They were: Faye Mustard, Eleanor Jilg, Jerry Truesdell, Jerry Clark, and Joseph Rekie. Our teacher was Miss Barnard. The same four students entered the first grade but we were put into Miss Senkbile's hands. After the completion of the Second grade we were sent into Miss Sweette room for our third grade where the class gained two new students; Terry Cox and Leon Schutte. In the following year for our fourth grade we found our- selves back in Miss Sweeps room where we gained three new members to our class, they were Bernice Bender, Donald Branting and Patricia McLean. During this year we were sorry to lose Gerald Clark. Upon returning to school for our fifth grade we find no one has moved away but was happy to gain Betty Land. Passing out of the doors of our fifth grade we were sorry to leave Gerald Truesdell behind. We left Miss Rood (to her great sorrow) where we entered into Mrs. Campbells room for our Seventh grade. We were sorry to lose Betty Land But was happy to gain Neil Seiko. We were all very happy to enter into the Eighth grade where we learned Miss Bonnie Gagle was our teacher. It was at this time when we gained Donald Sperling as a member of our class which gave us the enrollment of nine students to finish our grade school days. They were: Bernice Bender, Donald Branting, Terry Cox, Eleanor Jilg, Patrica McLean, Faye Mustard, Leon Schutte, Neil Seiko, and Donald Sperling. We all looked forward to the night of Eighth Grade Graduation. HIGH SCHOOL DAYS At the fall of 1952 we were happy to be known as a high school class. Of course we had more additions to our class. They were: Nancy Stromburg, Elaine Randall, Jerry Schultz, Gerald Clark, Gary Lindgreen, and Virgil Cyza, but was sorry to lose Virgil in the spring of the year. Initiation will not be easily forgotten by all. The girls in men's long underwear and the boys in girls bathing suits were marched down town for a beauty contest. Gary Lindgreen won this. We choose our class pennant and purple and gold as our class colors. The American Beauty Rose was chosen for our class flower and Today we Follow; Tommorrow we Lead as our motto. Our Freshman class sponsor was Mr. Burger. In the following year we were happy to gain three new students to our class, Barbara Mustard, Maxine Schuele and Leona Zelasney, but was sorry to lose Donald Sperling. Our sponsor during our Sophomore year was Miss Margie Stubbe. We returned to school the next fall as one of the upper- classmen, Juniors. We were happy to gain a new member to our class, Marland Beckstrom but were sorry to lose Maxine Schuele and Barbara Mustard. On December second and third we presented our Junior Class Play No Boys Allowed . We can all thank Mr. Burger for helping us make it a success. We all enjoyed working together on the Junior-Senior Banquet which we chose the theme as Hillbillys . It was also during this year we received our class rings from Belfour, we received them just before Thanksgiving. Everyone was well pleased with their rings. One great party we had during our Junior year will not be forgotten by any of us. It was a steak-supper and show at Grand Island. Mrs. Velma McLean was our class sponsor. Then come the last of our high-school years. Many won- derful and happy experiences to remember. On October 11th the Senior class went to Haberman's Studio at Hastings and had our class pictures taken. In the afternoon we toured the Debus Bakery, and the Mental Hospital and also done a little shopping. In the evening we went to Grand Island and ate our supper at Bosselman and Eaton's restaurant and then attended the show The McConnel Story. This was a great day for all of us. The Senior class presented the Christmas play called Not Even A Mouse1.' We wodered our announcements from Starr . At the end of the first semester we were sorry to lose one of the class members, Patricia McLean. April 19th and 20th we presented our Senior play Keep Moving in which all but two of the members participated. As the history of the class goes on press we are look- ing forward to such events as the class play. Sneak Day, Baccalaureate, Senior Class Night and Commencement. The remaining members of the class of 1956 are: Bernice Bender Marland Beckstrom Donald Branting Gerald Clark Terry Cox Eleanor Jilg Gary Lindgreen Faye Mustard Elaine Randall Jerry Schultz Leon Schutte Nancy Stromberg Leona Zelasney 70tU We, the Seniors of '56, do hereby will to the Seniors of 57 our ability to humble ourselves among the lower classmen.

Eleven of the thirteen members of the graduating class of 1956 are gathered at the old Clarks High School. Right after the class of '56 graduated oil was struck in town. Clarks prospered for seven years but after that the oil supply died out and Clarks was left a ghost town. The first member of the class we see is the former Eleanor Jilg. She is now Mrs. Ray Graves. After graduating Eleanor married Ray. One year and one pair of twins later the Graves family joined the circus. Eleanor found her life's ambition and now holds the title of the world's strongest woman. Eleanor says she acquired her strength defending herself from Ray. As soon as he arrives Jerry Clark or perhaps we should call him by his more familiar stage name. Perry Martin, is the center of attraction. After graduating from Clarks High School Jerry entered Omaha University. He immediately went out for the football team. Jerry soon quit the squad when he found his handsome profile was getting messed up. Jerry, who never cared for singing in his high school days, was persuaded to try out for the college choir. He was an immediate success. Everyone knows Jerry's sky-rocketing ride to the top in stage, screen, and television. Critics claim Jerry's success is due to the bobbysoxers who don't pay much attention to his singing. Nevertheless, he makes about eight-million dollars a year. Jerry married Gae Williams while he was in college. But he shortly divorced her when he became a star. Since then he has been divorced five times. It is now rumored that Jerry and Gae will try to make a go of it again. Donald Branting is easily recognized by his six foot six-inch wife. They are both ardent fishermen and it was while fishing that they met. Branting was recently awarded 1st place in a national Tall Tale Contest . Donald is ho Icier of the Biggest Whopper Trophy awarded by his fishermen's club for the outstanding whopper of the year. He said he acquired his ability to tell tall tales through the practice he had in school making up excuses for missing classes and getting out of Mrs. Tolman's study hall. Across the room we see Elaine Randall better known as the Marilyn Monroe of 1976. Her measurements are 38-22-38. She is now being pursued by several eligible bachelors. Elaine acquired her spectacular figure early in life and has remained on a steady diet since then. Right now Elaine is considering two Jobs. One she is thinking of is becoming a pianist. She says she has always admired Liberace. The other job she is considering is becoming a part of Jerry Schultz's pit crew. After that she will retire and become an old maid and live to an old age. With a flash at the speed of light the famous nuclear scientist, Terry Cox whizzes up to the old school house. Cox is driving his own invention the sensational new atomic car. His car has speeds up to 600 miles per hour and will travel around the earth on the fuel supplied by a tiny capsule. Of course, the car is driven automatically with no effort from Professor Cox. Mr. Cox is most widely known for his conversion of atomic energy into useful projects such as his new experimental atomic car. Professor Cox was the first scientist to accomplich the successful conversion. However, this amazing achievement did not surprise the people who knew the Professor. While he was still in high school his physics teacher, Mr. McMahon exhausted by the numerous questions Cox has asked him, predicted he must be good for something. Nancy Stromberg is the next person to arrive. She has been residing in an old shack on the dege of town. Only after great persuasion did Nancy consent to come. After she graduated from Clarks High School she fell in love with a very wealthy New York businessman. They were married soon after. However, the young executive was addicted to the bottle and he soon left her. Nancy was brokenhearted and she vowed she would never marry again. So she packed up her belongings and moved to the ghost town of Clarks to live as a hermit. This is the first time she has seen a human being in six months. Ah, over there we see Jerry Schultz, the second Wild Bill Vokavich of the Indianapolis Speedway. After several unsuccessful attempts at marriage Jerry says he took up racing. He has an all girl pit crew. This idea struck him when he weemed never to be able to find the right girl at the right time. This way he says he can pick the girl to suit the time. Jerry is now trying to get Elaine Randall to join his crew. He says he will try to change her mind about becoming an old maid. Jerry has to leave early so he can be in bed at 9:00 for one of his big races tomorrow. His strict training rules were influenced by the strict training in the Clarks High School. Faye Mustard is found discussing something with her family. And a very impressive family it is too. Her husband is six-feet five-inches and she has eight daughters all over six-feet. As you might have guessed Faye is coach of her own touring volleyball team. She played actively with the team for a long time but recently she has given up the court to take over the coaching duties with her husband. Faye's team. The Fayettes, have won 150 games with no defeats for the current season playing the toughest competition. They are now playing in the National Tournament for the Grand Championship of the U.S.A. Unfortunately Gary Lindgreen could not be here tonight. Recently Gary was found with $100,000 in his pocket. Now there's nothing wrong with this except the money didn't belong to him. Gary Lindgreen, alias Gary the Greek, was sent to the pen. He declared no jail could hold him. He was proven correct as he soon escaped and went into hiding. Bernice Bender is also absent tonight because of some of her experiences with the law. There is some speculation of a connection between Bernice's episodes and Gary's. Bernice's technique seems to be the same as Gary's. Her latest job netted her enough to retire for life. She was driven to drink and on to crime when Jerry Gay eloped with her best friend. Bernice trusts no one and is believed to watch Gary closely. Sitting over there is Marland Beckstrom the famous band- leader. Marland began as a band-leader when he directed the Platte River Rats in 1956. Marland was inspired to become a band-leader by his classmates. Marland took their advice and after graduating studied music for five years. During his study he found nine suitable members for his band. Their leader named his band Marland and his Nine Deadbeats. Next week Marland will appear on television for the first time. After that if his show is a success we will hear Marland's beautiful music in all four corners of the earth. The very distinguished looking gentleman with a long gray beard is Leon Schutte. Leon is a Texas millionaire. After graduating from the University of Nebraska where he was a star member of the track team, Leon took a job on a Texas cattle ranch. One day he accidentally discovered oil. The owner was so happy that he gave Leon a large ranch and half the profits derived from the oil. Since then Leon has dis- covered oil three times. Just yesterday his wife stepped in a soft spot in the ground with her high-heeled shoe and out spurted oil. However, this time Leon was disgusted because his wife broke the heel off her only pair of shoes Across the room we see Leona Zelasney. She is now a geometry teacher in the Nebraska University. When Leona acquired her love for mathematics in Clarks High School she decided to go on to school and set her goal as a geometry teacher. Leona graduated from the University with top honors. After teaching high school geometry for several years Leona went back to school and earned her Masters Degree. From there she taught in the top colleges for eight years. Last year she was offered her present job and quickly accepted. Leona said whe never knew professors could be so handsome. She has her eye on the Professor of Physics. Leona also says she hopes to have some little professors someday. As we drift away from the seene of the Class of '56 reunion we find that each member of the class has made his mark in the world one way or another.

In the first semester we had one class party, a roller skating party at Havens. We hope to have more during the second semester. Also in the first semester the Juniors gave their class play. The Antics of Andrew, which we hoped was a great suc- cess. Again we would like to thank Mr. Burger for the great deal of help he gave us as sponsor of the play. We would also like to thank all the people who supported our play by their attendance. As Juniors we had the fortune to participate in County Government Day. There we got to meet the county officers and learn their duties. The Juniors are taking four subjects; English, History, and Typing. The last period most of the Juniors are taking Business Law. These students will take Book-keeping the last semester. The remaining Juniors are taking a new course. Physics. For the finishing touch of a busy year we will soon be- gin thinking about the Junior-Senior Banquet.

The Senior's special foods and tortures ended a week of involuntary slavery for the Freshmen. The Freshmen spent a large part of their newly acquired treasury on a hayrack ride and weenie roast as their first party October 25, 1955� We are looking forward to our second party the second semester. We Freshmen had our downs as well as ups. Once when Tom Kuhn dislocated his knee and again when Jerrie Dexter was badly burned. Charles Clauff left us after the first semester. The high spot for the boys was a Freshman football game with St. Paul. The team showed promise even though they lost 13 to 0. All in all the Class of 59 shows promise to be one of the best as well as one of the biggest to pass through Old Clarks High.

They are as follows: President-Eleanor Jilg Senior-Faye Mustard Junior-Mariannia Fredrichsen Sophomore-Rosalie Rose Freshmen-Sharon Stern Mrs. Bradshaw served as our first sponser but upon her leaving Mrs. Tolman has taken over the responsibilities as sponser. Cheerleaders chosen by the student body are Mandy Sherill Rosa Mc -ean, and Gae Williams. The cheerleaders chose white corduroy, sleeveless dresses with stand-up collars. The pep club wore the traditional blue corduroy skirts and weskits and white blouses. One of the big events of the year was the coronation of a king and queen. Leon Schutte was crowned king and Eleanor Jilg, Queen. The queen was presented a boquet of red rose3, by Coach Mansur. Attendents were Pat McLean, Gae Williams, Marland Beckstrom, and Jerry Clark. They will be further honored at the Athletic Banquet. The 37 girls belonging to the pep club have preformed such duties as making candy to sell at home games and provid- ing a cheering section for the team. During the earlier part of the year the girls pur- chased a pop machine from which they receive the proceeds A theme for the Athletic Banquet has been chosen. It i3 quite appropriately titled Team Work and will require just that from the girls preparation for it.

The Bomberettes began their practice with a new coach, Mr. Mansur. We had two bake sales and a soup supper to raise sufficient funds for new uniforms. They are made of blue jockey satin blouses and shorts with white numbers. Our first game was with Belgrade which we lost 20-18. However we did beat Alda in a practice game 1 5-26. Our second game was with Benedict where we lost again with the score being 25-21. One of the most exciting events of the season was the 39-22 victory over Polk. The girls played an exciting game and even though it was Friday the 13 we came through with the first big win of the season. They journeyed to Marquette on January 31 to bring home another victory of 1 1-19. We played Giltmer on our own floor and won with a score of 1 2-18. We gained the fourth victory over at Fairer February 10 have the score of 29-19. This was the toughest game of the season for the girls. February 17 we traveled to St. Paul and came home with another victory the score being 1 5-10. On February 29 and March 2 we held a tournament. Belgrade, Chapman, and Elba participated. We played Elba for the finels but they proved to good for us. 'VMey Sail poetfalCC Thirty-eight boys reported for action last fall. This was one of the largest squads to ever report for football at Clarks High. The first game of the 55 season was with Silver Creek. The Bombers were turned back 12 to 6. Early in this game Ed Booth recieved a concussion and was lost for the season. The following week Clarks intertained the Wood River boys. The Clarks eleven defeated the Wood River gridironers in a close one, 1U to 12. Polk came to Clarks the next week for another home game. The Clarks boys played good ball and came out on top by a score of 20 to 6. The Blue and White journeyed to Stromsberg the next Friday night to take a 20 to 8 defeat in a hard played game. Another home game was enjoyed by the home boys a week later when Shelton also came to the local gridiron only to be turned back 12 to 0. Clarks went to St. Paul for their fourth Goldenrod Conference game. The Bombers accepted a 27 to 12 defeat. They now had a 3-3 record. Osceola was the next to entertain the Clarks eleven. The Bulldogs proved too much for them and the game ended in a win for Osceola 7 to 33� The following week found St. Edward at Cxarks. Clarks enjoyed a lead at the half but the second session found the opponent pulling up on the locals and the game ended in a 20-20 dead lock. Genoa came to Clarks the next week for the last con- ference game of the season for the Blue and White. The boys held the opponent down to 20. The Bombers were unable to score against the powerful Genoa eleven. The tenth and final game of the season was played at West Kearney. The Industrialists scored two touchdowns and one extra point for a total of 13. Clarks played a good game but they were held scoreless. This game wound up the prep football careers of seven senior boys. The Bombers compiled a record of three wins compared with seven losses. The finished in sixth place in the con- ference. 'pootfcUl S $u ut The Clarks hoopsters opened their '55- 56 basketball season by traveling to Belgrade December 9. The boys had their hopes high but fell prey to the opponent 39 to 31« The reserve lads dumped their competitors, 29 to 20. The local quintet journeyed to Benedict for their next contest. Again they had to witness defeat,h5 to 6?� The seconds were victorious. They dunked 30 counters against 28 for Benedict. Clarks went to St. Ed for their first conference game, but at the final buzzer suffered a deficit of 20 points. The Bombers had 39. The Blue and White reserves emerged on top for the third consecutive game by out scoring the St. Ed boys 29 to 22. The Merrick County Tournament provided Clarks with their next game. The varsity team played Chapman in the first round. This was the first victory for them. They defeateo a stuborn opponent h3 to 39 and earned the right to return the following night to play Silver Creek. This proved very disheartening, for the locals dropped the game 39 to 67. The reserves were taken out of the tournyment the first night by Central City. The boys played a very good game by scoring eleven field goals and thirteen free throws against twelve field goals and twelve free tosses for for the C.C. reserves for a final score of 35 to 36. Clarks came up against Silver Creek in their next game for a confer- ence tilt. The boys played a much better game than they did in the tourney and held the opposing five to a U2 to 29 win. The second five came through for their fourth win in five starts, 31 to 30. The following week the local boys journeyed to Pold only to accept defeat from a well coached Cubs team 39 to 60. The hot reserves cont- tinued to roll on by dumping a stubborn opponent 32 to 31. The next game found a well ballanced Osceola five double the score on the Blue and White 72 to 36. The seconds were also supprised 20 to 30. The Clarks five went to Genoa for their fifth Golden Rod Conference game only to be outscored 67 to Ul. Again the reserves were defeated 3h to 25 and now had a record of five wins compared with three losses. Marquette entertained the Bombers to their eighth loss in nine starts by a margin of seven points. The varsity lads pumped in 63 counters against 70 for the foe. The Clarks reserve seconds got a lot of experience and did a fine job of taking care of their enemy by downing them 51 to 19 The next game was more enjoyable for the Clarks spectators for the Blue and White played a good game and at the end of the last quarter a lead of thirteen points was held by second time victorious Bombers. They sunk 6U points as compared with for Duncan. To help matters, the second team romped their competitors 58 to 21. An improved team was too much for their next opponent also for the Clarks lads defeated Palmer 60 to 51 for their third win of the season. Two wins were enjoyed by Clarks that night. The second team proved too much for the Palmer seconds also and they fell prey to scrappy Clarks five. 33 to 21. Stromsburg was the next game of the season. They put an end to the two game win streak of the Bombers by downing them in a hard fought game 57 to 62 The reserves won their tilt, 28 to 25. The Clarks hoopsters opened their last regularly scheduled game at St. Paul. This was also a conference game, both teams dropped their tilts the varsity 29 to 59 and the reserves 26 to U6. The final game of the season was in the District Tournament at Osceola. Clarks played St. Mary's of David City and were turned back by a score of 39 to 62. This was the last game for six senior boys. The Blue and White finished with a seasonal record of 3 wins and 12 losses. The reserves completed their season with 9 wins and I4. losses. 'ZfoKon. d Second Team 7earn tyiade “SatdetfaiM 1ca K The boys opened their season by entertaining District 25 in an exciting game which saw them drop an exciting dicision to the visitors by the score of 35 to 33� Next game saw the Rockets played a vastly improved game, as they were decisioned by an experienced Genoa team by the score of U7 to 3b. In their next outing, the basketballers played the Giltner grade school team and was decisioned. Playing their last game of the regular season, the Clarks Rockets lost to Shelby by the score of 26 to 21. In tournament play, Clarks put up a hard scrap, before losing to an experienced St. Paul team 37 to 2U. Ralph Jilg and Asa Lloyd Pollard were the lead- ing scorers for the Rockets during the grade school basket- ball season. Although, not successful in winning a contest this season, the boys had a good season. Lack of experience and the loss of Denny Osterman and Jerry Cahill by injuries definitely hurt the chances of the local team. Seventh, - Si$£t6.
