Fifty-seven Freshmen entered Central City High School on August 28 to begin their high school career. They saw many strange faces laughing at them as they wandered through the halls wondering where to go next. At their first meeting they found that Mr. Moran was their sponsor. They elected Elaine lanky as their President, Pat Larson as Vice President, Lynn Tooley as Secretary, and Jean Ross as Treasurer. Ten Freshmen were able to attend the National Honor Society Banquet this year. Two of them were on the Honor Roll and eight on the Honorable Mention for the semester. l The Freshmen were very active in extra-eurric- ular activities. In an F. F. A. Creed Speaking Con- test, Sammy Clayton was the winner and Larry Kyes was the runner up. 611155 Elaine lanky Pat Larson Lynn Tooley Jean Ross The Freshmen also had a basketball team of their own. In a tournament held here they were the winners and they did a fine job in the other games they played during the year. Many of the Freshmen girls belonged to Freshmen Girls' Glee. Other activities they participated in were Y-Teens and G. A. A. 'They also sponsored a dance after the Aurora basketball game on December 20. They ended their year of being Lowly Freshmen with a class picnic. First row: Mr. Moran. S. Sowl. 8.1 Wymer, S. Ueckert, L. Tucker, C. Peterson. J. Ross, F. Luschei, L. Stragey. Second row: K.

The Junior Class started their year by electing as their officers, David Ferris, President; Charles Burg, Vice President; Wilda Jaeger, Secretary; and Jean Roumpf.Treasurer. Their sponsors were Miss Widman and Mr. Niel. The class of fifty-two members was prominent in extra-curricular activities as well as scholastic ability. The roll callyof all school activities and organizations showed Juniors present, and the semester honor roll showed ten Juniors tying the Seniors and Freshmen in number of honorees. With the ordering of their class rings in November they began to feel more like upperclassmen. The year's events included their class play, Line of Scrimmage, given on November 23, 1954. A ticket selling contest was held between Junior home rooms. Room 36, captained by Joan Rasmussen, won and were treated to a party, by room 34, on January 23, 1955. They also sponsored a dance the final night of the'District Tourament. As spring approached the Juniors were very busy trying to find out about the Senior sneak day and even busier trying to keep their banquet a secret. Committees of Juniors were to be found almost everywhere, one on the lookout 'for Sen- iors, and the others busily planning. A cdmplete sure prise to the Seniors, the banquet was held on May 6, 1955. a -- X MISS WIDMAN L, '. me MARVIN KYES Choir 2,3,4; Men's Glee 1, 2, 8; Boys' Octette 4; Football Manager 4; CC Club 4; Hi-Y 2, 3,4; FFA 1, 2,3,4; Class President 4; Annual Staff 4; Class Play 3; Student Council 3, 4; National Honor Society 3, 4.

Sneak Edy The stats seemed almost as sleepy as we seniors when we treked our way to the High School on the balmy April morning of the first. We were going on this venture with high hopes. and a few hours loss of sleep failed to dim our enthusiasm. With Miss Holmes and Mr. Bede, our sponsors, the adventurous group boarded the two buses for Omaha. - Breakfast had been forgottenvin our rush to reach the bus on time. Few of us were accustomed to getting up at such wee hours of the morning, so by the time we reached tWahoo everyone was wide awake and eager for food. . Next stop was Boys' Town. a spectacular place and we marveled at the expanse and beauty of this wonderful home for homeless boys. Here we visited the trade school, the huge amphitheater, and the chapel, which was indeed an inspiration. Again boarding the buses we were enroute to Omaha. Our first excursion was to the huge Swift Packing Plant. Guides divided us in two groups and the tour began. They explained to us how they process meat from the killing of animals to the chilling of the carcass. Although many of us agreed wewould never eat again, we managed to consume a good-sized meal at the Stockyard Cafeteria. At the Immaculate Kitty Clover Plant we visited spacious executive offices and were shown the entire process of making and packaging potato chips. Strictest sanitation is required so much of our view was i through plate glass. We were much impressed with the speed of the workers. At the end of our visit we were presented with a freshly packaged bag of chips. The World Herald Publishing Company was our next stop. Few of us realized the work involved before the newspaper finally reaches us. Next was a tour of KMTV after which we had about two and a half hours of free time. Some went to shows, others went shopping, while still others roamed around sight-seeing until supper time. For our evening's entertainment we attended the grand and spectacular Ice Capades. This was a first time for many of us and was a genuine thrill we will never forget. A quieter group returned to Central City feeling this had been a thoroughly enjoyable day, in spite of the flat tires which greeted us at the end of our journey.

EARTH EVACUATED T0 PLUTO! TWO MAD CHEMISTRY STUDENTS ANNIHILATE THE WORLD! This outstanding newspaper is owned by the great literary critic, LIZ the whiz KNIPPENBERG. I, EDWARD R. Murrow YOST, was vacationing in China and while observing slimy silk worms, I saw Keith ROUMPF and GARY OLSEN come flying over China's Wall. Two seconds before they had been struggling with an experiment which said to stir gently 1 millileter of nitto-atomic glycerin. Not reading the directions carefully, they used a hydro-electtic generator to agitate two washtubs of the solution. Suddenly they found themselves flying over the Pacific Ocean. They spied PENNY PETERSON furiously rowing in a raft to win the world's championship 100 yard raft dash! They came to a stop in China, tight at my feet. Their dying words were, 'We not only split the atom--we split the earth. ' The last to leave the earth was LOUIE Vespucci SCHOLL. Since he didn't trust the space ship pilot, daring DARLINE JOHN, he was forced to hop to Pluto on his pogo stick. On his way he saw JACKIE PATTERSON who was filing the stars down to 4 points. She didn't approve of the 5-point plan. As he went past the Milky Way, he noticed HERCULES MALM was working as chief milk slinger for the Universal Dairy Corporation which provides milk for the Milky Way. The last blast off to Pluto included several Central City passengers. One was the great artist. JUNIOR Leonardo JOHNSON with his famous painting, THE HISTORIC REMAINS OF CCHS. To his left sat LOUISE HOLTORF knitting her massive Great Dane a pair of baby blue booties. DICK love 'em and leave 'em LARSON was manging the gravitation machine and was distracted by MARCIA BROOM who was sweeping up his misplaced bolts. There was a blinding flash and all in the ship were floating in mid air. So many heads were bumped on the ceiling that Dr. DALE NIELSON and his nurse DELORIS BRONDELL were forced to rearrange their marbles. nAnother passenger was LADONNA HUMISTON who had a great deal of difficulty with chronic spaceophenia which includes rapid rotation of the eye balls and a tabbitlike wiggling of the ears. Uponiarriving at the interplanetary customs office on Pluto, we were inspected by the examiner DENNIS the menace WAGGONER. He found that BOBBY VOLKMAN had smuggled his worm-like boa con- strictor onto Pluto. Next came mass vaccination against Pluto Walking. This was to prevent all new comers from stepping off into space. In charge of this operation was BERYL jab-'em-kwik NELSEN. The scientist who discovered this was none other than ORVAL Oppenheimer NOUZOV- SKY and his assistant BOB Bunsen BURNer. The passengers hailed an atomic Pluto-Cab. Pedalling furiously at the rear was GORDON NELSON. Before leaving, they checked the atomic reactor at a Philipps 666 station. The attendant was PHILLIP fill-er-up ANDERSON. They whizzed on into Plentral City, There KEATON um pah pah WALKER was teaching little Plutoites to play the tuba. RUTH the sleuth ROUBAL was a teacher in Plentral City High. She taught the art of Slothology which is a training for the Pluto Bureau of Investigation. One of her students was DICK Tracy BROWN, alias Tricky Dicky. One dark night he took the long way home. As he passed a uranium geyser, he noticed two beady eyes piercing the darkness. Immediately he knew it was the heart- less murderer, LEROY kill 'em GILLHAM. Dick jumped him with a paralyzing Cobra Hold and drug him onto his Plutocycle. He rushed him to the mortuary to identify several of his victims. They were met by Digger Don Hull, the friendly undertaker, who greeted them with a cheery, You stab 'em, we'll slab 'em. Out back was MARVIN KYES. who was digging graves. His misfortune was due to his rapid growth to the height of '7 feet. This was caused by eating too many Plutonium capsules that contained high voltage radium and a small amount of TNT. Some new signs were being put up along the Pluto turnpike. One read. Famous girl wrestler: SANDRA ACKER as Slim-em-down Sam. Another signwas advertising ROSEMARY Clooney Mc- HARGUE. Hear Rosy's famous yodeling at theiMetroplutonium Opera House. The largest bill- board was erected by PAT GEREN who is owner of the Worstway Stores, a descendant of the earth's Safeway Stores. Nearby were two farms which had Pluto Chillas for sale. In the yard JACK SCRONCE, Chief Chilla Chaser, was chasing Chillas. On the next farm JEROME HEYING was haying hay. The city of Jeffersonville was named for the famous stateswoman LOLA Thomas JEFFERSON who performed the miraculous feat of climbing to the top of a 2000 foot Juniper tree. She couldn't get down so she has made her headquarters on an immense limb. In the city of Jeffersonville was an unusual place of entertainment called MAYMIE'S BOLLING ALLEY. The balls used were small meteorites and the pins were baby shmoos. Nearby was a hot rod race track. Being clocked was BERNIE KARR in his souped-up Pluto jet-mobile. An expert designer of baby dolls for little girls was SUSIE Q. BANNISTER with her famous Susie Q. Dolly. Swinging high over the town was Hardy BARBIE SUCK who performed on an invisible trapeze in the evenings and kept a watchful eye alert during the day for the arrival of the enemy from Neptune. On the third story of a department store was the FREDDY FUNK Fashion Follies. She gained fame after designing the fabulous Pluto pushers. One of the girls modeling was SYLVA GREEN who wore a Roy Plogers shirt and a pair of Gene Plautry pants. Another model was MAXINE HELZER who was in a one piece suit with built-in feet, gloves, and hat. Technician BOYD the brain BURHOOP said that this safety suit would reduce the number of diseases. It has been heard that The is producing a mechanical body to eliminate the shortage of girls. In Pluto politics LUETTA STETTNER and LELA RIBLETT were running for Pluto Catcher. They have trapped a few Plutonian hep cats and a dizzy flea.

Band was represented at the All-State Music Clinic which was held at Beatrice November 18-20. Jean Roumpf played her bassoon in the orchestra; Mary Ram- age played her clarinet, and Joan Gibson her alto clarinet in the band. Sally Donelson performed with other majorettes in a twirling exhibition. Everyone had a wonderful time. We thoroughly enjoyed our day at the District Music Contest in Fullerton. The Marching Band played at football games and did a number of fine skits to music at the half-times. We Went to Lincoln to the State Fair and Band Day and later to Hastings for the annual Melody Round-up. A small pep band put life into pep rallies as well as football and basketball games. We will really miss the Seniors next year, but we will do our best to carry on the tradition of keeping the C.C. H. S. Band one of the finest of high school bands. First row: M. Ramage, C.

They have done a marvelous job helping to set up rules and regulations for students to observe in school. These, in the form of a Student Handbook will come out for the years '55 and '56. The Council has sponsored a dance following two of the games, and its members introduced the speakers at lyceums. All parties and dances are approved by the Student Council. This Council is the channel through which all of us as students can make our wishes and ideas about school problems known by taking them to the individual class repre- sentative. The Student Council is dependent on the students in order to fulfill its purpose. Congratulations to the Student Council for the fine job they have done! Student Council in Action E. Knippenberg, Miss Holden, M. Broom. K. Roumpf, M. Kyes, R. McHargue. National ffowr Society n': The National Honor Society, sponsored by Miss Holden, worked in the concessions stand during the basketball season to raise the funds necessary to carry out the projects of the organization. In January, the mothers of the members served the noon lunch at the Band Clinic. Their program of activities was sparked by the annual event of the NHS year, the National Honor Society Banquet, where the guests, upon arriving, found themselves in a candyland of make-believe. The induction of six new members took place on April 21, when Winifred Funk, Barbara Suck, Sally Sue Donelson, Patty Luschei, Mary Ramage, and Jean Roumpf experienced what it is like to become NHS members. Our best wishes to these new t members! ' Ag 14 . . . 1 : , , . -1 K 'MQ J4J W1 - . . ; , V H ' ' LL-4....A-,..MJ, , . H.. y l; - M WWIAA; ,,,..-.., .L wMj First row: E. Shelton, H. Vanderheiden, T.

With three weeks of practice behind. the Bison began their camp- aign by dropping their first to Gothenburg 13 to O, in a game in which the Centralites seemed to control the pigskin most of the night, but lacked the needed punch. In a Central Ten Conference tilt the Warriors from Fullerton fell as the spirited Bison opened on their new field. Malm mobiled 55 yards to paydirt, in the final period to break a 6 to 6 deadlock, for a Central triumph. Olsen and Scholl shone in the Bison line. Rated eighth in Class B in state the Bison took on Ra'v- enna. Five Bison backs pitch- ed in by scoring as the Bluejays fell easily. The night was full of fine runs by Central backs, the most notable being a 95 yard kickoff return -by McHare gue. Faeh sparked the Bison on defense. The final score read 31 to 0.

Although the Bison threatened several times they failed to cross the goal. The Roosters scored twice, once in the second quar- ter and again in the third. Runs by Peterson and Malm kept the Bison crew in the running till the end, as the boys in green were shutout 14 to 0. Dropped from the ratings this week, the team bopped Albion 39 to 0. Five Bison backs scored six touchdowns, nearly all of them on long jaunts. This made the Bison record in Central Ten Conference play 2 wins and 1 loss. The Bison reserves saw plenty of action, espec- ially in the fourth period, as Coach Bahe played 39 boys. Central made their record 4 wins and 2 defeats by walloping the Amara Huskies 27 to 0 in a Central Ten Conference tilt. This victory cinched second place in the west division of our conference. The Bison were held scoreless in the first period. but they scored in every other quarter. Peterson scored twice in the second period. once on a 45 yard sprint. Kart scored for the Bison in the third, and Malm made it 26 in the fourth quarter. Malm also plunged for two extra points. The Bison showed great defensive power in the line. Malm scored early and Peterson hit paydirt late, and they each added an extra point as the Bison went to their fifth victory in seven starts, against Minden. After trailing at the half '7 to 0 the Whippets came back full of fire in the third period, and marched to a score. The defenses became stronger, but the Bison managed to score once more and they bogged down to hold their lead. The score ended 14 to 7.

After that the Bison never did get rolling and the final score ended with Seward on top by a count of 26 to '7. The Bison next traveled to David City where they dropped their final game of the season. The Scouts scored first. but the Bison came back with Peterson making the touchdown and Malm the extra point to take a half-time margin of 7 to 6. For the second time in a row the old second-half story carried on, as the Scouts took control and scored two more times making their winning margin 20 to '7. 5mm! 3am The Bison reserves under the Assistant Coach, Bill Kennedy, also had a better than average season. The Baby Bison won three out of four games. The team rolled over Fullerton's reserves 13 to O, and split with the Aurora seconds, winning 15 to 0, and losing to them by only 12 to 13. The Abion crew fell 14 to 0. Kennedy had a team consisting mostly of young boys of the Sophomore and Fresh classes. Most of the team's spark was furnished by Ralph Condon, a freshman back, and Ronnie Gillham, a Sophomore, and also a back. Ronnie was the only injury suffered during the Bison football season. He suf- fored a broken collar bone. . - I'wrx. f Ix ; ,,3, 'A-' l x '1 k ul' :5 $-in ,, , . , .
