the Junior High Boys and Girls C-lee Clubs, under the direction of Miss Cornelia Rankin, at the High School Auditorium, November I7, l933. The chorus was assisted by the orchestra under the leadership of Mr. H. P. Stearns. The story begins with a group of young people gathered in the woodland. They are studying art under the patient direction of the Professor. Ting Selah and her devoted Amah visit the art class, supposedly because of their friendship for Roberta but really because there is an old Chinese ring missing, and Amah intends to find it. Tien and Nien, Gipzy girls, also visit the art class. When Susan misses her pocketbook, she suspects Nien, but is baffled when the purse is returned by Tien. However, the ring which was in the purse is missing, and Susan declared 'liien has stolen it. At the same time Miss Perriwinkle, an eccentric village spinster, loses a gold piece. She suspects Ting Selah and believes that Rastus knows more than he cares to tell. Two policemen come to arrest Ting Selah. Tien, a natural artist, begs the Professor to teach her to paint, but the request will be granted only when she returns the ring, of which she knows nothing. The tangled threads are finally straightened. Tien is no longer a Gipsy but the daughter of a famous American artist and has money at her command so :he may study her beloved art. fffizf Y 'ff fs -f ri-if f , 'fd Band Do you know this group? It is the Amalgamated Confederation of Associated Wind- jammers. They represent you and your school. They tell the world just how much pep and enthusiasm you have for your school. It takes a great deal of personal sacrifice in order to thoroughly study the proper playing of a musical instrument. But it is just this sort of thing that builds up a spirit of service for the community in which the individual finds himself a part, Many and unusual privileges come to the members of a first-class organization of this kind. Superintendent Holmes has planned that every boy and girl might have an oppor- tunity to receive the training that such an organization affords. A thoroughly trained director, supplies and rehearsal rooms have been furnished. The Board of Education and the faculty of the schools have endorsed the work. The rapid progress and increased interest in the school band this spring has vindicated their faith in the substantial worth of our young people of Central City. . The band has played for football and basketball games and the Spring Exposition. Their first appearance, in their new uniforms was on April 6, when they opened the program for Band and Orchestra night.

The history of this organization is short. A year ago Mr. Stearns gathered around him a group of fifty ambitious students who were anxious to play a musical instrument. Through guidance and diligent effort, the boys and girls have learned to play their respec- tive instruments well enough to appear in public performances. It might be of interest to know that the majority of the members of this organization are students in grades 5 to 8. This insures a permanent and constantly improving school orchestra. The orchestra took part in the program on Band and Orchestra night, April 6. ilihis group assisted in various other programs and the Operetta. The splendid progress of our orchestra gives us reason to hope for much greater achievements in another year. Music, once admitted to the soul, becomes a sort of spirit, and never dies. It wanders perturbedly through the halls and galleries of the memory, and is often heard again, distinct and living, as when it first displaced the wavelets of the air. 4 Buliver.

A 4 1934 n igga' Girl Reserves The Central City Girl Reserve Club started the year by trebling its membership. The new members were duly initiated at an impressive candle lighting ceremony at River- side Park at which time each girl took up the quest to find better ways of living. Under the guidance of the faculty advisers, Miss Leeka and Miss Connell, the club planned the year's calendar. The activities were outlined in four divisions: Cabinet con- ferences, Ceremonials, Discussions of interesting problems, and Social hours. The recreational hours proved most entertaining and delightful. At the Paris party one-half of the girls, dressed as boys, escorted the rest of the members to a pot luck dinner in the home economics room at the high school. Such noted celebrities as Greta Garbo and Clark Gable attended. After the dinner an amusing program was enjoyed. On February l7, six delegates and the sponsors attended the Girl Reserve District Conference at Grand Island. Miss Leeka conducted a discussion group on membership. February I9 to- Z3 was set aside for Heart Sister Week. Each Girl Reserve drew the name of a member to be her heart sister. The Girls exchanged gifts daily, symbols of their appreciation for their fellow members. Freshmen were admitted to the organization for the first time this year. The officers were: Margaret Young, President, Ruth Gibson, Vice-President, Martha Hollorf, Secretary-Treasurer. - Back RowlThelma Wyman, Mary Gilley, Maxine Gleason, Gladine Culbertson, Revs Gibson, Wilma Lyon, Bera Hunter, Dorothy Scott, jean Travis, Bernice O'Nele, lrene Larson, Marjorie Dredge, Marian Blue, Rachel Hoskins, Alice Watson, Miss Leeka.

Harlan Zamzow proved to be a very efficient and capable president. lVlr. Greenslit and Nlr. Poole were faculty sponsors and under their guidance the club promoted an active program. On account of the spirit displayed by the boys, Central City was chosen by the state secretary as the place for the Central Nebraska Older Boys Conference. This con- ference was held February I7 and I8 and was a source of inspiration and help to all who attended. Mr. L. C. Gberlies of Lincoln was the guest speaker for the occasion. Included as part of the regular program for the year was a Weiner roast and treasure hunt at Riverside Park, at which more than twenty-five couples enjoyed an evening of fun. A box supper held in the gymnasium proved a decided social and financial success. 'lihe club sets aside one Sunday each month to attend one of the local churches in a body. It is the plan of the club to have men of the city speak on various topics of general interest at the regular meetings. Cn such occasions Dr. Ross, Attorney Donald Sampson, and several others have addressed the boys. lihe membership is limited to thirty boys.

The mlqappingn of the newly-elected Seniors was performed by alumni mem- bers. When the new members had taken their places on the stage, the sponsors pre- sented each one with a symbol of membership, a red rose. These members, in turn, tapped the associate Junior members, to whom also were presented roses. On the following day, April 6, l934, at Reeds Cafe, at the first banquet of the society, the Central City High School Chapter was organized with the following officers: President-Mary Heaton, 19295 Vice President-Stanley Torpin, l934g Secre- tary-Gwendolyn Clayton, I93Zg Treasurer-Dale Wilder, l934.

The biggest share of the number remained for practices throughout the entire year. Due to the lack of letter-men from preceding years, Central's team this year was inex- perienced. Under the observation of Coach Buising and Assistant Coach Tuning, the Bison worked and improved steadily. Nineteen men were lettered this year, and football knowledge was increased tremendously throughout the entire squad. The Reserves showed a promising future by playing three games and winning two of them. The first game with Barr Junior High of Grand lsland was lost 7-6. This defeat put determination into Central and the following week they took the Clarks Reserves I2-0. The last game was a return game from Barr Junior l-ligh. The boys were full of fight because of the loss to them earlier in the season. It was a real battle but the Island boys were no match for the determined Central team. Central won 6-0. A great deal will be expected of this Reserve team during the coming year.

Resume of Season Football Friday, September 29, the green clad boys of Central marched bravely on the field to meet Columbus. During the first half, Columbus succeeded in pushing the ball over for a touchdown. Carl fDutchl Schneiderheinz broke his arm above the wrist just as the first half ended. The second half found Central anxious to work on the Discoverers, but in spite of this the Columbus backs showed the Central boys their heels. The game ended with Columbus having Z6 to Central's 6. A determined football team journeyed to Grand Island, October 6, to be handed their second defeat of the season. The first half ended with a nothing to nothing score. The second half found the Third City boys eager for a touchdown which they finally succeeded in pushing over after many unsuccessful attempts. The game ended with Grand Island 6. Central 0. Central showed great improvement in team work against the Tigers from Hastings, but were defeated Z0 to 7. Lear was out of the game until the beginning of the fourth quarter because of a bad shoulder received the week before. After he was put in, the ball was snapped to him for an off tackle play. The line opened a beautiful hole for him. After eluding several would-be taclclers little Pete ran forty yards to score. David City and Central were very evenly matched, and few gains were made through either of the lines. It was in the third quarter that David City on their own 20-yard line was forced to kick. It was blocked by a Central man for a safety. Thus the game ended leaving Central on the big end of a 2-0' score. A great deal of rivalry has arisen between Albion and Central in the past few years. The first half was a very close game and a hard fought one, and at the end of it Central was leading the Albion boys 7 to 6. The second half found Albion with a lot of scoring punch. Both teams worked hard but finally Albion made a touchdown which took a lot of the fight out of the Central boys. The final score was Albion 20, Central 7. Aurora was the big game ofthe season for many of the boys. Because these teams have long, been rivals, the crowd is always assured of a good game. Lear and McClellan starred for Central by their brilliant defense and offense. Peters and Otto for Aurora. The game ended with Aurora carrying home the big end of the score--Aurora 7. Central 0. On November 24 an over-confident team journeyed to Loup City. Our boys just couldn't get together as a team, so the only touchdown made was by Loup City in the second half. The game ended 6-0 Loup City. Fullerton was out for revenge for last yetar's defeat. The game was even the first half,-7 to 7. The second half Fullerton scored two touchdowns but the Central boys kept on fighting until the final whistle. The final score was Fullerton l9, Central 7. This was the last game' for many of the Bison. Basketball Score Board January 3-York, There ...................... January I0-Albion, l-lere ...... January I2--Grand Island, l-lere. ..

Much was expected of him and he came through wonderfully. He was high point man for the team. His position will be hard to fill next year. DEWAIN HENDERSON-Forward Henderson was an all around basket ball player. You could depend on him to play any position to the best of his ability all of the time. He will be back next year. JACK PEASE-Guard His ability to get the ball off the bank- board won him a position on the squad. He has two years left. He is expected to be an outstanding member in his remaining years. LEE CovER-Forward Lee was good. His floor work was some- thing to talk about and his ability to hit the basket was uncanny. He is a senior and will not be back next season. , ERVIN HEssELc.EssER-Center Although one of the youngest members of the team, Hessey showed up great. Hist basket shooting was remarkable. This makeslihim al promiring basketeer for the next two years. Basketball Leller Men RAYMOND DEHART-Center Deak's play was outstanding in so far as. basket shooting and general. defensive work was concerned-never quitting when the going was. tough. Deak will be missed a lot next year. r - . CHARLES PHARES-Guard Phares was a regular guard. He could be depended on to get the ball off the bankboard. His floor work was good and his passing was accurate. He will be a valuable player next season. V HARRY POWELL-Guard Although Bud was a new man on the court he showed up extremely well. A great deal is expected of him this coming season. BILL HUXFORD-Guard Bill was a guard upon whom you could depend when the going was hard. He always gave everything he had. He will be missed a lot next season. TYNDALE DAVIS-Forward Davis was good on the Hoor-work and as for shooting baskets, he seldom missed. He was fast and was always in there to do his best. He will be back next year. affix l 1934 :sez ' fi g' 9' ffm ,,. 1934 , . , WW 4 25 54, lnterclass Basketball Tourney Since this was the first interclass Basket Ball Tournament, a great deal of en- thusiasm was aroused. The captains of the teams were as follows: Martin, Freshmen, Pease, Sophomore, Henderson, Junior, DeHart, Senior. Freshmen were scheduled against the Sophomores, and Juniors against the Seniors. The Freshmen put up a brave battle but lost-22 to 6. The Junior quintet was weakened tremendously in the third quarter when Captain Henderson was eliminated by personal fouls. The next night the finals between the Seniors and Sophomores were played for the championship. The Seniors defeated the Sophomores and were declared the school cham- pions. Members of thechampionship team were Lear, Huxford, Cover, Hoare, Clayton, Foster, Del-lart, and Luce. The Freshmen and Juniors played a consolation game in which the Juniors won I0 to 8 after an extremely exciting game. lnterclass tournaments will be eagerly anticipated next year. Soft Ball Unable to sponsor track this spring, the High School athletic program turned to Soft Ball. Each class sponsored three teams, one major league, one minor league, and one girl's team. During the season each team played every team in its league. At the end, the two leading teams played for the championship. Soft Ball gave an athletic program to approximately one hundred and fifty students. This interesting program created a new atmosphere about the school. It was enjoyed immensely. Tennis This was the first year for tennis in High School. Ir was coached by lVlr. Pool. A high school ladder was planned to declare the school champion. The Riverside courts were secured for the tennis teams. A tennis team was organized of live fellows. They competed with other tennis teams of nearby towns. School Lyfe The following pages will show you some things about our school life that you would not have be- lieved if you had not seen them pictured. A great deal of school spirit was evidenced at the pep rallies both in school and clown town. This resulted in the fine at- tendance at the football games. The band did much to engender enthusiasm both in the rallies and at the football games. All year long we worked and played hardg and the school term was filled 'withi mainyictivities, so that almost every student of C. C. H. S. found some extra-curricular activity with which to broaden his interests. The Mixer The Senior Class sponsored a party at the High School on Sep- tember l5, l933. All High School pupils and faculty were invited with the Freshmen class as honored guests. The guests were met at the door by a committee of Seniors, who tagged each member with some color. Vvhen all the guests had as- sembled in the auditorium, they were entertained by a very clever radio program. It consisted of im- personations of famous radio stars by various pupils of the school. Such famous stars as james Wall- ington. Kate Smith, Zazu Pitts, Joe E.. Brown, Boswell Sisters, Cab Callaway, Mrs. Rubinoff, and Swazer and Dean were imperson- ated. A bed time story for special benefit of the Freshmen concluded the program. After the program the guests passed from the auditorium to the gymnasium where games and con- tests were enjoyed by all. Refresh- ments were served and a good time was reported by all. 2 lg :ii am , fy as .ag J iq 1 A A 'M A Mt? x 'V' .J an 0 I J Quai .fvi ! r 11 2 2,19 .f,?f'S' 4- ' 'A if ijsk. .. 1' 5 ' K v' .ia,,,..' af if: .... 2. z 'TTL ' ...,, if l, l ' , Lf- 1, VF 1 - ...

John H, Hall F High School Carnival On the night of March l6, l934, the High School Carnival was held in the Glatfelter building. The building was colorfully decorated with crepe paper and a spirit of gayety was added by the plentiful use of serpentine, confetti, hats, balloons, and horns. There were numerous booths where one could part with his money-fortune telling, beauty parlor, corn game, dart throwing, wheels of chance, sandwich shop, and others. During the evening a vaudeville pro- gram was presented by school talent. DeWai'n Henderson and Grace Elaine Marquis, who had been voted the most popular students, were crowned King and Queen of the Carnival. Special Assemblies Besides the programs given by various organizations and home rooms of Cen- tral City High School, we enjoyed some special assemblies that were very good. The first of these was a program given by the Utica Jubilee Singers, a negro group, which gave an excellent interpretation of songs of the Old South. Some weeks later, Lancelot Swallow puzzled us with various tricks of magic. With him was a chalk talk artist. Another treat was the concert given by the Mme. Slaviansky Russian Choir. The vigorous Russian music was enhanced by beautiful lights and costumes, so that this will be an event always to be remembered by many of us. The last program was a presentation of scenes from The Merchant of Venice by the Misner Players of Omaha. This drama added a Htting climax to our special as- semblies. junior-Senior Banquet-P rom The Junior-Senior Banquet, as the crowning event of the year, was conducted in a modernistic setting. Silver stars and bright colored futuristic flower designs added a touch of color to the black background. Three archways graced the walls of the room, and in each was seen a futuristic tree with bare limbs and odd shaped colored ornaments. On the west side four pillars divided the stage from the rest of the room. On each of the four pillars was attached an ultra-modern reflecting light. Tables were arranged in two u-shaped figures, the larger encircling the smaller. Black crepe paper covers were adorned with long silver strips down the centers. Black candlesticks holding bright colored candles were placed at intervals along the tables. The Banquet Dinner was served by nineteen Sophomores dressed in black cos- tumes, the girls wearing varicolored aprons of several shapes as triangles, circles, rect- angles, and diamonds. Following the banquet the group en- joyed dancing at Liberty Hall, where the music was furnished by Clarence Craven's Orchestra.

In the Junior play, entering the Central City High School. As the days went by we became more accustomed to high school ways, and be- gan to make great progress. We held a class meeting and elected Gwyneth Weedin, Presidentg Donald Willits, Vice Presidentg Hazel McCollister, Secretary- Treasurerg Miss Hazzard, Sponsorg Miss Long, Co-Sponsor. Our class party held in October was a great success. The next year having risen to the dizzy heights of Sophomores, we wanted to be looked upon as a class of high in- telligence. We elected Bera Hunter, President: George Pierce, Vice-Presi- dntg Martha Montgomery, Secretary- Treasurerg Mr. Tuning, Sponsorg Miss Whitney, Co-sponsor. This year many of our members participated in activities. As Juniors we increased in knowl- edge and fame. We chose Frances Car- raher, Presidentg Lee Cover, Vice-Pres- identg Billie Huxford, Secretaryflqreas- A Lucky Break, we proved our abil- ity as entertainers and won much praise. We entertained the Seniors at a Dutch Banquet in the spring. Seniors at last. All branches of ac- tivities received our enthusiastic support. We elected Stanley Torpin, Presidentg Dorothy Stearns, Vice-President, Martha Montgomery, Secretary-Treasurer: Miss Long and Miss Smith, Sponsors. The party held in honor of the Freshmen was received with enthusiasm by all high school members. Our Senior class play, The Family Up Stairs, and Senior sneak day were other important features of our Senior year. Now it is but a short time until graduation, and we will soon have to say good-bye to dear old Central. Then we will be Freshmen again- Freshmen in Life's School-not knowing where to go nor what to do. May each Senior obtain success in what ever he sets out to do. Class Prophecy In the year of I954, May l, I came home from work weary from a day's toil, and as usual sat idly turning the dial of my radio-set. Suddenly a familiar name caught my ear. l listened for a moment and then realized I was listening to the Hunter and Hunter Crazy Crystal program. The sponsors of this program were none other than my old classmates, Bera and Veo Mae Hunter. Working under them were Thelma Wyman and Dorothy Hall, who toured the country and zealously proclaimed the superb qualities of the Hunter Crazy Water' Crystals. The most able announcer for this program was Thomas Whaley, who announced that the musical entertainment for the next half-hour would be furniihed by the Power Paralyzer orchestra. Ever- ett Power, the director of the orchestra, announced that the guest artist of the evening would be none other than the exotic torch singer, Evelyn Chandler, who made her debut in the Foster Follies of 1935, when she played opposite Dan Fitzgibbon in My Man. For her first song of the evening she sang, Why Did You Leave Me, Dear,'x written by Law- rence Luce, famous songwriter, who is said to have written this song after being deserted by his sweetheart, Phyllis Put- man, who eloped with Albert Harrold. The next program I listened to was quiet talks with Jane, sponsored by mak- ers of Mary Alice Locke beauty pro- ducts. Qn this program Jane Ayres at- tempted to solve the problems of her radio friends. The first letter was from Lee Cover. Dear Miss Ayres: I am deeply in love with my wife, the former Mildred Barnesg but she is too interested in jig-saw puzzles to get my meal? for me. Am I being unfaithful to my wife by finding comfort in a friendship with Hazel Ctagle? Miss Ayres answered this problem by saying, Get the book en- titled, 'Happy-Tho' Marriedf com- piled by Ruth Ross, a noted author on all subjectsf, After hearing these programs I de- cided to tune in on Central City Broad- casting Station, and see if I could get any news about the rest of my old class- mates of l934. I found that the local station announcer was Raymond Del-lart, who won the Merrick county hog-calling contest, thereby procuring a one year contract with the Boelts and Brandes Brewing Company, makers of Burp Beer. Mr. DeHart announced that the program for the next hour would be by Harlan Zamzow, famous news hound of the day. He was assisted by his little wife, the former Ruth Gibson. His items were taken exclusively from the Central City Times. The editor of this paper is Percy Johnston. He is assisted by Flor- ence Kozal and Anna Jensen. The sen- sational news items were as follows: l. Martha Montgomery is running for United States Senator for Nebraska. Her advertising manager is Donald Willits, who says that if the people will elect Martha, she will guarantee all farm- ers a good price for their wheat and hogs. 2. Bessie Rice breaks all records for staying under water. She fell in the other day and hasn't been seen since. 3. Dale Wilder tried to commit suicide by taking fly poison, when he learned that Bernice O'Nele, his fiancee refused to marry him because she wanted to continue her career as a tight rope walker with the Barnum and Baily Circus. 4. Marriage of George Pierce, prominent Central City Doctor, to Vir- ginia Moore. The marriage was per- formed with much pomp and ceremony by Rev. Samuel Clayton, the most elo- quent preacher of the time. , 5. Billie Huxford was acclaimed the world's fastest track man. He ran the hundred yard dash in less than five seconds. 6. It is said that William Watsoxi, Professor of Yale Univerity, is recover- W si,-ff 1934 ing from injuries he received when he ab- sent-mindedly stepped into the elevator shaft at the forty-third floor of the Clay- ton Clothing store. Manager Roger Clayton rushed him to the Emergency Hospital where he is being nursed back to health by Maxine Gleason. 7. Henry Cochran was elected mayor of Central City. He and his wife, the former Neva Kidwiler, reside in a house on l7th Avenue. 8. Charlotte Reeves completed her fourth non-stop flight around the world in her airplane. 9. The sensational picture 'Tm No l..illy,,' starring Keith Hoare as leading man and Helen Jacobson as leading lady, is acclaimed to be the biggest hit of the year. It was held over two weeks at the Gorgen Theater. Manager John Gorgen says it can't be beat. IO. A revolution in the Central City High School was quieted by Jack Pat- terson, State Sheriff, and Eva Smith, Po- lice Matron. After the news items Mr. DeHart announced the programs for the rest of the evening. They were as follows: l. Say It With Flowersn hour, sponsored by the Torpin Florists. Man- ager Stanley ilqorpin and wife, nee Pearl Scott. Program consisted of music fur- nished by string trio composed of Dor- othey Stearns, Alice Watson, and Mar- garet Young. 2. Educational Hour sponsored by. Orval Riggs, Superintendent of Centra City High School, and Rheta Belle, Principal of Central City High School. 3. Johnston and Johnston Fly- Swatter Program by Gerald and Rod- ney Johnston, makers of embroidered fly-swatters. 4. The Scientific Farmers, Hour :ponsored by Phil Severance and his wife, the former Maxine Hagey. 5. Lear Muscle Development Cor- poration guarantees to make you strong in less than sixty days. Pete Lear is as- sisted in his wonderful work by Harry Rice and Leonard Levene. This program consisted of music fur'nished by Charlotte Peters playing the jews-harp, Delbert l l if 'tv I , 1934 4 l Mesner the piccolo, and Dale Christensen the flute. Strange how in one evening at home by my radio I learned what all my class- mates of l934 were doing. Perhaps they would be surprised to learn that I, Frances Carraher, and Hazel McColl- ister have just returned from Africa, where we have been teaching the natives the fine art of climbing cocoanut trees. Senior Class Editor, Frances Carrahcr.

Orval Riggs Story The Slieppard was surprised to capture a Lyon in the Hall, where the Pliares were playing. Daily he went to the Kiser and asked him to Pease help him Loclfe the Lyon in the Garrett. The Sheppard felt that the Kiser was just the Person to help him because the Kiser was really an Abel Person. The first day they tried to Pierce the Lyon in DeHart with a bullet, but failed. The Sheppard felt very Blue, because he had failed in his task. The Kiser told him to cheer up that things didn't look so Blaclf and that they would capture him yet. Each day they fed the Lyon on Rice and Fislilnaclfs. But when they would try to capture the Lyon they found him Wilder' than ever. This was because the Lyon was so Young. The Slieppard was afraid that some Stulvbe Person would Steele the Lyon to make a rug, before they could kill him themselves. The Kiser said Fuehrer not, that will never happen. The next day they came back to the Garrett and they found the Lyon gone. The Kiser felt very bad about this so he told the Sheppard he would call out the Hunters and he knew they would bring the Lyon back. But the Hunters didn't like this job. They were afraid to accept the task for fear the Lyon would Ma1'1' them. They got to talking it over and decided to call out their Dashound to search for the Lyon. The Dasliound ran the Lyon down and caught him. The Sheppard and the Kiser were so Peased over this that they awarded Dasliound with a gold Belle. P T .4 'F 193 4 BROWN : EKBE COM PANY RG T. B.
