Clarks High School - Bomber Yearbook (Clarks, NE)

Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1972 volume:

The Bomber 1972 Empty halls, empty rooms, empty desks - the beginning and end of every school year is the same. But this is not what one remembers. The 1972 annual staff have filled the once empty pages of this annual with the people, groups, and events which have made 1972 memorable. For what better way is there to fill emptiness than with memories.

Under the supervision of Mrs. Jim Petitt, the 17 kindergarten- ers were: Mary Bittinger, Chris Dittmer, Geraldine Bialas, Janet Miller, Mary Shonsey, Sharon Beck, Bob Church, Doug Wallace, Jim Bolen, Paul Douglas, Robert Ksiazek, Dennis Jarecke, Gary Strom- berg, Jerry Pollard, Billy Culver, Randy Dexter, and Rodney Didier. Mrs. Baird was our First Grade teacher. During that year we gained Linda Earl, Karen McNeal and Susan Anderson. Later we lost Billy Culver. The Second Grade brought us one new student. This was Lyle Weber, but he moved later that year. This year we had Mrs. Sloan for our teacher. As Third Graders we were happy to have Mrs. Zlomke as our teacher. We welcomed Jerry Wells and John Wilson. We started our Fourth Grade with Mrs. Alexander helping us through the year. The new student that joined our class was Claire Harris. We lost Doug Wallace at the close of the year. Climbing still higher we entered the Fifth Grade with Miss Marie Zoucha as our teacher. Miss Shirley Test opened the door to our Sixth Grade year of school. We gained Dave Schultz, Steve Rieken and lost Linda Earl. During Seventh Grade, Mr. James Rayer was our sponsor. During this year we lost Gary Schumacher. Our Eighth Grade sponsor was Mr. Don Hanssen. We lost Johrt Wilson at the end of the year. At the close of the year we took a trip to Lincoln. We toured various interesting places such as the State Capitol, Morrill Hall, and the Weaver Potato Chip Factory. In the fall of 1968, twenty-five students began the struggle of high school. The new members were: Jane Grafe, Tom Fritz, Ted Micek, Jerry Traudt, Gary Urkoski, Marvin Yrkoski. We chose for our class colors, wine and white, and our flower, the white rose. We were happy to have as our sponsors, Mrs. Paden and Mr. Riley. Our officers were.- Jerry Pollard President, Sharon Beck - Vice-President, and Karen McNeal - Sec. -Treas. Moving into our Sophomore year our sponsors were Mrs. Blain and Mrs. Banks. Our class officers for this year were: Susan Anderson - President, Jane Grafe - Vice-President, and Jerry Traudt - Sec. -Treas. We chose as our class motto, With Yesterdays Knowledge, We Challenge Tomorrow.’’ We ordered our class rings from Jostens. Jerry Traudt and Claire Harris left us after our Sophomore year. Our Junior year was a busy year with our class play Washington Never Slept Here. We honored the Seniors with the Junior-Senior Prom. Our theme was Song of the Islands. Our sponsors were; Mr. Sodomka, Mrs. Banks, and Mrs. Ippensen. Class officers were: Mary Bittinger - President, Sharon Beck - Vice President, and Mary Shonsey - Sec. -Treas. In the final year at C. H. S., we started out twenty-five strong. We were delighted to have as our foreign exchange student, Libby Tobias and to have Claire (Harris) Schott rejoin us, but we were sorry to lose Chris Dittmer at the end of the first semester. Our officers for the final year were; Rod Didier - President, Gary Strombert - Vice-President, and Janet Miller - Sec.-Treas. Sponsors were Mr. Jones and Mr. Kreps. We had our Senior pictures taken at Lumbard Leschinsky. On March 24 and 25, 1972, we presented our Senior Class Play, Hillbilly Weddin'. We ordered our graduation announcements from Jostens. The Juniors honored us with the Junior-Senior Banquet, Cherish. We left on April 27 for Osage Beach, Missouri (Ozarks) on our Senior Sneak Trip and returned on the 30th. On May 24th, during the Commencement exercises, twenty-three Seniors received their diplomas and said a final farewell to C.H.S. 13 Class Wills We, the Senior Class of 1972, being of sound mind and memory, do hereby make, publish, and declare this our last will and testament. We, the Seniors, do hereby will to the Senior Class of 1973, our ability to have fun on Sneak Trip pro- viding they don't sneak anymore on the bus than we did. We, the Seniors, do hereby will to the Junior Class of 1973, our ability to do mean things, providing they don't go any farther than we did. We, the Seniors, do hereby will to the Sophomore Class of 1973, our maturity providing they grow up within the next 3 years. We, the Seniors, do hereby will to the Freshman Class of 1973, the rest of our abilities, providing they can figure out what they are and make good use of them. I, Susan Anderson, will what? You’re kidding! I, Sharon Beck, do hereby will nothing, since I have nothing to will. I, Geraldine Bialis, will my shortness to Stephanie Zoucha, providing she doesn't get teased as much a6 I did.

SENIOR PROPHECY Dear Steve Reiken: It's been twenty years since we last heard of you. We've heard you've gotten claustrophobia since you've been in the state pen. Hope you're feeling better. I thought I'd write to you because you were voted the most likely to succeed. I guess you did. You made quite a few headlines when they got you for the biggest moonshining business. You're probably wondering how your classmates are doing back in Clarks. It is now a progressive suburb of Havens and growing every day. Remember your cousin Dave? He's now coaching at Clarks High. He married his lifetime sweet- heart, Diane, and now has three children. Randy Dexter, you know, the one with the muscles, is farming and annually shows off his muscles at fairs. Last year he was the main attraction at the Worlds Fair held at Clarks. The Beauty School had a winner a few years back. Good ole Susie Anderson. She now shares her dad's T. V. Repair Shop. She calls it Susie's Repair Shop. Her new invention has brought her millions. It's called the Permanent Afro. You get it by sticking your finger in an electrical socket. By the way, do you get to see much T.V. up there? It seems Janie Grafe has been on lately. Really turns them on with that voice of hers. Hear she's a real swinger off-stage, too. Uncle Sam got Tom Fritz a few years after he graduated. After he was discharged from the army, he received a little momento for being the quickest to flee from the enemy. It was a rubber chicken to go with his rubber duckie. Karen and Sharon are UN's at the new hospital they built a few years back. Karen’s married up with her lover, the doctor. They make a perfect duet. We hear Sharon's getting along pretty well with the rest of the doctors on the staff. Gary Urkoski still plays with that swinging polka band. It seems that their band is now the new group sweeping the country that all the teenagers idol. Jerry Pollard who usea to work at his dad’s gas station is now playing pro-football. Last year, he did such a fantastic job fumbling the ball, they gave him a vacation. It seems they sent him on a trip around the world during the football season. Mary Shonsey spends most of her time redecorating the old mayor's mansion in Clarks that they now live in. She also works as a part-time bookkeeper for the Packing Company her husband now owns. Ted Micek, whose love of the hogs has brought him far, is one of the biggest hog farmers in the country. It seems he fell in love with Miss Hog of 1992 at the last annual Hog Farmers Association get together. They're now living happily ever after. Dennis Jarecke, better known as Pinky, tried college but it just wasn’t his thing. So he went back to his favorite pastime, farming. He is now making a success of raising peanuts and is now known as Pinky, the peanut farmer. Sheny Tobias returned to her native country of Guatamala to become a lawyer. It seems she’s quite a talker. They say she talks so fast the jury lets her win every case because they can’t figure out what she's saying and they'd rather not ask again. Robert Ksiazek went off to seek his fame and fortune in California. He started out on construction and ended up running a nightclub on Sunset Strip. It’s known as the Passionate Peacock. Bob Church just did wnat came naturally. He built a vacation lodge down by the river. He’s mak- ing a pretty good living at it. He says he really gets a kick out of those city folks who don't know any- thing. Claire Schott, one of our married students, was a whiz at bookkeeping. She's now a bookkeeper at the elevator her husband owns. Marvin Yrkoski joined the Royal Canadian Mounted Police a few years ago. He was given a horse to get around with but someone stole it. So they sent him up north with a dog sled cause they didn't trust him wrjth a snowmobile. Gary Stromberg went on to KSC. He majored in custodian work. He graduated with the highest of honors. They liked him so well they decided to keep him on as janitor. Isn't it nice that he fol- lowed his father’s footsteps? Chris Carlson, another of our married students is now living happily on a farm with her husband and family. Her husband is one of the biggest farmers in the state so it keeps her Jsusy. Paul Douglas went on to KSC. He majored in business and was one of the smartest students they've had. Too bad he failed at his own business that he started when he came back to Clarks. You'll now find him on the comers looking for handouts. Geraldine Bialas enjoyed tne thrills of business school. She's now working at the Clarks National Bank. I hope she doesn't try to get away with anything or else she'll end up like you. Rodney Didier, believe it or not, has followed in his dad's footsteps, too. He joined up on the Clarks Police Force. There's a rumor going around that the kids are getting away with murder. I wonder? And last but not least, Mary Bittinger, the girl wonder. She went to school to learn how to work with retarded children. She's now teacning at Clarks and getting along just fine. Good luck and God bless you.

Population-Polution Control Awareness Week — Dec. 13-17 Monday - Crowd-in - All students from Grades 7-12 were crowded into the Home Ec. room. Two doughnuts were passed around, and no one could eat until all were served. Material was presented to begin and explain the weeks' activities. Tuesday - Films were shown at 9:30. Grades 7-12 were included. Wednesday - There were a few surprises from 11:00 to 1:00. Were you prepared? Many were were not! Thursday - Lunch was to have been handled differently in order to emphasize the food supply problems of over-population. After Wednesday's demonstration, however, few people cared to cooperate so this was cancelled. Friday - An assembly was held for Grades 7-12 to sum up points. Students faced some of the real problems of pollution. A terrible smelling odor, no water, and no ac- cess to restrooms gave the students a demonstration of the reality of life with pollution. The Seniors through their Modem Problems and Adult Living classes, sponsored this week. They did a good job of making people aware of these two serious problems.
