Dur- ing these four years all the students have grown to love and respect him. No matter how busy he happens to be, he takes time out to solve our problems, and he always greets the students with a warm smile- and at friendly hello . Before coming to Columbus High School, Mr. Young was Superintendent of Schools at Carroll, Iowa, and David City, Nebraska. He received his B. S. and M. A. degrees at the University of Ne- braska.

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION The Board of Education of the Columbus Schools is the backbone and promoter of the city's educational system. They have the job of guiding us through our education, but their main objective is to set up the policies and rules that insure the students of Columbus schools the very best of educational opportun- ities. The members of the Board of Education are John W. Schultz, presidentg N. C. Rogers, vice- presidentg Lester C. Ernst, secretaryg and other board members are Mrs. I. E. Levine, J. P. Young, George Johansen, Vance E. Leininger, and Mrs. Ina Person, office secretary. All board members have prominent businesses and professions of their own. Giving credit where credit has been earned, we give it to the Board of Education for back- ing us with their knowledge, experience, and counsel. -4.- INA PERSON In charge of all office work Secretary of the schools Supervisor of senior office force Pet Peeve: Cold Coffee PRINCIPAL After his first year as Principal of Columbus High School, Mr. Pa-ul Miller is fast becoming a good friend to students and faculty alike. Through- out the year Mr. Miller has worked hard to im- prove the school plan. Although it is as new to him as it is to us, Mr. Miller was the one who dropped the quarterly exams and lengthened the time for the semester examinations. With the years to come, let us hope that he keeps up the good work. 'Mr. Miller received his M. A. degree at the University of Nebraska. FAITH HURFORD, R. N.

Its members are representa- tive from homerooms and from the organiza- tions of the school. This year, the Student Council was led by Ruth Kluck, presidentg Gor- don Goldenstein, vice-president, Sandra Peter- son, secretaryg Richard Miller, treasurerg and Byron Speice, editorg with Mary Rankin and Vernon Persell, sponsors. Among the duties of the Student Council, we find its members maintaining the informa- tion desk, checking lockers, cars, and bicycles, sponsoring dances, and co-ordinating activities of the school. This year, for the first time, we had our meetings during the noon hour because of the many conflicts after school. This plan proved quite successful. In October Ruth Kluck, Fannie Gloor, and Richard Grant attended the State Student Coun- cil Convention in Grand Island. The Student Council sponsored an educa- tional exhibit with Richard Grant and Daniel Grace co-chairmen. Our new school flag, designed by Shirley Rieken, is the result of a Student Council proj- ect. a cial 6544! EXECUTIVE BOARD L. Brakenhoffg V. Schmitg S. Oppliger: S. Davis, L. Aerni. Back row--S.

September 14 officially opened the football season for 1951, as the Discoverers fell before a hard fighting York team 6-7. Colum- bus led throughout the game but lost on a fumble with 72 seconds remaining. The following week Columbus traveled to Blair and had little o ble in rackin u a 24 0 victoi ' tr u g p - i 'y. Grand Island, the state's top eleven for several years. came to Columbus with high expectations of repeating the overwhelming 1950 victory: but the hard fighting Maroons fought to a terrific 6-7 in the first half. The Islanders then came back to score two touch- downs in the second half to set the Maroons their second setback 6-21. With revenge on their minds, Columbus traveled to Hastings for the next game. The Maroons started off with a 12-0 first quarter lead but failed to score throughout the re- mainder of the game and dropped a 12-19 de- cision in a field of mud and freezing rain. The following week on the home field the Discoverers handed Schuyler a 32-0 tromp- ing. The Maroons again took to the road this time. traveling to Fremont to battle one of the top ten teams in the State and also to get pos- session of the famed F and C trophy, but fate took a hand and Fremont took a hard fought battle 6-13. On a rainy and muddy night the Maroons met the Norfolk Panthers on the home grid-- iron. Despite the slippery field, the Discoverers went on to hand the Panthers a 39-7 defeat. For their last game away the Discoverers traveled to Fairbury to take an easy 43-13 de- cision over the hard fighting Jeffs. With the season coming to a close, the Maroons played host to a new-comer on the schedule, Ord. The Discoverers handed Ord a 47-0 romp, thus closing the football season and ringing down the curtain on high school football for ten seniors. ..3 71 James Schultz scored on at QLlEll'tCl'lDZlCli sneak as Schuyler was trampcd 32-0.

The CH club claimed Harold Miles, Frederick Geiser, Alvin Ernst, James Pope, Donald Murray, and Rich- ard Grant. Many others participated in other large and small groups throughout the school. Many thought that half the battle was won-we were now entering our junior year. On returning for our junior year, we missed the presence of one of our classmates, Harold Miles, who had met death in a horse accident. Leading the class were Robert Plantz, presidentg Ellen Feye, vice-president, Charlotte Hobbs, secre- tary, and Jerome Mihulka, treasurer. Vergene Frost and Ruth Morlok served as president and treasurer respectively of Y-Teens, while Sandra Davis, secre- tary, and Mary-Reese, treasurer, helped to lead the Booster club. We took great enjoyment in presenting the annual Junior Sports Rally, the theme of which was the Gay Ninetiesf' Gail Drahota and Donald Murray were the attendants to the king and queen. Miss Martha Brockman was assisted by Mr. William Carroll, a newcomer to the faculty. During this year Daniel Grace served as vice- president of Hi-Y and Shirley 'Oppliger was vice- president of Booster club while James Gaver was choosen head cheerleader. Gail Drahota and Daniel Grace were our repre- sentatives to Girls, and Boys' State. Gail represented the American Legion Auxiliary and Daniel Grace represented the Lions' Club. We were quite proud of our Junior-Senior prom, South Pacific, which was taken from the stage play by the same name. James Schultz was master of ceremonies. With the best years of our lives nearing comple- tion, we entered the last lap of our high school days -our senior year. Our leaders this year proved to be James Schultz, president, Wallace Buchholz, vice- presidentg David Clark. secretary, and Marlin Glas- ner, treasurer. Miss Martha Brockman was assisted by Mr. Ker- mitt Stuve. One of the highlights of the year was the crowning of the homecoming queen, Gail Dra- hota, with Fannie Gloor, Carolee Selichnow, Sandra Davis, Shirley Oppliger, and Ruth Kluck acting as her attendants. Janice Asche was given the title of head cheer- leader for the year. Edward Zuroski and Janice Asche reigned as King and Queen of Sports at the Junior Sports Rally, November 30. On December 10 and ll, we presented our senior play, We Shook the Family Tree, with Mr. K. R. Bailey as director and Jean Dilley. student director. The cast included Ellen Feye, Marlin Glasner. Sharon Livingston, Donald Rice, Charlotte Hobbs, Wallace Buchholz, Lois Brakenhoff, Nancy Swanson, Arloa Bakenhus, Robert Plantz, William Schwartzer, and Shannon Wibbels. Joyce McMeekin was first place winner in the local I Speak for Democracy contest sponsored by the State Junior Chamber of Commerce. We of the senior class would like to take this opportunity to thank the juniors for their memorable prom held April 25, 1952. Nearing the end of our high school career, we eagerly look forward to receiving our diploma. Bac- calaureate was held at the high school auditorium May 18. This was followed by Commencement held at the City Auditorium May 22 with Dr. K. O. Broady of the University of Nebraska speaker. DONALD ADKISSON All things are done by industry.

We hope this book will serve as a living memory book portraying the high- lights of Columbus High School. In the future when you look through this annual, we hope you will be reminded of your gains, not only in knowledge but also in friendship, from your high school experiences. The staff is to be commended for its fine cooperation because it is only through coopera- tion that so much can be accomplished. It is only through actual experience that we have learned of the great amount of time and work that goes into the making of this annual. Much credit is also due Miss Eleanore Limes, our spon- sor, whose capable guidance helped us through our many trials and tribulations. As the editor of this yearbook, I sincerely hope that it will help you to remember all the fun and enjoyment you have had in your high school career. -Gail Drahota, Editor Editor ................,... .......
