As years come and go, as one generation supplants another, we realize more and more the importance of the great heritage that one generation gives to another. The 1956 edition of the Cardinal is an attempt on the part of the sponsors and staff to picture the activities and personalities of the generation. It is my hope that this book will preserve the memories and efforts of a people trying to gain experiences, know- ledge and culture that will help them better live and serve in a Democratic Society.

The names have not been changed to protect the innocent--there are none! 1944 It was Monday morning; hot and stormy looking inChadron. Eighteen scrubbed and brushed little children were committed on that day to the Chadron Public Schools to begin serving an eight year sentence of hard labor. Those starting out on that fateful day in September of 1944 were: Phyllis Barber, Jerry Beem, Jean Braddock, Ron Brown, Wyoma Brown, Dale Childerston, Mary Lowry, Margaret MacKinlay, Virginia Mattheson, John Miller, Claudette Rook, Shirley Schmechel, Shirley Shaw, Milford Smith, Jim Whetstine, Ron Wiley. Faye Witt and Jim Zeman. 1945 In 1945, Caroline Campbell and Marlene Rasmussen were sent up for the inexcusable crime of stealing know- ledge from our rural area. Dale Childerston, Shirley Schmechel, Shirley Shaw and Phyllis Barber pulled a daring escape and we were without them during our second year. 1946 Their freedom was short-lived, however, as WANTED circulars were sent to local law enforcement agencies. Consequently, Dale Childerston and Shirley Schmechel were back for our third year. Shirley Shaw and Phyllis Barber were still loose; whereabouts unknown. 1947 Even the best of us slip up. Shirley Shaw was no exception. She found herself under lock and key once again in the fourth grade. Rosalie Yoakum was convicted on a petty larceny charge during this year. 1948 In 1948, the jig was up for Phyllis Barber. She was picked up on a 103674 and was sentenced to the horrible fate of spending the next seven years with us in Block 5. 1949 During our sixth year at crushing the rocks of knowledge, we added two new faces to our line up . These were Jolene Cogil and Jim Wertz. 1950 The crime rate is increasing rapidly. This year no less than five people found themselves thrown into our midst. The new inmates to Cell 7 were Marlene Cockle, Bill Finley, Mel Garner, Rita King and Bill Kohler. 1951 We nearly had a riot in Cell 8 encouraged by the arrival of Nancy Moody and also by the fact that this was the last year of our eight year sentence. Another of our cell mates tunneled out this year; none other than Caroline Campbell. Due to our unruly behavior, our parole was not granted and we faced an additional four year sentence. 1952 We were then sent up the river where we met Phyllis Augustine, Barbara Case, Connie and Nick Makris (the Notorious Twins), Gene McGannon, Judy Mershon, Jean Miller, Skip Norman,. DugaId Richardson, Joyce Sager, and Carl Wells. We also found Caroline Campbell. It seems that she, too, had found that Crime doesn't pay. Jim Whetstine, on the contrary, picked this year to force his way out. 1953 Spurred on by their buddy's success, Jerry Beem and Bill Kohler shot their way out. It was rumored that they joined Whetstine out on the coast and became a gang known far and wide as the Terrible Trio. 1954 This year we had one addition and two subtractions (SEE!! we did learn our math!)| Jim Whetstine, a reformed character, gave himself up at the local FBI office and was immediately put in our little dungeon. The two sub- tractions were Judy Mershon and Dale Childerston. 1955 This, our last year, was accentuated by the return of Jerry Beem, Dale Childerston, Bill Kohler and Judy Mershon. Finally, we were called to the Warden's office and our parole case was reviewed. This time we were successful. Now, after serving our 12 years on the inside and supposedly having learned? something, we stand on the outside, supposedly learning? more??

In the center is a plaque from the Omaha World Herald, the certificate of top ten recognition. CHADRON 20, RUSHVILLE 6 The vastly improved Cardinals had things pretty much their own way in thisone. Moving well on the ground and air, the attack featured the bruis- ing running of Fullback John Miller, and Passes of Ron Jones. Defensive play of Den Weaver was outstanding. CHADRON 23, GORDON 13 It was a big nite as the Cards held highly touted Keith Mott to 15 yards and no touchdowns. Speck Brown too played important part in this one as he booted a field goal to put the game on ice. On offense it was Beem Miller, and on defense it was the play of Chuck Cogdill and Don Jones. CHADRON 34. BRIDGEPORT 20 It was a happy Homecoming for the Cards as a crowdpleasing game fea- tured the breakaway running of Beem, and passcatches of endsCrawford Whetstine; on defense it was Craw - ford and Ron Jones. Beem got 3 touchdowns on sprints of 83. 33, 15 yards. CHADRON 46. HAY SPRINGS 0 Touchdowns were high on the menu in tfiis one, with five different play- ers hitting the goal line. High men were Jerry Beem Ed Witte with two apiece. Defensively it was Cogdill and Wheistine as Hay Springs gained a total of 19 yards. Center Dick Chizek was injured in this game and was lost for two games. 'V' r- A' ,n pl. n. f M 1 CHADRON 7, HEMINGFORD 0 Dad’s Night was a rough one for the Cards, as the only touchdownof the game was set up on one first play offense. Jerry Beem scooted 50 yards to the Hemingford 5 to set up the touchdown by John Miller; Don Jones and John Miller were the defensive standouts in thisgameas little offen- sive work sparked. CHADRON 0, BAYARD 0 Our opener at home was a disappoint- ment to home fans, both teams play- ingragged ball, however. John Miller provided the bright spots, doing near- ly all the ground offense. —C' M CHADRON 19, GERING 14 The high spot of the season waswhen our greatly outweighed Cards out- fought and outplayed the Gering Bull- dogs to garner the victory and a top ten rating. It was a team victory, but players who provided special thrills were Bob Crawford and Ronnie and Donnie Jones. THE ARMISTICE DAY BLIZZARD BOWL Chadron 46-Crawford 6 RON JONES ON A KEEPER AGAINST HAY SPRINGS Chadron 46-Hay Springs 0 START OF A BEEM SPECIALTY: TOUCHDOWN Chadron 46-Hay Springs 0 JERRY BEEM, Senior Half- back. The Climax” run- ner. he provided some ter- rific crowd thrills this sea- son with his speed and elu- sive running. He is small 130 lbs., but is one of the most feared and talked a- bout ball players in the con- ference. JOHN MILLER, Senior Full- back. It's hard to say e- nough about John, he is good at any position and works hard. He is a real competitor and an all a- round team man. All-NW Conference 2nd Team. RON JONES, Junior Quarter- back. Ron. in hisfirst var- sity year was the general of our team. He was a fine all around ball player and operated smoothly, while directing the team through this season. ED WITTE. Junior Halfback. Ed was a member of the well balanced backfield. He was hampered at the first of the season by injur- ies. butcame back in time to turn in the running games against Hot Springs and Crawford. DENNY WEAVER, Junior Guard. A fine guard whom we felt should have been All-Conference. Ex- ceptional on defense Star-of-the- Week againstRushville. NW-Con ference 2nd Team. DICK CHIZEK, Junior Center. In his first year on the varsity. Dick showed a lot of fight and was among the top centers around. DONNIE JONES, Junior Guard. Immovable ondefense, a terrific blocker on offense. Easily the best Guard in the conference. All-NW Conference 1st Team. GENE McGANNON, Sr. Tackle In his last year on the team, Mac played good steady ball, he gained recognition for the second year as being one of the best tackles in the conference. All-NW Conference 2nd Team CHUCK COGDILL, Jr. Tackle The biggest man on the team, a very steady, reliable boy, he showed frequent tendencies to- ward being the best tackle on thefield, very fast for his size. All-NW Conference 2nd Team JIM WHETSTINE, Sr. End Shifted from the backfield, Jim turned in some fine games this year. He was good at taking out interference on defense, leaving the ballcarrier to run without blockers. His team play was good and showed up best in the Armistice Day game and against Rushville. BOB CRAWFORD, Jr. End Bob was perhaps the best pass- catcher in this part of the state, he turned in several fine perform ances, one special catch fea- tured the game winning touch- down against Gering. All-NW Conference 1st Team CHADRON 46, CRAWFORD 6 It was a boiling mad Cardinal team that took tne field in a snowstorm Armistice Day. Still smarting from a defeat the week before, our boys racked up 500 yards on off- ense and held the Rams to 34 total yards. It was John Miller.

HOT SPRINGS 14 It was bitter defeat for the boys when an inspired Bison crew struck hard and fast on the ground to gain an early edge in the scoring and con- trolling of the ball most of the game. We had good offense though as we outyarded and out downed our foes, but couldn't cope with their scor- ing. The defensive work of Rich Beem sparkled. JOHN MILLER. Sr. F.B.

Chadron B Rushville Gordon Prep Minatare Hemingford Crawford Hay Springs Prep Hay Springs Rushville Crawford Hemingford Gordon Assumption Shown here is John Miller receiving the trophy for second place in the Northwest Tourney. Our Cardinal Basketball Squad came through a tough schedule this season with a creditable regular season record of 10 wins and nine losses. It was in our Class B District Tourney that we really went to town, swamping Bridgeport 69-38, tramping Kimbell 78-57, and nudging Bayard in the finals 58-49. Our Team is scheduled to take on Valentine, March 2 in a regional play-off todetermine which of the two teams go to the State Tournament. In the Northwest Tournament we beat Hemingford and Gordon to enter the finals, which were an All-Chadron affair featuring the Cardinals and Chadron Prep. We dropped that game but we were still a surprise second place as we entered the tournament as the fourth seeded team. We are very pleased with the entire performance of our Cardinal squad and feel that a tribute should be paid to Coach Verne Lewellen. Hats off to a fine team and a swell coach. e (tiub C CLUB--The organization that helps promote sportsmanship throughout the school.

There are the Pep Rallies and the Football Games--the Frantic last minute wins in Basketball--the Good Timesand Laughs in Study Hall--the Firecrackers in Lockers--HomecomingCoronation--C Club Initiation--FFA Contest-- Hookey Players--King and Queen at the Prom--Band and Chorus Christmas Concert--Last minute deadlines for the Annual--County Government Elections--the Seniors in their White Caps and Gowns for baccalaureate and the nostalgic happiness of graduation. These are but a few of the fond memories of Chadron High this year. Memories that we seniors will carry with us always as we set out on our own. either to college, to jobs, or married life. We hope this annual has brought these recollections back to you. and although these moments are gone forever they shall never be forgotten. Marlene Rasmussen Editor
