Our first teacher, Valorie Augustus is well remembered, by many of us for her kind guidance, which gave us a good start on this long rough road of life. Our next years were made richer by the understanding of 3uch teachers as Beulah Crain, Nina Adams, Doris Braaf, Barbara Little Morga.., Jack Burger, and Mrs. Genivieve Y.'agner. Those years were filled with the usual class picnics, operettas and other activities v hieh make the life of a grade-school pupil so very interesting. During these years Norma Campbell, Donna Beckstrom, Donna ■Jaggoner, Lucetta Jilg, Kathleen Holys, and Alfred Homolka entered our class. Our High-School days began with a well-remembered Initiation which gave us to understand that we were but-definitely Green Freshmen.---We soon got over the depressed idea that we were brow-beaten and became in time quite determined to rule the roost—(a quality so well known to many high school classes). Under the sponsorship of Mrs. Barnes in our freshman year, we maintained a high social life with many parties. To our dismay we received a pennant, which is a combination of silver-grey and blue. Yfe chose our Class Flowers,—red and v.hite carnations, and a Class Motto,— No Steps Backward, All Steps Forward. lie participated in Dramatics under the guidance of Mrs. Thompson as well as the other various extra-curricular activities. During this year we added many more to our class—Stanley Longenecker, Bill Y urtz, Bill Kuhn, Bill Dexter, Johnny Jacobi, Richard Johnson, Mary Anne Hayes, Virginia Stromberg, Jeanette Kaminsky , and Lois Anderson. Mrs. Shonsey became our sponsor in our Sophomore year. During this year we devoted most of our time to scholastic ac- tivities, and some sports, chorus, dramatics, etc. A number of the students served as waiters and waitresses for the Junior- Senior Banquet. This year our number was enriched by Bonnie Burruss, Verlene Darnall, Alnetta Karges, and Carolyn Oquist. Our Junior year began a nev era for us—one of growing-up (that is--by this time we considered ourselves UPPER-CLASSMEN). The Junior Play Keep Moving brings back many memories. We received our rings during this year, some ruby setted and others set in black onyx. . Some Juniors participated in the Senior Play in the spring of '46. On April 4th and 5th, 1946, eight members of our class joined a group of 13, and left school for a two day Illegal Holiday. Memories—Memories---WOW U II The Junior-Senior Ban- quet carried out the theme of a Mexican Fiesta. The usual cus- tom was carried out by attending the dance at Riverside after the Banquet. We ushered and attended the Class of 46 in Bacca- laureate and Commencement, to bid fond farewell to our friends and schoolmates. September of '46 say the Registration for the last time of the Class of 47. Our Senior year was filled with many enjoy- able activities. In October we journeyed to Hastings and had our pictures taken, spending the afternoon touring points of interest in Hastings. Most of us stayed in Grand Island in the evening. Robert Galusha came into our class this year bringing the total members to twenty-four, the largest graduating class in some time. We had the usual squabbles in selecting our Caps and Gowns, r k Announcements and Name Cards, as well as the class play. At the time this was sent to press, we. The Seniors, are planning to give the play Hobgoblin House. Our Sneak Day plans being made up are to charter a bus to Omaha. We are also giving a good deal of thought to the forth- coming Junior-Senior Banquet, Baccalaureate, Class Night, and, above all. Commencement. This I believe ends the tale of our grade and high school days spent at Clarks Public School. We have been looking for- ward for such a long time to the time when we might say, Oh, I'm out of school, But to be truthful, each of us has a lump in our throat, and a few of us are even a little tearful-eyed at the prospect of leaving what we have known and loved for such a long time. Our future is bright and each of us is going to try to make the best of it. Wish us luck. Classmates. Tours truly. Class of '47 Clarks High School Clarks, Nebraska 4 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Instead of turning back the pages of history, we shall draw aside the curtain that veils the future, and take a long look into the crystal ball for a glimpse into the lives of the 24 Seniors of the Class of 1947, to see what they will be doing 20 years from now. .That do we see? It’s a reunion, no doubt. A luxurious taxi pulls up to the door and the last of the dignitaries, members of the Class of 1947, arrive. They join the others who are entering the building, and step on the moving escalator which brings them to the second floor of the ultra- modern edifice. Can this be Clarks High School? They seem a bit dazed by the changes that have been made in the old school. Their hats are removed by an automatic hat remover, the brain-child of Alfred Homolka. Alfred, who invents'labor saving devices, has worked to enable others to stop v orking. His inventions are too numerous to mention, and they are employed almost everywhere to lighten the drudgeries of daily tasks. The gay group moves excitedly about the halls. Twenty years has made changes in their appearances, too—dignity,avoirdupois, and graying hair; but the chatter as they recall the old days is very much the same as it used to be in the old high school. The man standing near the door is Stanley Longenecker. He vns keenly disap ointed in a most promising love affair back in 1947, and immediately turned his back on the cold cruel world and became a confirmed bachelor. He has spent twenty years on a lonely farm of two .cres northeast of Clarks. His hobby is re- pairing old buggies. The stately and dignified lady talking with him i,s lliss Verlene Darnell. She is now a very successful history teacher in Cambridge University. Herbert .Turtz tells of his good fortune in 1950, when the circus came to Clarks. He was so interested that he got a perm- anent job carrying water to the elephants. He stayed v;ith the circus and worked hard, and has become the ring leader in Ring- ling Brothers Circus. H 7. A i ■ i • % y jet! %) w Jeanet e Kaminsky's college career was cut short when Dale Beck insisted she had enough education for a storekeeper's wife. They live in .Yahoo where Dale runs a grocery store and Jeanette helps him when she isn't trying to make the youngsters behave. Though graying at the temples, William Dexter has the same wavy hair the girls used to rave about. He lives with his wife, Marilyn, and their two children in a richly furnished apartment in the wealthy district of Vienna, Austria. He has became noted through his brilliant piaho concerts, given in a tour through Europe when he won favor with royalties by his attractive appearance. He flew here to be present at the reunion That gracef.il, elegantly dressed woman is Virginia Mustard. In 1953 she won the prize as best toe dancer in the st.te of Nebraska, and ;vas awarded a trip to South America. She liked the country so well that she stayed at Rio de Janeiro and made dancing her profession. The intelligent looking man in the gray business suit is the husband of Kathleen Holys. He is a doctor. Kathleen attended Columbia School of Nursing after graduating from Clarks High School, and later became head nurse at the Mayo Brothers' Clinic in Rochester. It is understood that her motto is, kill or cure. Madame Valrinske, the fortune teller of Ringling Brothers' Circus, is no other than Donna Waggoner. She is able to tell your past, present, and future. She has spent seventeen years in this profession and is now one of the most famous fortune tellers in the United States. You will notice that Mary Anne Hayes has lost none of her charm. She graduated from Columbia University and carried a college professor in 1954. After two years of happy married life, her devoted husband died from indigestion. She at once opened a style shop on Broadway, which is bringing in enormous profits. She has just returned from Paris with the latest styles, one of which she is modeling. Shirley Lindahl is the ta3.1 person who seems to be arguing with some of the other dignitaries. After graduating from Clarks High School, she went to Nebraska Central College where she studied law and soon became a promising lawyer. She was la- ter elected to the United States Legislature, and has regained renown as a political reformer. Carolyn Oquist whose residence is in Swedehome is noted for her delicious cakes and pastries. Her husband insists on her serving a lunch every two hours. '.Vith her large family she gets a lot of practice in cooking. The man flashing the costly ring and tie pin is RichardJOhn- son who started his business career by being a bell hop in the Blackstone Hotel in Omaha. There he began saving the pennies that he received from the lovely ladies of Omaha for his poor services. Notwithstanding this humble beginning, he has risen to a position where the class may well be proud of him. He is now President of the National Bank of New York City, the largest bank in the world. The plump little lady is the former Bonnie Burruss. She evidently has not taken her own medicine. .fliile on a vacation trip to Omaha, she established a reducing parlor on East Farnam Street. She has done a flourishing business and has made a good deal of money. She married an insurance man and is now a very popular society lady in Omaha. Are you surprised to know that the little lady with 7 illiam Kuhn is not Joyce Hunscote? During their college days Bill and Joyce decided to go their different ways. Bill went to Arkansas where he obtained a job picking cotton. After working there a few years he married the daughter of a southern planter. Bill is a hard worker and makes a good living for his wife and ten children. Joyce Hunscote after graduating from the University of Nebraska's School of Business, obtained a position in the Omaha National Bank where she worked for five years. She was then in- vited to the New York National Bank and became the private sec- retary to President Richard Johnson, where she has worked indus- triously up to this time. John Jacobi and his wife are the life of the party. He met this beautiful actress while spending a summer vacation in Thum- mel, Nebraska. She was on her way to Hollywood and he followed her and they were soon married. Through her influence he has made a name for himself; and he is now taking the place of Errol Flynn, screen's best lover. ■ c, • A i The lady in black is Donna Beckstrora. Dae to a disappoint- ment in love .after she graduated, she devoted her time to chari- ty and welfare. She is now matron of the Old Folks Home at Havens, Nebraska, a position for which she is v ell suited. Due to the strenous life, Robert Galusha is entirely bald. After his graduation he attended a lion-tamer'.s school. He showed such aptitude along this line that he finished ahead of all the others in his class. He then went to Africa where he had many hair-raising experiences, and obtained a nice collecticn of wild beasts, which he brought tack to the United States. From this small beginning has come the famous Galusha Llenagerie. His friend and classmate, Herbert 7 urtze, helped him to get a start in the menagerie business. The very attractive and coquettish Lucetta Jilg still has an eye for eligible bachelors, but she is not yet ready to settle down. She is now a very famous a tress in Hollywood and her stage name is Lucy Blomnerlove. She is screens best loved actress. She has made several trips abroad on talent tours. Alnetta Karges is still carrying a horn case from force of habit. After her graduation she attended the University of Kansas and majored in music. She then obtained a position as solo saxaphone player in i'hil Spitalm's All Girl Orchestra. She often dedicates her solos to Leanard Kiolbasa. Lois Anderson, although an old maid, is an especially fam- ous manufatturer of Anderson's Beauty v.'igs and Toupees for men. She is admired by those who have benefitted by her creations. Her factory is in Gan Francioco. Her chauffeur and constant companion is a graduate of 1945« As a hobby she draws cartoons and gives chalk talks. Virginia Stroraberg you will remember was always on good terms with the boys in the High School. She has became a man- hater and will have nothing to do with men. She declares she will ever remain a spinster. She has been teaching in a little school in the Ozarks for the past 15 years. The reunion comes to a close with the dignitaries singing the old High School Color Song. Farewells are spoken with a pledge to meet again in ten years. They depart to go their var- ious ways. Lingering together as they leave the building is the attractive history teacher and the confirmed bachelor. Can it be that fcomance still pervades these halls? Here the curtain falls and we can only surmise. CLao3 '. ILL , e, the Sinior Class of 1947, being of sound mind and em- ory, do hereby make, publish, and declare this our last vd.ll and testament.

The football team did its calathenics very faithfully with high hopes of being undefeated for the year 194 but between Mr. Bad Luck and Mr. V eather that seemed to be hiding on every gridiron the team visited, it had a medium successful year. The first team was made up of seven seniors, three juniors and one freshman. The first team the Blue Bombers of � 47 met was Scotia on a muddy field. After a very thrilling game with the score being tied, 5 seconds before the final run, the game ended with Scotia as the victor 12 to 6. The team came home with a firm determination to win the next game which they did by defeating Silver Creek 19-0 on Sept. 20. The next week on October 4th, found Clarks at home playing on a water soaked field, and those who have ever played on Feehan's Field after a week of rain know how sloppy it can be The game was played in the rain with Stromsburg capturing the pigskin game 6 to 0. Because of an outbreak of polio which claimed for one of its victims, the freshman member of the team, Ivan Waggoner, the St. Bcneventure game schuled for Oct. 11 was cancelled andthe Polk game schuled for Oct. 18, was postponed until Nov. 26. After a three weeks vacation without practice, the team returned to school, saddened and weakened by the loss of two of their regular men and two good substitutes, but still determined to do as well as possible. The next two gamed one with Central City Reserves on Nov. 1 and the other with Osceola on Nov. 8, ended in ties 6 to 6 and 7 to 7 respectively. One of the worst defeats of the season came on a muddy gridiron at Genoa on Nov. 8 with Genoa defeating Clarks 30 to 13. The postponed winning 26 to 0. game with Polk was played Nov. 20 with I With the loss of men and weather conditions as they were Clarks still held their own and tied for 3rd in the Goldenrod Conference. The Basketball Season was not as successful as the Football Season, the schedule and results being as follows: Duncan 24 Clarks 26 Osceola 49 Clarks 24 Palmer 40 Clarks 18 Polk 65 Clarks 24 Stromsburg 54 Clarks 30 Marquette 35 Clarks 34 Silver Creek 39 Clarks 28 Polk 65 Clarks 30 Marquette 29 Clarks 25 Hordville 19 Clarks 40 Silver Creek 60 Clarks 31 Monroe 25 Clarks 40 Hordville 17 Clarks 33 Shelby 35 Clarks 29 Bellwood 35 Clarks 30 Spring found several men participating in tract, how successful that team will be has not been determined as yet. % BASKETBALL TEAM L' UJIC During the year 1946—47 Clarks High has again cone to the front in nusic.

Mr. .Valter Olsen from Fremont was the g-uest conductor.. The day was spent in practicing and at 8 o'clock that evening the con- cert was presented to a large audience at the High School Audi- torium. Margaret Feehan played a baritone solo Bride of the Waves. Everyone enjoyed himself and will long remember the day. Six students of Clarks High were chosen to represent our school at the State Music Clinic at Lincoln on Nov. 21, 22, 23. Margaret Feehan and Joyce Hunscote entered the Band and Nona Campbell, Mary Hayes, Patricia Morris and Bill Kuhn entered the Chorus. Mr. Strickland and Mr. Cox accompanied them. Bach reported a very good time and termed it as a most exciting ex- perience. On March 31, the students from Stromsburg and Clarks Public Schools who were planning on entering the music contest this year, gathered at the High School Auditorium at Clarks and play- ed their numbers before a large audience. Clarks Band played their pieces and the Chorus sang three songs. The soloists, quartet e, and sextet also rehearsed their numbers. after the program, a very nice lunch was served to the stu- dents and the music teachers in the Home Economics room. April 18 and 19 were the real days of reckoning for that was when the Seventh District Music Contest was held. There were quite a number of students from Clarks High that entered this year.
