S'' c THE CARDINAL STAFF, CHADRON HIGH SCHOOL CHADRON, NEBRASKA PRESENTS THE 1964 WITH DIFFERENT INTERESTS . . . 4 5 . . DIFFERENT ♦ GOALS . . . 6 7 Yes, Chadron High is people--all kinds of people: students, teachers, adminis- trators, cooks, janitors; the people who make our pencils, books, and desks; place and provide materials from bricks to wood and lights; our parents who provide the necessary funds; and the leaders who collect and distribute them. it is the people who have passed through our halls in the past, those who tred them now, and those who will carry on in the future. In every student is found an ability and personality that is a part of the education of living provided by the fellowship and interaction of the high school. Chadron High School is varied ideas, ideals, interests, talents, and goals, all equally important in producing the well-rounded, tolerant individuals, and responsible citizens so needed in our modern society. It is all of these, ultimately united in school spirit and dedica- tion to learning to live and work with other people. DEDICATION To this end, we dedicate the 1964 CARDINAL to all the people of Chadron High School--past, present, and future. juruxrub MARY JANE BEASON CALVIN AUGUSTINE W SENIORS DIANA BETSON FRANCES BILYEU DAVID BAKER LARRY BAUMANN BEVIN BROWN MARLENE BLUNDELL 10 RETA BURK PATTY CASHON SENIORS MARVIN CHASER DANNY CONN ROSEMARY CREAMER ROXANA CAMPBELL CHERLYNN CARNAHAN WENDELL DAMM 11 12 GUY FISH WILLIAM FREEMAN ROBERT GEISTER PHYLLIS HALLSTED CHERYL HAMILTON PHILLIP HARRIS LARRY GOLD JANICE GERE KAY GREGERSEN CAROL HAAG JOHN HEISER KURT JOHNSON 14 GWEN JONES LINDA KENT ROGER NELSON john McDowell JANICE MARSHALL SHARON NEESE 15 JANICE NOBLE JUDITH PEYTON SUZETTA ORRELL LARRY PERCY LAUREL POPPE MICHAEL PASCALE PAM PETERSON 16 MARY LOUISE PINE RODGER PREBLE SHARON REDFERN Worth a thousand words RONALD WILKINSON DE WAYNE WITT JUDY WILCOX EVERETT WOHLERS ELLWYN THOMPSON BRUCE VAN VLEET COLLEEN WILCOX NADINE THOMSEN President.............................Bill Kennedy Vice President.............................Mike Glode Secretary..................................Joyce Rice Treasurer..................................Ronda Bach Jim Ahlvers Diana Anthony Ralph Alfred Rhonda Bach Christina Allen Dean Baker Kay Amick John Barnum Richard Anderson Vicki Belk Lonnie Bonar 2o Beverly Blanford Sherry Brodrick Chetie Cashon Jim Cavender JoAnn Chamberlain Kenny Chicoine John Gatzemeyer Diane Forsythe Barbara Brown Cheri Brown Pam Carlson JUNIORS Ronnie Christensen lr m Terry Christopher 1 c, r lit Paul Crouch Vt: Larry Dau Lorrie Ford iik Allison Hood Robert Hawthorne Vince Hill Danny Hudson Glenn Novotny Jolm Morgan Saundra Nielsen Dayton Lyman Mary McHenry 24 Audrey Pace Donna Parks Tom Pascale Sandra Scofield Susan Siekert Jim Sommers Vicki Thein Victor Thomas Carol Powell Colleen Rapp Doug Raymer Gay Thompson Kenneth Thompson Rich Thompson John Treat Richard Van Natter Penny Regan Joyce Rice Ben Roberts Lila Schumacher AUGUSTINE!” And for my next num- ber,” Gee, I thought Santa Claus was dead.

This education must not only con- sist of scholastic knowledge, but a back- ground based on the abilities to communi- cate and work with others. The high school must provide a background suitable for the student planning to go directly to work as well as the pupil who plans to advance into a college level program. To do this, Chadron High School, offers course from Industrial Arts and Home Economics to Trigonometry, Advanced Mathematics and Foreign Language. Despite this, how- ever, the individual student bears the responsibility of seeing that his or her education is complete enough to go on to whatever goal is desired. As knowledge and the development of our abilities is the basis for our future life and actions, learning stands pre-eminent in importance among the various activities of the high school. BOARD OF EDUCATION JAMES MYERS Principal ADMINISTRATION H.A. SCHROEDER Superintendent of Schools Glen Goodrich Jim Sommers With these people, the Board of Education and the Administration, lies the responsibility for the education of the teen-age youth of Chad- ron. On behalf of the Chadron High School student body, we salute them for their continued interest in our educa- tion and welfare. SECRETARIES MRS. GRAVES B.A. in English, Idaho State College, CSC, Chadron. Instructor of senior and sophomore English MRS. SIM ON TON B.S. in Ed., Wisconsin State College, CSC, Chadron. Instructor of freshman, sophomore, and junior English 48 At Chadron High, four years of English are prerequisite to graduation, although speech may be substituted for one year. The communications teachers have the dif- ficult task of acquainting the many students with our language, both written and spoken. Students begin with general courses in botli grammar and literature and then go on to more advanced studies of American literature, English literature, advanced grammar, and speech. MRS. VAN SANT B.A. andM.E., CSC, Chadron Instructor of World History, World Geography, and junior English The commercial classes are offered to students to help better prepare them for jobs in our modern business world. Typing and shorthand prepare the students to take the more advanced commercial classes. Secretarial training, offers shorthand, typing, and many classroom projects dem- onstrating office practice. The basic principles of accounting are taught to the students in bookkeeping. MRS. BLINDE B.S. in Ed., CSC, Chadron. Instructor of Freshmen English and Junior High Typing. ENGLISH-COMMERCIAL MRS. BROOKS B.S. in Ed., CSC, Chadron. Commercial 49 MRS. HULS B.S. in Ed. U. of Kansas, CSC, Chadron. Instructor of United State's History and Social Problems. BUD MURRAY B.S. in Ed., CSC, Chadron Instructor of History Driver's training is required of all Chadron High students. The purpose of this course is to teach the students good driving habits and give them a defensive driving attitude. Driver's training proves to be an important course to all students because driving is a major part of everyone’s life. 50 SOCIAL SCIENCE In order to understand the nature of current events and their relationship to us, we study the events and backgrounds from which they originated. World history shows us the progress man has made from ancient to modern times. U.S. history teaches us about the beginning of our nation and the ways in which it has adapted to the changing times. Social problems helps us learn of modern American government and international problems. World geography teaches us about the world's people and the places in which they live. GORDON FUZZ WATTS B.S. Ed., M.A. in Science, CSC, Chadron. Driver's Ed. and P.E. The Chadron High School library is constantly adding more books and informa- tion to its shelves for the benefit of its stu- dents. Since Mrs. Neeland has been here, the library has expanded greatly. It was enlarged this year and is looking forward to possible new facilities. The purpose of the Home Economics course is to help the students learn by doing. The two general study areas are sewing and cooking. The freshmen girls usually make two-piece outfits and learn the basic prin- ciples of cooking. Sophomore girls make wool garments. Following their study of meal planning, they prepare meals. The Seniors study family management. They sew more advanced garments and cook for- eign foods. JAMES BUTLER B. of S. in Ed., M. of S. in Ed., Chadron State College, Chadron Guidance MRS. NEELAND B.S. in Ed., CSC, Chadron. Librarian MRS. PINE B.S. in Ed., Iowa State College. Instructor of Home Economics and World History The guidance program at Chadron High endeavors to work with all of the stu- dents attending the school. Through this program young people are helped to dis- cover and develop their potentialities, not only mentally, but socially, emotionally, and physically. 51 MR. WATSON B. S. in Ed., CSC, Chadron. Instructor of Chemistry, Physics, and Physical Science. Steve Snook works out a filtration problem involved in his Science Club project in the chemistry lab. MR. TURNER B.S. in Ed., M.S. in Ed., CSC, Chadron. Instructor of Algebra, Geometry, Advanced Algebra, and Trigonometry. Mathematics is a science based on thinking in quantities. At Chadron High, two years of math are required, but many more may be taken. The courses offered are general math, a continuation of junior high math; algebra, the expressing of quan- tities in numbers and symbols; geometry, which has to do with quantities of space--solids, surfaces, lines and angles; trigonometry, which deals with the measurement of triangles and angles; advanced algebra, which continues the study of quadratic equations and logarithms; and advanced math, which prepares a student with probability, permu- tations, and series. Mathematics is also used to solve problems in other branches of science; in astronomy, physics, chemistry, surveying, mechanics, thermodynamics, and in many other sciences. 52 Facts and principles which are used to explain what you know and help discover what you do not know about the universe make up the heart of science. These facts have been at work to some extent in the case of the cave man, the jungle sav- age, and the citizen of today. Scientific knowledge has been arranged, classified, and broken down so that the average person can understand it. Of these classifications, the three basic natural sciences are taught at Chad- ron High: physics, the science of matter and energy and their relation to each other; chemistry, the science of all kinds of matter and their changes; and biology, the science of living things and their histories. General science, which is a basic study of all natural sciences and physical science, which is a preparatory course for physics, are also taught. MRS. MILLER B.S. in Ed., University of Missouri, M.S. in Ed., University of Colorado. Instructor of General Science and Biology. The Mercury Capsule model at the NASA exhibit which visited Chadron High this fall. MR. HOLMGRAIN B.S. in Ed., Hastings College, M.A. CSC, Chadron. Instructor of General Math and Algebra. 53 At Chadron High, Industrial Arts and Hobby Crafts are available to the students who are inter- ested in a leisure-time enjoyment or lifetime work. In Hobby Crafts, students learn such skills as leathercraft, etching, and copper tooling. The In- dustrial Arts program offers woodworking and en- courages the safety practices needed in this work. Students wishing to have foreign language in- cluded in their high school curriculum are welcome to participate in such courses as French, German, and Spanish at Chadron State College. ARTS LARRY FITZGIBBON B.S. in Ed., CSC, Chadron Instructor of Industrial Arts DENNIS T. McPHEETERS B. of Music in Ed., Kearney State Col- lege, Kearney, Nebr. Instructor of vocal and instrumental music and music theory. Chadron High students may take part in music through band, chorus, and music theory, which gives the student a clearer concept of musical meaning. Students who participate in music become better listeners and have a greater appreciation for the gifts and enjoyments of music in their adult life. 54 Cardinal Memories George Blome Bill Kennedy Guy Fish Jim Ahlvers Marvin Chasek Ken Chicoine Wendall Damm Rick David Skip Umshler Bevin Brown C Club Entrance Processional I Coronation Presentation of Gifts TONIGHT MOMENTS TO REMEMBER by Vocal Quintette Recessional Honor Guard Lance Scherbarth Mike Glode Larry Percy Larry Wineteer Chuck Lecher Paul Crouch Ben Roberts Larry Baumann Skip Thompson CARDINAL MEMORIES No one could have picked a better day for Homecoming, 1963. A day that will become a Cardinal memory, perfect in every way. The tediously planned and long awaited ceremonies began at 2:00 P. M. as students, alumni, parents, and citizens gathered in the Community Building for the elaborate coronation festivities. The stage was gayly clad in flowing red and white and a crown of silver embodied the throne from which its next Queen of Cardinals would reign. Along the isle leading to the throne were displayed momentos of past homecomings, still alive in the memories of the alumni. At last, the band began to play, and the tense moments slowly elapsed until Nadine Thomsen was crowned Queen of the 1963 Home- coming Festivities by King Larry Gold. 56 SENIOR ATTENDANTS Pat Cashon and John McDowell SENIOR ATTENDANTS Reta Burk and John Heiser HOMECOMING 1963 - The Senior Class float, with royalty aboard, traditionally follows the band in leading the Homecoming Parade.

OFFICERS President- Suze Orrell Vice-President- Barbara Brown Secretary - Carol Haag Treasurer- Marlene Blundell B” SQUAD Carol Haag Diana Anthony Joyce Rice Sandy Mathis The Pep Club is a vital part of school activites. Besides being present at the games to cheer the team on, the girls in Pep Club make victory signs and sponsor many activities. Homecoming, one of the biggest activities of the year, is sponsored by the Pep Club. A great deal of thought and preparation goes into Homecoming. The girls in Pep Club planned and decorated for the coronation, built a float, and organized the parade with the help of the C Club. As a whole, the Pep Club strives to promote good sportsmanship and school spirit. CARDEP ACTIVITIES AND CHEERLEADERS The cheerleaders provide the backbone of the school spirit and athletic support. Their sportsman- ship and pep serves as an example to the rest of the school during games and pep rallies. Always present at the school activities, these girls are the leaders and uni- fying element in the support of our teams. Mis. Simonton Advisor Additional Help Diana Betson Cherlynn Carnahan Sheila Lineback The production of a successful yearbook requires many hours of work and planning. The photography staff must record the year visually, the copy staff supplies the information needed to make the book of value in the future, and the various editors must carefully plan and supervise the yearbook's theme, form, and production. We have tried this year to put the CARDINAL in step with current trends in college and high school yearbook production, allowing the most time possible to every part of it. We hope that the 1964 CARDINAL will be a pace-setter for better Chadron High School yearbooks in the future. Kurt Johnson Editor YEARBOOK A penny saved is a penny earned.

Mol i ere's THE DOCTOR IN SPITE OF HIMSELF adapted by Barnard Hewitt This play is a farce comedy in which a woodcut- ter is mistakenly presumed to be a doctor. The trick is played by the woodcutter's spiteful wife, and it results in many hilarious situations. The juniors more than earned the many com- pliments they received for their fine presentation. Ken Thompson, as the woodcutter, tells his friend, played by Bill Kennedy, to mind his own business. Bill Gieseler seems to think it's all. in the way you hold your tongue. JUNIOR CLASS Ken Thompson, as the doctor , gives a helpful diagnosis to the old man and his son, portrayed by Rich Thompson and Bill Gieseler.

I u rusru I i fima 'Bulla Principal of the Junior High School Junior high school is one of the most important steps in a young person's educa- tion. It brings one into contact with many people of varied backgrounds and interests. Ihe study plan is less restrictive and more advanced to let one's special interests find new frontiers which are so important to the high school student. Students are instruc- ted by teachers specially trained in various fields of knowledge. One can participate, for the first time, in large organized athletic, academic, musical, and social activi- ties which will become a great part of one's high school life. On the whole, junior high offers the change in background and ideas needed for a student to become an active part of his high school. MR. THOMPSON 89 7TH GRADE OFFICERS Gary Weaver ....
